NIKO leans over from his side of the bed and places
a comforting hand on her shoulder.

Oh my god darling wake up, it's ok.

NIKO (CONT)
BABY!
NIKO (CONT)
It’s ok, wake up, wake up!
NIKO (CONT)
What was it, was it, was it –
EVE
I fell asleep on both my arms.
EVE (CONT)
Oh. Oh they're coming back now.
NIKO
Jesus! My heart! You freak!
EVE
I’m sorry. It was scary.
NIKO
Yeah, it was.
EVE laughs.
EVE
Oh, Jesus, my head. Argh. What time did we leave
last night?
NIKO
It all ended when you and Bill sang "A whole new
world".

EVE
Well at least we have the whole weekend to reco -
EVE (CONT)
Oh, oh my god.
ELENA
Happy Saturday. You were superb last night.
EVE
Thank you. What's going on?
EVE (CONT
Oh did you get me a croissant?
ELENA
No! D’you want the rest of this?
EVE
Of course I want the rest of that.
ELENA
Uh-uh.

Killing Eve – Ep.1 BBC America (Seamless)
EVE
How are you so perky?
EVE (CONT)
You left after I did.
ELENA
I went for a run this morning and then I ate some
coal. Apparently, it's a thing. I feel great.
ELENA (CONT)
Ok, from what I could eavesdrop on, A Russian sex-
trafficking...
ELENA (CONT)
...politician’s been murdered in Vienna -
EVE
Oh no!
ELENA
I know, bum-out.
EVE
Why are they crying about it here?
ELENA
Don't know.

Killing Eve – Ep.1 BBC America (Seamless)
EVE
Was it a contract kill?
ELENA
I don't know.
EVE
You really earn your money you know.
ELENA
I have no idea what we do here.
EVE
Get me a croissant.
ELENA
Right, everyone's in there with Frank.
EVE
Cool.
ELENA
And, huh, oh Lord, it's Carolyn Martens.
EVE
Who?
7
Killing Eve – Ep.1 BBC America (Seamless)
ELENA
MI6. Russia desk. Uh, I'd nail a cousin to work
with that woman. Stone cold badass.
EVE
I'll put in a good word.
ELENA
No, please don't. You're the late one.
BILL
Professional. Where did you get that?
BILL goes for the croissant bag she has placed down
on the table, but EVE pushes it away from him.
FRANK
Ok, well thank you all for giving us your Saturday.
FRANK (CONT)
Turns out people are still murderous bastards on
the weekend.
FRANK (CONT)
This is Carolyn Martens, Head of the Russian Desk.
He gestures to BILL.
FRANK (CONT)
You’ve met Bill Pargrave.

Killing Eve – Ep.1 BBC America (Seamless)
BILL
Hi.
FRANK
And his late assistant …
EVE
Eve Polastri. My apologies, I’m s –
FRANK
They assess and provide diplomatic protection for
visitors to the UK and will be your liaison.
CAROLYN nods.
FRANK (CONT)
It was Bill's er, birthday party last night. They
don't normally look this sweaty.
BILL
It was just a spontaneous thing.
FRANK
Uhum.
CAROLYN
Good morning -
CAROLYN (CONT)
There's been an assassination in Vienna.
CAROLYN (CONT)
Victor Kedrin was a Russian politician visiting
Austria last week.
CAROLYN (CONT)
He was not a popular man, but he had an unfortunately
high profile.
9
Killing Eve – Ep.1 BBC America (Seamless)
CAROLYN (CONT)
Yesterday, Kedrin was coming out of an
exceptionally good, by the way - sushi restaurant
near the Stephansplatz with his girlfriend Kasia
Molkowska.
CAROLYN (CONT)
Somehow, about 50 yards from the restaurant the
assassin managed to slice Kedrin's femoral artery
with a blade without him or his girlfriend
noticing. He was bleeding for about a minute before
he collapsed.
EVE
Cool.
CAROLYN
Er, his girlfriend is the only witness, but she
fled the scene. Interpol traced her here to the UK.
She was picked up in Hammersmith this morning and
needs protection.
EVE
Twenty-quid it was a woman.
CAROLYN
Sorry?
EVE
Sorry. Nothing.
10
Killing Eve – Ep.1 BBC America (Seamless)
BILL
We’ll be sure to sort it -
EVE
Was there any CCTV of the killer?
FRANK
No. No, as far as we know it was just a blind spot.
CAROLYN
Thank you for your time. I imagine the girl is er,
quite traumatised. She’s the only witness. Surround
her with humans will you.
EVE
I said it was probably a woman. Victor Kedrin was a
misogynist and a sex trafficker. He may not have
considered a passing woman a threat. She must have
been able to get close.
CAROLYN
Thank you. Thank you, Eve.
She leaves.
EVE
She said Eve.
BILL
Congratulations.
BILL (CONT)
Give me the rest of that or I'll fire you.
11
Killing Eve – Ep.1 BBC America (Seamless)
EVE
I want to meet that witness. If I'm right then -
BILL
No. Not your job. Get her secure and get her some
clothes. Please don't make this a thing, I'm
feeling very fragile.
EVE
I'm telling you, it’s a woman.
FRANK
Happy birthday Bill.
BILL
It was just a bit of karaoke, Frank.
He exits.

No.

Did you think I was dead?
KONSTANTIN
No.
VILLANELLE

No, I can't I'm sorry.
KONSTANTIN
They want me to give you this.

job.
VILLANELLE

He starts leaving.
KONSTANTIN
You play in Tuscany. And we will watch a movie when

You don't mean that.
Miss You

VILLANELLE (CONT)
Aw. Nice face.
18
Killing Eve – Ep.1 BBC America (Seamless)
EVE
That looks terrifying.
EVE (CONT)
Does it burn?
ELENA
No it just strips your stomach so you can't feel
anything.
EVE
Oh. Cool.
EVE (CONT)
Ok, so her name is Kasia Molkowska. And we’ll need
two officers on each shift.
EVE (CONT)
Oh Jesus, that’s gross. Where do they want her
overnight?
ELENA
Er, don't know. They haven't transferred her from
the station yet.
EVE
Really? Hammersmith?
19
Killing Eve – Ep.1 BBC America (Seamless)
ELENA
Uhum.
EVE (CONT)
So she's still there?
ELENA
Yeah apparently she's a bit of a character.
EVE
Ok. Um ... you know I’m gonna, I'm gonna pop down
there quickly.
ELENA
Why?
EVE
No reason. Just get those officers assigned to her
and I'll sign off.
BILL
Did we sing Disney?
ELENA (SIMULTANEOUS)
Yes.
EVE (SIMULTANEOUS)
Yes.
BILL

Cough up.
EVE

bloke.
EVE
What? What? Since the meeting?
BILL
Yeah. Frank just said.
EVE
No, he said there wasn't -
BILL
20 quid.
EVE
Have you seen it?
BILL
Of course not.
EVE
Why not?
BILL
Stop it. There's a difference between thinking it
was a woman and wanting it to be a woman.
ELENA
Who's a woman?
EVE
You’ll get the rest when I see the tape.
BILL
I'm gonna try to throw up. I suggest you do too.
He leaves.
21
Killing Eve – Ep.1 BBC America (Seamless)
EVE
I wanna see that CCTV!
ELENA
What was that all about?

Nothing. I'm going to the station.

Ask her if it was a man or a woman.
ETHEL

Bunch of animals. Wanna play?

NIKO (CONT)
Whoa. She is flying.
DOM
Yeah.
EVE
The translator couldn't get anything clear out of
her. You recognise anything Dom? It might be
teenage-Polish.
DOM
What do you need?
EVE
Just the description of the person she saw while
she was on the street.
NIKO
Here she goes. Tall, dark.
NIKO (CONT)
If I say to you ...
He points to EVE.
NIKO (CONT)
Ale decha. What does that mean?
DOM
Um. What?
NIKO
What do you think? Ale decha?
DOM
I don't want to comment but, I mean they're lovely

Say it.

Erm, can you pull Margit Polsen from the registry?
And any other active female assassins under the age
of 45.
ELENA
Ok. Hold on.
ELENA (CONT)
I got Margie. Go.
EVE
Er, how big are her tits? Breasts?
ELENA
Ok. I know you're into assassins, but I refuse to
talk about them this way.
EVE
Elena!
ELENA
Massive. She appears to have massive, pendulous
breasts. Is that doing it for you?
EVE
Thank you. Are there any others on file?
28
Killing Eve – Ep.1 BBC America (Seamless)
ELENA
There are just two more on record; I'm just pulling
them up. Erm, Katrina Voltrinski and Wendi Helmsen.
What's this about?
EVE
They're, they’re both dead. Are there any alerts up
for new ones?
ELENA
No.
EVE
Ok, thanks. Oh and don't tell anyone I asked for

How would you kill me? If you could?
NIKO
Um. I don't know. Push you down the stairs?

No, seriously. They'd, they’d come for you
immediately.
NIKO laughs.
NIKO
I don't know. Flatter you to death.
NIKO (CONT)
Ok. How would you kill me?
EVE
I'd paralyse you with Saxitoxin and suffocate you
in your sleep, chop you into the smallest bits I
could manage, boil you down, put you in a blender,
then take you to work in a flask and flush you down
a restaurant toilet.
NIKO
You've really thought about that.
EVE
It's smart, huh.

Au revoir.

KONSTANTIN
Three days ago one of Moscow's most controversial
politician was found professionally murdered in a
pretty street in Vienna. Very good.
VILLANELLE smiles.
KONSTANTIN (CONT)
The murder took place in a CCTV blind spot. Also
good. The politician's girlfriend was reportedly
with him while he died. Fine. And was not harmed.
Not so good. She is currently in London, where she
will be interviewed as a principle witness to the
murder. Bad. Which will take place tomorrow. Very
bad.
VILLANELLE
Have you had a haircut?
He deadpans her.
KONSTANTIN
Yes.
VILLANELLE
Hmm.

Your train leaves in an hour. So keep the job tidy,

Killing Eve – Ep.1 BBC America (Seamless)
EVE
I interviewed the witness and she confirmed it -
BILL
I'll give you the twenty quid to shut up! There was
CCTV -
EVE
No, no, no, no, see there wasn't any CCTV until
after I suggested it might be a woman!
BILL
Did you just say you 'interviewed the witness!?'
BILL (CONT)
Eve! What's happened to you? You're going mad -
EVE
Nothing. Nothing happened. Nothing ever happens.
And see, now this woman is happening and either
someone is stopping it from coming out or someone
is too lazy to follow it up.
BILL
Are you accusing me of something!?
EVE
I don't know, maybe. Yes! Maybe you're being lazy!
BILL
And so what if it is a woman anyway!? I don't care
if it was an alien.
EVE
Yeah but she's, she’s new and she's prolific, Bill.
Look!
BILL
It’s not our job.
EVE
I’ve been compiling these cases for months. Tuscany
yesterday ... Kasia is the only lead we have and
tomorrow morning she's someone else's witness.
BILL
Yes and they’ll interview her and find it all out
for themselves.
45
Killing Eve – Ep.1 BBC America (Seamless)
EVE
What if they're in on it?
BILL
In on what?
EVE
I don't know. I just think, it's weird.
BILL
Our job is weird, but it's also boring. I'm sorry
if your husband is boring you too but that doesn't
give you an excuse to go rogue at work. You could
get in a lot of trouble if I was a serious man.
EVE
Trouble's not interested in me.
BILL
Go to the hospital. Make sure your witness is cosy
and safe. Then go home and don’t do anything weird.
EVE
It’s only two or three questions. Just say you’re
her cousin.
EVE (CONT)
I'm with the security team monitoring Kasia
Molkowska.
NURSE
Last on the left. Ask for Nurse Watkins. You can't
miss her, she's in the 'fun' scrubs.
EVE
Eve Polastri.
46

EVE (CONT)
Hi. Is Kasia awake?
NURSE WATKINS
Er, she's not fit for interview I’m afraid.
EVE
Oh no, I know. This is a relative of Kasia's.
EVE (CONT)
He just wanted to say hi quickly.
NURSE WATKINS
Oh lovely! Ok, er, just take a seat. I'll let you
know when she's ready.
EVE
Great. Thank you.
DOM
Is this legal?
EVE
It's fine. Wait here a sec. I'm just going to pop
to the loo.
DOM
We should have brought her some chocolate or
something.
EVE
I'll see what I can find.
47
Killing Eve – Ep.1 BBC America (Seamless)
EVE
Are you alright?
VILLANELLE
Wear it down.
EVE
Hey.
BILL (V.O.)
Where are you?
EVE
On the loo.
BILL (V.O.)
There was no CCTV.
48
Killing Eve – Ep.1 BBC America (Seamless)
EVE
What?
BILL
It’s annoying me, but you were right. We’ve been
Bullshat!
EVE
Dom?
EVE (CONT)
Oh my god! Oh my god!
She steps over the dead POLICEMAN and runs into the
room.
EVE (CONT)
Oh my god! Oh Jesus!! Dom!!!
EVE (CONT)
Dom? Oh my God Kasia, oh my god Kasia.
49
Killing Eve – Ep.1 BBC America (Seamless)
EVE (CONT)
Oh my god! Oh Kasia! Oh Kasia! Please, please stay
with me!
EVE (CONT)
SOMEBODY HELP ME!!!
EVE (CONT)
OH MY GOD SOMEBODY HELP ME!!!
EVE (CONT)
Kasia, stay with me! Stay with me!
EVE (CONT)
Bedzie dobrze.
(TRANSLATION: It’s gonna be ok.)
EVE (CONT)
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
no, no, no, no, no no ... oh SOMEBODY HELP –
BILL
50
Killing Eve – Ep.1 BBC America (Seamless)
EVE
No, you're not doing that.
BILL
I am. I've been looking for an excuse to call Frank
a dick-swab for years.
EVE
I'm the dick-swab. I should have requested more
security.
BILL
You had two armed officers. You did the right
thing.
BILL (CONT)
You're brilliant. Just don't tell them everything.
You'll sound like a nutter.
FRANK
Right, the boy's parents are here. Apparently, they
thought he was playing bridge.
FRANK (CONT)
Have you made your statement?
EVE nods.
FRANK (CONT)
Well, that one could have gone better. I don't want
to say you only had one job -
EVE
Oh Piss off, Frank!
FRANK
I don't think you should speak to me like that
right now Eve.
51
Killing Eve – Ep.1 BBC America (Seamless)
EVE
Can you, can you just tell me what I need to do?
FRANK
From what I’ve managed to gather, you have
conducted an illegal investigation; you’ve
manipulated a witness, you’ve put a minor in danger
and on top -
BILL
Oh please -
FRANK
Don't interrupt me, Bill! On top of that you failed
in your actual job, no doubt because you were so
busy executing your pretend job, which I believe,
was going to earn you twenty quid. And which you
both seem to think is the most important thing
about this case –
EVE
No. The most important thing is that I was right
about the fact-
FRANK
No, no the most important thing Eve, is that four
people are dead and it's all your fault!
CAROLYN
What were you right about?
EVE
Kasia described the killer as ‘ale decha’, which
means flat chested -
FRANK
How do you know that?
EVE
Because I secretly recorded the interview and
brought it home and asked Dom and my husband to
translate it for me!
FRANK
You're fired.
52
Killing Eve – Ep.1 BBC America (Seamless)
EVE
You're a dick-swab.
BILL
Oi!
EVE
Sorry.
FRANK
Thank you, Bill.
BILL
No, I was going to call you a dick-swab.
CAROLYN
Clearly there’s going to be some reshuffling in
your department.
FRANK
I suggest you both leave, immediately. Your things
will be biked to you.
BILL
Just to be clear Frank.
FRANK
You're fired.
BILL
Excellent, thank you.
53
Killing Eve – Ep.1 BBC America (Seamless)
CAROLYN
Eve.
EVE
Hi.
CAROLYN
Is there anything you need at the shop?
EVE
What?
CAROLYN
Milk or …
EVE
Er …
CAROLYN
Married?
EVE
Yes. You?
CAROLYN
A few times, yes.
EVE
Er, it's really nice of you to come and - whatever
this is. Erm, do you, do you want milk?
CAROLYN
We think she's been operating for two years. Across
ten countries. She's highly skilled, as yet
untraceable and frankly, she's starting to show
off.
54
Killing Eve – Ep.1 BBC America (Seamless)
CAROLYN (CONT)
When you're feeling perkier, I'd like to buy you
breakfast at the Purple Penguin restaurant by
Charing Cross.
CAROLYN (CONT)
Thursday. 9am. I'll wait for 10 minutes.
CAROLYN (CONT)
Right. Buy some milk.
EVE
Oh.
EVE (CONT)
Or he'll think you're having an affair.
EVE
Oh, I don’t think he’d ever think that.
CAROLYN
They all think we're having affairs before they
think we're secret agents.
EVE
Oh no, I think Niko would assume I was an agent
before ever thinking that I was, having an affair.
CAROLYN
You might want to make him think that you're having
an affair then?
CAROLYN (CONT)
Hope to see you Thursday.

Have you got something you need to get off your
chest Bill?
BILL
You can't lead a team with assumptions. It's not
how it's done.
CUT TO:
KONSTANTIN
You disobeyed me.
