7 Keys (2024) Movie Script
1
There was an old woman
who lived
in someone else's house,
in secret, for a year...
in Japan, I think it was.
I read about it online.
This woman slept in a wardrobe,
all curled up inside.
The owner noticed
things moved or went missing...
mostly food
from the kitchen...
TV remote,
some toilet paper.
He thought
he must have imagined it.
It took him a year
to install cameras
and finally he found her.
There were all these comments
on the story.
People freaking out,
in case someone lived
in their house.
They all thought
they were him.
All I could think was...
...what if no one
ever found me?
If I was so small,
so lost that
no one really knew
if I was there...
...or not.
Why do you act
like you don't care
Why do you act
like you don't care
Why do you act
like you don't care
Can I help you?
Uh, yeah.
Table for two?
Mm-hmm.
Rob booked it?
Last name?
I'm not sure.
You can sit here
for now.
Would you like a drink?
I would love one.
A large white.
Sure.
You're not Rob,
are you?
No, sorry.
No, it's just
people use fake photos, so...
Afraid not.
No.
So, I've been stood up.
Um, me, too, I think.
I keep checking,
but no messages.
Arseholes.
Hmm.
What's your name?
Daniel.
Daniel.
I'm Lena.
Am I boring you already?
No, no, sorry.
Just, um...
I'm just worried
something might have
happened to her.
That's what I kept
telling myself.
"Don't worry, Lena.
You've not been stood up.
He's been hit by a bus."
But the chances are, Daniel,
we have both been stood up.
Seems unlikely,
doesn't it?
Two people in the same place
on the same night.
Not that unlikely.
It's a big city,
full of arseholes
who only think
about themselves.
Well, that's a bit depressing.
It's a lot depressing.
Well, fuck 'em!
What do you want?
Well, you know,
same as anyone.
Meet someone.
Be happy.
I meant off the menu,
but I'll see what I can do.
Thank God
this isn't a date.
I really wanted spaghetti.
Why wouldn't
you have spaghetti?
Apparently it looks too gross
or too arousing.
Huh.
What do you think?
Um, I don't think
you look gross.
Liar!
So, what do you do
when you're not being stood up?
Stocks and shares.
Online poker.
Online poker?
Yeah.
Nothing really real.
Mm.
So you're
a gambling man?
A speculator.
I tend not
to get carried away.
But for one night only,
you're throwing caution
to the wind?
So, come on,
are you gonna show me
your arsehole?
Huh?
The girl!
The one that broke your heart.
Oh.
Uh...
Mm.
Aw!
Sarah does not look
like the type of girl
that would stand you up.
No, I know.
That's why I picked her.
She looks shy.
Maybe she's too shy.
Maybe she is hiding at home,
crying into her pillow,
masturbating furiously.
She seemed like a nice girl.
That's the easiest thing
to seem like, online.
Do you wanna
see my arsehole?
Yeah.
He looks, uh...
Hot.
Yeah.
Do you think
I aimed too high?
No, no.
I was gonna say shallow,
but looks can be deceptive.
- No, he was shallow.
- Oh.
But he was also
kind of gentlemanly, too.
Told me his ex cheated on him,
broke his heart.
But he didn't bitch
about her.
He didn't bombard me
with dick pics either, so...
I was gonna pick
someone else on that basis,
but I gave Hot Rob
the benefit of the doubt.
Gave him my prime time
Friday night slot.
Oh, you do this a lot then?
You think I'd be wise
to the fakers by now.
This was my first time.
Don't let it put you off.
There's plenty of nice girls
out there in real life,
if you're willing
to take the risk.
Not gonna lie,
this is my best date
in a long time.
It's a shame
we're incompatible, then.
We are?
Yeah.
Well, your profile says,
"Looking for fun".
-Mine says--
-"Looking for love".
Right, so, you must think
I'm shallow, too.
No, no, I...
I don't think
you're shallow at all.
I think you're...
Go on.
I can take it.
I think you're nice.
A little bit fucked up, maybe.
But nice.
Okay.
Well, excuse me
while I go
and change
my dating profile to that.
You walking to the tube?
I actually can walk home
from here.
Wow.
A true gentleman
with a place in Zone One.
It's really nothing special.
Uh, no, I'm sorry,
I don't.
Not on a first date, um...
Are you religious
or something?
No, no.
I just, um...
Shit.
You're married.
Oh Christ, no.
I just, um...
I like to get to know
a person first.
I find people get
less attractive
the more you get
to know them.
Oh.
Reason why we should quit
while we're ahead.
Wait.
Wait, you will call me, right?
'Cause this is clearly
meant to be.
I mean, the same place,
same night.
How desperate do I seem
on a scale
of one to ten right now?
You're not desperate.
You just know what you want.
I think you're nice, too.
Goodnight then.
Goodnight, Daniel.
- Lena?
- What are you doing?
Fuck fate.
What do you want?
Oh.
Why have you got so many?
They're just places
I used to live.
How come
you kept 'em all?
No reason.
Go on.
Tell me.
Yeah?
Um...
I suppose I just
felt weird throwing 'em out.
I should probably
get round to it, though.
When I was a kid,
me and my mates,
we'd wanna get out,
but there'd be no place to go
so we'd pick locks,
break into places.
-Huh?
-Not to steal or nothing.
Just to have fun
in other people's homes.
The thrill of it,
you know?
No, not really.
You ever been back?
Back?
Landlords hardly
ever change the locks.
- Why would I?
- I live here.
Don't you watch daytime TV?
We're obsessed
with other people's homes.
I'm not.
I don't believe you.
I don't even have a TV.
You don't have much,
but you do have these.
There's gotta be a reason.
I, um...
Hmm?
I never really had a place
when I was young,
so I don't have much,
but what I do have,
I keep hold of.
You were homeless?
I always found somewhere.
I always just felt like I was,
uh,
passing through.
I knew there was something
about you.
They're just old keys.
What if I'm the reason
you kept 'em?
So we can use 'em.
Have fun.
What kind of fun?
No!
Lena, no!
Half the city will be away
the long weekend.
Maybe more.
How many places
are there?
14? 15?
No, some are just the keys
to the building.
There's probably only,
I don't know, six or seven.
So, that's three, four.
Maybe more
if we're feeling lucky.
I'm feelin' lucky.
We will get caught.
That's the fun of it.
You forget
when you get older,
but let me show you.
Go on.
Give me your tour
of the city.
Show me who you were,
who you are,
and I'll show you
the time of your life.
How we gonna do this?
I'll ring the bell.
If no one answers,
we're safe to go in.
What if they're asleep
and no one answers the door?
Then we'll run!
They'll be too slow,
too freaked out to catch us.
What if they're not?
What if they're dangerous?
This is Islington.
Places like this
cost a fortune now.
Oh, rich people
can't be dangerous?
Not like that.
Not like me.
I like that
you're imagining though.
Speculating.
Hmm.
What if?
What if they do answer?
Yeah?
What are you gonna say?
You never played
that game knock down ginger?
No.
Have you ever had
any fun, Daniel?
No, not much.
It's a good job
you met me then.
It's okay.
Daniel?
We're good.
Shh. Shh..
Did you live here
with someone?
Is that why
you're so scared?
Yeah.
Were you together?
Hmm.
Does she still
live in here?
No.
Good.
'Cause it looks like
they're a couple.
Wouldn't want you
getting upset.
I wouldn't.
It's over.
Not yet.
- Relax.
- I'll make us some coffee.
You're not worried
about our fingerprints, um,
DNA, are you?
I'm not any
of the databases.
As far as I know.
Aren't you scared at all?
Only good scared, like
roller-coasters
and bungee jumps.
Are you
on their database?
Not as far as I know.
Oh, shit.
Don't do that.
You never
got caught then?
Breakin' in?
Not by the police.
Why?
Were you on the lease?
- No.
- This was her place.
I was just, um...
Passin' through?
Then there's no connection.
You can get away
with a lot
and no one will ever
join the dots.
Did you grow up
in London?
If I grew up at all.
I grew up here mostly too,
and kind of bounced all over.
Does your family
still live here?
No.
My mum died
when I was young,
my dad a few years ago.
Not soon enough,
if you ask me.
My dad left
before I was born.
My mum wasn't
around much.
She's dead now, too.
There's no one else.
So, why'd you stop
doin' this then?
Did something happen?
I haven't stopped,
have I?
Okay, but when did you
last do it?
Seven, eight years ago.
So, you've never done it
with any of your other dates?
Mm-mm.
So, what's special
about me then?
What's special
about Daniel?
I think you're scared.
So, you cut yourself off.
Maybe 'cause
this girl hurt you.
I don't know.
But I think you wanna be free
of all that to say,
"Fuck you.
I'm doing this.
I can do anything I want.
And I don't have
to be scared anymore."
Am I right?
Yeah.
Go on then.
Say it.
Say what?
I can do anything I want.
And I don't have
to be scared anymore.
I can do anything I want
and I'm not gonna be--
Not gonna be
scared anymore.
Fuck you.
I'm doin' this.
Fuck you.
I'm doin' it.
What was she like?
She was nothing like you.
Was this her favourite?
That's not hers.
Imagine you're showing her
she can't hurt you anymore.
Hey, Daniel.
Lena?
Not Lena.
Her name.
Use her name.
Vicky.
Vicky.
Hey, Daniel.
Hey, Vicky.
I've missed you.
Did you miss me?
No, I, um...
I'm sorry, baby.
It's all my fault.
Oh!
We can't.
I've just made the bed.
Oh.
What if I was them,
coming in and catching you?
Left them the full range
of DNA samples.
Let's go.
You need locking up,
you do.
You've come up
in the world.
No, this place is actually
more expensive
than where I am now.
It's all about postcodes,
apparently.
-Here we are.
-Which one is it?
Top one.
- Go on then.
- It's your turn now.
Scared?
Yeah.
I'll wait
round the corner.
No, no, no, no.
You gotta stay here,
in case they're in.
Find out if they got
any plans for later.
Unless it's another ex
who'll recognise you.
No, it's not.
Perfect.
Maybe no one's in anyway.
No.
Someone's coming.
You do the chit-chat.
No, you're better
at this than me.
-Please, I'll see you la--
-Only 'cause I practice!
I'm goin' shopping.
Have fun.
Bye!
No, Lena!
Lena, don't!
-Yeah?
-Hello, mate.
I'm really sorry
to bother you.
Um...
I'm your neighbour
and I've, um...
I've lost my keys,
and my phone,
and I know
this is really weird,
but I was hoping
I could borrow yours.
Uh, uh...
I know, I know.
I just need
to ring my girlfriend.
Please.
She'll be really mad at me.
I think she's just
shopping somewhere.
I just can't find her.
Thank you!
Thank you so much.
Hey, hang on.
Here.
Bless you, mate.
Thank you.
I'll be two seconds,
I promise.
Hi, babe.
I've locked myself
out the flat.
I knew you'd be good
at this.
Yeah, can you come back
and let me in, please,
soon as you can?
Remember to find out
his plans.
Great.
Thanks.
See you soon.
Bye, babe.
Love you.
Yeah.
I love you, too.
Love you.
Bye.
Oh, thank you, mate.
I'm so sorry.
No problem.
Look, if I'm being honest,
the reason why
I've not got anything,
I left my bag
at another girl's house
last night.
Oh, shit!
Yeah.
For real?
Um, we've only
just moved in.
This is our
first place together,
but I don't think
it's gonna work out.
Look, I'm sorry
to tell you all my problems.
Um, I don't wanna keep you.
Are you on your way out?
Yeah, I gotta
get to work,
but good luck with it, man.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Look, you are a hero
and I owe you a beer.
It's cool.
Do you--
Um, do you wanna wait
inside for her?
-No. No, no, no.
-It's fine if you w--
No, no, no.
Honestly, I'll um,
I'll go for a little walk,
you know?
Clear my head.
Listen, um,
I hope you get away with it,
but if you don't,
come over with that beer
you owe me, huh?
Deal.
-Thank you.
-Yeah, no worries.
Thanks, mate.
Cheers.
See you later.
-Alright. Thanks.
-Bye.
Thank you.
You alright, mate?
Tryin' to get a little boost?
Okay? Ready, oi!
Hey, babe.
Hey.
He'll be heading out
any minute.
-Mm.
-All day.
Seems like
he lives on his own.
How'd I do?
You hungry?
Go on.
No, no, no, no.
Wait, we're down here.
Is there anyone here
who'll recognise you?
Nah.
Never really talked
to anyone.
It's a good thing
I'm helping you
come out of your shell.
Oh, is that
what you're doin'?
You're helping me.
This is clearly
the best weekend of your life.
My help
is your bonus prize.
We're helping each other.
Sex, therapy
and a home-cooked brunch.
What's not to love?
Online poker,
it's a bit unpredictable.
No.
It's perfect.
Our playhouse.
You lay up.
I'll get cooking.
What happened
to sex and therapy?
Don't you wanna eat first?
Oh, yeah.
I know how this happens.
After the first flushes
of passion have gone,
we just sit on the sofa
and get fat.
And happy.
What if we were happy?
Yeah, that'd be nice,
but I told the guy
I cheated on you last night,
slept with another girl.
Bastard!
You don't deserve
my brunch.
Oh, babe,
I'm sorry.
It's just--
it's all this stress at work,
and there's this deadline,
and I'm trying to find my way.
You really are comin' out
of your shell, aren't you?
Shut up, babe.
Oh, fuck.
What's going on in there?
It's the morning workout.
It's almost over,
I'm sorry.
You still hungry?
Sorry it's a bit burnt.
Well, it tastes good.
How did you
live like this?
I just didn't cook.
No. Don't cook, don't watch TV.
Don't sleep around
despite your evident expertise.
Is this where helping me
turns into changing me?
No.
I just wanna know
what you do do.
And what were you doing
when you were here?
The same.
Are you angry with me?
Is it 'cause
I fucked up the eggs?
No, I'm not angry
with you, Lena.
I've just got nothing
to tell you.
I tried to find something
that I was good at
where I didn't have to
deal with people too much.
So I watch stuff online,
I play games online,
I write stuff online.
I'm fine.
I'm just...
I'm not fine in the way
most women want,
so no,
I don't sleep around.
I don't meet many people
I wanna sleep with.
I didn't wanna sleep with you
until you made me.
Sure you did.
Yeah.
Yeah, I did.
Are you still angry
with me?
No.
I just...
I get angry sometimes.
I didn't say
that I don't need changing.
What about you, anyway?
What about?
Well, you haven't really
told me anything.
It's 'cause it's boring.
Come on, Lena.
There must be a reason
why you have
to get your thrills
by breaking into
other people's houses.
What's going on?
My mum,
she used to go out a lot.
I'd fall asleep,
and I'd wake up,
and I'd hear her key
in the door.
Heard her with men,
lots of different men,
and then,
one night she never came back.
What happened to her?
Did she...
She'd moved in
with one of 'em,
then she was
onto the next.
I stayed with people
for a bit,
for as long as
they'd have me,
which was never long enough,
and then
I got put in a home, so...
When I got out,
I desperately wanted
a place of my own.
So, I settled down too fast.
Got in a long-term relationship
with a boy, seven years,
and now he's left me
for someone else, so...
I'm trying to find out
who I am.
Who I was.
So, I'm sorry.
I lied to you.
This is my first time
online dating.
Well, seeing as Rob
never turned up,
I've never actually been,
so...
Why lie about that?
What?
That I'm a fuck-up
and nobody wants me?
It was my first time.
I told you.
You could've told me.
It's different.
You're a man.
It made you more special.
Oh, what? So, it's better
for you to sell yourself
as some sort of, like...
No.
No, I didn't-- I didn't--
I'm sorry,
I didn't mean it like that.
I was just--
I don't want you
to lie to me, Lena.
I want you to feel like
you can be honest with me.
I'm trying.
Wait!
Has he moved back?
- No.
- He's just visiting.
It's a nostalgia trip.
What happened
to the other one?
The other one?
The sad girl.
He said she went travelling.
But she never came back.
Maybe she found
somewhere better.
Cheered up.
Wait there.
They go from one man
to another
and wonder why
they're not happy.
I was married 47 years.
Were you happy?
I knew who he was.
I don't trust that boy.
Okay.
I've got to...
What have you done?
Oh, this?
Nothing.
Stupid accident.
Did you live here
with a girl, too?
No.
No?
Are you sure?
All these keys
aren't your ex's?
Is that your solution
to the homelessness crisis?
Serial monogamy?
Sleep your way
around the city with sad girls?
I lived here alone.
That old woman said
you were together.
She don't trust you.
What old woman?
Upstairs.
Oh, her.
Yeah, she was never
all there.
I thought you never talked
to no one?
I've been holding out
on you.
Yeah?
When my mum died,
I remember my dad telling me...
And I thought
he was gonna tell me a secret,
something exciting,
so when he said it,
I laughed.
And he hit me.
And then he hugged me,
but I wasn't there.
I was...
I was--
I was above us.
Lookin' down,
watching my dad
hug this little boy
who didn't know
whether to laugh or cry,
so he just...
He just did nothing,
and, um...
He didn't speak for a year.
They said it was shock,
but I knew he could've spoken.
I just didn't know
what to say.
I still don't.
I just walk around
pretending to be someone else,
never really making
a connection until,
well, until you came along.
And now you don't know
what to say.
And I've fucked
this up, too.
Oh, for fuck's sake.
Come here.
You still with me?
I just need to go
to the bathroom.
Can you, tidy up?
Don't take long
for the romance to wear off.
Yeah.
Okay, time to go.
I found something
for you.
Make you feel
a bit better.
You alright?
- Yeah.
- Yeah?
Yeah.
Thank you.
It's okay.
We should've buzzed
from below.
Fuck it.
I'm feeling lucky.
Thought you didn't
get carried away?
You changed me.
It's a good thing.
Shit.
Maybe our luck's
run out.
We can find a cafe
or go back to yours.
No, we are not going back.
We gotta keep going.
Here.
Come here.
Hmm?
You can pick locks, right?
That was a long time ago.
Yeah, but come on.
Show me.
Yes.
How did you do that?
Yeah.
This is nice.
I always did
like this place.
Got a nice vibe to it.
There we go.
Do you mind
if we don't, yet?
Oh, yeah.
Whatever.
Okay.
I'll run us a bath.
That seems a little risky.
Nah.
Look, they're at a city break,
or at a festival.
Having fun,
all loved up.
See?
Oh, yeah.
I'm feeling lucky, too.
No, you first.
What if I get in
and you run off?
Trust me.
Come on.
I've been holding out
on you, too.
Um...
Careful with it, yeah?
I'm trusting you.
His name's Cal.
He's the only boy
I've been with
these past seven years.
He's my son.
He's with his dad
this weekend.
We're not together.
We never were.
After I left the home,
I got any job I could.
Cleaning, caring, tempting.
Anything to get by
to save up to go to college.
That was my plan, but I--
I couldn't save up.
I got kicked out,
so once again I was homeless,
but I had the-- the keys
to this place I cleaned.
And they were always away
in amazing places.
This place was
pretty amazing, too,
so I stayed there.
But the owner, Richard,
he came back and he caught me.
Did he hurt you?
No, he was--
he was nice at first.
Then... then he wasn't
so nice.
Then he-- he was a bastard
when he found out.
He gave me money
to-- to keep quiet,
not tell his wife.
He told me to go away,
get rid of it
and never come back.
But I couldn't, so I kept--
I kept the money
and I--
and I used it to keep us.
Me and Cal.
And you--
you never told this Richard?
Not until this year.
It's got so much harder.
The rent went up
and we were
gonna get kicked out, so I...
I had to ask Richard for help.
Huh.
I didn't think
he'd wanna see Cal,
let alone take him, but
now he's got
this perfect son,
this ready-made family and...
...I'm lost.
You let him take Cal?
No, no.
Just to visit.
But he's got lawyers,
he's got money
and he's got me believing
that Cal don't need me anymore,
that we'd all
be better off.
But now-- now, see,
I've found you
and I don't wanna
fuck this up.
If we get caught,
he'll get Cal
and I-- I don't think
that's for the best anymore.
So, I-- I wanna stop this.
I wanna take you home.
To my home.
It's-- it's not far.
It's not amazing.
It's pretty shit, but
it's got a little boy's room
full of mess and toys.
And love.
If that's what you want.
If you want us.
I'd understand
if that's not what you want.
I mean,
no one puts single mums
in their searches
unless they're looking
for someone who'll put up
with maximum crap
and be grateful for it.
Daniel?
What do you want?
Please say something.
I love you.
Yeah?
I love you.
I love you.
You love me?
I love you.
Will you?
Won't you?
Just forget it
Time will tell you
what's worth waiting for
Or
In your head
it's complicated
You will see
it's not worth breaking falls
Falls
Just to see
it's so fast pacing
Plan your time
by not just letting go
Oh
Sometimes
it's just complicated
Are we all just waves
and measures, though?
Oh
Oh
I'm standing
on the edge of view
I need a connection
I'm standing
on the edge of view
I need a connection
Aware of something
never knew
I need a connection
I'm standing
on the edge of view
I need a connection
You feel that you
won't regret it
When it's over
Don't.
Don't even think about it.
Okay.
No problem.
Okay, just...
Just take what you want
and go.
And you won't
call the police?
No.
I can trust you, right?
Right.
Listen,
this never happened.
Right.
I'm leaving it there,
I'm leaving it there.
I'm leaving it there.
I'm leaving it--
I'm standing
on the edge of view
I need a connection
I'm standing
on the edge of view
I need a connection
Aware of something
never knew
I need a connection
I'm standing
on the edge of view
-You alright?
-Yeah.
-Oh!
-You?
That was close.
Where were you?
I was arranging our getaway.
Oh, it's too risky.
We should just run.
No.
No, wait here.
-Hmm?
-Trust me.
Don't you fucking dare!
I've called the police.
I know you're not
gonna hit me with that then,
because I'm sure they told you
to wait for them, right?
Wait! Stay, stay.
Don't, just-- come on.
Hey.
Stay.
Get away from the van.
Put the hammer down.
Look, come on, mate.
Give me the keys.
There's witnesses.
Can't call it self-defence.
I'm warning you.
Alright, fine.
Here's the keys.
Don't do anything.
-The keys.
-Here.
Hey.
Yeah.
Fuckin' hell, mate!
Fuck off!
Oi, where you going?
Looking for you.
Here, quick!
Get in!
Get in now!
We should've parked
further away.
He'll have reported
the van stolen.
Oh, it's fine.
Ah, must've changed
the fucking locks.
Can't pick these.
Sorry.
Yeah.
We should stop now.
It's a sign.
Huh?
Do you give up
on everything so easily?
Fuck's sake.
Come on.
No, come on.
Come on!
Have a little faith, Lena.
Come on.
They'll have an alarm.
Why are you so worried
all of a sudden?
Has something changed?
I told you, because of Cal,
and Richard.
People are so predictable.
We're doing this.
Look, see?
No alarms.
No.
What?
I've never really said that
to anyone before.
I didn't know I could.
I normally just do
what other people want, but...
You understand, right?
-Yeah.
-I'm tired.
Yeah.
Hey, look, look, you sit down.
Sit down, and I will...
I will
make us some coffee,
yeah?
I had to bring you here.
You know, this was a--
this was a big step for me.
It was my first proper place
in London.
Well, it wasn't really mine,
I was a lodger,
but before this place
was done up,
it was a real dump.
And the landlady,
she was a bitch, but--
I felt free.
To begin with.
But this city,
it traps you.
You know, it sucks you in
and then there's no escape.
And there's all these rooms
and flats and tiny corners
that you carve out
and cling onto
to make you feel like
you have a stake,
like you matter.
But the truth is,
no one really gives a fuck
if you're there
or not.
And then you're just stuck,
aren't you?
You're just stuck
looking for love or fun
or whatever it is
that you're meant to feel.
Lena, I have been looking,
and looking, and feeling nothing
for so long
until you came along.
You have no idea
how alone I've been.
Oh, fuck it!
How about
a glass of water?
Glass of water?
Yeah. That's it.
Okay, glass of water.
All that's
in the past now.
Laid to rest.
The next key.
Next key can be ours.
It's mine.
I own it.
I thought
you didn't have a place.
Yeah.
I never wanted to go back
there to live.
It wasn't a happy home.
But now...
you know,
now I can see it could be.
We could change it,
you know?
Fix it up,
make it nice for you,
me and Cal.
Better than whatever
Richard has.
Kids don't need
those things.
You're his home.
His mum.
I could be his dad.
I'm sorry.
It's all my fault.
I-- I shouldn't have
followed you.
I should have let you go.
No.
No, no, no.
All my life
I've been walking around
with all this love,
trying to give it to someone.
Anyone but me.
It gets me
into trouble because
I think they love me back
in the same way,
but they don't.
I thought you was like me,
but you're not.
You're the opposite.
That's why we fit together.
You know,
you've got enough love
for the both of us.
It's perfect.
Is it?
Yeah.
Daniel, these look like
the old woman's.
Hmm?
Well, they're nothing.
They're...
They don't matter,
none of that matters.
They're for you.
Here.
See?
Perfect.
Meant to be.
I love you.
But I need to go
to the toilet first.
Oh, so you like Rob better now
he's sent you a dick pic?
Oh, fucking hell!
Women are so fucked up!
What?
That bitch landlady.
She fell.
I panicked.
When I came back to myself,
I realized that no one
had noticed she was gone.
No one cared.
And I could do this.
I kept her alive
for a while, online,
and then I let her go,
and then I moved on
to the next one.
You wanted to see
the places where I lived.
Well, here they are.
These are the only places
I've ever felt anything,
until you.
How many?
It doesn't matter.
None of that matters.
It's the truth, Lena.
Think about it.
Who would really care
if you were gone?
Cal.
He would.
You think?
His dad would tell him
you'd left.
That you deserved
everything you got.
And Cal?
Cal would have
to move on.
He'd have to look
after himself, or else...
Is that what happened to you?
I never wanted any of this.
I walked away.
You chose to come back.
What, what?
To save me?
We can save each other.
Then let me go.
I can't.
I can't, because you'll run
and I don't wanna hurt you.
Then don't, yeah?
Show me you've changed.
Trust me.
Oh, you fucking bitch!
Help!
Help!
Okay.
Okay.
Help!
No.
Oh.
Oh, my...
I'm so sorry.
I'm so sorry.
Oh...
Oh, my....
Oh, my...
Lena?
Lena, let me out!
Lena!
You're his home.
His mum.
I could be his dad.
Doors open.
Mummy!
Don't.
Look, please.
Let him go, yeah?
Have you seen
what you've done to me, Lena?
Mummy.
It's okay, baby.
I won't let him hurt you.
No, it's not okay!
People lie to you.
They hurt you.
It's not his fault.
All I did was try and love you.
Yeah, but this isn't love.
You don't understand, do you?
The things that
I've done for us.
This is Cal's place now.
Ours.
We can get away with anything.
Especially here.
Who knows what these people
get away with every day.
We can live here, together.
Happily ever after,
if you let us.
Can I come up?
Come on.
I'm sorry I hurt you.
I'll try to make it better,
but we have to do better, hmm?
We have to care.
Or else nothing
will ever change.
Thank you.
I didn't call them.
I wouldn't.
I don't want to lose him.
You won't.
We won't get away with this.
We shouldn't.
You should.
You never hurt anyone,
except for me.
Tell 'em it was me.
I did all this.
I don't understand.
You just came to pick up Cal
because he missed you.
He needs you.
He doesn't need Richard.
Richard will have
loads of enemies.
I was just another.
You don't even know me.
There's nothing
to connect us.
See?
I'm good at this.
So are you.
So go on.
What are you gonna say to them?
I don't know who he was.
I just came here
for Cal.
Perfect.
Meant to be.
I can take you home now.
We can stay here.
It's mine after all.
We'll see.
Am I human?
Yes, I am human
I'm fairly certain
I am mostly human
Then what are you?
What are you?
What are you?
What are you to do
the things that you do?
Ooh, ooh
Are you human?
Yes, you are human
I'm fairly certain
you are almost human
Then who am I,
who am I, who am I?
Who am I to say
eye for an eye, eye, eye
Are we human?
Yes, we are human
I'm fairly certain
we are mostly human
What we do,
what we do, what we do
Should always
make a change to be true?
Ooh, ooh
Excuse me
while I kiss the sky
Am I human?
Yes, I am human
I'm fairly certain
I am mostly human
There was an old woman
who lived
in someone else's house,
in secret, for a year...
in Japan, I think it was.
I read about it online.
This woman slept in a wardrobe,
all curled up inside.
The owner noticed
things moved or went missing...
mostly food
from the kitchen...
TV remote,
some toilet paper.
He thought
he must have imagined it.
It took him a year
to install cameras
and finally he found her.
There were all these comments
on the story.
People freaking out,
in case someone lived
in their house.
They all thought
they were him.
All I could think was...
...what if no one
ever found me?
If I was so small,
so lost that
no one really knew
if I was there...
...or not.
Why do you act
like you don't care
Why do you act
like you don't care
Why do you act
like you don't care
Can I help you?
Uh, yeah.
Table for two?
Mm-hmm.
Rob booked it?
Last name?
I'm not sure.
You can sit here
for now.
Would you like a drink?
I would love one.
A large white.
Sure.
You're not Rob,
are you?
No, sorry.
No, it's just
people use fake photos, so...
Afraid not.
No.
So, I've been stood up.
Um, me, too, I think.
I keep checking,
but no messages.
Arseholes.
Hmm.
What's your name?
Daniel.
Daniel.
I'm Lena.
Am I boring you already?
No, no, sorry.
Just, um...
I'm just worried
something might have
happened to her.
That's what I kept
telling myself.
"Don't worry, Lena.
You've not been stood up.
He's been hit by a bus."
But the chances are, Daniel,
we have both been stood up.
Seems unlikely,
doesn't it?
Two people in the same place
on the same night.
Not that unlikely.
It's a big city,
full of arseholes
who only think
about themselves.
Well, that's a bit depressing.
It's a lot depressing.
Well, fuck 'em!
What do you want?
Well, you know,
same as anyone.
Meet someone.
Be happy.
I meant off the menu,
but I'll see what I can do.
Thank God
this isn't a date.
I really wanted spaghetti.
Why wouldn't
you have spaghetti?
Apparently it looks too gross
or too arousing.
Huh.
What do you think?
Um, I don't think
you look gross.
Liar!
So, what do you do
when you're not being stood up?
Stocks and shares.
Online poker.
Online poker?
Yeah.
Nothing really real.
Mm.
So you're
a gambling man?
A speculator.
I tend not
to get carried away.
But for one night only,
you're throwing caution
to the wind?
So, come on,
are you gonna show me
your arsehole?
Huh?
The girl!
The one that broke your heart.
Oh.
Uh...
Mm.
Aw!
Sarah does not look
like the type of girl
that would stand you up.
No, I know.
That's why I picked her.
She looks shy.
Maybe she's too shy.
Maybe she is hiding at home,
crying into her pillow,
masturbating furiously.
She seemed like a nice girl.
That's the easiest thing
to seem like, online.
Do you wanna
see my arsehole?
Yeah.
He looks, uh...
Hot.
Yeah.
Do you think
I aimed too high?
No, no.
I was gonna say shallow,
but looks can be deceptive.
- No, he was shallow.
- Oh.
But he was also
kind of gentlemanly, too.
Told me his ex cheated on him,
broke his heart.
But he didn't bitch
about her.
He didn't bombard me
with dick pics either, so...
I was gonna pick
someone else on that basis,
but I gave Hot Rob
the benefit of the doubt.
Gave him my prime time
Friday night slot.
Oh, you do this a lot then?
You think I'd be wise
to the fakers by now.
This was my first time.
Don't let it put you off.
There's plenty of nice girls
out there in real life,
if you're willing
to take the risk.
Not gonna lie,
this is my best date
in a long time.
It's a shame
we're incompatible, then.
We are?
Yeah.
Well, your profile says,
"Looking for fun".
-Mine says--
-"Looking for love".
Right, so, you must think
I'm shallow, too.
No, no, I...
I don't think
you're shallow at all.
I think you're...
Go on.
I can take it.
I think you're nice.
A little bit fucked up, maybe.
But nice.
Okay.
Well, excuse me
while I go
and change
my dating profile to that.
You walking to the tube?
I actually can walk home
from here.
Wow.
A true gentleman
with a place in Zone One.
It's really nothing special.
Uh, no, I'm sorry,
I don't.
Not on a first date, um...
Are you religious
or something?
No, no.
I just, um...
Shit.
You're married.
Oh Christ, no.
I just, um...
I like to get to know
a person first.
I find people get
less attractive
the more you get
to know them.
Oh.
Reason why we should quit
while we're ahead.
Wait.
Wait, you will call me, right?
'Cause this is clearly
meant to be.
I mean, the same place,
same night.
How desperate do I seem
on a scale
of one to ten right now?
You're not desperate.
You just know what you want.
I think you're nice, too.
Goodnight then.
Goodnight, Daniel.
- Lena?
- What are you doing?
Fuck fate.
What do you want?
Oh.
Why have you got so many?
They're just places
I used to live.
How come
you kept 'em all?
No reason.
Go on.
Tell me.
Yeah?
Um...
I suppose I just
felt weird throwing 'em out.
I should probably
get round to it, though.
When I was a kid,
me and my mates,
we'd wanna get out,
but there'd be no place to go
so we'd pick locks,
break into places.
-Huh?
-Not to steal or nothing.
Just to have fun
in other people's homes.
The thrill of it,
you know?
No, not really.
You ever been back?
Back?
Landlords hardly
ever change the locks.
- Why would I?
- I live here.
Don't you watch daytime TV?
We're obsessed
with other people's homes.
I'm not.
I don't believe you.
I don't even have a TV.
You don't have much,
but you do have these.
There's gotta be a reason.
I, um...
Hmm?
I never really had a place
when I was young,
so I don't have much,
but what I do have,
I keep hold of.
You were homeless?
I always found somewhere.
I always just felt like I was,
uh,
passing through.
I knew there was something
about you.
They're just old keys.
What if I'm the reason
you kept 'em?
So we can use 'em.
Have fun.
What kind of fun?
No!
Lena, no!
Half the city will be away
the long weekend.
Maybe more.
How many places
are there?
14? 15?
No, some are just the keys
to the building.
There's probably only,
I don't know, six or seven.
So, that's three, four.
Maybe more
if we're feeling lucky.
I'm feelin' lucky.
We will get caught.
That's the fun of it.
You forget
when you get older,
but let me show you.
Go on.
Give me your tour
of the city.
Show me who you were,
who you are,
and I'll show you
the time of your life.
How we gonna do this?
I'll ring the bell.
If no one answers,
we're safe to go in.
What if they're asleep
and no one answers the door?
Then we'll run!
They'll be too slow,
too freaked out to catch us.
What if they're not?
What if they're dangerous?
This is Islington.
Places like this
cost a fortune now.
Oh, rich people
can't be dangerous?
Not like that.
Not like me.
I like that
you're imagining though.
Speculating.
Hmm.
What if?
What if they do answer?
Yeah?
What are you gonna say?
You never played
that game knock down ginger?
No.
Have you ever had
any fun, Daniel?
No, not much.
It's a good job
you met me then.
It's okay.
Daniel?
We're good.
Shh. Shh..
Did you live here
with someone?
Is that why
you're so scared?
Yeah.
Were you together?
Hmm.
Does she still
live in here?
No.
Good.
'Cause it looks like
they're a couple.
Wouldn't want you
getting upset.
I wouldn't.
It's over.
Not yet.
- Relax.
- I'll make us some coffee.
You're not worried
about our fingerprints, um,
DNA, are you?
I'm not any
of the databases.
As far as I know.
Aren't you scared at all?
Only good scared, like
roller-coasters
and bungee jumps.
Are you
on their database?
Not as far as I know.
Oh, shit.
Don't do that.
You never
got caught then?
Breakin' in?
Not by the police.
Why?
Were you on the lease?
- No.
- This was her place.
I was just, um...
Passin' through?
Then there's no connection.
You can get away
with a lot
and no one will ever
join the dots.
Did you grow up
in London?
If I grew up at all.
I grew up here mostly too,
and kind of bounced all over.
Does your family
still live here?
No.
My mum died
when I was young,
my dad a few years ago.
Not soon enough,
if you ask me.
My dad left
before I was born.
My mum wasn't
around much.
She's dead now, too.
There's no one else.
So, why'd you stop
doin' this then?
Did something happen?
I haven't stopped,
have I?
Okay, but when did you
last do it?
Seven, eight years ago.
So, you've never done it
with any of your other dates?
Mm-mm.
So, what's special
about me then?
What's special
about Daniel?
I think you're scared.
So, you cut yourself off.
Maybe 'cause
this girl hurt you.
I don't know.
But I think you wanna be free
of all that to say,
"Fuck you.
I'm doing this.
I can do anything I want.
And I don't have
to be scared anymore."
Am I right?
Yeah.
Go on then.
Say it.
Say what?
I can do anything I want.
And I don't have
to be scared anymore.
I can do anything I want
and I'm not gonna be--
Not gonna be
scared anymore.
Fuck you.
I'm doin' this.
Fuck you.
I'm doin' it.
What was she like?
She was nothing like you.
Was this her favourite?
That's not hers.
Imagine you're showing her
she can't hurt you anymore.
Hey, Daniel.
Lena?
Not Lena.
Her name.
Use her name.
Vicky.
Vicky.
Hey, Daniel.
Hey, Vicky.
I've missed you.
Did you miss me?
No, I, um...
I'm sorry, baby.
It's all my fault.
Oh!
We can't.
I've just made the bed.
Oh.
What if I was them,
coming in and catching you?
Left them the full range
of DNA samples.
Let's go.
You need locking up,
you do.
You've come up
in the world.
No, this place is actually
more expensive
than where I am now.
It's all about postcodes,
apparently.
-Here we are.
-Which one is it?
Top one.
- Go on then.
- It's your turn now.
Scared?
Yeah.
I'll wait
round the corner.
No, no, no, no.
You gotta stay here,
in case they're in.
Find out if they got
any plans for later.
Unless it's another ex
who'll recognise you.
No, it's not.
Perfect.
Maybe no one's in anyway.
No.
Someone's coming.
You do the chit-chat.
No, you're better
at this than me.
-Please, I'll see you la--
-Only 'cause I practice!
I'm goin' shopping.
Have fun.
Bye!
No, Lena!
Lena, don't!
-Yeah?
-Hello, mate.
I'm really sorry
to bother you.
Um...
I'm your neighbour
and I've, um...
I've lost my keys,
and my phone,
and I know
this is really weird,
but I was hoping
I could borrow yours.
Uh, uh...
I know, I know.
I just need
to ring my girlfriend.
Please.
She'll be really mad at me.
I think she's just
shopping somewhere.
I just can't find her.
Thank you!
Thank you so much.
Hey, hang on.
Here.
Bless you, mate.
Thank you.
I'll be two seconds,
I promise.
Hi, babe.
I've locked myself
out the flat.
I knew you'd be good
at this.
Yeah, can you come back
and let me in, please,
soon as you can?
Remember to find out
his plans.
Great.
Thanks.
See you soon.
Bye, babe.
Love you.
Yeah.
I love you, too.
Love you.
Bye.
Oh, thank you, mate.
I'm so sorry.
No problem.
Look, if I'm being honest,
the reason why
I've not got anything,
I left my bag
at another girl's house
last night.
Oh, shit!
Yeah.
For real?
Um, we've only
just moved in.
This is our
first place together,
but I don't think
it's gonna work out.
Look, I'm sorry
to tell you all my problems.
Um, I don't wanna keep you.
Are you on your way out?
Yeah, I gotta
get to work,
but good luck with it, man.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Look, you are a hero
and I owe you a beer.
It's cool.
Do you--
Um, do you wanna wait
inside for her?
-No. No, no, no.
-It's fine if you w--
No, no, no.
Honestly, I'll um,
I'll go for a little walk,
you know?
Clear my head.
Listen, um,
I hope you get away with it,
but if you don't,
come over with that beer
you owe me, huh?
Deal.
-Thank you.
-Yeah, no worries.
Thanks, mate.
Cheers.
See you later.
-Alright. Thanks.
-Bye.
Thank you.
You alright, mate?
Tryin' to get a little boost?
Okay? Ready, oi!
Hey, babe.
Hey.
He'll be heading out
any minute.
-Mm.
-All day.
Seems like
he lives on his own.
How'd I do?
You hungry?
Go on.
No, no, no, no.
Wait, we're down here.
Is there anyone here
who'll recognise you?
Nah.
Never really talked
to anyone.
It's a good thing
I'm helping you
come out of your shell.
Oh, is that
what you're doin'?
You're helping me.
This is clearly
the best weekend of your life.
My help
is your bonus prize.
We're helping each other.
Sex, therapy
and a home-cooked brunch.
What's not to love?
Online poker,
it's a bit unpredictable.
No.
It's perfect.
Our playhouse.
You lay up.
I'll get cooking.
What happened
to sex and therapy?
Don't you wanna eat first?
Oh, yeah.
I know how this happens.
After the first flushes
of passion have gone,
we just sit on the sofa
and get fat.
And happy.
What if we were happy?
Yeah, that'd be nice,
but I told the guy
I cheated on you last night,
slept with another girl.
Bastard!
You don't deserve
my brunch.
Oh, babe,
I'm sorry.
It's just--
it's all this stress at work,
and there's this deadline,
and I'm trying to find my way.
You really are comin' out
of your shell, aren't you?
Shut up, babe.
Oh, fuck.
What's going on in there?
It's the morning workout.
It's almost over,
I'm sorry.
You still hungry?
Sorry it's a bit burnt.
Well, it tastes good.
How did you
live like this?
I just didn't cook.
No. Don't cook, don't watch TV.
Don't sleep around
despite your evident expertise.
Is this where helping me
turns into changing me?
No.
I just wanna know
what you do do.
And what were you doing
when you were here?
The same.
Are you angry with me?
Is it 'cause
I fucked up the eggs?
No, I'm not angry
with you, Lena.
I've just got nothing
to tell you.
I tried to find something
that I was good at
where I didn't have to
deal with people too much.
So I watch stuff online,
I play games online,
I write stuff online.
I'm fine.
I'm just...
I'm not fine in the way
most women want,
so no,
I don't sleep around.
I don't meet many people
I wanna sleep with.
I didn't wanna sleep with you
until you made me.
Sure you did.
Yeah.
Yeah, I did.
Are you still angry
with me?
No.
I just...
I get angry sometimes.
I didn't say
that I don't need changing.
What about you, anyway?
What about?
Well, you haven't really
told me anything.
It's 'cause it's boring.
Come on, Lena.
There must be a reason
why you have
to get your thrills
by breaking into
other people's houses.
What's going on?
My mum,
she used to go out a lot.
I'd fall asleep,
and I'd wake up,
and I'd hear her key
in the door.
Heard her with men,
lots of different men,
and then,
one night she never came back.
What happened to her?
Did she...
She'd moved in
with one of 'em,
then she was
onto the next.
I stayed with people
for a bit,
for as long as
they'd have me,
which was never long enough,
and then
I got put in a home, so...
When I got out,
I desperately wanted
a place of my own.
So, I settled down too fast.
Got in a long-term relationship
with a boy, seven years,
and now he's left me
for someone else, so...
I'm trying to find out
who I am.
Who I was.
So, I'm sorry.
I lied to you.
This is my first time
online dating.
Well, seeing as Rob
never turned up,
I've never actually been,
so...
Why lie about that?
What?
That I'm a fuck-up
and nobody wants me?
It was my first time.
I told you.
You could've told me.
It's different.
You're a man.
It made you more special.
Oh, what? So, it's better
for you to sell yourself
as some sort of, like...
No.
No, I didn't-- I didn't--
I'm sorry,
I didn't mean it like that.
I was just--
I don't want you
to lie to me, Lena.
I want you to feel like
you can be honest with me.
I'm trying.
Wait!
Has he moved back?
- No.
- He's just visiting.
It's a nostalgia trip.
What happened
to the other one?
The other one?
The sad girl.
He said she went travelling.
But she never came back.
Maybe she found
somewhere better.
Cheered up.
Wait there.
They go from one man
to another
and wonder why
they're not happy.
I was married 47 years.
Were you happy?
I knew who he was.
I don't trust that boy.
Okay.
I've got to...
What have you done?
Oh, this?
Nothing.
Stupid accident.
Did you live here
with a girl, too?
No.
No?
Are you sure?
All these keys
aren't your ex's?
Is that your solution
to the homelessness crisis?
Serial monogamy?
Sleep your way
around the city with sad girls?
I lived here alone.
That old woman said
you were together.
She don't trust you.
What old woman?
Upstairs.
Oh, her.
Yeah, she was never
all there.
I thought you never talked
to no one?
I've been holding out
on you.
Yeah?
When my mum died,
I remember my dad telling me...
And I thought
he was gonna tell me a secret,
something exciting,
so when he said it,
I laughed.
And he hit me.
And then he hugged me,
but I wasn't there.
I was...
I was--
I was above us.
Lookin' down,
watching my dad
hug this little boy
who didn't know
whether to laugh or cry,
so he just...
He just did nothing,
and, um...
He didn't speak for a year.
They said it was shock,
but I knew he could've spoken.
I just didn't know
what to say.
I still don't.
I just walk around
pretending to be someone else,
never really making
a connection until,
well, until you came along.
And now you don't know
what to say.
And I've fucked
this up, too.
Oh, for fuck's sake.
Come here.
You still with me?
I just need to go
to the bathroom.
Can you, tidy up?
Don't take long
for the romance to wear off.
Yeah.
Okay, time to go.
I found something
for you.
Make you feel
a bit better.
You alright?
- Yeah.
- Yeah?
Yeah.
Thank you.
It's okay.
We should've buzzed
from below.
Fuck it.
I'm feeling lucky.
Thought you didn't
get carried away?
You changed me.
It's a good thing.
Shit.
Maybe our luck's
run out.
We can find a cafe
or go back to yours.
No, we are not going back.
We gotta keep going.
Here.
Come here.
Hmm?
You can pick locks, right?
That was a long time ago.
Yeah, but come on.
Show me.
Yes.
How did you do that?
Yeah.
This is nice.
I always did
like this place.
Got a nice vibe to it.
There we go.
Do you mind
if we don't, yet?
Oh, yeah.
Whatever.
Okay.
I'll run us a bath.
That seems a little risky.
Nah.
Look, they're at a city break,
or at a festival.
Having fun,
all loved up.
See?
Oh, yeah.
I'm feeling lucky, too.
No, you first.
What if I get in
and you run off?
Trust me.
Come on.
I've been holding out
on you, too.
Um...
Careful with it, yeah?
I'm trusting you.
His name's Cal.
He's the only boy
I've been with
these past seven years.
He's my son.
He's with his dad
this weekend.
We're not together.
We never were.
After I left the home,
I got any job I could.
Cleaning, caring, tempting.
Anything to get by
to save up to go to college.
That was my plan, but I--
I couldn't save up.
I got kicked out,
so once again I was homeless,
but I had the-- the keys
to this place I cleaned.
And they were always away
in amazing places.
This place was
pretty amazing, too,
so I stayed there.
But the owner, Richard,
he came back and he caught me.
Did he hurt you?
No, he was--
he was nice at first.
Then... then he wasn't
so nice.
Then he-- he was a bastard
when he found out.
He gave me money
to-- to keep quiet,
not tell his wife.
He told me to go away,
get rid of it
and never come back.
But I couldn't, so I kept--
I kept the money
and I--
and I used it to keep us.
Me and Cal.
And you--
you never told this Richard?
Not until this year.
It's got so much harder.
The rent went up
and we were
gonna get kicked out, so I...
I had to ask Richard for help.
Huh.
I didn't think
he'd wanna see Cal,
let alone take him, but
now he's got
this perfect son,
this ready-made family and...
...I'm lost.
You let him take Cal?
No, no.
Just to visit.
But he's got lawyers,
he's got money
and he's got me believing
that Cal don't need me anymore,
that we'd all
be better off.
But now-- now, see,
I've found you
and I don't wanna
fuck this up.
If we get caught,
he'll get Cal
and I-- I don't think
that's for the best anymore.
So, I-- I wanna stop this.
I wanna take you home.
To my home.
It's-- it's not far.
It's not amazing.
It's pretty shit, but
it's got a little boy's room
full of mess and toys.
And love.
If that's what you want.
If you want us.
I'd understand
if that's not what you want.
I mean,
no one puts single mums
in their searches
unless they're looking
for someone who'll put up
with maximum crap
and be grateful for it.
Daniel?
What do you want?
Please say something.
I love you.
Yeah?
I love you.
I love you.
You love me?
I love you.
Will you?
Won't you?
Just forget it
Time will tell you
what's worth waiting for
Or
In your head
it's complicated
You will see
it's not worth breaking falls
Falls
Just to see
it's so fast pacing
Plan your time
by not just letting go
Oh
Sometimes
it's just complicated
Are we all just waves
and measures, though?
Oh
Oh
I'm standing
on the edge of view
I need a connection
I'm standing
on the edge of view
I need a connection
Aware of something
never knew
I need a connection
I'm standing
on the edge of view
I need a connection
You feel that you
won't regret it
When it's over
Don't.
Don't even think about it.
Okay.
No problem.
Okay, just...
Just take what you want
and go.
And you won't
call the police?
No.
I can trust you, right?
Right.
Listen,
this never happened.
Right.
I'm leaving it there,
I'm leaving it there.
I'm leaving it there.
I'm leaving it--
I'm standing
on the edge of view
I need a connection
I'm standing
on the edge of view
I need a connection
Aware of something
never knew
I need a connection
I'm standing
on the edge of view
-You alright?
-Yeah.
-Oh!
-You?
That was close.
Where were you?
I was arranging our getaway.
Oh, it's too risky.
We should just run.
No.
No, wait here.
-Hmm?
-Trust me.
Don't you fucking dare!
I've called the police.
I know you're not
gonna hit me with that then,
because I'm sure they told you
to wait for them, right?
Wait! Stay, stay.
Don't, just-- come on.
Hey.
Stay.
Get away from the van.
Put the hammer down.
Look, come on, mate.
Give me the keys.
There's witnesses.
Can't call it self-defence.
I'm warning you.
Alright, fine.
Here's the keys.
Don't do anything.
-The keys.
-Here.
Hey.
Yeah.
Fuckin' hell, mate!
Fuck off!
Oi, where you going?
Looking for you.
Here, quick!
Get in!
Get in now!
We should've parked
further away.
He'll have reported
the van stolen.
Oh, it's fine.
Ah, must've changed
the fucking locks.
Can't pick these.
Sorry.
Yeah.
We should stop now.
It's a sign.
Huh?
Do you give up
on everything so easily?
Fuck's sake.
Come on.
No, come on.
Come on!
Have a little faith, Lena.
Come on.
They'll have an alarm.
Why are you so worried
all of a sudden?
Has something changed?
I told you, because of Cal,
and Richard.
People are so predictable.
We're doing this.
Look, see?
No alarms.
No.
What?
I've never really said that
to anyone before.
I didn't know I could.
I normally just do
what other people want, but...
You understand, right?
-Yeah.
-I'm tired.
Yeah.
Hey, look, look, you sit down.
Sit down, and I will...
I will
make us some coffee,
yeah?
I had to bring you here.
You know, this was a--
this was a big step for me.
It was my first proper place
in London.
Well, it wasn't really mine,
I was a lodger,
but before this place
was done up,
it was a real dump.
And the landlady,
she was a bitch, but--
I felt free.
To begin with.
But this city,
it traps you.
You know, it sucks you in
and then there's no escape.
And there's all these rooms
and flats and tiny corners
that you carve out
and cling onto
to make you feel like
you have a stake,
like you matter.
But the truth is,
no one really gives a fuck
if you're there
or not.
And then you're just stuck,
aren't you?
You're just stuck
looking for love or fun
or whatever it is
that you're meant to feel.
Lena, I have been looking,
and looking, and feeling nothing
for so long
until you came along.
You have no idea
how alone I've been.
Oh, fuck it!
How about
a glass of water?
Glass of water?
Yeah. That's it.
Okay, glass of water.
All that's
in the past now.
Laid to rest.
The next key.
Next key can be ours.
It's mine.
I own it.
I thought
you didn't have a place.
Yeah.
I never wanted to go back
there to live.
It wasn't a happy home.
But now...
you know,
now I can see it could be.
We could change it,
you know?
Fix it up,
make it nice for you,
me and Cal.
Better than whatever
Richard has.
Kids don't need
those things.
You're his home.
His mum.
I could be his dad.
I'm sorry.
It's all my fault.
I-- I shouldn't have
followed you.
I should have let you go.
No.
No, no, no.
All my life
I've been walking around
with all this love,
trying to give it to someone.
Anyone but me.
It gets me
into trouble because
I think they love me back
in the same way,
but they don't.
I thought you was like me,
but you're not.
You're the opposite.
That's why we fit together.
You know,
you've got enough love
for the both of us.
It's perfect.
Is it?
Yeah.
Daniel, these look like
the old woman's.
Hmm?
Well, they're nothing.
They're...
They don't matter,
none of that matters.
They're for you.
Here.
See?
Perfect.
Meant to be.
I love you.
But I need to go
to the toilet first.
Oh, so you like Rob better now
he's sent you a dick pic?
Oh, fucking hell!
Women are so fucked up!
What?
That bitch landlady.
She fell.
I panicked.
When I came back to myself,
I realized that no one
had noticed she was gone.
No one cared.
And I could do this.
I kept her alive
for a while, online,
and then I let her go,
and then I moved on
to the next one.
You wanted to see
the places where I lived.
Well, here they are.
These are the only places
I've ever felt anything,
until you.
How many?
It doesn't matter.
None of that matters.
It's the truth, Lena.
Think about it.
Who would really care
if you were gone?
Cal.
He would.
You think?
His dad would tell him
you'd left.
That you deserved
everything you got.
And Cal?
Cal would have
to move on.
He'd have to look
after himself, or else...
Is that what happened to you?
I never wanted any of this.
I walked away.
You chose to come back.
What, what?
To save me?
We can save each other.
Then let me go.
I can't.
I can't, because you'll run
and I don't wanna hurt you.
Then don't, yeah?
Show me you've changed.
Trust me.
Oh, you fucking bitch!
Help!
Help!
Okay.
Okay.
Help!
No.
Oh.
Oh, my...
I'm so sorry.
I'm so sorry.
Oh...
Oh, my....
Oh, my...
Lena?
Lena, let me out!
Lena!
You're his home.
His mum.
I could be his dad.
Doors open.
Mummy!
Don't.
Look, please.
Let him go, yeah?
Have you seen
what you've done to me, Lena?
Mummy.
It's okay, baby.
I won't let him hurt you.
No, it's not okay!
People lie to you.
They hurt you.
It's not his fault.
All I did was try and love you.
Yeah, but this isn't love.
You don't understand, do you?
The things that
I've done for us.
This is Cal's place now.
Ours.
We can get away with anything.
Especially here.
Who knows what these people
get away with every day.
We can live here, together.
Happily ever after,
if you let us.
Can I come up?
Come on.
I'm sorry I hurt you.
I'll try to make it better,
but we have to do better, hmm?
We have to care.
Or else nothing
will ever change.
Thank you.
I didn't call them.
I wouldn't.
I don't want to lose him.
You won't.
We won't get away with this.
We shouldn't.
You should.
You never hurt anyone,
except for me.
Tell 'em it was me.
I did all this.
I don't understand.
You just came to pick up Cal
because he missed you.
He needs you.
He doesn't need Richard.
Richard will have
loads of enemies.
I was just another.
You don't even know me.
There's nothing
to connect us.
See?
I'm good at this.
So are you.
So go on.
What are you gonna say to them?
I don't know who he was.
I just came here
for Cal.
Perfect.
Meant to be.
I can take you home now.
We can stay here.
It's mine after all.
We'll see.
Am I human?
Yes, I am human
I'm fairly certain
I am mostly human
Then what are you?
What are you?
What are you?
What are you to do
the things that you do?
Ooh, ooh
Are you human?
Yes, you are human
I'm fairly certain
you are almost human
Then who am I,
who am I, who am I?
Who am I to say
eye for an eye, eye, eye
Are we human?
Yes, we are human
I'm fairly certain
we are mostly human
What we do,
what we do, what we do
Should always
make a change to be true?
Ooh, ooh
Excuse me
while I kiss the sky
Am I human?
Yes, I am human
I'm fairly certain
I am mostly human
