Two Weeks in August (2026) s01e06 Episode Script

1
Who are they?
The Moirai.
I've kind of been seeing them
around.
They send you signs
and you have to follow them.
I saw them together on the altar!
Are you implying that
my daughter?
Because that's just not on
More left.
Oh, yeah
CRUNCH
Oh, my God!
I think I hit him on purpose.
You wouldn't.
Why are you doing this?
Sometimes, it's like maybe something
just isn't quite right.
What's this?
This is my house!
Have you seen 500 euros at all?
It's gone missing from my room
and I wondered if you'd seen it.
Hiya, mate I just left Zoe.
Yeah, no. It's you I wanted
to talk to, actually.
I wanted to ask you something.
Mum?
Mum?
Mummy?
Mum?
Mum?
Mum?
What's going on? What's going on?
The bad thing's coming!
Oh What bad thing?
Don't pretend you don't know.
It's that bloody book.
WHISPERS: Hey, nothing bad
is coming.
It wants to eat my eyes! No,
nothing's going to eat your eyes.
Let me get you some water.
Come on
Hey, are we not going to talk?
Can we not do this now?
What bad things? Hey
What are you doing awake?
DOOR CREAKS
What's it doing up
at this time of night?
I don't know.
BLEATING
Weird.
Are you all right?
Um
Yeah?
Look, I'm really sorry for
I shouldn't have done that.
It's fine.
I was all over the place,
with the job and the accident
Don't be sorry.
Well
I hope you can forget about it.
Thing is
..I don't want to forget about it.
I'm glad you did.
Zoe, have you got water?
LIGHT SIZZLES, BLEATING
LATIN RELIGIOUS CHANTING
CHANTING CONTINUES
BREATHLESS PANTING
It's green.
It's blue, it's
..turquoisey blue
Filter's not working. It's full of
bacteria, OK? They can't swim in it.
What are the kids going to do all
day if they can't swim?
I'll take them to the beach later.
It's going to get really hot later,
and there's no shade down there!
No. That's not ours.
He can have it for a bit, can't he?
N
There you go, sweet.
So are you doing screen time now?
Yes. It's like what, 7am?!
Exactly! It's a
very, very long time till bedtime.
Yeah, yeah. I know it is!
Don't shout at me.
I'm not shouting!
SHE SCOFFS
Yeah, yeah,
you should be thanking me, actually.
Sorry?
I put the money back, Zoe.
Yeah. I borrowed it from Jacob.
I know you took the money
to buy that dress.
What money?
I didn't ask you to put back money
that I didn't even take.
I've just covered for you! OK?
Well, no, I did it for us, actually.
Yeah. For the family.
Yeah.
Spare us all the embarrassment.
The least you can do
is say thank you.
You want me to say thank you?
Yeah, thank you.
Hey
Still nothing coming
out of the shower.
No, man. Nothing's working.
No, no water, no power.
I'm going to go and get us
some more bottled water,
see if, er, the housekeeper can get
someone to sort it out.
Morning.
Hey Hey.
Trying to book a new flight
back in the morning,
if I could just get a reception.
Oh, God
Er, we're going home next week, no?
Yeah,
we're going to go back tomorrow now.
We haven't decided to do that.
It's going to be the hottest day
ever on record,
and there's no running water
or electricity!
Not the hottest day ever! It is.
It's the hottest day this year,
in Greece.
It's going to be a heatwave.
I mean that
That toilet is a health hazard.
We can't stay here.
It's my turn.
I thought we said no screens?
Hey
Morning. How'd you sleep?
I'm going to check to see
if there's a water tank
on the roof or something?
Yeah. I'll come with you.
Yeah
Er, no. You've got to pack.
KNOCK AT DOOR
I can't sleep out there.
Do you mind if I?
No. Bed's all yours now.
Oh, it's so hot, isn't it?
Yeah.
Sorry about you and Will.
Was it my fault that he dumped you?
No!
I hope I didn't put him off.
I feel like maybe
I wasn't that friendly.
I was a bit overprotective.
It was not your fault
I should have seen it coming.
You think I'd know by now!
He doesn't deserve you.
Hey, I couldn't Don't worry.
I don't want you to go.
I don't want to go either.
What are we doing?!
I think we just have to wait
and let this
We should trust it.
I feel likewe've waited
a really long time.
And it's like I can't wait any more.
You know?
BELL TOLLS
Are you OK? Yeah.
It's just so hot.
Oh, my God!
Why's he here? What does he want?
Fuck. Where's Avery?
I'll talk to him.
Are you OK? How's your head?
Uh Not so great.
Oh
Listen, I meant to say
..thank you for the other night.
It was just It was really
Oh, but I hope you don't feel
Cos I'm just not in a place where
I I lost my job.
Oh
What?
Why?
Vasiliki, she saw us, then
she told my boss, and he fired me.
SHE COUGHS
You Oh, my God.
I'm so sorry.
That's all right.
I didn't want to come,
but my brother told me I should
come, maybe you could help me.
Oh, of course. Erm
I I don't I don't have
any money on me right now.
No. No, no, no.
I ju
I just want to speak to Solomon.
Right.
I could, erm
could see what I can do.
Hey, do you know what's going
on with the water and the power?
Is Is it just us
or is it the whole island?
I I don't know.
Well, thank God they sent someone.
Erm
I don't know
I think that maybe this could be
the generator or something
There's like wires and stuff
in here
Oh, generator.
Yes. I don't
I don't knowit looks electric
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah OK
This is
He wants money, doesn't he?
I don't know.
Oh, God
What's he doing here?
He's just?
He's here to fix stuff, thank God.
He shouldn't be working out there
in this heat
with a serious head injury.
No, he really shouldn't.
He isn't. We didn't ask him to.
Guys
What's happened to his head?
I don't know. I've got no idea.
Looks like he's been in a fight
or something.
Yeah.
Does look a bit like that.
Yeah
MOURNFUL MUSIC
Sorry, I don't have any left.
You spent all that cash you got
out at the airport?
Holidays are expensive, aren't they?
It's a bit patronising just
to give him money. No, it isn't!
It's minimising it?
You know how much do you give
to someone you've?
As much as we can?
Yeah, but not so much you look
We look guilty.
Is he blackmailing you?
What? No! Why would you say that?
Yeah, I might have mentioned it.
Look, maybe you should buy him
a new bike?
So you're empowering him to work?
Haven't got enough money for a new
bike, because Jess lost it,
which is fucking great!
Do you think she's properly
looked for it, though?
Hey.
Oh, my God!
Look, so power's out
across the whole island.
OK, nothing's open.
It's, erm
It's Theotokos! Er, it's Festival
of the Madonna, apparently
Saw the housekeeper's husband.
The owner's bringing more water.
Er, but they, look
They sent someone, so
Your mum left a message.
She She wants you to call.
Yep.
Holy Moley, do not go outside!
HE EXHALES LOUDLY
How will the generator
help with the water?
It'll make the pump work.
Pump what? It's a drought.
He looks like he's going to sort it.
The drought?
I don't think he can fix
global warming.
Why the fuck are we staying in such
a primitive backwater
when it gets this hot?
It's not safe, especially with kids.
Are we sharing that out carefully?
You should drink if you're thirsty.
Obviously!
Don't know if it matters,
but I think that is the water
that I bought.
We had a kitty.
Did you call the ferry company?
I couldn't get through.
And I tried the little boat guy.
He said no ferry today.
No explanation.
And I can't rent one.
Because of my money being stolen.
I think we know by who
When was your money stolen?
We don't know that.
And apparently, there are no
cashpoints on the island
because it's basically 1920 here.
Which is why people like it.
It's charming.
Don't know why we thought it was
a good idea to come here.
CHATTER
Let them have a little moment.
What happened to your head?
Erm
I had an accident.
Was it Was it Was it the guy
with the gun at the party?
No, no.
No
Are you not going to talk to me
or?
Listen, I'm here for work, OK?
OK
What happened anyway?
Don't do that!
Is she OK?
Yeah.
It's just teenage stuff, isn't it?
She just needs to go home.
Hey, sorry.
I don't want you to feel bad, OK?
OK
You know if your dad is going to
come out soon?
Why? Erm
Maybe he can help me with something.
You came to see my dad.
You came to see my dad!
Wow! Classic.
Classic! Did you?
Did you want a selfie too?
I'm sure he'd love that.
MOURNFUL MUSIC
Hi, mate! Hi,
can you come in the shade?
You can't stay out there! Please?
Come on.
Yeah
Thanks.
Oh, hi. Hello.
Hi. Er, did you bring some bottled
water by any chance?
I do
I don't think anyone asked him to.
AlL right? You've come for a
I'm just
We
Yeah
Just
Yeah.
Have some water.
That's actually the last one
we have, but, yeah, never mind.
Sit down.
Just chill here for a bit.
Hello?
Oh! Oh, my God!
Oh, Jesus Christ!
Are you? What?
Are you OK?
Hi. Thanks so much.
Do you just want to?
Just pop it there, that is fine.
Sorry, is that all you have?
It will be enough,
if you do not waste.
It's very hot! Even for us!
Maybe the gods are angry!
NERVOUS LAUGHTER
I have to drop water at several
properties.
Sorry, hang on. You're
You're the owner? You're not poor.
Sorry? I thought you needed
the money for your old family!
I feel like I've been scammed!
Have I been scammed?
You bought a house.
You saw the house.
Well, you should give her
her money back. Not possible.
Listen, I work in human rights.
I can escalate this.
We shook hands.
Shaking hands isn't a thing! Is it?
It's a thing here.
Well, she shook hands under false
pretences! We'll see you in court.
You're going to find a lawyer,
do it. I have a good one.
What
What are you still doing here?
We asked him to come
to sort the water out.
SPEAKS IN OWN LANGUAGE
He's fired.
It doesn't matter though. We're
going to pay him and it's all good.
SPEAKS IN OWN LANGUAGE
CONTINUE CHATTING
You hit him with your car?
You hit him with your car?!
What?!
Avery, it's not quite
Look I'm sorry, what happened?
He didn't mean to.
So then why?
Solomon, what the fuck? You're lucky
I'm not calling the police.
Why Why would you do that?
Ah
You need to go.
We're saying he can stay.
And to be honest,
we've paid top rates
and this house is uninhabitable.
So maybe it's you who needs to go.
OK. OK.
Avery
Why would you do that?!
It was an accident.
An accident I was upset about
that someone would take
advantage of you in a public place.
Why didn't you tell me that it
was you that was with Jon?
I just want you to know that
you're worth more than that.
I'm going to give you some proper
time now, I promise.
And what
What are you planning to study?
I hope to do film. Great!
Yeah, well, I set up my own bike
business which was
a challenge Oh. ..but I'm
I'm glad I did it, really glad, in a
way Erm, it's just
It's just hard, you know, when
you're married with kids.
KIDS ARGUING OUTSIDE
Oh, the kids are losing it.
Oh, that's ours as well.
Sorry, erm
Have whatever you want there.
Guys, come on.
I can hear you all the way
You're married?
What?
You have kids?
It's really complicated.
It's not complicated.
You're married!
I just talked to your husband.
He's a nice guy.
SHE SCOFFS
He's actually not that nice.
Why did you do that with
a 20-year-old guy you just met?
I don't know!
Boys your age are not
something I think about in that way.
I don't have anything
to say to them.
It's not a thing
It's not a thing for you?
No! It is not a thing.
I don't need to explain myself
to you! It just happened!
And it's not going to happen again,
so!
SHE COUGHS
Oh
It's mine, give it back.
No, it's my turn OK, OK, OK,
guys, what's happening here?
The tablet's just died.
Eve, just give the tablet
back to Henry
But it's my turn!
I know it is
Come on, Henry, you need to share.
It's mine. She snatched it off me.
Eve, now, give it back.
Look at me, young lady.
Give it to me, please.
I got it. Now!
Eve, give it
Give it back!
Wait
Sorry, guys
Come on, Henry. It's all right.

Yeah. It's, er It's hot.
What are we going to do about?
Maybe have another
look for that money?
Are you sure it's not in your room?
DOOR OPENS
Hope you didn't apologise to him.
That's an admission of liability.
What are you looking for?
What are you looking?
Solomon, I've literally just
folded that, you've
Can you stop it?
I've just folded it.
You're You're
creasing everything.
Solomon, stop it!

No.
That is my fucking personal bag.
I told you, it wasn't stolen.
What? No. That can't be. No
Jess, why can't you admit you lost
it because you don't look after it?
What? You don't think about it.
I don't have any money.
Whoa
SHE SCREAMS
Oh, my God! Oh, my God.
It's a goat!
There's a goat in the house.
Why is there a goat in here?
It's the goat from the taxi

Thank you.
Don't worry, mate,
we're going to work this out, er
So just
Please just take this.
No. I didn't come here for
your money! Please!
I just wanted
a reference from you, OK?
I want to go to film
school in London.
And I just wanted a reference from
someone in the industry, that's it.
Because I'm Algerian, my name is not
Jon, my name is Junis.
And And it's hard for me
as an Algerian to do things.
It's hard for me to To travel,
it's hard for me to study!
It's hard for me to
I don't need all this drama!
I don't need it! Just
I'm
You are not good people!
Who does this shit
on a group holiday?
I mean, where do you start?
Getting off with your friend's wife
on the first night? Great idea!
Or running someone over
and then treating him like that.
Because he had sex
with your daughter.
Or you think he did
It's toxic patriarchy?
It's so shaming!
We don't shame, thank you.
No, we don't.
I'm very aware
of my privilege right now.
Hm, I am.
Aw Feels good, doesn't it?
Yeah. We deserve water!
We've paid our share!
And the fun tax,
for their fucking kids!
Oh, fuck, yes! Eurgh!
Thank God I have you.
No, thank God I have you.
Because I don't have anything else.
I think buying this house could be
a good thing, you know?
Mm. You're a homeowner,
for Christ's sake!
Whoever would have thought
that would happen? That's true.
You can do it up!
We can do it up together!
Yes!
Oh, and the fucking kitty!
Fuck the kitty!
EXHALES IN RELIEF
Do you like me?
Of course, I like you.
Do you like Zoe more than me?
Oh, for God's sake
Please, will you just be honest?
HE EXHALES
Is there something
that you want to say?
Is it work?
I mean, I know you really
wanted that job. Yeah.
It's hard to be rejected.
Mm.
I was thinking we could just
go down to the harbour now
and just try and get No.
We're not going home early.
That was
..a day. It was.
Oh
I'm happy to see you!
Avery's looking after the kids.
Apparently they're
putting on a show.
She's a good girl.
Are we really doing this?
Risking our friendship, everything?
It's not going to be easy.
Yeah.
But nothing worth doing ever is.
Which is a big fucker, right?
Yeah
That night,
when I climbed up the tree
and we watched the sun come up
Did you want to kiss me then?
Yes!
THEY LAUGH
Ah, you were drunk.
No, I wasn't that drunk.
I remember what you were wearing.
Yeah, right.
A blue cardigan.
Well done.
SHE LAUGHS
That was a really long time ago.
It was.
SHE WHISPERS: I don't remember
what you were wearing.
But I think it's always been you.
When old friends fall in love,
does it end well?
You tell me.
I don't know.
I feel likeI have to find out.
THEY CHUCKLE
Ladies and gentlemen!
Time for the show!
THEY APPLAUD AND CHEER
He's so going to be an actor.
Oh! Oh, I love the masks!
That's you, isn't it? Love it
We're going on holiday!
CHEERING
MUSIC PLAYS
Good to see you.
Good to see you, mate
That is so cool
WHOOPING
Go, Evie
I am getting drunk!
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
My mummy and daddy
are getting divorced!
MUSIC STOPS
APPLAUSE STARTS SLOWLY
DOOR SHUTS
What did you say to them?
I I didn't say anything. No.
OK, who did?
Who did? Someone has.
So
And it's not even true
OK? So, we
We're having, you know We're
having a bit of a tough time
Erm
Who
Who would say that to the kids?
My parents had a really
bad divorce,
that is not something I would ever
do. Me neither.
They probably just overheard
you guys talking.
No. We would never say
anything in front of them.
Kids listen to everything. Yeah,
you shouldn't ide things from them.
It's better to be honest
with your kids.
I am honest with my kids.
I agree.
It's good to tell the truth,
generally.
Stay out of it, you're not a parent.
OK, so what, if you don't have
kids then you don't have
a valid opinion on anything, is that
right? No.
That's worse! Having kids does not
make you better. OK?!
Definitely.
A lot of parents aren't good at it.
They put all of their issues
onto their kids.
Are you talking about me?
I think you've been quite selfish.
I'm being selfish?!
I'm not the one who brought a nanny!
You'd have a nanny in a heartbeat,
if you could afford one.
Oh, hey, stop, come on! You have
neglected the kids all week, Zoe.
And today with the screen time
We don't even have an iPad!
Why does he have two?!
What's that got to do with it?
Henry's actually really
good at sharing.
LAUGHTER
No, he isn't.
You, er
You did actually start
all the drama, Jess.
Sorry, Nat?
I'm not the one who upset
the housekeeper
and had some random curse
put on us all!
What are you talking about?
There's no shame in having
..relationships.
I would normally agree with that.
Oh, for fuck's sake.
Avery didn't have sex with that
boy in the chapel.
What do you mean?
I know she didn't.
Because I read her diary.
Sorry, what?
God Avery No.
Jess. Avery, I'm sorry.
I'm sorry. I was in your room,
and it was there.
How dare you read my diary?
I'm defending you!
Although there was a lot of stuff
in there
that wasn't very nice about me.
Oh, well, I meant it all!
You just weren't supposed to read
it! I'm trying to say
that you
didn't bang a random in a chapel!
Maybe I'm not such
a "selfish bitch"?!
I did, though, so
OK, how was it? What happened?
Oh, guys, leave it, come on.
Jess What happened?
It's all right
Because your whole diary
was about how he doesn't want you.
Ah, Jess All right, Jess! That's
enough. Look she said shame on us.
So it was one of us.
It was probably you that did it.
It wouldn't surprise me!
It's the type of thing you'd do!
Avery No, it wasn't,
thank you very much!
Because I was with your dad.
Jess, just stop!
Guys, it could be anyone.
Anyone on the whole island.
I'm just saying whoever
it was should fess up!
So that somebody else doesn't
always get the blame!
Back off! It wasn't me!
I was buying my new house!
Are you seriously not going
to say anything?!
LAUGHS: Oh, my God.
Was it you?
What?
SHE GAGS
SHE RETCHES
ZOE SPLUTTERS
ZOE COUGHS
Yes.
H-H-How could you do that?
Sorry.
And you let me think Avery had
Oh, for fuck's sake, Zoe!
Did you steal my money?
Hmm.
I knew I'd never
seen you in that dress.
No.
DOOR OPENS
DOOR BANGS SHU
INSECTS CHIRP
SHE GROANS
Oh, no!
Oh, no, no!
WAILS: No!
ZOE SOBS
Oh, my God.
What have you done now?
Leave me alone.
I really tried to
be your friend.
I don't know, you've changed.
You were always the nice one, you
know? You were the nice mum.
But I guess that wasn't enough.
You tried to be young and free
and sexy
and to make everyone fall in love
with you.
But you just look tragic.
How does it feelto be
the bad one?
JESS CRIES OU
What the hell are you doing?!
DAN: Hey! Hey! Leave it!
Zoe! Zoe! What the hell's going on?!
I fucking hate you!
Zoe!
JACOB: Oh, my God, stop it!
Stop this.
EVE: Mummy, don't.
Stop it! OK? OK, that's enough now.
That's it. Stop it.
Jesus! Oh, my God!
SHE SOBS AND WAILS
It fucking hurts!
Ow.
Oh, my God.
You leave today.
We've booked for the full two weeks.
No. No, no, no, no. You go today!
UNTRANSLATED
SHE SOBS
Come on.
It's OK, come on.
It's all right.
SOBBING CONTINUES
SOLOMON: It always feels worse than
it is.
WHIRRING
# I woke up one morning to know that
I had gone
# Finally taken the step
and jumped right off the wall
# When you come to call on me
that's why my eyes are glazed
# I've been with the devil
in the devil's resting place
# I am loath to say
that I have been to stay
# I've been with the devil
in the devil's resting place
# When you ask to drink of me
I think hard on the case
# Look down to my aloe cup
and take myself a taste
# Bitterness is thick like blood
# And cold as a wind sea breeze
# If you must drink of me,
take of me what you please
# I am loath to say
it's the devil's taste
# I've been with the devil
# In the devil's resting place. #
