Two Weeks in August (2026) s01e07 Episode Script
Episode 7
1
I think I've been here before.
And I think there's a reason
I came back here.
My mummy and daddy
are getting divorced!
You people have no shame.
I saw them together on the altar!
How How could you do that?
I can't wait any more.
It has to be now.
Why are you doing this?
It's like maybe something just
isn't quite right?
Sorry about you and Will.
Was it my fault that he dumped you?
What's this?
This is my house!
You can do it up! Oh!
WE can do it up.
You leave today!
We've booked for the full two weeks.
You go today!
SHE BREATHES UNEVENLY
All back to mine!
We are going to enjoy the rest
of our holiday.
Does your house have a pool?
It does not have a pool.
Does it have Wi-Fi?
It does not have Wi-Fi.
Must be somewhere else we can stay
on this island.
Oh, it's just for a night or two.
And, honestly,
it's going to be great.
We just need to find her.
She can't have gone far.
I thought she'd be back.
She didn't even take a bag.
It's fine!
It's only been, like, three,
four hours.
Maybe she went to, you know
QUIETLY: ..to see him?
Of course she didn't.
Of all the things she's done,
what do we think is worse?
I don't know.
Obviously, doing that with
a teenager is absolutely shocking.
It's a betrayal on a million levels.
God knows what Dan is going through.
I mean, I just could never
do something like that.
I mean, how she could
It still really hurts.
Everything's blurry.
I just really hope there's
no permanent damage.
Yeah, maybe don't touch it.
But stealing from your friends
Nat, that's really
disturbing behaviour.
We don't know that she did that.
Seriously, Nat?
I'm worried about her.
It's really, really hot,
and she doesn't have any water.
So we need to find her.
Yeah. Totally.
Shit.
I don't have a key.
Don't panic.
This is a challenging situation -
but I rise to them.
I've restructured entire
HR departments.
I got this!
DOOR THUDS
Ugh!
Yay!
In you go.
Make yourselves at home.
I'm going to go and get the others
and see if I can spot Zoe.
MUSIC PLAYS ON RADIO
Poke its eye.
Oh, no, no. No, Eve.
Eve, don't touch it.
Thanks.
Jacob.
Did she come back?
No.
OK, come on, guys. Let's go.
Oh, wow!
Yeah. It's all ours.
Oh, it's It's so
..old.
And fantastic! Yes.
This is Auntie Nat and Uncle Jacob's
holiday home!
Look! Just a bit of decoration.
Aw! God, yeah.
Yeah, we'll super-host the shit out
of it.
Oh, don't touch that.
You'll be with Mummy soon.
She's just gone on a lovely walk.
Auntie Nat's going to go to get her.
You OK to watch them?
Yeah, yeah.
Is it dead?
Oh, no, don't touch that one either.
Yeah, it's definitely dead.
Yeah, can you Just don't touch
any more dead things today?
OK?
Can't believe that guy rented us
this fucking car.
It's very old.
It's a broken piece of shit!
You think we have to get it
all the way to the harbour?
No, I can't leave it here.
He'll probably try and charge me.
Well, you can forget about
the insurance.
Think you've probably already lost
your excess there, man.
How are you doing?
You know, you must be
feeling pretty
Oh, you don't have to do that.
Do what?
Dude, you don't give a shit
about me.
HANDBRAKE CLICKS
What are you talking about?
Like, just be honest.
I don't want to make a big deal
of it,
but I didn't really see you at all
last year.
I didn't know how bad it was.
It's all right.
Look, I understand, you know.
It's not like I was a great friend
to you either.
I mean, I don't think I was around
when you got divorced, was I?
I can't remember the last time
we just met up, like, on our own.
And I'm sorry about what happened
before No, don't Don't worry.
I'm sorry about what happened to
YOU. Well, it's not your fault.
No.
If it's anyone's fault,
it's Zoe's, really, isn't it?
Yeah.
Ah, hello.
I'm just checking.
What, is that Zoe's?
I don't really think we should be
going through her things.
Yeah, but we need to know what
she's taken with her, don't we?
I mean, I can't find her phone here.
Dan's got her phone.
VEHICLE APPROACHES
Nat's back.
Jacob, look who I found on the side
of the road
like a bag full of puppies.
I couldn't leave them.
Hey. Hey.
There were no boats.
Yeah, she basically saved our lives.
We're totally exhausted
and starving to death, aren't we?
Well, we don't really have much
here, I'm afraid. Do we?
I'm going to go get supplies.
Er, nothing's open at lunchtime.
Listen, I can always finds an offie,
day or night.
Right?
Yeah. I'll come with you. OK.
Bit awkward.
I just don't understand why you had
to bring them back.
I'm really sorry. I just
Why are you trying to have
a party now?
I'm not. It's an emergency
situation, we have a missing friend.
We do. But I still don't really get
why No, I get it.
The last thing you want is to see
the guy that just dumped you.
Well, yeah.
It's kind of shit for me,
if I'm honest.
It's really painful, I can see that,
and it breaks my heart.
You're feeling vulnerable again.
Oh It's like a flashback.
We've been here before,
many, many times.
Exactly, we have.
And that's, you know, really hard.
I didn't want any of this to happen.
I don't want any more drama!
Oh
God, air-con! Oh, no, no
Come on. No.
This is my chosen family.
And I feel like my chosen family
is falling apart.
And I don't want anyone to break up.
Of course you don't.
I just want to bring us all back
together, you know?
That's all I want.
I know it is.
That's That's who you are.
It's one of the million reasons
why I love you so much.
I love you so much.
I don't know what I'd do
without you.
I honestly don't know what I'd do
without you, either.
ENGINE TURNS OVER
DAN GRUNTS
Argh!
HANDBRAKE CLICKS
Are you?
I sort of, erm
..feel a little bit messed up,
to be honest.
Yeah, I'm sure. Yeah, I feel
Yeah, I feel pretty
..strange.
Yeah?
Where Where has she gone?
Is Is she coming back?
A lot of questions. Erm
What What am I supposed
to do now?
She said she didn't want to be
with me any more.
But I I didn't believe her.
And I'm starting to wonder, did I
Did I actually know her at all?
Look, don't blame yourself.
Why not?
In a way?
Because she's the one who
People do weird stuff, don't they?
I know all that.
So
She must be very unhappy
to have done that.
And she must be unhappy
for a reason.
I'm I'm sure I'm part of that.
DAN EXHALES
Maybe I've been holding on too tight
to something that was already over?
VEHICLE APPROACHES
Hi.
Have you seen Zoe? No.
We haven't got very far.
Cos of this piece of shit!
Get in.
I'll grab the keys.
ZOE BREATHES SHALLOWLY
Do you have any jump leads at all?
Cos, otherwise, he gets charged,
and he's an out-of-work actor, so
I'm sorry.
I don't think it is possible
for today.
And we need somedrinks,
and food as well.
Bread, cheese, beers.
Cold, if you've got them,
but warm is fine.
Yeah.
You seeI have a problem.
OK.
Well, how can we help you with that?
You have made things very difficult
for me.
Vasiliki has worked for me
many years.
She's a good woman.
She's not happy.
Yeah, we feelreally bad
about that. Terrible, yeah.
I have to fire my worker.
He has no work,
and I have no worker.
We're really, really sorry,
really sorry for your trouble. Yeah.
It is very
..very, very disrespectful. Mmm.
What our friend did was misjudged,
and I'm sure she knows that now.
I don't think she'd do it again. No.
But we are not responsible for her.
The sins of the woman
should not be visited
on the friends and family
of the woman
..when they need supplies.
Hey, you're a decent guy.
We're friends, neighbours,
business partners.
You took her money for a house,
which is a total wreck.
It's not shabby chic. It's a dump.
You took advantage of someone
who's VERY trusting.
Can be too trusting.
Shit. Oh, OK.
OK, no worries if you're not happy
to help us.
Efharisto for your famous
Greek hospitality.
Yeah, efharisto for nothing!
DOOR SLAMS
For the kids.
Oh. Great.
How much do we owe?
It's on the house.
Oh, thank you so much.
Do you have a phone charger at all?
This is great.
Thank you. Thank you so much.
Efharisto. We're really grateful.
Great. Efharisto.
Keep drinking, darling.
What were you thinking,
coming out here all alone
without anything, even water?
I've got nowhere else to go.
I've ruined everything.
Everyone hates me.
Oh, for goodness' sake.
No, I just
I've been really bad.
I'm sure it's nowhere near as bad
as I've been.
I've been terrible.
You told me
..to follow the signs.
You You told me to let the fates
lead me.
Oh, I heard about
Yiannis' little odd job boy.
He's gorgeous. How was it?
It wasn't worth it!
And he wasn't even the one I wanted
to leave my husband for.
Oh, you wanted the one with the eyes
you can drown in.
Yeah, you told me he was my fate!
I definitely wouldn't have said
your fate was a particular man.
I had an actual fight!
In front of my children.
I punched someone in the face!
Yeah, no, I saw rage in your eyes
when we first met.
Eventually, that does come out.
In front of my children!
They're scared of me!
Are you happy now?
You opened your box,
like a naughty little Pandora.
Have a swig of this.
It's mainly tonic.
Oh
I always knew it wouldn't end well.
But I didn't think
I'd lose everything.
Oh
Darling, it's going to be all right.
Aw.
I know what to do.
Look where you are.
We're at the bloody temple, darling.
Oh, thank God.
Henry! Food's here!
Did you get any beers? No.
Did you get stuff to make a negroni?
I did not.
Is she back yet?
No.
I'm starving! Hey.
SIREN CHIRPS
Jesus Christ.
Oh, shit!
Come.
Hello. How are you?
I'm well, thank you.
How are you?
Good, good, good, yeah.
I didn't realise
you were a policeman.
Yes. Have you seen our friend, Zoe,
at all?
No. You're looking for your friend?
She went missing this morning,
and we're trying to establish
if it's an actual emergency or not.
Well, please, let me know
if it is an emergency.
I I think we should go
and look for her now. Yeah.
Yeah, I'm just going to talk
to Avery.
LOCAL SPEEKS GREEK
Erm
I'm here because we're looking
for three youths.
Right.
They took a boat belonging to
my friend, Ares, here.
I remember Ares. Yeah, hi, hi.
They broke my boat.
Oh, dear.
Erm, should?
Yeah, please. Yeah, yeah.
Do you Do you want to come in?
Yeah. Yeah. OK.
Will!
Dash! Mickey!
Can you come down here, please?
ARES CLEARS THROA
Will! Can you come down here,
please?
This police officer would like
to speak to you!
FOOTSTEPS APPROACH
You thought you could steal my boat
and get away with it?
Huh?
HE SHOUTS ANGRILY
Ares, Ares OK.
Hey, this is my house.
Keep it chill.
I'm sorry. Yes.
Oh, hi.
Er
I remember you.
You're a policeman?
Yes. That
That's hilarious.
You took a boat from the harbour.
I can't believe you're a policeman.
Erm
You took a boat without paying
for it, and then broke the engine?
Erm I I can't
I can't remember.
ARES: You can't remember?
Ares, please.
HE SPEAKS GREEK
You can't remember?
Well, we did We
We did go in a boat,
but I thought we'd paid for it.
Really?
You think you paid for it?
You broke the engine,
and then you abandoned the boat.
Er
Is that right?
Yeah, sorry, I can't believe
that we had
Yes.
I had a good time. I hope you did.
Oh.
But right now, I'm here in my role
as law enforcement.
What the hell were you doing?
MUFFLED GIGGLING
So
..how are we going to resolve this?
Guys! Can you come down here,
please!
Come down! Ares, Ares
Stop it!
ARES SPEAKS GREEK
All right, take a breath. Ares.
OK.
We're going to ask the Fates.
What?
We're going to do a little ritual.
This is the temple of the Moirai,
sweetheart.
We'll do it together, don't worry.
I come here every week,
and it's got me through a lot of
difficult moments in my life.
I don't want to play any more games.
This isn't a game.
You were drawn back here
for a reason.
You are connected to an ancient,
mysterious universe.
The gods have been trying to
tell you something.
All you have to do
is listen to them.
The answers you seek are here,
I promise you.
But none of the things
I've been seeing are real.
How do you know they're not real?
Well, they're from my head,
they're from a book.
Humans know nothing about
anything, darling.
Real transformation can only happen
when you engage with what is beyond.
Why wouldn't you want
ancient guidance
from those who've gone before?
Why believe me?
Why not?
What's that?
It's bay laurel, darling.
It helps me get into the zone.
I'm going to channel the Moirai.
You should make an offering now.
Oh, what What kind of thing?
Traditionally, a goat.
A pregnant goat, ideally.
But not essential.
The goat's already dead.
Good!
You have a question for them?
Oh, what, just like?
A question.
Erm, what What sort of thing?
Well, you know why you came here.
You know what you want to ask,
so ask it.
Close your eyes.
ZOE INHALES
Yeah, don't say it out loud!
Just keep it to yourself,
or it won't come true.
Beneath this temple is
an even more ancient site,
a sacred source
..the cave of Gaia.
We must drink from her waters.
If you want this to work,
you must commit to it.
You must offer yourself up to her.
Her menstrual blood.
The source of all life.
No. Have more.
She wants you to have more.
I think I've had enough now.
I'm full, thank you.
Can you feel her power?
Can you feel it filling you?
Now feed it to me.
Pour it into my mouth.
FLICK VOCALISES MELODICALLY
SHE VOCALISES LOUDER
What are they saying?
Gnothi seauton.
Sorry?
Gnothi seauton.
FLICK INHALES SHARPLY
Gnothi seauton.
Gnothiseaut
HOARSELY: Gnothi seauton!
Gnothi seauton!
Gnothi seauton! Gnothi seauton!
What does that mean?
I don't speak Greek.
Gnothi! What?
No, this is This is madness!
No!
You can't just walk away,
not now we've evoked her!
You'll anger the Fates!
It's not real! You're insane!
This isn't real!
FLICK VOCALISES
You're going to have to pay for
the boat.
I mean, I don't actually have
anything right now.
I'm I'm still a student.
I'm on a debt repayment scheme.
God.
Look, I can pay.
No. No way.
I don't want you to pay for me.
Why not? You didn't seem
to mind before.
I don't want you to.
Well, what else are you going to do?
You're not my dad.
I have an actual dad.
I'm afraid they will have
to stay here
until a suitable arrangement
is made.
Well, it's not our problem.
Will you pay for them?
Yeah, yeah. Good.
That's a nice thing to do.
Well, you know, he's a friend.
It's what you do.
How much do you need?
THEY SPEAK GREEK
8,000.
8,000?!
Yeah.
Well, I don't
I don't have that kind of money!
You have to pay for my boat!
Whoa!
All right. Yeah, OK, I can see that
you're quite agitated.
What shall we do?
I don't know what we do.
Erm
What about your watch?
My watch?! No. What? Shut up!
No. YOU shut up!
How much?
It's priceless, to me.
It was a present for my 30th.
All my family clubbed up.
You what?
They They clubbed up. They
For his 30th birthday.
How much is it worth?
No, no, absolutely not. No.
ARES: Yes. Absolutely, yes.
It's Omega.
300m water resistant.
Like, 5,000, 6,000K?
It's good.
OK.
No-one should own a watch
that costs that much, anyway.
It's immoral, really Sh!
I'm not rich!
I work for a charity!
You're not taking his watch.
Sorry.
Oh, no, no, don't
Don't worry at all.
Is there anything else you'd like?
Shirt off my back?
It cost £3.
Second-hand.
Come on.
Hi.
Is the temple over that way?
Yeah.
Are you on your own?
Yeah.
I mean, no.
Everyone else is
Sorry, I've just had a bit of
a weird day.
Oh.
Well, it's nice to have
a bit of time to yourself.
Yeah.
I said it was the wrong time
to come here, Greece.
It's too hot.
My husband didn't listen.
Oh.
Are you having a nice time?
Yeah. We are, yeah. Good.
I keep telling her, you know,
we're very lucky to be in Greece.
I didn't get to go abroad
until I was 25.
Zoe!
Don't run off, please, Zoe!
Are you happy?
Sorry?
Were you happy when you came here?
I don't know.
I always think holidays
will make everything better.
But it's still you, isn't it?
Yeah.
My husband wants to go
to some old ruins,
tell us the Greek myths
for the millionth time.
The kids just want to go to
the beach, don't they?
What do you want to do?
I've got no idea.
I'm just getting on with it.
That's what you do.
I've always known
it wouldn't end well.
Why'd you say that?
I just know it.
Does that sound silly?
No.
We've had so many rows this holiday.
I looked at him last night,
and I thought,
"I don't like you very much."
The main thing is we're together.
That's what's good for the kids,
isn't it?
It's not about me.
I do love you very much.
I know.
Have a lovely holiday.
The note's still here.
She's not going to know how to get
to Nat's house now, is she?
It's all locked up.
We should just go to Portugal
next year.
It's nice to have some time,
just us.
Mmm.
I don'treally feel like
we've been communicating that well.
We do have a lot on.
We have a very bright little boy,
who's been let down by
the school system.
We can't seem to find a good nanny
for love nor money.
Avery's quite needy at the moment.
I know that's about her mum -
but it is a lot.
And that's all without our friends
melting down around us.
OK.
I've got something to tell you.
I found the money
..in Zoe's bag.
I mean, the rest of it,
minus what she spent on herself.
It proves she stole it.
What the fuck? I know.
Why would you care about the money?
It's just money.
She's out there somewhere in danger!
God, I'm so sick of being
the bad guy!
It's It's not fair,
and it's really hurtful, Solomon.
Let's just find her.
OK, well, we'll be home soon,
and she'll just be one of
those friends that we never see.

# Somewhere deep inside
# Something's got a hold on you
# And it's pushing me aside
# See it stretch on forever
# And I know I'm right
# For the first time in my life
# That's why I tell you
# You'd better be home soon. #
You'reactually really good.
Thank you.
What are you drinking?
Oh, we found some stuff
in that old drinks cabinet.
Hmm.
It actually tastes like a negroni.
I just
..wanted to say sorry
for all that stuff earlier.
Bringing it into your house.
It's OK.
I think Jacob's really pissed off
with me.
Look, you're 23. I get it.
It's just, he's quite vulnerable
at the moment.
I think he's still hurting
from everything that happened.
Sorry, what What do you mean?
Well, I just think he's feeling
a bit used?
It's not the first time
it's happened.
He's got major abandonment issues.
Well, he broke up with me,
so I don't know what that's about.
What?
VEHICLE APPROACHES
I do not understand why.
I
..thought he liked me.
CAR DOORS SHU
I really liked him, so
We've looked everywhere.
So, I'm assuming she's safe and
just hasn't bothered to let us know,
which is a shame.
It's getting
It's getting quite late.
Should we go look for her again?
Oh, it's not late.
Late is when it gets dark.
She's probably just in a taverna,
having a souvlaki.
# And you know I'm right #
Sorry. Actually, no.
Sorry.
I'll make you a negroni.
I don't want a negroni.
I'd like a negroni.
Yeah! Yes!
Well, I don't know
quite what's going on with everyone.
But I'm going to go out
and look for her again.
Or you could, if you want to?
I think she'll be back
when she wants to be.
You think?
Yeah, I don't think she cares about
anyone else at the moment.
You know, she's on her own journey,
which is
SIGHING: It is what it is, you know.
See, it kind of sounds like
you're giving up a bit.
I'm looking after the children.
And that's all I can do, really.
You don't give up on someone
you love just because they've done
something selfish and done lots of
awful things.
You CAN love someone,
even if they treat you badly.
You take them back,
and you make it work.
Yeah, I think that's
an abusive relationship?
You hold on to things
when you have history with someone.
You don't just let them go.
I don't want you to be on your own.
Would that be so bad?
Yes!
We all need someone.
Do you know what it was like
when everyone went off and had kids,
and I was still single?
Have you ever tried to fill
a weekend when everyone you know
is at soft play?
Yeah, but you've got Jacob, though,
haven't you?
Yeah, you're a tight little team.
Each other's rocks, all that.
You've got the perfect little
marriage, really. Yeah
Nothing's breaking that one up.
So, I think you can
..relax.
Don't play the victim, Daniel.
Nothing's inevitable.
Sometimes you have to step up
and fight for what you believe in.
Because no-one is going to do it
for you.
I'm going to get them to bed,
and then, erm
Yeah.
Yeah
JACOB: He is such a twat.
He's chugging his way through
all your booze.
After you save him
and his dickhead friends' lives!
You were right, he's a scrounger.
Can you believe he took
my birthday watch?
Why didn't you tell me what happened
with him?
What?
That you dumped him.
I didn't.
He told me that he really liked you,
and I believed him.
I actually think he's really
..nice.
Why did you do that?
For fuck's sake.
I pulled the tour guide, obviously.
Then the food poisoning kicks in.
No!
And this was all three of
We were all separately, like
And they didn't make it back
in the tuk-tuk.
No! It was too quick.
Too immediate. Disgusting! No!
It was a It was
a horrible moment.
Yeah, not proud of it.
And they're, like, all cycling away.
Still came back
What are you doing?
She's just having a sundowner.
I don't think she is.
Oh, come on.
It's really hard being young
right now,
and being a teenager's even worse.
Let her have a drink.
It's not easy being in your 40s
either, love.
Seriously?
Well, do you know, we
We won't get interesting jobs,
because AI will be doing them all.
Mmm.
We'll never own property.
Oh, and the world is dying.
So, we'll have to live underground,
or in a big plastic bubble
on another planet by the time
we're your age.
Great.
And people wonder why we're anxious.
I mean!
Do you know what? To being young
at the end of the world!
To being young. Being young.
Young.
Sorry. Cheers.
No. Oh
No.
Solomon!
Oh, Avery Avery
You need to relax.
Come on.
Let's play backgammon.
Really?
Now?
Yeah.
I can teach you.
Come on.
FOOTSTEPS APPROACH
Avery, I'm sorry.
OK.
Thanks.
Thanks so Thanks so much
for that.
Avery!
SOLOMON SIGHS
She's back.
You let me think my daughter!
I ran someone over, for God's sake!
I don't actually think
that's my fault.
I'm supposed to be responsible
for her!
I know I should apologise to you,
too, but I'm not going to.
I can't go on being the same,
or I'll turn into my mum.
I can't believe you did that.
I
I thought I knew you.
Well, you didn't.
You only knew the nice one,
your nice old friend
who's always there for you.
I've been being nice
since I was born.
No-one EVER asks if I'm all right!
I lost myself.
But I've found myself a bit.
And what I've found
isn't all that nice!
It's much more Greek than that!
Look at me!
Some of me wants things
I shouldn't want.
I have desires that scare me!
I want to be wanted.
I want some attention!
There we are!
But now I've opened my box,
like Pandora did,
and I'm showing it to you.
And no-one can judge me for it,
because that's what's there.
And do you know what Pandora left
at the bottom of the box?
I remember now. It's hope.
I think I'm meant to be happy
..and I thought I might be happy
with you.

# That's why I tell you

# Soon. #
I think I've been here before.
And I think there's a reason
I came back here.
My mummy and daddy
are getting divorced!
You people have no shame.
I saw them together on the altar!
How How could you do that?
I can't wait any more.
It has to be now.
Why are you doing this?
It's like maybe something just
isn't quite right?
Sorry about you and Will.
Was it my fault that he dumped you?
What's this?
This is my house!
You can do it up! Oh!
WE can do it up.
You leave today!
We've booked for the full two weeks.
You go today!
SHE BREATHES UNEVENLY
All back to mine!
We are going to enjoy the rest
of our holiday.
Does your house have a pool?
It does not have a pool.
Does it have Wi-Fi?
It does not have Wi-Fi.
Must be somewhere else we can stay
on this island.
Oh, it's just for a night or two.
And, honestly,
it's going to be great.
We just need to find her.
She can't have gone far.
I thought she'd be back.
She didn't even take a bag.
It's fine!
It's only been, like, three,
four hours.
Maybe she went to, you know
QUIETLY: ..to see him?
Of course she didn't.
Of all the things she's done,
what do we think is worse?
I don't know.
Obviously, doing that with
a teenager is absolutely shocking.
It's a betrayal on a million levels.
God knows what Dan is going through.
I mean, I just could never
do something like that.
I mean, how she could
It still really hurts.
Everything's blurry.
I just really hope there's
no permanent damage.
Yeah, maybe don't touch it.
But stealing from your friends
Nat, that's really
disturbing behaviour.
We don't know that she did that.
Seriously, Nat?
I'm worried about her.
It's really, really hot,
and she doesn't have any water.
So we need to find her.
Yeah. Totally.
Shit.
I don't have a key.
Don't panic.
This is a challenging situation -
but I rise to them.
I've restructured entire
HR departments.
I got this!
DOOR THUDS
Ugh!
Yay!
In you go.
Make yourselves at home.
I'm going to go and get the others
and see if I can spot Zoe.
MUSIC PLAYS ON RADIO
Poke its eye.
Oh, no, no. No, Eve.
Eve, don't touch it.
Thanks.
Jacob.
Did she come back?
No.
OK, come on, guys. Let's go.
Oh, wow!
Yeah. It's all ours.
Oh, it's It's so
..old.
And fantastic! Yes.
This is Auntie Nat and Uncle Jacob's
holiday home!
Look! Just a bit of decoration.
Aw! God, yeah.
Yeah, we'll super-host the shit out
of it.
Oh, don't touch that.
You'll be with Mummy soon.
She's just gone on a lovely walk.
Auntie Nat's going to go to get her.
You OK to watch them?
Yeah, yeah.
Is it dead?
Oh, no, don't touch that one either.
Yeah, it's definitely dead.
Yeah, can you Just don't touch
any more dead things today?
OK?
Can't believe that guy rented us
this fucking car.
It's very old.
It's a broken piece of shit!
You think we have to get it
all the way to the harbour?
No, I can't leave it here.
He'll probably try and charge me.
Well, you can forget about
the insurance.
Think you've probably already lost
your excess there, man.
How are you doing?
You know, you must be
feeling pretty
Oh, you don't have to do that.
Do what?
Dude, you don't give a shit
about me.
HANDBRAKE CLICKS
What are you talking about?
Like, just be honest.
I don't want to make a big deal
of it,
but I didn't really see you at all
last year.
I didn't know how bad it was.
It's all right.
Look, I understand, you know.
It's not like I was a great friend
to you either.
I mean, I don't think I was around
when you got divorced, was I?
I can't remember the last time
we just met up, like, on our own.
And I'm sorry about what happened
before No, don't Don't worry.
I'm sorry about what happened to
YOU. Well, it's not your fault.
No.
If it's anyone's fault,
it's Zoe's, really, isn't it?
Yeah.
Ah, hello.
I'm just checking.
What, is that Zoe's?
I don't really think we should be
going through her things.
Yeah, but we need to know what
she's taken with her, don't we?
I mean, I can't find her phone here.
Dan's got her phone.
VEHICLE APPROACHES
Nat's back.
Jacob, look who I found on the side
of the road
like a bag full of puppies.
I couldn't leave them.
Hey. Hey.
There were no boats.
Yeah, she basically saved our lives.
We're totally exhausted
and starving to death, aren't we?
Well, we don't really have much
here, I'm afraid. Do we?
I'm going to go get supplies.
Er, nothing's open at lunchtime.
Listen, I can always finds an offie,
day or night.
Right?
Yeah. I'll come with you. OK.
Bit awkward.
I just don't understand why you had
to bring them back.
I'm really sorry. I just
Why are you trying to have
a party now?
I'm not. It's an emergency
situation, we have a missing friend.
We do. But I still don't really get
why No, I get it.
The last thing you want is to see
the guy that just dumped you.
Well, yeah.
It's kind of shit for me,
if I'm honest.
It's really painful, I can see that,
and it breaks my heart.
You're feeling vulnerable again.
Oh It's like a flashback.
We've been here before,
many, many times.
Exactly, we have.
And that's, you know, really hard.
I didn't want any of this to happen.
I don't want any more drama!
Oh
God, air-con! Oh, no, no
Come on. No.
This is my chosen family.
And I feel like my chosen family
is falling apart.
And I don't want anyone to break up.
Of course you don't.
I just want to bring us all back
together, you know?
That's all I want.
I know it is.
That's That's who you are.
It's one of the million reasons
why I love you so much.
I love you so much.
I don't know what I'd do
without you.
I honestly don't know what I'd do
without you, either.

Are you?
I sort of, erm
..feel a little bit messed up,
to be honest.
Yeah, I'm sure. Yeah, I feel
Yeah, I feel pretty
..strange.
Yeah?
Where Where has she gone?
Is Is she coming back?
A lot of questions. Erm
What What am I supposed
to do now?
She said she didn't want to be
with me any more.
But I I didn't believe her.
And I'm starting to wonder, did I
Did I actually know her at all?
Look, don't blame yourself.
Why not?
In a way?
Because she's the one who
People do weird stuff, don't they?
I know all that.
So
She must be very unhappy
to have done that.
And she must be unhappy
for a reason.
I'm I'm sure I'm part of that.
DAN EXHALES
Maybe I've been holding on too tight
to something that was already over?
VEHICLE APPROACHES
Hi.
Have you seen Zoe? No.
We haven't got very far.
Cos of this piece of shit!
Get in.
I'll grab the keys.
ZOE BREATHES SHALLOWLY
Do you have any jump leads at all?
Cos, otherwise, he gets charged,
and he's an out-of-work actor, so
I'm sorry.
I don't think it is possible
for today.
And we need somedrinks,
and food as well.
Bread, cheese, beers.
Cold, if you've got them,
but warm is fine.
Yeah.
You seeI have a problem.
OK.
Well, how can we help you with that?
You have made things very difficult
for me.
Vasiliki has worked for me
many years.
She's a good woman.
She's not happy.
Yeah, we feelreally bad
about that. Terrible, yeah.
I have to fire my worker.
He has no work,
and I have no worker.
We're really, really sorry,
really sorry for your trouble. Yeah.
It is very
..very, very disrespectful. Mmm.
What our friend did was misjudged,
and I'm sure she knows that now.
I don't think she'd do it again. No.
But we are not responsible for her.
The sins of the woman
should not be visited
on the friends and family
of the woman
..when they need supplies.
Hey, you're a decent guy.
We're friends, neighbours,
business partners.
You took her money for a house,
which is a total wreck.
It's not shabby chic. It's a dump.
You took advantage of someone
who's VERY trusting.
Can be too trusting.
Shit. Oh, OK.
OK, no worries if you're not happy
to help us.
Efharisto for your famous
Greek hospitality.
Yeah, efharisto for nothing!
DOOR SLAMS
For the kids.
Oh. Great.
How much do we owe?
It's on the house.
Oh, thank you so much.
Do you have a phone charger at all?
This is great.
Thank you. Thank you so much.
Efharisto. We're really grateful.
Great. Efharisto.
Keep drinking, darling.
What were you thinking,
coming out here all alone
without anything, even water?
I've got nowhere else to go.
I've ruined everything.
Everyone hates me.
Oh, for goodness' sake.
No, I just
I've been really bad.
I'm sure it's nowhere near as bad
as I've been.
I've been terrible.
You told me
..to follow the signs.
You You told me to let the fates
lead me.
Oh, I heard about
Yiannis' little odd job boy.
He's gorgeous. How was it?
It wasn't worth it!
And he wasn't even the one I wanted
to leave my husband for.
Oh, you wanted the one with the eyes
you can drown in.
Yeah, you told me he was my fate!
I definitely wouldn't have said
your fate was a particular man.
I had an actual fight!
In front of my children.
I punched someone in the face!
Yeah, no, I saw rage in your eyes
when we first met.
Eventually, that does come out.
In front of my children!
They're scared of me!
Are you happy now?
You opened your box,
like a naughty little Pandora.
Have a swig of this.
It's mainly tonic.
Oh
I always knew it wouldn't end well.
But I didn't think
I'd lose everything.
Oh
Darling, it's going to be all right.
Aw.
I know what to do.
Look where you are.
We're at the bloody temple, darling.
Oh, thank God.
Henry! Food's here!
Did you get any beers? No.
Did you get stuff to make a negroni?
I did not.
Is she back yet?
No.
I'm starving! Hey.
SIREN CHIRPS
Jesus Christ.
Oh, shit!
Come.
Hello. How are you?
I'm well, thank you.
How are you?
Good, good, good, yeah.
I didn't realise
you were a policeman.
Yes. Have you seen our friend, Zoe,
at all?
No. You're looking for your friend?
She went missing this morning,
and we're trying to establish
if it's an actual emergency or not.
Well, please, let me know
if it is an emergency.
I I think we should go
and look for her now. Yeah.
Yeah, I'm just going to talk
to Avery.
LOCAL SPEEKS GREEK
Erm
I'm here because we're looking
for three youths.
Right.
They took a boat belonging to
my friend, Ares, here.
I remember Ares. Yeah, hi, hi.
They broke my boat.
Oh, dear.
Erm, should?
Yeah, please. Yeah, yeah.
Do you Do you want to come in?
Yeah. Yeah. OK.
Will!
Dash! Mickey!
Can you come down here, please?
ARES CLEARS THROA
Will! Can you come down here,
please?
This police officer would like
to speak to you!
FOOTSTEPS APPROACH
You thought you could steal my boat
and get away with it?
Huh?
HE SHOUTS ANGRILY
Ares, Ares OK.
Hey, this is my house.
Keep it chill.
I'm sorry. Yes.
Oh, hi.
Er
I remember you.
You're a policeman?
Yes. That
That's hilarious.
You took a boat from the harbour.
I can't believe you're a policeman.
Erm
You took a boat without paying
for it, and then broke the engine?
Erm I I can't
I can't remember.
ARES: You can't remember?
Ares, please.
HE SPEAKS GREEK
You can't remember?
Well, we did We
We did go in a boat,
but I thought we'd paid for it.
Really?
You think you paid for it?
You broke the engine,
and then you abandoned the boat.
Er
Is that right?
Yeah, sorry, I can't believe
that we had
Yes.
I had a good time. I hope you did.
Oh.
But right now, I'm here in my role
as law enforcement.
What the hell were you doing?
MUFFLED GIGGLING
So
..how are we going to resolve this?
Guys! Can you come down here,
please!
Come down! Ares, Ares
Stop it!
ARES SPEAKS GREEK
All right, take a breath. Ares.
OK.
We're going to ask the Fates.
What?
We're going to do a little ritual.
This is the temple of the Moirai,
sweetheart.
We'll do it together, don't worry.
I come here every week,
and it's got me through a lot of
difficult moments in my life.
I don't want to play any more games.
This isn't a game.
You were drawn back here
for a reason.
You are connected to an ancient,
mysterious universe.
The gods have been trying to
tell you something.
All you have to do
is listen to them.
The answers you seek are here,
I promise you.
But none of the things
I've been seeing are real.
How do you know they're not real?
Well, they're from my head,
they're from a book.
Humans know nothing about
anything, darling.
Real transformation can only happen
when you engage with what is beyond.
Why wouldn't you want
ancient guidance
from those who've gone before?
Why believe me?
Why not?
What's that?
It's bay laurel, darling.
It helps me get into the zone.
I'm going to channel the Moirai.
You should make an offering now.
Oh, what What kind of thing?
Traditionally, a goat.
A pregnant goat, ideally.
But not essential.
The goat's already dead.
Good!
You have a question for them?
Oh, what, just like?
A question.
Erm, what What sort of thing?
Well, you know why you came here.
You know what you want to ask,
so ask it.
Close your eyes.
ZOE INHALES
Yeah, don't say it out loud!
Just keep it to yourself,
or it won't come true.
Beneath this temple is
an even more ancient site,
a sacred source
..the cave of Gaia.
We must drink from her waters.
If you want this to work,
you must commit to it.
You must offer yourself up to her.
Her menstrual blood.
The source of all life.
No. Have more.
She wants you to have more.
I think I've had enough now.
I'm full, thank you.
Can you feel her power?
Can you feel it filling you?
Now feed it to me.
Pour it into my mouth.

Gnothi! What?
No, this is This is madness!
No!
You can't just walk away,
not now we've evoked her!
You'll anger the Fates!
It's not real! You're insane!
This isn't real!
FLICK VOCALISES
You're going to have to pay for
the boat.
I mean, I don't actually have
anything right now.
I'm I'm still a student.
I'm on a debt repayment scheme.
God.
Look, I can pay.
No. No way.
I don't want you to pay for me.
Why not? You didn't seem
to mind before.
I don't want you to.
Well, what else are you going to do?
You're not my dad.
I have an actual dad.
I'm afraid they will have
to stay here
until a suitable arrangement
is made.
Well, it's not our problem.
Will you pay for them?
Yeah, yeah. Good.
That's a nice thing to do.
Well, you know, he's a friend.
It's what you do.
How much do you need?
THEY SPEAK GREEK
8,000.
8,000?!
Yeah.
Well, I don't
I don't have that kind of money!
You have to pay for my boat!
Whoa!
All right. Yeah, OK, I can see that
you're quite agitated.
What shall we do?
I don't know what we do.
Erm
What about your watch?
My watch?! No. What? Shut up!
No. YOU shut up!
How much?
It's priceless, to me.
It was a present for my 30th.
All my family clubbed up.
You what?
They They clubbed up. They
For his 30th birthday.
How much is it worth?
No, no, absolutely not. No.
ARES: Yes. Absolutely, yes.
It's Omega.
300m water resistant.
Like, 5,000, 6,000K?
It's good.
OK.
No-one should own a watch
that costs that much, anyway.
It's immoral, really Sh!
I'm not rich!
I work for a charity!
You're not taking his watch.
Sorry.
Oh, no, no, don't
Don't worry at all.
Is there anything else you'd like?
Shirt off my back?
It cost £3.
Second-hand.
Come on.
Hi.
Is the temple over that way?
Yeah.
Are you on your own?
Yeah.
I mean, no.
Everyone else is
Sorry, I've just had a bit of
a weird day.
Oh.
Well, it's nice to have
a bit of time to yourself.
Yeah.
I said it was the wrong time
to come here, Greece.
It's too hot.
My husband didn't listen.
Oh.
Are you having a nice time?
Yeah. We are, yeah. Good.
I keep telling her, you know,
we're very lucky to be in Greece.
I didn't get to go abroad
until I was 25.
Zoe!
Don't run off, please, Zoe!
Are you happy?
Sorry?
Were you happy when you came here?
I don't know.
I always think holidays
will make everything better.
But it's still you, isn't it?
Yeah.
My husband wants to go
to some old ruins,
tell us the Greek myths
for the millionth time.
The kids just want to go to
the beach, don't they?
What do you want to do?
I've got no idea.
I'm just getting on with it.
That's what you do.
I've always known
it wouldn't end well.
Why'd you say that?
I just know it.
Does that sound silly?
No.
We've had so many rows this holiday.
I looked at him last night,
and I thought,
"I don't like you very much."
The main thing is we're together.
That's what's good for the kids,
isn't it?
It's not about me.
I do love you very much.
I know.
Have a lovely holiday.
The note's still here.
She's not going to know how to get
to Nat's house now, is she?
It's all locked up.
We should just go to Portugal
next year.
It's nice to have some time,
just us.
Mmm.
I don'treally feel like
we've been communicating that well.
We do have a lot on.
We have a very bright little boy,
who's been let down by
the school system.
We can't seem to find a good nanny
for love nor money.
Avery's quite needy at the moment.
I know that's about her mum -
but it is a lot.
And that's all without our friends
melting down around us.
OK.
I've got something to tell you.
I found the money
..in Zoe's bag.
I mean, the rest of it,
minus what she spent on herself.
It proves she stole it.
What the fuck? I know.
Why would you care about the money?
It's just money.
She's out there somewhere in danger!
God, I'm so sick of being
the bad guy!
It's It's not fair,
and it's really hurtful, Solomon.
Let's just find her.
OK, well, we'll be home soon,
and she'll just be one of
those friends that we never see.

Oh, we found some stuff
in that old drinks cabinet.
Hmm.
It actually tastes like a negroni.
I just
..wanted to say sorry
for all that stuff earlier.
Bringing it into your house.
It's OK.
I think Jacob's really pissed off
with me.
Look, you're 23. I get it.
It's just, he's quite vulnerable
at the moment.
I think he's still hurting
from everything that happened.
Sorry, what What do you mean?
Well, I just think he's feeling
a bit used?
It's not the first time
it's happened.
He's got major abandonment issues.
Well, he broke up with me,
so I don't know what that's about.
What?
VEHICLE APPROACHES
I do not understand why.
I

CAR DOORS SHU
I really liked him, so
We've looked everywhere.
So, I'm assuming she's safe and
just hasn't bothered to let us know,
which is a shame.
It's getting
It's getting quite late.
Should we go look for her again?
Oh, it's not late.
Late is when it gets dark.
She's probably just in a taverna,
having a souvlaki.
# And you know I'm right #
Sorry. Actually, no.
Sorry.
I'll make you a negroni.
I don't want a negroni.
I'd like a negroni.
Yeah! Yes!
Well, I don't know
quite what's going on with everyone.
But I'm going to go out
and look for her again.
Or you could, if you want to?
I think she'll be back
when she wants to be.
You think?
Yeah, I don't think she cares about
anyone else at the moment.
You know, she's on her own journey,
which is
SIGHING: It is what it is, you know.
See, it kind of sounds like
you're giving up a bit.
I'm looking after the children.
And that's all I can do, really.
You don't give up on someone
you love just because they've done
something selfish and done lots of
awful things.
You CAN love someone,
even if they treat you badly.
You take them back,
and you make it work.
Yeah, I think that's
an abusive relationship?
You hold on to things
when you have history with someone.
You don't just let them go.
I don't want you to be on your own.
Would that be so bad?
Yes!
We all need someone.
Do you know what it was like
when everyone went off and had kids,
and I was still single?
Have you ever tried to fill
a weekend when everyone you know
is at soft play?
Yeah, but you've got Jacob, though,
haven't you?
Yeah, you're a tight little team.
Each other's rocks, all that.
You've got the perfect little
marriage, really. Yeah
Nothing's breaking that one up.
So, I think you can
..relax.
Don't play the victim, Daniel.
Nothing's inevitable.
Sometimes you have to step up
and fight for what you believe in.
Because no-one is going to do it
for you.
I'm going to get them to bed,
and then, erm
Yeah.
Yeah
JACOB: He is such a twat.
He's chugging his way through
all your booze.
After you save him
and his dickhead friends' lives!
You were right, he's a scrounger.
Can you believe he took
my birthday watch?
Why didn't you tell me what happened
with him?
What?
That you dumped him.
I didn't.
He told me that he really liked you,
and I believed him.
I actually think he's really
..nice.
Why did you do that?
For fuck's sake.
I pulled the tour guide, obviously.
Then the food poisoning kicks in.
No!
And this was all three of
We were all separately, like
And they didn't make it back
in the tuk-tuk.
No! It was too quick.
Too immediate. Disgusting! No!
It was a It was
a horrible moment.
Yeah, not proud of it.
And they're, like, all cycling away.
Still came back
What are you doing?
She's just having a sundowner.
I don't think she is.
Oh, come on.
It's really hard being young
right now,
and being a teenager's even worse.
Let her have a drink.
It's not easy being in your 40s
either, love.
Seriously?
Well, do you know, we
We won't get interesting jobs,
because AI will be doing them all.
Mmm.
We'll never own property.
Oh, and the world is dying.
So, we'll have to live underground,
or in a big plastic bubble
on another planet by the time
we're your age.
Great.
And people wonder why we're anxious.
I mean!
Do you know what? To being young
at the end of the world!
To being young. Being young.
Young.
Sorry. Cheers.
No. Oh
No.
Solomon!
Oh, Avery Avery
You need to relax.
Come on.
Let's play backgammon.
Really?
Now?
Yeah.
I can teach you.
Come on.
FOOTSTEPS APPROACH
Avery, I'm sorry.
OK.
Thanks.
Thanks so Thanks so much
for that.
Avery!
SOLOMON SIGHS
She's back.
You let me think my daughter!
I ran someone over, for God's sake!
I don't actually think
that's my fault.
I'm supposed to be responsible
for her!
I know I should apologise to you,
too, but I'm not going to.
I can't go on being the same,
or I'll turn into my mum.
I can't believe you did that.
I
I thought I knew you.
Well, you didn't.
You only knew the nice one,
your nice old friend
who's always there for you.
I've been being nice
since I was born.
No-one EVER asks if I'm all right!
I lost myself.
But I've found myself a bit.
And what I've found
isn't all that nice!
It's much more Greek than that!
Look at me!
Some of me wants things
I shouldn't want.
I have desires that scare me!
I want to be wanted.
I want some attention!
There we are!
But now I've opened my box,
like Pandora did,
and I'm showing it to you.
And no-one can judge me for it,
because that's what's there.
And do you know what Pandora left
at the bottom of the box?
I remember now. It's hope.
I think I'm meant to be happy
..and I thought I might be happy
with you.
# Somewhere deep inside
# Something's got a hold on you
ROWDY LAUGHTER
# And it's pushing me aside
# See it stretch on forever
# And I know I'm right
# For the first time in my life
KNOCK AT DOOR
# That's why I tell you
# You'd better be home soon
# Stripping back the coats of lies
and deception
# Back to nothing else
# Like a week in the desert
# And I know I'm right
# For the first time in my life
# That's why I tell you
# You'd better be home soon
# Oh
# That's why I tell you
# You'd better be home
# Soon. #
