Two Years Later (2026) s01e07 Episode Script
Seventh Date
1
We didn't want that job.
It's different.
I need stability.
I have money.
And if you wanted to do anything,
I'd I'd back you.
You don't even know me.
I don't think that's true.
You forgot to vote.
No, I just didn't vote.
Well, if everyone thought that way,
we could have lost.
What do you mean by a way?
Was I meant to give you a bullet-point
list of all my political beliefs?
I feel like I don't even know you.
Was I supposed to change my personality?
Become a new human being just to make you
more comfortable in your own insecurities.
And if you want to go, you can go,
but do it on your own.
You tell me to fuck off.
In my beginning is my end.
And succession houses rise and fall are
extended.
I removed, destroyed, restored.
Or in their place is an open field,
or a factory, or a bypass.
Old stone to new building.
Old timber to new fires.
Old fires to ashes.
Ashes to the earth.
As we go from this place, may we carry
with us our own warm memories of Morgan.
I well remember many years ago,
my dear brother, very patiently,
trying to teach me legspin bowling with a
tennis ball in our backyard cricket game.
Never really got the hang of that.
May we live our lives inspired by Morgan's
example.
His kindness, his strength.
Let us pray.
Almighty God, in our sorrow, we turn to
you for comfort and for healing.
We thank you for the great gift of
Morgan's life.
And for the many ways he's touched our
lives.
This is the hope and light that Morgan
shared with us every day.
The hope and the light within us all.
We're now going to hear
from Ryan, Morgan and Lorna's
grandson, who will share with
us his own memories of Morgan.
Ryan?
Thank you, Ian.
Hi, thanks for coming.
I don't
know.
Bob never liked being in here in the
church.
That's not a secret.
After Mum died, he
always said that he would
only come here for
weddings and funerals.
So I guess he's kind of keeping that
pledge.
I hope this is okay with him.
Nann and I were there when he passed.
It was
Something that happened very quickly.
Morgan?
Darling, you're up?
Get the aspirin.
Get the aspirin.
What is it, darling?
Oh, my God, he's in pain.
Get me the aspirin.
Here, darling.
Morgan, what's wrong?
And it was weirdly
It was weirdly peaceful.
He just took one long breath and looked at
Nann and said, I can see your light.
Not the light.
Hers.
And then he started smiling like he knew
something.
And then that was it.
So many memories have flooded back to me
over the last couple of days.
Strange memories of my mum.
I remember when I was younger.
She used to sit with me and sing me to
sleep.
It wasn't always like that.
It was really tough for Nann and Pop
sometimes.
I think we all just dealt with that a bit
differently.
Lately, I'm beginning to wonder if maybe
Pop handled it better than the rest of us.
It was always open to how people could be
more hopeful.
And I thought I was like that too until
recently.
I thought maybe I'm not.
Maybe I'm not.
I remember once I told him about something
I'd read.
That time is not a line but a loop.
And that each moment we're in is a fixed
point that we travel through many times.
And that's why we feel deja
vu or that we've been there
before or that we have certain
connections to certain people.
Even if we mess it up sometimes.
Especially today I hope it's true.
Here's a poem that Pop loved from T.S.
Eliot.
In my beginning is my end.
In succession houses rise and fall.
Crumble.
Our extended.
I removed.
Destroyed.
Thanks for coming.
Thanks for organizing everything.
You too.
I'll be sure to have you two.
You two seconds.
Excuse me.
I'm
so sorry for your loss.
Thanks for coming.
Another beautiful speech.
That was a bit random.
Ryan, I shot him.
I'm sorry, I have to.
Yeah.
I Be coming to
the house later?
Could you?
It's been a while since you and I were
cold.
It's just in and out.
We're up and down on love.
I look the other way.
I won't be tempted by people that lead me
straight.
Cause it's been a while since you and I
were cold.
Do I settle down and show you all for
good?
I'm asking you to stay.
Stay.
I'm just asking you to stay.
It's been a while since you and I were
cold.
I'm asking you to wait.
Between all the secrets that won't go
away.
Cause it's been a while since you and I
were cold.
I'm just asking you to stay.
Do you fall in love and fuck it up for
good?
Do you mind if
I sit?
Oh, yes, please, goodness.
They're rather all over me.
I try to avoid me.
Thank you for coming.
I'm so sorry.
Did you kill him?
I'm sorry, that's not funny.
It's just so sad.
It would have been a lot sad if I hadn't
spent the last 50 years with him.
Oh, I will miss him.
But we didn't miss anything.
We had a long time.
Did he say that before he died that he
could see your light?
Yes, he did.
That's beautiful.
It's very beautiful.
Did you really get married after eight
days?
No, we did.
How did you know that he was
the right person for you?
I didn't know.
I mean, we were just silly kids.
It's wild.
It was a bit wild, isn't it?
No, I don't know.
We just had this
feeling.
Yeah?
I don't think it was any one thing.
It's just that
he calmed me.
And I challenged him.
And we just sort of grew up together.
And
then we got old.
And we never, ever tried to change each
other.
Even in the hard times.
There were some very hard times.
Of course, there were many things we did
not agree on.
But we did agree on the things that really
matter.
And I really think that that
that is what counts.
Oh, I don't know.
We might have missed out on some things,
but I don't think we did.
I don't think you did either.
You don't think so?
No, I don't think so.
Thanks, my thanks for counting.
Thank you.
Ian, really appreciate it.
You had a fight.
He was very upset.
Yeah, well, it was pretty bad.
Was it the last one?
It's only the last one that really
matters.
And I don't know her.
He really hurt you.
I think you should have it.
Excuse me.
Yeah.
Oh, did he get off OK?
He did.
I'll call and organize our time next week
to pick up the ashes.
Good.
They tried to upset us on the urn.
Of course they did.
Well, I'm going to make a cup of tea.
No, I'll get it.
You see.
I'll help.
How are you?
What a day, huh?
What a day.
Thanks for coming.
Bailey.
How are you?
Why didn't you call me and tell me?
I didn't think you'd want to hear from me.
Why?
Because I got pissed and at like an asshole
and I floated all my insecurities on you.
No, I was the asshole.
You were right.
It's something I need to work on.
Maybe we will borrow the hostiles.
I think it's OK that we don't agree on
everything.
That's not the point.
The point is there is something real here
between us.
And that's the most important thing.
Please don't not call me again.
Good.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry too.
I missed you.
I missed you too.
I guess it's my turn for the next one.
Bailey, are you calling this a date?
I've been on way worse.
Want to say
this to Laura?
Sure.
Hey, you sweet.
Thanks for coming.
Thank you.
That was a beautiful speech.
I'm glad you liked it.
I painted this for you.
You work really hard so that people don't
feel lonely in your presence.
That must be exhausting.
So I wanted you to have this so that you
know that I see you.
And that you are not alone.
Not ever.
OK.
OK.
Excuse me.
OK.
It's OK.
It's OK.
We didn't want that job.
It's different.
