Two Years Later (2026) s01e08 Episode Script
Eighth Date
1
And you read me?
What do I need?
You okay?
I have a boyfriend.
You make me feel like shit.
And you've been having a fucking affair
this whole time?
You had an emotional relationship with
someone and you fucked them.
And that's a pretty big deal to me.
It's not a competition about who's the
biggest asshole is it?
It's okay to feel lost.
Sometimes it cleans up.
Here's the path, the new things to happen.
We'll let the record reflect.
I loved you before I knew you were loaded.
What did you say?
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.
I'm so sorry.
Why didn't you call me and tell me?
I didn't think it would have.
I think it's okay that we don't agree on
everything.
That's not the point.
The point is there is something real here
between us.
Hey.
So I want it ten minutes.
My quip.
Could you, a whole new person?
Hardly.
David, I fucked up.
And I know you fucked up too, but this
isn't about you.
I fucked up.
And I
I don't know.
I thought I was better than that.
Turns out I'm not.
And I'm really sorry.
I'm sorry too.
Sorry.
What are you looking for?
Forgiveness?
closure, maybe?
Okay.
You checked out.
And so then I checked out.
And I just used that excuse to do what I
did.
Maybe you did too, I don't know.
Yeah.
I did.
I know that now.
Maybe just forgive yourself.
David, I said some really shitty things to
you when I'm sorry.
Especially after
everything that we went
through, I just Let's
not talk about that.
I'm sorry.
For what I did.
Truly.
Okay, well I forgive you, I do.
Can you forgive me?
Okay, that's fine.
It's actually fair enough.
Do you want some insight from a real
asshole?
Yeah.
Well, you're not an asshole.
You're a good person.
Am I?
Yeah, you are.
You're better than most.
Maybe you just did the wrong thing for
something more right for you.
That is the most profound thing I've ever
heard you say.
Yeah, well, you're right.
I am a genius.
We went through some shit, didn't we?
Yeah, we did.
We just don't think we were the best
versions of ourselves when we were together.
I think we can still be friends.
Probably not.
But that's okay.
We were.
And there were some good times.
Yeah, there were.
All right.
You look after yourself?
Good morning.
How did you sleep?
Surprisingly good.
You?
Okay.
I had this weird dream.
I was on a beach.
That's weird.
So did I.
That was yours.
It was perfect.
Perfect day.
Yours?
It was good.
Are we merging?
Could be.
So what's on the books for today?
The eighth date.
You're still counting?
You started.
Yeah, true.
This is nice though, right?
Just being here.
Together.
So where are we going?
You'll see.
Coffee?
Mm-hmm.
All right.
You are a morning person.
Too much pepper in your step for this
hour.
You better believe it.
It doesn't get better than this.
Hey.
Marry me.
Excuse me?
So where are we off to?
It's a surprise.
You want me to call the ride share or?
No, I don't know if you can catch the bus.
Okay.
Hey.
Marry me.
Gee, I really would.
No, I'm serious.
Like, today.
What?
Yeah.
Today.
Today, today?
Yep.
I've organized everything, shocking.
I know.
You're serious.
This is the date.
Wait, you planned it?
Yep.
Look, I just
always like seeing you on the bus.
Easily the highlight of my day.
I didn't think I was going to see you
again.
Me neither.
Look, I know my life is messy and
complicated.
It was messy and complicated before, and
it's probably always going to be that way.
But it's so much better with you in it
than not.
And I know enough to know this is right.
I don't need another date to know.
I knew after the first
date, it just took me
eight weeks to get my
shit together and trust it.
Is that right?
Who even dates anymore?
I don't know.
It's very old school.
Feels like we've been doing it wrong,
lately.
Here is a distinct lack of wooing.
We can start small.
Go for coffee.
I knew the second that you asked me.
I am.
I did miss you, those two years.
In fact, I missed you the next day when
they locked us down.
And I just didn't think I was ever going
to see you again.
Sam.
I don't think I realized how sad that made
me until I saw you sitting there on the
bus two years later and my fucking heart
skipped a beat.
Is this impulsive?
Yes.
Have I thought through every little nuance
or potential pitfall?
No.
Who cares?
Who fucking cares?
What else is there?
Wait, is this wooing?
You know what I mean.
I want to stay here with you and follow
this energy like you said.
All I know is I have never
been as enthusiastically
unsure of anything
in my entire life.
Will you marry me?
Yes.
Today?
Yes.
Well, text me.
I always knew I was you.
And the first time I met you.
Then let's fucking do it.
Let's fucking do it.
Yes.
You and you.
You did.
Oh, no.
I'm so happy for you.
Oh.
Shh.
There.
It's only a two and a half hour drive,
Mum.
Well, it's not.
I've checked on maps.
Father hates driving in the city.
The city on the time to go to the casino.
Yes, but there's parking there.
You know?
It's anxious about the parking.
And you know, Glenn's working all day for
listening.
You can't find a babysitter in New Day.
He's got nothing to wear.
Doesn't he still have the suit from
Felicity's wedding?
Well, he's put on wait over COVID.
He saw him.
So what?
You're not going to go to your daughter's
wedding because parking gives you anxiety
and Dad can't spend $50 on
a shirt and pants from Kmart
or drive anywhere that
doesn't have poquies or roulette.
You gave us a days notice.
Yeah.
I understand that, Mum.
Look.
You just can't expect us to drop
everything and get there because you've
impossibly decided to get married to some
guy that you've known for two months.
You think I'm being impulsive?
Eight weeks is a little fast, don't you
think?
You know, I don't really ask you guys for
much.
I'm just asking for the bare minimum here
to show up.
Yes.
And this is the sixth time that we've
heard from you in three years.
Are you called us twice a year if you can
be bothered?
You're text for birthdays.
You don't bother to show up to any family
gatherings and when you do, it's like you
just scow and It's like
you don't even like it, Simali.
That's not true, Mum.
Well, that's how it feels.
You know what?
It's fine.
No, Emily.
No.
Mum, you're right.
I'm sorry.
Emily?
Really, I'm I'm not angry.
Hey, look, I've got to go.
I've got to get ready.
I'm sorry too, Enz.
I love you.
I love you too, Mum.
Tada!
You're ready?
It's been a long time, long time,
long time.
Since I've seen you smile.
And I gamble away my friend.
And I gamble away my friend.
I've got time.
And tonight, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Oh, I saw you.
That's what you're meant to see.
Do you, Ryan?
Take Emily as your wife and companion
through the good times and bad times.
It is my
privilege to present to you Mr. and Mrs.
Wright.
Some of the greatest joys in life.
Come from the unexpected.
And when they're born from tragedy,
they are truly unexpected.
But you, Ryan, are the greatest joy of my
life and of Morgans.
And indeed was very unexpected,
that you would be my boy.
And what is truly unexpected is that you
met this girl, this phenomenal,
extraordinary girl, and that you are right
for each other.
So let's raise a glass to Ryan and Emily.
Well, I had to put my undies back on yet.
No, my account.
You okay?
Yeah.
I just really didn't think that we were
going to schedule this surgery so soon.
It's really felt like a future and only
problem.
Yeah, here we are.
We are.
You're going to be fine.
The vaginal prank show is rolling out of
town.
Sorry to keep you both waiting.
Let's see.
So
we're not going to be able to do the
corrective surgery today.
Oh.
Okay.
And why is that?
You're pregnant.
No.
Yeah.
You were about six weeks alone.
I thought that I couldn't.
It was unlikely, but not impossible.
Of course, we'll keep
an eye on things for the
next few weeks until
you are a 12-week scan.
As you know.
I don't want to call it all, but you don't
want to call it love.
You're what
was true.
I'm gonna shout, just stop the feeling.
And you read me?
What do I need?
You okay?
I have a boyfriend.
You make me feel like shit.
And you've been having a fucking affair
this whole time?
