[phone rings.]
[clears throat.]
Morning, Miss West.
Thank you so much for calling me.
No problem.
I was hoping to talk to Daniel today, but he didn't show up.
I want him for the launch.
The launch? The Live A Great Life campaign.
Linda's found a fun run coming up, so let's piggy-back on that.
- Give the runners free bracelets.
- Right I must've missed that meeting.
I thought Daniel would be there with you.
No, he's not.
Linda's the only one from We Cover to show up.
Oh, hi, Michael.
It's such a beautiful day.
I mean, I'm the only one that's come in today.
I gave everyone the day off so that they could attend your father's funeral.
Look.
Michael, everyone hated him.
Oh, don't worry.
Michael.
I'm sure you'll have lots of staff members at your funeral.
Thank you, Linda.
Well, can I say, Miss West, that it actually breaks my heart that I can't be there today.
I'm sure, but his will specifically states that you were not to attend the funeral if it was on a workday.
- Oh, God.
- [Michael.]
Oh.
- It's happening.
- [vicar.]
Earth to earth - [Katerina.]
Michael, I gotta go.
- [vicar.]
ashes to ashes Goodbye, Mr.
West.
Sorry I couldn't be there in person, but know I'm here, steadying your ship.
Passport, check.
Drug money, check.
Caught you red-handed! Well, what have you got to say for yourself? I can explain.
I was forced into it.
I didn't mean to do anybody any harm.
I know you didn't, Iain, but St Frederick's has a strict no bicycles policy.
Yes.
Yes, of course it does.
I'll take it outside immediately.
I know that there are bicycle thieves everywhere, but it's about impression, isn't it? Especially as I'm putting your name forward to become a partner.
A partner? - Here at St Frederick's? - You've really impressed me of late.
Complete 180.
And that should be reflected in your position here.
Wow! Ah, Sherry, I I don't know what to say.
Well, that's evident.
Now, get that bike moved, would you? It can't be kept indoors.
Not even by partners, eh? [Chuckles.]
Yes.
Yes, partners.

We weren't meant to be together.
I'm so sorry, son.
[sobs.]
Why are you doing this? You've got to live life, Daniel.
Grab it by the balls.
- You taught me that.
- No, I didn't.
- I've never said that.

It just showed me how little time we have here.
- And your bravery - [text alert.]
You inspired me.
Like Douglas Bader.
MUM: HAVE YOU HEARD FROM YOUR DAD? You haven't told Mum yet.
She thinks I'm at the Steam Museum in Brentford.
Oh, that's a great family day out.
Look, have you been drinking, Dad? - Oh, some whisky, a couple of Pernods.
- Oh, God.
- I'm so sorry.
- And you drove here? I hate for you to see me like this, especially with you having cancer.
Mr.
Glass, speaking as somebody who's recently been evicted by his wife, can I say I think you need to fight for your marriage.
Yeah.
Yeah, he's right.
Look, I'm gonna drive you back home to Mum.
It's not too late to fix this.
You are not leaving her.
You're not driving my car.
Not after what happened last time.
Just calm down.
I'm gonna get you a glass of water.
Michael, can you look after him? Daniel, it's Dr.
Iain Glennis.
I was cycling to the station by my house when Yeah, okay.
I'm gonna be a little bit late.
I had to come to work.
- I've seen your friend.
- Who? Will? Yes, he's in a You-Ber.
A You-Ber? What's a You-Ber? A You-Ber.
One of the internet taxi things.
Oh, an Uber.
- Okay, where's he going now? - I don't know.
I've lost him.
We are quite close to the We Cover offices.
He just walked in.
Yes.
I'm on my way.
His face - It's fine.
- Good! You know, your dad was always trying to get me to come here for meetings.
Huh! I'll bet.
- So you're selling it? - Yes, I'm selling everything.
His property, his erotic art, the company - What will you do with the money? - I'm expanding the sanctuary.
I really wanna take in more orphan gorillas.
And I'm adding a pool.
Oh, do gorillas like swimming? No.
But I do.
Oh, wow! Mr.
West met Nelson Mandela? Yeah, he didn't realize he campaigned vigorously for his imprisonment.
[laughs.]
That's funny.
[Katerina.]
Can you come to the garage? Wowee! Yeah, it's a shame he didn't die 15 years ago while his porn collection was still worth something.
I'm auctioning everything.
- Well, I can help you list it all.
- Really? Yeah, I'd love to.
I love looking through other people's junk.
Thank you.
That would be fantastic.
- Okay, well, I'll see you in a bit.
- Yeah.
I'm on it.
Thank you, Linda.
You're an angel.
Aww! [chuckles.]
[giggles nervously.]
Okay, I'll see you soon.
Good luck in here.
Can you believe my dad had leather sheets? - I mean, it's just disgusting.
- [laughs.]
Wash your hands before you come in the house.
[Daniel.]
What are you doing here? Where's your mask? Which office is Katerina West's? Accent? You're not even American.
Who the fuck are you? You lied to me.
Wow! Unbelievable.
- No, don't go in there.
- Where is she? - Sorry, who are you? - Katerina West.
Where is she? I am not at liberty to divulge that information.
She may be at Brentford Steam Museum.
Well, no, she's at the funeral.
Oh, yes.
Dear Daddy's funeral.
Please, can we just sit down and just talk about this? I'm done talking with you, back-stabber.
Fuck you.
Do not swear at my son.
If only you knew what a lying piece of shit your son really is.
You can't trust anything that comes out of his mouth.
And to think I thought we'd be best friends.
- Wanker! - How dare you! - [Daniel.]
Dad! - Ow! - [Gordon.]
Oh, sorry! - Michael, are you all right? I'm fine, I'm fine.
It was an honest mistake.
It's your word against mine! Actually, Daniel, it's your word against you! [laughs.]
Dad, I need your car keys now.
Keys? Keys, er They've gone.
That bastard must've stolen them.
For fuck's sake! WILL GOING TO STEAL TOYOTA RAV4 WITH CHRISTIAN FISH.
STOP HIM! But it could be anywhere! Oh! [chuckles.]
Bless you, Lord.
[mutters.]
Cutting someone's brakes Right.
Um One, two, three, four You'd think they'd make it easier to cut someone's brakes! [footsteps approach.]
Oh! Ah! Oh, please [whimpers.]
Oh, Lord in heaven, hallowed be hallowed be Oh, thank you, Lord.
Where are we going? We're getting your car keys back.
Keys? Oh, well, but they're here.
- What? Oh, for fuck's sake! - [chuckles.]
- They were in my trousers.
Silly me! - Oh, God! - [Iain.]
0770900 - [Daniel.]
What's going on? I'm back on his tail.
- [retching.]
- [Vanessa.]
Are you okay? No, I'm really sick.
- Oh.
- Please forgive the smell.
So, um you said something about a message.
Yes.
I saw a message from you to Ash and I think I saw the word "cock.
" Oh! Um I remember.
It was it was before I knew Daniel had cancer and I was dumping him, so I texted Ash for some advice and and I called Daniel a cock.
Of course! I'm so sorry.
I'm just all over the place right now.
I You don't need to apologize.
So, where's the phone now? Oh, well, I got so excited that I'd unlocked it that I dropped it down the toilet.
Oh, my God, Vanessa! [laughs.]
The internet says I've got to leave it in rice for three days to dry it out and even then it might be fucked.
Right.
Well let's hope it's not.
[laughs nervously.]
Oh, God, there's more.
- Drive carefully, son.
- I will! I've driven a lot since then, okay? - No crashes.
We'll be fine.
- [groans.]
- [phone rings.]
- [Iain.]
Oh! Hello? - [Daniel.]
Where are you? - Right on his tail.
He didn't steal the Rav.
He took another You-Ber.
I know.
He's headed to Kenny West's house.
Number 57 Goldhanger Road, just off the A307.
Right, I'll get there before him.
All the smoothies and exercise are certainly paying off.
I'm barely breaking a sweat.
Okay, what are you gonna do? I'm going to stop him.
Er, yeah, but how? Well, if I can cut a man's brakes, I'm pretty sure I can bash his brains in.
Sorry, what did you what did you do? When you said he'd stolen the keys to the Rav 4 with the Christian fish, I got to it before he did.
I snipped the brakes.
You cut the brakes? Yes, yes.
I cut the brakes.
I'm not proud of it, Daniel, - but it was him or us.
- Fuck! [Iain.]
I know it's a high-pressure environment, but please don't use that word.
- No, no, Daniel, slow down.
- Fuck! Can you not use that word, Daniel? Daniel, what the hell are you doing? Slow down! You fucking idiot! - [scream.]
- [line goes dead.]
Daniel? Daniel? Hello? If he talks to me like that again, I'll cut his bloody brakes! - Hello.
- What the fuck? - Hey, chill out, chill out! - Chill out? Who the fuck are you? The gate was open, the door was open You're Kenny's daughter, right? Are you from We Cover? In a way.
There's something I need to tell you.
I know Kenny's house is around here somewhere.
Now, did he say Goldacre Lane or Goldacre Road? Goldacre Lane's 137 miles away.
So it must be here, I suspect.
[tires screech.]
[yells.]
Argh! [tinny music through headphones.]
Daniel doesn't have cancer.
That's insane! Who pretends to have cancer? Daniel.
The poster boy for your daddy's company is a fake.
Right.
Anything else you wanna tell me? 9/11 was an inside job? Donald Trump won the popular vote? I mean, come on.
I have evidence.
[Daniel.]
It's only for six months, okay? And then everyone will think I've beat it.
And then I'll get my life back on track and no one will ever know I faked cancer.
When Daniel began to confide in me, I started recording our conversations.
What do you want? - Money.
- I don't have any! Oh, fuck off! Look at this place.
You'll get millions for it.
Uh-uh.
All that money is going to charity.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, Little Miss Trust Fund's monkey hotel.
[laughs.]
Look, I'm not greedy, okay? I just want 100 grand and then I'll be out of your hair.
Right, and how do I know you're gonna stop at that? Well, you don't.
But if people find out that Daniel's been faking it, then We Cover will be finished.
And you you can't afford to take that chance.
No.
I can't do that to my gorillas.
Fuck your gorillas! It is what it is.
It is what it is Okay.
So, for 100 grand you'll disappear? Off the face of the earth.
[chuckles.]
Motherfucker! Oh, God.
Not again.
It is what it is [Becca.]
I know you're the size of a lentil, but try and kick once if you're Daniel's or twice if you're Ash's.
[sighs.]
[phone buzzes.]
Hi, Mrs.
Glass.
Becca, they've had an accident! They? Who? Daniel and Gordon.
I knew he shouldn't have got in the car with him.
He's cursed.
Wait, what? My Gordon, my Simon You mean Daniel? Daniel.
[sobs.]
[vomits.]
