Thank you, Victor.
Means a lot.
Oh, did you get your diary? Uh, no, unfortunately not.
- Phone, mate, Iâm telling you.
- Get with the 21st century.
I will.
Things that indicate a persons guilt are usually pretty apparent.
- Not always.
- Usually, though.
Like what? - Like sweating.
- Right.
Stuttering or a panicked sort of quality to the intonation.
Yeah, but not always though.
Iâm not saying always.
Iâm saying usually.
Here's someone now.
- Good morning, madam.
- Good morning.
You wouldnât happen to have your drivers license on you, by any chance? Sure.
- Can I ask where youâre headed? - Shepherds Bush.
I've been visiting my father in Ealing.
Five o'clock in the morning.
He's in the early stages of dementia.
I see.
Very sorry to hear that.
- What's going on? - It's nothing to worry about.
You drive safely now, wont you? See? - And the innocent are usually more calm.
- Not always.
More forthcoming.
Again, I didnât say always, Jim.
- Right.
- I said usually.
I'm gonna take a piss.
Fucks sake.
- Good morning, sir.
- Good morning.
You wouldnât happen to have your drivers license on you at all, would you? - My drivers license? - Yes.
Um no, Iâm afraid I donât.
Although, if its important, perhaps I could bring it to you tomorrow or something? - Bill? - Yeah? - Yeah, can you come here a minute? - Really? You know, to the station or whatever.
Do you mind if I ask you what's got you out and about at such an early hour? There was an emergency.
Um, my dog ran away.
Iâve been driving around, searching for him all night.
- I see.
And what's his name? - Sorry? - Your dog.
- Oh, um Lassie.
Lassie? All right, would you mind stepping out of the car for me please, sir? - Bill! - Give me a minute.
Fucking hell! Sir, would you mind stepping out of the car please? - I need to go.
- Iâm afraid you cant go anywhere - until we get this sorted.
- But my dog, sir.
Thatâs enough about the dog, okay? Now Iâm gonna need you to take a step out of the car Sir! Sir! - Get off! - Please stop! Sir! Stop! Stop! Don't! Stop! Get off! Stop the fucking car! Bill! Bill? In surviving a catastrophe, something worth bearing in mind is that, no matter how much were prepared, there are two important elements over which we simply have no control.
The first is chance.
How can we ever hope to prepare for what's impossible to predict? The second is human fallibility.
At our core, we're a fundamentally irrational species, prone to emotional responses that may not be the wisest.
Fucks sake.
Hello.
- Lee? - Yeah? Lee, Iâve been shot.
What are you talking about? Lee, Iâve been shot in my stomach.
Thereâs blood fucking everywhere.
What do you mean? Where are you? - Iâm really scared, Lee.

But he said to apologise.
It's all right.

Listen, thanks for arranging all this.
The memorial was a wonderful idea.
Well, she deserves it.
Absolutely.
Barry.
How are you? Shall we? Jamie! Shit.
Yeah.
I know.
I know that everyone here loved Beth.
But I suspect that many of you feel a disappointment or anger toward her for how she left us.
But my wife was a fiercely proud woman, fiercely single-minded and independent.
When her hope was finally exhausted she made the decision selfishly, perhaps I donât know to maintain her pride and independence, even as it pertained to how she would leave this world.
And I cant' say whether that was right or wrong.
All I can say is that was Beth.
- Nice to see you.
- Oh - Hey.
- Hi, Dad.
- How you doing? - Yeah, Iâm doing okay.
- Lovely speech, Daniel.
- Adam, cheers.
That was a lovely speech.

Iâm not avoiding you.

And Iâve called you several times since.
Okay, youâre right.
Iâm sorry.
No, it's just Iâve been really worried about you, Dad.
Sorry.
Well, why don't we make a date right now to get together properly? - Yeah, okay.
- Yeah? - Yeah.
- Lunch or something? And we can catch up on everything thatâs been - Go ahead.

No, seriously, it's fine.
I'll just go wait over there.
- What's up? - Daniel, I need your help.
With what? Don't you know where I am? Yeah, your wife's whatever, yeah.
Look, Iâm sorry, mate.
But do you hear that? Thatâs a man with a fucking bullet in his stomach.
- A bullet? - Yeah, and he's bleeding like fuck.
- And I need you to save him.
- Well, take him to hospital.
I can't, all right? - Why not? - Iâm on my way down to the clinic.
No, no, no, donât take him there, Lee.

All right, the bags are up.
What are you? Oh, mate.
Were gonna need to remove his spleen.
- Why? - Because thereâs a bullet in it.
And he will die if I don't.

You can always change your mind.
If youâll excuse me, Iâm gonna go to the ladies.

Well, youâre sort of teasing.
Just worried she's never gonna be able to take care of herself.
- Yeah, but you heard her.
- She loves it, I know.
Yeah, she does.
And she's a fully-grown woman, Daniel.
She has to be free to succeed or fail on her own terms, you know? Doesnât get any easier, does it? No, it doesnât.
I love you, Daniel.
Wow, where that come from? I don't know.
Well, I love you too.
And, um Iâm sorry for being so preoccupied this last while.
- No, it - No, really, I am.
Iâm sorry for being so - Pissed off about it? - Yeah.
Okay.
Give me a kiss.
Oh, Jesus Christ, you two.
Give me a break.
She's ruining the moment.
But at least you didnât fight.
Oh, no, it was lovely, actually.
- I even apologized.
- For what? Oh, just my preoccupation with this, you know, the late nights.
And what did he say? He apologized too.
Well, thatâs good.
Yeah.
It was nice, you know, to get rid of some of that friction.
So? So the motor cells are still dying, but the rate is a whole lot slower.
And thatâs X331 again? I don't think were gonna find a more effective compound.
Yeah, me either.
Thatâs pretty exciting.
Okay, well, um Right, well, from here on then, why don't? - Oh, it's Eleanor.
- Oh, what have you done? Youâve also transferred some resources from the progeria research to Lancasters.
- Yeah, is that okay? - Well But it just It feels like were really making progress there, so No, it's fine, but youâll have to give James a breakdown of all the extra hours youâre working.
Oh, of course.
Like, as soon as you can because its gonna be me he's bugging.
Yeah, I know, I will.
Okay.
So, uh, that is that it? Yeah.

Four were arrested at the scene of the robbery, while police believe the fifth escaped in the van which was later discovered burnt-out in a field near Perivale off the A40.
The victim of the hit-and-run, DC William Robson, a 44-year-old father So thatâs why you couldnât take him to hospital? - What? - Because you knew what heâd done? Are you joking? No.
Or you didnât? Well, not till now.
He just told me he couldnât go there.
But you knew it was bad or illegal.
Look, look, well, I suppose I might have suspected maybe.
But Jesus, I never thought it was something like this.
How did he know about me? - He didnât.
- Well, why call you then? Because he knows I have access to certain things that most people wouldnât, which, I suppose, might include someone like you.
Jesus, relax.
- How long have you known him? - Years.
He used to stay at our place when he was young.
- Why? - His mom was a junkie.
- What does it matter why? - It matters, Lee, because of how important it is this place stays a secret.
What was I supposed to do, huh? He calls me.
He tells me he's bleeding to death.
I told you to take him to hospital! - Yes, but then he would have been caught then.
- What do you care whether he's caught or not? I already told you, he's a fucking friend of mine! All right.
Look, I need to do some work.
Some work? - Yeah.
- What? Youâre not going back to your thing? Look, you need to have a think about what youâre gonna do with him because he can't stay here.
Do you understand? - Yeah.
- Good.
I can't believe she's gone.
Yes, I I know.
Listen, no one can.
Anyway, Iâm so sorry I couldnât stay any longer.
No, not at all.
Were just so happy that you came.
- Of course.

Yours or Eve's.
My parents.
To be honest, I thought I was gonna get there first.
- Get where? - Well, come up with a cure.
But you said that was months away.
I could have taken care of you.
Oh, I didnât need taking care of.
- Well, helped you then.
- How? - I don't know, with your research.
- No, you couldnât.
- Why? - Well, because research isnât your field.
- It was.

- And how many decades ago was that? Come on.
I could have spent more time with you.
I could have paid you more attention.
I know, Iâm sorry.
So, what now? Well, Iâm not beaten yet.
We still have some time left, so nothings changed except thereâs a tighter deadline now.
- Let me help you then.
- No, Daniel.
- I'll fetch you coffee.
- Oh, right.
- I'll clean your Bunsen burners.

What is it? Could you, um? Could you meet me at Temple tube station? - Why? - I really need you, Anna.
- Daniel - It's, uh - It's a matter of life and death.
- Life or death? - Iâm not kidding.
- Hold on.
Sorry, could you drop me off at Temple tube station instead please? Thank you.
So where do I meet you? At the entrance? No, on the westbound platform.
The platform? Okay.
- Only it won't be me.
- What do you mean? It won't be me that meets you.
Wait, Iâm confused now.
Who will it be that meets me? This is a safety announcement.
Please take care when you - Youâre Anna? - Yes.
Right, this way, quick.
Are you serious? Yeah.
- Where are we going? - Youâll see.
I'll see? What do you mean, I'll see? Where is he? It's just down here.

- I thought you said it wasnât much further.
- You need to hurry up! What the hell is this place? - Anna.
- Daniel! - What What's going on? - I need a transfusion from you.
- A blood transfusion? - Yeah, Iâve got a kit in there.
- Youâre joking.
- No.
Daniel, Iâm not gonna give you my blood.
Are you crazy? I don't even know where the fuck I am.
- We're underground.
- Yes, Iâm aware of that.
- What are you up to here though? - I'll tell you later.
- No, tell me now.
- I don't have time to tell you now.
- And yet you want me to give my blood - Will you do what he fucking tells you?! Lee.
What the hell is wrong with you? - Anna.
- How the hell do I get out of here? Anna! Who the bloody hell are you? She's no one, George.
- Bloody invasion of bloody privacy.
- Iâm sorry.
- What's going on, Daniel? - Look, a man is about to die.
He needs a universal donor.
He needs you.
He needs your blood.
I promise Iâm not giving any blood! - Anna, please.
- No! Now, Iâm gonna call the police if you donât What's that? Chloroform or something? Yeah.
Youâre kidding.
Iâm so sorry.
It's so hard to accept, you know? And to think that, all that time, she had that knowledge while we were indulging ourselves.
Was that what weâve been doing? Well, wasnât it? Yeah, I suppose it was.
I take it we wont be seeing each other for a while.
No, I-I suppose not.
Okay.
It's the appropriate thing to do, I suppose.
Do you regret what we did? No.
Right.
Yes.
I I don't know.
Same here.
No, I don't.
I don't.
Same here.
Well, it's a private clinic, you see.
Right.
Yeah, I get you.
An accident victim came in.
- What was it? - The accident? Yeah.
A car crash.
And there was a problem with the on-call surgeon for some reason.
Really? So I had to go in.
And you couldnât have just refused? Would you have preferred me to? No, probably not.
So how the rest of the day go? Well, I missed you, but it was good to see Granny and Grandpa.
Well, like we said, let's find a date to have lunch, and then we can have a chat about my All your recent elusiveness.
Yeah, amongst other things.
- I'll think about it.
- Fair enough.
So did they live? Who? The person.
The accident victim.
To be honest, we'll have to wait and see.
But we're cautiously optimistic.
Okay.
Bye, sweetheart.
Bye, Dad.
What are they? I don't know.
What is this? He had them hidden back where I found him.
Looks like about £2.
000.
000.
Well, what do you bring it here for? Well, I thought we could use it.
For what? Well, I don't know.
For - Christ.
- What? Look, I understand you wanting to save your friend.
- This is something else.
- How is it something else? Because if were caught with it, were screwed.
Well, if were caught doing what were doing, were screwed in any case.
- This is different.
- How? - It just is, okay? - Yeah, but how though? Because this isnât what we agreed.
Because it's stolen.
Because the police are gonna be looking for it.
Because its £2.
000.
000 fucking pounds.
Are you really so stupid you can't understand why thereâs a problem? - Don't call me stupid.
- Oh, Jesus, why did I ever get involved? You got involved with me because you needed me, all right? Wait, but no, hang on a sec.
Were both benefiting from what we have here.
- All right? - Yes, but And also, youâd have a whole lot more to lose than me if we were to end it.
Am I wrong? - Still - No, forget about still.
Am I wrong? - No.
- Well, I'd appreciate youâd remember that the next time that youâre abusing me.
- Abusing you? - Calling me stupid.
Because, look, I can put an end to this arrangement any bloody time that you like.
All right, Iâm, uh Iâm sorry.
Iâm not gonna go spending it, if thatâs what youâre worried about.
Look, I just thought, better here than out there.
Thatâs all.
Fair enough.
So are you, uh You staying tonight? Yeah, still to, uh finish some stuff I was working on earlier.
Right.
How's that all going? Slowly.
Okay, well, uh, better get these out of the way.

But Jesus, I never thought it was something like this.

Iâm so sorry.
It's so hard to accept, you know? And to think that, all that time, she had that knowledge while we were indulging ourselves.
Was that what weâve been doing? Well, wasnât it? Yeah, I suppose it was.
I take it we wont be seeing each other for a while.

Same here.
No, I don't.
I don't.
Same here.

A car crash.
And there was a problem with the on-call surgeon for some reason.
Really? So I had to go in.
And you couldnât have just refused? Would you have preferred me to? No, probably not.
So how the rest of the day go? Well, I missed you, but it was good to see Granny and Grandpa.
Well, like we said, let's find a date to have lunch, and then we can have a chat about my All your recent elusiveness.
Yeah, amongst other things.
- I'll think about it.
- Fair enough.

But we're cautiously optimistic.
Okay.
Bye, sweetheart.
Bye, Dad.
What are they? I don't know.
What is this? He had them hidden back where I found him.
Looks like about £2.
000.
000.
Well, what do you bring it here for? Well, I thought we could use it.
For what? Well, I don't know.
For - Christ.
- What? Look, I understand you wanting to save your friend.
- This is something else.
- How is it something else? Because if were caught with it, were screwed.
Well, if were caught doing what were doing, were screwed in any case.
- This is different.
- How? - It just is, okay? - Yeah, but how though? Because this isnât what we agreed.
Because it's stolen.
Because the police are gonna be looking for it.
Because its £2.
000.
000 fucking pounds.
Are you really so stupid you can't understand why thereâs a problem? - Don't call me stupid.
- Oh, Jesus, why did I ever get involved? You got involved with me because you needed me, all right? Wait, but no, hang on a sec.
Were both benefiting from what we have here.
- All right? - Yes, but And also, youâd have a whole lot more to lose than me if we were to end it.
Am I wrong? - Still - No, forget about still.
Am I wrong? - No.
- Well, I'd appreciate youâd remember that the next time that youâre abusing me.
- Abusing you? - Calling me stupid.
Because, look, I can put an end to this arrangement any bloody time that you like.
All right, Iâm, uh Iâm sorry.
Iâm not gonna go spending it, if thatâs what youâre worried about.
Look, I just thought, better here than out there.

How's that all going? Slowly.
Okay, well, uh, better get these out of the way.
