Temple

Take a look at this.

- This is a really big step, right? - Yeah.

Lee? Fancy grabbing a coffee or something later maybe?

- I really miss her, Lee. - Put this in your bag now.

He'll text.

Her hand went to her mouth like she was surprised or...

- Moved. - Moved, yeah.

- Try being polite. - You're joking, right?

Who are you?

We wanted to ask you about Jamie Harris.

I don't know where she lives. I know where she works.

Hey.

Weird how grief affects us in different ways.

I can't think about her enough. I carry her letter with me everywhere.

Your patient's right on the verge of stage-five renal failure.

Do you know where the organs come from?

It costs money. Big money.

- I don't care. - You don't care?

All I want is a number. My only alternative is to let her die.

I'm not gonna do that. She's my wife.

And his reaction as the statue comes to life is one of disbelief.

Then, as it begins to sink into him and to us that this is really happening,

the scene becomes, I think you will all agree, unbearably moving.

I don't think it's moving.

- No? - No, I think it's confusing.

Why do you think it's confusing?

What, so she'd been hiding all this time?

- How long for? - Sixteen years.

What, so she's just hiding and waiting to play this trick? That's stupid.

Or is she actually dead, like they said,

in which case, what, did Paulina resurrect her?

Well, she is older though.

What?

- She aged. - So it was a trick then.

- No, it wasn't a trick. - That's ridiculous.

I think it's wonderful, actually.

- Yeah, and... - So magical.

Right, and I'm not sure it's meant to be taken literally.

Well, that's just a cop-out.

- Why? - Well, can we just move on, please?

- Well, I'm trying to... - Please?

I'm trying to ask a question.

So for the last 16 years, she's led the king to believe that she's dead,

allowed him to suffer this horrendous grief,

so that, one day, she could pretend to be a statue that comes to life

to, what, see how surprised he is? That's a horrible thing to do.

I think it's wonderful.

- Well, I suppose... - It's so poetic.

In order for the play to make sense, we...

No, it's horrible. Also, how the hell...?

Jesus, all right.

- You've had your bloody moment. - Excuse me?

- Can we move on, please? - I'm trying to make a contribution.

No, you're not. You're looking for attention.

- Attention? - Yeah. I know your type.

- My type? - All right, ladies.

No, what's my type?

Someone who needs to cause a commotion to get the spotlight.

What? What the fuck have I done to you?

You've bored me shitless

for what feels like the past 20 minutes, trying to make this all about you.

Come on, Eve, where are you going? Sit back down.

- Come on, it's just a discussion. - Eve!

Eve, stop it!

- Dr Milton? - Professor Kirby.

- Nice to meet you. - And you.

Eve's an adult, and as such, she is responsible for herself.

But I'm very fond of her.

I just didn't want what's been going on

to continue without at least reaching out.

You know, as I said, it's not the first such incidence.

Well, I appreciate you contacting me.

Now, I know you've both suffered a loss recently.

- Yes. - My condolences.

Thank you.

How's she been about it?

- Well, obviously, it's been tough. - Of course.

I thought she'd been dealing with it pretty capably.

We can all be experts at disguising how we really feel inside, can't we?

- We can. - Even to ourselves.

Well, I can't deny I've been more than a little distracted myself lately.

Well, perhaps that might be something worth doing something about.

Hi, sweetie. Hi, it's me. I was just wondering how you are really.

Whether you might want...

Hang on, I think this is you.

Hello?

- Do you know who this is? - I think so.

Meet me at Norland Square, Holland Park, 40 minutes.

Forty minutes, OK. Have you...?

It's a four-antigen match?

That's right.

OK, that's pretty good.

Pretty good? I think it's excellent.

Especially given how quickly we got it for you.

So when can I pick it up?

Well, let's not get too far ahead of ourselves.

- There is some other news too. - Which is what?

- The price has doubled. - What?

We have a second buyer who's willing to pay a hundred,

so unless you can come up with another 50...

- A second buyer? - I know, I know. We're just like buses.

Come on, we had an agreement.

Which, due to increased market demand, has changed.

But we're still giving you first refusal, so...

you should be grateful as well.

Now, the purchase needs to be made by 4.00 this afternoon.

After that, the kidney goes to the other buyer.

By 4.00?

We'll be waiting to hear from you.

Go on, boy.

- Congratulations. - Oh, thank you.

- When are you due? - Ah, November.

- Boy or a girl or prefer not to know? - Prefer not to know.

- Yeah. Let it be a surprise? - Mm. Exactly.

You can try that on if you like.

Oh, I don't know. Does it come in any other colours?

I doesn't, I'm afraid. But I like the pink.

Yeah, I do too. But I just... not sure if it's me, you know?

Tell you what, what time do you close?

- Six. - OK. I'll think about it and come back.

- Will you be here then? - No, I finish at three.

- Right. Thanks for your help. - That's all right.

- Shall I put it back or...? - No, I can take it. Bye.

What about the Plymouth investment?

Seven working days.

My pension, I could dig into that.

They don't allow that, Daniel.

Why do you need the money so quickly anyway?

You don't have a gambling problem or something, do you?

What? No. No, no, no.

Well, the best you can do, as I said, is go to the bank and withdraw the...

11,000 you have left in there.

- But that still leaves me short. - Yes.

By quite a bit.

Twenty-two.

Twenty-two? You're joking.

Twenty-two's all I've got if it's cash you want.

- It's worth 30. - I haven't got 30.

Well, 26 then.

Look, how much did I say it was all I had?

All right, fine.

Hello, Michael?

No, that's OK. I was just wondering

whether you'd have five minutes for a cup of coffee, by any chance.

Great.

No, I'll come to you.

Daniel.

Hey, Michael.

How are things?

They're OK.

Well, it's, it's still pretty tough.

- Yeah, yeah, of course. - But, I'm getting there.

Well, you've been sorely missed, mate.

I appreciate that.

Come on.

I don't know, I suppose it was Beth's passing that started it.

At first, the amounts were modest enough, you know, five, ten pound bets.

That sort of thing. But then...

of course, as time went on, they got bigger and bigger until...

Are you... are you getting help or what?

Yeah, I just spoke to someone who can get me into a programme.

Right, well, that's a start.

It is.

It is. But, in the meantime...

I have a slightly more urgent problem.

Which is what?

Well, I lost some money recently.

Right.

And I have to pay it back by the end of today.

Ooh, how much?

Twenty thousand pounds.

Oh, right, and of course you called me.

Well...

Look, shit, Daniel, listen.

- I would if I could. - You can't?

- No, I'm skint. - I thought you had, an inheritance or...

Well, no, Jenny did.

There was complications with Revenue. They've frozen the payment.

- Shit. - Isn't there anywhere else

that you can get it?

There might be.

Dr Milton.

- Hi, Suzanna. - Hi. Do you have a minute?

Sure.

I haven't been very well lately.

I feel quite tired all the time,

and I am worried this could be a sign of something serious.

Not necessarily. But if you're worried, you should get yourself checked out.

Yeah, could you do that?

- Me? - Yeah.

Well, no, your GP would probably be more appropriate.

I can't see a GP.

- Why not? - Well, because there are certain details

I can't have people know.

Things that I would have to disclose or tell.

- Personal details? - Yes.

If I go to a doctor. Whereas if you were to see me without...

- Without asking for them. - Yes, as a personal favour.

Please.

You've always been so kind, so I thought...
