The first 200 lines.
I want you to promise me that you're gonna let me go.
I promise.
- Do you regret what we did? - No, I don't.
- Calm down. - Ahh!
I really miss her, Lee.
If he surfaces, she'll probably be the first person he'll visit.
I have another idea.
It's not, you know, strictly by the book.
Who are you?
He was wearing a hat with "Whitesnake" stitched on it.
"Whitesnake"?
This vial is no good to me anymore, so you might as well take it with you.
Thank you, doctor.
Does that woman know you're taking her kidney, Daniel?
Look, the very fact I got involved with you in the first place
should have told you how far I was prepared to go.
Thank God.
Hi, this is Anna. Please leave a message after the beep.
Listen, I was wondering if you could call me back as soon as you get this.
It's pretty urgent.
- Is Lee around? - No, he went to collect his van.
- OK. - Daniel, I couldn't have a word
- ...with you a second, could I? - Well, I...
- Just a quick one. - Make it quick.
OK, so with everyone suddenly leaving,
I'm sort of confused as to what to do next.
- Uh-huh. - I mean, you'll be leaving soon, right?
- Yeah, I suppose. - So, what should I do?
Do I stay down here? Do I hand myself in?
- You know I have a new daughter? - Yeah, of course.
So seeing her is also something I need to think about.
Listen, have you spoken to Lee about any of this?
Well, I tried to, but...
- Was that you? - No.
Oh, great.
Lee got it for me.
I only use it for texts, never calls, and only with Michelle.
Listen, Jamie.
I really need to go. Can we have this conversation later?
Sure.
Look, since you do have a phone, could you do me a favour?
- All right. - Keep an eye on Beth
and the other patient in there.
Call me, or... text me if their condition changes in any way.
- Cool. - Let me give you my number.
- How long will you be? - Uh... about an hour.
- And we'll talk then? - Sure.
- Also, Daniel? - Yeah?
Don't tell Lee about the phone, please. Is that all right?
OK.
Oh...
- Hey. - Hey.
- What are you doing here? - Collecting my van.
- How's the hand? - OK.
So listen, no hard feelings about the job, hey?
You're gonna look back one day and see this more as a blessing rather...
Just fuck off, you condescending fucking twat!
Hey.
Jack.
How are things?
Oh, yeah, yeah. No, not bad.
Listen, I'm sorry to disturb you so early,
but I've been trying to get in touch with Anna.
- She isn't here, mate. - OK.
Do you have any idea where she might be?
Come in.
It's tough, you know? Four years.
I'm sorry to hear that, Jack.
You know, I found out she hadn't been going to work,
and she wouldn't tell me why, or...
...what she'd been doing in the meantime.
Right.
I don't know.
So I assumed an affair, although she denied that.
Well, it's no wonder she's not answering her phone.
What was it anyway?
Oh, just something I wanted to ask about Beth.
Shit, sorry. That's my boss.
Ed.
Yeah, I know, it's...
It's a pretty bad one, actually.
Bloody cold sweats and everything.
- What are you doing? - Huh?
- What the hell are you doing? - Oh, I was just looking for milk.
In the freezer?
- Uh... - What were you looking for in there?
- Is this what you're looking for? - Uh, no.
What then?
OK, yes. It's a treatment Anna was holding for me.
Well, why couldn't you have just said that?
- Well... - So you've been in contact with her?
- Anna? - Yes.
- So you know where she's been? - No.
- But she's been with you? - What?
- Fucking you. - Jesus, Jack.
- Fucking you. - God, no!
Well, what then?
Jack...
Christ, you're as bad as she is. Get the fuck out of my house.
- OK, but look, can I have it? - What?
- The vial. - Are you kidding?
Jack, you have no idea how important that is.
Get the fuck out of my house, I said, before I call the fucking police.
And when do you think you'll go back?
- To work? - Yeah.
- Soon enough, I'd say. - Do you think you're ready?
Don't know.
Who's that?
- Hello? - Hi, is that Chloe?
Yes.
I told you, it's nothing like that.
You've already had an affair with the guy,
and you've already lied to me about him.
- I didn't lie. - What did you do then?
I just didn't mention him.
- Anna. - What?
- I don't like him. - I know.
I don't care if he's lost his wife.
I don't like that you go running to him the moment he clicks his fingers.
I can't help it if he turns up at your door.
I can still tell him to piss off, though.
I just need to know what it is he wants.
- Why? - I just do.
You're under his fucking spell is what it is.
I can see it, Anna.
Uh...
"God, I'd do anything to see her, to see you."
- All right, do it now. - Sure?
Yeah, come on. That's as good an opening as we're gonna get.
OK. Uh, "Well...
what if there was a way you could?"
- Winky face. - Yeah.
"What do you mean?"
Oh.
Well, I couldn't get hold of you, so I had to try there.
And then he... then he invited me in, so...
So he knows?
Well, only that it's me you've been spending the time with.
Yeah, right.
I mean, why didn't you answer my calls?
I don't want to be a part of this anymore.
You said you were done.
- I know I did. - That you'd let her go.
I know, but look, then I got a call from this woman and...
Daniel, don't you think you've taken this far enough?
I mean, where is this gonna end?
Well, we're at the end.
The transplant's happened. The kidney seems to be taking.
I just need this one last favour.
Please.
Anna.
After this, I'll never ask you for anything again.
I promise.
So who's it for?
Someone who's ill.
- Who? - Just someone.
And this is what you've been doing all the time you've been out of work?
Yes.
Why?
Because...
- Because he needed me to. - And is he why you're leaving?
No.
He isn't?
- I'm leaving because... - Why?
Because I'm just not happy anymore.
Answer me something, will you?
What?
- Have you slept with him? - Oh, Jack.
Have you?
- Some time ago, I did, yes. - When?
Does it matter?
- Well, more than once? - Yes.
I'm sorry.
Did you get it?
Ah! Ahh.
Jamie!
- So you're gonna take it and... - Yeah.
- And hide it where? - Well, I don't know yet.
But when this place is discovered, which it will be,
then it's gonna be discovered.
Better it stays accessible for us than someone else. Am I right?
I mean, who's to say we couldn't regroup at some stage?
See if it can't be laundered or...?
- You know? - Right.
You could build a new shelter.
- The fuck? - What is it?
- Who's been in this? - I don't know.
There's about 30, 40 grand gone here.
- It wasn't me. - Jamie.
- Seriously. - What's going on?
Lee, what's up?
- What did you spend it on? - Sorry?
What did you buy with the money you took?
- I don't know what you're talking... - What did you spend it on?
It was that kidney, wasn't it?
- No. - You fucking liar.
- Lee. - You liar.
Don't you know that there are consequences for what you do?
For everyone around here.
- No, hang on a minute. - Don't you realise the danger...?
