[phone rings]
[voicemail] Hi, this is Cherry, leave a message and I'll call you back.
[beeps]
Hi Cherry, it's Laura, I'm on the way to the flat.
I... I really need to speak to you.
OK, uh, I'll see you soon.
[upbeat rock music]
What am I going to say?
Cherry, I know that this is going to come as a shock...
um... but I wanted to tell you in person.
Daniel... He's actually... he's made it.
And he's going to be OK.
[sighs] Oh, God.
[buzzer rings]
[sighs]
[tyres screech]

[music fades]
Hi, Laura!
-So sorry, have you been waiting long? -No, not at all.
[keys rattle]
Come in, come in.
Sorry, I didn't have time to tidy.
Just, make yourself at home.
Cup of tea?
Uh... no thanks.
[intriguing music]
Did Daniel stay here before the accident?
[Cherry] No, he'd only just got the keys.
Is this Daniel's laptop?
Yeah, I was just borrowing it. I've got his rucksack here and...
some of his post.
Are you sure you don't want a drink?
-Uh... no thanks. -Really? Nothing?
I'm fine, I'm fine. I just want to talk.
Could I show you what I bought?
You can tell me which one's right.
I think it's perfect but I just wanted you to see...
Cherry, can we...
just talk, first?
I'm sorry that I didn't reach out to you sooner.
Um...
these last couple of weeks have just been a blur.
And...
I want you to know I know how much Daniel means to you.
[Cherry] He meant everything to me.
-And I just need to tell you... -We were so happy.
Do you know he proposed to me?
[tense music]
Yeah, he... he wanted to marry me.
He told me just before the accident.
But you only dated for a couple of months.
He just knew.
So did I.
We'd have been family, Laura. It's what Daniel wanted.
Do you have a date for the funeral?
[music intensifies]
We already had the funeral.
What?
-It was small, private. -You can't do that.
We just wanted it to be family, Cherry. The same way it was with Rose.
Who the fuck do you think you are?
Get out!
[music fades]
[intriguing music]

Laura!
Don't make me break down this fucking door!
Laura! I know you're in there!
Laura, for fuck's sake!
You're not going to get rid of me, you fucking bitch.
[phone rings]
-[Howard] Hey, honey. -Hey!
-Everything OK? -Yeah, I was just thinking, um...
I don't want us bringing Daniel back to London.
But the doctors said he's good to go.
No no no, I was actually thinking,
What if we took him to Spain for his recovery?
-That's a bit soon. -No, I know, I know, but...
don't you think it will be good for us to have some time,
just the three of us?
Mum...
Yes, honey.
Dad and I are right here. You OK?
[Daniel grunts]
Did you manage to get hold of Cherry?
No, I, um...
tried calling her, and she didn't pick up.
She didn't call me back.
I don't understand, like...
Did I do something wrong?
What? No. You didn't do anything wrong.
Sweetheart, some people,
they just want to be around for the good times.
Did you get me a new phone?
You... you said you'd get me a phone.
Yes, of course I did.
I'll set it up for you, OK?
[kiss] Everything's going to be OK.

-[Howard] Gracias, Carlota. -De nada.
Oh, your physio comes in the morning! She's very good.
Apparently, she was Spain's Olympic Team therapist.
Oh!
You hear that, Daniel? You'll be pole vaulting in no time.
[she chuckles]
-I can do that. -That's OK, honey.
Mum, Mum! I can feed myself.
-How's the gallery? -Uh, good!
-All Riven's work sold in the end. -Oh.
And I'm pursuing this new artist called Jamal K.,
he's got a huge online following.
For fuck's sake...
Let me do it.
You'll get there, honey. You will get there.
Mum! Stop!
It's not that.

[sighs]
[coughs in the distance]
[music intensifies]
No, we flew out yesterday. It was a last minute decision.
-[Isabella] Gosh, that was quick. -Listen, Isabella, I need a favour.
Can you get Brigitte to just keep quiet about Daniel's recovery?
OK... but what do you mean, keep quiet?
I just... I just don't want everybody talking about him and hassling him.
Cherry still hasn't been in touch and he's just so depressed, you know?
That's awful, darling. We're all so worried about him.
I know, I know you're worried. Um, I'll keep you posted, I promise.
OK. Please do.
-Thank you. -Love you.
Love you too. Bye.

[Laura, on phone] I'm so sorry, Cherry, Daniel's gone. He died this morning.

-Can I help at all? -Hi, yeah.
Um...
I think this is right, it's hard to tell.
Who's it for? A partner?
Yeah.
His mum loves him in blue.
Blue eyes?
Mmm, the bluest.
[soft melancholic music]
Um... I'm so sorry, it declined. Would you like to try another card?
Yeah, of course.
Are you OK?
Yeah. Yeah, sorry.
-Yeah, that's perfect. -Great.
-There you are. -Thank you.
So, what's the special occasion? Is it a birthday? Wedding?
No, it's his funeral.
Yeah, he'll be buried in it.
God, I'm... I'm so sorry.
His family haven't let me be involved much, but...
I'm hoping I could at least choose what he wears.
[phone vibrates]
[voicemail] Cherry, this is Laura, I'm sorry I haven't returned your calls.
I'm on the way to the flat. I really need to speak to you.
Shit.
[tense music]
[car revs]
Ah, fuck.
-Do you want a cup of tea? -Uh, no, thanks.
We already had the funeral.
What?
Why didn't you call me?
Because you're not family.
I know it's hard, Cherry, but...
you need to move on.
Laura...
[door opens]
How could you be so fucking cruel?
[door slams]
[music intensifies]
[Cherry] Laura! I know you're in there!
Laura, I'm not going anywhere.
What the fuck, I just want to know where he's buried.
Please just talk to me.
[phone vibrates]
Hi Cherry, it's Laura.
Listen, I'm afraid you're going to have to move out of Daniel's flat
by the end of the month.
We're selling it.
[woman] OK Daniel... Good...
Good, one step...
-Then the next step. -[Howard] Where'd you find her?
[Laura] Carlota. I asked her to find the best and the prettiest.
-Ah! -[they chuckle]
Fastest way to heal a broken heart, though, right?
You're good.
I just can't get my head around Cherry's vanishing act.
I told you! You only see the good in everyone.
You say that like that's a bad thing.
Listen...
I don't think Daniel should live in that flat when we go back.
We need him to look forward.
That's up to Daniel. He might want to stay there.
Will you talk to him please? We can't have him living alone.
OK.
He'll listen to you.
Lift those knees! A little bit higher.
Agh! Fuck!
Fuck!
Do you need help?
No, I'm fine.
[Laura] Here, come to me.
Oh, sweetheart.
There you go.
[emotional music]
-I'm just exhausted. -I know, honey, I know.
-Just breathe. -Oh, I just want to...
-I just wanna keep my leg straight. -OK. I gotcha.
There you go. Just breathe, honey, breathe.
Ah, fuck.
I gotcha.
Bye, guys!
-[Daniel] Bye. -Bye Elena, thank you.
You're welcome.
[phone vibrates]
[adventurous music]
Fuck.
-You OK? -Uh... Yeah!
Um... How about I get us some snacks?
-Yeah, sounds good. -OK.
-You sure you're OK? -Of course.
[music intensifies]
There you are.
-Hey! -Hey.
Daniel's gone to bed.
I thought we could have some time with just us.
-Yeah? -Yeah.
I want you so bad.
[he moans]
[she breathes heavily]
[phone pings]
[tense music]
Stop!
-What's going on? -Stop.
Just, ahhh... Can you just give me a minute?
OK.
It's OK. I'll be right there.
[Daniel, in distance] Fuck's sake!

[phone rings, chatter]
Why are you always looking at such depressing places?
It's for a friend.
Do you hate your friend?
She's on a budget.

Is it? Ah... Don't know about that.
What?
Hm?
Do you know what?
You just... you do you, Cherry, it's all good.
Why are you so... Why are you so angry at me?
We're not exactly going to be friends after what you did to Daniel.
OK?
That wasn't my... That's not fair.
It's... it's broken me.
Babe, you really... You really look broken.
Look, I'm so glad that he's not here to see this.
Fucking tragic.

[Isabella, on phone] Brigitte ran into Cherry!
-Did they speak? -Barely.
She was drunk out of her skull, snogging her next victim, Brigitte said.
-You were right, she is on the prowl. -Where were they?
I don't want Daniel bumping into her, he'd be so upset.
He's doing so well right now.
Brigitte said that the club is near where Cherry works,
so just tell Daniel to avoid Chelsea like the plague.
OK, thank you, speak soon.

Governments aren't going to fix the housing problem.
They won't let the markets drop.
It's up to business entrepreneurs to become social benefactors,
like they did in the 19th century.
With my skills and contacts, and your investment,
we can take the parts of the city that need it most and transform them.
It's not a new idea.
No, but it's a good one.
All it needs is the passion to make it happen.
I have that passion.
I can see that.
Rich wanker foreigners better watch out.
It's an interesting move
seeing as your business plan requires several rich wankers.
Yeah. Yeah. It cost me my job.
But, speaking out grabs attention.
And maybe guys like you who live in luxury
need to start listening.
All right, let me speak to some of my people.
OK.
I assume you've talked to Howard about this.
Uh, no, I've not... spoken to Howard. Not since Daniel died.
Sorry, what did you say?
Uh, that I've... I've not spoken to Howard...
Sorry, I just thought you said Daniel had died,
and I was about to say Daniel Sanderson looks very much alive to me.
He's upstairs having lunch as we speak.
