Hi. Thanks.
Morning.
Sleep OK?
SHE PANTS
Have you got the money?
I'm sorry, I can't get it right now.
Wait.
Who are you?
And what the hell is THIS for?
Sorry.
Don't apologise. It's fine.
That guy Josh called you last night.
Yeah, I saw that. It's really weird.
Do you guys still talk?
Erm, we haven't in ages.
OK. Well, let me know
if he's bothering you.
The writ was issued this morning.
Congratulations. Thank you.
How are you feeling?
Excited.
Nervous.
The campaign launch is this week.
I'll...I'll make time for us. You're
the only one that keeps me sane.
Oh, here he is -
the man of the moment.
Hello, hello. Come sit.
PHONE RINGS
Oh, sorry.
Talk to me. Clarity. Yeah.
Yeah.
Can you do the poster
we talked about last week?
You have the campaign photo, right?
Yeah, yeah. OK, good.
I know, she's an absolute pig.
LIVIA LAUGHS
Mm. OK.
OK, great. Well, we'll talk later.
OK, thanks. Bye-bye. Bye.
OK, we've got a date.
It's really happening. Brilliant.
I'm going to start to put together
a schedule for the week.
Let me run a few things
past you. Sure.
Working towards the end
of the week...
TENSE MUSIC
Yeah, good idea.
You should talk to Nish, too.
He's got a list of party people
to add on.
I'll make sure I call Nish later.
Hey.
All right. See you.
I'm going to head off.
See you later.
PHONE RINGS
Yes?
No.
I literally don't care.
Maybe hummus?
OK. Bye.
Liv...
..are we OK?
Yeah, of course. Why wouldn't we be?
What's the matter?
Erm...
I took down a photo of me
from the work account.
Would you mind not posting
photos of me online? What?
The stalker, remember? Oh, for
God's sake. Sorry. Just delete it.
I have. Well, then, fine.
You know, I don't know how you
think you're going to manage
if you can't have any photos
of you anywhere.
You do realise there are going to
be photographers at the launch?
I just won't be in any
of the photos.
But you are dating
Elliot Fairbourne, so...
Are you sure we're OK?
I'm not over the moon, no.
No.
But I'm going to give you the
benefit of the doubt, so just...
Just let me get over it.
Erm, do you want me to do
the guest list for the launch?
I can take it off your plate, talk
to Nish. Yeah, that would be good.
Thank you.
OK, so they want plus ones for...
We've starred the ones
from the union list, the
councillors, the Chief Constable
and a couple of people
from his office.
Yeah, I think that's good.
Cool. Thanks.
How have you been finding it?
Yeah, it's awesome.
The start-up world's been
really fun, you know?
But the business
sort of runs itself now
and, yeah,... Are you excited
for the launch? It'll be great.
Yeah.
I just hope Elliot manages
to enjoy himself.
I think he finds those events
quite difficult.
It... It reminds him...
Yeah.
Did you speak to her that night?
Chloe?
Yeah. Yeah, of course.
You ask a lot of questions
about Chloe, don't you?
Really? Sorry.
Sorry.
Erm, I... I guess it's...
It's just been such a trauma
for Elliot. I want to support him.
Well, you scared him
the other night.
Disappearing like that.
He's a sensitive guy
and he's my best friend.
I don't like to see him get hurt.
PODCAST: Fritz Zwicky was the first
person to posit its existence
in the 1930s.

Hello. Hi.
Good day?
Yeah.
You? Mm. Good.
Nish told me you guys
had a nice drink.
Yeah. Speaking of which.
Do you want one? Yeah.
Erm, just...
My podcast's nearly done.
PODCAST: What sort of scale
are we talking about?
By our current calculations, we're
talking about five or six times
the amount of matter
that's currently accounted for.
So most of the universe is dark
matter? Mm. Yes, that's correct.
So, why exactly can't we see it?
Oh, well...
SHE LAUGHS
Erm, so, Natalia's in town tomorrow.
You know, my friend from Japan.
Oh, that's nice.
I'm very excited to meet her.
Erm, actually, I think she's got me
tickets for a gig.
But I can see how long
she's around for.
OK, sure. No problem.
Cheers.

Can I get a beer?
Oh, my God, Sasha!
Tara? Yes! Tara! Yes! Wow!
It's so random to bump into
you here. I know. Random!
Oh, my God, do you remember
the dinner? We met?
That night was the most awkward
night of my life.
It was so awful. Awful!
TARA LAUGHS
I was, erm... I was just going to
go and have a smoke.
Do you want to join me?
I don't smoke. It's bad for you.
Come on. Tara, we need a debrief.
OK, fine. Of the awful night!
I just don't think
we should have been there.
They were so deep in their grief.
Yeah. Erm, so, were you dating Nish
before she died?
We actually met the night
it happened.
Oh, my God.
So did you meet her that night?
No... No.
Nish talks a lot about her, right?
Yeah.
I never got why he hated her
so much.
Yeah... Yeah.
That's so weird.
What was THAT about?
He's got oblique energy.
He's got what?
He's always angry
at the wrong thing.
Maybe it's because he's terrified
that at any point
he's going to be thrown
off the ride.
I should get back in.
Who are you here with?
Just some friends.
Did Nish ever mention anything
about some money?
No. Or a chocolate box?
What? I just heard there was
something weird
about the chocolates that Chloe
brought Elliot that night.
I don't know what
you're talking about.
So Nish never mentioned anything?
I should go and find my friends.
Sure.
I hope you don't mind me saying...
..your energy is a bit oblique, too.
Have a good night.
I know everything about you
and I still like you.
Yeah, but it's different with you.
You don't judge.
You mean I'm your grimy friend
you can tell anything?
THEY LAUGH
I need coffee.
My head is pounding.
Overdid it a bit last night,
did we? A bit, maybe.
So, am I going to get a chance
to meet her, or...?
She's actually had to rush back
to London.
Shame.
How come?
Work.
Never mind.
Erm, I wouldn't go in there
if I were you.
Why? What are you hiding from me?
Just how truly messy I am.
I'll drive. You're not insured.
Oh, my insurance covers it.
You might still be over the limit
and with the launch on Friday,
I've just got to be careful.
I'm fine. Really.
I'll drive to the meeting
and then you can go on from there.
Come on. I'm going to be late.

Excuse me.
You all right there, miss?
You're not supposed to be...
Sorry. I need some help.
You're not allowed phones out.
Right... Right.
OK. Erm, do you know this person?
Oh, yeah. She used to come here.
Well... Did you ever chat to her?
No. But it was weird. She was the
one who would jump in the pool
and get straight back out again.
Why?
I'm really sorry but you're going
to have to... Right... OK.
She'd wait over there and then
a guy would come meet her.
He'd drop her back a bit later.
What did he look like?
Erm, long hair, handsome.
Posh but sort of dirty.

Hello. Lavinia Gardens Rehab Centre.
Hi. What are your visiting hours?
We accept visitors up to 5pm.
OK, brilliant. Thank you.
I'll see you soon.
Hey, El. Hello.
Is everything OK? Where are you?
Livia said you left Berkeley
45 minutes ago.
Hang on. Just give me a sec.
I thought you were at
a strategy meeting tonight
so I went for a swim. Where?
The one near us. Gardiner Park.
Oh, OK. I was just expecting
you to come home.
You didn't say anything
this morning.
No... No. Sorry, I forgot.
Erm, where are you?
I'm at home.
I was waiting,
getting worried about you. OK.
Sorry. Sorry. I'll be back
in half an hour.
Half an hour?! I thought
you were at Gardiner Park.
Yeah. I'm just drying my hair.
I'll be back soon.
Fuck.
I'm sorry. You got dinner.
I did.
I thought it would be nice, but...
..it's all cold now, so...
I must have misunderstood. I thought
you were working late tonight.
I was meant to be, yeah.
I managed to free dinner up.
Sorry. I'll heat it up.
You know, I really struggle
when I don't hear from you.
When I can't get through to you,
my mind goes...
..to the worst place, you know?
OK. Sorry.
I suppose you've forgotten we've got
dinner with Nish tomorrow night?
No. No, I've booked a table
at Bone.
You don't smell of chlorine.
TENSE MUSIC
No. Erm...
I showered.
TENSE MUSIC CONTINUES
I'm tired.
Goodnight.
Night.
Liv... Hiya, Richard.
I thought they said Livia.
I don't think so.
How are you?
What are you doing here?
I brought you something.
It's Chloe's diary.
There's lots in there about you.
Really?
Erm...
I need to ask you some questions.
Why?
You were picking her up
from the swimming pool.
And the last time was
a few days before she died.
Why the f... Why are you asking
these questions?
I'm just interested.
Do you want the diary or not?
Were you blackmailing her?
Are you fucking crazy?!
I'm not talking to you. Wait.
I knew Chloe.
I met her a few months before
she died. At the pool, actually.
I fucking knew I remembered you.
Yeah. We got on very quickly.
She was a good person and I think
she was in some kind of trouble.
Do you recognise this?
What is it?
She gave it to me a few days
before she died.
She told me to hold on to it
until she came and asked for it.
Don't you know what it's for?
No. That's what I'm trying
to figure out.
Erm...
Wait, wait.
What about Elliot? What...?
What are you doing...?
HE SNIGGERS
Fuck.
She spoke so highly of you.
You seem to be the only one
who really cared.
Yeah, I guess we...
We started hanging out...
..a lot...
..in her last few weeks.
What did you do?
I don't know. She'd...
She'd come over, we'd hang out.
She'd...
Sometimes she'd borrow my car.
To go where?
I don't know.
Why... Why didn't she use her own?
Because she didn't have one.
The medication she was on made
her drowsy so it wasn't safe.
So, were you fucking?
What?
No.
Me...
Maybe I wanted to.
And she...she...
She wanted something like that
from me. What do you mean?
She was unhappy. She...
I don't know.
So what happened in that last week?
Erm...
..she, erm...
She texted me the day before.
Yeah, saying? Saying...
She wanted to borrow my car again
and I was supposed to give her
my keys at Elliot's charity thing.
She borrowed it that night?
I didn't show up.
SHE PANTS
And you didn't know
where she was going?
Her parents? That's where
she ended up anyway.
She got a taxi.
Why didn't you show up?
I just... I forgot.
SHE SCOFFS
WHISPERING: Are you fucking serious?
Where's your car now?
It's at a garage in my flat.
I crashed it a few weeks ago
and I haven't had...
..the chance to pick it up.
Can I... Can I see her diary?
Oh, there's nothing in there
about you.
It's just appointments
and shopping lists.

Hi. Hiya, El.
Sorry. I... I... There's been
an accident on the motorway.
It's... Traffic's at a standstill,
but I will be with you as soon
as possible, promise. I'm sorry.
CHATTERING
Sorry.
It was a nightmare.
Where's Nish? He's in the loo.
There was no accident on the M32.
Oh, well, that's what it seemed
like. The traffic was insane.
Listen, if you're having
second thoughts,
now would be the time to tell me.
I'm not.
You're up for this?
What? Us, the campaign, everything.
Of course.
Can I trust you?
Hey. At last.
Sorry. Traffic.
Shall we get some drinks?
Sounds good to me.
So, we should talk about you guys.
Yeah. Liv and Ben think we should
keep the relationship under wraps,
at least until after the election.
Well, that makes sense, definitely.
There's a lot of interest from
the press guys around Chloe.
If they get a whiff
of a new relationship,
they'll be all over it.
After the election, if things go
your way, we plant the story then.
Say you two got close during the
campaign, etc. I hate it.
Look, we'll start the due diligence
check just to tee it all up.
On me?
It's just standard. Don't worry.
Just to get ahead of anything.
And then we can get it all out
in the open.
Right... Erm, I'm just going to
pop to the loo. Sure.
Shall we get the bill?

should have but I haven't.
So, do you know why she called you?
I don't know. I don't know why,
but I'm... I'm...
I'm going to figure it out.
I just need a few more days.
I've got a lead.
I get it, but you know
what I think, Becky.
I know.
Yeah, yeah, one second.
Sorry. Erm, is there
anything I can do?
I've got to go.

Hi.
You OK? What's wrong?
I've... I've been locked in.
What do you mean? I've been locked
in for, like, the last three hours.
I tried to call you loads of times.
So you did.
Sorry. Where were you?
Well, I had, erm...
..an early meeting
and then I went to the gym.
Where are your keys? I don't know.
Did you have somewhere to be?
I was going to go to yoga.
I thought Liv had the kids today.
Well, I booked a class on my own.
All right. Erm, where have you
looked? They must be somewhere.
I've looked everywhere. Have you
checked the key bowl? Obviously.
Always check twice.
I was going to make a frittata.
I've got some amazing cheese.
I'm going to yoga.
I thought you missed your class.
I'll go to the next one.
OK, but I'm making lunch.

Sasha?
Nish tells me you've been asking
lots of questions. What's going on?
Hm? Erm...
Sasha?! Erm... Erm...
From the beginning,
I've found her very intimidating.
And she was this incredibly
important woman in your life.
She...
She... She was perfect.
I... I just couldn't stop
thinking about her.
I... I know...
I know this sounds crazy but, erm...
But I almost felt like I...
I... I felt like I wanted to...
..be her.
ELLIOTT CLEARS HIS THROAT
First of all...
..she wasn't perfect.
Far from it, in fact.
Most of the time she was
her own worst enemy.
I tried.
I really...tried to help her.
Don't get me wrong,
I'm not saying I was blameless.
I let things slip.
But she wouldn't accept my help.
Sometimes I think...
..she enjoyed proving me wrong.
Don't hide things from me.
I just, erm... I just felt stupid.
Shall we make some lunch?
Yeah.
TENSE MUSIC
Erm, El, so, what about lunch?
Shall I...? Oh, erm...
Yeah. Sorry. I need to go
through that at some point.
Erm, yeah, why don't you
crack a few eggs

Listen, I don't think
you should come tonight.
I know you're not feeling
very sociable
and Liv is being a bit of a bitch
about the IVF stuff,
saying something about that
you can't be trusted with Noah,
doubting if you'll make a good mum.
I told her I didn't want to
talk about it.
Also, our kid won't be
such a nightmare.
Anyway, erm, I'll see you
at home later?
Call me to say you got this.
I love you.
Hey. Call me when you get this.
I just got home
and I thought you'd be here.
Chloe, you know I really struggle

When I can't get through to you,
my mind goes to the worst place.

OK, fine. Of the awful night!
I just don't think
we should have been there.
They were so deep in their grief.
Yeah. Erm, so, were you dating Nish
before she died?
We actually met the night
it happened.
Oh, my God.
So did you meet her that night?
No... No.
Nish talks a lot about her, right?
Yeah.
I never got why he hated her
so much.
Yeah... Yeah.
That's so weird.
What was THAT about?
He's got oblique energy.
He's got what?
He's always angry
at the wrong thing.
Maybe it's because he's terrified
that at any point
he's going to be thrown
off the ride.
I should get back in.
Who are you here with?
Just some friends.
Did Nish ever mention anything
about some money?
No. Or a chocolate box?
What? I just heard there was
something weird
about the chocolates that Chloe
brought Elliot that night.
I don't know what
you're talking about.
So Nish never mentioned anything?
I should go and find my friends.
Sure.
I hope you don't mind me saying...
..your energy is a bit oblique, too.
Have a good night.
I know everything about you
and I still like you.
Yeah, but it's different with you.
You don't judge.
You mean I'm your grimy friend
you can tell anything?
THEY LAUGH
I need coffee.
My head is pounding.
Overdid it a bit last night,
did we? A bit, maybe.
So, am I going to get a chance
to meet her, or...?
She's actually had to rush back
to London.
Shame.
How come?
Work.
Never mind.
Erm, I wouldn't go in there
if I were you.
Why? What are you hiding from me?
Just how truly messy I am.
I'll drive. You're not insured.
Oh, my insurance covers it.
You might still be over the limit
and with the launch on Friday,
I've just got to be careful.
I'm fine. Really.
I'll drive to the meeting
and then you can go on from there.
Come on. I'm going to be late.

Why?

Hey, El. Hello.
Is everything OK? Where are you?
Livia said you left Berkeley

Hang on. Just give me a sec.
I thought you were at
a strategy meeting tonight
so I went for a swim. Where?
The one near us. Gardiner Park.
Oh, OK. I was just expecting
you to come home.
You didn't say anything

No... No. Sorry, I forgot.
Erm, where are you?
I'm at home.
I was waiting,

Half an hour?! I thought

I did.
I thought it would be nice, but...

I must have misunderstood. I thought
you were working late tonight.
I was meant to be, yeah.
I managed to free dinner up.
Sorry. I'll heat it up.
You know, I really struggle

When I can't get through to you,

Liv... Hiya, Richard.
I thought they said Livia.
I don't think so.
How are you?
What are you doing here?
I brought you something.
It's Chloe's diary.
There's lots in there about you.
Really?
Erm...
I need to ask you some questions.
Why?
You were picking her up
from the swimming pool.
And the last time was
a few days before she died.
Why the f... Why are you asking
these questions?
I'm just interested.
Do you want the diary or not?
Were you blackmailing her?
Are you fucking crazy?!
I'm not talking to you. Wait.
I knew Chloe.
I met her a few months before
she died. At the pool, actually.
I fucking knew I remembered you.
Yeah. We got on very quickly.
She was a good person and I think
she was in some kind of trouble.
Do you recognise this?
What is it?
She gave it to me a few days
before she died.
She told me to hold on to it
until she came and asked for it.
Don't you know what it's for?
No. That's what I'm trying
to figure out.
Erm...
Wait, wait.
What about Elliot? What...?
What are you doing...?
HE SNIGGERS
Fuck.
She spoke so highly of you.
You seem to be the only one
who really cared.
Yeah, I guess we...
We started hanging out...
..a lot...
..in her last few weeks.
What did you do?
I don't know. She'd...
She'd come over, we'd hang out.
She'd...
Sometimes she'd borrow my car.
To go where?
I don't know.
Why... Why didn't she use her own?
Because she didn't have one.
The medication she was on made
her drowsy so it wasn't safe.
So, were you fucking?
What?
No.
Me...
Maybe I wanted to.
And she...she...
She wanted something like that
from me. What do you mean?
She was unhappy. She...
I don't know.
So what happened in that last week?
Erm...
..she, erm...
She texted me the day before.
Yeah, saying? Saying...
She wanted to borrow my car again
and I was supposed to give her
my keys at Elliot's charity thing.
She borrowed it that night?
I didn't show up.
SHE PANTS
And you didn't know
where she was going?
Her parents? That's where
she ended up anyway.
She got a taxi.
Why didn't you show up?

Where's your car now?

I'm not.
You're up for this?
What? Us, the campaign, everything.
Of course.
Can I trust you?
Hey. At last.
Sorry. Traffic.
Shall we get some drinks?
Sounds good to me.
So, we should talk about you guys.
Yeah. Liv and Ben think we should
keep the relationship under wraps,
at least until after the election.
Well, that makes sense, definitely.
There's a lot of interest from
the press guys around Chloe.
If they get a whiff
of a new relationship,
they'll be all over it.
After the election, if things go
your way, we plant the story then.
Say you two got close during the
campaign, etc. I hate it.
Look, we'll start the due diligence
check just to tee it all up.
On me?
It's just standard. Don't worry.
Just to get ahead of anything.

So you did.

Where are your keys? I don't know.

But I almost felt like I...
I... I felt like I wanted to...
..be her.
ELLIOTT CLEARS HIS THROAT
First of all...
..she wasn't perfect.
Far from it, in fact.
Most of the time she was
her own worst enemy.
I tried.
I really...tried to help her.
Don't get me wrong,
I'm not saying I was blameless.
I let things slip.
But she wouldn't accept my help.
Sometimes I think...
..she enjoyed proving me wrong.
Don't hide things from me.
I just, erm... I just felt stupid.
Shall we make some lunch?
Yeah.

Erm, El, so, what about lunch?
