Temple (2019–…): Season 2, Episode 1 - Episode #2.1 - full transcript

I've got Lancaster's, Daniel.

You might wanna give up, but I don't.

Now, I don't care how risky
or illegal it is, I won't.

If this doesn't work, I want you
to promise me you're gonna let me go.

All right, I promise.

Lee, this is Daniel Milton.

Tell me a little bit about
this private location you have.

I'm looking for a surgeon to perform a
procedure on an acquaintance of mine

who doesn't want to go
through normal medical channel.

Okay, I'll do it.
But I have a condition.

I'd need to store something
down here for a while.



And you're gonna
tell everyone she's dead?

- And he actually thinks he can cure her?
- Yeah. Or Anna can.

Beth hated me
for not doing what she asked me to.

- What's the alternative?
- Well, we know what the alternative is.

So tell me about this clinic
you've been working in.

There's nothing
to tell, really.

What... Oh, mate.

You need to have a think about
what you're gonna do with him,

because he can't stay here.

You idiot.

You need to be punished
for what you did to my Sebastian.

- She's not looking great.
- Her kidneys are failing.

No!

I can't have an operation.



You can if I perform it for you,
and you'll die if it doesn't happen.

I don't want that on my conscience.

Does that woman know
you've taken her kidney, Daniel?

- Oh, fuck!
- So where is he?

- No! Please!
- Shoot him!

So... is it today?

It is today.
How are you feeling?

Excited.

Me, too.

Thank you.

For what?

Well, not letting me die
and dumping me in the sea.

My pleasure.

This flat's like our second home.

Yeah.

- Why? Do you want to stay?
- Oh, no way.

I wanna go home.

So do I.

That's quite a story.

It's almost unbelievable. You're
not dead, so that's the main thing.

- No. Oh, yes.
- Yeah.

You're no longer missing, obviously,
'cause you're... right here.

Yes, that's right. I am.

Still must have been a bit of a shock,
having your wife, what was it...

"Knock on the door out of the blue
at 8 AM this morning"?

- Yes, it was.
- Sure.

But if I could just clarify,

so you went off to this cottage
to pretend to kill yourself

because you thought
you were dying?

Yes.

Isn't that slightly insane?

Yes, I guess it is.

Who knows how each of us
would respond, you know, to a...

terminal diagnosis.

Why didn't you look for her there?
I mean, it's your property, right?

- Yes, it is. And I did.
- Yeah, that's right. He... He did.

He didn't find you or...

No.

Because I... I hid.

You... You hid?

What, under the bed?
In a wardrobe? Or...

Yeah, sorry.
That sounded crazy.

No, I... I hid it on the beach.

"The beach..."

- So you had nothing to do with this?
- No.

- You're a doctor, right?
- A heart surgeon.

- You saved people's lives.
- Yes, I do.

Well, I... I try.

He's being modest.
He's a brilliant surgeon.

- At which hospital?
- St Simon's.

We're gonna need
to get them out of here.

- What about the tunnels?
- Yeah, maybe?

- Lee, keep it together.
- I killed someone.

Lee, it was self-defence.

- Jamie, make Lee some tea.
- Shall I make a pot or individual mugs?

Pot!

- I need to get that bullet out.
- Over here? Now?

- Yes.
- Oh, fuck, fucking fuck!

- Daniel?
- What?

- Daniel!
- What?

Get some water.

Water!

You happy in your work?

Yes, very.

- Did your wife have life insurance?
- No.

So no financial claims made
since her apparent death?

- None.
- No. You can check.

- You both happily married?
- Oh, yes. Very.

Absolutely.

There's no secrets or lies?
No other people involved?

No.

I don't think we should
see each other any more.

Right.

You think this is a good way to start
the rest of your lives?

We're violating her.

No, we're not. We're saving her
from being complicit in two deaths.

You're actually gonna tell her
she's been here this whole time?

The less people that know
about the bunker, the better, right?

Once Lee's finished clearing the place
out, we can forget it ever existed.

What will you do?

Move on.

- So, Lancaster's.
- Yes.

- You killed yourself?
- Yes.

After years of working on a cure,

you just happened to find it at
the very moment it would save your life?

Yes.

That was lucky.

Well, I think the change in my
environment lent a helping hand.

I'll say.

Living mostly in nature,
away from the stresses of life.

Not having me around,
for a start.

We'd all be better off if we were allowed
the time to step away now and again.

No... No news, no deadlines,
or sleepless nights.

Everyone should try it.

So you're completely
healthy now, then?

Oh, my God, Daniel.

I had to do it.
You would have died.

But how? Where?

- Here.
- Here, in this flat?

Yes, and until it's completely healed,
you need to stay here and rest.

You can't see Eve.

Where did you get it?

- Does it matter?
- Yes, Daniel. Of course it matters.

- All that matters is that you're well.
- Just tell me.

The hospital.
The transplant team helped me.

So it should've gone to someone else,
someone who needed it?

It did go to someone who needed it.
It went to you.

But I feel healthy.

But obviously I need
to get checked out properly.

Now you make sure you do.

Is that it? We can go?

Yeah. Good to go.

We did it.

- Just keep walking.
- Relax. It's fine.

- What was that about the beach?
- I don't know, it just came out.

Can we just go and get Eve now, please?

- We can't just turn up at the uni.
- I can't wait.

- Well, you'll have to.
- Why?

Because we need to prepare her.

God, how will I be able
to get through the day?

Yes, you will.

Go and have fun.
Go and enjoy being alive.

God, it's so weird.

- Good weird?
- Yeah, it's amazing weird.

Let's call her.

Hi, Dad. Can I call you back?
I can't talk right now.

Just making sure
you're okay for later.

Later?

Yeah, just checking,
you know that it's 5:00, not 6:00,

'cause I think, at some point,
we said 6:00?

- Yeah, fine.
- Where are you? You okay?

Yeah, I'm fine. I'm just...
I'm just running into lecture.

Eve, are you serious?

I've gotta go.
I'll see you later.

Is she all right?

Seems fine.

Are we ready?

We need to make sure
we drop it at the same time.

- Stop! Police!
- Fuck, we need to do it now!

- Shit.
- Eve, now!

Stop!

As for side transplants,

we'll provide the advancement
we've been working towards

for many, many years.

And this is an opportunity to be at the
forefront of a radical breakthrough

with minimal investment.

This is very interesting territory.

I agree.

But it's completely theoretical.

You have no data to demonstrate
the workings of your theory.

It's very much a shot in the dark.

- That's how breakthroughs happen.
- True.

Not quite.

Now, I was keen to meet you, out of
respect for your work with Beth Milton.

- But I was sceptical.
- I see.

As impressive as your presentation was,

I'm afraid I haven't seen anything today
to change my mind.

Ms. Willems.

I'm sorry for the disappointment.
I really thought she'd go for it.

Well, you were wrong.

Doors closed.

If you can prove this research
clinically on your own,

then I think
we can talk again.

- Prove it?
- Yes.

You mean a human trial?

Yes.

- Morning, Mr. Milton.
- Morning, Victor.

- Lovely morning.
- Beautiful.

- Busy day?
- Very.

- How's Eve?
- She's very well, thank you.

- And the mother?
- Wonderful.

Will you tell her I was asking after her?

- I will.
- Have a lovely day.

And you, Mr. Milton.

What?

Lovely.

Well done, Joe.

So... another hole
in aorta's been made.

You can sew
the top end of the graft.

Just here. Okay?

Phones off, please.

Right.

So, when we're done here,
then we can move on...

I'm sorry. Would you?

Kill the call, please.

So...

Excuse me.

Why're you calling me? I told you no
contact unless an absolute emergency.

It is an emergency.

- It's a catastrophe.
- Where are you?

I'm in the bunker.

- What?
- The bunker, okay?

- You have to come right now.
- Stay there.

I have to go.

So, Joe, would you mind doing
the second top end, closing up?

Good.

Lee?

Lee!

Daniel!
Through here. Quick!

This way.

Look.

I thought this was supposed to be
a foolproof plan.

I can't predict the weather, can I?
The water must've risen or... something.

Then why didn't you just
get out of here like I said?

What? Now?
Why would I do that?

- We need bolt cutters to cut it free.
- And why did you call Anna?

Why wouldn't he call Anna?
Lee, do you have bolt cutters?

Yeah. I'll go and get some.

- What?
- Can't you see how vulnerable he is?

We tried that before.
It's not gonna work. It's stuck.

- It's not caught on the chain. Look.
- So what is it caught on, then?

Hang on, what's this?

Here we go.

Stuck on something down here.

- What are you doing?
- Well, it's clearly a two-person job.

No, no, no, it's okay.
I've got it.

- Fine.
- Besides, you're all dressed up.

Yeah, I had a breakfast date.

Sonar and other manmade
underwater noises

may contribute
to the beaching of whales.

Sonar is used by military
to detect submarines.

Shit!

So did you tell her yet?

- Who?
- Beth.

Did I tell her what?

That I was the one
who came up with a cure.

What? No. No, I haven't.
Not yet. No.

- Well, you need to.
- Yeah, I will.

- I will.
- I want to get on with my life.

- I need to rebuild my career.
- Don't you think I want that too?

Quick, quick.
Someone's coming.

Quick.

The climate crisis has seen
a plague of mosquitoes

arrive on the British mainland...

What the hell have you
been doing down here?

Have you been out at all?

What about Jamie?
Did he make it out of London?

- Not exactly.
- What do you mean, not exactly?

- He's gone to hand himself in.
- What?

And you let him?

How could I stop him? He couldn't
handle never seeing his little boy again.

Well, that's it.
You can't stay here.

- I am staying here.
- After what's just happened?

- Are you completely insane?
- No, look, calm down.

- Nobody can get down here.
- They just did!

Look... I'm blocking it all off. Yeah?

There's only one way in and out,
and it's totally impossible to find.

Lee, this is crazy.
Just leave.

Why the sudden concern?

You weren't so bothered when
you just fucked off.

- You told me to fuck off.
- What's that got to do with it?

Everything.

Why is everything so elementary
with you?

What are you talking about?

I'm talking about the complexities
of human relationships.

Lee, you categorically told me

you never wanted to see
my patronising fucking face again.

Forgive me for not popping down
for a cup of tea.

But that's what
friendship is.

What, ignoring someone
when they tell you to drop dead?

- Yes!
- Right.

- Okay, I didn't realise.
- Well, now you know.

But in the future,

when a friend tells you to fuck off 'cause
they're feeling betrayed and used,

you don't just stay away,
you try and make amends!

Okay.

Okay.

Now let me take a look at that foot,
please, it's bleeding.

I can do it.

Bye, Lee.
We'll come to see you soon, okay?

Thanks for that stuff
you brought down last time.

Yeah, no worries.

See you later.

I can do it.

So you and Anna have
seen each other since...

well, before today?

Yeah, we've been
supporting each other.

She doesn't think it's a bad idea
coming down here?

Well, maybe.
But she comes anyway.

Because she's a good friend.

Well, you two might think it's okay
to be down here, but I don't.

I'm sorry if you think
that makes me a bad friend.

So, what? You're never coming
down here again, then?

Lee, the plan was
for none of us to be down here.

Guess that means we won't see
each other again, then.

Yeah, I guess it does.

You want some dry clothes?

- I still can't believe it.
- Alive and well. I know.

I guess I'm gonna have to get used
to some extreme reactions.

Yeah. A resurrection
doesn't happen every day.

So, what are we doing?

I don't know.

Maybe shorter?
Something different.

- Proper gear, that is.
- Proper, as in?

Top gear.
None of your cheap, shitty stuff.

Well, thank you.

I appreciate it.

It's just here.

This is the only way home.

Now, you turn left at the top,
walk for about 10 minutes,

then you'll come to a gate.

- When you come back down...
- I won't be coming back down.

- If you do.
- I won't.

I just hope it stays up long enough
for people to see it.

Yeah.

What we really need is more radical,
inventive actions, you know?

Yeah. Like what?

I don't know.
Why don't you come up with something?

Me? No.

- I've only been to a handful of meetings.
- So?

- You're committed, aren't you?
- Yeah.

Or are you gonna take up a new hobby
next week and disappear?

- No.
- Yoga. Pilates. Helping the homeless.

- Come on, Ash.
- No, it happens.

One week, it's all guns blazing,
and next, it's...

I'm totally committed.

Cool. Come up
with something, then.

Yeah? All right. I'm late for work.
I'm gonna see you later. All right?

God, I love it.
Thank you.

So, when's the
"welcome back from the dead" party?

- I need to see Eve first.
- You haven't seen Eve yet?

- No. I didn't wanna drag her out of uni.
- She's left.

- She's left?
- Eve's left university.

Sorry. I thought you knew.

- Beth.
- Daniel?

- Why didn't you tell me?
- Tell you what? What do you mean?

About Eve.
The hairdresser just told me.

- She's left uni.
- Of course she hasn't.

Yes, she has, weeks ago.
Have you even been in contact with her?

Of course I have.

- When was the last time you saw her?
- I see her all the time.

- Yeah, well, it doesn't sound like it.
- Oh, thank God. Mr. Milton.

I have to go. What's happened?

One of the girls from the cafe just
collapsed. Excuse me. Just a second.

Okay, people, bit of space, please.
Mr. Milton will take it from here.

I'm so sorry. This is ridiculous.
They're giving you a bed now.

Has this happened before?

- Yeah.
- Well, why didn't you call me?

- I have another doctor now.
- Where, here?

Hughes explained everything to me.

I'm sicker than before.

We'll sort it out for you,
I promise.

I know what you did.

What do you mean?

The kidney.

- Look, I don't know what you think...
- I don't think.

I know.

I can explain.

And I won't be taken
advantage of any more.

I want money.

- Sorry, what?
- I want money.

For my kidney.

- I don't have any money.
- And I don't have my kidney.

I don't have friends and family.

And I don't have
the means to get home.

No... I get it. I get it.

I'll bring you some cash.

No.

Not like that.

- I don't understand.
- I want money. The price of my kidney.

- That's...
- Fifty thousand.

That... Yeah,
that's not possible.

What is that place
you took me to?

And how many more people
have you done this to?

What? No. No one.
No. You're the only one.

I want my money by tomorrow.

Or I'll tell my story to everyone.

Everyone.

It's today.

More light, please.

I'm sewing the top end of the graft.

Oh, shit.

Clamp.

Suction, please.

Look, we need
to get him on bypass now.

Out of the way.

I just think we need to focus
on stabilising...

- I think I know what we need to focus on.
- But if we don't regulate...

Just step away now!

Yeah, it's awful. We...

We shouldn't have allowed you back
to work so soon after Beth's death.

- He was undermining my authority.
- He was doing his job.

Well, he overstepped the mark.

Daniel, your colleagues
are worried about you.

- They needn't be.
- I'm worried.

I have a duty of care.
Since Beth died...

Look, why do you
keep mentioning Beth?

Daniel.

I like to think that we've always been
fair and supportive following...

your recent
personal circumstances.

However, your conduct today leads me
to believe that you're not fit for work.

This is ridiculous.

You left theatre
this morning to make a call.

You made a near-catastrophic
error just now.

You delayed putting a patient
straight on to bypass and...

frankly, you're dressed
very strangely.

Oh, for God's sake.

I'm suspending
you until further notice.

You're what? No, no, no.
No, no. You can't do that.

You've left me no choice.

Why, what're you gonna do?
You're gonna have me thrown out?

Mr. Milton, I'm so sorry... but I'm afraid
I'm gonna have to ask you for your pass

You're back.

Suzana knows about the kidney.

Oh, God.

- She wants £50,000.
- Oh, fuck!

I... need your help.

- We need to do some jobs.
- Jobs?

- Jobs?
- Surgeries, yes.

Here. I can't see any other way.

But we can't bring anyone down here,
you said so yourself.

Well, what else can we do?

- What about that guy?
- What guy?

That guy.

- The guy?
- Yeah.

We said we'd have
nothing to do with him.

- It's not right, you know?
- What do you mean, not right?

I mean, it's not right.

Would you know any other guy
who can get us £50,000 just like that?

Yeah, but him? Really?

I don't know. I...

I mean, that guy just seems big, right?
That is a big thing to do.

Call him.

- Now?
- Yeah.

Shit, I have to go.

Call him now.

Dad.

- What are you wearing?
- Well, I'm...

- I'm so sorry I'm late.
- It's fine.

Should we go home before you're
arrested for wearing that outfit?

Would you mind if we took
a little walk first?

- And you didn't know?
- No.

I mean,
not until this morning.

So... So she...

Right now...

she's waiting for me?

She is, yes.

Are you sure
there's not been a mistake?

You can't have been there
two months.

I see.

You were definitely only there one week.

Yeah. Thank you. That's great.

You ready?

Sweetheart?

Where is she?

Dad?

Mum.

Oh, darling.

So you wanna work?

I do, yes.

You're four minutes late.

Am I?

I don't do lateness.

- No, but the guy at the reception...
- All excuses.

No. Right.

I apologise for my lateness.

I need absolute confidentiality.

I understand.

Total discretion.

Of course.

And impeccable timing.
