The One (2021–…): Season 1, Episode 6 - Episode #1.6 - full transcript

[doorbell buzzes]

[doorbell continues buzzing]

James Whiting, I'm arresting you
for the murder of Ben Naser.

- You serious?
- You don't have to say anything,

but it may harm your defense...

It wasn't me. I didn't kill him.

Anything you say may be given in evidence...

It was Rebecca, okay? I can prove it.

[Nick] He says he's got the top
Rebecca was wearing at the party.

Okay, I'll check it out.

[exhales]



[door closes]

Hope you don't get carsick.

Last guy I arrested puked.
Absolutely stunk.

- [grunting]
- [groans]

You want some breakfast?

Fabio still isn't answering his phone.
Do you think I should call the hospitals?

Connor can do that. He knows people.

I'll be back as soon as I can.

Okay.

[door opens]

Give us a minute.

Having Matheus here is just as big a risk
as having Fabio around.

Other people get to be with their match,
but I don't?

They get to be happy?



That's just the way it is for some people.

I need this.

Matheus won't tell anyone
what happened with Ben.

He wouldn't do that to me.

And if he finds out about Fabio?

Well, like you said...

Fabio probably
wouldn't have made it anyway.

I told him that you'd call the hospitals
to look for Fabio.

Just in case he asks.

[engine starts]

[James] There's a safe
in the bedroom upstairs.

[Nick] Go on, then.

Three, fifteen, sixty-two.

Oh, you'd better call your lawyer.
Get him to meet you at the station.

Don't do anything stupid.

Like jump out the window.

You've got my SIM card.

Hey, you've got my SIM!

[door closes]

[sighs]

Look on the bright side.
At least you're not going to prison.

I like the view.
I didn't know you had a flat in London.

Yeah. Yeah, I, uh...
bought it when I left the company.

Only stayed here a few nights. Didn't...
I wanted to get out of the city.

I remember this.

You bought it at that craft fair.
I was jealous that you saw it first.

[James] You want it?

Seriously?

Fill your boots.

I assume that Damien told you
we were going to water down your shares.

Going to hang it in my bathroom.

Why would you screw me like that?

Vanity, ego, greed. Take your pick.

So why didn't you go through with it?

You're my best friend.

You told him to shoot me.

Yeah, I knew he wasn't going to do it.
Don't be so dramatic.

You know you're insane?

I care about you.

Yeah, of course you do.

When you left, you told me to delete
your DNA from the match database.

[James] Hmm.

I didn't.

Four months ago, you were matched.

Her name's Yasmiin. She's Somali.

She has a three-year-old daughter
called Aisha.

Why are you telling me this?

To prove to you that I care about you.

By matching me behind my back,
and throwing it in my face?

Fighting broke out near her village.
People were being killed.

She fled to a refugee camp,
but then that camp was attacked.

What happened to them?

Tell me.

They're safe. I got them out.

They're in the UK now.

Does she know?
Does she know I'm her match?

She thinks she's part of a refugee program
sponsored by the company.

We brought over 50 others
to make it look legit.

This is... This is insane. This is just...

- I emailed you photos...
- I don't want to hear anymore.

She's beautiful.
Her daughter is very cute.

What is this supposed to achieve?

- It's a gift.
- Oh, it's a gift?

- It's a gift from me to you.
- Okay.

It's the best gift I could give you,
you ungrateful prick.

Despite everything you said
about not wanting to be matched,

I knew that one day
you might change your mind

and then it would be too late.

Your match would have been slaughtered
or died of cholera in some squalid camp.

I wanted you to know what it was like
to really love and be loved.

I did it for you.

Yeah.

[scoffs]

Yasmiin works in our IT department.

[laughs]

You're welcome.

I'll see you at the board meeting.

You just...

You think you can manipulate everyone
into doing what you want.

Yeah, I am manipulating you,
but I also want you to be happy.

Oh, fuck you, Rebecca.

What can I do?

I told you what you can do.
But you don't want to do it.

I'm not going to stay at my mom's.

Well, there you go.
You should do what you want.

What else can I say?

I want you to say
everything's going to be okay.

Look, I've got a meeting.

Are you going to see her?

I'm going to meet my accountant.
You want to call him? Call him.

No. I'm sorry.

Mark?

[door slams]

[cell phone vibrating]

Charlotte, how are you?

Good.

I have a meeting.

You know I can't support you tomorrow.

[sighs] You don't have to explain.

It doesn't mean I don't want you to win.

When all this is done and Rebecca is gone...

we should go for a drink.

We should.

- See you at the board meeting.
- Good.

[Mark grunts]

That story you gave me...
I didn't expect that.

I guess you've got your reasons.

Well, I hope you did well out of it.

I did okay.

This needs to come out at the exact time.
It's all in there.

You didn't get a KeepCup for your coffee.
You said you were going to.

I haven't got around to it.

You're one of those people
who needs everything doing for them.

[door closes]

You don't have to go.

Sophia doesn't want me here.

I think she doesn't want me
talking to you.

I asked her.

Whether her father
was ever violent towards her.

What did she say?

She was appalled
that I'd think that of him.

She said he'd never hurt her.

Why did she tell us she had no family?
That her father was dead?

She wouldn't talk about it.

When she doesn't want
to talk about something, it's impossible.

You may not get the truth.

I, um, need to go to work.

- I feel guilty.
- No. You shouldn't.

I hope you make her happy. I couldn't.

[Mark] Hi. Yes.
I'm waiting for results for a biopsy.

Yeah, Mark Bailey.

Yeah, I'll hold.

[on-hold music playing]

[cell phone ringing]

I'm on hold.

Yeah, I know that this was all my fault.

It was such a stupid thing to do,

but I only did it
because I was scared of losing you.

[sighs] Hannah...

I am going to go to my mom's.
That's not me giving up.

You know how much I hate
staying at my mom's.

I just wanted to show you

that I'm willing to do anything
to make this right.

Look, I just... I just need some time.

Okay.

I love you.

Bye.

Oh, shit.

[sniffles]

[crying]

[door closes]

- [sighs]
- [kisses]

Did Connor call round the hospitals?

Yeah. He called all of them.
Fabio's not been admitted.

- That's something.
- Hmm.

[kisses]

Maybe I was wrong to worry.

You should try and eat something.

The food is disgusting.
I would not serve it to a pig.

[Kate laughs]

I will bring you some food.

Have you spoken with my brother?

[Kate sighs]

He doesn't understand
why you won't speak to him.

I have already told you.

He's... not a part of my life.

Why?

Because that's how I choose it to be.

I would not ask you all these questions
about your family.

But you can!

[sighs] I am only interested in you.

Whatever happened,
it won't change how I feel about you.

Do you think I'm lying to you?

I just want to forget.

I am tired. Maybe you should go.

I know something happened.

[shakily] You should go. Please.

What happened to the guy with the placard?

Maybe he got bored.

[woman typing]

[man] David.

Do you want to come through?

David.

[David] Have they told you
when I can see Billy and Kylie?

Right. I spoke to Children's Services.

They have to put
your children's welfare first.

They won't let me see them?

No. I'm sorry.

I'd never hurt them.

You threatened your wife
and you assaulted her partner,

so they have to take that into account.

It wasn't her fault.

Why is that?

Why my wife left me.

Why she took Billy and Kylie away from me.

It's this matching thing.

It messes with people's heads.

It wasn't her fault. I see that now.

[chuckles]

[indistinct chatter]

[door closes]

- [Damien] Okay?
- Yeah.

[indistinct chatter]

[door closes]

Good morning, everyone.

- [woman] Morning.
- [man] Morning.

Today we'll be voting
on the discontinuation

of Rebecca's tenure as CEO.

You'll have read the special notice
laying out the grounds for dismissal,

and Rebecca's statement in response.

The board have agreed to vote
on a show of hands.

Rebecca, if you'd like to step outside,
we can begin.

I'd like to stay.

If there are no objections.

Then we'll proceed with the vote.

Those opposed to Rebecca's dismissal,
please raise your hands.

And those who support the motion,
please raise your hands.

James, we'll need your answer.

Please raise your hand if you support
the motion to dismiss Rebecca.

James?

I think she should stay on.

The board have voted against the motion.
Thank you for your time.

[Damien] Nicely done.

Thank you. No hard feelings.

Oh, you want to shake hands?

[Rebecca] Don't be a sore loser.

I only ever wanted what was best
for the company.

Me, too.
It's like we're best friends again.

You can let go of my hand.

I'm selling my holding in the company.

It's time to cash out.

- I'm sorry to hear that.
- No, you're not.

You're right. I'm not.
You're a pain in the ass.

Take care of yourself.

I will. Don't worry about me.

Well, I'm not sure
anyone worries about you.

We all make our choices.

[cell phone vibrating]

That was a shitshow.

Bitch.

[engine starts]

Remember when we first moved in here?

All these people,
I couldn't believe they worked for us.

Have you heard any more from the police?

We just have to keep it together.

Do you want to see Yasmiin?

[chuckles softly] No.
No, I'm not ready for that.

Well, don't wait too long.

When you find love,
you'll treasure every minute.

Wow.

Cheesy bitch.

Yeah. [inhales deeply]

Well, I should get back.

Walk the dog.

I miss you.

[Megan] How's Hannah?

[Mark] Yeah, she's staying at her mom's.

Did you guys split up?

Nah, nah.
We're just spending some time apart.

[Megan] So what happens now?

I have no idea.

This is really hard. I, um...

didn't expect to feel this way.
It just... happened so quickly.

Does what it says on the tin, right?

There's a tin?
I wasn't aware there was a tin.

I need some time.

To work things out with Hannah?

[sighs] No, I don't... I don't know.

Okay, yeah. But...

How much time?

Because I'm quietly
going a little bit crazy over here.

No pressure or anything.

Why am I smiling, man?

Because we're matched.

It's not your fault.

It wouldn't be our fault
if something happened between us.

We could just blame it on the genes.

No, I can't do that.

Yeah, no, of course.

I'm sorry.

This is really weird, so I'm gonna go.

Megan!

[Megan] What?

[cell phone vibrating]

Hi.

Mark?

I... I need to see you. Can we meet up?

[Kate] Who is this guy, anyway?

[Nick] Stuart Sutherland,
worked with Ben Naser at NSB.

He's still there. Said he'll talk to us

if it's off-the-record
and away from the office.

So I spoke with the HR Director at NSB.
They're saying Ben resigned.

Some of his family seemed to think
he was sacked.

Well, if you're offered the choice,
resigning looks much better on your CV.

Right, so why did Ben resign?

He was accused of stealing some data.

They tracked it back to his laptop
and Ben swore he didn't do it.

He thought he'd been hacked.

They didn't believe him?

They marched him out of the building,

made him sign a nondisclosure agreement.
He was in pieces.

Did you talk to Ben after he left?

We were told we shouldn't have
any contact with him.

But you saw him?

Ben called me.

[Nick] When was this?

I don't know.
A couple of months after he left.

He wanted me to check a name
on the medical trials database.

I told him I couldn't do it
but he was begging me.

I felt sorry for him.

What name did he ask you to check?

Matheus Silva.

- Who's he?
- I don't know.

He was part of
a DNA-based pain management trial.

So why did Ben want you to check his name?

He wouldn't say.

[Nick] Matheus Silva
and his brother, Fabio.

They're the guys from the CCTV
in Ben's apartment.

Let's have a look.

Yeah, looks like
they live out in Tenerife.

Red-flag both of them.

Find out when they've been
in and out of the country.

See you back at the office.

Matheus Silva.
I'm assuming you know who that is.

Thought you might want to know
we're going to be looking for him.

[tires screeching]

Matheus?

[Matheus] Yeah. Here.

[Rebecca] The police are looking for you.

- How did they get my name?
- I don't know.

You can't be here.

[Matheus] You promised.

I'll come to you as soon as I can.

[locks door]

[doorbell buzzes]

I tried to talk to her about it,
but she wouldn't tell me anything.

I don't know what to think.
I'm so confused.

My girlfriend,
she wants me to go back to Spain.

How long have you been together?

Four years. We're getting
married next month. [chuckles softly]

Congratulations.

Muchas gracias.

My sister...

she's very lucky to have you.

She obviously doesn't feel like that.

No, it's nothing you did. Believe me.
You must not blame yourself.

Hmm.

Thank you for inviting me to your home.

- Cheers.
- Cheers.

[Connor] We got an online shop delivered.

[Matheus] How long do I need to stay here?

[Connor] Hard to say.
Do I need to tell you not to go out?

And if I need something?

If you need anything, call me.

Wi-Fi code's on the router.
Make yourself at home.

In the village where we grew up,
there are many old people with dogs.

And when she was little... [chuckles]

Sophia believed that old people
were allowed to marry their dogs.

[laughing] She thought
you could marry a dog?

Yeah, but only if you were old,
and your husband or wife died.

[both laugh]

I think it was because...
she hated the idea of people being alone.

I have something.

[gasps] Oh, my God! [chuckles]

You are so alike.

[laughs] People always said that.
We are not alike at all.

What do you mean?

Well, I was the boring one.

You know, yeah, always working,
helping my parents.

- And Sophia was the wild one.
- [inhales sharply] Yeah.

Valeria said that she can be selfish.

[scoffs]

Sophia was always so pretty.

She could get people
to do what she wanted.

Maybe sometimes
that means you're not so kind.

Yeah.

Sorry, I shouldn't have said that.

No, it's fine.

You can keep it.

No, I can't.

I want you to have it.

- Really?
- Uh-huh.

Oh, thank you.

- I need a wee.
- [laughs]

Sorry, too much information. [chuckles]
Help yourself to wine.

[door opens and closes]

[door opens and closes]

[Kate] What are you doing?

[Sebastian chuckles softly]

I...

I have such strong feelings for you.

- Are you joking?
- Mmm-mmm.

I have never felt this way.

You need to leave.

I'm so sorry.
I... I had to tell you how I feel, I...

I cannot stop thinking about you.

[cell phone ringing]

What the fuck?

I'm so sorry. I'm sorry.

[cell phone continues ringing]

[door opens and closes]

[cell phone continues ringing]

Hello?

Speaking.

When was this?

Thank you.

[tense music playing]

[cell phone vibrating]

[yawns]

Hello?

Is this Matheus Silva?

I'm Detective Inspector Kate Saunders.

I need to talk to you
about your brother, Fabio.

Where is he?

I'm afraid it's bad news.
