[Chloe] Becky.
Becky.
I need your help.
[birds chirping]
[shower running]
[no audible dialogue]
[Chloe] Hi. Thanks.
[Elliot] Morning.
Sleep okay?
-[driver] 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?
Uh, we haven't, in ages.
Okay. 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.
But I'll make time for us. You're the only one that keeps me sane.
[Livia] Oh, here he is. The man of the moment.
Hello, hello. Come sit.
-[phone rings] -Oh, sorry.
Talk to me.
Yeah.
Yeah. Can you do the post that we talked about last week?
You have the campaign photo, right?
-[Becky] Yeah. Yeah. -Okay, good.
Ugh, I know, she's an absolute pig.
[chuckles] Mmm.
Okay. Okay, great. Well, we'll talk later.
Okay, we've got a date. It's really happening.
-[Elliot] Brilliant. -I'm going to start to put together
a schedule for the week. Let me run a few things past you.
[Elliot] Sure.
So, we're working towards the end of the week. A lot of stuff…
[Elliot and Livia chattering]
[Elliot] Yeah, good idea.
You should talk to Nish too. He's got a list of party people to add on.
[Livia] I'll make sure I call Nish later.
-[whispers] Hey. -[gasps]
[Elliot] All right, see you.
I'm gonna head off.
[Becky] See you later.
[Livia clears throat]
Liv.
-Are-- Are we okay? -Yeah, of course. Why wouldn't we be?
What's the matter?
Um…
I took down a photo of me from the work account.
Would you mind not posting photos of me online?
-What? -The stalker.
-Remember? -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 okay? -I'm not over the moon, no.
But I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt, so just…
just let me get over it.
Do-- Uh, do you want me to do the guest list for the launch?
I can take it off your plate. Talk to Nish.
Yeah. Yeah, that'd be good.
Thank you.
Okay, so they want plus ones for…
Start on 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, 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?
Oh, really? Sorry.
Sorry. [chuckles]
Um, I guess it's just been such a trauma for Elliot.
-I want to support him. -You scared him the other night.
Disappearing like that.
I don't like to see him get hurt.
[podcast guest chattering on headphones]
You see, he observed the speed of revolving galaxy clusters.
Essentially, disks of stars rotating around the centre of the galaxy…
In other words, their gravitational pull
produced by the amount of observable matter in those galaxies
wasn't enough to explain their movements.
It was a huge anomaly,
and it led him to conclude that there must be something there
that produces the gravity…
-[Becky] Hello. -Hi.
-Good day? -Yeah.
-You? -Mmm.
Good. Nish told me you guys had a nice drink.
-Yeah. -Speaking of which.
-Do you want one? -Yeah.
Uh, just my podcast's nearly done.
[podcast host] …scale are we talking about?
[guest] About five or six times
the amount of matter that's currently accounted for.
[host] So most of the universe is dark matter?
[guest] Mmm, yes, that's correct.
[host] So why exactly can't we see it?
[guest] Oh, well, it doesn't attract…
Uh, so Natalia's in town tomorrow.
You know, my friend from Japan?
Oh, that's nice. I'm very excited to meet her.
Um, actually, I think she's got me tickets for a gig.
-But I can see how long she's around for. -Okay, sure.
No problem.
Cheers.
[club music playing over speakers]
[people chattering]
Hi, 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!
I was, um… 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.
-[chuckles] Okay, yes. Fine. -For the awful night.
I just don't think we should've been there.
They were so deep in their grief.
Yeah. Um, 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.
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. But 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 find my friends.
Sure.
I hope you don't mind me saying.
Your energy's a bit oblique too.
Have a good night.
[teenage Becky] I know everything about you and I still like you.
[teenage Chloe] Yeah, but it's different with you.
You don't judge.
You mean, I'm your grimy friend you can tell anything?
I need coffee. [chuckles]
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…
Uh, she's actually had to rush back to London.
Shame.
How come?
Work.
Never mind.
Uh, 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.
No, 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.
Go on, I'm gonna be late.
-[grunts] -[whistle blows]
[lifeguard] No running!
[whistle blows]
-[Becky] Excuse me. -You all right there, miss?
You're not supposed to be out here in your shoes.
Sorry, I need some help.
-You're not allowed phones out. -Right. Right.
Okay. Um, do you know this person?
That one. Um…
Oh, yeah. She used to come here.
What-- 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 go back in.
Right. Okay.
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?
Um, long hair. Handsome. Posh, but sort of dirty.
[Richard] You got the money?
[Chloe] I just need more time.
Fuck. Do you want me to go and fucking tell him?
[line ringing]
[receptionist] Hello, Lavinia Gardens Rehab Centre.
Hi, um, what are your visiting hours?
We accept visitors up to 5:00 p.m.
Okay, brilliant. Thank you. I'll see you soon.
-[Becky] Hey, El. -[Elliot] Hello.
-Is everything okay? -Where are you?
Livia said you left Berkeley 45 minutes ago.
Hang on, just give me a sec.
I thought you were in a strategy meeting tonight, so I went for a swim.
Where?
The one near us, Gardiner Park.
Oh. Okay. I was just expecting you to come home.
-You didn't say anything this morning. -Uh, no. No. Sorry, I forgot.
-Um, where are you? -I'm at home.
I was waiting. Getting worried about you.
Okay, sorry. Uh, 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.
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?
Okay. 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 like chlorine.
No, um…
I showered.
I'm tired.
[Elliot] Goodnight.
Night.
-Liv. -Hi, Richard.
I-- I thought I'd seen 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?
Um…
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… [stammering]
-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.
Uh…
Wait, wait. What about Elliot?
[stammering] What are you doing?
-[scoffs] Fuck. -She spoke so highly of you.
You seemed to be the only one who really cared.
Yeah, I guess we…
[exhales] We started hanging out.
A lot.
In her last few weeks.
[Becky] What-- What did you do?
I don't know, she'd come over, we'd hang out. She…
-Sometimes she'd borrow my car. -To go where?
Uh, 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.
I mean…
maybe I wanted to.
And she-- she…
she wanted something like that from me, I think.
-What do you mean? -She was unhappy.
She…
I don't know.
So what happened in that last week?
Um…
She, uh…
-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.
And you didn't know where she was going?
Uh, her parents. That's where she ended up anyway.
She got a taxi.
Why didn't you show up?
I just got high and forgot.
[scoffs]
Are you fucking serious?
Where's your car now?
It's at a garage near 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.
Just appointments and shopping lists.
[phone buzzes]
[phone buzzing]
Hi. Hi, El. Um, sorry. I-- I-- There's been an accident on the motorway.
Um, traffic's at a standstill, but I will be with you as soon as possible.
I promise. I'm sorry.
[engine starts]
[chattering]
Sorry.
It's a nightmare.
-Where's Nish? -He's in the loo.
There was no accident on the M32.
Uh, 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.
[Anish] Should we get some drinks?
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.
Obviously, 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, et cetera.
God, I hate it.
[Anish] 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. -Um, I'm just going to pop to the loo.
[Elliot] Sure.
[Anish] Should we get the bill?
[line ringing]
-[Josh] Hi. -Hi.
Are you okay?
Um…
Why haven't you told them?
I don't know.
I probably should've, 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 going to figure it out.
I just need a few more days. I've got a lead.
[sighs] I get it. But you know what I think, Becky.
I know.
-[person] Josh? -[Josh] Yeah. Yeah, one second.
Sorry. Um, is there anything I can do?
I've-- I've got to go.
-But thank you. Bye. -Becky?
Hi. I've come to pick up my husband's car. Richard Greenbank?
[mechanic] I'll just grab the keys.
[engine stops]
-[wind blowing] -[seabirds squawking]
Hello?
[phone buzzing]
Hey, El.
[Elliot] Hey.
-Everything okay? -Bit of a weird day.
What happened?
Mainly launch stress, and they returned Chloe's things,
her phone and some other stuff.
[Chloe's voicemail] Hello, you've reached Chloe Fairbourne.
Hi, it's me.
[Elliot] Are you there? Sasha?
Uh, I'm coming home,
-so, I'll see you soon. -Okay. See you soon.
-Okay, bye-bye. -Bye.
[engine starts]
-Hey. -Hi.
It's nice having you home.
[phone ringing]
Hello, Ben.
Yeah, give me the lowdown.
Great.
[Elliot grunts]
[grunts]
[sighs]
El!
[inaudible]

[ringing stops]
[grunting]
[groans]
-[sighs] -[line ringing]
[Pam] Hello?
Hi, Mum.
It's me.
Oh, hello. What do you want?
Uh…
Nothing. I just wanted to say hi.
Oh, okay. [chuckles]
Well, I've got bingo.
-Oh, okay. -Bye, nugget.
Have…
[door opens]
[door closes]
[Elliot] Hi.
You okay? What's wrong?
I've been locked in.
What do you mean?
I've been locked in for the last three hours.
I've tried to call you loads of times.
So you did.
-Sorry. -Where were you?
Well, I had, um, 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. Where have you looked? They must be somewhere.
-I've looked everywhere. -Have you checked the key bowl?
Obviously.
[keys jingle]
Always check twice.
I was going to make a frittata. Got some amazing cheese.
I'm going to yoga.
-I thought you missed your class. -I'll go to the next one.
Okay, but I'm making lunch.
-Look, can we just have a nice lunch? -I just want to go.
-Are you serious? -I just want to go to yoga.
Listen to yourself.
-[Elliot sighs] -[chopping]
I don't understand you at all.
[sighs]
I'm sorry. I'll stay.
El.
[Elliot] Why the fuck was that in your bag?
Sasha.
Nish tells me you've been asking lots of questions.
What's going on?
-Hmm? -Uh…
From the beginning, I've found her very intimidating.
And she was this incredibly important woman in your life.
She…
She was perfect.
I just couldn't stop thinking about her.
I know-- I know this sounds crazy but, um…
but I almost felt like I…
I felt like I wanted to be her.
[clears throat]
First of all…
she wasn't perfect.
Far from it.
Most of the time she was her own worst enemy.
And 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, uh-- I just felt stupid.
Shall we make some lunch?
Yeah.
[sniffles]
Um, El…
So what about lunch?
-Uh, shall I-- -Oh, yeah.
Sorry, I need to go through that at some point.
Um…
Yeah, why don't you crack a few eggs and I'll put this stuff away.
[lock beeps]
[grunting]
[Becky] Hi, it's me.
Uh, can you call me back when you can?
[Elliot] Hey, love.
I wish you wouldn't put your phone on silent.
Listen, I don't think you should come tonight.
I know you're not feeling very sociable.
And Liv's 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, um, 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. I thought you'd be here.
Chloe, 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.
Please, call me.
Hey, Chloe. Where are you?
We're looking for you everywhere.
I love you so much.
Look, I know you.
I know what you want, even when you forget it.
Please, call me.
[detective] Hello, am I talking to Becky Green?
[Becky] Speaking.
[detective] Our records show you received two missed calls on the 12th of April
from a Chloe Fairbourne.
[Becky] You did call me.
Fuck.
[Becky] You were dropping her off at the swimming pool.
And the last time was a few days before she died.
[lifeguard] She'd just jump in the pool and get straight out again.
[Becky] Why?
[Elliot] We'd been trying to get pregnant.
For about a year.
We were about to start IVF.
She really wanted it.
Always check twice.
[Richard] She wanted to borrow my car again.
I didn't show up.
[Elliot] So, that's it from me.
In the meantime, please do mingle, eat, drink, be merry.
[Josh] Be careful.
[whispers] It's always the husband.
Thank you all so much.
-Have a wonderful evening. -[applause]
[phone beeps]
[Elliot] She'd gone to her parents' house.
They called me up and told me to come straight over.
[phone beeps]
So I did.
Fuck.
[breathing heavily]
[Elliot] Sasha?
What are you doing?
Uh, I couldn't sleep.
Come back to bed. I miss you.
[wind whistling]
[phone buzzing]
-Hello? -[Chloe] Becky?
Are you okay?
[whispers] I'm scared.
