Estranged

Hey!

Hey.

-Faster, Callum! Faster!

-Beautiful!

-Yeah, that's a lot of...

-Look at the hills. They're beautiful.

Smile for the camera!

Hello! Hey! Hello, Mum!

-My God.

-Whoo!

Faster!

I love you!

I love you too!

Whoo!

Go faster!

Whoo!

Faster, Callum!

January!

Is she going to be okay?

Is she going to be all right?

Hey. Hey. Hey, Jan. Hey.

Stay with me babe, okay?

Jan.

Someone talk to me!

Is she going to be okay?

Jan...

Mum! Mummy!

They're coming!

Is this your house?

Is this where you grew up?

I can't remember.

God, you should see

my Mum's place.

It's a right sh*t hole.

F***.

Ms. Dunfield, I'm Thomas.

Your butler?

The family are very

excited to see you.

You have a butler?

-Welcome.

-Surprise!

January?

Your hair looks nice.

You told them, didn't you?

No one told us about this.

You still look beautiful to me.

I've missed you so much.

Mum.

Mum.

You can't remember anything

before the accident?

Nothing.

Will it come back?

I really don't know.

-Did the doctors check you for clots?

-Yeah.

-Hemorrhages?

-Yes.

Laurence, stop

interrogating her.

I'm just checking

there's nothing else the matter.

She couldn't come back

if there were.

You trust a Mexican doctor?

It's a Brazilian.

Rio's in Brazil,

not Mexico.

I did Geography.

Can hold my breath

for three minutes.

Did you, um, make the banner?

It... it's good.

It's nothing really.

How long was I away for?

-Six years.

-Six.

How did you crash the scooter?

-Dad.

-Shush, Katherine.

I'm curious myself.

Were you speeding?

Then you could have

slowed down.

I was there too.

It's just as much my fault.

One of you can still walk.

You should keep

your mouth shut.

Callum.

Hey, hey, come on.

So what do I need

around here?

Wellies? Boots?

Cloth cap? Whippet?

Jan?

Jan?

When she hugged me,

nothing came back.

I didn't ask for this.

Well, where else

could we have gone?

I'm only here

because I'm sick.

They must think

I'm so f***ing selfish.

No, they don't.

Didn't I ever tell you

why I left?

Well, you wouldn't

talk about it.

What if I never remember?

Well, when you first woke up,

you thought I was there

to change the bedpans.

But you remember me now,

don't you?

You felt right.

So will they.

Eventually.

Come on.

Let's take your drugs.

Yeah?

I have prepared

the guest room for you, sir.

It's across in the east wing.

No, I'm all right here.

Thanks.

Only married couples

can share beds, sir.

House rules, I'm afraid.

What century is this?

I'll be outside.

Now I feel like

Mister f***ing Darcy.

I love you.

See you in the morning.

I think I prefer

the other part of the house.

Bet you can play some wicked games

of hide-and-seek here though.

The family have never

been ones for games, sir.

How do you know?

Well, I've lived here

all my life.

My father was the butler

before me.

Can I ask you a question?

Of course.

Was January happy here?

I think so.

I'm trying to understand

why she left.

I just want to help her,

that's all.

I'm just a butler, sir.

Your room.

What the f***?

You... ever shot

anything before?

You want to?

My arms are fine.

I forgot.

You always liked

doing things your own way.

You can do

my makeup for me.

Really?

Just don't make

me look like a slut.

Bloody hell!

Never mind.

Have another go.

The recoil takes a bit

of getting used to.

It's only the gangs back home

that have guns.

Well, you need them here.

Hunting, putting things down,

that sort of thing.

That's the way it is.

I suppose it's...

I suppose it's more of a tool

than a weapon out here.

No, it's a weapon all right.

That's the worst mistake

you can make,

to forget that.

We're miles away

from the police here.

What if somebody broke in?

It's always a weapon.

There you go.

Whoa.

Did I get it?

How much would it cost...

for you to go to London...

and not come back?

You don't have a job...

don't have anywhere to live...

If you can't look

after yourself...

how are you gonna

look after her?

I'm staying with her.

And you can't change that.

And besides...

I've got the gun.

It's not loaded.

We...

We'll have more luck

over the hill.

Just be careful going up.

It's slippy.

Callum's nice, isn't he?

He's all right.

Do you have a boyfriend?

No.

All the boys around here

look like Dad.

You should go to the city.

Meet someone

who isn't covered in mud.

I couldn't do that.

Nothing's stopping you.

I'm settled here.

You'll settle for this?

Yes.

This is our home.

This is how we live.

We can't all run away

when we feel like it.

Some of us have responsibility.

You're too skinny.

You need to put on some weight.

I couldn't eat solids

for a month.

We'll have you plumped up

in no time.

So, what do you think?

I'm so glad you're home.

When did you stop

liking beans?

I'm fine.

-Come on. Just a little cup.

-No thanks.

Please? For me?

Will you stop

mollycoddling her?

Don't you have a job

to go to?

It's my day of rest.

Animals don't get sick

on Sunday?

It's the Lord's day.

He's got them covered.

Play nice, you two.

I'm not playing anything.

She can't mind

her own business.

Only because I care.

You just have nothing

better to do.

-Yes, I do.

-Like what?

Get married? Have babies?

-Laurence...

-Why don't you all just shut the f*** up?!

Don't speak in front

of Mum like that.

Apologize.

Hang these.

Apologize.
