Albatross
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
If you can't

Gonna walk away the blame
If you can't make me happy
Gonna walk away the shame
See, I got my cuts
and bruises
Ah-ooh
Gonna walk away the pain
Ah-ooh
And if you can't
make me happy
Ah-ooh
Gonna walk away again
Oh, you are up.
I'm taking Posy
to an audition,
so you're manning the front desk
this morning.
Can I not? I'm revising.
Is Dad not around?
Your dad's writing.
You can revise on the desk.
You have to give
people keys, Beth.
Won't be any different
to up here.
Come on.
Take your hair down
and make yourself
a bit more presentable
Why don't you see
What you're doing to me?
Police! Run!
Why won't you go?
Leave me walking alone
Hey!
Why won't you go?
If you can't
Make me
Happy
Mmm,
did you bring coffee?
Yes, thanks.
I'm taking Posy
to an audition,
so you're gonna have to get
your own lunch as well.
There's some nice
turkey ham in the fridge.
Which?
Which what?
No, which is it,
turkey or ham?
It's turkey ham.
That's what it is,
turkey ham.
]Why do they call it
turkey ham
when it's only got
turkey in it?
that's what,
like your next bestseller.
Why won't you see
What you're doing to me?
Why won't you go?
Leave me walking alone
Why won't you go?
Was everything all right?
Did you sleep okay?
No, I didn't.
squawking since sunrise.
They kind of come
with the sea.
Wasn't like that
in the book.
It was a peaceful retreat
in the book.
You're lucky
I'm not coming in...
to talk to your mother
and father.
Well, good luck with that
if you change your mind.
Um...
is this actually your house?
Yeah.
Hmm.
I'm late, aren't I?
You've missed breakfast,
I'm afraid.
Which room are you in?
All of them,
unfortunately.
I'm the new cleaner.
Right, yeah.
I'm Beth Fischer.
Oh, charmed.
Serena.
Nice to meet you, Serena.
Can I just take your surname
for the key log?
Yeah, um,
it's spelled M-O-L-I-N-A.
Great.
So you know
you don't need to do
the attic room on the top floor,
just the guestrooms.
This is Edna,
our other cleaner.
She'll show you around.
How do you say your surname,
just so I don't get it wrong?
Molina.
Molina.
Mm-hmm, yeah.
Serena Molina the cleaner.
Meant to be.
Right, um, so Edna's
just down there.
EW.
Yeah, in deep.
Oh.
You don't need
to clean here.
Are you sure?
Looks pretty dirty
from where I'm standing.
Filthy, actually.
F*ck.
Is that your dad then?
The pervert you keep locked away
in the attic?
So you've read the book then?
No.
It's a little
lightweight for me.
Any good?
Really brilliant.
What's he doing here then?
He lives here.
No, I mean he's German,
isn't he?
So What's he doing in this
culture vacuum?
Well, I imagine he's asking
himself the same question...
now that
he's got Writer's block.
My name's not Serena Molina,
by the way.
Did you not realize
I was joking?
Oh.
I thought the joke
was on you.
Emelia... Conan Doyle.
And, yes, I am related
to the Sherlock Holmes author.
Wow.
That's great.
Anyway...
I'd better go.
Got to skooch.
Bye.
She wants to do it,
so why can't she?
Because she will-
Because she will have
to come out of school
if the rehearsals
are during the day.
She is six years old,
Jonathan.
What's she going
to miss, eh?
What's she going to miss?
Oh, I don't know.
Just the unimportant stuff!
Reading! Writing!
A lot of bloody good
those things have done you,
parked up here
fiddling with your asshole,
and it's the rest of us-
do not turn away!
It is the rest of us
