- Kate:
I turned it off.

I swear I did.

Theresa:
Hi.

Hi.

It's Friday, remember?

We said I would look after him.

Did we?

I'm sorry. I forgot.

I cancelled two things

specially.

It's fine. I could actually

really do with some sleep.

You're not going out?

No.

Okay. Sure.

I'll take him downstairs.

You can stay here if you want.

No, I'll take him downstairs.

Give you some peace.

Hi. Justin pollard.

Yeah. Um...

Sure. What time?

I was going to take a bath,

but there's no time.

- You look great.

Well, we're going out

for the night, aren't we?

Justin:
Thanks for inviting us.

It was Jon's idea.

He's on his way back now.

Can I put that down for you?

Sure.

Thanks.

He's sleeping.

Where's your bathroom?

Just down on the left.

Sorry, I meant right, not left.

- Wine?

- Sure. Thanks.

I like you smart.

Thanks.

Just seeing how far away Jon is.

Justin:
Where did you go

when you went away?

Jon has a lake house.

We did a ritual.

We rowed out into the lake,

and said goodbye to him.

It's something the hindus do.

For them, water is a transporter

to other realms.

Do you believe that?

Why not?

How much do any of us know?

Only when you lose someone

utterly dear to you,

utterly and totally dear,

can you understand

just how little we know.

About death,

about the soul, who we are.

Justin!

Justin:

What is it?

What happened?

There was someone

on the baby monitor.

What?

When you were in the garden.

I heard breathing.

- Jon:
Hello?

- It was coming from our room.

- It was the water.

- Someone was here!

Oh my god, what happened?

Baby,

why don't we go downstairs?

We can have supper another time.

Sure.

Justin, I swear I turned it off!

I turned the water off!

- Hi.

- Hi.

Would you watch Billy

for half an hour?

I just need to get out.

Get some air.

Sure.

Thank you so much.

- Are you okay?

- Yeah. I'm just tired.

- Was he okay?

- He was a little hungry.

I gave him the bottle.

Good.

I'm going swimming.

Want to bring Billy?

- I've got to clear up upstairs.

- Okay.

- Are you meeting Jon for lunch?

- Every day!

Jon:
It doesn't matter how long

you've gone out for,

you always need to set it.

This is London. It's not

some bloody village, is it?

I thought I heard something.

It must have been upstairs.

It's me. Come back. Now.

Justin:
I can't come now.

Come back now!

- Hi.

- Hi.

- Can we come in?

- Sure.

Sorry. Kate!

Look!

- They've deleted them.

Give me the key.

Give me the key!

They've changed it.

What are you talking about?

You knew I was here

and you changed it!

When were you here?

I really didn't want you

to see this room.

I saw you in the garden.

You took a picture of him.
