Talulah:
(sighs) God, it's freezing here.
Ellie:
It's freezing at
home as well, Lu.
Talulah:
Yeah, but we're here.
-I mean, why?
-I told you, baby.
It's Ellie's birthday surprise.
It'll be great.
Do you know this place
is full of archaeology?
I read there were
Saxons there and Celts.
Even Vikings, Lu!
God, that sounds boring.
And the cottage I've got
us to stay is lovely.
It's really lovely.
Talulah:
(sighs) Archaeology's
just dead things.
-Shut up, you.
-You shut up.
Stop it!
Let's not argue, okay?
This is our little holiday,
just for us three,
so no fighting, alright?
Sorry, Mom.
Talulah:
You didn't even ask.
And I was getting
ready for school.
Helen:
Yeah, well, that's what
a surprise is, Lu.
Yeah. That's the reason.
Not 'cause Ellie went
all psycho in class.
Helen:
Hey! You've made
your point, Talulah.
You've made it for
the last 50 miles, alright?
And can you put that away,
please?
We're not spending
our entire holiday
looking at screens.
Jeez.
Talulah:
Anyway,
I thought we couldn't
afford to go away.
No.
No, I mean
Things have been tight,
but we're not broke.
(quietly):
That's not what Gran said.
Helen:
What did Gran say?
Lu?
What did Gran say?
She said you couldn't make
the mortgage this month.
Well, don't listen to your Gran
'cause your Gran
is bloody mental.

Your go, Lu. "L."
Easy. Lamb.
-Helen: Ah.
-Lamb's not an animal.
Then what is it?
It's a baby sheep.
And that's an animal.
-She can't have "lamb."
-Talulah: Twenty points.
Helen:
Let her have "lamb," Ellie.
-I couldn't have "kitten."
-Helen: Come on!
You let her get
away with everything.
Helen:
Let her have "lamb."

Helen:
Oh my God! (laughs)
Wow!
Well, here we are!

Talulah:
A-are we driving on that?
Yeah! It's a causeway!
It was built by the Romans.
-It's gonna be great.
-That was a long time ago.
It's perfectly safe.
We're going to that island
over there. Can you see it?
It's called Osea.
Isn't it incredible?
We're gonna have so much
fun, aren't we? Yeah?

Okay, here we go.

-No.
I mean yes, yes, it is.
It's just

What?
No, I-I, um
I booked it online

I've got the Airbnb

I'm afraid it's not possible.
What do you mean
not possible?
I've driven from London.
I've got my kids in the car.
I've paid to stay
in this cottage.
Look, I-I don't
want any trouble.
-I beg your pardon?
-Just leave, please.
We'll refund you
the money.
It's not about

-Yeah, well, he didn't!
And I've driven all
morning to get here,
and I've got two
kids in that car
who are cold
and hungry and tired!
Their dad was
white then, was he?
-Are you serious?

closes in two hours.
Go home.
Believe me,
it's for the best.
Tell me something.
When did you decide your
cottage wasn't available?
-Was it when you saw me?
-No! No!
It's nothing like that,
I swear. It's just
Look, there's lots of lovely
places on the mainland--
Oh, fuck the mainland,

we are staying

It looked shut. And creepy.
And doesn't that
sea road close soon?
No. We've still
got two hours, yeah?
But, what if we
don't find anywhere?
Helen:
Course we will.
This is England.
How about this?
We are gonna have ourselves
an adventure, right?
Just us three.
We're gonna find somewhere
really, really brilliant

Hold on. Within
the next two hours,

Look.
This year
It's been really hard
on all three of us.
This holiday is
like a new start.
Just you, me, and Lu.
I want it to be special.
Will you help me?
Well,
I went for a wee,
but I think I might
need a poo now.
But, it can wait.

It's over 1,000 years old.
It's worth more than
everything on this island.
It's from the Battle of Maldon,
fought right here on Osea.

-Really.
The Saxon Lord Byrhtnoth invited
4,000 Vikings to come over
and slaughter him
and all his men.
Invited them.
Total massacre.
Y-you know why he asked them
to come over and butcher him
and all his men?
Because it was meant.
And what's meant to happen
always happens on Osea,
no matter what.

Oh no. No, dear.
No, the people here,

tricky day.

somewhere to stay.

happening here?
It's just childbirth,

We've got a woman
in labor on Osea.
She wants to have it here.
We can do that.
I've done it me-self, but
what you saw was just
medical equipment
in case of an emergency.
But now, our medic's gone
and gotten himself arseholed.
Safest thing would be to
take her to the mainland,
but she's refused that,
and now we're just praying that
her stupidity doesn't kill her.
I saw something
else in that place.
Well, we've had our
customs for years.
They ain't pretty, but I'm not
fucking apologizing for 'em.
Car wasn't stolen, it was towed.
They need clear access.
I'll call Danny and he'll be

Well

You know I don't.
I don't.
Gran called.
I spoke to her.

Okay, look
I'm sorry I lied,
alright? But
You know I don't like
all that religious stuff.
She pumped me full

you're interested--

stop, Mom.
Okay? Just stop lying.
Are you scared
I'm a bad person?

It was a stupid fight.

Nothing's gonna happen.
No.

not a bad person.
Listen to me.

Oh, not stolen.
Can't be stolen.
Yeah, it was stolen, which

So we're staying

Are we safe?
-What?
-I was at that Shoreside place.
There were these medical things,
and we-- we heard screaming.
Everyone here is acting like
something bad's gonna happen.
What do you think's
happening here?
It's just childbirth,
that's all.
What do you mean childbirth?
We've got a woman
in labor on Osea.
She wants to have it here.
We can do that.
I've done it me-self, but
what you saw was just
medical equipment
in case of an emergency.
But now, our medic's gone
and gotten himself arseholed.
Safest thing would be to
take her to the mainland,
but she's refused that,
and now we're just praying that
her stupidity doesn't kill her.
I saw something
else in that place.
Well, we've had our
customs for years.
They ain't pretty, but I'm not
fucking apologizing for 'em.
Car wasn't stolen, it was towed.
They need clear access.
I'll call Danny and he'll be
back here within the hour.
So we're safe here then?

Yeah.
Thank you.
