[whispers] You ready?

[camera beeps]

How did she do?

Daddy, I know this isn't a toy,

but I wanted to tell you that the director said

I did a really good audition

and that they want me to be in the film.

[shouts] Yes! You clever, clever girl!

Come here and give Daddy a hug!

There's my little film star! Come here!

- Did you see me? - I did!

I couldn't see you.

No, that's how it works.

But, wait...

Isn't that the famous actress I've heard so much about?!

Daddy, put me down!

I think someone's earned a treat.

- Pancakes! - No, my love.

That's just for weekends.

- [giggles] - Come on, come on, come on!

You are so clever, you know that?

- [girl giggles] - [man] You'll have so much fun.

Daddy's gonna take you in every day.

[birdsong]

[man] This director's really good.

[woman] Is this all right, do you think?

This actress, she's been in everything.

- Ben? - What?

- This. Good? - Yeah. What's it for?

My meeting.

Er, I don't know. Bit butch?

[woman on TV] Actress Alicia Romano

finds herself in hot water

as an intimate video of her, leaked last night, goes viral.

The video and images...

- [woman] What's that? - Oh, my God.

[Alicia] Do you like it? [laughs]

- Jesus. - [Alicia] Well, you bought it.

[woman] What is that?

- [Alicia] Come here. - [woman] Who is that?

The actress playing Tilly's mum.

- [Alicia] Huh? - Poor woman.

[Alicia] Come on, put that down and come here.

They should be ashamed of themselves, publishing that.

I guess they're like public property, aren't they?

How would they like it if that was their girlfriend

or sister or daughter?

[sighs] I don't know, looks like she was enjoying herself.

[sighs]

- This better? - [baby cries over monitor]

[crying continues]

[sighs] Better go and ask him.

[baby cries]

Ben, can you check on Lucas?

[crying continues]

How are you feeling, Tilly?

- Good. - Just good?!

- Ben! - [crying continues]

Fuck. Annette, have you seen my phone?

Annette? Have you taken Daddy's phone?

[crying continues]

Annette, have you seen my phone?

Bedside table. What time's Lucy coming? Ben?

- She's not. - What?

She's always been unreliable

and I think we should find someone else.

- But... - Do we have to do this now?

Yes, now. What about my meeting?

- With Richard? - [doorbell rings]

- [♪ "Forever" by Roy Wood] - [Ben mutters]

- ♪ And I wonder ♪ - Ben?!

♪ Who she'll be ♪

- ♪ If she'll put the hurt on me ♪ - Ben!

♪ Forever ♪

♪ Oh, oh, oh, oh! ♪

[Tilly] Bye, Mummy!

[Lucas cries]

[indistinct chatter]

[woman 1] Darren?

[man] Coming!

[woman 2] I told you to go back inside.

[woman 1] Yeah, he's already on set.

[man] Yeah, thanks very much, love. I've got it.

[Ben] Right, let me have your bag.

- Hello, Ben? - Er, yes.

I'm Emily. One of the ADs. Nice to meet you.

- Yeah, nice to meet you. - And you must be Matilda.

- Say hi, Tilly. - Hi.

Hi! [chuckles] If you'd like to follow me,

I'll take you through to hair and makeup,

and then I can show you to your trailer.

Does that sound OK, Tilly?

Only Mummy and Daddy call me Tilly.

- [Ben] Don't be rude, Tilly. - No. My fault.

What would you like me to call you?

- [Tilly] Matilda. - OK, Matilda. Right this way.

[Emily] Ben?

[Emily chuckles]

That's where we're filming.

[Lucas cries]

[groans] Oh, OK. I know.

[crying continues]

Oh. I know. I know.

I know. I know.

[crying continues]

[seat belt clicks]

[car starts]

[hairdryer whirs]

[door opens, closes]

Matilda. This is Alicia. She's playing your mum.

Matilda, I'm so happy to meet you.

- [Alicia chuckles] - [Ben] We're both a bit nervous.

- I'm Ben, her dad. - Really nice to meet you.

You too, I'm a big fan.

Sorry, I don't know if I'm supposed to say that.

No, of course you're supposed to say that.

And I'm a fan of yours.

- What? - Er, yeah.

When they told me who was playing my daughter,

I did some research.

- I read your book. - Really? Which one?

Erm...

All right if I leave you three to it? Gonna chase Connor.

- He's late again? - Yeah, sorry.

So, er, Tilly. I want to know all about you.

And there's this game I play called One, Two, Three.

Do you know it?

So, what we do is I say a topic, like, erm... food,

and, on three, we both have to say what our favorite food is.

Do you wanna play?

OK, so let's start with food.

One, two, three...

- Pizza! - Syrup sandwich!

[laughs] Oh, my God, what? Syrup sandwich?

I've never heard of that.

She says it doesn't count as a dessert because it's a sandwich.

[Alicia laughs] All right, do you wanna say one now?

Erm, animals!

Ooh, that's a really good one. Do you want to count us in?

One, two, three...

[chatter, laughter]

[waiter] Hello, there. Hm-hmm. Follow me.

Thank you.

[Richard] Hmm. Yeah.

There's nothing in that I disagree with.

We should... we... Absolutely, we should move in.

[waiter] Can I take your coat?

[Richard] Yeah. All right, listen, I have to go.

A friend of mine just got here, so...

All right, we'll speak soon. Cheers now. Bye.

- Darling, I am so sorry! - No, I'm fine.

- [groans] - That's fine.

Oh, my God, it's good to see you!

I... [clears throat] ordered us some tea.

- Tea? Gone are the days! - [laughs]

I know, don't tell anyone. It'll ruin my reputation.

- I love the hair. - Oh! It's old.

I did it... Had it a little while ago. So...

- Hmm! And who is this? - [Lucas babbles]

[Annette] This is Lucas. My PA.

Hmm!

I thought the plan was to have one and then get back to work.

[Annette] Well, you know...

We just loved Tilly so much, we wanted another.

[Richard chuckles] And how is Ben?

I heard he shipped you all off to the countryside.

Have his dreams of peace and quiet borne fruit?

Yes. Yeah. He works a lot.

It's been... really good, really great for him.

- Oh, good. Good. - Yeah.

Well, I just hadn't seen anything of his

- doing the rounds for a while. - No?

Well, er, he's working on a lot of, er...

lot of different things.

[Richard] Oh. Well, great.

[Lucas babbles]

Oh, darling, you seem to be missing an earring.

What? Oh, my God, I must...

I'm so sorry! I don't know what...

[Richard] Oh, no! [chuckles] It's nothing to apologize for.

Anyway, enough about all of that.

I want to know about you.

Yeah. No, I'm good.

I'm great. It's so good to see you.

[Richard] Well, it's good to see you.

We all miss you so much.

I told the old gang we were having lunch

and they begged for gossip and stories, so...

Oh, my God. I don't know where to start.

Erm...

The house is beautiful. Tilly loves it.

It's just, we're...

It... It's so great.

- How about work? - [Lucas squeals]

[Annette] How's, er, everyone at the firm, though?

Is, erm... what's-her-name

still making the best coffees in town?

[Richard] Er, Amanda? No, actually.

She is now a fully fledged publisher.

Hmm, and already acting like she runs the place.

That's great.

That is so great for her.

So... [chuckles]

- I wanted to ask... - Hm-hmm?

[Lucas shrieks, cries]

I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. He's hungry.

Well, that makes two of us. [chuckles]

Shall we order?

[crying continues]

[crying continues]

[tense music]

[inhales sharply]

[exhales]

[sighs]

[breathes heavily]

[loud crack]

[gasps]

[turns water off]

[tap drips]

Pretty amazing, isn't it?

Yeah.

- Hi. - Hi.

[Emily] This way, Matilda. It's exciting, isn't it?

You look so smart in your dress.

- You must be used to this. - [chuckles] No, not at all.

Each new job is so different. That's why I love it.

[Alicia on video] You bought it. Do you like it?

- [men chuckle] - [man] Oh, my God!

[Alicia] Come on, put that down and come here.

- Turn that off. - You what, mate?

[Ben] Turn that off. You should be ashamed of yourselves.

Ain't you got a little sister? Daughter?

How'd you like it if it was one of them?

[exhales, clears throat] You didn't have to do that.

- Yes, I did. - Thank you.

[indistinct chatter]

- Are you OK? - [Ben] What's up? You all right?

Come on, Tilly. This is fun.

It's a bit scary, isn't it? All these people. These lights.

I'm pretty scared too. Do you think you could help me?

Would you hold my hand?

Maybe if we keep hold of each other's hands

it won't feel as bad.

Hi, Matilda! Welcome to the set.

[door opens]

Mummy!

Oh, I've missed you, my Tilly Mouse!

Did you have the best time?

- Yeah! - [Ben] What a day.

Come on, I wanna hear everything.

What's all this?

I wanna sit down properly and hear all about it.

- Don't leave anything out. - Oh, erm, we ate already on set.

Oh, right. I didn't know they did that.

Well, that's all right.

All I want for dinner is a little mouse!

Come here, little mouse!

Actually, she's pretty tired.

Annette! She's had a long day and we're up early tomorrow.

Of course. I'll take her up. You relax.

- I'm gonna chase you! - [Tilly laughs]

And Alicia's favorite animal's a peacock.

[Annette] Wow, a peacock?

Are you going to be able to sleep? Not too excited?

Good. I'm so proud of you.

I missed you.

I missed you too, Tilly Mouse.

Sleep well.

[both inhale]

[both blow]

[music plays quietly]

[Annette sighs]

- Did she fall asleep OK? - Yeah.

She was excited but could barely keep her eyes open.

So glad it went well.

It was great. Yeah.

- Alicia sounds nice. - [chuckles] She's amazing.

She's so... normal, you know?

I mean, not normal. I don't think she could ever be normal.

But... you know what I mean.

I mean, she made us feel so welcome and...

It was... it was funny, she'd read one of my books.

Really? God!

Wow.

What?

What?

You could sound a little less surprised.

No.

I just mean she doesn't... Isn't she Italian?

And your work is quite dense.

You must be so tired.

Why don't you take that up

and I'll tidy all of this mess away?

[unsettling music]

[laughs]

There's my little girl! How are you today?

- Good. - [Alicia] Me too.

- Morning, Ben. - Hi. Good morning.

Alicia, we've just got word that Connor's not feeling well,

so he's not coming in today.

We're gonna have to push your scenes until tomorrow.

- You're kidding? - Sorry.

[sighs]

Matilda, have you had breakfast yet?

No.

[Alicia] Do you wanna have breakfast with me?

Erm...

You can have anything you want in the whole world.

Even pancakes?

[laughs]

- Especially pancakes. - [giggles]

Why don't you and your daddy come back to mine?

We can have pancakes and watch a movie.

Great, it's a date.

[Lucas babbles]

[crash]

[Lucas cries]

Right, film time.

[sighs]

[inhales sharply]

[water runs]

[heartbeat thumping]

[gasps]

[upbeat music plays on TV]

[phone camera clicks]

[turns TV volume down]

[whispers] I should wake her.

[whispers] No, she looks so sweet.

She's probably not used to these early starts.

- Neither am I. - [chuckles]

Thanks again for yesterday.

Oh, yeah.

Are you... OK?

- Sorry, you don't have to... - No, it's fine.

I mean, it's not, but...

everybody else in the world seems to know, so...

I have terrible taste in men.

- Sorry, I... - No, no.

I just... I feel for you.

I've loved this, though.

Yeah. It was nice for me, too.

[chuckles softly]

Must be, spending so much time with her.

Yeah. And it's good to get her out the house.

And her mum...

Sorry, you don't wanna hear about that.

No, please.

She struggles sometimes.

It hasn't been easy at home.

[chiming]

I'm sorry.

[Ben] I don't really know what to do with her.

I went away for a few months and...

At first she was sick of me being away, and then,

she was sick of me being home.

I shouldn't have left her alone.

Nothing's been the same since I got back.

She has medication, but...

I'm sorry. You don't need to know all this.

All I wanted to say was... this was really nice.

Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!

[chuckles softly]

[somber music]

[Lucas cries in nearby room and over baby monitor]

[unsettling music]

[crying continues]

[crying continues over baby monitor]

[monitor starts to break up]

[monitor loses connection]

[pants]

[crackling over monitor]

[monitor starts to regain connection]

[Lucas cries over monitor]

[Lucas cries]

[Annette breathes heavily]

[Ben] What do you say, Tilly?

- Thank you. - [Alicia] Thank you for coming.

Thanks again. Do you think you could send me the photo?

Oh, yeah. Sure.

Here, I'll give you my number.

Thanks. I really loved today.

- Me too. Goodnight. - Goodnight.

[car drives away]

[lock clicks]

Jesus! You scared me.

- [Annette] You're famous. - Shh.

[Ben] What?

- What the hell? - [Annette] Was that today?

- Was that today, Ben? - Yeah.

[Ben] What happened to your phone?

Annette?

Are you still sulking?

It was a last-minute thing

that I thought would be nice for Tilly, OK?

Would have been rude to say no.

I dropped it.

- What? - My phone. I dropped it.

I thought it was a bit rude, actually, that article.

What do you mean?

"Mystery man." You'd think they'd recognize

a well-known author when they saw one.

[Lucas cries]

[crying continues]

[Annette groans]

[somber music]

[Lucas cries]

[Lucas cries]

[man] OK, stand by to shoot.

Quick pickup to complete.

Turn over. [indistinct]

Here we go, and...

Action!

[Alicia] ...that I might call such a place home.

Perhaps, in time, you might call me Mother.

[Tilly] If it is what Father asks of me, then I shall.

He's a good man, your father, is he not?

And... cut!

That was brilliant. Both of you. So, so brilliant.

- Tilly, you were so good! - [Tilly] I know!

- [laughs] - I thought it was really great!

Both of you. It was really beautiful to watch.

Er... great.

OK, good.

Great work, guys. We've got cars standing by.

Bit of a drive back to the house.

- Do you wanna walk? - I'd love to.

- [Tilly giggles] - Tilly, come back.

I'll grab her.

Now where are you off to? Matilda, you're so fast!

That really was amazing.

- [chuckles] - I could watch you all day.

Thank you. You're so sweet.

Sweet's got nothing to do with it. You are.

I've loved watching you every day.

Your creativity and...

Well, just being around you. People like you.

I haven't felt this inspired for a long time and...

I don't know, it's woke... woke me up.

I'm honored that you feel that way.

Hey, er...

I wanted to say sorry for last week.

I didn't properly before, so...

That stupid fucking photo of us in the papers.

- That's all right. - No, it's not.

It's not all right. I mean, for me, I don't mind, but...

I do. It's my fucking private life.

But when they bring other people into it... I'm so embarrassed.

I'm sorry. What must your wife think?

Matilda's mum barely notices me.

Look, I loved that day so much. We both did.

That's all that matters.

[sighs] Thank you, Ben.

[Emily] Matilda?

Matilda?

Shall we grab some lunch?

[tires screech]

- [driver] Sorry, guys. - No worries, mate.

[driver] These country roads keep you on your toes.

[Ben] And I'm always here, if you want to talk.

[Alicia] Thanks.

I do find myself getting pretty lonely.

I know how that feels.

What are you doing?

I was just texting your mum. Saying we're on our way home.

[thunder rumbles]

First day off in forever tomorrow.

Ben?

- You OK? - Yeah. No, I'm fine.

I'm just tired.

You know, I was thinking, why don't I take Tilly in on Monday?

Give you a rest. I'd like to see her work.

I just think that'll mess with her routine, you know?

Can't wait for tomorrow.

I felt pretty lonely this week.

[Ben] Yeah, it's been tough.

[♪ "Little Bitty Pretty One" by The Be Sharps plays nearby]

[phone beeps]

[song continues loudly]

- [phone clicks] - Nothing. You?

Nothing.

Maybe you and I could do nothing together.

[chuckles softly]

What did you have in mind?

[shower runs]

[gasps]

[Ben breathes heavily]

[Ben gasps]

[loud music]

Jesus, this is loud! Can we...

Just wait. This is my favorite part.

Fine, whatever. Just turn it down.

- Morning, young man. - [Tilly giggles]

So what do we all fancy doing with our day together?

I've missed hanging out with my Tilly.

I was thinking I might get some writing done.

- Writing? - Yeah.

What?

No, great. I think that's great.

I'm glad you think it's great, Annette.

Well, that sounds perfect.

I'll play with Tilly while you get some writing done.

Maybe you guys could go to the park or something.

- Yes, please. - [Annette] Sure.

- Who wants more? - [Tilly] Me!

I'm going to make one just like Alicia.

How does Alicia have her pancakes?

[Tilly] Grated apple and sugar.

Does she?

It's not a big deal.

- She just... - It is a big deal, Ben.

- It is a big fucking deal. - It's just pancakes.

To you, it might just be pancakes,

but to me, it's a special moment that I have with my family.

One of the only things we have left.

And you didn't even notice when you shat all over it.

I just need a minute.

Well done.

[hyperventilates]

[sobs]

[sobs]

[muffled sob]

Right, Tilly, shall we get off to the park?

Yay!

What about you, Mr. Lucas? Wanna go to the park?

"Yes, Mummy! I love the park!"

[gentle music]

[children playing]

[woman] Oh, my God! Annette!

- Esther! Wow. - [Esther laughs]

- It's been... - I know!

What... Well, what are you doing here?

I live here. Near here. I...

Oh, yeah. Course you do. Course you do, yeah.

Everyone said that you'd moved to the sticks.

What about you? Have you moved?

Oh, God, no. I couldn't live out here.

There's nothing to do. I'd go mad. No. No, no.

No, we just wanted to get out of London for the day.

There's a divine gastropub across the river over there.

- Have you been? - No.

[Esther] Oh, you have to go.

Adam and his husband got us onto it.

We're all meeting there later today.

Look at your hair!

So brave!

I wish I had the guts to do that,

but James likes it long, so...

I heard you and Ben separated. I'm so sorry.

But at the same time, we were all relieved.

He was always a bit...

Oh, it's OK to say now.

I mean, you probably already know by now, but he was awful!

[chuckles quietly]

[Esther] Zoe said he came on to her

at his second book launch! [laughs]

Probably needed an ego boost after all those reviews!

And all those "research trips"! I mean, please!

So, all I want to say

is that you are well out of that.

We didn't separate.

Oh.

He did go away on a research trip,

but he's back.

[Esther] Oh, that is... I didn't know.

How strange.

Tilly!

[Esther] Annette, I'm so sorry.

I didn't mean to... I didn't mean to, erm...

[Alicia] Hey. What are you up to?

[Ben] What, now?

I'm just at home.

[Alicia] Would you like to see me?

[Ben] I would love to.

[Alicia] Where?

[Ben] I could come to yours. Be there in half an hour?

[Alicia] Hmm... Always being watched at mine.

[Ben] Mine?

[tense music]

Tell me where.

[doorbell rings]

Hi, Daddy!

[exhales]

- What are you...? - We were getting cold.

Fish for dinner.

[phone clicks]

[phone beeps]

[toilet flushes]

[Ben grunts]

[Ben groans]

[Ben groans]

Ben?

- [Ben] I don't feel good. - What's wrong?

[exhales sharply]

- [Annette] Ben? - I feel sick.

Can I get you anything?

[Ben retches]

[Ben] Oh, God.

[Ben groans]

[Ben retches]

[alarm beeps]

[alarm stops]

[unsettling music]

I'll take Tilly in today. And Lucas.

You just get better.

[Ben groans]

[chatter]

You must be Annette. I'm Emily. So glad to meet you.

Thank you, Emily. Very excited to fill in.

Right. Morning, Matilda!

Oh! Looks like I'm following you today.

- Where should I...? - [Emily] Oh! Sorry.

Erm... just in Matilda's trailer over there.

I'll let you get settled in

and then I'll bring Matilda back when she's ready.

Come on, baby.

[Ben] Are you all right?

[Alicia] Still sad about not seeing you.

Will you make it up to me today?

[Ben] I can't come in today. Tilly's mum is instead.

Did I do something wrong?

[Ben] No! No, not at all.

Just still feeling pretty awful.

I wouldn't have missed seeing you for the world.

[laughs softly]

[Ben] Also, listen.

Tilly's mum, she's in a pretty bad place.

Think she might've skipped her meds or something.

OK.

[Ben] It just might be a good idea to stay away from her.

Stay away from the mad witch. I get it.

[chuckles]

[Alicia] Stop worrying.

Our secret is safe with me.

[chatter]

So, you can stay in here.

It's nice and out of the way, out of all the madness.

[Annette chuckles]

And you can watch everything they're doing on this.

- Thank you. - All right. OK.

[Emily chuckles]

Oh.

- [Lucas babbles] - It's OK.

[woman] Good morning, Alicia.

- [Tilly] Morning, Alicia! - Hey, Tilly! How are you?

[Alicia laughs]

[Alicia and Tilly laugh]

Oooh!

[Alicia and Tilly laugh]

- [woman] Madam! - [Alicia pants]

Forgive us, we have not been outside for several days.

The cold.

[woman] Oh, surely that would not stop one

as warm-blooded as yourself?

My lady.

[door closes]

[Tilly] Do you think she'll tell Father?

[Alicia] No, I do not.

I do not want Father to return tomorrow.

[Alicia] Nor do I.

[Tilly] You'll never leave us, will you, Mother?

No, my love.

I promise.

- [chuckles softly] - [director] Cut!

Beautiful, everyone, beautiful.

Let's move in tighter, please. Thank you.

[Alicia] Good job.

You know what? The thing is, when you come down...

[Alicia laughs] Where are you going? Come back.

[Tilly giggles]

[sighs] Sorry, I just gotta grab a screenshot. Do you mind?

Not at all.

[camera clicks]

Actually, sorry, I've got to change this one.

- Do you need somewhere private? - That would be great.

There's a spare trailer next to Matilda's that we keep free.

Perfect.

I'll get a driver to take you back.

Just gotta show these to Alicia.

She likes to know what each scene looks like.

And can you give this to Tilly? She can use it to talk to me.

- She knows how. - Oh, sure.

Hmm!

- Can you send it to me? - Oh, sure.

Thank you.

Can I just get you into your mark, here, please?

[phone beeps]

[Alicia] Something to make you feel better.

[exhales]

[static crackles]

[Tilly over baby monitor] Mummy!

Mummy, I'm talking to you on the Lucas phone.

- This is Alicia. - Hi!

On our way back.

Mummy! Did you see us on the Lucas phone?

I did!

Hi. It's so nice to meet you properly. I'm Alicia.

Erm, it's a funny way to meet someone

I've heard so much about.

Just a little game we play. I'm Annette.

Well, it's... very nice to meet you.

I've been watching you.

On the monitor. The scene you were filming.

Right. [chuckles]

You're very good. Captivating.

[Alicia] Well, thank you.

And she's just wonderful to work with.

Tilly was great today, like every day. [chuckles]

- You must be so proud. - I am.

Is Ben still feeling sick?

Who said he was sick?

Erm...

[chuckles] I don't know. Er, Emily, I think?

Ben is Ben.

Well, I just wanted to say hello.

- I'll see you tomorrow? - Maybe.

OK. Have a good night.

Goodnight.

- Bye! - Bye, Tilly. Bye.

[Ben] How was it?

Fine.

What, er... what scene did they do?

Oh, I don't know. Something with frocks and windows.

Hey, a funny thing. Alicia knew you were sick.

Which is strange because I didn't tell anyone.

I didn't think you'd want everyone to know

you spent the weekend shitting all over yourself.

[Ben] Ah, I'll tell you why. Emily.

Emily? You know the AD? Sorry, assistant director.

[Annette] I know what an AD is, Ben.

[Ben] I texted Emily to let her know I wasn't feeling well.

Just so she knew, you know?

And so she must've told Alicia, I guess.

[sighs]

That must be it.

Anyway, I'm good to go back in tomorrow, so you can relax.

[Ben inhales sharply]

[Ben sighs]

[sighs]

[indistinct chatter]

Good afternoon.

[man] How are you, darling? Are you good?

- [woman] Hi. - Hi.

[phone clicks]

[indistinct chatter]

[phone beeps]

[Ben] Hey.

- Oh. What? - Where's Alicia going?

She's gotta change.

Matilda's in the keep-warm tent.

I need to go, too. Back to base.

Oh. Er... do you need to see a medic?

What? No, no, no! I just need to go back to base.

Oh, OK. I'll let Matilda know

that you're stepping away for a minute.

Do you need me to...?

[lock clicks]

[Ben] I'm here.

Do you think I'm beautiful?

You are the most beautiful thing I have ever seen.

I want you more than I have ever wanted anything.

Tilly left something on set.

It's in the trailer, pick it up.

[beep]

[Ben] Oh, my God.

[Alicia] How much do you want me?

[Ben] So much I can barely breathe.

[belt buckle clicks]

[Alicia] What would you give for me?

[Ben] Everything.

[loud knocking]

[pulls up zipper]

- Ben, it's Matilda. - What?

- We can't find Matilda. - What do you mean?

She was in the tent. She must have wandered off somewhere.

What the fuck? Why wasn't anyone watching her?

Well, actually, Ben, that's what you're here for.

OK. OK, look. She can't have gone far. Are people looking?

Of course they're looking.

I should stay here just in case she wanders back.

I think it'd be best if you came to look with us.

If she turns up here, then one of the other ADs will see her.

- Do you wanna call your wife? - Why?

Yeah. No, sorry. I'm sorry. Just...

Can you so I can start looking?

[man] Matilda?

[man 2] There's nothing down here. Nothing at all.

[Ben] Tilly?

- [man] Matilda? - [Ben] Tilly?

- Tilly! - [man] Matilda!

[Ben] Tilly!

Tilly!

- [man] Matilda? - [man 2] Where are you?

[Emily] They found her! They found Matilda!

[woman 2] Yeah, she's fine.

- [man] Great. - [woman 2] Fantastic.

- [thud] - [Ben grunts]

Fuck! [groans]

Hey! I'm sorry. Tilly...

It's OK. She's here. You must've been so scared.

- Yeah, are you...? - Oh, my God. Ben, your hand.

It's fine. It's nothing.

I fell over when I was looking for Tilly.

Well, there she is.

Hey!

Where did you run off to, eh? We were so worried.

I got scared.

I'm gonna take her home, if that's OK.

Of course. That's a wrap for Matilda today.

Do you want me to come with you to get your makeup off?

- I think I'll be OK. - OK. I'll be right here.

[director] Hey, guys, back to it. Thank you.

[man 2 over radio] All right, everyone.

We're gonna pick up the interior of that scene

tomorrow.

- Where were you? - [Ben] What?

She was scared. Where were you?

- Here. - Why?

Because in case you hadn't noticed, I wasn't feeling well.

There are toilets on set.

[Ben] Fucking hell, Annette. It's fine, OK?

- Fine? - Yes, it's fucking fine.

Look, I stepped away for a minute.

Tilly wandered off, like she always does.

Now here we are. No harm done.

No harm done?

What's the problem?

You're always making things so fucking dramatic.

[Lucas babbles]

[sighs] Shouldn't you...?

[Lucas babbles]

[muffled] Alicia told me to give your hand a kiss better.

[Tilly hums]

[Ben] Mind out, Tilly.

[Ben grunts]

I have to keep an eye on you, don't I?

Running off and making me look bad.

[car starts]

[radio] During the confusion and bewilderment

of the second day,

Mary hid herself in the nursery and was forgotten by everyone.

Nobody thought of her, nobody wanted her,

and strange things happened of which she knew nothing.

Mary alternately cried and slept through the hours.

She only knew that people were ill...

[Ben] I wish it was you kissing my hand better.

[tires screech]

Shit! Jesus Christ!

- Oh, my God! - [Ben] What the hell was that?!

I'm sorry, it was one of those... What are they?

- Those small deer things. - [Ben] Christ, Annette!

[Lucas cries]

I know, it came out of nowhere.

[Ben] Well, it's the countryside.

You have to drive more carefully.

- [Lucas cries] - You OK, Tilly?

[exhales]

[Ben] Sorry, for Tilly running off like that.

Ruined the mood.

Shh, nothing could ruin this.

Let me take you away somewhere.

As soon as this is over.

[laughs softly]

And where will you take me?

Somewhere warm. Where it's just us.

What have I done to deserve that?

[Ben] You've made me feel alive.

For the first time in years.

[Alicia] But how would I ever repay you?

[chuckles]

I'm sure you'd find a way.

If I deserve it.

You deserve everything that I'm going to give you.

[light switch clicks]

- [whispers] Mummy? - [Annette] Shh.

[birdsong]

[door slams]

[Lucas crying]

- Morning! - [car starts]

- [phone line rings] - [TV playing]

[hangs up]

[Annette] Thought you could do with the sleep,

so didn't wake you.

Fed Lucas. Milk in the fridge.

Bitch.

[Tilly] Mother! Where are you going?

[Alicia] I have to leave.

Take me with you!

I can't, my love.

[Tilly] Please, Mother, don't leave me with him.

You should be ashamed of yourself.

[cries]

[Tilly] Mother!

Please, Mother! Please!

Make her stop!

You said you'd never leave me! Mother!

Oh! [sighs]

[director] Look around.

Look around.

[pants]

[director] And cut! Fabulous! That was brilliant, Matilda!

That's a wrap on the marvelous Matilda!

[cheering and applause]

- [Annette] Brilliant. - [woman] Well done, Matilda.

Did you hear that?

That's you! My marvelous Matilda.

Emily, could you watch Tilly for a second?

Sure.

One moment, my love.

[Emily] Well done, Tilly. You were great.

[indistinct chatter]

- [Ben] How'd it go? - She was amazing.

What've you done?

- What? - With your day?

Well, you left me with Lucas, so nothing.

Where is he?

I put him to bed.

Dinner?

- Whatever you want. - Perfect.

[record crackles]

[soul music plays]

What are you doing?

Dinner's almost ready.

[Ben] Why are you dressed up?

Because it was Tilly's last day.

- [doorbell rings] - [Ben] What's...?

[Annette] Could you get that?

- Hi. - Wha...?

- [Tilly] Alicia! - Hi, Tilly!

- What are you...? - Surprise, Tilly!

What's going on?

Annette invited me over so I can say a proper goodbye.

[Annette] Come in, come in. It's freezing.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

- What the fuck are you doing? - What?

What do you mean, what?

You just invited her over without telling me?

Get out of my way, Ben.

So, Tilly, you don't think you'll want to be an actress

when you grow up?

[Tilly] I don't really know.

But you're so good!

She really is.

I've had a few other daughters before,

but none of them like Tilly.

[Annette] I can't believe that!

You're too young to be playing mothers.

[chuckles] Oh, come on. We're about the same age.

And in films, that means

I'm basically ready to play the cranky grandma. [laughs]

[as old woman] "What do you think, Tilly?

Do you know where Nonna Alicia left her teeth?"

[laughter]

- You're so good with her. - You really are.

[Alicia] Tilly, can I ask you a question?

I noticed you closing your eyes today

when we were doing the scene.

Mummy taught me.

[Alicia] Really?

It's just something we came up with when Tilly was auditioning.

[Tilly] Mummy told me to close my eyes

and think of something that made me sad.

Oh. [chuckles] And what do you imagine, Tilly?

- [whispers] It's a secret. - [Annette] That's OK, Tilly.

You can tell Alicia. She's special.

Well, I thought of the summer that Daddy went away

and Mummy cried a lot.

I was away. Working. Research.

Anyway, I was gone a couple of months.

Eight months.

It was eight months.

[Ben chuckles softly]

Right, Tilly Mouse. I think it's time to get you up to bed.

Yeah, maybe I should go.

[Annette] Oh, you'll stay and tuck her in, won't you?

You'd like that, Tilly, for Alicia to say goodnight?

- Yes, please! - [chuckles softly] OK.

Clean up the mess, would you, Ben?

- Goodnight, my love. - Night-night, Mummy.

Want to say goodbye?

Goodnight, Tilly. I loved getting to know you.

Will I get to see you again?

I hope so.

Sleep well.

Buonanotte.

[door closes]

Thank you for letting me say goodbye properly.

Thank you so much for coming. Tilly got very attached to you.

It's so lovely to have someone new around, isn't it, Ben?

So, Alicia, what's next for you?

Are you staying here or heading back home?

[Alicia] Well, I... I don't know yet.

Erm, sort of... depends.

On?

Just... life.

My year's been pretty messed up,

so I don't really know what I wanna do.

You know what I think you should do?

Take yourself off on a long holiday.

Somewhere warm.

Maybe I will. [chuckles]

And, Ben, erm...

how's... how's the writing going?

It's, erm...

Takes time, you know?

People think writing's just about, erm...

sitting down and doing it.

But a lot of it's, er...

A lot of it...

Oh, for fuck's sake, Annette.

- What? - [Ben] No, no, no. Not her.

Don't talk to her, talk to me.

OK. What would you like to talk about, Ben?

You know what you're doing and it's not working.

- What am I doing? - You're trying to embarrass me,

but you're only making yourself look stupid,

so I think you should just...

- Just? - Stop.

- Stop what? - Just stop!

- OK, I should maybe... - I'm sorry, Alicia.

Don't you do that.

- Sit down, Alicia, please. - [Alicia] Excuse me?

- Don't tell her what to do. - I'm not!

Maybe you should go and I'll call you later.

- What? - Careful, Ben.

Just shut up! Just shut up.

- [Alicia] I'm going. - [Ben] Alicia, please...

Alicia.

Wait, Alicia, please. Look, I know...

Ben, let go of my arm!

[door slams]

[car door closes]

[car drives away]

[Ben exhales]

[chuckles] You know, don't you?

I don't know how you know, but you know what?

I couldn't give less of a shit.

What do I know?

[Ben] Play your games, it doesn't matter.

- Ben, you're gonna have... - [Ben] I'm leaving you.

Did you hear what I said? I'm leaving you.

And I'm not sorry or ashamed to tell you that.

Do you know why? Because what her and I have is real.

Because she sees me. And I see her.

That woman has saved me from a life with you.

From a life in this fucking place.

I can't believe I have wasted so much time with you.

There's nothing left for me here anymore.

And that's why I'm going to her.

[laughs]

I want you to know that you did this.

All of this.

It was you.

[footsteps recede]

[door slams]

[sighs]

[inhales deeply]

[exhales]

[engine roars]

[phone clicks]

[phone line rings]

Come on! Pick up, pick up.

Fuck!

[hits brakes, tires screech]

[phone rings]

I am so sorry. That wasn't fair on you. On us.

But it's done, I told her everything.

Hello, Ben.

[scoffs] Oh, my God. You stole her phone.

You stole her fucking phone! Do you know how crazy that is?

You really couldn't tell, could you?
