there. - Like yin and yang. - Sort of. Or Shiva and Shakti. Lennon and McCartney. Look, Julian and Theo. Yeah, there you go. Julian and Theo met among a million protestors in a rally by chance. But they were there because of what they believed in in the first place, their faith. They wanted to change the world. And their faith kept them together. But by chance, Dylan was born. This is him? Yeah, that's him. He would have been about your age. Magical child. Beautiful. - Their faith put in praxis. - Praxis? - What happened? - Chance. He was their sweet little dream. He had little hands, little legs, little feet. Little lungs. And in 2008, along came the flu pandemic. And then, by chance, - he was gone. - Oh, Jesus. You see, Theo's faith lost out to chance. So, why bother if life's going to make its own choices? - Watcha! Baby's got Theo's eyes. - Yeah. Oh, boy. That's terrible. But, you know, everything happens for a reason. That I don't know. But Theo and Julian would always bring Dylan. He loved it here. It's the alarm! Someone's breaking in! What is it? Look at this. Shit. Jasper, hurry up! Where's Janice? Take the back path to the main road, then follow the map I've given Miriam. - Yeah, I've got it. - What are you talking about? Wait for Syd at the old school on Watchbell Road in Rye. Give him this, and tell him he's a fascist pig. - We need to get Janice. - We're not going, Theo. - What are you talking about? - You don't need an anchor. - No, Jasper. You're coming. - You need time. We'll stall them. I'll send them the wrong way. It's the best idea. Go on. Go on. Jasper. Theo, I've talked my way out of worse things than this. Believe me. Go on. Go. And remember, tell Syd he's a fascist pig. I love you. Hey, amigos! We're looking for Theo Faron. We know he was here a few weeks ago. Has he been back? - Who? - Theo Faron. I haven't seen him in weeks. There's biscuits and coffee on inside! Help yourself. You want a drag? Come on, have a drag. Lighten up. - What we got? - Here, Luke. There's a dead woman and dog inside. They're going to Bexhill. When did they leave? When did they leave? Pull my finger, go on. Pull my finger. I'll do it. Fuck you. Pull my finger. - Theo, I'm so sorry. - Don't you fucking touch me. You tell me the fucking reason in that. - It's all part of a bigger thing. - Shut up! Shut up and get in the fucking car. - Jasper? - He's fine. Everything's fine. I was 31. Midwife at the John Radcliffe. I was doing a stint in the antenatal clinic. Three of my patients miscarried in one week. Others were in their fifth and sixth month. We managed to save two of the poor babies. Next week, five more miscarried. Then the miscarriages started happening earlier. I remember booking a woman in for her next appointment and noticing that the page seven months ahead was completely blank. Not a single name. I rang a friend who was working at Queen Charlotte's, and she had no new pregnancies, either. She then rang her sister in Sydney. And it was the same thing there. You can relax. She's finished. As the sound of the playgrounds faded, the despair set in. Very odd what happens in a world without children's voices. I was there at the end. Now you're gonna be there at the beginning. Yeah. I'll be there at the beginning. Thank you. Kee, come on! We've got to go! Stop where you are. I'm looking for Syd. Hands above your head. You're a fascist pig. What did you say? I was told to tell you you're a fascist pig. - Say it again. - No, don't, please! Say it again. Say it! You're a fascist pig. Come on. It was Jasper's idea, you know. The whole password thing. He will piss himself laughing when I tell him about this. He's a cheeky old bastard. So proud of his weed. Syd could get it a lot cheaper from the gangs, but Syd likes to deal with Jasper. Jasper's straight.
