Mile End?
(EXHALES) Big night?
What's your name?
-Anna. -Anna...
ANNA: Macy. Look, does it matter?
I'd like to go home.
Yeah, yeah, it was lucky it was us who found you, Anna Macy.
I can look after myself.
Yeah, I'm sure you can.
Don't touch...
All right, just trying to help.
You know your way back to the High Street?
Yes, I do.

Bring Molly Smith's file through, please.
NURSE JENNY: Doctor.
ANNA: We have to put her dose up.
-Start her on the new antibody. -Are you sure?
We're running out of time.
Psst.
Hi, Molly.
Hey.
Did you get your flower?
Is that for me?
For when I'm gone.
Molly.
MOLLY: Nurse Jenny said I might go home soon.
Did she now?
Will you miss me when I go home?
I'll miss you very much.
Can we read the poetry book you bought me?
Of course.

"I went out to the hazel wood
"Because a fire was in my head
"And cut and peeled a hazel wand
"And hooked a berry to a thread
"And when white moths were on the wing
"And moth-like stars were flickering out
"I dropped the berry in a stream..."
What's that? You're bleeding.
ANNA: It's all right.
It's all right. Happens all the time.
I'll see you in a sec, all right?

(MACHINE WHIRRING)
DEIDRE: There's a couple of micro lesions
near the angular gyrus and parietal lobe.
Is that significant?
I'm not concerned about them.
You say you lost seven hours?
ANNA: Thereabouts.
Were you drinking?
Till I passed out in a gutter?
No, I was meant to meet Tim for dinner.
DEIDRE: That still on?
(EXHALES) Probably not any more.
His wife will be pleased.
They're separated.
You lost time like this before?
ANNA: No.
A long time ago, when I was a teenager.
It was only an hour or so.
-Same symptoms? -Mmm.
Nose bleeds, migraines?
Did you suffer any kind of trauma as a kid?
No. Why?
Post-traumatic stress in childhood can recur
in adulthood if it's not dealt with...
So now I have PTSD?
Christ, I haven't been in a war.
When did you last visit home?
ANNA: This is my home.
-Is it? -(PAGER BEEPING)
Oh, shit, it's Tim. I have to go.
DEIDRE: Hold your horses.
I have someone you could talk to.
He's a friend. I've probably mentioned him before.
I don't need a psychiatrist, Deidre.
Or a husband. I'm not bloody mad.
Far from it. All you have is the fear of it.
(INDISTINCT TALKING)

Tim, if this is about last night...
TIM: Are you all right?
Yeah, I'm fine. Why?
Have a seat.
ANNA: What are you doing with that?
(SIGHS) I'll talk about that later.
Talk about it now.
I'm handing Molly over to Andrew Cohen.
-ANNA: What? -You've been absent lately,
your paperwork is behind...
-I know, but I'm fine now. -Are you?
Andrew Cohen's a tosser.
I'm a much better doctor than he is.
Look I'm sorry, but it's not negotiable.
Thanks for the vote of confidence, Tim.
Anna, wait.
I take it you know your patient
Frank Henderson died last night?
No, I didn't.
Haven't done my rounds yet.
Yeah, but you were here.
No, I wasn't on duty. You know that.
What's this about, Tim?
TIM: A security guard came to see me this morning...
With this.
It's security footage from last night.
So?
I think I'd better leave you to watch this in private.

Anna Macy?
We haven't seen you in years.
No.

Well, it's good to see you.

Ah!
You're Gracie, aren't you?
She's my girl.
Would you like something to eat?
No, thanks.
Gee, you sound like a Pom.
(BOTH CHUCKLE)
Oh, I didn't... Didn't mean it...
No, that's fine.
It's been a long time.
Yeah.
Do you mind if I stay here?
Oh, no. Yes, of course. You don't have to ask.
Cuppa?
You're still racing your birds.
ROY: Yeah, yeah.
Got two champions there.
I retired from the force, you know.
I bought the pub off Deb Russell.
You remember her, don't you?
Used to be a Grayson.
-Oh, oh, yeah, I think I remember her. -(CHUCKLES)
I was going to write and tell you, but...
Uh, you going to see your mother
while you're here?
Maybe.
Uh, can you get your own cuppa, love?

Sure.
Why don't you come down later and have tea there?

But we've got to deliver by the end of next week.
That's cutting it a bit fine.

What?
Just saw her up at the roadhouse.
BARBARA: Did you talk to her?
Hey?
Uh, no, no. Chloe served her.
Well, what'd she look like?
Max?
Max!
What... What do you want me to say, Barb?
She's probably just come back to visit Roy.
Maybe I should warn Renae. She's going to get a shock.
Don't start gossiping, Barb. Just leave your sister be.
Roy?
I wasn't expecting you.
You look nice today, Renae.
Is everything all right?
ROY: Is Travis here?
No, why? Is something wrong?
You mind if I come in?
No, of course not.
Can I get you something, a cup of tea?
Anna's back.
Ah.
I'm sorry.
I didn't know she was coming. She just turned up.
I wanted to tell you, before you saw her.
Thanks.

I know I can't.

I'm sure I left the car here.

Might have been the Middleton boys.
They're always nicking stuff.
Shit.

-Don't do that. -(CAMERA CLICKING)
Just for my photo collection.
So, um, are you staying a while?
Can't.
I don't belong here.
Not any more.
Yeah, me either.
ANNA: What's that?
A moth.
Why a moth?
Because they follow the light.
I've seen them too, Anna.
The lights,
I've seen them, Anna.
You'd be set if you knew where that kid was buried.
It says she's missing, not dead.
Out of here, Alfie, it's not a hotel.
Fuck off.
Senior Detective Brian Dutch.
What can I help you with?
I have to report a stolen car.
Yeah? It'd be halfway to the mainland on the ferry by now.

You know that button's for emergencies.
