All language subtitles for The Athena s01e15 The Problem With Fate

When I was a kid, I didn't mind getting
lost.

I thought no matter what's around the
corner, I'd be okay. I'm doing my lift.

I stuffed on it last night.

I love that you actually listen to the
things I've taught you. It helps,

listening to things that are good in my
life.

Always have. But lately, I'm starting to
question that. There's the failed

photography assignment.

The disqualification from the red carpet
contest.

Getting kicked out of class.

not getting anything into the mid -year
show, and then destroying your work last

night. I mean, it all points in one
direction.

Sadly, the Athena just isn't right for
you.

You won't be coming back next time.

Starting to feel like everything fate
has had waiting for me is bad.

So, I'm done with getting lost. Even
just a little bit.

Oh, sweetheart.

All I want to feel right now is safe.

I really wish I was still a kid.

Instead, I'm drawn back to the college
that kicked me out.

I don't know why I'm doing this to
myself either.

Guess they're not missing me as much as
I'm missing them.

Hey, Miju.

Hey, you okay?

Yeah, I'm okay.

Um, we're out of milk, so I'm just
getting some milk.

Um, okay.

It's gonna be alright, you know.

We'll figure everything out.

Yeah, sure.

I know.

See you soon.

We got this all together No matter what
they say We'll weather any storm And

we'll ride it to the end Just stay
connected

Friends with a guy, do you have to do
things you hate for the friendship?

Like what things?

Like going to the football tomorrow
thing.

No, you definitely don't have to do
that. Okay.

I'm just going to say yes, though.
There's no way you guys are just

We have to be. I can't be someone's
serious girlfriend.

I'd have to remember things like when we
met or his middle name. I hate

remembering things. But you always blush
when you say his name.

Yeah, I mean, I think he's cute and he
makes me laugh and I'm not bored by the

things he says, but it doesn't change
anything.

You've been gone ages.

I thought you were just getting milk.

Oh, I just went to get something for my
sister when I was at home.

You know it's going to be okay, right?

Yeah.

Thanks.

It don't bring something to believe in.

I wake up looking for the glow

in this eye.

Yeah, my heart beats slow and with
purpose

with every step I take.

I can't do this right now.

Yeah, I'm coming home.

I

got to hold

on.

Hold on to that feeling.

I got to hold on.

Hold on to that feeling.

Cause I'm coming home.

It's 4 a .m. I wanted to be before you
left. Later it's going to be okay.

I'm coming home.

That's the word I know.

And knowing you're still there.

Knowing I'm not alone.

Yeah, I'm coming home.

Coming home.

Do you want a hand?

No, that's all right. I'm almost done.

I know.

I turned that really well.

How's my bed?

Does it miss me?

No. It's just happy to have me.

Oh.

Is this still happening? You being
homeless and tragic?

Tragic? is being a nasty little rich boy
with a bunch of boys.

Whoa, calm down. You're not in a kebab
house on a Friday.

And I don't need rescuing.

You know, I was so right about you.

I knew that if I got just close enough,
I'd see... Wow.

Eight blackheads on your nose.

So deal with that situation instead of
asking about mine.

And I'm not technically homeless anyway.

I have this room.

If anyone's homeless, it's you.

Yeah, and my bad back and crook neck can
definitely attest to that fact.

Do you think you'll start walking like
an old man?

Yeah, yeah, it's highly probable, yeah.

Oh, that would be sad.

If only someone cared enough to call
their parents, sort their finances out,

give me my bed back.

I can't, Sam.

Because you think they won't want to
talk to you?

No. Of course they'll want to talk to
me. They adore me. They're probably

thinking about me right now.

So you don't want to talk to them?

Not after what they put me through.

Turning up here and calling me Ellie.

I get it.

I think that makes a lot more sense than
you being scared to face them.

Right.

Because I'm not scared of anything.

No, you're fearless.

clever. So I know that you're trying to
shame me into it.

In my defence, my neck really does hurt.

Fine.

I'll play nice with them.

Can't steal your room forever.

No way.

Many? This makes almost no sense.

It makes some sense.

Right, because we've both got family in
Germany.

Yeah, no, you're right. It makes
absolutely no sense.

How have you been?

Good, yeah, yeah.

You?

Yeah, yeah, good.

I should probably find my seat.

No way.

Is this your seat?

So you think the universe is messing
with us?

No, because why would the universe care?
To the universe, we're head lice.

Well, I'll have you know that when I was
seven, I had head lice, and I was very

aware of them.

My careers advisor at school thought I
should be a dental hygienist. I used to

operate this, and my mum thought it was
fate.

But you disagreed?

Because you don't believe in fate?

Or the universe.

Okay. So if it's not the work of the
universe, then how come we are on the

plane at the same time, sat right next
to each other?

Maybe so then I could find out what
happened.

I mean, one minute you're at the Athena
and then the next.

Nothing happened.

I left.

I got a job.

You left because you got a job or you
left and then you got a job?

Can we talk about you now?

Yeah, I don't have much going on with me
either.

Good morning, ladies and gentlemen.
Welcome to flight B4512 to Hamburg.

Due to heavy fog, take -off is delayed.

Please remain in your seats and we'll
have an update for you soon.

Hi. Hi.

Come back.

You ready?

Don't be ready.

I'm in the right colours for football.

And he looks super cute, right?

You look like you're going to be cold.

And is that even a top you're wearing?
Because it looks more like someone

thought about a top and then stopped
right there at the thought.

You're wearing a thought.

You just don't understand that a top
doesn't need to look like a top.

I understand that it's cold out.

Well, I don't feel the cold because I
just jump.

See?

I'm warm now.

Okay, then.

Let's go.

Dad! Oh, I'm so pleased you're here.

There's a new Billy Caster place opened
up. Let's go and eat there.

Well, I'd rather stay here. I want to
see where you spend your days.

Good. If that's what you want.

But you're in London.

Don't you want to see something
interesting?

To me, this is interesting.

Athena, here we come.

Come on.

So, what's the job? Is it in Germany?

Er, no.

Ladies and gentlemen, I'm sorry to tell
you, we still haven't been cleared for

take -off.

We hope to have an update very soon.

Is that it?

I need to tell my parents I'm going to
be late.

That's a good point.

It's not sending.

There's no signal.

How can everything be broken?

Everything can't just break at the same
time.

I mean, if one thing breaks, fine.

If another thing breaks, then you just
deal with it. But then when everything's

broken, I mean, how is the person
supposed to handle that? It just means

everything is just broken.

And I'm not crying right now.

I'm not crying because this would be a
really silly thing to cry about.

But you're not really crying about this.

No.

I'm crying because... Because I got
chucked out of college.

What?

According to Ali, the Athena isn't the
right place for me.

But Ali's not as smart as she looks.

Don't listen too hard to what Ali says.

I've missed you.

I've missed all of you.

You haven't spoken to anyone from
college.

No.

I don't think Sam or Nisha or Satori are
ever going to forgive me for messing

things up.

And Lee.

I miss Lee so much, but I can't even
start a conversation with her.

What am I supposed to say? How do I tell
her that I failed, I got chucked out of

college, I'm never going to make it as a
designer, and now I'm running away?

What do you mean you're running away?

Well, my fight.

It's one way.

This is nice.

It is not nice. It's cutting edge.

OK. This is cutting edge.

So, fill me in.

What's been going on in Nellie land?

Well, Daddy, honestly, money has been
tight.

Moved into Nyla's for a bit to save on
outgoings.

You always taught me it's important to
save on outgoings. That's true. But Nyla

kicked me out. That's awful.

Why would she do that? I'm not sure,
Daddy.

But you remember high school?

Girls were always being mean because
they were jealous.

Well, you are the most beautiful girl in
the world.

But you're also broke.

According to my calculations, you've
spent over 3 ,000 on clothes and make

since you've been here.

This is money that should have been
spent on accommodation and tuition fees.

It wasn't just clothes and make -up. I
donated a lot to charity.

You need to stop lying.

I'm not stupid.

I know, but... I didn't want you to be
disappointed in me.

I thought I could handle things.

I thought people that didn't were just
not as clever or as pretty as me, but it

turns out I'm a screw -up just like
everybody else. You've made some

but you're young.

It's nothing we can't fix.

I'll pay your accommodation and tuition
fees directly to the college, and you

can have an allowance of 200 a month for
food and living expenses.

Have you already worked this out?

Like I said, I'm not stupid.

You don't hate me.

Of course I don't hate you.

You've always been my little Nellie.

You're not jumping?

Because I'm not cold.

Pretty stubborn, aren't you?

No.

Maybe.

I'm more annoyed at you than stubborn.

Why? You didn't tell me you looked cute.

We're friends. Friends don't have to
tell you that you look cute. Yeah, they

Well, girlfriends do anyway.

I'm sorry if this is a shock to you,
but... I'm not a girl.

I know.

This was new for me, that's all.

I'm just getting used to it.

Daddy, why don't you give the cheque to
me and I'll give it to Ali? We've been

over this. You've lost the privilege of
managing the payments yourself.

If she's not in, we'll just have to...
Ali, hi!

Here's the cheque to cover my
accommodation and tuition, and that's

so see you, bye.

Um, Nisha, why are you acting so
strange?

That again?

Oh, no, he didn't hear anything. Let's
walk away now. You just called my

daughter Nisha.

This has happened before at high school.

This has been a terrible
misunderstanding.

No, it hasn't.

aren't you going to say anything?

No.

Because I don't want to shout at you.

Why would you shout at me?

Okay, fine. Let's see.

Your ticket is one way. So you're
leaving London?

You're leaving the Athena? You're giving
up on being a designer? On your

friends? And now I am shouting at you.

I hate travelling.

Well, technically we're not travelling
because we're not actually moving.

Yeah, and...

Being pedantic is going to make me less
angry.

Well, did you think about taking Lee on
this visit?

Lee and I... We broke up.

She... She kissed Satori.

Lee and Satori?

Lee and Satori?

Satori and Lee! Yeah, OK, can you please
stop saying their names together like

that? OK, I am so sorry, but I have just
realised Lee may have said some things

to me which I have seriously misread.

And when I said all that stuff to Sam!

Oh, no, Lee must hate me. Is she OK?

She doesn't hate you.

And, uh... I don't know.

I don't know if she's OK.

Are you OK?

Really? You know what's tough? That I
couldn't see us together, you know?

I was imagining when we go celebrate, if
we both go into second year, I'd

picture graduation.

And I've never done that.

Never pictured things that way.

So, um... I've always been really good
at... imagining stuff.

Like, some of the things I see seem
really real to me.

Like, whole scenes will just play out in
my head.

And, um, recently I haven't been
imagining anything.

Nothing good or bad.

It's just gone.

Like, my whole future's gone blank.

So fill it in by not giving up.

I'm not giving up. I'm just...

Accepting my fate?

It's different.

Right. Well, there's no need for you to
wait. After all, people might see you

with me.

But it's just... Always going to be a
problem, I know.

You want me to be proud of you, but
you'll never be proud of us.

Or the life we've built.

The world you came from.

Like that.

You're Nellie, aren't I?

How can you be?

You're called Nisha now.

Hey, Nellie.

Go away.

What's the matter? You're upset about
your background. I can see why, Nellie.

The name's Nisha.

I don't think Neil Mill should exist.

It's basically nothing, nothing, meaning
nothing happened twice.

It's pretty common in football, nothing
happening.

So why do you like it?

Because when something does happen, it
feels like Christmas.

Oh.

Well, maybe I'll come again then.

You should have your coat back.

Have we seen you?

You have no body fat to protect you. You
could die and that would be on me.

You don't know how to be chivalrous.

Just friends?

Doesn't matter. I'm old -fashioned that
way.

Is it because you're old -fashioned you
don't do casual dating?

I guess.

I want a relationship like my mum and
dad's.

They were so in love, you know, from day
one, that he proposed to her the first

night he met her, and he hasn't looked
at another woman since she died.

Your mum died?

Seven years ago.

My mum died seven years ago, too.

Pretty weird coincidence.

Maybe it's not a coincidence of me
saying this.

Paige.

I remember what I said.

You're either with me or you're not.

And I'm with you.

You want to say something, I can feel
it.

Just that I know it must have been hard
today.

And I'm proud of you.

My dad isn't.

It's just, he doesn't understand.

I do. I think you love him. You just
want to leave Nellie behind.

Yeah.

You really get me, Sam.

I just get wanting things to be
different.

Ladies and gentlemen, I'm sorry to
inform you this flight has been

You can exchange your ticket at the main
desk for our next flight leaving in two

hours. Are you okay?

I thought you'd be the first in line to
get another flight.

Me too.

But I don't know anymore.

I don't know where I'm meant to be.

Okay, so, fate.

What exactly are you trying to tell me
now?

Where do you think I should go?

How do I stop getting lost?

Figure out if I'm on the right path,
with the right people, doing what I'm

to be doing?

Because you know what?

There is a place I want to be, where I
already feel at home.

And I don't want to give that up just
yet.

I'm not getting another ticket. I still
believe in fate. I mean, us on the same

plane at the same time, sitting right
next to each other. Come on.

I think there's a time and a place for
accepting it.

And maybe I accepted my place away from
the Athena a little too easily.

My decision is mine.

Thank you.

We've got this all together, no matter
what they say.

We'll weather any storm and we'll ride
it to the end to stay connected.
