Original subtitles

I think these are yours.

- Come in. - Cheers.

It was you that won that koala.

On the day I proposed.

I'm not taking it back just because we're divorced.

Besides you can't swing a cat in my place,

let alone a giant koala.

We had fun, didn't we?

Some of the time, at least.

Most of the time.

Not enough of the time, though, right?

I'm sorry, Pete.

Yeah... me too.

What time's your flight?

Six am, it's quite brutal.

Staying at the Excelsior?

No. The Andromeda. I...

I thought of staying at the Excelsior

but it'd be a bit weird.

You don't mind, do you?

Me going there?

It's just erm,

I feel a bit safer going somewhere that I know.

I don't own Cyprus, do I?

Of course I want you to be safe.

You have a great time.

You deserve it.

Hi Mum.

Hi, Susie.

Dad said it's done.

Yeah.

I hope you're happy.

Of course I'm not happy...

Anyway, it means I've got the money.

So we're all ready.

When does the salon go through?

Erm.. Probably like a few weeks.

Oh great, I'll be back.

Don't you think it's a bit weird, Mum,

just going on holiday right now?

I thought it might help me get used to being on my own.

Well just, yeah, have a nice time, I suppose.

Oh Mum, I've got to go, I've just had...

I'll speak to you when you're back, yeah.

Oh, give Milo a kiss for me...

Thank you.

Thanks.

Madam?

Oh, could I get a white wine, please.

Actually no, make it a martini.

- Pornstar? - Sorry?

Oh, err.. Yeah, yeah, why not.

I'd forgotten how beautiful it is here.

Oh.

Excuse me.

Erm, that man over there, could you tell me who he is?

My boss.

He owns this hotel, and a few others.

Is he a nice boss?

Sure. Pays on time.

Well thank you... Thank you.

May I?

Oh, thank you.

Thank you very much.

- Ooh. - No, no. I...

- You don't have to... - It's no bother.

Thank you.

Niko Angeli. Welcome to the hotel.

Oh. Thank you.

You've just arrived?

Err, this afternoon.

Is everything okay with your room?

Yeah. Lovely, great, yeah.

- First time in Cyprus? - No, we erm -

I, I come every year,

it's just I've never stayed in this hotel before.

Oh. Lucky us.

Well, I hope you have a wonderful stay.

Let me know if there's anything you need.

Oh, thank you.

Silly woman.

You send me the ball...

Bravo! Well done, my son.

Nice one.

That's it.

Yes, bravo.

Hi.

I'm finished, please take my table.

Snap!

Ah. How are you getting on with it?

Oh yeah, great.

Erm, it's a fascinating examination of... erm...

I don't know, actually, I can't seem to get past page ten.

Me neither.

Let me know if there's anything else you want to read.

I have all the Bront s, some Shakespeare,

fourteen Agatha Christies,

all the Harry Potters and the latest Richard Osman.

Why?

I'm trying to understand the English.

- Is it working? - It might,

if I ever got past page ten.

I'm sorry, I'm keeping you.

Oh no, stay, finish your drink.

I have some business.

Oh yes, of course. Thank you, yeah.

Great, thanks.

Are you free tomorrow, by any chance?

I'm taking my boat out, checking it before Winter.

I could show you some of the quieter beaches.

Oh, you don't have to do that.

Sorry, stupid idea.

Of course you have plans.

Well yeah, I do have plans, but erm....

I suppose page ten isn't going anywhere.

You want to drive?

No, I can't do that!

Come on, you're a speed demon, I can tell.

Okay, what... how do I do it?

Take the wheel.

We're headed over there.

- Keep it straight. - Yeah.

You want to go faster, yes?

Yeah, I do.

Straight, straight.

Sorry, sorry.

- It's gorgeous. - Hmm.

It's up here...

Wow. I don't know...

I've never heard of this place before,

in all the years I've been coming here.

Well, you have to come with a boat.

- Ah. - That is the only way.

That'll be it then.

It's just, erm... It's just beautiful.

- You like it? - Yeah.

This way.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

So do you live at the hotel?

Not usually.

I'm in between houses.

My wife, she stayed in our home when we got divorced.

I'm sorry.

No, no, it's better for her and for my son.

And I'm buying a new property, actually, not far from here.

So what's your son's name?

Theo.

He's a...

He's a total hooligan.

I'm terrified of him.

And you? Children?

I've got one daughter but she's all grown up now.

So, tell me about the house.

Oh.

It's erm... It's beautiful.

It's... on the beach.

You can do the...

Wow. It is beautiful.

When do you move in?

Er, should be a couple of weeks.

And you? You have a nice place?

Oh, nothing like that.

It must feel great, you know, moving on and...

Why do you answer each question with a question?

- Do I? - See.

So?

Well, you're much more interesting than me.

In fact, most people are more interesting than me.

I can't judge how interesting you are,

unless you actually answer some questions.

So...

Who made you sad?

I'm not sad.

Pete.

My husband - my ex husband.

And what did Pete do?

Marriages are hard, aren't they?

- That's a question. - Sorry.

We went through a really difficult time

a couple of years ago.

And...

I couldn't cope.

I wasn't strong enough.

I swore I would love him for better and for worse,

and I failed.

And we lost everything.

Including each other.

We are a right pair of losers, huh?

So, we should get really drunk, I think?

Yes, we should. Yes. Yes.

- Cheers. - Cheers.

- Cheers. - Cheers.

You are a good swimmer.

Stockport's under fourteen, fifty metres butterfly champion

nineteen eighty seven, don't you know.

I heard there was a strong field that year too.

I should get you back.

Yeah. Yes. Yeah.

Thank you.

That was... that was a wonderful day.

It was.

It was the best day I've had for a long time, actually.

I have to go.

Oh sure, you've got lots more guests.

But erm... are you free tomorrow evening?

Oh really, you don't have to look after me, you know.

Of course, I mean, if you don't want to -

Oh no, I want to -

And I want to, so...

So we should, shouldn't we?

Yeah, yeah, we should.

Till tomorrow.

Okay.

Goodbye, fellow loser.

Oh come on, that dress is made for dancing.

Oh, I've not been dancing for years.

Then it's about time you did, no?

Oh, okay...

And dancing.

I haven't heard that song for ages.

Still got it.

Never lost it.

What is this?

What are you talking about?

Well, I'm sure your conquests are much younger than me.

You think I do this all the time?

Well... you must do.

Why must I?

Because...

I just, I don't understand why you're hanging round with me.

You want me to, what, to make a list?

Okay.

Well, you have great taste in literature.

And you're a good listener,

and I am a man, so it's important I am listened to.

And...

I like how I feel when I'm with you.

It's been a difficult couple of years.

I don't think I realised how sad I've been.

And you've been sad too, but, you,

you still, you carry this joy with you.

When I am with you, I feel like...

...everything will be alright.

It's a gift.

I wish you could give it to yourself.

It's on.

It's nice to say...

- Ise poli omorfos. - Great.

- What does that mean? - You are very handsome.

Well, I suppose you are really.

This is ridiculous.

- Okay? - Okay...

I can't go anywhere, I can't see anything.

Okay, come.

Okay.

- Careful. - Okay.

Close the door.

- Straight. - Yeah, straight.

Up.

Straight, straight, straight.

Okay. You'd better not be murdering me,

because I haven't got the underwear on for that.

What would be the right underwear?

Well, if I'm gonna be laid out on a slab,

I want to be wearing matching knickers.

I won't murder you. I promise.

- Okay. Right, yeah. - Come, come.

- Yeah. - Okay, stop.

Up.

- A little bit more. - Yeah.

- A little bit more. - A little bit more.

Oh no! Okay, okay.

- Come, come. - Yeah.

Stop.

Okay.

So...

What do you think?

This is the most beautiful house I've ever seen.

Why are you sad?

Becuase I'm going home tomorrow.

What if you don't?

What does that mean?

It means stay.

Here, in this house. With me.

We barely know each other.

But when you know, you know. Yes?

Uh...

So you don't know?

Am I on my own, here?

Erm...

No, erm...

It's a stupid idea.

You have your whole life back in England with your job...

And your daughter...

Who's too busy to talk to me most of the time.

She'd love it here.

Free holidays.

But what would I do here?

You can be whoever you want to be.

I... I always wanted to run a bar, on the beach.

I have the perfect business partner for you.

What do you say?

Is that a yes?

It's a yes. Yes.

Mum, have you gone completely mental?

Sonny, can you take him.

Come here, little man.

I don't know, Mum. What...

What about Dad?

I don't think he's gonna be a monk for the rest of his life.

Oh my God, just shut up.

He makes me happy, Susie.

It is better for you.

You don't want to see me getting old on my own...

Well... well, what, what about the salon?

Nothing's changed there!

Don't worry.

You'll still get your deposit.

Don't worry, Mum?

You're running off with a guy that you've only just met.

I mean, will I ever even see you again?

Of course you will.

Come and visit me here, it's... it's paradise.

Oh my God, why can't you just be normal?!

Right then.

- Hi, Pete. - Hello, love... erm, Emma.

Are you back?

Look, there's no easy way to say this.

I'm not coming back. I'm staying out here.

Erm sorry...?

You're what?

Susie'll probably tell you but...

I thought it'd be best if you heard it from me.

What are you talking about?

I've met someone.

We're moving in together.

Pete, are you okay?

Smashing, yeah.

So who's the lucky bloke?

His name is Niko. I met him out here.

Must be quite the Adonis.

I don't blame you for being angry,

I probably would be myself.

Well...

Thanks for letting me know.

I'm happy for you.

Really.

Thanks, Pete.

That means a lot.

You like it? Yes?

Yeah, it's nice.

How about this?

Yeah, it's... it's lovely.

If you have changed your mind, I understand.

No. No. I haven't.

It's difficult for you, leaving everything you know behind?

They'll be better off without me, I reckon.

That's complete bullshit, but fine,

let's go with it, if it means you stay here with me.

I'm sorry, I have to take this.

Yes, hello.

Do we have any news?

I've been working with you for 20 years,

and that's all you have to say?

Sorry, it won't work like that. Thank you.

Is there a problem?

No. No. It's nothing.

Shall we... shall we take it?

What, just like that?

When you know, you know.

I am so sorry I'm late.

The meeting ran over.

Oh no, it's fine.

Do you want some food?

Erm, no. I'm not really hungry.

Are you okay?

I have bad news.

What's happened?

As part of the divorce, I'm selling one of my hotels.

Most of the money goes to my wife, a small part to me.

It's the last money for the villa.

The contract is signed.

The money is on its way, but...

the owner of the villa wants to complete the sale

by the end of next week.

Or... or they have another buyer standing by.

So, how much are you short?

It's... It's two hundred and twenty five thousand Euros.

The, the bank will even lend it to me, no problem,

but the paperwork won't be done in time for these stupid people.

Well, if it's only a matter of a few days -

I went to see the estate agent again, I asked him to beg them,

but they won't budge.

So, we will lose the house.

You must regret staying with me now.

Of course I don't.

I stayed here because of you, not because of the house.

The deadline is on Friday, right, for the villa?

Yes.

And your money comes in next week?

I know, it's so close, it breaks my heart.

Look...

I have some money, from the divorce,

it's supposed to be for Susie's business,

but she doesn't need it just yet.

- I can't ask you do this. - Well, you're not asking me -

I'm not taking your money, Emma. This was my idea.

- Yeah, but it's for our future. - That I promised to you.

Yeah, but I want to...

This is me putting my foot down.

And what if I put my foot down harder?

Please don't, that sounds terrifying.

I have a meeting in Nicosia.

Will you still be here when I come back?

Of course I will.

Why don't we go to that new restaurant tonight, on me?

Okay.

I love you, Emma.

I love you too.

It's not bad for a pair of losers, ah?

It's not bad at all.

Welcome to Lakes Bank.

Please hold and an advisor will be with you shortly.

Hello, leave a message.

Niko, erm. Just checking you're still coming tonight?

I'm already here. Bye.

Hello, leave a message.

Niko, erm, I waited an hour but they needed the table.

You must have been caught up in a meeting, or something.

Erm, I'll see you back at home.

I mean the hotel.

You know what I mean.

Bye.

Hello, leave a message.

Niko. Niko, it's me, Emma.

Look, I'm a starting to get really, really worried now.

Please, please could you call me back.

Please.

Emma?

Where have you been?

I'm so sorry. I've been an idiot.

I was... I was ashamed that I failed you

and I drank a bit too much

and it took me ages to find a taxi.

I... You must think I'm such a prick!

No, no. I don't, I don't, honestly I don't. I don't.

Look...

I've got something to tell you.

What?

I've paid you the rest of the money.

We can have our home.

But I... I told you...

I know you told me that you'd put your foot down,

but I put mine down harder.

We'll put your name on the deeds, huh?

Yeah.

I'll tell my lawyers to get straight on it. All right?

Okay.

Well, congratulations.

I just can't believe that it's ours!

It's the happiest part of my job,

making people's dreams come true.

Enjoy!

Thank you.

Please...

Oh, are they leaving the furniture?

Ah, they included it in the deal, at the last minute.

The vendors are going to the United States,

so they don't want to take anything with them.

Oh.

But we can rid of it if you don't like it.

No, no, it's beautiful.

You are a very special person, Emma.

You must never forget this.

Who are you?

What are you doing in my house?

This is our house. What are you doing here?

It's my house, my boyfriend and I just bought it.

I'm calling the police.

Your Airbnb booking finished yesterday.

- You can't be here anymore. - No. No my boyfriend bought it.

Niko. I'll just... I'll just call him.

The number you have dialled is not in service.

You need to get out of our house, now.

We bought it. We paid for it.

There must be some mistake.

The number you dialled is not in service.

Good morning, Madam.

Oh hi, I was wondering, could I talk to Mister Angeli, please?

Niko Angeli? The owner.

Never heard of him.

But you told me that he owns this hotel.

Maybe you had one pornstar martini too many.

Okay.

Niko, Niko Angeli. The owner.

Okay, wait there.

Let's go.

Oh, him! Theo!

Ask him where his Dad is.

Do me a favor Theo, go play over there.

Okay Mama?

He's yours?

Yeah.

Well, where's his dad? Where's Niko?

No, I told you, I don't know any Niko.

No, no, no.

This... this isn't right.

Now, Niko is his father.

And you, you told me that he owns this hotel.

I've got pictures, I've got... right.

Here, I've got loads of pictures on this.

Okay.

I think you've got this wrong, Miss.

Oh God...

Hello, do you speak English?

Sure.

Erm, I sent some money, to an account at this bank,

erm, by mistake.

And I was wondering, well, I need it back.

Er, you will have to speak to the account holder.

He's disappeared.

And erm... I...

I think that he's...

that he's conned me.

I think that he's stolen my money.

Have you spoken to the police?

Can I just have my money back, please?

If you give me an account number, I'll check the details.

Yes, okay thank you.

Yes of course. It's erm...

Here are his account details.

The account has been emptied and closed, I'm sorry.

You really should talk to the police.

I can't help you any further.

But you have to, because I need that money.

- I'm sorry. - No. No, please.

You've got to help me, there must be something you can do,

is your boss in the back, can I... can I speak to them?

- The money's gone. - No. No. No, it can't be!

- Please. - You need to go now, I'm sorry.

I am not leaving here without my money!

I know you have it. Are you working with him?

Just admit it... I'm not leaving!

Please stop or I'll have to call the police.

No! It's not for me! No!

I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry. I'm so...

I just... I just wanna go home.
