THE THIRD DAY

SUMMER

What ? Oh no. No, no, no, no, no.

No, no, shit. Shit, Cas... Did they go in the office ?

Did they go into the office, Cas ? Because the...

Because the money is in the office. The money for Aday is in the office.

40 thousand pounds.

No, Cas... Yes, it was.

Listen... No, hold on.

Well you can just shout at me or we can figure out how the fuck...

No, no, no, don't tell the police ! Why would you tell the police ?

Because it's 40 grand in cash.

How are you going to explain 40 fucking grand in cash to the fucki...

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, yes.

I should've told you, and I didn't and I'm sorry.

But we are where we are and Aday needs that money today or we are fucked.

So, when the police go, would you please see if it's still there ?

Thank you. I'm gonna call Aday right now and see if I can re...

I'll make another... Well I'm gonna call him.

How are the kids ?

Oh Jeez, that's all we need.

Can't you persuade her to choose another instrument ?

Trombone it is then.

Yes, I'm just about to start.

I'm heading down to the river now.

Pull !

Step back !

Hey !

Hey !

Breathe... Breathe !

Shit !

Oh God.

Come on... Come on. Oh fuck !

It's okay, I'm helping you...

Can you breathe ? Can you breathe ?

Nod if you can breathe... That's good, show me where it hurts.

It's okay, it's okay.

My eyes hurt as well.

- You need to see a doctor... - No.

- I'll take you to a hospital. - No.

- I should call the police... - No !

- What's your name ? - Epona.

Look, Epona,

I don't know what I'm doing, alright ?

And you might have a serious injury and I can't just walk away...

Don't, he'll kill me...

Who'll kill you ?

Where do you live ?

Just drive straight, I'll tell you the way.

- Who was that boy ? - What boy ?

It's okay, it's alright. I'm just getting you some water.

See ?

Have you got some salt ?

Salt ?

Yeah. In the side pocket, I think.

I used to work with young people. I was in social care so.

And I know that doesn't mean I know anything about you

but what I am saying is I've talked with kids who'd been through stuff.

I understand problems.

You won't understand mine.

Okay.

I'll go first. My name's Sam.

And I am extremely pleased to meet you, Epona.

Yeah see ? Now we're communicating.

Yeah, well, don't go changing your Facebook status just yet.

Alright... What else ? I'm married.

I have three children, two girls and a boy.

My oldest girl is actually about your age.

I get crazy.

That's what you do then ? You work with kids.

No. No, not anymore. Me and my wife run a garden centre.

- Right. That's a bit different. - Yeah.

Yeah, that was the point.

Is it something at home ?

You know...

It's easier to sometimes say things to people you don't know.

It's a dog's name. Sam.

Where is it I am taking you ?

Carry on until you hit the sea.

I live on Osea.

The causeway opens in about 20 minutes.

Causeway ?

Yeah, you gotta wait until the tide's out.

Thank you.

Shit...

Aday, it's Sam. Look.

Look, we've been burgled...

Please will you call me back ?

Just call me, thank you.

Come on !

Fuck !

I'm waiting for a call, this... important call.

Maybe you shouldn't come over.

Why ?

- Why shouldn't I come over ? - Well...

Drive then.

You can't fall off.

Are you okay ?

Yeah.

Just... feels familiar.

- Have been here before ? - No.

My grandad was stationed here during the war,

that's how I know about it, but I've never been here.

You've not got long.

The causeway closes at 3.50 today. It won't open again 'til morning.

Look ! It's Jesus and the sea.

It's a festival. We do it every year, but this year's special.

They're opening it up, letting outsiders in.

- Turning it into a big music festival. - A music festival ?

- What, with bands ? - Yeah, we need the money.

- When does all that happen ? - Soon. This is just a rehearsal...

- How many of you live here ? - 93.

93 ?

And you're doing all this ?

You wouldn't believe what these people are capable of.

- What's all this ? - It's part of the festival.

They're the Sajora. They come from the sea once a year to sniff out evil.

If they find it, they cut it out.

Everything here is either salt or soil.

- Salt or soil ? - Yeah.

Sea or land.

Just stuff we believe in...

Traditions.

You should just go.

Just leave.

You know I'm not gonna do that.

Alright.

Take me to the Martins.

The run the pub, they're good people.

Epona, look...

If there is something hurting you here or scaring you,

you can tell me.

You're a nice man, Sam.

Thank you for caring about me.

I found her in the woods, on the mainland.

I just found her, I didn't... I didn't know...

Come with me now, love.

Playing was it ? Little game ?

Please don't tell my dad.

Just messing was it, love ? Little game ?

Shut up you, you fucking idiot.

That'll be it, some kind of game.

Look. I'm not a doctor, so I don't... I don't know if I...

Don't worry.

Now what can I get you ? We've snacks, there's crisps...

Nuts ? Fresh sandwiches ? I have a lovely guest ale on at the moment.

Fuckhead, in here, now !

Frederick Nicholas Charrington.

As in Charrington's brewery ?

Built this whole Island.

He was in the east end one day when he saw a woman,

surrounded by her starving kids,

begging her husband not to spend their last few pence on booze.

The man snaps, beats the living flip out of her.

Charrington steps in, he gets knocked into a gutter.

And when he looks up what does he see there above this raging drunk's head ?

But his own name: Charrington. He found God in that moment.

Bought Osea, took a bunch of drunks here to build a perfect sober world.

- And here we are. - Here we are. In a pub.

In a pub, yeah, yeah.

In a pub !

Can I use your phone ? I can't get a signal...

Oh, they're doing work on the main exchange this weekend:

it's an upgrade to handle the traffic for the festival.

It's intermittent now

but come four o'clock it'll be out for the whole weekend.

Landlines and mobiles, so if you're out we will be as well.

There's this man. I really need to phone him...

- What man is this ? - This guy, Aday, I just...

Aday ? What's that, an African name is it ?

I think so, yes. Maybe Nigerian ?

Yeah. Yeah.

Big African community on the mainland:

not Nigerians. Somalis.

I mean some say they cause trouble, but I don't think that's fair,

not after what they've been through.

Some of them have been child soldiers, Sam.

Lots of East Europeans too.

So, you need to speak to this man, do you ?

Yeah, we got burgled.

- Oh no ! - Yeah. Not our house, our business.

We run a garden centre, and they broke in.

My goodness !

Where's this ? Where you from ?

London. Now, I mean...

We're trying to move, there's a planning thing going on.

Today, actually. Which is why this is all so...

- Goodness, what a big day for you ! - I know...

Here you go: it's a small consolation, but still.

How is she ? Epona ?

Physically I think she's fine. But...

I do think it's beginning to hit home what she was about to...

She's not said anything but kids these days, they mess around. Don't they...

There was a boy with her.

Really ? She said was she was on her own.

Yeah, there was this young boy with her. Glasses, curly hair ?

Dunno who that could be. He's definitely not from Osea.

I think she's hiding something.

What would she be hiding ?

What do you know about her father ?

Hold on a minute, Sam... Jason's a good man.

He's a bit rough around the edges, as are many here,

but they are all good people, I promise you that.

- Do you have children ? - Yes, three: two girls and a boy.

Oh wonderful. What a great blessing.

One never given to me and my wife.

Seven pregnancies, Sam, seven.

Not one came to term, not one.

No. Oh well.

I guess it wasn't God's plan.

We get by. We're happy, we live,

but deep inside something is missing, yeah.

Well you're welcome to stay. I'd love that.

We've a room free upstairs, room number one, it's on the house for you.

I know you'll be wanting to get back to your family.

Be desperate, today of all days.

- Jesus and the Sea ? - Esus and the sea.

Esus was sort of like a Celtic war God.

Some do choose to make a link with our saviour.

Early Christian scholars in England were druidic,

not many people know that.

We're using our history for this festival: there's a lot of it here.

We need this to work. Times have been hard.

We been through some bad things.

You just out for a walk in those woods then ?

Yeah, yeah, I was just...

By that stream ? Long way from home on such an important day.

- My wife says she recognises you. - Excuse me ?

Yeah. She says there's something familiar about your face.

I've never been here before.

Oh well. She's a funny fish, my wife.

Look, there is something going on with Epona.

I need to know you get that.

Sam...

It's okay: Epona is safe.

You saved her.

You saved this child.

Right ?

Now let's get you off Osea before that causeway closes

and you have to stay here in paradise forever !

Now that is not good.

They burgled office - money gone. All the money is gone.

Sam ?

Sam ?

He's not there...

Danny. He's not up at the big house. I dunno where he is.

- How long until the causeway closes ? - 15, maybe 20 minutes.

No, I need to get off this island.

You may be out luck. But like I say, we've a room for you.

Number one, no key, no-one has locks here.

It's yours, free of charge if you want it.

No, I need to get to get off this fucking island, now !

I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I just...

Look, alright.

I'm gonna tell you something.

My wife just texted me. The burglars took only one thing: cash.

40 thousand pounds in cash.

Why would you have 40 thousand pounds in cash ?

The man I told you I have to call, Aday, he's a planning officer

and we're bribing him to get our plans approved.

They are in final committee. Today, this afternoon.

This is not who we are, it's really not.

But it was the only way. They said... they won't...

They said they were going to turn it down, he told me they would.

I need to talk to him. I need to a phone that works.

So, who knew about this money ?

Just me. And...

And Aday ?

Sam, you know this man's robbed you, don't you ?

You tell him you know.

He's just got greedy, that's all. You tell him you know he did it.

Say you're calling the police unless he plays ball.

He's just chancing it. He's not gonna want to go down for burglary.

You tell him.

I really need to get to a phone. I can't even get a signal.

I just got that text and then it died again.

Look, I'll go to the pier,

Danny can't be far, we'll get you over the causeway.

- Thank you. Thank you for all this. - Don't be silly.

After what you did for Epona ?

Helping people is what this place is all about.

Looks like you're staying.

- No, I can't stay. - You can't leave.

How's Epona doing ?

I remember you so well.

Excuse me ?

Making those appeals. On the TV...

I remember thinking, my God, what a man.

To lose how you lost.

Your precious little angel.

People getting angry and wanting to blame immigrants.

And you come out afterwards and say "No, don't. Don't blame them."

That was a long time ago.

Pain doesn't know time.

Must hurt going back into those woods...

It does.

But that's the point.

Most people are scared of pain.

But they don't know how warm it can be.

Tell me, Sam.

Did you really think we shouldn't blame them ?

Weren't you tempted just to hurt someone ?

I need to use the toilet.

Yeah. Use the nice one, the one upstairs.

What are you doing ?

What did you do ?!

Get him out of here ! Just go !

Why is he here ?

- That's my daughter. - I know...

Why the fuck is he here now ?

Oh, here we go...

Fuck !

He had a fucking gun !

He's a farmer, Sam...

He turns up with a gun because someone's asking some questions.

Doesn't that say something to you ?

Look... Jason's not dangerous.

Really ? She looked terrified, terrified of him.

She's not scared, she's angry, that's all.

She didn't want us to say anything, but he's her dad, we had to.

We are all people of God here.

Now I know not everyone believes and that's fine, it's a modern world,

we don't judge. But we look after one another, take care of each other.

That girl is a daughter to us all. We won't let her be hurt.

Sorry, sorry...

Danny ! Where've you been ? This man needs to make the causeway !

Oh, shit, you'd better hurry, mate, causeway is closing now.

Mate ? It's fucking closing.

Good luck with the planning fella. I hope it goes like you deserve.

Thank you.

Go on there.

Hey !

Wait !

Hold on !

Hold on !

I just want to talk !

That fucking cunt up at the big house... Why is he leading us ?

- Because he's in the big house ? - Fuck the big house.

He's a fucking cunt and we all know it.

Even he knows he's a cunt, that's how much of a cunt he is...

He's never done anything more than messed things up...

He comes in here, fucking saying things about you...

Holding on to your daughter...

Needs to be taken, J...

I need a piss.

For God's Sake !

- What are you doing ? - It's alright. It's okay. I'm here.

- What ? - In this room, staying here.

- Were you watching me ? - No !

No, I didn't know you... They said I could...

- They said I could have this room. - This is my room.

- I know, but they said... - Get out.

- They... - Get the fuck out !

Look, I didn't mean to shock you.

The bed was disturbed but it didn't look like there was a person in it.

- Well there was a person in it. - Yes, I know that.

And that is my fucking room, okay ? I paid for it, it is mine.

- Yeah. - Okay.

God.

- Do you at least want a drink ? - I don't drink.

Alright, give me one of those.

- I thought you didn't drink. - I'm not looking for a sponsor.

Look, I'm sorry I was a little...

I'm not normally like this, it's just I was asleep.

Standing over someone while they're asleep, that's creepy, it's...

- What the fuck are you doing ? - I need to make a call.

I have a planning thing going through right now

and if I don't make a call in the next 20 minutes it will completely collapse,

and I might lose my business and my home

and none of the fucking phones are working !

My phone's working.

What ?

Yeah, it's cutting out a little bit because of the work on the exchange,

but generally it's fine.

They said all the lines were down.

Can I use it please ?

Can I call my wife first ? She doesn't know where I am.

Sure. But you've only got 3 minutes. The engineers stop work at 5.15.

Then there really will be no lines until Monday, at all.

- Can I take this outside ? - No, fuck you, that's my phone.

Yep...

Aday ? Aday, it's Sam.

No, I'm in a place where my phone doesn't get reception.

Now ? You're going in right now ?

Okay. Alright, I know what you did. Okay ? I know.

Aday, only the money was missing.

Only you and I knew about it. How do you...

Alright, stop, stop. I'm gonna tell you what's going to happen,

you are going to go in there and pass our applications.

Listen, you are going in and going to pass our plans,

or the next call I make is to the police.

Do you understand ?

Yes, I know, there will be repercussions for me,

but you will go down for burglary. You, you will lose your job...

What do you mean ?

What hospital ?

Your wife ? What emergency ?

So, you have proof ?

Alright. Alright, yeah, I made a mistake.

No, no, no ! I mentioned the police.

No, I'm not gonna call them, I was wrong, I thought something wrong...

Aday ? No, no, no. Aday ? Don't turn it down. We can fix this, we can...

Aday ?

Aday !

So, what did I just witness ?

Look, do you want to talk about what just happened ?

So, you're here for the festival ?

I am.

I got my PhD on the Essex witch trials

and perceptions of women in Civil War England.

They're basing the festival on a Celtic Cromlach

and they wanna imbue it with Osea's history.

What is a Cromlach ?

It's like a Celtic bacchanal. Charrington revived it,

his big idea was to take criminals and addicts and give them a few days

to blow off steam so that they'd be fine for the rest of the year.

And how did that work out ?

It was a fucking blast, three people died.

I think you should, you know.

Talk about it.

I mean, all this stiff upper whatever shit ?

What do you think of these people ?

- What do you mean ? - Just...

I think they're great. I've been here a few times, they've always been amazing.

They're a little 'don't stray from the path', but they're good people.

Protective of their way of life but why not ?

If you had a place like this, wouldn't you want to protect it ?

You got kids then ?

Three. Two girls and a boy.

Nice. I got two girls.

Are you married ?

Kind of.

And what does he do ? Your kind of husband ?

Nothing.

He does nothing.

Excuse me ? Do you know where the owners are ? The Martins ?

So...

This is you, is it ?

Excuse me, I just spoke. Words...

You're nice.

I like your lips.

- You didn't make the causeway ! - Yeah, I didn't make it.

Larry, why don't you go home ? You're not supposed to be here now.

- And who's gonna stop me being here ? - I think you know the answer to that.

Come on.

Sorry about Larry. He's a good man.

Really ? He doesn't seem like a good man.

Ah well we remember him as a boy, was such a loving child.

When we lost most of the oyster beds, people changed.

Some found anger.

I put Mrs. Paffard in room one, love.

Yeah. And then you put him in it too, you fucking dog-brain.

Oh, I did ! Good lord, we've only the one room spare.

- They'll have to share then. - What ?

Or get out.

Don't worry, I'll get my tools.

We put a curtain up, you won't know the difference.

A curtain ? A fucking curtain ?

Look, causeway opens at 7.28, I'll wake you at 6.30 with an Osea breakfast

and make sure you get off safe and sound.

It's the only way. They're opening a hotel there in a few months,

The Seabird, but for now...

- Is that okay ? - Well... do we have a choice ?

Yeah. Swim.

- Where's Epona ? - She's safe.

That wasn't what I asked.

Look, I don't think there's anything going on, I promise you.

But I hear what you say. She's staying with us tonight.

She's had a day, but she's doing much better, looking a lot more cheerful.

Love, maybe we should fetch her so Sam can see she's doing fine.

Maybe you should grow some fucking balls is what you should do !

Oh, my wife, hey, her bark is something. But she got no bite.

She's soft as caramel.

But it is getting late and she's protective of the girl. So...

I'll bring her to you in the morning, I promise.

But in the meantime, I suggest you settle in and get good and pissed.

Drinks on the house, for both of you.

That doesn't sound too bad...

Yes.

Here he is, man of the hour.

- Let me get you a drink. You alright ? - I'm alright.

- Sure ? - Maybe later.

Hey. Hey ! This is Sam.

This one's for you, Sam !

Swim, Sam, Swim.

Show them you're some swimmer.

Swim just like the swan swam.

You know how the swan swam.
