[suspenseful music playing]
[eerie rattling]
[heavy breathing, panting]
[intense music playing]
- [William grunting] - [Anna panting]
[forceful thrust]
[heavy breathing]
[short, sharp breathing]
[softly] I surrender to you.
[exhales heavily]
[inhales sharply, moans softly]
[gentle moaning]
[gasping]
[intense music fades out]
[Anna exhales happily]
[inhales sharply, gasps appreciatively]
[William] You know what you said... about surrender?
Did you mean it?
Yes.
I'd like a glass of wine.
[cork pops]
[Anna] So here are the rules.
You wait for me to say when.
You do not turn up uninvited.
Nothing happens beyond these walls without my permission.
It is my choice to surrender to you.
Do you understand that?
I give you your power.
And if you accept that,
then in this room, we can be whoever we want to be.
[exhales shakily]
Kneel
and I'll give myself to you.
[chuckles softly]
- [disquieting music playing] - [shower water running]
[shower water stops]
[chuckles awkwardly] Sorry.
What's inside it?
My thoughts, dreams.
Moments I don't want to forget.
Can I read it?
[Anna] No.
Not yet.
[William] Do you let Jay read it?
[disquieting music continues]
[birds chirping tunefully]
[Jay exhales heavily, sniffs]
[William] What time are you off to see Anna?
About an hour.
I'll have a shower, then head to the station.
Things are getting serious, then?
[Jay] Definitely. I can't wait to take her to Paris. It's a big deal for us.
[Jay coughs]
Yeah.
- All right. See ya. - Mm.
[unsettling music playing]
Come on, boy. Let's go.
[Edward] Hi there.
Someone else to introduce you to.
- James. James, James, James. - Ah, hello.
- Our new tsar for children's medicine. - Hello.
- My son-in-law, William. - Nice to meet you.
- He is going to be marvelous. - [cell phone chimes]
Holding the department to account.
Sorry, one second.
[indistinct chattering]
Sorry, Edward. Emergency at the hospital.
[cell phone chimes]
Uh...
I'm a friend of Anna's.
Oh. She didn't say she was expecting anyone.
Sorry.
- You are? - I'm Peggy.
This is my flat.
- I'll get Anna for you, shall I? - No, don't worry--
Anna. Anna, your friend is here. He wanted to say hello. Isn't that lovely?
[chuckles softly] I can see that you're busy--
[Peggy] I'm gonna open a bottle of wine. Stay for a drink, won't you?
[tense music playing]
I told you not to come.
[William] I only just got your text.
Who is she?
She's an old friend. She only stays when she's in town.
I keep an eye on the place for her.
What if she...
[Anna] You didn't say who you were.
Of course not.
Nothing to worry about, then.
[tense music builds]
[tense music continues]
Something's happening between us, I think.
I can't imagine you having an affair.
[chuckles softly]
It's not
an affair.
[Ingrid] Are we okay?
It's just been a
busy few weeks, you know?
I know.
Jay's taking Anna to Paris.
Why don't we do something nice?
I could book us somewhere along the coast.
- Oh God, that sounds nice. - Yeah.
- Maybe when things are-- - Less frantic?
Yeah, I know.
[kisses]
[unsettling music playing]
[William breathing quickly]
[cell phone chimes]
[tense music playing]
[panting]
Who are you?
[inhales sharply, moans softly]
[William] Let me read the diary.
[Anna] Earn it.
[pages turning]
[William] It's us.
The last time we were together.
Do you write about Jay too?
Why do you need to know that?
[William sighs]
Just
trying to understand
what we have.
And what you have with him.
Does he know that you come here?
He knows not to ask questions.
What if he found out the truth?
There are so many other truths.
Like I said, he allows me my secrets.
What if you're wrong?
[Anna] Leave it.
We have each other.
Leave everybody else in my life alone.
He has so much of you.
I want more.
I have so many questions to ask.
Well, then, you'll have to learn to love the questions.
- [groans softly] - Oh! What is it you're needing?
[William] I need
something.
Something he doesn't know.
[sighs]
Okay.
I had a brother.
Aston.
He died by suicide.
No one knew why at the time.
I'll tell you though, if you like.
He was in love with me.
[William] What?
He was completely infatuated.
He killed himself because I rejected him.
He killed himself because of me.
[William softly] I'm so sorry.
Don't be.
Is that enough?
Jay doesn't know this?
Only that Aston died.
Thank you.
Does knowing it change anything?
No.
Maybe it should.
Because damaged people are dangerous.
They know they can survive.
[Anna sighs]

[William] Yeah, yeah, just
lost in my music.
Since when do you listen to music?
[William chuckles]
♪ You stopped by to say hello to me ♪
I think he's gonna do something stupid in Paris.
- Sorry? - [Ingrid] Jay.
Wouldn't surprise me if he's taking a ring.
Surely not. Too soon for all that, isn't it?
[Ingrid] He's smitten.
Obsessed.
And who is she? I mean, we barely know her.
- [chuckles] Maybe that's how she likes it. - [Ingrid] But why?
Because people deserve a private life.
God, you're completely obsessed with her too.
Well, aren't you?
I really haven't thought that much about her.
Well, maybe you ought to.
Our son is in love.
This woman could be in our lives forever.
Where are they staying?
Well, some place Anna chose. Hôtel Dumas.
You'll be able to come to Hartley early, then?
Uh...
No, I'm afraid not.
I may have to go to Brussels on Thursday.
Oh no.
Yeah, sorry. It's a conference on European health policies.
[Ingrid] I was hoping we'd get a quiet one for once.
[unsettling music playing]
[woman over PA] The next service to Paris will depart in 20 minutes.
Please go to platform number 3.
[unsettling music continues]
[unsettling music intensifies]
[indistinct chattering]
[unsettling music fades out]
[indistinct chattering in background]
[Jay] Voulez-vous drink some champagne, mademoiselle?
- [Anna] What? - Smashing all the Paris clichés right now.
I'm not complaining.
[Jay] They totally think I'm drinking this on my own.
[glasses clink]
- [Jay] Smart. - [chuckles]
[cell phone vibrating]
Anything important?
No.
[tense music playing]
[outgoing call tone]
[man on phone speaks French]
[in French] Good evening. Madame Barton, please.
[man speaks French]
[in French] I believe she's in room--
[man speaks French]
[in French] Yes, room ten.
[man speaks French]
- [phone rings] - [in English] I'll get it.
[speaking French]
[in English] Leave the hotel. Go to the end of the street.
[speaking French]
- [Jay in English] What was that? - Hotel reception.
Asking if we're happy with the room.
- I've got time to shave, haven't I? - Of course.
Actually,
while you do that, I might pop out for some air.
- If you wait, I can come with you. - No, no.
Take your time.
Sure. Well, don't be long.
[inhales deeply]
[exhales slowly]
- [William] Oh. - [Anna] What the fuck are you doing?
[unsettling music playing]
[Anna gasping]
[Anna panting]
[William grunting]
- [Anna gasps] - [William grunting loudly]
[both breathing heavily]
You broke the rules by coming here.
Don't even think about following us.
[tense music playing]
[footsteps approaching]
[Jay] I thought you'd got lost.
- We should make our reservation. - Sorry.
I think I've got a migraine coming on.
Really? I didn't know you get those.
Not very often, but when I do, they're horrendous.
- God, are you okay? - Yeah.
[exhales slowly]
- I think I just need to lie down. - Okay.
[Anna] Sorry.
- Sure there's nothing else the matter? - [cell phone vibrates]
Learn to love the questions, Jay.
[unsettling music playing]
[unsettling music intensifies]
[indistinct chattering in background]
[receptionist speaking French]
- [in French] Hello. Do you speak English? - [receptionist speaks French]
[in English] Yes, of course, monsieur. How can I help you?
Can you tell me if room number ten is available?
[on phone] Of course. Let me see, monsieur.
[valet] Room number ten, monsieur.
-Merci. - [valet speaks French]
[groans softly]
[unsettling music playing]
[unsettling music intensifies]
[sniffing, grunting]
[moans softly]

[exhales sharply]
[gasps]
[unsettling music continues]
[inhales deeply, grunts]
[belt buckle clinking]
[sobbing]
[woman over PA] Please keep your belongings with you at all times.
Unattended baggage will be removed and may be destroyed.
You go ahead.
I'm not great company.
- Well, I'm not just going to leave you. - I think I just need to get home.
Yeah. Okay. Well, call if you need me.
[Jay] Bye, then.
[indistinct announcement over PA]
[driver] Mind how you go. Thanks.
[indistinct voices over TV]
[gentle snoring]
[faucet running]
[Anna] Mum?
[man on TV] Top, middle, or bottom?
[woman on TV] Well, let's go... I'll go the middle.
[TV continues indistinctly]
[audience whooping on TV]
[man on TV] Ooh! [speaks indistinctly]
[phone chimes]
[tapping keyboard]
[dance music playing loudly]
Thank you.
Cheers.
- [Anna] You dancing, then? - Yes.
Come on.
[dance music playing]
So, why are you back from Paris so early?
Oh fuck. Did Jay fuck up?
No. No, no. He... he was perfect.
So, what did you do?
- You know William, the man you met? - Hmm. The married one.
He turned up outside our hotel.
You're an absolute fucking danger.
The thing is, he's not just a married man.
He's Jay's father.
Anna, what is this?
- I'm so-- I'm just trying to-- - I don't need you to approve.
- What if their family finds out? - They won't.
- Well, how can you be so sure? - Because no one knows, and no one will.
But that's not true, is it? Because now I know, don't I?
Anna, I'm sorry. Anna, please just...
[dance music playing in distance]
[sniffles]
[breathing heavily]
[unsettling music playing]
[sighs heavily]
[unsettling music continues]
[courier] Anna Barton?
Yes.
[Jay] Put a smile on your face?
- [chuckles] - Thank you.
[Jay] Free tonight? There's something I forgot to say in Paris.
[Anna] Something is burning. I can smell it.
This is what happens when you come early.
Keep walking.
- I don't trust you. - No, you have to.
- There's a table coming up. - I know!
- Great. Now you're gonna feel for it. - Okay.
- [Anna] Oh yeah, there it is. - Keep your eyes closed!
It's gonna look like Versailles.
Right foot first, left foot.
[Anna] Why? What's going on, Jay?
[Jay] You'll see.
- Here's a beer. - Oh! [chuckles]
- Thank you. - [Jay] Enjoy.
No peeking.
[romantic French ballad playing]
[Jay] Uh-uh!
[silence]
Was the conference worth the trip in the end?
[William] Yeah. Yeah.
Glad that I went.
[cell phone chimes]
That might be work.
[cell phone chimes]
[Ingrid] William?
- [eerie music playing] - William!
What's the matter?
I just need to make a call.
[door opens]
[outgoing call tone]
[romantic French ballad playing]
[metal clattering]
What are you doing?
I need to talk to you.
-[Anna] This can't keep happening. - I know. I--
After what you did in Paris,
I need you to do something for me.
[William] Yes?
[whispers] I think Jay is about to propose to me.
I want you to give me your permission to say yes.
You know the rules.
Tell me to say yes.
William, what are my instructions?
Why?
[whispers] Because I want him.
He's my normality.
We're like any other couple.
It's right.
This is what I want, William.
Tell me what I want of you.
Anna...
when Jay asks you to marry him...
you will say yes.
Be happy, my love.
You won't have any less of me. You'll have more.
I hope so.
[Anna] Yes, yes, much more. Constantly more.
What did you need to tell me?
Nothing.
[gentle piano music]
[Jay] One.
[chuckles]
- [Anna] That better be it. - [Jay] Well... [laughs]
- Shall I run back down? -[Anna] Please.
[Jay] Put my chef's hat on like in Ratatouille.
I am actually in Paris. I can see the Eiffel Tower and all that.
How's your French accent?
Jay...
[unsettling music playing]
Anna Barton,
something shifted in me when we first met.
I've never felt so happy, and that's because of you.
Anna, will you marry me?
[softly] Yes.
- Yes? - [sobbing] Yes.
- Yeah. - [Jay laughs]
Oh, wait. I actually have a ring. Sorry. [laughs]
- I'm doing this all wrong. - Oh, Jay!
[sniffles, chuckles]
Oh, it's beautiful.
Thank you.
[both laugh delightedly]
[Ingrid] William.
Are you all right?
[slow soul music playing]
Yeah.
