0:02:10 > 0:02:13The world as we imagine the world.
0:02:32 > 0:02:34Hey.
0:02:37 > 0:02:39Hey.
0:02:45 > 0:02:48How would you feel about heading home?
0:02:50 > 0:02:52I've only just fallen asleep.
0:02:52 > 0:02:55Well, you have, I haven't.
0:02:56 > 0:02:59I have a tough time sleeping with someone else in the bed.
0:03:02 > 0:03:04Are you kicking me out?
0:03:04 > 0:03:06I have to go to work soon anyway.
0:03:07 > 0:03:11We dance and drink all night, we go back to your place, you fuck me
0:03:11 > 0:03:13and now you wake me up and kick me out?
0:03:13 > 0:03:15I can't sleep with another person in the bed.
0:03:17 > 0:03:20- That's funny. - That's just the way it is.

0:03:28 > 0:03:30I didn't know you'd started smoking again.
0:03:42 > 0:03:44What do you feel like doing?
0:03:45 > 0:03:47Throwing stones.
0:03:49 > 0:03:50At what?
0:03:53 > 0:03:55Seagulls.
0:04:02 > 0:04:04Sweetheart.
0:04:07 > 0:04:09- You'll find someone. - Shut up and throw.
0:04:24 > 0:04:26I suppose I should go back to work.
0:04:31 > 0:04:33Come on.
0:04:33 > 0:04:35Poor baby.
0:05:24 > 0:05:26Lebanon?

0:05:38 > 0:05:41Now that's funny.
0:05:41 > 0:05:45- What's funny? - Seeing you today.
0:05:45 > 0:05:46Hilarious.
0:05:46 > 0:05:49Come with me for a minute, will you? They want us at the hospital.
0:05:51 > 0:05:53Aren't you going to ask why I haven't been to work?
0:05:53 > 0:05:57- Well, you've been sick. - Not sick, just unhappy.
0:05:59 > 0:06:01Well, it's the same thing.
0:06:01 > 0:06:03Unhappy on account of a man.
0:06:03 > 0:06:06No kidding?
0:06:06 > 0:06:08So what are we wanted for?
0:06:08 > 0:06:10Er, to see a patient.
0:06:10 > 0:06:12- Why? - What's going on?
0:06:12 > 0:06:14Well, we're just going to find out.
0:06:14 > 0:06:17- You know he's really pissed off in there.- Excuse me.
0:06:17 > 0:06:18When can I take him back home?
0:06:20 > 0:06:22Oh, well, we just need to talk to him, so...
0:06:22 > 0:06:25- He needs to explain it all again? - Well...
0:06:25 > 0:06:26Look. Look, listen.
0:06:26 > 0:06:29He called me up, right, and he told me he was coming home...
0:06:29 > 0:06:34and then all of a sudden his voice breaks and he bursts into tears.
0:06:34 > 0:06:35Mm-hm.
0:06:35 > 0:06:39And then he starts telling me that he doesn't see any meaning to life.
0:06:39 > 0:06:42I mean, he's not usually like that. He's a truck driver.
0:06:42 > 0:06:43OK.
0:06:43 > 0:06:46And then he pulls over at the side and says he's fine again.
0:06:46 > 0:06:50- Except, he cannae smell any more. - He can't smell any more?
0:06:50 > 0:06:53Well, I told him to find a hospital
0:06:53 > 0:06:55because, you know, that isn't normal, is it?
0:07:05 > 0:07:08Hello, er... Donald.
0:07:08 > 0:07:10Stephen Montgomery here again.
0:07:15 > 0:07:18- Hi, I'm Susan. - Hello, Stephen. Hello, Susan.
0:07:19 > 0:07:22- You can't smell any more? - That's right, Susan.
0:07:22 > 0:07:23I can't smell any more.
0:07:23 > 0:07:26But is your mood back to normal?
0:07:26 > 0:07:29I've been sitting here for nearly 11 hours. My mood is not great.
0:07:31 > 0:07:34But you don't feel any discomfort other than a lack of smell?
0:07:34 > 0:07:35No, Susan.
0:07:35 > 0:07:39And has anybody else in your family or at work had similar experiences?
0:07:39 > 0:07:42I haven't got a clue cos I'm sitting here, aren't I?
0:07:47 > 0:07:50- What do you want from me? - I just want your opinion.
0:07:50 > 0:07:54I'm an epidemiologist, Stephen. So why am I talking to this guy?
0:07:54 > 0:07:57Cos we've got seven more just like him in Aberdeen.
0:07:57 > 0:07:58Five in Dundee.
0:07:58 > 0:08:0211 right here in Glasgow. 18 in Edinburgh.
0:08:02 > 0:08:04There's over 100 reported cases in England.
0:08:04 > 0:08:08They've got them in France, Belgium, Italy, Spain.
0:08:09 > 0:08:12They've all appeared in the last 24 hours.
0:08:16 > 0:08:18How were they infected?
0:08:18 > 0:08:20I'm not sure they are.
0:08:20 > 0:08:23Meaning?
0:08:23 > 0:08:28Well, all the early indications suggest no connection between them at all.
0:08:28 > 0:08:30No contact. No pattern. Nothing.
0:08:31 > 0:08:33GLASS MUTES VOICE
0:08:36 > 0:08:39Is my wife still out there? Let me speak to my wife.
0:08:39 > 0:08:41Please, let me speak to my wife.
0:08:44 > 0:08:46GLASS MUTES VOICE
0:08:49 > 0:08:51- STEPHEN: - Maybe it'll just go away.
0:08:56 > 0:08:58- So we won't panic. - Hm.
0:09:01 > 0:09:03CHATTER AND LAUGHTER
0:09:07 > 0:09:10Michael, that's a table of 12 just sat down.
0:09:10 > 0:09:11- Where are they, at the bar? - Yeah.
0:09:11 > 0:09:15Where's that lobster and haggis? I need that right now.
0:09:15 > 0:09:17- That's table five, mains. - You're an arsehole.
0:09:17 > 0:09:19- What's the matter with you? - What?
0:09:19 > 0:09:22- Those starters for table seven... - That girl was such a sweetheart.
0:09:22 > 0:09:24- What girl? - "What girl?"
0:09:24 > 0:09:26You just fucked her and dumped her, didn't you?
0:09:26 > 0:09:29- Poor little baby. - Theresa, where's those salads?
0:09:29 > 0:09:33OK, one oysters, one soup, an antipasti, two duck and a steak rare.
0:09:33 > 0:09:34Yes, Chef.
0:09:36 > 0:09:38I'd have made her breakfast.
0:09:38 > 0:09:40Strawberries, heated the milk for her coffee.
0:09:40 > 0:09:43But they don't want to fuck the nice guy. They want to fuck the arsehole.
0:09:43 > 0:09:46- Next two checks at the same time. - Yes, Chef.
0:09:46 > 0:09:48How about those ravioli, boys? How long on those?
0:09:48 > 0:09:51- Three minutes, Chef. - Right, right, right.
0:09:51 > 0:09:53- Chef. - OK, how do we know it's fresh?
0:09:53 > 0:09:55- We smell it? - No, check the eyes.
0:09:55 > 0:09:57They should be clear. The gills should be red.
0:09:57 > 0:09:59- It should be firm.- And the smell? Fishy?
0:09:59 > 0:10:01It can smell fishy. But if it does, it's not fresh.
0:10:01 > 0:10:04It should smell like the sea. Does it smell like the sea?
0:10:04 > 0:10:07- Mostly smells of fish. - Get me another fucking sea bass.
0:10:09 > 0:10:11One day.
0:10:12 > 0:10:15One day, son, you'll be in love.
0:10:16 > 0:10:19And you'll be miserable. Table seven. That's your karma.
0:10:19 > 0:10:22- Hot pot! - Truly in love and miserable.
0:10:22 > 0:10:24Richard, I need that pot back!
0:10:24 > 0:10:25Richard!
0:10:49 > 0:10:51PHONE BUZZES
0:10:56 > 0:10:58- Hi, Jen. - 'Hi, sweetheart.'
0:11:00 > 0:11:02Really?
0:11:04 > 0:11:06- 'Do you want to come with me?' - Of course I do.
0:11:06 > 0:11:07'Great.'
0:11:21 > 0:11:23'I can find someone else if you're busy.'
0:11:23 > 0:11:25Don't worry, it might not be that serious.
0:11:25 > 0:11:27I'll call you as soon as I know more.
0:11:27 > 0:11:30OK? WOLF WHISTLE >
0:11:30 > 0:11:32You wouldn't happen to have a spare cigarette?
0:11:32 > 0:11:34- I'm on the phone. - 'Who's that you're talking to?'
0:11:34 > 0:11:37Oh, nothing. It's just a guy asking for a cigarette.
0:11:37 > 0:11:39- 'OK, I better go.' - Yeah.
0:11:39 > 0:11:41- 'Bye.' - Hmm.
0:11:41 > 0:11:43- OK, OK. Bye. - Have you got a light?
0:11:46 > 0:11:49How about board and lodging, while we're at it?
0:11:49 > 0:11:51Nah, I don't even know your name.
0:11:53 > 0:11:55Do you have one, though?
0:11:56 > 0:11:59Shit.
0:11:59 > 0:12:02Oh, dear.
0:12:02 > 0:12:05- I'm Michael. - I work in the restaurant there.
0:12:07 > 0:12:09- All right, sailor. - I'm a chef.
0:12:09 > 0:12:11Good for you.
0:12:14 > 0:12:16Come on, guys. What have we got?
0:12:16 > 0:12:19We've checked all the Scottish cases but have no obvious matches.
0:12:19 > 0:12:21No proteins mutating, no prions, nothing.
0:12:21 > 0:12:25There's nothing to say it's a virus. Nothing that matches anything we know.
0:12:25 > 0:12:28But it's fair to say it isn't obviously contagious.
0:12:28 > 0:12:30It's fair to say it's spreading.
0:12:30 > 0:12:32OK.
0:12:32 > 0:12:35Could be environmental, it could be a toxin we know nothing about.
0:12:35 > 0:12:37It could be terrorism.
0:12:39 > 0:12:40OK, so it's not a contagion.
0:12:40 > 0:12:45I'll tell them... probably disappear in a short while and don't panic.
0:12:45 > 0:12:47Maybe they put something in the water.
0:13:13 > 0:13:16'Overwhelmed with grief.
0:13:17 > 0:13:20'People are hit with all that they've lost.
0:13:23 > 0:13:25'Lovers they never had.
0:13:29 > 0:13:31'All the departed friends.
0:13:34 > 0:13:37'They think of all the people they've hurt.
0:13:53 > 0:13:55'First, overwhelmed with grief.
0:13:59 > 0:14:01'And then no sense of smell.
0:14:04 > 0:14:06'That's the disease.
0:14:13 > 0:14:15'They call it Severe Olfactory Syndrome.
0:14:18 > 0:14:19'SOS.'
0:14:21 > 0:14:25- TV:- This is a cause for concern and requires a heightened state of alert.
0:14:27 > 0:14:29But it's not a cause for alarm.
0:14:29 > 0:14:30NEWS REPORTS IN VARIOUS LANGUAGES
0:14:33 > 0:14:34We stand ready for the arrival
0:14:34 > 0:14:36of the first confirmed case of infection...
0:14:36 > 0:14:40The World Health Organisation's stepping to level five
0:14:40 > 0:14:43doesn't automatically mean that the human race...
0:15:03 > 0:15:05'They say it isn't contagious.
0:15:08 > 0:15:11'But who dare believe that?'
0:15:36 > 0:15:38Nothing.
0:15:44 > 0:15:46Well, shall we call it a night?
0:15:46 > 0:15:48I don't know what the fuck we should call it.
0:15:48 > 0:15:50Let's go chase some pretty ladies, huh?
0:15:50 > 0:15:52- You chase, I'll pick up the pieces. - I don't feel like it.
0:15:52 > 0:15:55Come on. You want to watch that, Rich.
0:15:55 > 0:15:58That's what happens when you have too much high-class fanny.
0:15:58 > 0:16:01He's been gorging himself on Europe's finest.
0:16:01 > 0:16:03- I'm going to get the Entonox quick! - What's that?
0:16:03 > 0:16:06Entonox. Laughing gas. Saint Nitrous.
0:16:06 > 0:16:08Patron saint of pastry chefs.
0:16:08 > 0:16:10Richard, don't. It'll make you feel...
0:16:10 > 0:16:11James, leave him alone.
0:16:11 > 0:16:13- Ssh. - James.
0:16:13 > 0:16:15- I recommend it for you especially, sir.- Put it back.
0:16:15 > 0:16:18What? Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Stop, stop, stop.
0:16:18 > 0:16:21Sniff my finger?
0:16:21 > 0:16:23Yeah? I can smell that. Oranges.
0:16:23 > 0:16:25Wrong. Balls.
0:16:26 > 0:16:27Man down! Man down!
0:16:27 > 0:16:29Quickly, evacuate! Evacuate!
0:16:31 > 0:16:33- Goodnight. - See you later.
0:16:33 > 0:16:35- See you later, boss. - Cheers, boys.
0:16:35 > 0:16:37Goodnight.
0:16:39 > 0:16:41- Keep smiling. - Goodnight, James.
0:16:56 > 0:17:00- Got your own smokes tonight, sailor?- I'm still a chef.
0:17:03 > 0:17:06My dad called everybody sailor.
0:17:06 > 0:17:08He worked in the docks all his life.
0:17:08 > 0:17:11He never went sailing anywhere, but he called everybody sailor.
0:17:11 > 0:17:12All right.
0:17:12 > 0:17:16Even people he didn't know. "Hello, sailor." "Goodbye, sailor."
0:17:16 > 0:17:21Well, you can call me sailor, if you like. Or Michael.
0:17:21 > 0:17:24When I was a child, I thought it was really embarrassing.
0:17:24 > 0:17:26Now I'm doing it myself.
0:17:27 > 0:17:29Are you hungry?
0:17:31 > 0:17:35People aren't eating in restaurants these days and we've got a lot of spare food.
0:17:49 > 0:17:51Hm.
0:17:51 > 0:17:55This is... monkfish cheek.
0:17:57 > 0:17:59Fish is my thing.
0:18:06 > 0:18:08- Good? - Mmm.
0:18:11 > 0:18:12Mm.
0:18:18 > 0:18:20THEY LAUGH
0:18:20 > 0:18:23- I'm a bit greedy when I eat. - Oh, that's all right.
0:18:23 > 0:18:25I had a disorder when I was younger.
0:18:25 > 0:18:27Just trying to catch up.
0:18:32 > 0:18:35So what do you do... when you're not eating?
0:18:36 > 0:18:38- Death and misery. - What?
0:18:40 > 0:18:42I'm an epidemiologist.
0:18:44 > 0:18:46I'll get you something sweet.
0:18:50 > 0:18:55This is a mango jelly and chocolate macaroons.
0:18:56 > 0:18:57And...
0:19:00 > 0:19:01I didn't make these.
0:19:01 > 0:19:04I can't remember what the fuck that's called, but it's got coconut in it.
0:19:06 > 0:19:08God...
0:19:09 > 0:19:11All that sailor stuff, it reminds me of him.
0:19:13 > 0:19:16My dad.
0:19:16 > 0:19:18I miss him so much.
0:19:18 > 0:19:22We had so much fun together. He could always make me laugh.
0:19:22 > 0:19:23Hey... Hey.
0:19:26 > 0:19:28Let me get you...
0:19:30 > 0:19:32Here. This is... This is clean.
0:19:34 > 0:19:37Thank you.
0:19:41 > 0:19:43OK.
0:19:47 > 0:19:49SHE SOBS
0:19:52 > 0:19:54Here, here. You're all right.
0:19:54 > 0:19:57Do not stand so close. You never know.
0:19:57 > 0:20:00- Oh, no, they say it's not contagious.- We don't know.
0:20:00 > 0:20:02It's just something we tell people.
0:20:05 > 0:20:09Look... Would you... Would you like me to take you back to your home?
0:20:09 > 0:20:10Yeah? Come on.
0:20:10 > 0:20:13You take the cloth. I'll get the...
0:20:13 > 0:20:14Come on, come on.
0:20:14 > 0:20:16RAIN FALLING
0:20:21 > 0:20:23SHE SOBS
0:21:09 > 0:21:11STIFLED SOBBING
0:21:32 > 0:21:34HE SOBS
0:21:55 > 0:21:56Oh...
0:22:16 > 0:22:19- Hey. - It's gone.
0:22:20 > 0:22:22The smell.
0:22:22 > 0:22:25All gone.
0:22:53 > 0:22:56Well, I think I'll...
0:22:56 > 0:22:58That was a crazy evening.
0:22:58 > 0:23:00Yeah.
0:23:27 > 0:23:29CLICKS TONGUE
0:23:29 > 0:23:31Good morning.
0:23:31 > 0:23:33HE SNIFFS
0:23:33 > 0:23:36Mmm. Well, it has its benefits.
0:23:37 > 0:23:39Yep. HE SNIFFS
0:23:44 > 0:23:46We were in the Algarve once, Maggie and me.
0:23:46 > 0:23:49Came home, had a freezer full of food, there'd been a power cut.
0:23:49 > 0:23:52Never smelt anything so disgusting in my life.
0:23:52 > 0:23:54I'll never forget it.
0:23:55 > 0:23:57Maybe you will.
0:23:59 > 0:24:01Hm.
0:24:04 > 0:24:06I've met someone.
0:24:06 > 0:24:09- Oh, OK. - I'm pathetic.
0:24:09 > 0:24:11Mm-hm.
0:24:11 > 0:24:14I'm not even sure I like him.
0:24:14 > 0:24:16OK.
0:24:16 > 0:24:19I actually think he's a smooth arsehole.
0:24:25 > 0:24:27Now...
0:24:28 > 0:24:31It'll probably come back.
0:24:31 > 0:24:34But at the moment our customers won't be able to smell, so...
0:24:34 > 0:24:37It'll be like cooking for snotty-nosed people.
0:24:39 > 0:24:41Bring out the big guns, all right?
0:24:42 > 0:24:45Maybe a bit of saffron.
0:24:52 > 0:24:53Oregano.

0:25:14 > 0:25:16'You get used to it.
0:25:19 > 0:25:24'The greater loss are all the memories that are no longer triggered.'
0:25:24 > 0:25:25Ooh-hoo!
0:25:25 > 0:25:27'Smell and memory were connected in the brain.
0:25:29 > 0:25:32'Cinnamon might have reminded you of your grandmother's apron.
0:25:32 > 0:25:36'The scent of cut hay could evoke a childhood fear of cows.

0:26:39 > 0:26:40Not really.
0:26:41 > 0:26:44I was a really good smeller.
0:26:44 > 0:26:46- I bet you were. - I was.
0:26:47 > 0:26:49Do you want a cigarette?
0:26:49 > 0:26:51- No, thanks. - Something else, then?
0:26:52 > 0:26:55- Like what? - Oh, er... are you hungry?
0:26:55 > 0:26:57Nah.
0:26:57 > 0:27:00I could cook you something special.
0:27:00 > 0:27:02Or buy you a lollipop.
0:27:02 > 0:27:05We could go for a coffee and eat apple pie and er... liquorice.
0:27:06 > 0:27:08A glass of wine?
0:27:09 > 0:27:10Some fresh air?

0:27:23 > 0:27:26- Met a guy. - And then a good job came up.
0:27:26 > 0:27:28And now, ladies and gentlemen.
0:27:28 > 0:27:30We'll call upon a new smell.
0:27:30 > 0:27:33The scent of the forest after the spring rain.
0:27:33 > 0:27:36We imagine the path underneath our feet.
0:27:36 > 0:27:41We see the green moist colour surrounding us.
0:27:41 > 0:27:45And we feel the wet branches against our faces.
0:27:48 > 0:27:51And now imagine...
0:27:51 > 0:27:53- Oh... - We pass between the trees.
0:27:53 > 0:27:55- I'm not going on my own. Come on. - Oh, no.
0:27:55 > 0:27:58And we begin drawing in the air.
0:27:58 > 0:28:00Deep inside.
0:28:00 > 0:28:02And enjoy the moment.
0:28:06 > 0:28:08The humidity level is high.
0:28:08 > 0:28:09PLAYS DRAMATIC TUNE
0:28:14 > 0:28:20At the lower end there is the moss, the fungi, the rotten leaves.
0:28:25 > 0:28:29The middle tone is the tall, fresh grass.
0:28:29 > 0:28:33A crisp and almost invigorating scent.
0:28:33 > 0:28:35PLUCKS HIGH NOTES
0:28:35 > 0:28:39And at the top we feel not only the leaves and the rainwater,
0:28:39 > 0:28:41but also the sky.
0:28:41 > 0:28:43HIGH, RINGING NOTE
0:28:43 > 0:28:47On a day like this... we can smell the sky itself.
0:28:49 > 0:28:51MELLOW TUNE
0:29:01 > 0:29:03What shall we do now?
0:29:06 > 0:29:08Well, now you could invite me back to your place.
0:29:10 > 0:29:12Don't know if I will.
0:29:14 > 0:29:17Well, you... you can just start walking home...
0:29:17 > 0:29:19..and I'll follow you.

0:30:28 > 0:30:31I should have made a bigger effort to sniff you
0:30:31 > 0:30:33the first time we were lying here.
0:30:35 > 0:30:37Mm.
0:30:37 > 0:30:39A pity.
0:30:46 > 0:30:48What do you want?
0:30:49 > 0:30:51What do I want?
0:30:52 > 0:30:54Yeah.
0:30:57 > 0:31:00Well, soon I'd like to close my eyes and try and go to sleep.
0:31:02 > 0:31:06Which is a big deal for me cos usually I... I can't sleep in bed with someone.
0:31:26 > 0:31:28I need to be by myself.
0:31:28 > 0:31:30OK?
0:31:30 > 0:31:33- Now? - Now, yes.
0:31:33 > 0:31:35You want me to leave?
0:31:35 > 0:31:38I live here, so I guess you'll have to.
0:31:38 > 0:31:40- Now? - Yes, please.
0:31:42 > 0:31:45Did I say something wrong?
0:32:06 > 0:32:10Ah... Let me give you my... card,

0:32:15 > 0:32:16You have a card?
0:32:16 > 0:32:20I had a catering company that didn't do very well.
0:32:20 > 0:32:23Not very many clients. Lots of cards.
0:32:29 > 0:32:31You can call me.
0:32:31 > 0:32:34My number's on there, and my address.
0:32:34 > 0:32:36And I guess you know where I work, so...

0:33:03 > 0:33:05The prophecy has been spoken.
0:33:05 > 0:33:09Do you pray? Are you aware of your sins?
0:33:09 > 0:33:12Come back and be aware. This is the day of the prophecy!
0:33:55 > 0:33:56Hello.
0:33:58 > 0:33:59No flowers?
0:34:07 > 0:34:09She loved flowers, Michael.
0:34:24 > 0:34:27Ian got married...
0:34:27 > 0:34:29in a church with the full Monty.
0:34:29 > 0:34:31Eugh!
0:34:31 > 0:34:34Apparently, she's pregnant, his bride.
0:34:36 > 0:34:38And what about this Michael?
0:34:40 > 0:34:42What about him?
0:34:42 > 0:34:44He sounds nice.
0:34:44 > 0:34:46I don't know.
0:34:46 > 0:34:48I usually pick arseholes.
0:34:49 > 0:34:52Well, they can't all be arseholes. They just can't.
0:34:53 > 0:34:55- I'm trying to take care of myself. - Right.
0:34:57 > 0:34:59You do that a lot, don't you?
0:35:00 > 0:35:02Fuck you, sailor! LAUGHS

0:35:14 > 0:35:18- What do you say? - One for you and one for you.
0:35:18 > 0:35:20Not soap.
0:35:20 > 0:35:23Big Soap. Big Soap.
0:35:23 > 0:35:29Apparently, Big Tobacco and Big Fizzy Cola have formed this cartel
0:35:29 > 0:35:32to start selling wait for it fruity flavoured oxygen.
0:35:32 > 0:35:37In order to create a proper market for it, they've enlisted Big Soap.
0:35:37 > 0:35:41Big Soap have flooded the environment with enough organophosphates
0:35:41 > 0:35:44to temporarily disable your central nervous system.
0:35:44 > 0:35:45That's why I've stopped washing...
0:35:45 > 0:35:48in case you were wondering what the smell was.
0:35:49 > 0:35:51You don't half talk some shite.
0:35:53 > 0:35:57'Environmental groups are sure it's the start of an ecological apocalypse
0:35:57 > 0:36:01'caused by pollution and genetically modified plants and hormones.
0:36:02 > 0:36:06'Intelligence claims it's an attack on the free world.

0:37:13 > 0:37:16Fucking so much...

0:37:21 > 0:37:25So many sharp edges. So many sharp edges.
0:37:25 > 0:37:27- That's OK. - Sharp things.

0:38:35 > 0:38:37- I've seen you in the canteen. - That's how it'll end.
0:38:37 > 0:38:39Without anybody loving me.
0:38:40 > 0:38:42Come on, now, just calm down.
0:38:42 > 0:38:44What's your name?
0:38:44 > 0:38:46Oh, no.
0:38:46 > 0:38:48See, the thing is, your body, OK?
0:38:48 > 0:38:50It betrays... It betrays itself.
0:38:50 > 0:38:52- Stop, Michael. - No, no, listen.
0:38:52 > 0:38:54Your body, it takes away the colour of your skin.
0:38:54 > 0:38:57And... And betrays your... your spirit.
0:38:57 > 0:38:58Michael, stop.
0:38:58 > 0:39:01Can I get some water over here?
0:39:01 > 0:39:02That's OK, it's OK.
0:39:02 > 0:39:06Pissing and bleeding and fucking pus is coming out of your ear!
0:39:06 > 0:39:08- There's no pus. - I've seen it. I've seen it!
0:39:08 > 0:39:10At the end, you're all alone.
0:39:10 > 0:39:11Don't say that.
0:39:11 > 0:39:13You die on your own and it gets all dark.
0:39:13 > 0:39:16It's not true! Don't say that! You're not on your own!
0:39:16 > 0:39:18You're not on your own!
0:39:18 > 0:39:22All your body, it turns... it turns to fucking soup.
0:39:22 > 0:39:23'First the terror.'
0:39:23 > 0:39:26Don't leave me. Don't leave me, Michael.
0:39:26 > 0:39:28Don't leave me.
0:39:30 > 0:39:32'And then a moment of hunger.'
0:39:32 > 0:39:34Oh, my God. What's happened?
0:39:34 > 0:39:37Oh, my God, what's happened? What's happening?

0:42:30 > 0:42:32Do you think we'll lose our other senses too?
0:42:36 > 0:42:38Smell and taste are related.
0:42:38 > 0:42:39They're the two chemical senses.
0:42:41 > 0:42:44So the other ones might be all right, then?
0:42:44 > 0:42:45They might.
0:42:45 > 0:42:47Just have to wait and see.
0:42:48 > 0:42:50That's right, sailor.
0:42:56 > 0:42:58And what happens if you're wrong?
0:43:05 > 0:43:07(Then we're fucked.)
0:44:48 > 0:44:50Hey.
0:44:50 > 0:44:51Hi.

0:45:08 > 0:45:10They're heading off to work.
0:45:13 > 0:45:15What should we do?
0:45:18 > 0:45:20We go to work as well.
0:45:24 > 0:45:26Do we kiss each other first...
0:45:28 > 0:45:29Maybe.
0:45:32 > 0:45:34..Say we'd like to see each other again?
0:45:35 > 0:45:37We probably do.
0:45:37 > 0:45:39Maybe even this evening.
0:45:46 > 0:45:47Maybe.
0:45:49 > 0:45:51And are we looking forward to that?
0:45:52 > 0:45:53Yes!
0:46:02 > 0:46:04I may not even have a job any more.
0:46:09 > 0:46:11Forget it, Michael, we're closed. We're closed.
0:46:11 > 0:46:13We'll open again.
0:46:13 > 0:46:15People can't smell, they can't taste.
0:46:17 > 0:46:19They're going to buy flour and fat.
0:46:19 > 0:46:21That's all you need to survive.
0:46:23 > 0:46:25Take a hit on that. Go on. Go on.
0:46:26 > 0:46:27Drink that.
0:46:27 > 0:46:29Now, that is damned expensive brandy.
0:46:29 > 0:46:31Damned, damned expensive.
0:46:31 > 0:46:34But you might as well drink surgical spirit or sniff glue.
0:46:34 > 0:46:36It doesn't matter.
0:46:36 > 0:46:38Flour and fat.
0:46:38 > 0:46:40- And yet it does matter. - There's no difference.

0:46:54 > 0:46:57They'll toast each other while we take care of their needs.
0:46:57 > 0:47:01- Yeah, and serve them flour and fat. - No, anything but flour and fat.
0:47:07 > 0:47:09We'll be all right.
