This programme contains some strong language,
some scenes which some viewers may find upsetting and some violent scenes.
We think it goes in a straight line, don't we?
Time, I mean.
Like one day follows another, day after day, year after year,
until something happens that's so big, it stops time.
And you realise that everything that happened before
was leading up to that moment.
And everything that happens after,
if there is an after, happens because of it.
There's no line any more, no line of time,
just one fixed point
and everything swirls around it.
You look back or forward, it makes no difference.
You can drive yourself mad that way if you're not careful.

That day began.
But that wasn't where it began.
It didn't end there either.
It's funny the things you remember.
It's always the small things.
That's normal, apparently.
It's the shoes.
I remember thinking, "Not flip-flops.
"Trainers."
I remember thinking,
"I'm going to have to run."

Kim really wants to go to the sea.
Oh, no, no, no, no, no. Wait for a bit. We'll all go down together.
Go on. This is going to take ages.
Don't get lost!
Yes!
And say, "Holiday!" Holiday!
Can't remember the last time I had a pint this early in the day.
You're getting old, mate.
Cheeky get!
It seems strange to me now.
Remembering that feeling of days slipping past.
Like I was running out of time and I wanted to catch up.
And the rest of the day!
To remember what it was like to unwind...
I was a police officer. Seriously? ..have a laugh with friends...
..to love. No offence, love, but I can't see you runnin' down
the street after a burglar on those pins. I mean, come on. God...
I know, but come on!
DISTANT: Blaming me... But it's never that simple. Is it?
..for a fundamentally dishonest and cowardly human being?!
Yeah. That has to be the shittiest.
Er, yeah. Night, then.

I'm a monster! I'm a sea monster, I'm hungry! Adam, get off!
You're not a monster! Yes, I am, I'm a shark! Raarrrr!
No, Adam! I'm coming to get you!
Guys? I'm going to eat you! Raaaarr, I'm going to eat you! You ready?
Come on. No, we've got to go. I'm a shark! I'm a shark! Come on.
Breakfast! No, please! Don't eat us all up, Mr Shark!
No, no, don't eat us, Mr Shark!
And I don't think sharks roar. Do they, Adam?
What noise do sharks make?
They go...
Nom, nom, nom, nom, nom!
Come on, come on, come on. Let's get down there, it finishes soon.
Put your shoes on. Breakfast! Come on.
Not until you both get your shoes on.
They're in there. Go on.

Guess I'm taking them to breakfast, then?
Adam wants to go to the pool after,
but Kim and Sonny want those hideous inflatables.
Don't forget armbands, will you?
Come on.
That actually feels much better to me. Mm.
I'd keep up the Ibuprofen.
You coming down with me?
No, I thought I'd go to aquarobics.
Jo said she might come, too.
Oh, I doubt it, after last night. Oh, yeah.
Yeah, that was quite some first night dinner, wasn't it?
What am I supposed to do while you're gallivanting in the pool?
Go join the others.
Holiday!
You might actually enjoy it.
OK, then.
Well, have a nice time without me.
See you later.
Yeah.
I can't find my shoes! Check under the bed!
You know what they call us, don't you?
Who? Jo and Jason and Ben and Miriam.
Mr and Mrs Perfect. Hmm.
Yeah.
Well, that's because we are.
CHILDREN GROAN
All right, you lot! Come in here!
Let's take a picture for Nanny and Nana. Oh, no, do we have to?
Yes!
They want to see you.
You look great.
All right.
What are we saying, then, boys?
Er, "Holiday." Holiday?
On three? One, two, three... ALL: Holiday!
Holiday!
SHUTTER CLICKS
You know, it's good of you to keep the grown-ups company,
but this is possibly the least Ben friendly part of the whole place.
Oh, I dunno, I like an inflatable dragon as much as the next man!
And to think, Miriam and I could have been staring at some boring
16th century frescoes in Florence!
Well, blame, Jo. This was all her idea.
Yeah. The buck for the blow-up dragon stops with her.
Any sign of Jo this morning?
She wasn't at breakfast.
It's going to make it an interesting week if they're not speaking
to each other. Maybe I should go and check on her.
Um, I'll go, if you like. No, I've got to go to reception.
My key card's not working.
If Jason asks, cover for me.
Will do.
Going in?
IN SPANISH:
Oh, hey, you're going for it?
I know! What am I thinking?!
I got completely lost.
I know. Me too!

Could we get one of you all jumping in?
All right!
Ready?
Three, two, one. Go!
Aw, cool. That's going to be a great picture. You all right, Amara?
Yeah. I didn't think we'd see you by the pool.
Well, I agreed with Mum, I'd give myself an hour off each morning
and then get back to my revision. Yeah.
Need to get towels from just over there.
Adam, look!
Mum's going to watch you jump.
Mum! Look at me!
Can I help you, madam?
Hi. Yeah, thank you.
It's stopped working.
OK, what room number? 603.
And your name is? Abhilasa Doshi.
OK.
Thanks. You're welcome.
Can I?
Here you are.
Three.
One, two, three! Vamos, un, dos, tres! Bien!
Come, senora! I have to throw you in.
I'm not sure, I'm thinking about it.
OK. I'll let you take your dress off first.
Thank you.

You, over there, over there. You two, here, now, quick. In here.

My wife is still back there. My wife. She was doing the... She was
doing the aqua aerobics. What's happening? You have to tell us.
I'm sorry, sir. There's an emergency.
You don't understand. My wife!
Ben, Ben, you said that Chinar was right behind us. Where's Mummy?
She's fine, she'll be in our room. She's absolutely fine.
I didn't see which way they ran. They were together before
it started. Did you actually see them?
No, I mean, Chinar... Chinar will be... You said that you saw them,
Ben! He'll be with them! Oh...
Jase, the door! They're not here. Jase!
Listen, listen.
I want you to go with uncle Ben and do exactly as he says, OK?
Do exactly as he says.
It's OK, I've got to go and find them. Jason, you can't go back here.
It's fine, it's fine. Jason, you can't do this. I have to. Please,
just take the kids and go. Please. It'll be fine. No! Please, just go.
Please! OK! Daddy! Por aqui, por aqui, por el garaje.
Come on. Daddy! Go! Come on. Run! Venga, venga, corre!
Police coming. It's OK!
Pilar?
Ayuda! Ayuda!
Please!
Please! I'm a doctor. She's been shot.
OK, I need a cloth, I need some sort of cloth, something...
A cloth to put on the wound.
Iker! Iker!
We have to lift her. We have to get her out somewhere safe.
SHE TRANSLATES INTO SPANISH While I keep her chest up

Help her up, she needs to be propped up.
I also need some clingfilm and tape.
Er, scissors. Por favor! Quickly, quickly.
THEY SHOUT IN SPANISH
We need to sit her up.
OK, you take her shoulders and I'll take her head. OK. Aguanta.
OK, we need a folded tablecloth or jackets... Manteles? Coats, bag?
Manteles o chaquetas?
Not too much. Not too much. OK. Not too much. OK.
OK.
Vale. Jackets, coats, whatever. Manteles. Chaquetas. Mas! More.

Do you have a first aid kit? Trae el botiquin, por favor.
You know her?
Yes, she is my cousin, Pilar.
My husband is the security manager here.
I don't know where he is.
You have to get out now. Go. Is something going on?
There's an emergency. Hey, this way! Come on.
I have to get to the pool. My kids...
No access to the pool, sorry, madam. You must go this way. No!
No, you don't understand! Let me out! Let me out!
Let me out!
I tell you, this is so unfair.
Stop stalling.
You said you could always guess.
OK. All right. OK.
OK. All right. Come on. Come on.
Let's see...
Nurse.
Er-uh! Wrong!
Oh, I had you down as the GP!
Oh, no, no, that's my wife.
She's the super competent one.
I'm the second in command.
Ben, don't help him!
Businessman!
But don't tell me.
Restaurants, curry houses but, like, posh, what d'you call it? Fusion!
No! I own a taxi limousine fleet.
Exclusive, high-end.
Now. Security adviser? Ooh!
Ah! What exactly is a security adviser, love?
I work for a department store.
I advise them on fraud
and theft issues.
She's part time, though.
I'm just saying...
We're both part time. You must do the paperwork, though.
I can't see you standing at the door checking people's bags.
THEY LAUGH
I'm a social worker.
Well, I mean, I do do the paperwork.
But I did used to wear a uniform.
Used to be a police officer. Seriously?!
Yeah. Watch yourself.
No offence, love, but, I mean, I can't see you running down
the streets after a burglar on those pins.
I mean...
No, come on!
Yeah, well, being a street copper was never really
your strong point, was it, love?
SHE CLEARS HER THROAT
In fact, it's definitely been a long time since you ran after anyone.
In fact, you can't even remember how to run, probably.
She likes to tell people that she gave up policing
to be a mother. But that's not really...
That's not really true, is it?
Hey, Mum. No...
The kids are watching a film.
Gattick's in charge.
Did I miss summat?
No, just Jason putting me in my place, as usual.
Sorry, I... Is it really that difficult, Jason?
Really?
Can you really not bear me being the centre of attention
for five minutes? Some of those comments about your legs...
Don't kid yourself you're defending me!
Great bloody hero you are!
Listen, I'm your husband, I've got every right...
Stop being so bloody pompous!
I'm going back.
I want to go back. What?
To policing. I want to try.
No, we've talked about this. It's all been organised.
I'm going full time on the first of September.
We discussed this. You agreed.
No. No, it's impossible.
No, it's not about that, is it?
Oh, I tell you what, why don't we add this to the long list
of things that you never tell me about?
How about that, hmm? Anything else you want to add?
Yeah, there is. Go on.
I had lunch last week with Paul
to talk about going back.
OK.
So, you had a nice, lovely lunch with your ex
and you didn't tell me?
What's new, Jo?
Know what? The point is, Jason, that I had lunch last week
with my ex-husband and I couldn't tell you about it
because I was too scared of your reaction.
And that is not normal.
You know what, Jo? Of all the shitty things that you do, you know,
not telling me about the job, thinking that your first husband's
some kind of hero because he's not the one asking you to unload
the dishwasher any more,
and, of course, the really shitty thing of having an affair last year
with some knobhead... Why don't you shut the fuck up? ..from work,
which I'm not allowed to mention,
because somehow that makes ME the bad guy!
Of all the shitty, shitty things that you do,
blaming me for the fact that you
are a fundamentally dishonest and cowardly human being,
that has to be the shittiest.
That's good, innit?
Yeah. Night, then.

I called, but...
They will have to send helicopters.
We are out of the way here, this island.
30 minutes, maybe more.
Oh, my... They could have killed everybody by then.
I saw two of them by the pool.
Both had side arms
and one had a rifle.
There is inside of the building shooting, as well.
Do you know how to use a gun?
Yeah. Yeah, I do, yeah.

Did you see them? Because I have to go out there to find my son.

OK, you've got to go... Wait, wait, wait, wait!

Just keep going all the way. Somebody's there to help, OK?
I'm sorry. I need to find my son.
Oh, God.
ON PHONE: Hi. This is Paul.
Leave a message and I'll call you right back.
Dad? Dad, it's me.

Abhi? Oh, thank God! Jo! Jo!
God, are you all right? Where are you?
I'm with Abhi. I'm in the foyer.
OK, where are you? I'm in... I'm in the room.
I came back to the room. I thought you'd all be here, but...
Listen, um...
Kim and Sonny are outside with Ben.
They're absolutely fine. Oh, thank God.
What about Adam and Amara?
I don't know. I had a look around the pool, but I couldn't see them.
It was pandemonium. I couldn't see him.
I couldn't see them. And so, well, they must have run away.
Eh?
Adam will be with Chinar, I'm sure.
I don't know... I don't know about Amara.
I couldn't... You didn't see her? No, I couldn't.
Honestly, I looked.
Look, OK, listen,
listen to me.
Check my phone, all right? To see if Amara has called.
OK. I put it down in the bathroom.
OK, it's on the bathroom counter.
You'll see it. You need the code.
It's 4-6-8-5.
But you have to leave, now, OK?
Take my phone with you. But you have to get out of the hotel right now.
No, no, no, no.
No, no, no, wait!
Fuck's sake.
Has he seen the boys? Sonny and Kimberley got out.
They're safe. Ben's looking after them, OK?
He's looked for the others. He couldn't see anyone...
He's checked by the pool.
And that's good. That means...
That means they got away, OK?
What do we do?
Come on. Come on. Get down, get down. Come on.
The boys are OK but you have to get out.
I can't, Jo. Please don't leave me. I'm so scared.
Slowly.
Chinar will be looking after the boys. OK.
OK. Let's go.
Please, Madam.
Go to the reception, OK? Yeah, Abhi. Follow them. Come on.
Follow the others and get out of the hotel. Go, go, go.

You'll be OK. You'll be OK. I've got to go. I'm sorry.

Do they cover the whole complex?
The public areas, yes, but only some of the staff areas.

Most people will be hiding in their rooms.
We've got to get them out. Yes, but the way the hotel is built,
they can shoot down from the balconies. See?
Keep... Keep flicking through.
Help will be here before too long.
We just all have to stay safe and hidden until then.
Yeah.

CHINAR BREATHES RASPILY
Wrong place, wrong time.
You ask yourself...
..why?
Why did it happen?
If we'd made one other small decision -
not that hotel, not that date to arrive -
everything that happened after
led away from it,
and everything that happened before led up to it,
and it all swirls around that one day.
All this time, you thought you were choosing your life
but, actually, you were just heading towards that moment.
All your life, you think you're making choices
and only when it happens do you realise that...
..you weren't making any choices at all.
How come I didn't realise?
The time before seems like such an innocent time.
All our decisions then,
the decisions of innocence.
How strange that we can only understand that in retrospect,
that this ending was always waiting.
If only I'd known.
It was always going to end like this.
Drop your weapon!
Drop your weapon and raise your hands! Mum!
