My eyes don't work this early. Morning. Calimera. Gali Mera. I'm late, I have to have to go. Last night was, uh, m-yff's kiss, your cock is excellent. Therapeutic. Did you, did you understand any of that, Nico? Yes, I understand. Okay. Wait, just wait. Okay.

Mika, that's, that feels really nice, but I have to go, so, um, stop, please. We have to stop, we have to stop. Stop, me, stop. Stop, stop. I have to go. Stop. Stop. I stop. Okay. Thank you. Uh-huh. Sofa is top-notch.

Bye, Nico. Bye, Liza. Mom. Mom? You sulking? Yes. Because you tried to kill me. It was the shallow end.

It was an accident. I have to go to work. I just need to brush my teeth. Would you like me to stay locked in the room today? Or am I allowed out? Well, I can see if I can put you a swimming lesson if you like. You're still not funny. Have you been all night?

Not a real business. I'll get some bacon, sausage. Oh, no bacon or sausage. It's meat-free Monday. Morning, Liza? Morning. How's your mum, I? She's still damp.

Vegan Monday. Breakfast falafel. Bunny, I need to talk to her. Yeah, she's with Gary in his trailer. With Gary? Mm. Just the two of them? Okay, cool.

See you later. Hey, I'll bring you a little car from breakfast. Well, I need to talk to her about today. Oh, well, you can after I'm finished. Bonnie? Yeah. You okay? This is ridiculous. She'll be out and fight this.

Bonnie! She looks totally fine. Clothes on. She's just smiling at me. Why is the shower on? It wasn't working. I usually take a shower in the morning. They just fixed it, so I left it running.

You look a bit mental. intoxicated. I was just having pancakes. How are you pancakes? Delicious, yeah. I was just leaving anyway. Well, I'll just come with you. See you on set, Liza.

Don't bring that energy. Yeah, I won't. I'll bring the calm. Just you wait. You'll need to test me for a pulse. All right, where's Alex? I don't know, probably doing some dynamic stretching. Sorry, boss.

How to get rid of an angry tenant, know what I mean? He's all out. Fully evicted. Christ, can we just get on? Film sets are a place where you can, without judgment, freely discuss the infrequency of your bowel movements. You still want me to walk in at the end? Yes.

Liza? Yeah. I need 360 on both actors, so get everything off now. Yes. Tell me, though I look. You look great, Bonnie. Look amazing. Liza, get off the set.

Honestly, Bonnie. Now? Yes, yes. Walk away. I am. Roll for rehearsal, please. Roll for rehearsal, please. This is meant to be Lady C's fever dream.

She sees Mellers, he's broken into her house, the ghost of Mellers. Her desire for him is the fever. I don't get it. Rapping sexual assault in a dream, thinking that makes it palatable. Yeah, follow around the corner. And cut. Reset, please. Shoot the next one. Alex, I need you over here.

Eliza, what did you see? All of you? Like you said, how do I look? You look stunning. Bonnie, you look stunning. I just don't understand why she's name. Gary? Yes, officer.

She's afraid. She's alone. Walking through the house, she thinks someone has broken in. She wouldn't be naked. Where's the middle of the night? She's not thinking about what to wear. No one does that.

Women don't do that. They don't casually wander around naked if they think someone is in their house. She would find a weapon and grab something to cover her body or she'd hide and wait. Or maybe. she's feeling so confused she doesn't even think about any of that

until it's too late so let's just agree not to see it the same way right? Kate, step back. Sorry. Everyone's set? Roll blue. My island of sanity.

Are you enjoying this male fantasy of a home invasion? Not really. This whole set as a male fantasy. Here, you know, Pete the producer. She trades in space coins. There's not a creative woman in his body. He just fancies a wee walk in the red carpet.

Kate, can you tell... A cut, please. Can we cut? Can we cut? Don't cut. Why is she crawling on the floor naked with the camera behind her right up her ass? You said she's hiding. She's crawling.

I didn't mean like that. Do not. Cut the camera. This is excellent. No. You have to cut. Go ahead. Cut the camera.

Cut it. And cut. Oh my God. I'm so sorry, Bunny. He asked me to scare you. Great. Great. Bunny.

Bunny. Good work. Why didn't you tell me that was going to happen, Alex? Well, you wanted it to be surprised. to get like a genuine reaction. Yeah, freak me out. Don't do that. Liza, anything to add? No.

I mean, I couldn't ask permission, otherwise we wouldn't have got that level of performance. Well, that wasn't a performance. Can somebody get my robe? I'm cold. Here, money, come here. Listen, look, you need to step everybody off, break the crew right now. Alright, take a minute, everyone. Yeah, you earned it. Do that again.

I just... I just want to sleep now. I know I'm so sorry that happened. Kate? Hmm? Uh, yeah. Can you just stay with you? Stay with Bonnie a sec. Why don't you? Yeah, yeah. I'll sit down here. Gary?

Yeah. That's it for today. What? Her body's shaking like that. It's a trauma response. The scene was lacking. I needed that reaction. Oh, come.

Let, Bunny, Bunny, you'll be so proud. I promise you. Rest for now. We'll get back to it tomorrow, yeah? No more surprises. You can go too, Liza. What? Well, we'll finish up the second unit,

so we're not wasting the day. Kate, over on green screen. We need an extra pair of hands. Come on. Yeah, yeah, of course, no problem. Sorry. Yeah, can you get the car? Yeah, Kate to transfer, I need Bonnie's going to ice up.

Wasting the day, I'd like to waste your intestines in a pool of piranhas. I'll come back with you, Bonnie. Yeah, yeah, can you? What would you feel like doing? I can run your bath or just sit with you? Yeah, can we just sit for a minute? Yeah, of course. You know what?

I think I might lie down. Yeah. Bonnie, did anything happen with you and Gary? Bonnie? He tried. What happened? He asked me to come and rehearse a scene. I got to his room and he said we should go to the bed

because it would make me feel more relaxed, more in the mood. I told him I knew what was happening. That I'm not an idiot. He said I was being. dramatic, that he just wanted to help me access emotions that he didn't think came easy to me. Fucker. I laughed, told him that he was old enough to be my granddad.

Pathetic, really, like, who would even fall for that? Someone more naive than you, maybe. You'd have to be incredibly naive, or incredibly desperate. Slightly envious of you, Bonnie? Why? Because I don't like keeping people's dirty secrets. secrets. Well, because I think you're brilliant. I need to get this. It's my daughter. Yeah, of course. Hey, I was going to order some food would you like, in it? Oh, good. You get some rest, Bonnie. Okay. Ruby, hi, my love. Mom, I need to talk to you about something. Why are you whispering?

I don't want Dad to hear me. He's in a really bad mood. He said I'm going to have to live with him. Well, that's not true. He said that you don't play by the rules that you are your own worst enemy. Ruby. He just went into his bedroom, I can hear him talking to someone. Hey, hey, take a breath. Of course not. This, this isn't about you. It's he, your dad is, he's, he's having a baby. Ah, the person he's talking to is probably the woman he's having it with. Uh-huh. He can, can, you know that, right? You could have to live in a car. What? No, no, he's, he's just saying stupid things. Idiot. When are you back? Two weeks. Grand is back in three days
