Episode 1
I was starting to get worried.
Hey! Happy birthday.
- You look very glamourous for a girls' night in.
Dol? Something smells nice, domestic goddess! Er, domestic, yes.
Goddess, no! I can't see you tonight.
-Who's the latest victim? -Her boss.
Finally taking her career seriously - that's a good thing.
Hello! -Yeah.
Married? -Aren't they always? -Well, maybe it's love.
-What, with jessica? Thank you! What's that? Very nice.
Mojitos! Go easy on them, though, I think I completely overdid the rum.
Gift! Where are the kids? Are they asleep already? Yeah, I'm sorry.
They couldn't keep their eyes open,but they did make you this card.
Aw! Look at that! Look at that.
Ah-h-h! -Wow, what's this? -That is a spa day for two.
-Wow! You have to take a date, but you don't have to take us.
-Thank you! -Yeah, but if you did prefer a girly I know, I know! -See if you remember this.
-What's this? -Oh, of course I do! -You do, huh? -Yeah! -I got it copied.
Look at that.
Do you remember that? Oh, Siobhan, you always manage to pick the perfect present! -Thank you.
-Sorry.
Sorry.
Sorry! Hey, look at that.
Look at us! - Are you going to open my present? - Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And drinks.
What is this, I wonder? Thank you, jessica, it's gorgeous.
I thought your lingerie could do with an update cos I reckon -yours has been seeing some action.
-What?! -Katie, are you holding out on us? -No! Sadly.
Serious I would tell you! -I would tell you.
-Well, with knickers like those, you're just gonna have to get laid.
You'd know about that, wouldn't you? How's the baby-making going? Sex in the morning, sex in the afternoon, sex in the evening.
-Mm, lucky you! -Careful, you'll turn into jessica.
-You wish! -0h, I'd say the novelty will wear off soon.
Oh, come on! You can't be on call today.
It's your birthday! -I'm sorry, I'm covering someone at the surgery.
-These are good.
Are they? Fantastic.
I know how to make a mojito! -No, no, no, go! You've got people to rescue and lives to save.
-Yeah.
Bye.
You were supposed to wait 15 minutes before you paged me.
I know.
But they have you for longer than I have, and I couldn't wait.
Mistresses S01E01 "Men Behaving Badly" You know you shouldn't do that.
I don't care.
And you should know better, Doctor.
No.
I shouldn't.
Will you help me? Do you need morphine? john, are you in pain? No.
No, not that.
Will you help me, Katie, when it's time? "Here is the deepest secret nobody knows.
" "'Here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud and the sky of the sky of a tree called Life, 'which grows higher than soul can hope or mind can hide.
'And this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart.
"I carry your heart.
" "I carry it in my heart.
" My, erm, dad wanted me to read that poem.
He was, erm, he was a really great dad, and a loving husband and a true friend to many.
I'm sure, erm all of us will miss him very dearly.
Dr.
Roden Hi, Sam.
I'm.
.
.
very sorry about your father.
You were treating him, weren't you? Well, he was under the care of the hospital doctors, but How come you all got it wrong? How come no-one told me he was about to die? It happened very quickly, it sometimes does and Someone must have realised.
Your father might have wanted to leave happier memories.
-But I'm sure he was thinking of you.
-He was having an affair.
Hi, Trudi, it's me.
Erm, are you around? Hi, Katie.
Sorry to keep calling you.
I know you're working.
I'm just checking you're on for tonight? I can't talk right now.
The girls have just been sent home from schoolwith nits.
.
.
Er, cheers.
Mummy, I've found the nits.
Ugh! Get away from me.
Hi, it's jess.
Leave a message.
jess, it's me.
I'm just checking you're back from Paris and you're on for tonight? It's 6:50 at mine 0h, and could you please let Siobhan know? OK, cheers, I'll see you later.
OK.
Bye.
See you at the office.
Siobhan, are you still coming tonight? jess, listen, darling, I'm gonna have to call you back, OK? What exactly are we looking for? Vaginal secretions.
It says here, when ovulating, secretions should be clear and stretchy.
Makes it easier for the sperm to swim in, apparently.
-Well? -Hari! Nah.
Nothing.
-No point shagging, then? -Nah.
So, did you remember to buy more folic acid? -I ask you to do one thing -I'll do it! I'll text Katie.
jess, it's Siobhan calling you back.
So.
.
.
how was Paris? ¡Bonjour Jessica! - "C'est Jean-Pierre" - Hey, jessica, 'it's Tom.
I'm in to You were shagging, weren't you? -I tell you all my conquests.
-Yep, the pleasure's all yours.
Where did you go? Hotel room? Siobhan, we're both adults.
Why won't you share your baby-making techniques? Cos I don't want to star in your grubby fantasies.
I've got 700 pages of this to get through.
Give a man a break! I wasn't shagging.
Hi, Katie.
Are you feeling better? -Yes.
Much better, thank you, Rob.
-Good.
Mum! She's tickling me! - Hi.
- Hi.
Don't worry.
I'm pretending not to notice as well.
Oh! You're Amy's dad.
Yeah, I've seen you at drop-off.
Richard.
And you must be Er, Cathy's mum.
Trudi.
Nice to meet you.
Erm, she's excited about having a new girl in her class.
Everyone's been amazingly friendly since we got here.
-Yeah? -Yeah, you'rejust being wooed by the opposing forces of the PTA! -Trust no-one, there's about to be a coup.
-Really? Whose side are you on? 0h, erm Well, you know, I'm not taking any chances, I'm backing both.
You'll have to fill me in some time.
Actually.
.
.
do you fancy going for a coffee? Not in here, there's a Starbucks nextdoor .
.
and across the road.
And one in the toilet probably! Do you know what? I've got three hours of nit-combing to do and I've got friends coming over No worries, sure.
Some other time.
Mum, can we have this? Yeah, ice cream! Married men are a no-brainer.
They're bedroom trained, they're low maintenance, and you've got a ready-made exit strategy.
-There you go.
-No mess, no fuss.
Except, sometimes their wives catch you.
-Isn't that the whole point? -No! The point was to shag him in the top three Parisian bridal suites at our client's expense.
God, I want your life, jess! How can you say that?! Hari's the loveliest man in the world.
All right, I only want her sex life! And your kids.
Aw.
Well, at least you're in love.
Put together, you'd make one perfectly satisfied individual.
No, I'm satisfied with sex.
You don't die if you don't get sex.
Clearly, or we'd have buried you years ago.
-No fighting! -0K, Katie.
Multiple choice -sex, love or kids? -What, can I only have one?! Love.
I THINK someone asked me out today.
-Really? -0h, yeah? -Hello! He's a new dad at school, and I think he just got divorced.
We got chatting at the supermarket and he said should we go for a coffee and I went, 'Erm, erm, uh-uh-erm' Hang on a minute.
He asked you out for a coffee in Sainsburys? No.
In Tesco's actually.
And, well, I'm not really sure he was asking me out.
What did he say? EXACT words.
-'D'you fancy going for a coffee?' -He said 'fancy'? -I think so.
-If he said that, he was asking you out.
Maybe he said 'want'.
Well, that's different.
That's more tricky to interpret This is exactly why I switched from English to Modern Languages.
Sorry, do we want to talk about YOUR sex life some more? Come on, woman, think.
We've been waiting six years for this.
Want or fancy? -Fancy.
-He was asking you out.
-Really? -Mm-hm.
- Really? - Mm-hm.
Trud.
.
.
? When did this come? It came this morning.
So you've scored a million and pulled on the same day.
See you, Trud.
Hey, you don't feel like a last one, do you? For the road? I thought you had to go home and shag? We could go to Metro? Sorry, I can't.
Got a late-night delivery.
See ya.
Why haven't you paid it in yet? Guilt.
I know.
Everything's screaming at me to move on.
The girls are both in school I've finally settled the money, and someone's even asked me out after six years.
I mean, someone I quite like.
How can I move on when I don't know what happened to Paul? What if he's still out there? No, he's not out there.
-Those phone calls -The police traced them.
-They were from public places.
-Thousands of people died.
-Where else would he be? -Maybe he lost his memory.
Then he wouldn't be calling you from pizza restaurants and cab firms, would he? You don't understand, not being able to say goodbye to him.
It's been six years, Trudi! Let it go, for Christ's sake.
-I'm sorry.
What? -Katie? Is everything all right? I've been having an affair.
-What?! -For two years.
He was married.
He was going to leave his wife, but, erm he got ill.
And he died last week.
john's funeral was this morning.
Oh, my God! Wh Why didn't you tell me? I couldn't.
I.
.
.
I wanted to, loads of times, and God, I know it sounds completely mad, but, erm -I just couldn't.
-Why not? Because he was my patient.
And, erm because you would've told me to stop.
Oh, Katie, I'm sorry.
And you've been listening to me, going on and on for the last six years.
But his son, Trudi His son knows he was having an affair.
You have one new message.
Doctor Roden, it's Sam Grey.
I found your number at home.
I.
.
.
need to speak to you.
It's important.
Please call me back on this number.
It says in here we should keep daily fertility lists.
I already do.
- 98.
1.
- Bingo! Come on.
-Can you Can youj ust? -Sure.
No, hang on.
I didn't mean that, I didn't mean that.
I'm late for work, and I just don't feel like it.
You used to be up for a shag anyplace, anytime.
It's one of the qualities that drew me to you.
Isn't there ANYTHING in that bloody book of yours that says how to make this fun?! You should read it, you might find out.
Mummy! What have you done to your face? Right.
School.
Now.
So.
.
.
what did you drag me out of bed for? Hard to leave, was it? Your next assignment - Lisa and Alex's lesbian wedding.
I hate weddings.
You know I hate weddings.
People wanking on about adoring each other, it's nauseating.
Come on Don't start defending the institution of marriage cos it won't cut any ice with me.
Give it to Mel, she's a walking bloody rom-com! Yeah, but I don't wanna sleep with Mel.
Hotels, restaurants, limousines And since this one's against the clock, I want you working directly under me.
I hate weddings.
Which one do you reckon's the bride? -jessica.
Hi, let's talk about your happy day.
- Hello.
-Morning, Anne.
-Morning.
Thank you.
Are we talking small and beautiful or big and fabulous? We've done a rough guest list.
It's somewhere between 150 and 200.
And the rest.
OK, well, if you're free a bit later on, we'll start by looking at some venues for upto 200.
OK well, here are some possibilities.
OK, girls.
Come on.
-Cathy! I'll see you after school, darling.
-Whatever! -OK.
Bye, sweetie.
-Bye! - Hi.
- Hi.
Um, do you fancy getting that coffee? 0her I'd love to, but there's something I really have to do this morning 0h, right.
Fine.
Oh, but there's a PTA meeting this afternoon.
If you come along, we could grab a coffee after? - Uh.
.
.
that might be a bit tricky.
-0h, please.
Well I'd just love it if you would.
I mean, it's like 12 Angry Women in there.
I'd love to throw them a curve ball.
OK, I'll see what I can do.
-OK.
-OK.
Bye.
-Bye.
Sam Grey, please.
Come in.
Hi, Sam.
Come and take a seat, will you? Yeah.
I wanted to apologise for how I behaved at my dad's funeral.
Um.
.
.
I've been trying to get hold of you.
It was really good of you to come.
- I've been treating your family for a long while, so.
.
.
- Yeah, my mum said how much y0u've been there for them both.
I'm sorry I was so rude.
-It's OK.
-It's just I was up all night writing the eulogy, and then, er, that morning, that's when I found That's when I realised It was such a nightmare, you know.
All I could think about was how long he'd been lying to me and whether she was sat there, in front of me You know? -I shouldn't have taken that out on you.
-No, no.
-That's completely underst.
.
.
-No, it's pathetic, that's what it is.
Looking for someone to blame.
When it was, it was me.
I should have been there.
I should have been with him.
Sam, your father would have wanted you to remember him strong and healthy.
Is that what he said? You said that to me before.
Well, he I just know that he'd hate you to be beating yourself up over not being there at the end.
Yeah.
That's what I thought.
But now I have my doubts.
So what, um, what made you? -I wouldn't want my mum to find out about any of this.
-No, of course not.
What you say in here is completely confidential.
Yeah.
So I was ringing around everybody about the funeral, and, er, my dad used to play football on Sunday afternoons.
And I spoke to the bloke that organised it, and he said he hadn't been for, y'know, two years.
And I thought it must be the illness .
.
but then I found this.
It was in the, um, suit pocket, the suit he wanted to be buried in.
That's, um, not my mum's handwriting.
She said that YOU were there a lot, towards the end.
You don't have any idea who it could be, do you? No.
No.
No, I don't.
-I'm just popping out.
-Again? If Duggan wants me, tell him I've got a doctor's appointment.
You said that yesterday.
I can have you followed, you know.
We do have people here that do that.
Will you just cover for me, please? -Tell me where you're really going.
-Wouldn't YOU like to know?! Hey.
jess, where are you? I've 40 minutes.
Um just near the High Street.
I've got.
.
.
- 25 minutes.
- OK.
I'll see you in five.
-You take care, Sam.
-Thanks, thanks for.
.
.
.
.
I didn't know who else to talk to.
I want him to look at me like I'm his wildest erotic fantasy, and he's been waiting all day to take me on the kitchen table.
Instead of like I'm this empty vessel who ought to be eight months pregnant in a smock.
Good for the anti-smock factor.
Goodness.
Well, I suppose I have to do something, it's like we're shagging in Groundhog Day.
You should really wax your fanny with those, though.
-Goodness! Why? -For the porn look.
Try it, might shock Hari into some radical new moves.
No! The last thing we need is more gynaecology.
Honestly, Trudi's school run has more mystery to it.
Don't you think that's a bit weird, him asking her out the day she gets her million? No.
How would he know? Hello.
And, um, could you take my husband's name off the account, please? Sure.
Thank you.
-Got time for a sandwich? -Er, Rob, I haven't.
Sorry.
I've got a house call.
Goodbye.
-Siobhan, I've gotta go.
-OK.
You look.
.
.
fabulous.
Really? Yes.
Go for it! OK! Oh, God.
- Siobhan Dhillon.
- Hi.
They've applied to the court.
Smith & Smith? That's laid down for next week.
-I know.
They didn't tell us.
-What? -They've applied without notice? -Yup.
-No, they can't! -Well, they have.
-What?! -They're on their way over.
-Right now.
- No! Shit! Yeah.
No.
I'll be there in five minutes.
OK.
-Hurry! - -Yeah.
OK.
Oh, shit, shit.
Um, excuse me? Hello? OK.
OK.
-Is everything OK? -Yes.
I'm taking everything.
-0h.
Great! -There you go.
Thanks.
You're welcome.
OK, so this is option eight, or is it nine? I can't remember.
Anyway I think you might like this one.
Great space.
It's pretty much a blank canvas, so we can decorate it however you want.
Cool.
And we can create different areas using screens and fabrics.
-I've got some images here I can show you.
-I hate it.
Look, I know you're doing your best, but it's just big and bland and soulless.
just like the others.
Well, that's because we haven't made it our own yet.
It'll never be our own.
I want it to say something about us, me and Lisa, and our life together.
So you want somewhere beautiful genuine and intimate for 200 people.
-Come on.
-Tell me.
OK.
.
.
The freezing order was made on the 23rd of April, to prevent any dissipation of Smith's marital assets.
The 23rd of April.
.
.
2007.
The difficulty arises over the exact parameters of the freezing order.
They're made clear in the order.
Your client can't touch the proceeds from the sale of the former matrimonial home.
Or deal on the French property.
Then he's unable to pay his employees' salaries.
You said that to the judge.
He didn't like it and we don't like it.
While I accept you may be correct about the judgment at the time, my client may have to make an application to vary this order, otherwise his business stands to fail, and that is neither in his interest, nor in your client's.
There are also some very serious issues as to non-disclosure, as you well know.
When you got that freezing order, you had to tell the judge all relevant matters, which my client might have wanted to rely on had he been at the hearing.
The children come first.
We need more support from both parents and teachers with regard to all extracurricular funding.
And it isn't only a fundraising issue, it raises the whole issue of why, in a democratic organisation, this type of funding.
.
.
What if I buy the spring bazaar tombola machine myself? Um, I had a windfall.
Yes.
Gina's already spread the word.
-Dark pink with black lace? -I'm not telling you.
Even if I draw the exact same garment, like Derren Brown? -I'm still not telling you.
-You don't have to tell me.
You can just show me.
If you show me your knickers, I will do all your work for you, as well as doing mine.
I'll go through all the court orders,flag up anything that isn't the same as last time, and I'll have it on your desk before seven o'clock tomorrow morning.
-That's not a bad offer, actually.
-Go on, I dare you.
How long? -Ten seconds? -Five.
Whatever.
All right, then.
10.
I just wanted to check and see how you were getting on, really.
All right.
Keeping busy.
-How's Sam coping? -Pretty badly.
Is he.
.
.
taking more time off college? I thought he might need a note or something.
He's not going back.
And he keeps asking me over and over about why we didn't call him back sooner, why we didn't tell him it was about to happen.
And who was in the room, who'd been round to see him.
-It's as though he's obsessed.
- Well, that's all completely normal, Gemma, but you should talk to him about going back to college.
The best thing right now is not change anything in your lives, no big decisions.
-He should go back.
-I know.
But it's as though he can't get over not being there, to say goodbye.
You had to respect john's wishes.
I knowl promised never to speak about it, but don't you think I should tell him what john wanted, what you did for him? No.
I think he'd never forgive you.
-Hey! -Hey, Trud.
I don't suppose you could come over to mine? Tonight.
Eight o'clock? -Yeah.
-OK.
I'll get a baby-sitter.
Great.
Thanks.
Thanks.
-Hari? Two women planning a wedding.
I may as well shoot myself now.
Look, much as I'm enjoying whipping you into shape on this one, d'you want me to give it to someone else? No way! No, they have no idea what they're dealing with.
OK, I was going to bring the Tibetan Book 0f The Dead, but I thought you'd much rather have this.
Or there's vodka? I could make a sea breeze, if you've got cranberry.
Thanks, Trud.
-Who did you get to baby-sit? -Oh, the crazy Croat.
She's just got engaged.
Siobhan? -What's going on? -What time is it? - 11:30.
- I came home early, I wanted to surprise you.
-You were supposed to call me when you were leaving.
-Was I? Sorry.
I've been calling you.
Hari Bloody hell.
Told you I wanted to surprise you.
You've certainly done that.
Come on then, help me unlace or I'll be struck in this thing forever.
If I must.
Did you remember to check your temperature? Babe, baby, I should really be on top.
Hari! Can you just stop thinking about babies for once, and just.
.
.
make love to me.
Sorry.
-I'm sorry.
-It's not your fault.
-So, did you see your flirty dad today? -Yeah.
He asked me for a coffee again, but I'd decided to pay that money into the bank - you know, the whole closure thing? So I asked him to come to a PTA meeting - no, I practically begged him.
And he didn't show, and I was really disappointed.
Why don't you just call him? No! Cos I feel less guilty if I'm not the one Why are we still talking about MY life? -Aren't we here to? -No, no.
It helps, it really does.
Well, it makes me feel like a totally rubbish friend, which clearly I am, or you would have told me two years ago.
Hey What is it? Trudi If I tell you this, you Yeah? .
.
You know I'd been treating john.
Well, I was treating him when he died .
.
and er I was there in his house .
.
right up until the end.
I was helping him with the pain.
I helped him, to Oh, fuck.
AndSam, his son, he came to see me at work today and I think he might have guessed it was me, that I was john's lover.
If this comes out, I'm screwed, Trudi.
They can stop me practising medicine, I could end up in court, I could end up Wait.
What does he know exactly? What did he say? That he knows his dad was seeing someone, and he wants to find out who.
OK, listen to me.
You have to stop treating the family.
You have to move them off your patient list and move others too.
No, no.
No, I can't.
Sam is 24.
He has been my patient for years - he's got no-one else to talk to.
So bloody what?! This is your life.
He's john's son.
John He asked me to keep an eye on him.
-You can't, Katie.
-When he was dying, Trudi.
You can't.
You are going to have to stop treating the family.
You're going to have to move on with your life.
You're going to have to forget that this affair ever happened.
I've already got about 30 hours' worth of Penny Smith and it's just difficult for me to stay late.
I'm sorry, but it's a knotty point, you'll have to look at some case law.
Siobhan, look, I know you've been taking time off for personal reasons, and I am sympathetic to that, but you know I'm fully supportive of your application to become partner, but if your level of commitment starts to drop -Fine, I'll stay late.
-OK.
Good.
Thank you.
God.
Dominic, you're not working on the jarvis case, are you? Mmhm.
But I can work late again, if you need a hand with it.
No.
Thanks.
I'll be fine.
I sent you an email.
-You know that's harassment.
-I can cite provocation.
- Morning! - Morning! - Hi, Richard.
- Hi.
Hi, Amy.
Quick, quick, quick, quick! Bye.
BYe Hi Look, sorry I missed the PTA meeting.
-Did you convict anyone? - No, but there was nearly an impeachment.
And I'm sure next week there'll be a mob-style assassination.
Sounds unmissable.
I tried to call you.
Your number's not on the list? 0h, no.
I had some funny calls a while back.
Hey, do you want to get that coffee? Look, I'veI've got to get to work now.
-Maybe after school we could do something.
-Yeah, sure.
Great.
OK.
See you then.
Yeah, OK.
Bye.
Bye.
Come in.
Rob, hi.
I wanted to ask you a favour.
For you, anything.
There's a few patients I've been struggling with lately.
-I wondered if -Yeah.
I'll stick 'em on my list.
If there's any of yours you want me to pick up I'll let you know.
-Thanks, Rob, I owe you.
-That's OK.
-Simon? Are you ready? -I can't come.
- What? I think Miranda suspects.
She found a long black hair in her hairbrush.
And in the bed.
Shit.
-Well, can't you blame the cleaner? -She's Belgian, with coarse blonde ringlets.
-Blame the nanny.
-She's an elderly Lithuanian jew, with short grey hair.
I've got to go home and face her.
-Who, the nanny? -No, my wife! Shit.
Well, good luck.
Hey, at least It's not all bad - you don't have to face the lezzers from hell.
- Alex, hi.
- Hi.
Where's Lisa, is she gonna meet us there? -Ah, no.
She couldn't make it.
-Right, so it'sjust you and me.
Right.
You're welcome.
OK.
Umcheers.
-Oh! What are we celebrating? -Well, I suppose I feel like I've got through the hardest part now, and the kids are settled.
Well, on your own, that's, er, pretty amazing.
That's why I didn't put Gina into Reception.
Since she only had me, I wanted her to have as much time with me as possible.
-That's very unselfish of you.
-0h, I dunno.
She's so happy to be at school, I think it was more for my sake.
Now I've got to figure out what to do with my empty days.
You're not planning to get a job? Oh, maybe.
You know, I'm not sure if I'm actually employable.
Or ever was, really.
-But you can manage, without? -0h, yeah, no.
Luckily Paul left us .
.
we're OK.
Siobhan, just give it up.
You know you need me.
You know, you really have nothing to be embarrassed about.
And I can verify that personally.
Shut up.
-just shut up.
-Come on, gimme some jarvis.
I don't understand.
Doctor Roden has been our family doctor for at least ten years.
Why am I suddenly taken off the list? -I'm really sorry but there's been some reorganisation of patient lists.
-Fine, but why ME? -Why have I been moved? -You can see Dr Carrington.
I don't want to see Dr Carrington.
I want to see Dr Roden.
Why do I have to see a different doctor? There's nothing we can do at the moment.
As I said before It's just the same as all the others - ugly, charmless and totally unromantic.
OK, you hate it.
I get it.
No, I don't think you do get it.
Why exactly are you doing this job? Why are you even getting married? That's none of your business.
Actually, it is, since I'm planning your wedding.
It's a civil partnership! What are you so pissed off about, Alex? Do you not want to get married? Yes, I do.
I just wish we'd done it in Morocco.
It's where I proposed after we'd had this huge fight and nearly split.
It just felt right, just the two of us, the view, the sky Get in.
Great.
So this is what I've ruined my favourite shoes for - for this stunted castle? They've got a space in three weeks, if you want it.
Look, I know it's not what you asked for, but but I .
.
I feel like you'd be happier saying your vows somewhere more private.
You know.
.
.
you're exactly right.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
So, how's it going with your spiky dykes? Yeah, fine.
-I thought you hated them.
-Yeah.
Well, they're growing on me.
You're not on call again, are you? Yes, I am, but they're not supposed to be calling my mobile.
-So, did you see your school-run bloke? -Um, yeah.
- I've just been out with him.
- Great.
- How did it go? - Really good.
I mean, we just got on so well.
And I was so myself, you know, andI think he still liked me.
0f course he did.
Yeah, but do you like HIM? I mean, who is this guy? Ah, my honorary wives.
Where's the real one - working late again? Have you got the father's deposition? - Here.
- Thanks.
If you two get together, you'll be Richard and Trudi! It's got a certain ring to it! My, God.
That's so weird.
I've been 'Paul and Trudi' forever.
- Well, don't get too serious too soon.
- Meaning? Enjoy the courtship, the romance This is coming from the woman who tried to bald my wife's fanny.
All I'm saying is, he could be the worst shag in the world, but she'd never know it cos it's been so long.
Coming from a serial slapper! Hey! No fighting.
So what about you, Katie? Shagging anyone? Or are you trying to beat Trudi's record? 0h, my pager.
Tell them to goto casualty, lazy bastards! Hari! 0rder's in.
Table 27.
Excuse me.
That's me.
Yes, hello.
This is Doctor Roden from the - Dr Roden, it's Sam Grey.
- Hi, Sam.
I need you to come over as soon as possible.
It's Mum - Yes.
- She's in a state, really upset.
- I can't calm her down, she's hysterical.
- OK, OK.
Don't panic.
- I'll be straight over.
- OK, thanks.
OK.
Bye.
I think I've got it.
Look.
In 1998 there's a judge order.
- Psychological evaluation.
- Show me.
Oh, that's perfect.
Dominic, you can't do that.
Hi, Trudi, it's Richard.
Um, listen, Ijust wanted to say I had fun today, and let's do it again soon.
Bye.
Hello? Hello? Hello? -Where is she? -She's, um, gone to bed.
-But I thought you said - Yeah, she calmed down, she, er took a sleeping pill.
- So, what happened? - It was my fault, I upset her.
Asking her stuff How are you? - I would've come and told you today, but, um - Yeah, I'm sorry about that.
- We were reorganising our patient lists.
- Why? It's to do with demographics, and female patients.
- Why us? Why me, right now? - It wasn't my decision, Sam.
I wasn't consulted, but it was an oversight on my part, considering your recent circumstances.
Now, if you'd like me to, I can transfer you back onto my list tomorrow.
- OK.
- It's not a problem.
- And I'm sorry if this has caused you any more - It's fine.
Will you be going back to college soon? I can write you a note if you need more time, but my advice would be to get back to normal as soon as possible.
I wanted to stay at home, to.
.
.
look after him but Dad said no.
He wanted me to carry on.
I'm sure he was very proud of you.
Or was it just because he didn't want me to get in the way of his love affair? He must have really loved her.
- He loved you too.
- Did he? You know, you shouldn't do that.
But it's.
.
.
it's too late.
I can't ask my dad about it I can't tell my mum.
I'm going to find her.
- Has anyone here ever kissed a girl? - I was thinking dinner.
0n our own? Isn't it weird? He appears in your life the day you get your cheque.
That's the only reason he would ask me out? - People see us together all the time.
' - Take me somewhere.
Hi Hari.
- Is Siobhan around? - She's around somewhere.
- Is everything OK at work? - Yeah, fine.
- Please, will you stop? -You have got bloody nerve.
trying to help you.
I'm trying to be your friend.
- 0h.
I'm so sorry.
- My fault.
I won't tell.
Hey! Happy birthday.
- You look very glamourous for a girls' night in.
Dol? Something smells nice, domestic goddess! Er, domestic, yes.
Goddess, no! I can't see you tonight.
-Who's the latest victim? -Her boss.
Finally taking her career seriously - that's a good thing.
Hello! -Yeah.
Married? -Aren't they always? -Well, maybe it's love.
-What, with jessica? Thank you! What's that? Very nice.
Mojitos! Go easy on them, though, I think I completely overdid the rum.
Gift! Where are the kids? Are they asleep already? Yeah, I'm sorry.
They couldn't keep their eyes open,but they did make you this card.
Aw! Look at that! Look at that.
Ah-h-h! -Wow, what's this? -That is a spa day for two.
-Wow! You have to take a date, but you don't have to take us.
-Thank you! -Yeah, but if you did prefer a girly I know, I know! -See if you remember this.
-What's this? -Oh, of course I do! -You do, huh? -Yeah! -I got it copied.
Look at that.
Do you remember that? Oh, Siobhan, you always manage to pick the perfect present! -Thank you.
-Sorry.
Sorry.
Sorry! Hey, look at that.
Look at us! - Are you going to open my present? - Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And drinks.
What is this, I wonder? Thank you, jessica, it's gorgeous.
I thought your lingerie could do with an update cos I reckon -yours has been seeing some action.
-What?! -Katie, are you holding out on us? -No! Sadly.
Serious I would tell you! -I would tell you.
-Well, with knickers like those, you're just gonna have to get laid.
You'd know about that, wouldn't you? How's the baby-making going? Sex in the morning, sex in the afternoon, sex in the evening.
-Mm, lucky you! -Careful, you'll turn into jessica.
-You wish! -0h, I'd say the novelty will wear off soon.
Oh, come on! You can't be on call today.
It's your birthday! -I'm sorry, I'm covering someone at the surgery.
-These are good.
Are they? Fantastic.
I know how to make a mojito! -No, no, no, go! You've got people to rescue and lives to save.
-Yeah.
Bye.
You were supposed to wait 15 minutes before you paged me.
I know.
But they have you for longer than I have, and I couldn't wait.
Mistresses S01E01 "Men Behaving Badly" You know you shouldn't do that.
I don't care.
And you should know better, Doctor.
No.
I shouldn't.
Will you help me? Do you need morphine? john, are you in pain? No.
No, not that.
Will you help me, Katie, when it's time? "Here is the deepest secret nobody knows.
" "'Here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud and the sky of the sky of a tree called Life, 'which grows higher than soul can hope or mind can hide.
'And this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart.
"I carry your heart.
" "I carry it in my heart.
" My, erm, dad wanted me to read that poem.
He was, erm, he was a really great dad, and a loving husband and a true friend to many.
I'm sure, erm all of us will miss him very dearly.
Dr.
Roden Hi, Sam.
I'm.
.
.
very sorry about your father.
You were treating him, weren't you? Well, he was under the care of the hospital doctors, but How come you all got it wrong? How come no-one told me he was about to die? It happened very quickly, it sometimes does and Someone must have realised.
Your father might have wanted to leave happier memories.
-But I'm sure he was thinking of you.
-He was having an affair.
Hi, Trudi, it's me.
Erm, are you around? Hi, Katie.
Sorry to keep calling you.
I know you're working.
I'm just checking you're on for tonight? I can't talk right now.
The girls have just been sent home from schoolwith nits.
.
.
Er, cheers.
Mummy, I've found the nits.
Ugh! Get away from me.
Hi, it's jess.
Leave a message.
jess, it's me.
I'm just checking you're back from Paris and you're on for tonight? It's 6:50 at mine 0h, and could you please let Siobhan know? OK, cheers, I'll see you later.
OK.
Bye.
See you at the office.
Siobhan, are you still coming tonight? jess, listen, darling, I'm gonna have to call you back, OK? What exactly are we looking for? Vaginal secretions.
It says here, when ovulating, secretions should be clear and stretchy.
Makes it easier for the sperm to swim in, apparently.
-Well? -Hari! Nah.
Nothing.
-No point shagging, then? -Nah.
So, did you remember to buy more folic acid? -I ask you to do one thing -I'll do it! I'll text Katie.
jess, it's Siobhan calling you back.
So.
.
.
how was Paris? ¡Bonjour Jessica! - "C'est Jean-Pierre" - Hey, jessica, 'it's Tom.
I'm in to You were shagging, weren't you? -I tell you all my conquests.
-Yep, the pleasure's all yours.
Where did you go? Hotel room? Siobhan, we're both adults.
Why won't you share your baby-making techniques? Cos I don't want to star in your grubby fantasies.
I've got 700 pages of this to get through.
Give a man a break! I wasn't shagging.
Hi, Katie.
Are you feeling better? -Yes.
Much better, thank you, Rob.
-Good.
Mum! She's tickling me! - Hi.
- Hi.
Don't worry.
I'm pretending not to notice as well.
Oh! You're Amy's dad.
Yeah, I've seen you at drop-off.
Richard.
And you must be Er, Cathy's mum.
Trudi.
Nice to meet you.
Erm, she's excited about having a new girl in her class.
Everyone's been amazingly friendly since we got here.
-Yeah? -Yeah, you'rejust being wooed by the opposing forces of the PTA! -Trust no-one, there's about to be a coup.
-Really? Whose side are you on? 0h, erm Well, you know, I'm not taking any chances, I'm backing both.
You'll have to fill me in some time.
Actually.
.
.
do you fancy going for a coffee? Not in here, there's a Starbucks nextdoor .
.
and across the road.
And one in the toilet probably! Do you know what? I've got three hours of nit-combing to do and I've got friends coming over No worries, sure.
Some other time.
Mum, can we have this? Yeah, ice cream! Married men are a no-brainer.
They're bedroom trained, they're low maintenance, and you've got a ready-made exit strategy.
-There you go.
-No mess, no fuss.
Except, sometimes their wives catch you.
-Isn't that the whole point? -No! The point was to shag him in the top three Parisian bridal suites at our client's expense.
God, I want your life, jess! How can you say that?! Hari's the loveliest man in the world.
All right, I only want her sex life! And your kids.
Aw.
Well, at least you're in love.
Put together, you'd make one perfectly satisfied individual.
No, I'm satisfied with sex.
You don't die if you don't get sex.
Clearly, or we'd have buried you years ago.
-No fighting! -0K, Katie.
Multiple choice -sex, love or kids? -What, can I only have one?! Love.
I THINK someone asked me out today.
-Really? -0h, yeah? -Hello! He's a new dad at school, and I think he just got divorced.
We got chatting at the supermarket and he said should we go for a coffee and I went, 'Erm, erm, uh-uh-erm' Hang on a minute.
He asked you out for a coffee in Sainsburys? No.
In Tesco's actually.
And, well, I'm not really sure he was asking me out.
What did he say? EXACT words.
-'D'you fancy going for a coffee?' -He said 'fancy'? -I think so.
-If he said that, he was asking you out.
Maybe he said 'want'.
Well, that's different.
That's more tricky to interpret This is exactly why I switched from English to Modern Languages.
Sorry, do we want to talk about YOUR sex life some more? Come on, woman, think.
We've been waiting six years for this.
Want or fancy? -Fancy.
-He was asking you out.
-Really? -Mm-hm.
- Really? - Mm-hm.
Trud.
.
.
? When did this come? It came this morning.
So you've scored a million and pulled on the same day.
See you, Trud.
Hey, you don't feel like a last one, do you? For the road? I thought you had to go home and shag? We could go to Metro? Sorry, I can't.
Got a late-night delivery.
See ya.
Why haven't you paid it in yet? Guilt.
I know.
Everything's screaming at me to move on.
The girls are both in school I've finally settled the money, and someone's even asked me out after six years.
I mean, someone I quite like.
How can I move on when I don't know what happened to Paul? What if he's still out there? No, he's not out there.
-Those phone calls -The police traced them.
-They were from public places.
-Thousands of people died.
-Where else would he be? -Maybe he lost his memory.
Then he wouldn't be calling you from pizza restaurants and cab firms, would he? You don't understand, not being able to say goodbye to him.
It's been six years, Trudi! Let it go, for Christ's sake.
-I'm sorry.
What? -Katie? Is everything all right? I've been having an affair.
-What?! -For two years.
He was married.
He was going to leave his wife, but, erm he got ill.
And he died last week.
john's funeral was this morning.
Oh, my God! Wh Why didn't you tell me? I couldn't.
I.
.
.
I wanted to, loads of times, and God, I know it sounds completely mad, but, erm -I just couldn't.
-Why not? Because he was my patient.
And, erm because you would've told me to stop.
Oh, Katie, I'm sorry.
And you've been listening to me, going on and on for the last six years.
But his son, Trudi His son knows he was having an affair.
You have one new message.
Doctor Roden, it's Sam Grey.
I found your number at home.
I.
.
.
need to speak to you.
It's important.
Please call me back on this number.
It says in here we should keep daily fertility lists.
I already do.
- 98.
1.
- Bingo! Come on.
-Can you Can youj ust? -Sure.
No, hang on.
I didn't mean that, I didn't mean that.
I'm late for work, and I just don't feel like it.
You used to be up for a shag anyplace, anytime.
It's one of the qualities that drew me to you.
Isn't there ANYTHING in that bloody book of yours that says how to make this fun?! You should read it, you might find out.
Mummy! What have you done to your face? Right.
School.
Now.
So.
.
.
what did you drag me out of bed for? Hard to leave, was it? Your next assignment - Lisa and Alex's lesbian wedding.
I hate weddings.
You know I hate weddings.
People wanking on about adoring each other, it's nauseating.
Come on Don't start defending the institution of marriage cos it won't cut any ice with me.
Give it to Mel, she's a walking bloody rom-com! Yeah, but I don't wanna sleep with Mel.
Hotels, restaurants, limousines And since this one's against the clock, I want you working directly under me.
I hate weddings.
Which one do you reckon's the bride? -jessica.
Hi, let's talk about your happy day.
- Hello.
-Morning, Anne.
-Morning.
Thank you.
Are we talking small and beautiful or big and fabulous? We've done a rough guest list.
It's somewhere between 150 and 200.
And the rest.
OK, well, if you're free a bit later on, we'll start by looking at some venues for upto 200.
OK well, here are some possibilities.
OK, girls.
Come on.
-Cathy! I'll see you after school, darling.
-Whatever! -OK.
Bye, sweetie.
-Bye! - Hi.
- Hi.
Um, do you fancy getting that coffee? 0her I'd love to, but there's something I really have to do this morning 0h, right.
Fine.
Oh, but there's a PTA meeting this afternoon.
If you come along, we could grab a coffee after? - Uh.
.
.
that might be a bit tricky.
-0h, please.
Well I'd just love it if you would.
I mean, it's like 12 Angry Women in there.
I'd love to throw them a curve ball.
OK, I'll see what I can do.
-OK.
-OK.
Bye.
-Bye.
Sam Grey, please.
Come in.
Hi, Sam.
Come and take a seat, will you? Yeah.
I wanted to apologise for how I behaved at my dad's funeral.
Um.
.
.
I've been trying to get hold of you.
It was really good of you to come.
- I've been treating your family for a long while, so.
.
.
- Yeah, my mum said how much y0u've been there for them both.
I'm sorry I was so rude.
-It's OK.
-It's just I was up all night writing the eulogy, and then, er, that morning, that's when I found That's when I realised It was such a nightmare, you know.
All I could think about was how long he'd been lying to me and whether she was sat there, in front of me You know? -I shouldn't have taken that out on you.
-No, no.
-That's completely underst.
.
.
-No, it's pathetic, that's what it is.
Looking for someone to blame.
When it was, it was me.
I should have been there.
I should have been with him.
Sam, your father would have wanted you to remember him strong and healthy.
Is that what he said? You said that to me before.
Well, he I just know that he'd hate you to be beating yourself up over not being there at the end.
Yeah.
That's what I thought.
But now I have my doubts.
So what, um, what made you? -I wouldn't want my mum to find out about any of this.
-No, of course not.
What you say in here is completely confidential.
Yeah.
So I was ringing around everybody about the funeral, and, er, my dad used to play football on Sunday afternoons.
And I spoke to the bloke that organised it, and he said he hadn't been for, y'know, two years.
And I thought it must be the illness .
.
but then I found this.
It was in the, um, suit pocket, the suit he wanted to be buried in.
That's, um, not my mum's handwriting.
She said that YOU were there a lot, towards the end.
You don't have any idea who it could be, do you? No.
No.
No, I don't.
-I'm just popping out.
-Again? If Duggan wants me, tell him I've got a doctor's appointment.
You said that yesterday.
I can have you followed, you know.
We do have people here that do that.
Will you just cover for me, please? -Tell me where you're really going.
-Wouldn't YOU like to know?! Hey.
jess, where are you? I've 40 minutes.
Um just near the High Street.
I've got.
.
.
- 25 minutes.
- OK.
I'll see you in five.
-You take care, Sam.
-Thanks, thanks for.
.
.
.
.
I didn't know who else to talk to.
I want him to look at me like I'm his wildest erotic fantasy, and he's been waiting all day to take me on the kitchen table.
Instead of like I'm this empty vessel who ought to be eight months pregnant in a smock.
Good for the anti-smock factor.
Goodness.
Well, I suppose I have to do something, it's like we're shagging in Groundhog Day.
You should really wax your fanny with those, though.
-Goodness! Why? -For the porn look.
Try it, might shock Hari into some radical new moves.
No! The last thing we need is more gynaecology.
Honestly, Trudi's school run has more mystery to it.
Don't you think that's a bit weird, him asking her out the day she gets her million? No.
How would he know? Hello.
And, um, could you take my husband's name off the account, please? Sure.
Thank you.
-Got time for a sandwich? -Er, Rob, I haven't.
Sorry.
I've got a house call.
Goodbye.
-Siobhan, I've gotta go.
-OK.
You look.
.
.
fabulous.
Really? Yes.
Go for it! OK! Oh, God.
- Siobhan Dhillon.
- Hi.
They've applied to the court.
Smith & Smith? That's laid down for next week.
-I know.
They didn't tell us.
-What? -They've applied without notice? -Yup.
-No, they can't! -Well, they have.
-What?! -They're on their way over.
-Right now.
- No! Shit! Yeah.
No.
I'll be there in five minutes.
OK.
-Hurry! - -Yeah.
OK.
Oh, shit, shit.
Um, excuse me? Hello? OK.
OK.
-Is everything OK? -Yes.
I'm taking everything.
-0h.
Great! -There you go.
Thanks.
You're welcome.
OK, so this is option eight, or is it nine? I can't remember.
Anyway I think you might like this one.
Great space.
It's pretty much a blank canvas, so we can decorate it however you want.
Cool.
And we can create different areas using screens and fabrics.
-I've got some images here I can show you.
-I hate it.
Look, I know you're doing your best, but it's just big and bland and soulless.
just like the others.
Well, that's because we haven't made it our own yet.
It'll never be our own.
I want it to say something about us, me and Lisa, and our life together.
So you want somewhere beautiful genuine and intimate for 200 people.
-Come on.
-Tell me.
OK.

The freezing order was made on the 23rd of April, to prevent any dissipation of Smith's marital assets.
The 23rd of April.
.
.
2007.
The difficulty arises over the exact parameters of the freezing order.
They're made clear in the order.
Your client can't touch the proceeds from the sale of the former matrimonial home.
Or deal on the French property.
Then he's unable to pay his employees' salaries.
You said that to the judge.
He didn't like it and we don't like it.
While I accept you may be correct about the judgment at the time, my client may have to make an application to vary this order, otherwise his business stands to fail, and that is neither in his interest, nor in your client's.
There are also some very serious issues as to non-disclosure, as you well know.
When you got that freezing order, you had to tell the judge all relevant matters, which my client might have wanted to rely on had he been at the hearing.
The children come first.
We need more support from both parents and teachers with regard to all extracurricular funding.
And it isn't only a fundraising issue, it raises the whole issue of why, in a democratic organisation, this type of funding.
.
.
What if I buy the spring bazaar tombola machine myself? Um, I had a windfall.
Yes.
Gina's already spread the word.
-Dark pink with black lace? -I'm not telling you.
Even if I draw the exact same garment, like Derren Brown? -I'm still not telling you.
-You don't have to tell me.
You can just show me.
If you show me your knickers, I will do all your work for you, as well as doing mine.
I'll go through all the court orders,flag up anything that isn't the same as last time, and I'll have it on your desk before seven o'clock tomorrow morning.
-That's not a bad offer, actually.
-Go on, I dare you.
How long? -Ten seconds? -Five.
Whatever.
All right, then.
10.
I just wanted to check and see how you were getting on, really.
All right.
Keeping busy.
-How's Sam coping? -Pretty badly.
Is he.
.
.
taking more time off college? I thought he might need a note or something.
He's not going back.
And he keeps asking me over and over about why we didn't call him back sooner, why we didn't tell him it was about to happen.
And who was in the room, who'd been round to see him.
-It's as though he's obsessed.
- Well, that's all completely normal, Gemma, but you should talk to him about going back to college.
The best thing right now is not change anything in your lives, no big decisions.
-He should go back.
-I know.
But it's as though he can't get over not being there, to say goodbye.
You had to respect john's wishes.
I knowl promised never to speak about it, but don't you think I should tell him what john wanted, what you did for him? No.
I think he'd never forgive you.
-Hey! -Hey, Trud.
I don't suppose you could come over to mine? Tonight.
Eight o'clock? -Yeah.
-OK.
I'll get a baby-sitter.
Great.
Thanks.
Thanks.
-Hari? Two women planning a wedding.
I may as well shoot myself now.
Look, much as I'm enjoying whipping you into shape on this one, d'you want me to give it to someone else? No way! No, they have no idea what they're dealing with.
OK, I was going to bring the Tibetan Book 0f The Dead, but I thought you'd much rather have this.
Or there's vodka? I could make a sea breeze, if you've got cranberry.
Thanks, Trud.
-Who did you get to baby-sit? -Oh, the crazy Croat.
She's just got engaged.
Siobhan? -What's going on? -What time is it? - 11:30.
- I came home early, I wanted to surprise you.
-You were supposed to call me when you were leaving.
-Was I? Sorry.
I've been calling you.
Hari Bloody hell.
Told you I wanted to surprise you.
You've certainly done that.
Come on then, help me unlace or I'll be struck in this thing forever.
If I must.
Did you remember to check your temperature? Babe, baby, I should really be on top.
Hari! Can you just stop thinking about babies for once, and just.
.
.
make love to me.
Sorry.
-I'm sorry.
-It's not your fault.
-So, did you see your flirty dad today? -Yeah.
He asked me for a coffee again, but I'd decided to pay that money into the bank - you know, the whole closure thing? So I asked him to come to a PTA meeting - no, I practically begged him.
And he didn't show, and I was really disappointed.
Why don't you just call him? No! Cos I feel less guilty if I'm not the one Why are we still talking about MY life? -Aren't we here to? -No, no.
It helps, it really does.
Well, it makes me feel like a totally rubbish friend, which clearly I am, or you would have told me two years ago.
Hey What is it? Trudi If I tell you this, you Yeah? .
.
You know I'd been treating john.
Well, I was treating him when he died .
.
and er I was there in his house .
.
right up until the end.
I was helping him with the pain.
I helped him, to Oh, fuck.
AndSam, his son, he came to see me at work today and I think he might have guessed it was me, that I was john's lover.
If this comes out, I'm screwed, Trudi.
They can stop me practising medicine, I could end up in court, I could end up Wait.
What does he know exactly? What did he say? That he knows his dad was seeing someone, and he wants to find out who.
OK, listen to me.
You have to stop treating the family.
You have to move them off your patient list and move others too.
No, no.
No, I can't.
Sam is 24.
He has been my patient for years - he's got no-one else to talk to.
So bloody what?! This is your life.
He's john's son.
John He asked me to keep an eye on him.
-You can't, Katie.
-When he was dying, Trudi.
You can't.
You are going to have to stop treating the family.
You're going to have to move on with your life.
You're going to have to forget that this affair ever happened.
I've already got about 30 hours' worth of Penny Smith and it's just difficult for me to stay late.
I'm sorry, but it's a knotty point, you'll have to look at some case law.
Siobhan, look, I know you've been taking time off for personal reasons, and I am sympathetic to that, but you know I'm fully supportive of your application to become partner, but if your level of commitment starts to drop -Fine, I'll stay late.
-OK.
Good.
Thank you.
God.
Dominic, you're not working on the jarvis case, are you? Mmhm.
But I can work late again, if you need a hand with it.
No.
Thanks.
I'll be fine.
I sent you an email.
-You know that's harassment.
-I can cite provocation.
- Morning! - Morning! - Hi, Richard.
- Hi.
Hi, Amy.
Quick, quick, quick, quick! Bye.
BYe Hi Look, sorry I missed the PTA meeting.
-Did you convict anyone? - No, but there was nearly an impeachment.
And I'm sure next week there'll be a mob-style assassination.
Sounds unmissable.
I tried to call you.
Your number's not on the list? 0h, no.
I had some funny calls a while back.
Hey, do you want to get that coffee? Look, I'veI've got to get to work now.
-Maybe after school we could do something.
-Yeah, sure.
Great.
OK.
See you then.
Yeah, OK.
Bye.
Bye.
Come in.
Rob, hi.
I wanted to ask you a favour.
For you, anything.
There's a few patients I've been struggling with lately.
-I wondered if -Yeah.
I'll stick 'em on my list.
If there's any of yours you want me to pick up I'll let you know.
-Thanks, Rob, I owe you.
-That's OK.
-Simon? Are you ready? -I can't come.
- What? I think Miranda suspects.
She found a long black hair in her hairbrush.
And in the bed.
Shit.
-Well, can't you blame the cleaner? -She's Belgian, with coarse blonde ringlets.
-Blame the nanny.
-She's an elderly Lithuanian jew, with short grey hair.
I've got to go home and face her.
-Who, the nanny? -No, my wife! Shit.
Well, good luck.
Hey, at least It's not all bad - you don't have to face the lezzers from hell.
- Alex, hi.
- Hi.
Where's Lisa, is she gonna meet us there? -Ah, no.
She couldn't make it.
-Right, so it'sjust you and me.
Right.
You're welcome.
OK.
Umcheers.
-Oh! What are we celebrating? -Well, I suppose I feel like I've got through the hardest part now, and the kids are settled.
Well, on your own, that's, er, pretty amazing.
That's why I didn't put Gina into Reception.
Since she only had me, I wanted her to have as much time with me as possible.
-That's very unselfish of you.
-0h, I dunno.
She's so happy to be at school, I think it was more for my sake.
Now I've got to figure out what to do with my empty days.
You're not planning to get a job? Oh, maybe.
You know, I'm not sure if I'm actually employable.
Or ever was, really.
-But you can manage, without? -0h, yeah, no.
Luckily Paul left us .
.
we're OK.
Siobhan, just give it up.
You know you need me.
You know, you really have nothing to be embarrassed about.
And I can verify that personally.
Shut up.
-just shut up.
-Come on, gimme some jarvis.
I don't understand.
Doctor Roden has been our family doctor for at least ten years.
Why am I suddenly taken off the list? -I'm really sorry but there's been some reorganisation of patient lists.
-Fine, but why ME? -Why have I been moved? -You can see Dr Carrington.
I don't want to see Dr Carrington.
I want to see Dr Roden.
Why do I have to see a different doctor? There's nothing we can do at the moment.
As I said before It's just the same as all the others - ugly, charmless and totally unromantic.
OK, you hate it.
I get it.
No, I don't think you do get it.
Why exactly are you doing this job? Why are you even getting married? That's none of your business.
Actually, it is, since I'm planning your wedding.
It's a civil partnership! What are you so pissed off about, Alex? Do you not want to get married? Yes, I do.
I just wish we'd done it in Morocco.
It's where I proposed after we'd had this huge fight and nearly split.
It just felt right, just the two of us, the view, the sky Get in.
Great.
So this is what I've ruined my favourite shoes for - for this stunted castle? They've got a space in three weeks, if you want it.
Look, I know it's not what you asked for, but but I .
.
I feel like you'd be happier saying your vows somewhere more private.
You know.
.
.
you're exactly right.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
So, how's it going with your spiky dykes? Yeah, fine.
-I thought you hated them.
-Yeah.
Well, they're growing on me.
You're not on call again, are you? Yes, I am, but they're not supposed to be calling my mobile.
-So, did you see your school-run bloke? -Um, yeah.
- I've just been out with him.
- Great.
- How did it go? - Really good.
I mean, we just got on so well.
And I was so myself, you know, andI think he still liked me.
0f course he did.
Yeah, but do you like HIM? I mean, who is this guy? Ah, my honorary wives.
Where's the real one - working late again? Have you got the father's deposition? - Here.
- Thanks.
If you two get together, you'll be Richard and Trudi! It's got a certain ring to it! My, God.
That's so weird.
I've been 'Paul and Trudi' forever.
- Well, don't get too serious too soon.
- Meaning? Enjoy the courtship, the romance This is coming from the woman who tried to bald my wife's fanny.
All I'm saying is, he could be the worst shag in the world, but she'd never know it cos it's been so long.
Coming from a serial slapper! Hey! No fighting.
So what about you, Katie? Shagging anyone? Or are you trying to beat Trudi's record? 0h, my pager.
Tell them to goto casualty, lazy bastards! Hari! 0rder's in.
Table 27.
Excuse me.
That's me.
Yes, hello.
This is Doctor Roden from the - Dr Roden, it's Sam Grey.
- Hi, Sam.
I need you to come over as soon as possible.
It's Mum - Yes.

- I can't calm her down, she's hysterical.
- OK, OK.
Don't panic.
- I'll be straight over.

I think I've got it.
Look.

- Show me.
Oh, that's perfect.
Dominic, you can't do that.
Hi, Trudi, it's Richard.
Um, listen, Ijust wanted to say I had fun today, and let's do it again soon.
Bye.
Hello? Hello? Hello? -Where is she? -She's, um, gone to bed.
-But I thought you said - Yeah, she calmed down, she, er took a sleeping pill.
- So, what happened? - It was my fault, I upset her.
Asking her stuff How are you? - I would've come and told you today, but, um - Yeah, I'm sorry about that.
- We were reorganising our patient lists.
- Why? It's to do with demographics, and female patients.
- Why us? Why me, right now? - It wasn't my decision, Sam.
I wasn't consulted, but it was an oversight on my part, considering your recent circumstances.
Now, if you'd like me to, I can transfer you back onto my list tomorrow.
- OK.
- It's not a problem.
- And I'm sorry if this has caused you any more - It's fine.
Will you be going back to college soon? I can write you a note if you need more time, but my advice would be to get back to normal as soon as possible.
I wanted to stay at home, to.
.
.
look after him but Dad said no.
He wanted me to carry on.
I'm sure he was very proud of you.
Or was it just because he didn't want me to get in the way of his love affair? He must have really loved her.
- He loved you too.
- Did he? You know, you shouldn't do that.
But it's.
.
.
it's too late.
I can't ask my dad about it I can't tell my mum.
I'm going to find her.
- Has anyone here ever kissed a girl? - I was thinking dinner.
0n our own? Isn't it weird? He appears in your life the day you get your cheque.
That's the only reason he would ask me out? - People see us together all the time.
' - Take me somewhere.
Hi Hari.
- Is Siobhan around? - She's around somewhere.
- Is everything OK at work? - Yeah, fine.
- Please, will you stop? -You have got bloody nerve.

I'm so sorry.
- My fault.
