So I'll see you later? Yeah,OK,I'll see you later.
Bye-bye.
These are yours.
No,they're his.
But I imagine you want me to prove it.
He always took them off whenever he came in.
He said they made him feel guilty.
He was very open about that,the guilt.
He said he could remember the look on your face when you first gave them to him, how proud you were of him.
That doesn't prove anything.
- You could have - Made it up? I could have,but I didn't.
I could have made this up,too.
This is my son.
His name is Paul.
This is Paul's father.
I was with him the day he tore his Achilles heel on Fifth Avenue.
Boy,that man could cry,couldn't he? I know that he liked to sleep with the light on somewhere.
I know that he suffered from heartburn.
I still have the anti-acid pills at home in my bathroom cabinet.
I know your Cathy was breach.
I know it all,Trudi.
He was about to tell you.
.
.
about us,the baby.
Well,he never said a word.
No,I know.
He went to work.
I'm sorry.
I can't do this any more.
Trudi.
Don't you touch me.
We need to talk.
I mean,I know this has been a shock and maybe now's not the time, but look,take my cell number.
We have too much in common to just ignore each other,don't you think? We get one of these at each table and the guys get to do a 20-second pitch, then the girls get to play with the toy.
'No chance,minger.
' '0nly if I'm blind drunk.
' 'Get your coat.
' What? How would you sum yourself up in 20 seconds? Likes astronauts and rock stars but would settle for trainee accountants? I don't know.
I'm not doing this.
How about,'I shag everything'? Right.
It's true,isn't it? I've got no idea what your problem is, but if you don't deal with it right now.
you're certainly not going to get your present.
What present? jessica,what present? I wait for you I don't know why All I know Isl can't hide At this temperature You could take over my mind Like gossamer You softly touch He draws me in I'm powerless He possesses An enchantment Tell me I'm forgiven He calls Don't know how I fell under his spell Trud.
You OK? What is it? What is it? What's the matter? It's all true.
Oh,Trudi.
It's all right.
It's OK.
She has a child,Katie.
A little boy.
Paul's little boy.
I mean,two years he was with her before he died.
Two years! Are you sure? I.
.
.
There are things she couldn't know otherwise.
0h,my God,he had a son! All right.
Come on,come on.
It's all right.
He had a whole other life with her.
And she's here.
She's telling me that we're somehow the same, that what was between them was worth as much.
I mean,Paul and I had our whole lives.
- We had history! - I know.
I know.
You don't get that having an affair.
She was his lover,I was his wife.
YOU HAVE A NEW MAIL MESSAGE I1M DICK FOGEIVE ME? - Hi.
- Hiya.
I wanted to see you after yesterday, which was one of the weirder afternoons of my life.
Sorry.
What's going on,Trudi? Why don't you come in? Three times I told you,three times.
How could you just forget? I don't know how.
I was in a meeting.
I lost track of time.
Oh,so itjust slipped your mind? Yes.
Siobhan,how can it slip your mind? Do you actually want this at all? Yes.
Hari,please.
Iwill call.
I will set another time.
I've already done it.
Tomorrow after work.
OK,thank you.
It's a pleasure Sorry.
So all of this was going on and I was in here trying to molest you? I'm so sorry.
No,please,don't be.
You didn't molest me.
Well,good.
I'm glad you see it that way.
I'm really glad I've told you what's going on.
So am I.
See? Hands on the table.
Nowhere else but on the table.
No groping.
just kissing.
I promise.
I hope I'm not insensitive to the pressures of people's lives here.
But some things are simply unacceptable.
Particularly from those who would aspire to partnership.
Am I transparent,Siobhan? It won't happen again.
Have you really got a present for me? Have you decided to behave yourself? Tell me or I'll fire you.
You OK? Yeah,fine,I'mjust,um I'm just really tired at the moment.
I'm sorry about before.
Don't worry about Duggan.
I didn't mean Duggan.
I mean Hari.
Whatever's going on between you two right now.
Thank you.
But they're my problems,not yours.
I know.
But if you wanted,I could make them mine.
I'm notjust for fun.
I can be for keeps.
And he just listened and Well,he was kind,understanding.
That's what he is,kind and understanding.
Which is good,right? Yeah,it is.
But the timing's terrible.
I mean,it's like,here's a lovely new man and, wallop,the man that you trusted with everything isjust someone entirely different.
What's she like? Ballsy,blonde.
Why did he do it? I don't know.
I don't want to think about why he did it.
Sorry.
You just never know,do you? You know,I mean,Paul.
I know.
I'd never have picked Paul.
And you can pick them,can you? Yeah,I can.
Hari,for example.
It'sjust not in him.
No,it's not.
Ah,it's Katie.
Where the hell has she been? Hi.
Fm so sorry Fm late.
- Hi.
Well,no wonder.
No wonder,what? Look at her.
What,what? What? Ah,sex.
We can tell.
Yeah.
The question is,who is it? Yes,Katie.
Who has done this to you? Yes,Katie,who? No-one you know.
Ooh,OK,I like this game.
Um,is it a man? Yes! Age? - Over A0? - Oh,stop it.
How about under S0? Katie? How much under S0? Are we talking months .
.
0r years? 0h,my God,you filthy,molesting sex bunny! The words'pot,kettle and black' spring to mind.
Which way are you swinging now? Ah,apparently that's complicated.
Oh,well,I am surprised.
Well? I don't know.
It might be one,it might be the other,or it might be both.
Which is why I've arranged a little experiment.
Give me that old-fashioned morphine Give me that old-fashioned morphine Give me that old-fashioned morphine I wasn't sure what to bring,so,um Simon,this is Stella.
Hi.

What are you doing? What the hell are you doing,Katie? I won'tjust ignore the fact that you're ruining your life.
- Get in.
- No! I have to get them to school.
- Then do that.
- This is sick.
It is unworthy of you.
Sick? How dare you? Is this what this business with Paul and his other woman has done to you? This is nothing to do with Paul.
Isn't it? You come round here trying to tell me howto live my life.
You don't know how I'm feeling.
just like you had no idea how they were feeling.
What do you mean? Maybe they fell in love,Trudi.
OK,get in the car.
Hi.
Hi.

Perhaps next time it could be just the two of us? I don't know if you've noticed,but I'm.

It's five minutes from here.

Actually,I'll come with you.
And she did something to me.
Notjust a physicalthing,although I felt it in a physical way.
Sounds good.
Yeah,it was.
- Tuna cucumber,please.
- OK.
So since then I've gone back to men,which is still good, and then I've had both men and women,which Well,that was both and good,but .
.

I don't know where I can get that again.
I don't know what that was.
- Thank you.
- Thank you.
Thank you.
Thanks.
Your change.
So you really don't know what that was? No.
Interesting.
Tell me,what else was it like? Overwhelming.
Entirely.
But not in a bad way? No.
Like your body and emotions weren't different things any more? Yeah.
You're in love.
What did you just say? Make yourself at home.
Er Er Ah.
They're nice kids.
They're my sister's.
They're pretty cool.
As long as she takes them home at the end ofthe day.
Everyone says that.
I know.
I'm just not that bothered,you know.
Too many other things to do in life.
Did I say something I shouldn't have? No.
Ithink,um Ijust think we should get back.
Yeah,course.
I'm glad you called.
Well,I needed to ask you a few questions.
I'm sure.
Let me ask you something.
Do you still get that feeling that one night he'sjust going to walk in, sit down and eat his dinner? No closure.
I know what you're thinking.
'We're not the same,the mistress and I.
' You want to reassure yourself that what Paul and I had was nothing but a second-rate fling.
Actually,in one way,you're right.
I am second best,because do you know what you get that I don't? Legitimacy.
You get to tell the whole world all about it.
You get the flowers,the condolences,the recognition.
Me,my son OK,I think I understand that.
And I am sorry.
But I won't have you implying that what Cathy, Gina and I have been through is of any less significance.
He was my husband.
I know.
I'm not trying to say No,I think you are.
I think you want some kind of heartbreak contest.
That's not what I want.
Then what do you want? The money.
I know about the widows' fund, about your big fat cheque.
This is about money? He is Paul's son too.
But.
.
.
this is about money? ! Hey! It's easy to take that line when you have plenty.
You are nothing to me.
Nothing.
I don't want you near us.
- Do you hear me? - Yeah,I hear you.
But I'm not going anywhere.
All I want is what my son has coming to him.
You think about that.
You think about what's fair.
You can get the drinks.
Siobhan,I'm going to tell you again.
If you want to stay with Hari,you have to come clean.
What if it is his? 0h,come on! You two have been trying to have a baby now for years.
Along comes office boy and,bingo,you're pregnant.
Siobhan,this is Hari.
Which is why he is having his baby.
But it's not his baby.
There's a chance it's his.
There's a chance I'll cure cancer.
You told me.
Right here.
You said there was a possibility.
I was being kind.
There is a chance.
.
.
a doubt.
No,lawyer,it is lies and deception and you don't do that to someone you love.
Please,Katie.
That is why I'm doing it.
Katie? Yes.
Sorry.
I know.
I know.
Hi.
Hi.
CanI ? Yeah,course.
Come in.
Thanks.
I was going to call,actually.
Anyway,I found out what that woman wants.
And? Money.
A third for Paul's son.
If he is Paul's son.
Yeah,I know.
You know,hearing her,it made me think about what it's been like for you with john.
I don't know,maybe I could be more understanding.
No,no,no.
It's,um It's a difficult thing.
But what I wanted to say to you was that you're right about Sam.
I can't keep lying.
I really think it's the right thing to do.
So I'm going to tell him about me and john.
I mean,we can't be together, we can't properly be together unless he knows the truth.
What do you mean,'together'? Truth? I mean,that's only half the truth.
You can't tell him how his father died.
He makes me happy,Trudi.
I want this to work.
Katie,you're my friend and I love you,but this is a delusion.
Hi.
It's me.
I was wondering if you could come over.
Sam,hi.
It's me.
I'm outside.
Hi.

Before we go,I All this sneaking around is exciting and fun and everything,but But what? You want to go out,we'll go out.

Is that why you wanted me to come over? No.

No,it isn't.
I'm sorry,I don't think I can give you what you want right now.
Look,please Please try to understand,OK? It Paul was the bedrock of everything that I believed in.
I trusted him and now I know that was for nothing and I don't know what to trust.
I see.
Well,do you,really? Yes,you have no problem with me collecting your girls from school.
You trust me with the two most important things in your life, but not with you.
Not with your heart.
I'm sorry.
Well,don't be sorry.
See,this is what it's like.
You just either shut down or you're pestering me for sex.

It's a gift.
And if I were already pregnant would that show up? Sorry? Have you been making pancakes? Trudi,this woman is lying to you.

There is no way that Paul would ever betray you like that.

You're here.
I can only stay for a little bit,OK? You need to tell her.
Tru,you were warned about this.
Yeah,I know.
She's a hustler.
She heard about the money.
This is Paul.
He wouldn't do something like this.
0h,I know.
But how would that woman have these? That's what these people do.
They're professionals.
Hon,you are being scammed.
Has she even said what she wants yet? No.
There's a note -'You know where to find me.

You're very easy to be with,you know that? You are! You make me feel very comfortable.
Comfortable? Sexy.
No,you know what I mean.
People must have told you that.
People ? 0thers before me.
No,there were no others.
No,seriously,you're my first.
Hey.
Hey.
Everything OK? Peachy.
What's that? It's your cab.

Truds,hi.
Ijust wanted to check everything's all right today.

All right,good.
So I'll see you later? Yeah,OK,I'll see you later.
Bye-bye.
These are yours.
No,they're his.
But I imagine you want me to prove it.
He always took them off whenever he came in.
He said they made him feel guilty.
He was very open about that,the guilt.
He said he could remember the look on your face when you first gave them to him, how proud you were of him.
That doesn't prove anything.
- You could have - Made it up? I could have,but I didn't.
I could have made this up,too.
This is my son.
His name is Paul.
This is Paul's father.
I was with him the day he tore his Achilles heel on Fifth Avenue.
Boy,that man could cry,couldn't he? I know that he liked to sleep with the light on somewhere.
I know that he suffered from heartburn.
I still have the anti-acid pills at home in my bathroom cabinet.
I know your Cathy was breach.
I know it all,Trudi.
He was about to tell you.
.
.
about us,the baby.
Well,he never said a word.
No,I know.
He went to work.
I'm sorry.
I can't do this any more.
Trudi.
Don't you touch me.
We need to talk.
I mean,I know this has been a shock and maybe now's not the time, but look,take my cell number.
We have too much in common to just ignore each other,don't you think? We get one of these at each table and the guys get to do a 20-second pitch, then the girls get to play with the toy.
'No chance,minger.
' '0nly if I'm blind drunk.
' 'Get your coat.
' What? How would you sum yourself up in 20 seconds? Likes astronauts and rock stars but would settle for trainee accountants? I don't know.
I'm not doing this.
How about,'I shag everything'? Right.
It's true,isn't it? I've got no idea what your problem is, but if you don't deal with it right now.
you're certainly not going to get your present.
What present? jessica,what present? I wait for you I don't know why All I know Isl can't hide At this temperature You could take over my mind Like gossamer You softly touch He draws me in I'm powerless He possesses An enchantment Tell me I'm forgiven He calls Don't know how I fell under his spell Trud.
You OK? What is it? What is it? What's the matter? It's all true.
Oh,Trudi.
It's all right.
It's OK.
She has a child,Katie.
A little boy.
Paul's little boy.
I mean,two years he was with her before he died.
Two years! Are you sure? I.
.
.
There are things she couldn't know otherwise.
0h,my God,he had a son! All right.
Come on,come on.
It's all right.
He had a whole other life with her.
And she's here.
She's telling me that we're somehow the same, that what was between them was worth as much.
I mean,Paul and I had our whole lives.
- We had history! - I know.
I know.
You don't get that having an affair.
She was his lover,I was his wife.
YOU HAVE A NEW MAIL MESSAGE I1M DICK FOGEIVE ME? - Hi.
- Hiya.
I wanted to see you after yesterday, which was one of the weirder afternoons of my life.
Sorry.
What's going on,Trudi? Why don't you come in? Three times I told you,three times.
How could you just forget? I don't know how.
I was in a meeting.
I lost track of time.
Oh,so itjust slipped your mind? Yes.
Siobhan,how can it slip your mind? Do you actually want this at all? Yes.
Hari,please.
Iwill call.
I will set another time.
I've already done it.
Tomorrow after work.
OK,thank you.
It's a pleasure Sorry.
So all of this was going on and I was in here trying to molest you? I'm so sorry.
No,please,don't be.
You didn't molest me.
Well,good.
I'm glad you see it that way.
I'm really glad I've told you what's going on.
So am I.
See? Hands on the table.
Nowhere else but on the table.
No groping.
just kissing.
I promise.
I hope I'm not insensitive to the pressures of people's lives here.
But some things are simply unacceptable.
Particularly from those who would aspire to partnership.
Am I transparent,Siobhan? It won't happen again.
Have you really got a present for me? Have you decided to behave yourself? Tell me or I'll fire you.
You OK? Yeah,fine,I'mjust,um I'm just really tired at the moment.
I'm sorry about before.
Don't worry about Duggan.
I didn't mean Duggan.
I mean Hari.
Whatever's going on between you two right now.
Thank you.
But they're my problems,not yours.
I know.
But if you wanted,I could make them mine.
I'm notjust for fun.
I can be for keeps.
And he just listened and Well,he was kind,understanding.
That's what he is,kind and understanding.
Which is good,right? Yeah,it is.
But the timing's terrible.
I mean,it's like,here's a lovely new man and, wallop,the man that you trusted with everything isjust someone entirely different.
What's she like? Ballsy,blonde.
Why did he do it? I don't know.
I don't want to think about why he did it.
Sorry.
You just never know,do you? You know,I mean,Paul.
I know.
I'd never have picked Paul.
And you can pick them,can you? Yeah,I can.
Hari,for example.
It'sjust not in him.
No,it's not.
Ah,it's Katie.
Where the hell has she been? Hi.
Fm so sorry Fm late.
- Hi.
Well,no wonder.
No wonder,what? Look at her.
What,what? What? Ah,sex.
We can tell.
Yeah.
The question is,who is it? Yes,Katie.
Who has done this to you? Yes,Katie,who? No-one you know.
Ooh,OK,I like this game.
Um,is it a man? Yes! Age? - Over A0? - Oh,stop it.
How about under S0? Katie? How much under S0? Are we talking months .
.
0r years? 0h,my God,you filthy,molesting sex bunny! The words'pot,kettle and black' spring to mind.
Which way are you swinging now? Ah,apparently that's complicated.
Oh,well,I am surprised.
Well? I don't know.
It might be one,it might be the other,or it might be both.
Which is why I've arranged a little experiment.
Give me that old-fashioned morphine Give me that old-fashioned morphine Give me that old-fashioned morphine I wasn't sure what to bring,so,um Simon,this is Stella.
Hi.
It was good enough for my grandpa It was good enough for my grandpa It's good enough for me.

- Right.
OK.
Say goodbye to Simon.
Sister,don't get worried Sister,don't get worried Sister,don't get worried Because the world is almost done.
You awake? Leave it.
No.
I've got to get up.
No.
- Trudi.
- Is he here? - What time is it? - Is he here? Yes,he's here.
What are you doing? What the hell are you doing,Katie? I won'tjust ignore the fact that you're ruining your life.
- Get in.
- No! I have to get them to school.
- Then do that.
- This is sick.
It is unworthy of you.
Sick? How dare you? Is this what this business with Paul and his other woman has done to you? This is nothing to do with Paul.
Isn't it? You come round here trying to tell me howto live my life.
You don't know how I'm feeling.
just like you had no idea how they were feeling.
What do you mean? Maybe they fell in love,Trudi.
OK,get in the car.
Hi.
Hi.
Thank you for last night.
No,thank you.
Perhaps next time it could be just the two of us? I don't know if you've noticed,but I'm.

I had spotted that.
Yeah.
I don't mind,you know.
Well,I do.
And it wouldn't be fair.

Yeah,I hope so.
I'm going to grab a toothbrush and a change of clothes.

Saddoes.

Thanks.
Could you pass me,the,um Thank you.

Do we have her affidavit? Yep.
- 0h,shit.

Dominic.
I know,I know.
I'm an idiot.
Ah.
It s OK.
It's five minutes from here.
Go on.
I'll see you there.
Actually,I'll come with you.
And she did something to me.
Notjust a physicalthing,although I felt it in a physical way.
Sounds good.
Yeah,it was.
- Tuna cucumber,please.
- OK.
So since then I've gone back to men,which is still good, and then I've had both men and women,which Well,that was both and good,but .
.
I don't know,not that thing.
I don't know where I can get that again.
I don't know what that was.
- Thank you.
- Thank you.
Thank you.
Thanks.
Your change.
So you really don't know what that was? No.
Interesting.
Tell me,what else was it like? Overwhelming.
Entirely.
But not in a bad way? No.
Like your body and emotions weren't different things any more? Yeah.
You're in love.
What did you just say? Make yourself at home.
Er Er Ah.
They're nice kids.
They're my sister's.
They're pretty cool.
As long as she takes them home at the end ofthe day.
Everyone says that.
I know.
I'm just not that bothered,you know.
Too many other things to do in life.
Did I say something I shouldn't have? No.
Ithink,um Ijust think we should get back.
Yeah,course.
I'm glad you called.
Well,I needed to ask you a few questions.
I'm sure.
Let me ask you something.
Do you still get that feeling that one night he'sjust going to walk in, sit down and eat his dinner? No closure.
I know what you're thinking.
'We're not the same,the mistress and I.
' You want to reassure yourself that what Paul and I had was nothing but a second-rate fling.
Actually,in one way,you're right.
I am second best,because do you know what you get that I don't? Legitimacy.
You get to tell the whole world all about it.
You get the flowers,the condolences,the recognition.
Me,my son OK,I think I understand that.
And I am sorry.
But I won't have you implying that what Cathy, Gina and I have been through is of any less significance.
He was my husband.
I know.
I'm not trying to say No,I think you are.
I think you want some kind of heartbreak contest.
That's not what I want.
Then what do you want? The money.
I know about the widows' fund, about your big fat cheque.
This is about money? He is Paul's son too.
But.
.
.
this is about money? ! Hey! It's easy to take that line when you have plenty.
You are nothing to me.
Nothing.
I don't want you near us.
- Do you hear me? - Yeah,I hear you.
But I'm not going anywhere.
All I want is what my son has coming to him.
You think about that.
You think about what's fair.
You can get the drinks.
Siobhan,I'm going to tell you again.
If you want to stay with Hari,you have to come clean.
What if it is his? 0h,come on! You two have been trying to have a baby now for years.
Along comes office boy and,bingo,you're pregnant.
Siobhan,this is Hari.
Which is why he is having his baby.
But it's not his baby.
There's a chance it's his.
There's a chance I'll cure cancer.
You told me.
Right here.
You said there was a possibility.
I was being kind.
There is a chance.
.
.
a doubt.
No,lawyer,it is lies and deception and you don't do that to someone you love.
Please,Katie.
That is why I'm doing it.
Katie? Yes.
Sorry.
I know.
I know.
Hi.
Hi.
CanI ? Yeah,course.
Come in.
Thanks.
I was going to call,actually.
Anyway,I found out what that woman wants.
And? Money.
A third for Paul's son.
If he is Paul's son.
Yeah,I know.
You know,hearing her,it made me think about what it's been like for you with john.
I don't know,maybe I could be more understanding.
No,no,no.
It's,um It's a difficult thing.
But what I wanted to say to you was that you're right about Sam.
I can't keep lying.
I really think it's the right thing to do.
So I'm going to tell him about me and john.
I mean,we can't be together, we can't properly be together unless he knows the truth.
What do you mean,'together'? Truth? I mean,that's only half the truth.
You can't tell him how his father died.
He makes me happy,Trudi.
I want this to work.
Katie,you're my friend and I love you,but this is a delusion.
Hi.
It's me.
I was wondering if you could come over.
Sam,hi.
It's me.
I'm outside.
Hi.
Come on,let's go home.
Before we go,I All this sneaking around is exciting and fun and everything,but But what? You want to go out,we'll go out.
Yeah.
I want to tell you something.
I'm falling in love with you.
Come on,let's go.
We're just going to have a look at your fallopian tubes and ovaries.
Where are you in your cycle? I'm not really sure.
Hey,come on.
You always know.
Where are you? About seven days,something like that? What is it? What's wrong? Everything's fine.
You're pregnant.
Are you sure? Yes.
Siobhan.
We're going to have a baby.
We've done it! I love you.
Thank you so much for looking after the girls today.
Is that why you wanted me to come over? No.
Um Why don't you go through? Sure.
I'm sorry.
It's OK.
No,it isn't.
I'm sorry,I don't think I can give you what you want right now.
Look,please Please try to understand,OK? It Paul was the bedrock of everything that I believed in.
I trusted him and now I know that was for nothing and I don't know what to trust.
I see.
Well,do you,really? Yes,you have no problem with me collecting your girls from school.
You trust me with the two most important things in your life, but not with you.
Not with your heart.
I'm sorry.
Well,don't be sorry.
See,this is what it's like.
You just either shut down or you're pestering me for sex.
Well,I'm sorry you felt pestered.
