Personal Affairs (2009) s01e04 Episode Script

Vital Statistix

This programme contains strong language We won't be having sex again.
How dare you! You go above my head and not talk to me first! You nearly screwed everything up.
All men want is to own you.
And as soon as they get what they want, they're gone.
Not every man is your father.
I think we've found Grace's mystery man.
He's tall with a good head of hair, wearing this Indiana Jones hat.
Adam is gone.
Now, you'll promise me you'll let this go.
That's her, that's your daughter.
How nauseous is this? At least it's not hanging on our floor.
Look at us all.
We were all so innocent, weren't we? So proper bloody pleased with ourselves.
Midge having her little celeb moment, me thinking I'm Mrs Going-Places, Nicole licking her lips after a tasty-looking millionaire Grace.
I've checked the guest list for tonight.
Jeeves ain't coming.
He was our only lead, we're stuffed.
We will figure a way to get to him.
Did you know that 56% of people who go missing end up dead, maimed or with some sort of lower-body paralysis? Thank God you're coming to the party, Sid.
You can tell jokes and make people feel good about themselves! I'm just saying.
Yes, and I'm just saying it's all going to work out.
We will find Grace, Midge gets to play Aladdin at Sunderland Empire and Lucy wins Businesswoman of the Year, receives her statuette with Bob and baby.
No Bob.
Sorry? We've split.
He was having an affair.
God! Who with? You split up?! Don't know.
You can't.
Why did you split up? He was having an affair, Nicole! But I thought It's fine.
I'll find her, I'll kill her, I'll kill him and then I'll take my revenge.
Oh, God.
I don't want to talk about it cos gold's through the roof and oil is looking very naughty so busy, busy, busy.
Grace is dead.
I can feel it in my bones.
21st-century life I got swept away Got 21,000 things That I gotta do today ♪ 21st century life.
♪ HE TAPS BRIEFCASE You're making guttural grunts and tapping your briefcase neurotically.
Sidney! Are you trying to seduce me? I'm pointing out how irritating you are.
Why on earth would I want to seduce you? Because You are my fuck bunny.
I told you, this is not happening again.
Where is that lift? Where is that lift? Now what is wrong with me saying that you are a cute, hot little goer with a fantastic bottom? Because I have a first-class degree in Philosophy and most people find me cold and unapproachable and LIFT BEEPS This is the last time I think you'll find this lift is taken.
Sid, you have a firm grasp on my private equity fund and that always fills me with instant relief.
Thank you.
Hey-ho! The future Mrs Palmer! Simon.
I got the engagement invite.
How you feeling about it all? Great.
Actually I've got one or two more immediate concerns - the Glenmorgan Group meeting, FSA briefing and Badenstein crisis meeting.
Wow, busy girl.
What you after? I'm just being nice.
Good luck with that Badenstein meeting, yah? Thanks.
You look a little shagged.
Once you get your breath back, I've worked out how to get Jeeves here and I need your help.
Just give Robbie a call and tell him you give good head.
What?! Just get him here quickly.
We have to move.
OK.
OK, girls, I got the email.
Now, I know it's only a joke but if you really want, I'll show you.
Where's Midge and Lucy? They're out.
Sorry, I didn't send an email.
Did you, Sid? Hmm? No.
No way.
Absolutely not.
Oh, well, while you're here chatting so nicely, Robert, Jane said could you call SorryJeeves, is it? Yeah.
Emergency developments re: Taiwanese bull markets? She wants high level meet here 11 o'clock.
OK? Yeah, OK.
Let me know when the others get back.
It must have been Midge.
Cheeky slag! MUSIC: "Love Is The Drug" by Kylie Minogue Would a nine-year-old like this? So this cowboy goes into a German car showroom, and he says "Audi!" It's a crap joke, it's the first one I could think of.
I've got a daughter.
HE LAUGHS NERVOUSLY Talya.
She was nine on Saturday, so technically I've got a nine-year-old daughter.
Just after we broke up, I went to a big party and I met this guy and he Well, the next thing, I was pregnant.
Who did this to you, then? Tell me who he is.
No, no, it wasn't like that.
I know.
Does she live with you, then, this Talya? God, no.
Mum made me have her adopted.
Avi, I've been so scared of telling you.
Why? Ahhh! Christ, what a clumsy bastard.
I am so sorry.
Some pushy git just shoved my elbow.
So crowded in here.
I'm OK.
Thank you.
Steamed nuts.
Ouch! Michelle Yeah? Andy Young.
He's gonna be popping in today to hear you sing before he jets off back to LA.
Who knows? There might be a little Midge-shaped space for you on his new TV talent show My God, Simon! You've made my day! My decade! My entire life! I totally love you! Come on, then, work to do.
Let's leave the man to deal with his damp parts in private, shall we? Actually, Simon, I just need an hour to talk about something private with Avi.
Can I? Why? What? I can't tell you, I'm sorry.
Fine, of course.
Of course.
Take an hour with Fine.
Thank you.
I'm just gonna Yeah, OK.
Andy! Yes.
Listen, little heads-up, I've got you a little bonus birthday treat.
I have a girl I'm gonna have come in and sing No, no, no.
No, she's she's actually my PA.
OK.
Well All right, bottom line, erm, she comes in and sings, you listen, act very impressed, pretend to offer her a deal and I get you a Learjet.
I thought you would.
Avi, would you mind So, er, at the party, you were 14? Not 13, were you? I knew it.
I so knew it.
That's why I didn't wanna tell you.
You think I'm a slapper.
I don't.
Then will you come with me to Talya's house? You can't just go and meet her! I'm not gonna meet her! She'll be at school, won't she? I just wanna go and apologise to Esther - that's her adopted mother.
I got hold of the phone number and I was phoning last nighta lot.
Midge, you want to go because you want to see your daughter! You are so wrong! I just wanna go and say sorry and then move on! You're opening a Pandora's box.
You're going to get hurt.
It would suit you, wouldn't it, if I had nothing to do with her? Then you can pretend she doesn't exist, pretend I'm still this pure and virginny thing like everyone else in your world! Midge, please wait! Look, you've just dropped this king-size bombshell on me, will you give me five minutes to sort it out?! I have managed all right without you for the past 10 years.
I can get through the next ten just fine.
Yeah? Well, me too! Oh, shit! I gotta get Iain six new Versace shirts for the party.
Six? The man is intending to dance.
The man sweats.
Oh, gross.
He'll have a heart attack and overheat the planet.
Bax, will you do me a little favour? As long as it's not complicated or emotional.
No, it's just a small trip and a tiny bit of closure.
Fine.
Can we get doughnuts, chocolate and heroin on the way? Oh, mate.
Nicole told me last night about the condom thing.
I Not talking about it! OK.
Hey, Bax, does a Pandora work in Derivatives? Rock? Look at all the little stars, Doris.
Oh.
Won't you join me? OK.
Where I grew up, the only thing to do at night was lie on your back, chew grass and stare up into the wide prairie lands of heaven.
No neon, Doris.
Of course.
Your new telescope arrives today.
Yeah, that's what set me thinking.
I've watched those night skies since I was a little boy.
I've searched through strings of galaxies but I never found another planet with intelligent life.
If only we could find another beautiful blue planet like ours.
Mmm.
If only.
MUSIC: Theme From "2001: A Space Odyssey" But I suspect we are all alone, Doris.
PHONE RINGS Maybe it's recession fear but I keep asking myself, "Is it time to give up searching?" PHONE STOPS RINGING Oops.
Oher, right.
So, er, take dictation please, Doris.
A letter in my advisory capacity to Davos World Economic Forum.
"Dear sir, in these uncertain times, "bio-fuels may not be the answer.
" OK? Right.
Er, you got all that? SHE RINGS DOORBELL I should never have agreed to this.
What?! Nothing.
Hello? Are you Esther Green? No.
She's out.
Who are you? We're financial advisors from Hartmann Payne and Actually, I think we've got the wrong address.
No, you are perfect timing.
I need some finance for car and mortgage for house.
We don't No, we do.
We do do that.
I'm Sophia Petrovna, VP, and this is my PA, Penny.
With a repayment mortgage, you're paying back the interest and the capital, or with an interest-only mortgage, you only pay the interest.
How do you spell that? Spell what? Please, could you write it down? Have you ever thought about hedge funds or commodities? And these are my taekwondo trophies.
And these are my swimming medals.
This is a really nice room, isn't it? It's really nice.
Thanks.
So what do you do? Er, you know I'm the boss at a finance company.
Yeah? Yeah.
Kind of.
I'm adopted.
Oh.
Yeah.
My real mum's in America.
She's in the amazing girl band called the Wild Horses and She's always on tour and in limos and on telly.
That's why she's too busy at the moment to come home.
You don't believe me, do you? It's a load of rubbish.
Of course it is.
To be honest, I think she may be dead but my mum doesn't wanna tell me because I'm only just nine and yada, yada, yada.
That's nice.
What, this? It's Here, have it.
Yeah, cos Here you go Oh, and I bought this for my niece's birthday but she's already got one, so Have it, why not? And look, look, my make-up bag, it's Clarins, you can have that.
I've got that, it's nice.
In fact, do you like my shoes? You can have my shoes if you want.
Hi, Mum.
This is Sophia.
Penny is telling me to reduce stock market exposure of my best assets Got any other financial worries just Thank you for your advice.
I know who you are.
Why did you do that? Why did you come here? I came to say sorry.
I didn't think she'd be in.
Say sorry about the phone calls and Go away.
Just go away and leave us alone.
Please.
Hey.
I've got Jeeves in a meeting room upstairs.
He's meant to be at Heathrow but he detoured for the emergency meeting.
Jane's not here and her phone is totally off.
And Jeeves only owns all the high-end VIP clubs in LA, London and Rio.
And to top it all, his three heavies in reception look like they're packing Uzis! Nicole! This man's going to rip my face off, Nicole.
I could handle him for you.
Behave yourself.
What do you know about Taiwanese stock and emerging markets? Diddly pop, but I've always been good with millionaires.
Shit! I am not looking good.
I am not looking good! Better than you would with your face ripped off.
I'll handle this guy for you.
Will you? Yeah, I will.
You know, the point is, the point is you're losing me money, right? This had better be bloody good because I'm supposed to be in Rio Hello, Daddy.
Nicole? My God, Nicole! Bingo! I saw you at your club yesterday and I thought, "Wow, there's my dad.
"Haven't seen him in years.
" Nice shirt, cool venue.
And I thought, "He's doing very well for himself.
" Unlike my mother.
You were my little girl until you were 12.
You're still my little girl, look.
Look.
It was your mother wanted the divorce.
It was your mother You had an affair! One affair! Yes, what was that? You were my girls, you were everything.
She pushed me out! You disappeared and took all the money! No No more school, no more car No more home.
Why did you do that, Daddy? I've found you now, Nic.
Well, there's the bill.
What you owe us for alimony and child support.
I will take you to court for that amount unless you give me some information regarding the whereabouts of Adam Hartmann.
Adam Hartmann? You're going to tell me where he is, or I'll see you in court.
Nicole, you don't blackmail me.
You are a little girl living out a ludicrous revenge fantasy and you will be laughed at by the first lawyer you talk to.
Get out! I wish it had been different.
Oh, come on, girls.
If Adam Hartmann worked here, one of us would have recognised him.
Midge certainly would have.
Are you sure Jeeves wasn't wrong? No.
He wasn't lying.
So he's working in his dad's company in disguise.
That's some false beard and glasses! Plastic surgery.
A total, total makeover.
Well, if it is plastic surgery, then It could be any of them.
It could be any of the men in this building.
So one of the men in this building is a kidnapper, maybe even a murderer, and he knows who we are and where we work, and he's watching us.
My God.
My God.
And if he was having an affair with Grace he's probably someone who knows her very well, so he's likely to be Oh, my God! Simon Turner? Simon's married to Evie Hartmann.
That's incest which, even for Simon Rock Van Gelder, Robbie Gascoigne Yep, this is it, definitely.
And I will certainly get to the bottom of this.
I will take very serious measures You are dead.
So dead.
Robbie! Yeah, I'm coming! Or Iain.
Don't be ridiculous.
No-one has thousands of pounds worth of plastic surgery to look like a slug.
So what do we do? Check for staple marks, bad Botox? The hat! The hat we found at Grace's Whoever the hat fits, that's our man.
Michelle, have you finished your errand? I need you.
Yeah, sorry, just coming.
Start the hunt.
You OK? Yeah, fine.
Coffee and a Danish, would you, please, Doris? Oh, er, Rock? I found this hat on my desk.
I was just wondering if it was yours? I'm a Texan, Doris.
I could never ride rodeo in a gangster hat.
OK.
Hi.
Hello(!) I did enjoy our meeting What meeting? Our recent high-level meeting about sticky acquisitions, wet mergers Oh, right, yes.
The one where you, um, dipped your quill into my .
.
rock-pool.
Rock-pool?! How do you come up with all that sticky, fucky bunny stuff anyway? I don't know, experience? You don't like it? It's fine, it's you're very accomplished at it.
Bless you.
It's just not me.
It really isn't me.
Look, what we had, it was it was Oh, award-winning! Mmm Think about it.
.
I just think I'm I'm searching for something else.
MUSIC: Theme from "2001: A Space Odyssey" Rock, there is another living planet! There is! Yes? It's called Gliese 581C.
It's an exoplanet right on the far cold edge of the constellation of Libra.
Rock, you're not alone! Gliese 581C , discovered April '07.
Red desert one side, dark cold nothingness the other.
Scientists claim it could sustain a microbe or two but I doubt it.
Certainly not fit for human habitation.
So not much hope there.
Who would Grace have gone for? Who would she fancy? That's what we've got to work out.
This is a total waste of time.
We're getting nowhere.
Adam had a thing with Grace, secretly, maybe for many years and then he Well, he turned on her.
Yeah, maybe Grace met someone and Adam found them together and so And so he cut her into very small pieces and removed her from the building bit by bit.
Sorry.
I feel a bit bleak.
Shit, hide me.
So I just wanted to say a very sincere thank you to Nicole, who tried so hard to fuck me over, and instead, secured me a nomination as PA of the Month in Best Investor.
Really? How so, twat-face? Well, arse-breath, Jeeves told Jane he was thoroughly impressed with the ruthless ambition and high-risk, high-reward approach of her PA.
Get this, he said she - oh, what was it again? Oh, yeah, "Lacked humanity.
" Ouch! But, let's face it, you gonna tell Jane that it was you and not me? Cos if you do, darlin', I might have to use my intimate knowledge of this office's, er, how shall we say, "romantic" habits.
Tell me, if you have such an in-depth knowledge of this office, who was Grace having an affair with? If only you knew! But you don't! You thought you were all such big buddies, and yet I know something about her love life that would make your little jaws drop to the floor.
He doesn't know.
Oh, I think he does.
But for once he's Mr Discretion, Mr Psst, Mr Shhh, Mr Shtoom Robbie, stop pissing about.
This is so not funny.
Well Whatever.
Gotta go, girls, my adoring boss is taking me out for a celebratory lunch.
Jane's taking you out? Right, well, we'll see you in ten with a Pret baguette and a take-out coffee.
HE FEIGNS LAUGHTER Hey, Roberto - you forgot your hat.
Fuck off.
Freddy Kruger probably left it round Sid's.
He knows something.
Come on, we've got ten minutes to search his office.
Dad! I've been looking for you, love.
We need to talk.
Excuse us, Nicole.
I got to be quick, Dad.
We're on a mission here.
You promised me you'd never go back there.
How could you do that, Midge? How could I not do that?! You give her away like a crap Christmas present! You kept her a secret! How could you do that?! We didn't, Michelle.
You did! That's what you did! But she's mine! She's mine, Dad.
I'm so sorry, love.
A child isn't a possession, you know that, Midgy.
I know that, Dad.
But surely she needs to know I'm not dead, doesn't she? Surely she needs me? I know how hard this is to hear, love.
Talya is happy and secure and doing very well.
That's what I wanted you to see.
Look, please never tell your mother this but Esther allows me to see Talya twice a year.
So I know I know what I'm talking about.
But now, since you went to the house Oh, God! I shouldn't have gone! I should never have shown you where she lived.
I'm a stupid old git.
Dad, I don't wanna sing What you talking about? Course you're gonna sing.
This is what you've been dreaming of.
Hey, goth girl, wait.
I don't think I've ever felt close to anyone my whole life.
What about Lucy? She's anyone, isn't she? Right.
I'll have a look, you stay there.
If he turns up, get me out of here.
MOBILE PHONE RINGS Yeah? IN FAKE ACCENT: Robbie Gaston? Gascoigne, yeah.
Press and Marketing here.
Best Investor have been onto us about some pictures.
For what, PA of the Month? Absolutely, yes.
Yeah, OK.
What, now? Yeah, yeah, yeah, 75th floor.
All right, I'm there, man Miss.
Fuck it - ten-second rule! MIDGE: I'm gonna be a bit late for our party.
Andy Young wants to hear me sing! Do you really think I can do it? Course you can.
You're the best, babe.
Total dynamite.
Don't forget it.
You opening a new Tesco's or something? She looks a million dollars, doesn't she? Hit top C, songbird.
SHE SINGS HIGH NOTE Mmm.
Multi-platinum.
From Robbie's top drawer.
OK.
Here we go.
Pity the poor tart he's shagging.
Fast forward, please.
Yes, please fast forward, this.
I don't know I want to see it Oh, my God.
Bastard! Turn it off! Turn it off, Nicole! Sorry! Nice knickers.
Don't worry, Midge, it can't be you again.
Oh, God! Oh, shit! Stop it! One more! Robbie seemed to have the box set.
It's all so energetic, Midge.
All I can manage at lunchtime is a little sushi.
Please don't.
I think I'm gonna kill myself.
There she is! There's Grace.
Jane? Get out of the way, Jane! They are totally kissing! Oh! That's my best girl-on-girl, you thieving cow! What was that for? What are you doing? Are you watching television? It's Bargain Hunt.
Do you know the Badenstein account's just fallen through and you think it's OK to just sit around and watch television? Jane, I'm really sorry And where the fuck is Grace? What is it you need from her? I don't need anything from her.
Can't you see that without her this whole place is collapsing? Shit! If she lost the account, this is a disaster.
She's been psycho stressed all week as it is.
And now we know why.
Gonna ring Richie.
Hey, mate, it's me.
'I don't understand why Jane's marrying Dr Shag' if she's with Grace? I mean, yeah, OK, a bit of lesbianism, it's the 21st century, but Jane?! Who'd wanna snog the face off that?! So Grace was a drug-taking, gay, bisexual illegal immigrant? We didn't know her.
At all.
She had secrets, so what? Now we know why Adam went ape-shit.
But why didn't she tell us? Maybe she didn't trust us.
Maybe she felt she had to work things out on her own.
Well, that's just stupid.
Why? Why is that stupid? It's stupid to you - you've so much love in your life, you don't even know it's there.
You've got Daddy to cry on when things get rough.
You have got so much love, but, oh, my God, you want more! You want the whole of America to love you! Nicole! Sometimes you have to do without people's love .
.
even when you really, really want it.

It's great what you did for Midge.
You know, Andy Young.
It is great, isn't it? She seriously needed it.
This whole Talya stuff's been such a head-fuck.
She did tell you about her? Yeah.
Me and Midge don't have any secrets.
I mean, it would be horrendous enough seeing your nine-year-old daughter for the first time in the flesh, but the fact that Adam Hartmann is the father It's insane, isn't it? Hi.
Erm We saw you come through here, Mum and me.
She's gone to find her friend, Mr Lerner, and she said I should bring you back your stuff.
No.
I mean, it's cool, but please don't give it back.
That was Andy Young you were singing in front of, wasn't it? Yeah.
Well, what did he say? Well, he's offered me a place on his American TV talent show Going next week.
No! For real?! Well, why are you sad? Because I don't know whether I want to go any more.
You're nuts! Why? You think I should go? Well, you're not that big executive type millionaire lady that you said you are, are you? You're a secretary, aren't you? So what are you waiting for?! It's me.
You call me the minute you get this.
Oh, thank you.
LOW CONVERSATION Hey.
Hey! What are you doing here? Robbie said you had a lousy day, so I thought you could do with some TLC.
That boy is worse than my mother! Ouch! No, you're right.
No-one's worse than my mother! Look, honestly, I'm fine.
I know how much you hate these things - go! Then come with me.
Bridges Of Madison County is ready to play, and the sushi's ready to collect.
You know I have to stay.
Then so have I.
Do you know? I have never loved any man as much as I love you.
What's the difference between a water biscuit and a lesbian? One's a snack cracker, and the other Richard! I'm Sid, we've never properly met.
Jane and I were at uni together.
Oh, right.
Well, if you'll excuse me, I need to go and talk to my boss about his telescope.
Rock, I don't want you to give up hope.
No, Doris, I won't.
Look, maybe I'm cold and dead on the outside, and hot and fast and gaseous on the inside, but, you know, no-one's perfect.
Not even Grace.
And you're not exactly normal yourself.
So, you know But that's OK, cos weird is cool.
It is? What I'm trying to say is is We are two lonely planets orbiting in this absurd universe.
But maybe if wegot together We could make the music of the spheres.
Yeah, that's a that's a metaphor, Doris, right? Yeah, it's good.

You got photos? Er Yeah, I've got some in my desk.
Great! Do you want us to come with you, babe? No, I'm OK.
I think I'm fine.
Hiya.

Well, I've got some paracetamol.
OK.
Midge? Yeah? Erm There is something I need to say.
You've got my hat.
That's your hat? Yeah.
I thought I left it at a friend's apartment.
Stupid gift from Evie and the kids.
Looks better on you.
Erm Listen, Midge I need to confess something Darling.
Daddy won't like it if I tell him you were making a pass at your secretary, while I was at the party looking like a spare tit.
