Mistresses (2008) s02e05 Episode Script
Season 2, Episode 5
Natalie has Alzheimer's.
Early on-set.
It's over.
Don't come to my house, don't call me, don't touch me.
His wife's team had you followed.
We're trying for another baby.
Nothing's happening so we're frustrated.
I saw you with her! What? I can't keep up with you.
Haven't you had enough of me? Not even close.
What's her name? Amy.
I had a little girl.
She remembers being a mum.
I won't steal Natalie's life you have to move out.
Hi, Katie.
It's kind of a party for two.
Har? I did my best to forgive you even though you ripped my heart out.
There's nothing left to pretend for now.
'Hi, This is Hari.
I can't take your call at the moment.
' Hari, please, where are you? Please let me know you're ok.
I'm going to be there today, for our appointment.
I just need you to know I'll be there.
Mark? Are you sure about this, hmm? Just you and me? No girls for you, no boys for me.
How hard can it be, huh? Besides, you should see the woman I married.
Morning! Who's for coffee? You know, I'm so busy looking after Mark that sometimes I forget about you.
Time for a change.
You bet.
When are you gonna tell her? Soon, I will.
I just have a lot of deals in place at the moment and with the market the way it is I need continuity so I want her gone by the end of the week.
All right? Hey, Siobhan.
500 years ago, it took a man outside of medicine to tell us what the heart really was that it wasn't just some romantic cell within the body where love and hope were stored, though some days it can feel like that.
And Da Vinci went against everyone to prove it.
The Church forbade his research, the academics condemned his theories but he continued to look beyond what everybody expected him to see.
So, is he going to take it? The research post.
They announced it this morning, he's been selected for Sydney.
And that is why every one of you as you He didn't tell you? Must strive each day and with every surgical procedure to question what you see.
Assume nothing until you know it.
And then question it again.
Thank you.
Now it's Auntie Jess coming.
Be a good girl for her, won't you? Hey.
Hey.
What's the matter? Love, I really appreciate this, I just need a couple of hours, all right? Where's Hari? Siobhan, what is it? Love, I just really need to be somewhere, all right? Ok, go.
We'll talk later, yeah? Yeah, all right.
I've told the girls that you'll be away for a few days for work.
I think that's best until we sort out something more permanent.
I sound like a false tooth.
You know that Amy can stay for as long as it takes for you to find I want this to be as easy on the girls as it can be.
Trudi, you know I'd do anything to change what's happened.
But you can't.
And I can't change the fact that I think of us and I see Natalie in that room with nothing.
I think it would be good if you took the girls to school today.
Look, I applied for it so long ago I can hardly remember the details.
It really wasn't up to Jack to tell you.
But you must have some idea, is it a sabbatical, can you come back? What is it, twelve months, six months? It's a twelve month placement with a possible extension.
Oh! I don't get you, Dan.
I don't get what we've been doing.
I haven't said yes.
Two months ago no hesitation.
You didn't even mention it, I mean it wasn't even a possibility, you don't just apply for a job on the other side of the world and then forget about it.
Well, maybe I wanted to.
I'm sorry.
This is amazing, it's amazing.
It's research, it's what you've always wanted.
I know but, um, things are different now.
I know but you might never get that opportunity again.
I might never get this opportunity again.
Would you prefer to reschedule? If I could just talk to him and tell him why.
Do you think that would change things? I don't know, but it would be where we could start.
I don't know if it was depression.
I know I felt incredibly alone incredibly isolated from you.
Well, I was there! Trying to rebuild our marriage.
I didn't know how to ask you to be with me.
I knew that was hard for you after Dominic.
So you did it again? Siobhan, did you feel that in you were in control of your behaviour or was it compulsive? I thought that what I was doing would help us.
I though that if I got what I needed from them, these men that I didn't even care about that I'd save what we had, that I wouldn't lose your love.
You screwed other men in hotel rooms while you told me you were working late or you were driving.
You did that to save our marriage? Hari, please don't make it sound like that.
It is that way.
I know you're right.
But I've stopped.
I've stopped.
It's over.
Because I saw the pictures? Because I'm not that person any more.
I don't recognise her or how I got to be her.
You're sick, Siobhan.
You need help.
I need you.
Oh, ok.
Darling, coming Elsa, hang on! Hi! I hear Siobhan's not at work today, is she in? No, she's out.
Hang on.
Who did you say you were again? Tom McCormack.
Is she ill? Her office didn't sound sure when she'd be back.
Really? Well surely as her nanny you'd know? I'm her friend.
She doesn't have a nanny.
She's got Hari.
And where's he? I'll say that you came by, all right? Please do.
Dominic, can I have a word, yeah? I was going to, um, I was going to call you about what I said yesterday.
I realise it's not my place.
to break it up? What? How does it work? I screw you and that's fine, anyone else and you think you have the right to tell Hari? What are you talking about? I barely even speak to Hari.
You didn't have to! You just sent the photos.
I wouldn't show those to anyone.
Well, you were the only one that had them.
And I kept them.
If Duggan saw them, you'd be struck off.
Well, show me.
Dominic, I'm so sorry But then how did Hari get these? The same way I did, from a team of lawyers using every trick in the book to wreck our case.
Ouch, what did they do? Hey! Hey, what is it? I'm fine.
Trudi, you're not fine.
Richard and me, we ah we broke up.
I'm fine.
It's all right, ok, ok.
Siobhan? Hey.
They're beautiful.
They're not from me, they're from your friend Tom McCormack.
He came here? Yeah, he walked in like he owned the place, who is he? Hey.
Come on now.
What is this? He's left me, Jess.
Hari's gone.
What? Why, you two worked this out? Why do you think? Oh, Siobhan, not him.
Please tell me you haven't lost Hari for him.
It's like having a beautiful dress and then you find out that some kid in a sweat shop has made it and you realise the dress isn't beautiful any more.
That doesn't make you guilty.
You didn't know about Natalie.
Yeah, but I do now.
I don't want to see you sad.
No, I've done the right thing.
You can't mend the world you know, Trudi.
Yeah, well, I need to try.
Give me that.
You're so busy being good to everyone else, you don't even think about what you want.
Your happiness.
Am I making it worse? No.
You're making it better.
This isn't a good idea.
Oh, look I Trudi, please! Don't take this the wrong way.
Yeah, vanilla essence, we're out of it.
I'm gonna go and get some.
Are you ok with those? It's 35 minutes at gas mark five.
So you want us to launch a porn mag? It's erotica, it's practically art.
Well, at least this one has words.
The organ we're aiming for is the brain.
This isn't for the top shelf or the dirty macs.
We've got some of the best writers in the country working for us.
So the launch is tomorrow and there's no budget? You're spoiling us.
Henrietta was let down at the last minute.
Look, I'll tell you what, I'll name check you in my next book product place the company.
Always wanted to be in that kind of book.
Oh, misery manuals.
Personal development guides.
Um, getting the seat down, mind the gap between the sexes.
And my latest Make Him Think Like You Do.
I unlock men's minds so that women can finally understand them.
You're a guycologist.
Sydney? Mmm.
It's so far away.
I know.
It's just not fair, Katie.
It's not though, is it? I've spent so long avoiding commitment.
Now commitment's avoiding me.
I'm sure I'm supposed to be learning some sort of profound lesson.
That's called asking him to stay.
Just tell him.
I can't.
I mean it would just be so utterly selfish.
I can't do that to him.
This is a chance that he needs to take.
No, you told me to pull in some favours and that's what I'm doing.
We gave you so much publicity on that photoshoot, you really owe me.
Tomorrow, great.
Thank you, bye.
I am making dinner.
Great, I'm starving.
I have got one hell of a job, we're supposed to be launching this tomorrow night, right? I've sorted the venue but I've got no caterers, no goodie bags, nothing.
So if you can think of any way I can feed a bunch of erotica experts, then please.
Help me out.
Let them eat cake? It's cheaper than canapes and I know a pretty good caterer.
That's gonna be like some sort of weird twisted tea party.
Trudi that is genius.
Do you think you can do it for tomorrow? Why not? Yes! Do some cakes yeah, like little cupcakes.
Ok.
Hey! Hey.
Hey, how are you holding up? Siobhan, I can't believe you've been going through all this, and not talked to us.
I just didn't know what you'd think of me.
You're my friend.
That goes before everything.
I know.
How can you bear the house without Richard? I have to.
It just seems so empty without Hari.
You don't know it's over, Siobhan.
Give him time.
You didn't see the way he looked at me.
Now I've lost him.
And what scares me is I don't know what to do.
I've been with him so long I just don't know who I am without him.
Well you know that whatever happens you've got us.
And little Elsa.
Oh, my God, didn't we all have husbands and boyfriends not so long ago? Yeah, Jessica's the stable one.
I mean, that's just wrong! That's just weird.
Quite novel though.
Not to me.
Well, it is to me.
Oi! Mark? Hello? Oh.
Hey.
Someone had a good night? Oh, yeah.
I had a couple of drinks with the boys.
Oh.
Just the boys, girls too? There were girls, yeah.
There was, um, a Ellie, Ellie, yeah and Madeleine and then there were also the twins Sophie and Tess.
Great.
Really gave exclusivity a shot then? Yeah, you're a real passion killer, Jess.
You know, every time I started to talk about my beautiful, clever, talented, gorgeous wife, they just didn't want to know any more.
Now, turn you head that way.
What? Turn your head that way do as you're told.
Couldn't sleep.
Counting sheep didn't work? No, allergic to fleece.
Ooh, you're gonna struggle in Australia, there's loads of sheep there.
Katie, I can't not take the job.
I know, I know, you would be insane not to.
Can I come in or do I have to spend all night on the doorstep? Come in.
Might as well make the most of the time we've got left, eh? Come with me.
What? Come with me.
I can't just go, I can't just leave everything.
I love you.
Can't live without you.
I, um, I've booked you both dinner at Le Sauvage for tomorrow night.
It was hard to get a table but I swung it.
Thanks.
I'll be in touch about a reference, Mark.
Sure.
Am I hallucinating or are you really going? Isn't it tragic that you need to clip his wings to stop him flying away? What? Don't blame the bird.
Blame the cage.
Um, I've just got her to sleep.
Thank you for looking after her.
I'll always look after her, she's my daughter.
So Duggan took you back? Yeah, I need to work, you know.
Hari? Could could we try and talk? No, Siobhan.
I heard everything yesterday.
Let me know what time you'll be back, I work around it.
Morning.
Morning.
So you slept on it? No, I'm going to need more than a few hours to decide something like this.
Ok.
I can wait.
I mean there's my job which I love, which I'm really good at.
I can't just walk away from it.
And then there's my friends and my family, what am I supposed to tell them? But, you were going to resign from it.
Oh! That, yeah.
I was just having a really bad day.
I just freaked out, you know, a moment of madness.
What kind of bad day? Oh, you know, just being new and out of my depth.
And you didn't think to tell me about it? No.
I was going through my independent phase.
Anyway, I took it back.
I had a better day and then a better day.
You know what I'm like, I make decisions I regret and I don't want to do that with this, so please.
Just give me time.
Ok.
Hi.
Hey.
Interesting reading.
Oh, um, it's, it's for a launch.
I'm doing the catering.
Those girls in the WI again? Sorry, um.
I know I'm supposed to be giving you space but I really want to see Amy.
Is that ok with you? Of course it is.
I don't want you not to see her.
No I know, it's just that we've said I'm away.
Yeah, I need to explain why you're not at home.
I miss her.
And the girls and you.
Richard Sorry, sorry, I shouldn't have said that.
Trudi, I don't want Amy to look at me the way you did when you found out about Natalie.
I need to tell her, to salvage something good out of this mess I've made.
I thought I'd tell her tomorrow.
Take her out for the day, I'm gonna clear it with the school.
I think that would be good.
Thanks.
But that's the kind of things that happen, isn't it? Katie! Hey! Hello, you talked him out of it? No, not quite.
Oh, I can't turn it down, Megan.
I know, I have to be unselfish we all do.
Good for you, mate, at least you're going to a country with a decent cricket team.
No, I've, um, I've asked Katie to come with me.
No! This is all wrong.
Katie's the lure to get you back, we can't lose both of you.
Oh, God, that's a massive decision.
I haven't made a decision yet and Dan is employing underhand tactics which I would like him to stop.
Oh God! Well, you take your time.
You've got to do what's best for you, for your career.
Thanks, pal.
See you later.
See you later.
Morning.
Dominic, I'm sorry about yesterday.
You're the last person I should have doubted.
I'm still trying to understand why you did.
I've no excuse, I'm just all over the place at the moment.
I don't know who to trust.
You can trust me.
McCormack's wife is going to be here in 15 minutes.
With the lawyers that had you photographed.
They're gonna go after him.
Which means going after you too.
I'm not going to see this man destroy your career, Siobhan.
But I need to know from you that it's over.
It's over.
It's over! So you weren't going to tell me? I haven't even had a chance to get my thoughts together yet.
Well, I think you should go.
It's as much of an opportunity for you as it is for him.
Much as it pains me to say it.
So you want me to go, you actually want this to work for me? What I don't want is for us to end up like this you suspicious of me.
I thought about what you said.
I didn't realise I was being so selfish.
I only want what's best for you.
I accept now that's not me.
Listen, I've got to go.
Are you seeing Dan tonight? Um, no.
It's his cricket night.
Maybe we could meet up later.
Oh Jack, I don't, I don't As friends, Katie, that's all.
As friends who don't know when they've next got the chance to be friends.
Is that so wrong? No, I suppose not.
Trudi, are you ok? Hi! Trudi? Oh, ah, double D cupcakes, try one.
Trudi? About yesterday, I was trying to do the right thing.
You'd just broken up with Richard.
Yeah, which is my excuse for acting like a loon.
I want to apologise and assure you that it won't happen again.
I will stay firmly on my side of the kitchen.
You are completely safe with me.
I don't want to be safe, I just want you to be sure.
No, no, stop it.
You're just trying to be nice.
Trying to make be feel not quite so absolutely terrible.
Well, ah, I do appreciate it.
Now, have a cupcake and erase it from your brain.
Did you like them? The flowers.
I threw them away.
They've cancelled.
They just can't cancel.
What reason? Tactics.
They assume correctly that they're in the stronger position.
A stronger position? How? There are photographs taken by a team of private investigators.
Chard Investigations, we assume working for your wife's lawyers.
They have pictures that support your wife's claim that you were unfaithful during your marriage.
These pictures also show you with Siobhan.
I see.
The case is entirely compromised, you'll have to give in to their demands.
I won't be blackmailed.
Tom? Do you not understand what this means? They'll use those photos.
They'll ruin your reputation and destroy my career.
I'm sorry you got dragged into this but I will not concede.
photos to my husband.
I'm fighting to save my marriage here.
Are you? Because I don't think you give a damn about anybody else here.
I can't give up on every principle I hold.
I don't judge others and I don't expect to be judged in return.
My only regret is that you've come under the same scrutiny.
If you really regret it, give your wife what she wants.
Oh, Dan, I'm gonna go.
Me too.
Oh, wait, wait, wait.
Do you fancy watching me bat? I've got to go and see Trudi.
I thought you saw Trudi last night? What, am I on a quota? No, no, no.
She's just having a really hard time.
Ok, then can I see you after? I don't really wanna be on any time limits.
Oh, ok.
No, actually, I can cancel.
No.
You go, you go.
Be a good friend.
Ok.
I'll drag Jack out for a beer.
Um, score one for me.
You have so much to learn.
Bye.
Bye.
Hey.
Everything's done.
have a tea or a drink or something.
I've got to go, I've got to get things sorted.
If you need somewhere to stay, stay here.
What with you? Well if it's easier, I'll rent somewhere for Elsa and me.
This is your home as much as mine, Hari.
You might as well know now, I need to sort the house, who stays, how it gets divided.
I want a divorce.
No, Hari, no.
No.
You can forgive.
I know you can.
I'm not saying now, or in a year, but I know you can.
Siobhan, you, all the lies, this marriage, I want them over.
Aah, can I get a I'll just have a beer, thank you.
Dan, hi.
Hi.
Everything ok? Yeah, yeah, yeah, fine.
Is Katie here yet? I just wanted a quick word.
She is coming round tonight, right? Oh yeah, she phoned, she's stuck in traffic.
Ok, um, you look like you're going out.
I am, I mean we are.
Look, should I give her a message? Um, no, no, no, no.
No message, it's fine.
Ok.
Thanks.
Bye-bye.
Ok, keep it moving guys, come on.
The guests are going to be here any minute.
I need a magazine on every table.
Simon, these look great.
Make sure everybody gets one.
Don't touch the merchandise.
Yep, agreed.
Hey, how's it going? Good.
Have you seen Trudi? She's around somewhere.
Stunning.
You and the cakes, thank you.
Wow! Jessica! I mean, Simon said you were good but this is even beyond my expectations.
I did it to tap your powers.
So you read my book then? Yeah, I'll admit it I'm a convert.
So um, so you would say there's not one question you can't answer about men? Why, do you have a question? No, a friend of mine has a question.
Well, I'd be delighted to help your friend.
So, she and her husband they have pretty much been free spirits until now, but they reached a point where they want to be one spirit and I mean I'm fine with that, I'm finding it really easy and I Oops! You know, there's no crime in needing support through a relationship.
You wouldn't go on a round the world No, ok.
So? So Mark, that's my husband, um, I don't know if he's finding it easy and if he's not then I don't know why! Do you know what the most powerful word in the world is? Chanel.
Change.
It's a word that runs through all my books.
We, women, we, have the power to transform our lives and the lives of our men.
How to make them think like we do.
Your husband, he just needs some time and your belief that he CAN change.
It's all in the book, Jessica.
Hello.
So this is the case study, is it? Yeah, Mark.
This is Henrietta.
She's looking for some material for her new book and you may just be it.
Jess! Can I have a word please? Hello, Henrietta.
I can see you doing well out there, great quality of life, good money.
But I think there's so much here for you as well.
You've only just started.
Hmm, that's a thought that's been going through my head too.
Well, maybe you should listen to that thought.
Your instincts have always been exceptional.
Sometimes.
If there was no Megan.
What? If it was just me or Dan, no other complications, would you be with me? Have you asked me here for this? I'm sorry.
I'm trying, Katie, it's just that I can see you having the life that we planned but you're having it with him.
You've had the life that we planned Jack.
You've been having it for the last 15 years.
It is the way it is.
Maybe it's the way it should be.
Maybe we have both ended up with the live that we should have.
They are good lives, with people we love.
So you love him then? Yes! Yes, I love him.
And if you want a comparison, Jack.
However much I loved you once, I'm gonna go with him, so there.
That's an end to it.
Trudi, um, I may be younger than you but I'm not some dreamy juvenile, ok? And you can pretend all you want that I'm just going through some crush but I know how I feel.
I want you.
Are you ok? Lucas, I'm, I'm just a mum.
I do the school run, I see my friends, I bake cakes.
I mean, I don't have adventures.
Do you want to? I mean, do you want something else, Trudi? It doesn't matter what I want.
my girls, I mean they have lost so much.
And now with Amy and Richard, them everything else.
It doesn't mean you can't be good for you.
You can be the woman in the killer heels.
It doesn't take away all the other parts of you.
You can be anything you want to be.
I can't.
Truds? Yeah? I want you to meet Henrietta.
This is the lady I was telling you about, Trudi.
So, abandoned housewife.
Self-made businesswoman.
You know, you'd be a fantastic story for the magazine the naked baker.
You could make the ingredients for reinvention.
What do you say? Um, I don't think I want to be reinvented.
Maybe I like the old me.
What you're doing, you're business, being here tonight.
It just screams brand new you.
No? Um, I'm sorry, I don't mean to be rude but you don't know me.
No, but I know women and I know change.
Call me.
Have you seen Lucas? Ah, I think I saw him leave.
Trudi? Loving the nipples by the way.
Trudi.
I looked for you but you weren't there.
I wanna be someone new.
I wanna be the woman in the killer heels.
Aaah, we made it.
I know.
These evenings are such a marathon.
I didn't expect it to be so tough.
And I appreciate it.
You did it for me.
I want you to be happy.
I didn't take one number, I didn't give mine, I barely flirted.
So you wanted to bang those girls tonight? But I didn't.
Yeah, but you wanted to.
I'm trying, Jess, I really am.
Is just me and you such an effort for you? Is her face ok? It's make up.
Maybe she was out with dad.
Mum? Yeah Do me and Gina have to go to school today? It's from Lucas.
He says "amazing" What?! Ok, ok, thank you.
Now scram! Go and get your breakfast.
Hey, Dan! 32 degrees in Sydney today.
You are getting a house with a pool, aren't you? I mean, struggling, you know, like I said it's been tough for her.
She seemed fine.
Oh, she didn't tell you I'd called round? You were stuck in traffic.
Yeah, I, um, I had to get some petrol.
So, um, why did she spend all evening calling you? You left it here.
I though you might need it, so I called round.
She's not an accomplished liar.
Look, Dan are you telling lies for a good reason or a bad one? Last night last night I needed some time for myself.
I needed to work things out in my head.
Right, well, I can handle that, you could have told me that.
I know, I don't know why I didn't.
But listen, Dan, none of that matters now.
I dunno, feels like it does.
Look, Katie, I don't know where I so I can only draw my own conclusions.
Shut up! I'm coming with you.
What did you say? I said, I'm coming with you.
No way! Yeah.
No way! Are you excited? Yeah! Come on, let's get a coffee.
Ok! I'll get it! Dad.
Ok Amy Thanks.
D'you wanna wait in the car? Ok.
Are you all right? Dreading it.
Do you want me to come? No, no.
I have to do this myself.
Ok, you just have to be honest with her.
Richard, I'm proud of you.
Thanks.
Oh, girls, come on, we've got five minutes! No no, no, no, no, no! Shit.
Morning.
Good morning.
Oh, Dominic, hey.
Are you all right? Hari wants a divorce.
I'm sorry.
I've no right to expect him to want anything else.
Do you know, I use that word every day.
Divorce.
And it's never sounded so horribly final.
Is there anything I can do? Revise history.
I would have to make one exception.
Are you around tonight? I'll come over, help with Elsa cook you a mean steak sandwich.
I'm off bread.
Steak salad? No.
It's sweet, You know what I mean.
I appreciate it, it's just I'm the worst company in the world at the moment.
Oh, that's fine, I'll bring some DVD's, we don't need to talk at all.
But I do think it's important you eat.
And let your friends take care of you.
I rest my case.
You know you can't change.
And you shouldn't have to.
You fight your nature and you destroy what makes you who you are.
And you're special, you really are.
Oh, shoot! Get out! Jess, we were just Yeah, I know I saw.
Jessica, insisting on change can be damaging to both of you.
There's me thinking change is good.
Sometimes You charlatan! After everything I've done for you, you come to my house and you do this! It was nothing Get out! Hey, darling.
Are you ok? Yeah.
Here, let me take this for you.
The girls are in the garden if you want.
Ok, yeah.
Bye, Dad.
Bye.
Come in.
How'd it go? It went well.
She still loves me.
Sorry, I didn't mean that you should.
I've found a place.
What, already? I can't put it off, can I? Is it a bit small? Jess, this is crazy, you can't run out on me.
What's got into you? Such a good question.
Nothing really happened! But it would have done, Mark.
This is the thing, you can't change, can you? I can! Look, I have! You wanted Carrie gone, I did it.
I'm doing this for you so gimme a break if I don't hit the ground I want you to do it because you want to, not cos I've got you in some 12 step programme or cos I've put you in a cage.
Don't you get it, Mark, I love you! Jess Oh, don't do that.
I don't want to have to beg you to love me.
I can, Mark, because you make me feel like I'm not enough for you and you know what's really funny is you were enough for me.
McCormack just called.
Yeah? He's prepared to settle.
He wants us to find out what the wife's team is after and make it go away.
Really? He knows he won't win.
Either that or he's certainly discovered something resembling a conscience.
Shall we go? Um, I think I should get on to them straight away, find out what the demands are.
It's all right, we'll do it in the morning.
I'd prefer to get it done now.
Ok.
Making me brave.
For the first time in years I can look at myself No secrets, no awful lie I'm terrified is gonna come out.
I didn't realise how good that would feel.
Sorry, that probably sounded terribly insensitive.
It did.
Irony is, you're why I told the lies.
You're what I was trying to protect and I lost you anyway.
Have I lost you for good? Oh! Um, Hi Lucas.
Sorry.
Come in.
Siobhan? I wasn't expecting you.
I have your wife's terms of the settlement.
Shall we? Come in.
Tell me this isn't the only reason you're here? It's the only reason I'm here.
It doesn't feel daunting.
It doesn't feel like we're going away, does it? It just feels right.
Which is completely at odds with my natural state.
Thank you.
I'm so pleased for you, we both are.
It's still a bloody long way away though, isn't it? Come visit, have a holiday.
I hate flying! Well, I don't! You better start making an effort.
Would you have gone without Katie? You'd already accepted.
Only to put the screws on you.
Well, I'd like to take some credit for all of this.
As it was my dinner party that got you two hooked up.
Yeah, but it was me who invited Dan so I think a lot of the credit goes to me.
Well, thank you, Jack.
We owe you a lot.
Now, before I embrace my healthy new lifestyle, I have to say goodbye to my old one.
Oh, thank you.
Are you going to take a look at this properly? Not just now.
But you are on board with the demands? Don't worry, please.
I want an end to this just as much as you do.
I'm glad you came, because I've been wanting to apologise for the things I've done.
Getting your number, becoming your client, coming to your house.
I mean, that was wrong.
And I'm sorry.
Well, I hardly behaved impeccably myself.
So Um, we should get back to this.
Please! Don't worry about the case.
But the photos.
They'll go away, I promise.
Well, how can you be so sure? It's something outside your control.
They will stop at nothing.
Trust me.
Shouldn't you answer that? I don't want to waste the precious time I have with you.
No, answer it.
I'll keep.
Hello? Yes, this is him.
Yeah, tell her I'll take the call.
Oh, yeah.
No, we haven't spoken for a while now.
Well, look I have to go now.
And, I really do have to go now.
So, you're really gonna quit? You know, I'm really happy for you, I don't think I know a better man than Dan.
Thank you.
I do love Megan.
I just wish it was a little easier to let you go.
You'll get there.
We have been very, very lucky.
We only hurt ourselves.
C'mon, let's go.
They'll be waiting.
Goodbye, my love.
D'you think he'll tell Megan? How the hell should I know.
Can I ask, Lucas is that 'No, it's not anything important.
' Morning.
I never thought I wanted to be a dad.
You're not gonna be a dad.
Will you come with me for a minute? Hari, we would be going to war.
Do you know what you're letting yourself in for? This is what's best for Elsa.
Not spending her life with a mother like you! Dan, what the hell's got into you?
Early on-set.
It's over.
Don't come to my house, don't call me, don't touch me.
His wife's team had you followed.
We're trying for another baby.
Nothing's happening so we're frustrated.
I saw you with her! What? I can't keep up with you.
Haven't you had enough of me? Not even close.
What's her name? Amy.
I had a little girl.
She remembers being a mum.
I won't steal Natalie's life you have to move out.
Hi, Katie.
It's kind of a party for two.
Har? I did my best to forgive you even though you ripped my heart out.
There's nothing left to pretend for now.
'Hi, This is Hari.
I can't take your call at the moment.
' Hari, please, where are you? Please let me know you're ok.
I'm going to be there today, for our appointment.
I just need you to know I'll be there.
Mark? Are you sure about this, hmm? Just you and me? No girls for you, no boys for me.
How hard can it be, huh? Besides, you should see the woman I married.
Morning! Who's for coffee? You know, I'm so busy looking after Mark that sometimes I forget about you.
Time for a change.
You bet.
When are you gonna tell her? Soon, I will.
I just have a lot of deals in place at the moment and with the market the way it is I need continuity so I want her gone by the end of the week.
All right? Hey, Siobhan.
500 years ago, it took a man outside of medicine to tell us what the heart really was that it wasn't just some romantic cell within the body where love and hope were stored, though some days it can feel like that.
And Da Vinci went against everyone to prove it.
The Church forbade his research, the academics condemned his theories but he continued to look beyond what everybody expected him to see.
So, is he going to take it? The research post.
They announced it this morning, he's been selected for Sydney.
And that is why every one of you as you He didn't tell you? Must strive each day and with every surgical procedure to question what you see.
Assume nothing until you know it.
And then question it again.
Thank you.
Now it's Auntie Jess coming.
Be a good girl for her, won't you? Hey.
Hey.
What's the matter? Love, I really appreciate this, I just need a couple of hours, all right? Where's Hari? Siobhan, what is it? Love, I just really need to be somewhere, all right? Ok, go.
We'll talk later, yeah? Yeah, all right.
I've told the girls that you'll be away for a few days for work.
I think that's best until we sort out something more permanent.
I sound like a false tooth.
You know that Amy can stay for as long as it takes for you to find I want this to be as easy on the girls as it can be.
Trudi, you know I'd do anything to change what's happened.
But you can't.
And I can't change the fact that I think of us and I see Natalie in that room with nothing.
I think it would be good if you took the girls to school today.
Look, I applied for it so long ago I can hardly remember the details.
It really wasn't up to Jack to tell you.
But you must have some idea, is it a sabbatical, can you come back? What is it, twelve months, six months? It's a twelve month placement with a possible extension.
Oh! I don't get you, Dan.
I don't get what we've been doing.
I haven't said yes.
Two months ago no hesitation.
You didn't even mention it, I mean it wasn't even a possibility, you don't just apply for a job on the other side of the world and then forget about it.
Well, maybe I wanted to.
I'm sorry.
This is amazing, it's amazing.
It's research, it's what you've always wanted.
I know but, um, things are different now.
I know but you might never get that opportunity again.
I might never get this opportunity again.
Would you prefer to reschedule? If I could just talk to him and tell him why.
Do you think that would change things? I don't know, but it would be where we could start.
I don't know if it was depression.
I know I felt incredibly alone incredibly isolated from you.
Well, I was there! Trying to rebuild our marriage.
I didn't know how to ask you to be with me.
I knew that was hard for you after Dominic.
So you did it again? Siobhan, did you feel that in you were in control of your behaviour or was it compulsive? I thought that what I was doing would help us.
I though that if I got what I needed from them, these men that I didn't even care about that I'd save what we had, that I wouldn't lose your love.
You screwed other men in hotel rooms while you told me you were working late or you were driving.
You did that to save our marriage? Hari, please don't make it sound like that.
It is that way.
I know you're right.
But I've stopped.
I've stopped.
It's over.
Because I saw the pictures? Because I'm not that person any more.
I don't recognise her or how I got to be her.
You're sick, Siobhan.
You need help.
I need you.
Oh, ok.
Darling, coming Elsa, hang on! Hi! I hear Siobhan's not at work today, is she in? No, she's out.
Hang on.
Who did you say you were again? Tom McCormack.
Is she ill? Her office didn't sound sure when she'd be back.
Really? Well surely as her nanny you'd know? I'm her friend.
She doesn't have a nanny.
She's got Hari.
And where's he? I'll say that you came by, all right? Please do.
Dominic, can I have a word, yeah? I was going to, um, I was going to call you about what I said yesterday.
I realise it's not my place.
to break it up? What? How does it work? I screw you and that's fine, anyone else and you think you have the right to tell Hari? What are you talking about? I barely even speak to Hari.
You didn't have to! You just sent the photos.
I wouldn't show those to anyone.
Well, you were the only one that had them.
And I kept them.
If Duggan saw them, you'd be struck off.
Well, show me.
Dominic, I'm so sorry But then how did Hari get these? The same way I did, from a team of lawyers using every trick in the book to wreck our case.
Ouch, what did they do? Hey! Hey, what is it? I'm fine.
Trudi, you're not fine.
Richard and me, we ah we broke up.
I'm fine.
It's all right, ok, ok.
Siobhan? Hey.
They're beautiful.
They're not from me, they're from your friend Tom McCormack.
He came here? Yeah, he walked in like he owned the place, who is he? Hey.
Come on now.
What is this? He's left me, Jess.
Hari's gone.
What? Why, you two worked this out? Why do you think? Oh, Siobhan, not him.
Please tell me you haven't lost Hari for him.
It's like having a beautiful dress and then you find out that some kid in a sweat shop has made it and you realise the dress isn't beautiful any more.
That doesn't make you guilty.
You didn't know about Natalie.
Yeah, but I do now.
I don't want to see you sad.
No, I've done the right thing.
You can't mend the world you know, Trudi.
Yeah, well, I need to try.
Give me that.
You're so busy being good to everyone else, you don't even think about what you want.
Your happiness.
Am I making it worse? No.
You're making it better.
This isn't a good idea.
Oh, look I Trudi, please! Don't take this the wrong way.
Yeah, vanilla essence, we're out of it.
I'm gonna go and get some.
Are you ok with those? It's 35 minutes at gas mark five.
So you want us to launch a porn mag? It's erotica, it's practically art.
Well, at least this one has words.
The organ we're aiming for is the brain.
This isn't for the top shelf or the dirty macs.
We've got some of the best writers in the country working for us.
So the launch is tomorrow and there's no budget? You're spoiling us.
Henrietta was let down at the last minute.
Look, I'll tell you what, I'll name check you in my next book product place the company.
Always wanted to be in that kind of book.
Oh, misery manuals.
Personal development guides.
Um, getting the seat down, mind the gap between the sexes.
And my latest Make Him Think Like You Do.
I unlock men's minds so that women can finally understand them.
You're a guycologist.
Sydney? Mmm.
It's so far away.
I know.
It's just not fair, Katie.
It's not though, is it? I've spent so long avoiding commitment.
Now commitment's avoiding me.
I'm sure I'm supposed to be learning some sort of profound lesson.
That's called asking him to stay.
Just tell him.
I can't.
I mean it would just be so utterly selfish.
I can't do that to him.
This is a chance that he needs to take.
No, you told me to pull in some favours and that's what I'm doing.
We gave you so much publicity on that photoshoot, you really owe me.
Tomorrow, great.
Thank you, bye.
I am making dinner.
Great, I'm starving.
I have got one hell of a job, we're supposed to be launching this tomorrow night, right? I've sorted the venue but I've got no caterers, no goodie bags, nothing.
So if you can think of any way I can feed a bunch of erotica experts, then please.
Help me out.
Let them eat cake? It's cheaper than canapes and I know a pretty good caterer.
That's gonna be like some sort of weird twisted tea party.
Trudi that is genius.
Do you think you can do it for tomorrow? Why not? Yes! Do some cakes yeah, like little cupcakes.
Ok.
Hey! Hey.
Hey, how are you holding up? Siobhan, I can't believe you've been going through all this, and not talked to us.
I just didn't know what you'd think of me.
You're my friend.
That goes before everything.
I know.
How can you bear the house without Richard? I have to.
It just seems so empty without Hari.
You don't know it's over, Siobhan.
Give him time.
You didn't see the way he looked at me.
Now I've lost him.
And what scares me is I don't know what to do.
I've been with him so long I just don't know who I am without him.
Well you know that whatever happens you've got us.
And little Elsa.
Oh, my God, didn't we all have husbands and boyfriends not so long ago? Yeah, Jessica's the stable one.
I mean, that's just wrong! That's just weird.
Quite novel though.
Not to me.
Well, it is to me.
Oi! Mark? Hello? Oh.
Hey.
Someone had a good night? Oh, yeah.
I had a couple of drinks with the boys.
Oh.
Just the boys, girls too? There were girls, yeah.
There was, um, a Ellie, Ellie, yeah and Madeleine and then there were also the twins Sophie and Tess.
Great.
Really gave exclusivity a shot then? Yeah, you're a real passion killer, Jess.
You know, every time I started to talk about my beautiful, clever, talented, gorgeous wife, they just didn't want to know any more.
Now, turn you head that way.
What? Turn your head that way do as you're told.
Couldn't sleep.
Counting sheep didn't work? No, allergic to fleece.
Ooh, you're gonna struggle in Australia, there's loads of sheep there.
Katie, I can't not take the job.
I know, I know, you would be insane not to.
Can I come in or do I have to spend all night on the doorstep? Come in.
Might as well make the most of the time we've got left, eh? Come with me.
What? Come with me.
I can't just go, I can't just leave everything.
I love you.
Can't live without you.
I, um, I've booked you both dinner at Le Sauvage for tomorrow night.
It was hard to get a table but I swung it.
Thanks.
I'll be in touch about a reference, Mark.
Sure.
Am I hallucinating or are you really going? Isn't it tragic that you need to clip his wings to stop him flying away? What? Don't blame the bird.
Blame the cage.
Um, I've just got her to sleep.
Thank you for looking after her.
I'll always look after her, she's my daughter.
So Duggan took you back? Yeah, I need to work, you know.
Hari? Could could we try and talk? No, Siobhan.
I heard everything yesterday.
Let me know what time you'll be back, I work around it.
Morning.
Morning.
So you slept on it? No, I'm going to need more than a few hours to decide something like this.
Ok.
I can wait.
I mean there's my job which I love, which I'm really good at.
I can't just walk away from it.
And then there's my friends and my family, what am I supposed to tell them? But, you were going to resign from it.
Oh! That, yeah.
I was just having a really bad day.
I just freaked out, you know, a moment of madness.
What kind of bad day? Oh, you know, just being new and out of my depth.
And you didn't think to tell me about it? No.
I was going through my independent phase.
Anyway, I took it back.
I had a better day and then a better day.
You know what I'm like, I make decisions I regret and I don't want to do that with this, so please.
Just give me time.
Ok.
Hi.
Hey.
Interesting reading.
Oh, um, it's, it's for a launch.
I'm doing the catering.
Those girls in the WI again? Sorry, um.
I know I'm supposed to be giving you space but I really want to see Amy.
Is that ok with you? Of course it is.
I don't want you not to see her.
No I know, it's just that we've said I'm away.
Yeah, I need to explain why you're not at home.
I miss her.
And the girls and you.
Richard Sorry, sorry, I shouldn't have said that.
Trudi, I don't want Amy to look at me the way you did when you found out about Natalie.
I need to tell her, to salvage something good out of this mess I've made.
I thought I'd tell her tomorrow.
Take her out for the day, I'm gonna clear it with the school.
I think that would be good.
Thanks.
But that's the kind of things that happen, isn't it? Katie! Hey! Hello, you talked him out of it? No, not quite.
Oh, I can't turn it down, Megan.
I know, I have to be unselfish we all do.
Good for you, mate, at least you're going to a country with a decent cricket team.
No, I've, um, I've asked Katie to come with me.
No! This is all wrong.
Katie's the lure to get you back, we can't lose both of you.
Oh, God, that's a massive decision.
I haven't made a decision yet and Dan is employing underhand tactics which I would like him to stop.
Oh God! Well, you take your time.
You've got to do what's best for you, for your career.
Thanks, pal.
See you later.
See you later.
Morning.
Dominic, I'm sorry about yesterday.
You're the last person I should have doubted.
I'm still trying to understand why you did.
I've no excuse, I'm just all over the place at the moment.
I don't know who to trust.
You can trust me.
McCormack's wife is going to be here in 15 minutes.
With the lawyers that had you photographed.
They're gonna go after him.
Which means going after you too.
I'm not going to see this man destroy your career, Siobhan.
But I need to know from you that it's over.
It's over.
It's over! So you weren't going to tell me? I haven't even had a chance to get my thoughts together yet.
Well, I think you should go.
It's as much of an opportunity for you as it is for him.
Much as it pains me to say it.
So you want me to go, you actually want this to work for me? What I don't want is for us to end up like this you suspicious of me.
I thought about what you said.
I didn't realise I was being so selfish.
I only want what's best for you.
I accept now that's not me.
Listen, I've got to go.
Are you seeing Dan tonight? Um, no.
It's his cricket night.
Maybe we could meet up later.
Oh Jack, I don't, I don't As friends, Katie, that's all.
As friends who don't know when they've next got the chance to be friends.
Is that so wrong? No, I suppose not.
Trudi, are you ok? Hi! Trudi? Oh, ah, double D cupcakes, try one.
Trudi? About yesterday, I was trying to do the right thing.
You'd just broken up with Richard.
Yeah, which is my excuse for acting like a loon.
I want to apologise and assure you that it won't happen again.
I will stay firmly on my side of the kitchen.
You are completely safe with me.
I don't want to be safe, I just want you to be sure.
No, no, stop it.
You're just trying to be nice.
Trying to make be feel not quite so absolutely terrible.
Well, ah, I do appreciate it.
Now, have a cupcake and erase it from your brain.
Did you like them? The flowers.
I threw them away.
They've cancelled.
They just can't cancel.
What reason? Tactics.
They assume correctly that they're in the stronger position.
A stronger position? How? There are photographs taken by a team of private investigators.
Chard Investigations, we assume working for your wife's lawyers.
They have pictures that support your wife's claim that you were unfaithful during your marriage.
These pictures also show you with Siobhan.
I see.
The case is entirely compromised, you'll have to give in to their demands.
I won't be blackmailed.
Tom? Do you not understand what this means? They'll use those photos.
They'll ruin your reputation and destroy my career.
I'm sorry you got dragged into this but I will not concede.
photos to my husband.
I'm fighting to save my marriage here.
Are you? Because I don't think you give a damn about anybody else here.
I can't give up on every principle I hold.
I don't judge others and I don't expect to be judged in return.
My only regret is that you've come under the same scrutiny.
If you really regret it, give your wife what she wants.
Oh, Dan, I'm gonna go.
Me too.
Oh, wait, wait, wait.
Do you fancy watching me bat? I've got to go and see Trudi.
I thought you saw Trudi last night? What, am I on a quota? No, no, no.
She's just having a really hard time.
Ok, then can I see you after? I don't really wanna be on any time limits.
Oh, ok.
No, actually, I can cancel.
No.
You go, you go.
Be a good friend.
Ok.
I'll drag Jack out for a beer.
Um, score one for me.
You have so much to learn.
Bye.
Bye.
Hey.
Everything's done.
have a tea or a drink or something.
I've got to go, I've got to get things sorted.
If you need somewhere to stay, stay here.
What with you? Well if it's easier, I'll rent somewhere for Elsa and me.
This is your home as much as mine, Hari.
You might as well know now, I need to sort the house, who stays, how it gets divided.
I want a divorce.
No, Hari, no.
No.
You can forgive.
I know you can.
I'm not saying now, or in a year, but I know you can.
Siobhan, you, all the lies, this marriage, I want them over.
Aah, can I get a I'll just have a beer, thank you.
Dan, hi.
Hi.
Everything ok? Yeah, yeah, yeah, fine.
Is Katie here yet? I just wanted a quick word.
She is coming round tonight, right? Oh yeah, she phoned, she's stuck in traffic.
Ok, um, you look like you're going out.
I am, I mean we are.
Look, should I give her a message? Um, no, no, no, no.
No message, it's fine.
Ok.
Thanks.
Bye-bye.
Ok, keep it moving guys, come on.
The guests are going to be here any minute.
I need a magazine on every table.
Simon, these look great.
Make sure everybody gets one.
Don't touch the merchandise.
Yep, agreed.
Hey, how's it going? Good.
Have you seen Trudi? She's around somewhere.
Stunning.
You and the cakes, thank you.
Wow! Jessica! I mean, Simon said you were good but this is even beyond my expectations.
I did it to tap your powers.
So you read my book then? Yeah, I'll admit it I'm a convert.
So um, so you would say there's not one question you can't answer about men? Why, do you have a question? No, a friend of mine has a question.
Well, I'd be delighted to help your friend.
So, she and her husband they have pretty much been free spirits until now, but they reached a point where they want to be one spirit and I mean I'm fine with that, I'm finding it really easy and I Oops! You know, there's no crime in needing support through a relationship.
You wouldn't go on a round the world No, ok.
So? So Mark, that's my husband, um, I don't know if he's finding it easy and if he's not then I don't know why! Do you know what the most powerful word in the world is? Chanel.
Change.
It's a word that runs through all my books.
We, women, we, have the power to transform our lives and the lives of our men.
How to make them think like we do.
Your husband, he just needs some time and your belief that he CAN change.
It's all in the book, Jessica.
Hello.
So this is the case study, is it? Yeah, Mark.
This is Henrietta.
She's looking for some material for her new book and you may just be it.
Jess! Can I have a word please? Hello, Henrietta.
I can see you doing well out there, great quality of life, good money.
But I think there's so much here for you as well.
You've only just started.
Hmm, that's a thought that's been going through my head too.
Well, maybe you should listen to that thought.
Your instincts have always been exceptional.
Sometimes.
If there was no Megan.
What? If it was just me or Dan, no other complications, would you be with me? Have you asked me here for this? I'm sorry.
I'm trying, Katie, it's just that I can see you having the life that we planned but you're having it with him.
You've had the life that we planned Jack.
You've been having it for the last 15 years.
It is the way it is.
Maybe it's the way it should be.
Maybe we have both ended up with the live that we should have.
They are good lives, with people we love.
So you love him then? Yes! Yes, I love him.
And if you want a comparison, Jack.
However much I loved you once, I'm gonna go with him, so there.
That's an end to it.
Trudi, um, I may be younger than you but I'm not some dreamy juvenile, ok? And you can pretend all you want that I'm just going through some crush but I know how I feel.
I want you.
Are you ok? Lucas, I'm, I'm just a mum.
I do the school run, I see my friends, I bake cakes.
I mean, I don't have adventures.
Do you want to? I mean, do you want something else, Trudi? It doesn't matter what I want.
my girls, I mean they have lost so much.
And now with Amy and Richard, them everything else.
It doesn't mean you can't be good for you.
You can be the woman in the killer heels.
It doesn't take away all the other parts of you.
You can be anything you want to be.
I can't.
Truds? Yeah? I want you to meet Henrietta.
This is the lady I was telling you about, Trudi.
So, abandoned housewife.
Self-made businesswoman.
You know, you'd be a fantastic story for the magazine the naked baker.
You could make the ingredients for reinvention.
What do you say? Um, I don't think I want to be reinvented.
Maybe I like the old me.
What you're doing, you're business, being here tonight.
It just screams brand new you.
No? Um, I'm sorry, I don't mean to be rude but you don't know me.
No, but I know women and I know change.
Call me.
Have you seen Lucas? Ah, I think I saw him leave.
Trudi? Loving the nipples by the way.
Trudi.
I looked for you but you weren't there.
I wanna be someone new.
I wanna be the woman in the killer heels.
Aaah, we made it.
I know.
These evenings are such a marathon.
I didn't expect it to be so tough.
And I appreciate it.
You did it for me.
I want you to be happy.
I didn't take one number, I didn't give mine, I barely flirted.
So you wanted to bang those girls tonight? But I didn't.
Yeah, but you wanted to.
I'm trying, Jess, I really am.
Is just me and you such an effort for you? Is her face ok? It's make up.
Maybe she was out with dad.
Mum? Yeah Do me and Gina have to go to school today? It's from Lucas.
He says "amazing" What?! Ok, ok, thank you.
Now scram! Go and get your breakfast.
Hey, Dan! 32 degrees in Sydney today.
You are getting a house with a pool, aren't you? I mean, struggling, you know, like I said it's been tough for her.
She seemed fine.
Oh, she didn't tell you I'd called round? You were stuck in traffic.
Yeah, I, um, I had to get some petrol.
So, um, why did she spend all evening calling you? You left it here.
I though you might need it, so I called round.
She's not an accomplished liar.
Look, Dan are you telling lies for a good reason or a bad one? Last night last night I needed some time for myself.
I needed to work things out in my head.
Right, well, I can handle that, you could have told me that.
I know, I don't know why I didn't.
But listen, Dan, none of that matters now.
I dunno, feels like it does.
Look, Katie, I don't know where I so I can only draw my own conclusions.
Shut up! I'm coming with you.
What did you say? I said, I'm coming with you.
No way! Yeah.
No way! Are you excited? Yeah! Come on, let's get a coffee.
Ok! I'll get it! Dad.
Ok Amy Thanks.
D'you wanna wait in the car? Ok.
Are you all right? Dreading it.
Do you want me to come? No, no.
I have to do this myself.
Ok, you just have to be honest with her.
Richard, I'm proud of you.
Thanks.
Oh, girls, come on, we've got five minutes! No no, no, no, no, no! Shit.
Morning.
Good morning.
Oh, Dominic, hey.
Are you all right? Hari wants a divorce.
I'm sorry.
I've no right to expect him to want anything else.
Do you know, I use that word every day.
Divorce.
And it's never sounded so horribly final.
Is there anything I can do? Revise history.
I would have to make one exception.
Are you around tonight? I'll come over, help with Elsa cook you a mean steak sandwich.
I'm off bread.
Steak salad? No.
It's sweet, You know what I mean.
I appreciate it, it's just I'm the worst company in the world at the moment.
Oh, that's fine, I'll bring some DVD's, we don't need to talk at all.
But I do think it's important you eat.
And let your friends take care of you.
I rest my case.
You know you can't change.
And you shouldn't have to.
You fight your nature and you destroy what makes you who you are.
And you're special, you really are.
Oh, shoot! Get out! Jess, we were just Yeah, I know I saw.
Jessica, insisting on change can be damaging to both of you.
There's me thinking change is good.
Sometimes You charlatan! After everything I've done for you, you come to my house and you do this! It was nothing Get out! Hey, darling.
Are you ok? Yeah.
Here, let me take this for you.
The girls are in the garden if you want.
Ok, yeah.
Bye, Dad.
Bye.
Come in.
How'd it go? It went well.
She still loves me.
Sorry, I didn't mean that you should.
I've found a place.
What, already? I can't put it off, can I? Is it a bit small? Jess, this is crazy, you can't run out on me.
What's got into you? Such a good question.
Nothing really happened! But it would have done, Mark.
This is the thing, you can't change, can you? I can! Look, I have! You wanted Carrie gone, I did it.
I'm doing this for you so gimme a break if I don't hit the ground I want you to do it because you want to, not cos I've got you in some 12 step programme or cos I've put you in a cage.
Don't you get it, Mark, I love you! Jess Oh, don't do that.
I don't want to have to beg you to love me.
I can, Mark, because you make me feel like I'm not enough for you and you know what's really funny is you were enough for me.
McCormack just called.
Yeah? He's prepared to settle.
He wants us to find out what the wife's team is after and make it go away.
Really? He knows he won't win.
Either that or he's certainly discovered something resembling a conscience.
Shall we go? Um, I think I should get on to them straight away, find out what the demands are.
It's all right, we'll do it in the morning.
I'd prefer to get it done now.
Ok.
Making me brave.
For the first time in years I can look at myself No secrets, no awful lie I'm terrified is gonna come out.
I didn't realise how good that would feel.
Sorry, that probably sounded terribly insensitive.
It did.
Irony is, you're why I told the lies.
You're what I was trying to protect and I lost you anyway.
Have I lost you for good? Oh! Um, Hi Lucas.
Sorry.
Come in.
Siobhan? I wasn't expecting you.
I have your wife's terms of the settlement.
Shall we? Come in.
Tell me this isn't the only reason you're here? It's the only reason I'm here.
It doesn't feel daunting.
It doesn't feel like we're going away, does it? It just feels right.
Which is completely at odds with my natural state.
Thank you.
I'm so pleased for you, we both are.
It's still a bloody long way away though, isn't it? Come visit, have a holiday.
I hate flying! Well, I don't! You better start making an effort.
Would you have gone without Katie? You'd already accepted.
Only to put the screws on you.
Well, I'd like to take some credit for all of this.
As it was my dinner party that got you two hooked up.
Yeah, but it was me who invited Dan so I think a lot of the credit goes to me.
Well, thank you, Jack.
We owe you a lot.
Now, before I embrace my healthy new lifestyle, I have to say goodbye to my old one.
Oh, thank you.
Are you going to take a look at this properly? Not just now.
But you are on board with the demands? Don't worry, please.
I want an end to this just as much as you do.
I'm glad you came, because I've been wanting to apologise for the things I've done.
Getting your number, becoming your client, coming to your house.
I mean, that was wrong.
And I'm sorry.
Well, I hardly behaved impeccably myself.
So Um, we should get back to this.
Please! Don't worry about the case.
But the photos.
They'll go away, I promise.
Well, how can you be so sure? It's something outside your control.
They will stop at nothing.
Trust me.
Shouldn't you answer that? I don't want to waste the precious time I have with you.
No, answer it.
I'll keep.
Hello? Yes, this is him.
Yeah, tell her I'll take the call.
Oh, yeah.
No, we haven't spoken for a while now.
Well, look I have to go now.
And, I really do have to go now.
So, you're really gonna quit? You know, I'm really happy for you, I don't think I know a better man than Dan.
Thank you.
I do love Megan.
I just wish it was a little easier to let you go.
You'll get there.
We have been very, very lucky.
We only hurt ourselves.
C'mon, let's go.
They'll be waiting.
Goodbye, my love.
D'you think he'll tell Megan? How the hell should I know.
Can I ask, Lucas is that 'No, it's not anything important.
' Morning.
I never thought I wanted to be a dad.
You're not gonna be a dad.
Will you come with me for a minute? Hari, we would be going to war.
Do you know what you're letting yourself in for? This is what's best for Elsa.
Not spending her life with a mother like you! Dan, what the hell's got into you?
