[Narrator] And tonight,
we continue our series

of Extraordinary Professional Women.

Oh! Hello, I'm Nina Proudman.

I'm the acting head of Obstetrics
here at St. Francis Hospital.

After many years working here,

I've been granted this important
and demanding position.

-[baby crying]
-Great work, team.

-Thanks, Nina!
-Thanks, Nina!

Of course, there's a lot
of extra responsibility.

But also, so much respect.

Nina, this important document
needs your sign-off.

-Great work, Kim.
-Thank you, Nina.

Nina, can I just say...

We'd be lost without you, Nina--

-[record scratches]
-Yes?

-[Kim] Nina!
-Yes, I'm here! I'm here.

[sighs] Hello?

You must be counting the days
until Harry gets back.

-He gets back tomorrow.
-What, tomorrow?

So what, where's he been, Venezuela?

-He's been in Guyana.
-Solving a crisis?

Working for an aid organization.

Do you ever think
maybe he's too good to be true?

[sighs]

[explosions]

Do you want me to take Zoe
tomorrow, for the night?

No, it's okay.

Come on! You guys have been
together for how many weeks?

And he's been in Guyana
for the past three?

You're gonna need some space.
To reunite.

[laughs] I don't know
if he's gonna call me.

He might go straight home
from the airport.

I mean, I don't know if I'm going to
see him straightaway, and that's fine.

Why are you being weird?

Well, I don't know exactly where we're at.

What do you mean?

We were taking things really slowly,

and then right before he went away,
we thought, "What if he stays the night?"

-We were right in the middle of it.
-[bed creaking]

-[Harry] Zoe! Whoa! Um, what do we--
-[Nina] Just wait there for Mummy, okay?

-Zoe busted you having sex.
-[suppresses laughter]

What did you do?

-[Harry panting]
-Harry was just squashing me!

-Harry was squashing me.
-Oh...

Squash, squash, squash...

[laughs]

-Squash, squash, squash...
-What a funny game!

-[Nina claps]
-[Harry laughs]

It really focused for me that
this relationship affects Zoe.

I don't want to confuse her.

It's too soon to know
if this relationship's longterm.

We're still getting to know each other.

It's way too early
to have the conversation about--

Squashing?

Okay, aside from the fact that Zoe caught
you having a squash,

what about the other stuff?
Have you met his family yet?

-No!
-No.

And he hasn't been attending
our family events.

No, well, because I don't
wanna put pressure on him.

No, you are putting up the Nina wall
between him and the rest of the family.

You haven't seen his baggage,
he hasn't seen yours.

Just don't screw it up.

[children playing in distance]

[kids] Daddy! Daddy!

-Mummy?
-Yeah.

[sighing]

[laughing] Hey! Who wants breakfast?

-I think we've got eggs!
-Eggs! Come on, let's go.

-Help me up, up you get.
-Up, up, up.

[grunting playfully]

[Nina, thinking] Busy day ahead.
Must stay focused.

Wonder if Harry will call
when his plane gets in...

Legs are shaved. Ready for anything.

-Morning.
-Oh.

We've got a busy day, today.
What's your life like?

Meetings, meetings, meetings,
and then surgery this afternoon.

Hey, Nina, you know how you're
the acting head of Obstetrics?

Uh-huh.

-That makes you our "A-HO."
-[both laughing]

-Get it? A-HO.
-Yep.

-Acting, Head, of Obstet--
-I get it.

-Jokes aside, how you going?
-[groans]

I have a new appreciation
for what Martin Clegg does.

-Is the water over your head?
-Sometimes!

Sometimes it's right at my eyes.

You wanna know the secret
to being a good A-HO?

What?

It's a little something I learned
as director of Nursing.

When in doubt, go silent.

Silent?

Most of the time,
if you just stay still and quiet

the other person will panic
and solve the problem for you.

That sounds like bad advice

from someone who doesn't
have my best interests at heart.

Ah, skeptic. I respect that.

-Elvis.
-Yes?

Today's surgery schedule.

Yeah?

Oh, yeah, it's here somewhere.
Yeah, here.

Uh, yeah, there was a change to it.
You're right.

I meant to make a note of it.
I'm so sorry.

You're welcome. Run along.

Just before we head off,
these proposals need reviewing.

I assume you've all had a chance
to read them.

This decision is important because
the recommendation we make

is going to go to the Board,

and the clock is ticking on it.

-Nina, what did you think?
-What?

About... Which one?

Uh, of the three, which would you
suggest is the front-runner?

Oh...

Of the three, I would...

[Nina, thinking] Go silent.

Still, quiet.

Abort, abort!

All right then. Can everybody have
their reading done by Monday?

We'll resume the discussion then. Thanks.

[line ringing]

[line disconnects]

[sighs]

[line ringing]

[baby crying]

[line disconnects]

-[baby crying]
-Shh, shh...

-[baby continues crying]
-Just fed him.

It's probably just wind.

-[baby continues crying]
-[Billie] Aw...

Oh, darling. [coos]

Oh, Tarquin.

-You still going with Tarquin?
-I don't know.

I liked it at first, but I don't think
it matches his face.

Oh, can I just say, I was really
hoping you'd get there.

I don't have anything against the name,

I just, I have a history
with someone called Tarquin.

You seem to have a history
with a lot of names.

What are we going to call you? Bob, hmm?

[Brody] I was googling last night.

Okay, so...

What about mythology. Like Thor?

You're doing the "I hate it" face.

I do hate it.

-I don't want to kill your creativity.
-Odin.

Hate it.

-Apollo.
-Love it.

But not for him.

Artemis.

Let's stick with Bob for the moment.

And after that I'm going to
come and watch you brush your teeth.

[Alfie] Okay, all right.

I got this.

-Thanks.
-Wait.

It's not working.

This, it's not working.

Sleeping separately, then you jumping back
into bed to fool the kids, not working.

Well, it's all we've got right now.

No, we are nowhere right now, you and me,
and it's just been dragging on.

So do you want me to move out?

Or should I?
I could go and stay with Billie.

Is that an ultimatum?

I want you to be here.

If that's what you want.

-So that wasn't an ultimatum.
-I just want you to make a decision.

-So when's the deadline?
-[sighs]

-I am trying so fucking hard right here--
-[Alfie] Mom!

Coming!

So, we're taking a guy to lunch today.

Ooh. Just any guy, or...

We're going to meet
with Bierkven Yaklarssen.

Hang on, one more time with the name?

Uh, Bierkven Yaklarssen.

Could be Icelandic,
possible Faroe Islands.

Okay, so when we meet
with this Bierkven Yaklaw--

Bierkven Yaklarssen, yep.

So the aim is to narrow the focus
of our work, get more industry-specific,

and Bierkven is part of that strategy.

Okay.

He is a very big fish in the field
of medical and pharmaceutical,

and we're going to find out
what his aspirations are,

and help him to his next job.

-We're gonna poach him.
-Yes.

Is this ethical?

We're headhunters!
This is what we do.

Oh, I put together a prep file for you
so you can read up on him.

Danke.

Bikeven Yaklarssen...

-Bikeven...
-"Bierkven."

-Biarkven...
-"Yaklarssen."

-Bikeven...
-No, "Bi-erk," as in the singer Bjork.

-Oh, Bierk.
-With a "Ven" on the end.

Bierkven Yalarse.

[phone ringing]

Hello!

I'm back. I am home.

-Great.
-[Harry, on phone] Where are you?

I'm at work. What are you doing?

[yawns] I'm in the cab. I'm going home.

Ah, okay. Yeah, of course.

But once I've washed this flight off me
I'd like to see you as soon as possible.

Good.

Um, we can do that.

[Harry] When you're finished work?

Yeah. Uh, yes. Come over to my house,
and I, I'll...

I'll cook some food, and we'll eat, and...

And you can tell me about your trip.

That sounds perfect.

Um, well, I'll see you later.

-Okay, bye.
-[Harry] Bye.

-[hangs up]
-[giggles]

[phone ringing]

Hi, Mum.

[Geraldine, on phone] Darling,
I'm calling a Geraldine Day,

and I'd like everyone to come for dinner.

[Nina, on phone] No.

Yes.

No, not today.

It's Geraldine Day,
and I want everyone here!

-I can't.
-[Geraldine] Nina...

Mom, Harry just got back,
and I want to see him.

No, that's perfect, I want Harry to come.

I don't think he'll feel like
seeing the Proudmans.

[Geraldine] You've been
keeping him from us.

I want the full family,
especially Harry.

Why especially?

It's important. Bring him.

[sighs]

[Nina, thinking]
Harry's first Geraldine Day...

You haven't seen his baggage,
he hasn't seen yours.

I'm back. And I brought all my baggage.

Childhood trauma. Um, father issues.

Yeah, mother issues.
Relationship issues, uh...

And in here...

Well, that's just a whole lot
of crazy, messed-up shit.

[chittering]

[laughing] Oh, that's not baggage.

This is baggage.

[zoo animals calling]

The Board of Studies is meeting
about next semester.

We need to talk about your enrollment.

What are you thinking?

Well, I failed, so doesn't the system just
boot me out automatically?

Not necessarily.

But we need to know what you're planning.

What would you do?

[Nina, thinking] Don't make
the decision for her.

It's important she does it herself.

You're staring at me.

Oh, this is Kim's strategy.
It doesn't work on me.

Okay, this is stupid.

No, you're right, I...

I have to make a decision.

But I have no clarity.

Do you wanna drop out?

-No.
-Then you're going to continue.

I can't study, and be a mother,
and be Jimmy's partner.

I tried that, and it didn't work.

Well, we need to know. The Board
meets next week, so...

Don't dick around and let people
make decisions for you.

Come on. Have the difficult conversations
you need to, and get back to me.

[alarm chiming]

-I've gotta get back.
-Yeah.

Bye.

[Nina] You already know that one of your
twins has high airway obstruction?

Yeah, Elvis said
she wouldn't be able to breathe.

That's right. She'll need emergency
surgery as soon as she's born.

We're going to do an operation
called the exit procedure.

-Is that a Cesarean?
-Yes. First we'll birth the healthy twin--

And after that is when things
get more complex,

because we'll need to keep
your second baby attached to you

so that she's still getting oxygen
through the umbilical cord.

Is it dangerous?

It is more complicated
than a standard Cesarean.

There are risks,
but we have a great team.

[Nina] We'll be monitoring you
the whole time.

I know it's scary,

but this is the safest way
to bring both your babies into the world.

Don't worry, honey. I'll be there
to keep an eye on them.

It'll be okay.

Thank you.

Did you get through all the prep material?

Bierkven Yaklarssen started his career
at the University of Copenhagen

with a double degree
in Commerce and Pharmacy.

Well you didn't have to memorize it.

Worked in pharmaceuticals for 12 years
before leapfrogging to medical equipment.

The contracts that this guy
deals with are enormous.

The name, though!

I'm scared I'm gonna laugh in his face
and spray spit down his front

and snort and wreck the whole...

-Unexpectedly handsome.
-Uh, yeah.

-Bierkven.
-Kerry.

So great to finally
put a face to the name.

You, too.

[Kerry] Oh, and this is my associate,
Billie Proudman.

-Bierkven Yaklarssen.
-Hello.

-Yes.
-Um...

-Shall we sit?
-Yes.

Yes. [clears throat]

-Hey.
-Hi.

So you're takin' Harry
to dinner at your mum's?

-Oh, did she invite you, too?
-Yeah.

[both chuckling]

You and Harry, you're serious?

Yes. Dating.

-I guess.
-Ah... [groans]

Dating's a jungle, man.

[groans]

I've put a lot of thought into this,
and I hope you don't mind, but I, um...

I jotted down a few thoughts.

All right.

"Dear Nina.

So, you're back into the dating game,
good for you."

Thanks.

"Zoe will benefit from seeing Mum happy,
but take care, keep it casual.

Manage your expectations.

Don't spend all your time with Harry
at the expense of spending time with Zoe."

Oh, Kim--

"And remember, she's old enough now
to see what's going on.

You don't want to screw her up by
moving too fast, thereby damaging her."

Anything else?

"Love from Kim."

Thank you for your concern, Kim.

But Harry and I are...

Exercising caution.

Oh, in that case
you're doing the right thing.

On ya, Neens.

-You okay?
-[Elvis] Just preparing.

Your instincts will be to do the Cesarean
as usual, to work quickly.

Yep.

So remember, this time
we're just slowing it down.

It's gonna feel strange,
but don't let it throw you.

Our priority is to look after Tash while
they operate on the baby.

Yep.

You're gonna do great, Elvis.
I'm here if you need me.

[Elvis] Let's begin.

The scan shows twin one in cephalic
presentation, maternal left.

Twin two in frank breech, maternal right.

[anesthetist]
Vitals and saturation normal.

[Elvis] Making the uterine incision now.

All right.

[exhales]

Twin one.

-[Kim] Hello!
-[Elvis] Cutting cord.

-[baby crying]
-[Elvis] Placenta.

Now we're going to locate twin two,

and we're going to deliver the head only,
making sure the placenta's still attached.

-[Elvis] Okay.
-[baby crying]

-[Kim] This baby has a laceration.
-[Elvis] Pardon?

[Kim] She's bleeding.
There's a scalpel cut on her arm.

[Elvis] Is it bad?

[Nina] Just apply pressure
and bandage, for now. Elvis, here, please.

[Nina] Gentle.

[Elvis] Come on, where are you...

I can't find...

I can't find the head.

[Nina] Stand down.

Dr. Kwan is stepping out of the procedure.

Okay, now we need to deliver twin two.

Just turning the baby around.

[Nina] Thank you.

-Hey.
-Hey.

Everything's fine. Surgery went well.

[exhales]

Elvis, I felt I needed to step in.

Nina, I cut a baby.

You nicked her arm.
It does happen sometimes.

I wish it hadn't happened,
not with the stakes that high.

But the surgery was okay?

Blake and Tash
have two beautiful daughters.

That's great.

[sighs]

So, are we good?

You and me?

Well, you can stop calling me an A-HO.

I don't even know what it means.

I'm so happy that you decided
to take this meeting today.

Well, you seem much more motivated
than my previous recruiter.

I like that you just said previous.

I'm ambitious.
And I like ambitious people.

Well, your industry
is aspirational for us,

and I think we can make
a great partnership.

-Depending on what your goals are.
-Sure.

Uh, so where do you see yourself
in five years?

-[Bierkven] Uh, that's a good question.
-Thank you.

I'd like to be the director
of a research institute.

So, Bierkven, is that Icelandic?

Oh, my father's Danish. And my mother's
from the Faroe Islands.

Ah, there you go. Mystery solved.

-Well, what's Billie short for?
-Oh, I wouldn't say I'm that short.

[laughing] Um, actually I'm named
after Billie Holiday.

-Oh, wow.
-Well, Kerry doesn't mean anything.

Yeah, what's in a name, huh? [giggles]

-[phone ringing]
-Oh, that's me.

This is urgent. Will you guys excuse me?

What, what are you doing with the hair?

What are you doing with the glass?

Oh, God.

We've gone into
a competitive flirting spiral.

You're right!

-Ugh, who are we?
-We are better than this.

We're partners.

-I don't even wanna go there with him.
-Neither do I,

-I just wanna work with him.
-Let's draw a line under it and move on.

So sorry.

Um, now...

-Where were we?
-So, Bierkven,

we've done a little bit
of prep work, and, um,

there are a few professional roles
that we'd like to run past you

-just to gauge your reaction.
-Sure.

Uh, we've made a short list that I'd
like to... Run through with you...

DLS Limited.

[voice cracking] NSO Pharmaceuticals.

Clinical Pharmaceuticals...

Brody, I'm home.

-Oh, sorry I'm a bit late.
-That's okay. He's asleep.

But I gave him a big feed earlier,
so he should be all right for a while.

Don't worry about us,
we'll be fine. Have fun!

Thank you.

[line ringing]

[sighs]

[line disconnects]

[Nina, thinking] Manage your expectations.

Don't know what Harry's expectations are.

Don't overthink it.

[knocking at door]

Hey.

Hello.

Come in.

-How do you feel after your trip?
-Oh...

Good to have a shower.

Uh, sorry about this, but do you mind
if there's a little change of plans?

-No, that's okay.
-Dinner at my mother's?

Oh, right.

-She asked for you especially.
-Yeah, it's fine.

All right.

-[Zoe] Hi, Harry!
-Hey, Zoe.

[Harry] How are you?

I got you a little something, actually,
while I was away.

-This one's for you. It's a jaguar.
-[quietly] "Thank you."

-Thank you!
-That's okay.

You can give him a name. He's traveled
a very long way to see you.

-What name should we give him?
-Uh...

-Leah.
-Leah!

[Harry] That's a good name.
I'll show you how he growls.

[Harry growling like a jaguar]

Come on. We'll bring Leah.

There you go. Go and see Grandma.

Just before we go in...

My mother doesn't have birthdays,
she has Geraldine Days.

And today is a Geraldine Day.
It could be anything.

-Okay--
-Your inclusion in this event

is what it is, nothing more.

-[Jimmy] Hey, Zoe...
-We pull people in in my family.

We're inclusive. We include people.

[Harry] Sure.

-Geraldine Day.
-I was just telling Harry.

I'm 99% sure tonight is about me and Zara.

Yes! Well, maybe, because she did
ask for Harry to come--

[Billie] Wait! Wait, wait, wait, wait.

I'm worried this Geraldine Day is about
me and Mick. I need a strategy.

-Something wrong with you and Mick?
-No.

-It's okay, it's about these two.
-Oh.

Yeah, Mum asked for Harry especially.

-Here I am.
-Yes. Good. Breaking down the Nina wall.

-The Nina wall.
-No.

There's pressure on you,
but I'm going to support you.

Me too.
We're all here to support you.

It might not be about any of us!

No, no, it's bound to be about you two.
Works for me. Come on in.

[lively chatter]

-Are you okay?
-Mmm.

Yeah. I'm just a bit nervous, because
Mum's got an agenda. She always has.

She looks like she's
just enjoying herself.

-Yeah.
-Billie. How's Mick?

Tonight is not an intervention
about my marriage.

I was just asking how Mick was.

Mick is in the UK. He's doing well.

[Geraldine] Right.

But if we're looking for
things to talk about,

apparently Zoe caught Nina
and Harry having a squash.

What? Billie!

Sorry, the pressure was on me.
I had to deflect.

Hi, everyone. My name's Kim. That's me.

Well, as some of you know, Jess and I...

We asked Jimmy if he'd donate some sperm
so Jess could have a baby.

It's okay, Jimmy,
we're not gonna ask you again.

But, uh, we've been observing another man.

-[Geraldine] Oh.
-Me?

-You're nice.
-Yeah. You got a nice man face.

You've got great legs.
We've all seen your butt.

-And your junk.
-[all laughing]

[Kim] So what do you think?

Will you be our donor?

Oh, guys, I love you,
but you gotta work on your pitch.

I, uh... I...

Well, I mean, it's okay, you don't
have to answer straightaway.

Yeah, we're just putting it out there.
Just have a think about it. [chuckles]

-[Kim] Talk to Kerry--
-[Will] I will. I will talk to Kerry.

-[Geraldine laughing]
-[Kerry] Are you gonna do it?

Oi, Billie, what about Mick's German tour?

-Sorry?
-You didn't tell me that.

Berlin, Munich, Hamburg.
He sounded totally stoked, didn't he?

Yeah, yeah, it's great.

-[Will] Hey, so how would it work exactly?
-[Kim] Why do you ask?

-[Kim] Turkey baster, obviously.
-Yeah.

Would there be some kind of arrangement?

-Yeah, of course, that makes sense.
-Would there be money involved?

Well, yeah, we need you
to pay for the school fees.

Hey, have you had a chance to think
about our conversation?

-What's this?
-[Geraldine] You're reading into it...

Uh, apparently I have to go and study
again next year, and repeat the semester.

You don't have to. It's your choice.

[stammering] You're gonna
repeat the semester?

-That's cool. Is it gonna be full-time?
-Don't know. Don't know.

-Because I--
-Just stop.

Billie, if I needed to stay somewhere for
a couple of nights, can I stay with you?

-Of course.
-[Zara] Thank you.

[Marjorie] You've had
too much to drink, Geraldine.

No, we need to talk about it.

Several weeks ago,

-after we scattered Darcy's ashes--
-No, no!

-[Will] It's all right, Mum.
-We had a sexual encounter.

-Huh?
-[Geraldine] Marjorie and myself.

And Renato. You remember Renato.

-A three-way?
-I did not need to know this.

I did not need to know this either.

Harry has some
terrific stories about Guyana.

-[all muttering awkwardly]
-Okay...

Yeah, I do. Actually it was extraordinary,
from the moment I got there--

Hang on a minute! Hang on a minute.
I haven't finished.

-There's more.
-Mum, please.

-After that there was another night.
-Now, this is uncalled for.

[Geraldine] And this night
was without Renato.

-Just the... Two of you...
-[Geraldine] Mmm.

A night of skin, and energy, and a deep
intuitive understanding.

Oh, come on! It's hardly
the first time I've been with a woman.

-Can I get an amen?
-We're just bystanders.

Don't get me wrong,
normally I do like a man to be there,

I mean, let's face it, I love cock.

-[snorts]
-And it's always handy

to have a penis to grab onto.

-Amen.
-But since that night, Marjorie,

you have been... Changed.

What's the problem, got a gay issue?

-Not at all. Some of my best friends--
-Yeah, got it.

Then why are you being
so strange about it?

-I'm not.
-[Geraldine] You won't talk about it.

[Marjorie] Look, it happened.

-Mmm?
-Yes, all right, there was activity.

Ever thought that sometimes people go
quiet because they don't wanna relive it?

[scoffs]

[Nina, thinking] How is he handling this?

Is he all right?

You're all just a pack of narcissistic,
hysterical sex maniacs.

And you think it makes you cute!
It's not cute!

Normal, adult people don't need to
root everything they see!

You loved it. I made sure that you did.

Is it that your feelings for me
are confusing you?

I think I'm gonna cry.

I'm beyond crying.
This is next level.

Oh, for God's sakes, stop behaving
like such babies!

Mum! What is wrong with you?

Don't you ever think about how your
terrible decisions affect everybody?

Well, I'd hardly call it
a terrible decision.

People are going through real things here.

-Jimmy and Zara.
-Do you need to bring us into it?

-Billie and Mick.
-What have I got to do with it?

Me and Harry, even! I mean,
I don't know what's going on with us

and where we're going and whether
we even have a future. Sorry.

Mum, the point is
is that we're your children,

and we don't want to
hear about your sex life.

In fact, stop having sex.
Stop it, stop it, stop it!

Normal adult people
don't have to root everything they see.

Oh, please! Root is such
an unattractive word.

-Awful word.
-[sighs]

-Looking for something?
-My bag. Harry, I'm sorry, we're going.

-Here.
-Not mine.

-This?
-No!

Why is it so hard to make a clean exit?

-Nina, that's--
-Thank you, yes, Harry, let's go.

-We're leaving.
-Right.

-Zoe. Where's Zoe?
-Front room.

[Nina] Come on, Zoe, let's go, darling.

I'm out of ideas, honey.

-I'm a good husband.
-You are a good husband.

Then come back to me.

[sniffling]

Sometimes that's all I wanna do. [crying]

I just want to crawl into bed with you
and pretend like none of this happened.

And I can't. [sobbing]

Hey, Mister, why aren't you in bed?

Alfie... [clears throat] I'm gonna go
to Auntie Billie's

and look after the new baby, yeah?

But I'll see you again tomorrow.

Call me when you get to Billie's?

[sighs]

[sighs]

[Mick on answering machine]
Hey, Mick Holland here.

Sorry I missed you, but leave a message
and I'll get back to you. Bye.

Hey, it's me. Um, I just heard
you got a German tour,

which is great. Um...

I just wanted to hear your voice.

See you.

[sobbing]

-She's down.
-[exhales]

-Are you two squashing?
-[stammering] Hey!

You cheeky little girl!
You're cheeky. Go.

What's wrong with this family?
Why did this happen?

Is it really so bad?

My mother and Geraldine Proudman.

My mother went to bed with the woman

my father was married to
when he cheated on her,

-with my mother.
-And now she's skin and understanding.

[vocalizing]

See, this is the thing that didn't used to
happen before.

[chuckles]

What are you doing?

Well, since I've been staying over
so much, I thought it was time.

Hmm.

-Did you?
-Mmm.

What do you think about that?

-Hell, yes.
-[chuckles]

Oh, you smell good.

So how'd your meeting go today?

-Uh, good? It was good...
-Mmm-hmm?

What was... What was Bierkven like?

Well, he was fine.
A bit of a dork, really.

-Hey.
-What?

Two women asked you to be a dad tonight.

-Yeah.
-Yeah.

What do you think about that?

Well, what do you think?

-Uh, it's flattering...
-Mmm.

But not if you wouldn't like it.

Oh, I'm not gonna
tell you what to do. [laughs]

-Does that mean you wouldn't like it?
-Well...

It means that it's your decision.

-Not mine.
-[phone ringing]

Billie?

Can I take a few days off without
you asking any questions?

Uh, sure, but now I want to
ask a lot of questions.

Well, I'll answer them when I see you.

Okay, but is... Is everything all right?

Yeah, sort of.

-Nothing to worry about.
-Okay.

Thanks.

We just have to wait an hour or so,

until she's asleep. [laughs] Sorry.

[chuckles]

-[sighs]
-Did you sleep on the plane?

A little.

Is something else going on?

What do you mean?

-What happened at Mum's?
-Uh...

I just... Let the pressure get to me.

-That's what happened.
-Sure.

I feel like you've been...

Approaching this relationship cautiously.

-That's true.
-Yeah.

So am I.

-Really?
-Yeah, yeah.

I think we've both been
protecting ourselves.

Yes.

I have been conscious about
not rushing this.

And I also thought that while you were
away, you might have...

-What, rethought our whole relationship?
-Yes.

-[laughs] I dunno.
-[laughs] No, no. I didn't.

[sighs] Seeing you tonight at your mum's--

Oh, my God, you must think I'm insane.

No, I don't think you're insane. I...

I was looking at you, and I was thinking,

"How is this
extraordinary woman possible?"

There's so much at stake for me, Harry.

Well, what are you most afraid of?

Letting my daughter love you.

She's old enough now to understand.

Her life can't be a revolving door of men.

-I can't subject her to that.
-No.

I've been thinking the same thing, so...

I can't be half a parent.

You know? I need to dive in.

Boots and all.

[both chuckling]

-Half an hour?
-[laughs]

-She'll be asleep in half an hour--
-[knocking on door]

[groans]

Billie, what are you doing here?

I'm going to London.

London? It's the middle of the night.

It's just--
I need to see Mick, Neens.

Okay.

He's in London, and I'm here, and we don't

have a life together.

I'm not even
the first person he tells stuff to.

So I'm gonna go over there

and try and work out whether
we're meant to be married.

-I'm gonna take you. I'll get my things--
-No, no, no.

My cab's there. It's fine.

Just promise me
that you'll keep an open mind.

-You might step off the plane, and--
-All the love comes flying back.

I hope so.

[sighs]

Oh, a favor?
Can you not tell anyone where I am?

-I want to sort all this out without--
-Cool.
