(dramatic music)

- Hey, Mom, sorry I'm late.

I forgot what cabs
are like upstate.

- I'm in no rush.

Oh, fuck me, look at you.

How do you get more
beautiful with age?

Is it just you?
- Ruth can't fly.

- Of course,
I'm only her mother.

- She's about to give birth!
- Already?

I guess you'll have to do.

- So, how are you feeling?

- That feels like
a leading question.

I feel ready to go.

I've been here for
six weeks, alone.

- Mom.

I live in London, I have
a job, I called the center,

I arranged for you to come here.

They actually said
that it was better

to come see you on your way
out than on your way in.

- Well, I'm sure they know best.

- So, how was it?

- How was what?

- This place, did
they take care of you?

- It was fine.

- Hm, you're welcome.

- Oh, I'm sorry honey.

Did you want a thank you?

I am, I'm so, so grateful,
I really, really am,

I'm just tired, yeah?

This place is a fuck of a
long way from Manhattan.

I suppose you did
that on purpose.

- So, how are you feeling?

- Peachy.

(upbeat music)

- I have a theory that cats are

the most successfully evolved
creatures on the planet.

They do whatever they like,
they go wherever they like,

I mean, even a dog you
gotta put on a lead.

You ever tried to
put a lead on a cat?

I have.

Tea?
- Do you have coffee?

- They do whatever they like.

And then they have these human
slaves who follow 'em around

and give 'em a warm
bed and regular meals

and clean up their shit.

- Mike, why are you
called American Mike?

- There were two Michaels
in my class at school.

- Is that it?

- I used to have terrible
chapped hands when I was a kid.

My mum made me wear these
black leather gloves.

Gary Goodman said they
looked like the gloves

that OJ Simpson used
to murder his wife.

Anyway, bit of bad news,

Dr. Dick's having his
gall bladder removed.

So, I'm a little bit
behind on my supply.

- What?
- No, don't panic.

I got a plan B, I
just might not be able

to get 'em to you
'til this afternoon.

I got the rest of it,
(pills shaking)

got you some extra Ambien

'cause you said the
last lot weren't working

but I don't need to tell
you how easy this stuff is

to get hooked on.

So, only use it when you
absolutely need to, promise?

- Promise.
(pills shaking)

Thanks for the tea.

You'll text me when
that stuff gets in,

yeah?
- Right.

(chiming music)

- [Melissa] Robyn,
you son of a bitch.

This is Melissa, how's London?

Is it raining?

So listen, I got your
message about Gabriel Cole.

I don't want to get
into it on the phone

but he had a thing with one of
the girls in the office here

and he got a bit intense.

Put it like this, he's a man
who likes to get his own way.

- Hey, mm.

- Mm, no, I have to work.

(urinating)
Don't mind me.

- Stay the night.
- I can't.

- Stay the night.
- Gabriel,

I've been here for
two nights in a row.

I need to go home,
I need clothes.

- I'll buy you new clothes.

- I don't need new clothes,
I need my clothes.

- Well see, they
will be your clothes.

(toilet flushing)

- Ooh.
- Where were we?

- Wash your hands.

(Gabriel sighs)

- Ladies, this is
William Pendleton

and Beth Fannel.
- Sorry.

- William is planning
to run for mayor

at the next London election

and wants us to
handle his campaign.

- Look, I'm gonna
cut to the chase.

I want to be Party
Leader in six years,

Prime Minister in eight.

That's the golden goose
we're fattening up here.

London Mayor's the first
step to making that happen.

- We don't really do
campaign politics.

- Exactly, that's
why you're perfect.

Politics doesn't do
politics anymore.

It's all about PR.

The last thing people want
these days is a politician.

Give 'em the stats Beth.

- Greater London represents
73 U.K. constituencies

but it's also home to 59%
of the black population

of the U.K.

If we could engage those voters,

we would have a
significant advantage.

- And I have something none

of my fellow candidates
can offer, I'm urban.

The mistake everyone's making
these days is pandering

to the old people

who are living too long
and growing more

and more conservative
slash racist with age.

You don't need to be
a genius to figure out

there will be a tipping point.

Old people die.

Young people come of age.

- We believe within
the next seven years,

as generation alpha
reaches voting age,

the pendulum will swing
significantly enough

to command a majority.

- Then all hail Mayor William
who shalt be King hereafter.

Look, look,
these kids have grown up woke.

They spent their whole
teenage years listening

to the adults argue
about Brexit and MeToo

and Trump and climate change

whilst not doing
a thing about it.

And as a result,
they're frustrated.

They're angry.
- Which means they'll vote.

- And the good thing
about these kids,

all they care about is image.

When was the last time

you saw a young person
reading a manifesto?

Personality not
policy wins the day,

so long as they can feel

like they're being
progressive enough

to shout about it
on social media,

they will literally take
to the streets for you

and what's more progressive
than voting for the brown guy?

Not to mention Beth
here, campaign manager.

She's a woman and
she's disabled.

Show them your arm.

- (laughs) Please stop
doing this in meetings.

- So, what do you think?

- Do you even have tea?

- I have wine.
(sirens blaring)

So, (sighs), how's London?

- It's great, actually.
- You really like it there,

don't you?
- Yeah, I do.

- But isn't it cold?

- No colder than here.

- On the shelf, to the left
of the fridge, the little tin.

- This isn't tea.
- It's herbal.

- Mom, I literally just
picked you up from treatment.

- Not for pot.

Come on, baby, please!

It relaxes me.

That's my girl.

So, what do you
want to do today?

- I kinda have to work.
- But you just got here.

- Mom, the world can't

just stop every
time you do this.

- What's that supposed to mean?

- It's not supposed
to mean anything.

- Every time I do this?

I'm sorry, am I
inconveniencing you?

- Please don't.
- Wait a minute.

Do you think that
I was crying wolf?

Because let me tell you
something, sweetheart.

I goddamn meant it, okay?

(sighs) Sorry, I'm sorry.

I just, I'm anxious, you know?

It's these new meds
they have me on.

They just, they make me, ugh.

- It's okay.

(sirens blare)
- God.

You are so pretty.
- Not as pretty as you.

- That's true but
you sure are pretty.

Are you angry?

- No.
- It's okay.

You're allowed to be angry.
- I'm not angry.

- Is Ruth angry?
- A little.

- Ruth doesn't do a little.

- Wonder where
she got that from.

- Ooh, guilty!

I'm sorry, we can't all
be emotionally detached.

So, let's do something fun!

- What's fun?
- Ooh, let's go

for a carriage ride
in Central Park.

- Mom, I'm not paying 100
bucks for some tired old horse

to drag us around the park.

- Fine, I'm just trying to
come up with things to do.

When do we see each other?

We should do something nice.

- You should rest.
- I've been resting

for six weeks.
Let's go shopping.

- For what?
- I don't know?

Ooh, let's get manicures.

I have been dying
to get a manicure.

- I don't want a manicure.

- For Christ's sake, Robyn.

Can you just help me out here?

You're so fucking negative.

I'm sorry, I'm sorry
baby, I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

It's just, come on.

Everything's just,

everything's just kind of a lot.

- I guess if we're
focusing on London for now,

we need to show people

that you're not just
another polished politician

in a cheap suit.

- You need to show
them your London.

Talk about your ends.

- Oh, I didn't actually
grow up in London.

No, I'm from Buckinghamshire.
Well, I'm not gonna lie.

I went to prep school with
the majority of the cabinet,

King's scholarship
to Eaton four years,

classics at Balliol Oxford.

Look, I know I'm not
exactly, you know, Eminem,

but I've had my fair
share of scrapes.

I've eaten my share
of jerk chicken.

- Okay, let's focus
on your heritage.

Where are your
grandparents from?

- Cambridgeshire.
- Other side?

- (laughs) Oh, right.

Ghana.
- Have you been?

- No, no my mother
moved before I was born.

She didn't really have
any family left out there.

- Well, we're gonna
need to find some.

Second, third, fifth cousins.

It doesn't matter,

we're gonna need photos of
you with them out there.

- The more, you know,
comic relief-y the better.

- Got it.
- You're going to have

to talk about your
black experience.

- (sighs) The only thing is

I don't think my black
experience was that black.

- Look, Will, I don't care
if you're born on the moon

with a silver
tablespoon up your ass.

You are a black man and
you have experience.

Whether it's being
called "brother,"

or having your fist bumped
instead of your hand shook.

Being asked where
you're really from,

slowing down your walk home

so people don't think
you're going to mug them.

Being told your hair is fun.

Having people tell you
how much they love R&B

or super bort or jollof rice.

You are authentic whether
you know it or not.

We just need to get
under the skin of it.

- I mean, I will
say that at school

there was always the assumption

that I'd be excellent
at athletics, you
know, and I'm not.

So, that was difficult.
- Ooh, wait.

I think we've got it.

We're positioning him
as a crusader, right?

An outsider who stands
up for what's right

in the face of adversity.

There's a U.K. First
protest growing

outside Finsbury Park
Police Station as we speak.

- They're angry because their
colleague's been arrested

for religiously
aggravated harassment?

- He posted a poo through
the door of a mosque.

Anyway, imagine black
and white image,

nose to nose with the fascists.

No fear for his own
personal safety.

- Outmanned, outnumbered.

- Our hero delivers
an impassioned speech,

telling the protesters he
understands why their angry

but it's the politicians
who are really to blame.

- The politicians he happens
to be the antidote to.

- A speech for the ages.

- All captured on the
flurry of camera phones.

- And as a result, he
is viciously attacked.

- Sorry, what?
- Hate crime, nice.

- Police pull him
from the afray.

- Footage on repeat on
every rolling news station.

- A man who stood up

against the rising
tide of the far right.

- He'll be a hero.
- A symbol.

- A martyr.
- Just so I'm clear,

we're saying he should
go and get beaten up?

- Look, look, couldn't I just
present a mobo or something?

- Oh, we'll set
the whole thing up.

- Fake it.

- We'll hire an actor for you
to confront at the protest.

- Actually, this could
work very well for us.

'Cause focus groups were
saying William needs

to score better on the
masculinity front too.

- Yeah, I'm sorry, what?
- Fun.

We're going to need
to move quickly

if we want to turn
this around.

William?

- (sighs) You think it'll
give me, you know, Idris vibes?

- Definitely.
- For sure.

- Absolutely.
- Without a doubt.

- Okay, fine, but just make
sure they avoid the face.

- (sighs) Holy flaps!

This place is
meant to be insane.

They give you like
this personal shopper

who just like brings you
dresses whilst you sip champagne

and enjoy Himalayan
salt foot rubs.

God, I wish I could
date a gazillionaire.

You're his pretty woman.

- "Pretty Woman" is
about a prostitute.

- Oh, still.

- Why are you dressed
like you're about

to show me where the exits are?

- My mom and dad are coming
down to take me for dinner.

I got it from
samples, is it okay?

- Depends, do your parents
think you're a contestant

on "The Apprentice"?
- Tanya Bert just called.

She's freaking out.

Something about a tweet
taken out of context.

I better get around there.

Eve, will you run
point on William?

Melody, can you find us an
actor for the demonstration?

Try the people you used for
the Cumberbatch mugging.

- F.Y.I. Honey Pup have
sent a selection of products

as a thank you for
helping with their launch.

You might want to
head over there

before the vultures plunder
all the quality merch.

- Come on, band camp.

If anyone ever needed a free
high end sex toy, it's you.

You coming?
- No, I'm good for love eggs,

I better get around to Tanya's.

- Why aren't you
securing my spot?

No one takes anything
'til I'm there.

Mark the thieves
hands with a Sharpie.

It's not like you to turn
down a free butt plug.

- Got butt plugs
coming out of my ass.

Nice shoes.

So, are you and Gabriel?
- It's just a bit of fun.

- Right.
- Oh Christ.

What is it, Rob?

- Are you sure he's a good guy?

- Sure, 'cause that's
my type, right?

Good guys, I mean, that
really worked out well

for me last time, didn't it?

I'm sorry, that wasn't fair.
- No, it's just I--

- Look, Rob, I
appreciate the sentiment

and I'm glad that
we can be pals again

but I'm just not sure
that we're at that point

of doing the whole,
boy talk thing yet.

- Sure.
- Look, go deal with Tanya,

I'll get things moving here.

We'll see you at the rally

and I'll see if I can save
you some nipple clamps, okay?

(Robyn sighs)

Okay, ladies, we're doing this

in order of need and experience.

And I'm afraid I'm
trumping on both counts.

Got one, got one, doesn't
work.

Ooh, these are good.

Sandra, order of need.

- Hello again.
- Oh, hi.

How are you?
- I'm good.

Yeah, I just thought
I'd come for a mooch,

see if I could pick up
something for me and the boy.

- Great.
- What sort of stuff

was he into when you
guys were together?

Would he wear a
vibrating cock ring?

- You'd have to ask him.
- Oh my God,

I've got one of these bad
boys, they're amazing.

Have you tried them?
- But I've never

actually had a vibrator
before (laughs).

- That explains so much.
- Excuse me?

- Okay, you're taking this.

- I'm not really
sure I need this.

- Honestly, I couldn't live
without one if I was single.

Trust me, warm and
constant, glass of pinot,

the Weeknd on Spotify,

you'll never want to
leave your house again.

- Yoink, that's
Christmas sorted.

As you were.

- Excuse me.
(group laughs)

(phone ringing)

- Okay, listen to this.

Daycare for Teddy is going
to cost 1,100 a month,

a nanny to pick up
Kelly from school

and then watch them until
5:30, that's 10 pounds an hour.

Travel for me at peak
is 13 pounds a day.

So, that's 1,588 pounds a month.

A starting salary
is 22K minus tax.

So, that will leave me
with a very healthy profit

of 49 pounds and
six pence a week.

I mean, I actually don't know
how single parents do it.

Having a job is literally
going to bankrupt me.

Not to mention, I
have actually nothing

that is appropriate
to wear in an office.

I mean, all of my clothes are
like pajamas covered in barf

or dresses I haven't
worn since I was 21.

Can I wear red to an office

or will I look
like a handmaiden?

- Ruth, it's a job, not a date.

Relax, you dress
yourself everyday.

Just, dress like you're
meeting Mark's parents.

- Okay well, now I'm nervous.
- Look, I gotta go.

I love you, okay?

- Blessed be the fruit.

- (sighs) God.
- So, was it helpful?

- What?

Are you asking me if I'm fixed?

'Cause, honey, you know
it doesn't work like that.

- I wasn't asking that.

- You're asking me for
reassurances I can't give you.

Robyn, please, don't
put pressure on me.

- I'm sorry, I'm not
putting pressure on you.

- What do you weigh?

- Why?

- I'm making conversation.

- Do they make you
do a lot of talking?

- You mean therapy?

Oh, Christ!

Everyday, we had
to sit in that room

and listen to each other
make up interesting excuses

for why we're all such fuck ups.

Please, promise me you'll
never go to therapy.

- What?

Why?
- (sighs) I can't bear

the thought of you paying
money just to sit in a room

and have someone try to
convince you it's all my fault.

Anyway, it's all Jared's fault.

Bastard.

You haven't heard
from him, have you?

- Dad?

No, why, why have you?
- No.

I just wondered.

Me being in the hospital,

- How would he know?

- I don't know, people find
out about things, don't they?

People talk, Facebook.

The therapist told me

I'm grieving for the
loss of my daughters.

- What?
(mom sighs)

I'm not having this
conversation again.

- It's my abandonment
issues, empty nest syndrome.

- You never had a nest, Mom.

- I'm just telling
you what she said.

- So, this is our fault?

- I'm not saying that.
- I'm not doing this.

- Look, I didn't ask you to
put me in that godawful place.

- That awful place cost
me nearly half my savings.

Sam and I were saving
for a down payment.

- Oh, that's very sweet of
you to lay that at my feet.

- I'm not laying
anything at your feet!

I just...
It doesn't matter, Christ!

- Still got that
nasty temper I see.

- What do you want from me?

If you don't want to be
here, then just do it.

It's not that hard
to fucking die.

Not even you can get
it wrong four times!

I will not feel
responsible for you.

You cannot keep doing this shit
to try to get us to come back.

Why do you think we
left in the first place?

(dramatic music)
- Oh, honey.

Oh, baby.

Oh, oh baby.
(Robyn sobs)

Mama's here.

(dramatic music)

(Ruth retches)

- So, I'm in Whole Foods,
buying stuff for dinner.

I'm making french
beans and mange tout

with hazelnuts and orange.

- What the hell is mange tout?

- You know, the peas.

The little peas in suits.

- Oh, you mean snap peas.

- I have no idea what
Americans call them.

(footsteps falling)
But we call them mange tout.

And so does Ottolenghi.
- What?

- The recipe, it's from the
Ottolenghi cookbook

that Addie got me for Christmas.

I'm trying to do the whole
vegan thing, you know?

Save the planet.
- Okay, Tanya,

I think we're getting a
little sidetracked here.

- Okay, so I got
the french beans

and the hazelnuts
and the orange and the chives

and I'm going for the
mange tout or snow peas

and they're all out

except for one soggy
packet which is all brown

and past its sell by date.

You know, this is Whole Foods.

I mean, to certain
supermarket chains,

I'd expect this
sort of ball dust.

But Whole Foods?
- Tanya.

- So, I complained to
the shop assistant.

He apologizes, I snap a pic
and throw it up on the Twitter,

thinking I might get some
free vouchers or something.

Just saying, this is
disgusting, you know,

shame on you, Whole Foods.

- #BrownManGetOut?

- No, mange tout,
#BrownMangeTout.

- Oh, Jesus.
- It was an innocent mistake.

It wasn't my fault
people read it wrong.

- Well, why haven't
you deleted the Tweet?

- I tried to explain it

but it's hard to do
in 280 characters.

I just kept getting
these angry messages.

I freaked out, I couldn't
look at it anymore.

- Where's your phone now?
- I panicked

and hid it in the teapot.
- Okay.

We will just have to tell people

that your account was hacked.
- Hacked?

Who's gonna hack my account?
I tweet about peas.

- Well, do you have
a better idea?

- It's not my job
to have a better idea.

It's yours.

I'm clinging onto this Spring
Watch contract by a thread.

If the BBC sacked me for this...
- Okay, I get it.

Just give me the phone.

I'll draft something.

(dishes clattering)
- Oh, what do they want?

Oh.

Oh.
- What?

- Well, that's weird.

14,027 followers?
- Why is that weird?

- Because I only had 9
1/2 thousand this morning.

(phone ringing)
- Just a sec.

Yeah?

- I've got an actor, it's
Matt, we've used him before.

- Yep, I remember Matt.

- Eve's written an arc,
we're gonna jump in an Uber

with William to Finsbury
Park Police Station.

Matt's gonna be there at three.

Eve wants you to
brief him while I meet

the photographers.
- Three?

I just got here.

Okay.
(footsteps falling)

I'm gonna have to go.
- What? Now?

- It's an emergency.
- What do you bloody call this?

- Look, I'm gonna text
you what you need to tweet

and then after you post
it just sit tight, okay?

- No, Robyn!

- I'll call you
when I get off the tube.

(group yelling)
- No more Mosques!

- Christ.
- What?

- My keys, Gabe has
taken my bloody keys.

- What?
- Oh, he's done it before,

it's 'cause he wants
me to go back to his.

- Yeah, that's weird.

- Go find Robyn.

- This is exciting, isn't it?

Political espionage.

Feel like we're in "Bodyguard."

- Look, are we 100% sure
this is a vote winner?

- Are you kidding me?

This is gold.

It's like this is England 2020.

Not a flat white in sight.
- Ironically.

- Do you remember
your safe word?

- Marmalade.

(sirens blaring)

- Okay, I've got the script.

All okay?
- Yeah, fine.

Just, by the way, I
wanted to say thank you.

- For what?

- Telling Eve
about my appointment.

- Oh yeah, right.

- But also, don't
look at my stuff.

- Okay.
(helicopter humming)

- Melody?
- Matt?

- You're not Matt.

- No, sorry Matt
couldn't make it.

He had an audition come
through for "Call the Midwife."

So, he asked me to come for him.

I'm Leon his flatmate.
- But, you are...

- Did he tell you about the gig?

Are you sure you're
comfortable with it?

- Look, a job's a job isn't it?

I was just doing this profit
share underneath Waterloo,

so, I'm a bit broke (laughs).

Still waiting to hear
from a bit of "Dr. Who."

Semi-regular,
this gay blue alien

who has a thing for
one of her assistants.

Down to the last two but
they said I'd hear yesterday

so I think they've given
it to the other fucker.

(sighs) Kill me.

- You do know,
it's quite physical?

- Look babe, I played
the bad boy a ton.

At drama school we did this
production of "Macbeth"

for a certain counselors day.

I played one of the witches

and we were like these
chaps on BMXs.

We did a six day
longform improvisation.

We went a bit mental.

Day five we killed a fox.

My point is is that I've
got it, the full immersion.

You're not gonna use my
face or anything, right?

'Cause, I did this
advert for War Sausages

and we said that we
can't do anything

that contradicts
the brand's value.

- I'm not entirely familiar
with your value system

but, I think it's probably best

if we obscure your
face either way.

- I'm gonna go meet
the photographer.

(paper sliding)
Here's your script.

(phone ringing)
- How you getting on?

- Change of plan.

Matt is now Leon, he's
wearing a red hoodie.

- Red hoodie, okay.
- I gotta go.

It's Tanya.

- 19,000.

- What?
- I've got 19,000 followers.

(phone buzzes)
19,810, 11 actually.

- Okay, I've sent
you the apology.

All you have to do is just--

- I'm wondering whether
an apology might not

be the way to go?

- What do you mean?
(phone rings)

(sighs) Sorry, I have
to put you on hold.

Yes?
- We're on.

(crowd chanting)
The eagle has left the nest.

I repeat, the eagle
has left the nest.

- Okay, now, go,
now, now, now, go.

(crowd murmuring)
Tanya, what do you mean

not the way to go?

- I just think a lot of
people have been touched

by what I've said.

- About the snow peas?

- Look, my agent just called.

They're inquiring
about Question Time.

- You're gonna have to speak up,
I can't hear you.

- They're looking for
an alternative POV

to talk about the protest.

They think I could be the
palatable face of the far right!

- That does not sound
like a good thing.

- You always said I
needed more of a persona.

A brand.

- I meant like the woman
who wears wacky earrings.

Not the woman who burns crosses.

- Every drama needs
an antagonist, Robyn.

It's like Panto,
speaking of which,

I've just been
offered two of those.

- Tanya, people think
you're a fascist.

- No, that's not true.

Listen to my Twitter feed.

Finally someone with the stones

to say what we're all
feeling, GGoodman77.

Need ppl like you to
fight for our free spitch,

she must mean speech.

Love you on Strictly,
Sought 1982.

She thinks I'm Rachel
Riley, hm, like.

(crowd shouting)

- No more mosques,
no more mosques.

(Leon shouting)

- I've connected with
a zeitgeist, Robyn.

I mean, how often
can you say that?

- You were talking
about moldy peas.

- Regular guest slots
on LBC, reality TV,

God, I'm on the mail online.

(crowd shouting)
(phone ringing)

- OMG, it's me agent.

Hey lovely, talk to me.

Oh my God, what did they say?

Yeah, I can't hear you,
I'm at this thing.

(camera clicking)

- Why are you doing this?

What do you hope to achieve?
- Piss off, mate.

- I know you feel angry

and you feel confused

and the world is a terrifying,
scary place right now

and when the world
feels like that,

all we want to do
is lock the doors

and protect ourselves from
what's on the other side.

But the truth is, what
is on the other side

of those doors is the only thing
that can save us, each other.

We are not enemies.

You're looking in
the wrong direction,

you have been fed a narrative
(Leon screaming)

of hate and fear.

They want you to be angry.

They want you to be numb.

They want you to
blame those below

because while you're
busy looking down,

it is those above who
are stealing from you.

Stealing your rights,
stealing your liberties,

they are stealing your privacy

and they are stealing
your peace of mind.

They are stealing
your compassion

and your communities.

But let me tell you,

it is only as a global community

that we can beat the
existential threat

that we all face.
- That's it.

- We don't make the world
better by looking down.

You make the world
better by looking up, hm?

- Brown man get out.
(red hoodie man laughs)

- Brown man get out.

Brown man get out.
Brown man get out.

Brown man get out.
Brown man get out.

- Brown man get out.
- Marmalade.

(Robyn gasps)

(sirens blaring)

(crowd muttering)

- Broken nose,
three broken ribs,

bruising to the arms,
face and head,

eight broken fingers
and a ruptured spleen.

He's predicted to win
the mayoral elections
by a landslide.

Do you know that polar
bears can smell a seal

from over a mile away?

They can even smell it
through three feet of ice.

I'm not sure exactly
what happened here

but if there is a
problem in my office,

I will smell it and
I will deal with it.

Leave.

Robyn?

If there's something
you want to tell me,

I will listen.

I am invested in you.

- Nope.

- I literally am cleaning
chocolate off his balls

with hand sanitizer
and a used tissue.

Well, he was due on stage to
present in like five minutes,

and Caroline would kill me
if he hadn't ended up there

and then,

- Oh, I'm envious of you.

You know that?

I wanted to do what you do.

Travel, have a career,
an exciting life.

But, hm, I had you.

I was a baby, I was a
firework, white fire,

everyone wanted me,

and then just like that,

decision was made.

It was his parents who made us
go through with it, you know?

The marriage.

I'm sorry I was such
a horrible mother.

- Mom.
- Oh.

I just wasn't built
for it, you know?

I hated it.

Not you, God no, I loved you.

God, I loved you.

And little Ruthie, I,

I hated it.

There was never very much
of me in the first place.

Motherhood just took it all.

Before I realized, it was
like I didn't exist anymore.

Anyway, I don't know.
(laughs).

Life is exhausting if
you're not very good at it.

- Nobody is.
- That's not true.

You are!
You are good at it.

You have no idea how
good at it you are.

You were better at it at 12
years old than I ever was.

- Well, kinda had to be.

- Maybe that was my
little gift to you.

- Hey so, I was thinking,

maybe you could fly
back to London with me.

You could be there for Ruth,

help take care of Kelly?

You'd have to crash
with me and Sam

but, change might do you good.
- That would be wonderful.

I still can't believe
I'm a grandmother.

How the hell did that happen?

- I love you, Mom.

- Baby, I love you.

You're my little sunflower.

- Gabriel?

I thought we were meeting
at the restaurant?

If this is some kind
of weird surprise,

you best know that I
don't always react well.

My mom threw a surprise
party for my 11th

and when they jumped out
from behind the curtains,

I punched my
granddad in the face.

- [Gabriel] In here.

- Wow, Howard Hughes,
as I live and breathe.

Are you going to say
"hello," or look at me?

- I'm sorry, I'm just...

Hey.

- I got the new
dress you requested.

- Is that one of the
ones I picked out?

- I went off pieced.

You like?
- Sure.

- Are you going to be wearing
that for the restaurant?

It's just that the
whole Shia LaBeouf,

haven't showered in a week,

took a dump in a bag and
sold it on Ebay thing,

it's just a little 2014.

- I'm sorry,
I'm in the middle of a crisis.

I'm not gonna be able to
make it to the restaurant.

- I'm sorry?
- It's the prototype.

I've been going over these
schematics again and again

and they don't work.

They won't work.

I've got to get the weight down.

And if I don't get
the weight down,

everything here is fucked.

- I have a similar crisis

about getting the weight
down pre-Ibiza every year.

The key is no carbs for a
week and bring a one-piece.

- Eve, this isn't a joke.
- I cleared all my plans.

- I didn't ask you
to cancel your plans.

Oh, come on, don't ask me to
choose between you and my work.

- I'm not.

- You know how important
this is to me.

I'm trying to create something
truly innovative here

and everybody wants me to fail.

The press?

(laughs) Well, they
think I'm crazy.

Nobody seems to understand
how important this work is

but me.
- Okay.

Look, you're clearly
otherwise occupied

so I think I will just,
- No, no, wait.

I said I couldn't make
it to the restaurant

but...

- Why is there a gang of
Japanese people hiding

in your kitchen?

- I figured (sighs),

since I couldn't make
it to the restaurant,

I would bring the
restaurant to us.

- Gabriel, this is insane.

- No, this is Yoshi Kasa-san.

He is perhaps the
finest sushi chef

in the Western Hemisphere.

He and his team have elegantly
prepared tonight's dinner,

just for you.

So please, take a seat,
enjoy the view,

have some sake

and I will be with you as
soon as I am done, 'kay?

- So, you been here before?
- No, I haven't.

It's a really nice
treat, thank you.

- Sounds like you're
out every night anyway

from what you're saying.

I don't know where
you find the money

to be eating out all the time.

- I'm not eating out, Mom.
- It is to me.

- Let her live her life, Linda.

You're only young once.

So, we seen much of this Craig?

- We broke up, remember?

I told you.
- Oh well,

I'm sure there's another
handsome young chap

just around the corner, eh?

- I'm actually just really
happy on my own at the moment.

- Hope you're not in those apps.

- Mom, I'm 25.
- I appreciate that.

All I'm saying is,
you want to be careful.

I was a magnet for lesbians
when I was your age.

I was wondering if
you have any plans

to come back up
and stay for a bit?

I mean, your room's just
sitting there how you left it.

- You know I work everyday.

By the time I get up to yours,

I'd have to turn back
round again and leave.

- Yeah well, it
would just be nice

to see our daughter, that's all.

- You're seeing her now.

What's going on?

- Your father's
cancer's come back.

- What do you mean?
I thought they got it all out.

- They did but it's come back.

- So sorry.

- (cries) I'm sorry.
- Here.

- Hey.

Sorry I'm late it's just,

I'm having a bit of a day.
- Hey.

- Sam, what are you doing here?

- He told me your news.
- Sorry, I assumed that...

- That you would have told me
but of course you didn't.

- Look, I just want to
apologize for the other night.

You caught me off
guard, you know?

I was hurting, I was angry.

I don't think I really realized

just how fucked up things
had gotten between us.

- Okay.

- Look Rob, I haven't
forgiven you, okay?

That's something
that you need to earn

and that we can both
work on, you know?

But, this baby...
- No.

- Rob, this is what
we both wanted and.

- No.
- Maybe everything

that happened,
- No, you're too late, Sam.

You're too late.
- What do you mean?

- Why, what happened?

Rob?

What did you do?
- Robyn!

- Rob!

(screams)

(sobs)

(vibrator buzzes)

- I think it just catches

what a lot of people
were thinking.

There's a lot of people out
there who look around them

and feel that England just
isn't there country anymore.

That doesn't make them fascists.

Their grandparents
fought the fascists

to defend this great island.

All they want to do
now is defend it again.

- Can you turn that off, please?

- I think...
- Depressing, isn't it?

- You staying in the hotel?
- Uh-huh.

- Want to buy me a drink?
- Okay.

- Double Gray Goose,
rock, three limes please.

- Having a good night?
- Peachy.
