How can I help you?
Someone said that you were the best.

Why does our nanny suddenly
want to go?

You know why, you... You know, Fi.

She didn't steal a handbag.
She slept with my husband.

You ever going to be able to
forgive me? I'm working on it.

Are we pregnant?

SHE COUGHS Oh, shit.

Hey, love. I need a swim.

Donde esta mama? Swimming.

MUFFLED SPEECH

We got back to that time when they
too lived on the edge of

constant discovery, reckless
and wild.

And as his hands caressed...

Is this on the syllabus?
Dad. It's for work.

"He knew he must grasp the memory of
her once sweet taste haunting him."

He goes down on her, in a bit.

Right. Tonight, your turn.
They clearly need policing.

You were out late last night.
Someone's keeping count.

Gym's clearly working, you look
good.

Yeah, well, you know, working on it.

PHONE RINGS

Mm.

"The sweet taste of deceit
was on her lips."

HE SIGHS Filth, utter filth.

I'm in the wrong business.

PHONE SMACKS COUNTER

Mum!

The fox has pooed on the car again.

CHILDREN SHOUT IN BACKGROUND

Ugh.

SHE GAGS

TV: And because your baby's
skin is so sensitive,

our range helps to protect
and moisturise... Don't.

..using only 100% natural
ingredients, we help you to care...

We can try again.
But I want that baby. Which one?

The James Corden one?
HE LAUGHS

His jokes would get on your nerves.
Mm.

Healthy skin, happy baby.

FOOTSTEPS APPROACH

Oh, Elvis is in the house! Too much?
Not for Vegas.

They're students, I need to blend.

Here's hoping Prof Ronnie will be
wearing his Speedos.

Your child will be addicted
to caffeine.

WHISPERS: Not yet.

DOOR RATTLES

James, back door is sticking again.
HE SIGHS

DOOR CLOSES

We have to move out.

That's it, smile.
CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKS

One more, buddy boy.

I think I could eat six of these!

You've blocked out 10am
this morning.

I've got book club tonight
with the girls.

I just need to pop out and get
a few beers. No, cancel.

We've got a sound check at midday.
Just do it later. Get takeout.

HE SCOFFS

Tonight of all nights.

You going out like that?

CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKS

HE CLEARS THROAT, PHONE DINGS

Card...

Hey.

Callum, Ralphy, we're leaving
in five.

HE SLURPS Mm.

PHONE RINGS

Hi. I can't come. You OK?

He's got me on complete lockdown.
Fi, is everything all right?

I don't know how to do this,

this divorce thing, I'm terrified
he's going to... One step at a time.

I'm here. You're just
laying the ground.

OK. Well, um, book club tonight.

Is he with you? Yeah.
Be great if you can come.

Babe. Fi...

Yeah, well, we can catch up then.
Babe, come on.

Only when you're ready.
You need to get ready.

OK. Send me the list.
Well, I'll see you at mine at eight.

OK.

Running late.

I didn't sleep that well.
And calling me at home?

I just wanted to hear your voice.

Ah! Room for one more?

Fi Hansen cancelled.
Oh, that's disappointing.

And the Brodeur meeting?
Set for nine,

I've drafted a petition for you
to look over.

You look tired.

Foxes keeping me up.

Did you know Marr is doing Zander
and the man whore's prenup?

Ah. Why didn't Zander ask me?

The Marriage. Sounds boring.
It's for a case.

Did you read The Affair?

New York Times bestseller
for 19 weeks in 2015?

Utter trash. Wasn't it about his
affair with...?

Editor, now soon to be ex-wife.

Will you let me know when she
arrives?

Which once again proves my point.
Never in the office,

and never think it's forever.

Grayling? Uh, yeah. Shipping.

Hm, classy. Great doing business
with you last night.

A long meeting, we overran...

Lilies. Weddings and funerals, hah.
Mm-hm.

Have them, if you like.

Hm.

You don't like lilies?
SHE LAUGHS

If I'd died.

Yeah, and... Post-it notes on my
computer. It's too much?

We're not... 15.

Oh, damn. And I made you a mix tape.

Is it, is it...? Is it hot?

Are you... hot? Hannah.
We need to talk.

Lunch? Fine. Yeah. Yeah.

Mrs Brodeur is in reception.

Stop following me. Go away.
This is insane. Insanity is...

Then you shouldn't have said such

awful things about me in your book.
DOG BARKS

Please, I can't...
You're a ridiculous man!

Let's go.
DOG BARKS

Mr Brodeur, we're in the process
of drafting a divorce petition.

Oui, superb. Marvellous,
then I should be honoured.

Maggie, perhaps you could show
Mr Brodeur where he could wait.

It was a gift from Jack,
deliberately to annoy me.

He's like the Mona Lisa. His eyes
follow you wherever you move.

Uh, we've drafted your petition,

and I just need your
marriage certificate.

"The biggest mistake was becoming
a wife."

Chapter nine. In chapter nine,
I'm menopausal and fat.

We had a glorious affair.

But there's only so long
you can sneak around.

They should put that
in the mistress contract.

It's the guilt that gets to you.
You always get caught in the end.

MUFFLED SHOUTS

You can't go in there!

I'm so sorry, I couldn't stop him.

I thought I'd take the dog out
for a petit poo-poo.

Just come to Paris...
for one more night!

Just one.

Chapter nine, Jack.
It's a story, my love.

It's our life, Jack.

You stole our life.

Ugh, pick up, Rose. When you're done
picking the flakes off your suntan,

can you call me back, please?

Lunch.

Are you listening to me?

Are you listening to me?

OK, you're not listening to me.

Look, I really need to talk to you.
Not burritos, proper lunch.

Just call me back.

SHE CLICKS PEN

BOOK HOLDER CLANGS Shit.

Hannah, hi. Just...

Is now a good time? Yeah. Yeah?

I was just going over the comparison
of quarterly profit,

lawyer by lawyer, adding up
billable hours. I was curious.

The Carlton divorce, that never
went to court? Uh...

Yeah, they were married
for... 28 years

and went to mediation. So it wasn't
necessary to drag them both

through court. Just, though, in that
particular case,

it falls between two stools, right?
I mean,

it's neither high-profile enough nor
litigious enough for you to dedicate

quite so much time.

Hi. Mergers don't come cheap
and it's NHD now,

so can we step it up?
SHE EXHALES

I was saying to Mikey much
the same. Right.

So a good old-fashioned
dogfight, then.

Oh, do you have five minutes?
Er, yeah, course.

Might be easier
to do this at your desk.

OK.

NHD, brilliant. In one acronym
he's managed to reduce this company

to something that sounds like
an STI!

SHE CHUCKLES

COMPUTER DINGS

Zander, Fi Hansen. I'd love a steer.
OK.

Originally, it was a producer-artist
relationship,

but he was the more famous.

But over the years,
they have built up the brand.

Now there's rumours in the press
about the nanny,

which they're scrambling
to shut down.

But in private,
she's confirmed to me

that he's been having an affair.

I'm gathering all the financial
information,

but she's not told him yet.

I think she's scared.

She has a list of unreasonable
behaviour?

And you're concerned that the nanny
will go to the press? Hm.

If she's gagged by an NDA.

Any newspaper worth its salt will
indemnify her,

if the story's good enough.
Which it is, by the sounds of it.

So when it hits,
I want to be prepped.

They're going to want to keep this
out of court and out of the press.

I can check in with Liz
in the media team. Great.

Because I think he's going to come
for her, I just get a sense.

I want to bring Nathan in on it.

My suspicion is that the opposing
party will be aggressive

in their strategy,
and Nathan's the best.

Plus, if this goes to arbitration,
I want him by my side.

I'm sure you can pull some strings.

One advantage of being married
to the best.

The Sinclair inheritance ad claim,
left the papers on your desk.

Can you sit in at one? Ah, sorry.
Lunch meeting.

Now, when Mr Carmichael says
he has a lunch meeting,

one senses he might mean...
STRESSED: a lunch meeting.

You're a man who eats lunch
at his desk. She's a keeper.

Interesting. I'll get her name.

KNOCKS ON DOOR On my desk.

Thanks, Mike. Oh, sorry. Not Mike.
Sorry.

Thought you were my clerk.
That needs picking up.

You're looking for your desk,
it was last seen buried under there.

Oh.

Sorry.

Thank you for taking me on.

Particularly as I'm not convinced
I was your first choice.

Persecution complex, very,
very unhealthy.

No, fair analysis of the situation.

Ah, to be clear, it is the remit
of the aforementioned barrister, me,

to instil a general sense of
ill-ease and discomfort,

even dislike, in a pupil, you.

Not as it may seem through any
great intent, but simply

because I am, and my wife
will confirm this,

incredibly scatter-gun and don't
like most people,

including my own children.
But you do like her.

That stuff, that caring what I think
stuff. This is a place of work.

So... save it for another time.
Maybe tonight.

I hear you're paying. Oh, yes.

The age-old tradition of the
pupil-barrister fleece.

Gay couple. German expecting twins.
He's run off with the surrogate.

Watch and learn.

OK.

Everybody clear about what we should
be doing?

I'll take that as a yes.

Now, who's going to be
the guinea pigs?

You're sitting in the front row,
I'm afraid you've asked for it.

THEY LAUGH

All right, you're the legal,
and you're the client.

OK, let's go.

I'm an acquisitions lawyer
with Goldman Sachs,

which is where I met my wife.

In fact, she was my personal
assistant,

but she stopped work after
we had children.

And when did the marriage
break down irretrievably?

A few weeks ago.

I'd like a divorce. OK, OK. Stop.

Any questions?

Nothing?

Hello?

THEY LAUGH QUIETLY

OK, play on. Um, um...

He'd like a divorce.

At some point in every marriage,
we'd all like a divorce.

But there is a difference
between what one likes

and what one really wants to do.

Ruth Defoe, everyone.

One of our most eminent
family lawyers.

APPLAUSE

Amy, is it Amy? Yeah.
I had a goldfish called Amy.

THEY LAUGH

I digress.

Are you sure, Mr Latham,
the marriage is over?

I... Um, yeah, I think so.

See? Hesitation. You're not sure,
are you?

Now, if this was a good friend
who told you what Mr Latham

has just told you, what would be
the first thing you'd say?

I'm sorry. Exactly.

We're therapist, counsel and most
important,

possibly the only running mate they
have in the very darkest hour.

And the second?

Are you sure? Bravo!
Always question.

People have affairs, people we know,
people we love,

but that is not always
the cue for divorce.

Sometimes it can be the road back.

But she's sleeping with my best
friend and stealing my money.

Oh, well, then. Screw her
for every penny she's got.

THEY LAUGH

Amy, go again.

Hello, Ronnie. Ruth, take a pew.

Can we go through the Adelaide case?

Sorry - a lunch meeting...
the other side of town.

Maybe later, then?

What?

Just watching you.

HE CHUCKLES

And I was just imagining what it
would be like if this was every day.

I'm just putting it out there -

an alternative to sneaking around.

We could go to... Don't say Paris.
I didn't say Paris.

You were going to say Paris.

Yeah.

You can't call me
when I'm trying to get my kids off

and act like all is OK.

You can't look at me like you are
looking at me now

when there are people around.

"She's a keeper"?

I was just fooling around.

We can't do that.

Stop it. You're giving us away,
and I'm not... ready.

I'm not ready to give us up yet.

Yet?

I don't drop hints at work
because... Oh!

..this, if you hadn't realised,

is officially a conflict of
interest. Mm.

You can bear the risk. I can't.

Hey, hey, hey. Hey.

Hey.

It's not that I haven't
had the same thoughts,

I've had them.

I think what would have happened.

What if? What if it had been
you and not Nathan?

What if it had been you waiting
for me at the end of that aisle?

I have... my life.
I have responsibility.

I have kids. I have...

PHONE CHIMES

People that you love.

Yeah.

We should get the bill.

Not yet.

Zander is besotted.

Kill me if I go away on holiday
and come back with husband.

He's one step away
from mail order bride.

Sure.

Much better to keep dating
weirdos and old men.

First insult of the day.

John. Weird John. 48. 7. He was 47.

Rex. Case in point -
right age, screw up anyway.

You're jealous, and alone.

And really sweaty.

Shut up, smug git
with your smart new husband.

Real husbands have beards.

All the flats I'm looking at

are owned by real husbands
who have beards.

James is never going to
grow a beard!

The point is, is we're
all jealous

even of the things we don't think -
or didn't think we wanted.

You're losing me.

You know, when you... when you
realise you want them, it's too
late.

Rose.

Not pregnant.

Not pregnant any more.

You really don't think
he can grow a beard?

I'm not ruling it out completely,

but he has such smooth skin!

Thank you so much. Well,
I learnt a lot. Really interesting.

We learnt from you. Thank you.
I'll see you next week.

Yes. OK. Thank you so much.
Thank you.

You've stolen my thunder.

You've been on your own too long.

Canteen's down there -
but I wouldn't bother.

Pub across the road's much better.

How are the girls?

Old. Good. All grown up.

I have three grandchildren.

Well, mine have all got
terrible New Zealand accents.

Tally lives in Auckland now.

Oh, thank you very much. Thank you.

Thanks. Give me a good mark.
All right. Thank you.

Like I said, pub over the road.

They don't always find you there.

Busted.

We were just talking about you.

Hanna was wondering
if you were free... Er, Fi Hansen.

Is that going? We're just preparing.

Absolutely. Interesting.
Hi. Hannah Stern.

I know - I heard you speak
at the Women in Law lunch.

Feminist perspectives
on cross-examination.

It was great.
Although I wasn't quite sure

about your interpretation
of Hunt and Moore.

Christie Carmichael.

Chloe Howell. New pupil.
She has opinions.

I'm trying to discourage it.

I hear Zander's new man
is busting your balls,

checking you're behaving yourselves.

Yeah. Yeah, we've got to go.

Nice to meet you, Chloe.

See you at home.

Shit.

Where have you been?
I've been calling you.

Did you deliberately not
answer your phone?

Yeah. Yes, of course.

When I'm back at my desk, I'll
have a look over it for you. Great.

Rose has lost the baby.

If I call, please pick up.

I'm not good at that stuff,
you're good at that stuff.

I did my best.

Maybe it's good. Maybe it's better.

I mean, a baby is a big thing.

It's huge - and if you're not ready,
then... Hey, are you around later?

Tyler and I are having drinks,
if you're free. Um... no.

Sorry. Nina? I'm busy. Er...

Christie's coming, and a few
of the other guys. Great. Rose.

Howdy.

Where are you? Right now?

Looking at my last flat of the day
and another property I can't afford.

I know you don't think you will,

but you will get another chance.

You see, people say
that kind of shit,

but they say it when they're
sitting on the other side.

You are formally on the other side,
Hannah.

Whereas I'm... barren. And dramatic.

Let me have my moment.

You're mid-chapter.

Bad metaphor.
Also happening a lot today.

Hello!

No, James and I are going to have
to live alone with our cats.

You hate cats.

Yeah.

The emphasis was on alone.

You're not alone.

Didn't you read the Defoe
terms and conditions?

Sometimes it's just not
the right time.

Sometimes you have to trust

that the universe will give you
another chance,

and you'll be ready
to grab it with both hands.

Yeah. Just...

I felt ready now, so...

Um... Yes. Big smile

LAUGHTER

Listen, just let me know
however many people,

and I'll make sure Ali puts
the names on the guest list, yeah?

Don't do that.
Don't keep inviting people.

Buzzkill.

With tabloids circling. Yeah,
but you threw the handbag stuff.

It's a line. They know it's a line.

Then cover better.

Your nanny is going to talk.

She signed an NDA.

Richie... Then fix it.

Do what I pay you
the big bucks for.

Danny boy! Hey!

What was that piece of shit
I saw you in last night?!

We're heading out.

But Misty Brodeur
is sitting in reception.

Did you ask her to come back?

I'll be there in five. OK.

The Hansen nanny's
talking to the papers.

I called Matthew Royston.

I'll work out a strategy

with the reputation management
team first thing.

Thanks.

OK, if I'm doing this,
you're doing this.

Are you coming? No. Sorry.

I'm, er... I can't tonight.

Hannah...

Christie!

Are they coming with us? Yes.

Have you got a problem with that?

Before you say I'm mad, he's French.

And it's very difficult
to stay angry

when someone is saying nice
things to you in French.

It's always been my Achilles' heel.

Then he persuaded me
to go for lunch,

and one thing led to another.

You want your
marriage certificate back.

You've done this before.

We weren't going to lodge
the petition until tomorrow anyway.

It's not the affair I miss.

It's the potential it had.

The thrill of potential.

I'll walk you down.

He ran screaming out of the court

and he chased me halfway
up High Holborn

until I promised him I'd get him
his plane and his Porsche back!

Classic!

Another one?

Yeah, thank you.

PHONE RINGS

Before you ask,
I'm only staying for one drink.

Good, because I suspect Liv's homies
have settled in for the night -

and I forgot to say,
I have book club.

Isn't that classified as a hobby?

You don't do hobbies,
let alone read a book.

I read books. Dan Brown -

preferably on a beach
or an airport lounge, at a push.

And if it's for work.

Fi Hansen invited me.

Book clubs this evening,
bistros at lunchtime.

Are you getting pissed?

Yeah - but in my defence,
Malcolm's picking up the tab.

♪ The pipes, the pipes
are calling... ♪

Is that Malcolm singing?

I'll be leaving in a minute.

Nathan...

LINE BEEPS

Hannah!

Come down the far gate. Sorry.

Sorry.

Hey. Are you OK? Thank you.

So, what's going on?

Richie's been on the phone
all day to his management.

GUESTS CHATTER

Have you spoken to your PR today?

No. Why?

I had some stupid photoshoot this
morning and then all this tonight.

Um...
WOMAN: Fi!

Your ice machine's really screwed!

Brace yourself.

LAUGHTER AND CHATTER

Angel!

What do you want, some cake?
Come and give Mummy a kiss first.

Mwah. OK.

Don't get it on the sofa.
Cake and cucumber.

Perfect combo.

Hated it.

Hated, hated, hated it!

Don't hold back, Tab.

Where was the romance?
Where were the laughs?

Where was the sex? I've been more
aroused by a bikini wax.

And, er, his last?

Oh, The Affair?
Loved, loved, loved!

Really? I thought it dragged.

Yeah. The Marriage was better.

Well, it had something.

Oh, it's not great, but, er,
the end took me by surprise.

I think it's trying
to say something.

No way is it better than The Affair.

Well, everyone knows Jack Brodeur.

They know what they're going to
going to get. But this...

This was at least attempting
something real.

To watch this couple, who had once
been so passionate,

become trapped in
this claustrophobic marriage,

to realise the mirage
of the affair -

that this... is reality.

With The Affair,
the fantasy just can't sustain.

I mean, it rang true.

Like I said, I've been
more aroused by a bikini wax.

THEY LAUGH

Carrie has given a
tabloid interview.

Oh, shit.

I'm sorry. A colleague's trying
to find out more.

Will they run it?

It will come out online.

It could hit... any moment.

This is potentially really damaging
for you and the kids.

If we're going to do this, Fi,
we have to do this now.

OK? You've got to trust me.
I've got your back.

Oh, man, you bitches still here?
ALL: Richie!

Oh, piss off home, we've gotta be
up at 5am. Good to see you!

Hello, darling.

Hey!

Hannah!

Ah, on my way out.

Pity. You're my favourite. Hah!

Have you got my coat and bag?

Oh, yeah, sorry.

Richie! Oh, my...
Where's the sambuca?

Shots? Yeah, party!
It's a school night.

So what did it say?

As soon as I get anything,
I'll let you know.

OK. Fi?

Fi. Tabby's doing sambucas.

Will you sort her out? Yeah.

In a minute. Fi, now.

Don't embarrass me.

Oh, could you tell Nathan
I've got those tickets?

Arsenal v Inter Milan. I will.

Good luck tomorrow.

The show. I'm looking forward to it.

Oh, thanks!

Hey.

Get 'em out. Get some sleep. Yeah?

You know how it shows on your face.

I don't want the gallery screaming
in my ear again,

telling me they can't get
a decent close-up. All right?

All right, ladies.

All right, ladies. Hey!
Boss wants to get to bed.

I know, what a buzzkill.

Oh, come on! Lies. All lies.

No, no. You bailed
on the first interview.

What can I say? A habit of screwing
up a good thing.

It was Christie who lured Hannah in.
Ah, interesting.

Ah, no - STOLE her.

She came pretty willingly.

That's what I hear.

Excuse me?

We've known each other a long time.
She's a great lawyer.

Married to a great guy.

How did it work for you?

Did you have to interview
or were you just headhunted?

Ooh! Ow.

Double ow. How's it going?

Have you worked out who should get
the chop yet?

Well, you guys aren't making
this job easy for me.

Everyone's so great.

No executions. Yet.

Oof. More a tightening of the belt.

Phew!

Well, you almost didn't
make it through.

Hannah was going with someone else,

but then Zander said that you were
new and needed the break.

This one has a sting in her tail.

This one? Forgive my fiance.

He's new to the place.

Weird. Cos he looks like
he's been around the block,

looking at your Facebook page.

Maybe you should get her a car.

Oh! I'm OK. I'm OK.

God!

It's called Uber.

Ooh...

Liv's bag.

Shit.

She is grounded until university.

She's 17, Nathan.
At 17 it's hash, at 19 it's crack.

Should we confront her?
I'm going to confront her.

Yes, we confront her. Tomorrow.

It's too late now.

You've got cheese sauce on your tie.

Did you find anything else?

No.

Mmm.

Then leave it till the morning.

On your head.
Well, what else do we do?

She's been grumpy.

You get grumpy with weed.

Is it weed?

How was book club?

It's a jungle out there.

And you have whisky breath.

You want to smoke it?

Nathan Stern!

HE SPLUTTERS

You feeling anything yet?

Not yet.

How did this happen? Ugh...

It's my fault. Yeah. Nathan!

What?! I've done my penance.

You've been late home
three, four nights a week.

It was work.

How was Ritchie?
Was he asking after me?

If you're coming onboard with this,
the weird bromance has to stop.

Of course, you don't like him.

He's a creep.

You don't know he's a creep.

I mean, he might not be someone
you bring home to meet mother,

but that doesn't mean he's a creep.

Nathan...

You don't like men.

Our line of work,
we meet a lot of arseholes.

You don't like men!

Yes, I do.

I don't like him, but...
I beg to differ.

Sylvia's husband.

Arsehole of the highest order.

My point being -
I mean, we never had them over,

because you don't like him.

I like her. Exactly! You like her.

Name me one male.

Bar Christie.

How could I forget Christie?

I mean, you even have lunch
with Crispy. So you must like him.

Yeah. Wow.

Can't remember the last time
you and I had lunch.

It's 20 years ago this week, Hannah,
since we got married...

..and I don't think you
and I have been out to eat...

..together without a child,
or an elderly person, or...

..any family member for...
You're stoned... a long time.

You and I haven't been on a date
since I continued...

..to disappoint you.
You haven't disappointed me.

You've hurt me.

Can you lock up?

You left your swimming costume
last night,

when you said you were at the gym.

I didn't go to the gym... in the
end.

Right.

I worked late.

You and I need to be
in more evenings.

Noted. I didn't think about
if I hurt you.

I didn't think about
what it meant for you or the kids.

I didn't care.

Whilst it was happening,
I didn't care.

And that's the thing I find
most hard to forgive in myself.

Because I didn't think...

..I could ever do that.

I didn't know I was capable of that.

But I think we all are.

I put it in with Vinnie's kit.
Your costume.

You should rinse it more.

The chlorine shoots the shit
out of the elastic.

What?

Your dad... has something
he'd like to say.

Olivia...

Is this going to take long?

Because I'm meeting Innes early
to get the Spanish vocab. Sit down.

What's a spliff doing in your bag?

Are you an idiot?

Is it yours?

Innes's brother rolled it.

I was just passing it on.
Dealing, as well.

It's one zoot.
These are important years, Liv.

Yeah, and you're screwing them up!
This is stuff you talk to us about.

No, it's not. Liv... I'm nearly 18,

and this is the stuff you don't
talk to your parents about.

Just like the stuff
you keep from us.

You know, like all that
gross stuff Dad did.

That is enough.

We found it all online.

You know that website's just like
Tinder, only ten times worse. Liv.

I mean, at least on Tinder
the selfies are better,

and you don't have to pay someone

to find you a hook-up.
Your dad's right. Enough.

Are we done yet?

Can I have it back?

We binned it.

I hate you.

DOOR SLAMS

Well, that went well.

Fi's here. Thanks.

Can you let Christie know
that we're sitting down?

Yeah, sure.

Are we OK, Maggie?

Yeah, good. Fine.

Just... too many cocktails.

Zander and Tyler, they are fun guys.
Ha.

I don't have a file for him.

Um...

..Mr Grayling?

I just think it might be useful,
in case anyone asks.

Is it true you almost went
with someone else?

I was the second person for the job?

What? Just something that Nina said.

It's fine. I just...

I hope I've proved myself.

My reliability. My loyalty.

My discretion.

I think you know that you can
always rely on me for that.

I will talk to Zander.

I know you want more, Maggie.

I'll do my best.

I will tell her you're on your way.

Transcript of the interview.

Well, part of it. Thanks.

It's going to be serialised
over the weekend.

Expenses only, but close to
a six-figure sum.

Oh, wow. Wow.

No, really, no problem. Thanks.

Fi Hansen is waiting.

I just spent all morning
getting you that.

Yeah, and I said thank you.

Yes.

Yes, you did.

Christie...

Fine.

OK?

So, this is an extract
of Carrie's interview.

It won't be easy to read.

Would you prefer I read it?

Miami. Summer before last.

The weekend my mum was ill.

In the car, after he dropped
me and the kids...

The kids were in the house.

It can't be true.

PHONE RINGS

This list you sent me, Fi...

RINGING CONTINUES

"Does not let me choose
my own wardrobe,

"books or medical
and beauty procedures,

"controls my bedtimes, does not let
our children spend time with anyone

"he does not approve of.

"Directs me on my choice of friends.

"Demands I do not see certain
friends and family members."

I've been doing this
for a long time, Fi,

and while every couple
has difficulties,

Richie's treatment of you
is unusual.

I believe it will be classed as
controlling and coercive behaviour -

and the good thing is,
I'm not your friend.

I'm your divorce lawyer, and no NDA
controls what you say to me.

When this interview goes out,

not only do I want you
to be ready, Fi,

I want you and your children
to be protected.

I am not sure
you are currently safe.

PHONE RINGS

Do you want me to help
you leave your marriage, Fi?

Then it's time.

Oh, God...

Did you get my e-mail?

Yes.

SHE CLEARS HER THROAT

Only, you never replied.

Didn't realise it required a reply.

I hope that you and I...
are not going to have a problem.

Problem? Why?

According to HR, you've had quite
a number of duvet days.

Key meetings,
you're known to be late.

I appreciate, in your old firm...

Er... Defoe is still
very much alive.

It's third name, top line. Nina.

Zander has asked me to review

the productivity and passion
of every staff member,

and if the books don't balance,

I will advise that he looks
to rationalise.

Are you in AA?

Excuse me?

Might be worth thinking about it.

So we'll adjust on those clauses
already flagged

and get this signed and done. Great.

Yes. There is just one thing. Um...

The schedule of Tyler's assets.
They seem a little thin.

One suitcase
and an array of nice shirts.

THEY LAUGH Yes, quite right.

I so hate stuff -
don't we all have too much stuff?

But as a 36-year-old management
consultant... And lawyer.

..who has worked in four of the five
big legal firms in the US,

I'm a little surprised
he hasn't accrued more.

There's little financial revenue
listed in the way of property, etc.

Neither is there much debt.

Tyler's job is to
rationalise companies,

help them make savings,
avoid undue expenses, etc.

It's just an observation, Zander.

Stall?

Absolutely.

And do a credit search. Twice.

I was at your old
law school yesterday.

It took me right back
to you, Hannah and Nathan.

I remember your graduation day.

It's lovely you're all still mates.

Yes. Oh, now, did you get the
invite? Anniversary party.

Top-secret, Hannah and Nathan.

Looking forward to it.

Plus-ones all round?

Absolutely.

Credit search. Twice.

I'm glad we're in agreement.

Always.

Found us a flat.

What? Happy jig.

Yeah? Happy jig!

HE HUMS A TUNE

SHE JOINS IN

Hannah. Mm-hm? The Brodeur petition?

We've paused on that, right?

Mm. I've just had a call
from Pierre Rivette.

He's Jack's lawyer in Paris.

He was asking if we could send
the marriage certificate direct.

I think we got our wires crossed.

I said to him we'd already
returned it to Misty

and he said he would get it from her
when she arrived in Paris.

I'm worried that...

Jack's planning to start divorce
proceedings in Paris. Shit.

VOICEMAIL: Darlings, it's Misty.

I can't get to the phone right now,
but please leave a...

Find out which train.

DISPATCH: Are you proceeding?

DRIVER: Yeah, pulling through now,
talent's arriving.

Other than that,
I've read it all through

and I'm confident, if you agree...

Sorry, could you just go over your
concerns about clause five again?

Sure.

They're booked to take
the Eurostar at 6:30.

Do you want me to go? No, no.

You just - you keep trying her.

PHONE CHIMES
OK.

Excuse me. Excuse me.

Would you mind coming with me?
I just need to see in your bag.

What?

Why? This way. Thanks.

Misty!

Where's Jack?

OK. I need your
marriage certificate.

Well, it's still in my bag.

Jack wanted me to...
Bring it with you?

That's because he has
a lawyer in Paris

who has probably already
drafted his petition.

You get on that train,

and very soon you'll be served
with French divorce papers -

and I promise the outcome
will be nowhere near as good

as in the English courts.

No.

He needs me on the book tour.

No. If you let him do this...

..you may well be left
with almost nothing.

I can still lodge
your petition here first.

He wants me to meet his new editor.
24, from Toulouse.

Not an ounce of fat.

What is it they say?

Marry your mistress...

..and you leave a vacancy.

Hey!

Get away!

Hiya.

You OK?

Final checks, please, everyone.

Number one to first position please.

Number two, are you set?
Stand by, everyone.

Well, at least try and smile.

Cue intro. That's ten seconds
people, ten seconds.

When the boys were downstairs.

Can I have a round of applause,
please?

Because the beautiful
people are here.

Ladies and gentlemen,
Mr and Mrs Hansen!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE Fuck you.

I want a divorce.

I won't stop sending you flowers.

Ha.

I won't stop looking at you
when you're on the phone.

I won't stop taking
the lift for a second time

just in the off chance
you might be in it.

I won't.

If you don't want any of that...

..then what are we doing here?

Because this should be,
if nothing else, all of that.

You have people that you love.

I get that.

But I have you.

Solely you.

I love... Don't... solely you.

What are you going to do with that,
Hannah Defoe?

Stern.

Hannah Stern.

I could have just gone, Hannah.
I could have left.

I could... have a whole new life now.

But you came to me,
you asked me not to leave.

Why did you ask me not to leave?

Because I needed to know.

Needed to know what?

If I had made a mistake.

And?

Did you?

PHONE RINGS

Don't answer it, Hannah.

Please...

For once, don't.

Hannah.

Nina?

Nina, calm down.

Nina... Good to know.

I'm there.
