Hi, Leah.

How are you?
- Thank you for agreeing to meet.

There's a lot to talk about.

They're not allowed to listen.

Yeah, I know the rules.

Turn over, put your legs up.

Oh, I think that was the one.

Seriously, I think that did it.
I've got a good feeling.

So, as we all know, how we behave

whether we are good or bad

trusting or deceitful

is influenced by our relationship to power.

And power manifests itself in various ways,
of course.

The way we respond to authority

to hierarchy

to financial incentives

and more dangerously

to the use of force or threat

and this, of course, is called coercion.

As you already know,
this is a legitimate form of power

it exists in every area of society

not just in organisations
but also in domestic settings

and more recently, of course

online.

Now, let's not forget the principal analogy

that Bertrand Russell used to summarise
his theories on power dynamics.

Just as energy is the fundamental concept
in physics...

Good of you to join us, Rose.

...Russell saw power as the fundamental idea
in the study of societies.

As I'm sure you're all acutely aware

the exam's on the 25th, so let's squeeze in
a few more revision sessions.

I'll send out an email
and we'll organise it that way.

You got a minute?
- Yeah, sure.

Oh, and please don't forget to fill out
your student evaluation forms online

by the end of the week, ideally.

Thank you. Great work today.

Just quickly, Harriet and I were hoping
to get in a date

for your probation appraisal.

Yeah, great, um... thanks.
- Maybe next Friday, 2pm?

That works for me.

Nerve-wracking, right?

I remember that feeling.
- Yeah, well...

I feel like I've been waiting
for a permanent position for so long

I'm just really happy here.

Well, I've not spoken to Harriet specifically

but I don't think you have too much
to worry about.

Not if my opinion counts for anything,
anyway.

Which it may not, of course.

So you might be in trouble.
- Oh, well.

A little bit of trouble
never hurt anyone, eh?

Well, exactly.

I'll see you later.
- Yes, see you later.

Leah?

Oh, shit.

Come in.

Hi.
- Rose, hi, come in.

You wanted to talk to me
about my dissertation?

I do. Thank you for coming.

Did you like it?

It's an excellent piece of work.
- Thanks.

Really means a lot.

Take a seat.

And of course I've read some of your
previous work from your other modules

and this essay feels very different
from those

in terms of content, uh...

but also the style is...

is different.

OK.

So I'm just wondering
if you've had some help with this.

Rose?

So you mean, did I cheat?

No, I'm just wondering
if this is all your own work.

Yeah.

It is?
- Yeah, why wouldn't it be?

And you don't often engage with the class
or contribute all that much.

That is just because I'm listening to you.

I find you really inspiring.

Thanks.

Uh, did you bring your essay notes?

I forgot.

You forgot?

Well, I couldn't find them.

You forgot or you couldn't find them?

I couldn't find them.

Is there something
you want to tell me, Rose?

Because now would be the time.

No.

Thanks, though.

You know, if you think I cheated

I'd really appreciate
you just being honest with me.

If not, you may as well
keep your opinion to yourself.

Hey, Sandra.
- Hiya.

I made a mistake
on the 303 dissertation marks.

They haven't gone out yet, have they?

You're just in time.

Ta-da!
- Oh, great.

Can I, um...?
- Oh, yeah.

Thank you.

Man!

I feel rough.
- You know what?

I'm actually jealous of hangovers.

Late night, was it?
- Mm.

Late night, early morning.

Hm!
- Mm.

I was walking home in heels like that.

A beautiful walk of shame.

Walk of glory, more like -
you should've seen him.

So this girl, Rose Vaughan

you know her dad's company
part-funded the new wing of the library.

Really?

Two hundred grand
or something stupid like that.

Wow.

Thanks, everyone.

And as always, feel free to email me
with any thoughts

problems, questions...

Wow...

Even by your standards, this is...

pretty late.

I saw the fail grade.

You don't think that I'm capable
of writing that essay

when actually you don't even know
what I'm capable of.

All I want to do is talk it through,
ask you some questions.

It's different though, isn't it?

Writing something down's easy, but...

saying it out loud in front of people

opening yourself up.

I know you feel it too. I've seen you.

You get this red mark here.

You spin your engagement ring
round on your finger.

Take a sip of water,
trying to buy yourself a few moments.

Hope that no one's noticed and...

don't worry, most people don't.

When you're on that podium, where all those
great people have been before you

you can just hear yourself talking.

You're asking that question
over and over again.

What's that?

Am I good enough?

Do I deserve to be here?

I know the answer to that question, Rose.
Do you?

Or maybe I should ask your father.
He clearly cares a lot about your education.

What, and yours doesn't?

Do you really think it's a coincidence

that you ended up teaching
at the same university as your dad?

Hm.

You know, you could've just paid
for a lower mark

and I wouldn't have blinked an eye.

Had to have the best, though, didn't you?

You must have a very high opinion
of yourself.

Since when was it your job
to be arbiter of all academic integrity?

That's exactly her job, entirely her job.

In this climate, research is all that counts.

Apologies to my learned friend,
but that's bollocks.

When I was there...
- Yeah, but you're not there anymore

are you? Times have changed.

What does Harriet say about all this?

I'm meeting her later.

I've asked for a judicial review.
- That's my girl.

Sweetheart, sweetheart, you are so close

to securing this post, don't...
don't rock the boat now.

What's the point?

The point is "rocking the boat"
is the entire point of her job.

Yeah.
- I mean it.

It's for the students' own good too.

Try telling that to Rose.

That's her name, is it?
- Yep.

Rose Vaughan.

You might've taught her last year, actually.
- Yeah, maybe.

To be honest, by the end,
they all blur into one.

True.

Leah's always had something against me.

I don't know why.

Leah's always had something
against me and I don't know why.

Harriet, I really don't want
to waste your time, but...

I'm sorry, it's just...

really upsetting when you work so hard
at something and then...

you get called a liar by someone
you respect so much.

I'm not calling you a liar, I just...

Look, it's our responsibility

to ensure that all students' work
is completely original.

I know, I completely understand that, Harriet

it's... it's not that.
- Well, what is it?

I'm not sure I should say.

Please do, it's OK.

I guess I've felt like Leah's always
had something against me.

I don't know why.
- What?

You never ask for my opinion in class.

You don't listen.

You basically ignore me.
- But Rose, that's...

That's because you have nothing to say,
you never contribute.

You show up late, you don't engage
with what the others are saying.

This isn't about the other day, is it?
You know, in the...

Is there something I should know?

No, no.

- No.
- Can we talk in private?

Sure.

I'll, um...

just... I'll just drop by your office later,
Harriet, if that's OK.

Of course.

Yeah, I know she cheated anyway.

The first time I asked her,
there was no passion, no sense of injustice.

Then, in front of Harriet,
she's crying her eyes out.

You should've seen her.

Adam?

Are you listening to me?

She's just a kid, who cares?

I do.

She's not a kid, anyway,
you should hear the way she talks to me.

Oh, like what?

Like, implying that I'm only a lecturer here
because of my dad.

You think everyone's implying that
all of the time.

As if we're all off,
having our secret little meetings.

This isn't funny.

I've worked really hard to get here.

She's the one whose dad
built half the bloody library.

Wow!

You really don't like her, do you?

It's not fair that she can just
get away with it

and everyone else
has to work their bollocks off.

Come in.

Oh, sorry. I'll come back. Sorry.

Why?

I called you, Ben.

Shut the door.

You like what you see, then?

Yeah, sorry, sorry...
- Don't apologise.

Only weak people apologise.

You're not weak, are you?

No, no, I'm not.

Can I rely on you?

What do you mean?

Can you get me Leah Dale's address?

Leah Dale, sociology tutor, hmm...

What do you want that for?

Cos I wanna know where she fucking lives.

Leah Dale's address.

You can't tell anyone where you got it.

It's not exactly in my job description.

I'd be really grateful, Ben.

Thank you.

Why don't you read it?

See what you think.
- No, darling, I'm working on the grant, OK?

I thought you sent that in weeks ago.

It's a two million pound grant, Leah,
it's five year's work.

I wanna make sure we nailed it.

Shall we meet at the clinic tomorrow
or do you want to go there together?

Shit.

I totally forgot about that.

Darling, do you mind if we reschedule?

This is the reschedule.

What's going on with you?
- Nothing.

I've just got so much on at the moment...

Why would you want to reschedule again?

No, I don't want to, I just...
- Do you want to have a baby with me?

Oh, come on, Adam, of course I do.

I do!

Chuck it here, then.

"Why Scandals Today
Are Seen As Pervasive Features"...

oh, that thing's annoying.

Oh, I know, she does it on everything,
drives me mad.

So?

Adam!

Well, she's clearly...

a genius.
- Oi!

Wait till you see her essays

from her other modules.
- Bring it on.

Hmm.

Who was it?
- No one.

Probably kids.

The little fuckers.

You coming for a drink?

No, gotta get up early tomorrow.

Come on, everyone's going.

I'm good, thanks.

You are still not convinced
that we got the right one.

Are you?

They both look so innocent.

OK, so...

how shall we do this?

Well, we've got a half an hour.

What do you want to talk about?

Adam.

So sorry...
- Uh, it's fine.

We booked a double session,
so there's plenty of time.

So, we've had the tests

and I'm afraid to say
there are some abnormal cells.

Now, this isn't the end of the road
by any means.

I'd like to book another appointment

to go through all your IVF options properly.

Right.

It's OK, love, we'll get you through it.

Oh, uh, I'm sorry, Mr Dale,
I haven't been clear.

It's not Leah's results
that we have to think about.

I don't think I've got time
to drop you at work now, I'm sorry.

You said you would.

Yeah, I didn't know how long
it was gonna take, did I?

I've got a lecture in five minutes,
what do you want me to do?

It's OK, I'll walk.

We don't need to get angry.

I'm not angry.

You sound angry.

For God's sake.

It's going to be OK.

Yeah, for you, maybe.

What's that supposed to mean?

What?

No, come on. What?

Well, it's worked out nicely for you,
hasn't it?

You never even wanted kids
in the first place.

Leah...

I'm sorry.

Leah.

Leah!

- Come on!
- Shut up!

Leah!

Leah!

- Come on!
- Alright!

Hiya.

...gave rise to capitalism as we know it

because wealth was a sign of God's favour

that we were on the path to salvation.

Thank you, Ellie.

You disagree with that idea, Rose?

Or at least you did in your dissertation.

Well, it's, um...

it's complicated, I guess.

Not according to your argument.

Why don't you explain it to us,
just briefly?

Sorry, Ellie. Do you mind just repeating
what you sai...

You mean you weren't listening?

- All I was saying...
- Tell you what.

Why don't I read it out for you?
Would that help?

- I'd rather you didn't.
- Here it is.

"It is awfully generous of Veber to credit
humanity's voracious pursuit of profit

to a quest for spiritual
and religious redemption."

Yeah, it's exciting stuff.

You sure you can't shed any more light?

I mean... you haven't changed your mind
or anything?

You stand by what you said?

Of course.

Interesting.

Cos this isn't your essay at all.

This is a student from last year.

Excuse me, everyone.
- Sit down, you're not excused.

I said, sit down.

So...

I don't like talking in class
and I've told you that.

Right.

Does anyone else have any ideas
they want to share with the class?

Yes.
- Yes.

Uh, I just wanted
to pop back to what Ellie was saying...

Leah.
- Yes?

That was really cruel, what you just did.

I don't know what you're doing, Rose

but if you think you can intimidate me,
you're wrong.

- There you go.
- Thanks.

Gin and tonic.

Ooh, here he is!

So, he wants to see me again.

He's keen, what are you gonna say?

Um, nothing, for at least seven minutes.

Play it cool.
- Yeah.

- Cheers.
- Ah!

Thank you.
- Mm.

Don't be silly.

How you feeling about it?
- Strange.

Having a baby is all we've thought about
for so long

and just like that,
you find out you can't.

There are other options though,
aren't there?

Yeah.

What?

I was just thinking, I can't remember
the last time we had sex for fun

without consulting
that bloody schedule first.

Having said that,
I can't remember the last time

he made me a cup of tea, either.

Or came to greet me at the door
when I came home from work.

OK, here's the thing.

Sometimes I think we're one of those couples
who stay together for the sake of the kids

and we haven't even bloody got one!

It's ridiculous!

Maybe he's got a point though,
maybe I am a little bit relieved.

Maybe.

Don't you dare.

Hi, this is Leah Dale.

I can't get to the phone right now
so you...

Cheers!

To Rose Vaughan.

You're still pushing that, are you?
- Yes, I am.

What is the point in anything
if we all just cheat our way to the top?

It doesn't help anyone.

Every time I turn on the news,
that's all I see these days

bloody liars and cheats everywhere

running the country, the economy,
and I'm sick of it.

And this is gonna change all that, is it?

Absolutely not, no.

Well, in my little section of the world,
in my tiny compartment

I'm gonna make sure
that things are done properly.

Plus, you know what?

She's really annoying.

Oh, stop it!

Oh, let's have a look.

Come on!

Oh, you're such a tease!

Just share with me!

Hi, um... is Leah in?

Uh... no, sorry. Can I take a message?

Can I...

Yeah, come in, come in.

Thanks.

I'm Rose, it's just my essay notes.
- Oh, right.

Has she mentioned it at all?
- Uh...

briefly.

Um... uh, here.

Thanks.

Can I get you a cup of tea?

I'll have a whisky if you've got one.

- Tea's fine, I will...
- No, no!

It's OK, I'm sure I can rustle something up.

Come on through.

Leah will be back soon.

I'm just not sure exactly when,
unfortunately.

Hello there.

Sorry, I don't mean to impose, it's just nice
to be out of the rain for a bit.

No, not at all.

Do you want ice with that?
- No, straight up.

Fuck me!

I can't usually afford the good stuff.

Well, I don't get much of a chance
to share it.

Leah's more of a...

vodka girl, really.
- I love Leah.

She's such an inspiring lecturer.

She must have picked up so much from you.

Well, I'd love to take the credit but, um...

her father's mostly to blame,
she gets it all from him.

I don't know.
I was in some of his classes last year.

I'd say she's got all of his skill
but none of his ego.

Makes her the better teacher, if you ask me.

Don't you think a certain amount of ego
is required for the job?

There's a difference between
confidence and ego.

One of my friends is in one of your classes.

She says it's her favourite.

She looks forward to it the most.

Really? What's her name?

I shouldn't say.

She'd be embarrassed.

Well, it's very nice of her to say.

Do you think I cheated, Dr Dale?

It's Adam.

And... I couldn't care less.

Leah seems to care.

Well, she cares about a lot of things.

Yeah, I'll drink to that.

Shit!

Oh!

You off?
- Yeah.

Thanks for the drink.

Rose?

Don't worry.

I'm sure we'll sort this whole thing out.

Hope so.

Morning.

Hey.
- Didn't hear you come in last night.

No, I was out with Amy.

I... I really am sorry about what I said.

I think it was just the shock of it all.

I'm still trying to process it,
to be honest.

Yeah.

I'm sorry too.

I do realise how hard it must have been
for you while we've been trying

and I'm aware that I've put pressure on you.

I just want you to know that I'm grateful.

Let's go to the cafe before work,
hangover special, my treat.

That'd be lovely.

Oh, uh...

Rose Vaughan dropped these off last night,
the notes you wanted.

Here... she came here?

Mm.
- How did she know where we live?

Everyone knows where everyone lives
around here.

Do they?

Alright, Rose?

Sorry to disturb,
I just thought I'd bring you this.

It's the one I talked to you about.

You said you liked it, so I thought,
y'know...

Right.

And uh...

you know that other thing you asked for?

If you're really sure, Rose,
I'll sort it for you.

Thanks, Ben.

I appreciate it.

Alright.

I've kind of got work that I need to do.

Oh, yeah, yeah. Course you have.

See you later. Don't work too hard.

Did you give her whisky?

Hm?

Rose, last night?

Well, I offered her tea.
She asked for whisky.

What?

You know, for what it's worth,
she's a nice girl

she's very smart.

Betsy!

Betsy!

Those books you rang for,
that's the first one and that's these two.

Thanks.
- Thanks.

Since when have you been
taking those again?

Since now.

So...

what does that mean?
- It doesn't mean anything.

Look, Leah...
- Get off me, please.

Have you any idea
how hard this is for me?

I might not be able to give you a baby.

Does that even bother you?
Because it bothers me.

Yeah, yeah. It bothers me.
Of course it bothers me, God...

So can we...

can we talk about our options?

Oh...

Or is that it, we just... stop trying?

Tell me what you want, Leah.

To sleep.

I just want to sleep.

And I want to find my bloody cat.

Betsy!

She'll come when she's ready.

Do you think this is a coincidence?

What?
- Rose comes to our house

and the next day our cat goes missing.

Come on, will you listen to yourself?

Why did she come here?
It doesn't make any sense.

You wanted her to be more eager,
show more commitment.

You don't show commitment by showing up

at your lecturer's house
in the middle of the night.

Betsy!
- Will you stop shouting?

Well, where is she then?
- It's midnight.

She's a cat.

Leah...

Leah!

If you really want to find her,
she is chipped, you know.

Is she there?

She...

Yeah.

No, no, she's fine.
She's round the front.

Betsy!

Uh... should be just here on the right.

In the bushes somewhere here.

Oh...

Oh, God...

I'm sorry, love.

How many times have I said
we should have speed bumps on this road?

Thank God it wasn't a child.

I'll go round the neighbours' tomorrow,
see if they saw anything.

Where was her collar?

Hm?

She didn't have her collar on
when we found her.

Probably came off when the car hit her.

How would that work?

Why does it matter?

It doesn't.

It's just strange, that's all.

You want a cup of tea?
- Yeah.

Can I have a word, Rose?

What's up?

I want to apologise
for what happened in class the other day.

It wasn't fair for me
to put you on the spot like that.

OK, thanks.

Bit of a stressful time for me at the moment

with work, and, uh...

last night our cat died.
- Oh, my God.

I'm so sorry, what happened?

We don't know.

Car, maybe.
- You must be devastated.

Yeah.

Poor Betsy.

Right.

You don't miss him, do you?

It's OK.

You can't help how you feel.

It's amazing how quickly
you can adjust to life without someone

if you never really loved them
in the first place.

You don't know what you're talking about.

Tell me, Leah.

Do you feel guilty?
