I'm sorry, Nina. I'm sorry.

I gave him my money, Ma.

I really...I really wanted it to be
right this time.

Please just get it over with.
Say I'm fired.

You're going to just have to wait
because what you've done...

..you don't get to just resign.

I can pick up the girls later.
Oh, no, it's fine.

It's not like I'm not grateful,

I just don't want them getting
too attached.

Oh, yeah, of course.

Shit.

Lennie, no-one can say which way
life will fall,

but there are some decisions that
you can control.

The end of your life doesn't mean
the end of your marriage.

I don't want to miss life.

I want to marry you, Ronnie.

Come here, Ruth.

How do we do this?

I don't know.

I've missed him so much, Ma.

It's never too late.

Don't forget about
New York.

I love you, Hannah Defoe.

Ball's in your court.

Do you love her?

Yes.

Over the last few months
here at LoveCast,

I've had the privilege to dig deep

and delve into that
age-old question...

..can there ever be the
good divorce?

A laying down of arms and
sanguine recognition

that not all divorce is failure.

Simply, some marriages are finite.

And why do we place so much weight
on the idea that things must last?

Surely what constitutes a
successful relationship

is knowing when it's over,

being brave enough to call time.

The desire of two people
who have spent their lives together,

good lives together, who are not
willing to throw it all away

for a few months of pain.

Isn't that what also constitutes
a good divorce?

One where memories are left
to exist untainted,

where children are guided through
the storm,

where two people can say,
"We did it well,

"we took care of one another,"

even if the marriage is no more.

I tell my clients, "Be brave,

"don't be afraid.

"Who knows what you might find
on the other side?"

You know I'm OK, right?

You know you don't need to stay
with me?

Where else am I going to go?

Er, home.

I'm going to a meeting. Good.

Thank you for pushing me on,

making me get back out there.

I know what you're doing.
You need to get back out there, too.

You need to go home.

Maybe meet the family, Rose.

What have you got to lose?

Huh?

The worst's already happened.

Remember, James's heart is
still beating.

There she is.

So?

SHE CLEARS THROAT

Wow. Uh-huh.

18-carat, white gold, the rock
is...

Congratulations.

Not married yet.

Shall we?

Oh, yeah.

I am ready to sign.

OK, so I've tried to protect
you as best I can in this prenup,

but Mr Mukherjee is
undoubtedly... Loaded.

Yes.

And on his... Third marriage.

Surprising for someone so...
Short. Yeah.

Young.

He's coming up to...? 29.

Mm-hm.

And we have put in an infidelity
penalty clause,

though it should be noted that
these are...they're unorthodox

and they're rarely upheld in court.

Bitten once, not twice.

I don't need his money,
and he doesn't need mine.

How's Davey?

Heart attack.

Poor guy.

Wow.

Go on, say it.

He's too young, you're too old,
it'll never last.

Yeah, you won't be the first
or the last, but...

..he makes me feel fantastic.

You, however...

..never got over him getting caught
with his pants down.

It's a little bit more complicated
than that.

Give it time.

Goldie... A very good family
lawyer told me that once.

Mm-hm.

I was broken after
Davey, humiliated.

You help me fight to get
my life back.

You said to me, "Everything you once
thought you were,

"everything you thought you knew,

"that's all in the past," and
you were right.

So now it is time to get back
in the ring

and give life a few more rounds.

Change is coming.

Don't be afraid of the change.

Come to my bridal shower.

You need to let your hair down
for a night.

Hannah?

Have you seen Hannah?

Nathan, wh-what are you doing here?

Hannah! What's wrong?

I think I'm having a heart attack.

I've got this...

I've got this, er... It's fine.

Nathan, slow down. I've got a pain
right here.

Do you want me to call an ambulance?
He's fine.

Take a breath.

It's like a...a belt across
my chest.

And I know it's... I should
stand up, really.

Breathe.

You're being ridiculous.
It's not a heart attack.

John Candy, Luther Vandross,
Chairman Mao,

I'm in a pretty nonexclusive club.

Don't be so dramatic.
You're hyperventilating.

It's a panic attack. Feels like a
bloody heart attack.

Just sit down.

OK.

Take some deep breaths. OK.

Try and relax.

I'm really busy.

Can I get back to my work now?

NATHAN SIGHS

I talked to Kate.

Right. And?

It didn't go very well.

She does know there's nothing
going on between you and me?

She does know that we...did not
sleep together?

Yeah, not exactly. She fled
on her bike

before I could finish my
train of thought.

Oh, God, where are you going
with this?

I may...I may have said that my
feelings for you are...

..complex.

Be-Because they are complex
for you.

I have complex feelings for you.
Don't you?

No.

Yes.

Yeah.

Like I have complex feelings
for many things, like veganism

and disproportionate amount of time

that Tilly's spending on
social media.

That...That doesn't mean...

I have also said that...

..I still...

..love you.

Not still. Not still. I always...

..will love you.

You still love me.

What am I meant to do with
that, Nathan?

You're having a baby with Kate.

If I was to say from today...

..you will never see her again.

How does that make you feel?

I don't get your question.

If this had never happened,
if you'd never met Kate,

if she'd never come into your life,

one word.

Sad.

Hmm.

Doesn't that answer your
question, Nathan?

Hannah. I have to go.

No, we have to talk.

Isn't that what lawyers are for?

Incidentally, you want to talk
to yours.

She counter-fired with a pretty
blistering attack.

Hannah, wait.

I don't want to do this.

I don't want to get divorced.

What if we're making a mistake?

Hannah.

You're fighting.

You're just frightened.

I get that.

But don't confuse that with
believing that you and I...

I'm not. Nathan.

We can't fix this, Nathan.

Thank you.

Hi there, I've got Mr Stern
at reception.

Tell him that I'm not in for the
rest of the day.

No more calls, all right?

Apologies.

The press have been going crazy.

But if you can't beat them,
join them, as they say.

Oh, yes, yes, your son.

Yes, I've just got off the phone
with Long Lost Family.

Could you take that to my office?

Don't you just adore Davina McCall?

Look, everything has turned
out rather well overall,

although I won't let him call me
mother or grandmother,

and rather irritatingly his children
find it highly amusing

to call me Melania.

One son, two grandsons.

Instant family.

Slightly claustrophobia-inducing
but it could be worse.

And to be honest, as a unit,
they are rather easy on the eye,

bar the wife, who could afford
to lose a few pounds.

But I have to say it has been really
marvellous for my profile.

Right, now, I think we go back
in hard.

While they do their little
financial tap dance,

we fire back on the value of her
share in the partnership.

I'd like to see you get at least
a quarter.

No.

No, sorry, no, no, no,
you're right, half.

Yours was a partnership that
enabled her

to have such a successful career.

I mean no.

You're a terrible woman, Melanie.

But what else is your lawyer for?

Terrible is my raison d'etre.

I don't want a quarter of
Hannah's shares.

I don't want to be talking to you
in this Godawful office.

You're a terrible, terrible
person, Melanie.

You've never asked me what I want.

You just tell people what they're
going to get, at whatever cost.

Let's be frank, sweetheart,
if you wanted it any other way...

I would have gone to Hannah.

Touche.

Hi, you're through to the

Hi. Hi, it's Rose...Cutler.

Hi, good to hear from you.

Hi. How are you?

Yeah, yeah, I'm good.

Erm...

Er, so...

Yeah, I just wanted to know

..well, the family, if they might be

The family are very eager to
meet you.

Mm. I'm so glad you've reached out.

Let me liaise with them

OK.

Yep.

Same old, same old.

Every time, same excuse,
the same self-deception.

Thank you, Lisa.

APPLAUSE

Oh, it is you.

I didn't realise you...

See ya. Bye.

I actually prefer the
Chelsea meetings.

There's a lot more
interesting people

and the occasional blue blood.

But I come here when I don't
want to see anyone I know.

So, I hear you were shafted.

Go on.

What? Oh, rip you apart.

SHE CHUCKLES

No, you have to do that
yourself, darling.

Step four - take a searching
and fearless

moral inventory of ourselves.

We're dry drunks, sweetheart.

We still do damage, often to others,

but most of all to ourselves.

I shagged my best friend's
boyfriend when I was 14.

At 22, husband of a woman
I worked for.

I can't remember his name.

Er, at 25...

..didn't know the wife,
didn't care anyway.

Lost count after that.

Felt nothing.

Always felt nothing.

Feel nothing.

I've stolen from shops,
from friends...

..from my family. Mm-hm.

So I guess you could call recent
events calmer.

Haven't had a drink in ten months.
That's great.

Yeah, weirdly, that's
been the easiest part. Mm-hm.

Dry drunk, that sounds about right.

Stone-cold sober I can still do all
of the above.

I don't like myself.

But worse, I've got this...

..tiny baby, tiny little thing
staring back at me with such love...

..because she doesn't know how truly
horrible her mother is.

Not yet.

I can't bear for her ever to see it.

Then you'd better put in the
work, darling.

One day at a time, sweetheart.
One day at a time.

Go home,

hug that little girl,

and do better.

That's what I tell myself anyway.

Bye-bye. Bye.

Hannah, I fired Melanie.

I-I don't want to do it like this.

It's a complete balls-up.

With you, Kate...

What do I do about Kate?

Oh, anyway, bye.

DOORBELL RINGS

Hi.

Can I come in?

A lot of plants.

When we moved into our first flat,

Nathan's mother bought us a
yucca plant.

Died within a month.

And for years, Nathan thought
it was because of him.

I didn't try and dispel the myth.

But I killed it.

Who knew yuccas don't like
coffee grounds?

Why are you here?

He watered it.

Not much,

just enough.

He does that.

Blanket fell off the kids at night,

he'd be the one to have to check.

He's quietly amazing...

..Nathan.

Hard to give up.

Hannah... I finished your book.

Didn't love it.

But it packs a punch.

What it doesn't say, though,
is we can coat it in words,

we can find a language
and a narrative

to house the inevitable fallout
of divorce,

but to really, erm...

..capture its quiet brutality...

..that's something that can't
be written.

That's something you can only feel.

You have to feel.

Otherwise, how else do you leave
a marriage?

Anything worth its salt
has roots that have grown deep.

They have to be

to tether you through the elements
that inevitably hit along the way.

But if it's died...

..it's died.

Still doesn't mean it doesn't take
a tug to lift it out the ground.

But that tug you're feeling, that's
not because something is alive...

..it's because it's died,

and it needs to come out to let
something new grow...

..some of our life in.

So, what I'm trying to say is...

..you can do worse than Nathan.

You might find you can't do better.

Why are you telling me this?

Because I love him.

And he loves you.

And so, by default, I care about
what happens to you and him.

And my children...

..who will welcome this new person
once they get their heads around it.

And I want to be there to support
them, you, this.

You don't even like me.

I don't have to like you.

I have to live with you.

And you have to live with me.

That's the deal.

That's the best I can offer.

Quite some terms.

I'm a lawyer,

what do you expect?

It's not neat...

..Nathan and I...

..but we're broken.

And we can't stay together broken

just because we're frightened
of change.

You're the change.

You're the change.

You didn't kill it.

The yucca.

Coffee grounds, loads of nitrogen.

Yuccas like nitrogen. Huh.

So just keep blaming him, then?

Probably for the best.

Like, really angry.

How could you be so stupid and...?

You never heard my message.

You never heard me saying
I was sorry

and of course I wanted that life
with you.

So much.

But you're not here.

You can't hear this, so...

..where are you?

Because, like, I can't I can't feel

I used to feel you, you know,
like when you walked in the door.

And now you're dead, and...

Actually...it's you I wanted

I've travelled the world

Dived in Thailand,

climbed volcanoes in Costa Rica,

had some of my best adventures,

lived my best life with you.

But this is one journey you can't
come with me on.

No. I know what death looks like.

Been preparing for a lifetime.

And I'll be ready...

..when it comes.

Sweet man. I won't let you do it.

I will care for you.

I will be by your side.

I will not let this happen
to you alone.

I can't.

So I reject your attempts
to push me away.

I reject your attempts to end us.

I reject your desire to leave me.

I reject divorce.

I do not...

..I will not leave you.

Everyone...

..has to leave someone one day.

Not yet.

Not yet.

THUD

Damn.

Like I said,
terrible spy.

You're the one creeping out.

Thanks for today.

Oh, that's all right.

Who knew smiley faces would go
so well with Jeanette's ragu?

Erm, sorry about yesterday,

about picking up the girls. Oh.

Yeah.

Quite the brush off.

But, no, I am sorry because that's
the last thing I would want to do,

brush you off, brush you in any way.

I... We...We very much want...
Where am I going with this?

Just stop. Stop.

I'm going to go.

OK. Right. Yeah.

Maybe...

..you have to let go of the
life plan

if you want the life waiting
for you.

Oh, no...

No, you've got me there.

Is that Tears For Fears or
Kurt Cobain?

Busted. Is it?

I knew it. It was stuck on the wall
of the dentist's yesterday.

You are wasted on the church.

If you can love that strongly,

you'll love again.

You should, erm, try these moves
on Jeanette.

Might get lucky.

One day.

Felix...

..thanks for coming in today.

My understanding is that you and
Lennie have talked now.

Yes.

We appreciate how difficult this is,

but on our advice, Lennie would like
to make an advance decision

to refuse treatment under section 24
of the MCA 2005,

otherwise known as a living will.

My colleague is a private
client solicitor

and she's going to talk you
through it.

But loosely speaking, it's an
advance directive

in light of Lennie's illness

that will ensure her wishes are
carried out.

It is also my understanding that
after discussion, alongside that,

you are also willing to look at
possible continuing

and palliative care with the full
support of your family, Lennie.

Yes.

But that if or when this becomes
too difficult,

you will proceed with your
original plan.

Yes.

As man and wife.

Absolutely.

As man and wife.

And beyond that, I'm right
to presume

that you will no longer
require our services.

Yes. Yes.

Then, with your lawyer
in attendance,

Angela will now go through what this
means for both of you in the future.

With your consent, we should talk
Felix through this document

and your instructions.

See you Sunday. Yeah.

The boys are really looking
forward to seeing you.

Yes, absolutely. Yes.

Thank you.

You've got this.

You too.

Hannah.

So, I was wondering if you
would like to grab dinner sometime.

Uh-huh.

I'm not looking to be poached.

That's, erm...
HE CHUCKLES

That's not what I'm asking.

Oh. Just let me know

Hello and welcome to my podcast.

Today, I'm interviewing two people
I know very well.

My daughter, Hannah Defoe, one of
London's leading family lawyers,

and my son-in-law, Nathan Stern.

Once married, now divorced,

and I wanted to talk to them and
ask them,

what is the secret to the
good divorce?

They say that you never really know
a man until you divorce him.

Hmm. Well, I can vouch that is true.

But no-one tells you how hard
divorce really is.

And expensive.

and honour,

for better or for worse,

as much love...

..into the way we divorce.

Amazing day. Mm. Here you are.

Amazing life.

It certainly cost us more.

More than any wedding, more than...

..all the memories, and the photos,

and the shared stories that we...

..lace our lives together with.

I tell my clients it's easy
to marry.

What's hard is to know
how to divorce.

Thank you for a lovely day.

Kids are with us tomorrow, OK.
Uh-huh.

It already is tomorrow.

Night-night. Night.

Goodnight, Hannah.
Goodnight, Mum.

So, what...

..no bad behaviour, no
acrimonious mudslinging?

Oh, hell no, there's plenty
of that.

But after the shouting,

after the war,

I tell my clients if they can lay
down their weapons,

their accusations, their...

..resentments, their regrets...

Love you.

Love you more.

..wait for the ringing
in their ears to be silenced

and for the dust to settle on what's
left of their lives...

DOOR CLOSES

..if they can stop...

HANNAH SIGHS

..and breathe

and listen to what life has to
offer next...

Sometimes they've been battling
for so long...

..they've forgotten

that...above the parapet...

..there's birdsong.

BIRDS CHIRP

# Our day found the night

# Our words lost the fight

# I know we're a good way through

# We stop and go again

# We started at the end

# I know we're a good way through

# In the cold

# Let go

# And we're finally over
the fault line

# And we're taking a breath for the
first time

# And we're finally over the
fault line

# And we're taking a breath
for the first time

# I know you

# And you know me. #
