Okay, I'm sorry, Ally.
I'm genuinely sorry.

I'm sorry, too.

I said some things I didn't
mean that were very harsh,

and... I apologize.

HYGIENIST: Right, okay.

Now we need
Mrs. Shirani, please.

The dentist is ready for you.

[percussive music]

[Paul grunts softly]

[music continues]

[dental equipment whirring]

[Paul inhales deeply]

You know, my grandad had all
his teeth taken out when he was 22.

- What?
- Yep.

That's insane.

They all did it back then.

It was, and I quote,
"to save any mucking about."

- Wow. Wow, imagine that.
- Hmm.

- Imagine going clubbing in dentures.
- [chuckling] Yeah.

[old man voice] "All right,
darlin', you dancin' here?"

[giggles] She'd have
all of hers out as well.

- My God.
- Just like, you know,

gumming each other up
out by the bins.

- [Ally laughing]
- [laughing] "The bins"! Shh.

Shh, shh.

[Paul clears throat]

Ah, it feels funny
laughing together, doesn't it?

Yeah. Yeah, it has been
a bit grim.

- Pretty grim.
- Mm.

Well, at least my hormones

were perfectly balanced
to cope with it all.

- Thank God.
- [laughs]

Imagine how terrible it would
have been if they weren't.

[chuckling] Oh, my God.

If I set any of this stuff off
between you and Ava...

- If?
- Fair point.

[sighs]

I'm sorry I made things worse.

Oh... oh, I don't know
anymore, Paul.

I mean, the more I try
to make... make it better,

the more I seem to screw up.

- I wouldn't like me, either.
- Come on, that's bullshit.

You are always around for Ava.

Yeah, but that just means

that I'm invisible
when I'm doing okay,

and it's only when I fuck up
that she notices.

[clicks tongue] I can't believe
it's her the mocks tomorrow.

Mm-hmm. She'll ace them, though.

I mean, she's got
all that nailed down.

You're very positive today.

- I am, aren't I?
- [laughing] Yeah.

I'm surprising myself.

Okay. You lot, action stations.

We're gonna go
to bed early tonight.

We're gonna shut our cake holes
to let this one

have a good night's sleep
before her mocks.

Me and Luke are gonna clear away

and let the ladies relax.

Hey, shall we have
some port and cigars

in the living room? [Chuckles]

Are you... how you feeling?

Fine.

You'll smash it.

- Jacob still not talking to you?
- Oh, he just won't listen.

He just keeps putting sad
songs on his Instagram story.

I tried swearing
on Harrison's grave

that I didn't tell Ruby
to dump him.

- I even swore on Lennon's.
- Well, don't swear on McCartney's.

That was a hoax.
Look, Jacob will come round.

He's just nursing
a broken heart.

Yeah, maybe he just
needs time to cool off.

Also, with the best
will in the world...

Jacob is a fucking weirdo, okay?

So he's not gonna want
to lose friends.

LUKE: Yeah...

[upbeat music]

- You ready?
- No.

- You'll smash it.
- Absolutely.

GRACE: I don't know.

I'm freaking out a bit.

We can do this. Come on.

Bye, girls. Good luck.

[upbeat music]

[music continues]

[birds chirping]

- Hi.
- You all right?

- Yeah. You?
- Yeah, not too bad.

- Well, I mean, sort of bad.
- Same.

I'm sorry again
about you and Ruby.

"The drought was the very worst

when the flowers that we'd
grown together died of thirst."

- Dylan?
- Swift.

- Jonathan?
- Taylor.

- Ruby loved her.
- Oh.

So, uh, do you want
to hang out sometime?

I've got some gaps
in my schedule now.

Yeah, definitely.

- Cool.
- What are you drawing?

[children chattering]

AVA: On the count of three?

- [sighs] Okay.
- Right.

One...

- Two... three.
- Two... three.

[phone beeps]

[sighs]

63. What's the pass mark?

80.

What'd you get?

94.

I won't get in, will I?

Yes, you will.
Of course you will.

I need to work so hard.

It's fine, Grace.
It's only the marks, it...

It just wasn't your day.

I heard they're putting in
a new gym at Corfield School.

Might not be
so bad there anyway.

[atmospheric jazz music]

Hey. Sorry, I couldn't get
off my call when you came in.

Did you get your results today?

94.

Ava! That is incredible!

Oh, my God. Well done, you!

What's wrong?
Were you holding out for 100?

Grace botched it.

Really, really badly.

Oh, no. Poor thing.

Which means we won't get
to go to the same school

if she fails the real exam.

Ah, I see. Um... right.

Well, I am... I'm so sorry.

- But it does...
- Please don't say it doesn't matter.

-It does matter to me, Mum.
-No, no, no, no. I wasn't gonna say that.

I wasn't, I wasn't. I get
that it's important to you.

But your friendship,
it will survive,

even if you're
at different schools.

In fact, it will probably get
even stronger...

I promise.

And I'm so proud of you.

I mean, I'm not surprised.
But I am so proud!

Um, hey, let's text your dad.

He's working late.
It will make his day.

- Yeah. Sure.
- And maybe we can

get him to pick up some
ice cream on the way home.

Because it's a well-known fact
that sugar cures everything.

Apart from diabetes.

Yeah, I'm full of shit.
[giggles]

- [Ava sniffles]
- You okay?

Ava, though, eh?

- [sighs]
- Mm.

Ridiculously clever.

- Hilariously clever.
- Mm.

I mean, that's what
it's all about, isn't it?

Watching your child outgrow you.

Out-think you. I mean, she...
She could do anything now.

-Mm.
-Medicine, law. Data science.

- Do you even know what that is?
- No one does.

- [Ally laughs]
- Yeah...

There's real hope for that one.

What, does that make Luke
the throwaway kid?

Fuck me ragged... No, of
cour... I didn't mean that.

Why... Look, you...
You realize you do this thing

where you take something I say and
warp it into something quite sinister.

- Okay, well maybe that is because...
- Mm-hmm.

...I am so hyper-aware of how
you can... overreact.

You know, sometimes... it feels
like I'm constantly treading on...

- You're on eggshells, I know, yeah.
- No, no, no.

Not on eggshells. On landmines.

- They're worse?
- They're a lot worse.

Gotcha.

Oi. Come on, missus. Finish up.

You need... [smooch]
brain fuel today.

I'm not sure chocolate spread
counts as brain fuel.

- Well...
- Hey, it's at least 13% hazelnuts.

[Paul chuckles]

You've got this, Ava.

PAUL: You know more stuff

than anyone I've ever met,
and I've met Einstein.

Einstein died in the 1950s.

You see? You see what you know?

- [Ava chuckles softly]
- You'll be great, love.

I just... I don't know.

- I have a bad feeling about today.
- Mm?

But I need to go
get ready, so...

[percussive music]

[music continues]

- [Paul groaning softly]
- You all right there?

Yes... stretching out
my neck and back. [Grunts]

- This is nice.
- What, me stretching?

That's nothing, you should hear
my knees click when I stand up.

No, this, just... you and me
getting on. I've missed that.

[Paul grunting softly]

That's why they make you
come every six months.

Keep your relationship intact.

[tooth scaler whirring
in background]

[Paul exhales slowly]

I don't want you to be walking
on landmines anymore.

- I don't either.
- You're not scared of me, are you?

You... you see now, this is a
potential landmine moment.

- Oh, right. Okay.
- It is.

Well, things need
to change, don't they?

So fucking Hurt Lockertime.
I'm gonna clear the mines.

Like Princess Di.

I don't think she personally
cleared the mines.

No, she would have used that
big-faced butler to do it, wouldn't she?

[chuckling] Yeah.

[Paul sighs]

- [tooth scaler whirring louder]
- Difficult, innit, all this?

Yeah.

I mean, you jump
into being a parent,

and you're... convinced that you're
gonna be the hero in your own film,

and then, bang,
you're the bad guy.

- [scaler still whirring] - How
much tartar has that woman got?

- It's like sanding fucking floor boards.
- [laughs]

Heroes can be boring,
though, Paul.

You know, sometimes
the bad guy is sexier.

- That's very true.
- Mm.

I need a piss.

[Ally giggles]

[Paul sighs]

So it would be making, like,
model aeroplanes and stuff.

Yeah. Or anything
you fancy, really.

Model Building Club
is gonna be ultra cool.

- Great!
- Accurate transport miniatures,

painstakingly assembled

in a quiet,
well-ventilated room.

- Everyone will want to join.
- Will they?

"Will they" balls.
I'm using sarcasm.

- Oh.
- But the fewer members, the cooler it is.

Model making is like the vinyl
collecting of the craft world.

- Oh, count me in.
- Excellent.

Thanks for believing me
about the Ruby thing.

Maybe she just needs to do
her own thing, you know.

Sort of explore who she
really is and what she wants.

Yeah, maybe.

[percussive music]

- Hey. Here.
- Thanks, babe.

You're welcome.

Her results should be up
by now, surely.

No, she was still refreshing
the page when I last checked.

It's like trying to get tickets
for Glastonbury.

- Can't we just have a look?
- No!

- We said she was gonna do it.
- [clicks tongue and groans]

So what did she get
in the mocks? 90...

- 94.
- Well, she'll be home and dry, won't she?

Oh... don't jinx it.

[chuckling] You sound
like my mum.

"Don't put the mockers
on it, Paul."

- [chuckling] No, just...
- "No."

I've got an odd feeling
about it.

She didn't seem
very confident going in.

- Hmm.
- Anyway... we'll find out soon,

and then we can stuff our faces
with curry.

- Yes, yes, yes.
- [chuckling] Hey.

Can you see where
the delivery guy is?

Mm, let's have a look. Uh...

- Yeah, he's nearby.
- Mm.

He's... Fuck is he doing?
Don't go that way, you...

That's gonna take ages,
isn't it?

Oh, 'cause... well, now apparently
he's driving over some buildings...

- [Ally chuckling] - ...like he's in
some fuckin' monster truck rally.

- So...
- [Luke and Jacob laughing]

It's good to see them back
together again. The odd couple.

I know. Plus, Jacob gives me the
skinny on all the best artisan cheeses

- in the whole of the south-east, so...
- [Ally chuckles]

How did such an old man
wind up in that tiny body?

- He's Jacob Button.
- Hmm.

- ALLY: Oh.
- PAUL: Mm.

- [exhales nervously]
- Hey.

[Ava sighs]

So...

- 56.
- Ahh. [Chuckles]

What?

Uh, that... that can't be right.

Did... Have you...
Did you make a mistake

with the login details
somehow or...

That's my score, Dad.

I knew it that morning.
I just felt... off.

- Oh, Ava.
- No, but... how can anyone

go from 94 to whatever it was
you just said?

56.

It was a lot different from the
mocks. I'm... I'm really sorry.

- There's nothing to be sorry about.
- No, no... yeah.

No need to apologize,
we're just trying to understand

how this could have gone
so very, very wrong.

I told you... I just felt off.

And it was way more difficult this
time. What else do you want me to say?

There's nothing else to say. You
don't need to say anything else.

-Mm.
-ALLY: It's fine. Hey. Come here.

It's gonna be okay.

Yeah, yeah.
You're all right, mate.

Yeah, we'll... Yeah,
we'll work something out.

- [water running]
- [knock on door]

Yeah, occupied!

[knocking continues]

[water shuts off]

- Hello.
- Hi, I was just thinking.

Do you remember that weekend
we spent in Venice?

Yeah. Yeah.
You had your purse stolen.

No, I mean, do you remember
that masquerade shop bathroom

-and what we... got up to there.
-Ooh...

[laughing] Yes. Yeah.

Well, this isn't
quite Venice, but...

HYGIENIST: Ally Grant?

Hey!

- This way.
- Hi. Yeah.

Hey... w-were we about to...

[percussive music]

-It's okay. We'll sort something out.
-[phone chimes]

I promise. You don't
have to... What?

- [Ally sighs]
- Oh, my God.

What is it?

- Grace passed.
- PAUL: Grace...

But in the mocks... right.

Is it possible that they
mixed up your results?

- Is that a thing?
- I'm so sorry, Ava.

I mean, for you,
I'm just... I'm sorry.

Can I go up?
I don't feel like eating anyway.

Let... Let me just
ask you one thing. Um...

Did you maybe...

I mean, is it possible, that because
you did so well first time round...

did you maybe, uh...

not try as hard
as you might have done?

Paul, that's ridiculous.

- Well...
- Of course I tried hard.

- All I ever do is try hard.
- Mm-hmm.

Maybe you can't handle the fact

that your perfect
little daughter

isn't so perfect after all.

- [doorbell rings]
- [scoffs]

Maybe he found a fuckin' map!

[sighs]

Sorry, but I had to ask.

- You okay?
- No, not really.

Grace is gonna go
to St. Margaret's without me.

Nothing is beyond repair,
sweetheart.

And it's just a tiny little blip

that you will barely remember
decades from now.

- I promise.
- Can I go to my room?

I really need to talk to Grace.

- Yeah.
- [front door shuts]

Right. What do we do?
'Cause this isn't good.

Yeah, I know, but it doesn't
have to be the worst thing, either.

Well, that's easy for you to
say. You went to decent schools.

Yeah, look at me now:
CEO of fucking Apple.

No, I'm... I'm just saying
that you actually don't know

what it's like to try and swim
ahead of the mainstream.

- She's gonna struggle.
- Why?

Wh... Because she's
not supposed to be

stomping about
with the regular dickheads.

Oh, why are you being like this? I
mean, you do work in the community.

That's why I'm being like that!

I don't want her
in the community.

Teenagers can be
real little cunts.

What if they bully her
for being smart?

What if they exclude her
from everything?

Well, then, I guess
she'll have to be

a fucking data scientist,
won't she?

[Paul sighs]

[percussive music]

[exhales] Hi, boys.

- Hi, Paul.
- Hiya, Dad. Check this out.

I put it together.

You did? Wow.

Yeah. Jacob and me have started
a Model Building Club.

Oh, brilliant!
How many are in it so far?

Oh, just us two.
That's why it's so cool.

- Jesus only had 12 disciples.
- Very true.

And he probably only rated
about four of them.

- Exactly.
- [sighs]

Uh, there's a curry
getting cold upstairs, so...

- Great. Coming.
- Uh, if you don't think

it's too rude of me, Paul,

can I just finish
this off first?

- It won't take a second.
- Sure, yeah.

Come up when Jacob's
finished his...

She's a beauty.

- [cell phone chimes]
- Is that a message from Ruby?

No.

Yeah, it is. How did you know?

I'm a genius.

Right, well,
I'll just delete it.

I won't even look at it.

Don't want you to be upset.

Thanks.

That's really brilliant.

And it's yours to keep, Luke.

Consider it a little token
of my gratitude.

Oh, really? Thank you, Jacob.

Hmm.

Right, time for curry.

[somber music]

I should go and check on Ava.

Now that she's finally
lowered herself to talk to me.

[Paul sighs]

[clicks tongue] Time for a pee.

Okay.

[dissonant buzzing]

- Mum...
- You failed on purpose.

So you could be with Grace.

Ohh, Ava...

How did you know?

Oof, well...

Sorry, did I just...
hear you say...

- that you failed the exam on purpose?
- Paul...

I didn't know how else Grace
and I could go to the same school.

Jesus Christ, Ava!

So you threw the fight.
You failed deliberately.

How could you do anything
so fucking stupid?

There's something else.
There's something worse.

Something worse? Oh, good.
Than pretending to be thick

and throwing your fucking
life away... let's hear it.

I told Grace what I did.
Or what I tried to do.

- And now she won't even talk to me.
- ALLY: Oh, God, Ava.

Well, I'm... I'm sure she'll get
over it when the dust settles.

Oh, oh, yeah, she'll really
perk up at St. Margaret's.

She said it was a really
messed-up thing to do.

- Oh, maybe she is smart after all.
- Paul, enough.

She was really angry
'cause I thought she'd fail.

[near tears] Like I was thinking
she was stupid or something.

But you didn't mean to
insult her. It's gonna be okay.

No... she said I was
really weird for doing it,

and she doesn't even
want to be my friend.

Well, you were just trying to
fix it. Look, we're on your side.

Sorry, Ally... are you high?

How can you even be entertaining
the idea that this is okay?

She has thrown herself
under the bus!

So the cleverest person
in the house

has made the stupidest
fucking decision in history.

Just try and see it
from her perspective.

We need to do one thing now,
and that is sort this shit out.

We can beg the school
for her to re-sit or...

Or claim temporary insanity,
I don't know.

ALLY: No, think about
why she did it!

And think about how difficult

it would have been
for Ava to deny

her intelligence,
her skills, her brilliance,

because her friend
means so much to her.

Just think about why she did it.

I-I've thought about it, Ally,

and it's a fucking
disastrous decision.

To throw her future in the bin

over a friend that she's not even
gonna remember in five years' time.

- You better come back here...
- AVA: No.

- You better come back here!
- AVA: No!

[sniffs]

That's a landmine.

[somber music]

[panting]

[atmospheric jazz music]
