me
did you get the horn um
yes thank you thanks again for earlier
a great bedside manner oh wow i aimed
please
sounds promising oh excuse me
should be well enough to give a
statement in the morning night
gosh i didn't recognize you out of a
uniform
i thought you left ages ago keeping tabs
on me no
of course not so
are you doing anything nice this evening
no
no i'm knackered a long day me too for
nothing
i wouldn't say that
so am i reading the signals right
signals i um
i don't know what you mean
fancy going for a drink sometime
assuming i'm not barking up the wrong
tree
you're not but
it would be a bit weird wouldn't it
going on a date with a colleague and
quite a bit younger but there's only one
way to find out
well um
yes i'd love to great i'll be in touch
all right then night
oh no no
oh
it's me emma i've got a spot sorry
a zit on my chin
why tonight of all night rubble that's
it i'm not going
oh yes you are acne
at my age so what now your one solitary
spot is acne
it's a volcano try another toothpaste oh
perfume something you'll dry out quickly
i've only got half an hour okay well
look you've got two options either
squeeze it cover it with makeup or
be upfront about it and show her that
it's proof that you're still young at
heart
bye it's massive
so
hi i am so sorry i'm late
i should have texted you to say that i
was running late
you um you must have thought i'd got
clear feet
well another hour i would have filed a
missing person
it's just um well my son phoned as i was
leaving the house and
he's in australia so there's the time
difference australia
wow is he on holiday gap year
no no no he lives there all right so
he's
31 oh he's uh he's a nurse
in hospital in sydney and a patient of
his had died and
he was upset i couldn't just call him
back no
of course not i can't believe you have a
son
almost my age no i mean
you don't look old enough
[Music]
ted definitely had a twinkle in his eye
for you i could tell but it was
more than a twinkle it was open season
oh i think he was just trying to get a
connection with the job again
i see flowers in your future and maybe a
card with kittens on
stop it but it is easy to see how
he ended up the drinking problem though
i mean the canteen culture
going to the pub straight after a shift
do you feel pressure to join in
ah no but it is one way to make sure you
don't take the job home with you
i know but obliteration i do it's not
just the police is it
i've seen it with surgeons therapists
gps
the shift patterns don't exactly
encourage you having a life outside the
job either exactly i mean how many
people do we both know who are still
single
oh or ones with broken relationships
where the job has been a factor
although the one beacon i see is rob
hollings
oh i've always looked up to him for a
lot of reasons
and he has a very strong and loving
relationship with karen
have you met her you could say that i
see her almost every day she's um
she's the receptionist at the mill and
um she's a force of nature
oh the sarge was talking about how she
was hogging the karaoke at a party
no one could get near yeah well she
doesn't need any encouragement or a
microphone
he said she quote cut a sway through all
the oldies but goodies unquote
i mean george michael brian adams
oh someone i've never heard of what are
they called m duran duran oh look i mean
when i say oldies
you mean the stuff that i was listening
to on my walkman
which is probably the same stuff that
your mum was listening to when she was
changing your nappies
what's a walkman no i'm joking
it was a record player call powered
still joking you know the age thing
isn't an issue for me
and yet we keep coming back to it yeah
how's your food yeah it's good
why are you even here emma hmm
especially when you've got mount
vesuvius on your face
um
oh thank you another bottle or straight
onto something sweet and sticky
oh you know i think i've had enough work
i didn't even
know if you drank or not yeah yeah yeah
i i drink like a fish
add some wine and i'm sure i'm hilarious
right so do you see anything you fancy
well i'll be honest the only time i
order dessert at a restaurant is when
the date's been a disaster
so i stuff myself with something over
the top like a pavlova
or a mountain of profiteroles and
that way the uh the evening hasn't been
a total waste
well that's certainly original
you know desserts can be a real tell
can't they can they
what people order like a slice of
cheesecake with two spoons
means you see i would really like the
cheesecake but i don't want it like a
pig
bingo okay well what if i ordered
um i don't know chocolate cake with or
without cream
single or whipped are we still talking
about the cream
what if it was this squirty color
people are looking
[Laughter]
two glasses of cassis please
thank you good choice so much for no
more wine
[Laughter]
it's sweet not sickly
well excuse me i'm just
i think that this is just one too many
so
what did you think of my croissant oh
very nice
the cream horn was that uh nothing
freudian
sometimes a cream horn is just a green
water fair enough
so the kitchen's through there decaf all
right
oh when you said coffee you actually you
actually meant coffee well what did you
think i meant
i take it last night went well
i was a little late but once i got there
yes i mean
as we started to get to know each other
it was um
don't tell me that you broke the first
date rule
really zara and you must know
we did kiss good girl and it was amazing
i mean it's one of the best i've had
i'm literally buzzing you sound like a
lovesick teenager
come on you know what i mean what's that
on your neck what is
shut up you're just jealous
yes and um don't tell anyone about this
it's not strictly kosher
you know what this is dropping oh you
made me jump
guilty conscience actually i was hoping
i'd see you
because aisha said you went on a date
last night
did she and i'm a bit confused
are you bisexual now because you had
that thing with gareth
yes thank you for reminding me oh sorry
all right if i had to give myself a
label then i would say i was
pansexual
oh hang on is that the one where you're
not attracted to anyone
no that doesn't make any sense oh is it
the one where you're gender neutral
or where anything goes look it up
valerie
oh well you've moved on from smiling
and now we are pigging out are we they
were a gift from a patient
they will be rude not to
oh no i am made
of stronger stuff clearly anyway i was
looking for you where did you disappear
to
none of your business so
are we going to be seeing jasmine again
well i could say the same
none of your business but you won't
because you are
dying to tell me tonight
you don't waste your time i just want to
see her what can i say well you've only
had one date
so well just be what
careful well and that's it being careful
for the rest of my life
sometimes zara you just have to eat the
damn chocolate
you see for me it's never really been
about the gender
it's about the person i mean
take this tea go on well
for argument's sake right it's peach
flavor and
i like peach flavor yeah i'm comfortable
with it
i'm used to it right but then one day
i hear about another flavor passion
fruit
right and i think well
just because i know i like peach flavor
doesn't mean i can't try passion fruit
does it
no but are you experimenting with
different flavors
just for the sake of it oh no no no
i'm i'm just very attracted to this
flavor
but wouldn't you know by now what flavor
you're more
suited to huh i like all flavors
always have done it's just that i find
this passion fruit one particularly
irresistible
and i'd like to stick with it
are you paying me a compliment well i'm
trying to
i've had better but thanks okay
you did say you're free tonight yeah boy
good
i've organized a little surprise oh what
is it
well it wouldn't be a surprise if i told
you now what is all right fair enough
i had a great time
[Laughter]
yeah me too
i would love to oh you know
give me a ring all right
bye-bye you've only known her
five minutes well it's not like you've
always waited for things to develop
i would be more cautious these days
jumping straight into bed with someone
isn't so wise
we didn't just jump into bed we danced
what street dance jasmine took me to a
class
oh my god woman you could do yourself a
mischief it was fun
she was fun and what about
the age difference what about it does it
bother you
from what i hear it didn't bother you
when you slept with jack collins
well that was what before you were more
cautious
i would never do something like that now
oh well maybe you should
life is short zara and i intend to make
the most of it
maybe you should too it's me
leaving a message for the queen of doom
thank you for tainting me with your
cynicism
oh hi this makes a change not being
first
well you know i hate to be predictable
so our first morning date
that's the joy of shift work yeah what
are you gonna have
um uh i don't know
it's a nice day fancy taking breakfast
on the go
that sounds great yeah thank you
so how was your shift yesterday uh
pretty quiet
just a couple of drunks unlike us on our
first tea
total date oh no i hope you don't only
fancy me after a few drinks
it's just back there right i'm teasing
but i don't want you to think that i was
that you were embarrassed i wasn't but
i'm not
i just feel strangely self-conscious
i haven't felt like that in a in a long
time
you know it's confusing
emma people stare and sometimes
it's because they're not used to seeing
it or
maybe they think it's sweet or maybe
they have a problem with it
but people look and we carry on
is this okay if it is with you
the thing is jasmine i like you
quite a lot as it happens
and it feels strange because
i feel like a kid again i'm
disorientated and
oh no i've said too much and scared you
into silence
no i'm just savoring the moment the
woman i fancy just told me she feels the
same way
are you cold yeah a little bit yeah
favorite season um that would have to be
early autumn it's still quite mild
um the colors on the trees are beautiful
and
it has a sense of calmness about it
the summer when we have one full of
energy
excitement fun and barbecues
i love barbecues
my age really doesn't bother you i don't
know
how else to say it age is just a number
but i mean that's all i've got
oh my god they've propagated might go
join them
leroy they obviously need a match yeah
and what use would you be then
i wouldn't be your first right no
no you're not there have been others
well one in particular
it didn't work out
but we can walk before we run
can't we yeah
yeah we can walk call me later
emma hey oh hi um do you want to join us
for a nice lunch um
thanks but no there's somewhere i need
to be see that
reid cannot wait to get out of the
establishment we should follow suit no
no no no come on
emma hi if you're tired i i can go
oh no no uh come in really yes
yes come in okay thanks
for you just a thank you
for well a nice morning
is that the only reason you came round
well
you've seen my place so i thought it's
only fair i see yours
well i'll make us a cup of tea great
so did i pass the t-test the t-test
come on we'll judge someone on how well
they make their tea right
yeah well i suppose i could give you a
review but um
you don't really strike me as someone
who cares what other people think
i care what you think
okay so are you going to give me a tour
of shay jasmine um
well it's all pretty standard i bet it's
a few surprises
no i think you'd be disappointed
right well here we have lei
sitting the room under the stairs we
have
le toilet and then
upstairs
directly above us we have um
or perhaps you'd like to see
perhaps i'd like you to show me
forget using t as a judge of character
you okay
what temperature have you got your
heating on
it's off it's all us baby
well then we're sizzling
um i'll look i'll just be back in a sec
okay
oh my my
i'm really glad you came over are you
did you hear me
emma is everything okay oh yeah
everything's fine
there is only one thing i know that
could put that sort of smile on the
girl's face
oh is it that obvious blindingly
i am telling you on a scale of one two
three
the lurid details i'm just jealous
how long has it been a while not since
you know oh yeah sorry anyway
la la la la
please don't tell me you wanted to see
me to talk me through the next chapter
of the karma sutra
no well what is it because i have to
send these forms off before lunch
come in
i feel a bit foolish so what's new
has something happened i think so
you think so
so you know the feelings i've been
having for jasmine
i thought they were because she had
unleashed some long
suppressed passion and hasn't she
it's something else medical
symptoms hot flushes
fatigue mood swings
well you know what that is yes i do
irritability
it's hardly the end of the world i know
and it should hardly have come as a
surprise well of course not it
it's just the timing's not great you're
worried it's going to interfere with
your afternoons of passion with jasmine
well loss of libido can be an issue it
didn't seem to be for you yesterday
and i certainly don't have any problems
where that's concerned
oh of course you sailed through your
menopause didn't you that was different
i was unusually young what am i an old
hag
your words you know the drill
a healthy diet exercise vitamin d
supplements and cut down on alcohol
you're joking
no stiff drink is exactly what i need
are you considering hrt i'm not
considering anything yet well then what
are you talking to me about then
well i'd like a bit of sympathy maybe
what
hold your hand while you wallow in
self-pity you've come to the wrong
person i'm afraid
well clearly because you are on full-on
ice queen mode so i shall just have to
wallow alone
on reflection i could perhaps have been
a little more sympathetic
to your current situation
is that an apology that's a cup of tea
how are you well at the moment i am
coming to terms with the fact that my
transcendental passion for jasmine
turns out to be the dying pangs of my
fertility
not that you're catastrophizing or
anything all right a bit
well you said yourself that you had a
great time yesterday true
and you and i both know that the
menopause can be a springboard to a
whole new lease of life
so pull yourself together keep smiling
and
stay fabulous is that you being slightly
more sympathetic
yes can't you tell don't ever be a
counsellor
ever oh hi valerie
emma are we all dressing up tonight
what it's just i thought we had a
conversation yesterday where we all
agreed to go dressed as movie icons
only now i think i dreamt it so are you
going in fancy dress
fancy dress no um look we just said that
we were going to go smart casual didn't
we
valerie i have to go jasmine's here and
and well zara's just arrived in a taxi
all right we'll see you there
bye
where are you i met emma's
but i can't get out of the cab yet
because they're snogging
so i don't want to interrupt
tell me what's your eta at the icon well
depends how long it takes them to come
up for air
oh they look good together oh someone
sounds jealous
i am jasmine stolen my wing woman
who else am i supposed to make cutting
comments with or not well i could
volunteer if a wingman would do instead
i suppose that will have to do with
where where
what welcome welcome grab yourselves a
drink you're gonna need one
because sydney has organized a silent
disco
brilliant uh jasmine this is our al
jasmine
it's his party and i'll cry if i want to
probably over the silent disco
good to meet you where did we get the
headphones over yonder
enjoy right drink up everybody the ale
needs to go
you're kidding zara is the cute goatee
boy
no wonder daniel dunked her well it was
a little bit more complicated than that
don't you dare tell her that i told you
how old is he either go t-boy sid
probably younger than you if that's why
you're asking
like i'm just trying to make
conversation how many times do i have to
tell you
the age gap is not an issue for me i'm
sorry it's just it's just what
i'll look at you no thanks
i'd much rather look at you
okay you are on everybody
[Music]
i don't know who this is perry
repeating it is not making it any
clearer little mix
well obviously i've heard of them but i
mean i don't know their names
individually she's the one who went out
with zayn malik
from one direction how come you know
that because i'm a sponge
you know a trivia sponge soaking up
interesting bits of information
very cavalier use of the word
interesting valerie well look
forget little mix let's just go back to
the spice girls i mean even you must
know them oh you know what i think i
need some air
oh no you're not getting out of this
that easy no no really judgmental come
on
swing it shake it move it make it you
think you
are sick
emma
emma what's wrong
are you ill
right you're really worrying me now
i'm gonna go get some help no don't
i'm not ill i'm
menopausal i'm going through the
menopause
oh oh
yes i remember when my mom went through
that oh it seemed to go on forever
not helping i mean she had a real
nightmare yeah again
i'm sorry oh i'm sorry
so i am not ill like i am hot i am
anxious
i am confused i am not sleeping at night
and i can't concentrate in the day but i
am not ill i am
simply menopausal going through the
menopause which is just another bonus
feature of being a woman that men don't
have
you know what i think it's best if you
just leave me to it can we at least talk
about it no really
bother you please
right
so this is it then you
me my heart flushes and self medication
well you might as well move in be like a
couple of spinsters with cats
sorry no offense better not be talking
about me
why do men get to be bachelors women
have to settle for
sad old spinster what difference does it
make
we're all going to die alone oh come on
it's not that bad
we may be pathetic sad and lonely but
we do have our freedom yay for us
tonight was supposed to be a celebration
of friendship
above everything else let's stop feeling
sorry for ourselves
no need to ask how your weekend went
anything from jasmine just a few
non-committal texts
i'm struggling as how best to reply
that doesn't seem to be an emoji from
menopause just put a sweat
then chocolate then wine rage
tears and then chocolate again
oh come on i just feel terrible i mean
asking her to leave the party like that
it's not too late surely i should have
learned by now not to get my hopes up
i'm a relationship disaster zone
lottie
thank you
did you talk to jasmine yet what am i
gonna say
you'll think of something you can't let
this go emma
oh look at the pair of us
drinks tonight drown our sorrows
lovely
jasmine hi hi is it okay if i weigh
i wasn't sure what time emma would be
done she's free now actually
why don't you come through this way
she's in room one thanks
um i also bought you this
kim's highly recommended from my mum
i love it thank you
[Laughter]
listen jasmine look if it's about friday
i'm
i shouldn't have done a runner i told
you to go
and right after telling you that i'm
going through the menopause
look i don't have a problem with that i
just didn't know how to put it in a text
so here i am well you certainly didn't
need to bring me flowers
i was a cow and i was a coward
so we're even yeah
i can stop thinking about you this
weekend
i'm sorry no i can't stop thinking about
you
oh can we start over
look i've had some time to think and
um are you
sure you want to get into this with me
yes absolutely it's just
a lot of women have a really tough time
with menopause
you know low mood low energy
non-existent sex drive
way to go emma think positive
i mean i've had some women have the
complete opposite
they have a runaway libido or so my mom
says
can we please stop talking about your
mum
yeah sorry okay like
i don't care about that stuff
i care about you and
i know we have a connection you feel it
too right
but what about the future
forget about the future look let's just
spend some time together have fun see
what
happens
what are you doing tonight
if i call ahead we might be able to get
a table up front
right by the karaoke bands there is
absolutely no way i am singing oh but we
can do a duet
islands in the stream
hey hey hi perfect timing
can i interest you in a cupcake oh no
thank you we're going out
thanks you look frazzled oh do i
addressingly undone i want to update
that
so how was your morning fascinating
two interviews one confession and many
many
tears not yours i hope not one very
remorseful suspect
well at least i think he was sorry no
pay herself probably
yeah probably dia spain's demolished his
alibi
and then he tied himself in knots trying
to explain away his lies
it was a master class in investigative
interviewing
seems like you're enjoying it yeah i
loved it
it's just a bit frustrating um
shadowing's
interesting but i want to get stuck in
i really can't wait for my placement to
start i know but you haven't got it yet
no but i should hear any day now yeah
i'd really love for diaspace to be my
mentor
just don't get your hopes up she's all
for it
i know but you know it's not just her
decision is it no now come on let's go
in nice starving
thanks for lunch you're welcome sorry if
i droned on no not at all listen
um if you're free at the weekend oh we
could i'm moving
i had a bus stop with camilla came home
last night to find she'd moved the
boyfriend in
without telling me yeah i should have
seen it coming he's been lurking for
weeks
you know they're throwing a party
tonight to celebrate oh great
expect his monumentally awful band will
be butchering blur
again you know i used to like 90s brit
pop
well you can always move in with me i
mean you know i rent rooms
no thanks for the invite but staying as
a guest
paying rent it's a bit weird yeah
okay fair enough so what would you do go
to my parents
is that what it'll do until i can find
something else
you know you should come over for lunch
next week
oh okay it's a bit of a development
meet the parents i have to warn you they
are a little bit
can't eccentric so are we still on for
lunch
yeah it will just be mum dad's busy it's
probably for the best they are a bit
much together
you sure you still want to come well yes
you did invite me
yeah it must be out of my mind look i
deal with all sorts of people
all of the time i'm sure your mum will
be fine
famous last words listen i better go i
decided to make the most complicated
lunch ever
oh yeah what is it cheese on toast oh
seriously
i've got to list as long as my arm
listen by the way have you heard
anything about your placement yet
uh no nothing try not to stress about it
yeah okay bye oh
i can never find anything in this
kitchen patience
everything has its place trust the
universe darling

right well i need cumin or my
daughter is a non-starter you know i am
going to buy you a spice rack for your
birthday
oh thank you at this rate we'll be
eating at midnight
i didn't realize you and this emma were
so serious well we have been seeing each
other for six weeks
so why am i only meeting her now
can't you guess i've always been very
accepting of all your girlfriends
so has daddy what even the ones you
scared off
like libby the one daddy flashed he just
got out of the shower oh and normal
people use
towels they don't air dry none of those
girls was right for you
i can't eat any of this why not my
ayurvedic nutritionist
has me on a trip to detox i can only eat
lentil soup and chickpeas oh now you
tell me
if you need me i'll be meditating
oh cheese on toast would have been much
easier
ah doris i presume emma darling
oh call me lotus oh okay how wonderful
to meet you
yes uh likewise let me take your clothes
oh okay thank you
have he met before you look familiar
uh no no i don't think so
you really are substantially older
jasmine's always had a thing for the
slightly more mature
well i've still got my own teeth but for
lesbians i suppose the pickings must be
pretty slim especially from a small town
i do find my queer friends are much more
open to the idea of cross-generational
relationships
right it's jasmine around oh yes
somewhere
come along i'll fix you one of my famous
gin cocktails oh good are you a fan of
art
um yes who's your favorite painter um
this is my latest piece oh wow
i've always been heavily influenced by
de koning and miro
of course it's a child
in the womb right i wanted to represent
the bond with the mother
first love first friend um i know
someone who
who had a cat who could paint
so that's my pathology dr emma what's
yours
sorry this relationship is it serious
because jasmine's been hurt before and
i'm very protective of my cubs look
i have a son so i do understand oh
so you're bisexual yes
oh doubles your chance of a date i
suppose
or you're just incapable of monogamy i
can assure you i
am and it's very serious with jasmine at
least
from my perspective i'm still convinced
we've met before
oh probably at the mill no i'm not
registered there
a previous life maybe maybe
lunch is served oh what i've salvaged of
it
i'll heat up my soup oh she's um she's
not eating with us
no she's on a detox lentil soup and
chickpeas
we want to be downwind of her
so how's it getting on well she thinks
that we may have met in a previous life
well i didn't know you could fry salad i
had to bin everything
twice and start over okay
you're very sexy when you're crossed
i'm sexy period lunch was lovely
oh yeah just wait for the toxicology
report
i was um i was just complimenting your
daughter on her culinary prowess
yes all my children are very talented i
wonder where they get it from
what does your son do he's a nurse in
australia
oh if jasmine emigrated i'd follow her
to the ends of the earth
stalker we still have that umbilical
connecting us
remember what happened in vietnam oh
yeah i was backpacking and i got
appendicitis
i woke up thousands of miles away with
stomach cramps it was
total agony was just the cord slamming
back into her
umbilical whiplash
oh sorry um it's work
uh pc dejani oh hi sarge
let's do some yoga oh it empowers
digestion
well i i wouldn't recommend exercising
on a full stomach
it's only yin yoga unless you have a
problem with flexibility
i did struggle with that too during my
menopause i think you'll find i'm quite
bendy enough
uh lotus i don't have any yoga clothes
with
second pose is simhasana are you
familiar with it
my sanskrit is a little rusty lion pose
press your palms into your knees and
splay the fingers
like sharpened claws of a lioness the
proud mother of a
cub perhaps inhale deeply
and on the exhale
and again
once more
[Music]
his posture's very good also for bad
breath
the final posture is ananda balasana
happy baby pose
what's going on don't interrupt darling
i'm giving your girlfriend a lesson in
yoga for digestive health but hardly a
lesson i
have done it before can we've had
peppermint teach
right lie back slowly raise your legs in
parallel
flex the feet take hold of the big toes
with the four fingers and gradually
draw your knees down towards the floor
this posture is particularly good if you
have a flabby tummy
which is very common during the
menopause
that's where i've seen you before the
internet smears without fears
uh what's she on about it was a campaign
you know we did it at the mill and then
it went online
top tips to make your smear test more
comfortable emma was the model
or rather her vagina was seriously no it
wasn't like that you know
it was very tasteful you didn't see
anything it was a very brave thing to do
i'm not sure even i would be that open
especially during the menopause if she
mentions the menopause one more time
i can recommend some fabulous teachers i
found them invaluable especially when i
was feeling particularly dry
i'm sure jasmine would find them useful
too oh
i'm so sorry but i am loving the new
outfit
oh say thanks to your mum for the
tincture
will i see you before the weekend no
probably not works full-on
you know i was really hoping that call
was from the d.i hang in there

over the hill then

approve

to him he's usually right
ah thanks emma oh look i've got to go

celebrating our 35th anniversary
or all commiseration depends on which
one of us you ask

jokes but
for a lifetime but you keep telling
let them look right
[Music]
please don't freeze me out we can get
through this if we stick together
please i'm i'm awake i just you're angry
with me
what you blame me no then look at me
are we going to be okay
no wait wait wait i really want to take
a picture of them well we could just
drink them
don't be a grouch what are you going to
do with a photo of two drinks
okay well why don't we take one with us
in it okay
sorry to interrupt hi do you mind taking
our photo please
yeah actually miss uh uh none of us are
very good at taking photos
oh it's okay we're not very good at
posing for them either
we'd uh just rather not it's just a
photo derrick
no no it's all right we'll um
we'll get a waiter to take it i think
that's best
and why is that jasmine no i'd like to
know what the real issue is
do you need to see a doctor no i'm okay
you're not
i'm sorry what four
i should have been able to handle this
situation
i meant to be trained for this i was i
was useless
i just i froze we both did
did we provoke them you mean apart from
existing
we need to report this to the police we
we should have gone straight there that
the sooner we report it the quicker they
can take some action
right come on
what it's just ironic
what is that now you want to speak up
come on we can survive without a person
yeah well obviously but it's not the
photo that's the problem
it didn't mean anything look i know we
live
in a modern world but some of us like to
remain
traditional that's all we were asking
you for a photo
not your approval okay let's just enjoy
our meals shall we and move on
that sounds sensible to me anything for
my viv
that's how we've survived 35 years as
man
and wife she knows best
come on let's just order some more
cocktails and
look as i'm having a good evening
all right i feel it only fitting that i
mark this occasion with a few words oh
derek don't
don't worry don't have to do his part
bev
hypocrites congratulations
you congratulated a man like that what
was i supposed to do
don't give him the time of day i was
keeping the peace
you have to pick your battles oh and are
you the expert
okay we can talk about this when we get
back from the stage no i knew we should
have moved tables
you develop a sixth sense for people
like that
but most of your life has been living
under the cover of heterosexuality
so all right i see of course because
other woman i've never had to think
about potential threats
will add to being a lesbian and middle
eastern why are you making this a
competition
to make you understand i've been picking
my battles for most of my life
if i speak up will i be labelled a
troublemaker
a snowflake will i be made out to be the
problem
right i get it no you don't because you
congratulated him
look at me
look at me this happened to me
us
which is why we shouldn't be arguing
we should be at the station
no what
i don't want to report this
not quite the evening we were hoping for
you can say that
one idiot i know but at least the food
and the cocktails were good
yeah i mean we should come back here
again without the side order of
homophobe
nothing we could have said would have
changed his mind one that's okay is it
no of course it's not okay thanks
excuse me sorry
i wanted to apologize if derek offended
you
he can be a bit tactless his lack of
tact wasn't the problem
he's a good man really he is
a bit of an idiot sometimes but
sorry no no no it's us who should
apologize
no emma oh really we're just
sorry that you have a husband you need
to apologize for
enjoy the rest of your night
come on let's find somewhere where we
can dance
and definitely more drinks oh yes lots
more drinks
[Music]
first you're mad at me because i didn't
speak up
and now you don't want me to
let me explain i'm all ears i can't wait
to hear why a police officer doesn't
want to report a hate crime
particularly as the police have a zero
tolerance policy
from the moment i joined i fought to be
respected
i've worked hard to be good at my job
and do the right thing
report it but then everyone will know
they'll know that i couldn't defend
myself or protect you we could you
shouldn't have had to i should
if there was a medical emergency and
you'd froze and couldn't help would that
make you a good doctor
what would your colleagues say would you
want them to know
you're being too hard on yourself
you think i should have done more don't
you
now you're being unreasonable okay
reason
one in five lgbtq people experience a
hate crime
two and five for trans people and while
crimes are on the rise
prosecutions are on the decline
i could help those people even if i
couldn't help us
and what are the stats for unreported
crimes
emma to make this okay i need to do my
job
for me but for other people like us
i'm a protector i am not a victim this
crime doesn't define you
really so when i'm up for a promotion
you don't think they'll bring this into
question
hang on is this about you protecting
people or
or about your ambition they're the same
thing
you think your career is more important
than getting justice for what happened
to us
seriously
you are ridiculous and some of those
dance moves oh you know i've got them
oh well you might have had them but you
haven't got them anymore
where to next well uh we could find
another bar
uh or we could just go home oh yeah
taxi
[Laughter]
why is there never anyone you need one
come on let's walk to the rank
hey ladies do you need a ride that's a
drive are you
i'm old enough for plenty of things yeah
we're interested in none of them thanks
oh come on at least let me watch it's a
definite no
all right back off chill out
relax
jasmine this happened to us
and trying to sweep it under the carpet
for whatever reason helps no one
you know that
you're scared you're not thinking
straight you're not scared
really i am
while they're still out there i'm
terrified
what if our paths cross again or or they
attack another couple
or a woman on her own only next time
it's worse but we could have done
something
you say you want to protect people
look i'm exhausted can we just sleep on
it no
no just me
i can't sleep not while this is hanging
over us
please jasmine
why did this have to happen to us
what do we do just ignore them
tell me and i'll leave you alone jasmine
i'm talking to you
he tells
is it a full moon tonight
did it bring out all the homophobes
we have to go to the police now
have you not been listening to me
i can still smell his aftershave
the man who hated us enough to do this
who felt he should or could attack us
just because we're gay
we have to show that we won't stand for
it
and this is how
so regardless of my feelings you're
going to make a report
and if you do this no no no no
you don't get to give me an ultimatum
you have the choice
we either report this together
or i'll do it alone
[Music]
[Music]
honestly why do people bother with these
nhs discussion forums
and they got nothing better to do with
their lives i mean i
personally somehow managed to find the
time to release my best mate
from the claws of injustice hmm what
yes whatever have you heard from emma
why would i she hasn't returned my call
since friday perhaps she
has managed to find herself a social
life something that
you should consider you don't
have to be here if you need some more
time i just want to get on with my job
how's that man can we just get this over
with
well i've read your witness statement
and emma did the right thing reporting
it
so did you you've done nothing wrong
you're the victim and that's nothing to
be ashamed of
and i've also read your occupational
health medical report and they both say
i'm fine to work yes they do if that's
what you want but not on the streets
what not with those injuries but i'm
fine you don't
look it i can't send an officer out
there who
looks like she's well she's been beaten
up
yeah sorry
so if you do want to work that's fine
but it's office duties for now
you can use my desk so you can keep an
eye on me
you haven't heard anything more from
emma
no nothing do i need to
call her no no
i might pop around at lunch time just
make sure she's okay sure
send her our best wishes of course
what is there a problem
[Music]
why didn't you call me
you know i'd have been here in a moment
i know you would
that's why i didn't call
are you going to tell me what happened
no
but was it an
accident
you look awful
thank you sorry
you know that's not what i meant
it wasn't an accident tara
it was deliberate very
deliberate
and very personal
it's disgusting i thought that sort of
thing was gone for good
never goes away because we let it stay
you make it sound as though homophobia
is suddenly
acceptable no not suddenly and i didn't
say acceptable it's just that it's not
taboo anymore is it
you know people have been given
permission to act on their hatred and
their prejudice
you are so brave to report this
maybe definitely jasmine hates me for it
what why she didn't want anyone at work
to know and i reported it so
she'll understand really
she's not talking to me she was dragged
into occupational health
and she is furious
i think i've lost zara
i'm not a victim technically you are
i'm not and if i take that that's how
i'll be treated by you by everybody out
there by the d.i
she will understand because what
happened to you wasn't your fault it was
nothing
okay nothing i can't handle the cid
need to know that otherwise they're just
gonna fob me off all over again
look i'll do your filing your rotors
whatever paperwork you want me to do but
i am not
going home and when you think i'm more
presentable then i'll be back out there
on the streets
i've been beaten up humiliated
but i refuse to be the victim all right
and you don't get to humiliate me all
over again
a word of advice and forget about
getting back out on the streets for a
minute
if you want to get on
in this building then you need to watch
your tone
constable don't you forget that i
can have a word with occupational health
and i can recommend to them that you
need some quiet recovery time at home do
you understand
yes sarge
emma zara can you tell bear that i'm
still sick please
okay how are you doing i'm on my way to
an appointment
at victim support
well that's positive maybe
i hope so there is jasmine
look you know that you can talk to me
anytime
yeah i know look i better go um
i'll talk to you later take care
i keep asking myself
what would i say if
if this had happened to a patient of
mine
what would i say to them
i'd say you were a victim of a hate
crime
you were attacked because you were on a
date
with another woman and seen kissing
just kissing in public
and i'd say what happened
is wrong and it is wrong
i'd say it was unfair and it is
unfair and i i'd say that they were
completely justified in feeling
scared and angry and i am
i am so scared and angry
but as much as anything i'm
i'm angry with jasmine i'm
furious with her
we've hardly spoken since it happened
and
then maybe we were never really going
anywhere i don't know but
it she had
started to mean something
and now
now i i don't even know who she is
hey hey
sorry i never reply to your text it's
okay
it uh it's given me a chance to think
that sounds a bit ominous
um i'm sorry
and i love you
jasmine
they're lovely thank you
i spoke to the di this morning she said
the attraction affected my cid
application
oh well that's good
i'm glad you don't seem glad
let's go inside
please don't say we need to talk
please please don't do this
we never really talked about a future
together that doesn't mean i don't think
we have one
look this is just a reaction to the
attack we were having a good time before
this weren't we yes
we were but it's not about the attack
i just think we want different things so
we can compromise
things that really matter i mean for
example do you want children
[Music]
not right now but at some point yeah
well i've had mine and if you want
children then it can't be with me
you're breaking up with me i
can't believe you're actually breaking
up with me
i don't want to really i don't
but we want different things and i don't
know what else to do
you're trying to make this about
something that it's not no
it's because we want different things oh
rubbish
it's because i didn't do anything when
those thugs attacked us no it's not
about that although you didn't do
anything
after the attack and that's what really
gets me i mean anyone can freeze in the
moment i don't blame you for that then
what do you blame me for i'm not wanting
to report it
you're always going on at me about
thinking more about lgbt issues lgbtq
plus
and yet when it might affect your career
oh then you want to play it down
that's not fair i mean what does that
say about your integrity never mind
anything else
i thought you were more principled than
that
look i don't want to be the the lesbian
cop
i mean it's bad enough being the middle
eastern cop
i am sick of being put in diversity
boxes then don't allow people to label
you i never do
i don't allow people i get
labeled whether i like it or not
i'm sorry i didn't mean to belittle your
experience
but you did i'm sorry
i heard you the first time
please don't hate me
please don't dump me
jasmine
are you sure
really really short i'm coming off as a
little bit desperate here
maybe just a little bit
look jasmine for what it's worth
the best thing that's happened to me in
a very long time
i'm so sorry
