Original subtitles

‐ [Eve] Where's the woman (tense music)

who found the body?

‐ [Peter] The COO, Samantha Thompson.

‐ I'm here to discuss the new HR girl.

‐ My specialty is changing the work culture for the better.

‐ I don't need to change the work culture.

‐ My friend died, 10 years ago today.

‐ Amy was a pillhead, drugs and stuff, you know?

‐ They should never have let

girls that young go out with them,

it's disgusting.

‐ She's hiding something.

‐ Hire a hooker, take some Viagra,

but get it out of your system,

because your wife is getting suspicious.

‐ Why was my predecessor fired?

‐ He wasn't fired, he left.

‐ What were you thinking, hiring someone who asks questions?

‐ What happened between you and Tess?

Did you assault her?

‐ There's nothing happy or healthy about this place.

‐ [Eve] Tell us about Amy, Sam.

You found her body too, didn't you?

(tense music)

‐ We're whores if we like it and frigid if we don't.

And when we're not desirable anymore,

that's it, we're invisible.

‐ I'm not following.

‐ We play the same game, all of us,

until the day we're voted off the island.

‐ When did you get voted off?

‐ I run the fucking island.

‐ Amy Dixon, 16 years old,

found dead outside Tivoli Nightclub in 2011.

Toxicology report indicated alcohol,

cocaine, GHB, and Valium.

Coroner ruled death by misadventure.

I can't believe you don't remember this.

It was a really big deal at the time.

Parents went mental, accused us of a coverup.

‐ I was in Makarov back then, working as a‐‐

‐ As a holiday rep, yeah.

‐ So you really think they're connected,

Amy Dixon and this?

(Eve sighs)

‐ Meat is murder! ‐ Murder!

‐ [Protestor] Meat is murder!

‐ Be kind and be vegan!

‐ Oh, my god, is she all right?

‐ Yeah, she's fine.

‐ What the hell are you doing?

You're supposed to be doing work experience.

‐ Lucky for you, young lady, no one wants to press charges.

‐ Meat is murder!

‐ Be kind and be vegan! ‐ Be kind, be vegan!

Animals are friends, not foods!

‐ Be kind and be vegan! ‐ Meat is murder!

‐ You are not sitting on your ass at home for two weeks.

‐ I'll be fine, Beth will be around.

‐ No, Beth won't.

Beth has her own life between the hours of nine and three.

‐ You have to do work experience, Gem.

I spoke to the school, they are very insistent.

‐ Just tell them I did work experience with you.

You're the COO, make it up.

‐ You should go, Gem,

see how hard your mom works

to keep you supplied in soy milk.

‐ I don't eat soy.

Only 3% of soy products are sustainable, so...

‐ I'll do work experience with you, Mom.

‐ You don't even know how to masturbate yet.

‐ Yes, I do!

(dramatic music)

‐ Put on some pu‐na, you're coming.

Maya, this is Gemma,

she'll be doing work experience with us

for the next two weeks,

so maybe you could find something unimportant

for her to do in human resources?

‐ Oh, no, no, no, hang on, hang on,

Sam, Sam, Sam, Sam, Sam?

Hello, nice to meet you.

Sam, hey.

You cannot just foist a random teenager on me

without warning.

We deal with highly‐sensitive personal information.

‐ She has very little interest in anyone apart from herself.

‐ Do you have her application?

I can probably figure out

the most appropriate department for her.

‐ She's my daughter, she didn't apply.

‐ Sam, we have a specific procedure for this.

A lot of young people apply for internships here,

it's not very meritocratic

to just throw a relative into the mix with no screening.

Looks like nepotism.

‐ It is nepotism.

Gentlemen.

‐ [Man] Ah, here she is.

‐ How are we all doing this morning?

Good weekend?

‐ Hey.

‐ Oh, hi.

‐ All right?

‐ Yeah.

Shouldn't you be in there wowing them?

‐ With what? My BTEC in sports science?

My average‐sized penis?

(Maya chuckles)

Like most middle‐class wankers

who inherit a business they know nothing about,

my talents lie in knowing exactly how to delegate.

‐ Mm.

‐ Mom holds the reigns, Owen's the brains,

and I'm the beauty.

‐ What about Sam?

‐ Scary.

Don't turn your back on her.

‐ Ooh. (chuckles)

‐ It wasn't my first choice, having Gemma around the office.

She's smart, don't get me wrong,

but she's not cut out for corporate life.

She wants to change the world,

not profit from its demise.

‐ Weren't you worried about bringing her into the workplace?

‐ No.

I'm a single parent, it's a juggling act.

‐ People can be very judgmental of single mothers,

can't they?

It must be hard when everyone around you is happily married,

coupled up.

Makes you feel isolated, alone, hard to fit in.

Bet Parents Evening is tough, all those happy families.

‐ No one's happily married.

I prefer my life like this.

It's less complicated.

(dramatic music)

‐ Tess is here.

‐ Oh, yeah, send her in.

Hi.

Right, so, um,

I've finally had a thorough look at your file,

and, um, I think it would be helpful

if you talked me through it in your own words.

‐ Why? It's all in there.

Along with that nondisclosure thing I've signed.

‐ Yeah, uh, no, I just,

I always find it helpful

to talk through these incidents in person,

particularly as I'm coming into the company completely cold,

and I just, I think it would, um, help us moving forward.

Yeah, so, uh, so remind, um,

how old were you when the relationship with Hugh started?

‐ Wasn't what you would call a relationship.

16.

And Hugh, he was late‐20s, I suppose?

‐ 30.

Same age as Owen.

Both Scorpios.

Avoid Scorpios, they're assholes.

‐ Yeah, and, uh, what was the main complaint,

the one incident which was enough?

‐ It's on that list.

‐ Yeah, um, well,

I suppose what I'm trying to figure out

is what made you make this complaint, uh, 10 years on?

Tess?

(Tess sighs)

‐ The first time he tried it on, I freaked out.

I was a bit tipsy,

he asked me to bring something into his office.

So I walked in, and he came up behind me,

pressed into me so I could feel him.

Felt

wrong, I...

‐ Did you tell anyone?

‐ My nan.

She said, "Happens everywhere.

"Just play the game, flirt, act like it's okay."

So, I did.

A week later, it happened again.

He put my hand on his cock.

(chuckles) I laughed that time.

I got out again,

but it just kept happening.

Eventually, I just went along with it.

It was easier.

‐ Didn't sound consensual to me.

Sounds like you felt like you had no choice.

(Tess scoffs)

‐ Consent.

Yeah, (scoffs) catchword of the century that, innit?

"Ah, you consented, you did it,

"you sometimes even enjoyed it."

The perks, the attention, the free drugs,

that feeling of being special, picked out.

I didn't consent to nothing.

I just went along with it because that is what you did.

And it screwed me up.

(dramatic music)

I should be management by now,

I should be married, kids and that.

He's moved on,

promotion, fancy house, nice wife, new baby,

but I didn't.

‐ What changed?

I mean, when did they start listening?

‐ If you were gonna take your company public,

would you want all your dirty, little secrets aired?

(Maya scoffs)

‐ The IPO.

‐ Bingo.

All this stuff in the news about women and abuse,

couldn't ignore me anymore.

‐ What about Amy?

‐ [Tess] That was my fault.

I should've been watching out for her.

‐ Did Hugh give you both drugs?

‐ He said if I took the hit for him,

then he would protect me.

‐ Well, Tess, that is an enormous burden to take on.

‐ They said at the inquest

it wasn't the coke that killed her,

it was the alcohol and the other stuff, the cocktail of it.

‐ Why didn't you take this to a tribunal?

‐ Who's gonna pay for that, my nan?

Listen, I made a deal,

I sign that NDA, they get rid of him.

In six month's time,

when the company's on the stock exchange,

I get a wedge of cash, a great reference,

and I can leave on my terms.

‐ Do you feel like you have closure?

‐ Closure?

(indistinct chatter)

Don't be daft.

‐ So, our initial target was to be

the first UK sportswear brand

to use only British‐made materials,

it would set us apart from our competitors,

but to be honest,

there just really isn't a market within our demographic,

and that makes it impossible to justify the cost.

We are reliant on China, and will remain so.

Well, unless our client base changes.

So Sat‐iogi, however, is our sustainable arm.

This is our recycled yoga wear

made from patented technology. (knocks on door)

Sorry, um, one minute, ladies and gentlemen.

(indistinct chatter)

‐ We have a problem.

‐ (sighs) Does it have a vagina?

‐ It does.

‐ Who has Tess shagged now?

‐ It has a vagina, and it does yoga.

‐ Maya?

‐ She's been to see Hugh.

You need to talk to her

and get ahold of this situation

before it turns into a PR nightmare.

‐ You get on better with her than I do, so‐‐

‐ No, doesn't look good coming from a man.

Contain it.

‐ Okay.

‐ Oh, and, uh, try and smooth things over with Hugh as well.

‐ I've discovered porn.

‐ Oh, well done to you.

It's nothing to be ashamed of.

I've always really enjoyed watching gangbangs.

Fascinating stuff, really quite acrobatic.

It's the Cirque du Soleil of sex.

‐ No, I mean I've discovered Gareth's porn.

‐ I don't understand, is there a problem?

‐ The kind of porn he watches, it's not nice.

‐ Carys, did you go on his computer?

Stop it.

You're trying to play detective and it never ends well.

Men have fantasy lives outside of the bedroom.

Women do too, for that matter.

Put those thoughts in a little box,

lock it, throw away the key.

(dramatic music)

I always thought I'd be rather good at porn.

‐ [Maya] What's this about?

‐ We've had a complaint.

‐ About who?

‐ You.

Apparently you've been harassing a former member of staff.

(Maya chuckles)

‐ Uh, Hugh isn't a former member of staff,

he's a very current one.

Although there does seem to be some discrepancy

over whether his employment

is known to the company at large.

‐ We have a legal department, Maya, you are not it.

‐ Why is he still being paid?

‐ Because until we float, we need him.

‐ Why are we paying off a man

who knowingly supplied illegal drugs to underage girls?

Do you know how bad that looks?

If this came out‐‐

‐ That is why he is no longer in this office.

‐ We cannot be seen to be enabling a predator,

not in this day and age.

‐ Take a look around,

glass walls,

I see everything that goes on in this office.

Nothing gets past me.

‐ Well, congratulations on taking the notion of transparency

to an architectural level,

we're talking about Hugh though.

‐ We chose to believe the ramblings of a problematic drunk

over a senior manager who may have misbehaved.

It was a different time back then,

different expectations.

We let that manager go

for events that happened a decade ago.

We do, however,

have a legal obligation to pay him until his contract ends,

or we face a protracted legal battle.

What else could we have done?

Please, tell me,

'cause I think we handled a shitty situation

pretty fucking well.

Go, focus on your job.

You're working for Fly Dynamic, not The Guardian.

‐ Did you ever think about going back to work

when the kids started school?

‐ No, Carys, no.

Women would kill for what you and I have,

think very carefully before you throw it away.

‐ I'm not throwing anything away,

I just think it would give me and Gareth

something to talk about.

He likes career women.

‐ And that's why we have the gym.

‐ (sighs) I hate the gym.

‐ Evidently.

Listen, Carys,

Gareth will not be happy

with you turning into a career woman.

Think long and hard before you sacrifice your marriage

for seven pounds an hour. (dramatic music)

(Carys sighs)

‐ I'm going down.

‐ I'm going up.

‐ It's already going down.

‐ Then we shall go down together.

‐ It's fine, I'll wait for the next one.

(elevator dings)

‐ Lovely to meet you finally, Maya.

‐ Sorry.

‐ I did some digging.

Apparently, in her previous company,

Maya was extremely insistent

on pursuing unfounded accusations

regarding financial discrepancies,

to the point of, and I quote, obsession.

When she encountered resistance from the legal department,

some files were anonymously leaked to the press.

It was ultimately nothing,

but she was made voluntarily redundant shortly afterwards.

‐ What's that mean?

‐ It means you hired a whistleblower.

‐ Shit.

‐ I thought you run background checks?

‐ Look, I had Duncan‐‐

‐ Duncan?

He can't distinguish an ass from a hole in the ground.

Sam, this isn't like you.

Are we allowing you to take on too much?

‐ No, honestly, she had great references.

Duncan said he made some inquiries

and that she was well‐liked.

‐ You let the ball slip at a critical time.

‐ I have impressed upon her

that there was a thorough police investigation

which ultimately cleared us.

But we did like to party back then.

‐ Lose her.

‐ I've spoken to legal, not an option.

‐ She's good at her job,

she might be an asset.

I mean, she's smart, she doesn't take any shit.

‐ I agree.

Firing her is a knee‐jerk reaction,

which makes us look culpable for Hugh's behaviour.

‐ I'll handle this, Anita.

It's not a big deal.

Promise.

‐ Befriend her, find out what makes her tick.

She clearly has some personal issues you can exploit.

What's our timeline on the flotation?

‐ We're pilot‐fishing right now.

It's a few more weeks til we start our pre‐contract orders.

‐ Push ahead as much as we can.

(dramatic music)

(indistinct chatter)

‐ Mrs. Jenkins, Mr. Kelly will see you now.

(phone beeps)

(phone buzzes)

‐ [Carys] Hiya, this is Carys,

please leave a message. (beep)

‐ It's me, where are you?

I'm getting a waitress delivery at four,

I need you to come and help me unpack the bags.

And I'm sending you a beginner's list of helpful porn

for you to look at.

Call me, bye.

(door opens)

‐ Hi, Vanessa.

So, I've had a look at your chart and urine sample‐‐

‐ It's really rather embarrassing,

but I stopped taking the pill several months ago,

because I thought, well, I'm 38,

you know how hard it was for us to conceive Danny.

The pull‐out method is quite sufficient.

I really don't want any more chemicals in my body

than is absolutely necessary.

The problem is, I'm late this month.

I'm never late.

Never.

‐ Well, you're definitely not pregnant.

‐ Oh, (chuckles) thank God.

Uh, then, then what is wrong with me?

‐ Well, let's do a physical and take some blood.

We'll know more when we get your FSH levels back.

Now are you having any problems

regulating your body temperature?

‐ Yes.

‐ Any vaginal dryness?

I can prescribe some patches

which might help to regulate the signs of perimenopause.

‐ No.

No, I am, I am not menopausal. (chuckles)

I'm not.

(dramatic music)

(Vanessa sighs)

(Vanessa exhales)

(doorbell rings)

‐ [Maya] Stay there, Audrey.

‐ I've, um, I've come to apologise.

‐ For what?

‐ Well, I don't think I was very kind

or respectful to you today.

‐ Mm.

Did you come up with that yourself?

‐ No, Gemma wrote it, and I practised it in the car.

(both chuckle)

‐ Want to come in?

‐ Yeah, go on then.

(Audrey meows)

‐ Oh, Audrey, uh, come on, come back. (sighs)

‐ What's wrong with it?

Is it sick?

‐ No, she's meant to be like that, she's a sphinx.

‐ Looks like an animated skin graft.

Sorry, that,

that was a joke.

‐ Come on.

‐ Thought you were vegan?

‐ It's for Audrey.

(Sam gasps)

‐ Your cat's not plant‐based,

(Maya chuckles) isn't that cheating?

What was it like at your last place?

Make us look like a bunch of country bumpkins?

‐ Um, same issues, really,

uh, alcoholism, stress, depression,

harassment, general bickering.

I mean, the people are people,

it's probably worse in London, to be honest.

‐ Why did you leave?

‐ Felt like a change.

‐ No boyfriend?

Or girlfriend?

‐ (chuckles) No, uh, divorced.

Well, separated.

‐ Mm. Affair?

‐ Mm.

We grew apart.

What about you?

‐ Divorced.

Mm, he still sees Adam every other weekend,

and that is about as much as I can stand.

(Maya chuckles)

Bastard took me to the cleaner's.

It's funny how everyone hates a capitalist

until it's time to divide the assets.

‐ You ever taken a co‐parenting class?

‐ Oh, yes, and couples therapy,

divorce counselling, postmarital mediation,

oh, circus acrobatics.

We just don't like each other.

(dramatic music)

‐ Why did you come here?

You're worried I might find something out?

‐ There is nothing to find out.

‐ What happened the night Amy died?

‐ Oh, why are you still digging?

‐ You are still dealing with the repercussions

10 years later,

it's not going away on its own, is it?

‐ Everyone was shit‐faced.

Amy and Tess had had a skinful before we even got there.

‐ You had a duty of care to watch over them, they were 16.

‐ I wasn't COO back then, I was just the office manager.

Listen, that was the culture 10 years ago.

Are you telling me you never got drunk at 16?

I mean, what was I supposed to do?

It was normal.

‐ You practise that one in the car too?

‐ I would've had to have eyes in the back of my head

to watch them all.

I can't be everybody's bloody mom,

I can barely look after myself.

‐ What time did she leave?

‐ It was a bit before us.

She was still warm when they found her.

‐ When you found her.

(doorbell rings)

Saved by the bell.

Oh, tipsy.

(Sam sighs)

(dramatic music)

‐ I, I, I left Harriet's blanket in the car,

and, and she was just lying there.

She must've been run over.

‐ Shit.

Liz, we need to get it to a vet, can you drive?

I can't, I've drunk too...

‐ I've got you.

I've got you.

‐ [Liz] I'm so sorry, Maya.

Sorry.

‐ Oh.

‐ [Eve] So you became friends?

‐ Has anyone ever talked to you lot

about single‐use plastic?

(Sam sighs)

It depends on your definition of friends.

Did our cycles sync?

No, they did not.

Did she irritate me less?

Marginally.

Can I smoke in here?

‐ Nope, like I said, you're welcome to vape,

as long as it's a legal substance.

‐ You wanna take a hit just to make sure?

‐ What exactly were the pills you saw her take?

‐ Alpra‐, Alpraz‐‐

‐ Alprazolam.

‐ That's it.

Nasty stuff.

Valium‐type thing,

I took one once, ooh, never again.

Hit me in the face like a brick,

slept for 24 hours and felt like shit.

‐ Maya gave one to you?

‐ No, no, no, it was a long time ago.

‐ Who gave it to you?

‐ Just some bloke.

‐ From work?

(dramatic music)

(Sam shivers)

‐ Could someone put the heating on in here?

‐ Sam, did something happen to you at work?

‐ Who's got a real cigarette?

(coughs) I can't take this shit much longer.

(Sam sighs)

Hi, um, I've come to pick up Audrey's remains.

‐ We are so deeply sorry for your loss.

‐ It's fine, it's not my cat.

‐ Would you like to upgrade your urn from regular pine

to one of our more attractive brass pieces

for an additional 30 pounds?

‐ 30 quid? Seriously?

‐ Also, many bereaved owners find solace

turning their pet's ashes into gem‐grade diamonds

that could be worn as‐‐ (dramatic music)

‐ No.

(Sam chuckles)

(knocks on door)

‐ [Owen] Come in.

‐ Hi.

‐ Hi.

‐ Um, would you mind if I slipped out early?

‐ Not a problem, get a good night's sleep.

‐ Thanks.

‐ Hey, are you gonna be okay?

‐ Mm‐hmm.

‐ You know if you need to take a few days off,

some time to regroup, I know how it is.

I was devastated when my old lab passed a few years back.

Loved that dog.

‐ I'll be fine. Thanks.

Not now, Sam.

‐ You're not looking well.

Are you okay?

Maya, come on, get out.

‐ Are you into Gareth?

‐ Sorry?

‐ He kissed you, like it was normal,

like you were used to it.

‐ We have known each other a long time,

he's, he's like my brother.

‐ Okay.

‐ I know what you're thinking.

‐ Yeah?

‐ My private life, my family life

have got nothing to do with where I am today!

I am a damn good COO!

You have no idea what I have been through to get this far!

‐ Same thing Tess went through, Amy, God knows who else!

(indistinct chatter)

‐ Take it.

‐ I don't want it.

‐ Take the sodding cat!

(dramatic music)

Maya, I'm, I'm, I'm so sorry.

Can I have a drag?

‐ The least you could do is get her car valeted,

all those little nooks and crannies filled with dead cat.

‐ We used to be mates, you and me.

‐ We did.

Then you got promoted and became a bitch.

‐ The reason you never advance in this company

is because of you, not me.

I didn't change, you just couldn't handle it.

‐ Yeah, you keep telling yourself that.

(door slams)

‐ Oh, for fuck's sake! (sighs)

(bell rings) (indistinct chatter)

‐ Ah, Samantha, I haven't seen you here since 2016.

‐ Hello, Ness, Carys.

‐ I left a message with Gemma,

to see if she'll watch Danny tonight.

‐ Oh, she never answers her phone, I'll get her to text you.

‐ Oh, Benedict, fingers out of nose, out, out of the nose.

‐ Danny.

Danny.

‐ Why are you here?

‐ We have an appointment, remember?

‐ Oh, not therapy.

‐ [Sam] It's only an hour.

‐ Danny, darling.

How was school?

‐ Harriet,

Harriet, we do not potty in the playground.

‐ Potty isn't a verb, Liz.

Don't teach her bad grammar now,

she'll talk like she's from the council estates.

‐ See you at Cheese Club, Sam.

‐ Oh, it's your turn to bring the wine.

‐ That's what happens when you don't use Botox, Carys.

‐ Stop.

‐ Come on, Danny.

‐ Hey, Junie.

Come on, cutie.

‐ Harriet!

‐ [Janet] You don't seem present today, Sam.

‐ Oh, just, um, a bit of a stressful day.

‐ Would you like to share it with us?

‐ I'm good, thanks.

‐ How come I have to share and you don't?

(Sam sighs)

‐ I'm pissed off because Gemma lost her work experience,

(Gemma sighs)

but I admire her passion and commitment to activism,

and I'm enjoying having her in the office.

‐ Good, Sam.

What else happened today?

‐ Um, well, I'm knee‐deep in preparing to float the company,

a lot of bureaucratic stuff I won't bore you with.

‐ How does it make you feel?

‐ It makes me feel fucking stressed, Janet.

‐ Let's find some more descriptive adjectives.

‐ Sorry, Adam.

Um, it's, um,

it's, it's, it's challenging.

‐ Are you enjoying work experience with Mom, Gemma?

‐ Yes.

‐ The last time we spoke,

you had expressed a desire to find out more

about your biological father.

I know it's an emotional subject, Sam,

but have you managed to have any productive conversations?

‐ Yeah. ‐ No.

(dramatic music)

(Sam sighs)

‐ Thanks for coming, Mom.

‐ Oh, it's no problem, diku.

I know, she was your baby.

I'm not letting you deal with this alone.

(dramatic music)

(phone buzzes)

‐ How's work?

‐ I don't know, I just show up.

That's what CFOs do.

We show up, wave our dicks around,

and then go home and wank in front of Sky

while other people make us money.

Do you want a dessert?

‐ Uh, no, thanks.

Tea's good.

‐ Good.

I wanna get out of here, I'm knackered.

‐ Here's your bill, sir.

‐ Oh, I'll handle that.

(Gareth chuckles)

No, really, it's on me.

‐ [Gareth] Don't be daft.

What are you up to?

‐ I am...

I got a job.

‐ A job?

‐ Are you angry?

‐ No, I'm impressed.

Good for you, sweetheart, what is it?

‐ I'm a teaching assistant.

‐ That's amazing, wow.

Teaching assistant?

So cool.

Do you need a bigger allowance?

‐ No, I just,

I just want to be more independent.

You're always saying how much

you admire strong career women‐‐

‐ I admire you all the time.

Being a mom, it's a full‐time job, isn't it?

(dramatic music)

Hardest job in the world.

Come on, get your coat, Ivanka.

‐ Oh, is that benir?

Mom, I told you I don't eat dairy.

‐ Oh, this vegan diet of yours is shitty.

You need protein, it's a scientific fact.

‐ Oh, no, Mom, Mom, please don't,

just don't put dairy on the top shelf.

Please, just‐‐

‐ You're getting very skinny.

‐ Anything non‐vegan needs to go

on the bottom in a separate drawer,

I have a system.

‐ A system for stacking Tupperware?

Sit down, diku.

Look, I know how to load a fridge.

‐ (chuckles) You don't know where anything goes.

‐ Are you still taking that medication?

‐ Yes.

‐ Maybe we need to put in a call

to that fancy private doctor that Luke found for you.

(Maya chuckles)

‐ That man was a quack.

He just wanted to load me up on heavy‐duty tranquillisers.

Sorry, I just, I don't,

ah, I don't think I'm handling this very well.

‐ You need to take a careful‐self week.

Everyone is talking about mental health these days.

‐ It's, it's self‐care week.

It's self‐care week, it's fine, I just,

I can't, I've only been here a month.

‐ Well, you remember what happened last time.

‐ Mother, that had nothing to do with my mental health

and everything to do with the fact

that there was this huge corporate coverup

of systemic corruption.

‐ All I'm saying is if you hadn't been so stressed,

then maybe you would've handled it

with a bit more sensitivity and care.

‐ Oh, Mom, I...

I can't.

‐ I think Hot Sexy Mama might be your shade, Gem.

(Gemma chuckles)

Oh, I'd kill for your cheekbones.

‐ Mom says I'm too skinny.

‐ There's no such thing as too skinny.

How about some contouring?

‐ Wow, my god,

the temperature in here just rose considerably.

Vanessa, maybe you should stay in and babysit Danny

and I'll take Gemma out with me and the boys.

(Gemma chuckles)

‐ Come on, Danny.

‐ Well, you look very lovely, darling.

(kisses)

Should I be concerned about the competition at Cheese Night?

(Vanessa sighs)

‐ Have you told Luke?

He was very fond of that cat.

‐ He called her the ballsack.

(Sangini chuckles)

Don't laugh, he's a reptile.

‐ Why do you always say that about him?

I don't know where you get your ideas from.

‐ Don't talk to him, please.

‐ Whatever you say, diku.

Have you thought about giving things another go?

‐ No.

‐ You're not getting any younger.

I know he's not perfect, but you're not a spring chicken.

‐ No.

(indistinct chatter)

‐ Hiya.

‐ Sam.

Oh, Asti Spumante.

‐ Yeah, sorry.

‐ Oh, just not quite sure

it's the right accompaniment for Humboldt Fog,

but maybe you didn't get my email featuring tonight's menu.

‐ Yeah, musta slipped me by.

‐ Oh, nevermind, uh, we'll soldier on. (chuckles)

‐ Gareth says that Gemma's doing really well at the company,

you must be so proud.

‐ Oh, thank you, Carys.

And congratulations, you've got, it's...

It is a job, right?

‐ Yeah, yeah.

P60 and everything.

‐ Oh, stop, just stop, no more career talk.

‐ I have a little announcement.

You may have noticed I'm not drinking.

‐ Thrush again?

(Carys chuckles)

‐ Um, I'm pregnant.

(Carys chuckles)

(Liz chuckles)

No, I don't know how, we never have sex,

I mean literally, never. (chuckles)

‐ Maybe Dom slipped you a roofie when you weren't looking.

‐ Wow, but that's wonderful.

Liz, I'm so happy for you.

‐ Well, I've, um, I've made a Google spreadsheet,

which I'll distribute via the Cheese Club WhatsApp group,

and, um, you can all sign up to bring me home‐cooked meals

over the postnatal period. (chuckles)

‐ [Sam] You are so organised.

‐ Oh, god, it's exhausting. (sighs)

You are all exhausting me tonight.

‐ You okay, Vanessa?

‐ Bit peeky.

‐ Yeah, you look a bit thin.

You could afford a few more Happy Meals.

‐ It's called ageing.

‐ No.

‐ No, no, no, no.

‐ Actually, um,

I have been diagnosed with

the perimenopause.

So I am ageing rather rapidly, it would seem.

‐ Oh, don't be daft,

you're, um, you're too young. (chuckles)

‐ Is, uh, Gemma, Gemma enjoying herself,

at the, at the office, I mean?

‐ Yeah, like I said two minutes ago, she's doing great.

‐ Must be very strange having something you grew

walking around the office.

‐ I had a daughter, not a potato,

so it's, uh, it's actually not strange, Liz.

(Liz chuckles)

‐ [Liz] Still, teenagers in the office, watch out.

‐ It's not the teenagers you have to worry about,

is it, Sam?

And he's gone.

‐ Do you want me to drive?

I didn't really drink, so‐‐

‐ I can drive.

My auntie Mae went through the change last year,

and she said that the patch really helped.

‐ I can handle my own menopause without anyone's opinion.

Should there be any change to my condition,

I'll be sure to post it to the Cheese Club WhatsApp group.

‐ Look, you don't need to worry, about Sam, I mean.

Liz says stupid stuff, she doesn't think.

Owen, he adores you,

his head would never be turned by anyone.

Sam's just one of the boys.

‐ Oh, you stupid, stupid, little woman.

‐ What?

‐ Owen's not fucking Sam.

Your husband is.

(dramatic music)

(Carys sighs)

(dramatic music) (radio chatter)

‐ It's a fucking mess, it's gone wrong.

Really wrong.

I need help.

(baby cries)

(Hugh sighs)

‐ Is Phoebe okay?

‐ We're both knackered.

Is it meant to be this hard?

‐ Ah, there's always some asshole with a magic baby

that sleeps eight hours through the night,

but on the whole, yeah, this is it. (chuckles)

Do you want some?

‐ You know I don't drink.

‐ Still?

‐ 10 years clean and sober,

it was kind of a big deal at the time.

‐ Ever think about that night?

‐ Taking the piss?

‐ I'm sorry, I don't know why Maya came around prying.

We've had a word, won't happen again.

‐ Too right it won't.

You made me the sacrificial lamb.

Out of everybody in that office drinking,

and shagging, and snorting,

it was me who became the Harvey fucking Weinstein

of Fly Dynamic.

Girl dies, nothing happens,

2021 rolls around, then it's goodbye, Hugh.

I don't drink, I don't sleep around,

I do what I'm told, I did my job well.

How does any of this make sense?

‐ What do you remember about that night.

(Hugh sighs)

(dramatic music)

‐ Not much.

I was at the office with Gareth, I didn't see anything.

‐ You know, I keep replaying it over and over in my head.

(indistinct chatter)

Where did it go wrong? How did we lose her?

How did we not watch over her?

(Hugh sighs)

‐ We were out‐assed, we were tripping our tits off,

we were mullocked, that's what went wrong.

‐ I wasn't.

‐ No, you were calling Gareth every hour trying to get laid.

‐ I wasn't.

I didn't call anyone that night,

I'd have remembered, I wasn't that drunk.

‐ That's not how I remember it.

(phone rings)

It was definitely you calling,

over and over. (phone rings)

‐ I swear, I didn't call him,

I can't stand him when he's wankered.

‐ Then I left and came to the club.

‐ Did you see Amy at the club?

‐ (sighs) We've been through this.

‐ You said in court that she was still there at kicking out.

(baby cries)

Now that's what you told the police and the coroner,

that's what you told me.

I thought she'd left,

I didn't see her again until...

Is that right, Hugh?

Was she there all night?

‐ It was a long time ago.

(baby cries)

‐ Hugh.

‐ I can't remember.

‐ If you know something,

you need to tell me.

(baby cries)

‐ Let yourself out.

(dramatic music)

(dramatic music) ‐ This is a mess.

‐ [Eve] Somebody died this morning.

‐ I wanna go home.

‐ [Eve] And you found their body.

‐ I just don't want you to have to go through

the same shit that I did.

‐ [Eve] How do you get on with his wife?

(glass shatters) ‐ I know about you and Sam.

‐ Do some digging, Carys,

men like Gareth, they hide things.

‐ You had 10 years to talk to me and you didn't.

You used me and then acted like I didn't exist.

‐ Listen, you are the COO, Sam.

He is not gonna take that away from you,

but you've gotta stop pissing him off.

‐ I want it by tonight or you're out of a job.

‐ Does Sam know you're in her office?

‐ She will.
