SONG: 'A Girl Like You'

# And I've never met a girl Like you before... #

Ca va?

# Never, never, never, never

# Never known a girl Like you before. #

Here comes the sun. How's my outfit?

LAUGHTER

Oh, you look fabulous, Mr Evans.

You're glowing! SHE SIGHS

There. Two more butterflies.

I'll give you a call when it's done. Hi, Susannah.

Oh, hi, Zoe! DOOR SHUTS

How's the search for the au pair going?

Terribly, thankfully.

Chris thinks we need one, but I'm not so sure.

Ooh! ZOE CHUCKLES

Sorry.

ZOE SIGHS

SOFTLY: That's her. The one who keeps sending this back.

No! Mm-hm!

I pictured her in a Dalmatian coat.

SUSANNAH CHUCKLES

She wants two more butterflies here and here.

Okie-doke! Thank you.

SHE SIGHS SOFTLY

Hey, Amber! Ray! Want a lift home?

No. Thanks.

SHE CHUCKLES

Hi, Zoe! Oh! Hey, kiddo!

I have to work late. Takeaway OK?

Pizza? Or maybe something a little healthier?

Oh, fine! Pizza it is. SHE LAUGHS

Hi, Dad.

Hello, darling.

Have you been doing anything with these insulin vials?

They look like they've moved. No. And what's more,

I'm perfectly capable of doing it myself, you know.

That would be wonderful, if you didn't keep forgetting.

I do treasure these precious moments, Dad.

You seem in better form these days.

I've been worried about you. Losing a baby so far along.

I'm proud of you.

RHYTHMIC THUDDING

Are you getting in or what?

What if I was a burglar? I thought you were. Oh!

So that's what goes on while I'm away.

How are the kids? Three years on, I'm still on trial.

Am I a bad stepmother?

No!

No.

They do love you.

Even Amber. She's just going through a phase.

Well, she misses her mum.

And I still feel like a bit of an impostor.

I mean, this was Eva's family home. I know how you feel.

Anything I can do? Well...

those could come off, for a start.

HE CHUCKLES

Ahh! ZOE LAUGHS

Freezing!

I can't drink that. I'm allergic.

Allergic to what?

Green.

It's fine, your dad can drink it.

Oh. What's that?

Oh. Mm!

Thank you. Any time.

Mm. Mm!

Hey, morning, buddy. Morning, Dad.

I need this for dress down day.

It still has a chocolate smudge on it.

Shit! Erm...

You get your bike, and I'll clean this.

He can wear something else. I'm slowly getting there with Amber.

I need to keep Noah onside. Here, let me.

Look, we've got a lot going on between your workload and mine.

I told you that we got a call about the au pair position.

Look, it's not that I don't want the help, but...

a total stranger?

I still need to bond with the kids. Yeah, OK.

I'll see you... later.

All fixed.

It's soaking.

Not for long!

SHE LAUGHS

Whoo! NOAH GIGGLES

Er... Ah!

CAR HORN BLARES

Ahh!

HE GRUNTS

HE GROANS

Sorry I'm a bit behind. I got stuck working on another job all night.

That's OK. I know exactly how you feel.

BABY COOS

MOBILE RINGS

Ooh, just a sec.

Hey, Noah! 'Oh, no, sorry, but I'm with him.'

What? 'Oh, don't worry, he's OK.'

Who is this?

'I was walking by, and he fell off his bike...'

Oh, God. Erm, er...

Sorry, I have to go.

Where are you? I'm sorry! CUSTOMER SIGHS

Oh, my God, Noah! My brakes went.

Oh, don't worry. Nothing broken.

But he was really lucky. Thank you so much for calling me.

Ooh... NOAH GASPS IN PAINS

Oh, no, it doesn't hurt, Noah. Does it?

Up, up, up, up, up. ZOE GRUNTS

I don't want to go to school. It's too sore. I bet.

Are you kidding, Noah?

You have to go to school and show off your battle scars!

What will your friends say? Hm?

Yeah? NOAH GIGGLES

Go on, you can sit in the front. ZOE SIGHS

Thank God.

I take the bike. Thank you.

Honestly, I can't thank you enough. MOBILE RINGS

Excuse me.

Hi, Chris.

'Zoe, your dad's help alarm has been triggered.'

What? Oh, God!

'We need to get there straight away.'

Erm, OK, I'm on my way. I'm on my way.

It's Dad. Erm...

Sorry. Thank you.

ZOE GRUNTS

Keep talking to him. Dad? It's me!

Chris is here too. You're gonna be OK.

I'll get his injection ready, you check his sugar levels.

SHE SIGHS His blood sugar's dangerously low.

How much insulin have you been giving him?

Well, his normal dosage.

Are you sure you didn't give him 500 by mistake?

No, of course not! Ten units of U100.

Ah...

There we go.

OK.

HE EXHALES

WEAKLY: Oh...

HE SIGHS

Two jabs?

MOBILE RINGS

Thought you were better than that.

And they say doctors make bad patients.

Shit! My client.

Hello?

'I'm still here pinned up in your studio!'

Oh, I'm so sorry. I'm coming now.

Oh, I haven't told you. Noah crashed his bike.

What? Is he OK? Yeah. He's fine. He's, erm...

He's in the car. So I'm gonna go and sort this,

and then I'm going to drop him back to school.

MUSIC: '@letsgogogo--' by Nayla & GO GO GO

Hey! Mm.

How was the rest of your day? ZOE SIGHS

You win.

The au pair. Let's do it.

Oh, hello. Hi.

You must be here about the au pair role.

Yes. Yes.

Oh, I'm sorry, I meant to contact you.

I look after the mother's estate and...

Yes. The role has since been filled.

Oh.

But... I'm sorry.

Oh, OK.

FOOTSTEPS RETREAT

CHRIS: 'Very good experience. Childminding, four years...

'She ticks all the boxes.' AMBER: 'I don't understand

'why we need some boring stranger in our home.'

Well, let's just meet her and see.

Oh, I was talking about you.

Amber! It was a joke.

Actually, that was pretty funny. CHRIS SCOFFS

DOORBELL

I'll be in my room. Er... I'll be out here...

Guys!

Dr Morville? Oh. Hello.

I hope that's OK.

Oh, this is my wife, Zoe. Oh, hi.

Hello. Nice to see you again. You two know each other?

Yes. This is the lovely girl I told you about.

The one who helped Noah. Sorry, I never caught your name.

I'm Sandrine.

Please take a seat. Thank you.

The other au pair, she couldn't make it.

HE CLEARS THROAT

Oh, it says here that you've got experience in administering insulin.

Oh, yes. My grandmother had diabetes.

I took care of her.

Is it bad?

No. No.

Oh. You're a life-saver.

Oh. Hey, listen. Yes?

We're going camping for the long weekend.

Would you mind checking in on Dad? OK. No problem.

But you like camping? No. I hate it.

I love watching you work. It's so detailed.

Yep. SHE SIGHS

The client, Sylvia, she likes these really intricate designs.

Finished now, though. Mm?

Hopefully. I'll grab the keys for you.

Oh, my God. I love this one.

So beautiful. Oh.

I was making that one for us.

We lost our child mid-term. I'm sorry, I didn't know.

No, you couldn't have known.

I started the gown for her, and...

now I can't bring myself to get rid of it.

I can't bring myself to finish it either.

But you must finish.

Next time, your beautiful baby will need it.

Ah, no, erm... Chris won't.

For my sake, he... he doesn't think we should try again.

Yes.

Unfortunately, we still need men to contribute their little guys.

SHE CHUCKLES

Well, we've still got embryos at the clinic, so, erm...

technically, I don't need him.

So, what are you waiting for? Go for it.

No. Chris will go mad. You know what?

My grandmother taught me an expression.

"Avoir un bebe a tout prix."

To have a baby at all costs.

I think she meant a woman's desire will stop at nothing.

Tell him it was natural.

A miracle. SHE SCOFFS

I need to bring Dad his dinner. Oh, no. Let me do that.

You relax and drink your coffee.

Raye, be serious about this. I am. I know. I'm starting to show.

Of course you're starting to show, Raye, you're nearly eight months.

I can't let them find out about this. Not yet.

You OK?

Chris, I'd really like us to talk about doing another transfer.

Er...

I thought we'd decided...

..after what happened last time.

No, you decided, not me.

I just can't stop thinking about who our little baby might have become.

I know. I know, it's just that...

I think the health risks are too great, and...

To be honest, the probability of you...

..not having complications...

Can you stop being a doctor for one minute and just be my husband?

I'm sorry, Zoe, but that's how it is.

Do you think Chris is right?

Well...

Having had placenta previa -

and in your case, there was quite heavy bleeding -

there's always a risk of you having it again.

And in that worst-case scenario,

it could be life-threatening to you and the baby.

So you think I should give up? Well, what's the risks?

5%. That's one in 20.

All right, they're not negligible, but they're not high either.

Do you know what I think?

I think the fear of losing another wife may be influencing Chris.

But I also think you make a wonderful mum.

So I hate the thought of you not having another chance.

How do you think Chris would react if...

..I got the ball rolling without him?

Oh.

I... I don't wanna know.

I... I really prefer to be left out of it.

If you had your bike fixed, we could have a race to school.

If I had my bike fixed, I could go to school by myself.

You wouldn't miss our time together? That hurts.

Zoe's so cool, isn't she?

I bet you guys never fight with her. I wouldn't say never.

Her and Amber sometimes. Really?

Like when?

Mm... That time she ripped one of her dresses when Zoe first moved in.

Oh, wow. Amber did that? What happened?

Shh. Just keep walking.

Oi, you.

Need your baby-sitter to walk you to school?

What? What you looking at? Ooh.

Sandrine.

Nice bodyguard, mate. THEY LAUGH

You caught me on a good day. I had a cancellation.

So, I assume you and Chris have signed the revised consent form. Oh.

SHE CLEARS THROAT

Oh, sugar. I must have left it on the table.

Could I bring it next time? OK.

For now, I can prescribe the pre-transfer meds.

Just, as before, you start on the second day of your period.

Great.

FABRIC TEARS

Hey! I'm going to make lunch for George. Are you hungry?

That'd be lovely. Oh, perfect.

SHE EXHALES

I hate taking these bloody things. They make me so groggy.

After three nights on call, you need your sleep.

Especially as we've got the camping weekend.

Oh, God! Camping?

I feel so old. You are old.

Listen, is there any chance that you'd wear that this weekend?

I might. On one condition. Mm-hm?

I wanna have a talk when we're there,

away from work and all the other distractions.

HE SIGHS

WHISPERS: I need to sleep.

I'm really pleased with how it turned out.

I'm so excited. ZOE CHUCKLES

I stitched the pearls onto the flowers.

Wonderful.

What is it?

I'm so sorry.

Zoe, the wedding is tomorrow.

Are you OK? What's going on?

Somebody has ruined my client's dress.

Are you accusing me? Well, you do have a history.

I didn't ruin your stupid dress.

You've gone psycho again.

Hey, hey. Let's just take a minute, OK?

Zoe.

DOOR SLAMS She said she didn't do it.

Hey, Chris. Don't wanna forget this.

Erm, forgive me for overstepping, but is Zoe all right?

She seems really exhausted lately.

And now this thing with the dress. You know...

She's been really, really overworked recently.

You think she may have done it herself without realising?

I'm sorry. I'm...

I'm genuinely concerned because she's just...

OK, I shouldn't say that. And...

No, no, no, please. No. It's OK.

Please. What were you gonna say?

I don't think it's good for her to work on that gown so much.

Gown? What gown? It's a christening gown.

HE SIGHS That gown.

If you ever lay a finger on Noah again, I will cut you.

Same if you tell anyone about this.

HE YELLS

Noah is off limits. Understand?

Do you understand?

That's our au pair. What?

Hey! I have to pop out and meet a client.

Shouldn't be more than a couple of hours.

OK. Thank you.

'Hi, Chris.' 'Hi, Sandrine. Is everything OK?'

'Yes. I'm sorry to call you, but I was just worried about Zoe.

'She seems really upset. And...

'Please don't say anything, but I was thinking...

'maybe you should come and see if she's OK.'

'Absolutely. Yeah.

'I'll be there as soon as I can.' 'Thank you.'

Zoe?

Chris?

What are you doing in here? Why aren't you at work?

I wanted to see you after how we left things earlier.

What are you doing with that?

Can you put it back on the rail, please?

I'm worried about you.

There's nothing to worry about. I'm fine.

I'm just really busy, and now I've got to fix Sylvia's dress, so...

She's an important client.

Why can't you tell me what's going on?

You haven't been yourself.

Nothing is going on.

You're the one who's acting strange.

Erm, I am on call again tonight.

I thought maybe I could take you out for lunch.

Oh, I can't, Chris.

I need to work.

SOFTLY: OK.

ZOE SIGHS

Mm. You look so happy.

Tyler apologised to me.

He looked like he was crying.

I think someone might have beaten him up.

Hey. How was your day, Amber?

Is Dad home? Need to talk to him about something.

Oh, you just missed him.

Never mind. I'll speak to him later.

Apparently, there's some psychopath going around beating up kids.

You're just mad cos he's got a new big sister.

SHE CHUCKLES

Was it you...

who beat up Tyler?

I don't know.

Would you tell your parents if it was?

Somebody's got to look out for you.

I mean, Mum thinks I've put on weight,

but she hasn't got a clue.

KNOCKING

Hey. What the hell are you doing?

You must be Raye.

Nearly eight months now, is it?

Congratulations.

Don't worry. Your secret's safe with me.

Oh, hey.

Oh, I have an appointment I can't miss.

Oh. And in case I forget, can you help Noah pack

when he gets home from school? Yes.

And also, could you...

..bring lunch over to George. LAUGHING: Yes.

Yes. I'm gonna make soup in a while.

Erm... Oh, and, erm...

Well, just pull the door behind you. OK.

For you. Thank you.

Why are you always watching this boring sport?

I thought you'd be gone back to France by now.

Don't pretend you wouldn't miss me.

Well...

I'd miss your soup.

CHEERING ON TV

Yes!

HE LAUGHS

TV: 'Five more runs...'

TV BECOMES MUFFLED

HE BREATHES HEAVILY

HE GRUNTS

Thanks. Oh, sorry. Just before you go.

You still didn't get me that consent form.

Oh. Sorry, I've lost it.

But we're going away this weekend,

so I'll pin Chris down and get him to sign another one.

Get the labs to come back to me today.

INDISTINCT

Zoe?

PHONE RINGS

Yes, Sandrine?

ON PHONE: 'Chris. It's George.' What?

He was fine when I left him.

Are you OK?

Yes.

Where's his medication?

I don't know. I don't know.

I think Zoe keeps a back-up in the pink cupboard.

SIRENS

What the fuck? SANDRINE: Chris! I have them.

Here, buddy. See you later.

Oh.

I'm gonna follow them to the hospital.

I'm just gonna get my bag.

I saw you at the hospital today.

Do you wanna explain?

I need to get this to Dad. Can we talk about it when I get back?

We won't be here when you get back.

I found the medication.

What medication?

Please tell me you didn't sign up for a cycle without my consent.

I have the consent forms in my bag.

I was gonna tell you this weekend.

I have tried to talk to you about it.

But we agreed, as a married couple, and you do this behind my back.

I just wanna be a mother, Chris. You are a mother.

It's not the same. They're not MY kids.

I'm so excited. Are you?

Chris. For the journey.

Oh, thank you, Sandrine. You're welcome.

Amber. Hold these.

ENGINE STARTS

You sure Zoe's gonna be all right by herself all weekend?

Zoe's gonna be fine.

Anyway, she's not by herself all weekend.

She's got Sandrine.

DOOR OPENS

Hey.

How's George?

He's OK, but they're gonna keep him in for a few days.

Any word from Chris?

No.

I'm making dinner for the two of us.

SIGHING: Oh.

I think I'm just gonna have a bath and an early night.

Thanks anyway.

Maybe a glass of wine.

Why don't you go up and run your bath?

I'll bring it up. Thanks.

ZOE GASPS

Here we go.

Thanks.

You just relax. OK?

MUSIC STARTS, SANDRINE CHUCKLES

MUSIC CONTINUES

MUSIC STOPS

SHE BREATHES HEAVILY

Whatever you think you know, you're wrong.

Did you think we wouldn't find out?

I guess the pill bottles are similar...

..and it was an easy mistake.

You should've come to me.

Everyone thinks she's perfect, I don't buy it for a second.

I never properly thanked you for rescuing me last week.

They all fell for it.

But not me.

And now you're fucked. Argh!
