Stop fussing.

I'm just putting your collar down.

Would you stop, you are drunk.

- Please select a level. - We're not moving, why aren't we moving?

Please select a level.

- Did you even press the button? - No...

See, you are hammered!

I thought you...

How could you?

Why didn't you just break up with me?

What?

- Daniel... -Wait... - What do you mean? -Look...

You don't need this.

- You don't need this. - Cherry!

- How could you be so cruel? - Cruel?

You left me in the hospital.

You didn't even have the decency to do it in person.

My god...

You don't know what she told me, do you?

She lied to you too. Wow...

I was wrong. You're not a snob, you're a psychopath.

- Hey! - Daniel, let's go.

You want to know what she did?

- She's not to be trusted. - It's pretty fucked up.

You don't need to hear this.

She told me you were dead.

Daniel...

Yeah, she told me you'd died and that there was a funeral.

Guess what? I didn't make the guest list.

But I understand now because there wasn't a funeral.

I cried my eyes out for months.

You did this to me! What the fuck is wrong with you?

Mum...?

I can explain.

Please...

Daniel?

Hey, it's Daniel. Leave a message.

Daniel, honey, listen,

I know that if you heard my side of the story,

you would see it differently.

Please just come home.

And please don't talk to anyone until I've talked to you, ok?

Fuck.

Are you ok? What's going on?

- Have you heard from Daniel? - No, why?

I was just wondering if he was going to come home for dinner.

Leave him be, it's good he's getting out of the house again.

Yeah.

So how's the, Jamal Kay exhibition going?

Great.

Is it? When were you last at the gallery?

I heard you haven't been in for some time.

You keeping tabs on me now?

- It is my name over the door. - Wow, ok.

It is my name too, my gallery.

Forgive me. I'm stressed.

I have a lot riding on this business trip.

It's ok.

Please pick up. Please.

Daniel?

Hey, it's Daniel. Leave a message.

I didn't know you were coming in!

What, am I supposed to give you notice?

- No, I... - Listen...

I'd really prefer you not discuss my movements with my husband.

Ok?

Let's...

Get Jamal in, I want to talk to him about the article.

He came in.

What? When?

- Yesterday. - And you're only telling me now?

- I... I put it in your calendar. - But why didn't you call me?

- You were with Daniel... - What's that got to do with it?

You don't normally pick up when he's there...

What did he say?

To be honest, he was a bit annoyed you weren't here.

My god!

- Look, what can I do? - No, don't do anything.

- Please. - Please let me fix this!

No, you know what, Harriet, I can't do this anymore.

I can't. I'm going to have to let you go.

If auction sales are a real measure, then...

There you are! My god, I was so worried.

Did... did you lose your key?

No.

Why would you ring the bell, honey?

- May I come in? - 'Course.

Daniel.

You don't have to punish me.

Did dad know?

No!

No, of course not.

Good.

- Will you just let me explain? - Why did you do it?

Because we didn't think you were going to make it.

The doctors said it wasn't likely...

You told my girlfriend I was dead.

- Do you know how fucking insane that is! - Yes, but there is a reason...

- I'm your son! - I know, honey.

I know.

Listen, it's complicated.

- I just... - Fuck... whatever.

We wanted you to get better without any distractions,

and cherry wasn't helping...

Can you just leave me the fuck alone?

Did I scare you?

I did, didn't I?

Why are you here?

Is there something you need to tell me?

You ruined my life, Laura.

Now watch me ruin yours.

Get out of my house.

- Daniel? - Yeah, I'm ready.

- She slashed my tires. - Do you have evidence it was her?

Who else would it be? She was at my house.

She threatened me.

You can report criminal damage, but... That's all we can do for now.

I ju... I know she's going to try to do something worse.

Can we be sure to wrap that in cloth as well as bubble wrap

and label it as number 7?

And preferably if we can put it one per box, then we can...

- Jamal? - Yeah?

What are you doing?

I'm pulling out, I have to protect my brand.

What? Why?

It's all over socials, allegations of bullying.

Toxic work environment.

Jamal... None of this is true.

- Laura, someone's suing you. - What?

- For unfair dismissal. - Unfair dismissal?

Wait, is this Harriet? That was incredibly fair dismissal.

Jamal, listen, this is career suicide for you.

Walking away from a prestigious gallery...

I have to align myself with the right sorts of people.

Actually, you can't pull out right now, you've signed a contract with me.

I was never sent it.

- Now do you see why I fired her? - Good luck!

Hey, it's Daniel, leave a message.

You need to have a talk with cherry

and tell her to stop with her silly little games.

This... this is now harassment.

I come bearing barolo.

- How screwed are you? - Screwed.

I seriously don't think anybody is going to want to be seen working with me.

Everyone's getting cancelled these days. It's practically a rite of passage.

My god, and I've got my top buyers flying in for the private viewing.

I'm going to have to call all of them.

- I'm sorry, darling. - My god.

- This can't be a coincidence. - What is it?

I need to tell you something.

Ok.

Well, it's... it's Daniel, he's back with cherry.

He really did hit his head hard, didn't he?

He's not speaking with me.

I... I did something that I shouldn't've.

I didn't tell cherry that he'd recovered.

Well, what did you tell her?

I let her think that he'd died.

- Well, why would you do that? - I don't know.

- Laura! - I just...

It was my one chance to get her out of his life.

She is bad for him.

You said yourself, she's a gold digger!

No, no, no, no. That doesn't justify it!

But I was right, she is dangerous.

She's threatening me. She's hanging outside of my gallery.

- I need to do something. - You need to stop.

All of it.

Now.

I really thought you would understand.

I'm worried about you.

- I get it! - Do you?

People have done insane things for love since time began

and you thought you were going to lose your son.

I know, and now I have.

And it doesn't matter what I do, it doesn't matter how hard I try...

You just think you're going to lose everything that you care about.

It's not just Daniel, it's...

This girl is coming for me.

I might lose my reputation, my gallery...

No, no, no that's not going to happen. You just need to find another artist.

- And I don't mean me. - Why not?

Come on, Lilith.

The last time you had an exhibition was what, a decade ago?

And it would probably be the one thing that could save my gallery.

You're not saying no.

I tell you what, I think you should take a break from all this worrying.

You look exhausted. When did you last sleep?

Not since the '80s.

I want to help you.

You can show my paintings.

Really?

As long as you promise to take care of them.

- And after all, they are my children. - I will.

Thank you.

All right, let me see.

Here.

Maybe you should do this for a living.

You're so beautiful.

Why don't you stay this time? Let loose.

I can't.

Howard and I...

- Is he waiting at home? - No, he's away.

Well...

I think you deserve a little bit of fun.

- You mean, do a lot of drugs? - Mhm, loads.

You're back early.

Why are you sitting in the dark?

You ok?

Howard?

What's up?

Why would you tell cherry our son died?

Why?

I don't know, it was impulsive, I just...

I thought we were losing him, and I... I just said it.

You realise you didn't just lie to cherry.

You lied to Daniel.

And you lied to me.

I know.

I'm sorry. I didn't want to.

But you did.

How can I trust you?

You can trust me.

- Can I? - Of course you can.

Ok.

Where were you last night?

Tell me.

I was with Lilith.

Fuck, Laura.

Fuck!

- I just needed to be with someone... - I'm right here!

I'm right fucking here doing exactly what you want.

You said you wanted to open the marriage, I said fine.

You said you were done with that, I said fine.

I really... really felt like we'd found each other again, Laura.

And now you go back to that woman? Who nearly broke us?

What the fuck do you want?

Just tell me. Do you even know what you want?

You keep pushing me away.

No...

Fuck that, I'm not doing that anymore. I'm done.

- Are you leaving me? - I don't know, Laura.

I need to think.

The point of art is to make people feel something.

And that's why Lilith's work made such an impact.

It was raw. It was unashamedly honest.

I've wanted to show her work since we were in college together,

and then she won the Turner prize and stopped returning my calls.

I've been following her career for many, many years

and I'm just so honoured to be able to celebrate her and her immense talent.

Umm... It only took 30 years.

But here we are.

So...

Take it all in... Thank you all so much for coming.

Thank you.

Thank you, darling.

She's here.

What? The girlfriend?

- I'll handle this. - Do you want me...

No, no, you just have your moment. I'll be right back.

- Yeah? - Yeah.

Congratulations.

Why don't we...

- Why don't we talk outside? - Why, are you kicking me out?

Again? Are you scared I'm going to say something in front of these people?

I'm not kicking you out.

Just come downstairs in my office, please.

We can talk there.

What do you want, cherry?

Is that the girlfriend?

The famous first love.

Put that down.

That was Daniel's.

Why did you tell me he'd died?

I wanted to protect my son.

From what? From me?

You want me to answer that after all the things that you've done?

If you ever try and fuck with our relationship again,

I will come for you.

Is that why you came here? To threaten me?

You need to leave, or...

- Or what? - Or I'll call the police.

And say what? More lies?

I think you've done enough.

Your reputation's a joke. Your marriage is hanging on by a thread.

Your son hates you.

I think you should go back up to your girlfriend.

It's probably all you've got left.

You fucking threaten me again, I swear to god.

What? What are you going to do?

You going to hurt me?

Now that'd set the art world talking. Go on, do it.

Go on.

My god!

She told me you were dead.

And there was a funeral. Guess what? I didn't make the guest list.

But I understand now, because there wasn't a funeral.

You did that to me. What the fuck is wrong with you?

All that time, he was alive. It... it's fucked.

And you know what makes it worse? She knows what grief is, and...

And she put me through it. She really put me through it.

She got me fired, made me homeless.

She doesn't sound like a well woman.

Just promise me you'll stay away from that family.

I've got to do something, she ruined my life.

No... Cherry, you'll do something you regret.

Those kind of people... Nicholas, the sandersons, rich people...

They can get away with anything, but you can't, ok?

I'm not going to be able to protect you this time.

What've you done?

Nothing.

Can we talk?

It's ok, mum.

Did you follow me here?

I... I don't want to lose you again.

Look, I need you to know that...

I missed you... every day.

Why didn't you call?

I did.

- I called, I messaged. - I didn't get anything.

My god, she must've...

You know what? It doesn't matter, ok?

All that matters is I'm here, asking you...

If you'll give me another chance.

I've never met anyone like you, cherry.

I don't want to meet anyone like you.

I, I want... You.

I've just started to get my life back together.

I know, I'm... I'm sorry.

Can I kiss you?

Ok. Yeah, I understand.

I'll leave you alone now.

Look...

If you want to join me later,

I'll be at the bovary.

I'll wait for you.

It's all right if you, if you don't want to, but...

I'll wait for you, ok?

You came. I didn't think you would.

Well, I came when you were in a coma,

even though you were pretty shit company.

That's a good point.

Can I get a dirty vodka Martini, please?

- Of course. - Thank you.

So what do we do now?

I don't know.

Is there any world in which we could... Start again?

- Do I have to meet the parents? - No...

No. Fuck no, no.

- Good. - Absolutely not.

She must hate the fact that you're meeting me.

Don't know.

- But she's upset. - I have no idea.

I haven't seen her.

I'm going to stay here, lay low for a bit.

Only you would lay low in a five star hotel.

Do you want to come up?

I don't know, it feels like we're strangers.

Yeah, it does.

You wanna come up?

Shit.

- What, have you broken it? - I've broken it.

- You muppet. - I am so sorry.

- It's... it's ok. - Is it?

Yeah, it's fine. I'll just stay in it forever.

- Morning. - Morning.

Flat white, right?

Ummmm...

No?

No, Americano?

What is it?

No, I don't... I don't drink coffee.

Fuck, really?

- I'm sorry. - It's ok.

To be honest, the weeks before the coma are...

Are kinda hazy.

Do you remember this?

You gave it to me.

Why would I give you that?

You don't remember anything?

At all?

We went inside this old chapel and...

No...

- I'm sorry. - It's ok. It's ok.

We'll get there.

I'm going to go and pick up some stuff from home.

Do you want to come be moral support?

I'd love to.

- Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you. - You didn't.

You sure?

You have something you want to say to me? If not, get the fuck out of my house!

You know you've lost, Laura.

- You ok? - Yeah.

Let's get out of here.

Daniel, how did you find such a decent rental?

I know, right?

You wouldn't believe how quickly cherry found this place.

- Hi, guys! - She is a badass property wizard.

Even Max kader was impressed by her.

- Hugo, can we hire cherry immediately? - Hello.

If I'm shown one more place with a feature wall, I will vom.

We are very happy for you both, not at all jealous.

Has Daniel worked out how to use the washing machine yet?

Ha-ha, fuck off.

Aw, I'm just so glad you're not being breastfed anymore.

Brigitte! Savage from you!

What? I am.

Do you know what I really want to know?

I would like to hear the story about how you guys got back together.

'Cos I've...

I've been trying to figure it out, you know,

how cherry managed to win you back.

Hey, don't be such a bitch, bridge, it was a misunderstanding.

Yeah, pretty unfair of Daniel's folks to blame cherry for the accident, right?

What?

Is that what Daniel told you happened?

That's not what happened.

Daniel's mum told me he died.

Wh... what the fuck are you talking about?

Look... look, guys. It's, it's complicated.

It's not complicated.

What's complicated about it?

Ok. I think we need another bottle.

Please.

- I thought your mum was bad. - Please.

Darling, she's the worst. I don't know how your father does it.

She's an absolute nightmare. She's a nightmare.

- Do you guys want a top up? - Daniel, this is divine, what is it?

I am so sorry.

When I saw you out,

I genuinely thought that you'd moved on really fucking fast.

No, I was a mess. I was an absolute mess. I thought he was dead.

I cannot believe this.

Look, Laura, she's like a second mother to me.

I love her.

But recently, she's been acting fucking bat shit.

I mean, I actually... I got my friend a job at her gallery,

and Laura fired her, for no reason.

- Really? - Yeah. Crazy, babe.

So just settle in, everyone, we'll start in 5 minutes,

just waiting for a couple more people to arrive.

There would be some Daniel drama and she'd swan off for weeks,

and I've have to run the whole shit show on my own.

Then she'd accuse me of being incompetent!

- You seem really good at your job. - Thank you!

I was. No honestly, it was ridiculous, her only focus is Daniel.

You'd think he was a toddler.

Did you know she changed all the security codes to his birthday

because it's the only thing she can remember?

Really?

- Why did she fire you? - Literally nothing.

- So wrong. - It is, isn't it?

- Have you managed to find another job? - Not yet.

It's because Laura's been telling everyone how useless you are.

- Is that what's she saying? - Of course.

It's so unfair people are hearing her side of the story.

You know she did it to me? She got me blacklisted.

- That's awful. - She'll do it again.

It just takes one person to speak out about it online.

I don't know what I'd write.

I'll help you, we'll just tag all the major galleries, bloggers...

I do know a few journalists who don't like her.

Perfect, we'll start there and we'll just keep going until it goes viral.

Let's do it over brunch.

It'll be really cathartic.

How's the business plan going?

Yeah, good.

I'm proud of you.

Max told dad he thinks you'll go far.

Thank you.

Holy shit, did you see that?

Is that the team we don't want to win?

We clap both sides. For at least the first few goals.

- How many goals are there? - Lots.

Yeah, you win Polo the same way you win a war.

Whoever can keep going the longest.

Thank god there's a bar.

Look, I... I loved it when I was little.

My mum used to sneak me into the commentator's box

so I could look over everyone.

She didn't even like Polo, but she took me all the time.

Same with rugby.

Was your dad into sports? I mean, obviously not Polo.

No.

Sorry, that was a... That was a stupid thing to say.

I just meant I know how lucky I am to have parents that did so much for me.

Especially my mum, she was... she's incredible.

What?

Why didn't you tell your friends what really happened?

- It sounds crazy, I guess. - It's only fair they know what she did.

Otherwise I look like a... Cold-hearted bitch.

What? No one thinks that.

- Why can't you just tell them the truth? - Because...

It's my mum.

Like...

I know she fucked up, but she's still my mum.

- She's always going to be part my life. - Daniel, she literally tried

- to ruin my life. - Look, I don't want to have an argument.

I'm going to get us some more drinks.

I mean the point of art is to make people feel something,

and that's why Lilith's work made such an impact.

Listen, I wanted to show her work ever since we were in college together.

But then, of course, she won the Turner prize

and she stopped returning my calls.

Please enjoy and take it all in, thank you very much for coming.

Thank you.

Congratulations.

Why don't we speak downstairs in my office.

If you fucking threaten me again, I swear to god...

What? What are you gonna do? You gonna hurt me?

I bet the art world would love to hear about that.

Go on, do it. Do it, Laura.

You know what? I'm not like you.

- I know when to stop. - Fuck off, Laura.

Daniel's going to come to his senses and realise who you really are.

- Sooner than you think. - Really?

Because you're nothing but a cheap little whore with a bad temper.

And I'm going to do everything in my fucking power

to get Daniel out of your life.

Ok.

You're fucking crazy.

My god! My god!

She just attacked me. She just attacked me.

She just... she just... Don't let her come anywhere near me.

Don't let her come anywhere near me. She just attacked me.

My god. My god.

I can't do this. I can't...

I can't do this.

What are you doing?

Stop it.

Hey! Wha... Cherry, what's going on?

My god, cherry,

- what... what's happened to you? - Let go of me.

- No, no, I'm taking you to the hospital. - No, no, no!

- You might need stitches! - I don't want to go to hospital!

Ok, you have to tell me what's going on right now.

I can't do this anymore, I can't do this anymore. My mum was right.

I should've stayed away, I just... I want to go home.

Hey, hey, hey, slow down.

Slow down. What's happened?

I can't tell you. You won't believe me.

Yes I will. Tell me.

- I went to see your mum. - What did you do?

- I didn't do anything, Daniel! - Sorry, sorry...

- I'm not a monster, I went to talk. - Ok, ok, ok, I'm sorry!

I just wanted to make peace. And she went fucking crazy.

And she shouted at me in front of the whole gallery.

And then took me into her office.

And I, and I tried to talk to her and she just got so angry...

What are you saying? My mu... My mum would... never hurt anyone.

She'd never hurt anyone? Daniel!

Have you forgotten what she did to me?

You still don't get what she put me through.

I nearly lost my fucking mind with grief.

You still don't see who she is.

- Cherry... - I don't think you ever will.

You know what? I can't. I can't.

- Wha... - I love you, but I can't do this.

No, wait, wait. Let me...

Your mum cannot be in my life anymore.

Let me at least look at the cuts, ok?

Let me clean you up.

Jesus, cherry. You can't go home like this.

Please.

Last wipe.

Hey.

What are you doing?

I knew you were the one the first time I met you.

You thought I was a wanker,

but I knew.

I bought a flat just so I could talk to you.

I wanted to spend every day with you.

Every night.

I just... I just like being close to you.

I'm not losing you again.

I can't.

I'm choosing you.

Cherry laine...

Will you marry me?
