It's such a waste of a year.

Hey, what do you call a musician without a girlfriend?

I don't know.

Oh, God.

Hey, get us a beer, will you?

I won't be, but I'm just going to dump this in the car.

I'm waiting for you.

Wait once.

Would you like to claim your garter?

No, I think that belongs to the bridegroom.

Thank you very much.

Make an old man happy.

Your money and property, then.

What's wrong with her?

I'm doing...

Come on.

Thank you.

Well, the Pearl and Ickers.

We'll take them off.

It's the Hollywood.

Look, Simon, I don't want to do it here.

Look, can we go in the house?

No, I don't want to go inside.

It wasn't an easy thing for me to do, Tracy.

How do you think it feels for me?

Be on with you a year and then you just dump me.

I'm not dumping you.

I'm doing what I think's best for you.

But I know what's best for me.

Let me decide that.

What would you do if I killed myself?

Don't talk stupid.

I was going to throw myself with a fly over.

Tracy, you're making it impossible for me...

Don't you care about me?

Yes, I care about you.

Maybe too much.

So why won't you see me then?

You know why.

I really love you, Paul.

No, you don't.

Don't tell me what I think. You don't know me.

Tracy, I promise you.

It's not love.

You'll meet somebody your own age and you'll forget all about me.

No, I won't. I'll never forget you, because I won't be here.

Come on. Don't say stuff like that.

So, have you come here every week?

That's how much work I have. I'm an interior designer.

I'm a solicitor.

I never had a party when I got divorced.

I think it's a woman thing.

Five years.

You've got a little girl, Melanie. She's seven and a half.

You got any kids? Yeah, I have a daughter of seven and a boy of 17.

That's a big gap. Different fathers.

You'll treat Sarah right, won't you?

I love her very much.

Well, that's a start.

But I'm warning you, marriage doesn't come easy.

You have to work bloody hard at it.

I thought you said the herons had gone.

What's that over there?

Oh, that's an ornamental one.

I put that there.

I thought it might encourage the real ones to come back.

Do you get the same ones every year?

Yeah, one male, one female.

They're monogamous, you know.

You never see one without the other being far away.

They stand there for hours just fishing.

Magnificent creatures.

But they're being disturbed with that bloody water pipe.

Peter, your mother's tired.

She's gone up to the house to get her bag and things.

I'll get one of the drivers.

Simon, help your nana get her stuff together.

She's pissed.

Where's Philippa?

Oh, she's inside making herself a cup of tea.

She's got a face, huh?

What now?

What now?

She wants to know when the rocker Gibraltar's gonna be setting platinum for her third finger.

Well, buy her a bloody ring. It's about time.

I was married and we had you two by the time I was your age.

I'm just not sure, Dad.

Well, if you're not gonna marry the girl, have the decency to let her find someone who will.

You don't have to get a cab. Give me a lift. The car's just down there.

It's all right.

Why not?

You've been drinking.

I haven't. It's just tonic water.

Look, I'm an alcoholic. I don't drink.

You sell yourself well, don't you? An alcoholic divorcee with a child.

But I got caries, my love.

Cocky alcoholic divorcee with a child. Come on, you.

Well, we'll see you next week, then, eh?

I still haven't time to call it a night.

My mum said they could settle 12.

Now, Kieran, clear that lot up before your mum gets back.

I hope that isn't what I think it is.

It's just a herbal roll-up.

Yeah? And I'm Michael Jackson.

Better open the window.

Saw that?

Yeah, we better pack up. Master of the house has spoken.

Sorry I'm late, love. Were you just trying to ring me?

No, someone rang here. I thought it would be one of Kieran's mates.

Stinks downstairs. Somebody's been smoking.

Putrid morons were here when I got back.

The puried mortals.

Honestly, it's like having two teenagers.

They were doped out of their heads and the house was a tit.

He doesn't smoke dope. He'd tell me if he did.

Alone, huh?

What? He would. Anyway, at least we know where he is.

Fiona's having a sleepover at Katie's.

Great. I keep these on.

What kind of day have you had, my gorgeous?

Don't think I want to be a probation officer any more.

Oh. One of those kind of days.

And why not?

You're not interested?

I am, but more interested in us.

We made a date, remember?

I had a lot of attention tonight.

A lot of men looking at me.

Solicitor, no less,

Wants to give me a lift home with eggs in my brains all night.

But all I can think of is...

There's something I've got to tell you, Alona.

You remember Tracy?

Tracy? What Tracy?

She's got a problem with booze. Mother's a schizophrenic.

Oh, that Tracy.

Nicked four bottles of J&B from Wineways, Tracy.

Amongst other things.

Well, I've been supervising her for over a year now.

She was getting a bit dependent on me.

So I brought her to the team and

They thought it would be best for Liz to take over.

What, and now you're feeling bad about it, are you?

No, it was the right thing to do.

She turned up tonight after the meeting.

She was waiting for me by my car.

Well, she said some very odd things.

I just feel uneasy about the whole thing. I thought you should know.

What are you saying, Paul?

I'm saying you might not just go away.

Have you had sex with her?

For Christ's sake, Alona, what do you think I am?

I'm just asking, that's all.

Well, you shouldn't need to ask.

Not at breakfast, please.

Right, I'm off. Has anyone seen the keys?

On top of the juicer. Are you picking up Fiona?

I thought Bahushka was picking her up.

Bahushka's got her English class.

I'll see if I can get off early.

Well, either you can or you can't. Maybe he's not on the agenda.

It's all right. I'll do it. Good run.

Too much alcohol last night.

Explains the mood.

I'm not in a mood.

What's all that?

I've decided to do two weeks at a time. Savings.

Ah, I hear from some budgie scene.

Opening all those bottles every morning.

Right, well, I'll see you tonight, then.

Yeah. See you later.

Bye, Karen.

You could at least make an effort.

So what happened to you last night?

I came looking for you, but you'd gone.

I waited long enough.

You said you were just putting a bag in the car.

Yeah, but I bumped into somebody that I knew.

You know what it's like. Sorry.

Is everything all right?

Yeah, everything's fine. I've got a meeting to see her.

Peter and Hazel?

Fred, it's just me.

Oh, OK, Peter. If you'd like to come through.

Have a seat.

Did Hazel have second thoughts?

Not that I know of.

I thought she'd be here.

She never tells me anything.

All I know is she said we got this appointment.

Is it all right if I...?

Er...no, sorry.

It was her that wanted to come here in the first place.

So how do you feel about talking to a sex therapist?

Is that what you are? She said you were a counsellor.

Well, I'm a trained counsellor specialising in sex therapy.

Bloody hell. OK, go on, then. Got it?

Well, seeing as Hazel isn't here, we could try and establish

what the problem is from your perspective.

Look, it's perfectly simple. There's no secret about it.

She doesn't like...sex.

Has that always been the case, or is this a recent development?

She was never that keen. You know, like some women.

like some women.

But things have definitely got worse in the last couple of years.

So when was the last time you and Hazel had sex?

God knows. I've lost track. Does it matter?

Well, it gives me some kind of idea how long the problem's been going on.

Must be four or five years.

Yeah, cos it was our silver wedding and she was drunk.

She threw up after we'd finished.

But apart from that, did you enjoy it?

Is the Pope a Catholic? Of course I did.

I don't have a problem.

And was everything OK?

I mean, did you maintain your erection?

And did you ejaculate?

Is this absolutely necessary?

Do you have any problems in that area?

What area?

No, I'm sorry.

I can't be doing with this.

I'm pretty broad-minded, but.

I did ask if you had a problem talking to a therapist.

Perhaps you prefer to see a male therapist.

I'm just not used to talking about things like that.

Of course, I understand.

It's not like counselling.

We do tend to roll our sleeves up and get stuck in, so to speak.

I think it's difficult for a man to tell a woman he has a sexual problem.

I don't have a sexual problem.

Well, that's what most men say when they...

Well, let's put it like this. Nobody else has complained.

By that, I take it you mean other women.

Is that before or after you were married to Hazel?

Just because you can please one woman,

it doesn't necessarily mean you can please another.

It's about knowing your partner, knowing her needs.

And how the hell are you supposed to find that out,

if she won't talk to you or let you near her?

Well, I don't know yet.

I thought she'd be here.

I think maybe we got off on the wrong foot.

Perhaps we should take things a little slower.

Why don't you sit back down, Peter?

I bet you get all sorts coming to you for advice.

I don't broadcast what I do.

I have a teenage son.

I don't think he'd be very happy.

Bet your husband is.

I haven't got a husband anymore.

This is your time, Peter.

This is about you and Hazel, not me.

I just wondered what makes somebody want to be

a sex therapist, that's all, apart from being a nosy parker.

Well, I did a PhD in human psychology and I was a marriage guidance counsellor for seven years.

Couldn't sort your own out, though.

Actually, my husband died.

I'm sorry.

Are you okay to go on?

Depends what you're gonna ask.

There's nothing wrong with a meat and two veg, right?

You have to appreciate it's my job to ask.

So have you tried to initiate sex since your silver wedding?

Yeah, twice.

But then I just gave up.

What's the point? Just causes a rowl.

I thought once the wedding was over, we'd have time for us.

See these?

Flight's at 8.30 tonight.

The hotel's the dog's bollocks.

Was supposed to be a surprise for her.

Might just as well chuck him in the bin now.

That's a lovely thing to do.

I'm the romantic one.

Look, is there any point in me being here if she's not gonna come?

Well, if she changes her mind, at least we'll have made a start.

As I explained to Hazel on the phone,

I need to get a little bit of background history.

Fire away.

What's your relationship like with your mother?

I worship my mother.

A year ago I bought her one of these retirement flats just down the road from where we live.

He doesn't need to mow the lawn. There's a man that comes and does it.

He likes mowing the lawn.

And I don't want him moving in here.

He can visit as often as he likes, but I bought this flat for you, not him.

Well, I suppose I could move into his flat.

It's a one-bedroom oval.

What the hell do you want to move in there for?

Jesus, mother, you're 78.

What's the matter with you?

I love him.

And we haven't got a lot of time left.

Do you resent the fact that your mother's found

someone to share her life?

No, not really.

I'm glad, because she had no life with me dad.

I just want to be able to see her now and then

without him being there.

Did you invite him to the wedding?

Of course.

I know I'm a bit drunk, but that was a bloody smashing wedding.

And I caught the bouquet, didn't I, Morris?

That's cos our Sarah threw it, did you?

And she did all the flowers herself, didn't you, Hazel?

Oh, they were bloody beautiful.

Hey, you know what they say,

if you catch the bride's bouquet, don't you, Morris, eh?

Anytime you want, my darling.

It's all right, I've got it. You get yourself in.

Morris, I've got it.

Watch your head.

Am I?

I can just see your mother in her frothy white wedding dress.

Not while I breathe.

Yeah? What do you want?

It's Georgia.

You know my daughter got married today, don't you?

Yes, I know.

And I'm sorry to ring, but, well, Debbie's been beaten up.

Shit, was it a customer?

Not sure.

Well, where's Clive?

He didn't want me to ring, but I thought you should know.

OK, I'll try and call in later, but I can't promise.

We're going now.

It's been a fantastic wedding.

I'm glad you've enjoyed it.

And you look lovely.

Thank you.

She's got a migraine now, so I'd better get her home.

All right.

Look, if you don't like the job, just leave.

Life's too short.

Job's easy, a bit to sort.

Enjoy the rest of the night, will you?

Night, son.

Night, dad.

God knows what's going on with them two.

It's a wedding if she wants to be married.

That's all it is.

Listen, I might just have to pop into work for a bit.

Yeah, I thought you might.

I'll be an hour at the most.

Heard that before.

Why can't Rick go as your partner?

It's one of the girls I took on.

What's that mean?

I thought she was spoiling for the row,

so I did what I always do when she's like that.

Walk away and hope she'd be in a better mood when I got back.

She was doing a one-to-one in the VIP room with the manager

from the King's Hotel.

The little fat man with the goatee.

Yeah, that's the one.

I was doing the cash.

The next minute I looked over at the monitor

and she was sat on his lap and she was clearly giving him one.

What is the matter with that girl?

What are you being told about shagging the customers?

It went me tea break.

It doesn't matter what it was.

You know the rules.

This is a respectable club, not a brothel.

He didn't pay me for the shag, just for a dance.

Well, she thinks we're bloody stupid.

What do you do it for then, Debbie, eh?

Come on.

Air miles.

Excuse me?

Well, it's true.

He only need another 2,000.

Go to a wire.

He has loads to give away.

You get air miles if you book an executive room at the King's.

If you don't get claimed, it's up to him what he does with him.

I've got me holidays coming up soon, so I wanted to get them in.

This is your last chance.

If you do it again, you'll be down the road, do you hear?

I'm sorry, Mr. Delaney.

What am I going to do about my face?

Take the rest of the night off.

Oh, thanks.

Don't be so handy with your fists in future.

It was just a backhand, Andy.

And she went at me first, sunk her teeth into me hand.

If anything happens like that again, you'll ring me.

Yeah, well, I would have done normally, but I knew it was your daughter's wedding.

Did, er, Georgie ring you?

No. I just popped in to leave the hotel number where I was staying.

Listen, it won't happen again.

Anyway, it's a good example for the other girls in case they were getting any ideas.

You go off. Don't worry about this place.

See you in a fortnight, then.

Yeah. Hazel! Hazel!

There's a taxi outside waiting. What's going on?

Dishwashers stacked, top two drawers of the freezer,

got ready-made meals, the shirts are all ironed,

your new blue suit needs picking up from the cleaners

on Friday, and Marion will be on Monday to clean.

Oh, yes, and feed the fish.

Where the hell are you going?

I don't know.

Somewhere on my own to think about what I'm going to do

with the rest of my life.

What's that supposed to mean?

What about me?

Well, you just might not figure in the equation, Peter,

believe it or not.

Hang on a minute.

What have I done wrong?

Where are you going?

You can't just...

Have you got your mobile with you?

What about this appointment tomorrow morning?

Hazel! Hazel!

Why would she just leave like that?

I don't...

Sorry, Paul, I was just...

Peter. My name's Peter.

Isn't that what I said?

You called me Paul.

Did I? I'm...

I'm sorry.

Right, what was I saying? Oh, yeah, this, um, Debbie.

What kind of relationship do you have with her?

What do you mean?

Is she your mistress?

No way.

She's a heart of gold, but if you were hung for beauty,

she'd die innocent, bless her.

But you have had affairs.

I didn't say that.

And I wouldn't tell you if I have.

Well, you don't have to tell me.

I kind of surmise that you have from what you said earlier.

How do I know that you're not going to tell Hazel?

Because everything you say in this room

is completely confidential.

That's why.

I work with a lot of women, and, well, let's just say

I never go looking for them.

And I've always been discreet.

So Hazel doesn't know?

Well, I'm not one of these that go blabbing about it.

Feel I have to ease my conscience.

That's a load of bollocks.

That's very considerate.

You know, often when someone finds out

their partner's had an affair, it's not so much the sex that

bothers them as the lies and the feeling of being betrayed.

I need a cigarette.

Maybe you don't like what you're hearing.

I only had affairs because she never showed me any affection.

Was it affection or sex?

What's the difference?

Didn't give me either.

Did you fall in love with any of these women?

Once, I got close to someone.

But I never, ever stopped loving Hazel.

Not for a minute.

And I'm not just saying that.

But you think you can't love two people at the same time?

Yes, I think you can.

It was the best and the worst time of my life.

She got pregnant.

All got a bit messy.

So you have a child with another woman.

Are you having an affair at the moment, Peter?

What's that got to do with it?

It's got everything to do with it.

If you're having sex with someone else,

it makes a huge difference.

Actually, there's evidence to suggest that we're not

naturally monogamous.

And an affair can sometimes, you know, spice up a marriage.

I'm not having an affair.

I'm not having sex with anyone, not now, not for a long time.

At least I know what I'm dealing with.

Well, I'm sorry, but that's it.

Time's up.

We've just started, haven't we?

Well, you've been here an hour.

Right, well, thanks for listening.

No problem. And if you could persuade Hazel to come in for therapy, it would be...

If I see her? I told you, she's left me.

Oh, right.

Well, if she does come back and you want to make another appointment, then just ring.

I'm not sure I can really help you without speaking to the pair of you.

Okay, cheers.

Here's a hundred, all right?

It's £40. I'll just get you a receipt.

That's all right. Just put it in your pocket.

What about Erin's?

What about them?

They're monogamous, aren't they?

I've no idea.

They are, I'm sure they are.

Well, thanks again.

Did you keep notes?

I mean, all your meetings with her are logged, aren't they?

Most of them.

There were a couple of times she just turned up at the centre,

and once I gave her a lift home.

So what's the bottom line?

Is it just going to go away?

I've no idea.

Paul, I'm trying to get a measure of this.

It's affecting me as well.

I had a client in this morning, and I couldn't concentrate.

I don't know what she's gonna do.

I think she's infatuated with me.

And she's manipulative in that kind of innocent, helpless way.

I don't want to hear anymore.

Alona, where are you going?

What about this evening, straight after work?

Oh, yeah, fantastic.

I'll be right with you.

What time you finished?

Right, Janet, if you'd like to come through.

Oh, it's Hazel.

Hazel Delaney.

Oh, right, I thought you were coming this morning.

It changed my mind.

I rang, and they said your 2.30 had cancelled.

Oh, well, they might have told me.

That's fine.

Come through.

I realise I'll have to pay for this morning.

Oh, no, your husband's already done that.

Peter's been on his own.

Are you surprised?

Yeah, a bit.

Have a seat.

How was he?

He was fine.

I think he was hoping you'd be here.

I just let him talk, really.

It's pretty clear he doesn't think he has a sexual problem.

Well, he hasn't.

Yes, I don't think he has.

It's me.

Can you tell me what that problem is?

It's OK, Hazel.

We'll take our time.

Would you pick a stone out of that bowl for me?

A stone that you feel some kind of affinity with.

Oh, sorry.

Sorry about that.

Why that one?

Oh, I don't know.

It's small and looks like the odd one out.

In your own time, try and explain what the problem is.

What made you ring for an appointment?

I don't really know what I feel. I'm confused about everything.

I don't know whether I want to be with Peter or not.

I mean, I've been waiting for the children to leave,

praying for the day so I can leave too.

But now, I spent the whole night upset,

remembering all the great times we had.

Well, that's understandable.

It's like the start of a whole grieving process.

I would have been away from him for one night.

Yeah, but you've been planning it for a while.

The thing is, I don't even like him near me any more.

Well, a lot of couples who've been together for a long time go off sex.

I've never been on it.

Did you have any kind of sex education at school?

I went to a convent school. There's no such thing as sex.

And here, as we got to it, was health and hygiene once a month.

I remember them teaching us how to iron a bra.

And to make sanitary towels out of old sheets.

That's helpful.

And what about the playground? You must have swapped notes with other kids.

I remember Pauline Bowman's had a copy of Lady Chatterley's Lover.

Oh, it was absolutely filthy.

Oh, yeah. The forget-me-nots and the love here.

Oh, I was just remembering about that's all.

What do you think about Mary?

Don't remember a Mary.

No, Mary, Jesus' mother.

Oh, I laid it well. She's the ideal, isn't she?

She's perfect. She's what we all aspire to be like.

I'd have liked to have been a virgin when I got married.

Need to tell you, I was pregnant.

Did you think about birth control?

It was bad enough having sex before marriage, but that...

that would have been a mortal sin.

Well, who would have known? God, the all-seeing, all-knowing?

Are you Catholic?

Well, my father was. Is Peter Catholic?

When did you meet?

We met at Woodhouse Feast.

I was nearly 17.

I got a job as an apprentice florist. I'd been saving up.

First time I clapped eyes on him.

He was stood on the back of one of them bumping cars.

He wasn't what you'd call handsome, but, oh...

He definitely had something about him.

It felt like we belonged together.

Does he still make you laugh?

My mother-in-law's partner

has had to fall in asleep after dinner

and snore him really loudly.

What was that?

What happened?

What was that bang?

Must have been next door's cat.

Laughter's so important in a relationship, isn't it?

Sorry, I interrupted you.

You were saying you met Peter at Woodhouse Feast.

Because my parents took an instant dislike to him.

He didn't have a proper job, so he sold seafood round the pubs and he had a motorbike.

They soon changed their tune when they found out I was pregnant.

Nearly fell down on their knees in gratitude cos he was going to marry me.

Do you remember enjoying sex before you were married?

I've never liked it. I only did it because I knew if I didn't he'd go off and find somebody else who would.

Why are you here, Hazel? What are you hoping to achieve?

It's Peter's mother's fault that I'm here, really.

About a year ago, I took her round some dinner like I always did.

But there was no answer, so I rang the supervisor's bell.

It's not like her. She knows what time I come.

I mean, I do wait every weekday.

Audrey? Anyone at home?

What time is it?

You all right? You're not feeling very well?

Who is it, Audrey?

to put me face. I mean it was just the last thing I expected. I mean, you don't think

of your parents or your in-laws in that way, do you? And anyway, Peter's father had only

been dead 15 months.

Did you talk to her about it?

Well, she called round to the house the next day.

I brought your plate back. Is everything all right?

Fine. Peter's in the living room.

Did you say anything to him about Morris?

I told him you had a visitor.

I didn't go into details.

It can be a wonderful thing, can't sex, Hazel?

I'm sure it can.

I was with Peter's father for 52 years, and I dreaded it.

I'd do anything to avoid it.

He'd come to bed, and he'd be nudging and shoving me

to wake up, and keep me legs crossed and me eyes shut.

Yes, really.

But with Maurice, it's different.

He understands women.

He knows what to do.

He's unleashed a passion in me, Hazel, a passion I never knew I had.

And I could see he had.

She's not 10 years younger.

I don't know if Peter had talked to her about our sex life,

but it was as if she knew.

I mean, we have about six months later.

They came around for a family supper,

and we were just setting the table, and she told me.

I'm sorry about Morris.

That's all right.

Just as long as you're happy, that's all.

No, I mean, with him being a bit moody.

I didn't notice.

What's the matter with him?

Well, he's upset.

He just doesn't think he's up to scratch.

How do you mean?

He thinks he's below par.

Well, I've told him I'm very happy, but it's bothering him.

So we're going to see someone.

Oh, the little man and the woman with the gray bob.

Yeah, that's them.

She said you'd helped.

Well, I didn't do anything, really.

They only came to see me once.

It does satisfy me.

It's just that we don't do it as often as we did before you

moved into the flat.

How many times a week do you do it?

Every day.

Every day?

Sometimes, though, now only once.

And I do like to do it in the morning as well,

or when the snooker's finished on the TV in the afternoon.

Well, how can I put this?

Sometimes when a man gets into his later years,

it can take a little longer to recover after an ejaculation.

It's all right.

Penises have sex, and the penis is not the only way

to satisfy a woman.

But I'm sure I'm teaching my grandma how to suck eggs.

Anyway, her eyes lit up.

I think she thought it was some new sexual technique.

She said, um, you'll give them some homework.

Did I?

Um, well, I'd have to look back on my notes.

But yeah, I might set them a couple of tasks.

Of course, Morris knew everything that was on the list.

He's very experienced, you know.

I've got you some more of that rhubarb and ginger jam.

Oh, lovely.

I just think he felt inadequate because he thought something was wrong.

Right. How many of these candles do you need?

Ooh, lots.

It's bath night tonight.

Once he knew it was normal, then everything was fine.

And we didn't half have a good time going through all those different things, though.

I could get you the phone number, if you like.

Do you know what Cunnilingus is?

I said I did, but I didn't have a clue, really.

What's the face for?

Because it's... Well, it's his mouth, isn't it?

I mean, you don't... You don't put your mouth down there.

Oh, come on. I don't want to talk about it. It's too revolting.

It makes me shudder to even think about it.

Do you like your body, Hazel?

Never really thought about it.

Do you ever look at yourself in the mirror when you're naked?

No, what for?

Have you ever seen your vagina?

Have you ever masturbated?

No, I have not.

Most women do.

Yeah, well, I don't know any.

Well, you do now.

Do you know what an orgasm is?

Of course I do.

Have you ever had one?

Hazel, you don't have to answer that question if it makes you feel uncomfortable.

I just don't want to be like Audrey.

I'll wait until 78.

Well, Audrey's lucky.

Some women never experience an orgasm.

Oh, well, maybe they're with the wrong man.

Or maybe they're just too frightened to tell the man what they want.

Maybe they don't know what they want.

They have to learn to tune in to their own sexuality.

Is that why you left Peter? To find your Morris?

No. I left Peter because I'm bloody angry with him, that's why.

What's he done?

Oh, where do I start?

Everything he does annoys me.

He left all the arrangements for the wedding to me.

And then when he stands up and gives the father of the bride speech,

he thanked everybody but me.

Maybe he had a surprise for you for after the wedding.

Oh, if he wouldn't even have given me a second thought.

And then to top it all, on the evening of the wedding,

he gets a call on the mobile, of course.

Then he announces he's got to go into work,

like I'm a complete idiot, because everybody

knew where he was going.

Where's that?

To see some woman, that's what.

Not that I've always had so many affairs I've lost track.

Not that I'm bothered any more.

But we still had guests. It was rude.

He said it doesn't bother you any more.

Did it bother you once?

Did he tell you he had affairs?

Everything he told me is confidential,

just as everything you tell me is confidential.

I think it does bother you, Hazel, doesn't it?

He's humiliated me.

He's made me feel I'm not worth loving.

Do you love him?

I feel numb. I know I loved me children and I know I loved him once like I've loved no one else.

But now, help me.

I'll do my best. It's not gonna happen overnight.

Then should I go back to him?

Hazel, I can't tell you what to do.

I mean, do you really think we make a difference, Gavin, cos sometimes I wonder?

Course we do. You know we do. You've just had a bad day, that's all.

I was crap. I wasn't even listening to what he was saying, I was irritated with him, I didn't even want him in the room.

Maybe when the sex stops it's nature's way of telling us to move on.

I don't think so.

Oh, look, do you fancy doing this over in the pub? I need a large whisky and coke.

I've just been down to the water board, they're gonna check they haven't diverted the water somewhere else.

I got the appointment this morning, she's very good.

What are you doing with him?

I'm going to thread them through my pubic hair.

He is a likeable shit. Very charismatic and he knows it.

No idea how to please a woman. Never had to, so why bother?

He's had mistresses all his married life, I think.

He's got a kid to some woman he had an affair with and his wife's no idea.

She asked me if she should go back to him.

I felt as though not unless you're barking mad,

he'll never change. Conceited bastards like that never do.

Anyway, I gave her some photos

told her to look at her vagina with a mirror every day.

She won't do it.

I just know she won't.

I better make tracks.

Is everything all right at home, then?

Not really.

Paul and Kieran are still arguing all the time,

and there's still not much happening in the sack.

Date for sex not working.

This week, he's got problems at work.

Anything you could talk about?

Not really.

Well, actually, I feel like he's holding something back.

Like what?

Because this girl he's been supervising

and he's passed it on to someone else.

Only she doesn't want that.

She wants Paul.

I just get the feeling I only know half the story.

You know, he's in a very vulnerable position,

working with young people.

It can't be easy.

I know.

You do trust him though, don't you?

I don't know.

Maybe it's just the work that's making him paranoid.

What you doing in there?

Two tickets to Bali, leaving at 8.30 tonight.

You wanna go?

Did your mistress not want to go with you then?

What mistress?

I'm the mistress you told sex therapist about.

What the hell do you think you're doing?

I am not having an affair.

Why can't you just be honest?

You've made a great double act, me and you.

Tonight you're going to be a punter.

So what goes on in there again?

That's for you to know and me to find out.

What should I do if I kill myself?

You're making it impossible for me.

Don't you care about me?

What have you been told about shagging the customers?

This is a respectable club, not a brothel.

I like a bingo.

There's something I've got to tell you, Alona.

Have you had sex with her?

So you have a child with another woman?

I only had a face cos she never showed me any affection.

I don't know whether I want to be with Peter or not.

Just cos you live in a posh house!

You think you're fairer than me!

I'm telling you now, what a lot of you!

Come on, darling, let's go and find Bahushka.

Who is it?

Bloody nutter!

I don't like it, Mummy.

Jesus, I've had enough of this.

Where are you going?

To talk to her.

That's exactly what she wants.

Why don't you just ring the police and let them handle it?

I can't do that.

She'll be right back to square one.

I'll ring Liz. I'll get her over here.

What do you think's gonna pay for that window?

Bloody hell are you?

Paul's brother?

Not Elizabeth, me mam.

No, he doesn't freaking like me!

He doesn't like me, no!

Shit! What the hell's he doing?

I was gonna say that!

Denise! Denise!

Karen, leave her alone!

I didn't say anything. It was her who said it to me.

What do you think you're doing?

I've got another section of me mam again.

Yeah, well, you should have phoned Liz.

She's your probation officer now.

Why don't you ring Liz?

You've got to tell them to let me see you again.

Tracy, it was me that asked for you to see somebody else.

Now will you let go of me?

What have I done wrong?

Nothing. I've told you before.

If you let me see you again, I won't say oh.

About what? Kieran, get back in the house.

About what we did.

I don't know what you're talking about.

You liar. You bloody liar!

Hey, stop that!

It's all right, I'm handling it.

Don't tell me you live with that old bag.

Shut up, you stupid little slap!

All right, that's enough!

Now look what you've done.

She must have been ferreting through my bag.

Found something with my address on it.

I don't know.

Well, do you remember leaving her alone with your stuff?

No, I must have done.

I'm not going to give her my address, am I?

What got me is how I get the bollocking when

she's the one laying it to me.

I wasn't bollocking you.

I was trying to protect you.

No, well, do us a favour.

Don't bother next time.

OK, let's leave it.

What's going to happen to her?

Public order offence.

Might be criminal damage.

That's why I didn't want to ring police.

Well, she can't go around breaking people's windows.

Anyway, it's not my worry they'll get in contact with

lest she can deal with it.

How come she didn't know about me and Mum?

Because I don't talk to offenders

about my personal life, that's why.

And in future, don't get involved in my work, OK?

No, you mean in case they hear something I shouldn't.

It's the police who want to speak to you.

It's regarding Tracy Ellis.

We'd like you to come to the station.

You all right?

Go to bed.

I love you.

What made you say that?

Come here.

I just realized I hadn't said it to you for a long time,

that's all.

Do you think there's something going on between him

and that girl?

Look, I know you don't like Paul.

But if there's one thing that-

I do like him.

You've got to admit, he's a bit of a wanker sometimes, though.

Well, none of us perfect.

And he does make me happy.

As much as my dad did?

Well, he's the next best thing.

And your dad wouldn't have wanted me to be on my own.

Yeah, but you weren't on your own, though.

And another thing, you never talk about my dad anymore.

You did when he first died, but now it's like he never existed.

Well, it's been nine years since he...

That's all you're saying. I should have forgotten about him.

No. No, he was your dad and he will always be your dad.

But sometimes we have to move on, love.

What if I don't want to?

I mean, it's you who has to move on.

Yes, Kieran, I do have to move on. I've got Fiona to think about now.

Well, what about me?

Oh, Ciaran, she's seven years old and, you know, Paul is her father.

Yeah, well, you didn't hear what that girl was saying to him.

Yeah. Well, Liz will come and see you when she gets back.

I don't want to see her. I'm out of guts. I want Paul.

You can't have Paul.

Tracy, did you say those things to the police because you were angry with him?

I'm not angry with him!

Oh, I know people think I make stuff up because me mum's a skit-side.

And I do sometimes, but I know when I'm doing it.

I know what's the truth and what's not.

And I told the truth tonight.

I just hope I don't get him into trouble.

So, what's happening? Are they gonna charge you?

Why do I get the feeling you'd love it if I said yes?

And why do you look at me like you hate me?

What is the matter with you?

I've just had a really difficult time.

I've been answering questions for five and a half hours.

And I don't want to talk about it anymore.

Well, you're gonna have to, because I want some answers.

You know, for a counsellor and a therapist,

You know sod all about people.

Yeah, and for someone who works with young people, you know sod all about my son.

Why is it when every time I want to do something...

Hello, love.

I thought you'd got burglars you're supposed to be in Barley.

Who told you that?

Dad. He's been planning it for weeks.

It's supposed to be a surprise.

He had a fantastic five-star hotel for you.

So you're still mad at him, then?

What's the bag for?

I thought I might come back home for a beer, if that's all right.

What is it this time?

She's just a moody cow and I can't stand it anymore.

You'll be back together next week.

I don't think so.

Is it all right if I put my stuff in my old room?

I thought you said everything I told you was confidential.

It is. Excuse me.

Then how come you told me wife had had an affair?

I didn't.

Then why did she say, idiot?

I've no idea. At rough guess, she's testing you.

Now, do you have an appointment this morning?

Then if you want to speak to me, you have to make an appointment.

And now I'm going inside.

I'm not leaving till I've found out.

Then I'll have to call the police.

So now the real person comes out.

So you didn't tell Hazel that had an affair?

You heard me the first time.

You lied to me. I've been to see that therapist and made a bloody fool of myself.

Well, it proves you did say that to her.

Or you'd have known I was lying and you wouldn't have had to go, would you?

Excuse me.

Your word.

I'm sorry, I just can't get my brain round that kind of perverted logic.

Why don't you just admit it?

Admit what? I am not having an affair.

Nothing will happen. I'm not going to divorce you.

You can get it off your chest.

Why can't you just be honest?

Then at least we can have a clean start.

When you told me you'd book for us to see a therapist,

I went into the first travel agent I came across

and paid £8,500 for a holiday in Bali.

Now, that is what I call a clean start.

We have unresolved issues.

Unresolved issues?

Is that something else you're supposed to have said?

No, that's what I'm saying.

Well, for the life of me, I don't know what they are.

I'm not stupid, Peter.

Do you want to scramble this?

Is this because I went into work on the night of Sarah's wedding?

I had to go in

because I thought we were going away for two weeks

and I've got a dodgy manager who I'm going to have to get rid of.

I swear on Sarah's life, that is the truth.

Do you believe me?

Yes, love, I just want you to be happy. Us to be happy.

I don't know how to be.

Well, at least let me try.

Maybe I can get a refund on holiday.

Maybe we can go late.

Not an appointment with a loaner tomorrow.

We don't need some therapist. We just have to get us right.

We do need her! I need her!

Well, let's just go away for a couple of days, then.

No, I've got to get this sorted out.

I'll only feel like...

Like someone's expected of me.

Cos you've taken me on holiday.

Who's reading Lady Chatterley's Lover?

Where'd you find that?

The bathroom. It's a bit raunchy for you in it, Mum.

Get yourself a plate.

You wanna watch it, Dad? She'll be getting a gardener next.

Thought you had an English degree.

He's a gamekeeper.

So what are you doing here?

Oh, he's fallen out with Philippa.

Bloody hell, you get rid of one and get one back.

I'm gonna pop the job in.

I'm going to look for something part-time.

I thought you might have something for me at the club.

You didn't do an honours degree to work in a nightclub.

Well, if it's just temporary.

You said you was having trouble with the manager.

Might be a good idea to have someone you can trust.

It'd be perfect.

I'd have all day to write.

The thing that keeps going round and round in my brain

is that he was supervising her for the best part of a year,

about exactly the same time as our sex

life started to go downhill.

Maybe he has got feelings for her.

How would you feel about that?

I'd be bloody devastated.

The facts are she's 16, beautiful.

She needs him and he needs to be needed.

But you're not exactly needed.

I was when we first met though.

I think Graham had only died the year before and I was still an emotional wreck.

No thanks.

No thank you.

Are you alright?

Yeah, excuse me.

Was it something I said?

No, it was the song.

Not nice?

Too nice.

That's a problem.

For what it's worth, that's just an opinion.

I think he must be a complete nutter.

You're very attractive.

Well, he was my husband.

He died of cancer last year.

God, I'm sorry.

He was diagnosed on July the 5th and he died on September the 16th.

It was such a shock.

Do you want to go somewhere and talk?

There was no problem then.

You must be joking.

We couldn't give a hand over each other.

I suppose I still feel the same.

I'm sorry, Paul.

Why didn't you talk to me first?

I gave you plenty of opportunity to explain

what happened that night.

Why did you lie to me?

You should be pleased.

I want to go into the family business.

It's not a family business.

It's not the kind of place I want you to work.

Why not?

Why not?

Why do you think?

I wouldn't dare begin to add up how much

I've spent on your education.

The grammar school alone cost 2,000 a term.

They're all paid for by money from the clubs.

What's the real reason, Dan?

What do you mean? That is the real reason.

You flattened the matter cramp your style.

Oh, grow up, Simon.

Most lads don't want to go anywhere near anything their father does.

Maybe it's a way of getting near you.

What's that supposed to mean?

Dear God, how come my family's so screwed up?

I'll be back in a minute.

Oh, God, there's that head-unblock I was telling you about.

Shut his c...

Do you want to go?

I owe you an apology for this morning.

It's fine.

Well, can I buy you both a drink?

Er, no. No, it's okay.

Oh, come on. Then I won't feel so bad.

What about your friend?

Gavin Pearce.

We work together.

Oh. You two must have some interesting conversations.

It's just sex, really.

Right. Yeah, that's right.

I thought you were...

She came home, you know.

I gathered.

Did you tell her to?

She told me she's got an appointment for tomorrow.

Should I come along?

I really need to see her on her own.

Should I make a separate appointment then?

Well, why don't you come together next time?

I'll have a word with Hazel.

Okay. See ya.

Sorry about.

No problem.

Who were they?

Regulars at the club.

Look, I've been thinking. What about a week's trial?

I'm not gonna tell you again. I don't want my son working there.

Why? What have you got to hide?

I'm not gonna show you up or anything. They don't even have to know I'm your son.

I can't work it out, Dad. Are you ashamed of me or something?

Get yourself a job anyway. Just not there.

End of discussion, Simon.

No, Peter sent me.

Peter's away.

As a matter of fact, he didn't go. He rang me once or two.

To what?

Who are you?

Flow Hostess.

Ah, right. I thought you couldn't be the manager.

Is that why Peter sent you?

Yeah, he's having a few problems in that department, right?

You should have said, Sam George. It was me that told him about Clive.

Ah, yeah, he mentioned that.

So what exactly is the problem, then?

Well, I'll tell you what I think, but what it's worth.

Clive has taken a cut off Debbie and Natalie.

A cut?

Yeah, I put money on it.

They get all of the IP rooms, especially Debbie,

and the office door's always locked when they're in there.

They're using this place like a brothel.

I mean, Clive's a glorified pot, and Pete

will get his license taken away to find out,

but I've got no proof.

Well, maybe we can get some proof.

A couple of times, but it's not really my scene.

It's not as tacky as the last one I went to, though.

So do you dance?

No, I just make sure the customers are happy

and the girls behave themselves.

We have strict rules,

cocktail dresses before 12 o'clock

because we get a better class of punter before then.

We get a fine for chewing gum,

mobile phones and turning late.

That's pretty strict, then.

Yeah, well, we have to be.

We're dealing with sex, booze and cash

and that's what we know about.

That's Natalie on the phone.

Girls pay us £20 floor fee

and we take 30% commission.

Bit steep, innit?

Some of these girls are over £600 a night.

Sierra over there, white dress, front extensions.

A punter bought her an MX5.

Through here are the booms.

There's panic buttons in each one and Arnie patrols the corridors every half an hour.

But no sex.

That's right. House rules, no touching supposedly.

That applies to the customer and the girls.

So which one's Debbie then?

Peter Talia. He gave her a couple of nights off. Her face were a mess.

So we're not gonna do it tonight then?

No. Tonight you're going to be a punter.

A platinum punter.

This gets you in the VIP room which is just here.

So what goes on in there again?

That's for you to know and me to find out.

Nice to see you rush back.

I had supervision with Gavin.

You had supervision the other night.

How many supervisions do you need?

A lot right now, as a matter of fact.

Well, I need some support.

I've been suspended.

Oh, that's nice.

See, they must think you've done something wrong.

No, it's procedure, that's all.

Pending investigation.

Well, I thought it was her word against yours.

Or is it something else I don't know about?

I told you.

She was waiting for me after the council meeting.

Somebody saw us.

What, and they've suspended you for that?

Well, they have to.

She's saying stupid things.

Her mother's a registered schizophrenic

in and out of mental hospitals.

Right, so how long is this investigation going to last?

No idea.

Never been investigated before.

Right, fine.

Well, has anybody started making any supper?

Well, look, she finds it eating out because I'm shattered

and I don't feel like cooking.

Or we could grab something light and go to the pictures.

Might take your mind off it.

Or you could just sit there and not cheer him up all night.

The choice is yours.

I don't even know what's on.

I thought Spacey was great.

Then he always is, isn't he?

Just get inside his head, do you know what I mean?

I can understand him.

Whereas that woman was...

Oh, I thought she was much better than him.

I knew exactly where she was coming from.

Well, you would, wouldn't you, being a woman?

No, it's not that.

You're bound to take her side. It's common sense.

No, I don't take sides on my job, so why should I...

How do you take sides?

He'd always done about some local's brains in his trousers.

I think I must have said that once in eight years.

And actually, in that case, the man's

brains were in his trousers.

But I'm glad to see he realized he was causing his wife

some distress, and he did something about it.

You should talk about this.

I don't want to talk tonight.

I'll say something I'll regret.

We'll talk tomorrow.

Yeah, when it's right for you, Mrs. Therapist.

Listen, I know exactly what you're doing.

Oh, do you?

Yes, I do.

Just because things aren't going well at work,

Trying to insinuate that I'm crap at my job because that makes you feel better or tough because I'm not crap as a matter of fact

I'm good a damn sight better than most

The hell do you think you're doing?

Didn't you be back too late get out of my bed? Well if you'd have bought me a double bed like an ass out

Did you pick a fight so you wouldn't have to make love to me? Why do you have to analyze everything?

I'm going to sleep

Lots of men do things like that

Me and my sister found three magazines at the back of my father's wardrobe

It's worse than porn magazines, because, well, he talks to them.

Well, he writes to them.

It's like he'd rather be on his computer than come to bed with me.

At least he's just looking.

He's not actually being unfaithful to you.

Those bastard developers!

They've dragged that pipe through and buggered everything up.

Look, there's supposed to be three natural springs feeding our pond.

Oh, morning, love. I didn't know you were here.

Do you know where Simon is?

No idea.

I think Philippa was hoping he'd be here.

So what have you fallen out over?

It's personal.

Well, if I don't know, I can't help, can I?

Simon, I've been ringing you.

Your mother's been worried. Where have you been?

I went to a nightclub.

Just 11 in the morning!

I fell asleep and a mate set here, didn't I?

Well, in future, ring and let us know.

Well, maybe we should just leave you two to talk.

I've got nothing to say.

Hey, perhaps Philippa has.

I just want you to come home, Simon.

It doesn't matter about the computer thing.

What computer?

It's not gonna work, Philippa.

It's because of what I told you.

You haven't told me anything.

I just don't feel the same towards you as I did.

I just don't understand what I've done wrong.

What am I supposed to have done?

She's asking your question, son.

I shouldn't do anything. That's part of the problem.

Full-packed Simon, go after her.

Dad, don't get involved.

You grow fond of people.

I mean, she sat round our dinner table.

There's no reason to stay with her, is it?

To be honest with you, I just don't really like her very much.

Everybody goes through bad patches.

It's not a bad patch.

She's very upset.

Oh, all right. I'm sorry about it.

I didn't know she sighed this overnight, did I?

Well, you do as you like, son.

But in my book, she's got everything.

She's got money. She's bonny.

It's not about that, Dad. It's her, how she is.

I just don't want to be with her.

Have you ever not wanted to be with me?

No, never.

We need to have a family meeting tonight.

Me as well?

No, not you, darling.

Right, I'm off to work.

You have a good day, sweetheart.

I'll see you when I get home.

Bye, mother.

When I was having Simon, I remember the midwife holding

me head up and telling me to watch him coming out of me.

I thought it looked awful.

It was so messy, it looked like an animal being born.

I felt more like a cow than a human being.

It felt degrading.

Well, maybe it was just a bit of a shock for you.

I went private when I had Sarah.

And Lady Chatterley's lover.

How are you getting on with that?

About a quarter of the way through it.

Don't seem as filthy as it did when I was younger.

In fact, some of it made me feel...

Sort of aroused.

Good. That's very good.

And did you do anything about it?

I don't know.

I'm sure the feeling would have gone if...

If what?

If Peter had started anything.

So what did you do?

I just did what you told me to do.

You know, I'd look at myself with the mirror.

But this time, it looked different.

How different?

It was more plumped up.

It was a bit like a flower.

It had a rosy glow to it.

Soft, pink, shiny folds.

So you thought it looked nice?

Well, not as horrible as it was before.

And did you masturbate?

It's all right.

It would have been a perfectly natural thing to do.

I didn't.

Well, I'm hoping that might be our next step.

I'd like you to mark the bits in the book

that you find erotic, and then over the next couple of days,

I'd like you to read the book again.

Only this time, I'd like you to imagine that you're Connie

and fantasise that you're with Millers inside the hut.

Do you think you can do that?

I have no idea, but I'll have a go.

I think it was somewhat to do with being in the bath.

It didn't seem so dirty.

I mean, I know it isn't, and I know other people do it,

but I can't help how I feel.

Well, it still feels...wrong.

Did anyone ever tell you it was dirty or wrong?

Perhaps at your convent school or perhaps your mum and dad?

I don't remember.

What was your first sexual experience?

I don't necessarily mean intercourse.

I mean the first time somebody touched you or...

Do you remember?

Robert McGarry kissed me outside the YMCA.

I think I was about 14.

Was that good?

It's quite obvious.

Quite somebody fancied me.

Why wouldn't they?

Because, erm...

Well, because I always felt kind of...

What? What did you feel?

I was 12.

Me and my sisters were playing rounders in the park opposite where we lived.

It was about ten of us.

Jennifer Armstrong hit the ball and it went flying off into the bushes and I ran after it.

The man, the man crept holding me, he put his hand in between my legs, but I screamed

really loudly and he ran off.

My sisters took me home, and my mother, she went hysterical, I can remember shaking and

My father called the police, and they had to have this internal examination, this police

woman holding me legs open.

The doctor told me, Mother, I was still a virgin.

And that was all she seemed to care about.

My mother told me never to mention it,

because it was a dirty, filthy thing that he did.

And nobody would want to marry me if they knew.

So you felt soiled.

That's exactly how I felt.

Why were you ashamed?

You were a little girl. You did nothing wrong.

But he picked me, not my sisters or any of the others.

Yeah, but you were the one that went running off into the bushes. It could have happened to any one of you.

Yeah, but it happened to me.

Have you ever told Peter about this?

No. No.

Yeah? Can I ring you back?

Ready for you.

So what kind of week have you had, Peter?

Well, apart from being here when I thought I'd be in Bali and my son and his girlfriend breaking up, yeah, I'm all right.

Everything all right here?

I think we're making progress.

So, I understand from Hazel that there's been no sexual contact between you.

Nothing new there then?

She's had some very funny things though.

I suppose that's what you two discuss in this room.

That's right.

You can always ask Hazel what we talk about and what her tasks are.

She might like to tell you.

Well she might not.

Well yeah, that part of the therapy has to be at Hazel's own pace.

Meanwhile, I'd like the two of you to begin working together, if that's OK.

Anything. I'll do absolutely anything. Just you tell me what you want me to do.

All right, then. Well, I'd like you to put aside some time this week,

maybe two or three occasions, where you enjoy each other's bodies.

Don't think I'm ready.

Can I just finish?

This doesn't include the genital areas or the breasts.

What's the point of that, then?

Well, the point is to enjoy touching your partner's body and being touched.

The whole object of the exercise is to enjoy the sensation,

not necessarily to be turned on by it.

In fact, intercourse is forbidden during this period.

Mind if I do? I haven't seen you near before.

It's my first time. I've just moved to Yorkshire.

I'm the manager of Golf Flights travel agency.

Very posh. So where did you go on your holidays this year?

The Maldives.

Did you know that's somewhere I've always wanted to go?

Is that one of the perks of the job?

Yeah. And this.

You should have shown me that earlier.

You could have taken me into the VIP room.

Well, what goes on in there, then?

Whatever you want.

Let's just say the same rules don't apply.

I just wondered if I could have, like, Thursday off.

I've got to pick up my son from the birthday party.

As long as everything's sorted and Anna covers the floor.

So do you want Carly, Brittany and Madonna?

All of them.

So how much is this gonna cost me, then?

Depends on what you want.

What's our offer?

I can dance for you again.

You can wank as your wash tissues are on there.

I can do you for eight, er, cash only.

What was so urgent, then?

We'll see.

Gen, about your holiday?

Oh, you know.

You're not in Barley, are you? That bloke you sent told me.

What bloke?

That bloke you sent to take out Clive is in there with Debbie now and he's brilliant.

Who is it?

It's me. Open the door.

What's the door locked for?

Er, yeah, well, I had the safe open and, er, you never know who's around.

I thought you were away.

I didn't go.

Why's that, then?

What the hell's going on?

My God, what's she doing now?

Do you know, you can't take your eyes off that girl for one second.

This should be interesting. At least you've seen it with your own eyes now.

Yeah? What do you want?

I'm looking for Tracey Ellis.

What do you want her for?

I'm from Social Services.

For this time of night?

We're doing an investigation.

Tracey! Someone wants to see you!

Who is it?

Well, it's you.

Can we talk?

So you're such a liar, is that, girl?

I mean, did you hear her trying to cover her back in front of that customer?

What's this?

Contents at your desk.

You're down the road, Clive.

What do you mean, you believe that?

I don't want to see your face in this place again.

He's on his way through.

Double word, Mr Stevenson.

There's no point me saying not to you, cos you're not going to believe me, are you?

Why don't you try me?

Is she a copper?

Or a social worker?

Oh, shut up, Mum. Go to bed.

I'm not going to bed. I've only just got up.

You haven't.

She's barmy.

Have you taken your tablets?

Oh, you really like her?

She's right, bossy, is she?

I thought you were in hospital.

Oh, you mean the nuthouse? Yeah.

Come home last night.

I'm going back next week.

There you go.

What were you saying?

I was asking what made you think that Paul was anything other than your probation officer.

I suppose it was the time when he stuck his tongue in my mouth and snubbed the face off me.

Or it might have been the time when we were in his car and he asked me to suck his cock.

What did you say?

You're just making that up, aren't you?

You see, I knew you'd say that.

People think because I'm 16 and I live in a council house that I've got to be a liar.

Well, I'm not a liar.

To be honest with you, I don't really give a toss whether you believe me or not.

Because I swear on my mum's life it's the truth.

And Paul knows that.

The thing is, when it's in your face like that, it's just not sexy.

Yeah, I think she was getting a bit desperate. Maybe it's just me.

No, you're just different from most of the men that come in here.

Wasn't he brilliant?

You're getting a bit into your job, special.

Yeah, exactly. What is your job? I forgot what I said now.

Assistant manager, I think you said.

Yeah, make a great double act, me and you.

So has he gone, then?

Yep. Never to darken these doors again.

Right, Simon, let's make a move.

It's okay, I'll get a taxi.

Can I have a quick word, then?

See you later, Georgian.

Yeah, and thanks.

What for?

For that promotion you're gonna give me.

I told you I didn't want you anywhere near this bloody club.

Yeah, now I know why.

So when did the lap dancing start?

A couple of years ago.

Does Mum know?

No, she hasn't been here in years.

I'm not saying anything. I just think Mum must know, that's all.

She doesn't. Trust me.

Last time she came, she said it was tacky,

and that's because the waitresses wore hot pants.

You've got to move with the times in this business or you'll go under.

Who's complaining?

Just don't judge me, that's all.

I'm not. Stop being so defensive.

What were you talking to her about?

Georgia. Just what happened, that's all.

What do you want me to do now, Mr Delaney?

I'll tell you what I'd like you to do.

Get your things from out of the dressing room and clear off.

I can walk over at Road right now and get myself a job.

Why don't you, then?

He can be a bit of a wanker sometimes.

A bit of a wanker? He could build a theme park on his ego.

But it's not in the flambas.

Where are you going, Peter?

I thought you'd be asleep. I didn't want to disturb you.

Thought we could do our first session.

So, do you want to get your dressing gown up?

Do you want to do it in the bed or in front of the fire?

Whatever you want.

We both have to feel comfortable about this.

I don't have a problem either way. You choose.

In front of the fire.

Who's going first?

You do me.

You're so beautiful.

Just relax.

Oh dear, your hands are freezing.

Holding her head to the fire and shaking her hair to dry it.

He watched the beautiful curving drop of her haunches that fascinated him to death.

What's the matter?

You're teasing me!

I was trying to enjoy it.

How it sloped with a ridge downslope to the heavy roundness of her buttocks and in between...

Not the genitals.

I know.

...between folded in the secret warmth, the secret...

What are you doing?

She said, hands or mouths.

We're not going to have sex, Peter.

This is sex turn-over.

Of a body in the fire glow and at the fleece of soft brown hair

that by its fingers he threaded a few forget-me-not.

Not fingers, he flowers in the forget-me-not.

Thank you.

Oh, that was lovely.

Your turn.

Leave the rest. Cleaners will be in first thing.

There's a switch for bath fluorescents at the far end.

Will you just flick it up for me?

Is there an alarm?

Yeah, on the way out.

You got everything?

Think so. So do you have to lock up if the manager's not in?

Oh, I've got to unless I've arranged it with somebody else.

My mobile phone.

Where is it?

It was in my pocket. It must have dropped out in the VIP room.

Right, well, better get it or you'll not see it again.

Our cleaners don't understand the concept of lost property.

So I bet your husband's not best pleased that you're being long late every night.

I haven't got a husband.

Sorry, I wasn't fishing. Well, actually I was.

And you?

No, I've just left for my girlfriend.

So you?

I'd suggest going to a nightclub, but we're already in one.

Well, we'd better make the most of it, haven't we?

It's sexually compatible. We're not intellectually compatible.

And I don't love you anymore.

What do you need a prostitute for when you're screwing the au pair?

Well, at least I'm single and she's not underage.

Don't get involved with her, Simon.

Might be a bit difficult down the line.

My God, what happened?

Did you sleep with Peter?

If you let me see you again, I won't say oh.

About what?

About what we did.

I've been suspended.

We have unresolved issues.

Well, for the life of me, I don't know what they are.

I don't understand what I've done wrong.

Have you ever not wanted to be with me?

Thought we could do our first session.

So are you.

It's shifting a bit.

Why don't you just ring the council, ask them to shift it?

You'll wait for bloody ever if you leave it to them.

We've got to move fast if we want those herons back.

Or they'll find somewhere else.

What difference does it make if they do?

Why don't I tie this rope round the pack, then you can pull it at the same time as well?

There's a big stick here. I'll get that and see if I can dislodge it.

You better keep the rope round you.

Excuse me, sir. What do you think you're doing?

What time did you get back last night?

Why didn't you come to bed?

What for?

To sleep. To let me know you were all right.

Well, you clearly weren't that bothered.

Or you would have come downstairs looking for me.

Are we gonna have another day like this?

Fiona and Bohuska have drunk all the milk.

Well, go and buy some more then.

Well, I ain't got any money.

Here. I don't want the change.

Oh, I was thinking of hiring a prostitute with it.

What do you need a prostitute for when you're screwing the au pair?

Well, at least I'm single and she's not underage.

What? I'm not buying any of that soya shit either. I'm getting some proper milk.

One day.

What do you expect? He's lost any respect he ever had for you.

Why? What have I done?

I went to see Tracy last night.

You did what? How did you know where she lived?

She told me you'd had sex with her.

Yeah, well, of course she did.

And I suppose she told you that I want to marry her

and have babies with her.

No, she was quite specific.

She said you'd had sex twice.

No. Once in the back of your car and once at her house.

No, it's lies. And you know it is.

Is it?

Are you asking me?

The girl's a compulsive liar.

Well, that's not how she came across to me.

I get it. You're saying I'm a liar.

I don't know.

Well, either she's lying or I am.

Now, you make your choice.

I don't believe I'm having this conversation with you.

I know in her head she thinks that something went on

between the two of us.

Well, it must be founded on something, Paul.

It's founded on me being kind to her

and giving her some attention, that's all.

Maybe I should have been more careful with her

knowing her background.

Maybe I did overstep the line.

What, like asking her to suck your cock?

No, I never said that.

I never did that.

Did you remember to pack Fiona some fruit?

A banana and some raisins.

No, I said two pieces of fresh fruit, not dried.

There was only bananas left.

No, actually, Bohuska, I've been meaning to speak to you.

I know what this is about and I'm very sorry.

Overall, I've been very pleased with your work and the way you've settled

and you clearly get on really well with Fiona and it seems a bit too well with Ciaran.

It will never happen again.

Can I just finish?

I know you must feel very lonely and at times it must be difficult

But I have to tell you I was very disappointed to find you in bed with my son

It's the first time and to make matters worse you were in my bed

I didn't want to do it then you would be honest. It doesn't really matter whose bed you were in

You've been given a position of responsibility in this house, and you abused that it's very how can I trust you after this?

It's been saying all the time he wants to have sex with me. You're three years older than him. You should know better

I'm sorry. I'm gonna have to let you go. Why don't you let us speak go on Bochka say what you want to say

He's older than his years and very experienced in the sex

and he's been asking and asking ever since I come to your house.

Kieran, I'm sorry, that does not sound like my son.

But he makes life here difficult for me.

That sounds like sexual harassment to me.

I've been very worried about this because I have become attached to Fiona.

Don't you worry. No one's going to throw you out.

Even though some people would have you guilty until proven innocent.

What were you trying to do?

Disloves the bloody pipe.

What did it look like I was doing?

It's very dangerous.

Current's quite strong just there.

You were lucky you landed where you did.

That's it.

It's fine.

That's about him.

I've got a name.

Fancy letting go of the bloody rope.

I was getting the stick, wasn't I?

He went to bloody university.

Oh, now then, Peter, it was an accident.

Oh, that bloody hurts.

Keep still, will you?

I've a good mind to take this further and see me solicited.

No, for goodness sake.

You should have been in the stream in the first place.

Well, who else is going to shift all that crap?

And with the parks department, I was just

checking to see what needed doing.

About bloody time.

I must have rung about half a dozen times.

14, actually.

And he says I'm balmy.

It's the Herons.

We've had two gray Herons visit our pond every year

since we moved here in 1985.

We're the bloody holiday this year.

Missing, that's where.

And why?

Because there's no bloody water for him.

I'd have thought the Herons would

have liked the water being low.

They can get to the pond life that much easier.

They had no problem getting to the pond life before.

Anyway, it's bloody unsightly.

Where'd I put them bloody ground plants?

So how long after you've written your report

did they come and shift the stuff?

I don't write a report.

I just ring the park warden and get it organized.

Well, it's nothing short of a bloody miracle.

I'd watch yourself with that foot.

OK, well, thanks for jumping in the water

and saving your life.

And I'll be very pleased to see that stream flowing properly.

I'll see you out.

So can I tell my mum I'm working at the club?

And what you like, as long as you don't mention the girls.

Why would I do that?

So you're looking for a new manager, then?

I think Georgia's angling for the job.

She'll be good.

I don't know.

I'm not sure I can trust her.

You what?

I can't believe you.

She's fantastic.

She really cares about that club, and you.

You won't find anyone as loyal as her.

Don't get involved with her, Simon.

What's that supposed to mean?

It means it might be a bit difficult down the line.

I'm just not sure about having a woman manager, that's all.

Not in a club like that.

I'm sorry about Peter.

He's got a thing about the Herons.

Well, they are amazing.

Sometimes they look almost prehistoric,

but they can strip upon a wildlife in one week.

Anyway, if you have any more problems,

I'm working down by the beck.

Or just ring me direct.

That's my mobile number.

Hope your husband's all right.

He'll survive.

I'll see you then.

Who's are these?

Think you got them the wrong way around.

What the hell are they?

Two vaginas.

Just so disappointed in you.

Nothing new then.

And I want you to apologize to Pahushka

and tell her that you'll never hassle her again.

Tell her not to walk around the house with just her knickers on.

When has she done that?

Hundreds of times.

And I haven't hassled her.

I never forced her to do anything.

She wanted it as much as me.

How many of them are you going to take?

Don't change the subject.

I want you to promise me that it's never going to happen again.

And you're going to have to get a job or something.

You can't just hang around the house all day.

I'm trying to get the bangles.

Yeah, well, you've been doing that for seven months now.

You've had, what, three gigs?

I think half the problem is you're bored.

I'm not bored.

Well, if you want to live in this house,

then you're going to have to get a job or go back to college.

I've got to go.

I've got a client in an hour.

There's a vegetarian chili in the oven.

George Orrett?

You stand there for a second. Thank you.

I don't understand, Simon,

is that you were all over me at your sister's wedding and...

Cos I knew it was the last time.

Well, you might have had the decency to let me know.

What was I supposed to say? Give us a shag, Philip.

It was played up tomorrow.

All the time that I've been talking about,

who are we going to invite to our engagement party?

You've been busy planning your escape route.

Truth is, I kept thinking that things would get better

and the feelings for you had come back.

But they didn't.

So you're saying you don't love me any more?

How are you? Yeah, sure. Yeah, I know who that is.

Are you all right?

Look, I can't talk right now, but I'll see you soon. Bye.

Who was that?

Just a friend.

It was a woman, wasn't it?

Right, I think I've got everything.

Is she the reason we're splitting up?

You can keep the TV in the stairwell.

Simon, who is she and how long has it been going on?

It's got nothing to do with us.

Simon, why can't you be honest?

All right, look, this is the truth.

We're not sexually compatible.

We're not intellectually compatible.

And I don't love you anymore.

How can you just stand there and say that?

I didn't want to, did I? You just forced me to say it.

Yeah, you...

Good. Where's my keys?

I thought you might like some tea.

Oh, cheers. That's great.

Oh, you got it out, then?

Yeah. He's dredging properly, though.

It's full of rubbish at the bottom.

I'm onto it, though.

Oh, I hope you don't mind. I put milk in the tea.

No. If it's wet, warm and sweet, it'll do for me.

I nearly forgot. I brought you some sugar.

Oh, thanks.

Hazel! What are you doing? I've been looking for you. We've gotta go.

Do you mind not yelling at me like I'm some sort of lackey?

I'm supposed to be at the therapist in 20 minutes.

I took him some tea, that's all.

Once you start that off, they'll expect it all the time now.

Is that ours?

Where would the other girl have her?

Must have come back in the office when we were...

Having rampant sex? Hey, this is good.

You are very sexy, do you know that?

You know that.

It's beautiful.

We're just getting to the best bit.

It was ten grand, or else it's gonna send a copy to Peter and the council licensing board.

We're gonna get the sack.

We're two consenting adults having sex, that's all.

There's nothing to be ashamed of.

The club wasn't even open.

We've done nothing wrong.

It's against company policy to shag another member of staff.

It'll go mental, I'm telling you.

And it won't be you that gets it in the neck, it'll be me.

No, it won't. You're free and single.

He knows you're not on the take.

Yeah, but he's a chauvinistic bastard.

You don't know him like I do.

I've had that many fights in the past.

What other?

All sorts of things.

I've been passed over so many times for promotion.

This was the best answer I was gonna get.

And if he sees that video, then I've blown it.

Never get a manager's job.

Don't worry about it. I'll sort it.

It was lovely. I really enjoyed it.

I didn't realise how much just touching someone and being touched by them could be so pleasurable.

And you kept away from the gentle areas and the breasts?

It wasn't easy. It was a bit like eating a walnut whip

but not touching the sweet, sticky stuff in the middle.

Well, sometimes we go straight for the sweet, sticky stuff

and forget how good the chocolate is.

Her skin's so soft and she smells gorgeous.

That's nice, isn't it, Hazel?

And what was the experience like for you, then?

Well, I was really worried at first when you told us what we had to do,

but, er, had a couple of glasses of wine and...

A couple of bottles.

Yeah, I admit I was a bit, er, well, drunk.

And I decided to do it on the first night

to sort of get it over.

Right, good.

And I must admit, it felt really strange at first.

She was a bit nervous.

But I kept thinking about the book, and, er...

What book?

Just let her finish, Peter.

And then I had a go at massaging Peter,

and, er, it sort of relaxed me.

And I stopped thinking about the book

and just thought about, I don't know, how it was feeling.

And how was that?

And then Peter said he wants to try again with me.

And this time she relaxed, didn't you?

And did you enjoy it?

I think so.

She was mourning when I was massaging her bottom.

I was not.

She was.

Sounded like she was in ecstasy, didn't she?

It's all right, Hazel.

That's what these sessions are for,

Finding out about each other, being naked together,

getting in touch with our sensual feelings.

It was sort of gentle.

I was sort of lulled into it, you know?

There was nothing rushed.

It reminded me of when we were first going out together,

when we'd spend hours just kissing and cuddling.

I suppose a bit immediate, enjoy it.

That's excellent.

And was there anything you didn't like?

Yeah, I didn't like it when he was massaging the back of my legs.

Why not?

She kept pushing me hand away.

In fact, that was when she rolled over.

Why didn't you like Peter massaging the back of your legs?

That's a bit of cellulite.

She hasn't.

She's got beautiful legs.

And do you have any bits of you that you don't like, Peter?

Bottom half of my legs are a bit skinny.

I get a bit of a gut.

Grow an extra chin sometimes if I don't do any exercise.

Yeah, but it's all right for men, isn't it?

Well, women don't care about things like that, do they?

What women?

Younger women.

Women who throw themselves at him.

Oh, in your dreams, Hazel.

Nobody throws themselves at me.

Bloody hell, I wish I had this fantastic life she thinks I have.

I know you've had affairs, Pete.

Really, how?

And I feel like you're comparing me to them.

Bollocks, as if I wouldn't.

The thing is, or should I say the question is,

do we want to hang on to the past,

or do we want to move forward?

Can we move forward without dealing with it?

I don't know.

There's nothing to deal with.

It's all in her head.

Well, what I think we should do is move on to the second stage

of the focus programme.

See how we get on, OK?

I'd like you to look at some photographs.

Y'all out of vaginas, then?

It's a joke.

I saw the photographs she gave her the first time.

Very graphic.

Took a few seconds to work out what they were.

You don't have to tell him.

Only because I had them upside down.

They were taken from a very strange angle.

My God, he's got a big one.

You see, I could get an inferiority complex looking at that.

They're all roughly the same size when they're erect.

I don't think so.

Give or take an inch.

How many men have you slept with?

Oh, Pilla.

And a woman's vagina is only four or five inches long in its resting state.

Excuse me.

Plenty big enough, then.

Shows what she knows.

The taxi outside. Is it for you?

Oh, sh... Thanks, Gavin. Do me a big favour.

Well, what do you think it's like for me?

Sat in this room with two women looking at a picture of some man with a great big stonker.

Right, well, I'd like you to carry on with the sensate focus.

And this time I'd like you to include the genitals and the breasts.

Half an hour each.

And I want you to take this task very slowly and gently.

Peter, you'll take the passive role first and, Hazel, you'll be the caressor.

What if when it's my turn to be a massager, someone I don't like?

Well, then you say and Peter will move on to another area.

You can talk if you want, explain how it feels.

I suggest you both take a bath before the session

to help you relax, or perhaps share a bottle of wine.

If we felt like it.

I mean, if it came to it, could we?

Not yet.

Lucky finish, now, then?

No, no lucky finish.

And I'd like to see you in a couple of days

if you ring and make an appointment.

You think she knows what she's doing?

Seems a bit.

Yeah, sort of distracted.

She's not as good as the first time I met her.

She keeps putting that stuff on her lips.

What stuff?

I don't know, but it gets on me nerves.

Will you drop me off at the hospice?

Well, I thought we could.

Don't matter.

She's not as attractive, neither.

In fact, she looked dog rough today.

I don't care what she looks like.

Hello, which department do you want?

Probation service.

Do you have an appointment?

No, I don't.

But I'm looking for the senior officer.

I think his name's Carl.

Sorry, that's all I know.

Your name?

Alona Cunningham.

Just a minute.

Alona, what are you doing here?

I just need some answers.

I feel like I'm going mad.

I'll get my coat.

I'll grab a cappuccino.

I keep telling myself he's a responsible, caring man.

And then the doubts start to creep in,

and my head starts to tell me something different.

You're bound to feel like that.

Maybe it's because I'm dealing with dysfunctional sexuality

all the time.

I suppose, really, I just need someone to say, oh, come on,

as I do, he didn't do it.

Catherine, I need someone to say that.

Look, if he'd have said that she was upset or really kissing,

even that he'd met up with her, I'd have just let it go.

I wouldn't have reported it.

Well, you're going to have to tell me what it's for, Sam.

I'll pay you back.

You can take it out on the wages.

I haven't said you're getting a wage yet.

Come on, Dad, you're going to have to pay me.

I never wanted you working there in the first place.

Yeah, now I know why.

Look, it's just a regular nightclub,

as far as Mum's concerned.

It's just seven grand, though.

It's a lot of money, Simon.

OK, I'll have the money ready for you.

But you're going to...

Christ, you're frightening me to death.

Speak to you later, bye.

So what are you doing sitting here?

Went up to the house, but there was nobody there.

Didn't know what else to do.

Yeah, we've been out.

We, uh, had an appointment.

What's wrong with your head?

Oh, it's nothing.

I fell in the beck this morning.

Have you tried, Simon?

1,500 times. He doesn't answer his messages.

Well, he's just rung so.

Now, come on. Don't upset yourself.

I think he's seeing someone else.

No, he's not. We'd know about it if he was.

He came this morning and took all his things from the flat.

I tried to talk him to him. He just looked at me like he hates me.

What can I say? He's my son, but I don't know what goes on in his head.

I'll try and talk some sense into him.

You're a very beautiful, intelligent young woman.

You've got everything going for you.

Then why doesn't Simon love me?

I can't answer that, love. I really can't.

But if I were him, I'd have you up that aisle and a ring on your finger that fast.

Thank you for saying that.

I think you're a bit emotional, love.

Look, I've got to put this herring in the pond.

It's a mate for Fanny there.

And then I've got to go and pick Hazel up, so if you want to lift...

I'm pregnant. I got the results yesterday.

Well, that's wonderful news, I think.

No, it is. It's fantastic.

I don't know whether I'm gonna have it yet.

It depends on what happens between me and Simon.

Why should we give you the money for the video when we don't give a shit who sees it?

Neither of us are married. We're two consenting adults.

All you're gonna do is put Peter's back up.

No, I think you've got it wrong there, son.

I think what'll put Peter's back up is knowing that some little upstart like yourself

is screwing his ex-mistress on his premises.

Think about it.

Oh, bless.

Look, they've got gliders outside. That's nice.

I don't love that.

Shall we stop off at Mark's, get something easy for supper?

Well, I've been thinking we could make a start on our own work.

Well, you decided first last time, so...

So I decide this time.

There's a lovely little hotel just the other side of Harrogate.

Oh, I don't know, Peter. I haven't got my book or my things.

You don't need anything, Hazel. Just you and me.

We could stay the night, if you like.

I thought you said you was having problems at work.

I thought you were going in tonight.

One, we've got something to celebrate.

I'm not telling you, unless you say yes.

Have you got something a bit, you know, special?

We have the bridal sweet, but it's non-smoking.

That'll do.

How much is it?

240 pounds a night.

I'll take it.

And can you have a bottle of your best champagne

sent up straight away?

Certainly, Mr. Delaney.

Keep the change.

Thank you, sir. Could I get someone to help with your luggage?

No, it's all right. We haven't got any.

Mr. Delaney, could I ask how you'd be paying?

...here somewhere in my bag.

Shall we get a box?

Oh, yeah, bugger it. Go on, then. White or red?

The interior decorator?

Yeah, you said your friend was looking to have a room done.

Well, I've just had a job called through.

So, is she going to tell Simon or what?

Yeah, I'm gonna have a word with him. Tell him he's gotta talk to her.

Once he knows she's pregnant, it'll be different.

Yeah, as long as she doesn't go and do something stupid.

No, she's cute, that girl. She knows that's a ticket back to him.

Oh, is that what you thought about me?

Oh, come on, don't talk crap.

I was in love with you.

When I found out you were pregnant, it was one of the best days of my life.

Now, come on. Get that coat off, will you? And relax.

I'm cold.

I'm sure they've got the bloody aircon on.

Bit of nice music, eh?

What's the matter? I thought you'd be over the moon.

You're gonna be a granny.

Oh, I am. I just worried Simon does the right thing by her. That's all.

He will.

Now, shall we get in the bath first?

I'd like something to eat. I haven't had any lunch.

We'll get something sent up.

No one's a girl to the restaurant.

Yeah, fine, whatever.

So I don't understand, is this your friend's flat,

or is it yours?

I'm staying here at the minute, so my place is next.

This is lovely.

Yeah, it's loaded.

Can I get you a drink?

What have you got?

You name it.

Actually, I wouldn't mind a cup of tea.

No, I'll have a vodka and cranberry.

At least there's some vitamin C in it.

You're into all that hell stuff, then, are you?

I try.

Do you know, I don't think he's got any cranberry.

Are you sure you don't want a glass of champagne?

No, I'm not bothered for anything, really.

To be honest with you, I rang you because I wanted to have sex.

The bedroom's through there, or we could never had anybody

just say it like that before.

I thought you were married.

As good as, but I want to have sex with someone else.

Is that all right?

It's fine.

So shall we start, then?

I'm just going to make myself a drink.

Well, it's probably best that you don't.

Alcohol's not very good for the libido.

An alcoholic, remember?

God, you really are into this whole thing, aren't you?

No, it's just that alcohol is one of the major causes

of erectile difficulty.

Oh, look, you probably think I'm a complete nutter.

I might as well tell you I'm a sex therapist.

Sex therapist?

I'm sorry, I just can't get my head around this one.

Why would anybody say that they were an interior designer

if they were a sex therapist?

Well, that's obvious, because men are either completely

turned on by or they run a mile.

Well, I'm somewhere in the middle.

Does that make you an expert?

No, it just means that I sort out other people's sexual problems

for my job, that's all.

Like if someone wanted to make it last a bit longer or?

Yeah, pee, that sort of thing.

Premature ejaculation.

It's the second most common problem.

What are you doing?

I'm ringing a cab.

What happened to you wanting sex?

I just think I needed to know I was attractive.

I've got.

I've got to. I'm sorry.

I don't want to mess you about it.

You're not messing me around.

I really, with words, I've never met anybody like you before.

The pity?

Well, if you ever need to know you're attractive again

or you want sex, I'm at the end of the phone.

You never know, you might be able to sort me out.

I'll send you a fact sheet in the post.

You're a really lovely man.

What's the first most common problem?

Going off it.

2 dollars, slept in.

That's enough.

Are you gone?

I'm sorry.

I can't.

I can't.

What's the matter?

Well, I said move on.

That's enough.

And you didn't take any notice.

I didn't.

I can't do it here.

Nothing's right.

It feels wrong, dirty.

Can't stop me brain thinking.

Your brain?

My brain, my mind.

I'll order another bottle of champagne.

It's got nothing to do with the amount of alcohol I've had.

Well, what the bloody hell has it got to do with, then?

How did you know about this little hotel?

What the hell are you on about?

Suppose that man on reception thinks I'm just

another one of your mistresses.

Hazel, you've got it wrong, love.

I've never been here in my life.

So that's why you had that look on his face.

It's all in your head.

Is it?

Then how come he knew your name?

Cos I'd just written it down on the friggin' registration form, that's why.

Oh, I can't do right for doing wrong.

What the hell is wrong with you?

Did you sleep with Peter?

I told you that.

Did you have sex with him? That's all I want to know.

I want an answer!

I know he's mistress!

Georgia, open the door! Talk to me!

I'm not gonna go away!

Piss off or I'll call the police.

Is that why you didn't want Peter to see the video? Is it?

What difference does it make?

It makes a lot of bloody difference.

It was years ago.

We had a sort of on-off relationship for a couple of years.

Couple of years?

He's married!

Sort of.

They don't live together like husband and wife, they're just friends.

I was so shocked.

Cousin all the time in our business.

I want the first and I'll work with the last.

He's got kids!

Grown up and gone.

Clive do that to you.

No, it's alright.

It's just what he used to do for him.

To drive like this, I'd rather you drop me off somewhere and I'll catch the bus.

No thank you.

Want to ring for a taxi?

Don't be so ridiculous.

Hazel, will you get back in the car?

No, I won't.

I could have made something out of my life.

What do you mean you could have made something out of your life?

You have.

You've had two children and kept house for us all.

Yes, that's it exactly.

Kept house.

What's that supposed to mean?

Yes, please, I'd like to order a taxi.

No, she doesn't.

Give me that back here.

I was the only one of the seven of us

went to grammar school, I could have had a career.

We can talk about this on the way home.

I've got seven O-levels, Peter, seven.

I know, you told me.

And they wanted me to stay on for my A-levels.

Yeah, we got a job, didn't you, at Samuel's?

It was an apprenticeship at the best florist in Leeds.

Please, not this again.

We've never talked about it properly, Peter.

We talked about what you thought, not about how I felt.

We didn't have 10,000 pounds to buy the bloody shop.

Miss Hester didn't either.

She was going to borrow us from the bank.

I don't like owing people money.

Besides, what the hell did you and your sister know about,

running a business?

I knew about flowers.

And the rest I'd have learned like you had to.

But it wasn't about that, was it, Peter?

It was more about you not wanting me to work.

And what's wrong with that?

What's wrong with not wanting someone you love

to worry about money and staff and all the crap that

goes on day in and day out?

Jesus, I wish to God someone didn't want me to work.

Are you getting in this car or what?

It was good, wasn't it?

It's not the point.

This morning you were tender and...

Who's that man, Mummy?

What are you doing awake at this time of night?

I heard a funny noise.

Just go back to bed.

Are you hurting me, Mummy?

No, just a friend.

I'm Simon.

This is Toby.

All right, Mummy will take you back to bed.

I've got to go.

OK, if you've got what you came for.

See yourself out.

I know you don't work in the night,

I'd appreciate it if you could ring me first thing

in the morning.

Things have gone a bit pear-shaped,

and I need to talk to you as soon as possible.

So if I could make an appointment without Hazel,

I think we'll get a lot further a lot faster.

I look on any timber that's washed up as a gift from God,

because I do have a faith.

And I think that he's saved me.

Sorry I must have fallen asleep.

I went to see Catherine this afternoon.

She said it was her that saw you with Tracy that night of the meeting.

I could have told you that.

She said you had your arms around her.

She's probably right.

She was crying.

What am I supposed to do?

Just human. She was upset.

About what?

She didn't want Liz to take over from me.

And yet, knowing there was a problem, you still put your arms around her.

I didn't think about it.

I just did it.

I'm sure paedophiles say exactly that.

For Christ's sake, woman, I've had it with you.

You're losing the plot.

Am I? Why did you lie to Katherine?

Why did you tell her you went back to the pub looking for her that night when you didn't?

I don't know. I do.

You were trying to cover your tracks.

Where were you, Paul? Where did you go?

Answer me! I took her to MacDonald. She was starving hungry.

And then what? And then I drove her home!

I don't believe this.

You were alone with her in your car. I wanted to drive her home.

Cos I knew there'd be a scene when I told her I couldn't see her again.

And I thought it would be best if it was in a controlled environment, like a car.

And it never occurred to you that she'd be sitting less than a foot away from you?

With her seatbelt on!

Did you go into the house with her?

Don't lie to me!

I didn't go into her house! I'm not stupid! The girl's unstable!

But when I went to her house, she struck me as an extremely clever young woman.

Capable of wrapping any man she liked around a little finger.

I'm not any man.

Oh, yeah, sorry. I forgot. You're above all that. You're Superman.

No I'm not but I'm not blind either. I can see she's attractive and I know exactly what

she's doing.

Though a bit of you is flattering.

I don't know.

Young girl like that.

I didn't do anything wrong.

No but you thought it didn't you?

Yes I was flattered.

So what did you do?

So she just dreamt all this up did she?

You had sex with her didn't you?

You're lying.

I'm not.

I can tell.

Something happened.

I admit, she tried to kiss me once.

She tried to kiss you?

Yeah, and?

For a second, fraction of a second.

You responded.

When did this happen?

I don't know, five or six months ago.

I'd have to look back at my notes.

Oh, so you wrote it up, did you?

No, not that bit.

I just know which session it happened.

Yeah, around about the same time you

stopped wanting to have sex with me.

That's got nothing to do with it.

Hasn't it?

Maybe I've been subconsciously worried

about the whole thing.

Or maybe you've just been lusting after her and a woman pushing 40 doesn't quite come up to scratch.

You know, it really hurts when you say things like that.

Yeah? Well, it hurts me too.

I'm sleeping in Fiona's room tonight.

You'll wake the whole house up.

I hate being here!

What's going on?

Nothing. I came in here looking for you and...

All I came here for is to learn English.

Hello, love. I thought you were working tonight.

God, you look terrible. What's happened to you?

It's nothing. I just fell down some steps at work, tripped over a mat.

You all right?

Fine. Where's Dad?

I think he's gone to the club looking for you. You want some antiseptic on that.

That's okay. What's he looking for me for?

Dunno. Philip has been round.

It's got nothing to do with him. He shouldn't get involved.

Simon, I think she's pregnant.

So she's told you?

She told you, Dad.

I know you'll do the right thing by her, Simon.

I can't be with someone I don't love.

You loved her enough to have sex with her.

Don't make me ashamed of you.

I've been highly strung at the moment.

I've had a word with Kieran and...

I never understand you.

How come you believe me about Bojska,

but yet you're convinced that I'm lying to you about Tracy?

Experience, intuition.

Call it whatever you like.

You fancy the pants off that girl and we both know it.

Didn't you?

You should have been honest with me and...

and we... we could have worked it through.

I know.

When you're in the middle of it, you just can't seem to find your way out.

I love you, Alana.

And I love you, too.

It's not gonna happen.

Todd, I've been ringing you.

Why don't you turn your bloody mobile on?

Battery's down.

Why aren't you at the club?

I spoke to Clive this afternoon.

Oh, yeah?

What you done to your face?

Bit of a fight.

He's got a video he wants you to have a look at.

What kind of video?

Do you want to see it? We've got it lined up.

Have you looked at it?

What's it about?

Who was I?

You wanted sex with her. I know you did.

Alona, I've got to go down to the police station.

This thing with this woman will fizzle out.

What woman?

You don't realise, do you?

Realise what?

You've got all the power.

I admit, I've had affairs.

You think I could be the type?

Having an affair?

Me wanting and sexy.

What's the matter, Peter?

Were you jealous?
