I got you something. Why
does our nanny suddenly want to go?

Why do you think? I think
Prof Ronnie's my dad.

Buenas noches Professor Lopez.

He so wants you!

I'm pregnant.
CAMERA FLASHES

If there's anything you
think we're missing.

She's hiding something.
Most people are.

I love you, Christie, but
Nathan won.

Three months after your wedding, you
were pregnant.

It could have been mine.

Christie. Christie...

HER BREATH HITCHES

Mr and Mrs Stern.

HANNAH: Liv.

Lion. Dove.

What were you thinking of?

Er...

We've already discussed with Liv,

and she's confident that
Mr Lopez gave her no indication

that he might be receptive
to that kind of photograph.

No.

It was stupid.

He barely knows who I am.

OK, Liv. That's fine.

I think today's meeting was to once
more reassure your parents

that there has been no
inappropriate behaviour

on the part of the school here.

I'm confident this was a lapse
of judgment on Liv's part,

and it won't happen again. Er...

But we just want to be sure
everything's OK at home.

Liv?

Everything's fine.

OK. Good.

Good to know.

She was insinuating
that we are crap parents.

SIGHS

At least when she was seeing, erm...

Sasha. Yeah, he was age-appropriate.

She has a crush.

Sometimes it's not obvious until
it's staring you in the face.

You were arguing in the garden.

Work. It was just about work.

Right.

FI: All right, darling, give mummy
a hug.

I just need to, er...

I'll take the Tube in.

Oh, don't forget, lunch today.

Law Association. Mum.

Yeah, shiny gong stuff.

I've been trying to get hold of you.

Richie moved out to a hotel
last night.

The press are outside the house.

Got a picture of him, suitcase in
hand, leaving. He tipped them off.

I know he tipped them off. This is
designed to intimidate.

I don't know how he thinks he can
even have the kids in a hotel.

He's never home before midnight.
Look, hold your nerve.

They're just waiting for me
to break.

Well, then don't give them
the satisfaction.

Well, then don't let him take
my kids.

No, no, no, no-one is taking
your children.

Now, we've got an 11 o'clock
at Melanie's office

and we'll be going through
the proposals then.

I've got your back.

OK.

CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKS

Don't cut off Defoe.

Hannah, you're in my shot.

Do you want my daughter in?
Oh, God.

No, please. Mother, really, I've got
a meeting.

This 360 thing is getting everyone
so rattled.

We never had 360s.

You were either in or you were out.

I'm not rattled.

Yes, you are.

SING-SONG: Rattled.

Ah, today is an opportunity for us
all to see

ourselves from 360 degrees.

Do we have the right of veto?

ZANDER: No.
COLLEAGUES CHUCKLING

Welcome, Hannah.

Err, sorry, client meeting.

Personal appraisals. Tyler.

Everyone will be reviewed
by a colleague,

a manager and, if appropriate,
someone they manage...

I think I'm going to throw up.
..employee and company profile.

That's morning sickness for you.

No, it's worse. It's
personal growth.

No, seriously. See it as
an opportunity...to take stock.

Did you tell Christie
I'd had an abortion?

Check your inboxes - we'll
be starting meetings this week.

This is an opportunity for us all
to look really hard at ourselves.

You can run but you can't hide.

LIGHT LAUGHTER

Hannah.

The Clarks have cancelled again.
The Gibsons have just arrived,

they're in reception.
For the adoption case.

You've got your 11 o'clock with
Fi Hansen

and Melanie's just sent a redraft
of the child arrangement schedule.

The Law Association also want
a quote about your mother.

Maybe later. Sure.

I'll be with the Gibsons in
five minutes.

Right. OK. Yep, I'm happy with that.

CHRISTIE CHUCKLES
Always there.

S...

HE SIGHS

I don't know what to say.
Let's start with sorry.

I'm... And now let's move on to,

how could you not have told
me, Hannah?

I was a kid.

But old enough to get married?

I'm sorry.

HE SIGHS

This, ah, with bloody lunch...

Yeah.
HE CHUCKLES

Nathan's going to be there.

And you want me to step aside?

Well, obviously you should go
because it'll be weird if you don't,

but it might be best if we...

..kept it normal. It can't look
weird.

What, weirder than you keeping your
pregnancy - no, strike that,

abortion - from me? Weirder than us
having an affair?

He knows. I think he knows.

About us? Possibly. Yes.
Potentially.

And you think I told him.

Right?
HE SCOFFS

HE SIGHS

I can't do this. Christie...

Our child would have been nearly 20.

Ours?

That was no guarantee.

50-50 chance.

I would've taken those odds.

You can't say anything.

Who says?

Please.

Morning. Hi, yes.

DOOR OPENS

The Henrys' revised accounts
are in for the final hearing.

I marked up the figures.

Nathan? We're going to be, er, late
for court.

Full disclosure - I haven't actually
gone over them.

I've made notes.

They're a bit illegible.

He's either lying to HMRC
or he's lying to his wife.

I think he'll prefer to admit
to the latter.

Good. Agreed. Why don't you lead?

Really? How would you open?

Er...

Well, I'd ask him if his financial
statement to the court was accurate.

And then I'd ask him if his return
was also accurate.

And then?

I'd quote Lewis Carroll at him.

"Like Alice, I try to believe six
impossible things before breakfast."

Cute, but never quip in court.

You do.

Yeah, well, I'm a professional.
It's all in the execution.

LAUGHS

How was your party?

It was...a party. Lot of dim sum.

Dim sum? You get to 20
and the gifts get really good.

20 years. That's pretty impressive.

I'd celebrate if I could find
someone to be with for that long.

I'm sure you will.

Anyway, we've got bigger fish
to fry.

Thanks. I think that means
you're in my corner.

You're going to be great.

Your social worker will have gone
over the next step

in your adoption schedule.

So tomorrow you'll be facing
your matching panel.

OK.

Now, we know the questions
they will ask.

They're wanting to ensure
that you're the best fit for Mia.

She's our priority right now.
All our family are behind us.

We've got photos of her
up everywhere.

We're just keen to meet her now.

Well you certainly have, er,
the goodwill of the adoption agency.

Tomorrow is...is just a formality.
You've proven yourselves.

So, there is...this one area.

There's a distant cousin in
Mia's family

who is raising concerns and, er,

may prove problematic going forward
towards the adoption process.

We're not going to get
her. No, Steph...

No-one is saying that.
We just need you to be aware

that it may come up tomorrow.

Ultimately, the court will look out
for the welfare of Mia.

SHE SIGHS

We've been through these
hurdles before,

and every time we get through them,
don't we?

Our hope... Hey.

..is that if you are
successful tomorrow,

Mia could be living with you
within months.

Weeks, even.

Weeks? Mm-hmm.

We've got training coming up
in Portugal. Yeah.

S... Er...

So? It's not a problem.

We'll take Mia with us. It's less
than a year till Tokyo.

And in normal circumstances,
that...that would make sense.

But to flag a word of caution,

you are in process towards adopting
a child who has been through a lot.

There may be questions
around stability for Mia,

compounded by you taking her out
of the country.

It might be more persuasive,
if it comes up tomorrow,

if you can indicate that one of you
is willing to stay.

OK. I want you to go away tonight
and talk it over again.

You need to present the best case

supported by very positive
evidence tomorrow.

Can you name five positive
attributes of Hannah Stern?

Straight in for the kill.

Take your time.

Er...

Oh, she's...insightful.

Always brilliant.

The first to lead.

She's...loyal.

Sometimes to a fault.

That's a negative?

Depends if she's batting on
your side.

And I say that from
bitter experience.

She's the best.

When she's by your side,
then you're winning.

And if she's not...

God help you.

Yeah.

Hi. Hannah Stern for
Melanie Aickman.

And Christie Carmichael.

She's expecting you.
Please have a seat.

Thanks. Thanks.

I waited for you.

I wanted to walk.

How did your 360 go?

Swell.

Sorry for the delay.

Hey. Hey.

Eyes on the prize.

Walk.

Huh.

Yeah, can we clear the room, please?
This is a private meeting.

Oh, yeah.

Er, everyone, please.

Don't forget that you've got a
phoner straight after this.

Yeah, yeah. Sure.

Cutting straight to the chase...

BOTTLE FIZZES

The purpose of today's meeting
is to establish a schedule

for the arrangements for
the children.

Now, we have looked over
the proposal that you sent through,

and, yeah, to be frank, it's
unacceptable and unrealistic.

As I am sure we are all keen to find
a calendar

that works for everyone... We've
made a few amends.

Can you pass them down?

Thank you.

Interesting. Every third weekend?
I don't think so.

We want a split share of time.

I'm happy, though,
to leave it to the judge.

Full transparency.
Everything out in court.

It could be exposing, but, hey, if
that's what you prefer.

SHE SIGHS

A judge will fix dates,

leaving neither of you
with any flexibility in your lives,

and you know that, Melanie.

Yeah, that's why I said
it was interesting.

Cos I know how you like to settle,
Hannah, and I know that it's quick.

A 50-50 split based on Mr Hansen's
schedule is...unrealistic.

Look, we live in a world where
children happily move

between parents. We need you to
radically improve

on these figures, Hannah.
And immediately. OK?

This is madness. Can you see this is
madness?

What's madness is you wanting
the kids half the time.

You're never even home.

So, I'll stay home more.

And if I have to be away,
I'll hire a great girl.

Or a manny, if you prefer.
You prefer a manny?

I always think a manny
sounds so much fun.

What was that film? That
wonderful film

with Robbie Williams?
Robin, Robin Williams.

What was it? Er... Based on your
current schedule

for the next 12 months, the dates
that you have put in place

are just not feasible and we cannot
agree to them.

Oh, well, that's a pity.

I'm sorry. We so didn't want
to have to go to court,

but I'm afraid, sadly,
as we've reached an impasse,

you leave me no alternative but
to apply

for a Child Arrangements Order.

So, we'll have the children tomorrow
for an overnight stay.

He's happy to pick them up
from home.

And once again, thank you
for your...fine work, Melanie.

Mrs Doubtfire.

That's what it was. Mrs Doubtfire.
Great film.

All right. Good. See you in court.

I can't bear it.

Breathe. Your children aren't going
to be taken away from you.

But if this does go to court,
I need to know everything.

What are you not telling me?

Hi.

Great views.

Yes, we've just acquired two
more floors.

Impressive.

Plenty of corner office space,
if you're looking.

Doesn't it get exhausting being you?

Yes, very. That's why I'm look
for outsiders.

Disrupters. Kindred spirits.

You know anyone?

I'll give it some thought. Good.

OK. Room six. Let's get on with it.

There's a tape. Oh.

We made a sex tape. "We"?

Me, Richie, and Carrie, our nanny.
Two years ago. Maybe longer.

We'd been to a gig and, er,
Carrie stayed late.

Right. This is making sense.

We were messing around and he
started fooling around

with her phone. We need to meet
Carrie ASAP.

Where's the footage now?
It was on Carrie's phone.

It was stupid, and we were
just drunk.

The next day we just brushed it off.

Little did I know that he and Carrie
had carried on.

So it can't go to court. There's,
er, there's paps outside.

Do you want me to get them
to bring your car out the back?

Er, yeah, maybe. Thanks.

No. Heads up. Front it out.

Can you sign here?

Mm-hmm.

OK. Thank you.

Did it go OK? Your 360?

Yeah. Yeah. It was good.
I was very complimentary.

That's not why I asked.

Er, I can't support your promotion.

You're a good lawyer,
you'll be a great one,

but you've got a long way to go.

I disagree.

Next year, year after, you'll be in
a very strong position.

Right.

OK. Well, thank you for...

..letting me know where I stand.

Er, Grayling.

I noticed that there are
no more meetings with Grayling.

There's usually two or three a
week. Mm.

Didn't go anywhere.

Well, that makes sense. You didn't
bill any hours for him.

Well, he decided not to make
the leap.

You must be disappointed.

You and Christie.

You win some, you lose some.

It's probably for the best.

Yes.

CHATTERING

Look, I'm shaking.

What are you talking about?
You're steady as a rock.

Let's run. Ah-ah-ah!

JJ Johnson, Marvin -

feels like graduation.

Didn't we both get stoned?
Quite possibly.

Then good you passed
with flying colours.

There's isn't a lawyer here

that you haven't had on the ropes
at one point or another.

Enjoy this.

This is your swan song.

CHATTERING

God.

Thank you.

Don't, OK?

Mother.

Hello, nice to see you.
Ronnie.

I had a dream like this. Only I was
naked, and you were...

No, I must have woken up by then.

Is it me or is everyone
getting younger?

Did you know McCulveys
just landed the Popov divorce?

This is why I hate these events.

They put everyone on edge.

Congratulations.

It's a little presumptuous -
they haven't given it to me yet.

Rumour has it you're the
only candidate.

It's a glorified eulogy.

Stop that. It's amazing.

Thank you. It's very kind.

Actually, I had my first day
in court today.

In which she was hugely impressive.

Very, er, bold.

SHE SCOFFS
I think I should be flattered.

I should have been bolder.
I was too retiring.

LAUGHTER

What?

ROSE: Finally!

Hello.

Can someone remind me what we're
actually celebrating today?

Our mother, the wallflower.

Is that a joke? I never get your
jokes. Is any of that going?

Er, should you be...?

Ah, again - boring.

MAN: Ladies and gentlemen!
Please make your way inside...

Oh, sorry. Too early in proceedings
to make a break for it.

In search of my table. Oh, you'll be
on Hannah's, I would expect.

Yeah, you're next to me. Oh, yeah,
probably best to keep you two apart.

Nathan. What? I'm just curious.

Tell me. Well, er...why you and
my wife were bickering

at what, to all intents
and purposes,

was our wedding anniversary.

I mean, putting politics aside,

what can you two have been so
hotly discussing?

I think they're calling us in.

What's wrong with you?

CHLOE: Nathan. We're at table eight.

Oh, shit.

In these changing times,

where the whippersnappers
are biting at our heels,

Ruth Defoe remains a fixed point.

The guiding light who embodies the
principles of why I came into law.

She's also the only person in my
career to have pointedly asked,

"Are you sure the law is for you?"

LAUGHTER

It proved to be one of the very few
times she was wrong.

Ladies and gentlemen,
the Law Association honours

with its Lifetime Achievement Award,
Ruth Defoe.

Hear, hear!
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Whoo!

WHISTLING

Thank you.

I only asked him because, at
the time,

he seemed more interested in
dancing on podiums in nightclubs.

LAUGHTER

"Are you sure the law is for you?"

Well, that was a question I was
asked many times

at the beginning of my career.

I graduated from Leeds in 1970,

when women with law degrees
were still being ushered

into areas of the legal world
that were unfashionable at the time.

No-one was interested in divorce
or family law.

Or should I say, no men.

CHUCKLING

At least they weren't, until we
proved that it could be rewarding

and, more importantly, lucrative.

And then that's when they tried to
muscle in.

I wasn't having that.

That's why Defoe's has always been
a family firm.

A haven, not just for my generation,

but for my daughters'.

And now, at the other end of
my career,

the expectation is that I leave.

I've had the pleasure of teaching
on a law course recently.

It's worthwhile, respectable,
invaluable work.

But I know absolutely
that it is not for me.

What is it about age?
Who says when we are done?

I mean, really. Do I look done
to you?

Now, don't answer that.

LAUGHTER
So, for my naysayers,

and those eyeing my shoes...

..I'm not going anywhere.

But thank you.

APPLAUSE

I guess that's telling us, then.

There we go.
SHE CHUCKLES

There are laws against stalking.

The only person I'd consider
stalking is Anderson Cooper.

I did not see that coming.

Er, why do you keep staring at me?

I'm not staring. I'm just trying to
figure out what happened to you.

Oh, God, you do therapy, don't
you? To dislike people so much.

I don't dislike people. You're
not people.

Ah, yeah. I see what you did
there. Er...

What I said...

What I told you...

Whatever it was, it's most probably
best if I forget.

I'm sort of between jobs
at the moment.

Well, your mother always said you
were a free spirit.

Er, that is Defoe-speak for
not joining the family trade.

HE CHUCKLES

Some people just take time to find
where they should rightfully be.

Mm.

I'll miss your mother
teaching at the university.

I bet you will. Rose.

If you've something to ask me...

Are you the reason
Oscar divorced my mother?

And there she goes.

HE SIGHS

Well, I think it's fair to say
I was a contributing factor.

Anything else?

Ronnie.

Have you met Ernest? He was on
the International Committee.

Ernest.

MIMICS GUNSHOT

God, this is dull.

You seem to be making the best
of it.

Ow.

Sorry, sorry.

It's fine.

It's all good.

Mumbas are getting huge.

QUIETLY: I hate this.

Can you get me out of here?
Mm, yep.

Well, I couldn't just ask him, could
I? "Are you my dad?"

I've sent off the DNA test.

I figured if it comes back
the same as Nina and Hannah

then I'm home and dry.

Yay. Do you even care?

What? What...?

PIANO MUSIC PLAYS

Do you remember
those awful formals?

I do.

I once lent you a shirt.
Did I, er, return it?

No.

I'm ordering a car. Really? We were
just reminiscing.

I want to be there
for when Liv gets back.

Oh, the joys of being a parent.

This is what I hear.

Yeah, we got pulled in this morning

because our daughter sent an
inappropriate photograph of herself

to a Spanish teacher.

Nathan. And I didn't know what to
say to her,

because if I was to challenge

the wisdom of what she'd just done,
she'd reply,

"What, seriously? Like, whatever!
You lecture me?"

You're drunk. No, I'm just realistic
about who her parents are.

Nathan, darling, go home.

Yeah. Home.

Please, God, no.

Christie, have you met Caroline?

Caroline. This is
Christie Carmichael.

INDISTINCT CHATTER

No, no, no, no. Just leave them.

Sometimes you just have to let
people work things out

for themselves.

You know I'm pregnant.

Isn't it wonderful?

RUTH CHUCKLES

I presume the father does know.

PHONE RINGS

VOICEMAIL: Hi, it's Hannah Stern.
Please leave a message.

CHRISTIE: "No"? "Please, God, no"?

Is that what you're worried about?
That I'm going to tell him?

Well, you're right.

I will. If you don't.

So you should, Hannah. You should
tell him everything.

PHONE CHIMES

GAME MUSIC PLAYS

Hey!

I love you, Livvy.

What's wrong? Nothing.

Has, er...?

Has Dad done it again?
No, no, nothing like that.

I'm just going to freshen up.

OK, rabbit's still on its run.

Can someone put it in its hutch?

Now!

HANNAH SIGHS

Liv's made dinner.

Let's go down, eat with the kids.

Hannah. Whatever you want to talk
about, whatever it is,

can it just wait until
tomorrow? Please.

This day is too long already.

Who just called you?
Who was the message from?

Er, it's a client.

Which client?

Er...

Grayling.

Oh, yeah?

It doesn't matter. It can wait.

SHE CATCHES BREATH

SOMBRE MUSIC

CHRISTIE: "No"? "Please, God, no"?
Is that what you're worried about?

That I'm going to tell him?

Well, you're right, I will. If
you don't.

So you should, Hannah. You should
tell him everything.

WATER RUNNING

You coming? It smells good.

This is... This is to be encouraged.

You not hungry?

I was prepping Chloe
today. Yeah.

Basic cross-examination techniques.

How to tell if a witness is lying.
All that.

Most people, not everyone,
but particularly those who

aren't in the business of lying,
they pause just after they've lied.

It's as if they're checking to see
if they've given anything away.

It's not foolproof, but it's, er,
it's useful to bear in mind

when you have someone on the stand.

It's just that I notice you pause
whenever you mention Grayling.

Right, he's a...difficult client.

Too much money.

Usual.

Is this what it was like watching...

..me squirm?

You should listen to the voicemail.

"Grayling's" voicemail.

Oh, no, you shouldn't have...
Yeah, probably not.

I warn clients against it all
the time.

SHE SIGHS

TILLY: Mum, the rabbit's got out!

Fuck.

DRAMATIC MUSIC SWELLS

Fuck.

Oh.

Looks like he's a goner.

It's a pity. There's a Jamie Oliver
sweet and sour rabbit

I've always wanted to try.

VINNIE: It was you, Tilly.
You left the door open.

More looking, less arguing.

TILLY: Gunner?!

VINNIE: He's probably dead.

TILLY: Gunner, come!
Nathan...

Here it comes.

It was tit for tat? A fuck for
a fuck?

VINNIE: Gunner, where are you?
Come on!

You want to do this now?
How many times?

Um...

Once or twice. Once or twice.

Don't ever tell me that it didn't
mean anything.

That man has been in our house.
He's danced with our children.

It was... It was nothing.
It...it was a moment...

A moment. ..that just got out
of hand.

If you hadn't listened to
that voicemail,

it would've just gone. Just would
have been forgotten.

Like you forgot my indiscretion?

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Right, sure.
Right. Yeah.

Like you haven't made me suffer?

You haven't made me sweat
for the last three months?

Begging you, pleading with you
to forgive me?

God, I'm such an idiot.

I screw some faceless woman
I picked up on the internet

and you shag some man
you've wanted to shag

for the last 20 years,
well, congratulations.

You can strike that off.
Job done. No...

It's words, just words.

We're bloody lawyers. We're masters
of bullshit.

Tills, have you tried behind
the shed?

TILLY: Gunner?!

Gunner! Gunner!

Come on! I can't be late.

VINNIE: Dad, I need that money.

Why didn't you tell me last night?

It's just a fiver. They said it's
for charity.

Purse is in my bag. Thanks, Mum.

Vinnie, you're standing on my coat,
get off it. Get off!

Vinnie, get off my coat!

Go, parasite. Thanks, Dad.

I'm sorry, I'm really sorry.

Let's get started, shall we?

TYLER CLEARS THROAT

How are you this morning?

Err, great, great.

That's number ten. Ten late starts.

I'm a partner, Tyler.

And six missed meetings.

Has a client complained?

No. But they might.

You don't look well, Nina.

A lot of days you don't look
well recently.

Well, I'm fine, really.

OK, well, let's make a start
with the self-appraisal.

Er...

Can you give us three words
that describe you at work?

Scared.

Er, unprepared.

Pregnant.

That's, er...

Th...
HE LAUGHS

That's fantastic!

Congratulations!

Er, I thought you might... Er...

Er, thank you.

I have been meaning to say. I just
haven't found the right moment.

Well, it was either morning sickness
or one hell of a hangover.

Hey, there they are.

You all right? Yes. Hey, listen,

you're going to love this hotel,
I'm telling you.

All the sports channels. Listen,
you're going to go crazy for it.

Hey, there he is!

Aah! Give us a big squidge.

HE LAUGHS

All right, let's do this.

All right, monsters. We're
outta here.

INDISTINCT CHATTER

Morning.

Morning.

Is it all right if I perch
in meeting room five?

Actually, Ruth, no.

Zander.

Whilst I appreciated your little
performance yesterday.

I do need to remind you, Defoe is
prefaced with Noble and Hale.

Lest you forget.

But yesterday also distilled for me
a growing sense

that I want more for us too, Ruth.

I don't want to be one of
the leading family law firms

in the capital. I want to be the
leading family law firm.

So, let's begin as we mean to go on.

I can't invite you back to NHD...

..because you never really left.

So, take a breath. Settle
yourself in.

Stalk the corridors.

Breathe a little fire over one or
two of the new paralegals.

And find me the big cases.

I mean the big, big cases.

That is music to my ears.

SHE EXHALES

Apologies.

Ms Scanlon, thank you for coming in
at such late notice.

Hi.

Ms Scanlon, er, we believe
Mrs Hansen's being intimidated

by her husband with knowledge
of footage

we suspect he has in his possession.

They know about the sex tape.

We want to take out an injunction to
stop it being leaked in the press.

It's our understanding that it was
recorded on your phone?

I...I didn't give it to anyone.

I never told the press.

So, you do have a copy?

He also sent one to himself.

We don't need to see it, but we do
need to ask some questions about it.

Are your faces clearly visible
on the recording?

Yes.

And Richie's too?

You see him from behind
a couple of times.

But...but mostly he's...

..holding the phone.

Drug use?

We did some coke.

There's no judgment here.

People make mistakes.

People do things they would have
done differently

if they had their chance again.

You cried afterwards. We couldn't
look at each other for a week.

He makes you feel as though
you're going mad,

but it's only when you get out you
see that you're the one that's sane.

I can't actually... He treats you
like shit too, Fi.

You know there are other women

that he's abused like me and you?

Most of them have worked for you
at one point or another.

And they're coming for him.

This time he won't get away with it.

How many women?

You want to talk about it?

Best not.

You sure? I'm known for my chat.

Chat. OK, let's chat.
What do you want to chat about?

Actually, scrap that.
Here's some chat for you.

Here's a priceless, juicy...

..piece of chat.

For the last 20 years...

..I've lived with a woman
who I've long suspected...

..loves someone else.

Call it professional instinct.

It's incredible how one lies
to oneself...

..in the hope, in the absolute hope,
that if you keep trying,

you keep doing your best...

I think I need to, er...

I think I need to...

DOOR OPENS

VOICEMAIL: Hi, this is Steph Gibson.
I can't get to the phone right now

but please leave a message.

Steph. Hannah Stern again.

Just checking where you are.
Please call.

Remind me why we're here again.
Moral support.

I'll try their assistant again.

Already tried.

It doesn't look good. They haven't
done themselves any favours.

We can't wait.

Ann, I am really sorry.
Please apologise to the panel.

Voicemail. Every time.

BACKGROUND CHATTER

Maggie.

Can you send that, please?

Call the Gibsons.

Find out why the hell they missed
their matching panel today.

Thank you.

You didn't tell him.

I didn't tell him.

Some things are yours and only yours
to tell, Nina.

Er...

..I can't stop drinking.

I'm nearly 12 weeks pregnant
and I can't stop drinking.

OK.

Do you want to? Nope.

Yes.

I need to. That's a good place
to start.

So?

Tonight.

City Church.

There's lots of hedge fund managers
and uptight bitches,

so you'll fit in fine.

I knew it. I knew you went
to meetings.

Who says I go to meetings?

It's your air of smug superiority -
of course you go to meetings.

HE CHUCKLES

I'll be there.

If you need someone to hold
your hand.

But cut the attitude or they'll
never let you in.

SHE SCOFFS

KNOCK ON DOOR

The Gibsons are here.
Thanks, Maggie.

We are so, so sorry.

We've been up all night. Suppose
that's my fault?

I am 1.8 seconds off what I ran
in the Commonwealth Games.

Yeah, I'm coming back from
an injury.

Someone needs to stay. Someone
needs to be here.

Well, do you want to toss for
it? What?

SLAMS DESK

Enough.

Now we can...sit here

arguing the why and why nots
of who's willing to parent here.

But you didn't show up today.

Hopefully the local authority
will give you another opportunity

to be matched with another child.
I won't.

I'm sorry?

Get yourself another lawyer,

because from where I'm standing,
a child needs parent to be there.

And if that is her elderly cousin

or whoever is willing to show up
for her

and be there, and perhaps who has
none of the, er,

privilege and wealth you have,

then my advice is to let that child
go to a parent who wants them.

And I'm calling it.

You've got to know when you are
ready and when you're not.

And both come with sacrifice. Now,
excuse me, I need to get on.

Nina. Can you show
Mr and Mrs Gibson out?

Fuck. Fuck.

Fuck.

And you weren't ready. That's why
I didn't tell you.

That's why I didn't come with you
that day.

I chose Nathan.

I chose Nathan to be the father
of my children.

I'm sorry, but I did.

And that's why I won't tell him
about the night before the wedding.

And you can't either.

Because if...if you do,
you destroy my marriage.

And I am begging you not to do that.

I left the adjustments to
the Hansen schedule on your desk.

Christie.

I was just going over the last
of the prenup paperwork.

Time is pressing.
Ruth, please. Not today.

Could we, er, regroup?

Tomorrow. Of course.

DOOR OPENS

You're a prick. Do you know what
you've done to us?

Do you know the damage
you have left behind?

OK, let's go somewhere and...

And do what, thrash it out man
to man?

You think this is something
about a fragile ego?

You think it's something I want
to sit down with you and talk about?

This is about my children.

This is about love. This is about
real love,

for Hannah, for them.

And now you've just walked in
and you have ripped it apart.

Now what are you going to
do, Nathan?

Beat the shit out of...

You really want to do this, huh?

Yes, I do.

Fuck!

What did I do to you?

What did I ever do to you?

TYLER: Hey!

Nathan, Na...

Nathan, Nate... Nathan, wait.

Hannah.

KNOCK ON DOOR
Zander was looking for you.

HANNAH SOBBING

NINA: Tell him she's gone home.
She's not well.

Oh yeah, I...I left my computer
on. Can you shut it down?

Yeah, sure. Thank you.

It was booked for Fi Hansen.

Fi Hansen.

Bastard! You OK?

Richie. He's cancelled my car
and closed my account.

Sorry.

First night without the kids.
