Original subtitles

I'm so sorry. I didn't see you.

Is that your wife?

Yep, that's Jen.

Jen's agreed to a trial separation.

I'm pregnant with a married man's child.

We all know what you did to get here.

Jen's wandering around like she's still your wife.

It's not yours, Sam. If there is something going on with him, be careful.

Jack will find out.

She was in my house, drunk.

She showed up at our supermarket the other week. Have you seen a woman? I

left my baby with her. You left your baby?

Have you been to see us since your chat? No. This needs to stop.

Tasha?

Tasha, please.

Will you wait?

Wait It's not what you think, okay, whatever you're thinking don't because

it's not that I'll explain if you let me all right

Thank you so much. You're welcome. Anytime.

Is that her?

No. Are you sleeping with her?

No.

I said no, I'm not sleeping with her.

You followed me tonight.

How long have you been doing that?

I didn't follow you.

I used the phone finder app.

Okay, okay.

All right, here's the truth.

Do you want to sit down?

You can't spend that much of your life with someone and then suddenly feel

nothing. I'm sorry, you can't.

Now, you told me to speak to her, and I did.

But one phone call, after 20 years, one phone call, that's not good enough.

And it appears as though there's no way to prove to you that I choose you over

her unless I never see her again. And I needed to see her again. So you forced

me into a pretty impossible situation.

Are you fucking with me right now?

I don't want you going for date nights with your ex-wife.

I don't think that's unreasonable.

Do you?

It was dinner. It was dinner.

She's got a new contract.

She needed someone. Tasha, I didn't want to let her down.

I didn't want to.

Because it's fucking difficult, but I'm trying to do this gently.

All right?

And it's different when you're older.

Fuck off! It is different.

She's got all of her friends, but all of them have families. All of them.

They're all doing their own thing.

It used to be just me and her, and now what?

I just abandoned her? Is that what you want?

I don't want anything.

You do what you want, and I'll do what I want.

Oh, for fuck's sake. Well, can I ask where you're going? Taking Emily away

from this shit show.

You're taking her. No, you're not taking her.

Sorry. Sorry.

I didn't mean that. I'm sorry. Okay.

Sorry.

I haven't been listening, but I am now. I promise you I'm listening now.

All right? I'm listening.

So...

No

more, Jen.

Okay.

Your family have to be nicer.

Yeah, I agree with that. I will definitely talk to my family.

And I promise you, things will get better. I promise.

You're my priority.

What?

Come on, tell me.

It's this house.

It's...

And I miss my life, my job.

Okay, right.

Right,

this is what we'll do.

Emily's old enough for nursery now, so let's start three days a week.

You get your space.

I can't lose you.

Go on.

Say it.

I've got nothing to say.

I'm all ears.

I told you how I felt about this from the start. So don't make out like I'm

holding back.

Well, yeah, but this is different.

This is new information.

The point is, do you believe him?

I do.

Okay. Well, you know how I feel.

But there's no way of knowing what they're getting up to in there.

I mean, they weren't going at it when you caught them, right? Sam.

I'm just saying, for balance.

I don't trust him, but you didn't catch him doing anything wrong, did you?

No. Right. And now it's all over, and Jen's not coming back ever again.

Okay.

So it is a good thing.

Yeah.

Great news about the nursery, though.

We're getting some time back.

Oh.

So it's mandatory for companies to have a pumping room. Lush.

But there is no universal signage yet, so I thought I'd give it a go for my

portfolio. There she is.

I love it.

I'm here for you, you know.

Whenever you need.

Oi, seriously.

Last time I told you how I felt about Jack, we didn't speak for a year.

A year.

I'm not risking that again.

If you're happy, I'm happy.

Yeah, right.

For real.

Um... Can I use your bathroom quickly before I go?

Yeah, just be quiet, because Emily's sleeping.

All right, sweet.

Who's gonna go to bed me you

Isn't that Daddy?

No, it's not Daddy.

I come in peace, bearing gifts.

I know I'm an awful witch but I've driven three hours and I'm gasping for

coffee.

And I promise I'm on absolute best behaviour.

Yeah,

come in.

I'm just putting her upstairs.

I'm not going to sugarcoat it.

Jack really went to town on us.

Even mum and dad didn't come out unscathed and we'd given up on them

years ago.

They probably need water. It's a long drive and I had the heating blasting.

He must really love you, Jackie.

He's not done anything like that before, so good for you.

God, this is good.

This is the one he gets from Guatemala, right?

He told us how unhappy he had been.

It's hard that first year with a new baby, isn't it?

Yeah, it's bloody hard.

It's uncanny how much she looks like him.

You're in there, of course, the chin maybe, but his eyes, cheeks,

dimples.

Yeah, kids are hard.

I can't imagine what it's been like for you.

No support network.

Hadn't occurred to me until Jack said it.

He said you'd been brilliant, of course.

I've been awful to you.

Not a literal or a figurative sister, but... I'm here now, and I'm sorry.

I really appreciate you saying that.

It's been a little harder than I expected.

But worth it, of course. I mean, I wouldn't change it for the world, but...

It's funny how we can create

a person in our minds.

You're not who I thought you were at all.

I didn't think somebody like you would care what we thought of you.

I didn't realise you'd be quite so fragile.

Don't get me wrong, I could deal with a touch more fragility.

Or I could, of course, completely change. But that might run the risk of a

full character implosion.

Well, please don't implode. Our clean is not here till next week.

Is Jen okay?

Look, Jack really loves you.

He'd do anything to make you happy, but you said jump, he jumped.

No one said a word to her.

Cold turkey after 20 years.

I'm not blaming you, but no contact means no contact.

You asked.

The answer is no, she's not really okay.

I have to go.

Sorry.

Take care.

See you soon.

Yeah.

Right, well, he said specifically no purple.

He didn't say anything about mauve, did he? So let's get the swatches and mail

them across.

Sorry to barge in. It's just Hayley came by yesterday.

She told me Jack had stopped talking to you and hadn't explained why.

That's my fault.

So I thought I should come and explain.

Or... Apologise. I don't know.

I don't know what I'm doing, Jen.

And up until now, I've been behaving as though I'm still this laid-back, easy

-going Gen Z or whatever. But the truth is, I'm not.

You're a lovely person.

But the lovelier you are, the more it frankly scares the shit out of me.

You should hate me.

I stole your husband.

I don't hate you, Tasha.

I hate what happened to me.

And Jack.

But that happened long before you arrived.

Jack needed a fresh start, and you were exactly that.

And if I'm honest, I'm not sure I would be doing any different if the tables

were turned.

It's okay, I'm right here.

God, she's just hungry.

Oh, hi, darling.

Hello. Hi, how's my girl?

Oh.

Begins, look.

Yeah, yeah.

I've actually forgotten her food, so I'm going to have to go. Oh, in the kitchen.

The cupboard on the right.

Oh, it's a ducky. Quack, quack. Quack, quack.

Did you find it?

Yep.

Oh, what's this?

Everything okay?

Yeah, everything's fine

Thank

you my pleasure

Jack

brought her here

A few times, actually.

Or I should say he dropped by and she was with him.

Recently?

No, no. When she was younger.

Come in for weekend days for a coffee or we'd all go for a walk, wouldn't we?

And you thought you'd buy food for her just on the off chance that Jack would

pop by with my daughter?

No, of course not.

Jack must have left them here by accident.

I probably should have been them, actually.

All

right.

Here they are.

You should probably have them, otherwise it's just a waste. I'm sorry, Jen.

No, no. Don't be silly.

I understand.

Like I said.

The tables were turned.

Tasha, finally!

Hey, sorry I missed your calls, are you okay?

Yes, I'm trying to get a hold of you, where are you?

I know, I know, I was busy.

What's up?

I did something.

What? What did you do?

I needed to talk to you earlier, so I went to the house and Jack was there.

Jack was there? Yes.

In the middle of the day?

He was being weird.

He was making even less of an effort to disguise the fact that he didn't want me

there. So he left and I... I followed him.

You followed Jack?

Yes.

But I think he saw me.

Sam, you idiot.

He saw you.

Why the fuck were you following Jack?

I wanted to get a hold of you and he was acting strange.

I'm looking out for you. He was acting strange? Sam, this isn't looking out for

me. This is crazy behavior.

Okay.

Okay.

Are you sure he saw you?

Yeah.

Yeah, I think so.

And?

I drove off.

Oh my god, Sam, if you didn't think that something was going on between us

before, I'd say you might now, don't you think?

I think a certain someone dropped this.

I'll let you get back to Sam.

Yeah? Yeah.

Oh, I forgot to say, I forgot to say, I have to go to New York again. Oh.

There's a last minute thing to do.

Oh, right.

Oh, that's okay.

It is.

Yeah, I was going to get you a ticket, but I figured the timing's still off.

Beautiful.

And look, we're nearly at the front.

We're nearly at the front.

So look out, fellow drivers, because my dad's got a previous for speeding.

It's fine. Here, look.

Who is it?

It's Johnny.

Johnny?

Sorry, it's a work thing.

Yeah, yeah, you go.

Have fun.

Sorry,

what is it?

Up we go.

mind watching her thank you thank you

Have you seen it? There was a little girl here. Just a second, girl.

Sasha? Tash?

What's happening? It's Emily. She was there, and then she's... Okay, okay.

Jen!

Jen! What the hell do you think you're doing with my child?

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God. No, I'm so sorry.

I'm her mother. I'm her mother. I'm her mother.

I'm so sorry. You left her alone. I was looking for you. I know. There was an

emergency. Thank you so much for looking after her. So busy place. You shouldn't

just leave her alone.

I know. I know. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you so much. It's okay.

I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry. I wasn't paying attention.

It's okay.

I won't leave you ever again. I promise. Never.

Never. It's okay. There's no harm. I promise I won't ever do that again.

It's okay. It's fine.

It's okay.

It's okay. No, it's not okay.

it's not okay you were arguing with johnny and then and then i i i i saw you

thought you saw jen yeah yeah i think after the soft play

heard tash you know she's not here right

So sorry.

And she had Emily's food in her house.

What do you mean?

Pouches of toddler food.

In her cupboard.

It was... She claims that you left them there.

Accidentally. The last time you went round.

Did you?

Well...

I guess I must have, if she says so.

I don't know.

It was weird.

What did you expect?

A broken woman?

She's not like you.

Not like me how?

She doesn't express emotions like this.

It's just not what she does.

No, that's not the criticism of you. It's just... Her whole world could be

crumbling and you'd never know it. You'd think she was fine or joking.

Or as I?

Tasha, I'm not starting anything.

She's just older and she's been through lots of things.

Don't do that.

Do what?

I get it. I'm... You're the wise elders and I'm this footloose charso who's

lucky to be here.

No.

The thing is, Jack, I... know who I am.

I've been a grown-up since... I turned 16 and started working to fund my own

education. I supported my mother, and then after she died, I supported myself.

So you're going to have to find another angle if you want to justify all of this

bullshit.

Because the truth is that... The truth is...

You left your wife, but you didn't leave her, did you?

She's here right now.

She may as well be having dinner with us.

It's a really unfair thing to say.

Jack.

Jack, can we... Can you come back so we can... It's totally unfair, and you know

it is.

This isn't going to change, is it?

You said things would change, but...

I can't do this anymore.

If I don't leave... I feel like I'm going to disappear.

Tasha.

Tasha?

Tasha!

Are you not speaking to me now?

I'm gonna go check on Emily.

Check.

You're my wife.

There's no one else here. It's just you and me.

We could renew our vows.

Or move somewhere.

Let's move somewhere.

I might have to if the glass bursts.

Oh yeah.

I'll get it fixed.

You know what you said earlier about me being a wise old elder and you...

You know I don't think that, do you?

There's been such a weird day.

I saw Sam earlier.

Your Sam.

Hanging around outside the house. Then again at work. He was... He was really

unsettling.

Something's definitely up with him.

Do you think he has feelings for you?

What? He was at the house.

No.

No,

he doesn't.

I don't know.

What happened?

Did you speak?

Do you want me to say something to him? We spoke briefly. It was weird. But no,

don't cause a problem.

Trust him, that's all.

Hmm.

It was probably a coincidence him being in town.

He's a cabbie, isn't he?

Yeah. Weird.

Except you.

I am.

Now listen.

I'm going to be gone for three nights.

So that gives you three glorious days to relax, be creative, find a job and

generally have a lovely time.

Alright?

I'll see you when I'm back.

I've got Emily up and dressed for nursery, so I'll drop her off on the way

to the airport. Oh, that's okay. No, it's fine. It's fine.

She'll be fine.

Packed her nursery bag with all of her things.

Garrote, mace, cleaver, usual stuff.

I am a pretty hands-on dad.

I don't know if you've noticed.

I trust you.

Well, at least someone does.

What for?

Changing my life, kiddo.

You're too old, man.

Thank you.

Hello? Oh, hey.

It's Natasha, isn't it? It's Johnny. We met at Jack's hearing, the driving van.

I'm sorry to bother you at home. I'm just trying to track Jack down. He's not

there, is he?

Hi, yeah, Johnny. I remember.

He's actually just left New York on a business trip.

Really?

Oh.

Okay, right.

How's he?

My mistake, then. I'll just...

The number you have called has not been recognized.

Hello, stranger.

There she is.

Back in the game.

It's just an interview.

It's in the bag.

I've got a good feeling about it.

But, yo, listen, I need to speak to you about something.

Sorry, hang on.

You here for? Emily Warrington. Great, I'll go get her.

Sorry, you still there?

Always. How's my princess doing?

Well, good, I think. The algebra's coming along nicely. Oh, and she speaks

Spanish now.

No-one needs to learn algebra ever.

But listen, I really need to talk to you.

Is everything okay?

Sorry, Sam, I'll call you back.

Hi. Sorry, just to clarify, you're here for? Emily Warrington.

My mum. Yes, yes. Emily's already been collected.

What?

What do you mean, collected?

By who?

Who collected Emily earlier?

Emily's mum.

I'm her mum.

Who the hell did you give my child to?

She was in the pickup book.

No, no, no, no, no. This can't be happening.

What did she look like? The woman who took my child!
