1
00:01:03,731 --> 00:01:07,400
People have always
trusted me with their secrets,
2
00:01:07,609 --> 00:01:11,154
but who do I trust with mine?
3
00:01:11,447 --> 00:01:14,949
You. Only you.
4
00:01:46,857 --> 00:01:49,650
The first day of a new term.
5
00:01:52,196 --> 00:01:55,448
Here come the local pubescent proles,
6
00:01:55,574 --> 00:02:01,579
the future plumbers and shop assistants
and doubtless the odd terrorist, too.
7
00:02:04,249 --> 00:02:08,795
In the old days,
we confiscated cigarettes and wank mags.
8
00:02:08,879 --> 00:02:11,798
Now it's knives and crack cocaine.
9
00:02:14,092 --> 00:02:16,636
And they call it progress.
10
00:02:20,724 --> 00:02:22,850
Tony.
11
00:02:23,060 --> 00:02:26,062
Mrs. Hart, art department.
12
00:02:26,230 --> 00:02:31,317
In 1517 Martin Luther nails his 95 points
to a church door
13
00:02:31,443 --> 00:02:35,822
in Wittenberg.
14
00:02:39,284 --> 00:02:41,285
Poison granny.
15
00:02:46,834 --> 00:02:48,918
Piss off, you prick.
16
00:02:49,628 --> 00:02:53,673
Before we begin, for those of you
who haven't delivered your reports,
17
00:02:53,757 --> 00:02:57,969
please lob them in my general direction.
Thank you, Bill. Thank you, Mary.
18
00:02:58,095 --> 00:03:01,097
Thank you, John. Thank you, Elaine.
19
00:03:01,765 --> 00:03:06,269
Ah. Has everyone met our new art teacher,
Sheba Hart?
20
00:03:06,353 --> 00:03:10,189
I've asked Sheba to sit in on this meeting.
As you all know,
21
00:03:10,274 --> 00:03:15,194
I regard the arts as absolutely essential
to our policy of reform through nurture.
22
00:03:15,279 --> 00:03:17,864
Thank you, Chris. Very good. Very good.
23
00:03:18,115 --> 00:03:21,492
Thank you, Sue.
I say, that's a big one, isn't it?
24
00:03:21,577 --> 00:03:24,704
I'll be up till the crack of dawn!
25
00:03:24,788 --> 00:03:28,124
Anyone else not handed
in their homework? Right, and...
26
00:03:28,375 --> 00:03:30,084
Thank you.
27
00:03:30,711 --> 00:03:33,170
Lovely. Thank you.
28
00:03:34,339 --> 00:03:35,464
Barbara?
29
00:03:44,433 --> 00:03:47,685
This is your report?
On the history department?
30
00:03:47,769 --> 00:03:52,440
On its entire workings and your general
thoughts for its future development?
31
00:03:53,150 --> 00:03:55,818
You'll find it's quite thorough, Headmaster.
32
00:03:57,696 --> 00:04:02,241
"The history department functions as one
would expect for a school of this intake.
33
00:04:02,326 --> 00:04:06,662
"Examination results
have been consistent for 30 years,
34
00:04:06,747 --> 00:04:10,625
"below the national average
but above the level of catastrophe."
35
00:04:11,335 --> 00:04:15,129
"Recommendation, no change necessary."
36
00:04:18,091 --> 00:04:20,843
It took me most of the summer to write it.
37
00:04:23,347 --> 00:04:25,932
Hard to read the wispy novice.
38
00:04:26,016 --> 00:04:27,934
Piss off, you prick.
39
00:04:28,018 --> 00:04:31,187
Is she a sphinx, or simply stupid?
40
00:04:31,271 --> 00:04:34,482
All right. Off the phone, please.
Give me the phone.
41
00:04:34,566 --> 00:04:37,777
Artfully dishevelled today.
42
00:04:37,861 --> 00:04:40,738
The tweedy tramp coat is an abhorrence.
43
00:04:40,822 --> 00:04:44,617
It seems to say, "I'm just like you."
44
00:04:44,701 --> 00:04:47,453
But clearly she's not.
45
00:04:47,537 --> 00:04:50,539
A fey person, I suspect.
46
00:04:50,624 --> 00:04:52,500
Fey.
47
00:04:52,584 --> 00:04:55,461
Come on, come on, pass it.
Yes, I'm over here!
48
00:04:55,545 --> 00:04:57,421
Yeah!
49
00:05:03,095 --> 00:05:05,513
- Put your shirt on.
- I got the winner.
50
00:05:05,597 --> 00:05:08,391
Glory be. Shirt!
51
00:05:10,727 --> 00:05:15,356
She has certainly rippled the waters
of our stagnant pond.
52
00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:17,441
They flock to her.
53
00:05:17,526 --> 00:05:23,280
Even limp little Brian had a go.
Oh, the horror.
54
00:05:23,365 --> 00:05:25,908
- Hiya.
- Oh, hello.
55
00:05:25,993 --> 00:05:28,744
- That's a lovely blouse.
- What? Oh!
56
00:05:29,454 --> 00:05:32,164
And Fatty Hodge has pounced on her.
57
00:05:32,249 --> 00:05:34,792
A dubious double act,
58
00:05:34,918 --> 00:05:38,045
the blonde and the pig in knickers.
59
00:05:38,130 --> 00:05:41,465
I just went past the art studio.
It's like bloody Lord of the Flies.
60
00:05:41,591 --> 00:05:42,717
Have they gone for her?
61
00:05:42,801 --> 00:05:45,553
Torn her posters down.
There's a paint fight.
62
00:05:45,637 --> 00:05:49,932
They're chanting, "Get your tits out
for the lads." Girls, too. It's carnage.
63
00:05:50,100 --> 00:05:51,225
How was madam?
64
00:05:51,309 --> 00:05:54,270
Lost it. "Stop it,
you little fucking bastards!"
65
00:05:54,604 --> 00:05:58,357
- You should have stepped in.
- He didn't want to patronise the lady.
66
00:05:58,442 --> 00:06:01,318
This time next year
she'll be headmistress.
67
00:06:01,403 --> 00:06:05,364
- Oh, Christ, will you shut up?
- Sorry. Sorry.
68
00:06:05,449 --> 00:06:08,367
Char, anyone? Babs?
69
00:06:09,286 --> 00:06:12,663
- Milk, no sugar.
- Sweet enough?
70
00:06:12,748 --> 00:06:16,459
- Evidently.
- Didn't her father invent inflation?
71
00:06:16,752 --> 00:06:19,295
- You what?
- Wasn't her dad that academic?
72
00:06:19,546 --> 00:06:24,341
Donald whatsit. Economics bloke.
Invented the word "inflation".
73
00:06:24,551 --> 00:06:26,927
Oh, yeah. I know who you mean.
74
00:06:27,304 --> 00:06:30,389
I think you'll find that
Mrs. Hart's father was Ronald Taylor.
75
00:06:30,474 --> 00:06:32,933
He didn't invent inflation.
76
00:06:33,393 --> 00:06:36,604
He devised a theory about
the relationship between inflation
77
00:06:36,772 --> 00:06:38,689
and consumer expectation.
78
00:06:44,905 --> 00:06:47,740
Davis, get off him! Stop it!
79
00:06:47,824 --> 00:06:51,160
- No, you're an arsehole.
- Stop it!
80
00:06:53,538 --> 00:06:59,293
- Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight!
- Stop it! Stop it immediately!
81
00:06:59,377 --> 00:07:03,756
Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight!
Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight!
82
00:07:03,840 --> 00:07:07,176
You're going to hurt one another!
Now, stop it!
83
00:07:07,344 --> 00:07:08,469
Davis, get off him!
84
00:07:09,179 --> 00:07:11,013
Enough!
85
00:07:11,181 --> 00:07:13,933
Outside! Now!
86
00:07:23,902 --> 00:07:27,696
- Fuck off!
- Absolute silence. Absolute!
87
00:07:33,954 --> 00:07:37,915
- Why were they fighting, Mrs. Hart?
- Their motive was unclear.
88
00:07:37,999 --> 00:07:41,585
Davis, I know. You're a little thug.
Who might you be?
89
00:07:41,711 --> 00:07:43,420
- Steven Connolly, Miss.
- What?
90
00:07:43,588 --> 00:07:45,381
- Steven Connolly, Miss.
- Year?
91
00:07:45,549 --> 00:07:48,467
- Year 10, Miss.
- You're the naked footballer.
92
00:07:49,386 --> 00:07:53,222
Why were you fighting?
It's a perfectly simple question.
93
00:07:53,557 --> 00:07:55,850
- Dunno, Miss.
- You don't know.
94
00:07:56,101 --> 00:08:00,062
One minute you're inert,
the next you're trying to castrate a pupil.
95
00:08:00,313 --> 00:08:02,022
Nothing occurred
between these two states?
96
00:08:02,107 --> 00:08:03,190
No.
97
00:08:03,275 --> 00:08:06,485
Don't play the hero with me, Connolly. Yes?
98
00:08:06,570 --> 00:08:09,572
Brain, mouth, speak.
99
00:08:11,366 --> 00:08:15,244
He was saying stuff about Miss.
It was bang out of order.
100
00:08:16,496 --> 00:08:19,290
- What did you say?
- I never said nothing, Miss.
101
00:08:19,541 --> 00:08:23,460
"I didn't say anything."
What did he say? Come on!
102
00:08:23,753 --> 00:08:26,922
He said she's a tart.
He said he gave her one up the arse.
103
00:08:27,340 --> 00:08:29,133
Did you, indeed?
104
00:08:29,384 --> 00:08:31,760
Odious boy. Apologise at once.
105
00:08:32,012 --> 00:08:35,472
- Sorry, Miss.
- Deputy head in the morning.
106
00:08:35,891 --> 00:08:37,766
Get back inside, both of you.
107
00:08:43,607 --> 00:08:47,193
Little towers of testosterone.
You'll soon get used to them.
108
00:08:47,277 --> 00:08:50,446
Thank you so much.
109
00:08:50,530 --> 00:08:54,533
I'd better... Oh, I'm sorry.
We haven't met properly. I'm Sheba Hart.
110
00:08:54,618 --> 00:08:56,702
Barbara Covett.
111
00:08:59,664 --> 00:09:04,668
Her voice is pure,
as if her mouth were empty and clean.
112
00:09:04,753 --> 00:09:07,588
As if she'd never had a filling.
113
00:09:07,672 --> 00:09:10,925
The complexion of a white peach.
114
00:09:11,009 --> 00:09:13,719
One can almost see her veins.
115
00:09:14,095 --> 00:09:17,640
Her trendy politics
are similarly transparent.
116
00:09:17,891 --> 00:09:21,227
We serve them best
if we teach them to read, write and add.
117
00:09:21,311 --> 00:09:23,812
They don't need to know
about basket weavers.
118
00:09:23,897 --> 00:09:26,690
- Barbara's keen on the basics.
- When you started,
119
00:09:26,775 --> 00:09:29,360
didn't you want to give them
a real education
120
00:09:29,444 --> 00:09:33,781
to help them overcome
the poverty of their backgrounds?
121
00:09:33,865 --> 00:09:38,744
Oh, yes, of course. But one soon learns
that teaching is crowd control.
122
00:09:38,828 --> 00:09:41,372
Come here.
You know you're not supposed...
123
00:09:41,456 --> 00:09:46,502
We're a branch of the social services.
Put that back, you.
124
00:09:49,756 --> 00:09:51,590
Console yourself with the gems.
125
00:09:51,675 --> 00:09:55,094
That's when it's satisfying.
You can make a real difference.
126
00:09:55,178 --> 00:09:58,681
The rest is just cattle-prod and pray.
127
00:09:59,849 --> 00:10:03,185
I can see why others are beguiled by her.
128
00:10:04,271 --> 00:10:05,271
Oh, hello.
129
00:10:05,355 --> 00:10:09,149
I wonder if she possesses
the requisite heft?
130
00:10:09,234 --> 00:10:11,652
- Do you fancy a coffee?
- Yeah.
131
00:10:11,736 --> 00:10:13,779
Sheba!
132
00:10:13,863 --> 00:10:16,865
- Sorry.
- That's the year 11s. They're a nightmare.
133
00:10:16,950 --> 00:10:19,868
Do you want to join us?
We're going for a quick coffee.
134
00:10:21,037 --> 00:10:25,416
- I've got a bit of an announcement.
- You're leaving St George's?
135
00:10:25,500 --> 00:10:26,959
No.
136
00:10:27,252 --> 00:10:29,878
Oh, you're pregnant.
137
00:10:33,008 --> 00:10:34,800
That's fantastic.
138
00:10:35,051 --> 00:10:38,304
Oh, congratulations. When are you due?
139
00:10:38,388 --> 00:10:41,432
- June 7.
- A summer baby. How lovely.
140
00:10:41,516 --> 00:10:44,601
I can't believe nobody's noticed.
I'm 14 weeks.
141
00:10:44,686 --> 00:10:46,562
Didn't you see how chunky I'm getting?
142
00:10:46,646 --> 00:10:48,981
Didn't like to say. Where are you having it?
143
00:10:49,065 --> 00:10:52,818
Homerton. It's really nice there.
144
00:10:52,902 --> 00:10:55,029
Lovely, friendly nurses.
145
00:10:55,113 --> 00:10:58,032
I'm going to find out at the next scan.
20 weeks.
146
00:11:00,535 --> 00:11:04,955
- Do you want to come to lunch on Sunday?
- Where?
147
00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:08,375
To mine. To our house.
148
00:11:08,460 --> 00:11:12,838
- Won't you be with the family?
- Oh, yes, but you're very welcome.
149
00:11:12,922 --> 00:11:17,259
It's no big deal.
I'll just do a lasagne or something.
150
00:11:17,344 --> 00:11:19,470
I adore lasagne.
151
00:11:20,305 --> 00:11:26,643
Bliss. A merry flag on the Arctic wilderness
of my calendar.
152
00:11:26,728 --> 00:11:31,065
One must make an effort
when one receives an invitation.
153
00:11:33,234 --> 00:11:36,653
The art of it is seeming not to.
154
00:11:41,826 --> 00:11:45,537
Lasagne tends to disagree with my bowels.
155
00:11:45,622 --> 00:11:48,207
I'll ask for a small portion.
156
00:12:14,692 --> 00:12:20,322
- Oh, I think I've got the wrong house.
- No, you're bang on. I'm Richard. Come in.
157
00:12:21,032 --> 00:12:22,741
I'm sorry. I thought...
158
00:12:22,826 --> 00:12:25,119
That I'd be 20 years younger
and handsome.
159
00:12:25,203 --> 00:12:27,413
- Bash!
- The kitchen's on fire!
160
00:12:27,664 --> 00:12:30,249
Sorry if you were there long.
The bell's knackered.
161
00:12:30,500 --> 00:12:33,085
- Hi, Barbara.
- Hello.
162
00:12:36,047 --> 00:12:38,340
Oh, what a splendid room.
163
00:12:38,425 --> 00:12:41,760
What can I get you?
We're semi-pro drinkers here. You name it.
164
00:12:41,845 --> 00:12:43,929
A dry sherry, please.
165
00:12:44,013 --> 00:12:48,016
I think we might have
some apricot brandy knocking around.
166
00:12:49,018 --> 00:12:50,269
- A dry white wine?
- Done.
167
00:12:50,395 --> 00:12:52,688
Have a seat.
168
00:13:00,822 --> 00:13:03,282
You must be Polly. I'm Barbara.
169
00:13:03,366 --> 00:13:05,617
Hi, Barbara.
170
00:13:09,998 --> 00:13:13,000
- Are you going somewhere?
- Excuse me?
171
00:13:13,084 --> 00:13:15,961
- You're all poshed up.
- Oh.
172
00:13:16,045 --> 00:13:18,547
I have an appointment.
173
00:13:18,798 --> 00:13:21,258
Later, in town.
174
00:13:25,847 --> 00:13:30,642
- Have you always lived here?
- Mum inherited it. It's her little joke.
175
00:13:30,727 --> 00:13:34,396
I only married her for the property.
Morning.
176
00:13:35,607 --> 00:13:37,483
- Did Pete go?
- Mm.
177
00:13:37,567 --> 00:13:41,320
- He was welcome to stay.
- He's not really into lunch.
178
00:13:42,363 --> 00:13:43,780
Cheers.
179
00:13:45,617 --> 00:13:48,076
Mm. Are you interested in wine?
180
00:13:48,161 --> 00:13:52,247
Only the drinking part. You?
181
00:13:52,332 --> 00:13:55,542
I spent the summer on the Amalfi coast...
182
00:13:55,627 --> 00:14:00,255
Here's trouble. Now, now, now,
now, now, now, easy, Rocky! Easy.
183
00:14:00,507 --> 00:14:02,341
Easy, peasy, wheezy.
184
00:14:02,592 --> 00:14:08,639
I'd anticipated a suave young lawyer
and two perfect poppets.
185
00:14:08,932 --> 00:14:13,268
Not so. She's married
some crumbling patriarch.
186
00:14:13,436 --> 00:14:15,312
He's nearly as old as me.
187
00:14:15,438 --> 00:14:19,650
And then there's the daughter,
a pocket princess,
188
00:14:19,734 --> 00:14:23,111
and finally a somewhat tiresome
court jester.
189
00:14:23,196 --> 00:14:26,865
Ah, lovely. Thank you.
190
00:14:28,076 --> 00:14:30,702
- I'm going to be a wizard.
- Oh.
191
00:14:31,496 --> 00:14:35,332
- Is that when you're grown up?
- No. He's been cast in his school play.
192
00:14:35,416 --> 00:14:38,502
I'm gonna wear a cape and my wand...
193
00:14:38,586 --> 00:14:43,799
Amongst next year's cultural highlights,
I greatly look forward to Benjamin Hart
194
00:14:43,883 --> 00:14:48,512
in the key role of "The Wizard", and I find
myself beside myself with anticipation.
195
00:14:48,596 --> 00:14:50,722
A rogue image swam through me,
196
00:14:50,807 --> 00:14:55,477
hubby's pruney old mouth
pursed at Sheba's breast.
197
00:15:02,485 --> 00:15:06,488
After lunch,
a rather mortifying family tradition.
198
00:15:06,573 --> 00:15:10,826
They do things differently
in bourgeois bohemia.
199
00:15:21,045 --> 00:15:23,171
Oh! Thank you.
200
00:15:28,469 --> 00:15:31,221
Come on. Come on.
201
00:15:31,306 --> 00:15:33,390
No.
202
00:15:58,583 --> 00:16:00,334
- You ready?
- Watch out.
203
00:16:00,418 --> 00:16:02,628
Yes!
204
00:16:02,962 --> 00:16:05,005
He took me away for our anniversary.
It was years ago.
205
00:16:05,089 --> 00:16:07,716
When we came back it was here,
206
00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:09,384
as if by magic.
207
00:16:09,677 --> 00:16:12,220
Oh!
208
00:16:12,513 --> 00:16:15,807
It was supposed to be my studio, but
209
00:16:17,101 --> 00:16:20,187
it's more of a refuge, really.
210
00:16:20,271 --> 00:16:22,564
A room of one's own.
211
00:16:24,651 --> 00:16:26,610
Is this you?
212
00:16:27,737 --> 00:16:29,071
Mm.
213
00:16:29,238 --> 00:16:31,365
It was.
214
00:16:32,617 --> 00:16:35,243
Oh, I love these.
215
00:16:35,495 --> 00:16:39,539
- Such vibrant colours.
- Take one. Take two. Have the lot, actually.
216
00:16:39,624 --> 00:16:44,336
- I couldn't possibly.
- Honestly, no one else wants them.
217
00:16:44,420 --> 00:16:47,381
I'll treasure them.
218
00:16:47,465 --> 00:16:51,551
It must be exhausting,
running a family and teaching as well.
219
00:16:51,636 --> 00:16:55,055
Oh, I can't wait for term to end.
220
00:16:55,139 --> 00:16:58,767
Roll on Christmas and a month of sod all.
221
00:17:02,313 --> 00:17:06,108
I shouldn't have kidded myself
I could teach.
222
00:17:06,818 --> 00:17:10,946
It's just that I've spent
the last ten years looking after Ben
223
00:17:11,030 --> 00:17:13,865
and I was so desperate
to get out and do something,
224
00:17:13,950 --> 00:17:19,121
and finally we get him into this great
local school and I'm free to work and...
225
00:17:20,081 --> 00:17:24,376
- You're gonna be a terrific teacher.
- Thanks.
226
00:17:24,961 --> 00:17:28,964
But I'm bloody hopeless,
and everyone knows it.
227
00:17:29,090 --> 00:17:31,133
Children are feral.
228
00:17:31,300 --> 00:17:34,136
Don't let them sense your anxiety.
229
00:17:36,472 --> 00:17:39,850
- How do you cope?
- Oh, I'm just a battle-axe.
230
00:17:40,476 --> 00:17:42,978
I'm not popular, but they respect me.
231
00:17:43,396 --> 00:17:48,275
Well, you're popular with me.
It's strange. I feel like I can talk to you.
232
00:17:48,484 --> 00:17:51,278
She spoke of her vile mother,
233
00:17:52,155 --> 00:17:55,699
her grief over the death of her father,
234
00:17:55,992 --> 00:17:58,994
the glory days when Richard
scooped her up
235
00:17:59,162 --> 00:18:05,167
and then jettisoned wife and children
for what she called a nonstop fuckfest.
236
00:18:06,169 --> 00:18:12,340
It's a peculiar trait of the privileged,
immediate incautious intimacy.
237
00:18:12,967 --> 00:18:17,053
But Sheba went well beyond
the tendencies of her class.
238
00:18:18,014 --> 00:18:20,682
She was utterly candid,
239
00:18:21,726 --> 00:18:25,020
a novice confessing to the mother superior.
240
00:18:25,855 --> 00:18:30,066
You know, marriage and kids,
I mean, it's wonderful,
241
00:18:30,151 --> 00:18:33,403
but it doesn't give you meaning.
242
00:18:33,654 --> 00:18:37,282
It gives you an imperative
but it doesn't help you...
243
00:18:37,366 --> 00:18:42,204
My father always used to say,
you know, on the tube, "Mind the gap."
244
00:18:45,458 --> 00:18:51,087
I don't know. It's just the distance
between life as you dream it
245
00:18:51,172 --> 00:18:53,256
and
246
00:18:54,717 --> 00:18:56,927
life as it is.
247
00:18:59,722 --> 00:19:02,140
I know exactly what you mean.
248
00:19:09,565 --> 00:19:12,025
A gold-star day.
249
00:19:13,402 --> 00:19:16,571
I always knew we'd be friends.
250
00:19:16,948 --> 00:19:19,032
Our mutual reserve inhibited us,
251
00:19:19,116 --> 00:19:23,787
but now it is manifest,
a spiritual recognition.
252
00:19:25,164 --> 00:19:27,916
Many of you
will enjoy Christmas.
253
00:19:28,084 --> 00:19:31,086
S and I share the ability
254
00:19:31,254 --> 00:19:35,966
to see through
the quotidian awfulness of things.
255
00:19:37,885 --> 00:19:40,762
In a different, better age,
256
00:19:40,847 --> 00:19:43,932
we would be ladies of leisure,
lunching together,
257
00:19:44,016 --> 00:19:46,685
visiting galleries, travelling,
258
00:19:46,769 --> 00:19:49,062
putting the world to rights.
259
00:19:49,146 --> 00:19:52,941
We would be companions.
260
00:19:59,323 --> 00:20:02,993
Christ by highest heaven adored
261
00:20:03,077 --> 00:20:06,538
Christ the everlasting Lord
262
00:20:06,622 --> 00:20:09,583
Late in time behold him come
263
00:20:09,667 --> 00:20:12,919
Offspring of a virgin's womb
264
00:20:13,004 --> 00:20:16,214
It's taken. I'm saving it for Sheba.
265
00:20:16,340 --> 00:20:17,465
Sorry.
266
00:20:17,550 --> 00:20:19,634
Hail the incarnate Deity
267
00:20:20,219 --> 00:20:22,846
Pleased as man with man to dwell
268
00:20:22,930 --> 00:20:26,433
Jesus, Emmanuel
269
00:20:26,517 --> 00:20:29,728
Hark! The herald angels sing
270
00:20:29,812 --> 00:20:34,357
Glory to the newborn King
271
00:21:31,082 --> 00:21:33,500
Very good. Well done.
272
00:21:51,060 --> 00:21:53,144
Hark! The herald angels sing
273
00:21:53,229 --> 00:21:56,064
"Glory to the newborn King"
274
00:21:56,148 --> 00:21:58,483
Hark! The herald angels sing
275
00:21:58,567 --> 00:22:01,486
"Glory to the newborn King"
276
00:22:01,570 --> 00:22:03,989
Hark! The herald angels sing
277
00:22:04,073 --> 00:22:07,617
Glory to the newborn King
278
00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:46,448
Ben, pop it in the car, sweetheart. Hello?
279
00:22:47,033 --> 00:22:49,743
I need to speak to you
about Steven Connolly.
280
00:22:51,287 --> 00:22:54,039
- Who?
- Let's not, shall we?
281
00:22:54,457 --> 00:22:58,251
Doubtless you're aware
you've committed a criminal offence.
282
00:22:58,586 --> 00:23:00,962
I'll be with you at five.
283
00:23:05,426 --> 00:23:07,052
Let's go to the pub, OK?
284
00:23:10,264 --> 00:23:12,849
When will you tell them?
285
00:23:13,100 --> 00:23:15,477
I need to know the circumstances.
286
00:23:15,770 --> 00:23:18,146
You must inform me of everything.
287
00:23:21,233 --> 00:23:24,402
Actually, you were there
when I first saw him.
288
00:23:24,737 --> 00:23:27,197
I think you gave him a telling off.
289
00:23:27,490 --> 00:23:30,325
I gave him a slight ticking off.
290
00:23:30,659 --> 00:23:33,161
He dedicated his goal to me.
291
00:23:33,621 --> 00:23:36,331
It amused me, nothing more.
292
00:23:37,625 --> 00:23:42,128
Then a few days later he came to see me.
293
00:23:42,505 --> 00:23:47,592
- Would you have a look at me drawings?
- I'll look in class. You do Art, don't you?
294
00:23:48,010 --> 00:23:50,929
I'm not allowed. I'm special needs.
295
00:23:51,347 --> 00:23:54,099
I gotta do extra reading instead.
296
00:23:54,350 --> 00:23:56,851
Did you do these at home?
297
00:24:05,528 --> 00:24:07,946
These are good.
298
00:24:08,364 --> 00:24:10,323
You can draw.
299
00:24:13,285 --> 00:24:16,830
If we pull strings for one child
the whole system will unravel.
300
00:24:16,914 --> 00:24:20,250
But he's talented.
He's found something he believes in.
301
00:24:20,334 --> 00:24:22,460
Well, they're all talented.
302
00:24:23,212 --> 00:24:26,422
You found your gem, as Sue would say.
303
00:24:26,507 --> 00:24:31,344
I said that I would teach him after school,
but only if he felt like it.
304
00:24:31,428 --> 00:24:35,473
- It's our job, isn't it?
- Within specified hours and curriculum.
305
00:24:35,558 --> 00:24:39,310
Barbara, he came every day for two weeks.
306
00:24:40,271 --> 00:24:43,481
Yes, I was flattered, but more than that.
307
00:24:43,566 --> 00:24:47,068
I was excited to find someone
who wanted to learn.
308
00:24:47,153 --> 00:24:53,366
And he imagined this sort of helicopter
500 years ago. It does your brain in.
309
00:24:53,450 --> 00:24:56,786
But surely you must have
suspected his motives?
310
00:24:56,871 --> 00:25:01,708
I sensed he had a little crush on me,
but so what?
311
00:25:01,792 --> 00:25:03,877
It was innocent.
312
00:25:03,961 --> 00:25:07,213
That's so much better.
You've absolutely got that knuckle.
313
00:25:07,298 --> 00:25:09,382
Nailed it.
314
00:25:11,177 --> 00:25:15,430
- Do that again, Miss.
- Don't be silly. Off you go.
315
00:25:16,807 --> 00:25:21,394
- What are you having for tea, Miss?
- Probably buy something on the way home.
316
00:25:21,478 --> 00:25:23,563
- Are you a good cook?
- Not really.
317
00:25:23,647 --> 00:25:25,732
You suck?
318
00:25:29,361 --> 00:25:31,988
Go home, Steven.
319
00:25:42,291 --> 00:25:45,710
- That's when you should have stopped it.
- I did.
320
00:25:45,794 --> 00:25:47,962
I told him I wouldn't teach him any more.
321
00:25:48,047 --> 00:25:51,174
But he refused to accept it.
He just kept coming back.
322
00:25:53,469 --> 00:25:55,553
Miss!
323
00:25:57,389 --> 00:25:59,724
It began to feel like our secret,
324
00:25:59,808 --> 00:26:04,604
and secrets can be seductive.
325
00:26:15,324 --> 00:26:19,160
- D'you wanna come for a walk?
- Absolutely not.
326
00:26:19,787 --> 00:26:23,039
I'm going home to my family.
As should you.
327
00:26:23,123 --> 00:26:25,166
Miss!
328
00:26:28,337 --> 00:26:32,548
My dad's got the sack.
He's been taking it out on me.
329
00:26:32,633 --> 00:26:36,636
His father hit him.
He didn't tell his mum because she was ill.
330
00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:40,765
- Does your mother know?
- Kidney disease.
331
00:26:40,849 --> 00:26:44,769
- It's taking months for an operation.
- He was so vulnerable.
332
00:26:44,853 --> 00:26:47,647
If he does it again, you tell me.
333
00:26:47,898 --> 00:26:50,066
Thanks, Miss.
334
00:26:51,068 --> 00:26:53,111
You're beautiful, Miss.
335
00:26:53,195 --> 00:26:54,946
You don't know how beautiful you are.
336
00:27:02,204 --> 00:27:06,249
I hadn't been pursued
like this for years.
337
00:27:06,333 --> 00:27:11,212
I knew it was wrong and immoral
and completely ridiculous,
338
00:27:11,297 --> 00:27:14,007
but I don't know.
339
00:27:14,091 --> 00:27:16,634
I just allowed it to happen.
340
00:27:16,719 --> 00:27:18,761
The boy is 15!
341
00:27:21,307 --> 00:27:25,268
- But he's quite mature for his age.
- "But" is not a helpful word here.
342
00:27:26,854 --> 00:27:29,355
This is going to sound sick
343
00:27:30,774 --> 00:27:37,196
but something in me felt entitled.
You know, I've been good all my adult life.
344
00:27:37,281 --> 00:27:41,784
I've been a decent wife,
dutiful mother, coping with Ben.
345
00:27:42,536 --> 00:27:46,664
This voice inside me kept saying,
"Why shouldn't you be bad?
346
00:27:46,749 --> 00:27:50,960
"You know, why shouldn't you transgress?
You've earned the right."
347
00:27:51,045 --> 00:27:52,545
I said get out, Denzel.
348
00:27:52,629 --> 00:27:57,050
The rest of you get on
with your work, please.
349
00:27:57,134 --> 00:27:59,427
Hurry up.
350
00:28:26,622 --> 00:28:29,874
Sue phoned. OK if I meet her for a drink?
351
00:28:30,751 --> 00:28:33,669
Sure. I'll put bug-a-lugs to bed.
352
00:28:48,227 --> 00:28:50,311
Evening, Miss.
353
00:29:21,343 --> 00:29:23,636
Make yourself comfortable.
354
00:29:23,720 --> 00:29:27,807
It's incredibly important
we keep this secret.
355
00:29:30,853 --> 00:29:33,980
- Does anyone know you're here?
- No.
356
00:29:38,485 --> 00:29:40,486
Miss.
357
00:29:40,571 --> 00:29:43,531
I'm no genius, but I ain't a dickhead.
358
00:29:44,283 --> 00:29:46,200
I won't tell no one.
359
00:29:46,535 --> 00:29:48,786
You can trust me.
360
00:29:51,582 --> 00:29:54,792
We'd both get into terrible trouble.
361
00:30:19,193 --> 00:30:22,487
It was easy, like having another drink
362
00:30:22,571 --> 00:30:25,448
when you know you shouldn't.
363
00:30:28,577 --> 00:30:30,828
Can I smoke, Miss?
364
00:30:31,079 --> 00:30:35,416
You can do what you want,
but enough of this "Miss".
365
00:30:45,344 --> 00:30:47,762
Were you a model once?
366
00:30:49,348 --> 00:30:52,475
Well, you should have been.
You're well fit.
367
00:30:52,893 --> 00:30:55,019
Gosh, but don't I know it.
368
00:30:55,229 --> 00:30:57,522
You're into The Streets?
369
00:30:58,106 --> 00:31:00,358
Well, my daughter is.
370
00:31:01,485 --> 00:31:04,278
Is she the same age as me?
371
00:31:04,488 --> 00:31:06,656
None of your beeswax.
372
00:31:11,453 --> 00:31:14,789
Well, anyway, the point is you're fit.
373
00:31:17,292 --> 00:31:19,544
Well, so are you.
374
00:31:19,795 --> 00:31:25,174
You reckon? My sister thinks
I look like a bollock with measles.
375
00:31:27,010 --> 00:31:29,470
You've done my brain in.
376
00:31:59,668 --> 00:32:02,628
You wanna do it again?
377
00:32:04,172 --> 00:32:06,007
What?
378
00:32:08,218 --> 00:32:10,177
Yes.
379
00:32:10,929 --> 00:32:19,020
I wanna do it again.
380
00:32:20,689 --> 00:32:22,940
The day we met,
381
00:32:23,775 --> 00:32:25,318
it had already begun?
382
00:32:27,362 --> 00:32:28,904
Yes.
383
00:32:28,989 --> 00:32:31,490
Deputy head in the morning.
384
00:32:31,575 --> 00:32:35,745
Noble sentiment, Connolly.
Next time, words, not fists.
385
00:32:35,829 --> 00:32:37,955
Get inside, both of you.
386
00:32:38,040 --> 00:32:44,503
- And you had further relations that day?
- We went to the art room.
387
00:32:44,588 --> 00:32:48,215
Well, I'm glad I was such an aphrodisiac.
I was trying to help you.
388
00:32:48,300 --> 00:32:51,344
You did. I'm incredibly grateful.
389
00:32:51,428 --> 00:32:54,221
You've been such a good friend.
390
00:32:55,724 --> 00:32:58,184
Not reciprocated, it seems.
391
00:33:01,938 --> 00:33:05,066
I desperately wanted to confess to you.
392
00:33:06,068 --> 00:33:07,902
But how could I?
393
00:33:08,779 --> 00:33:10,279
Barbara?
394
00:33:10,572 --> 00:33:14,075
It would have put you
in an impossible situation.
395
00:33:16,328 --> 00:33:18,704
I so wish I had.
396
00:33:18,914 --> 00:33:21,707
You would have made me see sense.
397
00:33:22,042 --> 00:33:25,586
And then I realised
my fury had blinded me.
398
00:33:26,421 --> 00:33:29,924
There was a magnificent opportunity here.
399
00:33:30,258 --> 00:33:33,344
Can we go inside? I'm absolutely freezing.
400
00:33:36,431 --> 00:33:41,018
With stealth,
I might secure the prize long term,
401
00:33:41,103 --> 00:33:44,230
forever in my debt.
402
00:33:44,690 --> 00:33:47,942
I could gain everything
403
00:33:48,318 --> 00:33:50,403
by doing nothing.
404
00:33:52,864 --> 00:33:54,949
Look...
405
00:33:56,535 --> 00:34:01,414
I know you have to tell them.
You know, the head, the school.
406
00:34:01,790 --> 00:34:05,042
All I ask is that you wait till the New Year.
407
00:34:06,169 --> 00:34:10,423
I'm begging you. Please let me have
this Christmas with my family.
408
00:34:10,632 --> 00:34:13,926
Oh, you poor thing.
409
00:34:14,970 --> 00:34:17,138
You've got yourself into a state?
410
00:34:18,598 --> 00:34:20,558
I'm not going to report you.
411
00:34:21,435 --> 00:34:25,479
I want to help you,
to support you through this.
412
00:34:30,360 --> 00:34:33,070
You're not going to tell?
413
00:34:35,365 --> 00:34:37,825
- You won't tell anyone?
- Who would it benefit?
414
00:34:37,993 --> 00:34:41,412
Not you or the boy,
and certainly not the school.
415
00:34:42,038 --> 00:34:44,290
No, this is a private matter,
416
00:34:45,125 --> 00:34:48,043
and we must keep it so.
417
00:34:49,337 --> 00:34:50,921
Yes.
418
00:34:56,386 --> 00:34:58,512
- Maybe I should resign.
- Oh, no.
419
00:34:58,597 --> 00:35:00,681
No, that might alert suspicion.
420
00:35:00,766 --> 00:35:06,061
No, you must stay at the school,
but the affair must end.
421
00:35:06,313 --> 00:35:08,647
Your solemn promise.
422
00:35:10,859 --> 00:35:13,319
I can't help you if you don't promise.
423
00:35:14,446 --> 00:35:16,447
I promise.
424
00:35:19,367 --> 00:35:22,328
So you'll tell him straight after Christmas?
425
00:35:22,412 --> 00:35:25,080
- It's all for the best.
- I know.
426
00:35:25,165 --> 00:35:29,251
Thank you so much.
You've been so brilliant.
427
00:35:29,336 --> 00:35:32,087
And you'll tell me when it's done?
428
00:35:36,593 --> 00:35:39,136
Oh! You never said.
429
00:35:39,429 --> 00:35:42,181
Standard issue for spinsters.
430
00:35:42,849 --> 00:35:45,476
She's been off her food.
I'm worried about her.
431
00:35:45,560 --> 00:35:49,230
There's a terrific vet up the road.
He was great with Ben's rabbit.
432
00:35:49,689 --> 00:35:55,236
- Got many people coming tomorrow?
- My lot, Richard's lot, including first wife.
433
00:35:55,487 --> 00:35:57,822
Oh. And your mother?
434
00:35:58,240 --> 00:36:00,157
Oh, yes.
435
00:36:00,242 --> 00:36:02,993
- Well, happy Christmas.
- Yeah. You, too.
436
00:36:03,078 --> 00:36:05,621
Thank you so much.
437
00:36:05,789 --> 00:36:07,414
Courage, mon brave.
438
00:36:07,582 --> 00:36:12,044
And bon voyage to her little leprechaun.
439
00:36:14,422 --> 00:36:18,509
Sheba and I share
a deep understanding now.
440
00:36:20,679 --> 00:36:22,930
No one can violate
441
00:36:23,014 --> 00:36:25,599
our magnificent complicity.
442
00:36:25,767 --> 00:36:28,686
No! Wait till tomorrow! Stop.
443
00:36:30,480 --> 00:36:32,606
You've been gone ages.
444
00:36:32,816 --> 00:36:34,108
Oh.
445
00:36:34,317 --> 00:36:37,152
Barbara was a little... Some school thing.
446
00:36:37,445 --> 00:36:40,281
- How's his nibs?
- Oh, still awake.
447
00:36:40,615 --> 00:36:44,118
He's madly excited.
I said he could stay up for you.
448
00:36:44,578 --> 00:36:45,744
And Polly?
449
00:36:46,913 --> 00:36:48,622
- Depressed.
- Oh.
450
00:36:48,790 --> 00:36:50,583
Pete phoned.
451
00:36:50,876 --> 00:36:52,710
They had a row
452
00:36:53,044 --> 00:36:55,379
and he's not coming tomorrow.
453
00:36:56,381 --> 00:37:01,594
- D'you think he's bad news?
- Well, these older men can be very dodgy.
454
00:37:19,029 --> 00:37:21,322
Did Daddy tell you?
455
00:37:24,409 --> 00:37:28,245
He's gonna bin me, I know it.
456
00:37:28,330 --> 00:37:30,414
You're very lovely, darling.
457
00:37:30,498 --> 00:37:33,584
He's clever enough to appreciate it.
458
00:37:33,668 --> 00:37:36,128
I'm fat as fuck, Mum.
459
00:37:38,256 --> 00:37:40,716
He'll be back.
460
00:37:41,009 --> 00:37:43,010
I can't live without him.
461
00:37:43,303 --> 00:37:45,387
Oh...
462
00:37:47,557 --> 00:37:51,769
Her fetish for the boy
was simply her snobbery manifested.
463
00:37:51,853 --> 00:37:54,188
He's working class and he likes art,
464
00:37:54,272 --> 00:37:57,441
as if he were a monkey
who just strolled out of a rainforest
465
00:37:57,525 --> 00:38:00,986
and asked for a gin and tonic.
466
00:38:05,700 --> 00:38:09,286
Have you heard from
that friend of yours, Barbara?
467
00:38:09,371 --> 00:38:12,665
Bar? Wakey-wakey.
468
00:38:12,749 --> 00:38:16,585
Lorraine was asking if you'd heard
from that nice friend of yours.
469
00:38:16,670 --> 00:38:18,754
- Who?
- Jennifer Dodd.
470
00:38:20,340 --> 00:38:21,590
Oh.
471
00:38:21,675 --> 00:38:24,426
She left the school.
472
00:38:24,511 --> 00:38:27,137
She's teaching in a primary at Stoke.
473
00:38:27,889 --> 00:38:32,476
There's a chap, apparently.
I heard they're engaged.
474
00:38:36,189 --> 00:38:38,315
But it's true, it would be insane,
wouldn't it?
475
00:38:38,400 --> 00:38:41,402
It's the most ridiculous time for him to sell.
476
00:38:41,486 --> 00:38:43,988
Well, that's what I said.
477
00:38:44,239 --> 00:38:46,198
I know. He should give me a ring.
478
00:38:46,282 --> 00:38:49,076
It's absolute madness for him.
I'm happy to...
479
00:38:49,160 --> 00:38:51,120
There you are, darling.
480
00:38:51,204 --> 00:38:54,957
...Victorian parent or something.
I'm nothing of the kind!
481
00:38:55,041 --> 00:38:58,293
Darling, can we have gravy?
There's no gravy. Sorry.
482
00:38:58,378 --> 00:39:00,963
Why can't we just have...
483
00:39:27,282 --> 00:39:30,117
God knows.
But this is what she's like.
484
00:39:30,201 --> 00:39:34,580
Ever since Ronald died,
she's drifted inexorably.
485
00:39:34,664 --> 00:39:39,501
You see, her father was
an exceptional man. Exceptional.
486
00:39:39,919 --> 00:39:42,046
Bathsheba's a loner, I'm afraid.
487
00:39:42,130 --> 00:39:45,841
She's beautiful, thank God,
and it's got her through,
488
00:39:45,925 --> 00:39:49,928
but it's not quite the same
as possessing substance.
489
00:39:58,271 --> 00:39:59,438
Happy Christmas.
490
00:39:59,522 --> 00:40:02,191
What are you doing here?
Everyone's inside.
491
00:40:02,442 --> 00:40:05,027
Aren't you gonna open it?
492
00:40:09,991 --> 00:40:13,118
It's made of real fake gold.
493
00:40:16,498 --> 00:40:19,083
- Thank you.
- What's up?
494
00:40:19,501 --> 00:40:21,585
I haven't heard from you.
495
00:40:25,632 --> 00:40:27,841
I can't see you any more.
496
00:40:28,718 --> 00:40:30,677
I'm sorry. I...
497
00:40:31,846 --> 00:40:33,764
I just can't. It's over.
498
00:40:35,058 --> 00:40:38,018
- Why?
- Bash?
499
00:40:38,103 --> 00:40:39,394
Bash!
500
00:40:40,063 --> 00:40:41,814
She's not here.
501
00:40:46,319 --> 00:40:48,529
Was that your dad?
502
00:40:50,532 --> 00:40:51,865
No.
503
00:40:51,950 --> 00:40:54,034
He's an uncle.
504
00:40:56,788 --> 00:41:00,833
- Do you wanna end it?
- Please don't look at me like that.
505
00:41:00,917 --> 00:41:03,377
- Have you gone off me?
- No.
506
00:41:04,671 --> 00:41:08,132
You should go. Please, don't make...
507
00:41:08,967 --> 00:41:10,759
Just go.
508
00:41:31,197 --> 00:41:33,490
She gave me what?
509
00:41:33,575 --> 00:41:37,035
- What colour are they?
- Is it Pete?
510
00:42:01,811 --> 00:42:05,480
I long to phone S, but it's late.
511
00:42:06,858 --> 00:42:11,028
Poor girl, all alone with her awful family.
512
00:42:12,071 --> 00:42:16,200
Our lives are acutely similar
in so many respects.
513
00:42:16,409 --> 00:42:19,077
Sis?
514
00:42:21,873 --> 00:42:23,832
Oh.
515
00:42:23,917 --> 00:42:27,711
Writing the old diary?
I can't imagine how you keep at it.
516
00:42:27,795 --> 00:42:30,088
I'd have nothing to say.
517
00:42:31,841 --> 00:42:33,842
Aw.
518
00:42:35,261 --> 00:42:37,596
Hello.
519
00:42:37,805 --> 00:42:42,434
You know you're welcome
whenever you want, not just once a year.
520
00:42:43,728 --> 00:42:47,105
It's just that I'm rather busy
at the moment.
521
00:42:47,273 --> 00:42:49,983
Your racy London life.
522
00:42:50,151 --> 00:42:52,444
I'm glad it's so full.
523
00:42:56,282 --> 00:43:00,035
I'm sorry about Jennifer. She was lovely.
524
00:43:02,330 --> 00:43:06,583
Is there anyone else?
Someone else who's special?
525
00:43:07,669 --> 00:43:09,836
I don't know what you mean.
526
00:43:10,171 --> 00:43:12,589
I... I didn't mean to pry.
527
00:43:33,486 --> 00:43:34,820
Belated Christmas present.
528
00:43:35,613 --> 00:43:37,531
Oh, thank you.
529
00:43:40,451 --> 00:43:42,327
Oh, my word.
530
00:43:42,996 --> 00:43:44,788
Asprey.
531
00:43:58,553 --> 00:44:01,221
How is she?
532
00:44:03,224 --> 00:44:05,726
You are the most wonderful friend.
533
00:44:22,285 --> 00:44:24,703
Any good?
534
00:44:26,497 --> 00:44:28,582
It's a masterpiece.
535
00:44:30,043 --> 00:44:32,794
Don't they teach you anything?
536
00:44:46,392 --> 00:44:48,643
We used to worship her.
537
00:44:57,987 --> 00:45:00,447
- Take it off.
- What's it for?
538
00:45:00,698 --> 00:45:03,950
Just take it off, please. I'm still making it.
539
00:45:04,035 --> 00:45:06,119
Yeah, but why?
540
00:45:07,372 --> 00:45:10,290
- It's for my son.
- But he's 12, isn't he?
541
00:45:10,375 --> 00:45:13,418
He's got Down's syndrome.
542
00:45:17,423 --> 00:45:19,466
You never said.
543
00:45:21,928 --> 00:45:23,637
Right.
544
00:45:25,223 --> 00:45:27,307
Sorry.
545
00:45:39,821 --> 00:45:41,613
Oh...
546
00:45:41,823 --> 00:45:43,865
Oh.
547
00:45:44,575 --> 00:45:48,328
- I'm sure she's had a very happy life.
- Well, yes.
548
00:45:48,413 --> 00:45:51,373
She has. Thank you.
549
00:45:51,457 --> 00:45:54,418
We can make her more comfortable
for the next few weeks,
550
00:45:54,502 --> 00:45:57,671
but it will be weeks rather than months.
551
00:45:58,798 --> 00:46:01,383
You've had a terrible shock.
552
00:46:03,344 --> 00:46:06,138
Where's Richard?
I don't want to disturb you.
553
00:46:06,347 --> 00:46:09,808
It's fine. Everyone's out.
554
00:46:13,479 --> 00:46:15,856
Can they treat her?
555
00:46:16,232 --> 00:46:19,276
He says it's just a matter of weeks.
556
00:46:21,195 --> 00:46:23,447
- She's only a pet.
- Oh, no.
557
00:46:23,531 --> 00:46:26,408
I cried for weeks
when our dog died. Weeks.
558
00:46:26,492 --> 00:46:28,869
One does get so attached.
559
00:46:40,214 --> 00:46:42,549
I should leave you in peace.
560
00:46:44,427 --> 00:46:46,511
Yeah.
561
00:46:56,481 --> 00:46:59,566
- I like that top. It suits you.
- Oh. Thanks.
562
00:47:04,238 --> 00:47:06,907
When I was at school
563
00:47:07,241 --> 00:47:12,078
if one of us had had some bad news
or was a bit down,
564
00:47:12,914 --> 00:47:14,915
we used to stroke each other.
565
00:47:15,249 --> 00:47:20,420
You know, someone would do one arm
and someone else the other.
566
00:47:22,048 --> 00:47:24,257
It was a wonderful sensation.
567
00:47:24,425 --> 00:47:26,384
Did you do that at your school?
568
00:47:27,470 --> 00:47:29,095
No.
569
00:47:29,347 --> 00:47:32,015
It's incredibly relaxing
570
00:47:33,434 --> 00:47:36,228
for the giver and the receiver.
571
00:47:43,110 --> 00:47:45,570
- Close your eyes. No, no, really.
- Oh...
572
00:47:45,655 --> 00:47:48,156
It doesn't work if you don't.
573
00:48:26,404 --> 00:48:28,989
- There's a good girl.
- That's enough.
574
00:48:29,115 --> 00:48:33,493
- No, close your eyes.
- Look, I really think that's enough, Barbara.
575
00:48:41,919 --> 00:48:44,963
There's someone in your garden!
He came over the wall.
576
00:48:45,047 --> 00:48:48,174
It's probably the neighbour's boy,
lost his football.
577
00:48:48,259 --> 00:48:52,387
- No, he's going into the summer house!
- It's just a kid from next door. Forget it.
578
00:49:01,522 --> 00:49:06,318
Where are you? I've been dreaming
about your hot, sweet cunt all morning.
579
00:49:06,902 --> 00:49:08,612
Hello?
580
00:49:10,448 --> 00:49:13,575
- Hello?
- Richard's on his way home.
581
00:49:13,659 --> 00:49:18,913
No, I can't. No, I can't. I'll call you.
Barbara! Barbara, I'm sorry! I'm sorry!
582
00:49:19,749 --> 00:49:22,542
I'm so sorry. Bar.
583
00:49:22,627 --> 00:49:25,128
I tried to end it, honestly. I just couldn't.
584
00:49:25,212 --> 00:49:28,798
I risked everything for you,
and in return you humiliate me.
585
00:49:28,883 --> 00:49:33,470
I didn't mean to upset you. I need your help
more than ever. Please don't go like this.
586
00:49:33,554 --> 00:49:36,598
- You promised to end it. Why didn't you?
- Because I...
587
00:49:36,682 --> 00:49:38,475
What? You're in love?
588
00:49:38,559 --> 00:49:42,979
And the child, do you imagine
he reciprocates your soppy feelings?
589
00:49:43,230 --> 00:49:47,525
I dare say he's fascinated by the neurotic
compulsions of a middle-class lady
590
00:49:47,610 --> 00:49:49,819
- with marital problems.
- Bar...
591
00:49:49,904 --> 00:49:52,072
There's nothing crueller than boys.
592
00:49:52,156 --> 00:49:55,283
Once he's had his fill
he'll discard you like an old rag.
593
00:49:55,368 --> 00:49:56,618
You're not young!
594
00:49:58,996 --> 00:50:01,665
I say this to help you. End it now.
595
00:50:03,751 --> 00:50:06,169
- Yeah. I'm thinking.
- Don't think. Do.
596
00:50:06,253 --> 00:50:10,215
Do, do, do, do! Or shall I sit here
doing my nails till your husband returns?
597
00:50:10,424 --> 00:50:14,052
- No, no, no! Please. I'll do it.
- Well, what are you waiting for?
598
00:50:36,701 --> 00:50:38,827
Mr. Connolly.
599
00:50:38,911 --> 00:50:42,914
I'm Mrs. Hart from St George's.
Steven's not in trouble.
600
00:50:42,998 --> 00:50:47,377
- I need to talk to him about an art project...
- Oh, yeah. Come in. Come in.
601
00:50:47,461 --> 00:50:51,005
- Thank you.
- It's just upstairs there.
602
00:50:54,343 --> 00:50:58,304
It's good of you to give him extra lessons.
It's the first on your left.
603
00:50:58,389 --> 00:51:01,599
It's probably best to knock.
604
00:51:09,275 --> 00:51:14,446
- So that's your vicious father?
- You wanted a sob story, I gave it to you.
605
00:51:14,530 --> 00:51:16,865
- You lied to me.
- Oh, sorry, Miss!
606
00:51:17,116 --> 00:51:19,159
You prefer it if I live in a shithole?
607
00:51:19,243 --> 00:51:21,369
And your mother?
608
00:51:21,454 --> 00:51:23,663
I think she's gonna pull through.
609
00:51:23,748 --> 00:51:26,833
What do you want?
What are you doing here?
610
00:51:30,212 --> 00:51:31,921
They're gonna expel me now!
611
00:51:32,089 --> 00:51:35,383
No, they won't.
I'll get the blame if she tells.
612
00:51:35,843 --> 00:51:37,677
As if she won't!
613
00:51:38,012 --> 00:51:40,180
She likes me. She might not.
614
00:51:40,431 --> 00:51:43,850
Likes you how? Like that?
You giving her one and all?
615
00:51:44,059 --> 00:51:46,227
Why are you being so cruel?
616
00:51:46,562 --> 00:51:48,772
Why, Steven?
617
00:51:49,982 --> 00:51:52,942
I really like you. You're a nice person
618
00:51:53,027 --> 00:51:55,820
and you've been cool
and it's been great, OK?
619
00:51:55,905 --> 00:52:00,158
But it was supposed to be fun,
and now it's a serious thing.
620
00:52:02,411 --> 00:52:08,374
Whatever shit you're working out,
you know, your husband, your kid, you...
621
00:52:10,044 --> 00:52:12,295
I don't know.
622
00:52:12,379 --> 00:52:14,672
I can't help you.
623
00:53:06,183 --> 00:53:11,271
As my mother would have said,
the boy done her like a kipper.
624
00:53:13,232 --> 00:53:17,068
She has nowhere to turn but trusty old Bar.
625
00:53:24,618 --> 00:53:28,830
She mopes and mourns
for her pubescent paramour
626
00:53:31,125 --> 00:53:35,461
but she knows my interventions
have saved her life
627
00:53:36,797 --> 00:53:39,549
and she is sweetly grateful.
628
00:53:40,551 --> 00:53:44,846
Her betrayal hurt me
more than I dare show,
629
00:53:44,930 --> 00:53:46,973
but I will forgive her
630
00:53:47,224 --> 00:53:48,975
and heal myself in private.
631
00:53:50,519 --> 00:53:52,896
She's worth it, this one.
632
00:53:53,522 --> 00:53:55,815
She's the one I've waited for.
633
00:53:59,820 --> 00:54:03,489
She's beginning to understand
that her dalliance with Master Connolly
634
00:54:03,574 --> 00:54:06,409
was a consequence of her dead marriage.
635
00:54:06,493 --> 00:54:11,748
It's a sham fuelled only
by the memory of former glories.
636
00:54:14,001 --> 00:54:16,961
Whereas we are going through the fire,
637
00:54:17,046 --> 00:54:21,883
forging our friendship
with a stronger bond each day.
638
00:54:23,427 --> 00:54:26,971
In fact, we are now entering
639
00:54:27,097 --> 00:54:29,974
a delicate new phase.
640
00:54:30,935 --> 00:54:34,187
We are silently and stealthily
641
00:54:34,355 --> 00:54:38,858
negotiating the terms
of a life lived together.
642
00:54:40,027 --> 00:54:42,487
Now more than ever,
643
00:54:42,571 --> 00:54:45,865
we are bound by the secrets we share.
644
00:54:48,035 --> 00:54:54,540
I'm invited to drop in on them this summer
at their house in the Dordogne.
645
00:54:56,168 --> 00:54:58,419
I might just do that.
646
00:55:05,469 --> 00:55:09,055
I once sat here discussing Elgar
for three hours.
647
00:55:09,139 --> 00:55:12,266
- God, who with?
- Oh, just a friend.
648
00:55:12,351 --> 00:55:15,979
Jennifer. This was our haunt.
649
00:55:19,608 --> 00:55:23,486
We were quite chummy for a while,
but poor thing,
650
00:55:23,570 --> 00:55:27,824
- she suffered from a terrible depression.
- Oh.
651
00:55:27,908 --> 00:55:31,786
I tried to help, but she rather unravelled.
652
00:55:31,870 --> 00:55:34,622
She became alarmingly deluded.
653
00:55:34,707 --> 00:55:37,291
Did she go to hospital?
654
00:55:37,376 --> 00:55:38,918
No.
655
00:55:39,003 --> 00:55:41,087
No, she got a job in Stoke.
656
00:55:42,256 --> 00:55:44,340
- When was this?
- Last summer.
657
00:55:44,425 --> 00:55:49,846
- But I feel I should have done more.
- I'm sure she knows you did your best.
658
00:55:49,930 --> 00:55:52,015
Such a sensitive person.
659
00:55:52,683 --> 00:55:55,059
One conceals it, of course.
660
00:56:00,482 --> 00:56:06,529
People languish for years with partners
who are clearly from another planet.
661
00:56:06,613 --> 00:56:11,451
We want so much to believe
that we've found our other.
662
00:56:12,661 --> 00:56:18,624
It takes courage to recognise the real
as opposed to the convenient.
663
00:56:20,544 --> 00:56:25,048
When I was young
I had such a vision of myself.
664
00:56:25,132 --> 00:56:31,137
I dreamed I'd be someone to be reckoned
with, you know, in the world.
665
00:56:31,221 --> 00:56:33,639
But one learns one's scale.
666
00:56:38,437 --> 00:56:41,773
I've such a dread of ending my days alone.
667
00:56:41,857 --> 00:56:44,442
Yes. I... We all do.
668
00:56:44,526 --> 00:56:49,363
But recently I've allowed myself to think
that I may not be.
669
00:56:53,994 --> 00:56:56,287
Am I wrong?
670
00:56:59,291 --> 00:57:01,709
No.
671
00:57:14,973 --> 00:57:17,308
Do you want to stay?
672
00:57:17,392 --> 00:57:22,605
Sometimes people find it comforting
to see them at peace.
673
00:57:22,689 --> 00:57:27,527
Would you like to come back
in 20 minutes to say goodbye?
674
00:57:35,786 --> 00:57:39,455
- Have you got your seat belt on?
- Oh, no. What the fuck?
675
00:57:39,540 --> 00:57:42,917
- Oh, God, not her!
- Shut up. I won't be a minute.
676
00:57:43,001 --> 00:57:48,548
- Mum, don't get out of the car!
- Is it Portia? Oh, no.
677
00:57:49,716 --> 00:57:52,677
I've got to go back
to the vet's after it's done.
678
00:57:52,761 --> 00:57:55,179
Will you come with me? I can't on my own.
679
00:57:55,389 --> 00:57:59,892
Of course I would. It's just that
Ben's doing his play at his school...
680
00:57:59,977 --> 00:58:02,812
- Play?
- We're all going. We're late, actually.
681
00:58:02,896 --> 00:58:06,190
- Someone has died!
- I... I know.
682
00:58:07,067 --> 00:58:10,736
- And it's terribly sad.
- You owe me this!
683
00:58:10,821 --> 00:58:13,865
Ben, can't you make her vanish?
Use your wand.
684
00:58:13,949 --> 00:58:17,368
He's doing a show for
the first time in his life.
685
00:58:17,452 --> 00:58:20,079
That's your choice, is it?
686
00:58:21,081 --> 00:58:22,790
Why don't you come?
687
00:58:23,167 --> 00:58:25,334
I thought you understood
what friendship means.
688
00:58:26,086 --> 00:58:28,462
He's my child. He's my son.
689
00:58:29,423 --> 00:58:32,675
- He's just a little boy.
- Don't play the good mother with me.
690
00:58:32,926 --> 00:58:36,179
Could you tell me what's going on?
Is this some kind of coven?
691
00:58:36,263 --> 00:58:37,680
I can explain perfectly.
692
00:58:37,764 --> 00:58:39,974
Barbara's had some bad news
about her cat.
693
00:58:40,225 --> 00:58:43,686
My condolences. Poor pussy.
Now, can I have my wife back, please?
694
00:58:43,770 --> 00:58:46,189
- I don't like your tone.
- Why is she here?
695
00:58:46,273 --> 00:58:49,233
What kind of fucking spell
has she cast on you?
696
00:58:49,318 --> 00:58:53,821
- Ben is getting stressed. He's gonna blow!
- Oh, for God's sake. Get in the car!
697
00:58:53,906 --> 00:58:56,949
Give me a minute, will you?
I can handle this.
698
00:58:57,034 --> 00:58:59,368
I'm to be handled, am I? Like toxic waste?
699
00:58:59,453 --> 00:59:03,873
You see me on sufferance.
I'm an imposition to be tolerated.
700
00:59:03,957 --> 00:59:08,419
No, of course not. I love our time together.
I'm your good, good friend.
701
00:59:08,503 --> 00:59:10,087
Then stay with me.
702
00:59:10,172 --> 00:59:15,092
I would if I could. I'm desperately sorry
about Portia, but you can see, I have to go.
703
00:59:15,177 --> 00:59:19,055
Think very carefully, madam.
Be aware of the consequences.
704
00:59:19,139 --> 00:59:22,350
- Don't make this mean any more than it is.
- Stay with me.
705
00:59:24,019 --> 00:59:26,437
- I don't know what I'll do.
- Let's go!
706
00:59:26,521 --> 00:59:30,066
- Look, I'll call you, I promise.
- Come on!
707
00:59:34,780 --> 00:59:37,031
They always let you down in the end.
708
00:59:37,699 --> 00:59:40,284
Jennifer said I was too intense.
709
00:59:40,369 --> 00:59:42,495
Meaning what, exactly?
710
00:59:42,579 --> 00:59:46,249
That I am loyal in my friendships?
711
00:59:46,333 --> 00:59:49,669
That I will go to the ends of the earth
for someone I admire?
712
00:59:49,920 --> 00:59:52,171
Shazam!
713
01:00:17,197 --> 01:00:19,907
Not disturbing you, am I?
714
01:00:21,994 --> 01:00:24,370
It's just...
715
01:00:24,871 --> 01:00:26,998
I need to talk to you about Mrs. Hart.
716
01:00:29,042 --> 01:00:31,794
- Sheba.
- Ah.
717
01:00:32,504 --> 01:00:34,547
It's a bit delicate.
718
01:00:34,923 --> 01:00:36,048
Can I come in?
719
01:00:49,604 --> 01:00:52,064
- Tea?
- Oh, lovely, thanks.
720
01:00:56,445 --> 01:00:59,071
You haven't got a biscuit?
721
01:01:05,329 --> 01:01:07,413
Cheers.
722
01:01:10,083 --> 01:01:13,669
- Would you like me to take your hat?
- Ah. Been up the Lane.
723
01:01:13,754 --> 01:01:16,130
White Hart Lane,
home of the mighty Spurs.
724
01:01:16,214 --> 01:01:19,592
- Were you victorious?
- Three-nil. Jermain Defoe. Get in there!
725
01:01:22,596 --> 01:01:26,265
My father was a supporter
of Charlton Athletic.
726
01:01:27,392 --> 01:01:29,894
Never seemed to give him any pleasure.
727
01:01:30,270 --> 01:01:31,771
Where's the moggy?
728
01:01:32,647 --> 01:01:34,065
She's dead.
729
01:01:35,567 --> 01:01:37,610
Oh, dear.
730
01:01:38,278 --> 01:01:41,530
Oh, my condolences. Aw.
731
01:01:44,368 --> 01:01:46,619
Oh, is this not a good time?
732
01:01:47,037 --> 01:01:49,163
It's a very good time.
733
01:02:01,468 --> 01:02:03,844
- Mrs. Hart.
- Yeah.
734
01:02:04,763 --> 01:02:06,764
It's just...
735
01:02:06,973 --> 01:02:10,101
Anything you tell me
will be in strictest confidence.
736
01:02:12,104 --> 01:02:16,065
Well, the thing is,
I was wondering if she's
737
01:02:17,818 --> 01:02:20,277
ever mentioned me.
738
01:02:21,696 --> 01:02:23,781
Does she ever mention me?
739
01:02:25,075 --> 01:02:28,494
Let me think. No, never.
740
01:02:29,371 --> 01:02:30,955
Actually, yes.
741
01:02:31,456 --> 01:02:34,708
She mentioned you had invested
in a new shirt last term.
742
01:02:34,918 --> 01:02:37,336
Splashed out at Nicole Farhi.
743
01:02:39,005 --> 01:02:44,468
Thing is, over the last few months...
Well, ever since I met her, really, I've...
744
01:02:45,762 --> 01:02:48,431
Brian, are you in love?
745
01:02:49,975 --> 01:02:54,186
- I've been a bit bloody obvious, haven't I?
- You've been utterly clandestine.
746
01:02:55,897 --> 01:02:58,858
- So she mentioned the shirt?
- You do know she's married?
747
01:02:58,984 --> 01:03:02,361
Yeah, but she's quite flirty,
and you never know with people, do you?
748
01:03:02,487 --> 01:03:05,739
- Indeed you don't.
- But...
749
01:03:06,032 --> 01:03:09,702
I wouldn't wanna make a move
if I'm just gonna get knocked back.
750
01:03:09,995 --> 01:03:14,498
What with staff politics and the head being
such a stickler, you have to be careful.
751
01:03:14,708 --> 01:03:16,250
It's a minefield.
752
01:03:16,626 --> 01:03:18,711
So would...
753
01:03:19,880 --> 01:03:23,632
I mean, do you think
you could have a word with her
754
01:03:23,884 --> 01:03:27,344
and just suss the lie of the land?
755
01:03:29,181 --> 01:03:35,436
You'd like me to ask Mrs. Hart if she's
inclined to commit adultery with you?
756
01:03:38,523 --> 01:03:43,611
I don't want you to suffer more
than is necessary. No one should.
757
01:03:43,695 --> 01:03:49,742
I couldn't possibly speak for Mrs. Hart,
but instinct tells me
758
01:03:49,826 --> 01:03:51,619
you might not be her type.
759
01:03:53,413 --> 01:03:56,165
She's got a type, then?
760
01:03:56,249 --> 01:03:59,752
Oh, it's no reflection
on your attractiveness.
761
01:04:00,545 --> 01:04:06,383
But my impression is that her preference
is for the younger man.
762
01:04:08,803 --> 01:04:11,555
Surprisingly young.
763
01:04:12,057 --> 01:04:13,599
Boys, I'm told.
764
01:04:15,143 --> 01:04:18,187
Naturally, she doesn't discuss
any of this with me.
765
01:04:18,563 --> 01:04:21,941
But I've been hearing some rather
alarming rumours about one in particular.
766
01:04:23,610 --> 01:04:27,071
Playground gossip,
staff room whispers and so on.
767
01:04:29,991 --> 01:04:32,952
You might know the boy in question.
768
01:04:36,331 --> 01:04:38,040
Steven Connolly.
769
01:04:39,584 --> 01:04:41,001
Year 10?
770
01:04:43,463 --> 01:04:46,048
I think the kettle's boiled.
771
01:04:47,133 --> 01:04:50,219
You say the words and it's done.
772
01:04:50,303 --> 01:04:52,346
Easy.
773
01:04:56,226 --> 01:04:59,228
Judas had the grace to hang himself,
774
01:04:59,312 --> 01:05:04,400
but only according to Matthew,
the most sentimental of the apostles.
775
01:05:06,403 --> 01:05:09,822
Is this the last night of her old life?
776
01:05:11,866 --> 01:05:15,953
I wonder how long my messenger will take.
777
01:05:16,830 --> 01:05:18,998
Thank you.
778
01:05:20,834 --> 01:05:24,670
People like Sheba think they know
what it is to be lonely,
779
01:05:24,754 --> 01:05:30,342
but of the drip, drip of long-haul,
no-end-in-sight solitude,
780
01:05:31,261 --> 01:05:33,596
they know nothing.
781
01:05:33,680 --> 01:05:39,435
What it's like to construct an entire
weekend around a visit to the launderette
782
01:05:39,519 --> 01:05:42,855
or to be so chronically untouched
783
01:05:43,398 --> 01:05:46,609
that the accidental brush
of a bus conductor's hand
784
01:05:46,693 --> 01:05:51,030
sends a jolt of longing
straight to your groin.
785
01:05:52,032 --> 01:05:53,949
Of this,
786
01:05:54,034 --> 01:05:58,704
Sheba and her like have no clue.
787
01:06:05,378 --> 01:06:09,465
Bar, I'm so sorry about today.
788
01:06:09,549 --> 01:06:12,593
It was an impossible situation.
789
01:06:12,677 --> 01:06:15,137
Richard's really sorry too.
790
01:06:15,221 --> 01:06:17,473
Poor you.
791
01:06:17,557 --> 01:06:19,642
But why not come for supper?
792
01:06:20,435 --> 01:06:23,187
Actually, I write quite quickly.
793
01:06:23,271 --> 01:06:26,357
It's the thinking that takes an eternity.
794
01:06:26,441 --> 01:06:31,111
But you're never satisfied. When
you're lecturing, you long for time to write,
795
01:06:31,363 --> 01:06:35,324
and when you've got it,
you yearn to be back with your students.
796
01:06:39,120 --> 01:06:42,498
- More coffee, anyone?
- I'll have a slug.
797
01:06:42,832 --> 01:06:44,416
Barbara?
798
01:06:47,087 --> 01:06:48,587
No, thank you.
799
01:07:07,607 --> 01:07:09,441
- Yes?
- Are you her husband?
800
01:07:09,526 --> 01:07:12,236
- What? Whose?
- Don't you dick with me, mister!
801
01:07:12,320 --> 01:07:14,405
Don't you dick me around! Where is she?
802
01:07:14,489 --> 01:07:17,574
Tell her Steven Connolly's mother
wants to see her now!
803
01:07:17,659 --> 01:07:20,411
- Excuse me!
- Maggie!
804
01:07:20,495 --> 01:07:23,580
- You slut! You fucking whore!
- Maggie!
805
01:07:24,124 --> 01:07:26,875
- How could you? How could you?
- Maggie! Maggie!
806
01:07:26,960 --> 01:07:31,505
- He's only a child! A wee boy! He's a child!
- What the hell is going on?
807
01:07:31,589 --> 01:07:34,633
You ask your wife what's going on!
Ask her!
808
01:07:34,718 --> 01:07:38,053
- You perverted bitch! Bitch!
- Maggie!
809
01:07:38,138 --> 01:07:42,474
Come on. Leave them alone!
Come on, Maggie. Leave them alone.
810
01:07:42,559 --> 01:07:47,730
- Bitch! You fucking...
- Leave them alone, Maggie.
811
01:07:47,814 --> 01:07:49,940
Come on. Leave them alone, eh?
812
01:07:50,024 --> 01:07:52,151
There's nothing for us here.
813
01:08:10,211 --> 01:08:12,963
It happened. It just happened.
814
01:08:13,047 --> 01:08:15,799
People make things happen.
815
01:08:15,884 --> 01:08:18,135
You think you're the only one
who's wanted someone young?
816
01:08:18,219 --> 01:08:21,138
Everyone sometimes,
everyone thinks about...
817
01:08:21,222 --> 01:08:23,766
But they deal with it!
818
01:08:24,309 --> 01:08:27,311
By the time I took my seat in the gods,
819
01:08:27,395 --> 01:08:30,522
the opera was well into its final act.
820
01:08:30,607 --> 01:08:33,025
- You're his teacher!
- And you were mine!
821
01:08:33,109 --> 01:08:35,986
I'm not justifying.
I'm not trying to justify it!
822
01:08:36,070 --> 01:08:37,821
You are so full of shit!
823
01:08:37,906 --> 01:08:40,908
It's totally different! You were 20.
824
01:08:41,326 --> 01:08:45,829
- He's 16 in May. He's not some innocent...
- Of course he's innocent!
825
01:08:45,914 --> 01:08:48,582
He's fucking 15!
826
01:08:48,666 --> 01:08:50,709
Are you insane?
827
01:08:50,794 --> 01:08:55,422
If you meant to destroy us, why not do it
with an adult? That's the convention.
828
01:08:55,507 --> 01:08:59,468
- It's worked for centuries.
- It wasn't about us. It...
829
01:08:59,552 --> 01:09:02,679
- Why?
- I just wanted him.
830
01:09:02,764 --> 01:09:05,432
- Why?
- I don't know!
831
01:09:05,683 --> 01:09:07,226
Well, find out!
832
01:09:26,996 --> 01:09:30,415
- Sheba? And... No!
- Yep. Connolly, yes. Yes, honestly.
833
01:09:36,756 --> 01:09:39,883
My guilt is tempered with relief.
834
01:09:40,426 --> 01:09:45,013
She assumes the boy cracked
and told his mother all.
835
01:09:45,515 --> 01:09:47,891
Who am I to disabuse her?
836
01:09:48,518 --> 01:09:50,644
Oh, Brian. Brian.
837
01:09:50,728 --> 01:09:51,770
Brian.
838
01:09:51,855 --> 01:09:54,022
Brian, do stop a minute, please.
839
01:09:54,107 --> 01:09:56,441
Today, St George's School
is a solemn place.
840
01:09:56,526 --> 01:09:59,194
A source close to the school has indicated
841
01:09:59,279 --> 01:10:02,614
another member of staff
may have known of the relationship.
842
01:10:02,699 --> 01:10:07,619
This, however, is categorically denied
by the local authority.
843
01:10:07,704 --> 01:10:12,165
Had I known anything,
I would have informed you immediately.
844
01:10:12,250 --> 01:10:13,834
My loyalty is to the school.
845
01:10:13,918 --> 01:10:16,587
- Brian thinks you've known for months.
- Brian!
846
01:10:16,671 --> 01:10:20,090
- Then there is Sue...
- Will you run through the entire staff?
847
01:10:20,174 --> 01:10:23,927
If you knew and turned a blind eye,
you have enabled a crime.
848
01:10:24,012 --> 01:10:27,389
- I didn't, so I haven't.
- You're due for retirement next year.
849
01:10:27,473 --> 01:10:30,726
I think it would benefit everyone
if you take it early.
850
01:10:30,810 --> 01:10:33,520
So it's a witch hunt.
Salem comes to Islington.
851
01:10:33,605 --> 01:10:36,940
The stress of the job,
radical new ideas not to your taste...
852
01:10:37,025 --> 01:10:40,944
I've a radical idea. Your school,
your disaster. Why don't you resign?
853
01:10:41,029 --> 01:10:44,990
Because I am not the confidante
of a criminal!
854
01:10:45,825 --> 01:10:48,535
Now, tell me about your friendship
with Mrs. Hart.
855
01:10:48,620 --> 01:10:52,748
I think you'll find a close friendship
between consenting adults is legal,
856
01:10:52,832 --> 01:10:54,917
even under your regime.
857
01:10:55,168 --> 01:11:00,005
My record is beyond reproach. The majority
of the staff regard me as a moral guardian.
858
01:11:00,089 --> 01:11:06,053
I've just spoken to an ex-member
of our staff, another of your "close" friends.
859
01:11:06,930 --> 01:11:08,764
Jennifer Dodd.
860
01:11:11,017 --> 01:11:16,229
As you are aware, Jennifer became unwell.
That's why she had to leave the school.
861
01:11:16,314 --> 01:11:19,149
Jennifer threatened you
with a restraining order.
862
01:11:19,233 --> 01:11:21,360
That's nonsense.
863
01:11:22,528 --> 01:11:28,992
A fax from her solicitor. She didn't want
you within 500 yards of her by law!
864
01:11:29,077 --> 01:11:30,786
You call that a friendship?
865
01:11:30,995 --> 01:11:35,040
She told me that you sent her
fiancรฉ a wreath!
866
01:11:38,211 --> 01:11:42,130
Now, we wouldn't want all this
to come out, would we?
867
01:11:42,215 --> 01:11:47,302
A lifetime of dedicated service
ending in shame and humiliation?
868
01:11:49,055 --> 01:11:51,682
It's your choice, Barbara.
869
01:12:58,666 --> 01:13:00,709
He knows it was me.
870
01:13:00,793 --> 01:13:03,754
Does she know, too?
871
01:13:03,838 --> 01:13:08,300
More than I can bear.
Is that why she's not returned my calls?
872
01:13:27,695 --> 01:13:31,031
Barbara, have you spoken
to Sheba Hart yet?
873
01:13:34,243 --> 01:13:40,499
- Why are you friends with a paedophile?
- Did you teach the boy at all?
874
01:13:40,583 --> 01:13:43,960
Barbara,
how's Sheba's husband taking all this?
875
01:13:44,212 --> 01:13:46,296
Barbarians.
876
01:13:48,591 --> 01:13:50,592
Sorry about your job.
877
01:13:50,843 --> 01:13:52,969
You see, the headmaster thought I knew.
878
01:13:53,846 --> 01:13:56,515
- Did you?
- No!
879
01:13:59,352 --> 01:14:01,436
Where is she?
880
01:14:01,521 --> 01:14:03,563
In her lair.
881
01:14:07,610 --> 01:14:10,320
Your boyfriend is younger than mine!
882
01:14:10,404 --> 01:14:11,988
He's not my boyfriend.
883
01:14:12,240 --> 01:14:14,908
You slept with a child!
884
01:14:17,120 --> 01:14:21,081
Oh, Jesus wept! The spectre at the feast.
885
01:14:21,165 --> 01:14:25,502
- You watch your tongue, madam.
- Frigging freak!
886
01:14:28,214 --> 01:14:30,674
Oh, there, there.
887
01:14:33,803 --> 01:14:35,887
Thanks for coming.
888
01:14:37,306 --> 01:14:39,891
I'm so sorry about school.
889
01:14:42,687 --> 01:14:45,272
Was he... Thank you. Was he awful to you?
890
01:14:52,947 --> 01:14:56,366
Listen, you could say no,
I'd completely understand,
891
01:14:56,450 --> 01:14:58,702
but Richard...
892
01:14:59,829 --> 01:15:04,624
He needs some time alone.
He's asked me to leave.
893
01:15:04,709 --> 01:15:08,753
Can I come and stay with you,
just for a few days?
894
01:15:11,257 --> 01:15:13,758
You're welcome for as long as you like.
895
01:15:24,896 --> 01:15:27,856
When's she coming out?
896
01:15:33,821 --> 01:15:36,114
Is Ben at school?
897
01:15:38,576 --> 01:15:40,619
Does he know what's happening?
898
01:15:41,370 --> 01:15:43,872
It's really none of your business.
899
01:15:45,583 --> 01:15:48,210
What about the kids?
900
01:16:10,191 --> 01:16:13,193
I knew who you were when we met.
901
01:16:14,487 --> 01:16:19,866
You were young, and I knew
it might get tough but I was prepared.
902
01:16:22,036 --> 01:16:26,998
You're a good mother, but at times
you've been a fucking lousy wife.
903
01:16:27,124 --> 01:16:29,292
Why didn't you come to me?
904
01:16:29,710 --> 01:16:32,671
You could have told me
how lonely you were.
905
01:16:32,755 --> 01:16:35,215
You never trusted me to help you.
906
01:16:35,925 --> 01:16:41,137
I'm not saying I was so fucking fabulous,
but I was here.
907
01:16:52,358 --> 01:16:55,193
There she is! There she is!
908
01:16:58,531 --> 01:17:03,868
This last month has been
the most delicious time of my life.
909
01:17:06,998 --> 01:17:10,208
Of course, we've had our ups and downs.
910
01:17:10,293 --> 01:17:15,797
The pressure is intense
when two women share their lives.
911
01:17:15,881 --> 01:17:20,719
But, oh, what marvelous intensity it is!
912
01:17:26,225 --> 01:17:28,310
It's the crone!
913
01:17:28,394 --> 01:17:31,771
- Barbara!
- Barbara! Barbara!
914
01:17:33,065 --> 01:17:34,816
Is Sheba coming out?
915
01:17:38,070 --> 01:17:41,281
Circumstances are not always ideal.
916
01:17:43,326 --> 01:17:45,452
The swinish press,
917
01:17:45,536 --> 01:17:48,580
the stringent bail terms,
918
01:17:48,664 --> 01:17:51,374
meetings with lawyers and so on.
919
01:17:51,459 --> 01:17:55,754
But all things considered,
we're coping admirably.
920
01:17:56,630 --> 01:18:00,383
In fact, gold stars abundant.
921
01:18:02,178 --> 01:18:07,682
The cuckold permits her
to see their children once a week.
922
01:18:07,933 --> 01:18:10,018
There are usually tears
923
01:18:10,102 --> 01:18:12,729
and fits of teenage tantrums, too.
924
01:18:14,357 --> 01:18:19,569
In time, she'll recognise
she's just not the mothering kind,
925
01:18:19,653 --> 01:18:22,822
and then Barbara will be there
to comfort her.
926
01:18:22,907 --> 01:18:26,242
Nurse, beloved friend,
927
01:18:26,327 --> 01:18:28,453
and wise counsel.
928
01:19:53,456 --> 01:19:55,123
The crone returneth!
929
01:19:55,207 --> 01:19:56,791
Were you pushed or did you jump?
930
01:19:56,876 --> 01:19:58,835
If you jumped, was it into a dyke?
931
01:19:58,919 --> 01:20:01,588
Is Sheba alive?
What have you done with her?
932
01:20:01,672 --> 01:20:05,467
How's the family
coping, Barbara?
933
01:20:05,718 --> 01:20:08,845
Barbara! Barbara! Barbara!
934
01:20:09,680 --> 01:20:11,764
Sheba?
935
01:20:23,736 --> 01:20:26,654
What you say about me,
936
01:20:27,698 --> 01:20:30,450
about Richard...
937
01:20:32,036 --> 01:20:34,954
You're not fit to shine his shoes.
938
01:20:36,373 --> 01:20:38,458
And Ben and
939
01:20:39,502 --> 01:20:40,877
Polly,
940
01:20:40,961 --> 01:20:43,838
that I'd be happier without them?
941
01:20:49,011 --> 01:20:51,679
Why did you do it?
942
01:20:51,764 --> 01:20:54,516
Because I didn't help you collect your cat?
943
01:20:54,767 --> 01:20:56,851
You've cost me my family!
944
01:20:56,936 --> 01:20:59,145
Take some responsibility!
945
01:20:59,230 --> 01:21:05,485
I gave you exactly what you wanted. You'd
still be stuck in that marriage without me.
946
01:21:05,569 --> 01:21:07,487
- What?
- You can't accept it yet...
947
01:21:07,571 --> 01:21:11,699
- You think I wanted to be here with you?
- You need me! I'm your friend!
948
01:21:11,784 --> 01:21:14,702
You've put me in prison!
I could get two years!
949
01:21:14,787 --> 01:21:20,083
They'll fly by. I'll visit you every week.
We've so much life to live together.
950
01:21:20,167 --> 01:21:22,377
You think this is a love affair?
951
01:21:22,461 --> 01:21:24,337
A relationship?
952
01:21:24,421 --> 01:21:28,675
What, sticky gold stars
and a strand of my hair?
953
01:21:28,759 --> 01:21:31,386
And a receipt from Pizza Express?
954
01:21:31,470 --> 01:21:33,346
It's a flat in the Archway Road
955
01:21:33,430 --> 01:21:35,723
and you think you're
Virginia frigging Woolf!
956
01:21:35,808 --> 01:21:40,144
Where did you get my hair? Did you pluck it
from the bath with fucking tweezers?
957
01:21:40,229 --> 01:21:43,147
Don't you know it's rude
to read a person's diary?
958
01:21:43,232 --> 01:21:46,526
We're not companions. We're not friends.
You don't like me!
959
01:21:46,610 --> 01:21:51,155
That's not true. I only have
tender feelings for you, only love!
960
01:21:51,240 --> 01:21:53,908
You're barking, fucking mad.
You don't know how to love.
961
01:21:54,159 --> 01:21:58,329
You have never your whole life.
Me, Jennifer Dodd...
962
01:21:58,414 --> 01:22:01,708
You're nothing but waste
and disappointment,
963
01:22:01,792 --> 01:22:04,002
you bitter old virgin!
964
01:22:04,086 --> 01:22:08,798
You're lonely for a reason.
They loathed you at school, all of them.
965
01:22:08,882 --> 01:22:13,136
I was the idiot who bothered, but only
because no one told me you're a vampire!
966
01:22:13,220 --> 01:22:16,598
So what is it, Bar?
You wanna roll around the floor like lovers?
967
01:22:16,682 --> 01:22:19,767
- You wanna fuck me?
- Please don't diminish our...
968
01:22:19,852 --> 01:22:22,812
- Our what? What?
- No! Give it back.
969
01:22:22,896 --> 01:22:28,026
I... I know you. Selfish and vain,
you think you have a divine right.
970
01:22:28,110 --> 01:22:32,030
You don't belong in the world,
you belong here! You big baby!
971
01:22:35,534 --> 01:22:43,750
Here I am!
972
01:23:25,084 --> 01:23:29,087
We never invited you
to the fucking Dordogne.
973
01:23:30,756 --> 01:23:35,343
I'm sorry, but you specifically said if I
happened to be in France I should drop in.
974
01:23:35,552 --> 01:23:37,762
We didn't mean it.
975
01:23:39,014 --> 01:23:41,099
Well, fine.
976
01:23:42,726 --> 01:23:44,977
I won't come, then.
977
01:23:46,438 --> 01:23:49,273
I asked you to lunch because I liked you.
978
01:23:50,401 --> 01:23:53,027
I would have been your friend.
979
01:24:00,869 --> 01:24:03,121
I need more than a friend.
980
01:26:21,385 --> 01:26:23,135
I knew her.
981
01:26:23,387 --> 01:26:25,429
Sorry?
982
01:26:25,639 --> 01:26:28,140
- I knew her.
- Really?
983
01:26:28,392 --> 01:26:29,725
Mm.
984
01:26:29,977 --> 01:26:33,312
- We taught at the same school.
- God.
985
01:26:33,772 --> 01:26:36,107
What was she like?
986
01:26:36,733 --> 01:26:38,609
A bit
987
01:26:39,194 --> 01:26:40,945
chilly.
988
01:26:42,239 --> 01:26:44,448
A touch furtive.
989
01:26:46,618 --> 01:26:49,036
A sort of absent person.
990
01:26:50,789 --> 01:26:53,708
Oh, but I didn't know her well. May I?
991
01:26:53,792 --> 01:26:55,877
Mm-hm.
992
01:27:01,758 --> 01:27:04,176
- Do you still teach?
- No, no.
993
01:27:05,095 --> 01:27:07,179
Retired.
994
01:27:08,265 --> 01:27:10,308
Thank goodness.
995
01:27:11,935 --> 01:27:14,812
- You...
- Oh.
996
01:27:15,564 --> 01:27:18,482
- Here.
- Thanks.
997
01:27:24,364 --> 01:27:27,033
- I love it here.
- Mm.
998
01:27:27,117 --> 01:27:30,161
It's spectacular at dusk.
999
01:27:35,876 --> 01:27:37,752
I'm Barbara.
1000
01:27:44,635 --> 01:27:46,177
Annabel.
1001
01:27:51,016 --> 01:27:54,185
I wonder, Annabel,
1002
01:27:54,269 --> 01:27:56,604
- do you like music?
- Oh, yes.
1003
01:27:56,688 --> 01:28:01,192
It's just that I've got tickets
for Handel's Water Music at the Albert Hall
1004
01:28:01,276 --> 01:28:02,443
on Saturday night.
1005
01:28:02,527 --> 01:28:05,112
You could bring a friend
if there's someone...
1006
01:28:05,364 --> 01:28:07,657
Oh, no. Oh, no. There isn't.
1007
01:28:07,741 --> 01:28:10,201
Well, there we are.
