JD, this is Red Fox reporting for
duty.

Are you on a clean line?

Operation Goose Status update.

Phase two is complete.

Repeat, phase two is complete.

Phase three will commence shortly.

Stand by for phase three.

- I knew it!

- ..knew it...knew it...

..knew it...knew it...

- Hello!

Who are you?

Who are you?

Goblin.

- He tried to kill a dog?
- Yeah!

- Robbie? Robbie tried to kill a dog?

- Oh, he has shown his true colours
now, hasn't he? The bastard!

- What are you going to do, then?
- What I'm going to do

is sort this car out so Juno doesn't
kill me.

Should take a few hours. Then I'm
going to take this dog home

and talk to his owner - CR Harker -

tell her who I am, tell her who Robbie
is,

tell her exactly what he's done and
get her to tell the police!

- CR Harker?

A-Aaraths in the book lady?

- Yes, why?
- Well, she's famous, isn't she?

- Exactly. So she can get them to
investigate.

- Oh, I don't know, love.

Is she going to want to listen to the
likes of you? No offence.

It's just...what if she thinks you're
some kind of stalker, or...?

- She dumped him, Dad. She obviously
sees through him.

- Be careful, love, that's all.

- Juno, not again.

- No, I just got back to the house.

I'm hoping he found his way back.

Goblin?

Goblin?

Goblin!

Oh, God...

- Who's there?

Rob!

You scared me!

- Sorry. Hilary let me in.

I was hoping to get in and out without
bothering you.

I thought I'd save you the trouble of
posting my Dad's cufflinks.

- Is he here?

- Who?
- Goblin! Have you seen him?

- Goblin? Er, no.

Are you all right?

- Goblin!

Goblin?

Goblin!

Goblin!

- Why isn't she answering her phone?

What's she going to do if she's lost
him?

You know what she's like about that
dog.

- It doesn't bear thinking about.

Hey. Hi.

- Oh, hello.

- Can I help you?
- Er, we're here to see Cheryl?

- Oh. I'm so sorry. She's resting at
the moment.

She doesn't want any visitors.

Can you come back later?

- I'm meant to be at work.

- Oh, is that for her? Shall I, um...?

- I'm sorry, who are you?

- He is Dr Robert Chance. We met at
your talk.

I'm Regina Winters, Cheryl's editor,
and this is Danni, her stepdaughter.

- Ah! Ha.

- Has she found Goblin?
- Ah, um, I'm afraid not.

But we'll let you know if there's any
news. And thank you so much.

- That's Dr Chance?

Oh, God. I thought she broke up with
him.

- I'm really sorry.

Shh, shh, shh.

Come on. I'll be back.

I'm going to search in the woods. I'm
taking your car.

- Fuck!

It's OK, it's OK.

- Goblin!

Oh!

- I don't believe it!

Oh, I thought I'd lost you.

Where on earth did you find him?

You can't just stay out there.

Will you come in?

I want to hear everything. Come in,
come in!

Hey, darling! Goblin!

- I can't find my phone.

I was going to, er, call my friend,
Rob.

- Your friend?

- He's gone out searching, poor Rob.

I was in such a state - he must think
I'm completely mad!

I'm so sorry.

I'm Cheryl, by the way. Harker.

And you are?

- I'm...

- Don't listen to her. She's doolally.

- Er...

..Juno.

Juno Fish.

- Come through. Come through!

I'll get you some dry socks.

There we are. Come on. Time to get
dry. There we go.

So tell me everything.

Where was he?
- Who?

- The dog - where did you find him?

- He was...in the lake.

- What do you mean, "He was in the
lake"?

- Well, he was sort of drowning in
Botley Lake, so I jumped in.

- You jumped into the lake?

- Yeah, and I got him out and I saw...
I saw Arathdoon on his collar.

- Oh, you silly boy!

You do not go into the water! Ever!

Do you hear me? Oh!

Thank you.

I don't know what to say.

- You write those books. Dragons.

- For my sins.

Do you want a signed copy? Here.

You know, actually, your name sounds
familiar.

We've met.

Your husband's a lawyer.

He was at Gideon.

Leonard?

- Lionel.

- My late husband was the dean.

Lance Harker.

- Lance! Yes, of course.

Thank you.

- One minute he was in the shop and
the next he just disappeared.

- Lance?

- The dog!

- Right. Er...sorry.

- Are you OK? You look a bit...

- I'm so sorry, I think I need to...

- Here, here, sit.

- Glass of water.

I hate to say it, Juno, but there must
all sorts in that lake.

How about a real drink?

Never runs off.

Doesn't bother me when I'm working.

- Did you always want to be a writer?

- Oh, it never occurred to me till I
married Lance.

His daughter, Danni - my stepdaughter

she came to live with us after her
mother died.

She was into all these books - dragons
and elves -

and the more I read, the more I
realised

there were never any characters she
could identify with.

So, I started writing my own.

And Danni's still a fan.

But she's very busy. I'm not sure she
has time to read.

- What does she do?

- She's a cameraperson on a TV
hospital drama.

She works very hard.

It's her way of coping, you know?

And I'm the same.

Or I was before I finished my last
book.

Now I'm a bit...

- Do you miss him, your husband?

Sorry, it's a stupid question.

- I do. I mean, he was ill for a few
years.

Dementia.

So, for me, he's been gone a long
time, but...

- Not the same, but...

..when I was 18, my dad had what they
call a life-altering accident.

Hurt his spine.

He went from this cheerful, strong,
funny...

..to someone who struggled to walk,
needed help to go to the toilet.

And he got very depressed.

- Were you close?
- Oh, yeah.

I'm an only child, see?

So...I was his pride and joy and he
was my hero.

So when he changed like that -
overnight, really -

it was like I'd lost my best pal.

Anyway, sorry. I didn't mean to...

Have you started seeing anyone new?

Or does it feel too soon?

- Well, OK, can I trust you?
- Oh, yes.

- I met a man recently - Rob.

It was just a fling.

I ended it.

And then tonight he came by to pick up
some stuff and he just...

He postponed his flight to stick
around to help me look for Goblin.

Isn't that something?

Not a lot of people would do something
like that, would they?

In fact, I need to find my phone to
let him know, poor man!

He's out searching in the woods.

- Do you want me to phone it?

- Great! Let me give you my number.

- ..by Marvin Gaye. Cheryl Harker,
you've described the origins

of the Harker Scholarship, founded in
2007, but it's changed recently?

- Yes. After I became a long-term
carer for my husband, Lance,

I decided to offer the scholarship
exclusively to young carers.

- It's ringing.

- It might be on silent.

That coat, is it one of yours?

- Cape. Yes. It's from our new Busy
Bee Mums line.

- I love it! I always think of your
stuff as more...

- Chintzy?
- Not in a bad way.

- Well, I'm changing direction.

I just do all that cutesy shit cos it
sells,

but I've got to the point now where
I'm like,

"Fuck it! Enough fried egg aprons!

"I want to design stuff I'm passionate
about."
- Cor!

Must be fun, being able to make what
you want.

Where's that phone?

- I have ideas for clothes, but I
wouldn't know where to start.

That's Rob's. It won't be in there.

Must have been in my study.

- That's Rob's too. Just pop it on the
side.

Thanks, Juno.

- I can hear it.

What the...?

I'm losing my marbles.

1,000 missed calls. Hang on.

- Ally Cat.

Abortion. Crash. Johnson, Marie.

Melsbury, Hertfordshire.

Kelly C, Abington, Junkie.

863, 03, 92...

Newman, Alice.

Harker, Cheryl. Arathdoon, Oxford.

Recent widow to...

- So tell me more about this fantasy
ball

that you're going to be hosting in
Oxford this year.

- Well, when I agreed, Lance and I
were meant to be hosting together

but, er, I decided to brave it alone
as it's such a good cause.

- Time for some more music. What's
your...?

- I'll tell you when you get here.

I want to see the look on your face.

Where are you now?

- Just round the corner in the woods.

I'll be with you shortly.

- Hope you didn't get too wet.

See you soon.

- Thank you so much for the drink.

Um, I'm going to get out of your hair.
- Oh, OK.

Are you sure I can't give you anything
for...?

Oh, wait! Your book!

Here.

- Thank you!
- OK, bye!

- I'm going to get you!

- That lady, look - she saved him from
drowning. It's a miracle!

- Guess we won't be needing these!

- Oh, God. You went to so much
trouble!

- All that matters is that he's safe
and you're smiling again.

- Oh, you've been so kind.

You went out of your way to help me.
- No. I didn't.

- Yes, you did!

You gave me hope!

I'm sorry I was so mad.

- You were delightful.

Even in your darkest hour.

Right, I should...

..get out of your hair.

- Unless...

You've probably got somewhere to be.

Do you?
- Actually,

I'm not even sure where I'm sleeping
tonight.

I should be halfway to Kangerlussuaq!
- Sorry.

- Oh, no, no. Don't be silly.

- Do you want to...?

I was thinking we could have a
celebratory drink or...

I don't want to complicate...

- No, no, no. I mean...

..we're mates, right?
- Right!

- I mean, if you want me to stay, I'll
stay.

It's not complicated.

- Ooh!

I still can't believe he tried to kill
a dog!

- This is the man I married, Dad.

I mean, when did he get like this?

- You don't think it's worth another
go at the police?

- They won't believe me. It's still
our word against his.

- What's he playing at? I mean, other
than persecuting this poor lady.

- Whatever it is, it's a long way from
dodgy property scams, Dad.

Oxford University. CR Harker. Sir
Ralph Unwin.

Head of the Saattut Climate Academy,
whatever that is.

- Should we not warn this Mrs Harker?

- I was going to, Dad, but...

..what if she doesn't believe me?

She'll tell him. Then what?

- Er...

I don't know.

What?

- Then he'll start, won't he?

Saying I'm crazy. Calling me a liar.

Get me arrested for stalking,

and then everyone'll turn on me and
we'll have to move again.

He doesn't know we're onto him. We're
still ahead.

She's obviously a very wealthy woman.

We need evidence of a pattern and
proof of what he's up to now.

- OK, love.

But h-how do we get that?

- What if...

..letting him do whatever he's going
to do to her is how we catch him?

- Sounds wrong.

- I know it does, but we've tried to
do the right thing

and no-one cares! The police are doing
nothing, so it's up to us.

You want to let him get away with it?

Do you want to walk away?

Then, for a little while longer, we
carry on.

- No, mate, what's the earliest?

7:45 out of where? Stansted?

See? I'll be back in Saattut by
lunchtime.

Yeah, it'll be fine!

All right. OK.

- Everything OK?
- Oh, he'll get over it.

He knows how much I love animals,
so...

- What was he doing by Botley Lake?
That's what I can't get over.

How did he get there?

- Are we sure it's the same dog?

- What? Yes! Why do you say that?

- Oh, no reason. Just me being weird.

- Oh, put him down. He doesn't like
it.

- He doesn't like me, you mean.

The other one liked me.

- Rob, I know my dog.

Anyway, he was wearing his collar.

That's how Juno knew where to find me.

- Ah, yes. The mysterious Juno.

The hooded woman.

What was she like?

- Nice. Interesting. A bit odd.

- All right.

We are always honest with each other,
aren't we?

So I am just going to say my weird
thought.

We don't know this Juno woman, do we?

Are we sure she didn't kidnap the dog

just so she could rescue it to get in
with you?

Or trick you into giving her a reward?

- No! She's not THAT odd!

And who on earth would think of such a
thing?!

- Oh, it's Danni, I'd better...
- Um, I'll get another bottle.

- Danni says she came over. Is
that...?

Rob?

- Cheers!

- Hang, on, I'm sorry, I just...

Did Danni come by today with Regina?

- Danni?
- She's a bit upset.

She says they came by and you sent
them away.

- Oh, God.
- What?

- Um, two women did come round when
you were upstairs,

um, sort of...screaming?

- Oh, God. Did they hear?
- No. No, no, no, no, no, no.

Um, one of them did say she was your
publisher? Editor?

- Regina.
- Yeah, so, I thought they were people
from work.

That was Danni. Oh, God!

- It's fine. I'll explain.

- I did ask if they could come back,
but she said she was busy.

I thought she was some junior...

Oh, the last thing I wanted to do was
upset your friends and family!

- Don't worry about it.

She'll be fine.

- Cheers.

It's been a tough few years.

- You've done amazingly. OK?

Looking after a loved one like you did

it's the hardest thing anyone can do.

But...you know what you deserve now?

- What?
- Some fun. Some laughs.

Someone to look after you, for a
change. And maybe...

..a little bit of dancing.

- Oh, no!

- What have you done to me?

Operation Goose status update.

Phase two is complete.

Repeat, phase two is complete.

Phase three will commence shortly.

Stand by for phase three.

- What?

OK, so, I had planned to slip out,
leave you wanting more,

wondering when and if I'm going to
call,

but I woke up late and I missed my
flight.

So I thought that maybe, if it wasn't
too awful,

you might allow me to hang around like
a bad smell

and we could share a delicious
breakfast

from my favourite boulangerie. What do
you think?

- I mean...

- You've got plans?

- No, no.
- No plans? Or no pastries?

- No plans!
- I'll book the next flight

and I will be out of your hair by this
evening.

- Oh.

OK. Sure.

- Really?

- Or you could...

- What?

- ..stay a bit longer.

No, you probably need to...
- No, no, no, no, no, no.

I mean, I could, and I'd love to.

If I'm not encroaching on your mind
space?

- I'm sorry I said that.

It's all so new. I was feeling...

- No, no, you don't have to apologise.
I get it.

We don't have to label anything. We
can just have fun.

And then, when you're sick of me,

you can kick me back up to the North
Pole.

- So, we know what we're doing, and
are you sure you're up to this?

- Don't you worry about me, love.

Never felt better.

I'll deal with Unwin, you call Harker.

- Juno.
- Lionel's raging! He wants your head
on a stick!

Poppy was waiting at school for four
hours!

The car's a write-off! You'll have to
pay the excess.

- I can't afford that! Juno!
- Is this about your designs? Sour
grapes?

Are you punishing me?
- No!

- Well, what, then? What is this
about?

You can't just abandon Poppy and drive
my car into a tree!

- No, and you're not supposed to...

- What? What am I not supposed to do?

Please don't take advantage of my good
nature, Alice.

I know there's a lot going on in your
personal life...

..but if you bring your problems into
work again,

it will be the last time.

And can you please get the Busy Bee
marketing bumf

across to Colin ASAP!

- Have you never wanted to get
married?
- I mean, I wanted to.

I just never met the right woman.

At heart, I'm such a romantic.

Well, probably watched too many movies
as a kid. I just never met...

..The One.

Now talking of my work, and I know
it's a cliche,

but I've been so dedicated these past
few years,

I just haven't had a chance to meet
anyone.

Now I'm getting older, I need to
reassess my priorities.

And, yeah, I mean, there's still so
much to be done, but...

..I'd also like to settle down.

Find happiness.

I hope I deserve it.

- Of course you do.

It's just a matter of finding the
right person, isn't it?

- Unknown number.
- No, no, no, no. Take it.

- No, it's OK.
- Mm, no, it's fine.

- Hello?

- Cheryl?

It's Juno! Fish! I kept your number.

I hope you don't mind.

- Juno! Oh, er, no, course I don't
mind.

- How's Goblin doing?

- He's fine! No ill-effects from his
little adventure.

How about you?

- Oh, I'm fine.

What did your friend say when he saw
Goblin?

Bet he was surprised, wasn't he?

- He was! He's here now, actually.

- Oh, um...what you up to?

- Er... Not much. Just relaxing.

- So! Excitingly, I have a proposition
for you.

I know you said you have ideas for
clothes,

but you don't know what to do with
them.
- Did I?

- So I thought... why don't I make you
an outfit?!

You imagine it, I'll design it -

and in case you're thinking that this
sounds like

some weird offer...

..um, I was thinking, why don't you
wear it to an event?

Promote my brand?

- I mean...

..that's very kind of you, Juno, but I
don't really do events, as such...

- But, but, but, hang on -

I just thought, you know, because of
what happened with Goblin -

me saving his life and all.

I thought you'd be willing to do me a
favour.

But that's OK.

- No, no, I am very grateful. If I'd
be doing you a favour, then...

- Really? It wouldn't take much of
your time,

and I'd really appreciate it!

- Oh, thinking about it, I do have an
event coming up.

- Great!

- It's low-key, but it's very
important to me.

- I've got a space in the design
studio...

- ..in about an hour.

- Oh, I see.

Well, I suppose I could.

- I'll text you the address!

- Fuck.

Oh, God. Why? Why? Why?

- What did she want?

- She wants to make me an outfit.

- She what?!

- To promote her brand.

- I told you!

She stole your dog so she could turn
you into her fashion mule.

- Ugh.

Hilary?

What happened to Lance's chair? It's
just vanished!

- I haven't moved the chair.

Chairs have legs.

Maybe it walked.

- Here we are, then. Do come in.

Welcome to Juno Fish.

Sorry the place is a bit of a mess -
renovations.

- ..about the future,

enabling bright young carers to study
at Oxford.

We pay for the additional care of your
loved ones,

so that you have time to study.

- Founded in 2015 by Lance and Cheryl
Harker,

the Harker Scholarship Trust.

- Ah! Er... Oh!

Hello.

You are Sir Ralph Unwin?

- Yeah, I am. Can I help you?

- Good God, man, I haven't seen you
since... Oh, when was it?

- I'm sorry?
- Boat race. '76, was it?

- Was it?
- The dark blues beat the light blues
by a whisker

and, er, you and, er, big chap...

Son of Lord...

You, me and him had far too much port,

ended up at the Head of the River.

Anyway, anyway...

He was there last night.

- Er... Er, ju-jus... Who was where?

- At the club! Dr Robert Chance.

- Oh.
- Says he's got some Academy I might
like to invest in.

You must be in good shape, old boy.

I can't even get up the stairs!

- Ha.

Now, well, between you and me, that is
what they call "photo shop".

- H-How do you mean?

- Well, they take your picture from
somewhere else altogether,

and then drop you into that image.

Not that I couldn't, you understand.

I mean, I was up Snowden only last
week for osprey conservation.

I did ask Rob whether it was normal to
cheat such things,

but he assured me it was all above
board.

- But you-you have been there?

Greenland, the Academy?

- Yeah... Well, it's-it's funny you
should ask.

It's a bit of a running joke with Rob
and I.

Every time I'm due to visit, there's
some crisis.

Bad weather. Gas leak.

So, in the end, we just decided to
plop me into here,

until we could take some shots for
real.

It is amazing what they can do these
days, isn't it?

- I mean, I do love skiing in Italy,

but give me a city mini-break any day,
do you know what I mean?

Head straight.
- Yes.

- So helpful friend - what's the
latest? Elbows up!

- Sorry?

- Last night. Your friend. Rob, is it?

- Oh! Right, yeah.

- I see that look. Go on. Tell me
everything.

What happened?

Ooh! I see the twinkle in your eye!
Good for you!

I love that exciting early stage,
where everything's new.

- We're just having fun.

- Is he, um...staying at yours?

- For now.

- Oh, he must be keen.

Lucky you.

- Oh, he's very energetic.

Everything's a new exciting plan or
adventure.

- Oh, spontaneous. Love that.

- Yeah, and he doesn't care what
anyone thinks.

And I am so in my head the whole time.

- Oh, yeah. Me too.

- And he's funny.

Always dancing around like a lunatic.

And he knows all the words to cheesy
pop songs.

And after the past few years, I
suppose it feels...

..exciting, and...

- And like anything's possible.

- Plus he's stopped all the chat about
me meeting his mother,

so that's a relief!

- Would you like dragons down both
sides? Or just one?

- Er... Both. Why not?

- How'd you get on with Unwin?

Sir Ralph gave you this?

- He told me the photos weren't real.

Then he handed me that.

That's what he's giving to potential
investors.

Said it was the opportunity of a
lifetime.

- Remember?
- "There's no time to go into details,

"but look at the aggregate.

"People are making a fortune.

"Florida property's booming!"

- So it's the same!

Oh, he's acting all "la-di-da, I'm a
boffin"

but it's the same shitty basic scam!

Do you think Cheryl's already
invested?

How does Unwin fit in?

- Maybe Unwin's the expertise this
time.

- Either way, the point is, have we
got enough proof?

- This is a paper trail, right?

- Except we could've made these
ourselves.

How do we prove they're his? And...

..where's the evidence anyone's
actually invested?

Do you remember Robbie's weird
Filofax?

I saw it, at Cheryl's.

I know, I know.

Please don't look at me like that.

She said he's using her study.

I could go...
- Oh, I don't know about all this,
love.

I think we might be getting in over
our heads.

- Dad! We need to stay focused.

That Filofax could be essential
evidence.

As soon as we have enough proof,

we will make sure Cheryl knows
everything.

She will be fine.

We won't let anything bad happen to
her.

- So your last scholarship interview
tomorrow?

What's this candidate like?

Do you think she's a potential winner?

- Mm, what's that?

- Are you all set for tomorrow?

- Just getting my head in gear.

- Well, she sounds impressive.

It's "Kioma", right?

- Chioma.

- Chioma. Ah.

- She's a brilliant student, caring
for her mother.

- Do you think everybody has got the
capacity to care like that?

Do all parents and kids have that
bond?

- Well, I...

Well, the reason we support them

is because of the situations they're
in,

it's not because they actually care
more.

I was thinking...

..maybe...

Well, I would love to come with you
tomorrow.

To meet one of them, see what she's
like.

- I don't think that would be
appropriate.

It's quite a personal interview, and
her mother will be there.

It's a sensitive situation.

- Rob?

- Hey, is there...?

If there's something you want to talk
about...

- Sorry.

I'm such an idiot.

- You're not an idiot.

- There is something I'd like to tell
you,

but I'm not expecting pity.

- Oh... I mean...

I won't. Tell me.

- Look, it's not a big deal. It's
just, um...

..when I was a child...

..my mother struggled with her
"nerves", as she called them...

..and there was...

Look, I wouldn't call it violence, it
was a different time,

and she said I was a difficult child,
so...

..and it led me into some problems
with relationships later on,

yada yada, I don't want to get into
details, but...

..the idea of someone like you...

..reaching out to kids in difficult
situations,

I find that very moving.

And I get why you don't want me to
come tomorrow, it's just...

..I hope you know how much it
matters...

..to me.

- If I still had a few minutes to chat
with her in private...

- Other universities teach you
computer languages,

whereas at Oxford they teach you

why you should focus on each language,

and you also learn programming, and
so...

- And you have no other family nearby,
is that right?

- Just me and my mum.

Always has been.

That's why this scholarship is ideal
for my situation,

cos you cover the cost of additional
care, right?

- Yes. So that you're free to study -

but with the understanding of
flexibility from the college.

- Thank you so much, Miss Harker.

I really appreciate this opportunity.

- You are an extraordinary young
woman.

We'll be in touch soon.

You can't make it up, can you?

She's the one, surely?

Got to be! She's a superstar.

- Trouble is, so's the other one.

Sandrine's been caring for both
parents since she was nine.

She's predicted top grades and she
wants to go into medicine.

How on earth am I going to choose?

- Why do you have to?

- There's only enough money for one!

- Is there, though?

- I just think we're succumbing to
limiting beliefs!

Why can't we sponsor two?
- Mm.

- It's a matter of time - not to
mention securing the funding.

- Thank you, Priana. I hoped you'd say
that.

I have received a very generous offer

from a pioneering academic institution
in Greenland,

at the forefront of climate research.

The Saattut Academy.

If Gideon College can bring 50% of the
funding

for the second student, they will come
on board as co-sponsor...

..and match your generous donation.

- I'm confident we can do this.

We just have to believe in the vision.

As my board, I'm asking you to trust
me.

- Are you sure about this?

- I am so sure, my darling.

I've already done this.

To Chioma and Sandrine.

- Terry's business was called The
Moonlight Emporium of Eternal Youth.

He had this huge warehouse out in the
desert,

full of...OK, to the untrained eye
they looked like standard sunbeds,

but Terry assured us they were full of
nano-technology,

and in combination with a specially
developed formula,

which you drank two to three times a
day...

..spending time under this light was
scientifically proven

to not only combat but actively
reverse the ageing process.

I was dubious at first, but then Mom
showed me the website.

Terry had all this official research.

Peer-reviewed medical papers.
Countless testimonials.

This thing seemed not just legit...

..but world-changing.

And, yeah, we thought Mom's $2
million...

..would soon turn into 50.

Saattut Climate Academy, how can I
help you?

Ah, yes!

The Saattut Academy's thrilled

to be partnering with the Harker
Scholarship Trust.

- And now, thanks to Rob,

my scholarship has the funding to
support both of them.

- He just gave you the money?

- He's given me half and the college
have agreed to put in the rest.

So...
- Wow.

- He sounds incredible!
- Oh, he's such a force of nature.

You know, for the first time in a long
time,

I can look into the future and feel
optimistic about what's coming.

- That must be very nice.
- Mm.

Actually, it's nice to be able to talk
about him

without feeling judged.

- Oh, are people not being supportive?

- No, it's not that. It's just...

Well...

..I think I feel guilty.

It's so fast...

..and I'm a widow.

- Well, how does your stepdaughter
feel?

- I think she's suspicious, and I
understand why.

Rob's not...

Under his brash exterior, actually
he's very kind-hearted.

He's got these terrible scars on his
back from his childhood.

- What kind of scars?

- I think they're burns, something to
do with his mother.

Anyway, Danni and Regina are coming
over on Wednesday night

and they've made it very clear

that under no circumstances is Rob
allowed to be there!

- Scott Maran is a huge deal.

I mean, he makes good quality stuff.
What have you got to lose?

- My integrity.

You know what the fans are like about
TV adaptations!

- However much Regina loves money,

I'm sure she wouldn't want you to
sacrifice your integrity, darling!

- He's already sending over a
suggested deal -

you should at least take a look.

- Make sure you read the small print.

- Excuse me?

- I'm kidding.

- We'll talk about it later.

Oh, Danni! Talk to Rob about Yakutsk.

Danni worked on a travel show before
she got her big gig on Medical.

- Ah! Yakutsk!

Oh, what a place...

Takaya krasivaya!

- It's beautiful, isn't it?
- Mm.

How long were you there?
- About two months.

- Oh, that's a shame.

Takes a while to really immerse
yourself

in the language and culture.

- Oh, I did Russian at A level, so...

- Mm. Well, it's not quite the same
thing.

- Well, you must have seen the woolly
mammoths.

They're amazing.
- Yeah, yeah - no, actually...

..ahem...I was asked to advise

on the impact of climate change on
their preservation.

- Oh!

I'm pretty sure they're safe while
they're in a museum, no?

- Ahem...

Ladies, I must be off. Ahem!

I'm taking Ralph to see Jonathan
Powell do Rachmaninoff

at St Hilda's, so...

My darling.

Hilary. Danni. Regina.

- One morning he said to his father,

"I'm going to the neighbouring market

"to buy myself a jacket, a cap and a
pair of shoes.

"When I return," he added, laughing,
"I shall be so well-dressed

"that you will take me for a fine
gentleman,"

and leaving the house he began to run
merrily and happily along,

and all at once he heard himself
called by name

and turning round he saw a big snail

crawling out from the hedge. The end!

- You look nice.

- I'm late! Can I take the van?

- Just a few people from work, is it?
- Oh, I'm not sure, to be honest.

You know what Juno's like with her
birthday.
- What's that?

- This? Oh, it's just something I'm
working on.

I'm going to drop it off in the office
on my way.

Don't wait up!

- We're just having fun!

Why do I have to keep justifying it?

- We're not asking you to justify it.

- We just think it's a bit weird.

First you broke up, and now he's
living here?

- He's not living here!

And we didn't break up, I just took a
step back because it was...

..it was...

- Moving too fast. Wasn't that it?

- Who on earth...?

- Ugh, he'd better not be back.

- Juno!

- Sorry to just drop by unannounced,
it's just that it's ready!

Do you want to try it on?!

- Look at the sleeves!

- Do you like it?

- I love it!

- Really?

- What's all this, then?

Oh!

- What do you think?

- Oh, it's fabulous, darling!

- What's the occasion?

- I thought I could wear it to my
scholarship announcement dinner.

- Might just pop to the loo.

- See?

- I just think the first impression
counts, C,

and I'm sorry, but he's made a bad
one...

- I know what this is really about.
It's about your father...

- Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck.

I, er...I just realised I'm actually
going to have to go,

I, er...
- Are you OK, Juno?

- I'm fine, it's just, er...

I've, er, forgotten, er, there's a...

I should be at a work thing,

I'm really sorry...
- Here, this way.

I'll show you out.

Are you sure everything's OK?

- Oh, yeah. Sorry about this.

- Sorry! Sorry!

- Rob! I thought you'd gone.

- I really am going now.

I forgot my phone.

- Oh, sorry, Juno!

This is Rob. Rob...

- Juno.

Wonderful to meet you.
