00:27 [MUSIC PLAYING]
00:32 Here you are.
00:34 Yeah, sorry.
00:36 I'm sorry.
00:38 I watched you outside my door.
00:41 I was waiting for the knob to turn.
00:44 You watched me?
00:45 Well, your shadow lurking.
00:49 Why didn't you come in?
00:50 Because it's not the answer.
00:55 You thought about it, though.
00:56 You were there ages.
00:57 Bernice, you know how special you are to me.
01:03 But it's friends only.
01:05 I have to make things work with Wendy.
01:07 She's just spent the night in Liam's bed.
01:10 Champagne in the bath, room service dinner.
01:13 Now, you see, Wendy doesn't like room service.
01:15 She says the food's always tepid.
01:16 It's not the cold, cold wine she's interested in.
01:18 For God's sake, Bob.
01:19 [DOORBELL RINGS]
01:21 She's nearly home.
01:25 Yeah, I bet she is.
01:27 She must be exhausted.
01:28 She's probably going to have to lay down for a week.
01:30 Bernice, please.
01:31 This is excruciating, watching you waiting here
01:34 like a faithful old hound.
01:36 Where's your fight, man?
01:37 I don't want a fight.
01:38 I want her back.
01:40 I love her.
01:41 Well, more for you.
01:42 Well, this is me.
01:55 It's nice to finally hear your voice after 90 miles.
01:59 Not very good in the morning.
02:01 Anyway.
02:04 I've started writing our story again.
02:07 It's a sister Mildred.
02:08 She moves to the Isle of Mull to start a hospital for orphans.
02:11 Are there many orphans in the Isle of Mull?
02:13 I thought it was mainly sheep.
02:15 I mean, the location isn't really relevant.
02:16 It's just more about something positive
02:19 coming from the tragedy.
02:20 I could show you my laptop.
02:22 No.
02:22 I'd like to think we've got some good memories
02:28 from our time, cocooned in our little bubble.
02:33 It was a bubble, Liam.
02:34 Now it's popped.
02:37 But--
02:38 It really is that simple.
02:40 There's no epilogue, no sequel.
02:43 My future's with Bob.
02:46 Well, goodbye, Wendy.
02:47 Goodbye, Liam.
02:50 Oh, the conference.
02:52 Did we enjoy it?
02:54 Did we have a gourmet meal?
02:56 We need to sync our stories again.
02:58 Leave it with me.
03:00 One final burst of inspiration.
03:02 I'll text you when I get home.
03:03 Oh, is that another list from Marlon?
03:15 I asked for it.
03:17 It's two days until our wedding.
03:18 We can't afford any miscommunication.
03:20 Ah, um, Laurel Shimer.
03:24 About that name, um, I wanted to keep Thomas
03:28 so it was the same as the children.
03:31 Well, yeah, it'd be a bit weird if you didn't.
03:32 Yeah, that's what I thought.
03:34 I mean, it doesn't mean that I don't want to marry you.
03:36 It's just-- do you hate the idea?
03:40 No.
03:41 No.
03:43 I might have thought for it once.
03:46 Well, being a Shimer's lost all its meaning now.
03:48 It's just-- it's fake like everything else.
03:51 Well, she adopted you properly, so it's still your name.
03:54 You'll always be a Shimer to me.
03:55 Thanks, Arthur.
03:56 I know I'm saddled with it.
03:58 Doesn't mean your mum has to be saddled with it, too.
04:01 Laurel Thomas is fine.
04:03 Oh, I feel awful now.
04:07 Do you think he minds?
04:09 No, I think he's just still really sad about Rishi.
04:11 Until Rishi gives him the information that he wants,
04:13 there's not a lot we can do.
04:15 Trust me.
04:16 I have tried everything.
04:18 [DOOR CLOSES]
04:20 Hey.
04:31 Morning.
04:32 Hi, love.
04:33 Mm.
04:34 Mm.
04:35 How was the course?
04:38 Oh, you know, it was tough going,
04:40 but then sepsis was never going to be a barrel of laughs.
04:44 The meal was good, though.
04:45 We had pan-fried scallops, braised pork
04:49 belly with wilted greens, and lemon full for pudding.
04:52 Did you bring me a doggy bag?
04:54 No.
04:56 Well, it would have all got squashed in my own back.
04:58 I'm joking.
04:59 Oh, right, yeah.
05:01 I would rather have been here, though.
05:03 Us and Sherlock Holmes.
05:05 Did you get to see the film?
05:06 No, I got a bit distracted.
05:08 Oh.
05:09 Oh, well, never mind.
05:10 That's what ketchup's for.
05:11 Yeah.
05:13 I tell you what.
05:15 We could maybe pencil that in for later,
05:16 because I really could do with a quiet one.
05:20 Right.
05:22 Exhausting, was it, last night?
05:25 I don't need to know.
05:27 Well, you know, it was the usual.
05:30 People drinking too much, talking too loud.
05:33 That was just Liam.
05:34 [CHUCKLES]
05:37 Do you know what?
05:37 I'd better go and unpack.
05:40 I'll make us a brew.
05:41 Oh, lovely.
05:42 [SPLASHING]
05:46 Next time, I'll do you a picnic by the river.
05:49 I'll even hire us a boat.
05:51 And then you'd fall in.
05:52 And then I'd have to dive in the water and heave you out.
05:55 What are you talking about, woman?
05:56 You can't swim, unless you've been having lessons
05:59 at His Majesty's pleasure.
06:00 Because jails are famous for their luxury pools.
06:03 [CHUCKLES]
06:05 Oh, Charles, what a nice surprise.
06:08 Thought you were in church business.
06:09 Even vicars need a dinner break.
06:12 You've had lunch together.
06:15 We have.
06:17 My treat.
06:19 Your mum's favorite.
06:20 The best the shop could provide.
06:22 Overpriced, but perfectly acceptable.
06:26 Hey, Charlie, do you remember the first time
06:28 you tried a fish cake?
06:30 We were at Maitland Avenue.
06:32 That's right.
06:32 [CHUCKLES]
06:34 We used to go to that department store every Saturday.
06:37 He was expecting a proper cake, all buttercreams
06:39 and sprinkles.
06:40 And along came this soggy patty, and it smelled of fish.
06:43 [CHUCKLES]
06:45 Because it's a fish cake, Charlie.
06:47 Oh.
06:48 He takes one look at it and he starts bawling and wailing.
06:52 And I had to pick him up, put him over my shoulder,
06:54 and carry him out.
06:55 I don't like fish cake.
06:57 [CHUCKLES]
06:58 Oh.
07:00 It's work, I've got to go.
07:01 But you haven't eaten.
07:02 Sergeant.
07:03 [DOOR OPENS]
07:04 [CHUCKLES]
07:07 On the house.
07:09 Thanks, Brenda.
07:10 Nicola told me about your boy trouble.
07:13 Nothing hurts like the first break up.
07:15 [DOOR OPENS]
07:19 Hey.
07:21 Welcome to the singles club.
07:22 It's actually the coolest place to be.
07:24 [CHUCKLES]
07:26 Still really miss him, though.
07:28 Marshal wasn't the person for you
07:29 if he's caused all this misery.
07:31 Really?
07:32 Absolutely.
07:33 You know it's real love when it doesn't feel like hard work.
07:37 That's what I told Jay when his girlfriend dumped him
07:40 on the day of his sixth form disco.
07:42 Ouch.
07:43 Yeah, he's suit didn't match her dress
07:45 and the limo wasn't fancy enough.
07:48 I reckon he made a lucky escape.
07:50 Well, that's exactly what I told him.
07:52 So we ditched the disco and went to the cinema
07:55 to watch "Jurassic Park" instead.
07:57 So you better get out there, live your life, and have fun.
08:02 Yeah.
08:04 Jess will really miss you, Jay, you know?
08:06 I wish that were true.
08:09 But he's asked for space, and I respect his feelings.
08:12 Yeah, well, he might have said that,
08:13 but he didn't really mean it.
08:15 He's just too proud to make the first move.
08:18 You're still coming to the wedding, right?
08:20 You don't want it to be weird and awkward for everyone.
08:23 And do you want Jay to have an amazing day?
08:25 Thank you, Arthur.
08:31 Well, I do hope you're right, because I
08:34 predict tears before bedtime.
08:36 Well, I should go, too.
08:38 I'm going to go catch up with April.
08:40 See you.
08:41 See you.
08:41 I could sit over there, and we could keep blanking each other.
08:52 Or?
08:52 Or we could pretend that the other day didn't happen.
08:56 Me being so touchy, I mean.
08:57 Yeah, that was weird.
09:00 I wasn't lying about the whole Gabby thing.
09:04 It doesn't feel great her dissing me to everyone.
09:07 Yeah, you're oversharing again.
09:09 Why do I seem to bring this out on you?
09:11 Sorry.
09:12 Can we still be mates?
09:14 That's what I'm trying to ask.
09:16 It would be really good to hang out.
09:17 Buy me a coffee, and we'll see.
09:24 She's nice.
09:25 Sitting down for five minutes, Tracy cleaning the rooms.
09:28 Yeah.
09:30 Yeah, it's nice.
09:32 Relaxing.
09:34 Should do it more.
09:36 What?
09:37 Take time out for ourselves.
09:40 Hey, we could go to the lakes, go and see Kathy and Heath.
09:42 They'd love that.
09:44 OK.
09:46 Could stop at that hotel on the way.
09:48 You know the one with the spa?
09:49 The one that we keep saying we're going to book?
09:51 Yeah.
09:52 If we ever find a discount code.
09:54 Pay full price.
09:55 You deserve it.
09:56 It costs an absolute fortune.
09:58 I can treat you if I want to.
10:00 No, Bob.
10:01 I'd really--
10:02 When's your next day off?
10:03 I'll check the website.
10:04 I don't know.
10:05 Yeah, we need a break.
10:07 Summer road trip.
10:08 Hey, let's call for a playlist.
10:10 Bob, stop.
10:13 I can't.
10:15 I'm sorry.
10:17 I can't bear you not knowing.
10:19 Don't.
10:22 Please, you don't need to say it.
10:25 Say what?
10:29 I know that there was no course.
10:31 I phoned the hotel.
10:32 I know about you and Liam.
10:39 Bernice.
10:57 She said something, didn't she?
11:01 Why did you wait till now?
11:02 Why didn't you call when you found out?
11:05 I texted.
11:07 You said the course was going well.
11:11 That's when I knew.
11:14 You-- you're just going on about visiting Kathy and Heath.
11:18 You kissed me.
11:19 I don't understand.
11:21 Because if I spoke the words, it made it real.
11:24 I didn't sleep with Liam last night.
11:26 We didn't even share the same room.
11:28 I told him it was over.
11:29 Yeah, right.
11:31 Bob, it's true.
11:34 When did it start?
11:37 Come on, if we're being honest.
11:39 A few weeks.
11:41 Weeks?
11:42 A month, a couple of months.
11:43 How?
11:49 Please, don't make me do this.
11:53 You know, I always assumed it would be me.
11:55 I've cheated on partners before.
11:57 It's no secret.
11:58 But with you, it was different.
12:00 I trusted you completely.
12:01 I barely understand him myself.
12:03 Shall I make it simple?
12:06 He obviously gave you something that I couldn't.
12:10 Yeah, we went through all the sepsis warning signs,
12:13 which I still know.
12:14 So that was reassuring.
12:15 Yeah, yeah, but what did they give you for dinner?
12:17 It was wilted pork and a Liam full--
12:20 lemon, lemon full.
12:22 Wilted pork?
12:24 Well, it sound like you deserve to fancy
12:27 meal anyway for giving you evening
12:29 up to brush up on your skills.
12:31 The NHS should be proud.
12:33 Liam, can I have a word, please?
12:40 Yes.
12:43 Well, actually, it's for--
12:45 from Ripon with love.
12:48 There was no course in Newcastle.
12:51 I know you were with Wendy.
12:53 So does Bob.
12:54 Bob?
12:55 Wendy?
12:56 I'm baffled, perplexed.
12:59 Is this some kind of mummy complex, a midlife crisis?
13:02 No.
13:03 Well, whatever, you're still a despicable lech.
13:05 Disgraced to your stethoscope.
13:07 And in Betty Boothroyd, too.
13:09 Just keep your voice down.
13:12 You haven't made this public, have you?
13:13 Well, that's for Bob to decide.
13:14 And he's in too much shock right now.
13:16 This is terrible, isn't it?
13:18 Of all my exes, I held you in the highest esteem.
13:21 What a disappointment you turned out to be.
13:25 I found out he was writing a short story.
13:28 You found out?
13:30 He was using a fake name.
13:32 It's all-- it's really complicated to explain.
13:35 But the upshot of it is I helped him.
13:40 And then we both discovered that we
13:43 had this shared passion for the murder mystery genre.
13:47 And it was intoxicating, having this secret.
13:53 And then we won.
13:56 You won?
13:58 A competition.
14:00 When was this?
14:01 I said I was going to a medical seminar.
14:03 [SIGHS]
14:05 So all these meetings, all these work trips,
14:08 they're all a cover.
14:09 No.
14:10 I did try to stop it before.
14:11 Now I never wanted to hurt you.
14:13 Couldn't you think of something more original?
14:15 You're supposed to be the writer.
14:17 You see, Leland never made me feel like that.
14:19 Patronized.
14:20 Stupid.
14:22 I bet he wouldn't.
14:23 He's too busy trying to get you out of uniform
14:25 and over his desk.
14:27 Oh, God.
14:29 I'm so sorry.
14:30 I'm sorry I should have stopped it for good after the first time
14:34 it happened.
14:35 Why didn't you?
14:36 Because I told you it made me feel fun, different, desired.
14:41 That cheese sandwich thing you said, that really stuck.
14:45 What?
14:46 When I-- I said it was boring, and you said you liked it.
14:49 But with Liam, I wasn't boring.
14:51 I could be anything I wanted, and that's what affairs do.
14:55 They're not reality.
14:59 They're not-- they're not cooking tea for the twins
15:05 every night.
15:06 They're not stopping endless arguments,
15:08 trying not to bash either of their heads with that guitar,
15:12 watching TV, cuddling up on the sofa,
15:19 chatting away about our days when you bring
15:21 me a cup of tea in the bath.
15:23 That's-- that's what I love, Bob.
15:31 That's my life.
15:33 It's the only one I want.
15:35 I love you, Bob.
15:38 While all this was going on, I almost cheated on you, too.
15:43 Almost.
15:49 I wanted to, but I didn't.
15:52 So how was that urgent business you needed to attend to?
15:59 Hmm, an excuse.
16:01 Thought so.
16:03 I'm sorry.
16:05 It's my dad, his performance.
16:07 He puts my teeth on edge.
16:09 I thought you were going to try and give him a chance.
16:12 I mean, Victor's clearly putting the effort in.
16:14 Could meet him halfway.
16:15 Never going to happen.
16:16 Oh, Charles.
16:17 I told my mum what she needed to hear.
16:20 I thought you'd accepted, or at least
16:22 come to terms with his past, the kind of man he was.
16:24 You've talked about this.
16:27 You haven't told me everything, though, have you?
16:30 Charles.
16:33 Maitland Avenue, our house.
16:38 He ruined it for us.
16:41 I feel bad about involving Arthur.
16:44 I wish we could resolve this without dragging the family in.
16:47 I have told you where I stand.
16:48 I couldn't be any clearer.
16:51 Jay, I have invited you to the wedding.
16:54 I put up with you on the stag do.
16:56 I have been civil.
16:57 But that is all you are going to get from me.
17:01 But the coldness, it's unbearable.
17:04 I miss you.
17:05 But not enough to care about my feelings.
17:08 I can't sleep at night wondering who my dad is,
17:12 if mum ever told him, if he's thinking about me, too.
17:15 Rishi, it's really starting to affect him.
17:17 He's just looking for answers.
17:19 I keep telling you, I have none.
17:22 And I don't believe you.
17:23 You have lied to me my whole life.
17:26 And you are still lying now.
17:28 And you know what?
17:29 That is the bit that I can't forgive.
17:31 So if you're going to keep ignoring the boundaries
17:33 that I have put in place to protect myself,
17:35 then I would rather not have a relationship at all.
17:38 Victor was a hopeless father who was an even worse criminal.
17:46 Over-promised, under-delivered.
17:54 You don't mess with people like that.
17:57 People?
17:59 You met them?
18:01 When I was 12, a bunch of them came looking for him.
18:06 Mum locked the door, but they smashed it in anyway.
18:13 Tied her up.
18:14 My God, Charles.
18:17 I kept asking for my dad.
18:19 She didn't know.
18:21 She was crying.
18:25 I begged them to let me go so I could fetch him.
18:32 Went to every pub that he used to go to,
18:33 every filthy gambling den.
18:37 Found him drunk.
18:39 Dragged him home.
18:40 All the while, panicking what they were doing to my mum.
18:47 I still don't know.
18:53 We never talk about it.
18:56 Ever?
18:57 She stayed at home for months.
19:01 Trauma is what you'd call it now.
19:04 Victor did one of his disappearing acts.
19:08 So it's just me and her.
19:12 I thought my job was to protect her.
19:16 So I stayed off school for months
19:18 until the truant officer came by and mum told him
19:27 that I'd fallen in with a bad crowd.
19:31 Then Victor rocks up out of the blue with a bunch of flowers
19:34 and that was it.
19:37 It never happened.
19:39 That was my normal.
19:42 That's why I still feel like I need to keep her safe.
19:45 She can't see him for who he is.
19:49 Just a fantasy in her mind.
19:53 Charles.
19:54 I can't trust her not to hurt herself,
19:57 to hurt me by letting him in.
20:01 It's starting all over again.
20:02 It hurts, doesn't it?
20:08 It really does.
20:11 We were drinking in a daft mood.
20:15 Got carried away with this wine tasting.
20:18 I don't need all the details.
20:20 I was tempted, but I stopped myself.
20:22 You know why?
20:24 Because of you.
20:25 Because you're my partner.
20:26 It's that simple.
20:29 What we have-- what we had felt so secure, so perfect.
20:35 You are the person I want to wake up beside
20:41 for the rest of my life.
20:43 Why would I put that in jeopardy for some 30
20:45 fumble with Bernice?
20:47 I'm so sorry.
20:48 So what happens now?
20:53 I don't know.
20:54 I don't know.
20:56 Is it telling us something?
20:57 No.
20:58 Is it stale?
20:59 Are we done?
21:00 No, I love you as much as I always have.
21:03 You're my soulmate, too.
21:05 You had an affair with Liam.
21:08 A proper affair.
21:10 You're cheating on me, Wendy.
21:11 I know, I know.
21:12 Please give me another chance.
21:13 Let me make this up to you.
21:14 Because look, this is the hardest part, the being honest.
21:18 And we can work through this.
21:20 Love shouldn't need work.
21:22 We're not some old married couple
21:23 staying together for the kids.
21:26 We can cut loose now.
21:28 Is that what you want?
21:29 Because I don't.
21:29 I just know that this is too painful.
21:36 I need some time by myself to make a decision,
21:40 to see if we have a future.
21:41 Follow the story of one of Wimbledon's most well-known
