The Split

It's highly unusual for the lawyer to be here.

- My client called me, clearly distressed. - I've got most of what I need.

February of this year, Bardain Hotel, Zurich!

There is no-one else.

- How's it going? - Grief? Great.

Marvellous.

Ruth, will you be my wife?

Yes!

Of course!

I guess I consider home to be

wherever the person I love is.

- You're married. - I'm going to tell him.

Mum, I've done something really, really bad!

What the hell happened?

Your daughter has got drunk,

quite possibly cos she's just learnt her father is having a baby.

Is there somewhere you need to be?

Christie's in town.

You will have to decide

what you let go of and what you want to keep.

Imagine...

.. it's just you and me.

Wake up late, coffee, long walks...

Just the two of us.

Just the two of us.

OK, then, so...

- .. tell me where we'd live. - Oh.

OK.

OK, um...

- .. Tribeca. - Oh.

It's a little hip, but the views over the Hudson are...

- What? - You. You're smiling.

Well, I'm smiling because you're there with me.

How would we live?

Hmm.

Lazy mornings.

Pick up coffee.

Then a long walk along the High Line.

Go to galleries...

.. and, um...

.. we'd meet for dinner after work.

I'm thinking...

- .. corner office.. - Bam!

- Bertini... - Mm.

- Close to the park. - We'd be rivals.

Oh, yeah. Professionally -- big time.

Oh...

Personally...

.. we will have the best days of our lives.

And we'd be happy?

So happy.

Everything would just fall into place.

Well, if you want it to.

Do you want it to?

See you later?

Yeah.

There's the head.

Unbelievable.

Wow.

Happiness is a choice.

But that choice won't always make us happy.

So the question is, can we still make that choice

when we hurt the ones we love?

Matters of the heart -- always difficult.

The trick is to know when to speak up.

So, spit it out.

It's moving too fast.

- What? - You, me, this.

This?

This is something to be celebrated,

something to be marvelled over, Nathan.

Maybe it's different when it's your fourth time round.

Shit. Sorry. I didn't...

No, you meant exactly that.

You're right. It is your fourth time around,

maybe even your fifth.

- Low blow. - Sorry, you're asking me to be sensitive around the woman

who cheated on you the night before your wedding and...?

- Hey, you don't get to say that! - The truth?

Because that doesn't fit with your narrative?

Whatever narrative you're playing out now.

OK.

No-one likes endings, Nathan,

but you don't get new beginnings

if you're not prepared to give up what you had.

- I've left Hannah. - No, you haven't.

Mentally, you're still with her.

Work out what you want, Nathan.

Because I'm not going to wait around any more.

Hi, Hannah.

He and his husband Tyler...

Morning!

You're very bright this morning.

.. threw caution to the wind and married spontaneously

in a private ceremony,

- and no prenup! - Can someone turn this down?

Don't forget. Got Melanie and Nathan coming in at, er...

Yep.

They're going to come back hard after your nesting, er...

Yes. Yeah, say it.

- Fiasco? - Yeah.

And Kate's report -- isn't that in today,

following her meeting with Leni?

Mm-hm. Leni's in later. Felix and JJ too.

Good. I'm going to sit in.

Morning.

.. you know, wherever the person I love is.

- Please, can we get this off?! - Where we love is home.

Thank you. At last!

- We still good for dinner tonight? - Not now.

Sleeping bag. We're one down.

I think you borrowed it at Easter.

Oh, God, do we really have to go through with this?

What, the trip our dead brother-in-law

spent months organising before his...

.. untimely death,

to recreate the holidays of our past for the woman he loves?

- OK. - Morning.

Morning.

- OK, spit it out. - How long has it been going on?

- A while. - Nina...

Tonight, he's... He's telling him tonight.

So, what, that gives you the weekend to work out

what you're going to do with your life on Monday?

- It's not like in the past. - Uh-huh.

It's different?

Right, yeah.

It's everything.

It's everything I've ever wanted, Hannah.

Congratulations.

Can you not just fake it? Just be happy for me.

Watching my sister screw up her career

and another marriage?

Um... no.

- Rex went back to his wife. - And the moral of...

.. that story is...?

Can you possibly consider a world in which

not all infidelities are a disaster?

They can actually have longevity.

Ronnie and our mother -- that affair

has been on and off since time began, and now

- they're getting married. - Bad example.

She's already got raging cold feet.

- What? - Ask her.

You see the whites of her eyes.

- And Christie, the last four nights? - So, your point?

- Um, a shoddy, menopausal... - Wow!

.. rekindling of an affair.

Yeah, not an affair.

Right now, we are both unattached.

- Erm... - OK, I'm almost unattached.

But I have been there.

I... I just want you to think about what you're doing.

I mean, don't you... Don't you care?

What, that I'm about to break Zander's heart, screw up his life?

Yes!

Of course I care.

But I have found a man who has a genuine desire

to build a life with me...

.. for me and Cora.

Oh. Oh, God, Nina...

Oh, you're buying the new place with him.

So what if I am?

Ooh, tent pegs.

Ronnie can only find five, and he says we'll need two dozen

at least, if we don't want the whole thing blowing away.

Congratulations.

Wish people would stop saying that.

I thank you.

It's not that I'm ungrateful, but we've only got engaged.

But so many flowers.

What was I meant to do? He put me on the spot.

Say, "Ronnie, the jury's still out

"and, anyway, we're too old"?

Possibly. Alternatively,

"Ronnie, you're a very nice man, but I don't love you."

Well, I couldn't say that, because it wouldn't be true.

I don't have time for this.

What is wrong with you all?

Aversion to camping.

When you were children, you used to beg Ronnie

to let you sit in the front of his old camper van.

Oscar and I would be relegated to the back with poor June.

- Poor June. Yeah. - Oh, good,

- Zander's back. - OK. OK.

Full disclosure.

Christie's been here for five days,

and according to your diary, you've seen him at least twice.

And?

- Who is the American client... - Hannah!

.. and what does it have to do with NHD?

Oh, you pulled up the entire company accounts yesterday.

I'm not an idiot.

And neither is he.

You... You are... You're sneaking around.

Oh, I'd say it was you and Christie who are sneaking around.

And now you're giving me gags.

I have covered for four nights.

Even Liv is growing suspicious.

Don't... Don't sidestep.
