No! I want to get my nails done first. I don't want to embarrass it.
I want to announce it in the official way. On Instagram. With French tips.
Can't we just enjoy it for a bit?
Just the two of us.
Yeah but, let's do it properly.
Have an engagement party. Celebrate.
Yeah, I don't know.
It's not a secret, is it?
Wh... No, no. I, I just...
Everyone's going to be asking too many questions about...
what happened.
OK, fine. Just leave it.
Shall we?
[intriguing music]
-It's nice though! -It's really nice.
You know what?
You're right.
We deserve a party.
-Yeah, we do. -Yeah, yeah!
[tense music]
Daniel, sweetheart, listen...
-What are you doing here? -Am I violent person?
-Am I? -We're not doing this now.
Think about it. Have I ever hurt anyone?
-Get off me. -I didn't attack her.
-Mum! -She did it to herself.
Stop it! Stop lying to me.
You know I would never hurt her.
-You know me. -No, Mum. I... I don't.
I don't think I know you at all.

You need to leave us in peace now.

So...
You've made your decision.
I don't know what else to do, Laura.
Did you know they're engaged?
We can't let him marry her.
You have to speak to him.
-Howard, he won't listen to me. -Then just stop.
Let him make his own mistakes. You never know, you might be surprised.
Just give her a chance. She's a good girl, you know.
She's hardworking. She's charitable.
She donates to a nursing home.
Oh, bullshit! Charitable?
Why would she give money to a nursing home?
It's where her father died.
She told me.
I can't fucking believe that you fell for her.
I can't believe you're so cold.
Why can't you love me the way I love you?
-I tried. -Did you?
You left no room for me.
I couldn't even grieve the way I wanted to for Rose because...
-Oh, please, don't bring her into this. -See, there you go.
You think you're the only one who lost a child.
I lost my daughter too.
But you made it all about you.
But you know what? I'm done fixing everything for everyone.
No more.
But you haven't... You haven't fixed anything.
I'm just asking you to speak to our son.
Do you know where I was this week?
I was persuading one of my colleagues to invest into your gallery.
You have no idea, do you?
I've been pumping money into it for years.
-What?! That... -Calling in favours.
Practically begging friends to buy the shit that just won't sell.
I've crossed over lines that I would never have.
Why would you do that? You're talking about my career.
Career?
No, Laura. That's not a career, that's a hobby.
How do you think Riven's shit sold in the end?
It would've gone bust in the first year if I hadn't stepped in.
Wh... why have you had no faith in me?
I didn't ask you to do any of that.
I did it because I love you.
But, fuck you.
I'm done.
Howard...
You know, for the avoidance of doubt, this was your choice.
Swee... wait.
[door slams shut]
[intriguing music]
Um, excuse me.
Uh, a friend of mine, uh, used to stay here, Mr Laine.
-Oh, yeah. -Oh, is he still a patient here?
Yeah, yeah, he's just down here, let me show you.
Great.
[music intensifies]
Hey, John.
Sorry I haven't been to see you, um...
You probably don't even recognise me.
The kids are all grown up now.
Last time you saw Sally, I think she was in diapers.
Well, she... she's got her own babies now.
I didn't realise he was in such a bad way.
He'll be glad for the company.
He rarely gets any visitors, other than his wife.
-Oh, how is she? -Still at the butchers.
Working all the hours God sends.
And what about the daughter... Cherry, isn't it?
[John stirrs]
John, John, it's all right.
-You're all right. -Sorry.
Don't take it personally.
Even the mention of her gets him all worked up.
Really?
Must be hard for you seeing him like this when you knew him before.
I mean, no one ever told me what happened.
He was working on a building site. Fell 20 feet.
Broke his spine in two places. Cracked his skull.
He's lucky to be alive.
[Howard] So how's the engagement party planning going?
-Hello. It's complicated. -Hey.
As for the wedding, I think elopement might be the better option at this point.
-Oh. -Please, sit.
You know, I think you should do whatever makes you happy.
Congratulations, I, for one, am thrilled with the news.
Saha-tek. Your health.
Thank you.
-Mmm, that's lovely. -Yeah.
I'm... sorry things are the way they are.
I wish it were different.
Families. It's never that simple.
You must miss your dad.
You must miss your daughter.
[intriguing music]
I don't have anyone to walk me down the aisle.
You can say no.
I never thought I'd have the opportunity.
-Ohhh. -I'd love to.
Oh, Howard! Thank you.
-Thank you for asking. -Of course.
[intriguing music]
We're closed.
-You don't know me... -Oh, I know who you are.
-Cherry's told me all about you. -I'd like to talk to you about her.
OK.
Come on through.
So what is it you want?
I... I want your advice on something.
I don't know if you're aware, but... um...
-She's going to marry my son. -I've heard.
Well, I just, I think, it's only fair that I know what he's getting into.
What? You think my daughter's the problem?
I don't want him to end up like her father.
That was an accident.
Well, I don't want my son having any more accidents.
You don't know what you're talking about.
Listen, I know she has a terrible temper.
You have no idea what he put us through.
John fucked us over, he left us in debt without a word.
She just went to track him down to make him come back.
But she pushed him, didn't she? She nearly killed him.
Did she do that, Tracey?
Was that her?
-Fuck off. -Did she push him?
Yeah, well, if she did push him, it doesn't mean she wanted to kill him.
I just...
I don't understand. Why do you protect her?
Because... I'm her mother.
That's what we do.
I don't care what that girl does,
she's my daughter and I will always protect her.
-And what about my son? -What about your son?
I'm a mother too,
and I need to tell him what she did.
Yeah, well, no one will believe ya.
And...
if she finds out what you're trying to do...
then God help you and your son.
You want to know about Cherry?
Let me tell you about my daughter.
When she has her sights set on something, you better not interfere or God help you.
[on phone] She pretends to flatter you before you realize you're at war.
You've seen for yourself, Laura... she'll...
I know you don't want to speak to me, but this is urgent.
Will you just come over and we'll talk?

Well, they're going to be my family.

Do I need a reason?

-Hi, Laura. -He... Hey, Lilith.
Something's happened. You have to come to the gallery.
She smashed a glass into her head.
She wants people to think that I attacked her.
-Right, OK, and did you report that? -Listen, I reported her slashing my tires
and they didn't take that seriously.
-OK. -It's targeted at me, sir.
She... she threatened me in my own gallery.
Look, I absolutely hear ya.
I just want to ask a few more questions just about the gallery if that's ok?
-OK. Just give me one second. -[police] Yeah, of course.
Lilith, look at... she's gone too far. I mean, look at what she's done!
She broke in in the middle of the night and did this to your paintings.
She's out of her fucking mind.
You know what? She's not getting away with this, no fucking way.
-What's happened to you? -What do you mean?
This is perfect. This is exactly the proof we needed.
We've got her!
I can't do this, I don't... I don't even know who you've become.
-Lilith... -Don't touch me!
You know what you've lost? Your fucking empathy.
You are fucked.

Wait, wait, shouldn't we wait for your mum?

-Yeah. -Oh, Cherry, I'm sorry.
No, it's fine.
It's fine, I just want to... have a nice time.
-Love you. -Love you.
-Hello? -Hello? Hello!
[Cherry] Hello! Thank you so much for coming.
As most of you know, Daniel and I haven't had the easiest of journeys.
But, we made it!
It turns out it only takes a near-fatal blow to the head
for a man to realise that you're the one.
[guests laugh]
Brigitte, take note!
Daniel, I will follow you anywhere...
As long as it's not rock-climbing again.
Oh, I was thinking, for our honeymoon, we could...
Cherry and I make a pretty amazing team,
and she's a pretty amazing woman.
[tense music]
She's passionate, determined, but she's also...
-Thank you. -...insanely kind and loving.
She's pretty much the most incredible person I've ever met.

You make me so happy.
I didn't know what true happiness was before I met you.
Thank you for sticking by me.
-I love you. -I love you.
OK, OK, I know you all want to get to the drinking bit.

So without further ado, please raise your glasses,
to my ridiculously beautiful fiancée, Cherry.

Cheers.

-It's good to see you happy. -Oh, thank you.
-Thank you so much for coming. -It's OK.
Hello!
[Brigitte] Cherry, babe, ahhhh!
[Laura] I just need to speak to Daniel.
One of these days, you will have to let him go.
He's all I've got.
Aww, you and Daniel are so cute together, it literally makes me sick.
-Thank you, Brigitte. -The speech was amazing.
Thank you, I need to speak to Daniel for two seconds.
Oh, yep, of course.
[tense music]
Daniel?
Hey.
-Are you OK? -Did you know your mum was coming?
No... Wait, sh... she's here? Oh shit, OK, let me go and talk to her...
No, no, no, stay with me, stay with me, stay with me.
What's up?
Cherry, what's wrong?
Cherry?
What the fuck are the police doing here?
-Cherry Laine? -Yeah.
I'm arresting you on suspicion of criminal damage.
You do not have to say anything, but it may harm your defence
if you do not mention when questioned something you later rely on in court.
Anything you do say may be given in evidence.
Excuse me, what the hell is going on?
No, Daniel, it's fine, I'm just going to go with them.
Wait, what? She's done nothing wrong!
-[Howard] Hold on. -It's our fucking engagement party!
[Daniel] You did this, didn't you?
Didn't you?!
-Sweetheart, listen, she's dangerous. -No. No, no, no.
There's CCTV evidence of a woman your height and your build.
I was at my mum's.
Ask her. Check my phone.
We will.
I think there's a pattern to suggest that you've been harassing Laura Sanderson.
Like I said, I have an alibi.
And the pattern is the other way around, she's been harassing me.
I'm not the only one.
Have you seen what's been said about her online? She's a bully.
What about that woman who's suing her for unfair dismissal?
Surely she has access to the gallery?
She hates Laura.
I think her name is... is Harriet.
Ha... Harriet Bancroft.
Daniel, I know you're angry.
But if you just please listen to what I have to say to you,
you will understand, OK?
I've spoken to Cherry's mum. Please call me.
[gasps]
Moses! Oh my God!
Oh, honey! You're home.
Oh, sweetheart, here, baby.
I'm going to go close the window so you don't get out again.
[Daniel on phone] Cherry, they won't let me see you.
I'll... I'll come back and try again.
I love you.
What did you say?
I said you stuck with me.
Heard you snoring through the walls. I never got any kip.
OK, thank you. I'm sorry...
No, don't, Cherry! You knew exactly what you were doing.
I told you to keep away from that boy, but you never listen.
But we love each other! What do you expect me to do?
It's not love, it's ambition.
He doesn't even know who you are.
What's that supposed to mean?
Mum!
She knows about your dad, Cherry, she knows everything.
She's, uh, she's going to tell him. I'm not going to lie for you.
Not this time. I never should've done all those years ago.
It's not done you any good. Cherry, please don't,
-you're gonna regret, you always... -Mum!
[Tracey sighs]
[Tracey] Fuck's sake, Cherry.
[door shuts]
[tense music]

[Daniel] Mum.
Thank God it's you.
I've just come from the police station,
where my fiancée is being treated like a criminal.
I know, Daniel, just listen to me. I spoke to Cherry's mother.
No, I'm not... I'm not here to listen, I'm here to tell you that I'm done.
But I've... I've got evidence, and I just want you to hear one thing...
Oh my God, when will you stop? You had Cherry arrested!
She's in a fucking holding cell, like, what more do you want?
You couldn't let me have the one thing I actually wanted for myself.
Sweetheart, I've spent my whole life giving you everything you wanted.
No, everything you wanted.
The education, the travel, even my clothes, for fuck's sake.
You've... you've curated my whole fucking life.
But you never... told me you were unhappy.
Yeah, because I didn't want to upset you.
Everything I did was to keep you happy.
"Don't upset Mum, she can't take it."
I had to be your perfect golden boy every single day.
-You just had to be you, Daniel. -No!
I had to be me and Rose.
I can't fucking breathe around you, Mum.
I have to put myself on the edge of a fucking cliff
just to feel some sense of freedom, don't... don't you think that's strange?
I always tried to be the son you wanted. I did everything you expected of me.
I just wanted to protect you.
No, you wanted to control me!
[she pants]
OK, I get it.
You had to choose one of us...
and you've chosen her.
I shouldn't have to choose.
I know.
Life isn't fair.
But just know, you're always going to be my baby boy.
[nostalgic music]
I'm going to miss you.
So much.
I will never stop loving you.
OK.
I need to get back to the station.
OK.
Daniel...
I just, I want you to know I know I haven't been well.
And... I can see that, now.
Yeah, well, you need to get some help.
I will, I promise.
Good.
Um, buddy, will you just stay with me for five minutes?
Let's have a proper goodbye.
Just have a drink with me.
Please.
-Fine. -Yeah?
Daniel!
Daniel?
[tense music]
Daniel?
I'm just going to get some ice, OK?
Honey, I just...
want to thank you so much for... for staying.
Really, your, your happiness is the only thing that matters to me.
Let's... toast to something.
You decide.
To endings.
"All good things must come to an end."
You always used to say that to me on the last day of the summer holidays.
I know, and you wanted it to go on forever.

-Mum, I don't feel good. -You're fine, honey. You're fine.
Let me help you.
It's OK.
It's OK. It's OK, sweetheart. You're going to be fine.

I need you to hear this one thing.

Where's Daniel?
-Where is he, Laura? -He's not here.
He took a cab about a half hour ago. Did you not see him at home?
What did you say to him?
What did you tell him?
He knows everything, Cherry.
He's leaving you.
You should just go home and see for yourself.
-He's packed his bags, and... -Drop the act, Laura!
He doesn't want to spend another moment with you.
And, and I'm sorry. I, I, I really am.
Why do you hate me?
You hated me from the moment I walked through that door, why?
That's not true.
-Why didn't you just give me a chance? -You've had so many chances.
I don't understand, I'm, I'm intelligent. I'm polite. I adore your son. I, I...
What more do you want? How many more boxes do I have to tick?
Are you just jealous that I could have everything that you've got
without the trust fund or the degree?
-I wanted to like you, Cherry. -Then why all of this?
Because I won't lose my son.
Well, you didn't have to lose him. This could've been fine.
Why the fuck are you flinching? What are you scared of?
I've seen what you did to your father. Have you ever fessed up to what you did?
No, he deserved it.
Oh.
There she is.
You have a violent nature, Cherry.
What do you think's going to happen when I'm gone?
You need to leave.
You think he's never going to move out? Never going to meet another woman?
You going to keep him a child forever?
Leave or I'm calling the police right now.
No you're fucking not.
[Daniel, muffled] Mum?
[music intensifies]
Oh my God, Daniel, Daniel!
Daniel, can you hear me?
Is that Cherry?
Come on, let's get you up.
Just put your weight onto me.
Well done, well done, that's it. What the fuck have you done to him, Laura?
He needed to hear the truth, and I need to protect him from you.
-You're fucking insane. -Get off of him!
No! Fuck! No.
Laura! No!
Laura! Fuck! Laura, let me out!
Ah, fuck.
-[muffled] Fuck's sake, Laura. -Sweetheart, let me help you.
-Laura, let me out, please! -Come on.
Up, up, up. Come here.
I got ya.
-OK, just lie down. -[Cherry knocks loudly]

[muffled] Laura, for fuck's sake!
Fuck.
[music intensifies]
Get back.
I said get back!
What are you doing? Have you lost your mind?
I want you out of his life.
Laura, this isn't you, you're not a violent person.
This is all your fault. You've driven me to this.
[muffled] I warned you, Cherry.
I'm not trying to hurt you, I just need to go and see if Daniel's OK.
He doesn't fucking need you!
-[Laura] You destroyed my family. -Cherry?
[Cherry grunts] Fuck!
[music intensifies]
[they pant and gasp]
[Cherry] Help!
[Laura] You little bitch.
Stop, stop!
Mum! Get off her!
Cherry, did she hurt you?
Cherry, are you OK?

What is it? Is it under there?

Daniel, this is for you, I'm going in to see Cherry's mum right now.
To get the truth, for you. I love you.
[Tracey] You want to know about Cherry?
Let me tell you about my daughter.
When she has her sights set on something, you better not interfere or God help ya.
As you've seen for yourself, Laura,
she'll glass herself in the face just to win.
Oh, believe me, she's done worse. Not only to her father.
But to the kids in school who took her toys.
Or to the boy who stood her up at the college dance.
And as for him... God...
that poor boy.
So you tell your son, don't be fooled by the good times.
Sooner or later, she'll want something from you that you're not prepared to give.
And then... well...
[Laura] Well what?
[Tracey] She'll find a way to get rid of you.
