00:11Dad? Where the hell are you?
00:19Aria. Sorry to keep you.
00:22So, what do we think?
00:24It's perfect.
00:25And your father?
00:27I'm stuck in court.
00:28Okay.
00:28I'm taking over the firm in a couple of months.
00:31It's my call.
00:33How about that view?
00:35A hard no to 8 million.
00:37Divorce is supposed to be equitable.
00:38So, leave both parties with a fair and even distribution of assets.
00:42That's all I'm asking for here, Becca.
00:43Some fairness. Some decency.
00:46Why don't we just agree to meet at 11 million?
00:49No to nine, but we may consider 10.5 if you'd throw in the apartment in Saint Tropez.
00:59Excellent.
01:00Confirming open for respondents and send over the revised agreement first thing.
01:04And I guess I was scared.
01:07Be gone, fail me now.
01:11I got to stand my ground.
01:17Hey.
01:17Guess you just settled the Prasad case.
01:20Oh, that's amazing.
01:20I knew you could.
01:21I told you, didn't I?
01:23How about the viewing?
01:24How was that?
01:24Oh, Neil.
01:25It's perfect.
01:26Like, right in the middle of the legal district.
01:29Floor to ceiling views of the city.
01:31There's so much light.
01:32That sounds incredible.
01:32I guess we're moving then.
01:34It's exactly where I want to be when I'm running the place.
01:37Annoying Dad didn't show up.
01:40Sodom.
01:40This is the place.
01:41I know it.
01:43Well, you probably just got held up with a new associate.
01:45Excuse me?
01:47I've only just found out if that makes any better.
01:49Well, I'm going to kill him.
01:51Can you maybe do it later?
01:52I just need you to swim by the boardroom for a minute.
01:54What for?
01:55Well, actually, it's a surprise.
01:57Well, I hate surprises.
01:59Yeah, that's unfortunate.
02:00Hey!
02:03Surprise!
02:04What's all this?
02:05Brace yourself.
02:07Consider this an affectionate intervention.
02:10Come on.
02:10Champagne.
02:10Here you go.
02:11Give me your bag.
02:12Okay.
02:13Come on, Truth.
02:15Arya, Beatty.
02:17You went above and beyond when your mother became unwell.
02:22And postponed your marriage and took time off work.
02:26Moved out of Neil's to go home and care for Mum?
02:28Yes, yes.
02:29And stayed to make sure that I was okay.
02:33And helping me keep Kishin Law at the top of its game.
02:37But it's been six months.
02:38And my son tells me that you've been too busy to even think about getting the wedding back on track.
02:44Well, I've been on the Prasad case all month.
02:47Headhunting a new associate who I hear you hired without consulting me instead of coming to the viewing.
02:53Well, you can't have a wedding without an engagement.
02:55So we'll start with the chunni.
02:58Tomorrow evening.
03:01That's not enough time.
03:03Everything is taken care of.
03:04I had Gab steal your wedding holder a couple of weeks ago.
03:08And all your wishes have been followed.
03:10To a D.
03:13A bloody intervention.
03:15Don't freak out now.
03:16It's a bit late for that one.
03:18You got it.
03:19Bye.
03:21You didn't think to give me a heads up?
03:23Neil begged me not to.
03:24What could I do?
03:26You know the power of his puppy dog eyes more than anyone.
03:28I don't have time right now for a wedding.
03:30Or a honeymoon.
03:31Or bloody babies.
03:33What's the rush?
03:33You've been together since you were 18.
03:35It's so hot in here.
03:36I can't breathe.
03:40Just put the poor man out of his misery for God's sake.
03:44I mean, look at me and Michael.
03:46Wedded bliss.
03:54I know it's hard without Mum.
04:02She wouldn't want you to put your life on hold, you know.
04:06I knew that would stress the hell out of you.
04:08Which is why I've asked Maya here if she would be kind enough to take you out for a drink.
04:11Whilst I help Mum with the logistics.
04:14I'm gonna leave you to it.
04:15Good luck.
04:19You all ambushed me.
04:21Technically, we did, you're right.
04:22I just don't think now's the right time to be splitting focus.
04:26I get it, work's important.
04:28But frankly, I'm just not too sure how much longer I can fend off the women of Manchester.
04:33Personally, if I were you, I'd put a ring on it fast.
04:36Idiot.
04:37I just wanna marry you before I get senile, is that so wrong?
04:47Just no more surprises, please.
04:50Yeah.
04:51Yeah, deal.
04:55Go and help your mum.
04:56Go and have that drink.
04:57Go.
04:58Don't.
04:59Go, go, go.
05:20Go and have that drink.
05:21Go, go and have that drink.
05:24Go, go.
05:26Go, go, go, go, go.
05:28Hi.
05:35What are you doing here?
05:38Luke.
05:39Dhruv.
05:40Hey, welcome. Good, you've met Arya.
05:42Yes, actually, we've met before.
05:45Oh, really? When?
05:46Oh, it was, um...
05:49Uh...
05:49Was at a conference.
05:54Sorry, why are you here?
05:56Meet our new senior associate.
06:00You didn't know I was coming?
06:01Quite no matter. You're here now.
06:03Uh, come on through. I'll bring you up to speed.
06:08I'll see you in the morning.
06:16You ready?
06:17Thirsty.
06:19Yeah, just...
06:21Give me a minute.
06:24We're gonna miss the two-for-one spicy mugs.
06:51We're gonna miss the two-for-one spicy mugs.
06:55Mmm...
06:58Mmm...
07:00Mmm...
07:01Mmm...
07:02Mmm...
07:03Mmm...
07:04Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
07:35Oh, no, no, no.
08:04Oh, no, no, no, no.
08:34Morning.
08:36Hey, where are you coming from?
08:38I may have met a nice accountant called Eric on the tram journey home.
08:42Oh, let's hope you pass your exams next time so you can get your own place so you can do
08:45your shagging where your clothes live.
08:47Oh, I'm motivational, thanks.
08:48Shouldn't your results have come through by now?
08:50Any day now, you'll be the first to know.
08:52Where's Dad?
08:52I had an early conference call in the office, so we'd meet him at the temple.
08:55We need to leave now, actually.
08:58Oh, my God, look.
09:00Tash is, of course, one half of celebrity couple Tash and Alex, whose Marriage Works podcast has more than three
09:07million monthly listeners.
09:08It's knowing that in a world full of uncertainty that you've chosen someone to face the chaos with, and that's
09:16what we're talking about when we say marriage works.
09:18Because it's never going to be easy.
09:19No relationship is, but...
09:21Turns out marriage doesn't work, even if you're national treasures.
09:25This is going to be huge.
09:29Linda, have you seen the news?
09:31Has Dad reached out yet?
09:33Can you call him now?
09:35Offer him a consultation ASAP.
09:37Bye.
09:40Dad not available?
09:40He's backed up this morning, but he wouldn't want us to delay.
09:45Not when it's a friend of his.
09:47Let's start preparing a containment strategy.
09:49Also, set up a meeting with Rep Man midday.
09:52Are you writing this down?
09:54Rep Man meeting midday?
09:55I got it.
09:56Hey, you guys heart, right?
09:59Met him yesterday.
10:00Yeah?
10:01You're into that kind of look?
10:04Well, like heart.
10:05A heart look.
10:10And remember, you've chosen each other for a reason.
10:13Go back there.
10:18How's Gandhi?
10:19We're here.
10:20To set up the marquee.
10:21For your engagement party?
10:22Of course.
10:23In you go, in you go.
10:24Come.
10:25In, in, in.
10:26Mind the carpet.
10:29I can't wait for you to see the lehenga I've chosen for you for tonight.
10:33It's out of this world.
10:36Hello.
10:37Hey auntie.
10:38Why are you just standing there?
10:40What are you waiting for?
10:41How do you...
10:44Why are you walking so fast?
10:45It's up on a lake.
10:46It's not fair.
10:48How do you rock up looking on a Vanity Fair and I had to throw up in a bin outside
10:51Costa?
10:52I feel fine.
10:52Had a run and everything.
10:54Weren't you wearing that yesterday?
10:55He's literally doing the walk of shame to God's house.
10:58When are you going to start behaving like an actual grown-up?
11:00Since when I was being a grown-up, I mean I can't have sex.
11:03Namaste aunties.
11:06Shit, do either of you have an apple?
11:07I don't have an apple.
11:10Fruit is fruit.
11:10God won't care.
11:34You're late.
11:38It's two minutes past.
11:42Exactly.
12:00ORCHESTRA PLAYS
12:21ORCHESTRA PLAYS
12:27ORCHESTRA PLAYS
12:27Six months is hard to believe
12:48I wonder what she'd say if she was here?
12:53She'd have something to say about those trousers you're wearing, that's for sure.
12:58What's wrong with my trousers? She loved these trousers.
13:01No, she didn't.
13:03Did you never wonder why she'd always ask if you've just got back from the gym?
13:06You're a very sporty spy, circa 96.
13:11Why didn't you...
13:12Why didn't any of you tell me?
13:14We just... We didn't want to hurt your feelings.
13:16You were really feeling yourself at the time.
13:20I hate you, Bo.
13:21Shh.
13:25It's true.
13:30Not even God likes those trousers.
13:39Alex Edwards is coming in this morning.
13:41I take you heard the news?
13:42When did he reach out?
13:44Oh, we reached out, offered him a consult.
13:47Did we?
13:48How did you not know?
13:48I wanted to get in there early.
13:51Cal was just filling me in on the Alex and Tash situation.
13:53You should hit the new flame with a gagging order and make sure she doesn't go running to the press.
13:56Oh, she's getting bored of the home life.
13:59Missing the action, are we?
14:00Endless late nights in the office.
14:01Drowning in applications and surviving on coffee alone for days.
14:04No, I'm not. Thank you very much.
14:06Okay, let's go.
14:07Bye, Dad.
14:08Love you, Dad.
14:09Love you.
14:10Bye.
14:13Go live your best life.
14:16I will.
14:22We were supposed to do all the hiring together from now on.
14:25Well, you were in court and he was about to be snapped up by firms.
14:27Dad, we agreed I should choose.
14:30I'm going to be running the firm.
14:31In three months, you couldn't find anyone who would match your standards.
14:35Luke comes highly recommended.
14:37His background is in financial forensics, which, as you know, would be incredibly useful.
14:41Harshika wants to know if you have a preference of ginger or cardamon chive at the journey.
14:46Alex Edwards is downstairs.
14:49I don't have time this morning, Linda.
14:51For now, Aria can handle the initial consultation.
14:54Please pass on my apologies to him.
14:57Right, well, I think I'm just going to go down there now and walk him up.
15:00How's my hair look?
15:02Fit.
15:04Notify the juniors.
15:05No hanging around the hallways.
15:06Please, would be nice.
15:08Cardamon.
15:10And change your shirt.
15:12Hey, Aria.
15:14When you've got a minute, it'd be good to clear the air.
15:17Yeah, sorry, I have a client.
15:20And can we keep things strictly professional, please?
15:23Yeah, yeah, sure.
15:28So lovely to see you.
15:30I'm sorry about the circumstances.
15:32Aria.
15:35Your dad not joining?
15:36He got caught up, unfortunately.
15:39Actually, I wondered if he wouldn't mind if you might represent me for this.
15:43Tash and I have known him for years.
15:45I wouldn't want him to have to take sides.
15:48How can I help?
15:50I presume you've seen the pictures.
15:54I have.
15:56Have you spoken to Tash since the story broke?
16:01I don't know what to say.
16:02They won't come out wrong.
16:03They won't make everything worse.
16:06Have you tried counseling?
16:09Having a third party there to help?
16:11We've written books on the subject.
16:13I don't know when something's broke beyond fixing.
16:15No.
16:16I want to file for divorce,
16:17and I want you to help me do that as quickly as possible.
16:20Of course.
16:22I'll start preparing the necessary documents.
16:30We met when I was 19.
16:34Working in a chippy.
16:37I didn't know what I was doing or where I was going.
16:40And then she turned up and just...
16:45made sense of it all.
16:49I'm so sorry you're going through this.
16:53I'll be honest.
16:54Divorce is like cutting off a limb.
16:57There'll be days that you'll feel like you won't make it to the other side.
17:00But trust me,
17:02you will get through this.
17:05And I'll be there every step of the way.
17:11I just don't know who I am without her.
17:17He wants to serve.
17:19No.
17:19Once we file,
17:20reach out to the other side,
17:21see if they'll agree to an emergency roundtable.
17:23Last thing we want isn't feeding any nonsense to the press.
17:26Also,
17:26pull up the Macklin Macklin file from 2017.
17:28Oh, is that influencers hanging around outside again?
17:31For fuck's sake,
17:32not again.
17:38No, no, Ashok.
17:39I told you before,
17:40we don't want gossip vultures round here.
17:42I prefer the term truth teller.
17:45So,
17:45has he left yet?
17:46Alex Edward has saw his car out front earlier.
17:49Are you representing him?
17:50You're wasting your time,
17:51as usual.
17:52Nothing to say to you.
17:53There'll be a load more paps behind me.
17:55Why are you following me?
17:57I'm not asking for much.
17:58Just a few minutes of your time.
17:59One minute, exactly.
18:01Right, let me talk to Alex.
18:02Help get his side out first.
18:04Do you know why I became a family lawyer?
18:05You have an appetite for financially crippling
18:08the heartbroken men and women of Manchester?
18:10Because I believe that everyone deserves
18:12to go through the most painful moments of their lives
18:14with dignity.
18:15Meanwhile,
18:16you exploit them for likes and clicks.
18:18That's not true.
18:18My channel is about giving people
18:20the information they deserve to know.
18:22Please,
18:23Time magazine,
18:23you are not.
18:24No,
18:24but I do have a shitload of followers
18:26who would love to know what Alex has to say.
18:28I neither confirm or deny
18:29that I represent that particular individual.
18:31Oh, come on.
18:32We both know you're becoming the go-to
18:33for Manchester's A-listers.
18:35Is that your attempt at flattery?
18:36Depends.
18:37Did it work?
18:39You do know
18:39the new transparency laws
18:41are getting low down eventually.
18:42You let him in?
18:43Minutes up.
18:44You can see yourself out.
18:47Leave then.
18:48You're not nice.
18:53Arie,
18:54what did you want?
18:55Scandal,
18:56as usual.
18:57Um,
18:58capacity meeting is in 15.
18:59Breakdown figures?
19:00Um,
19:01of course.
19:02Yeah,
19:02I'll just grab them now.
19:03Vinda!
19:04Sorry.
19:05This week was one of our biggest.
19:07We had three successful freezing injunctions
19:08and yesterday,
19:10Arya settled the Prasad deal
19:11for 10.5 million.
19:13Well done.
19:16And this morning,
19:17I closed the Chancery case
19:18at 26.
19:19Well done.
19:26And I've just received instructions
19:28from Alex Edwards.
19:30Hmm.
19:31Where are we with prenups?
19:34Ten,
19:35currently in process,
19:36along with three challenges
19:37on family estates
19:38and five will alterations.
19:40Okay.
19:40And Dubai?
19:41We won jurisdiction
19:42in the Martell case,
19:43just waiting on the court dates.
19:44Excellent.
19:45Good work.
19:47Apologies.
19:47HR kept me longer than expected.
19:50Everyone,
19:50this is Luke Christos,
19:52our new senior associate.
19:54Luke here is a trailblazer
19:55when it comes to financial forensics
19:57and will be working closely with me.
19:59Thank you, Drew.
20:00I'm excited to be here.
20:02You were saying?
20:04Just,
20:05um,
20:07the skeleton argument
20:09on the Seth appeal.
20:11There's quite a lot to get through,
20:13so Linda will let the juniors
20:15know what area they've been assigned.
20:19which just
20:20leaves the subject
20:21of the new premises
20:22when Dad retires.
20:25I viewed a property yesterday
20:26and I'm thrilled to say
20:27it surpassed my expectations.
20:29Well, obviously,
20:30there are a lot of things
20:30we need to weigh up
20:31before we commit to a relocation,
20:33but we will keep you all informed.
20:35That's it for now.
20:36Thank you very much.
20:37Go.
20:43Hey,
20:43I thought you could, uh,
20:44show me around.
20:45Uh,
20:46sorry, I can't.
20:47I'm busy.
20:48Neil Sharma,
20:49senior associate.
20:51I'll give you the grand tour
20:52between you and me.
20:53I know where they hide the good biscuits.
20:54That's great.
21:00Dad,
21:01can we talk about this?
21:01Ginny's a friend.
21:03Ginny's a friend.
21:03She kept it off the market
21:04as a personal favor.
21:05They all say that.
21:06Still,
21:07people are expecting
21:08your retirement.
21:10I mean,
21:10even the big clients
21:11are coming to me now.
21:12Is that the same as
21:12poaching them from behind my back?
21:14If it's Alex you're referring to,
21:16I didn't poach him.
21:17He requested
21:18I represent him.
21:20And regardless,
21:21it makes sense
21:22to announce me
21:23as managing partner
21:24at the same time
21:24as a location change.
21:26And let the clients
21:27get their head around
21:28a brand new start
21:29for Kishan Law.
21:30I'd like to get
21:31Luke's thoughts on this.
21:33Luke?
21:34He's barely in the door.
21:36He...
21:36Oh.
21:39Yeah.
21:40No, we got the papers.
21:42Yeah, I've been through them.
21:45We should definitely talk.
21:46Over time,
21:47it becomes less about
21:49romance in the cinematic sense.
21:51We're not saying
21:52it's not normal
21:53to have your head turned
21:54sometimes.
21:55Of course,
21:56but what's important
21:57is that you don't mistake
21:58that initial
21:59flutter of desire
22:00as anything
22:01other than that.
22:06What are you doing?
22:09Just looking for something.
22:11Aye.
22:12Oh, I've got the linger.
22:13I'm very nasty silk.
22:15No expense spared.
22:16Just one sec.
22:23Hey.
22:24Just wondering
22:25where you're putting
22:26the new guy.
22:27Office next to yours.
22:28Luke's finally been fixed.
22:29He's causing quite a stir
22:31with the paralegals.
22:32Although,
22:33from what I hear,
22:34the lad has an eye
22:34for the ladies.
22:36Where'd you hear that?
22:36A woman in HR
22:37in his old firm.
22:38She called him
22:38the Casanova of Canary Wharf.
22:41Still,
22:42don't think I'd cook him
22:43out of bed
22:43for eating crisps.
22:54aren't there lots of other women
22:55that you could be stalking?
22:57Yes,
22:57but they all took out
22:58restraining orders.
23:00So,
23:01look,
23:02I didn't know that you worked here
23:03until after I was offered the job.
23:05And you didn't think
23:05to walk away at that point?
23:07No,
23:08because I thought
23:09that you had a hand
23:11in my being
23:12head-hunted,
23:13which I see now
23:13is clearly not the case.
23:14No,
23:15I didn't mention you
23:15to anyone.
23:16Why would I?
23:18Well,
23:18that's great.
23:21Clearly,
23:22you made a wonderful impression.
23:28Did my dad
23:29give you that?
23:30Yeah,
23:31yeah,
23:31he asked me
23:31to look through it.
23:32And?
23:33Well,
23:34I don't feel comfortable
23:35discussing it
23:35without him present.
23:37Are you kidding me?
23:38I wrote the bloody thing.
23:39Yeah,
23:39but he is my boss.
23:40Not for long.
23:42Sorry to interrupt.
23:44Hello,
23:45I'm Maya,
23:45the older sister.
23:46You must be Luke.
23:47Yes,
23:47hi.
23:48Yeah.
23:49Uh,
23:49don't we have a
23:50thing to try on?
23:52So,
23:52it was nice to meet you.
23:53Lovely to meet you.
23:56What was that in there?
23:58What do you mean?
23:58You were only in there
23:59for ten seconds,
24:00but you looked like
24:00you were about to
24:00punch him in the face,
24:01which is a record
24:02even for you.
24:04Oh,
24:04God.
24:06Is it on?
24:06If you laugh,
24:07I will kill you.
24:08Oh,
24:08would I ever.
24:08Just come out.
24:12Oh,
24:13God.
24:14It's so bad.
24:15You were the worst
24:16of the worst sisters.
24:17You look like
24:18the dancing emoji.
24:19Oh,
24:19this is exactly
24:20why I didn't marry
24:21an Indian boy.
24:22I have zero
24:23mother-in-law
24:24obligations.
24:25You can't even
24:25walk in it.
24:26So heavy.
24:27Oh,
24:28God.
24:29Okay,
24:29okay.
24:30I'll get it to
24:31my tailor.
24:32There's no time.
24:33Well,
24:33she'll do it.
24:34Basically helped
24:34her whole family
24:35with their wills
24:36without charging
24:37her a penny.
24:38So,
24:38what's the deal
24:39with this
24:40hot new guy
24:41I've seen?
24:41Married,
24:42divorced,
24:43gay?
24:44How would I know?
24:46Can we not talk
24:47about him?
24:48Okay.
24:49You need to take
24:50this off,
24:50because it's
24:50hurting my eyes.
24:54Linda,
24:54can you see
24:55if we received
24:55a list
24:56of Tash
24:56and Alex's
24:57shared account
24:57so I can
24:58scan them
24:58before we
24:58meet?
24:59Already done.
25:00Why are
25:01Hallett sending
25:01someone all the
25:02way up from
25:02London to
25:03represent Tash?
25:04It's a power play.
25:05They know the
25:06whole country's
25:06going to be
25:06tuning into this
25:07one,
25:08and celebrity
25:08cases are
25:09Zoya Basu's
25:10bread and butter.
25:10Hot shot then,
25:11is she?
25:12She's got a
25:12reputation of
25:13getting away,
25:14but not to
25:14worry.
25:15So do I.
25:29Can I pick you
25:30up at eight?
25:31I've found a place
25:32that does better
25:33baklava than my
25:34nan.
25:35You can't just
25:35ask me out.
25:37Why not?
25:37Is that not how
25:39dating usually works?
25:40Because it's not
25:41appropriate,
25:42given the
25:43circumstances.
25:44What, me
25:45asking you out?
25:46Yes, that,
25:47exactly that.
25:48Okay.
25:50Okay, all right.
25:51I will try not to.
25:52That better?
25:55Yes, no,
25:56well,
25:56it was just
26:01one weekend.
26:04It was just
26:05sex.
26:06Much like
26:07your usual
26:08conquests,
26:09I imagine.
26:10No,
26:11actually,
26:13our encounter
26:14stood out
26:15from the
26:16throne.
26:21I mean,
26:22I'm happy to
26:22go through
26:22the reasons
26:23why.
26:24If you're
26:25free.
26:25No.
26:26Sorry,
26:27am I
26:27interrupting?
26:29No.
26:31We're done
26:32here.
26:32In that case,
26:33I need you
26:33to take a look
26:34at the menu
26:34for the
26:34chunny.
26:35What's a
26:36chunny?
26:37Punjabi
26:37engagement party.
26:38Oh,
26:39cool.

26:41who's getting
26:41married?
26:44We are.
26:48Wow.
26:50That's great.
26:52That's really
26:53great.
26:54Congratulations.
26:54Thank you,
26:55thank you.
26:55Only took her
26:56ten years or so
26:57to say yes.
26:58Wow.
26:59Have you been
26:59together that
27:00long?
27:00We are.
27:03Zoya Basu is

27:04Great.
27:05Excuse me.
27:09Oh,
27:09you should come

27:14Oh,
27:14well,

27:15we would love
27:16to have you
27:16there.
27:16If nothing
27:17else,
27:17it would be
27:17a great chance
27:18for you to
27:18meet the rest
27:18of the team.
27:19Yeah,
27:19yes.
27:20If I finish
27:21at a reasonable
27:22hour,
27:23I'd swing by.
27:24Yeah.
27:25Good man.
27:30I think
27:30if we
27:31take those
27:32two paragraphs
27:32and then
27:33change the...
27:35Yes,
27:36in fact,
27:36just a copy
27:36and distribute
27:37all of them.
27:37Okay.
27:39Good night.
27:41That is just
27:42sparking applause.
27:43Zoya.
27:44Arya Kishan.
27:45And this is
27:46my brother,
27:46Kav.
27:47Hi.
27:48So great
27:48to finally
27:48meet you.
27:50Cool portrait.
27:52Very neat
27:53of the establishment.
27:54More my
27:55father's taste
27:56than mine.
27:56Just give us
27:57a moment.
27:58Sure.
28:00Great shoes.
28:02I know.
28:06Pasha's lawyer's
28:07here.
28:07Don't let her
28:08intimidate you.
28:09Look her in the eye
28:10and let me do
28:10the talking.
28:12Good to see you.
28:18Pleasure to meet you,
28:19Mr Edwards.
28:20Sorry I'm late.
28:22Had to go around
28:23the block twice
28:23to dodge the paps.
28:25Ridiculous.
28:26Not as ridiculous
28:27as you having an affair
28:28with someone
28:28half your age.
28:29Oh,
28:30so this is how
28:31it's going to be.
28:31Handbags at dawn.
28:33And it's not just
28:34an affair.
28:35Can we just get on
28:36with this?
28:37We received
28:38the sole divorce
28:39application
28:39from Mr Edwards
28:40this morning.
28:42You should know
28:43that my client
28:44plans to contest it.
28:47As you well know,
28:49Miss Pursuit,
28:49contesting a divorce
28:50is almost impossible
28:51since the no-fault
28:52legislation.
28:53There are grounds
28:53on which it may be
28:54considered by the court.
28:55Limited grounds.
28:57Tash,
28:58contesting a divorce
28:58is time-consuming
28:59and financially draining.
29:02Frustrating as he can be.
29:04I love my husband
29:06and I have done
29:07for over 40 years.
29:08Then why be
29:09throwing everything away
29:10for a midlife crisis fling?
29:12I'm well past midlife
29:13and I'm tired
29:14of people pleasing.
29:17I just want to be honest
29:18about who I am
29:19and what I want
29:20from now on.
29:22I love her.
29:23Forgive me.
29:24I'm confused.
29:25You clearly want
29:25a relationship
29:26with this woman.
29:27Why would you want
29:27to contest the petition?
29:28Because I don't want
29:29a divorce.
29:33I want an open marriage.
29:36Is that some kind
29:37of joke?
29:37An open marriage
29:39for a couple
29:40whose entire brand
29:41is commitment
29:41and loyalty?
29:42That's not true.
29:43We've helped many couples
29:44negotiate open relationships.
29:49Can't we at least
29:50explore the possibility?
29:52Haven't you humiliated
29:53me enough?
30:01Why don't we all pause
30:02and take a lunch break
30:04to cool down?
30:05Sounds good.
30:06It'll be fine.
30:07Okay.
30:12I mean, do you really
30:13think contesting's
30:14in either of their
30:14best interests?
30:15Does it matter?
30:17It'll rack up plenty
30:18of billable hours,
30:18which I'm sure
30:19your father won't
30:20object to.
30:20Well, actually,
30:22we try to minimize
30:23conflict here.
30:24Maybe you should
30:25try it.
30:25Someone please
30:26eat these before
30:27I make myself sick.
30:28We have candy
30:29plus barfi,
30:30banoffee pie,
30:31and a whole array
30:32of other very confusing
30:33taste sensations.
30:34You always have
30:35Mithai in the office?
30:36Sadly, no.
30:37No, it's just
30:37a one-off.
30:38There is the most
30:39incredible place.
30:41It's in Delhi,
30:42near the station.
30:43Kamala's.
30:44Oh, you know?
30:46I'm here.
30:47I'm here.
30:50Sorry.
30:51This is Neil,
30:52my soon-to-be fiancé.
30:53Neil, this is
30:54Zoya Basu.
30:56Congratulations.
30:58Oh, nice to meet you.
31:00Oh, sorry.
31:01I have to take this.
31:02Hello?
31:03No, no, no.
31:04I'm on a break.
31:04Talk to me.
31:06Two weeks.
31:06No, no, no, no.
31:07Listen to me.
31:08Neil.
31:09I said I...
31:10I'm going to need
31:11a second pair of eyes
31:12on these financials.
31:13Sorry.
31:14I've got a meeting.
31:14That is literally
31:15why Luke's here,
31:16so...
31:24Natasha and Alex
31:25Superbrand.
31:25I need to know
31:26the financial implications
31:27should the marriage
31:27collapse.
31:28I know you've been
31:29across something
31:30similar,
31:31a Western Shapiro.
31:32Mm-hmm.
31:33Do you think you
31:33could look over
31:34the contracts
31:34and sponsorship deals?
31:35I'm concerned
31:36his net worth position
31:37may become unstable
31:38should they divorce.
31:39Yeah.
31:40Yeah, sure.
31:42Why didn't you
31:43tell me you were
31:44engaged?
31:54Technically,
31:55not until
31:55after the
31:56journey tonight
31:57and for the record,
31:59I was on a break
32:02when you and I...
32:03Right.
32:04Still,
32:05it's important to me
32:06that no one here
32:07finds out.
32:07Yeah, no,
32:08it's fine.
32:10I'm really not here
32:12to blow up your life.
32:17Yeah,
32:18and there's no reason
32:19we can't work together
32:20and we're professionals,
32:22right?
32:23No reason at all.
32:29your dad wants to see
32:30the wealth of you.
32:31Yeah.
32:38Look,
32:39I understand that
32:40your last firm
32:41experienced some issues
32:42when they were offscaling.
32:44Yeah,
32:45there were some
32:45teething issues
32:46around resource allocation
32:47and we did lose clients
32:49who preferred
32:50a more personal approach,
32:52but...
32:52We've been through this.
32:53I don't want us
32:54to just tread water
32:55for the next 30 years.
32:56We need this move
32:57to make my vision a reality.
32:58You know, Luke,
32:59when I arrived in this country,
33:01I just had one change of clothes
33:03and five pounds in my pocket.
33:05I had to work sometimes
33:06three jobs
33:07to pay my way
33:08through law school.
33:09Kishin Law
33:10is a result of a life
33:12of sacrifice
33:13and hard graft.
33:14So how it grows
33:15and what it represents
33:17is not something
33:18I ever take lightly.
33:20Mm-hmm.
33:23But
33:24let's leave it there.
33:33You know,
33:34there's a reason
33:35the dinosaurs
33:36became extinct.
33:37I know what I'm doing, Linda.
33:39Oh, don't be daft.
33:40She's right.
33:40You know she is.
33:55You know she is.
34:21If they divorce, the contract with the sponsor
34:24sees this with immediate effect
34:25and they forfeit 20% of the fee received to date.
34:2820%? That's a sizable amount.
34:32Have you ever seen someone work their way
34:34around one of these things?
34:35It's possible, but they're usually watertight.
34:38A divorce could leave them bankrupt.
34:40I'll speak to him ASAP. Thanks.
34:46How much are we talking?
34:47Could be in the region of 2 million.
34:53You could benefit from slowing things down
34:55just so that you have time to protect your assets.
35:00I don't know what's right.
35:03Our friendship, our legacy.
35:05That's the real cost here.
35:08Tasha's in so much pain
35:12because I'm forcing her into a divorce she doesn't want.
35:15But in an equal partnership, both people's feelings matter.
35:27You know, last year I was listening to your podcast
35:30when my mum was sick.
35:32I remember there was this one episode
35:34where there was a couple.
35:36One of them had cheated.
35:38and you said
35:39people usually stray
35:41because the relationship
35:43was already fractured.
35:48Tasha's my whole world.
35:50I know.
35:53You need to ask yourself
35:55would you prefer an imperfect marriage
35:57to an unknown future?
36:06If the marriage is to end,
36:08both parties will need to pay back the sponsor
36:10a sizable amount of money.
36:11In the region of 2 million.
36:14My client was not aware of this
36:16and I just had sight of this contract.
36:20What about our podcast?
36:23What about Marriage Works?
36:24If we divorce, it dies.
36:26We need to accept that we only make business sense
36:29as a couple.
36:30This is the end of the line.
36:33Before we go down that route,
36:37my client has a proposal
36:38we would like Mr. Edwards to consider.
36:41One that could save their brand
36:42and ensure financial stability.
36:45Dash is offering to terminate her relationship with Tilly,
36:49issuing a statement saying
36:51it was a lapse in judgment.
36:54Avoiding divorce altogether.
36:58Would Mr. Edwards consider
37:00giving the marriage another chance?
37:04I thought you loved her.
37:07I've loved you longer.
37:11You're my other half
37:12so if I have to choose,
37:14then I choose you.
37:18Why didn't you do that
37:20before any of this started?
37:22I guess I just got tired
37:26of seeing myself in your eyes.
37:30Comfortable, predictable,
37:32already fading out.
37:35She makes me feel
37:39everything.
37:43Like, the volume on life's been turned up again.
37:48Like, I'm not quite done yet.
37:54Okay.
37:55We'll go ahead with the divorce.
37:58Well, I've told you,
37:59I will contest it.
38:00No, you won't.
38:02What if this was just a turning point?
38:04You could fight
38:05to retain the careers
38:07that you've
38:08poured your hearts and souls into.
38:10I mean, it's your legacy.
38:11Right?
38:13You could fight for it
38:14despite your marriage ending.
38:17Why not tell your listeners the truth?
38:21Just be honest.
38:23See if they're willing to stand by you.
38:26You both deserve happiness
38:28without sacrificing everything
38:30you've worked so hard to build.
38:39I need you to be ready
38:40when your dad gets home.
38:41He's taking you to dance.
38:42Before you were taking me.
38:44I can't.
38:44I'm helping out
38:45while Aria Massey's chundering.
38:46He'll bring you there after.
38:47You know where they've forgotten.
38:48Hiya!
38:49There he is.
38:51Where are my little monkeys?
38:55How you getting on?
38:56How's your homework?
38:57Mm-hmm.
38:58Hey, sweetheart.
39:01That looks nice.
39:02Thanks.
39:03Hey, yeah.
39:05I know.
39:05I know.
39:06I know.
39:06I'm sorry.
39:07You're late.
39:07I know.
39:08The hearings ran late all morning.
39:11My half-day went out the window.
39:12How's the hangover?
39:13You're pulling.
39:14Thank you for asking.
39:16You might not see how I figured as much,
39:17so I stopped up at a corner shop
39:18from the way home
39:19and I got you these pieces of ring, yeah?
39:23Mm-hmm.
39:26Er, right.
39:27They've eaten.
39:29Please, don't forget
39:30to bring the chunny outfits
39:31when you're leaving.
39:34I told you you'd forget.
39:35I can't.
39:36I've got an urgent abduction application.
39:39Becca asked me to cast an ivory.
39:41I'm sorry.
39:41I'm supposed to be helping Aria.
39:42Yeah, well, Aria won't mind.
39:43She'll understand.
39:45I do all the pick-ups,
39:46the music lessons,
39:47the play date.
39:47Well, someone has to pay the bills.
39:50Yeah, well,
39:50the other one does
39:51absolutely everything else.
39:53I didn't mean that.
39:53Charby, grab your things,
39:54Danny's shoes.
39:55Leave the dishes.
39:55Your dad can do them
39:56when he gets home.
39:57Would you mind taking the bins out
39:58before you go?
39:58Yeah.
39:59Come on.
40:01See you later, mate.
40:02Bye, Charby.
40:10You'd think they made the right choice?
40:12I think there's something more honest
40:14in being able to admit
40:15who you are and what you want.
40:17Or maybe it's a dream,
40:19an impossible desire to have it all.
40:25I can't believe you had convinced her
40:27to give up her girlfriend.
40:29Made smart financial sense,
40:30but it would have broken her heart.
40:33My job is to advocate for my client.
40:36It's also not much fun being in love
40:37when you're bankrupt.
40:39I don't suppose we could lure you to Manchester.
40:42I'm taking over the firm,
40:43and I could deal with another brilliant woman
40:46on my team.
40:47Flooded.
40:48But, um,
40:50diming isn't quite right.
40:54Oh, Maya called.
40:56She's forgot to bring her outfit
40:57and asked if you could swing by her
40:58to pick it up.
40:59She said you know the spare keys.
41:01Sorry, it's my journey tonight.
41:02Oh, yes, of course.
41:03Why are you still here?
41:04I'm going.
41:07If you change your mind.
41:09Sure.
41:15We need to be very specific about it,
41:18so I'm just going to leave these on your desk,
41:20and I'll come back later.
41:40Just give me two minutes.
41:58What the actual fuck?
42:01This isn't Becca.
42:03I'm so sorry.
42:04Sorry.
42:04Wait, wait, wait.
42:05Aria.
42:06Aria, wait.
42:06Please.
42:07Wait.
42:07Wait.
42:08Wait, Aria.
42:09Please don't tell her.
42:10Please.
42:11You think I would keep this from her?
42:12No, no.
42:13Just...
42:13Please.
42:24Don't fucking help me.
42:32Got a minute?
42:34Of course.
42:34I just wanted to explain about...
42:36Aria.
42:37Nonny.
42:39You made an excellent choice.
42:44Tash never liked me drinking whiskey.
42:47Hated the smell.
42:51Oh.
42:54Oh.
42:55Look at you already finding the silver linings.
42:58Too soon?
43:05You know, I envy you, Alex.
43:08You can still argue with Tash.
43:11Raina just wins silently from the great beyond.
43:18To our wives.
43:20Between them, they covered every exit strategy going.
43:24He shot himself.
43:30Why?
43:30Good job.
43:32All right.
43:32Can you see?
43:33Yeah.
43:36All right.
43:42Yeah.
43:43What a funny.
43:44Yeah.
43:44Yeah.
43:45Yeah.
43:46Yeah.
43:48Yeah.
43:49Yeah.
44:18Oh, you're in here.
44:20Wow.
44:21I know.
44:25What's wrong with the dress? Does it not fit?
44:27I haven't even looked at it yet.
44:28God, it's so heavy.
44:34Oh, Arya, it's completely natural to have cold feet.
44:37Can I see?
44:39She hates the dress, but you look hot.
44:44Why do you hate the dress?
44:46It can't be worse than what you wore to prom.
44:49And she was deep in her emo face.
44:52It was goth chic, actually.
45:02I just...
45:06I didn't think I'd be doing any of this without her.
45:20I thought she'd be here to help.
45:25No one really knows what they're doing.
45:30The marriage is honestly just two people trying not to hurt each other over and over and over again.
45:42But it is worth it. I promise.
45:50Arya! Sweetie!
45:51Oh, for fuck's sake.
45:52Oh, God.
45:53OK, I'll cut off with a samosa, yeah?
45:56Don't be long.
46:02I had a wobble the night before my wedding, do you remember?
46:05What, you mean when you threw up peach snaps all over my bed?
46:08Yeah.
46:12Genuinely, though, I do think marrying Michael is one of the best decisions I've ever made.
46:18And you and Neil, you're just fit. You always have.
46:26Come on. I need to get that linger on you.
46:30Whoa!
46:31You just wait till Harsher sees what I've done to her dress.
46:40Fit.
47:21You look like a vision.
47:25So bad yourself.
47:28Your mother chose this suit.
47:30I was there.
47:31She haggled with the vendor for 45 minutes.
47:33Yes.
47:34She never lost a haggle in 30 years.
47:38But she insisted on being full price for this.
47:42She wanted me to give this to you tonight.
48:04I want you to know how much I appreciate everything you've done for me here since she left us.
48:10I know, Dad.
48:15But I know you can't stay here forever.
48:30So, you come here often?
48:32Nothing.
48:33It's not fair.
48:35It's what a man dreams of, isn't it?
48:37A lifetime of affectionate insults.
48:47You look stunning.
48:48You're done.
48:51You look fantastic.
48:52Oh, thank you.
48:53Oh, goody bitch.
48:54Oh, come on.
48:55It's okay.
48:56It's okay.
48:57Come on.
49:01Oh, wow.
49:02Arya.
49:04You put the stars to shame.
49:05You look absolutely beautiful.
49:07A little room of makeup.
49:10Oh, darling.
49:12Cheers.
49:13Cheers.
49:18Thanks for inviting me.
49:23Right, let's go and say hello to your aunties.
49:25Arya.
49:26Look who's here.
49:27Oh, thank you.
49:30Oh, my gosh.
49:32You look beautiful, sweetie.
49:34I am not going to tell you you look beautiful because you are more than that.
49:39Come here.
49:40Too tight.
49:41Sorry.
49:43I love you.
49:51Hi, love.
49:51How are you?
49:56Right, let's go and say grandad.
50:01So the couple who wrote the textbook on staying together have penned their final chapter.
50:06We wanted to be honest with you all.
50:08We're choosing a path to our own happiness.
50:10It's about being true to yourself, despite the odds.
50:15More power to your tash.
50:17Do you think, um, Harshtika might have gone a tad overboard with the catering?
50:23When are we going to find a lovely bride for you, Cam?
50:27Maybe in another life, Auntie.
50:29If you hear of a groom, then do let us know.
50:32In fact, I hear that your son is single.
50:34Again.
50:36Mubarak.
51:12Oh, that's your one.
51:19Lookie there, Neil.
51:25Oh, wow.
51:52About time.
51:53Thank you. Thank you, everybody, for joining us here.
52:06And bearing witness to these two young, beautiful people embarking on the greatest adventure of their lives.
52:15Arya, as a child, you were mischievous, curious, always running here, running there, and giving us a challenge or a
52:25surprise at every turn.
52:27We are so, so proud of you.
52:32Neil, you are more than anything, Raina and I could have imagined as a son-in-law.
52:38Thoughtful, loving, diligent, hardworking, loyal.
52:44Harshika, thank you so much for bringing your son into our lives.
52:47And that is why it gives me great comfort to announce that when I step down, I have now decided
52:55that Arya and Neil will be the joint managing partners of Kishin Law.
53:07I know that Kishin Law will be safe to bring both of you together at the helm.
53:13So please raise your glasses to Arya and Neil.
53:17Arya and Neil.
53:19Arya and Neil.
53:42What the fuck?
53:43I know.
53:44Why did he do that?
53:45There you go.
53:46Arya, please, please just try and enjoy tonight.
53:51Okay, look.
53:52This is about you and Neil starting your lives together.
53:57It's not about anyone else.
53:58It's definitely not about Dad.
54:01When Michael and I got married, we made a decision to always put each other first.
54:07My God, what's that come?
54:16When I went to the house earlier.
54:19Yeah, I know.
54:20He told me.
54:21She needed his help.
54:24It's not what I saw.
54:30I know you're nervous, but don't try and discredit my marriage just because you're looking for reasons to avoid one
54:35of your own.
54:37Whatever happens, I'm going to make sure you're okay.
54:40Arya, stop.
55:00I know you're not.
55:30I thought we had a plan plans change we have to adapt so you don't think I can do this
55:38alone
55:38there's not many people who could other than you right sometimes you lead too much with your
55:43emotions and that makes you unpredictable unpredictable yeah what do you call this

57:22One sec.
57:26Hey, hey. Are you okay?
57:28What happened?
57:31Why did you come in?
57:38I came because I wanted to see if there was more between us than just a one night stand.
57:49And?
57:52And you're getting married?
57:57Aren't you?
58:13I can't.
58:16It's just a conversation.
58:20Been a while since I felt so alive.
58:25Leaning on the stairwell as you lock your eyes on mine.
58:32They're closing up the bar now.
58:36Don't know how it got to closing time.
58:41Standing on the street then, the way you said goodbye.
58:46Oh-oh.
58:48Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
