- Plum! Plum, uh...
- Hey!
173
00:06:35,562 --> 00:06:37,855
Sorry, this is Ruari,
he's gonna be interning
174
00:06:37,856 --> 00:06:39,274
with us in the--
175
00:06:40,108 --> 00:06:41,192
Ruari, come over here.
176
00:06:42,235 --> 00:06:43,570
Sorry, he's-- Come on.
177
00:06:44,613 --> 00:06:46,864
Ruari, this is, uh,
this is Plum.
178
00:06:46,865 --> 00:06:49,575
- Hello.
- So, uh, yeah, just show him
179
00:06:49,576 --> 00:06:51,285
- how we make coffee and...
- Sure.
180
00:06:51,286 --> 00:06:52,745
...and just the general ropes.
181
00:06:52,746 --> 00:06:54,538
Okay, no problem.
Hi, Ruari.
182
00:06:54,539 --> 00:06:55,748
- Aw.
- [both chuckle]
183
00:06:55,749 --> 00:06:57,041
Oh, Jessie Finlay
called again.
184
00:06:57,042 --> 00:06:58,584
Okay. Uh, I'll get back to her.
185
00:06:58,585 --> 00:07:01,253
You have a great day
and, uh, have fun.
186
00:07:01,254 --> 00:07:03,213
- Yeah.
- Or don't "have fun."
You know, work hard.
187
00:07:03,214 --> 00:07:04,590
- Yeah.
- Okay.
188
00:07:04,591 --> 00:07:06,383
Oh. [chuckles] Aw.
189
00:07:06,384 --> 00:07:08,345
Yeah. Just through here.
190
00:07:13,058 --> 00:07:14,975
I actually know
how to make coffee.
191
00:07:14,976 --> 00:07:16,269
That's what the last guy said.
192
00:07:17,395 --> 00:07:18,896
It's just a bit tricky
to open, but--
193
00:07:18,897 --> 00:07:20,273
[Ruari]
I can just try if you want.
194
00:07:21,650 --> 00:07:23,108
I like your shirt.
195
00:07:23,109 --> 00:07:24,944
Thanks.
196
00:07:24,945 --> 00:07:26,738
- It's a great film.
Have you seen it?
- Yeah.
197
00:07:27,864 --> 00:07:30,157
- No, I haven't.
- I'm part of a film club.
198
00:07:30,158 --> 00:07:32,660
We watch horror classics
from the '70s.
199
00:07:32,661 --> 00:07:34,411
- If you fancy joining--
- Yeah? Yeah?
200
00:07:34,412 --> 00:07:37,414
Where-- when-- or when is it?
I could maybe--
201
00:07:37,415 --> 00:07:39,417
- [lid popping, beans clattering]
- Oh!
202
00:07:42,212 --> 00:07:43,838
I don't understand
what happened.
203
00:07:46,424 --> 00:07:47,758
Oy.
204
00:07:47,759 --> 00:07:49,427
Ay. [laughing]
205
00:07:50,762 --> 00:07:52,763
So, what's our strategy
for getting Malcolm
206
00:07:52,764 --> 00:07:54,264
back on board?
207
00:07:54,265 --> 00:07:55,599
Have you ever watched
those divers
208
00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:58,143
that spear hunt for lionfish?
209
00:07:58,144 --> 00:08:00,020
- It's good to be back.
- Can I take your coat?
210
00:08:00,021 --> 00:08:01,438
- [laughing]
- Thank you.
211
00:08:01,439 --> 00:08:04,024
[Alex] What is that
dick-in-a-box doing here?
212
00:08:04,025 --> 00:08:05,276
[Grayson] Yeah.
213
00:08:06,695 --> 00:08:08,279
- [Alex] Ugh.
- [phone chimes]
214
00:08:09,197 --> 00:08:12,242
- [sighs]
- [Grayson] Afternoon, sluts.
215
00:08:12,909 --> 00:08:15,494
We're not friends anymore,
Grayson, so you can't say that.
216
00:08:15,495 --> 00:08:17,788
- Why are you here?
- I could ask you the same.
217
00:08:17,789 --> 00:08:19,456
You know they don't accept
Groupons here, right?
218
00:08:19,457 --> 00:08:21,458
You know the manager's straight?
You can't fuck the bill away.
219
00:08:21,459 --> 00:08:23,627
- You'd be surprised, actually.
- [Alex] Oh, come on, lads.
220
00:08:23,628 --> 00:08:25,504
- Just break it up.
- [Grayson chuckles]
221
00:08:25,505 --> 00:08:27,673
They have a very reasonable
kids' menu here.
222
00:08:27,674 --> 00:08:28,842
[whispering]
So, enjoy.
223
00:08:30,343 --> 00:08:32,511
- Something stinks about this.
- [phone chimes]
224
00:08:32,512 --> 00:08:35,473
[♪ light piano music playing]
225
00:08:38,143 --> 00:08:39,893
What is it?
226
00:08:39,894 --> 00:08:42,521
Uh, just a-- a dick pic.
227
00:08:42,522 --> 00:08:44,314
Pat-- Patrick's dick.
228
00:08:44,315 --> 00:08:46,192
- Oh.
- I'll just give it
a quick thumbs-up.
229
00:08:50,572 --> 00:08:52,156
[message whooshes]
230
00:08:52,157 --> 00:08:54,324
- [Alex] Oh, there he is.
- [Sam] Malcolm.
231
00:08:54,325 --> 00:08:57,494
Ah, my two favorite
boutique agents.
232
00:08:57,495 --> 00:08:58,996
What can we get you to drink?
233
00:08:58,997 --> 00:09:00,331
Oh, I've already got a drink.
234
00:09:01,041 --> 00:09:02,416
[Alex] You...
235
00:09:02,417 --> 00:09:04,001
What are you doing?
You're having lunch with us.
236
00:09:04,002 --> 00:09:05,419
Absolutely.
Order me the veal.
237
00:09:05,420 --> 00:09:06,837
I'll be back in a jiff.
238
00:09:06,838 --> 00:09:08,422
Oh, come on.
239
00:09:08,423 --> 00:09:10,507
- Oh, you big poof.
- Oh, you look wonderful.
240
00:09:10,508 --> 00:09:12,092
Motherfucking motherfucker.
241
00:09:12,093 --> 00:09:13,261
Which one?
242
00:09:14,596 --> 00:09:15,846
[Grayson]
Are your fingers bleeding?
243
00:09:15,847 --> 00:09:17,222
Oh, the talent, darling.
244
00:09:17,223 --> 00:09:19,016
Bleeding talent. Cheers.
245
00:09:19,017 --> 00:09:20,392
- [glasses clinking]
- [server] Your pinot noir.
246
00:09:20,393 --> 00:09:23,520
[sighs] I'd like to organize
a violent kidnapping.
247
00:09:23,521 --> 00:09:26,940
- [crunching]
- Self-published prick.
248
00:09:26,941 --> 00:09:28,525
[laughing]
249
00:09:28,526 --> 00:09:30,028
[pouring continues]
250
00:09:30,528 --> 00:09:33,530
I'm not drinking at home.
I need to get
all my units in now,
251
00:09:33,531 --> 00:09:35,199
anesthetize myself.
252
00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:38,661
Frank's started therapy.
Terrifying.
253
00:09:39,370 --> 00:09:41,413
Why is it terrifying?
What are you scared of?
254
00:09:41,414 --> 00:09:43,040
Nothing.
It's just so boring.
255
00:09:43,041 --> 00:09:44,708
All he can talk about
is himself.
256
00:09:44,709 --> 00:09:46,711
[phone ringing]
257
00:09:47,712 --> 00:09:49,546
That Patrick?
You not answering?
258
00:09:49,547 --> 00:09:50,798
He's gonna think
his dick's small.
259
00:09:50,799 --> 00:09:53,092
Huh? Oh, yeah.
260
00:09:53,093 --> 00:09:54,302
No, I-- I, um...
261
00:09:55,220 --> 00:09:58,222
I think I just need to take
a step back a bit, you know?
262
00:09:58,223 --> 00:09:59,556
What happened to dying together?
263
00:09:59,557 --> 00:10:01,725
Yeah, he seems to want it
to be more casual,
264
00:10:01,726 --> 00:10:04,061
you know, "see other people"
kinda thing.
265
00:10:04,062 --> 00:10:05,646
[Sam] Good idea.
See other people.
266
00:10:05,647 --> 00:10:07,648
Don't put all your dead eggs
in that basket.
267
00:10:07,649 --> 00:10:09,399
The man is
institutionally single.
268
00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:10,943
Is he?
269
00:10:10,944 --> 00:10:13,112
I always thought he was just
a tiny bit spectrum-y.
270
00:10:13,113 --> 00:10:14,905
[scoffs]
That is bullshit, I'm sorry.
271
00:10:14,906 --> 00:10:17,574
That's just an excuse
women give for man-children.
272
00:10:17,575 --> 00:10:20,410
The man's 47 and he's never
lived with a woman. Come on.
273
00:10:20,411 --> 00:10:22,413
[phone ringing]
274
00:10:25,583 --> 00:10:27,251
I'm gonna answer,
275
00:10:27,252 --> 00:10:28,752
but we should get
another bottle.
276
00:10:28,753 --> 00:10:30,170
- Yeah, sure.
- That's a good one.
277
00:10:30,171 --> 00:10:31,588
[Sam] Can you bring me
your second-cheapest
278
00:10:31,589 --> 00:10:33,006
but likely strongest pinot noir?
279
00:10:33,007 --> 00:10:34,258
- Hey.
- [Patrick] Hey, darling.
280
00:10:34,259 --> 00:10:35,926
I was just leaving you
a message.
281
00:10:35,927 --> 00:10:39,513
Are you coming tonight?
Uh, Queen's Arms, 8 p.m.
282
00:10:39,514 --> 00:10:42,683
Um, if I did come
meet your friends,
283
00:10:42,684 --> 00:10:44,268
what would you
introduce me as?
284
00:10:44,269 --> 00:10:45,936
Uh, as Alex?
285
00:10:45,937 --> 00:10:48,230
- Okay.
- [Patrick] Wrong answer?
286
00:10:48,231 --> 00:10:50,274
- Alexandra Shaw?
- Yeah, that's better.
287
00:10:50,275 --> 00:10:52,151
I like to go
by my full spinster name.
288
00:10:52,152 --> 00:10:54,945
[laughing]
So, are you joining us?
289
00:10:54,946 --> 00:10:57,156
I don't-- I don't know
what's happening in Syria.
290
00:10:57,157 --> 00:10:59,367
Or Turkey.
So, I'll call you later.
291
00:11:01,369 --> 00:11:02,620
What are you doing?
292
00:11:03,621 --> 00:11:05,289
- Why do you do this?
- Are you trying
293
00:11:05,290 --> 00:11:07,124
- to woo him from us?
- Not at all.
294
00:11:07,125 --> 00:11:08,876
- [Malcolm] Ah, my veal.
- [Grayson] Malcolm invited me
295
00:11:08,877 --> 00:11:10,586
for a little pre-luncheon
endorphin-inducing--
296
00:11:10,587 --> 00:11:12,045
You'd never know
he was from Essex,
would you?
297
00:11:12,046 --> 00:11:13,463
[Alex] Oh, this looks cozy!
298
00:11:13,464 --> 00:11:14,715
- Hello.
- [chairs scraping]
299
00:11:14,716 --> 00:11:15,841
- Uh, excuse me.
- May we?
300
00:11:15,842 --> 00:11:17,301
What are you--
what are you doing?
301
00:11:17,302 --> 00:11:18,677
[Sam] Did Grayson tell you
about the time
302
00:11:18,678 --> 00:11:20,637
he left Charlotte Arbor's
unpublished manuscript
303
00:11:20,638 --> 00:11:22,347
- on the 388 to Morden?
- [phone ringing]
304
00:11:22,348 --> 00:11:24,641
[Alex] You don't wanna risk that
kind of negligence, Malcolm.
305
00:11:24,642 --> 00:11:26,476
Not at this stage
of your career.
306
00:11:26,477 --> 00:11:29,188
Mm. Taken from his mother
307
00:11:29,189 --> 00:11:31,023
- two days after birth,
apparently.
- [phone ringing]
308
00:11:31,024 --> 00:11:33,984
- Mm.
- I'm sorry, do you mind
if I take this quickly?
309
00:11:33,985 --> 00:11:35,652
I can't talk now, St. John.
I'm in the middle of a...
310
00:11:35,653 --> 00:11:37,321
- What?
- That's not St. John.
311
00:11:37,322 --> 00:11:39,239
- [Grayson] When?
- That's just some mate
he's asked to call...
312
00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:41,325
- [Grayson] Oh, my God.
- ...say someone's died,
and then he's gonna leave.
313
00:11:41,326 --> 00:11:42,659
Harriet's dead.
314
00:11:42,660 --> 00:11:43,995
[laughing]
315
00:11:44,829 --> 00:11:46,246
Oh, shit.
316
00:11:46,247 --> 00:11:48,707
Oh, I th--
She's actually dead?
317
00:11:48,708 --> 00:11:51,920
Sorry, Grayson, that's...
can't think of the word.
318
00:11:52,754 --> 00:11:55,047
Guess it's just
Noble & Cole now.
319
00:11:55,048 --> 00:11:57,341
[sucking teeth]
Every cloud.
320
00:11:57,342 --> 00:11:59,218
- Harriet.
- [Malcolm] Harriet.
321
00:11:59,219 --> 00:12:01,511
May your sales in
the afterlife be abundant.
322
00:12:01,512 --> 00:12:03,180
[Alex] Cheers.
323
00:12:03,181 --> 00:12:05,432
Now, I'd better go
rally the troops.
324
00:12:05,433 --> 00:12:07,727
- And what about your bill?
- A woman's just died.
325
00:12:08,895 --> 00:12:11,188
How crass. [sniffling]
326
00:12:11,189 --> 00:12:12,523
Don't do anything
you might regret.
327
00:12:13,691 --> 00:12:15,567
[chuckles] Mm.
328
00:12:15,568 --> 00:12:17,444
That agency's
not for you, Malcolm.
329
00:12:17,445 --> 00:12:18,862
You'll get lost there.
330
00:12:18,863 --> 00:12:20,572
[Alex] We've been talking
to HarperCollins.
331
00:12:20,573 --> 00:12:21,907
- HarperCollins, eh?
- [Sam] Mm-hmm.
332
00:12:21,908 --> 00:12:23,367
Yeah.
Yeah, they think you could be
333
00:12:23,368 --> 00:12:24,994
the next J.R.R. Tolkien.
334
00:12:25,703 --> 00:12:29,040
[mouth full] I already am
the next J.R.R. Tolkien.
335
00:12:29,958 --> 00:12:31,875
Yeah, yeah, could be.
336
00:12:31,876 --> 00:12:34,086
They would love
if we were the ones
337
00:12:34,087 --> 00:12:35,546
to bring them your next book.
338
00:12:36,464 --> 00:12:37,923
I know you need help with it.
339
00:12:37,924 --> 00:12:39,717
It's fine.
I can do that for you.
340
00:12:40,969 --> 00:12:42,804
Mm. Yep.
341
00:12:44,597 --> 00:12:45,890
Delightfully tender.
342
00:12:48,518 --> 00:12:50,852
You're very persuasive.
[clearing throat]
343
00:12:50,853 --> 00:12:53,563
Excuse me while I visit
the big boys' room.
344
00:12:53,564 --> 00:12:57,110
I think more clearly
with an empty bowel.
345
00:12:58,111 --> 00:12:59,153
And then...
346
00:13:00,571 --> 00:13:02,281
how about we get down
to business?
347
00:13:02,282 --> 00:13:03,825
[both chuckle]
348
00:13:06,411 --> 00:13:09,162
- Oh, we smashed it, oh!
- I think we got him!
I think we got him!
349
00:13:09,163 --> 00:13:11,331
- The big boys' room?
- That's gross, though.
Empty his bowel.
350
00:13:11,332 --> 00:13:13,583
- So creepy.
- Fuck's sake, ugh!
351
00:13:13,584 --> 00:13:15,002
Hey, let's go for it.
352
00:13:15,003 --> 00:13:16,920
- What?
- I agree to your demands.
353
00:13:16,921 --> 00:13:19,256
- A partnership?
- Junior partnership.
354
00:13:19,257 --> 00:13:20,966
- And a bonus?
- Fuck off.
355
00:13:20,967 --> 00:13:23,051
- [both laughing]
- [server] Here you are, madame.
356
00:13:23,052 --> 00:13:25,387
- [Alex] Oh, he's cute.
Look at that.
- [Sam chuckles]
357
00:13:25,388 --> 00:13:27,347
Did you ask for the bill?
358
00:13:27,348 --> 00:13:29,308
No, I didn't, but you know.
It's fine.
359
00:13:29,309 --> 00:13:31,768
[Alex] What the--
Has he just fucked off?
360
00:13:31,769 --> 00:13:33,437
He's just fucked off!
361
00:13:33,438 --> 00:13:34,647
[Sam sighs]
362
00:13:37,692 --> 00:13:39,318
670 quid?
363
00:13:39,319 --> 00:13:41,988
Jesus Christ, who made
that whiskey, the Pope?
364
00:13:43,114 --> 00:13:44,907
[sighs] Yes.
365
00:13:45,616 --> 00:13:46,950
[Alex] Okay,
we're getting pissed.
366
00:13:46,951 --> 00:13:48,160
Can I get a bottle of the pinot?
367
00:13:48,161 --> 00:13:50,163
[both chuckling]
368
00:13:51,539 --> 00:13:53,665
You should go on that date
with that Lars.
369
00:13:53,666 --> 00:13:55,625
- What? Really?
- Why not?
370
00:13:55,626 --> 00:13:57,794
You've had German
sausage before.
371
00:13:57,795 --> 00:13:59,796
I'd only be going
'cause I'm confused.
372
00:13:59,797 --> 00:14:02,550
Then, go for clarity.
It's just options.
373
00:14:07,305 --> 00:14:08,805
- [laughing]
- [phone chimes]
374
00:14:08,806 --> 00:14:10,140
Well, now I'm anxious.
375
00:14:10,141 --> 00:14:11,975
Oh, wait. Here.
376
00:14:11,976 --> 00:14:13,310
- What?
- Just take a half.
377
00:14:13,311 --> 00:14:15,520
- No more booze though.
- What is it?
378
00:14:15,521 --> 00:14:17,481
Frank's Xanax. Franax!
379
00:14:17,482 --> 00:14:19,316
[both laughing]
380
00:14:19,317 --> 00:14:21,819
He's on those, beta blockers,
heart meds.
381
00:14:23,905 --> 00:14:25,822
He can't get a hard-on.
382
00:14:25,823 --> 00:14:28,158
- Oh.
- Mm, and I've no sex drive.
383
00:14:28,159 --> 00:14:32,162
Turns out I'm peri-peri
bloody merry meni.
384
00:14:32,163 --> 00:14:34,331
And just like that...
[snapping] Pussy's dead.
385
00:14:34,332 --> 00:14:37,000
So, if he's not driving it,
we're not fucking,
386
00:14:37,001 --> 00:14:38,251
- and fucking's what we do!
- [Alex] Aw.
387
00:14:38,252 --> 00:14:41,213
Honey, come here.
That is a lot.
388
00:14:41,214 --> 00:14:43,673
- [groaning]
- Come on.
389
00:14:43,674 --> 00:14:47,094
- Uh, W4, please.
- Just, you know, talk to him.
390
00:14:47,095 --> 00:14:48,388
Just talk to him.
391
00:14:49,389 --> 00:14:53,850
And, look, don't worry.
I had all that, you know?
392
00:14:53,851 --> 00:14:56,686
All you need is to start
at your creams and your patches.
393
00:14:56,687 --> 00:14:58,855
You'll be grand, okay?
394
00:14:58,856 --> 00:15:00,857
- [both] Mwah.
- Love you.
395
00:15:00,858 --> 00:15:02,359
- Love you.
- You are a sex queen!
396
00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:04,528
- I am.
- And you will fuck again!
397
00:15:04,529 --> 00:15:06,405
- I will!
- [laughing]
398
00:15:06,406 --> 00:15:07,906
[Sam] Fucking see!
399
00:15:07,907 --> 00:15:09,700
[both laughing]
400
00:15:10,785 --> 00:15:12,286
[phone chimes]
401
00:15:16,290 --> 00:15:18,292
- [exhales sharply]
- [phone dinging]
402
00:15:19,210 --> 00:15:21,086
[phone ringing]
403
00:15:21,087 --> 00:15:22,713
Oh, shit.
404
00:15:25,967 --> 00:15:28,386
Hey, Camille!
You're-- you're working late.
405
00:15:29,887 --> 00:15:30,888
What?
406
00:15:32,223 --> 00:15:35,560
Oh. [laughing]
Sorry, I-- I... yeah.
407
00:15:36,894 --> 00:15:38,645
Yafa?
408
00:15:38,646 --> 00:15:41,189
Yes!
Yeah, they're good, aren't they?
409
00:15:41,190 --> 00:15:42,899
- Are you getting in or what?
- Should we have lunch
410
00:15:42,900 --> 00:15:44,985
and chat about it tomorrow?
I'm giddy.
411
00:15:44,986 --> 00:15:47,154
I'm giddy about it.
No, I'm excited.
412
00:15:47,155 --> 00:15:49,072
- I'll call you.
- Where to?
413
00:15:49,073 --> 00:15:51,451
Uh, Bloomsbury Hotel, please.
414
00:15:52,493 --> 00:15:55,496
[♪ upbeat jazzy music playing]
415
00:16:11,095 --> 00:16:12,762
[taxi driver] Hey!
Sleepyhead! Come on!
416
00:16:12,763 --> 00:16:15,974
- Oh, shit.
- You've been asleep
for 67 minutes.
417
00:16:15,975 --> 00:16:17,934
I had to call
your emergency contact.
418
00:16:17,935 --> 00:16:19,769
- I'm so sorry.
- You owe me 130 quid.
419
00:16:19,770 --> 00:16:21,480
Okay. Sorry, sorry.
420
00:16:21,481 --> 00:16:23,607
- Jesus Christ.
- I couldn't wake you up!
421
00:16:23,608 --> 00:16:24,858
What? Ha-- hang on.
422
00:16:24,859 --> 00:16:27,319
I'm home.
Can-- can you take me to--
423
00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:29,112
Absolutely fucking not!
424
00:16:29,113 --> 00:16:30,447
I've driven 'round
half of London.
425
00:16:30,448 --> 00:16:31,781
- [phone dings]
- Go on, get out, now.
426
00:16:31,782 --> 00:16:34,826
Okay! Jesus, I'm going.
427
00:16:34,827 --> 00:16:37,662
- Oy.
- You really should take
428
00:16:37,663 --> 00:16:40,500
an anger management class, mate.
429
00:16:41,626 --> 00:16:43,793
- [car door closes]
- You're an embarrassment.
430
00:16:43,794 --> 00:16:45,796
[car driving away]
431
00:16:47,048 --> 00:16:49,050
[people chattering]
432
00:16:58,851 --> 00:17:00,811
[people chattering]
433
00:17:14,492 --> 00:17:17,327
Oh, hey! Hey, hey, hey!
[laughing]
434
00:17:17,328 --> 00:17:18,995
Ooh. Hey.
435
00:17:18,996 --> 00:17:20,830
- Ah, I'm hammered. [laughing]
- I'm off my nut.
436
00:17:20,831 --> 00:17:22,833
[both laughing]
437
00:17:24,001 --> 00:17:26,836
Um, this place
smells of beer farts.
438
00:17:26,837 --> 00:17:29,840
Well, you just made it
smell 20% better.
439
00:17:34,762 --> 00:17:38,057
[Alex] So, Syria.
What, violence is still ongoing?
440
00:17:38,849 --> 00:17:40,850
Despite the fall
of the Assad regime
441
00:17:40,851 --> 00:17:42,602
in-- what was it, 2024?
442
00:17:42,603 --> 00:17:44,229
- Alex, it's fine.
- What?
443
00:17:44,230 --> 00:17:46,106
They've clocked off.
You can relax. [laughing]
444
00:17:46,107 --> 00:17:48,108
Okay. [laughing]
445
00:17:48,109 --> 00:17:52,362
So, what-- So what do you do
in your-- in your downtime?
446
00:17:52,363 --> 00:17:53,780
In-- In the-- in the war zone?
447
00:17:53,781 --> 00:17:56,700
Like, h-how do you relax
in a hellscape?
448
00:17:56,701 --> 00:17:59,578
Well, I-- I mean,
I don't know for certain
if this is connected,
449
00:17:59,579 --> 00:18:03,582
but I have
a more-than-average
amount of casual sex.
450
00:18:03,583 --> 00:18:05,917
- Saleh?
- Party hard.
Drink pretty heavily.
451
00:18:05,918 --> 00:18:07,877
- Yeah. That makes sense.
- Ah.
452
00:18:07,878 --> 00:18:10,255
- What's your excuse?
- How dare you?
453
00:18:10,256 --> 00:18:12,215
[Alex laughing]
454
00:18:12,216 --> 00:18:13,718
- Oh, shit.
- What?
455
00:18:14,594 --> 00:18:17,429
- Who's that?
- Oh, I'm sorry
about this in advance.
456
00:18:17,430 --> 00:18:20,640
[laughing] Oh, shit.
Um... [sighs]
457
00:18:20,641 --> 00:18:24,227
That's, uh, that's Lars.
Um, that's my date.
458
00:18:24,228 --> 00:18:25,937
Not my date, per se.
459
00:18:25,938 --> 00:18:28,273
I was gonna meet him.
460
00:18:28,274 --> 00:18:29,482
It's complicated.
461
00:18:29,483 --> 00:18:32,402
- It-- it--
- What-- what's he doing here?
462
00:18:32,403 --> 00:18:34,738
I shared my location, I think.
463
00:18:34,739 --> 00:18:37,324
I took a Xanax,
so this is all
464
00:18:37,325 --> 00:18:38,575
- a-- a bit, um--
- Hey!
465
00:18:38,576 --> 00:18:40,410
- Hey. [laughing]
- Alex!
466
00:18:40,411 --> 00:18:41,911
- [chuckles] Hey.
- Hey.
467
00:18:41,912 --> 00:18:43,246
- [Lars inhales deeply]
- [Alex] Oh.
468
00:18:43,247 --> 00:18:45,915
Mm. I've been waiting for you
469
00:18:45,916 --> 00:18:47,292
- at the Bloomsbury Bar.
- Yeah, I know.
470
00:18:47,293 --> 00:18:49,461
- Yeah.
- I-- I fucked up. Um--
471
00:18:49,462 --> 00:18:50,920
- [Lars] It's fine.
- [Alex] Do-- do you wanna stay
472
00:18:50,921 --> 00:18:52,631
for a drink
now you're here, or...?
473
00:18:52,632 --> 00:18:54,924
Uh, yeah, uh, or do--
do you wanna come
474
00:18:54,925 --> 00:18:56,301
to the--
to the Bloomsbury Bar?
475
00:18:56,302 --> 00:18:57,969
- Alex?
- Uh, Patrick,
476
00:18:57,970 --> 00:19:00,430
um, I'm gonna get a round in.
477
00:19:00,431 --> 00:19:01,848
Will I get a round--
I'll get a round in.
478
00:19:01,849 --> 00:19:03,933
Um, Lars, this is Patrick...
479
00:19:03,934 --> 00:19:05,352
- [Lars] Mm-hmm.
- ...Ed, Saleh, and--
480
00:19:05,353 --> 00:19:07,103
Patrick. Saleh. Ed.
481
00:19:07,104 --> 00:19:09,147
[Alex] Uh, no, actually,
it's the-- it's the other way.
482
00:19:09,148 --> 00:19:11,317
She-- it-- okay. Yeah.
483
00:19:15,821 --> 00:19:17,322
- Hey, um--
- What are you doing?
484
00:19:17,323 --> 00:19:19,199
I thought you wanted me
to go on a date
485
00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:20,492
- with someone.
- No, I didn't.
486
00:19:20,493 --> 00:19:22,494
You were asking me
for permission, I thought.
487
00:19:22,495 --> 00:19:24,788
No, I wanted you
to tell me not to go.
488
00:19:24,789 --> 00:19:26,289
But that's just stupid, that's--
489
00:19:26,290 --> 00:19:27,666
I have no interest
in these sort of games.
490
00:19:27,667 --> 00:19:29,125
- What age are you?
- I'm not playing games.
491
00:19:29,126 --> 00:19:30,543
- And with prayer hands
over there?
- I was--
492
00:19:30,544 --> 00:19:32,128
I'm embarrassed.
You should be fucking mortified.
493
00:19:32,129 --> 00:19:33,672
- I should be mortified?
- Yeah.
494
00:19:33,673 --> 00:19:35,298
Cara was a bona fide moron
495
00:19:35,299 --> 00:19:36,716
and you were in a relationship
with her.
496
00:19:36,717 --> 00:19:38,301
I know you want her to be,
but she's actually not.
497
00:19:38,302 --> 00:19:40,303
- She's studying for an MA.
- Oh, is she?
498
00:19:40,304 --> 00:19:43,056
- In what, Pilates?
- Ha, ha, ha.
499
00:19:43,057 --> 00:19:45,934
Well, Von Triers over there
looks like the last member
500
00:19:45,935 --> 00:19:47,936
of a reformed
fucking boy band.
501
00:19:47,937 --> 00:19:50,480
Well, at least
he's not a drunk,
502
00:19:50,481 --> 00:19:54,068
institutionally single
47-year-old man-child.
503
00:19:57,238 --> 00:19:58,239
Wow.
504
00:20:01,575 --> 00:20:04,160
So, are we-- are we--
are we going
505
00:20:04,161 --> 00:20:06,663
to the Bloomsbury Bar, huh?
Alex?
506
00:20:06,664 --> 00:20:07,665
[Alex] No.
507
00:20:08,541 --> 00:20:09,750
[Lars] No?
508
00:20:12,002 --> 00:20:13,336
[sighs]
509
00:20:13,337 --> 00:20:15,046
[door closes]
510
00:20:15,047 --> 00:20:17,091
Looks like we have
the same taste in women, huh?
511
00:20:19,719 --> 00:20:21,511
That could be fun.
512
00:20:21,512 --> 00:20:22,847
[Patrick groaning]
513
00:20:32,857 --> 00:20:34,859
[cycle whirring slowly,
stopping]
514
00:20:40,114 --> 00:20:41,407
[phone chimes]
515
00:20:45,077 --> 00:20:46,620
Oh, fu-- [sighs]
516
00:20:48,038 --> 00:20:49,414
You going in early?
517
00:20:49,415 --> 00:20:51,708
Yeah, Sam gave me
some more reading to do.
518
00:20:51,709 --> 00:20:54,586
- Oh.
- [phone dings]
519
00:20:54,587 --> 00:20:56,546
That's the second GIF
that Grandad's sent me.
520
00:20:56,547 --> 00:20:59,132
The one yesterday said,
"You are gay and that's okay."
521
00:20:59,133 --> 00:21:01,050
[laughing]
He can't control his phone.
522
00:21:01,051 --> 00:21:02,386
I'm gonna get him a burner.
523
00:21:03,471 --> 00:21:04,722
You look very cool.
524
00:21:05,598 --> 00:21:07,224
Oh, great, now I'm gonna
have to change.
525
00:21:08,434 --> 00:21:09,935
And that's mine,
so take it off.
526
00:21:10,936 --> 00:21:13,563
I paid for it, so it's mine.
527
00:21:13,564 --> 00:21:15,649
Everything you own is mine!
528
00:21:16,609 --> 00:21:17,735
Dick.
529
00:21:22,907 --> 00:21:24,074
[Alex sighs]
530
00:21:26,410 --> 00:21:27,411
[knocking]
531
00:21:28,579 --> 00:21:30,079
- Hey.
- Hey.
532
00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:32,290
- Howdy, partner.
- Uh, junior.
533
00:21:32,291 --> 00:21:34,334
I've still gotta talk to Sandra
and the lawyers,
534
00:21:34,335 --> 00:21:36,419
make sure it even makes sense,
so don't, you know--
535
00:21:36,420 --> 00:21:38,630
I'm not. How are you?
536
00:21:38,631 --> 00:21:41,591
- Did you, uh, talk to Frank?
- About what?
537
00:21:41,592 --> 00:21:44,761
Just about, you know,
what's going on with you and...
538
00:21:44,762 --> 00:21:46,179
[softly]
...you know, your pussy.
539
00:21:46,180 --> 00:21:47,764
He just had a fucking
heart attack, Alex, come on.
540
00:21:47,765 --> 00:21:49,390
Alright, Jesus, I know.
541
00:21:49,391 --> 00:21:51,267
[Sam] Listen, I'm meeting
HarperCollins Karen,
542
00:21:51,268 --> 00:21:52,519
fill her in
on the Malcolm stuff.
543
00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:55,188
He emailed.
He's consulting his psychic.
544
00:21:55,189 --> 00:21:56,815
So, I'm gonna sell that
as a positive.
545
00:21:56,816 --> 00:21:58,691
- Do you wanna join?
- No. She hit me,
546
00:21:58,692 --> 00:22:00,777
in case you've forgotten,
in my face, so--
547
00:22:00,778 --> 00:22:01,986
So, just give her your love?
548
00:22:01,987 --> 00:22:03,446
- Yeah, please.
- Okay.
549
00:22:03,447 --> 00:22:05,782
- [Sam chuckles]
- [door closes]
550
00:22:05,783 --> 00:22:07,659
[sighs]
551
00:22:07,660 --> 00:22:08,828
[softly] Oh, thank you.
552
00:22:09,995 --> 00:22:11,830
Hey. What are you doing?
553
00:22:11,831 --> 00:22:13,331
- Oh, nothing.
- What's that?
554
00:22:13,332 --> 00:22:15,333
It's just a m-manuscript.
555
00:22:15,334 --> 00:22:17,126
[chuckles]
I know it's a manuscript,
but what is it?
556
00:22:17,127 --> 00:22:19,295
- Like, what's it called?
- Where We Roam.
557
00:22:19,296 --> 00:22:21,005
It's like a take
on West Side Story,
558
00:22:21,006 --> 00:22:23,299
but with werewolves,
kind of thing.
559
00:22:23,300 --> 00:22:27,470
It's like a metaphor
for our inhumanity, kinda.
560
00:22:27,471 --> 00:22:28,972
[Plum] Nice pitch.
Go on, read some.
561
00:22:28,973 --> 00:22:31,057
- No, I'm definitely not
gonna read some.
- Go on.
562
00:22:31,058 --> 00:22:32,726
- No.
- Okay, I'll read some.
563
00:22:37,064 --> 00:22:39,858
"His momentum pushed her
to the damp earth."
564
00:22:39,859 --> 00:22:41,150
Oy, oy.
565
00:22:41,151 --> 00:22:43,194
"Her breath was warm
and ragged.
566
00:22:43,195 --> 00:22:45,196
"She smelled the scent
of last night's hunt
567
00:22:45,197 --> 00:22:48,241
still clinging to him."
[laughing]
568
00:22:48,242 --> 00:22:49,909
Oh, that is so shit.
569
00:22:49,910 --> 00:22:52,245
I have a-- a lunch meeting,
so, uh--
570
00:22:52,246 --> 00:22:53,705
- What are you doing?
- Nothing.
571
00:22:53,706 --> 00:22:55,165
Okay. Go back to work.
572
00:22:56,834 --> 00:22:58,877
[door opens]
573
00:22:58,878 --> 00:23:00,379
- [Plum gasps softly]
- [door closes]
574
00:23:02,172 --> 00:23:04,841
Well, we have a few publishers
circling Yafa now.
575
00:23:04,842 --> 00:23:06,175
- Oh, I'm sure.
- Obviously.
576
00:23:06,176 --> 00:23:07,677
Well, then let's get
into a bloody deal.
577
00:23:07,678 --> 00:23:09,178
- Well, that would be ace.
- [both chuckle]
578
00:23:09,179 --> 00:23:10,847
Um, well, we're--
the whole team's excited.
579
00:23:10,848 --> 00:23:12,181
- I'm excited.
- And he's a genius.
580
00:23:12,182 --> 00:23:13,766
- He's exciting, yeah.
- You're a genius.
581
00:23:13,767 --> 00:23:15,560
Oh. Don't know if
I'm a genius, but...
[laughing]
582
00:23:15,561 --> 00:23:17,437
I mean, he seems to really love
being repped by you.
583
00:23:17,438 --> 00:23:19,440
- [phone ringing]
- Yeah. Um...
584
00:23:20,274 --> 00:23:22,942
Yeah, it's... There's a few,
585
00:23:22,943 --> 00:23:25,111
I wouldn't call them
complications,
586
00:23:25,112 --> 00:23:26,362
- but, um...
- [phone ringing]
587
00:23:26,363 --> 00:23:27,364
Sorry.
588
00:23:28,532 --> 00:23:30,575
Do you mind if I, uh--
it's my dad-- if I just--
589
00:23:30,576 --> 00:23:32,912
- Yes, yes, yes.
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
- Yeah. Thank you.
590
00:23:37,374 --> 00:23:39,626
- [Wally] [shouting] There's
an Irishman shouting at me...
- Hi, Dad.
591
00:23:39,627 --> 00:23:41,461
- Dad, I think it's your podcast.
- ...through my phone!
592
00:23:41,462 --> 00:23:43,713
So, just-- just
turn your phone off.
Where's Mum?
593
00:23:43,714 --> 00:23:45,715
- I can't get hold of them.
- Okay, there's--
there's a little button
594
00:23:45,716 --> 00:23:48,051
on the-- on the side,
just on the--
595
00:23:48,052 --> 00:23:50,178
or-- or do you know what?
Find the purple icon.
596
00:23:50,179 --> 00:23:52,388
- What's an icon?
- The p-- I'm gonna fail at this.
597
00:23:52,389 --> 00:23:53,723
- [Wally] The aubergine?
- [exhales sharply]
598
00:23:53,724 --> 00:23:55,558
- I'm-- I'm in a meeting.
- [Wally] Oh, there's--
599
00:23:55,559 --> 00:23:57,477
- Okay, I'm gonna call Ruari.
- [Wally] Stop him.
600
00:23:57,478 --> 00:24:00,063
- Tell him to go away.
- Yeah, I'll call Ruari
and I'll call you back.
601
00:24:00,064 --> 00:24:01,230
[whispering]
I'll just be one minute.
602
00:24:01,231 --> 00:24:02,232
[mouthing] It's okay.
603
00:24:03,233 --> 00:24:04,734
[line ringing]
604
00:24:04,735 --> 00:24:06,152
[automated voice]
The number you have dialed
605
00:24:06,153 --> 00:24:07,737
- is not available.
- [sighs]
606
00:24:07,738 --> 00:24:09,740
- [phone ringing]
- [crunching]
607
00:24:12,576 --> 00:24:14,285
[sniffling] Hello?
608
00:24:14,286 --> 00:24:15,995
If I send you my dad's number,
can you help him
609
00:24:15,996 --> 00:24:17,830
turn his IRA podcast off?
610
00:24:17,831 --> 00:24:19,999
Okay, I wasn't expecting you
to say that, but say again?
What?
611
00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:22,835
Sorry, I-- I'm in a meeting
and it's-- it's important,
612
00:24:22,836 --> 00:24:24,587
and I need to turn off
my dad's podcast.
613
00:24:24,588 --> 00:24:26,422
I can't get ahold of Ruari.
So, if you--
614
00:24:26,423 --> 00:24:29,133
I feel really bad asking you
for a favor after last night,
615
00:24:29,134 --> 00:24:31,052
- but he's freaking out
and I just--
- Okay. Okay.
616
00:24:31,053 --> 00:24:32,470
I'll-- I'll call him
and talk him through it.
617
00:24:32,471 --> 00:24:34,180
Yeah? You will?
Okay, thank you.
618
00:24:34,181 --> 00:24:36,015
Thank you, thank you.
I'll-- I'll send the number.
619
00:24:36,016 --> 00:24:37,476
- Mm-hmm.
- [disconnected tone beeping]
620
00:24:38,519 --> 00:24:40,103
[Alex] [chuckles] Right.
621
00:24:40,104 --> 00:24:41,438
My, uh...
622
00:24:42,856 --> 00:24:45,441
my father's being terrorized
by his IRA podcasts.
623
00:24:45,442 --> 00:24:46,985
[laughing]
624
00:24:46,986 --> 00:24:48,778
Well, that's-- Yeah.
625
00:24:48,779 --> 00:24:49,947
Mm, so...
626
00:24:52,282 --> 00:24:54,117
[phone dings]
627
00:24:54,118 --> 00:24:55,702
[people chattering]
628
00:24:55,703 --> 00:24:57,286
[man]
I just got here myself, alright?
629
00:24:57,287 --> 00:24:59,415
So just let me sort my stuff
and I'll get back to you.
630
00:25:03,293 --> 00:25:04,628
[knocking]
631
00:25:05,838 --> 00:25:07,672
- I have amazing news.
- You're pregnant.
632
00:25:07,673 --> 00:25:09,215
- [both laughing]
- No.
633
00:25:09,216 --> 00:25:11,300
Okay, so, uh, okay,
so Yafa Barghouti--
634
00:25:11,301 --> 00:25:13,136
- Oh, Alex, I don't want to.
- No, no, no, it's good.
635
00:25:13,137 --> 00:25:15,680
Blue Hour, uh, they're making
an offer on his book.
636
00:25:15,681 --> 00:25:17,640
And I had to go a bit
behind the scenes,
and I'm sorry for that,
637
00:25:17,641 --> 00:25:19,142
but I just-- I had
a gut feeling, you know?
638
00:25:19,143 --> 00:25:20,351
What do you mean,
"behind the scenes"?
639
00:25:20,352 --> 00:25:22,395
Okay, so when I met
Camille in Frankfurt,
640
00:25:22,396 --> 00:25:24,022
- I said we rep him--
- Have you taken him on?
641
00:25:24,023 --> 00:25:25,690
No, no! Not yet.
I mean, I wanted to--
642
00:25:25,691 --> 00:25:27,191
[Sam] So, you've lied
to a publisher?
643
00:25:27,192 --> 00:25:29,485
They think we rep a writer
I specifically asked you not to?
644
00:25:29,486 --> 00:25:31,029
Is there something
I'm not getting here?
645
00:25:31,030 --> 00:25:33,406
I-- I thought you of all people
would be interested
646
00:25:33,407 --> 00:25:34,907
in championing
diverse voices and--
647
00:25:34,908 --> 00:25:37,035
Don't patronize me.
I'm interested in writers
648
00:25:37,036 --> 00:25:38,494
who are commercially viable.
649
00:25:38,495 --> 00:25:40,163
This is a good thing.
They love him. He loves me.
650
00:25:40,164 --> 00:25:42,165
[Sam] This is not how
partnerships work, by the way,
651
00:25:42,166 --> 00:25:43,666
- just so you know.
- [knocking]
652
00:25:43,667 --> 00:25:46,210
Sorry, I was just gonna
head home now if you're--
653
00:25:46,211 --> 00:25:47,421
That's a good idea.
654
00:25:48,547 --> 00:25:50,548
[sighs] Just go home, Alex.
655
00:25:50,549 --> 00:25:52,009
I'll see you tomorrow.
656
00:25:53,510 --> 00:25:55,095
[scoffs] Oh, my God.
657
00:25:58,182 --> 00:25:59,348
[Alex]
What do you wanna eat?
658
00:25:59,349 --> 00:26:00,850
[video game gunshots]
659
00:26:00,851 --> 00:26:02,560
- [Wally] Yeah, let's see
what you're made of.
- [Patrick] Oof!
660
00:26:02,561 --> 00:26:04,020
Wow. Bang, he got--
661
00:26:04,021 --> 00:26:06,397
- A head shot?
Are you kidding me?
- Hey, Dad.
662
00:26:06,398 --> 00:26:08,524
Ah, is it my favorite daughter?
663
00:26:08,525 --> 00:26:10,568
- Bang.
- I don't know what, uh,
664
00:26:10,569 --> 00:26:12,403
Delly would have
to say about that.
665
00:26:12,404 --> 00:26:14,363
- [Ruari] What's up, Grandad?
- It just seemed easier
to go over
666
00:26:14,364 --> 00:26:15,907
and switch it off for him, so...
667
00:26:15,908 --> 00:26:17,617
Ruari, you wanna take over
for me here, pal?
668
00:26:17,618 --> 00:26:18,910
- Yeah.
- Ah.
669
00:26:18,911 --> 00:26:20,286
- Chickening out, are you?
- Thank you. No, no.
670
00:26:20,287 --> 00:26:21,412
Just conceding
to a better player.
671
00:26:21,413 --> 00:26:23,039
- Oh, yeah, yeah.
- Congratulations, Wally.
672
00:26:23,040 --> 00:26:25,041
- Ah, well, it's...

673
00:26:25,042 --> 00:26:26,834
We've sorted out
the men from the boys.
674
00:26:26,835 --> 00:26:28,711
- Come on, let's see what
we can do with you, then.

675
00:26:28,712 --> 00:26:30,379
Alright, you ready?
676
00:26:30,380 --> 00:26:32,465
- Say when. And...

He's just missing your mum,
you know?
678
00:26:34,885 --> 00:26:37,553
And, uh, we both like
first-person shooters,
679
00:26:37,554 --> 00:26:39,055
so I just thought
it'd be easier to--
680
00:26:39,056 --> 00:26:41,015
Well, you didn't need
to do that.
681
00:26:41,016 --> 00:26:43,434
I wanted to.
It made me feel closer to you.
682
00:26:43,435 --> 00:26:44,894
You've been so weird
683
00:26:44,895 --> 00:26:46,980
- and hard to get to, so--
- Yeah, sorry.
684
00:26:47,815 --> 00:26:49,649
I don't remember much
about last night, but I--
685
00:26:49,650 --> 00:26:52,151
I remember the
"institutionally single" thing.
686
00:26:52,152 --> 00:26:55,404
Yeah. Well, I am-- Was.
687
00:26:55,405 --> 00:26:58,158
I'm sorry, but you're gonna have
to be patient with that one.
688
00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:02,578
What are we, though?
I mean, w-what is this?
689
00:27:02,579 --> 00:27:03,996
I-- I don't wanna
see other people.
690
00:27:03,997 --> 00:27:05,915
- I don't want to, either.
- Really?
691
00:27:05,916 --> 00:27:07,917
- Really.
- Well, then what the f--
692
00:27:07,918 --> 00:27:10,419
Why does it feel
so complicated and coded?
693
00:27:10,420 --> 00:27:13,172
I don't do code, okay?
I don't understand it.
694
00:27:13,173 --> 00:27:16,008
But neither do I.
I felt like I was supposed
695
00:27:16,009 --> 00:27:18,010
to understand what you meant,
even when you meant
696
00:27:18,011 --> 00:27:19,804
the exact opposite
of what you said.
697
00:27:19,805 --> 00:27:22,765
[chuckles]
I just want something
698
00:27:22,766 --> 00:27:25,977
that doesn't shapeshift on me
all the time.
699
00:27:25,978 --> 00:27:28,689
But it's a good shape now.
Isn't it?
700
00:27:29,606 --> 00:27:31,607
It's messy, but I like it.
701
00:27:31,608 --> 00:27:33,609
[Ruari] Yeah, alright,
and use X. Good.
702
00:27:33,610 --> 00:27:34,945
I like all of it.
