02x08 - I'm Scared

[bunniefuu]

[birds singing in distance]

[Nikki] Oh, my God.
What is going on?

Okay. I really need to start
seeing people get dressed now.

This is not 11:15 Nikki anymore,
this is... Well, this is 11:28 Nikki.

And if you don't like her, imagine what
twelve o'clock Nikki's gonna look like.

So let's just up our
game. Oh, Lorna, Lorna.

I need you to talk
to the photographer

because he's taking pictures
of the geese on the lawn

and they're not officially
involved in the wedding,

but if he takes any more, everyone's
gonna think it's geese-themed,

and we're better than that.

- Okay.
- Okay? Okay.

I talked to the head poncho.

We missed breakfast, but he said I
could take some leftover sausages.

[Nikki] Oh, my God.
What is he doing?

She should have paid
for someone proper.

Who uses her fiancé's barber?

- Okay. I think it is there.
- Okay. [Panting]

How we getting on here?

Amy is now done.

It's the pop star Sebnem Ferah
meets the great Levent Yuksel.

Okay.

I don't know who those people
are or why they're meeting.

I can only assume to talk
about how weird their hair is.

For a new theme let's try
nice hair meets quickly. Okay?

[sighs] My God.

[sighs]

God, weddings are fun.

[sighs]

Did I, uh... Did I tell you
I'm giving up the writing?

- Oh, yeah?
- Yeah.

Heading back to finance.

[whispering] Freddy. Freddy.

- Can I have a word?
- Yeah.

[Scott] And I know exactly
what you're gonna say.

"Excuse me, Scott. I seem to recall
you declaring yourself a socialist

on June 18th, 2011

after determining that capitalism,
or should I say neo-feudalism,

is incompatible with democracy."

[chuckles] Well, here's
what I'd say to that...

Yeah.

Right. Listen, mate, I need a
bit of, uh, relationship advice.

Well, um, I'm single,

and I'm at a wedding with
my wife and her boyfriend.

So, yeah, I'm pretty
much definitely your guy.

Okay. I'm thinking about
asking Nikki to marry me.

Mate. That is awesome.

- Congratulations.
- But here.

What, here at the wedding?

Yeah. I mean, we wouldn't tell
anyone about it, obviously.

Oh, I don't know, mate.

Proposing to someone
at a wedding,

that is like murdering
someone at a funeral.

That is gonna draw focus.

Is it a bit much, do you think?

It's a hat on a hat, mate.

- Yeah. Yeah, you're probably right.
- Yeah.

Right. I gotta go.
Got a wax booked.

What do you think?

[Nikki] Oh, hold on. Hello?

Hello?

Hello?

[sighs] Can you... Can
you get a signal here?

I don't know. I've had my phone
turned off so I could enjoy the spa.

- There's a spa?
- Yeah, by the orangery.

- There's an orangery?
- Yeah, right behind the sun terrace.

There's a... No. Okay. Stop.

But I've, uh, I've got to hand
out six buttonholes by 2:00 p.m.

and I didn't want the stress
of that hanging over me.

- Okay.
- What you doing?

- Nailing it. [Chuckles]
- Oh, yeah?

'Cause I'm a manager now and
I know how to get shit done.

[geese honk]

- Oh, for God's sake. I've got to go.
- Where you going?

Ooh, don't forget the rings.

Hey! No more geese.

No, no, no, no. No more geese.

No, they're lovely. It's just...
It's not a geese-themed wedding.

[chuckles]

- [Lorna] Karen. Karen.
- What's going on?

- Well, she won't come out.
- Why?

Best guess this side of the door is
probably some sort of Scott-based doubt.

What? Why?

Well, he's just a bit manscape-y
and metrosexual, isn't he?

No, I mean...

Like one of those guys who fully
crosses his legs, like, knee on knee.

Yeah. Exactly.

- Kaz?
- We're okay for a while.

Kaz, can I come in?

Oh!

Oh.

Do I look okay?

Of course you do.

I don't like lots of
people looking at me.

Right. Aren't you a teacher?

Well, children aren't people.

Karen.

You look beautiful.

I don't feel like me.

No, it's you.

Oh, I forgot. They're
asking about music.

Oh, I'm gonna play
it off my phone.

Right.

Is there a... Aren't
there adverts on that app?

They're not gonna cut in
and... and ruin the mood?

I'm not paying for premium
just for one night.

- Yeah.
- Jesus.

That's definitely you.

I thought we were in the field.

No, he said there's been a change of
plan, and we needed to carry on straight.

- Oh.
- Listen.

- Nikki.
- What?

- Have you seen the vicar?
- Ca...

- Absolute VILF. Yeah.
- I was...

- No.
- Isn't he?

Yeah, are you into him?

- Yeah. He's so fit.
- [Nikki] Really?

[Amy] I love a man with a job.

[clears throat]
Hi. Hi. Hi. Freddy.

Ah. Elliot. [Chuckles]

I left my jacket on the train.

And my shirt.

Such a long way
from the toilets.

I don't know why
everyone's following me.

Here we go. Here's a door.

- Oh, wow.
- Wow.

[Nikki chuckles]

- Should I knock or what? [Chuckles]
- Yeah. You should always knock.

Oh.

- Oh, my God.
- Yeah.

- It's The Secret Garden.
- Yeah.

Jase, did you...

Nah. No. Not a clue. No.

- [Nikki] Hello.
- Hello. Hiya.

- Jase.
- Hello.

Oh, Scott.

[Jason] Hello, handsome.

- Look at this.
- [Nikki] This is so beautiful.

Are these our hydrangeas?

Yeah, it's just on a lend.

He's a sweet boy, but he's
got no brain for plants.

Bloody hell. How much
did this lot cost?

Just wondering.

Has Erica got a favorite book?

Hello.

[woman] Welcome to
the Secret Garden.

I'm supposed to ask if
you'll sit on Scott's side...

- Okay.
- Because it's just a bit, well

- lopsided friends and family-wise.
- [Jason] Is it?

- Okay. All right.
- Okay.

Thank you so much.

- Hiya.
- Hello. You all right?

[woman] The Secret Garden.
Do we sit on Scott's side?

Is your stomach feeling weird?

- I'm fine. Yeah.
- Just me?

You all right?

So, what? Are we getting
those hydrangeas back or what?

Yeah, we'll get them back.

[chattering]

Look.

Did you know about this?

Not really. I mean, I
built the arch but...

You... God.

What? It's a very
basic wooden arch.

Oh, no, I can't. [Sniffs]

This concealer's really
shit and expensive.

Oh, wow.

First cry since 2012. [Chuckles]

- Mo Farah.
- Oh, right.

Hi.

Thank you.

It's okay.

I mean, as a novel,

I still find it a little too insistent
on its own moral universe but...

Thank you.

In the presence of God,
Father, Son and Holy Spirit,

we have come together
to witness the marriage

of Karen Mary Newman

and Scott Excalibur
Atalanta Filburt.

"Love anything and your heart
will be wrung and possibly broken.

If you want to make sure of keeping it
intact, you must give it to no one."

Do you think you could do
a pull-up on that arch?

[Jason] "But it will
become unbreakable.

- [softly] Oh, my...
- To love is to be vulnerable."

That was beautiful.
You're a beautiful writer.

Oh, no. I d... I didn't...

Wonderful.

Do they think I wrote that?

Well, if it's famous you're
supposed to say who it's by.

- Oh.
- [vicar] In order to come to love another,

we must first come
to love ourselves.

Will you love her, comfort her

and, forsaking all others,

keep yourself only unto her as
long as you both shall live?

I will.

I will.

I now pronounce you
husband and wife.

Thank you.

[wedding guests cheering]

Thank God for that.
I'm busting for a pee.

Very pleased the words touched you,
but no. No current plans to publish.

Mm. You understand the
anatomy of sadness, don't you?

Oh, yeah, I know my onions.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah.

- Do you know the only man.
- Go on.

Who never disappointed
me was Jesus?

Ah. Yeah.

Anyway, good to...
good catch up.

Hello.

- Are you all right, Shakespeare?
- Yeah, yeah. You all right?

- Yeah.
- Um, lovely service, wasn't it?

[chuckles] I mean, no one's ever
not said that after a service,

but yeah, it was...
it was lovely.

Yeah. Well, let's go there.

Wait. Where we going?
The reception's that way.

Will you just walk with
me for a little second

before we... before
the speeches.

- Is that okay? Yeah.
- Okay.

I don't wanna be too long, though.
I need to explain the wedding gift.

I don't want her to think that we went
for the third cheapest thing on the list

like everyone else does

even though that's what
we definitely did do.

Oh, my God.

I love you...

Nikki.

And, uh, I know that
proposing at a wedding

is a little bit, you
know, a man wearing a hat.

But since realizing that I
should, every day that I didn't,

it felt weird and strange, and it
almost felt like a sort of betrayal.

You are twice as amazing
as you need to be

for me to love you for the
rest of both of our lives.

[stammers] All this is just leftover
amazing-ness that I don't ev...

If there was a whole
nother me here, right now,

there will be enough for him to
love for the rest of his life.

Nikki Newman.

Would...

Nikki New... Nikki Newman.

Oh, my God. Nikki, are you gonna
say... Are you gonna say no?

Wha...

Hi. [Panting]

This is a good time?

[laughter, chattering]

- [laughs]
- Wow. [Laughs]

So sorry to gate crash.

- I did try to call.
- No, there's no signal.

- Only in the atrium.
- There's an atrium?

In the end, rang your
work, spoke to Jen.

I could make up a story, but the fact
is that girl knows your email password.

No.

But she had the good grace
to pretend it was a guess.

So, what's happened? Huh?

Okay, so, uh... Right. We have
found ourselves in a situation.

Princess and Tyler's
placements have broken down.

Already? Why?

[breathes heavily] Nikki,
these are complicated children,

and not everyone has the
stomach for the fight.

So now we have got two kids sat in
a council office with nowhere to go.

Fosterers can't take them
back. Beds are already taken.

So I am here to ask if
you'll take Princess.

Temporarily at first, but with you,
there's a chance of it becoming permanent.

Otherwise, it's just another
foster home in God knows where,

and that's just kicking
the can down the road.

But we would be asking you to take
a child you may not get to keep.

Well, uh, uh, why us?

Because you are passionate,
and you're committed,

and you built an extra room
in your house in a day.

[panting]

And we don't have a
lot of other options.

Okay, [stammers] can
we have some time?

Yes. Yes, anytime in the next


Okay, can we have a
little chat right here?

- Yes, yes. No, go on, go on.
- All right.

[sighs, exhales]

- Shit.
- Yes. Yeah. Okay.

- All right. What you feeling?
- Sick.

- What, good sick or bad sick? Or...
- [stammers] I don't know, Jason.

I'm wearing Spanx, so
it's complicating things.

We might not even
be able to keep her.

She's sat in an office, Jason.

- On her own. With no one.
- I know. I know.

I know.

Oh, my God. I can't think
in these bloody shoes.

[panting]

We moved on. I'm just...
I'm scared to go back.

I know. I know.

So...

Come on.

- Let's do it.
- Yeah, okay. Come on.

Okay.

[wedding guests chattering]

- Karen. We've got to go.
- What?

It's Princess.

It... It's complicated,
but we may be taking her.

You joking.

I'm so sorry.

No, don't be sorry. Oh, my God.
You go and get your daughter.

- Oh, I love you. All right.
- I love you.

[Jason] Come on. Let's go.

- Yeah, go on, go on.
- See ya later.

I'll text you the speech,
mate. Okay? Sorry.

- Follow me.
- All right. Okay.

Right! Okay! Go, go, go!

- Jason, the hand brake!
- Oh.

- Okay? Yeah.
- Yeah.

[exhales heavily]

What's the collective
noun for foxes?

[stammers] I don't
know, Jase. Why?

'Cause it just seems like the
sort of thing we should know now.

Can you look it up for me?

Yeah, okay.

Did you... did you steal the little
shampoos from the hotel, yeah?

Yes, of course I stole the shampoos
from the hotel. We have a family now.

It's a... a skulk.
A skulk of foxes.

- A skulk?
- Yep.

- Are you sure?
- Mm-hmm.

Are deciduous trees
the ones that...

- Jase, breathe, breathe.
- Yeah? Okay. All right.

- We're ready.
- Hmm.

Yeah. Yeah.

Can you look up
deciduous trees for me?

Yes, okay.

[clears throat]

I'm sad we're
missing the speeches.

I bet they're
beautiful. [Chuckles]

So I have a list here

of people who specifically said
that this would never happen.

[wedding guests laughing]

"Abigail Turner."

Yeah. No, we don't all need to
look at her. She knows who she is.

"Celeste Davies." There we go.

"Catherine Murphy."

Yep, there we are.

No plus-one? All right.

- Hi.
- Hi.

- All right?
- Good. Good.

- Hi.
- Hello.

So this is Nikki and Jason,

and they were wondering
whether you would like to go

and stay with them
for a little while.

Yeah? Good girl.

Come on, Tyler. Let's go.

[Disha] No,
sweetheart, because...

Do you remember Tyler's
not coming with you today?

But we are gonna see him
on Tuesday. Aren't we?

Okay?

So, why don't you give
Tyler a big old hug,

and we will see him on Tuesday?

Good girl.

Okay, darling. Come
here, sweetheart.

[stammers] Gregg,
would you mind?

Come here, darling.
Come on, darling.

I know this is hard.

- Come on, Tyler.
- Would you mind just giving us a sec?

- Yeah.
- Of course.

Princess. Come on, love, please.

It's gonna be absolutely fine.
You are gonna have the best...

Yeah?

- Hello, darling.
- Hello. [Chuckles]

Hello. Hiya.

- It's okay, darling.
- You gonna come get in the car? Huh?

- [Disha] Go on, sweetheart. It'll be fine.
- [Jason] It's okay.

Good girl, look.

Here we are. Just...
Just parked here, look.

Come on.

Good girl.

There we go.

Do you want to come and stay
maybe just... just for tonight

and then, you know,
like... forever.

No, no. No time for that.

You're parents... for now.

You have a job to do.

You are the flight attendants.

She's watching to check
that everything's okay.

Okay?

You're gonna be great.

[John] Ladies and gentlemen,

please show your love and
affection for Karen and Scott

as they take their first dance.

[applause]

To some music which is very
close to Scott's heart.

[cheers, applause]

- Are you ready?
- Yeah.

[free jazz playing]

[scats]

[music continues]

- [speaks indistinctly]
- Don't be silly. Come on.

A group of foxes
is called a skulk.

No, Jase. Let it
come up organically.

["You Sexy Thing" playing]

[song continues]

[Jason] All right.

Home sweet home.

Let's do it.

Come on then.

You all right, sweetheart?

Yes, this is us.

Oh, we need to get her bag.

- Oh, yeah.
- [chuckles]

[Nikki] Come on.

I just need to find my keys.

Nikki.

- Nikki.
- What?

Can you come here, please?

Just grab her bag.

No, seriously! Can you,
uh... Can you come here?

What?

Oh, my God.

[Jason] Okay.

What do we do?

I don't know.

Ge... Get him out.

- Come on, matey. You all right?
- Hello.

- What are you doing in there?
- What you doing in there, hey?

- [chuckles]
- Where's Princess?

- [Jason] She's just over there.
- She's over there.

- Princess!
- Tyler.

I can't believe you're here.

- What do we do?
- I don't know.

Oh, my God. Jase.
Seriously, what do we do?

I don't know. You just asked me that,
Nikki, and I still don't know. Okay?

Should we... Should we
get him in the house?

No, no. We can't do
that. That's kidnapping.

- We've already kidnapped him.
- No, no, it...

We haven't because we
didn't know he was in there.

Now we know that he's there. If
we move him that is kidnapping.

But if... if we stay still...

If we stay still then
they... They won't arrest us.

You know that's not a plan, don't
you? Just standing still isn't a plan.

Ring Penny.

["Bamboleo" playing]

[male announcer] At
Dowdens Kitchens,

we'll create your perfect
fitted kitchen from scratch.

And with up to 50%
off showroom prices,

there's never been a better
time to head to Dowdens.

Dowdens, your home
away from home.

Minimum contract applies. See
terms and conditions for details.

[song continues]

Yeah. No, no, I understand.

Okay.

Thanks very much. Thank you.

[sniffs, sighs]

- What did they say?
- Well, they said that, um,

we can look after him tonight
and then tomorrow they'll, uh...

Come and take him.

Probably, yeah. Yeah.

- They can't take him.
- Oh, Nikki.

No. They can't. Look at them.

Yeah, but... But we still
haven't got enough space.

[whispering] Jase, please.

We left him on his own and he ran away
and hid in the boot of a car for an hour,

and now he's holding that girl's hand
so hard his knuckles are turning white.

If there is one thing that kid
does not want it's his own space.

We finally got our family, Jase.

All we need to do
now is hold onto it.

- Oh, my God.
- What?

You asked me to marry you.

Yeah, well... technically,
I didn't get that far.

Jason.

I can't believe I forgot
you asked me to marry you.

No, it's fine. We
can, you know...

We'll... We'll
circle back to it.

I think we've got... more
important things to focus on now.

- I'll get back to it. I promise.
- Yeah, yeah. We can wait.

One expensive thing
at a time, hey?

On second thoughts, I think
we've waited long enough.

[chuckles]

[soothing music playing]

Do you know what?

I think we've got this.

Yeah? Me too.

[Tyler] Nikki, I'm scared.

Yeah. Me too.

[Nikki] You okay, sweetheart?

[song continues]

[no audible dialogue]
