Your Fault: London (2026)

[bunniefuu]

It's wild how fast life can change.

A year ago,

I moved to London for a fresh start

and everything

I was running from found me.

But somehow, I survived

and fell for the last person

I was ever supposed to.

The bad boy clich.

The kind your mother warns you about.

Too bad mine married his dad

and moved us in together.

I never stood a chance.

God, how could I resist Nick Leister?

But the only thing harder

than finding true love

is holding on to it.

Come on!

Catch me!

I couldn't believe he was mine.

I wanted to tell the whole world.

But Nick wanted to keep us a secret.

I get it.

You hide something to keep it safe.

But some secrets can't stay hidden.

They come out and blindside you.

sh*t! Damn!

- And when they do

- Whoo!

well, it's wild how fast life can change.

Fair enough. You win.

Shock.

- What do you want as your prize?

- You know what I want.

Well, you're gonna have to come get it.

Come on.

- What?

- Come on.

Nick.

Hey, come on.

Come back.

Nick.

Nick!

What are you doing?

Nick! Oh, my God. You're such a

Surprise!

Oh, my God, you guys.

Happy birthday, babe.

Who are all these people?

These people are the great and good

of British polite society, dear,

so just smile and wave.

- I haven't got a clue, all right?

- Okay.

- Hello.

- Hey.

Happy birthday.

I just can't believe

that you did all this. It's amazing.

- Was Nick really that convincing?

- Yeah, a bit too convincing.

Aw.

- They didn't have any blue ones.

- Mom.

Blue ones?

When Noah was about five, I gave her

a little bit of garden to look after,

and all she wanted to do

was grow blue roses.

You mean like those tacky fake things

you see in art shops?

I think they were beautiful, actually.

Well, you can take

the girl out of Florida.

Hey!

Here she is.

What is this?

It's for you to take to Oxford.

Aw.

- You can cuddle her if you get homesick.

- Aw.

Oh, my goodness, it's a cat.

I love it.

Now I won't be lonely at school.

- Beers have run out. Saved us two.

- Thanks, man.

Cheers, brother.

- Oh.

- Can you keep a secret?

What?

I've got my grandma's ring,

and I'm gonna propose to Jenna.

Like, what, today?

- No.

- No?

- No, no, no. Not today.

- Actually?

- Yes, actually.

- Well, congrats.

- Thank you, thank you. There's--

- Best man?

- Yes, best man. Yes.

- Okay, this is good. I'm liking this.

There's There's some stuff

- I wanna sort out first.

- Okay.

I wanna clear all my debts, you know?

Have nothing hanging over us.

I've got you. Yeah, I'm here to help.

Nick, I ain't taking your money.

But there's a race.

And I-I've bet the gym on it.

- Nah, nah. No.

- Nick?

- You know I don't do that anymore.

- No, no, no.

- You can beat this guy in your sleep.

- I'm I'm done. I'm out.

I've promised Noah. I've got work.

You win, and I'm clean.

It was a stupid bet, and I can't back out.

Come on.

Oh. Hey, guys.

Why do you look so suspicious?

Why do you look so suspicious?

Great question.

Gather around, please.

You got him good.

Nick. Wait, please.

If I do this, Noah can never find out.

For sure. We keep the girls out of it.

- Yeah?

- All right.

Some of you may already know,

but today is a double celebration.

Not only is it my beautiful,

brilliant daughter's birthday,

but she's also gotten into Oxford

where she will study Engineering Science.

No doubt she'll be technical director

of a Formula One team before you know it.

- To Noah

- To Noah.

and her bright future.

A-ha!

Is that another surprise I hear before me?

Yes. Follow me to the drive, please.

- What is going on? What is going on?

- Nearly. You're warm.

What?

Happy birthday.

- Are you being serious?

- Yes.

Something to make the drive

to Oxford a touch more fun.

No way. I love it.

Thank you.

What?

- Come on! Fire it up!

- Come on, Noah.

Fire it up!

So, good surprise?

Yeah. I don't love how easily

you lied to me though.

Hey. Organising a surprise party

isn't lying, it's romantic.

Fine.

Noah.

Hey.

Sorry to wake you,

but we have approximately three minutes.

All right.

You know, I'm gonna miss this view.

You checking me out?

Behave.

- All right, close your eyes.

- Why?

Close your eyes.

Come here.

Open them.

Happy birthday.

I love it.

This is so you don't forget

about me when you're in Oxford.

I love you.

It never gets old, hearing you say that.

Go on then.

Say it back.

Say it.

I love you too, Nick.

Mmm. Right.

Stay.

His alarm went off two minutes ago.

- When are we telling them again?

- Soon.

I just Not now.

My dad's got a lot on his mind. Okay?

- We'll tell them. Just not right now.

- Fine.

God, you look good.

I just wanna stay in bed with you.

Mmm.

See you at breakfast.

Morning, Nick.

Morning. Hey.

- You're up early.

- Yeah.

Couldn't sleep, so I just thought I'd

start working on that acquisition speech.

I could do with your help

if you don't mind.

- I'd be delighted.

- Great.

I must say, I'm very impressed

with your dedication to this launch.

- Let's go in my office.

- Great.

Uh, yeah, so I've got, like,

three openings.

- Yeah?

- Yeah

So am I getting a Porsche

for my birthday then?

- No.

- Morning.

So how's

the boxing gym going? Business good?

It's good. Um, Jenna's been fundraising

quite a bit, you know.

Getting Getting kids from different

backgrounds involved, and that.

Mmm. Yeah, honestly,

it's got so much potential.

The kids are getting so much out of it.

It's just beautiful.

- That is good.

- She's the brains, I'm the brawn.

I'd love to see some time.

Seriously.

Well, that's a sweet necklace.

Oh, yeah. Uh, it was a gift.

Who gave you that?

Uh, Jenna. It was a birthday present.

- What?

- The necklace.

Yeah, I got her that necklace.

- Oh, yeah?

- Mad budget for pressies this year, me.

- Oh.

- See what you're getting for Christmas.

Coffee, anyone?

- Yes, please.

- Yes, please. Thank you.

Gonna miss this, and you,

little miss Oxford.

I've been lookin' for it every day

and every night

I've been seein' things I like

to the left and to the right

I've been walkin' round in circles

I've been goin' out my mind

I can feel it all around me

I don't even have to try

I don't even have to try

I don't

I don't even have to try

I don't, now

You want it? You got it

I wanna take it with me

everywhere I go

Package securely delivered.

- She drives like a dream.

- Did she?

You wanted to give the chauffeur

the day off, did you?

Yeah, well, Noah has a lot of stuff, so I

thought you could use the muscle power.

Running fast, let's take it slow now

- Oh, my God.

- It's crazy.

Training to be a wizard, are you?

You want it? You got it

Oh, God. Here we go.

It's freshers drinks in the JCR tonight.

See you there?

Oh. Sounds good. Thanks.

You can bring your sister if you like.

Can't stand rugby boys.

- Oh, rugby boys are my favourite.

- Mom!

I am number 11. Where's that?

You want it? You got it

That's nice.

Do you know anything

about your neighbours?

- We could say hi.

- Yeah, maybe.

Right that's the last of them.

What do you wanna do with these?

Uh, just put Just

You can leave that there, it's fine.

- I could make the bed.

- We could help you decorate.

Uh, I'll take it from here.

She doesn't need anything else?

- No, no.

- Mmm.

Oh! Forgot her key.

Oh, yeah.

You forgot your key.

I want you

to think of me when you're out tonight.

I will.

Good.

No way.

Nick Leister.

- Briar.

- What are you doing here?

Oh, I was just, um

uh, dropping off my stepsister.

Uh, really? So, Will remarried then?

- Yeah, yeah.

- My God.

Got into Oxford then?

Well, yeah.

Look, I've gotta go, but it's, um

it's great to see you.

So convincing.

Hello. I'm Briar.

I'm in the room next door.

Oh, hey.

Which statistically means we're

pretty much doomed to be best friends,

whether we like it or not.

So I was wondering if you

wanted to just sort of jump the g*n

and start by getting pissed together?

Which one do you want?

- Hmm?

- Mister Stripes or Mister Tie?

Or Mister Ankle Socks?

- No.

- I think stripy boy has

a little crush on me,

but if you have a pref, I don't mind.

- I'm good, I'm good.

- What do you mean you're good?

- I kind of have a boyfriend.

- Noah! Absolutely not.

That is so boring for me.

Uni is literally for exploring

your options. You're young.

- You sound like my mother.

- She sounds f*cking cool then.

Seriously.

- I mean, is he hotter than those guys?

- Yeah. He is.

- Is he? Actually?

- Yeah. You'll see.

- You're gonna meet him.

- Really?

- Yeah, he dropped me off this morning.

- Okay.

- Oh, did he?

- Mm-hmm.

Okay, well, tell me everything.

It's kind of a secret.

Perfect, I love secrets.

Ooh. Sorry, sorry.

Good morning, and welcome

to aerothermal engineering.

Uh, shall we get started then?

Who can tell me what we're looking at?

How about you?

Um

Uh, that's the Brawn GP F1 car from 2009.

They found a loophole

in the air regulations

and, uh, created the double

diffuser which increases downforce.

You're both absolutely correct.

The Brawn diffuser was carefully shaped

with winglets along the edge.

Who can tell me what they do?

They manage the transition

of air between high and low spaces.

Yeah. And they're made to help

with uplift on aeroplanes.

The guy who invented them

was actually inspired by birds

who curl their wing feathers up.

You're correct.

- Yes?

- Sorry to interrupt this mating ritual

but may I continue my class, please?

Thank you.

Today we're covering

the purpose of winglets,

first applications

Well, that was fun, wasn't it?

Shouldn't have finished my sentences

if you didn't want me finishing yours.

Good. Finally met my match.

It's nice to meet you.

I'm Michael.

I'm Noah.

Okay, Noah.

So which part of America are you from?

Which posh British boarding school

spat you out?

Very good, but wrong.

See, at my school, if you spoke in class,

you were more likely to get a black eye

than a girl ask for your number.

I didn't ask you for your number.

Not yet.

Also, some second-year advice.

There's a tradition around campus that

if you drop a book in front of someone,

- they have to write their number in it.

- Is there?

Yeah, it's actually, uh,

in the Oxford handbook right there,

on page

Oops.

Let me get that for you.

Oh, my God.

Wow.

It's a little much, but lesson learned.

There.

Just in case you need me.

Maybe if I need to fact check you.

See you around, Noah.

So, you're telling me

you got called out in your first lecture?

I knew the answer.

God, you're such a teacher's pet.

I don't know about that.

It is stiff competition in intro

to aerothermal engineering.

What, is everyone a nerd?

Uh, yeah. One in particular.

One in particular?

Well, does this nerd have a name?

Uh, Michael.

He's a second year.

Yeah, well, you know I'll k*ll

any guy who comes near you.

Stop.

I'm tired.

My dad's putting a lot of pressure

on me with this merger.

I'm just nervous about Friday.

Hey, it'll be great.

I'll be there watching.

Oh, God, now I'm more nervous.

Why? If you blow it, I'll just

pull the fire alarm or something.

I love you.

I love you more. Will you stay

on the phone while I go to sleep?

Yeah, of course.

It's like you're here in my flat,

right next to me.

The press event

will be starting in 15 minutes.

Please make your way

to the conference room.

- Hiya. How you doing?

- All right.

Ooh, sh**t.

Oh, um

Use mine.

- Are you sure?

- Yeah.

Gosh, thank you so much.

You're a life saver.

You look great.

Thank you.

I'm not usually this nervous.

Maybe it's because

I'm sat next to the golden boy of tech

who's also annoyingly attractive.

What a combo, right?

Anyway, thank you. Wish me luck.

Good luck.

Please make your way

to the conference room.

Hi, sweetheart.

They're about to start, shall we sit?

- Yeah. Yeah.

- Yeah?

Now, before we wrap up today, a question

that's on everyone's minds

a-a heavy question.

Was this new direction

for Leister Enterprises

influenced by your stepdaughter's

kidnapping last June?

Actually, it was Nick's idea

to acquire a security start-up.

Um

Look, this isn't exactly easy

to talk about

because, like you're touching on, Sandra,

it hits close to home. Literally.

Um, after what happened last year,

I just

I felt like I had to do something.

Because when it's your family and

and the people you love, you protect them.

And, uh, that's why we're doing this.

It's as simple as that.

Uh, a question. Yes, David?

Question for Sophia Aitken.

Uh, the tech that you pioneered has had no

shortage of offers from Silicon Valley.

So why choose

Nick and Leister Enterprises,

who have considerably

less experience in the industry?

Well, I've always had

big ambitions for my tech

and a strong desire

to see it do well in the market,

so, yes,

I was very particular in my search.

But Nick is the first person I've met

whose passion and drive

genuinely matches my own.

Oh, well, I feel the exact same.

So, very excited

to work with him on this.

Well, hard to argue

with a connection like that.

That's all we have

time for today, folks. Thank you.

She's so impressive, isn't she?

Mm-hmm.

Shall we go back home?

Um Oh, I think I'm

I'm going to see Jenna.

Oh, really? Where are you meeting her?

I can't remember the name.

Why are you here?

What?

Why did you drive all the way from Oxford

for a boring corporate press event?

I just wanted to support the family.

Please don't lie to me.

You looked at Sophia the way

that Nick looked at those rugby players.

There's something going on

between you two.

Come on. No, I didn't, Mom.

I'm your mother. I can feel it.

Okay. I promise I was going

- I was gonna tell you.

- You're step siblings, for God's sake.

It went really well.

Nick did great.

- No, I agree.

- I knew he wouldn't let me down.

Made a great team, eh?

You're gonna be

really happy with the press coverage.

Right, ladies,

you're gonna have to excuse us,

'cause Nick and I

are gonna take Sophia to lunch.

And then throw her straight into

a big meeting this afternoon.

Uh, I haven't got it on my calendar.

I booked the afternoon off.

That's nonsense,

this is much more important.

You gotta strike

while the iron's hot.

She knows.

- Have a lovely afternoon.

- Bye, darling.

She knows.

Nick. The work starts now.

Noah, you and Nick need to end

whatever this is right now,

because if you think this is a reaction,

just wait and see what William

would do if it gets back to him.

- Hi, Ella!

- Isabelle.

Well, it sounds like London

was an absolute nightmare.

- Yeah, Nick's freaking out.

- Duh.

But you know what?

Maybe it's not the worst thing,

- if it's out in the open.

- Mmm. Okay.

Noah, wake up, he's never telling his dad.

- Okay. Come on.

- He has commitment issues.

Babe, you can't let guys play you.

They'll take advantage every time.

- Nick's not like that. You'll see.

- Will I?

I mean, we're at a buffet

of Britain's finest male specimens,

and you're not even gonna have a taste?

No? Not even a little

Oh, look who it is.

Sweet, sweet lover boy.

I'll eat him if you won't.

Look, Briar, don't say anything weird.

Never.

Oh, sh*t.

Behave.

Here.

While you were off gallivanting yesterday,

I was busy making notes on traction.

- Enjoy.

- Oh.

Uh, thank you. That is very kind of you.

Briar. So, Michael, Noah tells me

that you are a second year.

Older, wiser.

Bet you've got so much to teach us.

- She's been talking about me?

- Yeah, these notes, thank you again.

Uh, I owe you one.

You do. What about tonight?

Yes, perfect. Oh, my God,

we're going to the pub tonight.

You can be my date.

We're meeting Noah's boyfriend.

- Boyfriend?

- Yeah, boyfriend.

Boyfriend.

I don't have a boyfriend.

Cannot believe you got that one wrong.

I didn't.

You just answered first.

- Yeah, it was obviously upward thrust.

- Right.

It's not about power, it's about control.

Right, obviously. Only an idiot

wouldn't have gotten it, thank you.

Fascinating.

How's your upward thrust, Michael?

- Briar.

- Genuine question.

- It's pretty good, I think.

- Do you focus on power or control?

Guys, Nick's here.

Bit of both, I think.

Hey.

Look, they know about us. It's fine.

Guys, this is Nick.

Nick, this is Briar.

She's, um, in my halls.

Nice to meet you.

Nick, is it? I've heard a lot about you.

- And this is Michael, the guy that

- Hi.

jumped in on my answer

in the first class.

- Bailed you out.

- Mmm, I don't know about that.

Someone's a bit competitive.

I take notes for Noah when she's

skipping classes for her boyfriend.

- Right.

- So, do you take notes

for all the freshers?

No, I think it's just Noah. Yeah.

- Yeah, only the smart ones.

- Thank you.

Finally.

- And how did you guys

- We're next-door neighbours.

- Doomed to be best friends, I was told.

- Yeah. No, absolutely.

Can I get you a drink?

No, no. Drinks are on me.

- Are you getting the same again?

- Yeah.

I might get something different.

I'll go help him.

- Are you sure?

- Yeah, yeah.

Okay.

He seems really nice.

- You'll get to know him better.

- Yeah. He seems fun.

Gin and lemonade, please.

Uh, double, and you can put it on his tab.

Briar, what the hell are you doing?

I don't know what you mean.

Okay, look,

I feel bad about what happened,

but it has nothing to do with Noah,

so leave her out of it.

God, you make everything

about yourself, Nick.

I like Noah. Is that so hard to believe?

Thank you.

Would you like me to take that for you?

Otherwise you'll have

your hands a bit full.

Go on, then.

- That is

- Aw.

Better luck next Oh, darling.

- Don't cry. Don't cry, baby.

- I'm not. Shut up.

Right, watch and learn.

- Unlucky.

- Mmm.

- You can't just do that.

- Yes, I can.

Play.

Don't you just love Briar?

She's so funny.

I kind of thought

we were gonna be alone.

You want me alone?

The Los Ageless hang out by the bar

Burn the pages of unwritten memoirs

But I can keep running

No, I can keep running

How can anybody have you?

How can anybody have you and lose you?

How can anybody have you and lose you

and not lose their minds

You let yourself in, yeah?

Hey, I've always thought

this gym was nice, man.

Could do with a few touch-ups,

but, you know, it's got character.

I hear it's been

in your family for time, yeah?

Yeah, my dad left it to me when he passed.

You got ba*ls for

putting it all on the line.

That's quite the risk.

Yeah.

Shall we?

It's all there.

You're barely scraping by, man.

What you gonna do when your boy loses?

He's not gonna lose.

I'm excited.

You know, Ronnie's excited too.

I don't know whether he cares

more about taking over this sh*thole,

or making Nick pay for putting him away.

Pick that sh*t up, man.

I can't believe you bought a motorcycle.

I thought you were done

with the bad boy clichs.

I know you like it. Just admit it.

I thought you were gonna take me

for a ride this weekend.

- I'll take you for a ride right now.

- No. Duty calls.

I'm sorry, I'd love to stay,

but I've got so much work.

- Yeah, how's that going?

- Uh, good, actually.

I'm learning a lot.

Sophia has a lot to teach.

- Who's the teacher's pet now?

- Ha, ha. Very funny.

I think you'd like her, you know.

She's coming on Saturday to the tennis.

- Why?

- I don't know, my dad invited her.

Great, family lunch, and Sophia.

We're just playing pretend.

I don't wanna keep hiding us

now that my mom knows, okay?

I don't know how much longer

I can keep on doing this.

Hey. Let's not be dramatic.

You look beautiful.

Wonderful shot!

William, I didn't take you

for a professional.

Ooh.

I like that.

One second, Noah, me and Sophia just

need to finish thrashing the opposition.

That was fantastic.

Great shot.

Come on!

Beautiful.

Lovely stroke, Nick.

Good game. Yes.

That's 40-love.

Lovely.

Strong backhand.

Come on, Sophia.

- Oh, yes!

- Yes!

- Yes!

- Yes!

Give me some.

We are the best. Well done, everybody.

- Well done.

- Good game.

- Good game.

- Good game.

- Fantastic. Well done.

- Well done.

Hi, sweetheart.

Noah, have you met Sophia?

- Leister Enterprises' hottest recruit.

- Oh.

Yeah. Yeah, we met at the launch.

Yeah. Sorry, I feel like I took your spot.

Did you want to play?

Noah hates tennis.

- Why? It's so much fun.

- Of course it is

with a game as strong as yours.

You were rather carrying

your team, I thought.

Well, I guess we're taking it

in turns then.

You should've seen Nick

at the investment meeting, Will.

- He was brilliant.

- Now,

will you join us for lunch at the club?

- Oh, no. Too much to prepare for Monday.

- Oh, do.

Oh, come on, Monday's ages away.

I think she said she couldn't.

Okay, well, I have a couple of calls

to catch up on,

- but then I'll come join you.

- Awesome.

Working on a Saturday? Wow.

You should take note, Nick.

Gosh, she's got great tennis game.

You'd think she was a semi-pro.

She's, like, real head-girl energy.

Now that is

an impressive young woman.

You two really complement each other,

on the court, in the office.

Have you considered

teaming up socially, perhaps?

- Dad.

- Come on! You'd make a great couple.

Wouldn't they, ladies?

- She is lovely.

- Mom.

What?

She's a very eligible bachelorette.

If you're not seeing anyone,

why not throw your hat in the ring?

Yeah. Why not, Nick?

Throw your hat in the ring?

She really is the full package.

Am I missing something?

Well, are you seeing someone?

Noah, don't.

Oh, that's right. He is.

Me.

Have you thought about this at all?

What happens when you fall out?

Dad.

Say something.

What do you expect me to say?

I don't know how you can be so reckless.

Can you imagine if this got out?

One seedy tabloid headline

and the investors would run for the hills!

This isn't about ethics.

This is about optics.

And I will not let you

destroy the family business.

I don't see what we're doing wrong.

Okay, if this is so serious,

then I'm sure you'd be willing

to make the necessary sacrifices.

If you choose to pursue this relationship,

then Nick,

you can cease working

for Leister Enterprises for good.

- Dad

- And, Noah,

you can either find another way to pay

your tuition fees for Oxford or drop out.

William

So sorry to make you all wait.

Oh, don't be so silly. Perfectly timed.

How was the call?

Great, yeah.

- I'll drop you an email on Monday.

- Ah, excellent.

That went a lot worse

than I thought it would.

Really? 'Cause that seemed

to go pretty well to me.

Oh, God.

This is exactly what I was avoiding!

The exact thing!

Sorry. Okay, I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

I just think

that we could've handled that way better.

I know.

- What are we gonna do?

- I don't know.

Okay, we-we have to lay low.

Make them Make them think it's over,

and then we-we have to be

on our best behaviour.

- Yeah.

- Yeah?

Back to sneaking around.

Why don't we stay at yours tonight?

Spend the day together tomorrow.

- I don't wanna have to go back with them

- I can't tonight. I've got work tomorrow.

It's a Sunday.

It's like a It's like a Zoom

It's like a Zoom thing.

Zoom with a colleague.

Okay. Of course you do.

It just couldn't have gone

any worse.

sh*t, I didn't realise William

had it in him.

And my mom was just sat there,

saying nothing.

I just wish I could talk to Nick,

but he's working, so I can't.

Uh, yeah, so about

So we're back

to sneaking around and lying.

So are we just gonna, what, pretend

to break up? Fake break up?

I don't know. It just feels like

we're taking steps back,

- not steps forward.

- On the subject of lying, um,

I don't think Nick's at work today.

- What?

- I got a text from Zach.

"Yo, Jen, you coming?" and his location.

They're at an abandoned airbase

at the moment.

What does that mean?

If I know our boys, they're not exactly

there to soak up the history of the place.

You've gotta be kidding me.

Oh, my God. This race really

couldn't have come at a worse time.

And why is there always so much drama?

All she had to do

was wait two weeks at most.

What does she go do?

Tells my dad at tennis.

- Do you get what I mean?

- Yes. Yeah, yeah.

Look, let's save it for Monday, all right?

All this stuff with your dad, okay?

But right now, I need you to lock in.

Let's start a fight, let's start a fight

let's start a fight

- Ooh.

- You're joking.

Oh, my God.

Wow. Who you meant to be?

Ronnie's back up dancer?

I see the big man with the sh*t hair

and the knitted vest.

What you doing, man? Where you been?

I thought your girl had you on a leash.

Isn't that right, Lion?

This guy.

Is something funny to you?

Everything you say is funny.

You know what is funny?

- What?

- If you don't win,

your boy's gym is mine.

Save your boy, man.

Cruz? I'm racing Cruz?

Yeah, I mentioned. I mentioned.

- You didn't mention that.

- A race is a race, come on. Lock in.

- Is he wearing a crop top?

- Here we go.

- My boy.

- Great, just what I needed.

Seems the girlfriends

are letting 'em out to play.

Nah, we've just got better places

to be than you, JP.

I'm glad it's you behind the wheel.

Lion would've got battered.

Okay, okay. That's why he's my best man.

Let's go. Let's do it. Love.

- He good?

- Yeah. Yeah, he's sweet, man.

He's good, he's good.

Today just might not be the day for all

the girlfriend chit-chat, you feel me?

Speaking of girlfriends, Jenna's coming.

What do you mean, Jenna's coming?

Jenna. I texted her.

Why? Is that a problem?

Put your mouth to mine and give me CPR

Call the triple nine and give me CPR

No, no, no. God.

- Noah. What are you doing here?

- I could ask you the same thing.

- Is this your Zoom with a colleague?

- Get out the car.

The race is about to start. Get out.

Get out the car! It's about to start!

Let's f*cking go.

If you race, I race.

sh*t!

Yeah, boy, I'm coming for you.

- I know you're mad.

- What the f*ck are you doing here?

- I thought we were done with this sh*t.

- I'm sorry, I'm here for Lion.

- That's not helping, you both promised!

- Yes, and we meant it.

It was It was a last-minute thing.

- Last minute thing?

- They called me. I showed up, okay?

Have you bet our money on this race? Lion?

Just one last race, okay?

And then we're done.

But I have to win, otherwise this

will have all been for nothing.

I can't drive and debate

with you at the same f*cking time!

Fine!

- Get in the slipstream.

- What?

Do you wanna win?

Oh, you think you can get ahead, yeah?

I'm right behind you.

You can out-brake him,

just pull the inside line.

Holding.

Watch out, watch out, watch out!

Told you.

Why's he so fast, man?

Why you driving a Ford Focus, man?

Get out the way!

What?

I make the rules, yeah?

Where's he gone?

- sh*t.

- No way is that part of the track!

sh*t, sh*t, sh*t, sh*t.

Go, go, go, go!

Your gym's mine, man!

- sh*t.

- Go, go, go, go.

- Come on!

- What the hell?

- No!

- Yes!

Come on!

Bap, bap, bap. Come on, bro.

I'm sorry.

What's the point of being the best

if no one knows it?

Come on!

- Nick, he cheated.

- Don't.

- How f*cking dare he?

- Noah, don't.

- That's how you do it, bro.

- Hey!

You cheated.

That wasn't part of the track.

Prove it.

- I want a rematch.

- I don't do rematches.

- Noah, come on. Let's go.

- Ooh, Noah?

I know you.

Nick, this is your girl, yeah?

You know what?

Normally, I don't do rematches,

but for a legend like you,

I can make an exception.

No, Noah.

- Let's do it.

- Get in your car.

Come on, Noah.

You're just making it worse.

Lion, let's see if this girl

can save your gym.

We're going again!

Yo, boss man. I won.

And you'll never guess who just asked me

for a rematch.

The one person you hate more

than Nick Leister.

No way.

Come on, Noah.

Why can't you stay out of sh*t

that has nothing to do with you?

Okay? We were handling it.

- You bet the gym on a race?

- I didn't have a choice.

Classic.

- sh*t.

- Where's Jenna?

We need to go.

- Jenna!

- Lion, come on. We gotta go.

Get in the car. We gotta go.

Hey. I'll let you know

when and where, yeah?

Go, go, go, go.

- You're not racing that guy.

- But I'll win, easily.

- I don't care if you win. It's not safe.

- So it's fine for you to do it,

- but not for me?

- No, it's not fine.

It was stupid, I shouldn't have done it.

But you have to admit,

it was a little fun.

Jen? Jen?

I'm taking responsibility, all right?

Look, please. Please.

- Lion, not now. No.

- Please.

Babe, can I come with you

to Oxford for a couple of days?

- Yeah.

- Yeah?

- You good?

- Yeah.

- Got left with a warning, so I'm great.

- She's good, she's good. Jen?

But now I'm warning you to leave me alone.

Just talk to me, please.

Lion, I love you,

but I need a minute, okay?

Okay?

Yeah.

Sort your sh*t out, man.

I love you.

I'm sorry, man.

All right? I lied to you, and

- Noah's not racing Cruz.

- No way.

- I know.

- If she knew he worked for Ronnie

Of course. Of course, I get it.

I just

I don't know what I'm gonna do, bro.

I'm

I'm gonna lose the gym,

I'm gonna lose Jenna.

Right, look,

I'm gonna say this for the last time.

Let me help you.

How?

I've seen Jenna's business plans.

They're good.

Let me take them to the company, show them

to the board, let us invest in you.

I'm not gonna let you say no, so

- You're crazy.

- Yeah?

I love you, man.

- Nice.

- Why are you so bad?

Come on, come on.

Oh, gosh.

- Hey.

- Hi.

Glad you liked your flowers.

Yeah.

I'm impressed you remembered.

Are you still with Jenna?

How's she doing?

Um

Yeah, she's okay.

We're dressing up for the British Icons

party tonight. Spice Girls.

- Fancy dress? Is there

- Pause! Sorry, um,

I'm currently thrashing Michael

at this vid video game!

Yes!

You too hang out a lot.

Yeah, he's he's just a friend.

Yeah, as long as he knows that.

Listen, don't freak out.

Why would I freak out?

I have to go on a little work trip,

um, to meet some investors.

It's only one night. We have to play golf.

Which is annoying, because

I'm even worse at that than tennis.

We?

Me and Sophia.

Right.

Well, you too hang out a lot.

Yes, for work, Noah.

She's just a colleague.

- As long as she knows that.

- She knows.

Listen,

we can still do our goodnight call.

I have a dinner first,

but I'll call you after, okay?

I promise.

Yeah. Okay, fine.

What time do you

Yes. I'll get the files

to you by end of play.

- Nick?

- Yeah. Take care.

Nicholas.

Have you taken care

of what we spoke about?

You okay, babe?

- Uh, yeah.

- Yeah?

Yeah. Yeah, it's, uh, sorted.

Good.

Listen, I plan to oversee this deal.

But you've proven to me

that you're more than up to the task.

You're starting to remind me

of myself when I was your age.

I want you to lead on this.

Really?

This was always part of the plan,

you know.

Look

I know I wasn't around

a lot when you were younger.

I was busy building all of this for you.

Are you scared

of heights or something?

No, I'm scared of golf.

You're all over the pitch,

that's what matters.

- Yeah?

- Yeah.

You have a very clear, very compelling

vision for the business, Nick.

You're gonna smash it.

Okay.

Let's do this.

Four!

I need to get a grip,

I need to get a grip.

This is humiliating.

Don't worry,

it's better for business if you lose.

You're doing great.

I think I'm just terrified

of disappointing my dad.

- It's pathetic, isn't it?

- No, I get it.

My house was a bit of a pressure cooker

growing up.

My mum had an affair.

And I saw how ruthless my dad is with

people who disappoint him, so I didn't.

I made sure I was perfect.

At everything.

Well, we have a lot in common,

except I did the complete opposite.

Went completely off the rails.

Drink, drugs, ill*gal racing, fighting.

As you do.

- So, I've got a lot to prove.

- Hmm.

Well, well, well. Aren't you a dark horse?

That's the wrong one.

Back to 1999

- No, get closer.

- Come on, take a picture.

Yes, smile. Whoo!

Yes, Jenna.

- Oh, wait, be careful.

- Oh, my God, yes.

You look great.

Cheers!

Michael!

I just wanna go back, back to 1999

Take a ride to my old neighborhood

We've had a great day of playing golf.

Well, some of us.

We're building so much more

than just a company.

We're building something that will

hopefully shift the entire landscape

of security technology,

which is why Nick and I feel so confident

in this partnership.

We're ready to move forward when you are.

Cheers.

Cheers.

Okay. Okay, okay, okay.

Truth or dare?

- Truth.

- Ooh.

Um, okay.

Tell Tell us something

that you've never told Nick.

- You cheeky girl.

- I'm not sure if he knows everything

Okay.

- Go on.

- Don't tell him.

I'm kind of excited to race Cruz.

Wait, his name is Cruz,

and he races cars?

You should've seen this guy.

What kind of prick gets the word

"savage" tattooed on his own face?

He was wearing my outfit.

- Wait, why do you wanna race this guy?

- I don't know.

I kind of I guess I ran away from racing

after everything that happened

with my dad.

So, this feels like a sign.

- To face my fear.

- Mm-hmm.

You remind me of my mum.

- I'm sorry, what?

- Excellent.

- It's a compliment.

- Is it?

She's a boss.

No, she's a boss.

Yeah, she flew jets

for the Royal Air Force.

- Mad. Really?

- No way.

Yeah, big adrenaline junkie, like you.

And she saw some dark sh*t.

And she always said that the only way

to deal with her trauma

was to get back in the c*ck.

- She sounds awesome.

- She is.

I-I'd love to see you race.

Well, you should come.

- It's kind of like hush-hush though.

- 'Scuse, 'scuse. Coming through.

Noah, slightly awkward question for you.

- Mm-hmm?

- Um,

a girl at the bar was asking about Nick.

She said that she saw you guys together,

and she was just, like,

wondering if you're an item,

and if not, uh,

whether you could hook her up.

- Oh. Right.

- Yeah, I know, big stalker vibes.

Thing is, I wasn't really sure,

like, what like, what to say.

What were you so unsure about?

He is your boyfriend, isn't he?

Y-Yeah, yeah.

- Yeah, but it's a secret.

- It's just, we're kind of keeping it quiet

at the moment, um,

just 'cause of his work situation.

Right.

- It's not a big deal.

- Mmm.

Can we not talk about

our dickhead boyfriends for one night

and just get really wasted

and have a little boogie?

Let's dance!

Did we actually just do that?

- Yeah.

- You were incredible.

- Thank you.

- Let's party.

Okay.

That's everything from my room.

Tequila.

- Congratulations, good sir.

- Congratulations.

- We did the deal. We did the deal.

- We did the deal.

Yeah, yeah

Hey, hey

Yeah, yeah

All the crazy sh*t I did tonight

Those will be the best memories

I just wanna let it go for the night

- Hey, get off your phone!

- Are you okay?

Come on then.

All the crazy sh*t I did tonight

Those will be the best memories

Hey, it's me.

Uh, guess you're still at your dinner?

Call me after? Uh, love you.

Hey, hey

Yeah, yeah

Hey, hey

Yeah, yeah

It's gettin' late but I don't mind

It's gettin' late but I don't mind

It's hot in here.

Let's get some air.

Okay.

All the crazy sh*t I did tonight

Those will be the best memories

I just wanna let it go for the night

This is cool.

Okay, your second-year knowledge

finally coming in handy.

Hey, can I ask you a question?

Sure.

sh**t.

Do you really just not mind

keeping your relationship

with Nick a secret?

Of course I mind.

It's humiliating.

You don't have to say anything.

I know you think I'm pathetic.

- I can feel you pitying me from here.

- Noah, I-I

I don't think that.

If I was pitying anyone, it was Nick.

Nick?

Well, you're clearly crazy about him,

and he's too insecure to enjoy it.

Nick's a lot of things,

but he's not insecure.

We're all insecure.

Some of us just hide it

better than others.

If that's the truth,

why didn't he just talk to me about it?

But it can be tough. Especially for guys.

We are conditioned to put up a front.

You're a guy.

How come you're so

open?

Being emotionally available

helps me pick up girls.

I'm serious.

I'm serious.

My therapy bills are high,

but it's worth every penny.

Does that line actually work?

I don't know yet.

How the f*ck do we get down?

The stairs.

Right.

Get down. Get down.

I think they've gone.

Wait, why are we hiding?

I don't know.

- I feel terrible.

- Why?

- Because.

- Because what?

I hate noisy hotel guests. They are

selfish pricks who deserve to die.

And now I am one.

Deserve to die? That's a little bit harsh,

don't you think?

- Mmm.

- Am I in danger?

Maybe.

A cold-blooded k*ller.

I knew it.

Well, maybe you're

getting to know me better.

- What else don't I know?

- Hmm.

I can't show you yet.

But I am full of surprises.

Oh, okay.

Who am I kidding?

I'm usually very buttoned up.

That's not how I see you.

How do you see me, Nick?

It's late.

I should probably go.

Do you have to?

Yeah.

Goodnight.

sh*t.

sh*t.

Hey, you've reached Noah. Leave a message.

Hey, Noah. It's me.

I'm so sorry I missed our call.

I fell asleep early, I was so tired.

But, you know, I'm gonna come to Oxford

today. I'm gonna come make it up to you.

All right? I'm sorry. Love you.

So, I'd call that a successful trip.

Yep.

- Even if the celebrations got a bit

- Yeah.

It's probably safe to say

we both had a bit too much to drink.

Right. Shall we?

Yeah.

Hey, you've reached Noah, leave a message.

Noah, can you call me back?

I'm started to get really worried.

Okay? I need to know

you got home last night.

I'm on my way to Oxford, call me back.

Wait, come here.

Oh, hey. Do you wanna come in?

Who is it?

What the f*ck are you doing

- in my girlfriend's--

- Nick, stop!

Oh, brilliant. Morning, Leister.

Got some energy today?

No, he went to sleep early, remember?

Oh. So you did get my messages?

So you're ignoring my calls?

- Is that what's happening?

- Well, why didn't you call me last night?

Maybe we should give

these guys some privacy.

Yes. Good luck, babe.

- Get out of my face.

- Nice to see you too, mate.

Go and see Lion, he's miserable.

Oh, okay, moody boy.

- Do you want me to stay?

- No, it's fine. Thank you.

- Are you sure?

- Yeah. Thanks.

- Shall I Do you want me to

- Yes.

- Well, that was embarrassing, wasn't it?

- Why is he in your room?

Why are you here? Nick, you ignore me

all night, and then you just barge in.

Can we have this conversation

somewhere else,

- without your friends listening in?

- Fine.

Let's go to yours.

So, are you gonna keep giving me

the silent treatment,

or do you wanna talk like adults?

Fine, let's talk like adults.

Are you gonna go first, or shall I?

What happened last night?

I told you, I fell asleep.

No, you told me you were gonna call me.

That's what you told me.

I was waiting up for you.

I know, and

I apologised, okay?

- But I literally just missed your call.

- Okay, well, the last guy that said that

was literally f*cking my best friend

behind my back, so

- I'm not Dan. Don't compare me to Dan.

- I know you're not.

But when you specifically tell me

you're gonna call me and you don't,

and I know that you're staying in a hotel

- with a girl who clearly likes you

- Oh, my God. For work!

- my mind goes there.

- Nothing happened, Noah.

It takes two seconds to call me, Nick,

and one second to pick up the phone.

Yeah, well, it takes no seconds

to not be all over Michael.

- What does that even mean?

- I saw the photos from last night.

- That guy is all over you.

- Oh, my God, Nick,

- his arm was around me in a group photo.

- So you know what I'm talking about?

Are you threatened by Michael?

- No, I'm not threatened by Michael.

- Just say it. You're threatened.

- Don't do that. Stop! That pisses me off!

- What?

I'll stop when you stop acting like a baby

and own up to how you feel.

You can talk!

You're literally jealous of Sophia!

Yes. Yes, I am.

I'm jealous of Sophia, okay?

But at least

I can f*cking say it.

Okay, fine, I'm jealous of Michael.

Are you happy now?

I don't like that he spends

more time with you than I do,

I don't like that it feels like

he's replacing me,

I know that he's waiting for his moment,

but he's not gonna get his moment

because you're mine.

You don't own me.

I know I don't own you.

But you're still mine.

Say it again.

You're mine.

Tell me who I am

Do I provoke you

with my tone of innocence?

Don't ask too many questions

that is my one suggestion

You know I keep it real

I live for the appeal

Knew it from the start

It was the only way

to mend my broken heart

Don't ask too many questions

This is my one confession

It never was enough

I always wanted more

I always wanted more

Fame is a g*n

and I point it blind

Crash and burn, girl

Baby, swallow it dry

You've got a front row seat

and I

I got a taste of the glamorous life

Nothing makes me feel as good

as being loved by you

Fame is a g*n

and I point it blind

Crash and burn, girl

Baby, swallow it dry

You've got a front row seat

and I

I got a taste of the glamorous life

I got a taste of the glamorous life

Cheers, cheers, cheers.

Don't get mad at me,

but I might've got a bit carried away.

Nick!

- It's not that bad.

- A hickey?

- It is quite bad.

- Is this high school?

I've marked you,

now everyone's gonna know you're mine.

Okay. Well, how would you like it

if I marked you?

I'd bloody love it.

- Mark me.

- Well, then.

Where are you going?

All right. Stay still.

- No, not pen. No, not pen.

- I'm not giving you a hickey.

- I'm not 12.

- Okay, do it there then.

Okay. Ready?

I'm sorry we argued.

I'm sorry too.

You know you have nothing

to worry about with Michael.

And I promise you, you have absolutely

nothing to worry about with Sophia.

I like this.

When you're honest with me.

I just need to know

what's going on up there.

It's hard when we're apart.

I love it.

Hey, do you think Jenna

and Lion will be okay?

I do.

Lion's coming in to the office next week.

Leister Enterprises

is investing in his gym.

Yeah, we're coming on as a partner.

Lion's gonna be at the helm.

We're gonna settle his debts.

That's amazing.

And now, you don't have

to race that guy anymore.

Because we've paid him back.

That's a good thing.

I know, I know. I know. I know.

I don't know, part of me was kind of

looking forward to getting

behind the wheel, feeling

in control again.

Noah, please promise me you won't do that.

Forget it. Jenna is gonna be so happy

about the gym.

She is.

Everything feels like it's gonna be okay.

Hi.

I'm sorry.

See, right now, I need you

I'll meet you somewhere now

You up now, I see you

I get you, take care now

Slow down, be cool

I miss you, come here now

Who does he look like?

I need you right now

Once I leave you I'm strung out

If I get you

- Morning.

- Morning.

I'm slowly breaking down

- You're early.

- I knew you were gonna say that.

I knew you'd just

Well, it's not my fault

you're so predictable.

Oh.

You gotta say that you're sorry

at the end of the night

Wake up in the morning

Everything's alright

At the end of the story

you're holdin' me tight

I don't need to worry

Am I out of my mind

But I wish you were right here

Oh, come on, go faster.

Hold on tight!

All this time I'm thinking

I'm strong enough to sink it

Oh, no, I don't need you

but I miss you, come here

What?

Nothing.

I'm just imagining you and Nick

in Ancient Greece.

What do you mean by that, Briar?

No, it's just your situation,

it would just be funny.

Like, if you were a goddess,

and he was a god. You know?

'Cause their punishments were brutal.

And you forgave him, like, super quickly.

I know you think Nick is possessive,

but I get jealous too.

- It's just 'cause we care.

- Mmm.

It's a bit toxic though, no?

Speaking of getting jealous, have you,

uh, stalked Sophia lately?

No, Briar, I don't do that stuff.

What do you mean?

Well, she's not my friend.

No, she's your arch enemy. Look.

Yeah.

They were playing golf with an investor.

It's a work thing.

A work thing?

Shush yourself.

Jesus Christ.

Well, you know what they say,

work hard, play hard?

Wait.

What?

Didn't Nick say he missed your call

because he fell asleep early?

Yes.

Hiya, fancy seeing you two here.

What you two working on?

What's up her arse?

- You all right?

- What?

Noah? Noah?

What's going on?

What do you think?

Hey, you.

- Thank you.

- Why didn't you answer my call?

At the hotel?

Tell me the truth.

I told you. I fell asleep.

- Don't lie to me.

- What?

Sophia posted pictures of you

in her hotel room at 2.00 a.m.

Okay, look, I know this is gonna look bad.

Nick, what were you doing in her room?

Nothing happened that night, okay?

I promise you.

You have to believe me.

I lost track of time.

Why should I believe you?

Okay, I'm sorry. It was just a white lie.

I didn't want you

to get jealous over nothing.

We literally just went to her hotel room.

We had some ch some champagne,

and we, like We were

just celebrating closing the deal.

It was nothing. I promise you.

Does she know about me?

About us?

Sophia? No. What?

No, she works for my dad.

That would be too risky.

- Of course not.

- Then it wasn't nothing, Nick.

Even if you are telling the truth.

When a girl likes you

and she thinks you're single,

and you're in her f*cking room

at 2.00 a.m., that is not nothing.

- But I didn't--

- When you lied to me about it,

that is a huge betrayal.

Noah?

I've been trying

to tell her, but she's not listening.

- I mean, she's right to be jealous.

- Wait.

Are you okay?

No, I'm not okay.

What happened?

You were right.

He's a piece of sh*t!

He's a total piece of sh*t, Noah.

f*ck, I'm so f*cking angry, I just wanna

What?

What do you wanna do?

- We'll do it.

- Yeah.

Do you have plans tonight?

No.

I wanna drive.

Really f*cking fast.

- And you're gonna go with her?

- Yeah.

Have fun!

Do you mind?

Can you not see that we're in crisis?

I don't think I like you anymore

I don't know how we got here

Wow.

Smooth.

- Wait, do you know all these people?

- Oh!

If it isn't my favourite little toy,

and, uh

Who's this weirdo? You're not Nick.

f*ck off, Tom.

- Oi, she's a feisty one, isn't she?

- Yeah. She is.

By the way, babes, if you ever need

a drink, you know where to find me.

Oh, my

You smashed my nose again!

Ah, that felt good.

Why is it always the nose, bro?

Who are you?

Ah, look at you,

look at you, look at you, huh?

I was surprised to hear the race

was back on.

Aw. Did you get dressed up

just for me, yeah?

You did, innit?

Let's see if you're still laughing

after the race.

Yeah, we will.

What you looking at?

- She there yet?

- She's right on time.

Good. Call me before you start.

I'll stay on the phone with you.

When she's ahead of you, just let us know,

and we'll take care of the rest.

But what if I'm winning?

She's gonna be behind me.

Cruz, my son, she's gonna wipe

the f*cking floor with you

so you don't need to know the plan.

Okay? Is Nick there?

- I want him to see this.

- Nah, she's with some random.

That won't do.

Right, so I'm just, like

fine--

Did not just hang up on me.

Noah, I'm sorry, I f*cked up,

I was just trying to protect you, okay?

I'm coming to talk.

Hey, Noah?

Hello, mate. How you doing?

It's good to hear your voice.

Ronnie.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I just wanted

to give you a quick bell, mate.

I'm still here. I'm still here.

I hear that your girlfriend's racing

my boy tonight, and, uh,

well, I just wanted to say

that I'm gutted I can't be there.

You better hurry up, mate,

it's gonna be one to remember.

sh*t. sh*t.

Are you okay?

Yeah.

Are you sure you wanna do this?

'Cause you don't have to.

I know. I want to.

Hey, I'll see you at the finish line.

You got this.

I know.

I thought I'd let you know, that's

the steering wheel, that's the shift,

and just put the car in cruise control.

Oi!

Ronnie sends his love, yeah?

sh*t!

f*ck. Come on.

What's going on? Talk to me, mate.

Boss man, I

She's way behind.

I thought you said this girl could drive.

Don't worry, she'll catch you.

Here we go.

Come on, yeah.

Come on, catch up.

Oh, I'm coming for you, girl.

Don't you f*cking dare.

I told you, she's the best.

Come on, come on, come on.

There it is.

Where is she?

You're too late, bro.

Since when is there a bike?

You've gotta tell me the plan, man.

Good, Nick's here. Always the hero.

Come on, Noah!

Wait, where's he gone?

Cruz, come on, mate.

Keep speaking to me, son. Where is he?

I can't see anything, man. I'm trying

I'm doing ten things at once, bro.

All right, everything's in place.

Tell me when.

All right. But wait, for what?

He's right in front of me.

- What the f*ck?

- Noah, pull over.

- Pull the car over.

- What?

Whoa!

I told you to stop.

It's not safe.

- What the f*ck are you doing, Nick?

- It's a trap!

All right, I guess I'm gonna win.

I'm gonna do you proud, Ron-Ron!

Wait. What did you say?

Coming now, get ready.

- Cruz, can you hear me?

- They're behind me.

- Cruz.

- I did it, Ronnie!

Go, go, go! Deploy!

I did it!

Cruz.

f*ck!

Cruz, bro. You all right?

- You okay?

- Yeah.

What happened?

- Get your f*cking hands off her!

- Mate, I'm just checking if she's okay.

When are you gonna get it

in your thick little head?

Stop! Stop it!

What are you doing?

- Did he bring you here?

- No! I brought myself here!

Noah, why?

You promised me you wouldn't race!

Oh, I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, Nick, does it hurt

that I broke a promise I made?

Is this a joke to you?

Cruz is working with Ronnie!

This is a set-up!

- Don't f*cking come near her.

- You knew that?

You knew that?

- Come on.

- Can you just give me a second, Michael?

Noah, I was trying to protect you.

I didn't wanna scare you, okay?

This is exactly

what I was trying to prevent.

Are you serious?

Nick, how do you not understand

that if you'd have just told me the truth,

none of this would have happened?

You always do this, Nick.

You withhold these little pieces

of the truth to protect me,

and it just hurts more!

I don't know

I don't know if I can do this anymore.

- Go on then, go back to Michael.

- Oh, my God, Nick,

- do you even care about me?

- Yes, I care.

I care whether my girlfriend wants

to f*ck another guy.

I don't wanna f*ck Michael!

But I'm not really

your girlfriend either, am I?

Not in public, not in front of

our parents, not in front of Sophia.

Okay then, Noah,

what do you expect me to do?

- I don't

- Go on. No, you

- Tell me what you expect me to do.

- I don't know, Nick,

but we can't keep doing this.

I'm exhausted.

What's that supposed to mean?

This is it.

I think we need to take a break.

You want a break?

- I need some space and some time.

- Do you want to take a break?

And then you need to figure out

what your priorities are.

You want a break?

Fine, I'll give you a break.

Losin' track of time

and my head went quiet

It only ever happened with you

Losin' all the weight

of the world on fire

It only ever happened with you

Now, baby, when I try to walk

my gaze is out of focus

I know it's in the name of healin'

you and I don't talk

I'm tryin' to remember

all the reasons that we parted

But my brain keeps clouding up

'Cause all I know is when we loved

it didn't seem so loud for once

Four.

Easy, breathe.

One, two, step, left upper hand.

Relax, all right? Eight.

- You wanna talk about it?

- No, I'm good.

Let's talk about it. What's up?

Is she coming?

To the gym reopening?

Yeah, but not for you, for Jenna.

All right. Okay. Let's go.

Listen, listen, there's a lot of emotions

hanging over from the race.

You were trying to protect her, clearly,

but maybe it landed like control.

You've just gotta let

things air out, all right?

I can't lose her.

It's gonna work out, man.

You're gonna be good.

I promise, all right?

Jab.

Hi, babe.

Just wellness check. Anything I can do?

If you promise

to hold my hand at the party.

I'm not really looking forward

to seeing Nick or talking to my mom.

Or William or Sophia.

- What?

- I know, I know.

But it's-it's a Leister Enterprises thing.

She has to be there.

But I'll be there too.

I'll hold your hand.

Promise.

Okay.

- Death grip, yeah?

- Duh.

You are still gonna come, right?

Yeah, of course. I wouldn't miss it.

I'm glad. Appreciate ya.

Bye. Love you.

Noah!

Oh, would you look at that.

It's Noah Morgan, back from the dead.

- You all right?

- Yeah.

- Are you headed back to campus?

- Uh, I am now.

- I finally get my chance.

- What?

To beat you in a race.

I've got a head start.

Oh, have you? Okay.

Whoo!

You don't know who you're racing, dude.

Come on.

Come on then.

Watch out, watch out, watch out!

Come on, then.

- Go, go, go.

- No, no, no, no.

It's a dream come true, really.

I just believe that boxing provides

a lifeline for these kids, you know.

One, two.

Good. One, two, slip, slip, roll.

Good, I like that.

Don't forget to exhale when you punch,

inhale between punches.

Okay, one, two.

Jenna here has put so much work

making it a welcome space.

Oh, babe. Ah, I'm so glad you're here.

I am so proud of you.

Aw, thank you.

Everyone did such a good job, and

Mmm. He's in the back corner.

He got here super early

to help set everything up.

He's really took this

whole business partnership thing to heart.

And he's more nervous than you.

I promise. If that helps in any way.

Yeah, it helps.

You had a drink?

- Not yet.

- No?

- Uh, Mum's incoming.

- Jen?

- Behind me.

- Good luck.

- Okay.

- Yeah, coming.

- I'm gonna do this. You'll be fine.

- Yeah. Yeah.

- Jen?

- Coming, coming, coming.

Hello, Noah.

How are you?

Been better.

I've really missed you.

Dying to hear how college is.

I feel so out of the loop.

Whose fault is that?

You'll come to this, won't you?

Wouldn't be the same without you.

Right.

Optics. Wouldn't want the PR to suffer.

Hello everyone. Uh, yeah,

I appreciate you for coming.

We're so grateful to finally

be sharing this with you all, you know?

Um, I have to start by thanking Nick

and everyone at Leister Enterprises.

Nick, truly, I don't know

what I'd do without you, man,

so so thank you. Thank you.

And, of course, there is

there is another person

that none of this is possible without.

Uh, Jenna.

Yeah!

Now I know

you don't like the attention,

so I'm gonna be quick, all right?

None of this exists without you.

All right, you've

you got this rare ability

to leave things better

than how you found them,

including me,

and I just

I can't get over how lucky I am.

When we met, I didn't think

you'd give me the time of day,

so the fact

that you're still here right now

baffles me, truly.

Jenna, I love you.

What's this?

Just a little something.

What you doing?

Will you marry me?

No.

- Not no. Just get up, get up.

- Hmm?

You don't have to kneel.

But you do wanna marry me, yeah?

Yeah. Yeah, I do.

It's Grandma's, innit?

Yes! Wassup, wassup?

Babe, look.

Oh, my God, Jen.

Hey, everyone, good work.

I'm so happy for you.

Proper stressful for a minute,

I didn't know what you were gonna say.

That's mean.

- Men, we're best men.

- Yeah.

I'm engaged.

We're getting married!

- She said yes.

- Can you believe it? Look.

- Beyonc. I like the sound of that.

- Whoo!

I'm not gonna stop,

that's the plan.

No, I know, but it's actually

a thing. It's getting actually

I'll try and explain, again.

You coming or not?

- Come on, darling.

- Put a smile on that dial.

Come on. Oh.

I-I thought this

was a group project.

I get it.

You're good at everything.

Come on, Noah

put a little bit of effort in.

Right.

Hey, Noah. Um

No.

One of the many other women

who hates your guts. Try again.

Briar, put Noah on.

She doesn't wanna talk to you.

Briar, please.

- Just

- No, you really hurt her, Nick.

But she's

she's actually finally moved on.

You win. Oh, my God.

What do you mean, "moved on"?

Read between the lines, Nick.

There's a reason why

she's not answering your call.

So if you really care about her,

you'll just leave her alone.

Michael.

She's happy.

Don't ruin it.

She's happy?

Michael, stop.

Yeah.

Now, can we be done? I'm just

I'm not in the mood today.

It's all good. I understand.

Uh, Nick?

Nick?

Thank you, everyone.

Um, let's pick this up tomorrow.

Noah, darling?

- Go away.

- Right, that's it.

Tragic.

Enough!

You are torturing yourself, darling.

It is 2.00 p.m. The sun is shining.

And there is no reason to still be in bed,

unless you're as hungover as I am,

which you are not, because you don't

go out anymore.

I can't believe

he still hasn't even called.

I just

Why does it hurt so bad?

I know.

I've been there. It sucks.

What happened?

A few years ago,

I was really in love with this guy.

You know, super handsome, charming.

Uh, I was obsessed with him.

Sounds doomed.

I was young.

But it felt real,

until I walked in on him

f*cking my best friend.

My ex did the same thing.

What? Shut up.

- Yeah, seriously.

- Men are absolute shits.

Trust me, the best thing you can do

is let him see you thriving without him.

It is!

- Thriving?

- Well yeah.

We've got some work to do,

but you've got me, so it's okay.

Now, if only there was an amazing excuse

to get dressed up and show

off a little bit of arm candy.

- Arm candy?

- Michael.

- Right.

- Oh, what? Is he too hot?

Too clever? Too into you?

It's too soon.

Fine. We'll go as a throuple.

Love a bit of roleplay.

Now, I took it upon myself

to do a little bit of closet shopping,

and I have made my selection,

but I am open to feedback.

You're a good friend.

What do you think?

Very strappy. Sexy.

Hey.

You following me?

Just following the scent of despair.

What's that supposed to mean?

You've been miserable.

My girlfriend said she needed some space,

and then she swiftly filled

that space with another guy.

- Your girlfriend?

- Yeah.

We were keeping it quiet.

'Cause your dad didn't approve?

Was it that obvious?

I put some pieces together.

So, not only can I not escape her,

but she's bringing this arsehole

to the company party. Mm-hmm.

Poor Nick Leister.

So, you'll be the heartbroken loser

alone in the corner?

- Yes, I will.

- Mmm.

- Well, you are a loser.

- Mmm. Thank you.

I appreciate that.

But you won't be alone.

- Gala!

- Gala time!

Oh, my god, Michael, f*ck!

- Okay.

- Yes.

Gala.

Oh, my God. That is so funny.

Let you down easy, I'm trying

'Cause you're everything

I've spent my whole life fighting

So when I walk away

it's not your fault

I always let the good ones go

And baby, you couldn't have

loved me any better

You look great.

I f*cking better.

Right, cheer up, buttercup.

- Go on

- You can't be frowning

with that sexy little number

Right, avert your eyes. Let's get a drink.

Let's.

- Kind of nervous.

- Nervous?

Why are you nervous?

My date's kind of cute.

Welcome, everyone.

Thank you for joining us this evening

to celebrate the past 25 years

of Leister Enterprises

and all its achievements.

Hey, don't worry about them.

This is the fun table.

- Right, Briar? Yeah.

- Hell yeah. Always.

I've always hoped

for this to be a family business,

so Nicholas, I'm so proud

of the man you've become.

Aw.

And to Sophia,

our newest member

of the Leister Enterprises family.

I can see how you've brought out

the very best in my son.

You're welcome.

It's not easy, I know.

I see a bright and successful future

with the two of you at the helm.

To the dream team.

Come on, let's go dance.

Come on, darling, little bit of that,

little bit of that, little bit of that.

Michael!

May I have this dance?

You can indeed.

Boo, this sh*t is boring.

Come on, let's go.

All right. Let's

get out of here.

Excuse me, excuse me,

coming through, thank you.

You're good.

Who knew you were such a good dancer.

Well, guess where I learnt.

Finishing school.

Classic.

This is nice.

Nick.

Oh

You all right? Noah, you all right?

Noah. Noah.

- Noah. You have to let me explain.

- Leave me alone.

- Nick, leave me alone.

- Nick, back off!

- Briar, this has nothing to do with you.

- Oh, but it really does.

Briar, f*ck off.

- Noah.

- What does that mean?

Don't you think you've done enough damage?

- Briar, don't.

- Or

does it make you feel good?

Toying with girls' hearts

until they're a broken mess.

- What is she talking about?

- I have no idea.

Would you like to tell her, or shall I?

- Tell me what?

- Nothing, Noah.

You're not the first girl to have

their heart broken by Nick Leister.

- Noah

- You two?

Noah, I can explain.

It was years ago, it meant nothing.

Is this a joke?

I thought you were my friend.

And you

Noah.

I don't know who the f*ck you are.

I hope you're happy with Sophia,

with Briar, with whoever.

- Noah, it was ages ago, I was ashamed.

- Don't.

I didn't know how to tell you.

Come on, Noah.

Noah!

Do you even realise

how much she f*cking loves you?

If she loves me so much,

then why the hell are you here?

I'm here 'cause I'm a good friend.

Friend?

You're not together?

Holy sh*t.

Nick. Please, you're making a scene.

It's too late.

You've applied the pressure

Time for tea.

to have me crystalised

And you've got the faith

that I could bring paradise

I'll forgive and forget

before I'm paralysed

Thank you.

Do I have to keep up the pace

to keep you satisfied?

Things have gotten closer to the sun

and I've done things in small doses

So don't think

that I'm pushing you away

when you're the one

that I've kept closest

What is wrong with me?

Nothing.

There is literally nothing wrong with you.

- Hey, I'm being serious.

- And so am I.

I can't think of a single thing.

I've tried

to find something. Anything.

A sh*t sense of humour, a cruel streak.

Gross habits.

Any reason not to like you.

You're just saying that

to make me feel better.

Is it working?

A bit.

Hey. Hey.

You deserve to be happy.

And you just keep on getting closer

- Glaciers have melted to the sea

- Things have gotten closer to the sun

- I wish the tide would take me over

- and I've done things in small doses

So don't think

- I've been down onto my knees

- that I'm pushing you away

- and you just keep on

- when you're the one

- getting closer

- that I've kept closest

- Go slow

- Go slow

- Go slow

- Go slow

- Go slow

- Go slow

- Go slow

- Go slow

- Go slow

- Go slow

Hey.

I came straight here after the party.

Are you okay?

Noah, I I wanted to explain about Briar.

You and Briar.

Were you ever gonna tell me?

You let me get close to her,

Nick, this whole time.

- You could've told me.

- I know. I know.

And I'm sorry. But she's been playing us.

- She's been trying to push us apart.

- Briar is not why we broke up.

I know she's not,

but she's been manipulating us.

Okay? The only reason that I kissed Sophia

was because Briar told me

you were with Michael.

I don't know, I guess I wanted to hurt you

because I was hurting,

and now I

I'm just-just in f*cking agony.

But do you know what happened

when she kissed me, Noah?

Nothing. I felt nothing.

Because, Noah,

I'm incapable of loving anyone but you.

And I wanted to tell you all of that

but you weren't here.

Noah, where were you?

Whose jacket is that?

Noah, whose jacket is that?

Oh, Noah.

What have you done?

Nick.

I don't want any trouble.

Come on.

Do you wanna sit down?

No, I think I'm good.

What have you got that I haven't?

Let's not do this.

Come on, Nick.

Come on.

Go on.

Fine.

I'm thoughtful.

I'm emotionally available.

And I make her laugh.

And if she were mine,

I would tell every f*ck in the universe

instead of hiding her away

and making her feel unworthy.

It's all irrelevant, right?

Because I couldn't steal her,

Nick, even if I tried.

Because she is obsessed with you.

Don't f*cking laugh at me.

Hi, you've reached Nicholas--

Oh, come on. Come on.

No one else could've made her leave you.

You've done this to yourself.

You know that?

You pushed her away.

Don't touch me.

Don't touch me.

Nick, we can't leave it like that, please.

This is all a huge f*cking mess,

and it hurts.

Just don't do anything stupid,

and call me back.

You could've been happy.

Instead, you broke her heart.

f*ck, Nick. Please don't do anything.

Please.

Oh, sh*t.

Oh, my God.

Hey, are you okay?

Hey. Hey, I'm sorry.

Look, I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.

You have to understand.

I didn't know about you and Sophia, okay?

It meant nothing. Look at me. Look at me.

Nick, it didn't mean anything,

I promise you.

I'm sorry.

I have to go now, Noah.

Nick, what did you do?

Nick Leister?

You are under arrest on suspicion

of as*ault causing actual bodily harm.

You do not have to say anything,

but it may harm your defence
