If you had to choose three words
to express your grief,
what would they be?
Confusion
Anger
Disbelief not disbelief.
Astonishment.
So, anger, confusion
Fury.
Fury.
Turmoil. Stupefaction.
Trauma. Anger.
And total fucking astonishment.
And, Amandine?
I don't have three words
because there is none.
There are no words.
Exactly.
There's there's no words.
Absolutely none.
"I want to cum on your face."
"2". Like the number two.
Like he's in such a hurry.
So that's Paul. What about this other guy?
Dave.
What kind of stupid name is that?
Dave Burrow. He's the Head of Accounts
for an events company.
As part of his rehab
after a skiing accident,
Dave enrolled in "Caramelo's All Star
Salsa Fridays in Tufnell Park”.
- That's where they met.
- I remember that.
I remember Amandine told Lue
she'd taken up Salsa.
Dave's engaged to Wendy
which means Dave is keen to enter
a Gentleman's Agreement.
Namely, I won't tell Wendy
that he's been fucking my wife
and he in turn will stop
fucking said wife.
And then, leave London, get a new job,
where him and Wendy will be free
to live happily ever after.
So that's Dave.
What about this Paul clown?
No idea.
You've no idea who he is?
None.
So, what are you gonna do?
Are you gonna confront Amandine?
Not yet.
Not until I know everything.
I've got to know more, and then
I'm gonna do something, I tell ya.

There's something else I need you to do.
What's that?
That's her phone.
- What?

that I can't access.
Folders that I can't open.

Hey, hey, of course we are, all right?
Look at me. Of course we are.
Of course we are.
Will Mum be all right?
I can't find my phone.

If I've done breakfast for the kids,
I could just go round after,
with the crumbs,

Just clean up after them.

For dog hair.

Er, honestly, absolutely crapping myself!
I am, really.
What would it mean to you
to get a Michelin star?
Oh, look. I'm a cook.
You know? I love to cook.
I loved it before I ever knew
there was such a thing as stars and
it's a chance for me,
an opportunity to take
everything I've learned
up to this point
and and just say this is it, you know?
This is this is who I am.
This is me.

Er, Vogue, Vani Fair

all confirmed for opening night.
Thank you.
So, that's Paul?
No.
That's Jason.
Jason Burke. Commercials director.
They met at a marketing conference
in Edinburgh.
They were staying in the same hotel.
So not Paul.
Or Dave.
Jason.
Is his number in there?
- Yes.
- Call him.
- I can't.
- Call him now. Yes, you can.
- Jamie.
- Yes, you can.
- I can't call him!
- Yes, you fucking can. Why not?!
He was on the A305 near Stonehenge.
Taking a selfie
with the henge in the background,
when he hit an Ocado van
coming the other way.
He was in the Wiltshire Gazette
and Herald.
Good.
I hope he broke every bone in his body.
No, I don't.
I hope I hope he got decapitated
and his head came off
and it took them weeks to find it.
I hope they didn't find it.
I hope it's still out there rotting
with a family of rats and
Take that back to Devon and rip it apart.
I need to know everything,
I need to know if it's five,
seven, twelve, all right?
I've gotta know everything, all right?
Jamie, you
You forgot your clog.
You're all right, mate.
Jamie?
Even as a lowly seamstress,
Coco's needlework singled her out.
The split stitch, stem stitch,
satin stitch, the French hem.
Coco swiftly mastered them all.
It was this attention to detail
to every seam, hem, darn, or embroidery
that'd set her on the path to greatness,
to genius,
not just of her age, but for all time.
Ah!
Congratulations.
- Well done!
- Really fantastic, loved it.
- Love it.
- Shall we, er, grab a drink?
- We'd love to!
- We'd love to
but we've got the babysitter, so
Er, well why don't you go back,
I'll get a drink with Danny,
meet you at home?
Laters, J-Dog!
It's beautiful.
- Oh, thank you.
- That was crazy!
I don't even understand
how you play like that!
- How was it?
- Yeah.
It was amazing.
Lue?
