- [CUSTOMER MUFFLED] Excuse me?
- Oh, God, no!

Do you work here? I have a complaint.

What seems to be the problem?

[CUSTOMER] I rented this costume
for my husband's birthday,

and now I can't get the bloody mask off.

Uh, sorry, did you say
your husband's birthday?

Yes.

Okay.

So, your husband likes strong women?

I think it's some sort of vacuum effect.

Have you tried greasing it up?

You could use butter. Or lube.

[CUSTOMER] Excuse me, but why
would I have lube in my house?

Oh, come on.

You've got lube.

[CUSTOMER] I want this mask off now.

And it goes without saying,
I expect a full refund.

Oh, I'm afraid we can only offer refunds

if the costume's been used
for its intended purpose.

[CUSTOMER] What are you implying?

You can't imply a customer

is pegging their husband
as Margaret Thatcher.

She is!

Of course she is, but
you can't say that.

[SIGHS]

Sometimes I wonder if you're
cut out for customer service.

You're absolutely right.

No, I think the best
thing to do is to let me go

with a generous redundancy package.

You are a manager. Great liar.

You hate people just the right amount.

I've never seen you miss a f*g break.

You could flourish here.

Take my place when I die.

That's a lovely thing to say,
Ange. But this is just temporary.

[ANGE] Tim said that
too when he started.

He's been here seven
years. He still loves it.

Are you f*cking mad? I'm not signing it.

Listen, this is a

Your music in the lift of
every cruise ship in the fleet.

They might even want your early
stuff for the hold lines on the phone.

[VALERIE GOLD] I sold out the
Bradford Ballroom five nights in a row.

I've f*cked % of the Rolling Stones.

A cruise ship? I think not.

It's time for a comeback.

Valerie, [CHUCKLES] you know
we love you at the label.

But only one person with your condition

has made a comeback, and that's Jesus.

I can still sing. I'm still relevant.

[SIGHS] f*ck it. I'll even do a duet.

What's Whitney Houston up to these days?

[LIGHT SWITCH CLICKS]

Get out. I'm literally about
to start auditioning people.

- Can I watch?
- Why?

I just wanna learn how to human again.

Fine. But don't do anything weird.
Or say anything. Or touch anyone.

It's very important to me.

And not just to me, okay?

I'm doing this for the
city. For the vulnerable.

Jen says you're doing it
because you're a feckless loser

who sponges off his girlfriends.

And, uh, this nostalgic
imitation of virility

gives you the illusion of control

over your emasculated,
directionless existence.

Although. I don't know
what most of that means,

is that right?

Yeah, that was very impressive
in there. Crystal clear.

How do you feel about some moonlighting?

We have another life-challenged
artist on our books

that I think you'd work well with.

Is it an estates dispute?
Because I'm quite junior.

I'm sure there's
nothing you can't handle.

You're very impressive, Carrie.

Yes. Yes.

I can handle it. I'll do it. [CHUCKLES]

Thanks so much for coming in.

Oh, no problem.

Sometimes I feel a bit like a
photocopier they wheeled out. [CHUCKLES]

So it's nice to get asked
to do actual legal stuff.

'Cause I can do that, but
they never really ask me to.

- Oh, is this a recording studio?
- Smart as a button.

We have an artist who d*ed before
he could finish his last album.

Tragic, really. His fans
are still super passionate.

And we already paid
him the advance. Uh-oh!

So, if he could sing through you,

then we could finish the tracks

and bada-bing-bada platinum sales
in , territories worldwide.

Is that cool?

Uh.

[MICROPHONE FEEDBACK]

- [TAPPING DRUMSTICKS]
- Three, two, one.

- They want you to channel who now?
- [CARRIE] Colt Callaghan.

He was some big country music
singer in the ' s, apparently.

I thought you were there
for some legal bullshit?

[CARRIE] Me too, but they
just want me for my power.


Why doesn't anybody care
what Carrie has to offer?

Probably because Carrie
talks about herself

in the third person a bit too much.

Can you come down? For moral support?

I'm at work. I can't just bail.

I'm saving up for the
clinic. I need the money.

You can have a cut. They're paying me.

How much are they paying you?

I don't know. It's a bit
rude to ask, isn't it?

Please come. I really
need a friend right now.


No, you don't need a friend.

You need someone who can get you
a decent deal. A real hard-ass.

You need...

Jen Regan, Jen Regan Talent Management.

This is handwritten.

We're a-a boutique agency
with a personal touch.

Now, this national treasure

is not opening her money
hole until we talk shop.

Here is her rider.

"Sushi platter. Room
temperature ice water."

We can deal with this later.

What I need to do right
now, yeah, is talk to Colt.

He's gonna be pretty confused.

Uh, money first.

- We can offer you .
- [JEN] Oh, please.

Ms Jackson doesn't put on
a bra on a Saturday for .

- Five hundred. Final offer.
- .

I think my client would
be content with £ .

- Yeah.
- Yeah.

£ , .

May I just have a moment
alone with my client?

[PANTS] Did he say £ , ?

I could buy a flat.
I could go on holiday.

I could buy the Tenderstem broccoli.

Tenderstem, Jen. It
is so much more tender.

[PANTS] You could pay for the clinic.

They're not our friends.
They're my vigilante group.

What are you hiding?

You said that you needed snacks, so...

[SHRIEKS]

- [DOORBELL BUZZES]
- So, where should I sit?

Uh, actually, um, I-I need you to
do something very important for me.

Okay.

Okay, um, I need you to

get these for me.

Okay, okay. Yeah, I can do that.

I can do that. I'll get you your...

... "tampons."

- Great.
- [DOORBELL BUZZES]

- Where... Where would I get a tampon?
- Chemist.

Chemist. Yeah.

[DOORBELL BUZZES]

Um, Jen says it's too soon
for me to be out in the world.

Well, Jen's not here. Okay?

- Okay, I won't let you down.
- Yeah.

[DOORBELL BUZZES]

[DOORBELL BUZZES]

The miniature horse is unavailable.

Unacceptable.

Either you get us a big horse

that we can look at through the
wrong end of a telescope, or we walk.

Yeah, totally. I'll sort
all that after she gets Colt.

Heads up, by the way, Colt
could be a little difficult.

What kind of difficult?

[COLT] Where am I? Did I black out?

How old are you? Ah,
wait. I don't wanna know.

You told me you were , and
that's the line we're gonna go with.

[MANAGER] Colt, mate, don't
panic, but you're dead.

[COLT GROANS]

My f*cking wife.

She finally did it. She
always said she would.

Gotta respect that.

No one k*lled you, mate. We brought
you back to finish your album.

[COLT] Sugar tits, you look
a bit like Margaret Thatcher.

I like that.

Thank you. Your tits
look pretty good too.

[COLT] Wha...

Holy sh*t!

Maybe being in a woman's body
will give you a bit more respect.

[COLT] Nice! I can work with these.

Now, what are these, a C cup?

You've been gone a while. Is there
anything you wanna get caught up on?

[COLT] There's only three
things I need to know.

Is beer still cold? Are g*ns still
cool? And is Jesus still white?

- Oh, yeah. Come on, now.
- 'Kay, stop that. Don't be touching them.

- Get off them. Get off.
- [COLT GRUNTS, GROANS]

- [COLT] All right!
- [JEN] Dirty bastard.

[COLT SIGHS]

[KASH] Congratulations, men.

You've all been selected
because you demonstrated to me

that you are hero material.

You've passed the first test.

Will there be more tests? I'm
dyslexic, and I need more time.

It's more a series of trials than tests.

It's, like, informal trials
of the spirit and body.

It's more of a metaphor.

Really, I probably shouldn't
have used the word "test."

Uh, any... Words aside... Um.

We're all here for one noble
purpose: fighting crime.

What does that mean, specifically?

Uh, like, going after
crime. Stopping it and stuff.

- There's lots of different types of crime.
- I know. I don't think we need...

I suggest targeting child sex offenders.

Go after the real bad guys.
Anyone else got a suggestion?

- Fly-tippers? No! Murderers!
- Yes.

What about the elderly?

- Yeah, f*ck 'em.
- No. No.

I mean, like, people who scam
the elderly. Like telemarketers.

[SEB] Or the drug dealers,

uh, people who put
their bag next to them

on the empty seat in the train,

rapists?

I swear I had another
marker here somewhere. Sorry.

I can get you one. Give me two minutes.

[MUSIC STOPS]

[GREGOR] Okay, so we're down
to nonces versus children.

Uh, surely that's a tautology?

Uh, wouldn't we be protecting
the children from the nonces?

They cancel each other out.

It should be children versus women.

If we help women, like,

protecting them walking
home at night or something,

I think they'd be really grateful.

Not that we'd ask them
for anything in return.

But if they did want to thank
us, just a perk of the job.

Yeah, we're talking about
them f*cking us, right?

- No.
- What? No!

[KASH] No one sleeps
with anyone they save.

I'm drawing this ethical
line in the sand now.

What if someone wants to give us money?

Well, that's just tipping. That's fine.

I'd like to put myself forward
as task force leader for this one.

I know women. I respect
women. I love women.

- Well, I love women more than you do.
- I have four sisters.

I have a mum.

- I've got two mums.
- I've got a girlfriend. Do you?

- I don't currently have...
- Ha! Three-two.

But that also means

that I don't view women
solely as sexual objects.

Neither do I. I barely
f*ck my girlfriend.

I read Jane Austen novels for fun.

I know where the clitoris is.

[GASPS]

Prove it.

[HYPERVENTILATES]

Have some water, pet.

[PANTS]

It's just... a lot.

You buying the tampons
for your girlfriend?

No, he's a boyfriend.

Oh. You kids and your genders. Love it.

I've been away for a while.

There's too much everything.

I'm sorry. I'm useless.

Oh, chicken, no. We all
learn at our own pace.

I can help you get what you need.

What's their period like?
Heavy? A lot of clotting?

Do they like an applicator or non?

What's a period?

Oh, Lord. [SIGHS] Okay. [CHUCKLES]

I can see we're gonna have
to start from the beginning.

[COLT] Come on, chica. Is
this strictly necessary?

When you stop trying to unhook your bra,

then the shame mitts can come off.

- [COLT] Honey pie! Sorry. Sorry.
- Stop that!

[COLT GRUNTS]

Darlin', can you turn these for me?

I ain't looked at
these songs in years.

Need a refresher on the old lyrics.

[CARRIE] Jen, have
you read these lyrics?

I'm not a prude, but they're not exactly

very respectful to women or Canadians.

I'm sure they're not
that ba... Okay. Oh, no.

I don't think I can do this.

What? Of course you
can. No, you can do this.

Do this, please.

I don't think I feel
comfortable saying this stuff.

But it's not really you
saying it, though. Is it?

It's coming out of my mouth. My mouth
is making the shape of the words.

I don't wanna have a sexist mouth.

What if I ever meet
Malala? I'll be mortified.

Look, Carrie, babe.

Look, you know I would never ask you

to do something you're
uncomfortable with.

Unless someone's going to pay
us £ , to do it, okay?

So, maybe just do it?

Oh, if I could just make some
adjustments to the source material.

He barely remembers what he wrote.

He'll sing whatever
you put in front of him.

Yes. Okay, compromise. It's
the beauty of negotiation.

Oh, where are you going?

I'm not passing that up.

- That's what I said.

No, you said "clid" with a "D."

- He's stalling. I think we should...
- I can do it.

[DOOR OPENS] Kash! I did
it. I got, uh, your...

- What's going on?
- We're locating the clitoris.

Oh, it's right there at the
top underneath the clitoral hood

at the crest of the labia minora.

... Ora. Exactly.

Guys, come on. It's basic knowledge.

- That doesn't mean you win.
- Kash, I have your tampons.
