They only had one request - re-shoot the love scene. Welcome to the set.

Set.

Action.

I got really drunk last night.

- Yeah, you did.

- Yeah.

How's your head?

Same.

I saved you, you know.

PR guys?

All over you.

And, cut.

That's a cut.

That's amazing.

We moved on?

Yeah, moving on.

We are moving on. Thank god.

Alright, so Mal and Zoe,

you guys can take 15.

We're gonna reset

and move in for coverage.

- Well done!

- It was beautiful!

- I know.

- Fantastic!

Nice job guys, nice job ladies.

Yeah, that was the first

successful shot...

Hey, shh, shh! Golly!

Fantastic job, well done ladies!

So just try to relax

for a few minutes, okay?

Okay, I have

a confession to make.

Okay.

Remember that song

from last summer?

That we were like,

obsessed with?

That song was stuck in my head like

the entire time we were doing that.

It's like you know, when you get

a song stuck in your head

and it's like argh!

When Frank and Jess came over?

Yeah! So good.

Stupid.

So good.

I almost lost it a few times.

- I'll find it.

- You have it?

Yeah.

That was it, that was the one!

So pick it up, pick it up

Sorry.

Do you need a minute?

Zoe,

Look. I'm sorry.

- Hon, look at me.

- I don't know.

Don't do that, please.

Is that why you...

Oh!

Zoe, I wanna have this conversation,

I really do, but does it...

You know, actually?

I came here today

excited to see you,

nervous to see you,

and you know what?

Now that I'm with you,

right now,

and you're having

moments of fun with me,

I'm actually standing

right here, outside of myself,

protecting myself and finding

myself being really angry.

And I have no idea

why you walked out

and gave me no explanation.

So you know, I really want you

to start talking right now.

And give me the explanation

that I deserve.

Zoe...

As a good f***ing person.

Who loves you.

You really wanna do this here?

Yeah, I do.

Because I deserve that.

Okay!

Okay.

You're right.

Fresh out of rehab,

I was vulnerable

and...

I wasn't vulnerable, just

because I didn't go to rehab?

Just listen, you want an

explanation, are you gonna listen?

You knew going into this

who you were going into it with.

You knew you were going

into it with an addict.

That's who I am, okay?

It's taken me a long time

to come to terms with that,

but that's who I am.

So it's my fault?

- No, listen.

- It's my fault.

You want me to talk,

or you want me to stop talking?

Part of the recovery process is really

learning to know oneself, and...

Honestly, I respect you and Stephanie

and whatever your thing is,

but like when you push me out

and make me the bad guy,

how am I really

supposed to react?

- Okay...

- This is so unfair!

- That is so selfish!

- Yeah?

- Yeah, it is, it's f***ing selfish!

- You wanna talk about selfish?

You were pulling away.

I saw it.

I saw it.

I was watching it happening.

- You were...

- I was pulling away?

- Yeah, you were pulling away.

- Give me an example right now!

Tell me right now!

Tell me right now!

Okay. You were backing out

of the relationship

Last party we went to together...

Are you talking

about the premiere?

When you left me?

You let that producer

just pull you away.

I understand,

now listen, I understand!

You're comparing

a physical thing...

You let it happen!

You just walked away.

And you know what? It's just an

analogy of our f***ing rela...

It's always about you!

You're so, so selfish.

Yeah?

You're the most selfish person

I've ever met.

Did you see that?

- I did see it.

- Did you? Aah!

- The chemistry...

- Alright now, calm down.

Watch out for these cords.

I don't know why

they're still here!

Gonna get the love scene...

You just don't f***in' listen!

- You did that to me!

- No.

Yes! You're the one

that pulled away from me,

And I'm so sick of...

You know what,

I tried to f***ing...

What is going on here?

What is wrong with you two?

Honestly, this really

has nothing to do with you guys.

Can you please, I'm sorry Anne,

but like Kara and Anne,

please f*** off right now!

Can you just go?

Please go.

No, you know what,

I can't just go, Mal.

I really can't just go.

Is this love,

or is this not love?

Do you love her? Are you in

love, or are you not in love?

Kara, can we please

not do this right now?

This is really inappropriate.

Are you in love with Mal? Zoe.

Not right now.

Are you in love with Mal?

Mal, are you in love with Zoe?

I just need to know.

This is none

of your f***ing business.

No! Is this love,

or is this not love?

This is a conversation

between myself and Zoe,

Go home!

We're gonna pack your stuff.

The day is done.

You packed your stuff.

We are done!

What about the broadcast deal?

We all need to come

together here!

You know what?

There is no broadcast deal.

I made it up, I made it up so that you

two could magically get back together

and I could actually feel that

true love really does exist!

Because I wanted true love to

actually f***ing win out just once!

Aaargh!

You know what, Kara?

You really need to go now.

Now you really need to go.

You really need to go.

- Do I really need to go?

- You really need to go!

Get out, get out!

Grow up!

Aaah!

Kieran, we're wrapped.

We're going home.

For the day. Just wrap it.

Wrap wrap wrap, done done done.

Everybody goes home.

Sorry guys!

Everybody's going home.

Alright guys, I guess

that's a wrap for tonight.

Just make it safe, alright?

And we'll finish in the morning.

You want the truth, Zoe?

You want the f***ing truth?

I got scared that you

were just gonna leave me!

You had one foot out the door,

and I got f***ing scared!

And you know

what that feels like?

To be left? Yeah, you do

actually, because you know what?

In reality Mal,

you turned into your mother,

and I turned into you, so yeah,

I actually know how you feel!

Because you turned

into your mom and you left me,

so you know what?

Congratulations.

You've turned into the person

that you hate the most.

F*** - you!

Yeah, f*** you!

F*** you!

Worst decision of my life!

I am so deeply,

deeply disappointed.

Why didn't you

tell me the truth?

I've been your partner

in this for 15 years.

I think you should have enough love

for me to tell me what's going on!

Mal, I didn't mean to say the

stuff about your mom, I'm sorry!

I promised I would never do that!

I'm sorry Mal!

You said it, you said it!

Mal, I'm sorry! I didn't mean

to say that about your mom!

I really didn't,

I'm sorry I said something

I didn't even mean.

Zoe! You need to leave.

Just go away!

Mal, can you please come out of

the bathroom and talk to me, Mal?

No!

No, no no, no, you know what?

You know what?

Zoe? This is f***ing over.

It's over, okay!

It's too far...

That's it?

That's it, really?

Really?

Mal, please come out

of the bathroom and talk to me!

You're my family, Mal!

You're all I care about!

Please don't do this to me!

And please don't

do this to yourself!

Please!

I really love you.

And I'm sorry, I'm sorry!

I didn't mean
