Park Bench

All 4 episodes out

Gabrielle Marchand runs background checks for the government, so she usually knows everything about a man before he says hello. The stonemason on her lunch bench in Ottawa is the exception, and she wants to keep it that way: no names, no looking each other up, nothing but the hour they share at noon. By Thursday they have promised to tell each other who they are, and his security file is already sitting on her desk.

  1. 1. Someone on the Bench

    A stonemason is sitting on Gabrielle's bench at noon, and before one o'clock they have made a deal: no names, no looking each other up, nothing but the bench.

  2. 2. Rain at Noon

    It rains all Tuesday, the bench is soaked, and lunch moves under the church porch, where the first true things get said and they kiss for the first time.

  3. 3. Up the Tower

    They break one rule and meet after work at the top of the bell tower, and promise each other their names at Thursday lunch. At ten past nine on Thursday, his file is on her desk.

  4. 4. The Fourth Day

    On the fourth day the names come out, and so does everything the file left out, if either of them can say it out loud on the bench.
