0:00:36 > 0:00:38Jessie, are you awake?

0:00:40 > 0:00:43- I am now. - You were moaning again.

0:00:43 > 0:00:46Just a bit achy, that's all.

0:00:49 > 0:00:53Achy's not right, Jess. And yesterday you said your vision was blurry.

0:00:53 > 0:00:55I'm fine.

0:00:55 > 0:00:58You've been like this for well over a week now. KNOCK ON DOOR

0:00:58 > 0:01:01Wake up, sleepy heads. We're off on a raid. Fifteen minutes.

0:01:01 > 0:01:05- Coming!- Come on, Jess, you know you can't go out in this state.

0:01:05 > 0:01:07India likes everyone to go.

0:01:07 > 0:01:11I know what India likes. But you're obviously not up to it. Jess.

0:01:11 > 0:01:16- We're a group. I don't want special treatment. - It's not special treatment!

0:01:16 > 0:01:21You're pregnant and you're feeling under the weather. India won't mind. I'll explain.

0:01:22 > 0:01:23Maybe just this once.

0:01:23 > 0:01:25Shhh.

0:01:40 > 0:01:43"Dear Mrs Tembe, I wanted to introduce myself

0:01:43 > 0:01:47"and to thank you for your kindness and generosity in offering to host me

0:01:47 > 0:01:51"for the duration of my theology studies at Letherbridge University."

0:01:54 > 0:01:56Just seeing a doctor's OK.

0:01:56 > 0:01:58We've been through all this! India says...

0:01:58 > 0:02:00I know. Look... just get a diagnosis.

0:02:00 > 0:02:04Then whatever it is, we'll treat it here. Please.

0:02:04 > 0:02:06For me.

0:02:06 > 0:02:09For the baby.

0:02:37 > 0:02:40"I am very excited about my studies at the University

0:02:40 > 0:02:43"with your Reverend Stanhope, and already looking forward

0:02:43 > 0:02:46"to bringing what I learn back to Nigeria.

0:02:46 > 0:02:48"I share my family's hopes and prayers that one day,

0:02:48 > 0:02:52"with God's help, I will become a minister myself.

0:02:53 > 0:02:58"Looking forward to meeting you. Yours sincerely, Akono Mezu."

0:02:58 > 0:03:00- MRS TEMBE SQUEALS - Watch it.

0:03:02 > 0:03:04Excuse us.

0:03:08 > 0:03:10Here we go! Monk, keep a look out.

0:03:10 > 0:03:14Debbie, Zip, Mark, you try the bins behind the baker's.

0:03:15 > 0:03:17- Looks all clear.- Let me.

0:03:25 > 0:03:27Look at all this stuff.

0:03:29 > 0:03:32- Not even past its "sell by" date! - Shameful.

0:03:33 > 0:03:35These chocolates and all.

0:03:35 > 0:03:38Seeing as though Jessie's not feeling great, do you mind if I give them to her?

0:03:38 > 0:03:43- Cheer her up.- Don't you think you should ask the group? - I don't think the group would mind.

0:03:43 > 0:03:45Whatever you think's right.

0:03:45 > 0:03:47Right.

0:03:49 > 0:03:52I think it's marvellous what you're doing. Very charitable.

0:03:52 > 0:03:56Thank you, Doctor Carter. I hope I do not disappoint him.

0:03:56 > 0:03:58Why on earth would you disappoint him?

0:03:59 > 0:04:02I am worried he will find me... wanting.

0:04:04 > 0:04:06Recently I have not been as regular as I should.

0:04:06 > 0:04:10- Well, I can give you something... - Er, no...at church.

0:04:10 > 0:04:11Oh, I see.

0:04:11 > 0:04:14Erm, I'm sure it will be fine, Mrs Tembe.

0:04:14 > 0:04:15Oh, well, I hope so.

0:04:15 > 0:04:19Look, I have to dash. I can't talk. Why don't you have a word with Marina about it?

0:04:19 > 0:04:23- I really wouldn't be able... - Thank you, but I would not want to impose...

0:04:23 > 0:04:24Excuse me.

0:04:26 > 0:04:28What are you doing?! Me? Spiritual advisor?!

0:04:28 > 0:04:31Why not? Give it a try.

0:04:31 > 0:04:36Maybe not spiritual advice. Just be yourself. Sensible, calm and helpful.

0:04:36 > 0:04:38Yeah, but...

0:04:38 > 0:04:40- Please.- I don't know...

0:04:40 > 0:04:41Thank you.

0:04:44 > 0:04:46..No, it's on the passenger side door.

0:04:46 > 0:04:50Er, Doctor Tyler could see you, Miss Preece.

0:04:50 > 0:04:54- Oh, hold on a second... Isn't Doctor Carter free? - Doctor Carter is on his way out.

0:04:54 > 0:04:59I've checked, you are available. Please just follow Doctor Tyler.

0:04:59 > 0:05:01Sorry. I'll have to call you back later.

0:05:10 > 0:05:12I won't take up much of your time.

0:05:12 > 0:05:14Sorry?

0:05:14 > 0:05:18It's just... you look a little stressed, if you don't mind me saying so.

0:05:18 > 0:05:20Well, if you must know, some little...

0:05:22 > 0:05:24..keyed my car this morning.

0:05:24 > 0:05:26Ah.

0:05:26 > 0:05:28- You should get a bike. - You what?

0:05:28 > 0:05:32No-one keys a bike. Plus it's healthy...

0:05:32 > 0:05:35you save money...save the planet...

0:05:35 > 0:05:38Mm... So, er, what exactly can I do for you, Miss Preece?

0:05:38 > 0:05:43I'm five months pregnant, not feeling very well.

0:05:43 > 0:05:46- But I don't want drugs or anything, just a diagnosis.- You've got something against drugs?

0:05:46 > 0:05:49And drug companies, yeah. India disapproves.

0:05:49 > 0:05:52- The country?- No!

0:05:52 > 0:05:57No, she's like our... um, guide. We're Freegans.

0:05:58 > 0:06:01Karen, we've run out of sterile bandages.

0:06:01 > 0:06:05- Could you get Freya to go over to the Campus to pick some up? - Yeah, sure.

0:06:05 > 0:06:08No, if Freya goes over there, Elaine's going to be on her own.

0:06:11 > 0:06:12Julia?

0:06:15 > 0:06:16Erm...

0:06:18 > 0:06:23- Nice chatting with you. What can I do for you? - I've got a 9.30 appointment.

0:06:26 > 0:06:28BABY'S HEARTBEAT CAN BE HEARD

0:06:28 > 0:06:33- So you actually eat rubbish?! - You only think it's rubbish because supermarkets tell you it's rubbish.

0:06:33 > 0:06:37"Sell by" dates are a complete fabrication.

0:06:37 > 0:06:41As Freegans we're just trying, in our own way, not to add to the waste -

0:06:41 > 0:06:45to use as few of the earth's resources as possible.

0:06:45 > 0:06:46Right.

0:06:47 > 0:06:49What's wrong with that?

0:06:49 > 0:06:51At least we're trying to make a difference.

0:06:51 > 0:06:56- And it's not like we're hurting anyone.- OK, but...

0:06:56 > 0:06:59if you Freegans reject money, and the mainstream economy,

0:06:59 > 0:07:02and the NHS, and drugs companies are the devil...

0:07:02 > 0:07:05then what exactly are you doing here?

0:07:05 > 0:07:07I didn't say that we all do that.

0:07:07 > 0:07:09You can't just lump us all together under one group!

0:07:09 > 0:07:12Our group uses the Freegan principle

0:07:12 > 0:07:15but we've created our own unique lifestyle.

0:07:15 > 0:07:18We're pushing the idea up to the next level.

0:07:18 > 0:07:20Look, can you just tell me if I'm OK?

0:07:20 > 0:07:25- So?- From what you've told me, I think it's probably flu.

0:07:25 > 0:07:30But there are a few other things I need to check for. Diabetes, toxoplasmosis...

0:07:30 > 0:07:31But you think it's most likely flu.

0:07:31 > 0:07:35Yeah, but we can rule everything out with a few simple blood tests.

0:07:35 > 0:07:36No, thanks.

0:07:36 > 0:07:40- One of the group is a practitioner of wild medicine. - Why am I not surprised?

0:07:40 > 0:07:43Well, there's no actual cure for flu, is there?

0:07:43 > 0:07:47So I might as well have a mug of lemon and ginger tea

0:07:47 > 0:07:49as some commercial remedy that won't work,

0:07:49 > 0:07:51whose manufacture damages the environment,

0:07:51 > 0:07:58and where the profit just goes to some faceless, unethical, multi-national corporation.

0:07:58 > 0:08:02I can see why it would be hard for you to agree.

0:08:02 > 0:08:05It'd be like turkeys voting for Christmas.

0:08:05 > 0:08:10And I suppose they'd be genetically modified turkeys, if you had your way.

0:08:10 > 0:08:12Thank you, Doctor Tyler.

0:08:14 > 0:08:16DOOR SLAMS

0:08:16 > 0:08:18Thank you.

0:08:20 > 0:08:26Mrs Tembe, I hope I wasn't too forward suggesting that you and Marina...

0:08:26 > 0:08:29- The thing is, Doctor Carter... - It's just I think she'll be very insightful.

0:08:29 > 0:08:31You know, woman to woman.

0:08:31 > 0:08:33Erm...exactly!

0:08:33 > 0:08:36Perhaps I should speak to Mrs Parsons, or even Dr Cassidy.

0:08:36 > 0:08:41Well, could you give Marina a try? Please. For my sake?

0:08:43 > 0:08:45- I will try. - Thank you.

0:08:47 > 0:08:49Spongers!

0:08:49 > 0:08:54- Anyone in particular? - That silly hippy. Oh, thanks for that, Mrs T.

0:08:56 > 0:08:59I knew she was having problems, but...

0:08:59 > 0:09:01And the girl was in a school uniform?

0:09:01 > 0:09:03Yeah. And wearing little glasses.

0:09:03 > 0:09:05Like Chloe.

0:09:05 > 0:09:08Mmm... I mean... I just thought she was in a daze.

0:09:08 > 0:09:11I didn't realise she hadn't seen her for a month. Poor Julia.

0:09:11 > 0:09:12We should see if she wants to talk.

0:09:12 > 0:09:17Or...we could distract her.

0:09:17 > 0:09:19- How?- With the bucket list!

0:09:19 > 0:09:20Really?

0:09:20 > 0:09:22Why not? It works.

0:09:22 > 0:09:25Remember I said that I would like to try writing,

0:09:25 > 0:09:29and you said "You should"? I did. I joined a writing course. Watch out, Jackie Collins!

0:09:31 > 0:09:34Oh, Dr Granger. I wonder if you could help me.

0:09:35 > 0:09:37What does a young man need?

0:09:37 > 0:09:40Is this a joke?

0:09:40 > 0:09:41It is for my house guest.

0:09:41 > 0:09:44I'm trying to make a list of things to buy for his room.

0:09:44 > 0:09:48Er, well, I don't know. Maybe a TV? A little fridge?

0:09:48 > 0:09:52What? I cannot afford anything like that.

0:09:52 > 0:09:54OK, how about, er, a kettle?

0:09:54 > 0:09:56Oh, now, that is a good idea.

0:09:56 > 0:10:02And, er, his own mug. Don't give him some sort of airy-fairy fancy-nancy mug thing.

0:10:02 > 0:10:03Kevin, what do guys need in their rooms?

0:10:03 > 0:10:05Privacy. And a punch bag.

0:10:07 > 0:10:11Miss Broad, my 11.30. Please come through.

0:10:11 > 0:10:14- Music! What kind of music does he like?- I...I do not know.

0:10:19 > 0:10:22Oh, kettle, mug, clock. Sounds like the Generation Game.

0:10:22 > 0:10:26All you need is a cuddly toy and a decanter.

0:10:26 > 0:10:28I am trying to make a shopping list.

0:10:28 > 0:10:32- Oh, yes, is that for your Mr... - Mr Mezu.- Yeah, yeah, yeah.

0:10:35 > 0:10:40Look, what Heston said earlier... if you need to talk or...

0:10:40 > 0:10:43Thank you, but that will not be necessary.

0:10:43 > 0:10:46I am trying to work this out for myself.

0:10:46 > 0:10:49I am going to ask Mrs Parsons if I can take the afternoon off

0:10:49 > 0:10:55- to buy some things, and clean the house. - Right, then. OK.

0:11:00 > 0:11:05Jessie, angel, you missed a good one. Look at all the stuff we got.

0:11:05 > 0:11:07Jess, you look terrible.

0:11:07 > 0:11:09I'll be OK.

0:11:09 > 0:11:11Well, what did the doctor say?

0:11:11 > 0:11:16- You went to a doctor? - Oh, just to hear what he'd say.

0:11:16 > 0:11:17And?

0:11:17 > 0:11:20Ah... Bit of flu, he reckoned.

0:11:20 > 0:11:23Once I'd got past the superior attitude and bad temper

0:11:23 > 0:11:26and prejudice. I should never have let you

0:11:26 > 0:11:29- talk me into it. - Did he give you anything?

0:11:29 > 0:11:33- If he had, I'm sure she wouldn't have taken it. - I told him that's not what I wanted.

0:11:33 > 0:11:34Good girl.

0:11:34 > 0:11:37Why don't you go up to bed, eh? Get some rest.

0:11:37 > 0:11:40- What are these for? - India said it was OK.

0:11:40 > 0:11:42I said you should do what you think's right.

0:11:42 > 0:11:44Jess! Come on, let me help you.

0:11:44 > 0:11:47No, you stay and help put away.

0:11:54 > 0:11:57She's not well. Something isn't right.

0:11:57 > 0:12:00Barney, I know you're concerned about the baby.

0:12:00 > 0:12:04Of course you are, we all are. It'll be the newest addition to our family

0:12:04 > 0:12:09but don't forget that Jess is vulnerable right now and she needs our support.

0:12:09 > 0:12:10Don't tell me what she needs!

0:12:10 > 0:12:14All I'm saying is I think you should respect her beliefs...

0:12:14 > 0:12:17even if you don't hold them yourself.

0:12:17 > 0:12:20Her beliefs, or your beliefs?!

0:12:20 > 0:12:23Not seeing doctors, this whole commune thing...

0:12:23 > 0:12:28- this isn't what Freeganism's about. - I'm glad we had this talk.

0:12:34 > 0:12:35Oh sorry, I just...

0:12:35 > 0:12:38I was just...well, waking myself up.

0:12:38 > 0:12:41Right.

0:12:41 > 0:12:44Mrs Parsons says it is fine for me to take the afternoon off.

0:12:44 > 0:12:48- Just to buy some things for the house.- That's fantastic, great.

0:12:48 > 0:12:53- Erm, what are you going to buy? - Um...I do not know.

0:12:53 > 0:12:55- I have made a list, but...- What?

0:12:55 > 0:12:59- This will probably sound silly to you...- No!

0:12:59 > 0:13:03There is nowhere suitable in my house for prayer.

0:13:03 > 0:13:06Er...isn't the thing about prayer that you can do it anywhere?

0:13:06 > 0:13:12- Yes, but I thought it would be nice to have somewhere special.- Oh.

0:13:12 > 0:13:17And then I wondered why I do not already have somewhere in my house to pray.

0:13:17 > 0:13:22Have I become negligent with my faith? Am I spiritually inadequate?

0:13:22 > 0:13:25- Mrs Tembe... - No, it...it is true.

0:13:25 > 0:13:30I am not always patient with people who anger me and I do not make

0:13:30 > 0:13:34enough of an effort to... to share the word of the Lord.

0:13:34 > 0:13:38I am beginning to wonder if I am the right person to host this devout man.

0:13:38 > 0:13:40Hold on a minute, Mrs Tembe.

0:13:40 > 0:13:42You're the most spiritual person I know.

0:13:42 > 0:13:45In fact, you're probably the most spiritual person anyone knows

0:13:45 > 0:13:50- and you're going to be a great host for this Mr... What's...?- Mezu.

0:13:50 > 0:13:54Mezu. Mr Mezu. You know, if he's going to judge you for the fact you haven't got

0:13:54 > 0:13:56anywhere special to pray, then really it's, er...

0:14:01 > 0:14:04Thank you, Miss Bonnaire, you... you have been very helpful.

0:14:07 > 0:14:14OK, so far we've got gliding, circus school-slash-learning to trapeze, tank driving...

0:14:14 > 0:14:17Zorbing.

0:14:17 > 0:14:20OK...zorbing.

0:14:20 > 0:14:23I thought you meant that other one we talked about before...

0:14:23 > 0:14:26Zarimba? Whatever you call it.

0:14:26 > 0:14:27Zumba!

0:14:27 > 0:14:31You see, I thought I saw it. It's a class for beginners this afternoon.

0:14:31 > 0:14:33Isn't that just aerobics?

0:14:33 > 0:14:37No! It's like salsa, I think. You know, like on Strictly.

0:14:37 > 0:14:40- Hey, I could nip out and get us some outfits.- Outfits?

0:14:40 > 0:14:44- Yeah, everybody gets dressed up. It's like a party. - But it's at three o'clock!

0:14:44 > 0:14:51Yeah, so while I'm out, you could persuade Julia to leave work and come with us.

0:14:52 > 0:14:54Jess. I brought you some tea.

0:14:56 > 0:14:58Hope it tastes better than it smells.

0:15:00 > 0:15:05- You've got a temperature. - I'll drink this and it will be fine.

0:15:05 > 0:15:07- You've got to go back to the doctor's.- Barney!

0:15:07 > 0:15:09But what if it's not flu?

0:15:09 > 0:15:11What if it's something more serious and you need medicine?

0:15:11 > 0:15:16That's what they want you to think, that every little thing needs drugs.

0:15:16 > 0:15:19- You sound just like that doctor. - Yeah, and you sound just like India.

0:15:19 > 0:15:23- What's that supposed to mean? - We started this because it's something we believe in.

0:15:23 > 0:15:26Now it sounds like it's her you believe in.

0:15:26 > 0:15:30- That's not fair. - I just reckon you should think for yourself, that's all.

0:15:30 > 0:15:34- And I think you should have a lot more respect. - This isn't about respect.

0:15:34 > 0:15:37You had a different attitude when Monk nursed you through your pneumonia.

0:15:37 > 0:15:41Ah, come on, Jess, we both know that wasn't pneumonia.

0:15:41 > 0:15:45This is our baby, and we've got to choose for it.

0:15:45 > 0:15:48Us - you and me. Not the group.

0:15:48 > 0:15:51Or India, or any new principle or idea that she wants to test on us!

0:15:51 > 0:15:55Barney, you don't get it.

0:15:55 > 0:15:56I'm scared.

0:15:56 > 0:16:00Right, this...is scary.

0:16:00 > 0:16:02I'm here.

0:16:02 > 0:16:08I know, but... The group is our family.

0:16:08 > 0:16:13The only family we've got. And India is an important part of that.

0:16:15 > 0:16:17And if that's not what you want, then...

0:16:25 > 0:16:29So you're not actually ill.

0:16:29 > 0:16:32Er, no, it's my girlfriend Jessie. She came in earlier.

0:16:32 > 0:16:34You said it was flu.

0:16:34 > 0:16:37Ah, yes. Well, sorry, I can't discuss her case with you.

0:16:37 > 0:16:38But I did everything I could.

0:16:38 > 0:16:42- But I think it's getting worse. - She needs to make an appointment.

0:16:42 > 0:16:45But she made it pretty clear that it would go against her principles.

0:16:45 > 0:16:49No, that's not what we're about. That's India talking.

0:16:49 > 0:16:51Look, there's nothing else I can do, OK?

0:16:56 > 0:16:58She said you were rude.

0:17:02 > 0:17:04Marina Bonnaire.

0:17:04 > 0:17:08Marina Bonnaire, you sound like the heroine of a 19th-century novel.

0:17:08 > 0:17:11A romantic 19th-century novel, I hope.

0:17:11 > 0:17:14- Of course. - How's it going?

0:17:14 > 0:17:18Interminably. I've snuck out for five minutes' fresh air.

0:17:18 > 0:17:21Did you get a chance to chat to Mrs Tembe?

0:17:21 > 0:17:22Oh, well, yes and no.

0:17:22 > 0:17:26But I'm just around the corner from her, so I thought I might drop by unannounced.

0:17:26 > 0:17:30- Good for you. Into the dragon's lair.- I'll tell her you said that. - Don't you dare.

0:17:30 > 0:17:32See you later. Bye.

0:17:32 > 0:17:34Bye.

0:17:41 > 0:17:44DOORBELL RINGS

0:17:47 > 0:17:52- Oh... you?- Yeah, I was just passing. thought I'd pop in. Is that OK? - Oh, yeah.

0:17:52 > 0:17:57Usually, of course, but I am right in the middle of cleaning and organising.

0:17:57 > 0:17:59Perhaps another time.

0:17:59 > 0:18:02Yeah, but that's the thing, Mrs Tembe. You see,

0:18:02 > 0:18:06- it occurred to me that I might be able to help you.- With cleaning?

0:18:06 > 0:18:11Well, no, but you see I visit an awful lot of people's homes, checking their suitability.

0:18:11 > 0:18:18Maybe I could cast my eye over yours from the point of view of a young man from the Nigerian countryside.

0:18:18 > 0:18:20Mm?

0:18:20 > 0:18:22A professional opinion.

0:18:25 > 0:18:27- KNOCKING - Come in.

0:18:29 > 0:18:30Now, Julia...

0:18:30 > 0:18:32Yes?

0:18:32 > 0:18:34I need you to drop everything and come with me.

0:18:34 > 0:18:39- Is everything all right?- It's fine, but we need to take you somewhere.

0:18:39 > 0:18:41- We?- Karen and me.

0:18:43 > 0:18:44What's going on?

0:18:44 > 0:18:47We've decided we have to go to Zumba.

0:18:47 > 0:18:50- What?! - It's absolutely essential.

0:18:50 > 0:18:52- Now?!- In 20 minutes.

0:18:52 > 0:18:56Are you mad! I've got all this to get through.

0:18:56 > 0:18:58Do it tomorrow.

0:18:58 > 0:19:01I've got no Jimmi, no Heston, Marina is on house calls,

0:19:01 > 0:19:06and Mrs Tembe has got the afternoon off. So you two are out of your tiny little minds.

0:19:06 > 0:19:09Now you're just looking for excuses.

0:19:09 > 0:19:12We thought you needed a distraction.

0:19:12 > 0:19:14Anyway, you'll be back by 4.30.

0:19:16 > 0:19:18No. And that's final.

0:19:18 > 0:19:20Not even...Ooh!

0:19:25 > 0:19:26No.

0:19:28 > 0:19:32Oh, I am taking those to the charity shop. They are not suitable.

0:19:32 > 0:19:34They're just romance novels.

0:19:34 > 0:19:37He may think they are too...well, worldly.

0:19:37 > 0:19:44- And is this the area for prayer? - Yes. Er, do you think it looks inviting enough?

0:19:44 > 0:19:50I do and, er, to be honest, Mrs Tembe, I don't think you've got anything to worry about.

0:19:50 > 0:19:55You've got a lovely home. It's tidy and it's spotless...

0:19:55 > 0:19:57I do not know.

0:19:57 > 0:20:00I am not sure I can go through with this.

0:20:00 > 0:20:04Perhaps I should call Reverend Stanhope and call the whole thing off.

0:20:04 > 0:20:06Oh, now, hold on a minute - let's not be too hasty.

0:20:06 > 0:20:08How about a cup of tea first? Hey?

0:20:23 > 0:20:26Oi! What do you think you're doing?

0:20:26 > 0:20:28- Checking your bins. - What for?

0:20:28 > 0:20:31I don't know - discarded medicine, a prescription pad...anything.

0:20:31 > 0:20:34We don't "discard" medicine!

0:20:34 > 0:20:37Look, I just want to make my girlfriend better!

0:20:37 > 0:20:38Oh, rummaging in bins is going to help do that?

0:20:38 > 0:20:44- If you'd done your job properly, I wouldn't have to!- I tried to help... - I don't care what you tried to do.

0:20:44 > 0:20:50She's getting worse. She's got a high temperature, her vision's blurry, she's dizzy all the time...

0:20:50 > 0:20:54Well, hold on, she never told me that. Where is she now?

0:20:54 > 0:20:59She...she's nearby. I'll show you. Why, what do you think it is?

0:20:59 > 0:21:03I'm not sure. It could be toxoplasmosis.

0:21:03 > 0:21:08Mrs Tembe, all I can do is offer you the same advice

0:21:08 > 0:21:11I give to new mums which is, in fact, what you'll be.

0:21:13 > 0:21:14Don't try to be perfect.

0:21:16 > 0:21:18But...but what if...

0:21:18 > 0:21:22Look, it's impossible, and trying is going to drive you mad.

0:21:22 > 0:21:25What you're doing is good enough and that's allowed, OK?

0:21:25 > 0:21:29But what if I do not live up to his expectations?

0:21:29 > 0:21:33Well, then his expectations are too high. He'll just have to lower them.

0:21:33 > 0:21:37What he needs is a landlady with a lovely house,

0:21:37 > 0:21:41occasional bit of moral guidance, and an introduction into how we do things here.

0:21:41 > 0:21:46And if you, of all people, aren't good enough for the job, then I really don't know who would be.

0:21:46 > 0:21:48Mr Mezu is really lucky to have you.

0:21:54 > 0:21:59Would you like a slice of home-made cake?

0:22:01 > 0:22:03This had better be good.

0:22:03 > 0:22:05Ready?

0:22:14 > 0:22:16- Who is this? - He's with me. It's urgent.

0:22:16 > 0:22:18I have to see Jessie Preece. Now.

0:22:18 > 0:22:20- And you are? - Her doctor.

0:22:20 > 0:22:26She doesn't have a doctor. She has a holistic medical practitioner who lives with us here in the house.

0:22:26 > 0:22:28Well, she came to see me this morning,

0:22:28 > 0:22:33which makes her my patient, and this is an emergency. So excuse me.

0:22:36 > 0:22:38Jessie!

0:22:38 > 0:22:42It's going to be OK, Jess. Doctor Tyler's here from the Campus.

0:22:42 > 0:22:47- But I don't want him. India! - Forget India. We need to get you to hospital - now!

0:22:47 > 0:22:52Jessie? I think I know what's wrong with you. It's potentially serious, but easily treatable.

0:22:52 > 0:22:55You said it was flu.

0:22:55 > 0:22:59I think I was wrong. You need medicine.

0:22:59 > 0:23:00Your baby needs it.

0:23:04 > 0:23:07Remind me again whose idea this was?

0:23:07 > 0:23:10It'll be all right when it gets going.

0:23:10 > 0:23:11MUSIC STARTS

0:23:13 > 0:23:15THEY CHANT "ZUMBA ZUMBA"

0:23:15 > 0:23:17It's a cult.

0:23:25 > 0:23:27Look at those abs!

0:23:27 > 0:23:28Look at those shorts!

0:23:28 > 0:23:31This isn't Strictly, is it?

0:23:31 > 0:23:34He's definitely not Brucie! Come on, girls.

0:23:34 > 0:23:36- No!- No!

0:23:53 > 0:23:56Leave her alone. You can't make her go with you.

0:23:56 > 0:24:01- And you can't make her stay. - Just because one member of the group doesn't understand the consequences

0:24:01 > 0:24:03- of his actions...- Just shut up!

0:24:03 > 0:24:06I'm sorry, India. I didn't know he was bringing him.

0:24:06 > 0:24:09It's OK, Jessie. We'll deal with this later.

0:24:09 > 0:24:13- But for now, I want the doctor to leave. - Jessie, you need treatment.

0:24:13 > 0:24:15You've got a high fever and your pulse is racing.

0:24:15 > 0:24:17Do you understand me? I need to get you to hospital!

0:24:17 > 0:24:19I don't know.

0:24:19 > 0:24:23- You can't take her. She's ours. And the baby.- What are you doing?

0:24:23 > 0:24:24Jessie decides.

0:24:24 > 0:24:26She's too feverish to decide.

0:24:26 > 0:24:27Please stop arguing.

0:24:27 > 0:24:29She's too important to the group.

0:24:29 > 0:24:36Don't you see? She's the proof. If we have this baby, then we'll show it can be done. Our way.

0:24:36 > 0:24:37That's enough!

0:24:37 > 0:24:41You don't mean our way. You mean your way.

0:24:41 > 0:24:45This isn't what I want, but I thought you cared about me, about us!

0:24:45 > 0:24:49- Jess, we'll look after you. - No, you won't.

0:24:49 > 0:24:53I am not an "experiment" and we are not a cult!

0:24:53 > 0:24:56This was supposed to be supported living!

0:24:56 > 0:25:01- "Living outside society's expectations", what you said. - That's what we're doing!

0:25:01 > 0:25:07No, it's not. I don't know what you're doing, but it's not based on free living.

0:25:07 > 0:25:11You've taken things too far, and if you're willing

0:25:11 > 0:25:15to jeopardize my baby for that, then you are no family of mine.

0:25:15 > 0:25:19Please, take me away from here.

0:25:20 > 0:25:25If you go now, you will never be allowed back!

0:25:27 > 0:25:30Jessie, please...we're your family.

0:25:30 > 0:25:33Barney and the baby are my family.

0:25:48 > 0:25:51Thanks, ladies. Thanks for coming. Thanks for coming.

0:25:53 > 0:25:55Same time tomorrow?

0:25:55 > 0:25:59I don't think I'll be ready by the same time next week!

0:25:59 > 0:26:03OK, next week then. And I'm thinking...same outfits?

0:26:03 > 0:26:04Really?

0:26:04 > 0:26:08- Are you joking? - Yeah! I'm joking!

0:26:08 > 0:26:13This was a moment of madness for which you two are responsible. But...

0:26:13 > 0:26:18I really do appreciate it. Thank you. You're good friends.

0:26:18 > 0:26:20Thanks, girls.

0:26:22 > 0:26:25Well, thank you. You...you have been very kind.

0:26:25 > 0:26:28Ah, it's been fun.

0:26:28 > 0:26:30I cannot believe I have been so silly.

0:26:30 > 0:26:34Oh, you haven't been silly, Mrs Tembe. And in any case, it's allowed.

0:26:34 > 0:26:36I remember.

0:26:36 > 0:26:41- I'll see you tomorrow, yeah? - To be honest, Miss Bonnaire...

0:26:41 > 0:26:46I did not see it before, but Doctor Carter is very lucky to have you.

0:26:47 > 0:26:49No. I'm the lucky one.

0:27:00 > 0:27:02You're not welcome on this estate. You never were.

0:27:02 > 0:27:03We'll go when we're ready.

0:27:04 > 0:27:06Today.

0:27:06 > 0:27:07I'm still waiting to hear on my housing.

0:27:07 > 0:27:10- Mm.- Living on at estate, it's killing me.

0:27:13 > 0:27:14What you after?

0:27:14 > 0:27:17- Yeah, we're not buying, thanks, love. - How absolutely...

0:27:17 > 0:27:19Do I look like I'm here to purchase some...?

0:27:19 > 0:27:21Crack cocaine?
