The Ones We Leave Behind Doctors

Best deals in all of Letherbridge.

All the big names and your bank manager stays a happy man.

How does he sell this quality

at these prices, you ask yourself?

It's a calling. It's a religion. Bring a little joy.

Come on, mate. Take a look. Treat yourself.

Buy a bit of happiness.

Step this way, madam. All the best quality, look at that.

Ah.

-Morning, sir.

-Morning.

-Can I ask you what you're doing?

I'm just earning a crust, officer.

Right, OK, well, can I see your Pedlars Certificate?

That would be...?

That would be your permit, sir. For trade as travel.

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Yeah, um...

-Can't find it?

-I must have left it at home this morning.

-Not your day, is it?

-It's early yet.

We've received some information about a con man

who's working in the area.

He's cheating people out of their savings with bogus investments.

He matches your description.

I have that kind of face.

What kind of face is that, sir? A criminal one?

Have you got any ID? And proof that your goods aren't counterfeit?

Er, yeah, yeah.

Oh.

Well, look at that, they've all got different names.

I'm looking after them for a friend. Friends.

Family?

They must be very proud of you.

7-2-4-4 to control. I'm on Letherbridge High Street.

SNORING

-Mmm. What? What?

-You're snoring again.

Every night. Every single night.

Hour after hour, all I hear is hurgh, urgh, hurgh!

Maybe if I cleared out the spare room.

How's that going to help me now?

I've got my teenage mums support group.

-What am I supposed to do?

-Let me make you breakfast.

I know it doesn't make up for a bad night's sleep.

But at least it'll show how sorry I am.

7-2-4-4 to control.

Where's that back-up gone? I can't find him.

PHONE RINGS

DOOR OPENS

Excuse me.

-Morning.

-Yes?

You look like a woman who knows a great opportunity when she hears one.

I know a cheap sales pitch when I hear it.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime deal.

So is a terminal illness. Not interested, thank you.

Just hear me out, please.

I don't waste my time talking to strange men.

All right. Look, the police are after me.

I just need to stay out of their way for five minutes.

-You've got to help me. Please.

-Not my problem.

If you don't want to get caught, you shouldn't break the law.

I was just trading in the street without a licence.

For my daughter's sake.

If I'm arrested, my ex'll never let me see my daughter.

Please.

SIRENS WAIL

Go straight through to the kitchen. Sit down.

Don't touch anything.

Hello. How's Mummy today?

No?

Couldn't resist him.

Actually, I was trying to take my mind off all the waiting.

I'm glad you're able to do that.

The consultant said we could go?

If someone doesn't give us the OK soon, I am going to kill them.

Don't get your hopes up, OK?

It's so noisy in here, I haven't slept a wink.

-Plus, it smells.

-It's not that bad.

I now have an intimate knowledge of everybody's paternity tests

and sexual histories,

delivered in loud voices around the clock.

Enough is enough.

-I know how you feel, all right?

-Really?

We've got to be sure Joe's breathing is OK.

And if that takes another day or two days or whatever,

it's worth it.

We don't want to take any risks.

BABIES CRY

To your liking?

It's lovely. Thank you.

I'm sorry I was so short.

I get so grumpy when I'm tired.

All perfectly understandable.

No harm done.

Now, English breakfast. I thought I'd go the traditional route.

What is wrong with you?

You know I need coffee for breakfast!

Especially after I've hardly had a wink of sleep!

-Ow!

-Sorry.

-It was an accident.

No, Marina, come here, come here.

-It was an accident.

-It's happening again.

-It was an accident.

-Heston.

-It's OK. It's OK.

What were you doing?

Not turning you in just yet, if that's what you're asking.

My father's ill, I was checking up on him.

-Thank you. Charles Huxley.

-Victoria McKenna.

Give me one good reason why I shouldn't turn you in.

-You want the whole, sad story?

-You can skip the made-up bits.

I worked hard for my family,

days, nights, whatever it took.

I'm an ideas man. Always on the lookout for opportunities.

I hit a bad patch.

A couple of business failures and my wife threw me out.

Just like that?

If I wasn't earning, she wasn't interested.

And she'll take you back if you get rich quick?

Oh, no, no, no, I don't want her back.

I want to be with my daughter.

I love my Layla.

I just want to do right by her.

Fair enough.

So, now, I'm putting together some seed money

for a business investment. It's an amazing opportunity.

DOORBELL RINGS

It'll be that copper again. Don't answer it

Dad'll wonder what's going on if I don't answer.

-All right, but, please, don't turn me in.

-Please.

Good morning, madam. We're making enquiries about a suspect

that's been seen in the area.

Tall, slim, well-dressed, well-spoken. Gift of the gab.

I haven't seen anyone, I'm sorry.

-I'm alone in the house with my sick father.

-OK, right.

Well, if you see any strangers prowling around,

-I'd appreciate a call.

-Of course.

-Thank you.

Ooh.

Oh, thank you.

-I owe you. Big time.

-Yes, you do.

Look, I want to pay you back.

That investment I mentioned earlier, I'm sworn to secrecy.

It's such a massive opportunity.

That's why I was trying to raise some fast cash.

I want to offer you the chance to come in on it.

It's the least I could do.

-Why should I trust you?

-Absolutely, why should you?

But I couldn't live with myself if I didn't at least offer.

After all you've done for me.

I haven't got any spare cash.

That's a shame.

Property deals this good rarely come along.

Tell me about it.

They're developing some warehouses down by the river

into high-end apartments. Huge returns on investment.

The offer's open to your father as well,

if he wants to put some money in.

I'll ask him, but I'm sure his answer will be no.

You need to calm down, you're going to wear a hole in the floor.

OK, Daddy needs to stop winding people up who are already wound up,

doesn't he?

Yes, he does.

Daddy needs to start being nice, especially after he made us

move into that horrible house with all the horrible, horrible wood...

-Zara.

-..which Daddy thinks is great, but actually isn't.

It is not great at all.

Zara.

The consultant's given us the all-clear. We can go.

Really?

You were always so good with money, Dad.

Should we trust him?

I know.

I know. It's down to me.

He obviously cares about his daughter, though.

You can see it in his eyes.

That's a good sign, right?

OK, let's do it.

Dad might be interested.

He won't regret it.

But I'll have to know all the details.

I can get everything you need.

First, I need to put some cash down with the broker to buy you in.

-No.

-What?

You could run off with the money and I'd never see you again.

Here.

-Is that gold?

-It's not cheap.

But if it helps you trust me...

-I don't understand.

-It's collateral.

So you know I won't rip you off.

And if your dad comes in on the deal, you get to keep it.

Sound fair?

Excellent.

I'm sorry. I have to go now.

But we can meet up later to get the cash out, if you like?

Elaine, er, can I have a word?

Sure.

I've been thinking about having some counselling.

For quite a while, actually.

And I was wondering if you...

I've researched it and everything and, erm,

but it seems I might benefit from, you know,

talking things through with someone.

I've got some free time this afternoon, if you're interested.

A cancellation.

What, today?

Erm, sorry, I can't do this afternoon.

It's a big step. Think about it.

You know where I am.

I'll sleep on it. Thanks.

When I get home, I don't want to be slaving over a hot oven.

It was the only way I could get Brian to swap a shift on Saturday.

-You bribed him with one of my cakes?

-He loves your baking.

He's the only one who does?

Look, you were the one nagging me to go away for the weekend.

So, I have to earn it by working all night in the kitchen.

Is that what you're saying, Rob?

Just trying to do something nice for you.

-You get the ingredients and I'll think about it.

-PHONE RINGS

Right. Thanks, love.

-Hello, again.

-Hello.

-Yup. ..One second.

Miss McKenna, if you'd like to follow me.

I don't want the panic attacks to start again.

It's been four years since they were a regular problem.

Two months ago, I started feeling anxious again

and it's getting worse.

I was wondering if you could prescribe me something?

Erm, anti-anxiety medication is an option,

your blood pressure's normal.

New watch?

It's a gift. From a friend.

Panic attacks and depression often go hand-in-hand. Have you been feeling down?

-A little.

-Any particular reason?

Just life in general.

And I see that your father hasn't been in for his regular heart check

for the last two months.

-Is he still living at home?

-Of course.

You mentioned before that he'd threatened to leave

-on more than one occasion.

-My father would never abandon me.

Never.

Layla. Look, I'm sorry I couldn't pick up earlier.

I didn't want to leave this in a message, but you should know,

I'm sorting everything out, darling.

Erm...

I'm going to be coming home soon

and this time, I'm going to bring you some nice presents, OK?

I just want to be, be a good dad.

I can't wait to see you.

We need to keep an eye on your son's condition.

I'll pop over in my lunch break.

Life can really be a bit of a burden at times.

But don't hesitate to ring, if there's anything I can do.

-Really. Anything at all.

-Thank you.

There we are.

It's OK to be frightened.

Look who's talking.

-You're the one who went into total meltdown.

-Slight exaggeration.

We'll be fine.

Something wrong?

Nothing.

-You're not joining me?

-I'm not really in the mood.

It doesn't do to bottle things up, you know.

And if you've had some bad news, get it off your chest.

You'll feel better.

I was talking to the doctor about Dad.

He's been my life since Mum died. Dad's everything to me.

And now, he's ill,

you're afraid of being left alone?

I'm afraid of that too.

I may never see my family again.

The police are crawling all over my place.

Then, stay here.

Just for the night. Or as long as you like.

Why would you do that for me?

Maybe you deserve another chance.

Thank you. Thank you very much.

You'll have to change your clothes, though.

Will I?

The police will have circulated your description by now.

Try these for size.

What, now?

You can change upstairs in the bathroom. First on the left.

-Hi.

-Hi. You don't happen to have any unusual dessert recipes?

Erm, unusual?

I can make red velvet cake with cream cheese icing. Why?

I just wanted to make something really nice for Heston.

Well, he'll love that. I'll let you have the recipe later.

I've managed to shuffle things round, so if you're free later...

I am. But if you want to wait till you're ready...

I'm ready.

Why's it so hot in here?

-I'll check the thermostat.

-Well, don't make it too cold.

-OK.

We wanted only elephants, didn't we?

Naughty, naughty, naughty Daddy.

I'll fix it.

Perfect.

I just need to pop out for a couple of things.

I'll come with you.

No need.

We have to go to the bank to get the cash out.

Actually, I'm having second thoughts about that investment.

There's a couple of things I should check before you risk your savings.

Well, if you're sure.

I should get going.

Oh.

I feel strange.

What's wrong with me?

Oh...

-What time was this, sir?

-Yeah, it was about quarter past one.

Right, thanks.

I'm back again.

I've just been talking to your neighbour

and he reckons that he saw my suspect go inside your house.

Not again.

HE GROANS

He's got a few problems.

Not all there, if you know what I mean.

Oh, right.

So, you haven't seen anyone?

Not a soul. Just me and Dad all day.

I really don't like him being disturbed like this.

No, of course you don't. I'm sorry to have troubled you again.

You'll learn to like it here.

I promise.

Sorry, sorry.

-What am I like?

-It's all right.

It's just a chat. No big deal.

And it's all in confidence. So, you don't have to worry.

Whatever's on your mind.

-OK?

-OK.

My temper.

We all get cross.

Not like me.

I'm fine most of the time,

but it's like a bomb goes off in my head.

And then, everyone in the vicinity gets taken out.

OK. Go on.

Tell me about the times when you get angry.

Oh, gosh, I can't really remember.

I really blew my top

when a patient didn't turn up for an appointment.

Any other specific occasions? Things that really get to you.

I really lost my temper when the computer ate

this breast-feeding leaflet I'd been working on for hours.

And I just threw the mouse right across the room, you know.

I just want to see my little girl.

I want a second chance.

You've got one. Here.

A new life.

Please. Please, let me go.

You can't trust me.

I was going to cheat you out of your savings.

You had a change of heart. That means you care.

Why would anyone give anyone a fake watch as a gift?

-That's just tacky.

-Or thoughtless.

-What have I done now?

-That's always a dangerous question.

-Ooh, where shall I begin?

-See?

-Oi.

I have risked my job sneaking into a supermarket to get this lot.

Are you saying that a weekend away with me isn't worth it?

And I hope Brian appreciates it.

-He will.

-And?

I will.

Cue for a peace offering.

Just don't make it a knock-off watch.

A what?

A fake watch, a patient had it?

Yeah. Bit obvious, cheap, nasty. Each to their own.

Tell me about your marriage.

-How did you feel after the break-up?

-Sad.

Not angry?

I was relieved, actually. I'd seen it coming for a while.

Did you lose your temper after the break-up?

Once it was over, I felt like, like a weight had been lifted,

like I was free of something that wasn't working.

I mean, it hadn't been working for a while.

How did Ken feel about the break-up?

Oh, I think he was relieved too.

I think that's a good time to break.

So, what do you think?

Well, the anger issues are quite recent.

To be honest, everything seems on the normal spectrum.

A natural reaction to events around you.

-Really?

-Mmm, I shouldn't worry.

It's not a bad thing to vent your feelings now and again.

Much worse to keep them bottled up.

I'm getting fed up with this.

Believe me, you are not as fed up as I am.

I want a straight answer this time.

-I told you, I haven't seen your man.

-No?

Then, do you mind telling me where you got that watch from?

It's counterfeit.

The same kind of counterfeit watch that my suspect's been selling.

Shall we talk about this inside?

No. Go away.

CRASH

Go away!

Stay with him.

KNOCKING ON THE DOOR

-Open the door now.

-Leave us alone!

Move away from the door!

Go away!

Go away!

Get out, get out, get out!

New border bought. I'll replace it first thing.

Are we going to forgive him? Yes, we are.

-Are you going to keep doing that?

-Are we going to keep doing that?

Zara. It's infuriating.

-That's why Daddy loves us.

-Come here.

-Hey, look.

-Hello, mate.

-Hello.

I think you had a lucky escape.

I only wanted to do right by my little girl.

By cheating people out of their savings?

I dealt with two con tricks last month, was that you?

You know, the courts might view a confession favourably.

So, I might get out early?

It could have been me.

I just want a chance to put things right.

I feel sorry for her.

After what she did to you?

She just missed her dad.

Have you seen this?

Oh, they're making a meal of it.

I wonder what was going through his mind

when he killed that girl, Lauren. What do you think?

Really have no idea.

All that time, it was locked away inside him,

all that hatred, all that anger.

-Yeah, you know, I'd really rather not talk about this.

-Sorry.

I mean, who knows what's in the mind of a psychopath?

You'll be wondering who this is and what he's doing here,

which is probably something he's wondering himself.

I'm not asleep, Julia.

Women have been doing this for several millennia,

how hard can it be?

Please, please, shush.

You need to fix this!

I'm sorry. I will, I promise.
