0:00:45 > 0:00:46BABY GURGLES

0:00:46 > 0:00:48I can see from your eyes,

0:00:48 > 0:00:52you're going to be a little real charmer, just like your daddy.

0:00:52 > 0:00:56We'll have to keep an eye on that gambling gene, though, won't we?

0:00:56 > 0:00:58- How is he?- He's fine.

0:00:58 > 0:01:00(SOFTLY) Hey!

0:01:00 > 0:01:03Did he wake up again? I told you to wake me if he did.

0:01:03 > 0:01:05No. He slept really well.

0:01:05 > 0:01:09It seems trying to establish a routine really seems to be working.

0:01:09 > 0:01:12- And we've been experimenting too. - With what?

0:01:12 > 0:01:17If I gently blow into his ear, he sort of hums.

0:01:18 > 0:01:21We'll be playing a tune before the end of the month.

0:01:21 > 0:01:24I thought I'd pop by the Mill today. They want me to bring Joe in.

0:01:24 > 0:01:27I've got an appointment. Can you come after that?

0:01:27 > 0:01:30- So you can do the proud father routine?- Of course.

0:01:30 > 0:01:33Of course. But it can't be too late. I'm meeting some childminders later.

0:01:33 > 0:01:35What for?

0:01:35 > 0:01:39- To redesign the garden(!)- You're thinking of going back to work?

0:01:39 > 0:01:41If I can get Joe used to the odd morning,

0:01:41 > 0:01:43it won't be such a shock when I do.

0:01:43 > 0:01:45You're not serious.

0:02:17 > 0:02:22I just can't believe you. After everything we've been through, you come up with this.

0:02:22 > 0:02:25I always said I'd go back to work as soon as he was born.

0:02:25 > 0:02:26Not this soon, though!

0:02:26 > 0:02:31And I thought you'd change your mind once the hormones kicked in!

0:02:31 > 0:02:34You mean once I stopped being a rational human being?

0:02:34 > 0:02:38I can't talk to you when you're like this. I'm going to be late.

0:02:38 > 0:02:39Oh, run along.

0:02:39 > 0:02:42Look, just cancel the interviews for now,

0:02:42 > 0:02:45until we've had a chance to talk about it properly.

0:02:45 > 0:02:49OK, we'll talk about it later. Once you've had a chance to calm down.

0:03:12 > 0:03:14COUGHING

0:03:20 > 0:03:21Julia's on the warpath.

0:03:21 > 0:03:24She wants these Quality and Outcomes thingies, pronto.

0:03:24 > 0:03:27She won't get mine until I've finished house calls.

0:03:27 > 0:03:28- Good morning!- Morning.

0:03:31 > 0:03:34You really need to start building some bridges.

0:03:34 > 0:03:37What's the point? I'm never going to get a job here, am I?

0:03:37 > 0:03:41Wait for the AKT results to come in, they'll be suitably impressed.

0:03:41 > 0:03:45- Yeah, maybe. Reckon I did pretty well.- Well, there you go.

0:03:48 > 0:03:52Right. "Hi, Mandy, how are you?

0:03:52 > 0:03:55"Hi, Mandy, are you still speaking to me?"

0:03:55 > 0:03:58- What's happened?- I don't know.

0:03:58 > 0:04:01I've really tried to make things work with her, but...

0:04:01 > 0:04:05What is it with people around here? Why can't they be honest with themselves?

0:04:05 > 0:04:09All right! It's not that easy. You can't force things to go well.

0:04:09 > 0:04:11I didn't mean...

0:04:11 > 0:04:14Don't get me wrong, Mandy's great,

0:04:14 > 0:04:16but we don't really have a lot in common.

0:04:16 > 0:04:19All that knitting stuff.

0:04:19 > 0:04:21And her favourite programme's Glee.

0:04:21 > 0:04:24Would you listen to yourself for a minute?

0:04:28 > 0:04:30I thought the place was empty.

0:04:30 > 0:04:34You're not going to give me any trouble, are you?

0:04:34 > 0:04:35Do you hear me?

0:04:35 > 0:04:36HARRY COUGHS

0:04:42 > 0:04:43What?

0:04:44 > 0:04:46What do you want?!

0:04:48 > 0:04:50This thing?

0:05:02 > 0:05:03Water.

0:05:06 > 0:05:08Water.

0:05:30 > 0:05:31Here.

0:05:35 > 0:05:37Can't you do anything yourself?

0:06:08 > 0:06:09(WEAKLY) You came!

0:06:14 > 0:06:19"Being cared for by strangers in the first years of life can send levels of stress soaring.

0:06:19 > 0:06:22"May suffer from behavioural problems, antisocial behaviour..."

0:06:22 > 0:06:24- KNOCK ON DOOR - Yep?

0:06:24 > 0:06:26St Phil's just rang to apologise.

0:06:26 > 0:06:29- They've re-scheduled your meeting for ten.- OK, thanks.

0:06:29 > 0:06:31Oh, Karen. Can I have a word?

0:06:34 > 0:06:38- How did you manage when your kids were young?- Who says I did?!

0:06:38 > 0:06:40What kind of childcare did you use?

0:06:40 > 0:06:42All we could afford! Yours truly.

0:06:42 > 0:06:45Oh. OK. So when did you go back to work?

0:06:45 > 0:06:51When they went to school. Tell a lie, Immie was in pre-school for a bit.

0:06:51 > 0:06:53- And you never thought of anything else?- No.

0:06:53 > 0:06:56Aw, you shouldn't be worrying about this stuff now.

0:06:56 > 0:06:58- This is a special time!- Yeah. OK.

0:06:58 > 0:07:00- Yup.- Yup.

0:07:02 > 0:07:05It's been...so long.

0:07:07 > 0:07:10It's good. You're really here.

0:07:12 > 0:07:15Look, I don't know who you think I am, mate,

0:07:15 > 0:07:18but I've no idea what you're on about, so...

0:07:20 > 0:07:21DOORBELL RINGS

0:07:21 > 0:07:22Now what?!

0:07:25 > 0:07:27HARRY COUGHS

0:07:27 > 0:07:28DOORBELL RINGS

0:07:28 > 0:07:29Who is it?

0:07:40 > 0:07:41Oh, hi.

0:07:41 > 0:07:44No-one answered, so I assumed Harry was alone, sorry.

0:07:44 > 0:07:48Dr Elaine Cassidy. The nurse came earlier, said he'd taken a turn for the worse.

0:07:48 > 0:07:51You must be really worried. Harry.

0:07:54 > 0:07:57Now, don't all crowd at once!

0:07:57 > 0:07:59Aw, how's my gorgeous boy?

0:07:59 > 0:08:00Hey, little Joe!

0:08:02 > 0:08:05- Have you missed your daddy? - He's been absolutely fine!

0:08:05 > 0:08:09- Minima maxima sunt.- He's a little young for Latin, Heston.

0:08:09 > 0:08:12"The smallest things are most important."

0:08:12 > 0:08:13Aw, I like that!

0:08:15 > 0:08:16You look amazing.

0:08:16 > 0:08:18And?

0:08:18 > 0:08:21No...I mean, considering you've recently had a baby.

0:08:21 > 0:08:23Back to normal in no time!

0:08:24 > 0:08:26(And thanks, for everything.)

0:08:27 > 0:08:29BABY CRIES

0:08:29 > 0:08:31Is Julia around? I need to have a quick word.

0:08:31 > 0:08:34You'll have to pick your moment, cos she's on one today.

0:08:34 > 0:08:37- Joe will need feeding.- He's fine. I need to catch up on a few things.

0:08:37 > 0:08:41- What about Joe? I've got to go to St Phil's.- We'll think of something!

0:08:41 > 0:08:45- Wh...- I'll have him, if you like.

0:08:45 > 0:08:46Yeah?

0:08:46 > 0:08:48Breathe in for me, Harry.

0:08:48 > 0:08:49HARRY COUGHS

0:08:49 > 0:08:52OK. Thank you. Take it easy.

0:08:52 > 0:08:54I'm going to check your eyes, Harry.

0:08:54 > 0:08:55HARRY WHIMPERS

0:09:00 > 0:09:04OK. That's lovely. I'm just checking for anaemia.

0:09:04 > 0:09:06It's common in your dad's condition.

0:09:06 > 0:09:07Dad?

0:09:08 > 0:09:10He doesn't tell me much.

0:09:12 > 0:09:17Well, its nice to meet you at last. Harry's spoken a lot about you.

0:09:17 > 0:09:18Is that right?

0:09:23 > 0:09:25ZARA KNOCKS ON DOOR

0:09:26 > 0:09:30Now, don't get too excited. It's just a little something.

0:09:30 > 0:09:31For what?

0:09:31 > 0:09:33The birth of my son?

0:09:35 > 0:09:38Yeah, course, sorry. You don't need to thank me!

0:09:38 > 0:09:42We were a little more intimately acquainted than I would have liked!

0:09:42 > 0:09:45But you got us through.

0:09:45 > 0:09:48This is just to say thanks.

0:09:56 > 0:09:58Zara, it's beautiful.

0:09:58 > 0:10:00You really shouldn't have.

0:10:02 > 0:10:04I'm getting a bit emotional.

0:10:04 > 0:10:08Well, don't, please. I get quite enough tears with Joe.

0:10:11 > 0:10:14- The reports were due in this morning.- It's all in hand.

0:10:14 > 0:10:16I've just got couple of final touches.

0:10:21 > 0:10:25So, I texted Mandy, and she hasn't even bothered to respond.

0:10:25 > 0:10:26Maybe she's busy.

0:10:26 > 0:10:29Maybe I should forget the whole thing.

0:10:29 > 0:10:33Why don't you just admit it? You're afraid to be happy!

0:10:33 > 0:10:34What?

0:10:34 > 0:10:37Why are you assuming things are going to go wrong

0:10:37 > 0:10:39before they've even started! How mad is that?

0:10:39 > 0:10:43You're lecturing me on relationships?

0:10:43 > 0:10:45At least I don't choose to be unhappy.

0:10:45 > 0:10:47What are you on about?

0:10:47 > 0:10:49I don't even know why Mandy wastes her time!

0:10:49 > 0:10:51Thank you. Have you done?

0:10:51 > 0:10:55Oh, and you know that eternal student thing? It's a cop-out.

0:10:58 > 0:10:59The nurse was right -

0:10:59 > 0:11:02the area around the catheter looks a bit sore.

0:11:02 > 0:11:03- Does it feel tender?- Mm-hm.

0:11:03 > 0:11:07OK. I'll take a swab, get it checked for infection.

0:11:07 > 0:11:11In the meantime, I'll give you some antibiotics.

0:11:11 > 0:11:15- Have you taken a few hours off work? - Yeah.

0:11:16 > 0:11:19I suppose your line of work is pretty flexible.

0:11:23 > 0:11:28He's very proud of you, you know. Says you're a financial whizz.

0:11:28 > 0:11:29Really?

0:11:29 > 0:11:32I struggle with ISAs, let alone anything else.

0:11:32 > 0:11:37Perhaps I should give you a call? You could sort out my finances.

0:11:37 > 0:11:39Whereabouts are you based?

0:11:40 > 0:11:42Is it far from the city centre?

0:11:42 > 0:11:44A bit, yeah. Yeah.

0:11:47 > 0:11:49I've just got my scruffy clothes on today.

0:11:49 > 0:11:51In case your dad needs a hand with anything?

0:11:51 > 0:11:53He's said you're round at a moment's notice.

0:11:55 > 0:11:56You do your best.

0:11:56 > 0:12:00You'd be surprised at the people who don't.

0:12:00 > 0:12:05I have patients with family who never visit.

0:12:05 > 0:12:09- They don't seem to care, really. - They'll have reasons.

0:12:09 > 0:12:13Sure, but however complicated things get,

0:12:13 > 0:12:16it's hard not to see the bigger picture.

0:12:16 > 0:12:17What's that?

0:12:19 > 0:12:23Life is short. You only get one chance.

0:12:25 > 0:12:27I've just got to...

0:12:29 > 0:12:30I won't be a minute.

0:12:36 > 0:12:40I just need to wash my hands. Put that out! Now!

0:12:40 > 0:12:42- Calm down.- Do it!

0:12:42 > 0:12:46Your dad's on oxygen in there. Do you know how dangerous that is?

0:12:46 > 0:12:48- Yes.- You could have killed him!

0:12:48 > 0:12:51I'm sorry. I wasn't thinking.

0:12:52 > 0:12:56I'm a bit all over the place, actually.

0:12:56 > 0:12:58I know, it must be upsetting.

0:13:00 > 0:13:05Next time, take it outside, OK?

0:13:05 > 0:13:08Your dad's been having regular visits from the district nurse,

0:13:08 > 0:13:13but I think we need to look again at the care plan.

0:13:13 > 0:13:15How do you mean?

0:13:15 > 0:13:17Now his mesothelioma's so advanced,

0:13:17 > 0:13:19he's going to need round-the-clock care.

0:13:19 > 0:13:22A hospice would be the best option.

0:13:22 > 0:13:24Hospice?

0:13:24 > 0:13:27Hopefully, if we can step up the care plan...

0:13:27 > 0:13:31and you're able to support him... what do you think?

0:13:31 > 0:13:37I don't know. I'm going to need a bit of time to figure it out.

0:13:38 > 0:13:41Sure. But you must understand, you can't take too long.

0:13:41 > 0:13:43- He's very weak.- Sure. Yeah.

0:13:43 > 0:13:47OK. You appreciate what I'm saying?

0:13:47 > 0:13:49Yeah. Yeah.

0:13:49 > 0:13:52We should get back in there.

0:14:00 > 0:14:04I even found myself singing Twinkle, Twinkle the other night.

0:14:04 > 0:14:06Don't tell Daniel!

0:14:06 > 0:14:08My lips are sealed!

0:14:08 > 0:14:13- So what did you want to see me for? - Well, whether it is feasible for me

0:14:13 > 0:14:16to come back to work in the next few weeks.

0:14:16 > 0:14:17Oh!

0:14:17 > 0:14:22Well, um... It's your call, but are you sure?

0:14:22 > 0:14:27It may sound crazy, but everything with Joe is perfect right now.

0:14:27 > 0:14:30I don't want it to change. I don't want to start resenting him.

0:14:30 > 0:14:32I need some balance back in my life.

0:14:32 > 0:14:39If it's what you want. You've got months left of maternity leave left.

0:14:39 > 0:14:44Yes, and I still want to take it, just in a different way.

0:14:44 > 0:14:48If I come back sooner, part-time, I could extend my leave for longer.

0:14:48 > 0:14:49Have the best of both worlds.

0:14:49 > 0:14:52Ah, very clever!

0:14:53 > 0:14:56It's entirely your decision, Zara.

0:14:56 > 0:14:59If that's the way you want to work it, then fine.

0:14:59 > 0:15:02So have you found yourself some suitable childcare?

0:15:02 > 0:15:06- Not yet.- Not going to be easy for a baby that young, is it?

0:15:06 > 0:15:09I'm not going to leave Joe unless Daniel and I are 100% happy.

0:15:09 > 0:15:11What does he think?

0:15:11 > 0:15:14He's gone a bit Captain Caveman about it.

0:15:14 > 0:15:16But he'll come round.

0:15:16 > 0:15:18HARRY COUGHS VIOLENTLY

0:15:18 > 0:15:22It's all right, Harry. OK, calm down. His pulse is weak.

0:15:22 > 0:15:25- Can't you do something? - Can you hold that?

0:15:26 > 0:15:30- Do you know where his medication is? - No, I don't, sorry.

0:15:30 > 0:15:33I'll give him some Diamorphine to ease the pain.

0:15:33 > 0:15:37You can let go. He'll calm down after I give him this.

0:15:39 > 0:15:41Why's no-one helped him?

0:15:41 > 0:15:42Haven't you?

0:15:46 > 0:15:47Making friends?

0:15:49 > 0:15:53Oh, Zara. I am so pleased for you.

0:15:53 > 0:15:59- You've got him, and it all went well, especially since...- Thanks.

0:15:59 > 0:16:06- Mmm. Ooh, baby smell. Best smell in the world!- Thanks, Karen.

0:16:08 > 0:16:09Has he been behaving himself?

0:16:09 > 0:16:12Just a few little grizzles. Probably been missing his mum.

0:16:16 > 0:16:19Shouldn't he be in hospital?

0:16:19 > 0:16:21What's important is you're here.

0:16:21 > 0:16:24Yeah, but...I mean, look at him!

0:16:24 > 0:16:28Didn't your father tell you his wishes?

0:16:28 > 0:16:31The last time he was in hospital, he only just pulled through.

0:16:31 > 0:16:33He made it absolutely clear the next time,

0:16:33 > 0:16:35he wanted nature to take its course.

0:16:35 > 0:16:37Maybe he didn't know what he was saying.

0:16:40 > 0:16:41Harry?

0:16:41 > 0:16:45We need you to tell John this is what you want.

0:16:45 > 0:16:46How's he going to do that?

0:16:50 > 0:16:52Stay.

0:16:53 > 0:16:56- It's what he wants, John.- Yeah.

0:16:56 > 0:16:58In his own home, with the person he loves.

0:16:58 > 0:17:02I can't do this! He don't deserve this.

0:17:04 > 0:17:06Son.

0:17:12 > 0:17:13I'm here.

0:17:14 > 0:17:16You finally came.

0:17:18 > 0:17:20He told us you visited all the time.

0:17:22 > 0:17:24Made him feel better, I suppose.

0:17:24 > 0:17:28We thought he had support, someone to cook...

0:17:28 > 0:17:32I know. I've let him down.

0:17:33 > 0:17:34I've let a lot of people down.

0:17:37 > 0:17:39Here.

0:17:41 > 0:17:42I'm sorry, Dad.

0:17:50 > 0:17:52Harry?

0:17:54 > 0:17:55He's gone.

0:18:00 > 0:18:02- Bye!- Bye!- See you, little man!

0:18:02 > 0:18:04Proud as punch!

0:18:04 > 0:18:06I've finished that report for Julia,

0:18:06 > 0:18:09so I thought I might take a long lunch.

0:18:09 > 0:18:11Oh! Lucky for some.

0:18:11 > 0:18:15Will you tell Karen that I'll be back for afternoon surgery?

0:18:15 > 0:18:16What's going on there?

0:18:16 > 0:18:17What?

0:18:17 > 0:18:20Tell me.

0:18:22 > 0:18:24Is there anything I can get for you?

0:18:26 > 0:18:28Someone I should call?

0:18:30 > 0:18:34Just remember you were there for him. He was at peace.

0:18:38 > 0:18:40Got to make the most of it.

0:18:42 > 0:18:44I'll have to do it. Phone the wife.

0:18:44 > 0:18:46- Wife?- I'm going to have to do it, go and see her.

0:18:46 > 0:18:50I'll tell her I've got myself straight. She might listen. Let me see the kid.

0:18:50 > 0:18:52You have a child?

0:18:52 > 0:18:54Boy, Mikey. He's a good lad.

0:18:54 > 0:18:57Harry never mentioned him.

0:18:57 > 0:18:58No?

0:18:58 > 0:19:00Or that you were married.

0:19:01 > 0:19:03Um...

0:19:05 > 0:19:09Excuse me, I need to get some water.

0:19:16 > 0:19:18Mandy!

0:19:18 > 0:19:20What are you doing here?

0:19:20 > 0:19:22I've just come to apologise.

0:19:22 > 0:19:25Look, forget it. I've got to go and get some lunch.

0:19:25 > 0:19:27I know. I know.

0:19:30 > 0:19:32That's why I brought this!

0:19:33 > 0:19:36It all looks really nice, but I just...

0:19:36 > 0:19:39I was an idiot and I'm really sorry.

0:19:41 > 0:19:44But I have brought pate,

0:19:44 > 0:19:47crusty bread with olives.

0:19:47 > 0:19:49Lashings of ginger beer!

0:19:59 > 0:20:02I never noticed that before.

0:20:02 > 0:20:03No?

0:20:03 > 0:20:06Any idea how it broke?

0:20:06 > 0:20:07Probably just age.

0:20:08 > 0:20:09Yeah.

0:20:11 > 0:20:13I need something from my car.

0:20:13 > 0:20:15It's just something I need to...

0:20:15 > 0:20:17Who are you?

0:20:17 > 0:20:18Does it really matter?

0:20:18 > 0:20:21Not to Harry - that was something, at least. Let me through!

0:20:21 > 0:20:24So you can phone the police?

0:20:24 > 0:20:29If you do that, I won't get my family back.

0:20:29 > 0:20:33We 'ave olives - both green and black -

0:20:33 > 0:20:36and...we 'ave some stuffed peppers.

0:20:36 > 0:20:38Lovely.

0:20:38 > 0:20:41The chef's speciality.

0:20:41 > 0:20:46We have pate from... from the shop.

0:20:48 > 0:20:49All vegetarian?

0:20:49 > 0:20:50Er, non.

0:20:50 > 0:20:54But ze goosie was very happy.

0:20:54 > 0:20:56I'm sorry. I forgot.

0:20:56 > 0:20:59It doesn't matter.

0:20:59 > 0:21:00Ginger beer?

0:21:00 > 0:21:02Absolutely.

0:21:02 > 0:21:05Yes, there you go.

0:21:08 > 0:21:10OK, now, that is impressive.

0:21:10 > 0:21:12Not the first time I've done that.

0:21:15 > 0:21:18- So.- So.

0:21:19 > 0:21:22What the hell's the matter with you?

0:21:25 > 0:21:28I need this chance. Do you understand?

0:21:28 > 0:21:30Maybe you should have thought of that

0:21:30 > 0:21:33- before you broke into a dying man's house!- I didn't know.

0:21:33 > 0:21:35You pretended to be his son!

0:21:35 > 0:21:36What choice did I have?

0:21:36 > 0:21:39We always have a choice.

0:21:39 > 0:21:42You could let me walk through that door right now.

0:21:42 > 0:21:45I can't. I can't let you ruin it for us.

0:21:45 > 0:21:46So what are you going to do?

0:21:46 > 0:21:50You can't hurt me and then call your wife and tell her you've changed.

0:21:50 > 0:21:53Don't! Because you know nothing about me.

0:21:53 > 0:21:56Why didn't you run away? When you heard me coming in?

0:21:56 > 0:21:57I should have done.

0:21:57 > 0:22:01And that glass of water. You got that for him.

0:22:01 > 0:22:03I know.

0:22:03 > 0:22:05You can choose to be better than this.

0:22:07 > 0:22:11I'm going to walk through that door, and you're not going to stop me.

0:22:23 > 0:22:25We had a right laugh at the hen do,

0:22:25 > 0:22:29then you went all weird at the wedding, then it was clowning about,

0:22:29 > 0:22:31painting plates, and then last night...

0:22:31 > 0:22:36- Yeah, I know. I know. - And it's not anything I'm doing, cos I've always been straight with you.

0:22:36 > 0:22:38Not literally, I hope.

0:22:38 > 0:22:40Oh! There you go again.

0:22:40 > 0:22:43I just... I don't get it, Freya.

0:22:44 > 0:22:48OK. Let's recap, shall we?

0:22:48 > 0:22:51One, I'm an idiot.

0:22:51 > 0:22:53Agreed.

0:22:53 > 0:22:54Thank you.

0:22:54 > 0:22:59Two, I know I'm wildly inconsistent.

0:22:59 > 0:23:04But some people might find that fascinating and charming.

0:23:06 > 0:23:07I know you don't.

0:23:07 > 0:23:14Three, I got all uncomfortable and territorial last week,

0:23:14 > 0:23:17because I couldn't handle you

0:23:17 > 0:23:19getting all pally with my team-mates.

0:23:19 > 0:23:23What did you expect me to do?

0:23:23 > 0:23:27I never said that any of this was rational!

0:23:27 > 0:23:29Four.

0:23:30 > 0:23:32I really, really like you.

0:23:34 > 0:23:37And I just hope you can put up with my crap,

0:23:37 > 0:23:41because I want to carry on seeing you.

0:23:53 > 0:23:55I've really blown it, haven't I?

0:23:55 > 0:23:58No. I've got a numb bum.

0:23:59 > 0:24:03Look, I know it was a silly idea, but I just...

0:24:03 > 0:24:06No, actually, I think it was a really good idea.

0:24:06 > 0:24:09Thank you for being honest with me.

0:24:11 > 0:24:13So do you like me again?

0:24:13 > 0:24:16Only if you show me your stuffed peppers.

0:24:32 > 0:24:35Yes, hello. It's Dr Cassidy.

0:24:35 > 0:24:38Can I make arrangements to pick up a deceased patient?

0:24:40 > 0:24:42Yes, his name's Harry Henderson.

0:24:44 > 0:24:47No. No, I'm alone.

0:24:47 > 0:24:50DOOR CLOSES

0:24:51 > 0:24:54- Oh, I wasn't expecting you back so early.- Obviously.

0:24:54 > 0:24:57- This is Susannah Davey. - Hello. Nice to meet you.

0:24:57 > 0:24:59- Hi. Where's Joe?- He's asleep.

0:24:59 > 0:25:02- It was lovely to meet you. We'll be in touch.- Thanks a lot. Bye.

0:25:05 > 0:25:07I thought you were going to wait?

0:25:07 > 0:25:11If you'd just listen, I have actually planned this quite carefully.

0:25:11 > 0:25:14A staggered return to work followed by extended part-time working.

0:25:14 > 0:25:16Yeah. That could work in theory, I guess.

0:25:16 > 0:25:20When we find someone who's wonderful with Joe, you'll see things differently.

0:25:20 > 0:25:24Will I? What about his emotional well-being?

0:25:24 > 0:25:28All the evidence suggests babies left too early develop problems.

0:25:28 > 0:25:32Scaremongering. Research done by men who hate the idea of women having careers.

0:25:32 > 0:25:36How can you be so dismissive? This is our son we're talking about!

0:25:36 > 0:25:38I would stop right there if I were you!

0:25:38 > 0:25:40Do you remember his due date?

0:25:40 > 0:25:42- Of course I do! - It's this week, Zara. This week.

0:25:42 > 0:25:47- Do you think I don't know that?! - Then why are you so desperate to leave him?!

0:25:47 > 0:25:50Ooh, quick, close the door!

0:25:50 > 0:25:52All right, all right, all right.

0:25:52 > 0:25:53It's so cold!

0:25:53 > 0:25:56You're freezing, aren't you?

0:25:56 > 0:25:59No, I'm just putting this on to make me look more attractive.

0:25:59 > 0:26:02It's working. Come here.

0:26:02 > 0:26:04- Give it a minute.- Ooh, that's nice.

0:26:05 > 0:26:08Is that your handbrake or are you just pleased to see me?

0:26:10 > 0:26:13Come on you, let's get you back to work.

0:26:18 > 0:26:20Work! Yep!

0:26:20 > 0:26:21Right! Come on.

0:26:24 > 0:26:27You must see how selfish you're being! This is madness!

0:26:27 > 0:26:31You have got a nerve, swanning back to work without a backward glance!

0:26:31 > 0:26:36- You're not going to change my mind. Joe needs full-time parental care right now.- Maybe you've got a point.

0:26:36 > 0:26:39Mothers are more important than fathers.

0:26:39 > 0:26:42- After all, it is a much more powerful bond.- I wouldn't say that.

0:26:42 > 0:26:46Really? So why don't you take a leave of absence for a few months?

0:26:46 > 0:26:47Me?

0:26:47 > 0:26:48No?

0:26:48 > 0:26:50No, I didn't think so!

0:26:56 > 0:26:58Daniel, I'm going to win.

0:26:58 > 0:27:02Who you trying to kid? You've lost half my money.

0:27:02 > 0:27:06- Choose another bag. That one is mine!- Chill out, lady.

0:27:08 > 0:27:09I lost.

0:27:09 > 0:27:11What, all of it?

0:27:11 > 0:27:13All of it.

0:27:13 > 0:27:15Please don't take my handbag!

0:27:15 > 0:27:18You cannot steal money from the surgery account.

0:27:18 > 0:27:19You'll lose your job.
