0:00:30 > 0:00:32No. I can't talk now - I'm driving.
0:00:36 > 0:00:37I'll be in shortly.
0:00:38 > 0:00:40Yeah. OK. Bye.
0:00:47 > 0:00:48CAR BEEPS HORN
0:00:48 > 0:00:50- Mum!- Sorry.
0:00:52 > 0:00:54SCHOOL BELL RINGS
0:00:56 > 0:00:59- Oh. Have you remembered your PE bag? - Too late now if I didn't.
0:01:01 > 0:01:04Great, thanks, Mum! How many times do I have to ask you?
0:01:04 > 0:01:06Keep your hands to yourself!
0:01:06 > 0:01:08Sorry.
0:01:09 > 0:01:10I've got to go.
0:01:11 > 0:01:13See you tonight then, love.
0:01:21 > 0:01:22DOOR OPENS
0:01:22 > 0:01:24- Hello. - Morning. Morning, Valerie.
0:01:24 > 0:01:26Morning, Chris.
0:01:26 > 0:01:29Oh, Chris, I'm just going to make some tea, would you like a cup?
0:01:29 > 0:01:30I'd love one, please.
0:01:30 > 0:01:33How do you like it, white with one - like your mum?
0:01:33 > 0:01:35Yes, actually...but it's not genetic.
0:01:35 > 0:01:38Not like medical talent.
0:01:38 > 0:01:41Do you know, I've worked with a lot of father/son doctor teams,
0:01:41 > 0:01:45- but this is my first mother/son. - Except I'm not a doctor.
0:01:46 > 0:01:51- What? I didn't say it. - Medical teams then.
0:01:51 > 0:01:53Isn't it lovely to see family working together?
0:01:53 > 0:01:54Yeah.
0:02:07 > 0:02:10Good morning, Patricia.
0:02:10 > 0:02:12Good morning, Sister Vincent. I didn't hear you coming.
0:02:12 > 0:02:15The chapel looks as lovely as always,
0:02:15 > 0:02:18it's a pity we can't afford to pay you to come every day.
0:02:18 > 0:02:21I could come more often, I don't mind doing it for nothing.
0:02:21 > 0:02:23Oh, nonsense.
0:02:23 > 0:02:26And how's your health? Have you got over that nasty cold?
0:02:26 > 0:02:29Yes. Thanks, Sister, all gone.
0:02:29 > 0:02:32- And how are things at home? - Good.
0:02:33 > 0:02:35Is Kim falling behind in maths again?
0:02:35 > 0:02:40No, not at all. And he's happy here, at St Mac's is he?
0:02:40 > 0:02:43Yes. Yes, of course.
0:02:43 > 0:02:45We haven't seen him at mass since Christmas.
0:02:45 > 0:02:49I've had trouble getting him out of bed on Sunday mornings.
0:02:49 > 0:02:52He insists that teenagers have a biological right to sleep in -
0:02:52 > 0:02:55something to do with circadian rhythms.
0:02:55 > 0:02:59Adolescents. You have to firm with them.
0:02:59 > 0:03:02Well, I'd better get on.
0:03:02 > 0:03:04Of course, I'm interrupting you.
0:03:04 > 0:03:07Not at all, Sister. Thank you for your time.
0:03:15 > 0:03:17PHONE RINGS
0:03:18 > 0:03:19'Hello?'
0:03:19 > 0:03:21Hi. How are you?
0:03:21 > 0:03:24Fine. Why are you calling?
0:03:24 > 0:03:28Um, well, I was wondering if we could catch up tonight?
0:03:30 > 0:03:33- Why?- Um...
0:03:33 > 0:03:35There were a few things that we missed - loose ends.
0:03:36 > 0:03:38I thought we settled everything last week.
0:03:38 > 0:03:40No. No, we didn't.
0:03:41 > 0:03:43'Are you free tonight?'
0:03:43 > 0:03:45- Yes, but...- How about 6:30?
0:03:45 > 0:03:47Why can't we just talk now, on the phone?
0:03:47 > 0:03:50Um... I can't. I've got a patients waiting.
0:03:50 > 0:03:52'I'll text you the place, 6:30, OK?'
0:03:52 > 0:03:54All right. Bye. Thanks.
0:04:02 > 0:04:04Mrs Tembe?
0:04:04 > 0:04:09No. Oh. You're... Right... My name is Valerie Pitman.
0:04:09 > 0:04:12Mrs Tembe's on holiday. Can I help you?
0:04:12 > 0:04:14Oh, yes, she did mention something about that.
0:04:14 > 0:04:17I'm sorry, I don't have an appointment,
0:04:17 > 0:04:19Mrs Tembe normally just squeezes me in.
0:04:19 > 0:04:22Right. We are very busy today, so what's your visit about?
0:04:22 > 0:04:24I don't think I want to go into that.
0:04:24 > 0:04:26It's just that there are no doctors free
0:04:26 > 0:04:31- so is it something a nurse could help with?- Hmm, possibly.
0:04:31 > 0:04:34And it would have to be a male nurse today.
0:04:34 > 0:04:36- Is he a young man?- Yes, early 20s.
0:04:36 > 0:04:38That would be perfect.
0:04:39 > 0:04:42It suits you to see a young, male nurse?
0:04:42 > 0:04:44I'll take a seat then, shall I?
0:04:44 > 0:04:46Of course.
0:04:46 > 0:04:49I'll call you when Nurse Reid is ready.
0:04:49 > 0:04:54I'm sorry, even for a routine prescription such as Cocodamol
0:04:54 > 0:04:57you'd need to see a doctor, or at least give us some advance notice.
0:04:57 > 0:04:59How bad have your headaches been?
0:04:59 > 0:05:02No worse than usual. I'll come back tomorrow.
0:05:02 > 0:05:06I know it seems petty for a repeat, but that's the rules, I'm afraid.
0:05:08 > 0:05:11Is there something else I can help you with?
0:05:11 > 0:05:15I've got a son, he's 14.
0:05:16 > 0:05:19- Sorry, this is very awkward for me. - Go on.
0:05:20 > 0:05:22It's something I need to speak to a man about,
0:05:22 > 0:05:27someone who remembers what it's like to be a teenager.
0:05:27 > 0:05:29Sadly, I think I can help with that.
0:05:29 > 0:05:31Go on.
0:05:32 > 0:05:34He won't let me touch him anymore.
0:05:39 > 0:05:42Ah. Now, that cut looks rather nasty.
0:05:42 > 0:05:44Would you mind telling me how you got it?
0:05:44 > 0:05:46I walked into a door.
0:05:46 > 0:05:48I wasn't born yesterday, Kim. I know you're being bullied.
0:05:48 > 0:05:50I want to know who did this.
0:05:50 > 0:05:54I slipped on something mum spilt and crashed into the door in the dark.
0:05:54 > 0:05:55Oh?
0:05:55 > 0:05:57She never turns on any lights.
0:05:57 > 0:05:59It's totally hazardous living with a blind mother.
0:06:02 > 0:06:04- Can I go to lunch now, Sister? - Yes.
0:06:11 > 0:06:13It sounds pretty normal to me.
0:06:13 > 0:06:17I was pretty shy about my body when I was a teenager.
0:06:17 > 0:06:18You don't understand.
0:06:18 > 0:06:22I raised him by touch, I fed him by touch,
0:06:22 > 0:06:24played games with him by touch.
0:06:24 > 0:06:26I even taught him to read Braille.
0:06:26 > 0:06:30Touch is how I navigate and communicate, and he knows that.
0:06:31 > 0:06:37- Right.- It's not about him being shy, it's about rejecting me.
0:06:37 > 0:06:40Maybe he's just asserting his boundaries.
0:06:40 > 0:06:41No.
0:06:41 > 0:06:44It's something more than that, I can feel it.
0:06:44 > 0:06:46If I didn't have a sixth sense,
0:06:46 > 0:06:49he'd have run rings around me ever since he was a toddler.
0:06:49 > 0:06:52Perhaps it's something medical I can't see.
0:06:52 > 0:06:54I've been reading about these teenagers
0:06:54 > 0:06:57- who start to sweat profusely. - That would be very unusual.
0:06:57 > 0:07:01Maybe he's got confused, thinks it's not right or something.
0:07:01 > 0:07:04That people might think it's strange me touching him.
0:07:04 > 0:07:06I don't know.
0:07:06 > 0:07:08It was just so sudden.
0:07:08 > 0:07:09And he hasn't said why?
0:07:09 > 0:07:13No, just that it was something he must do
0:07:13 > 0:07:15and that I've got to accept that.
0:07:15 > 0:07:18Has he got someone he can talk to?
0:07:18 > 0:07:21His father or his uncle?
0:07:21 > 0:07:23I would talk to our priest, he's always been a great comfort to me,
0:07:23 > 0:07:28but ever since that Dawkins fellow, Kim's declared himself an atheist.
0:07:28 > 0:07:31Is there a youth club or anything nearby?
0:07:31 > 0:07:33No.
0:07:33 > 0:07:34He's not a joiner.
0:07:35 > 0:07:40Actually, one of the Sisters tried to talk to me
0:07:40 > 0:07:41about Kim this morning.
0:07:41 > 0:07:42What did she have to say?
0:07:44 > 0:07:48I'm not sure, Kim doesn't like her so I didn't want to draw her out.
0:07:50 > 0:07:53I was probably quite rude.
0:07:53 > 0:07:57You see, it would have been disloyal to discuss him with her.
0:07:59 > 0:08:01Well, a nun probably isn't the best person to turn to
0:08:01 > 0:08:03for advice on teenage boys.
0:08:03 > 0:08:05That's why I have come to you.
0:08:05 > 0:08:08Have you got a minute?
0:08:08 > 0:08:09Sure.
0:08:09 > 0:08:13I need a repeat prescription for this patient, you saw her last.
0:08:13 > 0:08:15It's just Cocodamol for her headaches.
0:08:15 > 0:08:17Valerie couldn't fit her in with a doctor, so I said I'd help her out.
0:08:17 > 0:08:20- Is she still here? I could see her now.- No. She's left,
0:08:20 > 0:08:22she was in a hurry. I said I'd drop it round later.
0:08:22 > 0:08:24- Mum, it's just painkiller. - I could call her.
0:08:24 > 0:08:27Mum, it's just a run of the mill prescription -
0:08:27 > 0:08:30- hand it over, will you? - No, I won't.
0:08:30 > 0:08:32And would you speak to another doctor like that?
0:08:32 > 0:08:34No. Sorry.
0:08:36 > 0:08:39It's potentially addictive.
0:08:39 > 0:08:42It's not that long since her last prescription.
0:08:42 > 0:08:44The headaches, they could be increasing in intensity,
0:08:44 > 0:08:46or they might be a symptom of something else.
0:08:46 > 0:08:48You don't think I asked her that?
0:08:49 > 0:08:53HE SIGHS OK. Look, it's just a ruse.
0:08:53 > 0:08:55She doesn't need a prescription, she just wants me to go round
0:08:55 > 0:08:57to talk to her 14-year-old son.
0:08:57 > 0:08:59I was going to pop by with this this evening as an excuse.
0:08:59 > 0:09:02- What's wrong with the son? - You don't need to know that, Mum.
0:09:02 > 0:09:05- Well, I'm not happy about it. - Just trust my judgment, please?
0:09:05 > 0:09:09All right, if you let me buy you lunch.
0:09:10 > 0:09:12Deal.
0:09:25 > 0:09:26Stop!
0:09:35 > 0:09:38I'll have the chicken, please, the special.
0:09:38 > 0:09:39Are you not having a starter?
0:09:39 > 0:09:44OK. I'll have the rocket salad to start.
0:09:44 > 0:09:46And I'll have a glass of the house red, please.
0:09:46 > 0:09:48- Would you like one? - Not for me.
0:09:50 > 0:09:51Wine at lunch?
0:09:51 > 0:09:53We're celebrating.
0:09:53 > 0:09:55Everyone's been saying how well you're settling in.
0:09:55 > 0:09:57You've done really well.
0:09:57 > 0:09:59Great.
0:09:59 > 0:10:02- And?- Nothing.
0:10:02 > 0:10:06Except you could tell me why you are visiting one of my patients.
0:10:06 > 0:10:11I do have first-hand experience of difficult 14-year-olds, you know.
0:10:11 > 0:10:12Especially sulky ones.
0:10:12 > 0:10:16As far as I can remember, you weren't around much when I was 14.
0:10:16 > 0:10:22What was it that French feminist said, Bad-something, Badinter?
0:10:22 > 0:10:27"Mothers can't win, they are always either too present or too absent."
0:10:27 > 0:10:32That's so true - too present or too absent.
0:10:32 > 0:10:35Sometimes I feel like I am walking on a tightrope with you.
0:10:38 > 0:10:40Why did the tightrope walker enter the bank?
0:10:41 > 0:10:43I thought you'd grown out of these.
0:10:43 > 0:10:45He wanted to check his balance.
0:10:45 > 0:10:47SHE LAUGHS
0:10:50 > 0:10:52Have you changed?
0:10:52 > 0:10:54I managed to get lunch all over my top.
0:10:54 > 0:10:57- New trousers? - Well, they didn't match.
0:10:57 > 0:10:59Aran's decided to meet up then?
0:10:59 > 0:11:02Yeah. I don't know what we are going to talk about.
0:11:02 > 0:11:05I made up some story about loose ends.
0:11:05 > 0:11:06What do you want to talk about?
0:11:08 > 0:11:10Women are weird.
0:11:19 > 0:11:22Can you remember who designed St Paul's?
0:11:22 > 0:11:24- Christopher Wren.- Thanks.
0:11:25 > 0:11:28- Do you need a lift? - No, I'll walk.
0:11:28 > 0:11:31The Feldmans are in Sutton Verney, it's a long walk.
0:11:31 > 0:11:34- It'll only take me half an hour. - Suit yourself.
0:11:34 > 0:11:36Haven't you got training tonight?
0:11:42 > 0:11:46- Thanks. See you at home. - Don't you want me to come in?
0:11:46 > 0:11:50- What? I'm very good with people! - And I'm not?
0:11:50 > 0:11:51I didn't mean it like that.
0:11:51 > 0:11:54- Mum, she came to me for help, not you.- I know, but...
0:11:54 > 0:11:56This is impossible.
0:11:56 > 0:11:59Are you going to poke your nose into all my patients' business?
0:11:59 > 0:12:03Remember your French lady? "Too present"!
0:12:03 > 0:12:04Don't wait, OK?
0:12:12 > 0:12:14DOORBELL RINGS
0:12:14 > 0:12:16Can you get that for me, darling?
0:12:16 > 0:12:20Mum, it'll just be someone offering double glazing again.
0:12:20 > 0:12:21Please?
0:12:40 > 0:12:42Hi. I'm from The Mill Health Centre,
0:12:42 > 0:12:44I've come to drop off your mother's prescription.
0:12:44 > 0:12:48- Oh, OK. - You must be Kim. Is your mother in?
0:12:48 > 0:12:50- Yeah.- Can I come in?
0:12:55 > 0:12:57That's a nasty cut you've got there, mate.
0:12:57 > 0:12:59Has anyone taken a look at that for you?
0:12:59 > 0:13:02- A cut? How did you get a cut? - Playing rugby.
0:13:02 > 0:13:04You hate rugby. Were you in a fight?
0:13:04 > 0:13:06It's nothing, I'm fine.
0:13:06 > 0:13:10Is this why you wouldn't let me touch you? What was the fight about?
0:13:10 > 0:13:12They were teasing me about you, of course - my blind,
0:13:12 > 0:13:15religious nutter of a mother who still walks me to school!
0:13:15 > 0:13:17Hey, calm down.
0:13:17 > 0:13:20Why don't I take a look at that cut? Cos that needs a proper dressing.
0:13:20 > 0:13:23Mrs Feldman, do you mind if we use your kitchen?
0:13:35 > 0:13:36Shall we sit?
0:13:36 > 0:13:39No. Let's just get a drink at the bar, yeah?
0:13:39 > 0:13:42- Sorry, I'm starving.- OK.
0:13:49 > 0:13:51Are you really being bullied because of your mum?
0:13:54 > 0:13:56Being different is nothing to be ashamed of.
0:13:56 > 0:13:58You mean, being gay?
0:13:58 > 0:14:00Maybe.
0:14:00 > 0:14:02I'm not gay.
0:14:02 > 0:14:05Although... I don't think I am.
0:14:05 > 0:14:09I certainly don't fancy any of those numpties at school.
0:14:09 > 0:14:10But you are being bullied by them?
0:14:12 > 0:14:14They caught me shopping for girl's clothing.
0:14:14 > 0:14:18I tried to say they were for Mum, but no-one believed me.
0:14:18 > 0:14:19She dresses like a nun.
0:14:21 > 0:14:23Your mum's worried about you.
0:14:23 > 0:14:26If she was that worried about me, she'd let me change schools.
0:14:26 > 0:14:28Have you told her why you want to change?
0:14:28 > 0:14:31I can't talk to her about this stuff.
0:14:31 > 0:14:33She's been brainwashed by the church.
0:14:33 > 0:14:36She's always talking about "unnatural" behaviour.
0:14:36 > 0:14:38She'd think I'd gone to the devil.
0:14:38 > 0:14:41She doesn't know the difference between cross-dressing
0:14:41 > 0:14:44and S&M bondage - it's all the same to her.
0:14:44 > 0:14:49You could explain it, mate. She's probably just frightened.
0:14:49 > 0:14:54People hold onto these prejudices they think they believe in,
0:14:54 > 0:14:57then someone important challenges them
0:14:57 > 0:14:59and they realise they don't really care.
0:15:00 > 0:15:03Not my mum, the church is her whole world.
0:15:03 > 0:15:07No. Sorry, mate, I don't think that's true.
0:15:07 > 0:15:10DOORBELL RINGS You're her whole world.
0:15:11 > 0:15:14And how's your sister?
0:15:14 > 0:15:16You're going to ask about my cousins next.
0:15:17 > 0:15:21Cut the small talk, Jas, what do you have to say?
0:15:21 > 0:15:23OK...
0:15:25 > 0:15:30The night before the wedding, I think I made a mistake.
0:15:30 > 0:15:31Mistake?
0:15:31 > 0:15:35You completely turned on the idea of getting married.
0:15:35 > 0:15:39You said the statistics were against us - there we no guarantees.
0:15:39 > 0:15:42Two of my colleagues have just split up in spectacular fashion.
0:15:44 > 0:15:46But you said you weren't even sure you loved me.
0:15:46 > 0:15:48It was just cold feet.
0:15:49 > 0:15:52I didn't expect you to cancel the wedding.
0:15:52 > 0:15:54What was I supposed to do?
0:15:54 > 0:15:59It's one thing to be a realist and say you might not always love me -
0:15:59 > 0:16:02though what the vows are there for I don't know - but to say you weren't
0:16:02 > 0:16:06even sure you loved me there and then, the night before the wedding?
0:16:06 > 0:16:07Of course I had to cancel it.
0:16:10 > 0:16:16Here he is! Kim, Sister Vincent claims that you've been shoplifting.
0:16:16 > 0:16:18I suspect there's been some kind of misunderstanding.
0:16:18 > 0:16:20Have those bullies been forcing you?
0:16:20 > 0:16:23Look at his injury, Sister, see what they've done to him.
0:16:23 > 0:16:24Yes. I suspected he was being bullied,
0:16:24 > 0:16:26that's why I followed him from school.
0:16:26 > 0:16:28- You were spying on me? - Kim...
0:16:28 > 0:16:31This is Chris, he's a nurse from The Mill Health Centre,
0:16:31 > 0:16:34he'll tell you the problem's bullying - not shoplifting.
0:16:34 > 0:16:37Kim, tell Sister Vincent what's been going on.
0:16:37 > 0:16:41- What on earth are you wearing, boy? - What's that got to do with anything?
0:16:41 > 0:16:44If it was just shoplifting, I could probably believe it.
0:16:44 > 0:16:47Children do all sorts of silly things - testing the boundaries.
0:16:47 > 0:16:50But wearing women's clothes?
0:16:50 > 0:16:53Congratulations, Mum, you've finally got with the program.
0:16:53 > 0:16:55Your son's a cross-dressing freak,
0:16:55 > 0:16:57and what are you going to do about it?
0:16:57 > 0:17:00That'll be a challenge for you and your medieval cult.
0:17:00 > 0:17:01Watch your language.
0:17:01 > 0:17:05Are you going to burn me at the stake? Excommunicate me?
0:17:05 > 0:17:06Exorcise me?
0:17:07 > 0:17:08Kim!
0:17:10 > 0:17:11I'll go after him.
0:17:21 > 0:17:23What are you still doing here?
0:17:23 > 0:17:26He ran off towards the park. Did I see a nun go in?
0:17:26 > 0:17:28Yes, she didn't help. His mum just slapped him.
0:17:28 > 0:17:31- Why?- The kid's been cross dressing at home,
0:17:31 > 0:17:34refusing to let his mum touch him so she wouldn't find out.
0:17:34 > 0:17:36This nun turns up, starts accusing him of shoplifting.
0:17:36 > 0:17:38The poor woman doesn't know what's going on,
0:17:38 > 0:17:40and it all got a little out of control.
0:17:42 > 0:17:44Will you go in there,
0:17:44 > 0:17:47try and get this nun to back off the judgemental stuff?
0:17:48 > 0:17:50Work your charm?
0:17:50 > 0:17:52I'm not sure I know how to charm a nun.
0:17:58 > 0:18:02I've been thinking about our traditions,
0:18:02 > 0:18:03the Maiya, the confinement.
0:18:03 > 0:18:07I know the whole not changing clothes for days is a bit much,
0:18:07 > 0:18:13but I can see the sense in being separated before the big day now.
0:18:13 > 0:18:16Most cultures have some sort of custom to keep the bride
0:18:16 > 0:18:17and groom apart,
0:18:17 > 0:18:21maybe it's so you that can't talk each other out of it?
0:18:21 > 0:18:25So now you are saying we should have listened to our parents?
0:18:25 > 0:18:27Yeah.
0:18:27 > 0:18:29BOTH LAUGH
0:18:31 > 0:18:32Don't worry.
0:18:32 > 0:18:36Hello? Sorry to barge in, it's Dr Reid.
0:18:36 > 0:18:38The door was wide open.
0:18:38 > 0:18:42I gave a lift to my colleague and he thought I might be able to help.
0:18:42 > 0:18:44How are you, Patricia?
0:18:44 > 0:18:50I'm OK, Doctor. Um, Sister Vincent, this is my doctor.
0:18:50 > 0:18:54Emma, please, I'm not on duty. Shall we sit?
0:19:14 > 0:19:17Chris is out looking for your son now.
0:19:17 > 0:19:19Is it dark yet?
0:19:19 > 0:19:23No, not yet, but I'm sure he won't have got far.
0:19:25 > 0:19:28- I shouldn't have hit him. - You had good reason.
0:19:30 > 0:19:36I just felt so stupid, everyone else knowing what he was wearing,
0:19:36 > 0:19:38and I was completely oblivious.
0:19:38 > 0:19:42Mother's are the last to know about everything.
0:19:42 > 0:19:44I felt humiliated.
0:19:44 > 0:19:47Well, he's the one who should have felt humiliated.
0:19:47 > 0:19:49I'm thankful you didn't see it, Patricia.
0:19:49 > 0:19:51He had a sparkly dress on.
0:19:51 > 0:19:54Dressing up is a valid form of self-expression -
0:19:54 > 0:19:56wouldn't you say, Sister?
0:19:57 > 0:20:02I remember my son desperately asking me for a Barbie doll one Christmas.
0:20:02 > 0:20:03Did he turn out to be...?
0:20:04 > 0:20:09No, but it wouldn't have mattered if he had - he's my son.
0:20:09 > 0:20:12Don't worry, Patricia, he'll grow out of it.
0:20:12 > 0:20:15He hasn't had the guidance he's needed.
0:20:15 > 0:20:16What do you mean?
0:20:16 > 0:20:18We need to get him back in the church.
0:20:18 > 0:20:20One of the fathers will take him under their wing.
0:20:20 > 0:20:25I've involved that young male nurse, and I'd rather he helped Kim.
0:20:25 > 0:20:29Father O'Brien specialises in these matters.
0:20:29 > 0:20:35Father O'Brien is a good priest...but he's not right for Kim.
0:20:35 > 0:20:38I think you should trust our judgement on these matters.
0:20:38 > 0:20:42Chris is a very capable professional, I'm sure he can help.
0:20:42 > 0:20:45So you think it's a medical, not spiritual matter?
0:20:46 > 0:20:49I think it's a private matter, one for Patricia
0:20:49 > 0:20:51and Kim to work through as they see fit.
0:20:53 > 0:20:55I shouldn't have taunted her like that,
0:20:55 > 0:20:57I'm worse than those bullies.
0:20:57 > 0:21:01I think you both felt under attack, and that sister didn't help.
0:21:03 > 0:21:07Poor Mum, it'll be all around the parish by tomorrow.
0:21:07 > 0:21:09A priest will be knocking on the door in the morning,
0:21:09 > 0:21:11trying to get me into confession,
0:21:11 > 0:21:14though I'm not sure wearing a dress is actually a sin.
0:21:15 > 0:21:17Well, the priest wears one, doesn't he?
0:21:26 > 0:21:29She'll be so ashamed.
0:21:29 > 0:21:32People have survived much bigger scandals.
0:21:34 > 0:21:36Your mum seems to have lived a pretty sheltered life?
0:21:36 > 0:21:39Cloistered is the word.
0:21:39 > 0:21:43Maybe the church has been a safe place for her in the past,
0:21:43 > 0:21:48but I know that now, she'd rather be challenged than lose you.
0:21:49 > 0:21:51I dunno.
0:21:51 > 0:21:54Your mum asked me to come and speak to you,
0:21:54 > 0:21:58she wanted to find out why you weren't letting her touch you.
0:21:58 > 0:22:02I said it was pretty normal for your age
0:22:02 > 0:22:05and for her not to worry, but she sensed there was more to it.
0:22:07 > 0:22:12When I was a kid, she used to say she had a "special radar".
0:22:12 > 0:22:15It was really hard for her to ask a complete stranger for help.
0:22:15 > 0:22:19I know...but the way she thinks, she's not going to accept me.
0:22:19 > 0:22:22Trust me, she'll get used to it.
0:22:24 > 0:22:26You think she can handle it?
0:22:26 > 0:22:31Mothers don't really have a choice, mate.
0:22:31 > 0:22:33No matter how much you try and push them away,
0:22:33 > 0:22:38they'll still look after you, care about you,
0:22:38 > 0:22:41and try and be in every part of your life.
0:22:43 > 0:22:45They're hardwired for all that sort of stuff,
0:22:45 > 0:22:46whether they like it or not.
0:22:50 > 0:22:55The house was all decorated, my mum went around pulling down garlands,
0:22:55 > 0:22:58saying over and over again, "It felt like someone had died."
0:22:58 > 0:23:01My Dad wouldn't talk to me for over a month,
0:23:01 > 0:23:03it got so tense I had to go stay with Rosie.
0:23:03 > 0:23:07I think the hardest thing was, I couldn't explain it to them.
0:23:07 > 0:23:09I think it was just too humiliating to tell them it was
0:23:09 > 0:23:11cos you didn't love me anymore.
0:23:11 > 0:23:15- That's not true. - So I made up all sorts of excuses,
0:23:15 > 0:23:18in the hope they would latch onto one of them.
0:23:18 > 0:23:20What did you tell yours?
0:23:20 > 0:23:24The truth, that I was worried about the future,
0:23:24 > 0:23:25of not loving you always.
0:23:27 > 0:23:30Isn't that the same thing as not loving me enough?
0:23:30 > 0:23:32No, I don't think it is.
0:23:35 > 0:23:39The henna stayed on for over two weeks and, towards the end,
0:23:39 > 0:23:42I stopped washing my hands because I didn't want it to disappear.
0:23:45 > 0:23:47When the last bits wore off, I cried my heart out.
0:24:02 > 0:24:04I am so sorry I hit you.
0:24:04 > 0:24:06It's OK, Mum.
0:24:06 > 0:24:10What about the shoplifting? It is stealing.
0:24:10 > 0:24:12If you could leave the shop's details,
0:24:12 > 0:24:14we'll go and talk to them in the morning.
0:24:14 > 0:24:16If it wasn't for the school's standing in the community
0:24:16 > 0:24:18the police would already be involved.
0:24:18 > 0:24:21I had to work very hard to convince them...
0:24:21 > 0:24:24I bet you were more concerned about the school's reputation than mine.
0:24:24 > 0:24:27Kim! I'm sure Sister Vincent did her best, you should be grateful.
0:24:27 > 0:24:31Like I should be grateful to be at that archaic school on charity?
0:24:31 > 0:24:34Well, I'm not - and I'm not going back.
0:24:34 > 0:24:36You will do what you are told.
0:24:36 > 0:24:40He's been asking to leave for months, and now he's being bullied.
0:24:40 > 0:24:43Oh, nonsense, we'll sort that out in the morning.
0:24:43 > 0:24:46And then we'll go and see Father O'Brien, and he can give Kim
0:24:46 > 0:24:49guidance on...that other matter.
0:24:49 > 0:24:52And we'll meet in my office after roll call.
0:24:52 > 0:24:56No. I'm sorry, but we won't be there.
0:24:56 > 0:24:59All I have heard from you this evening has been disapproval,
0:24:59 > 0:25:01and that's not the right approach.
0:25:01 > 0:25:05- But we can cure him. - Of what? Who he is?
0:25:07 > 0:25:11Thank you all for your help, but it's getting very late.
0:25:11 > 0:25:14But, Patricia, we need to discuss this further.
0:25:14 > 0:25:19We can see ourselves out. Can I offer you a lift, Sister?
0:25:19 > 0:25:22There's no need, it's only a short walk... I'm not happy.
0:25:22 > 0:25:26Are you sure I can't offer you that lift, it's very nippy out?
0:25:26 > 0:25:28- Good night, Doctor.- Good night.
0:25:28 > 0:25:32- Goodnight, Sister Vincent. - Good night, Patricia, for now.
0:25:33 > 0:25:35That could do with a new dressing in a few days -
0:25:35 > 0:25:38- will you pop into the surgery? - Yeah, thanks.
0:25:44 > 0:25:46DOOR CLOSES
0:25:46 > 0:25:47I thought I was fooling you,
0:25:47 > 0:25:50but I should have remembered you had a "special radar".
0:25:56 > 0:26:00Tough customer, that penguin. You did well.
0:26:00 > 0:26:01I thought we made a good team.
0:26:03 > 0:26:06So you want a lift to training, then?
0:26:07 > 0:26:08OK.
0:26:14 > 0:26:16Thanks for coming.
0:26:18 > 0:26:23I... I know for sure now that I did make a mistake.
0:26:23 > 0:26:25Jas, don't.
0:26:25 > 0:26:28Nothing's changed, I still love you.
0:26:33 > 0:26:34I can't do this.
0:27:05 > 0:27:07You want me to grass on Tyrone?
0:27:07 > 0:27:09The bitch. How bad is she?
0:27:09 > 0:27:10The only options I can see is,
0:27:10 > 0:27:13they either make you full-time or they extend Emma's contract,
0:27:13 > 0:27:15so get onto Howard and sell yourself.
0:27:15 > 0:27:17I think perhaps we should reward experience.
0:27:17 > 0:27:19Well, it's a no-brainer.
0:27:19 > 0:27:24This morning, you owed me, but now, I owe you.
0:27:24 > 0:27:26You have to get over Cherry.
0:27:26 > 0:27:28I am.
