0:00:49 > 0:00:51NOISE CONTINUES
0:01:09 > 0:01:11- Who is she?- Who's who?
0:01:11 > 0:01:14Only one kind of text puts that look on a man's face.
0:01:14 > 0:01:16Really? How would you know?
0:01:17 > 0:01:19Boom! Back of the net, 1-0 Tyler.
0:01:32 > 0:01:35You forgot your "Doctor On Call" sign, didn't you?
0:01:35 > 0:01:38Been driving round looking for a free parking spot? You don't change.
0:01:38 > 0:01:40Change? How can you improve on perfection?
0:01:43 > 0:01:46So, long time no see. Where've you been hiding?
0:01:46 > 0:01:49Oh, here and there. New job treating you well?
0:01:49 > 0:01:52Yeah, it's all right. Couple more months
0:01:52 > 0:01:54and I'll have made myself indispensable.
0:01:54 > 0:01:55Already got the top brass in my pocket.
0:01:55 > 0:01:57So, how's things treating you?
0:01:57 > 0:02:00Oh, you know. Cruising down the IT speedway.
0:02:00 > 0:02:02I checked out the Mill's Support Network.
0:02:02 > 0:02:06They are desperately in need of an upgrade. I thought of you.
0:02:06 > 0:02:07Yeah. Yeah, maybe.
0:02:08 > 0:02:13Oh, hi. I'm going to go for a large gingerbread latte, please,
0:02:13 > 0:02:16with an extra caramel shot and I know that comes with shortbread,
0:02:16 > 0:02:19but can I also have a slice of that chocolate cake in the window.
0:02:19 > 0:02:21- Of course.- You?
0:02:21 > 0:02:23- I'm good, thanks.- Thank you.
0:02:23 > 0:02:25I see you're still eating for two.
0:02:25 > 0:02:27I'm a growing boy.
0:02:27 > 0:02:30- So, you don't like the sound of more work?- It's kind of...
0:02:32 > 0:02:34I've got something going on.
0:02:34 > 0:02:38Oh, really? A little...software thing, eh?
0:02:38 > 0:02:41- No wonder I haven't seen you. - I've been spending more time with Charlotte.
0:02:41 > 0:02:45Your sister Charlotte? The lovely, luscious Lottie.
0:02:45 > 0:02:48I always thought you had a bit of a thing for her. From a long way off.
0:02:48 > 0:02:51- I told you before - my binoculars are strictly for plane spotting - Yeah, yeah.
0:02:51 > 0:02:54Didn't she set up her own finance company or something?
0:02:54 > 0:02:56That must sting, knowing your sister
0:02:56 > 0:02:58- makes a fortune... - She's got breast cancer, mate.
0:02:59 > 0:03:03Oh. Oh, I'm sorry. That's rough.
0:03:04 > 0:03:05What's the prognosis?
0:03:05 > 0:03:07She's having pre-op chemo.
0:03:07 > 0:03:11Shrink the tumour, make surgery less invasive that's a good thing.
0:03:11 > 0:03:13Sounds like they've got a plan.
0:03:13 > 0:03:15Would you come and see her?
0:03:15 > 0:03:18She's been acting weird the last couple of days.
0:03:18 > 0:03:21Diagnosis? No can do.
0:03:21 > 0:03:24- OK, very funny.- No, no, no.
0:03:24 > 0:03:25She needs to see her consultant.
0:03:27 > 0:03:29WHALE NOISE
0:03:29 > 0:03:31Yes, all right. I'm getting them!
0:03:34 > 0:03:35Go back to the box.
0:03:35 > 0:03:37You've got more room in there.
0:03:45 > 0:03:49- You could play doctors with her legit, like you always wanted. - I can't. It's unprofessional.
0:03:49 > 0:03:51No-one would have to know.
0:03:51 > 0:03:53There are protocols. If the treatment...
0:03:53 > 0:03:56The oncologist said it's all going OK, but it's Lottie.
0:03:56 > 0:03:57She's not herself.
0:03:57 > 0:04:00She's always been a bit out there, hasn't she?
0:04:00 > 0:04:04- Remember when she used to do all that guerrilla gardening. - That was different.
0:04:04 > 0:04:07Having a serious illness changes people. I'm sorry, but..
0:04:07 > 0:04:09Have you ever known cancer
0:04:09 > 0:04:12make someone think they've got a whale in a cardboard box?
0:04:12 > 0:04:15In the living room? Yeah, a whole ocean in a box?
0:04:16 > 0:04:19And in that ocean lives a whale that eats Earl Grey teabags?
0:04:21 > 0:04:24- How long as this been going on? - A couple of days.
0:04:24 > 0:04:26I got the box down from the attic for her.
0:04:26 > 0:04:28It's got her Christmas decorations in it.
0:04:28 > 0:04:30Well, it did until Moby Dick moved in.
0:04:30 > 0:04:31Right.
0:04:33 > 0:04:34When can we see her?
0:04:37 > 0:04:41Come on, who is she? Where'd you meet her?
0:04:42 > 0:04:44Why are you keeping her to yourself?
0:04:44 > 0:04:47A gentleman does not discuss such matters.
0:04:47 > 0:04:50One, you're not a gentleman.
0:04:50 > 0:04:52Watch your manners, Frosty the Snowman.
0:04:52 > 0:04:55And two, does she have a sister? About my age?
0:04:55 > 0:04:57No, but she's got a half-brother.
0:05:00 > 0:05:01You're dating your sister?
0:05:03 > 0:05:05Dude, that's sick. Really.
0:05:06 > 0:05:09I see her most days. I've been making her meals.
0:05:09 > 0:05:11It gives me an excuse to keep an eye on things.
0:05:11 > 0:05:13Why haven't you been in touch with the hospital?
0:05:13 > 0:05:18She's got an appointment coming up, but she's refusing to leave the house before that. It's like...
0:05:19 > 0:05:21She's in denial?
0:05:21 > 0:05:23This whale's become more important.
0:05:23 > 0:05:27- She's even persuaded the Macmillan nurse she doesn't have to visit. - MOBILE RINGS
0:05:28 > 0:05:30All right, sis? Everything OK?
0:05:30 > 0:05:33I know you were going to come over this afternoon, but can we leave it?
0:05:33 > 0:05:36- Why? What's wrong? - Nothing, only I'm busy, that's all.
0:05:36 > 0:05:40It's the whale, it's taking up all my time.
0:05:40 > 0:05:42I'm sure it got into the bath last night.
0:05:42 > 0:05:44'How? How could it...? Never mind.'
0:05:44 > 0:05:47- I'm coming anyway. Have you eaten?- 'No!'
0:05:47 > 0:05:50I can see I'm going to have to be brutally honest -
0:05:50 > 0:05:52the whale doesn't like the sound of your voice.
0:05:52 > 0:05:55'You're making things...difficult.'
0:05:55 > 0:05:56I'm sorry.
0:05:59 > 0:06:02Def Con one, mate.
0:06:07 > 0:06:10Don't be spraying that in here. The Tembe will kick off.
0:06:10 > 0:06:12I wasn't going to.
0:06:12 > 0:06:15I want to hear more about this sister you've produced out of thin air.
0:06:15 > 0:06:19- Half-sister. And why is it surprising?- Because you're the epitome of an only child, like me.
0:06:20 > 0:06:21I thought I was an only kid.
0:06:21 > 0:06:24Only found out when she contacted me recently.
0:06:24 > 0:06:26But there's a half-brother, too.
0:06:34 > 0:06:37- What's got into you? - I forgot what your driving's like,
0:06:37 > 0:06:38on top of everything else.
0:06:38 > 0:06:40Stop being all...
0:06:40 > 0:06:42Maybe it's you I should be examining. Just chill out.
0:06:42 > 0:06:45Chill out? This is my sister.
0:06:45 > 0:06:47Wait till you see her.
0:06:47 > 0:06:50When did you first notice that her behaviour had changed?
0:06:50 > 0:06:52She started asking what whales eat.
0:06:52 > 0:06:55I thought she was looking at alternative therapies.
0:06:56 > 0:06:59She's going to die, isn't she? It's all linked in.
0:06:59 > 0:07:02Who's the doctor here? Go on, I need to see her.
0:07:02 > 0:07:04No, it's more cancer, I'm certain, I've checked.
0:07:04 > 0:07:06I read all the leaflets, went on the internet.
0:07:06 > 0:07:10Oh, yeah, cause the internet is the best place to diagnose your problems.
0:07:10 > 0:07:13Next time, try googling the words "I'm an idiot".
0:07:13 > 0:07:15Come on.
0:07:18 > 0:07:21Do you think you've missed out not growing up with them?
0:07:22 > 0:07:24I can't think like that.
0:07:25 > 0:07:28I would've liked a brother or sister.
0:07:28 > 0:07:31Less pressure on me, if nothing else.
0:07:31 > 0:07:33I liked having my mum to myself.
0:07:33 > 0:07:36That's probably cos she was there for you.
0:07:36 > 0:07:38I was an accessory to mine.
0:07:40 > 0:07:42We don't know any better as kids, though, do we?
0:07:42 > 0:07:44How different would things have been?
0:07:46 > 0:07:48You might not have become a doctor.
0:07:49 > 0:07:53Your mother might not have pushed you so hard if she had other kids.
0:07:54 > 0:07:57I'm thinking of getting her and Nadia together.
0:07:57 > 0:07:59I'm pretty confident they'll like each other.
0:08:01 > 0:08:03That's cool.
0:08:04 > 0:08:07Lottie? Come on, I'm getting worried.
0:08:09 > 0:08:10What if she's collapsed?
0:08:10 > 0:08:12- She could be lying there.- Nope.
0:08:12 > 0:08:13I saw movement up at the window.
0:08:13 > 0:08:16Come on, sis, let us in, it's freezing out here.
0:08:18 > 0:08:20It's no good, you'll have to break down the door.
0:08:20 > 0:08:23- Why me?- You're bigger. Come on, put some weight behind it.
0:08:23 > 0:08:25Budge up.
0:08:28 > 0:08:29Hello, Miss Croker?
0:08:29 > 0:08:31I'm from the RSPCA.
0:08:31 > 0:08:35We've had a report that you're keeping an endangered species.
0:08:35 > 0:08:37- Can I have a look?- Don't encourage her, what are you doing?
0:08:37 > 0:08:40It's all right Miss Croker, you're not in any trouble,
0:08:40 > 0:08:43it's just a routine visit to check on the animal's welfare.
0:08:45 > 0:08:47DOOR LOCK OPENS
0:08:53 > 0:08:55I told you, I haven't got time.
0:08:56 > 0:08:58- How've you been?- Busy.
0:08:58 > 0:09:00I said. Did you meet on the doorstep
0:09:00 > 0:09:02or was it you called him about the whale?
0:09:02 > 0:09:03I've been worried.
0:09:03 > 0:09:07I'm doing my best, it's not like looking after a hamster.
0:09:07 > 0:09:11- How do you fit a whole ocean in there?- Pff... I don't know.
0:09:12 > 0:09:14- What do you think? - Don't encourage her.
0:09:14 > 0:09:16What did I say? Keep your voice down.
0:09:17 > 0:09:20I think it moves round my central heating as well.
0:09:20 > 0:09:23How can a whale do that? How can anything?
0:09:23 > 0:09:27- Lottie, please, listen to yourself...- Shh!- Put the kettle on.
0:09:27 > 0:09:31The pipes keep knocking. It's his tail, hitting them as he swims.
0:09:31 > 0:09:33It's a boy? How do you know?
0:09:33 > 0:09:34Maybe it's a sperm whale.
0:09:35 > 0:09:39Right, so, it moves round the house through the heating,
0:09:39 > 0:09:41and then goes back to the ocean?
0:09:41 > 0:09:44He's looking for food. Earl Grey teabags.
0:09:44 > 0:09:46I feed him, and he seems fine, but...
0:09:46 > 0:09:48How did you find out what he eats?
0:09:48 > 0:09:50Mostly trial and error.
0:09:52 > 0:09:55One Milk, three sugars. Chop-chop.
0:09:56 > 0:09:58Oh, no. Nothing for me, thanks.
0:09:58 > 0:10:00Can I have a word?
0:10:02 > 0:10:03You're playing into her hands.
0:10:03 > 0:10:06I'm trying to find the level of her hallucination.
0:10:06 > 0:10:10Don't use the teapot, Eddie. The whale gets in there sometimes.
0:10:11 > 0:10:13I should have called an ambulance,
0:10:13 > 0:10:15got her to hospital soon as I thought something was wrong.
0:10:15 > 0:10:17But you called me.
0:10:17 > 0:10:19Get the teabags. It's that cupboard.
0:10:22 > 0:10:24Whoa.
0:10:24 > 0:10:25The plot thickens.
0:10:27 > 0:10:30They're going to section her, aren't they? It's gone too far.
0:10:30 > 0:10:35You, stay in here, get a grip. This judging is not helping.
0:10:40 > 0:10:42He gets in the teapot, you say?
0:10:42 > 0:10:45He's a ten ton whale, he goes where he wants.
0:10:45 > 0:10:47The bath, the radiators... I can't stop him.
0:10:48 > 0:10:51You're not really from the RSPCA, are you?
0:10:51 > 0:10:52What makes you say that?
0:10:52 > 0:10:54They wear a uniform.
0:10:54 > 0:10:56Ah, you got me.
0:10:56 > 0:10:58I think you're from Greenpeace.
0:10:58 > 0:11:01Yeah. Yeah, that's it. (I'm undercover.)
0:11:01 > 0:11:05So, do you have gas central heating?
0:11:05 > 0:11:08- Why?- Well, I'm just as concerned for your welfare
0:11:08 > 0:11:09as I am for the whale.
0:11:10 > 0:11:12- Where's your boiler? - In the kitchen.
0:11:12 > 0:11:15Are you going to free him?
0:11:15 > 0:11:16Would it worry you if I did?
0:11:18 > 0:11:22I've done my best, but I think he needs more than I can give.
0:11:22 > 0:11:24How will you take him?
0:11:24 > 0:11:25- Well...- Oh, no, no, no. Don't.
0:11:25 > 0:11:30He comes to the surface and I end up with water everywhere.
0:11:30 > 0:11:33The salt's ruining the carpet.
0:11:33 > 0:11:34Smells new.
0:11:34 > 0:11:36A bit chemically.
0:11:36 > 0:11:38I've had it stain guarded, thankfully.
0:11:38 > 0:11:41You'll have to move the box with the whale in it, won't you?
0:11:41 > 0:11:43You might need a crane.
0:11:43 > 0:11:45I hadn't thought about that.
0:11:45 > 0:11:48You're not very bright, are you?
0:11:48 > 0:11:50It's got a whole ocean in it.
0:11:50 > 0:11:51A crane it is, then.
0:11:51 > 0:11:54But don't knock a hole in the wall because I've redecorated.
0:11:56 > 0:11:57How do you think it got in here?
0:11:59 > 0:12:01You've really given me a poser, haven't you?
0:12:02 > 0:12:05JAZZ PLAYS
0:12:07 > 0:12:08A watched pot...
0:12:08 > 0:12:09What?
0:12:09 > 0:12:12You've definitely ramped things up with Nadia the last few days.
0:12:12 > 0:12:15Remind me again who gave me her number,
0:12:15 > 0:12:16just in case I'd want to use it?
0:12:16 > 0:12:19Use it? Looks like you've worn it out.
0:12:19 > 0:12:21I'm not sorry you did.
0:12:21 > 0:12:23- Have you asked her about your father yet?- No,
0:12:23 > 0:12:26I'm only just getting to know her.
0:12:26 > 0:12:29It's like I've found a big gap in my life I didn't know existed.
0:12:29 > 0:12:31She just stepped into it?
0:12:31 > 0:12:33Is that so wrong?
0:12:33 > 0:12:37No, but I just think you should take things a little bit more slowly.
0:12:37 > 0:12:39Give yourself time to get used to it.
0:12:43 > 0:12:46- Pass the teabags. It's feeding time again.- How's it going?
0:12:46 > 0:12:49She's completely committed to the illusion. It's incredible.
0:12:49 > 0:12:52Yeah, great, wonderful. Can you do anything?
0:12:52 > 0:12:56How's she been responding to treatment? Any side effects?
0:12:56 > 0:12:58Some hair loss, sickness, tired.
0:12:58 > 0:13:00Anything she might have been given morphine for?
0:13:00 > 0:13:02She had it a few times she stopped taking it.
0:13:02 > 0:13:05Said it made everything taste bad. Is that it?
0:13:05 > 0:13:08Right, that's fine, the detector's fine.
0:13:08 > 0:13:09It's not carbon monoxide poisoning.
0:13:11 > 0:13:13One, two, three, four...
0:13:15 > 0:13:18Lottie, how much wine do you drink?
0:13:18 > 0:13:19What? Does it matter?
0:13:19 > 0:13:22Can you not be drunk and in charge of a whale?
0:13:22 > 0:13:24There's a lot of empty bottles.
0:13:24 > 0:13:27- Is that what's wrong?- Doubtful.
0:13:27 > 0:13:29Alcohol withdrawal can lead to hallucinations,
0:13:29 > 0:13:33but you got to drink a lot, for a long time, and then stop dead.
0:13:33 > 0:13:36Then stop messing around in the box!
0:13:36 > 0:13:39Think, think, think.
0:13:39 > 0:13:42It is more cancer, isn't it?
0:13:42 > 0:13:45- I can't rule out cerebral metastases yet.- What's that?
0:13:46 > 0:13:48Come on, Al. Don't stop being blunt now.
0:13:48 > 0:13:51- Brain tumour.- I knew it.
0:13:51 > 0:13:54Yeah, cos you read it on the internet. Just rein it in.
0:13:54 > 0:13:56- It could be something else.- Like?
0:13:56 > 0:13:58Come on, give me something here, mate.
0:13:59 > 0:14:02I don't know, metabolic problems, something to do with liver function,
0:14:02 > 0:14:06which brings us back to the alcohol. I don't know what it is, I can't see.
0:14:06 > 0:14:10- Metabolic?- You said you cook for her? Regular menu?
0:14:10 > 0:14:11Every day, nearly. Fresh ingredients.
0:14:11 > 0:14:14I follow the hospital guidelines for chemo patients.
0:14:14 > 0:14:15Is this my fault?
0:14:15 > 0:14:17Yeah, it's all about you.
0:14:17 > 0:14:20Do you talk to everyone like this? No wonder you're single.
0:14:20 > 0:14:21So are you! What's your excuse?
0:14:21 > 0:14:24I don't know what it is.
0:14:25 > 0:14:26Wait a minute.
0:14:26 > 0:14:30You said she'd stopped seeing the Macmillan nurse. Why?
0:14:30 > 0:14:32She said she was feeling better.
0:14:32 > 0:14:35When was the last time she actually spoke about being ill?
0:14:35 > 0:14:36I don't know.
0:14:36 > 0:14:38When was it? Think!
0:14:38 > 0:14:40I must be mad, letting you loose on her.
0:14:40 > 0:14:41Why are you doing this?
0:14:41 > 0:14:44Because you asked me to. There could be something else.
0:14:44 > 0:14:47It spouted again. You said you'd get the teabags.
0:14:47 > 0:14:50- Can't you hear the whale calling for them?!- No, we can't.
0:14:50 > 0:14:51And neither can you!
0:14:54 > 0:14:57Do you remember how many times you fed the whale yesterday?
0:14:57 > 0:15:00Yes, of course. I, um...
0:15:00 > 0:15:05Twice in the morning, then I went out to lunch...with a client and...
0:15:05 > 0:15:08You had lunch here, Lottie, remember?
0:15:08 > 0:15:11Maybe you got mixed up. Did you have treatment yesterday?
0:15:11 > 0:15:14Treatment? What does he mean? What would I need treatment for?
0:15:14 > 0:15:17Well, your brother said you've not been feeling well.
0:15:17 > 0:15:19Yeah, I had some mouth ulcers...
0:15:19 > 0:15:22OK, Miss Croker, we're going to sort this out.
0:15:22 > 0:15:24- We're going to get you down to the rescue centre.- What for?
0:15:24 > 0:15:26Well, so you can sign some forms
0:15:26 > 0:15:29and officially hand over the whale to my care. You know, make it legal.
0:15:29 > 0:15:32Well, you can't own a whale. It's not like a car.
0:15:32 > 0:15:35- I don't understand...- No, no, no! No worries, sis, I'll come with you.
0:15:35 > 0:15:37Why don't you go and get your coat?
0:15:37 > 0:15:39AL DIALS A NUMBER
0:15:43 > 0:15:45You're making her worse.
0:15:45 > 0:15:48Yeah, this is Dr Haskey from the Mill Health Centre.
0:15:48 > 0:15:52Can I have an ambulance, please, to 36 Weldon Road?
0:15:52 > 0:15:55If I'm right, we need to get her treatment as soon as possible.
0:15:55 > 0:15:57How serious is it?
0:15:57 > 0:15:59Yes, Oncology Department, please.
0:16:01 > 0:16:05All I'm saying is a dishwasher is for washing dishes, not for storing them.
0:16:05 > 0:16:07- Thanks.- Thank you.
0:16:07 > 0:16:10A place for everything and everything in its place, eh?
0:16:10 > 0:16:14- Yeah, I can never find anything. - In my kitchen? Funny, cos I can.
0:16:14 > 0:16:16If you're going to get all alpha male over it...
0:16:16 > 0:16:19Why do you think I should take things more slowly, then?
0:16:19 > 0:16:20Swift change of subject.
0:16:23 > 0:16:26How many times have you jumped in feet first and then regretted it?
0:16:26 > 0:16:28This is different. She's not a girlfriend.
0:16:28 > 0:16:32Agreed. This is a way bigger deal. You can't just easily walk away.
0:16:32 > 0:16:36You make it sound like things are already going wrong.
0:16:36 > 0:16:39- I don't mean to, but...- But?
0:16:39 > 0:16:42I keep thinking, why has she got in touch?
0:16:42 > 0:16:44Because she wants to get to know me?
0:16:44 > 0:16:46Yeah, but why now?
0:16:46 > 0:16:48She's only just found out I exist.
0:16:48 > 0:16:51She's really strong on family, it's important for her.
0:16:51 > 0:16:54She was really determined to make this happen.
0:16:54 > 0:16:56And she would be if she'd known about me before now.
0:17:04 > 0:17:07This doesn't really look much like an animal shelter.
0:17:07 > 0:17:09Where's the paperwork?
0:17:09 > 0:17:11These people will look after all that.
0:17:11 > 0:17:12But what about the whale?
0:17:12 > 0:17:14That won't be a problem any more.
0:17:16 > 0:17:18Well, I want to go with her.
0:17:18 > 0:17:20No, let them do the tests.
0:17:20 > 0:17:22What were you saying to the doctors?
0:17:22 > 0:17:26I was saying I thought it was Korsakoff's psychosis.
0:17:26 > 0:17:29- That's what they're checking for. - What is that?
0:17:29 > 0:17:32It's caused by a lack of the vitamin B1.
0:17:32 > 0:17:35It causes hallucinations, memory loss, personality change
0:17:35 > 0:17:38and the belief that the sufferer isn't ill.
0:17:38 > 0:17:40- So it's not a brain tumour? - Not a brain tumour.
0:17:40 > 0:17:42And it's not morphine addiction,
0:17:42 > 0:17:44it's not alcohol-related in this case.
0:17:44 > 0:17:48- It is Korsakoff's and it can be treated.- Well, how did she get it?
0:17:48 > 0:17:53Well, vitamin B deficiency can be a side effect of chemo.
0:17:53 > 0:17:55It was the way that she suddenly started acting
0:17:55 > 0:17:58like she didn't have cancer any more, that was the big giveaway.
0:17:58 > 0:18:01That was how I got it. He shoots, he scores.
0:18:01 > 0:18:03I was so sure it was more cancer.
0:18:03 > 0:18:06You've got tumours on the brain,
0:18:06 > 0:18:07which is ironic.
0:18:07 > 0:18:09You're crossing a line, mate.
0:18:09 > 0:18:11Am I?
0:18:11 > 0:18:13You came to me, fearing the worst,
0:18:13 > 0:18:16I took that away and, look at you, you're still worrying.
0:18:16 > 0:18:19Come on! High five for genius Dr Al!
0:18:19 > 0:18:22Do you have any idea what it's like, watching someone go through this,
0:18:22 > 0:18:24feeling so helpless?!
0:18:24 > 0:18:26- I see it every day. - Yeah, you SEE it.
0:18:26 > 0:18:29Oh, why am I even surprised that you're like this?
0:18:29 > 0:18:31I've put up with your big head for years.
0:18:31 > 0:18:34Lottie was just a problem to be solved, wasn't she?
0:18:34 > 0:18:36Look, the oncologist will confirm it,
0:18:36 > 0:18:40they'll modify her chemo and keep a closer eye on her from now on.
0:18:40 > 0:18:42She's still got cancer.
0:18:42 > 0:18:44You didn't change that.
0:18:44 > 0:18:47I'm sorry, but a miracle will take me a little bit longer.
0:18:47 > 0:18:49Just...just go, will you? Go on, there...
0:18:49 > 0:18:51there must be a burger out there with your name on it.
0:18:51 > 0:18:55I gave up my whole day off for you and this is how I get treated?
0:18:55 > 0:19:00- You're ungrateful, you know that? - I'm afraid is what I am.
0:19:00 > 0:19:02Have you got a high five for that?
0:19:02 > 0:19:04You know, your bedside manner sucks, Haskey,
0:19:04 > 0:19:07and, without that, you're just a pill dispenser!
0:19:07 > 0:19:10Big surprise, you've got no friends!
0:19:10 > 0:19:13You're a crap excuse for a person, let alone a doctor!
0:19:18 > 0:19:20I'm thinking of inviting Nadia over tonight.
0:19:20 > 0:19:23Her husband's away on business, I thought she might like the company.
0:19:23 > 0:19:24So you want me out of the way?
0:19:24 > 0:19:27No, the opposite. It'll be more casual if you're there.
0:19:27 > 0:19:30- In other words, you want me to cook. - It's not all about you, you know.
0:19:30 > 0:19:33Don't tell me YOU'RE going to do it. This should be fun.
0:19:33 > 0:19:35I reckon I could have a bash at a chilli.
0:19:35 > 0:19:36Yeah, only if you want to poison her.
0:19:36 > 0:19:39You have to soak the kidney beans for a day before making it.
0:19:39 > 0:19:42- Book a restaurant.- No way! It's all office Christmas parties.
0:19:42 > 0:19:44I want a chance at a proper conversation,
0:19:44 > 0:19:47not be distracted by drunken birds flaying about
0:19:47 > 0:19:50- and waiters butting in!- So you agree with what I've been saying?
0:19:50 > 0:19:55- Take things slowly?- Yeah. I want to ask her about my half-brother too.
0:19:55 > 0:19:57- And your father?- No. Not him.
0:19:58 > 0:20:01You know that subject's going to be unavoidable soon, don't you?
0:20:01 > 0:20:03Nadia knows how I feel.
0:20:03 > 0:20:06Do you know how she feels, though?
0:20:06 > 0:20:08This is what I mean about not rushing.
0:20:23 > 0:20:25Sorry.
0:20:31 > 0:20:33MOBILE PHONE RINGS
0:20:40 > 0:20:43- Hi. - KEVIN: 'Hi, it's me.'
0:20:43 > 0:20:46Yeah, I know. That's the wonder of caller ID. How are you?
0:20:46 > 0:20:51I'm fine, um, I was just wondering if you'd like to meet up tonight?
0:20:51 > 0:20:55- Well...- At my house. Nothing fancy, my flatmate Jas will be there too.
0:20:55 > 0:20:57It's just, um...
0:20:57 > 0:21:01And I've managed to dig up some seriously numpty photos of me as a kid.
0:21:01 > 0:21:03I'd love to see them...
0:21:03 > 0:21:05You might even see a family resemblance.
0:21:05 > 0:21:10And...maybe I could meet up with Zarif as well, some time?
0:21:10 > 0:21:14Oh, I'd really love to do all of that, Kevin, but I can't tonight.
0:21:14 > 0:21:17- Right. Sure, no problem. - Friday's family day.
0:21:17 > 0:21:21- I mean... Not that I don't think you're...- It's OK, I understand.
0:21:23 > 0:21:25It's the way it's always been.
0:21:25 > 0:21:27All the men go to the mosque in the afternoon,
0:21:27 > 0:21:29- and then we all get together for a big meal.- I see.
0:21:29 > 0:21:32It's been a difficult tradition to keep recently, because...
0:21:32 > 0:21:36It's OK, you don't need to explain, um, we'll just do it some other night, perhaps.
0:21:36 > 0:21:39Yeah, definitely, definitely! And I'll bring photos too.
0:21:40 > 0:21:43- We took dad on a trip back to... - I've got to go. Bye.
0:21:47 > 0:21:49SHE SIGHS
0:21:55 > 0:21:57Lottie?
0:21:57 > 0:22:02- I've got your... - Oh, thanks...I think.
0:22:04 > 0:22:08- How are you feeling?- Um, I'm not sure... Tired, a bit confused.
0:22:09 > 0:22:13- Sorry, were you here before? - Oh, we met this morning.
0:22:13 > 0:22:16But...I... I know you, don't I?
0:22:16 > 0:22:20- Yeah, I'm a friend of your brother's.- Oh, yes!
0:22:20 > 0:22:23God, it's been ages. It is Mike? Mal?
0:22:23 > 0:22:24Al.
0:22:24 > 0:22:29You won't remember, but I used to come round your house after school.
0:22:29 > 0:22:31Me and Eddie had a computer club.
0:22:31 > 0:22:37That's you! All, um... All runny nose and chocolate bars?
0:22:37 > 0:22:38Ta-dah!
0:22:38 > 0:22:42And you're from, er... You're from Greenpeace, is it, or, um...?
0:22:42 > 0:22:46Oh, God, sorry. Sorry, I'm a bit confused.
0:22:46 > 0:22:49Oh, the last few days have been a bit of a blur.
0:22:49 > 0:22:51Actually, I'm a doctor now.
0:22:51 > 0:22:53- Oh, really?- Yeah.
0:22:54 > 0:22:58That...that, er... that thing with the whale.
0:22:58 > 0:23:01It's like I was dreaming. It's so weird.
0:23:01 > 0:23:03Yeah, it was strange, wasn't it?
0:23:04 > 0:23:07I wonder, why a whale in a box?
0:23:07 > 0:23:11Yeah, I've been thinking that since they explained.
0:23:11 > 0:23:14Is it like the elephant in the room?
0:23:14 > 0:23:15Could be.
0:23:15 > 0:23:18But then, why not a whale?
0:23:18 > 0:23:22Is it any more unbelievable than suddenly finding you've got cancer?
0:23:24 > 0:23:27I...I imagine that must feel like you've been hit for six.
0:23:27 > 0:23:29You feel you're supposed to be brave,
0:23:29 > 0:23:32and like get on with it and be an example to everybody.
0:23:33 > 0:23:36All I wanted to do was put my head under the duvet.
0:23:36 > 0:23:38But you were brave, Lottie.
0:23:38 > 0:23:40You were.
0:23:40 > 0:23:43You took on a whale in a box and you won...
0:23:49 > 0:23:51Thought I'd scrounge a lift home if you're ready?
0:23:51 > 0:23:54Sure. How about a Chinese on the way home? My shout.
0:23:54 > 0:23:58Oh, my hero! No cooking, no washing up. Set meal for three?
0:23:58 > 0:24:02If you want, piggy, but it'll only be the two of us.
0:24:02 > 0:24:04Lads' night in, eh?
0:24:04 > 0:24:07- OK. Come on, I'm starving. - You're getting the beers.- Oh!
0:24:11 > 0:24:15I didn't feel brave when they gave me the MRI,
0:24:15 > 0:24:18especially when they handed me the panic button.
0:24:18 > 0:24:20Did you stay in for the whole scan?
0:24:20 > 0:24:21Only just.
0:24:21 > 0:24:23Well, some people can't handle it.
0:24:23 > 0:24:26What, being put in that tiny space, with that noise?
0:24:28 > 0:24:29God, I felt trapped!
0:24:30 > 0:24:31All at sea?
0:24:34 > 0:24:36I cried.
0:24:38 > 0:24:40Almost the whole time.
0:24:43 > 0:24:45So, you "wailed" in that box?
0:24:47 > 0:24:49- Is that it?- What?
0:24:49 > 0:24:52Well, sometimes, our brain will play a trick on us,
0:24:52 > 0:24:56you know, like when we're asleep or we've got a fever.
0:24:56 > 0:24:57Yeah, that could be it.
0:24:57 > 0:25:00You could be the "wail" in the box.
0:25:00 > 0:25:04The W-A-I-L in the box.
0:25:06 > 0:25:10Yeah. That could be the cause of your hallucinations.
0:25:10 > 0:25:12SHE LAUGHS
0:25:16 > 0:25:20That is the worst diagnosis I've ever had!
0:25:22 > 0:25:25Yeah, it was absolute rubbish, wasn't it?
0:25:25 > 0:25:28Well, believe me, I can do a lot worse.
0:25:28 > 0:25:30Oh, stay a bit longer.
0:25:30 > 0:25:33Until Eddie gets back. I hate being here on my own.
0:25:36 > 0:25:37Eddie's a good man.
0:25:39 > 0:25:43You know, so whales are afraid of him, but no-one's perfect.
0:25:43 > 0:25:45Oh, he does his best,
0:25:45 > 0:25:49but I don't think he really knows what it's like going through this.
0:25:50 > 0:25:51I think he does.
0:25:53 > 0:25:54He just doesn't say.
0:25:57 > 0:25:59I'm going to stay as long as you need me.
0:26:10 > 0:26:12- Heston?- Esther?
0:26:12 > 0:26:15- Who is she?- An old acquaintance. It's just lunch.
0:26:15 > 0:26:18How dare you, Jimmi Clay! You don't think I'm capable
0:26:18 > 0:26:21of making the best card without doing somebody else down?
0:26:21 > 0:26:23- Draw!- Decoupage!
0:26:23 > 0:26:25Thank you, Heston.
0:26:25 > 0:26:27You would make a wonderful father.
0:26:27 > 0:26:30Why would you disrupt your peaceful life with a baby?
