0:00:31 > 0:00:33I think there's someone in there.

0:00:33 > 0:00:34They don't open till nine.

0:00:34 > 0:00:37Maybe we should've waited in the car.

0:00:37 > 0:00:39Do you want to wait in the car?

0:00:41 > 0:00:43I feel better here.

0:00:47 > 0:00:48We could go and get a coffee.

0:00:48 > 0:00:50No, I don't want to be late. We'll just wait.

0:00:54 > 0:00:55I'm so nervous, I could be sick.

0:00:57 > 0:00:59Do you want a hug or something?

0:00:59 > 0:01:01Yeah, go on then.

0:01:10 > 0:01:11Thanks.

0:01:17 > 0:01:21What a weekend! The neighbours had a pre-Christmas bash.

0:01:21 > 0:01:24I only went round for one and then suddenly it was Sunday.

0:01:24 > 0:01:26Oh, my head...

0:01:27 > 0:01:29Sorry Heston. Good morning. Nice weekend?

0:01:29 > 0:01:33Yes, thank you. Quiet. But nice.

0:01:34 > 0:01:37When do you want to discuss matters of the heart?

0:01:38 > 0:01:41Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease?

0:01:41 > 0:01:43Isn't there some briefing or other?

0:01:43 > 0:01:45Ah, yes, Excellence in COPD.

0:01:45 > 0:01:47We could do it at lunch, if you like?

0:01:47 > 0:01:49Doctor Carter, how romantic.

0:01:51 > 0:01:53That would be lovely. It's a date.

0:01:57 > 0:01:58PHONE RINGS

0:01:58 > 0:02:02Good morning, Mill Health Centre, how may I... Ange!

0:02:02 > 0:02:04Don't worry, I'm all set.

0:02:04 > 0:02:08I'm just getting some inspirational pieces together so...

0:02:11 > 0:02:15Oh... But it was your idea, I've paid for it now.

0:02:18 > 0:02:21Don't worry, I'll get somebody else to go with me.

0:02:22 > 0:02:23Bye.

0:02:26 > 0:02:27Kevin! How are you today?

0:02:27 > 0:02:29Fine.

0:02:29 > 0:02:33Would I be right in thinking you're on paperwork this afternoon?

0:02:33 > 0:02:37- Mmm.- How do you fancy doing some more creative paperwork instead?

0:02:37 > 0:02:41- Decoupage!- What's that?

0:02:41 > 0:02:44It's the art of decorating stuff with bits of paper.

0:02:44 > 0:02:47We're making Christmas cards. It's going to be brilliant.

0:02:47 > 0:02:50And for you, it's free. My mate let me down.

0:02:50 > 0:02:52Please?

0:02:52 > 0:02:54Sorry, I've got to get on.

0:02:54 > 0:02:55Are you OK?

0:02:55 > 0:03:00Yeah, yeah I'm fine. Enjoy your...whatsit.

0:03:01 > 0:03:03Decoupage.

0:03:06 > 0:03:08From what I can see, Tanya,

0:03:08 > 0:03:11there's no reason why you shouldn't conceive naturally.

0:03:11 > 0:03:14Oh. That's wonderful. Thank you, Doctor Carter.

0:03:14 > 0:03:18And, Craig, I wouldn't be unduly alarmed,

0:03:18 > 0:03:21but your sperm count is borderline.

0:03:22 > 0:03:24Oh.

0:03:24 > 0:03:27Oh. That's not so good.

0:03:32 > 0:03:35Chris, I'm sure your mum would love

0:03:35 > 0:03:38a Christmas card specially made by her only son.

0:03:38 > 0:03:41She'll just scribble a shopping list on the back of it

0:03:41 > 0:03:43- or use it as a coaster. - Make her a coaster.

0:03:43 > 0:03:45You can make loads of things with decoupage.

0:03:45 > 0:03:48I was sent to the headmaster's office when I was a kid

0:03:48 > 0:03:50for smashing up my papier mache penguin.

0:03:50 > 0:03:52I've vowed never to go near craft activities ever since.

0:03:52 > 0:03:55I didn't have you down as the violent type.

0:03:55 > 0:03:56With people, I'm fine.

0:03:56 > 0:04:00Give me some glue and some stupid little scraps of paper...

0:04:00 > 0:04:02Trust me, it would not be pretty.

0:04:03 > 0:04:05Mind out, I shall go on my own then.

0:04:06 > 0:04:08- I wouldn't mind coming.- Very funny.

0:04:08 > 0:04:10What is it a class or something?

0:04:10 > 0:04:14You are not interested in decoupage. Running? Cars? Yes.

0:04:14 > 0:04:16- Decoupage?- Why not?

0:04:16 > 0:04:18It's this afternoon, you're probably busy.

0:04:18 > 0:04:20Nope. Count me in.

0:04:20 > 0:04:22- SHE LAUGHS - You won't regret it.

0:04:22 > 0:04:25Have a look at those, then we can go and get our hands dirty.

0:04:25 > 0:04:27Not that dirty. Not dirty at all.

0:04:30 > 0:04:32It's going to be great, Jimmi.

0:04:34 > 0:04:37So it's just not going to happen for us two, together.

0:04:37 > 0:04:38It's too low.

0:04:38 > 0:04:41It's low. It's not necessarily too low.

0:04:41 > 0:04:44There are all sorts of options we can discuss now, if you like.

0:04:44 > 0:04:46That won't be necessary, thanks.

0:04:46 > 0:04:48Unless you want to stay and talk to him?

0:04:50 > 0:04:52Not now.

0:04:52 > 0:04:53There are no guarantees,

0:04:53 > 0:04:56I don't want you leaving feeling completely bleak.

0:04:56 > 0:04:58There are all sorts of possibilities.

0:04:58 > 0:05:01Thanks for your help. We'll get back to you, some time.

0:05:01 > 0:05:04At least let me give you some leaflets.

0:05:04 > 0:05:08- (Sorry.)- Forget about it.

0:05:08 > 0:05:11MOBILE RINGS

0:05:20 > 0:05:22Nadia, hi. I'm at work.

0:05:22 > 0:05:24'Hi, I know. I'm sorry.

0:05:24 > 0:05:26- 'I was going to leave a message.' - Go on.

0:05:26 > 0:05:28It's good news.

0:05:28 > 0:05:31Zarif wants to meet you for lunch, if you're free?

0:05:31 > 0:05:34- 'Your brother.'- Half-brother.

0:05:34 > 0:05:36'You said you wanted to meet him.'

0:05:36 > 0:05:39Sorry, can we take things more slowly?

0:05:39 > 0:05:41- VOICE IN BACKGROUND - 'Hold on a sec.'

0:05:41 > 0:05:44THEY SPEAK IN THEIR OWN LANGUAGE

0:05:44 > 0:05:46Is that him now?

0:05:48 > 0:05:49How are you fixed for today?

0:05:51 > 0:05:54Sorry. Can I call you back? I've got a patient.

0:06:02 > 0:06:05What's happened? Is everything all right?

0:06:05 > 0:06:07You forgot these.

0:06:07 > 0:06:08Cheers.

0:06:08 > 0:06:11Are you sure you don't want a follow-up appointment?

0:06:11 > 0:06:14- We'll leave it for now, thanks. - Heston?

0:06:14 > 0:06:15Esther?

0:06:15 > 0:06:19Somebody told me you'd given it all up to become a humble GP.

0:06:19 > 0:06:21I didn't believe them.

0:06:21 > 0:06:23What about you what brings you here?

0:06:23 > 0:06:26My friend lives in Letherbridge.

0:06:26 > 0:06:28So do I, mostly. I'm freelance.

0:06:28 > 0:06:31The odd lecture here, a little research project there.

0:06:31 > 0:06:33I've read your articles. No need to be humble.

0:06:33 > 0:06:35Come and find us when you've finished.

0:06:35 > 0:06:39We should catch up properly over lunch. Today?!

0:06:41 > 0:06:43I'll meet you here about two-ish?

0:06:43 > 0:06:46Ah, today could be...tricky.

0:06:55 > 0:06:56Are we early?

0:06:56 > 0:06:59The WI were meant to be coming but their bus broke down.

0:06:59 > 0:07:02The tutor's gone to see if she can drum up any extra support.

0:07:02 > 0:07:05I'm so sorry, Jimmi. We could just sneak off.

0:07:05 > 0:07:07No, we're here now. Might as well give it a go.

0:07:07 > 0:07:10Anyway, we'll have the pick of the materials. Oh.

0:07:12 > 0:07:15- No, I wanted that one. - You snooze, you lose!

0:07:22 > 0:07:23Might as well get my train.

0:07:23 > 0:07:26Doesn't look like I'm needed here any more.

0:07:28 > 0:07:32We could share a cab. The station's on my way.

0:07:32 > 0:07:34Do you want to go and get your bags?

0:07:38 > 0:07:41- On your way where? - I'm meeting Heston.

0:07:41 > 0:07:45Today? Don't you think I could do with some support?

0:07:45 > 0:07:47I won't be long.

0:07:47 > 0:07:50So you'd rather be with anyone else instead of spending time here with me?

0:07:50 > 0:07:54- Heston's not just anyone. - Have you slept with him?

0:07:54 > 0:07:58No, of course I haven't. He's gay, for a start.

0:07:58 > 0:08:00So are you, but it's never stopped you shopping around.

0:08:06 > 0:08:08That was before I met you, Tanya.

0:08:10 > 0:08:12When will you believe me on that?

0:08:12 > 0:08:15When you start telling people I'm your wife,

0:08:15 > 0:08:16not just your friend.

0:08:18 > 0:08:20Darling.

0:08:20 > 0:08:23That's what you get for marrying an old duffer like me.

0:08:23 > 0:08:25I'm set in my ways.

0:08:27 > 0:08:29But I will get there, I promise.

0:08:29 > 0:08:33Why don't you start now? Call him and cancel.

0:08:34 > 0:08:38It's only lunch. I'm not doing much good moping around here.

0:08:38 > 0:08:41- Moping?- That's not what I meant.

0:08:44 > 0:08:46I might do more good talking to Heston.

0:08:46 > 0:08:48Just go if you're going.

0:08:56 > 0:08:58Nice to see you've made an effort for me, Heston.

0:08:58 > 0:09:01Would you mind terribly if we postponed?

0:09:01 > 0:09:03Why. Have you had a better offer?

0:09:06 > 0:09:13Heston Carter, you fast mover. Who is she?

0:09:13 > 0:09:15An old acquaintance. It's just lunch.

0:09:15 > 0:09:17No, I was just lunch.

0:09:17 > 0:09:21And you've tossed me aside like a used sterile wipe.

0:09:21 > 0:09:23I think I deserve to have the full details.

0:09:23 > 0:09:27Professor Esther Carnegie. We knew each other years ago.

0:09:27 > 0:09:31Nothing like that, we were dedicated to our careers,

0:09:31 > 0:09:33it was purely platonic.

0:09:33 > 0:09:36- Was as in, might not be now? - She's wearing a wedding ring.

0:09:36 > 0:09:39- So you were checking her out then? - I was just a bit surprised.

0:09:39 > 0:09:41I thought she'd end up on her own.

0:09:41 > 0:09:43Not that there's anything wrong with her.

0:09:43 > 0:09:46It's just she's a bit like me.

0:09:46 > 0:09:49A wedding ring doesn't necessarily mean she's unavailable.

0:09:49 > 0:09:51I would never dream of doing anything...

0:09:51 > 0:09:55Oh, Heston, go and have lunch.

0:09:55 > 0:09:58And make sure you tell me everything when you get back.

0:10:03 > 0:10:05I like being freelance,

0:10:05 > 0:10:08but there comes a time when you have to settle down.

0:10:08 > 0:10:10How does your husband feel about that?

0:10:11 > 0:10:12My husband?

0:10:13 > 0:10:15I'm sorry, did he die?

0:10:17 > 0:10:21No, no, no, no, no, she's very much alive.

0:10:21 > 0:10:23She?

0:10:23 > 0:10:25My wife. Tanya.

0:10:27 > 0:10:30- My patient, Tanya? - We got married in the summer.

0:10:33 > 0:10:36Congratulations. I never knew that you...

0:10:36 > 0:10:39No, well, things were different in those days.

0:10:39 > 0:10:42As you well know. How about you?

0:10:42 > 0:10:45- Is there a man in your life? - A man?

0:10:47 > 0:10:50- Aren't you...?- What?

0:10:50 > 0:10:53Oh God. I'm sorry, Heston.

0:10:53 > 0:10:59It's just, you were so flamboyant. The cravats.

0:11:01 > 0:11:06Shall we start again? I'm Esther and I'm gay.

0:11:06 > 0:11:10How long has it taken me to say that out loud?

0:11:10 > 0:11:12I'm Heston and I'm straight. Most definitely.

0:11:12 > 0:11:16Eccentricities and sartorial elegance notwithstanding.

0:11:19 > 0:11:21So, is there a woman in your life?

0:11:21 > 0:11:23Just me and my work. No change there.

0:11:23 > 0:11:27You never wanted a family or kids?

0:11:27 > 0:11:30Well, I was married. She had a child, Stephen.

0:11:30 > 0:11:33I brought him up as my own, then they left and that was that.

0:11:36 > 0:11:38- You never hear from him? - Maybe a card at Christmas.

0:11:38 > 0:11:40That's a real shame.

0:11:40 > 0:11:44You would make a wonderful father.

0:11:44 > 0:11:46It's a bit late for that now.

0:11:46 > 0:11:48I don't know, Heston.

0:11:48 > 0:11:50It's not too late for me and Tanya.

0:11:52 > 0:11:55If we can find the right man to help us.

0:12:31 > 0:12:33Everything all right?

0:12:33 > 0:12:37Fine, thank you. Just taking a moment, for inspiration.

0:12:37 > 0:12:40You haven't seen my Christmas tree, have you?

0:12:40 > 0:12:42No.

0:12:43 > 0:12:46What's behind your back?

0:12:46 > 0:12:49You're not trying to sabotage me, are you?

0:12:49 > 0:12:50How dare you, Jimmi Clay?

0:12:50 > 0:12:53You don't think I'm capable of making the best card

0:12:53 > 0:12:55without doing somebody else down?

0:12:59 > 0:13:00HE LAUGHS

0:13:00 > 0:13:03Tanya was my student.

0:13:03 > 0:13:06And it really was her driving it all from the start.

0:13:06 > 0:13:09If it was down to me, I'd still be travelling the world,

0:13:09 > 0:13:12staying in hotels, and sleeping in the beds of strange women.

0:13:12 > 0:13:15- It doesn't sound too bad. - It's not.

0:13:15 > 0:13:17Until you get home to your own big empty bed

0:13:17 > 0:13:20and you realise that's it, all you've got to show.

0:13:22 > 0:13:25Sometimes, Heston, you've just got to go for it,

0:13:25 > 0:13:27throw caution to the wind.

0:13:27 > 0:13:30Not if it involves bringing a child into the world.

0:13:30 > 0:13:33This isn't a spur of the moment thing.

0:13:33 > 0:13:36Tanya's always wanted a baby.

0:13:36 > 0:13:38We've talked it through, we thought we had a plan.

0:13:38 > 0:13:42Her friend from school was willing to do the duties,

0:13:42 > 0:13:45but as you know, it wasn't to be.

0:13:45 > 0:13:46Not with Craig.

0:13:46 > 0:13:50I'd love to help. But this is too much.

0:13:51 > 0:13:55Don't answer now. Take your time, Heston.

0:13:56 > 0:13:58Please think about it.

0:14:14 > 0:14:16MOBILE RINGS

0:14:18 > 0:14:20Kevin, hi. Is everything all right?

0:14:20 > 0:14:23'Yeah, fine. Look, I've done some juggling,'

0:14:23 > 0:14:26and I think I can meet up with both of you later,

0:14:26 > 0:14:28'if that's still OK?'

0:14:28 > 0:14:30Later's good for us. Thank you, Kevin.

0:14:30 > 0:14:32HE SPEAKS IN HIS OWN LANGUAGE

0:14:32 > 0:14:34Zarif's really pleased too.

0:14:34 > 0:14:36Doesn't sound it.

0:14:36 > 0:14:38You'll understand when you meet him.

0:14:40 > 0:14:42I can't wait. See you soon.

0:14:45 > 0:14:47HESTON SIGHS

0:14:47 > 0:14:48What's holding you back?

0:14:48 > 0:14:51Knowing there's a child out there that I don't know

0:14:51 > 0:14:53would make me more lonely, not less.

0:14:54 > 0:14:55So you'd want more involvement?

0:14:55 > 0:14:58More like it was with Stephen?

0:14:58 > 0:15:00Well, I haven't thought about it.

0:15:01 > 0:15:04It could only be a good thing.

0:15:04 > 0:15:06The more people who care for our child...

0:15:06 > 0:15:07Our child?

0:15:08 > 0:15:10There was me thinking I was going on a date.

0:15:12 > 0:15:16So...if I'd been a few years younger,

0:15:16 > 0:15:19I could have taken you home to bed anyway and had your baby.

0:15:21 > 0:15:22How would you have felt about that?

0:15:24 > 0:15:26It wouldn't have been the end of the world, would it?

0:15:27 > 0:15:29Heston...

0:15:30 > 0:15:32..this could be your second chance.

0:15:35 > 0:15:37Maybe we should get the tutor to adjudicate.

0:15:37 > 0:15:40I don't think that's going to be necessary.

0:15:40 > 0:15:42I think it's going to be perfectly clear who the winner is.

0:15:44 > 0:15:45OK.

0:15:46 > 0:15:48On three, then.

0:15:50 > 0:15:54One...two...

0:15:54 > 0:15:57- three... Draw!- Decoupage!

0:15:57 > 0:15:58Ah!

0:15:58 > 0:16:01Your cruel tricks were in vain. Bow down to the master.

0:16:01 > 0:16:04I thought you said you hadn't done it before.

0:16:04 > 0:16:06I haven't. I wasn't bad at art in school, though.

0:16:06 > 0:16:09Which school? The flippin' Royal Academy?

0:16:09 > 0:16:12I haven't done anything like this since I was a kid.

0:16:12 > 0:16:15I only came because of this book I'm reading.

0:16:15 > 0:16:20It says I need to try more things. It's not easy.

0:16:20 > 0:16:21I'm sorry, Jimmi.

0:16:21 > 0:16:24I'm not really up for going out on the pull with all the lads.

0:16:24 > 0:16:27I'm not up to much at all, really.

0:16:27 > 0:16:30I thought I'd try small, you know. Bit of decoupage.

0:16:31 > 0:16:32It's really good.

0:16:33 > 0:16:35Keep it if you want. Give it to Immie.

0:16:35 > 0:16:37I don't have anyone to give it to.

0:16:42 > 0:16:44Thank you, Heston.

0:16:49 > 0:16:52Best not tell Tanya just yet.

0:16:59 > 0:17:01I'm back!

0:17:02 > 0:17:05Told you I wouldn't be long.

0:17:05 > 0:17:08Do you know, you would really like Heston.

0:17:08 > 0:17:10Away from work, I mean. He's...

0:17:10 > 0:17:13funny, he's intelligent, in pretty good nick.

0:17:13 > 0:17:15And he's not gay.

0:17:15 > 0:17:17You really are unbelievable.

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

0:17:23 > 0:17:26Have you been sitting here all this time?

0:17:26 > 0:17:29- Don't touch me.- Oh.- Just...don't.

0:17:30 > 0:17:32You wouldn't really do it, though, would you?

0:17:32 > 0:17:36It's not that different to how it was with Stephen. It'll be less messy.

0:17:36 > 0:17:38And I'll have a pre-defined role in his life.

0:17:38 > 0:17:40- His?- Or hers.

0:17:40 > 0:17:43Yes, but...this is a whole new person,

0:17:43 > 0:17:46who you would be responsible for for the rest of your life.

0:17:46 > 0:17:49Well, they'll be the primary parents and I'll chip in as and when.

0:17:49 > 0:17:52I know some people can stand back like that,

0:17:52 > 0:17:54but from what I know about you, Heston...

0:17:54 > 0:17:57Well, there are risks that have to be considered.

0:17:57 > 0:18:01Yes, but why would you disrupt your peaceful life with a baby?

0:18:01 > 0:18:03I feel I'm ready to give something back.

0:18:03 > 0:18:06Well, then, do some charity work in Africa, or run a marathon.

0:18:06 > 0:18:09Both of those are a hell of a lot easier than bringing up a child.

0:18:09 > 0:18:11I only said I'll think about it.

0:18:11 > 0:18:14As long as they haven't rushed out to buy the bootees.

0:18:14 > 0:18:16Don't go getting their hopes up.

0:18:16 > 0:18:19Esther has promised not to tell... er...

0:18:19 > 0:18:22- Have you just forgotten her wife's name?- Tanya! Tanya.

0:18:22 > 0:18:24Her name is Tanya.

0:18:24 > 0:18:27Don't even think about it until you know them better.

0:18:30 > 0:18:33I should have known you couldn't handle this like a grown-up.

0:18:33 > 0:18:36- Can't we just talk about...? - That's what I wanted to do!

0:18:36 > 0:18:39But you'd always rather go off running after the first person you see.

0:18:39 > 0:18:42Oh, another bloke, of course - just to really twist the knife.

0:18:42 > 0:18:46I know you're upset, but seriously - me and Heston?!

0:18:46 > 0:18:48I saw you kissing him!

0:18:48 > 0:18:50Oh, I can explain that.

0:18:50 > 0:18:53Oh, you can always explain. And I always fall for it.

0:18:53 > 0:18:54Well, never again.

0:18:54 > 0:18:56DOOR SLAMS

0:18:56 > 0:18:58ESTHER SIGHS

0:18:58 > 0:19:01Why don't you come and stay at ours at Christmas?

0:19:01 > 0:19:03Ah, that's really kind of you, Karen, but...

0:19:03 > 0:19:05Rob won't mind. The more the merrier.

0:19:05 > 0:19:10- Immie will be there, and Jack, and Auntie Ag...- I can't

0:19:10 > 0:19:12Oh, come on, I insist.

0:19:12 > 0:19:15I just won't be happy with the thought of you sat at home,

0:19:15 > 0:19:16alone with your book.

0:19:16 > 0:19:20Ah, yeah, no, um... I'm going to my sister's in Liverpool,

0:19:20 > 0:19:23so I probably won't get time to read my book with her

0:19:23 > 0:19:24and the kids pestering me.

0:19:24 > 0:19:26OK. Well, why don't you give her...

0:19:28 > 0:19:29..the card?

0:19:30 > 0:19:33And you can sign up for the full decoupage course next year.

0:19:33 > 0:19:35Ah! No, I don't think so.

0:19:35 > 0:19:37It was fun, but there's got to be more to life, eh?

0:19:38 > 0:19:40- I'll see you tomorrow.- Yeah.

0:19:45 > 0:19:47UNLOCKS CAR

0:19:48 > 0:19:50Heston!

0:19:50 > 0:19:52Sorry, Jimmi, I'm in a bit of hurry.

0:19:52 > 0:19:54Just wanted to give you this.

0:19:54 > 0:19:55Thank you.

0:20:10 > 0:20:12Kevin, hi. Sorry.

0:20:12 > 0:20:14Hi. I was just coming to find you.

0:20:14 > 0:20:18- No parking spaces anywhere. Zarif's gone to find one.- Right.

0:20:18 > 0:20:20I'm so glad you came.

0:20:20 > 0:20:23Yeah, me too. I've saved us a table.

0:20:26 > 0:20:28..Any consideration for anyone else? >

0:20:28 > 0:20:29I mean, do you care?! >

0:20:29 > 0:20:31Do you even care?! >

0:20:31 > 0:20:33Do you want this baby? >

0:20:33 > 0:20:36Sometimes I get the sense you really couldn't be bothered at all! >

0:20:38 > 0:20:41Oh, that's it, go on, run! >

0:20:42 > 0:20:43Esther.

0:20:43 > 0:20:44Heston.

0:20:44 > 0:20:46You never think about what I might... >

0:20:46 > 0:20:48I was just going out to the pub. Would you care to join me?

0:20:48 > 0:20:50Is Tanya all right?

0:20:50 > 0:20:53She'll be fine. This is quite normal.

0:20:53 > 0:20:54Is it?

0:20:56 > 0:20:58You don't have to tell me about paperwork.

0:20:58 > 0:20:59I work in insurance.

0:20:59 > 0:21:02Yeah, I've been meaning to ask you, actually -

0:21:02 > 0:21:03so do I get a family discount or what?

0:21:03 > 0:21:07Only if I get to bore you to death all about my aches and pains.

0:21:07 > 0:21:08Is something up with you?

0:21:08 > 0:21:11I'm fine. I was kidding.

0:21:11 > 0:21:14Oh, you're a real sweetie, you know that?

0:21:17 > 0:21:18Zarif!

0:21:20 > 0:21:21Zarif, this is...

0:21:21 > 0:21:23Well, you know who this is.

0:21:24 > 0:21:26Kevin. Hi. Pleased to meet you.

0:21:28 > 0:21:30Sit down, the pair of you.

0:21:31 > 0:21:33What do you want to drink?

0:21:33 > 0:21:36No, no, it's all right, I'll get it. What do you want?

0:21:36 > 0:21:38I don't want anything.

0:21:38 > 0:21:39OK. Cool.

0:21:42 > 0:21:45Zarif's a bit tired. He's on nights at the moment.

0:21:45 > 0:21:46Oh. What is it you do?

0:21:46 > 0:21:48I manage a warehouse.

0:21:49 > 0:21:52That's interesting. I'm a doctor.

0:21:52 > 0:21:56Good for you. No kids, though, right?

0:21:56 > 0:21:58No way. I've got plenty of time for that.

0:21:59 > 0:22:00My kids are my life.

0:22:02 > 0:22:03Shame your dad didn't feel the same way.

0:22:03 > 0:22:08Zarif, why don't you go and get Kevin another coffee? And cake.

0:22:08 > 0:22:10I think we all need cake.

0:22:20 > 0:22:22It did take me a while to settle down.

0:22:23 > 0:22:25But I'm not nearly as bad as she imagines me to be.

0:22:27 > 0:22:30Since we've been married, I have been entirely faithful.

0:22:32 > 0:22:34And as for the idea of running off with a man,

0:22:34 > 0:22:37even one as good as you, Heston...

0:22:37 > 0:22:40It's not just me imagining things. She did go out with men before.

0:22:40 > 0:22:42She didn't even come out properly till a few years ago.

0:22:42 > 0:22:47I've explained that. Things were different then.

0:22:47 > 0:22:49You should trust me!

0:22:49 > 0:22:53I do. I try to. And then you do something like this.

0:22:53 > 0:22:56She didn't do anything, Tanya, I can assure you.

0:22:56 > 0:23:00- She went straight off with you instead of staying here when I needed her.- I did it for you.

0:23:01 > 0:23:02Can I tell her?

0:23:05 > 0:23:10I asked him if he would consider stepping into Craig's shoes.

0:23:12 > 0:23:15Really, Dr Carter? A doctor for a dad.

0:23:15 > 0:23:17Are you going to?

0:23:22 > 0:23:23Thanks, Zarif.

0:23:23 > 0:23:25Yeah, thanks.

0:23:25 > 0:23:28I was just being a proud auntie, showing off my niece and nephew.

0:23:28 > 0:23:29- They're very cute.- Thank you.

0:23:29 > 0:23:31Your wife's pretty cute too.

0:23:31 > 0:23:34It's a compliment, Zarif.

0:23:34 > 0:23:37He's well aware she's way out of his league.

0:23:39 > 0:23:40So how did you two meet?

0:23:40 > 0:23:42Through the family.

0:23:42 > 0:23:43Oh, right.

0:23:45 > 0:23:46We're very happy together.

0:23:48 > 0:23:51I never wanted to waste my time with meaningless relationships.

0:23:52 > 0:23:55If only our dad had been there to help pick me a wife.

0:23:55 > 0:24:00Hey, maybe I'd have got first dibs on your missus, being the oldest.

0:24:00 > 0:24:02- Now you really are out of order. - He's kidding, Zarif.

0:24:02 > 0:24:06But you'd think our dad would be against arranged marriages after what happened.

0:24:06 > 0:24:09You know, him having to give up my mum for someone he didn't know.

0:24:09 > 0:24:11This is a waste of time! He's not going to do it.

0:24:11 > 0:24:15- What do you mean? Do what? - Nothing. Just...

0:24:15 > 0:24:16just be part of our family.

0:24:17 > 0:24:18What's going on?

0:24:20 > 0:24:23Even if I did want a child, It would have to be a happy home.

0:24:23 > 0:24:24- We are happy.- Really?

0:24:24 > 0:24:26We would be.

0:24:26 > 0:24:29- We've talked about this so much. - Well, maybe that's the problem.

0:24:29 > 0:24:32Are you talking about what you both want?

0:24:32 > 0:24:34Yeah, well, that's when the arguments start.

0:24:36 > 0:24:38That's why we concentrate on this.

0:24:38 > 0:24:39It makes her happy.

0:24:41 > 0:24:42I don't.

0:24:42 > 0:24:45- You do, Esther. Don't say that. - You have to be happy.

0:24:45 > 0:24:48A child won't fix your problems.

0:24:48 > 0:24:50Hmm. Maybe we've both got to grow up a bit.

0:24:50 > 0:24:54I've always wanted to be a mum. As soon as I met the right person.

0:24:54 > 0:24:57The chances are you will be a mum. You've got plenty of time.

0:24:57 > 0:24:58She doesn't.

0:24:58 > 0:25:01Well, maybe, I'm not the right person. Too old.

0:25:01 > 0:25:04You don't have to be young, but you do have to be ready.

0:25:04 > 0:25:07How long do you think that will take?

0:25:07 > 0:25:09How long will it take you to trust me?

0:25:12 > 0:25:15Maybe it's a good job we couldn't go ahead with Craig.

0:25:15 > 0:25:17Oh, Craig. I should call him.

0:25:17 > 0:25:20- I wasn't very nice, was I? - You've been under a lot of pressure.

0:25:20 > 0:25:23But when the time comes, the right man will be there.

0:25:28 > 0:25:31I'll be here if you need me, but...

0:25:31 > 0:25:32just to talk.

0:25:34 > 0:25:35It's a shame.

0:25:36 > 0:25:38The world would be a better place with more Hestons in it.

0:25:40 > 0:25:42But you always were a one-off.

0:25:42 > 0:25:44Take care, Esther.

0:25:46 > 0:25:48You too.

0:25:55 > 0:25:58- We just wanted to get to know you. - No, he didn't. There's more to this.

0:25:58 > 0:26:01Yes, there is. There's no time, Nadia. He needs to know.

0:26:03 > 0:26:05My dad's dying.

0:26:07 > 0:26:10- What's wrong with him? - He's in hospital with an infection.

0:26:10 > 0:26:13- His immune system is so weak. - Is it hereditary?

0:26:13 > 0:26:16- Is that why...? - No, no, it's not that. It's...

0:26:16 > 0:26:17It needn't be terminal.

0:26:17 > 0:26:21Our dad needs a bone marrow transplant and neither of us are a match.

0:26:21 > 0:26:23Right, so you didn't want to get to know me at all.

0:26:23 > 0:26:26- It's not like that, Kevin.- You just wanted a donor - a piece of meat.

0:26:26 > 0:26:29- That's exactly how it is, isn't it? - No!

0:26:29 > 0:26:31No. I'll admit it's what made me come looking for you,

0:26:31 > 0:26:34but it's more than that now.

0:26:34 > 0:26:39- Now that we're getting to know each other, it could just be the start. - No, it can't.

0:26:39 > 0:26:41Why do I care if he dies?

0:26:41 > 0:26:42It makes no difference to me.

0:26:42 > 0:26:45Don't contact me again.

0:26:45 > 0:26:48Kevin, please, don't. Kevin...

0:26:55 > 0:26:57- Where are we going? - To a safe house, out in the sticks.

0:26:57 > 0:26:59Do I take it last night didn't go well?

0:26:59 > 0:27:01Can we talk about something else?

0:27:01 > 0:27:03Tell me a bit about this group of yours.

0:27:03 > 0:27:05They wanted to kill innocent people just to make a point.

0:27:05 > 0:27:08- You don't have to bottle it up, you know.- Yeah, whatever.

0:27:08 > 0:27:12Gina Williams, ex-major with the Witton Regiment.

0:27:12 > 0:27:15You have been keeping a low profile, haven't you?

0:27:15 > 0:27:17- If you want to...um...- What?
