0:00:30 > 0:00:33From the outside, it was like any other house.

0:00:33 > 0:00:35Anonymous. Respectable.

0:00:36 > 0:00:41Who could have known what horrors were going on behind that door?

0:00:41 > 0:00:44I was the girl who could never do anything right.

0:00:44 > 0:00:45Who had to be punished.

0:00:46 > 0:00:51If Mum couldn't find anything to hit me with, then she'd improvise.

0:00:51 > 0:00:53Sometimes one sharp push was all it took.

0:00:53 > 0:00:55KNOCK AT THE DOOR

0:00:55 > 0:00:59I was in hospital for three weeks after she threw me down the stairs.

0:00:59 > 0:01:01She told them it was an accident.

0:01:01 > 0:01:02They believed her.

0:01:04 > 0:01:07How could you? I trusted you.

0:01:07 > 0:01:10- What?- I let you look after my children.

0:01:10 > 0:01:12Vera, calm down. What's the problem?

0:01:12 > 0:01:16The book. I read your Jenny's book.

0:01:16 > 0:01:19Didn't know it was her at first, of course. Different name.

0:01:19 > 0:01:22But the more I read, the more familiar it sounded.

0:01:22 > 0:01:24- The people, the places. - Let me explain.

0:01:24 > 0:01:27And what you did to her when you got home!

0:01:27 > 0:01:28It's not what it seems.

0:01:28 > 0:01:32I wanted to throw up when I realised how you'd treated her.

0:01:32 > 0:01:34And right under my nose. How could you?

0:01:34 > 0:01:36- Please...- Stay away from me!

0:01:36 > 0:01:40And don't you dare show your face outside that door again.

0:01:40 > 0:01:42I'm going to make sure everybody knows what you are.

0:01:42 > 0:01:44Vera, wait!

0:02:01 > 0:02:03Vera read your book.

0:02:03 > 0:02:05I don't know what to do.

0:02:11 > 0:02:13You have got to be kidding!

0:02:15 > 0:02:18I told the boys at Round Table I'd spruce it up.

0:02:18 > 0:02:20We can't have a winter wonderland parked here.

0:02:20 > 0:02:22What will the neighbours think?

0:02:22 > 0:02:25We want it looking good for its grand debut next week, don't we?

0:02:27 > 0:02:30Hey! My car was parked here. What have you done with it?

0:02:30 > 0:02:31I've moved it a bit.

0:02:32 > 0:02:35What's got into you, Rob Hollins? I'm late enough as it is.

0:02:35 > 0:02:37I thought it'd be nice to give something back.

0:02:37 > 0:02:40Especially now the kids are away and I've time on my hands.

0:02:40 > 0:02:41It's Christmas!

0:02:41 > 0:02:43You dropped an elf.

0:02:43 > 0:02:47See? It's spreading Christmas cheer already.

0:02:47 > 0:02:50Don't worry, kid. Santa has just dropped it off for an MOT.

0:02:50 > 0:02:55It's going to be ready in plenty of time to deliver your presents.

0:02:55 > 0:02:57Can you keep an eye on it while I make a cup of tea?

0:02:57 > 0:03:00We don't want the reindeer running amok.

0:03:20 > 0:03:22PHONE RINGS

0:03:22 > 0:03:24- Could you grab that?- Not my job.

0:03:24 > 0:03:27- Karen's not in yet. - They can phone back later, then.

0:03:30 > 0:03:32Hello, morning, Mill Health Centre.

0:03:32 > 0:03:37Please, I...I need to talk to a doctor. I can't breathe.

0:03:37 > 0:03:39OK, I'm a doctor. I can help you.

0:03:55 > 0:03:57Deep breaths. Keep going.

0:03:57 > 0:04:01My heart feels like it's about to explode.

0:04:01 > 0:04:03It sounds like you're having a panic attack.

0:04:03 > 0:04:05I know it's scary, but you'll be OK.

0:04:05 > 0:04:07- 'Is anyone there with you?' - My daughter's coming over.

0:04:07 > 0:04:09How long will she be?

0:04:09 > 0:04:11- 'I don't know.'- Mary?

0:04:11 > 0:04:13I feel sick.

0:04:13 > 0:04:16- Can you come into the surgery?- 'No.'

0:04:16 > 0:04:18I'm not going out. I can't.

0:04:18 > 0:04:19'Why not?'

0:04:22 > 0:04:23SHE SOBS

0:04:23 > 0:04:26OK, look, I'm on my rounds this morning

0:04:26 > 0:04:28'so why don't I come and see you?'

0:04:28 > 0:04:30Thank you.

0:04:31 > 0:04:35..down the stairs. Comes in covered in bruises...

0:04:35 > 0:04:37- Oh, Jenny!- Hi.

0:04:37 > 0:04:41I'm so sorry. I had no idea what she was doing to you.

0:04:41 > 0:04:43Oh, come here.

0:04:43 > 0:04:45- You poor, poor thing.- It's OK.

0:04:45 > 0:04:49If I'd realised what was happening, I would have done something.

0:04:49 > 0:04:51- You have to believe that.- I know.

0:04:51 > 0:04:53You're so brave, writing about what happened.

0:04:53 > 0:04:55I hope it's helped put things behind you.

0:04:55 > 0:04:58I need to go and see my mother. We've things to talk about.

0:04:58 > 0:05:01How can you go back in that house after what she did?

0:05:01 > 0:05:04I'm a grown-up now. I'm not afraid any more.

0:05:14 > 0:05:17Mum! What are you doing down there?

0:05:17 > 0:05:19It's all right. We can sort this out.

0:05:19 > 0:05:22- How?- I'll think of something.

0:05:22 > 0:05:25OK. Let's get you comfortable at least.

0:05:29 > 0:05:31No, I can't have them staring at me.

0:05:34 > 0:05:37I thought you said no-one would find out it was you.

0:05:37 > 0:05:39I didn't realise Vera read books.

0:05:39 > 0:05:43Of course she reads books! What do you think she does all day long?

0:05:43 > 0:05:46- Watch telly.- I'll bet half of them round here have got a copy.

0:05:46 > 0:05:49They're selling it in the supermarket!

0:05:49 > 0:05:51I nearly died when I saw that.

0:05:51 > 0:05:52It's doing really well.

0:05:52 > 0:05:55I can't say I'm pleased for you.

0:05:56 > 0:05:58I'll get you a glass of water.

0:05:58 > 0:06:00Just sit there.

0:06:00 > 0:06:01I'm not going anywhere.

0:06:12 > 0:06:16There you are. I thought I put you on guard duty. What happened?

0:06:16 > 0:06:17Some lads.

0:06:17 > 0:06:20- Why didn't you come and get me? - Dunno.

0:06:20 > 0:06:24What kind of heartless thugs would want to graffiti a charity float?

0:06:24 > 0:06:27It makes my blood boil. If you see them anywhere, you...

0:06:27 > 0:06:30I...I've got to go.

0:06:30 > 0:06:33Oi! Hey!

0:06:34 > 0:06:36We have to go and tell Vera the truth.

0:06:36 > 0:06:37What choice have we got?

0:06:37 > 0:06:39I don't think that's a very good idea.

0:06:39 > 0:06:42These are my neighbours. My friends.

0:06:42 > 0:06:45If people find out what I did, I'll be eaten alive.

0:06:45 > 0:06:47This street, those people are my life.

0:06:47 > 0:06:50I know it's not as exciting as yours, but it's all I've got.

0:06:50 > 0:06:53Believe me, if the press get a whiff of this,

0:06:53 > 0:06:55then things will be a whole lot worse.

0:06:55 > 0:06:58And it won't just be me they come after.

0:06:59 > 0:07:02Listen, why don't you get away for a bit till things calm down?

0:07:02 > 0:07:06I'll pay. Wherever you want. How about going abroad?

0:07:06 > 0:07:08Vera's not just going to forget what you wrote.

0:07:08 > 0:07:09The lies you told about me!

0:07:09 > 0:07:12You weren't so bothered when the cheques started coming in.

0:07:12 > 0:07:14I don't care about the stupid money.

0:07:14 > 0:07:18That's not what you said when you couldn't afford the mortgage.

0:07:18 > 0:07:21Where are you going? Just wait, Mum, please.

0:07:21 > 0:07:24You've always wanted what's best for me, haven't you?

0:07:24 > 0:07:28If you tell Vera the truth, she won't be able to keep her trap shut.

0:07:28 > 0:07:32I'll be back on that wretched checkout for the rest of my life.

0:07:32 > 0:07:34I can't take this. My best friends think I'm an animal!

0:07:34 > 0:07:38Don't you think she'll wonder why you didn't stop me writing the book?

0:07:38 > 0:07:43Why would any mother let their own child write such terrible things about them?

0:07:45 > 0:07:47But if you think it's for the best,

0:07:47 > 0:07:50then you'd better go and tell her.

0:07:57 > 0:07:58Thank you, Mum.

0:07:58 > 0:08:01Now, let's work out what we're going to do.

0:08:05 > 0:08:10So...I've got the final list.

0:08:10 > 0:08:12I know you have to carry all this back through customs,

0:08:12 > 0:08:15- but think of the good karma it'll bring you.- Just leave it there.

0:08:15 > 0:08:17You can get those trainers for half the price.

0:08:17 > 0:08:20Shop around, see what you can find. I've written what I want.

0:08:20 > 0:08:22- Thanks.- You've got to get the right colour, though.

0:08:22 > 0:08:25- If they only have navy blue... - I'm sure I can handle it.

0:08:25 > 0:08:26It's not rocket science.

0:08:29 > 0:08:31Sorry.

0:08:32 > 0:08:34What's wrong?

0:08:35 > 0:08:36Nothing.

0:08:44 > 0:08:46I've got it.

0:08:46 > 0:08:49You could move house. Go somewhere new, start over.

0:08:49 > 0:08:52Nobody will know who you are.

0:08:52 > 0:08:54I can get you somewhere nice.

0:08:54 > 0:08:57I've been in this house for 35 years.

0:08:57 > 0:09:01- So it's time for a change of scenery.- No! This is my home.

0:09:01 > 0:09:02I bought it with your father.

0:09:03 > 0:09:06That floor is where you took your first steps.

0:09:06 > 0:09:09I'm not throwing away those memories because of your stupid book.

0:09:09 > 0:09:11KNOCKING

0:09:11 > 0:09:13Who's that?

0:09:13 > 0:09:16- It might be the doctor.- What?

0:09:16 > 0:09:19I thought I was dying. My heart was going so fast.

0:09:19 > 0:09:22LOUDER KNOCKING

0:09:23 > 0:09:25You'd better let him in.

0:09:26 > 0:09:31I don't understand. I thought you didn't want anything to do with him.

0:09:31 > 0:09:32What's changed?

0:09:34 > 0:09:36He's dying.

0:09:38 > 0:09:41I could help him.

0:09:41 > 0:09:43Why doesn't he want to see you?

0:09:43 > 0:09:44Because he's a coward.

0:09:44 > 0:09:48Well, if he doesn't want to know you, then it's his loss.

0:09:48 > 0:09:52But...what is it you really want?

0:09:52 > 0:09:54What do you mean?

0:09:54 > 0:09:57If your only interest is in helping to save his life,

0:09:57 > 0:10:00then you can do the donation without meeting him.

0:10:01 > 0:10:03Wouldn't that be easier?

0:10:04 > 0:10:06You've gone this far without him in your life,

0:10:06 > 0:10:08and you seem to be doing OK.

0:10:08 > 0:10:10I've already seen him.

0:10:10 > 0:10:12What?

0:10:12 > 0:10:15The other day. At the hospital.

0:10:15 > 0:10:18I couldn't help myself, knowing he was just down the corridor.

0:10:18 > 0:10:19What happened?

0:10:20 > 0:10:22I didn't tell him who I was.

0:10:23 > 0:10:27I just pretended to read his charts, and then I left.

0:10:27 > 0:10:30My whole life, I've wondered what kind of man he was.

0:10:31 > 0:10:33I was half expecting some monster.

0:10:36 > 0:10:41But in the end, he's just another ill old man.

0:10:43 > 0:10:45He's never going to be what you want him to be.

0:10:45 > 0:10:48A proper father. You must know that.

0:10:48 > 0:10:49Yeah.

0:10:52 > 0:10:55So why didn't you talk to him? Tell him who you were?

0:10:55 > 0:10:58What am I supposed to say?

0:10:59 > 0:11:03I don't know, but surely you went there for a reason?

0:11:03 > 0:11:07If there is something you want to say to him, you'd better do it now.

0:11:07 > 0:11:09You might not get another chance.

0:11:12 > 0:11:15Sorry I took a while to get here. The traffic was terrible.

0:11:15 > 0:11:19- She's feeling a lot better now. Aren't you?- Yes.

0:11:19 > 0:11:23Right, um... You sounded quite distressed on the phone.

0:11:23 > 0:11:24It's all passed now.

0:11:24 > 0:11:27Sorry to have dragged you out here for nothing.

0:11:27 > 0:11:29Well, as I'm here, I may as well check you over.

0:11:29 > 0:11:33- We don't want to waste any more of your time.- It's no problem.

0:11:33 > 0:11:34Thank you.

0:11:35 > 0:11:38So, Mary, have you had panic attacks before?

0:11:38 > 0:11:41I get anxious sometimes, but never like this.

0:11:41 > 0:11:44I saw on your records you've had a heart murmur in the past?

0:11:44 > 0:11:47- Yes.- Have you noticed any new symptoms?

0:11:47 > 0:11:49Any idea what might have caused the attack today?

0:11:54 > 0:11:55Did something happen?

0:11:55 > 0:11:58I had an argument with my best friend.

0:12:00 > 0:12:01I'm sorry to hear that.

0:12:01 > 0:12:03GLASS BREAKS

0:12:10 > 0:12:12I'm going to call the police.

0:12:12 > 0:12:14- No!- No!

0:12:14 > 0:12:17Why "no"? What's going on?

0:12:34 > 0:12:38Right, let's see you get through that, you little bugger.

0:12:38 > 0:12:41The woman next door read it. Realised that I'd written it.

0:12:44 > 0:12:47She's been going round telling all the neighbours.

0:12:47 > 0:12:49Guess some of them are angry.

0:12:49 > 0:12:51It'll blow over, though.

0:12:56 > 0:12:57This book is about you?

0:12:57 > 0:13:00We've made our peace since then.

0:13:00 > 0:13:02I've learned to forgive Mum for what she did.

0:13:04 > 0:13:06You must think I'm a terrible person.

0:13:09 > 0:13:10I'm, uh...

0:13:12 > 0:13:14..here as your doctor.

0:13:14 > 0:13:17It's my duty to make sure you're OK.

0:13:17 > 0:13:20We need to work out what you'll do. You can't live under siege.

0:13:20 > 0:13:23- We don't want the police involved. - Why? They can help protect you.

0:13:23 > 0:13:25I don't want them prying into our lives.

0:13:25 > 0:13:28Should have thought of that before you wrote that stupid book!

0:13:28 > 0:13:30- Did you report any of this?- No...

0:13:32 > 0:13:34Can they report her for this?

0:13:35 > 0:13:37Can they arrest her for this?

0:13:37 > 0:13:39- What?- If they found out?

0:13:39 > 0:13:40I don't know.

0:13:40 > 0:13:43Don't start getting worked up, Mum.

0:13:43 > 0:13:44I'm not going to prison.

0:13:44 > 0:13:47Just keep calm and do what I say.

0:13:47 > 0:13:51- You won't have to worry about a thing.- This is too much!

0:13:51 > 0:13:53I won't do this for you!

0:13:53 > 0:13:54Sit down.

0:13:59 > 0:14:00Vera, listen to me.

0:14:00 > 0:14:02Please! It's not true.

0:14:02 > 0:14:06All the things she wrote, she made them up.

0:14:06 > 0:14:08I'm not the woman in that book.

0:14:08 > 0:14:09You would say that.

0:14:09 > 0:14:12How long have you known me? Have I ever lied to you?

0:14:12 > 0:14:17Do you really think I'm capable of doing those terrible things?

0:14:17 > 0:14:18Is this true?

0:14:19 > 0:14:22Jenny, look me in the eye and tell me.

0:14:22 > 0:14:24Did you make all this up?

0:14:25 > 0:14:27No.

0:14:27 > 0:14:29Oh, Jen, please!

0:14:29 > 0:14:31I just wrote down what happened.

0:14:31 > 0:14:33What you all missed when we were alone.

0:14:35 > 0:14:37Come back inside.

0:14:37 > 0:14:39MARY SOBS

0:14:56 > 0:14:59Listen, kid. I'm a copper.

0:14:59 > 0:15:02Don't make me have to go and find out who your parents are.

0:15:02 > 0:15:06Wasn't doing nothing wrong. Just redecorating it a bit.

0:15:06 > 0:15:10Ah? If you want to redecorate something,

0:15:10 > 0:15:12it's your lucky day.

0:15:14 > 0:15:15Leave me alone!

0:15:15 > 0:15:19- Mum...- Don't touch me, you disgusting child!

0:15:20 > 0:15:23You should go. I'm used to her moods. I can deal with her.

0:15:23 > 0:15:26- I can't leave her like this. - I told you, it's fine.

0:15:26 > 0:15:28MARY CRIES

0:15:28 > 0:15:29Why did you write the book?

0:15:29 > 0:15:32You must have known it would make things worse between you.

0:15:32 > 0:15:35- Is it worse than what she did to me when I was young?- She looks ashamed.

0:15:35 > 0:15:39She should have thought of that before she laid her hands on me.

0:15:40 > 0:15:44She used to slap me so hard, I thought she'd crack my skull.

0:15:44 > 0:15:47If I didn't do what she told me, she'd lock me in the cupboard.

0:15:47 > 0:15:50Have you any idea what that's like?

0:15:50 > 0:15:53All I did was write down what happened.

0:15:53 > 0:15:56Yeah, and you destroyed her life in the process.

0:15:56 > 0:15:58Like she tried to destroy mine.

0:15:58 > 0:15:59What's she going to do now?

0:15:59 > 0:16:03Her friends hate her. She's too scared to step out the front door.

0:16:03 > 0:16:05Don't you have other patients to see?

0:16:05 > 0:16:07I'd like to talk to her.

0:16:07 > 0:16:10- No. You've done enough here. - I just want to check she's OK.

0:16:10 > 0:16:12That isn't necessary.

0:16:12 > 0:16:15Why is it a problem if I speak to her?

0:16:16 > 0:16:18I'd like you to leave my house, please.

0:16:20 > 0:16:22I thought this was your mother's house.

0:16:25 > 0:16:27Karen, I've got to go out. Something's come up.

0:16:27 > 0:16:29How long are you going to be?

0:16:29 > 0:16:30I really don't know.

0:16:35 > 0:16:37KNOCKING

0:16:43 > 0:16:45- Where's Dr Clay?- Gone.

0:16:45 > 0:16:47I'm feeling a bit...

0:16:47 > 0:16:51You go round blabbing. Trying to ruin my life. You selfish cow!

0:16:51 > 0:16:53Please, stop it.

0:16:53 > 0:16:56You're selfish. That's your problem.

0:16:56 > 0:16:57I'm sorry.

0:16:57 > 0:17:00I wish you had done those things to me when I was young.

0:17:00 > 0:17:03At least it'd show you had a spine.

0:17:11 > 0:17:13HE WHISPERS INAUDIBLY

0:17:35 > 0:17:37Mary?

0:17:44 > 0:17:46HE KNOCKS

0:17:48 > 0:17:49What happened?

0:17:50 > 0:17:52Why are you here?

0:17:53 > 0:17:55Cos I believe you.

0:17:59 > 0:18:03You see, the trouble is, people don't respect things any more.

0:18:03 > 0:18:06I go out of my way in my own spare time to do some charity work

0:18:06 > 0:18:09and then little beggars like you go and spoil it for everyone.

0:18:09 > 0:18:11So help me out here.

0:18:12 > 0:18:14Why did you do it?

0:18:14 > 0:18:16Christmas is cancelled!

0:18:16 > 0:18:19- Oh? Is it?- Yeah.

0:18:19 > 0:18:21Santa missed my house last year.

0:18:22 > 0:18:23I'm not surprised.

0:18:23 > 0:18:26He probably thought you didn't deserve any presents,

0:18:26 > 0:18:28the way you treat other people's property.

0:18:28 > 0:18:30I think he got confused.

0:18:30 > 0:18:32Tried to take the presents to my dad's new house.

0:18:32 > 0:18:35Probably thought I'd be there with him.

0:19:30 > 0:19:31Hello, Doctor.

0:19:35 > 0:19:36I'm not the doctor.

0:19:37 > 0:19:41I mean, I am a doctor. I'm just not your doctor.

0:19:41 > 0:19:43I saw you the other day.

0:19:43 > 0:19:45Yeah.

0:19:45 > 0:19:47- You were in my room.- I'm Kevin.

0:19:47 > 0:19:49Now, I know you didn't want to see me

0:19:49 > 0:19:52but you don't get off that easily.

0:19:52 > 0:19:54There are things you need to hear.

0:19:55 > 0:19:56You're a doctor?

0:19:56 > 0:19:58Yeah.

0:19:58 > 0:20:00I always knew you'd do well.

0:20:02 > 0:20:03What?

0:20:03 > 0:20:05You're my son.

0:20:05 > 0:20:08Of course you were going to succeed in life.

0:20:08 > 0:20:09It's in our genes.

0:20:09 > 0:20:15Anything I've achieved in my life has got nothing to do with you.

0:20:15 > 0:20:17I can still be proud of you, can't I?

0:20:17 > 0:20:18No!

0:20:18 > 0:20:21My son the doctor.

0:20:21 > 0:20:23I wish I knew.

0:20:23 > 0:20:26You could have found me any time.

0:20:26 > 0:20:29You refused to have anything to do with me.

0:20:29 > 0:20:31But you snuck in here anyway.

0:20:33 > 0:20:37Why weren't you brave enough to tell me who you were when you came before?

0:20:37 > 0:20:41You honestly think I wanted to speak to you after what you've done?

0:20:41 > 0:20:43So what's changed?

0:20:44 > 0:20:46You realised you were running out of time?

0:20:49 > 0:20:51What was it you wanted to say to me?

0:20:51 > 0:20:53Did you prepare a speech?

0:20:56 > 0:20:57I just...

0:21:00 > 0:21:02Is that it?

0:21:03 > 0:21:09You're a disgrace for having a child and then just running away.

0:21:09 > 0:21:12You knew I was out there, but you didn't want anything to do with me.

0:21:12 > 0:21:14Why?

0:21:14 > 0:21:16Because Mum was the wrong colour?

0:21:17 > 0:21:18You're a coward.

0:21:18 > 0:21:20I know.

0:21:21 > 0:21:23You what?

0:21:23 > 0:21:24I know.

0:21:26 > 0:21:28I was a bad father to you.

0:21:29 > 0:21:32But I can't turn back time,

0:21:32 > 0:21:35and even if I could, I wouldn't do anything differently.

0:21:37 > 0:21:39I made my choices and I'll stand by them.

0:21:40 > 0:21:43How could you be so heartless?

0:21:44 > 0:21:47You didn't need me.

0:21:47 > 0:21:49Look at how well you've turned out.

0:21:52 > 0:21:56You seem like a fine young man, Dr Tyler... Kevin.

0:21:58 > 0:22:00I'm pleased for you.

0:22:02 > 0:22:05But if you came here hoping we can make things up,

0:22:05 > 0:22:06then you're out of luck.

0:22:08 > 0:22:10I'm too old to have a new son.

0:22:11 > 0:22:13KNOCK AT THE DOOR

0:22:20 > 0:22:22Did Jenny do this?

0:22:22 > 0:22:24I was feeling weak. I fell.

0:22:24 > 0:22:27I think it's just a bruise. You'll be OK.

0:22:29 > 0:22:31How long has this been going on?

0:22:32 > 0:22:35- I don't know what you mean.- Please.

0:22:39 > 0:22:41She got angry when her dad died.

0:22:41 > 0:22:43I thought it would pass, but it never did.

0:22:45 > 0:22:48Why didn't you tell someone?

0:22:48 > 0:22:50She's my daughter.

0:22:50 > 0:22:52I want to protect her.

0:22:54 > 0:22:57You can't protect her by letting her destroy your life.

0:22:57 > 0:22:58Have you got children?

0:22:58 > 0:23:00No.

0:23:00 > 0:23:02Then you can't understand.

0:23:03 > 0:23:05I just want to be a good parent.

0:23:08 > 0:23:10This isn't the way, Mary.

0:23:11 > 0:23:15I thought things might get better when she started writing the book.

0:23:15 > 0:23:17She'd seen them in the shop.

0:23:17 > 0:23:19"Misery memoirs", they're called.

0:23:20 > 0:23:23Reckoned the authors made a mint.

0:23:23 > 0:23:26I've never seen her throw herself into anything like that.

0:23:26 > 0:23:29She's made you out to be a monster.

0:23:31 > 0:23:34We thought no-one would ever know it was meant to be me.

0:23:34 > 0:23:37We laughed about it - our big secret.

0:23:39 > 0:23:42And when it became a bestseller, things got better with us.

0:23:44 > 0:23:46Until today.

0:23:46 > 0:23:48This can't go on.

0:23:51 > 0:23:53What can I do?

0:23:53 > 0:23:56Get help. For both of you.

0:23:57 > 0:23:59DOOR CLOSES

0:24:03 > 0:24:05A job well done.

0:24:08 > 0:24:09You can go.

0:24:11 > 0:24:13And stay out of trouble.

0:24:14 > 0:24:16Oi.

0:24:21 > 0:24:23Do you want to try it out?

0:24:23 > 0:24:24What?

0:24:27 > 0:24:29I thought you'd gone.

0:24:29 > 0:24:31- He knows.- What?

0:24:31 > 0:24:32About you.

0:24:32 > 0:24:34You don't believe her stories, do you?

0:24:34 > 0:24:36Can we sit down and talk about this?

0:24:36 > 0:24:38I'm not the monster, Jenny.

0:24:38 > 0:24:39She gets delusions.

0:24:39 > 0:24:42I thought I could help you by hiding what you were like.

0:24:42 > 0:24:45- I should have got you proper help long ago.- I don't know what you mean.

0:24:45 > 0:24:48There's something wrong with you. There always has been.

0:24:48 > 0:24:49Don't talk to me like that!

0:24:49 > 0:24:51Whoa! That's enough.

0:24:51 > 0:24:53- Mary! - JENNY SCREAMS

0:24:55 > 0:24:56I saw Nadia.

0:24:58 > 0:25:00Of course.

0:25:00 > 0:25:01She sent you to see me.

0:25:01 > 0:25:04No. I decided to come.

0:25:05 > 0:25:08- But she told me what was wrong with you.- Why?

0:25:08 > 0:25:11She asked if I'd get tested.

0:25:11 > 0:25:14So we'd know if a transfusion was a possibility.

0:25:14 > 0:25:17And if it is?

0:25:17 > 0:25:18Then we'll see.

0:25:18 > 0:25:22Are you expecting me to beg for my life?

0:25:22 > 0:25:23No.

0:25:23 > 0:25:26Maybe you want me to apologise for not being there,

0:25:26 > 0:25:29- and in return you'll let me live. - I just wanted to talk.

0:25:29 > 0:25:33I won't do it. Too much time has passed.

0:25:33 > 0:25:34You could die.

0:25:36 > 0:25:38If that is what God wishes, then so be it.

0:25:40 > 0:25:43I'm not trying to blackmail you.

0:25:43 > 0:25:46- I just wanted to see if I could help.- Oh, really?

0:25:46 > 0:25:49You've every right to hate me. I understand that.

0:25:51 > 0:25:54But if I'm going to die,

0:25:54 > 0:25:56I'll do it with dignity.

0:25:58 > 0:26:00I don't want your charity.

0:26:16 > 0:26:20'I guess I'll never know if my mother was born a monster,

0:26:20 > 0:26:21'or if life made her that way.'

0:26:21 > 0:26:24SIREN WAILS

0:26:26 > 0:26:27Ready?

0:26:29 > 0:26:33'I was always jealous of children who grew up with no parents.

0:26:33 > 0:26:36'Better to have no-one than to live with a monster.

0:26:45 > 0:26:48'But we don't get to choose our family.

0:27:06 > 0:27:07What?

0:27:07 > 0:27:11- It's probably best if you stay clear of him for the time being.- Jas!

0:27:11 > 0:27:13That wasn't a suggestion.

0:27:13 > 0:27:15Now come on, sweetheart, dry your eyes.

0:27:15 > 0:27:17This is your wedding day.
