0:00:30 > 0:00:3326, 27,

0:00:33 > 0:00:3728, 29, 30!

0:00:41 > 0:00:43Oh. Wasn't expecting you yet.

0:00:43 > 0:00:45I've been awake since five.

0:00:45 > 0:00:48Only so many times I can pace up and down my kitchen!

0:00:48 > 0:00:49Did you pass Tara on the way in?

0:00:49 > 0:00:52The front door was open.

0:00:52 > 0:00:53Oh, great (!)

0:00:53 > 0:00:55She's probably just out the back.

0:00:55 > 0:00:57I'll go after her with a big net.

0:00:57 > 0:00:58OK, thanks.

0:01:03 > 0:01:06How did he take it!? He was over the moon (!)

0:01:09 > 0:01:10He was, actually, in a way.

0:01:12 > 0:01:16As long as I've got someone else, then one less thing to worry about.

0:01:16 > 0:01:20He was happy to accept that we'd had an affair,

0:01:20 > 0:01:23anything that bolsters his death-wish.

0:01:23 > 0:01:26Was he surprised...

0:01:26 > 0:01:28that it was me?

0:01:28 > 0:01:31Is that what's worrying you? The embarrassment of your situation?

0:01:31 > 0:01:34No. I just wasn't expecting you to tell him, that's all.

0:01:34 > 0:01:35Well, neither was I.

0:01:35 > 0:01:38And if I'd known he was going to see it as a blessing,

0:01:38 > 0:01:40then I'd have kept shtoom.

0:01:40 > 0:01:42I don't know what you want from me right now.

0:01:42 > 0:01:44Oh, poor you (!) Bereft of your customary resolve!

0:01:44 > 0:01:45Sarcasm won't get you anywhere.

0:01:48 > 0:01:49I've got things to do.

0:01:49 > 0:01:51Where's Heston?

0:01:51 > 0:01:53On a home visit. He needs to issue a...

0:01:55 > 0:01:56A death certificate.

0:02:02 > 0:02:0798, 99, 100!

0:02:07 > 0:02:10Ready or not, here I come!

0:02:10 > 0:02:11You can run, but you can't hide.

0:02:14 > 0:02:17Why today, Tara? Any day, but today.

0:02:20 > 0:02:22Her bike is still in the garage.

0:02:22 > 0:02:24She can't have gone far.

0:02:24 > 0:02:26I should've put her under house arrest.

0:02:26 > 0:02:29We don't need to leave for an hour. She'll be back soon.

0:02:29 > 0:02:32She promised to stay away from there after the last time.

0:02:32 > 0:02:34- Hmm?- The woods.

0:02:34 > 0:02:37I bet she's gone to the woods.

0:02:37 > 0:02:38Right.

0:02:42 > 0:02:46I'll be taking an early lunch break today, remember?

0:02:46 > 0:02:48Oh, yes, you've got your VIP chat with Gordon.

0:02:48 > 0:02:50Hope you've been brushing up on your psalms?

0:02:50 > 0:02:54I suspect it will be more practical than celestial.

0:02:54 > 0:02:59The reverend would like to make some minor changes to parochial matters.

0:02:59 > 0:03:00Ooh, you reckon?

0:03:00 > 0:03:04See, cos the Gordon I know isn't one for minor changes.

0:03:04 > 0:03:06More a major overhaul.

0:03:06 > 0:03:08Well, not in our parish.

0:03:08 > 0:03:13As the saying goes, "If it is not broken, do not fix it."

0:03:13 > 0:03:17See, I don't think you're going to be singing from the same hymn sheet.

0:03:17 > 0:03:20Gordon, he's an agent for change.

0:03:20 > 0:03:25He's like one of those business strategy people off the telly.

0:03:25 > 0:03:27You know, really shake things up.

0:03:27 > 0:03:31Mrs Hollins, we are talking about a place of worship,

0:03:31 > 0:03:34not some struggling retail outlet.

0:03:34 > 0:03:37- Same principle. - PHONE RINGS

0:03:37 > 0:03:38Mill Health Centre.

0:03:40 > 0:03:42I can hear you!

0:03:42 > 0:03:43I can smell you!

0:03:45 > 0:03:48CLATTERING AND GASPS

0:03:48 > 0:03:50Dad?

0:03:50 > 0:03:51Dad?

0:03:53 > 0:03:55Are you all right? What's happened?

0:03:55 > 0:03:58OK, don't worry. I'll go and get help.

0:03:58 > 0:04:00You're going to be fine, Dad. Just stay there.

0:04:04 > 0:04:06CAR RADIO BLARES

0:04:15 > 0:04:16What the hell do you think you're doing?

0:04:16 > 0:04:18- It's my dad.- What?

0:04:18 > 0:04:20My dad. He's fallen. He can't move.

0:04:20 > 0:04:22- Where is he? - In the woods, not far.

0:04:30 > 0:04:31Take me to him.

0:04:34 > 0:04:36What were you doing out here?

0:04:36 > 0:04:37Just playing.

0:04:37 > 0:04:39Dad? I'm here, Dad!

0:04:39 > 0:04:42- Is this where he fell? - Yeah, I'm sure of it.

0:04:42 > 0:04:44Well, it could just have been a sprain.

0:04:44 > 0:04:46No, he couldn't move at all.

0:04:46 > 0:04:47Well, he HAS moved.

0:04:47 > 0:04:49This doesn't make any sense.

0:04:49 > 0:04:51Somebody must have found him, helped him.

0:04:51 > 0:04:53If he was able to move, then he would have waited for me.

0:04:53 > 0:04:55He knew how worried I was.

0:04:55 > 0:04:57There must be some kind of rational explanation.

0:04:57 > 0:04:58You didn't see the state of him.

0:04:58 > 0:05:00He couldn't just vanish!

0:05:00 > 0:05:03Wherever he is, he needs our help.

0:05:03 > 0:05:05We need to inform the police now. Have you got a phone?

0:05:08 > 0:05:10No signal. Look, I'll give you a lift to the station, OK?

0:05:15 > 0:05:17He's about five foot ten.

0:05:17 > 0:05:19He was wearing blue jeans

0:05:19 > 0:05:22and a thick, checked shirt, sort of lumberjack style.

0:05:22 > 0:05:25Hey, Rob. Have you got a minute?

0:05:25 > 0:05:27This young lady's very worried about her father.

0:05:27 > 0:05:30They were in the woods earlier he seems to have gone missing.

0:05:30 > 0:05:33- Tara. Tara Finley, isn't it?- Yes.

0:05:33 > 0:05:36- I'll deal with this.- Thanks.

0:05:36 > 0:05:38What seems to be the problem, Tara?

0:05:38 > 0:05:42My dad, he's gone. He just vanished.

0:05:42 > 0:05:44We were playing in the woods, playing hide and seek,

0:05:44 > 0:05:47and he must've slipped.

0:05:47 > 0:05:49I found him down a ditch. He couldn't move.

0:05:49 > 0:05:51So I went to go get help.

0:05:51 > 0:05:54By the time I got back, he was gone.

0:05:54 > 0:05:55When was this?

0:05:55 > 0:05:57When? Just now.

0:05:57 > 0:06:00About half an hour ago.

0:06:00 > 0:06:01Really?

0:06:04 > 0:06:06You didn't see your dad today, Tara.

0:06:06 > 0:06:08You didn't see him this morning.

0:06:08 > 0:06:11Yes, I did. I know I did!

0:06:11 > 0:06:14We've been through this before, haven't we?

0:06:14 > 0:06:18You've made about five complaints in the last six months.

0:06:18 > 0:06:21I CAN show you the paperwork, if you want.

0:06:21 > 0:06:22Tara?

0:06:25 > 0:06:27- Her father's dead.- When?

0:06:27 > 0:06:29A couple of years ago.

0:06:29 > 0:06:32Poor kid needs a counsellor, not a copper.

0:06:32 > 0:06:33Tara!

0:06:36 > 0:06:38Tara!

0:06:46 > 0:06:48Need a lift somewhere?

0:06:48 > 0:06:49I've got nowhere to go.

0:06:49 > 0:06:50Half-term?

0:06:50 > 0:06:52I'm finished with school. I'm 16.

0:06:52 > 0:06:55- Really?- Yeah. Really.

0:06:55 > 0:06:57OK, bye, then.

0:07:02 > 0:07:03Where do you live?

0:07:06 > 0:07:08Still not picking up.

0:07:15 > 0:07:16Hi, are you Tara's mother?

0:07:16 > 0:07:17Yes. You are?

0:07:17 > 0:07:20Dr Granger. I work at The Mill Health Centre.

0:07:20 > 0:07:22She's very worried about her father.

0:07:22 > 0:07:25My daughter has a vivid imagination.

0:07:25 > 0:07:27Her father's dead.

0:07:27 > 0:07:29She can certainly choose her moments.

0:07:29 > 0:07:31I'm sorry for your trouble.

0:07:34 > 0:07:36We've been pulling our hair out!

0:07:37 > 0:07:39You only care about your own feelings.

0:07:39 > 0:07:41Not mine, and not Dad's.

0:07:41 > 0:07:44- He's very upset.- Tara, please!

0:07:56 > 0:07:58I'd rather die than go to your wedding!

0:08:05 > 0:08:08Let me talk to her once she's calmed down.

0:08:08 > 0:08:10You'll only make things worse.

0:08:10 > 0:08:13Give me a chance, hey? You take the taxi.

0:08:13 > 0:08:16I'll join you at the register office...WITH Tara.

0:08:19 > 0:08:22I can't believe that you would be party to this!

0:08:22 > 0:08:24- Sorry?- Sanctioning Sam's suicide.

0:08:24 > 0:08:29If you recall, I was reluctant to take on Sam as a patient,

0:08:29 > 0:08:31but was persuaded to do it by you and Chris,

0:08:31 > 0:08:33against my better judgement.

0:08:33 > 0:08:35- I couldn't have imagined this. - And neither could I.

0:08:36 > 0:08:39For what it's worth, I did try and talk him out of it.

0:08:39 > 0:08:42But I am obligated to record that he's not clinically depressed.

0:08:42 > 0:08:46I don't agree with his decision, I certainly didn't sanction it,

0:08:46 > 0:08:49but I can't deny him the right to make it.

0:08:51 > 0:08:54Thanks for the advice, but Tara's no stranger to therapy.

0:08:54 > 0:08:56If anything, it's a bit too close to home.

0:09:00 > 0:09:02This is you?

0:09:02 > 0:09:03I was Tara's counsellor.

0:09:03 > 0:09:05She's no longer in therapy?

0:09:05 > 0:09:07Once she turned 16, she wanted to stop.

0:09:07 > 0:09:12I thought it was a bit too soon, but we couldn't force her to continue.

0:09:12 > 0:09:14Not long afterwards, Marie and I got together.

0:09:14 > 0:09:17We planned to delicately break the news to Tara,

0:09:17 > 0:09:20but she found out sooner than we'd expected.

0:09:20 > 0:09:21And not in the best way.

0:09:24 > 0:09:26We thought it might be difficult for her to accept.

0:09:26 > 0:09:28We didn't anticipate HOW difficult.

0:09:28 > 0:09:31It's sent her back to where she was two years ago, only worse.

0:09:33 > 0:09:36If we'd known the effect it would have on her, then...

0:09:36 > 0:09:37So she won't accept your relationship?

0:09:38 > 0:09:40It's not only that.

0:09:41 > 0:09:45She thinks it's some sort of extra-marital conspiracy.

0:09:45 > 0:09:48Her father didn't kill himself, he was driven away.

0:09:48 > 0:09:50She really believes that?

0:09:50 > 0:09:54She tries to. And now it seems the fantasies are winning.

0:09:54 > 0:09:56PHONE RINGS

0:09:56 > 0:09:58Excuse me.

0:09:58 > 0:10:00Hello.

0:10:00 > 0:10:02Yeah, five minutes.

0:10:02 > 0:10:03OK. Bye.

0:10:03 > 0:10:04Sorry, I've got to go.

0:10:07 > 0:10:09I'm not saying he isn't despondent.

0:10:09 > 0:10:11He's clearly very low about his condition.

0:10:11 > 0:10:14But that doesn't mean he's mentally unstable.

0:10:14 > 0:10:16We have to make that distinction.

0:10:16 > 0:10:17Do we?

0:10:17 > 0:10:22Well, your precious distinctions are going to kill my husband!

0:10:22 > 0:10:24Who are you to judge him mentally anyway?

0:10:24 > 0:10:27You should try living with him.

0:10:27 > 0:10:29PHONE RINGS

0:10:31 > 0:10:33Hi.

0:10:33 > 0:10:34Hi, it's me, just a quick one.

0:10:34 > 0:10:36Are you able to get over here for lunch?

0:10:36 > 0:10:38- Why, what's wrong? - Nothing's wrong.

0:10:38 > 0:10:40Timothy Grunwald, the guy from The Clemence Clinic.

0:10:40 > 0:10:42He's coming over here at midday.

0:10:42 > 0:10:45Good chance if you want to ask any questions, air any concerns.

0:10:45 > 0:10:46Any concerns?!

0:10:46 > 0:10:49Well, there's one BIG concern.

0:10:50 > 0:10:51You don't have to be here.

0:10:51 > 0:10:53'No, no.'

0:10:53 > 0:10:55I should be there.

0:10:55 > 0:10:5712 isn't good for me, but I'll make it work.

0:10:57 > 0:10:59Great. See you then.

0:10:59 > 0:11:00Bye.

0:11:03 > 0:11:07Well, now you've given him the green light,

0:11:07 > 0:11:09there's no stopping him.

0:11:09 > 0:11:11He's invited the Swiss executioner for lunch.

0:11:12 > 0:11:14You can cover for me.

0:11:36 > 0:11:38I understand why you're upset, Tara.

0:11:40 > 0:11:43And I know that no-one can replace your dad.

0:11:44 > 0:11:46I'm not trying to do that.

0:11:46 > 0:11:47I can never do that.

0:11:47 > 0:11:49'Leave me alone!'

0:11:51 > 0:11:57Please, just try to understand that I love your mother very much.

0:11:59 > 0:12:01And for you to be there, at our wedding today,

0:12:01 > 0:12:03it would mean the world to us both.

0:12:03 > 0:12:05'Go to hell!'

0:12:10 > 0:12:13Please ladies, take a pew. Though, not literally!

0:12:13 > 0:12:16I've arranged some more conducive seating.

0:12:17 > 0:12:19It's very good of you to join me today,

0:12:19 > 0:12:24and I must apologise for last week's theatrics.

0:12:24 > 0:12:27We should recommend you to The Letherbridge Players!

0:12:27 > 0:12:31Yes, your performance was most convincing.

0:12:31 > 0:12:32If nothing else, Mrs Tembe,

0:12:32 > 0:12:35it cast a worthy light on your charitable nature.

0:12:35 > 0:12:40I only did what any decent, practising Christian would do.

0:12:40 > 0:12:41Indeed.

0:12:44 > 0:12:46Are you going to tell them, or shall I?

0:12:46 > 0:12:49Come on, Marie. We don't need Tara's permission.

0:12:49 > 0:12:51Not her permission. Her blessing.

0:12:51 > 0:12:55OK. I understand.

0:12:58 > 0:13:00Too many of England's once thriving churches

0:13:00 > 0:13:03are in thrall to outmoded traditions.

0:13:03 > 0:13:05Soon, the Church of England

0:13:05 > 0:13:08may be little more than a network of museums,

0:13:08 > 0:13:10administered by The National Trust.

0:13:10 > 0:13:13That's a bit strong, isn't it?

0:13:13 > 0:13:15We are not in the heritage business...

0:13:17 > 0:13:20..and there can be little value in preaching to the converted.

0:13:20 > 0:13:21Wouldn't you agree?

0:13:21 > 0:13:23Well, yes, but that goes without saying, doesn't it?

0:13:23 > 0:13:25You would think so.

0:13:25 > 0:13:28But some ministers seem to regard a full congregation

0:13:28 > 0:13:31as an inconvenience, rather than a necessity.

0:13:34 > 0:13:35I am not amongst them.

0:13:37 > 0:13:40I gather you managed to double your congregation

0:13:40 > 0:13:43in your previous church, Reverend.

0:13:43 > 0:13:46You've done your research, Mrs Tembe!

0:13:46 > 0:13:48And yes, false modesty aside,

0:13:48 > 0:13:51I'm happy to acknowledge that success.

0:13:53 > 0:13:56And I hope to encourage a similar effect here.

0:13:58 > 0:14:01To that end, I have one or two suggestions.

0:14:03 > 0:14:07I understand that you still use the original King James Bible?

0:14:07 > 0:14:10Yes. That's not so unusual, is it?

0:14:10 > 0:14:13A modern version would be more accessible,

0:14:13 > 0:14:14especially for newcomers.

0:14:16 > 0:14:17Or do you disagree?

0:14:19 > 0:14:25I, for one, am devoted to King James in its original form.

0:14:27 > 0:14:28I see.

0:14:30 > 0:14:36Nevertheless, we should not cloud our judgement.

0:14:36 > 0:14:42And perhaps a modern version might be suitable for some services.

0:14:46 > 0:14:48# Found myself today

0:14:48 > 0:14:51# Singing out loud your name

0:14:51 > 0:14:54# You said I'm crazy

0:14:54 > 0:14:59# If I am, I'm crazy for you

0:15:02 > 0:15:06# Sometimes sitting in the dark

0:15:06 > 0:15:08# Wishing you were here

0:15:08 > 0:15:11# Turns me crazy

0:15:11 > 0:15:17# But it's you who makes me lose my head

0:15:19 > 0:15:24# And every time I'm meant to be acting sensible

0:15:24 > 0:15:27# You drift into my head

0:15:27 > 0:15:31# And turn me into a crumbling fool. #

0:15:36 > 0:15:38Marie!

0:15:38 > 0:15:40You HAVE told them?

0:15:40 > 0:15:42- I told them there's been a delay.- What?

0:15:42 > 0:15:45Dr Granger phoned me. He's gone round to the house.

0:15:45 > 0:15:47Maybe he can talk some sense into Tara.

0:15:50 > 0:15:53These short-sighted ideas won't bolster his flock,

0:15:53 > 0:15:56just drive away the existing parishioners.

0:15:56 > 0:15:59First that fancy dress caper, and now this.

0:15:59 > 0:16:01The man's a lunatic!

0:16:01 > 0:16:04Are we all refreshed and ready to resume?

0:16:04 > 0:16:05Splendid!

0:16:16 > 0:16:20Mrs Tembe said something to me during the break

0:16:20 > 0:16:22which I found most interesting.

0:16:24 > 0:16:27She said the church could be much more child-friendly.

0:16:30 > 0:16:34"A truly welcoming environment for the next generation."

0:16:34 > 0:16:35I hope I haven't misquoted you?

0:16:35 > 0:16:39No, not at all. Those were my exact words.

0:16:39 > 0:16:43I thought so. And I couldn't agree more.

0:16:43 > 0:16:46Children should be able to take communion before confirmation,

0:16:46 > 0:16:48of course they should.

0:16:48 > 0:16:53And we can enable a more flexible and relaxed seating arrangement

0:16:53 > 0:16:55by simply removing the pews.

0:16:55 > 0:16:58This will create the kind of child-friendly atmosphere

0:16:58 > 0:17:00Mrs Tembe suggests.

0:17:00 > 0:17:01Excuse me!

0:17:04 > 0:17:06Can I make my position very clear?

0:17:06 > 0:17:07But, of course.

0:17:07 > 0:17:12Allowing children to take communion is a denial of the sacrament.

0:17:13 > 0:17:16And as for removing these beautiful pews...

0:17:17 > 0:17:21..why, that is an act of wanton vandalism.

0:17:21 > 0:17:25It isn't the pews which make a church, Mrs Tembe, but its people.

0:17:25 > 0:17:28I support the drive to attract younger parishioners,

0:17:28 > 0:17:30of course I do.

0:17:30 > 0:17:34But that is not to say that we should transform our church

0:17:34 > 0:17:35into an open-plan youth club.

0:17:37 > 0:17:41Nor should we abandon the cornerstones of our faith

0:17:41 > 0:17:42in a quest to broaden its appeal.

0:17:42 > 0:17:45Hear, hear! Very well put!

0:17:50 > 0:17:52Tara?

0:18:02 > 0:18:06As I say, even the most simplest task is now almost beyond me.

0:18:06 > 0:18:08I don't know which is worse,

0:18:08 > 0:18:11the lack of control or the loss of dignity.

0:18:14 > 0:18:16Timothy, this is Emma. My wife.

0:18:16 > 0:18:18Please, call me Tim.

0:18:18 > 0:18:20You haven't come all the way from Geneva, have you?

0:18:20 > 0:18:23Oh, no. I'm mainly based in the UK.

0:18:23 > 0:18:25But my work takes me all over Europe.

0:18:25 > 0:18:27Your work?

0:18:27 > 0:18:29We're a purely philanthropic organisation,

0:18:29 > 0:18:31with no commercial interests.

0:18:31 > 0:18:33The kettle's just boiled.

0:18:33 > 0:18:35Why don't we make Tim a cup of tea?

0:18:35 > 0:18:38- How do you take it? - Oh, just a little milk, thanks.

0:18:38 > 0:18:41So, um, how did you get involved?

0:18:41 > 0:18:43- Excuse me?- With the clinic.

0:18:44 > 0:18:46Oh, it's a long story.

0:18:46 > 0:18:50My father suffered from motor neurone disease, and, uh...

0:18:50 > 0:18:53And how many deaths are you personally responsible for?

0:18:53 > 0:18:54Em!

0:18:55 > 0:18:57I'm just curious.

0:18:57 > 0:19:01I mean, how does somebody get involved in this line of work?

0:19:01 > 0:19:05Was it a boyhood dream to become the Grim Reaper's right-hand man?!

0:19:05 > 0:19:09My mother died when I was very young.

0:19:09 > 0:19:12My father developed motor neurone disease when I was 15,

0:19:12 > 0:19:14and I was his main carer.

0:19:14 > 0:19:20He was desperate to end his life, but there was nothing we could do,

0:19:20 > 0:19:24until eventually, Clemence helped to end his suffering.

0:19:24 > 0:19:27It was a long and painful process,

0:19:27 > 0:19:30but it doesn't have to be like that for everyone.

0:19:30 > 0:19:31I'm sorry.

0:19:32 > 0:19:35It's just that I'm finding it rather difficult

0:19:35 > 0:19:37to get my head around all this.

0:19:37 > 0:19:41Here you are, conspiring to murder my husband,

0:19:41 > 0:19:43and I'm supposed to cheerfully ask

0:19:43 > 0:19:46whether you would like one lump or two!

0:19:46 > 0:19:48It's so...British.

0:19:48 > 0:19:50I understand how upsetting this must be for you.

0:19:50 > 0:19:52No, no, no.

0:19:52 > 0:19:54Please don't tell me you know how I feel.

0:19:54 > 0:19:55Because you don't.

0:19:55 > 0:19:58You can't.

0:19:59 > 0:20:02Tara? Can you hear me?

0:20:02 > 0:20:04Dad?

0:20:04 > 0:20:06- Dad!- Where are you?

0:20:06 > 0:20:08I knew you'd come!

0:20:08 > 0:20:09Go away!

0:20:10 > 0:20:13Tara, you need help.

0:20:13 > 0:20:15You don't belong here.

0:20:15 > 0:20:17I'm building a den. It's not for you.

0:20:17 > 0:20:19OK, who's it for?

0:20:20 > 0:20:21For me and Dad.

0:20:24 > 0:20:26And this drawing?

0:20:33 > 0:20:36OK. Would it be all right if I take copies of these?

0:20:36 > 0:20:38Sure, no problem.

0:20:38 > 0:20:42I'll need to check your suitability with the Geneva office.

0:20:42 > 0:20:45Strictly speaking, you are not terminally ill,

0:20:45 > 0:20:47- and that might be an issue. - Of course it's an issue.

0:20:47 > 0:20:50- Why?- You're not suitable.

0:20:50 > 0:20:52Your condition isn't terminal.

0:20:52 > 0:20:57My CONDITIONS. I have several, none of which are very promising.

0:20:57 > 0:20:59My situation IS terminal.

0:20:59 > 0:21:01No question.

0:21:01 > 0:21:04In the event that we can help you, Clemence would require

0:21:04 > 0:21:07legally admissible proof of your wish to die.

0:21:09 > 0:21:11Normally, this is a signed affidavit

0:21:11 > 0:21:16and it needs to be countersigned by two independent witnesses.

0:21:16 > 0:21:17We would also need to arrange

0:21:17 > 0:21:19at least one more face-to-face meeting

0:21:19 > 0:21:23- with either myself or another member of our team.- Fine.

0:21:24 > 0:21:27Thank you again for your time and input.

0:21:27 > 0:21:29It's been a most illuminating discussion

0:21:29 > 0:21:31and I'm looking forward to the challenge...

0:21:33 > 0:21:37..to the PROSPECT of working with you over the coming months.

0:21:37 > 0:21:38Thank you.

0:21:46 > 0:21:50That's very kind, Mrs Tembe, but please leave all this to me.

0:21:50 > 0:21:52Very well.

0:21:56 > 0:21:59You are a skilful politician, reverend.

0:21:59 > 0:22:00Excuse me?

0:22:00 > 0:22:03You are a clever man,

0:22:03 > 0:22:08with your cunning disguises and your devious flattery.

0:22:10 > 0:22:12But let me tell you this.

0:22:13 > 0:22:17Anyone who thinks they can put words into my mouth

0:22:17 > 0:22:19will soon regret it!

0:22:21 > 0:22:22Good afternoon.

0:22:26 > 0:22:27He's here somewhere.

0:22:28 > 0:22:30Hiding out.

0:22:30 > 0:22:32Things got a bit messy at home,

0:22:32 > 0:22:35so he's just decided to lie low for a while.

0:22:36 > 0:22:38This isn't you, is it?

0:22:39 > 0:22:41It isn't anything.

0:22:41 > 0:22:43It's him, your dad.

0:22:43 > 0:22:45What do you want? Just get lost!

0:22:47 > 0:22:49You know what he did, don't you? You've drawn it here.

0:22:53 > 0:22:56These fantasies won't bring him back, Tara.

0:22:56 > 0:22:58Is this your way of honouring him?

0:22:58 > 0:23:00By pretending he's still alive?

0:23:00 > 0:23:03How could he do it?

0:23:05 > 0:23:09How could he kill himself when he knew how much I loved him?

0:23:09 > 0:23:11And needed him?

0:23:11 > 0:23:14Your father had a terrible illness.

0:23:14 > 0:23:17He always seemed like a happy person.

0:23:17 > 0:23:19He probably was happy, for much of his life.

0:23:19 > 0:23:21I don't recognise that man.

0:23:21 > 0:23:23The man who did this.

0:23:25 > 0:23:26But you DO know that he did it?

0:23:35 > 0:23:36Yes.

0:23:41 > 0:23:42I know what he did.

0:23:42 > 0:23:45It doesn't alter the fact that he loved you and your mum.

0:23:45 > 0:23:49Do you know what? He'd have wanted you to move on from what happened.

0:23:49 > 0:23:50Mum's already moved on.

0:23:51 > 0:23:53She doesn't care about Dad or me.

0:23:54 > 0:23:56Do you really believe that?

0:24:01 > 0:24:03Do you have any other questions?

0:24:03 > 0:24:05Um, yes, I do, actually.

0:24:05 > 0:24:06It's more of a personal matter.

0:24:06 > 0:24:08Well, not that this isn't all personal...

0:24:08 > 0:24:12Both Emma and myself are very worried about when, how,

0:24:12 > 0:24:16we should explain the situation to our son, Chris.

0:24:16 > 0:24:18Hold on.

0:24:18 > 0:24:20I'm not worried about that.

0:24:22 > 0:24:24Because this isn't going to happen.

0:24:24 > 0:24:28This meeting was about if, not when.

0:24:28 > 0:24:31And we've already established that you're not a suitable candidate.

0:24:31 > 0:24:34We'll let the clinic decided that, won't we?

0:24:34 > 0:24:39The issue of how and when to tell loved ones is always difficult.

0:24:39 > 0:24:42I would recommend a free and frank discussion,

0:24:42 > 0:24:43sooner rather than later.

0:24:45 > 0:24:48I can't believe you're going to tell Chris.

0:24:50 > 0:24:51It'll destroy him.

0:24:52 > 0:24:54He's not a child.

0:24:54 > 0:24:56He deals with death every day.

0:24:56 > 0:24:58As a practice nurse?

0:24:59 > 0:25:01Hardly!

0:25:01 > 0:25:03It'll be tough, but he'll cope.

0:25:04 > 0:25:07I think you'll find he takes the news

0:25:07 > 0:25:09a lot better than you expect.

0:25:11 > 0:25:15I agreed to indulge this because I thought that the cold reality

0:25:15 > 0:25:17would knock some sense into you.

0:25:17 > 0:25:21On the contrary, it's made me see things a lot clearer.

0:25:23 > 0:25:25I have hope now.

0:25:27 > 0:25:29I agree. I think you're right.

0:25:29 > 0:25:31I think we should tell him sooner rather than later.

0:25:31 > 0:25:33I'll...

0:25:33 > 0:25:35let him know by the end of the week.

0:25:52 > 0:25:55- Where is everyone? - They've gone home.

0:25:55 > 0:25:56Have I missed it?

0:25:56 > 0:26:00No. How could I get married, without you?

0:26:00 > 0:26:01I'm really sorry.

0:26:01 > 0:26:04It doesn't matter. You're here now.

0:26:04 > 0:26:06Let's go home, shall we?

0:26:06 > 0:26:08Yeah. Let's go home.

0:26:08 > 0:26:10It may take a few days for head office to get back to me,

0:26:10 > 0:26:12but I'll keep you posted.

0:26:12 > 0:26:16Great, well thanks for your time, Tim. It's very much appreciated.

0:26:16 > 0:26:18- Goodbye.- Bye.

0:26:18 > 0:26:19Goodbye, Mrs Reid. Nice to meet you.

0:26:19 > 0:26:21It's Dr Reid.

0:26:21 > 0:26:24Of course, my mistake.

0:26:24 > 0:26:25Goodbye.

0:26:31 > 0:26:32I'm going to do this, Emma.

0:26:44 > 0:26:47Yes, I'm aware I'm a partner, Howard, but I'm a doctor too.

0:26:47 > 0:26:49I didn't exactly train in personnel.

0:26:49 > 0:26:51Same old, same old.

0:26:51 > 0:26:54What were you expecting? Leprosy and rabies?

0:26:54 > 0:26:55Wouldn't that be amazing?!

0:27:01 > 0:27:04I have thought that he might be having an affair.
