0:00:47 > 0:00:49I'd like to register with the Mill.

0:00:49 > 0:00:52No problem, I need to get some details from you first.

0:00:52 > 0:00:53One of us needs nursing care.

0:00:53 > 0:00:56Can we get a house call from one of the nurses?

0:00:56 > 0:01:00It's probably best you come in and register with us first.

0:01:00 > 0:01:02Oh, she can't come in. She can't leave the house.

0:01:02 > 0:01:06OK. Sorry to hear that. What's wrong with her?

0:01:06 > 0:01:08That's not a problem.

0:01:08 > 0:01:11Morning! Oh, morning. All right.

0:01:11 > 0:01:14Could you snap out of it? I'm fine.

0:01:14 > 0:01:17I'm going to pick up some stuff, then I'm going to the campus,

0:01:17 > 0:01:19so not only do you not have to tell me anything,

0:01:19 > 0:01:21you don't have to see me either.

0:01:23 > 0:01:27One day, some very clever person will invent a switch

0:01:27 > 0:01:30that turns parents off, and they'll get filthy rich off it.

0:01:30 > 0:01:33And we won't begrudge them a penny. Sign me up for one.

0:01:33 > 0:01:36I can see my get-rich-quick plan taking shape.

0:01:47 > 0:01:50Couldn't agree more. I'll report these to security

0:01:50 > 0:01:53and get them taken down. Are you still coming to see...?

0:01:57 > 0:02:00She's a bit vague on details. She's not been with us before.

0:02:00 > 0:02:03She lives nearby? Yeah. Anyway, she wants to see a nurse.

0:02:03 > 0:02:06Who fancies it? What, you're going to bribe us with a 10p piece?

0:02:06 > 0:02:09Toss. Heads or tails?

0:02:09 > 0:02:10Tails.

0:02:10 > 0:02:12Aw!

0:02:12 > 0:02:14Don't forget to take a registration form.

0:02:14 > 0:02:16Please don't come back without it.

0:02:19 > 0:02:20Thank you!

0:02:25 > 0:02:27I usually see the guys.

0:02:27 > 0:02:30Right, well, today you're seeing one of the girls.

0:02:32 > 0:02:36I see you've had five consultations in the last year.

0:02:36 > 0:02:40I've been slaving over a hot laptop, working up a proposal.

0:02:40 > 0:02:42My finger hurts when I type.

0:02:42 > 0:02:44Can you describe the pain?

0:02:44 > 0:02:48Tingling, jagged, then numb sometimes too.

0:02:48 > 0:02:51See, I had to stop.

0:02:51 > 0:02:53I have a meeting with my tutor today,

0:02:53 > 0:02:55to submit my dissertation proposal.

0:02:55 > 0:02:57I need a note for the department.

0:02:57 > 0:02:59A fit note?

0:02:59 > 0:03:02Just... I can't finish it on time now.

0:03:02 > 0:03:05It's really too painful to type.

0:03:05 > 0:03:06Right.

0:03:06 > 0:03:11You've had fit notes before for migraine and RSI...

0:03:11 > 0:03:14The work's coming thick and fast. There's always something due in.

0:03:14 > 0:03:16PHONE RINGS

0:03:20 > 0:03:22I can't talk. I'll call you back.

0:03:31 > 0:03:34Hi, Vanessa. I'm Nurse Mandy Marquez from the Mill. Oh, hi.

0:03:34 > 0:03:35Yeah. Come in.

0:03:44 > 0:03:48First things first, you need to fill in this.

0:03:48 > 0:03:50The NHS loves its forms!

0:03:50 > 0:03:53JESS SINGS ALONG TO MUSIC Jess? Jess, love?

0:03:53 > 0:03:55# The way you smile at... #

0:03:55 > 0:03:57Mum!

0:03:57 > 0:04:01Hi, Jess. I'm Mandy. I'm a nurse.

0:04:01 > 0:04:04And I've got a confession to make.

0:04:04 > 0:04:06I love One Direction too.

0:04:07 > 0:04:10So, you've been ill?

0:04:10 > 0:04:12I...I get these sores.

0:04:12 > 0:04:16OK, I'll have a look.

0:04:16 > 0:04:18And you can tell me more about your music, OK?

0:04:21 > 0:04:22PHONE RINGS

0:04:22 > 0:04:24Dr Reid.

0:04:24 > 0:04:27Hi, I'm Amy Carslaw, Carol Butcher's personal tutor.

0:04:27 > 0:04:30Carol's just forwarded a sick note from you.

0:04:30 > 0:04:32It's a fit note, but yes.

0:04:32 > 0:04:35How serious do you think this is? Is she really in pain?

0:04:35 > 0:04:37Sorry, I can't discuss that.

0:04:37 > 0:04:40It's just, she's had quite a few notes from your practice.

0:04:40 > 0:04:44As I said, patient confidentiality. Is there anything else?

0:04:44 > 0:04:45No. Thank you.

0:04:50 > 0:04:53And Mum gets me loads of DVDs to watch too.

0:04:53 > 0:04:57I've got Twilight, all of them, Harry Potter...

0:04:57 > 0:04:58All of them?

0:04:58 > 0:05:01MANDY LAUGHS

0:05:01 > 0:05:03Titanic. Leonardo's lush.

0:05:03 > 0:05:05Not my type.

0:05:05 > 0:05:07Mum saw it loads when it came out.

0:05:07 > 0:05:10I watched it loads more times than Mum. How many?

0:05:10 > 0:05:1332. Wow! Do you watch it with your mates?

0:05:15 > 0:05:17I've got that form. Thank you.

0:05:19 > 0:05:23Vanessa, Jess is suffering from intertrigo and pressure sores.

0:05:23 > 0:05:26I'm not saying that you don't,

0:05:26 > 0:05:29but her sheets need changing regularly to prevent infection.

0:05:29 > 0:05:32I do change them, every day.

0:05:33 > 0:05:35OK.

0:05:35 > 0:05:37Right, I need to go and make a quick phone call.

0:05:41 > 0:05:43PHONE RINGS

0:05:45 > 0:05:46Mandy?

0:05:46 > 0:05:50'That house call, it's...more complicated than I thought.

0:05:50 > 0:05:53'Look, I've got some patients coming in 45 minutes.

0:05:53 > 0:05:56'Any chance you could deal with them while I sort this out?' Erm...

0:05:56 > 0:05:59Yeah, yeah. I should be able to.

0:05:59 > 0:06:02'You're a star!' OK.

0:06:02 > 0:06:05'I'll see you later.' All right.

0:06:05 > 0:06:07KNOCK AT THE DOOR

0:06:07 > 0:06:08Come in.

0:06:09 > 0:06:13Nurse Reid, do not forget about your appointment with Dr Carter later...

0:06:13 > 0:06:14I'm hardly going to forget, am I?

0:06:17 > 0:06:20Wait. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to...

0:06:21 > 0:06:24I'm going to have to reschedule. Mandy's stuck on a house call.

0:06:32 > 0:06:35Dr Reid. I'm Amy Carslaw.

0:06:35 > 0:06:39I called you earlier about one of my students, Carol Butcher. Oh.

0:06:39 > 0:06:44Carol's studying a joint honours in women's studies, where I teach, and psychology.

0:06:44 > 0:06:47The dates of her medical extensions and approved absences

0:06:47 > 0:06:50correspond exactly to when major coursework was due.

0:06:50 > 0:06:54Many students would argue that there's always major coursework due.

0:06:54 > 0:06:56And they have a fair point.

0:06:56 > 0:06:58And you've spoken to her about this?

0:06:59 > 0:07:01I saw Carol pulling these off lamp posts

0:07:01 > 0:07:04and notice boards around campus.

0:07:04 > 0:07:07Adult entertainment. A stripper.

0:07:07 > 0:07:09I called that number.

0:07:09 > 0:07:13I wanted to warn her about advertising her wares on campus.

0:07:13 > 0:07:14Carol answered.

0:07:16 > 0:07:19The one piece of work that Carol aced this year

0:07:19 > 0:07:21was an essay on men who frequent strip clubs.

0:07:21 > 0:07:26It was insightful, thought out, it felt authentically researched.

0:07:26 > 0:07:27She didn't get it out of books.

0:07:29 > 0:07:31I think Carol is this Bree.

0:07:31 > 0:07:34Then why would she tear down her own flyers?

0:07:34 > 0:07:37Maybe she didn't put them up.

0:07:37 > 0:07:39Maybe the university is too close to home.

0:07:39 > 0:07:40She'd be recognised.

0:07:42 > 0:07:45I need to make sure that these medical conditions are real.

0:07:45 > 0:07:47Her studies are suffering.

0:07:47 > 0:07:50I'm afraid I cannot give you access to Carol's history

0:07:50 > 0:07:52or her medical records.

0:07:52 > 0:07:55Look, I'm trying to help you out.

0:07:55 > 0:07:58If it turns out your practice has been dishing out fit notes

0:07:58 > 0:08:01without proper investigation, there could be serious consequences.

0:08:01 > 0:08:03We do not "dish out" fit notes.

0:08:10 > 0:08:14I'm concerned, Vanessa. The pressure sores look infected.

0:08:16 > 0:08:18I'll do what I can, but.... I try to keep them clean,

0:08:18 > 0:08:21but it's hard to do that and support her weight.

0:08:21 > 0:08:23Maybe you should've got some help.

0:08:25 > 0:08:28Don't worry. It's all fixable.

0:08:28 > 0:08:30You're so much nicer than the others.

0:08:30 > 0:08:31What others?

0:08:31 > 0:08:33Mum!

0:08:33 > 0:08:36Does she never have friends come round?

0:08:36 > 0:08:38The girls at her school, they weren't nice to her.

0:08:45 > 0:08:47PHONE RINGS

0:08:47 > 0:08:50The Mill Health Centre. Mrs Tembe, it's Emma.

0:08:50 > 0:08:52'Dr Reid.' Is Jimmi there?

0:08:52 > 0:08:55I'm afraid he is with a patient.

0:08:55 > 0:08:58Is there another doctor who can help you?

0:08:58 > 0:08:59'Who's free?'

0:08:59 > 0:09:02Well, Dr Carmichael is with me.

0:09:03 > 0:09:05Emma? Problem?

0:09:05 > 0:09:07No...

0:09:07 > 0:09:08Yes.

0:09:08 > 0:09:09Which?

0:09:09 > 0:09:12There's a patient, a student.

0:09:12 > 0:09:15Her tutor thinks she's been using us to get fit notes

0:09:15 > 0:09:18because she's behind on her coursework.

0:09:18 > 0:09:22She's doing women's studies. The tutor thinks she's fallen behind

0:09:22 > 0:09:24'because she's a stripper.' What do you think?

0:09:24 > 0:09:28Well, her tutor's definitely one of the sisterhood.

0:09:28 > 0:09:31Stripping offends her, really offends her.

0:09:31 > 0:09:35It offends me, but that's more to do with the inadequate little boys in the audience.

0:09:35 > 0:09:39This tutor, is she a joyless feminazi?

0:09:39 > 0:09:42Probably. She thinks we've been dishing out fit notes like sweets

0:09:42 > 0:09:44and she is just the type to kick up a stink.

0:09:44 > 0:09:46OK, you get in there,

0:09:46 > 0:09:50and you make damn sure that there is no possibility of any allegations

0:09:50 > 0:09:53that we've been anything less than thorough at this practice.

0:09:53 > 0:09:54Whenever I'm in this position,

0:09:54 > 0:09:57I make damn sure the patient is actually ill.

0:09:57 > 0:09:58So do I.

0:09:58 > 0:10:00Look, I'm sure it'll be fine.

0:10:00 > 0:10:03You need to make absolutely sure. Just deal with it.

0:10:07 > 0:10:08SHE SIGHS

0:10:09 > 0:10:12VOICE ECHOES: It was about this time last year

0:10:12 > 0:10:13and my mum was going on and...

0:10:13 > 0:10:15VOICE FADES

0:10:17 > 0:10:18It's all starting again!

0:10:18 > 0:10:20I'm so, so sorry. Erm...

0:10:26 > 0:10:29Sorry, I wasn't feeling too hot there for a second.

0:10:29 > 0:10:30It's my blood sugar.

0:10:32 > 0:10:35Will you start again for me, please?

0:10:35 > 0:10:39Yeah, I remember her. Pretty, very pretty. And she knew it.

0:10:39 > 0:10:42You must see lots of pretty girls at the campus. Why did she stick out?

0:10:42 > 0:10:46The pretty ones are usually self-absorbed. But she was...

0:10:48 > 0:10:49..present.

0:10:49 > 0:10:51She was flirting with you?

0:10:51 > 0:10:54Did you do any further investigations into her health?

0:10:54 > 0:10:56What did I give her the note for?

0:10:56 > 0:10:59RSI. Then what's there to investigate?

0:10:59 > 0:11:01If the patient gives us a case history,

0:11:01 > 0:11:03I'm not going to call her a liar, am I?

0:11:04 > 0:11:06Did you investigate this morning?

0:11:07 > 0:11:10Howard would hit the roof if we did that every time.

0:11:10 > 0:11:13That's pretty much what Al said.

0:11:13 > 0:11:15Oh! You got them?

0:11:15 > 0:11:16Yeah. Have you seen Chris?

0:11:16 > 0:11:19He saw out his last patient, then he went back to the nurse's room.

0:11:19 > 0:11:23It's locked. Can you get him to phone me? It's important.

0:11:23 > 0:11:24Yes, of course.

0:11:31 > 0:11:33KNOCK AT THE DOOR

0:11:33 > 0:11:35MRS TEMBE: Nurse Reid?

0:11:38 > 0:11:40MORE KNOCKING

0:11:52 > 0:11:55So if you carry on twice a day, that should take care of it. Thank you.

0:11:55 > 0:11:57It's a pleasure. Oh, sorry.

0:11:59 > 0:12:02Nurse Reid has cancelled his appointment.

0:12:02 > 0:12:04Hopefully, that means his problem has gone away.

0:12:04 > 0:12:08Something is troubling him. Something he is not dealing with.

0:12:08 > 0:12:12Well, you can lead a horse to water... Indeed.

0:12:12 > 0:12:16But sometimes a tidal wave will find the horse. No?

0:12:17 > 0:12:20If Mohammed will not come to the mountain...

0:12:20 > 0:12:23Does that mean I'm a tidal wave mountain?

0:12:24 > 0:12:27I have seen the awesome might of the tidal wave

0:12:27 > 0:12:30and the righteousness of the mountain in you.

0:12:31 > 0:12:32Where's this going?

0:12:35 > 0:12:38Yep. I've still got papers to mark.

0:12:38 > 0:12:41But once they're done, I'll e-mail the marks through.

0:12:45 > 0:12:47Sorry, I didn't catch that.

0:12:48 > 0:12:49Yep.

0:12:51 > 0:12:52What have you told her?!

0:12:52 > 0:12:54It's OK.

0:12:54 > 0:12:55Amy Carslaw. You call me,

0:12:55 > 0:12:59then she left a message that she wants to talk about my sick note. What have you said to her?

0:12:59 > 0:13:00She came to see me.

0:13:00 > 0:13:03She thinks there's a link between your illnesses and your coursework.

0:13:03 > 0:13:06The same day you give me a hard time about it.

0:13:06 > 0:13:09I did not give you a hard time and I didn't say anything to her.

0:13:13 > 0:13:16She's had gallstones and taken medication for it,

0:13:16 > 0:13:19sleep apnoea, the fungal skin problems.

0:13:19 > 0:13:23I'm at my wit's end. I mean, I can't remember the last time

0:13:23 > 0:13:26she was just a normal girl without any health problems.

0:13:26 > 0:13:29Well, basically, that's all weight-related.

0:13:29 > 0:13:33I tried every diet. Nothing works.

0:13:33 > 0:13:36Some people are just big, aren't they?

0:13:36 > 0:13:38Glands or genes...

0:13:39 > 0:13:43Look at me, I'm not exactly a size zero.

0:13:43 > 0:13:46Vanessa, you have to take responsibility.

0:13:46 > 0:13:50If we can get her weight down, she'll be more mobile,

0:13:50 > 0:13:52get her out of her bed,

0:13:52 > 0:13:55and the pressure sores and intertrigo will improve massively.

0:13:55 > 0:13:57But I don't know what to do.

0:13:57 > 0:14:00You wouldn't believe how little she eats.

0:14:00 > 0:14:04What she eats and how much she exercises are much more important.

0:14:04 > 0:14:06Let's see if we can come up with something that works.

0:14:06 > 0:14:10Get all the information about the diets you've tried so far.

0:14:10 > 0:14:11We'll go through, and...

0:14:13 > 0:14:16We will help Jess, OK?

0:14:16 > 0:14:19Why couldn't the other doctors and nurses be like you?

0:14:19 > 0:14:21You're so positive.

0:14:21 > 0:14:25Well, you know, I keep telling my manager I need a pay rise

0:14:25 > 0:14:26but he never listens!

0:14:26 > 0:14:29I could do with a cuppa. You?

0:14:29 > 0:14:31Mmm. Tea. Three sugars.

0:14:31 > 0:14:33Well, I never said I was perfect!

0:14:36 > 0:14:38You think I'm a stripper?! Well? Are you?

0:14:38 > 0:14:40What business is it of ours?

0:14:40 > 0:14:42If it affects her studies, then yes, I have to ask.

0:14:42 > 0:14:44Nothing is affecting my studies.

0:14:44 > 0:14:46So what's your dissertation topic?

0:14:46 > 0:14:50So, you still haven't chosen one. And your marks have dipped.

0:14:50 > 0:14:51PHONE RINGS

0:14:51 > 0:14:53Can you tell her I'm with a patient?

0:14:53 > 0:14:55The university would be sympathetic.

0:14:55 > 0:14:58Yeah, right(!) They're a bunch of unreconstructed old boys.

0:14:58 > 0:15:01They won't be happy about students stripping. Bad publicity.

0:15:01 > 0:15:03You're right, they're Neanderthals.

0:15:03 > 0:15:08Which is why you could do with some friends in the Women's Studies department fighting your corner.

0:15:08 > 0:15:11I could be your friend, but you have to be honest.

0:15:11 > 0:15:13Full disclosure.

0:15:13 > 0:15:16I'm not a stripper. I'm not a sex worker. Happy?

0:15:16 > 0:15:19Then why are you answering a stripper's phone?

0:15:19 > 0:15:21You've got all the sick notes! What's the problem?

0:15:21 > 0:15:23But will they stand up to scrutiny?

0:15:23 > 0:15:26I'm sorry, are you accusing me of being unprofessional?

0:15:26 > 0:15:28PHONE RINGS

0:15:28 > 0:15:30I've said I'm with a patient.

0:15:30 > 0:15:33What? Hang on.

0:15:34 > 0:15:36There's someone to see you. Bree?

0:15:39 > 0:15:41That was the name on the flyer.

0:15:43 > 0:15:46Come in. Any more problems, just pop yourself straight back to see me.

0:15:49 > 0:15:51You missed your appointment.

0:15:51 > 0:15:53I had to cover for Mandy.

0:15:53 > 0:15:54I'm free now, if you are.

0:15:56 > 0:15:58I know seeing a colleague can be a bit awkward.

0:15:58 > 0:16:02I take it you don't want to see your old GP? No.

0:16:02 > 0:16:06We medical professionals can make the worst patients.

0:16:06 > 0:16:09If you're having second thoughts about me, I quite understand.

0:16:10 > 0:16:12I could always refer you to Zara.

0:16:13 > 0:16:15And yes, that is a threat.

0:16:25 > 0:16:27Heston!

0:16:31 > 0:16:33Cheers.

0:16:35 > 0:16:37You must be hungry.

0:16:37 > 0:16:39Mum! Back in a second.

0:16:45 > 0:16:48Come on, we're going to be late. Carol, do not walk out on this.

0:16:48 > 0:16:52If this goes any further... Is she the one hassling you? Uh...

0:16:52 > 0:16:53And who are you?

0:16:53 > 0:16:57My...my friend.

0:16:57 > 0:16:58She...

0:16:59 > 0:17:01I, um...

0:17:01 > 0:17:02It's fine. We get it.

0:17:02 > 0:17:04Let's go. Is this you?

0:17:06 > 0:17:09Yes. Problem?

0:17:09 > 0:17:12Were you flyposting for your stripper girlfriend on campus?

0:17:12 > 0:17:13No! I put them up.

0:17:13 > 0:17:16I really don't care what you think of me.

0:17:16 > 0:17:18We need to go to Leeds.

0:17:18 > 0:17:19We're not done. We are.

0:17:19 > 0:17:22You lied to Dr Reid to get excused from coursework.

0:17:22 > 0:17:23That is not what I said.

0:17:23 > 0:17:26This Leeds thing you're rushing off to - stripping?

0:17:28 > 0:17:30I will make this official.

0:17:31 > 0:17:35And what's your alternative career plan? Diplomacy?

0:17:35 > 0:17:38I'm trying to educate young women into standing up for themselves

0:17:38 > 0:17:41and losing a student to...

0:17:41 > 0:17:43This goes against everything I teach.

0:17:50 > 0:17:53Is it something I won't have dealt with before?

0:17:56 > 0:17:58It's probably not as bad as you think.

0:18:00 > 0:18:03I've got a lump. On my testicle.

0:18:03 > 0:18:07I first noticed it a few weeks ago.

0:18:07 > 0:18:09OK. I should examine it. Have a seat.

0:18:10 > 0:18:12Any pain when you pass water?

0:18:12 > 0:18:14Uh, no.

0:18:14 > 0:18:16Left or right?

0:18:17 > 0:18:19It's the left.

0:18:19 > 0:18:20The sinistrum.

0:18:22 > 0:18:23Is there a problem?

0:18:23 > 0:18:26No, I'm just hoping Mrs Tembe doesn't burst in.

0:18:27 > 0:18:30My mum's granddad died of testicular cancer.

0:18:30 > 0:18:32I know what's going to happen.

0:18:32 > 0:18:34I mean, I deserve it, I mean...

0:18:35 > 0:18:38I just hope I can deal with it as well as my dad.

0:18:38 > 0:18:39You're getting ahead of yourself.

0:18:41 > 0:18:43OK, there is a lump.

0:18:43 > 0:18:47And a family history of testicular cancer can be significant.

0:18:47 > 0:18:52But it's much more likely to be a varicocele or an epididymal cyst.

0:18:53 > 0:18:55Why do you think you deserve it?

0:18:55 > 0:18:57My dad.

0:19:00 > 0:19:01Sorry I asked.

0:19:11 > 0:19:13What?

0:19:13 > 0:19:15I can't run away from this.

0:19:16 > 0:19:19If Leeds goes well, I'll get loads of work.

0:19:19 > 0:19:21And she'll try to get me kicked out.

0:19:21 > 0:19:23So what? We don't need them.

0:19:23 > 0:19:25I put two years into this degree!

0:19:25 > 0:19:27I actually believe in what I'm doing.

0:19:27 > 0:19:29That's more important than one poxy show.

0:19:29 > 0:19:32I can't just throw it away.

0:19:32 > 0:19:35Give me the keys. I'll go do the show on my own.

0:19:35 > 0:19:38You sort them out. No! I'm not letting you go on your own.

0:19:38 > 0:19:39Why not?

0:19:41 > 0:19:44I...just can't.

0:19:46 > 0:19:48Come back with me. Please?

0:19:54 > 0:19:56Just putting me cup in the sink, Vanessa.

0:20:07 > 0:20:09What are you doing?

0:20:10 > 0:20:13Just wanted to see what Jess's diet was like.

0:20:14 > 0:20:18Let me guess. Fried, not scrambled?

0:20:18 > 0:20:21That's not a big lunch. I mean, she's just had a sandwich.

0:20:21 > 0:20:24Is that all for her? I'd struggle to eat that!

0:20:24 > 0:20:26And I've got an appetite!

0:20:26 > 0:20:28Fresh fruit, veg...

0:20:28 > 0:20:29Have you got any?

0:20:30 > 0:20:32Oh, Vanessa...

0:20:32 > 0:20:36I've got to be honest, Jess's diet is terrible.

0:20:36 > 0:20:39That's where we start. But that's what she likes.

0:20:39 > 0:20:42But it's not good for her. And you have responsibilities.

0:20:42 > 0:20:46But she's not been well. She needs to keep up her strength.

0:20:46 > 0:20:48It's a vicious circle.

0:20:48 > 0:20:51She's not well because she eats so much and so badly

0:20:51 > 0:20:53and she doesn't do any exercise.

0:20:53 > 0:20:56But we can deal with this... You think I'm a bad mother.

0:21:01 > 0:21:03I AM a feminist.

0:21:03 > 0:21:06Facilitating sex work? You've got a funny way of showing it.

0:21:06 > 0:21:11Carol, give me the keys. You don't need me to deal with this.

0:21:11 > 0:21:14OK, I'm not a feminist like you are, but...

0:21:15 > 0:21:17I fell in love with Bree.

0:21:19 > 0:21:21She's the opposite of everything I believe in,

0:21:21 > 0:21:24but you can't choose who you fall in love with.

0:21:24 > 0:21:28And don't ever call me a sex worker. I'm a dancer.

0:21:28 > 0:21:30What you do degrades women.

0:21:30 > 0:21:32You know nothing about what I do.

0:21:32 > 0:21:36The blokes can only look, nothing more. Carol's always there.

0:21:36 > 0:21:38She even takes my bookings.

0:21:38 > 0:21:39Why are you always there?

0:21:40 > 0:21:44The men, they hit on her, all the time, leering at her.

0:21:46 > 0:21:48Isn't leering the point?

0:21:48 > 0:21:52Bree, you were doing this before you two met? Yeah.

0:21:52 > 0:21:55And if the blokes cross the line, the bouncers kick them out.

0:21:55 > 0:21:57And when it's the bouncers?

0:21:57 > 0:22:01I'm not a relationship counsellor, but if it makes you so anxious...?

0:22:03 > 0:22:05I...

0:22:06 > 0:22:08I need the eggs. What?

0:22:10 > 0:22:12It's an old Woody Allen joke.

0:22:12 > 0:22:13Oh...him.

0:22:13 > 0:22:17A woman goes to a doctor and says, "My husband thinks he's a chicken."

0:22:17 > 0:22:20The doctor says, "Have you ever thought of having him sectioned?"

0:22:20 > 0:22:23And she says, "No. I need the eggs."

0:22:24 > 0:22:28Carol doesn't like what Bree does, but...

0:22:28 > 0:22:31Not the "degrading women" garbage again.

0:22:31 > 0:22:34But that isn't the reason Carol isn't happy, is it?

0:22:35 > 0:22:39Are you scared that she won't come back to you one night?

0:22:39 > 0:22:40Something like that.

0:22:42 > 0:22:44And yeah, I hate seeing her with those guys.

0:22:44 > 0:22:47But at least I...

0:22:47 > 0:22:49I know what's going on.

0:22:49 > 0:22:50You're jealous?

0:22:50 > 0:22:55That's not the point. You're doing a degree in women's studies.

0:22:55 > 0:22:58Women everywhere have to live with being seen as sex objects

0:22:58 > 0:23:00because places like these, dancers like...

0:23:03 > 0:23:05They give men a warped view of female sexuality.

0:23:05 > 0:23:07Oh, shut up!

0:23:07 > 0:23:10You've already given yourselves the solution. What solution?

0:23:10 > 0:23:13Being with you gives Carol an insight into a world

0:23:13 > 0:23:16that as an academic she would never normally see.

0:23:18 > 0:23:21When life gives you a lemon, make lemonade.

0:23:21 > 0:23:26Make this your thing. Make this your dissertation subject.

0:23:26 > 0:23:28Study Bree and her work.

0:23:28 > 0:23:29I'm not a lab rat.

0:23:31 > 0:23:33Look, Carol is suffering

0:23:33 > 0:23:35because two of the most important things in her life,

0:23:35 > 0:23:39you and her studies, are out of sync.

0:23:39 > 0:23:43This brings them into sync. It's a win-win.

0:23:43 > 0:23:44It has its merits.

0:23:46 > 0:23:49But it's not going to work unless you're committed.

0:23:49 > 0:23:52I love her. So...

0:23:52 > 0:23:57Yeah, whatever it takes to make her happy.

0:23:57 > 0:23:59All right. I'm in.

0:23:59 > 0:24:01So, can we go?

0:24:01 > 0:24:05Great. That's a solution for everybody. Agreed?

0:24:07 > 0:24:11The jealousy, well, you'll have to work that one out between yourselves.

0:24:15 > 0:24:17I really don't want my mum to know about this.

0:24:17 > 0:24:21I don't think she'd be able to cope, what with everything that's happened.

0:24:21 > 0:24:24Even if it is testicular cancer, it is treatable.

0:24:24 > 0:24:26Now, I'm going to book you in for an ultrasound.

0:24:26 > 0:24:27I'm sure it'll be fine,

0:24:27 > 0:24:30but it may take a week before you get a scan.

0:24:30 > 0:24:31Yeah, course it will.

0:24:31 > 0:24:34Relax. It's going to be OK.

0:24:36 > 0:24:37Thank you, Heston.

0:24:40 > 0:24:42Come on, we're already late.

0:24:43 > 0:24:45What?

0:24:47 > 0:24:49You've never said you loved me before.

0:24:51 > 0:24:53You know I love you.

0:24:54 > 0:24:58But you never said it. That's why I was...

0:24:58 > 0:25:00Why you were jealous?

0:25:09 > 0:25:11I love you so much.

0:25:12 > 0:25:14Now drive.

0:25:25 > 0:25:27KNOCK AT THE DOOR

0:25:27 > 0:25:28Vanessa?

0:25:30 > 0:25:32MORE KNOCKING

0:25:32 > 0:25:37I'm not judging, OK, but you can make some better decisions.

0:25:37 > 0:25:39Just let me in, please.

0:25:39 > 0:25:43Look, I know I've mucked up. But she's my baby.

0:25:43 > 0:25:45She's all I've got.

0:25:46 > 0:25:48I just want her to be happy.

0:25:48 > 0:25:50I can't say no to her.

0:25:59 > 0:26:01Look, you are not alone.

0:26:01 > 0:26:05I'm here to help. And there's lots we can do, but...

0:26:05 > 0:26:10I need to look at history. I need to speak to Jess's old practice.

0:26:10 > 0:26:12Please, don't do that. I've got to.

0:26:12 > 0:26:15I need to know what they did for Jess.

0:26:15 > 0:26:17There's no point in us doing the same thing as them.

0:26:17 > 0:26:21They're evil. Inhuman. They grassed us up to social services

0:26:21 > 0:26:23and now them and the social workers want to take Jess away.

0:26:23 > 0:26:25We just want someone on our side.

0:26:25 > 0:26:28Please, Mandy, can you help us?

0:26:36 > 0:26:42You know that patient, Jess? She's 14 and she's morbidly obese.

0:26:42 > 0:26:44You are late! I'm locked out of the house.

0:26:45 > 0:26:49No... You think this is funny, do you? How old are you?

0:26:49 > 0:26:54They want me to live away from Mum in case I die.

0:26:54 > 0:26:55I can't believe you.

0:26:55 > 0:26:59For a moment, I actually thought you were a decent human being.
