0:00:53 > 0:00:55AUTOMATED VOICE: Please leave your message after the tone.

0:00:55 > 0:00:57MESSAGE TONE

0:00:57 > 0:00:59'Pick up the phone, big man. We know you're in there.

0:00:59 > 0:01:01'And we're going to smash our way in,

0:01:01 > 0:01:03'and cut you up like the vermin you are.

0:01:03 > 0:01:05'It's only a matter of time.'

0:01:12 > 0:01:14Look, I really think we should do this.

0:01:14 > 0:01:16Oh, for heaven's sake, why?

0:01:16 > 0:01:18It seems like a good opportunity. Viv was talking about it on...

0:01:18 > 0:01:22Yes! That's what vicars do. They witter on.

0:01:22 > 0:01:25And I just stare into the distance and make holiday plans.

0:01:29 > 0:01:32It's just a way of welcoming Joe into the community.

0:01:32 > 0:01:34Have you actually read the christening service?

0:01:34 > 0:01:37We have to renounce the devil and all his works.

0:01:37 > 0:01:41- Yeah, and you are particularly fond of the devil, are you? - He's always been good to me.

0:01:41 > 0:01:43And anyway, who would we have as godparents?

0:01:43 > 0:01:44Good morning!

0:01:44 > 0:01:47Good morning, Mrs Tembe.

0:01:47 > 0:01:48No way.

0:01:49 > 0:01:51Morning, Mrs Tembe!

0:01:54 > 0:01:55Why ever not?

0:01:55 > 0:01:57Because she'd be insufferable.

0:01:57 > 0:01:59I do not mind doing God once a week,

0:01:59 > 0:02:03but I refuse to hook up with God's best friend.

0:02:03 > 0:02:07I just think that if we want to get Joe into Heathdean, we've got to show we're committed.

0:02:07 > 0:02:09Getting him baptised is one way of doing that.

0:02:09 > 0:02:11You have been seduced by these church ladies.

0:02:11 > 0:02:14The whole rest of the world sees you as the rampant egotist you are,

0:02:14 > 0:02:16but those innocents think that you're God's gift.

0:02:16 > 0:02:19Sorry, can I interrupt you a minute?

0:02:19 > 0:02:20What?!

0:02:20 > 0:02:23You do know what you're planning is basically an act of fraud?

0:02:32 > 0:02:34BELL RINGS

0:02:37 > 0:02:39BELL RINGS

0:02:41 > 0:02:43Hello?

0:02:43 > 0:02:46- Hi. - Well, what do you want?

0:02:46 > 0:02:47I'm sorry...?

0:02:47 > 0:02:50I suppose you've come to tell me about God, have you?

0:02:50 > 0:02:51- No.- Well, I'm not interested,

0:02:51 > 0:02:54I've got my own religion, thank you very much.

0:02:54 > 0:02:56- That's nice. - Well, what DO you want?

0:02:56 > 0:02:58I've come to see your next-door neighbour.

0:02:58 > 0:03:00I'm Doctor Tyler.

0:03:00 > 0:03:03Oh! Come on in!

0:03:03 > 0:03:05I didn't think you'd come today.

0:03:05 > 0:03:08No, I've come to see the man next door.

0:03:08 > 0:03:11Him? Oh, you'll be waiting a long time.

0:03:11 > 0:03:12Why?

0:03:12 > 0:03:15He never answers the door.

0:03:15 > 0:03:19Never goes out except at night when he can't be seen.

0:03:19 > 0:03:20OK, well...

0:03:20 > 0:03:23All day he hides away in there.

0:03:27 > 0:03:31Mr Miles! It's Doctor Tyler from the Mill Health Centre...

0:03:31 > 0:03:33Hello?

0:03:33 > 0:03:37Hi, Mr Miles, it's Dr Tyler from the Mill Health Centre.

0:03:37 > 0:03:38Oh... come in.

0:03:42 > 0:03:45Look, it's just a nice little family service, OK.

0:03:45 > 0:03:48Sounds delightful. If you ignore the basic hypocrisy.

0:03:48 > 0:03:49Oh, please!

0:03:49 > 0:03:52You are signing a contract with a deity you do not believe in,

0:03:52 > 0:03:55to carry out a series of actions you have no intention of doing.

0:03:55 > 0:03:58All so that two very wealthy people can save on some school fees.

0:03:58 > 0:04:00We're looking after our son.

0:04:00 > 0:04:03Hey, of course, you're looking after your own.

0:04:03 > 0:04:06But yesterday, you were sitting in judgment on me,

0:04:06 > 0:04:08questioning my integrity.

0:04:08 > 0:04:11And all the while it seems that you're really FLEXIBLE

0:04:11 > 0:04:12with your principles.

0:04:17 > 0:04:20OK, well, you are three kilos heavier than last time.

0:04:21 > 0:04:23Right.

0:04:23 > 0:04:26Have you been following the diet sheets Doctor Reid gave you?

0:04:26 > 0:04:28Dunno.

0:04:28 > 0:04:30What do you mean you "dunno"? You either have or you haven't.

0:04:30 > 0:04:32I don't know where they are.

0:04:32 > 0:04:34I might have put them in the recycling.

0:04:34 > 0:04:37Look, we're running out of things to do with you.

0:04:37 > 0:04:39The consultant says he can't fit you with a gastric band

0:04:39 > 0:04:41cos you're not in good enough health.

0:04:41 > 0:04:44You don't seem to be doing any exercise at all.

0:04:44 > 0:04:47We're doing all we can to help, but you need to start helping yourself.

0:04:47 > 0:04:49I suppose...

0:04:49 > 0:04:50DOORBELL RINGS

0:04:53 > 0:04:55Are you going to get that?

0:04:55 > 0:04:57No.

0:04:57 > 0:05:00I don't answer the door unless I know who it is.

0:05:00 > 0:05:03Well, how do you know who it is if you don't answer the door?

0:05:03 > 0:05:05BELL RINGS REPEATEDLY

0:05:05 > 0:05:07I'm going to leave it.

0:05:07 > 0:05:08Oh, for crying out loud.

0:05:12 > 0:05:16Well, thank you so much for your words of wisdom(!)

0:05:16 > 0:05:19Hey, you're very welcome.

0:05:19 > 0:05:21But the C of E isn't some sinister cult.

0:05:21 > 0:05:24It's a bunch of wishy-washy do-gooders who get together

0:05:24 > 0:05:27every Sunday to mime to the words of All Things Bright And Beautiful.

0:05:27 > 0:05:30It's pointless, but it's essentially harmless.

0:05:30 > 0:05:33Right, so you're indoctrinating your son into something completely pointless.

0:05:33 > 0:05:37No, we're not indoctrinating him! We're simply going to splash his head with water,

0:05:37 > 0:05:40so he can get into a good school. It's ridiculous, but don't blame me,

0:05:40 > 0:05:42blame God, blame the Education Secretary.

0:05:42 > 0:05:46I will not apologise for trying to give my son the best start in life,

0:05:46 > 0:05:50something that you would understand when you...oh, I forgot...

0:05:50 > 0:05:52you don't have children.

0:05:53 > 0:05:55Well, that told me.

0:05:58 > 0:06:02I'm confused, are we getting him christened, or not?

0:06:02 > 0:06:09I suppose so, but I am not telling Mrs Tembe. You'll have to do it.

0:06:11 > 0:06:12It was only the postman.

0:06:12 > 0:06:16What's wrong with you? Letherbridge isn't that rough, you know? I've been to worse places.

0:06:16 > 0:06:18Here you go - Mr S Miles.

0:06:18 > 0:06:20Put it down.

0:06:20 > 0:06:21Why, what's...?

0:06:24 > 0:06:26HE SNIFFS God, that's rank.

0:06:26 > 0:06:28- Leave it! - What's going on?

0:06:39 > 0:06:41What the...?!

0:06:41 > 0:06:42DOOR KNOCKS

0:06:42 > 0:06:43Come in!

0:06:45 > 0:06:50Howard, I was wondering if I could talk to you about annual leave.

0:06:50 > 0:06:52Fire away.

0:06:52 > 0:06:55Well, as you know, I'm due several days in lieu,

0:06:55 > 0:06:58and I'm feeling tired, so...

0:07:01 > 0:07:05Is that your report from yesterday's proceedings?

0:07:05 > 0:07:07I don't think that's any concern of yours whatsoever.

0:07:07 > 0:07:10In other words, "yes, it is". Come on.

0:07:10 > 0:07:13- I don't think it'd be appropriate. - If it's about my reasons for my actions.

0:07:13 > 0:07:16- I think it's important I read it. - Look, I'm trying to save your neck here.

0:07:16 > 0:07:19And I'd find it a lot easier without constant disruption.

0:07:19 > 0:07:23Under the Data Protection Act, I'm entitled to see what you're writing about my neck.

0:07:23 > 0:07:24So, come on...

0:07:31 > 0:07:33TAP RUNNING

0:07:35 > 0:07:37OK, who sent you that?

0:07:37 > 0:07:40I don't know they didn't leave a note.

0:07:40 > 0:07:42Someone sent you a rat through the post!

0:07:42 > 0:07:44What kind of psycho does that?

0:07:44 > 0:07:46God knows. But I don't.

0:07:46 > 0:07:49Really? Well, tell me what you do know.

0:07:49 > 0:07:50What's going on?

0:07:51 > 0:07:53People send me stuff.

0:07:53 > 0:07:54What sort of stuff?

0:07:54 > 0:07:56Dead rats. Live maggots. Cockroaches.

0:07:56 > 0:07:59They just usually shove it through the letter box, they don't use a stamp.

0:07:59 > 0:08:01Why do they do that?

0:08:03 > 0:08:07OK, I've got a couple of colleagues that work for the police, maybe they can get...

0:08:07 > 0:08:09- No way.- Why not?

0:08:09 > 0:08:12We don't do that round here. Snitches get stitches.

0:08:12 > 0:08:14And grass gets cut.

0:08:15 > 0:08:18And you've got no idea why they're doing this?

0:08:18 > 0:08:20Must be mistaken identity.

0:08:22 > 0:08:24OK, you've got to do something.

0:08:24 > 0:08:26Because right now you're a prisoner in your own home.

0:08:26 > 0:08:29You don't leave, so you don't get any exercise.

0:08:29 > 0:08:31You're eating yourself to an early grave.

0:08:33 > 0:08:35Why don't you tell me something I don't know.

0:08:40 > 0:08:42"Failed to establish informed consent".

0:08:45 > 0:08:48"Acted without consulting senior partners".

0:08:49 > 0:08:50"Well-intentioned".

0:08:52 > 0:08:53"Concerned for patient welfare".

0:08:56 > 0:08:58Anything you disagree with?

0:09:00 > 0:09:03Actually, I don't think it goes far enough.

0:09:03 > 0:09:04What?

0:09:07 > 0:09:09Having had a day to think about it...

0:09:10 > 0:09:12..and listening to what you all had to say.

0:09:14 > 0:09:16I messed up, Howard.

0:09:17 > 0:09:20I didn't take into account how young she is.

0:09:21 > 0:09:26And after she'd made up her mind I wanted her to have the abortion.

0:09:26 > 0:09:29Now, hang on, you sound like you're digging your own grave there.

0:09:29 > 0:09:31I just think it's time for me to be honest.

0:09:31 > 0:09:34I think Grace would appreciate that.

0:09:34 > 0:09:37We are not giving her any ammunition.

0:09:37 > 0:09:39Eh?

0:09:39 > 0:09:42Grace is the type of well-informed patient that could take this

0:09:42 > 0:09:46to the GMC, or the social services or the police even.

0:09:46 > 0:09:47Do you think she'd go that far?

0:09:47 > 0:09:50She would. And it's not just your career at stake here.

0:09:53 > 0:09:56LAUGHING

0:09:56 > 0:09:58Oi, oi! Look who it is.

0:09:58 > 0:10:00It's Doctor Whatshisname.

0:10:01 > 0:10:03You been seeing the paedo, then?

0:10:03 > 0:10:04The what...?

0:10:04 > 0:10:07The paedo, the heap of scum at 48.

0:10:07 > 0:10:09He's a nonce, isn't he? He goes after kids.

0:10:09 > 0:10:11I don't know where you get that from.

0:10:11 > 0:10:13I suppose you've had him castrated, have you?

0:10:13 > 0:10:14THEY LAUGH

0:10:14 > 0:10:16- What's in the bag, then? His nadgers?- Hey, get off!

0:10:21 > 0:10:24He's done nothing wrong, you've got the wrong man.

0:10:24 > 0:10:26So get out my way or I'll call the police.

0:10:26 > 0:10:27Hey!

0:10:27 > 0:10:29Mind how you go there, Doctor Whatsit.

0:10:29 > 0:10:33What's going on? I'm trying to get some rest!

0:10:33 > 0:10:34Oh, it's you, love.

0:10:34 > 0:10:38All right, Queenie. We were just having a word with the doctor.

0:10:38 > 0:10:39Oh, that's nice.

0:10:39 > 0:10:43Listen, you couldn't come and have a look at my telly, could you?

0:10:43 > 0:10:45It's gone wrong again.

0:10:45 > 0:10:47Yeah, I'll be around to help you out later.

0:10:47 > 0:10:49Mind how you go there, Doc.

0:10:50 > 0:10:51Take it easy, geezer.

0:11:03 > 0:11:06- Is Emma in?- Yeah, she's in her consulting room.- Right.

0:11:06 > 0:11:08Are you all right? You look a bit...

0:11:08 > 0:11:10I wonder what that was about?

0:11:10 > 0:11:12Mmm?

0:11:12 > 0:11:15Karen, you're miles away! What are you reading?

0:11:15 > 0:11:20It's...it's the advert for my job interview!

0:11:20 > 0:11:23- Oh, yes, I heard! - It's at the hairdressers - Uber.

0:11:23 > 0:11:27Uber? Oh, that place is amazing!

0:11:27 > 0:11:30- Really?- Well, I've only ever been past it on the bus,

0:11:30 > 0:11:34but it is Uber-trendy! Uber-fantastic,

0:11:34 > 0:11:36Uber... Uber-dooby-doo.

0:11:36 > 0:11:39- It's not too trendy? - Oh, no.

0:11:39 > 0:11:42No, you are very much, a trendsetter.

0:11:42 > 0:11:46I've always thought of you as Lady Gaga in later years.

0:11:46 > 0:11:48So...what exactly is the job?

0:11:49 > 0:11:51It's, um, junior stylist.

0:11:51 > 0:11:56"At Letherbridge's premier hair and beauty practitioners.

0:11:56 > 0:12:01- "Awarded West Midlands Golden Scissors for 2013".- Oh...

0:12:01 > 0:12:04"Must show passion, energy, creativity

0:12:04 > 0:12:08"and an awareness of contemporary fashion".

0:12:08 > 0:12:11Oh, well, they've picked the right person with you, then.

0:12:11 > 0:12:13You think so?

0:12:13 > 0:12:17Oh, I know so. You've got so much passion it's almost embarrassing.

0:12:17 > 0:12:21And you radiate creativity like a...a radiator.

0:12:24 > 0:12:26I'm suddenly really nervous!

0:12:26 > 0:12:29You'll be fine.

0:12:29 > 0:12:32So, when exactly does this job start?

0:12:32 > 0:12:35I think they want somebody to start straight away.

0:12:35 > 0:12:36Really?

0:12:36 > 0:12:39Well, I've got a good feeling about this.

0:12:39 > 0:12:40This could be your time.

0:12:42 > 0:12:44Mmm...

0:12:44 > 0:12:46So, yeah, I spent about half an hour with him.

0:12:46 > 0:12:48Didn't get anywhere.

0:12:48 > 0:12:51Bet that was depressing. That man is like a black hole,

0:12:51 > 0:12:53sucking the life force out of everyone.

0:12:53 > 0:12:56I know. You can literally feel yourself falling into a coma

0:12:56 > 0:12:58while he's talking to you.

0:12:58 > 0:13:00- Has he lost any weight? - What do you think?

0:13:01 > 0:13:04You know, I don't think he ever leaves that flat.

0:13:04 > 0:13:07I think he just sits there and orders endless takeaways.

0:13:07 > 0:13:09Eating himself to death.

0:13:10 > 0:13:13It's the slowest suicide attempt ever.

0:13:13 > 0:13:15Look, how well do you know him?

0:13:15 > 0:13:17What do you mean?

0:13:17 > 0:13:21Well, do you know if he has any convictions for child abuse?

0:13:26 > 0:13:28CLASSICAL CHORAL MUSIC PLAYS

0:13:28 > 0:13:31I'm sorry.

0:13:31 > 0:13:32I'm so sorry.

0:13:47 > 0:13:49No.

0:13:49 > 0:13:51No!

0:13:51 > 0:13:54It was a dead rat! And it was covered in maggots and...

0:13:54 > 0:13:55That doesn't prove anything.

0:13:55 > 0:13:58Except that somebody he knows is a complete psycho.

0:13:58 > 0:14:00But why would they go to so much effort?

0:14:00 > 0:14:03Because people are mentally unhinged.

0:14:03 > 0:14:05Why would somebody stalk Jas?

0:14:05 > 0:14:07Why are people murdered?

0:14:08 > 0:14:10He is the victim of a hate campaign.

0:14:10 > 0:14:14That doesn't mean that he's guilty of anything.

0:14:14 > 0:14:15Yeah, you're right.

0:14:15 > 0:14:19Actually, I read an article about that...

0:14:19 > 0:14:20What's the matter?

0:14:20 > 0:14:23- I can't find my phone. - Is it in your briefcase?

0:14:23 > 0:14:25No, it's not in there, would you give me a ring?

0:14:29 > 0:14:32- Anything? - Oh, no. This is not good.

0:14:32 > 0:14:34This is so not good.

0:14:34 > 0:14:35What?

0:14:35 > 0:14:37I think I've left it at Steve's.

0:14:43 > 0:14:46Your mid-morning Americano, madam.

0:14:46 > 0:14:48- Oh, dear. - What?

0:14:48 > 0:14:51When a man calls by with coffee, there is always a catch.

0:14:51 > 0:14:53I resent that.

0:14:53 > 0:14:56I just thought the caffeine would get the endorphins going.

0:14:57 > 0:15:00- And I spoke to Viv.- Daniel!

0:15:00 > 0:15:03She's managed to squeeze us in on Sunday. And it sounds like a lot of fun.

0:15:03 > 0:15:05Have you just changed the meaning of the word "fun"?

0:15:05 > 0:15:08I actually think that church could be great for Joe.

0:15:08 > 0:15:12They're not a bad bunch, and it's good to have a moral framework in your life.

0:15:12 > 0:15:14This is Invasion Of The Body Snatchers.

0:15:14 > 0:15:18You've been abducted by aliens who are turning you into Cliff Richard.

0:15:18 > 0:15:20I know we only went to church to get Joe into a good school,

0:15:20 > 0:15:23but why not go the whole hog?

0:15:23 > 0:15:25Repent, get baptised.

0:15:25 > 0:15:29Daniel! Are you in there? Move into the light, Daniel.

0:15:29 > 0:15:32Zara...I want...I want Joe to be surrounded by decent,

0:15:32 > 0:15:35caring people that are going to keep him on the straight and narrow.

0:15:35 > 0:15:38Well, the church isn't just a smug gits' club.

0:15:38 > 0:15:42You do actually have to believe in God, and we don't.

0:15:42 > 0:15:44- Not literally. - Not in any way!

0:15:44 > 0:15:45I dunno.

0:15:45 > 0:15:48I think I'm more of an agnostic than an atheist.

0:15:50 > 0:15:54I've... I've had some hard times in my life, you know that.

0:15:54 > 0:15:56All right, and look at me now,

0:15:56 > 0:16:01I'm living with the most wonderful woman in the world, who I love.

0:16:02 > 0:16:05I have two of the most beautiful children in the world.

0:16:05 > 0:16:10I can't help thinking I've been guided by some sort of invisible hand.

0:16:12 > 0:16:15The only thing that you have ever been guided by

0:16:15 > 0:16:17is pure self interest.

0:16:17 > 0:16:21You see something you want, and you make puppy-dog eyes till you get it.

0:16:21 > 0:16:23And no, Daniel, there is no God.

0:16:23 > 0:16:26Because if there were a higher intelligence,

0:16:26 > 0:16:30how could he ever have had the nerve to make someone like you?

0:16:30 > 0:16:32HE CHUCKLES

0:16:32 > 0:16:33Mmm.

0:16:35 > 0:16:37There you go. Should be all fixed now.

0:16:37 > 0:16:39That's ever so kind of you.

0:16:40 > 0:16:43Not that there's much worth watching these days.

0:16:44 > 0:16:45What's the matter?

0:16:47 > 0:16:48What?

0:16:48 > 0:16:51You don't seem your usual self today.

0:16:51 > 0:16:52Well...

0:16:52 > 0:16:55It's him next door. He's beginning to get to me.

0:16:55 > 0:16:57What's he done?

0:16:57 > 0:17:00Oh, he hasn't done anything, but it's what he DID do,

0:17:00 > 0:17:03to that poor little girl.

0:17:03 > 0:17:05And he's just the other side of that wall!

0:17:05 > 0:17:08Well, he's not exactly my favourite person either.

0:17:10 > 0:17:14You know there's a new family moved into the first floor?

0:17:14 > 0:17:15Oh, yeah?

0:17:15 > 0:17:19They've got a little girl. Eight or nine.

0:17:19 > 0:17:21Proper little angel.

0:17:21 > 0:17:24Yeah, well, he wouldn't try anything. He wouldn't dare.

0:17:24 > 0:17:27I'm sure that's what they said last time.

0:17:27 > 0:17:28Just...

0:17:28 > 0:17:30Leave it with me, Queenie.

0:17:30 > 0:17:33You won't have to worry about him for much longer.

0:17:35 > 0:17:37I know....you will just have to wait...please.

0:17:37 > 0:17:40Mrs Cruikshank? Doctor Carmichael will see you now.

0:17:41 > 0:17:44- Mrs Tembe, have you got a minute? - It will have to be quick.

0:17:44 > 0:17:46I have three patients to register. Thank you.

0:17:46 > 0:17:49OK, well, as you may or may not know,

0:17:49 > 0:17:52we're having Joe christened this Sunday.

0:17:52 > 0:17:54And we were wondering if you would do us

0:17:54 > 0:17:56the very great honour of being his godmother?

0:18:01 > 0:18:04- Doctor Granger, I am very busy.- Yes.

0:18:04 > 0:18:06Perhaps we can discuss this later?

0:18:06 > 0:18:08OK. Well, I don't have any patients at the moment,

0:18:08 > 0:18:10so I'll wait in the staff room.

0:18:15 > 0:18:18Hello, um, I've come to see Dr Haskey.

0:18:20 > 0:18:22HE SIGHS

0:18:22 > 0:18:25- Right, I need you to phone me, OK? - No.

0:18:25 > 0:18:28- What do you mean "no"? - I can't use the phone. They've turned off the electricity.

0:18:28 > 0:18:30What...?

0:18:30 > 0:18:31What the hell is going on?

0:18:31 > 0:18:34You lock yourself up in here. You're eating yourself to death.

0:18:34 > 0:18:37And then there are those guys hanging around outside.

0:18:37 > 0:18:40- They seem to think you've done something awful. - They know nothing about me.

0:18:40 > 0:18:43Really? Well, why don't we invite them in for a cosy little chat, eh?

0:18:43 > 0:18:45Sort out the confusion.

0:18:45 > 0:18:47Or maybe we should go to the police.

0:18:47 > 0:18:49They think I hurt a child.

0:18:49 > 0:18:51They think I did the worst thing in the world.

0:18:51 > 0:18:54But it wasn't me. They've got the wrong man.

0:18:54 > 0:18:56Oh, really? And how have they done that?

0:18:58 > 0:19:01Because there was someone who used to live here, who did hurt a child.

0:19:02 > 0:19:04He was a very damaged person.

0:19:07 > 0:19:09Who was he?

0:19:11 > 0:19:13He ran away.

0:19:13 > 0:19:14They think he went to Thailand.

0:19:14 > 0:19:16- A friend of yours, was he?- What?

0:19:16 > 0:19:18Well, you seem to know a lot about him.

0:19:20 > 0:19:21No.

0:19:22 > 0:19:23He's my son.

0:19:26 > 0:19:32- Hi.- Hi, look, this is really awkward, I'm sorry, but...

0:19:32 > 0:19:33Did I get you into trouble?

0:19:35 > 0:19:39No, absolutely not, Fliss, you did nothing wrong,

0:19:39 > 0:19:43it's just that there's this investigation going on at the moment

0:19:43 > 0:19:47and if I talk to you now, then I could put that in danger,

0:19:47 > 0:19:50and then I really would be in a whole trainload of trouble.

0:19:50 > 0:19:52What's going on?

0:19:52 > 0:19:54Miss Henning wanted to speak to Doctor Haskey,

0:19:54 > 0:19:58and he was just explaining that it is not really appropriate.

0:19:58 > 0:20:00Well, I'm sure it will be OK.

0:20:00 > 0:20:02As long as it's in my office, and I'm present at all times.

0:20:02 > 0:20:04OK.

0:20:04 > 0:20:06Mrs Tembe, can you organise some coffee, please?

0:20:06 > 0:20:09And a soft drink for Felicity?

0:20:09 > 0:20:10I'll have a coffee.

0:20:17 > 0:20:19I never really knew Shaun.

0:20:20 > 0:20:23The marriage broke up when he was a kid, and I moved away.

0:20:25 > 0:20:27But then I heard that he'd got into trouble.

0:20:27 > 0:20:29It's more than just trouble.

0:20:29 > 0:20:33No-one knows where he is. They think he's gone to Thailand.

0:20:35 > 0:20:38So I've been waiting here in case he came back, keeping my head down.

0:20:40 > 0:20:45But then a couple of days ago, this came through the letter box.

0:20:50 > 0:20:52"Police are searching for a known child abuser

0:20:52 > 0:20:54"who brutally raped

0:20:54 > 0:20:58"a 12-year-old girl before escaping their custody.

0:20:58 > 0:21:01"The man has been named as Mr Shaun Miles."

0:21:01 > 0:21:03Shaun Miles.

0:21:03 > 0:21:05Steven Miles.

0:21:06 > 0:21:08They think it's the same person.

0:21:08 > 0:21:10I'll go to the police, and tell them to go round the estate

0:21:10 > 0:21:14and tell everyone there was a child abuser, but he's moved on, and he doesn't live here any more.

0:21:14 > 0:21:16I don't want you to.

0:21:16 > 0:21:19- What? - I did abuse a child!

0:21:20 > 0:21:22I walked out on Shaun when he was ten years old.

0:21:22 > 0:21:24I left him with an alcoholic mother

0:21:24 > 0:21:27and a stepfather who beat the living daylights out of him.

0:21:27 > 0:21:30It's no wonder he turned out the way he did.

0:21:31 > 0:21:34So, if they want someone to punish...

0:21:34 > 0:21:37No, you messed up, but you didn't do this.

0:21:40 > 0:21:41I hurt my son...

0:21:43 > 0:21:44..they want to hurt me.

0:21:46 > 0:21:47I'm not going to stop them.

0:21:52 > 0:21:54Oh, for crying out loud, go home!

0:21:54 > 0:21:57I don't think we can, Doc. I think you've seen too much.

0:21:57 > 0:22:00We don't want you snitching now, do we?

0:22:00 > 0:22:02At least, not until we've finished with the nonce.

0:22:02 > 0:22:04He's done nothing wrong. You've got the wrong guy.

0:22:04 > 0:22:08You always stick up for them lot, don't you? I suppose it's their human rights.

0:22:09 > 0:22:12Come on, boys. Let's go and visit the bogeyman.

0:22:16 > 0:22:19- Let me do that, you take a seat. - I am quite capable.

0:22:19 > 0:22:22OK. So, what's it to be?

0:22:24 > 0:22:26What?

0:22:26 > 0:22:27Are you going to make us

0:22:27 > 0:22:31the happiest family in Letherbridge by becoming Joe's godmother?

0:22:31 > 0:22:32We can't think of anyone better.

0:22:37 > 0:22:40My faith is not a game to me.

0:22:40 > 0:22:44- No.- It is about a man who gave his life to save humanity,

0:22:44 > 0:22:48and I have devoted my whole life to serving that man.

0:22:49 > 0:22:51Mm, I see that, but...

0:22:51 > 0:22:54You are only going to church so that Joe can go to Heathdean School,

0:22:54 > 0:22:57and I find that offensive.

0:22:57 > 0:22:59You are depriving genuine Christians

0:22:59 > 0:23:02of a place at a school that shares their values.

0:23:02 > 0:23:07And if you have him christened, you will be making a mockery of that service

0:23:07 > 0:23:10because you will not believe a single word you are saying.

0:23:10 > 0:23:15That's a little strong. We only want what's best for him.

0:23:15 > 0:23:18No, you want what is best for you.

0:23:20 > 0:23:22I have tried to hold my tongue,

0:23:22 > 0:23:24but I will not be a part of this lie.

0:23:24 > 0:23:28Now, if you will excuse me, I need to prepare Mr Bellamy's coffee.

0:23:33 > 0:23:36- How do we get these windows open? - I've lost the key.

0:23:36 > 0:23:37BANGING ON DOOR There must be some way of...

0:23:37 > 0:23:40- Just let them do what they want to me.- You can't give up!

0:23:40 > 0:23:41I gave up years ago.

0:23:41 > 0:23:44- MOB SHOUTING - What goes around, comes around.

0:23:45 > 0:23:47BANGING

0:23:47 > 0:23:48Come out here, you nonce!

0:23:56 > 0:23:59I'm sorry my mum caused so much trouble.

0:23:59 > 0:24:02It really wasn't fair, and...

0:24:02 > 0:24:04You only did what I asked you to.

0:24:04 > 0:24:05No, I'm sorry.

0:24:06 > 0:24:10I think that I may have pushed you into a corner a bit,

0:24:10 > 0:24:15and I didn't realise that you're not quite as grown-up as I thought.

0:24:15 > 0:24:16I'm not a kid either.

0:24:23 > 0:24:25I didn't want to have the abortion.

0:24:27 > 0:24:30But I didn't want to be pregnant either.

0:24:34 > 0:24:36I'm sorry I had to go through with it...

0:24:38 > 0:24:40It made me feel sad and...

0:24:42 > 0:24:43..and empty.

0:24:44 > 0:24:46SHE SNIFFLES

0:24:46 > 0:24:48But I still think I had to.

0:24:51 > 0:24:52I had to.

0:24:56 > 0:24:58- Thank you. - Take your time.

0:25:00 > 0:25:01How are things at home?

0:25:03 > 0:25:05Mum's calmed down a bit.

0:25:05 > 0:25:08I think last week she wanted to kill you, but...

0:25:08 > 0:25:11Now she knows you meant well.

0:25:11 > 0:25:13I did.

0:25:13 > 0:25:15We all just want you to be happy, Fliss.

0:25:16 > 0:25:17I will be happy.

0:25:19 > 0:25:20In a while.

0:25:23 > 0:25:27But...now I should get back to school, before I get into trouble.

0:25:29 > 0:25:30So, I just wanted to say...

0:25:32 > 0:25:34..thank you.

0:25:36 > 0:25:38Thank you for your time.

0:25:41 > 0:25:43DOOR OPENS

0:25:43 > 0:25:45DOOR CLOSES

0:25:45 > 0:25:46What just happened?

0:25:49 > 0:25:53I think what she was saying was that she doesn't blame you.

0:25:54 > 0:25:58Yeah, but I still don't know if I did the right thing.

0:25:58 > 0:26:01EVERYTHING you did was with the best intention.

0:26:04 > 0:26:05BANGING

0:26:05 > 0:26:07Help me with this sofa, I'm going to barricade the door.

0:26:07 > 0:26:11BANGING AND SHOUTING Steve...?

0:26:11 > 0:26:12Gotcha!

0:26:12 > 0:26:16- You should have left this place while you still had the chance. - Get out!

0:26:16 > 0:26:17What's happening?

0:26:17 > 0:26:19He's having a heart attack.

0:26:19 > 0:26:22Whoa! Pull up a chair, boys.

0:26:22 > 0:26:24I'm going to enjoy this.

0:26:24 > 0:26:25CHORAL MUSIC

0:26:25 > 0:26:29Come on mate, Come on. Steve. Can you hear me?

0:26:31 > 0:26:35Come on, we're not giving up!

0:26:36 > 0:26:39There we go. There you go. You're OK, Steve.

0:26:39 > 0:26:41You're going to be OK, Steve, just focus on me.

0:26:41 > 0:26:45Well done Doc, you've done your thing. Now, it's our turn.

0:26:45 > 0:26:47Breathe, OK, breathe for me.

0:26:47 > 0:26:48Come on, Doc, let me have a go.

0:26:56 > 0:26:58HE BREATHES HEAVILY

0:27:04 > 0:27:06Hello. Hello?

0:27:07 > 0:27:08Good morning.

0:27:08 > 0:27:11You realise you've just applied for the job of junior stylist?

0:27:11 > 0:27:13That's right.

0:27:13 > 0:27:15What makes you think you are right for such a role?

0:27:17 > 0:27:19Everyone seems to be looking for Kevin at the moment.

0:27:19 > 0:27:21I'm a little bit psychic.

0:27:21 > 0:27:23I have the power to read people's auras.

0:27:23 > 0:27:25- Really?- Oh...

0:27:25 > 0:27:27SHE CLEARS HER THROAT
