0:00:30 > 0:00:32There you go, Dad.
0:00:32 > 0:00:35Rabbit food. Lovely.
0:00:36 > 0:00:38And I've made your green tea.
0:00:38 > 0:00:41I thought you could have this now, then we can go shopping later.
0:00:41 > 0:00:43Thanks, love. Are you going to eat something?
0:00:43 > 0:00:45Bacon sarnies.
0:00:45 > 0:00:47I'll be back on real food soon.
0:00:47 > 0:00:49With any luck.
0:01:03 > 0:01:06What are you doing?
0:01:06 > 0:01:08Nothing. Just checking the tyres.
0:01:08 > 0:01:10That is Dr Clay's car.
0:01:10 > 0:01:13I know! But it looked a bit flat.
0:01:14 > 0:01:17It's fine, though. No problems.
0:01:21 > 0:01:24So I'm at the top of the ski-lift, I'm trying to impress your mum,
0:01:24 > 0:01:25and I say, "Wait here.
0:01:25 > 0:01:28"I know how to do this," I push off and fall flat on my back.
0:01:28 > 0:01:33Er...Mr Stanfield? Peter. And...Rebecca?
0:01:33 > 0:01:34Bex.
0:01:34 > 0:01:36Hello, Dr Haskey. Lovely day.
0:01:36 > 0:01:38You're looking well.
0:01:38 > 0:01:40Yeah. I'm feeling great.
0:01:40 > 0:01:42You've missed quite a few appointments.
0:01:42 > 0:01:44I don't need to see you any more.
0:01:44 > 0:01:45I've been cured.
0:01:47 > 0:01:52I just don't want to do evening classes. Anyway, it's summer.
0:01:52 > 0:01:53They're going to be finishing.
0:01:53 > 0:01:57They do summer classes. There are lots of things that we can do.
0:01:57 > 0:01:59We could learn a new language.
0:01:59 > 0:02:02I manage perfectly well with English and profane.
0:02:02 > 0:02:06Look, the point is what I was trying to explain all day yesterday,
0:02:06 > 0:02:09it's something new that we can do together.
0:02:09 > 0:02:12There are lots of things we can do together.
0:02:12 > 0:02:16And they don't involve sitting in a dreary classroom listening to a teacher droning on.
0:02:16 > 0:02:18It's so suburban. So...middle-aged.
0:02:18 > 0:02:20Not necessarily.
0:02:20 > 0:02:23And keeping every Thursday night free, or whatever...
0:02:23 > 0:02:27It takes away all the spontaneity. I want to be able to jump on a plane and have a holiday whenever we want.
0:02:27 > 0:02:32Oh, yeah. All we have to do is ask Howard to give us leave at the same time, and ask weeks in advance(!)
0:02:32 > 0:02:34I work hard all day.
0:02:34 > 0:02:35In the evenings, I want to have fun.
0:02:35 > 0:02:38I want to be together with you and Joe.
0:02:38 > 0:02:40I'm glad we made up after yesterday,
0:02:40 > 0:02:45but I've given it lots of thought and I just...I don't fancy it.
0:02:45 > 0:02:46I'm sorry.
0:02:47 > 0:02:49So this miracle cure, how does that work?
0:02:49 > 0:02:51It's not a miracle cure.
0:02:51 > 0:02:53We found this wonderful doctor, David Clarkwell.
0:02:53 > 0:02:55He's a radical oncologist.
0:02:55 > 0:02:58Yeah, he fights cancer on all fronts, he uses everything at once.
0:02:58 > 0:02:59How's he do that?
0:02:59 > 0:03:01First there's the diet - raw veg and green tea,
0:03:01 > 0:03:03that's to boost the immune system.
0:03:03 > 0:03:04Then he's got this amazing new drug.
0:03:04 > 0:03:07It treats the cancer and there's no side effects.
0:03:07 > 0:03:10Then there's meditation, positive visualisations...
0:03:10 > 0:03:12I've been on this regime for a month now,
0:03:12 > 0:03:14and, the last few days, I've felt great. It's worked!
0:03:14 > 0:03:17David doesn't like his patients seeing other doctors, or having
0:03:17 > 0:03:20any other kind of treatment - he says it'd conflict with the regime.
0:03:20 > 0:03:23- So...- Hang on a minute. You do know this is a scam, right?
0:03:23 > 0:03:26You're deluding yourselves. It's not real.
0:03:26 > 0:03:27It seems pretty real to me.
0:03:27 > 0:03:30You can't meditate cancer away!
0:03:30 > 0:03:33You don't cure it by drinking green tea!
0:03:33 > 0:03:35What else does he prescribe - does he give you a coffee enema
0:03:35 > 0:03:38while you sit in a dark room listening to whale music?!
0:03:38 > 0:03:41There's thousands of crooks out there just waiting to pounce
0:03:41 > 0:03:46on people like you - people who are desperate, people who are...
0:03:46 > 0:03:47excuse the phrase...gullible.
0:03:47 > 0:03:49We're not stupid!
0:03:49 > 0:03:51- How much is he charging you? - That's none of your business!
0:03:51 > 0:03:53Look, Dr Haskey, we didn't just choose some random bloke.
0:03:53 > 0:03:55- He was recommended.- By who?
0:03:55 > 0:03:56Friends. Well, friends of friends.
0:03:56 > 0:03:59They said David was marvellous, knew someone he'd cured.
0:03:59 > 0:04:02Then, obviously, we researched him. He's got a website.
0:04:02 > 0:04:05Oh, I take it all back - he's obviously legitimate with a website!
0:04:05 > 0:04:09They told me the leukaemia was terminal. What have I got to lose? So we agreed I'd give it a try.
0:04:09 > 0:04:11I was never into any of this stuff before,
0:04:11 > 0:04:13meditation, and suchlike, but it works.
0:04:13 > 0:04:16- No, it doesn't. - With respect, I'm the one who's ill.
0:04:16 > 0:04:19I know how I feel, and I feel better.
0:04:19 > 0:04:21Even you said you were surprised how well I looked.
0:04:21 > 0:04:23That's evidence, isn't it? That's scientific.
0:04:23 > 0:04:28Yeah, it is scientific. It's something called the placebo effect.
0:04:28 > 0:04:30You expect to feel better, so you do,
0:04:30 > 0:04:32but it's not going to last. What you don't realise...
0:04:32 > 0:04:34Don't patronise us, you arrogant...
0:04:34 > 0:04:36- Bex.- Why should I be polite? He isn't!
0:04:36 > 0:04:39Look at you - you've got no right telling other people how to be healthy!
0:04:39 > 0:04:40I'm a doctor. I am medically qualified.
0:04:40 > 0:04:42- So's Dr Clarkwell.- No, he isn't!
0:04:42 > 0:04:43He is.
0:04:43 > 0:04:46Come on, Bex. There's stuff to get ready.
0:04:46 > 0:04:50Yeah. We're having a get-together to celebrate now that Dad's better.
0:04:50 > 0:04:53These pills he's given you, what are they?
0:04:53 > 0:04:54I can show you.
0:04:55 > 0:04:57Do you think that I could take one?
0:04:57 > 0:04:59I've got a friend who could examine them.
0:04:59 > 0:05:01If they're that great, surely you want to know what they are.
0:05:01 > 0:05:03Dad, don't. It's none of his business.
0:05:03 > 0:05:05We don't need to prove anything to you.
0:05:05 > 0:05:06There you go.
0:05:06 > 0:05:08Come on.
0:05:15 > 0:05:18Yay, Bugsy! Bugsy, it's Haskey.
0:05:18 > 0:05:23Yeah... Bugsy, I'm going to cut you off there. I need a favour.
0:05:23 > 0:05:27What about something a bit more active, then, like pilates?
0:05:27 > 0:05:30Or keep fit. Or ballroom dancing.
0:05:30 > 0:05:32It's dead trendy now, with all the TV shows.
0:05:32 > 0:05:35Daniel suggested that, but you know I hate all that "Strictly" stuff.
0:05:35 > 0:05:38Can you really see me in one of those ridiculous dresses?
0:05:38 > 0:05:40Yeah...
0:05:40 > 0:05:42You two. We need to have a meeting.
0:05:42 > 0:05:45- Emma's had an accident... she's broke her ankle.- How?
0:05:45 > 0:05:49She was visiting Mrs Lanchester yesterday, and tripped over one of her dogs.
0:05:49 > 0:05:51Aw! Is the dog all right?
0:05:51 > 0:05:53Never mind about the dog! It's a bad break.
0:05:53 > 0:05:56We don't know how long she's going to be off for, so we need to arrange cover.
0:05:56 > 0:05:58My office, five minutes?
0:05:58 > 0:05:59It's not funny!
0:06:04 > 0:06:08There is a charlatan on our patch ripping off terminal patients!
0:06:08 > 0:06:11He doesn't specify on his website how much he's charging them,
0:06:11 > 0:06:13so it's obviously an awful lot of money.
0:06:13 > 0:06:16And get this, he recommends that people undergo his treatment
0:06:16 > 0:06:20for at least three to six months... These are terminal patients!
0:06:20 > 0:06:22What's his name?
0:06:22 > 0:06:25"Dr" David... You know what, I refuse to call him doctor.
0:06:25 > 0:06:27His name is David Clarkwell.
0:06:27 > 0:06:29- Ah. Yeah, right. He's back again, is he?- Again?
0:06:29 > 0:06:31He keeps coming back, like cockroaches.
0:06:31 > 0:06:33Is he still claiming he can cure cancer?
0:06:33 > 0:06:37- What's he advocating this time - healing crystals, or drinking your own urine?- Yeah, that sort of thing.
0:06:37 > 0:06:40But it's illegal! You can't prescribe if you're not a qualified doctor.
0:06:40 > 0:06:42Yeah, but he is. He's got all the qualifications.
0:06:42 > 0:06:43He just doesn't use them.
0:06:43 > 0:06:46- There must be some way of stopping him!- No.
0:06:46 > 0:06:48If people want to come and hand over their cash voluntarily,
0:06:48 > 0:06:51it's all above board. It's not breaking any laws.
0:06:51 > 0:06:54He's charging people literally thousands of pounds!
0:06:54 > 0:06:58Yeah, of course he is. The more people charge, the more people believe the treatment's working.
0:06:58 > 0:07:02There's loads of quacks around. I met one last year - bloke doing live blood tests, of all things.
0:07:02 > 0:07:04There was no way we could prosecute him.
0:07:04 > 0:07:05Why don't you go to see him
0:07:05 > 0:07:08and film him undercover, like in those hidden camera shows?
0:07:08 > 0:07:11Yeah, and that way I get charged for entrapment or something?
0:07:11 > 0:07:13Can you think before you speak, please?
0:07:13 > 0:07:16No, I'll just have to sort it out my way, won't I?
0:07:18 > 0:07:22- Have you guys heard about Emma?- No.
0:07:22 > 0:07:23MUSIC PLAYS
0:08:02 > 0:08:06Right, I'm making a brew. Does anyone want one?
0:08:06 > 0:08:07Niamh?
0:08:07 > 0:08:10Niamh? Do you want a cup of tea?
0:08:10 > 0:08:11No, thanks.
0:08:11 > 0:08:13Are you all right?
0:08:13 > 0:08:17Yeah. I'm just worried about Emma. I'll catch you later.
0:08:19 > 0:08:23Jimmi, have you noticed anything strange? About Niamh and Al?
0:08:25 > 0:08:26Like what?
0:08:26 > 0:08:28Well, he's being really off with her,
0:08:28 > 0:08:32and she's... Do you know what's going on with them?
0:08:32 > 0:08:35No, no idea, and I don't want to know, it's nothing to do with me.
0:08:35 > 0:08:38I've got a new policy of not getting involved.
0:08:38 > 0:08:40They're noisy, smelly and incontinent.
0:08:40 > 0:08:42Heston, that is no way to talk about our patients.
0:08:42 > 0:08:45She has more dogs every time you visit her!
0:08:45 > 0:08:48Can we focus? Right, what are we going to do about Emma?
0:08:48 > 0:08:51I'm sure we'll muddle through. We always do.
0:08:51 > 0:08:53Yes, well, I don't want to keep muddling through.
0:08:53 > 0:08:55This is not going to be easy. Emma runs a lot of clinics,
0:08:55 > 0:08:59one of them being the Well Woman clinic - which should be run by a woman doctor.
0:08:59 > 0:09:02OK, well, right, that means we need to get a locum in.
0:09:02 > 0:09:03Brilliant, just what I was thinking.
0:09:03 > 0:09:05No, surely we have spare capacity.
0:09:05 > 0:09:08- Howard, are you going somewhere? - Yeah, down the station.
0:09:08 > 0:09:12- I've got a shift as a special constable.- Keeping the streets of Letherbridge safe.
0:09:12 > 0:09:15- Yeah, something like that. Can I leave the locum with you? - Yes, of course.
0:09:15 > 0:09:17Heston, we don't have much spare capacity.
0:09:17 > 0:09:19We can't just take on Emma's entire workload.
0:09:19 > 0:09:21You mean, you don't want to do the clinic.
0:09:21 > 0:09:24OK, what I mean is, we spend little enough time with Joe as it is.
0:09:24 > 0:09:26I don't want to spend even less.
0:09:26 > 0:09:27We should get a locum.
0:09:27 > 0:09:29Who would you suggest?
0:09:31 > 0:09:32You're lucky.
0:09:32 > 0:09:34I can't normally see people at such short notice,
0:09:34 > 0:09:36but someone's cancelled.
0:09:36 > 0:09:40I have time for an initial consultation.
0:09:40 > 0:09:45Alisdair, isn't it - with a "D"? Do you mind if I call you Alisdair?
0:09:45 > 0:09:47Yeah, it's Al, not that it matters.
0:09:47 > 0:09:50I know patients find this hard, talking about their condition,
0:09:50 > 0:09:52especially if they've just been diagnosed.
0:09:52 > 0:09:54Often, they're still in shock.
0:09:54 > 0:09:57But you have come to the right place,
0:09:57 > 0:10:00and I promise you I can cure you.
0:10:00 > 0:10:02Now, if you'd like to tell me about your...
0:10:02 > 0:10:06Just save it, will you? I'm not here as a patient.
0:10:06 > 0:10:09Oh? Then I misunderstood.
0:10:09 > 0:10:12Yes, you did. I'm a GP.
0:10:12 > 0:10:15I know that you rip off terminally ill people,
0:10:15 > 0:10:19and that your so-called treatment regime is a load of old hogwash.
0:10:36 > 0:10:39So, exactly how many people have you conned?
0:10:39 > 0:10:41If you mean how many have I treated...
0:10:41 > 0:10:43No. No, you don't treat people!
0:10:43 > 0:10:46You just delude them into believing that they've been cured.
0:10:46 > 0:10:47I see.
0:10:47 > 0:10:50Like most conventional medical practitioners,
0:10:50 > 0:10:51you have a closed mind.
0:10:51 > 0:10:55No. I'm just not sick or scared enough to be gullible!
0:10:55 > 0:10:58I use techniques from all over the world - proven techniques
0:10:58 > 0:10:59that have been used for thousands of years.
0:10:59 > 0:11:01This is win-win for you, isn't it?
0:11:01 > 0:11:04If people go into remission, then you get the credit, and if they die,
0:11:04 > 0:11:07the family's too grief-stricken to come after you!
0:11:07 > 0:11:12I treat the whole person, harnessing the body's natural defences.
0:11:12 > 0:11:14What do you advocate?
0:11:14 > 0:11:18Chemotherapy, radiotherapy - pumping the body full of poison.
0:11:18 > 0:11:22Making people feel so wretched that they want to die,
0:11:22 > 0:11:24and give up fighting?
0:11:24 > 0:11:26Is that what you call curing cancer?
0:11:26 > 0:11:28It's the best option we have at the moment.
0:11:28 > 0:11:31No. You're just prejudiced against anything else.
0:11:31 > 0:11:35Fascinating as this discussion is, I'd like you to leave now.
0:11:35 > 0:11:38I have real patients who need my time and attention.
0:11:38 > 0:11:41Yeah, places to go, people to con...
0:11:41 > 0:11:44This ends today. I'm putting you out of business!
0:11:48 > 0:11:50Yeah - go ahead, call the police,
0:11:50 > 0:11:53because I want to tell them all about your racket.
0:11:53 > 0:11:55Hello, police, please.
0:11:55 > 0:11:56KNOCK ON DOOR
0:11:56 > 0:11:58Come in!
0:11:58 > 0:11:59- Hi!- Hello.
0:11:59 > 0:12:02We need to consult about Mrs Bennett. When's good for you?
0:12:02 > 0:12:04- Give me half an hour?- Great. OK.
0:12:04 > 0:12:05Oh, Niamh?
0:12:05 > 0:12:06Yeah?
0:12:06 > 0:12:08How are things going, generally?
0:12:08 > 0:12:10Great. No problems.
0:12:10 > 0:12:11Good.
0:12:11 > 0:12:13What about you and Al? Are you two OK?
0:12:13 > 0:12:16Of course we are! Why would you ask that?
0:12:16 > 0:12:17We're fine.
0:12:17 > 0:12:18Just asking.
0:12:19 > 0:12:21KNOCK ON DOOR
0:12:21 > 0:12:23- Come.- Here we go.
0:12:27 > 0:12:29Dr Clarkwell.
0:12:29 > 0:12:31Thank you for coming round so quickly.
0:12:31 > 0:12:33As I said, I want this man arrested.
0:12:33 > 0:12:35He stormed into my office...
0:12:35 > 0:12:37Actually, I made an appointment.
0:12:37 > 0:12:39I'll talk to you in a minute. Sir?
0:12:39 > 0:12:41He pretended to want a consultation,
0:12:41 > 0:12:45then he became verbally aggressive and threatening towards me.
0:12:45 > 0:12:48This man is a fraud! He needs arresting!
0:12:48 > 0:12:50As I said, I'll talk to you in a minute.
0:12:51 > 0:12:55Would you escort this gentleman outside, please? Thank you.
0:12:58 > 0:13:03There must be something you can charge him with, surely?
0:13:03 > 0:13:05- Threatening behaviour. - Yes, of course.
0:13:05 > 0:13:07I'm afraid we'll have to take this down the station.
0:13:07 > 0:13:09- Can't I do that here? - I'm afraid not.
0:13:09 > 0:13:12As I'm sure you're aware, the police are overstretched,
0:13:12 > 0:13:16and they don't really see this type of thing as a priority.
0:13:16 > 0:13:21You mean I'd have to wait at the station for hours?
0:13:21 > 0:13:24I can't tell you how long it'd take.
0:13:24 > 0:13:27I'd have to reschedule patients!
0:13:27 > 0:13:30It's going to be more trouble than it's worth.
0:13:30 > 0:13:31Well, if that's your decision,
0:13:31 > 0:13:34if you don't want to take it any further...
0:13:34 > 0:13:37What's going to happen, then - you're just going to let him go?
0:13:37 > 0:13:40Oh, no. I'll be having a word with him.
0:13:40 > 0:13:43Rest assured he won't bother you again.
0:13:43 > 0:13:44OK. I'll drop it.
0:13:44 > 0:13:47But I expect you to read him the riot act!
0:13:47 > 0:13:49If you have any further problems, please do give us a call.
0:13:49 > 0:13:50Don't worry, I will.
0:13:50 > 0:13:52I'll leave you to the rest of your day.
0:13:56 > 0:13:58I wasn't threatening anyone.
0:14:00 > 0:14:03It's all right, Jane, I'll have a word. I'll catch you up.
0:14:04 > 0:14:07What do you think you're playing at?!
0:14:07 > 0:14:09He's a crook. He's taking money off people who are dying!
0:14:09 > 0:14:12I don't care what he's up to. It's not your job to go after him!
0:14:12 > 0:14:15Do you want to be arrested? Charged?
0:14:15 > 0:14:19As usual, you haven't thought about the consequences for everyone else.
0:14:19 > 0:14:21You're lucky I was the one dealing with this,
0:14:21 > 0:14:23otherwise you'd be down the nick!
0:14:23 > 0:14:25Fortunately, I've managed to talk Dr Clarkwell
0:14:25 > 0:14:28out of bringing charges.
0:14:28 > 0:14:29All right.
0:14:29 > 0:14:31Well, thanks for that.
0:14:31 > 0:14:32I didn't do it for you.
0:14:32 > 0:14:34I'm trying to protect the practice.
0:14:34 > 0:14:38If you've got any sense, you'll stay away from Dr Clarkwell in future.
0:14:38 > 0:14:40Is that clear?
0:14:41 > 0:14:43Now get in your car and clear off.
0:14:43 > 0:14:45Go on!
0:14:50 > 0:14:52See you soon.
0:14:52 > 0:14:55Might even make it along to the quiz night at the pub.
0:14:55 > 0:14:57Thanks for coming.
0:14:58 > 0:14:59Ooh.
0:15:03 > 0:15:04I'll give you a hand, love.
0:15:04 > 0:15:06Maybe you should rest. You don't...
0:15:06 > 0:15:08I don't need to rest!
0:15:08 > 0:15:10I'll help.
0:15:10 > 0:15:11What?
0:15:11 > 0:15:13Your nose is bleeding.
0:15:14 > 0:15:17- Oh.- Sit down, Dad.
0:15:22 > 0:15:25Tilt your head forward and pinch your nose.
0:15:28 > 0:15:29I really am all right.
0:15:34 > 0:15:36PHONE RINGS
0:15:38 > 0:15:40The Mill Health Centre?
0:15:40 > 0:15:41How may I help you?
0:15:43 > 0:15:45Er, Stanfield?
0:15:46 > 0:15:48Is that Pete Stanfield?
0:15:48 > 0:15:51No, his daughter. She's very worried about him.
0:15:51 > 0:15:52Tell them I'm on my way.
0:15:52 > 0:15:55Miss Stanfield? One of our doctors is on the way.
0:15:57 > 0:16:01So, this is the staff room, and you already know Daniel.
0:16:01 > 0:16:03Toni!
0:16:03 > 0:16:05How are you?
0:16:05 > 0:16:06You look fantastic.
0:16:07 > 0:16:10I've got a call that I've got to make now,
0:16:10 > 0:16:13- but we'll catch up properly later. - It's good to see you again.
0:16:13 > 0:16:16So let's finish the grand tour, then we can come back
0:16:16 > 0:16:20- and have a drink and a chat later. - OK.
0:16:21 > 0:16:23Oh. It's you.
0:16:23 > 0:16:24How's your dad?
0:16:27 > 0:16:29Hello, Dr Haskey.
0:16:29 > 0:16:31What's been happening?
0:16:31 > 0:16:32It's just a nosebleed.
0:16:32 > 0:16:34It won't stop. We've tried everything.
0:16:34 > 0:16:36Let's have a look at you.
0:16:37 > 0:16:38Hm.
0:16:41 > 0:16:42How are you feeling?
0:16:42 > 0:16:45Not brilliant. I've just been overdoing it.
0:16:45 > 0:16:46If I rest...
0:16:46 > 0:16:49I don't understand. This shouldn't be happening!
0:16:49 > 0:16:52I tried Dr Clarkwell, I've left him loads of messages
0:16:52 > 0:16:54- and he hasn't rung back. - There's a surprise.
0:16:54 > 0:16:57Don't worry, love. It's just a blip.
0:16:57 > 0:16:58No, it's not just a blip.
0:16:58 > 0:17:00Look, Pete, we need to get you into hospital.
0:17:00 > 0:17:02No. There's no need.
0:17:02 > 0:17:05- I say there is. - I'm feeling better.
0:17:05 > 0:17:08Thanks for coming out, but Bex shouldn't have called.
0:17:08 > 0:17:10I had to do something! I didn't know it was going to be him!
0:17:10 > 0:17:13You know what Dr Clarkwell said. No other doctors.
0:17:13 > 0:17:16I've have to stick to his regime.
0:17:16 > 0:17:18- But it's not working! - I'd like to call an ambulance.
0:17:18 > 0:17:22Now, I can't force you - it's your choice.
0:17:22 > 0:17:24Do I have your permission?
0:17:26 > 0:17:27Dad, please!
0:17:31 > 0:17:33PHONE RINGS
0:17:33 > 0:17:36Bugsy. Talk to me. What did you find?
0:17:38 > 0:17:40You are kidding me?
0:17:54 > 0:17:57How is he?
0:17:57 > 0:17:58Stable.
0:17:58 > 0:18:00You mean, he's dying.
0:18:01 > 0:18:04Yeah. That's what they think.
0:18:06 > 0:18:07I'm sorry.
0:18:07 > 0:18:09You should be. It's your fault.
0:18:09 > 0:18:11How do you work that out?
0:18:11 > 0:18:15He was getting better, and you ruined it.
0:18:15 > 0:18:18You told us that it wasn't real,
0:18:18 > 0:18:21that it was a placebo effect and we were deluding ourselves.
0:18:21 > 0:18:23He was fine till then.
0:18:23 > 0:18:26If we hadn't met you, he would have been all right.
0:18:26 > 0:18:29No. It's not possible at this stage.
0:18:29 > 0:18:31How can you know that? No-one can.
0:18:31 > 0:18:34We'd started to hope again, and you destroyed that.
0:18:34 > 0:18:36OK.
0:18:36 > 0:18:38Do you know what was in those tablets
0:18:38 > 0:18:41that...Mr Clarkwell had been giving your dad?
0:18:41 > 0:18:42What?
0:18:42 > 0:18:43Aspirin.
0:18:43 > 0:18:46It's the cheap brand, the kind you buy in a supermarket.
0:18:46 > 0:18:47No.
0:18:47 > 0:18:50Remember your dad gave me that tablet?
0:18:50 > 0:18:52I had a friend of mine analyse it.
0:18:52 > 0:18:56Do you know what aspirin does? It thins the blood.
0:18:56 > 0:18:58That's why your dad was getting so many nosebleeds.
0:18:58 > 0:19:02Tablets weren't curing him. If anything, they were making him worse.
0:19:02 > 0:19:04All this time...
0:19:04 > 0:19:08Yeah - Clarkwell's been lying to you. Can you see that now?
0:19:08 > 0:19:10But he really cares. He's been so kind!
0:19:10 > 0:19:14Yeah, course he has. Considering all the money you've been giving him!
0:19:14 > 0:19:17No wonder you couldn't get in contact with him.
0:19:17 > 0:19:21As soon as the confidence trick fails, you can't see them for dust.
0:19:21 > 0:19:22Bex.
0:19:25 > 0:19:27But who is she,
0:19:27 > 0:19:29I mean, apart from being an old mate of Zara's?
0:19:29 > 0:19:30She's a really good doctor.
0:19:30 > 0:19:32She's had a hard time.
0:19:32 > 0:19:35She was in a practice that was dissolved, recently divorced.
0:19:35 > 0:19:37She's been doing locum work here and there.
0:19:37 > 0:19:40She'd be the perfect replacement for Emma. Temporarily.
0:19:40 > 0:19:43That's reassuring - we can all be replaced.
0:19:43 > 0:19:44You know what I mean.
0:19:44 > 0:19:46I'm sure you'll make her feel very welcome.
0:19:46 > 0:19:51- Good! So, this is Mandy Marquez, head of our nursing staff. - Lovely to meet you.
0:19:51 > 0:19:52Now you've met everyone.
0:19:52 > 0:19:54So it's definite, then? You're Emma's replacement?
0:19:54 > 0:19:56Only till she's back on her feet.
0:19:56 > 0:19:58Oh, sorry, that sounds awful.
0:19:59 > 0:20:02So I guess the last thing to do is agree a start date.
0:20:02 > 0:20:05Well, as soon as possible would suit me.
0:20:05 > 0:20:08I'm sure Howard's got some standard contracts knocking around.
0:20:08 > 0:20:10- Let's go and make it official. - Great.
0:20:15 > 0:20:18- I've only just picked up your messages. I got here as soon as I could.- You came.
0:20:18 > 0:20:21Of course. Pete's my patient.
0:20:21 > 0:20:23Bex, he shouldn't be here.
0:20:23 > 0:20:26This is disrupting his treatment regime.
0:20:26 > 0:20:29Enough of that. We're keeping him comfortable here.
0:20:29 > 0:20:32Don't listen to Dr Haskey. Bex, you're 18, aren't you?
0:20:32 > 0:20:34You're his next-of-kin.
0:20:34 > 0:20:35You can get your father discharged,
0:20:35 > 0:20:37if he's not well enough to make that decision himself.
0:20:37 > 0:20:39Bex, we have to get him home.
0:20:39 > 0:20:42You know he doesn't want to die here.
0:20:42 > 0:20:43Do this for him.
0:20:43 > 0:20:45And if he comes home...
0:20:45 > 0:20:48We'll get him back on the proper treatment regime and he'll be OK.
0:20:48 > 0:20:51What, back on the aspirin?
0:20:52 > 0:20:53I'm sorry?
0:20:53 > 0:20:56That's your miracle cure, isn't it, aspirin?
0:20:56 > 0:20:57Yeah.
0:20:57 > 0:20:59So you can get stuffed.
0:20:59 > 0:21:00I beg your pardon?
0:21:00 > 0:21:04Go. Just get out. I don't want you anywhere near him.
0:21:04 > 0:21:06You're making a terrible mistake!
0:21:06 > 0:21:08You're putting your father's life at risk!
0:21:08 > 0:21:09Like you care!
0:21:09 > 0:21:12Just get out.
0:21:14 > 0:21:15As you wish.
0:21:21 > 0:21:23What are you looking so pleased about?
0:21:23 > 0:21:26It's your fault we went to him in the first place!
0:21:26 > 0:21:27How is it my fault?
0:21:27 > 0:21:29All the time you were dealing with my dad,
0:21:29 > 0:21:33you treated us like we were stupid, treated me like I was a little kid!
0:21:33 > 0:21:36You acted as though you couldn't care less.
0:21:36 > 0:21:37That's why we went to someone else.
0:21:37 > 0:21:41David... Well, at least he seemed like he cared.
0:21:41 > 0:21:43I care!
0:21:43 > 0:21:46No, you don't. Even now.
0:21:46 > 0:21:49You just wanted to be proved right.
0:21:49 > 0:21:51And you have been.
0:21:51 > 0:21:56We were scammed, we got ripped off. Dad's dying.
0:21:58 > 0:22:00Are you happy now?
0:22:08 > 0:22:10Rebecca...
0:22:10 > 0:22:12Go away.
0:22:12 > 0:22:15Look, you're right. I have been treating you like a kid.
0:22:15 > 0:22:16I'm sorry.
0:22:18 > 0:22:20Are you going to stay here?
0:22:20 > 0:22:22Obviously.
0:22:22 > 0:22:24- You should get something to eat, then.- I'm not hungry.
0:22:24 > 0:22:28You need fuel if you're going to stay here all night.
0:22:28 > 0:22:31How about I get you a hot drink, a coffee or a hot chocolate, yeah?
0:22:36 > 0:22:39You asked how much we paid him.
0:22:39 > 0:22:42£20,000.
0:22:42 > 0:22:45All the money Dad had saved to put me through uni,
0:22:45 > 0:22:47some from family, friends...
0:22:47 > 0:22:50You should sue. Get that money back.
0:22:50 > 0:22:52I'm going to report him to the police, to the GMC.
0:22:52 > 0:22:56Get him struck off. Selling aspirin as a cure for cancer
0:22:56 > 0:22:59is outrageous - we can do him for fraud.
0:22:59 > 0:23:01I can't think about that right now.
0:23:01 > 0:23:05No. Well, when you can, I can help you.
0:23:05 > 0:23:07Make sure he can't do this to anyone else.
0:23:07 > 0:23:11I dunno. It seemed to work for a bit.
0:23:11 > 0:23:13No.
0:23:13 > 0:23:16Dad got better. Even you noticed the change.
0:23:16 > 0:23:22I got my dad back, the way he used to be, before he got ill.
0:23:22 > 0:23:24How do you put a price on that?
0:23:24 > 0:23:29If you love someone, and they're dying, and you get them back,
0:23:29 > 0:23:31even for a day...
0:23:35 > 0:23:39Never mind. You wouldn't understand.
0:23:39 > 0:23:41It wasn't anything that that conman did...
0:23:41 > 0:23:42How do you know?
0:23:43 > 0:23:47Because I have seen it many times before.
0:23:50 > 0:23:53When someone is dying,
0:23:53 > 0:23:58they often get a respite just for a few hours or a day, even.
0:23:58 > 0:24:01A chance for them to say goodbye. That's not the medicine,
0:24:01 > 0:24:06it's nothing I've done, or the consultants, it's all your dad.
0:24:06 > 0:24:09He is fighting his cancer right to the bitter end.
0:24:11 > 0:24:15Not all the savings in the world can buy that.
0:24:15 > 0:24:17No. You can't get it on the NHS.
0:24:20 > 0:24:22Look, is there anyone I can call?
0:24:22 > 0:24:25Your mum, maybe?
0:24:25 > 0:24:28Mum walked out when I was five.
0:24:28 > 0:24:31Dad talked about getting in contact with her,
0:24:31 > 0:24:34when he was diagnosed, but we've lost touch.
0:24:35 > 0:24:39I don't need her. I'm going to be all right.
0:24:41 > 0:24:43Your dad must be so proud of you.
0:24:46 > 0:24:48Nan and Grandad are coming.
0:24:48 > 0:24:51They're getting a flight - they live in Spain.
0:24:53 > 0:24:57Thank you, but I'd like you to go now.
0:24:59 > 0:25:01I'm sick of all the doctors.
0:25:02 > 0:25:05None of them can do anything.
0:25:07 > 0:25:10I just want to be on my own with him.
0:25:25 > 0:25:28What has happened to Toni? I wouldn't have recognised her!
0:25:28 > 0:25:30I know. It's called being married to Ben
0:25:30 > 0:25:32and then going through a nasty divorce from him.
0:25:32 > 0:25:35Frankly, I don't know which is worse.
0:25:35 > 0:25:38- Anyway, is that all you can think of - her looks?- No, of course not.
0:25:38 > 0:25:41Well, I hope not, because she's saving our necks.
0:25:41 > 0:25:44OK, she may have let herself go a little bit, but it's not a crime.
0:25:44 > 0:25:45Why are you doing this?
0:25:45 > 0:25:47I'm being pragmatic.
0:25:47 > 0:25:49We need a locum, she needs a locum job.
0:25:49 > 0:25:51It's a perfect fit.
0:25:51 > 0:25:54And also I do think it would be good for her.
0:25:54 > 0:25:57Yeah. It also conveniently gets you out of doing the Well Woman clinic.
0:25:57 > 0:25:59Oh, yes, there is that too, yes.
0:25:59 > 0:26:01I knew you had an ulterior motive.
0:26:01 > 0:26:04Hang on a minute, has it not occurred to you that I might be helping somebody?
0:26:04 > 0:26:06I do help people occasionally, you know!
0:26:06 > 0:26:08I know you do. I didn't mean to be...nasty.
0:26:08 > 0:26:10Just give her a break, all right?
0:26:10 > 0:26:12She's been through a horrible time, so be nice to her.
0:26:12 > 0:26:15I'll be the soul of niceness, especially to Toni.
0:26:16 > 0:26:18Let's go home.
0:27:08 > 0:27:10There's a lurgy going round.
0:27:10 > 0:27:12Poor you. You should be at home, tucked up in bed.
0:27:12 > 0:27:14She's not been very well.
0:27:14 > 0:27:16OK. Can you be a bit more specific?
0:27:16 > 0:27:17Is everything all right?
0:27:17 > 0:27:19It's as all right as it ever is.
0:27:19 > 0:27:20What's wrong with her?
0:27:20 > 0:27:22Kelly might have scurvy.
0:27:22 > 0:27:25- It's the last time I tell you anything.- Niamh!
0:27:25 > 0:27:27I have a weapon!
0:27:27 > 0:27:29Show yourself or get out of my house.
