DISTANT SIREN

0:00:260:00:29

BARKING

0:01:090:01:12

Hmm.

0:02:070:02:09

It's my money.

0:02:200:02:22

-Four weeks, are you actually...?

-Flapjack?

0:02:220:02:24

Ooh, flamin' Revenue!

0:02:240:02:27

Did you know if you wash your own uniform,

0:02:270:02:29

you can claim back hundreds of pounds?

0:02:290:02:31

-They're home-baked...

-Except they'll send it to your old address

0:02:310:02:34

so you have to cram a wild goose chase

0:02:340:02:35

into your house calls! Stuff them very much!

0:02:350:02:37

Good morning, Dr Reid.

0:02:370:02:40

Now, how was your Australian adventure?

0:02:400:02:42

Did you get your hair cut there?

0:02:420:02:44

Oh, yes, well, it was so hot.

0:02:440:02:46

Oh, Mrs Tembe, it was wonderful and it was so lovely to see Chris!

0:02:460:02:49

He's doing really well.

0:02:490:02:51

That is wonderful to hear.

0:02:510:02:54

Are you standing in for Valerie?

0:02:540:02:56

She hasn't taken a turn for the worse, has she?

0:02:560:02:59

No, no, not that I am aware of.

0:02:590:03:01

No, we have a new practice manager starting today,

0:03:010:03:04

so here I am, back on home ground.

0:03:040:03:08

I've started baking again!

0:03:080:03:11

Now that I have time to do such things.

0:03:110:03:14

Well, it's very nice to see you.

0:03:140:03:17

You all right, love? Are you looking for something?

0:03:240:03:26

-No.

-I've got the best...

0:03:260:03:29

-Are you looking for anything?

-No.

0:03:290:03:30

-Are you sure?

-Yeah.

-Listen, I've got the white, the light,

0:03:300:03:33

the bright, the dirty, the black. Whatever you want, mate, you sure?

0:03:330:03:36

-How you doing? You looking for anything?

-No, thanks.

0:03:360:03:38

You look like a speed man, yourself. Trust me, mate.

0:03:380:03:41

I can tell by the look of you, mate, your wife would be impressed by you.

0:03:410:03:44

BANGING

0:04:150:04:17

Look, just chill, Nanny, OK? Just, please, look, just chill, OK?

0:04:190:04:22

James?

0:04:220:04:24

Is that you?

0:04:240:04:26

Yeah...

0:04:260:04:27

Yeah, it is me.

0:04:270:04:29

PHONE RINGS

0:04:400:04:42

The Mill Health Centre, how may I help you?

0:04:430:04:46

Yes, I...

0:04:460:04:49

I'm sorry, I mean the practice manager is not in yet.

0:04:490:04:54

-Would you like to leave a message?

-Sorry.

0:04:540:04:57

Yes, yes, of course, that is fine.

0:04:580:05:01

Right, thank you. Goodbye.

0:05:010:05:04

Sorry, doesn't time fly when you're having fun?

0:05:040:05:08

-Must be why I'm always late!

-How is the treatment going?

0:05:080:05:12

Well, it's as to be expected.

0:05:120:05:15

Been sick just about everywhere, apart from the toilet.

0:05:150:05:18

I've got a complexion the colour of reheated porridge

0:05:180:05:20

and I'm losing my hair,

0:05:200:05:22

Still, my nails are going strong, bit of a touch up!

0:05:220:05:25

And I know what I'm in for, next round tomorrow.

0:05:250:05:27

Perhaps you would be better off at home?

0:05:270:05:29

No, busy is better than fretting, isn't it?

0:05:290:05:33

Well, I must say, the wig is looking wonderful.

0:05:330:05:37

I thought I would go the full Bride of Frankenstein,

0:05:370:05:40

seeing as I am still among the ranks of the undead.

0:05:400:05:43

Sorry, I'm embracing off-colour humour.

0:05:450:05:48

You have to adjust, don't you? This is it.

0:05:480:05:50

-Life for the foreseeable.

-Yes.

0:05:500:05:53

Later!

0:05:530:05:54

I am sorry, we are not officially open yet. Who are you here to see?

0:05:560:06:00

Ah, everyone, I imagine.

0:06:000:06:02

I'm sorry. Anthony Harker, the new practice manager.

0:06:020:06:06

Oh! It is I who should apologise.

0:06:060:06:09

Please.

0:06:090:06:11

Home-made flapjacks.

0:06:110:06:14

Thank you.

0:06:140:06:15

I am Mrs Tembe, the receptionist.

0:06:150:06:19

I am so very pleased to meet you.

0:06:190:06:23

You should have told me you were coming, I haven't got a thing in.

0:06:250:06:28

-Don't worry about it.

-How long has it been?

0:06:280:06:31

It must be...three years.

0:06:310:06:35

Yeah! It must be.

0:06:350:06:38

You'd find me, after everything.

0:06:380:06:40

I told you it was the washing machine, didn't I?

0:06:400:06:42

Eh?

0:06:420:06:44

Brought the whole kitchen ceiling down, terrible mess.

0:06:440:06:48

I didn't want to go, of course, but I couldn't have stayed,

0:06:480:06:51

not with all that work going on.

0:06:510:06:53

But at least it was only next door.

0:06:530:06:56

So, you got my letter?

0:06:560:06:58

Or you wouldn't have known where to look.

0:07:000:07:03

-It's just lucky they didn't move me further.

-Yeah.

0:07:030:07:07

May I introduce you to Dr Vere?

0:07:090:07:14

-This is Mr Anthony Harker.

-Hello.

0:07:140:07:17

Our new practice manager.

0:07:170:07:18

Dr Vere is one of our newest and most committed doctors,

0:07:180:07:22

and I am sure, like the rest of us,

0:07:220:07:24

he will put his weight behind your leadership.

0:07:240:07:27

Course. Very nice to meet you.

0:07:270:07:29

Likewise. I've been admiring your antibiotics campaign from afar,

0:07:290:07:32

especially the social media side.

0:07:320:07:34

"Antibiotics Use Goes Viral" really got people buzzing.

0:07:340:07:37

I hope so.

0:07:370:07:39

We must have a chat, see what we can do to help you push it even further.

0:07:390:07:42

-Any time.

-Oh, I'm sorry, this is Dr Donoghue.

0:07:420:07:45

Mr Anthony Harker, our new practice manager.

0:07:450:07:48

Which appears to surprise everyone!

0:07:480:07:50

Just as well I didn't cycle in.

0:07:500:07:52

Nothing says "professional"

0:07:520:07:53

like turning up on your first day in sweaty Lycra.

0:07:530:07:55

New Year's resolution, I promised myself I'd bike the 20 miles here

0:07:550:07:59

-and back at least twice a week.

-Well, that is commendable.

0:07:590:08:02

See, if I did that, I'd have to lie down in a dark room for a week.

0:08:020:08:05

Well, I've got to build up my stamina, haven't I, if I'm going

0:08:050:08:08

to keep up with all the good work going on around here.

0:08:080:08:10

Well, Dr Donoghue is our wonderful patient participation group liaison.

0:08:100:08:14

Yes, I was somewhat persuaded into that role.

0:08:140:08:17

Really? How are you finding it?

0:08:170:08:19

Rewarding and inspiring...

0:08:190:08:21

and sometimes I want to jump on a bike

0:08:210:08:23

and cycle 20 miles in the other direction.

0:08:230:08:25

Well, my bike is your bike.

0:08:250:08:27

Seriously though, I hope you'll let me sit in

0:08:270:08:30

on your next group meeting, offer moral support, make tea!

0:08:300:08:32

But, most of all, to observe.

0:08:320:08:34

It's amazing what you can pick up.

0:08:340:08:36

Have you got any more of this cake?

0:08:360:08:39

No, that was the last of it, darling.

0:08:390:08:41

It's good, isn't it? From the bakers on the high street.

0:08:410:08:44

There's a lovely girl in there, always puts one aside.

0:08:440:08:47

she's got wavy hair and glasses. You'd remember her from school.

0:08:470:08:52

-I could make you a sandwich!

-No, you're all right.

0:08:520:08:54

Why don't you go and lie down or something?

0:08:540:08:56

-No, no, no...

-Yes, go on. I'll be all right.

0:08:560:09:00

I know, I'm sorry.

0:09:000:09:01

But you can't blame me for wanting to look after you a little bit.

0:09:010:09:05

After so long...

0:09:050:09:07

No, course. But I'm fine, ain't I?

0:09:070:09:11

Yes. Fine.

0:09:110:09:13

DOORBELL RINGS

0:09:130:09:15

Oh, who can that be? Another visitor...

0:09:150:09:18

Hi, Pat? Have I got the wrong flat, or something?

0:09:200:09:24

Oh, hello, darling!

0:09:240:09:25

No, they just put me into your old flat when mine got flooded.

0:09:250:09:28

Come in, come in. You must meet my grandson.

0:09:280:09:30

James?

0:09:300:09:31

Such a lovely surprise. He's just back from Malaysia,

0:09:310:09:34

been working out there, haven't you?

0:09:340:09:37

Nice.

0:09:370:09:38

-And remember, I told you about Ayesha.

-Yeah.

0:09:380:09:40

My lovely neighbour when we lived next door?

0:09:400:09:43

Used to read my post for me sometimes.

0:09:430:09:45

Actually, that's why I'm here.

0:09:450:09:47

You haven't received any post for me, have you?

0:09:470:09:49

Oh, I don't know, darling, I think there's some on the table.

0:09:490:09:52

Well, look, anyway, welcome aboard!

0:09:550:09:57

And you're in good hands here,

0:09:570:09:59

so I'd better get back to the coalface.

0:09:590:10:01

Here, here, here.

0:10:010:10:03

Oh, take one to go.

0:10:030:10:05

No...

0:10:050:10:06

There is plenty to go around.

0:10:060:10:08

Lucky for us.

0:10:080:10:09

Well, now, there are a few more introductions to do.

0:10:130:10:16

At the campus surgery,

0:10:160:10:18

and, of course, there is Dr Reid.

0:10:180:10:20

She suffered the greatest loss with the passing

0:10:200:10:23

of our previous practice manager, Mr Bellamy.

0:10:230:10:26

Ah, I was wondering

0:10:260:10:28

if perhaps one more might have slipped through the net.

0:10:280:10:31

Wasn't there an acting practice manager, in the interim?

0:10:310:10:34

Yes, well... someone had to step into the breach.

0:10:340:10:37

Well, you certainly seem to have taken it in your stride,

0:10:370:10:40

holding everything together at a difficult time.

0:10:400:10:43

But did you not want to stay on?

0:10:430:10:45

Well...actually I was considered for the position.

0:10:470:10:51

Well, the interview process was very thorough,

0:10:520:10:56

and the most able candidate was selected.

0:10:560:10:59

Which is how it should be, because the welfare of the patients

0:10:590:11:02

and the practice is all that matters.

0:11:020:11:04

I couldn't agree more. And I'm hoping we'll make a great team.

0:11:040:11:07

Yes, and I will strive to facilitate a smooth transition.

0:11:070:11:10

To that end, I have made a few notes...

0:11:100:11:14

if it will help?

0:11:140:11:15

Sure.

0:11:150:11:16

-Tea?

-Lovely.

0:11:160:11:18

They're expanding left, right and centre,

0:11:200:11:23

you said, didn't you?

0:11:230:11:24

Yeah. All over.

0:11:240:11:26

The whole of the Far East, communications or something?

0:11:260:11:29

Yes, something like that.

0:11:290:11:31

I'll not pretend to understand, but it gets ever so hot out there,

0:11:310:11:34

the whole year round.

0:11:340:11:36

Oh, could do with some of that over here, couldn't we?

0:11:360:11:38

But they still expect him to wear a shirt and tie at all times.

0:11:380:11:41

-Yeah?

-Yeah.

0:11:410:11:43

When I started back, they made me dig out my old winter clothes,

0:11:430:11:46

-didn't they?

-You should stay for lunch,

0:11:460:11:49

catch up on the neighbourhood goss.

0:11:490:11:50

I still want a few things from the shop.

0:11:500:11:52

-Oh, I wish I could, but I've got housecalls to do.

-Oh...

0:11:520:11:55

I'm with you in spirit, though, babe! Next time, eh?

0:11:550:11:58

-All right, darling.

-Take care.

0:11:580:12:01

Just the two of us, then.

0:12:010:12:03

Yes, I know, and I am sorry.

0:12:080:12:09

If you'd just like to take a seat, then I will try and sort it out.

0:12:090:12:13

-Is everything all right?

-No, it's fine.

0:12:130:12:15

It's just one of those crazy days, like when the clocks change.

0:12:150:12:19

All these people think they've got appointments that don't exist!

0:12:190:12:22

-Oh.

-Don't worry though, because I will fit them all in.

0:12:220:12:24

Luckily, we've got plenty of no shows for appointments that do exist.

0:12:240:12:28

So, you will be able to manage for a while, while I help Mr Harker?

0:12:280:12:32

Yeah, no, I'll be fine.

0:12:320:12:34

You've got better things to do than looking over my shoulder.

0:12:340:12:37

Who's Mr Harker, anyway?

0:12:370:12:39

Oh...!

0:12:390:12:41

He is our newly appointed practice manager.

0:12:430:12:46

He's what?!

0:12:480:12:49

PEOPLE RUNNING

0:12:530:12:55

Try that one.

0:12:560:12:57

BANGING

0:12:570:12:59

-You got him in here, love?

-What?

0:13:050:13:06

"What?" The lad! Scrawny little toerag.

0:13:060:13:09

I know he's in here somewhere.

0:13:090:13:11

No, that was my grandson, James.

0:13:110:13:13

James, right.

0:13:130:13:14

James? Where are you?

0:13:140:13:16

No, he's not here.

0:13:160:13:18

James! Come on, little piggy, or we're coming in!

0:13:180:13:20

No!

0:13:200:13:22

It's outrageous.

0:13:280:13:30

Will you be quiet, they will hear you.

0:13:300:13:32

They should! I don't know what Daniel was thinking.

0:13:320:13:36

Or Jimmi! Someone should set them straight.

0:13:360:13:38

The process was both fair and proper.

0:13:380:13:40

Fair?!

0:13:400:13:42

You are the best, kindest, most loyal human being,

0:13:420:13:45

and they have stabbed you in the back with this.

0:13:450:13:48

No-one has stabbed me!

0:13:480:13:49

Armani Judas!

0:13:490:13:51

And he seemed so nice!

0:13:510:13:53

Oh, Emma, Emma...

0:13:530:13:55

I bet Emma gives him short shrift.

0:13:550:13:57

Hi, nice to meet you, I'm the new practice manager.

0:13:570:13:59

Look, just take it, man, take it. I'm sorry.

0:14:070:14:09

You think that's it, we're square?

0:14:090:14:12

You can think again.

0:14:120:14:14

Oh, yeah, I'm getting a sense of the really great team spirit here.

0:14:160:14:19

All credit due to Howard, I'm sure.

0:14:190:14:21

Oh, well, not just Howard.

0:14:210:14:23

Ah, yes.

0:14:230:14:25

And I must admit to being a tad daunted there.

0:14:250:14:28

Mrs Tembe is quite something,

0:14:280:14:30

and clearly knows this place down to the last thermometer.

0:14:300:14:33

Oh, and how.

0:14:330:14:34

As well as having the means and the motive to tell me

0:14:340:14:36

exactly where to stick it.

0:14:360:14:38

No, she's far too professional for that.

0:14:380:14:40

Well, not until she's got all the paperwork in place first.

0:14:400:14:42

Sorry, I have those notes,

0:14:420:14:45

if this is a good time?

0:14:450:14:47

Of course!

0:14:470:14:48

I'll leave you to it.

0:14:480:14:50

I was worried. I thought you might have got lost.

0:14:520:14:56

There are some rough types knocking about, you know.

0:14:560:14:59

No. Just...took a little longer than expected, that's all.

0:14:590:15:04

And it didn't cost me half as much as I thought.

0:15:040:15:07

Ah, you're a lovely boy.

0:15:070:15:09

And now I'll do you a proper lunch.

0:15:090:15:11

Yeah. Thanks.

0:15:110:15:13

James? What is it, what's wrong?

0:15:130:15:18

Nothing.

0:15:180:15:19

There is.

0:15:190:15:21

And here's me making you run errands.

0:15:210:15:24

Come on, now.

0:15:250:15:28

You know you can tell me anything.

0:15:280:15:30

You were right.

0:15:340:15:35

I lost my way.

0:15:370:15:39

And here you can see the rotated allocation of rooms

0:15:410:15:45

for non-partner doctors, cross-referenced and colour-coded

0:15:450:15:49

against the duty rota for the campus surgery.

0:15:490:15:52

It helps to reduce territorial squabbling.

0:15:520:15:56

We do try to maintain consistency as much as possible.

0:15:560:16:00

It saves time if everyone knows where they are supposed to be.

0:16:000:16:04

Well, you've certainly been busy.

0:16:040:16:06

-Not there!

-Sorry, I didn't mean you,

0:16:060:16:08

I meant him.

0:16:080:16:09

If you could just take a seat, I will try and fit you in.

0:16:090:16:12

Miss Valerie Pitman,

0:16:120:16:14

may I introduce to you our new practice manager, Mr Harker.

0:16:140:16:18

Oh, yes. Delivery for you.

0:16:180:16:21

I wish I had time for niceties,

0:16:210:16:22

but some of us have got better things to do

0:16:220:16:24

than take personal deliveries which are causing a dangerous obstruction,

0:16:240:16:27

-not to mention a fire hazard.

-Miss Pitman, this is not appropriate!

0:16:270:16:30

No, no, quite right. I'll get them out of your way.

0:16:300:16:33

What on earth?! That is your new boss!

0:16:370:16:40

Well, he shouldn't be!

0:16:400:16:41

And he's not going to be my boss anyway

0:16:410:16:43

because I'm going to be out of here soon enough,

0:16:430:16:45

which actually is fine by me cos it turns out I can't cope.

0:16:450:16:48

-What?

-Well, I am trying my best to sort everything out,

0:16:480:16:51

but if everyone keeps insisting it's the 18th and not the 19th, I...

0:16:510:16:54

It is the 18th!

0:16:540:16:55

Of January, 2016.

0:16:570:17:00

Oh, my...

0:17:020:17:03

I've just rearranged all the appointments for tomorrow.

0:17:050:17:08

My head is so full of my own appointment on the 19th

0:17:100:17:13

and impending unemployment, that I just...

0:17:130:17:17

-It turns out I'm not even fit to be employed.

-It will be all right.

0:17:170:17:21

It is important not to panic.

0:17:210:17:25

I will try to restore the appointment database.

0:17:250:17:31

Why don't you take an early lunch

0:17:310:17:35

and I will try to restore the appointments on the database.

0:17:350:17:40

Go on.

0:17:400:17:41

When I left home, I thought, "This is it."

0:17:480:17:53

The whole wide world right in front of me.

0:17:540:17:57

And I was going to crack it, you know?

0:17:570:17:59

But then...

0:18:010:18:03

..nothing I did went right.

0:18:050:18:07

Just one bad thing after the next.

0:18:090:18:12

And I looked, the world chewed me up and spat me out.

0:18:120:18:15

But you're back now, with me.

0:18:150:18:17

Everything's going to be OK.

0:18:190:18:21

DOORBELL RINGS

0:18:210:18:23

-Oh, who's that now?

-No, just leave it.

0:18:230:18:25

It's all right, I'll get rid of them.

0:18:250:18:27

Hiya, thought I'd take you up on that offer of a cuppa after all.

0:18:320:18:36

Catch up on all the goss.

0:18:360:18:38

What happened to you?

0:18:430:18:44

Nothing. I fell.

0:18:440:18:46

James, you're hurt?

0:18:460:18:50

Why didn't you say anything?

0:18:500:18:51

No, he's all right, Pat. Just a few scrapes, that's all.

0:18:510:18:55

Why don't you put the kettle on? And I'll...see to James.

0:18:550:18:58

KNOCKING

0:19:030:19:05

I thought...

0:19:070:19:09

That's better, don't you think? Thank you.

0:19:230:19:26

Though I could have organised the delivery a bit better.

0:19:260:19:29

No...

0:19:290:19:31

the thing is, Miss Pitman was acting out of a touching,

0:19:310:19:34

but misguided, loyalty to me.

0:19:340:19:36

In her defence, she has been under significant strain.

0:19:360:19:40

Please, take a seat.

0:19:400:19:42

Ow. Ow!

0:19:470:19:49

-Oh, stings, does it?

-Yes.

0:19:490:19:50

-Maybe you should go to A & E then?

-No, thanks, I'm all right.

0:19:500:19:53

Yeah. You must be feeling pretty all right

0:19:530:19:55

to be scamming a vulnerable old lady, "James".

0:19:550:19:57

Aidan. Ade.

0:19:570:19:59

Look, I was just after somewhere to hide when...

0:20:010:20:03

Look, someone was...

0:20:050:20:07

When she opened the door,

0:20:070:20:09

I didn't know she wanted me to be her long-lost whatever...

0:20:090:20:12

So, you played along for anything you could get

0:20:120:20:14

-your grubby little mitts on.

-I was hungry!

0:20:140:20:17

She gave me cake. I wasn't going to hurt her.

0:20:170:20:20

Then you need to tell her the truth. Make it right.

0:20:200:20:23

-Oh, cheers, my cheque. I didn't mean that.

-How can I tell her this?

0:20:330:20:37

Hmm?

0:20:380:20:39

Do you know what, you tell her.

0:20:420:20:43

What do I know about doing the right thing?

0:20:430:20:46

I'm just a scumbag, a nobody who wants to scam old ladies.

0:20:460:20:50

Three sausages all right, James?

0:20:520:20:55

DOOR CLOSES

0:20:570:20:58

Quite a morning, eh? Whew!

0:21:120:21:15

I am so sorry.

0:21:150:21:17

I'm not normally rude, or inefficient.

0:21:170:21:19

At least, I try not to be, but I just got myself into such a pickle.

0:21:190:21:22

It's a tough one, isn't it?

0:21:220:21:25

Having to drag yourself back in to work after treatment.

0:21:250:21:28

And it hits different people in different ways.

0:21:280:21:30

No-one knows exactly what you're going through.

0:21:300:21:33

It can be a lonely road.

0:21:330:21:34

Yeah.

0:21:340:21:35

My mum used to say work helped take her mind off it.

0:21:360:21:39

She struggled, even on reduced hours. And the pills!

0:21:390:21:43

25 a day at one point.

0:21:430:21:44

Tell me about it, I'm a human maraca.

0:21:440:21:47

And numb fingers and toes made things hard.

0:21:470:21:49

Taking a pulse, dressings, doing up buttons...

0:21:490:21:52

She's a nurse?

0:21:520:21:54

Was.

0:21:540:21:55

So...

0:21:570:21:59

..I know it can't be easy, juggling all that

0:22:000:22:03

and having to deal with other people's medical problems.

0:22:030:22:06

No. It's just...

0:22:060:22:07

It's just that when I look ahead,

0:22:070:22:10

all I can see is uncertainty.

0:22:100:22:12

The cancer, the treatment, work...

0:22:120:22:16

Well, how about you leave that last one with me,

0:22:160:22:19

and we'll see what we can do?

0:22:190:22:21

And if you're due in hospital tomorrow,

0:22:230:22:25

you should really be at home getting some rest.

0:22:250:22:27

-My mum would insist.

-Yeah, but...

-I'm sure Mrs Tembe will cope.

0:22:270:22:31

Is he in the bathroom?

0:22:340:22:35

He's...

0:22:350:22:37

-DOOR BANGS

-James?

0:22:370:22:39

Yeah. I'm here.

0:22:390:22:41

Oh.

0:22:410:22:42

But, I'm not who you think I am.

0:22:440:22:47

I just let you believe it.

0:22:490:22:51

I lied.

0:22:520:22:55

Not about everything, some of it was true.

0:22:550:22:57

I really have messed things up.

0:22:580:23:00

But I'm not him though.

0:23:020:23:05

And I'm sorry, OK?

0:23:050:23:07

I just couldn't tell you, because...

0:23:090:23:10

It's all right, darling,

0:23:100:23:12

-I just wanted to know how many sausages you wanted?

-No, but...

0:23:120:23:16

Never mind, I've done plenty.

0:23:160:23:18

There, you see? Just as it was.

0:23:260:23:30

-No need to worry.

-Oh, thanks.

0:23:300:23:33

I know I probably blew it out of all proportion into some major crisis.

0:23:330:23:36

And I shouldn't have blown up at Anthony like that.

0:23:370:23:40

You're right, he's lovely, isn't he?

0:23:400:23:43

Do you know, he's insisted I go home early to rest?

0:23:430:23:46

And on his first day, who'd have thought?

0:23:460:23:48

-Really?

-Mm.

0:23:480:23:50

And he's ever so knowledgeable about lots of things, even chemo.

0:23:500:23:53

Just what the practice needs.

0:23:530:23:55

And it'll take the load off you, of course!

0:23:550:23:57

Yes. Yes, of course.

0:23:570:24:00

No, I am sure he will be a great asset, and a great leader.

0:24:000:24:04

That is why, whatever our expectations,

0:24:040:24:08

we must all pull together and support him.

0:24:080:24:11

Pat...

0:24:240:24:26

There's a letter here, from six months back.

0:24:270:24:30

It's from James's work.

0:24:310:24:33

-There's been an accident...

-I know what it says.

0:24:350:24:37

They called me and told me.

0:24:370:24:39

But people make mistakes, don't they?

0:24:410:24:43

Happens all the time.

0:24:430:24:45

Here we go, darling.

0:25:020:25:04

-Look, you know what, I should go.

-Please, don't.

0:25:090:25:12

-Pat, he's not...

-You don't know.

0:25:120:25:15

I know his face.

0:25:210:25:23

This is my boy.

0:25:260:25:28

And he's all that I have.

0:25:290:25:31

And we should make the most of the time we have together.

0:25:330:25:36

You'll be off on your adventures again soon.

0:25:380:25:41

She knows me too well.

0:25:430:25:45

KNOCKING

0:25:510:25:52

Come in!

0:25:520:25:54

I just wanted to say thank you.

0:25:550:25:58

Miss Pitman is much comforted.

0:25:580:26:01

My pleasure. It's my job.

0:26:010:26:03

Yes, and mine.

0:26:030:26:05

Well, to remain alert to the goings-on at the Mill.

0:26:050:26:09

Perhaps, an extra pair of eyes and ears.

0:26:110:26:14

In the hope, as you say, in creating a great team.

0:26:140:26:17

Well, you cannot be everywhere at once.

0:26:170:26:20

Oh, I don't know. You seem to manage it.

0:26:200:26:23

Actually, in the light of today's events,

0:26:250:26:28

I wondered if it would be helpful if I ran through

0:26:280:26:31

my detailed and comprehensive notes on the staff?

0:26:310:26:34

It is all the little things that you will not find in their personnel files.

0:26:340:26:38

Of course.

0:26:380:26:39

Perhaps if you will just give me a couple of minutes?

0:26:390:26:42

Yes, yes, yes.

0:26:420:26:43

Richard?

0:26:570:26:59

No point wasting energy wishing things were different.

0:26:590:27:02

Besides, you get to meet some interesting people here.

0:27:020:27:06

Shall we go back inside? It shouldn't be long now.

0:27:060:27:08

This is frightening, all right?

0:27:080:27:10

I think we should talk about the elephant in the room.

0:27:100:27:13

I know nobody wants to think about it particularly,

0:27:130:27:15

but what are we going to do about Valerie?

0:27:150:27:18
