0:00:25 > 0:00:27- Stuck up cow!- Shh!

0:00:27 > 0:00:29You can't wake up someone who hasn't got a pulse!

0:00:29 > 0:00:32- Shut up, Mum!- I'm not sneaking out like some criminal!

0:00:32 > 0:00:35She never wanted us here in the first place.

0:00:35 > 0:00:38- That's not true.- Oh! Decided to show your face, have you?

0:00:38 > 0:00:40Look, you don't have to go.

0:00:40 > 0:00:43You thought she'd stay and keep you company, did you?

0:00:43 > 0:00:45- Mum.- I'm her family, not you.

0:00:45 > 0:00:47She doesn't want to stick around you.

0:00:47 > 0:00:49Not even cats would want to live with you!

0:00:49 > 0:00:52Yes, well, even cats wouldn't be welcome if they peed on the carpet.

0:00:52 > 0:00:55Wait for me outside.

0:00:55 > 0:00:59- Your boyfriend's better off dead than being stuck with you!- NOW, Mum!

0:01:05 > 0:01:07Emma, I'm so sorry.

0:01:07 > 0:01:10Why are you apologising? You're not responsible.

0:01:10 > 0:01:13And you don't have to go.

0:01:13 > 0:01:15I do. If I don't, she'll never make it.

0:01:17 > 0:01:21You know you've always got a home here, don't you? No matter what?

0:01:21 > 0:01:23Eesh!

0:01:24 > 0:01:26- I'd better go.- Take care.

0:01:29 > 0:01:33- It's not the end of the world. I'll see you at work, yeah?- Yeah.

0:01:37 > 0:01:41I'm still on my way. No, I'm not going to be late.

0:01:41 > 0:01:43I'm actually early.

0:01:43 > 0:01:47I won't. I just want to check that everything's OK with my application.

0:01:47 > 0:01:49It's fine, Mum. Please. She knows.

0:01:49 > 0:01:52That's why she's agreed to sign it for me.

0:01:52 > 0:01:54I've got to go. I love you.

0:02:03 > 0:02:06- What was all the shouting about? - I'll give you one guess.

0:02:06 > 0:02:09Ayesha shouldn't have gone with her. It's never going to work.

0:02:09 > 0:02:12You can't tell anyone that. It's family.

0:02:12 > 0:02:14- Maybe I should have tried. - And said what?

0:02:14 > 0:02:17"Give up, your mum's hopeless." That would have gone down well!

0:02:17 > 0:02:21- At least this way you gave them a chance.- Not much of one.

0:02:21 > 0:02:24It seems that my tolerance level isn't very high.

0:02:24 > 0:02:27I think you were an actual saint!

0:02:27 > 0:02:31And I'm not just saying that - I don't know anyone who would have done more for them.

0:02:31 > 0:02:33Maybe.

0:02:42 > 0:02:44Valerie!

0:02:46 > 0:02:48You look... How are you?

0:02:48 > 0:02:51Lucky to be here. The traffic's terrible.

0:02:53 > 0:02:57- What happened to the magazines? - We threw them out.

0:02:57 > 0:03:01They were looking a bit tatty. Anthony's sorting some more.

0:03:02 > 0:03:05Oh, I like reading the horoscopes.

0:03:05 > 0:03:08I know they're all old but I like to see if anything came true.

0:03:08 > 0:03:11- Are you sure you're ready to be back? You look...- What?

0:03:11 > 0:03:13Like you need a cup of tea.

0:03:13 > 0:03:15I'll, erm...

0:03:15 > 0:03:16I'll just go and make us one.

0:03:26 > 0:03:29- Not here.- Why? No-one will come in.

0:03:29 > 0:03:32- They will soon.- Not for ages.

0:03:32 > 0:03:36- I can't stop thinking about how you were last night.- Hmm.

0:03:40 > 0:03:44Look, if this gets out my life won't be worth living.

0:03:44 > 0:03:47It won't. Everyone else is doing it.

0:03:47 > 0:03:51So? It doesn't matter. I'm a target.

0:03:51 > 0:03:53You're gorgeous.

0:03:53 > 0:03:57No, seriously. Harper's got it in for me.

0:03:57 > 0:04:00- He's a stupid old man. - He's a dangerous old man.

0:04:00 > 0:04:02Get out!

0:04:12 > 0:04:15You expect me to sleep on that?

0:04:15 > 0:04:17I didn't know you were coming back, did I?

0:04:17 > 0:04:22- You can chuck most of it.- Can I? - All right, I'll do it.

0:04:25 > 0:04:29- No! You're just creating more mess. - That's what I thought.

0:04:38 > 0:04:41Look forward to seeing you. Bye-bye.

0:04:43 > 0:04:45See? He just did it again.

0:04:45 > 0:04:47Who are you talking about now?

0:04:47 > 0:04:51Mr Toth. Just keeps staring.

0:04:51 > 0:04:54Tell me honestly - is my wig on straight?

0:04:54 > 0:04:58- It's fine, but since we're being honest...- There she is!

0:04:59 > 0:05:02You look...well...

0:05:02 > 0:05:06Something's wrong. I look terrible - is that what everyone's saying?

0:05:06 > 0:05:10- No!- I didn't, no! - Is it the shadows? Death shadows!

0:05:10 > 0:05:13Don't be silly! I just think maybe you need a bit of lippy.

0:05:13 > 0:05:16- What do you think?- Absolutely!

0:05:16 > 0:05:20- Mrs McEwing.- It's just because you've been cooped up inside. Here.

0:05:22 > 0:05:26- Is this the one you're wearing? - Valerie, good to see you back!

0:05:26 > 0:05:28It's good to be back. At least, now it is.

0:05:28 > 0:05:31Sorry. Let's catch up later. Daniel's in, isn't he?

0:05:38 > 0:05:40- Right, I'm off. - You only just got here!

0:05:43 > 0:05:46- I've got work, don't I? - Why are we even bothering then?

0:05:46 > 0:05:50- You'll be all right. Just go for a walk.- A walk?

0:05:50 > 0:05:55The best way to keep your mind off temptation is to keep it on something else.

0:05:55 > 0:05:57The exercise will do you good.

0:05:57 > 0:06:01And remember to eat. Is there any food?

0:06:01 > 0:06:04- How should I know?- So look!

0:06:11 > 0:06:14If you need something, get it.

0:06:14 > 0:06:17- That ain't going to get me much. - Exactly.

0:06:19 > 0:06:21Take it back. I never asked you anyway.

0:06:23 > 0:06:27- You need to trust me more. - And you need to try a bit harder.

0:06:30 > 0:06:33We'll get there together, OK?

0:06:42 > 0:06:44Excuse me, Colette?

0:06:44 > 0:06:47You said you'd look at my application for the Halpenny.

0:06:47 > 0:06:49- Leave it.- Leave?

0:06:49 > 0:06:53- No, I meant leave it on the desk. - Sorry.

0:06:53 > 0:06:57For a second I thought you might have changed your mind.

0:07:01 > 0:07:02Excuse me?

0:07:02 > 0:07:07Well, you said you'd check it but that was before I...you know.

0:07:07 > 0:07:09Do you really think I'm that unprofessional?

0:07:09 > 0:07:13No! I was just worried, because I know.

0:07:13 > 0:07:16I won't tell anyone, though. In case you're concerned at all.

0:07:24 > 0:07:28Lucy could do with a taxi home. Could you call one for me, please?

0:07:28 > 0:07:31- If you could come and see us the same time next week.- OK.

0:07:34 > 0:07:39- Everything OK?- Yes. Fine. Just a bit tired, that's all.

0:07:39 > 0:07:41You all ready for the Student Union talk?

0:07:41 > 0:07:46- Damn! I forgot to pick up the kit. - Don't worry. They've got one there.

0:07:46 > 0:07:49- Right. OK. - Do you want some help?

0:07:49 > 0:07:51No. It's fine. I can sort myself out.

0:07:56 > 0:07:58- KNOCK ON DOOR - Come in.

0:07:59 > 0:08:01You wanted to see me?

0:08:02 > 0:08:05If it's about me being late again, I'm sorry.

0:08:05 > 0:08:08We had a small clinic and I spoke to Tash and she was fine about it.

0:08:08 > 0:08:11Was she? I'm still waiting for an explanation.

0:08:11 > 0:08:13KNOCK ON DOOR

0:08:13 > 0:08:19- Oh, sorry. I thought you were on your own!- We'll talk later.

0:08:19 > 0:08:21Is this a bad time?

0:08:21 > 0:08:25I thought we should have a catch-up. I've missed our little chats.

0:08:25 > 0:08:28As have I. As you can see I'm really rather busy...

0:08:28 > 0:08:30It's been quite hard for me.

0:08:30 > 0:08:32Most people don't really understand cancer.

0:08:32 > 0:08:36- It must be a relief being back here. - No, it's here I'm talking about!

0:08:36 > 0:08:38You don't expect much from the patients,

0:08:38 > 0:08:40but your fellow receptionists -

0:08:40 > 0:08:44you'd think they would know better than to say you look like death!

0:08:44 > 0:08:45No names mentioned.

0:08:47 > 0:08:48I should have checked the schedule.

0:08:48 > 0:08:51Made sure I was on with somebody more sympathetic.

0:08:51 > 0:08:54Where is Mrs Tembe? She at the campus?

0:08:54 > 0:08:57Or is it church business? She's got such a big heart.

0:08:57 > 0:09:00- PHONE RINGS - You know what? They take advantage of her.

0:09:00 > 0:09:02I'm sorry, I really should take this.

0:09:02 > 0:09:06Mrs Tembe no longer works here. You can ask Karen to fill you in on the details.

0:09:06 > 0:09:10Hello, Anthony Harker. Yes, thank you for getting back to me.

0:09:10 > 0:09:13KNOCK ON DOOR Hey, how's it going?

0:09:13 > 0:09:16Fine. Just trying to catch up.

0:09:16 > 0:09:19I won't keep you. I just want you to know I'm here.

0:09:19 > 0:09:21- Thanks.- So is Emma. PHONE RINGS

0:09:21 > 0:09:23Hi.

0:09:24 > 0:09:27Mr Brennock! Tell him I'll be right there.

0:09:27 > 0:09:30- What's that?- I completely forgot. I've got to go.- OK.

0:09:36 > 0:09:39GTP 325.

0:09:39 > 0:09:42- I'm ready with the RGS4. - In a minute.

0:09:44 > 0:09:47I need more liquid nitrogen.

0:09:47 > 0:09:50- I'm on it.- Both of you.

0:09:52 > 0:09:55- Go.- OK.

0:09:56 > 0:09:58Rach?

0:10:11 > 0:10:16- Finished sulking yet? Come on, Rach! - You could have warned me. - You could have knocked!

0:10:16 > 0:10:18It's my fault? Thanks very much!

0:10:18 > 0:10:20OK, I'm sorry. I should have told you.

0:10:20 > 0:10:22I don't want to know about your private life.

0:10:22 > 0:10:25- My sex life, you mean.- Shut up! - Sorry.

0:10:25 > 0:10:27- She won't even look at me. - Because you freaked her out.

0:10:27 > 0:10:30I was there to work! I have a right.

0:10:30 > 0:10:33She's supposed to sign my application. It's due tomorrow.

0:10:33 > 0:10:36Then she'll do it. Just give her a chance to cool down.

0:10:36 > 0:10:40Look, you don't know the pressure she's under. Money's tight.

0:10:40 > 0:10:42Any excuse, Harper will block her next Fellowship.

0:10:42 > 0:10:44She confides in you? How is that fair?

0:10:44 > 0:10:48I work like a dog to try and impress her and all you need to do is whisper in her ear.

0:10:48 > 0:10:50- I do more than whisper!- Great.

0:10:52 > 0:10:55You're serious? Come on! There's no conflict!

0:10:55 > 0:10:58How do I know? You could be applying for the same scholarships as I am.

0:10:58 > 0:11:03I'm not in the same league. You know that. Stop stressing.

0:11:03 > 0:11:05The way I see it, I get the girl as compensation.

0:11:05 > 0:11:09- She's not a girl. - That's true. That's very true.

0:11:10 > 0:11:13She might seem frosty on the outside

0:11:13 > 0:11:15but once you get to know her it's absolutely...

0:11:15 > 0:11:16GAS HISSES

0:11:16 > 0:11:18Turn it off!

0:11:22 > 0:11:25- There's been an accident. - What have you done? Is Neil all right?

0:11:25 > 0:11:30- He's OK. I think he's OK. - I'm all right. It missed me.

0:11:30 > 0:11:31Let me see.

0:11:31 > 0:11:34My mask protected me from most of it.

0:11:35 > 0:11:38- We need to get you to a doctor. - I just said I'm all right!

0:11:38 > 0:11:40Irrelevant. This is protocol.

0:11:44 > 0:11:47Hi, Jimmi. No, I'm on my way back.

0:11:47 > 0:11:51The talk at the Student Union was cancelled.

0:11:51 > 0:11:56He has to go to A & E? Well, do we even know if he's registered?

0:11:58 > 0:12:02No. Fine! It's not like I've got anything else I'd like to do.

0:12:02 > 0:12:05I suppose you'd like me to check on the lab rats while I'm there?

0:12:12 > 0:12:15Have any results come in for Mrs Talbot?

0:12:15 > 0:12:19Unless anything else has changed without people telling me, you should have received an e-mail.

0:12:19 > 0:12:23Oh, sorry. I'll double-check.

0:12:23 > 0:12:27- If and when Nurse Lee calls in, put her through to me. - Is there a problem?

0:12:27 > 0:12:30I've had two calls from patients saying she hasn't shown up.

0:12:30 > 0:12:32Right, do you want me to give her a ring?

0:12:32 > 0:12:35- Why? Is something going on? - Yes, is there?

0:12:35 > 0:12:37Sorry, could we just...

0:12:39 > 0:12:44As you know, she had some problems this morning but she has caught up

0:12:44 > 0:12:48and that's why I asked her to check on a patient for me.

0:12:48 > 0:12:51And what patient would that be?

0:12:51 > 0:12:55Mary...is her first name.

0:12:55 > 0:12:58I'd have to check the computer for her second name.

0:12:58 > 0:13:01Why don't I give her a call, see how they're getting on?

0:13:01 > 0:13:03- You do that.- OK.

0:13:07 > 0:13:09PHONE RINGS

0:13:14 > 0:13:18They're saying because it's a cold burn you have to go to A & E.

0:13:18 > 0:13:20Obviously, they're going to be disappointed.

0:13:20 > 0:13:22Why are you being so obstructive?

0:13:22 > 0:13:26I don't know. Maybe because of protocol?

0:13:28 > 0:13:32- Seriously? Are you really going to do this now?- Do what?

0:13:34 > 0:13:38What was that little stunt you pulled? Sending us both downstairs?

0:13:38 > 0:13:43- That is standard university procedure.- What a load of bull.

0:13:43 > 0:13:46As your supervisor, I have to ensure all students are accompanied.

0:13:46 > 0:13:49So formal all of a sudden!

0:13:53 > 0:13:55Is that really all I am?

0:13:55 > 0:13:58A student?

0:13:58 > 0:14:03You don't seem to understand - there's going to be an enquiry.

0:14:03 > 0:14:07- I could lose my funding.- Nothing happened!- But it could have done!

0:14:09 > 0:14:14They are going to examine everything in absolutely fine detail.

0:14:14 > 0:14:16Who's at fault? Why?

0:14:16 > 0:14:18One of you made a mistake, or both of you.

0:14:18 > 0:14:21- Not me! I...I was...- Excuse me? You turned on the valve.

0:14:21 > 0:14:24- You didn't put the hose in properly. - Because I wasn't ready!

0:14:24 > 0:14:27In case you've forgotten, you were pretty upset.

0:14:29 > 0:14:31I suppose that will come out as well?

0:14:33 > 0:14:37Because it's pretty unfair, me getting all that personal supervision.

0:14:37 > 0:14:40Rachel was just pointing that out.

0:14:42 > 0:14:46Hi. I'm Dr Reid. I understand that somebody's been burned?

0:14:50 > 0:14:53- What are you doing home? - I forgot my charger.

0:14:57 > 0:14:59I don't believe you.

0:15:01 > 0:15:05Caught me! But look! I got food!

0:15:05 > 0:15:08- Eesh, where are you going? - Away from you.

0:15:08 > 0:15:11But you're going to come back? Eesh?

0:15:24 > 0:15:26Did any of it splash further on to your neck or chest?

0:15:26 > 0:15:29- I don't think so. - OK, let's just have a look.

0:15:29 > 0:15:31- Is it possible to talk? - Just a second.

0:15:33 > 0:15:35I'm sorry about before.

0:15:36 > 0:15:38It's not an issue.

0:15:38 > 0:15:40In these sorts of environments

0:15:40 > 0:15:44personalities clash and difficulties like this can happen.

0:15:45 > 0:15:49- I didn't have any. - But you were upset.- Not with you.

0:15:50 > 0:15:54I appreciate that. Obviously, I have to take responsibility.

0:15:54 > 0:15:58So I have arranged for you both to change supervisors.

0:16:00 > 0:16:05- What?- Luckily, Stephen has agreed to take you both on.

0:16:05 > 0:16:07But...my application.

0:16:07 > 0:16:10You're talking about the Halpenny?

0:16:11 > 0:16:15Yeah, It's unlikely he'll be able to process it at this late stage.

0:16:18 > 0:16:21But of course there are other options - bursaries,

0:16:21 > 0:16:23or perhaps you might consider a loan,

0:16:23 > 0:16:25or maybe you could talk to your parents.

0:16:25 > 0:16:28My parents didn't go to university. They don't understand.

0:16:28 > 0:16:31All they see is the debt.

0:16:31 > 0:16:33- I'm sorry. It's just so hard. - I know.

0:16:33 > 0:16:37It's been a difficult decision, but it's for the best.

0:16:38 > 0:16:41Otherwise, today would have turned out much worse.

0:16:41 > 0:16:43It doesn't look too bad but you'll have to go to A & E.

0:16:43 > 0:16:46Seriously? Come on!

0:16:46 > 0:16:48Cold burns needs to be investigated properly.

0:16:48 > 0:16:52Is there someone who can go with you?

0:16:53 > 0:16:55I don't know.

0:16:56 > 0:16:58I suppose Rachel.

0:17:08 > 0:17:09GAS HISSES

0:17:09 > 0:17:11DISTORTED: Turn it off!

0:17:34 > 0:17:38- Forgiven, am I? - My phone's dead.

0:17:38 > 0:17:40I suppose you're going to pack that.

0:17:42 > 0:17:45It was just the one. It was nothing.

0:17:45 > 0:17:49I haven't had just the one can since I was pregnant with Sierra!

0:17:51 > 0:17:54That must have been hard for you.

0:17:54 > 0:17:57Not with Sierra. Kept throwing up, didn't I?

0:17:59 > 0:18:03- What about with me? - Oh, you. You were as good as gold.

0:18:04 > 0:18:08If I said I was sorry, would it make any difference?

0:18:08 > 0:18:10How can I trust you, Mum?

0:18:10 > 0:18:12Every time I leave you alone, you let us down.

0:18:12 > 0:18:14I was better than I was before.

0:18:14 > 0:18:18I got food. I even got you some fruit for your pudding!

0:18:18 > 0:18:21- Yeah? What? - What do you think?

0:18:21 > 0:18:24# Four banana, three banana...

0:18:24 > 0:18:26- Oh, no, don't! - # Two banana one...

0:18:26 > 0:18:29- Mum!- # All bananas sitting in the bright warm sun... #

0:18:29 > 0:18:31- You can't sing! - Never stopped me before.

0:18:31 > 0:18:34# Tra-la-la La-la-la-la... #

0:18:34 > 0:18:36SHE LAUGHS

0:18:38 > 0:18:42Those first few years with you were the happiest of my life.

0:18:42 > 0:18:45Even when we had to live with Granny and Grandad?

0:18:47 > 0:18:50Yeah, well, you could always wrap them round your little finger.

0:18:50 > 0:18:54Dad even used to let you play in his precious car.

0:18:54 > 0:18:56I'd be lucky if he'd give me a lift.

0:19:01 > 0:19:05Is that why you started? Because of him?

0:19:08 > 0:19:10Yeah, well...

0:19:11 > 0:19:16When you don't get love at home, you find it with your friends.

0:19:18 > 0:19:22I could have done better, though. They should have pushed me.

0:19:22 > 0:19:25- Like you did, you mean? - You're different.

0:19:25 > 0:19:27You can take care of yourself.

0:19:31 > 0:19:33- Hey, I'll make you some hot squash. - I can't stay.

0:19:33 > 0:19:36You've got to wait for your phone, don't you?

0:19:42 > 0:19:45- I don't know what makes you think she'd be here. - Then you suggest somewhere.

0:19:45 > 0:19:47Rachel! ALARM SOUNDS

0:19:47 > 0:19:49- What's that?- Liquid nitrogen! - Is it toxic?

0:19:49 > 0:19:53If the valve is open, it releases a gas that displaces the oxygen.

0:19:53 > 0:19:55- It needs time to dissipate. - She ain't got time!

0:19:55 > 0:20:00- No! Neil!- OK. Go and phone 999. And take him with you.

0:20:00 > 0:20:03No! Wait? No! Please stop! I have to go in there.

0:20:03 > 0:20:06We can't just leave her.

0:20:31 > 0:20:34I'm here to see Valerie Pitman. Where is she?

0:20:34 > 0:20:37She's in the loo trying out a new lipstick. Don't say anything.

0:20:37 > 0:20:41I thought that...this might be of interest.

0:20:41 > 0:20:44Wow! She's going to love that!

0:20:44 > 0:20:45Love what?

0:20:46 > 0:20:50I got this little memento for you.

0:20:50 > 0:20:52Is this your card?

0:20:52 > 0:20:56- Memento? I'm not dead yet!- Valerie!

0:20:56 > 0:20:58Sorry. Bad choice of words, but...

0:21:00 > 0:21:04Shame we can't wave the magic wand and hey, presto, the cancer's gone.

0:21:04 > 0:21:06Oh, don't be like that. We're trying to make you happy.

0:21:06 > 0:21:09Happy? Ha...

0:21:09 > 0:21:12Why would I want to be reminded of what I've been through?

0:21:12 > 0:21:14- I didn't mean to upset you, Val. - Well, you have.

0:21:17 > 0:21:20- Sorry.- I think you're being a bit unfair.

0:21:20 > 0:21:22He was just trying to be nice.

0:21:22 > 0:21:24You know what? I'm actually sick of everyone trying to be nice.

0:21:24 > 0:21:27"How are you, Valerie? How's the cancer, Valerie?

0:21:27 > 0:21:30"We're so proud of the way you're handling it, Valerie!"

0:21:30 > 0:21:35Everyone is just treating me like I'm one great big cancer cell!

0:21:35 > 0:21:40I've had it all day - from the patients, from you, from you!

0:21:40 > 0:21:44Cancer! Cancer! Cancer! I've just had enough!

0:21:44 > 0:21:47You were the one who decided to tell everyone.

0:21:47 > 0:21:51Yes, I did. And I really wish I hadn't!

0:22:04 > 0:22:09- We could have saved her. - We don't know that.- We do!

0:22:12 > 0:22:14- Happy now?- Don't do this.

0:22:14 > 0:22:18You made them take me away! Why?

0:22:18 > 0:22:21- There'll be time for questions later.- No. She needs to tell me now.

0:22:21 > 0:22:25Why Rachel had to die like that.

0:22:25 > 0:22:29- If you'd gone in there, you would have suffocated.- Like she did?

0:22:29 > 0:22:32We never listened.

0:22:32 > 0:22:37- We just...- Neil. Come on.

0:22:42 > 0:22:44She was all alone.

0:22:46 > 0:22:49No-one understood. She told me that.

0:22:51 > 0:22:54I just... I laughed.

0:22:54 > 0:22:56You didn't know.

0:22:59 > 0:23:01I let her down.

0:23:03 > 0:23:05We both did.

0:23:07 > 0:23:09Come on.

0:23:13 > 0:23:16Why did you go in?

0:23:20 > 0:23:25What kind of a question is that? To save someone!

0:23:25 > 0:23:27Except you knew she was probably already dead.

0:23:35 > 0:23:39- KNOCK ON DOOR - I need to talk to you.- OK.

0:23:42 > 0:23:47It's about that consultation you gave me all those months ago, when I asked you about my symptoms.

0:23:47 > 0:23:49Another doctor would have known.

0:23:49 > 0:23:53- Consultation?- I have got witnesses I can call upon.

0:23:53 > 0:23:55That wasn't a consultation, Valerie.

0:23:55 > 0:23:58That was a conversation. I was talking to you as a friend.

0:23:58 > 0:24:03You're a doctor. That conversation took place in your consulting room.

0:24:03 > 0:24:05For goodness' sake, Valerie.

0:24:05 > 0:24:10You gave me a diagnosis which I took comfort from and, as it turns out, I shouldn't have done.

0:24:10 > 0:24:14No. I seem to recall that you raved at me with an array of symptoms

0:24:14 > 0:24:17which most doctors would have dismissed as meaningless.

0:24:17 > 0:24:21I listened to you and advised you to go and see your own GP.

0:24:21 > 0:24:24- So you were trying to get rid of me? - Valerie!

0:24:25 > 0:24:28I know you're going through a difficult time but this

0:24:28 > 0:24:31- whatever this is - it's not going to help.

0:24:31 > 0:24:33I just want some answers.

0:24:35 > 0:24:37Yeah, of course you do. That's only natural.

0:24:40 > 0:24:43Look, sometimes, when things happen to us,

0:24:43 > 0:24:46our need to find an explanation for it leads us to associate meaning

0:24:46 > 0:24:48to things where there just isn't any.

0:24:48 > 0:24:53If something really great happens we'll say it's down to good luck.

0:24:53 > 0:24:57Or, conversely, if we're going through a really difficult,

0:24:57 > 0:25:01sticky patch, we look for something to blame.

0:25:01 > 0:25:03Someone to blame.

0:25:03 > 0:25:06Neither of those things, be it luck or blame, is right.

0:25:06 > 0:25:10Life is random. There are no explanations.

0:25:10 > 0:25:14It's part of the human condition to come to terms with that.

0:25:14 > 0:25:15Yeah?

0:25:17 > 0:25:21Look, I'm going to keep hold of this photograph because I really like it.

0:25:21 > 0:25:24When you want it, you come and get it off me. OK?

0:25:31 > 0:25:34PHONE RINGS

0:25:36 > 0:25:38- Here we go. - CLEARS THROAT

0:25:38 > 0:25:42There was a problem with my phone but I'm on my way now.

0:25:42 > 0:25:46Don't bother. I've arranged Tash to cover for you now.

0:25:46 > 0:25:50But tomorrow is a new day and I expect you here on time with no more excuses.

0:25:50 > 0:25:53This is your final warning. Do you understand?

0:25:53 > 0:25:55Yeah. I'll see you tomorrow.

0:25:59 > 0:26:01So, skiving, are we?

0:26:02 > 0:26:06I'm off for lunch, then St Phil's for the rest of the day.

0:26:06 > 0:26:08Is that in the diary?

0:26:09 > 0:26:12Things really have changed around here.

0:26:12 > 0:26:14They certainly have.

0:26:14 > 0:26:17I'm going to pop out while I can. Do you want to come with?

0:26:17 > 0:26:19No. I need to get myself organised.

0:26:19 > 0:26:22OK, Do you want me to bring you back something yummy?

0:26:22 > 0:26:24I can't eat dairy or carbohydrate

0:26:24 > 0:26:27- but animal fats are OK.- Animal fats.

0:26:46 > 0:26:51Hello. Yes. I would like to speak to somebody about medical malpractice.

0:26:53 > 0:26:55Thank you.

0:27:00 > 0:27:02What if I became a partner?

0:27:06 > 0:27:09- A spa?- Would you like to go?

0:27:10 > 0:27:12My daughter. She has gone missing.

0:27:12 > 0:27:17- Valerie is accusing me of malpractice.- That's ridiculous.

0:27:17 > 0:27:21Yasmin is missing and I think you know what has happened to her.
