0:00:36 > 0:00:40Morning, Alice. Just unblocking this drain.

0:00:40 > 0:00:42You haven't got any problems your end, have you?

0:00:44 > 0:00:46How are you coping? Everything all right?

0:00:46 > 0:00:47Yes, thank you.

0:00:47 > 0:00:49Just off to the shops?

0:00:49 > 0:00:50I just need a few things for lunch.

0:00:50 > 0:00:52I can fix you something if you like? I've got plenty in.

0:00:52 > 0:00:54No, that won't be necessary.

0:00:54 > 0:00:56At least let me give you a lift.

0:00:56 > 0:00:57No, thank you.

0:01:08 > 0:01:09Hi.

0:01:09 > 0:01:11Sorry I'm late.

0:01:11 > 0:01:12No, you're not.

0:01:13 > 0:01:14I'm glad you called.

0:01:15 > 0:01:17You went a little bit quiet on me.

0:01:18 > 0:01:21Yes. I'm sorry about that.

0:01:22 > 0:01:24I'm guessing we need to talk?

0:01:25 > 0:01:26Nice perfume.

0:01:26 > 0:01:28Thanks. I save it for special occasions.

0:01:30 > 0:01:33I thought I might have heard from you at the weekend.

0:01:33 > 0:01:35I had some friends staying, I was busy, so...

0:01:37 > 0:01:39But I had nothing on today.

0:01:39 > 0:01:41Thanks for the vote of confidence(!)

0:01:41 > 0:01:43I'm sorry. I didn't mean it like that.

0:01:43 > 0:01:46Relax. I don't bite.

0:01:47 > 0:01:49Well, not often anyway.

0:01:50 > 0:01:55Oh, thanks. We'll start with a couple of glasses of champagne.

0:01:55 > 0:01:56Of course.

0:01:58 > 0:02:02(Life's always better with a bit of fizz, don't you think?)

0:02:04 > 0:02:06KNOCK AT DOOR

0:02:06 > 0:02:07Hello?

0:02:11 > 0:02:14Hi, erm... How's the research going?

0:02:14 > 0:02:17Nearly finished. I brought you a cup of tea.

0:02:17 > 0:02:18Thank you.

0:02:22 > 0:02:24Just how I like it. Well done.

0:02:24 > 0:02:25I made some cupcakes too.

0:02:25 > 0:02:26Yeah?

0:02:27 > 0:02:29Wow. They look really good.

0:02:29 > 0:02:32- Have one. - Maybe after surgery.

0:02:32 > 0:02:33It wouldn't look very professional,

0:02:33 > 0:02:35talking to patients with a mouth full of cake.

0:02:35 > 0:02:36Of course.

0:02:43 > 0:02:45I was thinking about what you said on Friday.

0:02:45 > 0:02:48Yeah, erm, about that, I'm sorry if I was a bit harsh.

0:02:48 > 0:02:50It's me who should be apologising.

0:02:50 > 0:02:54I'm so glad you were honest with me. It's exactly what I needed.

0:02:54 > 0:02:57I'd be mad not to listen to someone with your wisdom and experience.

0:02:57 > 0:02:59So thank you.

0:02:59 > 0:03:00You're welcome.

0:03:00 > 0:03:03Although, I'm not sure I do have that much experience.

0:03:03 > 0:03:04You've got more than me.

0:03:04 > 0:03:06True.

0:03:06 > 0:03:09So are we friends again now?

0:03:09 > 0:03:11I think we always were, weren't we?

0:03:13 > 0:03:15I tell you what. If my next patient doesn't object,

0:03:15 > 0:03:18why don't you sit in on the next consultation?

0:03:18 > 0:03:19Really?

0:03:19 > 0:03:20Yes. Really.

0:03:54 > 0:03:57Did you manage to find somewhere to park?

0:03:57 > 0:03:58I got a taxi.

0:03:59 > 0:04:00Very wise.

0:04:03 > 0:04:06Mm... Nice champagne.

0:04:06 > 0:04:09I'm all for the good things in life.

0:04:12 > 0:04:17Menu looks good too. They've, erm, got a specials board.

0:04:19 > 0:04:21I like the look of the duck.

0:04:21 > 0:04:24I like your dress. Very sexy.

0:04:25 > 0:04:27You don't mind me saying that, do you?

0:04:28 > 0:04:29No.

0:04:32 > 0:04:36Look, erm, about the kiss...

0:04:36 > 0:04:38What about it?

0:04:38 > 0:04:42It wasn't planned. It just happened.

0:04:42 > 0:04:45Yeah. It did, didn't it?

0:04:48 > 0:04:50I have a confession to make.

0:04:52 > 0:04:54I'd been wanting to do that for ages.

0:04:56 > 0:04:57Have you?

0:04:57 > 0:05:00Yeah. But you beat me to it.

0:05:11 > 0:05:13Excuse me, madam, could I have a word?

0:05:13 > 0:05:15I... I don't have time.

0:05:15 > 0:05:16I'm afraid you'll have to make the time.

0:05:16 > 0:05:18My husband will be wanting his lunch.

0:05:18 > 0:05:21Then he'll be going hungry. My name is Gary Bardsley.

0:05:21 > 0:05:24I have just seen you remove an item from this premises without

0:05:24 > 0:05:28permission. I am therefore detaining you on suspicion of theft.

0:05:28 > 0:05:29Are you the police?

0:05:29 > 0:05:30- No, but... - Let me go, please.

0:05:30 > 0:05:33You do not have to say anything, but it may harm your defence...

0:05:33 > 0:05:34I haven't done anything.

0:05:34 > 0:05:37I'm sorry, madam, but it's my belief that you have.

0:05:37 > 0:05:39My father built this business up from nothing.

0:05:39 > 0:05:41You're stealing my birthright.

0:05:41 > 0:05:43I'm really sorry, I...

0:05:43 > 0:05:45Save it for the police.

0:05:45 > 0:05:47We'll wait for them in my office.

0:05:49 > 0:05:52I don't know what came over me.

0:05:52 > 0:05:53Do you regret it?

0:05:53 > 0:05:54No...

0:05:54 > 0:05:55No, not at all.

0:05:57 > 0:06:01The last two years have been... so tough.

0:06:03 > 0:06:08And then you come into my life, and I feel like I have a real friend.

0:06:08 > 0:06:09You have.

0:06:10 > 0:06:13At first, I thought that's all I thought it was.

0:06:15 > 0:06:19But...if I'm honest,

0:06:19 > 0:06:23I can't stop thinking about that kiss.

0:06:23 > 0:06:29Neither can I. And I want to do it again.

0:06:29 > 0:06:31Part of me does too.

0:06:34 > 0:06:39But, Lena, your friendship is the most important thing to me,

0:06:39 > 0:06:42and I don't want to do anything to jeopardise that.

0:06:48 > 0:06:50You did absolutely the right thing by bringing her in.

0:06:50 > 0:06:53Let me know if the rash comes back, but I think she should be fine.

0:06:53 > 0:06:55Thanks very much.

0:06:55 > 0:06:57Bye.

0:07:01 > 0:07:02Well done.

0:07:02 > 0:07:03What for?

0:07:03 > 0:07:06The way you handled Laura-Jane and her mum. Very relaxed.

0:07:06 > 0:07:09I've got a niece that age. She's a cutie.

0:07:09 > 0:07:12Meningitis. Every parent's nightmare.

0:07:12 > 0:07:14How did you know she didn't have it?

0:07:14 > 0:07:17Wrong kind of rash, and she didn't have any other symptoms.

0:07:17 > 0:07:20But it's important we take each case very seriously.

0:07:20 > 0:07:21I had it myself when I was younger.

0:07:21 > 0:07:22No!

0:07:22 > 0:07:24Yeah, when I was 12.

0:07:24 > 0:07:28It was actually touch and go for a minute, but my GP was brilliant.

0:07:28 > 0:07:30It was actually one of the reasons I became a doctor

0:07:30 > 0:07:33so I guess some good came of it.

0:07:36 > 0:07:38Are you OK?

0:07:38 > 0:07:39Yeah.

0:07:39 > 0:07:42It's just the thought of you being ill and nearly dying.

0:07:42 > 0:07:45That's horrible.

0:07:45 > 0:07:47Yeah, I suppose it would have been, had it happened.

0:07:47 > 0:07:49But it didn't. So it's OK.

0:07:55 > 0:07:57I haven't taken anything.

0:07:57 > 0:08:00Unfortunately Mr Bardsley says you did.

0:08:00 > 0:08:01It's all on CCTV.

0:08:01 > 0:08:04It's all a terrible misunderstanding.

0:08:04 > 0:08:07Well, in that case, you won't mind if I take a look in your trolley,

0:08:07 > 0:08:08will you?

0:08:10 > 0:08:11Thank you.

0:08:17 > 0:08:18I knew it!

0:08:18 > 0:08:21I didn't do it. I swear I didn't do it.

0:08:21 > 0:08:23That's what they all say.

0:08:23 > 0:08:24If you didn't do it,

0:08:24 > 0:08:27would you mind explaining how it got into your trolley?

0:08:31 > 0:08:33Look, this is huge for me too.

0:08:33 > 0:08:37I thought I knew where I was in the world, then you come along,

0:08:37 > 0:08:39and..."pow".

0:08:42 > 0:08:44Have you ever kissed a woman before?

0:08:45 > 0:08:48Remember that girl from uni I told you about?

0:08:48 > 0:08:51We had a bit of a thing.

0:08:51 > 0:08:52It took us both by surprise.

0:08:54 > 0:08:57Anyway we were young, it didn't end well.

0:08:57 > 0:08:59You?

0:08:59 > 0:09:03No, it never even crossed my mind.

0:09:03 > 0:09:04But Rachel was a long time ago.

0:09:06 > 0:09:09I am married, for heaven's sake.

0:09:09 > 0:09:11I know. And that's another thing.

0:09:12 > 0:09:14I really don't do home-wrecking.

0:09:14 > 0:09:19That's not what I want either. Steven is a kind, decent man.

0:09:20 > 0:09:23But his fire went out a long time ago.

0:09:23 > 0:09:25Not yours?

0:09:25 > 0:09:27For a while, yes.

0:09:27 > 0:09:31Without realising it, I've just been drifting into middle age.

0:09:31 > 0:09:33Settling for a comfortable existence,

0:09:33 > 0:09:35watching my life go by.

0:09:36 > 0:09:39But getting cancer changed everything.

0:09:40 > 0:09:42Made me realise how precious life is.

0:09:44 > 0:09:45I could have died.

0:09:45 > 0:09:48- Don't say that.- But it's true.

0:09:49 > 0:09:52And it could come back - next week,

0:09:52 > 0:09:57next year. I don't know how long I've got.

0:09:57 > 0:09:58None of us do.

0:10:01 > 0:10:02Thanks.

0:10:05 > 0:10:07- Thank you.- You're welcome. Enjoy.

0:10:11 > 0:10:12This is crazy.

0:10:12 > 0:10:13I know!

0:10:14 > 0:10:17Would you, erm, excuse me for a second?

0:10:27 > 0:10:29She must have been at it long before I spotted her.

0:10:29 > 0:10:31And they all belonged to the shop, did they?

0:10:31 > 0:10:33My father's choice.

0:10:33 > 0:10:37A little vulgar for my taste but I'm planning on phasing them out.

0:10:37 > 0:10:39I didn't know we still did this one.

0:10:39 > 0:10:41I thought we discontinued it a while back.

0:10:41 > 0:10:43What have you got to say for yourself, Alice?

0:10:43 > 0:10:45I don't know what he's talking about.

0:10:45 > 0:10:47- I caught you red-handed!- OK.

0:10:47 > 0:10:49You've got to admit, it's not looking good.

0:10:51 > 0:10:53Alice, did you take them?

0:10:57 > 0:10:58Not this time.

0:11:00 > 0:11:02What do you mean, not this time?

0:11:02 > 0:11:05I wasn't stealing them. I was putting them back.

0:11:12 > 0:11:14Al, are you around later?

0:11:14 > 0:11:15Bethany's been doing some research,

0:11:15 > 0:11:17and I think she might have found something

0:11:17 > 0:11:18that's right up your street.

0:11:18 > 0:11:21Cool. Let's do lunch. How's she getting on?

0:11:21 > 0:11:23Erm, bit of a sticky start.

0:11:23 > 0:11:26But we had a chat and she seems to be responding really well.

0:11:26 > 0:11:28So, yeah... She's very keen.

0:11:28 > 0:11:30- That's cos she's very young. - It's not just that.

0:11:30 > 0:11:33She's a good listener and I'm enjoying working with her, actually.

0:11:33 > 0:11:34She could go a long way, I reckon.

0:11:42 > 0:11:44You must think I was born yesterday.

0:11:44 > 0:11:46How many times do I have to tell you?

0:11:46 > 0:11:48We have a policy of always prosecuting shoplifters.

0:11:48 > 0:11:51That's not strictly true. I was here a couple of years ago

0:11:51 > 0:11:52with a young lad doing the same thing

0:11:52 > 0:11:54and your father was inclined to let it go.

0:11:54 > 0:11:56He's not running things any more. I am.

0:11:56 > 0:11:58I'll see you in court.

0:11:58 > 0:12:00I did take them. I admit it.

0:12:00 > 0:12:02- There you go! - But not for months.

0:12:03 > 0:12:07I felt so guilty, sitting at home looking at them,

0:12:07 > 0:12:10knowing they were stolen.

0:12:10 > 0:12:14So I thought I'd return them, bit by bit.

0:12:15 > 0:12:17That was the last lot.

0:12:17 > 0:12:19She could be telling the truth.

0:12:19 > 0:12:23- I am!- You said yourself you hadn't sold that line for a while.

0:12:24 > 0:12:26When did you take that one, Alice?

0:12:26 > 0:12:28Erm, I'm not sure.

0:12:28 > 0:12:30Does it really matter when? It's theft and she's admitted it.

0:12:30 > 0:12:33Yes. Is there anyone you'd like me to call?

0:12:33 > 0:12:36There's a husband. She said she had to get back to him.

0:12:36 > 0:12:38Is that right?

0:12:38 > 0:12:40- No. - You can't believe a word she says!

0:12:40 > 0:12:43He's away. Visiting friends.

0:12:43 > 0:12:46Is he? Anyone else? A son or daughter?

0:12:46 > 0:12:48We were never blessed with children.

0:12:48 > 0:12:49And this is the last lot?

0:12:49 > 0:12:51Yes.

0:12:51 > 0:12:55There are no more stolen goods in your house?

0:12:57 > 0:12:58No.

0:12:58 > 0:13:00Good. Then you won't mind me taking a look around.

0:13:10 > 0:13:14Finally. I'd thought you'd done a runner.

0:13:14 > 0:13:16I nearly did.

0:13:16 > 0:13:19Sort of thing I used to do if a blind date wasn't working out.

0:13:19 > 0:13:22I'd always chose somewhere with a back door.

0:13:22 > 0:13:25This isn't a blind date though, is it?

0:13:25 > 0:13:30Look, I've clearly misread things. I don't want to ruin our friendship.

0:13:30 > 0:13:33Perhaps we should just pretend that Friday never happened.

0:13:33 > 0:13:35But it did happen, didn't it?

0:13:35 > 0:13:39Yeah. I'm sorry.

0:13:39 > 0:13:44I'm not. I just needed a few minutes to...think.

0:13:46 > 0:13:48I'm not going to pretend I'm not scared, because I am.

0:13:48 > 0:13:51So am I.

0:13:51 > 0:13:52Is everything OK?

0:13:52 > 0:13:54Yes.

0:13:55 > 0:13:57Look, I'm not very hungry.

0:13:57 > 0:14:00- Would you mind if we just got the bill?- Of course.

0:14:05 > 0:14:06Shall we go back to mine?

0:14:09 > 0:14:13What we need is someone with a wide range of knowledge.

0:14:13 > 0:14:15I'm not sure that Ayesha fits that criteria.

0:14:15 > 0:14:17It was her idea, remember.

0:14:17 > 0:14:20She's a lovely girl, but she's not exactly Brain of Britain.

0:14:20 > 0:14:22She's had a tough time of it recently.

0:14:22 > 0:14:24This might help her take her mind off Tyler.

0:14:24 > 0:14:27Fair enough. Probably a wise idea to have a backup,

0:14:27 > 0:14:29in case Heston can't make it.

0:14:29 > 0:14:30Well, maybe I should ask Bethany.

0:14:31 > 0:14:33Yeah, thing is...

0:14:33 > 0:14:36She's bright, she's a switched-on girl, she'd be good.

0:14:36 > 0:14:37Yeah, and she really fancies you.

0:14:37 > 0:14:39- No, she doesn't! - No, mate, she does.

0:14:39 > 0:14:41Is this one of your wind-ups?

0:14:41 > 0:14:43I was watching her earlier,

0:14:43 > 0:14:45picking at your jacket like some kind of demented chimpanzee.

0:14:45 > 0:14:47She wants to jump your bones something rotten.

0:14:47 > 0:14:49No way.

0:14:49 > 0:14:51Five quid says she wants to.

0:14:52 > 0:14:54All right.

0:14:58 > 0:15:02You know when I said I didn't have any more stolen goods in the house?

0:15:02 > 0:15:03Yes.

0:15:03 > 0:15:06Are you telling me this is all stolen?

0:15:06 > 0:15:07Yes.

0:15:07 > 0:15:08Oh!

0:15:08 > 0:15:10I bet you've had some of this stuff for years.

0:15:10 > 0:15:12Is it all from Bardsley's?

0:15:12 > 0:15:13Not all of it.

0:15:13 > 0:15:14Where else, then?

0:15:14 > 0:15:17Various places. All over Letherbridge.

0:15:19 > 0:15:21I'm sorry.

0:15:22 > 0:15:24I'm heading to the sandwich shop. Can I get you anything?

0:15:24 > 0:15:26Yeah, that'd be nice.

0:15:26 > 0:15:29What would you like? They've got baguettes, sandwiches, quiches.

0:15:29 > 0:15:30Pasta salads...

0:15:30 > 0:15:32I don't know. Surprise me.

0:15:32 > 0:15:33All right.

0:15:33 > 0:15:35What about me? HE CLEARS HIS THROAT

0:15:35 > 0:15:37Sorry. Can I get you anything?

0:15:37 > 0:15:40Yes, please. I would like a surprise too.

0:15:40 > 0:15:42Except, not goat's cheese.

0:15:42 > 0:15:44No-one wants that kind of surprise.

0:15:44 > 0:15:46Let me give you some money.

0:15:46 > 0:15:47It's all right. We can settle it later.

0:15:47 > 0:15:51I'm sure you're not going to take advantage of me.

0:15:51 > 0:15:54So...are you enjoying your time with us?

0:15:54 > 0:15:55Yeah...thanks to Sid.

0:15:56 > 0:15:58Is that so?

0:15:58 > 0:16:00- He gave me a real telling off last Friday.- Really?

0:16:00 > 0:16:03If you want to make an official complaint about him...

0:16:03 > 0:16:05No! I had it coming.

0:16:05 > 0:16:08There's not many men who'd stand up to me like he did.

0:16:08 > 0:16:10I've obviously got a lot to learn.

0:16:10 > 0:16:13And I can't think of a better man to teach me.

0:16:22 > 0:16:26Thank you. You've been very kind.

0:16:26 > 0:16:27Kinder than I deserve.

0:16:30 > 0:16:32Are you sure there's no-one I can call?

0:16:32 > 0:16:34There's no-one.

0:16:34 > 0:16:37When is your husband coming back?

0:16:37 > 0:16:38Gordon?

0:16:40 > 0:16:42You said he was out, visiting friends.

0:16:43 > 0:16:45Did I?

0:16:45 > 0:16:46Yes, you did.

0:16:48 > 0:16:49He won't be coming back.

0:16:51 > 0:16:52He died.

0:16:55 > 0:16:56When?

0:16:56 > 0:17:01Three weeks ago. We'd been married for 50 years.

0:17:03 > 0:17:05I'm really sorry to hear that, Alice.

0:17:07 > 0:17:10Please forgive me but...

0:17:10 > 0:17:13did Gordon have anything to do with these thefts?

0:17:13 > 0:17:14No.

0:17:14 > 0:17:15Are you sure?

0:17:15 > 0:17:19Gordon begged me to stop. But I couldn't.

0:17:19 > 0:17:21Then, when he died, I thought,

0:17:21 > 0:17:25if I put everything back, the guilt would go.

0:17:26 > 0:17:30Then finally, I'd be able to sleep at night.

0:17:33 > 0:17:36What happens next? Are you going to arrest me?

0:17:36 > 0:17:38That all depends on Mr Bardsley.

0:17:38 > 0:17:41By the sound of it, he might prosecute.

0:17:41 > 0:17:43Will I go to prison?

0:17:43 > 0:17:44No, no, that is unlikely.

0:17:44 > 0:17:48But this is pre-meditated theft, going back over years,

0:17:48 > 0:17:50so you could be in some trouble.

0:17:50 > 0:17:52I just want everything put right.

0:17:52 > 0:17:55That will go in your favour.

0:17:55 > 0:17:56Good.

0:17:59 > 0:18:04Good...because there's something I'd like your help with.

0:18:06 > 0:18:08That's right. The Mill Health Centre.

0:18:08 > 0:18:10I'll be in touch to confirm the players' names.

0:18:10 > 0:18:11Thank you.

0:18:11 > 0:18:14- Booking the quiz. - Oh, good. I like quizzes.

0:18:14 > 0:18:15I'll be there, cheering you on.

0:18:15 > 0:18:17Of course you will.

0:18:17 > 0:18:18Lunch.

0:18:18 > 0:18:20Amazing. I skipped breakfast

0:18:20 > 0:18:23so this is very much what this doctor ordered.

0:18:23 > 0:18:25Let's see,

0:18:25 > 0:18:28a cheesy jalapeno bacon-stuffed baguette with home-made mayonnaise.

0:18:28 > 0:18:29Today's special.

0:18:29 > 0:18:30And my treat.

0:18:30 > 0:18:33Wow. Thank you.

0:18:33 > 0:18:37- Wow.- Cheese and pickle. £3, please.

0:18:37 > 0:18:39OK.

0:18:39 > 0:18:41It's not goat's cheese.

0:18:42 > 0:18:46- Three, yeah?- Yeah. Thank you.

0:18:46 > 0:18:48I've been thinking more about Laura-Jane.

0:18:48 > 0:18:49The little girl with the rash.

0:18:49 > 0:18:51There's a few questions I wanted to ask you,

0:18:51 > 0:18:53if you've got any free time today.

0:18:53 > 0:18:55Erm, actually, I'm a bit stacked this afternoon.

0:18:55 > 0:19:01I've got afternoon surgery, form-filling, couple of house calls.

0:19:01 > 0:19:04- Oh, can I come with you? - Don't think it's appropriate...

0:19:04 > 0:19:07- Tonight then.- Tonight?

0:19:07 > 0:19:10Yeah. After work. Over a drink, maybe?

0:19:10 > 0:19:13Erm, I'll have to check my diary first, you know.

0:19:21 > 0:19:25Mmm. Argentinean. Nice.

0:19:25 > 0:19:27- Yes. - Have you been?

0:19:27 > 0:19:29No.

0:19:29 > 0:19:31This is ridiculous!

0:19:31 > 0:19:35This is like one of those blind dates you were talking about.

0:19:35 > 0:19:37Planning on running away?

0:19:39 > 0:19:40No.

0:19:41 > 0:19:43Right.

0:19:44 > 0:19:48Why don't we take these...upstairs?

0:20:06 > 0:20:08How was your baguette?

0:20:08 > 0:20:11Mm. Delicious, thank you.

0:20:13 > 0:20:15Al, how was your sandwich?

0:20:15 > 0:20:16It filled a gap.

0:20:16 > 0:20:17Also left a gap.

0:20:19 > 0:20:23Bethany, why don't you crack out those cakes you brought in earlier?

0:20:24 > 0:20:26Right.

0:20:26 > 0:20:29- What?- Pay up.- Yeah, you're right.

0:20:29 > 0:20:32Too easy, man!

0:20:32 > 0:20:34- What am I going to do, Al? - You've got to nip it in the bud.

0:20:34 > 0:20:37Tell her you're not interested because she is 18!

0:20:37 > 0:20:39I know but I don't want to upset her, do I?

0:20:39 > 0:20:41- Then tell her you're gay. - But I'm not!

0:20:41 > 0:20:43Trust me, she'll believe you.

0:20:45 > 0:20:48Saved by the cakes! They smell good.

0:20:48 > 0:20:50So colourful. Wow!

0:20:52 > 0:20:54- Thank you.- Did you check your diary yet?

0:20:54 > 0:20:56I haven't had a chance...

0:20:56 > 0:20:58Because I was thinking, rather than just a drink,

0:20:58 > 0:21:00maybe we could go for dinner?

0:21:00 > 0:21:01I know a really nice Italian.

0:21:01 > 0:21:04I'd pay my own way, of course. I wouldn't expect you to treat me.

0:21:04 > 0:21:06Unless you wanted to!

0:21:06 > 0:21:08Erm... Actually, I've just remembered.

0:21:08 > 0:21:10I said I'd help my mate with something tonight.

0:21:10 > 0:21:12Oh. OK.

0:21:12 > 0:21:14Al, you know that case we were discussing?

0:21:14 > 0:21:16What case?

0:21:16 > 0:21:18The patient. You know, the one with the...thing.

0:21:18 > 0:21:20I'm eating cake, mate. Delicious, by the way.

0:21:20 > 0:21:22- Thank you. - Al, it's urgent.

0:21:23 > 0:21:25Can I come too?

0:21:25 > 0:21:26Sorry. It's confidential, so...

0:22:02 > 0:22:04Is that my Eileen?

0:22:10 > 0:22:11Do you recognise this, sir?

0:22:11 > 0:22:15Yes. It's mine. It disappeared from my garden, must be ten years ago.

0:22:15 > 0:22:16I thought it had been stolen.

0:22:16 > 0:22:19It was me. I took it.

0:22:19 > 0:22:21Is this some sort of joke?

0:22:21 > 0:22:25I want you to have it back. I'm very sorry.

0:22:25 > 0:22:28You knew how upset I was when she went missing.

0:22:28 > 0:22:30- We talked about it. - Yes.

0:22:30 > 0:22:35You had her all that time and you never said a thing?

0:22:35 > 0:22:38I'm sorry. I didn't mean to frighten you, Alice.

0:22:38 > 0:22:40It's just, I can't believe you'd do such a thing.

0:22:40 > 0:22:43- That's if she did. - Of course it was me.

0:22:43 > 0:22:45Well, Eileen is pretty heavy.

0:22:45 > 0:22:47I was stronger then.

0:22:47 > 0:22:48You must have been.

0:22:48 > 0:22:50What can you tell me about Mr Lawson?

0:22:50 > 0:22:53I've been trying to look after Alice, since he died.

0:22:53 > 0:22:55She relied on him a lot.

0:22:55 > 0:22:56Did you know him well?

0:22:56 > 0:23:00Not a lot. He kept himself to himself.

0:23:00 > 0:23:02He was a quite difficult man.

0:23:02 > 0:23:03In what way?

0:23:03 > 0:23:05I'm sure he had his good points.

0:23:05 > 0:23:06But?

0:23:06 > 0:23:09He could be abrasive and confrontational.

0:23:09 > 0:23:12I stayed out of his way, to be honest.

0:23:12 > 0:23:14You see, I'm struggling to make sense out of all of this.

0:23:14 > 0:23:17I don't think you could have carried this statue.

0:23:17 > 0:23:21And as for the other stuff, I don't think you took those either.

0:23:21 > 0:23:23There's other stuff? Alice?

0:23:23 > 0:23:25I did take them.

0:23:25 > 0:23:28Are you absolutely certain that you are not covering for Gordon?

0:23:28 > 0:23:30I'd be far more inclined to believe it of him.

0:23:30 > 0:23:32A nasty piece of work, if truth be told.

0:23:32 > 0:23:35Alice, did Gordon take this statue?

0:23:37 > 0:23:38Yeah.

0:23:38 > 0:23:42What about the other stuff, did he take that as well? Did he?

0:23:42 > 0:23:43Oh, wait a minute...

0:23:45 > 0:23:46She missed a bit.

0:23:46 > 0:23:48- That's not funny, Al. - It's hilarious.

0:23:48 > 0:23:51Mate, you have to stop running away from her.

0:23:51 > 0:23:53What am I going to do then?

0:23:53 > 0:23:55You are going to be a professional.

0:23:55 > 0:23:57Tell her, in a very plain and simple way,

0:23:57 > 0:24:00that you like and respect her, but it would be deeply inappropriate

0:24:00 > 0:24:04for there to be any form of intimate relationship between you.

0:24:04 > 0:24:06That's good. Professional.

0:24:08 > 0:24:10- I like that.- But?

0:24:10 > 0:24:11If I say that,

0:24:11 > 0:24:13it implies there was something between us in the first place.

0:24:13 > 0:24:16As far as she's concerned, there is.

0:24:16 > 0:24:18I should have just nipped it in the bud.

0:24:18 > 0:24:20Never allowed it to develop.

0:24:20 > 0:24:22Dude, it's been like half a day!

0:24:22 > 0:24:25What if you're wrong? What if you just misread the signs?

0:24:25 > 0:24:27What's to misread?

0:24:27 > 0:24:30Maybe it would be better if she just left.

0:24:30 > 0:24:32Maybe I should have a word with Mrs Tembe.

0:24:32 > 0:24:34That'll be one way out of it.

0:24:34 > 0:24:38But what kind of message would that send out? She's young.

0:24:38 > 0:24:43Inexperienced. She might be crushed and never follow her destiny.

0:24:43 > 0:24:46And what would Dr Jayratnum say about that?

0:24:46 > 0:24:47Dr who now?

0:24:47 > 0:24:49My family doctor when I was a kid.

0:24:49 > 0:24:53She saved my life. Inspired me to follow my calling.

0:24:53 > 0:24:56Maybe I could be the same for Bethany.

0:24:56 > 0:24:58There you go. There's your solution.

0:24:58 > 0:25:01Ask yourself, what would Dr J do?

0:25:02 > 0:25:04I don't know.

0:25:05 > 0:25:08So Gordon was responsible for all of this?

0:25:08 > 0:25:10I tried to get him to stop, but he wouldn't listen.

0:25:10 > 0:25:13I even threatened to go to the police.

0:25:13 > 0:25:15Why didn't you?

0:25:15 > 0:25:18He was my husband. And he wasn't a bad man.

0:25:19 > 0:25:21Well, not at first, anyway.

0:25:21 > 0:25:23He had his moments.

0:25:23 > 0:25:26Threatened to beat me up once for mowing my lawn too early.

0:25:26 > 0:25:29He was worse when he'd had a drink.

0:25:29 > 0:25:33I used to hear him shouting at you. Terrible things.

0:25:35 > 0:25:36I should have done something.

0:25:36 > 0:25:38No. It would have made him worse.

0:25:38 > 0:25:41Did he ever try and sell on any of the things he stole?

0:25:41 > 0:25:43Never. He was like a magpie.

0:25:43 > 0:25:47He saw something he liked, took it, then never looked at it again.

0:25:49 > 0:25:54I was terrified he'd get caught. Then, when he died,

0:25:54 > 0:25:56I thought I could return it all.

0:25:57 > 0:25:59I just wanted it gone.

0:26:01 > 0:26:02Am I still in trouble?

0:26:03 > 0:26:06I don't think so. But I will ask you a few more questions.

0:26:06 > 0:26:08Just to establish exactly what happened.

0:26:08 > 0:26:10What about Mr Bardsley?

0:26:10 > 0:26:11You leave him to me.

0:26:11 > 0:26:15I certainly won't be taking this any further.

0:26:15 > 0:26:17It's not as if you were responsible.

0:26:17 > 0:26:19I'd rather none of this came out.

0:26:20 > 0:26:23Gordon would have been so angry.

0:26:23 > 0:26:26With all respect, Gordon isn't here.

0:26:26 > 0:26:28There is no need to be scared of him any more.

0:26:28 > 0:26:32Yes. Yes, you're right.

0:26:34 > 0:26:36SHE SIGHS

0:26:45 > 0:26:47Still having doubts?

0:26:47 > 0:26:49What do you think?

0:26:50 > 0:26:51This isn't wrong, is it?

0:26:54 > 0:26:58Right now, it feels like the most natural thing in the world.

0:27:17 > 0:27:19If we have more cover...

0:27:19 > 0:27:21Yeah, I'd have to break my back cooking for even more

0:27:21 > 0:27:24Philistines who wouldn't appreciate good food if it fell in their lap.

0:27:24 > 0:27:25Hey.

0:27:25 > 0:27:28Valentine's just sometimes makes me feel physically sick!

0:27:28 > 0:27:29No wonder I'm depressed.

0:27:32 > 0:27:34What's it say?

0:27:34 > 0:27:35"Still waiting?"
