0:00:28 > 0:00:31Now I want you to stand on your toes and reach for the sky.

0:00:31 > 0:00:36On my toes? I'm not sure it's physically possible.

0:00:36 > 0:00:39Imagine you are an African stork

0:00:39 > 0:00:42flying high above the savanna.

0:00:42 > 0:00:43Eh?

0:00:43 > 0:00:46That takes a great deal of imagination.

0:00:46 > 0:00:48Very good, Ms Merriam!

0:00:48 > 0:00:51And reach, and reach.

0:00:51 > 0:00:53SHE GASPS FOR BREATH

0:00:55 > 0:00:57Ms Merriam! Are you all right?!

0:00:57 > 0:01:00Shall I get a doctor?

0:01:00 > 0:01:05No, no. Just a new pair of lungs, if you can spare them.

0:01:05 > 0:01:07Thank goodness!

0:01:08 > 0:01:10I-I thought it was your heart.

0:01:10 > 0:01:13No. That's still chugging along.

0:01:16 > 0:01:20Kabali, why...why don't we work out a signal?

0:01:22 > 0:01:25If I'm a little short of breath or a bit puffy,

0:01:25 > 0:01:30I'll, er...I'll wave, like this.

0:01:32 > 0:01:36- So that you know it's nothing serious, just breathlessness.- Mm.

0:01:38 > 0:01:41I must try not to push you so hard.

0:01:41 > 0:01:44It will be a while before you are in shape.

0:01:44 > 0:01:46I think I must accept the shape I'm in.

0:01:48 > 0:01:51A bit...lumpy and lopsided.

0:01:53 > 0:01:55You must never accept things.

0:01:55 > 0:02:01We can all become faster and stronger and fitter.

0:02:01 > 0:02:03I think I'm a bit old to become an Olympian.

0:02:07 > 0:02:09What's the matter?

0:02:09 > 0:02:10Kabali...

0:02:11 > 0:02:14..you need to know that I won't be here forever.

0:02:14 > 0:02:16What do you mean?

0:02:16 > 0:02:18Well, there comes a time when you realise

0:02:18 > 0:02:21that there isn't much time left.

0:02:22 > 0:02:25When you have to sit down to put on a pair of shoes,

0:02:25 > 0:02:29or you feel it would be nice to visit an old friend.

0:02:31 > 0:02:34And then you remember they all live in the cemetery now.

0:02:34 > 0:02:38But you'll be here for years and years to come.

0:02:38 > 0:02:41Only if I die and no-one finds the body.

0:02:43 > 0:02:46You know, there's a red tin,

0:02:46 > 0:02:50a red barrel of biscuits in the kitchen?

0:02:50 > 0:02:55- Yes.- Well, there aren't any biscuits in that barrel.

0:02:55 > 0:02:58Just £10,000 in £50 notes.

0:02:58 > 0:03:01- I don't want your money.- Yes.

0:03:01 > 0:03:03But one day, you may need it.

0:03:05 > 0:03:09Now, how about a cup of tea and a custard cream?

0:03:09 > 0:03:11Mm.

0:03:20 > 0:03:22- Ginger nut?- What?

0:03:22 > 0:03:23Or a chocolate digestive?

0:03:23 > 0:03:25I know that when I am feeling down,

0:03:25 > 0:03:28I like to grab a Hobnob and dunk my troubles away.

0:03:28 > 0:03:31- There aren't enough biscuits in the world.- Mm.

0:03:31 > 0:03:34- What's up?- Oh, everything.

0:03:34 > 0:03:37The thought of being sat here in ten years' time.

0:03:37 > 0:03:42Same life, same job, just no longer able to chew solid food.

0:03:42 > 0:03:44Is this because Rob took the mickey out of you?

0:03:44 > 0:03:48It didn't help. He's banging on about hip operations.

0:03:48 > 0:03:52People are all too ready to take the mickey out of women over the age of 40.

0:03:52 > 0:03:54- Mm.- And the rest.- Oi!

0:03:54 > 0:03:58Oh, look, there's a man with a strange-shaped package.

0:03:58 > 0:04:01- Hi, Dave! - Special delivery from your husband.

0:04:01 > 0:04:03- Bye, Dave.- Hm!

0:04:03 > 0:04:06Don't tell me, it's a fondue set(!) Hm-hm!

0:04:08 > 0:04:10"Sorry, love."

0:04:10 > 0:04:12Aw!

0:04:12 > 0:04:15He's going to have to do a lot more than that.

0:04:15 > 0:04:17Do you know, I should have a go on this later.

0:04:17 > 0:04:20It's been a long time since I moved my hips in rhythmical fashion.

0:04:20 > 0:04:23- Ah, let me show you.- Oh, no, I think I've still got the knack.

0:04:23 > 0:04:25I am surrounded by idiots.

0:04:25 > 0:04:27I thought you were spending the day with Joe?

0:04:27 > 0:04:30No, it's Daniel's turn, if he can drag him away from his computer.

0:04:30 > 0:04:32Look, just take all of this out of reception.

0:04:33 > 0:04:35OK.

0:04:43 > 0:04:45Zara, he's going to love it!

0:04:45 > 0:04:48Of course he is. It's going to be fantastic.

0:04:48 > 0:04:51Wild adventures in the outdoors, fresh air.

0:04:52 > 0:04:54Yeah.

0:04:54 > 0:04:56Just think of me as your heterosexual Tarzan.

0:04:57 > 0:04:59Yeah. All right, sweetheart, I'll see you later.

0:04:59 > 0:05:01Joe! Be careful!

0:05:05 > 0:05:08If you just want to go straight through to the nurse's room?

0:05:08 > 0:05:10Oh! Look at this! Ah-ha-ha-ha!

0:05:10 > 0:05:13Rob's bought you a deluxe model. Flashing lights, everything.

0:05:13 > 0:05:16Well, I hope the two of you will be very happy together.

0:05:16 > 0:05:18Oh, come on, Karen, he is trying.

0:05:18 > 0:05:20Look, a friend of mine had one of these

0:05:20 > 0:05:22and it did wonders for her self-worth.

0:05:22 > 0:05:24- Give it here.- Huh!

0:05:26 > 0:05:27She had a complete makeover.

0:05:27 > 0:05:30Bought a sports car, found herself a toy boy.

0:05:30 > 0:05:32Yeah, well, I'm having a cup of tea.

0:05:32 > 0:05:35Oh. Ah! I would love to find myself a toy boy.

0:05:36 > 0:05:37I beg your pardon?

0:05:37 > 0:05:40Hello, Mrs Merriam! So lovely to see you.

0:05:40 > 0:05:43I have a 1:45 with Dr Carmichael.

0:05:45 > 0:05:47Yes, that's right.

0:05:47 > 0:05:49Sorry about the toy boy thing, I didn't mean you.

0:05:49 > 0:05:52I will go and wait in the car.

0:05:52 > 0:05:54Well, you're quite welcome to wait here.

0:05:54 > 0:05:59Do you know, for a while, they had a machine doing her job.

0:05:59 > 0:06:00It was much better.

0:06:02 > 0:06:05I am really sorry. Honestly, I didn't mean you.

0:06:05 > 0:06:09I was just talking to my colleague about a friend of mine and she...

0:06:09 > 0:06:10Are you finished?

0:06:10 > 0:06:12Mrs Merriam?

0:06:12 > 0:06:14I-I-I will see you soon.

0:06:14 > 0:06:16Yes, yes. Thank you.

0:06:16 > 0:06:18- Do come through.- Yes.

0:06:21 > 0:06:22- Raar!- So, there are lions in there, are there?

0:06:22 > 0:06:25Well, there's a big one here waiting for you. Raar!

0:06:25 > 0:06:27Raaaaaaaaar!

0:06:27 > 0:06:30Oh! We're just, er...pretending to be lions.

0:06:30 > 0:06:32So I see. Proper little Johnny Morris.

0:06:32 > 0:06:35Actually, we're looking to buy a tent.

0:06:35 > 0:06:37Well, you've come to the right place.

0:06:37 > 0:06:39We have everything from the ad hoc pop-up bivouac

0:06:39 > 0:06:41to the multi-berth Mongolian yurt.

0:06:41 > 0:06:45OK. We're looking for a three-person tent, or a three-man tent.

0:06:45 > 0:06:47- To pitch, or inflate?- Sorry?

0:06:47 > 0:06:51I mean, do you wish to construct your tent in the traditional manner,

0:06:51 > 0:06:53or would you like to go inflatable?

0:06:53 > 0:06:55I think I'd like to look at one of those.

0:06:55 > 0:06:56Will sir be needing anything else?

0:06:56 > 0:06:58Er...yeah, we need camp beds,

0:06:58 > 0:07:00we need sleeping bags and a barbecue set.

0:07:00 > 0:07:03- Oh. Do come this way. - OK. Joe, come on.- Hello.

0:07:08 > 0:07:10I'm just going to increase your pain medication.

0:07:10 > 0:07:13I suppose that's all you can do.

0:07:13 > 0:07:15Keep me comfortable.

0:07:16 > 0:07:19What are you talking about, Mrs Merriam?

0:07:19 > 0:07:21Well, I'm going to die now, aren't I?

0:07:23 > 0:07:25What makes you think you're going to die?

0:07:25 > 0:07:28Oh, it's just a feeling I have.

0:07:28 > 0:07:31Like an icy-cold hand on my shoulder.

0:07:31 > 0:07:34You have asthma and angina,

0:07:34 > 0:07:37and I know you've had some problems with your eyesight,

0:07:37 > 0:07:39but it's all well-controlled.

0:07:39 > 0:07:41I don't think there's any imminent danger.

0:07:41 > 0:07:44Well, you would say that, wouldn't you?

0:07:45 > 0:07:48You've never had that strange feeling at the end of life.

0:07:50 > 0:07:52- You've never died before. - Neither have you.

0:07:53 > 0:07:57It's not like you to be so morbid. Are you all right?

0:07:57 > 0:07:59Are you feeling particularly depressed at the moment?

0:07:59 > 0:08:01No more than usual.

0:08:01 > 0:08:05Do you have any actual evidence that something bad is going to happen?

0:08:08 > 0:08:14Um...I looked out my window this morning

0:08:14 > 0:08:18and there was a single magpie staring in at me.

0:08:18 > 0:08:22So, ignore the facts, ignore my medical experience,

0:08:22 > 0:08:26let's get a second opinion from a black-and-white bird(?)

0:08:26 > 0:08:29- Is that it?- It is.

0:08:29 > 0:08:31And I shall see you next month.

0:08:35 > 0:08:36VALERIE SIGHS

0:08:36 > 0:08:38It really is the best form of exercise, Val,

0:08:38 > 0:08:41standing with a plastic hoop around your ankles(!)

0:08:41 > 0:08:43I used to be so good at this!

0:08:43 > 0:08:45Must be something wrong with this hoop.

0:08:45 > 0:08:47Rob must have got a cheap knock-off.

0:08:47 > 0:08:49All about the hips. Here you are.

0:08:50 > 0:08:52- See?- You're really good at it.

0:08:52 > 0:08:54Look, this one must be the wrong size.

0:08:56 > 0:08:58Oh. Hello.

0:08:58 > 0:09:00S-S-Sorry. Am I allowed to be here?

0:09:00 > 0:09:03Well, it's not strictly a public thoroughfare.

0:09:03 > 0:09:05Of course you are. Where did you spring from, then?

0:09:05 > 0:09:07- I am from Namibia.- No, I didn't...

0:09:07 > 0:09:09Namibia?! What you doing here, then?

0:09:13 > 0:09:15Rude!

0:09:15 > 0:09:17He was with Mrs Merriam earlier.

0:09:17 > 0:09:19He does seem a bit highly-strung.

0:09:24 > 0:09:25Have you seen my friend?

0:09:25 > 0:09:27Which friend would that be?

0:09:27 > 0:09:32Kabali. He's about so high and deep brown eyes.

0:09:32 > 0:09:34Your friend? I just saw him.

0:09:34 > 0:09:35What?! Where is he?!

0:09:35 > 0:09:38He was outside and then my colleague said hello and he ran away.

0:09:38 > 0:09:40Oh, that's just typical!

0:09:40 > 0:09:42You're always putting your oar in.

0:09:42 > 0:09:45No, I didn't. It...it wasn't my fault.

0:09:45 > 0:09:46Yes, it is.

0:09:46 > 0:09:50You were so impertinent, going on about toy boys.

0:09:50 > 0:09:52Kabali's very sensitive.

0:09:52 > 0:09:54Is everything OK?

0:09:54 > 0:09:57No, it's not. I wish to make an official complaint.

0:10:01 > 0:10:05I do apologise. Sometimes the words just burst out of me.

0:10:05 > 0:10:07It's not good enough.

0:10:07 > 0:10:11Kabali is very sensitive and vulnerable.

0:10:11 > 0:10:13He's from Namibia, you know.

0:10:13 > 0:10:16They have a different sensibility there.

0:10:16 > 0:10:19How do you two know each other?

0:10:19 > 0:10:23He's been staying with me as a lodger.

0:10:23 > 0:10:25And he's a trainee nurse.

0:10:25 > 0:10:27And he's here legally, if that's what you're getting at.

0:10:27 > 0:10:29I'm not getting at anything.

0:10:29 > 0:10:32But you did say he was vulnerable. What did you mean by that?

0:10:33 > 0:10:35He's...a bit shy

0:10:35 > 0:10:38and he doesn't know Letherbridge at all.

0:10:38 > 0:10:41And he's run off and he knows no-one and...

0:10:41 > 0:10:45OK. Well, if he is vulnerable, perhaps we should call the police,

0:10:45 > 0:10:46ask them to keep an eye out.

0:10:46 > 0:10:49No! No, no. That would just make things worse.

0:10:49 > 0:10:52I'll just have to wait. I'm sure he'll come back.

0:11:00 > 0:11:02I am sorry.

0:11:03 > 0:11:05I am sorry, dear lady.

0:11:10 > 0:11:11What was all that about?

0:11:11 > 0:11:14It was just Mrs Merriam complaining about my mouth.

0:11:14 > 0:11:18I'm going to have to communicate through mime from here on in.

0:11:18 > 0:11:22I will be the Marcel Marceau of medical receptionists.

0:11:22 > 0:11:24- Valerie?- Yes?

0:11:24 > 0:11:27I wonder, could you do something for me?

0:11:27 > 0:11:30Mirror, signal, manoeuvre.

0:11:30 > 0:11:33Mirror, signal, manoeuvre.

0:11:34 > 0:11:36Oh, dear! Well, here we go.

0:11:41 > 0:11:44- What?!- Do you really think you should be driving?

0:11:44 > 0:11:46I don't see why not.

0:11:46 > 0:11:49Well, number one, you have macular degeneration.

0:11:49 > 0:11:52- And number two...- Yes?

0:11:52 > 0:11:53I want a word with you.

0:12:11 > 0:12:14When I suggested calling the police,

0:12:14 > 0:12:15you looked terrified.

0:12:16 > 0:12:18Why was that?

0:12:18 > 0:12:20Who is Kabali?

0:12:20 > 0:12:22None of your business.

0:12:22 > 0:12:24I could just phone them anyway.

0:12:26 > 0:12:29I first met Kabali a few months ago

0:12:29 > 0:12:34when I was walking a friend's dog in the woods.

0:12:34 > 0:12:35I saw him there.

0:12:35 > 0:12:40He was sleeping rough, in the middle of a bramble bush,

0:12:40 > 0:12:41or was it teasel? No.

0:12:41 > 0:12:43No, thistle.

0:12:43 > 0:12:45I don't need to know the exact foliage.

0:12:47 > 0:12:48And he had a packet of...

0:12:50 > 0:12:51..rich tea biscuits...

0:12:54 > 0:12:58..and a sleeping bag, and nothing else.

0:12:58 > 0:13:00I couldn't just leave him there, could I?

0:13:00 > 0:13:03So, you invited him home with you?

0:13:03 > 0:13:05I thought, if I left him there, he was going to die -

0:13:05 > 0:13:07and so was I.

0:13:07 > 0:13:09My life was going nowhere.

0:13:09 > 0:13:12But since then,

0:13:12 > 0:13:14he's become my carer,

0:13:14 > 0:13:15my chauffeur,

0:13:15 > 0:13:17my personal trainer...

0:13:18 > 0:13:19..and my friend.

0:13:21 > 0:13:23You said that he was training to be a nurse.

0:13:23 > 0:13:25Yes. He had to drop out.

0:13:25 > 0:13:27He couldn't afford the fees.

0:13:27 > 0:13:30How do you know that you can trust him?

0:13:30 > 0:13:31I don't.

0:13:31 > 0:13:35But what sort of world is it if we go around not trusting people?

0:13:37 > 0:13:39We have wonderful times together.

0:13:41 > 0:13:43Do you know what we do of an evening?

0:13:43 > 0:13:45- No?- No.

0:13:45 > 0:13:47Sometimes...

0:13:47 > 0:13:49he tells me about...

0:13:49 > 0:13:51his life in Namibia,

0:13:51 > 0:13:54and sometimes we watch TV -

0:13:54 > 0:13:56Dad's Army.

0:13:56 > 0:13:59He has a wonderful sense of humour.

0:13:59 > 0:14:02I tell him it's these men who won the war,

0:14:02 > 0:14:05not Churchill and his generals.

0:14:06 > 0:14:07Do you know that episode

0:14:07 > 0:14:09where Captain Mainwaring says,

0:14:09 > 0:14:11"Don't tell him, Pike!"

0:14:11 > 0:14:13Yes?

0:14:13 > 0:14:15Kabali says it to me all the time.

0:14:15 > 0:14:18I don't think he knows what it means.

0:14:18 > 0:14:21He thinks it's what English people say to each other

0:14:21 > 0:14:23in times of stress.

0:14:25 > 0:14:27So, where do you think he is now?

0:14:30 > 0:14:31I don't know.

0:14:33 > 0:14:34Probably gone.

0:14:36 > 0:14:37OK.

0:14:37 > 0:14:39Would you let me give you a lift home?

0:14:42 > 0:14:44Kabali.

0:14:44 > 0:14:46K-A-B-A...

0:14:46 > 0:14:48What are you doing, Val?

0:14:48 > 0:14:50I am looking up your attractive friend,

0:14:50 > 0:14:53Zara wants to find out about him...

0:14:53 > 0:14:55and there are 17 million results.

0:14:56 > 0:14:58Oh, I know.

0:14:58 > 0:14:59Namibia.

0:14:59 > 0:15:00Is that where he comes from?

0:15:00 > 0:15:02Yes, and if I get any more complaints,

0:15:02 > 0:15:04that's where I'm going to have to emigrate to.

0:15:04 > 0:15:05Positive thinking.

0:15:05 > 0:15:07I think you have to think like that, don't you?

0:15:07 > 0:15:12Sitting here, we see so much death and misery, and disease.

0:15:12 > 0:15:15While we've still got facial muscles, I think we should smile.

0:15:15 > 0:15:16Better to laugh at ourselves.

0:15:16 > 0:15:19Hmm. I think if people laugh at you,

0:15:19 > 0:15:21you should just try and join in with them.

0:15:21 > 0:15:24When I was at school, I was always being left out of stuff.

0:15:24 > 0:15:27Then one year, Gemma Goulding invited me

0:15:27 > 0:15:29to her 14th birthday party.

0:15:29 > 0:15:31Now, Gemma was something of the alpha female at our school,

0:15:31 > 0:15:33so it was a great honour.

0:15:33 > 0:15:34She said it was Saturday,

0:15:34 > 0:15:36her house, fancy dress.

0:15:36 > 0:15:38Did you go as Marilyn Monroe?

0:15:38 > 0:15:39No, but the previous Wednesday,

0:15:39 > 0:15:42I had seen a documentary about Carmen Miranda,

0:15:42 > 0:15:44and I thought, "I can do that."

0:15:44 > 0:15:47Fortunately, I already had an extensive dressing up box

0:15:47 > 0:15:50and a good relationship with the greengrocer.

0:15:50 > 0:15:52I bet you were so much fun!

0:15:52 > 0:15:54Well, I go, and let me tell you,

0:15:54 > 0:15:58it's not easy going on the number 19 bus with a pineapple on your head -

0:15:58 > 0:16:01and it turns out, it wasn't a fancy dress party.

0:16:01 > 0:16:03They'd just got me there to make fun of me.

0:16:03 > 0:16:04Valerie, that's awful.

0:16:05 > 0:16:07What did you do?

0:16:07 > 0:16:10Well, a little bit of me died.

0:16:10 > 0:16:12And then I thought I could burst into tears

0:16:12 > 0:16:14or I could scream and shout,

0:16:14 > 0:16:16or I could just say,

0:16:16 > 0:16:17"Hello, my chickadees,

0:16:17 > 0:16:20"does anyone know the lyrics to Agadoo?"

0:16:23 > 0:16:26- Come and have some lunch. - I am starving!

0:16:27 > 0:16:29Oh, I can look for this later.

0:16:42 > 0:16:44Hello there!

0:16:44 > 0:16:47I hope you are actually planning on buying something.

0:16:47 > 0:16:48Excuse me?!

0:16:48 > 0:16:50This is a shop, not an activity playground.

0:16:50 > 0:16:53Look, my son has mislaid my tablet.

0:16:53 > 0:16:55I don't suppose one's been handed in, has it?

0:16:55 > 0:16:56Not that I know of.

0:16:56 > 0:16:57Oh, hold on!

0:16:57 > 0:16:59Yes?

0:16:59 > 0:17:01Any chance I could have a look at your CCTV footage?

0:17:01 > 0:17:02Why?

0:17:02 > 0:17:05To see where he left it.

0:17:05 > 0:17:07No, that won't be possible for various reasons,

0:17:07 > 0:17:10primarily the Data Protection Act.

0:17:10 > 0:17:12Right. Not that it's not turned on?

0:17:12 > 0:17:15That is of no concern to you whatsoever.

0:17:15 > 0:17:17That's a yes, isn't it?

0:17:17 > 0:17:18OK, well, it just means that

0:17:18 > 0:17:21I'm going to have to look through every tent again.

0:17:23 > 0:17:25HE WHISTLES

0:17:26 > 0:17:28Hello? Kabali?

0:17:28 > 0:17:30Are you there?

0:17:32 > 0:17:33I think he's gone for good now.

0:17:33 > 0:17:35Right.

0:17:35 > 0:17:37And I strongly recommend that you change the locks.

0:17:37 > 0:17:38What?!

0:17:38 > 0:17:40What an awful thing to say. Whatever for?

0:17:40 > 0:17:42Because when all's said and done, you don't know him.

0:17:42 > 0:17:45You only know the stories he told you.

0:17:45 > 0:17:47I know more than you think.

0:17:47 > 0:17:49GRUNTING

0:17:49 > 0:17:51Ah!

0:17:51 > 0:17:53GRUNTING

0:17:53 > 0:17:55Kabali!

0:17:56 > 0:17:58Mrs Merriam...

0:17:59 > 0:18:00..I am sorry.

0:18:00 > 0:18:02What for?

0:18:02 > 0:18:04I stole from you.

0:18:04 > 0:18:06How could you?

0:18:06 > 0:18:07What's mine is yours.

0:18:09 > 0:18:11I stole your sleeping tablets.

0:18:11 > 0:18:13HE GAGS

0:18:13 > 0:18:14I feel sick.

0:18:20 > 0:18:21OK, so, legs apart...

0:18:21 > 0:18:22Legs apart.

0:18:22 > 0:18:24- ..belly out.- Belly out.

0:18:24 > 0:18:26- ..and spin!- Spin!- Go!

0:18:26 > 0:18:28Oh, I'm doing... No.

0:18:28 > 0:18:29This is awful.

0:18:29 > 0:18:32I thought it was one of those things that you never forgot how to do -

0:18:32 > 0:18:34like riding a bicycle, or...

0:18:36 > 0:18:38Oh, now I'm worried about all the other things

0:18:38 > 0:18:40- I might not be able to do any more. - OK, what do they say?

0:18:40 > 0:18:42- "If, at first, you don't succeed..."- Give up!

0:18:42 > 0:18:43Well, that's what Karen's doing.

0:18:43 > 0:18:45I mean, she's abandoned the hoop,

0:18:45 > 0:18:48she's inside tucking into a Wagon Wheel.

0:18:48 > 0:18:50What was that about giving up?

0:18:50 > 0:18:52Are you joining us, Hollins?

0:18:52 > 0:18:54You bet I am.

0:18:54 > 0:18:56I don't care what Rob or anyone says,

0:18:56 > 0:18:59I have still got it.

0:18:59 > 0:19:01- Hey! Spin!- Spin!

0:19:01 > 0:19:06MUSIC: Macarena by Los del Rio

0:19:07 > 0:19:11I've forgotten to do that thing Zara asked me to do!

0:19:11 > 0:19:13She's going to kill me.

0:19:13 > 0:19:15Keep spinning, Hollins.

0:19:15 > 0:19:16It's very hard in heels.

0:19:16 > 0:19:18Yeah, but it looks good.

0:19:18 > 0:19:20How long?

0:19:20 > 0:19:22OK, OK. Bye.

0:19:22 > 0:19:24They're going to be ten minutes.

0:19:24 > 0:19:25How are you feeling?

0:19:25 > 0:19:27Oh, better now.

0:19:27 > 0:19:29Why did you do it?

0:19:29 > 0:19:32I did not want to be a burden any longer.

0:19:32 > 0:19:34A burden?

0:19:34 > 0:19:35You're as much a burden

0:19:35 > 0:19:37as my right arm.

0:19:37 > 0:19:39What would I have done, Kabali,

0:19:39 > 0:19:42if I'd come home and found you lying there...

0:19:42 > 0:19:44- PHONE RINGS - ...and I couldn't wake you?

0:19:44 > 0:19:46Hello, Valerie?

0:19:46 > 0:19:47Yes.

0:19:48 > 0:19:50What?

0:19:58 > 0:19:59Since when?

0:20:01 > 0:20:05Oh, thank you very much, Valerie. Bye.

0:20:08 > 0:20:10That was a colleague of mine.

0:20:11 > 0:20:13Could you tell me your full name?

0:20:16 > 0:20:18Would it be Kabali Mangundu?

0:20:19 > 0:20:21What is this about?

0:20:23 > 0:20:24Mrs Merriam,

0:20:24 > 0:20:28everything that Kabali has told you is true,

0:20:28 > 0:20:30he is a trainee nurse

0:20:30 > 0:20:32and he is here legally,

0:20:32 > 0:20:35but the reason he that can't go back to Namibia

0:20:35 > 0:20:37is that he's wanted by the police...

0:20:39 > 0:20:40..for suspected murder.

0:20:44 > 0:20:46Come on, mate, I need to get home.

0:20:46 > 0:20:48We'll put the tent up in the garden if you like.

0:20:48 > 0:20:50Found it!

0:20:50 > 0:20:51Oh, well done!

0:20:51 > 0:20:53MAN GAGS

0:20:53 > 0:20:55Joe, Stay there.

0:20:58 > 0:21:00- Are you all right, mate? - I'm a doctor. I'll take over.

0:21:00 > 0:21:01Can you cough?

0:21:01 > 0:21:03All right, stay still for me.

0:21:06 > 0:21:08Please, believe me.

0:21:08 > 0:21:10I would never hurt anyone.

0:21:10 > 0:21:12Well, then you won't mind me calling the police.

0:21:12 > 0:21:15- No!- Hang on, is this about your uncle?

0:21:16 > 0:21:17You knew?

0:21:17 > 0:21:19You knew?

0:21:19 > 0:21:22Yes, I could hear you having nightmares.

0:21:22 > 0:21:24You called out his name in your sleep.

0:21:24 > 0:21:27You seem terrified of him.

0:21:27 > 0:21:28He was a terrible man.

0:21:29 > 0:21:31When my father died,

0:21:31 > 0:21:34he said he was going to look after us.

0:21:34 > 0:21:36He did no such thing.

0:21:36 > 0:21:37Whatever he did,

0:21:37 > 0:21:39whatever the circumstances,

0:21:39 > 0:21:43I think that you should inform the authorities.

0:21:43 > 0:21:44He raped my mother.

0:21:46 > 0:21:47I came home, and found her, crying.

0:21:50 > 0:21:52I did not mean to do what I did, but...

0:21:52 > 0:21:54You don't have to tell me.

0:21:54 > 0:21:56You can tell the police.

0:21:56 > 0:21:58They will understand that there are certain circumstances where...

0:21:58 > 0:22:01Do you really think that he'll get a fair hearing?

0:22:01 > 0:22:04Are you really that naive?

0:22:04 > 0:22:05It's just...

0:22:05 > 0:22:08SHE GASPS

0:22:08 > 0:22:10Mrs Merriam?

0:22:10 > 0:22:12Mrs Merriam?

0:22:12 > 0:22:14Can I have a go? I do know first aid.

0:22:14 > 0:22:16- Where is the ambulance? - It's on its way.

0:22:16 > 0:22:18Please! Let me have a go.

0:22:18 > 0:22:19- Are you a doctor?- No.

0:22:19 > 0:22:20OK, well then help me.

0:22:20 > 0:22:23Please get a Swiss army knife and a biro pen.

0:22:23 > 0:22:25Hurry!

0:22:27 > 0:22:29It's OK, Joe.

0:22:29 > 0:22:31It's all right. Don't worry.

0:22:34 > 0:22:36Now, breathe deeply.

0:22:37 > 0:22:39SHE EXHALES

0:22:39 > 0:22:41Are you with us?

0:22:46 > 0:22:49..get the biscuits.

0:22:50 > 0:22:52What?

0:22:52 > 0:22:54The biscuits.

0:22:54 > 0:22:56What are you two up to?

0:22:58 > 0:23:00Nothing, dear. Nothing.

0:23:00 > 0:23:01Mrs Merriam...

0:23:01 > 0:23:03I could not take your money.

0:23:05 > 0:23:07Have a biscuit.

0:23:11 > 0:23:13Thank you.

0:23:13 > 0:23:15OK, I don't know what's going on here

0:23:15 > 0:23:17but, for the next two minutes,

0:23:17 > 0:23:19my priority is Mrs Merriam.

0:23:21 > 0:23:23Goodbye, Kabali.

0:23:24 > 0:23:25Goodbye, Mrs Merriam...

0:23:27 > 0:23:30..and, "Don't tell him, Pike."

0:23:37 > 0:23:39The ambulance will be here in ten minutes.

0:23:39 > 0:23:40There's a burst water main.

0:23:40 > 0:23:42I'm going to have to open him up.

0:23:54 > 0:23:56OK, come on. Come on.

0:23:58 > 0:23:59Come on. Come on.

0:23:59 > 0:24:01What's happening?

0:24:01 > 0:24:03He's gone into cardiac arrest.

0:24:05 > 0:24:06Are you OK, Mrs Merriam?

0:24:08 > 0:24:11He doesn't have a bad bone in his body.

0:24:11 > 0:24:14I'm sure...

0:24:14 > 0:24:16he was driven to it through circumstances.

0:24:19 > 0:24:20And anyway...

0:24:20 > 0:24:23we all murder people, don't we?

0:24:23 > 0:24:26No, we don't.

0:24:26 > 0:24:28Well, not directly,

0:24:28 > 0:24:31but every time we see someone in need,

0:24:31 > 0:24:35and...we turn away.

0:24:35 > 0:24:36Or...

0:24:36 > 0:24:38Or a charity appeal comes on,

0:24:38 > 0:24:41we change the channel.

0:24:41 > 0:24:42That's different!

0:24:42 > 0:24:45Whatever.

0:24:45 > 0:24:46Nobody's perfect...

0:24:48 > 0:24:50..and, for three months...

0:24:52 > 0:24:54..I had a very good friend.

0:25:09 > 0:25:11Come on.

0:25:11 > 0:25:13That's it. That's it, stay with me.

0:25:13 > 0:25:15- You're going to be fine. - THEY APPLAUD

0:25:40 > 0:25:43'This is Daniel Granger. Please leave a message.'

0:25:43 > 0:25:46Hi, Daniel, it's me.

0:25:46 > 0:25:49Just calling to see if you're having any adventures.

0:25:49 > 0:25:51I am having

0:25:51 > 0:25:53a WEIRD sort of a day.

0:25:54 > 0:25:55Anyway, send my love to Joe.

0:25:55 > 0:25:59I can't wait to hear all about what you guys have been up to.

0:26:23 > 0:26:26All right...

0:26:26 > 0:26:28Look.

0:26:40 > 0:26:4116 years...

0:26:42 > 0:26:44..five months and four days ago.

0:26:44 > 0:26:47One in five hospital meals are left untouched.

0:26:47 > 0:26:50Well, they wouldn't be if they was as nice as what you made.

0:26:50 > 0:26:53He's never going to see me in the same way again.

0:26:53 > 0:26:55Maybe it's good for him to learn the truth.

0:26:55 > 0:26:57But I don't want him to see me as a failure.
