0:00:27 > 0:00:29Good morning, Dr Vere.
0:00:30 > 0:00:32I need to speak to you.
0:00:32 > 0:00:35Oh. Is everything all right?
0:00:35 > 0:00:38I'd like you to arrange a meeting with the partners for me.
0:00:38 > 0:00:39The partners?
0:00:39 > 0:00:41And you. I need to speak to you too.
0:00:41 > 0:00:44Well, as you know, Dr Clay is still away
0:00:44 > 0:00:47and Dr Carmichael is on a course.
0:00:47 > 0:00:49You and Daniel will do.
0:00:49 > 0:00:51Can I ask what this is about?
0:00:51 > 0:00:52I'd rather not say.
0:00:52 > 0:00:54That sounds serious.
0:00:54 > 0:00:55It is.
0:00:56 > 0:00:58How serious?
0:00:58 > 0:00:59On a scale of one to ten?
0:01:00 > 0:01:01Ten.
0:01:07 > 0:01:08Morning.
0:01:11 > 0:01:12Sid?
0:01:15 > 0:01:16What's wrong with him?
0:01:17 > 0:01:19I have no idea.
0:01:19 > 0:01:21You haven't had a go at him, have you?
0:01:21 > 0:01:24Do you know of any reason why he might be upset?
0:01:24 > 0:01:26No, although he has been quite funny recently.
0:01:26 > 0:01:28What do you mean funny?
0:01:28 > 0:01:31Anxious. Well, more than normal, which is saying a lot.
0:01:31 > 0:01:34Has any of the patients said something to him?
0:01:34 > 0:01:35No. He'd tell me if they did.
0:01:35 > 0:01:37He tells me everything.
0:01:37 > 0:01:39Well, something is very wrong.
0:01:39 > 0:01:41Maybe it's personal life.
0:01:41 > 0:01:42Relationship problems.
0:01:42 > 0:01:45Why would he want to speak to me about that?
0:01:45 > 0:01:48Mind you, I haven't seen him with a girl recently.
0:01:48 > 0:01:50Maybe he's decided he's gay.
0:01:51 > 0:01:53That is hardly likely.
0:01:53 > 0:01:55Well, it happens.
0:01:55 > 0:01:58I mean, you think you're something and then one day, bang,
0:01:58 > 0:02:00you wake up and you realise you're something else.
0:02:00 > 0:02:01Look at Emma.
0:02:01 > 0:02:04Dr Vere's personal life is none of our business.
0:02:04 > 0:02:06Well, it is if it affects his work.
0:02:06 > 0:02:10I am sure it will not. He is very conscientious.
0:02:10 > 0:02:12Maybe he fancies one of the other doctors.
0:02:12 > 0:02:14Miss Pitman, please!
0:02:14 > 0:02:17I wish I had not said anything, and please do not spread
0:02:17 > 0:02:18malicious gossip!
0:02:18 > 0:02:20- Morning.- Morning.
0:02:20 > 0:02:23Oh, I was just wondering if...
0:02:23 > 0:02:24If you...
0:02:27 > 0:02:28Miss Pitman.
0:02:30 > 0:02:32Miss Pitman, back to work, please.
0:02:38 > 0:02:40Where do you get your energy? I'm exhausted.
0:02:40 > 0:02:42Are you complaining about having too much sex?
0:02:42 > 0:02:43No.
0:02:43 > 0:02:46But if we keep on like this, I'm going to start falling asleep
0:02:46 > 0:02:47at work.
0:02:47 > 0:02:49Then our baby will have two stay-at-home dads.
0:02:49 > 0:02:53Regular sex prevents the natural build up of DNA damage.
0:02:53 > 0:02:56The more we do it, the healthier the baby will be.
0:02:56 > 0:02:58You're obsessed.
0:02:59 > 0:03:02Aw, you're not seriously going to wear these?
0:03:02 > 0:03:04The website recommends a daily jog.
0:03:04 > 0:03:06What happened to the Lycra ones?
0:03:06 > 0:03:07Too tight.
0:03:07 > 0:03:10- At least they had some style. - I have to keep my bits cool.
0:03:10 > 0:03:12Obsessed!
0:03:14 > 0:03:16I've waited forever to have this baby.
0:03:16 > 0:03:18- Forever? - And I'm going to do it right.
0:03:18 > 0:03:20You're 30, Lenny.
0:03:20 > 0:03:22My Aunt Alice used to say I was the only broody 13-year-old
0:03:22 > 0:03:24she'd ever met.
0:03:24 > 0:03:25You certainly are unique.
0:03:27 > 0:03:31The website also said we should use an American surrogacy agency.
0:03:31 > 0:03:35It would, wouldn't it? Advertising is how they make their money.
0:03:35 > 0:03:36Cynic.
0:03:36 > 0:03:40These agencies, they prey on desperate people like you.
0:03:40 > 0:03:41Desperate?
0:03:41 > 0:03:44All they do is find someone who's willing to get pregnant
0:03:44 > 0:03:45and give you the baby.
0:03:45 > 0:03:48- That's not all. - We've already found someone.
0:03:48 > 0:03:52And that money can be much better spent on the baby.
0:03:52 > 0:03:53Fine.
0:03:55 > 0:03:56Hey! Get your own.
0:03:59 > 0:04:01- Are we still having lunch with her? - Yep.
0:04:03 > 0:04:05I did say she can be a bit of an acquired taste?
0:04:06 > 0:04:09- Once or twice. - But she's totally reliable.
0:04:09 > 0:04:11Hey.
0:04:11 > 0:04:12I trust you.
0:04:18 > 0:04:21You must have some idea why he wants to come and talk to us.
0:04:21 > 0:04:26No. Miss Pitman seems to think it is a personal problem.
0:04:26 > 0:04:28Don't pay too much attention to what she says.
0:04:28 > 0:04:30I cannot imagine what is troubling him.
0:04:30 > 0:04:34You know how obsessed he gets. It's probably nothing.
0:04:34 > 0:04:35Right.
0:04:41 > 0:04:43What are you doing?
0:04:45 > 0:04:47- I told Tom I quit. - You thought I was Tom?
0:04:47 > 0:04:49I'm just jumpy.
0:04:49 > 0:04:51I promised him I'd stop smoking for the baby.
0:04:51 > 0:04:53Does he know how many times you've tried to quit?
0:04:53 > 0:04:56Yeah. Well, I've given up junk food, late nights.
0:04:56 > 0:04:58- This is the one vice I've got left. - What about sex?
0:05:00 > 0:05:02- I'm not giving that up.- Good.
0:05:02 > 0:05:05As long as Tom doesn't find out, what harm can it do?
0:05:05 > 0:05:07It's not like I'm the one getting pregnant.
0:05:07 > 0:05:09It would be pretty weird if you were.
0:05:09 > 0:05:12Can you get your cousin to have a look at this?
0:05:12 > 0:05:13What is it?
0:05:13 > 0:05:15Just a questionnaire.
0:05:15 > 0:05:17It's all the stuff they say you should know about
0:05:17 > 0:05:19a potential surrogate.
0:05:19 > 0:05:20Who says?
0:05:20 > 0:05:22Some American surrogacy website.
0:05:22 > 0:05:25Tom downloaded it from the website.
0:05:25 > 0:05:28He'd get them to do everything, if he had his way.
0:05:28 > 0:05:30You know how much they charge?
0:05:30 > 0:05:32- 80 grand. - For having a baby?
0:05:32 > 0:05:34I think that's extra.
0:05:34 > 0:05:37This's just for the lawyers, insurance companies, the shrinks.
0:05:37 > 0:05:39Total rip-off.
0:05:39 > 0:05:41Do people actually pay that?
0:05:41 > 0:05:43There's one born every minute.
0:05:43 > 0:05:46I mean, how hard can it be to get pregnant?
0:05:46 > 0:05:49The hard part is NOT getting pregnant.
0:05:53 > 0:05:55Have you lost your mind?
0:05:55 > 0:05:58- No. - You can't be a surrogate.
0:05:58 > 0:05:59Why not?
0:05:59 > 0:06:02Do you have any idea what's involved?
0:06:02 > 0:06:04Getting pregnant?
0:06:04 > 0:06:05And?
0:06:05 > 0:06:08And it's never been a problem.
0:06:08 > 0:06:10There's a lot more to it than that, Kayleigh.
0:06:10 > 0:06:13Look, if you're going to get all snooty, I'll leave.
0:06:13 > 0:06:15I just need you to sign this question thingy.
0:06:15 > 0:06:17- I can't.- Why not?
0:06:17 > 0:06:19- For a start, I'm not your GP. - So?
0:06:19 > 0:06:21You've not even mentioned the abortion.
0:06:21 > 0:06:23I was 19.
0:06:23 > 0:06:26Or all the morning after pills, or the recreational drugs use.
0:06:26 > 0:06:27I haven't taken anything in years.
0:06:27 > 0:06:29It still counts.
0:06:29 > 0:06:31The only people who are going to read this are the two dads,
0:06:31 > 0:06:33and all they care about is if I can get pregnant.
0:06:33 > 0:06:35You really don't get it, do you?
0:06:35 > 0:06:38Eesh, a guy looks at me, I get pregnant.
0:06:38 > 0:06:41Because you refuse to use birth control, except for condoms,
0:06:41 > 0:06:43and you forget them half the time.
0:06:43 > 0:06:45- Well?- Well, what?
0:06:45 > 0:06:47What are you always telling me?
0:06:48 > 0:06:50Stick to what you're good at.
0:06:50 > 0:06:53You're unbelievable. I'm not signing that.
0:06:53 > 0:06:56- Why are you always making everything so difficult?- Me?!
0:06:58 > 0:07:00Oh, sorry!
0:07:00 > 0:07:03So sorry, although I am so glad I bumped into you.
0:07:03 > 0:07:04Literally.
0:07:04 > 0:07:06- Just wondered what you're doing for lunch.- Why?
0:07:06 > 0:07:08Well, I thought it would be nice to catch up.
0:07:08 > 0:07:10Oh, a catch up?
0:07:10 > 0:07:13Yeah, you know, to have some girls' time.
0:07:13 > 0:07:15You could tell me all about Cornwall.
0:07:15 > 0:07:21Cream teas, caravans, little tiny pottery rabbits, a gift from Truro.
0:07:21 > 0:07:22What?
0:07:22 > 0:07:24Memories.
0:07:24 > 0:07:25I wasn't in Truro.
0:07:25 > 0:07:27We could pop over to the Icon.
0:07:27 > 0:07:29Maybe even have a sneaky glass of wine.
0:07:29 > 0:07:31- I'm sorry, I'm busy. - Share some gossip?
0:07:34 > 0:07:37If you're going to do this, at least go through an agency.
0:07:37 > 0:07:39I don't need some posh div telling me how to do it.
0:07:39 > 0:07:40- That's not what... - It's easy.
0:07:40 > 0:07:43Lenny and I have it off a few times, I get up the duff.
0:07:43 > 0:07:45- Job done. - You're going to sleep with him?!
0:07:45 > 0:07:47Duh. It's how it usually works.
0:07:47 > 0:07:49Um, not with surrogacy.
0:07:49 > 0:07:52Oh, what?
0:07:52 > 0:07:55You want me to use one of them disgusting squeezy bottle things?
0:07:55 > 0:07:57An insemination kit, yes.
0:07:57 > 0:07:58Way too creepy.
0:07:58 > 0:08:00Kay, you can't sleep with him.
0:08:00 > 0:08:01Why not?
0:08:01 > 0:08:04- Isn't he married? - So?- And gay.
0:08:04 > 0:08:05He wasn't always.
0:08:06 > 0:08:08We had a thing once. You were away.
0:08:08 > 0:08:10Oh, my...
0:08:10 > 0:08:12He's an ex?
0:08:12 > 0:08:14Yeah. And seriously hot.
0:08:14 > 0:08:16So that's why you're doing this?
0:08:16 > 0:08:17So you can sleep with your ex?
0:08:17 > 0:08:19No, of course not!
0:08:19 > 0:08:21There's no harm in having a bit of fun, though,
0:08:21 > 0:08:23- for old times' sake. - Kayleigh!
0:08:23 > 0:08:25And for him, it's better than doing it with a complete stranger.
0:08:25 > 0:08:27Don't get all sensible on me.
0:08:27 > 0:08:31- I'm doing it for the right reasons.- Which are?
0:08:31 > 0:08:33I want to bring a new life into the world for
0:08:33 > 0:08:35a lovely couple who can't have a baby.
0:08:35 > 0:08:36Oh, very noble.
0:08:36 > 0:08:40And I love the idea of a tiny piece of him growing inside my tummy.
0:08:40 > 0:08:44You do realise you have to give the baby up when it's born?!
0:08:44 > 0:08:47Lenny's a mate. It's not like I'll never see him again.
0:08:47 > 0:08:50- Or the baby. - That's exactly what it means.
0:08:52 > 0:08:55I know that there have been some issues with my performance.
0:08:55 > 0:08:57Well, at first, yes, but...
0:08:57 > 0:08:59And I know that the figures aren't good.
0:08:59 > 0:09:01You do?
0:09:01 > 0:09:03So you're going to have to make some cuts.
0:09:03 > 0:09:04Who told you this?
0:09:04 > 0:09:07Obviously it's going to be last in first out.
0:09:07 > 0:09:09I know that's the way it has to be.
0:09:09 > 0:09:12- Sid, no-one is... - Please.
0:09:12 > 0:09:14I appreciate that you don't want to hurt my feelings,
0:09:14 > 0:09:15but this is hard enough as it is.
0:09:15 > 0:09:17Dr Vere...
0:09:17 > 0:09:19Look, the uncertainty is killing me.
0:09:21 > 0:09:23If you could give me one last chance.
0:09:24 > 0:09:26To do what?
0:09:27 > 0:09:31OK. Fair enough. I had to ask.
0:09:32 > 0:09:35Sid, no-one has any problem with you.
0:09:35 > 0:09:38We are very pleased with what you are doing.
0:09:38 > 0:09:41You're not making me redundant?
0:09:41 > 0:09:42- Redundant?- No.
0:09:45 > 0:09:46Where did you get such an idea?
0:09:51 > 0:09:53I can't believe I let you talk me into this.
0:09:53 > 0:09:55- You owe me.- For what?
0:09:55 > 0:09:57If you're not going to sign that question thing, the least you
0:09:57 > 0:09:59can do is tell them I'll be a great surrogate.
0:09:59 > 0:10:01You won't, and I'm not going to lie.
0:10:01 > 0:10:03Since when did you care so much about the truth?
0:10:03 > 0:10:05Since I might lose my job.
0:10:05 > 0:10:07- You are so boring. - Thanks.
0:10:07 > 0:10:10At least promise not to mention anything about the alcoholic gene
0:10:10 > 0:10:12- in the family. - Don't start all this again.
0:10:12 > 0:10:16- In fact, don't mention genes at all. - I wasn't planning to!
0:10:16 > 0:10:17Just say good stuff about me.
0:10:19 > 0:10:21I can't do this.
0:10:21 > 0:10:23Eesh, this is really important.
0:10:23 > 0:10:25They're paying me twice what I earn at Mason's.
0:10:25 > 0:10:26- They're paying you?! - Of course.
0:10:26 > 0:10:30And before you get all snippy again, there's nothing sleazy about it.
0:10:30 > 0:10:32They're just paying my expenses.
0:10:32 > 0:10:33That's it?
0:10:33 > 0:10:36Mind you, I've got a lot of expenses.
0:10:36 > 0:10:38I thought you said this bloke was a mate?
0:10:38 > 0:10:41They were going to pay some American agency 80 grand.
0:10:41 > 0:10:43I'm doing them a favour.
0:10:43 > 0:10:45How very generous of you.
0:10:50 > 0:10:53Although, I might put my prices up.
0:10:53 > 0:10:55I don't want to sell myself short.
0:10:59 > 0:11:01Well, I heard you talking.
0:11:01 > 0:11:03When?
0:11:03 > 0:11:05A few weeks ago.
0:11:05 > 0:11:06You were eavesdropping?
0:11:06 > 0:11:08No.
0:11:08 > 0:11:12I mean, I didn't mean to, but yeah, sort of, and then Valerie said
0:11:12 > 0:11:14my name came up in the meeting.
0:11:14 > 0:11:15What, Miss Pitman told you that?
0:11:15 > 0:11:18Yeah, she said it came up a lot.
0:11:18 > 0:11:20And that's it? That's all it was?
0:11:20 > 0:11:22No, no, there were other things.
0:11:22 > 0:11:25The way people were treating me and looking at me.
0:11:25 > 0:11:27What people?
0:11:27 > 0:11:29Valerie and others.
0:11:30 > 0:11:32Who?
0:11:32 > 0:11:34Well, Valerie, mainly, actually.
0:11:35 > 0:11:37And?
0:11:37 > 0:11:39I just thought that everyone knew I was finished.
0:11:39 > 0:11:41They seemed to, at least.
0:11:42 > 0:11:45You know, now I've said all this out loud, it doesn't sound
0:11:45 > 0:11:47- very convincing, does it?- No.
0:11:48 > 0:11:51You are a valued colleague, Dr Vere.
0:11:51 > 0:11:55And I have had lots of patient feedback on you.
0:11:55 > 0:11:56You have?
0:11:57 > 0:11:58All good.
0:11:58 > 0:12:00Really?
0:12:00 > 0:12:03Why does that sound so surprising to you?
0:12:03 > 0:12:04Actually...
0:12:06 > 0:12:08..what else did Miss Pitman say?
0:12:08 > 0:12:10I can't remember exactly.
0:12:10 > 0:12:12But she did give me the impression I was in trouble.
0:12:12 > 0:12:15You should know better than to listen to Valerie.
0:12:15 > 0:12:17Why did you not come to me with your concerns?
0:12:18 > 0:12:19Sorry.
0:12:29 > 0:12:30Valerie? Can I have a word?
0:12:30 > 0:12:33- Not now, Sid.- But I really need... - Later.
0:12:39 > 0:12:41And her cousin's a nurse.
0:12:41 > 0:12:44So if we've got any problems, all we have to...
0:12:44 > 0:12:46What's wrong?
0:12:46 > 0:12:48Nothing.
0:12:48 > 0:12:49I know that look.
0:12:49 > 0:12:51Come on. What is it?
0:12:51 > 0:12:54I know how much you want to be the baby's father.
0:12:54 > 0:12:56We'll both be fathers.
0:12:56 > 0:12:58I mean the biological father.
0:12:58 > 0:13:00It doesn't matter who the donor is.
0:13:00 > 0:13:01Actually, it does.
0:13:02 > 0:13:04Why?
0:13:04 > 0:13:06You'll be spending all your time with the baby.
0:13:06 > 0:13:09The way you are, you'll bond with it in five minutes.
0:13:09 > 0:13:10So will you.
0:13:10 > 0:13:13I'm not like you, Lenny.
0:13:13 > 0:13:14And I'll be at work most of the time.
0:13:14 > 0:13:16Only cos you earn more.
0:13:16 > 0:13:19What if I start feeling it isn't really mine?
0:13:19 > 0:13:20You won't.
0:13:22 > 0:13:25If it's got my genes, I won't.
0:13:25 > 0:13:26What about my genes?
0:13:28 > 0:13:32- The next one will be yours, I promise.- The next one?
0:13:32 > 0:13:33I was an only child.
0:13:33 > 0:13:37- I do not want our kids growing up like that.- Kids?
0:13:37 > 0:13:38At least two.
0:13:41 > 0:13:43We're really doing this, aren't we?
0:13:43 > 0:13:45We're going to be a family.
0:13:47 > 0:13:49I do not understand how he got so confused.
0:13:49 > 0:13:51It's like he needs constant reassurance.
0:13:51 > 0:13:54But he is a good doctor.
0:13:54 > 0:13:57He has low self-esteem, no matter what I say to him.
0:13:57 > 0:14:00He needs a good kick up the backside, is what he needs.
0:14:00 > 0:14:04No, no. It is a serious lapse of management from all of us.
0:14:04 > 0:14:07True, true, and we'll look at that, but you know what,
0:14:07 > 0:14:08it's mostly down to him.
0:14:10 > 0:14:12I will have to try to sort him out.
0:14:12 > 0:14:15No. You've got too much on your plate already.
0:14:15 > 0:14:17Leave it to me.
0:14:17 > 0:14:18PHONE RINGS
0:14:20 > 0:14:22Have you thought about using an agency?
0:14:22 > 0:14:25They don't need to. They've got me.
0:14:25 > 0:14:28- We did consider it. - Way too expensive.
0:14:28 > 0:14:30And I'm cheap as chips, but not in a bad way.
0:14:32 > 0:14:35Money is a bit tight for us at the moment.
0:14:35 > 0:14:38And the things they say about the cost of raising children...
0:14:38 > 0:14:40- You shouldn't let that worry you. - I need to use the loo.
0:14:40 > 0:14:43Lots of people who don't have money do all right by their children.
0:14:43 > 0:14:45Yeah, I'm sure, but it's still a worry.
0:14:45 > 0:14:47So do I.
0:14:47 > 0:14:48I'm sorry?
0:14:48 > 0:14:50The loo, I need to use the loo.
0:14:52 > 0:14:56I agree with you and, honestly, if it were up to me,
0:14:56 > 0:14:57I'd go with an agency.
0:14:57 > 0:14:59I think you should.
0:14:59 > 0:15:01But Lenny handles all our finances.
0:15:01 > 0:15:04And he swears that Kayleigh is the perfect surrogate,
0:15:04 > 0:15:07healthy, trustworthy.
0:15:07 > 0:15:08He says that?
0:15:09 > 0:15:10And I trust him.
0:15:11 > 0:15:15- But I'd really like to know what you think.- Me?
0:15:15 > 0:15:16She is your cousin.
0:15:18 > 0:15:19What can I say?
0:15:25 > 0:15:27- (What are you doing?) - Shh!
0:15:27 > 0:15:29- You want to do it now?- What?
0:15:29 > 0:15:32Isn't that a bit risky, cos he's downstairs?
0:15:32 > 0:15:34- No, that's not what... - We'll do it at my place.
0:15:34 > 0:15:36- With candles, like we used to. - No.
0:15:36 > 0:15:38Why not?
0:15:38 > 0:15:39I'm not sleeping with you, Kayleigh.
0:15:39 > 0:15:41But you agreed.
0:15:41 > 0:15:44No, you agreed. I couldn't get a word in edgeways. I never can.
0:15:44 > 0:15:46I don't get it.
0:15:46 > 0:15:49It doesn't matter. Look, Tom's decided that he wants
0:15:49 > 0:15:50- to be the donor.- Tom?
0:15:50 > 0:15:53Yeah, he thinks it will help him bond better with the baby.
0:15:53 > 0:15:55It doesn't matter, it doesn't change anything.
0:15:55 > 0:15:58No, it doesn't, does it? We can still do it.
0:15:58 > 0:15:59What?
0:15:59 > 0:16:02We'll just say we used his stuff. He'll never know.
0:16:02 > 0:16:03Yes, he will.
0:16:03 > 0:16:04How?
0:16:04 > 0:16:05When the baby's born?
0:16:07 > 0:16:09- Oh, yeah, that's true.- Yeah.
0:16:09 > 0:16:11Anyway, I'd never go behind his back.
0:16:11 > 0:16:13Urgh!
0:16:19 > 0:16:21Emma?
0:16:21 > 0:16:23Oh, what a coincidence!
0:16:23 > 0:16:25I was just on my way to lunch.
0:16:25 > 0:16:27- Really?- Would you like to join me?- No.
0:16:27 > 0:16:28Oh, go on.
0:16:28 > 0:16:32I hate eating alone and I really do want us to catch up.
0:16:32 > 0:16:33Valerie, what are you doing?
0:16:35 > 0:16:36Or we could just sit here.
0:16:37 > 0:16:39A bit of fresh air, do us both good.
0:16:44 > 0:16:46Your cousin and I were just talking about you.
0:16:46 > 0:16:48Oh, yeah?
0:16:48 > 0:16:50I had some doubts, at first.
0:16:50 > 0:16:53But I told him we could trust you.
0:16:53 > 0:16:55And after talking to Ayesha...
0:16:58 > 0:17:00..I'm totally reassured.
0:17:00 > 0:17:01You are?
0:17:01 > 0:17:03And we want to go ahead, as soon as possible.
0:17:03 > 0:17:06Yeah, well, there's a couple of things we need to get straight.
0:17:06 > 0:17:07Fire away.
0:17:07 > 0:17:10The agreement was to have his baby, not yours.
0:17:10 > 0:17:12Does it make a difference?
0:17:12 > 0:17:13- It does to me.- Kay.
0:17:13 > 0:17:15- That's not what we agreed. - It was.
0:17:15 > 0:17:19- It's up to them who is the donor. - And it's my body.
0:17:19 > 0:17:20Why does it matter?
0:17:20 > 0:17:22I lost his baby once. I'm not doing it again.
0:17:22 > 0:17:23What?
0:17:23 > 0:17:26- What baby? - What are you saying?
0:17:26 > 0:17:27Why is it so hot in here?
0:17:29 > 0:17:30What is she talking about?!
0:17:36 > 0:17:38I don't know how they managed without me.
0:17:38 > 0:17:40They don't know how to run a meeting,
0:17:40 > 0:17:41I had to show them everything.
0:17:41 > 0:17:45- They must be thrilled. - I am invaluable.
0:17:45 > 0:17:48Mind you, Mrs Tembe keeps trying to do my job as well as hers.
0:17:48 > 0:17:50Things I have to put up with.
0:17:50 > 0:17:51You must be exhausted.
0:17:51 > 0:17:54Well, I'm worried sick half the time.
0:17:55 > 0:17:56About what?
0:17:56 > 0:17:59Oh, you name it. Al, for starters.
0:17:59 > 0:18:01Have you seen how much he's drinking
0:18:01 > 0:18:03since his father died?
0:18:03 > 0:18:05Well, more than he usually does?
0:18:05 > 0:18:06Way more.
0:18:06 > 0:18:08And that is never good.
0:18:08 > 0:18:09No.
0:18:09 > 0:18:11And that headache he had the other day?
0:18:11 > 0:18:14- I was really frightened. - You were frightened?
0:18:14 > 0:18:16Yeah, Ayesha said she thought it was just a hangover.
0:18:16 > 0:18:19But I know hangovers, that was not a hangover.
0:18:19 > 0:18:20She could be right.
0:18:20 > 0:18:22No, I think there's definitely something really wrong
0:18:22 > 0:18:25with him. I'm sure of it.
0:18:25 > 0:18:27Mind you, at least he's got people around him who care.
0:18:27 > 0:18:29Has he?
0:18:29 > 0:18:30Yep, us.
0:18:30 > 0:18:32Oh, right, yes.
0:18:32 > 0:18:35Imagine going through that on your own.
0:18:35 > 0:18:36Mmm.
0:18:36 > 0:18:39Mind you, not everyone is as sensitive as I am.
0:18:39 > 0:18:41You know, the other day, a patient had a right go at me
0:18:41 > 0:18:44just because I was thinking about Al and not listening to her drivel.
0:18:44 > 0:18:47- She could see how worried I was. - Well, maybe not.
0:18:47 > 0:18:49Oh, no, she knew.
0:18:49 > 0:18:51She was just deliberately trying to wind me up.
0:18:51 > 0:18:55Valerie, not everything is about you.
0:18:57 > 0:18:59Do you think I'm self-obsessed?
0:19:01 > 0:19:02A little bit.
0:19:02 > 0:19:04VALERIE'S STOMACH RUMBLES
0:19:04 > 0:19:06Oh, sorry. That was me.
0:19:06 > 0:19:09You sure you don't to go for lunch?
0:19:09 > 0:19:10Oh, all right.
0:19:18 > 0:19:19So the abortion you had.
0:19:19 > 0:19:21It was his baby?
0:19:22 > 0:19:23Kayleigh?
0:19:25 > 0:19:26And you never told him?
0:19:26 > 0:19:29- Why do you always think the worst of me?- Did you?
0:19:31 > 0:19:33No.
0:19:33 > 0:19:35So that's why you're doing all this?
0:19:37 > 0:19:39I wanted to make it up to him.
0:19:39 > 0:19:42So why does it matter if Tom's the donor then?
0:19:42 > 0:19:45- Have you seen Tom? - Kayleigh!
0:19:45 > 0:19:46I wouldn't be able to look at it.
0:19:46 > 0:19:48You won't have to.
0:19:48 > 0:19:51Once the baby's born, you'll never see it again.
0:19:51 > 0:19:54- What if I decide to keep it? - You can't.
0:19:54 > 0:19:56Legally, it would be mine. I've looked it up.
0:19:56 > 0:19:59OK, we need to get a few things straight.
0:20:01 > 0:20:02Why didn't you tell me?
0:20:02 > 0:20:06Because I didn't know. She didn't tell me she was pregnant.
0:20:06 > 0:20:09Really? Or is this just another one of your secrets?
0:20:09 > 0:20:11I don't have secrets, not from you.
0:20:11 > 0:20:12What about the smoking?
0:20:12 > 0:20:14How did you know?
0:20:14 > 0:20:17Your clothes stink every time you come back from jogging.
0:20:17 > 0:20:19I am trying to quit! It's just not easy!
0:20:19 > 0:20:22I don't care about that, Lenny. I care about you lying.
0:20:22 > 0:20:24I would never lie about anything that mattered!
0:20:24 > 0:20:25You lied about her!
0:20:25 > 0:20:27When we first met, I told you I'd slept with women
0:20:27 > 0:20:29and I told you about Kayleigh.
0:20:29 > 0:20:32You said it was a one-night stand.
0:20:33 > 0:20:35A few nights.
0:20:35 > 0:20:37It wasn't anything serious.
0:20:37 > 0:20:40Just friends, that happened to sleep together.
0:20:40 > 0:20:42- Do you still fancy her?- No!
0:20:42 > 0:20:44- Don't lie to me. - I'm...
0:20:45 > 0:20:46I'm not.
0:20:48 > 0:20:51I've not looked at another person since I met you.
0:20:51 > 0:20:53I didn't see anyone when I was away.
0:20:53 > 0:20:55Oh, that's not good.
0:20:55 > 0:20:57Actually, it was a bit of a relief.
0:20:57 > 0:20:59This has all been so confusing.
0:20:59 > 0:21:02I'm not surprised. Waking up to find out you're a lesbian?
0:21:02 > 0:21:04That has got to be a bit of a blow.
0:21:04 > 0:21:08I've often wondered how I'd feel if it happened to me.
0:21:08 > 0:21:11It does get quite a few middle-aged women, doesn't it?
0:21:11 > 0:21:12Was it a shock to Lena, too,
0:21:12 > 0:21:15or do you think she'd dabbled before?
0:21:15 > 0:21:16What?
0:21:16 > 0:21:18To be honest, I don't really know what lesbians do.
0:21:18 > 0:21:21Obviously, I know some things are going to be the same,
0:21:21 > 0:21:24but it must be a whole new world.
0:21:24 > 0:21:27What are you going to do about it, now Lena's gone?
0:21:27 > 0:21:30What am I going to do about what?
0:21:30 > 0:21:31You know, the other.
0:21:32 > 0:21:34I only ask because a patient the other day told me about
0:21:34 > 0:21:36this new gay bar that's opened.
0:21:36 > 0:21:42I could give you address if you need to, you know, scratch an itch.
0:21:42 > 0:21:44- Valerie! - You don't mind me asking?
0:21:44 > 0:21:46Actually, I do.
0:21:46 > 0:21:48I'm only trying to help.
0:21:48 > 0:21:50You have no idea how bad this is, do you?
0:21:50 > 0:21:52But that's all right, isn't it?
0:21:52 > 0:21:54As long my sad little story gives you a cheap thrill!
0:21:54 > 0:21:56I don't think it's sad.
0:21:56 > 0:21:58I think what you're doing is wonderful.
0:21:58 > 0:22:01And it is not some inspirational, personal epiphany either!
0:22:01 > 0:22:05Can't you see that this is destroying me?!
0:22:05 > 0:22:08I can't think about Lena without feeling the pain I've caused her.
0:22:08 > 0:22:09Obviously.
0:22:09 > 0:22:13She is a real person and I care about her.
0:22:13 > 0:22:15- And I care for you. - No, you don't, Valerie!
0:22:15 > 0:22:17The only person you care about is yourself.
0:22:17 > 0:22:20I'm going back to work.
0:22:20 > 0:22:21Don't follow me!
0:22:26 > 0:22:29I'm sorry about Kayleigh. She's just a bit...
0:22:29 > 0:22:31confused.
0:22:31 > 0:22:33What made you think she was suitable?
0:22:33 > 0:22:35Because I've known her my whole life.
0:22:35 > 0:22:38Even when we broke up, she was like my best mate.
0:22:38 > 0:22:40At least, I thought she was.
0:22:40 > 0:22:43Look, at least you found out how risky it can be
0:22:43 > 0:22:44before it's too late.
0:22:44 > 0:22:47Right. We are going to use an agency.
0:22:47 > 0:22:49The American one.
0:22:49 > 0:22:51- It would be safer. - They cost a fortune.
0:22:52 > 0:22:53UK agencies don't.
0:22:53 > 0:22:56We were told they aren't taking on any new parents anyway.
0:22:56 > 0:22:59- They haven't got enough surrogates. - We've done a lot of research.
0:22:59 > 0:23:01There are online surrogacy groups.
0:23:01 > 0:23:02Are you serious?
0:23:02 > 0:23:04Well, at least have a think about it.
0:23:04 > 0:23:07I could get one of our doctors to talk you through it, if you like?
0:23:07 > 0:23:09It couldn't hurt.
0:23:09 > 0:23:11Then you'll have all the facts.
0:23:11 > 0:23:12Fine.
0:23:12 > 0:23:14Is she coming in?
0:23:16 > 0:23:18I don't know.
0:23:19 > 0:23:20What are you doing?
0:23:20 > 0:23:23I have to find out if the baby was really mine.
0:23:28 > 0:23:30And I will have the chicken sandwich.
0:23:32 > 0:23:35No, sorry, wait, I'll have the soup.
0:23:35 > 0:23:36Sorry, no, the chicken...
0:23:36 > 0:23:38Or, maybe the...
0:23:38 > 0:23:41Yeah, definitely chicken sandwich.
0:23:41 > 0:23:42Sorry.
0:23:44 > 0:23:46I can never decide.
0:23:48 > 0:23:50Sid.
0:23:50 > 0:23:52- You need to get a grip. - Sorry.
0:23:52 > 0:23:55You're bright, you're young, people like you.
0:23:57 > 0:24:00For some reason, you don't have any confidence.
0:24:00 > 0:24:01I know.
0:24:01 > 0:24:03The only thing stopping you is you.
0:24:05 > 0:24:07It's true.
0:24:07 > 0:24:10You know, I got so paranoid, I tried to get another job.
0:24:11 > 0:24:12What?
0:24:12 > 0:24:15It's OK, I didn't get it.
0:24:15 > 0:24:16Complete disaster.
0:24:16 > 0:24:17Good.
0:24:19 > 0:24:20What?
0:24:21 > 0:24:25We don't want to lose you. Can you not understand that?
0:24:27 > 0:24:29I guess.
0:24:29 > 0:24:32You get so nervous you can't see the woods for the trees.
0:24:32 > 0:24:34When are you going to learn to calm down?
0:24:41 > 0:24:43Didn't have the guts to tell you.
0:24:43 > 0:24:44Why?
0:24:44 > 0:24:47- I knew you weren't serious about me. - You weren't serious about me.
0:24:47 > 0:24:50And when I did get up the guts to tell you, it was too late.
0:24:50 > 0:24:52Why?
0:24:52 > 0:24:54That's the night you told me you were gay.
0:24:54 > 0:24:55Like I was supposed to be happy for you.
0:24:55 > 0:24:57You still should have told me!
0:24:57 > 0:25:00I could hardly speak to you.
0:25:00 > 0:25:02And after I got rid of it, there didn't seem much point.
0:25:02 > 0:25:04All these years.
0:25:05 > 0:25:08The longer it went on, the harder it was.
0:25:10 > 0:25:13Is that why you wanted to be our surrogate?
0:25:13 > 0:25:14I still can be.
0:25:14 > 0:25:16Are you serious?
0:25:16 > 0:25:18- Please, I know I've made a mess of things, but...- No!
0:25:20 > 0:25:25I admit, I was very harsh on you when John died.
0:25:25 > 0:25:26You bit my head off.
0:25:26 > 0:25:28Yeah, I was in a very bad place.
0:25:30 > 0:25:31Yeah, you were.
0:25:31 > 0:25:35But I pulled myself together, which is exactly what you've got to do.
0:25:35 > 0:25:36I'm not sure I can.
0:25:38 > 0:25:39Then learn.
0:25:39 > 0:25:42OK, you are a good doctor, Sid.
0:25:42 > 0:25:43Trust yourself.
0:25:43 > 0:25:45And if you're worried about something, come and speak to me,
0:25:45 > 0:25:47or speak to Mrs Tembe or Zara.
0:25:47 > 0:25:49OK.
0:25:49 > 0:25:51I can't believe you went to Valerie.
0:25:51 > 0:25:53Why would you believe anything she says?
0:25:53 > 0:25:55- Well, I was desperate. - Well, you've no need to be.
0:25:55 > 0:25:57Why can't you see that?
0:26:00 > 0:26:03We thought this might help.
0:26:04 > 0:26:06It should work.
0:26:06 > 0:26:08But you're going to have to do the heavy lifting.
0:26:08 > 0:26:10Otherwise, there's no point.
0:26:14 > 0:26:16Did you actually think this would work?
0:26:16 > 0:26:18It might have.
0:26:18 > 0:26:19- Kayleigh.- Look, I figured we'd do it a few times,
0:26:19 > 0:26:22he'd remember how good we were back then and we'd get back together.
0:26:22 > 0:26:23You are kidding me?
0:26:23 > 0:26:26Why not? He's changed his mind once.
0:26:26 > 0:26:27What planet do you live on?
0:26:30 > 0:26:32Can we really afford an American agency?
0:26:32 > 0:26:33We can't afford not to.
0:26:35 > 0:26:36I'm really sorry about her.
0:26:36 > 0:26:38You should be.
0:26:40 > 0:26:42I don't know what you see in me.
0:26:43 > 0:26:44A very sexy man?
0:26:46 > 0:26:47And a wonderful father.
0:26:51 > 0:26:53You're still in love with him, aren't you?
0:26:53 > 0:26:55I wouldn't mind if his boyfriend wasn't such
0:26:55 > 0:26:56- a total minger.- What?
0:26:56 > 0:26:58I've seen better looking dogs.
0:26:58 > 0:27:00Unbelievable.
0:27:00 > 0:27:01What? What did I say?
0:27:04 > 0:27:07So he's looking into the positivity course info.
0:27:07 > 0:27:08Good.
0:27:08 > 0:27:10I'm not convinced how much good it will do.
0:27:10 > 0:27:13Oh, no, it is an excellent scheme. I am sure he will be fine.
0:27:13 > 0:27:15Maybe.
0:27:15 > 0:27:18Still leaves the elephant in the room.
0:27:18 > 0:27:21- Yes. - She's gone way too far this time.
0:27:21 > 0:27:24What on Earth are we going to do with Miss Pitman?
0:27:31 > 0:27:32Horleywood Haven.
0:27:35 > 0:27:38You're over there, pitch nine, by the facilities block.
0:27:38 > 0:27:42Where shall we put this tent? North-south or east-west?
0:27:42 > 0:27:45I don't think it particularly matters.
0:27:45 > 0:27:47What do you think? It's all part of my new image.
0:27:47 > 0:27:49Well, you have failed.
0:27:49 > 0:27:50How?
0:27:50 > 0:27:53I thought you were supposed to be my friend.
