0:00:27 > 0:00:29MUSIC: Things Can Only Get Better by D:Ream

0:00:35 > 0:00:38Sorry, can we stop? Just...just for a bit.

0:00:52 > 0:00:55SHE BREATHES HARD

0:00:57 > 0:00:59- Again?!- Yeah.

0:00:59 > 0:01:01Same thing? GULP!

0:01:03 > 0:01:05Ooh!

0:01:05 > 0:01:07Ooh.

0:01:13 > 0:01:14BOTH: Shouldn't you be at...?

0:01:14 > 0:01:17- No.- I've got annual leave.

0:01:17 > 0:01:19Mrs Tembe says you've got to use it or lose it, so...

0:01:19 > 0:01:22So, have you got plans for your day off?

0:01:22 > 0:01:24Oh, yeah! Loads!

0:01:24 > 0:01:26No, nothing. You?

0:01:26 > 0:01:28Breakfast, obviously.

0:01:28 > 0:01:30Yeah. I should get me some of that.

0:01:33 > 0:01:36And then, it's just a whole day of nothing. Hm!

0:01:36 > 0:01:38I quite like having a whole day to myself, just me.

0:01:38 > 0:01:40Yeah, me, too.

0:01:46 > 0:01:47Can we go?

0:01:47 > 0:01:49In a minute.

0:01:49 > 0:01:50I'm sorry.

0:01:50 > 0:01:53Hey. It's not your fault.

0:01:53 > 0:01:56Dad, there's a health centre just around the corner.

0:01:56 > 0:01:57I don't need a doctor!

0:01:57 > 0:02:00- You sure? - It's not going to help, is it?

0:02:01 > 0:02:04I just need a few moments and then we can get going again.

0:02:07 > 0:02:08HE SIGHS Some road trip.

0:02:08 > 0:02:09I'm sorry, all right?!

0:02:09 > 0:02:13If you saw a doctor, he could give you something stronger.

0:02:13 > 0:02:16There is nothing they can do!

0:02:16 > 0:02:18I just have to get through this and then we can get going again.

0:02:18 > 0:02:21We can't drive if you're sick all the time!

0:02:23 > 0:02:24Where is this place?

0:02:24 > 0:02:26It's called The Mill.

0:02:31 > 0:02:33Mm.

0:02:44 > 0:02:47MRS TEMBE HUMS "ALL THINGS BRIGHT AND BEAUTIFUL"

0:02:47 > 0:02:50Ah! Bills, bills and more bills!

0:02:50 > 0:02:54- Morning.- Ah! Good morning, Dr Reid!

0:02:56 > 0:02:58What's she been smoking?

0:02:58 > 0:03:01Mrs Tembe doesn't smoke. That wouldn't really be appropriate.

0:03:01 > 0:03:03Not with her being the manager of a health centre.

0:03:03 > 0:03:07Well, something's pressed her happy button.

0:03:07 > 0:03:11I don't think we should speculate on the private lives of our colleagues.

0:03:11 > 0:03:13You are no fun any more, Valerie.

0:03:13 > 0:03:15Information-sharing is a key skill set

0:03:15 > 0:03:19for any halfway-decent receptionist, isn't that right, Dr Reid?

0:03:19 > 0:03:22- Well, you would know, Karen.- Yes.

0:03:22 > 0:03:24It is your duty to share.

0:03:24 > 0:03:26I don't know anything.

0:03:26 > 0:03:27Valerie...?

0:03:27 > 0:03:29SHE SIGHS

0:03:29 > 0:03:30Well...

0:03:33 > 0:03:35- ..there is a man.- Ooh!

0:03:35 > 0:03:37- Morning, everyone.- Morning, Daniel.

0:03:37 > 0:03:39Can we do something about the caravan?

0:03:39 > 0:03:41It's taking up half the car park.

0:03:42 > 0:03:45Ooooooooooooooo!

0:03:45 > 0:03:50So...it's just me and you. What do you think?

0:03:50 > 0:03:54Unfortunately, Karen, I don't think it's any of our business.

0:04:01 > 0:04:04- Washing up? You must be bored.- No!

0:04:04 > 0:04:05Yeah. Huh! A bit.

0:04:05 > 0:04:08- So, how's your day off?- So-so.

0:04:08 > 0:04:09Yeah.

0:04:12 > 0:04:16So, er...you heard anything from Tyler?

0:04:16 > 0:04:18- Why would you ask that?- Sorry!

0:04:19 > 0:04:22No, I haven't heard anything from Tyler.

0:04:22 > 0:04:25Well, is that good?

0:04:25 > 0:04:27- Yeah!- Good!

0:04:27 > 0:04:29- Moving on.- Absolutely.

0:04:29 > 0:04:31Bruised, but positive.

0:04:31 > 0:04:34- Yeah, something like that.- Hm.

0:04:34 > 0:04:37- What about you? - Yeah, all good. All positivity.

0:04:37 > 0:04:40That's what I learnt yesterday...eventually.

0:04:40 > 0:04:43- You've got to stay positive. - You've got to try.

0:04:43 > 0:04:47Completely. Whatever's out there, whatever life brings,

0:04:47 > 0:04:51I'm ready. Ready to grasp it with both...hands.

0:04:51 > 0:04:53Ohhhhhh!

0:04:55 > 0:04:56Mr Merton?

0:04:58 > 0:05:01What's the motorhome still doing here? It's taking up three spaces.

0:05:01 > 0:05:03Is there an outside tap?

0:05:03 > 0:05:06Or we could thread the hose through the window into the gents' toilet.

0:05:06 > 0:05:08- What do you think? - There's a tap around the back.

0:05:08 > 0:05:11- It's a bit stiff, but you'll probably be OK.- Cheers, Val!

0:05:13 > 0:05:17They're not camping. That van thing is their home.

0:05:17 > 0:05:20- What, they live in it full-time? - Starting a new adventure.

0:05:20 > 0:05:23Going where the road takes them. Nothing to tie them down!

0:05:23 > 0:05:26- Sounds awful.- Actually, they've registered as temporary patients.

0:05:26 > 0:05:28You're seeing Mrs Shawcross this afternoon.

0:05:31 > 0:05:33Come through, Mr Merton.

0:05:33 > 0:05:34Are you sure you don't mind?

0:05:34 > 0:05:38I was going to have yesterday's chilli and now you're buying me lunch. What's to mind?

0:05:38 > 0:05:41- Um...it was the day before.- What?

0:05:41 > 0:05:43The chilli. It was left over from Tuesday.

0:05:43 > 0:05:46- And...?- Well, I just thought, you know, if you're not doing anything

0:05:46 > 0:05:48or you haven't got anyone better to have lunch with...

0:05:48 > 0:05:49Sid, just shut up about it. Shall we order?

0:05:49 > 0:05:52BANG ON WINDOW

0:05:52 > 0:05:54- I think someone's... - AYESHA CHUCKLES

0:05:54 > 0:05:55- Who's she?- It's Tia.

0:05:55 > 0:05:58She's a total babe. We did nursing college together.

0:05:58 > 0:06:01You'll like her, just trust me, brace yourself.

0:06:01 > 0:06:03- Tia!- Ayesha! So long!

0:06:03 > 0:06:07I thought it was you! I'm, like, mad woman waving through the window!

0:06:07 > 0:06:11- How are you doing?- Oh, you know me, always busy, always naughty.

0:06:11 > 0:06:14And talking of naughtiness...

0:06:14 > 0:06:18- Um...Sid, this is Tia, Tia, this is Sid!- Nice to meet you.

0:06:18 > 0:06:21Right, well, um...I think I'll, er...leave you two to it, then.

0:06:21 > 0:06:24- Where's he going?- Well, I just thought you two could catch up.

0:06:24 > 0:06:27I mean, I've got that chilli in the fridge.

0:06:27 > 0:06:29Oh, no, no, no. You stay, cutie pie.

0:06:29 > 0:06:33- Er...I'm not sure if... - I think you should stay.

0:06:33 > 0:06:35OK.

0:06:40 > 0:06:44- KNOCK AT DOOR - Come in. Mrs Shawcross.- Actually...

0:06:44 > 0:06:46- Oh. I thought I was seeing your wife.- You are.

0:06:46 > 0:06:48I mean, er...she's the one that's ill.

0:06:52 > 0:06:53- Where is she?- In the van.

0:06:55 > 0:06:57Sorry about the van, by the way.

0:06:57 > 0:06:59We'll be on our way just as soon as we've, er...

0:06:59 > 0:07:02- I gather it's your home. - Yeah, the journey of a lifetime.

0:07:03 > 0:07:06Finn, my son, wasn't really fitting in at school.

0:07:08 > 0:07:10A bit of bullying, you know.

0:07:10 > 0:07:12So I thought, why not?

0:07:12 > 0:07:17Sold Mum's house, bought that little motorhome and hit the road.

0:07:17 > 0:07:19That was on Monday.

0:07:19 > 0:07:21Oh. So, your journey of a lifetime has lasted three days?

0:07:21 > 0:07:24Hm. Turns out Jess gets travel sick.

0:07:24 > 0:07:26Right. There's plenty of stuff you can find over the counter.

0:07:26 > 0:07:28We've tried all that.

0:07:28 > 0:07:31Tablets, patches, homeopathy, acupressure bands.

0:07:31 > 0:07:32Every respectable medicine

0:07:32 > 0:07:35and every quack remedy under the sun, we've tried it.

0:07:35 > 0:07:37OK. Well, perhaps I should see her.

0:07:37 > 0:07:40You couldn't come out, could you?

0:07:40 > 0:07:42Er...I have other patients.

0:07:42 > 0:07:44Easiest house call ever. We're just...

0:07:44 > 0:07:47Yeah, I know where you are.

0:07:47 > 0:07:49She's a bit queasy still.

0:07:49 > 0:07:51And, er...dizzy.

0:07:51 > 0:07:53At least that's what she says.

0:07:53 > 0:07:55You think it's psychosomatic?

0:07:55 > 0:07:57I think you should see her.

0:07:57 > 0:07:59Just in case.

0:08:05 > 0:08:06You're not together, are you?

0:08:06 > 0:08:09No. We just live in the same house.

0:08:09 > 0:08:13Housemates? With benefits?

0:08:13 > 0:08:15- T!- I would.

0:08:15 > 0:08:17We work together.

0:08:17 > 0:08:20- Doctor!- Oh, yeah, a junior doctor.

0:08:20 > 0:08:23Junior doctors grow up to be senior doctors.

0:08:23 > 0:08:27Yeah, well, this one's got a lot of growing up to do.

0:08:27 > 0:08:29He's cute. Is he available?

0:08:29 > 0:08:32I don't know. Let's ask him, shall we?

0:08:32 > 0:08:34Sid, are you available?

0:08:34 > 0:08:37Er... Um... Um...

0:08:37 > 0:08:40Excuse me, we're ready to order. Huh!

0:08:47 > 0:08:49Mind out the way, let the doctor in.

0:08:49 > 0:08:52- Hi, there.- She's not very well.

0:08:52 > 0:08:54OK. Well, I'll go in and see her.

0:08:54 > 0:08:57- Mrs Shawcross? Dr Granger. Can I come in?- Yeah.

0:08:59 > 0:09:01We'll be outside if you need us.

0:09:04 > 0:09:06Let's have a look.

0:09:15 > 0:09:18Do you think I should go and speak to him?

0:09:18 > 0:09:20I don't know if that's professional, or not professional.

0:09:22 > 0:09:24I think he needs someone to talk to.

0:09:26 > 0:09:29Oh, er...sorry. Er...Sister Hanif...?

0:09:30 > 0:09:32I, er...

0:09:33 > 0:09:36Well, I was just thinking what a lovely day...it is.

0:09:40 > 0:09:42See, that's not normal, even for Mrs Tembe.

0:09:42 > 0:09:44- Well...- Ruhma, what's going on?

0:09:44 > 0:09:46I have absolutely no idea.

0:09:46 > 0:09:49It's a man, there's a man involved.

0:09:49 > 0:09:50Oh!

0:09:50 > 0:09:52And...?

0:09:52 > 0:09:55I'm probably wrong...

0:09:56 > 0:09:58And it's not for me to say.

0:09:58 > 0:10:02Flaming 'eck! What's the matter with everybody?!

0:10:02 > 0:10:05- Heston would tell us. - Heston's in Tuscany.

0:10:05 > 0:10:06THEY GROAN

0:10:06 > 0:10:08KAREN LAUGHS

0:10:08 > 0:10:10You're back on the team!

0:10:10 > 0:10:14No, no, no. I am simply displaying concern for a colleague's welfare.

0:10:14 > 0:10:18Oh, well, that's good because everyone else is being really boring.

0:10:20 > 0:10:22So, how do you feel right now?

0:10:22 > 0:10:25Stupid. I feel stupid!

0:10:25 > 0:10:28- I'm wasting your time. - No, not at all.

0:10:28 > 0:10:31I gather you get travel sick.

0:10:31 > 0:10:33It's just this van.

0:10:33 > 0:10:36It's really high up off the ground and it makes me dizzy.

0:10:36 > 0:10:38It's different.

0:10:39 > 0:10:40I'll be fine once I get used to it.

0:10:40 > 0:10:44- Yeah. And you've never had this before?- No.

0:10:45 > 0:10:47- It's just this trip.- Stressful?

0:10:47 > 0:10:49Only because of this.

0:10:49 > 0:10:52- And nothing else is worrying you? - Like what?

0:10:53 > 0:10:55Well, uprooting your family can be stressful,

0:10:55 > 0:10:58taking your child out of school. These are some big decisions.

0:10:58 > 0:11:00Finn is fine. I'm fine.

0:11:01 > 0:11:03It's killing Mark.

0:11:03 > 0:11:05Me being sick all the time.

0:11:09 > 0:11:12He tries to convince himself this is all about Finn.

0:11:12 > 0:11:14Getting him out of school,

0:11:14 > 0:11:17freeing him from the shackles of mainstream education.

0:11:19 > 0:11:23When I met Mark, he was living at his mum's.

0:11:24 > 0:11:25And he painted.

0:11:25 > 0:11:27It was beautiful.

0:11:28 > 0:11:30He was beautiful.

0:11:30 > 0:11:32Not sure I understand.

0:11:32 > 0:11:34He needs that freedom again.

0:11:36 > 0:11:39We were constraining him, me and Finn.

0:11:39 > 0:11:43It's not good. Not good for his mental health.

0:11:43 > 0:11:46- He needs this trip. - The open road.- Exactly.

0:11:46 > 0:11:49And what does he get? Me retching in one lay-by after another!

0:11:49 > 0:11:50Mrs Shawcross...

0:11:50 > 0:11:52Um...you should go. I'm not ill!

0:11:52 > 0:11:54I'm not at all.

0:11:54 > 0:11:56OK. All right. Take a seat. That's it.

0:11:56 > 0:11:58Take some deep breaths.

0:11:58 > 0:12:00- I'm sorry.- It's all right.

0:12:00 > 0:12:02I'll do a proper examination, OK?

0:12:15 > 0:12:18- Hello.- Hello.

0:12:18 > 0:12:20Look, you can tell me to mind my own business if you want,

0:12:20 > 0:12:23but I was just in there,

0:12:23 > 0:12:26looking out of the window, admiring the view,

0:12:26 > 0:12:28when you came and sat down and starting drawing.

0:12:28 > 0:12:31- It's private.- I know, I know.

0:12:31 > 0:12:33That's why you can tell me to mind my own business.

0:12:35 > 0:12:37Can I see?

0:12:38 > 0:12:40Ooh!

0:12:40 > 0:12:46Oh! It's very, er...very powerful.

0:12:49 > 0:12:51Oh! Now, I like this one.

0:12:51 > 0:12:53That's Switzerland. That's where we're going.

0:12:53 > 0:12:55I've always wanted to go to Switzerland.

0:12:56 > 0:12:58I'm not supposed to know, it's a secret.

0:12:58 > 0:13:00What is?

0:13:02 > 0:13:03She's dying.

0:13:05 > 0:13:07They don't know that I know.

0:13:08 > 0:13:10It's meant to be our big adventure.

0:13:10 > 0:13:13We're going to see all sorts of places together before we get there.

0:13:15 > 0:13:17It's what she wants.

0:13:18 > 0:13:20- Like a bucket list?- I don't know.

0:13:22 > 0:13:23But she's too sick.

0:13:25 > 0:13:27We can't go anywhere because it hurts too much.

0:13:42 > 0:13:45Yep, I think you've got an infection of the inner ear.

0:13:45 > 0:13:48That would explain the ringing, the headaches, the nausea.

0:13:48 > 0:13:50And, of course, it's affecting your sense of balance.

0:13:50 > 0:13:52It's not travel sickness?

0:13:52 > 0:13:54No, it's most likely brought on by the infection.

0:13:54 > 0:13:56So, there is actually something wrong with me?

0:13:56 > 0:14:00Nothing serious, and I can prescribe something to help prevent the sickness.

0:14:02 > 0:14:04- We've tried everything. - Well, it's most likely viral,

0:14:04 > 0:14:08so antibiotics are no good. It should clear up by itself.

0:14:08 > 0:14:11If I were you, I'd find somewhere to park up for a week or two

0:14:11 > 0:14:13and then you should be on your way. Where are you off to?

0:14:13 > 0:14:16France and Switzerland. Mark's got a friend out there.

0:14:16 > 0:14:19And then maybe Italy and across to Greece.

0:14:19 > 0:14:21Ah! OK. Well, I can recommend Crete.

0:14:21 > 0:14:23I'll put it on the list.

0:14:27 > 0:14:31That's me, and I've sent myself a text from you, so now I've got you.

0:14:31 > 0:14:35- And let's go into your calendar... - No, no, no, no, I can do that.

0:14:35 > 0:14:40That's you and me at 8:00 at The Foxglove.

0:14:40 > 0:14:42- Nice phone.- Thanks.

0:14:42 > 0:14:45- All sorted for tonight?- Er... Um...

0:14:45 > 0:14:50Sid's going to get me very drunk on some very expensive champagne.

0:14:50 > 0:14:52And who knows where we'll end up?

0:14:52 > 0:14:54You might need earplugs.

0:14:54 > 0:14:58No, no, no, it's just a drink. Do you want to join us, or...?

0:15:00 > 0:15:01I've got plans.

0:15:11 > 0:15:13Labyrinthitis, apparently.

0:15:13 > 0:15:16It's an infection of the inner ear.

0:15:18 > 0:15:20So, it's...it's not...?

0:15:20 > 0:15:22- Not what?- Nothing.

0:15:24 > 0:15:26You never really wanted this.

0:15:27 > 0:15:29I thought... Well, I wondered if...

0:15:29 > 0:15:31You thought I was making this up?

0:15:31 > 0:15:34I thought it might be psychosomatic maybe.

0:15:37 > 0:15:40- What did the doctor say? - It's nothing.

0:15:40 > 0:15:44- Well, actually...- An infection.

0:15:44 > 0:15:46I can't travel for a while.

0:15:46 > 0:15:48- What?- But you have to!

0:15:48 > 0:15:50- You can't travel? - Just for a couple of weeks.

0:15:50 > 0:15:52We can park up somewhere.

0:15:52 > 0:15:54Does it hurt?

0:15:54 > 0:15:56No. No, I'm fine.

0:15:56 > 0:15:58Yeah.

0:15:58 > 0:16:01Maybe a bit of rest, eh?

0:16:01 > 0:16:03What about Switzerland?

0:16:03 > 0:16:06- We'll see. - Everything's going to be fine.

0:16:12 > 0:16:14TEXT ALERT

0:16:14 > 0:16:15Is it Tia?

0:16:15 > 0:16:17- Show me! - It's private.

0:16:17 > 0:16:19She's my friend...

0:16:19 > 0:16:23Yeah, and now she's my friend too, all right? So it's private.

0:16:24 > 0:16:28- What does she say?- Nothing. - Yeah, right(!)

0:16:29 > 0:16:34She's very...forward, isn't she?

0:16:34 > 0:16:36- Is she sexting you?!- No!

0:16:36 > 0:16:40Well, not really. But she has got a forceful personality.

0:16:40 > 0:16:42Yeah, and a very dirty mind!

0:16:42 > 0:16:43Mm.

0:16:45 > 0:16:49- Sid, do you need help?- No!

0:16:49 > 0:16:52Do you want me to write your sex talk for you?

0:16:52 > 0:16:55I can do my own...stuff, actually.

0:16:55 > 0:16:56Thank you very much.

0:16:58 > 0:17:01I can't do it with you watching me, can I?

0:17:04 > 0:17:06- I'll do it later.- Spoilsport!

0:17:06 > 0:17:09TEXT ALERT

0:17:09 > 0:17:11Are you playing hard to get?

0:17:11 > 0:17:12It might not be her this time.

0:17:19 > 0:17:20So...?

0:17:23 > 0:17:25- What did you say?- Nothing!

0:17:25 > 0:17:28Just, you know, "looking forward to seeing you tonight,"

0:17:28 > 0:17:30- sort of thing- Good!

0:17:30 > 0:17:31Good!

0:17:31 > 0:17:32Like you said this morning,

0:17:32 > 0:17:35it's all about getting back out there and staying positive.

0:17:42 > 0:17:43Excuse me.

0:17:48 > 0:17:50HE COUGHS

0:17:50 > 0:17:52Erm, excuse me.

0:17:55 > 0:17:58Oi! What do you think you're playing at?!

0:18:03 > 0:18:05- I've missed that big gob of yours! - Karl!

0:18:12 > 0:18:14I'm so glad you came back.

0:18:14 > 0:18:16- Doctor?- You still here? It's Finn, isn't it?

0:18:16 > 0:18:18Yeah, we've got a flat tyre.

0:18:18 > 0:18:20- Oh, right.- We're not going anywhere. Well, not yet.

0:18:20 > 0:18:24So, you can go and see my mum again. Do it properly this time.

0:18:24 > 0:18:27- OK, what do you think I got wrong? - She needs medicine. Analgesics.

0:18:27 > 0:18:33- I've looked it up.- She's not in pain, Finn.- She's being brave!- OK.

0:18:33 > 0:18:36She needs painkillers, or she won't be able to go anywhere!

0:18:36 > 0:18:37You're useless!

0:18:41 > 0:18:47- Poor boy.- How do you mean? - He's being so brave.- About what?

0:18:47 > 0:18:52Well, I don't like to discuss patients' confidential medical records in public...

0:18:52 > 0:18:54It's just me, Valerie. You can tell me.

0:18:54 > 0:18:58Especially if it's in the best interests of the patient.

0:19:04 > 0:19:05Finn?

0:19:08 > 0:19:11- Was this you?- We're not leaving. Not until the doctor helps her.

0:19:11 > 0:19:14We're leaving as soon as I've got this tyre pumped up.

0:19:14 > 0:19:18You've got some explaining to do. Finn!

0:19:18 > 0:19:19Whoa, Finn.

0:19:19 > 0:19:23- What's the knife for?- What's going on?- What are you doing?!

0:19:23 > 0:19:25- Give it back!- Give it back!

0:19:25 > 0:19:28No! I think there's a few misunderstandings that need

0:19:28 > 0:19:29- cleared up, OK?- Finn?

0:19:29 > 0:19:31Based on my experiences,

0:19:31 > 0:19:35I think it's best if you're completely honest about cancer.

0:19:35 > 0:19:41- Cancer?- What cancer?- I know, all right?! I've known for ages!- Finn!

0:19:45 > 0:19:47Why didn't you call me?

0:19:47 > 0:19:48It's a surprise...

0:19:53 > 0:19:56When Eesh said her "baby brother"

0:19:56 > 0:19:58- I always imagined you'd be like...- Not so much.

0:19:58 > 0:20:03- Sid, Karl. Karl, Sid. Sid's a mate. He lives here.- All right?- Yeah.

0:20:03 > 0:20:07- Heard a lot about you. - So, what are you doing here?

0:20:07 > 0:20:12- Well, erm...- How's Abbie? - Yeah, great. She's great.

0:20:12 > 0:20:16- She sends her love. - Lance-Corporal Lee!

0:20:18 > 0:20:20Lance-Corporal looks like he's about to drop.

0:20:20 > 0:20:22- Maybe he can use our spare room... - No, I'm OK.

0:20:22 > 0:20:25Why aren't you in Germany? How long are you here?

0:20:25 > 0:20:28- Actually, you know what, I could really do with some shut-eye.- Oh.

0:20:28 > 0:20:31- OK.- Where's that spare room? - I'll show you.

0:20:33 > 0:20:35KARL LAUGHS

0:20:37 > 0:20:39TEXT ALERT

0:20:46 > 0:20:47BANGING ON DOOR

0:20:48 > 0:20:50The keys are inside.

0:20:50 > 0:20:54- Finn, can you open the door for us? - He's very upset.

0:20:56 > 0:20:57He's trying to be brave, but...

0:20:57 > 0:21:01Valerie, I think it would be better if you went back inside, to reception.

0:21:01 > 0:21:04Quite right. It's probably chaos in there without me.

0:21:04 > 0:21:10- Look, this is a stupid question, because I just examined you, but do you have cancer?- No.

0:21:10 > 0:21:16- And your trip, your destination. Why Switzerland, exactly?- The Alps.

0:21:16 > 0:21:18And the lakes.

0:21:18 > 0:21:20I've got a mate in Zurich. We haven't even decided if we're

0:21:20 > 0:21:22definitely going yet.

0:21:22 > 0:21:24He's a smart kid, he's got an active imagination.

0:21:24 > 0:21:30- What's the real purpose for the trip?- It's all for him!

0:21:30 > 0:21:35That school was... Some of the boys were really cruel.

0:21:35 > 0:21:37'Did you talk to Finn about it?'

0:21:37 > 0:21:41'Well, sort of. You wanted this.'

0:21:41 > 0:21:43- No!- It was, Mark!

0:21:43 > 0:21:44It was all your idea.

0:21:46 > 0:21:48I thought you changed your mind.

0:21:48 > 0:21:51- I thought you wanted this.- I do. Honestly, I do.

0:21:51 > 0:21:54- But...- Finn, I think it's time you told your parents what you

0:21:54 > 0:21:56think this is all about.

0:21:56 > 0:22:01- Cancer?- I thought you were dying. - Where did that come from?

0:22:01 > 0:22:05He's put two and two together, he's taken your illness

0:22:05 > 0:22:08and the sudden road trip, and he's come up with...

0:22:08 > 0:22:10Euthanasia.

0:22:10 > 0:22:12There's a clinic in Switzerland...

0:22:17 > 0:22:18She's like a new woman.

0:22:18 > 0:22:22- It's a new wig.- It is! How come I didn't notice that?

0:22:22 > 0:22:24Well, then there's definitely something going on.

0:22:24 > 0:22:27If Valerie is being all professional, and Ruhma won't tell..

0:22:27 > 0:22:30Maybe we should mind our own business and go back to work.

0:22:30 > 0:22:34No, don't give up! We'll just ask her.

0:22:34 > 0:22:36Could I have an appointment for Mrs Jackson in

0:22:36 > 0:22:37a fortnight's time please?

0:22:37 > 0:22:40- Yes, of course, you can.- Oh, I am so sorry, Dr Reid.

0:22:40 > 0:22:42No, no, no, my fault.

0:22:42 > 0:22:46Erm, Karen and I were just saying how lovely your hair's looking.

0:22:46 > 0:22:48Oh, thank you!

0:22:51 > 0:22:55- And also...- Also we were saying how we hadn't had a chance for a proper chat, not for ages.

0:22:55 > 0:22:57Oh, no, that is true.

0:22:57 > 0:22:59And it's good to talk, isn't it, you know?

0:22:59 > 0:23:01Share what's going on in our lives.

0:23:01 > 0:23:06- Especially the good things, any big changes.- I completely agree.

0:23:06 > 0:23:09Even the things that we sometimes might think are a bit...

0:23:09 > 0:23:10Private.

0:23:13 > 0:23:14Indeed.

0:23:14 > 0:23:19So, I was thinking a drink after work. Three of us.

0:23:19 > 0:23:21Just to catch up.

0:23:21 > 0:23:22Well, I am afraid...

0:23:22 > 0:23:25DOOR OPENS

0:23:25 > 0:23:27Cheers for that.

0:23:28 > 0:23:33Well, I'm afraid I am hoping to meet up with someone very special

0:23:33 > 0:23:35this evening.

0:23:40 > 0:23:41I knew it.

0:23:41 > 0:23:42THEY GIGGLE

0:23:44 > 0:23:47Talk to him, don't let his mind fill in the gaps.

0:23:49 > 0:23:54- You're definitely not ill? - Not that kind of ill.

0:23:54 > 0:23:56And the motorhome?

0:23:56 > 0:23:57All this...?

0:23:57 > 0:24:02We thought... I thought it would help,

0:24:02 > 0:24:04with school and stuff.

0:24:04 > 0:24:06We were running away?

0:24:06 > 0:24:07Running free.

0:24:09 > 0:24:13- And Switzerland? - Well, yes, if you want.- Is it nice?

0:24:13 > 0:24:18- Lots of fresh air and mountains.- How about Greece? Do you like moussaka?

0:24:18 > 0:24:22We can talk about it. Decide together.

0:24:23 > 0:24:28- Yeah.- Can we go back home?

0:24:30 > 0:24:31If that's what we decide.

0:24:31 > 0:24:35We can't go anywhere for a couple of weeks, anyway.

0:24:35 > 0:24:38- Er...- Don't worry, we'll find somewhere else to park.

0:24:38 > 0:24:40- Good.- Is there a campsite nearby?

0:24:40 > 0:24:43Er... Yes, there's Horleywood Haven, but don't go anywhere near that!

0:24:43 > 0:24:46But there's Maybrook Road, a couple of miles from here.

0:24:49 > 0:24:52- Can you manage that?- Yeah. - That all right with you?

0:24:58 > 0:25:00Oh! Fast asleep already.

0:25:00 > 0:25:02He looked knackered.

0:25:02 > 0:25:03TEXT ALERT

0:25:06 > 0:25:09It's from Tia. "Did I do something wrong?"

0:25:12 > 0:25:15- I bailed.- What? Why?!

0:25:15 > 0:25:19- Well, I thought you might need someone to talk to...- I'm fine.

0:25:19 > 0:25:23And we have a house guest now, so it would be rude to

0:25:23 > 0:25:26- just go out.- What's rude is dumping my mate before you've even been out with her.

0:25:27 > 0:25:33I know. I'm sorry. It was never going to... I wasn't feeling it.

0:25:33 > 0:25:36That's pathetic! What happened to grabbing the future with both hands?

0:25:36 > 0:25:38I am! I mean, I will.

0:25:39 > 0:25:43OK, look, I know she's your mate, and she is stunning.

0:25:43 > 0:25:48It's just... Can you honestly imagine spending half an hour with her without going...

0:25:48 > 0:25:54- ..slightly up the wall?- Not if I'm sober.- Exactly.

0:25:54 > 0:25:57Anyway, it doesn't have to be today, does it? There's no rush.

0:25:57 > 0:26:02- I can grab my future when I'm ready for it, yeah?- OK.

0:26:13 > 0:26:17I was wondering whether perhaps you'd be free for dinner tonight.

0:26:17 > 0:26:19There is something, a subject,

0:26:19 > 0:26:21that I would very much value your opinion.

0:26:21 > 0:26:23Yeah, of course.

0:26:23 > 0:26:26Shak and Alia will be delighted to have the house to themselves.

0:26:26 > 0:26:31- Right, so shall we say seven o'clock at my house? - Yeah, I look forward to it.

0:26:31 > 0:26:35Excellent. Thank you.

0:26:39 > 0:26:40Yes!

0:26:42 > 0:26:45- You think you can come here and tell me...- Dad!

0:26:45 > 0:26:48- This is my business.- And its losing money, am I right?

0:26:48 > 0:26:52- Listen to your son.- Get out!- I'm Emma, it's very nice to meet you.

0:26:52 > 0:26:55- I've heard a lot about you - Me, too, about you.

0:26:55 > 0:26:57If they won't take care of him, I will!

0:26:57 > 0:26:59You're in a police station, you've been charged with assault.

0:26:59 > 0:27:02So maybe just cut back on the threatening behaviour.

0:27:02 > 0:27:04Look, just get off my case, will you?
