0:00:36 > 0:00:38Dad? Lunch!

0:00:43 > 0:00:45Here you go.

0:00:45 > 0:00:47I've got college. Cheers, Leyton.

0:00:51 > 0:00:53Where are the Paracetamol?

0:00:53 > 0:00:55Try the drawer.

0:00:59 > 0:01:03Um... Have you thought any more about the cricket?

0:01:04 > 0:01:05Remind me.

0:01:07 > 0:01:10I've told you loads of times. The tour with the club.

0:01:11 > 0:01:13Oh... Yeah.

0:01:15 > 0:01:18It's only a week, but it'll be awesome.

0:01:18 > 0:01:19Jake and Finn are booked.

0:01:20 > 0:01:23They're going to need their opening batsman.

0:01:24 > 0:01:28I really wish I could, Leyton, but you know how things are.

0:01:28 > 0:01:31It's just a deposit, the rest can be paid off later.

0:01:33 > 0:01:34Look...

0:01:34 > 0:01:37I've got these stocks I'm shorting this afternoon and if they do

0:01:37 > 0:01:41the business, well... Great. Fingers crossed, then.

0:01:42 > 0:01:43Ask me again later, yeah?

0:02:08 > 0:02:10KNOCK ON DOOR

0:02:13 > 0:02:14Come in.

0:02:14 > 0:02:17Come on, lunch in the Icon. Sid's buying.

0:02:17 > 0:02:19That's very sweet of you, Ayesha, but...

0:02:19 > 0:02:21But nothing. Hurry up.

0:02:21 > 0:02:23Look, I was just going to go down the high street.

0:02:23 > 0:02:25Have a bit of quiet time.

0:02:25 > 0:02:26I can do quiet.

0:02:26 > 0:02:28Do you want us to bring you something back?

0:02:28 > 0:02:31No, no, it's fine, I'll grab something when I'm out.

0:02:31 > 0:02:32Come on.

0:02:32 > 0:02:35All right. What are you doing tomorrow night?

0:02:35 > 0:02:37I hadn't thought that far ahead, to be honest.

0:02:37 > 0:02:39OK, then book me in. We'll do something.

0:02:39 > 0:02:43You're being very lovely, but nothing really appeals,

0:02:43 > 0:02:44to be honest.

0:02:45 > 0:02:46Come on! OK.

0:02:46 > 0:02:48I'll see you later, yeah?

0:02:48 > 0:02:49Yeah.

0:03:01 > 0:03:03Come on...drop.

0:03:03 > 0:03:05Drop!

0:03:07 > 0:03:09DOORBELL

0:03:13 > 0:03:15KNOCK ON DOOR Not in!

0:03:17 > 0:03:19LOUDER KNOCK

0:03:23 > 0:03:25HE SIGHS

0:03:36 > 0:03:37Yes?

0:03:37 > 0:03:39I work from home, so cut to the chase.

0:03:39 > 0:03:41Hello, Rick.

0:03:41 > 0:03:42It's me.

0:03:42 > 0:03:44Stella.

0:03:46 > 0:03:48Oh, no. How are you?

0:03:48 > 0:03:50It's been a long time.

0:03:52 > 0:03:54I've rehearsed 100 different openings,

0:03:54 > 0:03:57but now that I'm actually standing here...

0:03:59 > 0:04:02I thought about writing or phoning first but in the end,

0:04:02 > 0:04:07I just wanted to see you and talk to you both face-to-face. Both?

0:04:07 > 0:04:08You and Leyton.

0:04:08 > 0:04:11No. This isn't happening.

0:04:11 > 0:04:13Please, can we talk inside?

0:04:13 > 0:04:15Why? Nothing's changed.

0:04:15 > 0:04:17Actually...

0:04:17 > 0:04:18I have.

0:04:18 > 0:04:21You're 18 years too late. I don't believe this.

0:04:21 > 0:04:23I know this is a shock and I know you think it's too late

0:04:23 > 0:04:27and I don't blame you, but I just want to make up for the past.

0:04:27 > 0:04:29Just a little. Please.

0:04:29 > 0:04:31Give me ten minutes, and then I'll leave.

0:04:31 > 0:04:32You'll leave now.

0:04:32 > 0:04:35I could come back later? Maybe when Leyton's back from college?

0:04:35 > 0:04:36What?

0:04:36 > 0:04:39No. Just go!

0:04:39 > 0:04:41Look, I know things are tough for you and everything costs money,

0:04:41 > 0:04:43but I can contribute now.

0:04:44 > 0:04:47At least let me help with his cricket tour.

0:04:48 > 0:04:50How do you know about that?

0:04:50 > 0:04:53Rick, I didn't just turn up.

0:04:54 > 0:04:58I've been following him for months. Well, years.

0:04:59 > 0:05:03On Twitter, Facebook, that sort of thing. Stalking him?

0:05:03 > 0:05:04He's my son.

0:05:05 > 0:05:07Argh!

0:05:09 > 0:05:10Keep away from him. Rick?

0:05:10 > 0:05:12HE CRIES OUT What's the matter?

0:05:14 > 0:05:17Just get out. Are you OK?

0:05:17 > 0:05:18Yes!

0:05:18 > 0:05:21Just leave us alone! SHE SCREAMS

0:05:25 > 0:05:27Right, I'm off. Can I get you anything?

0:05:27 > 0:05:30Ooh, are you going past a newsagent? Yeah, can do.

0:05:30 > 0:05:33Can you get me a scratch card? Lucky Cash.

0:05:33 > 0:05:35Scratch card?!

0:05:35 > 0:05:38Statistically speaking, you're more likely to get run over by the Queen

0:05:38 > 0:05:40than actually hit the jackpot.

0:05:40 > 0:05:43To my knowledge, the Queen has never been involved in an RTA

0:05:43 > 0:05:45and yet there are lottery winners every week.

0:05:45 > 0:05:46And to my knowledge,

0:05:46 > 0:05:49they're called RTCs and you can't seriously expect to win.

0:05:49 > 0:05:52Well, last week, ?10, week before a free go, so...

0:05:52 > 0:05:56Ooh, a "free go"? This is monumental stupidity, Hollins.

0:05:56 > 0:06:00Well, I'll pass your views on to Rob. It's for him.

0:06:00 > 0:06:03Can you make that two, please, Em?

0:06:03 > 0:06:04Ooh, Emma?

0:06:06 > 0:06:08Hey, Em!

0:06:08 > 0:06:10Could you get us a card while you're out as well?

0:06:10 > 0:06:13Yes, I heard you. Two of them. No, it's for Valerie.

0:06:13 > 0:06:15The receptionist.

0:06:15 > 0:06:17Yeah, I know who Valerie is. Sorry.

0:06:17 > 0:06:19So...Lucky Cash?

0:06:19 > 0:06:20No, a leaving card.

0:06:20 > 0:06:22She's leaving.

0:06:22 > 0:06:25Of course, yes. Sorry, I'm with you.

0:06:25 > 0:06:26No problem.

0:06:28 > 0:06:30Light goes through the cornea and the aqueous humour,

0:06:30 > 0:06:34through the doughnut... I mean the pupil, to the lens,

0:06:34 > 0:06:36through the vitreous humour.

0:06:36 > 0:06:40And I'm particularly pleased with my cloves and peppercorns

0:06:40 > 0:06:41which represent...?

0:06:41 > 0:06:42Rods and cones.

0:06:42 > 0:06:45Which are part of the retina. And their function is...?

0:06:45 > 0:06:47To recognise light and colour and where the image received

0:06:47 > 0:06:49from the lens is reversed. Mm-hm.

0:06:49 > 0:06:51And we're missing something here?

0:06:52 > 0:06:54The optic nerve.

0:06:54 > 0:06:56Shak, tie.

0:06:56 > 0:06:59The image continues along the optic nerve to the brain

0:06:59 > 0:07:02where somehow, it's put the correct way round again.

0:07:02 > 0:07:03Excellent.

0:07:03 > 0:07:05Right, take a picture. Your mum should see this.

0:07:07 > 0:07:10Tomorrow, we do the inner ear with gardening implements.

0:07:13 > 0:07:15Oi! That's my eyeball!

0:07:20 > 0:07:21..and scalpel.

0:07:27 > 0:07:30We're closed. Open again at four.

0:07:30 > 0:07:33Oh! Hang on!

0:07:36 > 0:07:39It's Stella, isn't it? Yeah!

0:07:39 > 0:07:41Do you remember me? Karen?

0:07:41 > 0:07:42Yes, of course. How are you?

0:07:42 > 0:07:45I'm good! How are you? OK.

0:07:45 > 0:07:47I took a bit of a tumble, that's all.

0:07:47 > 0:07:49Oh, no. Are you hurt?

0:07:49 > 0:07:50OK, so milk and something for supper.

0:07:50 > 0:07:52It's nothing serious, I'm sure.

0:07:52 > 0:07:54I just thought I'd get it checked out by a doctor.

0:07:54 > 0:07:57We've got a drop-in at four.

0:07:57 > 0:08:01Thank you. Why don't you come in and wait? We can catch up.

0:08:03 > 0:08:05Are you going to be around long?

0:08:05 > 0:08:06Unlikely.

0:08:06 > 0:08:09Gosh, I haven't seen you in ages.

0:08:09 > 0:08:12It was...ages ago.

0:08:12 > 0:08:13Yeah, it was.

0:08:13 > 0:08:16I still see Rick occasionally. And Leyton.

0:08:16 > 0:08:18He's got to be... You know what?

0:08:18 > 0:08:19I think I'll come back later.

0:08:19 > 0:08:22Oh, are you sure?

0:08:22 > 0:08:23It's funny.

0:08:23 > 0:08:25Some people would rather endure horrible pain

0:08:25 > 0:08:27than the company of Karen Hollins.

0:08:27 > 0:08:28I'm going to ignore that.

0:08:28 > 0:08:30Do you know, I nearly didn't recognise her.

0:08:30 > 0:08:34You would not believe what she used to get up to.

0:08:34 > 0:08:35It's always the quiet ones.

0:08:35 > 0:08:38Ooh, she wasn't back then.

0:08:38 > 0:08:40Where are the biscuits?

0:08:40 > 0:08:41There.

0:08:53 > 0:08:55He's all right, isn't he?

0:08:55 > 0:08:56Who?

0:08:56 > 0:08:57Heston.

0:08:57 > 0:08:58He's OK.

0:09:01 > 0:09:03I'm busy.

0:09:03 > 0:09:05It's funny he hasn't got any kids of his own.

0:09:05 > 0:09:06Hilarious.

0:09:07 > 0:09:10Still, he seems to quite like us.

0:09:10 > 0:09:11Yeah, for now.

0:09:12 > 0:09:14Unlike our own dad.

0:09:14 > 0:09:16What do you mean?

0:09:16 > 0:09:18I don't know.

0:09:18 > 0:09:20Exactly. You don't know the first thing about him.

0:09:20 > 0:09:21And you do?

0:09:30 > 0:09:33SCRATCHING

0:09:39 > 0:09:42So...you've already looked him up?

0:09:43 > 0:09:45I never thought you were interested.

0:09:45 > 0:09:47I mean, I've tried to talk to you a few times about it but...

0:09:47 > 0:09:51I know, but I didn't think you'd try and find him without me.

0:09:51 > 0:09:54It's always made me feel sick. It still does.

0:09:54 > 0:09:56Do you remember anything?

0:09:56 > 0:09:58Not really.

0:09:58 > 0:10:01Maybe you should talk to Mum about him? Why me?

0:10:01 > 0:10:03Cos you're better at talking.

0:10:03 > 0:10:06It won't matter. He's one thing she won't discuss.

0:10:06 > 0:10:10She won't talk about any of them. We could be a dynasty.

0:10:10 > 0:10:13This is our family and we know nothing about them.

0:10:13 > 0:10:14There might be good reason.

0:10:14 > 0:10:17They could be bad people and Mum's protecting us?

0:10:17 > 0:10:18Do you think he's in prison?

0:10:18 > 0:10:20Who's gone to prison?

0:10:21 > 0:10:23OK, none of my business.

0:10:23 > 0:10:25I'm going to the stationer's. Do you need anything for school?

0:10:25 > 0:10:27No. No, thank you. OK.

0:10:32 > 0:10:34OK, now, grip my fingers.

0:10:34 > 0:10:38OK... Now rotate your hand at the wrist.

0:10:40 > 0:10:43OK... Now, let me move your hand without your help,

0:10:43 > 0:10:45and let me know when it hurts, OK?

0:10:46 > 0:10:49When was the last time you saw Rick and Leyton?

0:10:49 > 0:10:50Years ago.

0:10:51 > 0:10:54I ran out on them when Leyton was a baby.

0:10:55 > 0:10:57That's tender. OK.

0:10:57 > 0:11:00So it was a bit of a surprise visit?

0:11:00 > 0:11:01You could say that.

0:11:02 > 0:11:04Good to go?

0:11:04 > 0:11:08There's some bruising, but I don't think there's any serious damage.

0:11:08 > 0:11:12Try to avoid using the arm. Don't lift anything heavy.

0:11:12 > 0:11:15You said that Rick lashed out?

0:11:15 > 0:11:17I might have overstated it. He wanted me gone.

0:11:17 > 0:11:19I don't blame him.

0:11:19 > 0:11:22But still, he never comes across as aggressive.

0:11:22 > 0:11:25Never, although I gave him enough provocation.

0:11:26 > 0:11:29Rick didn't seem well. Is everything all right?

0:11:29 > 0:11:30I couldn't say.

0:11:31 > 0:11:34So you were hoping to re-establish contact?

0:11:36 > 0:11:40I've got to a stage in life where I'm looking back and trying

0:11:40 > 0:11:43to make sense of the mess I made.

0:11:43 > 0:11:46It sounds cliched, but I want to give something back.

0:11:48 > 0:11:51And the person I owe most to is Leyton.

0:11:51 > 0:11:52And Rick.

0:11:54 > 0:11:56Have you told them that?

0:11:56 > 0:11:57I didn't get that far.

0:12:00 > 0:12:03Things have gone well. I got lucky in business.

0:12:04 > 0:12:07I wasn't here for him emotionally

0:12:07 > 0:12:09but I was hoping to help in other ways.

0:12:12 > 0:12:14Looks like I've blown my chances.

0:12:14 > 0:12:16Or fallen at the first hurdle?

0:12:16 > 0:12:17Allow me.

0:12:17 > 0:12:19But if you're serious about making amends,

0:12:19 > 0:12:24then perhaps even try a different approach?

0:12:24 > 0:12:25Such as?

0:12:25 > 0:12:28Is there anybody here that could speak to Rick on your behalf?

0:12:28 > 0:12:29Not in a nice way.

0:12:31 > 0:12:32But...

0:12:33 > 0:12:35..how well do you know Rick?

0:12:40 > 0:12:42I'll consult the third umpire.

0:12:46 > 0:12:47All right, Dad?

0:12:47 > 0:12:51What? Oh, yeah. Fine. Fine.

0:12:52 > 0:12:54Any luck with the short trade?

0:12:58 > 0:13:00No! No, no, stop!

0:13:00 > 0:13:01Stop, stop!

0:13:01 > 0:13:03You idiot!

0:13:05 > 0:13:07And there you have it.

0:13:08 > 0:13:11It's only been recognised over the past 20 years or so,

0:13:11 > 0:13:14so most GPs are unaware of it.

0:13:14 > 0:13:16Cerebral autosomal-dominant arteriopathy

0:13:16 > 0:13:20with subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopathy.

0:13:20 > 0:13:26Bravo. With suspected mutations on gene three of chromosome 19.

0:13:26 > 0:13:29Again, bravo. The brain is kind of my specialist subject.

0:13:29 > 0:13:31Who else in the family is affected?

0:13:31 > 0:13:34So the father and the aunt died in their sixties.

0:13:34 > 0:13:36They thought it was MS or Alzheimer's.

0:13:36 > 0:13:38But now they think CADASIL. Coffee?

0:13:38 > 0:13:40Yes, please.

0:13:40 > 0:13:43And it's causing changes in his behaviour.

0:13:43 > 0:13:46Early onset? Yeah, Rick thinks so.

0:13:46 > 0:13:49He's angry, he's isolated and that's causing problems

0:13:49 > 0:13:51in the relationship with Leyton.

0:13:51 > 0:13:53Has he been tested?

0:13:53 > 0:13:54Rick hasn't said a word.

0:13:54 > 0:13:56He's tried to hide the illness but, of course,

0:13:56 > 0:13:58that's getting difficult now.

0:13:58 > 0:14:01So Leyton sees his dad changing and he doesn't know why?

0:14:01 > 0:14:04I can understand Rick's point.

0:14:04 > 0:14:08There's a 50/50 chance, and with no cure

0:14:08 > 0:14:12that's going to affect life insurance, mortgage possibilities.

0:14:12 > 0:14:13Sure.

0:14:13 > 0:14:16I mean, it's big guilt on Rick, but ultimately it's up to Leyton,

0:14:16 > 0:14:19isn't it? Then at least he'd know what was going on.

0:14:19 > 0:14:21Yeah. And the longer Rick holds out saying anything,

0:14:21 > 0:14:24the more trouble it causes at home.

0:14:24 > 0:14:27No-one likes being left out. Especially teenagers.

0:14:27 > 0:14:28No. No, they don't.

0:14:30 > 0:14:32Thanks, Al. Cheers, mate.

0:14:35 > 0:14:37Ooh, sugar!

0:14:37 > 0:14:39I'll see you next week.

0:14:58 > 0:14:59KNOCK ON DOOR

0:15:02 > 0:15:04Come in.

0:15:06 > 0:15:08It was an accident.

0:15:08 > 0:15:09I never meant to hurt her.

0:15:11 > 0:15:13Is she all right?

0:15:13 > 0:15:15Yeah, a bit shaken.

0:15:16 > 0:15:19I just wanted her gone.

0:15:19 > 0:15:22I've always dreaded her coming back and making some sort of claim

0:15:22 > 0:15:23on Leyton.

0:15:24 > 0:15:26Have you got kids?

0:15:26 > 0:15:28Yeah, two.

0:15:29 > 0:15:31You just want to give them a happy childhood,

0:15:31 > 0:15:33a good education, prospects.

0:15:33 > 0:15:35You have. He's a credit to you.

0:15:35 > 0:15:37Yeah.

0:15:37 > 0:15:39But I'm leaving a different sort of legacy.

0:15:39 > 0:15:42You don't know that. He might be free of it.

0:15:42 > 0:15:46I would do anything, absolutely anything, for that to be true.

0:15:46 > 0:15:49only one way to find out.

0:15:49 > 0:15:51If he tests positive, he'll hate me for it.

0:15:51 > 0:15:54Leyton has a right to know what's happening to you,

0:15:54 > 0:15:57and ultimately, what could be happening to him.

0:15:57 > 0:16:01As his doctor, I should be making him aware of that.

0:16:01 > 0:16:02I know I've got to tell him.

0:16:03 > 0:16:07It's just that the words won't seem to come out.

0:16:07 > 0:16:09It's time to think long-term, Rick.

0:16:09 > 0:16:12We know that in the future, your condition is going to deteriorate,

0:16:12 > 0:16:14don't we?

0:16:14 > 0:16:17You're going to need more support, as is Leyton.

0:16:17 > 0:16:18Bearing that in mind,

0:16:18 > 0:16:22don't you think it might be time for him to meet his mother?

0:16:22 > 0:16:25What, so she can lure him away with her money and expat lifestyle?

0:16:25 > 0:16:29She wants to help. At least, that's the impression I got.

0:16:31 > 0:16:34Leyton is the one good thing in my life,

0:16:34 > 0:16:36and now, after 18 years, she wants him back.

0:16:36 > 0:16:38Who wants me back?

0:16:43 > 0:16:44Your mother.

0:16:46 > 0:16:48What?!

0:16:48 > 0:16:50She was here this morning. I threw her out.

0:16:52 > 0:16:53What did she want?

0:16:53 > 0:16:54To meet you.

0:16:56 > 0:16:57Do you want that?

0:17:00 > 0:17:01I don't know.

0:17:04 > 0:17:05Yeah, I suppose.

0:17:08 > 0:17:10Let me talk to her first, all right?

0:17:12 > 0:17:14Have you still got that number?

0:17:22 > 0:17:23I hope you'll stick around.

0:17:23 > 0:17:25If that's what you want?

0:17:26 > 0:17:28See what a can of worms you've opened.

0:17:50 > 0:17:52What are you doing, Shak? Oh!

0:17:52 > 0:17:54SHE LAUGHS Shut up and keep watch.

0:17:54 > 0:17:56Found anything? I'll tell you in a minute.

0:17:58 > 0:17:59Oh!

0:18:04 > 0:18:06They're not...? Shut up and help. Are you all right up there?

0:18:08 > 0:18:09One under there.

0:18:13 > 0:18:17So that explains what happened earlier, when you pushed me.

0:18:17 > 0:18:18Headaches are epic.

0:18:18 > 0:18:21They can go on for days, plus you feel sick.

0:18:21 > 0:18:24And I've had a couple of strokes now.

0:18:26 > 0:18:28What are they called?

0:18:28 > 0:18:29See, brain's going.

0:18:29 > 0:18:33You've had two relatively minor lacunar strokes.

0:18:33 > 0:18:35So far. But they build up.

0:18:35 > 0:18:37To what?

0:18:37 > 0:18:40Everything from changes in cognitive function,

0:18:40 > 0:18:43which covers a multitude of sins, to persistent disability

0:18:43 > 0:18:45which is terrifyingly vague.

0:18:45 > 0:18:47That could be years away, if at all.

0:18:47 > 0:18:49Most people with CADASIL live to their sixties and seventies.

0:18:49 > 0:18:50And some don't.

0:18:52 > 0:18:56Short-term memory's shot. I'm a liability at work now.

0:18:56 > 0:18:59That's why Dr Granger thought it sensible for Leyton to meet you

0:18:59 > 0:19:03before I kicked the bucket or went completely gaga.

0:19:03 > 0:19:06I had no idea. Well, you wouldn't.

0:19:06 > 0:19:08Not a squeak out of you since the day you ran off.

0:19:08 > 0:19:10No.

0:19:11 > 0:19:13And you've always had it?

0:19:13 > 0:19:16Bubbling away. It's genetic.

0:19:17 > 0:19:18Leyton...

0:19:18 > 0:19:20Exactly.

0:19:20 > 0:19:22My fault, my family.

0:19:22 > 0:19:25And now I'm passing it on.

0:19:25 > 0:19:28And as people always say, we're like two peas in a pod.

0:19:28 > 0:19:30In some ways.

0:19:30 > 0:19:32It's probably not what you had in mind.

0:19:32 > 0:19:34Leyton's future isn't quite so rosy.

0:19:36 > 0:19:39They are finding things out about CADASIL all the time.

0:19:39 > 0:19:41There are no cures right now,

0:19:41 > 0:19:43but it's important that you stay positive,

0:19:43 > 0:19:44for yourself and for Leyton.

0:19:46 > 0:19:47Yeah.

0:19:47 > 0:19:50Well, thank you for telling me about this, Rick.

0:19:50 > 0:19:51I appreciate it.

0:19:53 > 0:19:56I've been keeping a nasty little secret of my own.

0:19:58 > 0:19:59Why does that not surprise me?

0:20:02 > 0:20:03Come on, then. Enlighten me.

0:20:05 > 0:20:07Leyton's not your son.

0:20:13 > 0:20:15So what did you find?

0:20:15 > 0:20:17Mum and Dad's wedding certificate. We've got a name.

0:20:17 > 0:20:19What is it? Check it out.

0:20:21 > 0:20:23Aamir?

0:20:23 > 0:20:24Mean anything? Nope.

0:20:26 > 0:20:28Not in there, you idiot!

0:20:28 > 0:20:29Pass it here. I'll dump it.

0:20:40 > 0:20:41Say it again?

0:20:43 > 0:20:45You're not Leyton's father.

0:20:46 > 0:20:48He's not your son.

0:20:48 > 0:20:51Rick, I'm sorry. I really am.

0:20:54 > 0:20:56All these years of bringing him up alone.

0:20:58 > 0:21:00Now suddenly you come back and the whole world's changed.

0:21:02 > 0:21:06And I'm not the person I thought I was, and nor is Leyton.

0:21:07 > 0:21:12You are a scheming, cheating, violent drunk and a terrible person.

0:21:16 > 0:21:19But thank you!

0:21:21 > 0:21:22From the bottom of my heart.

0:21:24 > 0:21:26Glad to help.

0:21:26 > 0:21:29This is probably the happiest day of my life.

0:21:29 > 0:21:31What a doctor! Oh... Oh!

0:21:32 > 0:21:36I've been praying for some way out but I never imagined this.

0:21:37 > 0:21:40How to cure someone's incurable disease in 30 seconds.

0:21:40 > 0:21:41Admittedly not what I was expecting either.

0:21:41 > 0:21:43There'll need to be tests to make certain.

0:21:43 > 0:21:47Oh, I'm certain. Rick's right, I was terrible back then.

0:21:47 > 0:21:50You slept around, but I'll always be grateful for that.

0:21:50 > 0:21:53I explained Leyton's pregnancy on a dodgy condom.

0:21:55 > 0:21:57Are you really OK with this?

0:21:57 > 0:21:59Ecstatic.

0:21:59 > 0:22:01He's my son, because nothing will ever change that.

0:22:01 > 0:22:04But he's not my blood.

0:22:04 > 0:22:07He's clear of what killed my dad, my aunt, my uncle.

0:22:07 > 0:22:09So, yeah! I'm really OK with this.

0:22:09 > 0:22:12If you ever wondered where his sporting ability comes from,

0:22:12 > 0:22:14it's not from either of us.

0:22:14 > 0:22:16The real father was into baseball.

0:22:17 > 0:22:21Ah. The Air Force base.

0:22:21 > 0:22:23He now coaches Little League in Vermont.

0:22:23 > 0:22:26Google him. You'll see the spitting image of Leyton.

0:22:26 > 0:22:27Or how he'll be in 20 years.

0:22:27 > 0:22:29Healthy and happy? Absolutely.

0:22:31 > 0:22:34So are you going to tell Leyton?

0:22:34 > 0:22:35About not being his blood father?

0:22:35 > 0:22:38No, about the CADASIL.

0:22:38 > 0:22:40That's no longer your concern, Dr Granger.

0:22:40 > 0:22:42He needs to know. The sooner you tell him...

0:22:42 > 0:22:45Just let me enjoy the moment, will you?

0:22:47 > 0:22:49He's got to meet his mum first.

0:22:49 > 0:22:51Yeah.

0:22:51 > 0:22:53One seismic shock at a time.

0:23:04 > 0:23:06Ruhma!

0:23:08 > 0:23:09What's wrong?

0:23:10 > 0:23:15I don't really understand the person I was back then either.

0:23:15 > 0:23:20And I've no excuses. Just regrets. At not being there for you.

0:23:22 > 0:23:25But I've changed, and I want to try and put it right.

0:23:26 > 0:23:28And how are you going to do that?

0:23:28 > 0:23:32Well, first I'd like to stay a few more days

0:23:32 > 0:23:34so you can get to know me a bit more.

0:23:34 > 0:23:37And then... What I'd really like

0:23:37 > 0:23:40is for you to come over and visit me some time.

0:23:40 > 0:23:41I'd love to show you Cape Town.

0:23:43 > 0:23:46My stepson's a cricketer too. You'll get on great.

0:23:46 > 0:23:48We always go to the Test at Newlands. Wow!

0:23:50 > 0:23:52But we can't afford a club tour of Somerset,

0:23:52 > 0:23:54let alone a trip to Africa.

0:23:54 > 0:23:55Let me worry about that.

0:23:58 > 0:24:00What do you think, Dad?

0:24:00 > 0:24:04It's your choice, Leyton. Your whole life's ahead of you.

0:24:04 > 0:24:05There's no rush.

0:24:05 > 0:24:07I'm not running out again.

0:24:12 > 0:24:15KNOCK ON DOOR Come in.

0:24:15 > 0:24:17Did you get it? Hm? Valerie's card.

0:24:17 > 0:24:19Oh, yes.

0:24:19 > 0:24:21Here you go.

0:24:21 > 0:24:23And Rob's scratch cards?

0:24:23 > 0:24:26Oh, no. Sorry, I forgot. Sieve brain.

0:24:26 > 0:24:28Ah, no worries. You got this, that's the main thing.

0:24:28 > 0:24:31I'll pop in on my way home. OK.

0:24:31 > 0:24:33You all right? Hm? Yes.

0:24:33 > 0:24:34Just...you know, busy.

0:24:36 > 0:24:38Bye. Bye.

0:24:46 > 0:24:47Right...

0:25:02 > 0:25:04Well done, me.

0:25:04 > 0:25:06So, how are you feeling?

0:25:06 > 0:25:10To be honest, things couldn't have gone much better.

0:25:10 > 0:25:13I've made contact with my son, and with your help

0:25:13 > 0:25:16delivered Rick the best news of his life.

0:25:16 > 0:25:19It was a gamble, but... Quite a day.

0:25:19 > 0:25:23He's a great lad and Rick's a brilliant father.

0:25:23 > 0:25:26It's good I wasn't there to mess him up.

0:25:26 > 0:25:28So. Back to South Africa?

0:25:28 > 0:25:29In a few days.

0:25:29 > 0:25:31What then?

0:25:31 > 0:25:34I'll send Rick money for the cricket tour and set up a trust fund

0:25:34 > 0:25:36for anything else Leyton needs.

0:25:36 > 0:25:40Then I'll respect his wishes and keep out of his life,

0:25:40 > 0:25:42if that's what he wants.

0:25:42 > 0:25:44I don't imagine he'll feel like that for ever.

0:25:44 > 0:25:47It was a lesson in loyalty. Fair play to him.

0:25:47 > 0:25:48He's been through a lot today.

0:25:48 > 0:25:52But with Rick on board, just give it time.

0:25:52 > 0:25:54I know. And I will.

0:25:55 > 0:25:57Because you and I both know

0:25:57 > 0:26:00he's going to need me sooner than he thinks.

0:26:08 > 0:26:10What do you want?

0:26:10 > 0:26:12Look, I might have got a bit carried away.

0:26:12 > 0:26:15Cos I sort of know how you probably feel...

0:26:15 > 0:26:19I mean, if mates ever ask me about Dad, I shut them up.

0:26:19 > 0:26:22So I get that you find this a bit weird.

0:26:22 > 0:26:25It's not that I'm not interested. I am.

0:26:25 > 0:26:27It's all the other stuff that comes with it.

0:26:27 > 0:26:32I feel like I've got to do this, although the timing sucks.

0:26:32 > 0:26:36Maybe it's moving in with Heston, but not knowing who my own dad is?

0:26:36 > 0:26:37It's a big gap.

0:26:39 > 0:26:41So what do you reckon, then?

0:26:41 > 0:26:43OK.

0:26:43 > 0:26:45Cool. Just let me know what's happening, all right?

0:26:45 > 0:26:49Shak, Alia? Can you come down here please?

0:26:49 > 0:26:51It's not going to ruin things for us, is it?

0:26:51 > 0:26:52We'll be fine.

0:26:52 > 0:26:55I bet you won't get anything new about Aamir from Mum.

0:26:55 > 0:26:57I'm not going to Mum. I've got other plans.

0:26:57 > 0:27:01Shak, Alia. Can you come down here?

0:27:02 > 0:27:03What's her problem?

0:27:13 > 0:27:15Condoms! Really?

0:27:23 > 0:27:24School fees are, like, massive.

0:27:24 > 0:27:26You wouldn't have to work such long hours.

0:27:26 > 0:27:28I've told you, that's not a problem.

0:27:28 > 0:27:30I really enjoy my work.

0:27:30 > 0:27:33Bowling? Ah. Sounds wonderful. Shall I book? No, I'm on it.

0:27:34 > 0:27:36I want to make up for the other day.

0:27:36 > 0:27:38How did you feel about Karen talking over you?

0:27:38 > 0:27:41I'm used to that, she never listens to my point of view.

0:27:41 > 0:27:44Hello, gorgeous. Do you know what you're after today?

0:27:44 > 0:27:46Everything.
