0:00:53 > 0:00:55Hello, love, it's Mum.
0:00:55 > 0:00:57Just checking to see you got up all right.
0:00:59 > 0:01:02No classes? Uni sounds good to me!
0:01:03 > 0:01:05No, I'm sure you...
0:01:06 > 0:01:11Yeah. All right, love. Let me know how you're getting on.
0:01:11 > 0:01:13Bye. Bye.
0:01:15 > 0:01:17BUS PULLS UP
0:01:17 > 0:01:21Are you all right? Do you need some help? No. No, thank you. No.
0:01:22 > 0:01:24Thank you.
0:01:29 > 0:01:30SHE EXHALES
0:01:30 > 0:01:32And breathe!
0:01:32 > 0:01:33SHE INHALES
0:01:33 > 0:01:37I am too positive to be doubtful and I believe in self-love.
0:01:38 > 0:01:42Cometh the hour, cometh Valerie Pitman!
0:01:44 > 0:01:47Ooo! Oh! Oh! I am so sorry, Mr Yang.
0:01:47 > 0:01:49Did I get you? No, no, it's fine.
0:01:49 > 0:01:51Are you sure? No damage done.
0:01:51 > 0:01:54Well, here I am, reporting for duty.
0:01:54 > 0:01:57Very excited. That's good to hear.
0:01:57 > 0:01:59You're nice and early. Hm.
0:02:01 > 0:02:03Come on through. I'll be there in a sec.
0:02:05 > 0:02:07Too positive to be doubtful.
0:02:07 > 0:02:09SHE EXHALES
0:02:14 > 0:02:17I thought you were out at St Phil's. Yeah. I forgot this.
0:02:17 > 0:02:18Kids get off all right?
0:02:18 > 0:02:21Um...Shak had already left and Alia didn't want a lift.
0:02:21 > 0:02:22And what's wrong with her feet?
0:02:22 > 0:02:24Nothing, but I thought after Friday...
0:02:24 > 0:02:26We just don't need to pussyfoot around them. Mm.
0:02:26 > 0:02:29Are you sure you're all right? Yeah. Never better.
0:02:29 > 0:02:31Honestly!
0:02:31 > 0:02:36Look, it's done and we can just get on with getting back to normal.
0:02:36 > 0:02:37See you later.
0:02:39 > 0:02:40Bye.
0:02:40 > 0:02:43Everyone, this is Valerie Pitman, our new admin support worker.
0:02:43 > 0:02:45Hi, everyone.
0:02:45 > 0:02:48I'm really looking forward to working alongside you.
0:02:48 > 0:02:51Well, not right alongside all of you because that would be impossible.
0:02:51 > 0:02:54They're a focused and dedicated bunch.
0:02:54 > 0:02:56(Most of them.) Of course!
0:02:56 > 0:02:59Megan Waller, recruitment consultant. Nice to have you here.
0:02:59 > 0:03:02And this is you. Now, sorry everything's a bit rushed,
0:03:02 > 0:03:05but we are rather busy, so I'm going to throw you in at the deep end.
0:03:05 > 0:03:07Oh, don't worry about me.
0:03:07 > 0:03:09I can tread water in a nightie while holding a plastic brick.
0:03:09 > 0:03:11Hm! Great.
0:03:11 > 0:03:14Megan, is it OK for you to show Valerie the ropes?
0:03:14 > 0:03:16I was just going to make a few calls.
0:03:16 > 0:03:19It won't take her long to get up to speed, I'm sure.
0:03:19 > 0:03:22Of course. And we'll catch up a little bit later. Smashing!
0:03:28 > 0:03:30Hey. What happened to school?
0:03:32 > 0:03:35I couldn't concentrate. My head's all over the place.
0:03:35 > 0:03:38About? Stuff.
0:03:40 > 0:03:42Shak, I'm in the middle of a clinic.
0:03:45 > 0:03:48Look, er...why don't you go home?
0:03:48 > 0:03:53I've got the afternoon off and we'll talk later? I need to talk now, Mum.
0:03:53 > 0:03:54PHONE RINGS
0:03:54 > 0:03:57Ooo! Oh! Oh, I'm sorry! I didn't get you, did I?
0:03:57 > 0:03:59No, my fault, I didn't see you.
0:03:59 > 0:04:02It's my second potential spillage with a hot beverage today.
0:04:02 > 0:04:04Not good on your first day, is it? Oh, sorry.
0:04:04 > 0:04:07I hope I'm not spoiling it for you. Ooo, no!
0:04:07 > 0:04:09I'm not keen on the photocopier, but otherwise...
0:04:09 > 0:04:14Are you waiting to see Patrick? Yeah. He's on the phone, I think.
0:04:14 > 0:04:18I had an interview this morning. I've just come for the feedback.
0:04:18 > 0:04:22Oh, good. Oh, it's probably just I's and T's. Dots/crossings.
0:04:22 > 0:04:25You can always hope.
0:04:25 > 0:04:28Seems so much more important when you're desperate, doesn't it?
0:04:28 > 0:04:32All you can think of to get out of a black hole - focus, focus.
0:04:32 > 0:04:34Sorry, I'm babbling now.
0:04:34 > 0:04:37Tough time? Kind of.
0:04:37 > 0:04:42I recently got divorced and my daughter's just gone off to uni. Oh.
0:04:42 > 0:04:44Break-ups are always horrible.
0:04:44 > 0:04:48Where does the love go? Usually to the pub.
0:04:48 > 0:04:50Or the rugby.
0:04:50 > 0:04:52Or the casino.
0:04:52 > 0:04:55Not that I minded at the end. Oh, I feel your pain.
0:04:57 > 0:05:01OK. So I phoned school and said that you weren't feeling well.
0:05:04 > 0:05:05So...?
0:05:07 > 0:05:09I bet you're glad he didn't turn up.
0:05:10 > 0:05:13Look, I...I can't say that I'm not pleased, but...
0:05:15 > 0:05:16What about you?
0:05:19 > 0:05:21You can say, you know, Shak. I won't be offended.
0:05:23 > 0:05:26I just don't understand why he said he wanted to see us
0:05:26 > 0:05:27if he wasn't going to show up.
0:05:27 > 0:05:29Hey.
0:05:29 > 0:05:33This is about him, not you. You know that, don't you?
0:05:35 > 0:05:38Have you been stewing on this all weekend?
0:05:38 > 0:05:41I didn't want to worry you.
0:05:41 > 0:05:42You can always talk to me.
0:05:42 > 0:05:46Well, I just didn't want to hear any of the excuses.
0:05:46 > 0:05:48PHONE RINGS
0:05:52 > 0:05:54Who's that?
0:05:56 > 0:05:57It started Saturday.
0:06:01 > 0:06:04My head's mashed, Mum. Oh, hey. Come here.
0:06:05 > 0:06:09Still, PMA, as they say. Positive Mental Attitude.
0:06:09 > 0:06:11Keep grasping those nettles. Indeed. Ouch!
0:06:11 > 0:06:15THEY CHUCKLE Julie. Thanks for coming in.
0:06:15 > 0:06:18Is that for me? Oh. Hm-hm. Great.
0:06:18 > 0:06:19Oh, um...HR at St Phil's called.
0:06:19 > 0:06:22Could you get back to them re your e-mail this morning?
0:06:22 > 0:06:24And here's your post. Oh, thanks.
0:06:24 > 0:06:27It was a no from The Orchard, I'm afraid. Oh, right.
0:06:27 > 0:06:31I-I-I didn't think I was what they were looking for.
0:06:31 > 0:06:34It's still early days. There are other avenues to explore.
0:06:34 > 0:06:36Come on through.
0:06:38 > 0:06:40So, what does he say in his messages?
0:06:40 > 0:06:44Something about he couldn't get Dad to come.
0:06:44 > 0:06:45And what's Alia say?
0:06:49 > 0:06:51She doesn't know?
0:06:51 > 0:06:53I started this. Oh, Shak.
0:06:55 > 0:06:57I don't even know what to say to Zaroon.
0:06:57 > 0:06:59Well, I'll support you whatever.
0:06:59 > 0:07:01OK?
0:07:01 > 0:07:02Now, do you want to see him?
0:07:18 > 0:07:21Shak? It's not Shak, it's his mum.
0:07:21 > 0:07:25Ruhma! Look, can you stop calling my son, OK?
0:07:25 > 0:07:28Aamir made his decision and we just want to be left alone.
0:07:28 > 0:07:32No, Ruhma, please, don't hang up. I'm sorry.
0:07:32 > 0:07:34I don't know why he went all weird.
0:07:34 > 0:07:36And they should suffer because of that?
0:07:36 > 0:07:38They don't want anything to do with him.
0:07:38 > 0:07:41Please, he may not want to know his kids,
0:07:41 > 0:07:44but that doesn't mean the rest of the family don't.
0:07:44 > 0:07:48We miss them. Zaroon, you're not listening. It's over. It's done.
0:07:50 > 0:07:52Maybe for Aamir,
0:07:52 > 0:07:55but I'm not going to give up on them that easily.
0:07:55 > 0:07:57Not when I've just got to meet them.
0:07:57 > 0:08:00I mean it. OK.
0:08:00 > 0:08:03Cream cakes, if anyone's interested.
0:08:03 > 0:08:05Oh, thank you.
0:08:06 > 0:08:10On your first day. It's just to say thank you for making me feel so welcome.
0:08:10 > 0:08:14Cream horn! It's my favourite! Help yourself.
0:08:14 > 0:08:16Mm! Ooo! Megan.
0:08:16 > 0:08:20Have you got a moment to talk through the next steps with Julie? Of course. Where we at?
0:08:20 > 0:08:24Would you like one? Ooo! No, thanks. Carbs just love me.
0:08:26 > 0:08:28How did it go? Well, he tried to get me another interview,
0:08:28 > 0:08:31but I didn't have enough experience.
0:08:31 > 0:08:34Not that I'd be any good at selling medical equipment.
0:08:34 > 0:08:37I can't even sell myself. It's all an act, you know.
0:08:37 > 0:08:39Fake it until you make it! Huh!
0:08:39 > 0:08:43They wouldn't waste their time with you if they didn't see something in you.
0:08:43 > 0:08:45Well, they say I'm right for admin stuff.
0:08:45 > 0:08:49I did my exes' books for his business after my daughter came along.
0:08:49 > 0:08:52That's positive. And what did you do before you had her?
0:08:52 > 0:08:55I was a nurse back in the day. Right.
0:08:55 > 0:08:57And you've not thought about retraining?
0:08:57 > 0:09:01Nice if I had the time, but I need to work now.
0:09:01 > 0:09:04Yeah. I understand.
0:09:04 > 0:09:06So, Julie, I'm going to hand you over to Megan
0:09:06 > 0:09:08and she's going to go through the onward strategy.
0:09:08 > 0:09:09Go on through.
0:09:11 > 0:09:14Are you coming? Me?
0:09:15 > 0:09:17Thought it would be worthwhile.
0:09:24 > 0:09:28It was just seeing Shak in that state. I-I had to do something!
0:09:28 > 0:09:30Look, we were all hoping it would blow over.
0:09:30 > 0:09:32Now's your chance to deal with it face-to-face.
0:09:32 > 0:09:36But the flipping Icon bar? Why on earth did I say that?
0:09:36 > 0:09:38Well, you probably feel safer on home territory.
0:09:38 > 0:09:42It's like saying, "Oh, welcome to my world. Just come and find me!"
0:09:42 > 0:09:45Well, who are you talking about - Zaroon or Aamir? Both of them.
0:09:45 > 0:09:47All of them!
0:09:47 > 0:09:49If it helps, I can be there.
0:09:51 > 0:09:53We believe in you as a candidate and you must too.
0:09:53 > 0:09:57And if you're confident, you're able. Does that make sense?
0:09:59 > 0:10:00Of course. I concur.
0:10:01 > 0:10:05So I was thinking, in order to achieve our goals, some courses.
0:10:07 > 0:10:10I've got a list here that would definitely make our search more viable.
0:10:19 > 0:10:21I feel so much better after that, don't you? Really?
0:10:23 > 0:10:26Yes. Why? Don't you? You want me to pay to upgrade my office skills
0:10:26 > 0:10:28just so I can apply for jobs?
0:10:28 > 0:10:30Yeah. Well, surely it'll benefit you in the long run?
0:10:30 > 0:10:33Weren't you listening? I-I can't afford this stuff.
0:10:33 > 0:10:34It's extortionate!
0:10:37 > 0:10:39Wow!
0:10:39 > 0:10:41Right. Um...
0:10:41 > 0:10:43OK, well, there must be some way around this.
0:10:43 > 0:10:46I just need to earn so I can start putting my life back together.
0:10:46 > 0:10:50I understand, I really do. Clearly you don't. None of you do!
0:10:59 > 0:11:00KNOCK AT DOOR
0:11:03 > 0:11:04Hi. Yeah?
0:11:04 > 0:11:10Um...I was just thinking re Julie Babbitt and the training.
0:11:10 > 0:11:13Is there nothing we can do to help regarding subsidy? Reduced rates?
0:11:13 > 0:11:16Yeah. It's just that she's had a really tough time of late
0:11:16 > 0:11:19and it would be great if we could give her a leg up, don't you think?
0:11:19 > 0:11:21And what about everybody else?
0:11:21 > 0:11:25Granted. But it is a bit of a catch 22 for her.
0:11:25 > 0:11:28No cash means no training. No job means no cash.
0:11:28 > 0:11:30And if we subsidise her,
0:11:30 > 0:11:33we'll make the money back when she eventually gets a job.
0:11:33 > 0:11:35If she ever gets a job. Why wouldn't she?
0:11:35 > 0:11:39Well, she hasn't exactly got the greatest CV, has she?
0:11:39 > 0:11:42You know, there's got to be some benefit in spending time on her.
0:11:42 > 0:11:45But we're here to try and get people into work,
0:11:45 > 0:11:47not to sell them things they can't afford.
0:11:47 > 0:11:50Recruitment, yes, charity, no.
0:11:50 > 0:11:53We all have to hit targets. Do we?
0:11:54 > 0:11:56Maybe tone down the keenness.
0:12:22 > 0:12:24Hi. Um...can I just have an orange juice, please?
0:12:27 > 0:12:29Er...Mrs Tembe, practice manager.
0:12:29 > 0:12:32Mrs Tembe. It's Valerie.
0:12:32 > 0:12:36Ah, Miss Pitman! How lovely to hear from you! So, how are you?
0:12:36 > 0:12:40Very, very well, thanks for asking. Good.
0:12:40 > 0:12:42Now, what do I owe this pleasure?
0:12:42 > 0:12:45Actually, I've moved in-house at Westmount.
0:12:45 > 0:12:47Poached off the streets, as it were.
0:12:47 > 0:12:50I'm in the office, recruiting.
0:12:50 > 0:12:53Well, that is excellent news. Yes, it is, isn't it?
0:12:53 > 0:12:56Yep, well, you see, I've got this special candidate.
0:12:56 > 0:12:59Lovely woman, older. She's keen to get back in the marketplace.
0:12:59 > 0:13:01Excellent admin skills.
0:13:01 > 0:13:04Might need a bit of updating, but she was an ex nurse,
0:13:04 > 0:13:06so she's got obvious medical knowledge.
0:13:06 > 0:13:10Well, the fees are too high at Westmount for us to take on
0:13:10 > 0:13:12anyone long-term.
0:13:12 > 0:13:14That is the very reason we had to let you go!
0:13:14 > 0:13:18It's so sad when someone gets forgotten.
0:13:18 > 0:13:20And I was hoping that, in the lovely,
0:13:20 > 0:13:22nurturing environment of the Mill, she might blossom.
0:13:22 > 0:13:26Well, that is a lovely thing to hear. Well, it's true.
0:13:26 > 0:13:28Everyone deserves that chance.
0:13:28 > 0:13:33Well, knowing you as I do, if you are as passionate and honest
0:13:33 > 0:13:37about this candidate, then I would trust your instinct.
0:13:37 > 0:13:40Well, that's a very nice thing to say, Mrs Tembe.
0:13:40 > 0:13:43KNOCK AT DOOR Oh, I am so sorry, I have to go.
0:13:43 > 0:13:48But I am sure that we will speak again soon. Yeah. Come in!
0:13:58 > 0:14:01Hello, Moira? Yes, it's Valerie Pitman.
0:14:12 > 0:14:16Hey. Where are you? I'm sorry, I had an emergency call. I'm on my way.
0:14:16 > 0:14:19Yeah, well, don't bother because he didn't turn up. Seriously?!
0:14:19 > 0:14:21Have you tried ringing him?
0:14:21 > 0:14:25No. I didn't get his number off Shak, did I?
0:14:25 > 0:14:29Look, Heston, what if this is a set-up?
0:14:29 > 0:14:33Get me out of the way, give Aamir chance to get to the kids?
0:14:33 > 0:14:36Well, he had that chance last Friday and he didn't take it.
0:14:36 > 0:14:40Yeah, maybe. Maybe plans have changed.
0:14:40 > 0:14:43Well, have you tried ringing Shak and Alia? No.
0:14:43 > 0:14:46No, I don't want to worry the kids. I...
0:14:48 > 0:14:50Ruhma.
0:14:50 > 0:14:52Assalaamu Alaikum.
0:14:52 > 0:14:54Um...he's here.
0:15:01 > 0:15:03Oh, hello. Can I help?
0:15:03 > 0:15:05Blagdan Shevchuk. Meeting two o'clock.
0:15:07 > 0:15:09Er...Dr Shevchuk, that's right.
0:15:09 > 0:15:12Ooo, you're keen! Can I get you a coffee?
0:15:12 > 0:15:14I don't like, no.
0:15:14 > 0:15:17Well, if you'd like to take a seat, if you don't mind waiting?
0:15:20 > 0:15:22Shevchuk. Am I saying that right? Yes, that is me.
0:15:22 > 0:15:25Oh, no, I don't need you. No, I was just...I was just saying. Huh!
0:15:30 > 0:15:33Ooo! You have a very impressive curriculum vitae.
0:15:37 > 0:15:40Oh. Oh, no, no. I'm just saying it's very impressive.
0:15:40 > 0:15:43No, we need to keep this. OK, good. Thanks.
0:15:43 > 0:15:45Excuse me one moment.
0:15:58 > 0:16:02Hi, Julie? Yes, hello, it's Valerie Pitman at Westmount.
0:16:04 > 0:16:06No, please, I...
0:16:06 > 0:16:10Look, I need you just to pop back for a few minutes.
0:16:10 > 0:16:13I'll meet you outside the building. I...
0:16:13 > 0:16:17I need to have a quick chat with you. On the QT.
0:16:18 > 0:16:20It's really good to see you.
0:16:20 > 0:16:23You look great. Yeah, you said.
0:16:23 > 0:16:25What is it you want, Zaroon?
0:16:27 > 0:16:29Aamir's a fool.
0:16:29 > 0:16:31He's missing out and I don't know why.
0:16:33 > 0:16:36Shak and Alia are amazing kids. They're a credit to you.
0:16:37 > 0:16:40Made me realise how important family is.
0:16:40 > 0:16:42And to see the pair of them,
0:16:42 > 0:16:44it's like turning back the clock.
0:16:46 > 0:16:48And the thought of losing that again...
0:16:51 > 0:16:52..made me understand how great a pain it was
0:16:52 > 0:16:54for my parents when you left.
0:16:56 > 0:16:57One that they never got over.
0:16:59 > 0:17:00Why did you do that to them?
0:17:03 > 0:17:06So, it's a care staff position? Well, it's a start.
0:17:06 > 0:17:08And perhaps you could put some cash aside,
0:17:08 > 0:17:10think about retraining as a nurse.
0:17:10 > 0:17:12See, I couldn't get my head around
0:17:12 > 0:17:15the whole return-to-nursing course thing before,
0:17:15 > 0:17:17so I did some digging.
0:17:17 > 0:17:20Turns out you can extend it to six months instead of three,
0:17:20 > 0:17:22which means you could keep working part-time.
0:17:22 > 0:17:24Keep the money coming in.
0:17:24 > 0:17:27Well, only if you want to. If it could work...
0:17:27 > 0:17:30Also, at the care home, the interview is practical,
0:17:30 > 0:17:32which means you can show off your skills
0:17:32 > 0:17:34without all the chat and selling.
0:17:34 > 0:17:37So, what do you think? Sounds great!
0:17:37 > 0:17:39But why are you putting yourself out?
0:17:40 > 0:17:43Because I wasn't listening earlier. None of us were.
0:17:43 > 0:17:45Plus I think you deserve a break.
0:17:48 > 0:17:51I know he drank a bit. Told you it was my fault, didn't they?
0:17:51 > 0:17:54That it was nothing to do with their poor little boy.
0:17:55 > 0:17:58What? You don't believe me?
0:17:58 > 0:18:02Just because you didn't see or hear anything, Zaroon.
0:18:02 > 0:18:05They saw my body, they saw my face.
0:18:06 > 0:18:08Shak nearly died.
0:18:10 > 0:18:13Aamir...Aamir nearly killed our boy.
0:18:17 > 0:18:19It can't have been... What?
0:18:19 > 0:18:21That bad?
0:18:21 > 0:18:24Is that what you were going to say?
0:18:25 > 0:18:28Do you want to see the X-ray of my boy's broken bone?
0:18:32 > 0:18:34I just can't believe he would hurt him like that.
0:18:34 > 0:18:39So when your family and mine wouldn't help, I had to leave.
0:18:41 > 0:18:44And you're still choosing to stick your head in the sand.
0:18:44 > 0:18:48Over my dead body will my kids have anything to do with you
0:18:48 > 0:18:51and your family!
0:18:51 > 0:18:54Take your hand off me.
0:18:54 > 0:18:57I'm sorry. You OK? I'm fine.
0:18:57 > 0:19:00Sorry. I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to do that.
0:19:03 > 0:19:05I'm going to go, OK?
0:19:05 > 0:19:07Please, don't go.
0:19:09 > 0:19:10Not like this.
0:19:12 > 0:19:14You will let me know how it goes, won't you?
0:19:14 > 0:19:16On the hush-hush, of course. Why?
0:19:16 > 0:19:20Because we don't have an arrangement with The Norbury to supply staff!
0:19:22 > 0:19:24You just don't do this! On your own doorstep?
0:19:24 > 0:19:27But she's got me an interview, looked into training.
0:19:27 > 0:19:31Trying to pocket a bit of commission! No!
0:19:31 > 0:19:34I knew somebody who might have an opening. You weren't interested!
0:19:34 > 0:19:36You've been here for five minutes and you're trying to take
0:19:36 > 0:19:39the food out of my mouth, out of my baby's mouth! No, I wasn't!
0:19:39 > 0:19:43So, what's this, then? Was it really worth it? It?!
0:19:43 > 0:19:45You're finished here! She's done more for me in the last few hours
0:19:45 > 0:19:47than you lot have done in weeks!
0:19:47 > 0:19:50I knew you couldn't hack it. Did you hear me?
0:19:50 > 0:19:53And don't come crying back to me when this all falls apart!
0:19:53 > 0:19:55Why would it? Yes, why would it?
0:19:55 > 0:19:57You're not exactly current, are you?
0:19:57 > 0:20:01Bit limited. I have skills I doubt you'll ever have.
0:20:01 > 0:20:02Excuse me?
0:20:02 > 0:20:05And if nurturing, caring for and giving time to my child
0:20:05 > 0:20:08make me limited, then, yes, I am.
0:20:08 > 0:20:10So this is selling yourself, then?
0:20:10 > 0:20:12No, this is the truth.
0:20:12 > 0:20:13My personal statement.
0:20:13 > 0:20:16Flash clothes and money won't make you a good mother.
0:20:16 > 0:20:18I don't regret for a minute what I gave up.
0:20:18 > 0:20:20I hope you can say the same in 20 years' time.
0:20:20 > 0:20:22How dare you.
0:20:22 > 0:20:25You have no idea about my life. No, you're right, I don't.
0:20:25 > 0:20:28I just made the lazy assumption that you were a stuck up, selfish cow,
0:20:28 > 0:20:31just like you assumed that I was limited with no career prospects.
0:20:31 > 0:20:33Well, I'm going to prove you wrong!
0:20:37 > 0:20:39Oh.
0:20:39 > 0:20:41I don't know where that came from. Sorry.
0:20:41 > 0:20:43Don't apologise.
0:20:43 > 0:20:45But you've just lost your job.
0:20:48 > 0:20:51Got married few years ago.
0:20:51 > 0:20:54Always knew we'd be together, even from kids.
0:20:54 > 0:20:56I'm very happy for you.
0:20:57 > 0:21:00You seem to have done well for yourself.
0:21:00 > 0:21:03Been together long?
0:21:03 > 0:21:05Zaroon...
0:21:05 > 0:21:06that's my business.
0:21:08 > 0:21:09We missed you.
0:21:11 > 0:21:12I missed you.
0:21:14 > 0:21:17You're like the big sister I never had.
0:21:18 > 0:21:19And Ali is dead like you -
0:21:19 > 0:21:21smart but funny.
0:21:22 > 0:21:25I understand your concerns, but...
0:21:25 > 0:21:29it would break my heart to never see him again.
0:21:29 > 0:21:31This is their choice.
0:21:33 > 0:21:34Maybe it's all too quick.
0:21:34 > 0:21:36Maybe if we did this gradually.
0:21:36 > 0:21:37No, I don't think so.
0:21:39 > 0:21:40What if you were there?
0:21:40 > 0:21:42No, it's not about me.
0:21:44 > 0:21:48I might not have always done things the right way.
0:21:49 > 0:21:52I can see that you care for them, but I have to protect them.
0:21:55 > 0:21:57I know.
0:21:57 > 0:22:00You know, if you care for them then surely the best thing
0:22:00 > 0:22:02is to just leave them alone.
0:22:05 > 0:22:07I can't see that.
0:22:08 > 0:22:12They can only benefit from having their extended family around
0:22:12 > 0:22:13to support them.
0:22:14 > 0:22:17You can't rule us all out because of Aamir.
0:22:17 > 0:22:18I can.
0:22:19 > 0:22:22It's unfair on us and the kids.
0:22:22 > 0:22:25Unfair? You want to talk to me about unfair?
0:22:25 > 0:22:28I brought them up by myself.
0:22:30 > 0:22:32Do you think I have been a bad mum?
0:22:33 > 0:22:35No.
0:22:35 > 0:22:37You're clearly a great mum.
0:22:37 > 0:22:39Just trust me.
0:22:39 > 0:22:42Me, Shak, Alia...
0:22:42 > 0:22:43We've come a long way on our own.
0:22:44 > 0:22:46And now...
0:22:47 > 0:22:53..we've got someone special and we're happy and we are stable, so...
0:22:53 > 0:22:55you have to respect my decision.
0:23:00 > 0:23:03She's been poaching business right from under our noses.
0:23:03 > 0:23:06Loss of commission, loss of course fees.
0:23:06 > 0:23:08You cannot let her jeopardise the business like this.
0:23:08 > 0:23:10Well, at least I found her something.
0:23:10 > 0:23:12It's a sackable offence, Valerie.
0:23:14 > 0:23:17Perhaps we shouldn't get so hung up
0:23:17 > 0:23:19about one hard-to-place candidate.
0:23:19 > 0:23:22That little job quest of yours ended up netting us some new business.
0:23:22 > 0:23:25Courtesy of your contact, Mrs Tembe,
0:23:25 > 0:23:27the Mill have sent in a new locum doctor.
0:23:28 > 0:23:30Now, they've stopped coming to us for long-term contracts
0:23:30 > 0:23:33but they're suddenly keen to use us for short-term cover.
0:23:33 > 0:23:39Valerie, there are protocols and procedures that must be followed.
0:23:39 > 0:23:43And any further deviation will result in disciplinary action.
0:23:44 > 0:23:48But, for now, we'll put it down to first-day nerves.
0:23:50 > 0:23:51Valerie, get a list of clients
0:23:51 > 0:23:53and see if you can drum up some more trade.
0:23:58 > 0:23:59It's been good to see you.
0:23:59 > 0:24:01I'm glad you're happy.
0:24:03 > 0:24:05Let's keep it like that.
0:24:06 > 0:24:07Thank you, Zaroon.
0:24:09 > 0:24:11But if they want to come see me again...
0:24:11 > 0:24:13and come looking...
0:24:14 > 0:24:16..I won't turn them away.
0:24:25 > 0:24:26Is that it?
0:24:28 > 0:24:29We'll see.
0:24:35 > 0:24:37Seeing as you're not busy,
0:24:37 > 0:24:40can you go through the paperwork with Dr Shevchuk?
0:24:40 > 0:24:41Of course.
0:24:41 > 0:24:44References, qualifications, health and safety stuff.
0:24:46 > 0:24:48?40 an hour? Mm-mm.
0:24:48 > 0:24:50When we charge that?
0:24:50 > 0:24:52How else do you expect the company to make money?
0:24:58 > 0:25:01PHONE RINGS
0:25:03 > 0:25:05Hi, love.
0:25:05 > 0:25:07How was your day off uni?
0:25:07 > 0:25:09No, I've been busy.
0:25:09 > 0:25:12I've been very busy, actually. I had an interview.
0:25:12 > 0:25:14Can I ring you back later?
0:25:14 > 0:25:16I've got to sort some stuff out.
0:25:16 > 0:25:18I start tomorrow.
0:25:18 > 0:25:19Yeah, later.
0:25:25 > 0:25:28And just there, under your bank details, your signature.
0:25:29 > 0:25:31And this one is to say that you're happy
0:25:31 > 0:25:33to undertake the role you've been offered.
0:25:33 > 0:25:35Oh, I happy.
0:25:35 > 0:25:38Yeah, you need to sign to say that you're happy, that you agree.
0:25:38 > 0:25:40Maybe you should read it first.
0:25:44 > 0:25:47Do you know, I've never got my head round the huge difference
0:25:47 > 0:25:49in the health care systems of different countries.
0:25:49 > 0:25:52How does it compare in the Ukraine to here?
0:25:52 > 0:25:54Of course.
0:25:54 > 0:25:58And sympathetic care, is that still the same if you're diagnosed
0:25:58 > 0:26:00with something say, like, cancer?
0:26:00 > 0:26:02No, no.
0:26:02 > 0:26:04How's it different?
0:26:05 > 0:26:09Uh... Cancer diagnosis Ukraine.
0:26:11 > 0:26:13Depending on particle cancer,
0:26:13 > 0:26:15how it progress.
0:26:18 > 0:26:19Right.
0:26:20 > 0:26:22I'll just be a tick.
0:26:25 > 0:26:27KNOCK ON DOOR
0:26:27 > 0:26:30Have you got a moment? Sure.
0:26:30 > 0:26:34It's about a candidate. Dr Shevchuk.
0:26:34 > 0:26:37We are having some difficulties communication-wise.
0:26:37 > 0:26:39And I can't seem to find any evidence
0:26:39 > 0:26:41of his professional language assessment.
0:26:41 > 0:26:43He's finding it hard to understand me
0:26:43 > 0:26:46and I am struggling with him a bit, to be honest.
0:26:51 > 0:26:53Yes, it's here.
0:26:53 > 0:26:54He's passed.
0:26:54 > 0:26:57Now, his bedside manner might leave a bit to be desired,
0:26:57 > 0:27:00but his medical terminology is sound. Oh.
0:27:00 > 0:27:04He might be a little bit difficult to understand in a consultation.
0:27:04 > 0:27:06You could say that about a Scouse or Glaswegian medic.
0:27:06 > 0:27:07It's all in the accent.
0:27:07 > 0:27:08And St Phil's are happy,
0:27:08 > 0:27:10so, if you can get me the rest of his paperwork,
0:27:10 > 0:27:12he's starting in A tomorrow.
0:27:18 > 0:27:21Oh, saw something you'd like. Uh?
0:27:21 > 0:27:23A meteor.
0:27:25 > 0:27:27No way. Way.
0:27:27 > 0:27:29Just be yourself. You're going to be a great foster mum.
0:27:29 > 0:27:32Yeah, well, is it fun mum, sensible mum?
0:27:32 > 0:27:34I need some iodine. I was told that you'd have some.
0:27:34 > 0:27:36Well, you can't just come in and steal stuff!
0:27:36 > 0:27:39Well, you don't understand. I have to keep my side of the bargain.
0:27:39 > 0:27:40I have to do what it tells me.
0:28:10 > 0:28:11..three, four...
0:28:11 > 0:28:14One, two, three, four...
0:28:14 > 0:28:17OK, my love, I'm going to tell you how to give him mouth to mouth, OK?
0:28:17 > 0:28:20When resources stretch to breaking point,
