0:00:43 > 0:00:45Hello, I'm Ruhma. I'm here to see Alice.
0:00:45 > 0:00:47- Ah, midwife.- Yeah.
0:00:47 > 0:00:49Harriet's still on maternity leave.
0:00:49 > 0:00:52- Occupational hazard, I guess. - Yeah.- I'm Chris.
0:00:52 > 0:00:55- Sorry about the mess. - Oh, I don't mind.
0:00:55 > 0:00:58We've got the builders in. Well, one builder - gets everywhere.
0:00:58 > 0:01:01- Alice is upstairs. - Right...
0:01:02 > 0:01:04- KNOCK AT DOOR - Yeah?
0:01:04 > 0:01:05Hey, Alice. How are you doing?
0:01:05 > 0:01:07Please do not get up.
0:01:07 > 0:01:08No danger of that.
0:01:08 > 0:01:11I'm really sorry I didn't come in - I've just not been getting out all that much.
0:01:11 > 0:01:13Please, don't worry about it -
0:01:13 > 0:01:15you've got an extra passenger on the bus.
0:01:15 > 0:01:17So, shall we get on with it?
0:01:17 > 0:01:18Chris, are you staying?
0:01:18 > 0:01:19We're not together.
0:01:19 > 0:01:21Oh, right. I'm sorry.
0:01:21 > 0:01:23- We used to be. - Chris still lives here.
0:01:23 > 0:01:24It's a bit unusual.
0:01:24 > 0:01:27Oh, no, I've seen every kind of living arrangement under the sun.
0:01:27 > 0:01:29Sorry I'm late, babe. Did I miss anything?
0:01:29 > 0:01:30- Hi, I'm Steve.- Oh, hello.
0:01:30 > 0:01:32Steve's the baby's dad.
0:01:32 > 0:01:34He lives here as well.
0:01:34 > 0:01:35OK...
0:01:36 > 0:01:37Anyone fancy a coffee?
0:01:44 > 0:01:45So...
0:01:45 > 0:01:47what's the plan?
0:01:47 > 0:01:49- Plan?- For today.
0:01:49 > 0:01:50Well, you tell me.
0:01:50 > 0:01:52She's getting dropped off in half an hour.
0:01:52 > 0:01:55She's your goddaughter. Why am I the one making plans?
0:01:55 > 0:01:57Because.
0:01:57 > 0:01:58Oh, well, that's much clearer.
0:01:58 > 0:02:01You were always the one who came up with the ideas when Jack and Immie were little.
0:02:01 > 0:02:04- Was I?- Yeah - days out, things to do when it was raining,
0:02:04 > 0:02:07making stuff out of cereal boxes - all that Blue Peter malarkey.
0:02:07 > 0:02:10Well, I don't... I don't remember. Sorry, I...
0:02:13 > 0:02:16I sometimes forget that you forget.
0:02:16 > 0:02:19I do remember one time that we took the kids to the zoo, and
0:02:19 > 0:02:21Immie managed to get her arm stuck
0:02:21 > 0:02:23in the railings just outside the lion cage.
0:02:23 > 0:02:26Let's not do that.
0:02:26 > 0:02:29It'll be fine. I mean, kids will play with anything, won't they?
0:02:29 > 0:02:31I mean, I remember when I was little,
0:02:31 > 0:02:34somebody gave me a peg bag off the washing line - I was happy.
0:02:34 > 0:02:37Ee, by gum, lass! At Christmas we used to get
0:02:37 > 0:02:40a lump of coal, between us, if we were lucky!
0:02:44 > 0:02:46Your blood pressure's normal.
0:02:46 > 0:02:48Now, you said that you'd been feeling breathless?
0:02:48 > 0:02:51And your heart - her heart feels funny as well.
0:02:51 > 0:02:54- Funny, how? - Sometimes it feels a bit...
0:02:54 > 0:02:58Fruity tea for Alice, and a coffee for Steve.
0:02:58 > 0:03:02- Did you tell Ruhma about your heart? - She was just about to when you came barging in.- You were saying?
0:03:02 > 0:03:05Erm, yeah...it beats really fast, and it feels fluttery
0:03:05 > 0:03:08if I go to the shops, or...I go up the stairs too quickly.
0:03:08 > 0:03:12- OK, well, let's check your pulse again.- OK.
0:03:12 > 0:03:13What's this?
0:03:13 > 0:03:16- It's the only one that was clean. - Funny how that keeps happening.
0:03:16 > 0:03:18How long have you been feeling like this, Alice?
0:03:18 > 0:03:21Couple of weeks. It comes and goes.
0:03:21 > 0:03:23Pregnancy does put the body under a lot of stress.
0:03:23 > 0:03:24It doesn't bother me.
0:03:24 > 0:03:27- Maybe if you did the washing up now and again.- I work. - Yeah, it's a little bit fast,
0:03:27 > 0:03:30and you say it happens when you over-exert yourself?
0:03:30 > 0:03:31Or if I get stressed.
0:03:31 > 0:03:33- I work too.- Yeah, right(!)
0:03:33 > 0:03:35Maybe the boys should wait outside.
0:03:46 > 0:03:47Anthony...
0:03:47 > 0:03:49I've been reading your King's Green memo.
0:03:49 > 0:03:50And?
0:03:50 > 0:03:53Well, I imagine you must have a man on the inside?
0:03:53 > 0:03:54What makes you say that?
0:03:54 > 0:03:57You can't get this kind of an insight, without...
0:03:57 > 0:03:59So... Erm, nonetheless,
0:03:59 > 0:04:01I'm very excited about seeing it this afternoon.
0:04:01 > 0:04:03- Shall we take my car? - Yeah, why not?- Great.
0:04:03 > 0:04:07- We should stop off for lunch on the way back - I know a great little gastro pub.- Sounds good.
0:04:07 > 0:04:10By the way, you should know, the partners are really impressed
0:04:10 > 0:04:14- with the great progress you've made in such a short space of time. - Thanks to you.
0:04:14 > 0:04:16You've created a leadership environment that allows the staff
0:04:16 > 0:04:18- to perform at their very best. - Well, that's kind.
0:04:18 > 0:04:20I only give credit where it's due,
0:04:20 > 0:04:22and working here...
0:04:22 > 0:04:24well, it's a gift. I feel privileged.
0:04:24 > 0:04:27- I'm really looking forward to this afternoon.- Me too.
0:04:30 > 0:04:32I didn't realise your ex was living here as well.
0:04:32 > 0:04:35That's got to be a bit awkward around the breakfast table.
0:04:35 > 0:04:37It's OK, actually.
0:04:37 > 0:04:40- Really? - Well, Steve's not that bothered,
0:04:40 > 0:04:42and it's not as if we're rubbing Chris' face in it
0:04:42 > 0:04:43by swinging from the chandeliers.
0:04:43 > 0:04:47- That hasn't happened for weeks. - THEY LAUGH
0:04:47 > 0:04:48Now...
0:04:48 > 0:04:50you mentioned about being stressed...
0:04:50 > 0:04:54Yeah. It's the building work that's the most stressful, but
0:04:54 > 0:04:56Steve says we're nearly there,
0:04:56 > 0:04:58and it'll be done by the time the baby comes.
0:04:58 > 0:04:59Steve's the builder, as well?
0:04:59 > 0:05:04Yes, he's great. He's really taking care of me.
0:05:04 > 0:05:07I think that we should get you an assessment at St Phil's.
0:05:07 > 0:05:09I'm going to contact your obstetrician
0:05:09 > 0:05:11and let Dr Clay know so he's in the loop.
0:05:11 > 0:05:14- That sounds serious. - Well, we just want to play it safe.
0:05:14 > 0:05:18They'll probably do a test, like an ECG.
0:05:18 > 0:05:20It's probably nothing to worry about.
0:05:20 > 0:05:22What's nothing to worry about?
0:05:22 > 0:05:23They want me to have tests on my heart.
0:05:23 > 0:05:26At this point in the pregnancy we like to get, well,
0:05:26 > 0:05:28we like to get as much information as possible,
0:05:28 > 0:05:30consider all the options,
0:05:30 > 0:05:32and the best approach for Alice and the baby.
0:05:32 > 0:05:35- Thank you. - Yeah, thanks a lot.
0:05:35 > 0:05:37- I'd better be getting off to work. - OK.
0:05:37 > 0:05:41- You want anything for dinner? - You choose.- OK. See you later.
0:05:42 > 0:05:46Right, you, take it easy and I'll be in touch.
0:05:46 > 0:05:48- OK...- I'll walk you out. - Thank you.
0:05:53 > 0:05:55So, do you work nearby?
0:05:55 > 0:05:56Oh, not far.
0:05:56 > 0:05:59It's great that you're around, you know, to support her.
0:05:59 > 0:06:00Why wouldn't I be?
0:06:00 > 0:06:03Well, it just happens less than you think.
0:06:04 > 0:06:07Actually, Steve, is there somewhere I can wash my hands?
0:06:07 > 0:06:09Bathroom's upstairs - first door on the left.
0:06:09 > 0:06:11Great. I'll see myself out.
0:06:11 > 0:06:12OK, it was nice to meet you.
0:06:12 > 0:06:14- Yeah, and you.- Take care.- Bye.
0:06:25 > 0:06:26Can I have a word?
0:06:26 > 0:06:27Yeah, sure.
0:06:28 > 0:06:29Please, take a seat.
0:06:29 > 0:06:31No, I'm fine, thanks.
0:06:31 > 0:06:35I was supposed to be in the back bedroom, but they decided to build a nursery, so...
0:06:35 > 0:06:38So, it...it must be a bit weird.
0:06:38 > 0:06:40You know, you being here, and they're just upstairs?
0:06:40 > 0:06:44Well, I've had to invest in some good quality earplugs, if that's what you mean.
0:06:44 > 0:06:46Ooh, yikes!
0:06:46 > 0:06:47It must be hard.
0:06:47 > 0:06:49Especially cos, well, this is your house too.
0:06:51 > 0:06:55Chris, have you thought about trying to find somewhere else to live?
0:06:55 > 0:06:57- It's complicated. - Look, I'm sure it is, but...
0:06:57 > 0:06:59but this...
0:06:59 > 0:07:00it's not good for anyone.
0:07:00 > 0:07:04Business is slow. All my money's tied up here, so I can't really afford to move anywhere.
0:07:04 > 0:07:07Cos it's only going to get harder - you know, once the baby comes.
0:07:07 > 0:07:11I mean, babies are amazing, but no-one gets any sleep.
0:07:11 > 0:07:13It can't be worse than a squeaky mattress.
0:07:13 > 0:07:15Sorry, too much information.
0:07:15 > 0:07:17Look, it's not just the money.
0:07:17 > 0:07:18Oh, right.
0:07:18 > 0:07:21Steve's got a criminal record. He's been to prison.
0:07:21 > 0:07:22What for?
0:07:22 > 0:07:24Assault.
0:07:24 > 0:07:25Has anything happened?
0:07:25 > 0:07:26No, but it might.
0:07:27 > 0:07:28Does Alice know?
0:07:28 > 0:07:32Yes, but she doesn't seem to care. I just thought, as long as I could stay here,
0:07:32 > 0:07:35then I could stop something from happening - that's why I can't leave.
0:07:38 > 0:07:41Ah...!
0:07:41 > 0:07:42This is Scarlett.
0:07:42 > 0:07:44Hello, Scarlett.
0:07:44 > 0:07:47I'm Karen. It's very nice to meet you.
0:07:47 > 0:07:49Oh, she's shy...
0:07:52 > 0:07:55MUSIC: Fiesta by The Pogues
0:08:05 > 0:08:07Move your hand up higher.
0:08:08 > 0:08:11- Feel anything? - Not yet. Maybe he's gone to sleep.
0:08:11 > 0:08:13No, I felt it just then.
0:08:13 > 0:08:15- OK, what about now? - DOOR OPENS
0:08:15 > 0:08:17Babe, have you seen my...
0:08:17 > 0:08:19Take your hands off her.
0:08:19 > 0:08:21- Steve, it's fine. - No, it's not.
0:08:21 > 0:08:24Look, when I go out, random old ladies put their hands on me.
0:08:24 > 0:08:28- You know, that's what happens when you're pregnant.- That's different.
0:08:28 > 0:08:31- I want you out the house, right now. - Steve, don't...- No, I've had enough.
0:08:31 > 0:08:35You heard what Ruhma said this morning - she doesn't need the stress, and neither do I.
0:08:35 > 0:08:38You're the one who shouldn't be here. Alice doesn't want you here, she wants me.
0:08:38 > 0:08:39- In your dreams, mate.- Tell him.
0:08:39 > 0:08:41OK, both of you, stop this. Just stop this.
0:08:41 > 0:08:43Do you see what you're doing to her?
0:08:43 > 0:08:45Right, leave now, or I'll throw you out.
0:08:45 > 0:08:47- Because you WERE a bouncer? - There's nothing wrong with that.
0:08:47 > 0:08:50- There is, the way you do it - I know you were in prison.- Big deal!
0:08:50 > 0:08:53Alice knows all about that. I'm different now.
0:08:53 > 0:08:55It's mine, not yours.
0:08:55 > 0:08:56- What?- Don't.
0:08:56 > 0:08:57You really are deluded.
0:08:57 > 0:08:59When you were working away in Newcastle.
0:08:59 > 0:09:02Yes, that's right. Maths isn't really your strong point, is it?
0:09:02 > 0:09:04Oh, looks like you haven't changed at all.
0:09:04 > 0:09:06You stay away from her! Alice...!
0:09:06 > 0:09:08No, YOU stay away from her!
0:09:08 > 0:09:12I'm calling an ambulance, and the police, and I'll tell them you attacked us, you animal!
0:09:12 > 0:09:15Who do you think they're going to believe? You or me?
0:09:17 > 0:09:18Ah!
0:09:20 > 0:09:21Have you seen her?
0:09:21 > 0:09:24- Have you lost her again? - Well, we are playing hide and seek.
0:09:24 > 0:09:26Oh, let her hide. We'll enjoy the peace and quiet.
0:09:27 > 0:09:30- We need to get out the house. - Evacuate, you mean?
0:09:30 > 0:09:32This isn't working. Let's take her down the park.
0:09:32 > 0:09:34Feed the ducks, or something.
0:09:34 > 0:09:36I'll call animal welfare.
0:09:36 > 0:09:38Scarlett?
0:09:38 > 0:09:40Scarlett?!
0:09:42 > 0:09:45- Anthony. - Adrian, good to see you.
0:09:45 > 0:09:49- Adrian Willis, Daniel Granger. This is the senior partner. - Good to meet you.
0:09:49 > 0:09:52You're ahead of the game. No-one else is even booked in yet.
0:09:52 > 0:09:54- Anthony pulled some strings. - Yes...
0:09:54 > 0:09:56he does that.
0:09:56 > 0:09:57Do you play golf?
0:09:57 > 0:09:59- Yeah. - What are you doing tomorrow?
0:09:59 > 0:10:02- I can tell you a few things about this place on the QT. - Sounds perfect.
0:10:02 > 0:10:04Good. We'll set it up. Enjoy the tour.
0:10:04 > 0:10:05Thanks, Adrian.
0:10:07 > 0:10:08Your man on the inside, by any chance?
0:10:08 > 0:10:11Terrible golfer. Nice chap, though. Been very helpful.
0:10:13 > 0:10:15When did the mural go?
0:10:15 > 0:10:19Yesterday. Anthony decided to go all DIY SOS.
0:10:19 > 0:10:20Ooh...
0:10:20 > 0:10:21How did that go down?
0:10:21 > 0:10:24Well, it would have been nice if he'd asked.
0:10:24 > 0:10:26Well, he is the practice manager,
0:10:26 > 0:10:30and it was either that or he has to get someone to paint in us newbies.
0:10:30 > 0:10:33I suppose.
0:10:33 > 0:10:35Sorry, we're closed.
0:10:35 > 0:10:37I need to talk to Ruhma. She's my girlfriend's midwife.
0:10:37 > 0:10:40Well, you'll have to come back after four.
0:10:42 > 0:10:43I need to talk to her!
0:10:43 > 0:10:44Who is it?
0:10:44 > 0:10:47Some bloke who says he wants to talk to you.
0:10:47 > 0:10:48I know him.
0:10:54 > 0:10:57- Hey, Steve. What's hap...?- I need to talk to you now.- OK. Where's Alice?
0:10:57 > 0:10:59She's at the hospital.
0:10:59 > 0:11:02Steve, what's happened to your hand?
0:11:02 > 0:11:03Have you been talking to Chris?
0:11:03 > 0:11:07- I think you should go. - Look, he just wants to make trouble for me, all right?
0:11:07 > 0:11:09Alice is my patient, not you, and I'd really like you to go.
0:11:09 > 0:11:11I didn't do anything!
0:11:11 > 0:11:12Erm, don't shout!
0:11:12 > 0:11:14I'm just trying to explain it to her.
0:11:14 > 0:11:18- Right, well, you're going to have to calm down. - But you're not listening to me!
0:11:18 > 0:11:19No, you're not listening,
0:11:19 > 0:11:22and if you don't calm down I'm going to have to call the police.
0:11:25 > 0:11:28- All right.- OK? - Yeah...all right.
0:11:31 > 0:11:33Why is Alice in hospital?
0:11:33 > 0:11:36It...it was her heart. She got dizzy and faint...
0:11:38 > 0:11:40It was scary.
0:11:40 > 0:11:42Why don't we take a look at that hand?
0:11:44 > 0:11:45Go on.
0:11:48 > 0:11:49Just take a seat.
0:11:58 > 0:12:00It was a door.
0:12:00 > 0:12:01Ouch.
0:12:01 > 0:12:03Yeah,
0:12:03 > 0:12:04it's pretty sturdy.
0:12:04 > 0:12:06I should have known better, I'm the one that put it in.
0:12:06 > 0:12:09Did you hit anything else?
0:12:09 > 0:12:10No.
0:12:10 > 0:12:12I wanted to, but...
0:12:12 > 0:12:14I don't fancy going back to prison.
0:12:14 > 0:12:15Good call.
0:12:15 > 0:12:17I go to therapy.
0:12:17 > 0:12:19Anger management, once a week.
0:12:19 > 0:12:20I'm trying...
0:12:21 > 0:12:23..but I think I've blown it with Alice.
0:12:23 > 0:12:25She was really upset.
0:12:25 > 0:12:26What happened, Steve?
0:12:26 > 0:12:29Oh, just Chris said that he's the baby's dad.
0:12:29 > 0:12:32Is that why you're here, for a paternity test?
0:12:32 > 0:12:34No...no, if Alice says that I'm the dad,
0:12:34 > 0:12:37then that's good enough for me.
0:12:37 > 0:12:40- I just want you to tell her that I'll be a good dad. - Well, no offence, Steve -
0:12:40 > 0:12:41I don't know you.
0:12:41 > 0:12:45No, but...you've seen worse, right? I mean, you said yourself, I'm supportive.
0:12:45 > 0:12:48I think you need to go to the hospital and talk to her.
0:12:48 > 0:12:50I don't think she'll listen to me.
0:12:50 > 0:12:51Well, if you don't go...
0:12:51 > 0:12:52you won't know.
0:12:53 > 0:12:58You might want to try changing your shirt too, it's a little bit grubby!
0:12:58 > 0:13:00Good point.
0:13:00 > 0:13:01It's huge.
0:13:01 > 0:13:03This dead space could be a whole other consulting room.
0:13:03 > 0:13:06It could. Mind you, you should see...
0:13:06 > 0:13:08Mrs Tembe, how are you?
0:13:08 > 0:13:11Ah, I'm very well, thank you, Dr Granger.
0:13:11 > 0:13:14- Mr Harker.- Mrs Tembe.
0:13:14 > 0:13:19- You our guide today? - Well, now Mr Goddard has left, I am the new acting practice manager.
0:13:19 > 0:13:22Wow, there's no stopping you, is there?
0:13:22 > 0:13:25Now, how is Dr Carmichael after her party?
0:13:25 > 0:13:29Well, you know what? When everyone had left she started redecorating...
0:13:29 > 0:13:32- KNOCK AT DOOR - Yeah?- Hey...
0:13:32 > 0:13:33how are you doing?
0:13:33 > 0:13:37I'm feeling better. I met the consultant,
0:13:37 > 0:13:41and they gave me an ECG, so I'm just waiting on the results now.
0:13:41 > 0:13:42Well, that's good news.
0:13:44 > 0:13:46So, what happened?
0:13:46 > 0:13:50Chris and Steve had an argument. It got pretty heated.
0:13:50 > 0:13:51How heated?
0:13:52 > 0:13:54Chris wanted to call the police.
0:13:54 > 0:13:55I persuaded him not to.
0:13:57 > 0:13:59Does Steve have a temper?
0:13:59 > 0:14:01He got into trouble when he was young, but...
0:14:02 > 0:14:05..Chris is always trying to wind him up.
0:14:05 > 0:14:06I mean...
0:14:06 > 0:14:08He hasn't even ever shouted at me.
0:14:08 > 0:14:10Never?
0:14:10 > 0:14:11Once,
0:14:11 > 0:14:14when I took his good screwdriver and stirred a tin of paint.
0:14:16 > 0:14:18So you think he'd make a good dad?
0:14:18 > 0:14:19Of course.
0:14:19 > 0:14:21He's never lost it like that before.
0:14:24 > 0:14:26Right, well...
0:14:26 > 0:14:27I think my advice would be,
0:14:27 > 0:14:30you need to think about your living situation.
0:14:30 > 0:14:31I know.
0:14:31 > 0:14:35You need to get tough and you need to tell Chris it's time to go.
0:14:35 > 0:14:37I can't do that.
0:14:37 > 0:14:39Why?
0:14:39 > 0:14:42It's complicated. We've got history.
0:14:42 > 0:14:44OK, well, you move out.
0:14:44 > 0:14:45Get a flat with Steve.
0:14:45 > 0:14:46We'd lose the house.
0:14:49 > 0:14:51Steve's practically paying the mortgage.
0:14:51 > 0:14:54I mean, he can't pay that and pay rent.
0:14:54 > 0:14:55We're just stuck.
0:14:55 > 0:14:57Steve's paying the mortgage?
0:14:57 > 0:14:59Well, his rent covers it.
0:14:59 > 0:15:01You know...I can't work because of this,
0:15:01 > 0:15:03and Chris is trying, but he's skint, so...
0:15:03 > 0:15:05Right. Well, then you sell the place.
0:15:05 > 0:15:07No, we've just had work done.
0:15:07 > 0:15:09I love that house.
0:15:09 > 0:15:11And, anyway, by the time we've split the money
0:15:11 > 0:15:14and then we've settled the mortgage, there's just not going to be
0:15:14 > 0:15:16enough for us or Chris to buy anywhere else.
0:15:16 > 0:15:19Alice, you... you need to make a decision.
0:15:19 > 0:15:20OK?
0:15:20 > 0:15:21The house...
0:15:21 > 0:15:23or your relationship with Steve.
0:15:24 > 0:15:26You've got a baby coming.
0:15:26 > 0:15:31You can't put off making this choice for ever.
0:15:31 > 0:15:33I'm going to chase up the test results.
0:15:33 > 0:15:34You think about it.
0:15:38 > 0:15:40Say cheese!
0:15:40 > 0:15:41- ALL:- Cheese!
0:15:42 > 0:15:43CAMERA SNAPS
0:15:46 > 0:15:47What do you want to do now?
0:15:47 > 0:15:48Go on the slide.
0:15:48 > 0:15:50Go on the slide?
0:15:50 > 0:15:52Right, then you should...
0:15:52 > 0:15:54you should go on the slide.
0:15:54 > 0:15:55One, two, three,
0:15:55 > 0:15:57wahey!
0:15:57 > 0:15:58Be careful.
0:16:00 > 0:16:02Hey...
0:16:02 > 0:16:05come and have a look at this!
0:16:05 > 0:16:07Aw, lovely.
0:16:07 > 0:16:09You've got the look of a serial killer about you,
0:16:09 > 0:16:11but she looks very sweet.
0:16:11 > 0:16:14I can't wait to put it online, show Jack and Immie.
0:16:14 > 0:16:16No, you can't do that.
0:16:16 > 0:16:19Are you so vain that you don't want people to see you with your goddaughter?
0:16:19 > 0:16:22Karen, you can never put any photographs of Scarlett
0:16:22 > 0:16:23on the internet.
0:16:23 > 0:16:26- Why not? - She's a protected child.
0:16:26 > 0:16:27If her birth parents were to see them,
0:16:27 > 0:16:29they might want to make contact.
0:16:29 > 0:16:32But they're not going to see, are they, if it's on my timeline?
0:16:32 > 0:16:35No, but the rules in a case like this are really strict.
0:16:35 > 0:16:37- What are you not telling me? - Nothing.
0:16:37 > 0:16:42All I know is that Scarlett was taken from her birth parents,
0:16:42 > 0:16:45so there must have been a good reason.
0:16:45 > 0:16:46Like what?
0:16:46 > 0:16:47I don't know, honestly.
0:16:47 > 0:16:49And it's probably best that way.
0:16:58 > 0:16:59He's just on his way.
0:17:04 > 0:17:05Is Chris the dad?
0:17:06 > 0:17:07Yeah.
0:17:09 > 0:17:12So when were you going to tell Steve?
0:17:12 > 0:17:14Well, I wanted to.
0:17:14 > 0:17:16But you needed him to carry on paying the mortgage.
0:17:16 > 0:17:18No...
0:17:18 > 0:17:20I-I didn't mean for that to happen.
0:17:20 > 0:17:22- It wasn't my idea. - What does that mean?
0:17:22 > 0:17:25Well, I tried to tell him this morning, but you got so stressed you blacked out.
0:17:25 > 0:17:28Well, it wasn't the right time. You don't have to be so cruel about it.
0:17:28 > 0:17:29I wanted to tell him weeks ago,
0:17:29 > 0:17:33- but you said if he didn't pay the mortgage we'd lose the house. - You said that?- No.
0:17:33 > 0:17:35Yes...
0:17:35 > 0:17:39that's not the only reason. I care about Steve, too.
0:17:39 > 0:17:41I thought Chris and I were over,
0:17:41 > 0:17:45and so Steve and I started seeing each other, and
0:17:45 > 0:17:48he offered to work on the house - that was HIS idea...
0:17:48 > 0:17:51and he was staying over anyway, so...
0:17:51 > 0:17:53I asked Chris if he'd mind if he moved in.
0:17:53 > 0:17:56- What was I supposed to say? - Well, how about the truth?
0:17:56 > 0:17:59I'd never seen Chris that jealous before.
0:17:59 > 0:18:03When Steve was away, he came into my room one night and told me,
0:18:03 > 0:18:05and that's when it happened.
0:18:05 > 0:18:08And so you carried on seeing him behind Steve's back?
0:18:08 > 0:18:10I didn't want to hurt him.
0:18:10 > 0:18:13You didn't want to lose the house, Alice.
0:18:13 > 0:18:15You're making this sound much worse than it really is.
0:18:15 > 0:18:16How can it be any worse?
0:18:16 > 0:18:18Steve thinks he's going to be a dad!
0:18:18 > 0:18:21It took us so long to find that house.
0:18:21 > 0:18:22Do you remember?
0:18:22 > 0:18:25And when we saw it, we just had to have it!
0:18:25 > 0:18:28Right. I think that you need to tell Steve what's going on.
0:18:28 > 0:18:30- But, I... - Are you sure Chris is the dad?
0:18:32 > 0:18:33The dates match.
0:18:34 > 0:18:37You'd better hope that the anger management sessions are going well,
0:18:37 > 0:18:39because if I was in his shoes...
0:18:50 > 0:18:53Watch your head. Haven't done this for a long time...
0:18:58 > 0:18:59Oh...
0:18:59 > 0:19:01nearly forgot. There you are, OK?
0:19:01 > 0:19:02Bye-bye.
0:19:07 > 0:19:08Bye-bye!
0:19:19 > 0:19:22Excuse me, I'm looking for Alice Chaykin.
0:19:22 > 0:19:23Do you know where you're going?
0:19:23 > 0:19:24- No.- If you go down...
0:19:25 > 0:19:27- How is she? - Erm, yeah...she's, erm...
0:19:27 > 0:19:29- She's fine.- Oh, great.
0:19:29 > 0:19:31Erm, sorry I can't tell you any more -
0:19:31 > 0:19:33it's patient confidentiality.
0:19:33 > 0:19:36Oh, yeah. Erm, listen...
0:19:36 > 0:19:38thanks for everything.
0:19:40 > 0:19:41She's got a visitor.
0:19:41 > 0:19:44- Who, the police?- No, he...
0:19:44 > 0:19:46he didn't call them.
0:19:46 > 0:19:47Chris, then?
0:19:49 > 0:19:51What's he doing here?
0:19:52 > 0:19:54You know something, don't you?
0:19:54 > 0:19:57I think you should talk to her.
0:19:58 > 0:20:00- Right...- Steve...
0:20:00 > 0:20:02You said that you had changed, so...
0:20:02 > 0:20:04now would be a good time to prove it.
0:20:19 > 0:20:21Apparently we need to have a chat...
0:20:23 > 0:20:25..but the look on your faces says it all.
0:20:25 > 0:20:28- Maybe I should leave.- Why change the habit of a lifetime, eh?
0:20:28 > 0:20:31- There's a security guard outside... - Oh, yeah? Good for you.
0:20:34 > 0:20:35Well?
0:20:39 > 0:20:41I'm sorry.
0:20:46 > 0:20:48So, w-w-what was I, cheap labour?
0:20:48 > 0:20:51No. I mean, I know how it looks...
0:20:51 > 0:20:54No, you have no idea how this looks. You two...
0:20:54 > 0:20:58you think you're so clever, with your books and your degrees, and...
0:20:58 > 0:21:02- You're the animals here!- Steve...! - No, don't call him back.
0:21:05 > 0:21:06I'm impressed.
0:21:06 > 0:21:08Anthony's talked me through the set-up.
0:21:08 > 0:21:11- But you only get a real idea when you see for yourself.- Yeah...
0:21:11 > 0:21:12exactly.
0:21:12 > 0:21:16The larger consulting rooms, the dedicated room to minor surgery -
0:21:16 > 0:21:17I know someone at the Mill who'd be jealous.
0:21:17 > 0:21:21I thought of Dr Carter as soon as I saw it.
0:21:21 > 0:21:23Let me just give you some background.
0:21:23 > 0:21:25I think we know most of what you have to say, but it
0:21:25 > 0:21:29- would be good to have it summarised. - KNOCK AT DOOR
0:21:29 > 0:21:30Can I sit in?
0:21:30 > 0:21:31Oh, well, erm...
0:21:31 > 0:21:34Dr Willis, I would prefer if you didn't.
0:21:34 > 0:21:35We don't mind.
0:21:35 > 0:21:37I am a partner, I have a useful perspective.
0:21:37 > 0:21:40I'm sure you are aware we are short-staffed,
0:21:40 > 0:21:42and you must have patients to attend to?
0:21:42 > 0:21:45- I thought... - Thank you, Dr Willis.
0:21:46 > 0:21:50I'll call you, Anthony... about tomorrow.
0:21:50 > 0:21:52Thanks, Adrian. I look forward to it.
0:21:55 > 0:21:57That's a shame. I know Adrian, he's a superb doctor.
0:21:57 > 0:21:58Oh, I agree,
0:21:58 > 0:22:02but we have to talk about the staffing situation,
0:22:02 > 0:22:06which has not been as beautifully maintained as our facilities.
0:22:06 > 0:22:08- If you say so.- I do.
0:22:10 > 0:22:13One partner has retired,
0:22:13 > 0:22:16another is about to,
0:22:16 > 0:22:19and the GPs that should succeed them
0:22:19 > 0:22:23have departed, along with our practice manager.
0:22:23 > 0:22:25The remaining GPs, well, they are...
0:22:25 > 0:22:29they are not suitable candidates for the partnership.
0:22:31 > 0:22:34Dr Willis knows this,
0:22:34 > 0:22:37and in order to protect his investment,
0:22:37 > 0:22:39he will give you the hard sell...
0:22:40 > 0:22:42..whereas I believe
0:22:42 > 0:22:44it is in all our interests
0:22:44 > 0:22:46if I give you the facts,
0:22:46 > 0:22:48all of them,
0:22:48 > 0:22:49good
0:22:49 > 0:22:51or bad.
0:22:51 > 0:22:54That way you are under no illusion,
0:22:54 > 0:22:57and you can make an informed decision.
0:22:57 > 0:22:59OK.
0:22:59 > 0:23:00We're listening.
0:23:50 > 0:23:51Hello?
0:23:53 > 0:23:55Steve? Hello?
0:23:55 > 0:23:56Good riddance.
0:23:56 > 0:23:57Don't say that.
0:23:57 > 0:23:59Maybe we should sell it.
0:23:59 > 0:24:00How can you say that?
0:24:00 > 0:24:01It's just a house.
0:24:01 > 0:24:04All I care about is you and the baby.
0:24:04 > 0:24:06I'm so sorry I put you through this.
0:24:09 > 0:24:11We can be happy here, I know it.
0:24:13 > 0:24:15Ooh! Why is it so cold?
0:24:15 > 0:24:17Maybe there's a window open.
0:24:27 > 0:24:28Chris?
0:24:31 > 0:24:33- He's gone. - He's taken all of his stuff.
0:24:35 > 0:24:36- Right... - No, all of it -
0:24:36 > 0:24:40the window he put in, the wall he built...
0:24:50 > 0:24:52THUNDER CRACKS
0:24:54 > 0:24:57Another way to increase the revenue stream is
0:24:57 > 0:24:59to introduce a dispensary.
0:24:59 > 0:25:01Interesting idea.
0:25:01 > 0:25:04Well, there is room for expansion here. There is not at the Mill.
0:25:04 > 0:25:07A dispensary would benefit both practices.
0:25:07 > 0:25:09It would.
0:25:09 > 0:25:13Once we have increased the QOF figures, and...
0:25:13 > 0:25:17we'll reduce the practice's dependency on locums,
0:25:17 > 0:25:21well, I think the situation can be settled at King's Green within...
0:25:21 > 0:25:23six months to a year.
0:25:23 > 0:25:25Thank you, Mrs Tembe.
0:25:25 > 0:25:27She's certainly given us a lot to think about.
0:25:27 > 0:25:29Yes, you have.
0:25:29 > 0:25:33I have to make it clear that....
0:25:33 > 0:25:37I will be conducting this process without favouritism.
0:25:37 > 0:25:40All interested parties will have the same analysis,
0:25:40 > 0:25:42and I imagine there will be several.
0:25:42 > 0:25:45I'd expect nothing less.
0:25:45 > 0:25:46What do you think?
0:25:48 > 0:25:49Very impressive.
0:25:49 > 0:25:50Now, having said that,
0:25:50 > 0:25:54the one thing that all the partners favour with this opportunity
0:25:54 > 0:25:58is the chance of bringing you back into the family, Mrs Tembe.
0:25:58 > 0:26:01Thank you, Dr Granger. That means a great deal.
0:26:01 > 0:26:04Clearly you're flourishing in your new position,
0:26:04 > 0:26:08and I feel that with you and Anthony both working in our interests,
0:26:08 > 0:26:11there would be no limits to what we can achieve.
0:26:13 > 0:26:15Well, I've certainly learnt
0:26:15 > 0:26:19many business lessons working with Mr Harker,
0:26:19 > 0:26:23and I can honestly say without his assistance,
0:26:23 > 0:26:26I would not be where I am now.
0:26:35 > 0:26:38Oh, Skipper! What have you done now?!
0:26:38 > 0:26:40Whatever it is, you need to plan ahead.
0:26:40 > 0:26:42I am. Have you thought about moving in?
0:26:42 > 0:26:43Your timing is terrible.
0:26:43 > 0:26:47I'd feel like I was abandoning a sinking ship.
0:26:47 > 0:26:49Scott Duckenfield - Sendo TV?
0:26:49 > 0:26:51We're going to have to submit a knockout proposal.
0:26:51 > 0:26:53We can do that with bells on.
0:26:53 > 0:26:54Alan, call Skipper off!
