0:00:40 > 0:00:42DOG WHINES
0:00:42 > 0:00:44Skipper?
0:00:47 > 0:00:49Where are you, boy?
0:00:52 > 0:00:53Oh!
0:00:58 > 0:00:59Aah!
0:01:02 > 0:01:04DOG WHINES
0:01:12 > 0:01:14Oh, Skipper! What have you done now?!
0:01:15 > 0:01:17Ah!
0:01:17 > 0:01:21You're missing your mum, aren't you? Me too.
0:01:25 > 0:01:27Stop staring.
0:01:28 > 0:01:31You're beautiful first thing in the morning.
0:01:32 > 0:01:33Why are you being nice?
0:01:35 > 0:01:38Just being reassuring.
0:01:39 > 0:01:42Why do I need reassurance?
0:01:42 > 0:01:44You don't...
0:01:44 > 0:01:45Oh!
0:01:45 > 0:01:47- SHE LAUGHS - Your face!
0:01:47 > 0:01:50You're going to make me late for work!
0:01:50 > 0:01:53And before you ask, I don't need my back scrubbing.
0:01:53 > 0:01:56You wait till I get you to Stratford!
0:01:58 > 0:02:00HE HUMS A TUNE
0:02:02 > 0:02:05- What?- You.
0:02:05 > 0:02:08- What?!- Smug. More than usually smug.
0:02:10 > 0:02:13Well...yeah, things are going well, so, why not?
0:02:13 > 0:02:15Pride comes before a fall.
0:02:15 > 0:02:18- Seriously? - I'm all for feeling self-satisfied,
0:02:18 > 0:02:21but just try not to broadcast it too much.
0:02:21 > 0:02:23That, coming from you?
0:02:23 > 0:02:26I have no idea what you're talking about.
0:02:31 > 0:02:33SHE HUMS A TUNE
0:02:37 > 0:02:40Ooh! Is it all right to pinch a bit of fruit for my break?
0:02:40 > 0:02:41My house is your house.
0:02:41 > 0:02:44Mm-hm. Right, I'll have an apple, a pear,
0:02:44 > 0:02:46and, while we're on the subject,
0:02:46 > 0:02:48you can slice this on your bran flakes.
0:02:48 > 0:02:51Oh, I'd give anything for a fresh croissant and some strawberry jam.
0:02:51 > 0:02:53Ah, it's a tough life.
0:02:56 > 0:02:59- You look so at home here.- Hm!
0:02:59 > 0:03:01So, when are you going back to work?
0:03:01 > 0:03:04I'm not coming back while Anthony is still in charge.
0:03:04 > 0:03:06All right, but if the partners have made a decision,
0:03:06 > 0:03:08you need to think about your future.
0:03:08 > 0:03:10- I'm not going to retire. - You wouldn't have to.
0:03:10 > 0:03:13You could teach, you could be a locum, you could retrain.
0:03:13 > 0:03:16Whatever is it, you need to plan ahead.
0:03:16 > 0:03:17I am. Have you thought about moving in?
0:03:17 > 0:03:19Oh, your timing is terrible.
0:03:19 > 0:03:21Well, let's talk about it at lunch.
0:03:21 > 0:03:25OK, fine, fine, fine. Right, I'll see you later.
0:03:25 > 0:03:27Mm! Nice. Banana(!)
0:03:28 > 0:03:30- SHE HUMS A TUNE - Banana!
0:03:30 > 0:03:33Well, it was an enlightening visit to King's Green, wasn't it?
0:03:33 > 0:03:35Mrs Tembe was a revelation.
0:03:35 > 0:03:36Yes. It was quite a performance.
0:03:36 > 0:03:39We definitely need to keep her in a senior position.
0:03:39 > 0:03:41Whoa, let's not get ahead of ourselves.
0:03:41 > 0:03:43There's been a lot of miscommunication lately,
0:03:43 > 0:03:44which wouldn't have happened on her watch.
0:03:44 > 0:03:47- I think that's slightly overstating things a little.- I don't.
0:03:47 > 0:03:50- I also think it'll help the situation with Heston.- How so?
0:03:50 > 0:03:53If Mrs Tembe's in a position of influence,
0:03:53 > 0:03:55then she might be able to persuade him to come back.
0:03:55 > 0:03:56Let's slow down.
0:03:56 > 0:03:59I think it's too soon to be discussing the minutiae.
0:03:59 > 0:04:00Minutiae?
0:04:00 > 0:04:02Sorry. Unfortunate choice of words.
0:04:02 > 0:04:04I meant, the merger hasn't happened yet.
0:04:04 > 0:04:06It's too soon to discuss details.
0:04:06 > 0:04:08So stop cantering on ahead.
0:04:08 > 0:04:11I think we can discuss Jimmi's and anybody else's ideas
0:04:11 > 0:04:13as and when the time comes. Agreed?
0:04:13 > 0:04:14100%.
0:04:18 > 0:04:19- DOORBELL - Coming!
0:04:22 > 0:04:24DOG BARKS
0:04:28 > 0:04:31I'm sorry, it takes me a while to get to the door.
0:04:31 > 0:04:33- Not a problem, sir. Mr Swann, is it? - Yes.
0:04:33 > 0:04:37Scott Duckenfield, Sendo TV. About your box.
0:04:37 > 0:04:39Oh, yes, of course. Come in.
0:04:39 > 0:04:42- DOG BARKS - It's all right, Skipper.
0:04:42 > 0:04:46The, er...the dog's made a bit of a mess of the place.
0:04:46 > 0:04:48Oh, it's all right. I've got a dog myself.
0:04:48 > 0:04:52- Sometimes you wonder who owns who. - Yeah, you're right there.
0:04:52 > 0:04:53So you say you've got no picture at all?
0:04:53 > 0:04:56No, not a peep. And I'm lost without my telly.
0:04:56 > 0:04:59No worries. I'll soon get it sorted for you.
0:04:59 > 0:05:02Ah, thanks. It's Alan, by the way.
0:05:02 > 0:05:03Nice to meet you.
0:05:03 > 0:05:06There are bound to be other interested parties, all big fish.
0:05:06 > 0:05:08You think we can beat that level of competition?
0:05:08 > 0:05:11We're going to have submit a knockout proposal.
0:05:11 > 0:05:12We can do that with bells on.
0:05:12 > 0:05:14That's all it's going to take?
0:05:14 > 0:05:16We've got the talent, we're forward-thinking.
0:05:16 > 0:05:19- But we don't have lots of money. - It's not all about money.
0:05:19 > 0:05:21We're kidding ourselves, surely.
0:05:21 > 0:05:24That kind of defeatist attitude gets us absolutely nowhere.
0:05:24 > 0:05:26I can't promise any easy answers,
0:05:26 > 0:05:29but I can reveal we've got some useful contacts.
0:05:29 > 0:05:32Anthony and I are playing golf
0:05:32 > 0:05:34with a King's Green partner this afternoon.
0:05:35 > 0:05:36Golf?
0:05:39 > 0:05:41Oh. Hi, Ayesha. I'm running a bit late,
0:05:41 > 0:05:44- so would you mind grabbing me a sandwich or something?- 'What kind?'
0:05:44 > 0:05:46Anything. Oh! Except prawn cocktail
0:05:46 > 0:05:48and...and not ham. It's not real.
0:05:48 > 0:05:51- 'What are you talking about, fantasy ham?' - No, I mean it's reconstituted...
0:05:51 > 0:05:54Anyway, I'll leave it with you. Cheers.
0:05:54 > 0:05:57- Here to see Alan?- Yeah, that's it.
0:05:57 > 0:05:59- Dead.- Sorry?
0:05:59 > 0:06:02Alan's box. Got to fit a new one. He's in the kitchen.
0:06:03 > 0:06:05Thank you.
0:06:15 > 0:06:17Alan.
0:06:17 > 0:06:18Oh, I...
0:06:18 > 0:06:19wasn't expecting you, Doctor.
0:06:19 > 0:06:23Um...Karen rang last week to arrange a visit.
0:06:24 > 0:06:28Oh, yes. Oh, I'm sorry. I should write these things down.
0:06:28 > 0:06:32Not to worry. Only you have been cancelling appointments lately,
0:06:32 > 0:06:34so I just wanted to come by and make sure you're OK.
0:06:34 > 0:06:37- DOG BARKS - Argh!
0:06:40 > 0:06:42DOG BARKS
0:06:44 > 0:06:47OK. Just keep very still, all right? Er...
0:06:47 > 0:06:50Alan, call Skipper off.
0:06:50 > 0:06:53He has never done anything like this ever before in his life!
0:06:53 > 0:06:54Something must have happened!
0:06:54 > 0:06:57All I did was plug in your box! Get him out!
0:06:57 > 0:07:00Come on, Skipper, come on. Away, away!
0:07:02 > 0:07:03Put him back in the garden, or...
0:07:03 > 0:07:07Right, I need to have a look at that ear.
0:07:09 > 0:07:10- Where are you going?- To my next job.
0:07:10 > 0:07:13Just stop and think for a moment, OK? You've just had a shock.
0:07:16 > 0:07:17HE SIGHS
0:07:17 > 0:07:19Winnie the Wig was in good form, wasn't she?
0:07:19 > 0:07:21- ANTHONY CHUCKLES - Who?
0:07:21 > 0:07:25- Oh, keep up.- It's just our practice's pet name for her.
0:07:25 > 0:07:27Oh, right. Does she know?
0:07:27 > 0:07:30- Are you kidding?- She'd have your guts for garters! If she wore any.
0:07:30 > 0:07:32Don't get me wrong, she's a fantastic woman
0:07:32 > 0:07:35and what she lacks in style, she makes up for in efficiency.
0:07:35 > 0:07:38So, let's get this show on the road, shall we?
0:07:41 > 0:07:43- Just play along, Daniel.- No problem.
0:07:46 > 0:07:50Well, um...the good news is, your ear's not going to fall off.
0:07:50 > 0:07:53Hear that, Jason? I'm not going to lose my ear.
0:07:53 > 0:07:55But you are going to need stitches and a tetanus,
0:07:55 > 0:07:58- so you do need to go to A&E.- Oh, no!
0:08:00 > 0:08:02I've got to go to hospital. I'll drop the van off later.
0:08:02 > 0:08:05- Um...Scott?- Hang on. What?!
0:08:05 > 0:08:08- There's no way you can drive now. - You are kidding me?!
0:08:10 > 0:08:12Someone'll have to come and pick the van up.
0:08:12 > 0:08:14Sorry, mate.
0:08:15 > 0:08:17I'll keep you posted. Cheers.
0:08:19 > 0:08:21- That's half a day's pay gone! - I'm sorry.
0:08:22 > 0:08:24But the sooner that gets sorted, the better.
0:08:24 > 0:08:26I'd like you to hold some sterile dressing on it
0:08:26 > 0:08:28until we get you there.
0:08:36 > 0:08:37HE SIGHS
0:08:43 > 0:08:45You all right, Alan?
0:08:46 > 0:08:50I don't understand it. He's...he's always been so friendly.
0:08:50 > 0:08:52- Haven't you heard of dog training?! - You should be resting.
0:08:52 > 0:08:54You knew he was out of control!
0:08:54 > 0:08:56I never dreamt he was going to hurt you. Please believe me!
0:08:56 > 0:08:59- I'll have to report it.- No!
0:08:59 > 0:09:00No, don't.
0:09:01 > 0:09:03- He's all I've got.- Don't start!
0:09:03 > 0:09:06- Look, Scott, just calm down.- Why?! - In case you...
0:09:06 > 0:09:08pass out.
0:09:13 > 0:09:15SHE CHUCKLES
0:09:15 > 0:09:18You really wanted the carbonara, didn't you?
0:09:18 > 0:09:21- Am I that transparent? - I wouldn't go that far.
0:09:23 > 0:09:26Well, thank you for rising to the challenge.
0:09:26 > 0:09:27Here's to us!
0:09:27 > 0:09:29To us.
0:09:29 > 0:09:31Our future life together.
0:09:31 > 0:09:35Mm. This chilli is exactly what I needed after the day that I've had.
0:09:35 > 0:09:38Hell on wheels is the only way to describe it.
0:09:38 > 0:09:40Mm-mm!
0:09:41 > 0:09:44OK, well, your blood pressure's fine now, but
0:09:44 > 0:09:47you have got to keep calm, Scott, OK?
0:09:47 > 0:09:50Just try and stay still until the paramedics arrive, yeah?
0:09:52 > 0:09:54What if he attacked a little kid?
0:09:54 > 0:09:57Skipper's never let loose. We don't go for a walk now.
0:09:57 > 0:09:59What - not ever?
0:10:01 > 0:10:04How far can I walk with osteoarthritis?
0:10:04 > 0:10:07Mate, if you can't control him, you should get rid.
0:10:07 > 0:10:09He's my best friend.
0:10:09 > 0:10:11Oh. Come on.
0:10:19 > 0:10:21Ohhhh!
0:10:21 > 0:10:24- I've shanked that one.- Bad luck.
0:10:24 > 0:10:26Not to worry, you're still two shots ahead of me.
0:10:26 > 0:10:28I need more practise.
0:10:28 > 0:10:30Chance would be a fine thing, wouldn't it?
0:10:30 > 0:10:34Oh, I don't know. I'm toying with the idea of early retirement.
0:10:34 > 0:10:38- Really?- It's a bit of a pipe dream, really.
0:10:38 > 0:10:41If I were to withdraw my capital from King's Green now, it'd be a body blow.
0:10:41 > 0:10:43Yes, I suppose it would.
0:10:47 > 0:10:49Shot!
0:10:49 > 0:10:52You know, partners are allowed to retire.
0:10:52 > 0:10:55But bad timing, though, isn't it, with the business up for grabs?
0:10:55 > 0:10:58I'd feel like I was abandoning a sinking ship.
0:11:02 > 0:11:04Here's your fresh dressing.
0:11:06 > 0:11:10A man shouldn't have to go through this when he's trying to make a living.
0:11:11 > 0:11:15You're seeing the light now, are you? About time.
0:11:15 > 0:11:20I was a plumber. I used to...go to people's houses.
0:11:20 > 0:11:23I know how vulnerable you can feel.
0:11:26 > 0:11:27I'm sorry.
0:11:31 > 0:11:35- That's your wife, yeah?- Mm. Yeah.
0:11:35 > 0:11:37Pat chose Skipper.
0:11:37 > 0:11:39Well, we went to the dogs' home
0:11:39 > 0:11:42and he ran towards her, like she was his long-lost owner.
0:11:42 > 0:11:45- HE CHUCKLES - Love at first sight.
0:11:45 > 0:11:49My wife wanted one of them spaniel jobs. Cavalier King Charles.
0:11:49 > 0:11:53I said to her, "There's no way am I being seen in public with a dog like that".
0:11:53 > 0:11:54THEY CHUCKLE
0:11:56 > 0:11:58THEY LAUGH
0:12:00 > 0:12:02They won me over, her and our two girls.
0:12:03 > 0:12:06'Course, I'm the only one that ever takes him for walks.
0:12:06 > 0:12:09Heh! You get fond of them.
0:12:09 > 0:12:12Yeah...you do.
0:12:14 > 0:12:17When Pat was ill, he used to take her the morning paper.
0:12:17 > 0:12:20He'd lie by the door, waiting for it to come through the letterbox.
0:12:20 > 0:12:24The paper lad used to shout, "Morning, Skipper!" Heh!
0:12:26 > 0:12:28When she died, he was running around the house
0:12:28 > 0:12:30with a paper in his mouth, looking for her.
0:12:32 > 0:12:33It was heartbreaking.
0:12:35 > 0:12:41Then one day, he just lay down and, er...ripped it to shreds.
0:12:41 > 0:12:44You can't explain stuff like you can to a person.
0:12:44 > 0:12:46- No. - DOORBELL
0:12:46 > 0:12:49That'll be the paramedics.
0:12:49 > 0:12:52There you go, saved by the bell.
0:12:52 > 0:12:53How do you mean?
0:12:53 > 0:12:56I'm going to give him another chance, OK?
0:12:56 > 0:12:58Out of respect to your wife's memory and that.
0:13:00 > 0:13:02Thank you.
0:13:02 > 0:13:04Thank you.
0:13:04 > 0:13:06That's Scott there.
0:13:11 > 0:13:14Cappuccino with chocolate sprinkles, please. Thank you.
0:13:14 > 0:13:15Heston?
0:13:15 > 0:13:17Nothing for me, thanks.
0:13:19 > 0:13:22I really wanted that salted caramel tart.
0:13:22 > 0:13:25Ruhma, when are you and the kids going to move in?
0:13:25 > 0:13:27Whoa! That's very direct.
0:13:27 > 0:13:29I'd like you to be direct with me.
0:13:29 > 0:13:32OK. This isn't a good time.
0:13:32 > 0:13:34I disagree. I think it's a great time.
0:13:34 > 0:13:37You've had a lovely meal, you're not due back at work for an hour.
0:13:37 > 0:13:41- I know it's a cliche, but it really is complicated.- Why?
0:13:42 > 0:13:44Two stroppy teenagers.
0:13:44 > 0:13:47- Bring it on, as they say. - They've got exams coming up.
0:13:47 > 0:13:49- We can work around that. I can help them.- Heston?
0:13:49 > 0:13:52- I'm very fond of them.- Well, that's lovely, but I'm not sure
0:13:52 > 0:13:55how they'd feel about us being together so openly.
0:13:55 > 0:13:58They're at an awkward age and they're easily embarrassed.
0:13:58 > 0:14:01Let's have a family conference and discuss it.
0:14:01 > 0:14:04- They don't do conference. - Oh, stop mollycoddling them.
0:14:04 > 0:14:05I'm not! And I never have.
0:14:05 > 0:14:09They need to understand how important this is to you and me
0:14:09 > 0:14:11and they will benefit in the long run.
0:14:11 > 0:14:13They are not going to buy that.
0:14:13 > 0:14:15Well, I'm not saying it's an easy conversation.
0:14:15 > 0:14:17Look, this is a very big step.
0:14:17 > 0:14:21We've always been this very tight unit of three.
0:14:21 > 0:14:25Ruhma...are you saying you don't want to move in with me?
0:14:25 > 0:14:29Not exactly. I am saying I think it's best for all concerned
0:14:29 > 0:14:32if we just stay as we are. For now.
0:14:36 > 0:14:38SKIPPER BARKS
0:14:39 > 0:14:42Oh! I'll have the neighbours complaining about him barking again.
0:14:42 > 0:14:45Skipper! Pipe down!
0:14:47 > 0:14:49What happened here?
0:14:49 > 0:14:55Oh, er...he, er...he just got a bit upset. He misses Pat.
0:14:55 > 0:14:59I'm sure he does, but do you think he was maybe just looking for food?
0:14:59 > 0:15:01May I?
0:15:02 > 0:15:05Oh, I know what you're thinking, Old Mother Hubbard.
0:15:05 > 0:15:08It's just that I haven't been to the shops yet. Oh!
0:15:08 > 0:15:11Alan, come and sit down.
0:15:11 > 0:15:12Is it your knee?
0:15:14 > 0:15:16HE GROANS
0:15:20 > 0:15:24Ooh! That must be painful.
0:15:25 > 0:15:26Tell me about it.
0:15:29 > 0:15:34So...Skipper's hungry and he hasn't been for a walk for ages.
0:15:34 > 0:15:36It's not been that long.
0:15:36 > 0:15:39It looks as though you've both lost weight.
0:15:40 > 0:15:42How often would you say you go for a shop?
0:15:42 > 0:15:44Say, once a week, maybe?
0:15:45 > 0:15:48Look...you can get help with that, you know.
0:15:48 > 0:15:51Or just do it online and then have it delivered.
0:15:51 > 0:15:55And risk getting my credit card hacked? No chance!
0:15:55 > 0:15:59Look, I may not be kicking, but at least I'm alive.
0:15:59 > 0:16:01What more can you expect at my age?
0:16:03 > 0:16:05Is it fair to say that your knee
0:16:05 > 0:16:07is stopping you from getting out and about?
0:16:07 > 0:16:11Well, there's not much you can do with osteoarthritis.
0:16:11 > 0:16:13I could give you a stronger treatment,
0:16:13 > 0:16:17it might make life a bit easier for you.
0:16:17 > 0:16:19But I can't fix Skipper, I'm afraid.
0:16:19 > 0:16:23I know. That's my department.
0:16:23 > 0:16:25SKIPPER BARKS
0:16:25 > 0:16:27It's all right, Skipper, I'm coming!
0:16:27 > 0:16:29Um...you can't let him in.
0:16:29 > 0:16:31Oh, he won't bite you!
0:16:31 > 0:16:36Look, I think he could smell Scott's dog.
0:16:38 > 0:16:40Rival male, you know?
0:16:40 > 0:16:41How can you know that for sure?
0:16:41 > 0:16:43I mean, you've no idea what's going on inside his head,
0:16:43 > 0:16:46or what he's going to do next.
0:16:46 > 0:16:47You haven't, have you?
0:16:49 > 0:16:53Look, if Skipper attacks me, I'd have to report it to the police.
0:16:54 > 0:16:56I can't leave him out there indefinitely.
0:16:58 > 0:17:01All right, um... I'll move to the living room.
0:17:01 > 0:17:03Let him in, but keep the doors shut, OK?
0:17:08 > 0:17:10HE SIGHS
0:17:13 > 0:17:16- Well done!- Nice one, Daniel.
0:17:16 > 0:17:19- Can tell you're on top form. - That's kind of you, thank you.
0:17:19 > 0:17:21Focus, balance, steady pair of hands.
0:17:21 > 0:17:24Just the sort of guy you need in a business.
0:17:24 > 0:17:27- Such as King's Green?- I want to merge with people I respect,
0:17:27 > 0:17:29not just the biggest organisation.
0:17:29 > 0:17:32Unfortunately, money does talk.
0:17:32 > 0:17:34Yes, but only to an extent.
0:17:34 > 0:17:38- You mean because of your retirement? - No, there's...there's more.
0:17:38 > 0:17:40Your shot, I think, Anthony.
0:17:40 > 0:17:42Get ready for one humdinger of a pitch.
0:17:42 > 0:17:44- Confident, isn't he?- He is.
0:17:55 > 0:17:57It's all right, I can manage!
0:17:59 > 0:18:02Well, I think you'd manage a bit better with mobility aids.
0:18:03 > 0:18:06Um...does it hurt going upstairs?
0:18:06 > 0:18:08Huh! What do you think?
0:18:09 > 0:18:12So, you're sleeping down here?
0:18:12 > 0:18:15- SKIPPER BARKS - Be quiet, Skipper!
0:18:16 > 0:18:21Well, you know how it is. You get comfortable, you don't want to move.
0:18:21 > 0:18:24And you... fall asleep in your clothes?
0:18:24 > 0:18:25Sometimes!
0:18:25 > 0:18:27And then, um...in the morning,
0:18:27 > 0:18:30do you get up and get washed, or...?
0:18:30 > 0:18:32Skipper, shut up!
0:18:33 > 0:18:35I've got my standards!
0:18:35 > 0:18:37I know, I know, um... I'm just wondering
0:18:37 > 0:18:40whether they're...slipping, that's all.
0:18:43 > 0:18:45Do you think you might be depressed, Alan?
0:18:45 > 0:18:49Depressed! What have I got to be depressed about?
0:18:49 > 0:18:51My wife's dead and the dog's gone crazy.
0:18:51 > 0:18:54- CLATTER - Oh, what's he up to now?
0:18:54 > 0:18:57He'll be at that cupboard under the sink.
0:18:57 > 0:19:00There'll be stuff all over the floor again!
0:19:00 > 0:19:01Aargh!
0:19:01 > 0:19:03Oh! Oh!
0:19:03 > 0:19:06Give me a break, you stupid dog!
0:19:06 > 0:19:09Alan! Just...stop, OK?
0:19:09 > 0:19:11Please. You'll hurt yourself.
0:19:26 > 0:19:28Heston...
0:19:28 > 0:19:30Please say something.
0:19:30 > 0:19:32I think I've said quite enough already.
0:19:32 > 0:19:34I've made a complete fool of myself.
0:19:34 > 0:19:36No, you haven't.
0:19:36 > 0:19:39It's lovely that you feel committed to me and the kids.
0:19:39 > 0:19:42Feelings which are clearly not reciprocated.
0:19:42 > 0:19:43That's not true.
0:19:44 > 0:19:47- Dating is romantic.- Dating?
0:19:47 > 0:19:49OK, that's not the right word...
0:19:50 > 0:19:52- I'll get that.- It was my idea.
0:19:53 > 0:19:55I've got a couple of errands to run.
0:19:55 > 0:19:57Have a pleasant afternoon.
0:20:04 > 0:20:06He's all I've got.
0:20:06 > 0:20:09He shouldn't be! You need other people.
0:20:10 > 0:20:13A club to go to, or holidays to go on.
0:20:13 > 0:20:16I mean, who knows what you could do, once we get that medication sorted?
0:20:16 > 0:20:19I can't leave Skipper in the house on his own.
0:20:19 > 0:20:21That's kind of my point.
0:20:22 > 0:20:26It's not just about the essential stuff like food and walks.
0:20:26 > 0:20:28What about fun?
0:20:28 > 0:20:30Someone to play with?
0:20:30 > 0:20:32Those days are over for me.
0:20:32 > 0:20:34Yeah, but...not for him.
0:20:36 > 0:20:38What are you suggesting?
0:20:40 > 0:20:42Relationships break down.
0:20:42 > 0:20:45I know you love Skipper and he loves you...
0:20:46 > 0:20:49..but this isn't working for either of you.
0:20:49 > 0:20:52And I think you know that yourself.
0:20:52 > 0:20:53What do you want me to do?
0:20:53 > 0:20:56Do what you think's right for him.
0:20:59 > 0:21:01He was always Pat's dog.
0:21:03 > 0:21:04She used to pamper him,
0:21:04 > 0:21:08let him climb on the chairs and sometimes even the bed.
0:21:10 > 0:21:14I always thought that a dog should know its place,
0:21:14 > 0:21:16but he never did.
0:21:19 > 0:21:21Sometimes he looks at me.
0:21:23 > 0:21:27"Who do you think YOU are, telling ME what to do?!"
0:21:27 > 0:21:29Alan...
0:21:29 > 0:21:32he badly hurt someone today and he could do it again.
0:21:35 > 0:21:36You need to let him go.
0:21:38 > 0:21:41The sooner he goes to someone who can look after him properly,
0:21:41 > 0:21:44the sooner you can both move on with your lives.
0:21:49 > 0:21:51- ANTHONY:- 'Could I ask you a personal question?'
0:21:51 > 0:21:53Depends.
0:21:55 > 0:21:57Would withdrawing your stake in King's Green give you
0:21:57 > 0:22:01sufficient funds to enjoy your retirement?
0:22:01 > 0:22:03Well...
0:22:03 > 0:22:05I might have to lower my standards a little.
0:22:05 > 0:22:07I see.
0:22:07 > 0:22:09Well, perhaps we could help you with that.
0:22:09 > 0:22:12That's extremely kind. I'm quite overcome.
0:22:12 > 0:22:14How overcome?
0:22:14 > 0:22:17Well, I feel I should offer you something in return.
0:22:17 > 0:22:18Anything spring to mind?
0:22:18 > 0:22:20Let me see.
0:22:20 > 0:22:23A greater insight into the state of play at King's Green?
0:22:24 > 0:22:26I'd be relying on your discretion.
0:22:26 > 0:22:28You have it.
0:22:29 > 0:22:30Both of you.
0:22:30 > 0:22:31Sure.
0:22:34 > 0:22:36Not even Winnie knows this.
0:22:36 > 0:22:38We won't breathe a word. Especially not to Winnie.
0:22:38 > 0:22:40Another partner is thinking of retiring.
0:22:40 > 0:22:43Which changes the financial picture even further.
0:22:43 > 0:22:45- No-one else knows about this? - Of course not.
0:22:45 > 0:22:49But the other bidders may not be interested anyway.
0:22:49 > 0:22:50How so?
0:22:50 > 0:22:53Well, for example, I could say that King's Green is a practice
0:22:53 > 0:22:56stuck in the past, with widespread disillusionment
0:22:56 > 0:22:59and conflict amongst the staff,
0:22:59 > 0:23:01and no clear leadership to speak of.
0:23:02 > 0:23:06And that in my opinion, it's not worth a cent of anyone's money.
0:23:07 > 0:23:09That...might work.
0:23:09 > 0:23:11Eliminate the competition by putting them off, you mean?
0:23:11 > 0:23:15I like the way you do business at the Mill, Anthony. I want you to win.
0:23:16 > 0:23:18Do we have a deal?
0:23:18 > 0:23:19We most certainly do.
0:23:27 > 0:23:29Wait...
0:23:29 > 0:23:31He'll need his teddy.
0:23:34 > 0:23:37No. No, this is wrong!
0:23:37 > 0:23:40Alan, he'll be fine. They'll take him to a boarding centre until he's ready to be re-homed.
0:23:40 > 0:23:42Pat would never forgive me.
0:23:42 > 0:23:43I'm sure she would understand.
0:23:43 > 0:23:48Yeah, but he won't, would he? Look, he thinks I'm abandoning him.
0:23:48 > 0:23:50- It's cruel!- It's not cruel.
0:23:50 > 0:23:52You're giving him a chance.
0:23:52 > 0:23:53A new start.
0:23:56 > 0:23:59I want it to be the way it was, with Pat.
0:23:59 > 0:24:00Just the three of us.
0:24:02 > 0:24:05I love him, Doctor. But...
0:24:05 > 0:24:08I just can't bear to spend another day with him.
0:24:09 > 0:24:11- That's a terrible thing to say, isn't it?- No, no.
0:24:13 > 0:24:15It's honest.
0:24:15 > 0:24:17Yeah.
0:24:18 > 0:24:20Well... I'd better say goodbye.
0:24:23 > 0:24:25Goodbye, my lovely boy.
0:24:26 > 0:24:29I'm sorry I let you down, I didn't mean to.
0:24:30 > 0:24:34Hey - now, you listen to me, you do what they tell you
0:24:34 > 0:24:38and behave yourself. And then they'll find a lovely home for you.
0:24:38 > 0:24:42And you'll be spoilt rotten like you used to be.
0:24:45 > 0:24:49You'll forget about me. You will!
0:24:49 > 0:24:54And they'll find you a lovely, nice place with a lovely, sunny garden,
0:24:54 > 0:24:57and you'll be able to run around and get lot of treats and...
0:25:07 > 0:25:09OK. Thanks.
0:25:12 > 0:25:14MOBILE PHONE RINGS
0:25:16 > 0:25:19- Hi.- 'They'd sold out of egg, chicken and BLT.
0:25:19 > 0:25:21'Ended up with cheese and pickle.'
0:25:23 > 0:25:25- 'Sid?'- Um... It's OK,
0:25:25 > 0:25:28I think I've missed lunch anyway.
0:25:28 > 0:25:29'What's up?'
0:25:29 > 0:25:32No, I'm fine. I'll see you later.
0:25:36 > 0:25:38Always a pleasure, Adrian.
0:25:38 > 0:25:40No need to rush off so soon, is there? We all deserve a drink.
0:25:40 > 0:25:43- Sounds very civilized! - Good, I'll get them in.
0:25:43 > 0:25:45We're right behind you.
0:25:45 > 0:25:46What just happened there?
0:25:46 > 0:25:50We got what we came for - insider information into the merger proposal.
0:25:50 > 0:25:53- But you offered him money. - You didn't expect him to tell us for nothing, did you?
0:25:53 > 0:25:58- So, technically that's a bribe, isn't it?- Would you rather he enlightened some of the others?
0:25:58 > 0:26:01- Because he would have done, if we hadn't taken the bait. - Anthony, it's illegal.
0:26:01 > 0:26:04- I had no idea you were such a boy scout.- I'm not.
0:26:04 > 0:26:06I'd just rather things were above board, that's all.
0:26:06 > 0:26:08Where's the fun in that?
0:26:08 > 0:26:10You're starting to sound like Winnie the Wig.
0:26:10 > 0:26:13You've got to be a player to get on in this world, you know that as well as I do.
0:26:13 > 0:26:18"Above board" gets you a lifetime of graft with very little reward at the end.
0:26:18 > 0:26:20That's if you even make it to the end.
0:26:20 > 0:26:22You are much, much cleverer than that!
0:26:23 > 0:26:25What do you say?
0:26:28 > 0:26:30Let's go and get that drink.
0:26:36 > 0:26:38You're as bad as the rest of them!
0:26:38 > 0:26:41You put that down immediately, or I'll call the police.
0:26:41 > 0:26:42Mrs Stinner!
0:26:42 > 0:26:45# I love you more than you think. #
0:26:45 > 0:26:47Whoa...
0:26:47 > 0:26:51- What?- Whatever you do, don't look in the bathroom.
0:26:51 > 0:26:53What on earth is all this racket?
0:26:53 > 0:26:57- THEY TALK OVER EACH OTHER - Miss Stinner missed her appointment, and Nurse Harris...
0:26:57 > 0:26:58Just stop!
