0:00:38 > 0:00:40SHE LAUGHS

0:00:40 > 0:00:41Wow!

0:00:41 > 0:00:42That was amazing.

0:00:57 > 0:00:59Is this your room?

0:00:59 > 0:01:01I hope so.

0:01:02 > 0:01:04It's nice.

0:01:04 > 0:01:06Glad you like it.

0:01:06 > 0:01:08Because if you're always that good,

0:01:08 > 0:01:11you are going to be spending a lot of time in here.

0:01:14 > 0:01:17But no-one can ever know about it. OK?

0:01:17 > 0:01:18Especially not at work.

0:01:18 > 0:01:20Know about what?

0:01:21 > 0:01:23Exactly.

0:01:23 > 0:01:25Now, come on. Get dressed.

0:01:28 > 0:01:30I'm going to make coffee.

0:01:49 > 0:01:51My shirt's ripped.

0:01:51 > 0:01:52Oh, sorry.

0:01:52 > 0:01:54I got a bit carried away.

0:01:54 > 0:01:57Last night... Didn't I sleep on the sofa?

0:01:57 > 0:02:00Yeah, sorry about that.

0:02:00 > 0:02:02In the pub, you said we couldn't sleep together.

0:02:02 > 0:02:04Yeah, I know.

0:02:04 > 0:02:07But I lay awake half the night regretting it.

0:02:07 > 0:02:08Why?

0:02:08 > 0:02:12Because I've wanted to do this from the day that I hired you.

0:02:14 > 0:02:17That's why I saved your job when they wanted to let you go.

0:02:17 > 0:02:18So...

0:02:18 > 0:02:20But it has to be our secret.

0:02:20 > 0:02:24If they find out that we're sleeping together, they'll fire both of us.

0:02:24 > 0:02:26So...we did sleep together.

0:02:26 > 0:02:27What?

0:02:27 > 0:02:29- Did we?- Marcus?

0:02:29 > 0:02:30We didn't?

0:02:30 > 0:02:32Oh, that good, was it?

0:02:32 > 0:02:34I don't know. I can't remember...

0:02:34 > 0:02:38Seriously? You're pretending you can't remember having sex?

0:02:38 > 0:02:39I'm not pretending.

0:02:39 > 0:02:43Oh, you really know how to spoil the perfect morning.

0:02:43 > 0:02:44Something's wrong.

0:02:44 > 0:02:46- Oh, stop it. - I'm serious.

0:02:46 > 0:02:48Marcus?

0:02:48 > 0:02:51- Why can't I remember? - You're not kidding, are you?

0:02:52 > 0:02:54We caught him nicking aerosols yesterday.

0:02:54 > 0:02:57Turns out he's got a serious solvent addiction.

0:02:57 > 0:02:59Strictly speaking, VSA isn't physically addictive.

0:02:59 > 0:03:01What's VSA?

0:03:01 > 0:03:04Volatile substance abuse. Although it can be mentally addictive.

0:03:04 > 0:03:06Well, one way or another he's got a problem.

0:03:06 > 0:03:07And...?

0:03:07 > 0:03:11And Karen said you could fit him in as an emergency appointment.

0:03:11 > 0:03:13It's not really an emergency, though, is it?

0:03:13 > 0:03:15PHONE RINGTONE - THE SWEENEY THEME

0:03:15 > 0:03:18Sorry. Ah, Karen. That's the third time she's called.

0:03:18 > 0:03:19- You want to speak to her?- No.

0:03:19 > 0:03:22OK, I will tell her that you can't see him...

0:03:22 > 0:03:24- Fine. - Wise choice.

0:03:24 > 0:03:27- But you'll have to wait, though. - No problem.

0:03:34 > 0:03:36We're in.

0:03:43 > 0:03:44I need to see Eesh.

0:03:44 > 0:03:45Sorry?

0:03:45 > 0:03:48- Ayesha? - Oh. And you are?

0:03:48 > 0:03:50Her cousin. It's an emergency.

0:03:50 > 0:03:52Well, she's just in with somebody at the minute.

0:03:52 > 0:03:54I'll wait. Er, water?

0:03:54 > 0:03:55Sorry?

0:03:55 > 0:03:56Where can I get water?

0:03:58 > 0:04:00Just through there, on the left.

0:04:00 > 0:04:01You're welcome.

0:04:06 > 0:04:08We need to see a doctor. Straight away.

0:04:08 > 0:04:10- Oh, what's the problem? - What are we doing here?

0:04:10 > 0:04:12He seems to have lost his memory.

0:04:12 > 0:04:13What happened? Did you bang your head?

0:04:13 > 0:04:15I don't know. Did I?

0:04:15 > 0:04:17- Even a little bump can be serious. - No, nothing happened.

0:04:17 > 0:04:22One minute he was fine and the next he was all over the place.

0:04:22 > 0:04:24Would you not be better off at hospital?

0:04:24 > 0:04:26I'm a patient here.

0:04:26 > 0:04:28Oh, right. What's your name?

0:04:28 > 0:04:29Marcus Hayward.

0:04:32 > 0:04:34Date of birth?

0:04:34 > 0:04:3606/06/1976.

0:04:36 > 0:04:39There's nothing wrong with your memory.

0:04:39 > 0:04:41Yeah, with some things he's fine.

0:04:41 > 0:04:42- Marcus?- Kayleigh.

0:04:42 > 0:04:44- What are you doing here? - Um...

0:04:44 > 0:04:46I haven't seen you in ages. How are you?

0:04:46 > 0:04:48- Why are we here? - Do you see what I mean?

0:04:48 > 0:04:50Are you all right? What's wrong?

0:04:50 > 0:04:53- Erm, he had an accident at work. - What kind of an accident?

0:04:53 > 0:04:54He hit his head.

0:04:54 > 0:04:56Mr Rubasingham?

0:04:56 > 0:04:59I'm sorry, would you mind seeing this gentleman first?

0:04:59 > 0:05:02I think it might be an emergency. Is that OK?

0:05:02 > 0:05:04Yeah, come on.

0:05:07 > 0:05:10Did she just say that he hit his head?

0:05:10 > 0:05:12- What? - Kayleigh?

0:05:12 > 0:05:14Cuz. I need to see you. It's an emergency.

0:05:14 > 0:05:16An emergency?

0:05:18 > 0:05:20SHE SIGHS

0:05:25 > 0:05:28- Does your head hurt? - No.

0:05:28 > 0:05:30Do you remember hitting it?

0:05:31 > 0:05:34OK. Can you follow my finger with your eyes?

0:05:34 > 0:05:35Without moving your head.

0:05:38 > 0:05:41- OK. Did you see what happened? - No.

0:05:42 > 0:05:44Did anyone?

0:05:46 > 0:05:50Look, memory loss can be a symptom of a serious underlying issue.

0:05:50 > 0:05:52OK, so anything you can tell me, anything at all...

0:05:52 > 0:05:55If I tell you what happened, you can't repeat it.

0:05:55 > 0:05:57I'm sorry?

0:05:57 > 0:05:59To anyone. We'll lose our jobs.

0:06:00 > 0:06:03OK. Everything you say in here is confidential.

0:06:03 > 0:06:04OK.

0:06:04 > 0:06:06We were having sex.

0:06:06 > 0:06:07We were?

0:06:07 > 0:06:09Yeah, everything was...fine.

0:06:09 > 0:06:12And then, suddenly...he didn't know where he was,

0:06:12 > 0:06:14he couldn't remember what we'd done...

0:06:14 > 0:06:17- Have you been drinking? - No.

0:06:17 > 0:06:20I had a couple in the pub last night but he didn't have anything.

0:06:20 > 0:06:22He said he felt a migraine coming on.

0:06:22 > 0:06:25- Yeah, that's right. - Drugs?

0:06:25 > 0:06:27- No.- I've never done drugs. Ever.

0:06:29 > 0:06:31Was there anything unusual about the sex?

0:06:31 > 0:06:33I don't know.

0:06:33 > 0:06:35- Was it...rough? - No!

0:06:35 > 0:06:36It was a bit...

0:06:36 > 0:06:39What, you really think this happened because we had...sex?

0:06:39 > 0:06:40I can't say yet.

0:06:40 > 0:06:42What's wrong with me?

0:06:42 > 0:06:44I'll have a much better idea after I've done a couple more tests.

0:06:44 > 0:06:45OK?

0:06:46 > 0:06:49You are not an alcoholic.

0:06:49 > 0:06:50I am. I'm drunk now.

0:06:50 > 0:06:52- Eugh.- See.

0:06:52 > 0:06:54What? Did you go and have a couple

0:06:54 > 0:06:56of tequila shots just so you could do that?

0:06:56 > 0:06:58No.

0:06:58 > 0:07:01Kay, I'm not stupid. What do you want?

0:07:01 > 0:07:04It's in my genes, Eesh. And yours.

0:07:04 > 0:07:06There's a gene that can make you an alcoholic.

0:07:06 > 0:07:08I saw it on a website.

0:07:08 > 0:07:11So, this is your emergency? Some rubbish you saw on the internet?

0:07:11 > 0:07:13It's not rubbish. Bren has the gene.

0:07:13 > 0:07:15And so does my dad.

0:07:15 > 0:07:16That means the rest of us do too.

0:07:16 > 0:07:18No, it doesn't.

0:07:18 > 0:07:21And genes are only a tiny part of what makes someone an alcoholic.

0:07:21 > 0:07:23Yeah, the bit that matters the most.

0:07:23 > 0:07:26If everyone in our family is an alcoholic, then...

0:07:26 > 0:07:29Which they aren't. And plenty of kids of alcoholics are perfectly fine.

0:07:29 > 0:07:31And lots aren't.

0:07:31 > 0:07:34But...I know a way we can make sure it won't happen.

0:07:34 > 0:07:35What do you mean, "we"?

0:07:37 > 0:07:40How often do you use?

0:07:40 > 0:07:41Does it matter?

0:07:41 > 0:07:43Just a rough figure?

0:07:43 > 0:07:45- Why do you want to know? - So I can help you.

0:07:45 > 0:07:47- You can't. - I can't if you won't let me.

0:07:51 > 0:07:55You know there's a risk of sudden death with this stuff?

0:07:57 > 0:08:00You ever suffer from blackouts? Vomiting?

0:08:04 > 0:08:07Look, if you're not going to say anything, I have other

0:08:07 > 0:08:08patients I need to see, so...

0:08:12 > 0:08:14Vomiting. Sometimes.

0:08:15 > 0:08:17Blackouts?

0:08:19 > 0:08:23Look, I understand that you don't want to talk about this stuff.

0:08:25 > 0:08:27But I do know what you're going through.

0:08:29 > 0:08:30Do you?

0:08:32 > 0:08:35And...I remember thinking that there was no way out.

0:08:38 > 0:08:41But then someone made the effort to help me.

0:08:41 > 0:08:43And I let her.

0:08:43 > 0:08:45If I hadn't, maybe I wouldn't be here now.

0:08:46 > 0:08:48What happened to you?

0:08:50 > 0:08:51What are you trying to forget?

0:08:56 > 0:08:58Whatever you say to me, stays in this room.

0:09:04 > 0:09:06How much do you drink? I bet it's more than you think.

0:09:06 > 0:09:08Kay, I'm not an alcoholic.

0:09:08 > 0:09:11Six pints a week? Or six glasses of wine? That's all it takes.

0:09:11 > 0:09:12I know what the guidelines are.

0:09:12 > 0:09:15But if I occasionally go over, that doesn't make me an alcoholic.

0:09:15 > 0:09:17- Not yet. - Oh, come on...

0:09:17 > 0:09:19There's a place in America where they can turn off your

0:09:19 > 0:09:22- alcoholic gene.- What? - It's called gene therapy.

0:09:22 > 0:09:25They're looking for volunteers for experimental trials.

0:09:25 > 0:09:26You want to go to America?

0:09:26 > 0:09:29You and me. Together. It's our only chance.

0:09:29 > 0:09:31And we get a free trip.

0:09:31 > 0:09:33I've got work to do.

0:09:33 > 0:09:35Just...let me show you the website.

0:09:35 > 0:09:37- No. - Five minutes. Please?

0:09:40 > 0:09:42So, how long have you and Jessica worked together?

0:09:42 > 0:09:44Three months. She hired me.

0:09:44 > 0:09:46Not cos I fancy him. But that's what they'll think.

0:09:46 > 0:09:49If anyone at work finds out about...you know...

0:09:49 > 0:09:52And, erm... Do you remember where you worked before?

0:09:52 > 0:09:55A sports supplies warehouse. For six months.

0:09:55 > 0:09:57You really think this happened because we had sex?

0:09:57 > 0:09:58We had...?

0:09:58 > 0:10:00Yeah! OK. We had sex.

0:10:00 > 0:10:03But there was nothing rough or funny about it.

0:10:03 > 0:10:08There wasn't anything unusual? Anything at all?

0:10:08 > 0:10:11It was a bit...energetic, maybe.

0:10:11 > 0:10:13Really?

0:10:13 > 0:10:17OK, it is possible the memory loss may be related to the sex.

0:10:17 > 0:10:19Can you do something about it?

0:10:19 > 0:10:20If I can't, there are people who can.

0:10:20 > 0:10:22Would they have to know about the sex?

0:10:22 > 0:10:23Well...

0:10:23 > 0:10:26Because we will get fired. It's company policy.

0:10:26 > 0:10:29My predecessor had a one-nighter after the Christmas party and...

0:10:29 > 0:10:33Let's not get ahead of ourselves... But I do have an idea of what it might be.

0:10:33 > 0:10:35- What? - But I could be wrong.

0:10:35 > 0:10:38So I'd just like to check your blood pressure first.

0:10:41 > 0:10:43These trials are for long-term alcoholics.

0:10:43 > 0:10:45So we lie.

0:10:45 > 0:10:48And it doesn't say anything about flying people across the Atlantic.

0:10:48 > 0:10:51They wouldn't be asking for volunteers on a website, if they weren't desperate.

0:10:51 > 0:10:54- Or it's a scam. - We should at least try.

0:10:54 > 0:10:57- Or, do you want to end up like Bren? - I won't.

0:10:57 > 0:10:59All we need is a letter from a doctor.

0:10:59 > 0:11:00Right. So, that's why you're here.

0:11:00 > 0:11:03You work with them all the time. Just ask.

0:11:03 > 0:11:05- No.- Eesh!

0:11:05 > 0:11:07- I'm not doing it. - I'd do it for you.

0:11:07 > 0:11:10I've got to get to the Mill. I'll drop you on the way.

0:11:10 > 0:11:12I'm your cousin.

0:11:12 > 0:11:14And you've already wasted enough of my time.

0:11:18 > 0:11:21- 160 over 110. That is a bit high. - Oh.

0:11:21 > 0:11:23But that could just be the anxiety.

0:11:23 > 0:11:26You've got no problems with dizziness, or balance,

0:11:26 > 0:11:29- or coordination, so... - Then, what's wrong with me?

0:11:29 > 0:11:32It does actually sound like something I studied at uni.

0:11:32 > 0:11:34But I've never actually seen a case.

0:11:34 > 0:11:36- Not while it's still happening. - What?

0:11:36 > 0:11:40It's a type of amnesia. Transient global amnesia.

0:11:40 > 0:11:42It's a remarkable condition - sudden,

0:11:42 > 0:11:44complete disruption of short-term memory.

0:11:44 > 0:11:46But he does remember things. Some, anyway.

0:11:46 > 0:11:48Well, your long-term memory is fine.

0:11:48 > 0:11:51- Who you are, where you live, all that...- Well, that fits.

0:11:51 > 0:11:53And you can even process new information.

0:11:53 > 0:11:55It's just that you forget it almost immediately.

0:11:55 > 0:11:57- Is it permanent? - No. It only lasts for a few hours.

0:11:57 > 0:12:00And then your memory will start working normally again.

0:12:00 > 0:12:03Except...you won't remember anything that happened during the attack.

0:12:03 > 0:12:04You won't even remember talking to me.

0:12:04 > 0:12:06And this all happened because we had sex?

0:12:06 > 0:12:10- Sex...?- Sex is one of the things that can bring it on.

0:12:10 > 0:12:12One of my tutors called it "sexual amnesia".

0:12:12 > 0:12:14So he'll be OK?

0:12:14 > 0:12:17- If that's what it is. - And no-one needs to know?

0:12:17 > 0:12:19But the high blood pressure is worrying.

0:12:19 > 0:12:22It could indicate the possibility of a TIA - a mini stroke -

0:12:22 > 0:12:24even a haemorrhage...

0:12:24 > 0:12:27- I've had a stroke? - It's a possibility.

0:12:27 > 0:12:30I'd like to send you to hospital for a CT scan.

0:12:30 > 0:12:32- Hospital? - Just as a precaution.

0:12:35 > 0:12:40She probably wasn't much of a mother but she was still my mum.

0:12:40 > 0:12:42How old were you when she ran away?

0:12:44 > 0:12:45Eight.

0:12:45 > 0:12:47She ever come back?

0:12:48 > 0:12:49No-one knows where she is.

0:12:51 > 0:12:53I can't forget the day she left...

0:12:55 > 0:12:59Like all the lights went out? And they never came on again.

0:12:59 > 0:13:01Yeah.

0:13:03 > 0:13:05My dad couldn't handle it.

0:13:07 > 0:13:08Shouting at me...

0:13:10 > 0:13:14..hitting me, locking me in my room...

0:13:14 > 0:13:15He used to lock you in?

0:13:18 > 0:13:20Everything I did was wrong.

0:13:23 > 0:13:24He blamed me for what she'd done.

0:13:27 > 0:13:29You ever tell anyone?

0:13:30 > 0:13:31There was no-one to tell.

0:13:33 > 0:13:37A couple of times he beat me so bad I thought he was going to kill me.

0:13:42 > 0:13:44Are you all right?

0:13:44 > 0:13:45Hm. Yeah, fine.

0:13:47 > 0:13:48Er, your blood pressure's good.

0:13:55 > 0:13:58So, how long have you been using?

0:13:58 > 0:13:59A few years.

0:14:01 > 0:14:03How come no-one ever noticed?

0:14:06 > 0:14:08If no-one cares about you...

0:14:17 > 0:14:19It wouldn't kill you to ask.

0:14:19 > 0:14:22- I have to go to the Mill. I'll be back for my clinic later.- OK.

0:14:22 > 0:14:26Karen? Can you call an ambulance to take Mr Hayward to hospital, please?

0:14:26 > 0:14:28- It's non-urgent. - Hospital?

0:14:28 > 0:14:29Kayleigh? What are you doing here?

0:14:29 > 0:14:31Are you kidding me? I saw you, like, two minutes ago.

0:14:31 > 0:14:35- Oh, right...- Why are you going to hospital?- It's just a precaution.

0:14:35 > 0:14:37- AYESHA:- Kay...? - Does Jade know?

0:14:37 > 0:14:40- Who's Jade? - My wife.

0:14:40 > 0:14:43- Can we go? - All right.

0:14:43 > 0:14:44You should call her, Marcus.

0:14:44 > 0:14:46Yeah, someone did. At work.

0:14:48 > 0:14:51Erm, do you want to take a seat? Shouldn't be long.

0:14:52 > 0:14:54Are you the doctor?

0:14:54 > 0:14:55Yeah, I am, yeah.

0:14:55 > 0:14:57Only, Eesh and I need some medical advice.

0:14:57 > 0:15:00- No, we don't. - Well, I've got a patient.

0:15:00 > 0:15:02Where is Mr Rubasingham?

0:15:02 > 0:15:04He couldn't wait.

0:15:04 > 0:15:07Oh. Well, in that case, yeah, come on in.

0:15:15 > 0:15:17I am so sorry about this.

0:15:17 > 0:15:20It's about gene therapy for alcoholics.

0:15:20 > 0:15:23Oh, I've actually read quite a lot about this.

0:15:23 > 0:15:24Great(!)

0:15:26 > 0:15:27And...?

0:15:27 > 0:15:30Well, it mostly just involves rats at the moment.

0:15:30 > 0:15:32But there are drugs that can trigger an aversion to alcohol.

0:15:32 > 0:15:33You know, make you sick at the taste.

0:15:33 > 0:15:36But it's not something I'd advise. Not unless you have a serious problem.

0:15:36 > 0:15:38Which you don't.

0:15:38 > 0:15:41And the genetic thing is just one factor. There's lots more to it.

0:15:41 > 0:15:44- Like I said. - We're still a high risk.

0:15:44 > 0:15:47Actually, the fact that you know how serious it is - that makes you

0:15:47 > 0:15:49- a very low risk. - Thanks.

0:15:54 > 0:15:57I can't believe you never told me you're married.

0:15:57 > 0:16:00- You never asked. - Yeah, I did. Last night in the pub?

0:16:00 > 0:16:01Did you?

0:16:04 > 0:16:06There you go. How's your head?

0:16:06 > 0:16:08What?

0:16:08 > 0:16:10- Didn't you say he'd hit his head. - Did I?

0:16:10 > 0:16:12I can't remember...

0:16:12 > 0:16:14How long until the ambulance gets here?

0:16:14 > 0:16:17- Oh, 25 minutes, maybe half an hour. - Ambulance?

0:16:17 > 0:16:19- To take you to the hospital? - Because of my head?

0:16:19 > 0:16:22No... Oh... It's pointless talking to you.

0:16:30 > 0:16:33You can beat this.

0:16:33 > 0:16:35I'm not strong enough.

0:16:35 > 0:16:37It's not addictive. Not physically anyway.

0:16:37 > 0:16:39So there's no withdrawal.

0:16:41 > 0:16:42I don't know....

0:16:42 > 0:16:45You said yourself earlier, you wished you'd never started.

0:16:45 > 0:16:48There's a lot of things I wish never happened.

0:16:48 > 0:16:52- Do you really mean it, do you really want to stop?- I suppose.

0:16:52 > 0:16:53Because if you do, we can help you.

0:16:53 > 0:16:55And it would make a huge difference to your life.

0:16:55 > 0:16:57Really(?)

0:17:00 > 0:17:01How?

0:17:01 > 0:17:03If you could do...anything...

0:17:03 > 0:17:05what would you like to do?

0:17:09 > 0:17:11There must be something.

0:17:13 > 0:17:16Something you've always wanted.

0:17:18 > 0:17:21- To forget. - OK.

0:17:23 > 0:17:26What if you could sort out what happened to you?

0:17:26 > 0:17:28What your mum did?

0:17:28 > 0:17:30I can't.

0:17:30 > 0:17:33I mean - in your head. Come to terms with it.

0:17:34 > 0:17:36How?

0:17:36 > 0:17:38There are ways. People who can help.

0:17:38 > 0:17:40- Miracle workers? - Nothing's impossible.

0:17:40 > 0:17:42Some things are.

0:17:42 > 0:17:44If everyone thought like you, there'd be

0:17:44 > 0:17:46no point in us being here.

0:17:47 > 0:17:48There isn't.

0:17:52 > 0:17:56- I told you it was a waste of time. - We could get a second opinion.

0:17:56 > 0:17:58Kay! You are not going to become an alcoholic.

0:17:58 > 0:18:00And neither am I. So just drop it, OK.

0:18:00 > 0:18:03- OK. You don't have to shout. - You just make me so mad.

0:18:03 > 0:18:06Marcus is having an affair with that woman. I know it.

0:18:06 > 0:18:08You think everyone's having an affair.

0:18:08 > 0:18:09Did you see the way she looked at him?

0:18:09 > 0:18:11It's none of your business.

0:18:11 > 0:18:13I'd want to know if my husband was in hospital.

0:18:13 > 0:18:16- Yeah, but he's not your husband, is he?- She's my friend.

0:18:16 > 0:18:18Earlier, you said she was a friend of a friend.

0:18:18 > 0:18:20So? What if he's really sick?

0:18:20 > 0:18:23Well, they'll look after him. That's what hospitals do.

0:18:23 > 0:18:25How can you be so cool about it? You're supposed to be a nurse.

0:18:25 > 0:18:28- And what if you're wrong? - I'm not.

0:18:28 > 0:18:30Because it wouldn't be the first time, would it?

0:18:30 > 0:18:32- Just don't get involved. - I have to.

0:18:32 > 0:18:34Fine. Do what you want.

0:18:36 > 0:18:38Wait.

0:18:38 > 0:18:40Do you want a lift or not?

0:18:41 > 0:18:43I'll catch you later.

0:18:44 > 0:18:46You're an idiot.

0:18:50 > 0:18:53Oh, thank you, bye.

0:18:53 > 0:18:55So, that was the ambulance.

0:18:55 > 0:18:57It's going to be outside in a couple of minutes.

0:18:57 > 0:18:59What?

0:18:59 > 0:19:00The ambulance.

0:19:00 > 0:19:02- Sorry. Miles away. - Come on.

0:19:04 > 0:19:07Oh, erm, do you not think you should wait inside?

0:19:07 > 0:19:08Because of your head.

0:19:08 > 0:19:10Actually I feel fine now.

0:19:10 > 0:19:13I just can't remember anything I did this morning.

0:19:15 > 0:19:17Oh, good luck.

0:19:20 > 0:19:22Wait. We need to get something straight.

0:19:22 > 0:19:25Now try really hard to remember this.

0:19:25 > 0:19:28If the doctor is right and it's that "sexual amnesia" thing...

0:19:28 > 0:19:30- Sexual amnesia? - Yeah.

0:19:30 > 0:19:33- He said it sometimes happens after sex.- So I didn't hit my head?- No.

0:19:33 > 0:19:36- But you told the receptionist that I hit my head.- Oh, Marcus!

0:19:36 > 0:19:38She said you did. When you asked about the ambulance...

0:19:38 > 0:19:41Just listen! You can't tell anyone we slept together. All right?

0:19:41 > 0:19:44- Especially not your wife. - We slept together?

0:19:44 > 0:19:47Oh for pity's... Yeah. All right? This morning.

0:19:47 > 0:19:49We had sex this morning.

0:19:58 > 0:20:00So, in the past two weeks,

0:20:00 > 0:20:02how often have you thought about hurting yourself?

0:20:02 > 0:20:03Never.

0:20:06 > 0:20:09Have you thought you'd be better off dead?

0:20:09 > 0:20:11No.

0:20:13 > 0:20:17Well, you're definitely not suicidal.

0:20:17 > 0:20:20I can't see the point in it.

0:20:20 > 0:20:22I do think you're suffering from depression.

0:20:22 > 0:20:24So I'd like to refer you for some CBT.

0:20:24 > 0:20:26What's that?

0:20:26 > 0:20:29Just when someone talks to you, really.

0:20:29 > 0:20:31We can work out the best way to help you.

0:20:31 > 0:20:33And we can help you.

0:20:33 > 0:20:37I can help you. But you have to trust me.

0:20:37 > 0:20:38Think you can do that?

0:20:39 > 0:20:41OK.

0:20:41 > 0:20:44Cos there's no point getting started on all of this if you're not

0:20:44 > 0:20:46going to see it through.

0:20:46 > 0:20:48So...I need to hear you say it.

0:20:51 > 0:20:52I need to hear you say it.

0:20:52 > 0:20:54Otherwise I'm not going to waste everyone else's time.

0:20:54 > 0:20:56- OK.- OK, what...?

0:20:56 > 0:20:59- I'll try.- OK, good.

0:21:02 > 0:21:04- Jade said you were in Manchester. - Did she?

0:21:04 > 0:21:07- There's no point in asking him. He can't...- She doesn't know you're here, does she?

0:21:07 > 0:21:09- She's meeting us at the hospital. - Yeah, right(!)

0:21:09 > 0:21:12- Come on, Marcus.- Are you still here? - What?

0:21:12 > 0:21:15- The ambulance hasn't come yet? - Sorry...you are...?

0:21:15 > 0:21:17The doctor, I saw you just now...

0:21:17 > 0:21:20- I know what's going on. - Nothing's going on.- Liar.

0:21:20 > 0:21:22But of course you wouldn't remember...because of the amnesia.

0:21:22 > 0:21:24Sexual amnesia. That's what Jessica said just now.

0:21:24 > 0:21:27- Because it happens after sex, right? - You're having it off with him.

0:21:27 > 0:21:31- Don't be ridiculous. Marcus?- And that's why I can't remember what happened this morning?

0:21:31 > 0:21:33- Because we had sex?- I'm sorry... - That's what she told me.

0:21:33 > 0:21:38- She said we had sex this morning- No. We didn't.- You are so busted.

0:21:41 > 0:21:43None of this is your fault, OK? Just remember that.

0:21:43 > 0:21:45It will get better.

0:21:45 > 0:21:47- Where's the loo? - Through there.

0:21:49 > 0:21:52- It's not going to be easy. - But you can help him?

0:21:52 > 0:21:54Even if we can, it's going to be a long, hard slog.

0:21:54 > 0:21:55And there's no guarantees.

0:21:55 > 0:21:58- Anything I should know about? - No.

0:21:58 > 0:22:00Just been saying the sort of things to him I wish people had said

0:22:00 > 0:22:02to me when I was his age.

0:22:02 > 0:22:04PHONE RINGTONE - THE SWEENEY THEME

0:22:04 > 0:22:06Sorry. Karen again.

0:22:30 > 0:22:33You should have told me you were married.

0:22:33 > 0:22:37Jade and me are as good as finished. That's why I wanted to be with you.

0:22:37 > 0:22:39I really thought we had something.

0:22:39 > 0:22:41- We do. - Not if I can't trust you.

0:22:41 > 0:22:44- You can. - You told that woman that we had sex.

0:22:44 > 0:22:49- I didn't know she could hear me. - Well, now I'm going to lose my job.

0:22:49 > 0:22:51Look... I'll tell them it was my fault.

0:22:51 > 0:22:54That you didn't want to and that...I made you.

0:22:54 > 0:22:56Great. They'll still fire us both

0:22:56 > 0:22:59and everyone will think you're a rapist.

0:22:59 > 0:23:02- Any more bright ideas? - Have you heard anything?

0:23:02 > 0:23:04We're still waiting for the scan.

0:23:04 > 0:23:06The consultant said it could be that global amnesia thing.

0:23:06 > 0:23:08Yeah, he said it was possible.

0:23:08 > 0:23:12- Well, hopefully that's good news. - For some.

0:23:12 > 0:23:15They do say there's a link between migraines and

0:23:15 > 0:23:16transient global amnesia, so...

0:23:16 > 0:23:19- Does that mean it could happen again?- Probably not.

0:23:19 > 0:23:22But it's probably best to wait a bit after

0:23:22 > 0:23:25a migraine before, you know...have sex again!

0:23:25 > 0:23:27If we have sex again...

0:23:27 > 0:23:29No-one is going to find out, Jessica.

0:23:29 > 0:23:32- Your gobby mate's probably on the phone to your wife right now. - Even if she is,

0:23:32 > 0:23:35Jade isn't going to go around telling people I slept with my boss.

0:23:35 > 0:23:37No. Because women never do things like that, do they?

0:23:37 > 0:23:40- Jessica...- You just don't get it, do you?- I didn't mean to...

0:23:40 > 0:23:45- In his defence, it was an accident. - Was it?

0:23:45 > 0:23:48Look, if I can't trust you, there's no way we can make this work.

0:23:48 > 0:23:49Jessica! Wait...

0:23:49 > 0:23:52Call your wife. If you can remember her number...

0:23:55 > 0:23:58I can't believe this.

0:23:58 > 0:24:00She probably just needs time.

0:24:00 > 0:24:03She's the best thing that's ever happened to me.

0:24:03 > 0:24:04Maybe get her some flowers?

0:24:06 > 0:24:09And I'll never even remember what happened this morning. Will I?

0:24:09 > 0:24:13I'm afraid not, no, that bit of your memory's gone for good, I'm afraid.

0:24:13 > 0:24:15So is she, by the looks of it.

0:24:19 > 0:24:22- Oh, what are you doing here? - I had to see you.

0:24:22 > 0:24:24Kay! I'm working. Just leave me alone.

0:24:24 > 0:24:26No, I mean... I wanted to say sorry.

0:24:27 > 0:24:30All this stuff with my dad really scares me, Eesh.

0:24:30 > 0:24:33- I'm all over the place. - I know.

0:24:33 > 0:24:36- Marcus is having an affair with that woman. He admitted it.- Really?

0:24:36 > 0:24:38You should have seen the look on her face.

0:24:38 > 0:24:42- You going to tell his wife? - No. She's a cow. She deserves it.

0:24:42 > 0:24:44Come on, get in. I'll give you a lift.

0:24:46 > 0:24:49I've phoned school. I've told them you're going to be late.

0:24:49 > 0:24:50We'll give you a lift.

0:24:50 > 0:24:53You going to be OK getting home later?

0:24:53 > 0:24:55If you need me, I'm on my mobile. Or you can call Karen.

0:24:55 > 0:24:57I'm fine.

0:25:00 > 0:25:02Whoa. Easy, tiger.

0:25:02 > 0:25:05- What? - You, looking at Ayesha like that.

0:25:05 > 0:25:08I could put a word in for you if you want.

0:25:08 > 0:25:11Yeah, thanks, gramps, but I think I've got this one covered, you know.

0:25:11 > 0:25:13- Gramps?- Listen, if you want to talk about anything,

0:25:13 > 0:25:15my number's on the back, OK?

0:25:15 > 0:25:17Thanks.

0:25:17 > 0:25:19Let's go!

0:25:42 > 0:25:43So, we haven't met?

0:25:43 > 0:25:47Never. We leave messages, in the usual places.

0:25:47 > 0:25:50I was actually a temp for ages but now they've realised

0:25:50 > 0:25:51they can't do without me.

0:25:51 > 0:25:52I'm a receptionist.

0:25:52 > 0:25:54So you're trying to steal Karen's job.

0:25:54 > 0:25:56Who told you that?

0:25:56 > 0:25:59I don't think he really understood what he did to me.

0:25:59 > 0:26:02The best way you can get past this is to live

0:26:02 > 0:26:04a good and meaningful life.
