0:00:34 > 0:00:37- Is the pain relief helping? - Not really.

0:00:37 > 0:00:39Did you liaise with Dr Granger?

0:00:39 > 0:00:44Yes. I'm afraid he's had some personal issues to deal with over the last few days, so...

0:00:44 > 0:00:47Well, you'll be dealing with me for the foreseeable.

0:00:47 > 0:00:49And how much longer am I going to be stuck here?

0:00:49 > 0:00:51Well, apart from the pain,

0:00:51 > 0:00:53the recovery of your spinal injury is going well.

0:00:53 > 0:00:55I'll talk to your specialist,

0:00:55 > 0:00:58but let's hope you're not bedbound for too much longer.

0:00:58 > 0:00:59And then we can get our lives back.

0:00:59 > 0:01:03Well, as long as it doesn't involve trampolining or bungee-jumping, then, yes.

0:01:03 > 0:01:05- Hallelujah! - THEY CHUCKLE

0:01:05 > 0:01:08Mike, can you nip downstairs and get Dr Reid a cuppa?

0:01:08 > 0:01:10- Sure. Milk, no sugar? - Yes, please.

0:01:11 > 0:01:13Actually, I'm glad it's you and not Dr Granger.

0:01:13 > 0:01:15- Oh?- Not that there's anything wrong with him,

0:01:15 > 0:01:17but, um...I wanted to speak to a woman.

0:01:19 > 0:01:21Right. So, back to school today.

0:01:21 > 0:01:23And Mummy and Daddy are back to work.

0:01:23 > 0:01:26But don't worry, everyone is going to keep a close watch over you.

0:01:26 > 0:01:28But you still mustn't speak to any strangers. OK?

0:01:28 > 0:01:31You hear that, Joe? Speak to no-one but your teachers.

0:01:31 > 0:01:33I won't talk to anybody.

0:01:33 > 0:01:36Oh, you can speak to your friends, darling.

0:01:36 > 0:01:39Mummy and Daddy are going to pick you up today, so that's going to be brilliant.

0:01:39 > 0:01:41Why don't you go and get your bag?

0:01:41 > 0:01:44I have got an extra-special treat for your snack box.

0:01:49 > 0:01:51It's too much for him to take in.

0:01:52 > 0:01:54He's going to have to.

0:01:57 > 0:02:02Ah, good. I was just talking to Dr Reid about contraception.

0:02:03 > 0:02:07- O-OK.- Donna mentioned that once her recovery is complete, that you'll...

0:02:07 > 0:02:11I was saying that we had a really healthy sex life before the accident.

0:02:11 > 0:02:13And once I'm fully recovered...

0:02:13 > 0:02:17Well, things may not return automatically to the way they were.

0:02:17 > 0:02:22- DONNA SIGHS - It's been months. Feels longer.

0:02:23 > 0:02:25Yes.

0:02:26 > 0:02:29OK, let's assume that it goes go back to like it was before.

0:02:29 > 0:02:32The thing is, children aren't for us.

0:02:32 > 0:02:34And we hadn't really found a method of contraception

0:02:34 > 0:02:37- that we were both happy with long-term.- OK.

0:02:37 > 0:02:39I had a bad experience with the pill.

0:02:39 > 0:02:41Don't like chemical methods.

0:02:41 > 0:02:44Condoms, we had an accident, I had to have a termination.

0:02:46 > 0:02:48I think we want something more permanent, right?

0:02:50 > 0:02:53And the simplest option would be for Michael to get the snip.

0:02:55 > 0:02:56What are the risks?

0:02:56 > 0:03:00Fewer than snipping my tubes. It's less invasive.

0:03:00 > 0:03:04Well, that's true. To be honest, the risks are very low.

0:03:04 > 0:03:06Both for side effects and the procedure itself.

0:03:06 > 0:03:08Most people are in and out pretty quickly.

0:03:08 > 0:03:11- MESSAGE ALERT - Excuse me, I think I can hear my phone.

0:03:15 > 0:03:18He doesn't seem too comfortable with the idea.

0:03:18 > 0:03:21He's always like that. Decisive, he's not.

0:03:21 > 0:03:22You should see him trying to buy a car.

0:03:23 > 0:03:28But it really would help if you'd make him see that this is the most sensible option.

0:03:31 > 0:03:33- Morning, Karen.- Morning.

0:03:33 > 0:03:36- Is Valerie at the Campus? - No, she's over there.

0:03:36 > 0:03:39So if Zara and Daniel are coming back, why book a locum?

0:03:39 > 0:03:43Well, I had assumed Dr Granger and Dr Carmichael would need more time,

0:03:43 > 0:03:45so I just wanted to be ahead of the curve.

0:03:45 > 0:03:47Ah. You've paid your money, so you want to get your money's worth.

0:03:47 > 0:03:49Indeed.

0:03:50 > 0:03:52- Morning.- Morning.

0:03:53 > 0:03:56Detective Inspector Stanton for Dr Carmichael.

0:03:59 > 0:04:03No question, I underestimated the lengths the gang would go to.

0:04:03 > 0:04:05But now I know what we're dealing with,

0:04:05 > 0:04:08I can make sure there's more patrols past your house.

0:04:08 > 0:04:11I can make sure the police presence is more visible.

0:04:11 > 0:04:13CCTV cameras around your home.

0:04:13 > 0:04:15We can protect you.

0:04:15 > 0:04:17Just like you've been doing this past week?

0:04:17 > 0:04:20- That won't happen again, I can assure you.- Nothing's changed.

0:04:20 > 0:04:22We don't feel it's safe enough to give evidence.

0:04:22 > 0:04:25And I completely understand that.

0:04:25 > 0:04:28But you have to trust me, they were just sabre-rattling.

0:04:28 > 0:04:30They're not dumb enough to actually harm your son

0:04:30 > 0:04:33because they know that would bring a world of pain

0:04:33 > 0:04:34crashing down on their heads.

0:04:34 > 0:04:37You want me to gamble with his safety?

0:04:37 > 0:04:38No, of course not.

0:04:38 > 0:04:40But if someone like you is too...

0:04:42 > 0:04:45- Not scared, but...- No, call it what it is. We're scared!

0:04:45 > 0:04:47Only an idiot wouldn't be!

0:04:47 > 0:04:51If someone like you doesn't stand up to them, then they've won.

0:04:53 > 0:04:55And then they still own the streets.

0:04:56 > 0:05:00But that's not your problem, in your nice suburban home.

0:05:00 > 0:05:04Now, that's emotional blackmail and I will stand up to that.

0:05:04 > 0:05:06I apologise. I didn't...

0:05:06 > 0:05:08Yeah, you did.

0:05:10 > 0:05:13Work. They need some paperwork e-mailed through.

0:05:13 > 0:05:15I want you to stay and listen to Dr Reid.

0:05:17 > 0:05:21Look...it's the idea of the procedure, the pain,

0:05:21 > 0:05:23staying conscious through...

0:05:23 > 0:05:25You'll be good as gold in a day or two!

0:05:25 > 0:05:27But I-I...I'm not saying...

0:05:29 > 0:05:33I've read horror stories. Guys having no sensation.

0:05:33 > 0:05:35Losing a testicle after the operation.

0:05:37 > 0:05:41I know it's unusual, but I can't help thinking about it.

0:05:41 > 0:05:44Well, have you had any operations or procedures before?

0:05:44 > 0:05:46- No.- He hasn't had anything.

0:05:46 > 0:05:49He's been in ridiculously good health all his life.

0:05:49 > 0:05:53It's understandable why an operation like this would seem like a big deal.

0:05:53 > 0:05:56Look, I can't make the decision for you,

0:05:56 > 0:06:00all I can do is give you some facts and advice.

0:06:00 > 0:06:04And they show that it's the simplest, least-risk solution, right?

0:06:04 > 0:06:07Sterilisation would be more invasive and traumatic, for sure.

0:06:07 > 0:06:11Plus, you'd have to factor in the lengthy recovery period.

0:06:11 > 0:06:13You're right. A vasectomy carries fewer risks.

0:06:15 > 0:06:18Can I ask, have you been reading about this on the internet?

0:06:19 > 0:06:21Yes.

0:06:21 > 0:06:25Look, the internet is always more scary than real life.

0:06:26 > 0:06:29- I know. It's not rational. - Look...- But...

0:06:29 > 0:06:32I tell you what, why don't I ask the Mill to make an appointment

0:06:32 > 0:06:35with you and Dr Granger, if he's available?

0:06:35 > 0:06:37You may feel more comfortable talking to a man.

0:06:37 > 0:06:40And in the meantime, I can gather some more information for you.

0:06:40 > 0:06:42Right.

0:06:42 > 0:06:46Ooh, Daniel. I meant to ask, how's little Joe?

0:06:46 > 0:06:48Oh, thank you. Yeah, um...

0:06:48 > 0:06:51a little bewildered and scared, but he'll be just fine.

0:06:51 > 0:06:54Good. And I'm really pleased to see the police are following up.

0:06:54 > 0:06:56They take these things very seriously.

0:06:56 > 0:06:57What do you mean, following up?

0:06:57 > 0:06:59The DI in with Zara now.

0:06:59 > 0:07:01Did you get a name?

0:07:01 > 0:07:03- Stanley?- Stanton?

0:07:03 > 0:07:05- That's it.- Bloody no!

0:07:08 > 0:07:10Get out!

0:07:10 > 0:07:13- Daniel.- You have absolutely no right in trying to coerce us.

0:07:13 > 0:07:16- He's not coercing. - Why didn't you tell me he was here?

0:07:16 > 0:07:19Because I'm a grown-up who's perfectly capable of thinking for herself!

0:07:19 > 0:07:23Oh, lovely(!) Well, it affects me, too, and Joe!

0:07:23 > 0:07:26I was just pointing out that this is how the gangs thrive.

0:07:26 > 0:07:28They rule by fear.

0:07:28 > 0:07:30But you can stand up to them.

0:07:30 > 0:07:31Don't put all this on us.

0:07:31 > 0:07:35We're not compromising our son's safety for you or anybody else.

0:07:35 > 0:07:36Now, get out!

0:07:36 > 0:07:39Think about what I said, please.

0:07:45 > 0:07:47I need ten seconds of your time.

0:07:47 > 0:07:50- OK. Ten seconds, no more. - Yeah, I don't like saying this

0:07:50 > 0:07:53and I'm probably never going to have cause to say it ever again,

0:07:53 > 0:07:56but, Jimmi...you were right. OK?

0:07:56 > 0:08:00My online dating experiment, I was offering myself up

0:08:00 > 0:08:03like some kind of consolation prize to lonely women

0:08:03 > 0:08:05and it...it failed.

0:08:05 > 0:08:07You do know not to let them know that, don't you?

0:08:07 > 0:08:09It is brutal out there.

0:08:09 > 0:08:12- I mean, like, properly ferocious. - That bad?

0:08:12 > 0:08:15I mean, one or two of them, they were all right-ish,

0:08:15 > 0:08:19but from now on, I've decided I'm going to stick to the women I meet in the gaming world.

0:08:19 > 0:08:22- But not real women? - No. Virtual women.

0:08:22 > 0:08:25Well, that's really good to know. Er...ten seconds is up.

0:08:25 > 0:08:27They're much more predictable. Less hard work.

0:08:27 > 0:08:30Er...you know, if you chose them because you actually liked them,

0:08:30 > 0:08:32- rather than pity them... - I wasn't pitying them.

0:08:32 > 0:08:35It was more, you know, they needed help and I was there to offer it.

0:08:35 > 0:08:38Great. Well, we could talk about this over a beer and I've got a patient due, so...

0:08:38 > 0:08:40Let's do it now. I'm more important than your patient.

0:08:40 > 0:08:42Er...I don't think you are, actually.

0:08:42 > 0:08:44Where exactly did it go wrong?

0:08:47 > 0:08:49Where did it go right?

0:08:49 > 0:08:52Oh, I'm all for staying on top of the latest research and treatments.

0:08:52 > 0:08:54The worst thing that can happen to any surgery

0:08:54 > 0:08:57is that they get fossilised, you know?

0:08:57 > 0:08:59Patients expect us to be on top of these things.

0:09:01 > 0:09:03Oh, yes. Yes, I-I-I agree.

0:09:04 > 0:09:07There is a slight problem.

0:09:07 > 0:09:10I-I booked you because I thought that two of our senior doctors...

0:09:10 > 0:09:12Well, they needed some more time off.

0:09:12 > 0:09:15Are you cancelling the booking? Because that's just wasting my time.

0:09:15 > 0:09:18No. No. Er...we will be putting you to work.

0:09:18 > 0:09:22The problem is that we are struggling for space.

0:09:22 > 0:09:24We have run out of consulting rooms.

0:09:24 > 0:09:27So we will be putting you to work in the nurse's room.

0:09:27 > 0:09:30A nurse's room? Are you serious?

0:09:31 > 0:09:33Well, needs must, I'm afraid.

0:09:34 > 0:09:36- SHE SIGHS - Fine.

0:09:36 > 0:09:39Right. Let me introduce you to the rest of team.

0:09:47 > 0:09:50Oh, right. Er...Dr Haskey, Dr Reid,

0:09:50 > 0:09:54I would like to introduce you to our new locum, Dr Evans.

0:09:54 > 0:09:55Welcome.

0:09:55 > 0:09:57Hi. Emma. Nice to meet you.

0:09:57 > 0:10:00Just call me Gwen.

0:10:00 > 0:10:01Reading up on some notes?

0:10:05 > 0:10:07Oh, hello. Um...excuse my mouthful.

0:10:07 > 0:10:09I'm Al. I work here.

0:10:09 > 0:10:12- Are you having short-term memory problems?- Hm?

0:10:12 > 0:10:14Al and I already know each other.

0:10:14 > 0:10:17- We had a date the other day.- Really?

0:10:17 > 0:10:20Well, more like blood sport. Online dating.

0:10:20 > 0:10:22Oh.

0:10:22 > 0:10:25And here I am in your practice. Didn't see that one coming.

0:10:25 > 0:10:27Mm.

0:10:27 > 0:10:30Well, er...perhaps we should, er...

0:10:34 > 0:10:35- Al?- It's not what you think.

0:10:37 > 0:10:38EMMA LAUGHS

0:10:43 > 0:10:45He is a crass, insensitive bully.

0:10:45 > 0:10:49- As opposed to, what, a nice, sensitive bully?- What?

0:10:49 > 0:10:51He has no grasp of what could have happened to Joe.

0:10:51 > 0:10:53Oh, I think he has a better grasp than we do.

0:10:53 > 0:10:55OK, all right, look, um...

0:10:55 > 0:10:57it doesn't bear thinking about

0:10:57 > 0:11:00what those animals might've done to Joe.

0:11:00 > 0:11:02But this guy has to understand

0:11:02 > 0:11:05that we are not prepared to risk Joe again. OK? That's it.

0:11:05 > 0:11:07But he does have a point, though.

0:11:07 > 0:11:10If people like us won't stand up to them...

0:11:10 > 0:11:13People like us? People like what?

0:11:13 > 0:11:15Like, er...superheroes?

0:11:15 > 0:11:18People who have children?

0:11:18 > 0:11:20Since when did this become our responsibility?

0:11:20 > 0:11:21OK, what I meant was

0:11:21 > 0:11:24intelligent, courageous people who don't live on the estate!

0:11:24 > 0:11:27Wow, what a snob. And stop taking his side!

0:11:27 > 0:11:29I am not being a snob and I am not taking...

0:11:29 > 0:11:31- KNOCK AT DOOR - Yes?

0:11:31 > 0:11:33What?!

0:11:35 > 0:11:37I, er...I just wanted to introduce you to our new locum.

0:11:37 > 0:11:38Hi!

0:11:42 > 0:11:43Hello.

0:11:45 > 0:11:46KNOCK AT DOOR

0:11:47 > 0:11:49Your first patient.

0:11:49 > 0:11:52That fits with my consultation timetable.

0:11:52 > 0:11:55Oh, don't ask. Take a seat.

0:11:55 > 0:11:57Oh. Sorry.

0:11:58 > 0:12:00- Name?- Cheryl Hayes.

0:12:00 > 0:12:02And what can I do for you, Cheryl?

0:12:02 > 0:12:04It's my nose. I want some plastic surgery done on it.

0:12:04 > 0:12:07A nose job? What's wrong with it?

0:12:07 > 0:12:10It's horrible. It's ruining my life.

0:12:10 > 0:12:13I think your nose looks great. You look stunning.

0:12:13 > 0:12:16It's ugly. Look, I can see people staring at me constantly.

0:12:16 > 0:12:19I'm a flight attendant and people are looking at me,

0:12:19 > 0:12:21at my face, all the time!

0:12:21 > 0:12:23And I can just feel the confidence drain right out of me!

0:12:23 > 0:12:25I need to stop you there.

0:12:25 > 0:12:27Cosmetic surgery isn't available on the NHS.

0:12:27 > 0:12:31There's no point in carrying on this conversation unless you can prove

0:12:31 > 0:12:33there's an actual medical benefit to a rhinoplasty.

0:12:33 > 0:12:36So...what have you got?

0:12:38 > 0:12:40That's the latest information on vasectomies.

0:12:40 > 0:12:42And I can tell you, it's a lot more reliable

0:12:42 > 0:12:44than anything you'll find on the internet.

0:12:44 > 0:12:45Is Dr Granger coming in, too?

0:12:45 > 0:12:47No, he's not available.

0:12:47 > 0:12:49But he's happy for me to advise you, if you are?

0:12:49 > 0:12:50It's reversible, yeah?

0:12:51 > 0:12:53Yes-ish.

0:12:53 > 0:12:56A reversal wouldn't be available on the NHS

0:12:56 > 0:12:59and the chances of it being successful

0:12:59 > 0:13:01are significantly decreased

0:13:01 > 0:13:03the longer you wait after the original procedure.

0:13:05 > 0:13:08But I thought you had both decided you didn't want children?

0:13:08 > 0:13:09We don't.

0:13:10 > 0:13:13Well, Donna feels more strongly about it than I do.

0:13:13 > 0:13:16- Ah.- Look, if we do go for something permanent,

0:13:16 > 0:13:21then, of course, it'd be the vasectomy.

0:13:21 > 0:13:24But you're not sure about permanent?

0:13:24 > 0:13:28I feel a little cornered into this.

0:13:28 > 0:13:31Right. Have you told her that?

0:13:31 > 0:13:32It's not easy.

0:13:34 > 0:13:36We had that termination two years ago.

0:13:36 > 0:13:38It was a difficult decision.

0:13:40 > 0:13:42The baby was going to have Down's syndrome

0:13:42 > 0:13:45and I know that at our age, we're high risk.

0:13:46 > 0:13:48It'd be horrible to put Donna through...

0:13:48 > 0:13:52Well, both of us, through that wringer again.

0:13:52 > 0:13:56For a week, I thought I was going to be a father and...

0:13:56 > 0:13:59- I liked it, which I didn't expect. - Hm.

0:14:01 > 0:14:02A week.

0:14:02 > 0:14:04How pregnant was Donna?

0:14:04 > 0:14:06Almost two months.

0:14:09 > 0:14:11Can you just, um...give me a second?

0:14:11 > 0:14:13If you just pop back into the waiting room?

0:14:13 > 0:14:15- What, is something wrong?- No, no.

0:14:15 > 0:14:17I just need to check something. I'll come and get you.

0:14:30 > 0:14:32PHONE RINGS

0:14:36 > 0:14:37Hello?

0:14:37 > 0:14:40Yes. Yes, this is Mrs Tembe speaking.

0:14:40 > 0:14:43I am the practice manager, yes.

0:14:43 > 0:14:45I understand you wish to make a complaint.

0:14:47 > 0:14:48Ri...

0:14:48 > 0:14:50Against which member of staff?

0:14:53 > 0:14:56Right.

0:14:56 > 0:14:59Hm. Yeah, if I had a line of jewellery,

0:14:59 > 0:15:02it would definitely be cat-themed.

0:15:02 > 0:15:05And silver, probably, because I'm not that keen on gold.

0:15:05 > 0:15:08Because gold can be quite tacky if you get it wrong, don't you think?

0:15:08 > 0:15:10I hadn't really thought about it.

0:15:10 > 0:15:11Al, would you like a drink?

0:15:11 > 0:15:13Er...no.

0:15:13 > 0:15:15Hi.

0:15:15 > 0:15:16Hello.

0:15:17 > 0:15:20Don't worry, I'm only here a few days.

0:15:20 > 0:15:23I don't feel awkward about working with someone I had one bad date with.

0:15:23 > 0:15:25- Bad date?- It was, wasn't it?

0:15:26 > 0:15:27Look on the plus side,

0:15:27 > 0:15:30at least it left you with all that extra time for your video games.

0:15:30 > 0:15:33Save engaging with real women.

0:15:33 > 0:15:35- OK, that's mean.- True, though.

0:15:37 > 0:15:40Tell you what, why don't we go for a drink later?

0:15:40 > 0:15:42Socially, not as a date.

0:15:44 > 0:15:46I'll buy you a pint as a peace offering.

0:15:47 > 0:15:50Oh, come on, it's what people who work together do.

0:15:50 > 0:15:52Unless you want to keep squirming every time?

0:15:52 > 0:15:55Whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa. Stop the bus. I'm not squirming anywhere.

0:15:55 > 0:15:59Fine, let's go to the same place as before. The Icon, yeah?

0:15:59 > 0:16:01- OK.- Great, I'll see you there.

0:16:01 > 0:16:03Michael said that they had the termination

0:16:03 > 0:16:05because the baby had Down's syndrome.

0:16:05 > 0:16:09But the termination took place at about eight weeks,

0:16:09 > 0:16:12which is at least a month before any screening or diagnostics

0:16:12 > 0:16:14could've been carried out.

0:16:14 > 0:16:17I thought you were dealing with this?

0:16:17 > 0:16:20The termination, er...had nothing to do with Down's.

0:16:20 > 0:16:23Right. Well, did she give a reason?

0:16:23 > 0:16:24No. No.

0:16:24 > 0:16:26But you think she lied to Michael about it?

0:16:26 > 0:16:29Well, yes. So, what do we do about it?

0:16:29 > 0:16:31Nothing. It's none of our business.

0:16:31 > 0:16:33If he's not telling her that he wants kids,

0:16:33 > 0:16:35then isn't he lying to her?

0:16:35 > 0:16:37Well, it's hardly the same thing.

0:16:37 > 0:16:39And if she is lying to him,

0:16:39 > 0:16:41well, haven't we been sucked into the lie, as well?

0:16:41 > 0:16:43She hasn't lied to us, so no.

0:16:43 > 0:16:45Look, here's the thing,

0:16:45 > 0:16:48I have a patient who is considering a procedure

0:16:48 > 0:16:50based on false information.

0:16:51 > 0:16:56If I correct that and give him the right information,

0:16:56 > 0:16:58would I be breaking patient confidentiality?

0:16:58 > 0:17:01Don't go there, Emma. No-one will thank you for it.

0:17:01 > 0:17:03What, so we just say nothing?

0:17:13 > 0:17:15Michael. Sorry to keep you waiting.

0:17:15 > 0:17:18I just wanted to run a couple of things past Dr Granger

0:17:18 > 0:17:20in case he had anything to add, since you've seen mostly him.

0:17:20 > 0:17:22So, are we done?

0:17:22 > 0:17:24Yes. Yes, I think so.

0:17:24 > 0:17:26Good. Well, I'll have a look at this lot

0:17:26 > 0:17:29- and I won't believe everything I read on the internet!- Good.

0:17:29 > 0:17:31- Bye, Dr Reid.- Bye.

0:17:35 > 0:17:37- KNOCK AT DOOR - Come in.

0:17:39 > 0:17:41- Miss Hayes. - Oh, right. Thank you, Miss Pitman.

0:17:41 > 0:17:43Please, take a seat.

0:17:44 > 0:17:46Now, before speaking to Dr Evans,

0:17:46 > 0:17:49I wanted to hear your version in person.

0:17:49 > 0:17:52- And then perhaps we could discuss this with her.- OK.

0:17:52 > 0:17:57Now, my understanding is Dr Evans has declined

0:17:57 > 0:18:00to refer you for cosmetic surgery on your nose?

0:18:00 > 0:18:01Flat-out refused.

0:18:01 > 0:18:07Very well. I should point out that Dr Evans is a locum doctor,

0:18:07 > 0:18:11so she has very little wiggle room when it comes to referrals.

0:18:11 > 0:18:14However, she is, in fact, correct.

0:18:16 > 0:18:20We cannot refer you to an NHS cosmetic surgeon

0:18:20 > 0:18:23for purely cosmetic reasons.

0:18:23 > 0:18:26There needs to be a medical reason.

0:18:26 > 0:18:29Look, she wanted me to see a shrink, like I'm a nutter!

0:18:29 > 0:18:32Well, we do not use such words.

0:18:32 > 0:18:36I will have to clarify this with Dr Evans,

0:18:36 > 0:18:41but I assume there are no physical reasons for such a referral?

0:18:41 > 0:18:44You mean, like, she asked if I had any problems breathing,

0:18:44 > 0:18:45if I was in any pain?

0:18:45 > 0:18:48No, but I get depressed over this.

0:18:48 > 0:18:51She would, also, I assume, need to see

0:18:51 > 0:18:56if there are any psychological justifications for the surgery.

0:18:56 > 0:18:59I told her about my nose and she didn't believe me.

0:18:59 > 0:19:01She said it looked great.

0:19:03 > 0:19:07Look, it sounds to me like she was just trying to be helpful.

0:19:09 > 0:19:14And she has referred you to the appropriate place to receive help.

0:19:15 > 0:19:17And the compliment?

0:19:17 > 0:19:20Although unconventional and a little inappropriate,

0:19:20 > 0:19:23is it really the basis for a complaint?

0:19:29 > 0:19:32- Has Al gone?- He left a minute ago. Off to the Icon.

0:19:32 > 0:19:35Oh, I hope it's not internet dating again. I don't think it's worked out too well so far.

0:19:35 > 0:19:38He's meeting Gwen. But, listen, you don't know the half of it.

0:19:38 > 0:19:40He only chooses women that he feels sorry for

0:19:40 > 0:19:43- and then he tries to build up their self-esteem.- A-hem!

0:19:43 > 0:19:45- There was this woman he met last week...- A-hem!

0:19:45 > 0:19:47..he said she was total...

0:19:48 > 0:19:50Oh, I've just realised, er...

0:19:50 > 0:19:53Er...Dr Evans, may I have a word with you before you go, please?

0:19:55 > 0:19:56WHISPERS: Ouch!

0:19:58 > 0:20:00OK, I will.

0:20:03 > 0:20:05- What did they want?- Nothing.

0:20:05 > 0:20:08Just, er...checking up on us.

0:20:08 > 0:20:10They've been asked to do that every once in a while.

0:20:10 > 0:20:13That's what this has come to.

0:20:13 > 0:20:15We've got the police baby-sitting us.

0:20:15 > 0:20:17That's good, isn't it?

0:20:17 > 0:20:18HE SIGHS

0:20:20 > 0:20:22SHE SIGHS

0:20:29 > 0:20:31HE SIGHS

0:20:37 > 0:20:40PHONE RINGS

0:20:44 > 0:20:46HE SIGHS

0:20:46 > 0:20:49- Dr Reid! Is something wrong? - Er...no, no.

0:20:51 > 0:20:53- How's Donna?- Yeah, good.

0:20:53 > 0:20:56Thinking about what we were talking about earlier,

0:20:56 > 0:20:59I take it, with her spinal injuries,

0:20:59 > 0:21:02that she wouldn't be able to cope with a pregnancy, anyway?

0:21:02 > 0:21:04Well, it's like any traumatic injury.

0:21:04 > 0:21:08As well as it may heal, things are never as strong as they were before.

0:21:08 > 0:21:12So, yes, you're right, a pregnancy could compromise her recovery.

0:21:12 > 0:21:15What with that and the risk of Down's, I feel like

0:21:15 > 0:21:17someone's trying to tell me something.

0:21:17 > 0:21:20- I'm not telling you anything. - No, I mean, the cosmic.

0:21:20 > 0:21:23Someone's telling me something. Get the snip.

0:21:24 > 0:21:26I'd, er...better look in on Donna.

0:21:26 > 0:21:30Before you do, I've got another couple of questions about, you know.

0:21:30 > 0:21:31Saves me looking them up.

0:21:34 > 0:21:36PHONE RINGS I'll take this out here.

0:21:39 > 0:21:43- Tom.- Zara.- Before you say anything, this cannot continue.

0:21:43 > 0:21:45If Daniel knew you were pushing me on this,

0:21:45 > 0:21:47he would be on the phone to your DCI before...

0:21:47 > 0:21:49OK, yeah, listen, listen, fair enough.

0:21:49 > 0:21:51I've just got back from a crime scene.

0:21:51 > 0:21:52A young man's just been knee-capped.

0:21:52 > 0:21:55By the very same people you were going to testify against.

0:21:55 > 0:21:58No-one saw anything, there were no witnesses, except there were.

0:21:58 > 0:22:01But it's not happening on your doorstep, though, is it?

0:22:01 > 0:22:05Good night, Tom. Don't do this again.

0:22:17 > 0:22:19Was it important?

0:22:19 > 0:22:21Not really. It was a sales call.

0:22:22 > 0:22:24- Sort of.- Right.

0:22:31 > 0:22:33You are late...again.

0:22:33 > 0:22:35Am I?

0:22:35 > 0:22:39Is this some kind of "treat 'em mean, keep 'em keen" thing you've got going on?

0:22:39 > 0:22:42No. Do you think this is another pity date?

0:22:42 > 0:22:45- A what? - Another one for you to brag about?

0:22:45 > 0:22:48How you bestowed your largesse on yet another poor, desperate woman?

0:22:48 > 0:22:50I've got no idea what you're talking about.

0:22:50 > 0:22:52I overheard one of the staff talking about

0:22:52 > 0:22:54how you find women on the internet and date them out of charity.

0:22:54 > 0:22:57Ah, I see. I think there's been a misunderstanding.

0:22:57 > 0:23:00Really? Because it sounds to me like one of the most fake,

0:23:00 > 0:23:01manipulative things I've ever heard.

0:23:01 > 0:23:03No, no, no. You misunderstand.

0:23:03 > 0:23:05You see, those other women, I...

0:23:05 > 0:23:07I liked them. They were nice.

0:23:09 > 0:23:11My friends thought I should have given you a second chance.

0:23:11 > 0:23:13I need new friends.

0:23:13 > 0:23:15You need all the friends you can get.

0:23:15 > 0:23:17LAUGHTER

0:23:17 > 0:23:21How did someone as bland and sad and creepy as you get to be so arrogant?

0:23:35 > 0:23:37- Cheers.- Cheers.

0:23:37 > 0:23:39EMMA KNOCKS ON DOOR

0:23:39 > 0:23:42- Hi, Donna.- Hi.

0:23:42 > 0:23:44I just thought I'd pop by with your new prescription.

0:23:44 > 0:23:46I was passing anyway, so...

0:23:46 > 0:23:48Thanks.

0:23:52 > 0:23:55Why did you really come? That could have been dealt with tomorrow.

0:24:01 > 0:24:05Donna, the termination that you had two years ago...

0:24:06 > 0:24:10..Michael believes it was because of Down's syndrome, doesn't he?

0:24:11 > 0:24:15What he doesn't know is that it was too early to test for Down's.

0:24:15 > 0:24:17And you've taken advantage of that.

0:24:17 > 0:24:19What's that got to do with you?

0:24:19 > 0:24:22Well, you asked my opinion as to what was best for you.

0:24:22 > 0:24:27Now, based on the information I had then, I recommended a vasectomy.

0:24:27 > 0:24:29But based on the information I have now,

0:24:29 > 0:24:31I would say sterilisation for you.

0:24:31 > 0:24:34Michael and I have a great relationship.

0:24:34 > 0:24:35Right.

0:24:37 > 0:24:39Look, not every woman is desperate to be a mother.

0:24:39 > 0:24:41I've never felt maternal.

0:24:41 > 0:24:43That's fair enough. But doesn't Michael deserve to know?

0:24:45 > 0:24:47I'm never going to have children. It's my body.

0:24:47 > 0:24:50Look, I'm not saying that you should have children.

0:24:50 > 0:24:51Well, good!

0:24:51 > 0:24:53But what you're doing is deceitful.

0:24:53 > 0:24:56Making Michael believe it's because of a risk of Down's syndrome.

0:24:58 > 0:24:59Goodbye, Dr Reid.

0:24:59 > 0:25:03You might wake up one morning and decide you've had enough of him.

0:25:03 > 0:25:05I love him. I'm not going to.

0:25:05 > 0:25:06Or you may have another accident.

0:25:06 > 0:25:09You're taking away his opportunity to have a child with somebody else.

0:25:09 > 0:25:12- And because of that... - You can't say any of this to him.

0:25:12 > 0:25:14Confidentiality.

0:25:17 > 0:25:20Confidentiality is not an absolute, Donna.

0:25:21 > 0:25:24You asked me to give Michael my medical advice.

0:25:24 > 0:25:27And because of that, I have a duty of care towards him, too.

0:25:29 > 0:25:30- DONNA WHISPERS:- Don't do this.

0:25:30 > 0:25:32Dinner!

0:25:32 > 0:25:33Great!

0:25:33 > 0:25:37While you're both here, I've decided.

0:25:37 > 0:25:39I'm going to have the vasectomy.

0:25:40 > 0:25:42Could you refer me?

0:25:42 > 0:25:43I'm afraid not.

0:25:44 > 0:25:46Why not?

0:25:46 > 0:25:48You'll have to talk to Donna about that.

0:25:50 > 0:25:51I'll see myself out.

0:25:56 > 0:25:58Bill?

0:25:58 > 0:26:00Bill? Bill, you old codger!

0:26:00 > 0:26:03Listen, I'm going to beat you with my lucky clubs

0:26:03 > 0:26:05and make you cry like a girl!

0:26:05 > 0:26:07I'll see you!

0:26:07 > 0:26:08DANIEL CHUCKLES

0:26:08 > 0:26:10BANG!

0:26:10 > 0:26:11What the hell was that?!

0:26:11 > 0:26:13What the...?!

0:26:13 > 0:26:15No, don't go outside! I'll call the police!

0:26:16 > 0:26:18- Daniel!- Toerags!

0:26:18 > 0:26:19Daniel!

0:26:21 > 0:26:24Daniel? Hello, Tom? Daniel!

0:26:27 > 0:26:28- Here he is!- Here he is!

0:26:28 > 0:26:30- Did you take my son?- We want war!

0:26:30 > 0:26:32Yeah, we did take your son!

0:26:32 > 0:26:34ALL SHOUT AT ONCE

0:26:35 > 0:26:36Daniel!

0:26:36 > 0:26:39- Come on!- Oh, you're a weak man! You're a weak man!

0:26:39 > 0:26:40You're a weak...

0:26:42 > 0:26:44Daniel!

0:26:44 > 0:26:46Daniel!

0:26:47 > 0:26:50Are you OK?! What have they done to you?!

0:26:50 > 0:26:52DANIEL GROANS

0:26:52 > 0:26:54ZARA BREATHES HARD

0:26:54 > 0:26:56It's OK! It's OK! Everything is going to be OK!

0:26:58 > 0:27:00ZARA WHISPERS: Daniel!

0:27:02 > 0:27:05Daniel! I'm not leaving you!

0:27:05 > 0:27:07Daniel, stay with me!

0:27:07 > 0:27:10- Sorry, um...which one of you is the father?- BOTH: He is.

0:27:10 > 0:27:12This group is our safe place.

0:27:12 > 0:27:15What's said in this room stays in this room.

0:27:15 > 0:27:20I am sure that Daniel is going to survive this.

0:27:21 > 0:27:22Are you?
