0:00:28 > 0:00:30Daniel?
0:00:36 > 0:00:37How are you feeling?
0:00:39 > 0:00:41Still here.
0:00:43 > 0:00:46Of course you are. You don't get away that easily!
0:00:51 > 0:00:54You can leave us.
0:00:56 > 0:00:58What's the matter, can't cope with the competition?
0:01:01 > 0:01:04Oh, here. Here, here.
0:01:06 > 0:01:08Slowly.
0:01:13 > 0:01:15You gave us a shock.
0:01:17 > 0:01:18Joe?
0:01:18 > 0:01:21He's fine. He's with Freddie's mum.
0:01:23 > 0:01:25Do you remember what happened?
0:01:26 > 0:01:28Some kids outside.
0:01:29 > 0:01:32You went out there and one of them...
0:01:33 > 0:01:35Shh. It's OK.
0:01:36 > 0:01:38No, it's not. I'm sorry.
0:01:43 > 0:01:45It's over. I promise I'm not going to testify.
0:01:47 > 0:01:49Even if we have to leave Letherbridge, so be it.
0:01:49 > 0:01:54I never expected anyone to get hurt, especially you.
0:01:54 > 0:01:55I know.
0:01:56 > 0:01:57I know.
0:02:06 > 0:02:08Careful.It hurts.
0:02:08 > 0:02:10I told you, didn't I? That's what happens... No, love.
0:02:10 > 0:02:12I can't leave him! What if someone takes him?
0:02:12 > 0:02:15They won't. I promise. He'll get cold.
0:02:15 > 0:02:17Put the blanket on him.
0:02:17 > 0:02:19Come on, Dr Haskey will be wondering where you are.
0:02:19 > 0:02:22You don't want to keep him waiting, do you?No.Good boy.
0:02:22 > 0:02:25Do you think he knows about the new Ultima Man?
0:02:25 > 0:02:27He might do, knowing Dr Haskey.
0:02:29 > 0:02:31PHONE RINGS
0:02:31 > 0:02:33Oh, Heston.
0:02:38 > 0:02:39Hi, Ruhma. Thanks for doing this.
0:02:39 > 0:02:44Er, as I said, we picked Alice up for aggressive begging.
0:02:44 > 0:02:47She's a bit of a tough nut to crack so she hasn't really said much,
0:02:47 > 0:02:49but even I can tell that she's pregnant.
0:02:49 > 0:02:52I thought it best that she get checked out before we lock her up.
0:02:52 > 0:02:54Yeah, has she seen a doctor?
0:02:54 > 0:02:58Well, she's been on the streets for a couple of years so probably not.
0:02:58 > 0:02:59OK.Thanks.
0:02:59 > 0:03:02Hey, Alice. Er, I'm Ruhma.
0:03:02 > 0:03:04I'm a midwife here.
0:03:04 > 0:03:07I just want to check that you and the baby are OK.
0:03:07 > 0:03:09Is that all right?
0:03:09 > 0:03:11Yeah? Do you want to bring your bag?
0:03:17 > 0:03:21There is a new one, coming out soon. It's called Inter-Galactic...
0:03:21 > 0:03:24Inter-Dimensional Man - he can fly through black holes.
0:03:24 > 0:03:26A kid at school, Tyler, he's already got it.
0:03:26 > 0:03:28Well, he's a very lucky chap.
0:03:28 > 0:03:30Oh, you're quite hot, aren't you?
0:03:30 > 0:03:33His temperature was fine this morning.Even so, it's 38.2.
0:03:33 > 0:03:36How can it change so much in a few hours?
0:03:36 > 0:03:39Let's see. Elliot, mate, will you lie down for us?
0:03:39 > 0:03:42I just thought it was the blueberries.
0:03:42 > 0:03:45He ate an entire value pack before I got back from work yesterday.
0:03:45 > 0:03:48Do you think it's something else? Oh, well, we'll see. Come here.
0:03:48 > 0:03:49If you put your arms by your side.
0:03:49 > 0:03:52I'm just going to press down on your tummy and you let me know
0:03:52 > 0:03:54if it hurts by saying the word "Ow" really loud. OK?
0:03:56 > 0:03:58Ow!There?
0:03:58 > 0:03:59Not there, but lower down.
0:03:59 > 0:04:02It moves. Yesterday it was lower down
0:04:02 > 0:04:04and today it's more in his side. Any nausea?
0:04:04 > 0:04:07He was sick last night, but it was just blueberries. That's why
0:04:07 > 0:04:10I thought that's what it was. Well, that or stress.
0:04:10 > 0:04:12He's still finding school really difficult.
0:04:12 > 0:04:17As am I. I mean, not school, but my job, having to take time off and...
0:04:17 > 0:04:18I thought we were making improvements
0:04:18 > 0:04:20on the school situation? I thought that you and I
0:04:20 > 0:04:23had an agreement that we were just going to be our own men.
0:04:23 > 0:04:25We weren't going to worry about things so much?
0:04:25 > 0:04:27I tried that. Now I've joined the Animal Lovers Club.
0:04:27 > 0:04:29Yeah, his teacher suggested it.
0:04:29 > 0:04:31He really needs to get out there and participate.
0:04:31 > 0:04:33Oh, fair enough.
0:04:33 > 0:04:36They've got this initiation thing - the Animal Lovers Club,
0:04:36 > 0:04:39not the teachers - and he has to look after a snail for a week.
0:04:39 > 0:04:41Seriously, a snail?
0:04:41 > 0:04:44Well, that shouldn't be too taxing, should it?
0:04:44 > 0:04:45He's a giant one called John.
0:04:45 > 0:04:47And today's the last day of looking after him.
0:04:47 > 0:04:49And tonight I get to... Ow!
0:04:49 > 0:04:52Oh, that's really tender, isn't it?
0:04:52 > 0:04:57Right, I think we're looking at an appendicitis here.
0:04:57 > 0:04:59And that means, erm, we have to get you to hospital, mate.
0:05:08 > 0:05:10No.
0:05:10 > 0:05:12How is he?
0:05:12 > 0:05:14He's not ready to talk, if that's what you're here for.
0:05:14 > 0:05:17No. Actually, I wanted to see you.
0:05:17 > 0:05:21To say again how sorry we are. Really?
0:05:22 > 0:05:26If only Daniel had waited for us. You're blaming him!
0:05:28 > 0:05:31I cannot believe that you didn't tell us the danger that he
0:05:31 > 0:05:35was in, that we were in. Correction - that you put us in!
0:05:35 > 0:05:38I nearly lost my partner and my son
0:05:38 > 0:05:41and it would have been your fault and nobody else's.
0:05:41 > 0:05:44And just so we're clear, I cannot believe that you have not
0:05:44 > 0:05:46removed my name formally from the witness lists.
0:05:46 > 0:05:49You realise then Braydon Jennings will be released.
0:05:52 > 0:05:54That is just not my problem any more.
0:05:56 > 0:05:57It won't stop there.
0:05:57 > 0:06:00The gang still know who you are, you'll be in danger regardless.
0:06:00 > 0:06:04Testifying is the only chance we have left
0:06:04 > 0:06:05of getting these guys put away.
0:06:07 > 0:06:09Then you'll have to find another way.
0:06:09 > 0:06:12I understand how stressful this is for you.
0:06:12 > 0:06:14Do you even have a family?
0:06:15 > 0:06:16No.
0:06:16 > 0:06:20I'm divorced and I don't have kids, but I can sympath...
0:06:23 > 0:06:26I'll be right there the whole time, it'll be just like an adventure.
0:06:26 > 0:06:30The doctors there are lovely. They'll really take care of you.
0:06:30 > 0:06:31What about John?
0:06:31 > 0:06:33He can stay in the car.He can't!
0:06:33 > 0:06:35He won't even know. He's in his own little world.
0:06:35 > 0:06:37No! Something will happen to him.
0:06:37 > 0:06:40Nothing's going to happen to him, I've already told you.
0:06:40 > 0:06:43I have called the hospital and they are expecting you.
0:06:43 > 0:06:44I'm not going.Elliot.
0:06:44 > 0:06:47I promised I'd look after him till four o'clock. If I don't,
0:06:47 > 0:06:49I won't be able to join the club!
0:06:49 > 0:06:51They'll understand.They won't!
0:06:51 > 0:06:53Alicia Margoyle didn't get in cos her mum left John
0:06:53 > 0:06:56at school so they could go skiing. Everyone said she was a loser!
0:06:56 > 0:07:00I think this is a slightly different situation.No, it's not.
0:07:00 > 0:07:02I want to be in the club. They'll let you.
0:07:02 > 0:07:04They won't!
0:07:04 > 0:07:06Dude.
0:07:06 > 0:07:08Any club which would not let you be a member is not worth joining,
0:07:08 > 0:07:10I promise you.
0:07:10 > 0:07:12Excuse me. I might have a suggestion.
0:07:24 > 0:07:26Is that a friend of yours? I'm just looking after it.
0:07:26 > 0:07:30That's a shame. I could see something really developing between the two of you.
0:07:30 > 0:07:31Ha.
0:07:31 > 0:07:34Um, I wondered if you could keep me posted about Elliot.
0:07:36 > 0:07:38Ooh, look at him!
0:07:38 > 0:07:43Oh, he's a big one, isn't he? It's a Giant African Land Snail.
0:07:43 > 0:07:44Apparently.
0:07:44 > 0:07:47My uncle used to keep snails - not for consumption.
0:07:47 > 0:07:49Although I did try once...
0:07:49 > 0:07:52That would be a mouthful. You'd need a ton of garlic butter.
0:07:52 > 0:07:54Shh. He might be sensitive.
0:07:54 > 0:07:56It's a snail!
0:07:56 > 0:07:59No, Uncle Walter said they all have real personalities.
0:07:59 > 0:08:02After the incident, he got to know them all properly.
0:08:02 > 0:08:05And it has been scientifically proven that just watching them
0:08:05 > 0:08:07can be very relaxing.
0:08:07 > 0:08:08Scientifically?Yeah.
0:08:08 > 0:08:11All I know is there's a lot more to snails than people
0:08:11 > 0:08:12give them credit for.
0:08:20 > 0:08:23Er, she's going to need a scan, but there's no point moving her,
0:08:23 > 0:08:25cos it'll be a while before they get to her.
0:08:25 > 0:08:27Yeah.You did good bringing her in.
0:08:27 > 0:08:28Great.
0:08:28 > 0:08:30Yeah.How are you anyway?
0:08:30 > 0:08:32Yeah, er, good.
0:08:33 > 0:08:36I suppose you have to wait, don't you?
0:08:36 > 0:08:37Yeah, I have to, yeah.
0:08:38 > 0:08:41We ought to get a cuppa, really.
0:08:41 > 0:08:42Yeah. Yeah, good idea.
0:08:42 > 0:08:44Shall we?Mm.Yeah.
0:08:49 > 0:08:51Ah. You were right, they were closing down.
0:08:51 > 0:08:53They let me take my pick. Wonderful!
0:08:56 > 0:08:58But...
0:08:58 > 0:09:00..these are all children's books!
0:09:00 > 0:09:02Yeah, well, we haven't got any and they were free.
0:09:02 > 0:09:03Yeah, no. It's fine.
0:09:03 > 0:09:05Fine.Morning.
0:09:05 > 0:09:07Ah, Dr Haskey.
0:09:10 > 0:09:12I hear that you have a, er...
0:09:12 > 0:09:15A mollusc in your consulting room.
0:09:15 > 0:09:17It's only temporary. Are you sure it is hygienic?
0:09:17 > 0:09:19Yeah, of course it is. It's in a, like, a tank thing.
0:09:19 > 0:09:22Yeah, well, I hope it does not become a distraction.
0:09:22 > 0:09:24It won't. Mr Valenti, let's do this.
0:09:31 > 0:09:33Cheers.There you go.Thanks.
0:09:41 > 0:09:43Did Heston mention the other night?
0:09:43 > 0:09:45The men's group?Hmm.
0:09:45 > 0:09:48Yeah. Yeah, that he took you along.
0:09:48 > 0:09:49Yeah.
0:09:49 > 0:09:51Actually, it was an eye-opener.
0:09:52 > 0:09:56I thought you'd been to one of those before?I've walked out on one before.Uh-huh.
0:09:56 > 0:10:01But this time, you know, I stayed and properly went through the whole process.
0:10:01 > 0:10:03It's surprising what a difference it makes,
0:10:03 > 0:10:04getting it all off your chest.
0:10:08 > 0:10:12Heston didn't say anything about me, did he?
0:10:12 > 0:10:16Er... Ah-ha, no, no.
0:10:16 > 0:10:18You see, what's said in the room...
0:10:18 > 0:10:20Yeah. Of course.Mm.Yeah.
0:10:22 > 0:10:25It's good to have that arena though.
0:10:25 > 0:10:27Well, it's what the guy said, you know.
0:10:27 > 0:10:30You need a safe place to open up.
0:10:30 > 0:10:33Yeah. Cos, it's about being honest, isn't it?Yeah.
0:10:33 > 0:10:35Did they mention that, that night?
0:10:36 > 0:10:39Ah, you see...Yeah.Yeah.
0:10:39 > 0:10:40Yeah. You can't tell me.
0:10:40 > 0:10:42I don't want to know anyway.
0:10:45 > 0:10:47It's important to have groups like that, I know.
0:10:49 > 0:10:52It's just a bit frustrating sometimes, Rob.
0:10:52 > 0:10:57Because men have people they can talk to, but for some
0:10:57 > 0:11:03unknown reason, at home, they keep certain things to themselves.
0:11:03 > 0:11:04You know, important things.
0:11:04 > 0:11:07And it would be better if they were just honest about them.
0:11:07 > 0:11:10Because why do you keep secrets from people that you love?
0:11:10 > 0:11:13You know, two heads are always better than one?
0:11:13 > 0:11:15Well, they are if they work together.Yes!
0:11:15 > 0:11:17Because if you work together, you can solve things.
0:11:17 > 0:11:20I'm not... I'm not talking about you, obviously, I'm just...
0:11:20 > 0:11:22I'm talking in general.
0:11:22 > 0:11:25Mm. People should trust each other more.Yes!
0:11:25 > 0:11:27Yes.
0:11:27 > 0:11:28Sorry.
0:11:28 > 0:11:30It's all right.Yeah.
0:11:30 > 0:11:34Well, that's...that's... That's absolutely fine.Yeah.
0:11:35 > 0:11:39Shall we, er...?Yeah. I'll be right with you.All right.
0:11:52 > 0:11:53Zara! What...?
0:11:53 > 0:11:56How's Daniel?How are you?
0:11:56 > 0:11:58Fine.
0:11:58 > 0:12:00Well, not fine.
0:12:01 > 0:12:04Daniel's resting so I thought I'd just come and catch up on some work.
0:12:04 > 0:12:06Surely work can wait?
0:12:06 > 0:12:08Well, if it makes you feel better?
0:12:08 > 0:12:11Nothing makes me feel better.
0:12:11 > 0:12:15I just would prefer some semblance of normality.
0:12:15 > 0:12:17If there's anything I can do to help...
0:12:17 > 0:12:20Thank you. I'll let you know.
0:12:20 > 0:12:23And look, just so everyone's aware,
0:12:23 > 0:12:25I certainly won't be testifying now, so...
0:12:27 > 0:12:29..there'll be no further updates on that score.
0:12:34 > 0:12:36KNOCK AT DOOR
0:12:34 > 0:12:36Hello.
0:12:36 > 0:12:37Only me again.
0:12:39 > 0:12:41I've bought something special for our friend.
0:12:41 > 0:12:44My uncle used to say they love these.OK, only a bit.
0:12:44 > 0:12:47We don't want to interfere with his regular diet.
0:12:47 > 0:12:49Oh. Is he sleeping?
0:12:51 > 0:12:52Or...?
0:12:53 > 0:12:55OK. That's not a good sign.
0:12:57 > 0:12:58Is he even in there?
0:12:58 > 0:13:01John?No, he wouldn't leave his shell.
0:13:01 > 0:13:03Erm, call your uncle.
0:13:03 > 0:13:06No, I can't. He passed away a while ago.Oh.
0:13:08 > 0:13:12I mean, I did pick him up a minute ago, but it wasn't for long.
0:13:13 > 0:13:16Well, maybe he's hibernating? Snails do hibernate.
0:13:22 > 0:13:23Anyone in there?
0:13:28 > 0:13:30Come in, Mrs Tembe.
0:13:34 > 0:13:36You could tell it was me?
0:13:36 > 0:13:38You paused...respectfully.
0:13:43 > 0:13:46Er, Dr Carter said that that you were here.
0:13:46 > 0:13:49I just wondered if you needed anything?
0:13:49 > 0:13:50Thank you.
0:13:50 > 0:13:51No.
0:13:52 > 0:13:53Right.
0:13:53 > 0:13:56Well, if you change your mind, you know where I am.
0:13:59 > 0:14:04I suppose you've heard that I've changed my mind about testifying?
0:14:07 > 0:14:09And you disapprove?
0:14:10 > 0:14:12I have no opinion.
0:14:12 > 0:14:15You don't think it's irresponsible?
0:14:15 > 0:14:18If it were the other way round, I certainly would.
0:14:18 > 0:14:23You were trying to protect your family. I understand.
0:14:23 > 0:14:25At the expense of how many other families?
0:14:27 > 0:14:33Whatever you do, I am sure you are doing it for all the right reasons.
0:14:35 > 0:14:39And your family has been through a terrible time.It's not over.
0:14:39 > 0:14:42You're talking like it's over, but it's not.
0:14:42 > 0:14:45They even threatened me here. What, here?!
0:14:45 > 0:14:47Look, I didn't want to mention it,
0:14:47 > 0:14:51but the gang left a message for me at reception with three skulls on it.
0:14:51 > 0:14:54And it wasn't clear what it was at the time, but I think now, it's fairly obvious.
0:14:54 > 0:14:58Dr Carmichael, you should have said something.
0:14:58 > 0:15:01I could have organised extra security.
0:15:01 > 0:15:03We're not safe anywhere.
0:15:05 > 0:15:10So, I have told Daniel that maybe we could leave.
0:15:10 > 0:15:12Move nearer my father.
0:15:12 > 0:15:14Obviously, I don't want to cause any problems for
0:15:14 > 0:15:18the practice, but, at the moment, that's the only option I can see.
0:15:19 > 0:15:21There is no need to apologise.
0:15:24 > 0:15:28Whether you stay or go, we are all here to support you.
0:15:37 > 0:15:39No. No.
0:15:39 > 0:15:41I'm at a loss, I don't know what to tell you.
0:15:42 > 0:15:46There were no symptoms until this. Can I just bring him in, please?
0:15:47 > 0:15:51I thought that vets were supposed to care for all living creatures?
0:15:52 > 0:15:55Yeah, I know he's an invertebrate but, come on, the dude's got...
0:15:55 > 0:15:58He's got a name!
0:15:58 > 0:16:00Look, I understand it's not your speciality
0:16:00 > 0:16:03but how about you just give me your opinion as a veterinary surgeon!
0:16:03 > 0:16:05OK.
0:16:05 > 0:16:08That's good - calcium. Milk. What else?
0:16:10 > 0:16:12He's been with me. What else can I tell you?
0:16:13 > 0:16:15I'm not shouting, this is just how I speak!
0:16:19 > 0:16:21An exotic pet supplier?
0:16:22 > 0:16:24OK, can you...can you come up with any recommen...?
0:16:24 > 0:16:27Actually, I found something exotic in the shopping centre.
0:16:27 > 0:16:30I think we've found something. Thanks for not being any help at all. Hit me.
0:16:30 > 0:16:32Um, actually, I have had some results.
0:16:32 > 0:16:35And it seems that temperature could easily be a factor.
0:16:35 > 0:16:38Do you think we should call Elliot and his mum, just to check?
0:16:38 > 0:16:41Valerie, in case you've forgotten, Elliot is about to have emergency
0:16:41 > 0:16:44surgery. You really think that Tina needs to be interrupted with this?
0:16:44 > 0:16:48Well, there is something else that could determine if he is hibernating or not.
0:16:48 > 0:16:50What?If you can see inside the shell.
0:16:53 > 0:16:54OK.
0:16:54 > 0:16:56I'm going in.
0:17:02 > 0:17:06OK, yeah, I can see some of the way.
0:17:06 > 0:17:08That means he's shrivelled.Yeah?
0:17:08 > 0:17:10That also means he's dead.
0:17:22 > 0:17:25I'm sorry. I...Me too.
0:17:36 > 0:17:37No point wasting it.
0:17:37 > 0:17:38Oh, I couldn't!
0:17:40 > 0:17:42You don't want it, do you?No.
0:17:43 > 0:17:48Oh, it's so sad! Poor John.
0:17:48 > 0:17:51I'm sadder for Elliot. I'm not looking forward to telling him.
0:17:51 > 0:17:54Well, do you have to? Couldn't you leave it until after the operation?
0:17:54 > 0:17:58He's had the operation. Plus there's the "initiation".Initiation?
0:17:58 > 0:18:03A club. He has to prove he's a competent animal lover.Oh.
0:18:05 > 0:18:08Still, if John had a pre-existing condition, that shouldn't count, should it?
0:18:08 > 0:18:12It shouldn't count, full stop! He shouldn't have to prove anything.
0:18:12 > 0:18:14Don't tell him.
0:18:14 > 0:18:15What?
0:18:16 > 0:18:20Just buy another one. I mean, you will probably be able to find one that's identical.
0:18:20 > 0:18:22Isn't that fraud?
0:18:22 > 0:18:24If we can spare him any unnecessary pain...
0:18:24 > 0:18:27We spare him pain by telling him it doesn't matter!
0:18:27 > 0:18:29A snail has just died.
0:18:31 > 0:18:35So, you're going to deliver a dead snail to a boy in a hospital bed?
0:18:35 > 0:18:36Well, I'm not going to lie to him.
0:18:36 > 0:18:39Yeah, the snail died, but it's just a snail.
0:18:40 > 0:18:43To link it to Elliot's social standing is just ridiculous, isn't it?
0:18:43 > 0:18:47I mean, it's absurd to expect a young mind like his to conform.
0:18:48 > 0:18:51He is an individual. He will always be an individual.
0:18:51 > 0:18:55And if anybody has got a problem with that, then tough!
0:18:55 > 0:18:57In the end, I think he'll find he's better off.
0:19:03 > 0:19:07All of this just shows how money changes things.
0:19:07 > 0:19:11It ruins and it unbalances relationships.
0:19:11 > 0:19:13It depends how you use it. It's just a means to an end.
0:19:13 > 0:19:16It's also a method of manipulation, isn't it?
0:19:16 > 0:19:21It's about control, which my ex-husband was very good at.
0:19:21 > 0:19:24Which is why I'm suggesting equal access.
0:19:24 > 0:19:26What's mine is yours.
0:19:26 > 0:19:27But what do I contribute?
0:19:29 > 0:19:31Look, can't you see the inequity?
0:19:33 > 0:19:36Well, it's irrelevant. No, not to me it isn't!
0:19:36 > 0:19:38Look, this is exactly what I'm talking about, Heston!
0:19:41 > 0:19:43OK, it matters to you, it doesn't matter to me.
0:19:43 > 0:19:45What are we going to do?
0:19:48 > 0:19:50I don't want to be penny-pinching in my own house.
0:19:50 > 0:19:53No, of course not. No, I...I agree.
0:19:57 > 0:20:00OK, we open a joint account. Thank you!
0:20:00 > 0:20:05But limited to ordinary expenses. I don't want to change who I am,
0:20:05 > 0:20:09and I definitely do not want the kids to change.
0:20:09 > 0:20:12From now on, we make financial decisions together.
0:20:13 > 0:20:14Together.
0:20:15 > 0:20:16Right.
0:20:18 > 0:20:20Shak thinks he's got away with this by avoiding me
0:20:20 > 0:20:22but, oh, wait till I get hold of him.
0:20:22 > 0:20:25No, that's my fault. I told him not to tell you.
0:20:25 > 0:20:27And I've always told him never to lie to me.
0:20:27 > 0:20:30But somehow he has got you to take the responsibility.
0:20:45 > 0:20:46Oh!
0:20:46 > 0:20:48Slacking off?
0:20:48 > 0:20:50What are you doing here?
0:20:50 > 0:20:52Ah, well, I'm drowning in paperwork.
0:20:52 > 0:20:55So, I thought maybe you could save me by letting me
0:20:55 > 0:20:56take you out for lunch.
0:20:58 > 0:20:59I'm eating my lunch.
0:20:59 > 0:21:02All 137 calories of it.
0:21:03 > 0:21:04Cake?
0:21:09 > 0:21:13Mmm. It's a reasonable likeness.
0:21:13 > 0:21:15Valerie helped me pick it. Oh, it must be right then!
0:21:15 > 0:21:17I just thought you should have the option.
0:21:17 > 0:21:19Or at least Elliot should.
0:21:21 > 0:21:23You think I'm too involved.
0:21:24 > 0:21:25Aren't you?
0:21:25 > 0:21:27I have my principles.
0:21:28 > 0:21:31And since when did you suddenly stop being so pious?
0:21:31 > 0:21:33You're pushing me towards snail fraud.
0:21:33 > 0:21:34That's what this is - snail fraud.
0:21:34 > 0:21:38I'm just trying to keep some perspective.
0:21:38 > 0:21:39You know, this morning,
0:21:39 > 0:21:42Elliot refused to go to hospital, risking his life because
0:21:42 > 0:21:46he was worried about being rejected by a group of rabbit-hugging idiots.
0:21:46 > 0:21:48Where's his perspective?
0:21:49 > 0:21:51Fair point. It is a fair point.
0:21:51 > 0:21:54It's unfortunate that I'm the only one who appreciates it.
0:21:54 > 0:21:58Hmm. A lone voice.
0:21:58 > 0:21:59With the emphasis on "lone".
0:22:01 > 0:22:03So it's better to be wrong, is it?
0:22:03 > 0:22:06As long as you're not alone in your wrongness!
0:22:06 > 0:22:09Some kind of mob mentality. Let's grab a pitchfork and go
0:22:09 > 0:22:11and burn down the professor's castle in our wrongness!
0:22:11 > 0:22:15Oh, I'm not saying anything. I'm just thinking about the kid and what he must be going through.
0:22:15 > 0:22:18Obviously you've got first-hand experience, so...
0:22:18 > 0:22:21..how does that feel? Always being lonely but being right?
0:22:21 > 0:22:24Well, it works out all right in the end, doesn't it?
0:22:24 > 0:22:25That's all right then.
0:22:26 > 0:22:30You want Elliot to choose between conformity and principle.
0:22:30 > 0:22:32Only you could put it that way!
0:22:34 > 0:22:35Thank you.
0:22:35 > 0:22:36It wasn't a compliment.
0:22:39 > 0:22:41Mmm. I like this.
0:22:42 > 0:22:44We used to bring Jack and Immie here.
0:22:44 > 0:22:46Did we?Yeah.
0:22:49 > 0:22:51I bet you think I've got ulterior motives.
0:22:52 > 0:22:55No. What motives?I have.
0:22:55 > 0:22:56I just think we should...
0:22:57 > 0:23:00..talk more.
0:23:00 > 0:23:01Get things out in the open.
0:23:01 > 0:23:02OK.
0:23:04 > 0:23:05I want to try again.
0:23:05 > 0:23:06What?Fostering.
0:23:08 > 0:23:11Forget what I said before.
0:23:11 > 0:23:12I was in a bad place.
0:23:13 > 0:23:16And...maybe the option's still there.
0:23:19 > 0:23:21You're ready? I'm getting better.
0:23:23 > 0:23:25And I really want to make things up to you.
0:23:26 > 0:23:29Not a reason for fostering. Well, you said...
0:23:30 > 0:23:32..being a parent and fostering
0:23:32 > 0:23:35is the most important thing that we can do.
0:23:36 > 0:23:40So let's go and see Jane. See if she'll do a reassessment.
0:23:40 > 0:23:42I mean, she might say no, but...
0:23:44 > 0:23:45She might say yes.
0:23:49 > 0:23:52John!Calm down! You've just had an operation.
0:23:52 > 0:23:53How are you feeling?
0:23:53 > 0:23:56Good. A doctor put some holes in me and sewed them up again.
0:23:56 > 0:23:58Oh, I'm glad he did the second part.
0:23:58 > 0:24:00He keeps trying to see the incisions.
0:24:00 > 0:24:01You bought him some sweetcorn!
0:24:01 > 0:24:04No, that wasn't me. That was Valerie, our receptionist.
0:24:04 > 0:24:06Oh, how nice. You must say thanks for us.
0:24:06 > 0:24:10Yeah, I will do. Actually, there is a kind of a decision
0:24:10 > 0:24:12that we need to make...He's grown! Has he?
0:24:12 > 0:24:15He's got an extra ridge. Everything's perfect!
0:24:15 > 0:24:19Elliot, the doctor's trying to talk. First, guess what happened?What?
0:24:19 > 0:24:22He's not going to be able to read them like that!
0:24:22 > 0:24:24"Good luck for your operation." "How big is your scar?"
0:24:24 > 0:24:25I don't know how big.
0:24:25 > 0:24:29When the teacher told his class what was happening, they all sent him messages on Mates-Rec.
0:24:29 > 0:24:33I've got friends! And Tyler's going to lend me Inter-Dimensional Man.
0:24:33 > 0:24:35You can read it too. Yeah, I'd like that. Thank you.
0:24:35 > 0:24:38Um, you said there was something about a decision?
0:24:38 > 0:24:41Yeah, yeah, it probably isn't important at this...at this point.
0:24:41 > 0:24:43It's nothing to do with his operation?
0:24:43 > 0:24:45No, no, nothing at all.
0:24:45 > 0:24:50I was wondering if maybe you'd like me to take John into school for you.
0:24:50 > 0:24:54That would be fantastic! Seriously. Nah, it's all part of the service.
0:24:54 > 0:24:56No, much more.
0:24:56 > 0:24:58He could have...
0:24:58 > 0:25:01He might have... Hey, hey. It's all right.
0:25:01 > 0:25:03You're a good man.
0:25:03 > 0:25:05One of a kind.
0:25:05 > 0:25:06Wait till you see,
0:25:06 > 0:25:08he's got an inter-dimensional button on his wrist.
0:25:08 > 0:25:11Then zoom - straight into a black hole!
0:25:21 > 0:25:23Thank you, kind sir.
0:25:25 > 0:25:29Are you going to call Jane? Oh, she's going to think we're mad!
0:25:29 > 0:25:31She probably does already.What?
0:25:42 > 0:25:44KNOCK AT DOOR
0:25:42 > 0:25:44Hello.
0:25:45 > 0:25:49Erm, I've got Carlene Lonsdale here. Sorry to bother you.
0:25:49 > 0:25:53Erm... If you want, I can send her away.
0:25:53 > 0:25:57No, that's all right. Send her through.
0:25:57 > 0:25:58Do you want to go through?
0:25:59 > 0:26:02Carlene.I heard what happened to your partner. Is he OK?
0:26:04 > 0:26:06He's recovering.
0:26:06 > 0:26:08In fact, that was just him on the phone,
0:26:08 > 0:26:10saying that he might be going to come home tonight.
0:26:10 > 0:26:13Oh, that's brilliant!Obviously, I was going to contact you.
0:26:13 > 0:26:16I'm the last person you'd be thinking of.
0:26:16 > 0:26:17But you're all right?
0:26:20 > 0:26:24I've had to rethink a few things, Carlene.
0:26:26 > 0:26:27They nearly killed him.
0:26:29 > 0:26:30They tried to kill him.
0:26:31 > 0:26:33And they took my boy.
0:26:35 > 0:26:37You're not going to testify.
0:26:38 > 0:26:39I'm sorry.
0:26:40 > 0:26:42I am sorry.
0:26:42 > 0:26:47If there is anything else I could do for you, for Austin...
0:26:49 > 0:26:50It's...
0:26:50 > 0:26:51It's OK.
0:26:53 > 0:26:55You've done a lot for us already.
0:26:55 > 0:26:58And if I'd have known this would happen...You couldn't have known.
0:27:00 > 0:27:02Call me...
0:27:02 > 0:27:03..if you need anything.
0:27:22 > 0:27:24You're one of those that's slipped through the cracks.
0:27:24 > 0:27:26And that's what VPAS is all about.
0:27:26 > 0:27:28Don't get me wrong, if Sierra was in danger,
0:27:28 > 0:27:30I would have probably done something similar.
0:27:30 > 0:27:31What do you mean, similar?
0:27:31 > 0:27:34A bit less stupid. And macho.
0:27:34 > 0:27:36But it's not suitable for work though, is it?
0:27:36 > 0:27:38It's not for patients. It's for pulling.
0:27:38 > 0:27:40How long have you been watching the school gates?
0:27:40 > 0:27:43If you're telling me I shouldn't be here, you are wasting your breath.
