0:00:29 > 0:00:31Today? When were you thinking of telling me?

0:00:31 > 0:00:34What does it matter? It's what you want, isn't it?

0:00:34 > 0:00:37Don't put this all on me. And we agreed.

0:00:37 > 0:00:41- We said we'd wait until he was more settled.- Wait for what?

0:00:41 > 0:00:44- Jonah.- Hey, love.

0:00:44 > 0:00:47- I wasn't expecting you home. - You didn't answer me.

0:00:47 > 0:00:50We were just saying we shouldn't bombard you with

0:00:50 > 0:00:52questions about uni.

0:00:52 > 0:00:55It's going fine, like I already told you.

0:00:55 > 0:00:57Ah, that's great.

0:00:57 > 0:00:59You were arguing.

0:00:59 > 0:01:03- I wouldn't really call it an argument.- You two never argue.

0:01:03 > 0:01:07- Thirsty? - Why are you acting all...weird?

0:01:09 > 0:01:12- What's this?- Nothing.

0:01:12 > 0:01:14Why do you need an estate agent?

0:01:14 > 0:01:20- We were just sounding things out. - But you'd never sell this house.

0:01:20 > 0:01:21We love this place.

0:01:21 > 0:01:24And you encouraged me to pick Letherbridge Uni,

0:01:24 > 0:01:26so I was close to home.

0:01:26 > 0:01:28Sit down, love.

0:01:28 > 0:01:30Now you're really freaking me out.

0:01:30 > 0:01:34We were going to wait, find the right moment.

0:01:34 > 0:01:35Your mum and I are separating.

0:01:43 > 0:01:45- Oh, morning, Emma.- Morning.

0:01:45 > 0:01:47I don't know about you,

0:01:47 > 0:01:50but I could not stop thinking about poor Daniel last night.

0:01:50 > 0:01:54- Daniel?- Yeah, how he's coping. And Zara, of course.

0:01:54 > 0:01:57OK, back up a minute. What do you mean "coping"?

0:01:57 > 0:01:58Oh, you haven't heard?

0:01:58 > 0:02:02Oh, so yesterday, the police turned up here, all guns blazing.

0:02:02 > 0:02:05- Not literally. But they did take Daniel away.- Took him where?

0:02:05 > 0:02:07Well, nobody knows. That's the point.

0:02:07 > 0:02:09It's all very cloak and dagger.

0:02:09 > 0:02:12Apparently, they picked up Zara at the same time. And little Joe.

0:02:12 > 0:02:15Oh, sounds like they've been taken in to protective custody.

0:02:15 > 0:02:19Oh. I have been so worried, I didn't get a wink of sleep.

0:02:19 > 0:02:22Had this dreadful dream about being stuck somewhere creepy,

0:02:22 > 0:02:24like one of those motels at the end of the world.

0:02:24 > 0:02:26Like in that film.

0:02:26 > 0:02:29- The Sparkling.- The Shining.

0:02:29 > 0:02:32Mm. Anyway, try as I might, I could not get out.

0:02:32 > 0:02:34And then I started to have this feeling,

0:02:34 > 0:02:39this fear in the pit of my stomach, what if what's out there is worse?

0:02:39 > 0:02:43Worse than what Daniel and Zara are going through? Really, Valerie?

0:02:47 > 0:02:49Urgh!

0:02:49 > 0:02:51It's a hair!

0:02:51 > 0:02:53So?

0:02:53 > 0:02:55Not that kind of hair, Daniel.

0:02:55 > 0:02:57And the smell. It's not even clean!

0:02:59 > 0:03:01- Hey.- Good morning, darling.

0:03:01 > 0:03:03How's my favourite boy?

0:03:03 > 0:03:06Did you sleep well?

0:03:06 > 0:03:11- Oh, dear.- Why are we here, Mummy? - Yes, Mummy, why don't you explain?

0:03:13 > 0:03:18We are trying to stop some bad people, not scary people,

0:03:18 > 0:03:23and just in case, the police are taking extra special care of us,

0:03:23 > 0:03:27and they're keeping us here in this lovely hotel.

0:03:27 > 0:03:28Keeping us safe?

0:03:28 > 0:03:30Yes.

0:03:30 > 0:03:32Yes.

0:03:34 > 0:03:36I don't understand.

0:03:36 > 0:03:38It doesn't make any sense.

0:03:38 > 0:03:40I'm so sorry.

0:03:40 > 0:03:42When? When did you decide?

0:03:42 > 0:03:46It's hard to put an actual date.

0:03:46 > 0:03:49Your mum suggested marriage counselling.

0:03:49 > 0:03:52You might say that brought things to a head.

0:03:52 > 0:03:55- You've been for counselling? - Fat lot of good it did us.

0:03:57 > 0:03:59This is mad!

0:03:59 > 0:04:01I mean, you two love each other, don't you?

0:04:06 > 0:04:10- Don't you?- I wish it were that simple.- You can't do this.

0:04:10 > 0:04:12None of it changes how we feel about you.

0:04:12 > 0:04:15- Is that supposed to make me feel better?- Love...- Get off me!

0:04:17 > 0:04:21- Where are you going?- Anywhere I can try and forget this ever happened.

0:04:25 > 0:04:27We will have to rearrange some of their patients.

0:04:29 > 0:04:32Ah, Dr Haskey, well, thank you for gracing us with your presence.

0:04:32 > 0:04:33You're welcome, Mrs Tembe.

0:04:33 > 0:04:36You are going to have to take on some of Dr Granger

0:04:36 > 0:04:38and Dr Carmichael's patients.

0:04:38 > 0:04:40Why? So they can go off on holiday again? No.

0:04:41 > 0:04:45They have been taken in to protective custody.

0:04:45 > 0:04:47Speaking of which, is there any word from the police?

0:04:47 > 0:04:50Um, I'm hoping to hear from them today,

0:04:50 > 0:04:52but I'm going to need your complete discretion.

0:04:56 > 0:04:58What?

0:04:58 > 0:05:00Do I have to spell it out?

0:05:00 > 0:05:04I know you're angry about yesterday and rightly so.

0:05:04 > 0:05:06Taking Joe from school, terrifying him again, unforgiveable,

0:05:06 > 0:05:08and then 20 minutes for us to pack?!

0:05:08 > 0:05:09Oh, shush!

0:05:09 > 0:05:11Don't you shush me!

0:05:11 > 0:05:14It's bad enough for him, without him having to hear us.

0:05:15 > 0:05:18Look, I'm sure that, once we've spoken to Rob or Tom Stanton,

0:05:18 > 0:05:22you'll be able to find out what's happening and what's going on.

0:05:22 > 0:05:24Yeah. Whatever they say, I'm not spending another night here.

0:05:24 > 0:05:28Yeah, me neither. It's not exactly five star.

0:05:28 > 0:05:30OK, look, why don't I get some breakfast

0:05:30 > 0:05:33and we can have it in our PJs?

0:05:33 > 0:05:34Joe will find it great fun.

0:05:36 > 0:05:38- SHE SIGHS - What?

0:05:40 > 0:05:41It's not working.

0:05:41 > 0:05:43Oh, well...

0:05:46 > 0:05:49KNOCK AT DOOR Come in.

0:05:49 > 0:05:52- Mrs Taylor's test results are now on the system.- Oh, great. Thanks.

0:05:54 > 0:05:57I can't stop thinking about that dream.

0:05:57 > 0:06:00What if it's trying to tell me something?

0:06:00 > 0:06:02Like what?

0:06:02 > 0:06:04Go on. Psychoanalyse me.

0:06:06 > 0:06:08Well, all right, um,

0:06:08 > 0:06:11maybe it's telling you that you should look outward.

0:06:11 > 0:06:13You know, see the bigger picture.

0:06:13 > 0:06:16- Which is?- That it's not about you.

0:06:16 > 0:06:20- You are not the one stuck in some safe house, are you?- No.

0:06:20 > 0:06:21Have you lost something?

0:06:21 > 0:06:23My keys.

0:06:23 > 0:06:25I've got a meeting at St Phil's in a bit.

0:06:25 > 0:06:27Oh. I always have a routine with mine.

0:06:27 > 0:06:30They always go straight in my handbag when I get to work

0:06:30 > 0:06:32- and when I'm at home, they live on a little hook.- Right.

0:06:32 > 0:06:35The secret is not to deviate or get distracted

0:06:35 > 0:06:39- until they're where they should be. - I'll bear that in mind.

0:06:41 > 0:06:43MOBILE RINGS

0:06:46 > 0:06:47Mother.

0:06:47 > 0:06:49- 'Where are you?'- I'm at work.

0:06:49 > 0:06:53- What are you doing there? - 'Working.'

0:06:53 > 0:06:55It's Wednesday. Don't you remember?

0:06:55 > 0:06:58You're supposed to be here, having your Christmas meal.

0:06:58 > 0:07:01Right. Um, I...

0:07:01 > 0:07:04That would be the same Christmas meal we had last Friday.

0:07:04 > 0:07:06That one?

0:07:06 > 0:07:08'The one where you burnt the turkey

0:07:08 > 0:07:10'and we told each other all those awful cracker jokes?

0:07:12 > 0:07:14'You do remember, right?'

0:07:14 > 0:07:17Yes, of course.

0:07:17 > 0:07:19What a fool.

0:07:19 > 0:07:24- 'Mum...'- Oh, I'm sorry, dear. I didn't sleep very well, that's all.

0:07:24 > 0:07:27- I lost track, that's all. - Hey, is everything all right?

0:07:27 > 0:07:31- You know me, I'd forget my head if it wasn't screwed on.- 'Yeah.

0:07:31 > 0:07:34'You had me worried for a sec.'

0:07:34 > 0:07:37- Better crack on. There's packing to do.- Yeah, absolutely.

0:07:37 > 0:07:41How are preparations going for your great Nordic expedition?

0:07:41 > 0:07:46- Ooh, when you're there, you have to try the Smalahove.- The what?

0:07:46 > 0:07:48Basically, it's a sheep's head.

0:07:48 > 0:07:50They kind of take a blowtorch to the skin,

0:07:50 > 0:07:54they remove the brain and then they salt it and they dry it.

0:07:54 > 0:07:55I must dash.

0:07:55 > 0:07:58But it's got to be a lamb's head, not a sheep's head,

0:07:58 > 0:08:01cos if you do, you'll be getting scrapie.

0:08:01 > 0:08:04Scrapie on top of norovirus and that's not nice.

0:08:04 > 0:08:06- Bye, dear.- 'Bye-bye.'

0:08:16 > 0:08:18So, tell me what happened again.

0:08:18 > 0:08:22- Fell down some stairs, banged my arm.- Mm-hm.

0:08:22 > 0:08:24- And you didn't bang your head?- No.

0:08:26 > 0:08:30So, what are you doing at the moment?

0:08:30 > 0:08:32I'm at uni here, doing Classics.

0:08:32 > 0:08:36Ah, Homer and Virgil, you lucky man!

0:08:36 > 0:08:38- First year?- Yeah.

0:08:38 > 0:08:42It can all be a little bit difficult at first, can't it?

0:08:42 > 0:08:48- Everything's cool.- Thing is, Jonah, I can smell alcohol on your breath.

0:08:50 > 0:08:54Well, I mean, I had a couple of beers at the Union.

0:08:54 > 0:08:56And before you give me a lecture,

0:08:56 > 0:08:59all I've had this month is two lagers on the third and two

0:08:59 > 0:09:03and a half ciders at my mate Elliot's birthday on the 11th.

0:09:03 > 0:09:06Oh, and last Wednesday, I was going to go to the Union bar,

0:09:06 > 0:09:09but the uni show choir was in there.

0:09:09 > 0:09:12It's just a bit early in the day. Is there something bothering you?

0:09:12 > 0:09:15Nothing you can fix, Dr Carter.

0:09:15 > 0:09:17Although, you've done a good job in the past.

0:09:17 > 0:09:21First time I saw you, I was nine. October 16th, 2008.

0:09:21 > 0:09:23- Coincidentally, my first day here.- Ah.

0:09:23 > 0:09:26I stuck a rubber up my nose for a dare at school.

0:09:26 > 0:09:29You got it out with some tweezers, which was pretty impressive.

0:09:29 > 0:09:32Then you dispensed some appropriate advice.

0:09:32 > 0:09:34It's not a good idea to put anything in your nose,

0:09:34 > 0:09:36as noses are for breathing.

0:09:36 > 0:09:38And I still stand by that.

0:09:38 > 0:09:43That green spotted tie you had on. Never seen you wear it again.

0:09:43 > 0:09:44I'd forgotten all about that.

0:09:44 > 0:09:46I think I lost it at the dry-cleaner's.

0:09:46 > 0:09:49Course, 9th of July, 2010, it was a red bow tie.

0:09:49 > 0:09:51Matched the cut on my knee from doing a wheelie.

0:09:51 > 0:09:55You patched me up, then gave me a Darth Vader sticker.

0:09:55 > 0:09:57Oh, and a tetanus, which hurt.

0:09:57 > 0:10:01Do you remember every time you've seen me?

0:10:01 > 0:10:03May 16th, 2012, I had a sore throat,

0:10:03 > 0:10:05but Mum was convinced I had glandular fever.

0:10:05 > 0:10:10March 5th, 2013, I got food poisoning from that takeaway,

0:10:10 > 0:10:12saw Dr Clay, I think, because you weren't here.

0:10:14 > 0:10:16Yeah, that's right.

0:10:16 > 0:10:18Then you cut a bit of a lucky break.

0:10:18 > 0:10:23Until the 1st of April, 2015, ingrowing toenail. More fool me.

0:10:23 > 0:10:26I've never met anyone with such an amazing memory.

0:10:26 > 0:10:29- How do you do it? - It's just how my brain works.

0:10:30 > 0:10:32So, what else can you remember?

0:10:32 > 0:10:37What the day was like, the weather, what I did at school, ate for lunch.

0:10:37 > 0:10:39Pretty much everything.

0:10:39 > 0:10:42Hm.

0:10:42 > 0:10:44Well, remember not to do that again.

0:10:51 > 0:10:54- Lost something?- No, they're in here somewhere.- What?

0:10:56 > 0:10:57Clean underwear.

0:10:57 > 0:10:59Talk about forgetting the essentials!

0:10:59 > 0:11:01You could try turning them inside out.

0:11:01 > 0:11:04Or better still, you could go commando.

0:11:04 > 0:11:07What are you doing?

0:11:07 > 0:11:09I'm going to go and buy some.

0:11:09 > 0:11:12- What? No way! - Who's going to stop me?

0:11:12 > 0:11:14Daniel!

0:11:44 > 0:11:47It's very unusual, actually. I've never met anybody who's got...

0:11:47 > 0:11:49- KNOCK AT DOOR - Yes?

0:11:49 > 0:11:52I'm so sorry to bother you. I've got Jonah's parents here.

0:11:52 > 0:11:54- We'll be a couple of minutes. - Jonah?

0:11:54 > 0:11:56Er, it's all right, Karen. They can come in.

0:11:56 > 0:11:59- What are you doing here?- We've been looking for you everywhere.

0:11:59 > 0:12:02- Are you OK? - What, physically or mentally?

0:12:04 > 0:12:06Jonah's hurt his arm. I've patched him up.

0:12:06 > 0:12:08He shouldn't need any stitches.

0:12:08 > 0:12:12- Oh, thank you.- We've been having a very interesting chat.- What about?

0:12:12 > 0:12:14He has a remarkable memory.

0:12:14 > 0:12:17- Clearly, I miss some things. - He's always been like that.

0:12:17 > 0:12:19No, no, it's quite exceptional.

0:12:19 > 0:12:22He's a very bright lad. Are you all done?

0:12:22 > 0:12:25- Well, he's more than a bright lad. - I know how busy you doctors are.

0:12:25 > 0:12:28We don't want to take up any more of your time.

0:12:28 > 0:12:30Let's get you home. Be good to have a proper talk.

0:12:30 > 0:12:33- What more can you say? - Is everything OK?

0:12:33 > 0:12:35Yes. Please, love.

0:12:39 > 0:12:42Come back and see me if...it doesn't heal properly.

0:12:52 > 0:12:55- I thought you were at St Phil's today.- Yes.

0:12:55 > 0:12:57Well, I was supposed to be, but my meeting was cancelled.

0:12:57 > 0:13:01Just after my taxi arrived, so that was helpful(!)

0:13:01 > 0:13:02Why don't you just drive there?

0:13:02 > 0:13:06Because I have mislaid my car keys and it is driving me nuts.

0:13:06 > 0:13:09You know, they say that things are usually in the most

0:13:09 > 0:13:11unexpected place.

0:13:11 > 0:13:13Do they?

0:13:14 > 0:13:17I'm sorry. It's just that I have had it up to here with good advice.

0:13:17 > 0:13:20Anyway, it's perfectly normal for people to mislay things.

0:13:20 > 0:13:24- Happens all the time. - Yeah. Memory's a funny thing.

0:13:27 > 0:13:30My mum forgot that we had Christmas dinner last week.

0:13:32 > 0:13:36- Really?- Yeah. She called me, asked me where I was.

0:13:38 > 0:13:40Have you spoken to her about it?

0:13:40 > 0:13:42I tried.

0:13:42 > 0:13:44She's still grieving.

0:13:44 > 0:13:48And grief does strange things to people.

0:13:48 > 0:13:49Yeah, it does.

0:13:51 > 0:13:54You should check your pockets for holes.

0:13:54 > 0:13:56Thank you(!)

0:13:57 > 0:14:00August 12th, 2002, first camping holiday.

0:14:00 > 0:14:04I drew this, sitting in the sun.

0:14:04 > 0:14:07It rained at two, tipped it down for the next three days, so we all

0:14:07 > 0:14:10snuggled up in the tent and played card games, like Snap and Go Fish.

0:14:10 > 0:14:14Dad told stupid jokes. Even then, I thought they were terrible.

0:14:14 > 0:14:16You two couldn't stop laughing, though.

0:14:16 > 0:14:18Yeah.

0:14:20 > 0:14:22Your birthday, October 18th, 2003.

0:14:22 > 0:14:25Dad made that chocolate cake, the one that tasted funny,

0:14:25 > 0:14:28because he'd mixed up the baking soda and powder.

0:14:28 > 0:14:31Following year, 2004, was the best, though,

0:14:31 > 0:14:33he filled the room with all these balloons.

0:14:33 > 0:14:36There were, like, 15 blue ones, 21 red.

0:14:36 > 0:14:40Took me hours. Had to take the day off work.

0:14:40 > 0:14:42It was worth it, though.

0:14:42 > 0:14:45You had hidden these little presents under them.

0:14:45 > 0:14:48Most of it was just stupid stuff.

0:14:48 > 0:14:51Yeah, but you got Mum a beautiful necklace and earrings.

0:14:51 > 0:14:53Still have them.

0:14:53 > 0:14:55Then you let me go mad and pop all the balloons.

0:14:57 > 0:15:01Summer 2005, Weston-Super-Mare.

0:15:01 > 0:15:03I loved that place.

0:15:03 > 0:15:05You two walked along the beach, holding hands,

0:15:05 > 0:15:07whilst I built a big sandcastle.

0:15:07 > 0:15:10Next day, though, the Wednesday, you weren't feeling well,

0:15:10 > 0:15:12so Dad and I drove up to Kilve Beach.

0:15:12 > 0:15:13The one with all the rock pools.

0:15:13 > 0:15:17I counted 227 limpets in just one pool.

0:15:17 > 0:15:20Then we found this fish, proper fish, edible kind.

0:15:20 > 0:15:23I was so excited, but it was so slippery.

0:15:23 > 0:15:26Dad caught it and I remember being really impressed.

0:15:26 > 0:15:31You couldn't believe it when we got home. Told you the story. See?

0:15:31 > 0:15:34You guys have fun together.

0:15:34 > 0:15:36You do nice stuff for each other.

0:15:36 > 0:15:39DOORBELL

0:15:39 > 0:15:42That'll be the estate agent.

0:15:42 > 0:15:43What shall we do?

0:15:46 > 0:15:48It's OK, I'll talk to them.

0:15:57 > 0:16:00- KNOCKS ON DOOR - Uh-huh?- You got a minute?- Uh-huh.

0:16:02 > 0:16:04If you're here, who's at the campus?

0:16:04 > 0:16:08Sid's taken over. I've got something right up your street.

0:16:08 > 0:16:11- Mm, have you now?- Yeah, young man came to see me, patient,

0:16:11 > 0:16:15- who can remember every detail of his life.- Eidetic memory?

0:16:15 > 0:16:19No, it's like he's got a database of everything he's experienced.

0:16:19 > 0:16:22Now, if I'm right, it's incredibly rare.

0:16:22 > 0:16:25Have you ever heard of hyperthymesia?

0:16:25 > 0:16:27- Course I have.- You have?

0:16:27 > 0:16:30Mate, I spent pretty much the entirety of my teenage years

0:16:30 > 0:16:32watching re-runs of Taxi.

0:16:32 > 0:16:35In a way, she's kind of my one and only true love.

0:16:35 > 0:16:36Sorry?

0:16:36 > 0:16:40Marilu Henner, the actress. She has this.

0:16:40 > 0:16:43- Really?- It is fascinating.

0:16:43 > 0:16:45No-one really knows what causes it.

0:16:45 > 0:16:49There is this theory that it's caused by an enlarged temporal lobe.

0:16:49 > 0:16:52Another one, that they are unable to inhibit memories,

0:16:52 > 0:16:53like the rest of us.

0:16:53 > 0:16:56Well, whatever it is, it's an extraordinary gift.

0:16:56 > 0:16:58And quite a curse.

0:17:00 > 0:17:02KNOCK AT DOOR

0:17:08 > 0:17:11- Where have you been?- Why haven't you returned any of my calls?

0:17:11 > 0:17:14How long are we going to be stuck in here?

0:17:14 > 0:17:16You're perfectly free to leave the room, just not the hotel.

0:17:16 > 0:17:19I would have got here sooner but the situation suddenly escalated and

0:17:19 > 0:17:22I was no longer confident we could protect you effectively at home.

0:17:22 > 0:17:25- Why? What's happened? - We've lost our other witness.

0:17:25 > 0:17:27Lost them? How?

0:17:27 > 0:17:31- She was attacked in prison. - What are you saying? Is she dead?

0:17:31 > 0:17:33She's injured. We don't know how badly yet.

0:17:33 > 0:17:37- OK, that's it. This is way too dangerous.- Don't do anything hasty.

0:17:37 > 0:17:40You're telling me that you can't protect a witness, that not

0:17:40 > 0:17:41even prison is safe against this gang?

0:17:41 > 0:17:44Which is exactly why we brought you here.

0:17:44 > 0:17:46And what? We're supposed to be grateful, are we?

0:17:46 > 0:17:48All I care about is keeping the three of you safe.

0:17:48 > 0:17:51So, until the trial, I've got a team of officers who'll be

0:17:51 > 0:17:53watching you round the clock, 24/7.

0:17:53 > 0:17:56What about my daughter? Is she in any danger?

0:17:56 > 0:17:58I'll talk to Nottinghamshire Police.

0:17:58 > 0:18:01I'm sorry, but anything more than that is too great a risk.

0:18:01 > 0:18:05Any calls you make, any e-mails, your whereabouts must remain a secret.

0:18:05 > 0:18:07Which will be where exactly?

0:18:07 > 0:18:09Because this place is obviously temporary, right?

0:18:09 > 0:18:13I'm advising you not to leave this building under any circumstances.

0:18:15 > 0:18:18Dad, I thought you told them we're not selling.

0:18:18 > 0:18:22- Hello.- Dr Carter.- Sorry to drop by unannounced.- Is something wrong?

0:18:22 > 0:18:25No, no, no. Quite the contrary.

0:18:25 > 0:18:27Is this a bad time?

0:18:27 > 0:18:28No, no, no.

0:18:28 > 0:18:30Please, come in.

0:18:38 > 0:18:41We're pulling out every resource, everything we've got, on this one.

0:18:41 > 0:18:45My son's in there. Can you promise me that he's safe?

0:18:45 > 0:18:48You see? He has no idea what he's asking.

0:18:48 > 0:18:49Look, you know what?

0:18:49 > 0:18:52If we do make it out of this alive, which I'm starting to doubt,

0:18:52 > 0:18:54what about everything else?

0:18:54 > 0:18:57You know, this is our busiest time of the year,

0:18:57 > 0:19:00- we have a practice to run! - I will speak to Mrs Tembe and Jimmi.

0:19:00 > 0:19:02- I know they'll understand. - Jimmi's on holiday.

0:19:02 > 0:19:05And what about Joe? What's going to happen to him?

0:19:05 > 0:19:07He's going to miss loads of school, the run-up to Christmas.

0:19:07 > 0:19:10Which one of us is going to break that to him?

0:19:10 > 0:19:13- OK, pull out. Tell him you're not testifying!- Daniel!

0:19:13 > 0:19:14Even if Zara was to do that,

0:19:14 > 0:19:16it's best we hold you here for your own safety.

0:19:16 > 0:19:19Hold people against their will?! Is that it?!

0:19:19 > 0:19:23Protecting them, no matter how large their pride or ego.

0:19:23 > 0:19:26Oh. So we're living in a police state now?

0:19:26 > 0:19:28Is that what you're telling me?

0:19:31 > 0:19:32I've done some research,

0:19:32 > 0:19:36but I can't say anything official until we get you tested.

0:19:36 > 0:19:37Tested?

0:19:37 > 0:19:41Yeah, I think Jonah has something that we call hyperthymesia.

0:19:43 > 0:19:45What is that?

0:19:45 > 0:19:49Well, you must have noticed he has an extraordinary memory

0:19:49 > 0:19:54and he can recall all sorts of details.

0:19:54 > 0:19:56We just thought that was Jonah being Jonah.

0:19:56 > 0:19:59We've never really made a big deal of it.

0:19:59 > 0:20:03- I had no idea it was an actual condition.- Oh, it's incredibly rare.

0:20:03 > 0:20:06In fact, only very few people in the world have it.

0:20:06 > 0:20:11- Wow! Well, who'd have thought our son was a genius?- I'm not a genius.

0:20:11 > 0:20:13And it can be a total pain

0:20:13 > 0:20:17when your mind's playing out 2008 at the same time you're in the present.

0:20:17 > 0:20:20But I guess it has its uses.

0:20:20 > 0:20:23Like today, when I convinced my parents not to split up

0:20:23 > 0:20:24and sell this house.

0:20:24 > 0:20:26Right...

0:20:27 > 0:20:30I reminded them of all the good times,

0:20:30 > 0:20:33all the reasons they should stay together.

0:20:33 > 0:20:35I think I'm intruding, aren't I?

0:20:35 > 0:20:37We've had better days.

0:20:37 > 0:20:38Stay. It's fine now.

0:20:44 > 0:20:46How is he?

0:20:47 > 0:20:49He's fallen asleep.

0:20:49 > 0:20:51Hopefully, he missed you both arguing.

0:20:53 > 0:20:57Look, I know it's not what we wanted to hear, but we're just going to

0:20:57 > 0:21:00have to accept that this is what's happening and try to live with it.

0:21:02 > 0:21:04And there are some positives.

0:21:04 > 0:21:07We can spend some family time together, with no distractions.

0:21:08 > 0:21:12We could watch a movie. We could do all our Christmas shopping online.

0:21:12 > 0:21:16We could even get some decorations and make it look special.

0:21:18 > 0:21:21For Joe.

0:21:21 > 0:21:22What do you think?

0:21:32 > 0:21:37- Maybe what you remember wasn't the whole story.- What do you mean?

0:21:37 > 0:21:40Well, times you weren't there, things you didn't see.

0:21:42 > 0:21:45What are you saying? That you guys have hidden things from me?

0:21:45 > 0:21:47Why would you do that?

0:21:47 > 0:21:50Because we knew you'd remember everything.

0:21:50 > 0:21:52We wanted your memories to be good ones.

0:21:52 > 0:21:55So you cut out all the bad things, is that it?

0:21:55 > 0:21:57That's crazy!

0:21:57 > 0:22:01Remember that camping trip? We got home, you went to sleep.

0:22:02 > 0:22:06All the camping equipment was soaked through.

0:22:06 > 0:22:09Your dad threw it all away. Tent and everything.

0:22:09 > 0:22:12We spent most of the night arguing.

0:22:12 > 0:22:13That's right.

0:22:13 > 0:22:18And all those birthdays of mine, the ones your dad made special...

0:22:18 > 0:22:20Last year...

0:22:20 > 0:22:24He got you that jumper. Blue with the little red cuffs.

0:22:24 > 0:22:28I bought it. Wrapped it up, so you'd think it was from your dad.

0:22:28 > 0:22:31- You'd never forget her birthday! - I was busy at work.

0:22:31 > 0:22:34- You know...- Too busy to remember?!

0:22:34 > 0:22:36And what about Weston-Super-Mare?

0:22:36 > 0:22:39Are you actually going to tell me that wasn't a great holiday?

0:22:39 > 0:22:41No, no. Mostly, it was.

0:22:42 > 0:22:44But your mother, she wasn't sick.

0:22:45 > 0:22:48We'd been arguing all the night before and that's why

0:22:48 > 0:22:51she didn't come to the rock pools.

0:22:51 > 0:22:52So, everything's a lie, is that it?

0:22:52 > 0:22:56All those memories, none of it was real?

0:22:56 > 0:23:00- Please, don't say that. - Maybe we didn't do the right thing.

0:23:00 > 0:23:03I don't know, but we just wanted what was best for you.

0:23:03 > 0:23:06I never asked you to put me first.

0:23:06 > 0:23:09We wanted to make you happy. Is that so terrible?

0:23:09 > 0:23:12Well, you're making me unhappy now!

0:23:12 > 0:23:14I know. And I am sorry.

0:23:15 > 0:23:18But we can't be together any more.

0:23:18 > 0:23:20Why? Help me understand.

0:23:21 > 0:23:24We've tried, trust me.

0:23:24 > 0:23:28But then you realise you're only going to keep hurting one

0:23:28 > 0:23:31- another if you stay together. - So that's it?

0:23:31 > 0:23:34Is it? There's no way to change your mind?

0:23:34 > 0:23:36Sorry, love.

0:23:47 > 0:23:49I'll speak to him.

0:23:56 > 0:23:59Oh!

0:23:59 > 0:24:01Oh, not the ignition?

0:24:01 > 0:24:03Always the most unlikely place!

0:24:03 > 0:24:06I can't believe that they were there all along.

0:24:06 > 0:24:10- Her and her stupid dream. - You're dreaming about Valerie again?

0:24:10 > 0:24:13No, it was just her nonsense that distracted me in the first place.

0:24:13 > 0:24:15I'll give her The Shining!

0:24:15 > 0:24:20- Stanley Kubrick, 1980. It's a cracker.- Where are you going?

0:24:20 > 0:24:23Um, I'm off to see Mother. Four-hour drive.

0:24:23 > 0:24:26- Massive overreaction on my part. - Well, after the day I've had,

0:24:26 > 0:24:29I'd hate to think anyone else was losing their marbles.

0:24:29 > 0:24:31I'm sorry, I didn't mean...

0:24:31 > 0:24:33I'm sure she'll appreciate some TLC.

0:24:35 > 0:24:37Thanks, Em.

0:24:37 > 0:24:38See you later.

0:24:44 > 0:24:47I just want it to be how it was.

0:24:47 > 0:24:50I'd come home, Mum would put the kettle on, Dad would start

0:24:50 > 0:24:54droning on about the football scores, even though I hate football!

0:24:54 > 0:24:58We all wish we could preserve certain moments in time.

0:24:58 > 0:25:02Well, today's going to be etched on my brain for the rest of my life, isn't it?

0:25:02 > 0:25:04That's one bad memory my parents couldn't save me from!

0:25:04 > 0:25:09No, but they agonised about it before telling you. They love you.

0:25:09 > 0:25:11Very much.

0:25:11 > 0:25:15- I guess. - We can't always have happy memories.

0:25:15 > 0:25:19The bad ones are there to help you appreciate the good stuff.

0:25:19 > 0:25:22That's one way to look at it.

0:25:22 > 0:25:23Come and see me.

0:25:23 > 0:25:26And we can explore this incredible gift of yours.

0:25:29 > 0:25:33Thanks, but I won't be doing any tests.

0:25:33 > 0:25:36Why not?

0:25:36 > 0:25:39Because I just want to get on with my life.

0:25:39 > 0:25:43- I'm sorry, Dr Carter. I... - You don't have to apologise.

0:25:43 > 0:25:47You have an incredibly rare condition.

0:25:47 > 0:25:50And we could help you manage it, make your life easier.

0:25:52 > 0:25:55Think about it.

0:25:55 > 0:25:57You know where I am.

0:26:03 > 0:26:06Well, Joe and I have been keeping ourselves busy.

0:26:06 > 0:26:11- Isn't this the most epically awesome picture?- That is fantastic, Joe!

0:26:11 > 0:26:13Why don't you go and hang it up in your room?

0:26:15 > 0:26:17So, did you speak to Mrs Tembe?

0:26:17 > 0:26:20Er, we discussed a few things, yeah.

0:26:20 > 0:26:22Like?

0:26:22 > 0:26:26Um, partners' meetings via video calls, phone-based consultations, that kind of thing.

0:26:26 > 0:26:28See? You're making progress.

0:26:28 > 0:26:32It's not impossible. So, let's see what is in that mini bar

0:26:32 > 0:26:34because I think we deserve a drink!

0:26:36 > 0:26:37What?

0:26:37 > 0:26:40When are you going to open your eyes?

0:26:40 > 0:26:44- I'm just trying to make the best of things.- Putting on a brave face.

0:26:44 > 0:26:47Do you think it's going to make the slightest bit of difference?

0:26:47 > 0:26:51I mean, what is it going to take for you to stop this madness?

0:26:51 > 0:26:56- You know I can't!- This is a hell of your making! Don't ever forget that!

0:26:56 > 0:26:59I'm just really sad that you dragged me and Joe into it!

0:27:08 > 0:27:11- Something different about me? - What the hell have you done?

0:27:13 > 0:27:15It'll be good to see Henry again.

0:27:15 > 0:27:18Mother...

0:27:18 > 0:27:21You look a million dollars.

0:27:21 > 0:27:25Just when I thought my day couldn't get any worse.

0:27:25 > 0:27:28I think you two lovebirds have got better things to do.
