0:00:47 > 0:00:48Mum? Mum, I'm off.

0:01:02 > 0:01:04Come on. Come on.

0:01:08 > 0:01:09I'm sorry.

0:01:12 > 0:01:13Sorry, Todd. I'm sorry.

0:01:15 > 0:01:18- You promised. - DOORBELL

0:01:20 > 0:01:23What kept you? I can't get another late. Come on.

0:01:23 > 0:01:26I'm not going. Can you tell them?

0:01:26 > 0:01:27Tell them...?

0:01:27 > 0:01:30My mum. She's...not well.

0:01:30 > 0:01:31Thought she was doing good these days.

0:01:31 > 0:01:33It's not her back. She's...

0:01:34 > 0:01:37- ..she's got the flu.- You'll have to get your mum to phone.

0:01:37 > 0:01:38Todd?

0:01:38 > 0:01:40She's really...

0:01:41 > 0:01:42She's really unwell though.

0:01:42 > 0:01:45- I'll try. But I'm telling you, they're going to freak.- Tom!

0:01:45 > 0:01:46Cheers, mate.

0:01:50 > 0:01:53Mum, you don't need to rush off home.

0:01:53 > 0:01:55There's been no definite diagnosis yet.

0:01:55 > 0:01:57It could be a number of things.

0:01:57 > 0:02:01But it could be dementia. I just need to find out.

0:02:01 > 0:02:02You'd be the same.

0:02:03 > 0:02:05It's just another illness.

0:02:06 > 0:02:09There are some very good medications out there that can slow

0:02:09 > 0:02:11the progress.

0:02:11 > 0:02:14Heston says I could plateau for several years.

0:02:14 > 0:02:17I know all that. But you need to stop talking like it's a done deal.

0:02:17 > 0:02:21I just need to sort out the rest of my life.

0:02:21 > 0:02:26So I've just got to go and get on with it.

0:02:27 > 0:02:30All right, fine, if you're certain.

0:02:30 > 0:02:33But don't get the train, I'll drive you. Yeah?

0:02:33 > 0:02:36Oh, that'd be great. Thank you.

0:02:36 > 0:02:38- Now?- Yes, please.

0:02:40 > 0:02:42I'm so sorry.

0:02:44 > 0:02:48You said this time that was it. You'd stay clean for me.

0:02:48 > 0:02:50I meant it!

0:02:50 > 0:02:51You always mean it, Mum.

0:02:59 > 0:03:01I'll put the kettle on, your tea's gone cold.

0:03:02 > 0:03:05I don't know what I'd do without you.

0:03:09 > 0:03:11Mum?

0:03:12 > 0:03:14Is there anything left?

0:03:14 > 0:03:16In the flat?

0:03:16 > 0:03:18It's a total drug-free zone.

0:03:20 > 0:03:21New day and all that, eh?

0:03:24 > 0:03:26I've got a good feeling.

0:03:26 > 0:03:27No way could I let you down again.

0:03:43 > 0:03:45Mrs Lewsey?

0:03:47 > 0:03:50- KNOCKING - Mrs Lewsey, are you there?

0:03:52 > 0:03:55Look, this is Mrs Tembe from the Mill Health Centre.

0:03:55 > 0:03:58We have tried to contact you three times, but...

0:04:00 > 0:04:02We just want to make sure that you are all right.

0:04:26 > 0:04:27I've got a great idea.

0:04:28 > 0:04:30Hear me out. Vlogging.

0:04:30 > 0:04:33- Vlogging?- Yeah. Make your own video.

0:04:33 > 0:04:35Say what you want to say, how you want to say it.

0:04:35 > 0:04:37Upload it and then sit and watch it go viral.

0:04:37 > 0:04:39Yeah, I do know what a vlog is.

0:04:39 > 0:04:41I just don't think I'm a viral kind of person.

0:04:41 > 0:04:44Have you seen that one with the woman who recreates famous

0:04:44 > 0:04:47rock videos, but using just what she can find in the fridge?

0:04:49 > 0:04:50A girl I went to school with,

0:04:50 > 0:04:52she started one about black hairstyles.

0:04:52 > 0:04:55Now she's all over the internet and she's getting paid.

0:04:55 > 0:04:57She's not even half as smart as you.

0:04:57 > 0:05:00Oh, come on, Sid. It's you, talking to a laptop.

0:05:00 > 0:05:02How hard can it be?

0:05:02 > 0:05:07She did Bat Out Of Hell using only a banana yogurt and a broccoli.

0:05:07 > 0:05:08It's up to you.

0:05:08 > 0:05:11If you don't want the Sid Vere message to reach millions...

0:05:20 > 0:05:24Mill Health Centre. That's the doctor's, isn't it?

0:05:24 > 0:05:26Dunno.

0:05:27 > 0:05:29They sent some letters.

0:05:29 > 0:05:31What letters?

0:05:31 > 0:05:33Medication review, or something.

0:05:35 > 0:05:37She said they've been three times.

0:05:40 > 0:05:41Come on, Mum.

0:05:41 > 0:05:45I don't always answer the door, do I? Could be anyone.

0:05:46 > 0:05:50Look, I'm not feeling great, Todd.

0:05:50 > 0:05:52Can you sort it?

0:05:52 > 0:05:55I don't want anybody... You know. Asking questions.

0:05:56 > 0:05:58- You're my... - I'm your lifeline. Yeah, I know.

0:06:05 > 0:06:07Don't worry, Mum.

0:06:14 > 0:06:16KNOCK ON DOOR Come in.

0:06:19 > 0:06:21HE CLEARS HIS THROAT

0:06:21 > 0:06:23Thanks. What do you want?

0:06:24 > 0:06:26OK, so, I did a bit of research...and apparently

0:06:26 > 0:06:28a video is worth 1.8 million words.

0:06:28 > 0:06:30I think they got their maths wrong somewhere, but...

0:06:30 > 0:06:33- I'd like to take you up on your offer.- Hang on...- We've both got

0:06:33 > 0:06:36the afternoon off, so let's go back to yours and crack on with it, yeah?

0:06:36 > 0:06:39First, there was no offer. I don't know anything about vlogging.

0:06:39 > 0:06:41And second, I'm busy.

0:06:41 > 0:06:44Er, how hard can it be, remember? And... I need you, Eesh.

0:06:44 > 0:06:45You know what cool is.

0:06:46 > 0:06:49Look, if I don't do it now I might not get another chance,

0:06:49 > 0:06:51- and there's so much that needs to be said.- You'll be fine!

0:06:51 > 0:06:53If anyone can talk, it's you.

0:06:54 > 0:06:56Please, Eesh, I don't want to mess it up.

0:06:57 > 0:06:59I'll bring biscuits.

0:07:00 > 0:07:04Come to Valerie's after morning surgery. And get proper biscuits.

0:07:06 > 0:07:08Chocolate ones! HE LAUGHS

0:07:13 > 0:07:15I don't understand.

0:07:15 > 0:07:17I told you. She wouldn't take no for an answer.

0:07:17 > 0:07:19Look, hurry up and get in that shower.

0:07:19 > 0:07:22- She's going to be here in half an hour.- Half an hour?!

0:07:22 > 0:07:25Look, I let you lie as long as I could.

0:07:25 > 0:07:28You want to impress her, don't you? You want to get her off your back?

0:07:28 > 0:07:30Everything's going to be fine, love.

0:07:35 > 0:07:37Oh!

0:07:50 > 0:07:51What?

0:07:51 > 0:07:53This is so unfair.

0:07:54 > 0:07:57You've done really well since Dad died.

0:07:57 > 0:08:00You've found yourself a future to look forward to.

0:08:00 > 0:08:02And now this happens.

0:08:02 > 0:08:04I've still got a future.

0:08:05 > 0:08:09- Just not the one I planned. - And you're all right with that?

0:08:09 > 0:08:11Lately I've been trying to go with the flow.

0:08:11 > 0:08:13Maybe you should try it sometime.

0:08:13 > 0:08:16This place... I mean, it's so big. Big and empty.

0:08:18 > 0:08:20You're four hours away.

0:08:20 > 0:08:23How am I supposed to look after you when you're four hours away?

0:08:23 > 0:08:26"This place" is my home.

0:08:27 > 0:08:30And I want to stay here, surrounded by my friends, as long as I can.

0:08:33 > 0:08:34Maybe you can help me with that?

0:08:36 > 0:08:39And you can start by making me a nice ham sandwich and a cup of tea.

0:08:41 > 0:08:42Yeah, coming up.

0:08:44 > 0:08:46I'm so sorry about any mix-up.

0:08:46 > 0:08:48I've been very busy and it slipped my mind.

0:08:48 > 0:08:51- Can I get you a drink? - Oh, no. No, thank you.

0:08:57 > 0:08:58Mrs Lewsey,

0:08:58 > 0:09:01are you all right talking to me in the presence of your son?

0:09:01 > 0:09:05Of course. We don't have any secrets. Do we, love?

0:09:06 > 0:09:09Well, I am here on behalf of The Mill Health Centre.

0:09:09 > 0:09:11We have been trying to contact you

0:09:11 > 0:09:14because your medication review is overdue.

0:09:14 > 0:09:17We just want to help you in the best way we can.

0:09:17 > 0:09:21And now I, er... I will need to ask you a few questions,

0:09:21 > 0:09:23- if you don't mind?- Of course!

0:09:25 > 0:09:29How is your back injury? Are there any mobility problems?

0:09:29 > 0:09:32I don't get out much. But I manage around the flat.

0:09:32 > 0:09:35And I've got my Todd.

0:09:35 > 0:09:39Well, we do a medication delivery service.

0:09:39 > 0:09:42- Oh? Can you set that up for me? - Yes. Yes, of course.

0:09:42 > 0:09:46Once you have had your medication review with the doctor.

0:09:47 > 0:09:50You are on some very powerful painkillers

0:09:50 > 0:09:53and we just have to monitor it regularly.

0:09:53 > 0:09:56Shall I make you an appointment now?

0:09:57 > 0:09:59There's no rush, is there?

0:10:00 > 0:10:02My diary's jam-packed at the moment.

0:10:02 > 0:10:03Mum...

0:10:03 > 0:10:05Next question, please.

0:10:11 > 0:10:14While I do the washing-up, why don't you go and have a nap?

0:10:15 > 0:10:18Ooh. What a good idea.

0:10:21 > 0:10:23I'll see you later.

0:10:37 > 0:10:40Well, your mother has been through a great deal.

0:10:40 > 0:10:42Yeah.

0:10:42 > 0:10:45Well, she seems very grateful for your help.

0:10:47 > 0:10:50She's my mum. What else am I supposed to do?

0:10:52 > 0:10:55You know that there is help for you if you need it, Todd.

0:10:55 > 0:10:58You do not have to do this all on your own.

0:10:58 > 0:10:59Especially while you are at school.

0:11:02 > 0:11:03Hope you got everything you needed.

0:11:05 > 0:11:07Aren't you supposed to be at school today?

0:11:07 > 0:11:10Erm... Sixth form. Study leave. Yeah.

0:11:10 > 0:11:13Actually, I should actually be revising right now, so...

0:11:13 > 0:11:15Thanks again for coming. Right.

0:11:15 > 0:11:17I'll see you soon. OK, bye.

0:11:17 > 0:11:19Bye.

0:11:23 > 0:11:26Old busybody, sticking her nose in. I showed her!

0:11:26 > 0:11:28Yeah, you got rid of someone who could have helped you.

0:11:28 > 0:11:30- Well done. - PHONE RINGS

0:11:33 > 0:11:35Hello.

0:11:36 > 0:11:39Hey, man, what's up?

0:11:41 > 0:11:43Cheers, man.

0:11:49 > 0:11:50What's happened?

0:11:55 > 0:11:58Come on, Todd. It's me you're talking to here.

0:12:02 > 0:12:03My Dickens coursework.

0:12:05 > 0:12:09Mrs Blake says there's no way I can have any more extensions.

0:12:09 > 0:12:10So, hand it in by two o'clock

0:12:10 > 0:12:12or I might as well just chuck it in the bin.

0:12:12 > 0:12:15- Well, get yourself up there, then! - No. You're going to need me.

0:12:15 > 0:12:16You know you are.

0:12:16 > 0:12:18I'll be fine.

0:12:19 > 0:12:21I know I can do it.

0:12:22 > 0:12:25What, like you said yesterday? And last week?

0:12:25 > 0:12:27It's different today.

0:12:28 > 0:12:30This time it's for you, Todd. Because...

0:12:32 > 0:12:35..you should be at school, getting your exams,

0:12:35 > 0:12:36getting on in the world.

0:12:36 > 0:12:39Out with your mates. Not stuck here.

0:12:40 > 0:12:44I'll get clean, get back to the doctors and sort myself out.

0:12:46 > 0:12:48Look. No... No. I'll just hand it in on Monday.

0:12:48 > 0:12:50They're just going to have to give me extra time.

0:12:50 > 0:12:53You've worked really hard on that.

0:12:53 > 0:12:55So either you take it to school...

0:12:55 > 0:12:56or I will.

0:13:00 > 0:13:02SHE STRAINS

0:13:34 > 0:13:38Look, she has a severe chronic back injury.

0:13:38 > 0:13:43Yes, she had a very bad car accident. Her partner was killed.

0:13:43 > 0:13:47But if Mrs Lewsey is in so much pain,

0:13:47 > 0:13:50why would she miss her medication review?

0:13:50 > 0:13:52Well, we can't force people to come to the surgery.

0:13:52 > 0:13:54- Look, you checked up on her?- Mm.

0:13:54 > 0:13:57Gave her the information? And she answered all the questions?

0:13:57 > 0:14:00Yes... Yes, she did, but...

0:14:00 > 0:14:03But there is also the matter of her son Todd.

0:14:03 > 0:14:07He was on study leave today, but he cannot be there all the time.

0:14:07 > 0:14:10OK, well, when you write your assessment, include your concerns.

0:14:10 > 0:14:13Make sure that you don't jump to conclusions.

0:14:13 > 0:14:15Of course not, Dr Reid.

0:14:18 > 0:14:23But Todd is only 15. He said he was in sixth form.

0:14:23 > 0:14:25Oh? Well, you know what teenagers are like.

0:14:25 > 0:14:26But why would he lie?

0:14:28 > 0:14:32- Thanks for the heads up, man. - No problem, Nerdy McNerdy face.

0:14:36 > 0:14:38PHONE BEEPS

0:14:43 > 0:14:46Todd, where are you?

0:14:46 > 0:14:47I thought you'd be back.

0:14:49 > 0:14:51My skin is crawling. Todd...

0:14:53 > 0:14:55How dare you lock me in, you little...

0:14:55 > 0:14:57Cheeseburger o'clock. You up for it?

0:14:57 > 0:15:00Nah, nah, man. I have to go.

0:15:02 > 0:15:04So... OK.

0:15:04 > 0:15:08I am thinking that a pop of colour would really help liven up

0:15:08 > 0:15:09your ambiance.

0:15:09 > 0:15:13Because you're a little bit...well, beige, at the moment.

0:15:14 > 0:15:17I haggled for this in a souk in Morocco.

0:15:17 > 0:15:19- What do you think?- I actually think you're onto something, Valerie.

0:15:19 > 0:15:21A bit more of a vibrant background.

0:15:21 > 0:15:24- Oh, Ayesha...- And then I can just hit them with my statistics

0:15:24 > 0:15:28- and more personal stuff, can't I? - Er, don't overdo the personal stuff. Or the stats.

0:15:28 > 0:15:30Oh! And, Sid, don't sit down.

0:15:30 > 0:15:34I think you should stand up, move around. Be more...dynamic.

0:15:34 > 0:15:39- OK.- I am not feeling the positive energy.

0:15:40 > 0:15:42I think we need some music.

0:15:43 > 0:15:44Right...

0:15:44 > 0:15:47OK.... Ah...

0:15:49 > 0:15:51Oh, perfect!

0:15:51 > 0:15:53MUSIC: LA MACARENA BY LOS DEL RIO

0:15:53 > 0:15:57Oh, Valerie. No. No, no, no.

0:15:57 > 0:16:00It's like a bad hen do in Blackpool.

0:16:00 > 0:16:03MUSIC STOPS How about...

0:16:04 > 0:16:07MUSIC: JUST A RASCAL BY DIZZEE RASCAL

0:16:07 > 0:16:11I think that might be a little bit too...upbeat for this.

0:16:11 > 0:16:13Ooh, I know. You could rap the whole thing.

0:16:15 > 0:16:17Yeah. Sidzee Rascal!

0:16:18 > 0:16:21Maybe not. How about this one?

0:16:21 > 0:16:24SOOTHING MUSIC

0:16:24 > 0:16:25- Mm.- Yeah?

0:16:29 > 0:16:30Thank you, darling.

0:16:32 > 0:16:33OK? Here goes.

0:16:35 > 0:16:36Wish me luck.

0:16:54 > 0:16:56Mum!

0:16:56 > 0:16:57SOOTHING MUSIC

0:16:57 > 0:17:00You see, we actually have a bit of a double whammy going on

0:17:00 > 0:17:02in this country at the moment

0:17:02 > 0:17:04of an ageing population and a skills shortage.

0:17:04 > 0:17:07And it is people like Kumi here, that far from sucking

0:17:07 > 0:17:10the system dry, they're actually helping sustain it.

0:17:12 > 0:17:15Plugging the gaps, providing the skills.

0:17:15 > 0:17:18And, without them, would we even have a system?

0:17:18 > 0:17:21Does anyone really want to test out that theory?

0:17:21 > 0:17:25Er, Mrs Lewsey? I... Her door was left...

0:17:27 > 0:17:30Mrs Lewsey? Mrs Lewsey,

0:17:30 > 0:17:32can you hear me?

0:17:33 > 0:17:35What has happened?

0:17:35 > 0:17:37Todd? Todd!?

0:17:37 > 0:17:38She's taken an overdose.

0:17:38 > 0:17:41An overdose? Of what?

0:17:42 > 0:17:45Heroin. She overdosed on heroin.

0:17:45 > 0:17:47I can hardly feel her pulse!

0:17:47 > 0:17:48Have you called an ambulance?

0:17:55 > 0:17:57Er... Hello?

0:17:58 > 0:18:00Er, ambulance please.

0:18:02 > 0:18:05Yes, this is Mrs Tembe from the Mill Health Centre.

0:18:06 > 0:18:13I am at flat 312, Starling House, Southam Street.

0:18:13 > 0:18:15Yeah, I am with a female patient.

0:18:17 > 0:18:22Her name is...um... Mrs...Michelle Lewsey. She's 35.

0:18:22 > 0:18:26Look, the patient is unconscious and unresponsive.

0:18:26 > 0:18:29I think it may be a heroin overdose.

0:18:30 > 0:18:32Please, just hurry!

0:18:34 > 0:18:37Right, Todd. Todd, do not worry.

0:18:37 > 0:18:42OK? I know this...this must be a big shock for you.

0:18:43 > 0:18:47But the ambulance, the ambulance is on its way and...

0:18:47 > 0:18:50and everything...everything is going to be all right.

0:18:51 > 0:18:53She won't, though.

0:18:54 > 0:18:56And I'm not shocked.

0:18:56 > 0:18:57I'm used to it.

0:18:57 > 0:19:01- What, this has happened before? - I'm not going to save her this time.

0:19:01 > 0:19:02Todd?

0:19:04 > 0:19:05Todd, this is important.

0:19:07 > 0:19:09How did you...how did you save her?

0:19:10 > 0:19:12How?

0:19:12 > 0:19:13With naloxone.

0:19:15 > 0:19:17- It's an antidote. - You have some here in the flat?

0:19:19 > 0:19:21Where is it?

0:19:22 > 0:19:25I can't do it. I can't do it any more.

0:19:25 > 0:19:26Todd...

0:19:27 > 0:19:29Todd, this is your mother.

0:19:30 > 0:19:34Look, think how will you feel if you allow her to die.

0:19:34 > 0:19:36Can't feel any worse than when I've saved her life

0:19:36 > 0:19:37and she just went straight back to it.

0:19:37 > 0:19:40Look, I know you do not want her to die.

0:19:40 > 0:19:44So, Todd, where is it?

0:19:45 > 0:19:48- I can't.- Todd, you don't have to. I will do it.

0:19:48 > 0:19:52Look, you do not have to carry this burden any more.

0:19:52 > 0:19:54But we need to help your mother.

0:19:56 > 0:19:57Todd, she loves you.

0:19:59 > 0:20:01And you love her.

0:20:01 > 0:20:02Todd!

0:20:03 > 0:20:05Look at your mother.

0:20:08 > 0:20:10Mum...

0:20:10 > 0:20:12Todd, we need to hurry.

0:20:12 > 0:20:14Drawer, drawer.

0:20:14 > 0:20:15Drawer.

0:20:34 > 0:20:36Todd!

0:20:41 > 0:20:44Oh, it was so good to be back in my own bed.

0:20:46 > 0:20:49I know that look. What have you been up to?

0:20:49 > 0:20:51Just...please, hear me out.

0:20:51 > 0:20:54Exhibit A. Clear labelling

0:20:54 > 0:20:56on every cupboard and every drawer.

0:20:56 > 0:20:58Now, I've not touched anything inside the cupboards.

0:20:58 > 0:21:02Your stuff is safe. I've just labelled it a bit more clearly.

0:21:02 > 0:21:06As I have done with every single one of your photographs... So now

0:21:06 > 0:21:08you'll know who's who.

0:21:08 > 0:21:10Um... Now, I've labelled up all your medication

0:21:10 > 0:21:12so you'll know exactly when to take it.

0:21:12 > 0:21:15What else have I done? Ooh, yeah, I enjoyed this.

0:21:15 > 0:21:17I wrote you a script.

0:21:17 > 0:21:20Someone comes knocking at the front door, unexpected like,

0:21:20 > 0:21:21you read that out to them.

0:21:21 > 0:21:24I've done a similar one for if you get a cold caller on the telephone.

0:21:24 > 0:21:27Telephone? Telephone...Telephone... Yeah! Telephone directory!

0:21:27 > 0:21:31So, this is all the friends' and family's telephone numbers,

0:21:31 > 0:21:34and I've put a photograph next to them so you know who's who.

0:21:34 > 0:21:38That's Francis, and you'll recognise that handsome chap.

0:21:38 > 0:21:41- Oh.- That's my telephone number and I've got a copy of this as well.

0:21:41 > 0:21:45And it's going to remind me that I'm going to call you every night at...

0:21:45 > 0:21:47- Eight o'clock.- Eight o'clock.

0:21:47 > 0:21:49Now, I checked all the smoke alarms,

0:21:49 > 0:21:51all the carbon monoxide detectors....

0:21:51 > 0:21:53Um... Oh, yeah, now.

0:21:53 > 0:21:57I've drawn you up... a diet and exercise plan.

0:21:57 > 0:22:01I know, I know. But they say that healthy eating

0:22:01 > 0:22:05and keeping active with regular habits is good for you.

0:22:05 > 0:22:08My habits are perfectly regular, thank you, Alasdair.

0:22:08 > 0:22:11Everything is on this clever little device.

0:22:11 > 0:22:14And you've got a GP's appointment tomorrow morning at 11:15.

0:22:14 > 0:22:17- Oh, I could have done that myself! - I've set an alarm for it.

0:22:17 > 0:22:19I've also set an alarm for your coffee morning,

0:22:19 > 0:22:24when the bins go out and basically all your favourite TV programmes.

0:22:24 > 0:22:28Right... Ib, jib, jab, jib, ju... I think that that is it...

0:22:29 > 0:22:31- Lovely, dear...- ..for in here!

0:22:31 > 0:22:34If you walk this way, I've more wonders to show you.

0:22:42 > 0:22:45You locked me in. And you didn't come back.

0:22:45 > 0:22:48- You stole my money. - I'll pay you back!- With what?

0:22:48 > 0:22:50Your compensation's long gone.

0:22:52 > 0:22:54How did you manage it anyway?

0:22:54 > 0:22:56I called Jason. We, er...

0:22:58 > 0:23:00..through the letterbox. Oh, Todd.

0:23:00 > 0:23:02You see? She'll do anything to get it.

0:23:02 > 0:23:05- I'm going to stop. I promise! - Save it, Mum.

0:23:07 > 0:23:10Look, tell your mother how difficult this has been for you.

0:23:10 > 0:23:12What's the point?

0:23:12 > 0:23:15I love you, Todd! I'm listening.

0:23:15 > 0:23:18Yeah. Until your next hit. That's all that you care about.

0:23:18 > 0:23:20It's all that you want and it's all that you need.

0:23:20 > 0:23:23I can barely get to school, and when I'm there I can't concentrate.

0:23:23 > 0:23:26Cos the only person I can think about is you.

0:23:26 > 0:23:27Are you OK? Have you OD'd again?

0:23:27 > 0:23:30Are you too busy in the middle of the street hustling up some

0:23:30 > 0:23:33- skanky guy for your next hit? - Todd...- Don't touch me!

0:23:33 > 0:23:36All these lies, all these secrets. I can't do it any more.

0:23:36 > 0:23:39My best friend doesn't even know the truth.

0:23:39 > 0:23:41I bought that naloxone online with my own money

0:23:41 > 0:23:44because you started taking risks and getting stupid with it.

0:23:44 > 0:23:46I know. And you've looked after me.

0:23:48 > 0:23:51Yeah, well, not any more. That's the last time I'm doing that.

0:23:52 > 0:23:55How many times have you had to administer this?

0:23:56 > 0:23:58Three, counting today.

0:23:59 > 0:24:02She'd never even let me call an ambulance afterwards

0:24:02 > 0:24:04cos she didn't want anyone to find out.

0:24:04 > 0:24:06Then I lay awake all night wondering if she was going to die anyway.

0:24:06 > 0:24:09I don't know how it got so bad.

0:24:10 > 0:24:12I thought I could handle it.

0:24:13 > 0:24:15I'll get help.

0:24:15 > 0:24:16You'll help us, won't you?

0:24:19 > 0:24:22It's too late for that. I'll be 16 in February.

0:24:24 > 0:24:26I was saving up for rent for my own place.

0:24:26 > 0:24:27That's what that stash was for.

0:24:27 > 0:24:30- But you can't! - With or without it, I'm leaving.

0:24:31 > 0:24:36What will I do? Todd, you don't mean it. I'm your mum!

0:24:36 > 0:24:37Don't you understand?

0:24:37 > 0:24:40If she hadn't come today I would have let you die.

0:24:41 > 0:24:43Just for all this to stop.

0:24:51 > 0:24:53The colour coding for the keys and locks

0:24:53 > 0:24:57simply comes down to green is go, red is stop.

0:24:57 > 0:25:00Right. Shall we go through all that again?

0:25:00 > 0:25:02No. Thank you. I've got it.

0:25:03 > 0:25:05I quite enjoyed doing that. All the organising.

0:25:05 > 0:25:07I think I get that side from Dad.

0:25:07 > 0:25:11- Alasdair...- Why, was it too much? I went too far, didn't I?

0:25:12 > 0:25:16It's wonderful. And so thoughtful.

0:25:16 > 0:25:18It's just what I need.

0:25:18 > 0:25:20Oh, Mum...

0:25:20 > 0:25:25Thank you. Now you know you can leave me safely.

0:25:27 > 0:25:29On my own.

0:25:31 > 0:25:33Yeah.

0:25:37 > 0:25:40Tell him he can't leave!

0:25:40 > 0:25:43I can't do it without him, I love him. Tell him, please!

0:25:43 > 0:25:45He'll listen to you.

0:25:45 > 0:25:49Mrs Lewsey, don't you realise what a tremendous burden you have placed

0:25:49 > 0:25:51on your son?

0:25:51 > 0:25:53I know all that, I know.

0:25:53 > 0:25:57Todd was very clear. He cannot continue.

0:25:57 > 0:26:02The surgery can... It can offer you help and support.

0:26:02 > 0:26:05It can get you in touch with social services and...

0:26:05 > 0:26:07the drug rehabilitation centre.

0:26:09 > 0:26:11We can help with your physical symptoms. But...

0:26:15 > 0:26:19Do you hear that, Todd? Everything's going to be fine.

0:26:19 > 0:26:23I am so sorry, Todd. You must have felt so alone.

0:26:24 > 0:26:27Todd, you're coming to the hospital?

0:26:44 > 0:26:46I, er, I need to hit the road.

0:26:48 > 0:26:50I'm calling you later, though, aren't I?

0:26:51 > 0:26:53At eight o'clock.

0:26:53 > 0:26:56I'll see myself out, yeah? Bye, Mum.

0:26:56 > 0:26:58Bye, dear.

0:27:03 > 0:27:04SHE SIGHS

0:27:27 > 0:27:28I've been more tired.

0:27:29 > 0:27:31Blood pressure's up, ankles are swollen.

0:27:31 > 0:27:33And that could mean...?

0:27:33 > 0:27:35Terminal failure.

0:27:35 > 0:27:37I am doing this, with or without you.

0:27:37 > 0:27:40Yeah, course you are. Cos all you care about is winning.

0:27:40 > 0:27:43You are going to have to strap Darcy to your chest

0:27:43 > 0:27:45and go to male bonding sessions with other young dads.

0:27:45 > 0:27:49- I ain't wearing no papoose. Not for no-one.- Yeah, we'll see.
