0:01:12 > 0:01:14I thought you were supposed to be at college.
0:01:14 > 0:01:16Study morning.
0:01:16 > 0:01:18So why isn't your head stuck in a book?
0:01:18 > 0:01:21Nappies. Mrs Hollins messaged. Told me to bring them round, soon as.
0:01:21 > 0:01:23We've got nappies coming out of our ears.
0:01:23 > 0:01:24Then why the text?
0:01:26 > 0:01:28Mrs Hollins would call it acting as a go-between,
0:01:28 > 0:01:31but I would call it interfering, only not to her face.
0:01:31 > 0:01:33- Whatever.- Austin.
0:01:33 > 0:01:34- I'll swap you.- What's that?
0:01:36 > 0:01:37That's a screwdriver.
0:01:40 > 0:01:43This one. This one's my favourite!
0:01:43 > 0:01:45You know they won't all fit on the tree?
0:01:45 > 0:01:47They will if...
0:01:47 > 0:01:49No way!
0:01:49 > 0:01:51Oh, it'll be so pretty!
0:01:51 > 0:01:53Yeah, until it drops needles everywhere.
0:01:53 > 0:01:56But I'll pick up every single one. Please, Mum!
0:01:56 > 0:02:00OK. You can have a real tree. But five foot, maximum.
0:02:00 > 0:02:02Oh, thanks, Mum. This is going to be the best Christmas ever!

0:02:05 > 0:02:07- I'll get it.- He's early.
0:02:07 > 0:02:08I'd better warm that teapot.
0:02:10 > 0:02:12Look who's here.
0:02:12 > 0:02:14Oh, I'm so glad you could come. How's Ruhma?
0:02:14 > 0:02:17She's very good. She sends her love.
0:02:17 > 0:02:19Look what I found on the doorstep!
0:02:19 > 0:02:22I have no idea who it belongs to. Sorry it's late.
0:02:22 > 0:02:23Happy birthday.
0:02:25 > 0:02:27And I'm sorry we had to cancel last time.
0:02:27 > 0:02:29She, um, had a temperature.
0:02:29 > 0:02:31We couldn't risk exposing her to any bugs.
0:02:32 > 0:02:35Oh, it's brilliant! Thanks, Heston.
0:02:35 > 0:02:38And I expect you to name every part next time I see you.
0:02:38 > 0:02:41What, like the left ventricle, the mitral valve?
0:02:41 > 0:02:42Bravo.
0:02:42 > 0:02:46- Molly, love, why don't you go and fetch your new phone? You show Heston.- OK.
0:02:47 > 0:02:48Don't rush, love.
0:02:51 > 0:02:53She's downloaded so many medical apps.
0:02:53 > 0:02:56She'll have access to more information than I had when I was training.
0:02:56 > 0:02:58So, what do you think?
0:02:58 > 0:02:59Love, he's only just got here!
0:02:59 > 0:03:02Heston, please. Has she got worse?
0:03:10 > 0:03:12HE CHUCKLES
0:03:13 > 0:03:15Where's Joe?
0:03:15 > 0:03:18Oh, he was having such a good time, it seemed a shame to spoil it.
0:03:18 > 0:03:20His breast stroke's really coming on, isn't it?
0:03:20 > 0:03:21You left him there?
0:03:21 > 0:03:24Yeah, his mate from down the corridor's with him, and PC Plod's watching him like a hawk.
0:03:24 > 0:03:26One of us should be there.
0:03:26 > 0:03:30Look, he needs time out to be a normal kid, to have some fun.
0:03:30 > 0:03:32He can have fun with his parents.
0:03:32 > 0:03:35Stuck in a hotel room under police protection?
0:03:35 > 0:03:37You know this isn't what I want.
0:03:37 > 0:03:41- Well, then, why don't you...? - Why don't I what? Walk away?
0:03:41 > 0:03:43No-one would think any less of you.
0:03:44 > 0:03:47Look, I see how you try to make things normal for him,
0:03:47 > 0:03:49but he knows this isn't a holiday.
0:03:51 > 0:03:53And I see the way that he looks at you sometimes.
0:03:53 > 0:03:55It's like he's...
0:03:55 > 0:03:58It's like he's trying to take away the thing that's hurting his mummy.
0:03:58 > 0:04:00- Where are you going? - To check on our son.
0:04:04 > 0:04:07But did you notice her ankles, the swelling?
0:04:07 > 0:04:08Well, to be honest,
0:04:08 > 0:04:10I was more interested in wishing her a happy birthday.
0:04:10 > 0:04:13She's exhausted all the time.
0:04:13 > 0:04:16Her breathing... I mean, just climbing the stairs is a real effort.
0:04:16 > 0:04:19Judith, we invited Heston, not Dr Carter.
0:04:19 > 0:04:21And if the swelling's fluid retention...
0:04:21 > 0:04:24Well, it could be a sign. When's her next check-up?
0:04:24 > 0:04:25Not for another week.
0:04:25 > 0:04:28Well, you could ask the hospital to bring the appointment forward.
0:04:28 > 0:04:30They know how acute her condition is.
0:04:32 > 0:04:33Is this it?
0:04:33 > 0:04:35Don't say that!
0:04:35 > 0:04:37No, there's no need to panic.
0:04:37 > 0:04:40- I found this American forum... - Yeah, you sent me the link.
0:04:40 > 0:04:42And it's expensive, but we'd manage somehow.
0:04:42 > 0:04:44I wouldn't bother.
0:04:44 > 0:04:47The research is at an early stage. And, realistically,
0:04:47 > 0:04:52the only thing that's going to help Molly is a transplant.
0:04:52 > 0:04:55It's been two years. I mean, how much longer can she wait?
0:04:57 > 0:04:58Medium screw.
0:05:03 > 0:05:05- ROB SIGHS - No, that's a large one.
0:05:07 > 0:05:09You know, it would be quicker if we did this together.
0:05:09 > 0:05:11I'm passing you the bits, aren't I?
0:05:13 > 0:05:15When are they going to get discharged?
0:05:15 > 0:05:17I don't know. Lily'll phone.
0:05:17 > 0:05:19Yeah. She's doing very well.
0:05:21 > 0:05:23She's a natural mum.
0:05:23 > 0:05:24Yeah. I knew she would.
0:05:26 > 0:05:28Yeah. Parenthood brings out the best in some people.
0:05:28 > 0:05:29Oh, but not me?
0:05:31 > 0:05:32I didn't say that.
0:05:32 > 0:05:35Typical copper. One look and you think you know me.
0:05:35 > 0:05:37PHONE RINGS
0:05:37 > 0:05:38Ah, the light of my life! Hi, love.
0:05:38 > 0:05:40How are you?
0:05:40 > 0:05:44How's it going? Do you really mean, is Austin here?
0:05:44 > 0:05:47No, he's not. Yes, of course he is!
0:05:47 > 0:05:49Don't know how I'd manage without him.
0:05:49 > 0:05:52All right, love. Speak to you later. OK, bye.
0:05:54 > 0:05:56This is all wrong.
0:05:56 > 0:05:59- Oh, yeah, and how many cots have you put up?- None, but I've got eyes,
0:05:59 > 0:06:03and I ain't having my daughter sleeping in a death trap.
0:06:03 > 0:06:04Well, if you think you can do better.
0:06:20 > 0:06:23You're not really here to look at my phone, are you?
0:06:23 > 0:06:25Well...
0:06:25 > 0:06:28They sent you here to find out if my heart's failing.
0:06:30 > 0:06:32How are things?
0:06:32 > 0:06:35I've been more tired. Blood pressure's up.
0:06:35 > 0:06:36Ankles are swollen.
0:06:38 > 0:06:40And that could mean...?
0:06:40 > 0:06:41Terminal failure.
0:06:42 > 0:06:44PHONE RINGS
0:06:44 > 0:06:46Have you discussed this with your parents?
0:06:46 > 0:06:47- JUDITH:- Hello?
0:06:47 > 0:06:49They don't need any more stress.
0:06:52 > 0:06:56Look, when my dad said about inviting you, I hoped we could talk.
0:06:59 > 0:07:01Do you want me to help break the bad news?
0:07:03 > 0:07:04Not exactly.
0:07:04 > 0:07:06- DOOR OPENS - Molly.
0:07:06 > 0:07:10That was the transplant centre. A heart's become available.
0:07:10 > 0:07:14It's the right blood group. Matching tissue type.
0:07:14 > 0:07:16The transplant team has been scrambled.
0:07:16 > 0:07:18Oh, finally!
0:07:18 > 0:07:20Well, that's what I call a birthday present!
0:07:26 > 0:07:27Well?
0:07:28 > 0:07:32Well, he was having such a great time, I said he could have another half an hour.
0:07:33 > 0:07:35So we're fine?
0:07:35 > 0:07:36Fine?
0:07:36 > 0:07:41This time next week, I am going to be standing in the witness box, giving evidence.
0:07:41 > 0:07:42You said you weren't worried about that.
0:07:42 > 0:07:45I said I'd given evidence before, not in a murder trial!
0:07:45 > 0:07:48All right! Anything I can do to help?
0:07:50 > 0:07:52You can be in my corner.
0:07:53 > 0:07:54We're living in a hotel, Zara.
0:07:54 > 0:07:57You know, you cannot pretend that that is good for our family.
0:07:57 > 0:07:59I am doing this, with or without you.
0:07:59 > 0:08:02Yeah, course you are, cos all you care about's winning.
0:08:09 > 0:08:14OK, pyjamas, toiletries, medication. OK, we're all set.
0:08:14 > 0:08:15I'd better be going. Good luck.
0:08:15 > 0:08:17Only a few more hours.
0:08:17 > 0:08:19I've looked everywhere. She's not here.
0:08:19 > 0:08:21- She must be.- We've got to go.
0:08:21 > 0:08:23Molly? Come on, sweetie!
0:08:23 > 0:08:24Moll!
0:08:24 > 0:08:27What's she doing? We've rehearsed this.
0:08:27 > 0:08:29She knows every minute is vital.
0:08:29 > 0:08:31Does she have friends nearby?
0:08:31 > 0:08:33Sophie. Lives in the next street. I'll drive round.
0:08:33 > 0:08:35No, no. It'll be quicker to phone.
0:08:39 > 0:08:42Carol, it's Judith. Is Molly there?
0:08:43 > 0:08:45It'll be nerves.
0:08:45 > 0:08:47It's easy to forget she's only 14.
0:08:47 > 0:08:50OK, thank you, Carol. No, no, no problem. Bye.
0:08:51 > 0:08:54Should we call the transplant centre, tell them what's happening?
0:08:54 > 0:08:55I don't understand.
0:08:56 > 0:08:57Medium screw.
0:09:01 > 0:09:03Medium!
0:09:03 > 0:09:04Yes, I know.
0:09:05 > 0:09:06HE CHUCKLES
0:09:09 > 0:09:11You're doing a good job.
0:09:11 > 0:09:13Mm. Hope Lily will like it.
0:09:13 > 0:09:14Course she will.
0:09:14 > 0:09:17But don't make the mistake of thinking that doing
0:09:17 > 0:09:19- a bit of DIY is going to be enough.- What do you mean?
0:09:19 > 0:09:22Well, things have changed, haven't they? I mean, my dad wouldn't even touch the pram.
0:09:22 > 0:09:25I mean, yes, you know, I pushed the buggy through the park,
0:09:25 > 0:09:28but you, my friend, you are going to have to strap Darcy
0:09:28 > 0:09:31to your chest and go to male bonding sessions with other young dads.
0:09:31 > 0:09:33Well, I ain't wearing no papoose, not for no-one!
0:09:33 > 0:09:36Yeah, we'll see. But you've got to get stuck in.
0:09:37 > 0:09:38I've been on YouTube,
0:09:38 > 0:09:41seen how to give her a feed and a bath.
0:09:41 > 0:09:44Good. Yeah. Getting down and dirty, that's the answer.
0:09:44 > 0:09:47Whoa, whoa, whoa! Whatever you and Mrs Hollins get up to, that's up to you!
0:09:47 > 0:09:50Changing nappies and doing the dishes, you numpty!
0:09:50 > 0:09:51AUSTIN LAUGHS
0:09:51 > 0:09:53That's how you keep Mum happy,
0:09:53 > 0:09:57- and it makes your life a lot easier, believe me.- Mm.
0:09:59 > 0:10:04I know it's scary, but we've waited so long for this.
0:10:04 > 0:10:08She's been so brave through all the other operations.
0:10:08 > 0:10:11Well, a heart transplant is about as serious as it gets.
0:10:11 > 0:10:15Heston's here. You can open the door now, sweetie.
0:10:16 > 0:10:17Just Heston.
0:10:19 > 0:10:20We're all here for you.
0:10:27 > 0:10:28Right, what's next?
0:10:28 > 0:10:30Er, slats.
0:10:30 > 0:10:31Nearly done, eh?
0:10:31 > 0:10:32HE GROANS
0:10:32 > 0:10:34We've done good.
0:10:39 > 0:10:41So, big day.
0:10:41 > 0:10:42Suppose.
0:10:42 > 0:10:45You've been dreaming about this for ages. Now here it is.
0:10:48 > 0:10:54Poor old Fred. What hasn't happened to him? Broken radius, tuberculosis,
0:10:54 > 0:10:55a near fatal loss of stuffing.
0:10:55 > 0:10:59Yeah. We did well to bring him back from that one.
0:10:59 > 0:11:00My first cottonwoolectomy.
0:11:04 > 0:11:08I gave you that, hoping you'd use it on a real patient one day.
0:11:10 > 0:11:13You've always been honest about my condition.
0:11:13 > 0:11:15I knew you could handle it.
0:11:15 > 0:11:18Because I've always known I've been on borrowed time,
0:11:18 > 0:11:21- I've never wasted a single day.- No.
0:11:22 > 0:11:25So, Molly, what's happening?
0:11:27 > 0:11:31How do you know... if you're a good dad?
0:11:32 > 0:11:34Oh, the million-dollar question!
0:11:34 > 0:11:37Er... Well, I suppose you don't know.
0:11:37 > 0:11:40Not until you see how your kids turn out.
0:11:40 > 0:11:43And yours turned out perfect, I suppose?
0:11:43 > 0:11:48- Are you kidding? Shoplifting, steroid addiction.- What?
0:11:48 > 0:11:51The previous house was sort of turned into a...a knocking shop.
0:11:51 > 0:11:53Your son was a Quadzilla shoplifting pimp?
0:11:53 > 0:11:55Well, the shoplifting - that was down to Immie.
0:11:55 > 0:11:57But, yeah, he had his wild moments.
0:11:59 > 0:12:02But I suppose they both turned out all right in the end.
0:12:02 > 0:12:04Mm. I'm going to do whatever it takes.
0:12:04 > 0:12:06Whatever Darcy needs, she'll have.
0:12:07 > 0:12:10You can dress her in all the designer clobber you want,
0:12:10 > 0:12:13you can send her to the best schools in the world, but -
0:12:13 > 0:12:16and I think you know what I'm going to say here -
0:12:16 > 0:12:20the most important thing you can give her costs nothing at all.
0:12:20 > 0:12:21HE SMIRKS
0:12:21 > 0:12:23Well, that's good, cos I ain't got much else!
0:12:25 > 0:12:27They're coming back.
0:12:27 > 0:12:29Well, if anyone can reassure her, it'll be Heston.
0:12:29 > 0:12:30How can you be so calm?
0:12:30 > 0:12:34I'm not calm when our daughter's about to have her chest cut open.
0:12:34 > 0:12:36So how's it going to help if we all lose it?
0:12:38 > 0:12:42Come in. Catch a cold and they'll cancel everything.
0:12:45 > 0:12:49Now, look. We know you're scared.
0:12:49 > 0:12:52But we're going to be there, every step of the way.
0:12:52 > 0:12:55- There's something I need to tell you.- OK.
0:12:55 > 0:12:58OK, well, we can talk about that in the car. Ian, bag.
0:12:58 > 0:13:00Right. Let's go.
0:13:02 > 0:13:05Molly, please! This is no time for playing games.
0:13:05 > 0:13:06You need to hear her out.
0:13:08 > 0:13:10OK. We're listening.
0:13:10 > 0:13:13There are never enough hearts for transplant.
0:13:13 > 0:13:16That's why you've been so lucky.
0:13:16 > 0:13:19Not enough people register to donate. I know it's tragic, but...
0:13:19 > 0:13:22That's why I want this heart to go to someone else.
0:13:23 > 0:13:25What?
0:13:25 > 0:13:31Someone with a better chance at a full life.
0:13:32 > 0:13:34Sweetie, you can't mean it.
0:13:35 > 0:13:39Heston, tell her. This is our last hope.
0:13:39 > 0:13:40She knows that.
0:13:41 > 0:13:47Mum, Dad, I'm sorry, but you have to let me go.
0:13:50 > 0:13:53I could have sworn...
0:13:53 > 0:13:55Yes! I knew...I knew it was somewhere.
0:13:57 > 0:13:59Oh, look at that, the batteries work. What a bonus!
0:13:59 > 0:14:00I can pay for my own kid.
0:14:01 > 0:14:03Oh, don't you worry about that.
0:14:03 > 0:14:06There are plenty of things that will empty your wallet.
0:14:06 > 0:14:09They grow out of clothes in a blink of an eye.
0:14:09 > 0:14:12And that's before mentioning the milk or the wet...
0:14:12 > 0:14:13Why do they need so many wet wipes?
0:14:16 > 0:14:17When I've finished my exams,
0:14:17 > 0:14:19I'm thinking of getting an apprenticeship.
0:14:19 > 0:14:21Well, you did very well with the cot. How about construction?
0:14:21 > 0:14:24- Or carpentry?- Electrician, maybe.
0:14:25 > 0:14:27I know a lot of people. I can have a word, if you want.
0:14:27 > 0:14:29- You'd do that?- Course I would.
0:14:29 > 0:14:31We don't want Darcy to run out of rusks, do we?
0:14:31 > 0:14:33Thanks, Mr Hollins.
0:14:33 > 0:14:37- Mr Hollins? Whoa, whoa, whoa!- What?
0:14:37 > 0:14:41We have just been through the time-honoured male bonding tradition
0:14:41 > 0:14:43of putting up flat-pack furniture.
0:14:43 > 0:14:45I think you can call me Rob now.
0:14:47 > 0:14:48It seems stupid, planning for the future.
0:14:48 > 0:14:50If the trial doesn't go right...
0:14:50 > 0:14:52It will go right.
0:14:52 > 0:14:54Once the jury have heard the star witness,
0:14:54 > 0:14:58then you can concentrate on building a life for your family.
0:14:58 > 0:15:00I've known Zara for a very long time.

0:15:03 > 0:15:05I've got to take this. What?
0:15:07 > 0:15:09No. I can't.
0:15:10 > 0:15:12Listen, you don't understand.
0:15:15 > 0:15:16But...
0:15:18 > 0:15:19Yeah, yeah, OK.
0:15:23 > 0:15:27- Problem?- No. It's just my...mum, being Mum.
0:15:32 > 0:15:34I don't understand.
0:15:34 > 0:15:36Girls my age should be hanging out at the Bullring,
0:15:36 > 0:15:39not wired up to ECG machines.
0:15:39 > 0:15:43We've tried to give you as normal a life as possible.
0:15:43 > 0:15:46But even when I'm not in hospital,
0:15:46 > 0:15:48I can't have friends round or go to the cinema.
0:15:48 > 0:15:51Yeah, but to avoid compromising your immune system.
0:15:51 > 0:15:55Maybe we have been a little overprotective. We can change.
0:15:55 > 0:15:58But first, we need to get you to St Phil's.
0:15:58 > 0:15:59You're not listening.
0:15:59 > 0:16:03OK. Enough, Molly. Car, now!
0:16:03 > 0:16:04I'm not going!
0:16:04 > 0:16:06Love, you don't know what you're saying.
0:16:06 > 0:16:08I know more about my condition than you do.
0:16:08 > 0:16:10But you're only just 14.
0:16:10 > 0:16:11So?
0:16:12 > 0:16:17Children who've had years of medical treatment often mature very quickly.
0:16:17 > 0:16:22Yes, and sometimes children have to accept that their parents know what's best for them.
0:16:22 > 0:16:25It's my heart. Why can't I decide what's best for me?
0:16:27 > 0:16:29Moll! Molly!
0:16:29 > 0:16:31Let her go a minute.
0:16:31 > 0:16:32You knew she was planning this?
0:16:32 > 0:16:35I am as surprised by this as much as you are.
0:16:35 > 0:16:38But...she does make some valid points.
0:16:38 > 0:16:42Valid points? This isn't some college debate!
0:16:42 > 0:16:44It's our daughter's life.
0:16:44 > 0:16:47He's not a parent. He wouldn't understand.
0:16:47 > 0:16:49Look, I can only imagine what you're going through,
0:16:49 > 0:16:51but I do know one thing.
0:16:51 > 0:16:55If you don't listen to her, you'll never change her mind.
0:16:58 > 0:17:01Look at all this! Aren't you a lucky girl?
0:17:01 > 0:17:03OK, so you've got a changing mat.
0:17:03 > 0:17:07You've got all your bits and bobs, and, um, a cupboard for toys.
0:17:07 > 0:17:09Thanks, Karen.
0:17:09 > 0:17:11- And not forgetting... - A bed fit for a princess.
0:17:11 > 0:17:13Rounded corners, fixed sides.
0:17:13 > 0:17:17- I'll convert it into a toddler's bed when we're ready.- It's perfect.
0:17:17 > 0:17:18So, any problems?
0:17:18 > 0:17:21Problems? What, with Rob the Builder and his sidekick?
0:17:21 > 0:17:22Sidekick?
0:17:22 > 0:17:25It was all upside down and inside out until I took charge!
0:17:26 > 0:17:28Oh! Someone's dropped a bomb.
0:17:28 > 0:17:30Good job we've got plenty of nappies, then.
0:17:30 > 0:17:31Where are the wet wipes?
0:17:31 > 0:17:34- There we are.- I'll do it. - What?- Mm-hm.
0:17:34 > 0:17:37Um, you do know what you're letting yourself in for?
0:17:37 > 0:17:40Yep. I'm ready to get down and dirty.
0:17:42 > 0:17:44There you go.
0:17:44 > 0:17:48Oh. OK. Um, well, if you need us, we'll be downstairs.
0:17:54 > 0:17:55Sorry...
0:17:55 > 0:17:57Pre-op nerves. Perfectly natural.
0:17:57 > 0:17:59I'm not scared of operations.
0:17:59 > 0:18:01Someone died to give you a new life.
0:18:01 > 0:18:03Don't you think I know that?
0:18:03 > 0:18:06- But you're still willing to let their sacrifice go to waste? - Oh, come on, that's not fair.
0:18:06 > 0:18:10No, I'll tell you what's not fair, is having to watch my child
0:18:10 > 0:18:12go through years of agony, and now, finally, there's a chance
0:18:12 > 0:18:15she can live a normal life, and she wants to throw it away!
0:18:15 > 0:18:17Judith! Hear her out.
0:18:18 > 0:18:22A normal life - what's that? Taking pills every morning?
0:18:22 > 0:18:24Scans, injections?
0:18:24 > 0:18:28We've never had a family holiday.
0:18:28 > 0:18:31It's like I've been waiting all my life to live.
0:18:31 > 0:18:34And a transplant can help you to do that.
0:18:34 > 0:18:38If it only gives you a few more precious years, that's worth it.
0:18:38 > 0:18:41And a couple of months in a hospital bed if I'm too sick to come home?
0:18:41 > 0:18:43Why focus on the worst-case scenario?
0:18:43 > 0:18:46Even if I survive the operation,
0:18:46 > 0:18:49I'll be on immunosuppressant drugs forever.
0:18:49 > 0:18:54Possible side effects - diabetes, kidney problems, cancer.
0:18:54 > 0:18:59POSSIBLE side effects. You might never get another chance.
0:18:59 > 0:19:05I know I'll probably never be a mother, a wife, have a career.
0:19:05 > 0:19:09This is my chance to make a difference.
0:19:09 > 0:19:12So you want to save a stranger? Well, that's wonderful!
0:19:13 > 0:19:15What about us?
0:19:19 > 0:19:22Oh!
0:19:22 > 0:19:23Oh, stop it, will you?
0:19:25 > 0:19:27So, really, how did it go with Austin?
0:19:27 > 0:19:30Really? It was a bit tricky at first, you know.
0:19:30 > 0:19:34Teenage, moody stuff, but...it was really good.
0:19:34 > 0:19:38- OVER MONITOR: Oh, this is rank! - You volunteered!
0:19:38 > 0:19:41- Why is it that colour?- I don't know!
0:19:41 > 0:19:44It's florescent yellow! What the hell have you been feeding her?
0:19:44 > 0:19:46She been at the highlighter pens or something? THEY LAUGH
0:19:46 > 0:19:48- Shall we turn that off? - KAREN CHUCKLES
0:19:48 > 0:19:49MONITOR BEEPS
0:20:02 > 0:20:03You know I'd take her pain if I could.
0:20:03 > 0:20:05Yeah, but your check-ups are clear!
0:20:08 > 0:20:09You wish it was me?
0:20:11 > 0:20:13Well, so do I.
0:20:13 > 0:20:16If I could rip out my heart and give it to her, I would.
0:20:17 > 0:20:19Would that make you happy?
0:20:24 > 0:20:27We are solid and strong as a family.
0:20:27 > 0:20:29This whole experience has proved that.
0:20:29 > 0:20:31Agreed.
0:20:31 > 0:20:34Well, that's what I'm trying to prove. If I walk away, what kind of a...
0:20:34 > 0:20:37World will Joe grow up in?
0:20:37 > 0:20:39Exactly! You don't believe that?
0:20:39 > 0:20:41I believe in protecting my family.
0:20:41 > 0:20:43By locking up thugs like Braydon!
0:20:43 > 0:20:44And what if he gets off?
0:20:46 > 0:20:48- You think I won't be a convincing witness?- No.
0:20:48 > 0:20:51You'll do the best you can, but who knows what's in the mind of a jury?
0:20:51 > 0:20:53Who knows what they'll decide?
0:20:53 > 0:20:56And if it all does go wrong,
0:20:56 > 0:20:59Braydon could be back on the streets with his gang in no time.
0:20:59 > 0:21:02He wouldn't dare come after us again!
0:21:02 > 0:21:04Who knows what goes on inside the mind of a killer?
0:21:06 > 0:21:11And what if we get put into a long-term witness protection programme?
0:21:13 > 0:21:15That is not likely.
0:21:16 > 0:21:21Could we survive that? And how would it affect Joe?
0:21:21 > 0:21:23What is it with these stupid things?
0:21:25 > 0:21:27ZARA SOBS
0:21:27 > 0:21:29How are you feeling now?
0:21:29 > 0:21:30You see how hard it is?
0:21:30 > 0:21:32It's because they love you.
0:21:33 > 0:21:35I won't change my mind.
0:21:35 > 0:21:36We know.
0:21:36 > 0:21:37So you understand?
0:21:37 > 0:21:40Molly, we've only ever wanted what's best for you.
0:21:40 > 0:21:41But you're a child.
0:21:41 > 0:21:44And you can't legally make a decision like this.
0:21:44 > 0:21:47You can't drag me to St Phil's against my will.
0:21:47 > 0:21:51What would be the point? I know we've lost this heart.
0:21:51 > 0:21:54But next time, we'll use the courts.
0:21:54 > 0:21:56And they'll make sure that you have this operation.
0:21:56 > 0:21:58What?
0:21:58 > 0:22:00Can they do that?
0:22:00 > 0:22:03Technically, yes, but whether that's the best course of action...
0:22:03 > 0:22:05- I never agreed to that. - Oh, so you want her to die?
0:22:05 > 0:22:07Don't be ridiculous!
0:22:07 > 0:22:09But does she really need the extra stress of a court case?
0:22:09 > 0:22:10So you win the case,
0:22:10 > 0:22:13but in the process lose the relationship with your daughter?
0:22:13 > 0:22:15- He's right.- It's none of his business!
0:22:15 > 0:22:19I'm beginning to think he's half of the problem. I mean, who gives a five-year-old a stethoscope?
0:22:19 > 0:22:22- I cannot let you do this. - I am not giving you the choice!
0:22:22 > 0:22:24Like you didn't give Molly any say in whether
0:22:24 > 0:22:27she wanted to be born with a life-limiting condition!
0:22:27 > 0:22:28Stop it.
0:22:28 > 0:22:31I will not let some stranger decide what's best for our child!
0:22:31 > 0:22:33Stop fighting me and fight for your daughter!
0:22:33 > 0:22:34Stop it!
0:22:40 > 0:22:42You loved each other so much.
0:22:44 > 0:22:46- I spoiled everything.- No.
0:22:48 > 0:22:50How can that be your fault?
0:22:50 > 0:22:53You gave so much love to me, there's nothing left for each other.
0:22:55 > 0:22:56MOLLY SOBS
0:22:57 > 0:23:00If this is my last Christmas,
0:23:00 > 0:23:04I want to spend it being a normal kid
0:23:04 > 0:23:07with parents who remember they still love each other.
0:23:11 > 0:23:13But I shouldn't have to be holding your hand. I'm not on duty.
0:23:13 > 0:23:14Hold on. No, not in there!
0:23:15 > 0:23:19Dirty nappies and Karen's kitchen do not go together!
0:23:19 > 0:23:21- Sorry.- In the garage. There's a special bin.
0:23:21 > 0:23:23Sorry about that. What were you saying?
0:23:23 > 0:23:24HE CLEARS THROAT
0:23:24 > 0:23:25Oh, you are?
0:23:25 > 0:23:30You're going to audition for permanent traffic duty? All right.
0:23:30 > 0:23:31Well, I don't care about that, do I?
0:23:31 > 0:23:35Stanton wants it, so let's make sure it's done. Yes.
0:23:35 > 0:23:39Two officers on rota at Brindley, 24/7. Is that understood?
0:23:39 > 0:23:41Thank you. Thanks. Bye.
0:23:48 > 0:23:50Mum, Dad, say something.
0:23:54 > 0:23:55How did we get...
0:23:57 > 0:24:00..such a wonderful, brave daughter?
0:24:01 > 0:24:04I'll call the centre. I'll tell them we're not coming in.
0:24:04 > 0:24:05Thank you for understanding.
0:24:09 > 0:24:10I love you both so much.
0:24:18 > 0:24:21You're exhausted. You need to rest.
0:24:25 > 0:24:29Sorry, but...I do have one last favour.
0:24:30 > 0:24:31Of course.
0:24:34 > 0:24:36Will you look after them when I'm gone?
0:24:38 > 0:24:39Yes.
0:24:44 > 0:24:46I know how difficult that was.
0:24:46 > 0:24:48- Don't think you've won.- What?
0:24:50 > 0:24:52I know we've lost this heart.
0:24:52 > 0:24:54I won't throw away the next one.
0:24:54 > 0:24:57You still want to go to court?
0:24:57 > 0:24:59She is my only child.
0:25:00 > 0:25:04She could live for years with a transplant. Couldn't she, Heston?
0:25:04 > 0:25:06It's possible, yes.
0:25:06 > 0:25:08But that's not what Molly wants.
0:25:08 > 0:25:11Yes, it's selfish, but I want every hour,
0:25:11 > 0:25:14every extra minute I can get with her,
0:25:14 > 0:25:16even if she hates me for it.
0:25:22 > 0:25:24Oh! Snug as a bug.
0:25:24 > 0:25:25Hope she doesn't wake you in the night.
0:25:25 > 0:25:29No, it'll be great to have some life in the house again, won't it?
0:25:29 > 0:25:31You know I'd be here if I could.
0:25:31 > 0:25:32It's OK.
0:25:32 > 0:25:34- I want to help.- Don't worry.
0:25:34 > 0:25:36I expect you to be ready for your next nappy change.
0:25:36 > 0:25:39Hm, yeah, yeah. I'll be here.
0:25:39 > 0:25:41And next time, I'll bring a gas mask!
0:25:53 > 0:25:54He's just washing his hands.
0:25:55 > 0:26:00All that exercise has...created quite an appetite.
0:26:01 > 0:26:04I'm not hungry. Maybe you and Joe should go without me.
0:26:07 > 0:26:08Fine.
0:26:10 > 0:26:13I didn't ask for any of this.
0:26:15 > 0:26:19All I did was be in the wrong place at the wrong time.
0:26:21 > 0:26:24And there was no way you were going to run away, is there? Because...
0:26:25 > 0:26:29..standing up for the stranger on the street is what you're about.
0:26:32 > 0:26:33Stubborn.
0:26:35 > 0:26:36Infuriating.
0:26:40 > 0:26:43And only the bravest bloody woman I have ever met.
0:26:45 > 0:26:48I'm sorry that you feel that I haven't been there for you.
0:26:49 > 0:26:51But I am now. OK?
0:26:55 > 0:26:57I can't do this without you.
0:26:57 > 0:27:00You don't have to. You don't have to.
0:27:07 > 0:27:08OK?
0:27:18 > 0:27:19So, which one's Kitty?
0:27:19 > 0:27:20We both are.
0:27:20 > 0:27:23So...I've had a little bit of an idea.
0:27:23 > 0:27:26Well, it was actually Aesh's idea.
0:27:26 > 0:27:27What idea?
0:27:27 > 0:27:30We're stronger if we stick together. Why are you pushing us away?
0:27:30 > 0:27:33It is not helping with you constantly jabbing at me, Daniel!
0:27:33 > 0:27:36Do I look like the sort of person who just throws their purse around?
0:27:36 > 0:27:37I swear.
0:27:37 > 0:27:39- It was me.- What?
0:27:39 > 0:27:40What?
