0:00:25 > 0:00:26Please, after you.
0:00:27 > 0:00:30- Can I watch the telly? - Erm, no.
0:00:30 > 0:00:32TURNS TELEVISION ON
0:00:34 > 0:00:37- Can I have something to eat? - You can have a biscuit.
0:00:37 > 0:00:39Just one!
0:00:39 > 0:00:41- He's quite a handful.- Mm.
0:00:41 > 0:00:43Why don't you sit down?
0:00:43 > 0:00:46Do you want me to look at your ankle before we get started?
0:00:46 > 0:00:48No.
0:00:48 > 0:00:51I should give it more rest, but it's getting better slowly.
0:00:52 > 0:00:55- What are you doing?- Testing your grandad's blood sugar levels.
0:00:55 > 0:00:58- What's that?- Rufus! - Why don't you just watch?
0:00:58 > 0:01:01- Have you got injections? - Yes, and they're very sharp.
0:01:03 > 0:01:05There you go.
0:01:06 > 0:01:08Black coffee?
0:01:08 > 0:01:09Oh, dear.
0:01:09 > 0:01:11There she is.
0:01:11 > 0:01:13Erm, Dr Haskey, Dr Reid.
0:01:13 > 0:01:16Mrs Tembe, about the temporary Practice Manager...
0:01:16 > 0:01:20Dr Carmichael, I just need to have a word with them.
0:01:20 > 0:01:22Are you fully prepared?
0:01:22 > 0:01:24- Yes.- Ish.
0:01:24 > 0:01:27You need to establish the facts.
0:01:27 > 0:01:29- Gather the evidence.- Precisely.
0:01:29 > 0:01:32Are we being a little harsh here? This is Ruhma we're talking about.
0:01:32 > 0:01:35You cannot let your emotions get the better of you.
0:01:35 > 0:01:39I am relying on you both to stay calm, detached and professional.
0:01:39 > 0:01:43- Are you sure you've got the right people here?- Speak for yourself.
0:01:43 > 0:01:44I have...
0:01:44 > 0:01:46full faith in...
0:01:46 > 0:01:47in you.
0:01:59 > 0:02:01Oh, thanks.
0:02:07 > 0:02:08GADGET BEEPS
0:02:08 > 0:02:105.8. Seems OK.
0:02:11 > 0:02:15- No school today?- Grandad said I don't have to go.- Really?
0:02:18 > 0:02:21Well, I knew that you were coming this morning
0:02:21 > 0:02:24and, erm, I thought that while you were here...
0:02:26 > 0:02:28I'm here to monitor your diabetes.
0:02:28 > 0:02:30Yes, I know,
0:02:30 > 0:02:33but, I thought, if you saw him...
0:02:33 > 0:02:35What he's like.
0:02:40 > 0:02:43You could give me a professional opinion.
0:02:44 > 0:02:48She's flying off to Botswana and leaving us in the hands of a complete stranger.
0:02:48 > 0:02:50I'm sure she has everything under control.
0:02:50 > 0:02:53Caffeine won't do anything for your anxiety levels.
0:02:53 > 0:02:56Oh, I was just telling Valerie that, erm...
0:02:56 > 0:03:00Dry January had taken a bit of a beating last night.
0:03:00 > 0:03:04- Less than halfway through the month. - Two full weeks, I'll have you know.
0:03:04 > 0:03:07And four days more than someone I could mention.
0:03:07 > 0:03:08Daniel!
0:03:08 > 0:03:11- Afraid so.- In his defence... - My defence?
0:03:11 > 0:03:14It's the most stupid idea I've ever heard of. Dry January!
0:03:14 > 0:03:17The coldest, wettest month of the year
0:03:17 > 0:03:20just when you really need a glass of red wine in your hand.
0:03:20 > 0:03:24- And, anyway, it's such a cliche. - Well, I've never felt so cleansed.
0:03:24 > 0:03:26And alive!
0:03:26 > 0:03:29- Good for you.- No, honestly, this January has sparkled.
0:03:29 > 0:03:31Course, it wasn't easy at first.
0:03:31 > 0:03:34No alcohol, no processed foods, no stimulants of any kind,
0:03:34 > 0:03:35including coffee.
0:03:35 > 0:03:39- We can't all be as good as you, Valerie.- Well, no, obviously not.
0:03:39 > 0:03:42Do you know, I have read that cutting out stimulants
0:03:42 > 0:03:44from your diet can have enormous advantages.
0:03:44 > 0:03:46- Really?- Mm.
0:03:46 > 0:03:48Increased libido.
0:03:48 > 0:03:52- I hardly think so.- Yeah. Improved concentration, better sleep,
0:03:52 > 0:03:55and it sets an excellent example to your children.
0:03:55 > 0:03:58And there was I thinking that clean eating and going teetotal
0:03:58 > 0:04:01just made you miserable and even more boring.
0:04:03 > 0:04:06You threatened to take away her caffeine.
0:04:11 > 0:04:13Rufus!
0:04:13 > 0:04:16- You see what I mean? - There's nothing I can do, Douglas.
0:04:16 > 0:04:20It's too much. He's my grandson and I love him...
0:04:20 > 0:04:23Talk to your daughter. If you're really that worried,
0:04:23 > 0:04:25- get her to bring him in. - Just look at him.
0:04:25 > 0:04:28He's a boy, he's meant to be boisterous,
0:04:28 > 0:04:30but he never stops, he never listens,
0:04:30 > 0:04:32he won't sit still for more than five minutes
0:04:32 > 0:04:35even if I put him in front of the television.
0:04:35 > 0:04:39- Rufus, stop doing that. Come here, please.- I'm busy.
0:04:40 > 0:04:41I said, come here!
0:04:43 > 0:04:45Maybe it's me. I'm getting old.
0:04:45 > 0:04:48Diabetes and a broken ankle. It's difficult to cope.
0:04:50 > 0:04:52And things are done differently nowadays.
0:04:52 > 0:04:55Standards of behaviour are not what they were.
0:04:55 > 0:04:59All I'm asking for is a preliminary opinion.
0:04:59 > 0:05:01Is there something wrong with him?
0:05:01 > 0:05:03Mum.
0:05:03 > 0:05:06- What's happened? Are you all right? Are you hurt?- No, no, he's fine.
0:05:06 > 0:05:09- What's going on? Why isn't he at school?- Becky...
0:05:09 > 0:05:12- What is she doing here?- She's measuring Grandad's sugar levels.
0:05:12 > 0:05:17- She was looking at you.- She was just examining him.- No, I'm not.
0:05:17 > 0:05:21- You can't examine my son without my permission.- I haven't. I'm not.
0:05:21 > 0:05:24Well, who invited you?
0:05:24 > 0:05:27You brought her here to look at Rufus without asking me,
0:05:27 > 0:05:29without my permission?
0:05:32 > 0:05:34She's late.
0:05:34 > 0:05:38- No, no, no. This is full of holes. - What do you mean?
0:05:38 > 0:05:40Her story doesn't hold up.
0:05:40 > 0:05:42All right, let's not pre-empt anything.
0:05:42 > 0:05:44It resembles a sieve.
0:05:44 > 0:05:47It's the partners who should be doing this, not us.
0:05:47 > 0:05:51Well, that's not going to happen. Tembe and Ruhma, they're friends.
0:05:51 > 0:05:55She doesn't want to do the dirty on her. She's left it to us.
0:05:55 > 0:05:58We've got to sort something out and then take the flak.
0:05:58 > 0:06:01And all this stuff about how, ooh, she trusts us,
0:06:01 > 0:06:04she wants us to feel part of the team.
0:06:04 > 0:06:07That is just prime grade management malarkey.
0:06:07 > 0:06:11She's playing us because she wants me to shut up and stop complaining about the extended hours.
0:06:11 > 0:06:14I'm not going to shut up or stop complaining.
0:06:14 > 0:06:16If I could just get a word in edgeways?
0:06:16 > 0:06:19Tell me, what's it like living in such a miserable world?
0:06:19 > 0:06:22Because maybe, just maybe,
0:06:22 > 0:06:26Mrs Tembe has asked us to do this because of our sense of...
0:06:26 > 0:06:27rationale or compassion?
0:06:27 > 0:06:29Oh, right.
0:06:29 > 0:06:31And that's your rationale and my compassion is it?
0:06:32 > 0:06:34Shut up.
0:06:35 > 0:06:37I'll sort this out.
0:06:42 > 0:06:47She was coming here today anyway. My diabetes examination.
0:06:47 > 0:06:49- I just thought...- Is he ill?
0:06:50 > 0:06:52- I don't know. - Why would you do this?
0:06:52 > 0:06:55- What do you think is wrong with him? - He's out of control.
0:06:55 > 0:06:58Only because you let him get the upper hand.
0:06:58 > 0:07:01- What do you expect me to do, beat him?- All right, let's calm down.
0:07:01 > 0:07:04You have no say in this house.
0:07:04 > 0:07:08You examined my son in my absence without my consent.
0:07:08 > 0:07:11You walk out that door now or this becomes a legal matter.
0:07:11 > 0:07:14I came to examine Mr Harper and I haven't touched your son.
0:07:14 > 0:07:18- Get out!- It's not her fault. I asked her to examine him.
0:07:18 > 0:07:20Fine. You can go too.
0:07:20 > 0:07:22Go on, get out, both of you!
0:07:23 > 0:07:26- Is it possible she's fled the country?- No.
0:07:26 > 0:07:29But it is possible she doesn't want to have to do this.
0:07:29 > 0:07:31I don't want to have to do this, yet here I am.
0:07:31 > 0:07:35- We're not all as dependable as you, Al.- Ain't that the sad truth?
0:07:37 > 0:07:40Oh. You look how I feel.
0:07:43 > 0:07:45Aspirin?
0:07:46 > 0:07:47Thank you.
0:07:50 > 0:07:51Don't tell Valerie.
0:07:51 > 0:07:53She means well.
0:07:53 > 0:07:55Doesn't she just?
0:07:55 > 0:07:59So, look, that business with Mrs Tembe.
0:07:59 > 0:08:01- Are you worried?- Concerned.
0:08:01 > 0:08:04She says she's sorted someone to cover her absence
0:08:04 > 0:08:06but she won't tell me who.
0:08:06 > 0:08:09I thought we'd agreed it was her decision who she appoints.
0:08:09 > 0:08:10I didn't agree.
0:08:10 > 0:08:13And what if she hasn't actually found someone?
0:08:13 > 0:08:17If the worst comes to the worst, Karen and Valerie can hold the fort.
0:08:17 > 0:08:18Gobby and Chirpy?!
0:08:19 > 0:08:21It won't come to that.
0:08:22 > 0:08:24All done.
0:08:24 > 0:08:25Thank you.
0:08:25 > 0:08:27How are you feeling?
0:08:27 > 0:08:29Stressed.
0:08:29 > 0:08:31I meant the diabetes.
0:08:31 > 0:08:35Well, I'd rather not have it, but it's under control.
0:08:35 > 0:08:37And the stress?
0:08:37 > 0:08:38Huh.
0:08:38 > 0:08:42We're doing these checks in your car, in my daughter's drive.
0:08:43 > 0:08:46I think she'll probably let you back in.
0:08:46 > 0:08:49You can sort of understand why she's annoyed.
0:08:49 > 0:08:51She wasn't meant to come home.
0:08:51 > 0:08:52That's not an excuse.
0:08:52 > 0:08:56- You went behind her back. - But she won't talk about it.
0:08:56 > 0:08:58I'm sorry I dragged you into all this.
0:08:58 > 0:09:01Do you want some help getting back on your feet?
0:09:02 > 0:09:05Do you think we could leave it a minute or two?
0:09:05 > 0:09:09She normally takes a few moments to calm down.
0:09:10 > 0:09:11Sure.
0:09:19 > 0:09:21Come in.
0:09:21 > 0:09:24Hi, Ruhma. Come in, take a seat.
0:09:25 > 0:09:28- I'm sorry that I'm a bit late. - Not at all.- A bit?!
0:09:29 > 0:09:33Anyway, can I get you anything? A glass of water?
0:09:33 > 0:09:36No, I'm fine. Can we just get on with it, please?
0:09:36 > 0:09:38Yeah, of course.
0:09:38 > 0:09:41Right... Well, first things first,
0:09:41 > 0:09:45this isn't a formal panel, all right?
0:09:45 > 0:09:48The partners have asked me and Al to go through with you
0:09:48 > 0:09:52what has happened and then to try and find the best way forward
0:09:52 > 0:09:53for everyone concerned.
0:09:53 > 0:09:57- Sounds like I need a lawyer. - No. No, not at all.
0:09:57 > 0:10:00Well, unless she wants a lawyer or a union rep?
0:10:00 > 0:10:03It's your call. Totally up to you.
0:10:03 > 0:10:05Can I make a statement?
0:10:05 > 0:10:07Right, OK,
0:10:07 > 0:10:11- but, as I said, this is not a formal process.- Fine.
0:10:13 > 0:10:16The women that I have been helping, have helped,
0:10:16 > 0:10:18are in this country illegally.
0:10:18 > 0:10:22I first became aware of their situation, their existence even,
0:10:22 > 0:10:26through a mum-to-be who was concerned about their welfare.
0:10:27 > 0:10:32I have no regrets about the actions I took and I would do it again.
0:10:33 > 0:10:35I've seen what happens to these women
0:10:35 > 0:10:37when they are found out by the authorities.
0:10:37 > 0:10:40And I have no intention of giving you any further details
0:10:40 > 0:10:43about the women or my activities.
0:10:43 > 0:10:47And if you expect me to name any names
0:10:47 > 0:10:50or sell these women down the river, then I will get up right now
0:10:50 > 0:10:54and I will walk out of that door and I will keep going.
0:10:55 > 0:10:59I should be at work. I only came back because I left some papers here this morning.
0:10:59 > 0:11:01That was silly!
0:11:01 > 0:11:05Well, actually, you were making such a fuss about your games kit
0:11:05 > 0:11:08and not eating your breakfast, and Grandad wasn't any help,
0:11:08 > 0:11:11and I had too many things on my mind and I just forgot, OK?!
0:11:11 > 0:11:14- You mustn't shout.- And you don't get to tell me what to do!
0:11:15 > 0:11:18- TURNS TELEVISION ON - Turn that off.
0:11:19 > 0:11:20Rufus!
0:11:20 > 0:11:22- TV:- Do you think you know?
0:11:22 > 0:11:24Pip says...
0:11:35 > 0:11:37No screens in your room.
0:11:37 > 0:11:38Rufus!
0:11:38 > 0:11:41No screens in your room!
0:11:45 > 0:11:49Ruhma, look, I think we both know where you're coming from,
0:11:49 > 0:11:53and it's perfectly understandable
0:11:53 > 0:11:57that you've clearly formed a connection with these patients
0:11:57 > 0:12:01and it's commendable just how much you've gone out of your way
0:12:01 > 0:12:02to help them.
0:12:03 > 0:12:08But we have to deal with the legal and professional issues,
0:12:08 > 0:12:11so, without compromising your position,
0:12:11 > 0:12:15can you explain a little more about how you came to be
0:12:15 > 0:12:16in this situation?
0:12:19 > 0:12:21- Can I come in?- Where's Dad?
0:12:21 > 0:12:23In the car.
0:12:23 > 0:12:27Best leave him there a bit. Give him a chance to calm down.
0:12:27 > 0:12:30That's what he said, more or less.
0:12:36 > 0:12:40I looked very carefully at your chain of events.
0:12:40 > 0:12:42Ruhma, it's...it's full of holes.
0:12:42 > 0:12:45- Al...- Great gaping holes.
0:12:45 > 0:12:47Specifically involving Besa.
0:12:47 > 0:12:51You see, I don't believe that she got the treatment she did
0:12:51 > 0:12:53on a dodgy NHS number.
0:12:53 > 0:12:57We all know that's not how it works. The system has too many checks.
0:12:57 > 0:13:00And that led me to the conclusion that the NHS number
0:13:00 > 0:13:03was in fact legitimate, it just wasn't hers.
0:13:03 > 0:13:06So, the question for you is,
0:13:06 > 0:13:10why did you give her treatment on that number?
0:13:10 > 0:13:13You're not the kind of person who would do that.
0:13:13 > 0:13:16You're not the kind of person who would know how to do that.
0:13:16 > 0:13:20My hypothesis is that someone else helped you get that number.
0:13:20 > 0:13:22Al, this is not an interrogation.
0:13:22 > 0:13:25There's someone else involved, isn't there?
0:13:26 > 0:13:29You think that I couldn't do this on my own?
0:13:29 > 0:13:33No, I don't. No offence, but there's clearly a conspiracy here.
0:13:33 > 0:13:36The question is how wide it goes.
0:13:37 > 0:13:40It was me. There's no conspiracy, Al.
0:13:41 > 0:13:45There's no need to look for anyone else because it was just me.
0:13:46 > 0:13:49I did not examine your son. That's not why I'm here.
0:13:49 > 0:13:52I would never do that without your permission.
0:13:52 > 0:13:54- Dad set the whole thing up. - He's just worried.
0:13:54 > 0:13:57- He's always worrying. - Well, maybe for good reason.
0:13:57 > 0:14:01- Like what?- I don't know, you tell me, but something's not working.
0:14:01 > 0:14:04You've just kicked out an old man who's got a broken ankle
0:14:04 > 0:14:09- and your son skipped school today because your dad thinks he's got ADHD.- Attention deficit?
0:14:09 > 0:14:13- That's why he asked me to examine him.- I had no...
0:14:13 > 0:14:16- Do you think that's why...? - Can we talk about your dad?
0:14:16 > 0:14:20That would explain everything, really. I thought it was just me.
0:14:20 > 0:14:24You know, too busy to cope, no father figure, no discipline.
0:14:24 > 0:14:26That's why I asked Dad to live with us.
0:14:26 > 0:14:29But if it's all just biochemical...
0:14:29 > 0:14:32We don't know what it is, if it's anything at all.
0:14:32 > 0:14:35But there are drugs, aren't there? Not the zombie ones.
0:14:35 > 0:14:38But the stuff to balance out what's going on in his brain,
0:14:38 > 0:14:40get everything back to normal.
0:14:41 > 0:14:43I want you to look at him.
0:14:43 > 0:14:46We'll get him on a sensible, balanced regime.
0:14:46 > 0:14:49I'll call him, and then I really must get back to work.
0:14:52 > 0:14:55- What difference does it make? - Oh, fine, I'll say it again.
0:14:55 > 0:14:59If she acted alone, then this is a "rogue midwife" scenario
0:14:59 > 0:15:02and The Mill is off the hook, but if someone else did help her
0:15:02 > 0:15:05and they were in and of this building, then we are all doomed.
0:15:05 > 0:15:09Don't be ridiculous! The Mill can't be held responsible for the actions of one midwife.
0:15:09 > 0:15:12- One midwife plus the person who helped her.- All right, enough.
0:15:12 > 0:15:15This isn't about me or the practice...
0:15:15 > 0:15:18This is about you and it is about the practice!
0:15:18 > 0:15:21Al, why can't you just understand why we need to help these women?
0:15:21 > 0:15:23Heaven help the NHS if you can't see that.
0:15:23 > 0:15:26- That's not what we're saying. - Yes, it is!
0:15:26 > 0:15:30You're more worried about the process, liabilities and your jobs.
0:15:30 > 0:15:34I give up. You know, I'm done. No, we are done,
0:15:34 > 0:15:37- OK, because I resign.- What? - I can't do this any more.
0:15:37 > 0:15:40I want to be somewhere where I can achieve something.
0:15:45 > 0:15:47- KNOCK ON DOOR - Come in.
0:15:48 > 0:15:52- Ah, Dr Granger.- Mrs Tembe.
0:15:53 > 0:15:56I know that we said that we would leave you to it
0:15:56 > 0:15:58but we were wondering...
0:15:58 > 0:16:01Well, I was wondering whether you needed any assistance
0:16:01 > 0:16:03in finding someone for while you're away.
0:16:03 > 0:16:07Well, that is very kind of you, Dr Granger,
0:16:07 > 0:16:09but I have everything under control.
0:16:09 > 0:16:11We have an excellent candidate
0:16:11 > 0:16:14who is willing and able to take the reins.
0:16:14 > 0:16:16That's what I said.
0:16:18 > 0:16:19Is there anything else?
0:16:19 > 0:16:21Who is it?
0:16:22 > 0:16:25- What? My replacement?- Yeah.
0:16:26 > 0:16:30Regrettably, I cannot tell you or Dr Carmichael
0:16:30 > 0:16:33until certain formalities have been completed.
0:16:33 > 0:16:36I would not want to tell you a name and then have to disappoint you.
0:16:36 > 0:16:38But there is a name?
0:16:38 > 0:16:41Oh, yes, there is a name.
0:16:46 > 0:16:47OK.
0:16:53 > 0:16:55He'll be down in a minute.
0:16:56 > 0:16:58He moves things around.
0:16:59 > 0:17:01I've got a case conference this afternoon
0:17:01 > 0:17:04- and the papers should be here. - I'm not sure Rufus is the problem.
0:17:04 > 0:17:07Not all of it, anyway.
0:17:07 > 0:17:09He might have ADHD or he might not.
0:17:09 > 0:17:12I'm not an expert, I have no special training.
0:17:12 > 0:17:15But, to me, he just looks like an ordinary 11-year-old boy.
0:17:15 > 0:17:18- He's not ordinary.- OK, but before we go down the medical route with Rufus,
0:17:18 > 0:17:22could we just have a chat about how things are at home generally?
0:17:22 > 0:17:24It's not my fault.
0:17:24 > 0:17:27- I'm not blaming anyone. - Do you have any idea?
0:17:28 > 0:17:31I'm trying to hold down a serious job
0:17:31 > 0:17:34and I've got Rufus on my back constantly,
0:17:34 > 0:17:38demanding this, demanding that, just demanding all the time.
0:17:38 > 0:17:41And Dad hobbling about the house, no use to anyone.
0:17:41 > 0:17:43He can't get Rufus to school in the morning.
0:17:43 > 0:17:47Look at the state of the place. He hasn't even put the breakfast things in the dishwasher.
0:17:47 > 0:17:50He is getting on a bit. And his ankle.
0:17:50 > 0:17:52Yeah, yeah, his ankle. There's always something.
0:17:52 > 0:17:56He is not a child-minder or your housemaid!
0:17:56 > 0:17:58Do you know how hard it is to be a single mum?
0:17:58 > 0:18:02I know loads of single mums, mums who really struggle,
0:18:02 > 0:18:04and they don't moan half as much as you.
0:18:06 > 0:18:09- Ruhma, you can't just leave. - It's not a formal panel.
0:18:09 > 0:18:12I don't mean now, I mean you can't resign.
0:18:12 > 0:18:14You're an experienced, trained midwife.
0:18:14 > 0:18:16You can't just walk away from that.
0:18:16 > 0:18:18I know what I need to do and I can't do it here.
0:18:18 > 0:18:22Are you going to forget about your patients here and all your training?
0:18:22 > 0:18:24Do you ever listen to anyone other than yourself?
0:18:24 > 0:18:28- Not when they're talking as much nonsense as you are.- All right!
0:18:28 > 0:18:31That's enough! Enough, both of you!
0:18:35 > 0:18:36Come on, Ruhma.
0:18:37 > 0:18:40You're really going to give up your whole career?
0:18:40 > 0:18:42Apparently she is, because that's what...
0:18:42 > 0:18:44Not helping, Al!
0:18:44 > 0:18:46She's a really talented, experienced midwife,
0:18:46 > 0:18:50and she's going to use this as an excuse just to walk away.
0:18:50 > 0:18:51You know what it is?
0:18:51 > 0:18:54It's a betrayal. That's the word, isn't it?
0:18:54 > 0:18:57A betrayal of everything that you believe in.
0:18:57 > 0:19:00Everything that, coincidently, we also believe in!
0:19:00 > 0:19:04All right, that's not the language that I would have used,
0:19:04 > 0:19:06but he's got a point.
0:19:08 > 0:19:10Ruhma, I don't think that you've thought this through.
0:19:10 > 0:19:14And I don't think you have even listened to a word that I've said,
0:19:14 > 0:19:16- either of you. - I just don't understand.
0:19:16 > 0:19:19The passion that you have for your work, the joy you get from it.
0:19:19 > 0:19:22There's a national shortage of midwives, you know that?
0:19:22 > 0:19:24- Think of all the unborn babies. - OK, listen up, Al.
0:19:24 > 0:19:27All I've said is I'm not going to be able to work here.
0:19:27 > 0:19:29I'm not going to stop being a midwife.
0:19:29 > 0:19:32I'm going to be a midwife somewhere where they need me most.
0:19:32 > 0:19:35Whether it's a charity or working directly with these women.
0:19:35 > 0:19:40Have you got any moral objections to that, Dr Al Haskey?
0:19:43 > 0:19:44Get out.
0:19:44 > 0:19:46Oh.
0:19:46 > 0:19:48Do you know what she just said to me?
0:19:48 > 0:19:51No, but it was probably half of what you deserve.
0:19:51 > 0:19:55I love you, Becky, and I am so proud of what you've achieved.
0:19:55 > 0:19:57I love my grandson to bits,
0:19:57 > 0:20:00even when he's being a right pain in the backside.
0:20:00 > 0:20:04But we can't go on like this. The situation is intolerable.
0:20:04 > 0:20:08The next time you show me or my friends the door,
0:20:08 > 0:20:10I will walk away.
0:20:13 > 0:20:16KNOCK ON DOOR Come in.
0:20:19 > 0:20:20Benjamin Galadima.
0:20:20 > 0:20:22Who?
0:20:22 > 0:20:25Benjamin Galadima.
0:20:26 > 0:20:30He will be the temporary Practice Manager while I am away.
0:20:31 > 0:20:34- Do I know him? - No, I do not think so.
0:20:34 > 0:20:40I have been mentoring him as part of an NHS management scheme.
0:20:40 > 0:20:43He's quite young, but we are very fortunate to get him.
0:20:43 > 0:20:47- And the secrecy? - Oh, no secrecy, Dr Carmichael.
0:20:47 > 0:20:50He has only just confirmed his availability.
0:20:50 > 0:20:52Of course.
0:20:52 > 0:20:56And if I or one of the other partners considered him to be
0:20:56 > 0:21:00a little too young or inexperienced for this level of responsibility...
0:21:00 > 0:21:02I'm afraid it is probably too late
0:21:02 > 0:21:05to get somebody else at such short notice.
0:21:05 > 0:21:07Well, it is now!
0:21:07 > 0:21:09How fortunate, then,
0:21:09 > 0:21:13that Mr Galadima is such a fine candidate.
0:21:13 > 0:21:18Look, I am confident that you will barely notice that I have gone away.
0:21:20 > 0:21:23You overstepped your authority.
0:21:23 > 0:21:26How dare you seek to procure a medical opinion on my son?
0:21:26 > 0:21:28You put me in loco parentis.
0:21:28 > 0:21:32Under no circumstances would I put you in loco parentis.
0:21:32 > 0:21:33In absentia.
0:21:33 > 0:21:36Oh, for goodness' sake, you sound like a pair of lawyers!
0:21:36 > 0:21:39Right. I might have guessed.
0:21:39 > 0:21:42So lawyers are supposed to be smart, aren't they?
0:21:42 > 0:21:43And logical.
0:21:43 > 0:21:47I think "objective" might be the word you're looking for.
0:21:47 > 0:21:48Exactly.
0:21:48 > 0:21:51So, Becky, you've got this client.
0:21:51 > 0:21:55She's hard-working, a single mum, and she's got a boy who's a bit...
0:21:55 > 0:21:57- Boisterous?- That's the one.
0:21:58 > 0:22:01What objective advice would you give to her?
0:22:01 > 0:22:03How should she deal with her boy?
0:22:03 > 0:22:06He's going to be a teenager soon so she needs to deal with it now,
0:22:06 > 0:22:08otherwise it's just going to get worse.
0:22:08 > 0:22:11She should get the boy a medical appointment.
0:22:11 > 0:22:13Maybe.
0:22:13 > 0:22:15She could take him to see a doctor,
0:22:15 > 0:22:18get him an initial assessment for ADHD or something.
0:22:18 > 0:22:21But it's more than that.
0:22:21 > 0:22:23- Before that. - All right, I get the point.
0:22:23 > 0:22:25No, say it.
0:22:26 > 0:22:29She should talk to him...
0:22:29 > 0:22:31find time for him.
0:22:31 > 0:22:33That's what I'd recommend.
0:22:33 > 0:22:36- And what about her dad? - He's, erm...
0:22:38 > 0:22:43Well, he probably finds the whole situation as stressful as she does.
0:22:44 > 0:22:45Yeah.
0:22:46 > 0:22:49She probably thought she was getting a live-in baby-sitter
0:22:49 > 0:22:51and a cleaner.
0:22:52 > 0:22:55And when the boy gets too much for her,
0:22:55 > 0:22:58she probably finds an excuse to stay late at the office
0:22:58 > 0:23:01and hopes that he's in bed when she gets home.
0:23:02 > 0:23:07When her dad tries to talk to her about it, she pretends not to hear,
0:23:07 > 0:23:10and when he asks someone for help, she kicks him out.
0:23:12 > 0:23:14She's a bit of a cow, really.
0:23:14 > 0:23:16I shall have some strong words with her.
0:23:21 > 0:23:23So, what are we going to do?
0:23:24 > 0:23:26Do you really want to leave?
0:23:26 > 0:23:29I just want to be useful.
0:23:31 > 0:23:34Do you think we can get Ruhma off the hook somehow?
0:23:36 > 0:23:39Well, we're here trying to gather the facts, aren't we?
0:23:39 > 0:23:41It's just that the facts aren't very helpful.
0:23:41 > 0:23:43Mm.
0:23:43 > 0:23:45All right.
0:23:45 > 0:23:47What if...
0:23:47 > 0:23:50- you go on the offensive? - What do you mean?
0:23:50 > 0:23:54You make a complaint right at the top about how badly asylum seekers
0:23:54 > 0:23:56who are pregnant are treated?
0:23:56 > 0:23:59I'm not really good at all that campaign stuff.
0:23:59 > 0:24:01I'm more on the ground sort of person.
0:24:01 > 0:24:05You've got to be more realistic. You cross this line again and they're going to take you out.
0:24:05 > 0:24:07OK.
0:24:07 > 0:24:08Erm...
0:24:09 > 0:24:15OK, how about if I work with women that have already been detained?
0:24:15 > 0:24:19So, I go to the detention centres, but I do it...
0:24:19 > 0:24:20officially?
0:24:25 > 0:24:27Well, it's a good suggestion.
0:24:28 > 0:24:31You could do that part time and then...
0:24:31 > 0:24:33- that way, you could stay with the practice.- Yeah.
0:24:35 > 0:24:39- Do you think the partners will go for it?- The partners would love it.
0:24:39 > 0:24:41We're accentuating the positive, aren't we?
0:24:42 > 0:24:47Whatever keeps you here, keeps you in midwifery, that's what I say.
0:24:47 > 0:24:50And that's what the powers-that-be should be saying too.
0:24:50 > 0:24:52Speaking of the powers-that-be,
0:24:52 > 0:24:55I'm afraid you should expect a slap on the wrists.
0:24:58 > 0:25:01Do you think they'd really agree to it?
0:25:01 > 0:25:03Maybe.
0:25:04 > 0:25:06It's worth a go.
0:25:08 > 0:25:10Thank you. Thank you, both of you. Thank you.
0:25:14 > 0:25:15Thank you.
0:25:16 > 0:25:19Thank you so much.
0:25:19 > 0:25:21Bye, Rufus.
0:25:22 > 0:25:23Have you cured Grandad?
0:25:23 > 0:25:25She's done wonders.
0:25:25 > 0:25:27I'm sorry.
0:25:28 > 0:25:30Have you considered a career in the law?
0:25:31 > 0:25:34You could wipe the floor with most counsels.
0:25:34 > 0:25:36- Thank you.- No problem.
0:25:36 > 0:25:38- Can I watch telly?- In a minute.
0:25:38 > 0:25:40Rufus.
0:25:40 > 0:25:43Work in progress on several fronts.
0:25:45 > 0:25:46Good luck.
0:25:49 > 0:25:52Has to be said, Emma, Mrs Tembe knew what she was doing
0:25:52 > 0:25:54when she roped you in for that.
0:25:54 > 0:25:57Well, you weren't so bad yourself with your forensic details.
0:25:57 > 0:25:59It's all been some kind of ruse.
0:25:59 > 0:26:01Mrs Tembe wants to get me on side. Well, she has failed.
0:26:01 > 0:26:05Well, maybe that's just the cynical world you live in, Dr Haskey.
0:26:05 > 0:26:07Meanwhile, back in the real world, Mrs Tembe -
0:26:07 > 0:26:10she can see right through you.
0:26:11 > 0:26:12Come in.
0:26:13 > 0:26:16- Lunch?- Yes, but come in and shut the door.
0:26:17 > 0:26:20Come over here and see this.
0:26:20 > 0:26:24This is Benjamin Galadima,
0:26:24 > 0:26:26Mrs Tembe's protege,
0:26:26 > 0:26:29and our new temporary Practice Manager.
0:26:29 > 0:26:31Seriously?! What school does he go to?
0:26:31 > 0:26:35That is not a school uniform, my friend. That is a cheap suit.
0:26:35 > 0:26:38- Are you sure it's him?- Oh, yes. I have been checking him out online.
0:26:38 > 0:26:41And it gets better. Do you want to know where he gets his
0:26:41 > 0:26:44- extensive management experience? - Yeah.- Groceries!
0:26:44 > 0:26:46He's a supermarket manager, or used to be.
0:26:46 > 0:26:50He joined the NHS a few years ago and Mrs Tembe's been mentoring him.
0:26:50 > 0:26:52A supermarket manager!
0:26:58 > 0:26:59"A Woman is an Island".
0:26:59 > 0:27:04I think if I was an island, I would like to be Gran Canaria.
0:27:05 > 0:27:07- That was an exchange, right? - Yep.
0:27:07 > 0:27:10- You've got to stop following me. - I'm here to see the doctor.
0:27:10 > 0:27:13When are you going to tell them the truth about us?
0:27:13 > 0:27:16A creator does not stop creating.
0:27:16 > 0:27:19That is an abandonment of an oath with one's talent.
