0:00:31 > 0:00:33Please, don't start, please!

0:00:37 > 0:00:39Shush!

0:00:39 > 0:00:42CRYING CONTINUES

0:00:43 > 0:00:44Oh, hiya!

0:00:44 > 0:00:46Here for the asthma clinic. Becky Allison.

0:00:46 > 0:00:47Let's have a look.

0:00:48 > 0:00:51Yeah, do you want to take a seat?

0:00:57 > 0:00:59You want a selfie with me or something?

0:01:03 > 0:01:04Morning, Karen.

0:01:04 > 0:01:06Morning.

0:01:06 > 0:01:08Is the kettle still hot? I'd love a brew.

0:01:08 > 0:01:09In your dreams!

0:01:09 > 0:01:11It was worth a try.

0:01:11 > 0:01:13Is there a room free for Will to use?

0:01:13 > 0:01:14I need complete peace and quiet.

0:01:14 > 0:01:17- He wants to revise.- Oh.

0:01:17 > 0:01:19Becky Allison?

0:01:19 > 0:01:21Room three's available.

0:01:21 > 0:01:23Wouldn't you be better off at home? It would be much quieter.

0:01:23 > 0:01:25I did tell him that.

0:01:25 > 0:01:27Well, then I wouldn't be able to pick your brain, would I?

0:01:27 > 0:01:29You're still not getting a cup of tea.

0:01:32 > 0:01:34PHONE RINGS

0:01:34 > 0:01:36Ooh! Hello, Mill Health Centre.

0:01:38 > 0:01:40Yeah.

0:01:40 > 0:01:42KNOCKING

0:01:42 > 0:01:43Ben?

0:01:46 > 0:01:47What's going on?

0:01:49 > 0:01:51Big breath.

0:01:54 > 0:01:56When was your last asthma attack?

0:01:56 > 0:01:58I don't know. Ages ago.

0:01:58 > 0:02:00Was before my last check-up, anyway.

0:02:00 > 0:02:02Well, everything looks good to me. You're good to go.

0:02:02 > 0:02:03Thanks.

0:02:08 > 0:02:09You seen my phone?

0:02:11 > 0:02:13You OK?

0:02:13 > 0:02:15Yeah.

0:02:15 > 0:02:16Just a bit tired.

0:02:16 > 0:02:19Hm. I bet it must be hard to get a good night's sleep.

0:02:20 > 0:02:23She is gorgeous, though, isn't she?

0:02:23 > 0:02:26Can I get some sleeping pills? I think they'll help.

0:02:26 > 0:02:28OK.

0:02:28 > 0:02:30Do you mind me asking what your routine's like with her?

0:02:30 > 0:02:32It's fine.

0:02:32 > 0:02:34Do you sleep when she does?

0:02:34 > 0:02:35I'm trying.

0:02:35 > 0:02:38And are you getting enough time for yourself?

0:02:38 > 0:02:41Time for myself? Right.

0:02:41 > 0:02:42I'm on my own.

0:02:42 > 0:02:44Oh, right.

0:02:44 > 0:02:47Even so, are you sure there isn't anyone who can keep

0:02:47 > 0:02:49an eye on her, just for five minutes?

0:02:49 > 0:02:51I said no, didn't I?

0:03:09 > 0:03:11How long is this going to go on for?

0:03:11 > 0:03:13Sorry?

0:03:13 > 0:03:18The silent treatment. It's incredibly immature.

0:03:18 > 0:03:21Oh, right, and you pretending that you're Columbo isn't?

0:03:21 > 0:03:24Have you got any idea how embarrassing it was to pick

0:03:24 > 0:03:26you up from the police station?

0:03:26 > 0:03:29Yes, it is embarrassing, isn't it?

0:03:29 > 0:03:32Oh, I see, you're playing tit-for-tat, are you?

0:03:32 > 0:03:34You're the one who called the police on me.

0:03:34 > 0:03:40Because you involved Alia! Besides, you weren't going to stop!

0:03:40 > 0:03:43Well, pardon me for being a concerned citizen.

0:03:43 > 0:03:47Right, so you're happy to carry on until you get arrested again?

0:03:47 > 0:03:49I'm not happy about anything.

0:03:49 > 0:03:52That is what's going to happen, Heston, if you do carry on.

0:03:52 > 0:03:54How does that reflect on you, Heston?

0:03:54 > 0:03:56I'm just doing what I think is right.

0:03:56 > 0:03:59I know you are, I know.

0:03:59 > 0:04:02But I think you're naive.

0:04:02 > 0:04:08I think you're naive if you think that you can arrest this man, single-handed.

0:04:08 > 0:04:11Because this is real, Heston. He is real.

0:04:11 > 0:04:14You don't know what he's like, or what he can do to you.

0:04:14 > 0:04:16So can you just, please, just leave it?

0:04:16 > 0:04:18And let the police deal with it, please.

0:04:26 > 0:04:27Fine.

0:04:28 > 0:04:29Thank you.

0:04:29 > 0:04:34So, have you told the police about this guy Rick,

0:04:34 > 0:04:36or where he might live?

0:04:36 > 0:04:38I don't think they're interested in what I have to say.

0:04:38 > 0:04:40OK, have you even tried?

0:04:40 > 0:04:43They're more interested in warning me about my vigilantism.

0:04:43 > 0:04:48OK. So you call them today and you tell them everything,

0:04:48 > 0:04:51and then that is the end to it.

0:04:52 > 0:04:54I mean it, Heston.

0:04:55 > 0:04:57OK.

0:05:00 > 0:05:01Thank you.

0:05:08 > 0:05:10Yes, dear.

0:05:11 > 0:05:14What was all the questions for if you weren't going to give them to me?

0:05:14 > 0:05:16So I can refer you to a doctor and then they can decide.

0:05:16 > 0:05:18BABY CRIES

0:05:18 > 0:05:20Don't you start. Don't!

0:05:21 > 0:05:24Where's my stupid phone? I don't believe this!

0:05:24 > 0:05:26You put it in your bag.

0:05:26 > 0:05:28Don't you remember?

0:05:28 > 0:05:30CRYING CONTINUES

0:05:30 > 0:05:31Sorry.

0:05:32 > 0:05:35I'm just, you know, tired.

0:05:35 > 0:05:36I keep forgetting things.

0:05:36 > 0:05:40You know, there are loads of people in your situation.

0:05:40 > 0:05:42You're not on your own.

0:05:42 > 0:05:44There's this group, local group.

0:05:44 > 0:05:48Really nice and loads of other mums for you to be able to talk to.

0:05:48 > 0:05:50They even organise baby-sitting with each other

0:05:50 > 0:05:53- so you can get out once in a while. - I know how to look after my baby.

0:05:53 > 0:05:54I know you do.

0:05:54 > 0:05:57Listen, my neighbour's really noisy.

0:05:57 > 0:05:59That's the main reason why I can't sleep.

0:05:59 > 0:06:01Your neighbour?

0:06:01 > 0:06:03Yeah. He's up all hours. It's a nightmare.

0:06:03 > 0:06:04I've tried everything.

0:06:04 > 0:06:07So can you book me in with the doctor, please?

0:06:07 > 0:06:09Yeah, I'll see what I can do.

0:06:16 > 0:06:17Mum?

0:06:22 > 0:06:24I've got to go to work.

0:06:31 > 0:06:33Being gay makes no difference to who I am.

0:06:33 > 0:06:36I'm still the same person I was yesterday.

0:06:36 > 0:06:37DOOR OPENS

0:06:37 > 0:06:39It's only me!

0:06:47 > 0:06:49How're you feeling?

0:06:49 > 0:06:50Yeah, fine.

0:06:50 > 0:06:51I meant after...

0:06:51 > 0:06:56Oh, right. Yeah, I'm great. I'm tickety boo.

0:06:57 > 0:06:58Tickety boo?

0:06:58 > 0:07:00Yeah. It's my new word.

0:07:00 > 0:07:02Right.

0:07:04 > 0:07:06This is really weird.

0:07:06 > 0:07:09I know. But we'll be all right, though.

0:07:09 > 0:07:11We'll get used to it, just need a bit of time.

0:07:13 > 0:07:17Come on, babes. What's wrong?

0:07:19 > 0:07:22She really hasn't said anything?

0:07:24 > 0:07:28Gloria, baby, you're really making me worried.

0:07:28 > 0:07:32Please, tell me what's going on? Gloria?

0:07:35 > 0:07:37It might be Pops.

0:07:37 > 0:07:39Have you spoken to Pops?

0:07:39 > 0:07:41Dad...

0:07:41 > 0:07:43I'm gay.

0:07:43 > 0:07:45She found out last night.

0:07:46 > 0:07:47You're gay?

0:07:47 > 0:07:48Yes.

0:07:50 > 0:07:52You found out he's gay?

0:07:55 > 0:08:00HE LAUGHS

0:08:00 > 0:08:04I thought you had cancer or Pops had died. Jeez...

0:08:04 > 0:08:06- What?- I've known for years.

0:08:12 > 0:08:14She's the spit of you, isn't she?

0:08:14 > 0:08:16Thanks.

0:08:16 > 0:08:19Right, I understand that you wanted to talk to me about sleeping pills?

0:08:19 > 0:08:21My next-door neighbour keeps playing the piano

0:08:21 > 0:08:24and the walls are rubbish so I can't sleep.

0:08:24 > 0:08:26Have you tried talking to them?

0:08:26 > 0:08:28Oh, right. No, I hadn't thought of that!

0:08:30 > 0:08:34Sorry, I'm just really tired.

0:08:34 > 0:08:35It's all right for her, though.

0:08:35 > 0:08:37She can sleep through anything.

0:08:37 > 0:08:40I could live with it if I could sleep.

0:08:40 > 0:08:41It's just pills, Dr Reid.

0:08:41 > 0:08:43If you think I'm going to get addicted, I won't.

0:08:43 > 0:08:44I'm not stupid.

0:08:44 > 0:08:46Look, Becky, it's not that.

0:08:46 > 0:08:50Look, I would be reticent to give anybody sleeping pills

0:08:50 > 0:08:52who was looking after a baby on their own.

0:08:52 > 0:08:54You saying I don't know how to look after Daisy properly?

0:08:54 > 0:08:57No, that's not what I said.

0:08:58 > 0:09:04Look, I'd like you to read this before I even consider giving you sleeping pills.

0:09:06 > 0:09:07Sleep hygiene?

0:09:07 > 0:09:11Yeah, it's been proven that changing your habits can help.

0:09:11 > 0:09:15So things like no caffeine, not watching TV, or using a laptop...

0:09:15 > 0:09:17I don't believe this.

0:09:17 > 0:09:19Becky.

0:09:19 > 0:09:20No, forget it!

0:09:20 > 0:09:22Becky, please!

0:09:28 > 0:09:31Oh, get ready for World War III.

0:09:31 > 0:09:33How did it go with Becky?

0:09:33 > 0:09:35Oh, not great actually.

0:09:35 > 0:09:37Postnatal depression, right?

0:09:37 > 0:09:40Hm. No, I'm not so sure.

0:09:40 > 0:09:43You know that she's got a neighbour who's keeping her up all night?

0:09:43 > 0:09:45I think she's making that up.

0:09:45 > 0:09:48- Oh?- Well, she only came up with the neighbour story after

0:09:48 > 0:09:50I pushed her into opening up. I mean, I could be wrong.

0:09:50 > 0:09:52No, no, no, no.

0:09:52 > 0:09:57It's just that, well, the situation wasn't screaming post natal depression to me.

0:09:57 > 0:10:00I mean, she seems to have a good relationship with her daughter.

0:10:00 > 0:10:02Right. Well, thanks anyway.

0:10:02 > 0:10:04No problem. Do you fancy a drink tonight?

0:10:04 > 0:10:05Oh, I can't. Asthma clinic's packed.

0:10:05 > 0:10:08- Rain check?- Yeah. That would be nice.

0:10:10 > 0:10:11Problem?

0:10:11 > 0:10:12No. No.

0:10:12 > 0:10:14Not at all.

0:10:14 > 0:10:15Good.

0:10:23 > 0:10:26At least he's not quit his job to go hunting for aliens.

0:10:26 > 0:10:29Is that supposed to be funny?

0:10:29 > 0:10:32He's a good kid. So he's batting for the other side.

0:10:32 > 0:10:34I'm still here, you know.

0:10:34 > 0:10:36Why didn't you tell me?

0:10:36 > 0:10:39Why didn't you tell me if you'd known for years?

0:10:39 > 0:10:41I'd have thought it would've come up.

0:10:41 > 0:10:44You know, while you two had been having all your heart to hearts.

0:10:44 > 0:10:48We haven't had any heart to hearts. Well, not about this.

0:10:48 > 0:10:50I just worked it out.

0:10:50 > 0:10:53How? He hasn't ever had a boyfriend.

0:10:53 > 0:10:55Or a girlfriend.

0:10:55 > 0:10:57He has had...a girlfriend.

0:11:01 > 0:11:04Why didn't you tell me on your own?

0:11:04 > 0:11:08Why did it have to happen like that with that boy there?

0:11:09 > 0:11:11I thought you could tell me anything.

0:11:11 > 0:11:14I can. But I thought, with the church...

0:11:14 > 0:11:15Stop it, right there.

0:11:19 > 0:11:23I'm not upset because you're gay, or because of the church.

0:11:23 > 0:11:26It won't be easy, but that doesn't matter.

0:11:27 > 0:11:30What really hurts

0:11:30 > 0:11:34is that you didn't tell me,

0:11:34 > 0:11:36couldn't tell me.

0:11:38 > 0:11:40That's what breaks my heart.

0:11:51 > 0:11:54RINGING

0:12:01 > 0:12:02Heston.

0:12:02 > 0:12:05I've got the name and address of the drug dealer.

0:12:05 > 0:12:06We arrested him yesterday.

0:12:06 > 0:12:07No, I don't mean Ferdy -

0:12:07 > 0:12:10I mean the man who supplies him with the drugs.

0:12:10 > 0:12:11Found his supplier?

0:12:11 > 0:12:12Yeah. His name is Rick.

0:12:12 > 0:12:15He lives on Denby Drive and he associates with somebody called Soph.

0:12:15 > 0:12:17Stop there, Heston.

0:12:17 > 0:12:18Sorry?

0:12:18 > 0:12:21No more. Didn't I make myself clear yesterday?

0:12:21 > 0:12:23Look, if it wasn't for me,

0:12:23 > 0:12:25Ferdy would still be selling that muck!

0:12:25 > 0:12:28You know what, I'm not going to co-operate with you any more.

0:12:28 > 0:12:30I wasn't aware you were co-operating!

0:12:30 > 0:12:32Yep, we are done. You have any more problems

0:12:32 > 0:12:35and you're going to have to go through the proper channels.

0:12:35 > 0:12:37- Do you understand?- Perfectly.

0:12:37 > 0:12:38Good.

0:12:46 > 0:12:49HE SIGHS

0:12:51 > 0:12:53RINGING

0:12:53 > 0:12:55'Please leave your message after the tone.'

0:12:55 > 0:12:58Yeah, it's me. I just gave Rob the dealer's address.

0:12:58 > 0:13:02He wasn't interested, so that is the end of the Viper business.

0:13:02 > 0:13:06Anyway, I'm cooking supper. Cannelloni and beef ragu.

0:13:06 > 0:13:08Could you pick up some extra Parmesan on your way home?

0:13:08 > 0:13:11And give me a ring, thanks.

0:13:22 > 0:13:26Um, Eash, do you fancy grabbing lunch at the Icon?

0:13:26 > 0:13:27Ah, Billy-No-Mates, are you?

0:13:27 > 0:13:30Do you know what, I'm not even going to try and deny it. Yes.

0:13:30 > 0:13:32Yeah, if you can wait a while.

0:13:32 > 0:13:34How do you fancy inviting Emma along?

0:13:34 > 0:13:35The more the merrier.

0:13:35 > 0:13:36Great!

0:13:37 > 0:13:41Oh, hi. This is a message for Becky Allison.

0:13:41 > 0:13:42Will you stop it?!

0:13:42 > 0:13:47Sorry. This is Karen from the Mill Health Centre.

0:13:47 > 0:13:51If you're missing a toy elephant, we've got it behind reception.

0:13:51 > 0:13:52I'll drop it off.

0:13:52 > 0:13:56Oh, ignore that message. Bye.

0:13:56 > 0:13:59Sorry, Sid, another time. Give it?

0:13:59 > 0:14:01Meanie.

0:14:02 > 0:14:03Hey.

0:14:03 > 0:14:05What are you doing here?

0:14:05 > 0:14:07Well, that's very friendly, isn't it?

0:14:07 > 0:14:09Karen, I've e-mailed you the doc.

0:14:09 > 0:14:11Give me a shout if you want me to walk you through anything.

0:14:11 > 0:14:13- Can we at least talk about it? - Not here.

0:14:13 > 0:14:15Well, where, then?

0:14:15 > 0:14:16- You all right?- It's fine.

0:14:30 > 0:14:34What you did, turning up to my house without asking, invading

0:14:34 > 0:14:38my privacy like that, even what you're doing now is out of order.

0:14:38 > 0:14:40Actually, it's weird.

0:14:40 > 0:14:42Look, I'm sorry, but I kind of thought you were out already.

0:14:42 > 0:14:44You're 25!

0:14:44 > 0:14:47You have no concept! It's none of your business, Will!

0:14:47 > 0:14:49Well, it is if I'm going to be your boyfriend.

0:14:49 > 0:14:51Well, maybe you're not.

0:14:53 > 0:14:56You know what - how was I supposed to know, anyway?

0:14:56 > 0:15:00You don't tell me anything! I didn't even know you were still living with Mummy and Daddy.

0:15:03 > 0:15:06Just because you've been out and proud since birth

0:15:06 > 0:15:08doesn't mean the rest of us have.

0:15:08 > 0:15:13My family aren't like yours. It's tricky. They have a lot of issues.

0:15:13 > 0:15:15Well, not any more!

0:15:15 > 0:15:16Are you joking?

0:15:16 > 0:15:20Look, it's done now. Admittedly not in the right way, but at least they know.

0:15:20 > 0:15:21So you've done me a favour?

0:15:21 > 0:15:24Well, yeah, sort of.

0:15:24 > 0:15:26My mum's really upset.

0:15:27 > 0:15:29Some families just need time.

0:15:29 > 0:15:31It's hard for your lot, I get it.

0:15:31 > 0:15:33"Your lot"?

0:15:34 > 0:15:36Not black. Churchy.

0:15:40 > 0:15:41Do you want a hug?

0:15:41 > 0:15:42No!

0:15:45 > 0:15:47We're OK, though, right?

0:15:47 > 0:15:50No, not really.

0:15:51 > 0:15:54Look, my parents are my priority right now.

0:15:54 > 0:15:56Yeah, course.

0:15:59 > 0:16:01You need to go.

0:16:15 > 0:16:17Becky?

0:16:17 > 0:16:19Yeah, I've got Daisy's elephant,

0:16:19 > 0:16:20she must have dropped it in reception.

0:16:20 > 0:16:22I'm bringing it over to you.

0:16:26 > 0:16:30Becky. Becky. Becky, just try and stay calm.

0:16:30 > 0:16:31I'll be there as soon as I can.

0:16:43 > 0:16:45Yeah, is that Reel's Health?

0:16:47 > 0:16:50Yeah, do you have any marshmallow leaves?

0:16:53 > 0:16:55Hello?

0:16:55 > 0:16:57Hello?

0:16:57 > 0:17:00LOUD PIANO MUSIC

0:17:00 > 0:17:02Can you stop, please?

0:17:02 > 0:17:04It's been going on for weeks.

0:17:04 > 0:17:07I've complained to my landlord but he won't do nothing.

0:17:07 > 0:17:10Apparently, the council reckons he ain't a nuisance cos it's

0:17:10 > 0:17:13- the middle of the day so it's not unsociable hours.- Oh!

0:17:13 > 0:17:15The only thing left for me is to move out,

0:17:15 > 0:17:18but I can't till my tenancy runs out or I'll lose the deposit.

0:17:18 > 0:17:21There's a baby trying to sleep next door!

0:17:21 > 0:17:24MUSIC STOPS

0:17:32 > 0:17:33Looks like he's stopped.

0:17:33 > 0:17:35Maybe he's got the message.

0:17:35 > 0:17:36Yeah, maybe.

0:17:38 > 0:17:41Why don't you try and get some sleep while he's quiet?

0:17:44 > 0:17:46Thanks, yeah?

0:17:46 > 0:17:47No worries.

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

0:17:57 > 0:18:02Hi, I rang earlier about purchasing some marshmallow leaves.

0:18:02 > 0:18:05Yeah. It was me you spoke to. You were after a kilo of it, right?

0:18:05 > 0:18:06That's right, yeah.

0:18:06 > 0:18:07Yeah, I saw her on the list.

0:18:07 > 0:18:09Her op is next month.

0:18:09 > 0:18:10Yep, it's Mr Beasley, I think.

0:18:14 > 0:18:16SMASH

0:18:16 > 0:18:20Could I interest you in anything else? Vitamins, herbal tea?

0:18:20 > 0:18:22Beetroot cake?

0:18:22 > 0:18:24Beetroot cake. No, um...

0:18:24 > 0:18:29Gav, do you know what sort of people are buying marshmallow leaves?

0:18:29 > 0:18:32I'm a doctor and it would be very useful for my research.

0:18:32 > 0:18:34Most our stock's being purchased by the same bloke.

0:18:34 > 0:18:35Oh, is he another doctor?

0:18:35 > 0:18:37No idea, mate.

0:18:37 > 0:18:41No. Because you may not know this - they're very useful for the digestive system.

0:18:41 > 0:18:44I was just wondering if he was prescribing them in the same way.

0:18:44 > 0:18:46He never really says why he's buying it.

0:18:46 > 0:18:51Because my patients would be really... Yeah.

0:18:51 > 0:18:55He hasn't left a number or an address, or anything?

0:18:55 > 0:18:58I can't give that kind of information out. Data protection.

0:18:58 > 0:18:59Of course you can't.

0:18:59 > 0:19:04Um... Well, as they're so popular, I should order some more.

0:19:04 > 0:19:06Right, I can sort that out for you.

0:19:06 > 0:19:09So, how much would you like?

0:19:09 > 0:19:11One or two kilos?

0:19:11 > 0:19:12Two kilos.

0:19:12 > 0:19:16OK, so all I need is your name, address and telephone number,

0:19:16 > 0:19:18and we ask for half the purchase price up front.

0:19:18 > 0:19:21I could also do with some protein powder.

0:19:21 > 0:19:25- Because I'm looking to build my...- Which brand?- ..muscles.

0:19:25 > 0:19:27What would you suggest?

0:19:27 > 0:19:29They're all pretty much the same, to be honest.

0:19:29 > 0:19:31Muscle Maker is made from pea protein.

0:19:31 > 0:19:33Sounds good to me.

0:19:37 > 0:19:40How many tubs?

0:19:40 > 0:19:41One's great.

0:19:47 > 0:19:50Actually, you know what, I'm going to get them from Reel's Health.

0:19:50 > 0:19:52They're on special offer there. Sorry for your trouble.

0:19:52 > 0:19:55And what about the marshmallow leaves?

0:19:55 > 0:19:56I'm on a meter - I'll be right back!

0:19:58 > 0:19:59I'm not paying for nothing!

0:19:59 > 0:20:00- But you did it!- Prove it.

0:20:00 > 0:20:02Everyone, just calm down!

0:20:02 > 0:20:04She's been knocking on my door for weeks.

0:20:04 > 0:20:07I'm not the only one round here who can't stand you or your music!

0:20:07 > 0:20:09- Becky.- He can't even play!

0:20:09 > 0:20:10Don't get personal.

0:20:10 > 0:20:13She's just evil. Her and that stupid kid.

0:20:13 > 0:20:14Don't you dare call my baby stupid!

0:20:14 > 0:20:17What are you going to do about it? Throw another brick?

0:20:17 > 0:20:19Yeah, if that's what it takes, you weirdo.

0:20:19 > 0:20:21All right, everyone. Time out. I'm Sergeant Hollins.

0:20:21 > 0:20:23She smashed my window.

0:20:23 > 0:20:25Yeah, well, he's smashing in my eardrums!

0:20:25 > 0:20:26Get away from my house! Go on! Get lost!

0:20:26 > 0:20:28Why won't you stop?

0:20:28 > 0:20:30- Are you the neighbour, madam?- Yeah.

0:20:30 > 0:20:33Do you mind waiting inside your house? You will get your say, I promise.

0:20:33 > 0:20:34Thanks.

0:20:35 > 0:20:38She did throw the rock, Rob, but she felt she had no choice.

0:20:38 > 0:20:41She's a new mum and he's been playing the piano all hours.

0:20:41 > 0:20:43I take it you're Paul Knowles?

0:20:43 > 0:20:44Yes, that's right.

0:20:44 > 0:20:47- And you've had your window broken? - Yeah, by her.

0:20:47 > 0:20:48Why don't we go inside as well?

0:20:48 > 0:20:51Somewhere quiet where I can get all the details?

0:20:51 > 0:20:54Well, she's not coming. She's on her side.

0:20:54 > 0:20:55No, I'm not on anyone's side.

0:20:55 > 0:20:58I'm a nurse and you've got a pretty nasty cut there.

0:20:58 > 0:21:00I could do with taking a look at it.

0:21:00 > 0:21:01Yeah, why don't you let her see to it?

0:21:06 > 0:21:09It'll be easier if you sit down.

0:21:09 > 0:21:11So, I take it you know why your neighbour threw a rock

0:21:11 > 0:21:13through your window?

0:21:14 > 0:21:15No.

0:21:15 > 0:21:18So it's got nothing to do with playing the piano?

0:21:18 > 0:21:19Becky can't sleep.

0:21:19 > 0:21:22To a degree, what you do in your own home is your own business,

0:21:22 > 0:21:25but when it comes to...well, disturbing your neighbours,

0:21:25 > 0:21:28then there's got to be some middle ground, hasn't there? Hm?

0:21:28 > 0:21:30I mean, we've all got to get along.

0:21:30 > 0:21:32So is it not possible that you could just

0:21:32 > 0:21:33play your piano at certain times?

0:21:33 > 0:21:37I'm the victim here. That girl threw a rock through my window.

0:21:37 > 0:21:38You should be locking her up!

0:21:38 > 0:21:39Yes, you are the victim,

0:21:39 > 0:21:42and she will be prosecuted if that's what you want.

0:21:42 > 0:21:44- It is.- Let's just stay calm. Hm?

0:21:44 > 0:21:46Shall we have a cup of tea?

0:21:49 > 0:21:51I'll put the kettle on.

0:21:54 > 0:21:55HE SIGHS

0:22:00 > 0:22:03Er, Heston, he's going to cook dinner tonight.

0:22:03 > 0:22:05Cannelloni with beef ragu.

0:22:05 > 0:22:07Ooh! Lucky for some!

0:22:07 > 0:22:08Yeah.

0:22:08 > 0:22:11I see there's a ceasefire between you and Ayesha.

0:22:11 > 0:22:13Yeah, I hope so.

0:22:13 > 0:22:15How did you manage that?

0:22:15 > 0:22:17It was pretty easy. I just had to have a minor health crisis.

0:22:18 > 0:22:20How are you feeling?

0:22:20 > 0:22:21I'm fine.

0:22:21 > 0:22:23Traces of paranoia, but...

0:22:23 > 0:22:24Emma, you know...

0:22:24 > 0:22:29I am fine. It's just affecting my moods still, that's all.

0:22:29 > 0:22:31Mind you, it's nothing to what Louise Warren went through.

0:22:31 > 0:22:34But at least she had Heston with her.

0:23:04 > 0:23:07Here we are.

0:23:10 > 0:23:11- No, thanks.- Oh!

0:23:15 > 0:23:18Do you mind telling me where your wife is?

0:23:19 > 0:23:21I don't see the relevance.

0:23:28 > 0:23:29Where is she, Mr Knowles?

0:23:31 > 0:23:34Mr Knowles, can you stop playing for a minute, please?

0:23:34 > 0:23:37Paul? I'm talk...

0:23:41 > 0:23:42Where's your wife?

0:23:44 > 0:23:45Gone.

0:23:47 > 0:23:49She left me for her acupuncturist.

0:23:56 > 0:23:59Paul, I'm really sorry about your wife,

0:23:59 > 0:24:03but taking it out on Becky isn't the answer.

0:24:04 > 0:24:06Or the baby.

0:24:09 > 0:24:12Hearing about the baby hurts you, doesn't it?

0:24:14 > 0:24:15What happened, Paul?

0:24:18 > 0:24:20She's having his baby.

0:24:21 > 0:24:23We couldn't have any.

0:24:27 > 0:24:29I'm really, really sorry.

0:24:30 > 0:24:33But from where I'm standing,

0:24:33 > 0:24:36you're taking your hurt out on all the wrong people,

0:24:36 > 0:24:40including yourself. You're letting your ex win.

0:24:40 > 0:24:42RADIO CHATTER

0:24:44 > 0:24:47There was life before your wife and there will be after.

0:24:53 > 0:24:56I'm hardly David Beckham.

0:24:56 > 0:25:00Well, no, you're not, but you're an attractive bloke.

0:25:00 > 0:25:02You could do with a bit of a shave, maybe.

0:25:04 > 0:25:06What do you do?

0:25:06 > 0:25:07I'm a web designer.

0:25:07 > 0:25:09That's interesting.

0:25:10 > 0:25:12You're just saying that.

0:25:12 > 0:25:16No, I'm not. And I'm no expert but you seem to play the piano pretty well.

0:25:16 > 0:25:19Granted, it's pretty annoying when you play the same tune

0:25:19 > 0:25:20over and over again 100 times,

0:25:20 > 0:25:23but who plays like that? No-one I know.

0:25:23 > 0:25:26That's a real talent. And you're your own boss!

0:25:26 > 0:25:28I would kill to be my own boss.

0:25:29 > 0:25:33Your wife left you, but it sounds to me like it's her loss.

0:26:00 > 0:26:02So I'm not going to be arrested?

0:26:02 > 0:26:03No. You're fine.

0:26:03 > 0:26:04This time.

0:26:06 > 0:26:08Oh! Very smart.

0:26:08 > 0:26:09Thanks.

0:26:12 > 0:26:13The music's stopped.

0:26:13 > 0:26:16For now. I'm going to get him some help.

0:26:16 > 0:26:18Why - what's wrong with him?

0:26:18 > 0:26:20Only what's wrong with a lot of people in this day and age.

0:26:20 > 0:26:22He's lonely.

0:26:24 > 0:26:27Here, it's the mums group.

0:26:27 > 0:26:28Think about it.

0:26:31 > 0:26:32See you.

0:26:37 > 0:26:39- Baby's asleep, then.- Yeah.

0:27:09 > 0:27:11Viper is being manufactured in that house!

0:27:11 > 0:27:13What, and you know that for sure?

0:27:13 > 0:27:15You should see a doctor.

0:27:15 > 0:27:17I do not need one. I am a robot.

0:27:17 > 0:27:18Oi!

0:27:19 > 0:27:23If this was politics, I would hand you a pamphlet for my party.

0:27:23 > 0:27:26The Atheist Party, we'll give you something to believe in.

0:27:26 > 0:27:28Which is not believing in anything?
