0:00:30 > 0:00:33PHONE RINGS
0:00:38 > 0:00:41PHONE RINGS
0:00:45 > 0:00:48Megan, I just wondered if you've got any gaps
0:00:48 > 0:00:51in-between your patients later? Why? Did you want to chat?
0:00:51 > 0:00:53Yeah, if we have a window that coincides.
0:00:53 > 0:00:55OK, I'll e-mail you my schedule.
0:00:55 > 0:00:57All right. If it's not too much trouble.
0:00:57 > 0:00:59All right, you two. Calm down.
0:01:02 > 0:01:05Is everything OK? Yeah. Why wouldn't it be?
0:01:11 > 0:01:14PHONE RINGS
0:01:19 > 0:01:21How the devil are you?
0:01:21 > 0:01:22Sent anybody down today?
0:01:24 > 0:01:25You're still in bed, aren't you?
0:01:25 > 0:01:27Kind of.
0:01:27 > 0:01:29Are you going to get up?
0:01:29 > 0:01:31Do you have plans to do anything today?
0:01:31 > 0:01:32Anything at all?
0:01:33 > 0:01:36'You think it's funny? It's not. It's outrageous.'
0:01:36 > 0:01:39The fact that you can still be in bed at half past ten
0:01:39 > 0:01:40when I'm working
0:01:40 > 0:01:43'and your father's working and all you do is...'
0:01:43 > 0:01:45Russell, I'm... Russell!
0:01:49 > 0:01:52PHONE RINGS
0:01:52 > 0:01:54Hey, lovely. How you doing?
0:01:54 > 0:01:57You know, he's still in bed? You know, he's stoned?
0:01:58 > 0:02:00The shower's just gone on.
0:02:00 > 0:02:02'Only if he teleported from his pit,'
0:02:02 > 0:02:04to the bathroom. Stop covering for him.
0:02:04 > 0:02:06He made coffee earlier.
0:02:06 > 0:02:07'I know you're lying.'
0:02:07 > 0:02:09The fact that a man of 25, who has never left home,
0:02:09 > 0:02:12needs applause for putting the kettle on...
0:02:12 > 0:02:14'what does that tell you?'
0:02:14 > 0:02:15He's getting motivated. He's getting there.
0:02:15 > 0:02:18'It doesn't help to criticise.'
0:02:18 > 0:02:20You know how badly Russell reacts to that.
0:02:20 > 0:02:23He's lazy and manipulative.
0:02:23 > 0:02:25'Oh, come on...' No, you come on!
0:02:26 > 0:02:27I'll be back later.
0:02:29 > 0:02:30Mel?
0:02:35 > 0:02:36Russell!
0:02:37 > 0:02:39Russell!
0:02:43 > 0:02:45Doctor Clay is so nice.
0:02:45 > 0:02:48Tell you what though, I can't wait for this tinnitus to stop.
0:02:48 > 0:02:51Yeah, it can be horrible. Let's see what we can do.
0:02:51 > 0:02:52Pop your hair behind your ear
0:02:52 > 0:02:55and tilt your head slightly towards this bowl for me.
0:02:57 > 0:02:59Oh! That looks nasty.
0:02:59 > 0:03:01Nah.
0:03:01 > 0:03:03I didn't hang the curtain pole straight,
0:03:03 > 0:03:05so he stubbed his fag out on my neck.
0:03:05 > 0:03:09You're joking. No. That was Gary for you.
0:03:09 > 0:03:10It wasn't the worst thing he did.
0:03:12 > 0:03:15Anyway, I've come here to sort my ears out, not talk about the past.
0:03:15 > 0:03:17History's history.
0:03:17 > 0:03:19Is it? Yeah.
0:03:19 > 0:03:22Yeah, I got myself together, I've got myself sorted,
0:03:22 > 0:03:26I've got my life back, I got my house back.
0:03:26 > 0:03:28Good for you. Yeah.
0:03:29 > 0:03:31KNOCK ON DOOR
0:03:33 > 0:03:35Hi.
0:03:35 > 0:03:41OK. I think that we should just put it all behind us, yeah?
0:03:41 > 0:03:45Try and just lock it away and move forward
0:03:45 > 0:03:47as colleagues... As professionals.
0:03:48 > 0:03:51Really? Don't you agree?
0:03:52 > 0:03:54Sit down.
0:03:58 > 0:04:02This whole locking away business. It would be for the best.
0:04:02 > 0:04:04No, it wouldn't. Would. It wouldn't.
0:04:06 > 0:04:10Far better to face the fact that we have had sex, at work,
0:04:10 > 0:04:12and ended up with...
0:04:12 > 0:04:15It was unprofessional. Unhealthy and inappropriate.
0:04:15 > 0:04:18Were we to "lock it away" what would that do
0:04:18 > 0:04:21for the success of our sessions?
0:04:22 > 0:04:24What if it tried to escape?
0:04:24 > 0:04:25I don't know.
0:04:27 > 0:04:29We were really getting somewhere, Sid,
0:04:29 > 0:04:32and I don't want one mistake to...
0:04:32 > 0:04:35A mistake that's never going to happen again.
0:04:35 > 0:04:38..to put what you've achieved in jeopardy.
0:04:39 > 0:04:43I think what we need to do is work out what happened
0:04:43 > 0:04:44and move on from it.
0:04:46 > 0:04:48You want to talk about it?
0:04:48 > 0:04:49No, we need to talk about it.
0:04:49 > 0:04:52We need to understand what happened.
0:04:52 > 0:04:53Not here though.
0:04:55 > 0:04:56OK.
0:04:57 > 0:05:01It must be great to have a nurse in the family. Useful.
0:05:03 > 0:05:04Oh, wow!
0:05:04 > 0:05:06Say something. Like what?
0:05:06 > 0:05:09I don't know. Like, where'd you go to school?
0:05:09 > 0:05:11Me? On The Churchill.
0:05:11 > 0:05:13"On the Churchill."
0:05:15 > 0:05:17You don't half sound like your mum.
0:05:19 > 0:05:21My mum?
0:05:22 > 0:05:24OK, I don't know what your game is...
0:05:24 > 0:05:29No, no game. Look, I've known Bren for a while now and
0:05:29 > 0:05:31I know things haven't been great between you two,
0:05:31 > 0:05:33but I really think that you should talk to her. Just...
0:05:33 > 0:05:36I'm not interested. We're done.
0:05:36 > 0:05:38If you need to see a nurse again, it won't be me.
0:05:47 > 0:05:49Why did you do that?
0:05:49 > 0:05:51Why didn't you just tell me you knew her from the start?
0:05:51 > 0:05:53Cos I wasn't sure I was going to tell you at all.
0:05:53 > 0:05:55Then why did you?
0:05:55 > 0:05:57Because it's really important.
0:05:57 > 0:06:00Look, you don't know how much she's changed.
0:06:00 > 0:06:03You only get one mum, and I know she's not perfect...
0:06:03 > 0:06:05SHE SCOFFS
0:06:05 > 0:06:07No, look, I don't care about my ears,
0:06:07 > 0:06:09and I wouldn't have even come here
0:06:09 > 0:06:12if I didn't know that you two need to sort things out.
0:06:12 > 0:06:15That's...why I came.
0:06:15 > 0:06:16It was worth a try.
0:06:16 > 0:06:18Oh, please!
0:06:18 > 0:06:21Look, it's fine to let the anger out.
0:06:21 > 0:06:23Don't try and lock it up.
0:06:24 > 0:06:26It's a start.
0:06:26 > 0:06:27I don't want to start anything -
0:06:27 > 0:06:30not with you and definitely not with her
0:06:30 > 0:06:32You've wasted your time.
0:06:44 > 0:06:49Morning. Me again. I've got an 11 o'clock appointment. I'm a tad late.
0:06:49 > 0:06:52It's not been three months, has it? It can't be.
0:06:52 > 0:06:54Time flies. Tempus fugit.
0:06:54 > 0:06:56Doctor Carmichael's over at the other surgery, but...
0:06:56 > 0:07:00Oh, OK, you're seeing... Dr Clay.
0:07:00 > 0:07:03I like to mix things up a bit, so... Take a seat.
0:07:08 > 0:07:09Whoa! Someone's in a hurry.
0:07:11 > 0:07:13I'm nothing like her! You said.
0:07:13 > 0:07:16You have no idea how toxic my mother is.
0:07:16 > 0:07:18I know she's faced a lot of her demons.
0:07:18 > 0:07:21She's been fighting them, Ayesha, and she's winning!
0:07:21 > 0:07:23Yeah, right! Look, I thought...
0:07:23 > 0:07:27I just thought you might like to know that she's doing OK.
0:07:27 > 0:07:29Bet you've not have heard that in a while, have you?
0:07:29 > 0:07:31Bren's doing OK?
0:07:34 > 0:07:36That's where she's living.
0:07:36 > 0:07:38With me.
0:07:38 > 0:07:40There, you know where she is. There's no pressure,
0:07:40 > 0:07:43just...have a think.
0:07:43 > 0:07:46She was really upset after she saw you on Friday.
0:07:48 > 0:07:50She doesn't know I'm here.
0:08:00 > 0:08:03I'm sure that I don't need quarterly checkups any more,
0:08:03 > 0:08:05but it keeps my dad happy.
0:08:07 > 0:08:09Hey, I'll tell you what though...
0:08:09 > 0:08:13that Doctor Carmichael thinks she's a proper Scary Mary, doesn't she?
0:08:13 > 0:08:15Does she scare you? No.
0:08:16 > 0:08:19I live with my father and his second wife.
0:08:19 > 0:08:22Compared to her, Zara Carmichael is an amateur!
0:08:23 > 0:08:26So, aside from the recent bout of diarrhoea,
0:08:26 > 0:08:29there's no other health concerns? No.
0:08:30 > 0:08:35I mean, the Evil gave me a couple of hard boiled eggs, but everything...
0:08:35 > 0:08:37How shall I put this?
0:08:37 > 0:08:39Everything came together.
0:08:39 > 0:08:40The Evil?
0:08:40 > 0:08:42Evil stepmother.
0:08:43 > 0:08:46Yeah, Mrs Mel Tolt.
0:08:48 > 0:08:51She who wishes I wasn't there. Mel Tolt, the barrister?
0:08:53 > 0:08:54Oops!
0:08:54 > 0:08:56What, you know her?
0:08:56 > 0:09:00Hm. Yeah, I do some work for the police.
0:09:00 > 0:09:02What sort...of police work?
0:09:04 > 0:09:11Let's just focus on you, shall we? So, smoking, drinking.
0:09:11 > 0:09:12Any other substance issues?
0:09:12 > 0:09:16Clean as a whistle. Sorry, hang on,
0:09:16 > 0:09:20sudden moment of self-awareness and circumspection just hit.
0:09:20 > 0:09:22I probably shouldn't be mean about Mel.
0:09:22 > 0:09:24I expect that you really like her.
0:09:27 > 0:09:29Well, back to the dreaded diarrhoea.
0:09:29 > 0:09:36I just wanted to ask a few questions about just, you know...
0:09:37 > 0:09:40..everyday toxins and their effects.
0:09:40 > 0:09:44So, for example, would a low dose of fly agaric give you the squits?
0:09:44 > 0:09:45Why, have you taken any?
0:09:45 > 0:09:47I mean, we've all read Alice in Wonderland.
0:09:47 > 0:09:50Yes, we have, so we know that nobody should mess around
0:09:50 > 0:09:53with hallucinogens, especially someone with your history. Me?
0:09:53 > 0:09:57Oh, no, no, sorry, no. It's research, I should have said.
0:09:57 > 0:09:58Research?
0:09:58 > 0:10:02I'm playing with the idea of being a crime writer, so... Really?
0:10:02 > 0:10:05Maybe your evil stepmother could be a good resource for you.
0:10:05 > 0:10:08I don't think so. OK...
0:10:09 > 0:10:11Well, you keep doing what you're doing
0:10:11 > 0:10:14and we will see you again in three months. Oh, I will.
0:10:20 > 0:10:23Tammy, I am so sorry. No worries.
0:10:23 > 0:10:26Jack, are you down here? No need to shout.
0:10:26 > 0:10:29How did he make this much mess in such a short time?
0:10:29 > 0:10:32What is wrong with him? He's young.
0:10:32 > 0:10:37He's 25! Making excuses isn't helping anyone.
0:10:37 > 0:10:38We need to do something.
0:10:38 > 0:10:42Russell will never leave home, he is a drain and a slob
0:10:42 > 0:10:45and we're doing him no favours making life too easy.
0:10:45 > 0:10:47He hasn't had an easy life.
0:10:47 > 0:10:49A lot of people have it a lot worse.
0:10:49 > 0:10:51He was hospitalised!
0:10:51 > 0:10:53He's been dining out on that for years.
0:10:53 > 0:10:56Drugs are dangerous, and he's messed himself up.
0:10:56 > 0:11:00Now, you need to stop pampering him cos I've had enough.
0:11:00 > 0:11:02As soon as Russell decides what he wants to... Here we go.
0:11:02 > 0:11:06He's got a pair of degrees, but has never had a proper job.
0:11:06 > 0:11:09Have you ever thought that Russell is too talented?
0:11:09 > 0:11:11He can't choose because he has too many choices?
0:11:11 > 0:11:13You're not joking, are you?!
0:11:13 > 0:11:16I get it. You love your boy.
0:11:16 > 0:11:19And, yes, he suffered a childhood trauma and, OK,
0:11:19 > 0:11:22you could have handled it better, but now?
0:11:22 > 0:11:26Now, he's pathologically indolent and you're a fantasist.
0:11:26 > 0:11:31He's trying. He is not a nice person, and we are enabling him.
0:11:34 > 0:11:35Disgusting.
0:11:36 > 0:11:37He's disgusting.
0:11:39 > 0:11:40Stop it. No.
0:11:40 > 0:11:43I accept my share of the responsibility,
0:11:43 > 0:11:47so if it falls to me to be the one to sort it out, then so be it.
0:11:50 > 0:11:52Disgusting!
0:11:52 > 0:11:58Clearly there was a mutual sexual attraction, so we were both...
0:11:58 > 0:12:01To blame. Exactly.
0:12:01 > 0:12:06We were both playing a bit of a game without fully appreciating
0:12:06 > 0:12:08the rules, so I'm sorry.
0:12:08 > 0:12:11No, it took two. Two, yeah.
0:12:11 > 0:12:14Yeah, we were messing with forces beyond our control.
0:12:15 > 0:12:19Do you think we should be feeling guilty or ashamed?
0:12:19 > 0:12:23Well, the relationship between a therapist and a patient
0:12:23 > 0:12:24is a powerful thing.
0:12:24 > 0:12:25Yeah.
0:12:25 > 0:12:27OK. New rule.
0:12:27 > 0:12:29In future, if ever I want to say thank you for helping me,
0:12:29 > 0:12:33I'll just buy you a box of chocolates. Or invite me to lunch.
0:12:33 > 0:12:37But now...we've confronted it, it's out in the open,
0:12:37 > 0:12:41so we can guarantee that it won't happen again.
0:12:41 > 0:12:43Yeah, of course we can.
0:12:43 > 0:12:46There's no reason why we can't be completely professional
0:12:46 > 0:12:47moving forward.
0:12:47 > 0:12:50Oh, my feet are killing me!
0:12:50 > 0:12:52Why don't you sit down, I'll get the drinks.
0:12:52 > 0:12:55Oh, great. I'll just have a water - sparkling. Hi.
0:13:02 > 0:13:04What was up with you earlier? When?
0:13:04 > 0:13:06When you ran out to the car park and nearly sent me flying.
0:13:06 > 0:13:08Oh, sorry. It was nothing.
0:13:08 > 0:13:10It didn't look like nothing.
0:13:12 > 0:13:15Excuse me. A glass of sparkling water over there.
0:13:15 > 0:13:19Emma, I'm really sorry, I forgot to do something.
0:13:19 > 0:13:21I've sorted your water, but I'll see you back at work.
0:13:21 > 0:13:22Oh, all right.
0:13:25 > 0:13:28Hey. Have you got a minute?
0:13:28 > 0:13:30Several. About Thursday?
0:13:30 > 0:13:32Yeah, did you get the e-mail from Thomas Adewole?
0:13:32 > 0:13:35Thomas CPS Lawyer Adewole? Oh, trial preparations.
0:13:35 > 0:13:36They're a waste of time.
0:13:36 > 0:13:40Talking of lawyers, you'll never guess who I saw today.
0:13:40 > 0:13:42Mel Tolt's stepson, Russell.
0:13:42 > 0:13:43You wouldn't want to mess with her.
0:13:43 > 0:13:46Not you as well? I quite like her. Oh, she's a bit icy.
0:13:46 > 0:13:49Have you ever seen her show an emotion? Nobody has.
0:13:49 > 0:13:53I do, I feel sorry for him inheriting her as a mother -
0:13:53 > 0:13:56even if it is Russell Tolt. You know him, then?
0:13:56 > 0:13:58Well, let's just say he's had one or two sleepovers.
0:13:58 > 0:14:02You know, he came a cropper with ketamine even before he'd left school?
0:14:02 > 0:14:05He says he's changed, making an effort. Is that what he told you?
0:14:05 > 0:14:07Yeah. You don't believe him? Well, he was in here last month.
0:14:07 > 0:14:10Drunk and disorderly. Right.
0:14:10 > 0:14:12See you later. See you.
0:14:15 > 0:14:17Is she here? Yeah.
0:14:19 > 0:14:21Eash! Oh!
0:14:22 > 0:14:26No. Too much, over the top?
0:14:26 > 0:14:30I didn't know Amber was coming to see you, but I'm glad you're here.
0:14:30 > 0:14:32I don't know why I'm here.
0:14:34 > 0:14:36Let me put the kettle on. Make you a drink.
0:14:36 > 0:14:39Squash all right? Orange or blackcurrant?
0:14:40 > 0:14:42I really didn't expect you to come.
0:14:42 > 0:14:45I said that to Amber when she got back. Didn't I say that?
0:14:45 > 0:14:48I said, "Thanks for trying, but she won't come."
0:14:48 > 0:14:51At least stay for that drink?
0:14:51 > 0:14:53Please. Ayesha.
0:15:04 > 0:15:07Are you expecting him back soon? I never expect anything of Russell,
0:15:07 > 0:15:10he's much too precious to put under any pressure.
0:15:10 > 0:15:12Earl Grey all right? Oi, oi!
0:15:12 > 0:15:15Talk of the devil and he will appear.
0:15:15 > 0:15:17Oh, here we go. Look at the state of him.
0:15:17 > 0:15:20Look at the state of her.
0:15:20 > 0:15:23Drunk as a skunk and it's not even four o'clock.
0:15:23 > 0:15:25I may be drunk, but at least I'm not ugly.
0:15:25 > 0:15:28I can convince QCs of just about anything,
0:15:28 > 0:15:31but I can't get him to stop drinking.
0:15:31 > 0:15:33Well, in the morning I shall be sober,
0:15:33 > 0:15:35but you will still be ugly.
0:15:35 > 0:15:38Ugly and mean. Unbelievable.
0:15:38 > 0:15:40You're nothing but an underachieving waste of time.
0:15:40 > 0:15:42You two, that's enough.
0:15:42 > 0:15:46Doctor Clay, wild guess, according to number one son here,
0:15:46 > 0:15:48he doesn't drink, doesn't smoke and never even takes an aspirin.
0:15:48 > 0:15:50Am I right?
0:15:50 > 0:15:53My doctor is not going to discuss my consultation with you.
0:15:53 > 0:15:55No, I'm not, but there are a few things
0:15:55 > 0:15:57I'd like to clear up, Russell. You had an appointment today?
0:15:57 > 0:15:59As it happens, I did. Something wrong?
0:15:59 > 0:16:02Did he tell you he has plans and projects?
0:16:02 > 0:16:04She always sounds like she's addressing the bench.
0:16:04 > 0:16:06He has no plans. What plans do you have?
0:16:06 > 0:16:08Let the cross examination commence.
0:16:08 > 0:16:11He has bed, board and pocket money. He's a massive child.
0:16:11 > 0:16:13A leech. That's enough!
0:16:13 > 0:16:16Everybody's running round after poor little Russell!
0:16:16 > 0:16:19Can't anybody else see him for what he is?!
0:16:22 > 0:16:26Don't pour me one, Bren. I'll leave you to it.
0:16:30 > 0:16:32So...?
0:16:33 > 0:16:36I'm sorry for stealing off your boyfriend.
0:16:36 > 0:16:38Ex-boyfriend.
0:16:39 > 0:16:41I'm sorry.
0:16:41 > 0:16:42You said.
0:16:42 > 0:16:44He was decent.
0:16:44 > 0:16:46Whatever. You ruined it.
0:16:46 > 0:16:48I'm sorry you had to lie to the coppers.
0:16:48 > 0:16:52And about the OD, I really can't remember...
0:16:52 > 0:16:54Lucky for you.
0:16:54 > 0:16:56I was in a really bad place, Eesh.
0:16:56 > 0:16:58What I was going through with Ike...
0:16:58 > 0:17:01Oh, sorry, hang on. Where's my violin(?)
0:17:01 > 0:17:04Please...don't be like that.
0:17:04 > 0:17:07Why, why not?
0:17:07 > 0:17:09All you want is sympathy.
0:17:09 > 0:17:12And as always, all you want is to blame someone else.
0:17:12 > 0:17:15When are you going to grow up, Mum?
0:17:16 > 0:17:18It was you. So you can wear your hair up
0:17:18 > 0:17:21and act as together as you like, but it doesn't fool me.
0:17:21 > 0:17:24You did this. It's all your fault.
0:17:27 > 0:17:29Nothing's ever his fault.
0:17:29 > 0:17:31He out of control and it's our problem.
0:17:31 > 0:17:33I don't know how much more of this I can stand.
0:17:33 > 0:17:34Mel, you need to calm down.
0:17:34 > 0:17:38Oh, please! Jack, are you going to allow this farce to continue?
0:17:38 > 0:17:40OK, everyone just take a breath.
0:17:40 > 0:17:42Yeah, calm down.
0:17:43 > 0:17:46Take a breath, Mel.
0:17:46 > 0:17:47This is madness.
0:17:47 > 0:17:49No, she's the one who's mad.
0:17:49 > 0:17:51She attacked me!
0:17:51 > 0:17:52Beat me!
0:17:52 > 0:17:55Didn't you?
0:17:55 > 0:17:56DIDN'T YOU?
0:17:56 > 0:17:58You can't deny it.
0:17:58 > 0:17:59Russell, please!
0:17:59 > 0:18:03Yes, I'm exasperated by how you behave and how you talk to me,
0:18:03 > 0:18:05but I have NEVER hit you!
0:18:05 > 0:18:07She's a liar!
0:18:08 > 0:18:10I dare you to say that I'm making it up.
0:18:10 > 0:18:13I don't need to, it's clear to everyone.
0:18:15 > 0:18:16So what's this?
0:18:24 > 0:18:28I'm glad you're doing better but I can't go through this again.
0:18:28 > 0:18:30Sort it out?
0:18:30 > 0:18:32What do you think about your mum?
0:18:32 > 0:18:34Hasn't she done brilliant?
0:18:34 > 0:18:35I've got to go.
0:18:35 > 0:18:38You've...you've caught up, though, right?
0:18:38 > 0:18:41Bren's told you how brave she's been and how hard she's worked?
0:18:41 > 0:18:43Maybe you'll come and see me again, eh?
0:18:43 > 0:18:45Do you think you might?
0:18:45 > 0:18:47Have you not told her?
0:18:47 > 0:18:50Doesn't matter... Of course it matters!
0:18:50 > 0:18:53Ayesha - your mum is an abuse survivor,
0:18:53 > 0:18:56she's in recovery and she deserves your support.
0:18:56 > 0:18:57I've been here too many times.
0:18:57 > 0:18:59Wow. That's harsh.
0:18:59 > 0:19:02Don't. She's right.
0:19:02 > 0:19:05No. No, she's not. Ike battered your mother.
0:19:05 > 0:19:07Did she tell you that?
0:19:07 > 0:19:09She ended up in a refuge.
0:19:09 > 0:19:12And that refuge saved her life.
0:19:12 > 0:19:16Ike beat her and humiliated her and somehow your mother managed
0:19:16 > 0:19:18to find the strength to get out.
0:19:18 > 0:19:20I'm glad - I really am...
0:19:22 > 0:19:24..but I can't get involved.
0:19:24 > 0:19:26I know that.
0:19:26 > 0:19:30I'm not asking for anything, Ayesha, honest I'm not,
0:19:30 > 0:19:33but please just tell me how the others are.
0:19:34 > 0:19:38I'm not stopping you going, just please...
0:19:39 > 0:19:42Karl's ill, Sierra's thriving, and Debs is busy at work,
0:19:42 > 0:19:45Tracey's making cards as a side-line - life goes on.
0:19:45 > 0:19:47Karl's ill?!
0:19:47 > 0:19:48Chronic fatigue.
0:19:48 > 0:19:53What does that mean? Is he in hospital? Chronic?
0:19:53 > 0:19:55Chronic's bad.
0:19:55 > 0:19:56What about the Army?
0:19:56 > 0:19:59We got him the support he needs but it's going to be a long road.
0:19:59 > 0:20:02"We"? You mean you?
0:20:04 > 0:20:06He's lucky to have you fighting his corner.
0:20:06 > 0:20:08They all are.
0:20:08 > 0:20:11Yeah, well, it was never going to be you, was it?
0:20:13 > 0:20:15The bruising doesn't look very old.
0:20:15 > 0:20:17Do you remember it happening?
0:20:17 > 0:20:19It would have been a bar fight.
0:20:19 > 0:20:22He's got the knack of rubbing other drunks up the wrong way.
0:20:23 > 0:20:26Russell, when did this happen?
0:20:26 > 0:20:30It was...not long ago... couple of days
0:20:30 > 0:20:33but I don't remember getting into a fight.
0:20:33 > 0:20:35It had to be her.
0:20:35 > 0:20:36I should probably go to the police.
0:20:36 > 0:20:38Why not?
0:20:38 > 0:20:41You've already washed your filthy linen in front of Dr Clay,
0:20:41 > 0:20:44why not ruin my reputation with more of my colleagues?
0:20:44 > 0:20:46But you don't know for sure it was Mel who beat you?
0:20:46 > 0:20:48I didn't touch him.
0:20:48 > 0:20:50What about my upset stomach?
0:20:50 > 0:20:53I don't suppose that had anything to do with you, either.
0:20:59 > 0:21:00Don't you want to ask your mum anything?
0:21:05 > 0:21:09How long has it been since you were off your face?
0:21:09 > 0:21:11Nearly four months.
0:21:12 > 0:21:14What made you give it up?
0:21:14 > 0:21:17I decided I didn't want to die.
0:21:17 > 0:21:20I thought that was the next step, the way things were going.
0:21:21 > 0:21:23I got myself to the refuge -
0:21:23 > 0:21:28that's where I met Amber and other amazing women like her.
0:21:28 > 0:21:32Women like me who got themselves out of the gutter,
0:21:32 > 0:21:34turned their lives around.
0:21:36 > 0:21:40Funny how bruises can give you strength.
0:21:42 > 0:21:45But you don't know exactly when you got the bruises?
0:21:45 > 0:21:47I can still go to the police.
0:21:47 > 0:21:48This is not happening.
0:21:48 > 0:21:50What, are you scared now?
0:21:50 > 0:21:52Good!
0:21:53 > 0:21:56I can make it happen, Dad. We can finally get rid of The Evil.
0:21:56 > 0:22:01And then, it's just me and you, Dad, you and me.
0:22:01 > 0:22:02That's enough!
0:22:02 > 0:22:04Jack?
0:22:04 > 0:22:06Say what you like, I've had enough.
0:22:06 > 0:22:09Look, we'll press charges. Get rid of her. You'll see.
0:22:09 > 0:22:11None of this is Mel's fault.
0:22:13 > 0:22:17She's the one who's always nagging, she's always on my case - and yours.
0:22:17 > 0:22:18That's because of us!
0:22:18 > 0:22:20No, it's not.
0:22:20 > 0:22:24We were good...even after Mum...
0:22:24 > 0:22:26We were fine.
0:22:26 > 0:22:27You're wasting your life.
0:22:27 > 0:22:31You're 25 years old. Where was your dignity?
0:22:31 > 0:22:33Dad?
0:22:33 > 0:22:35I'd had enough.
0:22:35 > 0:22:37Look, Dad...
0:22:37 > 0:22:38It was me.
0:22:39 > 0:22:41Your bruises are from my stick.
0:22:47 > 0:22:52I look back and I'm so ashamed.
0:22:54 > 0:22:58I know I've been the worst mum ever, but I can change.
0:23:00 > 0:23:04Trouble is...I've heard it all before.
0:23:04 > 0:23:07I've touched nothing in months!
0:23:08 > 0:23:12Are you seeing anyone? A doctor? A clinic?
0:23:12 > 0:23:14Clean for four months
0:23:14 > 0:23:17and in better shape than anyone could have expected.
0:23:19 > 0:23:21Not going to lie, though,
0:23:21 > 0:23:27some days are really tough, but I've touched nothing in months, I swear.
0:23:29 > 0:23:32How long have you been living here, then?
0:23:32 > 0:23:34Got out of the refuge a couple of months ago.
0:23:34 > 0:23:36She's been with me ever since.
0:23:36 > 0:23:38And you're eating properly?
0:23:38 > 0:23:40Like Amber gives me a choice.
0:23:40 > 0:23:43She's even got me eating green beans.
0:23:48 > 0:23:49What happened, Jack?
0:23:52 > 0:23:56He was so drunk... that he'd passed out.
0:23:56 > 0:23:59Sprawled across this table with his face in the middle of a takeaway.
0:23:59 > 0:24:02He'd...wet himself.
0:24:04 > 0:24:06And I felt disgusted.
0:24:07 > 0:24:09I was angry, I lost my temper.
0:24:09 > 0:24:12And for a moment I felt hopeless.
0:24:14 > 0:24:16I felt like I hated my own son.
0:24:16 > 0:24:18So you beat him with your stick?
0:24:20 > 0:24:22I can't believe I did that, it isn't me.
0:24:24 > 0:24:26Well, this has to stop.
0:24:26 > 0:24:29I know. I'm sorry, Dad.
0:24:32 > 0:24:34Right.
0:24:34 > 0:24:36Don't ever come into my surgery and lie to me ever again,
0:24:36 > 0:24:38you understand?
0:24:38 > 0:24:41Get some help, get yourself clean before it's too late.
0:24:41 > 0:24:43And you know there's never an excuse.
0:24:43 > 0:24:45What can I do? Stop enabling him.
0:24:45 > 0:24:48And you stop antagonising your parents.
0:24:48 > 0:24:51There's much worse families you could be in, trust me.
0:24:51 > 0:24:53Are you serious about writing that book?
0:24:53 > 0:24:55Right, then do it.
0:24:57 > 0:25:00Well, I've just thought up the name of my detective.
0:25:02 > 0:25:05Clayton James. Nobody's laughing, Russell.
0:25:05 > 0:25:07Especially not Mel.
0:25:08 > 0:25:10I'll see myself out.
0:25:14 > 0:25:15KNOCK ON DOOR
0:25:15 > 0:25:17DOOR OPENS
0:25:17 > 0:25:19Wakey-wakey.
0:25:19 > 0:25:21I'm just resting my eyes!
0:25:23 > 0:25:28Surely a pillow would be better than a desk.
0:25:28 > 0:25:30THEY CHUCKLE
0:25:35 > 0:25:37We've been very adult.
0:25:37 > 0:25:40Yeah. We have.
0:25:42 > 0:25:44No more games?
0:25:50 > 0:25:51No more games.
0:25:54 > 0:25:55That would be...
0:25:55 > 0:25:58Unprofessional, unacceptable and...
0:26:00 > 0:26:05Unbuttoning your blouse.
0:26:33 > 0:26:35Have you been sitting here all this time?
0:26:35 > 0:26:39You know, I really hope you do it this time.
0:26:39 > 0:26:41Eesh...
0:26:41 > 0:26:46But I can't be part of it, so please don't try and contact me again.
0:26:49 > 0:26:53Right. Well, good luck.
0:27:12 > 0:27:13There's a high probability.
0:27:13 > 0:27:16But there is still a chance the baby might not have it?
0:27:16 > 0:27:18You have got to do what's right for you.
0:27:18 > 0:27:20And you shouldn't let doctors, or anyone,
0:27:20 > 0:27:23force you into something that you don't want.
0:27:23 > 0:27:25I have decided to tell everything to my therapist.
0:27:25 > 0:27:28And they can take whatever action they see fit.
0:27:28 > 0:27:30Will I have to wear a hat?
0:27:30 > 0:27:32No, not as my chief bridesmaid.
0:27:32 > 0:27:33What?!
0:27:33 > 0:27:34Come here!
0:28:05 > 0:28:07Bennet Drake, my friend.
0:28:09 > 0:28:11We need to trap the beast which killed him.
0:28:11 > 0:28:13Inspector Shine...
0:28:13 > 0:28:17Tear him apart! I want him found! Now!
