0:00:24 > 0:00:27Huh! Come on, mate, I don't have to tell you everything.

0:00:27 > 0:00:28AL: Er...yes, you do.

0:00:28 > 0:00:31Besides, I don't think this is really up your street. Thank you.

0:00:31 > 0:00:33It's a bit too touchy-feely for you.

0:00:33 > 0:00:35I don't know about that.

0:00:35 > 0:00:37I could easily skive off for a day in some plush hotel.

0:00:37 > 0:00:40It would get me away from Hop-Along Pitman.

0:00:40 > 0:00:43I'm not bunking off, and it's not that plush.

0:00:43 > 0:00:46Oh, right. You're about the mindfulness now, aren't you?

0:00:46 > 0:00:50Be mindful of the minibar prices because they will rip you off.

0:00:50 > 0:00:52And I'm presuming you've taken your black light with you?

0:00:52 > 0:00:54Because you're going to want to check out those stains

0:00:54 > 0:00:57- before you settle down for the night.- Huh! Yeah.

0:01:00 > 0:01:02Al, I'm going to have to call you back.

0:01:02 > 0:01:04SHE RETCHES

0:01:04 > 0:01:06Jimmi, I...I-I was only joking about the stains

0:01:08 > 0:01:10SHE COUGHS

0:01:13 > 0:01:15- Morning!- Ah, good morning!

0:01:15 > 0:01:19You are going to miss these beautiful spring mornings

0:01:19 > 0:01:20if you stay so long in bed!

0:01:20 > 0:01:23- All I miss is you.- Behave!

0:01:23 > 0:01:24Hm!

0:01:25 > 0:01:28You are not getting ready for work?

0:01:28 > 0:01:30Is this to do with Sergeant Hollins?

0:01:30 > 0:01:33- The best way to deal with... - The shifts have changed.

0:01:33 > 0:01:35Last-minute thing.

0:01:35 > 0:01:37- I thought I could do a few things around here.- Ah.

0:01:37 > 0:01:39Sort out that leaky sink, for a start.

0:01:39 > 0:01:42- Oh, my goodness!- It's only a leak.

0:01:42 > 0:01:44No, no, it is not that! Come!

0:01:45 > 0:01:46Read!

0:01:47 > 0:01:49- Eh! - THEY CHUCKLE

0:01:51 > 0:01:53Right, er...there you go.

0:02:00 > 0:02:01Do you feel a bit better?

0:02:03 > 0:02:06You should, um...you should keep drinking, just for now.

0:02:06 > 0:02:09And maybe we should start with some basics, like, er...what's your name?

0:02:09 > 0:02:12Genevieve. Genny. Rickett.

0:02:12 > 0:02:14OK, Genny, how did you get here?

0:02:16 > 0:02:19- Maid lady left the door open. - Housekeeping?

0:02:21 > 0:02:23So, were you staying here before?

0:02:24 > 0:02:27- Is this The Brindley?- Hm! No.

0:02:27 > 0:02:30Then no. No idea how I got here, then.

0:02:30 > 0:02:32Right.

0:02:32 > 0:02:35- Are you on your own?- Tapas.

0:02:35 > 0:02:37No, I think you should just stick to liquids.

0:02:37 > 0:02:39No, we went out for tapas.

0:02:39 > 0:02:41Oh, right. Last night?

0:02:41 > 0:02:43- Sabotage!- Sorry, what?

0:02:43 > 0:02:45They did this to me, got me like this!

0:02:45 > 0:02:48- Who's they? - Amanda, the other swimmers.

0:02:48 > 0:02:51The final is today. We were out for dinner and they got me like this!

0:02:51 > 0:02:53Those cheats!

0:02:54 > 0:02:56Wh...Where's my stuff?

0:02:56 > 0:03:00My kit? My phone? My purse?!

0:03:03 > 0:03:05It's not until next month!

0:03:05 > 0:03:09Yes, which gives us plenty of time to plan and perfect.

0:03:09 > 0:03:10And you are going to help.

0:03:10 > 0:03:13Yeah. Well up for a bit of taste-testing.

0:03:13 > 0:03:16This is not for you to have a free lunch!

0:03:16 > 0:03:18No, we need to think about this very carefully.

0:03:18 > 0:03:22What is important. You know, expense, taste, nutrition?

0:03:22 > 0:03:24You should make Arctic roll. I love that.

0:03:24 > 0:03:27No. I need you to start thinking about menu ideas.

0:03:28 > 0:03:31I want to present to the hospital board

0:03:31 > 0:03:33a food plan that I truly believe in.

0:03:34 > 0:03:36This is our chance to seize the moment!

0:03:37 > 0:03:41But, first, I need to get to work.

0:03:41 > 0:03:43- Mwah!- Ah!- Couldn't resist.

0:03:43 > 0:03:45Call it a down payment for fixing the sink.

0:03:45 > 0:03:48Right. Well, I will see you this evening.

0:03:57 > 0:03:59All right? You up?

0:04:00 > 0:04:03Right. Well, get over here, she's gone.

0:04:03 > 0:04:04And be discreet!

0:04:22 > 0:04:24- (Hey.)- Five more minutes.

0:04:24 > 0:04:27You can stay there as long as you want.

0:04:27 > 0:04:29I just wish I got you home sooner.

0:04:30 > 0:04:31I'm here now.

0:04:32 > 0:04:35- Brought you a cuppa.- Thanks.

0:04:36 > 0:04:38Right, well, I'm off to work.

0:04:38 > 0:04:41- You just rest. Put on the telly, whatever you want.- OK!

0:04:42 > 0:04:44If you need anything, just call me, yeah?

0:04:44 > 0:04:46- I'll keep my phone on me... - You don't have to babysit.

0:04:48 > 0:04:49It's no problem.

0:04:51 > 0:04:52I'm sorry.

0:04:56 > 0:04:58I just don't want to be a pain.

0:04:58 > 0:04:59It's cool.

0:04:59 > 0:05:02When you're back on your feet, you can make it up to me, yeah?

0:05:02 > 0:05:04If I ever do get better.

0:05:06 > 0:05:09Anyway, your phone's on charge. I'll check in on you later. See you.

0:05:20 > 0:05:22- Good morning.- Hiya!

0:05:22 > 0:05:24Er...lovely day.

0:05:26 > 0:05:29Yes, yes, it is.

0:05:29 > 0:05:33- Well, I'd better get on.- Only me!

0:05:33 > 0:05:36Oh, Mrs Tembe, I love it!

0:05:36 > 0:05:38I...love it!

0:05:38 > 0:05:39I feel like Jayne Torvill.

0:05:39 > 0:05:42- Ooo, I'm so sorry!- It is not a BMX.

0:05:42 > 0:05:45Oh, I never could get the hang of reversing around a corner.

0:05:45 > 0:05:46I need wing mirrors!

0:05:46 > 0:05:48You need L-plates for that thing.

0:05:48 > 0:05:50I nearly got it. There!

0:05:50 > 0:05:52- VALERIE RINGS BELL - Thanks.

0:05:54 > 0:05:57Er...it doesn't look as if anyone's handed anything in there.

0:05:57 > 0:06:00That was The Brindley. My stuff's not there, I never checked in.

0:06:00 > 0:06:02- Do you want to ring your parents? - Not really.

0:06:03 > 0:06:05I could kill her!

0:06:06 > 0:06:09Are you sure you didn't lose your stuff? You were pretty out of it.

0:06:09 > 0:06:11Because they got me drunk!

0:06:12 > 0:06:15I'm favourite to win, you know. County gold.

0:06:15 > 0:06:18And that Amanda Connor has had it in for me ever since the semis.

0:06:18 > 0:06:21Maybe you should just go back...

0:06:21 > 0:06:24Hey. Um...maybe you should just go back over the places you were last night

0:06:24 > 0:06:25and see if anyone's handed it in there.

0:06:25 > 0:06:29- Can you help me? - Well, I'm really busy today,

0:06:29 > 0:06:32- I'm supposed to be doing a talk... - I don't know Birmingham at all.

0:06:32 > 0:06:34And I haven't got a phone to look anything up.

0:06:34 > 0:06:36I can't even remember the place we ate.

0:06:37 > 0:06:39Please!

0:06:39 > 0:06:42I didn't get a cab or anything, so I'm sure it's just walking distance.

0:06:42 > 0:06:45I don't have anyone else here.

0:06:45 > 0:06:47I promise you, this isn't my fault.

0:06:49 > 0:06:50Pl-e-a-s-e?

0:06:50 > 0:06:52Huh.

0:06:53 > 0:06:56Thing is, Amanda's finished second to me three years in a row now,

0:06:56 > 0:06:59so I can see why she'd be the mastermind behind something like this.

0:06:59 > 0:07:01- Does any of this look familiar? - A bit.

0:07:01 > 0:07:04Everyone thinks she's cool, for some reason.

0:07:04 > 0:07:07Maybe it's the haircut or something, but I don't see it.

0:07:07 > 0:07:10She doesn't take any of this seriously.

0:07:10 > 0:07:12Is that what passes for cool - indifference?

0:07:12 > 0:07:15Do you remember anything about the name of this place?

0:07:15 > 0:07:18I don't know. I don't normally do this sort of thing.

0:07:18 > 0:07:20I don't waste time trying to be cool

0:07:20 > 0:07:22when I could get on with being good at something instead.

0:07:22 > 0:07:26If it's not this place, we're going to have to rethink the whole tapas theory.

0:07:26 > 0:07:27- Um...maybe.- Genny!

0:07:28 > 0:07:31- You thief!- What?!

0:07:31 > 0:07:33- That's my bag!- Yeah, I know.

0:07:33 > 0:07:35- You stole it!- Wait! What?

0:07:37 > 0:07:40Oi! Get off me! What's going on?!

0:07:40 > 0:07:42BELL RINGS

0:07:49 > 0:07:51BELL RINGS

0:07:51 > 0:07:54Bet you thought you'd heard the last of the bell ringing.

0:07:54 > 0:07:56Yes, well, I had hoped.

0:07:56 > 0:07:59Maybe we should give her a proper paper round.

0:07:59 > 0:08:01Have you got any post that needs delivering?

0:08:01 > 0:08:03I think it is the best for Letherbridge

0:08:03 > 0:08:05if we try to confine her here.

0:08:05 > 0:08:06KAREN CHUCKLES

0:08:06 > 0:08:09Yeah, it'd be chaos before she got to the overpass.

0:08:09 > 0:08:12Rob's got enough on his hands as it is,

0:08:12 > 0:08:14without somebody trying to blow up our Valerie.

0:08:16 > 0:08:17And what is that supposed to mean?

0:08:19 > 0:08:21- Nothing.- No, please, do tell.

0:08:21 > 0:08:24Honestly, nothing. Why are you so touchy?

0:08:24 > 0:08:26If this is another dig at JJ,

0:08:26 > 0:08:28you need to keep your nose out of it!

0:08:28 > 0:08:33He's innocent, and Sergeant Hollins was completely wrong to try to question him!

0:08:33 > 0:08:35I think you'll find that Rob knows exactly what he's doing

0:08:35 > 0:08:37and who he needs to speak to, thank you!

0:08:37 > 0:08:39What Sergeant Hollins did

0:08:39 > 0:08:41is insult an innocent man!

0:08:41 > 0:08:44Just because you're bonking him doesn't mean Rob has to give him,

0:08:44 > 0:08:45or anyone else, a free pass!

0:08:53 > 0:08:54MRS TEMBE SIGHS

0:08:57 > 0:08:59I swear, I came back here to look for you!

0:08:59 > 0:09:01I picked that up last night and I wanted to get it back.

0:09:01 > 0:09:04- You could've gone to the pool. - I would've done eventually, this is on the way!

0:09:04 > 0:09:06None of us know what happened to you.

0:09:06 > 0:09:08- And whose fault was that?- Not mine!

0:09:08 > 0:09:11You got wasted all on your own, I tried to get you to stop!

0:09:11 > 0:09:13- That's a lie!- Look, could you just look inside the bag,

0:09:13 > 0:09:15see if your phone and your purse are there?

0:09:15 > 0:09:17Because I've really got to get on.

0:09:17 > 0:09:18- Who are you, anyway? - A decent person.

0:09:18 > 0:09:21- I'm sure you wouldn't know what they look like.- Get lost, Genny!

0:09:21 > 0:09:22Where's my phone?!

0:09:22 > 0:09:26Maybe you should try asking inside, in case you left it in there.

0:09:32 > 0:09:33So, you're a swimmer as well, then?

0:09:40 > 0:09:41BANGING

0:09:48 > 0:09:49Oosh!

0:09:51 > 0:09:53You made me jump out of my skin!

0:09:53 > 0:09:54Well, you said be discreet.

0:09:54 > 0:09:56Yeah, well... Come on in, quick.

0:09:56 > 0:09:59- You look a right state. - Thanks, mate. Cheers.

0:09:59 > 0:10:01JJ EXHALES

0:10:01 > 0:10:03You can leave her with me, if you want.

0:10:03 > 0:10:06I don't know what she's said, but I'm not going to hurt her.

0:10:06 > 0:10:08She'd do herself in first, probably.

0:10:08 > 0:10:09Ha!

0:10:09 > 0:10:12See? Told you I didn't nick it.

0:10:12 > 0:10:14Funny, that. For someone claiming to be such a good friend,

0:10:14 > 0:10:18how comes your last message to me was, "Go to hell, you stupid cow"?

0:10:18 > 0:10:21- That's a bit harsh. - I don't remember sending that one.

0:10:21 > 0:10:23Listen, um...anyway, I've got to go, OK?

0:10:23 > 0:10:25I'm really glad you got your stuff back

0:10:25 > 0:10:27and I hope everything works out for you.

0:10:27 > 0:10:29And if Amanda did set you up, you should probably tell your coach.

0:10:29 > 0:10:31Yeah. Yeah!

0:10:31 > 0:10:34Wait a second, tell my coach what now?

0:10:34 > 0:10:36- Anyway, see you.- Thank you!

0:10:38 > 0:10:40I swear, mate, I had no idea.

0:10:41 > 0:10:45Do you think I'd have sold those canisters if I'd have known they'd be anywhere near this?

0:10:45 > 0:10:46There's a lot of heat, you know that?

0:10:46 > 0:10:49Had them sniffing around me, asking questions.

0:10:49 > 0:10:51You kept quiet, though, yeah?

0:10:51 > 0:10:52You know I did.

0:10:54 > 0:10:56I'm not sure who I'd rather have on my back,

0:10:56 > 0:10:59the cops, or...the other fella.

0:10:59 > 0:11:01I don't even want to think about it.

0:11:02 > 0:11:04Right, turn it on.

0:11:04 > 0:11:06Off! Off!

0:11:06 > 0:11:07JJ SIGHS

0:11:10 > 0:11:13Look, I'm going to have to go out and get some more parts.

0:11:13 > 0:11:16Well, I can't be seen out there, mate. Too dangerous.

0:11:18 > 0:11:21- Oh, um...I was wondering...- What?

0:11:21 > 0:11:25I'm sure you've smelt me. I need a shower, mate.

0:11:25 > 0:11:26No chance.

0:11:26 > 0:11:27Open a window or something.

0:11:27 > 0:11:31I just need you to sit tight and don't open the door to anyone.

0:11:32 > 0:11:33I shouldn't be too long.

0:11:37 > 0:11:39If Mr Glenn doesn't stop picking his nose,

0:11:39 > 0:11:41I'm going to glue his nostrils together.

0:11:41 > 0:11:43EMMA CHUCKLES

0:11:43 > 0:11:44OK, who's been at my squash?

0:11:44 > 0:11:46And who leaves just this tiny little amount?

0:11:51 > 0:11:52Rough day?

0:11:52 > 0:11:54Sorry. Just nerves.

0:11:54 > 0:11:56Here.

0:11:56 > 0:11:59- It'll take more than a biscuit. - Oh, well, have two.

0:11:59 > 0:12:01Thanks.

0:12:04 > 0:12:05Is it Karl?

0:12:05 > 0:12:08Yeah. He's due back with the army in a few days

0:12:08 > 0:12:11and I honestly don't know if he'll be back up on his feet by then.

0:12:11 > 0:12:13CFS isn't something you just get over.

0:12:13 > 0:12:15And recovery isn't always possible either.

0:12:15 > 0:12:19I'm sure he just needs a proper rest in a comfy bed. He'll be fine.

0:12:21 > 0:12:23Why are you even following me?

0:12:23 > 0:12:24Go fall in a canal or something.

0:12:24 > 0:12:27What happened to you last night? Did you see all my messages?

0:12:27 > 0:12:29I don't care. Leave me alone.

0:12:29 > 0:12:30What were you doing with that old dude?

0:12:30 > 0:12:34Who? Jimmi? He's not an old dude.

0:12:34 > 0:12:36He's a doctor, and he's very nice.

0:12:36 > 0:12:38He picked you up? Don't you think that's weird?

0:12:38 > 0:12:40He didn't pick me up, I was in his hotel room.

0:12:40 > 0:12:42Not like that!

0:12:42 > 0:12:45I woke up at The Crawfordton, out in the corridor.

0:12:45 > 0:12:48I thought I was at my hotel and I looked for my room.

0:12:48 > 0:12:51I didn't want the maid to see me, so I hid,

0:12:51 > 0:12:53and when she left, I slipped in.

0:12:53 > 0:12:54But it turned out it was his room.

0:12:54 > 0:12:58He's not some creep, OK? He's doing a talk there.

0:12:58 > 0:12:59And he's a nice guy and a good doctor,

0:12:59 > 0:13:02and he wanted to help me, which is more than any of you managed.

0:13:02 > 0:13:04You really think I did this to you?

0:13:04 > 0:13:06I don't care any more.

0:13:06 > 0:13:08I just want to get ready.

0:13:08 > 0:13:10I want to thrash you and take home gold.

0:13:23 > 0:13:25..cared for. Patients want to be cared for, not just treated.

0:13:25 > 0:13:27Compassion is the key to our industry...

0:13:27 > 0:13:30So, what kind of doctor are you?

0:13:30 > 0:13:32- Excuse me?- I'm Amanda, we just met.

0:13:32 > 0:13:34Yeah, I know who you are.

0:13:34 > 0:13:37So? Are you a doctor-doctor, or some kind of professor, or...

0:13:37 > 0:13:40Um...I'm a GP and an FME.

0:13:40 > 0:13:43- A what?- A Forensic Medical Examiner. It's for the police.

0:13:43 > 0:13:47Does that mean you solve crimes? Is that why you were helping Genny?

0:13:47 > 0:13:50I don't solve crimes, no, but, um...

0:13:50 > 0:13:52Is there's something I can do for you?

0:13:52 > 0:13:55I know you think I tried to ruin Genny's chances, OK, but I didn't, I swear.

0:13:55 > 0:13:57The text was pretty aggressive.

0:13:57 > 0:14:00That's because I spent all night trying to stop her from drinking,

0:14:00 > 0:14:02and, yeah, I ended up being pretty angry with her.

0:14:02 > 0:14:05She just dumped her stuff on us and went off on a bender.

0:14:05 > 0:14:07Yeah, OK, one text was angry,

0:14:07 > 0:14:09but look how many I'd sent before that.

0:14:09 > 0:14:11If you're a doctor, then help.

0:14:11 > 0:14:13I don't know what to do.

0:14:13 > 0:14:15It's not just one night,

0:14:15 > 0:14:17it's pretty much every night I've seen her out,

0:14:17 > 0:14:19but last night was really the worst.

0:14:19 > 0:14:21I'm worried about her. Please!

0:14:21 > 0:14:23Look, I'm sorry, I've got to get ready for this seminar.

0:14:23 > 0:14:27If you are worried about her, maybe you should speak to someone who's closer to Genny,

0:14:27 > 0:14:29like, er...her parents, or her coach.

0:14:38 > 0:14:40Just pop them in the basket. Thank you.

0:14:40 > 0:14:42- Anything else?- No.

0:14:42 > 0:14:45Er... Oh! I, er...I just need a quick word with Sister Hanif.

0:14:45 > 0:14:48Right, Mrs Tembe, I will get out of your way.

0:14:48 > 0:14:49I've got this, actually.

0:14:49 > 0:14:51Ooo, OK.

0:14:51 > 0:14:53I should have one of those things they have on lorries.

0:14:53 > 0:14:57Beep! Beep! Beep! Vehicle reversing!

0:14:57 > 0:14:59Beep! Beep! Beep!

0:14:59 > 0:15:01Yeah, got it. Nailed it.

0:15:02 > 0:15:06Look, I just need to pick your brain about hospital food.

0:15:06 > 0:15:08You're not due back at St Phil's, are you?

0:15:08 > 0:15:11Oh, no, no. I have been asked to present my ideas

0:15:11 > 0:15:13about improving hospital catering.

0:15:13 > 0:15:15Oh, yeah! Finally!

0:15:15 > 0:15:17Well, good luck with that.

0:15:17 > 0:15:20Why, do you think it's going to be difficult?

0:15:20 > 0:15:25Well, I've seen lots of schemes and initiatives try and fail, sadly.

0:15:25 > 0:15:28Lots of gimmicky ideas. That's not what's needed. Huh!

0:15:28 > 0:15:30So, what do YOU think is missing?

0:15:30 > 0:15:32Er...missing?

0:15:32 > 0:15:36Well, just some thought about who's actually eating the food.

0:15:36 > 0:15:38We get all sorts in hospitals.

0:15:38 > 0:15:41We get patients, breast-feeding mums, for example,

0:15:41 > 0:15:44and, well, I've yet to see someone put some serious effort

0:15:44 > 0:15:49into making sure everyone gets what they need, nutrition-wise.

0:15:49 > 0:15:50Mm.

0:15:50 > 0:15:54Look, could I run some ideas past you later?

0:15:54 > 0:15:56Yeah. I could lend a hand, sure.

0:15:56 > 0:15:59Right, thank you. Er...thank you!

0:15:59 > 0:16:01Oh! Er...

0:16:01 > 0:16:03Yep. Ooo!

0:16:03 > 0:16:06Gently. Er...no, hang on. Um...

0:16:07 > 0:16:09Oh!

0:16:09 > 0:16:11Almost. Um...

0:16:11 > 0:16:14ANSWERPHONE: All right? JJ here. Leave a message.

0:16:14 > 0:16:16Er...hi, it is, er...it is just me.

0:16:16 > 0:16:19I have decided to come home for lunch.

0:16:19 > 0:16:21I will see you later. Bye.

0:16:21 > 0:16:23Oh! Nearly there.

0:16:25 > 0:16:27- There we go!- Yay!

0:16:27 > 0:16:30So, er...the talk should take about 20 minutes, um...

0:16:30 > 0:16:33and then I'm going to open the floor for questions.

0:16:33 > 0:16:36All in all, hopefully, the whole thing should be done by about...

0:16:36 > 0:16:38What's she been saying? Why are the police involved?

0:16:38 > 0:16:40- Sorry? What?- He's a police doctor.

0:16:40 > 0:16:42- Are you?- Er...yeah, I am, but...

0:16:42 > 0:16:44So if I really did spike your drink and set you up,

0:16:44 > 0:16:46we should probably get the law involved.

0:16:46 > 0:16:48I mean, that's illegal, right?

0:16:48 > 0:16:50- Yes, but...- It's much more important than some race.

0:16:50 > 0:16:52If we're coercing you, bullying,

0:16:52 > 0:16:54you should probably get the law on us.

0:16:54 > 0:16:56I mean, I stole your bag, right? That's what you said.

0:16:56 > 0:16:58Yeah, you did.

0:16:58 > 0:17:02- Right, then, Dr Policeman, what should she do?- Well, no, I...

0:17:02 > 0:17:05If I did steal your bag and did get you drunk, that's criminal, right?

0:17:07 > 0:17:09I...I'm sorry about this, I just...

0:17:09 > 0:17:10I'll catch you inside.

0:17:10 > 0:17:12OK.

0:17:16 > 0:17:18Right, um...I don't really enforce the law,

0:17:18 > 0:17:20but I think you're right, maybe this is a matter for the police.

0:17:20 > 0:17:22Cool. Let's give them a ring.

0:17:22 > 0:17:24- Wait!- What?

0:17:24 > 0:17:26You're doing it now, you're ganging up on me!

0:17:26 > 0:17:28I'm not ganging up on you, I'm just saying...

0:17:28 > 0:17:29I don't know that...

0:17:29 > 0:17:32that it definitely happened like that.

0:17:32 > 0:17:35I was confused. You can't expect me to remember the whole thing!

0:17:35 > 0:17:37You saw what I was like!

0:17:37 > 0:17:40Please, don't call the police. My parents would...

0:17:40 > 0:17:42I'm sorry, OK? I'm sorry!

0:17:42 > 0:17:46OK, look, you haven't done anything wrong.

0:17:46 > 0:17:49I'm on your side, but I think it's probably best that you're honest,

0:17:49 > 0:17:53so, um...what's going on here?

0:17:55 > 0:17:57No idea. I can't make any sense of it, maybe you can.

0:17:57 > 0:18:00OK, chronic fatigue syndrome. What exactly are you stuck on?

0:18:00 > 0:18:02Everything. It's not the Dark Ages, is it?

0:18:02 > 0:18:05Yet it doesn't look like anyone can actually agree on what it is.

0:18:05 > 0:18:07Right. Well, you have to understand

0:18:07 > 0:18:10that medical opinion is often just that - opinion.

0:18:10 > 0:18:13CFS, ME, opinions vary wildly.

0:18:13 > 0:18:15Often, the only way of achieving a diagnosis

0:18:15 > 0:18:17is by ruling out other conditions.

0:18:17 > 0:18:20That's just the way it is, I'm afraid.

0:18:20 > 0:18:22There's no one cure-all approach.

0:18:22 > 0:18:24So, what you're really saying is no-one knows what it is

0:18:24 > 0:18:26and you can't tell me what to do about it?

0:18:26 > 0:18:29Well, there's some evidence that CFS

0:18:29 > 0:18:32in young children responds to CBT,

0:18:32 > 0:18:34but not everybody's happy with that.

0:18:34 > 0:18:36- I'm not happy with any of it.- Mm.

0:18:36 > 0:18:39I didn't think you'd help if it was all my fault.

0:18:39 > 0:18:41People don't really...

0:18:42 > 0:18:44They don't help.

0:18:44 > 0:18:46That still doesn't explain why you ended up like you did.

0:18:46 > 0:18:49I don't know, I just wanted to have a good time.

0:18:49 > 0:18:51These things...

0:18:51 > 0:18:53I don't get to go out much.

0:18:53 > 0:18:57It's a bit of freedom and a chance to meet up with everyone else.

0:18:57 > 0:18:59Amanda and all the others, they've all got stuff to talk about.

0:18:59 > 0:19:02They do stuff. And I'm on my own.

0:19:02 > 0:19:05We're not doing it on purpose, I'm just mates with them.

0:19:05 > 0:19:06I know. I just...

0:19:07 > 0:19:10I feel more like having fun if I've had a drink

0:19:10 > 0:19:12and I'm not thinking about the race,

0:19:12 > 0:19:15or the fact no-one ever comes to watch me.

0:19:16 > 0:19:18I don't think about how nobody cares.

0:19:18 > 0:19:22If I didn't care, why would I spend the whole day chasing after you?

0:19:22 > 0:19:25Look, this is the kind of thing you need to really talk about

0:19:25 > 0:19:27with people who are close to you, like your parents.

0:19:27 > 0:19:30Ha! Father might send me a text message

0:19:30 > 0:19:32from whatever business trip he's on, and Mother...

0:19:34 > 0:19:37..she doesn't want to slum it in a "frightful public pool"!

0:19:37 > 0:19:38She thinks cheering is common.

0:19:40 > 0:19:41How about your GP?

0:19:41 > 0:19:43It was just a messy night and a bit of a hangover.

0:19:43 > 0:19:45It's not something I'll do again.

0:19:45 > 0:19:48Do you have any idea how lucky you were last night?

0:19:48 > 0:19:50The state you were in, you were very vulnerable.

0:19:50 > 0:19:51I know what I'm doing.

0:19:51 > 0:19:54No, you don't. I've heard that so many times.

0:19:54 > 0:19:57Do you know, the other one that I hear a lot is, er...

0:19:57 > 0:19:58"I don't have a problem".

0:19:58 > 0:20:00- But I don't have a problem.- No? OK.

0:20:00 > 0:20:03Then tell me what happened from the time you left the restaurant

0:20:03 > 0:20:04to when you ended up in my hotel.

0:20:06 > 0:20:08- I don't know. - Doesn't that worry you?

0:20:08 > 0:20:10Because it worries me, it worries Amanda.

0:20:10 > 0:20:12Think of what could have happened to you in a blacked-out state.

0:20:12 > 0:20:16Anyone could have picked you up on the way home, or even in the hotel room.

0:20:16 > 0:20:18So, you think I need help?

0:20:18 > 0:20:20I don't know, you tell me.

0:20:20 > 0:20:21Or better still, tell your friend.

0:20:25 > 0:20:27We should get going. I'll call a cab.

0:20:27 > 0:20:28OK.

0:20:28 > 0:20:30I'm...

0:20:31 > 0:20:35..I'm sorry I lied to you and I hope your talk goes well.

0:20:35 > 0:20:37Thank you. And it's fine.

0:20:37 > 0:20:39Listen, good luck with your race.

0:20:39 > 0:20:41Look after yourself, OK?

0:20:48 > 0:20:50MESSAGE ALERT

0:20:53 > 0:20:55- MRS TEMBE: - Hi. It is, er...it is just me.

0:20:55 > 0:21:00I have decided to come home for lunch. I will see you later. Bye.

0:21:04 > 0:21:06Checking up on me?

0:21:06 > 0:21:09Heston mentioned that you might be a little upset.

0:21:09 > 0:21:11Yeah. I've been mardy all morning, haven't I?

0:21:11 > 0:21:13Don't worry about it, we all have our moments.

0:21:13 > 0:21:16The whole thing's just so frustrating.

0:21:16 > 0:21:19Like you said, if it is CFS, then recovery's not always possible.

0:21:19 > 0:21:20So, how do they manage it, then?

0:21:20 > 0:21:23Are there drugs that help, or do they just have to suffer?

0:21:23 > 0:21:25Heston mentioned CBT for kids with it,

0:21:25 > 0:21:28but we don't even know that it is CFS!

0:21:28 > 0:21:31I want somebody to say, this is what it is, this is what causes it

0:21:31 > 0:21:33and this is what we do about it.

0:21:33 > 0:21:36Medicine is never that perfect, I'm afraid.

0:21:36 > 0:21:39Doesn't stop me wanting to scream at everyone, though.

0:21:39 > 0:21:43- Look, you've read up about it, right?- Yeah.

0:21:43 > 0:21:47So, what's your take on it? I mean, you're the one who's up-close.

0:21:49 > 0:21:52Maybe you should listen to your opinions instead of everyone else's.

0:21:52 > 0:21:54Maybe that's the problem.

0:21:59 > 0:22:02- I'm really sorry I tried to pin it all on you.- I know.

0:22:02 > 0:22:05I feel sorry for that poor doctor, though, the looks he was getting.

0:22:05 > 0:22:07- Do you think he really hated us? - Nah!

0:22:07 > 0:22:10It'll be a funny story when he goes back to work. Hi!

0:22:10 > 0:22:12Probably a right boring life most of the time.

0:22:12 > 0:22:14- I'm the highlight of his day? - Yeah, I reckon so.

0:22:14 > 0:22:17Amanda! Hey!

0:22:17 > 0:22:19- I'll see you in there.- Yeah.

0:22:28 > 0:22:30Dr Clay?

0:22:37 > 0:22:38HE EXHALES

0:22:38 > 0:22:40HE HUMS A TUNE

0:22:55 > 0:22:56DOOR OPENS

0:22:59 > 0:23:01JJ, mate! Hope you don't mind, but, er...

0:23:01 > 0:23:03I've helped myself to, er...

0:23:05 > 0:23:07Who the devil are you?!

0:23:10 > 0:23:12- Ah...- Oh!

0:23:13 > 0:23:17- TANNOY:- Would Genevieve Rickett please report to the stewards' desk.

0:23:17 > 0:23:20That's Genevieve Rickett,

0:23:20 > 0:23:23please report to the stewards' desk immediately.

0:23:26 > 0:23:28Come on!

0:23:28 > 0:23:30Don't recognise your own name?

0:23:31 > 0:23:32I'm not going to win by default.

0:23:32 > 0:23:35- You need to be in the pool when I beat you.- You wish!

0:23:35 > 0:23:38And I'm not having you blame it on a hangover either.

0:23:39 > 0:23:41It's all right. You look good in silver.

0:23:41 > 0:23:42THEY CHUCKLE

0:23:49 > 0:23:51THEY GRUNT

0:23:51 > 0:23:54He's told me so much about you, and I can see why!

0:23:54 > 0:23:56You seem like a really lovely, lovely lady!

0:23:57 > 0:24:01It...it really isn't as bad as it looks.

0:24:01 > 0:24:04Just...just give us a minute and let me throw my pants on.

0:24:04 > 0:24:07Don't you dare move. You are a naked fugitive!

0:24:07 > 0:24:10I don't want to get JJ in trouble or anything!

0:24:10 > 0:24:13He needed to keep his mouth shut!

0:24:13 > 0:24:15And he said that you are a really sweet bird.

0:24:15 > 0:24:19I am not sweet and I am certainly not a bird!

0:24:19 > 0:24:21Burt! Mate!

0:24:21 > 0:24:23I'm going to need you to keep a low profile,

0:24:23 > 0:24:25at least until I've had a chance to...

0:24:26 > 0:24:28A chance to what?

0:24:30 > 0:24:31Explain things to you.

0:24:31 > 0:24:35Well, you'd better start talking, or I am going to call the police!

0:24:43 > 0:24:45Home-made cheese and pickle.

0:24:45 > 0:24:46- Pickle?- Yeah.

0:24:48 > 0:24:49So, how you feeling?

0:24:49 > 0:24:51My hands hurt.

0:24:53 > 0:24:54My throat, too.

0:24:54 > 0:24:57Right, well, let's get this inside you, then.

0:24:57 > 0:24:59- Come on, get up.- No, please.

0:24:59 > 0:25:01- Come on.- No, look, I'm trying!

0:25:01 > 0:25:02I know.

0:25:08 > 0:25:10Here.

0:25:11 > 0:25:13HE SIGHS

0:25:18 > 0:25:20- JJ:- I promise you, I'm not involved.

0:25:20 > 0:25:22But your friend is!

0:25:22 > 0:25:24And you knew where he was!

0:25:24 > 0:25:27You need to understand, the fella that's behind all this,

0:25:27 > 0:25:29he's a lot more trouble than the police.

0:25:29 > 0:25:31And the police can look after themselves.

0:25:31 > 0:25:33I don't need to stick my neck out.

0:25:33 > 0:25:36Look, you seem like a smart girl, right...

0:25:36 > 0:25:38I've been telling him what a good soul you are.

0:25:38 > 0:25:42- You wouldn't throw him to the lions, would you?- Really?

0:25:42 > 0:25:44He'll be gone by six. His cousin's picking him up.

0:25:45 > 0:25:48I'm really sorry, I didn't want you involved.

0:25:48 > 0:25:51I just needed to have a few hours off the street, that's all.

0:25:51 > 0:25:53As soon as our Richie turns up with the van, I'm off.

0:25:53 > 0:25:55Away from this whole mess.

0:25:55 > 0:25:57Taking it far away from you guys, too.

0:25:59 > 0:26:01Hopefully.

0:26:01 > 0:26:03I know it's a lot to ask.

0:26:03 > 0:26:06It just needs to be our little secret for now.

0:26:06 > 0:26:08Absolutely not!

0:26:08 > 0:26:11I am, and have always been, a law-abiding citizen!

0:26:13 > 0:26:15You wouldn't snitch on him?

0:26:15 > 0:26:17Please, don't go to the police.

0:26:21 > 0:26:22I will not.

0:26:22 > 0:26:24HE EXHALES

0:26:24 > 0:26:26But you will.

0:26:26 > 0:26:29And if you do not, I can assure you,

0:26:29 > 0:26:31it will be the end of me and you.

0:26:38 > 0:26:41- I'm useless.- No, you're not.

0:26:41 > 0:26:43I've blown it, haven't I?

0:26:43 > 0:26:45- Where have you been?! - Giving Valerie a lift.

0:26:45 > 0:26:47Maybe we should stay here overnight,

0:26:47 > 0:26:49or get her to move in with us until she gets better.

0:26:49 > 0:26:52(Er...see that woman over there? Don't look.)

0:26:52 > 0:26:53How much longer do I have to sit here?!

0:26:57 > 0:26:59I'm sorry.
