0:00:42 > 0:00:43We don't have to go yet.

0:00:43 > 0:00:45Just want to allow plenty of time.

0:00:45 > 0:00:47Because reasons?

0:00:47 > 0:00:48That's what I say.

0:00:48 > 0:00:50I know. I'm the reason.

0:00:50 > 0:00:52It's a new place.

0:00:52 > 0:00:56Pretty sure I know where it is, but just in case.

0:00:56 > 0:00:59I was thinking...back in the '90s,

0:00:59 > 0:01:02everyone was talking about sick building syndrome.

0:01:02 > 0:01:08- Everyone, Suki.- OK, deep breath. This isn't the '90s.

0:01:08 > 0:01:12And don't forget - new building, but...?

0:01:12 > 0:01:13Familiar face.

0:01:13 > 0:01:15Bang on, babe!

0:01:15 > 0:01:16And I'll be there, too.

0:01:18 > 0:01:22I will be brief as this is your lunch break. Mrs Hollins,

0:01:22 > 0:01:24would you not like to take a seat?

0:01:24 > 0:01:30- No, I'll stop here. Megan's expecting another patient.- Ah. Fine.

0:01:30 > 0:01:35Did you both read the e-mail I sent you about the vulnerable patients' assessment scheme?

0:01:35 > 0:01:37Yeah, and I'm all for it, in theory.

0:01:37 > 0:01:41Good. Miss Pitman, how do you feel about doing the assessments?

0:01:43 > 0:01:45Now, when you say assessment...

0:01:47 > 0:01:49You've had this morning's dose.

0:01:49 > 0:01:52I needed to see, to know which ones I need.

0:01:52 > 0:01:54Mum, she's an expert. She'll know what they are.

0:01:57 > 0:01:59Do we have to go?

0:01:59 > 0:02:01You need a repeat prescription.

0:02:01 > 0:02:03I hardly slept last night. Earworm.

0:02:05 > 0:02:07Everybody's Free To Feel Good.

0:02:07 > 0:02:10I get that. Baby by Justin Bieber.

0:02:10 > 0:02:13There's no tablet big enough to get that out of your head.

0:02:13 > 0:02:14Can you get my scarf?

0:02:20 > 0:02:23# Everybody's free to feel good

0:02:27 > 0:02:31# Everybody's free to feel good. #

0:02:31 > 0:02:34So I would be working to a checklist?

0:02:34 > 0:02:36It will be more flexible than that, but, yes.

0:02:36 > 0:02:40And then you supply a written evaluation to the doctor.

0:02:40 > 0:02:44I just don't understand how I would have the skills to make that judgment call.

0:02:44 > 0:02:47I mean, I know I'm intuitive, you do pick up things, but...

0:02:47 > 0:02:49Well, you will get training.

0:02:49 > 0:02:52They're not just going to let us loose with a clipboard and

0:02:52 > 0:02:54a novelty nurse's outfit!

0:02:54 > 0:02:56Perish the thought.

0:02:56 > 0:03:00Miss Pitman, I think it would be good for us to be more proactive

0:03:00 > 0:03:04to those patients in need.

0:03:04 > 0:03:08To be honest, I am so excited about getting out from behind that desk

0:03:08 > 0:03:09just once in a while.

0:03:09 > 0:03:12- BUZZING - Oh, there we go.

0:03:12 > 0:03:13Yeah, thank you, Mrs Hollins.

0:03:15 > 0:03:17What? You still have reservations?

0:03:17 > 0:03:21Well, it's the responsibility. I'm glad you think I have the skills

0:03:21 > 0:03:26to do it, and I believe I do, too. It's just the pressure,

0:03:26 > 0:03:28on top of our reception duties.

0:03:29 > 0:03:31Right. Very well.

0:03:32 > 0:03:36With just Mrs Hollins and myself, there will be more work to share

0:03:36 > 0:03:43between us and, as we are getting a fee, there are compensations.

0:03:43 > 0:03:46- A fee?- Oh, yes. Yes, for each assessment.

0:03:48 > 0:03:52- On top of our...your regular salary? - Yes.

0:03:55 > 0:03:58Well, I suppose, like you say, with training...

0:03:58 > 0:04:00I do not want to put any pressure on you.

0:04:00 > 0:04:03No, you're right, this is about vulnerable patients who need

0:04:03 > 0:04:05extra special care and attention.

0:04:05 > 0:04:08Well, I'm very glad that you see it that way.

0:04:08 > 0:04:11And I'm sure it will go extremely well,

0:04:11 > 0:04:15especially with someone as caring as Dr Vere spearheading the scheme.

0:04:15 > 0:04:19- Dr Vere?- Yes.- Right.

0:04:21 > 0:04:22Is it me or is it hot in here?

0:04:22 > 0:04:23It's fine.

0:04:25 > 0:04:27There's no air, I can't breathe. I'll wait outside.

0:04:27 > 0:04:29You'll be called any second.

0:04:32 > 0:04:35It's like a ghost town. Where is everybody?

0:04:37 > 0:04:41Why is she staring at me? It's the scarf, isn't it?

0:04:42 > 0:04:43Bad choice, let's go.

0:04:43 > 0:04:47OK, focus on me. Now your breathing.

0:04:50 > 0:04:55In through the nose, hold, and out through the mouth.

0:04:59 > 0:05:03# Everybody's free to feel good

0:05:05 > 0:05:07# Everybody's free... #

0:05:07 > 0:05:08Mum?

0:05:08 > 0:05:09# To feel good. #

0:05:09 > 0:05:10Debra?

0:05:12 > 0:05:15It's a new place. Why'd you have to change?

0:05:15 > 0:05:17New place, same old me. Come through.

0:05:18 > 0:05:20Hi, Suki, how's things?

0:05:20 > 0:05:22Yeah, major.

0:05:22 > 0:05:23Don't leave. Promise.

0:05:25 > 0:05:26Not going anywhere.

0:05:34 > 0:05:35Afternoon.

0:05:38 > 0:05:39I've just walked from St Phil's.

0:05:39 > 0:05:44- The whole way?- Yeah. - Seriously impressed.

0:05:44 > 0:05:47Spring is in the air, and I'm keeping it in my step.

0:05:49 > 0:05:53Something's got to change. I mean, I don't like change but...something.

0:05:53 > 0:05:56Right. Tell me more about what's been going on.

0:05:56 > 0:05:58Well, nothing. That's the thing. That CB...

0:05:59 > 0:06:00T.

0:06:00 > 0:06:04Yeah, CBT - that doesn't work any more, and neither do the tablets.

0:06:04 > 0:06:06- Are you sticking to the prescribed dosage?- Yeah.

0:06:06 > 0:06:10I mean, I'd take more, I'd want to, but Suki talks me down.

0:06:10 > 0:06:14I don't know how I'd manage without her. She's good with that mindfulness.

0:06:14 > 0:06:17Well, that's part of the CBT. That's effective for you, then?

0:06:17 > 0:06:19But I'm getting the anxiety thing almost every day.

0:06:19 > 0:06:22This is the first time I've left the flat in a month.

0:06:22 > 0:06:24And why do you think that is?

0:06:24 > 0:06:27Just coming to a new place - it's a nightmare.

0:06:27 > 0:06:29Why did you have to move? I liked the old place.

0:06:29 > 0:06:31I can see why that might be difficult for you.

0:06:31 > 0:06:34But I go where I'm wanted, and the Mill needs my experience.

0:06:34 > 0:06:35I need it, too.

0:06:35 > 0:06:37You still have it.

0:06:37 > 0:06:40I want something stronger or more of what I'm taking now

0:06:40 > 0:06:44because this place is further away for me and you're seeing more people now.

0:06:44 > 0:06:46Debra, you're at a stage where, ideally, I'd like to see you

0:06:46 > 0:06:51easing off the medication - you know, exploring coping mechanisms that are non-medicated.

0:06:51 > 0:06:55- No!- One thing to consider is a home treatment team.

0:06:55 > 0:06:58They'll come see you regularly, assess where you might be struggling...

0:06:58 > 0:07:01Assessment? What, like being assessed fit for work?

0:07:01 > 0:07:06You hear about that. No, no, no, no, no, no! It's their way of cutting your benefits

0:07:06 > 0:07:07or ending them. I've got a daughter!

0:07:07 > 0:07:09Yeah, I know.

0:07:09 > 0:07:10I can barely support us as it is.

0:07:10 > 0:07:12You can't take my benefits!

0:07:12 > 0:07:15OK, Mrs Brindley, well, mind how you go.

0:07:15 > 0:07:17Thank you, thank you. Bye-bye, doctor.

0:07:18 > 0:07:20- Thank you.- Bye.- Bye.

0:07:21 > 0:07:22Long consult?

0:07:23 > 0:07:26Oh, yeah, she was the chatty kind.

0:07:26 > 0:07:29- Needed someone to listen, more than anything.- Well, there you go.

0:07:29 > 0:07:32Just the kind of behaviour that shows you are the right man for the job.

0:07:33 > 0:07:36- Sorry?- She's a vulnerable patient, the scheme -

0:07:36 > 0:07:37Mrs Tembe's been briefing us.

0:07:37 > 0:07:39Oh, right, she's been...

0:07:39 > 0:07:43Yeah, well, telling us that you are the doctor that we're going to answer to,

0:07:43 > 0:07:44which sort of makes you our boss.

0:07:44 > 0:07:47Just as long as you don't check my spelling.

0:07:47 > 0:07:49I wouldn't let that happen.

0:07:49 > 0:07:52They just have to hit F7 and then spellchecker kicks in.

0:07:53 > 0:07:57No(!) Well, I would never have known that(!)

0:07:57 > 0:07:59Live and learn!

0:07:59 > 0:08:02Can I just say that finding out that you're the doctor we're

0:08:02 > 0:08:06working with is... Can we say clean page?

0:08:07 > 0:08:10- No animosity? - Oh, well... It's not all of them.

0:08:10 > 0:08:13I've been meaning to have a talk with Mrs Tembe.

0:08:13 > 0:08:15Yeah?

0:08:15 > 0:08:17Yeah, I wanted to tell her...

0:08:17 > 0:08:19What a great team we'd be?

0:08:19 > 0:08:21Yeah, yeah. Exactly.

0:08:23 > 0:08:26Aw, don't you just want to give him a little cuddle?

0:08:26 > 0:08:29No, cos that would be sexual harassment.

0:08:33 > 0:08:35And calm, even breaths.

0:08:38 > 0:08:42I don't like this room. I like the old one.

0:08:42 > 0:08:47You said the colour of the walls made you feel like you were being smothered in a salad bowl.

0:08:47 > 0:08:48I got used to it.

0:08:49 > 0:08:50Come and sit down.

0:08:54 > 0:08:57Now, when I say a home treatment team will assess you,

0:08:57 > 0:09:00it has nothing to do with the DWP or benefits, all right?

0:09:00 > 0:09:02Debra?

0:09:02 > 0:09:06This is purely for your health and wellbeing. That's pretty.

0:09:07 > 0:09:10It's my box of delights. Suki's idea.

0:09:12 > 0:09:14May I?

0:09:14 > 0:09:16You said to create a calm space at home.

0:09:17 > 0:09:18I've seen it.

0:09:18 > 0:09:21That's my calm space that I can take with me.

0:09:21 > 0:09:22I keep my tablets in it.

0:09:23 > 0:09:24What a great idea.

0:09:31 > 0:09:33And it helps, having this with you?

0:09:34 > 0:09:36Sort of. Can I?

0:09:42 > 0:09:45Now, I would like to see you coming off the medication at some point.

0:09:53 > 0:09:55I don't think you're quite ready yet,

0:09:55 > 0:09:57but we have to think of the long-term effects.

0:09:57 > 0:09:59Something stronger?

0:09:59 > 0:10:01That would be a backward step.

0:10:01 > 0:10:04We'll keep things as they are for now.

0:10:04 > 0:10:07Doing this scheme will benefit us all in the long run.

0:10:07 > 0:10:09We'll be using resources better...

0:10:09 > 0:10:12I'm just a bit disappointed that you're going with the whole Tembe flow.

0:10:12 > 0:10:14I mean, you even sound like her.

0:10:14 > 0:10:16What about the rapid response thing?

0:10:16 > 0:10:19That was all pie in the sky. I mean, you were right.

0:10:19 > 0:10:24Can you really imagine me turning up to something like a car pile-up and then not panicking?

0:10:24 > 0:10:25Yeah, actually.

0:10:26 > 0:10:28Nah. This is the right choice all round.

0:10:29 > 0:10:31Really. I'm happy.

0:10:31 > 0:10:34It's good that you've considered it from all angles.

0:10:34 > 0:10:37And you're right. I mean, the VPAS is a challenge in itself.

0:10:37 > 0:10:39It's pen-pushing! You're coasting.

0:10:39 > 0:10:41You're not making waves.

0:10:41 > 0:10:43No, I'm not. I'll be heading the team, for a start.

0:10:43 > 0:10:44But what do YOU really want?

0:10:44 > 0:10:47This is about you, not someone else's plan for you.

0:10:50 > 0:10:52Will you sort my prescription, then?

0:10:52 > 0:10:55- I could have done that on the way home.- I had to get back.

0:10:55 > 0:10:56You've still got a few days.

0:10:56 > 0:10:58I like knowing they're here.

0:10:58 > 0:11:02I've got a tutorial in half an hour.

0:11:02 > 0:11:05- I missed the last one. It was really important. Course tutor said... - For me?

0:11:08 > 0:11:11I'll drop by the pharmacist, see if they'll do a home delivery today.

0:11:11 > 0:11:15I don't know what I'd do without you. Don't hang around after your studies.

0:11:15 > 0:11:19Make yourself some chamomile. You did OK at the doctor's.

0:11:19 > 0:11:20Love you.

0:11:25 > 0:11:27Do you know what these are?

0:11:27 > 0:11:28Don't you?

0:11:28 > 0:11:29Indulge me.

0:11:31 > 0:11:36Er... Looks like some kind of anti-inflammatory, maybe a multi-vitamin.

0:11:36 > 0:11:39So not some generic brand of SSRI, then?

0:11:39 > 0:11:41No. Is that what they're supposed to be?

0:11:41 > 0:11:45For a patient with severe anxiety problems.

0:11:45 > 0:11:47How are her symptoms?

0:11:47 > 0:11:51She did claim they were getting worse and that she wants something stronger.

0:11:51 > 0:11:52And you think she might have a point?

0:11:52 > 0:11:54What did she say about this?

0:11:55 > 0:11:58She doesn't know. I borrowed them.

0:11:58 > 0:12:00She doesn't react well to change.

0:12:00 > 0:12:02Do you think that a pharmacist could mix things up?

0:12:02 > 0:12:04It's not impossible, but it's doubtful.

0:12:04 > 0:12:09Yeah, that's what I thought. They check everything twice at the dispensing point, but...

0:12:09 > 0:12:11I don't know. I don't think it's a one-off.

0:12:11 > 0:12:15Financial gain's the only thing that I can think of, but I don't see it.

0:12:15 > 0:12:18One pharmacist, X amount of patients not getting the right meds.

0:12:18 > 0:12:21It's not worth the risk, in my opinion.

0:12:21 > 0:12:23I suppose so. Thanks.

0:12:25 > 0:12:28I think Emma's still at lunch. Do you want a coffee while you wait?

0:12:28 > 0:12:31- Go on, then, seeing as it's you. - Oh, no, Emma's on the patio.

0:12:31 > 0:12:35- Oh, well, there you go. I'll let her know you're here. - I'll do the coffee, then, shall I?

0:12:35 > 0:12:37- No, you don't have to do that. - It's no problem.

0:12:37 > 0:12:42Oh! You and me are going to get on famously, boss.

0:12:42 > 0:12:43Boss?

0:12:43 > 0:12:47Oh, yeah, that scheme I was telling you about. Back in a sec.

0:12:47 > 0:12:48How do you take it?

0:12:48 > 0:12:52- White and one, please. What, the vulnerable patients' scheme?- Yeah.

0:12:52 > 0:12:54Yeah, we've been talking about that at work, as well.

0:12:54 > 0:12:57- You know, I think there's going to be some crossover between us. - Oh, nice.

0:12:57 > 0:12:59Giving the public extra support.

0:12:59 > 0:13:03Well, personally, I think that we should just have more doctors out and about.

0:13:03 > 0:13:05- I agree.- It's all a matter of resources, though, isn't it,

0:13:05 > 0:13:08taking the world over? Where do you spend your budget?

0:13:08 > 0:13:12Not to mention the fact that you're not just a GP or a policeman.

0:13:12 > 0:13:14You're a social worker, as well.

0:13:14 > 0:13:17Cheers. Or a counsellor, or a surrogate parent.

0:13:17 > 0:13:20Well, Karen's the one that'll be doing the initial assessment -

0:13:20 > 0:13:22you know, seeing the patients.

0:13:22 > 0:13:26Being nosy in an official capacity - wow, she'll lap it up!

0:13:26 > 0:13:30I'll be making the decisions once she's done the leg work, though I did think...

0:13:30 > 0:13:33Well, I was veering towards rapid response as a speciality.

0:13:33 > 0:13:35You must come into contact with that, right?

0:13:35 > 0:13:36I certainly do.

0:13:38 > 0:13:39OK. Um...

0:13:39 > 0:13:42PHONE RINGS

0:13:42 > 0:13:45- Hello?- Debra? It's Megan.

0:13:45 > 0:13:49Just a quick question - I forgot to ask you when you were here.

0:13:49 > 0:13:53Do you have a specific pharmacist you use for your prescriptions?

0:13:53 > 0:13:58Suki usually deals with that. She sometimes gets them delivered. Why? Is there a problem?

0:13:58 > 0:14:01- No.- Will the prescription get filled? Have they stopped making them?

0:14:01 > 0:14:04- Is that it?- No, of course not.

0:14:04 > 0:14:08You knew this might happen. That's why you were talking about me not taking them.

0:14:08 > 0:14:10This is a trick!

0:14:10 > 0:14:13Debra, it's not a trick. Is Suki there?

0:14:13 > 0:14:15Can I speak to her?

0:14:15 > 0:14:17No, she's at college. What have you done?

0:14:19 > 0:14:23OK, I need you to focus on your breathing. Remember that exercise that I showed you?

0:14:24 > 0:14:25Do that for me.

0:14:27 > 0:14:28I'll be with you as soon as I can.

0:14:33 > 0:14:35So it was you applying the pressure?

0:14:35 > 0:14:38Oh, yeah. I was the only one with a spare pair of hands.

0:14:38 > 0:14:40The paramedic said, "Put that on there."

0:14:40 > 0:14:42I mean, I've done that lots of times, but there was

0:14:42 > 0:14:46so much blood in the lay-by, I was amazed he had any left.

0:14:46 > 0:14:48You see, I'd have tried to do all that by myself.

0:14:48 > 0:14:50Why would you do that?

0:14:50 > 0:14:51My neck on the line.

0:14:51 > 0:14:54- Must be a real rush sometimes. - What's got you all revved up?

0:14:54 > 0:14:58Oh, Rob's just telling me some stories about when he's worked with the rapid response team.

0:14:58 > 0:15:02Oh, my hero! Emma's just printing off your report.

0:15:02 > 0:15:05Oh, OK. I was telling Sid about paramedic Gavin -

0:15:05 > 0:15:09the Zorro of the M40. Nobody quicker with a cannula.

0:15:09 > 0:15:11Was he the one with the dodgy eye? Kept winking?

0:15:11 > 0:15:12No, that was Brian Bell.

0:15:12 > 0:15:14Oh, yeah!

0:15:14 > 0:15:18You know, if you really are interested, I can put you in contact with someone.

0:15:18 > 0:15:19That would be brilliant.

0:15:19 > 0:15:22Yeah, maybe you could go out and shadow a crew.

0:15:22 > 0:15:27Seeing everyone trying to save lives, all pitching in, not knowing what they're going to face...

0:15:27 > 0:15:30Um, but I will have to focus on getting this VPAS stuff off the ground for now.

0:15:30 > 0:15:32I mean, that's going to take up all my extra time.

0:15:32 > 0:15:34Yeah, of course, but if you do decide....

0:15:34 > 0:15:35Thanks, Rob.

0:15:35 > 0:15:39Yeah. You know, if you want more background information about the police,

0:15:39 > 0:15:42you could do a lot worse than talk to Emma.

0:15:42 > 0:15:43What's that?

0:15:43 > 0:15:46Oh, nothing. We were just... sharing war stories.

0:15:51 > 0:15:53Excuse me?

0:15:53 > 0:15:57Hi, are you delivering to flat 4?

0:15:57 > 0:15:58I might be.

0:15:58 > 0:16:00I'm the doctor that wrote the prescription,

0:16:00 > 0:16:02if it's for Debra Stock.

0:16:02 > 0:16:03Right.

0:16:03 > 0:16:06Do you deliver here often? I mean, is it always you?

0:16:06 > 0:16:09If she gets her prescription done at the same place, then, yeah, it'll be me.

0:16:09 > 0:16:12And...sorry, I know this might sound a bit out there, but

0:16:12 > 0:16:15- you count them out and then count them back in again?- I what?

0:16:15 > 0:16:19You check the deliveries at the pharmacy, and then that's it, they go in the van?

0:16:19 > 0:16:22Yeah, of course. What is this? Has someone complained about stuff going missing?

0:16:22 > 0:16:25So there's no opportunity for, say, tampering?

0:16:25 > 0:16:28Every delivery is stapled shut, prescription on the outside.

0:16:28 > 0:16:31They're loaded in here, there's an inner cage that locks independent.

0:16:31 > 0:16:34- Now, unless someone's made a complaint...- No, sorry. - ..I've got a delivery to make.

0:16:37 > 0:16:41- Oh, Mrs Tembe! I was wondering if I could have a word with you, if you've got a minute.- Er...

0:16:41 > 0:16:44Maybe I could come and see you between patients?

0:16:44 > 0:16:47Well, yes. Yes, of course, Dr Reid. Um, is there a problem?

0:16:47 > 0:16:49Heads up, ladies.

0:16:49 > 0:16:50In your office?

0:16:50 > 0:16:52Right, hello.

0:16:52 > 0:16:55- OK, so there is a change of plan. - You're doing the full marathon?

0:16:55 > 0:16:58Hm! Only with you by my side. No, I'm going to walk to the supermarket.

0:16:58 > 0:17:02- I need you to pick me up from there, OK?- What could we possibly need?

0:17:02 > 0:17:04The fridge is absolutely groaning!

0:17:04 > 0:17:06Get something nice for tomorrow night.

0:17:07 > 0:17:10For dinner with Mrs Tembe and JJ.

0:17:10 > 0:17:12You have forgotten, haven't you?

0:17:12 > 0:17:14Um, do we have to?

0:17:14 > 0:17:18Yes! OK, think of it as another themed evening,

0:17:18 > 0:17:22and you're playing the role of a gracious host, OK? So start practising.

0:17:30 > 0:17:33I appreciate the escort. Not the nicest neighbourhood, is it?

0:17:33 > 0:17:35I'm here to see my patient.

0:17:35 > 0:17:36And I was only joking.

0:17:39 > 0:17:42Dr Sharma. Thanks.

0:17:42 > 0:17:44- Debra Stock?- She's my mum.

0:17:44 > 0:17:45I should give it to her.

0:17:45 > 0:17:47She can't come to the door right now.

0:17:47 > 0:17:50Yeah, I spoke to her on the phone. How bad is she? I can vouch for her.

0:17:50 > 0:17:53OK. One tamper-free package.

0:17:53 > 0:17:56Thanks. This is the worst I've seen her in ages.

0:17:58 > 0:17:59Debra?

0:17:59 > 0:18:02# Everybody's free to feel good. #

0:18:02 > 0:18:04Focus on your breathing. Slow it down.

0:18:07 > 0:18:10I can't get it to stop. I'm going to run out of tablets, and then what?

0:18:10 > 0:18:14You're not going to run out of tablets. The pharmacy just delivered a refill. You'll be fine.

0:18:14 > 0:18:16- I'll get some water. - No, open the new supply.

0:18:27 > 0:18:30They're the wrong ones! They're not right. They're the old ones.

0:18:30 > 0:18:34Debra, look at me. This is the correct prescription.

0:18:34 > 0:18:36When did they change in appearance?

0:18:36 > 0:18:38I don't know. Suke?

0:18:38 > 0:18:42- I don't remember. Think when I started using a different place to get them.- How long's that been?

0:18:44 > 0:18:46This new place - I usually get them delivered. You saw.

0:18:46 > 0:18:49But not always. Depends where I go.

0:18:49 > 0:18:53Right. Because there's something muddled about all this.

0:18:53 > 0:18:55There's always some muddle where Mum's concerned.

0:18:56 > 0:18:58KNOCK ON DOOR

0:18:58 > 0:19:01- Now a good time? - Er... Yes, yes, of course.

0:19:03 > 0:19:06I take it you are unhappy about something?

0:19:06 > 0:19:08It's the VPAS.

0:19:08 > 0:19:10What? You think it is a bad idea?

0:19:10 > 0:19:12No, I think it's a great idea.

0:19:12 > 0:19:14Oh, well, good.

0:19:14 > 0:19:16It's just, as practice lead in elderly care,

0:19:16 > 0:19:20I'm a little annoyed that it was given to Sid and not me.

0:19:21 > 0:19:27Dr Reid, it did not even occur to me. Let me reassure you...

0:19:27 > 0:19:29Particularly as the elderly are going to be

0:19:29 > 0:19:32a large percentage of the scheme's target group.

0:19:34 > 0:19:39You make a valid point. And I will consider it.

0:19:42 > 0:19:46Right. Well, I'll leave you to consider it, then.

0:19:50 > 0:19:54How long have you felt the treatment hasn't been helping you?

0:19:54 > 0:19:55She's always been a bit up and down.

0:19:55 > 0:19:58Has it been worse since the change in tablets?

0:19:59 > 0:20:01Well, she's better now, thanks to you.

0:20:04 > 0:20:06Why are you doctoring your mother's medication?

0:20:06 > 0:20:09- What?- These are not any SSRI that I recognise.

0:20:09 > 0:20:11And you're the only one that could be doing the swap.

0:20:11 > 0:20:13This is rubbish! Why would I do that?

0:20:13 > 0:20:16It's like you want her incapacitated and dependent on you, and I can't think why.

0:20:16 > 0:20:18Oh, I don't know, cos you're wrong?

0:20:18 > 0:20:20What are these? Something illegal?

0:20:20 > 0:20:23She wouldn't do that, not my Suke.

0:20:24 > 0:20:27I don't know how much of a risk there is in you taking them,

0:20:27 > 0:20:30not to mention how long you've been off your prescribed medication.

0:20:30 > 0:20:32Stop attacking us! You're meant to be helping.

0:20:34 > 0:20:35Suki, I need to know.

0:20:36 > 0:20:41Look at your mother. If you've interfered in her treatment, you're the cause of all this.

0:20:41 > 0:20:42Stop it!

0:20:42 > 0:20:45Tell her she's wrong. Oh, my God! I don't need this.

0:20:45 > 0:20:49They're sugar pills! Only sugar.

0:20:49 > 0:20:51Harmless.

0:20:51 > 0:20:53You've been selling her antidepressants?

0:20:53 > 0:20:57I don't get it. Why are you saying that?

0:20:57 > 0:20:59To someone you think needs them more than your mother?

0:20:59 > 0:21:01To anyone.

0:21:01 > 0:21:04There's always someone out there who wants to take something to go up,

0:21:04 > 0:21:07come down, numb their way through life.

0:21:07 > 0:21:09- No!- You did it all the time!

0:21:09 > 0:21:12All your '90s house culture, Up All Night, Groove Is In The Heart,

0:21:12 > 0:21:15- Es are good!- You're dealing?

0:21:15 > 0:21:18Why do you think she's so messed up now? Drugs!

0:21:18 > 0:21:21Trashed her brain, wrecked her health, and who's been paying for it?

0:21:21 > 0:21:23The daughter she gave a stupid name!

0:21:23 > 0:21:25Suki's a beautiful name, like you.

0:21:25 > 0:21:29I didn't feel beautiful, taking care of myself and you

0:21:29 > 0:21:30since I could walk.

0:21:30 > 0:21:33Dressed and fed myself, stayed at home on my own.

0:21:33 > 0:21:35You were loved and free.

0:21:35 > 0:21:40Free? To do what? Clean up your sick?

0:21:40 > 0:21:43Put up with all the freaks you brought here that I had to

0:21:43 > 0:21:47call Dad or Uncle, act all cool cos Debra's daughter had to be?

0:21:47 > 0:21:49That's no reason to make things worse for both of you.

0:21:49 > 0:21:54What do you know? I sell her tablets to put myself through college

0:21:54 > 0:21:55so I can have a proper chance,

0:21:55 > 0:21:58a decent life, get away from all this useless crap.

0:22:00 > 0:22:01KNOCK ON DOOR

0:22:01 > 0:22:07Come in. Oh, Dr Vere. Thank you for coming so quickly.

0:22:07 > 0:22:10It's OK. It sounded urgent.

0:22:10 > 0:22:14Please take a seat. It is about VPAS.

0:22:14 > 0:22:17Oh, yeah, Karen and Valerie told me they're on board,

0:22:17 > 0:22:19- said they're looking forward to working together.- Right.

0:22:19 > 0:22:25It's just that Dr Reid has indicated that she is interested in heading up the scheme.

0:22:27 > 0:22:28She has?

0:22:28 > 0:22:33I know that you had set your heart on this being your development specialism,

0:22:33 > 0:22:39- but I just wondered how you felt about stepping down.- Um...

0:22:39 > 0:22:43I would completely understand if you wanted to continue, of course...

0:22:43 > 0:22:49No, no, no! Emma is a senior member of staff and my landlady.

0:22:49 > 0:22:53No, Dr Reid would not use that as leverage and, of course,

0:22:53 > 0:22:54I would back you if you wanted to...

0:22:54 > 0:22:57No, no, no, it makes sense.

0:22:57 > 0:22:59I mean, she has got way more experience.

0:23:00 > 0:23:04Yeah, it's only right it goes to her. It's a good decision.

0:23:04 > 0:23:06Thank you.

0:23:06 > 0:23:09I know you just want this to succeed.

0:23:09 > 0:23:14And, once again, I apologise, and I commend you for seeing it this way.

0:23:23 > 0:23:25How could you do this to me?

0:23:25 > 0:23:27I didn't do it to you, I did it for me.

0:23:27 > 0:23:29It's understandable, to put yourself first,

0:23:29 > 0:23:31but there are long-term consequences for both of you.

0:23:31 > 0:23:35It's all your mess, shoved onto my life, and I've been cleaning it up.

0:23:36 > 0:23:38You don't even want to get better.

0:23:38 > 0:23:39That's not true.

0:23:39 > 0:23:41This is payback, far as I'm concerned.

0:23:41 > 0:23:45I had no support from you when it counted so I took what I could.

0:23:45 > 0:23:47- How could you?- See?

0:23:47 > 0:23:49Even now, it's still about her, always has been.

0:23:49 > 0:23:53Selfish cow. You're a useless mother!

0:23:53 > 0:23:55Suki!

0:23:55 > 0:23:56I hate that name!

0:24:09 > 0:24:11I was a good mother, no matter what she says.

0:24:11 > 0:24:13I'm not judging.

0:24:13 > 0:24:16Will she come back? How will I cope?

0:24:16 > 0:24:17Baby steps, Debra.

0:24:18 > 0:24:21You're back on your proper medication, which will start acting soon.

0:24:21 > 0:24:22I don't have my box of delights!

0:24:22 > 0:24:25Maybe we should start looking at decreasing your dosage.

0:24:26 > 0:24:29You have been managing without it.

0:24:29 > 0:24:31I think we start seeing the positive in this -

0:24:31 > 0:24:34look at how we move forward from this point.

0:24:50 > 0:24:52I'm going to stay at a friend's.

0:24:52 > 0:24:53For how long?

0:24:55 > 0:24:58You know, what you did was dangerous for your mum,

0:24:58 > 0:25:01but just as dangerous for anyone you sold the tablets to.

0:25:01 > 0:25:02Free country.

0:25:03 > 0:25:06You're playing with people's lives, including your own.

0:25:08 > 0:25:10And you risk making Debra more dependent on you,

0:25:10 > 0:25:12which would be a bigger burden.

0:25:12 > 0:25:15She won't be my problem much longer. I'll finish college,

0:25:15 > 0:25:17get a job, get the hell out.

0:25:19 > 0:25:21Will you tell the police about the tablets?

0:25:25 > 0:25:26No, provided you stop selling.

0:25:27 > 0:25:30And talk to Debra before making any more decisions.

0:25:32 > 0:25:36I look at the future sometimes, and all I see is her,

0:25:36 > 0:25:39clinging to me like some walking dead thing.

0:25:40 > 0:25:43Making progress with your mum will give you more freedom,

0:25:43 > 0:25:44I'm sure of it.

0:25:45 > 0:25:48I don't want to end up like her.

0:25:48 > 0:25:49I know.

0:25:53 > 0:25:57I've seen too many people your age ground down by having this kind of responsibility.

0:25:59 > 0:26:02You could do with a therapist of your own.

0:26:02 > 0:26:06Would you see someone? For me, Suki?

0:26:06 > 0:26:09Susan. I want to be Susan from now on.

0:26:26 > 0:26:32Hiya, Rob? Yeah, it's Sid. You all right? That offer - does it still stand?

0:26:32 > 0:26:36Yeah? Brilliant. No, cos, like you said, first-hand experience, all of that...

0:26:38 > 0:26:42Dr Vere seems to be taking his change of circumstances very well.

0:26:42 > 0:26:46Well, young people tend to bounce back very quickly, Mrs Tembe.

0:26:46 > 0:26:48- Goodnight.- Night.

0:26:50 > 0:26:51I know what you did.

0:26:53 > 0:26:55I don't know what you're talking about.

0:27:00 > 0:27:03I mean, tonight is your chance to find out about JJ.

0:27:05 > 0:27:06So are you done for the night?

0:27:06 > 0:27:08- Um, no.- That's a shame.

0:27:08 > 0:27:11I was going to ask if you wanted to go for a drink.

0:27:11 > 0:27:12It looks delicious.

0:27:12 > 0:27:14You could sell that recipe for a small fortune.

0:27:14 > 0:27:18Well, the recipe for this is safely ensconced in a bank vault,

0:27:18 > 0:27:21away from thieving...hands.
