0:00:59 > 0:01:02and now he's heading round towards the garage.

0:01:02 > 0:01:05Yeah, it's just that I'm at home alone with my two kids.

0:01:05 > 0:01:07My husband's at a college reunion...

0:01:07 > 0:01:10Sorry, it's just I'm in a bit of a panic.

0:01:10 > 0:01:11It's Kate Dickenson.

0:01:11 > 0:01:14It's 38 Springbank Road, and, please, can you get here

0:01:14 > 0:01:15as quickly as you can?

0:01:15 > 0:01:17And what makes you think he's an intruder?

0:01:17 > 0:01:20Because I've just heard him trying the door handle of my house.

0:01:20 > 0:01:23He is in my garden right now, trespassing on my property!

0:01:30 > 0:01:33and he's heading towards the house again.

0:01:35 > 0:01:37Forget it, I've just found my husband's gun.

0:01:37 > 0:01:38I'll deal with it myself.

0:01:46 > 0:01:47Who is it, Mum?

0:01:47 > 0:01:51I don't know, just go back to bed!

0:01:51 > 0:01:52Mum?

0:02:08 > 0:02:10SIRENS BLARE

0:02:10 > 0:02:14For God's sake! What the hell do you think you are doing?

0:02:14 > 0:02:16You've broken me bloody hand!

0:02:16 > 0:02:18Yeah, well, you were lucky it wasn't your head!

0:02:18 > 0:02:20Mrs Dickenson, where's the gun?

0:02:20 > 0:02:22I decided not to use it.

0:02:22 > 0:02:24Actually, I just said that to get you here.

0:02:24 > 0:02:26You do know it's against the law to give wrong information...?

0:02:26 > 0:02:29Yeah, as it happens, this is my stepson, Liam.

0:02:29 > 0:02:32- Hiya.- Dad's back.

0:02:32 > 0:02:34I couldn't find the key, it wasn't where Dad said it was.

0:02:34 > 0:02:36Well, he could've been a mass murderer.

0:02:36 > 0:02:38What's going on?

0:02:38 > 0:02:40Your son decided to break into our house.

0:02:40 > 0:02:42The keys weren't on top of the tyres.

0:02:42 > 0:02:44I thought he was an intruder and I called the police.

0:02:44 > 0:02:46It's my fault, I told him not to wake you

0:02:46 > 0:02:48- because you had a big day tomorrow. - Well, no, this morning!

0:02:48 > 0:02:51Can I ask, have you got a licence for your gun, sir?

0:02:51 > 0:02:53What gun? I don't have a gun.

0:02:53 > 0:02:56For God's sake, I'm in the force. I'm a DS over at Westfield.

0:02:56 > 0:02:59And what the hell's all this about a gun?

0:03:00 > 0:03:02Yeah, I can... I can explain that.

0:03:06 > 0:03:08I don't think any of them are broken,

0:03:08 > 0:03:10you wouldn't be able to move them.

0:03:10 > 0:03:14I think they're probably just badly bruised. Go on.

0:03:16 > 0:03:19So what did your mother say when you told her you were staying with me?

0:03:19 > 0:03:21- Nothing.- You didn't tell her, did you?

0:03:21 > 0:03:24She won't be bothered. She told me to piss off and never come back.

0:03:24 > 0:03:26- Liam!- She said she never wanted to see me again.

0:03:26 > 0:03:28You know what she's like, she says things she doesn't mean.

0:03:28 > 0:03:30And she gave up a lot so you could go to uni.

0:03:30 > 0:03:33You can't just walk out because your girlfriend's fallen out with you.

0:03:33 > 0:03:35- You can't just throw it away. - I'm not throwing anything away.

0:03:35 > 0:03:39Well, if she loves you, she'll still be there for you when you finish at Bristol.

0:03:39 > 0:03:41I don't give a shit about my degree. I'm not going back.

0:03:41 > 0:03:43Right, that's enough, we'll talk about it tomorrow.

0:03:43 > 0:03:45You get some sleep.

0:03:45 > 0:03:47I'll text Gill and let her know he's all right

0:03:47 > 0:03:49and pull the bed out in Tom's room for him.

0:03:49 > 0:03:52There's a spare duvet in Lucy's wardrobe, I'll go and get it.

0:03:52 > 0:03:54Kate...

0:03:54 > 0:03:56..I'm sorry I frightened you.

0:03:56 > 0:03:58I'm sorry I whacked your hand.

0:04:06 > 0:04:08MOBILE BEEPS

0:04:10 > 0:04:12MOBILE BEEPS

0:04:49 > 0:04:51Can we have a dog?

0:04:51 > 0:04:53How many times do I have to tell you?

0:04:53 > 0:04:55It wouldn't be fair on the dog, there's no-one to look after it.

0:04:55 > 0:04:57Liam could look after him now he's living here.

0:04:57 > 0:04:59We don't know how long Liam's staying.

0:04:59 > 0:05:00Can Mia sleep over tonight?

0:05:00 > 0:05:02No, because Liam has got the spare duvet.

0:05:02 > 0:05:04- Have you get any more coffee beans? - Next week.

0:05:04 > 0:05:07- I haven't been shopping, just use instant.- I hate instant.

0:05:07 > 0:05:09It's not fair, you don't let me have anything!

0:05:09 > 0:05:12I can't even be a vegetarian!

0:05:12 > 0:05:13Did you take my trainers back?

0:05:13 > 0:05:16Er, no, I haven't had time. I'll do it at the weekend.

0:05:16 > 0:05:18- We've got sports this afternoon. - Well, use your old ones.

0:05:18 > 0:05:20- They're too small.- I got blisters last time I wore them.

0:05:20 > 0:05:23You told me you were a size nine, so that's what I got you.

0:05:23 > 0:05:27- No, I didn't, I said my last pair were a nine. You never listen!- What?

0:05:27 > 0:05:28SHE EXHALES

0:05:28 > 0:05:31If you'd said we needed coffee beans, I could've picked some up.

0:05:31 > 0:05:35I can't do everything. I'm sick of trying to be bloody Superwoman.

0:05:35 > 0:05:37Typical - there is no Superwoman. It's Wonder Woman!

0:05:37 > 0:05:41I don't care who it is. Stop it!

0:05:41 > 0:05:44Hey, do you know Lucy's passcode for her phone?

0:05:44 > 0:05:47- How would I know? - You know mine.- No, I don't.

0:05:47 > 0:05:49Yes, you do, or you wouldn't be able

0:05:49 > 0:05:50to read all my e-mails and texts.

0:05:52 > 0:05:53Was the lovely Anne-Marie there last night?

0:05:53 > 0:05:56- Yeah, what's wrong with that? - Did you do lots of catching up?

0:05:56 > 0:06:01- Can I just say, I do not read your e-mails...- She could use Tom's sleeping bag.- Lucy, no! Not tonight.

0:06:01 > 0:06:03Look, we've got a lot on at the moment.

0:06:03 > 0:06:05And for the record, I did not stop you becoming a vegetarian,

0:06:05 > 0:06:09- I just said... - You don't care about what I think.

0:06:15 > 0:06:17I've got stomach-ache.

0:06:19 > 0:06:21Lucy, is there someone at school asking you to do

0:06:21 > 0:06:23something you don't want to do?

0:06:23 > 0:06:25No. That's a really weird thing to say.

0:06:25 > 0:06:28I know sometimes I'm really busy, but I don't want you to think

0:06:28 > 0:06:31- that you can't tell me things, because you can.- I know that.

0:06:31 > 0:06:33- I'm serious. - She just trying to skive off.

0:06:33 > 0:06:34I never say horrible things about you,

0:06:34 > 0:06:36so why do you have to say horrible things about me?

0:06:36 > 0:06:39- I hate all my family. - Great, whatever.

0:06:39 > 0:06:41Don't forget my trainers!

0:06:41 > 0:06:42And if you know what's good for you,

0:06:42 > 0:06:44you will get out of this car right now!

0:06:44 > 0:06:47For God's sake, Mum, chill out!

0:06:56 > 0:07:02MUSIC: Our Day Will Come by Amy Winehouse

0:07:23 > 0:07:25Yeah, yeah, it's the...

0:07:25 > 0:07:29The ones with a funny webbing thing on the side.

0:07:29 > 0:07:30Yeah, that's it, size ten.

0:07:32 > 0:07:33SHE MOUTHS: Sorry.

0:07:33 > 0:07:35- Congratulations!- Thank you!

0:07:37 > 0:07:39Well, if you could just pop them to one side for me.

0:07:39 > 0:07:42Kate Dickenson. Thank you.

0:07:48 > 0:07:50Late night?

0:07:50 > 0:07:53- Yeah, didn't get to sleep till after two.- Oh, yeah?

0:07:53 > 0:07:57- Rob was at a college reunion. - You should've rung me.

0:07:57 > 0:08:00I'm going to pretend you didn't say that. How's Olivia?

0:08:00 > 0:08:02Oh, better since we've given up on the IVF.

0:08:02 > 0:08:05Hopefully we can get back to enjoying sex again.

0:08:05 > 0:08:06Oh, good to know, good to know.

0:08:06 > 0:08:09The meeting's at 11, Pat's coming in to hold the fort,

0:08:09 > 0:08:11so just make sure you're there.

0:08:18 > 0:08:20Meeting's at 11.

0:08:23 > 0:08:25Right!

0:08:26 > 0:08:27- Morning.- Morning, Talia.

0:08:27 > 0:08:31Oh, I hear you did a birth registration yesterday. Well done.

0:08:31 > 0:08:32Thank you.

0:08:32 > 0:08:34It was a bit scary, but I think I did all right.

0:08:34 > 0:08:36Ah, you'll get used to it.

0:08:36 > 0:08:38Would you mind taking these? Thank you.

0:08:38 > 0:08:40Erm, it's a birth.

0:08:40 > 0:08:43- Right.- Morning.- Thank you.

0:08:43 > 0:08:44Morning.

0:08:46 > 0:08:48Sorry to keep you.

0:08:48 > 0:08:50So who've we got here then?

0:08:50 > 0:08:52This Harry Lester Armitage.

0:08:52 > 0:08:55Well, hello, Harry Lester Armitage!

0:08:55 > 0:08:58Aren't you a little bobby-dazzler?!

0:08:58 > 0:09:01- How old is he? - Oh, he were born two days ago.

0:09:01 > 0:09:05So he's brand-new. Oh, that's lovely.

0:09:05 > 0:09:07Congratulations. I take it you are his dad?

0:09:07 > 0:09:09I am, yeah. I'm Simon Armitage.

0:09:09 > 0:09:11Right, well, shall we head over?

0:09:11 > 0:09:14- Look, I'll take all of this, don't worry.- Thank you, cheers.

0:09:16 > 0:09:19Just take a seat.

0:09:20 > 0:09:24So, where was he born?

0:09:24 > 0:09:25At St Thomas' Hospice.

0:09:25 > 0:09:28His mum Jenny's in there.

0:09:28 > 0:09:30I'm sorry to hear that.

0:09:31 > 0:09:33That's why she's not here.

0:09:33 > 0:09:36We unfortunately found out she'd got cervical cancer

0:09:36 > 0:09:37when she was three months pregnant.

0:09:37 > 0:09:40I wanted her to think about a termination

0:09:40 > 0:09:42so she could get started on the treatment straight away,

0:09:42 > 0:09:45but she wouldn't.

0:09:45 > 0:09:49I mean, you know, we were both really happy when we found out.

0:09:49 > 0:09:52Well, she started with these pains and we just thought it was

0:09:52 > 0:09:54the baby growing at first

0:09:54 > 0:09:56and then she had her scan.

0:09:56 > 0:09:57SHE EXHALES

0:09:59 > 0:10:01That must've been a big shock.

0:10:01 > 0:10:03It was a bloody big shock, all right.

0:10:04 > 0:10:08- Right, well, shall we get started, then?- Yeah.

0:10:13 > 0:10:15So, are you and Jenny married?

0:10:15 > 0:10:17No, no, we could never afford it,

0:10:17 > 0:10:20there were all these things we had to buy.

0:10:20 > 0:10:24But when the midwife put Harry in her arms she...

0:10:24 > 0:10:26She said she'd wished we'd got married now,

0:10:26 > 0:10:28wishes we were a proper little family.

0:10:28 > 0:10:31And it about bloody killed me because I'd have found the money

0:10:31 > 0:10:35from somewhere, you know, I would, but it's too late now.

0:10:39 > 0:10:40How sick is she?

0:10:40 > 0:10:45Last time the doctor said it could be any time

0:10:45 > 0:10:48and, to be honest, they weren't even sure if she was going to last

0:10:48 > 0:10:50till the baby was born.

0:10:52 > 0:10:54Erm...

0:10:55 > 0:10:58Just excuse me for a minute. I will be back.

0:10:58 > 0:11:00Yeah, no problem.

0:11:02 > 0:11:05Morning, Anna. Oh, I might need you to do an RGL with me

0:11:05 > 0:11:07this afternoon. What have you got on?

0:11:07 > 0:11:10- Oh, just the citizenship... - Oh, shit, I forgot about that.

0:11:10 > 0:11:12The lord and lady mayoress are coming in...

0:11:12 > 0:11:15Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'll sort something else out.

0:11:15 > 0:11:17You all right?

0:11:17 > 0:11:19- I've just had a run-in with Judy. - Oh.

0:11:19 > 0:11:22She doesn't like what I'm wearing, she thinks it's inappropriate.

0:11:22 > 0:11:25You look great, she's just a bit old school, that's all.

0:11:25 > 0:11:29Maybe lose the Docs, though, if I were you.

0:11:29 > 0:11:32- What size are you? - I'm a four.

0:11:32 > 0:11:34I've got a spare pair of courts in my shoe locker.

0:11:34 > 0:11:36What's she going to be like when they make her super?

0:11:36 > 0:11:38Well, we don't know if she's got it yet.

0:11:38 > 0:11:40Of course she has, that's what this meeting's about.

0:11:40 > 0:11:42I bet she'll make us wear a bloody uniform.

0:11:45 > 0:11:47So then you just click "enter".

0:11:47 > 0:11:50- That should magically... That's it, good.- Thank you.

0:11:50 > 0:11:52Yeah.

0:11:52 > 0:11:54I need the strongroom keys and they're not on the rack.

0:11:54 > 0:11:55What do you want them for?

0:11:55 > 0:11:57I think I'm going to have to do an RGL this afternoon

0:11:57 > 0:12:00and I need to do a manual birth registration when I'm there.

0:12:00 > 0:12:03Hang on a minute, just slow down and explain what's happening, please.

0:12:03 > 0:12:06A new father's just come in to register the birth of his son

0:12:06 > 0:12:10and his partner's dying wish is to be married.

0:12:10 > 0:12:12Right, OK. Well, we can try and fit her in tomorrow.

0:12:12 > 0:12:14Yeah, well, we don't know if she's got a tomorrow.

0:12:14 > 0:12:17We've got the citizenship this afternoon.

0:12:17 > 0:12:19Yeah, I know, but you and Anna could do that together.

0:12:19 > 0:12:20Do we have a doctor's letter or...?

0:12:20 > 0:12:24She's in St Thomas' Hospice, I think that speaks for itself.

0:12:24 > 0:12:27We can just tell the GRO we've got it and get all the necessaries

0:12:27 > 0:12:28when we're there.

0:12:28 > 0:12:30I don't think we can get a general licence that quickly.

0:12:30 > 0:12:33Well, we've done it before, several times.

0:12:33 > 0:12:35So, are you going to ring, or shall I?

0:12:39 > 0:12:41And do you know where the keys are?

0:12:41 > 0:12:43It's going to cause complete mayhem.

0:12:43 > 0:12:46Talia, the keys are in the top drawer of my desk.

0:12:46 > 0:12:47They should be on the rack.

0:12:47 > 0:12:50People were forgetting to sign for them

0:12:50 > 0:12:53and at the end of the day, we are responsible for those certificates.

0:12:53 > 0:12:56There's going to be a few changes around here after today.

0:12:56 > 0:13:00- Hello, can I help you? - Hello, yes, it's Judy Fellows here,

0:13:00 > 0:13:03acting superintendent from the Greater Leeds office.

0:13:03 > 0:13:05Kate! Kate!

0:13:05 > 0:13:11Hey, listen, I've got a really weird notice - interpreter...

0:13:11 > 0:13:12Well, the lot.

0:13:12 > 0:13:14And, well, I've got a gut feeling about it,

0:13:14 > 0:13:15but I just can't call it.

0:13:15 > 0:13:17I'd appreciate a second opinion.

0:13:17 > 0:13:19All right, well, I'm just dealing with an RGL just now

0:13:19 > 0:13:21- and then I'll be straight through. - All right, thanks.

0:13:21 > 0:13:23Right.

0:13:23 > 0:13:26I'm back. Sorry about that.

0:13:27 > 0:13:31So, I'm just looking to see if we can do anything this afternoon.

0:13:31 > 0:13:33Er, do what? Sorry.

0:13:33 > 0:13:36We'll come to the hospice and register Harry's birth

0:13:36 > 0:13:38so that Jenny can be there and...

0:13:40 > 0:13:43..if it's possible, would you like us to marry you?

0:13:46 > 0:13:50Oh, my God! That would be amazing. Can you do that?

0:13:50 > 0:13:52Well, I'll give it a damn good try.

0:13:52 > 0:13:55- She is conscious, right? - Yeah, yeah.

0:13:55 > 0:13:57Erm, I mean she drifts in and out sometimes

0:13:57 > 0:13:59when they give her morphine, but...

0:13:59 > 0:14:02Right, well, if you just write your phone number down there

0:14:02 > 0:14:04and I'll keep you posted.

0:14:04 > 0:14:08You're going to need proof of identity, like a passport or a

0:14:08 > 0:14:12birth certificate, proof of address, a gas or electric bill.

0:14:12 > 0:14:14Yeah, well, I mean, we've got plenty of them.

0:14:16 > 0:14:17Wow.

0:14:17 > 0:14:19- There's me number. - I'll be in touch.

0:14:21 > 0:14:24You literally don't know what this means to me.

0:14:24 > 0:14:25Well, to us.

0:14:25 > 0:14:28I mean... Thank you.

0:14:28 > 0:14:31Thank you so much.

0:14:31 > 0:14:33THEY TALK OVER EACH OTHER

0:14:33 > 0:14:35Can I just say, if you all speak at the same time,

0:14:35 > 0:14:37I can't understand a word you're saying.

0:14:37 > 0:14:41So just slow it down, one at a time, then I'll be able...

0:14:41 > 0:14:45Sorry, I was just waiting to see if we could get the licence.

0:14:45 > 0:14:48So, what's going on here, then?

0:14:48 > 0:14:51Right, this is Kate, everyone, she's our senior registrar.

0:14:51 > 0:14:54SHE SPEAKS OWN LANGUAGE

0:14:54 > 0:14:56This is Amir, Kristina, they've come to give their notice

0:14:56 > 0:14:58of intention to marry.

0:14:58 > 0:15:00Kristina doesn't speak English so this lady...

0:15:00 > 0:15:04- Dominica. I'm here to interpret and explain everything.- OK.

0:15:04 > 0:15:05This is Amir's cousin.

0:15:05 > 0:15:07- Ramin.- Hi.

0:15:07 > 0:15:09Right. I've got here Amir's Iranian passport,

0:15:09 > 0:15:11- his student visa...- Mm-hm.

0:15:11 > 0:15:16..utility bill and Kristina's ID, and that's as far as we've got.

0:15:16 > 0:15:18OK.

0:15:18 > 0:15:19Right.

0:15:19 > 0:15:22So, what are you studying, Amir?

0:15:22 > 0:15:25Business, but it's only part time.

0:15:25 > 0:15:26I see.

0:15:27 > 0:15:29So, is it a good course?

0:15:29 > 0:15:30I think so, yes.

0:15:30 > 0:15:32Is it a degree or a diploma?

0:15:32 > 0:15:33- A degree.- Diploma.

0:15:35 > 0:15:36Well, which is it?

0:15:36 > 0:15:37Degree.

0:15:37 > 0:15:40Sorry, sometimes I get confused with the language.

0:15:40 > 0:15:43And how did you meet the lovely Kristina?

0:15:43 > 0:15:44My cousin introduced me to her.

0:15:44 > 0:15:47She worked for him in his restaurant.

0:15:47 > 0:15:50And...did you like working in the restaurant, Kristina?

0:15:50 > 0:15:55SHE SPEAKS SLOVENIAN

0:15:55 > 0:15:59Yes. She liked it very much, but now, as you see, she is pregnant

0:15:59 > 0:16:01and the smell of food makes her feel sick.

0:16:01 > 0:16:02Thank you for that.

0:16:02 > 0:16:05If you could just interpret exactly what she says to me

0:16:05 > 0:16:08and what I say back to her without adding anything?

0:16:08 > 0:16:09Of course.

0:16:10 > 0:16:12So, does Kristina speak any English?

0:16:12 > 0:16:14- Hardly any.- None. - Or Iranian?

0:16:14 > 0:16:16Just a few words.

0:16:16 > 0:16:18So, do you speak Slovenian?

0:16:18 > 0:16:20I can say "I love you".

0:16:20 > 0:16:21Well go on, then.

0:16:21 > 0:16:23Uh, ljubim te.

0:16:27 > 0:16:31Did Kristina understand or actually hear any of that?

0:16:32 > 0:16:33Yes. Yeah.

0:16:33 > 0:16:37Er, OK, you...you do know that you only have a few weeks

0:16:37 > 0:16:39left on your student visa, Amir?

0:16:39 > 0:16:41Yes, but I knew we were going to marry, so...

0:16:41 > 0:16:44You thought you wouldn't bother because Kristina being Slovenian

0:16:44 > 0:16:47entitles you to a residency permit as a family member, yes?

0:16:47 > 0:16:48Yes.

0:16:48 > 0:16:50Ah, right.

0:16:50 > 0:16:54And you're currently both living at 17 Copperfield Road?

0:16:54 > 0:16:55- Yes.- Da.

0:16:55 > 0:16:57Oh, she understood that?

0:16:57 > 0:16:59She knows the address.

0:17:00 > 0:17:01Right.

0:17:01 > 0:17:03SHE CLEARS HER THROAT

0:17:03 > 0:17:04I've just got one question.

0:17:04 > 0:17:07If neither of you speak each other's language,

0:17:07 > 0:17:09how do you communicate?

0:17:09 > 0:17:11Oh, we speak the language of love.

0:17:11 > 0:17:13Oh.

0:17:14 > 0:17:15See?

0:17:15 > 0:17:17- Aw, that's lovely.- That's nice.

0:17:17 > 0:17:20Also, sometimes, we use the translator on our phones.

0:17:20 > 0:17:23OK, well, there's a few more things that we need to check out

0:17:23 > 0:17:26before we register your formal intention to marry.

0:17:26 > 0:17:28Is this because we're Iranian?

0:17:28 > 0:17:30No, it's because we need to make absolutely sure

0:17:30 > 0:17:32that Amir and Kristina are marrying for the right reasons.

0:17:32 > 0:17:34Well, who are you to make those decisions?

0:17:34 > 0:17:37I'm a senior registrar and it's my job to make those decisions.

0:17:37 > 0:17:41- I'll organise a home visit, and then you're going to have to make another appointment.- Why is that?

0:17:41 > 0:17:43My cousin and Kristina want to marry before the baby is born.

0:17:43 > 0:17:46We also have to abide by the rules of the 2014 Immigration Act,

0:17:46 > 0:17:50but we will push things along as fast as we can. OK?

0:17:50 > 0:17:51Thank you very much for your time.

0:17:51 > 0:17:53Thank you. Thanks for coming in.

0:17:54 > 0:18:00DOMINICA AND KRISTINE SPEAK IN SLOVENIAN

0:18:04 > 0:18:05- SIGHS - Sorry.

0:18:05 > 0:18:07I just could not call that one.

0:18:07 > 0:18:10She didn't really look like a pregnant bride-to-be, did she?

0:18:10 > 0:18:11And I'm not convinced

0:18:11 > 0:18:14- that she couldn't at least speak some English.- Yeah.

0:18:15 > 0:18:18So, I think I might have an RGL this afternoon.

0:18:18 > 0:18:20Do you think you could do it with me?

0:18:20 > 0:18:23Can't, I've got a birth, two notices and a civil partnership later.

0:18:23 > 0:18:25- Oh, bugger.- Yep.

0:18:44 > 0:18:47Oh, can you really do it? That would be amazing.

0:18:47 > 0:18:49I just need to let her mam and dad know and, er, you know,

0:18:49 > 0:18:52get a suit and er, the things that you asked me for.

0:18:54 > 0:18:56Uh-huh.

0:18:56 > 0:18:58OK. Well, will two o'clock be OK?

0:18:58 > 0:18:59Perfect.

0:19:01 > 0:19:03SHE EXHALES

0:19:03 > 0:19:05..long time since I've been to a citizenship.

0:19:05 > 0:19:08Sorry, I was just sorting out a hospice birth registration

0:19:08 > 0:19:10and marriage for this afternoon.

0:19:10 > 0:19:12No problem. Take a seat.

0:19:13 > 0:19:16Well, you're probably all thinking,

0:19:16 > 0:19:18"What the hell is the PO doing here?

0:19:18 > 0:19:20"He doesn't usually grace us with his presence!"

0:19:20 > 0:19:22LAUGHTER

0:19:22 > 0:19:26But... Well, I'm sure you all know that Pat's retired,

0:19:26 > 0:19:29and we've been searching for her replacement.

0:19:30 > 0:19:35Judy has been doing a sterling job filling in as Superintendent

0:19:35 > 0:19:36while we've been searching.

0:19:36 > 0:19:40That in mind, we decided to promote from within,

0:19:40 > 0:19:43and combine the jobs of service manager

0:19:43 > 0:19:45and superintendent registrar.

0:19:45 > 0:19:48- WHISPERS:- Judy's going to be service manager as well?

0:19:48 > 0:19:52And I'm very pleased to be able to tell you that

0:19:52 > 0:19:55Kate is stepping into Pat's shoes,

0:19:55 > 0:19:59as well as taking on the responsibilities of service manager.

0:19:59 > 0:20:01Oh, that's brilliant!

0:20:01 > 0:20:02Speech!

0:20:04 > 0:20:06If you'd like to say a few words, Kate?

0:20:06 > 0:20:08Er... Thank you, Matthew!

0:20:08 > 0:20:09Um...

0:20:09 > 0:20:12I know I'm a bit of a risky choice for this,

0:20:12 > 0:20:14so thank you very much for having faith in me.

0:20:14 > 0:20:17I just hope that I can live up to your expectations.

0:20:17 > 0:20:21I have a fantastic team of registrars and celebrants

0:20:21 > 0:20:26around this table to help modernise the service, so...

0:20:26 > 0:20:28Well, if it all goes pear-shaped,

0:20:28 > 0:20:30it's going to be me that's fucked it up.

0:20:30 > 0:20:33LAUGHTER

0:20:36 > 0:20:38And can I just say, as well,

0:20:38 > 0:20:41on behalf of the rest of the staff, massive congratulations to Kate,

0:20:41 > 0:20:43I think you've picked the right person.

0:20:44 > 0:20:46And not to upstage Kate...

0:20:48 > 0:20:49Er...

0:20:50 > 0:20:53As we're all gathered here, um...

0:20:53 > 0:20:56- VOICE SHAKING:- ..I'd just like to, er, take a moment...

0:20:59 > 0:21:00Um...

0:21:06 > 0:21:11Well, I know this might come as a bit of a shock to you all,

0:21:11 > 0:21:12but, erm...

0:21:12 > 0:21:14..as of next week...

0:21:16 > 0:21:18..I will be coming to work

0:21:18 > 0:21:20dressed as a woman.

0:21:21 > 0:21:23QUIET LAUGHTER

0:21:25 > 0:21:26THROAT CLEARS

0:21:26 > 0:21:28LAUGHTER DIES

0:21:32 > 0:21:34Are you serious?

0:21:37 > 0:21:38SHE APPLAUDS

0:21:45 > 0:21:49Well, I think she's, er...an interesting choice.

0:21:49 > 0:21:51I mean, she's got her own way of going about things.

0:21:51 > 0:21:54- That's not necessarily a bad thing. - No, no.

0:21:54 > 0:21:56I'm not saying it is. But, er...

0:21:56 > 0:21:58Now, of course, she's got James to deal with.

0:21:58 > 0:22:00I mean, how are the public going to react?

0:22:00 > 0:22:02Well, I'm sure Kate will find...

0:22:02 > 0:22:03No bride is going to want to be married

0:22:03 > 0:22:05by a man dressed in women's clothes

0:22:05 > 0:22:09but I'm pretty sure the same's going to go for people...

0:22:11 > 0:22:14Oh, Talia, could you man the registration desk

0:22:14 > 0:22:16for a couple of hours this afternoon

0:22:16 > 0:22:18while they're doing the citizenship?

0:22:18 > 0:22:20- By myself? - She can't do it on her own.

0:22:20 > 0:22:23Well, she's been here a month, she's got to start sometime.

0:22:23 > 0:22:26Well, that's the rota completely out of the window.

0:22:31 > 0:22:33I've got a couple in registration

0:22:33 > 0:22:34and they, erm...

0:22:34 > 0:22:38..they want to call their baby daughter Chlamydia.

0:22:38 > 0:22:40It's got the same spelling and everything

0:22:40 > 0:22:42and I don't really know what to say to them.

0:22:42 > 0:22:44- LAUGHING:- It's all right, I'll go.

0:22:48 > 0:22:49- James?- Yeah.

0:22:51 > 0:22:54That was a really brave thing you did in there,

0:22:54 > 0:22:56took a lot of guts.

0:22:56 > 0:22:58I've been shittin' meself all morning.

0:22:58 > 0:23:00Why didn't you come and talk to me?

0:23:00 > 0:23:03I just needed to work things through, you know,

0:23:03 > 0:23:06and make sure I were doing the right thing.

0:23:08 > 0:23:10I've been seeing a counsellor for the past two years.

0:23:10 > 0:23:13Are Sarah and the boys all right?

0:23:13 > 0:23:14Erm...

0:23:15 > 0:23:17Not really, no.

0:23:19 > 0:23:20Erm, I'll talk to you later.

0:23:20 > 0:23:23I better go deal with Chlamydia's mum and dad.

0:23:23 > 0:23:25- Yeah, I'll catch you later. - All right.

0:23:29 > 0:23:31Judy, could I have a quick word?

0:23:31 > 0:23:33Can we do it later? I've got to prepare for the citizenship.

0:23:33 > 0:23:35That's all sorted.

0:23:35 > 0:23:38It won't take a minute, shall we go to your office?

0:23:38 > 0:23:40Not really my office any more, is it?

0:23:44 > 0:23:47I'll, erm, move all my stuff out of here later.

0:23:47 > 0:23:49You don't need to. I mean, we can hot desk

0:23:49 > 0:23:53or I can work from that side and you could stay where you are.

0:23:53 > 0:23:55I think I'd feel happier in my own space.

0:23:55 > 0:23:57I'll clear my desk after work.

0:23:57 > 0:23:59OK, well, whatever...

0:24:00 > 0:24:03Look, I know you feel as if you've been passed over for this job...

0:24:03 > 0:24:05- I have.- ..and this has all come as a bit of a shock.

0:24:05 > 0:24:07You knew, didn't you?

0:24:09 > 0:24:10I found out two days ago.

0:24:12 > 0:24:15I hope it's not going to affect the way we work together,

0:24:15 > 0:24:17and I don't want this to undermine you

0:24:17 > 0:24:20and make you feel like you're not valued, because you are,

0:24:20 > 0:24:22and I'm really going to need your help

0:24:22 > 0:24:24if I'm going to pull this off.

0:24:24 > 0:24:27I will do the very best I can, like I always have.

0:24:29 > 0:24:30Thank you.

0:24:30 > 0:24:33- That it?- Yeah, for now.

0:24:45 > 0:24:46I wonder if they'd have given you the job

0:24:46 > 0:24:48if they knew you and Rick had sex in the strongroom.

0:24:54 > 0:24:55What the hell are you talking about?

0:24:55 > 0:24:57You were caught on CCTV.

0:25:00 > 0:25:02Well, if you're talking about the Christmas party...

0:25:02 > 0:25:03It's a sackable offence.

0:25:05 > 0:25:08I was a bit tipsy, we both were,

0:25:08 > 0:25:09and it wasn't sex.

0:25:09 > 0:25:11It certainly looks like sex to me.

0:25:13 > 0:25:14It was out of office hours.

0:25:14 > 0:25:17In a highly confidential and sensitive area

0:25:17 > 0:25:20and you're both council employees.

0:25:20 > 0:25:22Why wait till now to tell me?

0:25:24 > 0:25:26Tell you the truth, I forgot about it

0:25:26 > 0:25:27and then it just occurred to me

0:25:27 > 0:25:30when Matthew said you got the Super's job.

0:25:30 > 0:25:32You liar.

0:25:32 > 0:25:33Think what you want.

0:25:47 > 0:25:49- What do you think she's going to do? - I have no idea,

0:25:49 > 0:25:52But I had this overwhelming desire to punch her in the fucking face.

0:25:52 > 0:25:54Why was she looking through the CCTV footage anyway?

0:25:54 > 0:25:56I have no idea.

0:25:56 > 0:25:58- Do you think it'll still be on there?- Yeah.

0:25:58 > 0:26:01Yeah, I do, it could be on there for anything up to a year or more.

0:26:04 > 0:26:05We've got to get in there and delete it.

0:26:05 > 0:26:07What if she's made a copy?

0:26:07 > 0:26:10No, she won't have, she can't even work the photocopier.

0:26:11 > 0:26:12It all makes sense now

0:26:12 > 0:26:15why she's been locking the strongroom keys in her drawer.

0:26:15 > 0:26:17What a bitch.

0:26:17 > 0:26:20It was out of office hours and that's what happens at work dos

0:26:20 > 0:26:21when you're pissed and it's Christmas

0:26:21 > 0:26:23and you've fancied someone for ages.

0:26:28 > 0:26:29I didn't know that you'd fancied me for...

0:26:29 > 0:26:31Come on, of course you did.

0:26:52 > 0:26:55Hi, I'm Kate, I'm the registrar. We're here to...

0:26:55 > 0:26:58To marry my daughter and Simon, thank you so much.

0:26:58 > 0:27:00Sorry, I didn't realise you were...

0:27:00 > 0:27:03- Her mum and, er, this is Jenny's dad.- Hello. Phil.

0:27:03 > 0:27:07Pleased to meet you. And this is Rick, he's our deputy registrar.

0:27:07 > 0:27:09- Hiya.- Hi, thanks.

0:27:09 > 0:27:10So, where are they?

0:27:10 > 0:27:12Jenny's just getting ready.

0:27:12 > 0:27:15Her sister and one of the nurses are helping.

0:27:15 > 0:27:18- Fran's a bit upset cos Jenny won't take her medication.- Sorry.

0:27:18 > 0:27:21She says she wants to remember and experience everything.

0:27:21 > 0:27:22But she's in pain.

0:27:22 > 0:27:24I know, love, but we can't force her to take it.

0:27:24 > 0:27:25We've got to respect her wishes.

0:27:25 > 0:27:27- Yes, I know, I just can't bear to see her...- Well,

0:27:27 > 0:27:29we'll get on with it. We'll do the wedding first

0:27:29 > 0:27:31and then we'll register little Harry.

0:27:31 > 0:27:33Oh, that's great, that what she was hoping.

0:27:37 > 0:27:39Oh.

0:27:39 > 0:27:43The room looks gorgeous. I can't believe you've done this so quickly.

0:27:43 > 0:27:45Everyone's been running round, not me

0:27:45 > 0:27:47and the staff have been great as well.

0:27:47 > 0:27:49Shall we get started, then?

0:27:49 > 0:27:50Right. I'll go and get her.

0:27:56 > 0:27:58- Everything OK?- Sound.

0:28:00 > 0:28:01So, should I, erm, should I start the music now?

0:28:01 > 0:28:03Yeah. Why not?

0:28:06 > 0:28:08MUSIC: Somewhere from West Side Story

0:28:08 > 0:28:10She played Maria in West Side Story when she was at college.

0:28:10 > 0:28:11Oh!

0:28:14 > 0:28:15That's lovely.

0:28:22 > 0:28:24Oh, and who are you?

0:28:25 > 0:28:26Elsa.

0:29:21 > 0:29:23Do you want to get her a seat?

0:29:23 > 0:29:25No, I'll just hold it, I don't want to sit down.

0:29:40 > 0:29:43Well, it's with a mixture of emotions

0:29:43 > 0:29:45that we're gathered here today

0:29:45 > 0:29:50to witness the marriage of Simon Armitage and Jenny Brown.

0:29:52 > 0:29:55Pleasure that this marriage will bring comfort to you both and

0:29:55 > 0:30:01to your families, and sadness that it'll only be for a short time.

0:30:03 > 0:30:05I've only met Simon fleetingly, but I can see,

0:30:05 > 0:30:11without a shadow of a doubt, Jenny, that he is in love with you.

0:30:14 > 0:30:16And I love him.

0:30:16 > 0:30:21And I think it's plain for, for everyone to see that you have

0:30:21 > 0:30:26made the, well, the ultimate sacrifice by refusing to have

0:30:26 > 0:30:31treatment so that the baby from your union together lived.

0:30:32 > 0:30:37So, er, if there is anyone here that knows of any lawful

0:30:37 > 0:30:40impediment to this marriage they should declare it now.

0:30:43 > 0:30:45I, I'm just going to cut to the chase,

0:30:45 > 0:30:48because I'm aware that Jenny's standing and she's in pain.

0:30:52 > 0:30:53So, I'd like you to repeat after me.

0:30:55 > 0:30:58I call upon these persons here present.

0:30:58 > 0:31:00I call upon these persons here present.

0:31:00 > 0:31:03To witness that I, Jenny Brown.

0:31:22 > 0:31:27China, Burma, Iran and Nigeria.

0:31:28 > 0:31:33Now, no-one can really explain what it is to be British.

0:31:34 > 0:31:39Some might say it's the love of hers truly.

0:31:39 > 0:31:42Others might say it's freedom of speech or

0:31:42 > 0:31:44grumbling about the weather.

0:31:44 > 0:31:46LAUGHTER

0:32:15 > 0:32:18..that I'm going to cherish every minute that we have left together.

0:32:48 > 0:32:51- Would you like to say anything, Jenny?- Just that...

0:32:54 > 0:32:59I'm so lucky I found you, cos you have made me so happy.

0:33:01 > 0:33:02I just...

0:33:02 > 0:33:06I wish we had more time together, but the time we've

0:33:06 > 0:33:11had has been beautiful and I'm so thankful I got to marry you.

0:33:21 > 0:33:23RICK CLEARS THROAT

0:33:23 > 0:33:24Giving of the wedding rings.

0:33:29 > 0:33:31And now we come to the giving of the wedding rings.

0:33:38 > 0:33:39You all right?

0:33:43 > 0:33:47- I'd forgotten what a lovely service it is.- I know.

0:33:48 > 0:33:49It always brings a lump to my throat.

0:33:51 > 0:33:54- Excuse me, will you take a photo of me and my husband with the Lord Mayor?- Yeah, of course, yeah.

0:33:54 > 0:33:55Thanks.

0:33:56 > 0:34:00Come on, David Bailey, make it quick, I'm dying for a cuppa.

0:34:00 > 0:34:01HE LAUGHS

0:34:06 > 0:34:08Hello, twice in one day.

0:34:08 > 0:34:11Yes, today is also a special day for me.

0:34:12 > 0:34:13Smile.

0:34:16 > 0:34:18That's right. Now you can take it.

0:34:20 > 0:34:22SHUTTERS CLICK TWICE

0:34:23 > 0:34:25- There you go.- Thank you very much.

0:34:25 > 0:34:26- Er, I took a couple.- Ah.

0:34:28 > 0:34:29Fantastic.

0:34:29 > 0:34:33So, when do you think my cousin will have his home visit?

0:34:33 > 0:34:36Well, I'm, er, I'm not sure, it's not down to us.

0:34:36 > 0:34:38It's immigration that deals with that.

0:34:38 > 0:34:40Will they let us know before they visit?

0:34:40 > 0:34:43Er, I think they do, but I wouldn't,

0:34:43 > 0:34:45I wouldn't swear to it, though.

0:34:45 > 0:34:47Is your wife all right?

0:34:48 > 0:34:50Yeah, she's fine.

0:34:54 > 0:34:56I've been a senior registrar now for 16 years

0:34:56 > 0:34:59and before that I was a deputy registrar for five

0:34:59 > 0:35:01and a half years, and before that I was a celebrant.

0:35:01 > 0:35:04And you've been a credit to the service, Judy.

0:35:04 > 0:35:06Thank you, but sometimes it doesn't feel like that.

0:35:06 > 0:35:09You know, this is the second time I've been overlooked.

0:35:09 > 0:35:14And I wouldn't mind so much if I felt like the right person had got the job, like Pat.

0:35:14 > 0:35:18But I honestly believe Kate's not got the discipline to be a superintendent.

0:35:21 > 0:35:24I won't keep you much longer, I know your time's precious.

0:35:24 > 0:35:25It's all right.

0:35:26 > 0:35:28I just need to know the full name of the baby's

0:35:28 > 0:35:30mother at the time of the birth.

0:35:31 > 0:35:33I'm Jenny Armitage now I'm married.

0:35:35 > 0:35:38I want the same name as Harry and Simon on the birth certificate.

0:35:40 > 0:35:41Right.

0:35:42 > 0:35:45Technically that's not accurate, she would've been Brown

0:35:45 > 0:35:46when the baby was born.

0:35:47 > 0:35:50I want us all to have the same name.

0:35:51 > 0:35:52Please.

0:35:57 > 0:35:59Well, I'm not going to let a technicality

0:35:59 > 0:36:01get in the way of someone's dying wish.

0:36:04 > 0:36:05Armitage it is.

0:36:07 > 0:36:08Thank you.

0:36:08 > 0:36:11And thank you for letting us be part of your beautiful wedding.

0:36:18 > 0:36:20I think we can manage the rest between us.

0:36:20 > 0:36:21Yeah, thank you.

0:36:23 > 0:36:25We maybe should be getting her back to her room now, yeah?

0:36:25 > 0:36:26Yeah, OK.

0:36:26 > 0:36:28PHONE RINGS

0:36:28 > 0:36:29Oh, I'm so sorry.

0:36:34 > 0:36:36I thought I'd turned it off.

0:36:40 > 0:36:41What's the matter?

0:36:41 > 0:36:44The schools rung, Lucy's ill. Can you pick her up?

0:36:44 > 0:36:46Well, I'm in the middle of something Rob, can you not do it?

0:36:46 > 0:36:50No, I can't. There's been a girl's body found in the canal.

0:36:50 > 0:36:52We've only just started processing the scene.

0:36:52 > 0:36:55Well, I'm at St Thomas Hospice, I'm doing a wedding

0:36:55 > 0:36:57and a birth registration.

0:36:57 > 0:37:00Wh-what about Liam, can he not make himself useful?

0:37:00 > 0:37:02He doesn't know where the school is.

0:37:02 > 0:37:03Well, tell him.

0:37:03 > 0:37:06I'm busy, Rob. I can't just leave.

0:37:08 > 0:37:10CALL ENDS

0:37:18 > 0:37:22Maybe when you've only got a little time left, everything just

0:37:22 > 0:37:25falls into place and you absolutely know what it is you want in life.

0:37:26 > 0:37:28Yeah, it seems like that.

0:37:30 > 0:37:33They both knew what they wanted. Nothing else mattered.

0:37:33 > 0:37:36Maybe we're stressing about this CCTV thing,

0:37:36 > 0:37:39it's not that important in the scheme of things.

0:37:39 > 0:37:41Well, if she's got footage of us in there,

0:37:41 > 0:37:43then she could get us both sacked.

0:37:43 > 0:37:45We're intelligent people. We'll get another job.

0:37:45 > 0:37:49I don't want another job. I love my job, especially now.

0:37:50 > 0:37:52I could make real changes...

0:37:54 > 0:37:56And what the hell would I tell Rob?

0:37:56 > 0:37:57"It wasn't me."

0:37:57 > 0:38:01It's not funny, Rick. It could be more than our careers on the line.

0:38:01 > 0:38:04I know it's not funny, it's not come to that yet.

0:38:04 > 0:38:08You know using Jenny's married name on the birth certificate was wrong.

0:38:08 > 0:38:10Yeah, I know. Who's going to find out?

0:38:10 > 0:38:12Who gives a shit anyway?

0:38:17 > 0:38:19It mattered to her and that's what was important to me.

0:38:21 > 0:38:23Rules are there to be broken, Rick.

0:38:23 > 0:38:25If you say so, bring it on.

0:38:26 > 0:38:27I'm all for that.

0:38:35 > 0:38:37CAR STARTS

0:38:39 > 0:38:41Look, do you want to come back another time,

0:38:41 > 0:38:45cos like I say, once I register him, there's not really much we can do?

0:38:45 > 0:38:47Oh. Kate!

0:38:48 > 0:38:49Everything all right?

0:38:49 > 0:38:53- Yeah.- Me boyfriend's not turned up to register our baby boy.

0:38:53 > 0:38:55- His phone's switched off. - Well, does it have to be today?

0:38:55 > 0:38:56They've got another eight days.

0:38:56 > 0:39:00Why don't you come back another time if you want his name to be on the birth certificate?

0:39:00 > 0:39:01He said he wanted to be.

0:39:01 > 0:39:04He said that he loved him and he wanted to be a proper dad.

0:39:04 > 0:39:07Well, I'd give him another chance, then, if I were you.

0:39:07 > 0:39:08Thanks.

0:39:09 > 0:39:11Aww, look.

0:39:12 > 0:39:14- Bye.- Bye.

0:39:15 > 0:39:18Do you know, that's the second time she's been in. Poor lass.

0:39:18 > 0:39:22Listen. I went to the Citizenship tea and cakes this afternoon.

0:39:22 > 0:39:24- Yes...- You'll never guess who was there?

0:39:24 > 0:39:27No idea. It could be a long job, James.

0:39:27 > 0:39:31Well, you know him that we saw this morning - his cousin, Ramin?

0:39:31 > 0:39:34- Yeah.- Yeah, he was there with his English wife.

0:39:34 > 0:39:35That's weird.

0:39:35 > 0:39:38That's what I thought. It could be the same set-up.

0:39:39 > 0:39:42He married Marcia Benson three years ago.

0:39:42 > 0:39:44He's 28, down as a restaurateur.

0:39:44 > 0:39:47Was it straightforward or did it go through immigration?

0:39:47 > 0:39:49Well, it doesn't say. I can look back at the file?

0:39:49 > 0:39:50Yeah, go on.

0:39:51 > 0:39:53Strongroom keys are still not on the rack.

0:39:53 > 0:39:56I think it's best if they're kept somewhere safe.

0:39:56 > 0:39:58Well, they're safe and accessible on the rack where they belong,

0:39:58 > 0:40:00so can you put them back, please?

0:40:01 > 0:40:02Now.

0:40:04 > 0:40:06Hello!

0:40:06 > 0:40:09I've brought you two feast number sixes to say thank you.

0:40:09 > 0:40:12- Something for everyone. - Wow.- Aww, you shouldn't have.

0:40:12 > 0:40:15Can I just remind you, we're not supposed to accept gifts.

0:40:16 > 0:40:17So then Ramin asks

0:40:17 > 0:40:20if immigration'll let him know when they're coming

0:40:20 > 0:40:22because his cousin sometimes works.

0:40:22 > 0:40:24I thought you said he hadn't got a work visa?

0:40:24 > 0:40:26But it's not the Iranians that are bothering me.

0:40:26 > 0:40:29It's Kristina, the young Slovenian girl.

0:40:29 > 0:40:31Don't think she looks like a bride-to-be,

0:40:31 > 0:40:33like someone who'd found the love of her life.

0:40:33 > 0:40:34She looked frightened to me.

0:40:34 > 0:40:40Anyway, Ramin then got so flustered, him and his wife left in a hurry

0:40:40 > 0:40:43and he forgot his ID. It's in the office.

0:40:52 > 0:40:54It's Number 21.

0:41:01 > 0:41:03Who's she?

0:41:03 > 0:41:05The next bride-to-be.

0:41:05 > 0:41:07Stop it.

0:41:07 > 0:41:08It's a nice house.

0:41:09 > 0:41:10Must have some money.

0:41:17 > 0:41:18DOORBELL RINGS

0:41:24 > 0:41:25KATE KNOCKS

0:41:29 > 0:41:31Oh, hi, er, Superintendent Kate Dickenson.

0:41:31 > 0:41:34Registrar James McKenzie. We met this afternoon.

0:41:34 > 0:41:37- It's Marcia, isn't it? - Yeah, that's it. How can I help you?

0:41:37 > 0:41:40- Er...- Well, we were looking for your husband.

0:41:40 > 0:41:42What for?

0:41:42 > 0:41:43Could we come in for a minute?

0:41:45 > 0:41:48I've just got some friends round at the minute.

0:41:48 > 0:41:49Erm, has Ramin done something wrong?

0:41:49 > 0:41:51No, no, not at all. Er...

0:41:51 > 0:41:52Is everything all right?

0:41:54 > 0:41:57- Oh!- Oh! I didn't expect to see you here.

0:41:57 > 0:41:59Why not?

0:41:59 > 0:42:00We're looking for Ramin.

0:42:00 > 0:42:03Oh, as far as I know he's with Amir and some of his friends.

0:42:03 > 0:42:06Celebrating getting his citizenship.

0:42:06 > 0:42:07You're a busy bee.

0:42:07 > 0:42:10You were interpreting for the bride this morning.

0:42:10 > 0:42:12Yes, that's right. I interpret for

0:42:12 > 0:42:15lots of Slovenian, Romanian and Russian brides-to-be.

0:42:15 > 0:42:17Not that it's any of your business.

0:42:19 > 0:42:21Who's the woman in the other room?

0:42:21 > 0:42:24That's a friend of mine, Lara, from Slovenia.

0:42:24 > 0:42:26Do you have a problem with that?

0:42:26 > 0:42:27No, I was just...

0:42:27 > 0:42:29This is clearly harassment

0:42:29 > 0:42:31and I know some very important people on the council...

0:42:31 > 0:42:32Ah, so do we.

0:42:34 > 0:42:35Where's Kristina?

0:42:36 > 0:42:37I have no idea.

0:42:37 > 0:42:41With Amir, getting ready for her wedding, I should think.

0:42:41 > 0:42:44Listen, I'm her interpreter, not her keeper, OK?

0:42:45 > 0:42:48Why are you being so defensive? I was just asking.

0:42:48 > 0:42:52We are only here to return Ramin's driving licence,

0:42:52 > 0:42:55which he forgot to pick up after his citizenship.

0:42:55 > 0:42:57- Oh, thank you.- Our pleasure.

0:43:04 > 0:43:06There's going to be other men looking to marry for a visa,

0:43:06 > 0:43:08that's for sure.

0:43:08 > 0:43:12We've got to keep an open mind. We could be wrong.

0:43:13 > 0:43:14We're not.

0:43:15 > 0:43:17And why is she not out celebrating with them?

0:43:19 > 0:43:21Maybe it's a cultural thing. She came to the do.

0:43:21 > 0:43:27Yeah, there is that. She wasn't wearing a wedding ring, though.

0:43:27 > 0:43:28You don't wear yours.

0:43:28 > 0:43:30Well, I'm not married.

0:43:30 > 0:43:33Really? God, you kept that quiet.

0:43:33 > 0:43:35Well, it's not the sort of thing you shout about

0:43:35 > 0:43:36when you're a registrar, is it?

0:43:38 > 0:43:40I was going to marry Tom's dad.

0:43:41 > 0:43:43We were engaged and everything...

0:43:45 > 0:43:47..but then he ran off with my sister when Tom was 18 months,

0:43:47 > 0:43:49so, that was that.

0:43:51 > 0:43:52Nearly killed me.

0:43:54 > 0:43:58So I left Carlisle and came down here and then I met Rob.

0:44:00 > 0:44:02And it put you off getting married, did it?

0:44:02 > 0:44:05Well, he was still technically married. I mean, they were separated

0:44:05 > 0:44:07- but they were still living in the same house.- Yeah.

0:44:09 > 0:44:12To be honest, I don't think I was really ready to commit.

0:44:15 > 0:44:16So, tell me,

0:44:16 > 0:44:20is it going to be the full make-up and stilettos next week, then?

0:44:20 > 0:44:22No way.

0:44:23 > 0:44:27I thought maybe a skirt and a blouse, jacket over the top...

0:44:27 > 0:44:29- Nice.- Do you reckon?

0:44:30 > 0:44:33Besides, I can't find any size 11 stilettos.

0:44:33 > 0:44:34- You can get them.- Yeah?

0:44:34 > 0:44:36Yes, I have seen them online.

0:44:37 > 0:44:40Oh, just do me a favour, don't come to work in them, whatever you do.

0:44:40 > 0:44:42HE LAUGHS

0:44:47 > 0:44:50I suppose I should've never got married and had kids.

0:44:50 > 0:44:52Why not?

0:44:52 > 0:44:53I think deep down I always knew.

0:44:54 > 0:44:56That's the problem. I just...

0:44:57 > 0:45:01I just kept thinking it'd go away after we got married,

0:45:01 > 0:45:06and then after me and Sarah had the boys, but it didn't.

0:45:08 > 0:45:09TYRES SCREECH

0:45:09 > 0:45:11HORN BLARES

0:45:12 > 0:45:13Bloody hell!

0:45:16 > 0:45:20What the hell do you think you're doing, you stupid idiot!

0:45:20 > 0:45:22That idiot was in the road!

0:45:23 > 0:45:26Oh, my God! Simon?!

0:45:26 > 0:45:29HORN BEEPS Jeez, will you shut up?!

0:45:31 > 0:45:32Are you OK?

0:45:35 > 0:45:37Jenny died.

0:45:38 > 0:45:39Oh...

0:45:39 > 0:45:42Oh, God. I'm so sorry.

0:45:42 > 0:45:43I'm so sorry.

0:45:45 > 0:45:47Come on, let's get... Let's get off the road.

0:45:47 > 0:45:48HORN BEEPS

0:45:48 > 0:45:49Oh, shut up!

0:45:56 > 0:45:58I just closed my eyes.

0:46:00 > 0:46:02I drifted off because I'd been...

0:46:03 > 0:46:04I'd been awake all night.

0:46:05 > 0:46:07When I opened 'em, she was gone.

0:46:09 > 0:46:13Her whole life's ended. Why?

0:46:13 > 0:46:15Maybe she thought everything was OK

0:46:15 > 0:46:18and it was the right time for her to go.

0:46:18 > 0:46:20I still had things I wanted to say to her.

0:46:23 > 0:46:25I love her.

0:46:27 > 0:46:30I wanted to be with her, I wanted to hold her when she went.

0:46:30 > 0:46:33Maybe it was the right time for Jenny. Hmm?

0:46:35 > 0:46:37I pressed the emergency bell

0:46:37 > 0:46:39and they ran in and they tried to save her,

0:46:39 > 0:46:41they tried to bring her back.

0:46:41 > 0:46:42I know.

0:46:46 > 0:46:50Right, I'm going to get the pair of you in the car. OK?

0:46:50 > 0:46:51Come on.

0:47:34 > 0:47:35Shit.

0:47:35 > 0:47:37God.

0:47:37 > 0:47:39Life's short.

0:47:41 > 0:47:42Yeah.

0:47:44 > 0:47:47So no point buggering about if you think something's wrong.

0:47:54 > 0:47:56Sarah says I've got to tell the boys tonight.

0:48:00 > 0:48:02I really don't know where I'm going to start.

0:48:04 > 0:48:05Just be truthful with them.

0:48:07 > 0:48:09They might take it better than you think.

0:48:09 > 0:48:10Yeah.

0:48:13 > 0:48:14Listen, er...

0:48:15 > 0:48:17I'm going to drop you off at home

0:48:17 > 0:48:20- and I just need to nip back to the office.- Yeah.

0:48:28 > 0:48:30- Evening.- Evening.

0:48:36 > 0:48:38LOCK BEEPS

0:50:00 > 0:50:03SHE SNIFFS AND EXHALES

0:50:05 > 0:50:07DOOR OPENS

0:50:08 > 0:50:11Don't worry, I've saved it onto a USB stick.

0:50:13 > 0:50:15What the hell are you doing here at this time?

0:50:15 > 0:50:18Moving my stuff out of the Super's office.

0:50:19 > 0:50:21Bit graphic, isn't it?

0:50:22 > 0:50:25What have I ever done to offend you?

0:50:25 > 0:50:26You've taken my job.

0:50:58 > 0:51:00You been out celebrating?

0:51:00 > 0:51:03No, I... I had to go back to work.

0:51:03 > 0:51:05We had an RGL this afternoon and, er...

0:51:05 > 0:51:07I thought they'd all be buying you a drink.

0:51:09 > 0:51:10So how did it go?

0:51:10 > 0:51:12How did they take you getting Super?

0:51:12 > 0:51:16Yeah, they were all fine, except for Judy.

0:51:16 > 0:51:18Yeah, but you expected that, right?

0:51:18 > 0:51:20Can't believe I ever felt sorry for that woman.

0:51:20 > 0:51:22Did you get my trainers?

0:51:22 > 0:51:24Yes, they're in the boot of the car.

0:51:24 > 0:51:27Don't say I never do anything for you.

0:51:27 > 0:51:29How are you feeling?

0:51:29 > 0:51:30Still got a headache.

0:51:30 > 0:51:33- Emily Johnson thinks Liam's fit. - Where is he?

0:51:33 > 0:51:36He's meeting up with his girlfriend. They're going to "talk".

0:51:37 > 0:51:39Can you take your uniform off, please, Lucy?

0:51:39 > 0:51:42You're going to drop your dinner all down the front of it.

0:51:42 > 0:51:43- Go and put your jammies on. - I'm watching this.

0:51:43 > 0:51:46Oh, come on, please, can you just do what you're told?

0:51:46 > 0:51:48I thought you were supposed to be ill.

0:51:49 > 0:51:51MESSAGE ALERT TONE

0:51:54 > 0:51:57How about you? Did you find out who the girl in the canal was?

0:51:57 > 0:51:59Not yet. We're still trying to get an ID on her.

0:51:59 > 0:52:02- What are you doing? - Trying to get into Lucy's phone.

0:52:02 > 0:52:03Well, her code's not her birthday.

0:52:03 > 0:52:06- She'll go mental if she catches you. - We need to monitor what's going on

0:52:06 > 0:52:08because she's got dodgy things popping up on her phone.

0:52:08 > 0:52:09What kind of dodgy things?

0:52:09 > 0:52:12I don't know because I can't get into her phone.

0:52:12 > 0:52:13They're grey.

0:52:13 > 0:52:15Yeah, well, they were the only colour they had in your size.

0:52:15 > 0:52:17- I wanted black.- Oh...

0:52:17 > 0:52:20Do you know what? I've... I've had enough.

0:52:25 > 0:52:27I won't wear 'em.

0:52:27 > 0:52:29You ungrateful brat. Give us 'em here.

0:52:35 > 0:52:38SHE SIGHS

0:52:41 > 0:52:45I can't do it. It's impossible.

0:52:45 > 0:52:49I'll take his trainers back tomorrow and talk to Lucy about her phone.

0:52:49 > 0:52:50It's not just that, it's everything.

0:52:52 > 0:52:54You're always like this when you've done an RGL.

0:52:56 > 0:52:58Come here.

0:53:06 > 0:53:08She was only 27.

0:53:09 > 0:53:12She'd given birth to a baby boy two days earlier.

0:53:15 > 0:53:17And they'd always meant to get married,

0:53:17 > 0:53:19but they could never afford it.

0:53:21 > 0:53:23Anyway...

0:53:25 > 0:53:27..she died this evening.

0:53:29 > 0:53:31I'm sorry, love.

0:53:34 > 0:53:37And she's never going to see her baby boy grow up.

0:53:41 > 0:53:44Maybe knowing she had him will've brought her some comfort.

0:53:44 > 0:53:46Yeah, yeah, I'm sure.

0:53:55 > 0:53:56There's other stuff too, at work.

0:54:01 > 0:54:04Anything you want to share?

0:54:04 > 0:54:05No. I can't.

0:54:08 > 0:54:10I... I want to, but I...

0:54:11 > 0:54:12I can't.

0:54:14 > 0:54:18- It's just... It's immigration stuff, another sham marriage.- Right.

0:54:23 > 0:54:25Do you know, I started thinking today...

0:54:31 > 0:54:33..I might like to get married.

0:54:37 > 0:54:39- You always said...- Yes, I know, I know what I always said.

0:54:41 > 0:54:43But I really got it today...

0:54:45 > 0:54:47..just seeing those two young people

0:54:47 > 0:54:49so desperate to commit to each other.

0:54:51 > 0:54:53Marriage means something, Rob,

0:54:53 > 0:54:56and it's real and it's not just for a visa.

0:54:57 > 0:54:59Yeah.

0:54:59 > 0:55:02If anything ever happened to either of us, Rob,

0:55:02 > 0:55:03I would just want us to be married.

0:55:07 > 0:55:10I mean, we don't need to if you don't want to...

0:55:15 > 0:55:18'Course I want to marry you, you daft bat.

0:55:34 > 0:55:36Shall we tell the kids?

0:55:36 > 0:55:38Why not?

0:55:38 > 0:55:39Right, I'll go and round 'em up.

0:55:42 > 0:55:43Be down in a minute.

0:55:43 > 0:55:45Lucy! Tom!

0:55:45 > 0:55:47What do you want?

0:55:47 > 0:55:49Me and your mam've got something to tell you!

0:55:52 > 0:55:54PHONE CHIMES

0:56:08 > 0:56:10FOOTSTEPS ON THE STAIRS

0:56:10 > 0:56:11Kate?

0:56:15 > 0:56:16- James is here.- James?

0:56:16 > 0:56:17He's in a bit of a state.

0:56:17 > 0:56:19What's the matter with him?

0:56:31 > 0:56:33I couldn't do it.

0:56:33 > 0:56:35I couldn't tell 'em.

0:56:38 > 0:56:41So Sarah, she asked me to leave. I hope you don't mind.

0:56:42 > 0:56:44Not at all.

0:56:44 > 0:56:46I just...

0:56:46 > 0:56:47I had nowhere else to go.

0:56:47 > 0:56:50You can stay with us until you sort something out.

0:56:50 > 0:56:53- I'm so sorry.- It's OK. Hey...

0:56:53 > 0:56:55Hey, come on, it's OK.

0:57:07 > 0:57:09I always thought you were married.

0:57:09 > 0:57:11There's hope for me yet, then.

0:57:11 > 0:57:12You've got a skirt on.

0:57:12 > 0:57:14Yeah, I'm on a journey.

0:57:14 > 0:57:16Do you need help?

0:57:16 > 0:57:17Yeah.

0:57:17 > 0:57:18Where did you get the ring?

0:57:18 > 0:57:20A girl at school.

0:57:20 > 0:57:21I'm going to send him a copy of the tape

0:57:21 > 0:57:24and we'll see if he still thinks you're such a golden girl then.
