0:00:13 > 0:00:16and drive two hours away to a hotel on the Mornington Peninsula?

0:00:16 > 0:00:20- I'm sick of everyone excusing that man, just because he's your fucking cousin!- All right.

0:00:20 > 0:00:21I'll never forgive Harry for what he did,

0:00:21 > 0:00:23and it's not that slap.

0:01:53 > 0:01:56But for Aisha, nothing was settled or resolved.

0:01:56 > 0:02:00Instead it was as if dogs were prowling the neighbourhood in the night,

0:05:23 > 0:05:26Is it terrible to say that I don't really feel like going?

0:05:30 > 0:05:33I've been trying to call you for weeks.

0:05:35 > 0:05:37- Oh, I've interrupted you. - No, no, no.

0:05:37 > 0:05:39No, look, I was just going to drop the keys...

0:05:39 > 0:05:41It's fine. It's OK, Aish, you can stay.

0:05:47 > 0:05:50You're upset with me.

0:05:52 > 0:05:54I'm just going to check my emails.

0:05:57 > 0:05:59I was worried about you. Are you OK?

0:06:40 > 0:06:42Aish.

0:06:42 > 0:06:43She's still upset.

0:08:18 > 0:08:21Dr Ramirez, hi, Katie Freedman.

0:08:21 > 0:08:23Thank you so much for coming along to our conference.

0:08:23 > 0:08:26It's really lovely to meet you.

0:09:09 > 0:09:11AISHA SIGHS

0:09:17 > 0:09:22This has not been pursued adequately until fairly recently in China.

0:09:22 > 0:09:26But the massacre of 50,000 dogs,

0:09:26 > 0:09:31in most instances involving beating the dogs to death

0:09:31 > 0:09:33is incompatible

0:09:33 > 0:09:38with acceptable international standard of animal welfare.

0:09:38 > 0:09:42The good news is, in places like Beijing and Guangzhou,

0:09:42 > 0:09:47culling's been replaced by neuter-vaccinate-and-release programme.

0:10:02 > 0:10:04Eddie Michaels from Dunedin.

0:10:04 > 0:10:06Aisha Desessard.

0:10:06 > 0:10:08What do you fancy from the trough, Aisha?

0:10:31 > 0:10:32Aisha.

0:10:32 > 0:10:36Hi, Art. I met you in Paris at the OIE wildlife conference.

0:10:36 > 0:10:37You were just excellent.

0:10:37 > 0:10:40Your presentation is always very stimulating.

0:10:40 > 0:10:41There you go, Aisha.

0:10:41 > 0:10:44When I saw your name, I had to come and see you again.

0:10:44 > 0:10:45Cheers.

0:10:45 > 0:10:46You don't have a drink.

0:10:46 > 0:10:47- Here's to the conference.- Yeah.

0:10:52 > 0:10:54Oh, goody!

0:10:54 > 0:10:55Coming up for one drink?

0:10:55 > 0:10:58- Come on, we won't bite.- OK.- Why not?

0:11:08 > 0:11:09Are you Creole?

0:11:09 > 0:11:11Well, half.

0:11:11 > 0:11:13My mother's Creole and my father's Indian,

0:11:13 > 0:11:16which made for a tense wedding.

0:11:19 > 0:11:22Have you been back to Mauritius at all?

0:11:22 > 0:11:24Twice, but not for a long time.

0:11:24 > 0:11:27What were you doing there?

0:11:27 > 0:11:31Oh, working on health guidelines with the Mauritian port officials.

0:11:31 > 0:11:34There's this huge export business in wild macaques

0:11:34 > 0:11:36and they're treated pretty badly.

0:11:36 > 0:11:40But otherwise, I thought it was a great country.

0:11:40 > 0:11:43It's good, the work that you're doing.

0:11:43 > 0:11:45I'm kind of jealous.

0:11:45 > 0:11:51When I was doing vet science, I wanted to work with orang-utans in Borneo.

0:11:51 > 0:11:55West Kalimantan is like, um... ground zero for them at the moment.

0:12:00 > 0:12:06Well, if you're ever in the neighbourhood, take this email address.

0:12:06 > 0:12:11My friend runs a rescue centre in Borneo.

0:12:11 > 0:12:15She always needs passionate, talented people.

0:12:18 > 0:12:20Wow, yeah.

0:14:36 > 0:14:38Um...what does "fold" mean?

0:14:38 > 0:14:41I just... I can't work this thing out. Is fold like stir?

0:14:42 > 0:14:46It means slowly stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients with a spatula,

0:14:46 > 0:14:48don't just dump them all in at once.

0:14:48 > 0:14:50KNOCK AT DOOR OK, um... I've got to go dinner, guys.

0:15:18 > 0:15:20Want a drink?

0:15:20 > 0:15:22- Are you hitting the minibar already? - Yeah.

0:16:15 > 0:16:20You mean early in the morning after we go dancing.

0:23:28 > 0:23:31So, uh... Mum had some news.

0:23:32 > 0:23:33Oh, you spoke to her?

0:23:33 > 0:23:36Yeah, the kids kept asking to ring.

0:23:36 > 0:23:38Uh... You know, I think it's a, uh...

0:23:38 > 0:23:40I think it's been a disappointing trip for her.

0:23:40 > 0:23:42She's perpetually disappointed.

0:23:42 > 0:23:44She'd be disappointed if she wasn't disappointed.

0:23:44 > 0:23:49They...they just haven't been able to see everyone they thought they would.

0:23:49 > 0:23:50All these friends of theirs are sick.

0:23:50 > 0:23:56Anyway, the good news is that, um... Sandi's pregnant, 15 weeks.

0:23:56 > 0:23:58Oh.

0:23:58 > 0:24:01I think she's been trying to call you. Sandi, I mean.

0:24:01 > 0:24:06Well, that's good news for her.

0:24:06 > 0:24:08- Yeah.- She'll be relieved.

0:24:08 > 0:24:11Yeah, yeah, yeah, she's been trying for ages.

0:24:11 > 0:24:15To get pregnant to a cruel, violent man.

0:24:17 > 0:24:20Come on, Aish. He's her husband.

0:24:20 > 0:24:22Doesn't change the fact.

0:24:23 > 0:24:26Well, nobody else is going to say it, are they?

0:24:28 > 0:24:29Yeah, well...

0:24:29 > 0:24:32Anyway, maybe you should call her, congratulate her, eh?

0:24:32 > 0:24:34I'll send a card.

0:24:36 > 0:24:37Fuck.

0:24:37 > 0:24:41Fuck. You're fucking incredible.

0:24:43 > 0:24:45Can't you just give the poor bastard a break?

0:24:45 > 0:24:47I'm not going to give him a break. All we do is give him a break.

0:24:47 > 0:24:52OK. Can we just have one weekend where we don't fuckin' fight about this?

0:24:52 > 0:24:55Well, none of "this" would've happened if we'd done something the last time.

0:24:55 > 0:24:58Oh, Jesus Christ, that was nine years ago, Aisha.

0:24:58 > 0:25:00And you're still lying for him.

0:25:00 > 0:25:03I didn't lie. How many times do I have to fucking tell you I didn't lie!

0:25:03 > 0:25:04WHISPERS: Keep your voice down.

0:25:07 > 0:25:10You know, we let Rosie get torn to shreds.

0:25:11 > 0:25:14She didn't deserve to have all her secrets paraded up there

0:25:14 > 0:25:15as if they were public knowledge.

0:25:15 > 0:25:17She told me that stuff in confidence.

0:25:17 > 0:25:20And yet, Harry got to keep his secret.

0:25:20 > 0:25:24Unless Sandi goes up there, it's nothing, it's hearsay.

0:25:24 > 0:25:27Her face, that I saw, that you saw? That's not hearsay.

0:25:27 > 0:25:30Yeah, well, he's never done it again, so...

0:25:31 > 0:25:33How can you keep defending him?

0:25:33 > 0:25:36You didn't tell Rosie either, if you're so fucking concerned.

0:25:36 > 0:25:38Don't you think I feel absolutely shit about it?

0:25:38 > 0:25:40I don't know what the fuck you feel.

0:25:43 > 0:25:47Excuse me. Here's the meze board with the local scallop chorba.

0:25:47 > 0:25:49The maitre d' tells me it's your anniversary.

0:25:49 > 0:25:51Congratulations.

0:25:51 > 0:25:53How many years?

0:25:53 > 0:25:56- Oh, it's just 16.- 16 years?- Yeah.

0:25:58 > 0:26:0016, hey?

0:26:17 > 0:26:20Guess this is what they mean by "for better or for worse".

0:26:23 > 0:26:26Well, nothing like putting it out there.

0:26:28 > 0:26:30Cheers.

0:30:14 > 0:30:15She knew she should have a position,

0:30:15 > 0:30:20but the truth was... she didn't even feel jealousy.

0:40:35 > 0:40:38that we're all coming over this weekend for Rocco's birthday.

0:40:38 > 0:40:41You know Sandi.

0:43:15 > 0:43:16It's...

0:43:18 > 0:43:20It's a family matter which...

0:43:20 > 0:43:24Hector and his parents thought should stay in the family

0:43:24 > 0:43:27- and I respected that at the time. - Well, just...just say it.

0:43:29 > 0:43:32If I thought that it would have affected your case in any way,

0:43:32 > 0:43:34I would've told you.

0:43:34 > 0:43:36What are you talking about?

0:43:40 > 0:43:41He's done it before.

0:43:43 > 0:43:44Not to a child.

0:43:48 > 0:43:49To who?

0:43:52 > 0:43:54To Sandi.

0:43:55 > 0:43:57He broke her jaw.

0:44:03 > 0:44:05It wouldn't have made any difference

0:44:05 > 0:44:08because Sandi would've... she would've denied it.

0:44:08 > 0:44:09And I should've told you.

0:44:12 > 0:44:13I knew it.

0:44:18 > 0:44:21- I'm so sorry.- I'm not going to...

0:44:21 > 0:44:23I'm not going to fuckin' cry.
