00:30When did he say Bear's Trials again?
00:32I can't remember.
00:34Have you not literally just opened a letter asking you to be a witness? Was it not on that?
00:37Yeah, probably.
00:39Oh, I hope it's not on the 11th.
00:41Oh, what's on the 11th?
00:43Grumpy's operation.
00:44I'm sorry, yeah.
00:46Oh, don't tell me you've forgotten it's a baby shower tomorrow too.
00:49How could I forget that?
00:50I think Gran's gone a bit overboard, blessed. You see the picture of the cake she's ordered?
00:54Yeah, it looks expensive.
00:55Well, she's paying, so don't worry. Tightwad.
01:01I was only joking.
01:03Hmm?
01:04Oh, no, I'm sorry.
01:06I'm just a bit tired at the minute. Work's been a lot recently.
01:09Wait till we've got a baby, then we'll know what tired is.
01:11Hmm.
01:12But why don't we go to the cafe and get you a coffee?
01:14Try to take your mind off work for a bit.
01:16I wish it were that easy.
01:28There's been another development in your dad's case.
01:36I'm suspicious.
01:38You look great.
01:40You smell nice.
01:41You've got a fella.
01:42I may or may not be meeting someone.
01:45Who is it? Better not be some numpty.
01:47If you must not, it's Cammy.
01:49Oh, Cammy's a lovely lad.
01:51Thought you'd bend him off.
01:53No, there was no bending. We just decided we weren't right for each other.
01:55But now you are.
01:56Well, yeah. I like him. But we're taking it, sir.
01:59I don't get you, I mean.
02:03Where's all the food?
02:04In your belly.
02:06Oh, yeah. I'll just have some sleet and some massed yeast, then.
02:09Someone else can get off the bum and go and get it.
02:11We won't need anything for a few days.
02:12Yeah, where are you going?
02:13Just to me mum's.
02:14Oh, you'll miss the baby show, then?
02:16You're not going because of me, are you?
02:18No, no. It's been organised for ages.
02:20Why? What's happened with you two?
02:22They had a barney.
02:23I was ungrateful.
02:24I was rude.
02:25No, but I was...
02:26Right. Families argued out there. So are you sorry?
02:30Are you sorry?
02:31Great. We're all friends again. Amazing.
02:34And now I'm off.
02:35Where's he taking you?
02:36Er, it's a surprise.
02:37Bye.
02:40Oh, young love. Old butterflies and big gestures.
02:43Oh, I'd hate to go back there.
02:45Give me pyjamas, hot chocolate and bed by nine with my Sammy.
02:48That's the dream now.
02:50Where's Cain?
02:51Er, he was up and out before seven, as usual.
02:55Probably relieved to get away from me.
02:58He had a bit of a go at me.
03:00Said I need to give you a break.
03:01It's only because we're living on top of each other.
03:03We'll soon find our rhythm.
03:05Yeah, that's true.
03:06I might take him to the pub for lunch.
03:08Take his mind off things.
03:09Maybe mine too.
03:11Actually, no, don't.
03:12Get him to come back here for lunch and I'll take Sammy to the pub.
03:14That way you've got the house to yourselves.
03:16Oh, no, no, you don't have to do that.
03:18Yeah, she does.
03:19It's payback for going to her mum's.
03:21Your need is greater than ours.
03:22Come on, Sam.
03:23All right, thanks.
03:27Hiya, can I get you anything else?
03:28Any more food, drink?
03:29We've actually got a jackpot offering at the moment.
03:33Two for the price of one.
03:34Oh.
03:35Could be tempted to us, but we've cut his cheese.
03:38What's wrong with cut his cheese?
03:40I mean, it's not really food, is it?
03:44It's like half too chunky old milk.
03:48Yeah, I'll have cheese and beans instead.
03:51Okay, perfect.
03:52Erm, and for you?
03:54I actually need to get off.
03:55I can get it for takeaway.
03:57I'm fine, thank you.
03:58Okay.
03:59No worries.
04:01Where'd you have to go?
04:02What have you just got here?
04:04I need to express and I think I'll be a while because the pump needs charging, so...
04:07Okay, well, do you want me to come too?
04:08I can cancel my food.
04:10No, you just stay here and relax.
04:11I'll put a smile on your gorgeous face.
04:13See, it's already working.
04:15I'll see you later.
04:21Blimey.
04:21That smile disappeared quick.
04:23Boob talk usually makes me happy.
04:25Do you always listen to other people's conversations?
04:28No.
04:29Only when they're interesting.
04:31Right.
04:33That's with the long face, then.
04:35Is the baby okay?
04:36Yeah, that's all good.
04:40It's just I've got a mate at work.
04:42It's having a bit of a rough time getting pushed around a bit.
04:45I wanted to figure out how to help without making things worse.
04:48Oh, easy.
04:49You punch them in their stupid face.
04:52Problem solved.
04:53It's his boss.
04:54One punch and his career's finished.
04:57This mate of yours, is you.
05:05There you go.
05:07Erm, have you spoken to my dad today?
05:11He's usually wrong by now, but I've not heard from him.
05:14I tried to, but he's been moved.
05:16Into solitary.
05:18What?
05:19What for?
05:20There was yet another altercation.
05:22This time with another inmate.
05:24Your dad instigated it, and I'm afraid the other man came off worse.
05:28Dad.
05:30Not helping himself, is he?
05:32And I'm afraid that's not the only development.
05:35The prosecution have confirmed they're calling Jacob Sugden as a witness.
05:41For what happened at the hospital?
05:43But Jacob knows why my dad lashed out.
05:46In fact, he could vouch for him.
05:47They won't be asking him to defend your dad.
05:49They'll be shaping the evidence to suit their version of events.
05:52But you can cross-examine Jacob, can't you?
05:55And April.
05:56Yeah, absolutely.
05:57Now, we'll be making it very clear your father was a victim.
05:59Under extreme stress, trauma, and a lack of proper support.
06:04Context is critical in cases like this, Paddy.
06:06It's falling apart in there.
06:08I know.
06:09And that's why we need him to keep himself together.
06:12Cos every incident, every outburst, it all gets logged.
06:16And it could all be used to paint him as a volatile and dangerous man.
06:25Oh, no.
06:27I forgot me purse.
06:29Oh, yeah.
06:30That old chestnut.
06:31No, I have.
06:32I've left it on the side at home.
06:33Oh, good one.
06:35OK, I'll pay then.
06:38Here.
06:39See?
06:40Oh.
06:41I really will have to pay then.
06:44Oh, hoi!
06:45Hi.
06:46Home is that way.
06:48Well, fish and chips is that way.
06:50But your wife is that way.
06:53Stop being weird, Sam.
06:55Have you not got her messages?
07:01Oh, right, yeah.
07:03Eh?
07:04Get it while you can, my son.
07:06Sam!
07:08Stop it!
07:08That's disgusting!
07:10All right.
07:10Soz!
07:11Come on!
07:13Not that I was saying that you, you know, need to, before you...
07:18It's not physical, then.
07:20You're not in any danger.
07:21No, it's not like that.
07:22It's all mind games.
07:25Twisting things.
07:26Right.
07:27So, psychological, verbal, stuff like that.
07:30Yeah, she's clever.
07:33Oh.
07:34She?
07:36Yeah.
07:38Right, well, if it's a woman, then that's different.
07:41They like to get in your head.
07:43It's just the way they are.
07:47Honestly, just...
07:47Right.
07:48Women love a chat.
07:50Sit her down, tell her straight, and nine times out of ten, she'll chill out.
07:54The best thing you can do is take control of the situation.
07:58Right.
07:59Cheers.
08:03Oh.
08:04I was beginning to think you stood me up.
08:06No, I just, er, hand that up to her messages.
08:10Oh, no worries.
08:11It's only sitting a sandwich.
08:13Oh, and you will be pleased to know that Lydia and I made up.
08:16We had a good chat.
08:18In fact, this was all her idea.
08:20And I thought it was a good one, because...
08:23I just hate us not getting on.
08:26Hmm.
08:28Okay.
08:35I'm so sorry I made yesterday all about me.
08:39And what you said was right, and I needed to hear it.
08:44And I am grateful for everything that the family have done for us and the kids.
08:51So, can we call off the divorce solicitor now?
08:54If you want.
08:58I mean, this makes a nice change, doesn't it, eh?
09:02I mean, I don't think we've spent any time for ourselves since...
09:06Well, since I got out, have we?
09:11What is this?
09:13What do you mean?
09:14All this.
09:16Well, what do you think it is?
09:17You've been talking to Lydia and Sam, haven't you?
09:20To everyone, about me, about what happens after the operation.
09:25Oh, I'm so sorry to hear that.
09:28Dementia is a terrible way to go.
09:31I mean, not only for your father, but your whole family too.
09:37Well, I haven't got any siblings, so it's only me and my dad.
09:40Well, it's only me now.
09:43Oh, I hope the funeral goes well.
09:49Anything you need from me?
09:51No, thank you.
09:53Okay.
09:55Dr Todd, can I have a word?
09:57A bit busy, Jacob.
09:59It's important.
10:00More important than my dad.
10:02I've got to call the undertakers.
10:03They're expecting me.
10:08Something that needs dealing with now.
10:13Better come in, then.
10:30You know, you've got all this so wrong.
10:34So why are you all done up, man?
10:38Candles, food, making a big deal out of it.
10:41Why did Lydia even suggest it?
10:44Because I said that I thought we could do with spending some time together.
10:47Right.
10:48So you have said something to her.
10:50No.
10:51God, no.
10:51The only person I've talked to about you is you.
10:54So why did Sam say, get it while you can?
10:56When?
10:56Just before, at the pub.
10:58Well, I don't know.
10:59Just Sam being Sam, he was probably just teasing you.
11:01So you have been talking to me.
11:03You must have.
11:05Why are you trying to even get me into bed?
11:07That is not fair.
11:09That day I went for my scan at the hospital,
11:11I told you that nothing can break us, not even cancer.
11:15Sex doesn't matter, Cain.
11:17You matter.
11:18Is this all because you've got your new date come through
11:21and it suddenly got real?
11:22No.
11:23Then talk to me.
11:24I'm bored of talking about it.
11:25All we do is talk about it.
11:35Certain things were said yesterday that weren't nice.
11:38Yes.
11:39But you apologise, so let's draw a line under it and move on.
11:45I'm struggling too.
11:48I kept replaying it all night in my head
11:50and it's made me question myself.
11:54How?
11:55Because I feel like I'm dragging you down.
11:57I keep messing up, making mistake after mistake
12:01and then I overreact to your comments
12:03and it all piles up and messes with my head
12:05and I can't cope.
12:10So that's why I'm requesting a transfer
12:13to another department
12:14so I become someone else's problem.
12:17Please don't stand in my way.
12:21Let me push back the undertaker.
12:23We need to discuss this properly.
12:32Get in, loser.
12:35Whatever.
12:35I knew you'd spit your dummy out
12:37if I didn't let you win.
12:38Oh, as if I need pandering to.
12:40Alright, alright, alright.
12:41I suppose you won fair or square, bro.
12:44What?
12:45Yeah, it's just what I say, innit?
12:46It means you're cool.
12:48Oh, so I'm just in Cammy's cool gang, am I?
12:51Yeah.
12:53No.
12:54No, I mean, I mean
12:58I would really like to do this again.
13:01See how it goes.
13:02Yeah, me too.
13:03I've had a lot of fun.
13:04So have I.
13:06So, do you want another game?
13:08Yeah.
13:09You fancy getting thrashed,
13:10but winner gets the next round of drinks.
13:13Oh, how about when I win again
13:16you kiss me?
13:18Rack them up, eh, sap babe?
13:20LAUGHTER
13:23And do you know what?
13:24What are you doing here?
13:25Oh, who?
13:27What are you doing here?
13:28I'm a lady of leisure.
13:30You've got a job.
13:31Yeah, and I'm allowed to take a break.
13:33No, me next appointment's got for an hour,
13:35so, yeah, I thought I'd get my steps in.
13:37And you know what a sucker I am
13:38for a bit of lemon drizz.
13:41You OK?
13:42Yeah, I'm fine.
13:44Just spoke to me dad.
13:45He's in solitary.
13:47Yeah.
13:47Since when?
13:48Since he started a fight.
13:50Oh, my God.
13:52Should have heard him.
13:52I've heard about all sorts of things
13:54that just did not make sense.
13:56Well, go on, like what?
13:58Like, he started the fight
14:00because he wanted to be on his own.
14:02He did it on purpose
14:03because he felt safer
14:05away from everybody else.
14:09He's giving up, Mandy.
14:19I had no idea it was taking
14:20this much of a toll on you.
14:23You had so much going on.
14:25What's happening in my life
14:26doesn't change my duty of care.
14:29Looking after you as part of my role.
14:31I know, when you've done that,
14:33please don't think you've failed.
14:35This is on me.
14:37Can I be honest?
14:39Yeah.
14:41I think you're catastrophising.
14:44You believe that every problem
14:45is your fault
14:46and you twist yourself into knots
14:47that no-one has asked you to tie.
14:50Yes, you've made mistakes,
14:52maybe more than most,
14:53but you're still learning,
14:55so you need to stop
14:57beating yourself up.
14:58But I can't keep letting you down.
15:00Oh, Jacob.
15:01Jacob, come on.
15:05When you think about it properly,
15:08you're still grieving for your mum.
15:10Look at everything you're juggling.
15:12A new marriage,
15:13a baby on the way,
15:14your studies.
15:16No wonder you're stretched.
15:17Anyone would be.
15:20I suppose.
15:20And let me ask,
15:22if every time
15:23you
15:25felt uncomfortable,
15:26you ran to another department,
15:28what does that say
15:29about your resilience,
15:31your professionalism?
15:34I hadn't thought about that.
15:36Well, you should,
15:36because people notice
15:37and they judge.
15:40And what does it say
15:41about me
15:41to my peers
15:43and my colleagues
15:43on the medical board
15:44if suddenly one of my students
15:46asked for a transfer?
15:48It would reflect
15:49on my supervision,
15:50my competence.
15:53Gossip never listens,
15:55Jacob.
15:55Well, I'd make that clear.
15:56I'd explain.
15:58Saying it isn't enough.
16:00Perception matters.
16:02A transfer
16:03would be a disruption
16:05that neither of us needs.
16:08You need to trust the process.
16:11You need stability,
16:14guidance,
16:16someone who understands
16:17how you work
16:18and that is here
16:19with me.
16:22So let's put this silly idea
16:24of transferring away
16:25and pretend we never
16:27had this conversation.
16:32Oh, sorry.
16:33Am I interrupting?
16:34All fine.
16:35Jacob was just having
16:36a little wobble
16:36about yesterday.
16:37But we've resolved it.
16:40And I think we understand
16:41where each other
16:41are coming from now,
16:42right?
16:43Yeah, I understand everything.
16:45Thank you for making me see sense.
16:58So?
17:00So what?
17:01So did you tackle that bird
17:02at work?
17:03He was giving you a hard time.
17:05Yeah, but she didn't listen.
17:07Classic.
17:08You know what, mate?
17:09Some of them,
17:09they don't want a change.
17:10You might just have to
17:11suck it up.
17:12I'm sucking nothing up.
17:13I'm not doing this anymore.
17:28No need to creeper back.
17:30Flippin' heck, Moira.
17:32I just came back for this.
17:34Is Cain still upstairs?
17:36No.
17:38No, he's gone.
17:39But you had a nice time.
17:41Eh, not really, no.
17:45He's not in a very good place.
17:47And we heard words again.
17:49He's got the wrong end of the stick
17:51about lunch.
17:52Oh, not because of what Sam said
17:53at the pub.
17:55No.
17:55Didn't help, really.
17:56Oh, I'm sorry.
17:58You're getting it from all sides.
17:59Me and Cain.
18:03I just want him to be OK.
18:04Oh, he will be.
18:06What's that saying?
18:07We hurt the ones we love the most?
18:10He must love me a hell of a lot, then.
18:12Well, that's never been in any doubt.
18:14Come here.
18:18I knew he wasn't happy.
18:20He clearly had something
18:20he wanted to get off his chest.
18:22Well, it's got a lot on
18:23at the moment, I suppose.
18:25I said the same to him,
18:26but it doesn't give him
18:26a free pass to be intimidating.
18:30Intimidating?
18:31I told him I couldn't talk
18:33because I generally
18:33had a call to make
18:34and he wouldn't let it go.
18:36Put his foot in the door
18:37till I let him in.
18:38What Jacob did.
18:39And then he tried
18:40to apologise for yesterday,
18:42but it wasn't really an apology.
18:44It was like he was trying
18:45to blame me for it happening.
18:47Do you think he's upset
18:49that you didn't accept the champagne?
18:51Hmm.
18:52The last few days
18:53have been so unlike Jacob.
18:55He's always been polite to a fault.
18:58I know.
18:59I thought the same
19:00when he first started.
19:01So sweet and eager.
19:03Very keen to impress.
19:05But medical students
19:06can be cutthroat
19:07when the pressure hits.
19:09Some of them lash out
19:10when they feel
19:11insecure or rejected.
19:13Well, it sounds like
19:15you've handled it.
19:16Hmm.
19:16I've dealt with every type
19:17in my career.
19:18If it's not some middle-aged
19:20consultant who assumes
19:22I want to sleep with him,
19:23it's some student
19:24who thinks that
19:25undermining the woman
19:26in charge proves something.
19:28Comes with the territory.
19:30Well, I'm glad animals
19:31aren't sexist.
19:32Though I've had a few farmers
19:33that have made me bite my tongue.
19:35I mean, nothing like
19:36what you're describing, though.
19:38You must be shattered.
19:39Hmm.
19:39It's OK.
19:40Honestly.
19:41I don't fold that easily.
19:43They soon back off
19:45when they realise
19:45I won't be pushed about.
19:48I doubt Jacob
19:49will cause any more ripples.
19:53I'd like to make a complaint.
19:57A formal complaint.
19:59OK.
20:00And who is the complaint against?
20:04Dr Caitlin Todd.
20:09Can I ask the reasons?
20:17She's been bullying me.
20:21Consistently since the day
20:22she became my mentor.
20:24Her teaching style isn't just
20:27harsh, it's unsafe.
20:29Unsafe?
20:32She pits members of the team
20:34against each other.
20:36And I'm always
20:37made to feel like I'm failing
20:39no matter what I do.
20:42I find myself second-guessing
20:44everything, like
20:44I'm walking on eggshells
20:46around her.
20:52And I'm scared.
20:55I'm scared of how
20:56she'll react to anything
20:57I say or do.
20:59When you say you're
21:00scared of her reaction,
21:01what do you mean?
21:05I mean, I'm not sleeping well.
21:08If at all.
21:10I'm sick most mornings.
21:13I don't even really want to
21:14come to work anymore,
21:15but I have to because I feel
21:16what she can do to my career.
21:18It's not fair.
21:20She's in a position of power
21:21and she abuses it.
21:26She abuses me.
21:32I'm done being afraid.
21:35She needs to be held
21:36accountable and I'm going to
21:37make sure she is.
