00:00MUSIC
00:14Giving Mummy a break.
00:16I had you, Dan, as more of a papoose kind of a man.
00:21Some men struggle while others take to fatherhood like a fish to water.
00:24Which one are you?
00:25It's not easy.
00:26Nothing of meaning ever is.
00:28But, um, it must feel good to have a nice little holiday.
00:32It's paternity leave, not a holiday.
00:34Yes, of course.
00:35But while some sleep, the competition wakes up.
00:38I'm sorry?
00:39Fuck my dad used to say to me.
00:41I'm not sleeping.
00:42No, and neither is your colleague, Richard.
00:45It's fair to say, he is shining in your absence.
00:48This time off, I'm entitled to it.
00:50It doesn't mean that I'm not looking forward to getting back to work.
00:53Entitled.
00:54The buzzword of a whole generation.
00:56And snowflake.
00:57I'm not snowflake or entitled.
00:59No, of course you're not.
01:01Labels always apply to someone else, don't they?
01:03But you do have choices, though, Jacob.
01:05You get back to work, or you stay at home,
01:08wondering which teat is best to put your baby on.
01:18Do we have to go in?
01:19I don't want to go anywhere.
01:20Come on, what are you all frightened of?
01:22I've opened you hundreds of times.
01:24It just feels a bit different, though.
01:25Come on.
01:31Here they are, the innocent three.
01:34Finally, justice has done what it's supposed to do.
01:37It's great to see you, gents.
01:38Must be a massive weight off your shoulders.
01:40Jimmy, I was convicted.
01:41I got a suspended sentence.
01:43Yeah, and what he did, he did for me.
01:45He did nothing wrong.
01:46Dad, I told you.
01:47Nothing to feel guilty about.
01:49And a suspended sentence.
01:51Everybody knows what that means.
01:52Nothing.
01:53The main thing is,
01:54you're free to get on with your lives again.
01:57What life?
01:59Take a seat.
02:01I'll be along for your order.
02:03Today, it's on the house.
02:04You don't have to do that.
02:05I want to.
02:12You OK, sweetheart?
02:14Yeah, it just feels like people are looking at me.
02:16No, they're not.
02:18You don't even feel.
02:19Slam them, eh?
02:20Cos this,
02:21this is what being innocent looks like.
02:23What it looks like doesn't matter.
02:25People are going to think I'm a criminal
02:26for a very long time.
02:28That's just me, nobody else.
02:30You're choking me.
02:31After what you did in that courtroom,
02:32standing up there,
02:33speaking out,
02:34people, that's what heroes do.
02:36I could not be more proud of you.
02:39Well, I won't feel that much of an hero
02:40if that disciplinary hearing doesn't go on my way.
02:42I'd have to come and work for you in the salon.
02:44Oh, yeah.
02:44We're rushed down our feet at the moment.
02:47Good to be busy, isn't it?
02:48Which is why
02:50I've got something lined up for you, you know.
02:52What can I get you?
02:5757!
02:59Impressive!
03:00I was aiming for 20.
03:02and, er,
03:02the other times
03:03I really didn't mean to miss
03:04the board.
03:06You've also got other things
03:07on your mind.
03:08Any word on Paddy's disciplinary hearing?
03:10Oh,
03:11not yet.
03:12I can't stop thinking about it.
03:14What if it doesn't go his way?
03:16Vanessa,
03:16the most important thing is
03:17that all three of them
03:18walked out
03:19of the courtroom.
03:21Everything he's been through,
03:22though,
03:22and it hasn't ended yet.
03:23He's still suspended
03:24from the surgery.
03:26It could have been so much worse.
03:27It won't happen overnight,
03:28but with friends like you
03:29and Rona by his side,
03:30good, loyal friends,
03:31that'd be so much easier.
03:34Are you sure she doesn't
03:35want to be more than just friends?
03:37Don't.
03:39Is it just me
03:40or does every new mum
03:41leaves to find?
03:42Oh,
03:42as long as it's not the baby.
03:43Isn't she beautiful?
03:46Yeah,
03:46she has her moments.
03:47At that age,
03:48you need to savour
03:49every moment.
03:50It still mystifies me
03:51why so many fathers
03:52can't wait to go back to work.
03:53Well,
03:54probably,
03:54because work is easier.
03:56And Jacob's obviously
03:57at the front of that queue.
03:59Is he?
04:00Sorry,
04:00has he said something?
04:02Oh,
04:02probably nothing
04:03you don't know already.
04:04But to quote,
04:05I'm entitled to time off.
04:06That doesn't mean
04:07I'm not looking forward
04:08to getting back to work.
04:09You are a very understanding wife.
04:11Good for you.
04:12I'm not so sure I would be.
04:21So when were you
04:22going to tell your
04:22silly little housewife
04:23that you can't wait
04:24to get back to work?
04:26Sorry?
04:27What are you talking about?
04:28Why are you calling yourself that?
04:29Because that's what I am,
04:30isn't it?
04:31Happy to stay at home
04:32and do all the parents' stuff
04:33while you can't wait
04:33to escape back to the hospital?
04:35Sarah!
04:35Do you know what?
04:35I don't know what's worse.
04:36Finding out that you're so miserable
04:37or finding out from someone else.
04:38Maybe we should talk about this later.
04:40Who exactly...
04:41Your boss, Jacob.
04:42Doctor Todd.
04:44And yeah, we will talk
04:44about this later.
04:50Wedding bells.
04:53Hey, if you ever decide
04:54to change the name
04:55and take a vow,
04:56you could call it that.
04:59Because...
04:59Bell works there too.
05:02You can have that.
05:03Thank you, Jimmy.
05:11Business or pleasure?
05:13What are you doing here?
05:14Someone's jumpy today.
05:15Yeah, well, you crept up on me.
05:17In answer to your question,
05:18pleasure.
05:19I'm just looking for availability.
05:21Okay.
05:22We could always pay,
05:23make sure someone has availability.
05:25It's your answer to everything,
05:27isn't it?
05:27Money.
05:28Hey, this is our wedding day.
05:29I want you to have
05:30the best day possible.
05:31And in answer to your question,
05:32no, it's not always about money.
05:34Hey, are you still on
05:36for our meeting there?
05:38Yeah.
05:39Yeah, why wouldn't it be?
05:40Well, I don't want to say
05:41you've taken your eye off the ball recently,
05:42but...
05:42Well, maybe a dingle ball.
05:44Isn't that interesting?
05:44I'll be there
05:45and I haven't taken my eye off anything.
05:49Oh, speak of the devil.
05:51Hey, I've got one for you.
05:53What do you think of
05:55wedding bells?
05:59They just leave a smell
06:00wherever they go, don't they?
06:02Ciao.
06:08Put it in.
06:09Yeah.
06:10Well, the kids help me choose that.
06:12I'll be honest,
06:13I'm not 100% sure
06:14what I'm looking at there,
06:15but I've never been
06:16more excited about anything
06:18in my entire life.
06:19Almost as excited as the kids.
06:21They're counting down the days.
06:23Shit.
06:26I'm sorry.
06:27Why have you brought me here?
06:28Liam said he needs help.
06:29You're not doing anything else, are you?
06:32Welcome.
06:33You join me at a time
06:34when the land is offering up
06:35its most precious gift.
06:39Look at the asparagus.
06:41Nothing says early summer
06:42more than these
06:43magnificent spears of deliciousness.
06:46You can almost hear them
06:46singing in the soil.
06:49I can't hear anything.
06:50We don't only have
06:51the king of vegetables,
06:52but we've also got
06:53spring onions,
06:54a glut of radishes,
06:56almost an embarrassment of rhubarb.
06:58I'm sure they look like
06:58you're going to be busy.
06:59Whoopie do.
07:00I'll even see it.
07:01Don't make two hours.
07:08Oi.
07:09Sorry, I was just on my way to the...
07:11Do what you want to me,
07:12but don't you dare
07:12bring my family into it.
07:14I think you're going to have
07:14to elaborate.
07:15I'm not quite sure
07:16what you're referring to.
07:17Oh, I think you do.
07:18Making out that I don't
07:19want to be at home.
07:20That Layla's doing my head in.
07:21That I can't wait
07:22to get back to work.
07:23I'm not quite sure
07:24you're ready to go back to work.
07:25Are you actually
07:25getting enough sleep?
07:26Seriously, what is wrong with you?
07:28And I could ask you
07:28the same question, Jacob.
07:30Honestly, if you're struggling,
07:31perhaps you need
07:32to talk to someone.
07:33I'm talking to you.
07:34Well, you're going to have
07:34to hit the pause button
07:35because nature calls.
07:44I can't do this.
07:46I'm sorry.
07:46I know I said I could,
07:48but I can't.
07:49It's just too much, all right?
07:50I don't want to let you down.
07:51Hey, hey, hey, slow down.
07:54Joe's told the kids I'm pregnant
07:55and now it's all
07:57they're talking about.
07:57They think they've got
07:58this whole home farm
07:59family life stretching
08:00in front of them.
08:01It doesn't even exist.
08:03OK, but the money
08:04you're going to get from Joe,
08:05they'll get a better one.
08:06Moira, do you think
08:07it's that easy?
08:08You've no idea
08:09how close they are to him now.
08:10Because they don't know
08:11who he is, what he is.
08:13He's a different person
08:14with us, OK?
08:15He is.
08:16I know you don't get it,
08:17you won't believe it,
08:17but it's true.
08:18And this isn't about the money.
08:19We both knew
08:20this wasn't going to be easy
08:21and we're just getting started.
08:23No, I'm just getting started.
08:25I'm the one
08:26who's having to pretend
08:27and I can't do it.
08:37Wrong door.
08:38I'm not letting this go,
08:40no way.
08:40Oh, no.
08:41What are you going to do?
08:41Stamp your feet some more,
08:43spit your dummy out.
08:44I'm sure there's a few
08:44of those lying around
08:45at home.
08:47You are a bully.
08:48Oh, that old chestnut again.
08:49You get off on it.
08:51Punch him down
08:52like you're on some power trip
08:53or something.
08:53And shall I tell you
08:54what you are?
08:54You are a weak,
08:55maladjusted young man
08:56with a huge chip on his shoulder
08:57who clearly doesn't like
08:58having a woman as his boss.
09:00That is not true.
09:01And I don't want to throw
09:01any labels around
09:02to call you a misogynist,
09:03but if the women-hating cat fits...
09:04Are you serious?
09:05I don't hate women,
09:07I just hate you!
09:08What the hell are you doing?
09:26I just needed to speak to her.
09:28So you wait outside?
09:30You don't just barge
09:31into women's spaces.
09:33Honestly, I'm fine.
09:34It's fine.
09:35I wasn't scared.
09:37You need to get out.
09:38Now!
09:39Vanessa, I really wasn't
09:40trying to scare her.
09:40Don't make me have to tell you again.
09:48Thank God the cavalry arrived.
09:50I can't believe that just happened.
09:52Oh, it's nothing.
09:52It was a big misunderstanding.
09:53He just got himself
09:54a bit riled up.
09:55Yeah, but it's not
09:56for the first time, is it?
09:57I need to have words with him.
09:58No, no, no, no, no.
09:59It's nothing I can't do with myself.
10:00Yeah, but you shouldn't have to.
10:02Who knows what would have happened
10:03if I hadn't have walked in.
10:04No, but you did.
10:04And it's over now.
10:06He's a new father.
10:07He's probably all over the place.
10:08No, but that's...
10:09It's no excuse.
10:11They're a young family.
10:12It's not easy.
10:14What if he's making things
10:15even harder?
10:16Sometimes you have to
10:17tread carefully.
10:18No point throwing
10:19any petrol on the flames.
10:21He really doesn't have a clue
10:23how lucky he is
10:23to have a boss like you.
10:30If you've already made a decision
10:31there's little that I can say
10:33to change your mind.
10:35But you're going to try anyway.
10:37When it all does
10:38get too much for you
10:40and deep down
10:41you know it will
10:43how easy do you think
10:44he's going to make it
10:44for you to walk away?
10:48But then it'll be too late
10:49because he will never
10:50let you leave with his child.
10:53And he will
10:53fight you in court
10:55with everything that he's got
10:56and things you don't even
10:57know he's got
10:58and you won't be able to fight.
11:02How did I even get here?
11:05No, what you should
11:06still be asking yourself
11:07is how will I ever
11:08get away from here?
11:09And you already know
11:10the answer.
11:12And this might not be
11:13about money, Dawn
11:14but if you go to war
11:15with him
11:16you're going to need
11:17all the weapons
11:18you could lay your hands on
11:19and they don't come cheap.
11:21I know you just want
11:22to stick the knife in him
11:24but it won't be blood
11:25on your hands
11:26it'll be money in the bank.
11:28I swear to God
11:29this isn't about that.
11:30I don't need a cut
11:31however big it is
11:33I don't need anything
11:34from that man.
11:35And you're not doing
11:36this for me.
11:37You're not even doing
11:38it for yourself
11:38you are doing it
11:39for your kids.
11:42You are a lot stronger
11:43than you think, Dawn.
11:44You just need to fight.
11:47I'm sick of fighting Moira.
11:50I've done it my whole life.
11:51And we can all help you.
11:53You just need to let us
11:55help you.
12:01I owe you a pint.
12:02A hard day's work
12:03always deserves reward.
12:05I don't care if I never
12:06see a radish again.
12:07Oh, come off it.
12:09You loved every minute.
12:09I think you should thank
12:10your son for volunteering.
12:11Yeah, probably.
12:12And will there be
12:13anybody else in the room?
12:15Right.
12:15And the decision
12:17will that be there and then
12:18or will they have to wait?
12:19Vet board.
12:20And how long does that take
12:21usually?
12:23OK.
12:24No, it's fine.
12:25I probably won't sleep
12:26tonight but...
12:27All right, I'll see you
12:28tomorrow.
12:29Bye-bye.
12:31Flippin' heck.
12:31What are you two?
12:32The allotment?
12:34Never mind the allotment.
12:34What were they about?
12:35Sounds serious.
12:37Disciplinary oven.
12:37It's tomorrow.
12:38Well, better sooner
12:39rather than later,
12:40I suppose.
12:41Pint, pint.
12:41Yes, please.
12:42Yeah, go on then.
12:44Look, Paddy,
12:46I know it's like
12:46really important.
12:47Really important?
12:48It's everything.
12:49If I'm not a vet,
12:50I don't know what I am.
12:50Yeah, but the main thing
12:51is you're not in prison.
12:53If I don't get my job
12:54back tomorrow,
12:54therefore my life,
12:55I might as well be in prison.
12:57Once they come to the senses,
12:57they'll give you your job
12:58back in a heartbeat.
13:00Yeah, well, hopefully
13:01there's a tiny little
13:02chink of light right
13:03at the very end of the tunnel.
13:05I think we'll hurry
13:06out the tunnel, Paddy.
13:06You should have realised it.
13:11Thanks, babe.
13:17Vanessa.
13:19I swore I wouldn't
13:20say anything.
13:21Look, about before.
13:22What the hell
13:22were you doing?
13:23Whatever you think you know.
13:24I know that you walked
13:26into the ladies' toilet
13:27making a woman
13:27feel very uncomfortable.
13:29I don't want to say frightened.
13:30Frightened?
13:31Are you serious?
13:32Did she even tell you
13:33why I was in there?
13:34Because you clearly
13:35have a problem
13:35with a female boss.
13:37There's some weird
13:37power dynamic
13:38going on with you.
13:39No, she's been telling Sarah
13:40that I'm desperate
13:41to get back to work.
13:42That I pretty much
13:43hated being a dad.
13:44Just all lies.
13:45I only see one liar
13:46and it isn't your boss.
13:47No, but she is the liar.
13:49She is the one
13:50with the problem.
13:51What, so you decided
13:51to barge into the women's
13:52toilet and attack her?
13:53I didn't attack her.
13:55Is that what she said?
13:56Just stay away from her,
13:57do you hear me?
13:58Because if I have to,
13:59I will make sure
14:00there'll be real consequences.
14:01Vanessa, you don't...
14:03Just stop!
14:05I hate saying this, Jacob,
14:06but honestly,
14:08your mother would be
14:09ashamed of you.
14:11Sorry, what is going on?
14:13Let him tell you.
14:18What was all that about?
14:21It's nothing.
14:23Jacob, that was not nothing.
14:26Fine, I'll go ask
14:26for a mess myself then,
14:27shall I?
14:29It's Dr. Todd.
14:33She's been bullying me.
14:39It's a new door.
14:41It's a new door.
14:43What's up?
14:44What's wrong?
14:45Nothing.
14:46I'm fine.
14:46It's my laptop playing up.
14:48It's technology.
14:48You know what I'm like.
14:49Yes, I do know what you're like.
14:50Because you're my wife.
14:52And I know there's nothing
14:53wrong with your laptop.
14:54Honestly, babe,
14:54it's not important.
14:56After everything
14:56you've been through,
14:57look, now you're
14:58on the other side.
15:00I don't want you
15:01worrying about me.
15:02Mandy?
15:03Are you serious?
15:04I'm so.
15:06I can't solve the problem
15:07if I don't know
15:07what the problem is.
15:09Yeah, well,
15:10some things can't be solved.
15:13I thought you were
15:13rushed off your feet.
15:19Oh.
15:20It's been like this
15:21for ages.
15:23I've had no bookings,
15:24like, no walkings,
15:25and with everything
15:26that's been going on,
15:27my head just wanted
15:28the right place to fix it.
15:29It's OK.
15:30No, it's not OK
15:31because I don't know
15:31what I've done wrong.
15:32Everyone just wants
15:33the old singing,
15:34old dancing,
15:35fancy places in town.
15:36Hang on.
15:38Is this anything
15:38to do with me?
15:39What I've done?
15:40People knowing
15:41that you're married to me?
15:42No, no, no, no,
15:43come on.
15:43Now you're overthinking things.
15:47I don't know
15:47what I'm going to do.
15:51It's going to be all right.
15:52And all things
15:53probably look bad
15:53at the moment.
15:54It is bad.
15:55No, actually,
15:56do you know what it's worth?
15:57It's horrific.
15:58I've got my overheads,
15:59the rent,
16:01and...
16:02I don't think
16:02I'm going to want to survive.
16:13It's a starting point.
16:14So what are you saying, Belle?
16:16It's a good idea,
16:16but it's not good enough.
16:17Surely you agree
16:18if we're changing the tagline
16:19of the whole business
16:19we speak to professionals.
16:20Am I not a professional?
16:21No, Don,
16:22I'm sorry,
16:23but you're not.
16:23I mean,
16:23you bring other great stuff
16:24to the company.
16:26Okay, all right.
16:28Refreshments?
16:30No, I'm going to take this.
16:32Hi.
16:33Thanks so much
16:34for calling me back.
16:36If only that annoying bell
16:37would stop ringing.
16:40I just feel like
16:41I'm banging my head
16:41against the brick wall.
16:42No, no,
16:43something much more dense,
16:44much harder.
16:45A dingle.
16:47I know it sounds awful,
16:49but I wish I could
16:50own take of all myself.
16:52I mean,
16:52I don't have to listen
16:53to her questioning me
16:54putting the brakes on.
16:56Maybe you could.
16:59Sure, yeah,
16:59I'll just buy Belle out.
17:01I could buy her out.
17:04Seriously?
17:06When it comes to business
17:07and putting dingles
17:08in their place,
17:10I'm always serious.
17:12No, no, no way.
17:13Why?
17:14Because I couldn't
17:15ask you to do that.
17:16What if I insisted?
17:18Bye, Don.
17:25I don't even remember
17:26when it started.
17:28Or what made it start.
17:32I mean,
17:33she was pretty hard
17:33with everyone.
17:35All the students,
17:36but with me,
17:37she just got harder
17:37and harder.
17:39Like it was
17:40actually personal.
17:43And all I could think
17:44was why.
17:45What had I done wrong?
17:47Nothing.
17:49I mean,
17:50I didn't get things
17:50right all the time.
17:52I made some mistakes,
17:54didn't know the answers
17:54to all the questions,
17:55but I wasn't the only one.
17:58But I was the only one
17:59that she'd pick on.
18:02And you know me,
18:03I'm not like,
18:04I'm not overly sensitive.
18:06No, totally.
18:11I know,
18:12but it felt like
18:13she was waiting
18:13for me to mess up
18:15so she could stamp
18:16on me again.
18:18And then sometimes
18:19she wouldn't even wait,
18:20she would just
18:20keep kicking me
18:21like she wanted
18:22a reaction
18:23just so she could
18:24fail me.
18:25Look,
18:26there's some people
18:26who are just
18:26not wired right.
18:29I'm so sorry,
18:30Jacob.
18:38I want to be
18:39a doctor so much.
18:42But she makes me
18:43dread going to
18:44the hospital.
18:46I don't sleep.
18:53And then I feel
18:54knackered and
18:56I go in
18:57and I
18:59look at
19:00and I just
19:00feel sick.
19:03Like I'm
19:04waiting for her
19:04to come for me
19:05again.
19:12I don't know
19:13who I am
19:13anymore.
19:16What I'm
19:16meant to be.
19:17Listen,
19:18you are my
19:18husband.
19:19You are the
19:20father to our
19:20baby and
19:21now I know
19:21what you're
19:22going through.
19:22we can
19:22deal with
19:23this
19:23together.
19:29I love you
19:30and we're
19:31going to get

19:32okay?
19:32I'm going to
19:33help you.
19:34I can't believe
19:35it's over.
19:36I know
19:36Paddy's got a
19:37suspended
19:37sentence but...
19:39At least
19:39they're not
19:39behind bars.
19:41Yeah,
19:41some people
19:42don't know
19:42what that's
19:42like.
19:44Sometimes you
19:45wake up and
19:45it feels like
19:46you're still in
19:46there.
19:47And you leave
19:48prison but it
19:49takes a while
19:49for prison
19:49to leave
19:50here.
19:52Have you
19:52heard of
19:53knocking?
19:53No,
19:54you're going
19:54to want to
19:54hear this.
19:55Okay,
19:56what would
19:56you say if
19:57Joe wanted
19:57to buy you
19:58out of
19:58take a while?
19:59Are you
20:00serious?
20:00Well,
20:00I'd say
20:01that someone's
20:01put the
20:02idea in his
20:02head,
20:02Don.
20:03We'd
20:04angle the
20:04bait any
20:05bit.
20:06You joking?
20:07Bit
20:07hard.
