01:00Good morning, Elaine.
01:23No, it isn't.
01:25I'll be five minutes.
01:26I'm just following out.
01:35Morning, Louisa.
01:36Oh, hi, Martin.
01:37Oh, sorry.
01:38Let me. I'll get it.
01:39Bye-bye.
01:40Sorry.
01:41Somehow I've agreed to surfing club of all things.
01:42I think what clinched it was the kids saying I was too old.
01:45Oh, nonsense.
01:46People of all ages go surfing.
01:47Yeah, well, perhaps you should come along.
01:50It's great to see you out in that suit.
01:52And in a wet suit.
01:55Sorry.
01:56Come on.
01:57Bye.
02:25Right, sir.
02:26We'll soon have you up here.
02:27Nice and easy now.
02:28And down.
02:29That's it.
02:30There we are.
02:31OK, now.
02:32All under control.
02:33There we are.
02:34Let's get him up.
02:35Hi, can you hear me?
02:37I'm Dr. Ellingham.
02:38Do you know your name?
02:39Marty.
02:40OK, Marty.
02:41You think you can walk?
02:42Not me.
02:43You.
02:44Your little Marty.
02:45Here, lean on me, sir.
02:46It's a bit slippery here.
02:47There we are.
02:49Look straight ahead, please.
02:53Watch my finger.
02:57Hmm.
02:58Any lightheadedness or dizziness?
03:00No.
03:01Then what went wrong with your dinghy?
03:03I don't know.
03:04The throttle jammed.
03:05Hmm.
03:06Well, you don't seem concussed.
03:08Would you like to take your shirt off, please?
03:10I want to examine your chest.
03:11No, thanks.
03:12I'm fine.
03:13If you don't let me examine you properly, then I can't...
03:15I said I'm fine.
03:17Right.
03:18If you'd like to give me your details,
03:20I'll contact your GP and inform him of your fineness.
03:23In the meantime, I'd like you to stay in the surgery for an hour
03:26just for observation.
03:27You really don't remember me, do you?
03:29No, I don't.
03:30Slater.
03:31John Slater.
03:33Friend of Joan's.
03:35I used to live round here, months ago.
03:38I once took you and Joan to Padstow on my boat for the day,
03:42but we haven't come back early, cos you wet yourself
03:45and Joan didn't have a spare pair of trousers.
03:47Well, that must be an amusing memory for you.
03:49Do you know the name and address of your GP?
03:51I don't have a GP. I live in Hong Kong.
03:53How are they?
03:54Who?
03:55Joan and Phil.
03:57Phil?
03:58Well, Phil is dead.
04:02Who's dead?
04:03Years ago.
04:06And Joan?
04:07Joan's as strong as an ox.
04:09Yeah, I'll bet.
04:12What happened to her?
04:13I don't know. She just died.
04:14What do you mean, just died? You must know.
04:16I was probably too busy wetting myself to notice.
04:19Forgive me.
04:20You're a friend of Joan's. Why don't you ask her?
04:22I will.
04:24She's still got a farm.
04:27Excuse me.
04:29It's been tossed and he's killed my arm!
04:32What the hell's going on?
04:34He killed my arm!
04:36It's not my fault.
04:37Let me have a look at it.
04:38Don't touch it! You're not touching it!
04:40All right, what happened?
04:41Come through me!
04:42I warned you!
04:44Don't help me, please!
04:45What's your name?
04:46Melanie.
04:47Melanie, you go through another surgery.
04:49And you, wait there.
04:50Thanks very much for the sandals, little Marty.
04:52I'll bring them back later.
04:53Well, wait a minute.
04:54Don't help me, please!
04:55All right, keep going, keep going.
04:57Straight through.
04:59Pillock.
05:02Don't touch it! I told you not to touch it!
05:07I think you've dislocated your shoulder.
05:09Just got a check for fractures.
05:11Oh, please!
05:12Please help me!
05:15What are you doing?
05:16No! No!
05:18No!
05:19Please!
05:25All right, now face me.
05:30Yep.
05:32How did you do that?
05:34Dislocated shoulder.
05:35Might be a bit sore for a couple of days,
05:37but if you have any problems, come and see me.
05:39Oh, my God.
05:40Mm-hm.
05:47Bye.
05:48Yes.
06:01No receptions rubbish here, didn't you?
06:04Yeah, like one bar.
06:09Your stuff's arrived at the pharmacy,
06:11so you'd better go get it.
06:13No, I don't...
06:14No, no, don't speak to me now!
06:33Morning, Doc.
06:34Al.
06:39That thing is crap.
06:42Morning, Elaine.
06:43And the printer didn't work.
06:45Well, come and show me what you're doing.
06:55You and Greg still...
06:56It's history.
06:57Yeah.
06:58I told him.
07:00You all right?
07:01Yeah.
07:02Like I even care.
07:06Yeah.
07:09Yeah, it's surgery.
07:11Mm.
07:12Open till six.
07:13Yeah.
07:15So, look.
07:20And click.
07:24And...
07:30There.
07:40How do you do that?
07:43Get a grip.
07:44It's not that clever.
07:53Aunty Joan?
07:54Marty!
07:55There's a man in town claiming to be a friend of yours.
07:58John Slater. Obnoxious.
08:00He didn't know that Uncle Phil had died,
08:02so I assumed he wasn't a great friend.
08:04John?
08:05Where is he?
08:06He's here.
08:07His yacht's moored just round the headland.
08:09But he lives in Hong Kong.
08:11Well, he crashes his dinghy in Portwen.
08:13Is he all right?
08:14Yeah, I think so.
08:15Bert Lodge did his best to try and concuss him,
08:17but unfortunately with no success.
08:19Is he all right?
08:20Yes, I just said he was.
08:21Good.
08:22Good.
08:23Well, now, if he asks after me, tell him I'm not...
08:26I've gone up to London for business.
08:28Why?
08:29Oh, do stop asking questions.
08:31I'm just not here.
08:32Well, he's already asked about you.
08:34Well, I don't want to see him.
08:36And he's standing right behind you.
08:40I think Joan would rather be left alone.
08:42Bugger off, little Marty.
08:44Wait a moment!
08:45No, it's all right, it's all right, Marty.
08:55You're looking good.
08:57What are you doing here?
08:59I'm just passing through, just...
09:01just touring on the yacht.
09:04You can't just pop up after...
09:08Maybe we could get together and visit some of the old haunts.
09:14You know, John, I think it would be...
09:16I think it would be best if you just got back on your boat.
09:34Hiya.
09:35How are you?
09:36Fine.
09:37You really saved me.
09:39I was just doing my job.
09:41I made you a cake to say thank you.
09:44A cake?
09:45Melanie...
09:46I bet nobody remembers to say thank you.
09:48No, no, you're right there.
09:49They don't.
09:50So go on.
09:51Use my mum's best cooking chocolate.
09:54Well, thank you.
09:57That looks very nice.
09:59Well, I'll see you later.
10:01That looks very nice.
10:02Well, you're very nice.
10:06I'm sure you're very nice too.
10:10See you.
10:20Excuse me.
10:21I've brought Marty's shoes back.
10:23Is he back?
10:26What have you been doing?
10:28What is your problem?
10:29I've brought your shoes back, OK?
10:31No, I mean you look flushed.
10:33Yeah, well, I'd forgotten about Cornwall.
10:35Everywhere is uphill.
10:37No, no, no.
10:38Your breathing shouldn't be that laboured.
10:40I'll have a look at you.
10:41Come through.
10:54Do you have a history of heart trouble?
10:56In more ways than one.
10:58Why didn't you tell me?
11:00I didn't come here for medical care.
11:05You have a very eccentric heartbeat.
11:07Atrial fibrillation.
11:09I got rheumatic fever when I first went to Hong Kong.
11:12Embolism, angioplasty, stent, you name it.
11:15Are you taking any medication?
11:17The boat rattles every time I go about.
11:20So your dinghy, that wasn't a jammed throttle, was it?
11:25No, I forget the technical term.
11:28Sometimes when I stand up, my blood pressure suddenly drops.
11:31Orthostatic hypertension.
11:33Yeah. I lose control.
11:35It doesn't last very long and it's not a problem on the open sea.
11:39It's not a great idea in a motorboat, though, is it?
11:42Could have killed someone.
11:44Yeah.
11:48You OK?
11:51I'll send the blood for a sedimentation rate check
11:55and book you in for some tests in Truro.
11:57No, thanks.
11:59You don't understand. You could be very seriously ill.
12:02Look, I didn't come all this way to sit in a hospital in Truro.
12:05Just to be clear, I'm not sending you for tests because I like you.
12:09Just to be clear, I'm not going to hospital whether you like me or not.
12:12Fine. That's your lookout.
12:15Blood tests will be ready in a couple of days. Goodbye.
12:20Oh, by the way, I don't want Joan to know about this.
12:24You understand?
12:28It's none of my business.
12:31But don't...
12:33What?
12:35Don't upset Joan.
12:37Yeah. You're right.
12:40None of your business.
12:51Lunch.
12:54What?
12:56You want to get one of those iPods?
12:58Yeah. Let me load it up for you.
13:00Yeah?
13:02Yeah. You can groove all day to one of those.
13:04Don't say groove.
13:07OK.
13:09Pipe me.
13:14I'm sorry.
13:16Pipe me.
13:21The chorus. You like them?
13:24Yeah.
13:26What do you listen to?
13:28I don't know. All sorts.
13:31I like a bit of rap.
13:34Got Eminem in the van.
13:35Bit of Dido.
13:37Alanis.
13:39Do you like Portrait's Head?
13:40Portrait's Head, yeah.
13:42Glory Box. Brilliant song.
13:43Yeah. I know that.
13:45And have you heard John Martin's cover of Glory Box?
13:47Now that is unreal.
13:50You know John Martin?
13:53Like, no-one knows John Martin.
13:55Know him? I've got every single album.
13:58Have you heard his remix version of...
14:01Hello?
14:05Yeah, Dad, I'm coming over later.
14:08Whatever.
14:09I don't know whatever.
14:16Auntie Joan?
14:18Oh, what are you after, Marty?
14:20Just wanted to check you're all right.
14:22Oh, I'm all right. I'm always all right.
14:24I've been all right all my life.
14:26Good old reliable Joan.
14:28Why the sudden interest?
14:30Oh, this man, um, Slater.
14:33John.
14:34Yeah. No, there's something wrong with him.
14:36Oh, for God's sake, Marty.
14:39Do you think he's come to stake a claim to my millions?
14:42Well, it's just that, um, I can tell.
14:46Obviously, he's hurt you in the past.
14:49Oh, Marty, your ideas of relationships
14:52are firmly stuck in the 18th century.
14:55I hurt him.
14:57I sent him away.
15:00So, please, don't make assumptions
15:04about whether people are decent or not
15:06until you have the facts.
15:08What, so you were enamoured, were you?
15:11We were lovers.
15:13Which you married Phil?
15:15Indeed.
15:17What, so this John Slater
15:20can't cope that you've decided to marry Phil?
15:23I had already married Phil.
15:28Oh.
15:29Yes. Oh.
15:33Uh, right, I, um...
15:36I see. Sorry.
15:38Oh, Martin.
15:40Go and do your job. Cure a few people.
16:06LAUGHTER
16:11Martin came over and I found myself speaking up for you,
16:15so I decided it would be churlish not to speak to you.
16:20I've just been hearing about Phil.
16:23I'm sorry.
16:25I hope there are nicer ways to go than we're to near him.
16:28And I hope there are people who nurse their loved ones
16:32better than I did.
16:34I wish I'd known.
16:36What would have been the point?
16:38You've just got married.
16:40Have you brought your wife with you?
16:42No, I haven't.
16:43Who, Amy?
16:45Amy lasted five minutes.
16:48Oh.
16:49Amy wasn't you.
16:50Oh, don't be ridiculous.
16:52It's true.
16:53I gave up on marriage after that.
16:55Then why didn't you come back?
16:57You sent me away.
16:59What could I do? I was in exile.
17:02I was alone, not a penny in the world.
17:05Oh, yes.
17:06And how long did that last?
17:08Oh, yeah, well, the finances managed to sort themselves out.
17:12Yes, they certainly did.
17:13You were listed on the Hang Seng Index, weren't you?
17:15Yeah, that took a little longer.
17:17And if there was a stock market for womanisers,
17:20you'd be listed on that too.
17:22What about...
17:24What about now?
17:26What about us?
17:29Go on.
17:31I haven't got room in my life nowadays.
17:35And, anyway, we're both 105.
17:50Melanie?
17:53Can't stop from meeting my dad at the leisure centre.
17:56It goes mental if you're late.
17:58How was the cake?
18:00Oh, fine, thank you.
18:01You didn't have to give me a card as well.
18:03Yeah, I did.
18:04You're lovely.
18:06People don't realise they think you're Bobman, but you're not.
18:09You're fab.
18:11Melanie, any doctor would have done what I did.
18:13Yeah, but you're special.
18:15You were like the big boss in London, weren't you?
18:17I was a surgeon, yes.
18:19See, you don't go boasting, neither.
18:21Melanie, listen.
18:23Did you know our names begin with the same letter?
18:25What?
18:27Martin.
18:28Melanie.
18:30Melanie.
18:34Got to go.
18:36See you.
18:38See you.
18:51Oh, God.
19:03All right?
19:05I've been looking for you.
19:07You could ask me out.
19:09Oh, you was with Greg, weren't you?
19:10Yeah.
19:11Also, you were a bit of a non.
19:14Yeah, I suppose I was.
19:15Yeah.
19:16But you're not a non anymore.
19:19So...
19:21you could ask me out.
19:25OK.
19:28Do you want to go out?
19:29I don't know.
19:32Or are you a good kisser?
19:34I don't know.
19:38What's that?
19:40It's Al.
19:42Yeah, it's Al and me, so shut it.
19:46You haven't seen nothing, innit?
19:49Sorry, Lee.
19:53What about Greg?
19:55Not bad.
19:57We got a lush firm.
19:58Thanks.
19:59Right, you can call me, but I'm not your girlfriend, OK?
20:03Right.
20:05Right.
20:07Right.
20:09OK?
20:11OK.
20:30Hello, Melanie.
20:32I brought Mary.
20:34I thought you could walk her a dog, too.
20:35That way no one would suspect anything.
20:38Suspect what?
20:40I don't have a dog.
20:42You know what.
20:44And you somehow got a dog.
20:46Melanie, I think there's been a bit of a misunderstanding.
20:49Like what?
20:51Like that I could be interested in you.
20:56But you took my cake.
20:58I was being polite.
21:00You said I was a nice person.
21:04Don't worry, I wouldn't tell anyone.
21:07Well, that would be because there's nothing to tell.
21:09Couldn't tell anyone till I was 16 anyway.
21:12Cause all kinds of trouble.
21:23Yeah?
21:25Al, don't call me when I'm arriving at work.
21:27Wait till I'm in.
21:29No, I said 8.35, not 8.30.
21:34Yeah.
21:56Spend the day with me.
22:00Yeah, I know what you're thinking.
22:02Give in now, I might get the wrong idea
22:04and come back every 30 years.
22:07It's a risk.
22:17Son, is everything all right?
22:30Hello, Al.
22:32What do you want?
22:34Look, it's not my job to have something to say.
22:37You phone me, innit?
22:39Hang on.
22:41Port Winslow tree.
22:43Yeah?
22:44No, you can't just come in whenever, can you?
22:47What? Hang on.
22:49Well, phone back when you have got some conversation then.
22:52Yeah.
22:55Oh.
22:59Mark.
23:01Oh, hi there, Doc. All right?
23:03Yeah. I just want to run something by you.
23:05Yeah, what's that?
23:07There's a girl, a young girl.
23:09Seems she's become sotted with me.
23:11Oh, right.
23:13Yeah, it's a problem.
23:15Yeah, well, if it's a problem, I wouldn't mind having it.
23:17Well, you would with this one.
23:19I mean, I can't... I mean, why do you mention it?
23:22You know, I haven't been exactly lucky in my life.
23:25I've been in a lot of trouble.
23:27You know, I haven't been exactly lucky in that department.
23:30Well, Mark, it's not a competition.
23:32You know, why do you run up and tell me that?
23:34I mean, I invite you for a drink, you don't really come.
23:36I got that single malt you like, still nearly full.
23:38Then there's this girl on the scene, here you are.
23:40I'm not really interested, to be honest.
23:42Mark, she's 15.
23:43I can't condone that.
23:44She's a patient.
23:45That's worse.
23:46Yes, that's what I'm saying. It's worse.
23:48And I want to be completely clear.
23:50I have no interest, romantic or otherwise,
23:53in a 15-year-old girl.
23:56I relocated her shoulder and now I'm her hero.
23:59Oh, right. So it's Melanie Gibson, is it?
24:01Yeah.
24:02You've told her you're not interested, I suppose?
24:04Well, unfortunately, I told her that.
24:06I thought she was a nice person.
24:08That was unwise, in the circumstances,
24:10if you don't mind me saying so.
24:11Well, it was before I knew that she was...
24:13You know, she'd made me a cake and I just wanted to be polite.
24:17You do know in port, when, if you accept a girl's cake,
24:20that means you're engaged.
24:23It's not very funny, Mark.
24:27Don't disappoint her now.
24:29You know her dad's a martial arts nut.
24:31Taekwondo.
24:32Teach it at the leisure centre.
24:34Thank you, Mark.
24:35Ah, the way of the foot and the fist.
24:38Taekwondo.
24:41It hasn't changed.
24:43You should have told me.
24:44I would have brought the cheese and pickle sandwiches.
24:48Oh, I think we've...
24:50We've probably moved on a bit since then.
24:54Hey, look at this.
24:56Somebody's, er...
24:58Somebody seems to have left a hamper here.
25:02Have a look.
25:03There's some champagne, strawberries,
25:06some cheese and pickle sandwiches.
25:19Elaine, why haven't you opened the post?
25:22Excuse me, I've been busy.
25:25Surgery.
25:27Elaine, we should get a direct line for Greg.
25:30It's not Greg, actually.
25:32Oh, well, then obviously my point doesn't stand.
25:34No.
25:36Yeah?
25:40Yeah, got it.
25:42Yeah, got it.
25:47Milk and two sugars.
25:50Yeah.
25:54Yeah.
25:55Yeah, all right.
25:56So I'll ring you at five, yeah?
25:58All right, bye.
25:59Bye.
26:01Bye.
26:02Look, son.
26:04I know it's your phone, Bill,
26:06and I know you've got your own money coming in now.
26:08That's fine, that's good.
26:10But it's not the point.
26:12You do know that these mobile phones
26:14can damage your head membranes,
26:16you know, if used to excess.
26:18Dad, I've got Bluetooth.
26:19I'm not surprised.
26:20I mean, that's exactly my point,
26:22if you don't mind my saying so.
26:23Not to mention we're late for Mrs Braithwaite's soil pipe.
26:26Look, son.
26:27Just tell me this, right?
26:29Man to man.
26:31You're not calling one of those
26:32internet sex change rooms, are you?
26:42For a wonderful day.
26:47You don't have to go home, you know.
26:50You can come back to the boat
26:52and spend the night there.
26:59After Port Wren,
27:00where are we going to go?
27:02I mean, when you thought
27:03you were just dropping in on Phil and me.
27:05Well, I have your whole map down.
27:07Down the coast, across to Ireland, Cork.
27:10Back again and up to the Western Dials.
27:14And see someone to crew for you?
27:18I'll have to make a few arrangements,
27:19but what do you think?
27:24You sure?
27:25Yes.
27:27Absolutely.
27:29Thank you, Doctor.
27:37Come in, sit down.
27:38I'll be right with you.
27:42You know what seems to be the problem?
27:45Melanie.
27:46Melanie.
27:47Melanie.
27:48Melanie.
27:50Melanie.
27:51Melanie.
27:52Melanie.
27:53Melanie.
27:54Melanie.
27:55Melanie.
27:56Melanie.
27:57Melanie.
27:59Shouldn't you be at school?
28:01Not well, am I?
28:02What's the matter?
28:04I can't concentrate on my lessons.
28:07Now, I want to be very clear.
28:09You're not to come here again.
28:11Do you understand?
28:13Not now, Elaine.
28:14What if I'm ill?
28:15The hospital want to talk to you
28:16about some blood test results.
28:17Put them on hold.
28:19If you need medical help,
28:20then you have to come with an adult.
28:24I'm ugly, aren't I?
28:25No, you're not ugly.
28:26You're a patient,
28:27and you're 15 years old.
28:28Miss Glasson is a patient.
28:29Don't stop me fancying her.
28:30I do it.
28:31Dr. Ellingham,
28:32it's the PATH lab at the hospital here.
28:34Is everything all right?
28:36Yep.
28:37Yep.
28:38Just hold on a moment, please.
28:39Melanie.
28:40Go away, please.
28:41Now.
28:52Yep.
28:54John Slater.
28:55Yes.
28:57Yes.
28:59What about the ESO?
29:03Right.
29:19Have you seen your face?
29:21You're in one of the most beautiful places in the world,
29:23and you look as though
29:24somebody's stuffed a cactus up your jacksie.
29:26I've had some results back from the blood I took.
29:29It's bad news?
29:30Yes.
29:32Doctors all over the world have given me bad news.
29:34I'm still tap dancing.
29:36Rheumatic heart disease.
29:38I told you that.
29:39What was my ESO score?
29:42High.
29:44But there's worse, I'm afraid.
29:47They've grown a streptococcus on the blood sample,
29:51which means you have infective endocarditis.
30:00How long?
30:02Impossible to say without further tests.
30:04If you had a guess.
30:08Well, with some work on your leaky valves
30:10and depending on the lining of your heart...
30:12Just tell me.
30:14A year?
30:16Six months?
30:21No.
30:35Go away, Marty.
30:37I need to talk to Joan.
30:40Well, that's the other thing, actually.
30:43Given your state of health,
30:44do you think it's entirely appropriate
30:46for you to carry on like a teenager with my arm?
30:48It really frightens you.
30:50But I might steal some of Joan's love from you.
30:53People ask me what I'm doing back here.
30:55Why did you come back?
30:57You came back to Cornwall
30:58to have some kind of midlife crisis with your auntie.
31:02What's all that about?
31:04And I bet you're still wet yourself.
31:18Auntie Joan.
31:19You've got five minutes.
31:20Yes.
31:30Marty.
31:34I think I still love him.
31:38Right.
31:40I think I always have.
31:42Told him I didn't.
31:43Sent him away.
31:45Now it's possible.
31:46I mean, before there was...
31:48There was Phil.
31:49There was you.
31:51But now...
31:53Now there's no earthly reason why,
31:55except that I'm a certified ancient monument.
31:59Is it mad for a woman of my age?
32:02Yes, it is, isn't it?
32:03Well, I don't think it's a good idea.
32:05No, of course you don't.
32:06You don't think anything's a good idea.
32:08No, I really don't think it's a good idea.
32:10Why not?
32:12He's, um...
32:13He's not going to, um...
32:15Marty,
32:16I don't need your blessing,
32:18but I would like it.
32:22Why did you say there was Phil and there was me?
32:30Do you remember when you asked me
32:32why your visits stopped?
32:34Dad.
32:37Yes, somehow or other,
32:38he found out about me and John.
32:40And he said he wouldn't have you staying with a woman
32:43guilty of gross moral turpitude.
32:47It was a very effective threat.
32:49He knew that I loved you like a son.
32:53So you sent John away for me?
32:56Oh, don't get carried away.
32:58For you,
33:00and for Phil as well.
33:06Well,
33:08well,
33:09say something, Marty.
33:11Oh, come on.
33:14Be happy for me.
33:37♪
34:08Kate!
34:17I thought it would be like when we owned Juliet.
34:20Well, yes.
34:23I...
34:24No, not through the window, Melanie.
34:26The front door is fine.
34:30I'm sorry.
34:31I'm sorry.
34:32I'm sorry.
34:33I'm sorry.
34:34I'm sorry.
34:35I'm sorry.
34:36I'm sorry.
34:37I'm sorry.
34:38I'm sorry.
34:39I'm sorry.
34:40I'm sorry.
34:41I'm sorry.
34:42I'm sorry.
34:43I'm sorry.
34:44I'm sorry.
34:45I'm sorry.
34:46I'm sorry.
34:47I'm sorry.
34:48I'm sorry.
34:49I'm sorry.
34:50I'm sorry.
34:51I'm sorry.
34:52I'm sorry.
34:53I'm sorry.
34:54I'm sorry.
34:55I'm sorry.
34:56I'm sorry.
34:57I'm sorry.
34:58I'm sorry.
34:59I'm sorry.
35:00I'm sorry.
35:01I'm sorry.
35:02I'm sorry.
35:03I'm sorry.
35:04I'm sorry.
35:05I crisped up the bacon the way you like it.
35:07Now it's all cold.
35:08We have to have it in the van.
35:10Well, I don't think I'm going to come in today.
35:12What?
35:13Well, I've got a few things to do here first.
35:17Okay.
35:19Okay, that's fine.
35:21I can manage on my own.
35:22Okay.
35:24Okay.
35:25Okay then.
35:35Okay.
35:56Auntie Joan, it's me.
35:58I've been calling you.
35:59It's Martin.
36:02I hate these bloody machines.
36:04I need to talk to you confidentially about John Slater.
36:08I wonder if you'd call me back.
36:17Um...
36:18Elaine, could you cancel my appointments this morning?
36:21I need to go and see Melanie Gibson's parents.
36:23Can you get me their address too, please?
36:25No, her dad's here.
36:26He wants to see you.
36:28Elaine.
36:31Does he know I'm here?
36:33Yeah, cos you were here.
36:36Are you Ellingham?
36:38Yeah, yes. Yes, I am.
36:40Please come in.
36:42Take a seat.
36:43No, thanks.
36:45My daughter baked you a cake.
36:47Uh, yes, she did.
36:48Thank you for coming to see me.
36:49You tell her she was a nice person.
36:51Yes, I did.
36:52I know she's been back here.
36:54I know she's been in your bedroom.
36:56If you could give me a moment...
36:57You know what young girls are like.
36:59I've seen her grow away from me in recent months.
37:02Classic early pubescent phase.
37:06And I've been expecting a bit of transference
37:09onto another authority figure.
37:11And here we are.
37:13You just happen to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.
37:18I'm sorry.
37:20You fix her shoulder and tell her what a nice person she is,
37:23next minute she thinks you're a God's gift.
37:26Silly girl.
37:27Yeah.
37:28I hope you haven't been overly inconvenienced.
37:32Oh, no, no. No, not at all. No.
37:34I've spoken to her and I'll keep an eye on her
37:37over the next couple of weeks.
37:38Thank you. Thank you very much.
37:40Nice to meet you.
37:41And nice to meet you too.
37:44Just one thing.
37:47Any chance of that cake tin back?
37:57No.
38:03John!
38:04What's the big emergency?
38:07Found another girl to crew for you.
38:10We, er...
38:12We need to talk.
38:15What's the matter?
38:18I told you that I was...
38:20I was no longer married.
38:22That's not true.
38:24I thought you said it didn't last.
38:26With Amy.
38:28I met someone else.
38:32Oh.
38:33She phoned me this morning.
38:35She's coming in for a surprise visit.
38:39Flying into Newquay.
38:40I'm taking the boat round there to pick her up.
38:43What's her name?
38:44Doesn't matter what her name.
38:47Laura.
38:51So, er...
38:53So what's all this been about, John?
38:57A bit of fun.
38:58I didn't think you'd take it so seriously.
39:08What happened to you, John?
39:10Used to be such a decent man.
39:13Nah, not me.
39:15You must be thinking of somebody else.
39:17Clearly.
39:18I don't know who I feel sorry for most, you or your wife.
39:23I have spent the last 30 years thinking that I had broken your heart.
39:29Well, your heart, if you have one,
39:31is obviously rotten to the core.
39:52Hello?
40:04Yeah?
40:07Hi, Greg.
40:11You know, if you're so sorry, you should have called me.
40:16Yeah?
40:20Yeah?
40:22Greg?
40:26Yeah?
40:30Marty?
40:31What on earth are you doing here?
40:33Did you get my answer phone message?
40:35What? What answer phone message?
40:37What's the matter?
40:38I have been a stupid, stupid fool.
40:49So, there you have it.
40:52He's sailing at first light.
40:55You knew there was something wrong, didn't you?
40:57And I wouldn't listen.
40:59I thought you were behaving like a baby,
41:02with your nose put out of joint.
41:05I thought you'd say anything to put me off him.
41:08I'm sorry.
41:10I underestimated you.
41:23Hey, you!
41:24What the hell do you think you're playing at?
41:26If I'd known you were married when you were messing around with my...
41:29What would you do? Punch my lights out?
41:31Eh? Sink my boat?
41:33You'd have been a really big man, wouldn't you?
41:36Shut up!
41:37You've no idea, have you?
41:39Do you know what she did for me 30 years ago?
41:42She let me go.
41:44I'm just returning the favour.
41:46What the hell are you talking about?
41:48She's already nursed one dying man.
41:50I'm not going to let her do that again.
41:54So I lied to her.
41:56Do you mean you're not married?
41:58That's right, yeah. I had to stop her in the tracks.
42:01I'm not married. No wife.
42:03There's never been anyone except Joan.
42:06Well, I think you should tell her the truth.
42:08You should see the state she's in.
42:10She'll be upset for a few days, a couple of weeks perhaps,
42:13but better than six months watching me fall apart.
42:50I'm sorry.

43:23BIRDS CHIRP
43:49What are you doing here?
43:51Couldn't sleep.
43:57All those times you brought me up here,
43:59was it always to watch him sail?
44:02I'm sorry.
44:03Affairs taint everything, don't they?
44:07But there were good times too, weren't there?
44:09Yeah, yeah.
44:15Well, you hated his guts, so you were pleased to see him go.
44:21What you said before about me behaving like...
44:25about me feeling displaced,
44:28well, perhaps there was some truth in that.
44:33I'd have said anything to put you off him.
44:38You didn't underestimate me.
44:44But I underestimated John.
44:51BIRDS CHIRP
44:58Martin, if you know something, you've got to tell me.
45:06OK.
