WOMAN: OH, GOOD MORNING!

HELLO.

ARE YOU THE ESTATE AGENT?

MARTIN: NO.

WOMAN: YOU LOOK LIKE AN ESTATE AGENT.

MARTIN: I’M A DOCTOR.

WOMAN: OH.

IS THAT SEASIDE COTTAGE?

MARTIN: NO, THAT ONE IS.

WOMAN: OH, RIGHT.

OH.

IN WHICH CASE I THINK WE’LL BE NEIGHBORS THEN.

I’M ERICA HOLBROOKE.

HI.

THIS IS MY DAUGHTER BERNADETTE.

GO AND SAY "HI," BERNIE.

OH, SHE’S EXHAUSTED, YOU KNOW, BECAUSE WE JUST LEFT BRISTOL AT THE CRACK OF DAWN.

MARTIN: YES.

GOOD-BYE.

AL: HEY.

SO YOU’RE REALLY DOING IT, THEN?

BERT: YEAH, I’M A HANDYMAN WITH A VAN.

ALL SORTS, REALLY.

ELECTRICAL WORK.

PLUMBING.

FURNITURE REMOVAL.

AL: THAT’S GREAT NEWS.

BERT: YOU JUST WANT TO GET RID OF ME.

AL: OH.

ALL RIGHT.

TIMONEY: RIGHT.

SO NOW, TELL ME, HOW DID THE EXERCISE GO LAST WEEK?

[MARTIN AND LOUISA TALKING AT ONCE] MARTIN: YOU GO FIRST.

LOUISA: NO, YOU.

IT WAS FINE.

TIMONEY: FINE?

LOUISA: MM-HMM.

IT WAS A BIT OF A DISASTER.

ARE THINGS THIS DIFFICULT FOR EVERYONE?

IS ALL THIS STRUGGLING A NORMAL PART OF THE PROCESS?

TIMONEY: WELL, NORMAL IS A VERY LOADED WORD.

NOT EVERY COUPLE WHO GOES THROUGH THERAPY STAYS TOGETHER.

BUT THAT SHOULDN’T BE SEEN AS A FAILURE.

ACCEPTING SEPARATION IS A SUCCESS IN ITSELF.

LOUISA: I’M NOT SURE I ENTIRELY AGREE WITH THAT.

TIMONEY: THAT’S BECAUSE YOU NEED TO CHALLENGE YOUR PRECONCEPTIONS OF BEING APART.

I WANT YOU TO THINK ABOUT SOME OF THE POSSIBLE ADVANTAGES THAT BEING SINGLE MIGHT HAVE AND MAKE A LIST.

MARTIN: THE WHOLE POINT OF COMING HERE IS THAT WE DON’T WANT TO SEPARATE.

TIMONEY: I UNDERSTAND THAT.

BUT WHAT WE WANT AND WHAT WE NEED AREN’T ALWAYS THE SAME THING.

IF YOU CAN’T LIVE TOGETHER, YOU HAVE TO CONSIDER THE BENEFITS OF LIVING APART.

FOR OUR NEXT SESSION, MAKE A LIST OF WHAT THOSE BENEFITS MIGHT BE.

LOUISA: I WASN’T EXPECTING HER TO SAY THAT.

I KNOW SHE SAID IT WASN’T A FAILURE, BUT IT CERTAINLY FEELS LIKE ONE.

I MEAN, WAS SHE SAYING THAT WE SHOULD GET A DIVORCE?

MARTIN: NO, SHE’S SAYING MAKE A LIST.

WE STARTED THIS PROCESS.

WE SHOULD SEE IT THROUGH.

LOUISA: GOSH.

I’M GONNA BE LATE FOR SCHOOL.

CAN YOU DROP ME OFF?

PENHALE: CAN I HELP YOU, SIR?

OFFICER: INSPECTOR SALTER, NEIGHBORHOOD BEAT MANAGEMENT COMMANDER.

YOU MUST BE 3021 PC PENHALE.

CAN WE HAVE A LITTLE CHAT?

WHAT’S YOUR SECRET, PC PENHALE?

PENHALE: I’M NOT QUITE SURE WHAT YOU MEAN, SIR.

SALTER: THE LEVEL OF REPORTED CRIME IN THIS AREA IS ZERO.

IT’S BEEN ZERO FOR THE PAST 6 MONTHS.

STRAIGHT LINE.

NO FLUCTUATION.

PENHALE: SORRY.

SALTER: DON’T BE.

IT’S A GOOD THING.

IT’S A WONDERFUL THING.

I’VE BEEN STARING AT THE FIGURES WONDERING HOW ON EARTH YOU DO IT.

THE PEOPLE UPSTAIRS ARE BEGINNING TO ASK QUESTIONS.

PENHALE: REALLY?

WHAT SORT OF QUESTIONS?

SALTER: WHO IS THIS 3021?

WHY DON’T WE HAVE OUR OWN 3021?

WHEN WILL 3021 COME AND WORK FOR US?

PENHALE: SHUT UP!

I MEAN, ERM, THAT’S REALLY NICE TO HEAR, SIR.

SO WHEN YOU SAY "THE PEOPLE UPSTAIRS," WHO EXACTLY ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

SALTER: THE GUYS ON THE FIFTH FLOOR.

PENHALE: RIGHT.

RIGHT.

AND WHO EXACTLY ARE THEY?

SALTER: COORDINATORS OF THE HIGH VISIBILITY PATROL INITIATIVE IN EXETER CITY CENTER.

WE COULD CERTAINLY USE A MAN LIKE YOU IN EXETER.

PENHALE: YOU MEAN SOMEONE OF SIMILAR HEIGHT AND STATURE AS ME, OR?

SALTER: I MEAN YOU, PC PENHALE.

A TRANSFER.

THINK ABOUT WHAT YOU COULD DO IN THE CITY.

I KNOW THERE’S NOT MUCH TIME.

NEED A DECISION BY THE END OF THE WEEK.

YOU BEGIN INDUCTION MONDAY.

[PENHALE EXHALES] ERICA: JUST GET YOUR HEAD DOWN AND WORK TODAY.

IT’S NICE, ISN’T IT?

OH, I LIKE THIS.

LOUISA: OH, ERICA.

I JUST WANTED TO SAY I’M SO GLAD YOU’VE JOINED US.

YOU KNOW, WE WERE LET DOWN BY OUR LAST ART TEACHER AND WE’VE BEEN MAKING DO WITH SUPPLY TEACHERS FOR THE PAST FEW MONTHS.

IT’S BEEN A NIGHTMARE.

ERICA: WELL, IT’S JUST GREAT TO FINALLY BE HERE.

I HAVE MISSED TEACHING ART.

AND WE’RE BOTH LOOKING FORWARD TO A FRESH START.

COULDN’T WAIT TO ACTUALLY GET OUT OF BRISTOL.

LOUISA: DIDN’T YOU LIKE THE SCHOOL THERE?

BERNIE: IT WAS ALL RIGHT.

ERICA: I HAD HER MOVED UP A YEAR.

LOUISA: OH.

ERICA: YEAH, BECAUSE SHE WAS BULLIED.

I MEAN, YOU KNOW HOW CHILDREN ARE.

SEE, BERNIE’S VERY BRIGHT FOR HER AGE.

AS SOON AS SHE FOUND OUT WE WERE MOVING TO CORNWALL, SHE WAS READING DAPHNE DU MAURIER, WEREN’T YOU?

"JAMAICA INN" AND "FRENCHMAN’S CREEK," AND-- I DON’T SUPPOSE YOU HAVE DU MAURIER IN YEAR 3?

LOUISA: NO, NO, IT’S FAR TOO-- ERICA: YEAH.

ADVANCED?

LOUISA: NO, IT’S JUST NOT SUITABLE.

ERICA: OH, REALLY?

NO, I--I DON’T THINK SO.

I MEAN, THE ONE GOOD THING ABOUT BEING AWAY FROM WORK SO LONG WAS READING WITH BERNIE.

SHE’S--SHE’S WORKING HER WAY THROUGH "REBECCA" NOW.

LOUISA: GOSH.

ERICA: YES.

I THINK CHILDREN SHOULD BE CHALLENGED.

DON’T YOU?

LOUISA: ABSOLUTELY, YEAH, BUT-- ERICA: AND IT’S THE SAME WITH ART.

YOU KNOW, IT JUST CONFRONTS WHO WE ARE, AS PEOPLE.

LOUISA: MM-HMM.

AND THAT’S GREAT.

BUT IT’S WORTH BEARING IN MIND THAT OUR PUPILS ENJOY PAINTING RAINBOWS AND SEASCAPES, YOU KNOW, THAT KIND OF THING.

ERICA: YEAH.

MORWENNA: MORNING, DOC.

MARTIN: YES.

MORWENNA: YOU OK?

MARTIN: YES.

MORWENNA: THE FIRST PATIENT IS HERE ALREADY.

MARTIN: AM I SEEING YOU BOTH?

WOMAN: NO, DOC.

JUST MY HUSBAND JIM.

MARTIN: RIGHT.

YOU WAIT HERE THEN.

WOMAN: WE DO EVERYTHING TOGETHER, DOC.

BEEN THAT WAY FOR 40 YEARS.

MARTIN: ALL RIGHT.

COME THROUGH.

TAKE A SEAT.

WHAT SEEMS TO BE THE PROBLEM?

JIM: MY NECK.

I’VE GOT THIS LUMP.

IT ONLY COME UP THE OTHER DAY.

MARTIN: LOOSEN YOUR COLLAR.

JIM: I TOLD ANNIE IT WAS PROBABLY NOTHING, BUT SHE WORRIES, YOU KNOW.

ANNIE: I DO WORRY.

AND THAT’S NOT A BAD THING.

MARTIN: STOP TALKING.

JIM: HER OR ME?

MARTIN: BOTH OF YOU.

HAS IT INCREASED IN SIZE?

JIM: NO.

LIKE I SAY, I ONLY SAW IT A COUPLE OF DAYS AGO.

ANNIE: TUESDAY.

JIM: YEAH, TUESDAY.

MARTIN: I WANT YOU TO GO TO HOSPITAL AS SOON AS POSSIBLE FOR AN ULTRASOUND SCAN.

ANNIE: WHY?

WHAT’S WRONG WITH HIM?

MARTIN: I DON’T KNOW YET.

JIM: I CAN’T DO HOSPITALS.

MARTIN: IT’S JUST A SCAN, IT’S NOT INVASIVE.

IT’S TO DETERMINE THE NATURE OF YOUR, ERM, MASS.

ANNIE: YOU LISTEN TO WHAT THE DOC SAYS, OK?

HE’LL DO ALL RIGHT BY US.

BERT: HERE YOU GO, MY LOVELY.

YOU GOT A DRIPPING TAP, I’M YOUR MAN.

NO JOB TOO SMALL.

PENHALE: ALL RIGHT, BERT?

CAN I HAVE A QUICK WORD?

BERT: NO.

PENHALE: WE COULD PUT THAT BUSINESS WITH THE STILL BEHIND US.

BERT: LOOK, I WASN’T DOING ANYBODY ANY HARM.

NOW I’M STUCK STICKING MY HEAD DOWN TOILETS AND CHANGING THE ODD BLOWN FUSE.

PENHALE: I COULDN’T TURN A BLIND EYE TO ILLEGAL ACTIVITY, BERT.

BERT: I COULD’VE MADE A SMALL FORTUNE.

PENHALE: I NEED SOME ADVICE, BERT.

BERT: NEVER TRUST A POLICEMAN.

HOW ABOUT THAT FOR ADVICE?

PENHALE: I’VE BEEN OFFERED A TRANSFER.

EXETER.

BERT: TAKE IT.

IT WOULDN’T BREAK MY HEART TO SEE YOU GONE.

PENHALE: GREAT.

THANKS.

GOOD TALK.

[SIGH] ERICA: WHAT IS ART?

COME ON, COME ON, COME ON.

ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT, SOME OF YOU MIGHT THINK THAT ART IS DRAWING PICTURES OF SHEEP IN FIELDS AND BORING SUNSETS.

NO.

IT’S MUCH MORE THAN THAT.

ART IS THE EXPRESSION OF THE TRUE SELF THROUGH IMAGINATION.

YEAH?

AND I WANT TO LEARN MORE ABOUT YOUR TRUE SELVES.

RIGHT.

LET ME GIVE YOU AN EXAMPLE.

YOU.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE TOY?

GIRL: PATTY THE PIG.

SHE’S PINK.

ERICA: GREAT.

SO WHAT WE’RE GONNA DO IS WE’RE GONNA HAVE YOU ALL BRING IN YOUR FAVORITE TOYS.

YOUR PATTY THE PIG.

WHO’S THIS?

GIRL: BELINDA DOLLY.

ERICA: BELINDA.

AND WE’RE GOING TO TAKE THEM... [ALL GASP] CHILD: BELINDA!

ERICA: AND WE’RE GOING TO PUT THEM ON THE BOARD, LIKE THIS.

YES?

GIRL: WHY?

ERICA: SO THAT ANYONE CAN COME BY IN THE NEXT 3 WEEKS, SEE OUR LITTLE ART INSTALLATION, SEE ALL YOUR FAVORITE TOYS, YEAH?

AND LEARN SOMETHING ABOUT YOU.

BERNIE: MUM.

ERICA: IT’S MISS HOLBROOKE WHEN WE’RE AT SCHOOL, BERNIE, ALL RIGHT?

NOT MUM.

BERNIE: UM, OK. MISS HOLBROOKE.

I’VE ONLY GOT ONE DOLL AND I DON’T WANT YOU TO DO THAT TO HER.

[ERICA SIGHS] YOU’LL GET IT BACK WHEN WE’RE DONE.

DON’T WORRY.

MORWENNA: ALL RIGHT, BERT?

BERT: JUST GOT SOME FLYERS TO DROP OFF.

MARTIN: NO.

IT’S NOT A COMMUNITY NOTICE BOARD.

FIND SOMEWHERE ELSE TO PUT YOUR NONSENSE.

BERT: I’M JUST TRYING TO DRUM UP TRADE, DOC.

MARTIN: OUT.

ALICE COOPER.

GO THROUGH.

MORWENNA: BERT.

[ICE-CREAM VAN MUSIC PLAYING] GIRL: MUM, GOT ANY MONEY?

[KNOCKING ON WINDOW] PENHALE: TONY, YOU KNOW THE RULES.

NO PARKING WITHIN 100 METERS OF THE SCHOOL.

TONY: OH, COME ON, JOE.

PENHALE: YOU’RE AN ACCIDENT BLACK-SPOT WAITING TO HAPPEN.

I CAN’T HAVE YOU BLIGHTING MY STATISTICS.

JANICE: CAN I JUST GET MY CONE FIRST?

PENHALE: OH!

I DIDN’T SEE YOU THERE, JANICE.

SERVE THIS CUSTOMER.

BUT ONLY THIS CUSTOMER.

THEN YOU NEED TO MOVE THE VAN.

RIGHT, COME ON.

MOVE ON.

COME ON.

IT’S BAD FOR YOU ANYWAY.

JANICE: THANKS, JOE.

I DON’T KNOW WHAT WE’D DO WITHOUT YOU.

PENHALE: MAY HAVE TO CROSS THAT BRIDGE SOON ENOUGH.

I’VE BEEN SUMMONED TO THE CITY.

BIG PROMOTION.

JANICE: OH, WOW.

LONDON.

I’VE ALWAYS WANTED TO GO THERE.

PENHALE: WELL, EXETER.

STILL BIG, THOUGH.

118,000 PEOPLE.

EVERY ONE OF THEM A POTENTIAL CRIMINAL.

SUPPOSE I DON’T HAVE ANY TIES TO KEEP ME HERE.

JANICE: NO, I GUESS NOT.

PENHALE: NOTHING EVER HAPPENS HERE ANYWAY.

WOMAN: FLORENCE!

[FLORENCE SCREAMS] PENHALE: I’VE GOT THE BABY!

I’VE GOT THE BABY!

WOMAN: NO, I’VE GOT THE BABY.

PENHALE: OH.

LOUISA: JANICE?

JANICE, IS JAMES ALL RIGHT?

JANICE: HE’S FINE.

LOUISA: OH, DARLING, ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?

OH, MY GOODNESS.

DR. TIMONEY!

ARE YOU...ARE YOU OK?

ARE YOU HURT?

TIMONEY: MY--MY HEAD.

I MUST HAVE HIT IT.

LOUISA: WELL, I’M GOING TO TAKE YOU TO SEE MARTIN.

ALL RIGHT?

PENHALE: WHOA, WHOA.

NO ONE’S GOING ANYWHERE UNTIL I’VE PERFORMED A ROADSIDE BREATH TEST.

LOUISA: DR. TIMONEY HAS NOT BEEN DRINKING.

I CAN SMELL HER BREATH.

RATHER, I CAN’T SMELL HER BREATH.

CAN YOU GET OUT OF THE CAR BY YOURSELF OR DO YOU NEED ME TO HELP YOU?

TIMONEY: NO, I I THINK I CAN MANAGE.

LOUISA: I’LL GET YOUR BAG.

JANICE: JOE.

THAT WAS INCREDIBLE.

PENHALE: IT’S JUST A PRAM.

THE ACTUAL BABY WAS THERE.

JANICE: YEAH, BUT YOU DIDN’T KNOW THAT.

YOU WERE A PROPER HERO.

YOU WERE.

[LOUISA SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY] STEADY.

[DOOR OPENS] MORWENNA: DOC, LOUISA’S HERE.

SHE’S GOT A RANDOM WITH HER.

LOUISA: IT’S DR. TIMONEY.

SHE’S HAD A CAR ACCIDENT.

SHE’S HIT HER HEAD.

MORWENNA: DR. TIMONEY?

MARTIN: SHUT UP.

GET OUT.

CLOSE THE DOOR.

TIMONEY: I’M REALLY NOT SURE YOU SHOULD BE HELPING ME.

MARTIN: COME AND TAKE A SEAT.

LOUISA: DON’T WORRY.

IT’S NO TROUBLE.

TIMONEY: I MEAN WITH OUR PROFESSIONAL RELATIONSHIP.

MARTIN: YES, I KNOW WHAT YOU’RE WORRIED ABOUT BUT REALLY, IF YOU’VE JUST HAD A CAR CRASH, YOU MUST AT LEAST LET ME EXAMINE YOU.

THANK YOU, LOUISA.

LOUISA: HERE’S YOUR BAG.

I’D BETTER GO.

GOT TO GET BACK TO SCHOOL.

TIMONEY: THANK YOU, LOUISA.

MARTIN: MM.

DID YOU LOSE CONSCIOUSNESS?

TIMONEY: I DON’T THINK SO.

MARTIN: I TAKE IT YOU’RE FAMILIAR WITH THE SYMPTOMS OF CONCUSSION?

TIMONEY: OF COURSE.

MARTIN: LOOK STRAIGHT AHEAD.

AND IF YOU EXPERIENCE ANY?

TIMONEY: I’LL GO TO A&E IF I START FEELING DIZZY, THROWING UP, ET CETERA, ET CETERA, YES.

MARTIN: YOUR RETINAS ARE NORMAL, PUPILS THE SAME SIZE, NO SIGN OF PAPILLEDEMA.

JUST KEEP AN EYE ON YOURSELF.

TIMONEY: WELL, IF SYMPTOMS START TO DEVELOP, I’LL BE SURE TO CONTACT MY GP.

MARTIN: YES.

TIMONEY: WHAT?

WAS THERE SOMETHING ELSE?

MARTIN: YES.

I HAVE A QUESTION.

ABOUT THE LIST YOU ASKED US TO DRAW UP.

IS IT IN ANY PARTICULAR ORDER, OR PRIORITIZED?

TIMONEY: I DON’T THINK WE SHOULD REALLY DISCUSS THIS WITHOUT LOUISA PRESENT.

MARTIN: IT’S A TECHNICAL QUESTION.

TIMONEY: NO PARTICULAR ORDER.

IT’S JUST A LIST.

IT’S THE ACTION OF THINKING AND WRITING THAT IS IMPORTANT.

MARTIN: RIGHT.

PENHALE: IF THE DOC COULD TAKE A SAMPLE OF BLOOD, I COULD SEND IT TO THE LAB.

SAVES ME DOING A BREATH TEST.

MORWENNA: DON’T YOU THINK SHE’S BEEN THROUGH ENOUGH?

MARTIN: COME THROUGH.

MIND YOUR HEAD.

TIMONEY: I’M NOT SURE HOW I’M GETTING HOME.

MARTIN: WELL, I WOULDN’T ADVISE THAT YOU DRIVE.

PENHALE: SHE CAN’T DRIVE ANYWAY, DOC.

THE CAR’S DAMAGED.

MORWENNA: I COULD CALL YOU A TAXI.

TIMONEY: THANK YOU, VERY KIND.

PENHALE: WE NEED TO TALK, DOC.

MARTIN: REALLY?

PENHALE: THING IS, I’VE BEEN OFFERED A NEW JOB.

PROMOTION.

WELL, IT’S NOT PROMOTION AS SUCH.

IT’S A TRANSFER TO EXETER.

MARTIN: I’M BUSY.

PENHALE: RIGHT.

JUST I NEED YOUR OPINION.

"SHOULD I STAY OR SHOULD I GO NOW?"

TO QUOTE ONE OF MY FAVORITE-- [RINGTONE] HELLO?

SALTER: PC PENHALE?

I’M JUST GETTING READY TO HEAD BACK TO EXETER.

I WAS WONDERING IF YOU’D COME TO A DECISION YET.

PENHALE: NOT YET.

CLOSE, THOUGH.

VERY CLOSE.

SALTER: I NEED A DECISION BY THE END OF TOMORROW.

WE GOT OTHER PROSPECTIVE CANDIDATES, SO IF YOU CAN’T MAKE THE INDUCTION ON MONDAY, I’LL HAVE TO OFFER THE JOB TO ONE OF THEM.

PENHALE: I UNDERSTAND.

WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF YOU WERE ME?

SALTER: I’D TAKE THE JOB.

PENHALE: RIGHT, YES, OF COURSE.

BY THE END OF TOMORROW THEN.

I’LL BE IN TOUCH.

THANK YOU.

[EXHALES] MARTIN: HE’S ASLEEP.

OH, IS THAT YOUR LIST?

LOUISA: ERM, YEAH.

WELL, IT WILL BE.

I HAVEN’T REALLY THOUGHT OF ANYTHING YET.

MARTIN: RIGHT.

LOUISA: HAVE YOU DONE YOURS?

MARTIN: ERM, NO.

NO, I HAVEN’T YET.

LOUISA: HOW IS DR. TIMONEY, ANYWAY?

MARTIN: I’M SORRY, I CAN’T DISCUSS MY PATIENTS.

LOUISA: I’M NOT ASKING YOU TO "DISCUSS" HER.

I WAS JUST WONDERING IF IT STILL MEANS WE’RE HAVING OUR SESSION ON THURSDAY.

MARTIN: YES.

LOUISA: I SUPPOSE WE BETTER GET THESE LISTS DONE, THEN.

MARTIN: ERM, RIGHT.

I’LL BE OFF, THEN.

AHEM.

ERM, GOOD NIGHT.

LOUISA: GOOD NIGHT.

[KNOCKING ON DOOR] MARTIN: WHAT?

ERICA: I’VE HURT MY WRIST.

COULD YOU TAKE A LOOK?

[MARTIN SIGHS] ERM, YES, RIGHT.

COME IN.

ERICA: I WOULDN’T NORMALLY IMPOSE BUT IT IS ACTUALLY VERY, VERY SORE AND, WELL, WE ARE NEIGHBORS, SO...IT’S CRAMPED, ISN’T IT?

MARTIN: TAKE A SEAT.

ERICA: THANK YOU.

MARTIN: LET ME HAVE A LOOK.

ERICA: JUST CAREFULLY--YEAH, OW.

MARTIN: IT LOOKS LIKE IT’S SPRAINED.

DID YOU FALL?

ERICA: NO.

I FELT A BIT DIZZY.

AND I PUT MY HAND OUT TO STOP MYSELF FALLING.

MARTIN: DO YOU OFTEN FEEL DIZZY?

ERICA: NO.

BERNIE: YESTERDAY AFTER DINNER.

ERICA: I STOOD UP TOO QUICK FROM THE TABLE.

MARTIN: DO YOU HAVE ANY OTHER SYMPTOMS?

ERICA: NO.

[BERNIE WHISPERS] GRANNY FEVER.

ERICA: GLANDULAR FEVER.

NOT GRANNY.

I HAD IT LAST YEAR.

I WAS OFF WORK FOR AGES.

MARTIN: A BLOOD TEST WOULD TELL YOU IF IT HAD COME BACK.

IF YOU’RE GOING TO STAY HERE, YOU SHOULD MAKE AN APPOINTMENT IN THE SURGERY AND I’LL REGISTER YOU.

ERICA: YOU KNOW, I’M WALLPAPERING OUR HOUSE.

MARTIN: RIGHT.

ERICA: AND I HAVE A FEW EXTRA ROLLS.

IF YOU NEED THEM.

JUST THINK THIS PLACE COULD USE A LITTLE, ERM, SOMETHING.

MARTIN: NO, THANK YOU.

[ERICA SIGHS] I KNOW IT ISN’T EASY, BUT THAT IS WHY FOLK LIKE US HAVE TO STICK TOGETHER.

MARTIN: WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

ERICA: THE TRAGICALLY SINGLE.

MARTIN: I’M NOT SINGLE.

ERICA: OH.

I THOUGHT SOMEONE SAID THAT YOU AND YOUR WIFE HAD SPLIT.

MARTIN: NO.

ERICA: NO?

BUT YOU LIVE IN A DIFFERENT HOUSE FROM HER.

MARTIN: YES.

ERICA: WHAT DO THEY CALL THAT THEN?

MARTIN: NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS.

ERICA: WELL, THAT’S ME TOLD THEN, ISN’T IT?

COME ON, YOU.

LET’S GET YOUR HOMEWORK DONE.

BERNIE: I HAVEN’T GOT ANY.

ERICA: OH, WE’LL THINK OF SOMETHING.

MRS. TISHELL: OH, GOOD MORNING, DOCTOR.

MARTIN: YES.

I’VE COME TO SEE MR. TISHELL.

MRS. TISHELL: YES, HE’S UPSTAIRS.

THANK YOU.

FOR SAVING HIS LIFE.

MARTIN: YES.

WOMAN: TIMOLOL DROPS, PLEASE.

MRS. TISHELL: DO YOU HAVE A PRESCRIPTION?

WOMAN: I HAVE A CREDIT CARD.

MRS. TISHELL: I’M PROHIBITED FROM DISPENSING MEDICATION WITHOUT A PRESCRIPTION.

WOMAN: WHAT’S YOUR NAME?

MRS. TISHELL: SALLY TISHELL.

WOMAN: BETH TRAYWICK.

MRS. TISHELL: YES.

HELLO.

BETH: TRAYWICK IS THE AMERICANIZED VERSION OF TRAWEEK, A CORNISH SURNAME.

AS FAR AS I CAN TELL, MY PEOPLE LEFT HERE IN THE 1860S, TO SEEK A BETTER LIFE ABROAD.

MRS. TISHELL: WELL, MY FAMILY WERE PERFECTLY HAPPY TO STAY WHERE THEY WERE.

BETH: IT MAKES YOU THINK, THOUGH.

TISHELL.

TRAWEEK.

FOR ALL WE KNOW WE COULD BE DISTANT COUSINS.

RELATED.

SO HOW ABOUT YOU HELP ME OUT, CUZ?

MRS. TISHELL: NO PRESCRIPTIONS, NO MEDICINE.

BETH: FINE.

WELL, IF YOU WON’T HELP ME, MAYBE YOUR HUSBAND WILL.

I NEED SOME TIMOLOL.

MARTIN: I’M NOT HER HUSBAND.

MRS. TISHELL: WE HAVE A CONNECTION.

MARTIN: NO, WE DON’T.

DO YOU HAVE GLAUCOMA?

BETH: YES, AND ALL I NEED ARE SOME DROPS.

MARTIN: NO, YOU NEED A PRESCRIPTION.

BETH: FINE.

HOW DO I GET A PRESCRIPTION?

MRS. TISHELL: YOU HAVE TO SEE THE DOCTOR.

BETH: AND WHERE’S THE DOCTOR?

MARTIN: I’M THE DOCTOR.

BETH: AND YOU LIVE WITH THE PHARMACIST?

MARTIN: WHAT?

NO, I DON’T LIVE WITH HER.

I WAS SEEING HER HUSBAND.

BETH: WHATEVER YOU SAY.

MARTIN: MAKE SURE HE KEEPS UP WITH THE LIGHT DAILY EXERCISE AND KEEP AN EYE ON HIS MEDICATION.

BETH: CAN YOU JUST EXAMINE ME HERE SO I CAN GET SOME DROPS, PLEASE?

MARTIN: NO.

MAKE AN APPOINTMENT.

MRS. TISHELL: THANK YOU, DOCTOR.

WILL THERE BE ANYTHING ELSE, BETH?

BETH: I GUESS NOT.

MRS. TISHELL: AMERICAN.

ANNIE: A TUMOR, DOC.

THAT’S WHAT THEY SAID.

SUSPECTED CANCER OF THE THYROID.

NOW, ME AND JIM HAVE TO CONFESS, WE DON’T REALLY KNOW WHAT A THYROID IS.

MARTIN: IT’S A GLAND.

LOW, AT THE FRONT OF THE NECK.

ANNIE: WELL, THEY WANT TO CUT IT OUT, SEE.

THEN GIVE HIM RADIOTHERAPY AND SO ON.

THE ONE THAT MAKES YOUR HAIR FALL OUT.

MARTIN: IF THAT’S THE TREATMENT THAT YOUR ONCOLOGIST HAS RECOMMENDED, THEN I STRONGLY SUGGEST YOUR HUSBAND TAKES IT.

ANNIE: I DON’T THINK HE WILL.

HIS BROTHER DIED A FEW YEARS BACK.

MALIGNANT.

THAT WAS THE WORD.

IT BROKE JIM TO SEE HIM.

SKIN AND BONE HE WAS BY THE END.

MARTIN: WELL, THE SOONER HE STARTS THE TREATMENT, THEN THE BETTER HIS CHANCE OF SURVIVAL.

ANNIE: YOU’LL HAVE TO FIND ANOTHER WAY.

MARTIN: IF THE DOCTORS AT THE HOSPITAL HAVE EXPLAINED WHAT’S WRONG AND PRESCRIBED A COURSE OF TREATMENT, THEN THERE REALLY ISN’T MUCH ELSE THAT I CAN DO.

ANNIE: I DON’T BELIEVE THAT, DOC.

YOU’RE SMARTER THAN ANYONE ROUND HERE.

MARTIN: WELL, IF YOU WANT TO MAKE YOUR HUSBAND AN APPOINTMENT AND I’LL EXPLAIN WHY THIS TREATMENT IS NECESSARY, THEN DO SO, BUT APART FROM THAT-- ANNIE: THERE’S NOTHING ELSE YOU CAN DO?

YOU WON’T EXAMINE HIM AGAIN?

YOU’RE GIVING UP ON HIM.

MARTIN: NO, I AM NOT.

HE’S BEEN EXAMINED, HE’S BEEN TO THE HOSPITAL, HE’S HAD AN ULTRASOUND SCAN, AND NOW YOU KNOW WHAT THE NEXT STEPS ARE.

JUST AVOIDING THE ISSUE WON’T MAKE IT BETTER.

IT NEVER HAS.

I’M SORRY.

[CHILDREN GASP] CHILD: MONKEY!

ERICA: OK. WHO’S NEXT?

COME ON.

NEIL?

COME ON.

COME ON.

NEIL: IT’S MY SPECIAL SEAL.

ERICA: OH, IT’S JUST WONDERFUL.

[GIGGLES] NO, DON’T CRY.

NO, COME ON, THIS IS A REPRESENTATION OF YOURSELF.

OH, DEAR.

SARAH, COME ON, YOU COME UP.

COME ON.

BERNIE?

COME ON, THERE’S NO NEED TO BE SHY.

BERNIE: NOBODY WANTS TO DO THIS STUPID PROJECT.

ERICA: WELL, DO YOU KNOW, MAYBE IF YOU JUST GIVE IT A GO.

BERNIE: NO.

NO.

GIRLS: NO!

ALL: NO, NO, NO, NO!

ERICA: ALL RIGHT.

NO, OK. OK, OK. [CHANTING CONTINUES] [ALL TALKING AT ONCE] LOUISA: WHAT’S GOING ON?

BOY: MISS HOLBROOKE’S DEAD.

LOUISA: I’M SURE SHE’S NOT.

EVERYONE JUST SIT DOWN.

SARAH, GO AND GET MISS HOLBROOKE SOME WATER.

ERICA?

ERICA, WHAT’S HAPPENED?

[ERICA GIGGLES] I DON’T KNOW.

LOUISA: OH, THANK YOU, SARAH.

YOU SHOULD GO AND SEE A DOCTOR.

ERICA: MM.

THERE’S NO NEED.

LOUISA: NO, YOU REALLY SHOULD.

ESPECIALLY WITH YOUR MEDICAL HISTORY.

ERICA: DO YOU KNOW WHAT IT IS?

HA HA HA.

I DIDN’T HAVE BREAKFAST, SO-- LOUISA: ARE YOU SURE?

ERICA: YEAH, IT’S NOTHING.

LOUISA: WHAT’S THIS?

ERICA: ERM, WE’RE DOING AN ART INSTALLATION.

SHOWING HOW THEIR TOYS REFLECT THEM.

LIKE GENDER ROLES AND ASPIRATIONS.

LOUISA: OK, TOMORROW, WHY DON’T YOU DO SOME NORMAL ART?

SUNSETS, FIELDS, YOU KNOW, THAT SORT OF THING?

I THINK YOU SHOULD TAKE THE REST OF THE DAY OFF.

GO SEE THE DOCTOR JUST TO BE ON THE SAFE SIDE.

REALLY.

BETH: HERE I AM.

MARTIN: DID YOU MAKE AN APPOINTMENT?

MORWENNA: YOU HAVE A SPACE.

MARTIN: I WASN’T TALKING TO YOU.

MORWENNA: NO, BUT THERE’S A CANCELLATION.

MARTIN: NOT MR. BELLANT?

MORWENNA: NO SHOW AGAIN.

MARTIN: TYPICAL.

WHAT IS THE MATTER WITH YOU PEOPLE?

COME THROUGH.

BETH: YOU LET HIM SPEAK TO YOU LIKE THAT?

MORWENNA: HE SPEAKS TO EVERYONE LIKE THAT.

BETH: WELL, I HOPE HE PAYS YOU WELL FOR THE PRIVILEGE.

YOU KNOW, A GREAT WOMAN GAVE THIS BOOK TO ME, AND TOLD ME WHEN I WAS FINISHED TO PASS IT ON TO SOMEONE ELSE.

YOU ARE THAT SOMEONE ELSE.

MORWENNA: YEAH.

I’M NOT REALLY INTO SELF-HELP BOOKS.

BETH: OH, YEAH, GIRL.

BECAUSE YOU’RE DOING SO WELL WITHOUT THEM.

GIVE THIS A CHANCE.

AND HEY, IF IT DOESN’T WORK, YOU CAN ALWAYS HIT HIM ACROSS THE FACE WITH IT.

MARTIN: NEXT PATIENT!

MORWENNA: GOOD LUCK.

MARTIN: COME THROUGH.

TAKE OFF YOUR CAMERA, ROLL UP YOUR SLEEVE, AND TAKE A SEAT.

BETH: YOU KNOW THAT THE DROPS GO IN THE EYE, RIGHT, NOT THE ARM?

MARTIN: I HAVE TO CHECK YOUR PULSE AND YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE.

TIMOLOL IS A BETA BLOCKER.

IF THERE’S ANY PROBLEM WITH YOUR HEART, I CAN’T PRESCRIBE YOU THAT MEDICATION.

IT SLOWS THE PULSE.

SLEEVE.

BETH: BELIEVE ME, MY HEART IS FINE.

25 YEARS OF MARRIAGE FINE, OF MAKING THAT WORK, WONDERING IF THIS IS IT, IF THIS IS LIFE, AND ONE MORNING I JUST WOKE UP AND BOUGHT A PLANE TICKET AND CAME OUT HERE.

I’VE NEVER FELT BETTER.

MARTIN: WHAT’S THE MATTER?

BETH: NOTHING.

I’M SORRY.

[COUGHS, SNIFFLES] I’M NOT CRYING, IT’S JUST, I HAVE-- I HAVE A GARDEN-VARIETY ASTHMA, AND THESE HILLS AROUND HERE HAVE GOT ME A LITTLE BREATHLESS, THAT’S ALL.

MARTIN: THEN WHY ARE YOU TAKING TIMOLOL?

BETH: BECAUSE MY DOCTOR PRESCRIBED IT AND HE’S A GOOD DOCTOR.

MARTIN: REALLY?

HOW WOULD YOU KNOW?

BETH: HE’S VERY EXPENSIVE.

MARTIN: I SEE.

THEN HE SHOULD HAVE KNOWN THAT SOME BETA BLOCKERS CAN TRIGGER SEVERE ASTHMA ATTACKS.

I’LL PRESCRIBE YOU LATANOPROST, WHICH IS WHAT YOUR PHYSICIAN SHOULD HAVE DONE IF HE WASN’T WORKING OUT THE BACK OF A COVERED WAGON.

BETH: OH.

AND I ALWAYS HEARD THAT THE BRITS WERE SO NICE AND POLITE.

WHAT DO I OWE YOU?

MARTIN: YOU DON’T OWE ME ANYTHING.

BETH: WELL, THANK YOU.

DO YOU KNOW WHAT SOME EXPERTS AND HEALERS HAVE STATED IS THE BEST MEDICINE A PERSON CAN HAVE?

A SIMPLE SMILE.

MARTIN: I’M SORRY, I DON’T UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU’RE SAYING.

YOUR ACCENT’S VERY THICK.

HERE’S YOUR PRESCRIPTION.

ERICA: OH.

IS BERT LARGE ANY GOOD?

MORWENNA: THE BEST.

EXPERT DIY AND PRECISION PLUMBING.

ERICA: GREAT.

UM, DO YOU THINK I COULD SEE THE DOCTOR?

MORWENNA: UH...YEAH.

HE’S GOT A FREE SLOT.

FOLLOW ME.

DOC.

PATIENT COMING THROUGH!

ERICA: NOW, YOU JUST WAIT OUTSIDE, OK?

BERNIE: I CAN PLAY WITH MY DOLL.

ERICA: OR YOU COULD READ YOUR BOOK.

HELLO.

AH.

I HAD A BIT OF A SPELL AT SCHOOL TODAY.

MARTIN: WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?

ERICA: I JUST FELT A LITTLE BIT DIZZY AGAIN, AND, ERM, FAINTED.

MARTIN: GET ONTO THE EXAMINATION TABLE.

ERICA: ALL RIGHT.

MARTIN: OPEN YOUR MOUTH.

[ERICA SPEAKING UNINTELLIGIBLY] MARTIN: STOP TALKING.

ERICA: I WAS JUST ASKING IF YOU THOUGHT MY GLANDULAR FEVER HAD COME BACK.

MARTIN: WELL, YOUR THROAT ISN’T SWOLLEN.

I WON’T KNOW MORE UNTIL I’VE TESTED YOUR BLOOD.

ROLL UP YOUR SLEEVE.

ERICA: IT JUST TERRIFIES ME, YOU KNOW?

LAST TIME I WAS SO WIPED OUT, EVERYTHING SORT OF FELL APART.

I COULDN’T DO MY JOB AND I WASN’T THERE FOR BERNIE AND THAT, SO... MARTIN: AS I SAID, I’LL KNOW MORE WHEN I’VE TESTED YOUR BLOOD.

IN THE MEANTIME, MONITOR YOUR CONDITION, AND IF YOU DO FEEL DIZZY OR FAINT, COME AND SEE ME IMMEDIATELY.

ERICA: CAN I JUST, ERM, IF THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH ME, I MEAN, LIKE PROPERLY WRONG WITH ME, YOU WON’T TELL LOUISA, WILL YOU?

MARTIN: I DON’T DISCUSS MY PATIENTS WITH MY WIFE OR ANYONE.

ERICA: THANKS FOR THE FAVOR, DOCTOR.

MARTIN: IT’S NOT A FAVOR.

IT’S A REGULATION OF THE GENERAL MEDICAL COUNCIL.

ERICA: OK. AL: HOW MUCH, STEVE?

STEVE: 4.50 A FISH, ROUGHLY.

PENHALE: WHY YOU BUYING FISH?

THOUGHT YOUR LAKE WAS FULL OF THEM.

AL: YEAH, BUT NONE OF MY GUESTS CAN CATCH ’EM.

PENHALE: I’VE BEEN OFFERED A TRANSFER TO EXETER CITY CENTER.

WHAT DO YOU THINK I SHOULD DO?

AL: YOU DO WHAT YOU WANT TO DO, JOE.

I’M SORT OF BUSY HERE, MATE.

PENHALE: YEAH, RIGHT, OF COURSE.

I’D GET A LOT MORE ACTION IN EXETER.

AL: WELL, THEN, GO FOR IT.

PENHALE: JUST DON’T THINK I COULD TURN MY BACK ON PORTWENN AND-- AL: THEN DON’T GO FOR IT.

PENHALE: I’M GETTIN’ MIXED MESSAGES.

I’M JUST SEALING THE DEAL.

MAN: WELL, NOT REALLY.

BERT: HOW ABOUT I GIVE YOU A DISCOUNT?

8%.

MAN: NO, THANKS.

BERT: THIS IS A MISTAKE.

IT’S GOING NOWHERE.

AL: NOW, NOW, DON’T GIVE UP, DAD.

BERT: ALL RIGHT.

ERICA: OH, YOU’RE THE GUY FROM THE LEAFLETS?

BERT: YES.

THAT’S ME.

BERT LARGE.

ERICA: GREAT.

I’VE JUST MOVED INTO A PLACE ROUND THE CORNER AND I’M HAVING SOME TROUBLE WITH A TAP IN THE KITCHEN.

ARE YOU AVAILABLE AT ANY TIME TO COME AND CHECK IT OUT?

BERT: IT’S A VERY BUSY PERIOD AT THE MOMENT BUT JUST LET ME SEE.

20 MINUTES?

ERICA: OH, GREAT.

YES.

SEASIDE COTTAGE.

[PLAYS OFF-KEY SCALES] ERICA: HEY.

SHE’S SELF-TAUGHT.

BERT: REALLY?

ERICA: IT’S QUITE AMAZING WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT IT.

BERT: IT MIGHT BE A CLOGGED SPOUT.

I’LL CLEAN IT AND THEN I’LL CHECK THE PIPES TO BE CLEAR OF SEDIMENT AND DEBRIS.

IT SHOULDN’T BE TOO EXPENSIVE.

ERICA: OH, NO, THAT DOESN’T MATTER.

I’M RENTING, SO YOU CAN JUST SEND THE BILL TO THE ESTATE AGENTS.

BERT: OOH!

I’LL DO THAT THEN.

JUST MENTIONING IN PASSING, I NOTICED THAT THE BANNISTER IS WOBBLING, RIGHT?

BIT OF A DEATH-TRAP THAT.

ALSO, YOUR ELECTRICAL APPLIANCES COULD MAYBE DO WITH A BIT OF A ONCE-OVER WHILE I’M HERE.

ERICA: RIGHT.

BERT: BETTER TO BE SAFE THAN SORRY.

ERICA: MM.

[BANGING] [OFF-KEY VIOLIN PLAYS] [BANGING] [OFF-KEY VIOLIN AND BANGING CONTINUE] [KNOCKING ON DOOR] MARTIN: I NEED TO SPEAK TO YOUR MOTHER.

BERNIE: MUM!

I’LL HAVE TO GO GET HER.

SHE NEVER HEARS ME.

ERICA: WHAT IS IT?

OH, HELLO.

HOW ARE YOU?

MARTIN: CAN YOU KEEP THE NOISE DOWN?

ERICA: WHAT?

MARTIN: YOU’RE MAKING TOO MUCH NOISE!

ERICA: OH, IT’S BERT.

HE’S DOING SOME WORK ON THE HOUSE.

MARTIN: THAT VIOLIN PLAYING IS EXCRUCIATING.

ERICA: ER, YOU CAN BARELY HEAR IT.

MARTIN: NO.

I ONLY LIVE THERE.

I CAN HEAR IT ALL.

MARTIN: SO NOT A MUSIC LOVER, THEN?

MARTIN: THAT’S NOT MUSIC!

ERICA: I HAPPEN TO THINK THAT BERNIE’S PLAYING IS BEAUTIFUL.

SHE’S GIFTED.

MARTIN: WELL, SHE’S NOT.

MAKE HER STOP.

[BANGING AND OFF-KEY VIOLIN RESUME] [DRILLING] MARTIN: OW!

BERT: MORNING, DOC.

I’M JUST FINISHING UP A BIT OF WORK IN HERE BUT IF YOU’VE GOT ANY JOBS YOU WANT DOING, JUST GIVE US A KNOCK, EH?

MARTIN: NO.

TIMONEY: THANK YOU.

PENHALE: DR. TIMONEY.

YOU RECOVERED FROM THE CRASH?

TIMONEY: YES.

I JUST CAME BACK TO PICK UP MY CAR.

[WHISPERS] WHAT ARE WE LOOKING AT?

PENHALE: OH.

I’VE BEEN OFFERED A TRANSFER.

TIMONEY: OOH.

PENHALE: I SUPPOSE I WAS JUST THINKING, IT’S FUNNY THE THINGS WE NEVER REALLY NOTICE WHEN WE’RE HERE.

THE THINGS WE’LL MISS.

TIMONEY: I LOST A PAIR OF FLIP-FLOPS ON A BEACH IN SPAIN ONCE.

YEARS AGO.

THEY WERE BRIGHT PINK.

HORRIBLE THINGS.

PENHALE: YEAH, BUT YOU’RE STILL THINKING ABOUT THEM.

EVEN THOUGH YOU’RE SOMEWHERE ELSE, PART OF YOU IS STILL THERE.

IT’S GOOD TO HAVE SOMEONE THAT UNDERSTANDS.

TIMONEY: HELLO?

MRS. TISHELL: OH, SORRY.

SORRY, I WAS JUST SEEING TO MY HUSBAND.

HOW CAN I HELP YOU?

TIMONEY: I NEED SOME PARACETAMOL.

MRS. TISHELL: YES, AND SOMETHING FOR THAT NASTY BRUISE.

I’LL GET YOU SOME ALOE VERA.

HOW DID YOU GET THAT BUMP?

TIMONEY: I CRASHED MY CAR.

MRS. TISHELL: OH, DEAR.

TIMONEY: THANKFULLY, LOUISA WAS THERE TO HELP, AND THE POLICEMAN TOOK ME TO SEE DR. ELLINGHAM.

MRS. TISHELL: OH, WELL, THIS VILLAGE IS VERY LUCKY TO HAVE SUCH A SKILLED DOCTOR.

TIMONEY: HE’S A CLIENT OF MINE, YOU KNOW.

MRS. TISHELL: OH.

TIMONEY: AND LOUISA.

COUPLES COUNSELING.

THEY’RE TRYING THEIR BEST TO FIND A WAY TO MAKE THEIR MARRIAGE WORK.

MRS. TISHELL: REALLY?

TIMONEY: IT’S QUITE A CHALLENGE, I CAN TELL YOU.

MRS. TISHELL: IS IT REALLY?

IT’S HER, ISN’T IT?

[DOOR OPENS] TIMONEY: DR. ELLINGHAM.

ELLINGHAM: DR. TIMONEY.

TIMONEY: IT’S BEEN FAR TOO LONG.

I HEAR YOU’RE RETIRED NOW.

ELLINGHAM: MORE OR LESS.

TIMONEY: I HOPE YOU’RE KEEPING BUSY.

INACTIVITY CAN BE DANGEROUS FOR THE MIND.

IT STARTS TO DECAY.

ELLINGHAM: MY MIND IS FINE, THANK YOU.

HOW ABOUT YOU?

HOW ARE YOU FEELING AFTER YOUR ACCIDENT?

TIMONEY: OH, BUMP AND SCRAPE.

IT WAS NOTHING.

ACTUALLY, CAN I GET SOME PARACETAMOL?

MRS. TISHELL: YOU--YOU’VE ASKED FOR THAT ALREADY.

TIMONEY: SO I HAVE.

SORRY, THIS HEADACHE’S GOT ME TURNED UPSIDE DOWN A LITTLE.

LOOKS LIKE IT’S ME THAT’S GOING SENILE, NOT YOU.

ELLINGHAM: THAT’S BECAUSE I’M NOT GOING SENILE.

TIMONEY: HAD A CAR ACCIDENT.

MRS. TISHELL: WELL, NOW SHE’S FORGOTTEN HER CHANGE.

OH, DEAR.

LOUISA: WELL DONE, HANNAH.

WELL DONE, LEON.

SAFE HOME.

BYE-BYE.

SEE YOU TOMORROW.

OH.

HOW WAS THE ART CLASS TODAY?

BERNIE: MUM, MUM.

ERICA: NO.

IT’S MISS HOLBROOKE WHEN WE’RE AT SCHOOL.

LOUISA: SORRY, I WAS JUST, I WAS JUST ASKING ABOUT THE, THE ART CLASS.

ERICA: OH, ERM, YES, RIGHT, ERM, EVERYONE PAINTED A FIELD.

ERM, SOME OF THEM ADDED RAINBOWS.

LOUISA: YEAH.

DID THEY ENJOY IT?

ERICA: YEAH.

LOUISA: WELL, THAT’S THE MAIN THING.

SEE YOU TOMORROW.

ERICA: BYE.

TIMONEY: LOUISA.

LOUISA: OH.

TIMONEY: I’VE HAD AN EXCELLENT IDEA FOR YOU AND DR. ELLINGHAM.

I NEED TO SEE YOU BOTH THIS EVENING.

LOUISA: WHY?

WHAT’S THE IDEA?

TIMONEY: I...I CAN’T TALK ABOUT IT NOW.

BUT IT’S VERY IMPORTANT THAT YOU’RE BOTH THERE.

AND YOU CAN’T BE LATE.

LOUISA: ERM, YEAH, I SUPPOSE SO.

SO, WHAT--WHAT TIME?

TIMONEY: 7:30.

SEE YOU THEN.

ERICA: AND THEN AFTER DINNER, IT’S VIOLIN PRACTICE, AND THEN WE’LL SEE WHERE YOU ARE WITH YOUR HOMEWORK.

BERNIE: ALL RIGHT, MUM.

ERICA: OH, NO, DID YOU GET MY MESSAGE?

THE ESTATE AGENT RANG.

THEY SAID THEY’RE NOT GONNA PAY YOU FOR ANY OF THE WORK YOU’VE DONE.

THEY SAID YOU’VE DONE THIS SORT OF THING TO THEM BEFORE.

BERT: THAT’S RIDICULOUS.

WELL, I’M NOT GONNA FINISH IT.

I’VE BEEN DOING GOOD WORK HERE AND SHOULD GET PAID FOR IT.

BERNIE: WHAT’S WRONG WITH THE LIGHT?

BERT: IT’S THE BULB THAT’S SETTLING, THAT’S ALL.

IT’S PERFECTLY NATURAL.

[ERICA SIGHS] BERNIE: MISS HOLBROOKE!

MUM!

JANICE: YOU MADE YOUR DECISION YET THEN?

PENHALE: INDUCTION STARTS ON MONDAY.

JANICE: OH.

SO YOU’RE GOING?

THAT’S A SHAME.

NOT GOING TO BE THE SAME ROUND HERE WITHOUT YOU.

PORTWENN IS GONNA MISS YOU.

PENHALE: IS IT?

JANICE: WELL, THE PEOPLE ARE GONNA MISS YOU.

I’LL MISS YOU, JOE.

PENHALE: REALLY?

JANICE: YEAH.

REALLY.

PENHALE: I DON’T HAVE TO GO.

I MEAN, I HAVEN’T ACTUALLY TOLD THEM I’M COMING YET.

JANICE: WELL, THERE’S A TWO FOR ONE OFFER AT THE CHIPPY ON MONDAY.

PENHALE: IS IT JUST FOR CHIPS OR IS FISH INCLUDED?

JANICE: IT’S FOR EVERYTHING.

PENHALE: I LOVE FISH AND CHIPS.

JANICE: YOU CAN BE MY PLUS ONE.

PENHALE: DO YOU LIKE MUSHY PEAS?

JANICE: NO.

PENHALE: ME EITHER.

[EXHALES] BERT: SHE’S AWAKE, DOC.

I TOLD HER NOT TO MOVE BUT SHE WOULDN’T LISTEN.

MARTIN: WHAT HAPPENED?

BERT: SHE FELL RIGHT DOWN THE STAIRS, DOC.

BUT NOT BECAUSE ANYBODY HAD BEEN WORKING ON THE ELECTRICS OR THE BANNISTER.

MARTIN: WHAT CAUSED YOU TO FALL?

ERICA: I JUST FELT A BIT DIZZY, THAT’S ALL.

MARTIN: WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR HAND?

ERICA: I CAUGHT IT WHEN I FELL, I THINK.

BERT: WHICH WASN’T MY FAULT, EITHER.

MARTIN: YOU WERE DIZZY BEFORE, WEREN’T YOU?

WHAT ABOUT YOUR HEARING?

IS THAT GETTING WORSE?

ERICA: I HAD SOME FUNNY NOISES IN MY RIGHT EAR LAST NIGHT.

MARTIN: THAT’S TINNITUS.

HOLD YOUR HEAD COMPLETELY STILL.

LOOK LEFT.

LOOK RIGHT.

YOUR EYES ARE OSCILLATING.

YOU HAVE MENIERE’S DISEASE.

BERT: IS THAT BAD, DOC?

MARTIN: THAT’S A DISORDER OF THE INNER EAR.

AFFECTS BALANCE AND HEARING.

ERICA: SO, IT’S NOT GLANDULAR FEVER THEN.

MARTIN: NO.

ERICA: THAT’S A RELIEF.

I SUPPOSE.

MARTIN: IT IS TREATABLE, WITH A DRUG CALLED BETAHISTINE.

YOU HAVE TO TAKE IT 3 TIMES A DAY FOR UP TO TWO YEARS.

YOU’LL NEED BALANCE TRAINING, PHYSIOTHERAPY, AND A LOW-SALT DIET.

ERICA: WILL I HAVE TO LEAVE MY JOB?

MARTIN: NO.

WITH THE RIGHT MANAGEMENT, YOU CAN STILL WORK.

ERICA: WELL, I HOPE SO, BECAUSE I CAN’T LEAVE THE JOB.

BERNIE: YEAH, YOU DON’T WANT TO GET FIRED AGAIN.

ERICA: NO.

THANK YOU.

I WASN’T FIRED.

THEY ASKED ME TO LEAVE.

IT’S NOT THE SAME THING.

MARTIN: THAT NEEDS DRESSING.

AHEM.

ERICA: NO, THE CURRICULUM DIDN’T PUSH THE CHILDREN FAR ENOUGH, YOU KNOW.

[GASPS] IT’S TO MAKE YOU STRONGER, BERNIE, ALL RIGHT?

IT’S A TOUGH WORLD OUT THERE.

LOOK HOW IT’S TREATED ME.

MARTIN: WOULD YOU KEEP YOUR HAND STILL, PLEASE?

ERICA: YOUR FATHER WALKED OUT, I LOST MY JOB.

WE NEED A FRESH START, WE NEED TO BE STRONG.

BERNIE: I DON’T WANT TO BE STRONG IF IT MEANS I HAVE NO FRIENDS.

ERICA: WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU’VE GOT NO FRIENDS?

YOU’VE GOT FRIENDS.

BERNIE: NO, I DON’T.

YOU’RE ALWAYS TRYING TO MAKE ME DIFFERENT.

I DON’T WANT TO BE DIFFERENT.

ERICA: OH, BERNIE.

BERNIE: PLEASE, MUM.

ERICA: OF COURSE YOU DON’T.

COME HERE.

MARTIN: NO, DON’T MOVE.

[SIGHS] ERICA: I’M SO SORRY.

I’M SORRY.

MARTIN: RIGHT.

WELL, MAKE AN APPOINTMENT AT THE SURGERY.

I’LL PREPARE A COURSE OF TREATMENT FOR YOU.

KEEP THAT DRY.

AND, ERM, STOP YOUR DAUGHTER FROM PLAYING THE VIOLIN.

BERNIE: I’M NOT THAT BAD.

MARTIN: YES, YOU ARE.

RUTH: BERT.

HOW ARE YOU?

BERT: WONDERFUL.

I JUST SPENT THE DAY DOING WORK I’M NOT GONNA GET PAID FOR.

RUTH: ALWAYS GET IT IN WRITING.

BERT: IT’S NOT EVEN THAT.

I HATE PLUMBING.

IT’S WHY I GAVE IT UP.

I DON’T WANT TO DO IT ANYMORE.

I WAS HAPPY MAKING WHISKY.

WHY DID I STOP?

RUTH: BECAUSE PC PENHALE THREATENED TO ARREST YOU IF YOU CONTINUED.

BERT: YOU KNOW WHAT?

HERE.

RUTH: WHAT DO I WANT THESE FOR?

BERT: BURN ’EM, BIN ’EM, DO WHAT YOU WANT.

I WON’T BE NEEDING ’EM ANY MORE.

RUTH: I’M ALL FOR GRAND SYMBOLIC GESTURES, BERT, BUT YOU MIGHT HAVE BINNED THESE YOURSELF.

[RINGS DOORBELL] TIMONEY: YES?

LOUISA: WE’RE HERE.

TIMONEY: I CAN SEE THAT.

LOUISA: YOU SAID YOU WANTED US TO COME AND SEE YOU.

TIMONEY: YES.

OF COURSE.

COME IN.

MM.

MM, MM, MM, MM.

SIT.

SO HOW ARE WE?

LOUISA: I SUPPOSE WE’RE INTRIGUED.

TIMONEY: THAT IS AN EXCELLENT WORD.

MARTIN.

A WORD THAT’S SIMILAR TO INTRIGUED.

MARTIN: ERM, INTERESTED.

STRONGLY INTERESTED.

LOUISA: THAT--THAT’S TWO WORDS.

MARTIN: YES, I KNOW.

LOUISA: WELL, SHE SAID A WORD.

MARTIN: DR. TIMONEY, IS THIS THE EXCELLENT IDEA?

TIMONEY: OH.

THANK YOU.

LOUISA: I THINK YOU SAID THAT YOU HAD AN EXCELLENT IDEA FOR US.

TIMONEY: I DID SAY THAT, YES.

I WANT YOU TO STAND UP AND START MARCHING.

LOUISA: CAN I ASK WHY?

TIMONEY: THINK ABOUT IT.

THE BRAIN CONTROLS THE BODY.

BUT THE BODY INFLUENCES THE BRAIN.

MM, MM.

MM MM MM.

MARTIN: DR. TIMONEY, ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?

TIMONEY: BOTH ALL AND RIGHT, THANK YOU.

MARTIN: DR. TIMONEY.

FOLLOW MY FINGER.

MY FINGER.

I THINK YOU MIGHT HAVE DAMAGED THE ORBITOFRONTAL AREA OF YOUR BRAIN WHEN YOU CRASHED YOUR CAR.

IT WOULD EXPLAIN YOUR STRANGE BEHAVIOR.

TIMONEY: MY BEHAVIOR IS FINE.

YOU’RE JUST IGNORING THE ISSUE, AS ALWAYS.

MARTIN: RIGHT.

SHE NEEDS A CT SCAN IMMEDIATELY.

YOU SIT WITH HER.

I’LL GO CALL AN AMBULANCE.

TIMONEY: UHH.

LOUISA: WELL... GOOD NIGHT, THEN.

MARTIN: GOOD NIGHT.

LOUISA, WAIT.

I CAN’T GO ON LIVING IN THAT HOUSE.

I CAN’T GO ON LIVING LIKE THIS, ACTUALLY.

LOUISA: NO, I UNDERSTAND.

MAYBE SHE’S RIGHT.

MAYBE WE AREN’T ACCEPTING THINGS.

MARTIN: I THINK IT’S TIME FOR US TO WORK OUT...

EXACTLY WHAT WE’RE GONNA DO.

WITH JAMES AND EVERYTHING.

LOUISA: OK. GOOD NIGHT.

MARTIN: GOOD NIGHT.
