(piano music) ♪ (theme music) ♪ (whimpering) ♪ It's rota.

Pardon?

(Martin) A roster is just a list of names.

A rota is a schedule of activities.

(Louisa) Oh.

Thank you, Martin.

So you're blue, and I've scheduled you to drop James at nursery every other day and collect every third, plus every other Thursday when I have afterschool meetings.

Is that strictly necessary?

Well, it's the only time I get to catch up with the other teachers.

(Martin) No, not the meetings, the rota.

(Louisa) Well, I thought you'd approve.

Things have been so hectic since Janice left, not that she was much help.

Besides, we'll need it more than ever when I start studying.

-If you start studying.

-Well, yeah.

If.

Look, we can discuss it later.

Maybe schedule in a conversation for Wednesday.

-Yes.

-That was a joke.

-Hey.

-Yes.

(child) Wait up!

(Ruth) I've spoken to Mrs. Trafford and she believes the sale of the farm will go through within the month.

I'll try to make the transition as painless as possible for you both.

(Al) Transition to what?

Losing the B&B?

Not having a place to live?

(Bert) Remember the doc's orders, boy, stay calm.

(Al) You'll need a place to stay, as well, won't you?

I thought you were sleeping in the van.

(Bert) Technically, I maybe been staying at the B&B.

(Ruth) I see.

Well, that'll have to change.

And you'll need to find somewhere for the whiskey still.

(Al) Ruth, is there any way we could change your mind?

(Ruth) I'm sorry, Al.

I've spent enough money on all this.

I don't want to lose any more.

No, the decision's been made.

(sighing) (Martin) Your heartbeat's regular, there are no murmurs.

How are you getting on with the medication?

(Clive) Oh, my Sal's on top of all that, Doc.

She runs a tight ship.

(Martin) And what about the cardiac rehabilitation?

(Clive) I'm enjoying it.

In fact, I'm planning on stepping it up again.

Get myself really fit.

(Martin) Right.

You can get dressed.

(Clive) Doc, have you ever heard of race walking?

It has the same benefits health wise as normal walking.

-It's just faster.

-Yeah.

Well, I was thinking of asking Sal to join me.

You know, joint interest, bringing us closer together.

(Martin) Well, take it easy, yeah?

(Clive) Oh, don't worry about me, Doc.

-I never felt fitter.

-Still, I'd speak to your physiotherapist before doing anything, and make an appointment to see me in one month.

(Clive) Right you are, Doc.

(bird squawking) (Bert) Oh!

Looking good, Ken!

(Ken) I don't feel so good.

(Bert) Well, at least you're out of hospital, eh?

I was gonna come and visit you but people like their peace and quiet, don't they?

(Ken) Yes, Bert, they do.

Just before your incident, we were talking about how many bottles of whiskey you were gonna take.

-Bert.

-Now, for a start, how about 12 bottles?

Sale or return.

I got the first batch here.

-I'm shutting the pub.

-What?

(Ken) Being a landlord isn't a job for a recovering alcoholic.

(Bert) Ooh.

Well, I wasn't aware of your previous situation.

But, well, just because you work in a sweetshop, it don't mean that you have to eat all the cakes.

(Ken) I'm going to my sister's tomorrow while I decide what to do with this place.

(Bert) The pub is the cornerstone of the community!

You have a civic duty to keep it open!

(Ken) I'm sorry, Bert.

You'll just have to sell your whiskey to somebody else.

(Al) Ken didn't take much, then?

(Bert) He's not taking anything.

He's closing the pub.

Right.

That is it.

Final straw, writing on the wall.

I am done.

I'm officially handing over the business to you.

-The business?

-Yep.

(Al) You mean the failed B&B and the failed whiskey company?

(Bert) All yours.

(Al) So, you're quitting and leaving me to pick up the pieces?

Not to mention Ruth being out of pocket?

(Bert) We'll talk about this later, when you, boy, are a little less emotional.

Emotional?

It... (Martin) Mm.

Cimex lectularius.

-Doesn't sound good.

-Bed bugs.

Have you been sleeping in a bed other than your own lately?

Huh, chance would be a fine thing!

That's more my ex-husband's department than mine.

I knew he'd been around the block a few times, but it didn't mean he had to visit every bloody house on the way.

-Yes or no?

-No.

Go away!

(Caitlin) Anyway, I pride myself on a clean house.

(Martin) Bed bugs aren't attracted to dirt.

I'll write you a prescription for a mild steroid cream.

What's wrong with your hand?

(Caitlin) This?

Been like it for ages.

(Martin) It's Dupuytren's contracture.

Why haven't you shown me this before?

(Caitlin) My mother's hand was the same.

I just thought it was genetic.

(Martin) Yeah, it is, but it's also easily curable.

Make an appointment to come and see me.

I'll perform a needle fasciotomy and straighten your fingers out.

I run the shop on my own now.

I can't keep closing.

My customers won't like it.

(Martin) If left untreated, you run the risk of permanent tissue damage and the loss of function in your hand altogether.

There you go.

(cell phone ringing) (melancholy music) Yes?

I'll be right there.

-Is everything okay?

-No.

Sounds like Clive Tishell has had another heart attack.

(Louisa) Oh, no.

♪ (Martin) I can't believe you didn't realize he was dead.

(Joe) I just thought he was a good listener.

Oh, God.

Someone is gonna have to tell Sally.

-It's me, isn't it?

-Yeah.

-Will you come with me, Doc?

-No.

No.

I need some support.

She respects you.

You're a doctor.

(Martin) Fine.

Come on.

(Al) Right.

Under the circumstances, I think we should close for the night, but one last drink, on the house, for Clive Tishell.

(all) Clive Tishell.

(Joe) This is about Mr. Tishell.

Don't worry, Doc.

I know what I'm doing.

(Sally) Dr. Ellingham, what can I do for you at this hour?

(Joe) Mrs. Sally Tishell?

-Wife of Clive Tishell?

-Of course she is.

Idiot.

(Joe) Just following procedure, Doc.

What procedure?

(Joe) Well, you know I said I'd make sure Clive got home safe?

(Sally) No?

Remember I told you in the pub?

No.

(Joe) Well, anyway, Clive won't be coming home tonight.

(Sally) Why?

Where's he going?

Well, that's the big question.

I suppose it depends on your beliefs.

(Martin) Oh, shut up, Penhale!

Mrs. Tishell, Clive, uh, Mr. Tishell, had another heart attack and I'm afraid he's dead.

They've, um, taken his body to the hospital in Truro.

(Sally) Oh.

Did you understand what I just told you?

Yes.

Thanks for telling me.

You're welcome.

(Sally) Goodnight.

(Martin) Goodnight.

(soft music) (bell ringing) ♪ (Joe) See?

That's what happens when you don't follow procedure, Doc.

♪ (birds squawking) (Louisa) I was thinking we should pop in and see Mrs. Tishell this evening.

See how she's coping.

(Martin) Yes, if you like.

(Louisa) And I'm sorry to ask, Martin, but are you still okay to pick James up from nursery?

(Martin) Uh, there's no need.

(Louisa) There is, Martin.

I'll be sailing.

(Martin) No, I mean there's no need to pick him up from nursery because nursery is gonna bring him home from now on.

(Louisa) How did you manage to swing that?

(Martin) Just seemed the most convenient solution for everyone.

(Louisa) Oh, well done.

Louisa, can we talk about this interview of yours?

(Louisa) Uh, yes, yes, we will, this evening.

Sorry.

Yeah, coming!

Coming, James!

(dark music) ♪ (Caitlin) Doesn't hurt at all.

(Martin) That's because of the anesthetic.

♪ (snorting) ♪ Just hold that.

♪ (Caitlin) Are you okay, Doc?

My Jimmy was the same.

First sign of blood and he'd faint.

Should have known then he was no good.

Stop talking.

(clearing throat) You'll need to take a few days off work, give your hand a chance to heal.

(Caitlin) Shouldn't be a problem.

Now I've Bert helping me around the place.

(Martin) I'll make you an appointment to see a physiotherapist.

They'll work out a program to restore the movement in your fingers.

Thanks, Doc!

You are a wonder.

(Martin) Thank you.

-What's this?

-That's the first installment of the money we owe you.

It's £500.

(Ruth) Come on in.

This is all from one night?

It was a special night, to be fair.

-But you closed the bar early.

-Yeah.

Poor Clive, eh?

So there would have been even more?

Well, it won't always be that much, Ruth.

I realize that.

Why are you playing down your success?

It's important to be honest with you, considering what we owe you.

-It's your father's debt.

-It was my business, too.

Look, if you would agree to come on board, I would take the bare minimum until you're all squared up.

♪ On one condition.

I'm doing this alone.

Dad is not gonna be involved.

Good.

We'll talk later, then.

(Al) Okay.

♪ Whoo!

(Amy) Steady.

That's it.

Wait for me, miss!

Hello, Steven, I thought you were ill. (Frank) He says he's feeling better.

(Steven) I think I just needed a good rest, miss.

I'm all set to get my certificate.

Grab a lifejacket and climb aboard, then.

Set sail in five minutes.

(Frank) Due to get a bit choppy later.

Gonna need your sea legs, then, eh?

Yeah.

(Frank) See you later.

Have a good time!

-Oh, Dr. Ellingham!

(Ruth) I didn't think you'd be open.

People still need their medicines.

Now how can I help you?

Well, I just wondered how you were coping.

(Sally) Me?

Oh, I'm fine.

Oh, I'm fine.

You seem to be taking Clive's death very well.

(Sally) You, me, Dr. Ellingham, we're all medical professionals.

Steven's not feeling very well.

(Amy) Hang on.

-Take the helm.

-What?

Shouldn't I-- Well... (Amy) How are you?

Bye.

(Louisa) Yeah, that's a good idea, Oliver, but we've got no signal out here.

Steven, I'm sorry if you're feeling sick again, but we've got more important worries.

(Steven) We need to lower the mainsail to steer ourselves onto a starboard tack, miss.

(Louisa) Really?

Well, how do you know that?

(Steven) I sail with my dad every weekend.

(Louisa) Good!

Good!

Everyone listen to Steven!

Steven, what do we do about the, um, the steering thing?

(Martin) Well, she was pretty unresponsive when I broke the news to her last night.

(Ruth) Oh, it's more than that, Martin.

It's as if a customer had died, not her husband.

(Martin) It's denial, isn't it?

Classic reaction to sudden loss?

(Ruth) Hm.

I didn't realize you were so enlightened.

(Martin) Well, what do you want me to do about it?

Morwenna!

(Ruth) Well, I just wanted to make sure you were aware, that's all.

We should all keep an eye on Mrs. Tishell.

-Should we?

-She's one of your patients.

Yes, I suppose she is.

And we don't want a repeat of that business with James Henry.

Fish and chips.

You might as well know.

I'm gonna run the pub.

Ruth is gonna back me.

On the condition that you aren't involved.

(Bert) Well, I am gonna pay her back.

(Al) How?

Hm?

With the money you earn from the shop?

It's gonna take years.

So it's up to me, as usual.

-Are you okay?

-I'm fine, it's Amy.

(Martin) Hi.

What are you doing here?

-I'm better.

-Well, you don't look it.

(Steven) I did get seasick, but I'm okay now.

(Louisa) Steven is responsible for getting us back to shore.

We couldn't have done it without him.

Does that mean I've passed my activity certificate, miss?

Amy has the final say, but yes, I expect so.

(spitting) (Martin) That's gonna need stitches.

What's going on?

(Louisa) You felt faint, cut your head.

(Martin) Lie still.

(Steven) Miss?

(Martin) What's that on your hair?

It's hair restorer.

(Martin) How much have you put on?

(Steven) Miss?

Two packets?

Since yesterday.

(Martin) You're an idiot!

Why didn't you consult me?

I told you I was worried about my hair.

(Martin) Yes, and I told you to use the ointment and wait and see what happens!

I needed a quicker solution.

(Martin) There isn't one!

Do you think I give this advice on a whim?

Over-the-counter hair restorer contains minoxidil which is a drug developed to treat high blood pressure, and you have very low blood pressure.

It's not surprising you felt faint and banged your head.

I had to risk it.

I don't want to wear a hat on my wedding day.

(Martin) Oh, no.

Never mind drowning all these children.

-Miss!

-What is it, Steven?

(retching) (children) Ew!

(birds squawking) (Martin) Get some rest for the next 24 hours.

Avoid any strenuous activity.

(Amy) I will.

Ooh, uh, Doc?

As a way of thanks, I'd like to invite you and Louisa to my wedding.

(Martin) Um, no, thank you.

Oh.

Right.

Oh, I'm so sorry about all of that.

(Louisa) Don't worry, the children all got the minibus back without any further problems, which is a minor miracle in itself.

(Amy) And thanks for getting my boat back.

You're welcome.

-Are you all right?

-I'm fine, as long as I never, ever have to get on a boat again.

-Martin... -Mm?

(Louisa) I've been thinking about the interview and I've decided to go.

(Martin) Right.

-Good.

-Oh.

I mean, I'd only need to go into the course one day a week.

(Martin) Have you squared this with your governors?

(Louisa) No.

No, not--not yet.

That was my next step.

(Martin) You are aware that this will create a lot more work for both of us?

(Louisa) Well, in the short term, yes, but perhaps if the child therapy works, I can stop teaching, build my hours around James.

I mean, it won't be easy at first, but it's worth a try.

(Martin) And this'll make you happy?

(Louisa) Yes.

Yes, I think it will.

(Martin) Well, then you have my full support.

(soft music) (Louisa) Thank you.

Thank you, Martin.

(Martin) You're welcome.

You're going to need all the help you can get.

-And by that you mean... -Well, it's been a long time since you were in full-time education.

See, you've only ever had a handful of therapy sessions.

I think you might just find that you're a little out of your depth.

(Louisa) Thank you, Martin.
