00:00:01Morning.
00:00:02I see the media are still here.
00:00:05Yeah, it pushes a lot of buttons, this one.
00:00:07It certainly pushes mine.
00:00:09Any news?
00:00:10His condition deteriorated overnight.
00:00:14Ooh! Is that a croissant?
00:00:16Erm, yes.
00:00:17You know, if I was to take that off you,
00:00:19I'd be doing your arteries a favour.
00:00:21Oh, she's so nice.
00:00:22P.C. Jasmine Dajani, this is Dr. Reid.
00:00:24Er, Emma.
00:00:26Heard a lot about you from the lads.
00:00:28That's worrying.
00:00:29Oh, you're their favourite FME.
00:00:31Go on, I miss breakfast.
00:00:33I'm afraid you don't get around me that easily.
00:00:36So, any leads? Anything CCTV?
00:00:38Camera failure on the street where the incident occurred.
00:00:41And no witnesses so far?
00:00:44On the plus, Psychic Sue's been on the phone.
00:00:47Apparently the driver lives near water.
00:00:49Yeah, time wasters.
00:00:51You won't be saying that when the lottery numbers she gave me come up.
00:00:55Blasted around jokes?
00:00:56Yeah, someone has to.
00:00:58So, you said that the boy's condition had deteriorated?
00:01:01He's in a coma.
00:01:02Robert!
00:01:03Talking of time wasters?
00:01:04Just the man.
00:01:05Morning, Ted.
00:01:06I hear about the appeal, and I'm volunteering for the bannards.
00:01:09Until the pub's open.
00:01:10We don't need any help, thanks.
00:01:12Ah.
00:01:13And I'm sober as a judge, I'll have you know.
00:01:17Oh, and who's this vision of beauty?
00:01:19Dr. Emma Reid?
00:01:21Sergeant Ted Dawes.
00:01:22At your disposal.
00:01:23Retired.
00:01:24Ah.
00:01:25Oh.
00:01:26What have you done to your hand?
00:01:27Oh, it's all right.
00:01:28I just, er, I did it when I was blotter last night.
00:01:31I just put a plaster on it.
00:01:32I think that needs more than a plaster.
00:01:34Do you mind if I take a look?
00:01:36Aye.
00:01:37Unless there's anything you need me to do?
00:01:39Seeing as it's you, Ted, but then on you by, yeah?
00:01:42After you.
00:01:45You better look after that.
00:01:47Seriously?
00:01:48Can't have you going hungry on the beat.
00:01:53Ow.
00:01:55What?
00:01:57And you didn't see a car driving away.
00:01:59Oh, yeah.
00:02:03Sorry, excuse me.
00:02:04Can you hear it?
00:02:05Do any of you even care?
00:02:07Just get started.
00:02:08Get started.
00:02:09Crazy.
00:02:10And you think that's appropriate sort of language to use, do you?
00:02:13What's going on?
00:02:14Thank goodness, officer.
00:02:16I am on the receiving end of the most pernicious of verbal abuse.
00:02:21Well, I could hear you from over there, madam, but I couldn't hear anyone else.
00:02:24Are you a local resident?
00:02:26Well, I was defending myself.
00:02:28Yes, do you live here?
00:02:30I was here to pay my respects to the little boy who's been injured.
00:02:34Right, well, I'm going to have to ask you to leave.
00:02:36I think the residents have been through enough, don't you?
00:02:38I was trying to help.
00:02:40Well, whatever your intentions, you're creating a public disorder.
00:02:43I am doing nothing of the sort.
00:02:47I want your name and number, young lady.
00:02:49I intend to speak to your superior.
00:02:51Fine.
00:02:53Well, you can come with me to the station.
00:02:55I'm not going anywhere with you.
00:02:57I'm arresting you for disorderly behaviour.
00:02:59Oh, get your hands off me!
00:03:02Get the car!
00:03:03get the car!
00:03:05You were right. I don't want to see us, but listen to it.
00:03:07We'll meet in your presence before we do anything, Miriam.
00:03:10That's right. Do you please? You can't see me.
00:03:13Miriam. Miriam.
00:03:15Wait. Miriam.
00:03:16Are you going to help?
00:03:17No.
00:03:18You are hurting me. Get up.
00:03:21You're breaking my arm, you brute.
00:03:24You dislocated my shoulder.
00:03:26I'll sue my arm with a justice and a peace.
00:03:30Are you hurt?
00:03:32Only my dignity.
00:03:33Are you sure you're okay?
00:03:35Can I please say it was a drug dealer and not some old bint with a massive handbag?
00:03:40No, because there are witnesses.
00:03:44I don't know why you're laughing. You've got to go and examine her.
00:03:49I think I've cracked a rib.
00:03:51Oh, I doubt it. You might have a sore head, though.
00:03:54I'm seeing stars.
00:03:56Are you?
00:03:58No.
00:03:59But you're making me plush.
00:04:01Back to work.
00:04:03Yeah.
00:04:04Thanks, Doc.
00:04:05I think.
00:04:07Hm.

00:06:00fancy going for a drink sometime assuming i'm not barking up the wrong tree you're not
00:06:09but it would be a bit weird wouldn't it going on a date with a colleague and
00:06:16you're quite a bit younger well there's only one way to find out hmm well um
00:06:30yes i'd love to great i'll be in touch right then night
00:06:46it's me emma i've got a spot sorry a zit on my chin
00:07:07why tonight and all night well that's it i'm not going oh yes you are
00:07:14acne at my age so what now your one solitary spot is acne it's a volcano try a dab of toothpaste or
00:07:22perfume something will dry out quickly i've only got half an hour okay well look you've got two
00:07:27options either squeeze it and cover it with makeup or be upfront about it and show her that it's proof
00:07:32that you're still young at heart but gotta go bye it's massive
00:07:46so
00:07:58Hi. Hi, I'm so sorry I'm late. I should have texted you to say that I was running late.
00:08:23You, um, you must have thought I'd got cold feet. Well, another hour I would have filed a missing persons.
00:08:30It's just, um, well, my son phoned as I was leaving the house, and he's in Australia, so there's the time difference.
00:08:36Australia? Wow. Is he on holiday, gap year? No, no, no, he lives there.
00:08:43Oh, right. So he's... 31.
00:08:48Oh. He's a nurse in a hospital in Sydney, and a patient of his had died, and he was upset. I couldn't just call him back.
00:08:57No, of course not. I can't believe you have a son almost my age. No, I mean, you don't look old enough.
00:09:07Right.
00:09:18Yeah, Ted definitely had a twinkle in his eye for you, I could tell.
00:09:22But it was more than a twinkle. It was open season.
00:09:25Oh, I think he was just trying to get a connection with the job again.
00:09:28I see flowers in your future, and maybe a card with kittens on them.
00:09:33Stop it.
00:09:35But it is easy to see how he ended up with the drinking problem down.
00:09:39I mean, the canteen culture, going to the pub straight after a shift.
00:09:43Do you feel pressure to join in?
00:09:45Uh, no, but it is one way to make sure you don't take the job home with you.
00:09:51I know, but obliteration. Mind you, it's not just the police, is it? I've seen it with surgeons, therapists, GPs.
00:09:59The shift patterns don't exactly encourage you having a life outside the job, either.
00:10:03Exactly. I mean, how many people do we both know who are still single?
00:10:06Oh, all ones with broken relationships, where the job has been a factor.
00:10:11Although the one beacon I see is Rob Hollings.
00:10:14Oh, I've always looked up to him for a lot of reasons.
00:10:18And he has a very strong and loving relationship with Karen.
00:10:22Have you met her?
00:10:24You could say that. I see her almost every day. She's the receptionist at the mill.
00:10:29And?
00:10:30Um, she's a force of nature.
00:10:35Oh, the Sarge was talking about how she was hogging the karaoke at a party no one could get near.
00:10:42Yeah, well, she doesn't need any encouragement or a microphone.
00:10:45He said she, quote, cut a sway through all the oldies but goodies, unquote.
00:10:52I mean, George Michael, Bryan Adams, someone I've never heard of, what are they called?
00:10:57Um, Duran Duran.
00:10:59Oh, look, I mean, when I say oldies, I'm not...
00:11:01Yeah, yeah, yeah. You mean the stuff that I was listening to on my Walkman.
00:11:05Which is probably the same stuff that your mum was listening to when she was changing your nappies.
00:11:09What's a Walkman?
00:11:11No, I'm joking.
00:11:13It was a record player.
00:11:15Coal-powered.
00:11:17Still joking.
00:11:19You know the age thing isn't an issue for me.
00:11:22And yet we keep coming back to it.
00:11:25Yeah.
00:11:26How's your food?
00:11:27Yeah.
00:11:28It's good.
00:11:29God.
00:11:30Why are you even here, Emma?
00:11:31Hmm.
00:11:32Especially when you've got Mount Vesuvius on your face.
00:11:35Bye.
00:11:36Bye.
00:11:37Bye.
00:11:46Hi, guys.
00:11:48Huh?
00:11:49Bye, bye, bye.
00:11:51Bye, bye.
00:11:53Bye, bye.
00:11:55Bye, bye, bye, welcome, hey.
00:11:59Bye.
00:12:00Bye, bye.
00:12:01Bye, bye, bye.
00:12:03Bye.
00:12:04Bye.
00:12:05Oh, thank you.
00:12:16Another bottle or straight on to something sweet and sticky?
00:12:19Oh, you know, I think I've had enough wine.
00:12:21I didn't even know if you drank or not.
00:12:24Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:12:25I drink like a fish, add some wine, and I'm sure I'm hilarious.
00:12:30Right, so, do you say anything you fancy?
00:12:36Well, I'll be honest.
00:12:39The only time I order dessert at a restaurant is when the date's been a disaster.
00:12:44So I stuff myself with something over the top,
00:12:47like a pavlova or a mountain of profiteroles,
00:12:51and that way the evening hasn't been a total waste.
00:12:55Well, that's certainly original.
00:12:57Yeah.
00:12:57You know desserts can be a real tell, can't they?
00:13:02Can they?
00:13:03What people order, like a slice of cheesecake with two spoons, means...
00:13:07Oh, you see, I would really like the cheesecake, but I don't want to look like a pig.
00:13:12Bingo.
00:13:13OK, well, what if I ordered, um, I don't know, chocolate cake?
00:13:17With or without cream?
00:13:19Single or whipped.
00:13:21Are we still talking about the cream?
00:13:24What if it was the squirty kind?
00:13:27Oh, stop!
00:13:30People are looking!
00:13:33Let them!
00:13:36Are you ready for the naked?
00:13:37Yeah.
00:13:37What do you want?
00:13:38Oh, I don't know.
00:13:41You decide.
00:13:42Two glasses of cassis, please.
00:13:46Good choice.
00:13:46There's so much for no more wine.
00:13:50Oh, well, it's sweet, not sickly.
00:13:55Well, excuse me and just...
00:13:57Oh, I think that cassis was one too many.
00:14:13I love you, though.
00:14:15So, what did you think of my croissant?
00:14:18Oh, very nice.
00:14:20Oh, good.
00:14:21And, um, the cream horn, was that...
00:14:24Oh, nothing Freudian.
00:14:25Sometimes a cream horn is just a cream horn.
00:14:28Fair enough.
00:14:29So, the kitchen's through there.
00:14:31Decaf, all right?
00:14:32Oh, when you said coffee, you actually...
00:14:35You actually meant coffee.
00:14:36Well, what did you think I meant?
00:14:37I take it last night went well?
00:14:53I was a little late, but once I got there, yes, I mean...
00:14:57As we started to get to know each other, it was, um...
00:15:01Hmm.
00:15:02Hmm.
00:15:02Hmm.
00:15:03Don't tell me that you broke the first date rule.
00:15:08Really, Zara?
00:15:10Well, you must know, we did kiss.
00:15:13Good girl.
00:15:14And it was amazing.
00:15:16I mean, it's one of the best I've had.
00:15:17I'm literally buzzing.
00:15:19You sound like a lovesick teenager.
00:15:21Oh, come on, you know what I mean.
00:15:22What's that on your neck?
00:15:23What?
00:15:23Is that a love bite?
00:15:24What?
00:15:25Oh, shut up!
00:15:27You're just jealous.
00:15:30Yes.
00:15:31And, um, don't tell anyone about this.
00:15:34It's not strictly kosher.
00:15:37You know what?
00:15:38They're separate eavesdropping.
00:15:39Oh!
00:15:40You made me chuckle.
00:15:41Hmm?
00:15:42Guilty conscience.
00:15:44Actually, I was hoping I'd see you.
00:15:46Because Aisha said you went on a date last night.
00:15:49Did she?
00:15:51Hmm.
00:15:51And I'm a bit confused.
00:15:53Are you bisexual now?
00:15:55Because you had that thing with Gareth.
00:15:56Yes, thank you for reminding me.
00:15:57Oh, sorry.
00:15:59All right.
00:16:01If I had to give myself a label, then I would say I was pansexual.
00:16:07Oh.
00:16:09Oh, hang on.
00:16:11Is that the one where you're not attracted to anyone?
00:16:14No, that doesn't make any sense.
00:16:15Oh, is it the one where you're gender neutral?
00:16:18Or where anything goes?
00:16:20Look it up, Valerie.
00:16:21Oh, well, you've moved on from smiling, and now we are pigging out, are we?
00:16:32They were a gift from a patient.
00:16:34They will be rude not to.
00:16:38Oh, no.
00:16:39I am made of stronger stuff.
00:16:43Clearly.
00:16:43Anyway, I was looking for you.
00:16:45Where did you disappear to?
00:16:47None of your business.
00:16:48So, are we going to be seeing Jasmine again?
00:16:53Well, I could say the same.
00:16:55None of your business.
00:16:57But you won't, because you are dying to tell me.
00:17:01Tonight.
00:17:01You don't waste your time.
00:17:03Well, I just want to see her.
00:17:05What can I say?
00:17:05Well, you've only had one date.
00:17:07So?
00:17:08Well, just be...
00:17:10What?
00:17:10Careful?
00:17:11Well, and that's it.
00:17:12Being careful for the rest of my life.
00:17:15Sometimes, Zara, you just have to eat the damn chocolate.
00:17:21You see, for me, it's never really been about the gender.
00:17:25It's about the person.
00:17:27I mean, take this tea.
00:17:30Go on.
00:17:31Well, for argument's sake, right?
00:17:34It's peach flavour, and I like peach flavour.
00:17:38Yeah?
00:17:39I'm comfortable with it.
00:17:41I'm used to it.
00:17:42Right.
00:17:43But then one day, I hear about another flavour.
00:17:46Ah, passion fruit.
00:17:48Right.
00:17:48Right.
00:17:50And I think, well, just because I know I like peach flavour,
00:17:56doesn't mean I can't try passion fruit.
00:17:59Does it?
00:17:59No, but are you experimenting with different flavours just for the sake of it?
00:18:05Oh, no.
00:18:06Oh, no.
00:18:06No, no.
00:18:07I'm...
00:18:07I'm just very attracted to this flavour.
00:18:11But wouldn't you know by now what flavour you're more suited to?
00:18:17Well, I like all flavours.
00:18:19Always have done.
00:18:21It's just that I find this passion fruit one particularly irresistible, and...
00:18:28I'd like to stick with it.
00:18:31Are you paying me a compliment?
00:18:34Well, I'm trying to.
00:18:39I've had better, but thanks.
00:18:40OK.
00:18:42You did say you were free tonight.
00:18:44Yeah.
00:18:44Why?
00:18:45Good.
00:18:45I've organised a little surprise.
00:18:48Oh, what is it?
00:18:50Well, it wouldn't be a surprise if I told you now, would it?
00:18:52Oh, all right.
00:18:53Fair enough.
00:18:53No, I had a great time.
00:19:00Yeah, me too.
00:19:04I would love to.
00:19:06Oh, you know, give me a ring.
00:19:09All right.
00:19:11Bye-bye.
00:19:13You've only known her five minutes.
00:19:16Well, it's not like you've always waited for things to develop.
00:19:20I would be more cautious these days.
00:19:22Jumping straight into bed with someone isn't so wise.
00:19:25We didn't just jump into bed.
00:19:27We danced.
00:19:28What?
00:19:29Street dance.
00:19:31Jasmine took me to a class.
00:19:32My God, woman, you could do yourself a mischief.
00:19:35It was fun.
00:19:36She was fun.
00:19:38And what about the age difference?
00:19:42What about it?
00:19:43Well, does it bother you?
00:19:44From what I hear, it didn't bother you when you slept with Jack Hollands.
00:19:49Well, that was...
00:19:50What?
00:19:50Before you were more cautious?
00:19:53I would never do something like that now.
00:19:56Oh, well, maybe you should.
00:19:58Life is short, Zara, and I intend to make the most of it.
00:20:02Maybe you should, too.
00:20:03It's me, leaving a message for the Queen of Doom.
00:20:08Thank you for tainting me with your cynicism.
00:20:13Oh, I think this makes a change, not being first.
00:20:16Well, you know, I hate to be predictable.
00:20:18So, our first morning date.
00:20:25Oh, that's the joy of shift work.
00:20:27Yeah.
00:20:28What are you going to have?
00:20:29Um, I don't know.
00:20:32Look, it's a nice day.
00:20:39Fancy taking breakfast on the go?
00:20:43That sounds great.
00:20:44Yeah.
00:20:48So, how was your shift yesterday?
00:20:51Uh, pretty quiet.
00:20:52Just a couple of drunks.
00:20:53Unlike us, on our first tea-total date.
00:20:57Oh, no!
00:20:58I hope you don't only fancy me after a few drinks.
00:21:01No.
00:21:02It's just, back there, I...
00:21:04Yeah, I'm teasing.
00:21:06I don't want you to think that I was...
00:21:09What, that you were embarrassed?
00:21:11I wasn't.
00:21:12I'm not.
00:21:13I just feel...
00:21:16Strangely self-conscious.
00:21:19I haven't felt like that in a long time.
00:21:24You know, it's confusing.
00:21:27Emma, people stare.
00:21:30And sometimes it's because they're not used to seeing it,
00:21:32or maybe they think it's sweet.
00:21:36Or maybe they have a problem with it.
00:21:38But people look.
00:21:40And we carry on.
00:21:43Is this okay?
00:21:48If it is with you.
00:21:53The thing is, Jasmine,
00:21:54I like you.
00:21:58Quite a lot as it happens.
00:21:59And it feels strange because I feel like a kid again.
00:22:09I'm disorientated and...
00:22:13Oh, no, I've said too much and scared you into silence.
00:22:18No.
00:22:20I'm just savouring the moment.
00:22:21The woman I fancy just told me she feels the same way.
00:22:24Are you cold?
00:22:31Yeah, a little bit.
00:22:32Yeah.
00:22:35Favourite season?
00:22:37That would have to be early autumn.
00:22:40It's still quite mild.
00:22:42The colours on the trees are beautiful.
00:22:44But it has a sense of calmness about it.
00:22:48Yes.
00:22:49Summer, when we have one.
00:22:51Full of energy, excitement, fun.
00:22:55And barbecues.
00:22:56I love barbecues.
00:22:57My age really doesn't bother you.
00:23:03I don't know how else to say it.
00:23:07Age is just a number.
00:23:09But, I mean, that's all I've got.
00:23:10Oh, my God.
00:23:18Big proper kiss.
00:23:19Might go join them.
00:23:21Leroy.
00:23:22They obviously need a Mac.
00:23:23Yeah?
00:23:23And what use would you be then?
00:23:27I wouldn't be your first, right?
00:23:29No.
00:23:31No, you're not.
00:23:32There have been others.
00:23:34Well, one in particular.
00:23:37It didn't work out.
00:23:39Well, we can walk before we run, can't we?
00:23:46Yeah.
00:23:48Yeah, we can walk.
00:23:50Call me later?
00:23:51Yeah.
00:24:00Emma.
00:24:00Hey.
00:24:01Oh, hi.
00:24:02Do you want to join us for a nice lunch?
00:24:04Um, thanks.
00:24:05But, no, there's somewhere I need to be.
00:24:07See that?
00:24:08Look, Reid cannot wait.
00:24:09To get out of the establishment, we should follow suit.
00:24:11No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:24:11Come on, come on.
00:24:18Emma.
00:24:19Hi.
00:24:20Look, if you're tired, I can go.
00:24:22Oh, no, no.
00:24:23Come in.
00:24:24Really?
00:24:24Yes.
00:24:25Yes, come in.
00:24:26Okay.
00:24:26Thanks.
00:24:27Thanks.
00:24:27For you.
00:24:27Just a thank you for, well, a nice morning.
00:24:36Is that the only reason you came round?
00:24:39Well, you've seen my place, so I thought it's only fair if I see yours.
00:24:44Hi.
00:24:45Well, I'll make us a cup of tea.
00:24:46Great.
00:24:47So, did I pass the tea test?
00:24:55The tea test?
00:24:56Come on.
00:24:57We all judge someone on how well they make their tea, right?
00:25:00Yeah, well, I suppose I could give you a review, but, um, you don't really strike me as someone
00:25:06who cares what other people think.
00:25:09I care what you think.
00:25:12Okay.
00:25:14So, are you going to give me a tour of Chez Jasmine?
00:25:19Um, well, it's all pretty standard.
00:25:21I bet there's a few surprises.
00:25:24No, I think you'd be disappointed.
00:25:28Right, well, here we have Les sitting in the room.
00:25:32Mm-hmm.
00:25:33Under the stairs we have Les Toilettes.
00:25:36And then, uh, upstairs?
00:25:41Directly above us we have, um...
00:25:46Well, perhaps you'd like to see?
00:25:50Perhaps I'd like you to show me.
00:25:58Forget using tea as a judge of character.
00:26:04You okay?
00:26:05Yeah.
00:26:07What temperature have you got your heating on?
00:26:12It's off.
00:26:13It's all us, baby.
00:26:17Well, then we're sizzling.
00:26:21I'll, uh, I'll just be back in a sec.
00:26:24Okay.
00:26:24I'll just be back in a sec.
00:26:32My, my.
00:26:35I'm really glad you came over.
00:26:38Are you?
00:26:43Did you hear me?
00:26:47Emma, is everything okay?
00:26:48Oh, yeah.
00:26:50Oh, yeah.
00:26:51Everything's fine.
00:26:56There is only one thing I heard that could put that sort of smile on a girl's face.
00:27:01Oh, is it that obvious?
00:27:03Blindingly.
00:27:04I am telling you, on a scale of one to ten...
00:27:07It's fair with the lurid details.
00:27:09I get just jealous.
00:27:11How long's it been?
00:27:12A while.
00:27:13Not since, you know.
00:27:15Oh, yeah.
00:27:16Sorry.
00:27:17Anyway.
00:27:17La, la, la, la.
00:27:18La, la, la.
00:27:19Not listening.
00:27:20La, la, la, la, la, la.
00:27:30Please don't tell me you wanted to see me.
00:27:32Did you talk me through the next chapter of the Kama Sutra?
00:27:35No.
00:27:36Well, what is it then?
00:27:37Because I have to send these forms off before lunch.
00:27:39Come in.
00:27:41Oh.
00:27:45I feel a bit foolish.
00:27:47So, what's new?
00:27:54Has something happened?
00:27:56I think so.
00:27:59You think so?
00:28:02So, you know the feelings I've been having for Jasmine.
00:28:08I thought they were because she had unleashed some long-suppressed passion.
00:28:14And hasn't she?
00:28:15It's something else.
00:28:19Medical.
00:28:22Symptoms?
00:28:25Hot flushes.
00:28:27Fatigue.
00:28:29Mood swings.
00:28:30Well, you know what that is, don't you?
00:28:33Yes, I do.
00:28:36Irritability.
00:28:39It's hardly the end of the world.
00:28:41I know.
00:28:42And it should hardly have come as a surprise.
00:28:45Well, of course not.
00:28:46It's just the timing's not great.
00:28:48I'm worried it's going to interfere with your afternoons of passion with Jasmine.
00:28:52Well, loss of libido can be an issue.
00:28:54It didn't seem to be for you yesterday.
00:28:56And I certainly don't have any problems where that's concerned.
00:28:59Oh, of course, you sailed through your menopause, didn't you?
00:29:02That was different.
00:29:04I was unusually young.
00:29:05What am I, an old hag?
00:29:07Your words.
00:29:09You know the drill.
00:29:11A healthy diet, exercise, vitamin D supplements and cut down on alcohol.
00:29:15You're joking.
00:29:17No.
00:29:18Stiff drink is exactly what I need.
00:29:20Are you considering HRT?
00:29:22I'm not considering anything yet.
00:29:23Well, then what are you talking to me about, then?
00:29:25Well, I'd like a bit of sympathy, maybe.
00:29:27Oh, what?
00:29:28Hold your hand while you wallow in self-pity.
00:29:31You've come to the wrong person, I'm afraid.
00:29:32Well, clearly, because you are on full-on ice queen mode,
00:29:35so I shall just have to wallow alone.
00:29:37On reflection, I could perhaps have been a little more sympathetic
00:29:46to your current situation.
00:29:51Is that an apology?
00:29:53It's a cup of tea.
00:29:58How are you?
00:30:00Well, at the moment, I am coming to terms with the fact
00:30:03that my transcendental passion for jasmine
00:30:05turns out to be the dying pangs of my fertility.
00:30:10Not that you're catastrophising or anything.
00:30:13All right, a bit.
00:30:14Well, you said yourself that you had a great time yesterday.
00:30:17True.
00:30:18And you and I both know that the menopause
00:30:20can be a springboard to a whole new lease of life.
00:30:23So pull yourself together, keep smiling, and stay fabulous.
00:30:29Is that you being slightly more sympathetic?
00:30:31Yes.
00:30:32Can't you tell?
00:30:33Don't ever be a counsellor.
00:30:35Ever.
00:30:36Oh, hi, Valerie.
00:30:39Emma.
00:30:40Are we all dressing up tonight?
00:30:42What?
00:30:43Only, it's just, I thought we had a conversation yesterday
00:30:45where we all agreed to go dressed as movie icons.
00:30:48Only now I think I dreamt it.
00:30:50So, are you going in fancy dress?
00:30:52Fancy dress?
00:30:53No.
00:30:54Um, look, we just said that we were going to go smart casual,
00:30:57didn't we?
00:30:58Valerie, I have to go.
00:30:59Jasmine's here, and, well, Zara's just arrived in a taxi.
00:31:03All right, we'll see you there.
00:31:04Bye.
00:31:05I'm so happy.
00:31:09Where are you now?
00:31:10I met Emma's, but I can't get out of the cab yet, because they're snogging.
00:31:16So?
00:31:17I don't want to interrupt.
00:31:20Tell me, what's your ETA at the icon?
00:31:22Well, depends how long it takes them to come up for air.
00:31:26Oh, they look good together.
00:31:29Oh, someone sounds jealous.
00:31:30I am.
00:31:32Jasmine's stolen my wing woman.
00:31:34Who else am I supposed to make cutting comments with or not?
00:31:37Well, I could volunteer, if a wing man would do instead.
00:31:41I suppose that will have to do.
00:31:45Welcome, welcome.
00:31:46Grab yourselves a drink.
00:31:47You're going to need one, because Sydney has organised a silent disco.
00:31:52Oh, brilliant.
00:31:53Jasmine, this is Al.
00:31:55Al, Jasmine, it's his party.
00:31:56And I'll cry if I want to.
00:31:58Probably over the silent disco.
00:32:00Good to meet you.
00:32:01Where do we get the headphones?
00:32:02Over yonder.
00:32:03Enjoy.
00:32:05Right, drink up, everybody.
00:32:06The ale needs to go.
00:32:11Come on.
00:32:14You're kidding.
00:32:16Zara's the cute goatee boy.
00:32:18Mm-hmm.
00:32:19No wonder Daniel dumped her.
00:32:21Oh, well, it was a little bit more complicated than that.
00:32:24Don't you dare tell her that I told you.
00:32:26No, no, it's true.
00:32:30But how old is he, the goatee boy?
00:32:32Sid?
00:32:33Mm-hmm.
00:32:35Probably younger than you, if that's the way you're asking.
00:32:38Look, I'm just trying to make conversation.
00:32:41How many times do I have to tell you the age gap is not an issue for me?
00:32:45I'm sorry, it's just...
00:32:46It's just what?
00:32:48I'll look at you.
00:32:52No thanks.
00:32:53I'd much rather look at you.
00:33:00Okay, you are on.
00:33:05Everybody...
00:33:06I don't know who this is.
00:33:23Perry?
00:33:24Perry.
00:33:24Repeating it is not making it any clearer.
00:33:28Little Mix.
00:33:29Well, obviously I've heard of them, but I mean, I don't know their names individually.
00:33:32She's the one who went out with Zayn Malik from One Direction.
00:33:36How come you know that?
00:33:37Because I'm a sponge.
00:33:39You know, a trivia sponge.
00:33:41Soaking up interesting bits of information.
00:33:43Very cavalier use of the word interesting, Valerie.
00:33:46Well, look, forget Little Mix.
00:33:48Let's just go back to the Spice Girls.
00:33:50I mean, even you must know them.
00:33:52Oh, you know what?
00:33:52I think I need some air.
00:33:53Oh, no, you're not getting out of this that easy.
00:33:56No, no, really, Jasmine, I'm not...
00:33:57Oh, come on.
00:33:58Swing it, shake it, move it, make it...
00:34:00I'm not in the mood.
00:34:01Who do you think you are?
00:34:02Sick.
00:34:05Emma?
00:34:09Emma?
00:34:09What's wrong?
00:34:12Are you ill?
00:34:16Right, you're really worrying me now.
00:34:21I'm going to go get some help.
00:34:22No, don't.
00:34:28I'm not ill.
00:34:32I'm...
00:34:33menopausal.
00:34:36I'm going through the menopause.
00:34:38Oh.
00:34:38Oh.
00:34:40Oh.
00:34:41Yes.
00:34:42Gosh, I remember when my mum went through that.
00:34:44Oh, it seemed to go on forever.
00:34:46Not helping.
00:34:47I mean, she had a real nightmare.
00:34:48Yeah, again?
00:34:50I'm sorry.
00:34:51Oh.
00:34:51I'm sorry.
00:34:55So, I am not ill.
00:34:57But I am hot.
00:34:58I am anxious.
00:34:59I am confused.
00:35:01I am not sleeping at night.
00:35:03And I can't concentrate in the day.
00:35:04But I am not ill.
00:35:05I am simply menopausal.
00:35:09Going through the menopause.
00:35:10Which is just another bonus feature of being a woman that men don't have.
00:35:16You know what?
00:35:17I think it's best if you just leave me to it.
00:35:19Can't we at least talk about it?
00:35:20No, really, I'd rather you went.
00:35:24Please.
00:35:26Right.
00:35:26So, this is it then.
00:35:34You, me, my heart flushes and self-medication.
00:35:39Well, you might as well move in.
00:35:40Be like a couple of spinsters with cats.
00:35:43Sorry.
00:35:44No offense.
00:35:45You better not be talking about me.
00:35:47Why do men get to be bachelors?
00:35:50Women have to settle for sad old spinster.
00:35:52What difference does it make?
00:35:55We're all going to die alone.
00:35:58Oh, come on.
00:35:58It's not that bad.
00:35:59We may be pathetic, sad and lonely.
00:36:02But we do have our freedom.
00:36:05Yay for us.
00:36:07Tonight was supposed to be a celebration of friendship above everything else.
00:36:12Let's stop feeling sorry for ourselves.
00:36:14And they'd wish me one more day to stay.
00:36:20Enjoy.
00:36:22Be with you all.
00:36:27No need to ask how your weekend went.
00:36:31Anything from Jasmine?
00:36:33Just a few noncommittal texts.
00:36:35I'm struggling as how best to reply.
00:36:39There doesn't seem to be an emoji for menopause.
00:36:41Just put a sweat.
00:36:43Then chocolate.
00:36:44Then wine.
00:36:46Rage.
00:36:47Tears.
00:36:48And then chocolate again.
00:36:51Oh, come on.
00:36:52I just feel terrible.
00:36:54I mean, asking her to leave the party like that.
00:36:57It's not too late, surely.
00:36:59I should have learnt by now not to get my hopes up.
00:37:02I'm a relationship disaster zone.
00:37:11Lottie.
00:37:17Did you talk to Jasmine yet?
00:37:20What am I going to say?
00:37:22Well, you'll think of something.
00:37:23You can't let this go.
00:37:25Emma.
00:37:25Oh, look at the pair of us.
00:37:32Drinks tonight.
00:37:33Drown our sorrows.
00:37:35Lovely.
00:37:40Jasmine, hi.
00:37:41Hi.
00:37:43Is it OK if I wait?
00:37:44I wasn't sure what time Emma would be done.
00:37:47She's free now, actually.
00:37:48Why don't you come through this way?
00:37:49She's in room one.
00:37:51Thanks.
00:37:54Um, I also bought you this.
00:37:57Kim's highly recommended from my mum.
00:37:59Well, I, um, I love it.
00:38:08Listen, Jasmine.
00:38:09Look, if it's about Friday, I'm...
00:38:11I shouldn't have done a runner.
00:38:13I told you to go, and right after telling you that I'm going through the menopause.
00:38:19Look, I don't have a problem with that.
00:38:21I just didn't know how to put it in a text.
00:38:23So, here I am.
00:38:26Well, you certainly didn't need to bring me flowers.
00:38:29I was a cow.
00:38:31And I was a coward.
00:38:33So we're even, yeah?
00:38:34I couldn't stop thinking about you this weekend.
00:38:41I'm sorry.
00:38:43No.
00:38:44I can't stop thinking about you.
00:38:49Oh.
00:38:51Can we start over?
00:38:58Look.
00:39:00I've had some time to think, and, um...
00:39:04Are you sure you want to get into this with me?
00:39:09Yes.
00:39:11Absolutely.
00:39:12It's just, you know, a lot of women have a really tough time with menopause.
00:39:17You know?
00:39:18Low mood, low energy, non-existent sex drive.
00:39:24Way to go, Emma.
00:39:25Think positive.
00:39:28I mean, I've had some women have the complete opposite.
00:39:31They have a runaway libido.
00:39:33Or so my mum says.
00:39:35Can we please stop talking about your mum?
00:39:39Sorry.
00:39:39OK.
00:39:41Look, I don't care about that stuff.
00:39:46I care about you.
00:39:49And I know we have a connection.
00:39:52You feel it too, right?
00:39:53Yeah.
00:39:53Yeah.
00:40:00But...
00:40:00What about the future?
00:40:02Oh, forget about the future.
00:40:05Look, let's just spend some time together.
00:40:08Have fun, see what happens.
00:40:13What are you doing tonight?
00:40:15If I call ahead, we might be able to get a table up front, right by the karaoke band.
00:40:25There is absolutely no way I am singing.
00:40:28Oh, but we can do a duet.
00:40:30Islands in the stream.
00:40:31Hi.
00:40:39Hi.
00:40:39Hey.
00:40:40Hi.
00:40:41Perfect timing.
00:40:42Can I interest you in a cupcake?
00:40:45Oh, no thank you.
00:40:46We're going out.
00:40:47Thanks.
00:40:48You look frazzled.
00:40:50Oh, do I?
00:40:51Arrestingly undone.
00:40:52Oh, well, I'll take that.
00:40:54Shall we?
00:40:54Yeah.
00:40:55Bye.
00:40:55So, how was your morning?
00:40:59Yeah.
00:40:59Fascinating.
00:41:00Two interviews, one confession and many, many tears.
00:41:04Not yours, I hope.
00:41:05One very remorseful suspect.
00:41:08Well, at least I think he was sorry.
00:41:10Yeah.
00:41:11I'll pay myself, probably.
00:41:12Yeah, probably.
00:41:14DS Baines demolished his alibi.
00:41:17And then he tied himself in knots trying to explain away his lies.
00:41:20It was a masterclass in investigative interviewing.
00:41:23Hmm, seems like you're enjoying it.
00:41:25Yeah, I loved it.
00:41:27It's just a bit frustrating.
00:41:30I mean, shadowing's interesting, but I want to get stuck in.
00:41:34I really can't wait for my placement to start.
00:41:36I know, but you haven't got it yet.
00:41:39No, but I should hear any day now.
00:41:41I'd really love for DS Baines to be my mentor.
00:41:43Hmm.
00:41:44Just don't get your hopes up.
00:41:45Well, she's all for it.
00:41:47I know, but, you know, it's not just her decision, is it?
00:41:49No.
00:41:50Now, come on, let's go in.
00:41:51I'm starving.
00:41:53Thanks for lunch.
00:41:58You're welcome.
00:41:58Sorry if I droned on.
00:42:00No, not at all.
00:42:01Oh, no.
00:42:02Listen, if you're free at the weekend, we could...
00:42:05Oh, I'm moving.
00:42:06I had a bust-up with Camilla.
00:42:08Came home last night to find she'd moved the boyfriend in.
00:42:10Without telling you?
00:42:12Yeah, I should have seen it coming.
00:42:13He's been lurking for weeks.
00:42:15You know they're throwing a party tonight to celebrate.
00:42:17Great.
00:42:18Hmm.
00:42:18I expect his monumentally awful band will be butchering Blur again.
00:42:23You know, he's still like 90s Britpop.
00:42:25Look, you can always move in with me.
00:42:27I mean, you know I rent rooms, so...
00:42:29No, thanks for the invite.
00:42:32Staying as a guest, paying rent, it's a bit weird.
00:42:36Yeah.
00:42:36OK, fair enough.
00:42:38So what would you do?
00:42:39Go to my parents.
00:42:40Is that wild?
00:42:41It'll do until I can find something else.
00:42:43You know, you should come over for lunch next week.
00:42:46Oh.
00:42:48OK.
00:42:49It's a bit of a development.
00:42:51Meet the parents.
00:42:52I have to warn you, they are a little bit eccentric.
00:42:56I'm sure it's nothing I can't handle.
00:42:59So are we still on for lunch?
00:43:01Yeah, it'll just be mum, dad's busy.
00:43:04It's probably for the best.
00:43:05They are a bit much together.
00:43:06You sure you still want to come?
00:43:08Well, yes, you did invite me.
00:43:10Yeah, it must be out of my mind.
00:43:12Look, I deal with all sorts of people all of the time.
00:43:16I'm sure your mum will be fine.
00:43:18Famous last words.
00:43:20Listen, I better go.
00:43:21So I decided to make the most complicated lunch ever.
00:43:24Oh, yeah?
00:43:24What is it?
00:43:25Cheese on toast?
00:43:26Oh, seriously.
00:43:27I've got a list as long as my arm.
00:43:29Listen, by the way,
00:43:30have you heard anything about your placement yet?
00:43:33Er, no, nothing.
00:43:35Well, try not to stress about it.
00:43:37Yeah, OK.
00:43:38Bye.
00:43:40Oh, I can never find anything in this kitchen.
00:43:44Patience.
00:43:44Everything has its place.
00:43:47Trust the universe, darling,
00:43:49and it'll bring you everything you need.
00:43:51Right, well, I need cumin or my mjaddara as a non-starter.
00:43:54You know, I am going to buy you a spice rack for your birthday.
00:43:59Oh, thank you.
00:44:01At this rate, we'll be eating at midnight.
00:44:03I didn't realise you and this Emma were so serious.
00:44:06Yeah, well, we have been seeing each other for six weeks.
00:44:08So, why am I only meeting her now?
00:44:12Can't you guess?
00:44:13I've always been very accepting of all your girlfriends.
00:44:17So has Daddy.
00:44:18What, even the ones you scared off?
00:44:20Like Libby, the one Daddy flashed?
00:44:23He just got out of the shower.
00:44:25Oh, and normal people use towels.
00:44:27They don't air-dry.
00:44:28None of those girls was right for you.
00:44:32I can't eat any of this.
00:44:34Why not?
00:44:34My Ayurvedic nutritionist has me on a strict detox.
00:44:37I can only eat lentil soup and chickpeas.
00:44:39Oh, now you tell me.
00:44:40If you need me, I'll be meditating.
00:44:44Oh, cheese on toast would have been much easier.
00:44:52Doris, I presume?
00:44:53Emma, darling.
00:44:55Oh, call me Lotus.
00:44:57Oh, OK.
00:44:58How wonderful to meet you.
00:45:00Yes, likewise.
00:45:01Let me take your coat.
00:45:02Oh, OK, thank you.
00:45:05Have we met before?
00:45:07You look familiar.
00:45:08Uh, no, no, I don't think so.
00:45:11You really are substantially older.
00:45:14Jasmine's always had a thing for the slightly more mature.
00:45:17Well, I've still got my own teeth.
00:45:18But for lesbians, I suppose the pickings must be pretty slim,
00:45:21especially from a small town.
00:45:23Oh.
00:45:23I do find my queer friends are much more open
00:45:25to the idea of cross-generational relationships.
00:45:28Right.
00:45:28Is Jasmine around?
00:45:30Oh, yes, somewhere.
00:45:31Come along, I'll fix you one of my famous gin cocktails.
00:45:34Oh, good.
00:45:34Are you a fan of art?
00:45:35Um, yes.
00:45:36Who's your favourite painter?
00:45:37Um, this is my latest piece.
00:45:41Oh, wow.
00:45:42I've always been heavily influenced by de Koning.
00:45:45And Miro, of course.
00:45:48It's a child in the womb.
00:45:51Right.
00:45:52I wanted to represent the bond with the mother.
00:45:54First love, first friend.
00:45:56Um, I know someone who, um, who had a cat who could paint.
00:46:01So, that's my pathology, Dr. Emma.
00:46:05What's yours?
00:46:06Sorry?
00:46:07This relationship.
00:46:08Is it serious?
00:46:09Because Jasmine's been hurt before and I'm very protective of my cubs.
00:46:13Look, I have a son, so I do understand.
00:46:16Oh.
00:46:17So you're bisexual?
00:46:19Yes.
00:46:21Well, doubles your chance of a date, I suppose.
00:46:25Or you're just incapable of monogamy.
00:46:27I can assure you I am.
00:46:30And it's very serious with Jasmine, at least from my perspective.
00:46:35I'm still convinced we've met before.
00:46:37Probably at the mill.
00:46:39No, I'm not registered there.
00:46:40A previous life, maybe.
00:46:42Maybe.
00:46:43Lunch is served.
00:46:45Oh, what I've salvaged of it.
00:46:47I'll heat up my soup.
00:46:48Oh, she's, um, she's not eating with us.
00:46:51No, she's on a detox.
00:46:52Lentil soup and chickpeas.
00:46:54We want to be downwind of her.
00:46:58So how's it getting on?
00:47:00Well, she thinks that we may have met in a previous life.
00:47:06Well, I didn't know you could fry salad.
00:47:09I had to bin everything twice and start over, okay?
00:47:14You're very sexy when you're cross.
00:47:18I'm sexy, period.
00:47:20Lunch was loving.
00:47:21Oh, yeah, just wait for the toxicology report.
00:47:26I was, um, I was just complimenting your daughter on her culinary prowess.
00:47:31Yes, all my children are very talented.
00:47:33I wonder where they get it from.
00:47:36What does your son do?
00:47:37He's a nurse.
00:47:39In Australia.
00:47:40Oh, if Jasmine emigrated, I'd follow her to the ends of the earth.
00:47:43Stalker.
00:47:43We still have that umbilical connecting us.
00:47:46Remember what happened in Vietnam?
00:47:47Uh, yeah, I was backpacking and I got appendicitis.
00:47:52I woke up thousands of miles away with stomach cramps.
00:47:55It was total agony.
00:47:57It was just the cord slamming back into her.
00:48:00Umbilical whiplash.
00:48:01Oh, sorry, um, it's work.
00:48:07Uh, PC Dajani?
00:48:09Oh, hi, Sarge.
00:48:11Let's do some yoga.
00:48:14Oh.
00:48:14It empowers digestion.
00:48:16Well, I wouldn't recommend exercising on a full stomach.
00:48:19It's only yin yoga.
00:48:21Unless you have a problem with flexibility.
00:48:23I did struggle with that too during my menopause.
00:48:25I think you'll find I'm quite bendy enough.
00:48:27Uh, Lotus, I don't have any yoga clothes with me.
00:48:32Second pose is Simhasana.
00:48:34Are you familiar with it?
00:48:35Uh, my Sanskrit is a little rusty.
00:48:38Lion pose.
00:48:40Press your palms into your knees and splay the fingers.
00:48:44Like the sharpened claws of a lioness.
00:48:47The proud mother of a cub, perhaps.
00:48:51Inhale deeply.
00:48:52And on the exhale.
00:48:58And again.
00:49:03Once more.
00:49:09This posture's very good also for bad breath.
00:49:12The final posture is Ananda Balasana.
00:49:18Happy baby pose.
00:49:21What's going on?
00:49:22Don't interrupt, darling.
00:49:24I'm giving your girlfriend a lesson in yoga for digestive health.
00:49:26Well, hardly a lesson.
00:49:28I have done it before.
00:49:29Couldn't we have had peppermint tea?
00:49:30Shh.
00:49:31Right.
00:49:31Lie back.
00:49:33Slowly raise your legs in parallel.
00:49:37Flex the feet.
00:49:38Take hold of the big toes with the forefingers.
00:49:42And gradually draw your knees down towards the floor.
00:49:48This posture is particularly good if you have a flabby tummy.
00:49:51Which is very common during the menopause.
00:49:56That's where I've seen you before.
00:49:58The internet.
00:50:00Smears without fears.
00:50:02What's she on about?
00:50:04It was a campaign.
00:50:05You know, we did it at the mill and then it went online.
00:50:08Top tips to make your smear test more comfortable.
00:50:11Emma was the model.
00:50:12Or rather, her vagina was.
00:50:14Seriously?
00:50:15No, it wasn't like that.
00:50:16You know, it was very tasteful.
00:50:18You didn't see anything.
00:50:20It was a very brave thing to do.
00:50:21I'm not sure even I would be that open.
00:50:24Especially during the menopause.
00:50:25If she mentions the menopause one more time.
00:50:27I can recommend some fabulous tinctures.
00:50:29I found them invaluable, especially when I was feeling particularly dry.
00:50:33I'm sure Jasmine would find them useful too.
00:50:36Oh, I'm so sorry.
00:50:38But I am loving the new outfit.
00:50:40Oh.
00:50:41Say thanks to your mum for the tincture.
00:50:44Bye.
00:50:47Will I see you before the weekend?
00:50:49Probably not.
00:50:50Work's full on.
00:50:53You know, I was really hoping that call was from the DI.
00:50:56Hang in there.
00:50:57It'll happen.
00:50:59Text me later.
00:50:59You two look gorgeous together.
00:51:05Oh.
00:51:06Not over the hill, then.
00:51:07If you make my baby girl happy, then I approve.
00:51:12Besides, we're like old friends now.
00:51:15We're of a similar vintage.
00:51:16Less of the similar.
00:51:18Just promise me you won't hurt her.
00:51:20Mum, for goodness sake.
00:51:21Promise.
00:51:22I promise.
00:51:25Right.
00:51:26I'd better get going.
00:51:27I'm so sorry.
00:51:27It's nice to have met you.
00:51:29I'm sorry.
00:51:31Bye.
00:51:32Bye.
00:51:35God, Mum, you are unbelievable.
00:51:37You were my daughter and I wanted to make sure her intentions towards you were honourable.
00:51:41Seriously?
00:51:42Crazy.
00:51:44It was hilarious.
00:51:45I'm not a mother like that.
00:51:46I'm amazed Jasmine turned out to be so normal.
00:51:49Yes, me too.
00:51:50I mean, everything was up for discussion.
00:51:51And I mean everything.
00:51:54Oh, yes?
00:51:54Yes, yes, my age, my sexuality, my...
00:51:57What?
00:52:01Jasmine's mother recognised me from the Smears Without Fears video.
00:52:05No.
00:52:06Yes, and she didn't just mention it in passing, either.
00:52:09Poor Jasmine.
00:52:10Poor Jasmine?
00:52:11What about me?
00:52:12Oh, yes.
00:52:13Poor you, too.
00:52:14Anyway, I'm sure we'll have a good old laugh about it.
00:52:16If I see her...
00:52:19Really?
00:52:21Oh, well, she's just been really busy with work.
00:52:23I'm turning into a police widow.
00:52:26So?
00:52:27What is it serious, then?
00:52:29With me and Jasmine?
00:52:30Mm-hm.
00:52:32Maybe.
00:52:33Hannah, I'm so happy for you.
00:52:37Thanks.
00:52:37I do everything that's happened.
00:52:40Yes.
00:52:41Right, I'd better go out to the campus.
00:52:42I'll see you later.
00:52:43See you later.
00:52:45Hi.
00:52:45Hi, it's me.
00:52:46Listen, I just wanted to let you know that I've managed to book that Thai restaurant for tomorrow night.
00:52:49Oh, that's great.
00:52:51How'd you get us in there?
00:52:52Oh, you know, I have my ways.
00:52:54Everything all right?
00:52:55Yeah, I'm fine.
00:52:56A little bit of a complicated case.
00:52:58On the surface, it seems straightforward.
00:53:01We could get a result, but...
00:53:03You're worried it might be the wrong result?
00:53:05Yeah.
00:53:06What does Rob say?
00:53:07Leave it with CID.
00:53:08Play it by the book.
00:53:09Yeah, well...
00:53:10I'd listen to him.
00:53:11He's usually right.
00:53:12Mm-hm.
00:53:12Thanks, Emma.
00:53:14Oh, look, I've got to go.
00:53:15I'll see you tomorrow.
00:53:16Bye-bye.
00:53:17Have you heard back from the DI?
00:53:19No, not yet.
00:53:21Maybe I should give her a call.
00:53:22Word of advice.
00:53:24There's a fine line between keen and pushy.
00:53:27How about patience?
00:53:28No.
00:53:32Come on.
00:53:33Let's go home.
00:53:37All right!
00:53:38All right!
00:53:39All right, let's go home.
00:53:40Wow!
00:53:41Ring the bell if your girlfriend is hot.
00:53:46Come in.
00:53:47Stop being so daft.
00:53:49I'm not being daft.
00:53:50You look...
00:53:51Wow.
00:53:52Oh, thank you.
00:53:54If only I thought to buy you a gift.
00:53:58It's just a little something.
00:54:03It's not exactly Tiffany's, but after the experience with my mum.
00:54:08No, you shouldn't have.
00:54:11It's lovely.
00:54:13Oh, help me put it on.
00:54:14Oh, it's ever so sweet of you.
00:54:29Right, I have got some fizz on ice, so shall we?
00:54:33Do we have time?
00:54:33Yes, table's not booked till 7.15.
00:54:35Taxi is ordered, so you have it all under control.
00:54:39I'm impressed.
00:54:41Cheeky.
00:54:41I will have...
00:54:45Oh, I'll have the Bangkok sling, please.
00:54:49Um, the Mai Tai punch for me.
00:54:51Thanks.
00:54:54After a long week, this is so needed.
00:54:57You know, if I spent another moment in the house with my mum, the fasting way.
00:55:00Well, this weekend is going to just be about you and me,
00:55:04and we are going to make the most of it.
00:55:06Perfect.
00:55:07This one, is it?
00:55:08Yes, here we are.
00:55:09Right.
00:55:10This is the, uh, best table you've got, I hope.
00:55:14I did ask for the best table when I made the reservation.
00:55:16Derek, it's a table, and it's lovely.
00:55:19You all wouldn't dare if you could bring a bottle of champers ASAP.
00:55:23Celebrating our 35th anniversary.
00:55:26All commiserating.
00:55:27Depends on which one of us you ask.
00:55:29Oh, Derek, shush.
00:55:31Do you think it's too late to move?
00:55:33Oh, come on.
00:55:34Oh, she's been shushing my jokes, but...
00:55:38For a lifetime.
00:55:41But you keep telling them.
00:55:43Let them look, right?
00:55:55Please don't freeze me out.
00:55:57We can get through this if we stick together.
00:56:03Please, Emma.
00:56:05Emma, wait.
00:56:05I just...
00:56:06You're angry with me.
00:56:08What?
00:56:08You blame me.
00:56:10No.
00:56:10Then look at me.
00:56:16Are we going to be okay?
00:56:20No, wait a minute.
00:56:21I really want to take a picture of them.
00:56:23What, we could just drink them?
00:56:25Don't be a grouch.
00:56:25What are you going to do with a photo of two drinks?
00:56:29Okay, well, why don't we take one with us, innit?
00:56:33Sorry to interrupt.
00:56:34Hi.
00:56:35Do you mind taking our photo, please?
00:56:37Actually, miss, none of us are very good at taking photos.
00:56:41Oh, it's okay.
00:56:42Well, we're not very good at posing for them either.
00:56:44No, we'd just rather not.
00:56:47It's just a photo, Derek.
00:56:49No, no, it's all right.
00:56:51We'll get a waiter to take it.
00:56:54I think that's best.
00:56:56And why is that?
00:56:58Jasmine.
00:56:58No, I'd like to know what the real issue is.
00:57:04Do you need to see a doctor?
00:57:06No.
00:57:07I'm okay.
00:57:10You're not?
00:57:15I'm sorry.
00:57:17What for?
00:57:19I should have been able to handle this situation.
00:57:22I meant to be trained for this.
00:57:24I was, I was useless.
00:57:26I just, I froze.
00:57:28We both did.
00:57:32Did we provoke them?
00:57:34You mean apart from existing?
00:57:36Yeah.
00:57:40We need to report this to the police.
00:57:42We should have gone straight there.
00:57:44The sooner we report it, the quicker they can take some action.
00:57:49Right.
00:57:49Come on.
00:57:54What?
00:57:55It's just ironic.
00:57:58What is?
00:57:59That now you want to speak up.
00:58:01Come on, we can survive without a photo.
00:58:06Yeah, well, obviously, but it's not the photo that's the problem.
00:58:09It didn't mean anything.
00:58:11Look, I know we live in a modern world, but some of us like to remain traditional.
00:58:17That's all.
00:58:17We were asking you for a photo, not your approval.
00:58:21Okay, let's just enjoy our meals, shall we, and move on?
00:58:25That sounds sensible to me.
00:58:27Anything for my Viv?
00:58:29That's how we've survived 35 years as man and wife.
00:58:34She knows best.
00:58:36Come on.
00:58:37Let's just order some more cocktails and look us on having a good evening.
00:58:53Right.
00:58:55I feel it only fitting that I mark this occasion with a few words.
00:58:59Oh, Derek, don't.
00:59:00Yeah, don't worry.
00:59:01Till death do us part, Viv.
00:59:04Here's to us.
00:59:07Oh, Dave.
00:59:08Dave, take your photo.
00:59:10Hypocrites.
00:59:12Congratulations.
00:59:18You congratulated a man like that.
00:59:20What was I supposed to do?
00:59:22Don't give him the time of day.
00:59:25I was keeping the peace.
00:59:27You have to pick your battles.
00:59:30Oh, and are you the expert?
00:59:31Okay, we can talk about this when we get back from the stage.
00:59:34You know, I knew we should have moved tables.
00:59:37You develop a sixth sense for people like that.
00:59:40But most of your life has been living under the cover of heterosexuality, so...
00:59:45Oh, right, I see.
00:59:46Of course, because as a woman, I've never had to think about potential threats.
00:59:49Oh, well, add being a lesbian and Middle Eastern.
00:59:52Why are you making this a competition?
00:59:54To make you understand.
00:59:57I've been picking my battles for most of my life.
01:00:01If I speak up, will I be labelled a troublemaker, a snowflake?
01:00:06Will I be made out to be the problem?
01:00:08Right, I get it.
01:00:09No, you don't.
01:00:10Because you congratulated him.
01:00:12Look at me.
01:00:16Look at me.
01:00:18This happened to me.
01:00:24Us.
01:00:28Which is why we shouldn't be arguing.
01:00:32We should be at the station.
01:00:33No.
01:00:38What?
01:00:39I don't want to report this.
01:00:46Not quite the evening we were hoping for.
01:00:48You can say that.
01:00:49What an idiot.
01:00:50I know, but at least the food and the cocktails were good.
01:00:54Yeah, I mean, we should come back here again.
01:00:56Without the side order of homophobe.
01:00:57Nothing we could have said would have changed his mind.
01:01:00What, and that's OK, is it?
01:01:01Oh, of course it's not OK.
01:01:02Thanks.
01:01:03Excuse me.
01:01:06Sorry.
01:01:07I wanted to apologise if Derek offended you.
01:01:11He can be a bit tactless.
01:01:13His lack of tact wasn't the problem.
01:01:16He's a good man, really.
01:01:18He is.
01:01:20Bit of an idiot sometimes, but...
01:01:23Sorry.
01:01:24No, no.
01:01:24It's us who should apologise.
01:01:26Emma?
01:01:27Oh, really.
01:01:29We're just sorry that you have a husband you need to apologise for.
01:01:33Enjoy the rest of your night.
01:01:39Come on.
01:01:40Let's find somewhere where we can dance.
01:01:42Mmm, and definitely more drinks.
01:01:44Oh, yes.
01:01:45Lots more drinks.
01:01:46Hey!
01:01:47Hey!
01:01:48Hey!
01:01:48Hey!
01:01:48Hey!
01:01:50Hey!
01:02:04Hey!
01:02:05First, you're mad at me because I didn't speak up, and now you don't want me to.
01:02:19Let me explain.
01:02:20I'm all ears.
01:02:22I can't wait to hear why a police officer doesn't want to report a hate crime,
01:02:26particularly as the police have a zero-tolerance policy.
01:02:29From the moment I joined, I fought to be respected.
01:02:33I've worked hard to be good at my job.
01:02:35Then do the right thing. Report it.
01:02:37But then everyone will know.
01:02:40They'll know that I couldn't defend myself or protect you.
01:02:44You shouldn't have had to.
01:02:45I should.
01:02:47If there was some medical emergency and you'd froze and couldn't help,
01:02:50would that make you a good doctor?
01:02:53What would your colleagues say?
01:02:55Would you want them to know?
01:02:58You're being too hard on yourself.
01:03:00You think I should have done more, don't you?
01:03:05Now you're being unreasonable.
01:03:07Okay. Reason?
01:03:09One in five LGBTQ people experience a hate crime.
01:03:13Two in five for trans people.
01:03:15And while crimes are on the rise, prosecutions are on the decline.
01:03:19I could help those people, even if I couldn't help us.
01:03:23And what are the stats for unreported crimes?
01:03:25Emma, to make this okay, I need to do my job.
01:03:30For me, but for other people like us.
01:03:33I'm a protector.
01:03:35I am not a victim.
01:03:36This crime doesn't define you.
01:03:39Really?
01:03:40So when I'm up for promotion,
01:03:43you don't think they'll bring this into question?
01:03:44Hang on.
01:03:48Is this about you protecting people or about your ambition?
01:03:54They're the same thing.
01:03:57You think your career is more important
01:04:00than getting justice for what happened to us?
01:04:07Seriously?
01:04:08You are ridiculous, and so are those dancers.
01:04:15Oh, you know I've got the mood.
01:04:19Well, you might have had them, but you haven't got them anymore.
01:04:22Boy!
01:04:23Where to next?
01:04:25Well, we could find another bar.
01:04:28Or we could just go home.
01:04:30Okay, here's a taxi.
01:04:33What's that?
01:04:35Why is there never anyone you need one?
01:04:37Come on, let's walk to the rank.
01:04:42Hey, ladies, do you need a ride?
01:04:43No, that's a drive, are you?
01:04:45I'm old enough for plenty of things.
01:04:47Yeah, and we're interested in none of them, thanks.
01:04:50Oh, come on.
01:04:51At least let me watch.
01:04:52It's a definite no, all right?
01:04:54Back off.
01:04:55Chill out.
01:04:58Relax.
01:04:58Jasmine, this happened to us.
01:05:09And trying to sweep it under the carpet, for whatever reason, helps no one.
01:05:14You know that.
01:05:15You're scared.
01:05:18You're not thinking straight.
01:05:20I'm not scared.
01:05:21Really?
01:05:23I am.
01:05:26While they're still out there, I'm terrified.
01:05:30What if our paths cross again?
01:05:33Or they attack another couple, or a woman on her own.
01:05:36Only next time it's worse, but we could have done something.
01:05:38You say you want to protect people.
01:05:48Look, I'm exhausted.
01:05:50Can we just sleep on it?
01:05:51No.
01:05:52No, Jasmine.
01:05:55I can't sleep.
01:05:57Not while this is hanging over us.
01:06:01Please, Jasmine.
01:06:05Why did this have to happen to us?
01:06:08What do we do?
01:06:10Just ignore them.
01:06:12Tell me and I'll leave you alone.
01:06:14You know I can't.
01:06:15Jasmine.
01:06:20I'm talking to you.
01:06:22Yeah.
01:06:24Whoa!
01:06:38Jasmine.
01:06:56Jasmine.
01:07:02Jasmine.
01:07:03Jasmine.
01:07:03Jasmine.
01:07:04Jasmine, call the police.
01:07:06Are you all right?
01:07:08Please, just take me home.
01:07:09Just take me home, please.
01:07:11I'm OK.
01:07:12Was it a full moon tonight?
01:07:15Did it bring out all the homophobes?
01:07:28We have to go to the police.
01:07:31Now.
01:07:31Have you not been listening to me?
01:07:40I can still smell his aftershave.
01:07:44The man who hated us enough to do this.
01:07:50Who felt he should or could attack us just because we're gay.
01:07:58We have to show that we won't stand for it.
01:08:01And this is how.
01:08:06So regardless of my feelings, you're going to make a report.
01:08:11And if you do this...
01:08:12No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
01:08:16You don't get to give me an ultimatum.
01:08:18You have the choice.
01:08:27We either report this together...
01:08:29Or I will do it alone.
01:08:33I would agree.
01:08:34Let's do it alone.
01:08:39Do it alone.
01:08:55Bye.
01:08:56Honestly, why do people bother with these NHS discussion forums?
01:09:15They've got nothing better to do with their lives.
01:09:17I mean, I personally somehow managed to find the time
01:09:20to release my best mate from the claws of injustice.
01:09:23What? Yes, whatever.
01:09:27Have you heard from Emma?
01:09:29Why would I?
01:09:30She hasn't returned my call since Friday.
01:09:33Perhaps she has managed to find herself a social life,
01:09:36something that you should consider.
01:09:40You don't have to be here if you need some more time.
01:09:43I just want to get on with my job.
01:09:46How's Emma?
01:09:47Can we just get this over with?
01:09:49Well, I've read your witness statement
01:09:54and Emma did the right thing reporting it.
01:09:56So did you.
01:09:58You've done nothing wrong.
01:10:00You're the victim and that's nothing to be ashamed of.
01:10:04And I've also read your occupational health medical report.
01:10:07And they both say I'm fine to work?
01:10:08Yes, they do if that's what you want, but not on the streets.
01:10:11What?
01:10:11Not with those injuries.
01:10:12But I'm fine.
01:10:13You don't look it.
01:10:16I can't send an officer out there who looks like she's...
01:10:20What, she's been beaten up?
01:10:22Yeah.
01:10:24Sorry.
01:10:26So if you do want to work, that's fine,
01:10:28but it's office duties for now.
01:10:30You can use my desk.
01:10:32So you can keep an eye on me?
01:10:34You haven't heard anything more from Emma?
01:10:45No, nothing.
01:10:47Do I need to call her?
01:10:50No.
01:10:51No.
01:10:52I might pop round at lunchtime, just make sure she's OK.
01:10:55Sure.
01:10:56Send her our best wishes.
01:10:57Of course.
01:10:58Yes.
01:11:04What?
01:11:10Is there a problem?
01:11:11Is there a problem?
01:11:40Why didn't you call me?
01:11:55You know I'd have been here in a moment.
01:11:58I know you would.
01:12:00That's why I didn't call.
01:12:01Are you going to tell me what happened?
01:12:12No.
01:12:17But...
01:12:18Was it an accident?
01:12:21No.
01:12:21You look awful.
01:12:30Sorry.
01:12:32You know that's not what I meant.
01:12:39It wasn't an accident, Taro.
01:12:41It was deliberate.
01:12:46Very deliberate.
01:12:52And very personal.
01:12:57It's disgusting.
01:12:59I thought that sort of thing was gone for good.
01:13:01It never goes away, because we let it stay.
01:13:04You make it sound as though homophobia is suddenly acceptable.
01:13:07No, not suddenly.
01:13:09And I didn't say acceptable.
01:13:10It's just that it's not taboo anymore, is it?
01:13:13You know, people have been given permission to act on their hatred and their prejudice.
01:13:18You are so brave to report this.
01:13:22Maybe.
01:13:23Definitely.
01:13:25Jasmine hates me for it.
01:13:26What?
01:13:27Why?
01:13:27She didn't want anyone at work to know, and I reported it, so...
01:13:32She'll understand.
01:13:34Really?
01:13:36She's not talking to me.
01:13:39She was dragged into occupational health, and she is furious.
01:13:47I think I've lost Zara.
01:13:49No.
01:13:50No.
01:13:50No.
01:13:51No.
01:13:57I'm not a victim.
01:14:04Technically, you are.
01:14:04I'm not.
01:14:06And if I take that, that's how I'll be treated.
01:14:08By you, by everybody out there, by the D.I.
01:14:10She will understand, because what happened to you wasn't your fault.
01:14:13It was nothing, okay?
01:14:15Nothing I can't handle.
01:14:16The CID need to know that.
01:14:19Otherwise, they're just going to fob me off all over again.
01:14:22Look, I'll do your filing, your rotas, whatever paperwork you want me to do,
01:14:26but I am not going home.
01:14:29And when you think I'm more presentable,
01:14:32then I'll be back out there on the streets.
01:14:35Look, I've been beaten up, humiliated,
01:14:38but I refuse to be the victim, all right?
01:14:42And you don't get to humiliate me all over again.
01:14:47Hmm.
01:14:47A word of advice, and forget about getting back out on the streets for a minute.
01:15:00If you want to get on in this building,
01:15:05then you need to watch your tone, constable.
01:15:09Don't you forget that I can have a word with Occupational Health,
01:15:12and I can recommend to them that you need some quiet recovery time at home.
01:15:16Do you understand?
01:15:20Yes, Sarge.
01:15:29Emma.
01:15:31Zara, can you tell Bear that I'm still sick, please?
01:15:34Okay.
01:15:35How are you doing?
01:15:36I'm on my way to an appointment that victims support.
01:15:43Well, that's positive.
01:15:46Maybe.
01:15:47I hope so.
01:15:49Dare I ask, House Jasmine?
01:15:52Look, you know that you can talk to me any time.
01:15:56Yeah, I know.
01:15:58Look, I'd better go.
01:15:59I'll talk to you later, yeah?
01:16:01Take care.
01:16:02Bye.
01:16:03I keep asking myself,
01:16:07what would I say if this had happened to a patient of mine?
01:16:15What would I say to them?
01:16:19And I'd say,
01:16:21you were a victim of a hate crime.
01:16:24You were attacked because you were on a date
01:16:29with another woman and seen kissing.
01:16:36Just kissing.
01:16:38In public.
01:16:39And I'd say what happened is wrong.
01:16:47And it is wrong.
01:16:49I'd say it was unfair.
01:16:51And it is unfair.
01:16:53And I'd say that they were completely justified
01:16:56in feeling scared and angry.
01:16:59And I am.
01:17:00I am so scared and angry.
01:17:03But as much as anything,
01:17:08I'm angry with Jasmine.
01:17:12I'm furious with her.
01:17:17We've hardly spoken
01:17:18since it happened.
01:17:21And then maybe we were never really going anywhere.
01:17:28I don't know.
01:17:28But it had...
01:17:32She had started to mean something.
01:17:37And now...
01:17:40Now I...
01:17:44I don't even know who she is.
01:17:47Hey.
01:17:57Hey.
01:17:58Sorry I never reply to your text.
01:18:04It's okay.
01:18:05It's given me a chance to think.
01:18:09That sounds a bit ominous.
01:18:10Um...
01:18:14I'm sorry.
01:18:19And I love you.
01:18:23Jasmine.
01:18:27They're lovely.
01:18:30I spoke to the DI this morning.
01:18:33She said the attraction affected my CID application.
01:18:36Oh.
01:18:37Well, that's good.
01:18:41I'm glad.
01:18:44You don't seem glad.
01:18:46Let's go inside.
01:18:50Please don't say we need to talk.
01:18:59Please, please don't do this.
01:19:01We never really talked about a future together.
01:19:04That doesn't mean I don't think we have one.
01:19:08Look, this is just a reaction to the attack.
01:19:10We were having a good time before this, weren't we?
01:19:13Yes, we were.
01:19:14But it's not about the attack.
01:19:16I just think we want different things.
01:19:18So we can compromise.
01:19:20Not on the big things.
01:19:21The things that really matter.
01:19:23I mean, for example, do you want children?
01:19:27Not right now, but at some point, yeah.
01:19:30Yeah.
01:19:30Well, I've had mine.
01:19:34And if you want children, then it can't be with me.
01:19:40You're breaking up with me.
01:19:43Oh, I can't believe...
01:19:44You're actually breaking up with me.
01:19:48I don't want to, really.
01:19:49I don't.
01:19:52But we want different things, and I don't know what else to do.
01:19:55You're trying to make this about something that it's not.
01:20:02No, it's because we want different things.
01:20:04Oh, rubbish.
01:20:05It's because I didn't do anything when those thugs attacked us.
01:20:08No, it's not about that.
01:20:10Although you didn't do anything after the attack,
01:20:12and that's what really gets me.
01:20:13I mean, anyone can freeze in the moment.
01:20:15I don't blame you for that.
01:20:16Then what do you blame me for?
01:20:18We're not wanting to report it.
01:20:20You're always going on at me about thinking more about LGBT issues.
01:20:25LGBTQ+.
01:20:26And yet, when it might affect your career,
01:20:28oh, then you want to play it down.
01:20:30That's not fair.
01:20:31I mean, what does that say about your integrity?
01:20:33Never mind anything else.
01:20:35Emma, I thought you were more principled than that.
01:20:39Look, I don't want to be the lesbian cop.
01:20:43I mean, it's bad enough being the Middle Eastern cop.
01:20:46I am sick of being put in diversity boxes.
01:20:48Then don't allow people to label you.
01:20:51I never do.
01:20:52I don't allow people.
01:20:54I get labelled whether I like it or not.
01:20:58I'm sorry.
01:20:59I didn't mean to belittle your experience.
01:21:02But you did.
01:21:04And I'm sorry.
01:21:07I heard you the first time.
01:21:12Please don't hate me.
01:21:13Please don't dump me.
01:21:35Jasmine.
01:21:36Are you sure?
01:21:45Are you really, really sure?
01:21:49I'm coming off as a little bit desperate here.
01:21:52Maybe just a little bit.
01:21:56Look, Jasmine.
01:21:56And for what it's worth,
01:22:00for the best thing that's happened to me in a very long time.
01:22:05I'm so sorry.
01:22:06I'm so sorry.
01:22:16I do.
01:22:17I'm so sorry.
01:22:18I'm so sorry.
01:22:19I'm so sorry.
01:22:20I'm so sorry.
01:22:21I'm so sorry.
01:22:22I'm so sorry.
01:22:22I'm so sorry.
01:22:23I'm so sorry.
01:22:23I'm so sorry.
01:22:24I'm so sorry.
01:22:24I'm so sorry.
01:22:24I'm so sorry.
01:22:25I'm so sorry.
01:22:26I'm so sorry.
01:22:26I'm so sorry.
01:22:27I'm so sorry.
01:22:27I'm so sorry.
01:22:28I'm so sorry.
01:22:28I'm so sorry.
01:22:29I'm so sorry.
01:22:30I'm so sorry.
01:22:31I'm so sorry.
01:22:32I'm so sorry.
01:22:33I'm so sorry.
01:22:34I'm so sorry.
01:22:35I'm so sorry.
01:22:36I'm so sorry.
01:22:37I'm so sorry.
01:22:38I'm so sorry.
01:22:39I'm so sorry.
01:22:40I'm so sorry.
