Personally or professionally? Personally or professionally? < Both. Well, how can that work when you don't trust me? Well, how can that work when you don't trust me? I do trust you. Enough for you to be open with me? Enough for you to be open with me? Yeah, I will be. Enough for you to be open with me? Yeah, I will be. And you will respect my authority? You see, you're resisting again. You see, you're resisting again. No, I'm` I'm not. Really. You like to play games, don't you? Hmm? Power games. If this is about the medication` If this is about the medication` That's one issue. The other is men. There's only been one. There's only been one. That I know of. There's only been one. That I know of. It's true. If you come back to me, there are rules that we need to agree on. You will accept my authority, and you will not keep secrets from me. Now... Now... I don't think I wanna do this. Now... I don't think I wanna do this. Do you? You know you do. I just wanted to talk. You know what you are. You're a cock tease. That's what you are, and you need to learn. This is what you came here for, isn't it? This is what you came here for, isn't it? No! I'm sorry if you got that idea. Not my idea, yours. You're totally screwed up, you know that? (STARTS CAR) Oh, sweetheart. (SOBS) I'm such a fool, you know. You're not. Not at all. I thought I was in control, but I wasn't at all. And I lied to you. And I lied to you. It doesn't matter. I knew you didn't approve, so you were right. Look, you were really fragile when you started seeing him. He took advantage of that. He abused your trust. No, I made the first move. I really really fancied him. No, that's not the point. He is not allowed to act on that. If he's even aware of it, he's meant to report it to his supervisor and refer you to another doctor. So, I thought he cared about me. It's so weird. The way that he was looking at me and talking to me, as if he was getting off on it. Listen to me, none of this` none of it is your fault. I'm not a victim. I'm not a victim. I know that. I'm not a victim. I know that. Oh God, I'm such a mess. I can stay the night. I can stay the night. Oh, it's OK. I can stay the night. Oh, it's OK. It's fine. You're always doing things for me. You're always doing things for me. I care about you. And what he's done ` you have grounds for a complaint. Oh, I don't know. I don't` I don't even want to think about that. OK, no, that's fine, but if he contacts you, you hang up. Do not speak to him. Do not go anywhere near him. I wouldn't. I wouldn't. Can we agree on this one thing? You are not his patient any more. God, no. God, no. And anything else, I will deal with for now. Is that OK? Is that OK? Yeah, sure. Thanks, babe. Thanks, babe. Oh God. And then after all that, he has sex with her. And then after all that, he has sex with her. Jesus. That sounds like rape. That sounds like rape. That is exactly what it was. Is she OK? Is she OK? She blames herself. I'm kicking myself for not being more on to it. You did try. What I hate is when I talked to him, and he denied it, and said she was delusional ` I almost believed him. I almost believed him. Hey, you tried. Can you call the cops? I don't think that would work. Michelle wouldn't like it, and she's fragile enough as it is. What a prick. Aw, I'm gonna miss you, my little peanut. Yes, I will. Yes, I will. Well, you won't miss all of this. Who knew it took 10 shops of stuff to look after one little bubba? Yeah. Yeah. Hey, I really hope I didn't drive you out. No, you've been amazing. No, you've been amazing. And you're sure about all of this? No, you've been amazing. And you're sure about all of this? I think it's best for everyone. Actually, I was thinking I might get Lydia to move in. Wow, really? I never thought I'd take the plunge again, but I really like her, eh? I never thought I'd take the plunge again, but I really like her, eh? I'm really pleased for you. What's going on here, then? What's going on here, then? Last chance to turn your girlfriend, Brian. I thought I'd better take it. Good on ya. Travelling light, that's the story (!)

Who is it? Police. Could we have a word, please? Are you Michelle Hardcastle? Are you Michelle Hardcastle? Yeah, that's right. Would you mind telling us where you've been tonight? No where. At home. No where. At home. Can anyone vouch for that? No where. At home. Can anyone vouch for that? Just my dogs. What's this about? You weren't anywhere near Bolton Rd this evening? You weren't anywhere near Bolton Rd this evening? No. Why? We've had a complaint that you vandalised a car. It was the vehicle belonging to your doctor. I didn't. We'd like you to come into the station. We'd like you to come into the station. Sorry, there's been a mistake. We can't leave you here, ma'am. There are concerns for your safety. You know you don't have to do this. Thanks, Melissa. You can wait outside. I'm sure I'll be safe. What are you doing here? I'm concerned for your well-being, especially after tonight's events. I haven't done anything. I haven't done anything. Oh, come on. I saw you. > I never touched your car. I never touched your car. You smashed the windscreen. I was there when it happened. You bastard. Well, I didn't want to involve the authorities, but I felt like I had no choice. Oh, this is bullshit. Oh, this is bullshit. Sit down. You're an unstable psychiatric patient with a history of self-harm and violence, and I'm a psychiatrist who regularly deals with the police. If you think they're gonna believe... But I could withdraw the complaints, smooth things over. The cops prefer not to deal with the mentally unstable. > Why are you doing this? Why are you doing this? To prevent you from doing any more damage. What are you talking about? What are you talking about? Call your friend off. What friend? What friend? The GP. She requested your notes. Yeah, because I'm her patient. Yeah, because I'm her patient. Is that all? Yeah, because I'm her patient. Is that all? Yes. Cos if anyone wanted to make accusations, that would be very unwise. I just talked to her. I just talked to her. And told her what? About what happened between us. About what happened between us. Nothing happened. Is that clear? That's what you tell Dr Duvall, and we move on. And if I don't? And if I don't? Were this sort of trouble would happen again, I'd have no choice but to get you sectioned. > For your own good. And I take my professional obligations very seriously. So are we clear about the different ways that this could play out? Yep. Yep. Glad to hear it. Captions by Brittany Stewart.
