I say, this is...

Thought you'd like it.

Like it?

It's magnificent.

This means a lot,
siegfried, thank you.

Yes, Tristan.

Happy birthday.

Yes, happy birthday, tris.

Right, more tea.

Oh, I've one more
present far you.

You're giving me my own list?

I am, I've decided it's time

to let you stand on
your own two feet.

Right.

So I'll be going out on my own?

Well, to all intents
and purposes,

I thought James could
come along just in case,

but it'll be your show,

that is, if you think
you can handle it.

- Oh yes, yes, absolutely.
- Excellent.

[{Teaspoon tapping]

Hang on, does that
say sebright Saunders?

Are you sending
me to the estate?

Hm-mm, they've a number of
horses need tooth filing.

They're valuable animals too,

so make sure you've got
your wits about you.

Of course.

That bag won't be
much use to you empty.

Right.

Make sure you take
a decent brass.

- Will do.
- And a spare.

Tristan.

Did you hear me?

Tristan.

Good evening with Helen, was it?

It was, thanks.

I'm glad.

She's a smashing lass.

Have you had a chance to
talk over Glasgow with her'?

Not yet.

I know, I'll do it today.

Candy's in foal, so I said
I'd go up and take a look.

I'll tell her
about the job then.

Are you sure you've
got tweezers?

Yes. —both sizes?

Yes and yes, I actually
do know what I'm doing.

Stop your fussing, you'll
make him nervous, here.

- Jv'ery smart.
- Every inch the professional.

Yes, well, come on, don't
want to keep them waiting.

So will Mrs. Brompton be
joining us at the drovers

for birthday drinks?

I think she's planning
to drop in briefly.

Hope you've told her to come
before things get too rowdy.

It's just a few drinks.

Please try not to get
completely legless.

Yep, I can assure you,

I'm planning a very
civilized evening.

Oh, yes?

It's not like I'm a student
anymore, things have changed.

In fact, I was half
wondering if a little dinner

might be more appropriate.
—oh, aye?

I mean, it wouldn't have
to be anything fancy,

but if it's too much trouble.

Birthday dinner for six at
less than a day's notice?

No, no, you're right,
it's a stupid idea.

I'm sure I can
rustle something up.

Oh, Mrs. H., you're
an absolute star.

That's one word for it.

And actually if you could
make it dinner for seven.

Oh, for the love of god.

Well, I just thought I might
want to invite a guest.

And who exactly might
you want to invite?

I don't know yet, but
the day is still young.

Good luck, Tristan.

Doesn't need luck, he
just needs to concentrate.

Right, cheerio!

He'll be fine.

Course he will.

Right, so when we
get to the estate,

I'll just introduce
myself and explain

that I'll be dealing
with the horses today.

I'm fairly sure they
know who you are, tris.

You've been coming out to
the farms half of your life.

Yes, as siegfried's
little brother maybe,

but now I'm here as a vet,

it's a whole different
kettle of fish.

You're going to do fine.

You know what he's
doing, don't you?

He's basically
setting me up to fail.

I don't think that's true.

Giving me this big, new chance,

but he's just waiting
for me to mess it up.

Where's farnon?

Right here.

You what?

Tristan farnon, Mr. Monkham,

siegfried's brother and
fully qualified vet.

I'll be taking care of
the tooth rasping today.

Mr. Famon always sees
to horses himself.

Well, he's asked me to
deputize on this occasion.

Oh, aye, your brother's a
fine vet, knows what's what.

What are you, brand new?

I can assure you, my brother
wouldn't have sent me,

if he didn't have complete
faith in my abilities.

Oh, aye, what are
you gonna be doing?

I'm just here to observe.

Right, well, I
can't say I like it,

but I haven't got all day,
so let's see what you've got.

This way.

- You wanted this?
- Please.

Poor Bonnie here
had quite a sizeable iipomar

on her rib cage.

Oh.

Benign, but still
an ugly, great mass.

Luckily I was able to remove
it with remarkable ease.

Let's just lay her
down on that blanket,

while she comes around.

Might take an hour or so.

That's the ticket.

There we are.

Yes, very nice, though
I say so myself.

Should hardly leave a scar.

Should she be doing that?

Oh, it's nothing to wow about,

happens to some animals
after anesthetic.

It's just barbiturates
leaving the system.

Well, I'm off to the butchers.

If I can get a
decent enough joint,

I might try my hand
at a beef Wellington.

Goodness, that's
rather elaborate.

Well, I don't want
your young ladies

thinking we don't
know how to entertain.

I assume Mrs. Brompton's
still joining us?

Yes, yes, she was delighted
with the invitation.

Well, isn't that nice?

- What about you, Mrs. Hall?
- Sorry?

Well, it occurs to me
we've all got guests,

so perhaps you might
like to invite someone,

to you know, make
up the numbers?

Well, I'd be lucky if I
can find a joint for seven,

any more would be the parable
of the loaves and fishes.

Right, well, as I'm done,
I think I'll head out too

and see how tris is getting on.

You said he needs to stand on
his own two feet, so let him.

Just don't let him rattle you.

Absolutely.

Just focus on the job in hand.

Who's that?

Oh yes, miss margot
sebright Saunders.

Might she be a
suitable candidate?

Rather out of my league, I fear.

Margot's generally
squired by minor gentry.

You're a man of means now,
a respectable professional,

she might see you in
a whole new light.

[{Background people chattering]

See, you don't want to miss
out for a lack of confidence.

No, you may have a point.

Nothing ventured.

It certainly worked
for you and Helen.

Well, it's early days, I
still have time to mess it up.

You too coming?

There's another two need
doing across the yard.

Right, let's take
a look, shall we?

Hope he's not a kicker.

Right, here we go, good lad.

Ah, yes.

I can see there's quite
a sharp point just here,

should be able to
file that off nicely.

If you could just
hold him steady.

- Monkham.
- Yes, miss margot.

I want to ride out to
sennor woods this afternoon,

will you see that
my horse is ready?

Yes, miss.

Gosh, are you an actual
vet now, Tristan?

That's right, Tristan
Sebastian famon,

mrcvs at your service.

Well, well done, you.

Yes, I've got all
the credentials and

and...

Wonderful, I'm just
going up to the house,

but I'll be back
here after lunch.

Yes, miss.

Aye, I'll let you get on then.

Jolly good.

You're doing grand.

Easy boy!

Come on...

What's going on out there?

- That'll be Satan.
- Oh, yes?

Aye, he's another
that needs rasping.

Oh, what can ail
thee, dog at arms?

Alone and palely loitering.

It's nothing physical
that I can see.

Perhaps you don't like being
by yourself, is that it?

Perhaps you could
play with Jess.

Are you sure she's not
sickening for something?

Not in the least, she's
perfectly healthy.

Probably just wants
a bit of company.

Well, where are you off to?

Ah, I found a spare
rasp for Tristan.

He'll be almost done, won't he?

Still, better safe than sorry.

- If you'd rather I took over?
- No.

No, of course not.

In for a penny.

At least he seems
to have calmed down.

For now.

Right, let's take a look at
your teeth then, shall we?

[{Dramatic orchestral music]

[{Light orchestral music]

That's it, that's it,
old fella, come on.

Nothing to worry
about, that's it.

Oh!

Are you alright, tris?

- Did he get you?
- It's fine.

He barely made contact.

Hm-mm.

He nearly broke my
kneecap, seriously, Jim,

I thought I was going to
pass out at one point.

You should've let me take over.

Oh, siegfried would love that,

"a man doesn't stop work,
because of a bruise.

Cuts and scrapes come
with the territory.

A good vet never
puts his own comfort

before that of the animal."

Got you a good one, did he?

Ah, yes, yes, it seems he did.

Aye.

Evil bugger.

Well, he seems positively
delighted by the whole thing.

They like to feel they're
getting their money's worth.

What, so the more pain
and suffering the better?

That's dales folk for you,
they're a sadistic bunch.

[{Rain pouring]

Oh, I say, Mrs. H.,
this smells marvelous.

It really does.

Yes, well, it's just
bread and cheese for now.

So hands off.

You really didn't need
to do all of this.

Your birthday only comes
around once a year,

just eat up and then you can
get out from under my feet.

Siegfried not around?

Ah, no, he, er, he went out.

Out where?

I think he, er, was hoping
to catch up with you.

Something about a spare rasp.

Seriously?

So he said.

Unbelievable!

He went to check up
on me, didn't he?

My apologies, Mrs. Hall.

You're alright,
lunch is cold anyway.

Jolly good.

I heard we missed
you at the estate.

Oh yes, no matter, just had
a quick chat with monkham.

So what did Mr. Monkham
have to say then?

Not a great deal.

He did say you should learn
to move a bit quicker,

you wanna watch yourself
with those stallions.

Yes, I know.

Nothing else?

Should there have been?

No, no, not at all.

I'll get it.

You know, I've been
giving some thought

to those suggestions you
made about the improvements.

Oh yes?

We should sit down and start
making some plans together.

That'd be great,
thank you, siegfried.

It's all down to money, of
course, but I think it's time.

That was dobson, his
heifer's in labor,

but it's not progressing.

I said we'd head
over to lend a hand.

Rig hto!

James, weren't you going to
check on the alderson's mare?

I was, but it's nothing
that can't wait.

- I can run by tomorrow.
- No, no, you should go

this afternoon, we mustn't
let the aldersons down.

Tristan can manage at
dobson's, can't you?

Yes, Yes,
it shouldn't be a problem.

Well, that's settled then.

Except how will I get there?

You'll have to take the rover.

Oh, I think I'd probably
be better in the vauxhall.

James will need the vauxhall.

But still, the rover,
it's your pride and joy.

I can easily walk over
to see hardwick's ewe,

besides it'll go
with the new bag.

Now, just mind the
steering on the bends.

Shut up.

- I'm sure you can handle it.
- Right.

See you later.

Is this a good idea?

He's a perfectly good driver.

Well, there's a lot to take on,

he's not done a calfing
on his own before.

Well, he's got to
do one sometime,

sink or swim, Mrs. Hall,
it's the nature of the beast.

It doesn't mean you
have to push him

straight in at the deep end.

I'm sure he'll be fine.

James, when you're
done at the alderson's,

perhaps you could call by and
see how tris is getting on.

Wrong way.

That might not be a bad idea.

Oh, and I hope it
goes well with Helen.

- Oh, hello again.
- Hello.

Just on my way to my next call,

thought I'd stop and
see how he's getting on.

I took extra special
care with his teeth.

Thanks.

Is that your car?

Isn't she a beauty?

It's very smart.

Well, I'd best not
keep this one waiting.

It's my birthday today.

Is it really? Well,
many happy returns.

Yes, well, I mean, I don't make
a big thing of them as a rule,

but I am actually
having a small party,

well, more of a
dinner, a dinner party.

Just a few close friends,
Helen alderson will be there,

if you happen to be free?

I haven't seen Helen
in an absolute age.

I'm sure she'd be
thrilled to see you.

So what do you say?

Alright then, I'll
see you this evening.

?:30 or eight or just,
you know, come whenever.

See you.

Thank the lord.

For the love of.

What's wrong with
you, you daft apeth?

Ey, hm?

Oh, come on.

Not nice always being
on your own, is it, hm?

Come on, but you so much as
sniff at my beef Wellington,

Mr. Dobson, I got here
as fast as I could.

Oh, aye?

You did the right thing calling.

Has there been any progress?

Well, no, not so you'd notice.

Then I shall begin with
a thorough examination.

I'm afraid these things
aren't always as simple

as they appear,
I'll lead the way, shall I?

Very good, nice and steady.

I'll just check her.

Such efficiency.

We aim to please.

Right.

She's alright then?

Well, she's a way
to go, but yes,

mother and foal are both
coming along very nicely.

Heart rate and,

temperature, all fine.

In a few months' time, you'll
have your very own pony.

Lucky girl. Candy was our mam's.

Yeah, sort of like
the next generation.

- I see.
- Besides it's just practical,

it takes forever to
walk up the top field.

Course if you'd let
me drive the tractor.

Yeah, well, maybes
when your feet

reach the pedals, you can.

Dad, I've been
tall enough for months

and you know it.

Aye, annoyingly
enough, you're right.

I'm practically an
adult, you know.

She will be soon, much
as I hate to admit it.

Come on then.

Thanks for coming up.

Do I need to bring
anything this evening?

I don't think so, Mrs.
Hall has it all in hand.

I didn't have tris down
as a dinner party sort.

Oh, well, this is a whole new
Tristan we're talking about.

Speaking of which,
I should get going,

I said I'd check in on him.

- How is he getting on?
- Surprisingly well.

Good for him.

It's good news for
the rest of us too.

Now he's out on calls, we
can split the night shifts.

Up in Glasgow, I only had
to be on call once a week.

I thought you liked
being out in the dales

- under the moonlight.
- Oh, I do,

it's just I quite like a
full night's sleep too.

It's a good job you
didn't stay in Glasgow

any longer then, it sounds
like you'd have gone soft.

Yeah, you're probably right.

[{Car door clicking open]

How are you doing there, tris?

Thought I'd see if
you needed a hand.

I'm managing as best I can
at the moment.

Although the presentation does,

ah, present some
serious difficulties.

[{Tristan grunting]

Both legs are back.

God, she's got an incredibly
long pelvis.

It is long.

Oh, god, here comes
another contraction.

[{Tristan grunting]

Oh!

Er, everything
alright there, tris?

I just need a moment.

Oh, give over, will you?

Could one of the
boys have done that?

Not if I want it
doing this year.

Well, let me help.

I'll need the extra chair, if
Tristan's bringing someone.

Is he not back yet?

He's not and he doesn't
need you showing up

with any more equipment.

I only wanted to make sure
he wasn't out of his depth.

- Hm.
- Maybe I should give dobson

a call, find out how
he's getting wrong.

Oh, there's no need for that,

I asked James to pop
in on his way back.

Oh, so your faith isn't
entirely unshakeable either?

He's a good boy.

I know he doesn't
want to let you down.

Despite the fact that
it's often the end result.

No, I have noticed
a change in him.

I wonder if what he really
needed was a bit of self-belief.

He thinks he's a qualified
vet and so he acts like one.

We fixed it.

Oh, I do hope so.

[{Tristan grunting]

Tris, do you want me to-

You poor lad, what can I do?

Could you manage a sip of tea?

Seriously, you need
to let me take over.

I've come too far
to stop now, James.

Can't be much longer.

Ah.

You brave lad,
you'll need something

much stronger than
a tea after this.

Oh, god, here we go again.

Evening, Mrs. Hall.

Oh, don't worry, I'm early.

I thought you might need a hand.

Oh, you are good.

Well, those napkins
need going on the table,

but take your coat off first

and will you call me aud?

You've known me long enough.

I can't believe what you've
pulled off here, aud.

If it were me,
I'd have told tris

he could have a cold buffet
and count himself lucky.

Oh, the cooking's no trouble.

All the other madness.

Siegfried up to his
usual tricks, is he?

- He's been very nice.
- Hm.

He even let Tristan
drive the rover.

That's not like him.

Well, no, I think Tristan's
finding it quite unnerving.

To be honest, we all are.

James says tris is
doing well though.

So far so good.

He reckons it'd mean you
could make some changes

- round here.
- Seems so.

I think he got used to
the easy life in Glasgow.

To be honest, I'm half
surprised he ever came back.

Well, I think his mother
was certainly keen

for him to accept the
pen'nanent position.

Did they offer him one?

Apparently, I don't
know all the details.

Right, he didn't say anything.

Did he not?

Now I think we're
just about ready,

though with that
blessed labrador

just hoping I haven't put
peas in the blancmange.

Good feeling, isn't it?

Yeah, it really is.

First calf.

And I didn't mess it up.

Thanks again, Mr. Famon.

- You take care now.
- Yeah, will do.

Good evening, Mr. Dobson.

Are you sure you'll be alright
driving with that shoulder?

We can easily leave
the rover and we can.

You bugger!

You were putting that on?

Got to admit it was an
inspired performance.

I'll tell you something,

siegfried is going to get a
glowing report from Mr. Dobson.

Yeah, I suppose.

Siegfried really is
proud of you, you know.

No, he's not, but
maybe after today,

he might stop thinking
I'm a hopeless case.

Helen, you're here.

Oh, happy birthday, tris, James.

Ah, have you seen siegfried?

He said something about a
telephone call from Mr. Dobson.

Right.

I'd better go change.

Everything okay? —hm—mm.

I should take these through.

No, that's
very helpful, Mr. Dobson.

S—siegfried!

Everything alright?

Shouldn't I be asking you that?

Right, yes, all good, one
calf delivered safe and sound.

As one would hope.

Well, go on then,
get yourself dressed,

you've guests arriving.

I just thought
you might want to-

I'll get it then, shall I?

Yes, no, I should.

Mrs. Brompton.

Hello, thank you.

I do hope I'm not too early.

Not at all, you're
right on time.

Diana.

Siegfried.

- My, how dashing you look.
- Thank you.

A spot of blue ruin

for when you boys huddle
up with your port.

No need for me and Mrs. Hall
to miss out, don't you agree?

Very kind of you, I'm sure.

Come in.

So where's the birthday boy?

I hope changing into
less odoriferous attire.

Siegfried, you are dreadful.

Good evening.

Margot sebright Saunders.

Tristan did say to come at 7:30.

Yes, of course,
please do come in.

Thank you.

And she said,
"not much of a jumper,

So lovely to finally
meet you, Mrs. Famon,

- these are for you.
- Oh, no, I'm not-

siegfried, honestly,

is there something
you haven't told me?

I'm Mrs. Hall, the housekeeper.

Oh, I'm so sorry.
Er, should I...

I'll just put these in water.

Margot, do come in.

Now then ladies, if this
amontillado is too dry for you,

I do have something sweeter.

Oh, I think we're sweet enough
already, don't you, margot?

Oh, yes, absolutely.

Oh, Helen, I believe you know

- miss sebright Saunders.
- Helen, so lovely to see you.

Margot, how are you?

Oh, I'm perfectly
fine, but how are you?

I was simply devastated about
you and Hugh, we all were.

Oh, well, that's
very kind of you.

I'm so glad to see you out
and about despite everything.

Right, here we are.

Thank you.

What's all that about?

Oh, margot was an
old pal of Hugh's,

family friends or what have you.

You didn't think to
mention that before?

Has he said anything to you?

Who?

Siegfried, I know he's spoken
to dobson on the phone.

If he thinks I've
botched it somehow,

why doesn't he
just say something?

If you'd all like to come
through, dinner is served.

Siegfried, shouldn't Tristan
be at the head of the table?

Um, yes, quite right,
silly of me, um.

- I don't know.
- It's your birthday,

it's only proper.

James, how do we,
how do we do this?

Well, I, um...

Why don't you two swap?

Hm, yes, of course, thank
you, Mrs. Hall, very sensible.

So margot, how's that bay
mare of your father's?

Will he be entering her
on the northwest circuit?

I should think so, she's
showing excellent form.

I look forward to
seeing her in action.

Well, she'll be up against
the holton's new gelding.

He's having a
pretty good season.

Just a shame Hugh's
missing all the events.

Who's this?

Ah, Hugh holton.

I keep telling him he should
just come back from France.

I'm sure he's having
a fine, old time.

He said he felt too ashamed
to show his face in darrowby,

though what he's got to be
ashamed of, I really don't know.

Hugh has nothing
to be ashamed of,

but I had to be honest with him.

The longer I let it go on,

the worse it would have
got for both of us.

I agree, far better
to make a clean break,

no point in
prolonging the agony.

I suppose not.

You know, Mrs. Hall, this
soup is absolutely first rate.

Best one yet, Mrs. H.

Oh, it was no bother at all.

No, that's going in the pantry.

[{All chattering]

Especially for you, tris.

Oh, good choice, James.

Oh, gather over here, boy.

If I might have your
attention for a moment,

ladies and gentlemen.

First of all, Mrs. Hall,

thank you for making
such a delicious meal

and beef of which
Wellington would be proud.

Hear, hear.

- Hear, hear.
- Now, as some of you know,

today was not only my
brother's birthday,

it was also his first day
out on call as lead vet.

Now to say that I
had my reservations-

ah, would be putting it mildly.

And I admit, I
thought it prudent

to keep a close eye on his
progress throughout the day.

Having said all
that, to my surprise

and dare I say it delight,

the reports of his work have
been uniformly excellent.

So a toast...

To Tristan,

many happy returns and my
heartfelt congratulations.

To Tristan.

That was lovely.

You sound almost like
the proud father.

Yes, well, isuppose in
a way, that's how I feel.

Oh.

Oh, good heavens, what's that?

Oh, it's fine, she'll
calm down in a minute.

Sounds like something's in pain.

I almost wonder if it might be

- a postoperative complication.
- It's not a complication,

she just doesn't like
being on her own.

I'll let her out as
soon as we finish.

I'd be more than
happy to take a look.

I've already examined her
thoroughly, thank you.

You know, siegfried, the
thing I realized today

is it doesn't matter
how good a vet you are,

people only respect you,

once they see you putting
in the hard graft.

Well, no one could
fault you there, tris.

No, because at the
end of the day,

I'm not afraid to
go the extra mile,

- if that's what it takes.
- You certainly went all out.

If it's sweat and tears they
want, I'll give it to them.

If you've done anything

to embarrass this
practice, Tristan.

No, no, not at all, no.

I mean, I may have exaggerated
the effort involved a little.

No, really?

A few well-placed groans,

some unnecessarily
straining sinews

and the final how! Of pain.

- Goodness!
- Yes.

The final what?

Ah, I may have gotten
slightly carried away,

but it had the desired effect.

What is wrong with you?

For god's sake, after that
fiasco with the chickens,

I thought you'd finally
come to your senses.

Yeah, and I have absolutely.

I thought you'd finally started

to take responsibility
for your actions.

Complete
responsibility, totally,

but fair's fair, old chap,

you're hardly averse to
putting on a show yourself.

I would never resort to
play acting and tomfoolery.

Oh, come off it, you
and your purple powder

blinding the great unwashed
with the magic of science.

- That is entirely different.
- I don't see how.

Because I know what I'm doing!

- Yes, well, so do I.
- I seriously doubt that.

Well, I've got the
qualifications to prove it.

Oh, so you think.

Wait, what?

Why don't we all go
through, everyone?

I can make us some drinks
and see to that dog.

Are you saying I didn't pass?

You told me that I'd passed,
you said categorically-

I know, I may have

omitted one or two
of the finer details.

So I didn't pass?

You narrowly missed the Mark
on one paper, parasitology,

but really in the
great scheme of things,

just a tiny, white lie.

You're not serious?

You tried so hard and I knew
how disappointed you'd be,

so I just, I bent
the truth a little.

You let me think I was
qualified, when I wasn't

and then you let me carry on

showing off like
a complete idiot,

all this time, I've been
a total laughing stock.

Oh, for god's sake, you'd
already wasted so much time

on those blasted exams, I
thought you'd be better off

getting out there,
getting your hands dirty

and I've been proven
right, haven't I?

I don't believe you,

even now, you can't admit
that you're in the wrong.

See, I don't see that
I am necessarily.

Oh, well, there's a surprise.

Well, thank
you so much for dinner.

It was very nice to meet you.

Only Tristan did say
he would drive me home.

- Oh.
- Not to worry,

I can give you a lift, margot.

That's awfully kind of you.

I'm sorry about all this.

Please don't apologize.

Dinner and a show, who
could ask for more?

We shall have to have
that gin another time.

I'm sorry.

I appreciate now,

that it can't have been
easy for you either.

It's fine, margot, really.

Well, I hope you'll
both be very happy.

Come on, margot!

You sure I can't
help you tidy up?

Oh, I think a discrete
exit's probably best.

- Thanks for this.
- Enjoy.

My dad loves a doggy bag.

I made you some blancmange.

I'm sticking to liquids,
thanks all the same.

- Tris.
- Did you know?

Why didn't you tell me?

I'm so sorry.

I only found out later

and your brother's
intentions weren't bad,

even if perhaps
his methods were.

Didn't even buy the bag, did he?

He was still the
one who paid for it.

You have no idea

how much he cares for you

and worries about you.

- It's just hard for him.
- Hard for him?

I am truly sorry.

Just couldn't have gone
any worse, if it tried.

Poor tris.

Did you know about his exams?

I had no idea, siegfried's
outdone himself this time.

I mean, I'm sure
he meant well, but-

but the road to hell is
paved with good intentions.

So what will it mean
for the practice,

if tris isn't stepping up?

Well, I suppose any
modernization will have to wait.

Helen, there's something I
need to talk to you about.

- It's about Glasgow.
- They offered you a job.

-How did you-
-Audrey thought I knew.

Right.

I'm so sorry, I've been
wanting to tell you.

Are you considering it?

I see.

It's not...

The chap I was covering
for is leaving,

so they need to replace him
and well, bill told my mum

and next thing I know, she'd
told him I'd taken the job.

Right,

and are you?

No, I...

I don't know, I need
to make a decision,

but whatever I decide, I'll
be letting people down.

Oh, James, why didn't
you say something?

I didn't want you to feel like I
was putting pressure on you.

How do you mean?

Helen,

I want to be with you

and that means staying in
darrowby and I love it here,

I do, the place, the
work, the people,

but if I stay...

You'll break your
mother's heart.

They've given up so much for me.

I don't know what
I'm going to do.

Well then, we'll just have to

work something out, won't we?

Stay for another brew.

I'd love to, but I'd better
get back and check on tris.

Have the others turned in?

Are you alright?

Just dandy, I mean, I've
been publicly humiliated,

- shown up as a laughing stock.
- Tris.

But I'm exacting my revenge
with a very fine malt.

Is that siegfried's
special bottle?

Certainly was.

Come on.

Misery loves company
and all that.

Would it have made a difference,

if you'd found out sooner?

What, that I'm a
complete failure?

I don't know, maybe
ignorance was bliss.

There are plenty of fine
vets with no qualifications.

You know you can do the
work, that's what matters.

Come on. —where are we going?

Unless I'm mistaken,
it's still my birthday,

so I say we go and get
blasted at the drovers.

All right then.

And bring the whiskey.

You know, we should've
just gone to the bloody pub
