Mr Fairhead.

0:00:020:00:03

My esteemed colleagues were on a stag night,

0:00:030:00:08

and they seem to have misplaced the groom.

0:00:080:00:10

No-one of that name here.

0:00:100:00:12

What...what happened?

0:00:140:00:16

Cancer, stage four.

0:00:160:00:18

She is going to be a widow in a few months.

0:00:180:00:22

All that heartache for a few memories.

0:00:220:00:25

You're having a baby, Robyn.

0:00:260:00:27

I'm very sorry.

0:00:330:00:34

Napkins! I've forgotten the napkins.

0:00:400:00:43

Ah, have you had a break yet?

0:00:430:00:45

I'm due one now, yes.

0:00:450:00:46

Please, please, please?

0:00:460:00:48

-All right.

-Yes.

0:00:490:00:51

Yes. It's fine, no problem..

0:00:510:00:53

Thank you.

0:00:530:00:54

Robyn, I need a word with you.

0:00:560:00:58

Charlie. One o'clock, guys.

0:00:580:01:00

One o'clock for what?

0:01:000:01:01

We've got lunch plans.

0:01:010:01:03

Don't even bother. Not today!

0:01:030:01:04

Robyn?

0:01:040:01:06

Is it about work?

0:01:060:01:07

No.

0:01:070:01:09

-Is it anything related to the christening?

-No, not directly.

0:01:090:01:12

Well, then it can wait.

0:01:120:01:13

So...explanation?

0:02:000:02:02

Do you want to sit down?

0:02:090:02:10

Today's the big day.

0:02:140:02:16

Isn't it?

0:02:160:02:18

Yes.

0:02:180:02:19

You knew?

0:02:190:02:21

You're still wearing the ring.

0:02:250:02:27

This...

0:02:300:02:31

This was to remember a dead man.

0:02:340:02:36

RING CLATTERS

0:02:360:02:38

Went well.

0:02:410:02:43

I should have left you in the gutter, shouldn't I?

0:02:430:02:45

I wasn't in the gutter, DD... I was gazing at the stars.

0:02:450:02:49

# Make me feel like the one Make me feel like the one... #

0:02:500:02:53

I wasn't having a go...

0:02:550:02:56

And you bring it up in here cos you think I won't start owt?

0:02:580:03:00

-Oi!

-Ain't no-body here going to give two...

0:03:000:03:03

Oi! Let go of her, you stupid human being.

0:03:030:03:07

You all right, love?

0:03:100:03:11

You got a problem?

0:03:120:03:13

Outside.

0:03:130:03:15

I hope you know what you're doing, mate.

0:03:150:03:17

-cos if this goes downhill...

-Blah, blah, blah, blah.

0:03:170:03:20

Outside, you woman-beating, brain-dead, sack of...

0:03:200:03:24

..dirt.

0:03:250:03:26

It's school time, come on.

0:03:280:03:30

Soon as I negotiate my way out of this, it's on.

0:03:380:03:42

You couldn't beat her, mate.

0:03:420:03:43

Don't you worry about me, soft lad.

0:03:430:03:45

-Dead man walking here.

-Right, mate.

-I'm not scared of you.

0:03:470:03:50

Ha! The joke's on you, lad. My headache's gone.

0:03:540:03:58

Have you seen this man? He was on a stag do.

0:04:010:04:04

No? No, all right, thanks for you help.

0:04:040:04:07

GROANING

0:04:100:04:11

Home sweet home. Want me to show you around?

0:04:190:04:23

You want to see it again?

0:04:240:04:25

Can you sit up for me, Glen? I need to have a look at your eye.

0:04:290:04:32

It's just superficial damage, I think you'll be OK.

0:04:350:04:38

I didn't feel anything, Dylan.

0:04:380:04:39

PHONE RINGS

0:04:390:04:40

Really, this couldn't be happening at a worse time.

0:04:460:04:49

Can I... Glen, I've got to go now

0:04:490:04:52

but I'm going to pop back later in the week.

0:04:520:04:54

Oh, no, no, leave me to it, man.

0:04:540:04:56

No, no, no, I really, I need to pop back. I've got some news for you.

0:04:560:04:59

I might not be here. I'm hoping I won't be.

0:04:590:05:01

Well, you need to be here. It's important and you're going to want to hear it.

0:05:010:05:05

Oh, now I'm intrigued.

0:05:050:05:06

-PHONE RINGS

-Right, well, stay intrigued. OK, I'll see you then.

0:05:060:05:10

Yes?

0:05:120:05:14

Well, have you found him yet?

0:05:140:05:15

-The Lion King?

-No.

0:05:170:05:19

You didn't cry at The Lion King?

0:05:190:05:21

I told you I don't cry that much.

0:05:210:05:23

It's A Wonderful Life?

0:05:230:05:24

That's just about a banker, isn't it!

0:05:260:05:27

I think you kind of missed the point.

0:05:270:05:29

Bambi?

0:05:360:05:37

Mmmm, venison steak. Yum yum!

0:05:370:05:39

You're not human, even a serial killer would cry at Bambi.

0:05:390:05:42

Dylan, you're needed in paeds resus.

0:05:450:05:49

Young baby, mother died at the scene, father's in resus now.

0:05:500:05:53

-OK.

-What's happening?

0:05:530:05:55

It's the conclusion of a very bad plan.

0:05:550:05:57

OK. Right, the baby is six months old.

0:05:590:06:01

Strapped into a rear-facing car seat in the passenger side

0:06:010:06:05

when the car flipped over.

0:06:050:06:06

He's drowsy but responsive to pain.

0:06:060:06:09

Connie and Elle not free, no?

0:06:090:06:11

No.

0:06:110:06:12

Robyn, I don't know what to say.

0:06:120:06:14

Dylan. Just one thing at a time. That can wait.

0:06:140:06:17

All right, OK, pulmonary contusions are evident.

0:06:190:06:22

Let's keep going with the O2, then, please.

0:06:220:06:24

I'll need an EZ-IO drill. And an antiseptic wipe as well.

0:06:240:06:28

Yes?

0:06:290:06:31

OK, Paeds can take him now.

0:06:320:06:34

-Can you put them on speaker phone?

-Yes.

0:06:340:06:36

I am not content that he will make the transfer, I think

0:06:360:06:39

he's about to go into respiratory arrest.

0:06:390:06:40

So we are going to intubate down here.

0:06:400:06:42

-Can you send somebody down, please?

-Did you get that? OK.

0:06:420:06:45

Not today, please, Dylan.

0:06:490:06:51

No, I will do my best.

0:06:510:06:52

DRILL WHIRS

0:06:570:06:58

Glen, a friend of mine... he was here yesterday?

0:07:100:07:13

Yeah?

0:07:140:07:16

# And I think it's going be a long, long time... #

0:07:160:07:18

OK, can we have some coffee, please? Lots of it.

0:07:180:07:21

I wasn't sure if I'd dreamt about you or not.

0:07:260:07:29

That would have been a very dull dream.

0:07:290:07:30

Your turn.

0:07:340:07:35

Aw, man, you're no fun, are you?

0:07:410:07:44

If it had to be anyone from Holby,

0:07:470:07:49

why you?

0:07:490:07:51

You echo my thoughts.

0:07:510:07:52

How are you feeling now?

0:07:550:07:56

Sober.

0:07:580:08:00

You sure about that?

0:08:000:08:02

Starting to feel again, it's horrible.

0:08:020:08:04

Robyn's pregnant, the child is yours, and she's keeping it.

0:08:090:08:13

I'm assuming that you left her at the altar for altruistic reasons,

0:08:180:08:20

so I've also made the assumption that you'd want to know that fact.

0:08:200:08:24

Thank you.

0:08:430:08:44

What did you tell me that for?

0:08:510:08:53

There I was, happily dying, and you drop that bomb shell on me.

0:08:540:08:57

You could have not said anything, you could have just left me to it.

0:09:000:09:03

Well, you can take it from me, Glen,

0:09:060:09:08

that although we say it doesn't matter, who our father is

0:09:080:09:12

is important to our sense of self.

0:09:120:09:14

Now, I'm sure you don't want your child growing up

0:09:160:09:19

thinking that you abandoned the mother

0:09:190:09:21

and you crawled off to some grotty seaside hole

0:09:210:09:24

to drink yourself to death.

0:09:240:09:25

I'm sure that you want something better.

0:09:250:09:28

You could just say I got killed saving the universe.

0:09:330:09:36

OK, there will be plenty of time for gallows humour later,

0:09:360:09:39

but for now, let's be serious.

0:09:390:09:40

OK, I've just told you that you're going to be a father.

0:09:400:09:43

What do you want to do?

0:09:430:09:44

I want to hold my child before I die.

0:09:480:09:50

Remind me of your original prognosis.

0:09:570:09:59

Um... I was given a couple of weeks to live, three months ago.

0:10:010:10:05

Goodness me, you've done well, haven't you?

0:10:050:10:07

You've not seen a doctor since then?

0:10:070:10:09

-No.

-GP?

0:10:090:10:11

I've got some pills.

0:10:120:10:14

Um...

0:10:140:10:15

When's the baby due?

0:10:160:10:19

May.

0:10:190:10:20

That's ages.

0:10:220:10:24

So, um...how are you going to help keep me alive till then?

0:10:260:10:31

Me?

0:10:350:10:36

Who else?

0:10:360:10:38

I'm not a specialist, Glen.

0:10:380:10:39

Well, you must know some?

0:10:390:10:41

OK, rather than try to further defer your prognosis,

0:10:410:10:44

what I was hoping to do is engineer some sort of reconciliation.

0:10:440:10:47

Once more, in English.

0:10:470:10:49

Don't you think it's time you spoke to Robyn?

0:10:490:10:51

No. Not a chance, and you must not say a word either.

0:10:510:10:55

Why not?

0:10:550:10:57

My time was up ages ago.

0:10:570:10:59

Right, I'm already dead to her,

0:10:590:11:01

so what's the point in telling her I'm alive

0:11:010:11:03

just for her to go through all that again?

0:11:030:11:06

You shouldn't have told me she was preggers, but you did,

0:11:060:11:09

so you have to help me to stay alive now.

0:11:090:11:11

Just one moment, that's all I ask, to see her...

0:11:120:11:16

..to hold her.

0:11:180:11:20

By "her" you mean?

0:11:200:11:22

The baby.

0:11:220:11:23

-I've got a hunch.

-Right.

0:11:240:11:25

Deal?

0:11:270:11:28

Yes, terrific, yes.

0:11:330:11:36

Good.

0:11:360:11:37

HE GROANS

0:11:400:11:42

Come on!

0:11:520:11:54

HE GASPS

0:12:020:12:04

Goodness me...

0:12:190:12:21

Problem?

0:12:260:12:28

What?

0:12:290:12:30

What patient is that for, then?

0:12:310:12:33

Didn't seem to remember anyone being admitted today with a brain tumour?

0:12:350:12:38

Noel, did you order me that pizza?

0:12:380:12:42

-On it now.

-Thanks.

0:12:420:12:43

How's Robyn?

0:12:460:12:48

Yes, fine.

0:12:480:12:49

Being looked after?

0:12:490:12:50

Yes, she's got everybody at her beck and call.

0:12:510:12:55

-Good.

-Right, now, this woman we are about to speak to...

0:12:550:12:59

What about her?

0:12:590:13:00

She's an old tutor of mine.

0:13:000:13:02

Um...

0:13:020:13:03

Brace yourself.

0:13:060:13:07

Right

0:13:070:13:09

COMPUTER CONNECTION RINGS

0:13:090:13:11

Dylan!?

0:13:130:13:14

I think you were expecting my call, weren't you?

0:13:140:13:16

Oh, honey, you got OLD - what happened?

0:13:160:13:19

Thank you very much, so have you.

0:13:190:13:20

Would have thought of all people you could make time stand still.

0:13:200:13:24

Well, I live in America, that's what we do if you have enough money.

0:13:240:13:27

I chose not to.

0:13:270:13:28

Right, this is the gentleman we've been talking about.

0:13:280:13:32

Hello.

0:13:320:13:33

Well, hello, sailor. Listen, Glen?

0:13:330:13:37

My former student is very much in awe of me,

0:13:370:13:40

so I'm going to talk slowly so that he understands,

0:13:400:13:45

I mean, we don't want him any more repressed than he already is, right?

0:13:450:13:49

I mean, he could disappear entirely up his own orifice.

0:13:490:13:52

Right, that's enough of that, I can hear every word.

0:13:520:13:54

I know you can!

0:13:540:13:56

So, Glen, are you single?

0:13:560:14:00

Yeah. I missed my opportunity.

0:14:010:14:04

Too bad, I only hit on married men.

0:14:050:14:07

Raise your right arm for me, please.

0:14:090:14:11

I am having a hard time understanding how you can do that.

0:14:160:14:20

Well, I can't most mornings.

0:14:200:14:23

-Seizures?

-Yes.

0:14:230:14:25

Spasms on the right side?

0:14:250:14:27

-Yeah.

-Debilitating headaches, nausea, lack of appetite,

0:14:270:14:31

sensitivity to sun?

0:14:310:14:33

Yeah, all of the above.

0:14:330:14:35

We're looking to maximise Glen's remaining time.

0:14:350:14:41

What day were you looking at?

0:14:410:14:42

End of May?

0:14:420:14:44

It's very important, Zsa Zsa.

0:14:450:14:47

Zsa Zsa?

0:14:470:14:49

Well...not being funny, but I'm not sure

0:14:490:14:53

I want to be operated on by somebody called Zsa Zsa.

0:14:530:14:56

No offence taken, but it's a moot point.

0:14:560:15:00

The procedure itself is very simple.

0:15:000:15:02

We use an ALA dye to highlight, chop away, chemotherapy and prayer.

0:15:020:15:08

Where do I sign?

0:15:080:15:10

There's a hitch.

0:15:110:15:13

You have surgeons in the UK who can do this procedure

0:15:130:15:16

and I have contacted them, but the waiting list can't be circumvented.

0:15:160:15:19

What's the matter, you don't have 200,000 stashed away somewhere?

0:15:210:15:25

Yes, just give me a minute.

0:15:250:15:28

How long is the waiting list, Zsa Zsa, about eight weeks?

0:15:280:15:30

Eight weeks minimum.

0:15:300:15:32

-Well, that's me done, then, isn't it?

-Glen, sit down.

0:15:320:15:34

I'm not going to be here in eight weeks!

0:15:340:15:36

-Glen, sit down for me.

-Why? Computer says no.

0:15:360:15:39

Just calm down a second.

0:15:390:15:40

You heard her. It's always about the money, isn't it?

0:15:400:15:43

If you're born poor? Tough luck.

0:15:430:15:46

The chemotherapy alone could offer you some hope.

0:15:470:15:50

What? With my luck?

0:15:500:15:51

You said it yourself,

0:15:510:15:53

this baby's going to grow up knowing it's father was a loser.

0:15:530:15:57

I just wanted to do one good thing before I go.

0:15:570:16:00

Right, I'm off to the pub, tell your friend sorry for the hissy fit,

0:16:030:16:08

and thanks for trying.

0:16:080:16:09

You heard that?

0:16:150:16:16

Thanks for the emotional blackmail.

0:16:160:16:18

Who's the mother?

0:16:200:16:22

She's a colleague, actually, she's a good person,

0:16:220:16:25

you'd probably hate her.

0:16:250:16:27

Why are you doing this? It's not in your character.

0:16:270:16:31

Well, you know, he wants to see his child.

0:16:330:16:36

Well, I'm a genius, I'm not a magician.

0:16:360:16:39

He should be long dead, I think you can see that for yourself.

0:16:390:16:42

Come on, surely you want to have a good rummage around in there?

0:16:420:16:46

I shall ruminate.

0:16:480:16:49

OK, all right, thanks.

0:16:490:16:51

I stopped calling. There wasn't much point when you wouldn't call back.

0:16:520:16:57

Well, that is in character...so, you know, don't take it personally.

0:16:570:17:01

Are you still...?

0:17:020:17:04

No, sober...been for a few years.

0:17:040:17:07

Your father?

0:17:090:17:10

Yeah, he's done the same, turned his life around.

0:17:100:17:13

He's the mayor of the city now.

0:17:130:17:15

I miss your sarcasm. We don't have anybody like you here.

0:17:180:17:22

No, all right. Well, ta-ta for now, OK?

0:17:220:17:25

How's the dad?

0:17:320:17:33

Dylan, can I help?

0:17:360:17:37

I'm just about in, thank you.

0:17:370:17:39

Come on, little man.

0:17:400:17:42

Can I have the FAST scanner, please, I want to do an ultrasound.

0:17:430:17:46

Robyn?

0:17:500:17:51

Can you just go back to wherever you were hiding?

0:17:570:17:59

Just hear me out, please.

0:17:590:18:00

There's a baby in here fighting for his life

0:18:000:18:03

and he's just lost his parents, you really want to talk about you?

0:18:030:18:06

Not now, no. Robyn! Whatever that is, I don't think it's working.

0:18:060:18:10

Can you please just go away?

0:18:100:18:12

Let me see Charlotte.

0:18:120:18:13

No.

0:18:140:18:16

Do you know what you can do?

0:18:290:18:31

Robyn?

0:18:470:18:48

Hey.

0:18:500:18:51

Don't you hey me, mister - taking off like that. Some kind of martyr.

0:18:510:18:55

I'm so sorry.

0:18:550:18:57

You will be. Baby's got what you've got...

0:18:570:19:00

..glioblastoma.

0:19:010:19:03

Please, that's not fair.

0:19:030:19:06

No, no, no, no, no, no.

0:19:060:19:10

Ssh.

0:19:130:19:14

I told a lie.

0:19:460:19:47

I said I only go for married men,

0:19:470:19:50

I also go for stubborn ones.

0:19:500:19:52

Guilty as charged.

0:19:540:19:56

I wanted to see Dylan.

0:20:020:20:05

I also want to try

0:20:050:20:07

and prolong your life a bit while I was at it.

0:20:070:20:10

Thank you.

0:20:110:20:12

Did you ever see the movie, 9½ Weeks?

0:20:160:20:19

No, but I'd like to live that long.

0:20:190:20:22

We're going to get along just fine.

0:20:240:20:25

Ha-ha!

0:20:290:20:30

We're not going to Holby, are we?

0:20:340:20:36

De-De's toytown hospital can't handle what I got, sweetheart.

0:20:370:20:40

De-De?

0:20:400:20:42

Don't ask. And you - zip it.

0:20:420:20:46

This is Jeffers, he's not allowed to speak because he's a moron.

0:20:510:20:55

Ta-da!

0:20:580:20:59

Close your mouths, boys.

0:21:000:21:03

See, De-De, you can have a little toy like this

0:21:030:21:06

in about, oh, 30 years or so.

0:21:060:21:09

Yes, but we try not to discriminate against the poor patients, though.

0:21:090:21:12

Well, here's the culprit.

0:21:130:21:15

That's my head?

0:21:150:21:16

Yes, keep up, sweetie.

0:21:160:21:18

This glioblastoma is very impressive.

0:21:180:21:22

I want your head when you die.

0:21:220:21:24

-That's tactful.

-From a surgical perspective,

0:21:250:21:28

it is very aggressively attached.

0:21:280:21:30

I can't remove any more than that without risking serious damage.

0:21:340:21:38

There seems to be quite a lot left.

0:21:390:21:41

Yes.

0:21:410:21:42

OK. Well, forget tact, I'm a Welshman.

0:21:460:21:51

You can say it.

0:21:510:21:53

I want to go deeper.

0:21:550:21:56

If successful, I am confident you will be here for your baby's birth.

0:21:570:22:03

If unsuccessful, the surgery will cause major damage

0:22:030:22:07

and you will be in a vegetative state or dead.

0:22:070:22:10

De-De, I told you years ago

0:22:100:22:12

if the news is bad it's easier to remember and harder to say.

0:22:120:22:15

Yes, I've tried to remember that.

0:22:170:22:19

Chances?

0:22:210:22:22

50-50.

0:22:220:22:24

OK.

0:22:250:22:27

OK.

0:22:290:22:30

Heads, I go for it, obviously.

0:22:330:22:36

OK, let's do it.

0:22:450:22:47

I'll start getting the wheels in motion.

0:22:470:22:49

Leave a message after the tone -

0:22:510:22:53

I'm probably dead, though, so I'll get back to you...

0:22:530:22:56

in your nightmares!

0:22:560:22:57

ANSWER PHONE BEEPS

0:22:570:22:58

Glen, it's me.

0:22:580:23:00

Robyn has given birth, to a baby girl,

0:23:000:23:02

but she's very premature, though.

0:23:020:23:04

So, well, I'm sure you understand what I'm saying.

0:23:040:23:07

It might be a bit touch-and-go.

0:23:090:23:10

Go on. It's fine, it's fine.

0:23:330:23:34

Hello.

0:23:430:23:44

Can I hold her?

0:23:520:23:54

No, I'm afraid any infection at this stage would be catastrophic.

0:23:550:23:59

She's strong.

0:24:000:24:02

No, Glen, not strong enough for that, I'm afraid...

0:24:020:24:05

No, man, I mean... look at her parents.

0:24:050:24:09

She's a little bruiser in the making.

0:24:120:24:14

Going to be tough.

0:24:150:24:16

-WHISPERS:

-I'll make you a deal, little one.

0:24:190:24:23

You pull through this...

0:24:240:24:27

..and your daddy will too, I promise.

0:24:270:24:30

Glen, Robyn's coming.

0:24:310:24:32

Dylan? It's really late.

0:24:350:24:38

Yes, I couldn't sleep... I thought I'd come and pay a visit.

0:24:380:24:43

It's OK, it's all right.

0:24:460:24:47

Have you had breakfast?

0:24:560:24:57

-No.

-Keep it that way.

0:24:580:25:00

Come here. Come here.

0:25:050:25:07

I am the best at this. Do you believe me?

0:25:090:25:13

I daren't not.

0:25:140:25:16

It will be all right.

0:25:190:25:21

WHAT?!

0:25:220:25:24

I'll see you there.

0:25:260:25:27

Are you all right, Glen?

0:25:350:25:37

Can you give that to...

0:25:400:25:42

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. OK.

0:25:440:25:45

Just in case.

0:25:450:25:47

Been thinking... cancer is pretty random, right?

0:25:490:25:53

There's no reason why I got this, I just did. Yes?

0:25:530:25:56

That's right, yes.

0:25:560:25:58

So there's no point asking, "Why me?"

0:25:580:26:00

Or feeling cursed or blaming that cigarette I had when I was 15?

0:26:000:26:04

Is there's a point to this?

0:26:060:26:07

This is pretty messed up,

0:26:070:26:10

but what if there was somebody up there who knew that I was going to

0:26:100:26:13

leave Robyn all pregnant and that, and gave me cancer retrospectively?

0:26:130:26:17

Because I'm a bad man?

0:26:170:26:19

I don't know where to begin with the holes in that thinking, Glen.

0:26:190:26:23

Look at that.

0:26:280:26:29

Good.

0:26:310:26:33

Unfortunately, I hold my scalpel with this hand...

0:26:330:26:37

Hold on a minute.

0:26:400:26:42

Would you get in here?

0:26:440:26:46

I don't want you listening to him.

0:26:480:26:50

I need to know it's the anaesthesia and not boredom.

0:26:500:26:52

OK, Glen, I will be asking you these questions

0:26:540:26:58

during the procedure. It's just to ascertain

0:26:580:27:00

that your speech and memory functions haven't been impaired.

0:27:000:27:03

Well, he's going to knock me out, isn't he?

0:27:030:27:05

I've been through this.

0:27:050:27:07

We will give you a local anaesthetic just to numb the pain

0:27:070:27:12

when we go into the skull.

0:27:120:27:13

And then after that you'll be awake throughout. OK?

0:27:130:27:15

OK, thank you.

0:27:170:27:19

Paediatrics are on their way down. All right?

0:27:190:27:22

This was supposed to be a happy day.

0:27:220:27:24

Well, he's going to pull through, so I think we've done a good job.

0:27:240:27:27

Yeah, but without his parents. Babies need their parents.

0:27:280:27:32

Yes, yes. They do.

0:27:330:27:35

How could you not tell me that he was still alive?!

0:27:370:27:40

I was trying to do the right thing for you.

0:27:410:27:44

That's what Glen had me believe.

0:27:440:27:45

Of all the people in the world, he does not know what is right for me.

0:27:450:27:49

Quite.

0:27:490:27:50

OK, ultimately, what does he want?

0:27:500:27:52

I think he just wants to see his daughter.

0:27:520:27:55

I'm busy.

0:28:010:28:02

All right, Glen?

0:28:030:28:05

Yes.

0:28:050:28:07

Haven't seen you for a while?

0:28:070:28:09

No, not since I left Robyn at the altar trying to avoid death.

0:28:090:28:14

Anyway, I've got some good news for once.

0:28:150:28:17

Oh, yeah?

0:28:170:28:19

It was the childminders. His mum and dad are on their way in now.

0:28:190:28:23

It was the childminders in the car.

0:28:230:28:25

Oh. Not good news for the childminders, is it?

0:28:250:28:29

No, but at least the little one's got both his parents now, so...

0:28:290:28:33

Anyway, be well.

0:28:330:28:34

What have you done here. What's this?

0:28:420:28:44

Well, if I'm going to have to listen to you throughout all this,

0:28:440:28:49

I want to be asked interesting questions.

0:28:490:28:51

Fair enough. What's your middle name?

0:28:510:28:54

Dylan.

0:28:550:28:57

-Is that true?

-Mm-hm.

0:28:570:28:59

OK. Who's the greatest footballer ever?

0:28:590:29:03

Mark Hughes.

0:29:030:29:04

Oh, don't be silly, my boy Ronaldo makes him

0:29:040:29:07

look like a lower league amateur.

0:29:070:29:09

Hey, hey, hey, blasphemy.

0:29:090:29:11

Let's take a little look see, shall we?

0:29:110:29:13

-Oh!

-Er, wrong end, Doctor!

0:29:130:29:15

Nonsense. This is where every men keeps his brains.

0:29:150:29:18

-See my serious face?

-Mm-hm.

0:29:230:29:26

It's on from now.

0:29:260:29:28

WHIRRING

0:29:310:29:32

It's going to be OK.

0:29:320:29:33

What month are we in, Glen?

0:29:400:29:41

I'm hoping it's still April.

0:29:430:29:44

You can't rush these things.

0:29:450:29:47

Mother's maiden name?

0:29:470:29:48

Lettuce.

0:29:500:29:52

OK. Um...greatest footballer ever?

0:29:520:29:56

Robbie Savage.

0:29:560:29:58

Are you all right, Glen?

0:30:010:30:02

Ah! Got both of you, didn't I?

0:30:020:30:06

OK, Glen, I need you to take this seriously, please.

0:30:060:30:08

Listen. If I'm going to go out, I'm going to go out laughing.

0:30:080:30:13

OK. Greatest footballer ever?

0:30:130:30:15

Mark Hughes.

0:30:170:30:18

Your first maths teacher's name?

0:30:200:30:22

Mr Unwin.

0:30:220:30:24

OK, gents, we're getting to the important part, don't sneeze.

0:30:240:30:28

Middle name, Glen?

0:30:370:30:38

Dylan.

0:30:390:30:41

How are you feeling at the moment, all right?

0:30:430:30:46

Tired.

0:30:460:30:48

OK. Middle name?

0:30:480:30:49

Tired.

0:30:510:30:52

Can you hold my hand, Glen? Just up here.

0:30:520:30:56

Can you hold my hand?

0:30:590:31:00

Didn't think it was that kind of... er... thing.

0:31:020:31:06

I think we've got a seizure here, Zsa Zsa, is it possible to halt?

0:31:060:31:09

No, I can't stop right now. We've got a bleed.

0:31:090:31:12

Suction and gauze.

0:31:120:31:13

Glen?

0:31:130:31:15

More gauze. De-De, this is not good.

0:31:150:31:18

I need 5 milligrams diazepam IV, please.

0:31:180:31:20

Diathermy and clotting activator. I've got to stop this bleeding.

0:31:200:31:24

RESPIRATOR PUMPS

0:31:280:31:29

It's now or never, my flight leaves this evening.

0:31:410:31:45

Dylan, we have to see if he can breathe on his own.

0:31:540:31:56

I know I'm in emergency medicine, but I do understand.

0:31:580:32:02

I'll leave you to it, OK?

0:32:030:32:05

KNOCK ON DOOR

0:32:170:32:18

Here he is.

0:32:230:32:24

Kept us all waiting there, didn't you?

0:32:260:32:28

How are you doing, all right?

0:32:300:32:31

How is he?

0:32:340:32:36

No vocal capacity...

0:32:360:32:38

..and diminished physical movement on the entire right-hand side.

0:32:390:32:42

This speech therapist came highly recommended.

0:32:490:32:54

Keep me posted, will you?

0:33:020:33:04

If something pops up, like a picture of Glen and his daughter,

0:33:040:33:07

I'd be miffed if you didn't send me a copy.

0:33:070:33:10

Yeah, understood.

0:33:100:33:12

De-De. The tumour is at bay.

0:33:180:33:21

He's got to learn to walk and talk and use his right arm,

0:33:210:33:24

yeah, yeah, I know, I know.

0:33:240:33:26

I used to think you were such an alien,

0:33:280:33:32

totally incapable of human interaction.

0:33:320:33:36

Then you and I got drunk one night and you told me these horror stories

0:33:370:33:42

about you and your crazy family and it all made sense.

0:33:420:33:48

Every word of it true.

0:33:480:33:50

Well, I think you have come to love the earthlings.

0:33:510:33:54

You overstate it a fraction... OK.

0:33:550:33:59

You know what I think this is about?

0:33:590:34:01

You reunited a father and his child.

0:34:010:34:03

Neurosurgeon, psychiatrist, what can I say? You must be a genius.

0:34:070:34:10

I am.

0:34:100:34:12

And I fly.

0:34:120:34:13

Hmm!

0:34:130:34:14

Goodbye, De-De.

0:34:170:34:18

You know, I'm sorry that I didn't keep in contact...

0:34:220:34:26

I...

0:34:260:34:28

I think you must be the reason I survived medical school

0:34:280:34:31

and you're...a fabulous surgeon.

0:34:310:34:34

I am honoured to know you.

0:34:360:34:38

Good luck to us all.

0:34:460:34:48

Yes, good luck.

0:34:490:34:51

Don't touch that!

0:35:100:35:12

You couldn't lift an eyelid.

0:35:130:35:15

So it's true? About Glen?

0:35:230:35:25

Yes, but don't do anything, Max. He can literally just go away.

0:35:250:35:31

Lift going down.

0:35:380:35:39

Do you know what's worse than this?

0:35:440:35:46

-No.

-The fact that you've made me jealous of my own daughter.

0:35:460:35:49

Eh?!

0:35:490:35:51

You've come back for her. Not me.

0:35:510:35:54

You've come back to hold her, You left me, as easy as that.

0:35:540:35:57

Robyn, please.

0:35:570:35:58

No, no, no, no! There is no, "Robyn, please."

0:35:580:36:02

Hourly feeds throughout the night, colic, sickness, a stoma,

0:36:020:36:06

a house fire!

0:36:060:36:08

You do not get to waltz into her life having skipped all of that.

0:36:080:36:12

Robyn, Robyn...

0:36:190:36:20

KNOCK ON DOOR

0:36:230:36:24

How's the patient doing, all right?

0:36:270:36:29

OK, all right, shouldn't you be talking by now?

0:36:300:36:33

-LABOURED:

-I sound thick.

0:36:370:36:39

You sound a great deal better you did than last time I was here.

0:36:410:36:43

Yeah, OK.

0:36:450:36:46

There she is, the little infant.

0:36:500:36:52

A few weeks now.

0:37:050:37:06

Till?

0:37:090:37:10

We?

0:37:250:37:26

No, I think, when you finally decide to "surprise" Robyn,

0:37:260:37:29

I don't think I'm going to be anywhere nearby.

0:37:290:37:32

No, no, no, I'm not a gambling man.

0:37:400:37:42

All right, then, ten.

0:37:420:37:45

Huh?

0:37:450:37:46

That count, does it?

0:37:510:37:53

You must have known how she was going to react.

0:38:030:38:06

Get me over the line, mate, come on.

0:38:060:38:09

I wasn't supposed to be here when you tried.

0:38:090:38:11

Oh, yeah, good point... £10, cough up.

0:38:110:38:14

Hang on.

0:38:150:38:16

Something good might as well come out of today.

0:38:160:38:18

Didn't I get you some free brain surgery?

0:38:200:38:23

All right, then, I'll call Zsa Zsa, and tell her you're trying

0:38:230:38:26

to wangle yourself out of a bet, then, shall I?

0:38:260:38:28

Do what you please. Absolutely unbelievable.

0:38:280:38:31

Oi, where are you going?

0:38:370:38:39

Cheek.

0:38:410:38:42

I have now officially seen it all.

0:38:470:38:49

-Shall we leave them to it?

-Yeah.

0:39:070:39:09

Are you welling up?

0:39:160:39:18

-What?

-Let me see.

0:39:180:39:20

Get off.

0:39:200:39:21

KNOCK ON DOOR

0:39:210:39:22

Dylan. How long have you known?

0:39:260:39:29

Let's save the recriminations, David,

0:39:290:39:31

-I need to speak to Robyn, really.

-Answer him and you can.

0:39:310:39:34

Since Charlie's stag.

0:39:360:39:38

What do you want, Dylan?

0:39:400:39:42

I understand that you don't want to speak to Glen.

0:39:420:39:45

But some time ago, he gave me this.

0:39:450:39:47

It's probably worth a look.

0:39:470:39:50

Look, I already know, he wants to hold his daughter.

0:39:500:39:53

Yes. I believe he does, yes.

0:39:530:39:55

Well, who was there to hold me through all of this?

0:39:550:39:57

Everyone here.

0:39:570:40:00

Glen only had me, poor thing.

0:40:000:40:02

Fine.

0:40:050:40:06

So...it's up to your mum when you see this, she'll know.

0:40:150:40:21

Um...

0:40:210:40:22

I'm about to have an operation which I guess is scary...

0:40:220:40:26

..and there's a big chance I won't survive.

0:40:270:40:30

But the truth is, even if it is successful,

0:40:300:40:34

I won't be around when you're a teenager, a young woman,

0:40:340:40:39

so this is worth doing, either way.

0:40:390:40:42

But before we start... I need to speak to your mum.

0:40:430:40:47

I've got the world's biggest apology to make to her.

0:40:470:40:50

Can I have some privacy, please?

0:40:530:40:55

-Yes, of course.

-Yes, yes.

0:40:550:40:57

Dylan, Dylan, you knew when I was ill?

0:41:020:41:05

-Yes.

-You knew when we were in France?

-Yes.

-And...

0:41:050:41:09

I knew, David, all right? For God's sake, drop it.

0:41:090:41:12

Ow!

0:41:130:41:14

HE SCREAMS

0:41:140:41:16

Ah, my knee!

0:41:180:41:19

Have they told you how long your knee's going to take to heal?

0:41:210:41:24

The baby will be walking before me.

0:41:240:41:27

Well, take it from me, Glen, that is not going to help.

0:41:270:41:30

Go home, Dylan, you've never really cared, so you can stop now.

0:41:310:41:35

-Is that right?

-Yes.

0:41:350:41:36

They all think I'm dead and they're getting along just fine...

0:41:380:41:42

-..let's just leave them to it.

-Fine.

0:41:420:41:45

The coin was tails, by the way.

0:41:450:41:47

-Was it?

-Yes, I couldn't even listen when the universe was trying

0:41:470:41:50

-to tell me something.

-You know, Glen, I'm a man of simple pleasures.

0:41:500:41:54

I don't need much, just a quiet boat, a dog, a good book.

0:41:540:41:59

But since meeting you, and finding you in your little hole

0:41:590:42:03

there are two additional things that I need.

0:42:030:42:05

I need to have a better relationship with my mentor,

0:42:050:42:07

and I need to see you reunited with your family.

0:42:070:42:09

For the sake of the baby, for the sake of Robyn, for your sake.

0:42:090:42:12

But also for mine.

0:42:120:42:14

Why?

0:42:140:42:15

Why? Because after everything that the universe has thrown at you

0:42:150:42:19

after everything you've had to put up with,

0:42:190:42:21

do you know what I think of, when I think of you?

0:42:210:42:23

A big grin.

0:42:230:42:25

A soppy great Welshman laughing in the face of death

0:42:250:42:29

and I would like to see that rewarded.

0:42:290:42:31

I would like to know that, just for once, the universe can be fair.

0:42:310:42:35

That's If, isn't it? Do you know If?

0:42:360:42:38

"If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew

0:42:380:42:42

"To serve your turn long after they are gone

0:42:420:42:44

"And so hold on when there is nothing in you

0:42:440:42:47

"Except the will which says to them 'Hold on!'"

0:42:470:42:49

-Hm?

-Wow.

0:42:490:42:51

Are you a poet?

0:42:530:42:54

No, it's Kipling, Rudyard Kipling.

0:42:540:42:57

Then I like his poetry and his cakes.

0:43:000:43:02

Never had you down as a motivational speaker.

0:43:130:43:16

Yeah, I'm not, I know someone that is.

0:43:160:43:19

Put your back into it, boy!

0:43:190:43:21

I'll give £50 to charity for that T-shirt. Unwashed.

0:43:230:43:28

Don't make me hang up on you again.

0:43:300:43:32

You do that again, I will fly over the pond and put you over my knee.

0:43:330:43:37

Fixed your broomstick, have you?

0:43:380:43:41

£100.

0:43:410:43:42

-Deal.

-Keep going.

0:43:430:43:44

The sweatier the better.

0:43:460:43:48

Listen, mate...

0:43:570:43:59

I just want to say I feel terrible for not letting you know.

0:44:000:44:04

You were always there for me...

0:44:040:44:06

and even though you went a bit...

0:44:070:44:10

It's all right. I've got something for you.

0:44:130:44:16

Why does everybody keep walking out?

0:44:190:44:22

Come on, chop, chop.

0:44:220:44:23

Just a couple more moments, there's two more...

0:44:280:44:30

It's all right.

0:44:300:44:32

Thought you may as well get one wear out of it.

0:44:550:44:57

Hello.

0:45:060:45:07

Bo, bo, bo!

0:45:100:45:11

-WHISPERS:

-I told you we'd both make it.

0:45:140:45:17

Shall we begin?

0:45:210:45:22

Yes.

0:45:230:45:24

You've still got a long way to go with me yet.

0:45:290:45:32

Would the Godparents like to join us, please?

0:45:350:45:39

A warm welcome to you all, but especially to Charlotte.

0:45:450:45:51

I'm not a religious man, but, if God is real,

0:45:550:46:00

then he owes me and this is what I want from him -

0:46:000:46:04

for you to never be visited by such tragedy,

0:46:040:46:09

for you to be happy, healthy...

0:46:090:46:13

..content, in whatever you do.

0:46:140:46:17

But, most importantly, don't be like me.

0:46:200:46:23

Face your fears,

0:46:250:46:28

accept help and trust those who love you.

0:46:280:46:31

Never, ever think you are not worth it.

0:46:320:46:36

Never.
