0:00:45 > 0:00:48TRANSLATED FROM RUSSIAN
0:01:45 > 0:01:48Elliot! What brings you to AAU?
0:01:48 > 0:01:51- What time do you finish? - About ten minutes.
0:01:51 > 0:01:55I need to ask you something rather important.
0:01:55 > 0:01:57But this is your job. You are Holby Santa.
0:01:57 > 0:02:00I was. But I'll be out of the country, so...
0:02:00 > 0:02:02I'm passing on the mantle to you.
0:02:03 > 0:02:07Jewish Santa? I'm deeply touched!
0:02:07 > 0:02:09- Good, cheers.- Cheers.
0:02:10 > 0:02:12So where are you off to?
0:02:13 > 0:02:15I've been emailed by this doctor,
0:02:15 > 0:02:18begging me to give a lecture on the Hope valve.
0:02:18 > 0:02:23It's all very flattering, so that is what I'm doing tomorrow morning.
0:02:23 > 0:02:25On Christmas Eve?
0:02:25 > 0:02:29Where I'm going, Christmas doesn't even start until January the 6th.
0:02:31 > 0:02:34# Have yourself a merry little Christmas
0:02:34 > 0:02:38# Let your heart be light... #
0:02:38 > 0:02:41- Why are you still here? - Waiting for a cab.
0:02:41 > 0:02:43What have you got to be so happy about?
0:02:43 > 0:02:46I have just been crowned Holby Santa,
0:02:46 > 0:02:48and as of tomorrow, Daniel and I
0:02:48 > 0:02:53have two full weeks of Yuletide bonding to look forward to while Chrissie's off on her honeymoon.
0:02:54 > 0:02:55You haven't heard then?
0:02:55 > 0:02:57Heard what?
0:02:58 > 0:03:02Hi, Chrissie, I've just heard... about you and Dan.
0:03:02 > 0:03:07If there's anything I can do, OK?
0:03:07 > 0:03:10Anything. You know where I am.
0:03:35 > 0:03:39Mr Hope? Mr Hope?
0:03:39 > 0:03:41Welcome to Kiev.
0:03:41 > 0:03:43Dr Tereschenko?
0:03:43 > 0:03:45Please, I prefer it if you call me Nadiya.
0:03:45 > 0:03:49How did you know it was me?
0:03:50 > 0:03:52This is your first time in Ukraine?
0:03:52 > 0:03:55Yes. Never been further east than Germany before.
0:03:55 > 0:03:58And this is our transportation.
0:03:58 > 0:04:00Right. Splendid.
0:04:00 > 0:04:02Company car. Comes with the job.
0:04:04 > 0:04:07Thank you. How do I say "thank you"?
0:04:07 > 0:04:09- Dyakuyu.- Dja-koo-woo.
0:04:09 > 0:04:11Great. You're fluent already.
0:04:19 > 0:04:23Did I fall through a hole in the space time continuum
0:04:23 > 0:04:25and emerge on the 6th January?
0:04:25 > 0:04:26My plans have changed.
0:04:26 > 0:04:29I heard. It's excellent news.
0:04:29 > 0:04:33We're in dire need another pair of hands to staunch the unceasing flow of human misery.
0:04:33 > 0:04:38David Boggan - unfortunate name, he thinks he has appendicitis,
0:04:38 > 0:04:42I think he has the after-effects of his office Christmas party. Bed six. Have fun.
0:04:52 > 0:04:54I didn't expect to see you in here today.
0:04:54 > 0:04:57What else should I be doing?
0:04:57 > 0:05:00Are you sure coming in was a good idea?
0:05:00 > 0:05:05My job is the one thing I know I can do. Even if everything else is a complete disaster.
0:05:05 > 0:05:09This is one part of my life I know I can make a success of.
0:05:09 > 0:05:13The students are very excited to hear you talk.
0:05:13 > 0:05:15They want to know all about the Hope valve.
0:05:15 > 0:05:18- You've brought one with you? - Of course.
0:05:18 > 0:05:22I've been polishing my lecture over the last few days. I hope it'll be of some interest.
0:05:22 > 0:05:25I assure you, Mr Hope, it will be a real privilege for us
0:05:25 > 0:05:28to hear about your important work in the United Kingdom.
0:05:28 > 0:05:31I don't know about that. Is it always this cold?
0:05:31 > 0:05:32I'm afraid - this time of year.
0:05:32 > 0:05:36So, using muscle taken from the patient's thigh,
0:05:36 > 0:05:38we wrap the valve in the fascia.
0:05:38 > 0:05:41The advantage of using the patient's own tissue...
0:05:41 > 0:05:43Sorry, yes. I'll let you...
0:05:43 > 0:05:46HE TRANSLATES INTO UKRAINIAN
0:05:54 > 0:05:59The advantage of using the patient's own tissue is that the valve
0:05:59 > 0:06:03will last longer, and the risk of infection is less.
0:06:03 > 0:06:07HE TRANSLATES
0:06:13 > 0:06:17So in conclusion, it only rests me to thank
0:06:17 > 0:06:22Doctor Tereschenko for inviting me to give this little talk.
0:06:22 > 0:06:24Chokoyoyo.
0:06:24 > 0:06:27- #Dyakuyu.- Dyakuyu!
0:06:27 > 0:06:30POLITE APPLAUSE
0:06:37 > 0:06:42Thank you so much, Mr Hope. That was absolutely fascinating.
0:06:42 > 0:06:46I must say, I had hoped for perhaps a slightly larger audience.
0:06:46 > 0:06:50I must apologise, but being so close to Christmas...
0:06:50 > 0:06:53I thought Christmas didn't start here until January 6th?
0:06:53 > 0:06:56For the young people, it starts now and it carries on until the New Year.
0:06:56 > 0:07:00I'm afraid your lecture could not compete with zapoy.
0:07:00 > 0:07:02Zapoy?
0:07:02 > 0:07:05It means losing two, three days, maybe a week, to drinking.
0:07:05 > 0:07:10Some cliches about us Eastern Europeans, I'm afraid they're true.
0:07:10 > 0:07:12No matter.
0:07:12 > 0:07:17But since you're here, maybe I could give you a tour of the hospital?
0:07:17 > 0:07:20I have a patient I would really value your opinion on.
0:07:21 > 0:07:25Any particular reason you keep staring at Chrissie?
0:07:25 > 0:07:26Fascinating case.
0:07:26 > 0:07:28Fascinating how?
0:07:28 > 0:07:31Freud's theory of psychodynamics. It's all about cathexis.
0:07:31 > 0:07:33Come again?
0:07:33 > 0:07:37Cathexis is the process of putting all of your mental or emotional energy into one thing.
0:07:37 > 0:07:39How does that apply to her?
0:07:39 > 0:07:44She was about to make a lifelong commitment to that orthopod, then she made a last minute swerve.
0:07:44 > 0:07:46In theory, she should be falling apart now,
0:07:46 > 0:07:49but she's throwing herself into her work.
0:07:49 > 0:07:50Classic case of denial.
0:07:50 > 0:07:53She just needs cheering up.
0:07:55 > 0:07:56Cheering up?
0:08:00 > 0:08:02I am Sacha Claus.
0:08:02 > 0:08:07And it is my sacred duty to spread joy and goodwill to all.
0:08:07 > 0:08:10It's Christmas Eve on the Acute Admissions Unit.
0:08:10 > 0:08:12It's gloomy as hell and I like it that way.
0:08:12 > 0:08:16With all due respect, Mr Hemingway, I look forward to proving you wrong.
0:08:16 > 0:08:18This is Jim Fortune, pain to the left hand
0:08:18 > 0:08:21and abdomen with possible internal bleed.
0:08:21 > 0:08:23It's a gift to us from the ED,
0:08:23 > 0:08:26apparently there's no room at the inn.
0:08:26 > 0:08:30Santa, you're a stupid, fat GIT!
0:08:30 > 0:08:35Mr Fortune, have you by any chance been drinking?
0:08:35 > 0:08:37One tiny drink.
0:08:37 > 0:08:39Any idea what happened?
0:08:39 > 0:08:40Threw himself off a bridge.
0:08:42 > 0:08:43Ho-ho-ho.
0:08:46 > 0:08:48Are these...?
0:08:48 > 0:08:52You must have seen sterilisation drums before?
0:08:52 > 0:08:57Yes, but not since my student days. They're rather wonderful.
0:08:57 > 0:09:01For you, maybe. For us, it would be more wonderful to have brand new equipment.
0:09:01 > 0:09:03Yes. Yes, of course.
0:09:03 > 0:09:06It's OK, Mr Hope.
0:09:06 > 0:09:08We know very well what we do not have.
0:09:08 > 0:09:11Two kilometres up the road is a private hospital with all
0:09:11 > 0:09:16the latest equipment, but here, we are at the mercy of the state.
0:09:16 > 0:09:18Well, I can relate to that to some degree.
0:09:18 > 0:09:21I've spent my entire career in the National Health Service.
0:09:21 > 0:09:24And you were never tempted by the big bucks in private medicine?
0:09:24 > 0:09:26Honestly, no.
0:09:26 > 0:09:30I've always believed that the best medical care should be a right,
0:09:30 > 0:09:32not a privilege.
0:09:32 > 0:09:33It should.
0:09:44 > 0:09:49- What's going on?- He's trying to steal from us.- He's just a child. - He's a street child. Look at him.
0:09:49 > 0:09:52He's filthy. He's probably on drugs too.
0:10:08 > 0:10:13- Let go. - You don't understand, Mr Hope. - He's in pain. You're hurting him.
0:10:26 > 0:10:27What's he saying?
0:10:27 > 0:10:29He says you look like Did Moroz.
0:10:30 > 0:10:33He's like our Santa Claus.
0:10:33 > 0:10:36- Ho-ho-ho.- Ho-ho-ho.
0:10:51 > 0:10:52Good boy.
0:10:55 > 0:10:58If the tumour is pressing on his optic nerve,
0:10:58 > 0:11:02- he risks losing sight in this eye. So...- I will stop you there, Mr Hope.
0:11:02 > 0:11:04We cannot treat him here.
0:11:04 > 0:11:05Why not?
0:11:05 > 0:11:07The boy's life is not in danger.
0:11:07 > 0:11:11- We don't have the equipment. We don't have the resources. - But it's a State Hospital.
0:11:11 > 0:11:15Bed space, medicine, they cost money.
0:11:15 > 0:11:18- So that's it?- That is our system.
0:11:19 > 0:11:23Now, this patient I told you about.
0:11:23 > 0:11:25His condition is serious. It is urgent.
0:11:25 > 0:11:27I have... grave concerns.
0:11:27 > 0:11:30Right, but he stays here.
0:11:30 > 0:11:32At least until we get back.
0:11:36 > 0:11:39Please. After you.
0:11:41 > 0:11:46- It would be a lot easier If you could just keep still.- Why don't you shut up and leave me alone?
0:11:46 > 0:11:49We need to assess you so you don't die on us.
0:11:49 > 0:11:53Don't you get it? That's the point! I want to die.
0:11:53 > 0:11:55- No, you don't.- Oh, really?
0:11:55 > 0:11:59You've got a special thing, have you, to look inside my head?
0:11:59 > 0:12:02Got a special thingummy wotsit that can look in here?
0:12:02 > 0:12:05I tell you what, this is a very busy department,
0:12:05 > 0:12:09and Mr Levy nor myself have time to waste on self-pitying drunkards.
0:12:09 > 0:12:12So what we're going to do, we're going to put you on a drip
0:12:12 > 0:12:16and if you're very lucky, we'll come back try this again.
0:12:16 > 0:12:19- Good for you. - You sure that's a good idea?
0:12:19 > 0:12:23What's the worst that can happen? He dies on us? That'll free up another bed.
0:12:23 > 0:12:24Can't we send him back to the ED?
0:12:24 > 0:12:28Have you ever seen an Emergency Department on Christmas Eve?
0:12:28 > 0:12:31It's like something by Hieronymous Bosch.
0:12:31 > 0:12:35How come I only ever seem to understand one word in three that comes out of your mouth?
0:12:40 > 0:12:43Right, thank you, Lev.
0:12:48 > 0:12:50When did he have the pulmonary homograft?
0:12:50 > 0:12:53When he was 24 - fifteen years ago.
0:12:53 > 0:12:56- It's now calcified. - So what would you suggest?
0:12:56 > 0:12:59It needs to be replaced and as soon as possible.
0:12:59 > 0:13:04It's a very risky procedure, but his only option, I'm afraid.
0:13:04 > 0:13:05I already know all of that.
0:13:05 > 0:13:08Then why did you need my opinion?
0:13:08 > 0:13:12You said it yourself, his only chance now is a valve replacement.
0:13:12 > 0:13:17Perhaps one such as the Hope valve?
0:13:18 > 0:13:23Yes, but I'd be wary of a surgeon who wasn't fully trained in fitting the valve, even attempting to...
0:13:23 > 0:13:27You misunderstand me. I wasn't talking about one of our surgeons.
0:13:29 > 0:13:30I can give you some money.
0:13:30 > 0:13:36- I'm sure it's not what you are used to, but I can make it worth your while.- It's not about the money.
0:13:38 > 0:13:41You didn't ask me here to give a lecture, did you?
0:13:42 > 0:13:44Who is he?
0:13:46 > 0:13:48He is my husband.
0:13:51 > 0:13:54Right. Thanks for nothing.
0:13:56 > 0:14:00- Everything OK?- Actually, no. The stupid airline won't give me a refund on these tickets.
0:14:00 > 0:14:02What tickets?
0:14:02 > 0:14:07The honeymoon tickets! I've got two tickets to Australia. What am I supposed do with them?
0:14:07 > 0:14:09Maybe you should just go.
0:14:09 > 0:14:12I can't go on a honeymoon for the wedding that I called off.
0:14:12 > 0:14:14This whole thing is turning into a nightmare.
0:14:14 > 0:14:18No. It's not. It's fine. Leave it with me. I'll sort it out.
0:14:18 > 0:14:19Honestly.
0:14:19 > 0:14:23All right, details and the times and everything's there.
0:14:23 > 0:14:25What would I do without you?
0:14:27 > 0:14:32Hey! Hey! You forgotten about me? I'm completely sober now. Look!
0:14:34 > 0:14:37Oh, dear, oh, dear, oh, dear.
0:14:38 > 0:14:43- What?- Now Bone Cruncher's off the scene, you're not going to start mooning after her again, are you?
0:14:43 > 0:14:46- I'm just concerned about my friend, that's all.- Good.
0:14:46 > 0:14:51Cos I'd hope you'd have more self respect than to go chasing after another guy's cast-offs.
0:14:51 > 0:14:53Do you ever stop?
0:14:58 > 0:15:01You brought me here under false pretences.
0:15:01 > 0:15:03Why couldn't you just tell me the truth?
0:15:03 > 0:15:05And would you have come?
0:15:06 > 0:15:08You think I want to do this?
0:15:08 > 0:15:09You think I have no pride?
0:15:12 > 0:15:16Look, I would like to help you, but I've only ever done this procedure
0:15:16 > 0:15:22with state of the art equipment and a specially trained surgical team.
0:15:22 > 0:15:27- It would be reckless, dangerous, for me to even try... - His heart could fail at any moment.
0:15:27 > 0:15:29You are supposed to be the best.
0:15:29 > 0:15:33You are supposed to be the one who can help him.
0:15:34 > 0:15:35Where's he going?
0:15:35 > 0:15:38Who knows? Back on the street.
0:15:38 > 0:15:39Stop him.
0:15:39 > 0:15:41Why?
0:15:41 > 0:15:45I will help your husband, if you help the boy.
0:15:51 > 0:15:52Dyakuyu.
0:15:52 > 0:15:55As her doctor, I consider flying in her current emotional state
0:15:55 > 0:15:57to be extremely inadvisable.
0:15:57 > 0:16:01And as I've said before, I'm very happy to write a note to that effect...
0:16:04 > 0:16:08Yes, right. Well, thank you anyway.
0:16:11 > 0:16:15It was something I'd been thinking about for a while.
0:16:15 > 0:16:19Last night, I had a few drinks. Then a few more.
0:16:19 > 0:16:22Then that old black and white film came on. The one with James Stewart.
0:16:22 > 0:16:28And he's standing on the bridge, saying he wished he'd never been born,
0:16:28 > 0:16:31and I thought, yeah, that pretty much sums it up for me.
0:16:31 > 0:16:34Come on, Jim. Things can't be that bad.
0:16:34 > 0:16:39At the start of last year, I lost both my parents within a week of each other.
0:16:39 > 0:16:41Then my wife left me,
0:16:41 > 0:16:46and the judge gave her full custody of my two small sons.
0:16:46 > 0:16:49So, yeah, actually, Santa, things ARE that bad.
0:16:49 > 0:16:51They couldn't get much worse.
0:16:51 > 0:16:52Actually, they could.
0:16:52 > 0:16:56Despite throwing yourself off a bridge, you've escaped with just a few bruises
0:16:56 > 0:16:57and a fractured wrist.
0:16:57 > 0:17:03Should have picked a higher bridge! I'm such a total failure, I can't even top myself properly.
0:17:03 > 0:17:05Mr Levy, Can I have a word?
0:17:10 > 0:17:15This might help with your Cheer Up Chrissie campaign. Depending on the contents, of course.
0:17:15 > 0:17:20- It's her results. For the Nurse Practitioner's Course.- Perfect.
0:17:34 > 0:17:38They're bringing Lev now. Are you ready, Mr Hope?
0:17:38 > 0:17:42This bypass machine isn't working, can we get another one, please?
0:17:42 > 0:17:45We don't have another one.
0:17:45 > 0:17:48I'm sorry, I can't continue without a working bypass machine.
0:17:48 > 0:17:51We don't have time to delay the operation.
0:17:51 > 0:17:55- If anything were to go wrong, I would be guilty of manslaughter. - Please, Mr Hope.
0:17:57 > 0:18:00I'm sorry, Chrissie.
0:18:00 > 0:18:04And I know right now, everything seems, you know,
0:18:04 > 0:18:09pretty hopeless, but all will be well. OK, I know it in my bones.
0:18:09 > 0:18:13- You've just got to have a little faith. - Thanks for trying, Sacha.
0:18:13 > 0:18:16But I don't believe in happy endings any more.
0:18:21 > 0:18:23It needs a new roller pump.
0:18:23 > 0:18:26It's Christmas Eve across most of Europe. Where exactly...
0:18:26 > 0:18:29My first thought was that private hospital you mentioned.
0:18:29 > 0:18:32- They don't allow equipment to leave the premises.- Exactly.
0:18:32 > 0:18:36So, I called in a favour with an acquaintance of mine in Hamburg.
0:18:36 > 0:18:41Midday tomorrow, I'm going to pick one up from the Post Office. What about...?
0:18:42 > 0:18:45- I've left messages with a colleague of mine...- Nadiya.
0:18:45 > 0:18:48There is no hurry with him. His treatment can wait.
0:18:48 > 0:18:52Doctor Tereschenko, I will be leaving here in three days' time.
0:18:52 > 0:18:56- I need to know that he'll be taken care of. - It's Christmas, maybe he's away...
0:18:56 > 0:18:59You haven't phoned anyone, have you? We agreed!
0:18:59 > 0:19:03My husband is dying. I would have agreed to anything.
0:19:03 > 0:19:06There are thousands of heart surgeons. Why me?
0:19:06 > 0:19:10How did you even know I existed?
0:19:16 > 0:19:17Hello, Frieda.
0:19:18 > 0:19:23Thanks for everything, Doc. For putting up with me.
0:19:23 > 0:19:25Merry Christmas, Jim.
0:19:25 > 0:19:27Have a good one.
0:19:27 > 0:19:30Well, not much chance of that, my boys don't want to see me.
0:19:30 > 0:19:35Thank you. I don't blame them. I can't afford to get them anything.
0:19:38 > 0:19:42Hey, come on, things can't be that bad!
0:19:42 > 0:19:45What you've got here is another chance.
0:19:45 > 0:19:48You're going to go home, you're going to shave,
0:19:48 > 0:19:50you're going to put on a clean shirt,
0:19:50 > 0:19:53and you're going to treat tomorrow as day one of the new improved Jim.
0:19:53 > 0:19:55Do you know what?
0:19:58 > 0:20:02Surprise them. Make a grand gesture.
0:20:05 > 0:20:07Give them a Christmas to remember.
0:20:08 > 0:20:11Yeah, well. Maybe... Maybe I will.
0:20:12 > 0:20:13THEY LAUGH
0:20:13 > 0:20:16Thanks, Doc.
0:20:16 > 0:20:18I don't know what else I can tell you.
0:20:18 > 0:20:21I gave her your name because her husband needs your help.
0:20:22 > 0:20:23Why didn't you just call me?
0:20:23 > 0:20:25It's not that simple.
0:20:25 > 0:20:27Nothing about this situation is simple.
0:20:29 > 0:20:31It's all completely baffling, quite frankly.
0:20:31 > 0:20:34You disappeared from the hospital two months ago,
0:20:34 > 0:20:36and now I wind up embroiled with you
0:20:36 > 0:20:39and this Tereschenko woman in this bizarre situation.
0:20:39 > 0:20:42You are going to help him, though, right?
0:20:42 > 0:20:44Well, that all rather depends.
0:20:44 > 0:20:46Er... on what?
0:20:46 > 0:20:48On whether I get the right equipment,
0:20:48 > 0:20:51and whether she fulfils her side of the deal.
0:20:51 > 0:20:52What deal?
0:20:52 > 0:20:58There's this child. Misha. He has a large, bony tumour on the side of his face which needs surgery.
0:20:58 > 0:21:02I've told Nadiya that I won't help her husband unless she helps him.
0:21:04 > 0:21:06How do you know this woman, Frieda?
0:21:06 > 0:21:08Lev was my tutor.
0:21:09 > 0:21:12He's a good man. You have to help him.
0:21:12 > 0:21:14Who's going to help the boy?
0:21:14 > 0:21:16No-one is going to help him.
0:21:16 > 0:21:20Unless you find a plastic surgeon for free on Christmas Eve.
0:21:20 > 0:21:22Good luck.
0:21:22 > 0:21:25All right, I've got to go. I'm going to lose my job.
0:21:25 > 0:21:29- Somebody will bring your bill in just a second.- Frieda?
0:21:29 > 0:21:31No.
0:21:31 > 0:21:34No, no, no. I completely understand.
0:21:34 > 0:21:37Yes, and a Merry Christmas to you, too.

0:22:04 > 0:22:05You know, it's fine.
0:22:05 > 0:22:08We agreed in the divorce that we'd take it in turns, so...

0:22:43 > 0:22:46Excuse me, I just came to check on Mr Elgood, a mitral valve?

0:22:49 > 0:22:51So you're going to be here for a while then?

0:23:45 > 0:23:49Man, it is freezing here! What are we, like, three miles from Siberia?
0:23:49 > 0:23:52- I hope you've brought some warm clothing. - Elliot, I was on my way to Florida.

0:24:16 > 0:24:20No. I can't let you do that. You've been looking forward to this for months.
0:24:20 > 0:24:21Seriously.
0:24:21 > 0:24:25The most important thing to me is that you have a happy Christmas.
0:24:25 > 0:24:28- But you've...- Chrissie, the decision is made, OK?
0:24:28 > 0:24:31There'll be plenty more Christmases.
0:24:35 > 0:24:39There is an obvious solution. I could bring him to you.
0:24:39 > 0:24:41Are you sure?
0:24:41 > 0:24:43I'm a terrible, terrible cook.
0:24:44 > 0:24:49OK, I guarantee the turkey will somehow be both dry and undercooked.
0:24:49 > 0:24:51Sounds perfect.

0:29:37 > 0:29:41- You know you're really not fooling me, Michael. - What's that supposed to mean?
0:29:41 > 0:29:45You screwed up, publicly and humiliatingly.
0:29:45 > 0:29:49You nearly ruined everything for a lot of people, including me.
0:29:49 > 0:29:52And even though your first instinct was to take the coward's option
0:29:52 > 0:29:53and run away...
0:29:53 > 0:29:55Coward's option?
0:29:55 > 0:29:59I think you still have a lot to prove to yourself.
0:29:59 > 0:30:01That's why you agreed to come.

0:30:54 > 0:30:56Oh, God, he did.

0:31:03 > 0:31:05Oh?

0:31:13 > 0:31:15Mm...
0:31:15 > 0:31:18I think the best thing is for me to do is to get out of here.

0:31:52 > 0:31:55Hey, lady, believe me, right now, I would settle for just hygienic.
0:31:55 > 0:31:58You're expecting me to crack open a kid's skull with no CT, no MRI,

0:33:45 > 0:33:47I'm going to go to the airport
0:33:47 > 0:33:49and catch the first flight back to civilisation.
0:33:49 > 0:33:55- So you're going to run away? That's your solution to everything, isn't it?- No, I am not running away.
0:33:55 > 0:33:57You know what this procedure involves.
0:33:57 > 0:34:01I have to peel back the skin on this kid's head and rebuild his skull.
0:34:01 > 0:34:06You want me to do that with a team that speaks no English, who I've never worked with before?

0:34:08 > 0:34:10Michael, what if there were someone here?

0:34:17 > 0:34:18What?
0:34:18 > 0:34:21- I don't want to see her. I don't want her in my hospital. - What's going on here?

0:34:56 > 0:35:00- Elliot called me. - OK. And you came? To Kiev?
0:35:00 > 0:35:03Ah. Because it's full of skinny women
0:35:03 > 0:35:06and men in even shinier suits than you.

0:35:20 > 0:35:23Yes, I do. I'm asking you to translate stuff. Big wow.

0:35:25 > 0:35:28- What is the big deal? - I can't go back there.
0:35:28 > 0:35:31- Where?- To the hospital, I cannot go back there.
0:35:31 > 0:35:33Why not? What is it with you and Nadiya?
0:35:33 > 0:35:36- What is she, an ex-lover or something?- Please, don't.
0:35:36 > 0:35:39What could you possibly have done that is so bad?

0:36:23 > 0:36:26And if I can't find the right size,
0:36:26 > 0:36:27I make it the right size.

0:36:37 > 0:36:39It is not vital, you said.
0:36:40 > 0:36:41It could be.
0:36:41 > 0:36:45My husband could live. But because you are scared...
0:36:45 > 0:36:47I have done everything I can to help your husband,
0:36:47 > 0:36:51even though you've lied to me, even though you're doing everything you can
0:36:51 > 0:36:53to obstruct Misha's treatment.
0:36:53 > 0:36:54I am not obstructing.
0:36:54 > 0:36:58Then why don't you want Frieda Petrenko to help?
0:36:58 > 0:36:59I have my reasons.
0:36:59 > 0:37:02What? What possible reasons could you have?
0:37:08 > 0:37:10Frieda was my best friend.
0:37:12 > 0:37:15She was like a little sister to me.
0:37:16 > 0:37:21My daughter, Katya, was born with the same condition as her father.
0:37:21 > 0:37:24One night, Frieda was the junior doctor on duty.
0:37:24 > 0:37:27Me and Lev had gone home to get some sleep.
0:37:30 > 0:37:32That was the night Katya died.
0:37:36 > 0:37:43When we got back here... Frieda has just...gone.
0:37:45 > 0:37:50She didn't even try to say sorry. Or explain to us.
0:37:51 > 0:37:54- She didn't even care enough to... - That's not fair.
0:37:54 > 0:37:59The way she speaks about Lev, it's clear that she...she does care.
0:37:59 > 0:38:01Does she?
0:38:02 > 0:38:05If it wasn't for Frieda, I wouldn't be here.
0:38:08 > 0:38:10Thank you, Mr Hope...
0:38:13 > 0:38:15..but I need to get on.
0:38:35 > 0:38:38Chrissie told me what happened last night.
0:38:39 > 0:38:41What did she tell you for?
0:38:41 > 0:38:44- I was here. Babysitting Mini-Me. - Right.
0:38:44 > 0:38:50If I'd humiliated myself that comprehensively, I'd think about switching hemispheres too.
0:38:50 > 0:38:53What do you mean, switch hemispheres?
0:38:54 > 0:38:56I thought she would have told you.
0:38:56 > 0:38:59She's going to Australia? Today?
0:38:59 > 0:39:04She said she was thinking about quitting and starting again. I told her it was a good idea.
0:39:04 > 0:39:07- What did you tell her that for? - Because it is.
0:39:07 > 0:39:10If nothing else, to stop you mooning around after her.
0:39:10 > 0:39:13She's taking my child to the other side of the world
0:39:13 > 0:39:16and you don't see why I might not be too thrilled about the idea?
0:39:16 > 0:39:18Just give it a couple of weeks and she'll be back.
0:39:18 > 0:39:21What if it isn't just a couple of weeks?
0:39:21 > 0:39:23What if she doesn't come back?
0:39:23 > 0:39:27You all remember Mr Fortune? Back by popular demand from the ED.
0:39:27 > 0:39:31Mr Fortune has superficial burns to the backs of his legs
0:39:31 > 0:39:34- and his feet, smoke inhalation, and rib fractures. - What the hell happened?
0:39:34 > 0:39:39Decided to surprise the boys by playing Santa Claus.
0:39:39 > 0:39:41He let himself in the house and hid up the chimney.
0:39:41 > 0:39:43- You must be Mrs Fortune? - I used to be.
0:39:43 > 0:39:48I wanted to surprise them, give them a bit of Christmas magic.
0:39:48 > 0:39:50Like you said, a grand gesture.
0:39:50 > 0:39:53How was I to know she was going to light the fire?
0:39:53 > 0:39:54So you put him up to all this.
0:39:54 > 0:39:59- The boys are traumatised. - Do you know what? Your ex-husband was at such a low ebb yesterday
0:39:59 > 0:40:00he tried to jump off a bridge.
0:40:00 > 0:40:04I was trying to stop him doing it again, trying to do something nice.
0:40:04 > 0:40:07But I've learned my lesson. I see where being nice gets you.
0:40:07 > 0:40:09Stomach's distended. Get him into theatre.
0:41:25 > 0:41:30- You were a junior doctor, you should never have been left in charge. - But I was.
0:41:30 > 0:41:31And they trusted me.
0:41:31 > 0:41:34And I failed them and I failed Katya.
0:41:36 > 0:41:38So why'd you come back here?
0:41:38 > 0:41:41My mother heard about Lev so she called me.
0:41:41 > 0:41:44- I got on the first plane I could. - And then?
0:41:44 > 0:41:47I wrote a letter trying to explain why I ran away and...
0:41:47 > 0:41:52eventually Nadiya replied. She and Lev did not want to see me.
0:41:52 > 0:41:54So I wrote back with just two lines - Mr Hope's name
0:41:54 > 0:41:57and his e-mail address.
0:41:57 > 0:41:59And I promised I will not bother her again.
0:42:01 > 0:42:03So why are you still here a month later?
0:42:03 > 0:42:06How can I leave before I know he's better?
0:42:07 > 0:42:12- Come with me. Please. - Have you just heard a word I said?
0:42:12 > 0:42:16- Just come to the hospital.- I can't.
0:42:20 > 0:42:23You know, I've done a lot of things that I'm not proud of lately.
0:42:23 > 0:42:26And I've caused a lot of people a lot of pain.
0:42:26 > 0:42:28I need to help this kid.
0:42:28 > 0:42:30I think you do too.
0:42:33 > 0:42:36How's he doing?
0:42:36 > 0:42:37He's going to be fine.
0:42:38 > 0:42:40Thank you.
0:42:46 > 0:42:50I don't know what he was thinking, what was he trying to prove?
0:42:50 > 0:42:52What do you think he was trying to prove?
0:42:52 > 0:42:55He was trying to tell you he still loves you.
0:42:55 > 0:42:59- What?- We're men. We find it easier to jump off a bridge
0:42:59 > 0:43:01than to say "I love you."
0:43:01 > 0:43:02We just stumble around in the dark,
0:43:02 > 0:43:05hoping that once in a while we might say the right thing
0:43:05 > 0:43:08or do the right thing or time things right so that...
0:43:12 > 0:43:13Oh, my God.
0:43:15 > 0:43:19- I am the biggest lunkhead in the universe.- You've lost me.
0:43:21 > 0:43:25Listen, it's patently obvious you still love your ex-husband
0:43:25 > 0:43:26and he still loves you,
0:43:26 > 0:43:28so please stop faffing and accept the fact, OK?
0:43:28 > 0:43:32It is Christmas Day. He's the father of your children. Deal with it.
0:43:32 > 0:43:34Cathexis!
0:43:34 > 0:43:36What?
0:43:36 > 0:43:39Ask him. I need the number for a cab!
0:44:09 > 0:44:10Mr Hope?
0:44:10 > 0:44:14So if the machine doesn't work...
0:44:21 > 0:44:23..I make the machine work.
0:44:47 > 0:44:51You haven't got any cabs for at least two hours? Two hours?!
0:44:51 > 0:44:54Yes, I'm very well aware it's Christmas Day, thank you.
0:44:54 > 0:44:56Have you got any numbers for taxi firms?
0:44:56 > 0:45:00- Why would I?- 12 o'clock. Her flight's at 12 o'clock.
0:45:00 > 0:45:03- A taxi'll never make it there on time.- Great. That's it.
0:45:03 > 0:45:08She disappears to the other side of the world and I just let her go.
0:45:08 > 0:45:12Oh, for God's sake! You've been boring us all senseless - banging on
0:45:12 > 0:45:17about how much you loved this woman since 1972, and if for no other reason than to shut you up,
0:45:17 > 0:45:20I am going to make damn sure you get to that airport on time.
0:45:20 > 0:45:22How exactly?
0:45:27 > 0:45:28Ohh!
0:45:31 > 0:45:36That was easily the most terrifying 40 minutes of my life.
0:45:36 > 0:45:38You're wasting time.
0:45:38 > 0:45:40Thank you.
0:45:41 > 0:45:44Urgh! Get off me, you big idiot!
0:45:51 > 0:45:55- Good luck.- You too.
0:46:39 > 0:46:41Sorry!
0:46:47 > 0:46:50Ohh! So sorry! Sorry.
0:46:50 > 0:46:55TANNOY ANNOUNCEMENT
0:47:01 > 0:47:03- Enjoy your flight, sir.- Thank you.
0:47:11 > 0:47:15TANNOY: This is a final call for flight 723 to Sydney.
0:47:16 > 0:47:22Excuse me, I'm sorry. I wouldn't ordinarily do this, but the woman I love...
0:47:22 > 0:47:24is about to disappear to Australia, possibly forever,
0:47:24 > 0:47:28so I really need to buy a ticket to get on that plane to stop her,
0:47:28 > 0:47:30so is there any way I could just jump ahead of you?
0:47:32 > 0:47:35Clearly you speak no English at all.
0:47:35 > 0:47:38Which is...great.
0:47:38 > 0:47:43TANNOY: Boarding for flight 723 to Sydney is now closed.
0:47:46 > 0:47:47Maybe I should call her!
0:47:47 > 0:47:51Why didn't I think of that? Thank you.
0:48:00 > 0:48:04'Hi, it's me... I just want to apologise for last night.
0:48:04 > 0:48:10'You asked me what I love about you and I should have said...
0:48:10 > 0:48:13'I love you because you're kind,
0:48:13 > 0:48:15'because you're decent,
0:48:15 > 0:48:18'because you're a grown-up.
0:48:18 > 0:48:22'I love you because you're safe, but never boring.
0:48:22 > 0:48:27'And in another place and another time, I think we could have made a wonderful family.
0:48:27 > 0:48:30'I think we could have been happy.'
0:48:34 > 0:48:38TANNOY ANNOUNCEMENT
0:48:38 > 0:48:41OK, here we go.
0:48:41 > 0:48:43Deploying the valve.
0:49:01 > 0:49:02OK.
0:49:04 > 0:49:05Thank you, everyone.
0:49:05 > 0:49:08Just need to put a stitch in the wound and we're home.
0:49:10 > 0:49:12SHE SPEAK RUSSIAN
0:49:12 > 0:49:15BLEEPING
0:49:15 > 0:49:17He's fibrillating.
0:49:17 > 0:49:20Paddles. Paddles!
0:49:21 > 0:49:23Defribrillator!
0:49:23 > 0:49:25Get me Frieda!
0:49:25 > 0:49:27BLEEPING GETS FASTER
0:49:27 > 0:49:30DRILLING
0:49:32 > 0:49:34He needs you.
0:49:34 > 0:49:38What are you talking about? I need her in here, can't do this on my own.
0:49:41 > 0:49:43Take over.
0:49:45 > 0:49:48- What about lignocaine? - He's had 100 mg.
0:49:48 > 0:49:50Nothing's working.
0:49:50 > 0:49:53Right, I'm going to have to put him on bypass.
0:49:53 > 0:49:55BLEEPING CONTINUES
0:50:14 > 0:50:17- Let's put him on bypass, please. - SHE SPEAKS RUSSIAN
0:50:18 > 0:50:23BLEEPING SLOWS AND STOPS
0:50:26 > 0:50:28BLEEPING STARTS AGAIN
0:50:28 > 0:50:31- Nothing.- We'll have to do it by hand.
0:50:31 > 0:50:33SHE SHOUTS IN RUSSIAN
0:50:36 > 0:50:38One rotation in five, counting.
0:50:38 > 0:50:41One, two, three, four, five.
0:50:53 > 0:50:54You're a good cowboy.
0:50:57 > 0:50:59Go check on your husband.
0:50:59 > 0:51:02BLEEPING CONTINUES
0:51:02 > 0:51:04Steady, pull it there.
0:51:10 > 0:51:12OK, let's ease off altogether.
0:51:31 > 0:51:33BLEEPING STOPS
0:52:36 > 0:52:41By the time you get this, you and Daniel will be in Sydney, but I just wanted to say...
0:52:41 > 0:52:43Of course I love you. I always have.
0:52:43 > 0:52:47You know that. But I'm Sacha Levy.
0:52:47 > 0:52:50And what I do is I mess things up.
0:52:50 > 0:52:57I trip over, I put my foot in my mouth, I'm always in the wrong place at the wrong time...
0:52:57 > 0:53:00Anyway... What I want to say is...
0:53:00 > 0:53:02do whatever you have to do.
0:53:02 > 0:53:06Do whatever makes you happy.
0:53:06 > 0:53:11Because that's all I've ever wanted for you. And it still is.
0:53:17 > 0:53:19< Turn around.
0:53:27 > 0:53:29You're in Sydney.
0:53:29 > 0:53:31Apparently not.
0:54:25 > 0:54:27See you later, partner.
0:54:47 > 0:54:50THEY LAUGH
0:55:03 > 0:55:07Have I died or is this really happening?
0:55:07 > 0:55:08Merry Christmas...
0:55:08 > 0:55:10Knucklehead.
0:55:11 > 0:55:14Come here!
0:55:22 > 0:55:25Warms the cockles of your heart, doesn't it?
0:55:25 > 0:55:28Mr Hanssen, I had no idea you were in the building.
0:55:28 > 0:55:32You assumed I'd be elsewhere enacting some arcane Swedish Yuletide tradition?
0:55:32 > 0:55:35I don't like to make assumptions about anyone.
0:55:35 > 0:55:37Least of all you.
0:55:37 > 0:55:40Well, I trust you left some porridge out for Jultomten?
0:55:40 > 0:55:42Naturally.
0:55:45 > 0:55:47Merry Christmas, Mr Hanssen.
0:55:47 > 0:55:50And to you, Mr Hemmingway.
0:56:39 > 0:56:41Thank you.
0:56:41 > 0:56:47I'm guessing you asked every other plastic surgeon in Europe before you got to me, right?
0:56:47 > 0:56:50- Of course! - THEY LAUGH
0:56:50 > 0:56:54Hey, I'm not complaining, I got a great pair of pyjamas out of it!
0:56:54 > 0:56:58- Happy Christmas.- You too.
0:56:58 > 0:57:00Ah!
0:57:00 > 0:57:02Dr Petrenko, care for some vodka?
0:57:02 > 0:57:07What better way to celebrate the birth of our Saviour than with 40% pure alcohol!
0:57:09 > 0:57:14I don't suppose there's any possible way I could persuade you to return to Holby, Dr Petrenko?
0:57:14 > 0:57:17What would be the point? Mr Spence is no longer there.
0:57:17 > 0:57:21Ahh! I don't know.
0:57:21 > 0:57:27I think maybe I should take that tall Swede a big slice of humble pie
0:57:27 > 0:57:29and see if he's still got
0:57:29 > 0:57:31a place for a shiny-suited cowboy.
0:57:31 > 0:57:36Want to see if he's still got a place for a Ukrainian emo with an attitude problem?
0:57:36 > 0:57:38Why don't we talk about it over dinner?
0:57:39 > 0:57:41Dinner?
0:57:41 > 0:57:46I tried to persuade her that was a very bad idea but my mother said she would not speak to me
0:57:46 > 0:57:53again if I did not bring the two of you back for a traditional Ukrainian Christmas dinner.
0:57:53 > 0:57:56Well, it would be rather ungracious of us to decline, wouldn't it, Michael?
0:57:56 > 0:57:58Yes, I think it would.
0:57:58 > 0:57:59Lead on, Dr Petrenko.
0:58:04 > 0:58:07By the way, Elliot, you know you snore?
0:58:07 > 0:58:09And how do you know this?
