0:00:39 > 0:00:41If you want my silence about Plastics'

0:00:41 > 0:00:44dodgy conflict of interest, I want something in writing.

0:00:44 > 0:00:48Keep your friends close and your enemies closer.

0:00:48 > 0:00:49We can't cover this up.

0:00:49 > 0:00:51Your career is on the line here.

0:00:51 > 0:00:54When did you know that we were fitting faulty implants?

0:00:54 > 0:00:57We've had another RTA patient admitted in critical condition.

0:00:57 > 0:01:01It's Sunil Bhatti. His heart stopped, there's nothing left to pump, Michael.

0:01:01 > 0:01:04A security guard's waiting outside, you've five minutes to collect your things.

0:01:04 > 0:01:07I'm telling you the truth. I'm innocent.

0:01:07 > 0:01:10You really think we can blame all this on Michael Spence?

0:01:10 > 0:01:13He'll have to face the music at some point, isn't he?

0:01:15 > 0:01:20RADIO: 'The medical select committee, made up of MPs and public health practitioners

0:01:20 > 0:01:21'await the results of a hearing today

0:01:21 > 0:01:25'into the corrupt use of defective implants at Holby General.

0:01:25 > 0:01:29'The Health minister has again said he has full faith in the hospital management...'

0:01:29 > 0:01:33He's been given every opportunity to respond, but hasn't been in contact.

0:01:33 > 0:01:37- Not even a phone call. - A response isn't officially required.

0:01:37 > 0:01:40No, but we haven't the slightest idea if Spence intends to turn up.

0:01:40 > 0:01:43- Anyway, Sir Fraser wants this resolved today.- It will be.

0:01:43 > 0:01:45My guess is that Mr Spence will pay ball,

0:01:45 > 0:01:48but it's not up to us to make assumptions of guilt, is it?

0:01:48 > 0:01:49No, of course not.

0:01:49 > 0:01:52We're here simply to examine the facts.

0:01:52 > 0:01:56Well, the facts are, there's a disciplinary hearing scheduled and where's the main man?

0:02:08 > 0:02:13REPORTERS ALL TALK AT ONCE

0:02:13 > 0:02:16- Over here, please, Mr Spence. - Any comment?

0:02:16 > 0:02:20Yeah. I've got one thing to say. I'm innocent.

0:02:30 > 0:02:32Miss Naylor.

0:02:32 > 0:02:37Oh, come on, if I don't transfer her here, then where?

0:02:37 > 0:02:40You want me to go back to her GP and say Miss Naylor's so tight

0:02:40 > 0:02:44she can't crack it open enough to find room at the inn for little Freya.

0:02:44 > 0:02:47I'm going to tell you this one more time. We are full!

0:02:47 > 0:02:50Look, we've done all we can on Paediatrics.

0:02:50 > 0:02:53What am I supposed to do, bus her over to St James's?

0:02:53 > 0:02:57What does that say about us? Oh, no paediatric cardiac unit, yeah,

0:02:57 > 0:03:01- no wonder they're struggling to get FT status.- Can't you press the mute button?

0:03:01 > 0:03:04OK, baby, OK.

0:03:04 > 0:03:06No, I meant you.

0:03:06 > 0:03:12Come on, just a teensy-weensy echocardiogram, please?

0:03:12 > 0:03:13- What's it going to be next time? - Huh?

0:03:13 > 0:03:18- You do this, you bypass normal procedures all the time. - Oh, you know I don't do that. C'mon.

0:03:18 > 0:03:24Jac, Mr Flynn, the aortic homograft, I'm going to have to find somebody else to assist.

0:03:24 > 0:03:25Why?

0:03:25 > 0:03:27- You're due at the hearing, aren't you?- So?

0:03:27 > 0:03:30That's what Hanssen told me. I've rejigged the procedure.

0:03:30 > 0:03:34- I'm not cancelling my list for the hearing.- What if you're called?

0:03:34 > 0:03:36My career's already going down the pan because of Michael Spence.

0:03:36 > 0:03:40- I won't be tarred with the same brush twice in one day.- So?

0:03:40 > 0:03:42So I'll talk to him.

0:03:45 > 0:03:49So, what's it to be, yes or no?

0:03:51 > 0:03:53Sahira, can you put them in HDU.

0:03:53 > 0:03:56Mr Dolan, our fabulous Paeds consultant, will explain everything.

0:03:58 > 0:03:59- Hi.- Hi, how are you doing?

0:03:59 > 0:04:03- All right. Hello you. - This is little Freya.- Hey, Freya.

0:04:08 > 0:04:09Morning.

0:04:10 > 0:04:12Hey, I'm back, did you miss me?

0:04:13 > 0:04:15Dan! Morning.

0:04:16 > 0:04:19What did I do, kill someone?

0:04:19 > 0:04:20BLEEPING

0:04:20 > 0:04:22You got the airway sorted?

0:04:22 > 0:04:25Six units cross matched please, now!

0:04:25 > 0:04:27Hey, what've you got?

0:04:27 > 0:04:2915-year-old boy - gun shot wound to the abdomen.

0:04:29 > 0:04:32- Fast tracked from ED. - Anything I can I do?

0:04:32 > 0:04:34- Nothing. - O Neg, fast as you can...

0:04:34 > 0:04:39- Hey, guys, I've got a lot of experience with gunshot wounds. - We're fine, thanks.

0:04:39 > 0:04:43Is theatre ready yet? OK, now then, please...now, please!

0:04:53 > 0:04:55- KNOCK AT DOOR - Just wait a moment.

0:05:00 > 0:05:01Come in.

0:05:04 > 0:05:08So you've decided to grace us with your presence after all.

0:05:08 > 0:05:09My plane was delayed.

0:05:09 > 0:05:12Yes, a phone call would've sufficed.

0:05:12 > 0:05:14Now, the Chair of the hearing, Mrs Stables,

0:05:14 > 0:05:20she agrees with me that the Plastics debacle has kept the press in business over the last few weeks.

0:05:20 > 0:05:24We all want to draw a line under it. My advice is to be scrupulously honest.

0:05:24 > 0:05:25Of course, anything else?

0:05:25 > 0:05:28You should know there is evidence against you.

0:05:28 > 0:05:30From who?

0:05:30 > 0:05:32- I haven't been told. - What is it?

0:05:32 > 0:05:35And I've yet to see it, but as I say, it's in your best interests

0:05:35 > 0:05:37to be open and transparent from the off.

0:05:37 > 0:05:39I wouldn't play it any other way.

0:05:43 > 0:05:46The baby's in HDU. Her mother's called Nicole.

0:05:46 > 0:05:49You want to do the echo or leave it to me?

0:05:49 > 0:05:53The reason I ask is, according to the new guidelines handed down by Mr Hanssen,

0:05:53 > 0:05:57a consultant must oversee all inter-departmental cases.

0:05:57 > 0:06:00So you're the new poster girl for this micro-management now, eh?

0:06:00 > 0:06:04Wearing fetching green, Ms Shah's hobbies are reading, writing and sucking up.

0:06:05 > 0:06:07Hey, guys, morning.

0:06:11 > 0:06:12Jac, morning.

0:06:14 > 0:06:18Ollie, Mr Flynn's blood cultures. Can you bring the results up for me, please?

0:06:18 > 0:06:21- Jac, I need to talk to you. - The information's in there.

0:06:21 > 0:06:24No there, THERE!

0:06:24 > 0:06:26Jac!

0:06:26 > 0:06:29This is really not a great time right now.

0:06:29 > 0:06:33Apparently they've got evidence against me.

0:06:33 > 0:06:34What evidence?

0:06:34 > 0:06:38- I don't know. Hanssen wouldn't say. I thought you might know?- Me?- Yeah.

0:06:38 > 0:06:42You think I said something to him! Why the hell would I do that?

0:06:42 > 0:06:43All right

0:06:43 > 0:06:45For God's sake, Michael!

0:06:45 > 0:06:47All right, fine, I'm sorry.

0:06:47 > 0:06:50- Look, they are planning on calling you in.- Yeah, I know.

0:06:50 > 0:06:52So deny everything, leave it to me.

0:06:52 > 0:06:54I don't have to deny anything.

0:06:54 > 0:06:56I didn't have anything to do with this.

0:06:59 > 0:07:00Swab.

0:07:05 > 0:07:10- Let's replace his blood volume, then pack the abdomen.- It's not working. The bleeding is too severe.

0:07:12 > 0:07:15What would Mr Spence do?

0:07:15 > 0:07:19I'm kidding. He'd do the sexy option - keep going.

0:07:19 > 0:07:23Yes, out in a blaze of glory. So we won't do that.

0:07:23 > 0:07:25You sure?

0:07:25 > 0:07:28Yes. No unnecessary risks.

0:07:30 > 0:07:34Let's stop diathermy. We'll pack the abdomen and wait for him to stabilise.

0:07:34 > 0:07:37When he does, we'll wheel him back in and finish the job.

0:07:37 > 0:07:39OK?

0:07:43 > 0:07:46That's Freya's heartbeat. Little butterfly.

0:07:46 > 0:07:51- Bu-dum, bu-dum...see it? - Systole and diastole.- Hmm?

0:07:51 > 0:07:53The bu-dum bu-dum, as you put it.

0:07:53 > 0:07:56So it's her heart that's not working properly?

0:07:56 > 0:07:58No, it's fine from what I can see.

0:07:58 > 0:08:00Have you told her about Paul?

0:08:00 > 0:08:03Nicole's partner died before Freya was born.

0:08:03 > 0:08:05Right. I'm sorry.

0:08:05 > 0:08:08I wasn't saying it for sympathy, it's just...

0:08:08 > 0:08:10he had a hole in his heart that he never knew he had, right.

0:08:10 > 0:08:15- Could she have inherited that? - It's highly unlikely.

0:08:15 > 0:08:16Right.

0:08:16 > 0:08:19OK, so she's had tests with the GP, tests on the children's ward,

0:08:19 > 0:08:24- tests here and still nobody can find anything.- Maybe there's nothing to find.

0:08:24 > 0:08:25You think I'm imagining it?

0:08:25 > 0:08:30No, but with a first baby, people tend to pick up on every little thing.

0:08:30 > 0:08:32Being a single mum won't help.

0:08:33 > 0:08:36She's not doing as well as we'd expect.

0:08:36 > 0:08:41- Just because you can't find anything doesn't mean I'm making it up.- Sure.

0:08:41 > 0:08:43- What? - You're wanted at the hearing.

0:08:43 > 0:08:46The echo is clear. Excuse me.

0:08:48 > 0:08:50Make sure they go back to Paediatrics.

0:08:53 > 0:08:55Please, Dan, I'm busy.

0:08:55 > 0:08:58I know, but I need to check something with you.

0:08:58 > 0:09:01- For?- The wedding reception. The seating plan.

0:09:01 > 0:09:05What do you want to do with your lot? Do we keep the families separate or mix them up?

0:09:05 > 0:09:09People like your dad are fine, aren't they? They'll muck in with anybody,

0:09:09 > 0:09:13but my family aren't the greatest of socialisers and ideally I need to plan this out with you,

0:09:13 > 0:09:16but I can make a start if I know generally what you'd like.

0:09:16 > 0:09:18Why are you coming at me with this now, huh?

0:09:18 > 0:09:20Why right now!

0:09:20 > 0:09:22Excuse me.

0:09:22 > 0:09:24We shouldn't even be in here.

0:09:26 > 0:09:29If he goes on about that wedding any more, I'm going to kill him.

0:09:29 > 0:09:30What?

0:09:38 > 0:09:39Wish me luck.

0:09:45 > 0:09:50Owen shot himself close range, so the...

0:09:50 > 0:09:54the shot hasn't spread massively, but it has punctured his spleen and his small bowel.

0:09:54 > 0:10:00There are lots of small holes in the blood vessels which are very difficult to repair.

0:10:00 > 0:10:04You're saying... he's not going to make it?

0:10:04 > 0:10:11Um...hopefully, the bleeding will clot.

0:10:11 > 0:10:15When it does, we'll get him back into theatre and finish the job.

0:10:15 > 0:10:21He was just supposed to be staying on the farm with me for a day or two.

0:10:21 > 0:10:22Yeah.

0:10:24 > 0:10:27So...why did he...?

0:10:27 > 0:10:31I don't know - bullying at school, maybe. I don't know.

0:10:31 > 0:10:33You found him, right?

0:10:36 > 0:10:40What about other family?

0:10:40 > 0:10:42His father and mother - my daughter -

0:10:42 > 0:10:44they're away in France on holiday.

0:10:46 > 0:10:48Haven't managed to phone them yet.

0:10:48 > 0:10:51Would you like me to make the call?

0:10:51 > 0:10:54- I have a very important aortic homograft.- You mentioned it.

0:10:54 > 0:10:57Due to be streamed live on-line this afternoon...

0:10:57 > 0:11:02You've mentioned that too, several times. Will you be finished with the hearing in time to participate?

0:11:02 > 0:11:05I couldn't say. It's something of a moveable feast.

0:11:05 > 0:11:08I meant to say, should the worst come to the worst with Michael Spence,

0:11:08 > 0:11:10if there's anything I can do to fill in...

0:11:10 > 0:11:14So one person's misconduct is someone else's career opportunity, is it?

0:11:14 > 0:11:16I'm just trying to help.

0:11:16 > 0:11:18Yes, but the question is who?

0:11:24 > 0:11:28When you were first propositioned by Mr Bhatti, did he mention Prego Holdings?

0:11:28 > 0:11:30Not right away, no.

0:11:30 > 0:11:33- Did he tell you that his wife supplied the implants?- No.

0:11:33 > 0:11:36- You didn't think to ask? - Why would I?

0:11:36 > 0:11:39Because you knew she ran a medical supply company.

0:11:39 > 0:11:41- Well, not that specific one.- Really?

0:11:41 > 0:11:44She's Italian, the company's called Prego!

0:11:44 > 0:11:47Not that difficult to work out, I wouldn't have thought.

0:11:49 > 0:11:54Hi. Mr Dolan is refusing to move baby Freya back to Paeds.

0:11:54 > 0:11:58- Tell him I said to do so.- I already have. He's refusing to budge. - Shall I do it?

0:11:58 > 0:12:00I could really do without this today.

0:12:03 > 0:12:08I believe you went to Mrs Bhatti to put your concerns to her.

0:12:08 > 0:12:11- After the RTA, you mean? - Yes. So?

0:12:11 > 0:12:15Well, she said she didn't feel that Sunil had done anything wrong

0:12:15 > 0:12:18and if he did, somehow it was because of me.

0:12:18 > 0:12:20So Mr Bhatti had blamed you, had he?

0:12:20 > 0:12:25Yeah, but that was Sunil all over. Find someone else to take the flak, then run.

0:12:25 > 0:12:28Where is Mrs Bhatti right now? Are you still in contact with her?

0:12:28 > 0:12:32No, last I heard she was holed up in Italy with some relatives.

0:12:35 > 0:12:40We've been trying to find a paper trail, but very little documentary evidence remains,

0:12:40 > 0:12:45no invoices with your name on, very little relating to Prego Holdings at all, in fact.

0:12:45 > 0:12:47Don't you find that strange?

0:12:47 > 0:12:50Yeah, normally I would, but Mr Bhatti...

0:12:50 > 0:12:53Mr Bhatti, Mr Bhatti. Always Mr Bhatti.

0:12:53 > 0:12:56Well, I'm not going to admit to something I had no part in.

0:12:56 > 0:13:00- If there's no paper trail, it's probably because Sunil got rid of it!- Not you?

0:13:00 > 0:13:01Not me, no.

0:13:01 > 0:13:04I had nothing to do with this.

0:13:04 > 0:13:06Any of it.

0:13:10 > 0:13:14You know the implication here is that I'm not telling the truth.

0:13:14 > 0:13:18Well, if the Trust has an allegation to make against me,

0:13:18 > 0:13:20then it needs to back it up with evidence.

0:13:20 > 0:13:25So, if you have something, please, bring it on.

0:13:30 > 0:13:34Yup, that's not a problem, I'll send someone down. Thank you.

0:13:34 > 0:13:36Keith Sandow, 74, joint pain...

0:13:36 > 0:13:39- Rheumatics?- Yeah, I called them. They told me to call you.

0:13:39 > 0:13:41Sudden loss of vision, he's tachycardic.

0:13:41 > 0:13:44Has fever and headaches.

0:13:44 > 0:13:46So, nothing since when?

0:13:46 > 0:13:49It's been poor for awhile.

0:13:49 > 0:13:54But it's Friday week, tea time, I was boiling an egg and suddenly, boof!

0:13:54 > 0:14:00- What, everything went black? - No, more like a migraine to start with, like a kaleidoscope.

0:14:00 > 0:14:04- Is that nurse back yet? - Doctor.

0:14:04 > 0:14:06Oh! Look, no offence.

0:14:06 > 0:14:11I didn't make the nurse assumption just cos you're a woman, OK?

0:14:11 > 0:14:14I want you to know that. You are a woman, right?

0:14:14 > 0:14:19What do you think? Could be a Russian bloke with high voice?

0:14:19 > 0:14:22Or, you know, a Lithuanian midget.

0:14:23 > 0:14:26I'd quit while you're ahead, if I were you.

0:14:26 > 0:14:31- This is Mr Hamilton. - Hello. So pain where exactly?

0:14:31 > 0:14:35Well, my neck and around here.

0:14:35 > 0:14:38- And here, when he's chewing. - OK. Can I take a look? Sit forward for me.

0:14:46 > 0:14:51OK. That feels fairly normal. We should do a chest X-ray and check his PSA.

0:14:51 > 0:14:53- Yeah, it's in hand. - Great, excuse me.

0:14:54 > 0:14:56Chrissie?

0:15:03 > 0:15:08- Hot in there, isn't it? - Yeah, I haven't been sleeping very well.- Mm-hm.

0:15:09 > 0:15:13- It's OK if I stay and observe? - I'd rather you went in there and told the truth.

0:15:13 > 0:15:17So what do you want me to do, admit to something I had no part in?

0:15:17 > 0:15:18So you did nothing wrong?

0:15:18 > 0:15:22Look I cannot take the rap for this entire thing.

0:15:22 > 0:15:27- I've got four kids, I can't afford to...- Michael, if you were involved...

0:15:27 > 0:15:31We were all involved. You hired the guy, no-one's asking you to take the blame.

0:15:33 > 0:15:40Look, I know you offered to resign, but the press needs a sacrifice and it's not going to be me.

0:15:43 > 0:15:47Mr Flynn. I know you wanted to be involved, but he needs the operation right now.

0:15:47 > 0:15:51- That's just great(!) - So Mr Douglas has very kindly agreed to scrub in.

0:15:51 > 0:15:53Yes, I bet he has.

0:15:53 > 0:15:54What can I do!

0:15:54 > 0:15:57Oh, I still need those blood culture results.

0:15:57 > 0:16:01- Sorry, I've just been paged back to Paeds. - Which is where she should be.

0:16:01 > 0:16:03Not until she's been screened. Everything points to Cardio.

0:16:03 > 0:16:07Look, I want this sorting one way or another, so...

0:16:07 > 0:16:09will an MRI do you?

0:16:09 > 0:16:11- I love you.- Hm.

0:16:11 > 0:16:13Can you deal with that please?

0:16:13 > 0:16:14Sure.

0:16:14 > 0:16:19- Thank you.- And Mr Hope's still waiting for Mr Flynn's cultures.

0:16:23 > 0:16:26- Dr Valentine? You up for it? - What?

0:16:26 > 0:16:29- I thought you might like to observe. - What?

0:16:29 > 0:16:34The aortic homograft. Delicate procedure, window on the world wide web, etcetera.

0:16:34 > 0:16:37Yeah, thanks.

0:16:37 > 0:16:39PAGER BLEEPS

0:16:39 > 0:16:41Just give me like...20 minutes?

0:16:41 > 0:16:42Right, yes.

0:16:49 > 0:16:54I became aware that there was an issue after an operation on a patient called Melanie Stott.

0:16:54 > 0:16:56This is the pacemaker patient?

0:16:56 > 0:17:01Yes, the implants had leaked and the silicone was interfering with the function of the pacemaker.

0:17:01 > 0:17:03Did Mr Spence mention to you then that he was

0:17:03 > 0:17:06- concerned about the quality of the implants?- No,

0:17:06 > 0:17:09but he must've been aware that there was an issue -

0:17:09 > 0:17:11both implants had leaked, so...

0:17:11 > 0:17:14- I assumed they were part of a defective batch. - Mr Spence.

0:17:14 > 0:17:15Which is what I thought too.

0:17:15 > 0:17:19And when did you discover that all the implants fitted were faulty?

0:17:19 > 0:17:21Only when it became public knowledge.

0:17:21 > 0:17:25So at no time did Mr Spence suggest that he might've been aware?

0:17:25 > 0:17:31- No.- And you had no reason to think he was profiting from this arrangement with Prego Holdings?

0:17:31 > 0:17:36No, I had no knowledge of anything untoward, just a...

0:17:38 > 0:17:43- Just a...- Just a vague uneasiness that this whole business

0:17:43 > 0:17:48was about making obscene amounts of money and not doing what we should be doing.

0:17:48 > 0:17:50Meaning?

0:17:50 > 0:17:53Look, whatever Mr Spence knew about all of this,

0:17:53 > 0:17:58I like to think he's someone who puts patients before profit.

0:18:00 > 0:18:04- Do you know what an MRI scan is? - Is that the big cylinder thing?

0:18:06 > 0:18:08Course I know what an MRI is!

0:18:08 > 0:18:11My partner spent a fair bit of time inside one.

0:18:13 > 0:18:16Yeah, so you know how they work and that they're safe

0:18:16 > 0:18:18and Freya won't be in any danger.

0:18:20 > 0:18:25What's this? You don't need a patient's signature for an MRI, do you?

0:18:25 > 0:18:27- No.- So?

0:18:27 > 0:18:29We need to keep Freya still,

0:18:29 > 0:18:32so that's to give us permission to sedate her.

0:18:32 > 0:18:34I don't think so...

0:18:34 > 0:18:37- I'm sorry? - I said I don't think so.

0:18:37 > 0:18:39No.

0:18:39 > 0:18:43My concern is what this has done to the reputation of the hospital...

0:18:43 > 0:18:47and myself. I feel damaged by my association with Plastics.

0:18:47 > 0:18:50Can I just say, Miss Naylor wasn't exactly press-ganged.

0:18:50 > 0:18:54No, but I assumed the department would be run with integrity.

0:18:54 > 0:18:58None of us envisaged Mr Bhatti and Mr Spence would be involved in corruption.

0:18:58 > 0:19:03Miss Naylor, had you heard of Prego Holdings before this all became public?

0:19:03 > 0:19:05- I did know about Prego Holdings, yes.- How?

0:19:05 > 0:19:08I think I saw the name in Accounts.

0:19:08 > 0:19:13I see. And why would a CT consultant be looking at Plastics accounts?

0:19:15 > 0:19:16I honestly don't remember.

0:19:16 > 0:19:20- You don't remember?- No. - Or you don't want to remember.

0:19:20 > 0:19:23I want to feel that my questions are being answered truthfully

0:19:23 > 0:19:26but my suspicions aren't being put to rest here.

0:19:26 > 0:19:30Yes, well, this is what I was getting at earlier - suspicion spreads.

0:19:30 > 0:19:33Anyone who had anything to do with Plastics is tainted by it.

0:19:33 > 0:19:39The reality is Mr Bhatti and Mr Spence had a nice little number going and it backfired on them.

0:19:41 > 0:19:44Thanks for that(!) Jac...

0:19:57 > 0:20:00- He's just going to carry on bleeding out.- Give it time.

0:20:00 > 0:20:02How much more time?

0:20:02 > 0:20:05Look, if we take him into theatre like this, he'll die.

0:20:05 > 0:20:09If we let him stabilise... it's a chance.

0:20:12 > 0:20:15POLICE RADIO

0:20:22 > 0:20:25- Elliot, nice to see you. - I wish I could say the same.

0:20:25 > 0:20:28Oh, wait, come on, don't be like that, Elliot.

0:20:28 > 0:20:31- I know things aren't great, but what have I done to you?- Oh, nothing,

0:20:31 > 0:20:35just that your antics almost cost the entire CT department,

0:20:35 > 0:20:37and I almost lost my job - we all did -

0:20:37 > 0:20:40but that's nothing for you to worry about, Michael.

0:20:40 > 0:20:42You just make sure you cover your own rear end.

0:20:49 > 0:20:52Mmm. Oooh, that's Shalimar.

0:20:52 > 0:20:56- Oh. I put it on specially. I know how much you like it.- Mmm.

0:20:56 > 0:20:58You two need to get a room!

0:20:58 > 0:21:01- Oh, sorry, I didn't realise you were there.- Any news?

0:21:01 > 0:21:05Yes, there is. Most of the tests have come back and they're fine...

0:21:05 > 0:21:08- What about the X-ray? - That was clear so...

0:21:08 > 0:21:11So we can rule out cancer, then?

0:21:11 > 0:21:12Yes, I think so, at this stage.

0:21:12 > 0:21:15Oh!

0:21:16 > 0:21:18I'll be back as soon as the rest of the results are in.

0:21:20 > 0:21:24Sorry, don't mean to hassle, but seating plan?

0:21:24 > 0:21:27Fine. Mix the families up a bit.

0:21:27 > 0:21:29Some of yours and some of mine on the same table.

0:21:29 > 0:21:33Great. Oh, one more thing - the first dance.

0:21:33 > 0:21:37They've hassling me about the music for that. So I thought Everything by Michael Buble?

0:21:37 > 0:21:39What?

0:21:39 > 0:21:42No first dance. I'm not going to do this any more.

0:21:42 > 0:21:43Chrissie...

0:21:43 > 0:21:46This is driving me nuts. You are driving me nuts.

0:21:46 > 0:21:49- If you want a big wedding... - I don't.

0:21:49 > 0:21:53- But you said...- I don't care what I said. I don't want it any more.

0:21:53 > 0:21:54- Oh, come on.- I'm serious.

0:21:54 > 0:21:57I don't want to hear another word about table mats,

0:21:57 > 0:21:59seating plans, Michael Buble.

0:21:59 > 0:22:03If you keep going on about this, there won't be a wedding at all.

0:22:11 > 0:22:14- The mother won't sign for a general anaesthetic.- Why not?

0:22:14 > 0:22:17For God's sake, Ollie, do I have to do absolutely everything myself?

0:22:17 > 0:22:21I ask you to do two simple things. Just two things.

0:22:21 > 0:22:23- You are absolutely useless!- Bitch.

0:22:23 > 0:22:25If you've got something to say, say it to my face.

0:22:25 > 0:22:28You missed out on the op, the baby shouldn't be on the ward,

0:22:28 > 0:22:30so why take it out on me?

0:22:32 > 0:22:34You know what? Forget it. Just forget it.

0:22:34 > 0:22:37- Sort out the blood cultures and I will speak to the mother.- No.

0:22:37 > 0:22:41- Excuse me?- I'm due in theatre with Mr Hope. You sort your own results out.

0:22:45 > 0:22:49Right, we have to trim the scallops

0:22:49 > 0:22:52from the coronary sinuses...

0:22:52 > 0:22:54DOOR OPENS

0:22:54 > 0:22:56Hello, Dr Valentine.

0:22:57 > 0:23:00- Ms Naylor? - Sorry to interrupt, Mr Hope.

0:23:00 > 0:23:05I was just explaining to Dr Valentine that we have a baby on the ward who needs attention,

0:23:05 > 0:23:09but he feels duty bound to be in theatre with you. Could you spare him?

0:23:09 > 0:23:11Goodbye, Dr Valentine.

0:23:16 > 0:23:18Print out Mr Flynn's results -

0:23:18 > 0:23:21they're on my computer in my office - then meet me in HDU.

0:23:32 > 0:23:34Would you come in for a moment, please?

0:23:42 > 0:23:44MOBILE BEEPS

0:23:55 > 0:23:57We've yet to finish our deliberations

0:23:57 > 0:24:01but Mr Hanssen felt you should be informed of where we are right now.

0:24:01 > 0:24:02Is that correct?

0:24:03 > 0:24:05Yes.

0:24:05 > 0:24:06So...

0:24:06 > 0:24:12we're agreed, whilst we have no evidence that you yourself were engaged in any corrupt activity,

0:24:12 > 0:24:14we think it likely that you were aware of it

0:24:14 > 0:24:16and you chose not to report it.

0:24:16 > 0:24:18Wait, can I just...?

0:24:18 > 0:24:21No. You've had your say.

0:24:21 > 0:24:24As such, your integrity has been compromised.

0:24:24 > 0:24:27Now, I for one believe it would be inappropriate

0:24:27 > 0:24:31for you to continue working here under the circumstances -

0:24:31 > 0:24:34though that's something we've yet to agree on.

0:24:36 > 0:24:38And as far as the GMC are concerned..?

0:24:38 > 0:24:40We'll recommend no action be taken against you.

0:24:42 > 0:24:44So I can take it that I'm no longer under suspension?

0:24:44 > 0:24:50- Yes, you may.- As I've said, that's not to say internal measures won't be taken against you.

0:24:50 > 0:24:53We intend to reach a decision later today.

0:24:55 > 0:25:00While I'm waiting for your decision, what do you want me to do?

0:25:07 > 0:25:12Well, I take it this means congratulations are in order.

0:25:12 > 0:25:17No, not yet. They're still finding a way to get rid of me, but I'm here for now, so if you need any help...

0:25:17 > 0:25:21- On Keller?- Yep. Hanssen wants me to make myself available.

0:25:21 > 0:25:25Probably wants to keep an eye on me. Hence...

0:25:26 > 0:25:28No, thanks. We're fine.

0:25:29 > 0:25:34- You too, huh?- Me too what?- I don't know why I expected any different -

0:25:34 > 0:25:38- I just thought you might be above all that. You know, sticking the knife in.- Hi.

0:25:38 > 0:25:42- What is it?- Just wondering when you're going to make a decision on Owen Thomas.

0:25:42 > 0:25:45I'll take a look.

0:25:48 > 0:25:50HE SIGHS

0:25:53 > 0:25:55Nicole, the baby's mother, have you seen her?

0:25:55 > 0:25:58- She's in HDU.- Not any more.

0:25:58 > 0:26:02I really want to get that MRI done - get Sean Dolan off my back.

0:26:02 > 0:26:04Sorry you missed out on the homograft.

0:26:04 > 0:26:10- Yeah. Another career-enhancing opportunity bites the dust. - Here you go. Try that on for size.

0:26:10 > 0:26:14- What is it?- Elliot gave it to me. It's The Futures Award for Mentoring.

0:26:14 > 0:26:19- You decide on a research project and if it turns them on they'll fund it. - Doesn't exactly turn me on.

0:26:19 > 0:26:23- Well, I'd do it but it's for consultants only.- What's the catch?

0:26:23 > 0:26:26You get to mentor an F2.

0:26:26 > 0:26:29Don't say I don't do anything for you.

0:26:29 > 0:26:33Mr Hope's come through with the blood culture results.

0:26:33 > 0:26:35You're magnificent, Ollie, you really are.

0:26:38 > 0:26:39Fine.

0:26:39 > 0:26:42Look, just find Nicole for me, OK?

0:26:42 > 0:26:44I want to get that baby out of here.

0:26:44 > 0:26:47Sorry, been running backwards and forwards.

0:26:47 > 0:26:51Have you heard? Michael Spence got off. Kind of.

0:27:02 > 0:27:05Oh, yeah, I know, your patient. I'm sorry.

0:27:05 > 0:27:07No problem.

0:27:07 > 0:27:10What we looking at? A palliative sign-off?

0:27:10 > 0:27:15- Looks that way. - So what's Ric's plan of action?

0:27:16 > 0:27:20To wait and see if he stops bleeding out then take him back in and finish the job.

0:27:20 > 0:27:24What? Come on, that's never going to happen. How much volume has he lost?

0:27:24 > 0:27:28About three litres. Look, we've been filling him with colloid and blood,

0:27:28 > 0:27:32but we fix one bleed, then he starts leaking from somewhere else - it's like trying to stitch a sieve.

0:27:34 > 0:27:36He's not going to pull through, is he?

0:27:38 > 0:27:40Can you do something?

0:27:40 > 0:27:41Well, he's not my patient.

0:27:41 > 0:27:44That's not what I asked.

0:27:50 > 0:27:54Oh, can you do me a favour? Freya's chest X-ray, chase it up?

0:27:54 > 0:27:56Excuse me. And I need that.

0:27:56 > 0:27:59Sure. Excuse me.

0:28:01 > 0:28:04- No, in person. I've tried calling. - It's fine.

0:28:07 > 0:28:10PHONE RINGING OVER PHONE

0:28:10 > 0:28:12PHONE RINGS

0:28:12 > 0:28:13Hello?

0:28:16 > 0:28:18Is anyone in here?

0:28:18 > 0:28:20Nicole?

0:28:22 > 0:28:25RINGING STOPS

0:28:25 > 0:28:27- Nicole...- Can you go away, please?

0:28:27 > 0:28:30- If you open the door, maybe. - Are you some sort of pervert?

0:28:30 > 0:28:34Look, it's natural...

0:28:35 > 0:28:37..to feel...

0:28:37 > 0:28:40stressed.

0:28:40 > 0:28:44To be on your own with a baby that's not well... But we can help you.

0:28:44 > 0:28:47You think I've been hiding away in here?

0:28:49 > 0:28:53The general anaesthetic - it's not dangerous.

0:28:53 > 0:28:58Oh, come on. If it wasn't dangerous I wouldn't need to sign a waiver, would I?

0:28:59 > 0:29:03- OK, listen. I don't know your boss. What's she called?- Ms Naylor.

0:29:03 > 0:29:07Yeah. From what I've seen, I'd say she was a...

0:29:07 > 0:29:08bit of a bitch.

0:29:10 > 0:29:15I think the reason she wants to do an MRI is to show Dolan there's nothing wrong with Freya.

0:29:15 > 0:29:18That way, she can get her off the ward. Am I right?

0:29:18 > 0:29:21Well, I don't want Freya to have an anaesthetic.

0:29:21 > 0:29:23Not just for that.

0:29:40 > 0:29:43It's a hip thing, I think. You know...

0:29:43 > 0:29:47Wear and tear. Just happens as you get older.

0:29:47 > 0:29:49- Is that right?- Well, it might be.

0:29:49 > 0:29:52Anyway, who's supposed to be the patient here, eh?

0:29:52 > 0:29:55It's what she does, you see. She steps into a room

0:29:55 > 0:29:59and instantly becomes the centre of attention.

0:29:59 > 0:30:02- Can I ask you something personal? - Uh-oh.

0:30:02 > 0:30:05How did you two get married? BOTH LAUGH

0:30:05 > 0:30:06We're not married.

0:30:06 > 0:30:09Oh, right, sorry. It's just you just seem so close.

0:30:09 > 0:30:14- We've only known each other three weeks.- Well, this time around, yeah.

0:30:14 > 0:30:17We bumped into each other at the doctor's surgery.

0:30:17 > 0:30:19So, no, we're not married.

0:30:19 > 0:30:22We might live in sin, though.

0:30:22 > 0:30:25- If you play your cards right. - BOTH CHUCKLE

0:30:25 > 0:30:27Dan, sorry, can I have a word?

0:30:27 > 0:30:32I've been looking at the notes. Do you know what I reckon it is? Polymyalgia rheumatica.

0:30:32 > 0:30:35Why didn't I think of that?

0:30:35 > 0:30:37Age before beauty, my friend.

0:30:38 > 0:30:41Right, we have a possible diagnosis.

0:30:41 > 0:30:43Now, we need to do a biopsy to test the theory.

0:30:43 > 0:30:48- In the meantime, I'm going to get you started on a course of steroids. - Right.

0:30:48 > 0:30:51"How did you get married?" Nice try.

0:30:54 > 0:30:58- I know he's your patient, I shouldn't be getting involved... - Then why are you?

0:30:58 > 0:31:01You get your suspension lifted and you're interfering.

0:31:01 > 0:31:03No, Malick just brought me up to speed and I think...

0:31:03 > 0:31:06Mr Malick had no business bringing you up to speed!

0:31:06 > 0:31:10It was nothing. You're just over-reacting. I know about gunshot wounds...

0:31:10 > 0:31:12I get it. This is a nice high-profile case -

0:31:12 > 0:31:17- an opportunity for you to demonstrate how indispensable you are.- I'm just trying to help.

0:31:17 > 0:31:20Gentlemen, do you think we could continue this in private?

0:31:24 > 0:31:26- So?- Diathermy and clip the vessels.

0:31:26 > 0:31:30- We've done that - it's not possible. - It is.- No.

0:31:30 > 0:31:33- Look, it's all about speed. You've got to work fast. - What do you think I did?

0:31:33 > 0:31:35Not fast enough.

0:31:35 > 0:31:38Look, no offence, but I can clip and tie much faster.

0:31:38 > 0:31:40What's your opinion, Mr Malick?

0:31:40 > 0:31:43His bowel's leaking and he's developing coagulopathy -

0:31:43 > 0:31:46- either way he needs to go back into theatre.- So?

0:31:46 > 0:31:50Well, if what Mr Spence says is right, then perhaps...

0:31:51 > 0:31:53..it makes sense to...er...

0:31:56 > 0:32:00- Your decision, I think. - Quite so. Would you care to oversee?

0:32:00 > 0:32:04You want me to assist in an operation on my own patient?

0:32:04 > 0:32:06Oversee, yes.

0:32:17 > 0:32:19Mr Harper.

0:32:19 > 0:32:23I just wanted to let you know that we are going to take Owen back into theatre.

0:32:23 > 0:32:24Right.

0:32:26 > 0:32:28Don't let him die.

0:32:33 > 0:32:35BABY CRIES

0:32:35 > 0:32:37What happened?

0:32:37 > 0:32:41Pulmonary congestion. So there is a CT component to this.

0:32:41 > 0:32:44BABY CONTINUES TO CRY

0:32:44 > 0:32:50- Oh, God.- It's OK. She's got fluid on her lungs which is causing breathing problems but she'll be OK.

0:32:50 > 0:32:54- Can you treat it?- Yeah, we can give her a course of amoxillin and she should be fine.

0:32:54 > 0:32:56So we were right?

0:32:56 > 0:33:00- I knew there was something up with her - you just didn't listen. - I think you'll find...

0:33:00 > 0:33:02- You thought you knew better. - Well, normally I do.

0:33:02 > 0:33:06We would have had a diagnosis sooner if she had had an MRI.

0:33:09 > 0:33:12- I'm just saying that...- Thanks.

0:33:12 > 0:33:15- Shall I go and have a chat with her? - No.- OK.

0:33:15 > 0:33:17Ollie, can you, please...?

0:33:17 > 0:33:22No, you need to speak to her. You're her consultant, allegedly,

0:33:22 > 0:33:23not some junior.

0:33:23 > 0:33:28Look, however bolshy she may appear, she's clearly very vulnerable.

0:33:28 > 0:33:32I don't want your opinion. Just do what I've asked you to do, OK?

0:33:32 > 0:33:35There is one thing I'd like to ask you, actually.

0:33:35 > 0:33:39- What's happening with you and Spence?- What do you mean? - He sent you a text.

0:33:39 > 0:33:41I didn't mean to read it. I was looking for your results

0:33:41 > 0:33:43and it flashed on your phone in front of me.

0:33:43 > 0:33:49- You don't know anything!- And I don't want to. Just maybe it accounts for why you're being so reactive today.

0:33:49 > 0:33:52You've got a lot on your mind.

0:33:54 > 0:33:57She still needs to sign off on that anaesthetic.

0:33:57 > 0:34:00She's not going to listen to me, so you have to do it.

0:34:00 > 0:34:04Surely it's the least she deserves - some contact with someone senior.

0:34:04 > 0:34:07She's been treated pretty shoddily today.

0:34:11 > 0:34:12All right.

0:34:20 > 0:34:24So you got put on the spot back in the office. Sorry about that.

0:34:24 > 0:34:25It's fine.

0:34:25 > 0:34:28Still, I appreciate the support.

0:34:29 > 0:34:32Well I can afford to be altruistic, you know.

0:34:32 > 0:34:34You get sacked, I maybe get your job.

0:34:34 > 0:34:37DOOR OPENS

0:34:37 > 0:34:42- OK, 80 systolic. We've got loads of bleeds. - Yeah, that's what we expected.

0:34:42 > 0:34:46All right, this is the deal. Like I said, this is all about speed.

0:34:46 > 0:34:48Diathermy, clips, no finesse. Let's go.

0:35:08 > 0:35:11- Suction. We've got some bowel spillage here. - Yeah, I got it. Clips.

0:35:11 > 0:35:14Oh, man...

0:35:14 > 0:35:16Good. Clip. Better.

0:35:18 > 0:35:19OK, here. Very good.

0:35:22 > 0:35:25Yes, very good.

0:35:27 > 0:35:29HE EXHALES

0:35:30 > 0:35:32Er...can you...?

0:35:34 > 0:35:35It's the spleen.

0:35:37 > 0:35:39And?

0:35:40 > 0:35:44You're not sure? Perhaps you're a little jetlagged.

0:35:44 > 0:35:46Or maybe a little shell-shocked after Mrs Stables?

0:35:46 > 0:35:51- I'm just trying to save the patient. - Yes, there's rather a lot riding on it, isn't there?

0:35:51 > 0:35:55Let's just get it out. Come on.

0:36:00 > 0:36:02All right.

0:36:07 > 0:36:09Clips and ties.

0:36:25 > 0:36:26OK.

0:36:26 > 0:36:29Good.

0:36:29 > 0:36:30That's done it.

0:36:30 > 0:36:32All right.

0:36:33 > 0:36:36- WARNING BEEPS - There's swelling.

0:36:36 > 0:36:38Retroperitoneum.

0:36:38 > 0:36:41MICHAEL SIGHS

0:36:41 > 0:36:44What do you want to do?

0:36:45 > 0:36:47Take the kidney out. Yes or no?

0:36:47 > 0:36:49Yeah.

0:36:49 > 0:36:51BEEPING CONTINUES

0:36:51 > 0:36:55ANXIOUSLY: All right, dissecting scissors, please.

0:36:58 > 0:37:01MICHAEL EXHALES

0:37:04 > 0:37:06All right.

0:37:06 > 0:37:09Clips and ties, please.

0:37:10 > 0:37:13BEEPING STABILISES

0:37:13 > 0:37:15HE EXHALES

0:37:24 > 0:37:27What caused the infection, then?

0:37:28 > 0:37:32- It's impossible to say without....- Me?

0:37:32 > 0:37:33What?

0:37:33 > 0:37:37Caused by me, because, like you said...

0:37:37 > 0:37:40because I wouldn't let her have an MRI.

0:37:40 > 0:37:42Well, we might have found out sooner.

0:37:42 > 0:37:44So it is my fault.

0:37:44 > 0:37:48- Listen, I was rude to you on the ward and I'm sorry. - Is it my fault or not?

0:37:48 > 0:37:52Look, sometimes it's something viral that triggers it off,

0:37:52 > 0:37:55or maybe there's another underlying cause of some kind.

0:37:55 > 0:37:59Now, if I give me permission to go ahead and do the MRI

0:37:59 > 0:38:01then I can find out.

0:38:02 > 0:38:06- I'm useless.- Do you have any family around who can give you some support?

0:38:10 > 0:38:14Look, I try, OK? But I don't always know what to do for the best

0:38:14 > 0:38:16and I kind of get strung out with it.

0:38:18 > 0:38:21I get these...times...

0:38:22 > 0:38:26I could just wrap her up warm and put her on some doorstep.

0:38:26 > 0:38:31- You don't mean that. - Yeah, I do. And when she's crying and I can't make her stop...

0:38:35 > 0:38:37I honestly think she'd be better with people

0:38:37 > 0:38:40who know what they're doing. I'm not fit to do this, am I?

0:38:47 > 0:38:49(Sorry.)

0:38:51 > 0:38:53Look, why don't I take you back upstairs?

0:38:53 > 0:38:54Now?

0:38:59 > 0:39:03Do you want another coffee or something? I get staff rates.

0:39:07 > 0:39:09OK.

0:39:16 > 0:39:18- SHE SIGHS - Cappuccino, please.

0:39:35 > 0:39:37I will be taking this up again with Hanssen.

0:39:37 > 0:39:42- Why, what's the problem? The operation was a complete success. - I mean you being here.

0:39:48 > 0:39:51It's all going to be fine.

0:39:51 > 0:39:54Thank you for saving his life!

0:39:55 > 0:39:56My life too!

0:39:56 > 0:39:59Now it was a little touch-and-go in there for a moment.

0:39:59 > 0:40:02- I had to remove one of his kidneys...- You had to do that?

0:40:02 > 0:40:04It was the only way to stop the bleeding.

0:40:04 > 0:40:06Who had to remove the kidney?

0:40:06 > 0:40:09So, what, you're not going to say anything?

0:40:09 > 0:40:12- But he's OK?- Yeah, he's going to be fine.

0:40:12 > 0:40:13Oh, thank you.

0:40:18 > 0:40:21So, what, did she just walk? What did you say to her?

0:40:21 > 0:40:25- Nothing! I just tried to get her to sign for the MRI.- And did she?- No.

0:40:25 > 0:40:26Right, what do we do?

0:40:26 > 0:40:32- I've tried calling Nicole's mobile - no answer.- We'll have to contact Social Services and the courts...

0:40:32 > 0:40:35I've done all of that. Covered all bases.

0:40:35 > 0:40:37- Thank you. - I told you she was vulnerable.

0:40:41 > 0:40:45Thanks. Hello? Yeah, speaking.

0:40:48 > 0:40:54SHE SPEAKS IN HER OWN LANGUAGE

0:41:00 > 0:41:02You done?

0:41:07 > 0:41:09Keith, I'll see you in a minute, OK?

0:41:16 > 0:41:21- So how are the wedding plans coming along?- What is it with you?

0:41:21 > 0:41:24- Why? What have I said?- You know exactly how to wind me up.

0:41:25 > 0:41:27Sorry.

0:41:32 > 0:41:34Keith's in safe hands, you know.

0:41:34 > 0:41:36- TEARFULLY:- Yeah.

0:41:36 > 0:41:38SHE SOBS

0:41:40 > 0:41:41Here, come with me.

0:41:47 > 0:41:50I'm a vile, horrible, evil woman.

0:41:50 > 0:41:53OK. Now, is this just today or...?

0:41:59 > 0:42:04- Wow. Is that you?- You know where I found that? In Keith's wallet.

0:42:04 > 0:42:08We had a fling for a couple of days 40 years ago,

0:42:08 > 0:42:11and he's kept that on him since.

0:42:11 > 0:42:14Now the doctor's starting him on steroids,

0:42:14 > 0:42:18and he's going to get his sight back. What's he going to think then?

0:42:19 > 0:42:23To him, I've always been love's young dream.

0:42:23 > 0:42:26I want him to see - of course I do -

0:42:26 > 0:42:29just...not me.

0:42:29 > 0:42:31Have you talked to him about this?

0:42:31 > 0:42:33God, no.

0:42:33 > 0:42:36However blissful it is in the beginning, it's never happy ever after,

0:42:36 > 0:42:41not in my experience. Something tells me it's not yours either.

0:42:41 > 0:42:45- Well, I'm getting married, so... - Oh! To the dishy doctor!

0:42:45 > 0:42:49- That's why he was asking about weddings?- Mmm-hmm.

0:42:49 > 0:42:53- He talks about it all the time. - Oh, he's like Keith, is he?

0:42:53 > 0:42:58Wants to shout it from the rooftops. "This is it, the future, let's celebrate!"

0:42:58 > 0:43:02Except Keith doesn't know what the rest of the world does -

0:43:02 > 0:43:05that his partner's faded and ugly.

0:43:07 > 0:43:09No!

0:43:11 > 0:43:1540-odd years - you can't just walk away from that now, can you?

0:43:15 > 0:43:18There you go.

0:43:18 > 0:43:22- I thought you said this wouldn't hurt!- I didn't feel a thing!

0:43:22 > 0:43:26Owen Thomas' family want to make a statement supporting you.

0:43:26 > 0:43:28They read what's been in the papers

0:43:28 > 0:43:32- and they think it would be good if the other side of the story was put. - Really?

0:43:32 > 0:43:34I think it's a rather a good idea myself.

0:43:34 > 0:43:37"Suspended surgeon returns in a blaze of glory.

0:43:37 > 0:43:41"Sunil Bhatti blamed, Michael Spence exonerated."

0:43:41 > 0:43:44So whatever happened to this mythical evidence, then?

0:43:44 > 0:43:47It seems Mrs Stables is not beyond a little politicking.

0:43:47 > 0:43:52She rather hoped you'd hang yourself, I suspect. Instead, patients publicly praise you,

0:43:52 > 0:43:55which makes it difficult for her to justify taking further action.

0:43:55 > 0:43:57She's nothing if not pragmatic -

0:43:57 > 0:44:00happy to see your name in lights as long as the hospital benefits.

0:44:03 > 0:44:07I didn't plan it this way, you know. I didn't ask for Mr Harper to support me publicly.

0:44:07 > 0:44:11Perhaps not. But all the pieces seem to be falling into place for you, don't they?

0:44:14 > 0:44:18No, I need flight information.

0:44:18 > 0:44:20Kiev.

0:44:20 > 0:44:22I'll hold.

0:44:22 > 0:44:25The doc said things aren't going to get any worse.

0:44:25 > 0:44:29- And they're already starting to get a bit better, so...- Good.

0:44:32 > 0:44:36(I'm supposed to keep my eyes shut, but I can't resist.)

0:44:36 > 0:44:39- No, no, Keith, you'll hurt yourself. - Come on. No, let me, please?

0:44:39 > 0:44:42- No, no...- Oh, come on, look at me, look at me, hey?

0:44:50 > 0:44:51Wow.

0:44:51 > 0:44:54- Oh, come on. - You've always been beautiful,

0:44:54 > 0:44:58but, you see, it's not just about looks with you.

0:45:00 > 0:45:03- You are just sublime, you are. - Oh, Keith.

0:45:03 > 0:45:07You're my love, all right? Like I'm yours,

0:45:07 > 0:45:10whether or not my eyes work,

0:45:10 > 0:45:13because I see you anyway.

0:45:13 > 0:45:17Just the way you are. Hey?

0:45:17 > 0:45:18That's it.

0:45:21 > 0:45:25- Do the steroids work that quickly? - No.

0:45:25 > 0:45:26His vision's all but gone.

0:45:26 > 0:45:30- He left it too late to ask for help. - But she thinks that..?

0:45:35 > 0:45:39Are we taking bets on who comes up for air first?

0:45:39 > 0:45:41Sacha? Thanks.

0:45:41 > 0:45:45- Something's come up. I have to leave right away. - OK. You want to tell me?

0:45:45 > 0:45:47Not really. No-one's died but...

0:45:49 > 0:45:52So, you're going to say yes or do I go anyway?

0:45:52 > 0:45:55- I say yes. - Thanks.

0:45:57 > 0:46:00We can't do anything. No transfusion, no anaesthetic,

0:46:00 > 0:46:02nothing without the mother's written consent.

0:46:02 > 0:46:05You want me to get on to family court?

0:46:05 > 0:46:07Ah, he takes some responsibility(!)

0:46:07 > 0:46:10- Your ward, Jac. - Your patient, Sean.

0:46:10 > 0:46:12- So the buck stops with me, eh? - No, with us.

0:46:12 > 0:46:14We both have to sort this out.

0:46:14 > 0:46:17Yeah, that's what I've been saying all day.

0:46:17 > 0:46:21Listen, I know you're under the cosh, you're not your usual easy-going self.

0:46:21 > 0:46:23So I have a solution.

0:46:23 > 0:46:27Would you like to meet up later on? I'll show you.

0:46:27 > 0:46:31- Hm?- Work out some of that tension out.- I...don't think so.

0:46:31 > 0:46:33I'll let you tie me up.

0:46:34 > 0:46:35Er, Ollie?

0:46:35 > 0:46:37I have a proposition for you.

0:46:37 > 0:46:40Sahira was telling me about a new research award.

0:46:40 > 0:46:44- Fancy working with me? - I don't need to be bought, Jac. Thought that was clear.

0:46:44 > 0:46:47- I didn't mean...- Look, I understand you're nervous,

0:46:47 > 0:46:51but I'm not the kind to get dirt on someone and hold them to ransom, OK?

0:46:51 > 0:46:53Which is precisely why I'm offering this to you,

0:46:53 > 0:46:57because I need an F2 on the project who I can trust.

0:46:57 > 0:47:00- Right. - This isn't a bribe, Ollie.

0:47:00 > 0:47:02I wouldn't be so vulgar.

0:47:02 > 0:47:05Anyway, just let me know by the end of today.

0:47:09 > 0:47:13All right, I appreciate that. Thank you very much for your help.

0:47:13 > 0:47:15All right, bye-bye.

0:47:15 > 0:47:17Mm! The way you work these people, man.

0:47:17 > 0:47:21- What you talking about? - You removed the kidney, yeah?

0:47:21 > 0:47:24You saved his life? Please! Ric saved that kid in there.

0:47:24 > 0:47:26Oh come on, give me a break! It was just a moment.

0:47:26 > 0:47:30And what did you do? Exactly what he said you would.

0:47:30 > 0:47:33You bigged yourself up and took all the glory.

0:47:33 > 0:47:35Everything all right?

0:47:35 > 0:47:38- Yeah. - In that case the press are waiting.

0:47:46 > 0:47:49- Frieda didn't say why she had to go? - No.

0:47:49 > 0:47:51And you didn't think about asking?

0:47:51 > 0:47:54I didn't think it was any of my business. Did you?

0:47:54 > 0:47:57MOBILE BEEPS

0:48:22 > 0:48:24Shall we, Mr Harper?

0:48:27 > 0:48:31Good afternoon, everyone. I have a short statement. I'm delighted the hospital

0:48:31 > 0:48:34has decided that I don't have a case to answer for.

0:48:34 > 0:48:38That's not to say there are any winners in this, of course.

0:48:38 > 0:48:41The demise of the plastics department has been a massive blow

0:48:41 > 0:48:44to this hospital and it's going to take us some time

0:48:44 > 0:48:48to get over it. Thank you.

0:48:49 > 0:48:52No, sorry. Wait, there is one other thing.

0:48:54 > 0:48:57I want to say I'm touched that Mr Harper

0:48:57 > 0:49:02wanted to publicly acknowledge the work we did with Owen,

0:49:02 > 0:49:07but I can't claim sole credit for that. Unfortunately, that's not the impression

0:49:07 > 0:49:10that I gave to him in the heat of the moment.

0:49:12 > 0:49:15After the press I've been getting, I think the temptation

0:49:15 > 0:49:18to claim credit for something positive

0:49:18 > 0:49:20just proved too much for me.

0:49:22 > 0:49:25Everything we do in this hospital is as a team.

0:49:25 > 0:49:26And when we succeed,

0:49:26 > 0:49:30we do so because of that ethic.

0:49:30 > 0:49:34That's all I want to say. Thank you.

0:49:34 > 0:49:36PRESS CLAMOUR

0:49:38 > 0:49:41Thank you, ladies and gentlemen. Thank you.

0:50:07 > 0:50:09I get it.

0:50:09 > 0:50:13You've been married before, so to you the big wedding seems silly

0:50:13 > 0:50:17and stale. And you don't feel right,

0:50:17 > 0:50:21because you want to be you and what I've planned

0:50:21 > 0:50:24feels made-up and untrue. Am I anywhere near?

0:50:25 > 0:50:28And you're worried about looking like mutton

0:50:28 > 0:50:31- in some enormous white dress... - Hey, careful!

0:50:31 > 0:50:34And I have been banging on about Michael Buble

0:50:34 > 0:50:37when you've just failed your pre-lim exams.

0:50:39 > 0:50:43So, do you really want just four people in a registry office?

0:50:44 > 0:50:48Something in between that and the full production.

0:50:54 > 0:50:58- So we are still on then? - Yeah, of course we are.

0:50:58 > 0:51:01I was worried back there for a minute.

0:51:03 > 0:51:08Anyway, we never got around to doing this properly, so...

0:51:12 > 0:51:13Oh.

0:51:13 > 0:51:15I can exchange it for something simpler?

0:51:15 > 0:51:18Think I can put up with it...

0:51:18 > 0:51:19..for your sake.

0:51:24 > 0:51:26Thank you.

0:51:39 > 0:51:43I heard about your press statement. Very impressive.

0:51:46 > 0:51:49Ric, I did try to pull Sunil in line, you know.

0:51:49 > 0:51:54So you're telling me you actually knew what was going on all the time?

0:51:56 > 0:51:59Is that what you're saying?

0:51:59 > 0:52:02- I had nothing to do with this. - But you knew?

0:52:02 > 0:52:05Ric, put yourself in my shoes for a minute, all right?

0:52:05 > 0:52:07I begged Sunil to clean his act up.

0:52:07 > 0:52:09- What else could I do? - Blow the whistle on him.

0:52:09 > 0:52:11You put the hospital first

0:52:11 > 0:52:14rather than your own career. There are other priorities.

0:52:14 > 0:52:17We put the patients first!

0:52:17 > 0:52:21- Don't preach at me, Ric. You of all people...- Meaning?

0:52:21 > 0:52:23Meaning you ran off with my wife.

0:52:23 > 0:52:25There's only so much outrage I can take from you.

0:52:25 > 0:52:28Please! She left you because of the affairs.

0:52:28 > 0:52:30Don't try and rewrite it.

0:52:30 > 0:52:34You're always going to want more, You're always going to want someone or something else,

0:52:34 > 0:52:36because the job that you do

0:52:36 > 0:52:39and the people you work with aren't good enough, are they?

0:52:39 > 0:52:42- Oh, come on. - I don't want that around me anymore.

0:52:42 > 0:52:44I want to work with somebody I trust, who has integrity.

0:52:44 > 0:52:47I think you'll find others feel the same.

0:52:47 > 0:52:51- Ric, just give me a break... - No, Michael. It's over for you here.

0:52:51 > 0:52:54One way or another, it's over.

0:53:09 > 0:53:12The police called. Still no sign of the mother.

0:53:12 > 0:53:14- Right.- The courts have made you in loco parentis,

0:53:14 > 0:53:18so you can go ahead with the scan. But I see you're doing it anyway.

0:53:19 > 0:53:23Good to be official though.

0:53:23 > 0:53:26So this research project, what's the topic?

0:53:26 > 0:53:28Therapeutic hypothermia.

0:53:29 > 0:53:30Right.

0:53:32 > 0:53:34- And?- That sounds fascinating.

0:53:34 > 0:53:36So?

0:53:39 > 0:53:41I'd be delighted.

0:53:42 > 0:53:44Good.

0:55:02 > 0:55:05Mr Spence. Before you go, I thought you'd might like to know

0:55:05 > 0:55:08that a decision has been taken not to pursue

0:55:08 > 0:55:11- any further internal disciplinary measures against you.- OK.

0:55:11 > 0:55:14So you'll be officially reinstated as of tomorrow

0:55:14 > 0:55:18and I'd like you to begin work back on Keller, please.

0:55:18 > 0:55:21- I don't think so. - What?

0:55:22 > 0:55:25I've spoken to colleagues and I think Mrs Stables is right.

0:55:25 > 0:55:28- The past months have damaged my standing here.- I see.

0:55:28 > 0:55:31I don't think I'll be able to rebuild the trust people had in me.

0:55:31 > 0:55:33So what are you saying?

0:55:34 > 0:55:36I'm going to resign.

0:55:36 > 0:55:38Is this an attempt to elicit sympathy?

0:55:38 > 0:55:40No! Hell, no.

0:55:40 > 0:55:44- I've been thinking about this. My mind is made up.- I see.

0:55:44 > 0:55:48There's nothing I can say that will convince you otherwise, I take it?

0:55:48 > 0:55:50No.

0:55:52 > 0:55:55- You will work out your three months' notice.- Oh, come on!

0:55:55 > 0:55:58I've issued a press statement saying you've been exonerated.

0:55:58 > 0:56:01I'm issuing another saying you've resigned. Looks like a cover up.

0:56:01 > 0:56:04Please don't make me work my notice.

0:56:04 > 0:56:08I accept your resignation, Mr Spence, but on my terms - not yours.

0:56:11 > 0:56:14In writing, on my desk, tomorrow morning.
