It's not an easy job market out there.

0:00:390:00:41

Especially for a woman who clutters her career path with children... and a husband.

0:00:410:00:45

Ms Shah, this woman needs a splenectomy.

0:00:510:00:53

If your thoughts are elsewhere, leave and I'll continue.

0:00:530:00:56

-Dan!

-I love you, I love you so much.

0:00:560:01:00

I don't want to wait any more.

0:01:010:01:03

-You're all heart(!)

-You know what your problem is?

0:01:030:01:05

-You want them all to fall in love with you.

-That's rubbish.

0:01:050:01:08

That's why you're not consultant material.

0:01:080:01:10

-What are you trying to tell me? You're attracted to other women?

-Not just women.

0:01:100:01:14

HE SPEAKS SWEDISH

0:01:170:01:20

That was amazing. No really, it was marvellous.

0:01:400:01:44

You do realise I don't actually understand Swedish?

0:01:440:01:49

No, well thankfully the president of the academy does

0:01:490:01:51

but actually the main body of the presentation

0:01:510:01:54

will be in English.

0:01:540:01:55

Well, I know how much it always means to you to go back home.

0:01:550:01:59

-So will you have time to go to the opera?

-Perhaps.

0:01:590:02:04

I loved that building, it just took my breath away. And the opera -

0:02:040:02:08

what was it called - The Flying...?

0:02:080:02:10

Der Fliegende Hollander.

0:02:100:02:12

Yes, that's it, I compared it to Les Mis

0:02:120:02:15

and you almost choked on your brannvin.

0:02:150:02:17

HE CORRECTS PRONUNCIATION: Brannvin.

0:02:170:02:20

Of course. Anyway, you are going to be mesmerising, whatever language.

0:02:200:02:25

Nervous?

0:02:330:02:34

Not particularly.

0:02:340:02:36

Shock to the system, huh?

0:02:380:02:39

I mean, an exam first thing Monday morning -

0:02:410:02:43

I mean, it's a flagrant violation of basic human rights.

0:02:430:02:47

Yeah, at least it gets it out of the way.

0:02:490:02:52

Well, good luck.

0:02:520:02:54

Thanks for the lift.

0:02:540:02:56

I'll pick you up after. We could spend the afternoon together.

0:02:580:03:02

-Maybe watch a movie?

-Ah, I can't - I've got my final dress fitting.

0:03:020:03:05

Well, I'll take you. Unless you think it's bad luck?

0:03:050:03:08

I'll see you after the exam.

0:03:080:03:10

Oh, would you hand this to my secretary on your way out, please, for her to proof read?

0:03:160:03:21

Sure.

0:03:210:03:22

Why does it say that?

0:03:240:03:26

-Sorry what, what does it say?

-Henrik Hanssen and Sahira Shah?

0:03:260:03:29

Me? To Stockholm?

0:03:310:03:33

-This weekend.

-To the conference?

0:03:330:03:35

No, to an ABBA concert.

0:03:350:03:37

But that would mean presenting in front of the president of the academy.

0:03:370:03:41

I wrote my dissertation on her specialism.

0:03:410:03:44

So, do I take that to be a yes?

0:03:440:03:45

Thank you.

0:03:450:03:47

-It really does mean a lot.

-No less than you deserve.

0:03:480:03:51

Eugh, didn't realise it was show and tell day.

0:03:570:04:00

Oh, Pinky? She's my good luck charm.

0:04:000:04:02

-Oh, good call - working with Mr Griffin today, you're going to need it.

-Why?

0:04:020:04:06

Don't know the specifics but they say the honeymoon's over

0:04:060:04:10

between him and Annalese and he's in a foul mood.

0:04:100:04:13

Aw, poor Mr Griffin.

0:04:130:04:14

Well - Spence's leftovers - it was bound to end in tears.

0:04:140:04:17

Anyway, why good luck?

0:04:170:04:18

It's my driving test today.

0:04:180:04:20

Oh, you on a road, in charge of a vehicle?

0:04:210:04:24

Can I have a coffee?

0:04:250:04:27

Ah, sorry, too late.

0:04:270:04:29

I have a busy day ahead of me.

0:04:290:04:30

So do I.

0:04:300:04:31

Cracking bones into place doesn't require the same mental acuity

0:04:310:04:35

as suturing a beating heart.

0:04:350:04:37

-How old are you, Valentine?

-Young...and caffeinated.

0:04:400:04:43

I'm going to go and find some grownups to converse with.

0:04:450:04:49

She thinks I'm going to fail, doesn't she?

0:04:490:04:51

Oh, don't let her bother you. You can always re-take.

0:04:510:04:54

No, no I can't.

0:04:540:04:56

I'm already up to the end of my overdraft.

0:04:560:04:58

I had to borrow the money off my dad and that felt bad enough.

0:04:580:05:01

So, no, this is my only shot.

0:05:010:05:04

Great, thank you.

0:05:040:05:06

Hello, I'm Sister Williams and you are...Trisha?

0:05:100:05:13

Mrs Allen!

0:05:130:05:16

Right, sorry...Mrs Allen.

0:05:160:05:20

OK, now I can see from your notes that you've been experiencing pain in your ears?

0:05:200:05:24

-Yes, they're very sore.

-Right, er, OK,

0:05:240:05:26

so I need to do an examination

0:05:260:05:29

to see if we can identify... any problems...

0:05:290:05:31

..such as, er... Such as infection.

0:05:330:05:37

OK, so I'm going to carry out an examination, if that's OK?

0:05:370:05:40

Did I just say that? Sorry.

0:05:400:05:44

You jammy so and so. Why can't I go to Sweden?

0:05:440:05:47

The beer's amazing, not to mention the women.

0:05:470:05:49

I think you just answered your own question.

0:05:490:05:51

Mr Hanssen, are you familiar with the Richardson case?

0:05:510:05:55

-It's a Patent Foramen Ovale?

-Extremely rare.

0:05:550:05:58

Exactly why I was hoping I might scrub in...

0:05:580:06:00

No, out of the question, I'm afraid. Now, I was paged - a GS consult?

0:06:000:06:04

Thank you.

0:06:050:06:06

-Good morning, what do we have?

-This is Amy...

0:06:060:06:09

-Patient complaining of shortness of breath...

-One at a time, please.

0:06:090:06:13

She fell over, didn't you, Amy?

0:06:130:06:15

I was running for the bus and I tripped.

0:06:150:06:18

-Ms Reynolds, isn't it?

-Hello, Mr Hanssen. This is my daughter, Amy.

0:06:180:06:22

I'm often here, I'm an on-call counsellor.

0:06:220:06:25

Amy sustained a low impact fracture, which I've set in a cast. Her BP is high - 120-90.

0:06:250:06:29

Her temperature's slightly raised, 37.5, as is her pulse - 80.

0:06:290:06:33

She has atrial fibrillation, and a fluttering discomfort in the neck.

0:06:330:06:37

-So I'm going to order an ECG, Echo, and CT.

-Is it serious?

0:06:370:06:40

Let's run some tests and see what we're dealing with.

0:06:400:06:44

-And you were saying your tummy hurts, weren't you?

-Mind if I take a look?

0:06:440:06:48

Just hold that up there out of the way, please.

0:06:480:06:52

-I should be at school.

-It's OK, Amy, health comes first.

0:06:520:06:55

It doesn't feel distended, does it hurt when I press...?

0:06:550:06:59

But I've got coursework to hand in. GCSEs?

0:07:000:07:02

A levels.

0:07:020:07:05

I'm 18.

0:07:050:07:06

Nurse Lane? I've assigned you to a unique case today.

0:07:080:07:11

-I hope you're feeling confident?

-Me?

0:07:110:07:13

Yes, Mr Griffin, definitely.

0:07:130:07:17

Good, because your expertise will be required to supervise a patient

0:07:170:07:22

whose gall stone in the bowel I'll be removing this afternoon.

0:07:220:07:26

Follow me. Two things to be aware of. Firstly the patient will be conscious

0:07:260:07:30

throughout the procedure because of his asthma and secondly he's... Well, you'll see.

0:07:300:07:37

Andy, this is Nurse Lane, she'll be looking after you today.

0:07:370:07:41

-Hello.

-Can you step to the right?

0:07:410:07:45

-Like this?

-Too far.

-Better?

0:07:450:07:48

-I have to be able to see the door.

-Oh, I'm like that on trains.

0:07:480:07:52

-Have to be on the aisle side.

-How are you feeling about the operation?

0:07:520:07:56

-Why're you asking me that?

-I didn't mean to worry you...

-Should I be worried?

0:07:560:08:00

Is that what you're saying, I should be worried?!

0:08:000:08:03

I wouldn't be, not with Mr Griffin as your surgeon. He's excellent.

0:08:030:08:07

-Will there be a needle?

-Yeah.

-How big is the needle?

-Hmm, about that big.

0:08:070:08:11

-What will the room be like?

-Shall I draw you a picture?

0:08:110:08:14

Right well, I'll leave you to it. I'll see you later, Andy.

0:08:170:08:23

Chantelle - or should I call you Picasso? - well done.

0:08:230:08:27

-You have a nice smile.

-Aww, thank you.

0:08:310:08:35

This is Amy's X-ray. You might be interested to see one from a nine-year-old patient.

0:08:370:08:41

-As you can see - there's very little difference.

-Theories?

-Could be anorexia?

0:08:410:08:45

That would delay puberty, the lack of calcium would erode bone density.

0:08:450:08:49

Or diet pills - might explain the irregular heart rhythm.

0:08:490:08:52

That's possible. Well, shall we see what she has to say?

0:08:520:08:56

Hello again. Er, do you mind if we ask you a few more questions?

0:08:580:09:04

It's OK, darling, go ahead.

0:09:040:09:05

OK.

0:09:050:09:06

-So are your periods regular?

-I haven't had one yet.

0:09:060:09:09

But it's not like a big deal, is it, Mum?

0:09:090:09:12

No, no, I didn't start mine until I was 17.

0:09:120:09:15

-My mother was the same.

-I'm not... I'm not a freak, am I?

0:09:150:09:18

No more than the rest of us.

0:09:180:09:20

-And your dad's side of the family?

-The Worm?!

0:09:200:09:24

Aimes! Amy's father left when she was a toddler.

0:09:240:09:28

Can't say I ever discussed his mother's monthlies.

0:09:280:09:31

Have you ever gone on a diet? Are you taking any medication? Any pills?

0:09:310:09:34

-Just vitamins.

-We could do an ultrasound and ensure there's nothing amiss.

0:09:340:09:39

Right, sure. Can't do any harm, eh, Aimes?

0:09:390:09:42

-No.

-Thank you.

0:09:420:09:44

I wasn't unduly concerned about her abdomen. Can you order the scan?

0:09:440:09:47

-I'll get onto it if you like?

-How many times, Oliver? You - bones.

0:09:470:09:51

Me - hearts.

0:09:510:09:53

I gather you're addressing the Stockholm Multi-Discipline Symposium this weekend?

0:09:530:09:57

-Indeed.

-Are you taking anyone?

0:09:570:10:00

The jungle drums are in full voice this morning.

0:10:000:10:03

Well, you should take me. I've worked across both GS and CT

0:10:030:10:07

and I have a glittering array of pre-dinner anecdotes in my arsenal.

0:10:070:10:11

That's fighting talk indeed. But I'm afraid the slot has already been filled.

0:10:110:10:15

-I see. I'm the consultant here, not Ms Shah.

-Yet there is one area in which she has a definite advantage.

0:10:150:10:20

her ability to behave like a human being rather than a disgruntled barracuda.

0:10:200:10:25

Chrissie.

0:10:280:10:30

How'd it go?

0:10:300:10:32

Yeah, it was fine.

0:10:320:10:33

Great.

0:10:330:10:35

Ready to go?

0:10:360:10:38

-So, er, I've got an arty Spanish film or...

-Do you know what, I can't.

0:10:380:10:42

What?!

0:10:420:10:44

-Luc just called from AAU and they're heaving.

-You didn't volunteer?

0:10:440:10:48

-Sorry.

-No worries.

0:10:480:10:50

But you're coming over tonight, you and Daniel, and I'm cooking.

0:10:500:10:54

No excuses for not staying over now you don't have to revise.

0:10:540:10:58

She's fine - fractured a bone

0:11:000:11:02

and they're running a few tests just to be on the safe side.

0:11:020:11:06

Becky. Unwin? Why, what's happened?

0:11:070:11:11

Oh...right. Sure, sure.

0:11:140:11:18

Oh, crap!

0:11:240:11:27

I love your expletives, they're so mumsy.

0:11:270:11:29

I am so dead.

0:11:290:11:31

The conference!

0:11:320:11:34

Didn't know you were working today?

0:11:360:11:38

You complaining?

0:11:380:11:39

Christmas party season?

0:11:390:11:41

If a reindeer wanted a shift, I'd gladly hand it a uniform.

0:11:410:11:44

-It's extra cash.

-Dan know, does he?

0:11:440:11:47

-Excuse me?

-You're building up a run away fund already.

0:11:470:11:50

Mr Choudhury?

0:11:520:11:55

Hey, Sister Williams. Thought it was your day off.

0:11:550:11:58

It wasn't what you think.

0:12:010:12:03

-Then how was it?

-What did he say?

-You kissed.

0:12:030:12:07

That was the end of it.

0:12:070:12:09

What, do you fancy him?

0:12:120:12:14

No, no, no, Chrissie, that's not how it was, trust me.

0:12:140:12:17

Don't make me feel stupid. You don't know how I feel.

0:12:170:12:20

Chrissie...

0:12:200:12:22

Right, Becky?

0:12:240:12:25

THAT'S my name. I thought it was doofus.

0:12:260:12:30

-So how did this happen?

-Got run over by a kid on a BMX.

0:12:310:12:35

You'd hope if you were going to wind up in hospital it'd be for something a tad more, impressive.

0:12:350:12:40

-Well, you won't be the first.

-See? Not even original.

0:12:400:12:43

What are the chances of me being out of here by tonight?

0:12:430:12:46

-Why, have you got something planned?

-Yes. A wake...for my 20s.

0:12:460:12:51

Congratulations.

0:12:510:12:53

The big 3-0. How did that happen?

0:12:530:12:57

Becky! There you are...

0:12:570:12:59

-Han, you must have a bat link to the hospital.

-I wish.

0:12:590:13:04

Sister Williams, Hannah. Hannah, Sister Williams.

0:13:040:13:09

I recognise you, don't I?

0:13:100:13:12

It's OK. She's my counsellor - she works here quite a lot.

0:13:120:13:18

I was raped, a year ago.

0:13:180:13:19

KNOCK ON DOOR Come in.

0:13:190:13:22

Ah, good.

0:13:220:13:24

Ah, do you go by the name of Shah on your passport or your married name?

0:13:240:13:28

Er, I, I stayed Shah. Why?

0:13:280:13:31

It's for your plane ticket for the conference.

0:13:310:13:34

What?

0:13:360:13:37

I can't go.

0:13:380:13:41

I see.

0:13:410:13:42

I'm so sorry, Henrik. It's er, it's personal reasons.

0:13:420:13:46

My wedding anniversary.

0:13:460:13:48

It's just that we always go back to the restaurant that he proposed in.

0:13:480:13:53

It's, er, it's a sort of, a tradition.

0:13:530:13:56

-Oh, well, there it is.

-So you don't mind?

0:13:560:13:59

-I know these things mean a lot to you.

-Well, maybe you could take someone else?

0:14:000:14:04

I think not.

0:14:040:14:05

I was really looking forward to going back to the opera.

0:14:050:14:08

Well, it was always a work trip, not a city break.

0:14:080:14:10

Anything else?

0:14:130:14:14

No.

0:14:140:14:16

Right.

0:14:160:14:18

Kelly, it was as I thought - book the ticket in the name of Shah.

0:14:280:14:32

Thank you.

0:14:320:14:33

This all seems fine. There's no nerve damage.

0:14:330:14:36

So I'm going to dress this for you and get some pain killers for you to take home.

0:14:360:14:40

You should be able to make your party.

0:14:400:14:42

Just be careful what you drink.

0:14:420:14:44

Talking of which...happy birthday.

0:14:450:14:49

Here, let me help you.

0:14:530:14:54

Was going to give you this at the office.

0:14:540:14:58

There we are.

0:14:580:15:00

You said you wanted to go travelling and see the Amalfi coast.

0:15:000:15:05

Thank you.

0:15:050:15:06

And here's me thinking you just came to nag.

0:15:080:15:11

I don't know what you mean.

0:15:110:15:12

You wouldn't think she was my star patient, would you?

0:15:120:15:16

She's really made amazing progress.

0:15:160:15:18

-Yeah, I can tell that.

-When we first met, I was a quivering wreck.

0:15:180:15:22

Five panic attacks before breakfast.

0:15:230:15:25

You should have seen my kitchen. There was cornflakes everywhere.

0:15:250:15:30

Right, I need to get back to my daughter on Darwin.

0:15:330:15:37

Er, you couldn't do me a favour, could you?

0:15:370:15:40

This is Becky's parents' number. Could you make sure they pick her up?

0:15:440:15:47

I don't like the thought of her going back to an empty flat.

0:15:470:15:51

-She's more vulnerable than she lets on.

-Yeah, of course. She seems OK.

0:15:510:15:55

Yes, things are very difficult.

0:15:550:15:58

Once the trust is gone, it's very hard to reclaim.

0:15:580:16:01

Thanks.

0:16:010:16:02

But I thought I was on the Amy Reynolds case?

0:16:050:16:07

I need to reference that case in Stockholm.

0:16:070:16:10

So you want Ms Shah on it, I see.

0:16:100:16:12

And I assume you've no problem with the rest of the surgical list for today?

0:16:120:16:15

Cos I particularly need a fine consultant for the Patent Foramen Ovale.

0:16:150:16:20

Hell, no, I've got no problem. As long as he doesn't keel over

0:16:200:16:24

at the sight of a disgruntled barracuda.

0:16:240:16:26

What's that?

0:16:340:16:35

Oh, silly, really. She's called Pinky.

0:16:360:16:40

But it's got blue hair, I don't understand?

0:16:400:16:42

It's a bit embarrassing.

0:16:420:16:45

When I was younger, I nagged my mum non-stop for a troll with pink hair

0:16:450:16:48

and then come Christmas morning, I finally got one

0:16:480:16:52

but it had blue hair. I was so disappointed, I cried all the way through the turkey.

0:16:520:16:56

My mum went ballistic and said I wouldn't get any chocolates unless I stopped being so spoilt.

0:16:560:17:00

So I decided to imagine her hair was pink and that's why she's called Pinky.

0:17:000:17:03

Impeccable logic, Nurse Lane.

0:17:030:17:06

He thinks I'm weird, doesn't he?

0:17:070:17:09

-Course not.

-It's what everyone thinks.

0:17:090:17:12

Trouble is, people like him - they make me even weirder.

0:17:120:17:15

-Don't worry, he thinks I'm weird too.

-Why?

0:17:150:17:18

The thing about people in this hospital is they say one thing,

0:17:180:17:21

but they mean the opposite. It's called sarcasm or irony, I can never remember which.

0:17:210:17:26

I don't understand sarcasm.

0:17:260:17:27

Me neither. I think it's just an excuse to be mean.

0:17:270:17:30

-What's wrong?

-Oh, butterflies.

0:17:330:17:36

-Where?

-No, I mean, I'm nervous. I've got my driving test today.

0:17:360:17:42

Oh, don't worry. I'll be back before your operation.

0:17:420:17:46

-Will you be there in the room while I'm having it?

-Long as I can clear it with Mr Griffin.

0:17:460:17:50

-Why wouldn't he?

-Course, he will. And I'll be back as soon as I can, promise.

0:17:500:17:54

It's a fairly straightforward repair of the valve

0:17:560:17:58

but you should do a tox screen - see if she's been taking anything.

0:17:580:18:01

Amy Reynolds? So she's Hannah's daughter. I assumed she was one of her clients.

0:18:010:18:05

Heart condition at 18 plus the fact that she's severely underdeveloped. It's looking more likely.

0:18:050:18:10

She's 18 years old? Gosh, poor Hannah - she must be beside herself.

0:18:100:18:16

So you don't mind that I'm taking over this case?

0:18:160:18:19

Not when I got top trumps. Oh, and I should warn you, hubby is all over this one.

0:18:190:18:24

He wants to investigate the development issue

0:18:240:18:26

and include it in the Swedish shindig.

0:18:260:18:28

-Something wrong?

-Can we drop this hubby malarkey?

0:18:300:18:33

This whole sleeping with the boss thing is getting really tired.

0:18:330:18:36

Oh, I'm way past imagining Hanssen with a sex life.

0:18:360:18:38

-No, what you are, is his work wife.

-You are seriously twisted.

0:18:380:18:43

Has Ms Naylor enlightened you?

0:18:430:18:45

She has.

0:18:450:18:47

So, curious case, wouldn't you say?

0:18:480:18:51

Well, I'm happy for you to observe.

0:18:510:18:55

Sometimes you are just as transparent as Indy.

0:18:550:18:58

What part of "I can't come to Sweden" do you not understand?

0:18:580:19:01

I just didn't think I'd see you today.

0:19:050:19:07

So...we're cool?

0:19:070:19:10

I know that look, so come on, unburden.

0:19:120:19:17

How does something like that just happen?

0:19:170:19:20

-You're asking the wrong guy.

-You were there, weren't you?

0:19:200:19:23

Sorry.

0:19:230:19:25

I just can't help feeling paranoid.

0:19:250:19:29

Look, the way I see it, you got two options.

0:19:290:19:34

You talk to him, and you decide you can't get past it.

0:19:360:19:40

You end it.

0:19:400:19:41

Or you...take him at his word and move on.

0:19:450:19:50

Yeah, you're right. And I do, I do trust him.

0:19:500:19:53

-It was ages ago, Chrissie.

-Yeah, that's what he said.

0:19:530:19:56

-It's not like we ever got close. We couldn't stand each other.

-So how did you...?

-Chrissie.

0:19:560:20:01

Please.

0:20:010:20:02

I dunno,

0:20:040:20:07

-I guess, we were having a fight...

-About what?

0:20:070:20:10

It was after his mate came in.

0:20:120:20:14

You know, the rugby player he'd given steroids to.

0:20:140:20:17

Are you sure?

0:20:190:20:20

Yeah.

0:20:200:20:21

Why?

0:20:230:20:25

No reason.

0:20:250:20:26

Chrissie?

0:20:270:20:29

So you're taking over my case?

0:20:300:20:33

If that's OK with you.

0:20:330:20:34

Absolutely.

0:20:340:20:36

Mum talks about you, says how cool you are. Talks about him too.

0:20:360:20:40

Great, well, we'll just pretend he's not here, shall we?

0:20:400:20:44

-Where is mum?

-Working.

0:20:440:20:47

Right, do you want to call her so she can hear this?

0:20:470:20:51

Er, she's really busy and I am 18.

0:20:510:20:53

OK, we have found a problem with the valves in your heart.

0:20:530:20:57

They're not working properly

0:20:570:20:58

which means that we'll have to operate to repair them.

0:20:580:21:02

My...my heart?

0:21:020:21:04

It is serious but I don't want you to worry, it's a routine operation.

0:21:040:21:10

But, I don't understand. A heart problem?

0:21:100:21:14

I'm young - why would I have that?

0:21:140:21:16

We don't know yet, so we're running tests.

0:21:160:21:18

But what would really help us is if you can think of anything,

0:21:180:21:22

-anything that might be relevant.

-What do you mean?

0:21:220:21:24

We are trying to establish whether or not you're taking anything?

0:21:240:21:29

No, I already said...

0:21:290:21:30

What Mr Hanssen means is, is there something you've forgotten to...?

0:21:300:21:34

Diet pills? Laxatives? Recreational drugs?

0:21:340:21:37

No, I swear. I wouldn't touch drugs. I don't even drink.

0:21:370:21:42

It's OK, it's OK, Amy. Thank you for your honesty.

0:21:420:21:46

I want my mum.

0:21:470:21:48

Hey, Sacha, hi, it's me. Er, where are you?

0:21:510:21:56

No, I'm fine, er,

0:21:560:21:59

I've got this silly lunchtime dress appointment and they won't let me change it.

0:21:590:22:03

And I was wondering if you would do me a favour.

0:22:030:22:06

Oh, darling, Amy. What's happened? Oh, sweetie.

0:22:110:22:17

Next time, less chit-chat.

0:22:310:22:34

She... She's not on drugs, Sahira. I know my own daughter.

0:22:450:22:49

I'm sure you are right but her lack of development is quite unusual.

0:22:490:22:53

-She's not developing at the rate she should be.

-I know, I know.

0:22:530:22:56

I try not to make a big thing out of it in front of Amy,

0:22:560:22:59

you know, make her feel worse, and I keep reassuring her,

0:22:590:23:02

but now she's 18, it IS a worry. I don't know what to do, Sahira.

0:23:020:23:07

Look, the best endocrinologist in the country is a friend of mine.

0:23:070:23:12

I'll make sure you get a referral before you leave.

0:23:120:23:14

And don't worry, I'm sure it's likely to be natural causes.

0:23:140:23:18

But we shouldn't rule anything out at this stage.

0:23:180:23:21

-What are you saying?

-We should wait for the test results before we make assumptions.

0:23:210:23:25

-Rest assured, though, we all want what's best for your daughter.

-Thank you.

0:23:250:23:30

-Look, I really must get back to Amy.

-Sure.

0:23:300:23:33

So, since when does observe translate as muscle in?

0:23:330:23:39

-You know Ms Reynolds?

-Not that well.

-Then don't let emotions impair your judgement.

0:23:390:23:44

With a second chance at Foundation Trust status hanging over us like the Sword Of Damocles,

0:23:440:23:48

We need to ensure that we are beyond reproach.

0:23:480:23:52

-Well, you've got it under control!

-Where are you going?

0:23:520:23:56

I am going to buy my husband an anniversary present.

0:23:560:23:58

And before you even think about rolling your eyes,

0:23:580:24:01

let me point out that this is only the third lunch break I've taken, since I started this job.

0:24:010:24:07

One son, duly delivered.

0:24:070:24:09

You sure you're OK?

0:24:130:24:15

Yeah, I just needed to see his face.

0:24:170:24:20

How did your practical go? I thought you had the afternoon off with Dan.

0:24:200:24:24

Yeah, it's a change of plan.

0:24:240:24:25

-Thank you for dropping him. Sorry to eat into your time with him.

-That's all right.

0:24:250:24:31

So, er, I'll go take him for a walk in the park while you're,

0:24:370:24:40

-while you're in there?

-Well, you may as well come in now.

0:24:400:24:44

-Really?

-Please.

0:24:450:24:48

In here, Mr Douglass, please.

0:24:480:24:50

Are you familiar with the Amy Reynolds case?

0:24:530:24:55

-The girl who never grew up? Sure.

-I have her tox screen results in.

0:24:550:24:59

-Why are you showing them to me?

-You are now on the case.

-But it's Sahira's case.

0:24:590:25:03

-Not any more.

-Why not?

-I have a concern she may lack the necessary distance.

0:25:030:25:08

-I don't know...

-Do you wish to step up or not, Mr Douglas?

-No.

0:25:100:25:13

-I beg your pardon?

-With all due respect, have you any idea

0:25:130:25:16

how much that woman has been doing for you recently?

0:25:160:25:19

Next time, call because you think I'm up to it.

0:25:190:25:22

-Chantelle, where've you been?

-My test was terminated and...

0:25:260:25:30

-You were only supposed to be gone an hour.

-I'm sorry, Mr Griffin.

0:25:300:25:33

Mr Taylor has refused to sign his consent form unless he speaks to you,

0:25:330:25:37

-meaning that I've had to rearrange my surgical list.

-Oh, OK...

0:25:370:25:40

Just get it signed and sealed, sweet-talk him, whatever it takes.

0:25:400:25:43

What if he doesn't listen to me?

0:25:430:25:45

Oh, he will. If talking were an Olympic event, you'd win it.

0:25:450:25:49

Hello, Amy. I have your test results and they are indeed clear.

0:25:520:25:57

I told you I wasn't taking anything.

0:25:570:26:00

You did.

0:26:000:26:02

So you will have your operation and Ms Shah has arranged your referral to an endocrinologist, OK?

0:26:020:26:09

How quickly will I be able to go back to college?

0:26:090:26:12

-I've got mocks in January.

-You'll be back at your studies long before that.

0:26:120:26:16

Astrophysics? Well, mind if I take a look?

0:26:160:26:21

Thank you.

0:26:210:26:23

It's what I want to be - an astronaut.

0:26:250:26:29

No-one really gets it though.

0:26:290:26:31

Why?

0:26:320:26:33

Cos it sounds like a kid thing.

0:26:350:26:37

I'm really getting into control engineering though.

0:26:370:26:40

It's crucial for spacecraft design.

0:26:400:26:42

They misunderstand you, do they?

0:26:420:26:44

I...want to go into deep space, look down on the Earth

0:26:440:26:50

and see it's just a ball. All those people, billions of them,

0:26:500:26:56

completely invisible.

0:26:560:26:57

It'd be like... Like...

0:26:580:27:01

-Having power over them, like a God?

-No.

0:27:010:27:04

Like they no longer had power over me.

0:27:040:27:07

Er, give it back, please.

0:27:140:27:17

It's not even mine - I got it from the library.

0:27:170:27:20

Those girls who wrote that, they're, like, 14.

0:27:200:27:24

Anyway, I don't really care about school - I'll be at uni soon

0:27:240:27:30

-and, well, I'll look older then, won't I?

-I hope so.

0:27:300:27:35

Now, look, if there's anything you can tell me -

0:27:350:27:39

anything at all - it would be very helpful to me to know

0:27:390:27:43

if there's anything you think is affecting your health.

0:27:430:27:46

Sometimes. I get stressed. About stuff.

0:27:500:27:56

I know it's stupid to think I have problems.

0:27:560:27:58

When you think about some of the things my mum's clients go through.

0:27:580:28:01

She discusses cases with you, does she?

0:28:010:28:04

No, no, of course not. I guess I just pick up on things.

0:28:040:28:07

But, it's just...

0:28:070:28:11

sometimes I feel...so bad,

0:28:110:28:18

that my stomach feels tight as a drum

0:28:180:28:22

and...well...

0:28:220:28:27

I make myself...sick.

0:28:270:28:30

How long have you been doing that for?

0:28:330:28:35

I don't know, er, possibly since I was...15.

0:28:350:28:40

Psssst!

0:28:530:28:55

Sacha!

0:28:550:28:57

What? Not my thing? Aw, that's a shame, I'd always dreamt of my big meringue moment, you know?

0:28:580:29:03

Mother, weeping with pride as I gracefully glide down the aisle.

0:29:030:29:07

# Is this the little girl I carried?

0:29:070:29:12

# Is this the little boy at play? #

0:29:120:29:15

Please, will you sit down?

0:29:150:29:17

How does this thing work?

0:29:330:29:35

Huh?

0:29:370:29:38

Look at silly daddy, what's he doing?

0:29:410:29:43

Whoooooo!

0:29:440:29:46

Whoooooo!

0:29:490:29:50

I'm terribly sorry.

0:29:540:29:56

-Does your mother know about any of this?

-No, and please don't tell her.

0:30:030:30:07

-I don't want to worry her.

-You have my word.

0:30:070:30:10

-Hi.

-Hello.

0:30:110:30:14

Could I have a quick word?

0:30:140:30:16

-I hope you're not offended but should you be examining my daughter alone?

-I'm sorry?

0:30:290:30:33

I'd prefer it if another member of staff - a female nurse or Ms Shah - was also present.

0:30:330:30:38

Your daughter's 18.

0:30:380:30:39

Yes, but she's not like other girls her age, she's more vulnerable.

0:30:390:30:43

As I say, it's not a big deal, just a request, really.

0:30:430:30:47

-I hope you're not offended.

-Oh, no, not at all.

0:30:470:30:50

-Is there anything I should know?

-No.

0:30:500:30:52

I'm afraid anything the patient tells me in confidence must remain that way.

0:30:520:30:57

Yes, of course.

0:30:570:30:59

-We just need your signature and then you can have the operation.

-What's happened?

0:31:030:31:07

-Nothing's happened.

-You're different.

0:31:070:31:11

-No, I'm not.

-Are you being sarcastic, then?

0:31:110:31:14

Please just sign the form.

0:31:140:31:17

How did your driving test go?

0:31:170:31:18

-It was fine.

-Then why aren't you smiling?

0:31:180:31:21

I am. See - smiling.

0:31:220:31:25

No, you're not. It's not a real smile.

0:31:250:31:28

-I don't want the operation.

-But you have to, Andy.

0:31:280:31:31

-You'll get very sick if you don't.

-No! You're lying. Stop lying.

0:31:310:31:36

Stop lying.

0:31:360:31:38

Have I missed anything?

0:31:410:31:44

There's been a development in Amy Reynolds' case.

0:31:440:31:46

She's admitted to being bulimic, which I believe has caused

0:31:460:31:51

both her lack of development and the strain on her heart.

0:31:510:31:54

And she told you that?

0:31:540:31:56

At least we know what we're dealing with now.

0:31:560:31:58

I thought you'd be the right person to bring the mother into the picture,

0:31:580:32:02

-referrals, counselling options and so forth after you operate?

-So I haven't been snubbed then?

0:32:020:32:07

Ah. The garrulous Mr Douglas. No, I thought better of it.

0:32:070:32:10

-Really?

-Successful expedition?

0:32:100:32:12

Oh, yes, very. I spoke to Rafi while I was out.

0:32:120:32:16

He's all for the conference - doesn't want to stand in my way - so just go ahead and book the ticket.

0:32:160:32:21

Are those Amy's notes?

0:32:210:32:23

Maybe you can trust me to take care of it from here?

0:32:250:32:28

SHE CLEARS THROAT

0:32:350:32:37

What? Something's wrong?

0:32:410:32:44

You look beautiful, Chrissie.

0:32:440:32:46

Doesn't she, son?

0:32:490:32:50

Doesn't seem very me now.

0:32:520:32:54

-Do you think it sits right?

-From where I'm sitting.

0:32:560:32:59

What's that?

0:33:010:33:02

What's what?

0:33:020:33:04

-There, is that a kink?

-I honestly think it fits perfectly.

0:33:040:33:08

No, no it doesn't. Excuse me, sorry, what do you think?

0:33:080:33:12

-Can you see a kink there?

-That's because you keep tugging it.

0:33:140:33:19

-I think it fits perfectly.

-See, what did I say?

0:33:190:33:22

No, no, it doesn't.

0:33:220:33:24

No, that's not right. I can't wear it like this.

0:33:240:33:27

I'll have to get a new one.

0:33:270:33:29

Do you think there's time to get a new dress?

0:33:300:33:33

-Is everything OK?

-Yes, of course, why wouldn't it be?

0:33:410:33:44

Because you seem a little...on edge. Is something worrying you?

0:33:440:33:48

It's this dress.

0:33:480:33:50

I've got to get out of this bloody dress.

0:33:510:33:54

I'm so sorry but Mr Taylor's still refusing to have the op.

0:33:540:33:58

-I tried my best.

-What did you say to him?

0:33:580:34:00

Nothing. He could just tell I was... a bit upset.

0:34:000:34:05

-What do you mean?

-My driving test...

-Oh, for God's sake, Chantelle.

0:34:050:34:10

-Look, Chantelle, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to upset you...

-I'm sorry, I'm sorry,

0:34:140:34:19

I know it's really unprofessional.

0:34:190:34:21

I'll pull myself together. Deep breaths, deep breaths.

0:34:210:34:24

Andy's crashing.

0:34:240:34:26

Right, Ms Shah's back now so I'll leave you in her capable hands.

0:34:290:34:33

-PHONE RINGS

-I'll be quick. Hannah Reynolds.

0:34:330:34:36

Becky? No, the last time I saw her she was on AAU.

0:34:380:34:42

I told the sister to keep an eye on her.

0:34:440:34:48

Right, I'll leave you to it.

0:34:480:34:50

Sorry, could you just pass me my water, please?

0:34:520:34:54

-Thanks.

-What's this mark?

0:34:580:35:01

Oh, it's just where mum does my vitamin injection.

0:35:010:35:04

I see, she injects them, does she?

0:35:040:35:06

Yeah, she read an article on it being easier to absorb that way.

0:35:060:35:09

I see. How long she's been giving them to you?

0:35:090:35:12

Oh, well, it was after Grandad died.

0:35:120:35:16

I was 12 and I got really bad flu, so I, I had to miss his funeral.

0:35:160:35:21

I begged Mum to let me go but she said I wasn't up to it.

0:35:210:35:24

-How often does she give them to you?

-Only every three months.

0:35:240:35:27

What did your grandfather die of?

0:35:290:35:31

Cancer.

0:35:310:35:32

What sort - can you remember?

0:35:320:35:36

Pulse 120, temperature raised - 38. He's going into septic shock...

0:35:370:35:41

-I can't breathe.

-It must have become necrotic or perforated.

0:35:410:35:44

He's crashed.

0:35:440:35:48

Andy?

0:35:480:35:49

Andy? Can you hear me? Andy?

0:35:490:35:51

Start compressions.

0:35:550:35:56

He's going into VF. Salmons.

0:35:580:36:00

Charge 200.

0:36:040:36:05

Clear.

0:36:080:36:09

HEART RATE BEEP RETURNS

0:36:120:36:14

He's back. Let's get him to theatre.

0:36:180:36:20

Chrissie, please talk to me.

0:36:350:36:37

I'm your friend, aren't I?

0:36:400:36:43

Am I making a mistake?

0:36:470:36:48

Why would you think that?

0:36:500:36:51

I don't know. Maybe I'm just scared.

0:36:510:36:54

I mean, how well do I actually know Dan?

0:36:540:36:57

Has something happened to make you doubt him?

0:36:570:36:59

No.

0:36:590:37:01

Maybe.

0:37:030:37:04

Have you spoken to him about how you feel?

0:37:040:37:07

Kind of. But I get the feeling he's just fobbing me off.

0:37:090:37:14

I don't know, maybe I'm being paranoid.

0:37:150:37:18

That doesn't sound like you.

0:37:180:37:20

What am I going to do, Sacha?

0:37:240:37:26

Well, I can't really say without knowing the full picture,

0:37:280:37:33

but all you can do is trust your instincts. I guess.

0:37:330:37:38

-Do you love him?

-Yes.

0:37:410:37:43

Then isn't it worth talking it through again?

0:37:430:37:47

What about if it's not what I want to hear?

0:37:470:37:51

Well, that's just how life goes sometimes.

0:37:510:37:55

You deal with it.

0:37:550:37:57

PHONE RINGS

0:37:590:38:01

It's your phone. It's the hospital. Do you want me to answer it?

0:38:030:38:06

Please.

0:38:060:38:08

Hello, Sister William's phone.

0:38:080:38:10

Oh, hello.

0:38:100:38:12

Yeah, do you want to ask her? OK.

0:38:120:38:15

-Chrissie. It's Luc. It's a patient called Becky Unwin - did you discharge her?

-No.

0:38:150:38:20

Well, apparently she's gone AWOL.

0:38:200:38:23

Are you doing it yet? Are you cutting into me?

0:38:230:38:26

I'm just about to, Andy. 23 knife, please.

0:38:260:38:31

How big's the knife?

0:38:310:38:32

-Two centimetres.

-Show me?

-I can't.

0:38:330:38:36

I'm using it to make the incision.

0:38:360:38:41

Suction.

0:38:410:38:42

The door's moved. It's different from the picture.

0:38:450:38:48

We had to use a different theatre.

0:38:480:38:50

Where's the nurse? I want to speak to the nurse.

0:38:500:38:53

-I need you to take some deep breaths, Andy.

-You're blocking the door.

0:38:530:38:58

The door doesn't matter, now, please, just try to relax.

0:38:580:39:01

You think I'm weird. I need the nurse. She understood about the door.

0:39:010:39:05

You need to lie very, very still now, just try to relax.

0:39:050:39:07

-Very still for me, please.

-Where is she?

0:39:070:39:10

-Damn it.

-What is it? What's happening?

0:39:100:39:13

I'm dying, aren't I? Help.

0:39:130:39:15

Can somebody please page Nurse Lane?

0:39:150:39:18

Lots of people use vitamin injections.

0:39:180:39:20

But within the broader context of what we know...

0:39:200:39:22

What are you accusing Hannah of, exactly?

0:39:220:39:24

I'm not certain at this stage.

0:39:240:39:26

You need to be very certain of your facts before you start making accusations.

0:39:260:39:31

I need a second opinion, please.

0:39:340:39:36

'Go ahead.'

0:39:360:39:38

You recall Amy Reynolds told us she had been taking vitamins?

0:39:380:39:41

It transpires her mother has been injecting them,

0:39:410:39:44

once every three months.

0:39:440:39:45

-Tox screen was clear?

-It was, but apparently the injections started

0:39:450:39:50

around the same time as her grandfather died of cancer.

0:39:500:39:53

Let me guess, prostate?

0:39:550:39:56

You know the drug?

0:39:560:39:59

Goserelin. What a pleasant start to the week.

0:39:590:40:02

You agree?

0:40:020:40:03

That a mother could screw up her daughter?

0:40:030:40:05

I find it depressingly realistic. Does Ms Shah agree?

0:40:050:40:09

Well.

0:40:110:40:13

She lives in this fragrant bubble and there you are

0:40:130:40:16

on the outside with a great big needle. 'Course she resists.

0:40:160:40:19

-Whereas you and I have never even seen the inside of the bubble.

-You think we're alike?

0:40:190:40:24

Well, we're detached, rational,

0:40:260:40:28

we've never allowed ourselves to become distracted by personal ties

0:40:280:40:33

so our vision is pure, untainted.

0:40:330:40:36

Imagine working together - we'd make quite the team.

0:40:370:40:40

Which is precisely why we shouldn't.

0:40:400:40:42

It'd be like staring into the abyss.

0:40:430:40:46

Where is she? Why doesn't she hurry up?

0:40:500:40:52

Please, I don't want to die.

0:40:520:40:54

I'm sure she's on her way. Try to stay calm.

0:40:540:40:59

-There's a tear in the mesenteric artery we need to get on top of. Clips.

-You paged, Mr Griffin?

0:40:590:41:04

Yes, yes, come in, come in. Talk to him, will you?

0:41:040:41:07

Of course.

0:41:070:41:09

Oh, God, my mind's gone blank.

0:41:110:41:13

Imagine you're on the phone to your mum.

0:41:130:41:16

You've always got plenty to say to her. What do you talk about?

0:41:160:41:19

-My day, usually.

-Perfect - off you go.

0:41:190:41:22

OK. Hi, Mum, How're you?

0:41:220:41:27

Talk to Andy. Look at him.

0:41:270:41:30

Sorry, I was just getting into it.

0:41:300:41:34

You know I had my driving test earlier.

0:41:390:41:42

Well, the thing is, Andy, you were right.

0:41:420:41:46

I was lying when I said it was fine

0:41:460:41:49

and I'm so sorry for that, but...I was dead embarrassed.

0:41:490:41:54

When I got in the car I was all right, confident even.

0:41:540:41:59

I was imagining the examiner was a patient, which sounds daft,

0:41:590:42:02

but it made me feel better.

0:42:020:42:03

And it was going fine until we came to a stop at some traffic lights

0:42:030:42:07

and I started telling him about how Aunty Suzy thought Uncle Pete was having an affair.

0:42:070:42:11

I got a bit distracted trying to explain the difference

0:42:110:42:14

between Suzy's perfume and the perfume on Pete's shirt.

0:42:140:42:18

Anyway, the next thing I knew, we were rolling forwards.

0:42:180:42:21

-You hadn't applied the handbrake?

-Must have forgotten.

0:42:210:42:26

I slammed on my breaks but we'd crashed into a milk float by then.

0:42:260:42:30

So I said to the examiner, "Can we class that as an emergency stop?"

0:42:300:42:34

But he said, "Trouble is, you didn't stop."

0:42:340:42:36

So there's all this milk everywhere

0:42:360:42:38

and all I could think about is my granny,

0:42:380:42:40

cos that's what she used to say, "There's no point crying over spilt milk, Chantelle."

0:42:400:42:45

What? What?

0:42:450:42:47

B/P's stabilised. I've think we found the tear.

0:42:500:42:54

You're smiling again. For real.

0:42:540:42:58

Am I?

0:42:580:43:00

-Have you found her yet?

-No. I've had non-stop calls from her counsellor.

0:43:000:43:05

-She thinks the patient might self-harm.

-I found this by her bed.

0:43:050:43:09

So she must still be in the hospital somewhere.

0:43:090:43:11

Don't worry, I'll sort it.

0:43:110:43:13

RAPID BEEPING

0:43:130:43:16

-What's happening? What's wrong?

-Excuse me. Her abdomen's hard.

0:43:160:43:22

-Why? What's happening?

-B/P's through the floor. What are you thinking?

-Ascites?

-Please, tell me.

0:43:220:43:27

-Let's get her into theatre fast.

-She has right sided heart failure.

0:43:270:43:30

-We're going to have to operate on her now.

-Will she be OK?

0:43:300:43:33

-I don't know.

-Wait in the relatives' room, we'll keep you updated. Don't worry.

0:43:330:43:37

She's about 5'6", brown hair, Irish accent...

0:43:420:43:45

-she could be in a bit of a state.

-I'll look out for her.

-Thanks.

0:43:450:43:50

I don't get it. Why would a mother do this to her child?

0:43:500:43:52

It goes against every woman's instinct.

0:43:520:43:55

Especially someone like Hannah, whose job is to empathise.

0:43:550:43:58

And she's brilliant at it. I've seen her.

0:43:580:44:01

She may be beyond reproach in her professional sphere.

0:44:010:44:03

But perhaps Hannah has spent so long imagining the world

0:44:030:44:06

through the eyes of her patients, that all she can see now is danger.

0:44:060:44:11

So what? You're saying this is Munchausen's by Proxy?

0:44:110:44:15

A variation, yes.

0:44:150:44:16

She said something earlier that I though it was a little odd.

0:44:160:44:20

She said she didn't want me to examine Amy on my own.

0:44:200:44:22

That's not unreasonable. She's just being protective. Nerve hook.

0:44:220:44:26

But Amy...

0:44:260:44:28

is 18.

0:44:280:44:30

Not in Hannah's head.

0:44:300:44:31

So...if Amy fails to grow up,

0:44:370:44:41

she's much less likely to have contact with boys, with sex.

0:44:410:44:45

So she thinks she's protecting Amy?

0:44:450:44:48

In a sense. But if taken to extremes, it becomes abuse.

0:44:480:44:53

Hello.

0:45:050:45:06

Can't a woman poison herself in peace?

0:45:060:45:09

You're distressed.

0:45:150:45:17

No. I'm fine. Well done, you're the genius,

0:45:170:45:21

I got too involved and couldn't see what's right under my nose.

0:45:210:45:25

-Sahira, you don't think for one moment I just want to be proved right?

-I don't know.

0:45:250:45:29

I don't know. Half the time, I don't know what your motives are.

0:45:290:45:33

Why do you even want me to come this conference?

0:45:350:45:37

I should have thought that was evident.

0:45:370:45:40

Do you know what Ravi said when I told him?

0:45:400:45:43

"Good job I'm not the jealous type." And he's right.

0:45:430:45:46

Because most men - most women even - would question your motives.

0:45:460:45:51

Well, that's a banal assumption and one I don't even wish to entertain.

0:45:510:45:54

So, what is it exactly?

0:45:540:45:55

Because we're not equals, we're not work mates,

0:45:550:45:58

we're not friends. So what exactly are we?

0:45:580:46:01

I am your director Of surgery

0:46:010:46:03

and you're one of my most promising registrars.

0:46:030:46:06

I know one thing, you get more of my time than Ravi does

0:46:070:46:12

and that is not right.

0:46:120:46:13

So, I'm sorry, Henrik,

0:46:140:46:17

but I won't be coming to this conference with you.

0:46:170:46:21

Don't make a choice that could affect the rest of your career

0:46:220:46:26

based on an emotional whim.

0:46:260:46:27

I just need to get home.

0:46:300:46:32

How are you feeling?

0:46:410:46:43

Sore.

0:46:440:46:45

You did really well.

0:46:450:46:48

-Did I?

-You'll be able to go home, very soon.

0:46:480:46:51

You really helped me.

0:46:510:46:52

Aw, what a nice thing to say.

0:46:520:46:56

You made me realise that I'm not that weird.

0:46:560:46:59

Did I? Good, I'm glad.

0:46:590:47:03

Cos you were right - you're a nurse and you're even weirder than me.

0:47:030:47:07

-What do you mean?

-Didn't you see the look on Mr Griffin's face

0:47:070:47:10

when you told that story?

0:47:100:47:12

He couldn't BELIEVE you didn't use the handbrake.

0:47:120:47:15

Yeah, well, it's easy to forget stuff when you're nervous.

0:47:150:47:19

Even I know about the handbrake.

0:47:190:47:21

Well, I'm glad you're feeling better.

0:47:240:47:27

How's your arm?

0:47:300:47:31

Stingy.

0:47:310:47:34

These might help.

0:47:340:47:35

I didn't bank on a search party for this.

0:47:380:47:40

Well, you weren't formally discharged.

0:47:410:47:44

Hang on...

0:47:460:47:47

You thought I was a risk, didn't you?

0:47:490:47:51

That I might...top myself.

0:47:520:47:55

Wow, I'm really clocking up the demented points today, aren't I?

0:47:550:47:58

I didn't, it's just something that Hannah said.

0:47:580:48:01

Hannah? That's weird.

0:48:010:48:04

I've only got through this past year because of her.

0:48:060:48:08

She said I was suicidal?

0:48:080:48:10

Not exactly. She said you're more vulnerable than you let on.

0:48:110:48:15

She's worried about you. She keeps calling the ward.

0:48:150:48:19

But she knows me.

0:48:190:48:21

She knows I'm not suicidal.

0:48:210:48:24

Depressed? Yeah.

0:48:240:48:27

At times I find it hard to face people but...

0:48:270:48:31

that thought NEVER entered my head.

0:48:310:48:33

-I believe you.

-Why would she say that?

0:48:340:48:37

Your daughter's operation was successful.

0:48:460:48:48

-Oh, thank God.

-We expect her to make a full recovery.

0:48:480:48:51

Now, we found a needle mark on Amy's arm.

0:48:540:48:58

-Yes, vitamin injections.

-Are you certain?

0:48:580:49:01

-Yes, of course.

-We just wondered if you were aware of the side effects

0:49:010:49:05

of a drug called Goserelin.

0:49:050:49:07

Goserelin?

0:49:070:49:09

That's the drug my father was on.

0:49:110:49:13

Yes, we know.

0:49:130:49:15

-How do you know?

-We suspected that Amy's lack of development could have been caused...

0:49:180:49:23

by Goserelin injections.

0:49:230:49:25

I mean, if you're telling me that's not possible...

0:49:250:49:29

She was in danger.

0:49:290:49:30

-I only asked because I'm afraid I'm going to have to inform the police.

-The police?!

0:49:300:49:35

I'm sure you'll be able to clear up any confusion.

0:49:350:49:38

She was in danger.

0:49:380:49:40

I guess it's this party.

0:49:400:49:42

Thought it would help to have something to focus on.

0:49:440:49:48

But this morning it hit me that I'd actually have to go through with it.

0:49:480:49:53

The thought of being in a room full of people.

0:49:550:50:00

A lot of them I haven't seen since...

0:50:000:50:04

So, yeah, I froze.

0:50:050:50:07

I stepped onto the road, without looking.

0:50:090:50:12

It is natural to feel nervous.

0:50:120:50:14

-Especially if you haven't been out much since it happened.

-But they're my friends.

0:50:140:50:19

What kind of loser's too scared to go to her own party?

0:50:190:50:22

That doesn't make you a coward, Becky.

0:50:220:50:25

Come on.

0:50:250:50:26

You were impressed earlier

0:50:260:50:28

when you thought I was all up for the challenge.

0:50:280:50:30

You gave me that, "Wow, brave girl," look.

0:50:300:50:32

-Yeah, you're right, I did.

-I'm sorry to disappoint.

0:50:320:50:36

I'm not disappointed. In fact, I think you're more courageous now.

0:50:360:50:40

-You mean you feel sorry for me.

-No.

0:50:400:50:43

I think it takes guts to admit things aren't perfect.

0:50:430:50:46

What? "It's my party and I'll cry if I want to"?

0:50:460:50:50

Yeah. Something like that.

0:50:500:50:54

You shouldn't have to pretend everything's fine to please other people.

0:50:560:51:00

This is when you should listen to your instincts. No-one else.

0:51:000:51:05

So, come on, let's go and face the world.

0:51:070:51:11

I did what I had to do. I preserved her innocence.

0:51:130:51:16

I stopped it happening to her.

0:51:160:51:18

You wouldn't understand, you don't know what goes on. Young women.

0:51:180:51:22

Raped. Abused. I couldn't let that happen to my child.

0:51:220:51:29

-My little girl.

-But that is no guarantee of sanctuary, is it?

0:51:300:51:34

Sadly, the world is a darker place than either you or I know.

0:51:340:51:37

She's never been called a slut or a slag or a whore.

0:51:370:51:41

She's never been pawed or slobbered on or groped.

0:51:410:51:44

But her physical health, the damage to her heart?

0:51:440:51:48

-I didn't know that would happen.

-She was being bullied, you know.

0:51:480:51:53

What do you know about family and relationships?

0:51:530:51:56

As far as I'm aware, you have none.

0:51:570:52:00

And you certainly don't know what it is to love a child.

0:52:010:52:05

The police will be on their way.

0:52:060:52:08

I thought I was a freak. I thought it was just me.

0:52:130:52:18

I haven't had friends.

0:52:200:52:21

Boyfriends.

0:52:230:52:24

Will I even be able to have children?

0:52:240:52:27

With the right treatment,

0:52:270:52:29

there's no reason why you shouldn't be able to lead a normal life.

0:52:290:52:34

Why did she do it to me?

0:52:360:52:38

Your mother clearly loves you. But she's ill. She needs help.

0:52:380:52:44

Can you thank him for me?

0:52:450:52:48

Mr Hanssen.

0:52:480:52:50

If it wasn't for him...

0:52:520:52:54

Of course.

0:52:540:52:56

Chantelle, wait.

0:52:570:53:00

Er, I just want to say well done today. With Andy.

0:53:000:53:07

You handled the situation really maturely.

0:53:070:53:10

As if - even he thinks I'm stupid.

0:53:100:53:14

Hang on, nobody thinks that.

0:53:140:53:16

Yes, they do. No-one in this hospital respects me.

0:53:160:53:19

I'm just silly, fluffy Chantelle

0:53:190:53:21

who's all right to take the micky out of, but nothing else.

0:53:210:53:24

I gave you a vitally important job to do today.

0:53:240:53:27

Yeah, cos you know I'm a chatterbox. Not because I'm a good nurse.

0:53:270:53:30

-Don't sell yourself short, Chantelle. I chose you because...

-I know why you chose me...

0:53:300:53:34

Stop talking and listen, will you?

0:53:340:53:38

I chose you... because you're a leveller.

0:53:380:53:42

You treat patients and consultants alike.

0:53:420:53:46

That's a rare gift.

0:53:460:53:48

And, as for this test, any fool can drive.

0:53:480:53:52

It's just a matter of getting some practise.

0:53:520:53:54

That's the trouble - can't afford any more lessons.

0:53:540:53:57

Well, then you need a friend, somebody who can be objective.

0:53:570:54:01

Like who?

0:54:010:54:03

I don't know - somebody reasonably mature, unflappable...

0:54:030:54:08

-with nerves of steel.

-Mr Griffin, do you mean it?

-Sorry?

0:54:080:54:11

You'll teach me?

0:54:110:54:13

You weren't offering, were you?

0:54:140:54:18

See? What an idiot.

0:54:190:54:21

No. I mean, yes. I was. I mean, why not?

0:54:210:54:27

Are you being sarcastic?

0:54:270:54:28

Wow. Mr Griffin, my driving instructor.

0:54:310:54:36

That is so cool!

0:54:360:54:38

-Should I kiss you?

-Not necessarily.

0:54:380:54:40

OK.

0:54:400:54:42

Guess what I'm doing for my 30th now?

0:54:470:54:51

Macky D's Happy Meal with my mum and dad.

0:54:510:54:55

Same as when I was five.

0:54:550:54:58

Still, that was the best birthday ever.

0:54:580:55:02

Thank you.

0:55:060:55:07

Ready for the off?

0:55:200:55:21

There you go.

0:55:270:55:28

So...happy with the dress? I can't wait to see you in it.

0:55:350:55:39

Why didn't you tell me that you kissed Malick?

0:55:390:55:44

-I did.

-And then had sex with me.

0:55:440:55:46

I remember how it happened.

0:55:470:55:50

It was our first time, for God's sake,

0:55:500:55:52

How worked up you were.

0:55:520:55:54

I thought that's cos you wanted me, cos you were turned on by me.

0:55:540:55:58

I was, I am!

0:55:580:55:59

If you were bi - if you had tried both...

0:55:590:56:03

..but were settling down with me, had chosen me - I could deal with that.

0:56:040:56:08

-I don't see what difference it makes.

-It makes a huge difference.

0:56:080:56:11

Don't you see?

0:56:110:56:13

You don't know what you want.

0:56:130:56:15

Sahira.

0:56:370:56:39

It's a Burgundy. 2004.

0:56:450:56:47

That's the year I got married.

0:56:470:56:50

Indeed.

0:56:500:56:51

Go home.

0:56:530:56:54

I've still got an hour left of my shift.

0:56:560:56:58

Mr Douglas and I can cope without you.

0:56:580:57:00

Night.

0:57:030:57:04

Night.

0:57:040:57:06

Do you know much about wine, Mr Douglas?

0:57:060:57:09

-I'm more of a lager man, myself.

-Really? You surprise me.
