0:00:38 > 0:00:42There's a course in Japan specialising in similar

0:00:42 > 0:00:45ground-breaking procedures and I'd like to put your name forward.

0:00:45 > 0:00:49I want a wife and a family and I want a dog

0:00:49 > 0:00:51and I want roses over the door, the whole shebang.

0:00:51 > 0:00:55- I can do that. - But you can't. That's just it.

0:00:55 > 0:00:57You're not capable.

0:00:57 > 0:00:58Mum, can you hear me?

0:00:58 > 0:01:01I thought I should tell you, I am going to make an official

0:01:01 > 0:01:04complaint about my mother's treatment on Keller.

0:01:04 > 0:01:05You're my dad.

0:01:05 > 0:01:07What are you doing here? You can't be here.

0:01:07 > 0:01:09Don't do this. Not here, don't do it.

0:01:09 > 0:01:13Do I send him away with a severe warning or do I dismiss him?

0:01:13 > 0:01:15You dismiss him.

0:01:17 > 0:01:20Mrs Patterson. Transferred up from ED.

0:01:20 > 0:01:23- No, no. Not Mrs. - Miss? Ms? Which do you...?

0:01:23 > 0:01:25Anna. Please. Just Anna.

0:01:25 > 0:01:27Mrs Patterson makes me sound like I'm a headmistress,

0:01:27 > 0:01:30or I make shortbread. Or both.

0:01:30 > 0:01:33Anna has acute abdominal pain and swelling.

0:01:33 > 0:01:34For how long?

0:01:34 > 0:01:36- Honest answer?- Mm-hmm.

0:01:36 > 0:01:39- Six months. A year.- A year?

0:01:39 > 0:01:42I just got used to taking pain killers. And antacid.

0:01:42 > 0:01:44- Gallons of it. - You didn't see your GP in that time?

0:01:44 > 0:01:48He referred me to a specialist. I missed a couple of appointments.

0:01:48 > 0:01:50Got dropped off the list.

0:01:50 > 0:01:52Don't worry. I get the picture.

0:01:52 > 0:01:57So today, pain got too bad and you wanted to check into Emergency?

0:01:57 > 0:01:58Something like that.

0:01:58 > 0:01:59SHE MOANS

0:01:59 > 0:02:01Is that sore?

0:02:01 > 0:02:04I'd be blowing smoke up your butt if I said it wasn't.

0:02:04 > 0:02:08Now it's going to sound a bit like we're playing pass-the-parcel

0:02:08 > 0:02:12here, but I need to transfer you to another ward to do some more tests.

0:02:12 > 0:02:13I'm putty in your hands.

0:02:13 > 0:02:17- Oh, wish all my patients said that. - So do you know Antoine?

0:02:17 > 0:02:18Antoine?

0:02:18 > 0:02:22Doctor. I think. D'you know him?

0:02:22 > 0:02:24Antoine.

0:02:24 > 0:02:26Malick?

0:02:26 > 0:02:29Do I like calamari? Are you serious? I love fried squid.

0:02:29 > 0:02:34My mum used to cook us squid in malted beer batter.

0:02:34 > 0:02:37I don't care how good sex, drugs, rock 'n' roll or plantain is,

0:02:37 > 0:02:40don't come anywhere near my mum's fried squid rings.

0:02:40 > 0:02:43Maybe I better not cook squid then. I do have to order it.

0:02:43 > 0:02:44No, no, no. You do it!

0:02:44 > 0:02:47I don't do it fried, though. I stuff it with pine nuts.

0:02:49 > 0:02:51This is a flirtatious thing. Right?

0:02:51 > 0:02:56Yeah, this is like some kind of read-my-food menu foreplay.

0:02:56 > 0:02:58Talk about squid. Invite me to dinner.

0:02:58 > 0:03:01And you think I'm just going to throw myself at you.

0:03:08 > 0:03:11Hey, Jac. How's it going? All good, yeah? Great.

0:03:11 > 0:03:12So six weeks in Japan,

0:03:12 > 0:03:15that must have been quite a culture shock for you.

0:03:15 > 0:03:18Right. Great, that's terrible, Jonny. That doesn't work at all.

0:03:18 > 0:03:20OK.

0:03:22 > 0:03:24Jac.

0:03:24 > 0:03:30Hey, good to have you back. Holby? Aw, y'know, same old, same old.

0:03:30 > 0:03:32Nothing really changes round here.

0:03:32 > 0:03:35Except for the gaping hole in my chest

0:03:35 > 0:03:36where my heart used to be, you...

0:03:36 > 0:03:39Great, thanks. Take it easy.

0:03:41 > 0:03:44- Oh, my God! - It's a matter of perception.

0:03:44 > 0:03:46What you doing here?

0:03:46 > 0:03:47I work here.

0:03:47 > 0:03:48Tomorrow.

0:03:48 > 0:03:51Today. Hanssen called. A special case is coming in.

0:03:51 > 0:03:53I get to try out my new Japanese skills.

0:03:55 > 0:03:57- So...you...- What?

0:03:58 > 0:04:02You know. I had about four different speeches prepared for the next time

0:04:02 > 0:04:03I saw you again.

0:04:03 > 0:04:06- And?- I don't know, I'll have to check my prompt-card.

0:04:06 > 0:04:08- I seem to be a day behind.- Sorry.

0:04:08 > 0:04:11Sorry, right. Sorry that you caught me on the hop?

0:04:11 > 0:04:12Without a speech.

0:04:12 > 0:04:15Or sorry you treated me like doggie do, then did a runner,

0:04:15 > 0:04:18with my dignity, to the Land of the Rising Sun?

0:04:20 > 0:04:22I ordered a hot chocolate.

0:04:27 > 0:04:34She packed her own bag. She walked in. Sat up in bed.

0:04:34 > 0:04:37Sparky as anything. Texting.

0:04:37 > 0:04:41Emailing Australia. Making plans.

0:04:44 > 0:04:45Now look at her.

0:04:47 > 0:04:50She can't speak. She can't eat.

0:04:52 > 0:04:54Well, sadly, this is not uncommon.

0:04:54 > 0:04:57As an experienced surgeon, you know what can happen in hospital.

0:04:57 > 0:05:01- Surgery is rarely... - I wanted to put her in private care.

0:05:01 > 0:05:05- Indeed.- You said it was a professional conflict of interest.

0:05:05 > 0:05:07Realistically, there's no reason to assume

0:05:07 > 0:05:10she wouldn't have had a stroke at The Waverley.

0:05:10 > 0:05:13In fact, if she had, they would probably have sent her here.

0:05:13 > 0:05:17Yes, but on a private ward she wouldn't have been left unobserved

0:05:17 > 0:05:20and unattended for nearly two hours.

0:05:20 > 0:05:23We would lose the public vote of confidence, you said.

0:05:23 > 0:05:26You and I both know that if the press got hold of...

0:05:26 > 0:05:29People would regard it as hypocritical.

0:05:30 > 0:05:32You know what I think it is?

0:05:35 > 0:05:38Just wanting the best for the ones you love.

0:05:46 > 0:05:49- So is this how it's going to be? - I don't know. Is it?

0:05:52 > 0:05:53Wait.

0:05:54 > 0:05:57HE CLEARS THROAT

0:05:57 > 0:05:59It doesn't have to be weird between us.

0:05:59 > 0:06:03We have to work together so we can be...

0:06:03 > 0:06:05Yes?

0:06:06 > 0:06:07Civil.

0:06:07 > 0:06:09Civil?

0:06:11 > 0:06:13How about friends?

0:06:13 > 0:06:14We'll see.

0:06:16 > 0:06:23So what super-duper new means of torture did they teach you in Japan?

0:06:25 > 0:06:28Fake it to make it. You know what that means?

0:06:28 > 0:06:31Something to do with art fraud?

0:06:31 > 0:06:34Act as if - mean anything to you?

0:06:34 > 0:06:37Poor grammar?

0:06:37 > 0:06:40OK, today is the day the Malick turns Dr Digby,

0:06:40 > 0:06:43the medical train wreck, around. Feel me?

0:06:43 > 0:06:45That's not an invitation, is it?

0:06:46 > 0:06:49OK. No more Mr Bean Comes To Holby.

0:06:49 > 0:06:51Today is the day the tide turns.

0:06:51 > 0:06:54We're going to breathe some wind into your sails

0:06:54 > 0:06:56and set you on a course to become a real doctor.

0:06:56 > 0:06:58And you know how you're going to do that?

0:06:58 > 0:07:00No. But I think you're going to tell me.

0:07:00 > 0:07:02Act. As. If.

0:07:03 > 0:07:05- As if what?- As if you are me. Follow me. Shadow me.

0:07:05 > 0:07:09Model thyself on me. Imitation is the first part of learning.

0:07:09 > 0:07:14Today you are my shadow, young Malick-ite. OK?

0:07:14 > 0:07:17- Imitate you?- Act as if.

0:07:21 > 0:07:24Whoa. That's a bit offensive.

0:07:24 > 0:07:26Just...just follow me, yeah?

0:07:32 > 0:07:34OK, Digs, show me what you've got.

0:07:37 > 0:07:39I've examined the abdomen

0:07:39 > 0:07:43and she's mostly tender in the upper right quadrant.

0:07:43 > 0:07:46Which tells you precisely what?

0:07:47 > 0:07:51I think that she's Murphy's positive and no ascites.

0:07:51 > 0:07:52So we know...?

0:07:53 > 0:07:58Um. Um...gall bladder is potentially producing too much mucus.

0:07:58 > 0:08:00Potential diagnosis?

0:08:00 > 0:08:07Suspected gallstones? And because of the increased tenderness here,

0:08:07 > 0:08:12a possible diagnosis of pancreatitis.

0:08:12 > 0:08:14Hello, Antoine.

0:08:14 > 0:08:17The distended abdomen and discoloured tissue leads me

0:08:17 > 0:08:21- to surmise that...- Get out! Now! Go.

0:08:21 > 0:08:23- Ah.- Are you deaf? Get!

0:08:32 > 0:08:34We all know old style oesophagectomy.

0:08:34 > 0:08:37You need access to the chest, the abdomen and the neck.

0:08:37 > 0:08:39And so, enormous incisions.

0:08:39 > 0:08:41Whack in the scissor-jack, snap off a rib,

0:08:41 > 0:08:44and before you know it, you're up to your elbows in large intestine.

0:08:44 > 0:08:49New Japanese style thorascopic oesophagectomy. Five tiny incisions.

0:08:49 > 0:08:51One centimetre max.

0:08:51 > 0:08:54One of the lungs is then temporarily collapsed.

0:08:54 > 0:08:57The entire length of oesophagus is dissected through the keyholes.

0:08:57 > 0:09:01Then a slice of the stomach is re-sected, complete with one

0:09:01 > 0:09:05artery to keep it alive, and then rolled-up to form a tube.

0:09:05 > 0:09:09So you form a new oesophagus from the greater curve of the stomach lining?

0:09:09 > 0:09:11Inside the body? That is astonishing.

0:09:13 > 0:09:15And you are confident you can perform this?

0:09:15 > 0:09:18- Spent six weeks practising. - Have you met your patient?

0:09:18 > 0:09:22- Not yet, no.- Finalised your team? - I thought Elliot might like to...

0:09:22 > 0:09:25I would so love to do this. But I'm doing an aneurysm.

0:09:25 > 0:09:27Ms Effanga should be in with you.

0:09:27 > 0:09:30It's another skill the transplant team should be aware of.

0:09:30 > 0:09:35- Nurse Maconie can organise theatre and anaesthetics.- Um, I..

0:09:35 > 0:09:38Given his expertise in transplant co-ordination, he's the most

0:09:38 > 0:09:42qualified to assemble an operation of this magnitude.

0:09:42 > 0:09:44Here we go. Straight in. Straight in.

0:09:44 > 0:09:47- Get in, my son.- Right, watch this. - Go on, go on. Rubbish, mate.

0:09:47 > 0:09:51- One of these is her patient? - Oh, yeah.

0:09:51 > 0:09:53Six weeks of training on the other side of the world

0:09:53 > 0:09:56and God only knows how much taxpayers' money for that.

0:09:56 > 0:09:59- Watch this. Master class. - Master, go on.

0:09:59 > 0:10:00Perfect candidate.

0:10:00 > 0:10:03Burnt a hole right through the bottom of his oesophagus.

0:10:03 > 0:10:06What'd he do, eat the disposable barbecue instead of the burgers?

0:10:06 > 0:10:08Nope. Drank paint stripper.

0:10:08 > 0:10:11- Serious?- Uh-huh.- Well, he doesn't strike me as a suicidal type.

0:10:11 > 0:10:13Wasn't on purpose.

0:10:13 > 0:10:14- Accident?- Yep.

0:10:14 > 0:10:17He drank paint stripper by accident?

0:10:17 > 0:10:20Well, now that is a story I've got to hear.

0:10:20 > 0:10:23Good. Cos Hanssen wants you to be Jac's Theatre Co-ordinator.

0:10:23 > 0:10:25- Oh, no, no, no, no.- He doesn't want a single thing to go wrong.

0:10:25 > 0:10:28He seems to think you're the right man for the job.

0:10:28 > 0:10:30And what did Jac say?

0:10:30 > 0:10:32Go on, Jimmer. It's over.

0:10:34 > 0:10:39When I was 24, it looked awesome. It was so sexy.

0:10:40 > 0:10:42It really was sexy.

0:10:42 > 0:10:45Course I had a tight little tummy back then,

0:10:45 > 0:10:49and my butt was like two hazelnuts vacuum-packed in cling-film.

0:10:49 > 0:10:53- So you did become a doctor. - Registrar.

0:10:53 > 0:10:55And gay.

0:10:55 > 0:10:57Come on. Is it that obvious?

0:10:57 > 0:10:59It was. Even back then, Antoine.

0:10:59 > 0:11:04Yeah. Well. I like to think of it as my transitional phase.

0:11:08 > 0:11:10You know why I'm here, Antoine?

0:11:13 > 0:11:17Because you have a temperature of 38 degrees.

0:11:17 > 0:11:20Abdominal swelling and a large degree of localised pain.

0:11:20 > 0:11:25Antoine. We need to talk about our son.

0:11:28 > 0:11:34Cheesy Crunchits. Right? A whole new unopened bag of Cheesy Crunchits.

0:11:34 > 0:11:37- I don't... - That lad loves them. They all do.

0:11:37 > 0:11:40- Sorry, I don't see that as empirical proof of any medical...- I know.

0:11:40 > 0:11:42And you're going to say the exact same thing

0:11:42 > 0:11:44they said in the Cheltenham Infirmary.

0:11:44 > 0:11:46- You've already been to A & E? - Don't for one minute think

0:11:46 > 0:11:48that I'm disrespecting your medical professionalism.

0:11:48 > 0:11:51And they examined him and then they sent you away?

0:11:51 > 0:11:54They did. They weren't convinced. That's why I came straight here.

0:11:54 > 0:11:57Because I know, in my waters, he's not right.

0:11:57 > 0:11:59Because of Cheesy Crunchits?

0:11:59 > 0:12:00Exactly.

0:12:00 > 0:12:02You see, I still don't...

0:12:02 > 0:12:05Look, look, look. I've worked with boys my whole life. Outward Bound.

0:12:05 > 0:12:09Swim coach. Scout leader. Youth leader. Five aside. Eleven aside.

0:12:09 > 0:12:12Theatre in Education. Touch rugby.

0:12:12 > 0:12:16Abseiling. Kayak instructor and bushcraft skills.

0:12:16 > 0:12:17Wow.

0:12:17 > 0:12:21And I know no nine-year-old boy sits in a car from North Wales to

0:12:21 > 0:12:26Plymouth and just stares at an unopened bag of Cheesy Crunchits.

0:12:26 > 0:12:28Unless he's ill.

0:12:30 > 0:12:32Great.

0:12:33 > 0:12:35Edward seems to think you've had a fall.

0:12:36 > 0:12:39Liam. Were you messing about with those Cardiff boys?

0:12:39 > 0:12:41He was limping and clutching his belly.

0:12:41 > 0:12:43And I'm sure I heard an engine.

0:12:43 > 0:12:46Liam, did one of them Welshies have a pit bike?

0:12:46 > 0:12:48- No.- What's a pit?

0:12:48 > 0:12:50Little mini motor bike. Lethal things.

0:12:50 > 0:12:54Well, there are some signs of bruising. Yeah, it's tender.

0:12:54 > 0:12:56Was there a pit bike? Tell me.

0:12:56 > 0:12:58It would have to have been a very hard fall to have done

0:12:58 > 0:13:00any serious damage.

0:13:00 > 0:13:02Lads aren't allowed near pit bikes in my care.

0:13:02 > 0:13:05On a scale of one to ten, how sore is it?

0:13:07 > 0:13:11You see, it is very hard for me to order tests based on a shrug

0:13:11 > 0:13:16and an uneaten bag of Cheesy Crunchits.

0:13:16 > 0:13:18A little devil?

0:13:18 > 0:13:23Horns and a tail, with a tiny little trident fork.

0:13:23 > 0:13:25Is it a religious thing?

0:13:25 > 0:13:26And you said?

0:13:27 > 0:13:33"Distended abdomen and discoloured tissue leads me to surmise that."

0:13:34 > 0:13:36And that was it.

0:13:36 > 0:13:39- That was it?- He went ballistic. He chucked me out.

0:13:44 > 0:13:47Aren't nurses supposed to do this stuff?

0:13:47 > 0:13:50Special patient. Special treatment.

0:13:53 > 0:13:55It's not because you're embarrassed?

0:13:55 > 0:13:58Don't want any of your esteemed colleagues to know.

0:13:58 > 0:14:00- What?- That I'm your baby mama.

0:14:00 > 0:14:02Don't say that! Don't call yourself that.

0:14:02 > 0:14:04I hate it.

0:14:04 > 0:14:06What, and you think I don't?

0:14:08 > 0:14:11Look.

0:14:11 > 0:14:14About not calling.

0:14:14 > 0:14:17College was a big world. A big...

0:14:17 > 0:14:21Gay world. I know. It's OK.

0:14:23 > 0:14:26I was 24. You were 18.

0:14:26 > 0:14:27It was my decision.

0:14:27 > 0:14:29And what? You didn't think I'd want to be

0:14:29 > 0:14:31involved in that decision?

0:14:31 > 0:14:34You know what I think? What I think you would have said.

0:14:34 > 0:14:37I think you would've asked me to terminate.

0:14:39 > 0:14:40Really?

0:14:40 > 0:14:44You have no idea how many people wanted me

0:14:44 > 0:14:46to terminate that pregnancy.

0:14:46 > 0:14:49And that was before anyone even knew what colour Jake was going to be.

0:14:49 > 0:14:51Oh, so that was an issue?

0:14:51 > 0:14:53Don't be stupid. Of course it was an issue.

0:14:55 > 0:14:57SHE GASPS

0:14:57 > 0:14:59I'll get you some morphine.

0:14:59 > 0:15:01Now you're talking.

0:15:03 > 0:15:05Look, I'm sorry.

0:15:05 > 0:15:08Look, it doesn't matter, Antoine. It's all history.

0:15:08 > 0:15:13Just...please....just tell me you know where Jake is now.

0:15:17 > 0:15:19You do know where he is?

0:15:22 > 0:15:25- That's it, off the back wall. Lovely.- Ah, cracker.

0:15:25 > 0:15:30OK, cowboys, let's get the sick bowls off of our heads.

0:15:30 > 0:15:31Doug Mitchell?

0:15:31 > 0:15:33Mitch.

0:15:33 > 0:15:36Rampisham YF Ring-Burners Fest?

0:15:36 > 0:15:38We had them printed for our last vindaloo eating contest.

0:15:38 > 0:15:42Ah-hah. And the YF, does that stand for what I think it stands for?

0:15:42 > 0:15:44Young Farmers? Yeah. Bang on.

0:15:44 > 0:15:47Rampisham Young Farmers. West Somerset fund-raising champions.

0:15:47 > 0:15:49Champ-i-o-ons.

0:15:49 > 0:15:52And you're the champion who drank paint stripper?

0:15:52 > 0:15:55HE LAUGHS Sorry. It still makes me laugh.

0:15:55 > 0:15:56How?

0:15:56 > 0:16:00Young Farmers' Charity Cocktail Contest.

0:16:00 > 0:16:01Of course, I should've guessed.

0:16:01 > 0:16:05We raised £1,140 for the Mother and Baby Unit up Bridport Hospital.

0:16:05 > 0:16:07Well, that's highly commendable.

0:16:07 > 0:16:10But see, a few of us decided to have a post-contest contest.

0:16:10 > 0:16:13Few interesting one-off cocktails, like.

0:16:13 > 0:16:14Paint stripper?

0:16:14 > 0:16:17Yeah, see. But it was an accident. Because Kelvin Bugler...

0:16:17 > 0:16:20He brought a load of bottles from his dad's tractor shed.

0:16:20 > 0:16:22Farmers don't throw nothing away. Old gin bottle.

0:16:22 > 0:16:24Except it wasn't gin.

0:16:24 > 0:16:26Well, that must've hurt.

0:16:26 > 0:16:29Nah. No, I've had worse. Dorset Naga.

0:16:29 > 0:16:33Hottest Chilli Eating Contest, 2010. Now that hurt.

0:16:33 > 0:16:36- You guys are nuts. You know that? - So are you my doctor?

0:16:36 > 0:16:38No. I'm your nurse.

0:16:38 > 0:16:41THEY BOTH LAUGH

0:16:41 > 0:16:43Sure you are, sweetheart.

0:16:47 > 0:16:52Morphine. Ten milligrams. And blood test results from AAU.

0:16:52 > 0:16:53Thanks.

0:16:53 > 0:16:56D'you want me to get Dr Digby to come over?

0:16:56 > 0:16:57No.

0:16:57 > 0:16:59Shall I do that for you?

0:16:59 > 0:17:01No.

0:17:01 > 0:17:04Well, just give me a shout if you need anything.

0:17:04 > 0:17:06Or you can buzz. You don't need to shout.

0:17:09 > 0:17:10OK.

0:17:13 > 0:17:16I don't believe it. He actually got himself a job here.

0:17:16 > 0:17:18I'm amazed.

0:17:18 > 0:17:19He got sacked.

0:17:20 > 0:17:23That doesn't amaze me so much. Oh, Jake.

0:17:25 > 0:17:29He's my little boy. I love him to pieces and back.

0:17:29 > 0:17:34But he is just so angry with everything. And everyone.

0:17:39 > 0:17:42He so wanted to meet you.

0:17:43 > 0:17:46It's all, for years, he ever asked me.

0:17:48 > 0:17:50He got drunk.

0:17:50 > 0:17:54He crashed into the theatre in the middle of an operation.

0:17:54 > 0:17:56Don't. I don't want to know. I've heard it all before.

0:17:56 > 0:17:58From school. From police.

0:17:58 > 0:18:02Look, Anna, I'm going to need to do a few more tests.

0:18:02 > 0:18:06Get a closer look at the swelling on your gall bladder.

0:18:06 > 0:18:07OK.

0:18:07 > 0:18:09I need to ask.

0:18:10 > 0:18:15Is this going to be weird? Would you like me to get you another doctor?

0:18:15 > 0:18:19I see you in him, y'know. It's mad.

0:18:21 > 0:18:23He's never even seen a photo of you.

0:18:23 > 0:18:27But something in the way he speaks. The way he walks.

0:18:36 > 0:18:40Never mind. Doesn't matter.

0:18:41 > 0:18:43You just get me well.

0:18:45 > 0:18:46I'll get the machine.

0:18:53 > 0:18:57Boy's had a fall. Maybe. Doesn't show too many signs of trauma.

0:18:57 > 0:18:59But the youth worker chap seems to think something's wrong

0:18:59 > 0:19:03- so I need an executive decision. - What about his parents?

0:19:03 > 0:19:05Erm, there'd only be his mother. In Plymouth.

0:19:05 > 0:19:07We're on our way back.

0:19:07 > 0:19:09Right, well if she doesn't think he's OK in the morning,

0:19:09 > 0:19:11when he wakes up...

0:19:11 > 0:19:13She's not, to be frank, the most meticulous of mothers.

0:19:13 > 0:19:15Which is why Liam's often in the Community Youth Scheme.

0:19:15 > 0:19:20- I see.- As mothers go, she's a bit...lax, shall we say.

0:19:20 > 0:19:22Well, thank you. Excuse us.

0:19:24 > 0:19:28CT scanner is booked solid. Groaning with backlog.

0:19:28 > 0:19:31OK, well. What d'you think? Send him on to Plymouth.

0:19:31 > 0:19:34- Resources here are squeaking. - Right, well. Ship him out.

0:19:34 > 0:19:35You sure?

0:19:36 > 0:19:43No. I am not sure. Send him for a scan.

0:19:43 > 0:19:45See if they can squeeze him in.

0:19:45 > 0:19:46OK.

0:19:51 > 0:19:54I don't know what's going on. I asked if you should go over.

0:19:54 > 0:19:56"Be my shadow," that's what he said.

0:19:56 > 0:20:00- A shadow is attached. Yes? - He said no.- Unequivocally?

0:20:00 > 0:20:05- Sorry?- Definitely no?

0:20:05 > 0:20:06No.

0:20:06 > 0:20:08Oh.

0:20:08 > 0:20:10Digby, follow me. Now!

0:20:16 > 0:20:18THEY SNIGGER

0:20:18 > 0:20:22I'm not doing that on purpose, you know. I can't help it.

0:20:22 > 0:20:25It's cos my muscle tone's so...toned.

0:20:25 > 0:20:27It might be hard for you to appreciate

0:20:27 > 0:20:30but you are a very important patient to us in Holby today.

0:20:30 > 0:20:33What we're going to do to your damaged oesophagus

0:20:33 > 0:20:35is quite ground-breaking.

0:20:35 > 0:20:37When will I be able to drink again?

0:20:38 > 0:20:41You'll be able to have little sips of iced water

0:20:41 > 0:20:43almost as soon as you're conscious again on the ward.

0:20:43 > 0:20:45Nah, I meant cider!

0:20:45 > 0:20:48His big brother makes wicked scrumpy. In the barn.

0:20:48 > 0:20:50Rough stuff, sharp as knives.

0:20:50 > 0:20:51Make your hair curl.

0:20:51 > 0:20:54You'd look good with curly hair. Wouldn't she?

0:20:55 > 0:20:57You and the Jock,

0:20:57 > 0:20:59you sure you aren't just having a laugh with us.

0:20:59 > 0:21:02Him pretending to be a nurse and you pretending to be a doctor, like?

0:21:02 > 0:21:04April Fools' is not for a couple of weeks.

0:21:04 > 0:21:08Am I right? Eh?

0:21:08 > 0:21:10This is going to feel cold and clammy.

0:21:10 > 0:21:12Bet you say that to all the girls.

0:21:14 > 0:21:16SHE LAUGHS

0:21:16 > 0:21:19I'm sorry. You are very easy to tease.

0:21:19 > 0:21:21Talk me through it. I want your observations.

0:21:21 > 0:21:23Show me what you've learned.

0:21:23 > 0:21:25He any good as a teacher?

0:21:25 > 0:21:28Umm. Yes, yes. Very knowledgeable.

0:21:28 > 0:21:29Not what I asked.

0:21:29 > 0:21:33Here's the gall bladder. Seems to be some irritation of the viscera.

0:21:33 > 0:21:37Being a teacher. It's a lot like being a parent.

0:21:37 > 0:21:40You've got to be very patient. Yeah? Selfless.

0:21:40 > 0:21:43It just doesn't work if you're too selfish.

0:21:43 > 0:21:45- I don't know what you mean. Sorry. - Leave him alone.

0:21:45 > 0:21:47Very protective, is he? Looks out for you?

0:21:47 > 0:21:49What was I supposed to do, Anna?

0:21:49 > 0:21:51He came here. Got himself a job here.

0:21:51 > 0:21:54For you. And still you let them sack him?

0:21:54 > 0:21:55He had it coming.

0:21:55 > 0:21:57You couldn't have stood up for him, maybe?

0:21:57 > 0:21:58Stood up for him? Really?

0:21:58 > 0:22:01I'm assuming this mass here is most likely inflammation...

0:22:01 > 0:22:02Why not? He's not...

0:22:02 > 0:22:05He's a complete stranger. Pitches up here. Completely out of the blue.

0:22:05 > 0:22:07I mean, a porter. I don't even know who he is.

0:22:07 > 0:22:09I find him in the locker room. Going through my bag.

0:22:09 > 0:22:11And then he's throwing your name at me.

0:22:11 > 0:22:12He is not a thief.

0:22:12 > 0:22:15So standard procedure would be laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

0:22:15 > 0:22:18He's a lot of things. Messed up. Lost. Hot-headed.

0:22:18 > 0:22:20But Jake is not a thief.

0:22:20 > 0:22:23In other words, Mr Malick's going to need to remove your gall bladder.

0:22:23 > 0:22:26Sorry. Is this Jake the porter who ran me over with a laundry trolley?

0:22:26 > 0:22:28- Didn't you...?- Get out!

0:22:33 > 0:22:35The paint stripper was like three months ago.

0:22:35 > 0:22:38I know. But they had to wait for your oesophagus to heal,

0:22:38 > 0:22:39before they can operate.

0:22:39 > 0:22:42It's been so boring though. Doctors said no spicy food.

0:22:42 > 0:22:44No baltis, no tacos. No kebabs.

0:22:44 > 0:22:47Just mushy, bland mush and no alcohol.

0:22:47 > 0:22:49- And you've stuck to that, have you? - Yeah. Of course.

0:22:49 > 0:22:52Because if you haven't, if you've messed your gullet up again,

0:22:52 > 0:22:55then Ms Naylor can't make you a brand new beer-tube.

0:22:55 > 0:22:57- I'm serious.- Yeah. Sure, yeah.

0:22:57 > 0:23:00But you can see why rice pudding and haddock in milk could get boring.

0:23:00 > 0:23:03Well, things are about to get very exciting for you again.

0:23:03 > 0:23:06This is your contrast swallow, for your scan.

0:23:06 > 0:23:09And you'll be glad to hear you have to drink every drop of it

0:23:09 > 0:23:12in order for it to show up on the CT scan.

0:23:12 > 0:23:14And it tastes absolutely horrible,

0:23:14 > 0:23:17which shouldn't be a problem for you.

0:23:20 > 0:23:22Any more?

0:23:23 > 0:23:26You're supposed to drink it during the scan.

0:23:28 > 0:23:31Who'd've though the little temp orderly would end up

0:23:31 > 0:23:32taking my gall bladder out.

0:23:32 > 0:23:34It's not too late to get another doctor.

0:23:34 > 0:23:37No way. This is interesting. Hearing your thoughts

0:23:37 > 0:23:39about how you don't think I brought Jake up right.

0:23:39 > 0:23:42- It's all my fault.- I'm saying, you're not the first single mother

0:23:42 > 0:23:44to bring up a black son. My mum was single.

0:23:44 > 0:23:46So now you're comparing me to your mother!

0:23:46 > 0:23:49Whatever, look. I mean what I say about getting another surgeon.

0:23:49 > 0:23:51No. I want you. And bring Luke Skywalker along.

0:23:51 > 0:23:53He could do with an education.

0:23:55 > 0:23:58See, I really need Jonny to be on his A-game.

0:23:58 > 0:24:01When's he ever not? He's hand-reared by me. Remember?

0:24:01 > 0:24:03Yeah, well. He's been a bit edgy with me of late,

0:24:03 > 0:24:04on account of...

0:24:04 > 0:24:07Well, you're his friend so he's probably already told you that I...

0:24:07 > 0:24:10That you're a "heartbreaking, two-timing cow?"

0:24:10 > 0:24:12- Um.- Yeah. He might have mentioned it.

0:24:12 > 0:24:15Yeah, well. It's just today. With this new procedure and the pressure.

0:24:15 > 0:24:16Hanssen breathing down your neck?

0:24:16 > 0:24:18Everyone buying tickets to watch you fail?

0:24:18 > 0:24:21Look, I just need to know Jonny's going to be up to it.

0:24:21 > 0:24:23- OK, that his... - Crushed and battered ego?

0:24:23 > 0:24:26Yes. Is not going to get in the way. So do I need to find someone else?

0:24:26 > 0:24:29Are you asking me if he can do his job?

0:24:29 > 0:24:31Who can do his job?

0:24:36 > 0:24:38Who?

0:24:38 > 0:24:39We had to wait ages for CT.

0:24:39 > 0:24:42And when he came out, he was looking very pale.

0:24:42 > 0:24:43Where are the scan results?

0:24:43 > 0:24:45His heart rate's up and his B/P's dropping.

0:24:45 > 0:24:48Didn't I say he wasn't right? The Crunchits and that.

0:24:48 > 0:24:50Everybody thinks I was imagining this but I...

0:24:50 > 0:24:53Yes, yes. You're not. But please. Could you just give us a minute?

0:24:53 > 0:24:54What d'you think?

0:24:54 > 0:24:57There's some abdominal bleeding that we'll need to investigate.

0:24:57 > 0:24:59- Have we got a theatre? - I'll check the rota.

0:24:59 > 0:25:02- Laparotomy to stop the bleed. - And possible splenectomy.

0:25:02 > 0:25:04Let's see the extent of the damage.

0:25:04 > 0:25:06- Yep. Now would be a good time to do it.- Right.

0:25:09 > 0:25:12It hurts enough what you did to me in my private life,

0:25:12 > 0:25:15without you then using it against me in my professional life.

0:25:15 > 0:25:18- I'm not using it against you. - Would you let me finish?

0:25:18 > 0:25:21- Just shut your gob for one minute. - No! I won't.

0:25:21 > 0:25:23- Why doesn't that surprise me? - I can't afford to.

0:25:25 > 0:25:28- Either the time or the emotion. - Emotion?

0:25:28 > 0:25:32What, do you actually understand the concept of human emotion, do you?

0:25:36 > 0:25:39Look, there is a lot riding on this today.

0:25:39 > 0:25:44I wish there wasn't. But I can't have it go wrong.

0:25:44 > 0:25:46There can't be any weak links.

0:25:48 > 0:25:51Are you calling me a weak link?

0:25:51 > 0:25:54There is no-one else I would rather have running my team.

0:25:54 > 0:25:56Honestly.

0:25:56 > 0:25:58It's just...

0:25:58 > 0:26:02I don't want what's happened between us to bleed into work.

0:26:02 > 0:26:04You think I don't know that?

0:26:05 > 0:26:08I'm sorry. I appreciate it.

0:26:11 > 0:26:14It's not like there's all that much to get upset about, anyway.

0:26:19 > 0:26:23After you'd gone I...I searched my flat.

0:26:23 > 0:26:26Looking for anything that belonged to you that I could throw out.

0:26:26 > 0:26:30Or burn. You know, understandably, I think.

0:26:30 > 0:26:34I wanted to erase any trace of you from my life.

0:26:34 > 0:26:37Just get rid of anything that was going to reminded me of you.

0:26:37 > 0:26:41And admittedly, I may have gotten a little emotionally indulgent.

0:26:41 > 0:26:43Listened to one to many Adele tunes.

0:26:45 > 0:26:49But you know what? You know what I found?

0:26:49 > 0:26:53Nothing. Not a thing. Not even a toothbrush!

0:26:53 > 0:26:57It was like you had never been in my life.

0:26:58 > 0:27:02So for me to make out like I...

0:27:02 > 0:27:05I'm not hurt, and I don't miss you,

0:27:05 > 0:27:09and instead, just to concentrating on doing my job, not a problem.

0:27:09 > 0:27:10Not at all.

0:27:12 > 0:27:15Because you were never really there in the first place.

0:27:45 > 0:27:48Treat me like a short-sighted idiot.

0:27:49 > 0:27:50Sorry?

0:27:50 > 0:27:53Show me what you know. Tell me what I'm looking at.

0:27:53 > 0:27:56What I'm doing. What I'm seeing. Where I'm at.

0:27:56 > 0:28:01Um, we're trying to locate and identify the gall bladder

0:28:01 > 0:28:03in the left peritoneal cavity.

0:28:03 > 0:28:05Where?

0:28:05 > 0:28:10Situated in a fossa on the under side of the right lobe of the liver.

0:28:12 > 0:28:14- That's it.- You sure?

0:28:14 > 0:28:15Yes.

0:28:15 > 0:28:17Now we've found it. What do we do?

0:28:17 > 0:28:19Manipulating the left hand scope,

0:28:19 > 0:28:22you isolate the cystic duct of the gall bladder.

0:28:22 > 0:28:25- And moving the scalpel in, prepare to excise...- Wait a minute.

0:28:25 > 0:28:29Feels very hard and fibrosed. Obstructive.

0:28:29 > 0:28:31Could be scar tissue?

0:28:31 > 0:28:35There's deposits on the surface of the liver. These lumps.

0:28:35 > 0:28:38- Gall bladder doesn't appear to be perforated.- These could be...

0:28:38 > 0:28:41It's acutely swollen which fits with gallstones blocking one or

0:28:41 > 0:28:43more of the ducts.

0:28:43 > 0:28:47Oh, it could be...cancer! Metastatic bile duct cancer tumours!

0:28:51 > 0:28:54I am posting this immediately.

0:28:54 > 0:28:58Get off. Get off there. Time for your CT scan. Get in the chair.

0:28:58 > 0:28:59Can he come?

0:28:59 > 0:29:01I suppose.

0:29:01 > 0:29:04Aces. Do I have to go in a wheelie?

0:29:04 > 0:29:06Yes. It's hospital protocol.

0:29:06 > 0:29:09Well, I'm not going unless Jimmer gets one.

0:29:09 > 0:29:11Fine. Fine.

0:29:14 > 0:29:17- Keep up, young 'un! - Yeah, I'm coming.

0:29:18 > 0:29:20No chance.

0:29:20 > 0:29:23- You're mine, my friend, you're mine. - Yeah, whatever.

0:29:24 > 0:29:25Can you speak?

0:29:25 > 0:29:28I am holding a boy's ruptured spleen in the palm of my hand.

0:29:28 > 0:29:30- Apart from that, I'm all ears. - This can wait.

0:29:30 > 0:29:33Not if it's about my mother, it can't.

0:29:33 > 0:29:36There's been an issue with her admission onto the stroke ward.

0:29:36 > 0:29:39Another patient has been given priority.

0:29:39 > 0:29:42Do not tell me that they are bumping my mother.

0:29:42 > 0:29:45It should only be a couple of days' delay, at the most.

0:29:45 > 0:29:46You're seriously telling me

0:29:46 > 0:29:49after everything that's happened on Keller...?

0:29:49 > 0:29:52Serena, it's patient priority. You know the system.

0:29:52 > 0:29:53I'm sorry.

0:29:53 > 0:29:55OK.

0:29:55 > 0:29:57Do you want me to...?

0:29:57 > 0:29:59No, it's fine. I'll deal with it later.

0:30:10 > 0:30:13I was expecting a little glass jar.

0:30:13 > 0:30:16Little specimen jar with a couple of gallstones in it.

0:30:16 > 0:30:20Something I could get made into earrings. Leave to my grandchildren.

0:30:22 > 0:30:25I couldn't remove the gall bladder.

0:30:25 > 0:30:27Knew I should've got a proper doctor.

0:30:29 > 0:30:33I had to abandon the procedure because...

0:30:33 > 0:30:35Because I found something abnormal.

0:30:37 > 0:30:39Some lumps.

0:30:39 > 0:30:40Lumps?

0:30:41 > 0:30:43It could be anything.

0:30:43 > 0:30:45So we're going to take you for a CT scan.

0:30:45 > 0:30:47Find out what they are.

0:30:49 > 0:30:51What's this?

0:30:51 > 0:30:55A morphine pump. It's on demand. You press this.

0:30:55 > 0:31:02Morphine on demand. That is either very good or very bad.

0:31:05 > 0:31:06How's it going?

0:31:06 > 0:31:08I've booked the anaesthetist you like.

0:31:08 > 0:31:11I got the thorascopes from upstairs. The good one.

0:31:11 > 0:31:13Mo's raring to go.

0:31:13 > 0:31:17Hanssen's on call and HDU is waiting for a post-op.

0:31:17 > 0:31:19So we're ship-shape.

0:31:19 > 0:31:22OK. And the scan?

0:31:22 > 0:31:25I don't know. What d'you think about that?

0:31:25 > 0:31:29Well. He had paint stripper sloshing through there.

0:31:29 > 0:31:31So the whole thing is a nightmare. Look at the stricture.

0:31:31 > 0:31:33It's...it's everywhere.

0:31:33 > 0:31:35No, the sooner we rip that all out and start again, the better.

0:31:35 > 0:31:39It just looks very unstable, like it might perforate.

0:31:39 > 0:31:41Well, it's probably just some peristalsis.

0:31:41 > 0:31:42It should have healed by now.

0:31:42 > 0:31:46- It's been three months. Has he been sticking to the diet?- So he says.

0:31:47 > 0:31:49Mr Mitchell.

0:31:49 > 0:31:50Hello.

0:31:50 > 0:31:53This is your consultant surgeon, Jac Naylor.

0:31:54 > 0:31:56This is your captain speaking.

0:31:56 > 0:32:00Have you been sticking to the diet? No spices, no alcohol?

0:32:00 > 0:32:02That's affirmative, captain.

0:32:02 > 0:32:04There you go.

0:32:04 > 0:32:06Look, Jac, I don't want to be the one to throw

0:32:06 > 0:32:08- a spanner in your works today but... - Then don't.

0:32:11 > 0:32:13I know you stuck four tubes in me.

0:32:13 > 0:32:15They're called ports.

0:32:15 > 0:32:16But I feel great.

0:32:16 > 0:32:18Probably the morphine.

0:32:18 > 0:32:20You go to the gym, don't you?

0:32:23 > 0:32:25Look at his biceps!

0:32:25 > 0:32:29Course he goes to the gym. Go on, squeeze them.

0:32:33 > 0:32:35So what can you bench press?

0:32:35 > 0:32:36110, 120 kilograms.

0:32:36 > 0:32:38So you could lift two of me?

0:32:39 > 0:32:43- But you couldn't stop Jake? - I didn't...- From just kicking off?

0:32:43 > 0:32:47- It wasn't like that.- So, what chance did I ever have? His mum.

0:32:47 > 0:32:50He's a big boy. What am I saying? He's a man.

0:32:50 > 0:32:52Are you saying Jake hurt you?

0:32:52 > 0:32:56No! Never. He has never been violent with me.

0:32:56 > 0:32:59Never. But he is strong.

0:33:02 > 0:33:06A boy like that needs a father.

0:33:06 > 0:33:09That's what I'm saying.

0:33:18 > 0:33:21Well. This didn't happen in any fall.

0:33:21 > 0:33:23To cause that much damage.

0:33:23 > 0:33:25Someone's not telling the truth.

0:33:25 > 0:33:26Liam's not saying much of anything.

0:33:26 > 0:33:28D'you think we need to call Social Services?

0:33:28 > 0:33:31- You think the youth worker is suspicious?- Maybe.

0:33:31 > 0:33:33But if he hadn't brought Liam back to hospital,

0:33:33 > 0:33:36after we sent him away and practically forced us to scan him...

0:33:36 > 0:33:37I know what you're saying.

0:33:37 > 0:33:40- If we'd left it until tomorrow, he would have died.- I appreciate that.

0:33:40 > 0:33:43Doesn't mean the youth worker isn't guilty of something.

0:33:44 > 0:33:46Are we ready?

0:33:46 > 0:33:47Like Freddie.

0:34:06 > 0:34:08This.

0:34:08 > 0:34:09What d'you think?

0:34:22 > 0:34:24You OK?

0:34:24 > 0:34:25Yep, yep. Tip-top.

0:34:29 > 0:34:32So it was fun then. This Ring-Burner Curry Fest, was it?

0:34:32 > 0:34:33Excellent.

0:34:33 > 0:34:35It was in February, right?

0:34:35 > 0:34:36Yeah.

0:34:36 > 0:34:40Right. So you went along too, did you?

0:34:40 > 0:34:41Yeah. Yeah.

0:34:41 > 0:34:46And you didn't have a single bowl of curry or a drink all night?

0:34:50 > 0:34:52Right.

0:34:54 > 0:34:58Call me, Jake. Please.

0:34:59 > 0:35:02Young people. They're all about phones.

0:35:02 > 0:35:06But have you ever actually managed to speak to one of them on a phone?

0:35:06 > 0:35:07It's like getting blood out of...

0:35:12 > 0:35:14Oh.

0:35:14 > 0:35:16Crap.

0:35:20 > 0:35:24It is cancer, isn't it?

0:35:24 > 0:35:27Anna, nothing's confirmed.

0:35:27 > 0:35:31But you just saw something on the scan, yeah?

0:35:31 > 0:35:33Tell me the truth.

0:35:35 > 0:35:39- I don't know enough... - So what are we talking?

0:35:39 > 0:35:42I've got to have chemo, wear a headscarf

0:35:42 > 0:35:44and buy factor 50 sun block?

0:35:59 > 0:36:04As soon as we get all the data, we can discuss the next step.

0:36:05 > 0:36:10Antoine, I know I let Jake blind side you.

0:36:12 > 0:36:14But it is not too late.

0:36:14 > 0:36:18You and me, together, we can try and sort him out.

0:36:18 > 0:36:20Anna.

0:36:20 > 0:36:23I know. I know he crashed into your world like a bulldozer.

0:36:23 > 0:36:27But we could turn him round. He's only 17.

0:36:29 > 0:36:32If we try. Do it together.

0:36:54 > 0:36:56SHE SOBS

0:36:56 > 0:36:58I think he's lying about sticking to the diet.

0:36:58 > 0:37:00He told me he had.

0:37:00 > 0:37:02Yes, but he's a numb-nuts. Bless him.

0:37:02 > 0:37:03I meant what I said.

0:37:03 > 0:37:05I don't want you getting in the way of this today.

0:37:05 > 0:37:08I know. And this isn't about me.

0:37:08 > 0:37:10Really?

0:37:10 > 0:37:12HE RETCHES

0:37:15 > 0:37:17That's blood.

0:37:29 > 0:37:32Ms Effanga, due to unforeseen circumstances,

0:37:32 > 0:37:34we will have to re-prep.

0:37:34 > 0:37:38I will now only be performing a standard thoracotomy.

0:37:42 > 0:37:46As we suspected, she has advanced metastatic bile duct cancer,

0:37:46 > 0:37:48cholangiocarcinoma.

0:37:48 > 0:37:50We can try an open cholecystectomy.

0:37:50 > 0:37:53That way, no obstructions, remove the gall bladder

0:37:53 > 0:37:54and any of the local tumours.

0:37:54 > 0:37:57Secondaries have spread over her chest, peritoneal cavity

0:37:57 > 0:37:59and clustered round the liver.

0:37:59 > 0:38:01Blast it with radiography after surgery.

0:38:01 > 0:38:04Antoine, you know as well as I do, once it's got a hold on the liver...

0:38:04 > 0:38:07So you're saying palliative care only.

0:38:07 > 0:38:09Palliative? Come on, Ric.

0:38:09 > 0:38:12You survived when it spread to your liver.

0:38:12 > 0:38:15This is way more advanced.

0:38:16 > 0:38:18Nathan's right.

0:38:18 > 0:38:19She'll need medication.

0:38:19 > 0:38:22A good hospice, somewhere local to where she lives.

0:38:22 > 0:38:24Let's inform her family and friends.

0:38:24 > 0:38:27She doesn't speak to them. They disowned her.

0:38:30 > 0:38:31Well, then I'm sorry,

0:38:31 > 0:38:34but I'd really recommend she quickly build some bridges.

0:38:36 > 0:38:38Months?

0:38:38 > 0:38:39Weeks.

0:38:42 > 0:38:45Would you like me to tell her?

0:38:45 > 0:38:47It's all right. I'll find somewhere quiet.

0:38:56 > 0:38:59LOUD INHALATIONS

0:39:15 > 0:39:17THINGS CLATTER TO THE GROUND

0:39:17 > 0:39:18Hey!

0:39:18 > 0:39:21Oi. Stop it.

0:39:38 > 0:39:40Weeks?

0:39:40 > 0:39:41I'm very sorry.

0:39:44 > 0:39:48Weeks?! That can't be right.

0:39:48 > 0:39:50I know it's a lot to...

0:39:50 > 0:39:52No, no, no. Someone...someone's got something wrong.

0:39:52 > 0:39:53I know it must be...

0:39:53 > 0:39:57Cos I came in here with a bad belly ache. Kidney stones.

0:39:57 > 0:39:59Gallstones. Whatever. Not cancer.

0:39:59 > 0:40:06- I'm afraid...- OK. Maybe cancer. But not weeks cancer!

0:40:06 > 0:40:10- It'll take a little time for... - Antoine Malick. OK.

0:40:10 > 0:40:14I know you all probably think he's a really great doctor, and all.

0:40:14 > 0:40:15And maybe he is.

0:40:15 > 0:40:19But I've known him since he was a boy, practically.

0:40:19 > 0:40:23He's good. He's serious. He's hard-working.

0:40:23 > 0:40:26But he...he does make mistakes.

0:40:26 > 0:40:29We've checked all the scans, all the results.

0:40:29 > 0:40:32No, no. Believe me. He does make mistakes. Big ones.

0:40:32 > 0:40:39- This is not Mr Malick's mistake, it's...- I have a teenage son!

0:40:39 > 0:40:41I'm really very sorry.

0:40:41 > 0:40:43I can't die.

0:40:43 > 0:40:45SHE SOBS

0:40:45 > 0:40:47I can't leave him now.

0:40:47 > 0:40:50- Not without any...- The sooner you bring your son in,

0:40:50 > 0:40:55then we, together with the counsellor, can sit down with him...

0:40:55 > 0:40:58Bring him in? What are you talking about?!

0:40:58 > 0:41:01You already threw him out!

0:41:08 > 0:41:11You treated a woman with whom you have a son!

0:41:11 > 0:41:13You were operating on the mother of your child,

0:41:13 > 0:41:15you didn't bother to tell your team?!

0:41:15 > 0:41:17- Our son is...- Jake. Yes. I know that. Now.

0:41:17 > 0:41:20Jake, who by the way, you told me to sack.

0:41:20 > 0:41:22I know that now. I didn't know it when...

0:41:22 > 0:41:24Sack because he was a risk to patients. Risk to himself.

0:41:24 > 0:41:27- Risk to the ward. - I had no idea you were related.

0:41:27 > 0:41:30Want to know the truth? Neither did I till about a day before.

0:41:30 > 0:41:31Do not walk away from me!

0:41:31 > 0:41:34It wouldn't and shouldn't have made any difference who he was.

0:41:34 > 0:41:36It was the right thing. The boy's a liability.

0:41:36 > 0:41:38It doesn't make any difference whatsoever.

0:41:38 > 0:41:40You should still have at told me.

0:41:40 > 0:41:42Why? It doesn't make me look very good, does it?

0:41:42 > 0:41:44To have a son who acts like this.

0:41:44 > 0:41:47Doesn't make you look good? Lying to your superior by omission.

0:41:47 > 0:41:51You're going to stand there, suck your teeth and give me attitude.

0:41:51 > 0:41:54You're applying to become a consultant!

0:41:54 > 0:41:56You expect me to champion you, and give you a reference.

0:41:56 > 0:41:58And you behave like this?

0:41:59 > 0:42:03It was gallstones. That's it.

0:42:03 > 0:42:05I didn't know it was cancer.

0:42:05 > 0:42:06It doesn't matter what it was.

0:42:06 > 0:42:09You cannot treat someone with whom you have so many connections.

0:42:09 > 0:42:13Connections I don't want, all right? Connections I didn't choose, OK.

0:42:13 > 0:42:14Apart from that first act,

0:42:14 > 0:42:17which was just a quick little thing. A teenage experiment.

0:42:17 > 0:42:20Apart from that, I never wanted any more. Or this. Or Jake.

0:42:20 > 0:42:22None of this I asked for.

0:42:22 > 0:42:25- You still kept the truth from me. - So I could treat her.

0:42:25 > 0:42:27It was still a lie.

0:42:32 > 0:42:36What? You telling me you wouldn't do the same?

0:42:44 > 0:42:47He was a textbook case for a full keyhole oesophagectomy!

0:42:47 > 0:42:50We could have made history here today.

0:42:50 > 0:42:53First thorascopic reconstruction in region.

0:42:53 > 0:42:54Suction!

0:42:58 > 0:42:59Stapler!

0:43:02 > 0:43:06Now we just staple up a hole and fit a feeding tube.

0:43:06 > 0:43:08All because he ate a vindaloo?

0:43:08 > 0:43:12Perforated his oesophagus again. What an idiot!

0:43:23 > 0:43:25What is it, Digby?

0:43:25 > 0:43:28- Um...- Can you not see I'm busy?

0:43:29 > 0:43:32Um, it's... Well, a...

0:43:32 > 0:43:33What?

0:43:33 > 0:43:36What could you possibly think is worth interrupting me for now?

0:43:36 > 0:43:39- It's just...- Do I look approachable?

0:43:39 > 0:43:42- No.- Do I look like I want to chat?

0:43:42 > 0:43:47- No.- Teach?- No. - Interact with you in any way?

0:43:47 > 0:43:49No.

0:43:49 > 0:43:50So?

0:43:50 > 0:43:52I'll go.

0:43:53 > 0:43:55It's just, I thought you should know

0:43:55 > 0:43:58your baby mama is discharging herself.

0:44:07 > 0:44:10- Hello?- He had a curry, didn't he?

0:44:10 > 0:44:13- What?- At that. That Ring-Burners Idiot Fest!

0:44:13 > 0:44:16- Um... - And you. You knew all about it!

0:44:16 > 0:44:18It was only a jalfrezi, honest.

0:44:18 > 0:44:21Do you have any idea what that curry has...

0:44:33 > 0:44:35Please, you need to get back in bed.

0:44:35 > 0:44:38Mrs Patterson, you'll make yourself worse. You need rest before...

0:44:38 > 0:44:40- Anna.- Get away from me.

0:44:40 > 0:44:44- Anna. Please. Come on. - You selfish, spoiled little boy.

0:44:44 > 0:44:47I am sorry that I ever laid eyes on you.

0:44:47 > 0:44:49- Let alone had a child with you. - Anna.

0:44:49 > 0:44:52Don't touch me!

0:45:03 > 0:45:05You need to come back onto the ward.

0:45:05 > 0:45:07I will punch you from here to yesterday

0:45:07 > 0:45:10- if you don't get out of my way. - You're too fragile to leave.

0:45:10 > 0:45:13You've had a great deal of medication. You can't leave.

0:45:13 > 0:45:15Don't you tell me what I can't do.

0:45:15 > 0:45:16I need to find my son.

0:45:20 > 0:45:21Anna!

0:45:23 > 0:45:24Anna.

0:45:34 > 0:45:36So, Liam...

0:45:38 > 0:45:42We know your "accident" wasn't a fall.

0:45:42 > 0:45:46You didn't rupture your spleen just running around.

0:45:47 > 0:45:49Look, while Eddie's not here,

0:45:49 > 0:45:52why don't you tell me what really happened?

0:45:53 > 0:45:55Did he do something?

0:45:55 > 0:45:57I just don't want to get him into trouble.

0:45:57 > 0:45:59It's OK. You don't have to worry.

0:45:59 > 0:46:01Just tell me the truth.

0:46:02 > 0:46:03What did he do?

0:46:03 > 0:46:06Nothing. I just...

0:46:07 > 0:46:08I fell off a pit bike.

0:46:10 > 0:46:11Wow.

0:46:12 > 0:46:14And what did Eddie do?

0:46:14 > 0:46:16He wasn't there.

0:46:16 > 0:46:18So why is it his fault?

0:46:18 > 0:46:20It isn't!

0:46:20 > 0:46:23- But you're protecting him.- What?

0:46:24 > 0:46:27Why would Eddie get into trouble?

0:46:27 > 0:46:30- Cos he was in charge.- Right.

0:46:30 > 0:46:34If they find out I bunked off to do bike stunts with the Cardiff Boys...

0:46:36 > 0:46:40So you're scared he'll get into trouble for what you did?

0:46:40 > 0:46:42Yeah.

0:46:42 > 0:46:44He's done nothing to hurt you?

0:46:44 > 0:46:47Eddie? Eddie's golden.

0:46:47 > 0:46:50No-one ever looked out for me like Eddie.

0:46:50 > 0:46:52Don't tell. Please.

0:46:52 > 0:46:54OK.

0:47:12 > 0:47:13I was embarrassed by him.

0:47:15 > 0:47:17That's why I didn't tell you.

0:47:18 > 0:47:21I thought he made me look bad.

0:47:22 > 0:47:24Unprofessional.

0:47:26 > 0:47:27I pushed him away.

0:47:29 > 0:47:32We push them away as boys...

0:47:33 > 0:47:35We can only hope they come back as men.

0:47:39 > 0:47:41I didn't know him as a boy.

0:47:41 > 0:47:43Well, now's your chance.

0:47:46 > 0:47:47You reckon?

0:47:51 > 0:47:54I made mistakes with my son, Leo.

0:47:56 > 0:47:58Ones that I never got to put right.

0:47:58 > 0:48:01I was never much of a father, even when I was there.

0:48:03 > 0:48:05And then...he died.

0:48:07 > 0:48:09Now, do I beat myself up about it?

0:48:11 > 0:48:13Every single day.

0:48:17 > 0:48:22And if I could go back and do things differently, I would.

0:48:22 > 0:48:26But I'm going to have to live with my mistakes as a father.

0:48:28 > 0:48:30Carry them with me to the grave.

0:48:32 > 0:48:34You don't have to do that.

0:48:47 > 0:48:49Ms Campbell, I was very sorry to hear

0:48:49 > 0:48:53that we were unable to transfer your mother to the Stroke Unit today.

0:48:53 > 0:48:55I do assure you that as soon as a bed becomes available...

0:48:55 > 0:48:58You were never a Girl Guide, Mr Hanssen?

0:48:58 > 0:49:03- Um...no. That is one omission from my education.- I was.

0:49:03 > 0:49:05And every single merit badge I won,

0:49:05 > 0:49:09my mother diligently sewed them onto my sash.

0:49:09 > 0:49:10Every exam I passed,

0:49:10 > 0:49:14she would laminate the certificates and display them to her friends

0:49:14 > 0:49:17- like her little trophies. - I'm sure she took great pride.

0:49:17 > 0:49:20Oh, when I went to Harvard, she positively glowed with pride,

0:49:20 > 0:49:21so much she lit up half of Surrey.

0:49:21 > 0:49:23Quite an achievement.

0:49:23 > 0:49:27And yet, when she's brought into my hospital,

0:49:27 > 0:49:29to my place of work...

0:49:30 > 0:49:32..I let her down.

0:49:32 > 0:49:34How do you think that makes me feel?

0:49:34 > 0:49:38- I don't think anyone for one moment would hold you...- I don't care what anyone else thinks.

0:49:38 > 0:49:41The board, the local press. This isn't about anyone else.

0:49:43 > 0:49:45This is a very emotional time for you.

0:49:46 > 0:49:48Look at her.

0:49:49 > 0:49:50Look.

0:49:58 > 0:50:01I don't care how much it costs.

0:50:01 > 0:50:04I don't care whose nose is put out of joint.

0:50:04 > 0:50:06I only want what's best for my mother

0:50:06 > 0:50:09so she is going private.

0:50:09 > 0:50:11I understand.

0:50:11 > 0:50:14And I will be pursuing my enquiry into what went wrong.

0:50:14 > 0:50:18I don't care if it's a conflict of interest.

0:50:18 > 0:50:20I want the truth

0:50:20 > 0:50:25or else, so help me, I will give the press something to write about.

0:50:32 > 0:50:35Calm down. Run me through it again. What happened?

0:50:35 > 0:50:37What happened here?

0:50:37 > 0:50:39Jonny. Jonny Mac!

0:50:43 > 0:50:44What's going on?

0:50:44 > 0:50:46It's not as bad as it looks

0:50:46 > 0:50:48but there was an incident with Jac.

0:50:59 > 0:51:00Ah! Ooh!

0:51:00 > 0:51:02- Be careful, will you?- Sorry.

0:51:05 > 0:51:07Erm, sorry.

0:51:07 > 0:51:10I think I'll take that from there, if you don't mind.

0:51:12 > 0:51:13Thanks.

0:51:15 > 0:51:17Erm...

0:51:17 > 0:51:20There's a crazy young farmer next door who claims that

0:51:20 > 0:51:22you stomped in and head-butted him.

0:51:22 > 0:51:27I think it only fair to tell you that he's planning to sue.

0:51:27 > 0:51:28Ha-ha(!)

0:51:28 > 0:51:30That's going to need another stitch.

0:51:30 > 0:51:32You don't say.

0:51:32 > 0:51:33Or as they say in Drumchapel,

0:51:33 > 0:51:35"Stitch that, Jimmy."

0:51:37 > 0:51:39Well... Get on with it, "Jimmy".

0:51:39 > 0:51:42Oh, no, you don't want me to stitch it, do you?

0:51:42 > 0:51:45A lowly, unprofessional wee nursey.

0:51:45 > 0:51:47I might get all shaky and emotional.

0:51:49 > 0:51:53I might let my feelings interfere with my work.

0:51:53 > 0:51:54Shut up.

0:51:54 > 0:51:57Now, is that how you speak to all healthcare workers?

0:51:59 > 0:52:01You know, we could always get Mr Hanssen down

0:52:01 > 0:52:03to do it for you if you'd like.

0:52:03 > 0:52:05I don't think that will be necessary.

0:52:05 > 0:52:10He would probably do lovely little Director of Surgery stitches,

0:52:10 > 0:52:12all neat and tidy.

0:52:12 > 0:52:13Just get on with it.

0:52:13 > 0:52:16Whereas I am much more likely to do

0:52:16 > 0:52:19great big Scottish-knitting stitches. You'll end up looking like

0:52:19 > 0:52:23a cross between Frankenstein's monster and a patchwork quilt.

0:52:26 > 0:52:27Please.

0:52:29 > 0:52:31Well, I can see the nurse has already given you

0:52:31 > 0:52:33plenty of local anaesthetic.

0:52:34 > 0:52:38Not that you need it, of course, given that you have no feelings.

0:52:41 > 0:52:43You're such an idiot.

0:52:45 > 0:52:46Maybe.

0:52:49 > 0:52:52But I suppose you're not as much an idiot as I am.

0:53:02 > 0:53:04I'm so sorry.

0:53:06 > 0:53:08This is going to hurt.

0:53:18 > 0:53:20Ow!

0:53:20 > 0:53:22Did I win?

0:53:22 > 0:53:25- Win?- Feel as if I've been in a fight.

0:53:26 > 0:53:28- With some stairs.- What?

0:53:32 > 0:53:34So...

0:53:35 > 0:53:38Sexy little Antoine became a great doctor?

0:53:40 > 0:53:43It's pretty amazing, really.

0:53:43 > 0:53:44Maybe...

0:53:46 > 0:53:49I became a doctor, but...

0:53:49 > 0:53:51I'm not sure what sort of man I became.

0:53:51 > 0:53:55You worked very hard to get where you are.

0:53:56 > 0:53:57Yeah.

0:53:57 > 0:54:01I know where you came from, remember. You worked hard.

0:54:03 > 0:54:05And your mum did too.

0:54:06 > 0:54:10She worked very hard keeping you on the straight and narrow.

0:54:11 > 0:54:12Yeah, she did.

0:54:17 > 0:54:20I'm sorry...

0:54:20 > 0:54:23that I did such a rubbish job with Jake.

0:54:23 > 0:54:26- No...- Yes.

0:54:26 > 0:54:30Like the world needs another messed-up teenage boy!

0:54:30 > 0:54:31- He'll be fine.- Will he?

0:54:33 > 0:54:34He will.

0:54:35 > 0:54:36Look...

0:54:38 > 0:54:45I know that there's no... family-shaped hole in your life.

0:54:47 > 0:54:48But I...

0:54:49 > 0:54:54I just didn't know what to do with Jake. And I...

0:54:55 > 0:54:57I hoped...

0:54:57 > 0:55:01I really hoped that finding you would make a difference.

0:55:06 > 0:55:07I just...

0:55:07 > 0:55:10I didn't think of what it would be like for you.

0:55:11 > 0:55:13Your circumstances...

0:55:14 > 0:55:16Your life...

0:55:17 > 0:55:21I just, I just wanted ours to be better.

0:55:21 > 0:55:22It's OK.

0:55:24 > 0:55:25Really...

0:55:28 > 0:55:30You are going to be a consultant.

0:55:33 > 0:55:35That...is impressive.

0:55:42 > 0:55:44You done well, babe.

0:55:52 > 0:55:55I was in Japan...

0:55:56 > 0:56:02..and every night, I would lie in that tiny Japanese bed

0:56:02 > 0:56:05tying myself in knots thinking about what I did to you...

0:56:06 > 0:56:08..to us.

0:56:11 > 0:56:14You know, if this was a disaster movie

0:56:14 > 0:56:17and you were Jennifer Aniston...

0:56:18 > 0:56:20..and I was...

0:56:20 > 0:56:22I dunno, George Clooney...

0:56:26 > 0:56:31..this would probably be the horrible cliched moment

0:56:31 > 0:56:32that we'd kiss.

0:56:34 > 0:56:35Cliche.

0:56:35 > 0:56:37- Cheesy.- Awful.- Hmm.

0:56:39 > 0:56:42- You know, you're the most irritating man I've ever met.- Thank you.

0:56:44 > 0:56:45Which is probably...

0:56:48 > 0:56:49..why I love you.

0:56:51 > 0:56:53- Jac, why are you...?- Shut up!

0:56:53 > 0:56:55OK.

0:57:01 > 0:57:04SIREN WAILS

0:57:04 > 0:57:06Jake? It's Malick.

0:57:08 > 0:57:12When you get this message, call me straightaway, all right?

0:57:12 > 0:57:13No messing. Just...

0:57:15 > 0:57:17It's urgent. You understand?

0:57:20 > 0:57:21Call me.
