0:00:39 > 0:00:42- Spoke to Jas, she passed on the news.- What news?
0:00:42 > 0:00:46Annalese, getting married again. I assumed she'd told you.
0:00:46 > 0:00:50Why would she? I'm only the father to her kids.
0:00:50 > 0:00:51Pupils fixed and dilated.
0:00:51 > 0:00:52What does that mean?
0:00:52 > 0:00:54She's died.
0:00:54 > 0:00:57Did you know that he's been sleeping in the on-call room?
0:00:57 > 0:01:02She's not there any more. How do you live with a ghost?
0:01:02 > 0:01:04Am I going to die?
0:01:04 > 0:01:06I've seen this process test the strongest of marriages.
0:01:06 > 0:01:09Oh, we're strong. Stronger then strong.
0:01:09 > 0:01:11- Chrissie?- Course we are.
0:01:11 > 0:01:17And we're very keen to let Daniel donate his bone marrow.
0:01:17 > 0:01:20RTC straight from the scene. We have head injuries and chest trauma.
0:01:20 > 0:01:24Right, let's get a line in and let's put her into bed eight please, bed eight.
0:01:24 > 0:01:25Thank you.
0:01:27 > 0:01:30How's Rachel?
0:01:30 > 0:01:31She's OK, thanks.
0:01:33 > 0:01:35And the rest of the crew?
0:01:35 > 0:01:39Chrissie's a bit wobbly but... nothing like a crisis to bring people together.
0:01:39 > 0:01:44Morning. Oh, that's not bags, darling, that's luggage.
0:01:44 > 0:01:46Mary-Claire, you got my pneumothorax?
0:01:46 > 0:01:48Yes, let me just get your notes.
0:01:48 > 0:01:49Sacha.
0:01:49 > 0:01:53Oh, hi. How's Daniel?
0:01:53 > 0:01:56He's fine. We were a bit late this morning so I had to take him straight to the creche.
0:01:56 > 0:02:00He really wanted me to give you this. He made it for your birthday.
0:02:00 > 0:02:02Birthday? You kept that one quiet.
0:02:02 > 0:02:05Er, yeah, we're not going to make any fuss, because...
0:02:05 > 0:02:08Knees-up postponed until further notice. Yep, got it.
0:02:08 > 0:02:11Right, looks busy. I'm going to go and get ready.
0:02:12 > 0:02:15Oh, Chrissie, I meant to say - um, about Daniel's tests.
0:02:15 > 0:02:19Paeds are going to call through with the results so I gave them your number as well as mine.
0:02:19 > 0:02:21Right. And how's Rachel?
0:02:22 > 0:02:25She just wanted to talk about my birthday.
0:02:26 > 0:02:29It'll be all right.
0:02:33 > 0:02:38Sacha, the telephone transfer from the ED - a Mrs Nina Armitage.
0:02:38 > 0:02:39Great, thank you.
0:02:50 > 0:02:53Serena, I am dealing with a colossal screw up.
0:02:53 > 0:02:54And good morning to you, too.
0:02:54 > 0:02:57My ex in the States has just dumped my daughter on me a week early
0:02:57 > 0:02:59so she can go play with her boyfriend.
0:02:59 > 0:03:00Do I need this information?
0:03:00 > 0:03:04Well, anyway. Jasmine lands at the airport TODAY at three. I have to pick her up.
0:03:04 > 0:03:07Which would mean you cancelling this afternoon's list?
0:03:07 > 0:03:11- Yes, not an option, I'm afraid. - Come on, she's just flown eight hours across an ocean, her mother
0:03:11 > 0:03:15- and father are divorced...- Look, I have already had to reschedule Malick's list for his leave
0:03:15 > 0:03:18and now you want me to do the same for you - why?
0:03:18 > 0:03:20- Because you haven't organised your life properly?- Whoa!
0:03:20 > 0:03:25Well, I'm sorry, but if you'd let me know earlier, than maybe, but come on.
0:03:30 > 0:03:31Ooh, is this yours?
0:03:31 > 0:03:34- Hey, no, no, no, no, no, no, no! - I was going to say, it's Jonny's.
0:03:34 > 0:03:38- Not any more, it's not. - That is so good.- Chow down any harder, you're going to choke.
0:03:38 > 0:03:42- So will you when I shove it down your throat.- What are you doing here, anyway?
0:03:42 > 0:03:46Transfer from AAU. The guy arrested during rugby training had to be resussed.
0:03:46 > 0:03:47Go on then - off you go.
0:03:50 > 0:03:52Anyone seen Dr Valentine?
0:03:52 > 0:03:53Er, no.
0:04:08 > 0:04:10So, do you want to tell me what happened?
0:04:10 > 0:04:14Just kind of starring in my own silent movie these days.
0:04:14 > 0:04:18- Right.- Can't step outside without getting a plank of wood in the face.
0:04:18 > 0:04:19A plank?
0:04:19 > 0:04:21No, no. Not really - just...
0:04:21 > 0:04:24I was up a ladder in the living room about to start doing some
0:04:24 > 0:04:26decorating, and...timber!
0:04:26 > 0:04:30- Right. And what about this?- Yeah, I thumped me head on the wall on the way down.
0:04:30 > 0:04:33Must've been a nasty fall.
0:04:33 > 0:04:34Oh, this isn't your first time in,
0:04:34 > 0:04:37it says to you were in twice last week. Is that right?
0:04:37 > 0:04:41- Is that sore?- Yeah, just a little bit around my ribs.
0:04:41 > 0:04:45Right. Now, have you any idea why you keep falling?
0:04:45 > 0:04:47Uh, you doctor - me nurse.
0:04:48 > 0:04:52- You're a nurse?- Yeah, paediatrics in Manchester.
0:04:52 > 0:04:54Well, not any more, cos we've just moved but...
0:04:56 > 0:04:58Any existing conditions?
0:04:58 > 0:04:59Nothing on file, no.
0:04:59 > 0:05:02Well, Nurse Armitage, we're going to run some tests
0:05:02 > 0:05:04and we're going to fix you right up.
0:05:04 > 0:05:05OK?
0:05:05 > 0:05:06OK.
0:05:07 > 0:05:08PHONE RINGS
0:05:12 > 0:05:13PHONE RINGS
0:05:19 > 0:05:21Oh, man...what you doing?!
0:05:21 > 0:05:22Dr Valentine?
0:05:26 > 0:05:28What time is it?
0:05:28 > 0:05:30I over-slept. I'm sorry.
0:05:30 > 0:05:31Go home.
0:05:31 > 0:05:32No, it's fine, I'm fine.
0:05:32 > 0:05:34Just go home.
0:05:38 > 0:05:41- Do you know what, I'm happy to just leave it like this.- Come on.
0:05:41 > 0:05:45It's no big deal - you must've seen a dislocated shoulder before.
0:05:45 > 0:05:47A few. Ignorance is bliss. I know what's coming.
0:05:47 > 0:05:49He used to play rugby.
0:05:49 > 0:05:52Dislocated two fingers and a knee, so he's an expert.
0:05:52 > 0:05:54Rubbish at rugby, mind you.
0:05:54 > 0:05:55Do you feel that?
0:05:57 > 0:06:00At least the morphine's working.
0:06:00 > 0:06:02What do you mean, at least?
0:06:02 > 0:06:03Oh, Mr Griffin!
0:06:04 > 0:06:08Oh! Oh, you sneaky...
0:06:08 > 0:06:12See? Done and you barely felt a thing.
0:06:12 > 0:06:14So um...I can go home now, can I?
0:06:14 > 0:06:19Well, actually, this bump is what I'm most concerned about, right here. Anything on the CT?
0:06:19 > 0:06:22ED have already done one... Sorry.
0:06:22 > 0:06:27- Right, I'll chase them up. - OK. Let's make sure you're OK, before we let you go. Yeah?
0:06:27 > 0:06:28PAGER BLEEPS
0:06:30 > 0:06:32Be right back.
0:06:32 > 0:06:35Do you know what? I really need to pick my kids up from school.
0:06:35 > 0:06:37Can't somebody else do that for you?
0:06:37 > 0:06:38Your husband?
0:06:38 > 0:06:40No, we're not...any more.
0:06:41 > 0:06:43Right, is he still around?
0:06:43 > 0:06:46Yeah, he is. I don't want him picking them up, though.
0:06:46 > 0:06:49I don't actually want him anywhere near them - or me.
0:06:49 > 0:06:51PHONE RINGS
0:06:51 > 0:06:54I'm going to give my cousin a ring. Is there a payphone?
0:06:54 > 0:06:55My mobile's out of charge.
0:06:55 > 0:06:57Sorry, I'll get it for you in one minute.
0:06:57 > 0:06:58Hello, Sister Williams?
0:07:01 > 0:07:04No, he's not here at the moment, but you CAN talk to me.
0:07:04 > 0:07:05I'm his wife.
0:07:08 > 0:07:12Are you honestly going to hire one of those to pick up your daughter?
0:07:12 > 0:07:16They're for hen parties really - you know, lots of women's legs hanging out windows.
0:07:16 > 0:07:19- Too cheesy? - She'll think she's a pop star.
0:07:19 > 0:07:22Well, I did get her tickets to Glastonbury already.
0:07:22 > 0:07:23Wow!
0:07:23 > 0:07:25Will she like that? It's very muddy.
0:07:25 > 0:07:28Are you an alien?
0:07:28 > 0:07:29All right, hands up - but,
0:07:29 > 0:07:33she's 13 years old - I have to pick her up. I don't have an option.
0:07:33 > 0:07:37What's got into you lately, Michael? You losing your boyish enthusiasm?
0:07:37 > 0:07:41- Excuse me?- I've just seen your list. All very safe and routine.
0:07:41 > 0:07:45- Trying to keep your mortality figures down?- What does it have to do with my daughter?
0:07:45 > 0:07:49Sebastian Channing - metastatic melanoma with abdominal and liver metastasis.
0:07:49 > 0:07:53You examine him, and I will try to sort you out.
0:07:53 > 0:07:56Grateful, very grateful.
0:07:56 > 0:08:00Do you think if I sit here and shout loud enough my cousin will hear me across town?
0:08:00 > 0:08:03- Excuse me?- The wheelie phone - I did ask the sister for it.
0:08:05 > 0:08:07Oh, yes, sorry, I forgot.
0:08:07 > 0:08:10I'll bring it over as soon as she's finished.
0:08:10 > 0:08:11You OK?
0:08:11 > 0:08:12Mm.
0:08:14 > 0:08:18Right, so how come you've been in here so often recently?
0:08:18 > 0:08:20Just getting me money's worth.
0:08:20 > 0:08:22You and I both know that's not normal.
0:08:22 > 0:08:25- What you getting at?- You said that you and your husband are separated.
0:08:25 > 0:08:28Presumably he still sees the kids. Does he come to the house?
0:08:28 > 0:08:31Yes, sometimes.
0:08:31 > 0:08:33All right, you can tell me this is none of my business but...
0:08:33 > 0:08:35Has this something to do with him?
0:08:35 > 0:08:39You're seriously barking up the wrong tree.
0:08:42 > 0:08:44OK. I'll get the phone.
0:08:44 > 0:08:46I swear I wasn't drinking.
0:08:46 > 0:08:48So if I were to run a tox screen...
0:08:48 > 0:08:51OK, one shot of whisky, about midnight, just to help me sleep.
0:08:51 > 0:08:53I wouldn't be here if I was hammered.
0:08:53 > 0:08:55So how come you were still asleep at 9.30?
0:08:55 > 0:08:57Because I was up half the night.
0:08:57 > 0:09:00- With patients?- No! With me.
0:09:03 > 0:09:08Look, I sympathise, but this isn't doing you any good or the ward.
0:09:08 > 0:09:11- Actually, what are you still doing here? I told you to go home. - I don't want to.
0:09:16 > 0:09:19I'd already decided I was going there tonight. I know I can't keep avoiding this
0:09:19 > 0:09:21but I am on the list to work today.
0:09:24 > 0:09:28All right. Once again the benefit of the doubt goes your way.
0:09:28 > 0:09:32Connor Burns, our arresting rugby player. He's all yours.
0:09:32 > 0:09:34- Thank you. - I must be soft in the head.
0:09:42 > 0:09:45You said you moved from Manchester?
0:09:45 > 0:09:46- Yeah.- Recently?
0:09:46 > 0:09:48Couple of weeks ago.
0:09:48 > 0:09:50That'll explain why I haven't got all your notes.
0:09:50 > 0:09:52I'll get them to chase them up for me.
0:09:54 > 0:09:57Don't worry, it's Helen. It's fine.
0:09:57 > 0:10:00- Sacha...- Oh! I said no fuss.
0:10:01 > 0:10:05- Oh, well, they're hardly going to believe that, are they, coming from you?- OK, come on.
0:10:08 > 0:10:11Surprise!
0:10:11 > 0:10:15# Happy Birthday to you Happy Birthday to you
0:10:15 > 0:10:20# Happy Birthday, dear Sacha Happy Birthday to you. #
0:10:22 > 0:10:25CHEERING
0:10:25 > 0:10:27Well, not exactly a champagne breakfast.
0:10:27 > 0:10:29But you got to have a little celebrate, whatever.
0:10:29 > 0:10:31Actually, it's a big celebration.
0:10:31 > 0:10:35I've just got off the phone to paediatrics - Daniel's a definite match.
0:10:37 > 0:10:38Oh, my God!
0:10:40 > 0:10:41That's brilliant.
0:10:46 > 0:10:48You look a little dehydrated.
0:10:48 > 0:10:51Yeah, I keep pouring water down me but I'm like a sieve.
0:10:51 > 0:10:53Well, the IV fluids will take care of that.
0:10:53 > 0:10:59- So when did the pain come on?- Um, been grumbling for a few days but bad last night.
0:10:59 > 0:11:00Can I?
0:11:02 > 0:11:04Ooh, sore?
0:11:04 > 0:11:06Don't worry, Mr Spence will sort it out.
0:11:06 > 0:11:09Let's give him ten milligrams of morphine, please.
0:11:09 > 0:11:11Soon as that kicks in, you'll feel a bit better.
0:11:13 > 0:11:16Oh, and your ex-wife called.
0:11:16 > 0:11:19Just wants confirmation the package has been delivered.
0:11:19 > 0:11:21A riddle! I like riddles.
0:11:23 > 0:11:25Package - meaning...?
0:11:25 > 0:11:28- My daughter's coming from the States. - What, to here?
0:11:28 > 0:11:29Yeah, but she is 13 years old, man,
0:11:29 > 0:11:32so you can get that glint out of your eye.
0:11:32 > 0:11:36"In Sicily, women are more dangerous than shotguns."
0:11:36 > 0:11:38The Godfather, right?
0:11:38 > 0:11:40So where're your folks?
0:11:40 > 0:11:41Um...
0:11:41 > 0:11:45my dad's on his way from work and Mum should be here too,
0:11:45 > 0:11:46at some point.
0:11:48 > 0:11:49OK. Be right back.
0:11:52 > 0:11:54- Didn't get carpeted then?- Huh?
0:11:54 > 0:11:56For sleeping on the job.
0:11:56 > 0:11:59- Bit of ground to make up. Should be OK.- Lucky boy.
0:12:01 > 0:12:04- Dr Valentine.- Connor Burns.
0:12:04 > 0:12:06You going to tell me what happened?
0:12:06 > 0:12:07You cool with this?
0:12:07 > 0:12:10- Yeah, man whatever.- So?
0:12:10 > 0:12:14Went morning training, still pretty jet-lagged, just got back from Australia, actually.
0:12:14 > 0:12:16- Australia? Whereabouts?- Queensland.
0:12:16 > 0:12:18- You professional?- Hoping to be.
0:12:18 > 0:12:21Need to bulk up a wee bit first. I've got the skill, you know.
0:12:21 > 0:12:24They were talking about a contract out there, actually.
0:12:24 > 0:12:25And this morning?
0:12:25 > 0:12:29Uh, yeah, I was just hit pretty hard.
0:12:29 > 0:12:31Dinesh, this big Fijian prop,
0:12:31 > 0:12:37built like a tank, man, he just hit me and that was that.
0:12:37 > 0:12:39- Do you think it's my heart, eh? - We'll see.
0:12:39 > 0:12:41Aw, listen, mate, no way!
0:12:41 > 0:12:46I'm a fit guy - you can bounce ping-pong balls off these.
0:12:46 > 0:12:49Well, I'll run an ECG and I'll let you know.
0:12:49 > 0:12:51PHONE RINGS
0:12:51 > 0:12:55It's Helen. Every time Rachel coughs or sneezes, I get a text!
0:12:55 > 0:12:57Well, she is her mother.
0:12:57 > 0:12:59Yes and...
0:12:59 > 0:13:01I'm a grumpy old sod.
0:13:02 > 0:13:04Have you told them the news?
0:13:04 > 0:13:06No, cos I've got to sort this first.
0:13:07 > 0:13:11Chrissie, you have to be OK with Daniel doing this.
0:13:11 > 0:13:13Yeah, I AM OK with it.
0:13:13 > 0:13:14Mrs Reece?
0:13:14 > 0:13:16X-ray.
0:13:16 > 0:13:18Thank you. Sorry.
0:13:21 > 0:13:23Nina, where are you going?
0:13:25 > 0:13:28- Nurse said I can go.- Which nurse?
0:13:28 > 0:13:29I don't know, she didn't say her name.
0:13:29 > 0:13:32- But your CT... - You know what, to hell with the CT.
0:13:32 > 0:13:36I don't want to be in here like a sitting duck.
0:13:36 > 0:13:38Look, I've got a massively important day coming up
0:13:38 > 0:13:43and I just need to be making things right for my kids, so if you'll excuse me.
0:13:43 > 0:13:45Nina, can you just stop a second?
0:13:45 > 0:13:48- What?- Hold your head still.
0:13:48 > 0:13:49What?
0:13:51 > 0:13:55This is bleeding out. You're going nowhere. Can you get Ric, please? Thank you.
0:13:55 > 0:13:57Come on. Come on.
0:13:58 > 0:14:00I've put Seb on hourly obs.
0:14:00 > 0:14:01And his abdomen?
0:14:01 > 0:14:04Probably another mass - the cancer's metastasised further.
0:14:04 > 0:14:08OK, palliative care only, then. We'll get him stable, then transfer him over to St James's.
0:14:08 > 0:14:11I know he doesn't have long but palliative only? You don't think we should try and help?
0:14:11 > 0:14:16- Nothing invasive - he's too weak. - Yeah, I'm talking ultrasound. Just to see what's going on in there.
0:14:16 > 0:14:19OK, your call. Oh, and I have managed to rejig your list.
0:14:19 > 0:14:21You get the afternoon - that do you?
0:14:21 > 0:14:25- Yeah, that's great. Thank you. - Welcome.
0:14:25 > 0:14:26Great news about Daniel.
0:14:28 > 0:14:31He'll be OK. The procedure's pretty straightforward.
0:14:31 > 0:14:33I'm sorry?
0:14:33 > 0:14:34Harvesting the bone marrow.
0:14:34 > 0:14:36He's three years old!
0:14:40 > 0:14:41Hi, can I help?
0:14:41 > 0:14:44Dunno, love, can you?
0:14:44 > 0:14:47I've just been told my wife's in here. Nina Armitage.
0:14:51 > 0:14:53Second sloop, please.
0:14:53 > 0:14:55I hope I wasn't interrupting back there.
0:14:57 > 0:14:59No, no. Not at all.
0:15:00 > 0:15:01Which means I was.
0:15:03 > 0:15:05Chrissie's...
0:15:07 > 0:15:09It's just now's not the time for indecision.
0:15:09 > 0:15:15Rachel needs a transplant right away - chemo's doing nothing.
0:15:15 > 0:15:17Ties, please.
0:15:17 > 0:15:19Understandable, though. Only child.
0:15:19 > 0:15:22Natural that she's going to be concerned.
0:15:22 > 0:15:23Tying off.
0:15:26 > 0:15:28Could be just a matter of letting the dust settle.
0:15:28 > 0:15:32Not trying to force the issue.
0:15:32 > 0:15:38Well, dust settling takes time - and time is the one thing we don't have.
0:15:41 > 0:15:44Right, Seb. Some news - we're going to...
0:15:44 > 0:15:46Before you get into it...
0:15:46 > 0:15:49uh, you and I both know this is a one-way street,
0:15:49 > 0:15:53so just, don't promise any miracles.
0:15:53 > 0:15:57OK, I will give you your options, you can call the shots,
0:15:57 > 0:16:00you tell me how you want to play it.
0:16:00 > 0:16:02I've had this long enough to make friends with it
0:16:02 > 0:16:06but one thing scares me - pain.
0:16:06 > 0:16:08That we can help you with.
0:16:08 > 0:16:11But first we need to figure out what's going on in there.
0:16:11 > 0:16:12Hi.
0:16:14 > 0:16:17Here we are again then, eh?
0:16:17 > 0:16:19This is my dad, Kevin.
0:16:19 > 0:16:22Yeah. I'm Michael Spence, Seb's consultant.
0:16:23 > 0:16:25How you doing?
0:16:25 > 0:16:26Good.
0:16:28 > 0:16:32You want to bring me up to speed, then, on this latest chapter?
0:16:32 > 0:16:33Uh, yeah. Sure.
0:16:42 > 0:16:45Nina's likely to be unconscious for some time.
0:16:45 > 0:16:47I can wait. Were a bad fall, were it?
0:16:47 > 0:16:48You don't know?
0:16:48 > 0:16:50No. Only what I've been told.
0:16:51 > 0:16:54She won't want you here.
0:16:54 > 0:16:57- Why not? - I think you know the answer to that.
0:16:57 > 0:16:58No.
0:16:59 > 0:17:03OK, there's some concern over the cause of her injuries.
0:17:03 > 0:17:07What do you mean? Are you saying I had something to do with it?
0:17:07 > 0:17:11I'm saying that Nina would be happier if you left her here, under our care.
0:17:11 > 0:17:13So the next time I see her is going to be in court, is it?
0:17:13 > 0:17:16And that goes for the kids too, presumably.
0:17:16 > 0:17:18Oh, she hadn't told you that, then? Custody hearing.
0:17:18 > 0:17:22That's why I'm here. Worried about her and TRYING to keep things civil.
0:17:24 > 0:17:28- I'm sorry.- Are you? Well, thanks a lot for your help.
0:17:28 > 0:17:29I think I'll wait around.
0:17:35 > 0:17:39So that confirms the cardiac arrest. Did you order a CT?
0:17:39 > 0:17:43Yep. I'm on top of it - I just wanted to keep you in the loop.
0:17:43 > 0:17:44There are a couple of things.
0:17:44 > 0:17:47Firstly there's trauma - he got tackled hard before he collapsed.
0:17:47 > 0:17:49But also...he's just got back from Queensland.
0:17:49 > 0:17:51I wondered, maybe he picked something up.
0:17:51 > 0:17:53What like, a dose?
0:17:53 > 0:17:55I was thinking more a tropical disease.
0:17:55 > 0:17:59Exotic. Ah, pelvic X-ray - should've been in with the rest of his stuff.
0:17:59 > 0:18:02Right, thank you. Nothing obvious there?
0:18:02 > 0:18:05No, it's not exactly classic cardiac arrest material, is it?
0:18:05 > 0:18:08Neither was that Bolton player, erm...
0:18:08 > 0:18:09Muamba.
0:18:09 > 0:18:11PHONE RINGS
0:18:11 > 0:18:14- Darwin. - I wanted to mention the lymph nodes. I want to rule out lymphoma.
0:18:14 > 0:18:16- Right, have you got his blood count? - I'm on it.
0:18:16 > 0:18:18It's for you. A Mr Lo.
0:18:20 > 0:18:23Tell him I'll call him back.
0:18:23 > 0:18:26Which reminds me, I'll be driving past Tara's this evening
0:18:26 > 0:18:27if you'd like a lift.
0:18:28 > 0:18:30Sure. Thank you.
0:18:30 > 0:18:33Good. Right, let's contact Keller, shall we? Get a biopsy done.
0:18:33 > 0:18:36- He says he'll wait. - I said I'd call him back.
0:18:39 > 0:18:44- All good?- Yeah, yeah. Routine. - You know why she's been wanting to get out of here, don't you?
0:18:44 > 0:18:46To get away from her ex. He's just turned up.
0:18:46 > 0:18:48Oh, right.
0:18:48 > 0:18:50Domestic violence, I'm sure of it.
0:18:50 > 0:18:54You don't think you're kind of jumping to conclusions there?
0:18:54 > 0:18:56No - I think the police should be called.
0:18:56 > 0:18:58It's up to her to report him to the police,
0:18:58 > 0:19:00I don't think it's any of your business.
0:19:00 > 0:19:02Wow, that's a bit harsh.
0:19:02 > 0:19:06It's cos I'm having to learn to be harsh today, aren't I?
0:19:08 > 0:19:13Chrissie, I saw your face when you told me about Daniel.
0:19:13 > 0:19:16Now, we both have to sign this consent form. You have to be happy about this.
0:19:16 > 0:19:19What are you asking me? Am I happy that I'm putting my child at risk?
0:19:19 > 0:19:23- But that's not what's happening here.- Well, there is a risk.
0:19:23 > 0:19:25- It is minuscule. - It doesn't matter how small.
0:19:25 > 0:19:27There is a risk - and he's my son.
0:19:29 > 0:19:32We have to talk about this, you know. We can't just pretend.
0:19:32 > 0:19:36OK. Am I happy? No, I'm not.
0:19:37 > 0:19:40There. That's what's causing the trouble.
0:19:40 > 0:19:42Another tumour, right?
0:19:42 > 0:19:44Going to call this one "Fin".
0:19:44 > 0:19:46As in Jaws?
0:19:46 > 0:19:49As in what they put on the end of French films.
0:19:49 > 0:19:52We were told that Seb had maybe a couple of months
0:19:52 > 0:19:54but this changes things, right?
0:19:54 > 0:19:55Well, it is difficult to...
0:19:55 > 0:19:59Yeah, I get that but come on, what we talking? Days? Weeks?
0:20:01 > 0:20:05Er, you are going to need to be heavily sedated for the pain
0:20:05 > 0:20:07within a day or two, so...
0:20:07 > 0:20:09I would strongly consider getting your mother here.
0:20:09 > 0:20:12OK. That's not going to be easy.
0:20:12 > 0:20:15She's working away on business in Uganda.
0:20:16 > 0:20:18We didn't know - we thought there was time.
0:20:21 > 0:20:23Do you want me to call her?
0:20:27 > 0:20:29Yeah, call her.
0:20:31 > 0:20:32Right.
0:20:36 > 0:20:37Pretty weird bunch, huh?
0:20:42 > 0:20:44You haven't seen my stethoscope, have you?
0:20:46 > 0:20:48- How's it going? - Mr Burns? It's in hand.
0:20:48 > 0:20:51Proving to be something of a medical mystery.
0:20:51 > 0:20:53Dr Valentine's playing Sherlock.
0:20:54 > 0:20:57If you need a Dr Watson, I'd be delighted.
0:20:57 > 0:20:58I'm fine, thank you.
0:20:58 > 0:21:01Good idea. Why not?
0:21:01 > 0:21:03I'll see if Mr Griffin can spare you.
0:21:18 > 0:21:23Do you honestly think I would do this if I thought it could harm him?
0:21:23 > 0:21:25Do you honestly think that?
0:21:28 > 0:21:30I don't know.
0:21:30 > 0:21:33I don't know what to think any more.
0:21:36 > 0:21:37He's my son, too.
0:21:41 > 0:21:45I just don't get this. I'm a very fit guy.
0:21:45 > 0:21:47You don't look like this by sitting on your dingers.
0:21:47 > 0:21:50I do 50 chin-ups and 100 press-ups before breakfast...
0:21:50 > 0:21:54But if you've got something that's not working properly, it can cause major problems.
0:21:54 > 0:21:56Just stay cool, yeah - don't panic, we'll sort it.
0:21:56 > 0:21:59I'll be right back. Anything you need, OK?
0:21:59 > 0:22:01Sorry, you are OK with me sticking my oar in, aren't you?
0:22:01 > 0:22:04Harry, mate, look, it's not personal.
0:22:04 > 0:22:07I've got a lot of ground to cover with Professor Hope, you know...
0:22:07 > 0:22:11Oh, right, OK - so you don't want me stepping on your toes.
0:22:11 > 0:22:13I'll just purr along in the background.
0:22:13 > 0:22:17I'm not going to take any credit or anything but...
0:22:17 > 0:22:20- you don't want to hear it? - No, no, no, please...- OK. Well, when he said Queensland
0:22:20 > 0:22:23it reminded me of this tropical diseases paper...
0:22:23 > 0:22:27- Er, I said tropical disease. - Did you? OK, well there's something called leishmaniasis
0:22:27 > 0:22:29and it can get right into the heart valves.
0:22:32 > 0:22:34I think she'd go for the pink, do you?
0:22:34 > 0:22:37Buses run from the airport to here on the hour every hour.
0:22:40 > 0:22:43Or he could spend a small fortune and burn enough carbon to
0:22:43 > 0:22:47wreck Micronesia in one simple airport trip. I dunno, which one should I choose?
0:22:47 > 0:22:49Are you in theatre with Mr Spence today?
0:22:49 > 0:22:51No, not today. No amateurs on the flight deck.
0:22:51 > 0:22:56Got to keep those mortality rates down. Limos and league tables - it's all about the presentation.
0:22:56 > 0:22:58Yeah, that's right, Digby.
0:23:01 > 0:23:05Serena, Seb Channing - there's a tumour on the small bowel mesentery.
0:23:05 > 0:23:06We could remove it.
0:23:06 > 0:23:08- We?- OK, you.
0:23:08 > 0:23:11Ah. Bit too risky for you?
0:23:11 > 0:23:15Look, his mother's on the other side of the world - if we do nothing, he'll die before she gets back.
0:23:15 > 0:23:18- And if we operate, he could die in theatre.- Your call.
0:23:25 > 0:23:27Hey. How you doing?
0:23:29 > 0:23:31It went well. No problems. And your cousin called.
0:23:31 > 0:23:34She's going to pick the kids up for you.
0:23:34 > 0:23:35And your ex was here.
0:23:37 > 0:23:38Ryan?
0:23:38 > 0:23:40He's gone now.
0:23:40 > 0:23:42But when you're feeling better,
0:23:42 > 0:23:44you've got to do something about this.
0:23:44 > 0:23:48There's no way a man should treat you like this and get away with it.
0:23:50 > 0:23:53Chrissie, can I have a word, please?
0:24:01 > 0:24:03You're wrong.
0:24:03 > 0:24:04About what?
0:24:05 > 0:24:07About Ryan, I just spoke to him.
0:24:10 > 0:24:12- No.- Come on, come on.
0:24:16 > 0:24:19Can you tell Sister Williams what you just told me, please?
0:24:19 > 0:24:23Sure. I don't know where you got this stuff from - from her...?
0:24:23 > 0:24:27- No.- But I've been in Newcastle working these last two weeks.
0:24:27 > 0:24:31Now, if she's been in the hospital in that time, it's not because of me.
0:24:31 > 0:24:33I mean, it's the first I've heard of it.
0:24:34 > 0:24:38- OK.- You don't believe me?
0:24:38 > 0:24:42My boss, OK? Press dial. He'll tell you.
0:24:42 > 0:24:43Not that he should have to.
0:24:43 > 0:24:46It's all right. It's fine. Obviously.
0:24:46 > 0:24:50Look, there's a cafe in the entrance.
0:24:50 > 0:24:53If she wants to talk to you, I'll call you, OK?
0:24:57 > 0:24:59I've messed up again, haven't I?
0:24:59 > 0:25:01A little touch, here and there, maybe.
0:25:01 > 0:25:03All right, let's go and speak to Sharon.
0:25:03 > 0:25:06- She's a family counsellor, that's what she's there for.- Chrissie,
0:25:06 > 0:25:09we haven't got a lot of time here.
0:25:09 > 0:25:12I mean, without his bone marrow, Rachel's going to die, no question.
0:25:12 > 0:25:16- I know.- OK. Now, he's in the creche. Let's just get him to paeds
0:25:16 > 0:25:20just for a few pre-op tests - just to get the ball rolling.
0:25:20 > 0:25:21Please?
0:25:23 > 0:25:24Come here. Come here.
0:25:29 > 0:25:30Here we go - leishmaniasis.
0:25:30 > 0:25:34"Causes early-stage ulceration on the skin."
0:25:34 > 0:25:36- He got any of that?- No.
0:25:36 > 0:25:38- You've checked? - Course I've checked.
0:25:38 > 0:25:42Plus it's rare in Australia - only affects remote populations of kangaroos.
0:25:42 > 0:25:43Is the guy at all jumpy?
0:25:43 > 0:25:45Shouldn't you be on AAU?
0:25:45 > 0:25:47Good news, I've spoken to Mr Griffin.
0:25:47 > 0:25:50He says he can spare you for a little longer.
0:25:50 > 0:25:51I bet he can.
0:25:56 > 0:25:58- You OK? - I've got a bit of pain in my chest.
0:25:58 > 0:26:02- I'm just panicking a bit. - It's OK. I'll have a listen.
0:26:02 > 0:26:03HE BELCHES
0:26:04 > 0:26:08- False alarm, huh? Nothing to worry about. - Actually, it's not your call.
0:26:08 > 0:26:11Let's book him in for an MRI scan as soon as possible, yeah?
0:26:13 > 0:26:18You're a geeky kind of guy, right? Do you know about reincarnation?
0:26:18 > 0:26:20Er...it's a common belief...
0:26:20 > 0:26:24Yeah, yeah, yeah, but like if YOU could come back as anything,
0:26:24 > 0:26:25what would it be?
0:26:25 > 0:26:27I mean, apart from Beyonce's bra strap.
0:26:30 > 0:26:34No, you're more of a Taylor Swift kind of guy.
0:26:34 > 0:26:37Yeah, man - you got that blonde thing going on!
0:26:37 > 0:26:40All right, Digby. Thank you.
0:26:40 > 0:26:44Seb, this is Ms Campbell, she's...my boss.
0:26:44 > 0:26:45Morning.
0:26:45 > 0:26:51- Morning, Boss.- Now, we've been discussing the possibility of removing your tumour.
0:26:51 > 0:26:54- OK.- It wouldn't be a cure, of course, you understand that?
0:26:54 > 0:26:58- Course. - But it might buy you some time.
0:26:58 > 0:27:01But - until you are actually in theatre, Ms Campbell won't
0:27:01 > 0:27:04know the full extent of the problem.
0:27:04 > 0:27:08And we do have to consider your chances of surviving the operation.
0:27:09 > 0:27:12OK. So, you don't know what's going on in there
0:27:12 > 0:27:14and the operation could kill me.
0:27:15 > 0:27:16Nice.
0:27:18 > 0:27:20By "some time", you mean...?
0:27:20 > 0:27:22Oh, I can't answer that precisely
0:27:22 > 0:27:25but you might be able to see your mother.
0:27:25 > 0:27:29Yeah, I finally got through. She's trying to get a flight.
0:27:29 > 0:27:30Right.
0:27:30 > 0:27:34OK, you need to talk this through. Both of you, together.
0:27:34 > 0:27:36It's a massive decision.
0:27:38 > 0:27:39Sure.
0:27:45 > 0:27:47I spoke to your ex.
0:27:47 > 0:27:50And it seems that domestic problems aren't at the root of all this.
0:27:50 > 0:27:56- I never said that they were. - OK. So, what is then?
0:27:56 > 0:28:01Presumably, these trips to the ED have all followed similar blackouts?
0:28:03 > 0:28:05You didn't think it worth investigating?
0:28:07 > 0:28:09Nina?
0:28:09 > 0:28:10I said I didn't want you here.
0:28:10 > 0:28:13- It's just so I can tell the kids... - What?- That you're OK.
0:28:13 > 0:28:15They're worried about - you know, the court case coming up and...
0:28:15 > 0:28:19- Yeah, well, don't do it then. Don't go there.- OK. Fine. Don't stop me seeing them and I won't.
0:28:19 > 0:28:23- Ryan...- Will you just go, Ryan - will you just GO?!
0:28:23 > 0:28:26Another time, Ryan, please. Please, thank you.
0:28:26 > 0:28:28Oh, my eyes... they're really sensitive...
0:28:28 > 0:28:31Keep your head forward. No, no, no. It's fine. Just breathe.
0:28:31 > 0:28:33- Just breathe. - I'm hurting everywhere.
0:28:33 > 0:28:34OK, OK.
0:28:36 > 0:28:38- I'm OK.- That's it, come up.
0:28:38 > 0:28:41I'm OK. I'm OK.
0:28:45 > 0:28:47I'm going to get you an MRI.
0:28:47 > 0:28:49Just to see if anything's going on.
0:29:02 > 0:29:04Connor Burns' MRI results.
0:29:05 > 0:29:10Ah! Mitral and tricuspid regurgitation. There. Agreed?
0:29:10 > 0:29:11Absolutely. But why?
0:29:13 > 0:29:16- Dental work! Dirty dentist. - No, I checked.
0:29:16 > 0:29:21OK, so...he... kissed a pig's head for a dare.
0:29:21 > 0:29:22What?
0:29:22 > 0:29:25It's the kind of thing rugby players do, isn't it?
0:29:25 > 0:29:27- You coming?- Where?
0:29:27 > 0:29:30See a man about a dog.
0:29:32 > 0:29:35OK, hands up, I am struggling to diagnose this.
0:29:37 > 0:29:41So, have you noticed anything, any difference in her lately?
0:29:41 > 0:29:42No.
0:29:43 > 0:29:48She's not like she used to be. Not at all.
0:29:50 > 0:29:52In what way?
0:29:52 > 0:29:54Paranoid - massively.
0:29:55 > 0:29:58She's totally convinced I'm going to take the kids off her.
0:29:58 > 0:30:00Well, you are taking her to court.
0:30:00 > 0:30:02It's not my doing. She's stopped me seeing them.
0:30:04 > 0:30:09So she's... her personality's changed?
0:30:09 > 0:30:11Yeah, I suppose.
0:30:13 > 0:30:16She used to be really...
0:30:16 > 0:30:20steady, you know, never got upset...
0:30:22 > 0:30:23PHONE RINGS
0:30:23 > 0:30:25Sorry, excuse me.
0:30:27 > 0:30:30Sorry, I've got to take this.
0:30:30 > 0:30:32Hello? Yep, speaking.
0:30:35 > 0:30:37OK, I'm on my way.
0:30:39 > 0:30:41I'm sorry, I've got to go.
0:30:45 > 0:30:47So you know - the limo's booked.
0:30:47 > 0:30:49Pink with a karaoke machine.
0:30:51 > 0:30:54- Perfect. - Sorry, you're probably busy.
0:30:54 > 0:30:56Er, no - it's OK. What can I do for you?
0:30:56 > 0:30:59Seb's going for the operation. He wants to see his mum.
0:31:00 > 0:31:02OK.
0:31:02 > 0:31:04The only thing is, he wants you to do it.
0:31:05 > 0:31:08Well, Ms Campbell's perfectly capable.
0:31:08 > 0:31:09I said I'd ask.
0:31:23 > 0:31:27Serena, Seb Channing is going for the operation
0:31:27 > 0:31:31and I'd like to lead, if that's OK with you.
0:31:31 > 0:31:34Oh...right.
0:31:34 > 0:31:35And Jasmine?
0:31:35 > 0:31:37If we get him in soon, I'll finish on time.
0:31:42 > 0:31:43OK, Connor.
0:31:43 > 0:31:46Now there's something called leishmaniasis,
0:31:46 > 0:31:48but we don't think it's that.
0:31:48 > 0:31:51- Is that good? - Yeah, that's very good.
0:31:51 > 0:31:55OK, tell us again, you went bungee jumping, white water rafting...
0:31:55 > 0:32:00Oh, yeah, man! That was awesome - we found a dingo floating in a river
0:32:00 > 0:32:02and coach tried to fish it out with a paddle...
0:32:02 > 0:32:04Can we please just stick to the medical?
0:32:04 > 0:32:07We got lost. There were leeches everywhere.
0:32:07 > 0:32:10- Now we're cooking. Leeches! - Why are you writing that down?
0:32:10 > 0:32:14We made our way back that night, right, the coach - he is whacked out,
0:32:14 > 0:32:17so me, Dinny and a couple of the boys, we let slip to a couple
0:32:17 > 0:32:19of boozers and before we know it we're ten down,
0:32:19 > 0:32:24and I mean, look at the size of me - I am steaming!
0:32:24 > 0:32:25And we end up in the Nanung Parlour!
0:32:25 > 0:32:27The Nanung Parlour.
0:32:27 > 0:32:31- Right, this is getting us nowhere. Thank you.- What? Hang...
0:32:31 > 0:32:34Seb, I just want to check with you again -
0:32:34 > 0:32:36you're aware of the stakes, right?
0:32:36 > 0:32:39You're the guy.
0:32:39 > 0:32:44Anyway, whatever happens, I absolve you, my son.
0:32:44 > 0:32:46All will be well.
0:32:56 > 0:32:57Just a second.
0:33:11 > 0:33:12It'll be OK.
0:33:25 > 0:33:27It's a PFO. A hole in the heart.
0:33:28 > 0:33:30You didn't know he had this?
0:33:31 > 0:33:32Just been told.
0:33:34 > 0:33:37So what are they saying about Daniel being a donor?
0:33:38 > 0:33:44Well, we can still go ahead, but we need a second opinion.
0:33:44 > 0:33:47Me? I'm obviously not paeds trained.
0:33:47 > 0:33:49Yeah, but you're still cardio.
0:33:52 > 0:33:53OK.
0:33:53 > 0:33:57Well, with a PFO under general, there's a risk of an embolism.
0:33:57 > 0:33:59It's a tiny risk but...it's there.
0:34:02 > 0:34:04What's Chrissie saying?
0:34:04 > 0:34:08I haven't told her yet. I came straight here.
0:34:08 > 0:34:11She's already in two minds - when she finds out about this
0:34:11 > 0:34:14she'll just pull the plug on the whole thing.
0:34:14 > 0:34:16Even so, you have to tell her.
0:34:19 > 0:34:20Sacha?
0:34:24 > 0:34:25Yeah.
0:34:25 > 0:34:30Reminds me of white water rafting in Tibet - I was thinking
0:34:30 > 0:34:33the Tuo Tuo River, but Jonno knew the Dam Qu had it beat.
0:34:38 > 0:34:39Oops.
0:34:42 > 0:34:46- I'll have those.- We are actually trying to work in here. Trying to figure out a diagnosis.
0:34:46 > 0:34:48Well, I am anyway.
0:34:48 > 0:34:50I was just trying to see which theory flew the furthest.
0:34:50 > 0:34:53And an interesting set of theories it is, too.
0:34:53 > 0:34:54Blame Columbo here.
0:34:54 > 0:34:58The Nanung Parlour? What is it?
0:35:00 > 0:35:03Well?
0:35:05 > 0:35:06Thank you.
0:35:10 > 0:35:13- Can you see it? - Yeah, it's not great.
0:35:13 > 0:35:16It's wrapped around the superior mesenteric artery. Dammit!
0:35:16 > 0:35:19Well, what do you want to do? It's irresectible.
0:35:19 > 0:35:23No, it's just going to take a little longer. Dissecting scissors, please?
0:35:23 > 0:35:25PHONE RINGS Will someone get that?
0:35:29 > 0:35:32- Hello, surgery.- 'It's Mr Griffin, Mr Spence, please.'
0:35:34 > 0:35:35Mr Griffin.
0:35:35 > 0:35:37Yeah, Ric, what is it? I'm busy.
0:35:37 > 0:35:41- 'Jas has called me. She's arrived early.'- What? You're kidding me. - 'No, I'm not.'
0:35:41 > 0:35:44Great. Uh, all right - tell her to wait by information...
0:35:44 > 0:35:49- 'No, you need to go and pick her up.'- No, Ric, listen. I'm in theatre right now, I can't.
0:35:49 > 0:35:51OK? Just tell her to wait. Thank you.
0:35:52 > 0:35:56- Jasmine arrived? - Yeah, plane's early.
0:35:56 > 0:35:59Oh, dear.
0:35:59 > 0:36:03Everyone else had a nipple done, but Dinny paid off the owner to ink me.
0:36:03 > 0:36:04It's not a bad job, actually.
0:36:04 > 0:36:07And the owner doesn't usually ink people?
0:36:07 > 0:36:12No, it's a piercing place. Nanung - it means the bone thing that they do. You know, through the nose.
0:36:12 > 0:36:17- But you got inked anyway. - Yeah, but this isn't what's made me have a heart attack, is it?
0:36:17 > 0:36:19Well, we need to run some more tests but yes.
0:36:19 > 0:36:22You've got an infection - it's got into your bloodstream and into the heart valves.
0:36:22 > 0:36:24How bad is it?
0:36:24 > 0:36:26Not as bad as it could be.
0:36:26 > 0:36:28So I'm going to be OK?
0:36:28 > 0:36:30Now that we know what it is, yeah.
0:36:34 > 0:36:36Scalpel...
0:36:36 > 0:36:37Suction?
0:36:43 > 0:36:44Argh, we have a bleed.
0:36:49 > 0:36:51Yep, got it. Got it.
0:36:51 > 0:36:53You're out of practice. Do you want me to take over?
0:36:53 > 0:36:54No, 3-0 Vicryl.
0:36:59 > 0:37:02Come on, man, hang in there.
0:37:02 > 0:37:03He's doing OK.
0:37:03 > 0:37:04Scissors?
0:37:08 > 0:37:10Nice job.
0:37:10 > 0:37:12Really? We're just back at square one.
0:37:12 > 0:37:15Listen, we all want to help this young man but if we carry on
0:37:15 > 0:37:19like this, we're going to end up with no blood supply to the bowel.
0:37:19 > 0:37:24- So?- So a bypass would make him more comfortable.
0:37:24 > 0:37:25No, that wasn't the intention.
0:37:25 > 0:37:28- It's what we can achieve. - Well, it's pretty much nothing.
0:37:28 > 0:37:30Michael, face the facts.
0:37:30 > 0:37:33You know as well as I do, it is inoperable.
0:38:01 > 0:38:05Listen, mate, I was going to say there's a party tonight at the nurses' house.
0:38:05 > 0:38:09I know you're probably into being on your own right now and stuff, so no pressure.
0:38:09 > 0:38:11No, that sounds great.
0:38:13 > 0:38:17Any other night but tonight. I've got other plans.
0:38:22 > 0:38:24There you go, mate. Here's my number.
0:38:24 > 0:38:27- If you change your mind, give me a call, yeah?- Cheers.
0:38:29 > 0:38:31- Well done with Connor.- Thanks.
0:38:32 > 0:38:35I'll be finished at five. See you down in the car park.
0:38:59 > 0:39:03It's great that you've started to talk to each other,
0:39:03 > 0:39:05but don't be too hard on yourselves.
0:39:05 > 0:39:08This situation would present a challenge to any family.
0:39:12 > 0:39:13Yeah. Um...
0:39:15 > 0:39:20Maybe we need to slow things up a little.
0:39:20 > 0:39:23Maybe I've been rushing things.
0:39:23 > 0:39:24No, you're right.
0:39:26 > 0:39:28We don't have time for that.
0:39:31 > 0:39:35Maybe if you could explain really clearly
0:39:35 > 0:39:38exactly what it is that you're frightened of?
0:39:39 > 0:39:42That he'll die.
0:39:45 > 0:39:48Chrissie, I need to tell you something.
0:39:49 > 0:39:52What I need from you is...
0:39:52 > 0:39:57just to focus on Daniel - and me, just a little bit.
0:40:00 > 0:40:04I know that sounds really selfish,
0:40:04 > 0:40:08and I know my maternal instincts are holding everyone else hostage...
0:40:10 > 0:40:16..but you have been so wrapped up with all of this, understandably...
0:40:18 > 0:40:21..but I know what it's like to lose a child.
0:40:22 > 0:40:25I've told you this - you know all of this.
0:40:27 > 0:40:28What happened?
0:40:31 > 0:40:33It was a long time ago.
0:40:35 > 0:40:37But it's important.
0:40:43 > 0:40:46I had a daughter.
0:40:49 > 0:40:51She had brain damage.
0:40:55 > 0:40:57And she died.
0:41:00 > 0:41:02And I do not want to go through that again.
0:41:04 > 0:41:08Chrissie, I'm so sorry.
0:41:15 > 0:41:16OK.
0:41:18 > 0:41:21Sacha, you said you had something you wanted to tell Chrissie?
0:41:33 > 0:41:34No.
0:41:36 > 0:41:38It's fine. It doesn't matter.
0:41:45 > 0:41:47Mr Channing.
0:41:49 > 0:41:51Seb is OK.
0:41:54 > 0:41:56And the tumour?
0:41:58 > 0:42:03Well, we did everything we could but the tumour is inoperable.
0:42:10 > 0:42:12Have you told him?
0:42:12 > 0:42:15No, he hasn't woken yet.
0:42:16 > 0:42:18I am sorry.
0:42:18 > 0:42:20Yeah, I bet you are.
0:42:20 > 0:42:25Should've just accepted things as they were, shouldn't we?
0:42:25 > 0:42:30- We were trying to give him the best chance possible.- And in doing so, you raised his hopes.
0:42:30 > 0:42:33He was ready, his head was right.
0:42:33 > 0:42:37- Mr Channing.- No, you promised...
0:42:37 > 0:42:40- If you remember... - And you've let him down.
0:42:40 > 0:42:42It was all talk, wasn't it?
0:42:42 > 0:42:47When it actually comes to doing something it's, "Oh, we tried our best."
0:42:47 > 0:42:50Well, your best isn't good enough
0:42:50 > 0:42:56because now we're going to have to stand and watch my son in pain.
0:42:56 > 0:42:59Even you.
0:42:59 > 0:43:01Especially you.
0:43:07 > 0:43:10'Lift going down. Doors closing.'
0:43:21 > 0:43:24This is what happens when you leave the child to pack luggage.
0:43:24 > 0:43:26No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
0:43:29 > 0:43:31So where is he?
0:43:31 > 0:43:32Uh...
0:43:35 > 0:43:37I wouldn't do that if I was you.
0:43:41 > 0:43:43Not even a note.
0:43:43 > 0:43:45- Where you going?- Wait here.
0:44:06 > 0:44:08Oh, hey.
0:44:08 > 0:44:09Hey.
0:44:10 > 0:44:11Have you got some news?
0:44:14 > 0:44:18The MRI showed up some scarring in the myelin - that's the sheaves
0:44:18 > 0:44:24around the nerves of the brain - and everything's beginning to add up -
0:44:24 > 0:44:27the vision problems, abdominal cramps, sudden collapses.
0:44:28 > 0:44:31To?
0:44:31 > 0:44:36We'll need some tests to confirm it but it looks like it might be MS.
0:44:42 > 0:44:45That's what you were thinking, isn't it?
0:44:47 > 0:44:51The GP had run some tests so it was on the cards.
0:44:53 > 0:44:56And do you understand what this means?
0:44:58 > 0:45:00So why didn't you say?
0:45:00 > 0:45:02Because we're going to court.
0:45:02 > 0:45:06I mean, how is that going to play with the magistrate?
0:45:06 > 0:45:10The mum's got MS - how is she going to be able to look after them?
0:45:11 > 0:45:14Dad's got to be a better bet.
0:45:14 > 0:45:16He's not having them.
0:45:16 > 0:45:19Listen, I don't think he wants them. Not full-time.
0:45:19 > 0:45:21I just think he wants access.
0:45:22 > 0:45:25Tell me to mind my own business
0:45:25 > 0:45:29but if you want to be with your kids, you're going to need support.
0:45:37 > 0:45:39Ah, there he is.
0:45:39 > 0:45:43Jas has just been giving me some tips about the US
0:45:43 > 0:45:45since I'm going to be training there.
0:45:46 > 0:45:49Look, I had some time, so I thought I'd go and pick her up.
0:45:49 > 0:45:51Thanks, Ric.
0:45:51 > 0:45:53Don't mention it. Glad to be of help.
0:45:57 > 0:45:59Hey, it's good to see you.
0:45:59 > 0:46:01Nice welcome, Dad - thank you.
0:46:01 > 0:46:02I'm sorry, I was stuck in theatre.
0:46:02 > 0:46:04Excuses already - that is so disappointing.
0:46:04 > 0:46:07Wow, you sound just like your mom.
0:46:07 > 0:46:12Look! All right, I'm sorry. We're getting off on the wrong foot.
0:46:12 > 0:46:15- I was worried about you. - So worried, you left me with that weirdo Arthur?
0:46:18 > 0:46:23All right. Look, take this fiver, go down to the cafe.
0:46:23 > 0:46:27Get yourself something to eat - then you come back, sit in my office and don't move until I get back.
0:46:27 > 0:46:29Clear?
0:46:29 > 0:46:32- Mr Spence?- Yeah?
0:46:32 > 0:46:35The limo guy keeps calling. He's still at the airport.
0:46:35 > 0:46:38- Great. - It's just, he charges by the hour.
0:46:38 > 0:46:40Even better. What?
0:46:40 > 0:46:45Uh, Seb Channing's conscious and asking for you.
0:46:56 > 0:46:58Hey. How you doing?
0:46:59 > 0:47:01Have you spoken to your father yet?
0:47:03 > 0:47:06No, I think he's gone home.
0:47:06 > 0:47:08The doctor, the geek guy...
0:47:09 > 0:47:14- Ah, Digby.- Yeah, he said he left a little while back.
0:47:15 > 0:47:18Tried him on his phone but he's not picking up.
0:47:22 > 0:47:24Things didn't go so great, did they?
0:47:27 > 0:47:29I'm an expert with bad news.
0:47:31 > 0:47:35The nurses get a particular smile - and the geek's avoiding me.
0:47:44 > 0:47:46Can we wait for my dad?
0:47:47 > 0:47:49I don't want this on my own.
0:47:53 > 0:47:54Yeah.
0:48:00 > 0:48:02How long will she live?
0:48:02 > 0:48:05People can live long lives with MS.
0:48:09 > 0:48:13Can I ask? She thinks you want full-time custody - now is that
0:48:13 > 0:48:17something that's come from you or is that something she's just made up?
0:48:17 > 0:48:23No, I told her. When she wouldn't negotiate.
0:48:23 > 0:48:24And is that something you want?
0:48:26 > 0:48:28Does this change things?
0:48:28 > 0:48:30Well, yeah.
0:48:32 > 0:48:35She won't be able to look after them, will she?
0:48:35 > 0:48:38Well, she will, in the immediate future, with medication.
0:48:38 > 0:48:41In the longer term, who knows?
0:48:43 > 0:48:46But as long as the kids have got both their parents,
0:48:46 > 0:48:50- presumably you'd want them to have their mum?- Course.
0:48:50 > 0:48:53If I could talk to her like a normal human being,
0:48:53 > 0:48:54then we could sort it out.
0:48:54 > 0:48:55And the court?
0:48:57 > 0:49:00It's not going to happen, mate.
0:49:00 > 0:49:01You could make it work.
0:49:22 > 0:49:24Hey?
0:49:24 > 0:49:25Me?
0:49:25 > 0:49:28Yeah. Can you get me some water, please?
0:49:30 > 0:49:34So will you return my call, please? Seb is asking for you.
0:49:34 > 0:49:35Thank you.
0:49:38 > 0:49:42- His father's still not answering his mobile?- No.
0:49:42 > 0:49:45Well, I've got a whole vault of minor childhood disappointments that
0:49:45 > 0:49:48- I could offer up in support. - Sure, Digby, that'd be great.
0:49:48 > 0:49:52No, I just meant that - well, parents have their reasons, don't they?
0:49:52 > 0:49:56Mmm, you got a vault full of those, too?
0:49:56 > 0:49:59Jasmine, she was really looking forward to coming, wasn't she?
0:49:59 > 0:50:01Yeah, she was.
0:50:01 > 0:50:05Think I'm going to have to break the bank now just to make it up to her.
0:50:07 > 0:50:09All right, Digby, what is it?
0:50:09 > 0:50:12Come on, hit me with it - everyone else has.
0:50:12 > 0:50:19No, well - I think the overspending dad is just a bit...cliched, isn't it?
0:50:19 > 0:50:22Really? I thought it was kind of old school.
0:50:22 > 0:50:25- I don't know Jasmine, but... - No. You don't.
0:50:27 > 0:50:29I just think that you should...
0:50:32 > 0:50:34You can still be her Napoleon.
0:50:41 > 0:50:42It's not very cold.
0:50:42 > 0:50:44Doesn't matter. Sorry.
0:50:47 > 0:50:49I'm not actually a nurse, you know.
0:50:49 > 0:50:50I know.
0:50:52 > 0:50:53My dad's a doctor here.
0:50:53 > 0:50:55Yeah. You're a Spence, right?
0:50:56 > 0:50:59- Yeah.- Your dad's a great guy.
0:50:59 > 0:51:01He really pulled out the stops for me.
0:51:07 > 0:51:08See you, then.
0:51:17 > 0:51:19They cool?
0:51:20 > 0:51:24I think they're talking about what colour they're going to paint the living room.
0:51:29 > 0:51:32Listen, we still need to talk.
0:51:40 > 0:51:44- What's this? - The consent form for Daniel.
0:51:44 > 0:51:46Signed.
0:51:48 > 0:51:50Right.
0:51:50 > 0:51:51There you go. Panic's over.
0:51:54 > 0:51:56I'm going to go and pick him up.
0:51:58 > 0:52:00Oh, nearly forgot.
0:52:02 > 0:52:04Happy birthday.
0:52:06 > 0:52:08See you at home.
0:52:28 > 0:52:30You want me to come in with you?
0:52:30 > 0:52:31No, thank you.
0:52:32 > 0:52:35The place is going to be full of her, Ollie.
0:52:35 > 0:52:38Which makes everything tangible again.
0:52:38 > 0:52:43Not easy to handle but not entirely a bad thing, believe me.
0:52:48 > 0:52:49Thanks for the lift.

0:54:24 > 0:54:25What's it worth?
0:54:27 > 0:54:28Let's just get one thing straight.
0:54:28 > 0:54:31I'm not changing my schedule just because you're here.
0:54:31 > 0:54:33- You're going to have to fit around me.- Fantastic.
0:54:33 > 0:54:37OK, so Saturday mornings I like to get breakfast then
0:54:37 > 0:54:38I go out to a movie.
0:54:38 > 0:54:42Sundays, I like to get a deep-dish pizza, hang out with some old friends...
0:54:42 > 0:54:46- Your old friends? - Mine? No, come on. I ain't got any.
0:54:48 > 0:54:50OK, you do this every weekend?
0:54:50 > 0:54:53Yeah, except for when I go clothes shopping.
0:54:55 > 0:54:56I missed you, Dad.
0:55:00 > 0:55:03I missed you, too.
0:55:03 > 0:55:05- And I'm sorry.- It's OK - I get it.
0:55:09 > 0:55:13Great. Let's go out and get something to eat.
0:55:13 > 0:55:17Give your mom a call, let her know everything was OK. I just got to go do one other thing.
0:55:17 > 0:55:21Oh, and for God's sake, do not mention the airport!
0:55:26 > 0:55:27Hey, Seb.
0:55:30 > 0:55:33I think we should have that conversation.
0:55:33 > 0:55:35My dad still not picking up?
0:55:36 > 0:55:38No.
0:55:41 > 0:55:43Do you want to do this another time?
0:55:43 > 0:55:45What other time?
0:55:45 > 0:55:48Am I going to be around when my mum gets here,
0:55:48 > 0:55:50that's all I need to know.
0:55:50 > 0:55:52Seb, I honestly don't know.
0:55:53 > 0:55:56We did our best but things are less certain now.
0:55:59 > 0:56:01Look at me.
0:56:02 > 0:56:04- It's OK.- No, it's not.
0:56:06 > 0:56:09Somebody's got to stay strong.
0:56:09 > 0:56:12It's harder for everybody else.
0:56:16 > 0:56:18Do you want me to stick around?
0:56:18 > 0:56:22No, no, you've got your own family to see to.
0:56:25 > 0:56:29All right, look, this is my card.
