A good leader should give credit where credit is due.

0:00:400:00:42

Did she not alert you to the possibility that self-harm

0:00:420:00:44

was the cause of the ulcer quite early on in the day?

0:00:440:00:47

I, er, backed my own judgment.

0:00:470:00:49

Well, in the end, that's what we all have to do.

0:00:490:00:51

Chrissie Williams.

0:00:520:00:53

'When they called my name out earlier...'

0:00:530:00:55

Suddenly you start thinking of all the worst-case scenarios.

0:00:550:00:59

Hey, none of that. What happened to that bolshie

0:00:590:01:01

and incredibly rude women I met this morning?

0:01:010:01:04

Fredrick's partner is expecting a baby.

0:01:040:01:07

You're going to be a grandfather.

0:01:070:01:10

I didn't do it. I'm still pregnant.

0:01:100:01:12

But if it's not what you want, then you are under no obligation.

0:01:120:01:15

Obligation?! I want this baby, I have ALWAYS wanted this baby.

0:01:150:01:19

Right.

0:01:190:01:20

Fredrik needs you. Take this chance, please, it's not too late.

0:01:200:01:26

PHONE RINGS

0:01:520:01:53

Hanssen.

0:01:550:01:56

Oh, yes, send him in, please. Thank you.

0:01:590:02:01

Look at all these toys, Daniel. Here we are. It's so cool here!

0:02:120:02:16

Wow, look who it is! Who's a big boy, then?

0:02:180:02:21

First day at nursery! You excited?

0:02:210:02:23

DANIEL MUTTERS Beautiful boy.

0:02:230:02:26

Everything OK? Yeah, absolutely fine.

0:02:280:02:31

Listen, if you ever want me to bring him in

0:02:310:02:34

or give you a lift anywhere, you will say, won't you?

0:02:340:02:36

I'm very happy to... Sacha, please.

0:02:360:02:38

OK, yes, I understand. Space...

0:02:380:02:39

Right, shall we swing? Hey...shall we do a swing?

0:02:410:02:44

BOTH: One...two...three!

0:02:440:02:49

Again? Ready? One...two...three!

0:02:490:02:54

Now, listen. Mummy's got to go to work now.

0:02:580:03:02

When you finish, Mummy's going to take you for ice-cream.

0:03:020:03:05

(Yeah? Good boy. I love you.)

0:03:050:03:08

That's it, give me Monkey.

0:03:130:03:16

You know where we're going to go now, don't you? Ready?

0:03:160:03:18

Look, I've had time to consider, Mr Hanssen, and I get it,

0:03:200:03:25

I really do...

0:03:250:03:26

PHONE RINGS

0:03:260:03:27

Actually, I'm sorry, do you mind if I take this?

0:03:310:03:33

Jake. Look, I'm in a meeting...

0:03:360:03:38

I've told you before, this phone is for emergencies only.

0:03:390:03:42

Well, if there's no milk, you need to go and buy some.

0:03:440:03:47

Speak to you later.

0:03:470:03:48

HE LAUGHS

0:03:500:03:51

Sorry about that, Mr Hanssen, Jake thinks he's all grown up

0:03:510:03:54

but goes on like a three-year-old half the time.

0:03:540:03:56

You know what kids are like, right?

0:03:560:03:57

Bottom line, I know where I went wrong...

0:04:000:04:03

In simple terms, you are asking for

0:04:030:04:06

more responsibility while showing a worrying incapacity to deal

0:04:060:04:10

with the responsibilities you already have.

0:04:100:04:12

But I've learned from my mistake...

0:04:120:04:14

My concerns are not confined to your performance as clinical skills lead,

0:04:140:04:18

but also to your historical inability to stick to the rules,

0:04:180:04:21

your frequent over-identification with patients

0:04:210:04:25

and inability to step back from your emotions.

0:04:250:04:28

So, what...?

0:04:280:04:29

I-I'm finished here? Not necessarily, no.

0:04:310:04:33

If you would be prepared to work closely with me

0:04:350:04:38

for the foreseeable future - observe and be observed -

0:04:380:04:41

then I will be able to determine

0:04:410:04:43

whether you have indeed learned your lesson and moved on...or not.

0:04:430:04:46

Entirely up to you.

0:04:470:04:49

Has Jac said anything to you about the baby? Nope.

0:04:490:04:51

AUTOMATED VOICE: Doors opening, lift going down.

0:04:530:04:55

All my no-doubt clumsy attempts to raise the subject have

0:04:550:04:58

felt rather unwelcome.

0:04:580:04:59

Yeah, I know the feeling. I just want to reach out, be supportive.

0:04:590:05:03

It must be a terribly worrying time for Jac.

0:05:030:05:05

I'm not worried. Jac... Hey!

0:05:050:05:08

But you lot whispering in corners is really beginning to wind me up.

0:05:080:05:12

OK, give them a break. They just

0:05:120:05:13

want to know how you - how WE - want to play this.

0:05:130:05:15

Losing the nauseating "poor you" looks of sympathy

0:05:150:05:18

would be a good start. Then, tell them that.

0:05:180:05:21

Jac, I'm sorry, I really didn't mean to upset you...

0:05:210:05:24

I'm not upset. That's the whole point.

0:05:240:05:27

This baby has a 50% chance of survival,

0:05:270:05:29

the possibility of growing up with minimal complications -

0:05:290:05:32

it's not all doom and gloom... Yes, of course.

0:05:320:05:34

And no, Ms Effanga, I am not in denial.

0:05:340:05:37

But until the birth, there's no way of knowing

0:05:370:05:39

what we're up against, so I'd rather think positive

0:05:390:05:42

than stress endlessly over worst-case scenarios.

0:05:420:05:44

If that's OK with you two? Got it.

0:05:440:05:46

Couldn't agree more. Thank you.

0:05:460:05:47

SHE SIGHS

0:05:490:05:50

'You have reached Chantelle Lane's phone.

0:05:510:05:54

'Please leave a message after the tone.'

0:05:540:05:57

You were better than I thought.

0:05:570:05:59

At what? Sex.

0:05:590:06:00

Thanks, erm, but...maybe we could keep the sex thing to ourselves?

0:06:010:06:06

Stamina's your problem. I could help you work on that today if you'd like?

0:06:060:06:09

That's what I like to hear, Dr March.

0:06:090:06:11

Helping a colleague to achieve excellence.

0:06:110:06:13

Just what I've been discussing with Mr Malick.

0:06:130:06:15

We have a 12-year-old waiting in the lobby.

0:06:150:06:17

Intermittent abdo pains. Why isn't he on Paeds?

0:06:170:06:20

No room. So they bounced him here.

0:06:200:06:22

There's nothing wrong with me! Dad, tell them!

0:06:230:06:26

Josh, you need to calm down.

0:06:260:06:28

As you can see, he's not very happy about it.

0:06:280:06:31

Anyway, I'm off to St James's for the day,

0:06:310:06:33

so I'll leave him in your capable hands.

0:06:330:06:35

I'm not staying, I'm not! All right, shh-shh-shh.

0:06:350:06:38

Mr Spence... Have a nice day!

0:06:380:06:39

HE WHISTLES Hey, blondie! Over here!

0:06:420:06:45

I just love the smell of chemo in the morning.

0:06:490:06:52

You're looking pretty good, girl, considering...

0:06:530:06:56

Yeah, great. I feel fine.

0:06:560:06:58

Mind you, radiotherapy's a breeze compared to chemo.

0:06:580:07:02

At least you won't end up with a pair of shrivelled gonads

0:07:020:07:04

and a failing manhood.

0:07:040:07:06

What's up? Come on, you can tell Uncle Tim.

0:07:080:07:11

It's my little boy's first day at nursery.

0:07:120:07:15

So? He's a big boy now.

0:07:150:07:16

Sacha had to take him in. I had this burning pain.

0:07:160:07:19

I didn't want Daniel to see me.

0:07:190:07:21

You were just protecting the little lad. Being brave.

0:07:210:07:24

I didn't feel like I was being brave.

0:07:240:07:26

Felt like...like I was losing him, like everything is changing.

0:07:260:07:30

Look, your cells have gone AWOL,

0:07:300:07:32

you're having treatment to deal with it -

0:07:320:07:34

that's the only thing that's different.

0:07:340:07:36

You see, you get it, but not everyone does,

0:07:360:07:38

especially Sacha. Sometimes the way he looks at me...

0:07:380:07:42

Hmm, it's called "the cancer stare" in the trade.

0:07:420:07:45

I know this sounds awful, but I could punch him!

0:07:450:07:47

Great. Use that anger. How?

0:07:470:07:50

By fighting to stay positive, 24/7.

0:07:500:07:53

Getting stuck in at work, taking the lead.

0:07:530:07:56

Showing everyone what a little bit of sunshine you are!

0:07:560:07:58

Now, look on the bright side.

0:08:000:08:01

At least you'll lose a bit of weight meantime.

0:08:010:08:03

Save a fortune on the lipo bill.

0:08:030:08:05

Come here, princess...

0:08:070:08:09

HE LAUGHS You daft thing.

0:08:090:08:11

They're just going to look you over. And if you're fine... I am!

0:08:160:08:19

Well, then, we'll go, OK?

0:08:190:08:22

We can watch the footie on telly...

0:08:220:08:23

pizza, game of FIFA, how's that sound, eh?

0:08:230:08:26

Good lad.

0:08:260:08:28

Glad to see things have calmed down.

0:08:280:08:30

Yeah, sorry about earlier. Josh isn't too keen on hospitals.

0:08:300:08:32

I got that impression.

0:08:320:08:35

So, can you tell me what happened? It doesn't even hurt now.

0:08:350:08:38

He had football practice, got a ball in the stomach

0:08:380:08:40

and has been in pain off and on all night.

0:08:400:08:42

There's nothing wrong with me!

0:08:420:08:44

Would you be quiet and let your father speak?

0:08:440:08:45

I need to understand what the problem is.

0:08:450:08:47

Josh... JOSH COUGHS

0:08:470:08:49

You said we could go. Not yet, Josh...

0:08:490:08:51

So you were lying?

0:08:510:08:53

Joshie... JOSH GROANS

0:08:530:08:54

Get back into bed, come on.

0:08:540:08:56

Right, I need FBC, Us & Es, LFTs and an abdominal ultrasound, please.

0:08:560:09:00

No, Dad, please. It's OK. Just calm down, yeah? We'll sort this.

0:09:000:09:04

He's got cystic fibrosis. Ah, I see.

0:09:040:09:06

Could I have a word outside, please? (Yeah.)

0:09:070:09:10

I'm not staying!

0:09:100:09:11

Hey, little man. Stay cool, yeah?

0:09:110:09:14

It's going to be OK, mate.

0:09:140:09:15

We don't know that, do we?

0:09:190:09:21

He's not your "mate", he's your patient.

0:09:210:09:23

Of course, I'm sorry, I got it.

0:09:230:09:24

These just came through from St James's. Thank you.

0:09:240:09:27

Really sorry about that. Josh is a lovely boy but he's had a hard time.

0:09:280:09:31

Two long hospital stays already this year.

0:09:310:09:34

Chest infection and bowel procedures, I see.

0:09:340:09:36

He's 12, he's growing up, he wants to be like the other lads.

0:09:360:09:39

Well, we'll do some tests and take a view.

0:09:390:09:42

Surgery's a big deal for kids with CF...

0:09:420:09:45

Yes, I am aware of the various issues.

0:09:450:09:46

So you'll avoid it, if at all possible?

0:09:460:09:48

Of course.

0:09:480:09:50

We will do what is best for your son. Excuse me, if you please.

0:09:500:09:53

Tamsin Chalmers, 28, collapsed in the street, palpitations.

0:09:560:10:00

Shortness of breath. Pulse 90, BP 100/65.

0:10:000:10:04

She's still pretty out of it.

0:10:040:10:06

Actually, Miss Naylor, can you take this?

0:10:060:10:08

I got a call for a potential transplant for you, Mo.

0:10:080:10:11

Yes, fine. Bed three, please. Cheers.

0:10:110:10:13

They're waiting for your call. Ta.

0:10:130:10:16

Here's the baby. Oh, OK.

0:10:160:10:18

Erm, can you find somewhere to put that?

0:10:200:10:22

Eh, where exactly?

0:10:220:10:24

There's a cardboard box in my office.

0:10:240:10:26

It's not a tortoise! Normal bloods and an ECG, please.

0:10:260:10:30

Hello.

0:10:300:10:31

Push fluids and keep him as comfortable as you can.

0:10:310:10:34

Couple of hours for our Mr Mortimer, I'd say.

0:10:360:10:39

Joshua Pryce's test results. Thank you very much.

0:10:390:10:42

What do you know about CF, Dr March?

0:10:420:10:44

Is this a test? All patients are learning opportunities.

0:10:440:10:47

Cystic fibrosis is a genetic, chronic disease

0:10:470:10:49

that affects the lungs and digestive system.

0:10:490:10:51

Thick mucus production results in life-threatening

0:10:510:10:54

lung infections, obstructs the pancreas

0:10:540:10:56

and stops natural enzymes from helping the body absorb food.

0:10:560:10:58

Prognosis? As yet incurable. Median life expectancy, approximately 40.

0:11:000:11:04

Very impressive, Dr March.

0:11:040:11:06

No wonder the boy's all over the place.

0:11:100:11:12

My heart goes out to him, you know.

0:11:130:11:15

Over-identifying with his plight won't affect his outcome, I'm afraid.

0:11:150:11:18

Our job today is purely to focus on his spleen.

0:11:180:11:21

Your thoughts? Grade one splenic injury. Currently low level.

0:11:220:11:27

I suggest we keep him in then take a view.

0:11:270:11:30

I mean, minor splenic injuries often heal themselves spontaneously.

0:11:300:11:33

Especially in children. But as you can see, his spleen is enlarged,

0:11:330:11:36

which gives him an increased risk of rupture.

0:11:360:11:39

But without a spleen, his immunity will be severely compromised.

0:11:390:11:42

And without surgery, he might die today.

0:11:420:11:44

Mr Hanssen, you heard his dad.

0:11:440:11:45

He wants us to avoid surgery if at all possible.

0:11:450:11:47

The kid's terrified, and I don't blame him...

0:11:470:11:50

Clear-cut, rational decision-making, Mr Malick,

0:11:500:11:52

without emotion overruling medical judgement.

0:11:520:11:55

At all times.

0:11:550:11:56

Morning, Mrs Withers. How are you today?

0:11:580:12:00

Morning, gorgeous.

0:12:050:12:07

If I was ten years younger, you wouldn't stand a chance.

0:12:070:12:09

I want to see a proper doctor - now!

0:12:110:12:13

You're just going to have to wait your turn.

0:12:130:12:15

This is an acute ward with REAL emergencies.

0:12:150:12:17

I am an emergency, you cheeky Irish cow! My leg's killing me!

0:12:170:12:20

Hey, hey, hey, keep the noise down, please, there are sick people here.

0:12:200:12:23

Yeah, and I'm one of them!

0:12:230:12:24

You can't use that here. You can't use that in here...

0:12:240:12:27

Get your hands off!

0:12:270:12:29

It better not be broken.

0:12:290:12:31

Your wife is such a trooper.

0:12:390:12:41

Work takes her mind off things.

0:12:410:12:43

I would've gone home and cried to Mummy.

0:12:460:12:48

Yeah, but, then, you are a bit of a wuss.

0:12:480:12:50

# Won't you take me to funky town

0:12:520:12:58

# Won't you take me to funky town

0:12:590:13:03

# Won't you take me to funky town... #

0:13:030:13:06

You're a natural, Maconie.

0:13:060:13:08

PHONE RINGS Can you get that? I don't want to wake her up.

0:13:080:13:11

BABY STIRS Shh-shh-shh. It's OK.

0:13:120:13:14

Nurse Maconie's phone.

0:13:140:13:15

Fleur?

0:13:160:13:18

Yeah. Uh-huh, OK, I'll pass that on.

0:13:190:13:23

"Fleur" needs you to call her as soon as poss.

0:13:230:13:25

OK, man, it's not what you think.

0:13:260:13:29

You dark horse. Spill!

0:13:290:13:31

When we got the CDH diagnosis, they...

0:13:310:13:34

Shh-shh.

0:13:340:13:35

They encouraged us to get involved with other parents,

0:13:350:13:38

so I put us down for some baby classes.

0:13:380:13:40

Fleur's the co-ordinator. So...

0:13:410:13:43

BABY MOANS Aww. Aww, hello.

0:13:430:13:46

So it's a group for parents with complications?

0:13:470:13:49

Oh, no. Just general classes. But they kind of encourage you

0:13:490:13:53

to build up a support network before the birth...

0:13:530:13:55

And Jac was cool with that?

0:13:550:13:57

She said she'd think about it. Well, you better hurry up

0:13:570:13:59

and make your minds up, cos Fleur's had a cancellation.

0:13:590:14:02

For this afternoon. Oh.

0:14:020:14:03

I know this isn't what you wanted to hear,

0:14:050:14:07

but we should proceed with the safest option for your son.

0:14:070:14:10

Josh can't afford to lose his spleen,

0:14:100:14:12

he finds it hard enough to fight off infection as it is.

0:14:120:14:15

He's on 40 tablets a day, twice daily physio,

0:14:150:14:17

two different inhalers, nebulisers - that's just to stand still!

0:14:170:14:20

Mr Pryce... Surgery can badly damage lung function. Of course, but...

0:14:200:14:24

That damage is irreversible...

0:14:240:14:26

I'm sorry. There is no perfect solution.

0:14:260:14:28

On the positive side, Joshua is currently stable enough

0:14:280:14:31

for the procedure to be performed laparascopically,

0:14:310:14:34

which has a much lower risk of infection.

0:14:340:14:37

He's been through so much already, please...

0:14:370:14:40

There must be something else, medication, anything...

0:14:400:14:43

We could just observe him over time?

0:14:430:14:45

Wait to see if the spleen could heal itself.

0:14:450:14:48

But as Mr Hanssen just explained,

0:14:480:14:50

that would be the far riskier option in Joshua's case.

0:14:500:14:53

Saw you with Tim earlier.

0:14:560:14:58

Yeah he's having some chemo, thought I'd say hi.

0:14:580:15:00

He seems very keen on you, very...touchy-feely.

0:15:010:15:05

You know he's gay? Yeah.

0:15:050:15:07

So what are you saying?

0:15:070:15:08

Nothing.

0:15:100:15:11

Ah, bed seven, thanks.

0:15:170:15:18

The drama queen is demanding your presence.

0:15:200:15:23

Needs help to sit up in bed and I won't do, apparently.

0:15:230:15:26

Has me down as a bog Irish numpty.

0:15:260:15:28

Tell her I'm coming.

0:15:280:15:29

I know I said I'd give you space, but you shouldn't be lifting patients.

0:15:350:15:38

I mean, you could barely lift Daniel this morning.

0:15:380:15:41

Well, I'm fine now.

0:15:410:15:42

Everything OK? Apparently.

0:15:540:15:57

She knows you're here. If she needs you.

0:16:000:16:02

No! I told you!

0:16:050:16:07

They said there's no way round it... I don't care!

0:16:070:16:10

We just have to do the right thing. I don't believe you!

0:16:100:16:13

Josh, what is this? I want Mum!

0:16:130:16:16

That's not possible, you know that.

0:16:170:16:19

No, I don't. You're a liar!

0:16:190:16:21

Josh, I know this isn't what we said we wanted...

0:16:210:16:24

No, I want Mum! Josh, Josh...

0:16:240:16:26

JOSH COUGHS

0:16:260:16:28

Get back into bed. No!

0:16:280:16:30

You need to calm down, young man. We're trying to help you.

0:16:300:16:32

You don't care what I want! Josh, please.

0:16:320:16:34

And neither do you! Of course I do. Then, get Mum!

0:16:340:16:37

HE CRIES WITH PAIN

0:16:370:16:39

Hey, it's OK... Right, we'll need more bloods and a scan, please. Excuse me.

0:16:390:16:42

I just want to explain... Forgive me, I have other patients to see.

0:16:420:16:46

How's her mum doing? She's in AF.

0:16:500:16:52

Needs 300mg of Amioderone stat,

0:16:520:16:54

and 900mg over 12 hours' heparin infusion.

0:16:540:16:57

And can you book an echo ASAP? I need to rule out mitral regurgitation.

0:16:570:17:01

What are you still doing with that?

0:17:010:17:02

No relatives as yet. I really don't think she likes me very much.

0:17:020:17:06

Maybe you're just not doing it right.

0:17:060:17:08

Mo said I was a natural. She was lying.

0:17:080:17:10

Well, I'm sure there's a lot we both need to learn.

0:17:100:17:13

I'm fine, thanks.

0:17:130:17:14

In fact, you know the classes we were talking about?

0:17:140:17:18

A space has come up. I didn't think you were being serious.

0:17:180:17:21

Yeah, this afternoon, in fact...

0:17:210:17:24

I thought we could take it as our break.

0:17:240:17:27

I am not standing around talking about piles, heartburn

0:17:270:17:29

and nursery decor with a bunch of fat, brain-dead housewives.

0:17:290:17:33

We're going to need support, more than most people.

0:17:330:17:36

Everybody does them, Jac.

0:17:360:17:38

Since when do I care what everyone else does?

0:17:380:17:39

Nothing wrong with just giving them a try. I said no.

0:17:390:17:43

Why? Because our baby's different?

0:17:430:17:45

No, because I don't need help.

0:17:450:17:47

But if you want to waste your time chit-chatting

0:17:470:17:49

to neurotic yummy mummies about the benefits

0:17:490:17:51

of perineal massage, then feel free.

0:17:510:17:54

BP 160/100.

0:17:570:18:00

She's got swelling and tenderness in her right upper thigh...

0:18:000:18:03

Excuse me? I am here, you know.

0:18:030:18:05

Miss Peters, this is Mr Griffin. He's our senior consultant.

0:18:050:18:09

Oh, a doctor. Finally!

0:18:090:18:11

Sorry for the wait.

0:18:110:18:12

Going private next time. It's unbelievable in here.

0:18:120:18:15

Right. Shall we take a look?

0:18:150:18:18

I'm going on holiday in a couple of days.

0:18:210:18:23

Do you mind if I examine the leg?

0:18:230:18:26

Ow! Oh, my God...

0:18:260:18:28

The leg is clearly inflamed... and warm in the thigh area.

0:18:280:18:33

Yeah, and it's getting worse.

0:18:330:18:35

Can't go on the beach with a bum like an orang-utan, can I?

0:18:350:18:37

PAGER BEEPS Excuse me.

0:18:370:18:40

I'm afraid I'm going to have to deal with this. I'm in agony here!

0:18:410:18:44

This is an emergency. What's this, then?

0:18:440:18:46

Got this pulse in my leg and it's throbbing like mad.

0:18:460:18:49

If you leave me any longer, I might need an amputation.

0:18:490:18:51

I'll find you another doctor.

0:18:510:18:54

My dad pays taxes for this rubbish!

0:18:540:18:56

Clearly old-fashioned charm.

0:18:560:18:58

Don't worry, I can handle her.

0:18:580:19:00

Chrissie, you don't have to be superwoman.

0:19:000:19:03

If it gets too much, yell, OK?

0:19:030:19:04

I see the bleeding has increased.

0:19:060:19:08

Yeah, but only marginally.

0:19:080:19:10

Yes, but... Thank you.

0:19:100:19:12

If we don't act now, we'll forfeit the opportunity

0:19:120:19:15

to do this laparoscopically. We need to make him a priority.

0:19:150:19:18

Some people get way more than their fair share of bad luck.

0:19:180:19:21

If Jake had CF, I don't know what I'd do.

0:19:210:19:23

Mr Malick, that is your personal life, this is your professional one.

0:19:230:19:26

Yes, of course. I'll, uh... rearrange the theatre list.

0:19:280:19:32

Thank you.

0:19:330:19:34

X-ray are expecting her now, thank you.

0:19:360:19:40

What's the deal? Just checking there are no abnormalities

0:19:400:19:43

in the heart structure. But I reckon she'll be fine.

0:19:430:19:45

Jonny, this is getting ridiculous.

0:19:450:19:47

There's a relative due any minute.

0:19:470:19:49

I really need you to get up to speed on this transplant case.

0:19:490:19:51

But... I'll take it.

0:19:510:19:53

Are you sure? Yeah, if she doesn't shut up,

0:19:550:19:57

I'll just stick her out on the fire escape.

0:19:570:19:59

That was a joke. I'm perfectly capable! You can go!

0:20:010:20:04

BABY STIRS

0:20:100:20:11

No, no, don't start, there'll be trouble.

0:20:110:20:13

Mr Hanssen?

0:20:240:20:25

I was just looking for your father.

0:20:270:20:29

He's gone to sign some forms.

0:20:300:20:32

All right, I'll go and look for him.

0:20:320:20:34

No. Wait.

0:20:340:20:35

It's from my mum.

0:20:410:20:42

I really don't see what it... I need you to call her.

0:20:450:20:49

She's been writing me letters. Dad hid them.

0:20:490:20:53

He doesn't know that I've found them.

0:20:530:20:54

Well, I suggest you tell him.

0:20:540:20:56

But he lied! He said Mum didn't care.

0:20:560:20:59

But I know she does.

0:20:590:21:01

This is between you and your father.

0:21:030:21:05

I need to see her in case I die.

0:21:050:21:07

We're going to take very good care of you.

0:21:070:21:09

Just tell her she has to come. Dad won't.

0:21:090:21:11

The number's on the letter.

0:21:140:21:15

It wouldn't be correct, I'm afraid.

0:21:200:21:22

Speak to your father.

0:21:250:21:27

Bet you're loving this. Not often a bloke like you gets your hands between a girl's legs.

0:21:320:21:36

You have an infection on your upper inner right thigh.

0:21:360:21:38

Any idea what from?

0:21:380:21:40

I wanted a thigh gap for Marbella. Excuse me?

0:21:400:21:44

You know? A neat little gap between your thighs,

0:21:440:21:46

even when your knees are touching. Like Cara Delevingne?

0:21:460:21:49

Good, and that matters because?

0:21:490:21:52

Sorry to interrupt... Any time.

0:21:520:21:53

You're needed in theatre, Mr Levy. Thank you. Oooof.

0:21:530:21:57

Can't I have HIM? He'd get it. No.

0:21:580:22:01

You've got a mean face. You know that?

0:22:010:22:03

So, what you are trying to tell us is that you've had lipo?

0:22:030:22:06

Is that it? Don't look at me like that.

0:22:060:22:08

You trying to tell me you ain't had no work done?

0:22:080:22:10

We're going to start you on IV antibiotics and fluids.

0:22:100:22:14

Take it from there.

0:22:140:22:15

I'm going to swap you with Mary-Claire. She's a nightmare.

0:22:180:22:21

I'm more than capable...

0:22:210:22:23

Darling, I'm not saying you are not capable...

0:22:230:22:25

Sacha, please. You said you wouldn't do this.

0:22:250:22:27

PHONE RINGS

0:22:270:22:28

It's the nursery. ..Hello?

0:22:300:22:33

Mr Hanssen, there's a theatre available in an hour.

0:22:390:22:42

Shall I start getting Joshua prepped? Yes, that would...

0:22:420:22:45

Mr Malick, your son's on the phone.

0:22:450:22:47

I'll call him back. He's locked himself out. Tough!

0:22:470:22:49

I can only apologise, Mr Hanssen, the boy's an idiot.

0:22:500:22:53

He doesn't take after me, if that's what you're thinking.

0:22:530:22:56

It must have been difficult meeting Jake, as a grown man...

0:22:560:22:59

becoming a...family.

0:22:590:23:02

Yeah. But we're getting there, it's fine.

0:23:020:23:04

You see, I find that hard to believe. I promise you, Mr Hanssen,

0:23:060:23:09

whatever's going on at home... I can deal with it.

0:23:090:23:11

And I'll never let it affect my work.

0:23:110:23:13

But how does it feel?

0:23:130:23:14

Feel? Taking a complete stranger into your life?

0:23:160:23:19

Well...

0:23:190:23:20

I never, ever thought I'd be a dad, so...

0:23:210:23:24

it was weird at first.

0:23:240:23:26

Still don't know what I'm doing half the time.

0:23:270:23:29

But I don't regret it.

0:23:310:23:33

He's my flesh and blood and I... I love him.

0:23:330:23:36

I see.

0:23:380:23:40

Oh, Sacha, how could you? Daniel was distraught.

0:23:400:23:44

Chrissie, I'm so sorry.

0:23:440:23:46

I don't know how this happened.

0:23:460:23:49

I mean, he had Monkey when he got out of the car.

0:23:490:23:52

He gave him to me, whilst we were...swinging.

0:23:520:23:55

And I just must've forgotten to give it back to him.

0:23:550:23:58

You knew how important this was.

0:23:580:23:59

Every child had to bring a special toy,

0:23:590:24:02

and Daniel was the only one without anything.

0:24:020:24:04

Chrissie, what can I say?

0:24:040:24:06

You go on and on about being there for me, supporting me...

0:24:060:24:10

And a simple thing that I ask you to do - you can't.

0:24:100:24:13

Oh, hurry up, please! I hate needles!

0:24:490:24:51

Ow! You clumsy cow!

0:24:520:24:54

I'll get it this time... Oh, no, you won't.

0:24:540:24:57

I'm going to make an official complaint about you!

0:24:590:25:01

Using me like a pin cushion.

0:25:010:25:04

And my tummy's killing me.

0:25:040:25:05

What seems to be the problem here?

0:25:060:25:08

You're the only decent person in this dump.

0:25:080:25:10

I believe you're due a break, Sister Williams? Thank you.

0:25:100:25:14

As Mr Levy is still in theatre,

0:25:140:25:16

would you like me to examine you?

0:25:160:25:18

Yes, please. You've got lovely hands.

0:25:180:25:21

Oh, I took a message for you.

0:25:290:25:32

CHRISSIE SIGHS

0:25:320:25:33

All right, I'm going to go on my break.

0:25:350:25:37

Call me if anyone needs me. Sure.

0:25:370:25:39

Where's she off to?

0:25:450:25:47

Oh, she went to meet a guy.

0:25:470:25:49

Tim, I think his name was.

0:25:490:25:51

Where's she got to? Thought we'd be guided

0:26:070:26:10

by the sweet smell of baby vomit.

0:26:100:26:12

Or high-decibel screaming from the fire escape.

0:26:120:26:15

Jac or the baby? Both.

0:26:150:26:16

Told you the box was a good idea.

0:26:260:26:27

Joshie?

0:26:320:26:33

Josh?

Help me, someone!

Josh!

MAJA'S ANSWERPHONE MESSAGE IN SWEDISH

0:27:040:27:07

Oh, yes, hello, Maja. This is Henrik. I wonder if...

0:27:100:27:12

Mr Hanssen, it's Joshua!

0:27:120:27:14

You're going to be OK. There's no need to worry.

0:27:190:27:22

I don't...want you here.

0:27:220:27:24

I saw the letter, Josh. Why didn't you tell me?

0:27:240:27:27

Why did you hide them?

0:27:270:27:29

Right, let's put him under, please.

0:27:290:27:31

No, I need to wait. She's coming.

0:27:310:27:34

What? That's out of the question now, I'm afraid.

0:27:340:27:37

Go ahead, he'll be fine. No!

0:27:370:27:39

WOMAN: OK, he's my son, you have to let me see him!

0:27:390:27:43

Josh! Joshie! Mum! Oh, hello, darling.

0:27:430:27:46

Don't you know how dangerous this is?

0:27:470:27:49

We're aware of his vulnerability, yes.

0:27:490:27:51

Until I know this operation is

0:27:510:27:52

absolutely necessary, you're not going anywhere near him!

0:27:520:27:55

Hi.

0:27:590:28:01

Got you this, thought you might be hungry.

0:28:010:28:03

Thanks. Hey...what's happened to my warrior princess?

0:28:030:28:08

This is going to sound so stupid. Try me.

0:28:100:28:12

Sacha forgot to give Daniel this toy monkey,

0:28:140:28:17

and he needed it for nursery.

0:28:170:28:18

I'd never have done that.

0:28:190:28:21

And it got me thinking about how things might be if I'm not around.

0:28:210:28:24

You're going to be there, girl.

0:28:240:28:26

There's a chance I might not be.

0:28:260:28:28

But there's also amazing odds that you will.

0:28:280:28:30

And that's something you've got to hold on to.

0:28:300:28:33

You're one of the lucky ones.

0:28:340:28:36

I'm sorry, I'm so caught up talking about myself,

0:28:380:28:40

I forgot to ask, how was the chemo?

0:28:400:28:42

Just had my last session.

0:28:420:28:43

Really? Hmm. And?

0:28:440:28:46

Yeah, you know, the doctor's pleased

0:28:460:28:49

and it's all looking pretty positive.

0:28:490:28:52

What do you want me to do?

0:28:520:28:53

Prance around the car park singing I Will Survive?

0:28:530:28:56

Oh, Tim, I'm thrilled for you, that's brilliant news.

0:28:560:28:59

You are amazing. Do you know that? No, I'm not.

0:28:590:29:03

You are to me. Look at you. You're fit and well,

0:29:030:29:07

you've come out the other side and you're still smiling.

0:29:070:29:09

In the words of the immortal Freddie Mercury...

0:29:090:29:12

"The show must go on."

0:29:120:29:14

No matter what.

0:29:140:29:16

I was bullied into a making a decision before, and my son nearly died.

0:29:180:29:21

I will not let that happen again! Unless we act now, Joshua could be

0:29:210:29:25

facing open surgery, which would be far more dangerous for him.

0:29:250:29:27

So we need your consent NOW, please.

0:29:270:29:30

You've already got mine. Surely that's enough?

0:29:300:29:32

Not any more. She walked out on us.

0:29:320:29:34

No phone message. No explanation. Nothing.

0:29:340:29:37

Surely she loses the right... I don't make the rules, Mr Pryce.

0:29:370:29:40

That's why I hid the letters. I didn't want her involved in his life.

0:29:400:29:43

You hid the letters? I was just trying to protect my son. OUR son!

0:29:430:29:46

I won't let you do this, Ellen! You can't stop me!

0:29:460:29:49

His name's not even on the birth certificate.

0:29:490:29:51

We were separated at the time of his birth. Never married.

0:29:510:29:53

And when you walked out that door, you forfeited any right

0:29:530:29:56

to call yourself Josh's mother! I was ill!

0:29:560:29:58

I spent eight months in a psychiatric hospital.

0:30:000:30:03

So, now you can go on your world trip.

0:30:060:30:09

Where you going first?

0:30:090:30:10

I thought maybe Venezuela. Suitably exotic for an old queen like me.

0:30:100:30:15

Here, have a look at this - Angel Falls.

0:30:150:30:19

Isn't that magnificent? Over 3,000 feet high.

0:30:210:30:25

Wow... You know, when I was having my chemo,

0:30:250:30:28

I used to dream about standing underneath that,

0:30:280:30:31

buck naked, with the water rushing and pounding,

0:30:310:30:35

cleaning away all my troubles. Sounds perfect.

0:30:350:30:38

Unless I drown, of course, because I'm a rubbish swimmer...

0:30:380:30:41

I could come and be your personal lifeguard.

0:30:410:30:43

Hey, you'd look good in a Baywatch one-piece.

0:30:430:30:45

I mean it. When I'm better, I could come and join you.

0:30:450:30:48

See?

0:30:480:30:50

You said, "When I'm better," instead of "if".

0:30:500:30:54

That's a big step. It's all down to you.

0:30:540:30:57

Ah, get out of it. I'm like Mary Poppins, me.

0:30:580:31:01

Fly in. Do me magic. Fly out again.

0:31:010:31:04

Thank you. Ah, you're welcome.

0:31:060:31:08

I'll see you in Venezuela, kiddo.

0:31:090:31:11

I mean it. I'm going to get there. I know you are.

0:31:120:31:15

Come here.

0:31:170:31:18

Can you just keep it down, please! I'm not leaving Joshie! You didn't

0:31:290:31:32

care about leaving him before. He cried himself to sleep for months!

0:31:320:31:35

I wasn't being rational, I had severe clinical depression.

0:31:350:31:38

What, and you're all better now? The doctors are happy with my progress,

0:31:380:31:41

and, yes, I'm ready to be a mother again.

0:31:410:31:43

By denying him the treatment he needs?! Sounds completely sane to me!

0:31:430:31:46

You want Joshua to hear you both fighting? I just want her to go so

0:31:460:31:49

we can give him what he needs. You're angry, I understand that.

0:31:490:31:51

Well, what do you expect?

0:31:510:31:52

You walk back in here, putting my son's life at risk,

0:31:520:31:55

when I'm the one that's been protecting him,

0:31:550:31:57

caring for him, day in, day out.

0:31:570:31:59

You're obviously not fit to be his mother.

0:31:590:32:01

Declan... No. No, no, I'm calling my lawyer.

0:32:010:32:04

All good? Mm-hm.

0:32:080:32:10

Going to call you the baby whisperer from now on. Huh.

0:32:100:32:12

Ooh. Jac? You OK?

0:32:140:32:15

Get Elliot - now! No, no, no, wait.

0:32:150:32:18

I think it just kicked.

0:32:180:32:20

HE SIGHS WITH RELIEF

0:32:210:32:23

Do you mind if I... If you must.

0:32:240:32:26

There's nothing.

0:32:320:32:34

Here, wait.

0:32:340:32:35

There. You feel it?

0:32:370:32:38

Yeah... I can feel it.

0:32:420:32:44

OK.

0:32:450:32:46

He's still stable. Yeah, no thanks to her.

0:32:490:32:52

I just don't see why she gets to call all the shots. It's insane.

0:32:540:32:57

We have to proceed within the strict guidelines surrounding

0:32:580:33:01

parental responsibility. Which are?

0:33:010:33:03

To enable a discussion aimed at reaching consensus.

0:33:030:33:06

That didn't work.

0:33:060:33:07

Without consent, we can only give emergency treatment that is

0:33:070:33:10

essential to preserve life or to prevent serious deterioration.

0:33:100:33:14

Move too soon and you risk a lawsuit.

0:33:150:33:17

Prevaricate too long and you risk losing your patient.

0:33:170:33:20

Those are the rules that every consultant has to abide by.

0:33:200:33:24

The question is -

0:33:240:33:26

are you capable of being that man?

0:33:260:33:28

It's so weird. I feel like John Hurt in Alien.

0:33:310:33:34

Let's hope our baby chooses a more conventional route out.

0:33:340:33:38

It's getting real now.

0:33:390:33:41

Is that...OK?

0:33:420:33:44

No. It's terrifying.

0:33:440:33:45

I'm sorry I hassled you about those classes.

0:33:470:33:50

Last thing we need is a room full of young smug mums

0:33:500:33:54

waving their perfect baby-scan photos in our faces.

0:33:540:33:58

I'll tell her to forget it. No, don't.

0:33:590:34:01

I want us to do everything normal parents do.

0:34:020:34:05

And if that means going to your stupid baby classes, then...

0:34:050:34:08

we'll do that too.

0:34:080:34:09

You shouldn't have left me.

0:34:120:34:15

My thoughts were all mixed up.

0:34:150:34:16

I didn't think I was good enough to be your mum any more.

0:34:180:34:21

I thought you hated me.

0:34:210:34:22

Oh, Joshie...

0:34:240:34:27

I've always loved you, more than anything.

0:34:270:34:29

And now I'm better...I promise I'll never, ever leave you again.

0:34:300:34:33

I don't want to die, Mum.

0:34:350:34:37

That's not going to happen. I'm taking care of you now.

0:34:400:34:43

A word, if I may?

0:34:450:34:47

I have just received a call from Mr Pryce's lawyer,

0:34:570:34:59

who is investigating your mental health history.

0:34:590:35:02

I felt it my duty to warn you that if any question arises

0:35:020:35:05

over your competency, Mr Pryce will regain full rights over consent.

0:35:050:35:09

I'm expecting a call from your psychiatrist,

0:35:100:35:12

and that should clarify matters.

0:35:120:35:14

We have to go. Where?

0:35:220:35:24

To another hospital. For a second opinion.

0:35:240:35:27

I don't trust these doctors. But you can stop them.

0:35:270:35:31

They can pretend you're sicker than you are.

0:35:320:35:34

And they can say that I'm still not thinking straight.

0:35:340:35:38

Then it'll be out of my hands. OK, let's go.

0:35:380:35:41

But they won't want us to leave...

0:35:410:35:43

(so we have be very quiet, yeah?)

0:35:430:35:45

Right, Mr Samuels needs to be taken up for X-ray ASAP,

0:35:510:35:55

and when you've transferred Mr Martin, could you change

0:35:550:35:57

Ms Azir's dressings for me... and then do the drugs round.

0:35:570:36:00

I'll do the diva's obs.

0:36:000:36:03

Good luck!

0:36:030:36:04

Hiya. Where did you get to?

0:36:060:36:09

I just needed some fresh air. Oh.

0:36:090:36:10

Had a boob job in 2011. Could have gone bigger.

0:36:150:36:18

Some people prefer the beach ball effect,

0:36:180:36:20

but I like 'em pert and perky.

0:36:200:36:22

They both have their merits.

0:36:220:36:24

Could hardly see the scars. Look, I'll show you... Better not.

0:36:240:36:27

Had a chin implant last year, and I'm saving up for an eye lift.

0:36:270:36:31

How old are you? 21. But you've got to make the best of yourself.

0:36:310:36:35

Damage is already done by the time you get to your age.

0:36:350:36:37

Right.

0:36:370:36:39

Look, it's getting worse, isn't it? Like, it's really feeling hot now.

0:36:400:36:45

I am a little concerned, yeah. We'll be back in a minute.

0:36:450:36:48

I'll order a leg ultrasound,

0:36:500:36:51

but to be honest, I think we better get Sacha.

0:36:510:36:54

I'll call him. OK, thanks.

0:36:540:36:55

Ms Spencer was discharged after treatment, as stated.

0:37:000:37:03

She is not considered a risk to herself or others

0:37:030:37:05

and her psychiatrist has no concerns over her competency.

0:37:050:37:09

So what now? Take a look. The bleed is getting worse.

0:37:090:37:12

I would suggest that the point of "serious deterioration"

0:37:120:37:15

has been reached. I'll review the fluids.

0:37:150:37:17

Double-check the scan again...

0:37:180:37:20

Joshua's gone!

0:37:250:37:26

Mum? I don't think I can do this any more.

0:37:300:37:33

Not much further.

0:37:330:37:34

HE WHEEZES

0:37:340:37:36

I'm sorry... No, no, it's OK.

0:37:390:37:40

Josh! Joshie?!

0:37:420:37:44

Josh! Hang on, baby!

0:37:440:37:47

SIREN BLARES Help! Help me, someone! Please help!

0:37:470:37:51

Oh... Nothing's working, is it? Where's the nice doctor gone?

0:37:540:37:58

Owwww!

0:37:580:38:00

You need to calm down. I want my mum!

0:38:000:38:02

I know you do. She's on her way.

0:38:020:38:04

We've called her, it just took us a while to locate her.

0:38:040:38:06

She was having a spray tan for Marbella.

0:38:060:38:08

I told her not to rush it, but I wish I didn't now.

0:38:080:38:11

I can't breathe. Ric, I'm really concerned.

0:38:110:38:14

Her leg is much more swollen, hot to touch

0:38:140:38:16

and she's complaining of chest pains.

0:38:160:38:19

Do you think it could be a pulmonary embolism?

0:38:190:38:21

Looks like there is a clot.

0:38:220:38:23

Could be an iliofemoral blockage.

0:38:230:38:26

Get someone from Darwin down here now.

0:38:260:38:28

And let's get her started on heparin and warfarin.

0:38:280:38:31

We're going to need an echo,

0:38:310:38:33

high resolution CT scan and a D-dimer test.

0:38:330:38:35

Am I dying?!

0:38:350:38:37

You have a clot. We're going to try and dissolve it with medication.

0:38:370:38:40

A clot? Oh, my God, it's going to kill me, isn't it? No. No, it's not.

0:38:400:38:44

You're going to stay positive, keep calm and listen to me.

0:38:440:38:47

Josh...Joshie. Josh, please... What the hell have you done?!

0:38:490:38:54

You stupid woman, you could have killed him.

0:38:560:38:59

At the very least, you've put him at further risk.

0:38:590:39:02

We will have to perform open surgery now.

0:39:020:39:04

No, please... Stay away from him.

0:39:040:39:06

I'm in charge now. I think we all just need to calm down a bit.

0:39:060:39:09

You've turned your son's relatively stable condition into

0:39:090:39:12

a medical emergency. But I'm his mother! Well, start acting like one,

0:39:120:39:15

would you?! Mr Hanssen, I think the woman is in shock.

0:39:150:39:17

What if you're wrong? What if he dies?!

0:39:170:39:20

Without surgery he'll die anyway.

0:39:200:39:22

And with your history of mental illness, do you think any court

0:39:220:39:24

would support your judgment over mine? Let's get him into theatre.

0:39:240:39:28

He's in good hands, OK? Come this way.

0:39:300:39:33

Oh... Look, you sure you still want to do this?

0:39:390:39:44

No, but it's a bit late now, isn't it?

0:39:440:39:45

You must be Jac! Congratulations!

0:39:450:39:48

On what? The baby.

0:39:480:39:50

Oh, yeah. That. Such an exciting time, your first pregnancy.

0:39:500:39:55

I've got four. Why?

0:39:550:39:57

Always wanted a big family. Going for five, actually.

0:39:570:40:00

You are aware that multiple births greatly increase

0:40:000:40:03

the risk of pelvic-organ collapse?

0:40:030:40:05

I'd quit while you're ahead. Better get a mat.

0:40:050:40:08

Right, everyone, if you could just either grab a ball

0:40:110:40:14

or a mat and find a space.

0:40:140:40:15

I feel like I'm back at school. I hated school.

0:40:150:40:18

Well, I was all for not coming, remember?

0:40:180:40:19

Lovely. So we're going to start with some simple relaxation exercises.

0:40:240:40:28

Sit up straight, put your hands on your belly...

0:40:280:40:32

and just feel it rise and fall as you inhale through your nose.

0:40:320:40:36

Jonny, if you just want to kneel behind Jac. Right.

0:40:410:40:47

Supporting her back. That's it, like that. Right.

0:40:470:40:50

This'll be interesting.

0:40:540:40:56

I don't think I've seen you relax a single day since we met.

0:40:560:40:59

Oh! (Stop pushing me!)

0:41:010:41:03

I just want to ask one thing.

0:41:070:41:09

That you treat Joshua with the same care that you would your own son.

0:41:090:41:12

Mr Hanssen...you OK?

0:41:180:41:20

Uh, yes, I'm fine. I'll be with you in a moment. Take him in.

0:41:240:41:27

Ms Spencer?

0:41:290:41:30

If you loved your son...

0:41:340:41:35

..why did you walk away?

0:41:360:41:38

I thought I was too damaged.

0:41:380:41:40

Running away felt like the only solution.

0:41:410:41:44

Mr Hanssen, the team's ready.

0:41:440:41:46

CHLOE: No-one's telling me the truth in here!

0:41:540:41:57

CHLOE SOBS

0:41:580:42:00

Sorry, Sister Williams, she just went mental.

0:42:020:42:05

I looked up pulmonary embolism on my phone.

0:42:050:42:08

It's like a death sentence. Surprised she could spell it.

0:42:080:42:11

That's simply not true. Nobody's said you had a PE.

0:42:110:42:13

We are only sending you to Darwin as a precaution.

0:42:130:42:15

What's Darwin? It's our cardiothoracic ward.

0:42:150:42:18

Cardio... They think I'm going to have a heart attack?

0:42:180:42:22

No, no, your medication is working, you are going to be fine.

0:42:220:42:24

But my heart's banging. Yeah, that's because you're being hysterical.

0:42:240:42:28

No, it's real. Please, please, help me...

0:42:280:42:30

Chloe, listen, you have to stop this now. You're making yourself ill.

0:42:300:42:34

SHE HYPERVENTILATES Chrissie, you OK? You saying I'm faking it?

0:42:340:42:39

No, I'm not.

0:42:390:42:40

Cos you have no idea what it's like to be this sick!

0:42:400:42:43

Actually, she does, she's got cancer!

0:42:430:42:45

Cancer?! Oh, my God, I'm so sorry.

0:42:480:42:52

Chrissie...

0:42:520:42:54

FAINTLY: OK. I just need some fresh air...

0:42:540:42:56

Chrissie!

0:42:580:43:01

Get Mr Levy!

0:43:010:43:02

It's Chrissie!

0:43:060:43:07

Chrissie? Chrissie!

0:43:170:43:20

That's it, that's it. Chrissie, can you hear me?

0:43:200:43:23

Thank you.

0:43:230:43:24

Scalpel, please. ..Thank you.

0:43:280:43:31

So, making midline incision...

0:43:320:43:34

Mr Hanssen?

0:43:450:43:46

Mr Malick, you've been observing all day, perhaps you'd care to lead?

0:43:510:43:56

Of course. I'd be happy to.

0:43:570:43:59

When baby's head is delivered, you then pull downwards on baby's head,

0:44:020:44:05

like this...to deliver the shoulders and the body.

0:44:050:44:08

No. You'd wait for the head to turn naturally.

0:44:080:44:11

I have done this demonstration many times...

0:44:110:44:14

And I've delivered real, live infants.

0:44:140:44:16

And it's "THE baby", by the way.

0:44:160:44:18

We feel "baby" sounds more friendly, intimate.

0:44:180:44:21

Or patronising. Depending on your point of view.

0:44:210:44:24

When the head has turned, it'll be looking sideways again.

0:44:240:44:28

This is called restitution.

0:44:280:44:30

Only then do you pull downwards and deliver the shoulders and body.

0:44:300:44:34

Thank you, Jac, for that clarification.

0:44:340:44:36

I'm sure the class are very grateful.

0:44:360:44:38

Oh, unless the baby's head gets stuck, of course,

0:44:380:44:41

then you're looking at an episiotomy, which is just...

0:44:410:44:43

It's a nightmare, isn't it. (Ouch.)

0:44:430:44:46

What happened?

0:45:000:45:01

You're exhausted and you collapsed.

0:45:040:45:06

Go on then, say it. You told me so.

0:45:080:45:12

Chrissie...I've let you down.

0:45:150:45:17

Oh, Sacha, neither of us have done this before.

0:45:190:45:22

No. You were right. I've been self-centred and...weak,

0:45:220:45:30

and useless.

0:45:300:45:31

And it is because I'm so scared I'm going to lose you.

0:45:310:45:34

I've got to get to the nursery. No. I said I'd pick Daniel up, I promised.

0:45:420:45:45

You're not well enough. You're not well enough, I'll go. Sacha, please,

0:45:450:45:48

I've got to go this time. You know that's not a good idea.

0:45:480:45:50

OK? You need to rest.

0:45:500:45:53

That's it. (OK. OK.)

0:45:570:46:01

PHONE RINGS

0:46:040:46:06

RINGING CONTINUES

0:46:100:46:12

OK. Scissors.

0:46:160:46:17

Cutting the lienorenal ligament.

0:46:210:46:23

Delivering the spleen.

0:46:330:46:35

OK, people, let's close it up.

0:46:430:46:46

You actually only need an extra 200 calories a day.

0:46:490:46:52

Eating for two is a myth.

0:46:520:46:54

Pile on the pounds and you increase the risk of diabetes,

0:46:540:46:57

high blood pressure and premature birth.

0:46:570:47:00

Right, if we can just gather round and form a circle.

0:47:010:47:04

On the balls, on the floor. Whatever's comfortable.

0:47:060:47:09

So this final session is called Question Time.

0:47:110:47:14

It's really a chance to ask about anything

0:47:140:47:17

that might be troubling you.

0:47:170:47:18

It's a quiet and confidential space here.

0:47:180:47:21

Sometimes people have issues with sex in pregnancy.

0:47:210:47:24

It can feel like rather a taboo subject.

0:47:240:47:27

Oh, we don't actually have sex.

0:47:290:47:30

It won't harm the baby, Jac, if that's what's concerning you?

0:47:300:47:33

Oh, no, no. It's not an issue.

0:47:330:47:35

He's not my partner. Just the biological father.

0:47:350:47:37

The operation went as well as it could have.

0:47:450:47:48

Joshua's going to be fine.

0:47:480:47:49

THEY GASP

0:47:490:47:51

SHE SOBS

0:47:510:47:52

I thought she was working all day?

0:48:030:48:05

Erm, I think you should speak to Mr Levy.

0:48:050:48:08

Is there a problem?

0:48:080:48:10

Tim, I'm sorry, can I have a word, please? Thanks.

0:48:100:48:13

My wife has been admitted as a patient.

0:48:250:48:29

She collapsed on the ward.

0:48:290:48:31

Oh, no, poor Chrissie. I'm so sorry.

0:48:310:48:34

Tim, look...

0:48:340:48:35

I know you mean well, OK, but...

0:48:370:48:39

I'm afraid you've just made things worse.

0:48:390:48:41

Encouraging her to push herself like a lunatic.

0:48:410:48:43

Hang on, it wasn't like that. What was it like, then?

0:48:430:48:46

We just talked! She was upset about Daniel not having Monkey,

0:48:460:48:51

she got a bit teary...

0:48:510:48:53

So she told you what an appalling father I am?

0:48:530:48:55

She was worried about Daniel not having his mum around.

0:48:560:48:59

What, that I only ever let him down?

0:48:590:49:02

Look, all I tried to do was to get her to focus on the positive.

0:49:020:49:07

I know what it's like to have dark days! The thing is...

0:49:070:49:10

..you're at the end of your heroic journey to recovery,

0:49:110:49:14

which is great, OK? Chrissie still has a very long way to go.

0:49:140:49:18

Sacha... Look, you have known this woman for five minutes.

0:49:190:49:23

I'm her husband.

0:49:230:49:25

I know exactly what she needs - she needs peace and quiet

0:49:260:49:28

and the love of her family, OK?

0:49:280:49:30

So I think it's best if you stay away.

0:49:310:49:33

Fine. Fine.

0:49:370:49:39

Can you just make sure she gets this?

0:49:490:49:50

Please?

0:49:520:49:53

I know you think I'm a terrible person for walking out on my son.

0:50:160:50:19

I'm not in a position to judge you for that.

0:50:210:50:24

Didn't feel like that earlier.

0:50:240:50:25

I said what I had to say to get through to you

0:50:260:50:28

in your highly emotional state.

0:50:280:50:30

To achieve the best outcome for my patient. And I succeeded.

0:50:300:50:34

It was more than that. I could feel it.

0:50:350:50:38

You cared for him like he was your own son.

0:50:390:50:41

Thank you.

0:50:440:50:45

Well, thanks for that, Naylor. Now the whole group thinks I'm gay.

0:50:500:50:54

Oh, is it cramping your style?

0:50:540:50:55

Who'd have believed it, eh, Jac?

0:50:560:50:58

Yeah, I can do "normal mum" if I put my mind to it.

0:50:580:51:01

Normal? You and normal don't even belong in the same sentence.

0:51:010:51:04

You always have to ruin it, Maconie. Well, look at today!

0:51:040:51:07

First you warn our baby leader of the imminent collapse of her womb.

0:51:070:51:11

Then you shoot holes in her medical expertise.

0:51:110:51:13

Then you make me out to be some kind of...weird, random sperm donor.

0:51:130:51:18

Yeah, it's fun, isn't it?

0:51:180:51:20

Forgot my jumper, sorry.

0:51:200:51:22

What's someone like that Jac woman doing getting pregnant?

0:51:230:51:26

Surprised she didn't do something about it.

0:51:260:51:28

It was so embarrassing, I didn't know where to look.

0:51:280:51:30

And I can't imagine her as a single mother, can you?

0:51:300:51:33

Totally clueless. I pity that poor baby.

0:51:330:51:35

I pity yours.

0:51:350:51:37

We can't all live in your perfect, smug little world

0:51:390:51:42

with your perfect lives and perfect babies.

0:51:420:51:45

Look, Jonny, I'm sorry.

0:51:450:51:47

Our baby has a congenital diaphragmatic hernia.

0:51:470:51:50

She has a 50% chance of surviving birth.

0:51:500:51:53

She could die within days or live with serious complications.

0:51:530:51:57

Which I'm sure you'll all agree is...

0:51:590:52:01

It's really quite something to deal with.

0:52:010:52:03

Jac is an amazing woman and she was incredibly brave to come here today.

0:52:060:52:10

HE SNIFFS

0:52:100:52:12

And I was just hoping you could give her some...encouragement.

0:52:120:52:16

A wee bit of support.

0:52:180:52:19

I hope you're all feeling really proud of yourselves.

0:52:210:52:24

'Doors opening. Lift going up.'

0:52:270:52:30

Mr Malick. Mr Hanssen. Have you a moment?

0:52:300:52:33

Course.

0:52:350:52:36

How did you find today?

0:52:370:52:38

Could hardly have been a more testing case.

0:52:380:52:40

It was tough. But I really learned something.

0:52:420:52:45

I'm not just saying that.

0:52:470:52:48

When you said all that stuff to his mum...

0:52:510:52:52

..it seemed a bit over the top.

0:52:540:52:56

Cruel.

0:52:560:52:58

To be honest, I thought you'd lost it.

0:52:580:53:01

You know, like the old Malick on a bad day.

0:53:010:53:03

But now...I get it.

0:53:050:53:07

Joshua was my patient. My priority. I did what had to be done.

0:53:090:53:14

Yeah, but I could see you really felt for that boy.

0:53:140:53:16

We have to be able to keep some distance from those feelings,

0:53:160:53:19

though, in order to keep perspective, Mr Malick.

0:53:190:53:22

I know you think that's my problem.

0:53:220:53:24

And you might not believe I'm ready yet,

0:53:240:53:26

but I just want to say that I understand.

0:53:260:53:29

Properly this time.

0:53:290:53:30

Mr Malick. I have made my decision.

0:53:320:53:34

You did very well in theatre today.

0:53:360:53:38

But you don't trust that I can handle the pressure - it's OK, I get it.

0:53:380:53:40

Still jumping to conclusions.

0:53:400:53:43

I thought you'd learnt to control those emotional impulses.

0:53:430:53:45

I better go before I get myself into more trouble.

0:53:450:53:48

Not before you give me your formal resignation.

0:53:480:53:50

Mr Hanssen, please...

0:53:560:53:57

You see, I need your resignation before I can offer you

0:53:570:54:00

the post of consultant.

0:54:000:54:01

What are you saying?

0:54:030:54:05

It's mine?

0:54:050:54:06

For real?

0:54:060:54:08

Congratulations.

0:54:110:54:12

Wow...

0:54:140:54:15

Thank you. Thank you so much!

0:54:180:54:21

Mr Malick.

0:54:230:54:25

Ahem. Control that impulse. Got it.

0:54:250:54:30

You know what? I've been thinking about it,

0:54:340:54:36

and you were right the first time, man.

0:54:360:54:38

Those classes are a waste of time.

0:54:380:54:40

I don't know. The flapjacks were good.

0:54:400:54:42

But did you enjoy yourself? Learn anything?

0:54:420:54:45

Apart from the fact that you're a closet homosexual, no.

0:54:450:54:47

Right then. We're not going back.

0:54:470:54:49

Yeah, but what about my game plan, fitting in,

0:54:490:54:51

doing what normal people do?

0:54:510:54:53

See you. Take it easy.

0:54:530:54:55

But we're not normal, Jac. Never have been, never will be.

0:54:550:54:58

And if those are normal mothers, forget it!

0:54:580:55:01

We're better off on our own.

0:55:010:55:02

Hey!

0:55:090:55:10

You need to knock when you come in here, Malick.

0:55:270:55:30

Not any more.

0:55:300:55:31

Say hello to your new consultant.

0:55:320:55:35

Hey, darling! Come here.

0:55:380:55:41

How are you?

0:55:450:55:46

You found Monkey? Well, we bought the biggest ice-cream we could find

0:55:460:55:50

because he's been such a good boy.

0:55:500:55:52

See? I promised you.

0:55:520:55:54

And how was your first day at school? Was it good?

0:55:540:55:59

Teacher said he was absolutely fantastic.

0:55:590:56:01

He had a wonderful time.

0:56:010:56:03

Did she say he was ticklish?

0:56:030:56:06

Did she say? Yes!
