0:00:38 > 0:00:41This is our moment. Let's go for it.
0:00:41 > 0:00:44"I know it's cowardly to leave you a note
0:00:44 > 0:00:47"but I couldn't look you in the face and explain.
0:00:47 > 0:00:50"I love the idea of you,
0:00:50 > 0:00:54"just as you love the idea of me."
0:00:54 > 0:00:5620 milligrams of labetalol, please.
0:00:56 > 0:00:59Sats deteriorating. We're losing her.
0:00:59 > 0:01:01You didn't check the notes properly, did you?
0:01:01 > 0:01:03You say anything, ANYTHING
0:01:03 > 0:01:06and you are out of a job by Christmas, do you understand?
0:01:06 > 0:01:09Wow! Tears at work. Colette Sheward, your boss.
0:01:09 > 0:01:11Here you go.
0:01:11 > 0:01:13It's called the Herzig.
0:01:13 > 0:01:16I think it would significantly improve your quality of life.
0:01:16 > 0:01:19OK then, put it inside me.
0:01:19 > 0:01:23There's too much blood. Oedematous. Pericardial adhesions.
0:01:23 > 0:01:26There's no way we can attach the full Herzig replacement.
0:01:26 > 0:01:29I'm so sorry, Stephen.
0:01:29 > 0:01:32Let's move quickly, please.
0:01:32 > 0:01:35Mo, female, 33, chest trauma. Get her stable, prep for theatre.
0:01:35 > 0:01:38- How long with no output? - 20, 25 minutes?
0:01:38 > 0:01:39Right, got it.
0:01:50 > 0:01:53Yeah, just like last year, I'll fly over after New Year's.
0:01:53 > 0:01:56And you will get two Christmases for the price of one.
0:01:56 > 0:02:00You cool with that? OK. I love you too. Bye.
0:02:00 > 0:02:03Is that a whiff of yuletide romance in the air?
0:02:03 > 0:02:05- That was my son. - Oh, I was hoping for some gossip.
0:02:05 > 0:02:09- What's Sacha doing up here? - Of course, you've been on leave.
0:02:09 > 0:02:12- Mr Spence, have you met our new Clinical Skills Tutor.- Sorry?
0:02:12 > 0:02:16- She means me.- Really? - You sound surprised.
0:02:16 > 0:02:18No, no. It's just unexpected.
0:02:18 > 0:02:21No handshake?
0:02:21 > 0:02:25All right.
0:02:25 > 0:02:28Oh! Come on, Sacha, take it easy! I use these mitts!
0:02:28 > 0:02:32Sorry. Don't know my own strength sometimes...
0:02:32 > 0:02:34Oh, excuse me.
0:02:34 > 0:02:37Word of advice. Do your texting in your own time, OK?
0:02:37 > 0:02:39Patients can't stand it.
0:02:39 > 0:02:41Right, well, I've got a conference to get to.
0:02:41 > 0:02:44- Ah, what's it about? - Oh, just a bunch of drug reps
0:02:44 > 0:02:46and their inimitable combination of bad breath and baloney.
0:02:46 > 0:02:48Enjoy that.
0:02:50 > 0:02:52You too.
0:02:52 > 0:02:54Tom?
0:02:54 > 0:02:57- So, you fell off a train? - Well, I suffer from sciatica.
0:02:57 > 0:02:59I felt a twinge as I was alighting
0:02:59 > 0:03:02and I reached for my back instead of the handrail.
0:03:02 > 0:03:03Ouch!
0:03:03 > 0:03:06Well, we are defined by our choices.
0:03:06 > 0:03:07Careful.
0:03:07 > 0:03:09- Get him next time, babe. - Have to be quicker than that.
0:03:09 > 0:03:12- Listen to Fast Eddie!- Thanks.
0:03:12 > 0:03:15- Is he winding you up?- No.
0:03:15 > 0:03:16If there's one thing that makes my foot itch,
0:03:16 > 0:03:19it's quacks messing with my team. Good morning.
0:03:19 > 0:03:22This is Esther Leach, 40, dislocated shoulder,
0:03:22 > 0:03:24- abrasions to face, back, legs. - What happened?
0:03:24 > 0:03:27- Fell off a train. - What d'you do that for?
0:03:27 > 0:03:31I'm sorry, could I possibly get some more pain relief?
0:03:31 > 0:03:35- I'll sort it. You're due a break, aren't you?- Ah, cheers.
0:03:46 > 0:03:51Morning! Never had you down as a rescue remedy girl.
0:03:51 > 0:03:55- I'm not.- Whatever.
0:03:55 > 0:03:57Late, late, late.
0:03:57 > 0:03:59Whoa, what for?
0:03:59 > 0:04:01Sacha Levy wants me up on Keller.
0:04:01 > 0:04:04Is there a ward in this place you haven't been sent to?
0:04:04 > 0:04:08Think they're trying to tell me something.
0:04:08 > 0:04:13- What is all this stuff, anyway? - Paperwork for Griffin.
0:04:13 > 0:04:15Had any more hassle from Finn's dad?
0:04:15 > 0:04:17Don't get me started!
0:04:17 > 0:04:19Oh, are you still on for beers tonight?
0:04:19 > 0:04:21I don't know. Too many questions. I'll see you later.
0:04:21 > 0:04:24Right then.
0:04:24 > 0:04:26That's it, off you pop.
0:04:26 > 0:04:28- Sorry?- Nothing.
0:04:28 > 0:04:31No, go on.
0:04:31 > 0:04:33- I thought you were my mate. - Who says I'm not?
0:04:33 > 0:04:36So why not back me up, then?
0:04:36 > 0:04:38Look, this is between you and Edward.
0:04:38 > 0:04:40So you think I'm a liar?
0:04:40 > 0:04:42Well, the only thing I know for sure
0:04:42 > 0:04:45is you jumped into bed with the bloke. The rest of it...
0:04:50 > 0:04:53The drugs you gave him for the hepatitis have been working fine,
0:04:53 > 0:04:56but then a few days ago he started to go downhill.
0:04:56 > 0:04:59- You should have come in. - He's always having little dips.
0:04:59 > 0:05:01- Even so.- You know what he's like.
0:05:01 > 0:05:04- Yeah, nothing but trouble.- What? - Won't be told.
0:05:04 > 0:05:08- That'd just be boring.- His mother was exactly the same, God rest her soul.
0:05:08 > 0:05:10- Will you get off me? - Michael's only trying to help...
0:05:10 > 0:05:13- No, it's all right. - Just leave me alone!
0:05:13 > 0:05:15Never seen him like this before.
0:05:15 > 0:05:17Well, the confusion's part of the liver problem.
0:05:17 > 0:05:20- What's my excuse?- Dad? - I'm here, son.
0:05:20 > 0:05:23- What's up with me? - We don't know yet.
0:05:23 > 0:05:26Come on, don't I always sort it out?
0:05:26 > 0:05:31There you go, no worries. Michael's on the case.
0:05:31 > 0:05:33Professor Hope about?
0:05:33 > 0:05:36- Office.- She speaks.
0:05:43 > 0:05:45MESSAGE ALERT
0:05:51 > 0:05:52(No.)
0:05:52 > 0:05:56No!
0:05:56 > 0:05:59- Ah, Elliot. Pick a card.- What?
0:05:59 > 0:06:03- Sorry?- Any card.- What?- Humour me.
0:06:03 > 0:06:07- Fine.- Put it back.
0:06:07 > 0:06:11- How is our latest Herzig patient? - No real change, I'm afraid.
0:06:11 > 0:06:14Shuffle 'em.
0:06:14 > 0:06:19I did say I would keep you informed of any developments.
0:06:19 > 0:06:22Given the circumstances, it's difficult to say
0:06:22 > 0:06:25when we'll see signs of progress.
0:06:25 > 0:06:29I'm afraid it's been a very expensive failure, this procedure...
0:06:29 > 0:06:33What's thousands of pounds between friends? You can stop that now.
0:06:33 > 0:06:35Though, obviously I don't like to think
0:06:35 > 0:06:37in terms of putting a price on a life.
0:06:37 > 0:06:42That's what they make us do every time we walk through these doors.
0:06:42 > 0:06:44They?
0:06:44 > 0:06:48- The Man. The faceless bean counter lurking in the shadows.- Oh.
0:06:48 > 0:06:50- Excellent.- What?
0:06:50 > 0:06:53- My animal man has got back to me. - Animal man?
0:06:53 > 0:06:57I'm exploring the possibility of a petting zoo in the peace garden.
0:06:57 > 0:06:59- Right.- What could be more therapeutic than that?
0:06:59 > 0:07:01I don't know.
0:07:01 > 0:07:04Is there anything else I should know, Elliot?
0:07:04 > 0:07:07- Not at the moment. - Is that your card?- Yes.
0:07:07 > 0:07:11Love a bit of magic. Great for these. Great for this.
0:07:13 > 0:07:16So, how long have you known the Ross'?
0:07:16 > 0:07:18- About four or five years, maybe. - Yeah?
0:07:18 > 0:07:21Yeah, Tom developed familial autoimmune hepatitis
0:07:21 > 0:07:24from when he was a teen, lost his mother to it when he was a kid.
0:07:24 > 0:07:27- It's a rough ride. - Yeah, well. He's a tough cookie.
0:07:27 > 0:07:29- Yeah, well, he's going to need to be.- So, new job, huh?
0:07:29 > 0:07:31Yep, one sec.
0:07:36 > 0:07:38It's the wrong way round.
0:07:38 > 0:07:41- Hi.- Dr Wilde. - Sorry I'm late.
0:07:41 > 0:07:44- Welcome.- Childcare nightmare. - Ah, that old chestnut.
0:07:44 > 0:07:46Late for what, exactly?
0:07:46 > 0:07:50- Gemma's going to be shadowing you. - Since when?
0:07:50 > 0:07:53Since I decided that she needed some more GS action.
0:07:53 > 0:07:55Come on! Like I don't have enough on my plate already.
0:07:55 > 0:07:57It's a done deal, I'm afraid.
0:07:57 > 0:07:59OK, I am just saying it would have been nice
0:07:59 > 0:08:04- to have been kept in the loop. - Yeah, well, you weren't here.
0:08:04 > 0:08:07All right, may as well learn from the master...
0:08:07 > 0:08:11Yep, best knife man in the business...
0:08:11 > 0:08:14Come on.
0:08:14 > 0:08:15Hey, Tom, how are you feeling?
0:08:15 > 0:08:18- He's a lot calmer since he took the drugs.- Much better.
0:08:18 > 0:08:20Any going spare?
0:08:20 > 0:08:22Do I get introduced?
0:08:22 > 0:08:24- I'm Dr Wilde.- I bet you are.
0:08:24 > 0:08:27- Down, boy.- This is Tom.- Hi.
0:08:27 > 0:08:31- And he's trouble with a capital T. - Any news on his tests?
0:08:31 > 0:08:33Yes, we have the results.
0:08:33 > 0:08:36- It's not good news. - Well, it never is with you.
0:08:36 > 0:08:38Will you shut up and listen?
0:08:38 > 0:08:41Your symptoms have been brought on by toxins
0:08:41 > 0:08:43being released into the bloodstream during liver failure.
0:08:43 > 0:08:46- You what?- I am sorry.
0:08:46 > 0:08:49- How bad is it?- Your liver function's at 10%.
0:08:49 > 0:08:51- So I need a transplant. - Yes.
0:08:55 > 0:08:58Well, we knew this might happen one day.
0:08:58 > 0:08:59Oh, so that's all right, then?
0:08:59 > 0:09:02- You're not going to start blubbing, are you?- Leave your dad alone.
0:09:02 > 0:09:05- You know I'm on the donor list. - Er, no, I didn't.
0:09:05 > 0:09:07I put my name down a few months back. OK.
0:09:07 > 0:09:09But the paperwork hasn't come through yet, but...
0:09:09 > 0:09:11- I can chase that up for you.- Thanks.
0:09:11 > 0:09:14And I will put in a call to the transplant database.
0:09:18 > 0:09:21- Liver failure at his age. - You should be delighted.
0:09:21 > 0:09:25- Sorry?- You just wandered, wide-eyed, into a major league case.
0:09:30 > 0:09:33- What are you doing?- Nothing.
0:09:33 > 0:09:36- So what's with the hermit routine? - I don't know what you mean.
0:09:36 > 0:09:38Oh, come off it!
0:09:42 > 0:09:44It's this damned Stephen Parker case.
0:09:44 > 0:09:48Well, skulking in your Batcave isn't going to help.
0:09:48 > 0:09:50I should have listened to you.
0:09:50 > 0:09:52That'd be a first.
0:09:52 > 0:09:56Look at all the damage I've done, trying to impress the new CEO.
0:09:56 > 0:09:58That's not why you operated.
0:09:58 > 0:10:00I was intimidated.
0:10:00 > 0:10:02Flattered.
0:10:02 > 0:10:04I went against my instincts.
0:10:04 > 0:10:08- Not from where I was standing. - And that is unforgiveable.
0:10:15 > 0:10:18Oh!
0:10:18 > 0:10:20- Are you all right? - Think I'm going to be sick.
0:10:20 > 0:10:22- I'll get you a bin...- Oh, no, no.
0:10:22 > 0:10:25- I'd rather do it in the privacy of the ladies, thank you.- Right.
0:10:25 > 0:10:28It's just I'm due in theatre in a minute.
0:10:28 > 0:10:33This chest trauma, you know, with a haematoma the size of...
0:10:33 > 0:10:36a big thing.
0:10:36 > 0:10:40- Possible anoxic brain injury. - Really?- Hmmm.
0:10:40 > 0:10:42I don't suppose you could cover for me?
0:10:42 > 0:10:48- I'm not sure.- Please?
0:10:48 > 0:10:50So how close to the top of the list is he?
0:10:50 > 0:10:52- How long does that take to process? - The man wants to save his son.
0:10:52 > 0:10:56- And there's no way to fast-track him?- OK, thank you.
0:10:56 > 0:10:58- Thank you. Bye.- Any joy?
0:10:58 > 0:11:01- BOTH: No. - So what do we do now?
0:11:01 > 0:11:03Ring around other hospitals.
0:11:03 > 0:11:05How d'you mean?
0:11:05 > 0:11:06If we can find a suitable donor
0:11:06 > 0:11:09and persuade them Tom's a deserving case, then...
0:11:09 > 0:11:11Cut out the middleman, give the liver straight to us.
0:11:11 > 0:11:14- Want me to make the calls?- Yeah. - Yes.
0:11:18 > 0:11:21- Ouch!- Sorry.- I'm in enough discomfort already.
0:11:21 > 0:11:24- Painkillers haven't kicked in yet? - No.
0:11:24 > 0:11:26Right, well, if at first you don't succeed...
0:11:26 > 0:11:29You're giving off stratospheric levels of stressation.
0:11:29 > 0:11:32- And how would you know? - I'm a counsellor.
0:11:32 > 0:11:35- Yeah?- I specialise in self-esteem crisis management.
0:11:35 > 0:11:37Where do I sign?
0:11:37 > 0:11:40Ever tried yogic inhalation for your anxiety?
0:11:40 > 0:11:42- What anxiety?- It's very simple.
0:11:42 > 0:11:44Do you need a hand?
0:11:44 > 0:11:49- Nah, I'm OK.- Listen, you adopt the lotus position.
0:11:49 > 0:11:51OK? Aye-aye.
0:11:51 > 0:11:55Ah, then you take a nice, deep breath in.
0:11:55 > 0:11:58What is this, Fifty Shades Of Puce?
0:11:58 > 0:12:02And then concentrate on finding your inner core.
0:12:02 > 0:12:04I haven't found mine since the '90s.
0:12:04 > 0:12:06OK, I'm sorry but I'm trying to advise your colleague
0:12:06 > 0:12:08on rebuilding her confidence structures.
0:12:08 > 0:12:11- You lost me at "I'm". - My confidence is fine.
0:12:11 > 0:12:12That's what I thought.
0:12:12 > 0:12:14You find these techniques to be a joke?
0:12:14 > 0:12:16No, I just think you might get the same effect
0:12:16 > 0:12:18with a cup of tea and a custard cream.
0:12:18 > 0:12:21- Shoulder's still giving her gyp. - It's no better at all?
0:12:21 > 0:12:24- Worse, if anything. - Should I up the dosage?
0:12:24 > 0:12:26We'll have to put her on a PCA machine if it's having no effect.
0:12:26 > 0:12:29Right.
0:12:29 > 0:12:31OK, done.
0:12:31 > 0:12:34SHE BREATHES IN AND SIGHS
0:12:34 > 0:12:37Come on, it's time for our feng shui class.
0:12:40 > 0:12:44Jac Naylor wasn't wrong about the size of this haematoma. Suction.
0:12:44 > 0:12:46Any thoughts on how we could proceed with Stephen Parker?
0:12:46 > 0:12:48I'm still weighing it up.
0:12:48 > 0:12:52We could wean him off the sedation. Gauge his response?
0:12:52 > 0:12:56Can we focus, please?
0:12:56 > 0:12:58Had the new CEO in earlier.
0:12:58 > 0:13:01- What did he want? - Chapter and verse on the Herzig.
0:13:01 > 0:13:03Really?
0:13:03 > 0:13:05It was like a cross between the Spanish Inquisition
0:13:05 > 0:13:08and the Paul Daniels Magic Show... Stapler.
0:13:08 > 0:13:11Try a card trick on you, did he?
0:13:11 > 0:13:13You've seen him in action?
0:13:13 > 0:13:15No... It was the Paul Daniels reference.
0:13:15 > 0:13:20I wonder if there's a Debbie McGee lurking in the background.
0:13:20 > 0:13:22You're not impressed then?
0:13:22 > 0:13:24Not by someone I hardly know having the power
0:13:24 > 0:13:30to pull the plug on a decade of blood, sweat and tears.
0:13:30 > 0:13:32Nicely done.
0:13:32 > 0:13:33Thank you.
0:13:33 > 0:13:36Pointless, if there's an anoxic brain injury.
0:13:36 > 0:13:39- When will we know? - When she does or doesn't wake up...
0:13:39 > 0:13:432-0 vicryl, please. She's all yours.
0:13:43 > 0:13:45I don't get it.
0:13:45 > 0:13:46Yeah, I know it sounds crazy,
0:13:46 > 0:13:49but his chronic liver condition actually works against him.
0:13:49 > 0:13:51Why?
0:13:51 > 0:13:54There are patients out there with a better chance of survival.
0:13:54 > 0:13:56Michael!
0:13:58 > 0:14:02All right, you're going to be OK, Tom. Let's get him intubated.
0:14:02 > 0:14:06OK. Let's go. That's it.
0:14:10 > 0:14:12Hi, Zos.
0:14:12 > 0:14:15- You.- What you writing?
0:14:19 > 0:14:21- Do you want a drag?- No, thanks.
0:14:21 > 0:14:23Grape flavour. Dead authentic.
0:14:23 > 0:14:25Can't keep away from each other, can you?
0:14:25 > 0:14:27What I wouldn't give for the taste of real smoke.
0:14:27 > 0:14:29Empire builders.
0:14:29 > 0:14:32He's started on about that flaming petting zoo again, you know.
0:14:32 > 0:14:34Stupid idea.
0:14:34 > 0:14:36- Don't suppose you've got a fag on you, have you?- I gave up.
0:14:36 > 0:14:40Good for you. Your mum would have been pleased.
0:14:46 > 0:14:48That went well.
0:14:48 > 0:14:51Are you two religious?
0:14:51 > 0:14:54Well, I'm Jewish...
0:14:54 > 0:14:57What d'you believe in, Michael?
0:14:57 > 0:15:00Do you mind if we say a quick prayer?
0:15:02 > 0:15:06Yeah. What the hell, all the dads together...
0:15:08 > 0:15:12Our father, who art in heaven,
0:15:12 > 0:15:14hallowed be thy name...
0:15:14 > 0:15:17PHONE RINGS
0:15:17 > 0:15:20Gemma Wilde.
0:15:20 > 0:15:23All right, I'll let them know. Thank you.
0:15:23 > 0:15:26- We've got one.- What?- A donor.
0:15:26 > 0:15:28- Eh?- Seriously?- I thought he was way down the list?
0:15:28 > 0:15:31St James' just called. RTA. Perfect match. It's all ours.
0:15:31 > 0:15:35- Yes!- Right, let's get him prepped.
0:15:35 > 0:15:39Cheers, big fella.
0:15:39 > 0:15:43- Ah! I owe you the exotic cocktail of your choice.- Do you?
0:15:43 > 0:15:45My chest trauma patient's doing a good impression of Lazarus.
0:15:45 > 0:15:47No sign of brain injury?
0:15:47 > 0:15:50Nope, she'll be on the Sudoku by the morning.
0:15:50 > 0:15:52Seem to have made a remarkable recovery yourself.
0:15:52 > 0:15:54- Oh, yeah, that passed. - How convenient.
0:15:54 > 0:15:57Well, it was for your own good. Nice to see you back in the saddle.
0:15:57 > 0:16:02I appreciate the nausea masterclass, but my problem remains the same.
0:16:02 > 0:16:06- Does it?- A comatose young boy, a CEO after my blood.
0:16:06 > 0:16:09If you keep acting like Howard Hughes, how's that going to help?
0:16:09 > 0:16:13- I don't know.- Keep this up, you'll lose everything you've worked for.
0:16:22 > 0:16:24Zosia?
0:16:26 > 0:16:27Professor Hope?
0:16:27 > 0:16:30I think your instinct's right, we have to be proactive.
0:16:30 > 0:16:32You want to reduce his use of the ventilator?
0:16:32 > 0:16:35- For a few minutes at a time, then lengthen the gaps.- Right.
0:16:35 > 0:16:37We'll assess him for extubation after that.
0:16:37 > 0:16:39- OK, I'll get started.- Good.
0:16:39 > 0:16:44I think our little success in theatre deserves a spot of lunch.
0:16:44 > 0:16:46Coffee bar, an hour?
0:16:46 > 0:16:51- Great.- Good. Good.
0:16:51 > 0:16:56Hi, I'm Dr Wilde. They're waiting for you upstairs. OK.
0:17:04 > 0:17:06SHE EXHALES
0:17:06 > 0:17:09- Oops.- Haven't you heard of knocking?
0:17:09 > 0:17:10I didn't mean to...
0:17:10 > 0:17:12HE LAUGHS
0:17:12 > 0:17:16- What're you laughing at? - Nothing.
0:17:16 > 0:17:20- Everything all right in here? - Yeah, yeah, yeah. Absolutely.
0:17:20 > 0:17:22Fan-daby-dozy.
0:17:31 > 0:17:33All right, let's get this baby prepped for its new owner.
0:17:33 > 0:17:37You got the paperwork?
0:17:37 > 0:17:42What the...?
0:17:42 > 0:17:45Oh, no!
0:17:45 > 0:17:48- Hey, have you prepped the liver yet? - No.
0:17:48 > 0:17:50- Great, Mr Levy said I could observe. - Did he now?
0:17:50 > 0:17:52- Is that OK with you? - We've got to give it back.
0:17:52 > 0:17:54- Why?- It's the wrong blood type!
0:17:54 > 0:17:58- No. I double-checked everything. - Read it and weep.
0:17:58 > 0:18:00- I don't understand. - Me neither.
0:18:00 > 0:18:04- He was Type AB.- He's Type A!
0:18:04 > 0:18:09Just keep your mouth shut till I get back on the ward.
0:18:22 > 0:18:26- Can I have a word?- In public?- Yeah. - Fire away.
0:18:26 > 0:18:29Have you read anything about Professor Hope's Herzig project
0:18:29 > 0:18:32- other than the financial breakdown? - I have, as a matter of fact.
0:18:32 > 0:18:34- I think you should be backing him to the hilt.- Do you?
0:18:34 > 0:18:37- Not looking to shut it down. - I see.
0:18:37 > 0:18:39Professor Hope has a brilliant mind...
0:18:39 > 0:18:40Yes, I'm well aware of that.
0:18:40 > 0:18:43- One that this hospital cannot afford to lose.- Finished?
0:18:43 > 0:18:46HE SPEAKS POLISH
0:18:46 > 0:18:49Don't you dare talk to me in Polish.
0:18:57 > 0:19:02- Hi, shall we get a table? I'm starving.- Yeah.
0:19:05 > 0:19:09Hope the next guy has more luck than we did.
0:19:09 > 0:19:12Hasn't been a hold-up, has there?
0:19:12 > 0:19:14- Mr Spence is... - Waiting for the onions?
0:19:14 > 0:19:17- What?- Liver. Onions?
0:19:17 > 0:19:22- Yeah, he's trying to sort it out. - I'm sure it'll be fine.
0:19:22 > 0:19:25Hope so.
0:19:25 > 0:19:29You look after him in there for me.
0:19:33 > 0:19:37- Did I see you talking to the new CEO earlier?- Yeah.
0:19:37 > 0:19:41- Trying his act out on you, was he? - No.
0:19:41 > 0:19:43- What were you talking about? - Nothing much.
0:19:43 > 0:19:45Did he mention the Herzig?
0:19:45 > 0:19:48- No, I don't think so. - Or Stephen Parker?
0:19:48 > 0:19:50- That's where our focus should be. - Seems a bit of a coincidence.
0:19:50 > 0:19:53- On Stephen's case.- First he quizzes me, then he comes looking for you.
0:19:53 > 0:19:56Rather than obsessing about number crunchers.
0:19:56 > 0:20:00When someone comes in at the top, they always like to make changes.
0:20:00 > 0:20:03It "sends a message out", apparently.
0:20:03 > 0:20:07My concern is that I may have presented my own head to him
0:20:07 > 0:20:09on a silver platter.
0:20:09 > 0:20:12PHONE BEEPS
0:20:12 > 0:20:16Damn.
0:20:16 > 0:20:18It's funny, isn't it?
0:20:18 > 0:20:21One minute you're trundling along, doing your job,
0:20:21 > 0:20:24wife and kids at home, next minute, bang.
0:20:24 > 0:20:28All change.
0:20:28 > 0:20:31Er, Sam, can you put Mrs Latchford back into bed for me, please?
0:20:31 > 0:20:33Thank you.
0:20:33 > 0:20:37- Hey, why aren't you in theatre? - Mr Spence, I...
0:20:37 > 0:20:40- Do you have any idea how difficult things have been for that kid?- No.
0:20:40 > 0:20:43- How hard he's had to fight?- I know. - What's going on?
0:20:43 > 0:20:45Lost his mom when he was a little boy.
0:20:45 > 0:20:47He's been in and out of hospital since he was a teen.
0:20:47 > 0:20:50- I'll tell Mr Ross myself... - No. I think you've done enough.
0:20:50 > 0:20:53Tell him what?
0:20:53 > 0:20:55Ask my shadow.
0:21:04 > 0:21:07- Trevor.- I believe there's a bit of a hitch?
0:21:07 > 0:21:11- Yeah, why don't you take a seat? - Why do I need to sit down?
0:21:11 > 0:21:13Why do I need to take a seat? He's gone, hasn't he?
0:21:13 > 0:21:16- Has he gone?- No, no.- THEN WHAT?
0:21:16 > 0:21:18I just don't get it.
0:21:18 > 0:21:22Oh, dear. If it wasn't for my controlled-inhalation technique,
0:21:22 > 0:21:25- it'd be a lot worse.- Well, there's not much else I can do.
0:21:25 > 0:21:28Yes, there is, just up the pain relief, you useless...
0:21:28 > 0:21:30- Everything OK, ladies?- Yes.- No!
0:21:30 > 0:21:33- What's wrong?- This nurse, who I might add,
0:21:33 > 0:21:35I've been helping with her own problems all day,
0:21:35 > 0:21:37- has completely messed up my pain regime!- I have not.
0:21:37 > 0:21:39Then why am I in agony?
0:21:39 > 0:21:42- Hey, you can hear you lot in the next hospital!- Sorry.
0:21:42 > 0:21:44- What's the problem? - PCA isn't doing its job.
0:21:44 > 0:21:46She's on the right levels. It's there in black and white.
0:21:51 > 0:21:54- Right, this machine's bust. - Yeah, I knew it.
0:21:54 > 0:21:56It's actually been giving her a double dose of morphine
0:21:56 > 0:21:59- for the last couple of hours.- What?
0:21:59 > 0:22:02- No, no, that can't be right. - Did no-one check it?
0:22:02 > 0:22:04Yes, me.
0:22:04 > 0:22:07- Ah.- Yes, well, she's a nurse, not a techie.
0:22:07 > 0:22:10- It should've been checked before it hit the ward.- Whatever you say.
0:22:10 > 0:22:13- So, you agree it's not my fault? - Who cares whose fault it is?
0:22:13 > 0:22:15- Hear, hear.- Dr Tressler'll give you the once-over,
0:22:15 > 0:22:18but we'll have to take you off the machine for now.
0:22:18 > 0:22:21- What?- Unless you fancy an overdose?
0:22:21 > 0:22:24Thank you.
0:22:28 > 0:22:30- I'm so sorry...- Stop apologising.
0:22:30 > 0:22:32Sorry.
0:22:32 > 0:22:35What I want to know is why a woman, who's had more drugs
0:22:35 > 0:22:38than Judy Garland, is lying there still in agony.
0:22:42 > 0:22:46- So what's our next move? - We go back to the transplant team,
0:22:46 > 0:22:48and see where they're at with your application.
0:22:48 > 0:22:51And if they're still uhmming and aahing?
0:22:51 > 0:22:55- He is getting weaker. - So we're running out of time?
0:22:55 > 0:22:57I think you need to prepare yourself for the worst.
0:23:02 > 0:23:06- I'm sorry I lost my temper. - Forget it.
0:23:06 > 0:23:11I know you've pulled your tripes out for Tom over the years.
0:23:11 > 0:23:14Just doing my job.
0:23:14 > 0:23:16And the rest.
0:23:20 > 0:23:23Thank you. Imogen.
0:23:23 > 0:23:25What's happened to my brother, Mr Hope?
0:23:25 > 0:23:27There were complications.
0:23:27 > 0:23:31- Complications? - In theatre.
0:23:31 > 0:23:33When I spoke to Stephen yesterday, he was buzzing,
0:23:33 > 0:23:36going on about this gadget you were putting in him.
0:23:36 > 0:23:38- The Herzig.- I should have been here. - Sorry?
0:23:38 > 0:23:42- I was in London sitting an exam. - Well, you're here now.
0:23:42 > 0:23:45He said this thing was your own invention?
0:23:45 > 0:23:50Come to my office.
0:23:50 > 0:23:53- I was expecting to find him healthy. - I understand that...
0:23:53 > 0:23:56- He trusted you.- I know. - Was he pushed into this?
0:23:56 > 0:23:59- Not at all.- He's suggestible, Stephen. And he idolised you!
0:23:59 > 0:24:01He'd put his hand in the fire if you told him to!
0:24:01 > 0:24:04Stephen was aware of exactly what the procedure entailed.
0:24:04 > 0:24:07- Are you giving this gadget the hard sell?- Certainly not.
0:24:07 > 0:24:09- A way of saving money? - It costs more than...
0:24:09 > 0:24:11- Everything's about cutbacks. - I promise you.
0:24:11 > 0:24:13You promised Stephen, look where that got him.
0:24:13 > 0:24:15- It was completely unforeseeable... - Is he going to wake up?
0:24:15 > 0:24:18Professor Hope ordered an early EEG which came back clear.
0:24:18 > 0:24:21- We're already working on the rehabilitation plan.- Dr March.
0:24:21 > 0:24:23We've changed the dosage of dopamine and furosemide,
0:24:23 > 0:24:27- which should help the swelling and improve the condition of his heart. - So, he could be all right?
0:24:27 > 0:24:30Hopefully his condition will improve.
0:24:30 > 0:24:34Though he'll still be on the list for a heart transplant.
0:24:34 > 0:24:37He still needs a heart transplant? After everything he's been through?
0:24:37 > 0:24:40- Yes, but... - She says one thing, you say another.
0:24:40 > 0:24:42Stephen is Professor Hope's number one priority.
0:24:42 > 0:24:46- You don't know what you're talking about.- Please... - You should be struck off.
0:24:46 > 0:24:50- That's just ridiculous!- Zosia.- You have no idea what you've done to us.
0:25:07 > 0:25:09Afternoon.
0:25:11 > 0:25:12Problem?
0:25:13 > 0:25:14You could say that.
0:25:14 > 0:25:17Let me guess. Stephen Parker?
0:25:17 > 0:25:19You're no doubt delighted to see another nail
0:25:19 > 0:25:21- hammered into my coffin.- Am I?
0:25:21 > 0:25:25When the inevitable complaint lands on your desk, I'd be grateful
0:25:25 > 0:25:27if you disregard any reference to Dr March.
0:25:27 > 0:25:30Her performance has been exemplary throughout.
0:25:31 > 0:25:34I'm afraid, should the issue arise, that won't be possible.
0:25:34 > 0:25:36Why not?
0:25:36 > 0:25:37Protocol. Sorry.
0:25:39 > 0:25:40- Mr Self.- Elliot.
0:25:40 > 0:25:43Feel free to scrutinise my every move
0:25:43 > 0:25:45but leave my junior doctors out of it.
0:25:45 > 0:25:46I really have no interest in...
0:25:46 > 0:25:49Why should she have a stain on her record because of my actions?
0:25:49 > 0:25:51- Elliot!- I couldn't agree more.
0:25:51 > 0:25:53- Well then.- I can't intervene if...
0:25:53 > 0:25:54Why?
0:25:54 > 0:25:57- Because...- This could be a perfect opportunity to build
0:25:57 > 0:25:59a case against my project.
0:25:59 > 0:26:01I thought we were talking about protecting your F1.
0:26:01 > 0:26:03We are. So why won't you?
0:26:03 > 0:26:04My hands are tied.
0:26:04 > 0:26:06Why? Why?
0:26:06 > 0:26:08Answer me.
0:26:09 > 0:26:10Because he's my father.
0:26:15 > 0:26:17So we're all clear on that, are we?
0:26:20 > 0:26:21Good.
0:26:29 > 0:26:30Elliot.
0:26:33 > 0:26:35As soon as we get you through this...
0:26:36 > 0:26:40..me and you are going out for the mother of all steaks.
0:26:40 > 0:26:4116-ounce rib-eye,
0:26:41 > 0:26:44medium rare, proper chips.
0:26:46 > 0:26:47Count me in.
0:26:50 > 0:26:52Any news?
0:26:52 > 0:26:53Not yet.
0:26:55 > 0:26:57I just want to swap places with him.
0:26:57 > 0:26:59Yeah, I understand.
0:27:00 > 0:27:03You should be carving my liver up right now.
0:27:03 > 0:27:06- I know.- It's my body. Why should I have to wait for permission?
0:27:06 > 0:27:08Trevor, I don't make the rules.
0:27:08 > 0:27:10We're talking about my son's life here.
0:27:12 > 0:27:14Look, I know it's hard to fathom but...
0:27:16 > 0:27:19I've spoken to the database team.
0:27:19 > 0:27:22- And?- They're still not in a position to authorise.
0:27:22 > 0:27:23For crying out loud!
0:27:23 > 0:27:26- They're moving as fast as they can. - Well, it's not fast enough.
0:27:26 > 0:27:28All right, have they given you any idea how long?
0:27:28 > 0:27:30No. No, they didn't.
0:27:30 > 0:27:34My boy is dying in front of my eyes.
0:27:35 > 0:27:36I want that operation.
0:27:36 > 0:27:39- Look, we can't without... - Yes, you can.
0:27:41 > 0:27:42You've got to.
0:27:44 > 0:27:46- Come on, Trevor. - I'm really sorry, Michael...
0:27:46 > 0:27:48- Mr Ross! - ..but if you don't agree to this...
0:27:48 > 0:27:49You are not helping your son.
0:27:49 > 0:27:51- ..I don't know what I'll do. - I'm calling security.
0:27:51 > 0:27:54- Stay where you are. - He's not going to hurt me.- Please!
0:27:54 > 0:27:56- Let him go.- You let me save my son.
0:27:56 > 0:28:00Look, Trevor, I can't do anything for you with a scalpel against my neck.
0:28:00 > 0:28:02It's my right as a father.
0:28:04 > 0:28:06What would you do?
0:28:07 > 0:28:08Answer the question.
0:28:08 > 0:28:11We would all do everything we could to help our kids.
0:28:11 > 0:28:15Look at that face. That lad is all I've got.
0:28:19 > 0:28:20Help me.
0:28:21 > 0:28:24As a dad and a doctor,
0:28:24 > 0:28:25I'm begging you.
0:28:27 > 0:28:30What do you think, Mr Levy?
0:28:30 > 0:28:33- You're not serious?- You heard what he said. What would you do?
0:28:33 > 0:28:35Please.
0:28:35 > 0:28:37This is crazy.
0:28:37 > 0:28:38Is that a yes?
0:28:40 > 0:28:42- No, no, it's a...- Mr Spence?
0:28:42 > 0:28:43It's a maybe.
0:28:43 > 0:28:46- I'll sign anything you want. - All right, come on.
0:28:46 > 0:28:48You know I wouldn't have done anything with that knife.
0:28:48 > 0:28:50Yeah, yeah, of course. Are you all right?
0:28:50 > 0:28:52Let's get on with it.
0:28:52 > 0:28:56- No, I'm checking you out first before we go anywhere near theatre.- Fine.
0:28:56 > 0:28:58Shouldn't you be running the hospital or something?
0:28:58 > 0:29:02I hope you haven't mistaken me for some sour-faced old boot with a clipboard!
0:29:02 > 0:29:04And listen, don't be worrying about Eddie Rocket.
0:29:04 > 0:29:07- Easy for you to say. - He can't touch you.
0:29:07 > 0:29:08It's a bit late for that.
0:29:10 > 0:29:12Am I missing a piece of the jigsaw here?
0:29:12 > 0:29:14Cos I don't like fighting blind.
0:29:14 > 0:29:15I slept with him.
0:29:19 > 0:29:22I get it now.
0:29:22 > 0:29:23- Get what?- You.
0:29:23 > 0:29:25- Is that right?- You're an escapist.
0:29:25 > 0:29:27- Sorry?- Or at least part of you is.
0:29:27 > 0:29:31- You've lost me.- The part you can't stop escaping from your kecks.
0:29:31 > 0:29:32- What?- This isn't Charles Dickens.
0:29:32 > 0:29:35You don't get to have your wicked way with the scullery maid
0:29:35 > 0:29:37and then bugger off back to the big house.
0:29:37 > 0:29:39- Oh, listen, I've heard enough of this.- Good, cos I've finished.
0:29:39 > 0:29:41Who do you think you are?
0:29:41 > 0:29:44You mess with my nurses, you mess with me. Capisce?
0:29:52 > 0:29:55If you're after the heir to the throne, she's in there.
0:29:57 > 0:29:58Dr March.
0:30:01 > 0:30:03Have you been spying on me?
0:30:03 > 0:30:04No.
0:30:04 > 0:30:06Then why didn't you tell me?
0:30:06 > 0:30:08I didn't think it was anyone else's business.
0:30:08 > 0:30:12So, you just stood there while I went on and on about your own father.
0:30:12 > 0:30:13I didn't know what to say.
0:30:13 > 0:30:15D'you realise how compromised I feel?
0:30:15 > 0:30:18- Well, that wasn't my intention. - Never mind how foolish.
0:30:18 > 0:30:20Anything but foolish.
0:30:20 > 0:30:22- How can I ever trust you again? - Professor Hope, people are looking.
0:30:22 > 0:30:25- I thought I'd found someone who shared my vision...- You have.
0:30:27 > 0:30:30And what are you writing in that book?
0:30:30 > 0:30:34- Nothing.- Some sort of dossier, is it?
0:30:34 > 0:30:36- No.- Let me see it.
0:30:36 > 0:30:37Elliot.
0:30:38 > 0:30:40- Give it to me.- It's private.
0:30:40 > 0:30:42I want to read what you've been saying.
0:30:44 > 0:30:46- Please.- Give it to me!
0:30:48 > 0:30:50Thank you.
0:31:00 > 0:31:02How long have you had angina?
0:31:02 > 0:31:05- I don't.- Chest pain, shortness of breath. Sound familiar?
0:31:05 > 0:31:07I thought that was just anxiety.
0:31:07 > 0:31:09Well, the scan shows your arteries are narrowing.
0:31:09 > 0:31:10I'm all right.
0:31:10 > 0:31:13When did this kick off?
0:31:13 > 0:31:14Few months ago.
0:31:14 > 0:31:16You tell the donor team about it?
0:31:16 > 0:31:18I thought it might put them off if...
0:31:18 > 0:31:20Why didn't you come and talk to me about it?
0:31:20 > 0:31:22- You've done enough for us. - I could've fixed you up.
0:31:22 > 0:31:24- Well, this doesn't affect this now, does it?- Of course it does!
0:31:24 > 0:31:26- Why?- You have a heart condition.
0:31:26 > 0:31:29- Well, how bad is it?- Down the line, you're going to need a stent.
0:31:29 > 0:31:31I don't give a monkey's if I live or die.
0:31:31 > 0:31:34- Well, I do. - Great, so get me through it then.
0:31:34 > 0:31:36I don't know.
0:31:36 > 0:31:38- We agreed.- That was before.
0:31:38 > 0:31:40It's my pejorative.
0:31:40 > 0:31:41- Prerogative.- You what?
0:31:41 > 0:31:43Forget it.
0:31:43 > 0:31:45You can't let me down now, Michael.
0:31:45 > 0:31:46I can't ignore the facts.
0:31:46 > 0:31:48There's only one fact that matters here.
0:31:50 > 0:31:51That's saving Tom's life.
0:32:02 > 0:32:03- I've been reading up on you.- Sorry?
0:32:03 > 0:32:06It's amazing what you can find on the internet these days.
0:32:06 > 0:32:08I don't know what you're...
0:32:08 > 0:32:10All this stuff doctors used to keep to themselves.
0:32:10 > 0:32:13- Imogen, please.- I've read your latest mortality rates.
0:32:13 > 0:32:16- Oh.- 5%.- I know.
0:32:16 > 0:32:19So you're putting this machine into people and they're dying?
0:32:19 > 0:32:22Those results aren't directly related to...
0:32:22 > 0:32:23That's double national average.
0:32:23 > 0:32:24It wasn't the device...
0:32:24 > 0:32:27I always thought you were a really lovely bloke.
0:32:27 > 0:32:29And all this time you were just some sort of Doctor Frankenstein.
0:32:29 > 0:32:32Your brother's welfare was my only concern.
0:32:33 > 0:32:36And now it's my only concern.
0:32:36 > 0:32:39Because I'm the one who'll come in every day to talk to him
0:32:39 > 0:32:40and read him books
0:32:40 > 0:32:43and I'm the one who'll spend the rest of our lives caring for him.
0:32:43 > 0:32:45We're still hopeful of bringing him out of...
0:32:45 > 0:32:48I know a lot about the law, Professor Hope.
0:32:49 > 0:32:52Most of it's pointless now.
0:32:52 > 0:32:55And this has got liability written all over it.
0:32:57 > 0:32:59I know you're not happy about the situation.
0:32:59 > 0:33:02- Understatement of the century. - It's the right thing to do.
0:33:02 > 0:33:03No, it is the Michael thing to do.
0:33:03 > 0:33:05If you didn't have the new job to worry about...
0:33:05 > 0:33:08- I'm supposed to not care about my career now?- No!
0:33:08 > 0:33:10Anyway, this isn't about me, it is about ethics.
0:33:10 > 0:33:12Please, will you help me out here?
0:33:12 > 0:33:14Oh, so you want me in on this now, do you?
0:33:14 > 0:33:16You are the best man for the job.
0:33:16 > 0:33:19- I didn't know you valued me so highly.- Will you do it?
0:33:19 > 0:33:22- Why should I?- To save a life.
0:33:22 > 0:33:25- Or lose two. - Not with the pair of us on the case.
0:33:25 > 0:33:27What if it goes wrong?
0:33:27 > 0:33:29Then you were only there as back-up. It was my decision.
0:33:29 > 0:33:32- So it's your funeral.- 100%.
0:33:34 > 0:33:35OK.
0:33:37 > 0:33:39- Why here?- First you don't say a blind word to me...
0:33:39 > 0:33:41- Of all the hospitals! - ..now I can't get rid of you.
0:33:41 > 0:33:44- Answer me.- Zosia, I'm late for yet another meeting.
0:33:44 > 0:33:46Professor Hope thinks I'm some sort of spy.
0:33:46 > 0:33:48Professor Hope is more paranoid than J Edgar Hoover.
0:33:48 > 0:33:51- You could have got a job anywhere. - No, you're wrong.
0:33:51 > 0:33:54- You deliberately followed me here. - I was out of work for eight months.
0:33:54 > 0:33:56I had to get back on track and this was a chance to.
0:33:56 > 0:33:59I just wanted to be left alone. Couldn't you not at least have
0:33:59 > 0:34:02- done that for me?- I did not take this post because you were here.
0:34:02 > 0:34:04- That's why you should have turned it down.- Oh, give me a pen,
0:34:04 > 0:34:06- I'll resign now! - Just keep away from me.
0:34:06 > 0:34:10Fine, Zosia. A ten-yard exclusion zone? Is that enough for you?
0:34:18 > 0:34:20Liver looks healthy.
0:34:20 > 0:34:21What about his heart?
0:34:25 > 0:34:27Yeah, that's fine.
0:34:27 > 0:34:28You never mentioned the angina.
0:34:28 > 0:34:31- No...- What did you think? I wouldn't bother checking the notes?
0:34:31 > 0:34:33- He'd made his mind up.- You really get off on this, don't you?
0:34:33 > 0:34:36- It didn't seem a serious enough problem.- Sticking your mitts
0:34:36 > 0:34:39- into other people's business. - Kind of comes with the territory.
0:34:41 > 0:34:43Right. Let's do a cholangiogram, please.
0:34:46 > 0:34:48- KNOCK AT DOOR - Yeah?
0:34:52 > 0:34:54I have serious doubts about my reasons
0:34:54 > 0:34:56for operating on Stephen Parker.
0:34:57 > 0:35:00- Right.- I don't know if it was vanity, because of all this talk
0:35:00 > 0:35:03of trialling the Herzig in America,
0:35:03 > 0:35:07but I had a vulnerable young man in my care
0:35:07 > 0:35:11and I'm not sure I acted in his best interests.
0:35:11 > 0:35:16Doubt is good. Certainty is for despots and dictators.
0:35:16 > 0:35:17And you should also be aware
0:35:17 > 0:35:20that my mortality figures have risen sharply.
0:35:21 > 0:35:24- OK.- Something I omitted to tell you earlier.
0:35:25 > 0:35:27Well, I appreciate your candour now.
0:35:27 > 0:35:29And if his sister should decide to sue,
0:35:29 > 0:35:31I think she'd have quite a persuasive case.
0:35:31 > 0:35:33Well, let's see what happens, shall we?
0:35:33 > 0:35:35And in the meantime, I'll look at the facts.
0:35:38 > 0:35:41Did you know that Zosia worked here before you took the job?
0:35:43 > 0:35:44What kind of father wouldn't?
0:35:56 > 0:35:58It's OK, carry on.
0:35:58 > 0:36:01No, he's all yours.
0:36:01 > 0:36:02Just need to check his obs.
0:36:03 > 0:36:06You wouldn't think he was only 21 years old, would you?
0:36:07 > 0:36:11- This kind of condition takes its toll.- Tell me about it.
0:36:11 > 0:36:13What exams were you doing?
0:36:13 > 0:36:14Law.
0:36:14 > 0:36:16- Re-sits.- How did they go?
0:36:18 > 0:36:20- OK.- That's good.
0:36:20 > 0:36:22I suppose. Not that it matters.
0:36:22 > 0:36:23Why not?
0:36:26 > 0:36:29He was in hospital for weeks when I first sat them.
0:36:29 > 0:36:30Must be difficult trying to revise.
0:36:30 > 0:36:33Or maybe it's just an easy excuse for failure.
0:36:33 > 0:36:35I'm sure that's not the case.
0:36:35 > 0:36:36Who knows?
0:36:36 > 0:36:39Sounds like they went better this time.
0:36:40 > 0:36:43- Even if I pass, what then? - You just have to wait and see.
0:36:43 > 0:36:46I can't actually believe I thought I could have a life for myself.
0:36:46 > 0:36:48I'm sure you can.
0:36:49 > 0:36:51My mum was a solicitor and, erm...
0:36:53 > 0:36:58..I used to think she looked so cool going to work in her two-piece.
0:36:59 > 0:37:02- You could still work.- What if he dies?
0:37:02 > 0:37:05- I don't think...- Some sister I am.
0:37:05 > 0:37:08- You are allowed to...- All the neighbours think I'm a saint.
0:37:10 > 0:37:12Must be tough, doing this on your own.
0:37:13 > 0:37:15Tough on your dreams, yeah.
0:37:27 > 0:37:28What?
0:37:35 > 0:37:37He packed a pair of my pyjamas.
0:37:42 > 0:37:44I'm so sorry, Stephen.
0:37:48 > 0:37:49Can you leave, please?
0:37:56 > 0:37:57Guard that graft with your life.
0:38:00 > 0:38:03Right, let's get Tom under, please. Thank you.
0:38:03 > 0:38:05OK, let's close him up. Get ready for phase two.
0:38:07 > 0:38:08Tell me this is a wind-up.
0:38:08 > 0:38:11- What on earth?- I don't know.
0:38:12 > 0:38:15You are officially a total disaster area.
0:38:15 > 0:38:17The reason this has happened is
0:38:17 > 0:38:19because I've spent all day thinking about Finn and his dad
0:38:19 > 0:38:22and what the hell I'm going to do with my life instead of my patients.
0:38:22 > 0:38:25OK, so now you need to get back in there
0:38:25 > 0:38:27and show them who you really are.
0:38:27 > 0:38:30- And who's that?- A chippy single mum,
0:38:30 > 0:38:32desperately clinging to the remnants of her career.
0:38:34 > 0:38:37- Ever considered joining the Samaritans?- Look, seriously.
0:38:37 > 0:38:39You fall off a bike, you get back on it, right?
0:38:39 > 0:38:41And other cliches.
0:38:41 > 0:38:44- They're only cliches cos they're true.- And there's another one.
0:38:44 > 0:38:45Go.
0:39:05 > 0:39:08So how are you feeling?
0:39:08 > 0:39:10Well, I can't have surgery until tomorrow
0:39:10 > 0:39:11because of the damn machine.
0:39:11 > 0:39:14- I'm afraid that can't be helped. - And the pain?
0:39:14 > 0:39:16Yeah, how is the sciatica?
0:39:16 > 0:39:18I'm talking about my shoulder.
0:39:18 > 0:39:21- I thought you said you had a bad back.- Years of it.
0:39:21 > 0:39:23I can't find any record of any treatment.
0:39:23 > 0:39:26- I've just learned to live with it. - And you've never been to see
0:39:26 > 0:39:27- your GP?- I'm so time poor.
0:39:27 > 0:39:29- Really?- I'm a businesswoman.
0:39:30 > 0:39:33I thought you said you were a counsellor?
0:39:33 > 0:39:36The counselling is my business.
0:39:36 > 0:39:37How have you coped?
0:39:37 > 0:39:39How does anyone cope?
0:39:39 > 0:39:41- Pills?- Yes.- How many?
0:39:41 > 0:39:42I don't know.
0:39:42 > 0:39:44You must have some idea.
0:39:44 > 0:39:47- A day? A week?- A day.
0:39:48 > 0:39:51- What is this?- Eight, ten?
0:39:52 > 0:39:55I don't appreciate this line of questioning.
0:39:55 > 0:39:57- More even?- Or your tone.
0:39:57 > 0:39:59Shall I go get the doctor then?
0:39:59 > 0:40:01Wait!
0:40:01 > 0:40:03Cos I don't think that they will operate if...
0:40:03 > 0:40:05All right!
0:40:05 > 0:40:08Dozens, maybe...
0:40:08 > 0:40:1020, 30.
0:40:10 > 0:40:12No wonder the PCA machine didn't work.
0:40:12 > 0:40:15- Have you ever had sciatica?- No.
0:40:15 > 0:40:20Because I have to sit all day, every day, listening to those people
0:40:20 > 0:40:22- drone on.- Drone on?
0:40:22 > 0:40:25Meanwhile, there's a red-hot poker stabbing me in the back.
0:40:25 > 0:40:27You're going to kill yourself.
0:40:29 > 0:40:31You think I don't know that?
0:40:31 > 0:40:33I'm going to get you some help, Esther.
0:40:34 > 0:40:36I can wean myself off them.
0:40:37 > 0:40:39I'm sorry.
0:40:42 > 0:40:45I can't be registered as...
0:40:45 > 0:40:46What?
0:40:47 > 0:40:49Think about my work.
0:40:51 > 0:40:54I wouldn't be doing my job properly if I kept my mouth shut.
0:40:58 > 0:41:01You will still come and see me, won't you?
0:41:01 > 0:41:03- I don't know.- Oh!
0:41:03 > 0:41:05I can work wonders for your self-esteem.
0:41:15 > 0:41:17Hi. Erm...
0:41:19 > 0:41:22..I just came to give you back your book.
0:41:22 > 0:41:23Thanks.
0:41:24 > 0:41:25Did you read it?
0:41:27 > 0:41:31I'm not some font of all wisdom, you know.
0:41:31 > 0:41:33I'll take that as a yes.
0:41:33 > 0:41:36You seem to have written down everything I've said
0:41:36 > 0:41:37since we first met.
0:41:37 > 0:41:40Just the things I can learn from.
0:41:40 > 0:41:42So much for my dossier theory.
0:41:42 > 0:41:43I'll stop if it bothers you.
0:41:43 > 0:41:47No, no, I just wondered why, that's all.
0:41:53 > 0:41:56My mum had...
0:41:59 > 0:42:01..a beautiful way with words.
0:42:04 > 0:42:07If I ever came to her with a problem she'd know exactly how to
0:42:07 > 0:42:08make it feel smaller.
0:42:11 > 0:42:13And you wrote all those things down?
0:42:19 > 0:42:20No, I didn't.
0:42:23 > 0:42:24And then she died.
0:42:26 > 0:42:27I'm sorry.
0:42:30 > 0:42:33And bits of her are starting to fade away...
0:42:37 > 0:42:38..words,
0:42:38 > 0:42:39looks...
0:42:41 > 0:42:43..smiles.
0:42:44 > 0:42:46Maybe you could write it all down now.
0:42:46 > 0:42:50I try but it doesn't come out right.
0:42:50 > 0:42:52It sounds like me, not her.
0:42:52 > 0:42:54And what about your father?
0:42:54 > 0:42:56I really don't want to talk about that.
0:42:56 > 0:42:59Things are so bad you don't even have the same name?
0:42:59 > 0:43:01I prefer my mother's.
0:43:01 > 0:43:03Why keep him a secret?
0:43:03 > 0:43:06I just want to get on with my work.
0:43:06 > 0:43:08- You must have known it would get out...- Is that too much to ask?
0:43:10 > 0:43:12No. No. Of course not.
0:43:15 > 0:43:16Shall we?
0:43:21 > 0:43:24- Washed your hands with Gemma Wilde, have you?- After a mistake like that?
0:43:24 > 0:43:26- Yeah, fair enough. - Damn right it is.
0:43:26 > 0:43:29Given the towering professional standards you've set over the years.
0:43:29 > 0:43:32- Excuse me?- What with the plastics scandal.
0:43:32 > 0:43:35All right, what's that got to do with her total incompetence?
0:43:35 > 0:43:37Not to mention your spotless personal life.
0:43:37 > 0:43:41Well, didn't realise you were keeping a file on me.
0:43:41 > 0:43:43Now you do.
0:43:43 > 0:43:44Clamp.
0:43:53 > 0:43:55Anything I can get you, Dr March?
0:43:55 > 0:43:57Or is there a more official title you go by?
0:43:57 > 0:44:00How about Daddy's Girl?
0:44:00 > 0:44:02Professor Hope! He's awake.
0:44:04 > 0:44:06Let's extubate him.
0:44:06 > 0:44:07HE GAGS
0:44:07 > 0:44:09OK, there we go.
0:44:09 > 0:44:10OK. Right.
0:44:12 > 0:44:14There we go, OK.
0:44:14 > 0:44:15OK, all done.
0:44:20 > 0:44:26I'm so sorry, Stephen. All I could think of was myself.
0:44:26 > 0:44:29I don't know what I'd do without you.
0:44:29 > 0:44:30Welcome back.
0:44:34 > 0:44:37Let's get this useless piece of offal out of here.
0:44:40 > 0:44:43- What are you doing here?- I wanted to see how the transplant was going.
0:44:47 > 0:44:49Gemma, I think it's best if you go back to the ward.
0:44:52 > 0:44:53OK.
0:45:17 > 0:45:19RAPID BEEPING
0:45:19 > 0:45:21I need the crash trolley!
0:45:29 > 0:45:32Charged to 140, clear.
0:45:36 > 0:45:37Charge again.
0:45:37 > 0:45:39Congratulations.
0:45:39 > 0:45:41What for?
0:45:41 > 0:45:42We did it.
0:45:42 > 0:45:44We?
0:45:44 > 0:45:45Me and you.
0:45:45 > 0:45:47This was your show.
0:45:47 > 0:45:49- Couldn't have done it without you. - No?
0:45:49 > 0:45:52- We make a great team. - Do we?
0:45:52 > 0:45:54- And I am delighted you got the new job.- Really.
0:45:54 > 0:45:57- Yeah, could be the start of something beautiful.- Yeah?
0:45:57 > 0:45:59The Two Musketeers.
0:45:59 > 0:46:01All for one and one for all.
0:46:01 > 0:46:02Ow!
0:46:02 > 0:46:04Ow, my hand.
0:46:04 > 0:46:07What is it with your fist and my face?
0:46:07 > 0:46:09- So we're a team, are we? - That hurt.
0:46:09 > 0:46:12- "Our time together was so special." - What?
0:46:12 > 0:46:14- "I will never forget you." - You knew?
0:46:14 > 0:46:16- Mills & Boon, eat your heart out. - How long?
0:46:16 > 0:46:19- You tried to run away with my wife. - Ex-wife.
0:46:19 > 0:46:21- That's not the point. - I know it looks bad.
0:46:21 > 0:46:23- You're supposed to be my friend. - I am.
0:46:23 > 0:46:26- I confided in you. - Well, so did she.
0:46:26 > 0:46:28The Two Musketeers? Have you no shame?
0:46:28 > 0:46:30Why didn't you say something earlier?
0:46:30 > 0:46:34I didn't know what to say. Or when, or how.
0:46:34 > 0:46:35Look, I really didn't mean to.
0:46:35 > 0:46:37So what was the plan?
0:46:37 > 0:46:39Couldn't have your own family so you thought,
0:46:39 > 0:46:41"Oh, I know what, I'll nick Sacha's?"
0:46:41 > 0:46:44- That's harsh. - When did it start? The truth.
0:46:44 > 0:46:46After you two split up, I swear.
0:46:46 > 0:46:48And of course your word is your bond.
0:46:48 > 0:46:52If you read the letter you know she turned me down anyway.
0:46:52 > 0:46:54Oh, well, that's all right, then, isn't it?
0:46:54 > 0:46:57You could have broken my nose.
0:46:57 > 0:46:59Good.
0:47:01 > 0:47:03Yes, what do you want?
0:47:03 > 0:47:06I managed to shock him within seconds of going into arrest.
0:47:06 > 0:47:07Well, that's something.
0:47:07 > 0:47:09Well done.
0:47:09 > 0:47:13OK, let's get a scan, find out what the damage is.
0:47:13 > 0:47:15What happened to your nose?
0:47:16 > 0:47:19Esther, this is Clare, she's one of our addiction counsellors.
0:47:19 > 0:47:21- Hello.- I tried that course, it wasn't for me.
0:47:21 > 0:47:23Esther's a confidence woman.
0:47:23 > 0:47:25Rebuilding confidence structures, actually.
0:47:25 > 0:47:27Right, I'll leave you two to chat.
0:47:30 > 0:47:31Is she OK?
0:47:31 > 0:47:34- Nothing a nice plate of cold turkey can't fix.- Poor cow.
0:47:34 > 0:47:36That was good nursing.
0:47:36 > 0:47:39- It was staring me in the face. - Yeah, well, I didn't suss it.
0:47:39 > 0:47:40Maybe I should tell Edward that.
0:47:40 > 0:47:43- You let me worry about Mr Ed. - Yeah?
0:47:43 > 0:47:46Yeah. He puts a foot wrong he'll be dealing with the Colettenator.
0:47:55 > 0:47:59Don't let me come between a man and his pastrami on rye.
0:47:59 > 0:48:01I'll have it later.
0:48:01 > 0:48:04I see Stephen Parker's back from the brink.
0:48:04 > 0:48:08- Yes.- So no billion-dollar lawsuit in the offing?
0:48:08 > 0:48:09Apparently not.
0:48:11 > 0:48:13Been reading up on your recent case history.
0:48:13 > 0:48:14Have you?
0:48:14 > 0:48:17To get some perspective on your mortality rates.
0:48:17 > 0:48:20- And? - Quite simple, really.
0:48:20 > 0:48:23- Is it? - Down to a lack of cowardice.
0:48:23 > 0:48:25What?
0:48:25 > 0:48:29Look, anyone can take the easy route and boost their figures.
0:48:29 > 0:48:32I mean, it's like a private school coming top of the league tables.
0:48:32 > 0:48:34Big wow.
0:48:34 > 0:48:37It takes a lot more to stick your head above the parapet
0:48:37 > 0:48:40and perform the high-risk ops.
0:48:40 > 0:48:42You're going to lose the odd patient,
0:48:42 > 0:48:46but only so that us mere mortals can save thousands more.
0:48:46 > 0:48:48So you're not going to close me down.
0:48:48 > 0:48:50Never even entered my head.
0:48:52 > 0:48:55- Thank you. - Carry on, Doctor.
0:49:00 > 0:49:02Hey.
0:49:02 > 0:49:04So they brought your boy back on to the ward.
0:49:04 > 0:49:05How's he doing?
0:49:05 > 0:49:07Good.
0:49:07 > 0:49:09So it worked.
0:49:09 > 0:49:11It's early days but I'm optimistic.
0:49:13 > 0:49:14Brilliant.
0:49:14 > 0:49:16So now we gotta talk about you.
0:49:18 > 0:49:20I believe I had a heart attack?
0:49:20 > 0:49:22Mmm-hm. It was a big one.
0:49:24 > 0:49:26Have I put you in the doghouse?
0:49:26 > 0:49:27Don't worry about that.
0:49:27 > 0:49:29So what's the score?
0:49:29 > 0:49:32Did a lot of damage that's impossible to fix.
0:49:32 > 0:49:34And the bad news(?)
0:49:35 > 0:49:37We'll do what we can to manage it
0:49:37 > 0:49:41but there's a very strong chance you'll have another one soon.
0:49:43 > 0:49:44Any idea when?
0:49:44 > 0:49:45Couldn't say.
0:49:47 > 0:49:50Just want to make sure I've got a clean pair of undies on first.
0:49:52 > 0:49:55I can't guarantee you're going to survive the next one.
0:49:56 > 0:49:57Come here.
0:50:00 > 0:50:04Do you know what, Mike? I don't care.
0:50:05 > 0:50:09Because we did it, we saved my son.
0:50:11 > 0:50:13And that's good enough for me.
0:50:22 > 0:50:24- How's he doing? - Which one?
0:50:24 > 0:50:26Both.
0:50:26 > 0:50:27Well, son's got a great chance,
0:50:27 > 0:50:31Dad might just see out one last Christmas.
0:50:31 > 0:50:32I'm sorry.
0:50:32 > 0:50:34So you keep saying.
0:50:34 > 0:50:36Now I just think maybe in the excitement of it all
0:50:36 > 0:50:39I just really wanted to believe we'd pulled it off.
0:50:39 > 0:50:41Or maybe your mind was elsewhere.
0:50:42 > 0:50:44Or all of the above.
0:50:44 > 0:50:47- Take it from the expert, you gotta sort yourself out.- I know.
0:50:47 > 0:50:51I mean, imagine if it was your kid needed a transplant.
0:50:51 > 0:50:52Don't say that.
0:50:55 > 0:50:57Mr Spence.
0:50:57 > 0:50:58Good conference?
0:50:58 > 0:51:00I believe you've had quite a day.
0:51:00 > 0:51:01News travels fast.
0:51:01 > 0:51:03Mr Self would like a word.
0:51:06 > 0:51:07KNOCK ON DOOR
0:51:07 > 0:51:09Yeah. Ah, you just caught me.
0:51:09 > 0:51:11All right, let's get this over with.
0:51:13 > 0:51:14Boxercise?
0:51:14 > 0:51:16Something like that.
0:51:16 > 0:51:17Ah.
0:51:17 > 0:51:22So, Serena tells me you've rewritten our hospital's transplant policy.
0:51:22 > 0:51:25I saved a boy's life, if that's what you're talking about.
0:51:25 > 0:51:27And left his father at death's door from what I hear.
0:51:27 > 0:51:30He chose to take the risk. And it's a decision he stands by.
0:51:30 > 0:51:32And what about the son, did he consent?
0:51:32 > 0:51:34He was busy dying of liver failure at the time.
0:51:34 > 0:51:38- Answer for everything.- What would you have done?- I certainly wouldn't have...- Let me guess.
0:51:38 > 0:51:41Weighed up the effects on your precious career and left the poor guy to rot.
0:51:41 > 0:51:45- Maybe we should give you a ward to yourself and leave you to run riot. - Now we're talking.
0:51:45 > 0:51:48- The make-it-up-as-you-go-along unit. - Kids, kids, have we finished?
0:51:52 > 0:51:56Good. Because it all seems pretty straightforward to me.
0:51:57 > 0:52:01Serena, we're going to get dog's abuse from the transplant crew,
0:52:01 > 0:52:04so I'd be grateful if you'd firefight that for me, please.
0:52:04 > 0:52:05Thanks.
0:52:05 > 0:52:07Michael.
0:52:07 > 0:52:11You crazy maverick, you do not get to do this in my hospital.
0:52:11 > 0:52:14Now I'm not risk averse but I am A-hole averse.
0:52:14 > 0:52:20I now have to enter into the realms of tedium and launch an inquiry.
0:52:20 > 0:52:23So you, my friend, given your colourful history,
0:52:23 > 0:52:25are on a three-month suspension.
0:52:25 > 0:52:26No, I'm not.
0:52:26 > 0:52:28How's that?
0:52:28 > 0:52:31- I was the victim of a serious assault by a patient.- What?
0:52:31 > 0:52:33And I'm so traumatised that I'm taking compassionate leave.
0:52:33 > 0:52:36- You're taking the p... - Fine.
0:52:36 > 0:52:39So long as you're not on the premises wielding a scalpel,
0:52:39 > 0:52:41I'm happy.
0:52:41 > 0:52:43What I did today was the right thing.
0:52:43 > 0:52:45It's not a question of right or wrong.
0:52:47 > 0:52:48This your philosophy too?
0:52:50 > 0:52:52Enjoy your break.
0:52:52 > 0:52:56And remember, if and when you return, you're on your last chance.
0:53:20 > 0:53:23Hey, what're you up to?
0:53:23 > 0:53:25I'm going.
0:53:26 > 0:53:27Where?
0:53:27 > 0:53:29I'm leaving, OK?
0:53:29 > 0:53:30You're kidding.
0:53:32 > 0:53:35I'm bad for this place, and it is very bad for me.
0:53:35 > 0:53:38- Look, come on. Today... - It's not just today.
0:53:39 > 0:53:42I'm out before Finn gets up, I'm back after he's in bed.
0:53:42 > 0:53:45- We're strangers. - Hardly.
0:53:45 > 0:53:48Now his dad's sniffing round. How long before he gets his foot
0:53:48 > 0:53:50in the door and starts asking for shared custody?
0:53:50 > 0:53:52You cannot give up your career because...
0:53:52 > 0:53:54Yes, I can.
0:53:54 > 0:53:57And how do you plan to eat in this brave new world.
0:53:57 > 0:53:59Maybe I'll become a GP.
0:53:59 > 0:54:03What, sat behind a desk handing out amoxicillin all day?
0:54:03 > 0:54:05Having tea with my son every night.
0:54:05 > 0:54:06- You're mad.- No.
0:54:08 > 0:54:10I just want to be a proper mum.
0:54:13 > 0:54:15I'll see you.
0:54:17 > 0:54:22I am going home, I'm going to book my ticket and I will see you tomorrow.
0:54:22 > 0:54:25I know, it's going to be the best Christmas ever.
0:54:26 > 0:54:27Charlie, I love you.
0:54:27 > 0:54:31OK, guys, just remember, eyes and ears. OK, good.
0:54:31 > 0:54:33See you in AAU.
0:54:34 > 0:54:35Dispensing wisdom, huh?
0:54:35 > 0:54:37A platitude for every occasion, me.
0:54:37 > 0:54:40Well, you'll be glad to know I'm outta here for a couple of months.
0:54:40 > 0:54:44- Oh.- Yeah, going to the States, seeing the kids.
0:54:44 > 0:54:47Well, that'll make a change for them, having their dad around.
0:54:49 > 0:54:51Look, I'm sorry for everything, I got carried away.
0:54:53 > 0:54:54Is that your excuse?
0:54:56 > 0:55:00I'm looking for something and for a minute I thought Chrissie was it.
0:55:02 > 0:55:05I just feel so...disappointed.
0:55:08 > 0:55:09I do that to people.
0:55:11 > 0:55:14You've got to stop thinking about yourself so much.
0:55:15 > 0:55:17I'm trying.
0:55:18 > 0:55:21Otherwise those kids'll grow up to hate you.
0:55:22 > 0:55:23I'll see ya.
0:55:29 > 0:55:32OK, let's go to AAU.
0:55:33 > 0:55:36- Mum. - Hello.
0:55:42 > 0:55:44Come on you, let's go home.
0:56:00 > 0:56:02- Hey. You ready? - Yeah.
0:56:02 > 0:56:04Come on.
0:56:08 > 0:56:10How goes the battle?
0:56:10 > 0:56:12Not bad, you?
0:56:12 > 0:56:13Up and down.
0:56:13 > 0:56:15Did you see your zoo man?
0:56:15 > 0:56:17Yeah. I kid you not, his name is Noah.
0:56:17 > 0:56:21I'm going to have you sectioned one of these days.
0:56:21 > 0:56:23Do you fancy a curry?
0:56:23 > 0:56:24Now you're talking...
0:56:24 > 0:56:26SIREN WAILS
