0:00:39 > 0:00:42- Looking good.- As long as the real thing doesn't disappoint.

0:00:42 > 0:00:44I told Harry it's not his baby.

0:00:44 > 0:00:46Why did you do that?

0:00:46 > 0:00:49You were right. We shouldn't find out. I want us to have a family.

0:00:49 > 0:00:52There's a bleed in the suture line. BP's falling.

0:00:52 > 0:00:55- Elliot? - Professor Hope, take a break.

0:00:56 > 0:00:57I'm sorry.

0:00:57 > 0:00:59Are we continuing, Ms Naylor?

0:00:59 > 0:01:01Of course. Why wouldn't we be?

0:01:01 > 0:01:03I don't want an MRI because I've already had one.

0:01:03 > 0:01:05What did it show?

0:01:05 > 0:01:07A growth. On the brain.

0:01:21 > 0:01:23Mmm!

0:01:23 > 0:01:25LIGHT SWITCH SNAPS

0:01:25 > 0:01:27Bed.

0:01:28 > 0:01:31CHAIR BUZZES NOISILY

0:01:42 > 0:01:44- Bed.- I can't sleep.

0:01:46 > 0:01:48Natural predators.

0:01:48 > 0:01:51Fascinating. Absolutely fascinating.

0:01:51 > 0:01:55You know, I thought of becoming a palaeontologist when I was a boy.

0:01:55 > 0:01:57You still could. After the op.

0:01:57 > 0:02:00Or you could go on that road trip around America that you

0:02:00 > 0:02:03and Charlie Fairhead are always talking about.

0:02:03 > 0:02:06Or you could start that jazz band.

0:02:06 > 0:02:09The world definitely doesn't have enough of those.

0:02:09 > 0:02:14No, no. I'm a hearts man.

0:02:14 > 0:02:18Scrubs on. Back to work.

0:02:18 > 0:02:20That would suit me to a T.

0:02:22 > 0:02:27Ah, here. Cute, fluffy seals being eaten alive?

0:02:52 > 0:02:54Mr Self. I've booked Professor Hope's pre-op MRI.

0:02:54 > 0:02:57Love the way you find joy in the simple things.

0:02:57 > 0:03:00What's this I hear about you getting cold feet?

0:03:00 > 0:03:01Thanks, Dom(!)

0:03:01 > 0:03:04Speak up, people in comas didn't hear you twist my words.

0:03:04 > 0:03:07I'm more than approachable, am I not?

0:03:07 > 0:03:09I operated on someone I cared about once...

0:03:09 > 0:03:11It wasn't my finest hour.

0:03:11 > 0:03:14You won't need your smelling salts. Professor Hope is not going to die.

0:03:14 > 0:03:18The doughnut that's going to get him has not yet been fried.

0:03:21 > 0:03:24Now, watch out if Sister Javi offers you a bed bath.

0:03:24 > 0:03:26She loves a man in jeans.

0:03:26 > 0:03:30Is that who the chocolates are for, you old devil, you?

0:03:30 > 0:03:32Oh, Emma made you a card.

0:03:33 > 0:03:36Oh, fantastic. Young British artists.

0:03:38 > 0:03:40Jac, look isn't that wonderful?

0:03:40 > 0:03:43A sixth-month-old wrote words. Really?

0:03:43 > 0:03:45No. But she is doing lots of things.

0:03:45 > 0:03:49Well, I shall treasure it. Thank you.

0:03:49 > 0:03:52We'll see you back up here after recovery. You'll do great.

0:03:52 > 0:03:55Right. Bye, then. No wild parties while I'm away.

0:04:02 > 0:04:04- Thank you.- Bye.

0:04:07 > 0:04:08Here we are.

0:04:08 > 0:04:10Thanks.

0:04:12 > 0:04:17Peppermint tea? Operation pregnancy well under way, I see.

0:04:17 > 0:04:19And iron-rich roughage too?

0:04:19 > 0:04:23- It was a pint of stout when I was expecting Elinor.- Ssh!

0:04:23 > 0:04:27Don't worry. Secret Squirrel won't breathe a word. Ssh.

0:04:27 > 0:04:31Though I take it this time you've both got booked off this afternoon for the 12-week scan?

0:04:33 > 0:04:36Right, well, we're going to need a good cover story.

0:04:36 > 0:04:40I've got it. Code word "Zumba class" it is.

0:04:43 > 0:04:47She'll be giving us Granny Campbell's placenta recipes next.

0:04:47 > 0:04:50In just a few hours we can tell the whole world.

0:04:50 > 0:04:52Make all this real, yeah?

0:04:53 > 0:04:54Go on without me.

0:04:57 > 0:05:00Right, we'll take an MRI now.

0:05:00 > 0:05:02Then when we're in theatre we'll download it

0:05:02 > 0:05:07on to a navigation machine, so we can pinpoint the tumour, blah, blah...

0:05:07 > 0:05:10Don't know why I'm telling the basics to a Professor.

0:05:10 > 0:05:12Very whizzy bits of kit.

0:05:13 > 0:05:14Will your children be here?

0:05:14 > 0:05:18No, I didn't want to worry them over a routine procedure.

0:05:18 > 0:05:20Right. You will have someone, though?

0:05:20 > 0:05:23- Yes. Jac Naylor.- Oh.

0:05:23 > 0:05:25She's quite the desert island comrade.

0:05:25 > 0:05:27Capable of building rafts and foraging for food.

0:05:27 > 0:05:29OK. Shall we?

0:05:32 > 0:05:33Beam me up, Scotty!

0:05:48 > 0:05:49Amy?

0:05:51 > 0:05:52What are you doing?

0:05:52 > 0:05:54Are you OK?

0:05:54 > 0:05:55I'll get you some hydrosalts.

0:05:55 > 0:05:58Why don't you just take the day off and I'll meet you at the scan.

0:05:58 > 0:06:00When are you going to get real?

0:06:04 > 0:06:05Professor Hope?

0:06:08 > 0:06:09Professor Hope?

0:06:09 > 0:06:11You nodded off.

0:06:11 > 0:06:13Oh, I'm sorry.

0:06:14 > 0:06:15Not to worry.

0:06:15 > 0:06:19Patients ruining hundreds of pounds' worth of MRI footage, happens all the time.

0:06:19 > 0:06:22The, er...

0:06:22 > 0:06:25sorry, the magic of dinosaurs kept me awake on a school night.

0:06:25 > 0:06:29OK. Let's go again, please, and this time with no motion artefact.

0:06:34 > 0:06:36At least he hasn't fallen asleep this time.

0:06:41 > 0:06:42Ah.

0:06:43 > 0:06:45- That's...- Yes.

0:06:50 > 0:06:51Do you wish this wasn't happening?

0:06:51 > 0:06:53No.

0:06:53 > 0:06:55- You wouldn't change it?- No.

0:06:56 > 0:06:59Look, what do you want me to do? Leave you?

0:06:59 > 0:07:01That is what men do, isn't it?

0:07:01 > 0:07:03I mean, if that's what you want, do it now. Please.

0:07:03 > 0:07:06Before we start making announcements and playing happy families.

0:07:06 > 0:07:09Do you want to stop telling me how I should act?

0:07:09 > 0:07:14The baby's here. Right here. Do you get it?

0:07:14 > 0:07:16Please God, two arms, two legs and a face.

0:07:16 > 0:07:18I do have a grasp of biology.

0:07:18 > 0:07:21This child is going to be bang in the middle of us,

0:07:21 > 0:07:23every day for the rest of our lives.

0:07:23 > 0:07:28Do you really get it? I'm worried sick about this scan.

0:07:28 > 0:07:33What if there's a problem? This child deserves all my worry.

0:07:33 > 0:07:35All my care.

0:07:35 > 0:07:38I can't be pregnant and waiting for us to fall apart too.

0:07:38 > 0:07:41What you and he did means nothing. I know that.

0:07:45 > 0:07:47Yep, who'd have thunk it?

0:07:47 > 0:07:49I know, honestly, it's crazy. I can't believe it.

0:07:49 > 0:07:50It's good, you did really well.

0:07:50 > 0:07:53- Yes, he not just a pretty face after all.- Well done.

0:07:53 > 0:07:56- Cheers.- What's this? Has Brown Owl given him his needlework badge?

0:07:56 > 0:07:58I came 15th in the National Exams.

0:07:58 > 0:08:01Ms Campbell wants to put me forward for the UCLA fellowship.

0:08:01 > 0:08:03UCLA? Wow... Well done.

0:08:03 > 0:08:05He's a dark horse.

0:08:05 > 0:08:07Came out of left field and looks like he might just have

0:08:07 > 0:08:10stolen your "hot young talent" crown.

0:08:10 > 0:08:13Come on. Let's get on with the paperwork.

0:08:13 > 0:08:17He'll be on another continent. This is what we want.

0:08:17 > 0:08:19Ayuda, por favor. Ayuda!

0:08:21 > 0:08:24Here we have an unconscious pedestrian from an RTC.

0:08:24 > 0:08:28ED have done an FBC, Us and Es, LFTs, clotting, group and save.

0:08:28 > 0:08:30Pelvic X-ray shows a shattered pelvis.

0:08:30 > 0:08:34- Se esta muriendo?- Move. - Is she dead? Dying?- Move.

0:08:34 > 0:08:35KNOCK ON DOOR

0:08:35 > 0:08:38- Mm?- Sorry, did you...? Hi.

0:08:38 > 0:08:44Oh, hi, Elliot. I trust you're rested after your MRI siesta.

0:08:46 > 0:08:49Do take a seat.

0:08:49 > 0:08:53I confess, I've been holding a flame for Doctor Digby to join the Darwin throng.

0:08:53 > 0:08:56Neuro have the coolest toys.

0:08:56 > 0:08:59Yes, but hearts are the miracle of life.

0:08:59 > 0:09:03You can't have a brain without a heart.

0:09:03 > 0:09:07The radiologist and I have studied your MRI.

0:09:07 > 0:09:10I dipped my toe in Neurology in my student days.

0:09:10 > 0:09:11Oh, really?

0:09:13 > 0:09:19- Carry on. I'm curious. - Barts Neurosurgery. '74.

0:09:19 > 0:09:23It was like the Amazon to us - and I was Frodo of the Amazon.

0:09:23 > 0:09:28The great unmapped human brain. The quest.

0:09:29 > 0:09:33- What happened? - Well...

0:09:34 > 0:09:39No, no, no. no. It's OK, just leave it. Leave it, I'll sort it out later.

0:09:39 > 0:09:41That's fine.

0:09:43 > 0:09:49FYI, I'm afraid the MRI showed your carotids are very medial.

0:09:49 > 0:09:53- Right.- Obviously I'll remove as much of the tumour as I can

0:09:53 > 0:09:55but with medially positioned carotids like this,

0:09:55 > 0:09:58I'll have to take extra care to avoid a haemorrhage.

0:09:58 > 0:10:04- Haemorrhage?- It's not a risk that is modified, I'm afraid.

0:10:04 > 0:10:07I shall just have to be on my "A" game.

0:10:07 > 0:10:11Right, well, Thank you for letting me know.

0:10:11 > 0:10:15Er... don't you have any questions before I talk you through the consent process?

0:10:15 > 0:10:16Thank you.

0:10:19 > 0:10:22ED fast scan shows shattered pelvis, kidney and lung contusion...

0:10:22 > 0:10:23Kristina. Kristina.

0:10:23 > 0:10:26Possible head injury. And a soppy boyfriend who isn't helping.

0:10:26 > 0:10:27Look, could you move, please?

0:10:27 > 0:10:30Doctor Tressler, please.

0:10:30 > 0:10:32Sure. Excuse me. Can you come with me, sir? Please. Thank you.

0:10:32 > 0:10:34BEEPING

0:10:34 > 0:10:35OK, let's get into theatre.

0:10:38 > 0:10:40Kristina. Kristina.

0:10:40 > 0:10:42Look, just leave her with us. OK?

0:10:42 > 0:10:44Raf? Any chance of a solo spot?

0:10:44 > 0:10:48- Could really help my UCLA application.- Scrub in.

0:10:48 > 0:10:50Some bird is having a hissy fit downstairs.

0:10:50 > 0:10:52Wonders why Elliot hasn't cleared her at reception?

0:10:52 > 0:10:55Something to do with the Herzig - Patsy Brassvine?

0:10:55 > 0:10:57Yes, erm...

0:10:57 > 0:10:59Hi, Ms Brassvine, it's Jac Naylor.

0:11:00 > 0:11:04It's an excellent idea. Mo, picture this for a get well present.

0:11:04 > 0:11:06Scalectrix.

0:11:06 > 0:11:09Because nothing says "fighting fit" like a really wee car

0:11:09 > 0:11:12whizzing around a track that you made with your own two hands.

0:11:12 > 0:11:16No, but Mr T's talking about getting a kitten for Professor Hope.

0:11:16 > 0:11:18Look, he practically killed me

0:11:18 > 0:11:21for first dibs on looking after Gary the dog.

0:11:21 > 0:11:23Elliot?

0:11:23 > 0:11:24How was the scan?

0:11:24 > 0:11:26Yes, fine. Sorry, excuse me.

0:11:31 > 0:11:35When a Paulette and Patsy come up, Elliot is not to know.

0:11:39 > 0:11:43Colon's mobilised. Doctor Tressler, will you clip the artery?

0:11:44 > 0:11:46You wanted a solo spot.

0:11:46 > 0:11:49Yeah, sorry, I thought you meant mobilising the colon or something.

0:11:49 > 0:11:51I've never done a trauma nephrectomy before.

0:11:51 > 0:11:53It's UCLA. Not the St John's Ambulance.

0:11:53 > 0:11:56Do you want to hold hands and get to know her first?

0:12:03 > 0:12:06Now clip the vein and divide it with the Nelsons.

0:12:16 > 0:12:18Stop.

0:12:18 > 0:12:19Precise movements. No tension.

0:12:25 > 0:12:27Sorry. I just couldn't get the right grip on it.

0:12:39 > 0:12:42Congratulations. Your first trauma nephrectomy.

0:12:45 > 0:12:47There's a medical innovations

0:12:47 > 0:12:50and devices conference I've got to apply for in Munich.

0:12:50 > 0:12:53Was the scan not good news, then?

0:12:53 > 0:12:54I don't think so, no.

0:12:57 > 0:12:58What did the MRI show?

0:12:58 > 0:13:00Well, that's for the neuros to crack.

0:13:00 > 0:13:06Meanwhile, I've got to get the Herzig up to speed for the Herrs and Fraus of Munich.

0:13:06 > 0:13:09Elliot, you already applied for the pitch six months ago.

0:13:12 > 0:13:13What did Guy say?

0:13:15 > 0:13:20I'm a non-modified brain haemorrhage risk. He laughed at me.

0:13:20 > 0:13:22What did he actually say?

0:13:24 > 0:13:26I'm not really sure.

0:13:28 > 0:13:30Did you not think it pertinent to listen?

0:13:32 > 0:13:35What happened to Tara. This is completely different.

0:13:35 > 0:13:40No, I'd never compare myself to that poor child. That was tragic...

0:13:43 > 0:13:46The Herzig is so close to triumph.

0:13:46 > 0:13:52I haven't even thanked my team. I've got obligations to my patients.

0:13:52 > 0:13:54Patsy Brassvine. I've got an appointment.

0:13:54 > 0:13:58I cancelled that. Do you want me to call Guy to explain the risks?

0:13:58 > 0:14:01No. Not yet, thank you.

0:14:03 > 0:14:08Cushing's disease isn't going away just because you want it to.

0:14:08 > 0:14:11If wishing things away worked, then why is Mo still here?

0:14:11 > 0:14:12Jac, please.

0:14:16 > 0:14:19If you don't cure this, everything that you love,

0:14:19 > 0:14:21your work - it's gone.

0:14:23 > 0:14:25Ms Naylor. Those people are here.

0:14:26 > 0:14:28I thought you'd taken the day off?

0:14:28 > 0:14:31Just something I've got to do quickly.

0:14:31 > 0:14:34Right, staying down here is not going to help, is it?

0:14:36 > 0:14:40I know he doesn't mean to but Guy just makes me feel so silly.

0:14:40 > 0:14:43Well, I won't let him. You're just going to go for a little chat.

0:14:43 > 0:14:46- And you'll be...? - I'll be right behind you. Ten minutes away.

0:14:51 > 0:14:57So... Did that really just count as my first solo trauma nephrectomy?

0:14:57 > 0:15:00Sure, if you'll put it on your UCLA application.

0:15:01 > 0:15:03Ah, Ms Campbell wanted me to ask you

0:15:03 > 0:15:06whether you'd be one of my referees for UCLA.

0:15:06 > 0:15:08I thought she was summoning the bigwigs?

0:15:08 > 0:15:09Yeah, no. She is.

0:15:09 > 0:15:11But apparently it looks a bit dodgeville

0:15:11 > 0:15:13if there isn't a shop floor referee.

0:15:13 > 0:15:17Well, I'm chock-a-block all week. But I'll write something up over the weekend.

0:15:18 > 0:15:23Actually, sorry to be a pain. We kind of need it for tomorrow.

0:15:23 > 0:15:25MACHINE BEEPS RAPIDLY

0:15:25 > 0:15:2790/60.

0:15:28 > 0:15:30What's wrong with her?

0:15:30 > 0:15:31She's tachycardic.

0:15:31 > 0:15:35Ms Brassvine? We met at the Luton clinical presentation.

0:15:35 > 0:15:39The time of my life(!) You'll recall I'm the European Development Manager

0:15:39 > 0:15:43for the University Hospital Trusts Midwest.

0:15:43 > 0:15:45We're trialling the Herzig in North America.

0:15:45 > 0:15:48That's right - I knew you had a very important job title.

0:15:48 > 0:15:51So he's sent the nurse to take the hit?

0:15:51 > 0:15:54Professor Hope's a coward as well as a liar?

0:15:54 > 0:15:57Professor Hope was a no-show for our fact-finding appointment.

0:15:57 > 0:15:58He's poorly today.

0:15:58 > 0:16:01Paulette was forced to track me down from a press release

0:16:01 > 0:16:03because she'd lost faith in your end.

0:16:03 > 0:16:07I'm here because our American Innovations Director takes

0:16:07 > 0:16:11the safety of the Herzig patients incredibly seriously.

0:16:11 > 0:16:14Professor Hope's Herzig surgery and aftercare were faultless.

0:16:14 > 0:16:17Where is he? It's my kids who are suffering.

0:16:17 > 0:16:19You go to the golf course and tell him.

0:16:19 > 0:16:23Patsy. You're looking great as usual.

0:16:23 > 0:16:26Paulette, hello. I'm Guy Self, CEO of this hospital,

0:16:26 > 0:16:29Starship Commander of the Herzig Enterprise, if you will.

0:16:29 > 0:16:33Look, I'm so sorry about the mix-up with Professor Hope's schedule.

0:16:33 > 0:16:34It's really not on.

0:16:34 > 0:16:38Thank you - thanks for making the effort to talk to me.

0:16:38 > 0:16:41I'm sorry for getting emotional, it's just when you think you've

0:16:41 > 0:16:44escaped death and then you wake up one day, back at square one...

0:16:44 > 0:16:49I thought I could give my kids proper birthday parties this year.

0:16:49 > 0:16:50Ms Naylor is one of our best.

0:16:50 > 0:16:53She's at your disposal until we get to the bottom of your symptoms.

0:16:53 > 0:16:56I'll arrange one of the registrars to examine Paulette.

0:16:56 > 0:16:59According to our records, she didn't make her last appointment.

0:16:59 > 0:17:01I'm needed on Keller.

0:17:01 > 0:17:05I think patient care for our brave Herzig trialist is what

0:17:05 > 0:17:09Professor Hope would rather you prioritised right now.

0:17:09 > 0:17:11Her heart rate's going nuts. BP dropping as well.

0:17:11 > 0:17:12Get the boyfriend.

0:17:14 > 0:17:17No meds at the scene and nothing from the ambulance crew.

0:17:17 > 0:17:21- Here? - Nothing in ED. Just drugs for the operation and post-op medication.

0:17:21 > 0:17:22- Pulse 120.- Que pasa?

0:17:22 > 0:17:24Does your girlfriend have any allergies?

0:17:24 > 0:17:26No la dejen morir. Que le han hecho?

0:17:26 > 0:17:28- Where's the interpreter? - On their way.

0:17:28 > 0:17:32- Allergies? Alergias? Si?- No. Alergias? No.

0:17:32 > 0:17:35- What about drugs? Droga? - No.

0:17:35 > 0:17:38- Pills? Medication? - No. Stop dying. Stop now.

0:17:38 > 0:17:41Any ideas? Harry?

0:17:41 > 0:17:44I'm thinking. Illness?

0:17:44 > 0:17:46- La enfermedad?- Good.

0:17:46 > 0:17:49- La enfermedad - tiene problemas del corazon. - Corazon? Heart?

0:17:49 > 0:17:51- Heart. Heart. Si. - What about her heart?

0:17:51 > 0:17:54- We're losing her. - No. No. You mustn't die.

0:17:54 > 0:17:56- No me dejes. - Life isn't fair, I know.

0:17:56 > 0:17:59Sometimes you have to man up and deal with the situation.

0:17:59 > 0:18:01What is wrong with her heart?

0:18:01 > 0:18:04Enfermedad de Addison. Addison disease.

0:18:04 > 0:18:06Hydrocortisone.

0:18:06 > 0:18:08Move!

0:18:16 > 0:18:17RAPID BEEPING STOPS

0:18:20 > 0:18:25Ah, Patsy. Have a seat. I'm so sorry about the mix-up.

0:18:25 > 0:18:28Organisation is not Professor Hope's forte.

0:18:28 > 0:18:32I trust that Jac Naylor has been more than her normal reassuring self?

0:18:32 > 0:18:35Dealing with a gravely ill woman's missed appointment?

0:18:35 > 0:18:39Drama queen or not - this is bad.

0:18:39 > 0:18:43We have serious reservations about Professor Hope's leadership of the project.

0:18:43 > 0:18:47Yes, well, he has been going through a period of illness.

0:18:47 > 0:18:51But he'll be back to his jammy-doughnut-stained best very soon.

0:18:51 > 0:18:54Why are we only hearing about his increasingly serious illness from you now?

0:18:56 > 0:18:58Look, I'm sorry. I have to prepare for surgery.

0:18:58 > 0:19:01I can't discuss Professor Hope's future today.

0:19:01 > 0:19:04I came here to help him smooth over a surgical complaint.

0:19:04 > 0:19:05And he's made it worse.

0:19:05 > 0:19:08And to top it off, his health's on the slide.

0:19:08 > 0:19:12Now if you want our American arm to roll out the Herzig...

0:19:13 > 0:19:14..we will talk now.

0:19:15 > 0:19:20We've had concerns about Professor Hope for a while.

0:19:20 > 0:19:23Surgical trials are too litigious for sentiment.

0:19:25 > 0:19:27He is a lovely man...

0:19:27 > 0:19:31- And the Herzig is his life's work. - He's a weak link.

0:19:31 > 0:19:35Who may well have a Herzig patient's blood on his hands by the end of the day.

0:19:35 > 0:19:38It's time to action his removal.

0:19:42 > 0:19:47Doctor Digby. Just had one or two silly questions.

0:19:47 > 0:19:50Mr Self's in his office.

0:19:50 > 0:19:54I know...no harm in consulting the mind of our leading light, though, is there?

0:19:57 > 0:19:58Is that my brain?

0:20:00 > 0:20:01Yes.

0:20:01 > 0:20:03Hello, brain.

0:20:12 > 0:20:14It's incredible, isn't it?

0:20:14 > 0:20:20Every memory over all these years, all stored on the head of a pin.

0:20:20 > 0:20:24Well, not quite stored on the head of a pin, actually.

0:20:24 > 0:20:29Memory depends on permanent changes in neural connections.

0:20:31 > 0:20:35The pituitary gland's rather close to the carotid artery, is it not?

0:20:35 > 0:20:40Precision neurosurgery - it's light-years ahead of where it was.

0:20:42 > 0:20:43You're a very clever bunch.

0:20:48 > 0:20:51There was something I noticed on the MRI.

0:20:51 > 0:20:54This is going to sound a little bit strange

0:20:54 > 0:20:56but you have unusually large frontal lobes.

0:20:56 > 0:20:59I wasn't surprised at all, of course, but it reminded me of Einstein's brain.

0:20:59 > 0:21:01I don't know about that...

0:21:01 > 0:21:04Well, you know. 30 years at the head of CT, transplant.

0:21:04 > 0:21:08You know, you've invented a stent. You don't stop.

0:21:08 > 0:21:09It's good to have been of some use.

0:21:16 > 0:21:17'The scans do show'

0:21:17 > 0:21:18bleeding in your pelvis.

0:21:18 > 0:21:21This may be due to the Herzig battery pack becoming detached,

0:21:21 > 0:21:24which is why you've been feeling faint.

0:21:24 > 0:21:26I knew a miracle cure was too good to be true.

0:21:26 > 0:21:30He didn't cure me, did he? He doesn't care.

0:21:30 > 0:21:33Paulette. Have you been taking your warfarin as Professor Hope directed?

0:21:33 > 0:21:35Yes. Just like I was told.

0:21:35 > 0:21:39Do you think I don't want to get better? I'm on Mumsgate.

0:21:39 > 0:21:43You think four walls can shut me up? Elliot Hope is dangerous.

0:21:43 > 0:21:47Back up. He missed one, informal, unscheduled chat with Patsy Brassvine today.

0:21:47 > 0:21:50It was you who missed your last clotting clinic.

0:21:50 > 0:21:52I missed it because he didn't show up to the one before.

0:21:52 > 0:21:54Look, why don't you listen?

0:21:54 > 0:21:56He didn't show up to my appointment last month.

0:21:56 > 0:22:00That's why I went to Patsy. Don't you get why I'm fuming?

0:22:00 > 0:22:03I'll take her into theatre as soon as there's a slot.

0:22:03 > 0:22:06Do you think that's wise? She's an unsettled safety complaint.

0:22:06 > 0:22:08You wanted me to sort it - I'm sorting it.

0:22:10 > 0:22:13- KNOCK ON DOOR - Not now.

0:22:13 > 0:22:16Sorry, Guy. Do you think we might be able to have a chat later?

0:22:16 > 0:22:18Professor Hope, please do come in.

0:22:20 > 0:22:22Actually, I've had some...

0:22:22 > 0:22:23Sorry, may I go first?

0:22:26 > 0:22:29I don't think I ever fully decided that

0:22:29 > 0:22:31I wanted this operation to happen.

0:22:31 > 0:22:33I mean, having your mind cut into.

0:22:33 > 0:22:37It's not, it's not something that you should be sleepwalked into.

0:22:37 > 0:22:39Or maybe it is?

0:22:39 > 0:22:42I've often thought that the luckiest patients were those who had

0:22:42 > 0:22:45been brought in unconscious. Eternal sleep or cure?

0:22:46 > 0:22:47Elliot?

0:22:47 > 0:22:53Sorry. I'm afraid I didn't quite take things in at our last meeting.

0:22:53 > 0:22:55The carotids being medial..?

0:22:55 > 0:23:00Yes, I just have to take extra removing your pituitary tumour.

0:23:00 > 0:23:04And we just have to be mindful of the medial carotids

0:23:04 > 0:23:07because of the risk of a haemorrhage.

0:23:07 > 0:23:10- I'm sorry if I didn't make that clear.- Lovely, thank you.

0:23:10 > 0:23:14However... I have been made aware of your overnight obs.

0:23:14 > 0:23:16And your blood pressure.

0:23:18 > 0:23:20Goodness. That's high.

0:23:20 > 0:23:23Yes, it's not unusual with a patient who's anxious about an operation.

0:23:26 > 0:23:29I just think with your history of angina, it's probably

0:23:29 > 0:23:32not in your best interests to have the operation today.

0:23:34 > 0:23:37But I've built myself up now...

0:23:37 > 0:23:40I've got patients to treat. I've got work to do.

0:23:40 > 0:23:41The Herzig's at a crucial stage.

0:23:41 > 0:23:44Jac's already cancelled my meeting with Patsy Brassvine.

0:23:44 > 0:23:48Yes, that's all very noble, Elliot, but you really don't have to rush back to work here.

0:23:48 > 0:23:51But I've so much to do. Leading Darwin, the Herzig.

0:23:54 > 0:23:57Are you putting me on scrap heap, Guy?

0:23:57 > 0:24:00No. Of course not!

0:24:00 > 0:24:02I just don't think you should have the operation today.

0:24:02 > 0:24:05I do think you should talk to your children.

0:24:05 > 0:24:07They've got nothing to do with this.

0:24:07 > 0:24:09The fact that you haven't spoken to your children shows

0:24:09 > 0:24:12that you don't seem to have come to terms with having the procedure.

0:24:12 > 0:24:16I want to have the operation today and resume my duties as soon as possible.

0:24:16 > 0:24:18Elliot. I'm really not happy with your blood pressure.

0:24:18 > 0:24:21I've made my decision. You do what you need to do.

0:24:35 > 0:24:37Jane, could you please dig out

0:24:37 > 0:24:41the Intellectual Property Rights contracts for the Herzig.

0:24:42 > 0:24:44Thank you.

0:24:47 > 0:24:51Addisons Disease. You saved her life, you know?

0:24:51 > 0:24:52You were a bit in shock before.

0:24:52 > 0:24:57Yes. I feel nothing. My English, I forget.

0:24:57 > 0:24:59She can't die.

0:24:59 > 0:25:01I love her.

0:25:01 > 0:25:04Kristina's medical notes. Not much to go on, I'm afraid.

0:25:04 > 0:25:06She's only been here a few months.

0:25:06 > 0:25:07And we haven't got her Spanish history so...

0:25:07 > 0:25:09So you moved here together?

0:25:09 > 0:25:12From Spain. Yes. For work - nothing much back home.

0:25:12 > 0:25:15- Not much here too.- Who's her next of kin. Is it her mother?

0:25:15 > 0:25:17Pilar. In Sitges.

0:25:17 > 0:25:20Will she be needing a translator?

0:25:20 > 0:25:21I'm sorry?

0:25:21 > 0:25:23A translator?

0:25:23 > 0:25:25Pilar is dead now.

0:25:25 > 0:25:28Oh. Is there anyone else that we should call?

0:25:28 > 0:25:31- No.- You're sure? No-one at all?

0:25:32 > 0:25:35She doesn't want that. People don't like us.

0:25:35 > 0:25:37What people? Why?

0:25:37 > 0:25:40Does this have something to do with the hit and run?

0:25:40 > 0:25:41No.

0:25:41 > 0:25:43Well, the police are here to speak to you.

0:25:43 > 0:25:48They've caught the driver but they still need to take a witness statement.

0:25:48 > 0:25:51And if there's anything else you need to speak about?

0:25:51 > 0:25:54People don't like us. She doesn't want police here. We don't want help.

0:25:54 > 0:25:56OK, OK, pal. The police can wait.

0:25:59 > 0:26:02Heart rate more normal now.

0:26:02 > 0:26:06That "me and Kristina against the world" shtick - it's a bit creepy, isn't it?

0:26:06 > 0:26:09That man came this close to losing everything.

0:26:09 > 0:26:11But then you wouldn't understand that.

0:26:11 > 0:26:13You ready? For the appointment?

0:26:16 > 0:26:18Zumba class. Just a Zumba class.

0:26:23 > 0:26:28It's just a routine brain surgery... there was no point worrying you.

0:26:28 > 0:26:30Er, blood pressure's a little bit high.

0:26:30 > 0:26:33And my artery's in a tricky place but... You know me.

0:26:33 > 0:26:35Always living on the edge.

0:26:35 > 0:26:40Martha's on her travels so if you get this, it would be lovely

0:26:40 > 0:26:43to see if you wanted to pop in this afternoon.

0:26:43 > 0:26:45Don't go to any trouble.

0:26:48 > 0:26:49I love you both very much.

0:26:58 > 0:27:02Ms Campbell thinks Harry has a real shot at being her superstar in LA.

0:27:03 > 0:27:05She's summoning the forces.

0:27:05 > 0:27:09Yeah, she's got me jumping through hoops too.

0:27:09 > 0:27:11I'm the "shop floor" reference.

0:27:12 > 0:27:15The humble mentor who's been blown away by his potential.

0:27:18 > 0:27:20But America's a long way away.

0:27:20 > 0:27:23So I'll write him a glowing reference.

0:27:30 > 0:27:31I love you so much.

0:27:34 > 0:27:36I'm not going to let this destroy us.

0:27:48 > 0:27:51Sorry to have kept you waiting. Anyone looking for a baby?

0:27:58 > 0:28:01Hi. Patient Hope reporting for duty.

0:28:01 > 0:28:03Just a few choccies for my keep.

0:28:03 > 0:28:04Oh, Elliot.

0:28:04 > 0:28:06Is Ms Naylor here?

0:28:06 > 0:28:08No.

0:28:08 > 0:28:12We were beginning to think you'd run away to work on your music.

0:28:12 > 0:28:16Call the paparazzi - it is Elliot Hope in this season's must-haves!

0:28:17 > 0:28:18Welcome!

0:28:18 > 0:28:21So we had to go 12 rounds with the ward manager

0:28:21 > 0:28:23but the Presidential Suite is all yours.

0:28:23 > 0:28:26Your gown, Sir. There you go.

0:28:26 > 0:28:27Ah, lovely.

0:28:27 > 0:28:30SACHA MIMICS A FANFARE

0:28:30 > 0:28:33For me? You silly sausages.

0:28:33 > 0:28:35Thank you.

0:28:38 > 0:28:43I'm told you've lost your solo trauma nephrectomy cherry?

0:28:43 > 0:28:45Need to step up to the plate if I want the UCLA fellowship.

0:28:45 > 0:28:48A carrot, not a rod man? Duly noted.

0:28:48 > 0:28:52Oh, by the way, the police want to chase up the boyfriend's witness statement.

0:28:52 > 0:28:54Yeah, Raf says he's not ready.

0:28:54 > 0:28:58Really? Oh, well. It's Mr Di Lucca's case.

0:28:58 > 0:29:03Maybe he's going all mother hen on us for "personal reasons".

0:29:03 > 0:29:05- They told you? - Well, how come you're in the loop?

0:29:05 > 0:29:07- I'm not.- It's no secret.

0:29:09 > 0:29:13Lou. Tell whoever organises these things we need a card round robined.

0:29:32 > 0:29:35PHONE RINGS

0:29:39 > 0:29:40Pero por que me haces esto?

0:29:41 > 0:29:45Oh! It's from Donna and Kieran. Lovely couple.

0:29:45 > 0:29:47Yes. Can I be Robin?

0:29:49 > 0:29:52Er, is Dr Joseph Byrne from this century?

0:29:52 > 0:29:55You're kidding me. He didn't sign it "Dr Joseph Byrne", did he?

0:29:55 > 0:29:57Bet he's sexy and doesn't know it.

0:29:57 > 0:30:00Well, he learnt from the master.

0:30:00 > 0:30:04- Tickets...- Two tickets to Status Faux.

0:30:04 > 0:30:09Well, you never know your luck, you might not be on your feet in time.

0:30:09 > 0:30:13"For when you're rocking again. Love, Charlie." He loves his Quo.

0:30:13 > 0:30:16Open this one. It's heavy.

0:30:16 > 0:30:19"An incentive to get better. I've perfected the recipe.

0:30:19 > 0:30:23"Faithfully, HH."

0:30:23 > 0:30:24It's Hanssen.

0:30:26 > 0:30:28Baklava.

0:30:29 > 0:30:31I miss him.

0:30:35 > 0:30:38"Get Guy to dust out the cobwebs while he's in there.

0:30:38 > 0:30:40"With love, Connie."

0:30:40 > 0:30:42Connie, don't you sound lovely?

0:30:42 > 0:30:46All these lovely presents and cards. I'm so touched.

0:30:46 > 0:30:49Well, we need the hearts man to get better, don't we?

0:30:49 > 0:30:52Would it be possible to let Ms Naylor know that I'm here now?

0:30:52 > 0:30:54I think we must have missed each other.

0:30:54 > 0:30:57Yeah. Yeah, I'll chase her up.

0:30:58 > 0:31:00Come on, let's get your cape on.

0:31:02 > 0:31:04ELLIOT HUMS THE BATMAN THEME

0:31:05 > 0:31:08Very nice. Your consent form, Professor Hope.

0:31:09 > 0:31:13Brain surgery? You just leave me a message?

0:31:13 > 0:31:15What is this?

0:31:17 > 0:31:20Let's try and get a clear view of your baby, shall we?

0:31:20 > 0:31:22Come out, come out, wherever you are!

0:31:22 > 0:31:24MR THOMPSON LAUGHS

0:31:24 > 0:31:26Your last patient didn't make it, then?

0:31:26 > 0:31:30Oh, what, the bone? No, no, that's for Gary.

0:31:30 > 0:31:34- Gary?- Yeah, Professor Hope's pooch. I've been looking after him.

0:31:34 > 0:31:36I'm a cat man, myself.

0:31:36 > 0:31:38Catman! Meowwwww!

0:31:40 > 0:31:42I've been pitching a kitten as Elliot's get-well pressie.

0:31:45 > 0:31:47Oh, hello!

0:31:47 > 0:31:51Ah! There's your baby. Congratulations.

0:31:53 > 0:31:54Is that the head?

0:31:54 > 0:31:55One of them, yeah.

0:31:55 > 0:31:58- LAUGHS - Sorry, that's my little joke.

0:31:59 > 0:32:02Er, two little legs, two little arms

0:32:02 > 0:32:04and a little face there, look.

0:32:06 > 0:32:07Hello, little one.

0:32:08 > 0:32:11Oh, he's doing the rumba, look!

0:32:11 > 0:32:12Beautiful.

0:32:14 > 0:32:17Got a strong, regular heartbeat as well. Listen to that.

0:32:17 > 0:32:22- HEARTBEAT - Hey? We're fine.

0:32:22 > 0:32:24Have you thought about any names at all?

0:32:24 > 0:32:28Look, I'm sorry, I've got a post-op patient to get back to.

0:32:28 > 0:32:30Sorry.

0:32:37 > 0:32:40Everything appears to be developing normally.

0:32:40 > 0:32:42I'll print you off a couple of scans,

0:32:42 > 0:32:45but I think you're safe to celebrate.

0:32:45 > 0:32:47My mother's going to be so happy!

0:32:48 > 0:32:51Hey, look, if there's anything you want to discuss at all,

0:32:51 > 0:32:55just know that it will be in absolute confidence.

0:32:56 > 0:32:57Thanks.

0:32:57 > 0:33:00But we've talked. Everything's fine.

0:33:17 > 0:33:19This is worse than we thought.

0:33:21 > 0:33:24Better let Mr Self know we might have an issue.

0:33:26 > 0:33:29Everything's fine. The team are looking after me.

0:33:29 > 0:33:32I'll be back fighting fit on Darwin in no time.

0:33:32 > 0:33:37You are not ready. If you were ready, you'd have called us.

0:33:37 > 0:33:39- Who's pushed you into this? - I am ready.

0:33:39 > 0:33:42I'm not. Martha's not.

0:33:42 > 0:33:44How could you not think about us?

0:33:44 > 0:33:47You're having brain surgery. You have a tumour.

0:33:47 > 0:33:50- Why didn't you even tell us? - I tried.- No, you didn't!

0:33:50 > 0:33:54This operation, James, is the only way to cure your father.

0:33:54 > 0:33:56Sorry, do I know you?

0:33:56 > 0:33:59- James!- Do I have to speak through your work buddies now?

0:33:59 > 0:34:01Are these the people that will be looking after you

0:34:01 > 0:34:03if you're brain damaged?

0:34:03 > 0:34:07No. They're just like you. Think they're so clever and brave.

0:34:09 > 0:34:12Come on, what was going to happen, then?

0:34:12 > 0:34:13Were we just going to get a phone call

0:34:13 > 0:34:16saying that you'd died on the operating table?

0:34:16 > 0:34:19Or that you were so brain damaged that they just switched you off

0:34:19 > 0:34:20and that was it?

0:34:20 > 0:34:24Precision neurosurgery is light years ahead of where it was.

0:34:24 > 0:34:25It's a big adventure!

0:34:25 > 0:34:29It took a lot for your dad to build himself up for this procedure.

0:34:29 > 0:34:33Now, as I said before, it is the only cure.

0:34:35 > 0:34:36Dr Digby?

0:34:38 > 0:34:41OK. Time for pre-op clerking.

0:34:41 > 0:34:44Unless, erm, you're thinking of delaying.

0:34:44 > 0:34:46Jac Naylor? She said she was ten minutes behind.

0:34:46 > 0:34:49Of course. Why talk to me when you've got her(?)

0:34:49 > 0:34:52Right, er, well, do you want me to chase her?

0:34:52 > 0:34:54Or get someone who's never met her to chase her?

0:34:54 > 0:34:58OK, Team Keller, please, Team Keller.

0:34:58 > 0:35:01Can you prepare for pre-op clerking?

0:35:02 > 0:35:05And can you bring me Jazz FM?

0:35:05 > 0:35:06Right...

0:35:06 > 0:35:09Erm, yeah, it's just Mr Self's busy in a Darwin theatre crisis

0:35:09 > 0:35:11and so I am actually in charge of clerking.

0:35:11 > 0:35:13Yeah, you heard the big man. Get the laptop.

0:35:16 > 0:35:18DOOR OPENS

0:35:22 > 0:35:27She looks happy in her sleep. I'm happy for her.

0:35:27 > 0:35:30I know you're protecting her from something. I just want to help.

0:35:32 > 0:35:34I can't live like this any more.

0:35:34 > 0:35:36Live like what? Whatever it is, you don't have to.

0:35:36 > 0:35:39- She makes me. - KNOCK ON DOOR

0:35:39 > 0:35:42We've been summoned to the staff room.

0:35:44 > 0:35:45Excuse me.

0:35:48 > 0:35:52The crazy summer of 1984. Had my appendix out.

0:35:52 > 0:35:54But that trippy juice

0:35:54 > 0:35:57will make you play guitar riffs that will just blow your mind.

0:35:57 > 0:35:59HE IMITATES JAZZ RIFF PLAYING ON RADIO

0:36:02 > 0:36:03You hear that, Elliot?

0:36:03 > 0:36:06You'll be teaching that Status Quo tribute act a thing or two.

0:36:06 > 0:36:08Well, that's not hard. Chocolate?

0:36:08 > 0:36:12- Status Quo. Who are they?- Ah! James, did you hear that? Scandalous.

0:36:12 > 0:36:15First song I ever taught you. Rockin' All Over The World.

0:36:15 > 0:36:18- Ooh, the girls must have loved you(!)- On recorder.

0:36:18 > 0:36:20LAUGHTER

0:36:20 > 0:36:22Very well managed, Dr Digby(!)

0:36:22 > 0:36:25This is not a school disco. Everybody out.

0:36:25 > 0:36:27- For heaven's sake, Guy. - They're no trouble.

0:36:27 > 0:36:30- Come on, Elliot doesn't mind. - Look, will everyone please leave?

0:36:30 > 0:36:32My patient's clerking in.

0:36:32 > 0:36:34Thank you.

0:36:43 > 0:36:45I said I wanted them here.

0:36:45 > 0:36:48Guy, I won't be bullied by you. I won't...

0:36:53 > 0:36:54Elliot?

0:37:00 > 0:37:02ALL: Congratulations!

0:37:09 > 0:37:10You fainted.

0:37:13 > 0:37:16I'm sorry I got a little cross with you.

0:37:16 > 0:37:20So am I. Don't worry. It's quite common.

0:37:21 > 0:37:23Yes, it is, isn't it? I'd forgotten that.

0:37:25 > 0:37:28The hospital looks so different today.

0:37:28 > 0:37:32Well, today, Professor, you are a patient.

0:37:32 > 0:37:34Would you like a pre-med? Helps with the nerves.

0:37:34 > 0:37:37No, no, no, no, no.

0:37:37 > 0:37:41I had a little wacky baccy once. Party. '76.

0:37:41 > 0:37:43No, made my head feel fuzzy.

0:37:48 > 0:37:51Guy, please don't take my work away from me.

0:37:53 > 0:37:55No, of course not.

0:37:57 > 0:37:58You know...

0:37:58 > 0:38:01you never finished telling me about your time at Barts

0:38:01 > 0:38:04in neuro rotation.

0:38:04 > 0:38:06The great adventure into the mind?

0:38:07 > 0:38:11The neurosurgeon told me there was no such thing as a mind, just an...

0:38:11 > 0:38:13an organ called the brain.

0:38:13 > 0:38:16- Ah! So you became a heart man?- Mm.

0:38:17 > 0:38:21I saw a heart giving life back to someone.

0:38:21 > 0:38:27No fuss. No secrets. Just a humble beat that made him live again.

0:38:28 > 0:38:32Well, you have saved plenty of lives.

0:38:32 > 0:38:35And my work...has saved me, too.

0:38:42 > 0:38:43When my wife died...

0:38:46 > 0:38:48..life held very little for me.

0:38:50 > 0:38:55But I worked and I worked and I perfected the Herzig.

0:38:55 > 0:39:01And I knew then, as long as I was of use, I could find joy again...

0:39:02 > 0:39:04..even though I was all on my own.

0:39:08 > 0:39:12So, you ready for this operation, then?

0:39:13 > 0:39:15It's a horrible feeling...

0:39:17 > 0:39:19..waiting for something terrible.

0:39:22 > 0:39:23I've often found...

0:39:23 > 0:39:27when the loss comes, it's a relief to the ones left behind.

0:39:29 > 0:39:32Well, if it makes you feel any better...

0:39:32 > 0:39:37my position here will be untenable if I harm a hair on your head.

0:39:37 > 0:39:40You are the most loved man in this hospital.

0:39:41 > 0:39:46I'm sorry. I forgot to consider the pressure that you're under.

0:39:46 > 0:39:49Don't consider it.

0:39:49 > 0:39:50Ready?

0:39:52 > 0:39:54Ready.

0:39:54 > 0:39:56Thank you.

0:39:56 > 0:39:59- You're going to make fantastic parents.- Thank you so much.

0:39:59 > 0:40:02- That's my boy!- Lucky boy.

0:40:02 > 0:40:03You'll be able to tell him

0:40:03 > 0:40:06you once worked with the Nobel Prize-winning Dr Tressler.

0:40:06 > 0:40:09Of course, if he's really lucky, he'll be a she.

0:40:09 > 0:40:13I couldn't care less. I just want them to finally get here!

0:40:13 > 0:40:16Life's never the same once you see that blue line.

0:40:16 > 0:40:19Nothing compares with that tiny person you've made.

0:40:19 > 0:40:20Yes.

0:40:20 > 0:40:23It's more than that. It's a dream.

0:40:23 > 0:40:24It certainly is.

0:40:24 > 0:40:28Our star pupil, Dr Tressler, you two getting pregnant.

0:40:28 > 0:40:30We are a dream factory.

0:40:30 > 0:40:31I'm not in UCLA yet.

0:40:31 > 0:40:33Oh, you'll be all right.

0:40:33 > 0:40:35And I think you have a certain lovely lady

0:40:35 > 0:40:37to thank for the private tutorials.

0:40:37 > 0:40:40Yes, thank you, Amy. And congratulations.

0:40:40 > 0:40:43Yes. Everyone, to Amy, Harry and Raf.

0:40:43 > 0:40:45Congratulations. You have done us proud.

0:40:45 > 0:40:47- ALL: Cheers!- Well done.

0:40:48 > 0:40:51It's Kristina! Please, quick!

0:40:54 > 0:40:55Paulette's INR is eight.

0:40:55 > 0:40:58She's been taking triple the amount of warfarin prescribed.

0:40:58 > 0:41:01She's to blame for the battery fault, not Professor Hope.

0:41:01 > 0:41:03She failed to attend her last clotting clinic.

0:41:03 > 0:41:04I checked the records,

0:41:04 > 0:41:07and Elliot didn't miss the previous clinic, as she claimed.

0:41:07 > 0:41:11She was 40 minutes late, so she lost her slot.

0:41:11 > 0:41:14I'll be delighted to pass the good news on to Mr Self.

0:41:14 > 0:41:16And I'll see you at the next trials.

0:41:19 > 0:41:21How can I dumb today's events down

0:41:21 > 0:41:24to a level that Patsy and the Americans will understand?

0:41:25 > 0:41:29My CEO follows the Herzig's development very closely.

0:41:29 > 0:41:32He was very impressed with your procedure last week.

0:41:32 > 0:41:35Professor Hope's?

0:41:35 > 0:41:36Not so impressed.

0:41:39 > 0:41:41Get it off your chest.

0:41:41 > 0:41:43My boss is committed to the Herzig.

0:41:43 > 0:41:47He wants whoever's best placed to ensure its success to lead it.

0:41:47 > 0:41:50He's very impressed with you.

0:41:50 > 0:41:53And when I tell him how you nipped the Paulette issue in the bud,

0:41:53 > 0:41:56well, his admiration will only grow.

0:41:58 > 0:42:01Try and steal the Herzig from Professor Hope

0:42:01 > 0:42:02and I'll use this meeting

0:42:02 > 0:42:05as evidence of intellectual property theft.

0:42:05 > 0:42:06Don't test me.

0:42:14 > 0:42:18My direct line. When you wish to talk.

0:42:37 > 0:42:39Phone her mother. Pilar.

0:42:40 > 0:42:42OK... Hasn't she been called already?

0:42:42 > 0:42:45- I don't think so.- Right.

0:42:50 > 0:42:52Sats 73 and 100% oxygen.

0:42:52 > 0:42:54I can read the machines, thanks.

0:42:54 > 0:42:56It must be a mucus plug.

0:42:56 > 0:42:58Suction.

0:43:01 > 0:43:04I go now. Tell her goodbye.

0:43:04 > 0:43:07No, you should stay. Wait outside.

0:43:07 > 0:43:09Your girlfriend needs you.

0:43:13 > 0:43:16It's an elective. You can delay. Why wouldn't you want more time?

0:43:16 > 0:43:18Time for what?

0:43:18 > 0:43:20To be my dad for a bit longer!

0:43:20 > 0:43:25James, I have a brain tumour. It's going to get worse.

0:43:25 > 0:43:28Worrying about this day arriving is going to cause you pain.

0:43:28 > 0:43:30Useless pain.

0:43:30 > 0:43:34I can take a deep breath and do this today

0:43:34 > 0:43:35and be your dad again.

0:43:36 > 0:43:39James, don't ever think I don't love you with all my heart.

0:43:39 > 0:43:44You and Martha are my treasures. I miss you every day.

0:43:44 > 0:43:45I always miss you.

0:43:48 > 0:43:51I just...

0:43:51 > 0:43:53I just wish I could have spent more time with you.

0:43:55 > 0:43:57We've just lost Mum.

0:43:58 > 0:44:01Well, feels like it.

0:44:01 > 0:44:02I know.

0:44:04 > 0:44:07Without this operation, I'll die.

0:44:08 > 0:44:13This disease is stopping me doing all the things that make me happy,

0:44:13 > 0:44:14my work...

0:44:14 > 0:44:18Can't you delay? They can do the operation next week.

0:44:19 > 0:44:21Please.

0:44:25 > 0:44:28James, everything your mother gave you, every cuddle,

0:44:28 > 0:44:31is safe, right there in your memory.

0:44:32 > 0:44:34- And when I go...- Don't say that.

0:44:34 > 0:44:37..whenever that may be, all my cuddles will be safe too.

0:44:41 > 0:44:44The mind is a wonderful thing.

0:44:45 > 0:44:46And today...

0:44:48 > 0:44:50..I've got to make my mind better...

0:44:51 > 0:44:54..so that your mum can stay right here with me...

0:44:56 > 0:44:59..and I can still have the privilege of being your dad...

0:45:01 > 0:45:04..and of being some use in the world.

0:45:07 > 0:45:11Jac was right. Without this operation, I lose everything.

0:45:14 > 0:45:16Sats are still falling. 64 now.

0:45:16 > 0:45:19I think we should get the police to speak to the boyfriend.

0:45:19 > 0:45:22The witness statement can wait.

0:45:22 > 0:45:24Well, he tried to leave. I mean, it's a bit weird, isn't it?

0:45:24 > 0:45:26For whatever reason, he is scared.

0:45:26 > 0:45:28Now is not the time to make things worse.

0:45:28 > 0:45:31And can you not contradict your senior doctor, please?

0:45:38 > 0:45:40Elliot!

0:45:41 > 0:45:43Jac...

0:45:46 > 0:45:48I thought I'd missed you.

0:45:48 > 0:45:51I just, er... I couldn't get away.

0:45:51 > 0:45:52Well, I know how busy things can get.

0:45:54 > 0:45:56Look, there's nothing to worry about. It's safe.

0:45:56 > 0:45:58Guy knows what he's doing.

0:45:58 > 0:46:00It'll be what it'll be.

0:46:03 > 0:46:06Jac, you have it in you to be a fantastic mother.

0:46:07 > 0:46:09Emma loves you so.

0:46:22 > 0:46:25Her stats are in her boots.

0:46:25 > 0:46:28The ET tube's slipped down into the left lung. Listen.

0:46:31 > 0:46:33You're right! There's no air entry.

0:46:33 > 0:46:35I'll ease back the ET tube.

0:46:35 > 0:46:38I think you'll find that this is my procedure.

0:46:38 > 0:46:40Look, can you just get out?

0:46:45 > 0:46:46I've, erm...

0:46:47 > 0:46:50I've prepared some words, if you don't mind.

0:46:50 > 0:46:51Please.

0:46:54 > 0:46:57"I do not think there is any thrill that can go through the human heart

0:46:57 > 0:47:00"like that felt by the inventor...

0:47:00 > 0:47:05"as he sees some creation of the brain unfolding to success."

0:47:05 > 0:47:07Nikola Tesla?

0:47:10 > 0:47:12My legacy, the Herzig...

0:47:13 > 0:47:16..if I'm not around...

0:47:16 > 0:47:18I entrust to Jac Naylor.

0:47:18 > 0:47:19Of course.

0:47:21 > 0:47:25You warned me about my carotids, blood pressure.

0:47:28 > 0:47:30Don't feel bad if there's a misfortune.

0:47:32 > 0:47:33Thank you.

0:47:33 > 0:47:36And if an old man may offer some advice...

0:47:38 > 0:47:40..if things should get tricky...

0:47:40 > 0:47:43don't do something special for me. Do what you do every day.

0:47:57 > 0:47:59So, he'll be under by now, won't he?

0:48:01 > 0:48:05You know, Emma loves glitter. Or anything sparkly, really.

0:48:05 > 0:48:08And Saturday's the day I usually take her to the park,

0:48:08 > 0:48:10and if you were ever...

0:48:10 > 0:48:12- We'll arrange something.- OK.

0:48:18 > 0:48:20Right...

0:48:21 > 0:48:24I'll get the pharmacist to come and remind you how to take warfarin

0:48:24 > 0:48:26in case "one pill a day" isn't quite obvious enough.

0:48:26 > 0:48:30I'm sorry. But it was so good to feel better.

0:48:30 > 0:48:31I got muddled with the pills.

0:48:31 > 0:48:34Well, you didn't ruin the career of the man who saved your life.

0:48:34 > 0:48:35No harm done.

0:48:35 > 0:48:38- You pushed him! - Excuse me, not in here.

0:48:38 > 0:48:40Did you not think he might want to spend more time

0:48:40 > 0:48:42with me and my sister?

0:48:42 > 0:48:43I was trying to help him.

0:48:44 > 0:48:46You were trying to help him?

0:48:46 > 0:48:49"Oh, Jac needs me. Poor Jac can't cope.

0:48:49 > 0:48:53"Poor Jac treats her kid like she's dead."

0:48:53 > 0:48:55You're a mum?

0:48:55 > 0:48:58Yeah, that's right. He tells us everything about you.

0:48:58 > 0:48:59And your demands.

0:48:59 > 0:49:03You actually believe that you matter? You don't.

0:49:06 > 0:49:07Dad pities you.

0:49:12 > 0:49:16"My girlfriend, Kristina." No, no, "My wife, Kristina".

0:49:16 > 0:49:18Mi mujer.

0:49:18 > 0:49:20"Hola. This is my wife."

0:49:20 > 0:49:22"Such nice couple!"

0:49:22 > 0:49:23Are you all right?

0:49:23 > 0:49:26I'm just waiting for my...

0:49:26 > 0:49:28Yes.

0:49:41 > 0:49:43Digby, take over the endoscope, please.

0:49:46 > 0:49:48Pituitary rongeurs and curette.

0:49:56 > 0:49:59Still some more...

0:49:59 > 0:50:01tumour...

0:50:02 > 0:50:03..to get to.

0:50:05 > 0:50:07Damn!

0:50:07 > 0:50:09LOWPITCHED BEEPING

0:50:10 > 0:50:11Mr Self?

0:50:11 > 0:50:14Venous bleed. Get me some Surgicel.

0:50:15 > 0:50:17Suction.

0:50:19 > 0:50:20Quickly.

0:50:20 > 0:50:23Digby, concentrate. I can't see a bloody thing.

0:50:23 > 0:50:25Sorry. I'm so sorry.

0:50:25 > 0:50:28It's still bleeding.

0:50:28 > 0:50:31- So sorry, Professor Hope. - Either calm down or leave.

0:50:31 > 0:50:34This is what we do. We get control.

0:50:34 > 0:50:36Mix some Floseal.

0:50:39 > 0:50:41Will you call the patient's mother, please?

0:50:41 > 0:50:43I don't know why she wasn't called before.

0:50:43 > 0:50:45He said her mum was dead.

0:50:45 > 0:50:48I don't think so. The boyfriend's just asked me to phone her.

0:50:53 > 0:50:55This is for you.

0:50:55 > 0:50:56Ah, thanks.

0:50:56 > 0:51:00Thought we might have the neighbours round tonight, make the announcement.

0:51:02 > 0:51:05You treat me so much better than I deserve.

0:51:05 > 0:51:08Hey, if there's this great opportunity

0:51:08 > 0:51:12to pack him off to America, who cares if he deserves it, right?

0:51:12 > 0:51:14Yeah, of course.

0:51:14 > 0:51:16- I'll call Mike and Becky, then, yeah?- Great!

0:51:19 > 0:51:21HE SIGHS

0:51:21 > 0:51:22You OK?

0:51:22 > 0:51:24When will she wake?

0:51:24 > 0:51:25Soon, hopefully.

0:51:25 > 0:51:28Look, is there anything that you want to tell me?

0:51:30 > 0:51:32Congratulations. You're going to be a papa?

0:51:32 > 0:51:35Yes. We're delighted.

0:51:35 > 0:51:37My wife and I want children.

0:51:37 > 0:51:41You're married? I'm sorry, I thought you were boyfriend-girlfriend.

0:51:41 > 0:51:44- No, we're married. Two years ago. - Good for you.

0:51:44 > 0:51:46Raf, can I borrow you a second?

0:51:50 > 0:51:52I've just been on the phone to Kristina's mum.

0:51:52 > 0:51:53Her mum's dead.

0:51:53 > 0:51:56No, she isn't. I've just been speaking to her.

0:51:56 > 0:51:58She said Kristina has had a stalker for years.

0:51:58 > 0:52:00He's followed her here from Spain.

0:52:00 > 0:52:02He must have been there when she was run over

0:52:02 > 0:52:04and pretended to be her boyfriend.

0:52:04 > 0:52:06Er, excuse me...

0:52:11 > 0:52:13'Right-angled curette.'

0:52:14 > 0:52:16He could develop a post-op clot.

0:52:17 > 0:52:19The bleeding has stopped.

0:52:19 > 0:52:22Removing the last of the tumour.

0:52:25 > 0:52:28That's a CSF leak, isn't it? Oh, my God.

0:52:28 > 0:52:30His memory. He's really worried about keeping his memories.

0:52:30 > 0:52:33Dr Digby, the sixth-form poetry is not useful.

0:52:33 > 0:52:34Fat graft.

0:52:37 > 0:52:39Forget it's Professor Hope.

0:52:39 > 0:52:41I'll take over.

0:52:43 > 0:52:44Glue.

0:52:52 > 0:52:57Digby, insert a lumbar drain before Professor Hope leaves the theatre.

0:52:57 > 0:53:01Pity we couldn't get that last bit of tumour.

0:53:01 > 0:53:02"Pity"?

0:53:04 > 0:53:07Damage limitation is a success.

0:53:07 > 0:53:10If you want the miracle of life then you'd better become a heart surgeon.

0:53:20 > 0:53:21It's all been lies?

0:53:21 > 0:53:23She makes me chase her, then she screams.

0:53:23 > 0:53:26She makes me do it. She knows what she's doing!

0:53:26 > 0:53:29Don't you blame her, you pathetic, deluded creep.

0:53:29 > 0:53:31I believed you loved her.

0:53:32 > 0:53:34I'm not going to say "I told you so"!

0:53:34 > 0:53:36Don't talk to me.

0:53:36 > 0:53:40Look, Raf, I was nominated for UCLA fair and square.

0:53:40 > 0:53:42You're a mediocre surgeon.

0:53:42 > 0:53:45You probably wouldn't even be here if it wasn't for your daddy's money.

0:53:45 > 0:53:47I'm not interested in Amy.

0:53:47 > 0:53:50I'm not interested in wrecking your marriage.

0:53:50 > 0:53:53I'm not the one who cheated on you, Raf.

0:53:59 > 0:54:01Hey!

0:54:01 > 0:54:02Elliot's doing really well.

0:54:02 > 0:54:04Yeah. Brave man.

0:54:06 > 0:54:08Essie...

0:54:08 > 0:54:11Do you like...going to the cinema?

0:54:12 > 0:54:13Are you asking me out?

0:54:15 > 0:54:17No! Goodness, no.

0:54:19 > 0:54:22We want Jac Naylor to move the Herzig going forward.

0:54:22 > 0:54:25She's shown the token moral outrage,

0:54:25 > 0:54:28but I've seen more sentiment on a rusty razor.

0:54:28 > 0:54:31Yeah. May I remind you that Professor Hope is still in recovery?

0:54:31 > 0:54:35Yes, he's a wonderful man. But...

0:54:37 > 0:54:38..we're not a charity.

0:54:42 > 0:54:43No.

0:54:47 > 0:54:49Just need to get my neuro skills signed off for the dean,

0:54:49 > 0:54:52- if you have a second. - Thank you for your help today.

0:54:54 > 0:54:58I am aware that operating on a colleague is challenging.

0:54:58 > 0:54:59Yeah.

0:55:02 > 0:55:04Right, am I being dropped?

0:55:04 > 0:55:09As Professor Hope pointed out, you are a surgeon of sensitivities.

0:55:09 > 0:55:13I'm afraid you won't be continuing your training on neurosurgery.

0:55:21 > 0:55:25Chin up, Arthur. You don't want to be on his team, anyway.

0:55:25 > 0:55:27Yeah...

0:55:31 > 0:55:33It seemed like he really loved her.

0:55:33 > 0:55:36Yeah, some would say that's stalker clue number one.

0:55:37 > 0:55:39Let's leave it at that.

0:55:39 > 0:55:42Oh, Dr Tressler's reference on my desk first thing, please.

0:55:51 > 0:55:54Dr Tressler isn't ready for this fellowship.

0:55:54 > 0:55:56Oh, come on now, Raf.

0:55:56 > 0:55:59Don't let professional jealousy get in the way of his career.

0:55:59 > 0:56:04This isn't personal. He's promising, but he's easily distracted.

0:56:04 > 0:56:06- He makes stupid mistakes. - You didn't have any qualms

0:56:06 > 0:56:08about letting him lead a trauma nephrectomy.

0:56:08 > 0:56:10Which he failed.

0:56:10 > 0:56:11What?

0:56:11 > 0:56:14I covered for him as a goodwill gesture.

0:56:14 > 0:56:17But later, I had to throw him off my RTC case.

0:56:17 > 0:56:19If you throw him in at the deep end at UCLA,

0:56:19 > 0:56:23it could be embarrassing for us and unfair to him.

0:56:28 > 0:56:29KNOCK ON DOOR

0:56:31 > 0:56:33Erm...

0:56:33 > 0:56:35what Dad told me about you and your kid...

0:56:37 > 0:56:38..he didn't say it like that.

0:56:39 > 0:56:41Why would I care what your dad says?

0:56:54 > 0:56:58I gather you and Patsy have discussed the future of the Herzig.

0:57:00 > 0:57:06If I were you, Jac, I'd give her ideas some serious thought.

0:57:07 > 0:57:08I really would.

0:57:22 > 0:57:25You've earned it, soldier.

0:57:25 > 0:57:28I've called Mike and Becky. 8.30 all right?

0:57:28 > 0:57:29Look, I'm tired.

0:57:29 > 0:57:30Oh.

0:57:30 > 0:57:32Do you want some help with the reference?

0:57:32 > 0:57:34You know, you shout, I'll type.

0:57:34 > 0:57:39Harry's not going to UCLA. He's staying right here.

0:57:39 > 0:57:40On AAU.

0:57:40 > 0:57:42OK?

0:57:57 > 0:57:59Elliot, can you see me?

0:58:02 > 0:58:03Elliot?

0:58:06 > 0:58:08Yes.

0:58:08 > 0:58:10I can see you.

0:58:10 > 0:58:12Good.

0:58:15 > 0:58:17So, back to work tomorrow, then?

0:58:17 > 0:58:19Don't encourage him. He'd live here if he could.

0:58:23 > 0:58:26There was one tiny piece of tumour that we couldn't reach,

0:58:26 > 0:58:29but it shouldn't give you any problems.

0:58:29 > 0:58:31If it does, you just let me know.

0:58:32 > 0:58:33Thank you.

0:58:36 > 0:58:37Welcome back, Elliot.
