0:00:39 > 0:00:42Damn. Surgicel. Suction.
0:00:42 > 0:00:44Digby, concentrate, I can't see a bloody thing.
0:00:44 > 0:00:48If someone were to try and ask me out again...
0:00:48 > 0:00:50they might be surprised by the outcome.
0:00:50 > 0:00:52Pleasantly surprised?
0:00:52 > 0:00:54Do you like sea food?
0:00:54 > 0:00:57Insert a lumber drain before Professor Hope leaves theatre.
0:00:57 > 0:00:59Pity we couldn't get that last bit of tumour.
0:00:59 > 0:01:01Pity?
0:01:01 > 0:01:02I'm in. But I have terms.
0:01:02 > 0:01:05Excellent, they'll all be addressed.
0:01:05 > 0:01:06You have to tell him, OK?
0:01:16 > 0:01:21Right, I'm now closing the atrial appendage
0:01:21 > 0:01:23which of course reduces the risk of stroke.
0:01:27 > 0:01:30Ladies and gentlemen, can I just say it's so good to be back?
0:01:31 > 0:01:32Cut.
0:01:35 > 0:01:37Do you see what I mean?!
0:01:37 > 0:01:39Yes, I do.
0:01:42 > 0:01:43So how many do you think you need?
0:01:43 > 0:01:45Wish list - four nurses.
0:01:45 > 0:01:47At a push I can manage with a couple.
0:01:47 > 0:01:49I'll see what I can do but you know...
0:01:49 > 0:01:51Yeah, I know. No promises, right?
0:01:52 > 0:01:55Look, I can promise I'll find you at least one extra nurse.
0:01:55 > 0:01:56Thanks, Colette.
0:02:01 > 0:02:04Promoting you was a logical decision.
0:02:04 > 0:02:09In my view managing your own ward is the natural next step
0:02:09 > 0:02:11in your career progression.
0:02:11 > 0:02:14However, on the personal side...
0:02:14 > 0:02:17this penchant you have for older women...
0:02:17 > 0:02:19Put a lid on it.
0:02:19 > 0:02:21No more work place liaisons.
0:02:21 > 0:02:25Emotional involvement with nurses - off the agenda.
0:02:27 > 0:02:29Till you're through the probationary period anyway.
0:02:29 > 0:02:31- From now on I have no personal life. - Excellent.
0:02:31 > 0:02:33Dwelling on the past is a waste of time.
0:02:33 > 0:02:36Our focus at Holby should always be on the future.
0:02:36 > 0:02:38And my immediate future is checking in with the DNS.
0:02:41 > 0:02:43Colette does know that this is happening right?
0:02:43 > 0:02:45Colette is...
0:02:45 > 0:02:47It's an upper managerial issue.
0:02:47 > 0:02:49I just need you to hit the ground running.
0:02:49 > 0:02:52- But this is going to be hard enough...- Fletch, please.
0:02:52 > 0:02:55Don't make me think I've made the wrong choice already.
0:02:59 > 0:03:01Thank you.
0:03:05 > 0:03:06Phone?
0:03:06 > 0:03:08Phone. Car.
0:03:19 > 0:03:21Well done, everyone. Good, excellent work.
0:03:21 > 0:03:23Could you close up, please?
0:03:23 > 0:03:25Lovely, thank you very much.
0:03:25 > 0:03:28OK, let's see what's up next.
0:03:33 > 0:03:34Morning.
0:03:34 > 0:03:36Morning.
0:03:36 > 0:03:40Listen, I've got one of those internet deals.
0:03:40 > 0:03:44It's like a free bottle of house red at Rodolfo's.
0:03:44 > 0:03:45Could I tempt you?
0:03:48 > 0:03:49Oh, Mrs Jakiel.
0:03:49 > 0:03:51Now, have you done something to your hair?
0:03:51 > 0:03:54Midnight Nutmeg. Your mother said I should cover up the grey.
0:03:54 > 0:03:57Makes me look ten years younger, don't you think?
0:03:57 > 0:04:0015 at least. All set for today?
0:04:00 > 0:04:03Of course. Don't let me interrupt you.
0:04:09 > 0:04:11Rodolfo's. When?
0:04:12 > 0:04:16Tonight. It's the last night of the deal.
0:04:16 > 0:04:18- I can't.- That's OK. - LIFT DINGS
0:04:18 > 0:04:21Don't worry about it. It was just on the off-chance.
0:04:21 > 0:04:22- LIFT:- Doors opening.
0:04:22 > 0:04:23Sorry.
0:04:29 > 0:04:30But he's not back until tomorrow.
0:04:30 > 0:04:33I should be in charge for one more day. Today is my last day...
0:04:33 > 0:04:37Soz. Looks like you've got to put your crown back in its box early.
0:04:37 > 0:04:40Hey, I'm just as happy as you are that Elliot's back.
0:04:41 > 0:04:43Ah, I knew I should've brought it in.
0:04:43 > 0:04:45- What?- I made a banner.
0:04:45 > 0:04:46Of course. A banner.
0:04:48 > 0:04:49Hello.
0:04:49 > 0:04:53Hey! Look at you! You look the bomb, professor!
0:04:53 > 0:04:56Adele and Mo.
0:04:56 > 0:04:58Should I have called? Should I have told you?
0:04:58 > 0:05:00I should have called. I'm so sorry...
0:05:00 > 0:05:04Yeah! You so should have called. I made a banner. It's at home now!
0:05:04 > 0:05:06I wasn't expecting you back until tomorrow.
0:05:06 > 0:05:08You sure you really want to take this much on
0:05:08 > 0:05:10- a day before schedule? - No other way.
0:05:10 > 0:05:13It's bike riding. I'm fine. Better than fine.
0:05:15 > 0:05:16Ready to be a proper bomb.
0:05:19 > 0:05:21Yay, Professor! You hit those pedals.
0:05:25 > 0:05:29Sacha Levy, General Surgical Registrar -
0:05:29 > 0:05:31what's not to be proud of?
0:05:31 > 0:05:34Newly appointed Acting Consultant actually.
0:05:34 > 0:05:37That's good? That's very good, is it?
0:05:37 > 0:05:39Oh, yes.
0:05:39 > 0:05:40So, Vera Henry.
0:05:42 > 0:05:45You stripped her left leg in April.
0:05:45 > 0:05:48Do you remember her? Redhead. A widow.
0:05:48 > 0:05:51Her husband was a Parisian piano tuner.
0:05:52 > 0:05:56- FRENCH ACCENT:- Ah, oui, oui, oui! I remember Madam 'Enry.
0:05:56 > 0:05:59Dr Digby, would you like to talk us through this procedure, please?
0:05:59 > 0:06:02Yes. So your avulsions will be performed
0:06:02 > 0:06:04under general anaesthetic.
0:06:05 > 0:06:06Is that what Vera had?
0:06:06 > 0:06:09You know we can't discuss another patient's treatment.
0:06:09 > 0:06:13She would have done. Trollop. She has no scars.
0:06:13 > 0:06:17Many people can attest to that fact, if you take my meaning.
0:06:17 > 0:06:20Well, recovery times depend on many factors, so...
0:06:20 > 0:06:23Well, Vera was done in the morning and home by tea.
0:06:23 > 0:06:26Yes, but in your case,
0:06:26 > 0:06:29because we're going to be tackling the veins on both your legs,
0:06:29 > 0:06:31you're going to be with us overnight.
0:06:31 > 0:06:34Oh, well, as long as I'm going home with no scars.
0:06:37 > 0:06:41(May I have a word with my consultant in private?)
0:06:41 > 0:06:43Of course.
0:06:47 > 0:06:50It is a procedure with an excellent success rate.
0:06:50 > 0:06:54I know. Vera wearing sheer 20-denier stockings.
0:06:55 > 0:07:00That young nurse in the lift, I saw the dork she came in with.
0:07:00 > 0:07:03Now, what's the story there?
0:07:03 > 0:07:06Stella, I'm not about to start discussing my relationships.
0:07:06 > 0:07:08Oh, so you have a relationship?
0:07:09 > 0:07:12Yes, well, we're kind of...
0:07:13 > 0:07:15We're, erm, sort of, dating.
0:07:15 > 0:07:18I knew it. I have a sixth sense.
0:07:18 > 0:07:20Now you know I talk to your mother?
0:07:22 > 0:07:27That girl, all kissy kissy and out tonight with another man?
0:07:27 > 0:07:29Black underwear?
0:07:29 > 0:07:31Is that the kind of woman you want?
0:07:33 > 0:07:35Are you having a laugh?
0:07:35 > 0:07:38- Not that I'm aware of. No. - I've just come from HR.
0:07:38 > 0:07:41- Oh, yeah.- Where I'm asking for an agency nurse for AAU,
0:07:41 > 0:07:43only to be told there's already an extra nurse on AAU.
0:07:43 > 0:07:45A new Ward Manager.
0:07:45 > 0:07:48As Director of Nursing, you didn't think to ask for my input?
0:07:48 > 0:07:49Er, not especially, no.
0:07:51 > 0:07:52Have you finished?
0:07:52 > 0:07:55Well, looks like I must have, if you say so.
0:07:55 > 0:07:57- You are the puppet master after all. - Oh, please.
0:07:57 > 0:08:00You want to be careful with all those strings, Guy -
0:08:00 > 0:08:02mine, Elliot's, Jac's.
0:08:02 > 0:08:04It could all end up in one hell of a tangle.
0:08:04 > 0:08:06Just a tad over dramatic?
0:08:06 > 0:08:08What about the welfare of the patients?
0:08:10 > 0:08:12You've lost sight of what you came here to do.
0:08:12 > 0:08:14Is that right?
0:08:14 > 0:08:16You don't want me involved in decision-making any longer,
0:08:16 > 0:08:18that's fine.
0:08:18 > 0:08:21I'm going to go back to wards to do some real nursing.
0:08:21 > 0:08:22What are you on about?
0:08:23 > 0:08:27Maybe I need to consider whether I even have a future here.
0:08:27 > 0:08:29Colette, please, sit down.
0:08:29 > 0:08:31This new Ward Manager - she better be good.
0:08:36 > 0:08:38So we're going to make one hell of a team.
0:08:38 > 0:08:42Wheels well-oiled and running smoothly. Anything you need, ask me.
0:08:42 > 0:08:45Any concerns, any hint of rust, come find me.
0:08:45 > 0:08:48Well, go on. That's enough standing around looking gorgeous!
0:08:48 > 0:08:49Chop chop!
0:08:49 > 0:08:52Remember, you need me, you find me. I'll be right here.
0:08:54 > 0:08:56I may need a little more convincing.
0:08:57 > 0:08:59Excuse me?
0:08:59 > 0:09:02I've known Tess Bateman for many years.
0:09:02 > 0:09:04Well, I've nothing but respect for Tess.
0:09:04 > 0:09:06And I'm here to do a good job.
0:09:06 > 0:09:09As I say, I'll wait to be convinced.
0:09:17 > 0:09:19Good to have you on board.
0:09:19 > 0:09:21Cheers.
0:09:41 > 0:09:43Elliot's back. A day early. Skinny latte.
0:09:43 > 0:09:45Marvellous, thank you.
0:09:45 > 0:09:48Adele reckons the barista fancies me.
0:09:48 > 0:09:50So what's up with you?
0:09:51 > 0:09:53- It's Essie. - And what's up with Essie?
0:09:55 > 0:09:57I think she might be seeing Derwood Thompson.
0:09:57 > 0:10:01No, she's not. He's hitched his wagon to this girl called Nicky.
0:10:01 > 0:10:03We treated her nympho-nan for the clap last Christmas.
0:10:03 > 0:10:05I doubt he's a two timer.
0:10:07 > 0:10:09So how come Elliot's back a day early?
0:10:09 > 0:10:11Because he feels fantastic and he's back at the helm. Big time.
0:10:11 > 0:10:12Great.
0:10:14 > 0:10:15Sorry.
0:10:15 > 0:10:18Don't be. It's Elliot, you know?
0:10:18 > 0:10:20Everybody wants him back, I want him back.
0:10:23 > 0:10:25Oh, don't look now.
0:10:33 > 0:10:34So you and Colette...
0:10:34 > 0:10:37is that anything that will affect AAU?
0:10:37 > 0:10:38Absolutely not.
0:10:38 > 0:10:40Good. It's all I need to know. PAGER BEEPS
0:10:43 > 0:10:45Mr Yardley? Any more chest pain?
0:10:46 > 0:10:48"Pain" is an exaggeration.
0:10:48 > 0:10:51He thinks if he thinks he's fit and keeps telling himself
0:10:51 > 0:10:53there's nothing wrong with him, everything is fine.
0:10:53 > 0:10:56And that'll be why you decided to drive yourself here, is it?
0:10:56 > 0:10:58- It's not wise.- "Not wise?"
0:10:58 > 0:11:00Surely that's an understatement.
0:11:00 > 0:11:04- Joan.- What if there is something wrong with your heart again?
0:11:04 > 0:11:06Again?
0:11:06 > 0:11:10He had a thing, they fixed it with a graft.
0:11:10 > 0:11:12June, 2011.
0:11:12 > 0:11:14"He" is perfectly capable of speaking for himself.
0:11:14 > 0:11:18OK, then. Well, we're going to need as much information as we can.
0:11:18 > 0:11:21And do you know what? I don't really mind who gives it to us.
0:11:21 > 0:11:23But once we get that information we'll send your husband...
0:11:23 > 0:11:24He's not my husband.
0:11:26 > 0:11:2825 years she was my PA.
0:11:29 > 0:11:32I deem it as an act of charity to keep the old girl occupied
0:11:32 > 0:11:34now we're retired.
0:11:34 > 0:11:36Well, we're going to send you up to Darwin,
0:11:36 > 0:11:37which is our cardiothoracic ward.
0:11:37 > 0:11:40I'll call for a car. We'll go back to Burford Grange.
0:11:40 > 0:11:42I'm not going to two hospitals in one day.
0:11:42 > 0:11:45Look, this name's not going to mean anything to you,
0:11:45 > 0:11:47but our Professor Hope's back.
0:11:47 > 0:11:51- Is that good? - Good? Today's your lucky day.
0:11:51 > 0:11:53He's like a cardio maestro.
0:11:53 > 0:11:56There's nobody better. Not in the NHS, not private, not anywhere.
0:11:56 > 0:12:00So you sit tight, Mr Yardley, and I'll go and get us a porter.
0:12:00 > 0:12:02You always have to know best, don't you?
0:12:06 > 0:12:08Fletch, prepare yourself for a MAJAX.
0:12:08 > 0:12:11Three lorries, a coach, seven cars and a bike.
0:12:11 > 0:12:13Multiple injuries - feeding through soon.
0:12:13 > 0:12:16- Right, OK. I just need to sort out a transfer.- Chop chop!
0:12:16 > 0:12:19GUY: Well, if you can't hack it on AAU, Colette,
0:12:19 > 0:12:21stop playing and do what you're paid to do.
0:12:21 > 0:12:23I don't get it, Guy. Why did you bring him here?
0:12:23 > 0:12:25I always have your back.
0:12:25 > 0:12:28- Sorry, I should have told you about Fletch.- Yes. You should.
0:12:39 > 0:12:40Are you a dancer?
0:12:40 > 0:12:42Not so you'd notice.
0:12:42 > 0:12:44You haven't put down a next of kin.
0:12:46 > 0:12:48Estelle.
0:12:48 > 0:12:50But people call you Essie?
0:12:51 > 0:12:55Some people do. Estelle and Stella.
0:12:56 > 0:12:59A pair of stars. Twinkle, twinkle.
0:13:00 > 0:13:02Next of kin?
0:13:02 > 0:13:03I'm not expecting to die.
0:13:05 > 0:13:07Have I done something to offend you?
0:13:07 > 0:13:09I don't know... Have you?
0:13:11 > 0:13:14There's really not a number we should have?
0:13:14 > 0:13:16Give it to me.
0:13:19 > 0:13:21This is Xavier's number.
0:13:21 > 0:13:22- MOCKINGLY:- Xavier?
0:13:22 > 0:13:24He wishes to ask me out,
0:13:24 > 0:13:28but like many men he is unnecessarily unsure of himself
0:13:28 > 0:13:32and he suffers because there is something in his way.
0:13:33 > 0:13:35What's that?
0:13:35 > 0:13:37A tart called Vera Henry.
0:13:39 > 0:13:41Now that's a bit strong.
0:13:41 > 0:13:46What else do you call a woman who dances with one man on Tuesdays
0:13:46 > 0:13:49and goes to the pictures with another on Fridays?
0:13:49 > 0:13:52Maybe the men are just her friends?
0:13:52 > 0:13:53Men and women can't be friends.
0:13:56 > 0:14:02So I am guessing that one of her companions is Xavier?
0:14:04 > 0:14:06You should talk to him.
0:14:06 > 0:14:09If you want him, don't wait for him.
0:14:09 > 0:14:11Most men in my experience are rubbish.
0:14:12 > 0:14:14Little star...
0:14:14 > 0:14:19men like Xavier and Sacha are not rubbish. But you?
0:14:19 > 0:14:21You need to stop behaving like Vera.
0:14:28 > 0:14:30That's Professor Hope, the man you want.
0:14:30 > 0:14:32I call him The Bomb!
0:14:32 > 0:14:33Thanks, Adele. Off you pop.
0:14:33 > 0:14:36Hello, I'm Miss Effanga, part of Professor Hope's cardiac team.
0:14:36 > 0:14:40Professor Hope? We've been told that you're the very best person
0:14:40 > 0:14:42- to take care of Fredrick. - I'm flattered.
0:14:44 > 0:14:46Mr Yardley, hello, I'm Professor Hope.
0:14:48 > 0:14:52You have presented with what is termed non-specific symptoms.
0:14:52 > 0:14:56AAU have identified five possible causes,
0:14:56 > 0:15:00but all we have here is an ECG that looks normal.
0:15:00 > 0:15:03But there is cause for concern?
0:15:03 > 0:15:06- Mr Yardley's history. - And chest pains this morning.
0:15:06 > 0:15:09Yes. Mr Yardley, would you indulge me?
0:15:10 > 0:15:13Waiting for a stress echo seems a bit senseless.
0:15:13 > 0:15:15I'd just like to listen to your heart.
0:15:16 > 0:15:18- It's cold.- Very sorry.
0:15:21 > 0:15:23Is that better?
0:15:27 > 0:15:29Right.
0:15:32 > 0:15:34Would you pick that up for me?
0:15:34 > 0:15:35HE SIGHS
0:15:42 > 0:15:44Ridiculous.
0:15:44 > 0:15:47Now, may I...?
0:15:53 > 0:15:55OK, thank you. You can do up that.
0:15:55 > 0:15:57There's no difference in rhythm.
0:15:57 > 0:15:58You're saying he's fine?
0:15:58 > 0:16:00Sadly not.
0:16:01 > 0:16:05In light of today's episode and Mr Yardley's previous surgery,
0:16:05 > 0:16:08I'd like to order a chest CT, FBC and an echocardiogram.
0:16:08 > 0:16:10On it.
0:16:10 > 0:16:12OK, thank you both very much.
0:16:22 > 0:16:25Head CT is clear, GCS is normal.
0:16:25 > 0:16:27OK. Triage two, bed one.
0:16:31 > 0:16:35Well, far be it from me to look a gift horse in the mouth but...?
0:16:35 > 0:16:38Yes, I'm back on the floor for the foreseeable this time.
0:16:38 > 0:16:39It's kind of refreshing.
0:16:39 > 0:16:42Right, well, would you mind taking over from Nurse Fletcher?
0:16:42 > 0:16:44No, of course. That's fine.
0:16:54 > 0:16:56So would you like me to...?
0:16:56 > 0:16:58Put some pressure on? Yeah, why not?
0:17:07 > 0:17:09Argh! I'm not a practice dummy!
0:17:09 > 0:17:11Can you be careful, please?
0:17:11 > 0:17:13- Have you got it? - Yep.- No, you haven't.
0:17:13 > 0:17:16Of course I have.
0:17:16 > 0:17:19The patient and I would like to think that one of you has.
0:17:19 > 0:17:22- Nice to meet your acquaintance, Mr Stone.- Stoner.
0:17:22 > 0:17:25Real head, real agony, do you get that?
0:17:25 > 0:17:28She does. Thank you, Nurse Sheward.
0:17:28 > 0:17:31- I'll leave you with Nurse Sheward. - Oh, great(!)
0:17:35 > 0:17:37That's nasty.
0:17:38 > 0:17:40You don't say.
0:17:44 > 0:17:46So have you been drinking?
0:17:46 > 0:17:48What's it to you?
0:17:48 > 0:17:50Alcohol, medication - it's my job to check.
0:17:51 > 0:17:54I've already blown into the bag for cops -
0:17:54 > 0:17:57I'd be in handcuffs by now if I'd been drinking.
0:17:57 > 0:17:59The crash wasn't my fault.
0:17:59 > 0:18:01It's all right, no-one was saying that.
0:18:01 > 0:18:03Speaking of smells, though - what's that you're wearing?
0:18:03 > 0:18:05It's perfume.
0:18:05 > 0:18:08Get away. There I thought the health service
0:18:08 > 0:18:11was stuffing cherry blossom into the pillows.
0:18:11 > 0:18:12It's gorgeous.
0:18:12 > 0:18:16You smelling flowers? Promise me one thing...
0:18:16 > 0:18:18if you start seeing bright lights at the end of corridors,
0:18:18 > 0:18:20don't walk towards them, OK?
0:18:20 > 0:18:21- Not this time.- OK.
0:18:24 > 0:18:27Bikers don't often bounce. You've been lucky.
0:18:27 > 0:18:30Argh! Have I?
0:18:30 > 0:18:33I think you'll find that luck is a subjective concept.
0:18:36 > 0:18:39Stay on it. Admit, allocate and re-allocate.
0:18:39 > 0:18:42Now, I've been told that you know the MAJAX drill,
0:18:42 > 0:18:45but I've yet to see whether you can remain...
0:18:45 > 0:18:48sufficiently focused, Nurse Fletcher.
0:18:48 > 0:18:51- Yeah, yeah. I mean I can and I will. - Then do it.
0:18:59 > 0:19:02Hey. You're somebody's favourite.
0:19:02 > 0:19:06- Am I? - Absolutely. Mrs Vintage Kimono?
0:19:06 > 0:19:09Your friend from the lift - she is a total fan.
0:19:09 > 0:19:10Should I be jealous?
0:19:10 > 0:19:12I really wouldn't know.
0:19:14 > 0:19:15Updated theatre list.
0:19:17 > 0:19:18Thanks.
0:19:22 > 0:19:24You might want to look at the shunts?
0:19:27 > 0:19:29Mm.
0:19:29 > 0:19:30Yep.
0:19:33 > 0:19:34Thank you.
0:19:37 > 0:19:41- We're clear for theatre, yeah? - Flail chest. Priority. Go.
0:19:41 > 0:19:43Right, I need you to do me a favour,
0:19:43 > 0:19:45I need you to discharge Mr Feltham in bed six.
0:19:45 > 0:19:47Make sure his meds are up-to-date
0:19:47 > 0:19:48and he gets his outpatient's follow up.
0:19:48 > 0:19:51Then check the lines in bed two and four for me, OK?
0:19:51 > 0:19:53Right, OK. You.
0:19:53 > 0:19:55First things first, we need to stabilise the foreign body,
0:19:55 > 0:19:57so let's get her into triage three, please.
0:19:57 > 0:19:59Thing's are hotting up in here, aren't they?
0:19:59 > 0:20:03Well, there's been at least two fatalities.
0:20:03 > 0:20:05You can go off a person, you know.
0:20:05 > 0:20:07Why? What have I done?
0:20:07 > 0:20:09You just tried to survivor guilt-trip me.
0:20:09 > 0:20:11BUZZING
0:20:11 > 0:20:13Right, I'll be back in a bit.
0:20:13 > 0:20:16- Press that if you need anything, OK? - All right.
0:20:35 > 0:20:37There's loads of people who would have snuffed it
0:20:37 > 0:20:39if it wasn't for Professor Hope.
0:20:39 > 0:20:41Yes, we've been told he's excellent.
0:20:41 > 0:20:43He's been away?
0:20:43 > 0:20:45Yeah. He wasn't due back until tomorrow.
0:20:45 > 0:20:47How lucky's that for you?
0:20:47 > 0:20:50It's unusual to start back early after a holiday. He must be keen.
0:20:50 > 0:20:52Holiday? No, he wasn't on holiday.
0:20:52 > 0:20:53He had a brain tumour.
0:20:53 > 0:20:55He's all right now, though.
0:20:55 > 0:20:58The chief of the hospital's a brain surgeon.
0:20:58 > 0:20:59Hello.
0:20:59 > 0:21:02- Ah, speak of the devil. I'll see you in a bit.- Thank you.
0:21:02 > 0:21:03Right...
0:21:06 > 0:21:08..your test results are unequivocal I'm afraid.
0:21:08 > 0:21:10Which means?
0:21:10 > 0:21:12What they showed is certain.
0:21:12 > 0:21:15I know what unequivocal means. I'm not a moron.
0:21:15 > 0:21:16No, of course not.
0:21:17 > 0:21:19Professor Hope suspected that you had
0:21:19 > 0:21:21an infection at the site of the previous graft.
0:21:21 > 0:21:23He was right.
0:21:23 > 0:21:27Your white blood cell count, which backs up the CT.
0:21:27 > 0:21:30As I said - unequivocal.
0:21:30 > 0:21:31Tell me what's wrong.
0:21:31 > 0:21:33Then tell me if you are capable of fixing it,
0:21:33 > 0:21:36or if we need to go back to Burford Grange.
0:21:36 > 0:21:39I'm sorry. I really didn't mean to offend you.
0:21:41 > 0:21:45There are two options. Ms Effanga, would you explain?
0:21:45 > 0:21:47There's an infection in the artery that you had replaced,
0:21:47 > 0:21:48but we can clear that up.
0:21:48 > 0:21:50Will it be difficult?
0:21:50 > 0:21:53We can put you on bypass and perform a standard procedure,
0:21:53 > 0:21:55or take the axillary route.
0:21:55 > 0:21:58I suggest we take the axillary route as that will lessen the risk
0:21:58 > 0:22:02of major surgery and buy us some more time to fix the graft.
0:22:02 > 0:22:05You sound like you know what you're talking about.
0:22:05 > 0:22:08Of course with any surgery there are risks.
0:22:08 > 0:22:12But in my opinion this procedure is necessary.
0:22:12 > 0:22:14It's also relatively straightforward.
0:22:14 > 0:22:16We'll book the theatre and re-graft the artery.
0:22:22 > 0:22:23Good, right.
0:22:30 > 0:22:32Acute compartment syndrome.
0:22:32 > 0:22:35The ultrasound indicated internal bleeding,
0:22:35 > 0:22:37so the MAJAX chest injury took priority.
0:22:37 > 0:22:40OK, acute compartment syndrome means, watch my lips,
0:22:40 > 0:22:44if he doesn't get to theatre soon he's going to lose that leg.
0:22:44 > 0:22:46Excuse me. So what do we do?
0:22:46 > 0:22:49He's prepped and ready to go. Why would you mess with that?
0:22:49 > 0:22:51Because the chest injury ranked higher.
0:22:51 > 0:22:53His rib cage was detached from the chest wall.
0:22:53 > 0:22:54Did you even schedule his obs?
0:22:54 > 0:22:56Look, it was a judgment call.
0:22:56 > 0:23:00To delay an emergency fasciotomy? Genius(!)
0:23:00 > 0:23:02I'm going to try and divert the flail chest patient into ITU.
0:23:02 > 0:23:04They should be able to stabilise him there.
0:23:04 > 0:23:07- Do you think you can do that? - Have you met me?
0:23:07 > 0:23:10Mr Griffin should have been performing
0:23:10 > 0:23:11that emergency fasciotomy already...
0:23:11 > 0:23:14How many more times do you want me to say I'm sorry?
0:23:14 > 0:23:15Sorry and thank you?
0:23:15 > 0:23:17You know what? It's just good to know that you've got my back.
0:23:17 > 0:23:19Let's get one thing straight -
0:23:19 > 0:23:21I don't have your back, I have his.
0:23:21 > 0:23:23Oh, right, well, now I understand.
0:23:23 > 0:23:25Excuse me for playing with a full hand of stupid.
0:23:25 > 0:23:28Thanks, Colette, on behalf of patients everywhere.
0:23:28 > 0:23:29What is it with you two?
0:23:30 > 0:23:32We need to get the theatre cleared.
0:23:32 > 0:23:34That doesn't answer my question.
0:23:39 > 0:23:43We had a parting of the ways - a long time ago.
0:23:43 > 0:23:46Nobody's fault. We'll get over it.
0:23:46 > 0:23:50Whatever happened then, today you work together or not at all.
0:23:50 > 0:23:53We do not do collateral damage here.
0:23:53 > 0:23:54Capisce?
0:24:04 > 0:24:09Mo, your sister has summoned me to my own office.
0:24:09 > 0:24:10Any ideas why?
0:24:10 > 0:24:13The smart money would be on balloons, glitter and probably cake.
0:24:13 > 0:24:16Right, join me there.
0:24:16 > 0:24:17Two ticks.
0:24:20 > 0:24:23Doctor, Fredrick would like to have another word with you
0:24:23 > 0:24:24about his operation.
0:24:24 > 0:24:26OK, I'll just go and get Professor Hope for you.
0:24:26 > 0:24:28No, Fredrick wants to talk to you.
0:24:28 > 0:24:29Sure.
0:24:32 > 0:24:34Mr Yardley, you have questions?
0:24:36 > 0:24:39He's had brain surgery, he's only back today.
0:24:39 > 0:24:41Someone told you?
0:24:41 > 0:24:42We heard.
0:24:42 > 0:24:45Are you 100% sure your Professor is back at the top of his game?
0:24:45 > 0:24:46Absolutely.
0:24:47 > 0:24:51Are you? Are you sure you're not just hoping that he is?
0:24:51 > 0:24:53He's already been in theatre today.
0:24:53 > 0:24:55You're not worried he might be overdoing it?
0:24:55 > 0:24:59Professor Hope is back because he's ready to be, he's fit for anything.
0:24:59 > 0:25:02But do you think he's at the top of his game?
0:25:04 > 0:25:06See? That's what I thought.
0:25:07 > 0:25:12We were wondering if you all might be trying to prove a point.
0:25:15 > 0:25:18You could be putting him under too much pressure.
0:25:20 > 0:25:23We'd both be less worried
0:25:23 > 0:25:27if you did Fredrick's operation, dear.
0:25:27 > 0:25:28If I did it?
0:25:28 > 0:25:30You're capable of doing it, aren't you?
0:25:30 > 0:25:33- Well, of course but... - That's what I like to hear.
0:25:33 > 0:25:35- So you're my surgeon now. - OK.
0:25:50 > 0:25:52Voila!
0:25:52 > 0:25:54The fruit basket is because, well, flowers are just boring
0:25:54 > 0:25:56and it's just healthier, isn't it?
0:25:56 > 0:25:58And water because if you drink loads of water
0:25:58 > 0:26:00it'll stop you from getting headaches.
0:26:00 > 0:26:01I don't get headaches.
0:26:01 > 0:26:03And you should be eating plenty of fish. Fish is brain food.
0:26:03 > 0:26:06- I couldn't get any fish, though. - Brain food, yes.
0:26:06 > 0:26:10I don't recall Mr Self promoted the eating of seafood at all.
0:26:10 > 0:26:11Remiss of him.
0:26:11 > 0:26:15- Do you think I should pull him up on that?- You so should.
0:26:15 > 0:26:18Ah, Mo, I'm being rehydrated, would you care for a sip?
0:26:18 > 0:26:20What's up, doc?
0:26:20 > 0:26:22I'm really sorry, Professor Hope...
0:26:22 > 0:26:25Fredrick Yardley doesn't want you to operate.
0:26:27 > 0:26:29I've been trying to figure it out.
0:26:29 > 0:26:30Do what now?
0:26:30 > 0:26:33You were riding a motorbike on a motorway with no crash helmet?
0:26:33 > 0:26:34Seriously?
0:26:34 > 0:26:36Maybe I was afraid of messing up my hair(!)
0:26:36 > 0:26:39So what is it? An adrenaline junkie?
0:26:39 > 0:26:42Adrenaline junkie? What are you Dr Freud now?
0:26:42 > 0:26:44All I want is to make sure we get you the right kind of help.
0:26:44 > 0:26:45I don't need help.
0:26:45 > 0:26:49Now, if you don't mind, I prefer the nurse that smells like flowers.
0:26:51 > 0:26:53Fasciotomy's on target.
0:26:53 > 0:26:54Thanks.
0:26:54 > 0:26:57Your little friend thinks that I'm a headcase.
0:26:57 > 0:26:59He'll be getting me a counsellor next.
0:26:59 > 0:27:02Well, is it true you weren't wearing a helmet?
0:27:02 > 0:27:04Then maybe he should.
0:27:04 > 0:27:05Do you ever see Brando wear one?
0:27:11 > 0:27:15Yeah. All right, Nicky. Nicky, sorry, I can't tonight.
0:27:15 > 0:27:16Tomorrow?
0:27:18 > 0:27:19All right, OK... Bye-bye.
0:27:29 > 0:27:32I managed to rub him up the wrong way. From the start.
0:27:32 > 0:27:35All that unequivocal nonsense. I made him anxious.
0:27:36 > 0:27:39Did he say I'd made him anxious?
0:27:39 > 0:27:40He didn't say much.
0:27:40 > 0:27:42- Well, if he's happy with you... - Seems so.
0:27:42 > 0:27:45- And you don't mind taking over...? - That's what I'm here for.
0:27:45 > 0:27:48A clash of personalities, that's all. Home alone too long.
0:27:48 > 0:27:51I'll have to brush up on my interpersonal skills.
0:27:51 > 0:27:54On the plus side there is some unexpected downtime.
0:27:54 > 0:27:56That's got to be a good thing, first day back?
0:27:56 > 0:27:58No, it's not a good thing...
0:27:58 > 0:28:00particularly on my first day back.
0:28:04 > 0:28:07Here we go.
0:28:07 > 0:28:08Hello, Mrs Stone.
0:28:17 > 0:28:19Quick question.
0:28:19 > 0:28:22When was the last time you saw any sort of doctor?
0:28:23 > 0:28:24Couple of years.
0:28:24 > 0:28:26Couple? How about six?
0:28:26 > 0:28:29The last date on your GP's notes is 2008.
0:28:29 > 0:28:31Well, I've haven't really got time to go hanging around
0:28:31 > 0:28:33in some quack's office.
0:28:33 > 0:28:35I want the other nurse.
0:28:35 > 0:28:37- Nurse! Nurse! - BUZZING
0:28:37 > 0:28:39Some of your family history's obvious.
0:28:39 > 0:28:40You're not allowed.
0:28:40 > 0:28:42- Nurse!- The more you tell us the more we can do to help.
0:28:42 > 0:28:45- That's all we want to do, mate... - Nurse!
0:28:46 > 0:28:49Your pulse is elevated, and your blood pressure is low.
0:28:49 > 0:28:51- Apart from your head, does it hurt anywhere else?- I'm fine.
0:28:51 > 0:28:53Come on, you need to tell us.
0:28:55 > 0:28:57- The gut's not brilliant. - OK, let's get an ultrasound -
0:28:57 > 0:28:59there could be some internal bleeding.
0:28:59 > 0:29:01Can you get me a doctor, please?
0:29:01 > 0:29:03- Just leave me be. - No, we can't do that.
0:29:03 > 0:29:05- Yeah, you can.- No, we really can't.
0:29:07 > 0:29:09I'm never having chemo.
0:29:09 > 0:29:11OK, he's clammy and cold and he's got a weak radial pulse.
0:29:11 > 0:29:13That's evidence of peripheral shutdown.
0:29:13 > 0:29:15We need to get some fluids into him. Stat!
0:29:15 > 0:29:18Right, can you get me a Sengstaken tube as quick as possible, like now?
0:29:18 > 0:29:20I know what's wrong. Just don't waste your time.
0:29:20 > 0:29:23We don't know what it is, but we're going to find out, all right?
0:29:27 > 0:29:29Let's get him on to his side. This way.
0:29:29 > 0:29:32Right. Over you go. Right. OK.
0:29:32 > 0:29:34You done this before?
0:29:34 > 0:29:35Um, yeah. Twice.
0:29:36 > 0:29:38Now this is going to feel uncomfortable
0:29:38 > 0:29:39but I need you to... No.
0:29:39 > 0:29:42Try and relax and breathe through your nose.
0:29:42 > 0:29:44That's it, there we go, that's better.
0:29:44 > 0:29:45Almost there. Almost there.
0:29:45 > 0:29:49Right, I need to inflate the tube and get some fluid resuscitation.
0:29:49 > 0:29:51- Has he been cross-matched? - Yep, O-positive.
0:29:51 > 0:29:53What's happening?
0:29:53 > 0:29:54Possible oesophageal varices.
0:29:54 > 0:29:57We needed to act or he would have exsanguinated.
0:29:57 > 0:29:58Colette? Did you OK this?
0:29:58 > 0:30:00- She didn't have to. - It's OK, it's working.
0:30:00 > 0:30:02- Are you ready to take him into theatre?- Yeah.
0:30:02 > 0:30:05- Come on. Let's go. - Wait till he's clear of the bed.
0:30:07 > 0:30:08- OK, good. - Right, go.
0:30:14 > 0:30:18- Damn. - Is something wrong, Mr Levy?
0:30:18 > 0:30:19Everything's wrong.
0:30:19 > 0:30:22Essie's dating a duplicitous gynae, I've got my mother's chief crazy
0:30:22 > 0:30:25in to rub my nose in it, and I can't even sign a discharge form.
0:30:25 > 0:30:28Ah, right, OK. Sharing.
0:30:28 > 0:30:29Good.
0:30:29 > 0:30:31I mean, who am I trying to kid.
0:30:31 > 0:30:33I never really stood a chance, did I?
0:30:33 > 0:30:35She's way out my league.
0:30:35 > 0:30:37Is she?
0:30:39 > 0:30:42You and I, Arthur, we're the same -
0:30:42 > 0:30:44we're the nice guys they just want to be friends with.
0:30:44 > 0:30:47But when push comes to shove, it's the bad boys they roll over for.
0:30:47 > 0:30:49- What bad boys? - Derwood Thompson.
0:30:49 > 0:30:51Whoa. Mr T?!
0:30:51 > 0:30:53Yeah, I know. I know but he's the other guy.
0:30:53 > 0:30:55He's the one who's supposedly two-timing her.
0:30:55 > 0:30:56Right, OK.
0:30:56 > 0:31:00That is terrible, clearly, but what are you going to do?
0:31:01 > 0:31:02Me?
0:31:02 > 0:31:06If it was Maria who was being debased by another man,
0:31:06 > 0:31:09I wouldn't just stand by, you know, I'd do what I could to protect her.
0:31:09 > 0:31:11You know, it's not about who's dating who.
0:31:11 > 0:31:14It's about honour, it's about chivalry.
0:31:14 > 0:31:16Well, Arthur,
0:31:16 > 0:31:18you really were born about 50 years too late, weren't you?
0:31:18 > 0:31:24Mmmm, yes. Yeah, well, you know, just do the right thing.
0:31:24 > 0:31:26By Essie so...
0:31:37 > 0:31:40There's a lot of serosanguineous fluid.
0:31:40 > 0:31:44Ah - there's the culprit.
0:31:44 > 0:31:46It's a ruptured cyst.
0:31:46 > 0:31:49I'll marsupialise it by taking all of the wall
0:31:49 > 0:31:53and leave the base intact so it doesn't recollect.
0:31:54 > 0:31:56You know he came off his motorbike not wearing a crash helmet
0:31:56 > 0:31:58and only got a few stitches.
0:31:58 > 0:32:01Well, some people are just stupid.
0:32:01 > 0:32:04Maybe he needs a psych referral?
0:32:04 > 0:32:06Bovie, please.
0:32:06 > 0:32:09I think he's convinced himself that he's got cancer.
0:32:11 > 0:32:16Well, we'll cut it off...
0:32:16 > 0:32:20drain it, and wash it out.
0:32:20 > 0:32:22Then close him up.
0:32:22 > 0:32:23So, there's no cancer?
0:32:23 > 0:32:25There's no cancer.
0:32:27 > 0:32:29Stupid, but lucky.
0:32:34 > 0:32:37It must be a very difficult day for you.
0:32:37 > 0:32:38Yes, it is.
0:32:38 > 0:32:42Please don't worry. Ms Effanga is an exceptional surgeon.
0:32:45 > 0:32:51It was nothing personal, Professor, he sets his mind on something.
0:32:51 > 0:32:54Fredrick only has one heart.
0:32:54 > 0:32:57- I'm sure all will be well. - Thank you.
0:32:57 > 0:33:02I know this must be a very difficult time for you too.
0:33:02 > 0:33:04You're so very lucky.
0:33:04 > 0:33:05Pardon me?
0:33:05 > 0:33:08As long as you don't overdo things.
0:33:08 > 0:33:13You'll know better than most - one's health is really all that matters.
0:33:13 > 0:33:14Right.
0:33:14 > 0:33:17So few people have someone caring for them.
0:33:17 > 0:33:21Those who do are extremely fortunate.
0:33:22 > 0:33:26Fredrick is...and so are you.
0:33:48 > 0:33:52Stella? Where are you going?
0:33:52 > 0:33:54Is there a salon on the premises?
0:33:54 > 0:33:59No, this is a general surgical ward, there are no hairdressers.
0:33:59 > 0:34:02I feel better when my hair is good.
0:34:02 > 0:34:05Come on, I'll walk back with you.
0:34:06 > 0:34:09- Your hair's lovely. - Is it?
0:34:15 > 0:34:21I may have led Sacha to believe you're a little bit trollop.
0:34:21 > 0:34:24What? Why?
0:34:24 > 0:34:27We talked about your kissy-kissy friend.
0:34:27 > 0:34:30- "Kissy-kissy friend"? - I saw it.
0:34:30 > 0:34:32I am a friend of his mother's.
0:34:32 > 0:34:35Er, hang on. Who am I supposed to have kissed?
0:34:37 > 0:34:40Oh. This morning. Stella!
0:34:40 > 0:34:43Well, what's the worst thing that can happen?
0:34:43 > 0:34:46Mr Kissy-Kissy gets a little slap.
0:34:46 > 0:34:47You're joking.
0:34:49 > 0:34:51You're not joking.
0:34:58 > 0:35:00Making yourself at home?
0:35:00 > 0:35:03Just waiting for Essie.
0:35:06 > 0:35:09Oh, don't worry about me, by the way.
0:35:09 > 0:35:11I've brought my own.
0:35:11 > 0:35:12Good.
0:35:12 > 0:35:18I'm trying to kick the old caffeine, sticking to herbal infusions.
0:35:18 > 0:35:20Mind you, you know what it's like.
0:35:20 > 0:35:23You make a commitment to peppermint but before long,
0:35:23 > 0:35:25you find yourself wanting to dunk your Digestive
0:35:25 > 0:35:28into a steaming cup of Tetley's.
0:35:28 > 0:35:33So you have no sense of loyalty then or commitment?
0:35:33 > 0:35:35To tea?
0:35:35 > 0:35:37Well, they're not terrifically modern concepts, are they?
0:35:37 > 0:35:40Loyalty? Fidelity?
0:35:40 > 0:35:42I hereby swear allegiance to peppermint,
0:35:42 > 0:35:44foregoing all other teas.
0:35:44 > 0:35:48I renounce you, loose leaf! Be gone, oolong!
0:35:48 > 0:35:51So you think you're being clever?
0:35:51 > 0:35:53Sipping from more than one cup?
0:35:53 > 0:35:55Excuse me?
0:35:55 > 0:35:57I know what your game is.
0:35:57 > 0:35:58What game?
0:35:58 > 0:36:02- You're seeing two women, aren't you? - I'm not seeing any women.
0:36:02 > 0:36:03What about the kinky corset?
0:36:03 > 0:36:08Sacha! What's going on?
0:36:09 > 0:36:12Ask him about Nicky.
0:36:12 > 0:36:14- You told him about Nicky? - No.
0:36:14 > 0:36:17Why would I? That's your business.
0:36:17 > 0:36:18Well, she didn't have to tell me about Nicky
0:36:18 > 0:36:22- because I found out about Nicky. - Oh, Sacha, stop it.
0:36:22 > 0:36:24I don't know what I've done wrong!
0:36:25 > 0:36:27I'm watching you.
0:36:31 > 0:36:33What was all that about?
0:36:33 > 0:36:34Stella.
0:36:34 > 0:36:38He's in the thrall of some batty old lady named Stella.
0:36:38 > 0:36:40Stellaaaaaaa!
0:36:41 > 0:36:44- Are you all right? - Yeah.
0:36:49 > 0:36:53Left-sided thoracotomy, sixth intercostal space.
0:36:53 > 0:36:55Here we go.
0:36:57 > 0:36:59How are you doing?
0:36:59 > 0:37:01Tricky, but we're getting there.
0:37:01 > 0:37:03It's a good job I'm not too tired and stressed to step in
0:37:03 > 0:37:06if you were to need me.
0:37:10 > 0:37:13Why did you tell them about my neurosurgery?
0:37:13 > 0:37:14I didn't.
0:37:14 > 0:37:17Then how is it that my personal circumstances are the talk
0:37:17 > 0:37:18of the patients?
0:37:18 > 0:37:20I don't know.
0:37:20 > 0:37:22You should have been upfront with me, Mo.
0:37:22 > 0:37:25- If you wanted to take the lead... - I didn't ask for it.
0:37:25 > 0:37:28I didn't want you to find out that they thought you weren't ready.
0:37:28 > 0:37:33How can I counter concerns about my fitness if I don't know about them?
0:37:33 > 0:37:35You should have told me.
0:37:38 > 0:37:40Elliot, this is a mess.
0:37:40 > 0:37:43The tissue from the lung has become attached to the infection site.
0:37:43 > 0:37:45You know what you're doing.
0:37:45 > 0:37:47Suction, please.
0:37:49 > 0:37:52It would be much easier to stay annoyed with you
0:37:52 > 0:37:54if you didn't make me so proud.
0:38:06 > 0:38:10They're nearly finished. Everything's going really well.
0:38:10 > 0:38:12Oh, thank you. Thank you.
0:38:12 > 0:38:14No problem.
0:38:14 > 0:38:16Fredrick was my boss.
0:38:16 > 0:38:19There was never anything, you know, like that.
0:38:19 > 0:38:22I've looked after him for almost 30 years.
0:38:22 > 0:38:26Wow. Well, everything's fine, so you can look after him some more.
0:38:26 > 0:38:30I do wish we hadn't jumped the gun with your professor.
0:38:30 > 0:38:33Do you think he was very offended?
0:38:33 > 0:38:36He's got broad shoulders. He'll be over it.
0:38:36 > 0:38:39- He was never going to take any risks, was he?- No.
0:38:39 > 0:38:40He would never go into theatre
0:38:40 > 0:38:43unless he was absolutely sure that he was fine.
0:38:43 > 0:38:45Fredrick and I were just anxious.
0:38:45 > 0:38:47He's such a kind man.
0:38:47 > 0:38:49Can I get you anything? Cup of tea?
0:38:49 > 0:38:51Me? No, dear. I'm fine.
0:38:51 > 0:38:54- Are you sure? It's no trouble. - I'll just wait for Fredrick.
0:38:54 > 0:38:56I'll get you a cup anyway, you don't have to drink it.
0:38:56 > 0:39:02Will you tell Professor Hope that I'm truly sorry?
0:39:03 > 0:39:07No, because listen, when he comes to see you,
0:39:07 > 0:39:10it'll be to tell you that Fredrick's fine and on his way back.
0:39:10 > 0:39:14- It won't be to hear you say that you're sorry.- I am, though.
0:39:14 > 0:39:16OK, well, you can tell him yourself.
0:39:16 > 0:39:18Everything's fine, OK?
0:39:18 > 0:39:20As long as you're sure.
0:39:32 > 0:39:33SHE SIGHS
0:39:43 > 0:39:46- Mo. - Professor.
0:39:46 > 0:39:48I honestly didn't mean to be sneaky
0:39:48 > 0:39:52and I really didn't say anything to them about your op.
0:39:52 > 0:39:54I think I know who did, mind.
0:39:54 > 0:39:57As you will be sending a healthy-hearted ex-boss
0:39:57 > 0:40:02back to the devoted Joan, I suggest we agree to forget it.
0:40:02 > 0:40:04Yeah, I'm up for that.
0:40:06 > 0:40:08I realise I failed to think about your feelings.
0:40:08 > 0:40:12- You never have to worry about me. - Oh, I do. Well, you know, sometimes.
0:40:14 > 0:40:18I know I am only just back but I am back.
0:40:18 > 0:40:20I refuse to let this tumour define me.
0:40:20 > 0:40:21I really am sorry.
0:40:21 > 0:40:25I don't want anyone thinking that I'm past it.
0:40:25 > 0:40:28I'm going to have to prove that, prove it rather big time.
0:40:28 > 0:40:31- Elliot to the max? - To the max.
0:40:31 > 0:40:35Which means expanding the Assisted Devices department
0:40:35 > 0:40:39and pushing forward to new challenges, if you're interested?
0:40:39 > 0:40:41I'm so glad you're back.
0:40:41 > 0:40:43You are the bomb.
0:40:45 > 0:40:49The contract has been drawn up. All it needs now is your signature.
0:40:49 > 0:40:52If you're serious about heading the department,
0:40:52 > 0:40:54get over here by seven and sign it.
0:40:54 > 0:40:59No games. This is a one-off, now-or-never deal.
0:40:59 > 0:41:02I suggest you allow for traffic.
0:41:09 > 0:41:11I took your advice.
0:41:11 > 0:41:13Oh, good. How did she take it?
0:41:13 > 0:41:15She?
0:41:15 > 0:41:19Essie. Yeah, you told her about Mr Thompson's other dalliance?
0:41:19 > 0:41:21No. I told Derwood Thompson to watch his step.
0:41:21 > 0:41:25I gave it to him straight. That's what you meant, wasn't it?
0:41:25 > 0:41:28Yes. Sort of.
0:41:28 > 0:41:32I don't know, Essie seemed to know what he was up to already so...
0:41:32 > 0:41:35Right. But, if she knew what he was up to then doesn't that mean
0:41:35 > 0:41:37she wasn't being two-timed?
0:41:37 > 0:41:40Technically? You know, in a manner of speaking?
0:41:41 > 0:41:43I'll just...
0:41:43 > 0:41:46I'll see you in theatre, I think.
0:41:59 > 0:42:01Hey.
0:42:01 > 0:42:02Hi.
0:42:02 > 0:42:04Listen, you might feel grim for a bit
0:42:04 > 0:42:07but you're going to live to ride again.
0:42:09 > 0:42:11Your throat a bit sore?
0:42:12 > 0:42:14It's not too bad actually, thanks.
0:42:16 > 0:42:22Thanks for everything you keep doing for me but you need to listen.
0:42:22 > 0:42:24HE GROANS IN PAIN
0:42:26 > 0:42:28This needs to stop.
0:42:29 > 0:42:31I'm not having chemo.
0:42:31 > 0:42:33Do you want to tell him?
0:42:33 > 0:42:35You had a cyst on your liver.
0:42:35 > 0:42:37And the cyst ruptured.
0:42:37 > 0:42:40- What? - They cleared out all the mess.
0:42:40 > 0:42:42So all you've got to do is rest and recuperate.
0:42:42 > 0:42:45And what's not to love about a little bit of R'n'R?
0:42:45 > 0:42:47- Not cancer? - No.
0:42:47 > 0:42:50And you would have known that if you'd been to see a doctor.
0:42:50 > 0:42:51I knew what they were going to say.
0:42:51 > 0:42:53Well, obviously, you didn't.
0:42:56 > 0:42:59What were you thinking? Were you just waiting to die?
0:43:01 > 0:43:04When my dad died, I just sold up. I just went, I just vanished.
0:43:04 > 0:43:09I have been on a monumental bender for years.
0:43:09 > 0:43:12I bought the bike with the last of my... I mean I'm out of dosh.
0:43:13 > 0:43:16I could only afford to third-party insure it.
0:43:16 > 0:43:18So, you did a runner?
0:43:18 > 0:43:21I just had to get away. I couldn't face anyone, anything.
0:43:23 > 0:43:26My sisters are going to kill me.
0:43:29 > 0:43:31Don't tell me you never tried to take an easy way out.
0:43:31 > 0:43:33Oh, no. Believe me, I have.
0:43:33 > 0:43:35Well, what I thought was easy anyway.
0:43:35 > 0:43:38So, I'm not going to die?
0:43:38 > 0:43:39Nope.
0:43:39 > 0:43:41Do I not have the big C?
0:43:44 > 0:43:48Nurse. Do me a favour.
0:43:49 > 0:43:51Go and get some of that perfume on and then come back
0:43:51 > 0:43:53and fluff my pillows up, will you?
0:43:53 > 0:43:54Behave.
0:43:55 > 0:43:57It's better to be broke than dead.
0:43:57 > 0:44:00CHUCKLING TURNS TO GROANING
0:44:00 > 0:44:02I shouldn't laugh, I've got stitches.
0:44:02 > 0:44:03I'm a sick man.
0:44:05 > 0:44:06Nicely done.
0:44:06 > 0:44:10Now we've done the ligation, we can concentrate on the smaller veins.
0:44:10 > 0:44:12OK. Making a stab incision.
0:44:12 > 0:44:14Keep the cut vertical to avoid hitting a vein.
0:44:14 > 0:44:17So, Stella's a friend of Ma Levy's?
0:44:17 > 0:44:19Yes, yes.
0:44:19 > 0:44:22There are various strange women who maintain an orbit around my mother.
0:44:22 > 0:44:25Seemingly it gives them carte blanche to comment on me,
0:44:25 > 0:44:29my life and, if I'm very lucky, my relationships.
0:44:29 > 0:44:31Right, well, there are a lot more avulsions
0:44:31 > 0:44:33than I thought there'd be.
0:44:33 > 0:44:35She's going to have lots of tiny scars on her legs,
0:44:35 > 0:44:37but I'm afraid this was the best option.
0:44:37 > 0:44:39I think we're going to have our work cut out to convince her
0:44:39 > 0:44:41all this tissue damage will fade as well.
0:44:41 > 0:44:42Oh, I don't know, is it worth it?
0:44:42 > 0:44:44Well, I don't mind talking her through it,
0:44:44 > 0:44:47there is an online time-lapse video I can show her.
0:44:47 > 0:44:49No, I meant is it worth the agitation?
0:44:49 > 0:44:51Clips, please. Thank you.
0:44:51 > 0:44:53I don't mind if you express an opinion.
0:44:53 > 0:44:55In fact, I'm asking for your opinion.
0:44:55 > 0:44:58Can I ever have a relationship with Essie?
0:44:58 > 0:45:00I can't. Can I?
0:45:00 > 0:45:01What was I thinking?
0:45:01 > 0:45:06I imagine you were thinking how much you liked her
0:45:06 > 0:45:10and she was thinking how much she liked you.
0:45:10 > 0:45:12If it was only that simple.
0:45:12 > 0:45:15This certainly isn't going to be as neat as I'd hoped.
0:45:15 > 0:45:17But we're not going to give up, are we?
0:45:17 > 0:45:21Dr Digby, are you drawing an analogy between my romantic life
0:45:21 > 0:45:23and varicose vein surgery?
0:45:27 > 0:45:31I generally try and give people the benefit of the doubt
0:45:31 > 0:45:35and sometimes that leads to them getting the credit they deserve.
0:45:35 > 0:45:40In the end, I have to say I'm impressed.
0:45:40 > 0:45:41I just hope I did my job.
0:45:41 > 0:45:44You handled that Sengstaken like it was second nature.
0:45:44 > 0:45:47Mr Stupid owes you his life.
0:45:47 > 0:45:48I had done it before.
0:45:48 > 0:45:53Don't sell yourself short. As I say, I'm impressed.
0:45:53 > 0:45:56Thanks a lot, Mr Griffin, it means a lot.
0:45:56 > 0:45:59Now, all you have to do is keep it up.
0:46:01 > 0:46:04So, do AAU nurses hit Albie's after work for a swifty or what?
0:46:04 > 0:46:06Yeah, I'll buy you a large one
0:46:06 > 0:46:08on the back of your Sengstaken performance if nothing else.
0:46:08 > 0:46:11It's the talk of the ward, everyone's well impressed.
0:46:11 > 0:46:13Really? Great. Well, Albie's later then.
0:46:13 > 0:46:15Excellent.
0:46:15 > 0:46:16Stella, when the bandages come off,
0:46:16 > 0:46:19there is going to be a substantial amount of bruising.
0:46:19 > 0:46:21But that will fade.
0:46:21 > 0:46:24Yes, but there'll also be quite a lot of scarring.
0:46:24 > 0:46:26But no more than Vera.
0:46:26 > 0:46:29Well, there are a lot more than we initially envisaged
0:46:29 > 0:46:32and it will be quite visible to begin with.
0:46:34 > 0:46:36I will have legs like Russian sausages.
0:46:36 > 0:46:39Xavier won't want a piece of that?
0:46:39 > 0:46:42I know what Xavier wants.
0:46:42 > 0:46:43It won't be me.
0:46:45 > 0:46:48I feel like my heart will break.
0:46:50 > 0:46:52I just wanted to dance with him.
0:46:52 > 0:46:56Mr Levy, can we talk?
0:46:56 > 0:46:58Excuse us.
0:46:58 > 0:47:00Go, go. I'm better by myself.
0:47:02 > 0:47:03Not you.
0:47:06 > 0:47:09We do need to talk because there's something I want to say.
0:47:09 > 0:47:10Is there?
0:47:12 > 0:47:13I'm so sorry.
0:47:13 > 0:47:15What for?
0:47:15 > 0:47:18For the way I behaved.
0:47:18 > 0:47:21For you know, the tea and Mr Thompson
0:47:21 > 0:47:24and all that Nicky nonsense.
0:47:24 > 0:47:26I'm so ashamed.
0:47:26 > 0:47:28(And I'm really sorry.)
0:47:28 > 0:47:30Good.
0:47:30 > 0:47:32I accept your apology.
0:47:33 > 0:47:34HE SIGHS
0:47:41 > 0:47:45I was...jealous.
0:47:45 > 0:47:46What for?
0:47:46 > 0:47:52Well, you hug him, you know, and I'd seen your corset.
0:47:53 > 0:47:58You saw Derwood's corset in my bag this morning.
0:47:58 > 0:48:00Hang on, hang on.
0:48:00 > 0:48:02It's Mr Thompson's corset?
0:48:02 > 0:48:03Yes.
0:48:03 > 0:48:07Derwood and I are going to a sing-a-long
0:48:07 > 0:48:09Rocky Horror Picture Show tonight
0:48:09 > 0:48:12and he is playing Frank N Furter.
0:48:14 > 0:48:15Well, that's amazing.
0:48:17 > 0:48:19And he was dating Nicky.
0:48:19 > 0:48:21He thought things were going really well
0:48:21 > 0:48:23- and then she broke up with him. - Oh, so there was a Nicky.
0:48:23 > 0:48:26Oh, well done, you got one thing right.
0:48:28 > 0:48:29I'm so sorry.
0:48:30 > 0:48:32- Poor Mr T. - Yeah.
0:48:32 > 0:48:37He's miserable. I'm his friend so I'm just trying to cheer him up.
0:48:39 > 0:48:41Oh, my...
0:48:42 > 0:48:44That woman gets everything wrong.
0:48:44 > 0:48:46I bet you a pound that that's...
0:48:48 > 0:48:51Stella, who's that?
0:48:53 > 0:48:56It's Xavier. Why is he here?
0:48:56 > 0:48:58For you, I should imagine.
0:48:58 > 0:49:00There, you see? What did I tell you?
0:49:00 > 0:49:05And I thought you were a little bit stupid...but you're not.
0:49:06 > 0:49:09Maybe you should think about this one?
0:49:10 > 0:49:14As it happens, despite your meddling,
0:49:14 > 0:49:15I am going out with your consultant.
0:49:15 > 0:49:19Acting consultant actually but very good.
0:49:21 > 0:49:23Sorry, do you mind?
0:49:23 > 0:49:26- Look, you don't have to go. - No, it's OK.
0:49:26 > 0:49:29Thanks for that. Don't start, will you?
0:49:29 > 0:49:31I won't, I promise.
0:49:35 > 0:49:40If you get yourself a vodka, you can have one of these.
0:49:40 > 0:49:43- Viper Spit?- It energises you. It's my gift to AAU.
0:49:43 > 0:49:45Well, one of many.
0:49:45 > 0:49:47Do they know that you smuggle in your own mixers?
0:49:47 > 0:49:49I thought you weren't starting.
0:49:52 > 0:49:55That tastes like something Stoner would drink.
0:49:57 > 0:50:00- To Stoner. - To Stoner.
0:50:01 > 0:50:03For the record, Collywobble,
0:50:03 > 0:50:05I was in this hospital way before you were.
0:50:05 > 0:50:08I know you were and don't call me that.
0:50:08 > 0:50:10So, don't ruin it for me, all right?
0:50:10 > 0:50:12Please, I need this.
0:50:12 > 0:50:15And anyway, I'll be good on AAU, you know I will.
0:50:15 > 0:50:18Di Lucca's impressed. Ric Griffin's impressed.
0:50:18 > 0:50:19Not to mention Stoner.
0:50:19 > 0:50:21What about you?
0:50:25 > 0:50:29Well, the word on the ward is that you're pretty smokin' too so...
0:50:29 > 0:50:31we could make a good team.
0:50:40 > 0:50:42I'm sorry, I should've talked to you.
0:50:42 > 0:50:44You think?
0:50:45 > 0:50:49I had the dress on, Fletch. My hair all done.
0:50:49 > 0:50:52Something borrowed, something blue. The whole works.
0:50:52 > 0:50:55I would've liked to have seen that.
0:50:57 > 0:50:59But when I looked in the mirror, I couldn't see me.
0:50:59 > 0:51:01So you did a runner.
0:51:01 > 0:51:03How brave.
0:51:03 > 0:51:05So who'd you run to?
0:51:05 > 0:51:06Nobody.
0:51:07 > 0:51:09I just knew it was wrong to get married.
0:51:09 > 0:51:11If I'd married you, you'd have hated me.
0:51:11 > 0:51:13Well, I ain't that fond of you now.
0:51:13 > 0:51:14I know.
0:51:16 > 0:51:18But you don't hate me any more, do you?
0:51:27 > 0:51:30Only enough to make you drink Viper Spit.
0:51:32 > 0:51:35Can I get a double vodka, please?
0:51:38 > 0:51:39Joan?
0:51:41 > 0:51:44Sorry, I just need to...
0:51:46 > 0:51:48Joan?
0:52:19 > 0:52:21- You'll never guess. - Probably not.
0:52:23 > 0:52:26Essie and I are going on another date.
0:52:26 > 0:52:28Well, there's no fixed plans yet but...
0:52:28 > 0:52:30- Yeah, but she's... - No, no, no.
0:52:30 > 0:52:32No, no, Mr T is not two-timing anybody.
0:52:32 > 0:52:35In fact, Mr T is well and truly single.
0:52:35 > 0:52:37- Really? - I know.
0:52:37 > 0:52:40But he has a corset and he dresses up as Frank N Furter
0:52:40 > 0:52:42and goes to Rocky Horror sing-songs.
0:52:42 > 0:52:44- He dresses up as Frank N Furter? - I know!
0:52:44 > 0:52:47Man, I've always wanted to do that.
0:52:47 > 0:52:49It's been such a strange day.
0:52:49 > 0:52:50Right, well, my news is that
0:52:50 > 0:52:53Elliot is restarting the Assisted Devices programme.
0:52:53 > 0:52:55Oh, that's brilliant. With you as his right-hand woman?
0:52:55 > 0:52:58- Going to try to be. - That's great.
0:52:58 > 0:53:01So, Mr T?
0:53:01 > 0:53:02Is he really not seeing anyone?
0:53:02 > 0:53:06Nobody. No, he has no romantic involvement whatsoever.
0:53:08 > 0:53:10I wonder when he's going to be ready to do the time warp again.
0:53:10 > 0:53:13# Just a jump to the left. #
0:53:31 > 0:53:33Where is she now?
0:53:33 > 0:53:35She's here, in the mortuary.
0:53:37 > 0:53:40Are you going to find out why she died?
0:53:40 > 0:53:45There'll be a postmortem. It's routine for an unexpected death.
0:53:45 > 0:53:47We need to identify the cause.
0:53:49 > 0:53:51You're looking at him.
0:53:53 > 0:53:55All the fuss...
0:53:55 > 0:53:57about you, about everything.
0:53:58 > 0:54:01I was always making such a fuss.
0:54:05 > 0:54:08Do you think she was frightened?
0:54:09 > 0:54:12Do you think she was in any pain?
0:54:12 > 0:54:15She looked peaceful.
0:54:15 > 0:54:17I thought she'd fallen asleep.
0:54:20 > 0:54:23I would have done anything for her.
0:54:23 > 0:54:26She'd only have had to ask.
0:54:26 > 0:54:28I think she knew that.
0:54:31 > 0:54:33I loved Joan.
0:54:33 > 0:54:36I expect she knew that too.
0:54:36 > 0:54:38What's the point of me being alive...
0:54:40 > 0:54:42..now she's dead?
0:54:44 > 0:54:45KNOCK ON DOOR
0:54:50 > 0:54:53I said by seven. You're one minute late.
0:54:53 > 0:54:55Your watch is wrong.
0:55:16 > 0:55:18- So, what have we learned today? - Say what?
0:55:18 > 0:55:20Say, oh, I don't know,
0:55:20 > 0:55:22I will keep my big mouth shut in front of patients?
0:55:22 > 0:55:26For the record, I'm rather fond of your big mouth, Adele.
0:55:26 > 0:55:30But not when it gets in the way of patient care.
0:55:30 > 0:55:32- Sorry, Professor. - No matter.
0:55:32 > 0:55:36It's all been somewhat overshadowed by Joan's death, hasn't it?
0:55:36 > 0:55:38Yeah, I know. Who'd have thought? Just like that?
0:55:38 > 0:55:40Well, if your number's up, your number's up.
0:55:40 > 0:55:42People can and do die suddenly.
0:55:42 > 0:55:44Yeah, but in hospital with all of us here.
0:55:44 > 0:55:47And she wasn't even the one that came in sick.
0:55:47 > 0:55:50Even this dream team can't perform miracles.
0:55:50 > 0:55:52Did you eat all the grapes?
0:55:52 > 0:55:54No, I did not.
0:55:54 > 0:55:55Anyway, I'm so glad to be back
0:55:55 > 0:56:00and so, so pleased to have my dream team all around me.
0:56:00 > 0:56:02Good, carry on.
0:56:10 > 0:56:12I'm assembling the new dream team.
0:56:13 > 0:56:15You've told Elliot?
0:56:18 > 0:56:20You haven't.
0:56:20 > 0:56:22Second thoughts?
0:56:26 > 0:56:27None.
