0:00:38 > 0:00:42Having this baby, if she survives, will change your whole life.

0:00:42 > 0:00:44I didn't do it. I'm still pregnant.

0:00:44 > 0:00:47I want this baby. I have always wanted this baby.

0:00:47 > 0:00:51The name's Guy Self. As of next week, I'm your new CEO.

0:00:51 > 0:00:52He's signed and sealed?

0:00:52 > 0:00:54So a Harvard MBA counts for nothing.

0:00:54 > 0:00:56Darling, I'm so sorry.

0:00:56 > 0:00:59No, last thing I need is pity. I had presumed this kind of procedure

0:00:59 > 0:01:01- would be second nature to you. - Yes, it is.

0:01:01 > 0:01:03Complicated by the fact that I haven't

0:01:03 > 0:01:05lifted a scalpel for eight months.

0:01:05 > 0:01:08Still, they tell me it's like riding a bike.

0:01:14 > 0:01:16What?

0:01:16 > 0:01:17Come here.

0:01:19 > 0:01:21ELECTRONIC VOICE: Sixth floor.

0:01:21 > 0:01:23Doors opening.

0:01:23 > 0:01:26Lift going down.

0:01:26 > 0:01:27Morning.

0:01:29 > 0:01:31So, you're up for round five then?

0:01:31 > 0:01:33Easy tiger. I've not been back to my flat for five days!

0:01:33 > 0:01:34I need some fresh clobber.

0:01:34 > 0:01:37I could always rent you a drawer, I suppose...

0:01:37 > 0:01:38Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!

0:01:38 > 0:01:40What's your second name again?

0:01:40 > 0:01:43Strange bird that I date...

0:01:45 > 0:01:47PAGER BEEPS

0:01:47 > 0:01:49Sorry.

0:01:50 > 0:01:51Ah...

0:01:52 > 0:01:54Mr Thompson wants to see us.

0:01:54 > 0:01:57- Us?- Me and Jac.

0:01:57 > 0:01:59You'd better go then.

0:01:59 > 0:02:00Sorry.

0:02:15 > 0:02:18Oi, any chance of a wheelchair over here?

0:02:23 > 0:02:25No set of wheels, I'll walk in.

0:02:25 > 0:02:28- Sam... - I'll walk in...

0:02:28 > 0:02:29and I'll run out!

0:02:36 > 0:02:40Get me someone out from ED now!

0:02:40 > 0:02:42I need some oxygen and some Lorazepam.

0:02:42 > 0:02:44Sam! I told him not to do too much, didn't I?

0:02:44 > 0:02:46What have I been saying for weeks now? Sam!

0:02:46 > 0:02:48Come on, Angie. Let's not get all Meryl Streep.

0:02:48 > 0:02:52- He needs some space, come on, love. - Right, let's get him over.

0:02:52 > 0:02:54Give him four milligrams.

0:02:54 > 0:02:55My call?

0:02:55 > 0:02:58If you prefer, doctor. But just do it, please.

0:02:58 > 0:02:59Do you want him intubated?

0:02:59 > 0:03:01No, he'll be fine in 30.

0:03:01 > 0:03:03It's all right, it's all right.

0:03:05 > 0:03:06Sorry, I didn't catch your names?

0:03:06 > 0:03:08I'm Gemma, this is Harry, we're on AAU.

0:03:08 > 0:03:11Aggro and Abuse Unlimited? Good luck with that!

0:03:11 > 0:03:14And you are? You can't just swing in here like you own the place.

0:03:16 > 0:03:19You just look pretty and let me do the thinking, all right, Hazzer?

0:03:19 > 0:03:22Now can you tell me where I can find Guy Self?

0:03:22 > 0:03:24So, given your most recent scan,

0:03:24 > 0:03:27and after talking things through with your medical team,

0:03:27 > 0:03:30we feel that 38 weeks would be the optimal time

0:03:30 > 0:03:32for the birth of your baby...

0:03:32 > 0:03:34or the fourth of February, to be exact.

0:03:36 > 0:03:39Um...I'll give you a bit of time to talk things through.

0:03:39 > 0:03:43Just so you know, we do have a bit of wiggle room on the dates, so...

0:03:43 > 0:03:45Fourth of February will be fine.

0:03:45 > 0:03:48OK then, well, I shall go and make the necessary arrangements.

0:04:05 > 0:04:0715 minutes obs, please. Thank you.

0:04:10 > 0:04:13I'm going to spoil that kid rotten when she gets through this.

0:04:13 > 0:04:15That'll really help with her upbringing.

0:04:15 > 0:04:17Puppies, ponies, Disney...

0:04:17 > 0:04:19On your salary?

0:04:19 > 0:04:21I mean, we know when her birthday is so just think about it.

0:04:21 > 0:04:24Every year, like a massive cake, ice cream, jelly,

0:04:24 > 0:04:27more presents than she can open, like...

0:04:27 > 0:04:29That's if she makes it to her first one.

0:04:33 > 0:04:34Ah, Gemma, Harry.

0:04:34 > 0:04:37Mr Self, someone was looking for you actually.

0:04:37 > 0:04:39I directed them to your office.

0:04:39 > 0:04:41Hope it's not the bailiffs!

0:04:42 > 0:04:44See you later.

0:04:45 > 0:04:47You're such a brown noser!

0:04:47 > 0:04:48Call it career development.

0:04:50 > 0:04:52Morning.

0:04:52 > 0:04:53Morning.

0:04:53 > 0:04:55Nice tux.

0:04:55 > 0:04:57The theatre.

0:05:01 > 0:05:02So, what do you make of him?

0:05:02 > 0:05:05Well, I think it's more a case of what he makes of US that matters.

0:05:05 > 0:05:08He's already asked for a meeting to discuss the department.

0:05:09 > 0:05:11Meaning?

0:05:11 > 0:05:13Meaning that despite that dazzling smile,

0:05:13 > 0:05:16we should expect to be kept on our toes.

0:05:16 > 0:05:17Two coffees, please.

0:05:22 > 0:05:26JAZZY LOUNGE MUSIC PLAYS

0:06:03 > 0:06:04Argh...

0:06:06 > 0:06:07Oh, God.

0:06:15 > 0:06:16Thank you.

0:06:29 > 0:06:30What is up with you today?

0:06:31 > 0:06:35Does it not bother you that the object of your affection

0:06:35 > 0:06:38- is having a baby with a senior colleague?- No.

0:06:39 > 0:06:43Is that because you feel empowered by Jonny's choice to be with you?

0:06:43 > 0:06:46Jonny and I are just a casual thing.

0:06:46 > 0:06:49But your body language suggests you want so much more than that.

0:06:49 > 0:06:52Can we stop with the therapy session and crack on, please?

0:06:58 > 0:07:02Cancer scare, approaching retirement.

0:07:02 > 0:07:04You're not tempted by the golf course?

0:07:04 > 0:07:06My handicap's rubbish.

0:07:07 > 0:07:09Are you happy with your people on AAU?

0:07:09 > 0:07:14We have a nice balance - age and treachery

0:07:14 > 0:07:16versus youth and enthusiasm.

0:07:16 > 0:07:19I'm looking to build a strong team around you, Ric.

0:07:19 > 0:07:21You'll have some say as to who those people will be,

0:07:21 > 0:07:23but I'll be making the final appointments.

0:07:23 > 0:07:26So there will be some changes then?

0:07:26 > 0:07:30Well, I need to know the future of AAU is secure

0:07:30 > 0:07:33and that might mean some tough calls on my part.

0:07:36 > 0:07:38I hope you understand?

0:07:50 > 0:07:52MACHINE BEEPS

0:07:59 > 0:08:02Hey, you know we're all here for you, yeah? Whatever you need.

0:08:02 > 0:08:04I'm fine.

0:08:04 > 0:08:07We had some pretty tough news today.

0:08:07 > 0:08:10We always knew it was coming, but now it's here, so...

0:08:11 > 0:08:13Do me a favour.

0:08:13 > 0:08:17- Can you just keep an eye out for her today?- Yeah, sure.

0:08:20 > 0:08:22You'll be glad to know we'll be working together today.

0:08:22 > 0:08:25Here, let me help you with those. I just wanted to say...

0:08:27 > 0:08:30I don't know what your problem with me is, but...

0:08:30 > 0:08:32You're sleeping with Jonny? The father of my child?

0:08:32 > 0:08:34- And you think it bothers me? - It seems to bother him...

0:08:34 > 0:08:37I've been there, got the T-shirt, I won't be going back

0:08:37 > 0:08:38so you can just rest easy.

0:08:46 > 0:08:48- Are you a consultant?- Yes.

0:08:48 > 0:08:50Look, Gary, doctor's pregnant, just like us!

0:08:51 > 0:08:53Can I have a word?

0:08:55 > 0:08:56What, are you stupid?

0:08:58 > 0:09:00I...I'm sorry.

0:09:00 > 0:09:01Zosia handled the transfer from ED.

0:09:01 > 0:09:03- Right, you're working with Mo today.- But...

0:09:03 > 0:09:05Just do it, Bonnie, will you?!

0:09:07 > 0:09:11Hello, I'm Jonny. I'll be your trolley dolly for the day.

0:09:11 > 0:09:13So, anything you need, then I'm your man.

0:09:13 > 0:09:15You fainted at home, Lara?

0:09:15 > 0:09:16Yeah.

0:09:16 > 0:09:19She's tachycardic. ECG and echocardiogram when you're ready.

0:09:34 > 0:09:37So this is where you've been hiding?

0:09:37 > 0:09:39Would've been easier to track down Bin Laden.

0:09:41 > 0:09:42Nice to see you too, Colette...

0:09:46 > 0:09:47You're an idiot, Guy.

0:09:50 > 0:09:53Return of the rottweiler.

0:09:53 > 0:09:55I wondered when you'd bare your teeth.

0:09:55 > 0:09:57Is this your first?

0:09:58 > 0:10:01You should have seen Gary's face when I showed him the pregnancy test!

0:10:01 > 0:10:05Never thought it would finally happen for us. You got kids?

0:10:05 > 0:10:07One on the way actually.

0:10:07 > 0:10:11Another proud parent to be! Must be catching in this place!

0:10:11 > 0:10:12Oh, Gary, have you rung the B&B?

0:10:12 > 0:10:15I think that's the least of our worries now.

0:10:15 > 0:10:16The curse strikes again.

0:10:19 > 0:10:21You off anywhere nice?

0:10:21 > 0:10:25South Wales... It's where we think, you know...

0:10:25 > 0:10:27Can't call her Tenby though, can we?

0:10:29 > 0:10:33Bonnie? Where's the fluid balance chart?

0:10:33 > 0:10:36Sorry, I've been rushed off my feet. I'll get one started now.

0:10:36 > 0:10:37No, you forgot, didn't you?

0:10:37 > 0:10:40- Do you know how important it is in a case like this...?- I didn't forget!

0:10:40 > 0:10:42OK, she made a mistake, let's just get it sorted.

0:10:42 > 0:10:43I didn't make a mistake!

0:10:47 > 0:10:50Little bit feistier than usual today, Miss Naylor?

0:10:50 > 0:10:52Apart from the obvious, our new CEO has demanded a meeting.

0:10:52 > 0:10:55He wants reports on all the oesophagectomy patients

0:10:55 > 0:10:58that I've treated using the new Japanese technique.

0:10:58 > 0:10:59Can you not put him off?

0:10:59 > 0:11:01Not if I want a job to come back to after my maternity leave.

0:11:01 > 0:11:04OK, OK, go to your office, get them done.

0:11:04 > 0:11:05I'll keep an eye out here,

0:11:05 > 0:11:07and I'll let you know when the results come in.

0:11:07 > 0:11:10Come on, Jac, she's a wee bit tachycardic, right?

0:11:10 > 0:11:12Not exactly taxing for you,

0:11:12 > 0:11:16so let me do your legwork and you can finish the reports.

0:11:20 > 0:11:23- You'll let me know if there's any change in her condition?- Of course.

0:11:31 > 0:11:34The tumour's back. Benson's told his mother to prepare for the worst.

0:11:34 > 0:11:35Colette...

0:11:35 > 0:11:38He said the same when Sam Cummings first came to Northchurch.

0:11:38 > 0:11:40But you operated successfully regardless.

0:11:40 > 0:11:41I'm CEO here now.

0:11:41 > 0:11:44We went to Sam's 16th birthday party, do you remember?

0:11:44 > 0:11:46Angie wouldn't take no for an answer.

0:11:46 > 0:11:48You remember his mum? I think she fancied you.

0:11:48 > 0:11:50Yeah, I really don't think it's appropriate...

0:11:50 > 0:11:54Come on, you know I've dealt with every outpatient appointment he's ever had.

0:11:54 > 0:11:55I've watched him grow.

0:11:55 > 0:11:58You did too until you vanished off the planet.

0:11:58 > 0:12:01Look, what have I told you about getting emotionally involved?

0:12:01 > 0:12:04Sue me. The kid begged me to find you.

0:12:04 > 0:12:07As far as he's concerned, you fly round in a cape...

0:12:07 > 0:12:08Mr Self.

0:12:08 > 0:12:10I've got a fairly hostile Mr Benson,

0:12:10 > 0:12:13Head of Neurosurgery, from Northchurch here.

0:12:13 > 0:12:15Says you have "abducted" one of his patients?

0:12:15 > 0:12:17It's been referred, all kosher.

0:12:17 > 0:12:19He can't possibly be admitted here

0:12:19 > 0:12:20if this is another consultant's case.

0:12:22 > 0:12:25What was that fool Benson doing Head of Neurosurgery?

0:12:25 > 0:12:27Er, you left.

0:12:27 > 0:12:31Sorry, you do realise how many protocols this would break?

0:12:31 > 0:12:35Yes, Serena, I'll deal with this, it's really not your problem.

0:12:35 > 0:12:38OK. Oh, and there's a situation developing on AAU.

0:12:38 > 0:12:42A patient's threatening to sue Sacha Levy.

0:12:42 > 0:12:43I'm happy to handle it if you are.

0:12:43 > 0:12:46Oh, yes, yes, it'll be good to see you earn your corn.

0:12:49 > 0:12:52Blimey, who's the face like the smell of gas?

0:12:52 > 0:12:56Serena Campbell, she's been keeping my office chair warm recently.

0:12:56 > 0:12:57Ah, rug been pulled?

0:12:57 > 0:13:00Yes, she's right though, all I can really do

0:13:00 > 0:13:03is ask Holby Neurology for a second opinion.

0:13:04 > 0:13:07Didn't you always say rules were there to be broken?

0:13:10 > 0:13:11Sam...

0:13:11 > 0:13:13- Angie.- Judas.- Sam!

0:13:15 > 0:13:18How about... How about dinner at Pushka's?

0:13:18 > 0:13:21You'll never be able to do up the buttons on your fancy shirts

0:13:21 > 0:13:22- with one arm.- Sorry?

0:13:22 > 0:13:26Don't you think this lot have got enough to gossip about?

0:13:26 > 0:13:29Ah, commiserations on the demotion.

0:13:29 > 0:13:31But hey, it happens to all of us.

0:13:31 > 0:13:35I was only ever acting CEO so I'd hardly call it a demotion.

0:13:35 > 0:13:37Where's your complainer hiding?

0:13:37 > 0:13:38Mark Edwards.

0:13:38 > 0:13:41Dislocated his shoulder after he collapsed at the airport.

0:13:41 > 0:13:45He took full advantage of the free in-flight beverages.

0:13:45 > 0:13:50Sacha had to cut his jacket, so tread carefully, he's a tad testy.

0:13:53 > 0:13:56- I feel sorry for the bloke. - MAN: Are you calling me a liar?

0:13:56 > 0:13:58- NURSE:- I'm not calling you a liar!

0:13:58 > 0:14:01That's a 900 quid suit in anyone's money!

0:14:01 > 0:14:05Bob! Yeah, it's very good to be back. Hang on a sec.

0:14:07 > 0:14:08Excuse me...

0:14:08 > 0:14:10Bob, I'm sorry...

0:14:10 > 0:14:11Can you open the door please?

0:14:11 > 0:14:14Oh, for heaven's sake.

0:14:14 > 0:14:15Open the door.

0:14:21 > 0:14:24- Sorry about that - bad reception. - Mr Edwards, Serena Campbell.

0:14:24 > 0:14:26Is that supposed to mean something to me?

0:14:26 > 0:14:27It'll mean something to you

0:14:27 > 0:14:29if you don't get back to your bay immediately.

0:14:29 > 0:14:31This area is off limits.

0:14:32 > 0:14:34Thank you.

0:14:38 > 0:14:40Hmm.

0:14:42 > 0:14:45- Oh, dear. - How up to date are these?

0:14:45 > 0:14:48Benson's been sitting on them for three weeks just to say no.

0:14:48 > 0:14:49PAGER BEEPS

0:14:49 > 0:14:51Well, he might have a point this time.

0:14:52 > 0:14:55It's true then, they can clone.

0:14:55 > 0:14:57Will the real Guy Self please step forward?

0:14:58 > 0:15:00Yeah, Emily!

0:15:00 > 0:15:03I know, tell them patience is a virtue.

0:15:03 > 0:15:05Yes, quote me.

0:15:05 > 0:15:08Are you really going to make me trek all the way back to Northchurch

0:15:08 > 0:15:10just to tell Benson he was right?

0:15:10 > 0:15:13That's a conversation I would pay good money to see.

0:15:13 > 0:15:15I'd rather eat my own liver.

0:15:17 > 0:15:19Oh, come on, Guy.

0:15:19 > 0:15:22I'm bringing my patient to the best possible chance of survival.

0:15:22 > 0:15:24Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'd say that was me doing my job.

0:15:26 > 0:15:28Don't you think you've been hiding long enough?

0:15:31 > 0:15:33He calls you the "Special One", you know?

0:15:33 > 0:15:35- Who? Benson? - Sam, you twit!

0:15:37 > 0:15:39Not one of them docs gave me a chance.

0:15:39 > 0:15:40Not even a sniff.

0:15:40 > 0:15:43Then he rocks up in his Chelsea top.

0:15:43 > 0:15:44Just came out with it!

0:15:44 > 0:15:48Let's do this. I mean, Chelsea, sad sell-outs or what?

0:15:48 > 0:15:51- Oh, God, yeah.- Knows his footy though, doesn't he, Mum?

0:15:51 > 0:15:52Sam, you should be resting.

0:15:53 > 0:15:55Telling war stories again, Sam?

0:15:56 > 0:15:59- So, you going to help me or what? - Sam...

0:15:59 > 0:16:02I didn't come here for you to say no.

0:16:02 > 0:16:04Don't make me slap some sense into you.

0:16:07 > 0:16:09Forgive me, I'm new here. What's your name?

0:16:09 > 0:16:11Arthur Digby, sir.

0:16:11 > 0:16:15- Dr Digby. - Could you clerk Sam in?

0:16:15 > 0:16:19I want MRI scans with contrast and make it a priority on my authority.

0:16:19 > 0:16:23Us & Es, FBC, clotting and cross-match four units.

0:16:23 > 0:16:27Yes! I told you, Mum!

0:16:27 > 0:16:30- Guy, I don't know how to thank you. - You know the rules, Angie.

0:16:30 > 0:16:33Not till he's sitting up in bed, begging for a fried chicken and Match Of The Day.

0:16:38 > 0:16:41Rotator cuff and labrum seem fine.

0:16:41 > 0:16:43He was in a lot of pain.

0:16:43 > 0:16:45And there was no other way to get it off.

0:16:46 > 0:16:49Could you take the jacket off, Mr Edwards, please.

0:16:49 > 0:16:51Oh, yeah, certainly, be my pleasure. HE GROANS

0:16:51 > 0:16:53You're in pain?

0:16:53 > 0:16:55Wow, you're quite the doctor!

0:16:55 > 0:16:58I'm going to have to examine you, OK? Excuse me.

0:17:00 > 0:17:04Surely you have to wine and dine me first, I'm not that kind of girl.

0:17:04 > 0:17:07Let's have an FBC, Us & Es, amylase,

0:17:07 > 0:17:10clotting and abdominal X-ray.

0:17:10 > 0:17:13How long have you been like this?

0:17:13 > 0:17:14Since my suit got ruined!

0:17:15 > 0:17:17Has this happened before?

0:17:17 > 0:17:19No, no-one's ever cut up my threads before.

0:17:19 > 0:17:22Apart from a couple of exes.

0:17:22 > 0:17:24So, if you just write me up a healthy cheque...

0:17:26 > 0:17:27..I shall be on my way.

0:17:27 > 0:17:30Shall we say 950? HE GROANS

0:17:30 > 0:17:32Come on, Mr Edwards. Mr Edwards, sorry.

0:17:32 > 0:17:33Let's get you back into bed, shall we?

0:17:33 > 0:17:36You're going nowhere, Mr Edwards.

0:17:36 > 0:17:38Hourly obs, and 10mg of morphine.

0:17:40 > 0:17:42Severe stenosis?

0:17:42 > 0:17:45Comprehensive evaluation of the tricuspid

0:17:45 > 0:17:47and aortic valves needs to be done first.

0:17:47 > 0:17:50Stenosis might not be the underlying problem.

0:17:50 > 0:17:53I've checked Lara's paediatric notes,

0:17:53 > 0:17:56she had a bad streptococcal infection aged 12.

0:17:56 > 0:18:00Well, that would certainly explain how the stenosis started.

0:18:00 > 0:18:03Unbelievable how these things can go undiagnosed for so long.

0:18:03 > 0:18:05Well, most of her more serious symptoms

0:18:05 > 0:18:07could be put down to the fact that she was pregnant.

0:18:07 > 0:18:08Well, that's no excuse,

0:18:08 > 0:18:11it should have been picked up on her first check-up!

0:18:11 > 0:18:14- Maybe, but here we are. - Right, I'll talk to them.

0:18:14 > 0:18:18No need, no need, I've asked Mo to talk them through their options.

0:18:18 > 0:18:20I can handle this.

0:18:20 > 0:18:23Under your authority, of course.

0:18:23 > 0:18:25You deal with the new CEO.

0:18:25 > 0:18:28Who has now asked Elliot for a full departmental report,

0:18:28 > 0:18:30- just so you know. - Stay frosty, Naylor.

0:18:31 > 0:18:34We're a centre of cardiac excellence, remember.

0:18:34 > 0:18:36That's mostly thanks to me.

0:18:36 > 0:18:39- Keep me informed of any complications.- Of course.

0:18:42 > 0:18:45Lara's mitral valve is extremely constricted.

0:18:45 > 0:18:48In normal circumstances, I'd recommend an immediate replacement.

0:18:48 > 0:18:49The risk to the baby's too high.

0:18:49 > 0:18:51Right, then we go for a premature birth

0:18:51 > 0:18:53then replace it once she's recovered.

0:18:53 > 0:18:55Erm, she's 29 weeks...

0:18:55 > 0:18:58The chances of her survival without serious problems is pretty slim.

0:18:58 > 0:19:01So you're suggesting we wait to give the baby a better chance?

0:19:01 > 0:19:04Her condition will deteriorate, maybe rapidly.

0:19:04 > 0:19:07That's a fine line between managing her illness medically

0:19:07 > 0:19:09and buying the baby some time.

0:19:09 > 0:19:13Lara's 41, right, this is probably their one shot

0:19:13 > 0:19:14at having a healthy child.

0:19:16 > 0:19:19Listen, I might need some help prescribing Lara's medication.

0:19:19 > 0:19:23Whoa, look, it's one thing going through her notes, but...

0:19:23 > 0:19:26Mo, I don't want Jac involved any more, OK?

0:19:26 > 0:19:28She has a lot on her plate.

0:19:28 > 0:19:30And whatever her face is saying...

0:19:31 > 0:19:33All right. You owe me, Maconie.

0:19:33 > 0:19:36- Lead the way. - Just through here.

0:19:37 > 0:19:41Listen, if this starts to go pear-shaped, I wasn't here, OK?

0:19:41 > 0:19:42- Of course.- Uh-huh.

0:19:45 > 0:19:47Hi, I'm Ms Effanga. I just need to examine you.

0:19:55 > 0:19:59I don't care what you've got to say, just make it happen!

0:20:02 > 0:20:04You breaking hearts all ready?

0:20:04 > 0:20:08Oh, just some red tape mumbo jumbo with HR.

0:20:08 > 0:20:11- Apparently you shouldn't be here. - Well, we already knew that...

0:20:13 > 0:20:16So, Sam's operation...

0:20:17 > 0:20:20If you've lost your nerve, and you botch this up...

0:20:20 > 0:20:22I will kill you.

0:20:24 > 0:20:26Speak your mind, why don't you.

0:20:29 > 0:20:32Emily, cancel my meetings this afternoon.

0:20:32 > 0:20:35Yes, including the departmental on Darwin.

0:20:35 > 0:20:37Tell Jac Naylor I still want her report

0:20:37 > 0:20:40and gently remind Patricia in HR

0:20:40 > 0:20:44that I want Colette Sheward cleared for purpose on my authority.

0:20:48 > 0:20:50Very Obama.

0:20:50 > 0:20:54Well, you have an obstruction, Mr Edwards.

0:20:54 > 0:20:56I think we all know what's happened here.

0:20:56 > 0:21:01But if it isn't drugs, maybe it got up there by accident...

0:21:01 > 0:21:04- Care to enlighten me?- Well...

0:21:06 > 0:21:11I had some particularly indigestible bhajis on the flight.

0:21:11 > 0:21:12I did complain.

0:21:12 > 0:21:15You seem very good at complaining.

0:21:16 > 0:21:18Are you married?

0:21:18 > 0:21:19What exactly are we dealing with here?

0:21:19 > 0:21:22It might affect your treatment.

0:21:22 > 0:21:24- Miss, Mrs?- Ms...

0:21:24 > 0:21:26Ms.

0:21:27 > 0:21:29Ms Campbell...

0:21:31 > 0:21:35I'm sure you can appreciate, this is a very delicate matter for me.

0:21:35 > 0:21:38But I want to assure you, there is nothing...

0:21:39 > 0:21:42..let's say "dangerous" up there.

0:21:42 > 0:21:44Well, your results say otherwise.

0:21:44 > 0:21:47Whatever's inside you is causing some kind of infection.

0:21:54 > 0:21:56Shall we say £650 for the suit then?

0:21:56 > 0:21:59Colonoscopy under sedative if we can't find any other means

0:21:59 > 0:22:01and keep me posted if there is a change to his condition.

0:22:01 > 0:22:05I'm afraid you could be here for a long time, Mr Edwards.

0:22:06 > 0:22:07I'll check the list.

0:22:09 > 0:22:12So what happens when we do pop out exhibit A?

0:22:12 > 0:22:13Well, let me assure you.

0:22:13 > 0:22:16Whatever comes out of there will be tested.

0:22:16 > 0:22:18No, we can't go all CSI on this.

0:22:18 > 0:22:21- We have procedures.- Look, how about we just call it quits on the suit

0:22:21 > 0:22:24and I'm out of here once this is all done, I mean...

0:22:28 > 0:22:30I could make it worth your while.

0:22:36 > 0:22:39I don't know who you think you're dealing with here

0:22:39 > 0:22:41but I am Deputy CEO of this hospital

0:22:41 > 0:22:42and whatever is inside you

0:22:42 > 0:22:45will be dealt with under full and proper protocol.

0:22:45 > 0:22:47I like a feisty woman.

0:22:50 > 0:22:53How about you and me go for a few Dirty Martinis

0:22:53 > 0:22:56when this is all over? Hmm? Hmm?

0:23:03 > 0:23:07- I've overstepped the mark, haven't I?- By a long chalk.

0:23:09 > 0:23:11Actually, why don't we just press on.

0:23:11 > 0:23:15Starting with a full rectal examination.

0:23:17 > 0:23:21- Easy, tiger!- See if we can't dislodge your guilty little secret.

0:23:30 > 0:23:34Left untreated, the stenosis is life-threatening.

0:23:34 > 0:23:36That said, the surgery to replace the mitral valve

0:23:36 > 0:23:39is relatively straightforward.

0:23:39 > 0:23:42It's the baby that you need to consider.

0:23:42 > 0:23:46Now that we know the stenosis is there, we can prescribe diuretics

0:23:46 > 0:23:49and Digoxin to keep it at bay...

0:23:49 > 0:23:51But to leave things as they are...?

0:23:51 > 0:23:56It would mean a prolonged stay in the hospital, constant observation.

0:23:56 > 0:23:57Gary...

0:23:58 > 0:23:59..come and see your baby.

0:24:01 > 0:24:03Heart beat's nice and strong...

0:24:03 > 0:24:07Oh, look, Lara, you can see her little fingers!

0:24:07 > 0:24:09Right, let me know your decision, OK?

0:24:14 > 0:24:15Isn't she beautiful?

0:24:17 > 0:24:19Does this give my baby her best chance?

0:24:19 > 0:24:21We haven't even talked about this, Lara...

0:24:21 > 0:24:25- Without a doubt, but... - Then that's what we're doing.- Lara...

0:24:25 > 0:24:28It's my op, Gary...

0:24:28 > 0:24:29my call.

0:24:29 > 0:24:32You need to take the risk to your own health into consideration, Lara...

0:24:32 > 0:24:34Are you even listening to him?!

0:24:34 > 0:24:37What other option do we have, Gary?

0:24:37 > 0:24:38Look.

0:24:42 > 0:24:43Jonny.

0:24:48 > 0:24:51She has an arrhythmia and a tight mitral stenosis.

0:24:51 > 0:24:53She could go into low output status any time.

0:24:53 > 0:24:56There's another problem you might want to take into consideration...

0:24:56 > 0:24:57What's wrong?

0:24:57 > 0:25:00I'm concerned there may be an increased amount of nuchal fluid

0:25:00 > 0:25:02under the skin at the back of the baby's neck.

0:25:02 > 0:25:05Lara's a primip, she's over 35.

0:25:05 > 0:25:06It's Down's Syndrome?

0:25:09 > 0:25:11Look, I'm happy to talk to them alone...

0:25:11 > 0:25:13No, I want to be there.

0:25:13 > 0:25:15I want to be there.

0:25:16 > 0:25:20So Mr Edwards still not coughing up on what's in there?

0:25:20 > 0:25:23No, but I think all is forgiven on the suit front.

0:25:23 > 0:25:25How did you get him to drop the complaint?

0:25:25 > 0:25:27I have my ways...

0:25:27 > 0:25:29- Ms Campbell?- Mmm.

0:25:31 > 0:25:36Our new CEO would like to see you ASAP.

0:25:36 > 0:25:40- Why?- It seems that your putative drug mule in bay eight

0:25:40 > 0:25:45has made an official complaint against you, sexual misconduct.

0:25:45 > 0:25:46What?!

0:25:48 > 0:25:50The amnio test, if you decide to have it,

0:25:50 > 0:25:51will give a clear indication.

0:25:53 > 0:25:55I'm so sorry.

0:25:57 > 0:25:58You could, of course,

0:25:58 > 0:26:00decide to proceed with your pregnancy regardless

0:26:00 > 0:26:02but, given your condition...

0:26:02 > 0:26:03What do you mean?

0:26:06 > 0:26:09Well, you may want to consider different treatment options

0:26:09 > 0:26:11if the test comes back positive.

0:26:13 > 0:26:16- If you choose to have the test...?- Choose?

0:26:16 > 0:26:18You don't leave us much choice, do you?

0:26:20 > 0:26:22Why is this happening to us?

0:26:34 > 0:26:36I hate this part of the job.

0:26:37 > 0:26:39There's no easy way to approach these things.

0:26:45 > 0:26:47KNOCK AT DOOR Yeah?

0:26:50 > 0:26:52You wanted to see me?

0:26:52 > 0:26:55Er, Mark Edwards says you touched him inappropriately.

0:26:55 > 0:26:59That complaint carries automatic suspension pending full inquiry.

0:26:59 > 0:27:00This is ludicrous!

0:27:00 > 0:27:03Agreed, total waste of resources...

0:27:03 > 0:27:04You said you would handle this,

0:27:04 > 0:27:06you seem to have made it ten times worse.

0:27:06 > 0:27:09You can't possibly believe him, it's ridiculous, he tried to bribe me...

0:27:09 > 0:27:12What is a consultant of your experience doing

0:27:12 > 0:27:15putting yourself in a situation like that in the first place?

0:27:15 > 0:27:20- Come on!- You were alone with a male patient in a curtained bay.

0:27:20 > 0:27:24Why? That is the only question the board will ask you - protocol.

0:27:24 > 0:27:27Protocol! Oh, I see...

0:27:27 > 0:27:31So it's all right for you to ignore HR rules,

0:27:31 > 0:27:33nick patients from other trusts

0:27:33 > 0:27:35and indeed ditch your duties as CEO

0:27:35 > 0:27:38to play brain surgeon on your first day.

0:27:38 > 0:27:41How long did you say your probationary period was?

0:27:42 > 0:27:43You get this sorted, Serena,

0:27:43 > 0:27:46or I will need your report on the incident by the end of play.

0:27:54 > 0:27:56"We must flow like water...

0:27:58 > 0:28:00"..choose the path of least resistance."

0:28:01 > 0:28:02Sun Tzu, Art of War?

0:28:06 > 0:28:08Mr Miyagi, Karate Kid.

0:28:10 > 0:28:11Never seen it.

0:28:11 > 0:28:14Erm, Sam Cumming's latest bloods and scans.

0:28:25 > 0:28:28Sun Tzu, though, now there's a man who knew his onions.

0:28:29 > 0:28:33"Strategy without tactics is the slowest way to victory.

0:28:33 > 0:28:36"Tactics without strategy is the quickest way to defeat."

0:28:40 > 0:28:42That's what neurosurgery is all about.

0:28:42 > 0:28:44We make our decisions here.

0:28:44 > 0:28:49Then, when we get to operate, we know our path of least resistance.

0:28:49 > 0:28:51Come and have a look at this.

0:28:53 > 0:28:56It's a recurrent cerebellar.

0:28:58 > 0:29:01Quite close to the brain stem.

0:29:01 > 0:29:03And many of the lower-cranial nerves.

0:29:03 > 0:29:04It's very complex.

0:29:06 > 0:29:11Yeah, I think I have a solution, it's not without considerable risk,

0:29:11 > 0:29:14but until Sam says otherwise I'm going to offer it to him.

0:29:14 > 0:29:16You truly believe you can do this, don't you?

0:29:16 > 0:29:18This is all about confidence.

0:29:33 > 0:29:34Hi.

0:29:36 > 0:29:37All right.

0:29:42 > 0:29:44I think you're doing the right thing,

0:29:44 > 0:29:47getting the amnio done by the way.

0:29:47 > 0:29:49- You reckon?- Mm-hm.

0:29:51 > 0:29:55I spoke to that obstetrician...

0:29:55 > 0:29:58I know what he's saying, I'm not stupid.

0:29:58 > 0:30:00If it means saving Lara, then...

0:30:08 > 0:30:10We nearly split up over this baby.

0:30:11 > 0:30:17Well...there's certainly a lot of pressure to making babies.

0:30:17 > 0:30:18She wants a kid so badly.

0:30:20 > 0:30:25This isn't over by a long way, Gary...

0:30:25 > 0:30:27you can still have a perfectly healthy baby.

0:30:29 > 0:30:31I was going to ask her to marry me.

0:30:35 > 0:30:36Sorry.

0:30:39 > 0:30:41You don't need this, you're expecting your own.

0:30:41 > 0:30:42Yeah, but I don't pretend

0:30:42 > 0:30:45to understand what you're going through.

0:30:45 > 0:30:47You know, until this morning...

0:30:47 > 0:30:48I felt in control.

0:31:01 > 0:31:04Hey, sexy, you can't stay away?

0:31:04 > 0:31:05What do you think you're playing at?

0:31:05 > 0:31:07Black Jack, do you play, Serena?

0:31:07 > 0:31:09Your lies could cost me my job.

0:31:09 > 0:31:13This is the only game in Vegas where you CAN actually have an edge...

0:31:14 > 0:31:16..and I like to have an edge.

0:31:18 > 0:31:19You know what I want.

0:31:19 > 0:31:22Seems like a very small thing for you to lose your job over.

0:31:22 > 0:31:25- What's inside you?- My business.

0:31:25 > 0:31:27You just get it out.

0:31:27 > 0:31:29Well, you're a surgeon, aren't you?

0:31:30 > 0:31:33Eh? Oh, how are you with a needle and thread?

0:31:38 > 0:31:40Do you really think...

0:31:40 > 0:31:42a man of my means...

0:31:42 > 0:31:44is some kind of drug runner?

0:31:44 > 0:31:46Nothing you're doing is telling me any different.

0:31:46 > 0:31:48Well, that's the gamble, isn't it?

0:31:48 > 0:31:49I'm not playing, Mr Edwards.

0:31:49 > 0:31:52I'd sooner take my chances with what comes out of your backside.

0:31:55 > 0:31:57Right, ready to perform the colonoscopy.

0:31:57 > 0:31:59Does everyone know?

0:31:59 > 0:32:01He's a chancer, no-one believes him.

0:32:01 > 0:32:03Anything I can do to help.

0:32:03 > 0:32:06- Oh, my stupidity, my problem. - Listen...

0:32:06 > 0:32:10You should not be anywhere near this bloke, you know that, don't you?

0:32:10 > 0:32:12Which is why you're performing the procedure.

0:32:12 > 0:32:15But whatever comes out of his backside, bring it to me first.

0:32:19 > 0:32:20Right, Mr Edwards.

0:32:20 > 0:32:23So what do you reckon he's hiding up his bottom?

0:32:23 > 0:32:28Well, hopefully several ounces of pure Colombian, for Serena's sake.

0:32:28 > 0:32:31The amniocentesis has confirmed that your daughter

0:32:31 > 0:32:33has Down's Syndrome, yes.

0:32:34 > 0:32:38I've got some numbers here from Down's Syndrome charities.

0:32:38 > 0:32:42I think they will be able to help you

0:32:42 > 0:32:45in terms of explaining what your options are.

0:32:45 > 0:32:47Given your condition...

0:32:47 > 0:32:50So, support groups if you want to keep the baby.

0:32:50 > 0:32:54Or adoption or fostering if you want to go down that...

0:32:54 > 0:32:57OK, what we're going to do is give you some time to think things over.

0:32:57 > 0:32:58OK?

0:33:14 > 0:33:16HE SNIFFS

0:33:16 > 0:33:19You're letting yourself get emotionally involved.

0:33:19 > 0:33:21- Am I now? - Yeah, you are.

0:33:21 > 0:33:24Look, between me, Mo and Mr T, we've got it covered.

0:33:24 > 0:33:26- I'll speak to... - Not happening.

0:33:26 > 0:33:27I'm trying to help you, what...?

0:33:27 > 0:33:30Listen, just because we've bumped uglies a few times

0:33:30 > 0:33:33doesn't mean YOU own me!

0:33:33 > 0:33:34Bonnie...

0:33:34 > 0:33:36Bonnie!

0:33:36 > 0:33:402004 European Championships, against us! We took the lead!

0:33:40 > 0:33:43Zidane puked up on the penalty spot he was that nervous!

0:33:43 > 0:33:46Then he stepped up and slotted it like it was nothing.

0:33:46 > 0:33:49Took full responsibility in front of a watching world.

0:33:49 > 0:33:52I'm not big on football

0:33:52 > 0:33:55but are you saying that nerves are a good thing in the big games?

0:33:55 > 0:33:56Oh, no, no, no, it's not nerves,

0:33:56 > 0:33:58it's fear of failure that sharpens the mind.

0:34:01 > 0:34:04Arthur, could you leave us for a moment, please?

0:34:04 > 0:34:06Oh, yeah, sorry.

0:34:08 > 0:34:09So...

0:34:10 > 0:34:12..you and me.

0:34:12 > 0:34:14Back on this journey again?

0:34:14 > 0:34:18You don't have to be a frequent flyer, Sam.

0:34:18 > 0:34:20We could treat you medically...

0:34:20 > 0:34:22And let my mum watch me slowly die?

0:34:24 > 0:34:27Oh, erm, your PA Emily is on the phone...

0:34:27 > 0:34:30Said there's a meeting, you're not answering your mobile.

0:34:30 > 0:34:33There's a reason for that, you idiot...

0:34:33 > 0:34:34Why don't I deal with Emily?

0:34:39 > 0:34:41So you're doing this for your mum?

0:34:41 > 0:34:44I can't put her through any more.

0:34:45 > 0:34:49I wake up, she's there in the chair, watching me sleep.

0:34:49 > 0:34:50Not slept herself.

0:34:50 > 0:34:54- Every night's the same. - She's your mother, Sam.

0:34:54 > 0:34:56That doesn't make it right though, does it?

0:34:59 > 0:35:02She's given up everything for me...

0:35:02 > 0:35:04One way or another, that all stops today.

0:35:06 > 0:35:10I need to know, do you understand the risks involved here?

0:35:10 > 0:35:12I HAVE to know.

0:35:12 > 0:35:14I want it done!

0:35:14 > 0:35:16Don't go all soft on me like Benson did!

0:35:16 > 0:35:19Hey, that was Benson...

0:35:19 > 0:35:22This is Mourinho talking. ANGIE CRIES

0:35:22 > 0:35:23See you in theatre.

0:35:27 > 0:35:31- Problem?- Yep, Angie - she's gone all water feature on us.

0:35:34 > 0:35:37It's what he wants. It's what he wants.

0:35:37 > 0:35:39Talk to me, Angie.

0:35:39 > 0:35:41Everything's different here...

0:35:41 > 0:35:42you're different!

0:35:45 > 0:35:49All I've ever known is Northchurch and Sam was always safe there.

0:35:49 > 0:35:51Even when they told you there was nothing more they could do for him?

0:35:51 > 0:35:54That's the problem, isn't it?

0:35:54 > 0:35:55I believe them!

0:35:57 > 0:35:59He's going to die today, I know he is...

0:36:02 > 0:36:04You said that...

0:36:04 > 0:36:07- I seemed different? - You just seem so...

0:36:08 > 0:36:09So what?

0:36:11 > 0:36:13Benson told me you'd lost your wife...

0:36:14 > 0:36:16That's got to affect a person.

0:36:18 > 0:36:22You barely left Sam's bedside the last time.

0:36:24 > 0:36:27You waited with us, you slept there.

0:36:29 > 0:36:30You think...

0:36:30 > 0:36:32that Sam doesn't have my full attention?

0:36:34 > 0:36:37I want to be able to trust you, I just don't know if I can.

0:37:23 > 0:37:26You know what, Mr Benson? You probably get this all the time

0:37:26 > 0:37:28but has anyone ever told you you're a complete...

0:37:28 > 0:37:30Incompetent control freak!

0:37:30 > 0:37:32Right, let's do this.

0:37:36 > 0:37:39MACHINE BEEPS

0:37:39 > 0:37:41Suction ready?

0:37:50 > 0:37:53Right. I'm starting the corticotomy...

0:38:00 > 0:38:01Bipolar diathermy.

0:38:22 > 0:38:23Get that to the lab for me.

0:38:23 > 0:38:26Like you were never away.

0:38:26 > 0:38:27PHONE RINGS

0:38:30 > 0:38:32Come to see some real surgery, Digby?

0:38:32 > 0:38:34How long do you think it'll take?

0:38:34 > 0:38:37Why? What's the problem? You got a date to get to or something?

0:38:37 > 0:38:39- Er, no.- Would you...?

0:38:41 > 0:38:43Serena Campbell wants to talk to you about the complaint.

0:38:43 > 0:38:45I said you had your hands full.

0:38:45 > 0:38:47Oh, well, it'll have to wait.

0:38:47 > 0:38:49She can call me this evening, she's got my number.

0:38:49 > 0:38:52Oh, so you do still own a phone?

0:39:02 > 0:39:06So, don't you want to know what I've been getting up to?

0:39:06 > 0:39:09Oh, I'm sure if it was anything exciting, you'd have called me.

0:39:09 > 0:39:11Hm, going all ice queen on me?

0:39:12 > 0:39:16Now, now, let's not get nasty in front of the children.

0:39:16 > 0:39:17We're just not geared up for this.

0:39:21 > 0:39:22I'm in sales.

0:39:22 > 0:39:25I work all over the country.

0:39:25 > 0:39:28Sometimes I'm away for weeks at a time.

0:39:28 > 0:39:30She's still my baby.

0:39:30 > 0:39:33We have talked about this, love.

0:39:33 > 0:39:37Lara is planning to go back to work, we need the wages.

0:39:37 > 0:39:39Her mother is going to come and help, but I...

0:39:39 > 0:39:42CANNOT ask her to deal with this.

0:39:42 > 0:39:45There was a boy...

0:39:45 > 0:39:47on our street when I was little...

0:39:48 > 0:39:51Michael, his name was...

0:39:51 > 0:39:55He used to stand at the corner by the bus stop.

0:39:55 > 0:40:00And he'd just wave and... smile at the passengers.

0:40:00 > 0:40:03Put a little cross on his notepad when they waved back...

0:40:05 > 0:40:09That was it. That was all he had.

0:40:10 > 0:40:13And his mum looked after him all his life.

0:40:13 > 0:40:15It really doesn't have to be like that.

0:40:15 > 0:40:17The families of children with Down's Syndrome

0:40:17 > 0:40:20- receive much more support than they used to...- Jonny.

0:40:20 > 0:40:22We've discussed this...

0:40:22 > 0:40:23- Many kids receive...- Jonny!

0:40:23 > 0:40:26..mainstream education, right, they hold down jobs,

0:40:26 > 0:40:29they have relationships, live happy lives...

0:40:29 > 0:40:31Nurse!

0:40:31 > 0:40:33I don't care about all that!

0:40:33 > 0:40:35- Gary! - I know this is hard for you both

0:40:35 > 0:40:38but you must consider all the facts before making any decision.

0:40:38 > 0:40:45It's not about the baby any more! It is about getting you well.

0:40:50 > 0:40:52Could I have a word outside, please?

0:40:52 > 0:40:54Yeah.

0:41:02 > 0:41:04What does Ms Naylor think?

0:41:04 > 0:41:08I was waiting for their decision on the termination before I told her.

0:41:08 > 0:41:11Right. Well, she needs to know about this.

0:41:11 > 0:41:17She's up the wall with these reports for the new CEO, I didn't want to

0:41:17 > 0:41:20bother her with this until we knew exactly what we're dealing with...

0:41:20 > 0:41:23Jonny, there's only so much Mo and I can do before we cross the line.

0:41:23 > 0:41:26Now, either you go and talk to her or I will.

0:41:33 > 0:41:37I've removed the bulk of the tumour, but this bit here...

0:41:39 > 0:41:43It's much closer to the brain stem than I'd anticipated.

0:41:43 > 0:41:46The risk of recurrence could be less than the risk of harm.

0:41:46 > 0:41:48So what you saying?

0:41:48 > 0:41:50I'm going to have to call it a day.

0:41:50 > 0:41:53Sam knows the risks, so does Angie.

0:41:53 > 0:41:56Neither of them are expecting this to be a good day.

0:41:56 > 0:41:59Why go this far and not try and finish the job?

0:42:01 > 0:42:03I could excise the rest with a CUSA.

0:42:05 > 0:42:07Then it's time to man up and get this done.

0:42:13 > 0:42:16Do something with your face, will you? The troops need a pep talk.

0:42:19 > 0:42:25Right, everyone, let's do this. Digby's got a date to go to.

0:42:27 > 0:42:28CUSA.

0:42:31 > 0:42:32I've been kept completely in the dark.

0:42:32 > 0:42:35As far as I knew, we were looking at balancing out

0:42:35 > 0:42:38the health of the mother against the survival of the child.

0:42:38 > 0:42:41You have made me look like an idiot in front of my patient.

0:42:41 > 0:42:44Care to explain?

0:42:44 > 0:42:47Something's wrong, can you please help us?

0:42:47 > 0:42:49We were talking, then she just clutched her chest

0:42:49 > 0:42:52- then the monitor started going off...- What are we dealing with?

0:42:52 > 0:42:53Lara's in her third trimester,

0:42:53 > 0:42:55severe Mitral stenosis with a low output.

0:42:55 > 0:42:57BEEPING

0:42:57 > 0:42:59No pulse. She's going into VF!

0:43:04 > 0:43:06Defib.

0:43:08 > 0:43:10Charge to 150.

0:43:10 > 0:43:12Charge.

0:43:12 > 0:43:13Clear.

0:43:15 > 0:43:17Baby's showing signs of distress.

0:43:17 > 0:43:19Bonnie.

0:43:19 > 0:43:20You'll have to leave us now, Gary.

0:43:20 > 0:43:22Charge to 200.

0:43:22 > 0:43:23She's going to live, isn't she?

0:43:23 > 0:43:25They're doing everything they can.

0:43:25 > 0:43:27- Charge.- Clear.

0:43:32 > 0:43:35OK, I need to open her up.

0:43:35 > 0:43:36Remove the blockage.

0:43:36 > 0:43:39Otherwise I won't be able to restore her heartbeat.

0:43:39 > 0:43:42Mr Thompson, would you care to come with me?

0:43:42 > 0:43:43I'll scrub in.

0:43:43 > 0:43:45Not your patient any more, Ms Naylor.

0:43:52 > 0:43:55What the hell did you think you were playing at?

0:43:55 > 0:43:58There was a localised perforation leading to some infection.

0:43:58 > 0:44:01But nothing a course of antibiotics won't take care of.

0:44:01 > 0:44:03Is he awake?

0:44:03 > 0:44:05He's recovering in the bay.

0:44:06 > 0:44:07Right, moment of truth.

0:44:19 > 0:44:21That's not the result we wanted.

0:44:21 > 0:44:23What was the point of bringing you in

0:44:23 > 0:44:25when the parents hadn't made a decision?

0:44:25 > 0:44:26Is that your best answer?

0:44:26 > 0:44:29Because you may have to put that in writing directly to the new CEO.

0:44:29 > 0:44:32There wasn't a clinical decision to be made at that time...

0:44:32 > 0:44:36Her heart is failing. There's no question, no debate.

0:44:36 > 0:44:38- You save the mother. - Just like that, yeah?

0:44:38 > 0:44:39Just straight out tell them

0:44:39 > 0:44:41that we want to destroy their dreams?

0:44:41 > 0:44:42Oh, that worked out really well!

0:44:42 > 0:44:45Now Lara's lying in theatre, we may lose her and the baby.

0:44:45 > 0:44:47No-one, no-one could have anticipated the speed

0:44:47 > 0:44:49at which she deteriorated!

0:44:49 > 0:44:51And you know what, Jac?

0:44:52 > 0:44:54Oh...

0:44:57 > 0:45:02Istanbul was a corker, but for sheer tension...

0:45:02 > 0:45:07Gerrard's equaliser banged in the back of the net right at the death.

0:45:21 > 0:45:23The Gerrard final...

0:45:26 > 0:45:28Scrunch your eyes up.

0:45:32 > 0:45:33CRUNCHING

0:45:35 > 0:45:36You hear that?

0:45:36 > 0:45:39Course. Heard you boring me.

0:45:43 > 0:45:44Stick your tongue out.

0:45:46 > 0:45:47Oh!

0:45:47 > 0:45:49Give it a rest, will you?!

0:45:52 > 0:45:53Who's this?

0:45:56 > 0:45:57Mum.

0:45:57 > 0:46:00SHE SOBS Who am I?

0:46:00 > 0:46:03Some quack who doesn't know what he's doing!

0:46:07 > 0:46:08Where are you going?

0:46:08 > 0:46:12I need to call Benson. Been looking forward to this all day.

0:46:16 > 0:46:17Jac chew you out?

0:46:17 > 0:46:19No, we had tea and biscuits!

0:46:19 > 0:46:21Why didn't you tell her about the amnio?

0:46:21 > 0:46:23I don't know! But I do know I don't want another lecture!

0:46:28 > 0:46:30If you speak to me like that one more time today,

0:46:30 > 0:46:32I swear I will slap you stupid.

0:46:32 > 0:46:35Right, I tried to tell her... I-I just couldn't.

0:46:35 > 0:46:37- I couldn't put it on her. - Bad call.

0:46:37 > 0:46:40Well, of course it was a bad call!

0:46:40 > 0:46:44Don't pretend like you know what we're going through.

0:46:44 > 0:46:47You have no idea. You're not the one who's waking up

0:46:47 > 0:46:49with your stomach in knots every day.

0:46:49 > 0:46:51We're going to see our baby born without joy.

0:46:51 > 0:46:54No, I can't do this.

0:47:04 > 0:47:07Mr Edwards...

0:47:07 > 0:47:10Give me my money. I'll walk away, I promise.

0:47:10 > 0:47:13Well, I'm afraid I've had to report it.

0:47:13 > 0:47:15The finance office will be sending somebody down.

0:47:15 > 0:47:18They'll be here shortly. You'll get a receipt.

0:47:18 > 0:47:19You love your red tape, don't you?

0:47:19 > 0:47:22Well, I'm sure you've got a perfectly plausible reason for

0:47:22 > 0:47:24having the almighty dollar stuffed up your backside.

0:47:24 > 0:47:27We're not going to fall out over this?

0:47:27 > 0:47:31Guy Self, CEO of this hospital. Pleased to meet you, Mr Edwards.

0:47:33 > 0:47:35You all right?

0:47:37 > 0:47:39Never better.

0:47:40 > 0:47:43Now then, Mark, may I call you Mark?

0:47:45 > 0:47:48We seem to have a bit of a situation here

0:47:48 > 0:47:49but you look like a reasonable man.

0:47:49 > 0:47:52I can be, yeah.

0:47:52 > 0:47:56Good, good. Serena, can you get me the money, please?

0:47:56 > 0:47:59Now, I'm guessing Vegas?

0:47:59 > 0:48:02Where did you stay? The Wynn? Caesar's?

0:48:02 > 0:48:06I hear the Palms is the place to stay these days.

0:48:06 > 0:48:10So what, you struck lucky?

0:48:10 > 0:48:13Landed yourself a big win, didn't want to play the duty on it?

0:48:13 > 0:48:16Well, here's what I've got to offer

0:48:16 > 0:48:18a man like you, Mark.

0:48:18 > 0:48:21A man with contraband stuffed up his jacksy.

0:48:21 > 0:48:24A man who makes nasty, sordid little complaints that could

0:48:24 > 0:48:26have cost a good doctor her job,

0:48:26 > 0:48:30and then assaults her.

0:48:32 > 0:48:33No, I never touched her!

0:48:33 > 0:48:37I have two witnesses here who say you did.

0:48:45 > 0:48:48Look, I'm going to lay my cards on the table, all right?

0:48:48 > 0:48:53I've managed to get myself into a lot of serious trouble.

0:48:54 > 0:48:58So this money that you're holding, that's my lifeline.

0:49:01 > 0:49:06The Paediatric Oncology Department of this hospital

0:49:06 > 0:49:09thanks you for your kind donation.

0:49:12 > 0:49:16Now, why don't you quit while you're behind...so to speak?

0:49:45 > 0:49:47So, Serena,

0:49:47 > 0:49:50fresh start? Whole new day tomorrow.

0:49:52 > 0:49:57Some people think the CEO's job is just about paperwork.

0:49:57 > 0:49:59I think I can still concentrate on medicine.

0:49:59 > 0:50:05Hmm. Good luck with that. Thank you, Guy.

0:50:13 > 0:50:16Any news?

0:50:16 > 0:50:18I thought you could tell me?

0:50:26 > 0:50:28You all right?

0:50:28 > 0:50:30Not really.

0:50:32 > 0:50:37I, erm... I saw you arguing with that consultant before...

0:50:37 > 0:50:40the pregnant one.

0:50:40 > 0:50:42You in the mire?

0:50:42 > 0:50:46- She's... It's my baby she's carrying.- Oh.

0:50:46 > 0:50:49Office romance, eh?

0:50:53 > 0:50:56We've actually got some problems of our own,

0:50:56 > 0:51:01and um, I thought I could cope today... I came up short.

0:51:06 > 0:51:12I've cried my eyes out today, but I never let her see me shed a tear.

0:51:15 > 0:51:19You've got to stay strong for them, even if there's nothing you can do.

0:51:23 > 0:51:25Is your kid going to be all right?

0:51:25 > 0:51:28I honestly don't know... I won't know till she's born.

0:51:31 > 0:51:33And there's not a thing I can do about that.

0:52:08 > 0:52:10I believe you mentioned dinner?

0:52:24 > 0:52:28Don't know what was going through my head today.

0:52:28 > 0:52:30I guess I was just trying to protect you.

0:52:30 > 0:52:33My knight in shining armour?

0:52:33 > 0:52:34Maybe...

0:52:38 > 0:52:43All I want to do is fix things for you and the baby and...

0:52:45 > 0:52:46..I realise I can't.

0:52:49 > 0:52:52Lara made it through the caesarean.

0:52:54 > 0:52:56Mother and baby doing well then?

0:52:56 > 0:52:58She's scared to see the baby.

0:52:58 > 0:53:01It's a lot to take on. Choices were taken away...

0:53:01 > 0:53:04It's her wee girl. So she'll come round.

0:53:04 > 0:53:07Why? Because you only do happy endings?

0:53:07 > 0:53:08HE LAUGHS

0:53:10 > 0:53:14I'm just as frightened as you are, but she can't stay in there forever.

0:53:14 > 0:53:16OK.

0:53:22 > 0:53:23OK.

0:53:23 > 0:53:28I acted like a Muppet today.

0:53:28 > 0:53:30Agreed?

0:53:30 > 0:53:34But I realise that this situation, it is what it is.

0:53:34 > 0:53:36And there's nothing we can do about that,

0:53:36 > 0:53:39except be brave.

0:53:39 > 0:53:41For her.

0:53:45 > 0:53:47Jonny?

0:53:47 > 0:53:49Thank you for being a Muppet.

0:53:49 > 0:53:52My back was killing me today.

0:54:12 > 0:54:14Where is she?

0:54:14 > 0:54:15Here.

0:54:22 > 0:54:25There's no obvious complications from the premature birth.

0:54:27 > 0:54:29Has Gary been in to see her yet?

0:54:29 > 0:54:31Yeah. He's just popped out to get some things.

0:54:33 > 0:54:35And Lara?

0:54:36 > 0:54:37Not yet, no.

0:55:16 > 0:55:18Lara, this is your daughter.

0:55:26 > 0:55:28LOUD CAR ENGINE

0:55:33 > 0:55:34How's Sam?

0:55:34 > 0:55:36What is that thing?

0:55:36 > 0:55:37My car.

0:55:38 > 0:55:42Yeah, it's all good, I just couldn't be doing with all that footie yap.

0:55:42 > 0:55:44Angie?

0:55:44 > 0:55:46Yeah, don't worry. You're her hero again.

0:55:46 > 0:55:48Sorry, mate, she doesn't need it any more.

0:55:48 > 0:55:50Really sorry, there's 20 for your trouble.

0:55:50 > 0:55:54Oi, behave yourself! I've been waiting half an hour for that ride!

0:55:55 > 0:55:58Yeah, need to talk.

0:55:58 > 0:56:00What?

0:56:00 > 0:56:01SIREN BLARES

0:56:08 > 0:56:11- Where are you going? - I work here.

0:56:11 > 0:56:12Thank you for kicking my butt.

0:56:12 > 0:56:15I'd been asking for it all day.

0:56:15 > 0:56:19Please, please forgive me. Give me a second chance, please.

0:56:19 > 0:56:23I don't know about you, but I could really do with some breakfast.

0:56:25 > 0:56:27I don't know what you want from me.

0:56:27 > 0:56:31Well, maybe it's more to do with what you want from me?

0:56:31 > 0:56:32What do you mean?

0:56:32 > 0:56:35I mean, I don't exactly come without baggage, do I?

0:56:36 > 0:56:40I'm having a baby with the scariest woman on the planet,

0:56:40 > 0:56:43I don't even know if my child is going to survive.

0:56:43 > 0:56:47And even if she does there's a long, long road ahead of us.

0:56:47 > 0:56:49It is not going to be a hayride for us.

0:56:51 > 0:56:53But if you're in...

0:56:55 > 0:56:56..I'm in.

0:57:01 > 0:57:02LIFT PINGS

0:57:10 > 0:57:14Truth is, Col, I was in a really, really bad place, and...

0:57:14 > 0:57:16I didn't want to drag you down with me.

0:57:16 > 0:57:18That's why I took the desk job here.

0:57:20 > 0:57:21You know, ease myself back in.

0:57:21 > 0:57:25Had to do something, couldn't go back to those vultures at North Church.

0:57:28 > 0:57:30Colette? Come and work with me.

0:57:33 > 0:57:36I'm a surgeon, not a pen-pusher, we could really build something here.

0:57:36 > 0:57:38Why should I?

0:57:38 > 0:57:42Because you know that I know that you know that

0:57:42 > 0:57:43I am nothing without you.

0:57:45 > 0:57:48I need you. We're a double act.

0:57:48 > 0:57:50Fred and Ginger, Bogart and Bacall...

0:57:50 > 0:57:51Ant'n'Dec.

0:57:52 > 0:57:55I've said it, it's out there, no way to get it back.
