0:00:02 > 0:00:04You have secondaries. In your lungs.
0:00:08 > 0:00:11Anything is better than living a lie.
0:00:11 > 0:00:14You just have to be honest with yourself.
0:00:14 > 0:00:16What are the odds of me getting a new liver?
0:00:16 > 0:00:19I'm afraid you're not compatible.
0:00:19 > 0:00:20What?
0:00:20 > 0:00:21You can't donate.
0:01:05 > 0:01:09Mr Tyler, suspected appendicitis.
0:01:09 > 0:01:11Yeah, just waiting on his ultrasound.
0:01:11 > 0:01:13I need one myself.
0:01:13 > 0:01:15I'm still stuffed!
0:01:15 > 0:01:19I've got to say, that shepherd's pie you made was absolutely outstanding.
0:01:19 > 0:01:22Well, they say the best way to a man's heart is through his stomach...
0:01:22 > 0:01:24Preferably with a nine-inch bread knife.
0:01:26 > 0:01:28Man trouble, Dominic?
0:01:28 > 0:01:29Of sorts.
0:01:31 > 0:01:33He had a really bad night last night.
0:01:33 > 0:01:35I don't think his meds are agreeing with him.
0:01:35 > 0:01:37He shouldn't be here.
0:01:37 > 0:01:39Try telling him that.
0:01:39 > 0:01:40What's he saying to his GP?
0:01:42 > 0:01:46Cancer shmancer. That's all I'm getting from him.
0:01:46 > 0:01:49I'm going to talk to Occupational Health and Oncology,
0:01:49 > 0:01:53- get them to reassess his meds and give him something to help him sleep.- And what about today?
0:01:53 > 0:01:55Got a job for you.
0:01:55 > 0:01:59- OK, well, look, I need to finish off...- Can you just get your coat?
0:01:59 > 0:02:01Arthur? Can I see you in my office, please?
0:02:07 > 0:02:09Ahhh! Thanks for filling the breach,
0:02:09 > 0:02:12we're really stretched with Mr Di Lucca off sick.
0:02:12 > 0:02:13Glad to be of service.
0:02:13 > 0:02:17Sooner have someone who knows what they're doing than Larry Locum.
0:02:17 > 0:02:19Um, Fletch will get you up to speed.
0:02:21 > 0:02:24- Major Berenice Griselda Wolfe? - Yep.
0:02:24 > 0:02:27Also known as Ms Berenice Griselda Wolfe?
0:02:27 > 0:02:29Yes, who wants to know?
0:02:29 > 0:02:32Could we possibly speak somewhere private?
0:02:32 > 0:02:33Tone, how you doing, mate?
0:02:33 > 0:02:36I-I'm good, Fletch, how's the kids?
0:02:36 > 0:02:38Bleeding me dry, but keeping me young.
0:02:39 > 0:02:42This is a fairly sensitive issue, Ms Wolfe,
0:02:42 > 0:02:44I really think we should, er...
0:02:44 > 0:02:47Forgive me for my impatience, but I'm at work and you're eating
0:02:47 > 0:02:49into my day, so whoever you are, just say whatever it is
0:02:49 > 0:02:51- you have to say. - As you insist.
0:02:52 > 0:02:56I've been instructed by your husband's lawyer to serve you with this divorce petition.
0:02:59 > 0:03:00Are you...
0:03:01 > 0:03:03Are you for real?
0:03:04 > 0:03:06You bring this to my place of work?
0:03:06 > 0:03:07You're currently No Fixed Abode,
0:03:07 > 0:03:09so where else am I supposed to find you?
0:03:09 > 0:03:12I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news.
0:03:20 > 0:03:25When Edward and I divorced he said, "You'll never find anyone else like me!"
0:03:25 > 0:03:27I said, "Yes, that's the point."
0:03:29 > 0:03:30Cup of tea?
0:03:34 > 0:03:36Well, it wasn't my decision, was it? I mean,
0:03:36 > 0:03:39apparently you're indispensable and therefore treated with kid gloves,
0:03:39 > 0:03:43- but it's fine for me to take time off to take you home!- I really don't need you to babysit me, it's fine.
0:03:43 > 0:03:46Yeah, well, I'm under strict orders to get you home, tucked in
0:03:46 > 0:03:49and dreaming of Austerlitz before I can come back here and save lives.
0:03:49 > 0:03:51Wow! You look how I feel.
0:03:51 > 0:03:53Oh, charming! Another ray of sunshine.
0:03:53 > 0:03:56I'm assuming that Ollie's finally given you a knicker drawer, then?
0:03:56 > 0:03:59- Yeah, how's it going with you two? - Um...
0:03:59 > 0:04:03The taxi's here, Diggers. So do I need to buy a hat or what?
0:04:03 > 0:04:07No, we're not quite at that stage yet. Keep you posted.
0:04:07 > 0:04:09Whoa... What happened?
0:04:09 > 0:04:12Minor RTC. Paramedics say that Dad passed out at the wheel.
0:04:12 > 0:04:14He shouldn't be driving.
0:04:14 > 0:04:16Yes, I know, my thoughts exactly!
0:04:16 > 0:04:19They're going to take him straight up to Keller, given his previous.
0:04:19 > 0:04:20Diggers, taxi!
0:04:24 > 0:04:29I need to get on shift. Why don't you talk him round? He looks wrecked.
0:04:29 > 0:04:32I'll do my best. But thanks for the input.
0:04:36 > 0:04:39Your doing or Marcus's?
0:04:39 > 0:04:40Mine.
0:04:40 > 0:04:42Irreconcilable differences, apparently.
0:04:42 > 0:04:45He's obviously hurting and getting his retaliation in early.
0:04:45 > 0:04:47Edward did exactly the same.
0:04:47 > 0:04:49You finished it?
0:04:50 > 0:04:53Well, he was the one having the affair,
0:04:53 > 0:04:55so I felt quite within my rights.
0:04:55 > 0:04:58So where are you living? I take it you've moved out?
0:04:58 > 0:04:59Splashed out on a four-star.
0:04:59 > 0:05:03Mmm! Nice to have a swim in the morning and breakfast in bed?
0:05:03 > 0:05:04Ha!
0:05:04 > 0:05:07It's not going to be for very long.
0:05:07 > 0:05:09Ah. The house?
0:05:11 > 0:05:13His dead mother's.
0:05:13 > 0:05:17- Assets?- Joint and frozen, according to this.
0:05:17 > 0:05:18State of mind?
0:05:18 > 0:05:22Bloody furious. How dare he send some bailiff to my place of...
0:05:22 > 0:05:25You know, I found I only learnt about my husband's real character
0:05:25 > 0:05:29once the gloves were well and truly off.
0:05:29 > 0:05:30Expect the worst.
0:05:31 > 0:05:33Anything less is a bonus.
0:05:37 > 0:05:41Dr March, have you checked over the manufacturer's testing report?
0:05:43 > 0:05:45Jac got you burning the candle at both ends, has she?
0:05:45 > 0:05:47Er, yes, you could say that.
0:05:47 > 0:05:49Here, Mia Rowberts, foster carer,
0:05:49 > 0:05:53diagnosed with tracheal chondrosarcoma 18 months ago.
0:05:53 > 0:05:55That's a rare thing to find in the trachea.
0:05:55 > 0:05:58Yeah, I thought it might be of interest, given your research.
0:05:58 > 0:06:03The tumour's aggressive and it will eventually cut off her airway if we don't excise.
0:06:03 > 0:06:06Martin, listen to me... Whoa, Mr!
0:06:06 > 0:06:09You need to calm down, love.
0:06:09 > 0:06:13What did I do to you when you were playing truant, all those years ago?
0:06:13 > 0:06:15Then there's your answer.
0:06:15 > 0:06:18Tell him I'll be round to give him earache if he doesn't pack it in.
0:06:18 > 0:06:21I have GOT to ask. What did you do?
0:06:21 > 0:06:23Sent him to school in odd trainers for a week.
0:06:23 > 0:06:26Didn't want to hang with the cool kids in them, did he?
0:06:26 > 0:06:27So, what's the plan, Stan?
0:06:27 > 0:06:32Well, we need to do some more tests, find out what's going on and then we will talk through your options.
0:06:32 > 0:06:35Can you hurry it up? Got a Zumba class in an hour.
0:06:35 > 0:06:37Morning, petal, how are you?
0:06:38 > 0:06:41So have Oncology ruled out radiotherapy and chemo?
0:06:41 > 0:06:43Try and shrink the tumour before we attempt surgery?
0:06:43 > 0:06:46They're both ineffective on her type of cancer.
0:06:46 > 0:06:48The side effects far outweigh the benefits.
0:06:48 > 0:06:51But Mia took the treatment anyway.
0:06:51 > 0:06:53Think we could all learn quite a lot from her.
0:06:53 > 0:06:55Hmm. So we're it?
0:06:55 > 0:07:01Organise a navigational bronchoscopy as well as the fresh CT and PET scans.
0:07:01 > 0:07:03- We need to know exactly what we're dealing with.- OK.
0:07:05 > 0:07:07Kathy, could you check his ammonia levels,
0:07:07 > 0:07:10get FBCs, U&Es, LFTs, coag and group and save, please. Thank you.
0:07:10 > 0:07:12Any injuries from the crash?
0:07:12 > 0:07:13His stomach is very swollen.
0:07:13 > 0:07:16But I've ordered a chest X-ray and abdominal CT to check
0:07:16 > 0:07:19the bleeding, which is very superficial at the moment, so...
0:07:19 > 0:07:21And you've managed to get renal protection fluids in to him?
0:07:21 > 0:07:26- Well, he's had a litre so far, and then I'll send him off to imaging as soon as possible. OK?- Mm-hm.
0:07:26 > 0:07:28What were you thinking, driving your car, Dad?
0:07:28 > 0:07:30I'm a grown man, Morven.
0:07:30 > 0:07:31Where the hell was AJ?
0:07:33 > 0:07:36Arthur, I can understand your concern, but I think it's time you went...
0:07:36 > 0:07:41- Look, can you keep an eye on things here, please, while I go and make a few calls?- Of course, yeah.
0:07:41 > 0:07:43We do have a taxi waiting.
0:07:44 > 0:07:48Arthur, you're running on adrenaline. Just because this is Morven's dad doesn't...
0:07:48 > 0:07:52It comes and goes. I'm on my second wind. Please, can you just let me do this?
0:07:54 > 0:07:58- OK. All right, but the minute it gets too much...- I'm fine.
0:07:58 > 0:07:59Don't fret.
0:08:04 > 0:08:06Can you just keep them off my case, please?
0:08:14 > 0:08:15What's all this?
0:08:15 > 0:08:18Tracheal stent proposal is going to the board for approval
0:08:18 > 0:08:20now we have a viable prototype.
0:08:20 > 0:08:23So I need you to address as many of these postmortem case studies
0:08:23 > 0:08:27as possible, where the device could have helped to prove our cause.
0:08:27 > 0:08:29SHE SIGHS HEAVILY
0:08:29 > 0:08:32"Naylor Tracheal Stent" waits for no girl, apparently.
0:08:32 > 0:08:34It's got a certain ring to it, don't you think?
0:08:34 > 0:08:39With all the time in the world, I am never going to get through all this.
0:08:39 > 0:08:43Then what difference will one day make? Plus Mia's an ongoing live case.
0:08:43 > 0:08:48Now as her consultant, I could have you back and say I pulled you in.
0:08:48 > 0:08:51How long are you going to let her walk all over you?
0:08:56 > 0:08:59I do not like those tube things, freak me right out!
0:08:59 > 0:09:02SNAPS: Yes, well, they are a necessary evil, I'm afraid.
0:09:05 > 0:09:07I'm so sorry.
0:09:10 > 0:09:11How long have you been fostering?
0:09:11 > 0:09:13Forever and a day.
0:09:13 > 0:09:17Only do respite for other carers now, though, since...you know.
0:09:18 > 0:09:22Got a set of unruly triplets due in at the end of the week.
0:09:22 > 0:09:25Don't know how I'm going to tell them apart.
0:09:25 > 0:09:28Suppose I could always brand them.
0:09:28 > 0:09:30Sounds like a plan.
0:09:33 > 0:09:38Arthur? Austin is showing signs of more confusion.
0:09:38 > 0:09:40The encephalopathy is clearly worsening.
0:09:40 > 0:09:43I've tried to drain the ascites as much as possible,
0:09:43 > 0:09:45but the fluid just keeps accumulating.
0:09:48 > 0:09:50Right, so you're aware of these results?
0:09:50 > 0:09:53Well, his end stage liver disease score is 69,
0:09:53 > 0:09:55so he's an even higher priority.
0:10:00 > 0:10:02Good to see you again, Arthur.
0:10:02 > 0:10:03You too, Austin.
0:10:05 > 0:10:07Wish it was under better circumstances.
0:10:09 > 0:10:12So, what's the verdict?
0:10:13 > 0:10:16Your liver function is deteriorating
0:10:16 > 0:10:21and your prognosis without transplant is poor, so we've
0:10:21 > 0:10:25made the decision to increase your priority on our waiting list.
0:10:30 > 0:10:32There's not much else I can do?
0:10:32 > 0:10:35It's a waiting game. Hopefully we can get an offer soon.
0:10:35 > 0:10:38Yep, whoever meets the criteria gets it. Fully aware.
0:10:38 > 0:10:41I take it you want to stay with him for Morven's sake?
0:10:41 > 0:10:43Right, today is just like any other day.
0:10:43 > 0:10:45Austin is just any other patient, OK?
0:10:45 > 0:10:47Well, if the fatigue gets too much,
0:10:47 > 0:10:51I've set a little quiet space in the staffroom for you to have a rest.
0:10:51 > 0:10:53Right, OK, listen up, toots.
0:10:53 > 0:10:55Arthur is far too polite to say any of this.
0:10:55 > 0:10:59But as much as he appreciates our concerns, he does not need
0:10:59 > 0:11:03- wrapping in cotton wool. Capiche? Get it?- Got it.- Good.
0:11:05 > 0:11:06Thank you.
0:11:13 > 0:11:16Zosia, Mia's tumour
0:11:16 > 0:11:18Smack bang in the middle of her trachea.
0:11:18 > 0:11:19See, just there.
0:11:19 > 0:11:21Well, that's good, isn't it? Easier access for surgery.
0:11:21 > 0:11:24The problem is the lesion is coming straight from the cartilage.
0:11:24 > 0:11:28The trachea would collapse if we tried to excise it.
0:11:28 > 0:11:30So, no other options?
0:11:30 > 0:11:32Not unless we can get the whole thing out at its root.
0:11:32 > 0:11:34It'll only grow back.
0:11:34 > 0:11:37Best we can offer is to make her as comfortable as possible.
0:11:37 > 0:11:39How much time has she got?
0:11:39 > 0:11:43Difficult to say. All attempts to shrink it have failed.
0:11:43 > 0:11:47We struggled to even get a stent in where it's situated.
0:11:47 > 0:11:50I'll be recommending palliative care from here on in.
0:11:52 > 0:11:55His bilirubin level is now over 150.
0:11:55 > 0:11:58He is coagulopathic and his renal function is off.
0:11:58 > 0:12:00We need to get him stabilised as quickly as possible
0:12:00 > 0:12:03while we're waiting for an organ to become available.
0:12:03 > 0:12:04He's already on lactulose.
0:12:04 > 0:12:07We've stopped the spironolactone and the antibiotic prophylaxis.
0:12:07 > 0:12:10Let's see how he reacts and keep him on 15 minute obs.
0:12:12 > 0:12:16Kate just called. Another get well message says,
0:12:16 > 0:12:20"I hope your toe feels better soon."
0:12:20 > 0:12:22She dropped me off this morning.
0:12:22 > 0:12:24Told her I've got an ingrown toenail.
0:12:24 > 0:12:27Are we going to have to find some new chairs for
0:12:27 > 0:12:28when they all come visiting?
0:12:28 > 0:12:32Had 27 for Christmas dinner last year!
0:12:32 > 0:12:33All foster children you've helped?
0:12:33 > 0:12:3514 were. My little posse, I call them.
0:12:35 > 0:12:38And have you got children of your own as well?
0:12:38 > 0:12:42Couldn't have them. I saw this young girl out on the streets one day.
0:12:42 > 0:12:45She was begging, only about 11.
0:12:45 > 0:12:48Took her home, you know, for a warm and a cup of tea.
0:12:48 > 0:12:50No-one to take care of her?
0:12:51 > 0:12:56She had me, Suzanne was the reason I got into fostering.
0:12:56 > 0:12:58Stayed for eight years.
0:12:58 > 0:13:01Happily married with a family of her own now.
0:13:01 > 0:13:02The first of many?
0:13:03 > 0:13:06You wouldn't believe the number of troubled kids out there,
0:13:06 > 0:13:07too old to adopt.
0:13:07 > 0:13:11No-one wants them when all they need is a smile and a hug
0:13:11 > 0:13:12half the time.
0:13:15 > 0:13:19So, dear, you come to any conclusions,
0:13:19 > 0:13:21or are we still at judges' houses?
0:13:23 > 0:13:27I just need to discuss your test results.
0:13:27 > 0:13:29Let me speak to your consultant and I'll be back.
0:13:29 > 0:13:31I'll be waiting.
0:13:35 > 0:13:39- So how did she take the news?- Erm...
0:13:39 > 0:13:41What you plotting, Zosia?
0:13:41 > 0:13:43Why don't we use a stent?
0:13:43 > 0:13:46It's not going to save her life but it could buy her more time.
0:13:46 > 0:13:48It comes with a whole host of problems.
0:13:48 > 0:13:52It can collapse, it can't be removed once the tumour grows around it.
0:13:52 > 0:13:57Yes that's the rigid variety, I'm talking about Jac's new prototype.
0:13:57 > 0:13:58It's like a balloon, it can inflate
0:13:58 > 0:14:01and deflate with the flow of the tumour, it can be removed.
0:14:01 > 0:14:03- Is Jac behind this?- No.
0:14:03 > 0:14:06Cos I'd hate to think that you were trying to score points with her.
0:14:06 > 0:14:10You said earlier that we could all learn something from her.
0:14:10 > 0:14:12She's given her entire life to help other people.
0:14:12 > 0:14:15Why don't we give something back, what has she got to lose?
0:14:15 > 0:14:19The right to the dignified, pain-free death she deserves.
0:14:19 > 0:14:23Believe me, this is for the best. We'll tell her together.
0:14:26 > 0:14:29Arthur! I got here as soon as I heard.
0:14:29 > 0:14:31What's the latest with Dad?
0:14:31 > 0:14:34He's still very poorly but he is relatively stable now.
0:14:34 > 0:14:36But he's going to pull through, right?
0:14:36 > 0:14:39Well, he's in dire need of a donor liver, AJ.
0:14:39 > 0:14:42- So if we don't keep him stable, then we...- What, you let him drive?!
0:14:42 > 0:14:44- Sis.- You were supposed to be looking after him!
0:14:44 > 0:14:47- You know that was the deal.- I popped out for a couple hours.
0:14:47 > 0:14:49- I can't be with him 24/7!- More like Stephanie texts you and you
0:14:49 > 0:14:51- go running.- Give it a rest!
0:14:51 > 0:14:54Guys, we're being considered for a liver offer for Austin.
0:14:56 > 0:14:59That's... That's fantastic!
0:14:59 > 0:15:03Let's not get too excited just yet. It is only provisional.
0:15:03 > 0:15:07There's an urgent case at St James' that's being considered first.
0:15:07 > 0:15:09When will that decision be made?
0:15:09 > 0:15:12They're making that assessment now, but if we do get the offer of the
0:15:12 > 0:15:14organ, then Austin is our recipient.
0:15:23 > 0:15:26Look, I'm sorry for flying off the handle like that...
0:15:26 > 0:15:27Look, I get it.
0:15:28 > 0:15:32My watch, Dad decides to go for a joyride. Bad AJ.
0:15:34 > 0:15:37Tony, what happened?
0:15:37 > 0:15:40- Someone's Chihuahua take umbrage did they?- Something like that.
0:15:40 > 0:15:44Bay five, please.
0:15:44 > 0:15:47The ED think that his wound needs reconstructive surgery.
0:15:48 > 0:15:50You know him well?
0:15:50 > 0:15:52Tony? Yeah he's all right.
0:15:52 > 0:15:55No offence given today's little showdown but, yeah he's all right.
0:15:55 > 0:15:58Did you hire him for something?
0:15:58 > 0:16:00Er, no. He served me papers on a debt.
0:16:01 > 0:16:04And now you're bosom buddies?
0:16:04 > 0:16:07Well, it's a dirty job but someone's got to do it.
0:16:07 > 0:16:11Well, I hope this isn't an elaborate ruse to serve me with more fubar?
0:16:11 > 0:16:13Just doing my job. Can you do yours, please?
0:16:13 > 0:16:16Well, you'll be ecstatic to hear that I'm your consultant today.
0:16:16 > 0:16:19Tetanus and antibiotics stats, please.
0:16:20 > 0:16:22I'll try not to enjoy giving you some needle.
0:16:24 > 0:16:26They say I'm going to need surgery.
0:16:26 > 0:16:28Her bark's worse than her bite, mate.
0:16:31 > 0:16:34- So Morven gave you the hairdryer treatment as well?- Yeah.
0:16:38 > 0:16:40Good job I did crash the car in hindsight.
0:16:41 > 0:16:45We would have found you face down in your own cornflakes otherwise.
0:16:45 > 0:16:46What's so funny?
0:16:48 > 0:16:49Life is.
0:16:51 > 0:16:52Any news yet?
0:16:52 > 0:16:54Let's treat no news as good news, yeah?
0:16:56 > 0:16:58It's so frustrating.
0:16:58 > 0:17:00You know all three of us and not one of us a match.
0:17:00 > 0:17:02Sometimes that's the way it goes.
0:17:02 > 0:17:05Let's just concentrate on what we can do, yeah?
0:17:07 > 0:17:11So what happens to the other person if... You know if Dad gets the nod?
0:17:12 > 0:17:14There's no way of knowing.
0:17:17 > 0:17:19I'm really sorry, Mia.
0:17:19 > 0:17:23But I genuinely think palliative care is your only option now.
0:17:26 > 0:17:29Well that's put paid to my to-do list.
0:17:29 > 0:17:31Have to let Social Services know I can't look after those
0:17:31 > 0:17:33triplets now.
0:17:33 > 0:17:35Their foster carer was going on holiday too.
0:17:39 > 0:17:42Hey, we've always known this day was coming.
0:17:43 > 0:17:45Just didn't expect it to be so soon.
0:17:47 > 0:17:50Still, all my affairs are in order.
0:17:50 > 0:17:53Might have to cancel that mini-break to Budapest
0:17:53 > 0:17:55with Gerard Butler, though.
0:17:58 > 0:17:59Do you get away much?
0:18:01 > 0:18:02Not as much as I'd like to.
0:18:02 > 0:18:08I do love my little trips. Embrace the culture, try new things.
0:18:09 > 0:18:12You should see the world whilst you're young enough to enjoy it.
0:18:12 > 0:18:14What's your favourite place?
0:18:14 > 0:18:19Scarborough. My dad used to take me every summer.
0:18:21 > 0:18:25We'd build sand castles, skip stones in the sea
0:18:25 > 0:18:27and trough ice cream by the gallon.
0:18:28 > 0:18:32He was a bugger. Nothing but a big kid himself.
0:18:34 > 0:18:35I need to go back there.
0:18:35 > 0:18:37Mia, with your condition. I really don't think...
0:18:37 > 0:18:42Going out the same way I came in, Mo. Kicking and screaming.
0:18:42 > 0:18:45You've known me too long to expect me to go out without a fight!
0:18:49 > 0:18:51How's your mum, by the way?
0:18:52 > 0:18:55She's good thanks, I'll tell her you were asking after her.
0:19:00 > 0:19:02You all right?
0:19:03 > 0:19:06You must be delivering news like this on a regular basis.
0:19:06 > 0:19:09Doesn't make it any easier, Mia.
0:19:09 > 0:19:11Come on, what's really eating you?
0:19:12 > 0:19:15You don't get far in my line of work if you can't read the signs.
0:19:17 > 0:19:19I have a friend who's ill...
0:19:20 > 0:19:24..and I don't know what's wrong with me, but I don't seem
0:19:24 > 0:19:27- to be able to... - To engage with them?
0:19:29 > 0:19:30How sick are they?
0:19:32 > 0:19:35He'll be fine, the prognosis is very positive.
0:19:35 > 0:19:36So why the long face?
0:19:39 > 0:19:40I'm not sure, um...
0:19:42 > 0:19:45I suppose it's because I feel like I'm a spectator.
0:19:45 > 0:19:49When you're used to diving in and saving the day, I suppose?
0:19:49 > 0:19:51Yeah. I need to go and talk to Oncology.
0:19:51 > 0:19:55I lost Thomas to leukaemia when he was 12 years old.
0:19:56 > 0:19:58Never felt so helpless in my whole life.
0:19:59 > 0:20:02Couldn't bear seeing him lying in the hospital bed.
0:20:02 > 0:20:06Used to kill me going to that children's ward.
0:20:06 > 0:20:12He was a proper little scrapper, though. Learnt a lot from him.
0:20:14 > 0:20:17We used to play hide 'n' seek with the other kids.
0:20:17 > 0:20:20Sister used to go mad at us, right miserable cow!
0:20:22 > 0:20:26You know, it was only after he'd gone
0:20:26 > 0:20:29I actually realised he'd gotten me through it all.
0:20:32 > 0:20:34A smile...
0:20:35 > 0:20:39..a kind word goes an awful long way.
0:20:40 > 0:20:42You'll find a path.
0:20:47 > 0:20:50You're looking a bit wiped out, matey boy.
0:20:50 > 0:20:51Seen you looking better.
0:20:52 > 0:20:55You shouldn't be here fretting over me.
0:20:55 > 0:20:58You should be looking after yourself.
0:20:59 > 0:21:00Someone's got to.
0:21:03 > 0:21:05I'm a goner, aren't I, Arthur?
0:21:05 > 0:21:08On the contrary. If the offer of the liver comes through...
0:21:08 > 0:21:11You get nothing for finishing second, Arthur.
0:21:12 > 0:21:15I know there's a more deserving patient in front of me.
0:21:17 > 0:21:19What's your prognosis?
0:21:21 > 0:21:22Very good.
0:21:23 > 0:21:25The drugs are getting you down, then?
0:21:27 > 0:21:28I'm not letting them.
0:21:30 > 0:21:31And you and Morven?
0:21:32 > 0:21:35Business as usual, why wouldn't we be?
0:21:35 > 0:21:39My little girl seems pretty smitten with you.
0:21:41 > 0:21:46Promise me something. You'll look after her when all this is done.
0:21:47 > 0:21:49Austin, I really don't think...
0:21:49 > 0:21:52Come on, Arthur. We both know how this ends for me.
0:22:03 > 0:22:05- Owww, oww, oww!! - Come on Tony, man up.
0:22:05 > 0:22:07I've got to get the wound, mate.
0:22:07 > 0:22:10Charming, is this what I pay my taxes for?!
0:22:10 > 0:22:11Yeah, sue me.
0:22:11 > 0:22:13How did you get into this mess, Mr Bradbury?
0:22:13 > 0:22:17Big fan of The Rockford Files. The rest is history.
0:22:17 > 0:22:21Rhodesian Ridgeback named Flynn. Gentle giant normally,
0:22:21 > 0:22:23partial to an ear fondle.
0:22:23 > 0:22:25Owned by a regular customer of mine
0:22:25 > 0:22:29who unfortunately forgot to tell me about its raging ear infection.
0:22:29 > 0:22:32You spoken to the police? They going to put the dog down?
0:22:32 > 0:22:36Ah, no way. Flynn's the only company she's got!
0:22:36 > 0:22:39It's not the dog's fault he's sick or that his owner has
0:22:39 > 0:22:41catalogue shopping issues.
0:22:41 > 0:22:43That's very understanding of you, Mr Bradbury.
0:22:43 > 0:22:46- Can you make a fist for me? - Please, call me Tony.
0:22:48 > 0:22:55Well, Tony, I think that mutt has given you some severe tendon
0:22:55 > 0:22:56and ligament damage.
0:22:56 > 0:22:58Will you prep him for theatre?
0:22:58 > 0:23:01Wound will need debriding so we can see the extent of...
0:23:01 > 0:23:03But you'll get me up and running again?
0:23:03 > 0:23:04I mean, like today.
0:23:04 > 0:23:07Why? You got an important darts match or something?
0:23:07 > 0:23:09You know how it is, Fletch. I don't get paid
0:23:09 > 0:23:11unless I'm spreading misery.
0:23:11 > 0:23:15All right, Mrs D. Bunions acting up again, eh?
0:23:16 > 0:23:18You take care now.
0:23:18 > 0:23:20Another satisfied customer?
0:23:20 > 0:23:25Had to repo her telly right in the middle of her watching Pointless.
0:23:25 > 0:23:26She wasn't happy.
0:23:27 > 0:23:30I'm sure you get a lot of job satisfaction.
0:23:30 > 0:23:32From 18 hours of grief a day?
0:23:32 > 0:23:34On my toes half the time.
0:23:34 > 0:23:37Not the first time a dog's bitten me. Cost me my marriage.
0:23:37 > 0:23:40Why do you do it then? Why don't you just find another career?
0:23:40 > 0:23:43Well, he's the caring, sharing type aren't you, Tone?
0:23:43 > 0:23:46You must get some perverted joy from it?
0:23:46 > 0:23:49People are people in my book, whatever mess they're in.
0:23:49 > 0:23:52Quite the caped crusader?
0:23:52 > 0:23:54I know I'm probably not on your Christmas list right now,
0:23:54 > 0:23:55but are you OK?
0:23:56 > 0:24:00I mean, if you need any legal help, I've got a couple of family
0:24:00 > 0:24:01lawyers on the books.
0:24:01 > 0:24:03I might take you up on that, Tony.
0:24:03 > 0:24:06But let's see if we can get you back on the mean streets of Holby
0:24:06 > 0:24:07first, shall we?
0:24:14 > 0:24:16Don't say it I don't want to hear it.
0:24:16 > 0:24:19Well you know Essie's got that nice little creche for you.
0:24:19 > 0:24:23- All those fluffy cushions. - Yep, she means well.
0:24:23 > 0:24:27Listen, Arthur. Sacha has had to change Austin's meds.
0:24:27 > 0:24:28Is he responding?
0:24:28 > 0:24:31In a fashion, yes, but we don't know how long we can keep him
0:24:31 > 0:24:33stable enough for surgery.
0:24:33 > 0:24:36Essie's currently getting an update from Bloods and Transplant.
0:24:36 > 0:24:38And the donor organ?
0:24:38 > 0:24:42It's still up for grabs but the clock is ticking.
0:24:42 > 0:24:45Austin basically just told me that he's expecting to die, so...
0:24:48 > 0:24:50Oh, nice, OK, so you've just had that chat.
0:24:50 > 0:24:54Is Morven aware that his condition's declining?
0:24:54 > 0:24:57Morven is being stoic as only Morven can be.
0:24:57 > 0:25:00I think it's AJ who is starting to crack.
0:25:00 > 0:25:02- So you might want to have a chat. - Thanks Dom.
0:25:02 > 0:25:06And I know the last few days have been hard for you back at the flat.
0:25:06 > 0:25:08Don't say it, don't want to hear it.
0:25:12 > 0:25:15I was debriding dead tissue and looking to repair the tendon
0:25:15 > 0:25:17when I found the damaged artery.
0:25:17 > 0:25:19We'll need to restore the blood supply
0:25:19 > 0:25:22if he's ever going to play snooker again?
0:25:22 > 0:25:25Rocking the Mr Magoo look, if you don't mind me saying.
0:25:25 > 0:25:27I could do it blindfold if you'd prefer?
0:25:29 > 0:25:30Wonder what he does for fun?
0:25:30 > 0:25:32Takes candy from babies?
0:25:32 > 0:25:35Did you have a few choice words for him?
0:25:35 > 0:25:38I'm trying really hard to despise him
0:25:38 > 0:25:41but I think he might actually be quite a nice guy.
0:25:41 > 0:25:455-0 Prolene, please. Thank you.
0:25:45 > 0:25:48You've spoken to you-know-who?
0:25:48 > 0:25:50We're keeping it to a war of words by text.
0:25:50 > 0:25:51Most of mine end with "off".
0:25:51 > 0:25:54How civilised. Who's getting custody of the cat?
0:25:54 > 0:25:55We don't have one, but if we did,
0:25:55 > 0:25:58he'd have to prise it from my cold, dead hands.
0:25:58 > 0:26:02That's the spirit! Go for his golf clubs too.
0:26:02 > 0:26:04Remind me never to cross you.
0:26:07 > 0:26:09Hey.
0:26:09 > 0:26:12Hey. You spoken to Arthur since this morning?
0:26:14 > 0:26:16I haven't really had the time, if I'm honest.
0:26:16 > 0:26:20Arthur needs to be at home, you saw how exhausted he was this morning.
0:26:20 > 0:26:22Well, he clearly wants to be with Morven.
0:26:22 > 0:26:24Yeah, obviously, but he's not doing anyone any favours
0:26:24 > 0:26:27- by running on empty is he.- He wouldn't be there if he couldn't...
0:26:27 > 0:26:29Zosia, you and I both know that all the positive
0:26:29 > 0:26:34thinking in the world cannot save someone from a disease.
0:26:34 > 0:26:36He needs to be at home, he needs rest.
0:26:39 > 0:26:42He's not in control of how this is going to pan out.
0:26:42 > 0:26:44And he's got everyone up there pussyfooting around him
0:26:44 > 0:26:48when he needs me and you to just give it to him straight.
0:26:50 > 0:26:53His prognosis is better than good
0:26:53 > 0:26:57but everyone is just too damn scared of mentioning the C-word!
0:27:00 > 0:27:02What are we even doing here
0:27:02 > 0:27:05if we don't believe we can really make a difference, Dom?
0:27:14 > 0:27:18Hey. There's no easy way of putting this.
0:27:21 > 0:27:24But the liver has gone to another recipient.
0:27:26 > 0:27:28So, er, what happens now?
0:27:28 > 0:27:32Well, you're still a priority patient at the top of the local
0:27:32 > 0:27:34transplant list.
0:27:34 > 0:27:36If and when another organ becomes available we'll do everything
0:27:36 > 0:27:38we can for you.
0:27:40 > 0:27:42I'm really sorry.
0:27:54 > 0:27:56Well, that's it? We're done for?
0:27:56 > 0:27:58OK. As long as we can keep him stable enough for surgery,
0:27:58 > 0:27:59there's still a chance.
0:27:59 > 0:28:02Look at him, Arthur. What's he got left?
0:28:02 > 0:28:03What? Two, three days tops?
0:28:05 > 0:28:08Right, OK, come here. Go home, get some clothes and some food,
0:28:08 > 0:28:12cos we're going to be here for the long haul, yeah?
0:28:12 > 0:28:13Go on, nothing you can do here now.
0:28:17 > 0:28:22- Whoa!- Whoa! OK. This has got to stop.
0:28:23 > 0:28:25Just take your hands off of me, take your hands off me.
0:28:25 > 0:28:30- You need to at least take a break. - I'm OK, honestly.
0:28:31 > 0:28:34Just, er, just don't tell Morven, yeah?
0:28:37 > 0:28:40You set me a task today, to lay out the case to back clinical trials
0:28:40 > 0:28:43- for the new tracheal stent.- This is Ms Effanga's patient, shouldn't...
0:28:43 > 0:28:46Yes, I'm the one you've had studying the damn thing morning,
0:28:46 > 0:28:48noon and night, seven days a week.
0:28:49 > 0:28:52Mia is the perfect candidate for the clinical trial.
0:28:52 > 0:28:54The prototype could extend her life by months.
0:28:54 > 0:28:56All I'm asking is for you to look at the scan
0:28:56 > 0:28:59and give me your professional opinion.
0:29:03 > 0:29:05Is the tumour low grade?
0:29:05 > 0:29:06Intermediate.
0:29:06 > 0:29:09You know Mo's not going to appreciate you going over her
0:29:09 > 0:29:10head like this.
0:29:10 > 0:29:12Well, I can't stand by and do nothing
0:29:12 > 0:29:15knowing that we might have the tools to make a difference
0:29:15 > 0:29:17to the quality of her remaining life.
0:29:17 > 0:29:19This tumour is well established.
0:29:19 > 0:29:21So you excise what you can, without collapsing
0:29:21 > 0:29:23the cartilage in the trachea.
0:29:23 > 0:29:24Making it sound easy.
0:29:24 > 0:29:28We then have to somehow insert the stent around the damaged tissue.
0:29:28 > 0:29:30Isn't that exactly what it's designed for?
0:29:30 > 0:29:32Flexibility and manoeuvrability?
0:29:32 > 0:29:35Your prototype is worthless if not tested.
0:29:38 > 0:29:40I'll have to clear it with Hanssen.
0:29:40 > 0:29:43Speak to the patient, offer her the treatment.
0:29:43 > 0:29:45But make sure she is in full knowledge that this is
0:29:45 > 0:29:47an untested prototype.
0:29:54 > 0:29:56What did AJ want with you?
0:29:56 > 0:29:58More questions I can't give answers to.
0:29:58 > 0:30:02Like who got the liver? Why not his dad? Etc.
0:30:02 > 0:30:03Just excuse me a minute.
0:30:10 > 0:30:13Some nameless, faceless person plays God today
0:30:13 > 0:30:15and just decides someone else should live.
0:30:15 > 0:30:18It's a really carefully monitored and assessed process.
0:30:18 > 0:30:20It's not just a case of bad luck.
0:30:20 > 0:30:22I know this is really stressful for you...
0:30:22 > 0:30:27Me and my dad had a massive row today.
0:30:27 > 0:30:29Ah, OK.
0:30:30 > 0:30:31I lied to him.
0:30:34 > 0:30:36I told him that I got my place for my Masters
0:30:36 > 0:30:38and I didn't even go to the interview.
0:30:40 > 0:30:44He called my senior lecturer and you can guess the rest.
0:30:44 > 0:30:47That's why he was in the car. He came looking for me.
0:30:50 > 0:30:53Well there's a lot more at stake than your education here.
0:30:53 > 0:30:55I know that.
0:30:57 > 0:30:59Never should have let it come to this.
0:30:59 > 0:31:01What do you mean?
0:31:01 > 0:31:05Morven says I have a habit of making the wrong choices in life.
0:31:08 > 0:31:10Your colleague, Essie knows.
0:31:10 > 0:31:12There's no point trying to hide it any more.
0:31:15 > 0:31:16Tell me.
0:31:18 > 0:31:20Arthur, I was a match.
0:31:20 > 0:31:22I was a match for live liver donation.
0:31:24 > 0:31:26How long will it give me?
0:31:26 > 0:31:31Months definitely, years if the tumour remains localised.
0:31:31 > 0:31:35But I have to tell you, that this device is untried and untested.
0:31:35 > 0:31:37You want me to be a guinea pig? Hit me with it.
0:31:37 > 0:31:38What are the risks?
0:31:38 > 0:31:41As with all operations, going under anaesthesia can
0:31:41 > 0:31:46have its complications. Bleeding, ECMO, death.
0:31:46 > 0:31:47Sorry I asked!
0:31:47 > 0:31:50I just need you to understand there are no guarantees.
0:31:50 > 0:31:51We will do our level best.
0:31:51 > 0:31:53Can't remember the last time I took a breath without
0:31:53 > 0:31:55wheezing like I was on 40 a day.
0:31:55 > 0:31:58It will definitely improve your breathing.
0:31:58 > 0:32:00Then that's all I need to know.
0:32:00 > 0:32:02Let's get on with it.
0:32:02 > 0:32:06I just need you to fully understand that this is completely
0:32:06 > 0:32:09uncharted territory for us. We'll be pioneering.
0:32:09 > 0:32:11Death doesn't scare me.
0:32:11 > 0:32:14I made a date with him a long time ago but he can wait.
0:32:14 > 0:32:16It's life I'm craving.
0:32:16 > 0:32:17What's going on?
0:32:26 > 0:32:31So all this time, you knew you could save him?
0:32:31 > 0:32:33Why do you think I've come clean, Morven?
0:32:33 > 0:32:35What? But it didn't enter your head yesterday or any other day?!
0:32:35 > 0:32:37Morven, look, this really isn't helping.
0:32:37 > 0:32:39Look, you need to stay out of this!
0:32:39 > 0:32:42Dad was doing OK. There was every reason to believe
0:32:42 > 0:32:43another donor would come along.
0:32:43 > 0:32:47You're going to see Essie right now and you'll come forward! OK?
0:32:47 > 0:32:49You can't force him.
0:32:49 > 0:32:52Morven, I'm sorry, I...
0:32:54 > 0:32:57You must have had your reasons for bowing out.
0:32:57 > 0:32:59I absolutely don't need to know them
0:32:59 > 0:33:01but you just need to listen to me now.
0:33:01 > 0:33:03Here we go. You think I don't understand what's at stake
0:33:03 > 0:33:06- here, Arthur?- No, no, I'm saying that you need to think very
0:33:06 > 0:33:08carefully about what you're getting yourself into.
0:33:08 > 0:33:11Well it's not like I have a choice now, is it?
0:33:12 > 0:33:14Not trialled, not tested.
0:33:14 > 0:33:17And by the time the prototype is, it will be all too late for Mia.
0:33:17 > 0:33:20The cells of the tumour are becoming malignant.
0:33:20 > 0:33:23Even if you're confident you could perform this little miracle...
0:33:23 > 0:33:25Could the use of the new stent buy her time?
0:33:25 > 0:33:29You cannot possibly give Mia any hard and fast guarantees.
0:33:29 > 0:33:31You've spelt that out to the patient?
0:33:31 > 0:33:34Mia is completely aware of the and wants to proceed regardless.
0:33:34 > 0:33:35Good. Leave us, please.
0:33:40 > 0:33:43Do you not recognise a bit of yourself in her today?
0:33:43 > 0:33:44Because I certainly do.
0:33:44 > 0:33:47Do you remember that registrar who was willing to
0:33:47 > 0:33:49take on the world no matter what?
0:33:50 > 0:33:54There's so many more hurdles to jump than simply being a match.
0:33:54 > 0:33:59OK, it's scans and medicals and physiological
0:33:59 > 0:34:01and psychological assessments.
0:34:02 > 0:34:04And it was just easier to tell them that...
0:34:04 > 0:34:07That you didn't fit the criteria rather than face all
0:34:07 > 0:34:10the endless questioning.
0:34:10 > 0:34:12They told me that he would still have a good chance
0:34:12 > 0:34:16with a cadaveric organ and that if I had any doubts at all then
0:34:16 > 0:34:18I shouldn't go through with it.
0:34:25 > 0:34:27How far along did you get?
0:34:28 > 0:34:31I... I was just waiting for my interview with
0:34:31 > 0:34:36the IA by the Human Tissue Authority when I backed out.
0:34:40 > 0:34:42We all got tested, even you.
0:34:42 > 0:34:45Any one of us would have seen it through given half the chance.
0:34:45 > 0:34:47Yeah, but do you honestly know that to be true
0:34:47 > 0:34:50if none of us even got past the first hurdle?
0:34:50 > 0:34:53Did you not feel a hint of relief when they told you
0:34:53 > 0:34:55you weren't a match?
0:34:55 > 0:34:56Arthur, you're really not helping.
0:34:56 > 0:34:59I'm just trying to make sense of it for you.
0:34:59 > 0:35:02And AJ, he must have been under a huge amount of peer pressure.
0:35:02 > 0:35:06This is just another in a long legacy of AJ's selfish acts
0:35:06 > 0:35:08and failures!
0:35:08 > 0:35:10My Dad's always overindulged him,
0:35:10 > 0:35:12- cut him slack when we got absolutely nothing.- OK. OK.
0:35:12 > 0:35:15I just don't think now is a time for a sibling rivalry.
0:35:15 > 0:35:17I will never forgive him for this, Arthur!
0:35:21 > 0:35:23You felt sorry for him?
0:35:23 > 0:35:26Well, it's a bit of a grim existence, his line of work.
0:35:26 > 0:35:29He seems to get something out of it, though.
0:35:29 > 0:35:31I think he's essentially lonely.
0:35:31 > 0:35:36Aren't we all? Right, normal service appears to be resumed.
0:35:36 > 0:35:37Save the tendon and you'll have him
0:35:37 > 0:35:40back ruining people's lives in no time.
0:35:43 > 0:35:46- I like your tactics, by the way. - I'm sorry?
0:35:46 > 0:35:50Butter him up, get him on side, find out what Marcus is plotting.
0:35:50 > 0:35:52Oh, trust me, I'm not that devious.
0:35:52 > 0:35:55I just want to get it over with and move on.
0:35:55 > 0:35:57See if you're still saying that when the court gets involved.
0:35:57 > 0:35:58Don't be bitter.
0:35:58 > 0:36:01I'm sure you're very happy for Edward and his new spouse?
0:36:01 > 0:36:06Ecstatic. Hopefully she'll bleed him dry and leave him an empty husk.
0:36:06 > 0:36:09- You don't mean that.- What can I say? I have a passion for bearing
0:36:09 > 0:36:12lifelong-take-it-to-the-grave grudges.
0:36:12 > 0:36:15Don't look at me like that, every girl needs a hobby.
0:36:17 > 0:36:19Yes, I know that.
0:36:19 > 0:36:21But he's come forward now, so what's the problem?!
0:36:21 > 0:36:24I don't mean to sound callous, but I'm not at liberty to discuss
0:36:24 > 0:36:27- it with you, only AJ. - Right! Tell her!
0:36:31 > 0:36:33I want to go through with it.
0:36:33 > 0:36:35OK, but your Living Donor Coordinator may want you
0:36:35 > 0:36:39reassessed, given your previous issues with the donation process.
0:36:39 > 0:36:40But he's good to go now.
0:36:40 > 0:36:42Morven, this simply isn't your call.
0:36:42 > 0:36:44Look, you have to stop this.
0:36:44 > 0:36:46You have got to be kidding me!
0:36:50 > 0:36:53I will never forgive you if anything happens to him.
0:36:53 > 0:36:56OK, you can't bully him into donating!
0:36:56 > 0:36:58Can we just... Can we at least start the process with
0:36:58 > 0:37:01the Living Donor Coordinator, please?
0:37:02 > 0:37:03You're sure?
0:37:07 > 0:37:10AJ, just don't beat yourself up over this.
0:37:10 > 0:37:12Being a live donor is never a done deal.
0:37:12 > 0:37:15And there were a lot of factors you had to consider before you
0:37:15 > 0:37:17- made your choice.- Like what?
0:37:22 > 0:37:24That's really not for me to say.
0:37:32 > 0:37:34So I just need you to sign the consent forms.
0:37:35 > 0:37:38Absolving you of all responsibility?
0:37:38 > 0:37:40Yeah, that's the one. Just put your mark there.
0:37:45 > 0:37:50So how many kids have you fostered over the years?
0:37:50 > 0:37:5247 and counting!
0:37:52 > 0:37:54Some for years, some for just a few days.
0:37:54 > 0:37:57Do you consider yourself a mother to them?
0:37:57 > 0:38:01Friend, confidante, a shoulder to cry on,
0:38:01 > 0:38:04a person to giggle with, but never mum.
0:38:04 > 0:38:05That's the trick to it.
0:38:05 > 0:38:07You don't get emotionally attached?
0:38:07 > 0:38:10Course I do, love them all to bits.
0:38:10 > 0:38:12Even Georgie, he's doing a three stretch
0:38:12 > 0:38:13but his heart's in the right place.
0:38:13 > 0:38:15Just a pity his brain isn't at times!
0:38:16 > 0:38:20Doctor March, Jac's scrubbing in. She wants you to observe.
0:38:20 > 0:38:22See you in theatre.
0:38:24 > 0:38:28That young doctor's pulled out all the stops for me today, hasn't she?
0:38:28 > 0:38:32Well, she certainly did a number on our glorious leader to convince her.
0:38:32 > 0:38:35You're sure you don't want me to get the clan in?
0:38:35 > 0:38:37Maybe just the favourites?
0:38:37 > 0:38:40Nobody outside this hospital knows how sick I am.
0:38:40 > 0:38:42Is that selfish of me?
0:38:42 > 0:38:44What if I never see any of them again?
0:38:44 > 0:38:47They'll be furious but what will you care?
0:38:47 > 0:38:49I've written a round robin that's with my will,
0:38:49 > 0:38:51mentions all of them.
0:38:51 > 0:38:54I really do want to see Scarborough again, you know.
0:38:54 > 0:38:58Well, it's my job to make sure you get there.
0:38:58 > 0:39:00I'll let Ms Naylor know you're ready for theatre.
0:39:00 > 0:39:03Just one more thing, before you go.
0:39:03 > 0:39:06For her, you know. If the worst happens.
0:39:14 > 0:39:16So what's the verdict?
0:39:16 > 0:39:18Well, we repaired the tendon damage
0:39:18 > 0:39:20and restored blood supply to the arm.
0:39:20 > 0:39:22Mind, he'll need some physio-terrorism
0:39:22 > 0:39:24if he wants to arm wrestle again.
0:39:24 > 0:39:26He did really help me out, you know.
0:39:26 > 0:39:29Is that your way of telling me to be nice to him?
0:39:29 > 0:39:32No, but my head was well and truly buried in the sand till
0:39:32 > 0:39:34he turned up.
0:39:34 > 0:39:35Things OK now?
0:39:35 > 0:39:38Well, me and my four kids, we live with Mr Di Lucca.
0:39:38 > 0:39:40He took us in, saved us from the work house.
0:39:40 > 0:39:43And she's been great about the whole lot as well.
0:39:43 > 0:39:45A lot of nice people around here.
0:39:45 > 0:39:46What about your partner?
0:39:46 > 0:39:48Er, she died. I couldn't cope.
0:39:48 > 0:39:51It all got a bit on top but, yeah, that was that.
0:39:52 > 0:39:55Oh, I'm so sorry.
0:39:55 > 0:39:59No, listen, what about your fella? How do you see that panning out?
0:40:00 > 0:40:05The good ship matrimony is well and truly holed below the water line
0:40:05 > 0:40:10and going down fast. You dating?
0:40:10 > 0:40:13I don't think I'm ready for all of that just yet.
0:40:13 > 0:40:17- But, er, single.- Snap.- Snap. - Full house.
0:40:17 > 0:40:20Looks like AAU is a sex-free zone.
0:40:20 > 0:40:24Ah, yes, we prefer to live like nuns down here, keeps you sharp.
0:40:24 > 0:40:28I had to serve a nun with papers once.
0:40:28 > 0:40:30She had a terrible online bingo habit.
0:40:31 > 0:40:33Really?
0:40:34 > 0:40:36You're so easy to wind up.
0:40:42 > 0:40:47I could lose everything today. My dad, my whole family.
0:40:47 > 0:40:50I've never seen Morven so angry.
0:40:50 > 0:40:53She'll come round, just give her time.
0:40:54 > 0:40:58There's only one way I can put this right.
0:40:58 > 0:41:00Well, there's still a chance a cadaveric organ could become
0:41:00 > 0:41:03- available.- Do you think that's going to happen?
0:41:04 > 0:41:06I need to talk to my dad.
0:41:07 > 0:41:11He needs to understand what they were asking of me.
0:41:11 > 0:41:13OK, I wanted to go through with it, I did...
0:41:16 > 0:41:18I know what you're thinking.
0:41:19 > 0:41:22Spoilt rich kid just waiting for the trust fund to kick in?
0:41:23 > 0:41:26Not pulling his finger out for the old man.
0:41:26 > 0:41:28- That's not the case. - Selfish.
0:41:28 > 0:41:29I'm not here to judge you.
0:41:30 > 0:41:34You have no idea how messed up this has been for me.
0:41:34 > 0:41:37The Living Donor Coordinator said this decision was to be mine
0:41:37 > 0:41:40and mine alone and that no-one should cloud it.
0:41:40 > 0:41:42Well, then tell them that.
0:41:42 > 0:41:45None of us can understand the enormity of what's been
0:41:45 > 0:41:46asked of you.
0:41:46 > 0:41:49Oh, come on, if Morven had been a match she'd have cut out her
0:41:49 > 0:41:51own liver lobe with a blunt spoon.
0:41:53 > 0:41:57But can you not see that is exactly where her anger is coming from?
0:41:57 > 0:41:59Because she couldn't help him.
0:42:04 > 0:42:07What would you have said if she had been a match?
0:42:09 > 0:42:12Would you be happy for her to go under the knife?
0:42:12 > 0:42:13To risk her life?
0:42:16 > 0:42:20Trust me, you have no idea how you're going to react
0:42:20 > 0:42:24until you're there, until it's right on top of you.
0:42:27 > 0:42:29Right, there's the tumour. Ready for laser.
0:42:29 > 0:42:33Thought you'd at least want to meet your patient before the operation?
0:42:33 > 0:42:36I would have done if I hadn't had to spend the whole afternoon
0:42:36 > 0:42:39convincing Hanssen and the board that this was viable.
0:42:39 > 0:42:41We nearly didn't get here.
0:42:41 > 0:42:45Besides, I didn't want to steal Zosia's thunder.
0:42:45 > 0:42:48- There's a bleed.- Suction.
0:42:48 > 0:42:51There's a lot of blood vessels going into the tumour.
0:42:51 > 0:42:52Jet ventilation, please.
0:42:54 > 0:42:56Ventilation's not working.
0:42:56 > 0:42:57She's drowning!
0:42:57 > 0:42:58OK, let's put her on ECMO.
0:42:58 > 0:43:00We need to increase her oxygen levels.
0:43:00 > 0:43:03She's gone into VF.
0:43:03 > 0:43:05Charging to 150.
0:43:07 > 0:43:09Oxygen away. Clear.
0:43:12 > 0:43:16Charging to 200. Clear.
0:43:18 > 0:43:19She's back in sinus.
0:43:19 > 0:43:22Good, let's get a small endotracheal tube in there stopping all
0:43:22 > 0:43:23blood from getting into the lungs.
0:43:23 > 0:43:26- You can't take any more of that tumour away.- Agreed.
0:43:26 > 0:43:28Pretty much making all this a waste of time.
0:43:30 > 0:43:31Inflating the cuff.
0:43:34 > 0:43:37Looks like the bleed's stopped, circulation is good.
0:43:37 > 0:43:41We need to stop this and go to plan A.
0:43:41 > 0:43:44The tracheal stent can still extend her life,
0:43:44 > 0:43:47make her breathing more comfortable. We proceed.
0:43:49 > 0:43:52Arthur, look, I told you, I don't want to speak to him.
0:43:52 > 0:43:55You don't have to talk to him, you just have to listen.
0:43:56 > 0:43:58- No!- Morven!
0:43:58 > 0:44:02Right, I'm really not liking this stubborn streak that I'm seeing.
0:44:02 > 0:44:04Please just... Just do it for me.
0:44:04 > 0:44:07If you still feel the same way after you've heard him out,
0:44:07 > 0:44:09you can give him both barrels with my blessing.
0:44:14 > 0:44:17Tell her. Tell her what you just told me.
0:44:21 > 0:44:23You're going to be an auntie.
0:44:24 > 0:44:27What, and you knew about this?
0:44:27 > 0:44:28I had no idea.
0:44:32 > 0:44:33Stephanie?
0:44:34 > 0:44:37An albeit unexpected addition to the clan.
0:44:40 > 0:44:46This... This is why you stopped the donation process?
0:44:46 > 0:44:50I had a long conversation with the Living Donor Coordinator,
0:44:50 > 0:44:54and well, yeah, in the end I decided best not to tell you.
0:44:54 > 0:44:57Because I couldn't deal with all the repercussions.
0:44:57 > 0:45:00AJ's got others to think about now.
0:45:02 > 0:45:05You do know what's happening here, don't you?
0:45:07 > 0:45:09He's your only chance.
0:45:09 > 0:45:12If you still bear him malice, then know this.
0:45:12 > 0:45:16I'd never let any of you risk your lives just to save mine.
0:45:20 > 0:45:21Congratulations.
0:45:24 > 0:45:30But with all due respect, Dad, this doesn't help you in the slightest.
0:45:30 > 0:45:33I just want you to be happy for him.
0:45:33 > 0:45:35You're going to need each other now.
0:45:35 > 0:45:38How can you just lie here and accept this?
0:45:38 > 0:45:41Because I know you're the strong one.
0:45:41 > 0:45:44You'll get the boys through this no matter what happens next.
0:45:44 > 0:45:46I'm sorry to interrupt but this can't wait.
0:45:46 > 0:45:48There's been some medical complications with
0:45:48 > 0:45:50the patient from St James.
0:45:50 > 0:45:52The offer of the organ is now firmly back with us
0:45:52 > 0:45:54and it's being biked over right now.
0:45:56 > 0:45:58Morven!
0:46:02 > 0:46:05Does this mean I might get to meet my grandchild?
0:46:05 > 0:46:08There is a distinct possibility that we'll have you changing nappies,
0:46:08 > 0:46:09Mr Shreve.
0:46:09 > 0:46:12The organ's been checked and initial descriptions sound promising.
0:46:12 > 0:46:15So you'll have to excuse me while I need to find you
0:46:15 > 0:46:16an emergency theatre slot.
0:46:16 > 0:46:18OK, let's get you prepped.
0:46:20 > 0:46:22If I don't make it through this,
0:46:22 > 0:46:26promise me, you'll bring them two back together.
0:46:30 > 0:46:32She should have come round by now.
0:46:32 > 0:46:34Pupils aren't dilating properly.
0:46:36 > 0:46:39You think there's a neurological deficit?
0:46:41 > 0:46:44Let's order an EEG and a CT head scan.
0:46:44 > 0:46:47It might be time to call in the family.
0:46:47 > 0:46:49Sure.
0:46:49 > 0:46:51I can't have you feeling responsible for this.
0:46:51 > 0:46:53It's easy for you to say.
0:46:54 > 0:46:56If it's any consolation,
0:46:56 > 0:46:59the new stent worked perfectly despite the complication.
0:47:01 > 0:47:05When you're ready, I'd like you to write a report for the board.
0:47:24 > 0:47:28Look, I'm really, really sorry.
0:47:28 > 0:47:32You don't have to apologise to me. Have you spoken to your brother?
0:47:32 > 0:47:36Yeah. I've let my rage get the better of me today.
0:47:38 > 0:47:40I've put things into perspective now.
0:47:41 > 0:47:44OK, for the record, I'm not sure I would have been
0:47:44 > 0:47:47happy for you to come forward if you'd been a match.
0:47:47 > 0:47:49You know that wouldn't have stopped me. It's my choice
0:47:49 > 0:47:53and I would have expected you to respect that decision.
0:47:53 > 0:47:54Like you respected AJ's?
0:47:58 > 0:48:01Well, I think every couple has their first domestic at some point
0:48:01 > 0:48:04don't they, so...
0:48:04 > 0:48:07- So we're good?- We were never bad.
0:48:11 > 0:48:14Right, I better get ready. Austin's going to be in theatre soon.
0:48:14 > 0:48:20Arthur? Listen, neither of us should be carrying the other.
0:48:21 > 0:48:24We're a partnership, a team.
0:48:24 > 0:48:26So that's why I'm asking you to not go into theatre.
0:48:28 > 0:48:31You've done more than enough for my family today.
0:48:32 > 0:48:34Is this still my decision?
0:48:36 > 0:48:40It always will be but I want you to listen to reason.
0:48:40 > 0:48:44You've gone over and above today. It's time to look after yourself.
0:48:44 > 0:48:47Arthur, please. Go home.
0:48:50 > 0:48:52I'm going to go in.
0:48:52 > 0:48:53Arthur.
0:48:53 > 0:48:57It's my choice and I'd like you to respect my decision.
0:49:04 > 0:49:07I really think you're needed here right now.
0:49:12 > 0:49:14Physio will be in touch about a rehab regime.
0:49:14 > 0:49:16Once you have some mobility back in your arm
0:49:16 > 0:49:18we can think about a skin graft.
0:49:18 > 0:49:21Make it look a little less like dog food.
0:49:21 > 0:49:24Let's hope Flynn thinks so.
0:49:24 > 0:49:27Thank you for everything you've done.
0:49:27 > 0:49:29Here, I've got something for you.
0:49:31 > 0:49:32They'll sort you out.
0:49:32 > 0:49:37And my number's on the back if you feel the need for any other advice.
0:49:37 > 0:49:40- Thanks Tony, but I'm sure I'll be fine.- Everybody says that.
0:49:41 > 0:49:44Then they're stuck in front of the telly with a meal-for-one
0:49:44 > 0:49:49and that second bottle of vino collapso is their only friend.
0:49:49 > 0:49:51Slippery slope if you're not on top of things.
0:49:53 > 0:49:55Believe me, I know from experience.
0:49:55 > 0:49:59Sometimes it's better to talk things out than to reach for the corkscrew.
0:49:59 > 0:50:03You don't need a corkscrew if you're drinking straight from the box.
0:50:03 > 0:50:06Still wearing your wedding ring.
0:50:06 > 0:50:09You sure this isn't just a lover's tiff gone pear-shaped?
0:50:09 > 0:50:10You getting Freudian on me?
0:50:10 > 0:50:12People make mistakes in the heat of the moment.
0:50:12 > 0:50:14Say things they don't really mean.
0:50:14 > 0:50:17Trust me, Tony, this has been coming on a long time.
0:50:17 > 0:50:19I think I know where my head is.
0:50:19 > 0:50:21That's not what your face is saying.
0:50:22 > 0:50:23Yeah...
0:50:25 > 0:50:28Just feels a little strange right now.
0:50:28 > 0:50:30Everything you took for granted, gone overnight.
0:50:30 > 0:50:35Bit scary, but I'm sure I'll manage.
0:50:35 > 0:50:38Reckon you will. Strong minded girl, I can tell.
0:50:38 > 0:50:41- Ah, thanks, Tony. - See you around.
0:50:43 > 0:50:45Not if I see you first!
0:50:53 > 0:50:57She asked me to give you this in case anything went wrong.
0:50:58 > 0:51:02Knowing Mia, it's probably a smile and some kind words for you.
0:51:04 > 0:51:06I'm really sorry, Mo.
0:51:06 > 0:51:09I should have listened to you.
0:51:09 > 0:51:12I just couldn't stand by and do nothing.
0:51:14 > 0:51:17For her sake or yours?
0:51:33 > 0:51:35Mia, can you hear me?
0:51:35 > 0:51:37Of course I can.
0:51:38 > 0:51:42Everything's a bit blurry, though.
0:51:42 > 0:51:43Mo!
0:51:46 > 0:51:48Squeeze my hand?
0:51:48 > 0:51:50Lift your knee up.
0:51:50 > 0:51:54What is this, an aerobics class? Why can't I see properly?
0:51:54 > 0:51:55Give it time, sweetheart.
0:51:55 > 0:51:58It's worked, hasn't it? I can breathe!
0:52:03 > 0:52:05Mia, you all right? She's gone into VF.
0:52:05 > 0:52:08Charging to 150.
0:52:08 > 0:52:09Clear.
0:52:11 > 0:52:14Charging again at 150.
0:52:15 > 0:52:18- Clear.- Call it.
0:52:18 > 0:52:19We're not going to try.
0:52:22 > 0:52:23Charge to 200.
0:52:28 > 0:52:30Charging at 200. Clear.
0:52:34 > 0:52:37Both pupils are fixed and dilated. I said call it.
0:52:38 > 0:52:40Time of death 9.03pm.
0:52:41 > 0:52:45Her scan results show that she had a massive stroke in surgery.
0:52:46 > 0:52:47This was inevitable.
0:52:49 > 0:52:52I'm sorry, Zosia, I know how much this meant to you.
0:52:55 > 0:52:56I'll take care of her.
0:53:01 > 0:53:05Yeah, yeah. I'll let you know as soon as he comes out of theatre.
0:53:05 > 0:53:08Yeah, it should be any time soon. OK, then.
0:53:09 > 0:53:11Catch you later. Bye.
0:53:13 > 0:53:15Who was that?
0:53:15 > 0:53:18Auntie Karen again? Wait till she hears about the baby.
0:53:20 > 0:53:25Yes, and how did this momentous occasion happen?
0:53:26 > 0:53:28You're the doctor, you tell me.
0:53:30 > 0:53:33You've only known her for three months.
0:53:33 > 0:53:35Yeah. How long you known this muppet?
0:53:35 > 0:53:36Still in the room.
0:53:37 > 0:53:41You're head over heels but you can't be happy for me?
0:53:41 > 0:53:45So are you going to make an honest woman of her?
0:53:45 > 0:53:50Of course. I'm thinking Big Fat Gypsy Wedding style!
0:53:50 > 0:53:51Very classy.
0:53:55 > 0:53:58Go on, then, just give it to us? No sugar coating.
0:54:01 > 0:54:05It's all good. There were no complications during surgery.
0:54:05 > 0:54:07It was a big success!
0:54:07 > 0:54:09Thank you. Thank you.
0:54:09 > 0:54:11They're taking him to recovery soon.
0:54:32 > 0:54:34So you actually had the guts to open it?
0:54:36 > 0:54:39You ever had one of these?
0:54:39 > 0:54:42Yeah, few years ago. It's in a drawer at home somewhere.
0:54:42 > 0:54:45I wear far too much mascara for that kind of thing.
0:54:48 > 0:54:51Mia's gone and there's nothing more that we can do for her.
0:54:51 > 0:54:53But Jac's new toy is proven that it works.
0:54:53 > 0:54:57Who knows how many people it will buy precious time for.
0:54:58 > 0:55:01So chin up, yeah? Good girl.
0:55:04 > 0:55:06I meant to ask this morning. How's Diggers?
0:55:08 > 0:55:10He's OK...
0:55:11 > 0:55:12..as far as I know.
0:55:14 > 0:55:16Give him my love, yeah?
0:55:43 > 0:55:47Oh, brilliant. My ex.
0:55:47 > 0:55:50Nothing but grief from him all day, now he wants to talk things through.
0:55:50 > 0:55:52Must have hit the whisky.
0:55:52 > 0:55:55Edward used to get all maudlin and call me at 4am,
0:55:55 > 0:55:57play REO Speedwagon down the phone.
0:55:57 > 0:56:01Well, there's nothing to talk about. This is my doing, not Marcus'.
0:56:02 > 0:56:03He can have what he wants.
0:56:03 > 0:56:05He still wants you, by the sound of things.
0:56:05 > 0:56:07Do you mind if I join you?
0:56:07 > 0:56:10We're not talking footy if that's what you're after.
0:56:10 > 0:56:11Welcome to club screw-up!
0:56:13 > 0:56:16Oh, er, you might want to get rid of that card.
0:56:16 > 0:56:17Why?
0:56:17 > 0:56:19It's Tony's unique pulling technique.
0:56:19 > 0:56:22He preys on fragile divorcees.
0:56:22 > 0:56:25Catches you at your lowest ebb. Works a treat, apparently.
0:56:25 > 0:56:28Well it's good to know you can still turn a head, I suppose.
0:56:33 > 0:56:35Earth to Diggers? Can you hear me?
0:56:35 > 0:56:39Shh, Dominic, let him sleep.
0:56:47 > 0:56:50Dom, you'll always be a better doctor than I am.
0:56:52 > 0:56:55- Leave him!- What? Sacha doesn't let me do it to the patients.
0:56:57 > 0:56:59Go on, make yourself scarce!
0:56:59 > 0:57:04- Why? You planning on taking advantage?- Dominic!- Oh, look...
0:57:04 > 0:57:06OK, well at least I'll get some sleep tonight.
0:57:06 > 0:57:08Keep him here as long as you can.
0:57:19 > 0:57:22What's that Bonaparte saying you're always quoting?
0:57:23 > 0:57:29If you're afraid and still go forward, then you are truly brave.
