0:00:02 > 0:00:03He felt nauseous. I couldn't get hold of you.
0:00:03 > 0:00:06I could have done without losing a day's wages, thanks.
0:00:06 > 0:00:09Just the small matter of the vice-CEO post remaining unfilled.
0:00:09 > 0:00:11Been there, done that, got the T-shirt.
0:00:11 > 0:00:13Think of the influence you could have.
0:00:13 > 0:00:16If you'd care to apply, I'd be happy to back you to the hilt.
0:00:16 > 0:00:19- Ethan, have you talked to anyone here about the group? - Of course not. You know the rules.
0:00:19 > 0:00:22Your landlord turfing you out onto the streets?
0:00:22 > 0:00:24- I feel like we're cramping his style.- Raf has style?
0:00:24 > 0:00:27He could have a very nice bachelor pad, but instead he's got nits and nappies.
0:00:27 > 0:00:30I spoke to my husband. You remember Tristan?
0:00:30 > 0:00:33He told me to tell you, whatever you wanted, it's yours.
0:01:15 > 0:01:17Would you believe the ego of the man?
0:01:17 > 0:01:19Oh, I don't know. You've never fancied writing your own book?
0:01:19 > 0:01:22I don't think my life's that interesting that I need
0:01:22 > 0:01:23to thrust it upon others.
0:01:23 > 0:01:27Well, that's not what I heard... Hopeless romantic, lost the love of his life,
0:01:27 > 0:01:29travelled around the world to fight his demons -
0:01:29 > 0:01:31- there's a Mills and Boon in there, surely?- Hmm...
0:01:31 > 0:01:33What would your title be?
0:01:33 > 0:01:34Boomerang Boy?
0:01:34 > 0:01:37I have lost count of the number of lives I have affected,
0:01:37 > 0:01:39I would hope mostly to the good.
0:01:39 > 0:01:41I think you're supposed to make a donation.
0:01:41 > 0:01:43Oh, I'm borrowing, not buying.
0:01:43 > 0:01:45Hope he hasn't mentioned me.
0:01:45 > 0:01:47Ah. Now whose ego needs stroking?
0:01:47 > 0:01:48I can't... Can't breathe...
0:01:48 > 0:01:51OK, just try and keep calm. Long deep breaths.
0:01:51 > 0:01:52Can you do that for me?
0:01:52 > 0:01:56OK, Valerie Sturgeon, can you get her fully admitted for me, please, Jasmine?
0:01:56 > 0:01:57Let's get you sorted, Valerie.
0:01:57 > 0:01:59What happened to her?
0:01:59 > 0:02:01Felt faint whilst bungee jumping.
0:02:01 > 0:02:03Oh, don't tell me it's going to be that kind of day.
0:02:03 > 0:02:06Collapsed at a care home - chest pains and breathless.
0:02:06 > 0:02:08You...
0:02:08 > 0:02:13Oh. I do hope Pater has been kind to me.
0:02:13 > 0:02:15You think you'll get a mention?
0:02:19 > 0:02:23Raf. You know it's Mikey's birthday coming up soon?
0:02:23 > 0:02:25Have you seen the price of these things?
0:02:25 > 0:02:28Stick an engine on the bottom of a skateboard, he'll go like a rocket!
0:02:28 > 0:02:30You're not helping.
0:02:30 > 0:02:32Well, he hasn't broken anything for a couple of days,
0:02:32 > 0:02:33so you should be quids in.
0:02:33 > 0:02:36He's doing his best. Give him a break.
0:02:36 > 0:02:37Over there.
0:02:37 > 0:02:39Who you got baby-sitting today?
0:02:39 > 0:02:42Mikey and Ella are at summer school and Theo's in nursery.
0:02:42 > 0:02:44- What about Evie? - She threw up this morning.
0:02:44 > 0:02:46- You left her at home alone? - Well, what am I going to do?
0:02:46 > 0:02:49Look, Diane from next door's keeping an eye on her, she'll be fine.
0:02:49 > 0:02:51So, what we got, Bradley Wiggins?
0:02:51 > 0:02:53Kid stepped out in front of me -
0:02:53 > 0:02:55crown jewels got acquainted with the handle bars.
0:02:55 > 0:02:58Next thing I know it's road, sky, road, sky...
0:02:58 > 0:03:00Well, let's get you cut out of that Lycra.
0:03:00 > 0:03:02Wait, wait, wait...
0:03:02 > 0:03:04Is this the point where I need to tell you
0:03:04 > 0:03:07that I'm wearing ladies underwear?
0:03:07 > 0:03:09Ha, ha, had you there.
0:03:09 > 0:03:11Do the honours, Fletch.
0:03:26 > 0:03:28Ah, the man of the moment.
0:03:28 > 0:03:31I rather think that particular honour falls to you.
0:03:31 > 0:03:33Oh, this is really not important today.
0:03:33 > 0:03:34Don't be so modest, Guy.
0:03:34 > 0:03:37A fantastic occasion for you and the hospital.
0:03:37 > 0:03:41The Trust are lucky to have someone of your standing and calibre amongst its ranks.
0:03:41 > 0:03:45May I introduce Tristan Wood, Patsy Brassvine's husband...
0:03:45 > 0:03:48A welcome addition to the Board and a huge supporter of this hospital.
0:03:48 > 0:03:51Tristan has arranged for me to give a rallying speech
0:03:51 > 0:03:53to potential investors this afternoon.
0:03:53 > 0:03:56I've heard good things about you, Mr Griffin.
0:03:56 > 0:03:59A potential Deputy CEO if ever I did see one.
0:03:59 > 0:04:02Well, let's get through the interview stage first, shall we?
0:04:02 > 0:04:04You wouldn't have even been asked to interview
0:04:04 > 0:04:06if we didn't consider you A-list.
0:04:06 > 0:04:09That said, I do like to be thorough, make my own opinions of people.
0:04:09 > 0:04:11- PHONE BUZZES - Well, that's a very wise strategy.
0:04:11 > 0:04:14Excuse me, I have to be elsewhere.
0:04:14 > 0:04:16Saving lives, Guy?
0:04:16 > 0:04:18No, problem with the presentation catering.
0:04:18 > 0:04:19Far more important then.
0:04:22 > 0:04:24Guy tells me you're a good man
0:04:24 > 0:04:27with the hospital's best interests at heart?
0:04:27 > 0:04:28I like to think so.
0:04:28 > 0:04:32An experienced surgeon, a good forward-thinking mentor...
0:04:32 > 0:04:33That's the word on the street.
0:04:33 > 0:04:36- There's a street? - And you're walking down it, Ric.
0:04:36 > 0:04:39No, striding.
0:04:39 > 0:04:42And that self-assurance doesn't come easy, a man has to earn it,
0:04:42 > 0:04:45a man any Trust would be proud to number amongst its ranks.
0:04:45 > 0:04:48Please, you're too kind.
0:04:55 > 0:04:59I was just deciding whether to have a French Fancy or not.
0:04:59 > 0:05:01The next thing I know, I'm on the floor.
0:05:01 > 0:05:02Chocolate or lemon?
0:05:02 > 0:05:05Oh, it has to be lemon. They're my favourite.
0:05:05 > 0:05:08Mine too. Don't know why they bother with the strawberry ones.
0:05:08 > 0:05:10Valerie, your blood pressure's a little low -
0:05:10 > 0:05:12I think that's probably why you fainted.
0:05:12 > 0:05:14ECG, FBC, U&Es please, Zosia.
0:05:14 > 0:05:16Let's get a defib monitor just to be on the safe side,
0:05:16 > 0:05:20and let's stabilise her BP, 200mg of amiodarone, IV.
0:05:21 > 0:05:24Not going to stick needles in me, are you?
0:05:24 > 0:05:26Just the one, but I'll make it quick.
0:05:29 > 0:05:33Ouch. So this is the area that took most of the brunt.
0:05:33 > 0:05:35I've been riding to work for 20 years without so much as a scratch.
0:05:35 > 0:05:39Until now. FBC, U&Es and an ultrasound please.
0:05:39 > 0:05:42Meant to be going on a cycling holiday in two weeks,
0:05:42 > 0:05:43Tour De France circuit.
0:05:43 > 0:05:46Job can get a bit stressing, you know. The exercise helps.
0:05:46 > 0:05:48So what do you do?
0:05:48 > 0:05:51Are you like a VAT inspector or like a traffic warden?
0:05:51 > 0:05:54Work with some proper little darlings, you know what I mean?
0:05:54 > 0:05:55Love them to bits but...
0:05:55 > 0:05:57Well, your stomach is very distended, Gary,
0:05:57 > 0:06:00and we need to make sure you don't have any internal injuries,
0:06:00 > 0:06:03but your ultrasound and your blood test should tell us more.
0:06:05 > 0:06:07Ladies and gentlemen,
0:06:07 > 0:06:09if you want to make a difference to your own lives, if you want
0:06:09 > 0:06:12to make a difference to your children's lives, then find it
0:06:12 > 0:06:17in your hearts and minds to invest in the future today...
0:06:17 > 0:06:20SHE CLAPS
0:06:20 > 0:06:21Bravo.
0:06:21 > 0:06:23Enough to bring a tear to a glass eye.
0:06:23 > 0:06:24Praise indeed.
0:06:26 > 0:06:27Sign one for me?
0:06:27 > 0:06:28Yeah.
0:06:30 > 0:06:33I appreciate you asking me to contribute to your memoirs,
0:06:33 > 0:06:35especially with regards to Mum.
0:06:35 > 0:06:37Zosia, these are our memoirs.
0:06:38 > 0:06:41We've been through a lot together, you and me,
0:06:41 > 0:06:45and I have to admit I could have handled some things differently.
0:06:45 > 0:06:47Likewise.
0:06:47 > 0:06:49Hindsight is a wonderful thing I guess.
0:06:49 > 0:06:51Yes, it is.
0:06:51 > 0:06:55If it's any consolation, working on this book with you has been...
0:06:55 > 0:06:58Well, the whole process has been quite cathartic.
0:07:00 > 0:07:03So, this investors event - big day for you?
0:07:03 > 0:07:05Yeah, I've got to seize the opportunity,
0:07:05 > 0:07:07strangle the life out of it.
0:07:07 > 0:07:09Can I have a minute of your time, Guy?
0:07:09 > 0:07:10Oh...
0:07:10 > 0:07:12yes, OK.
0:07:18 > 0:07:2093% attendance confirmed, we're good to go.
0:07:20 > 0:07:22I take it you're all prepared?
0:07:22 > 0:07:24As I'll ever be.
0:07:24 > 0:07:26I need more than that from you today.
0:07:26 > 0:07:27Total belief in what you're doing here.
0:07:27 > 0:07:30There will be only one chance to impress the big hitters.
0:07:30 > 0:07:33Don't worry. You have my absolute commitment.
0:07:33 > 0:07:36Confidence is everything in these situations, Guy.
0:07:36 > 0:07:40Let them buy into the dream and they'll back you to the hilt.
0:07:40 > 0:07:41I know you can do it.
0:07:45 > 0:07:48You'll be pleased to know that your blood tests have come back normal.
0:07:48 > 0:07:51But the tests don't explain why your stomach is distended
0:07:51 > 0:07:53so I'm just going to take a little look if you don't mind.
0:07:53 > 0:07:55This might be a bit cold.
0:07:55 > 0:07:57Not pregnant, am I?
0:07:57 > 0:07:59Why, you been trying long?
0:07:59 > 0:08:00Never married.
0:08:00 > 0:08:03Got a whole extended family with the kids at work -
0:08:03 > 0:08:05give me a hard enough time.
0:08:05 > 0:08:08Right, well, you have some free fluid in your abdomen, Mr Williams.
0:08:08 > 0:08:11You're not showing as anaemic and your blood count and
0:08:11 > 0:08:14haemoglobin levels are both normal, so we know it's not blood in there.
0:08:14 > 0:08:17I'm afraid we are going to have to open you up to try
0:08:17 > 0:08:19and find out where it's coming from.
0:08:19 > 0:08:20Recovery time?
0:08:20 > 0:08:22Four to six weeks,
0:08:22 > 0:08:24with no strenuous exercise for a while after that.
0:08:24 > 0:08:26So, I can kiss Le Tour goodbye?
0:08:26 > 0:08:29There's always next year.
0:08:29 > 0:08:32Zusia, such a pretty name.
0:08:32 > 0:08:34Zosia. Thank you, it's Polish.
0:08:34 > 0:08:36Means wisdom, apparently...
0:08:39 > 0:08:43Is there something going on at the hospital today?
0:08:43 > 0:08:45I think I read something in the paper.
0:08:45 > 0:08:47Yes, we're trying to raise money for the neurosurgery unit.
0:08:47 > 0:08:49Tin rattling?
0:08:49 > 0:08:52Bit more than that. It's a big event.
0:08:52 > 0:08:54The head of Neuro had a book launch and everything.
0:08:54 > 0:08:58Valerie, I can see from your notes that you're up-to-date on your cardiac condition.
0:08:58 > 0:09:03Your ECG shows left atrial enlargement, left axis deviation
0:09:03 > 0:09:05and dilated left ventricle.
0:09:05 > 0:09:07Means nothing to me.
0:09:07 > 0:09:10It just explains your continual breathlessness.
0:09:10 > 0:09:13I can also see that you've been treated at St James
0:09:13 > 0:09:14within the last six months?
0:09:14 > 0:09:16Oh, fobbed off with lots more tablets -
0:09:16 > 0:09:17you can practically hear me rattling.
0:09:17 > 0:09:20Which you haven't been taking, as I can see from the swelling
0:09:20 > 0:09:23- in your legs. - OK, her tests results are back.
0:09:23 > 0:09:26Positive for sugar in urine, uncontrolled hyperglycaemia
0:09:26 > 0:09:29and her potassium is low.
0:09:29 > 0:09:31Ejection fraction was 20 when last checked.
0:09:31 > 0:09:32English, please?
0:09:32 > 0:09:35You have diabetes, which is complicating your heart issue,
0:09:35 > 0:09:36making you feel faint.
0:09:36 > 0:09:39Val, I'd like to run an echocardiogram
0:09:39 > 0:09:41if that's all right with you?
0:09:41 > 0:09:42She's tachy!
0:09:42 > 0:09:45I'm in your capable hands...
0:09:45 > 0:09:47Start chest compressions, she's going into VF.
0:09:47 > 0:09:50Charging at 150.
0:09:50 > 0:09:52Stand clear.
0:09:52 > 0:09:54Shocking.
0:09:54 > 0:09:56No rhythm. OK, charging again.
0:09:56 > 0:09:58200 this time. Stand clear.
0:09:58 > 0:09:59Shocking.
0:10:03 > 0:10:05And we're in sinus. Good work.
0:10:05 > 0:10:09Right, let's get her on her meds. Start her on insulin, sliding scale,
0:10:09 > 0:10:10IV potassium, 10mmol,
0:10:10 > 0:10:13amiodarone, 300mg,
0:10:13 > 0:10:15and an infusion of furosemide please. Thank you.
0:10:18 > 0:10:20Where's Zosia?
0:10:20 > 0:10:23She's just seeing a patient, she'll be right out.
0:10:23 > 0:10:25Who turned out the lights?
0:10:25 > 0:10:28Your heart stopped, Valerie, we had to bring you back.
0:10:28 > 0:10:29God can wait.
0:10:29 > 0:10:31I have unfinished business yet.
0:10:38 > 0:10:39Thought you were looking for Zosia?
0:10:39 > 0:10:41I'll come back later.
0:10:41 > 0:10:44I don't think the current plight of the NHS can be solved
0:10:44 > 0:10:46through private partnership.
0:10:46 > 0:10:49I like to think benefactors like myself play their part.
0:10:49 > 0:10:53Oh, yeah, of course, when it comes to development we'd be lost
0:10:53 > 0:10:54without private investment.
0:10:54 > 0:10:56So what's your point?
0:10:56 > 0:10:58In a word - waste.
0:10:58 > 0:10:59Couldn't agree more.
0:10:59 > 0:11:02Take the issue of repeat prescriptions in general practice
0:11:02 > 0:11:05without checking how much the patient has left.
0:11:05 > 0:11:06That can costs millions.
0:11:06 > 0:11:08So the patient eventually ends up with a cupboard full
0:11:08 > 0:11:09of expensive unused drugs?
0:11:09 > 0:11:11Precisely.
0:11:11 > 0:11:12PAGER BEEPS
0:11:14 > 0:11:16I have to be somewhere.
0:11:16 > 0:11:18I'd really like to hear more of your thoughts.
0:11:18 > 0:11:20I'll see you at the interview.
0:11:20 > 0:11:21How about a drink afterwards?
0:11:21 > 0:11:25I have a feeling we might have something to celebrate...
0:11:31 > 0:11:33Who was the banker?
0:11:33 > 0:11:35That is Tristan Wood,
0:11:35 > 0:11:39Guy Self's new paymaster and the newest member of the Board.
0:11:40 > 0:11:42Tristan?
0:11:42 > 0:11:44Should we be worried?
0:11:44 > 0:11:46Well, as far as you guys are concerned, it's business as usual.
0:11:46 > 0:11:50I am being interviewed for the Deputy CEO job today.
0:11:50 > 0:11:53So, nothing tricky for me today please, I need to keep my head in the game.
0:11:53 > 0:11:57Right, OK. Chris Farsden, elective minor surgery.
0:11:57 > 0:12:00We had a cancellation so we brought him in on short notice.
0:12:06 > 0:12:08Think this is funny?
0:12:08 > 0:12:10I've lost a big payday because of you lot.
0:12:15 > 0:12:19Oh, OK, who's this? She was the ice queen, a beautiful robot,
0:12:19 > 0:12:22emotionless, efficient and effervescent.
0:12:22 > 0:12:23Effervescent?
0:12:23 > 0:12:27Well, I was going to say Jac Naylor, but she's nobody's Alka-Seltzer.
0:12:27 > 0:12:30- OK, let's go random.- OK.
0:12:32 > 0:12:35Our relationship has not always been its best.
0:12:35 > 0:12:39Life-changing loss has taken its toll on both of us.
0:12:39 > 0:12:41OK. Playtime's over I think.
0:12:41 > 0:12:43Back to work, Minion.
0:12:43 > 0:12:46You might like to know he dedicated the book to Anya.
0:12:46 > 0:12:47Who's Anya?
0:12:47 > 0:12:49Guy's wife, Zosia's late mother.
0:12:53 > 0:12:55- Sorry about that. - What, your shameless flirting?
0:12:55 > 0:12:56Oh, don't be ridiculous.
0:12:56 > 0:12:59Cos friends go speed dating together, don't they?
0:12:59 > 0:13:03You ended us. What difference is it to you who I take speed dating?
0:13:03 > 0:13:06Makes no difference to me whatsoever.
0:13:06 > 0:13:07Good.
0:13:07 > 0:13:08Good.
0:13:11 > 0:13:12Where's Valerie?
0:13:12 > 0:13:14Family just discharged her to a private hospital -
0:13:14 > 0:13:17- they're on their way down now. - What?!
0:13:17 > 0:13:19Haven't you just got her back from VF?
0:13:21 > 0:13:23There's the tear in the bladder.
0:13:23 > 0:13:26And a small bleed from the sacral vein.
0:13:26 > 0:13:27I'll deal with the bladder first.
0:13:27 > 0:13:31He's going to need catheterising for a while, post-op.
0:13:31 > 0:13:33So, how's life back on the ranch?
0:13:34 > 0:13:38Endless cycle of Fletch doing loads of overtime and having to
0:13:38 > 0:13:40farm the kids out to whoever can take them.
0:13:40 > 0:13:42I'm sure he's doing his best, Raf.
0:13:42 > 0:13:45What they need is his time, especially Mikey.
0:13:45 > 0:13:48So you end up being Daddy Day Care?
0:13:48 > 0:13:50If only I had time for any of that.
0:13:50 > 0:13:55Serena told me when I started, AAU takes care of their own.
0:13:55 > 0:13:58I think it's time that Fletch learned how to take care of himself.
0:13:59 > 0:14:01I don't care what the family say,
0:14:01 > 0:14:03this woman is in no fit state to transfer.
0:14:04 > 0:14:07Well, if they have a problem they can take it up with me.
0:14:07 > 0:14:10My name? My name is Dr Zosia March.
0:14:13 > 0:14:14Right, I'll get you sorted.
0:14:15 > 0:14:17My son doesn't want me here.
0:14:17 > 0:14:21Well, your son is an idiot. Where is a porter when you need one?
0:14:22 > 0:14:25Don't be too harsh on him, he means well.
0:14:25 > 0:14:29Harsh? How could he even think of having you moved in your condition?
0:14:29 > 0:14:31He hasn't even been in to see you.
0:14:36 > 0:14:38I'll have to let you deal with him, my dear.
0:14:38 > 0:14:41He's going to be very upset about this.
0:14:41 > 0:14:44Don't you worry about that, Valerie.
0:14:44 > 0:14:46Do you have any children, Zosia?
0:14:47 > 0:14:49No, not yet.
0:14:49 > 0:14:51Married to the job, as they say.
0:14:51 > 0:14:53Sisters? Brothers?
0:14:53 > 0:14:56None that I know of. Just me and my dad.
0:14:59 > 0:15:00You a fan?
0:15:00 > 0:15:02Sorry?
0:15:02 > 0:15:04You're reading his book.
0:15:04 > 0:15:07You could say that.
0:15:07 > 0:15:10How do you know him? Former patient?
0:15:10 > 0:15:12You might say we have a little history.
0:15:13 > 0:15:17You were under strict instructions that any treatment was to be carried out at St James.
0:15:17 > 0:15:20- She's heading back if you're still looking.- I pay you a king's ransom -
0:15:20 > 0:15:22the least you can do is carry out my wishes.
0:15:22 > 0:15:24Oh, hello, Guy.
0:15:26 > 0:15:27Long time, no see.
0:15:31 > 0:15:33What ARE you doing here?
0:15:33 > 0:15:37I've just been getting better acquainted with the granddaughter
0:15:37 > 0:15:38who never knew I existed.
0:15:44 > 0:15:45Mr Farsden?
0:15:46 > 0:15:50Mr Farsden, I'm really very sorry about earlier but, erm...
0:15:50 > 0:15:54Well, in fairness it is your job to make people giggle.
0:15:56 > 0:15:59Oh, yeah, laugh it up, why don't you? I've been waiting nine months
0:15:59 > 0:16:02for this op. You think it's all right to give me two hours' notice?
0:16:02 > 0:16:05Well, I suppose that we thought that you would appreciate
0:16:05 > 0:16:07the theatre slot.
0:16:07 > 0:16:10I'm self-employed, freelance.
0:16:10 > 0:16:12No-one pays my bills when I'm not working.
0:16:14 > 0:16:16Job's a nightmare now.
0:16:16 > 0:16:19Back in the day you could make a few balloon animals, tell a couple of jokes.
0:16:19 > 0:16:21Kids these days want it all -
0:16:21 > 0:16:25laser shows, candyfloss machines, bouncy castle.
0:16:25 > 0:16:28Well, we'll get you back on your feet as soon as we possibly can.
0:16:28 > 0:16:31We're hoping to do the procedure laparoscopically -
0:16:31 > 0:16:32far less recovery time.
0:16:32 > 0:16:34Well, no, I can't afford recovery time.
0:16:34 > 0:16:36I'm living day-to-day as it is.
0:16:36 > 0:16:38Gigs aren't coming in,
0:16:38 > 0:16:41the ex-missus cleaning me out on child support.
0:16:41 > 0:16:42I'm very sorry to hear that.
0:16:42 > 0:16:46Yeah, well, I was bumping uglies with her sister,
0:16:46 > 0:16:47but that's another story.
0:16:49 > 0:16:51Don't look at me like that.
0:16:51 > 0:16:55It's not my fault she put on 3st after the kids were born!
0:16:55 > 0:16:57Mr Farsden.
0:16:57 > 0:17:00We could go through the minutiae of your private life
0:17:00 > 0:17:04or we could actually crack on, now that you're finally here.
0:17:09 > 0:17:12Everything tickety-boo?
0:17:12 > 0:17:13You call him "nothing too taxing"?
0:17:13 > 0:17:16Well, I've got a perforated large bowel
0:17:16 > 0:17:19in a schizophrenic patient with suicidal tendencies?
0:17:19 > 0:17:20I'll take the clown.
0:17:32 > 0:17:34You told me she was dead.
0:17:35 > 0:17:38- She is to me.- How could you deny me all those years with her?
0:17:38 > 0:17:42She played no part in my life, I don't see why she should play a part in yours.
0:17:42 > 0:17:44That was not a choice for you to make.
0:17:45 > 0:17:48Look, I have a presentation to prepare.
0:17:48 > 0:17:49PHONE BUZZES
0:17:49 > 0:17:55Really? Are there any other little surprises out there? Maybe I should get a DNA test.
0:17:55 > 0:17:58Obviously a text message is more important right now.
0:17:58 > 0:17:59Sorry. I'm sorry...
0:17:59 > 0:18:01Do you have any idea how sick she is?
0:18:02 > 0:18:06My mother has ischemic cardiomyopathy.
0:18:06 > 0:18:10With the right meds, I'd give her six months and then she's out of my life for good.
0:18:10 > 0:18:11Why are you so cold?
0:18:12 > 0:18:15You have no idea what that woman put me through.
0:18:15 > 0:18:18Well, all I can see is a frail and frightened old lady
0:18:18 > 0:18:20who really needs her family around her right now.
0:18:20 > 0:18:23Excuse me, I have to be elsewhere.
0:18:23 > 0:18:25No, no. I need to know why.
0:18:25 > 0:18:27Believe me, Zosia, you really, really don't.
0:18:30 > 0:18:33As soon as she's stable, I want her transferred to the private unit.
0:18:33 > 0:18:34- Do you understand me?- No.
0:18:34 > 0:18:36No, I'll never understand you.
0:18:36 > 0:18:38Patch her up and ship her out.
0:18:41 > 0:18:44The operation was a success but we'll be keeping you in
0:18:44 > 0:18:47for a few days for observation.
0:18:47 > 0:18:49Could do with a couple of days in bed myself.
0:18:49 > 0:18:51Work, sleep, work, sleep...
0:18:51 > 0:18:53It won't be so bad when my little ones start school.
0:18:53 > 0:18:56Summer holidays are tough, trying to keep to them all occupied.
0:18:56 > 0:18:58Haven't you got a cellar you could lock them in?
0:18:58 > 0:19:00Sadly not.
0:19:00 > 0:19:03Four's stupid - that's like running a small country.
0:19:03 > 0:19:05You could sell one, that'll pay for a nanny?
0:19:05 > 0:19:07Do you know what, I hadn't thought of that.
0:19:07 > 0:19:10Listen, if you're going to make a lunch choice, stick to the sarnies.
0:19:10 > 0:19:12Fletch!
0:19:12 > 0:19:14One minute.
0:19:15 > 0:19:19Right, I want full ATLS protocol, airway secured.
0:19:19 > 0:19:22Do we have enough intravenous access?
0:19:22 > 0:19:24No. Can we get another line in please?
0:19:26 > 0:19:30Evie? Hang on, mate, get off. Evie darling, Daddy's here.
0:19:30 > 0:19:31Get off me, Raf. Let go of me, Raf.
0:19:31 > 0:19:34- Give us a bit of space, OK. - No, mate, that is my little girl.
0:19:34 > 0:19:37You can't be in here, Fletch. Can you take him outside please, Raf?
0:19:37 > 0:19:39Evie, I'm here. Daddy's here.
0:19:39 > 0:19:42This must be a terrible shock for you, but to me it's just
0:19:42 > 0:19:44the most wonderful news.
0:19:44 > 0:19:46Yes, I am a little freaked out right now.
0:19:46 > 0:19:50Well, I can't believe he kept us a secret from each other.
0:19:50 > 0:19:52Never even mentioned me to you?
0:19:54 > 0:19:57All those wasted years.
0:19:57 > 0:20:00If I'd known you existed, I'd have been there like a shot.
0:20:00 > 0:20:03I can't believe he hid you away in a care home.
0:20:03 > 0:20:06Oh, it's a lovely place, it's got its own grounds.
0:20:06 > 0:20:08More a hotel with nurses.
0:20:08 > 0:20:10It's not right, is it?
0:20:10 > 0:20:13Well, the important thing is I can get to know you
0:20:13 > 0:20:15before the Lord finally takes me.
0:20:20 > 0:20:23I actually helped him with a couple of chapters of that.
0:20:23 > 0:20:26I think we've got missing chapters of our own, Zosia.
0:20:26 > 0:20:28We'll have plenty of time for that.
0:20:28 > 0:20:30Let's just get you well again, shall we?
0:20:30 > 0:20:32He isn't all bad to me, you know.
0:20:32 > 0:20:34He's always looked after me financially,
0:20:34 > 0:20:36made sure I want for nothing.
0:20:36 > 0:20:40He might have cut me off from you, but part of him does still care.
0:20:40 > 0:20:44Dr March, as a relative you shouldn't even be treating her.
0:20:44 > 0:20:48We've just been getting to know one another, haven't we, my dear?
0:20:48 > 0:20:50Given that I've only just found out that she exists,
0:20:50 > 0:20:52I am perfectly happy to keep treating her.
0:20:52 > 0:20:56I don't want anyone to know who she is. Do you understand?
0:20:57 > 0:20:59Then here's the deal.
0:20:59 > 0:21:02I think we all know I'm not long for this world.
0:21:02 > 0:21:04I'll keep quiet.
0:21:04 > 0:21:08In return, just give me this time with my granddaughter.
0:21:18 > 0:21:21She was found at the bottom of the stairs by neighbours,
0:21:21 > 0:21:23paramedics intubated her at the scene.
0:21:23 > 0:21:26Her neck X-ray from ED shows a C4 hairline fracture.
0:21:28 > 0:21:29She's broken her neck?
0:21:29 > 0:21:31We don't know that, Fletch.
0:21:31 > 0:21:33I want a full body CT scan.
0:21:33 > 0:21:36Usual bloods. She's relatively stable so let's keep her intubated.
0:21:36 > 0:21:39Right, she's good to go. Nice and gentle.
0:21:50 > 0:21:54Mate, you know we will do all that we can for her.
0:21:56 > 0:21:58Did you get in touch with Ella or Mikey?
0:22:00 > 0:22:02Fletch.
0:22:05 > 0:22:07It's all my fault.
0:22:07 > 0:22:09I should never have left her on her own.
0:22:12 > 0:22:14Valerie's heart condition has gotten considerably worse
0:22:14 > 0:22:16since her last echo.
0:22:16 > 0:22:18Her EF is now 12.
0:22:18 > 0:22:20PHONE BUZZES
0:22:20 > 0:22:23Given her condition, I think it would be prudent to keep her here
0:22:23 > 0:22:24for the foreseeable.
0:22:26 > 0:22:27What is your problem?
0:22:27 > 0:22:28That woman is pure evil.
0:22:28 > 0:22:30You can't just abandon her. She needs you.
0:22:30 > 0:22:32She needs us!
0:22:32 > 0:22:34Why do you hate her so much?!
0:22:34 > 0:22:35- Not now, Zosia.- Guy, there you are.
0:22:35 > 0:22:39You've not been answering my calls. Lord Gainsworth's finally arrived, let's go.
0:22:39 > 0:22:41Yeah, sorry, I got a little distracted.
0:22:41 > 0:22:45Get focused, man, you know how important today is. No excuses, I need you in that boardroom now.
0:22:45 > 0:22:49If you don't tell me what happened between you two, I'm going to find out from her.
0:22:49 > 0:22:51Good luck with that, Zosia, and do yourself a favour...
0:22:51 > 0:22:53Don't believe everything she says.
0:22:55 > 0:22:57BUZZER
0:23:00 > 0:23:03Is everything OK?
0:23:03 > 0:23:06I saw that young girl get brought in. What happened to her?
0:23:06 > 0:23:09Yeah, she...fell down the stairs at home.
0:23:09 > 0:23:10The neighbour found her.
0:23:10 > 0:23:13Right up there with "banged into a table".
0:23:13 > 0:23:16Well, I'm guessing you must see a lot of that working in a school?
0:23:16 > 0:23:18I'm not a teacher, I'm a social worker.
0:23:18 > 0:23:20Have you spoken to her family yet?
0:23:22 > 0:23:23If you think there is a problem...
0:23:23 > 0:23:24PHONE RINGS
0:23:24 > 0:23:27..you need to get safeguarding involved.
0:23:27 > 0:23:29Look, you're going to have to excuse me, sorry.
0:23:31 > 0:23:32Adrian Fletcher.
0:23:32 > 0:23:36My GP told me to start killing people, you know.
0:23:36 > 0:23:40Not in those exact words, but he did say I had to reduce the stress in my life.
0:23:40 > 0:23:43Thought I might try my hand at a bit of stand up.
0:23:43 > 0:23:46Your blood pressure is a little high, Mr Farsden.
0:23:46 > 0:23:50You HAVE been laying off the tobacco and booze as requested?
0:23:50 > 0:23:54George Best once gave up women, fags and alcohol...
0:23:54 > 0:23:57Said it was the worst 20 minutes of his life.
0:23:57 > 0:23:59I'll take that as a "no", then.
0:23:59 > 0:24:02You do realise what's at stake here? The risk to your surgery?
0:24:02 > 0:24:04Come on, Doc, we've all got to live a little.
0:24:05 > 0:24:09For the record, I've been teetotal and fag-free.
0:24:09 > 0:24:11Now, can we just get on with it please?
0:24:11 > 0:24:14Let's give him nitrates orally, see if we can bring his BP down.
0:24:17 > 0:24:21Mr Farsden is significantly hypertensive.
0:24:21 > 0:24:25We risk biliary sepsis if the condition is left to develop.
0:24:25 > 0:24:28Given his latest results, I don't think we can regard this
0:24:28 > 0:24:29as an elective procedure any longer.
0:24:29 > 0:24:31We have a bigger problem.
0:24:31 > 0:24:33Yeah, I've heard his jokes.
0:24:33 > 0:24:35The C-Arm scanner is out of commission -
0:24:35 > 0:24:37broke down in theatre an hour ago.
0:24:37 > 0:24:39Just requisition one from another ward.
0:24:39 > 0:24:41All three are being fully used today, I'm afraid.
0:24:41 > 0:24:43Do you want to know the best part?
0:24:43 > 0:24:45The Trust bought ours outright two months ago.
0:24:45 > 0:24:48But that's old kit, it's been here as long as I have.
0:24:48 > 0:24:51Without the lease, in effect there's no maintenance contract.
0:24:51 > 0:24:54So, it'll be six weeks before it's back in action,
0:24:54 > 0:24:55if it can be fixed at all.
0:24:55 > 0:24:58So, we put patients at risk, but we save money.
0:25:00 > 0:25:02Well, we could perform the procedure the old-fashioned way.
0:25:02 > 0:25:04By using chloroform?
0:25:04 > 0:25:05We could do a full laparotomy?
0:25:05 > 0:25:08No. No. Mr Farsden has made it very clear
0:25:08 > 0:25:10that he can't spare the recovery time.
0:25:10 > 0:25:13Well, we could potentially use still plain X-rays and you
0:25:13 > 0:25:15could do it laparoscopically.
0:25:15 > 0:25:18It's not ideal but it's doable.
0:25:18 > 0:25:20Good. I'll get Dominic to prep him for theatre.
0:25:20 > 0:25:23Meantime, I'm going to crack some heads.
0:25:23 > 0:25:26Where's that 350 million quid a week when you need it...?
0:25:29 > 0:25:34Mate, you need to try and keep it together.
0:25:34 > 0:25:37That's easy for you to say.
0:25:37 > 0:25:40Well, you going to pieces is not going to help Evie.
0:25:46 > 0:25:50It's not a clean break, it's just a fracture.
0:25:50 > 0:25:52Her spinal cord looks intact on the X-rays,
0:25:52 > 0:25:54but we'll know more from the scans.
0:25:54 > 0:25:56But you need to function.
0:25:57 > 0:26:00Have you managed to get a hold of the kids yet?
0:26:02 > 0:26:03Fletch.
0:26:03 > 0:26:07Mikey never made it to summer school today.
0:26:07 > 0:26:10The school just called me back and told me.
0:26:10 > 0:26:13So... Do you think he went back home?
0:26:13 > 0:26:16He's not answering his phone, either.
0:26:23 > 0:26:25RAF DIALS PHONE
0:26:27 > 0:26:29Here...
0:26:29 > 0:26:30The police.
0:26:35 > 0:26:38- KNOCK AT DOOR - Come in.
0:26:38 > 0:26:40You got a moment?
0:26:41 > 0:26:45On whose authority was the C-Arm scanner purchased?
0:26:45 > 0:26:49Well, Mr Wood led a fairly determined group of board members
0:26:49 > 0:26:51and they convinced the rest that it was a good plan.
0:26:51 > 0:26:53What is good about this plan?
0:26:53 > 0:26:56If it's any consolation, I advised that the lease on the scanner should
0:26:56 > 0:26:59be renewed. Mechanical failure's always going to be an issue.
0:26:59 > 0:27:01The issue is the price of people's lives.
0:27:01 > 0:27:03Now you understand why I need a friendly face in there,
0:27:03 > 0:27:06someone who understands our needs.
0:27:06 > 0:27:08I simply can't stop them on my own.
0:27:12 > 0:27:13Where are you going?
0:27:14 > 0:27:15To sort this mess out.
0:27:15 > 0:27:18Well, may I advise caution, please?
0:27:18 > 0:27:20Remember your interview today.
0:27:20 > 0:27:22Eyes on the prize, Mr Griffin.
0:27:24 > 0:27:26Fletch?
0:27:26 > 0:27:29It's good news - what we thought was a fracture turned out to be
0:27:29 > 0:27:30an artefact on the scan.
0:27:30 > 0:27:32So no broken neck?
0:27:32 > 0:27:33No. Just a shadow.
0:27:33 > 0:27:37MRI says there's no signs of a brain haematoma either, but Evie's
0:27:37 > 0:27:42haemoglobin is significantly down and I'm concerned about this...
0:27:42 > 0:27:46Abdominal CT shows free fluid just here.
0:27:46 > 0:27:48So where's that coming from?
0:27:48 > 0:27:50We don't know.
0:27:50 > 0:27:52I'm not going to sugar-coat it, Fletch, we have to do
0:27:52 > 0:27:55an emergency laparotomy to find and then fix.
0:27:56 > 0:28:00Evie is prepped and ready for theatre.
0:28:00 > 0:28:02I need your permission to proceed.
0:28:02 > 0:28:03Just do whatever you've got to do.
0:28:03 > 0:28:04OK, let's go.
0:28:13 > 0:28:15This isn't ideal.
0:28:15 > 0:28:17It's positively Bronze Age.
0:28:18 > 0:28:20But without a C-Arm, what can we do?
0:28:22 > 0:28:26I can see six gallstones in the bile duct.
0:28:26 > 0:28:27No, hang on...
0:28:27 > 0:28:28Make that seven.
0:28:30 > 0:28:31So what did Hanssen say?
0:28:32 > 0:28:36That he had tried to veto the purchase but he had
0:28:36 > 0:28:38effectively been shouted down.
0:28:38 > 0:28:39Nine in view.
0:28:41 > 0:28:42So what was the outcome?
0:28:42 > 0:28:45It seems that this was Tristan's doing.
0:28:45 > 0:28:47- What, the suit on the ward?- Mm-hmm.
0:28:48 > 0:28:50See, I never liked that name.
0:28:51 > 0:28:53You should never trust a Tristan.
0:28:55 > 0:28:58I sat next to a Tristan at school, he was always copying my work.
0:28:58 > 0:29:01Right little snide.
0:29:01 > 0:29:04Does this story have a punchline?
0:29:04 > 0:29:05Actually, yes, it does.
0:29:05 > 0:29:08A couple of years ago he was all over the newspapers.
0:29:08 > 0:29:12Had an overseas property company in Spain, swindled old ladies
0:29:12 > 0:29:14out of their life savings.
0:29:14 > 0:29:19It seems our particular Tristan has totally ingratiated himself
0:29:19 > 0:29:24with the Board by offering Guy Self an endless pot of gold.
0:29:24 > 0:29:27As a rule, expect the worst and from time to time
0:29:27 > 0:29:29you might be pleasantly surprised.
0:29:29 > 0:29:31Still...
0:29:31 > 0:29:32He may be genuine.
0:29:54 > 0:29:56SNORING
0:29:56 > 0:29:58Gary.
0:30:00 > 0:30:03That little girl that we spoke about earlier...
0:30:03 > 0:30:06What would happen if it wasn't an accident?
0:30:06 > 0:30:09Well, that'll depend on the incident, who was involved etc.
0:30:11 > 0:30:13What's her history? Has she got a family?
0:30:13 > 0:30:15Actually, I shouldn't be talking about it.
0:30:15 > 0:30:19No... This is obviously bothering you and I'm a case worker.
0:30:22 > 0:30:26OK then, just give me the broad strokes.
0:30:29 > 0:30:32Would she be taken away from her parents
0:30:32 > 0:30:35if there was some kind of incident?
0:30:35 > 0:30:38That's everyone's first reaction, but believe me, we do all we can
0:30:38 > 0:30:39for that not to be the case.
0:30:39 > 0:30:42If the violence doesn't come from the parents and we can see
0:30:42 > 0:30:45they're good people, we would always call for the child to stay in situ.
0:30:45 > 0:30:47So as not stress them any further.
0:30:47 > 0:30:52Parenting is hard and sometimes a child's problems can stem from that.
0:30:52 > 0:30:54Getting a little help, making a few changes can often solve
0:30:54 > 0:30:56a lot of the problems.
0:30:56 > 0:30:59All that said, there's usually a reason for them not to
0:30:59 > 0:31:00come forward in the first place.
0:31:03 > 0:31:04Cheers.
0:31:15 > 0:31:16More suction, please.
0:31:18 > 0:31:19Blood pressure's dropping.
0:31:19 > 0:31:21She might need an inotrope.
0:31:21 > 0:31:23Liver seems sound.
0:31:23 > 0:31:26No perforations to the intestine or sign of bowel contents.
0:31:26 > 0:31:30Please be thorough, we might not get a second shot at this.
0:31:31 > 0:31:32Spleen's ruptured.
0:31:32 > 0:31:33Fixable?
0:31:35 > 0:31:37Tough call. More suction.
0:31:37 > 0:31:41She'll be on meds for the rest of her life if it has to come out.
0:31:41 > 0:31:47There's a lot of blood, but it looks like it's just a capsular tear.
0:31:47 > 0:31:48Haemostatic patch, please.
0:31:54 > 0:31:56Are you all right, Mr Di Lucca?
0:31:58 > 0:32:00This morning, she was gutted.
0:32:00 > 0:32:04I'd had the last of the Coco Pops and I promised I'd get
0:32:04 > 0:32:06a big box on the way home.
0:32:06 > 0:32:09I just don't understand how we've got to this.
0:32:09 > 0:32:13Let's just concentrate on the job in hand and she can tell us herself.
0:32:21 > 0:32:24You look like you're about to walk the Green Mile.
0:32:24 > 0:32:27Touch of stage fright, that's all.
0:32:27 > 0:32:29Just think of them all naked, you'll be fine.
0:32:30 > 0:32:33Showtime, Guy.
0:32:33 > 0:32:34Right.
0:32:34 > 0:32:35Here to see history in the making?
0:32:35 > 0:32:37No, actually I came to see you.
0:32:41 > 0:32:45The decision by the Trust to gamble on the purchase of an old
0:32:45 > 0:32:48C-Arm has proved to be a poor one.
0:32:48 > 0:32:51The monthly revenue stream was desperately needed elsewhere.
0:32:51 > 0:32:53Difficult choices have to made.
0:32:53 > 0:32:55Well, perhaps you could explain that to my patient.
0:32:55 > 0:32:58Ric, I understand your concern but we have to look
0:32:58 > 0:33:01at the bigger picture here. It's one individual.
0:33:01 > 0:33:03You know, I really thought that you and I were singing
0:33:03 > 0:33:05from the same hymn sheet.
0:33:05 > 0:33:07We are, of course we are.
0:33:07 > 0:33:12You have my word - the scanner will be repaired or replaced ASAP.
0:33:12 > 0:33:15Thanks for bringing it to my attention. Good man.
0:33:24 > 0:33:27Oh. No bone china?
0:33:28 > 0:33:29Cutbacks.
0:33:29 > 0:33:32Best I could do, I'm afraid.
0:33:32 > 0:33:36So, you followed in your father's footsteps?
0:33:36 > 0:33:39I guess the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.
0:33:39 > 0:33:41Yes, you could say that, I suppose.
0:33:41 > 0:33:43Your dream or his?
0:33:45 > 0:33:49I remember, when I was little,
0:33:49 > 0:33:51the cat dragged a half-dead blackbird
0:33:51 > 0:33:55into the house and I nursed it back to life.
0:33:55 > 0:33:57And did you let it go?
0:33:57 > 0:34:01I didn't want to, but Dad thought it was for the best.
0:34:01 > 0:34:02Yes, I know.
0:34:02 > 0:34:04It's all in here.
0:34:05 > 0:34:08Surprised he remembered.
0:34:08 > 0:34:11The first step to a glittering medical career.
0:34:15 > 0:34:19What exactly is this presentation he's doing today?
0:34:19 > 0:34:22He's trying to raise awareness amongst benefactors to expand
0:34:22 > 0:34:25the neurosurgical department.
0:34:25 > 0:34:27Are you proud of your father?
0:34:27 > 0:34:28Yes, I am.
0:34:28 > 0:34:30Are you proud of your son?
0:34:30 > 0:34:34It's been many a year since Guy allowed himself
0:34:34 > 0:34:36to accept praise from me.
0:34:36 > 0:34:41I never saw him graduate, get married, your birth.
0:34:43 > 0:34:45Well, would you like to see him in action now?
0:34:49 > 0:34:50Right, in here.
0:34:50 > 0:34:53You tell me you didn't do it.
0:34:53 > 0:34:55- I swear to God, Mikey.- I'm sorry.
0:34:55 > 0:34:57You pushed your sister down the stairs?!
0:34:57 > 0:34:58It was an accident...
0:34:58 > 0:35:00There's no such thing as an accident when you're involved!
0:35:00 > 0:35:03Whoa, whoa, whoa. What's all this?
0:35:03 > 0:35:05How's Evie?
0:35:05 > 0:35:06Bernie managed to save her spleen,
0:35:06 > 0:35:09which is where the bleed was coming from.
0:35:09 > 0:35:11She's been given five units intraoperatively
0:35:11 > 0:35:13and that should hopefully stabilise her haemoglobin.
0:35:13 > 0:35:15She's through the worst?
0:35:15 > 0:35:17Barring infection, I see no reason
0:35:17 > 0:35:19why she shouldn't make a full recovery.
0:35:19 > 0:35:21See, she's going to be OK.
0:35:21 > 0:35:23This is a million miles away from being OK.
0:35:26 > 0:35:31We, as an NHS Trust, are not looking to be naming wards
0:35:31 > 0:35:33after people for one-hit investments.
0:35:33 > 0:35:37Our aim is to achieve a sustained, steady and committed
0:35:37 > 0:35:42revenue strand so that we can budget years, even decades into the future.
0:35:42 > 0:35:44A lasting legacy.
0:35:44 > 0:35:46That said, I'm sure there's room for the little
0:35:46 > 0:35:50Gainsworth cranial saw in my equipment drawer.
0:35:56 > 0:35:57Any questions?
0:35:58 > 0:35:59I'd like to ask...
0:35:59 > 0:36:02There's a patient here with a question.
0:36:03 > 0:36:06Good to hear from the public, Guy.
0:36:06 > 0:36:08Yes.
0:36:08 > 0:36:10Fire away.
0:36:10 > 0:36:11Let me just put my glasses on.
0:36:11 > 0:36:15- Zosia, where have you put them? - Here...
0:36:15 > 0:36:16Thank you.
0:36:16 > 0:36:22It says here in your book that the death of your father
0:36:22 > 0:36:26was the pivotal moment which led to you becoming a doctor.
0:36:28 > 0:36:30Would you care to elaborate?
0:36:31 > 0:36:37I'm sure the audience would love to hear how the seed was sown.
0:36:41 > 0:36:42Don't be modest, Guy.
0:36:46 > 0:36:48Well, yes...
0:36:48 > 0:36:50My father...
0:36:57 > 0:37:00My father was a wonderful man...
0:37:08 > 0:37:10I'm so sorry, you'll have to excuse me.
0:37:13 > 0:37:15MURMURING
0:37:16 > 0:37:19Obviously a very emotional memory.
0:37:19 > 0:37:22I give you Guy Self, ladies and gentlemen.
0:37:27 > 0:37:29- What the hell was that? - I'm sorry.
0:37:29 > 0:37:33You're meant to leave them on a high, not have an emotional breakdown on stage.
0:37:33 > 0:37:35You were the one who wanted me to tug on their heart strings.
0:37:35 > 0:37:38You're trying to tell me that was all an act?
0:37:38 > 0:37:40You are the figurehead,
0:37:40 > 0:37:42you are the man they need to put their trust in.
0:37:42 > 0:37:44It won't happen again.
0:37:47 > 0:37:50Everything looks good. We'll get you in an observation ward soon.
0:37:52 > 0:37:54How did that girl get on?
0:37:55 > 0:37:58She's fine now that she's through her surgery.
0:38:00 > 0:38:02Told you what happened yet?
0:38:02 > 0:38:06She's in recovery, we're still waiting for her to come round.
0:38:10 > 0:38:12Here.
0:38:12 > 0:38:16Emergency number - in case you feel there's a need for safeguarding.
0:38:37 > 0:38:39The little girl -
0:38:39 > 0:38:41her name's Evie and she's my daughter.
0:38:41 > 0:38:44Thought there was more to it the way you was acting.
0:38:45 > 0:38:49I've got four beautiful children that I just don't deserve.
0:38:50 > 0:38:54You know, I work every hour, so I don't see them.
0:38:54 > 0:38:58And yet I still can't put a proper roof over their head.
0:38:58 > 0:39:01Basically I'm just letting them all down.
0:39:01 > 0:39:03And I'm letting their mum down.
0:39:05 > 0:39:08And if she could see what a mess I was making of it down here...
0:39:09 > 0:39:11- Sorry.- No sweat, mate.
0:39:14 > 0:39:17Everyone has said that there's a problem.
0:39:19 > 0:39:21I just didn't want to believe it.
0:39:23 > 0:39:26All kids ever need is a bit of care and attention.
0:39:28 > 0:39:30To know they're safe, to know they're loved.
0:39:32 > 0:39:33What's that?
0:39:33 > 0:39:34That's my mobile.
0:39:35 > 0:39:37Call me any time, night or day.
0:39:38 > 0:39:41We're going to get through this, you and me.
0:39:42 > 0:39:44You're not on your own any more.
0:39:53 > 0:39:56I did my best by Guy when his father died.
0:39:56 > 0:39:59He used to idolise him.
0:39:59 > 0:40:01I truly thought he'd enjoy reminiscing.
0:40:01 > 0:40:05I'm so sorry, Zosia, I seem to have cast an enormous shadow
0:40:05 > 0:40:06on his big day.
0:40:06 > 0:40:09No, don't get upset. He'll get over it.
0:40:10 > 0:40:12You weren't to know.
0:40:13 > 0:40:16Tell me, what was Grandpa like?
0:40:17 > 0:40:19Wonderful.
0:40:19 > 0:40:22Totally charismatic.
0:40:22 > 0:40:24So inspirational.
0:40:24 > 0:40:27He was the type of person who made you feel
0:40:27 > 0:40:29you were capable of anything.
0:40:30 > 0:40:33Dad doesn't really talk about him.
0:40:33 > 0:40:36Sometimes, when he's had a bit too much to drink,
0:40:36 > 0:40:39he gets a little maudlin, but that's it really.
0:40:39 > 0:40:44I think, deep down, he takes some responsibility for his death.
0:40:44 > 0:40:46Dad does? But he was eight years old.
0:40:46 > 0:40:49Oh, don't listen to a silly old woman.
0:40:49 > 0:40:51No, no, tell me.
0:40:52 > 0:40:56Guy didn't fare so well without a father figure in his life.
0:40:57 > 0:41:01I had to be hard on him. I knew his potential
0:41:01 > 0:41:03and I was damned if I was going to see it go to waste.
0:41:03 > 0:41:05Is that what he's holding against you?
0:41:05 > 0:41:09I had to be tough, couldn't see him fail.
0:41:09 > 0:41:13And now look at him - and not one word of thanks.
0:41:13 > 0:41:14Zosia, can you leave us please?
0:41:16 > 0:41:17Do you want me to go?
0:41:17 > 0:41:18I said get out.
0:41:19 > 0:41:22I think you'd better do as he says, my dear.
0:41:43 > 0:41:46Looks worse than it is.
0:41:46 > 0:41:47It's mainly just bruising.
0:41:48 > 0:41:52Is she going to... She going to be OK?
0:41:52 > 0:41:54Given time.
0:41:54 > 0:41:56How are you doing?
0:41:56 > 0:41:58Who are you?
0:41:58 > 0:42:02I'm Bernie, I'm a colleague of your dad's and Mr Di Lucca's.
0:42:03 > 0:42:05Heard a lot about you, Mikey.
0:42:06 > 0:42:07Most of it good.
0:42:10 > 0:42:12I've got a little boy.
0:42:12 > 0:42:15Not so little any more, Cameron.
0:42:15 > 0:42:18You remind me of him.
0:42:18 > 0:42:21He was always getting into scrapes.
0:42:21 > 0:42:23When will she wake up?
0:42:23 > 0:42:26When we know she's all right.
0:42:26 > 0:42:31Cameron used to say he got the blame for everything,
0:42:31 > 0:42:34even when it wasn't his fault.
0:42:34 > 0:42:39- So?- It got to the point that he didn't want to admit to anything.
0:42:41 > 0:42:46That just made things worse than if he'd fessed up in the first place.
0:42:48 > 0:42:51Mikey, if something bad happened...
0:42:53 > 0:42:55..I think you should tell your father.
0:42:57 > 0:43:01Before he hears it from Evie.
0:43:01 > 0:43:03Yeah?
0:43:03 > 0:43:07Oh, and we didn't have this conversation.
0:43:15 > 0:43:17This is all just a sick game to you, isn't it?
0:43:17 > 0:43:21I really have no idea what you're talking about.
0:43:21 > 0:43:23Is it just coincidence that you turned up here today?
0:43:23 > 0:43:26Oh, Guy, you know how unwell I am.
0:43:26 > 0:43:31Mother, your nursing home is less than two miles from St James'.
0:43:31 > 0:43:35Oh, so I'm supposed to have tipped the wink to the ambulance driver?
0:43:35 > 0:43:40I was blue lit in here, barely conscious with an oxygen mask on.
0:43:40 > 0:43:44- I will not have you poisoning Zosia. - Can you hear yourself?
0:43:44 > 0:43:47Don't you think this should be a joyous occasion?
0:43:47 > 0:43:50A moment of sweet reconciliation?
0:43:50 > 0:43:52You've already got your claws in deep, haven't you?
0:43:52 > 0:43:55Guy, you were a serious disappointment as a child.
0:43:55 > 0:43:58Don't be an even bigger letdown as a man.
0:43:58 > 0:43:59Enough!
0:43:59 > 0:44:01Do you know, when you behave like this,
0:44:01 > 0:44:04you remind me so much of your father.
0:44:07 > 0:44:10If you breathe a word of your poison to my daughter,
0:44:10 > 0:44:13I will cut off the purse strings...
0:44:13 > 0:44:16and you will die poor and very lonely.
0:44:29 > 0:44:32If this was a cop movie, this would be the part
0:44:32 > 0:44:35when you realise the game is up...
0:44:36 > 0:44:38..and you told me everything.
0:44:42 > 0:44:44Look, I need to know exactly what happened.
0:44:47 > 0:44:49Evie's going to tell me anyway.
0:44:53 > 0:44:56It was like watching someone else do it.
0:44:56 > 0:44:57Just went for her...
0:44:59 > 0:45:02Couldn't stop myself...
0:45:02 > 0:45:05And the next thing I know, she's lying at the bottom of the stairs.
0:45:09 > 0:45:12I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I didn't mean it.
0:45:15 > 0:45:16I know you didn't.
0:45:16 > 0:45:18I'm scared, Dad.
0:45:18 > 0:45:19I don't want go to prison.
0:45:19 > 0:45:22I want to stay with you.
0:45:22 > 0:45:24That is not going to happen.
0:45:24 > 0:45:27This family is staying together.
0:45:27 > 0:45:33I'm your dad, and I will always, always be there for you.
0:45:33 > 0:45:37This isn't your fault, right, this is my fault.
0:45:39 > 0:45:43Now, we're going to face the music, you and me, side by side.
0:45:49 > 0:45:51Blow your nose.
0:45:55 > 0:45:58Now, I promise you, I'm going to make sure
0:45:58 > 0:46:00we get all the help that we need.
0:46:01 > 0:46:02DOOR OPENS
0:46:04 > 0:46:06Evie's last scans were clear.
0:46:06 > 0:46:10We're getting ready to bring her round.
0:46:10 > 0:46:13Right, give me that.
0:46:13 > 0:46:15Let's go.
0:46:17 > 0:46:18Take a seat, Ric.
0:46:18 > 0:46:22We'll only take a few more moments of your time.
0:46:22 > 0:46:23Good evening, gentlemen.
0:46:23 > 0:46:26Right...
0:46:26 > 0:46:28Shall I begin?
0:46:28 > 0:46:31Mr Hanssen, if you please.
0:46:31 > 0:46:34Yes. Mr Wood has led an impassioned plea on your behalf
0:46:34 > 0:46:36and the Board as a whole, myself included,
0:46:36 > 0:46:41have agreed that your findings and strategy should be instigated
0:46:41 > 0:46:43with immediate effect.
0:46:43 > 0:46:47The leasing of a new C-Arm scanner being the first step, I believe.
0:46:47 > 0:46:51To that end, and with the Board's approval, I will oversee
0:46:51 > 0:46:54an audit of all outsourced contractual work whilst Mr Hanssen
0:46:54 > 0:46:56will oversee an internal costing review.
0:46:56 > 0:47:00Well, that's good to hear. I for one will be relieved...
0:47:00 > 0:47:04For a start, we are dissolving the role of Deputy CEO.
0:47:06 > 0:47:10The particular powers of that post will be passed to the Board
0:47:10 > 0:47:13and its salary will go a long way to funding improvements
0:47:13 > 0:47:16to the imaging equipment that you are so passionate about.
0:47:18 > 0:47:19I see.
0:47:19 > 0:47:21I...
0:47:21 > 0:47:26I would still like to offer my services as I feel that
0:47:26 > 0:47:28staff representation on the Board...
0:47:28 > 0:47:31Mr Griffin, I'm sure I can speak for the Board when I say that
0:47:31 > 0:47:35your presence here today has been invaluable and we may
0:47:35 > 0:47:37call on you again to pass comment.
0:47:37 > 0:47:40But, for now, we feel you should concentrate on medicine,
0:47:40 > 0:47:42leave the number crunching to us.
0:47:48 > 0:47:50There's nothing coming from the drain.
0:47:50 > 0:47:55Haemoglobin above ten, pulse 60, BP 120/80.
0:47:55 > 0:47:57I just can't thank you enough...
0:47:57 > 0:48:00She's waking up!
0:48:00 > 0:48:01Ouch.
0:48:01 > 0:48:03Evie. Are you in pain, darling?
0:48:03 > 0:48:05On a scale of one to ten...
0:48:05 > 0:48:06Ten being the worst?
0:48:07 > 0:48:0811.
0:48:10 > 0:48:12OK. I'll up your pain relief, Evie.
0:48:12 > 0:48:15You try and get some rest, we'll have you home in no time.
0:48:16 > 0:48:20Evie... Sorry... I don't know what's wrong with me.
0:48:28 > 0:48:30Did you know about this?
0:48:32 > 0:48:34Yeah, he came clean to me.
0:48:35 > 0:48:37What are you going to do about it?
0:48:40 > 0:48:43Never take your eyes off the ball...
0:48:45 > 0:48:47Dynamo, eat your heart out.
0:48:47 > 0:48:50OK, don't distract me, cos I think I've got it.
0:48:51 > 0:48:53It's that one.
0:48:56 > 0:48:57HE CHUCKLES
0:48:59 > 0:49:00Hit me again.
0:49:01 > 0:49:06We gave Mr Smiley his gallstones as a keepsake.
0:49:06 > 0:49:09He was so thrilled, he decided to challenge Mr Levy to a wager.
0:49:09 > 0:49:10Oh, really?
0:49:10 > 0:49:13He's now 60 quid down, I think he's got a problem.
0:49:13 > 0:49:18So, do you feel lucky, punk?
0:49:18 > 0:49:20Well, do you?
0:49:21 > 0:49:22It's that one.
0:49:26 > 0:49:27How do you do it?
0:49:30 > 0:49:33Well, that's one way of sorting out your money troubles.
0:49:33 > 0:49:36Doc, erm... I just wanted to say thank you for all you've done for me.
0:49:36 > 0:49:39I know I can be a royal pain in the backside.
0:49:39 > 0:49:43But, just had a bit of aggro lately, you know.
0:49:43 > 0:49:46Bad divorce, no wonga, you know how it is.
0:49:46 > 0:49:50I don't suppose, man like you... Bit different isn't it?
0:49:50 > 0:49:52You'd be surprised.
0:49:58 > 0:50:01So, how did the interview go?
0:50:01 > 0:50:04Oh, I think we can file it with the ever-growing pile of classic fails.
0:50:06 > 0:50:07You didn't get it?
0:50:07 > 0:50:12After I spoke to Mr Wood, they decided to dissolve the post.
0:50:12 > 0:50:14,You have a moment, Mr Griffin?
0:50:14 > 0:50:17"Never trust a Tristan." I should have listened.
0:50:17 > 0:50:20Yes, I don't think we've heard such oratorical prowess
0:50:20 > 0:50:21since Churchill's War years.
0:50:21 > 0:50:23He had them eating out of the palm of his hand.
0:50:23 > 0:50:26I will not sit there and be told how to run my hospital
0:50:26 > 0:50:28by a group of unqualified...
0:50:28 > 0:50:30Oh, so your hospital, is it?
0:50:30 > 0:50:32This is why I told you to try and keep a lid on things.
0:50:32 > 0:50:34You let it get personal.
0:50:34 > 0:50:38You fell into his trap and then you allowed him to goad you for it.
0:50:40 > 0:50:43Look, I'm sorry if you feel that I've let you down.
0:50:43 > 0:50:46Well, an all-powerful Board is a problem.
0:50:46 > 0:50:49I think, for the good of Holby, we should keep a very close eye
0:50:49 > 0:50:50on Mr Self's new banker...
0:50:51 > 0:50:53..now you know how dangerous he can be.
0:50:57 > 0:51:00Are we going to talk to the police now?
0:51:00 > 0:51:02Don't worry about it.
0:51:02 > 0:51:05I'll be with you, it'll be all right.
0:51:05 > 0:51:06You promise?
0:51:06 > 0:51:11Of course. I can see that you're sorry and that's the main thing.
0:51:13 > 0:51:15I didn't know what you was going to do...
0:51:23 > 0:51:26This is Gary.
0:51:26 > 0:51:28Gary's a social worker.
0:51:28 > 0:51:30Hello, Mikey. You all right?
0:51:31 > 0:51:36It's all right, sunshine, it's not official.
0:51:36 > 0:51:38I just want you to have a little chat with him.
0:51:38 > 0:51:40Do you think you can do that for me?
0:51:58 > 0:51:59Val told me everything.
0:51:59 > 0:52:02Don't you think it's time to forgive and forget?
0:52:06 > 0:52:07How's he getting on?
0:52:10 > 0:52:12Touch wood.
0:52:12 > 0:52:13See you back at the ranch.
0:52:13 > 0:52:15Look, Raf...
0:52:17 > 0:52:20I think we should find our own place.
0:52:20 > 0:52:23If you just give me a little bit of time to get Evie sorted...
0:52:23 > 0:52:26- You're going nowhere...- It's fine, I'm in a much better place.
0:52:26 > 0:52:29- I can get a loan for a deposit. - What, for some cesspit?
0:52:29 > 0:52:32I'm not going to see you lot out on the street.
0:52:32 > 0:52:34You needed to get him some help.
0:52:34 > 0:52:37You couldn't see that, but I could.
0:52:37 > 0:52:40Now you've done something about it, and we're good.
0:52:56 > 0:53:00I mean, she'd think nothing of locking me in a cupboard
0:53:00 > 0:53:03for hours on end for the slightest misdemeanour.
0:53:03 > 0:53:05No light, no food, no water...
0:53:08 > 0:53:10This was all before Grandpa died?
0:53:12 > 0:53:14She seemed to think that he'd transferred his love onto me
0:53:14 > 0:53:16when I was born.
0:53:16 > 0:53:19She blamed me for his indifference towards her.
0:53:19 > 0:53:21Why didn't he do something about it?
0:53:21 > 0:53:23Why didn't he protect you?
0:53:23 > 0:53:25Zosia, he couldn't even protect himself.
0:53:30 > 0:53:32Your grandfather...
0:53:33 > 0:53:36..committed suicide because of that woman.
0:53:38 > 0:53:40What are you doing?
0:53:41 > 0:53:44She needed to find a focus for her anger after he died
0:53:44 > 0:53:46and that focus landed on me.
0:53:51 > 0:53:55Remember when you were little and you used to ask me how I got them?
0:53:58 > 0:54:00Yes, you used to say they were from...
0:54:02 > 0:54:05..your days as a lion tamer. I used to love that story.
0:54:07 > 0:54:10Yes, well, it's not that far from the truth.
0:54:11 > 0:54:12So she hit you?
0:54:18 > 0:54:21I had to be perfect at everything.
0:54:21 > 0:54:23"Wrong! Do it again!
0:54:23 > 0:54:24"Faster, better, stronger!"
0:54:26 > 0:54:29She would beat me until my back was raw
0:54:29 > 0:54:31for showing the slightest weakness.
0:54:32 > 0:54:35I tried to forgive and forget, Zosia, I really did.
0:54:37 > 0:54:40But I'm still trying to get over it.
0:54:42 > 0:54:43I mean, look at me -
0:54:43 > 0:54:47a grown man, educated, family of my own.
0:54:49 > 0:54:52Every third Tuesday, from seven till nine, I...
0:54:56 > 0:54:58Play squash?
0:55:01 > 0:55:03I go to a support group.
0:55:04 > 0:55:08I sit on a hard chair, I drink tea out of a polystyrene cup.
0:55:10 > 0:55:12We all sit in a circle and I...
0:55:15 > 0:55:21I talk about my childhood and my
0:55:21 > 0:55:22relationship...
0:55:27 > 0:55:30..with my mother.
0:55:36 > 0:55:38And the lack of love...
0:55:41 > 0:55:46In fact the pure venom that was directed at me...
0:55:48 > 0:55:52..and it still kills me to this day.
0:55:52 > 0:55:54HE SNIFFS
0:55:55 > 0:55:58The absolute shame of knowing that your mother,
0:55:58 > 0:56:00your own flesh and blood...
0:56:03 > 0:56:04..actually hates you.
0:56:09 > 0:56:12The others are men just like me.
0:56:12 > 0:56:13I watch them and...
0:56:15 > 0:56:16..sometimes they watch me.
0:56:28 > 0:56:30So, any plans tonight?
0:56:30 > 0:56:33A few tough choices on the old Pot Noodle front -
0:56:33 > 0:56:36I thought I might just cut my toenails.
0:56:36 > 0:56:38Well, it is Tuesday.
0:56:38 > 0:56:39You?
0:56:39 > 0:56:41Oh, well it's mental at Morven's - party central.
0:56:41 > 0:56:43We'll probably start with a few shots of Aloe Vera juice
0:56:43 > 0:56:46and then get completely wasted on spirulina.
0:56:46 > 0:56:48Still an SAS boot camp over there, is it?
0:56:48 > 0:56:50The fun never starts with that girl.
0:56:50 > 0:56:53So, we will have 15 drinks and then go home.
0:56:53 > 0:56:56I think I said one...
0:56:56 > 0:56:58Three.
0:56:58 > 0:56:59Come on, two.
0:56:59 > 0:57:01Done. It's your round then, handsome.
0:57:05 > 0:57:06Glad you came.
0:57:08 > 0:57:11I really do want to hear more of your thoughts.
0:57:11 > 0:57:13What's your poison?
0:57:13 > 0:57:14I'm good, thanks.
0:57:14 > 0:57:16Suit yourself.
0:57:16 > 0:57:18Large G&T when you're ready, please.
0:57:19 > 0:57:21No hard feelings, I hope?
0:57:22 > 0:57:24None whatsoever.
0:57:24 > 0:57:26But know this -
0:57:26 > 0:57:29you may have won the battle today,
0:57:29 > 0:57:30but this is far from over.
