0:00:02 > 0:00:04What I see in your eyes is a hunger to get pregnant.

0:00:04 > 0:00:06I need some space. Sir! Ah!

0:00:14 > 0:00:16I'm pregnant.

0:00:16 > 0:00:18Have you been in touch with Mr Thompson lately?

0:00:20 > 0:00:21No. Why would I?

0:00:21 > 0:00:25You can't mess about with people's feelings like that.

0:00:25 > 0:00:27It is not right. It is hurtful.

0:01:10 > 0:01:13It's nothing to be ashamed of. So what if everyone knows?

0:01:15 > 0:01:17I just... I want to keep it quiet, that's all.

0:01:19 > 0:01:23They're your friends. They just want to be supportive.

0:01:23 > 0:01:25Dominic?

0:01:25 > 0:01:27Well, you know each other well enough and if you tell him

0:01:27 > 0:01:29how you feel, he might be able to help.

0:01:31 > 0:01:32I'm going to knuckle down,

0:01:32 > 0:01:37close my eyes and hope the whole thing passes in a blur.

0:01:37 > 0:01:40ALL: Surprise!

0:01:40 > 0:01:42Only 15 more years until you get to draw your pension!

0:01:42 > 0:01:44Ah!

0:01:44 > 0:01:45What?!

0:01:45 > 0:01:47You've worked here a long time,

0:01:47 > 0:01:48everyone knows when your birthday is,

0:01:48 > 0:01:50and they can add 49 and one, so...

0:01:50 > 0:01:52ALL: Happy Birthday!

0:01:52 > 0:01:55Very kind. Lovely of you to think of me. Thank you.

0:01:55 > 0:01:58Look, if you need a hand in getting hold of

0:01:58 > 0:02:00a Zimmer frame later or help with your dodgy hip,

0:02:00 > 0:02:02just give me a shout.

0:02:02 > 0:02:05I think you'll find I'm in the same outstanding physical condition I was yesterday.

0:02:05 > 0:02:08Yeah. I heard you make a noise when you sat down yesterday.

0:02:08 > 0:02:10It was a little like, "Aah".

0:02:10 > 0:02:12Go away now. OK.

0:02:16 > 0:02:19Please tell me this is the last time we'll mention my birthday today?

0:02:19 > 0:02:20Absolutely.

0:02:21 > 0:02:24Apart from the surprise party at Albie's later.

0:02:24 > 0:02:25Ah, great.

0:02:25 > 0:02:29Don't hate me but this whole decaf thing's about to die a death.

0:02:29 > 0:02:33"I am dying for a cup of decaf", said no-one ever.

0:02:34 > 0:02:37Take my advice, just accept it's not coffee

0:02:37 > 0:02:38and move on to something else.

0:02:38 > 0:02:42Can I get one of those orange and passion fruit thingies, please?

0:02:42 > 0:02:46I'm sorry. I was listening in. It's a bad habit.

0:02:47 > 0:02:50Nah, you did me a favour. No coffee is better than non-coffee.

0:02:50 > 0:02:53I'm guessing you're a double shot sort of girl.

0:02:55 > 0:02:57Can I be nosy and ask...?

0:02:58 > 0:02:59Preggers, yeah.

0:02:59 > 0:03:02Ah. I thought that might be it.

0:03:02 > 0:03:05Yeah, so no coffee, no rare steak and pretty much

0:03:05 > 0:03:07no fun for nine months.

0:03:07 > 0:03:09I suppose I should have probably told someone by now.

0:03:09 > 0:03:11Plus, if I guessed...

0:03:11 > 0:03:13Yeah, course.

0:03:13 > 0:03:15Now that I've left it this late,

0:03:15 > 0:03:17when I finally do tell everyone it's going to be

0:03:17 > 0:03:19all awkward and weird and...

0:03:19 > 0:03:22It's really none of your... I'm just going to shut up.

0:03:22 > 0:03:24Anyway, congratulations.

0:03:24 > 0:03:26Thanks.

0:03:28 > 0:03:29It's great, isn't it?

0:03:37 > 0:03:40I can request that in large print, if it's easier?

0:03:41 > 0:03:43Old age jokes wearing thin?

0:03:43 > 0:03:44Like my hairline - boom-boom!

0:03:46 > 0:03:48So, are they here?

0:03:48 > 0:03:52Yes, donor and recipient all present and correct. Getting on rather well.

0:03:52 > 0:03:54Makes you feel all warm and fuzzy inside, doesn't it?

0:03:54 > 0:03:58Hardly. Let's just see if they're still as chummy

0:03:58 > 0:04:01once he's minus an organ and she got what she came for.

0:04:01 > 0:04:02LIFT PINGS

0:04:07 > 0:04:08Hold the lift!

0:04:10 > 0:04:12Morning.

0:04:14 > 0:04:15Morning.

0:04:15 > 0:04:19I hope today's not going to see a repeat of last week.

0:04:20 > 0:04:24No. Why, do you want it to?

0:04:24 > 0:04:27I mean, I for one don't go round kissing work colleagues

0:04:27 > 0:04:28as a matter of course.

0:04:30 > 0:04:32Erm...

0:04:32 > 0:04:34No, no.

0:04:34 > 0:04:37I meant... I think we could all do with a bit of a break.

0:04:38 > 0:04:40Yeah, no...

0:04:40 > 0:04:44I knew that's what you meant, it was just my little joke there.

0:04:44 > 0:04:46THEY LAUGH AWKWARDLY

0:04:48 > 0:04:50'Doors opening. Lift going up.'

0:04:50 > 0:04:52How's Fletch?

0:04:52 > 0:04:55Yes, all signs indicate that he's recovering well from surgery

0:04:55 > 0:04:58and there's no indication that the sepsis has returned.

0:04:58 > 0:05:00So it's time then?

0:05:00 > 0:05:01Yep. Yep.

0:05:01 > 0:05:04'Doors opening. Lift going up'

0:05:04 > 0:05:07I'd like to be there, though, if...

0:05:09 > 0:05:12Yeah. Of course. Of course.

0:05:12 > 0:05:14Thanks.

0:05:14 > 0:05:16Looks like I might have a patient with

0:05:16 > 0:05:20a pseudoaneurysm of the splenic artery.

0:05:20 > 0:05:22You don't see one of them every day.

0:05:22 > 0:05:26No, no, no, that's...that's true. Well, good luck with that then.

0:05:30 > 0:05:33Nurse Harrison will continue to be your first point of contact

0:05:33 > 0:05:35before, during and after the transplant...

0:05:35 > 0:05:37Though if you've got any questions during,

0:05:37 > 0:05:39safe to say we've all got problems!

0:05:39 > 0:05:42Dr Copeland will be part of the retrieval team

0:05:42 > 0:05:44working on you, Charlie.

0:05:44 > 0:05:45Don't drop it, will you?

0:05:45 > 0:05:48I might not be able to catch but I can carry.

0:05:48 > 0:05:51And, Flora, I shall be heading up the procedure on you.

0:05:51 > 0:05:54Oh, I think that makes you my new best friend, doesn't it?

0:05:54 > 0:05:55Oi.

0:05:55 > 0:05:57What, you're literally going to be a part of me.

0:05:57 > 0:05:59I think we're way past the friends stage.

0:06:00 > 0:06:02I just meant...

0:06:02 > 0:06:05Just remember, if you can only save one of us,

0:06:05 > 0:06:06it better be me.

0:06:06 > 0:06:10There might be more builders knocking around than academics

0:06:10 > 0:06:13but at least I can make myself useful by putting up a wall.

0:06:13 > 0:06:16I'm not an academic, not yet.

0:06:16 > 0:06:17I'm doing a PhD.

0:06:17 > 0:06:20I didn't even know what a PhD was until I met her.

0:06:20 > 0:06:22Just think, if you were at school together,

0:06:22 > 0:06:25you could have stolen her lunch money and copied her homework.

0:06:25 > 0:06:28Just cos I'm thick doesn't mean I'm a bully.

0:06:28 > 0:06:31No, I didn't mean that...

0:06:31 > 0:06:32Got ya!

0:06:33 > 0:06:35So how did you two meet anyway?

0:06:35 > 0:06:37We met online months ago.

0:06:37 > 0:06:39There are these forums for people waiting on transplants.

0:06:39 > 0:06:41I started going on the forum when Karen,

0:06:41 > 0:06:44my girlfriend at the time, started getting really sick.

0:06:46 > 0:06:48This whole thing was Charlie's idea.

0:06:48 > 0:06:50He's my knight in shining armour.

0:06:50 > 0:06:52Your blood pressure's a little bit high.

0:06:52 > 0:06:55But there's nothing to worry about. We just need to double-check.

0:06:55 > 0:06:58OK? And do some more tests. Meanwhile, just try and relax.

0:07:02 > 0:07:06Is it me or is there a little spark of romance between those two?

0:07:06 > 0:07:09Really? I've never got that impression.

0:07:09 > 0:07:11Oh, please. Come on! They scream rom-com.

0:07:11 > 0:07:14Any minute now she's going to take those glasses off,

0:07:14 > 0:07:16he'll look into her eyes and realise the love of his life

0:07:16 > 0:07:19has been under his nose the entire time.

0:07:19 > 0:07:22We might get an invite to the wedding.

0:07:22 > 0:07:25Have you got five minutes to do something with me?

0:07:25 > 0:07:26Yeah, sure.

0:07:26 > 0:07:28Can I help?

0:07:28 > 0:07:31No, actually, it's Dom's expertise that I need.

0:07:40 > 0:07:42Look, if you're trying to make this evening

0:07:42 > 0:07:46a little less tea party and a bit more house party then I'm your man.

0:07:48 > 0:07:49I'm pregnant.

0:07:50 > 0:07:52What?

0:07:52 > 0:07:54At least, I think I am.

0:07:54 > 0:07:57You've not been disappointed as many times as I've been

0:07:57 > 0:07:59without noticing the little changes

0:07:59 > 0:08:01and there have definitely been changes.

0:08:01 > 0:08:04Right, OK, less "lady business", more symptoms.

0:08:04 > 0:08:09Really headachy. Weird sick feeling in the pit of my stomach.

0:08:09 > 0:08:12Or, as everyone else calls it, a hangover?

0:08:12 > 0:08:13Sore boobs.

0:08:13 > 0:08:15I'll give you that one.

0:08:15 > 0:08:18It feels real this time.

0:08:18 > 0:08:21Aw, Grandad's going to be a daddy again!

0:08:22 > 0:08:23Fingers crossed.

0:08:25 > 0:08:27I need your advice on how to tell him.

0:08:27 > 0:08:30Well, I wouldn't recommend jumping out of a cake.

0:08:30 > 0:08:31Not in your condition.

0:08:32 > 0:08:36After everything we've been through, it needs to be really special.

0:08:39 > 0:08:42Do a test.

0:08:42 > 0:08:46Put it in a box, make sure there's lots of tissue, because...eugh.

0:08:46 > 0:08:49Wrap it up and put it with all the other presents

0:08:49 > 0:08:52and when he opens it - voila.

0:08:53 > 0:08:55One little word...

0:08:57 > 0:08:58BOTH: Pregnant.

0:09:02 > 0:09:03Thank you.

0:09:05 > 0:09:07Hi. Hey.

0:09:07 > 0:09:10You going to Sacha's drinks thing later?

0:09:10 > 0:09:13You grab me within two seconds of stepping on the ward to ask me that?

0:09:13 > 0:09:16Well, actually, no. I've got an urgent mitral valve repair

0:09:16 > 0:09:17and I need you to take care of my patient.

0:09:17 > 0:09:19The drinks thing was just preamble.

0:09:19 > 0:09:21This is just a tactic to put me in the boring bin

0:09:21 > 0:09:23while you charge off and save the world, isn't it?

0:09:23 > 0:09:26Usually, yes. But this is a genuine scheduling problem.

0:09:26 > 0:09:28I've got Betty Lyons.

0:09:28 > 0:09:30Mid-30s, presenting with shortness of breath and

0:09:30 > 0:09:31possible blood in sputum.

0:09:31 > 0:09:34Possible? Well, she doesn't know.

0:09:34 > 0:09:36Quote - "I think I may have had too much to drink."

0:09:36 > 0:09:38I like the sound of her already.

0:09:38 > 0:09:40Yeah. So can I leave it with you? Please?

0:09:40 > 0:09:41Sure. Thank you.

0:09:41 > 0:09:44Oh, and I will be at those drinks and you're buying!

0:09:47 > 0:09:49Hi there.

0:09:49 > 0:09:51I know, I know.

0:09:51 > 0:09:53What's a perfectly nice accountant-type doing

0:09:53 > 0:09:54going paragliding?

0:09:54 > 0:09:56Is it healing OK?

0:09:56 > 0:09:57Yeah.

0:09:57 > 0:10:01You didn't happen to do any other crazy extreme sport

0:10:01 > 0:10:03a few hours before coughing up blood, did you?

0:10:03 > 0:10:06No. I guess that makes it harder for you to figure out what's wrong?

0:10:06 > 0:10:08A little bit, but I'm not complaining.

0:10:10 > 0:10:13You had cervical cancer?

0:10:13 > 0:10:15Two years ago.

0:10:15 > 0:10:18I treat it like a bad boyfriend - move on, don't look back.

0:10:18 > 0:10:22Any chance you can clear me to do a skydive this weekend?

0:10:22 > 0:10:23I've already pre-paid.

0:10:23 > 0:10:26Let me see about getting a nurse to start taking some bloods

0:10:26 > 0:10:28and then we'll see about chucking you out of that plane.

0:10:28 > 0:10:30One step ahead of you.

0:10:30 > 0:10:33Being a coffee expert's not my full-time job, you know.

0:10:33 > 0:10:36Inga Olsen, hospital bank nurse.

0:10:36 > 0:10:37Mo Effanga, consultant.

0:10:37 > 0:10:39Looks like we're going to be seeing a lot more of each other.

0:10:39 > 0:10:42Until you go off on maternity leave, that is.

0:10:48 > 0:10:51SHE SOBS

0:11:07 > 0:11:08'Your thoughts, Ms Campbell?'

0:11:11 > 0:11:13Thoughts. Erm, yes.

0:11:13 > 0:11:14About?

0:11:14 > 0:11:16Violence in the workplace.

0:11:16 > 0:11:20Well, I'd say there ought to be less of it, wouldn't you?

0:11:20 > 0:11:23Which is why you're implementing a zero-tolerance scheme...

0:11:23 > 0:11:25I'm sorry, Henrik. I am on board, I really am.

0:11:25 > 0:11:27It's just that unfortunately, today,

0:11:27 > 0:11:32my mind isn't entirely focused on implementing new procedures.

0:11:32 > 0:11:33It's quite understandable

0:11:33 > 0:11:37that your thoughts would be with Nurse Fletcher.

0:11:37 > 0:11:41So between that and keeping morale up on the ward,

0:11:41 > 0:11:43my day already feels rather overwhelming.

0:11:44 > 0:11:47In times of great stress and confusion,

0:11:47 > 0:11:51I find keeping calm and carrying on to be the best advice.

0:11:51 > 0:11:53How very British of you.

0:11:53 > 0:11:55Right. Well, we'll keep our heads down

0:11:55 > 0:11:58and pretend as if nothing out of the ordinary is happening.

0:11:58 > 0:12:00Speaking of which...

0:12:00 > 0:12:03Birthday card for Sacha Levy. AAU's already signed it.

0:12:05 > 0:12:06Life goes on.

0:12:08 > 0:12:09So I'm fine then?

0:12:10 > 0:12:13Well, your ECG and your blood tests are clear.

0:12:13 > 0:12:16But that doesn't explain your raised blood pressure.

0:12:17 > 0:12:21So have you been feeling anxious about anything recently?

0:12:22 > 0:12:23My girlfriend died.

0:12:29 > 0:12:30We'd been together six years.

0:12:32 > 0:12:37I was thinking about proposing, being with her for ever,

0:12:37 > 0:12:39and then...

0:12:45 > 0:12:46I miss her.

0:12:48 > 0:12:51And I'm not talking about a little bit, or sometimes.

0:12:55 > 0:12:57She's the reason I'm doing this.

0:12:58 > 0:13:02I couldn't save her, but I thought if I could save someone else...

0:13:04 > 0:13:05Oh, Charlie.

0:13:07 > 0:13:09I can only imagine what you've been through.

0:13:11 > 0:13:17Flora has been amazing. If it wasn't for her...

0:13:20 > 0:13:22Sorry.

0:13:22 > 0:13:25I forgot you were a doctor and not an agony aunt for a sec there.

0:13:25 > 0:13:27As you were.

0:13:27 > 0:13:30I hope you won't think I'm prying...

0:13:32 > 0:13:35Did I see a little spark between you and her?

0:13:36 > 0:13:41Now, if you're holding back about telling her how you feel,

0:13:41 > 0:13:44in my experience, honesty's always the best policy.

0:13:46 > 0:13:49We're just good friends. There's nothing there.

0:13:51 > 0:13:53Understood.

0:13:53 > 0:13:55The scan shows that you have a mass on your lung.

0:13:55 > 0:13:57We'll need to do a biopsy as soon as possible,

0:13:57 > 0:13:59to see what we're dealing with.

0:13:59 > 0:14:02Is this the part where you tell me there's thousands of things

0:14:02 > 0:14:04it could be and there's probably nothing to worry about?

0:14:04 > 0:14:08Actually, the best we can hope for is that the mass is benign.

0:14:08 > 0:14:09Benign as in harmless?

0:14:09 > 0:14:11Yeah.

0:14:11 > 0:14:13The position it's in and the fact you're already experiencing

0:14:13 > 0:14:15breathing difficulties would suggest

0:14:15 > 0:14:18that we would need to operate regardless.

0:14:23 > 0:14:25You beat this thing once, remember?

0:14:27 > 0:14:29Except I didn't, as it turns out.

0:14:29 > 0:14:31We don't know that this is the same cancer.

0:14:32 > 0:14:35Just say you can get me through this.

0:14:35 > 0:14:38I'm pretty determined when I put my mind to something.

0:14:38 > 0:14:40Consider yourself my new obsession.

0:14:46 > 0:14:48You asked for an obstetrics consult?

0:14:53 > 0:14:57A-ha - how do you feel about playing referee?

0:14:57 > 0:14:59On a scale of one to ten? Not so good.

0:14:59 > 0:15:00Dom and I are working on a case together...

0:15:00 > 0:15:04If it's a choice between flowers and chocolates as a thank you, then...I'm not your man.

0:15:04 > 0:15:06We can be professional at work, you know.

0:15:06 > 0:15:07Turns out we can even disagree.

0:15:07 > 0:15:09LAUGHS: Ah.

0:15:09 > 0:15:11Mr Pratt's ultrasound.

0:15:11 > 0:15:13We agree he needs a parathyroidectomy

0:15:13 > 0:15:14but Dom wants to go local.

0:15:14 > 0:15:17And you prefer a more formal exploration?

0:15:17 > 0:15:18Care to get in the middle?

0:15:20 > 0:15:21No, thanks.

0:15:21 > 0:15:23Oh, come on, you and Dom are big boys.

0:15:23 > 0:15:25You can work out what's best for your patient.

0:15:25 > 0:15:28Any tips? For working with your partner?

0:15:28 > 0:15:30You and Essie seem to have it pretty sussed.

0:15:30 > 0:15:32It's a trade secret. Sorry.

0:15:38 > 0:15:40Good news.

0:15:40 > 0:15:41The pre-op tests are back for Flora

0:15:41 > 0:15:44and there's no red flags so she's good to go.

0:15:44 > 0:15:45Great.

0:15:47 > 0:15:49Now, I have waited long enough.

0:15:51 > 0:15:53It's time to 'fess up to my present.

0:15:58 > 0:16:00Right, everyone ready?

0:16:00 > 0:16:02You're absolutely sure we shouldn't wait?

0:16:02 > 0:16:06His stats are good. Sorry. Yeah. I'm just...

0:16:06 > 0:16:07We all are.

0:16:07 > 0:16:10With any luck, we'll be high-fiving in a minute.

0:16:10 > 0:16:12BEEPING Something's wrong.

0:16:12 > 0:16:14BP's going through the floor.

0:16:14 > 0:16:17Supraventricular tachychardia. Damn.

0:16:17 > 0:16:19So what do we do now? Press ahead or...?

0:16:19 > 0:16:21It's your call.

0:16:21 > 0:16:23No, it's too risky.

0:16:23 > 0:16:28Let's get a cardiac enzyme, echocardiogram and electrolytes.

0:16:28 > 0:16:30I'll take a view on our next move then.

0:16:36 > 0:16:37Ah, bless.

0:16:37 > 0:16:39They let you keep your job

0:16:39 > 0:16:41despite being the worst doctor in all of Holby?

0:16:41 > 0:16:43Voted rock-bottom six years running.

0:16:43 > 0:16:45You two know each other?

0:16:45 > 0:16:48He saved my life. Hero doesn't even cover it.

0:16:48 > 0:16:50So you've heard about my situation then?

0:16:50 > 0:16:54Yeah, I have, and it wouldn't be one of my three wishes for you

0:16:54 > 0:16:57but you're in good hands with Ms Effanga here.

0:16:59 > 0:17:01We've got your biopsy results.

0:17:04 > 0:17:07The patient can always tell, you know, when it's bad news.

0:17:07 > 0:17:10I'm afraid it's cancer of the lung.

0:17:10 > 0:17:14What we don't know as yet is if it's a primary or secondary tumour.

0:17:14 > 0:17:17Which is where I come in. So we're going to run tests.

0:17:17 > 0:17:21Going to run a lot of tests and see what we're dealing with. OK?

0:17:21 > 0:17:23Which is hopefully nothing.

0:17:23 > 0:17:26Nothing except a nasty bout of lung cancer, you mean?

0:17:28 > 0:17:31When I woke up this morning, I thought getting dressed with

0:17:31 > 0:17:33a sprained wrist would be my biggest challenge.

0:17:33 > 0:17:35Challenge is a good word. Let's hold on to that.

0:17:35 > 0:17:38You just hang tight and I'll organise an ultrasound, OK?

0:17:38 > 0:17:39Whatever it takes.

0:17:39 > 0:17:41Have you called John?

0:17:41 > 0:17:43He's not in the picture any more.

0:17:43 > 0:17:46Unless that picture includes his new girlfriend, of course.

0:17:46 > 0:17:51My choice. I've made my bed, now it's time to...you know.

0:17:53 > 0:17:55Right. OK. Won't be long.

0:17:57 > 0:18:02I'm not letting you out of this room until you tell me what's wrong.

0:18:02 > 0:18:04I actually believed it this time.

0:18:06 > 0:18:08It's tricked me again.

0:18:10 > 0:18:12What's tricked you?

0:18:12 > 0:18:17My body. Stupid, ancient, infertile body.

0:18:29 > 0:18:31I don't think I can do this any more.

0:18:31 > 0:18:35All this strain, all this worry...

0:18:37 > 0:18:38..it'll be worth it in the end.

0:18:41 > 0:18:44I can't make any plans because, in the back of my mind,

0:18:44 > 0:18:47I keep thinking, "What if I'm pregnant then?"

0:18:47 > 0:18:50And I can't be happy for my friends with babies

0:18:50 > 0:18:52because I keep thinking, "Why them and not me?"

0:18:52 > 0:18:55I didn't think trying for a baby would be this stressful.

0:18:57 > 0:19:00Maybe we shouldn't even think about doing IVF...

0:19:02 > 0:19:04And would you be OK about that?

0:19:06 > 0:19:08I don't think I've got a choice.

0:19:12 > 0:19:14Please tell me this is going to be OK?

0:19:23 > 0:19:26(Everything's going to be all right.)

0:19:32 > 0:19:34Serena...

0:19:35 > 0:19:37The lift.

0:19:37 > 0:19:39By which I mean, the awkwardness

0:19:39 > 0:19:41that happened when we were both in...

0:19:41 > 0:19:43Well, you were there.

0:19:43 > 0:19:45Was it awkward? I can't say I noticed.

0:19:45 > 0:19:49I hope you're not worrying about, erm, what happened?

0:19:51 > 0:19:55I love the way that you assume that this is all new to me.

0:19:56 > 0:20:00For your information, I happen once to have kissed a woman

0:20:00 > 0:20:02at a party in Stepney.

0:20:02 > 0:20:06So our little...dalliance is really quite old hat.

0:20:06 > 0:20:09OK, good. Well, I'm glad to hear it.

0:20:09 > 0:20:10So... Back to business.

0:20:10 > 0:20:14Right, what? What am I looking at?

0:20:14 > 0:20:18James Collings' pseudoaneurysm of the splenic artery.

0:20:18 > 0:20:22Looks like it's within a hair's width of rupturing.

0:20:22 > 0:20:27I'm thinking, get in ASAP and do a repair. Any thoughts?

0:20:27 > 0:20:31Well, you don't need my permission to schedule a necessary procedure.

0:20:31 > 0:20:33So... I thought you might want to jump in

0:20:33 > 0:20:35as an interested colleague and friend.

0:20:35 > 0:20:38Probably best take care of yourself.

0:20:38 > 0:20:41It! Take care of it...yourself. Sorry, I'm very, very busy.

0:20:44 > 0:20:46Right, OK, good.

0:20:51 > 0:20:55See what you think of the mass, whether it's metastasis or not.

0:20:55 > 0:20:56OK. I'll have a look at this

0:20:56 > 0:20:58and then see what the ultrasound has to show us.

0:21:01 > 0:21:03Since when were you the one to bear a grudge?

0:21:03 > 0:21:06I just think it's best we don't go back down a well-trodden path, OK?

0:21:06 > 0:21:07What, the path where we're mates

0:21:07 > 0:21:10and there's no atmosphere between us? Oh, come on.

0:21:10 > 0:21:11You were the one who rejected me.

0:21:11 > 0:21:13And I tried to make it up to you, tried to call you,

0:21:13 > 0:21:14you wouldn't speak to me.

0:21:14 > 0:21:17Points for trying, at least? Hanging up on you, yeah,

0:21:17 > 0:21:20was one of the hardest things I've ever done, but I had to, Mo,

0:21:20 > 0:21:22because those first few weeks in Sweden,

0:21:22 > 0:21:25I could barely scrape my face off the floor.

0:21:25 > 0:21:27Then I got my act together,

0:21:27 > 0:21:30I put you to the back of my mind and I got on with things.

0:21:30 > 0:21:33There is no bad blood between us at all, OK?

0:21:33 > 0:21:35I just don't want to look back.

0:21:36 > 0:21:39You know, if I could go back and do things differently...

0:21:39 > 0:21:41Yeah, but honestly, I wouldn't want you to.

0:21:41 > 0:21:44Because maybe you kicking me to the kerb was exactly what I needed.

0:21:44 > 0:21:47Because it made me pick myself up,

0:21:47 > 0:21:51get out there and find someone who actually really wanted me.

0:21:51 > 0:21:53You met someone else?

0:21:54 > 0:21:58If you'd told me then that I'd be back here now, a few months later,

0:21:58 > 0:22:00engaged to be married, I'd have said you needed committing.

0:22:00 > 0:22:01But there you go.

0:22:04 > 0:22:06You're not engaged!

0:22:09 > 0:22:11You're engaged?

0:22:11 > 0:22:13Three weeks and counting.

0:22:13 > 0:22:16It took me a bit by surprise as well, if I'm honest.

0:22:16 > 0:22:17Right.

0:22:17 > 0:22:20So you dumping me was, in many ways,

0:22:20 > 0:22:22the best thing you could have done for me.

0:22:22 > 0:22:24Let's not look back, OK? Mm.

0:22:32 > 0:22:33Now I know, technically,

0:22:33 > 0:22:37I'm the one who's meant to be surprised today, but...

0:22:39 > 0:22:41Ta-dah!

0:22:41 > 0:22:43What's all this?

0:22:43 > 0:22:46Imagine, if you will, this is our house.

0:22:46 > 0:22:48We've got a hammock in the back garden.

0:22:48 > 0:22:50We've got sun constantly shining.

0:22:50 > 0:22:53We can convert an old barn. We could keep...

0:22:55 > 0:22:58..pigs and...

0:23:00 > 0:23:02..sheep. Baa!

0:23:04 > 0:23:05Baa!

0:23:08 > 0:23:09OK, it's a stupid idea.

0:23:09 > 0:23:11Is this really us?

0:23:11 > 0:23:14It could be, if we want it to be.

0:23:14 > 0:23:15You know, we could cut back our hours.

0:23:15 > 0:23:19We could coordinate our shifts, spend more time together.

0:23:20 > 0:23:22We could renovate and raise...

0:23:25 > 0:23:27..sheep.

0:23:29 > 0:23:32I guess this is my crazy way

0:23:32 > 0:23:35of saying there are other things we could do with our lives.

0:23:37 > 0:23:42I mean, if I'm honest, if we're not to have children...

0:23:42 > 0:23:43Which we're not.

0:23:45 > 0:23:48If it was meant to be, it was meant to be.

0:23:50 > 0:23:53We could save ourselves a lot of heartache.

0:23:53 > 0:23:57And we could direct our energies somewhere else.

0:24:04 > 0:24:05No sheep.

0:24:07 > 0:24:08I hate sheep.

0:24:10 > 0:24:12Hens, I can live with.

0:24:12 > 0:24:14Hens, I love hens.

0:24:18 > 0:24:21You're kidding! So the bloke lost a leg?

0:24:21 > 0:24:23Well, he would have, if I hadn't managed to make

0:24:23 > 0:24:25a tourniquet out of some rope he had in his backpack.

0:24:25 > 0:24:28That guy owes you a drink. A big one.

0:24:28 > 0:24:29He took me for dinner, actually.

0:24:29 > 0:24:32After the accident, we went out together for nearly three years.

0:24:32 > 0:24:34Wow.

0:24:34 > 0:24:36Over here, most people's "get together" story starts with,

0:24:36 > 0:24:38"I was wasted..." Yes.

0:24:38 > 0:24:39So you've met Inga then?

0:24:40 > 0:24:42Ice fishing's an actual thing, did you know that?

0:24:42 > 0:24:46He's fascinated. I promised to take him to Sweden some time.

0:24:46 > 0:24:48Not just him. Hopefully all of us.

0:24:48 > 0:24:50Mo's always up for an adventure. Aren't you, Mo?

0:24:50 > 0:24:52Not once the baby arrives, she won't be.

0:24:57 > 0:25:01Not exactly how I planned the big announcement but...

0:25:01 > 0:25:02Yes, 19 weeks gone.

0:25:02 > 0:25:05Soon to be the size of a house birthing a human.

0:25:05 > 0:25:07That's fantastic.

0:25:07 > 0:25:08Thanks.

0:25:08 > 0:25:10Mo...

0:25:11 > 0:25:12..congratulations.

0:25:12 > 0:25:14Am I allowed to ask who the lucky dad-to-be...?

0:25:14 > 0:25:18No! Cos that would be insensitive. Yeah, ignore me.

0:25:19 > 0:25:21All right, back to the grind.

0:25:24 > 0:25:25Mo...

0:25:26 > 0:25:28Did you...? Yeah...

0:25:28 > 0:25:31You've checked the kidney? Completely healthy.

0:25:31 > 0:25:34Good. Come on, Flora. Today's a good day.

0:25:34 > 0:25:35Let's see it continue.

0:25:36 > 0:25:39HE WHISTLES

0:25:58 > 0:26:01Only you could pull off the impossible task of being

0:26:01 > 0:26:04the talk of the hospital without actually being awake.

0:26:06 > 0:26:09Mind you, you're probably doing me a favour.

0:26:09 > 0:26:12Lord knows what they'd be talking about otherwise.

0:26:15 > 0:26:19You'd think I'd be old enough to know better, wouldn't you?

0:26:19 > 0:26:24I mean, how many F1s have I schooled to keep work and love life separate?

0:26:24 > 0:26:27And then I go and break my own rule.

0:26:29 > 0:26:31With Bernie Wolfe, of all people!

0:26:36 > 0:26:39Serena Campbell - lesbian.

0:26:42 > 0:26:46If this gets out, it'll be all over the hospital like a rash,

0:26:46 > 0:26:49especially if Ric Griffin gets hold of it.

0:26:49 > 0:26:51Oh, and then I had to go and lie.

0:26:52 > 0:26:54I didn't kiss a girl in Stepney.

0:26:55 > 0:26:57I've never even been to Stepney.

0:26:59 > 0:27:01Ms Campbell?

0:27:01 > 0:27:02Yes?

0:27:02 > 0:27:06Electrolytes, cardiac enzymes and echocardiogram all normal.

0:27:06 > 0:27:08Good! Good, good, good.

0:27:08 > 0:27:09So what next?

0:27:11 > 0:27:12We try again.

0:27:21 > 0:27:23We are to kidney transplants

0:27:23 > 0:27:26what Cagney and Lacey are to fighting crime.

0:27:26 > 0:27:28You're Cagney, I'm Lacey.

0:27:28 > 0:27:30Really?

0:27:30 > 0:27:32Or some other reference that doesn't instantly date me

0:27:32 > 0:27:34more than my birthday has.

0:27:34 > 0:27:35You have to help me!

0:27:36 > 0:27:39Please get someone, I need to talk to them.

0:27:39 > 0:27:41You need to take it out.

0:27:41 > 0:27:44Get it out of me, I don't want this thing in me!

0:27:44 > 0:27:45Just calm down...

0:27:45 > 0:27:47Why did you have to tell me this?

0:27:47 > 0:27:50It changes everything, why can't you see that?

0:27:50 > 0:27:51Flora? Try and calm down.

0:27:51 > 0:27:55He gave me his kidney under false pretences and now I don't want it.

0:27:55 > 0:27:58I took your advice, I told her I loved her.

0:27:58 > 0:28:01It didn't work out. So...nice one.

0:28:02 > 0:28:04Your advice?!

0:28:04 > 0:28:08Tell whoever you need to tell, I want this kidney out of me.

0:28:11 > 0:28:13Ah.

0:28:14 > 0:28:18Mo? Just wanted to say congratulations again.

0:28:18 > 0:28:20Thanks.

0:28:20 > 0:28:23I'm sorry about how it came out, I know Inga feels terrible about it.

0:28:23 > 0:28:25Since when were you two best of mates?

0:28:25 > 0:28:29Well, sometimes you have that rare connection with people

0:28:29 > 0:28:31and I think she'll fit in well around here.

0:28:31 > 0:28:34Yeah, except she knew that I hadn't told anyone about the baby

0:28:34 > 0:28:36and yet...whoops, out it comes.

0:28:36 > 0:28:39All I'm saying is, this butter-wouldn't-melt act,

0:28:39 > 0:28:41it's a little too good to be true.

0:28:41 > 0:28:44It was an accident. I doubt she'd do something like that on purpose.

0:28:44 > 0:28:47Don't let the hormones get the better of you, OK?

0:28:47 > 0:28:49Hey! You...

0:28:49 > 0:28:51Oh, Mo. I've got some news.

0:28:51 > 0:28:54Heard back from the lab and it looks as if Betty is TTF positive.

0:28:54 > 0:28:58Right. So it's definitely a primary cancer of the lung.

0:28:58 > 0:29:00Yeah. Yeah, looks like the cervical cancer hasn't returned.

0:29:00 > 0:29:02Nice. Yeah, I know, I know.

0:29:02 > 0:29:05You know, hold the bunting, she's still got cancer

0:29:05 > 0:29:07but as silver linings go,

0:29:07 > 0:29:08I'll take one tumour over two any day.

0:29:08 > 0:29:10Now we've got our grubby mitts off,

0:29:10 > 0:29:12you can start looking at surgical options.

0:29:12 > 0:29:15And, I mean, I know you would anyway, but...

0:29:15 > 0:29:16Please, do a good job on this one.

0:29:16 > 0:29:19She's been through a lot, you know, I'd hate it to get worse for her.

0:29:19 > 0:29:21Roger that.

0:29:21 > 0:29:22OK.

0:29:22 > 0:29:24Hey. That hot new hospital bank nurse.

0:29:24 > 0:29:27I know everyone thinks she's the bee's knees

0:29:27 > 0:29:29but there's something about her I just can't put my finger on.

0:29:29 > 0:29:31I know you're joking and everything

0:29:31 > 0:29:33but I really do not find that funny at all.

0:29:33 > 0:29:34Huh?

0:29:34 > 0:29:36Just drop it.

0:29:36 > 0:29:38Derwood! Hey!

0:29:38 > 0:29:40Hey! Hey!

0:29:40 > 0:29:42Puss, puss.

0:29:42 > 0:29:43Work kiss.

0:29:45 > 0:29:46She's your fiancee?!

0:29:46 > 0:29:48Yeah.

0:29:49 > 0:29:51Congrats.

0:29:52 > 0:29:56Aw, thank you. Hey, what's Swedish for tie?

0:29:56 > 0:29:58Slips. Slips!

0:29:58 > 0:30:00He thinks he loves me.

0:30:04 > 0:30:07I thought I knew why he was doing this, I...

0:30:07 > 0:30:10You know we can't reverse it, don't you?

0:30:12 > 0:30:14I thought he was doing it to draw a line

0:30:14 > 0:30:16under his relationship with Karen.

0:30:16 > 0:30:20How do I know he didn't consent just because he has feelings for me?

0:30:20 > 0:30:22Good point.

0:30:24 > 0:30:25If I'd known before the operation,

0:30:25 > 0:30:28I'd never have allowed him to go through with it.

0:30:29 > 0:30:31Mr Levy? A word.

0:30:37 > 0:30:38How long before...?

0:30:41 > 0:30:43Never mind.

0:30:43 > 0:30:47Well, hello, Fletch. I must say I'm glad to see you.

0:30:47 > 0:30:49Fletch? Fletcher?

0:30:49 > 0:30:50FAINT: Fletch?

0:30:50 > 0:30:52He's disorientated.

0:30:52 > 0:30:54It's all right, Fletch. It's OK. HE CHOKES AND COUGHS

0:30:54 > 0:30:56Calm down, you're in ITU. It's Serena here.

0:30:56 > 0:30:59Everything's going to be fine, Raf's got the kids, just relax.

0:30:59 > 0:31:01Relax, and we'll get you extubated.

0:31:01 > 0:31:04OK, that's it. Well done. There we are.

0:31:06 > 0:31:07So you didn't suspect that Charlie

0:31:07 > 0:31:10had more feelings for Flora than he was letting on?

0:31:11 > 0:31:12Sacha!

0:31:14 > 0:31:19I wasn't sure. And it's not my place to pry.

0:31:19 > 0:31:20But it IS your place.

0:31:20 > 0:31:23Raising concerns about whether a patient is consenting

0:31:23 > 0:31:25to a procedure for the right reasons...

0:31:25 > 0:31:26They both consented.

0:31:26 > 0:31:30Have you any idea how damaging it is for a patient to receive an organ

0:31:30 > 0:31:32that they see as tainted in some way?

0:31:32 > 0:31:36At the end of the day, Charlie did something wonderful

0:31:36 > 0:31:38for someone he loves, and...

0:31:38 > 0:31:40Flora's off the transplant list.

0:31:40 > 0:31:42Oh, you always do this!

0:31:44 > 0:31:46You can't just be Mr Bright Side all the time, Sacha!

0:31:49 > 0:31:52You know, sometimes the glass really is half-empty.

0:31:55 > 0:31:56I was just...

0:31:57 > 0:32:01..trying to do the best for everyone, that's all.

0:32:03 > 0:32:04You always do.

0:32:08 > 0:32:10You gave us all quite a shock.

0:32:10 > 0:32:11HE CHUCKLES WEAKLY

0:32:13 > 0:32:15Thanks, by the way.

0:32:15 > 0:32:18Well, the whole team pulled together.

0:32:20 > 0:32:24Now, here's an interesting avenue for discussion.

0:32:24 > 0:32:27Some patients report having being able to hear everything

0:32:27 > 0:32:30that was said to them while they were under.

0:32:30 > 0:32:32Others, not so much.

0:32:32 > 0:32:34Where do you stand on the debate?

0:32:35 > 0:32:38Oh, come on, it's a simple enough question.

0:32:38 > 0:32:42People were in and out of here the whole time while you were under.

0:32:42 > 0:32:45Do you, eh, do you remember anything of what was said?

0:32:45 > 0:32:49I'm asking from a purely scientific point of view, you understand.

0:32:51 > 0:32:53I don't remember a thing.

0:32:54 > 0:32:57So whatever it is that you're waffling on about...

0:32:58 > 0:33:00Nah.

0:33:01 > 0:33:05Lying there, knowing that I was bleeding out...

0:33:06 > 0:33:10..thinking I that I might never see the kids again...

0:33:10 > 0:33:12Put everything into perspective, I imagine.

0:33:12 > 0:33:13Yeah.

0:33:14 > 0:33:17Well, I won't be wasting much time worrying about the small stuff.

0:33:21 > 0:33:24You coming to Sacha's birthday thing later?

0:33:24 > 0:33:27Hadn't planned on it, but why not?

0:33:27 > 0:33:30We can make it a joint celebration. We couldn't impose, honestly.

0:33:30 > 0:33:32Oh, don't be silly.

0:33:32 > 0:33:34Sacha will be glad to have someone to distract

0:33:34 > 0:33:36from his impending old age.

0:33:36 > 0:33:39And it'll be a triple celebration. That was Morven - Fletch is awake.

0:33:39 > 0:33:42Thank goodness. Fletch is...?

0:33:42 > 0:33:45Oh, he's a supremely gobby nurse on AAU. He got stabbed.

0:33:45 > 0:33:47He's just coming round from his sedation.

0:33:47 > 0:33:49Sounds like a few drinks are in order, then.

0:33:49 > 0:33:51LAUGHING: Yeah, and I can't wait to show you off.

0:33:51 > 0:33:53INGA LAUGHS

0:33:53 > 0:33:54And the rock. Don't forget the rock.

0:33:54 > 0:33:57It's supposed to be one month's salary, not ten years' worth.

0:33:57 > 0:33:59Yeah, well, what can I say?

0:33:59 > 0:34:01She deserves nothing less.

0:34:01 > 0:34:02Mwah.

0:34:02 > 0:34:05SHE PRETENDS TO BE SICK Not you. Sorry.

0:34:05 > 0:34:07Mo!

0:34:07 > 0:34:11Engagement drinks at Albie's later. Triple celebrations!

0:34:11 > 0:34:13Oh, sorry, I should have said quadruple.

0:34:13 > 0:34:15We have to toast the baby Effanga.

0:34:20 > 0:34:23Yeah, I forgot there was something I was supposed to mention.

0:34:30 > 0:34:31Hi.

0:34:31 > 0:34:34Look, I'm really sorry that we had to move you from the HDU, but...

0:34:36 > 0:34:38But you thought it would be better if me and Flora

0:34:38 > 0:34:40had a bit of distance.

0:34:42 > 0:34:46Charlie, if I had any part to play in this, I'm sorry.

0:34:46 > 0:34:50Mate, the only thing you did was fix her.

0:34:50 > 0:34:53I did the rest. I should have kept my mouth shut.

0:34:54 > 0:34:57You don't think all this stress is going to affect her, do you?

0:34:57 > 0:35:02Obviously, stress of any kind post-op isn't good,

0:35:02 > 0:35:05but there's no reason to believe Flora won't recover as expected.

0:35:07 > 0:35:09I've, eh, just checked Flora's urine output.

0:35:09 > 0:35:12Virtually zero for the past few hours.

0:35:12 > 0:35:14Set up for an urgent ultrasound scan.

0:35:19 > 0:35:23She's rejecting it. Mind over matter.

0:35:23 > 0:35:24She doesn't want my kidney,

0:35:24 > 0:35:26so her body's going to fight against it.

0:35:26 > 0:35:30Right now, it could be anything. Just try not to worry, OK?

0:35:30 > 0:35:32HE SIGHS

0:35:32 > 0:35:33Hey.

0:35:33 > 0:35:37So we've got the images of your tumour.

0:35:37 > 0:35:40First of all, I need to say that it IS operable,

0:35:40 > 0:35:43so that's obviously good news.

0:35:43 > 0:35:47Operable, as in you cut it out, I cool my heels in here

0:35:47 > 0:35:51for a bit eating hospital food and we all go home happy?

0:35:51 > 0:35:53The position of the tumour, it's...

0:35:53 > 0:35:56It's not ideal. OK.

0:35:59 > 0:36:01The tumour's position is very close to your aorta

0:36:01 > 0:36:05and your recurrent laryngeal nerve, just there.

0:36:05 > 0:36:07Now, removing it without damage is...

0:36:11 > 0:36:14Listen, I'm good. Really good.

0:36:14 > 0:36:17But this is an incredibly intricate procedure.

0:36:17 > 0:36:20And what does this nerve do exactly?

0:36:20 > 0:36:24It enables you to make sounds. To speak, in other words.

0:36:25 > 0:36:28And what happens if you don't do anything?

0:36:28 > 0:36:30Can't you just keep an eye on the tumour?

0:36:30 > 0:36:32It might not get any bigger. Or there's chemo?

0:36:32 > 0:36:35If we don't do the surgery, you'll have six months,

0:36:35 > 0:36:36if you're lucky.

0:36:36 > 0:36:39Doing nothing isn't an option.

0:36:39 > 0:36:41And I might not be able to speak?

0:36:41 > 0:36:44To anyone? At all? Possibly not.

0:36:46 > 0:36:47I am so sorry.

0:36:49 > 0:36:50SHE SIGHS HEAVILY

0:36:52 > 0:36:55Is there anyone you'd like us to call?

0:36:55 > 0:36:57Mr Thompson mentioned a John?

0:36:58 > 0:37:02BREATHLESSLY: I'm the last person... he'd want to hear from.

0:37:04 > 0:37:07When your wife announces her post-cancer fresh start

0:37:07 > 0:37:09doesn't include you, that's pretty much all you need to hear.

0:37:09 > 0:37:12If you were my ex, I'd want to know.

0:37:13 > 0:37:14I broke his heart.

0:37:18 > 0:37:20He'd probably just hang up on me, anyway, so...

0:37:22 > 0:37:25Sorry, excuse me. Mo, can I have a word, please?

0:37:27 > 0:37:29Listen, we don't have to do the surgery for a day or so.

0:37:31 > 0:37:33Think about giving him a call.

0:37:39 > 0:37:40SHE EXHALES DEEPLY

0:37:44 > 0:37:48Reverse flow in the renal vein. Yes.

0:37:48 > 0:37:50So I'm not rejecting the kidney? No, which is good news.

0:37:50 > 0:37:53But we need to get you to theatre ASAP to restore that flow of blood.

0:37:53 > 0:37:56I'll get the theatre team prepped. Great.

0:37:56 > 0:37:59Charlie - I have to tell him I'm sorry, explain.

0:37:59 > 0:38:00You can talk to him after the procedure, OK?

0:38:00 > 0:38:02It can't wait, I'm sorry.

0:38:04 > 0:38:07Oh, eh, h-how's he doing?

0:38:07 > 0:38:11He's not speaking quite as quickly as usual, but he'll get there.

0:38:11 > 0:38:12Good old Fletch. Yes.

0:38:12 > 0:38:14Morven's letting Raf and the kids know.

0:38:14 > 0:38:16The children will be over the moon.

0:38:16 > 0:38:18Mm, I can't imagine what they must have been thinking.

0:38:18 > 0:38:21Especially having lost their mother.

0:38:25 > 0:38:27So, a splenic artery aneurysm repair?

0:38:27 > 0:38:30That's ambitious, even for someone of your talents.

0:38:30 > 0:38:33I didn't think you were interested.

0:38:33 > 0:38:36No, well, I may have been slightly too preoccupied

0:38:36 > 0:38:39with wishing myself dead to act professionally.

0:38:39 > 0:38:41Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't mean that, it's just...

0:38:45 > 0:38:50This isn't easy for me. I haven't..

0:38:50 > 0:38:52You're the first.

0:38:57 > 0:38:59I've never been more than friends with a woman before

0:38:59 > 0:39:01and you've terrified the life out of me.

0:39:01 > 0:39:03Happy?

0:39:03 > 0:39:06What happened to the lucky lady in, erm, Stratford?

0:39:06 > 0:39:08Stevenage. Stepney. Yep.

0:39:08 > 0:39:11Yeah, that was a lie to save my blushes.

0:39:11 > 0:39:12It was idiotic of me, I know.

0:39:18 > 0:39:22Well...if I promise not to turn theatre

0:39:22 > 0:39:27into a Sapphic angst fest, will you lend a hand?

0:39:27 > 0:39:29I'd be glad to.

0:39:30 > 0:39:32SHE CHUCKLES SOFTLY

0:39:35 > 0:39:37I'm really sorry to drag you out here,

0:39:37 > 0:39:40and I apologise too if this is a bit presumptuous,

0:39:40 > 0:39:42but the timing of...

0:39:42 > 0:39:43It...

0:39:45 > 0:39:46It's not yours.

0:39:48 > 0:39:52Anonymous sperm donor number 567.

0:39:52 > 0:39:54He's got ginger hair,

0:39:54 > 0:39:58he's got a Mensa-level IQ and likes fly fishing.

0:39:58 > 0:40:00HE LAUGHS

0:40:00 > 0:40:02It's good to mix it up a bit, isn't it?

0:40:05 > 0:40:06Yeah, yeah.

0:40:09 > 0:40:12You'll have to forgive me if I say this...really wasn't a conversation

0:40:12 > 0:40:14I wanted to have with the woman of my dreams.

0:40:14 > 0:40:16I mean, I wouldn't have left you in the lurch

0:40:16 > 0:40:19or anything like that, obviously.

0:40:19 > 0:40:21But...

0:40:21 > 0:40:27This is just easier. It's better for everyone, isn't it?

0:40:27 > 0:40:30Yeah. All's well that ends well.

0:40:32 > 0:40:33SHE LAUGHS AWKWARDLY

0:40:37 > 0:40:39HE SIGHS

0:40:40 > 0:40:43So...me and Inga...

0:40:43 > 0:40:45You are happy for me, aren't you?

0:40:48 > 0:40:51I mean, I know a lot of rather nasty water

0:40:51 > 0:40:53has gone under the bridge and everything,

0:40:53 > 0:40:59but I would dearly like us, you and me, to be friends.

0:40:59 > 0:41:01If we can.

0:41:02 > 0:41:04Yeah, course!

0:41:06 > 0:41:08Look, you better invite me to the big day,

0:41:08 > 0:41:09and even if you don't, I'll turn up,

0:41:09 > 0:41:12because any excuse to wear a hat, and I'm there.

0:41:12 > 0:41:14HE LAUGHS

0:41:25 > 0:41:27Right, well, I... Yeah. Yeah.

0:41:29 > 0:41:31Fogarty catheter is in.

0:41:40 > 0:41:41Heparin saline?

0:41:41 > 0:41:43If you would.

0:41:53 > 0:41:55Damn. It's damaged the anastomosis.

0:41:56 > 0:41:58SHE COUGHS

0:41:58 > 0:42:01It's OK. Talk to me.

0:42:01 > 0:42:03Sudden onset. I think it might be bleeding from the tumour.

0:42:03 > 0:42:06OK, we need to get you into theatre right now.

0:42:06 > 0:42:08We can't wait. You understand?

0:42:08 > 0:42:11Let's go, guys. Do you need me? I've got it, thanks.

0:42:15 > 0:42:17I bet everyone wants their last words

0:42:17 > 0:42:19to be something witty, don't they?

0:42:19 > 0:42:20Memorable.

0:42:20 > 0:42:22Actually, most people usually stick with the old favourites.

0:42:22 > 0:42:25You know, "I love you", "I'm sorry."

0:42:25 > 0:42:27If there really is nothing left to say

0:42:27 > 0:42:29between you and John, then that's fine.

0:42:29 > 0:42:31But if you've missed him

0:42:31 > 0:42:34or you think you've made a mistake, then...

0:42:34 > 0:42:37I thought I needed to find something else to do with my life.

0:42:37 > 0:42:39Something more exciting.

0:42:41 > 0:42:44Every day since I've left, all I've wanted to do is go home.

0:42:44 > 0:42:46Then tell him. Tell him all of it.

0:42:52 > 0:42:53Go!

0:43:03 > 0:43:05Doc?

0:43:05 > 0:43:09Tell me she's all right. Please, I've been worried sick.

0:43:09 > 0:43:11She's not rejecting the kidney.

0:43:11 > 0:43:14It was renal vein thrombosis and I've fixed it in theatre.

0:43:14 > 0:43:16So she's fine.

0:43:16 > 0:43:18HE EXHALES

0:43:21 > 0:43:26You... You probably think I'm daft, but just cos she doesn't want me...

0:43:28 > 0:43:30The feelings don't go away, you know what I mean?

0:43:33 > 0:43:36Actually, when the chips were down,

0:43:36 > 0:43:38the only person she wanted to talk to was you.

0:43:41 > 0:43:46She'll be awake in a few minutes. Do you...want to see her?

0:43:46 > 0:43:48Yeah.

0:43:48 > 0:43:49THEY LAUGH

0:43:57 > 0:44:01OVER INTERCOM: Mo? I heard about the rush. How's she doing?

0:44:01 > 0:44:04Pressure's holding. I'm almost done with the tumour.

0:44:08 > 0:44:11Please tell me she got a chance to talk to her husband?

0:44:17 > 0:44:18OK, final bit...

0:44:20 > 0:44:21Swab.

0:44:27 > 0:44:28Come on.

0:44:34 > 0:44:36Bleeding's stopped.

0:44:36 > 0:44:383-0 Prolene, please.

0:44:47 > 0:44:48Hey.

0:44:49 > 0:44:50Hey.

0:44:52 > 0:44:54Tell me to go if you want.

0:44:55 > 0:44:57What am I saying? It's not like you've been too shy

0:44:57 > 0:45:00about that sort of thing up until now anyway.

0:45:00 > 0:45:02I need to explain...

0:45:04 > 0:45:08We're different people. We want different things.

0:45:09 > 0:45:12What are the chances of someone like you wanting

0:45:12 > 0:45:13to be with someone like me anyway, eh?

0:45:18 > 0:45:19But I do.

0:45:23 > 0:45:24More than anything.

0:45:25 > 0:45:29That's why I wouldn't have let you donate your kidney to me.

0:45:29 > 0:45:31It's more important to me that we start our life together

0:45:31 > 0:45:33on an even keel.

0:45:33 > 0:45:37No obligations. No...debts.

0:45:39 > 0:45:42When you're with someone properly, all there is are debts.

0:45:43 > 0:45:45You just don't look at it that way.

0:45:47 > 0:45:51So, what do you reckon? Shall we give this thing a go?

0:46:43 > 0:46:45Hi. Hi.

0:46:51 > 0:46:52How you feeling?

0:46:54 > 0:46:57Good. You're going to be sore for a few weeks,

0:46:57 > 0:46:59and probably won't be able to say much until then,

0:46:59 > 0:47:03but by the sounds of it, after that you will.

0:47:03 > 0:47:04Thank you.

0:47:08 > 0:47:11So...ready to make that call now?

0:47:18 > 0:47:20You dial. I'll talk.

0:47:22 > 0:47:25Lovely. There we are, inside the lesser sac.

0:47:25 > 0:47:27Do you want to tie off the artery?

0:47:27 > 0:47:30How about we take a side each?

0:47:32 > 0:47:353-0 Prolene for me and Miss Campbell, please.

0:47:40 > 0:47:44Do you, eh, do you fancy a drink later?

0:47:45 > 0:47:47If you're buying, I'm in.

0:47:52 > 0:47:55LAUGHTER AND CHATTER, MUSIC PLAYS

0:47:58 > 0:48:00ALL: Wahey!

0:48:00 > 0:48:02I did try to tell everyone you were far too grumpy

0:48:02 > 0:48:05for this kind of thing, but they wouldn't listen.

0:48:05 > 0:48:06Welcome to the...

0:48:06 > 0:48:08HE MUTTERS: ..over-50s club.

0:48:08 > 0:48:11Thank you very much. And let's not forget Fletch.

0:48:11 > 0:48:14He'd want us to have a knees-up in honour of him,

0:48:14 > 0:48:15especially now he's on the mend.

0:48:15 > 0:48:18Hear, hear. Jac sends her apologies.

0:48:18 > 0:48:19Really?

0:48:19 > 0:48:22Uh, "Tell Sacha sorry, but I'd rather shoot myself in the face'"

0:48:22 > 0:48:23LAUGHTER

0:48:23 > 0:48:26That counts, doesn't it? Yeah, that sounds about right.

0:48:26 > 0:48:28She did actually give us 50 quid to slip behind the bar,

0:48:28 > 0:48:30so it's not all bad.

0:48:30 > 0:48:33Yeah, that may have pretty much gone.

0:48:33 > 0:48:36I had a thirst for bubbles, sorry.

0:48:36 > 0:48:38What did you do?

0:48:38 > 0:48:40Mo? Hm?

0:48:40 > 0:48:42I hear congratulations are in order.

0:48:42 > 0:48:44Word's definitely got round then.

0:48:44 > 0:48:46To be honest, there's about a dozen things I need more

0:48:46 > 0:48:50than a baby right now, but when life gives you lemons, make lemonade.

0:48:51 > 0:48:53Excuse me.

0:48:55 > 0:48:58So have you sorted your differences out?

0:48:58 > 0:49:00Well, we've made a pact.

0:49:00 > 0:49:02We leave our personal life at the door on the way in

0:49:02 > 0:49:05and our professional disputes on the way out.

0:49:05 > 0:49:07Plus, he's finally come round to my way of thinking.

0:49:07 > 0:49:10We're doing an exploration AND parathyroidectomy tomorrow.

0:49:10 > 0:49:11More drinks?

0:49:13 > 0:49:14This one I'll give him,

0:49:14 > 0:49:16but the next one I fight to the death.

0:49:20 > 0:49:22Happy birthday.

0:49:23 > 0:49:26It's not the gift that I wanted to give you,

0:49:26 > 0:49:28but...it's the thought that counts.

0:49:32 > 0:49:34(That's great.)

0:49:36 > 0:49:38Can we go somewhere quiet?

0:49:46 > 0:49:49A soft drink doesn't exactly scream celebration,

0:49:49 > 0:49:50but given the circumstances...

0:49:50 > 0:49:53Thanks. You heard about Betty then?

0:49:53 > 0:49:56Yeah! She speaks! I knew you could do it.

0:49:56 > 0:49:58Well, that makes one of us.

0:49:58 > 0:50:00Who am I kidding? When you're this awesome, why pretend?

0:50:00 > 0:50:02HE LAUGHS

0:50:02 > 0:50:03Seriously, well done, Mo.

0:50:05 > 0:50:09So what are we going to tackle next, then, eh? The Middle East?

0:50:09 > 0:50:11Actually, there is something we could do together.

0:50:11 > 0:50:13If you're up for it.

0:50:16 > 0:50:20Well? Go on, then, don't leave me hanging.

0:50:20 > 0:50:21Derwood!

0:50:23 > 0:50:26Hey! Mwah.

0:50:27 > 0:50:30I booked us a table at that Thai place on the high street.

0:50:30 > 0:50:33Ohh. Fancy joining us?

0:50:33 > 0:50:36I've already got plans. Thanks, though.

0:50:37 > 0:50:40Hej da. Hej da!

0:50:41 > 0:50:42Hej da, everyone!

0:50:50 > 0:50:55A future with you - any future - is all I've ever wanted.

0:50:55 > 0:50:57Then let's do it.

0:50:59 > 0:51:02I've told you, children aren't everything to us.

0:51:04 > 0:51:05Yet.

0:51:12 > 0:51:18What about in ten years' time when I'm walking Rachel down the aisle?

0:51:18 > 0:51:24Or Daniel has come to stay with us in the holidays and you realise...?

0:51:28 > 0:51:33You realise that I have the best of both worlds

0:51:33 > 0:51:38and that I have robbed you of the chance of being a mum.

0:51:38 > 0:51:42You've not robbed me of anything. No-one has.

0:51:43 > 0:51:46Unless you count Mother Nature.

0:51:50 > 0:51:53So you admit that you would have a child if you thought you could?

0:52:00 > 0:52:03You see, there. It's that pause.

0:52:05 > 0:52:07You don't want to give up on this.

0:52:09 > 0:52:12You're scared it won't happen, and it may never happen,

0:52:12 > 0:52:14but you have to try.

0:52:16 > 0:52:20Otherwise, how could you ever live with yourself?

0:52:23 > 0:52:25So we do IVF.

0:52:33 > 0:52:34If I'm honest...

0:52:39 > 0:52:42..this child wasn't something that I ever wanted.

0:52:45 > 0:52:46I wanted it for you.

0:52:53 > 0:52:54SHE CLEARS HER THROAT

0:53:04 > 0:53:06Close the door.

0:53:11 > 0:53:14Drinking in the hospital? You are a rebel.

0:53:14 > 0:53:17Takes one to know one. My kind of girl.

0:53:17 > 0:53:19If you're trying to tie me in knots, then...

0:53:19 > 0:53:25No, Serena, Serena... That's the last thing I want.

0:53:26 > 0:53:29I... SHE CLEARS HER THROAT

0:53:29 > 0:53:33I kissed you because I wanted to, and beyond that,

0:53:33 > 0:53:34I wasn't really thinking.

0:53:34 > 0:53:36Me neither. Needless to say.

0:53:38 > 0:53:45I can see how uncomfortable the whole thing is making you, so...

0:53:47 > 0:53:52..I think we should toast our undeniable sexual chemistry...

0:53:54 > 0:53:56..and say no more about it.

0:53:58 > 0:54:01Y-You want to forget it ever happened.

0:54:02 > 0:54:04Well...

0:54:07 > 0:54:09..I think it's wise.

0:54:11 > 0:54:13Me - messy divorce.

0:54:13 > 0:54:17You - dyed-in-the-wool heterosexual.

0:54:17 > 0:54:20As romances go, it's a bit of a non-starter.

0:54:20 > 0:54:22Yes, not exactly Mills Boon, is it?

0:54:23 > 0:54:25We do make a great team, though.

0:54:30 > 0:54:33Here's to keeping it confined to theatre.

0:54:33 > 0:54:34GLASSES CLINK

0:54:43 > 0:54:46So you've just been pretending the whole time?

0:54:46 > 0:54:50You should have told me this before now.

0:54:50 > 0:54:51I know.

0:54:52 > 0:54:54Why didn't you?

0:54:59 > 0:55:01Because I love you.

0:55:03 > 0:55:06And I would do anything to make you happy.

0:55:11 > 0:55:15And if I could have told you I that was pregnant today?

0:55:18 > 0:55:20We'd be celebrating.

0:55:23 > 0:55:25No.

0:55:27 > 0:55:28I'd be celebrating.

0:55:29 > 0:55:31You'd just be trying to get used to the idea.

0:55:39 > 0:55:42You deserve to live the life you want.

0:55:46 > 0:55:49But the things that I want aren't the same...

0:55:51 > 0:55:53..as the things that you want.

0:56:01 > 0:56:04TEARFUL: Are we really doing what I think we're doing?

0:56:21 > 0:56:22I want you to be happy.

0:56:26 > 0:56:28Even if that means...

0:56:29 > 0:56:31..us not being together.

0:56:39 > 0:56:41THEY SNIFFLE

0:56:53 > 0:56:54What are we going to do now?

0:56:59 > 0:57:02We're going to go back to your party...

0:57:02 > 0:57:05HE LAUGHS RUEFULLY

0:57:05 > 0:57:07..and celebrate your birthday.

0:57:49 > 0:57:49BEEPING
