0:00:02 > 0:00:04'Does she like anyone in this hospital at all?'

0:00:04 > 0:00:06Look, she doesn't suffer fools gladly.

0:00:06 > 0:00:08The trick is, never take it personally.

0:00:08 > 0:00:10Have you had much experience with that?

0:00:10 > 0:00:12I've split up with my husband.

0:00:12 > 0:00:15He had an affair with me for months.

0:00:15 > 0:00:17I can tell you, he definitely wanted to do that.

0:00:17 > 0:00:20I don't want anything to happen to you.

0:00:22 > 0:00:25First a surgeon, then an anaesthetist

0:00:25 > 0:00:27then an intrepid traveller and now back to surgery.

0:00:27 > 0:00:30You can see my reservations about your commitment.

0:00:30 > 0:00:32But whatever the outcome, Dr Law, be warned.

0:00:32 > 0:00:35This will be your last career change at Holby.

0:01:18 > 0:01:20Aw, mate, I owe you one.

0:01:20 > 0:01:21Hey! Oi!

0:01:21 > 0:01:23I need the carbs, big day for the Lawman.

0:01:23 > 0:01:26You do realise talking about yourself in the third person

0:01:26 > 0:01:28is the first sign of insanity?

0:01:28 > 0:01:30Insanity, genius. Fine line, amigo.

0:01:30 > 0:01:32- Cheers, cheers.- Ah-ha.

0:01:32 > 0:01:33Thank you.

0:01:35 > 0:01:38Is it too much to ask that when you roll in at 2am

0:01:38 > 0:01:40with your lover boy, you refrain from waking me?

0:01:40 > 0:01:43Why so grumpy, Moley? Do you feel left out?

0:01:43 > 0:01:46No. It's a question of respect.

0:01:46 > 0:01:47# R-E-S-P-E-C-T! #

0:01:47 > 0:01:49OK, I'm a serious person with a serious job,

0:01:49 > 0:01:52and my team respect me, so I'd quite like...

0:01:52 > 0:01:53Hiya, Dom!

0:01:53 > 0:01:55- Hey.- Diggers. Move.

0:01:57 > 0:02:01Yeah. Yeah, that's a lot of respect, right there.

0:02:17 > 0:02:18Mr Law.

0:02:18 > 0:02:19Morning.

0:02:19 > 0:02:21Oh, Mr Hanssen, you're here.

0:02:21 > 0:02:24Remarkably observant for such an early hour.

0:02:24 > 0:02:25You're operating today.

0:02:25 > 0:02:27Ooh, now we're entering the realms of the savant.

0:02:27 > 0:02:28Funny!

0:02:28 > 0:02:30Any objections?

0:02:30 > 0:02:32- To?- My presence in theatre.

0:02:32 > 0:02:34- No, no, no. Absolutely not. - Now there's a relief.

0:02:34 > 0:02:37- It's great to see you getting the old knives and forks out.- Really?

0:02:37 > 0:02:39Especially on my last day's probation.

0:02:39 > 0:02:41Ah, now, I assure you that is purely coincidental.

0:02:41 > 0:02:44I've only had the pleasure from an anaesthetist's point of view.

0:02:44 > 0:02:46Who said that's about to change?

0:02:50 > 0:02:52Sacha, my man.

0:02:53 > 0:02:55You all right?

0:02:55 > 0:02:58You all right? Come on, what are you after?

0:02:58 > 0:03:00What makes you think I'm after anything?

0:03:00 > 0:03:02Spit it out.

0:03:02 > 0:03:05The theatre list is up, yeah?

0:03:05 > 0:03:06Yeah.

0:03:06 > 0:03:09Please tell me I'm on the assist for Hanssen's caseload.

0:03:09 > 0:03:13- I think Dom is in the frame for that.- No, not Dom!

0:03:13 > 0:03:14'Fraid so.

0:03:14 > 0:03:16But my need is greater than Dom's.

0:03:16 > 0:03:18Why is your need greater than Dom's?

0:03:18 > 0:03:20Do I really have to tell you?

0:03:20 > 0:03:22Oh, yes. Yes, sorry. Yes.

0:03:22 > 0:03:23Oh, come on, mate, help me out.

0:03:23 > 0:03:25It's all sorted.

0:03:25 > 0:03:26Sacha, please, I need this.

0:03:26 > 0:03:28If I could I would, but I can't.

0:03:34 > 0:03:38Minions. Ever wondered what it feels like to win the lottery?

0:03:38 > 0:03:41- Uh, yes. Standard.- Sometimes. - Well, today is the opposite.

0:03:41 > 0:03:44St James' have had a power cut, you know what that means.

0:03:44 > 0:03:46Wheel them in, wheel them out, ASAP.

0:03:46 > 0:03:49Now, Mr Orson, bay three. Who's going to help me with...

0:03:49 > 0:03:52Um... Can I help?

0:03:52 > 0:03:54Cardiothoracics is a bit more technical than casts

0:03:54 > 0:03:56and kidney dishes.

0:03:56 > 0:03:58Well, lucky then that I spent five years

0:03:58 > 0:04:01nursing at the National Heart under Harriet Spencer-Lamb.

0:04:01 > 0:04:03Cardiothoracics is my passion.

0:04:03 > 0:04:04I didn't know that.

0:04:04 > 0:04:06You didn't ask. Shall I...?

0:04:06 > 0:04:08Read on. I need to change.

0:04:17 > 0:04:18Who did YOU murder in the night?

0:04:18 > 0:04:20Spring cleaning.

0:04:20 > 0:04:22Technically that happens in the spring.

0:04:22 > 0:04:25Well, it's junk. And I'm fed up of it...

0:04:25 > 0:04:27hanging around.

0:04:27 > 0:04:29You all right?

0:04:29 > 0:04:31Yeah, I'm fine. Why?

0:04:31 > 0:04:33Well, you just seem a bit worked up.

0:04:33 > 0:04:36I'm not worked up. Why would I be worked up?

0:04:39 > 0:04:41It's fine. It's fine.

0:04:46 > 0:04:49I've had my catharsis.

0:04:49 > 0:04:52I just want things to get back to normal. You know?

0:04:56 > 0:04:58OK. See you in a bit.

0:05:06 > 0:05:09Dr Copeland! Doctor!

0:05:09 > 0:05:11Hey.

0:05:11 > 0:05:15- Are you off to theatre? - Imminently, lucky me.

0:05:15 > 0:05:17What do you mean?

0:05:17 > 0:05:19Well, who needs the King of Scandi-noir

0:05:19 > 0:05:20watching over your every move?

0:05:20 > 0:05:23Well, me, as it happens. Look, why don't you...

0:05:23 > 0:05:25Dr Copeland.

0:05:25 > 0:05:26Yes, Mr Hanssen.

0:05:26 > 0:05:29We have a potential addition to today's list.

0:05:29 > 0:05:30Female, 39,

0:05:30 > 0:05:32multiple injuries, including upper GI bleeding.

0:05:32 > 0:05:33Right.

0:05:33 > 0:05:36So, if, as I suspect, she requires surgery,

0:05:36 > 0:05:39we should inform our electives that there may be delays today.

0:05:39 > 0:05:42- I can do that.- I'm sure Dr Copeland's more than capable.

0:05:42 > 0:05:45In fact, I'm more than happy to take over altogether if you like.

0:05:45 > 0:05:46Is that right?

0:05:46 > 0:05:50Hundred. I mean, there's nowhere I'd rather be on my last day of trial

0:05:50 > 0:05:53than in theatre with the maestro himself.

0:05:53 > 0:05:54How romantic.

0:05:54 > 0:05:55Dom?

0:05:55 > 0:06:00Well, I would hate to pass up on a chance to work with you myself...

0:06:00 > 0:06:02Ah, well...

0:06:02 > 0:06:07..but I would also hate to deprive Dr Law of that opportunity as well.

0:06:08 > 0:06:10So which is it?

0:06:10 > 0:06:12Fill your boots.

0:06:12 > 0:06:13Yes! Cheers.

0:06:15 > 0:06:16Ah, here's the patient.

0:06:16 > 0:06:18This is Caroline.

0:06:18 > 0:06:20She came second place in a scrap between her bike

0:06:20 > 0:06:21and a transit van.

0:06:21 > 0:06:23Right, so if you'll do a gastroscopy

0:06:23 > 0:06:26I will have a look at the ED assessment.

0:06:26 > 0:06:28Dr Law?

0:06:28 > 0:06:29Yes?

0:06:29 > 0:06:31Gastroscopy?

0:06:31 > 0:06:32I'm all over it.

0:06:33 > 0:06:35Whatever that may mean.

0:06:35 > 0:06:38- MUSIC PLAYS - Mr Orson.

0:06:39 > 0:06:41Shush, woman!

0:06:41 > 0:06:42I was listening.

0:06:44 > 0:06:46Beethoven's Fifth, you know it?

0:06:46 > 0:06:48I have heard it, yes. Reminds me of cute dogs.

0:06:48 > 0:06:51As fascinating as this is, you were found by a neighbour

0:06:51 > 0:06:53having collapsed due to shortness of breath.

0:06:53 > 0:06:57- I assume you've been taking your diuretics?- Ow!

0:06:57 > 0:07:01Quiet, please. Must you be so shrill?

0:07:01 > 0:07:02I don't have time for this.

0:07:05 > 0:07:09Quite a character, eh? He reminds me of my grandad. Highly intelligent.

0:07:09 > 0:07:10- Very particular.- Yes.

0:07:10 > 0:07:13Can you order him an MRI and something to shut him up, please?

0:07:13 > 0:07:15We'll beat him into submission. Two strong women.

0:07:15 > 0:07:18Look, just so you know, the whole "sisterhood" thing?

0:07:18 > 0:07:19It's not my bag.

0:07:21 > 0:07:24Morning, morning.

0:07:24 > 0:07:25You OK?

0:07:25 > 0:07:27Yup. I just got told.

0:07:27 > 0:07:32Ah, yes, well you are working with Stalin reincarnate today. My advice?

0:07:32 > 0:07:34Swap with the bank nurse, quick as you can.

0:07:34 > 0:07:38I've handled worse than Jac Naylor, Guy. She doesn't bother me.

0:07:47 > 0:07:51Sounds like she was lucky to survive the accident.

0:07:51 > 0:07:53Yeah, looks like it.

0:07:53 > 0:07:55Well, at least she was wearing a helmet.

0:07:55 > 0:07:57Small mercies.

0:07:57 > 0:08:01She had at least 80 stitches all in all.

0:08:01 > 0:08:03Nasty.

0:08:03 > 0:08:05Wouldn't catch me cycling on those roads.

0:08:10 > 0:08:12You checked her notes, right?

0:08:12 > 0:08:13Yeah.

0:08:13 > 0:08:16And her name is Barnett?

0:08:16 > 0:08:17Yeah, that's what it says on her ID.

0:08:17 > 0:08:19Why?

0:08:19 > 0:08:21It's not important.

0:08:21 > 0:08:22You can double check if you want.

0:08:22 > 0:08:25No, no. It's OK.

0:08:25 > 0:08:27Ignore me.

0:08:27 > 0:08:29How long will all this rigmarole take, hm?

0:08:29 > 0:08:33This rigmarole would be over a lot quicker if you laid down, Mr Orson.

0:08:33 > 0:08:35Is there anyone I can call for you? Any family?

0:08:35 > 0:08:38I don't have any family. My mother died recently.

0:08:38 > 0:08:39Oh, I'm so sorry.

0:08:39 > 0:08:41Why? It's not your fault.

0:08:41 > 0:08:42No, I know.

0:08:42 > 0:08:44Do you live with anyone?

0:08:44 > 0:08:45Not since my mother died.

0:08:45 > 0:08:47Oh, you lived with your mum?

0:08:47 > 0:08:48We're ready.

0:08:48 > 0:08:52Right, OK. Come on, lie down and keep still. Come on.

0:08:52 > 0:08:55That's it. This will be over shortly. Piece of cake.

0:08:55 > 0:08:57I don't like cake.

0:09:01 > 0:09:03OK, just need to see your name. That's it.

0:09:03 > 0:09:06- I'm looking for my daughter. Caroline.- Yes?

0:09:06 > 0:09:07Caroline Evert.

0:09:07 > 0:09:10- Evert?- Well, Barnett these days.

0:09:10 > 0:09:12Yeah, she's just through here.

0:09:12 > 0:09:15- Is she all right?- Well, she got knocked off her bike by a van.

0:09:15 > 0:09:18Uh, I've told her about riding that bloody thing.

0:09:18 > 0:09:21She's got internal injuries, serious cuts and bruises

0:09:21 > 0:09:23and she needs help with her breathing.

0:09:29 > 0:09:30She's unconscious!

0:09:30 > 0:09:33Sedated. Just so we could put the breathing tube in.

0:09:33 > 0:09:35What about head injuries?

0:09:35 > 0:09:37Only minor, but we'll keep a close eye on that side of things.

0:09:37 > 0:09:40I can't believe this is happening.

0:09:40 > 0:09:42One of our consultants'll come down

0:09:42 > 0:09:44and he'll be able to explain more to you.

0:09:44 > 0:09:46Oh, yeah, I bet he will!

0:09:46 > 0:09:47Sorry?

0:09:47 > 0:09:50I've had dealings with consultants before.

0:09:50 > 0:09:51How do you mean?

0:09:51 > 0:09:53Arrogant pigs.

0:09:53 > 0:09:57- Well, I can assure you...- Who don't give a damn for your feelings!

0:09:57 > 0:09:59I'll just go and get him.

0:10:03 > 0:10:04Argh!

0:10:04 > 0:10:07You all right?

0:10:07 > 0:10:11Apart from looking like a complete wuss in front of a beautiful woman.

0:10:11 > 0:10:12Yeah, dandy.

0:10:12 > 0:10:15And how long have you had this tingling sensation in your legs,

0:10:15 > 0:10:18- Mr Strongman?- Dan. Again, since I slipped last week.

0:10:18 > 0:10:20I thought it'd get better, but...

0:10:20 > 0:10:23Must've been a nasty fall. How did you do it?

0:10:23 > 0:10:25Capoeira. Practising for this competition.

0:10:27 > 0:10:29Brazilian martial art.

0:10:29 > 0:10:33Well, as much martial as it is acrobatics and bit of dance, too.

0:10:33 > 0:10:35Hence...the injury.

0:10:35 > 0:10:38If you could just slip your top off for me, please.

0:10:38 > 0:10:42So, capoeira. Learn something new every day, don't you, Cara?

0:10:43 > 0:10:47Cara. That's a pretty name. Figures.

0:10:47 > 0:10:49Got all the lines, you.

0:10:49 > 0:10:53OK, well, the problem is the spine's a little curved here, do you see?

0:10:53 > 0:10:56Between that and the sciatica, it could be spondylolisthesis,

0:10:56 > 0:10:58where the vertebra has slipped out of position,

0:10:58 > 0:11:00but I'd like to rule out

0:11:00 > 0:11:02the possibility of Cauda Equina syndrome.

0:11:02 > 0:11:04- Come again.- Come again.

0:11:05 > 0:11:08Cauda Equina syndrome occurs when the disc material

0:11:08 > 0:11:11is forced into the spinal canal and compresses the nerve roots there.

0:11:11 > 0:11:13Is it serious, doc?

0:11:13 > 0:11:16It could cause loss of bowel or bladder control,

0:11:16 > 0:11:18but let's not jump the gun.

0:11:18 > 0:11:20We'll give you an MRI, and we will take a look.

0:11:22 > 0:11:24Will you be there to hold my hand?

0:11:26 > 0:11:28Looks like someone's got a thing for our girl.

0:11:28 > 0:11:31Seems to be cheering her up a bit, though.

0:11:31 > 0:11:33Do you know what?

0:11:33 > 0:11:35I always thought that you and her would make a good couple.

0:11:35 > 0:11:38Me?! I'm far too old for her. Clearly.

0:11:38 > 0:11:40Yeah, good point.

0:11:40 > 0:11:43It is good to see her laughing again, though.

0:11:44 > 0:11:46All right, thank you.

0:11:50 > 0:11:52Caroline Barnett's gastroscopy.

0:11:52 > 0:11:53And?

0:11:53 > 0:11:56Clots in the stomach and duodenum, but no active bleed.

0:11:56 > 0:11:58And how would you proceed?

0:11:58 > 0:12:01- Exploratory surgery?- Why?

0:12:01 > 0:12:02Belt and braces.

0:12:02 > 0:12:04Not because you're desperate to get into theatre?

0:12:04 > 0:12:07Still more chance of finding a spurter in there than none.

0:12:07 > 0:12:09- Correct.- So we operate?

0:12:09 > 0:12:12- KNOCK AT DOOR - Come in.

0:12:12 > 0:12:14Caroline Barnett's mother's here.

0:12:15 > 0:12:16Right.

0:12:20 > 0:12:22So, do you want to talk her through the options?

0:12:27 > 0:12:30Um, you know what? Um... I'd rather you did it.

0:12:30 > 0:12:31I beg your pardon?

0:12:31 > 0:12:35Well, er... Well, she'd want to talk to the top man, wouldn't she?

0:12:35 > 0:12:39You don't usually pass up the chance to exhibit your inimitable charm.

0:12:39 > 0:12:41First time for everything.

0:12:41 > 0:12:43All right, have it your way.

0:12:43 > 0:12:47Um, actually, I think Dom should take the case, after all.

0:12:47 > 0:12:48What?

0:12:48 > 0:12:51Well, it was out of order of me to muscle in like that.

0:12:51 > 0:12:53What in the name of Odin...

0:12:53 > 0:12:56Look, just count me out altogether. All right? Sorry.

0:13:00 > 0:13:03Hey, how's it going with the Prince of Darkness?

0:13:03 > 0:13:04Pft.

0:13:04 > 0:13:05That good, eh?

0:13:06 > 0:13:09Mr Orson. I have your MRI results.

0:13:09 > 0:13:12Quieter, please. Your voice is drilling through my skull.

0:13:12 > 0:13:15It appears your medication has stopped working,

0:13:15 > 0:13:16which has exacerbated the valve stenosis,

0:13:16 > 0:13:19so we're going to need to perform a valve replacement.

0:13:19 > 0:13:21I need a valve replacement.

0:13:21 > 0:13:22It's fairly routine.

0:13:22 > 0:13:24I see.

0:13:24 > 0:13:27And when do you propose this fairly routine operation

0:13:27 > 0:13:28should be taking place?

0:13:28 > 0:13:31Well, normally you'd have to wait, but as you're already in the system,

0:13:31 > 0:13:33I can schedule you in for later today.

0:13:33 > 0:13:38I can't. I've got Quiz Champion tonight. I never miss it.

0:13:38 > 0:13:40Look, I've never got an answer wrong.

0:13:40 > 0:13:41Quiz Champion?

0:13:41 > 0:13:43It's a television show.

0:13:43 > 0:13:45- It's perfectly natural to be nervous.- I know that.

0:13:45 > 0:13:48Mr Orson, the valve in your heart is no longer functioning.

0:13:48 > 0:13:52Without an operation, at some point in the not too distant future,

0:13:52 > 0:13:55you'll go into certain heart failure, which will likely be fatal.

0:13:55 > 0:13:57I'll be back later to talk you through the operation,

0:13:57 > 0:14:00at which point I hope normal logic has returned.

0:14:01 > 0:14:03I'll be right back.

0:14:05 > 0:14:08Was that totally called for?

0:14:08 > 0:14:11He needs an operation and he's banging on about missing a television show.

0:14:11 > 0:14:13He's a little bit scared! No, now he's a lot scared.

0:14:13 > 0:14:16Seymour Orson might remind you of crumpets

0:14:16 > 0:14:17and cuddles by the fire with Grandpa,

0:14:17 > 0:14:19but he needs the facts straight.

0:14:19 > 0:14:21No, he needs your reassurance.

0:14:21 > 0:14:23I'm not a social worker, Nurse Reynolds.

0:14:30 > 0:14:36Mrs Evert? I'm Henrik Hanssen, your daughter's consultant.

0:14:36 > 0:14:37Is she going to live?

0:14:37 > 0:14:40Well, Caroline has received some...

0:14:40 > 0:14:43I asked you a question.

0:14:43 > 0:14:44And I'm trying to explain.

0:14:44 > 0:14:46Is she going to live?

0:14:46 > 0:14:48I certainly hope so.

0:14:48 > 0:14:50Because I cannot go through this again.

0:14:50 > 0:14:51Go through what, Denise?

0:14:51 > 0:14:54I lost my eldest. Caroline's sister, Clare.

0:14:56 > 0:14:57I'm sorry to hear that.

0:14:57 > 0:14:59She died on the operating table.

0:14:59 > 0:15:01When was that?

0:15:01 > 0:15:0220 years ago.

0:15:02 > 0:15:05Well, although Caroline's injuries are relatively serious,

0:15:05 > 0:15:08- there's no reason to believe that they're life-threatening.- Right.

0:15:08 > 0:15:11Right, so the main thing we have to decide is whether to operate or not.

0:15:11 > 0:15:14- What?- We haven't located any internal bleeding.

0:15:14 > 0:15:15Well, that's good, isn't it?

0:15:15 > 0:15:16Indeed.

0:15:16 > 0:15:20It may be in Caroline's best interests to perform

0:15:20 > 0:15:21an exploratory procedure...

0:15:21 > 0:15:24No. Well, not unless she has to.

0:15:24 > 0:15:26Would you like some time to think about it?

0:15:26 > 0:15:27No, thanks.

0:15:27 > 0:15:30I'm very happy to discuss it with my team.

0:15:30 > 0:15:31There's no point.

0:15:31 > 0:15:35- I certainly don't mind waiting. - My mind's made up.

0:15:35 > 0:15:38Right. As you wish. Thank you.

0:15:38 > 0:15:40Nurse Harrison?

0:15:40 > 0:15:44Well, we'd better prep Mr Cohen for his cholecystectomy.

0:15:44 > 0:15:47- Right.- Tell the rest of the patients we're back on schedule.

0:15:47 > 0:15:48Will do.

0:15:51 > 0:15:56Apparently, you'll be joining me in theatre today after all, Dr Copeland.

0:16:08 > 0:16:11How's it going, genius? You got that consent for me?

0:16:11 > 0:16:17Dot-dot-dot-dash. Yes. Remarkable. It's Morse Code for V-V-V.

0:16:17 > 0:16:21V Fifth. Fifth Symphony.

0:16:21 > 0:16:26Seymour? The consent form? Look, I can tell you're nervous.

0:16:26 > 0:16:30I am not nervous. I have things to attend to.

0:16:35 > 0:16:38Seymour, is there anything specifically that's bothering you?

0:16:38 > 0:16:40Is it Ms Naylor?

0:16:40 > 0:16:43Ms Naylor? Very loud, that woman.

0:16:43 > 0:16:44Pushy.

0:16:44 > 0:16:50OK. So it's possible she's the reason you haven't signed your consent form?

0:16:50 > 0:16:51It's possible.

0:16:53 > 0:16:55I understand. Leave it with me.

0:17:05 > 0:17:07What happened to you?

0:17:07 > 0:17:08Hey?

0:17:08 > 0:17:10Well, one minute you're overly eager

0:17:10 > 0:17:12to wriggle into Hanssen's good books

0:17:12 > 0:17:15- and the next I'm back in theatre again.- Not now, Dom.

0:17:15 > 0:17:17- Well, I thought you needed this gig. - Yes, I did.

0:17:17 > 0:17:19So why am I back in the spotlight?

0:17:19 > 0:17:21Dom, just leave it. All right?

0:17:22 > 0:17:24All right.

0:17:35 > 0:17:37She's bleeding! Please, can someone help us?!

0:17:42 > 0:17:43What's wrong with her?

0:17:43 > 0:17:45It's OK, Denise.

0:17:45 > 0:17:46Page Dr Law.

0:17:46 > 0:17:47Well, why is she bleeding?

0:17:47 > 0:17:49We'll know more when Dr Law's here.

0:18:11 > 0:18:14Well, at least you managed to put a smile on her face earlier.

0:18:14 > 0:18:16- You reckon?- Yeah.

0:18:16 > 0:18:18Do you, uh...

0:18:18 > 0:18:21Do you know if she's seeing anyone?

0:18:21 > 0:18:23- Um...- Not as such. But...

0:18:23 > 0:18:26Seriously? I think she's just...

0:18:27 > 0:18:30Any chance you could maybe put in a good word?

0:18:31 > 0:18:33Sorry. ED called and...

0:18:35 > 0:18:36What?

0:18:46 > 0:18:47Comfy?

0:18:47 > 0:18:49Yeah. Thanks.

0:18:49 > 0:18:50What's the problem?

0:18:50 > 0:18:51She's bleeding.

0:18:51 > 0:18:53Sutures need redoing.

0:18:53 > 0:18:54It's you.

0:18:54 > 0:18:57- You know I'm off the case, right? - Everyone else is in theatre.

0:18:57 > 0:18:58- Dr Law.- Mrs Evert, I...

0:18:58 > 0:18:59Get your hands off my daughter!

0:18:59 > 0:19:01- What's going on?- Now!

0:19:01 > 0:19:02- Jesse?- She needs my help.

0:19:02 > 0:19:06- Right, whatever this is, it's got to wait.- I don't want you anywhere near my daughter!

0:19:06 > 0:19:08Mrs Evert, I have to do this.

0:19:16 > 0:19:23So rumour has it, Hatters completed the MDT challenge yesterday.

0:19:23 > 0:19:25There is no way that that tool managed to sleep with

0:19:25 > 0:19:27someone from every discipline?!

0:19:27 > 0:19:31Apaz he did. I think he's quite hot.

0:19:31 > 0:19:33What?

0:19:33 > 0:19:35I can't fathom how any woman

0:19:35 > 0:19:37would find that man even remotely attractive.

0:19:37 > 0:19:41Seriously. Very, very attractive.

0:19:45 > 0:19:47Oh, you cardiothoracic surgeons.

0:19:47 > 0:19:50Are you all on a drive to give yourselves a coronary?!

0:19:50 > 0:19:53Correct. Excepting Ms Naylor. She'll be the last one standing.

0:19:53 > 0:19:56Yeah, standing over you, with a scalpel.

0:19:57 > 0:20:00That is too dark even for a Tuesday.

0:20:00 > 0:20:04Er, actually, on that, Ollie, could I have a word?

0:20:10 > 0:20:12I hope that wasn't too bad.

0:20:12 > 0:20:14I mean, it'd be totally wrong, wouldn't it...

0:20:14 > 0:20:16Yeah, utterly. We can't encourage it.

0:20:16 > 0:20:18- Can we?- Encourage what?

0:20:18 > 0:20:23Forbidden fruit. Doctor-patient.

0:20:23 > 0:20:25You're not seriously thinking...

0:20:25 > 0:20:27No. No, we're not.

0:20:27 > 0:20:29She was pretty grumpy this morning

0:20:29 > 0:20:32and I'm presuming the marital breakdown is to blame.

0:20:32 > 0:20:35Although, a bit of fun could be just the tonic she needs.

0:20:35 > 0:20:38I mean, once he's been discharged. Keep it all above board.

0:20:38 > 0:20:42It'd certainly help her to move on. Maybe get her smile back.

0:20:42 > 0:20:45Uh. Did you just hear what I said?

0:20:45 > 0:20:48So on balance...

0:20:48 > 0:20:50Do you not...

0:20:50 > 0:20:54Do you not think it's far too soon to just be setting Cara up

0:20:54 > 0:20:56with someone, willy-nilly?

0:20:56 > 0:20:59Are you a bit of an expert on the fairer sex now, are you, Diggers?

0:20:59 > 0:21:01Well, it might come as a bit of a surprise,

0:21:01 > 0:21:04but I actually have a very high EQ and...

0:21:04 > 0:21:06Woman's intuition, is it?

0:21:06 > 0:21:08No, this is just what she needs.

0:21:09 > 0:21:14Uh. Just... Right. I just thought that the...

0:21:16 > 0:21:18Sorted?

0:21:25 > 0:21:29I want Hanssen on the case soon as he's out of theatre, OK?

0:21:29 > 0:21:30I'll page him.

0:21:39 > 0:21:40And can you update the mum?

0:21:42 > 0:21:45Are you going to tell me what's going on?

0:21:49 > 0:21:53She had a sister. Clare.

0:21:53 > 0:21:55She died in theatre.

0:21:57 > 0:21:59I was there.

0:22:01 > 0:22:05I was just appointed registrar.

0:22:05 > 0:22:07Then I operated on her.

0:22:07 > 0:22:09And the mum recognised you.

0:22:11 > 0:22:13She must hate the sight of me.

0:22:13 > 0:22:15Yeah.

0:22:16 > 0:22:18She was nervous about the surgery.

0:22:18 > 0:22:20Denise?

0:22:20 > 0:22:23Clare. Then I talked her into it.

0:22:25 > 0:22:27So that's why you walked off the case.

0:22:31 > 0:22:33That's why I gave up surgery.

0:22:36 > 0:22:40Seeing Denise, it just threw me.

0:22:42 > 0:22:45I didn't know what the hell to say to her.

0:22:47 > 0:22:49I'm a coward.

0:22:49 > 0:22:55You're not a coward, but you can't keep this bottled up any more.

0:22:55 > 0:22:57You need to go and talk to her.

0:22:57 > 0:22:59You saw how she reacted.

0:22:59 > 0:23:02I'm the last person she'd want to talk to right now.

0:23:05 > 0:23:10Nurse Reynolds. Just FYI. I am not a fan of postmodernism.

0:23:10 > 0:23:12I prefer my beds made.

0:23:12 > 0:23:15Oh, and I get a bit confused when my registrar consults me

0:23:15 > 0:23:17for advice on my own case.

0:23:17 > 0:23:20Your case? I apologise.

0:23:20 > 0:23:23- I was under the impression that you'd given it to me?- No.

0:23:23 > 0:23:26You were making Mr Orson nervous about the surgery

0:23:26 > 0:23:29so in an effort to persuade him to continue, I thought

0:23:29 > 0:23:31it best that another surgeon take over.

0:23:31 > 0:23:33Hang on. That's not exactly how you put it to me before.

0:23:33 > 0:23:35So you lied?

0:23:35 > 0:23:37I was acting in the patient's best interests.

0:23:37 > 0:23:39That's what we do here, isn't it?

0:23:39 > 0:23:40No, we're here to perform surgery,

0:23:40 > 0:23:43not play nursey-nursey by the bedside.

0:23:43 > 0:23:45I understand you're a consultant

0:23:45 > 0:23:50and you don't deal with such trifling, nursey-nursey matters,

0:23:50 > 0:23:54but maybe if you had a bit more of a social conscience

0:23:54 > 0:23:56instead of just washing your hands of Mr Orson...

0:23:56 > 0:23:58Wow. Do continue.

0:23:59 > 0:24:02- He's still your patient.- Hm.

0:24:08 > 0:24:10Mr Orson.

0:24:10 > 0:24:13I hear you're unhappy with my bedside manner?

0:24:13 > 0:24:14It's possible.

0:24:14 > 0:24:18You're a man of facts, so let me put this in terms you'll understand.

0:24:18 > 0:24:21I have performed over 100 pulmonary valve replacements.

0:24:21 > 0:24:23That's significantly more than

0:24:23 > 0:24:26the average cardiothoracic consultant, nationally.

0:24:26 > 0:24:29My outcomes are unrivalled.

0:24:29 > 0:24:32So in short, I'm the best there is.

0:24:33 > 0:24:36You don't have to have Ms Naylor perform this operation.

0:24:36 > 0:24:37It's whatever makes you feel...

0:24:37 > 0:24:40She's right. You don't have to have me.

0:24:40 > 0:24:41Hell, what are a few statistics?

0:24:41 > 0:24:43If used correctly,

0:24:43 > 0:24:47statistics are often the most truthful indicators of outcome.

0:24:47 > 0:24:49I'm glad two of us speak the same language.

0:24:49 > 0:24:52I thought you felt unhappy.

0:24:52 > 0:24:54So can we proceed as we were?

0:24:54 > 0:24:57Certainly. Proceed as we were.

0:24:57 > 0:25:00Dandy. You're scheduled in. A porter will come and collect you.

0:25:00 > 0:25:02Nurse Reynolds, you're off the case.

0:25:05 > 0:25:07It's funny, isn't it, you know?

0:25:07 > 0:25:10Even though I don't bat that way myself, I can still appreciate

0:25:10 > 0:25:13that Dan Strongman is an inhumanely good-looking fella.

0:25:13 > 0:25:16Yes. I absolutely agree. Objectively speaking, of course.

0:25:16 > 0:25:20Of course. Cara, what about you? What do you...what do you think?

0:25:20 > 0:25:21Yeah, he's fit.

0:25:21 > 0:25:24Must be all that practising of the martial arts thing that he does.

0:25:24 > 0:25:27Yeah. You're into physical fitness, aren't you?

0:25:27 > 0:25:29- Um...- Well, you've got that trophy in your car.

0:25:29 > 0:25:33What?! Twerkmaster 2014?!

0:25:33 > 0:25:37I think the Brazilian martial art of Capoeira is a little bit different to twerking, don't you?

0:25:37 > 0:25:39Well...

0:25:39 > 0:25:43Yeah. I'm going to chase up an MRI.

0:25:44 > 0:25:47Right, well. I think that was for the best, don't you?

0:25:47 > 0:25:49We need a more direct approach.

0:25:49 > 0:25:51It think it has to come from the horse's mouth.

0:25:51 > 0:25:54I think what you were doing was already quite obvious.

0:25:54 > 0:25:58You might want to get that looked at.

0:25:58 > 0:25:59Dear me.

0:26:03 > 0:26:05No, no. This can't happen again!

0:26:05 > 0:26:06Mrs Evert.

0:26:06 > 0:26:08She's gone, hasn't she?

0:26:08 > 0:26:11- Sorry?- My Caroline... She's gone?

0:26:11 > 0:26:12No.

0:26:12 > 0:26:15Mrs Evert, do you want to come and see her?

0:26:15 > 0:26:16Is she all right?

0:26:16 > 0:26:18Yeah, we've closed the wound up again.

0:26:18 > 0:26:22Why did the stitches open up in the first place?

0:26:22 > 0:26:25I think it'd be better if you spoke to Mr...

0:26:25 > 0:26:26I want to speak to you first.

0:26:26 > 0:26:27But Caroline is Mr Hanssen's...

0:26:27 > 0:26:28About Clare.

0:26:28 > 0:26:31COUGHING

0:26:31 > 0:26:34What's happening now?

0:26:34 > 0:26:36Um... Leave this with me.

0:26:36 > 0:26:37Get Hanssen.

0:26:37 > 0:26:38Denise, you come with me.

0:26:38 > 0:26:41Dr Law's just going to do some more checks.

0:26:41 > 0:26:45And that should pretty much take care of it. Actually, er...

0:26:45 > 0:26:49Why don't you go and talk him through it all?

0:26:49 > 0:26:51Really? Wouldn't it be better coming from...

0:26:51 > 0:26:53I've got to go and check on Mr Bennington.

0:26:53 > 0:26:54I already did that.

0:26:58 > 0:27:00OK.

0:27:04 > 0:27:06How you doing, mister?

0:27:06 > 0:27:11Better for seeing you, but... nervous, to be honest.

0:27:11 > 0:27:12It's not Cauda Equina syndrome.

0:27:12 > 0:27:14Thank God.

0:27:14 > 0:27:17Spondylolesthesis, and fairly minor.

0:27:17 > 0:27:21So we'll administer a steroid injection into the spinal canal for the pain.

0:27:21 > 0:27:23We'll do that in theatre.

0:27:23 > 0:27:25Then it's one to two weeks' bed rest,

0:27:25 > 0:27:29then you can have your Cap...oeira shoes back on and wow the judges.

0:27:29 > 0:27:32Seriously, thank you.

0:27:35 > 0:27:38Annoying thing is, erm...

0:27:38 > 0:27:44I...don't have anyone coming to watch me. Perform and that, so...

0:27:44 > 0:27:45That's a shame. It sounds great.

0:27:45 > 0:27:47Yeah, yeah. No, it is.

0:27:47 > 0:27:49Proper spectacle. V cool.

0:27:49 > 0:27:51V cool!

0:27:51 > 0:27:52I don't get that bit.

0:27:52 > 0:27:55Sorry, that's, um...

0:27:55 > 0:27:58Er, I wondered... would you be interested?

0:27:58 > 0:27:59Oh, what, coming to watch?

0:27:59 > 0:28:01Yeah, coming to watch me?

0:28:01 > 0:28:04Maybe we could get some drinks, grab a bite to eat after?

0:28:07 > 0:28:09No?

0:28:09 > 0:28:15No, stupid idea. Sorry. It's been a while.

0:28:15 > 0:28:18It's just, you're a patient.

0:28:18 > 0:28:19Not for much longer.

0:28:19 > 0:28:22I don't know anything about Capoei... Cap...

0:28:22 > 0:28:23Capoeira.

0:28:23 > 0:28:28Capoeira. Thank you, though. For the offer.

0:28:42 > 0:28:44Tried, mate. No interest.

0:28:44 > 0:28:46- Sorry, can I just have a quick... - No.

0:28:49 > 0:28:51I appreciate how you must feel, Mrs Evert,

0:28:51 > 0:28:54but I strongly advise taking the surgical route.

0:28:54 > 0:28:56But you don't know for sure she needs it.

0:28:56 > 0:28:57I strongly advise it.

0:28:57 > 0:29:00Don't you understand? I can't...

0:29:00 > 0:29:02In circumstances like these, Mrs Evert, you should try

0:29:02 > 0:29:05putting your own feelings aside and think of your daughter.

0:29:05 > 0:29:07I'm thinking of both of them.

0:29:07 > 0:29:09Is there any way I can persuade you?

0:29:09 > 0:29:13I can't give my consent. What if something went wrong?

0:29:17 > 0:29:18Would you like me to go after her?

0:29:18 > 0:29:23I think that would be pouring oil onto troubled waters, Dr Copeland.

0:29:54 > 0:29:56You can't just leave it at that!

0:29:56 > 0:29:57Well, what choice do I have?

0:29:57 > 0:29:58We have to operate.

0:29:58 > 0:30:01Her mother is next of kin. There we are.

0:30:01 > 0:30:02What about her husband?

0:30:02 > 0:30:03Divorced.

0:30:03 > 0:30:04Look, you've got to try again.

0:30:04 > 0:30:07For someone who refused to have anything to do with this case,

0:30:07 > 0:30:10you're showing a remarkably keen interest.

0:30:10 > 0:30:12Look, we've got history, OK?

0:30:12 > 0:30:15Ah, so now the picture becomes a little clearer.

0:30:15 > 0:30:17Thank you, Mrs Wakely.

0:30:18 > 0:30:21Her other daughter was a patient of mine.

0:30:21 > 0:30:24And you didn't think to share this little nugget of information earlier?

0:30:24 > 0:30:26No.

0:30:26 > 0:30:29Look, Dr Law, communication is vital.

0:30:29 > 0:30:30Yes, yes, I understand that...

0:30:30 > 0:30:34And you do not seem to be one of nature's great communicators.

0:30:34 > 0:30:36Mr Hanssen, please...

0:30:36 > 0:30:40But you still have a minuscule chance of proving me wrong.

0:30:40 > 0:30:42Thank you.

0:30:42 > 0:30:44How?

0:30:44 > 0:30:48Well, perhaps you could encourage Mrs Evert to change her mind.

0:30:48 > 0:30:49Uh, I, um...

0:30:49 > 0:30:50As you have a history.

0:30:52 > 0:30:54I don't think I could.

0:30:54 > 0:30:56Oh, well, perhaps not.

0:31:07 > 0:31:08SHE SIGHS

0:31:09 > 0:31:10Seymour!

0:31:10 > 0:31:13OK, hello, hi.

0:31:13 > 0:31:15- What are you doing? - I've got to get back.

0:31:15 > 0:31:17I've got to get back for Quiz Champion.

0:31:17 > 0:31:19I never miss it. Never got an answer wrong.

0:31:20 > 0:31:23I know you stopped picking up your medication up from your GP.

0:31:23 > 0:31:24Why?

0:31:24 > 0:31:27You knew it would make your heart worse.

0:31:27 > 0:31:28Seymour?

0:31:28 > 0:31:30OK.

0:31:30 > 0:31:31Look...

0:31:31 > 0:31:34I know what it's like, when someone close to you dies.

0:31:35 > 0:31:37My mum died when I was really little.

0:31:37 > 0:31:39It's easy to give up on everything...

0:31:39 > 0:31:42These lifts, they are so slow.

0:31:42 > 0:31:44You need to update the system!

0:31:44 > 0:31:45OK, fine.

0:31:49 > 0:31:50When did your mother die?

0:31:52 > 0:31:54I was five.

0:31:55 > 0:31:562nd February, 1978.

0:31:58 > 0:32:00- I'll never forget that date. - Saturday.

0:32:00 > 0:32:03- Sorry?- 2nd February, 1978.

0:32:05 > 0:32:08Your mother died on a Saturday.

0:32:08 > 0:32:10- How did you know that? - Days are important.

0:32:13 > 0:32:16My GP changed her days. She changed it to Thursdays.

0:32:18 > 0:32:21Thursdays aren't good for me.

0:32:21 > 0:32:23That's why you stopped picking up your medication?

0:32:23 > 0:32:26Because your GP changed the day she was working?

0:32:26 > 0:32:29- Thursdays aren't good... - Er, are you going somewhere?

0:32:29 > 0:32:33Yeah. I've got to get back. Got to get back for Quiz Champion, Quiz Champion. I never...

0:32:33 > 0:32:36Mr Orson, I strongly suggest that you have your surgery today...

0:32:36 > 0:32:39I've never missed it! I've never missed an episode and I've never got an answer wrong!

0:32:39 > 0:32:43Fine. Have it your way, but it's been noted that this is against medical advice.

0:32:43 > 0:32:44No, you can't let him go.

0:32:44 > 0:32:46But he's not been taking his medication...

0:32:46 > 0:32:48No, there's something more going on with him.

0:32:48 > 0:32:51Look, if that oddball doesn't want to help himself, then, frankly,

0:32:51 > 0:32:53- I'm not going to waste my time. - Oddball!

0:32:53 > 0:32:56And I suggest, for your own career, that you drop this immediately.

0:33:01 > 0:33:03Uh, uh, uh. No carbs before Marbs, babes.

0:33:03 > 0:33:04OK, I'm not going to Marbs.

0:33:04 > 0:33:07And does the concept of hypocrisy mean anything to you?

0:33:07 > 0:33:09I'm in love. I have a faster metabolism.

0:33:09 > 0:33:10NO! You just...

0:33:10 > 0:33:13Oh, are you still angry that me and Lee woke you up this morning?

0:33:15 > 0:33:16Then what?

0:33:17 > 0:33:20Raf and Fletch are trying to set Cara up with a patient...

0:33:22 > 0:33:24Right... Lee was a patient.

0:33:24 > 0:33:26That's beside the point.

0:33:26 > 0:33:28She's not ready and, um...

0:33:28 > 0:33:31I can see it's going to end in disaster and, frankly,

0:33:31 > 0:33:33I just don't want to get embroiled in any of it.

0:33:33 > 0:33:35Embroiled?

0:33:35 > 0:33:38Will you chill out? A little bit of rebound action never hurt anyone.

0:33:38 > 0:33:41I'm kind of sick and tired of, um, people not taking me seriously.

0:33:41 > 0:33:42I am a person.

0:33:42 > 0:33:45Have you finished with that, Matilda?

0:33:45 > 0:33:46No!

0:33:47 > 0:33:49Now you've ruined it.

0:33:53 > 0:33:55Hi.

0:33:55 > 0:33:59CONTINUOUS BEEP

0:34:10 > 0:34:12Mrs Evert.

0:34:12 > 0:34:15Yeah, I know you might not want to talk to me right now...

0:34:15 > 0:34:18It was like seeing a ghost, seeing you again.

0:34:19 > 0:34:20It must have been quite a shock...

0:34:20 > 0:34:22Brought everything flooding back.

0:34:23 > 0:34:24Same here.

0:34:26 > 0:34:28Look, um...

0:34:28 > 0:34:31I believe you're having doubts...

0:34:31 > 0:34:33consenting to Caroline's surgery.

0:34:33 > 0:34:35Wouldn't you in my shoes?

0:34:36 > 0:34:39I think you should reconsider.

0:34:39 > 0:34:41- Are you serious?- Absolutely.

0:34:41 > 0:34:43- I don't believe this. - Look, Denise...

0:34:43 > 0:34:45You're the man who talked my late daughter

0:34:45 > 0:34:48- into having an operation that killed her...- Yeah, yeah I...

0:34:48 > 0:34:51And here you are 20 years later doing exactly the same thing...

0:34:51 > 0:34:53- Which is why you should listen to me.- What?!

0:34:54 > 0:34:57Look, don't you think I'd be having this conversation

0:34:57 > 0:34:59- if I thought there was any other way to treat...- You lot!

0:34:59 > 0:35:01You all know best, don't you?!

0:35:01 > 0:35:03No.

0:35:03 > 0:35:05I lost my beautiful little girl...

0:35:06 > 0:35:09And I don't want history repeating itself.

0:35:11 > 0:35:13Denise, look.

0:35:13 > 0:35:15Look at the monitor.

0:35:16 > 0:35:19Caroline's blood pressure is slowly getting lower...

0:35:20 > 0:35:21She coughed up blood.

0:35:21 > 0:35:24They're both signs that she's bleeding inside

0:35:24 > 0:35:26and if that's the case, she'll be getting other symptoms soon,

0:35:26 > 0:35:29things that are going to cause her a lot of pain...

0:35:29 > 0:35:31It might be too late to help her then.

0:35:31 > 0:35:33We have to do this now.

0:35:35 > 0:35:37Please, say yes.

0:35:39 > 0:35:40For Caroline's sake.

0:35:47 > 0:35:49It's Nurse Reynolds from Darwin ward.

0:35:49 > 0:35:50I need some advice on a patient.

0:35:52 > 0:35:54No, no, please, I'll hold. It's urgent.

0:35:56 > 0:35:58KNOCK ON DOOR

0:35:58 > 0:35:59DOOR OPENS

0:36:01 > 0:36:02Um...

0:36:04 > 0:36:05She said yes.

0:36:10 > 0:36:12What happened...?

0:36:16 > 0:36:18Hey, what... Whoa, what are you doing...?

0:36:18 > 0:36:20You said you didn't know anything about Capoeira.

0:36:20 > 0:36:22So I'm showing you,

0:36:22 > 0:36:24because...

0:36:24 > 0:36:26Ah, careful, careful, your back!

0:36:26 > 0:36:27Ooh!

0:36:28 > 0:36:29I'm not taking no for an answer.

0:36:29 > 0:36:31Come on - your go.

0:36:32 > 0:36:34What?

0:36:34 > 0:36:35No.

0:36:37 > 0:36:39Just...mirror me.

0:36:46 > 0:36:47This is ridiculous.

0:36:47 > 0:36:50- Come on. That's great.- Hmm.

0:36:50 > 0:36:51Let the rhythm dictate.

0:36:57 > 0:37:00Sorry...

0:37:00 > 0:37:01um...

0:37:01 > 0:37:02I can't...

0:37:02 > 0:37:04- Cara?- Sorry...

0:37:29 > 0:37:31Mini-Me, have you seen Nurse Reynolds?

0:37:31 > 0:37:33I've got bloods backed up from bays one to three, not enough beds...

0:37:33 > 0:37:36- I'll do the bloods.- Thank you.

0:37:36 > 0:37:38- Marriage Of Heaven And Hell. - Sorry?

0:37:38 > 0:37:40Seminal text by William Blake.

0:37:40 > 0:37:43Not dissimilar to our own little domain.

0:37:43 > 0:37:45- Neuro-heaven, cardiothoracics... - Uh-huh.

0:37:45 > 0:37:49And if your little nurse squeeze did her job instead of performing a disappearing act...

0:37:49 > 0:37:50Oh, congratulations, by the way,

0:37:50 > 0:37:52on not being at all cliched on that one.

0:37:58 > 0:38:01- Mr Hanssen. - Ah, the inimitable Dr Law.

0:38:01 > 0:38:04- I've had a change of heart. - Another one?

0:38:04 > 0:38:06I'd like to assist on the procedure if I can.

0:38:06 > 0:38:08OK, well be my guest.

0:38:08 > 0:38:09I'm sorry. I made a mistake.

0:38:11 > 0:38:13Well, if Dr Crosby doesn't mind withdrawing in this instance,

0:38:13 > 0:38:16you're welcome to join us in your normal role as anaesthetist.

0:38:16 > 0:38:18No, I want to be here as a surgeon.

0:38:18 > 0:38:20I'm afraid that won't be possible...

0:38:20 > 0:38:22- But it was me that... - I said no, Dr Law.

0:38:31 > 0:38:33Cara?

0:38:33 > 0:38:35You all right, love?

0:38:37 > 0:38:38We...we didn't mean to upset you...

0:38:41 > 0:38:43This was you?

0:38:43 > 0:38:46Yeah, we...just thought it might help you get over things.

0:38:46 > 0:38:49For the record, I did not concur with that sentiment.

0:38:49 > 0:38:51Get over...things?

0:38:51 > 0:38:53Yeah, I just want to reiterate, it wasn't...

0:38:53 > 0:38:55You have no idea about things...

0:38:55 > 0:38:57The breakdown of any marriage is hard...

0:38:57 > 0:39:00It wasn't just any marriage.

0:39:00 > 0:39:02Obviously, it's very personal to you.

0:39:02 > 0:39:04Is it "any marriage" when your husband is undercover 24/7

0:39:04 > 0:39:06and you're just left...?

0:39:06 > 0:39:08I thought he worked on the oil rigs?

0:39:08 > 0:39:11..when, undercover, he sleeps with someone else

0:39:11 > 0:39:13and tries to convince you it's all just part of the job...

0:39:13 > 0:39:16and then he has a baby with her...?

0:39:16 > 0:39:17Cara...

0:39:17 > 0:39:19..and I have to help her give birth, on this ward

0:39:19 > 0:39:21and I can't tell anyone?

0:39:23 > 0:39:25What are you going to do?

0:39:25 > 0:39:26I don't know.

0:39:29 > 0:39:31It's kind of hard maintaining a relationship with someone

0:39:31 > 0:39:34when your significant other is banged up at Her Majesty's Pleasure.

0:39:35 > 0:39:38But, hey, maybe I should visit more often.

0:39:38 > 0:39:40Maybe we could all go. We could make a day of it.

0:39:42 > 0:39:44Maybe Dan could come, too?

0:39:55 > 0:39:57MACHINES BEEP

0:39:59 > 0:40:00INSTRUMENTS CLATTER

0:40:01 > 0:40:04Well, that's a further five minutes on the procedure

0:40:04 > 0:40:06while we wait for that to be replaced.

0:40:06 > 0:40:07Thank you, Dr Copeland.

0:40:09 > 0:40:10Has anyone seen a man come out here?

0:40:10 > 0:40:12In his 50s, eccentric looking?

0:40:12 > 0:40:13No?

0:40:13 > 0:40:15Seymour!

0:40:15 > 0:40:17SEYMOUR MUMBLES

0:40:17 > 0:40:18Seymour!

0:40:20 > 0:40:22I've got two minutes and 57 seconds!

0:40:22 > 0:40:24I am not going into reception!

0:40:24 > 0:40:27'Please, please, don't touch him!'

0:40:27 > 0:40:28SEYMOUR SCREAMS, ALARM SOUNDS

0:40:28 > 0:40:30Seymour, Seymour...

0:40:30 > 0:40:31It's me, it's Fran.

0:40:31 > 0:40:34Seymour, Seymour...

0:40:35 > 0:40:37Seymour, it's me.

0:40:37 > 0:40:39It's OK. It's all right.

0:40:39 > 0:40:41Thank you.

0:40:41 > 0:40:43Seymour? Seymour!

0:40:43 > 0:40:45ALARM CONTINUES

0:40:45 > 0:40:48It's only me. I'll help you get back. I'll help you get back.

0:40:48 > 0:40:49HE MUMBLES

0:40:49 > 0:40:51..Quiz Champion

0:40:51 > 0:40:53I never miss an episode,

0:40:53 > 0:40:55- GROANING:- I never miss an episode.

0:40:56 > 0:40:58I'm sure the bleed is somewhere in the duodenum,

0:40:58 > 0:41:00I just can't see where.

0:41:00 > 0:41:01Suction, please.

0:41:01 > 0:41:03BP's falling.

0:41:03 > 0:41:05That's hardly surprising, is it, but thank you.

0:41:07 > 0:41:10You really did want to leave because you wanted to watch Quiz Champion, didn't you?

0:41:10 > 0:41:14- I've never missed an episode and I've never got an answer wrong... - Yeah, I know.

0:41:19 > 0:41:22Have you always been able to work out what days of the week certain dates are?

0:41:22 > 0:41:24Yes.

0:41:24 > 0:41:27I remember when mother said that they wanted me

0:41:27 > 0:41:30to go to one of those places and she said no.

0:41:30 > 0:41:32She didn't want me being put in a box.

0:41:34 > 0:41:37How can you go about your daily business in a box?

0:41:39 > 0:41:40Can't argue with that.

0:41:45 > 0:41:47Do you know what autism is, Seymour?

0:41:48 > 0:41:51Autism is a social communication disorder

0:41:51 > 0:41:55that is sometimes described as Asperger syndrome.

0:41:56 > 0:41:58Did your GP talk to you about it?

0:42:00 > 0:42:01Possibly.

0:42:05 > 0:42:06Your mum must have helped you a lot.

0:42:08 > 0:42:09You must be lost without her?

0:42:09 > 0:42:11I'm not lost. I've got a timetable.

0:42:13 > 0:42:14I mean...

0:42:14 > 0:42:16My mother and I...

0:42:17 > 0:42:19..shared the same shadow.

0:42:24 > 0:42:27I've really...I've got to be going. I've got to be...

0:42:27 > 0:42:30Seymour, how about this? How about we do your operation now?

0:42:30 > 0:42:32Listen, and then afterwards,

0:42:32 > 0:42:34while you're recovering,

0:42:34 > 0:42:37you watch Quiz Champion here in the hospital.

0:42:37 > 0:42:38How does that sound?

0:42:38 > 0:42:40Yes...

0:42:40 > 0:42:41Yeah?

0:42:42 > 0:42:43Come on, then.

0:42:48 > 0:42:50Seymour? Seymour?

0:42:50 > 0:42:51Sit down. OK, sit down.

0:42:51 > 0:42:53Can I have some help, please?

0:42:54 > 0:42:57OK, Seymour, listen...

0:42:57 > 0:42:59- What's happened?- It's his heart. It's his heart.

0:42:59 > 0:43:01He's having a heart attack.

0:43:05 > 0:43:07Well, I think I'm owed an apology, don't you?

0:43:07 > 0:43:09High EQ.

0:43:09 > 0:43:11I knew there was something going on.

0:43:11 > 0:43:14So to be tarred with the same brush of insensitivity

0:43:14 > 0:43:17when all along I was in distinct opposition to this harebrained scheme...

0:43:22 > 0:43:24She's arrhythmic, let's forget the bleed and stabilise her.

0:43:24 > 0:43:26Packs, please.

0:43:26 > 0:43:28No change.

0:43:28 > 0:43:30- Polyps.- What?

0:43:30 > 0:43:32Yeah, um, it was in her sister's notes.

0:43:32 > 0:43:35Clare was treated for FAP when she was a kid.

0:43:35 > 0:43:38So there's a 50-50 chance of inheriting from a parent.

0:43:38 > 0:43:40Well, check the bowel... Check the bowel!

0:43:40 > 0:43:42All right, Dr Law, thank you.

0:43:44 > 0:43:46Well, I never.

0:43:46 > 0:43:47Am I right?

0:43:47 > 0:43:49Yes, Dr Law, thank you.

0:43:49 > 0:43:51One of the polyps is indeed the source of the bleed,

0:43:51 > 0:43:54so let's get it stitched and the bleeding under control.

0:43:54 > 0:43:56Would you care to stitch the bleed, Dr Copeland?

0:43:56 > 0:43:59Oh, well, after that shrewd observation

0:43:59 > 0:44:02I thought it might be prudent that Dr Law finishes up...

0:44:02 > 0:44:03Really?

0:44:04 > 0:44:06Well, it was his case originally...

0:44:06 > 0:44:10But I don't want Dr Law anywhere near a scalpel today...

0:44:10 > 0:44:11But I wasn't...

0:44:11 > 0:44:14..and given your obvious reluctance I'll finish the job myself.

0:44:19 > 0:44:21Where the hell have you been?

0:44:21 > 0:44:23He's tachycardic and severely short of breath...

0:44:23 > 0:44:25SEYMOUR PANTS

0:44:25 > 0:44:28Right, take him straight to theatre. I'll be right there.

0:44:28 > 0:44:29What happened?

0:44:29 > 0:44:32The man you dismissed as an oddball has been managing undiagnosed autism.

0:44:32 > 0:44:35And YOU discharged him when he needed a critical operation.

0:44:35 > 0:44:36That's what happened.

0:44:36 > 0:44:38Autism?

0:44:38 > 0:44:40Wanting to watch Quiz Champion, not picking up his meds -

0:44:40 > 0:44:43it's all about the routine, not laziness, or indifference...

0:44:43 > 0:44:46Fine. If that's the case then he can go and see psych after his operation.

0:44:46 > 0:44:49He wouldn't be having an operation if it was down to you, would he?

0:44:49 > 0:44:52He'd be DEAD. You turned your back on him, admit it.

0:44:52 > 0:44:54Fran, just back off.

0:44:54 > 0:44:57This ward is overflowing with patients who need surgery.

0:44:57 > 0:44:59Seymour Orson didn't want it.

0:44:59 > 0:45:01I can't force him, it's GBH.

0:45:01 > 0:45:04You turned your back on your patient when he needed you the most.

0:45:04 > 0:45:07Why can't you just admit it?!

0:45:07 > 0:45:09Someone should admit you.

0:45:10 > 0:45:14That woman is single-minded and dangerous!

0:45:18 > 0:45:21Look, I think you're overreacting.

0:45:21 > 0:45:23I did tell you to swap your shift.

0:45:28 > 0:45:30WHAT?!

0:45:34 > 0:45:37Which one of us do you think he despises the most?

0:45:45 > 0:45:46Cara, um...

0:45:47 > 0:45:49We're...

0:45:49 > 0:45:51We're truly, truly sorry

0:45:51 > 0:45:52and I had no idea...

0:45:52 > 0:45:54And I should've thought...

0:45:54 > 0:45:56It was stupid and...

0:45:56 > 0:45:57unforgivable.

0:45:57 > 0:46:00Yeah, and, um, I'm sorry, too... for their actions.

0:46:02 > 0:46:06We just wanted that big, bright, infectious Cara smile back...

0:46:06 > 0:46:09Aw, look, I know you did it with the best will in the world.

0:46:09 > 0:46:10It's just...

0:46:11 > 0:46:13..too soon. You know?

0:46:14 > 0:46:15But I'll be fine.

0:46:19 > 0:46:20Right?

0:46:20 > 0:46:21Yeah, you will.

0:46:25 > 0:46:26You absolutely will.

0:46:30 > 0:46:31Come on!

0:46:35 > 0:46:37- JAC:- Are we ready for bypass?

0:46:37 > 0:46:39Bypass prepped.

0:46:39 > 0:46:40Knife.

0:46:42 > 0:46:44Ms Naylor.

0:46:44 > 0:46:47Could I see you in my office, please.

0:46:47 > 0:46:50Can this wait until afterwards...? I have my hands full...

0:46:50 > 0:46:51Unfortunately, not.

0:46:51 > 0:46:53Mr Valentine, would you be so kind as to take over?

0:46:53 > 0:46:56- Ms Effanga will be joining you presently.- Certainly...

0:46:57 > 0:46:59Er, I'm sorry. What's going on?

0:46:59 > 0:47:01- It's a matter best discussed in private, if you don't mind.- No.

0:47:01 > 0:47:04I'm not going to be removed from my own theatre without a good reason.

0:47:06 > 0:47:07As you wish.

0:47:08 > 0:47:10There is a complaint of negligence against you.

0:47:11 > 0:47:12Negligence.

0:47:12 > 0:47:14Regarding this patient.

0:47:16 > 0:47:17This is a joke.

0:47:17 > 0:47:19No, Ms Naylor, I can assure you it's extremely serious.

0:47:21 > 0:47:24So, Ms Effanga will be scrubbing in very soon.

0:47:25 > 0:47:28May I ask you, please, leave theatre immediately.

0:47:59 > 0:48:01She's doing great.

0:48:02 > 0:48:05That was one of the longest hours of my life.

0:48:07 > 0:48:10Mr Hanssen talk to you about the polyps?

0:48:10 > 0:48:11Yeah.

0:48:11 > 0:48:13So you're OK with the prospect of another op?

0:48:13 > 0:48:14Have to be, won't I...

0:48:21 > 0:48:24I've never really forgotten about Clare...

0:48:28 > 0:48:30I just wish there was more I could've done to help her.

0:48:32 > 0:48:33I'm sure you did your best.

0:48:34 > 0:48:36My best wasn't good enough.

0:48:36 > 0:48:40The hospital explained no-one could have done anything.

0:48:41 > 0:48:43I always wonder...

0:48:43 > 0:48:45What if I reacted quicker?

0:48:47 > 0:48:48What if...

0:48:48 > 0:48:51I spotted the problem sooner...

0:48:51 > 0:48:55I've spent years on maybes and what ifs...

0:48:56 > 0:48:58They're a waste of time.

0:49:03 > 0:49:05It's the biggest regret of my life.

0:49:05 > 0:49:07Clare didn't do regrets.

0:49:10 > 0:49:12I'm so sorry.

0:49:12 > 0:49:13Thank you.

0:49:16 > 0:49:17Excuse me.

0:49:31 > 0:49:33Knock, knock.

0:49:34 > 0:49:35Hello.

0:49:37 > 0:49:40- Sorry. I don't know what that was... - It's fine, it's fine...

0:49:42 > 0:49:44Look, I just wanted to say I'm sorry about earlier.

0:49:45 > 0:49:47Well, freaking out on you...

0:49:47 > 0:49:48Just...

0:49:49 > 0:49:51..they were my best moves.

0:49:52 > 0:49:55I don't really know where to go from here.

0:49:55 > 0:49:56Oh, God, Dan.

0:49:56 > 0:49:58I didn't mean to...

0:49:58 > 0:49:59I'm only messing...

0:49:59 > 0:50:00THEY LAUGH

0:50:03 > 0:50:04So...

0:50:04 > 0:50:07you know this competition thing?

0:50:07 > 0:50:09Stupid, really.

0:50:09 > 0:50:10Well, is the offer still open?

0:50:10 > 0:50:12To come watch you?

0:50:12 > 0:50:13Really?

0:50:13 > 0:50:14As friends.

0:50:16 > 0:50:18Course.

0:50:18 > 0:50:21It'll do me good to get out of the house anyway.

0:50:21 > 0:50:24I know far too much about the Kardashians these days...

0:50:27 > 0:50:28Cool.

0:50:31 > 0:50:34Mozart's Piano Concerto No. 18,

0:50:34 > 0:50:36B Flat Major,

0:50:36 > 0:50:37K456.

0:50:37 > 0:50:39Movement Three,

0:50:39 > 0:50:41Allegro vivace.

0:50:43 > 0:50:45How's Quiz Champion?

0:50:45 > 0:50:47Not got an answer wrong.

0:50:47 > 0:50:50All right, smart aleck, no need to gloat.

0:50:50 > 0:50:51My name's Seymour, not Aleck.

0:50:54 > 0:50:56Seymour, you know we spoke about autism?

0:50:56 > 0:50:58Autism.

0:50:58 > 0:51:01It's a social communication disorder...

0:51:02 > 0:51:05..sometimes described as Asperger's.

0:51:05 > 0:51:07Well, since your mum's gone,

0:51:07 > 0:51:09life's been difficult, hasn't it?

0:51:09 > 0:51:10No...

0:51:10 > 0:51:12On your own...

0:51:13 > 0:51:14Lonely.

0:51:16 > 0:51:18Seymour...

0:51:18 > 0:51:20how would you feel about talking to a psychiatrist

0:51:20 > 0:51:22who could help you manage?

0:51:24 > 0:51:25Things have really changed.

0:51:27 > 0:51:30People with autism don't have to live in a box.

0:51:31 > 0:51:33You could meet more people like you.

0:51:35 > 0:51:37People who like Quiz Champion.

0:51:43 > 0:51:46Thank you, Fran Reynolds.

0:51:50 > 0:51:52You're welcome.

0:51:54 > 0:51:56KNOCK ON DOOR

0:51:56 > 0:51:57- Come... - DOOR OPENS

0:52:00 > 0:52:01Mr Law.

0:52:01 > 0:52:04It is customary after knocking to await an invitation to come in

0:52:04 > 0:52:06before actually doing so.

0:52:09 > 0:52:10Sorry...

0:52:10 > 0:52:12But that's you all over, isn't it?

0:52:12 > 0:52:14Always in a rush. Rush to get here, rush to get there.

0:52:14 > 0:52:17Never really settling on anything, never seeing anything through!

0:52:18 > 0:52:21I know I, um, failed today...

0:52:21 > 0:52:22Undeniably so!

0:52:26 > 0:52:27But you failed with feeling.

0:52:32 > 0:52:35We have a tough time in today's litigious world, we surgeons.

0:52:37 > 0:52:39Damned if you cut...

0:52:41 > 0:52:42..damned if you don't.

0:52:44 > 0:52:47Hardly surprising that many view us as psychopaths.

0:52:51 > 0:52:54But today, in you, I saw something different.

0:52:55 > 0:52:57Deluge of feeling.

0:53:02 > 0:53:06Look, um, I should explain...

0:53:06 > 0:53:08My history with the...

0:53:08 > 0:53:10What I am saying is...

0:53:10 > 0:53:12you displayed passion...

0:53:15 > 0:53:16..and compassion,

0:53:16 > 0:53:19which, when lacking,

0:53:19 > 0:53:21can undo the best of surgeons.

0:53:24 > 0:53:26So, yes, you failed in some senses,

0:53:26 > 0:53:30but, in others, you are already streets ahead.

0:53:34 > 0:53:36So, um...?

0:53:36 > 0:53:37So, please carry on...

0:53:39 > 0:53:41..and don't let me down.

0:53:47 > 0:53:48Thank you.

0:53:57 > 0:53:59I've spoken to Mr Hanssen.

0:53:59 > 0:54:01Negligence?!

0:54:01 > 0:54:03The patient refused to have surgery.

0:54:03 > 0:54:05He was an inconvenience and you dismissed him because of that.

0:54:05 > 0:54:09I can't force someone to have surgery against their own will.

0:54:09 > 0:54:11Look, have I done something to offend you?

0:54:11 > 0:54:13FRAN LAUGHS

0:54:14 > 0:54:18OK, I admit that perhaps I could've dealt with the pastoral side of things a LITTLE bit better.

0:54:18 > 0:54:20But let's just stop this nonsense.

0:54:20 > 0:54:22Withdraw the complaint...

0:54:22 > 0:54:26You go through life steam-rollering over those you perceive as weak.

0:54:27 > 0:54:29You turn your back on them...

0:54:30 > 0:54:33..because to you, it's all about survival of the fittest

0:54:33 > 0:54:35and screw everyone else!

0:54:35 > 0:54:37You have been here all of five minutes.

0:54:37 > 0:54:39What the hell do you know about me?

0:54:43 > 0:54:45The complaint stands.

0:54:53 > 0:54:54Hey.

0:54:59 > 0:55:01Looks like you're on your own, amigo.

0:55:01 > 0:55:03Sorry?

0:55:03 > 0:55:04In the bad books.

0:55:04 > 0:55:06How come?

0:55:06 > 0:55:09Turns out Scandi-man thinks I'm the bees knees, after all.

0:55:11 > 0:55:12Oh!

0:55:18 > 0:55:19See you later.

0:55:22 > 0:55:25- Moley...- Look, actually I could really do without the...

0:55:25 > 0:55:28Look, I'm sorry - for waking you up last night.

0:55:28 > 0:55:29It won't happen again.

0:55:29 > 0:55:32OK...right.

0:55:33 > 0:55:35Good.

0:55:35 > 0:55:37Do you want to watch TV tonight? Get takeout?

0:55:37 > 0:55:39I presumed you were seeing Lee?

0:55:39 > 0:55:41I don't have to see him every night.

0:55:41 > 0:55:44We can call it recompense or whatever.

0:55:45 > 0:55:47OK.

0:55:47 > 0:55:49- That would be nice.- OK.

0:55:49 > 0:55:52- I've actually recorded...- I'm not watching Brian Cox documentaries.

0:55:52 > 0:55:54OK, I've got one on primitive art. Cave art?

0:55:54 > 0:55:55No!

0:55:57 > 0:55:58Um, how about the history of, um...
