0:00:02 > 0:00:03Haven't you heard? It's the new me.
0:00:03 > 0:00:06- And what was wrong with the old you?- Well, it was old.
0:00:08 > 0:00:09Come on.
0:00:09 > 0:00:11And what about your daughter?
0:00:11 > 0:00:14I last saw her ten years ago at her mum's funeral.
0:00:14 > 0:00:16She's got a new life now, mate.
0:00:16 > 0:00:18She doesn't want to know, I'm sorry.
0:00:18 > 0:00:20Come on, Ellie. Come on, don't do this.
0:00:23 > 0:00:24You need to call Edward.
0:00:26 > 0:00:27Oh, God!
0:01:07 > 0:01:09You all right?
0:01:09 > 0:01:11Don't know.
0:01:11 > 0:01:12Deep breaths.
0:01:15 > 0:01:17Serena?
0:01:18 > 0:01:20- I can't.- It's OK.
0:01:20 > 0:01:22- I just can't. - Maybe it's too soon.
0:01:22 > 0:01:25- I'm sorry.- Don't be.
0:01:25 > 0:01:26Look, I'll run you home.
0:01:26 > 0:01:29- No. I'll walk. - It's miles.
0:01:29 > 0:01:30- Good. - I'd rather...
0:01:30 > 0:01:32Please. I just want to be on my own.
0:01:35 > 0:01:37I'll call you later.
0:01:41 > 0:01:44Yeah, Steve, bed number seven for this gentleman, please.
0:01:44 > 0:01:47Erm, Lou, lady in two needs to go for a CT. Thanks.
0:01:49 > 0:01:52- Ah, hello.- Hi.
0:01:52 > 0:01:54- Welcome back.- Thanks.
0:01:54 > 0:01:57- No Serena?- No. No.
0:01:57 > 0:01:58Was she all right about you coming in today?
0:01:58 > 0:02:00Well, I couldn't stay away for ever.
0:02:00 > 0:02:02I'm sure Ric will call in on her later.
0:02:02 > 0:02:04- Send her my love.- Will do.
0:02:08 > 0:02:10What's all this?
0:02:10 > 0:02:12It was for Elinor.
0:02:12 > 0:02:13Who from?
0:02:14 > 0:02:16Different staff, some of Serena's patients...
0:02:16 > 0:02:18Right.
0:02:18 > 0:02:20We weren't sure whether we should send them on or not.
0:02:20 > 0:02:22No, no. The house is like a florist as it is.
0:02:24 > 0:02:25Starting to look a bit tired.
0:02:25 > 0:02:27Yeah. I know how they feel.
0:02:35 > 0:02:37Doing anything nice at the weekend?
0:02:37 > 0:02:39Got plans to sort my knicker drawer out.
0:02:39 > 0:02:41Do you need a hand?
0:02:41 > 0:02:43- Perv! - HE CHUCKLES
0:02:43 > 0:02:45Do you fancy getting together?
0:02:48 > 0:02:49Maybe...
0:02:49 > 0:02:51How about Saturday night?
0:02:53 > 0:02:55Hi.
0:02:55 > 0:02:56Hi.
0:02:56 > 0:02:58Right, I'll see you out there.
0:03:09 > 0:03:11- Arty? - Hello, my friend.
0:03:11 > 0:03:13- It's all right, I've got him. - It's good to see you.
0:03:13 > 0:03:15Well, I wish I could say the same about you.
0:03:15 > 0:03:16I'm fine.
0:03:16 > 0:03:19- You don't look it. - Just a few scratches.
0:03:19 > 0:03:20Right, what happened?
0:03:20 > 0:03:25I was outside my flat this morning, and I think I fell.
0:03:26 > 0:03:27You think?
0:03:27 > 0:03:30One minute I had the key in the lock,
0:03:30 > 0:03:33and the next I am in an ambulance.
0:03:33 > 0:03:35You weren't out all night on the tiles, were you?
0:03:35 > 0:03:37No. No tiles.
0:03:37 > 0:03:39Here, Bernie, look who it is.
0:03:39 > 0:03:41- Sorry? - It's your poker player mate.
0:03:41 > 0:03:46- Of course. - She has ice in her veins, this one.
0:03:46 > 0:03:47Sorry, I have to get to ITU.
0:03:47 > 0:03:49You couldn't have a little look at him for me, could you?
0:03:49 > 0:03:51Could I refer you to my previous statement?
0:03:51 > 0:03:53I just want him to have the VIP treatment.
0:03:53 > 0:03:55- Er, just give me a minute. - OK.
0:03:55 > 0:03:59I will wait for you as long as you like.
0:04:06 > 0:04:07Is she all right?
0:04:07 > 0:04:10Not really. But you've got enough to worry about.
0:04:11 > 0:04:14Hi. This is Gayle Travis.
0:04:16 > 0:04:17Sacha Levy.
0:04:17 > 0:04:19We meet at last.
0:04:19 > 0:04:22Yes, Gayle transferred from St James'
0:04:22 > 0:04:23to avail herself of our services.
0:04:23 > 0:04:28- Ah.- My original surgeon got a job in the States, and I didn't like
0:04:28 > 0:04:29the look of her replacement.
0:04:29 > 0:04:31Is it Jack Hoolahan?
0:04:31 > 0:04:33Chinless wonder, handshake like a wet fart.
0:04:33 > 0:04:35He hasn't got a great reputation.
0:04:35 > 0:04:36Unlike this guy.
0:04:39 > 0:04:40Sorry?
0:04:40 > 0:04:44People seem to think you're the top man for tumours.
0:04:44 > 0:04:46Well, I'm glad to hear it.
0:04:46 > 0:04:47So, here I am.
0:04:47 > 0:04:48And very welcome you are, too.
0:04:48 > 0:04:50Give me a shout if you need anything.
0:04:50 > 0:04:51Will do.
0:04:51 > 0:04:54- We'll leave you to get settled in. - Thanks.
0:04:57 > 0:04:58Get you.
0:05:00 > 0:05:01What?
0:05:01 > 0:05:03"Top man for tumours".
0:05:03 > 0:05:05Who knows? Maybe it's even true.
0:05:05 > 0:05:09Well, if you give me the bag, I'll get it logged in for you.
0:05:09 > 0:05:11I'd rather keep it with me.
0:05:11 > 0:05:13We'll just put it in a locker with all your stuff.
0:05:13 > 0:05:15Not the bag.
0:05:15 > 0:05:16- Why, what's...? - It stays here.
0:05:18 > 0:05:20- At your own risk. - That's fine.
0:05:25 > 0:05:27So, what's in the bag?
0:05:27 > 0:05:30- SINGSONG:- Wouldn't you like to know?
0:05:30 > 0:05:32Yes, which is why I'm asking you.
0:05:34 > 0:05:35Draw the curtains.
0:05:35 > 0:05:38- Eh?- We need privacy.
0:05:40 > 0:05:43Jo, could you pull the curtain round for me, please?
0:05:49 > 0:05:51What have you been up to? FLETCH GASPS
0:05:53 > 0:05:54Is that real?
0:05:54 > 0:05:56It is very real.
0:05:57 > 0:05:59- How much is in there? - A lot.
0:05:59 > 0:06:02- Yeah, well, I can see that. - It's beautiful, no?
0:06:05 > 0:06:07- Where did you get it? - A casino.
0:06:07 > 0:06:09You were at the casino?
0:06:09 > 0:06:10It was just one night.
0:06:10 > 0:06:12You promised me that you'd be taking things easy.
0:06:12 > 0:06:14I was feeling lucky.
0:06:15 > 0:06:17Well, you got that right.
0:06:17 > 0:06:18It was like a dream.
0:06:20 > 0:06:22What was it? Roulette? Blackjack?
0:06:22 > 0:06:25Card table. Texas Hold 'Em.
0:06:25 > 0:06:29I walked in with £1,000,
0:06:29 > 0:06:32and I walked out with this.
0:06:33 > 0:06:35So you just strolled into the casino with a bag of...
0:06:35 > 0:06:37You know me, Fletch.
0:06:39 > 0:06:43- You jammy little... - It was not just luck.
0:06:44 > 0:06:46- We really need to put that away. - No.
0:06:46 > 0:06:47Arty, come on...
0:06:47 > 0:06:52I don't want to let it out of my sight.
0:06:57 > 0:06:58OK, then.
0:07:00 > 0:07:02It's your call.
0:07:08 > 0:07:11Single incision laparoscopic partial gastrectomy.
0:07:11 > 0:07:13It's a brand spanking new procedure.
0:07:13 > 0:07:14Not experimental, I hope.
0:07:14 > 0:07:16No. Just cutting-edge.
0:07:16 > 0:07:18And you've done it before.
0:07:18 > 0:07:21I am one of the privileged few.
0:07:21 > 0:07:23Sounds like I made the right decision, then.
0:07:23 > 0:07:27It's minimally invasive. All the kit goes through one small hole.
0:07:27 > 0:07:29It's much more delicate.
0:07:29 > 0:07:31They're the hands of a magician.
0:07:31 > 0:07:33You know, Dynamo's got nothing on me.
0:07:35 > 0:07:37And the scarring?
0:07:37 > 0:07:41Using this technique, it's a lot more cosmetically pleasing.
0:07:41 > 0:07:42Excellent.
0:07:42 > 0:07:45If single incision doesn't work out, we might have to revert to
0:07:45 > 0:07:48an open procedure, but that's just worst-case scenario.
0:07:48 > 0:07:49OK, well,
0:07:49 > 0:07:51let's get this godforsaken thing out of my body, then.
0:07:51 > 0:07:54Good. Anyone we need to call for an update?
0:07:54 > 0:07:55No.
0:07:55 > 0:07:59As with most things, I'm better off dealing with it on my own.
0:07:59 > 0:08:01We have a range of support services if...
0:08:01 > 0:08:04You don't get to be CEO of a firm worth millions by off-loading
0:08:04 > 0:08:06to a counsellor every time you break a nail.
0:08:06 > 0:08:09I think a stromal tumour is a little bit worse than a broken nail.
0:08:09 > 0:08:11You know what I mean.
0:08:11 > 0:08:13Yeah, we walk this earth alone.
0:08:13 > 0:08:17Bit OTT for me, but, essentially, yeah.
0:08:21 > 0:08:22Breathe in.
0:08:22 > 0:08:25We'll do our best to get you home as soon as possible.
0:08:25 > 0:08:26He's only just been admitted.
0:08:26 > 0:08:28- I know, but...- And out.
0:08:29 > 0:08:32He, erm... He had a bit of luck at the casino last night,
0:08:32 > 0:08:34and he's still got his winnings on him.
0:08:34 > 0:08:36- Really? - It is rather a lot of cash.
0:08:36 > 0:08:38- Keep it down. - OK, where is it?
0:08:43 > 0:08:45- Good God.- Yeah!
0:08:45 > 0:08:48Luckiest night of my life.
0:08:48 > 0:08:51We can't have money like that lying around on the ward.
0:08:51 > 0:08:53I did tell him.
0:08:53 > 0:08:55You didn't insist on logging it in?
0:08:55 > 0:08:57- I tried.- It's my fault.
0:08:57 > 0:09:00Mr Chernik, having cash like that on the premises
0:09:00 > 0:09:03- represents a serious security risk. - Now you're in trouble.
0:09:03 > 0:09:05We need to get it in to the hospital safe immediately.
0:09:05 > 0:09:07I want it with me.
0:09:08 > 0:09:09Mr Chernik...
0:09:11 > 0:09:13I'd do as you're told now, mate.
0:09:14 > 0:09:16Thank you.
0:09:16 > 0:09:18Could you do the paperwork, please, Fletch?
0:09:18 > 0:09:20Yep. 'Course.
0:09:20 > 0:09:21And the usual bloods, please.
0:09:23 > 0:09:25Pulses in his feet are uneven.
0:09:26 > 0:09:28I'd like to go straight for a CT scan.
0:09:28 > 0:09:29Right, will do.
0:09:35 > 0:09:38I see we have a perfect candidate for our stent on the list.
0:09:38 > 0:09:40Do we?
0:09:40 > 0:09:41- Trachemalacia. - Good.
0:09:41 > 0:09:44- He's on Mo Effanga's books. - Oh, yeah?
0:09:44 > 0:09:46He's down for a tracheal resection.
0:09:46 > 0:09:48Well, she's not here, so let's poach him.
0:09:48 > 0:09:49My thinking exactly.
0:09:49 > 0:09:51Good. Get it done.
0:09:51 > 0:09:53- And Valentine? - What about him?
0:09:53 > 0:09:55- He's down to operate. - Was.
0:09:55 > 0:09:58- You're not worried about his reaction?- No.
0:09:58 > 0:10:00This is why we make such a great team.
0:10:00 > 0:10:02- Why is that? - You are so beautifully brutal.
0:10:02 > 0:10:04Ha! Am I really(?)
0:10:04 > 0:10:05We are the perfect combination.
0:10:05 > 0:10:07Yeah, is that so?
0:10:07 > 0:10:09It could be the same outside of work, too.
0:10:09 > 0:10:11Dream on, Rossini.
0:10:11 > 0:10:14I will, Ms Naylor, don't you worry about that.
0:10:16 > 0:10:19ARTEM HUMS A TUNE
0:10:19 > 0:10:20You enjoyed that, didn't you?
0:10:22 > 0:10:23Right, up you get, slowly.
0:10:27 > 0:10:30Your gown's open at the back there, mate.
0:10:30 > 0:10:33Looks like you're flashing all the nurses.
0:10:33 > 0:10:34Only the pretty ones.
0:10:35 > 0:10:37You've got a bit of bruising on your back there.
0:10:37 > 0:10:38Have I?
0:10:38 > 0:10:41Yeah, and it doesn't look like it came from the fall.
0:10:41 > 0:10:42I can't remember.
0:10:43 > 0:10:45You, er...?
0:10:45 > 0:10:48- Something you're not telling me? - No.
0:10:48 > 0:10:50You wouldn't be telling me porkies, now, would you?
0:10:50 > 0:10:54- ARTEM SIGHS - OK. Someone tried to rob me.
0:10:54 > 0:10:56What?
0:10:56 > 0:10:57After I left the casino.
0:10:57 > 0:10:59You're kidding me.
0:10:59 > 0:11:01It was dawn. I thought I'd walk home.
0:11:03 > 0:11:04With all that money on you?
0:11:04 > 0:11:06The sunrise was beautiful.
0:11:08 > 0:11:09Why didn't you tell me?
0:11:09 > 0:11:13I was afraid you'd be angry with me for staying out all night.
0:11:13 > 0:11:14Too right, I would be.
0:11:14 > 0:11:17I have been a good boy, honest.
0:11:17 > 0:11:18I could marmalise you, you daft old git.
0:11:18 > 0:11:21- I'm sorry. - So you should be.
0:11:22 > 0:11:24So, you got anything juicy on the books?
0:11:24 > 0:11:26How does a GIST tumour grab you?
0:11:26 > 0:11:27Oh, spot on.
0:11:27 > 0:11:30I thought you'd be bored, coming to Keller from AAU.
0:11:30 > 0:11:34Yeah, me too, actually, but I was wrong to be.
0:11:34 > 0:11:35Going to do it SIL.
0:11:35 > 0:11:38- Really? - You OK with that?
0:11:38 > 0:11:40I've only ever seen that performed once.
0:11:40 > 0:11:42- I've done it a few times. - Right.
0:11:42 > 0:11:43Never had a problem.
0:11:43 > 0:11:45Great.
0:11:45 > 0:11:47That's the patient. Gayle Travis.
0:11:47 > 0:11:50Ah, yeah. I hear she's a big fan of yours.
0:11:50 > 0:11:52You've been talking to Essie?
0:11:52 > 0:11:53Yeah.
0:11:56 > 0:11:59I suppose that's another reason to be working up here.
0:11:59 > 0:12:00Sorry?
0:12:00 > 0:12:03Well, she's the best nurse in the hospital, by a mile.
0:12:05 > 0:12:06Yeah, so...
0:12:06 > 0:12:08So, the single incision...
0:12:09 > 0:12:11Yeah, it's much neater.
0:12:15 > 0:12:17- Are you OK? - Yeah.
0:12:17 > 0:12:20- Is it hot in here? - No more than usual.
0:12:22 > 0:12:25- Have you heard from Cameron? - No.
0:12:25 > 0:12:27Has he started at New Green yet?
0:12:27 > 0:12:28I don't know.
0:12:28 > 0:12:31- It's weird, not having him around. - Is it?
0:12:33 > 0:12:34Sorry.
0:12:35 > 0:12:38I just wanted you to know that, shortly before
0:12:38 > 0:12:40Arty Chernik's collapse, he was involved in an incident.
0:12:40 > 0:12:43How do you mean?
0:12:43 > 0:12:44Someone tried to mug him.
0:12:44 > 0:12:46What?!
0:12:46 > 0:12:48I noticed some bruising on his back.
0:12:48 > 0:12:50And he's only just told you this now?
0:12:50 > 0:12:52I just wanted to keep you in the picture.
0:12:52 > 0:12:54Get Dr Digby to take a look at him.
0:12:54 > 0:12:57I think he'd prefer it if you did it.
0:12:57 > 0:12:59I can get Dr Digby to take a look.
0:13:02 > 0:13:03Breast cancer at 17.
0:13:03 > 0:13:06Mm. Some girls have all the luck(!)
0:13:06 > 0:13:07A double mastectomy at that age -
0:13:07 > 0:13:09I can't imagine how tough that must've been.
0:13:09 > 0:13:11Did me a massive favour.
0:13:11 > 0:13:12How's that?
0:13:12 > 0:13:15Made me realise there was no time to waste.
0:13:15 > 0:13:18Which is what brings me here, Mr Levy.
0:13:18 > 0:13:19Asking you to save my neck.
0:13:19 > 0:13:23I had a look at your scan, and the tumour is in quite a tricky spot.
0:13:23 > 0:13:24It's not that tricky.
0:13:24 > 0:13:27So you're aware that it is an intricate procedure?
0:13:27 > 0:13:29I've covered that in detail.
0:13:29 > 0:13:32- Yeah, I know, I'm just... - Just what?
0:13:35 > 0:13:38Er, OK, I'll let you get on.
0:13:38 > 0:13:41Thank you, Mr di Lucca.
0:13:45 > 0:13:48- Got to show them who's boss. - Yeah, exactly.
0:13:48 > 0:13:50Otherwise they start taking liberties.
0:13:56 > 0:13:58'So, did he just come out of nowhere?'
0:13:58 > 0:13:59Must have followed me.
0:13:59 > 0:14:01Did you recognise him?
0:14:01 > 0:14:02It was all a blur.
0:14:02 > 0:14:04You fought him off, though, didn't you, mate?
0:14:04 > 0:14:07As a boy, I was a champion boxer.
0:14:07 > 0:14:09- Really? - The skills - they never leave you.
0:14:11 > 0:14:14You know, the casino's probably got him on CCTV.
0:14:14 > 0:14:16- Yeah.- Yeah, you should phone the police about that.
0:14:16 > 0:14:18Maybe you could identify him.
0:14:18 > 0:14:20I don't want any trouble.
0:14:20 > 0:14:21I'll do it for you, if you want.
0:14:21 > 0:14:26You're very kind, but I just want to go home as soon as I can.
0:14:27 > 0:14:30Is there anyone who can keep an eye on you?
0:14:30 > 0:14:31I am OK on my own.
0:14:33 > 0:14:36- Still nothing from your daughter? - No.
0:14:36 > 0:14:37You all right there, mate?
0:14:37 > 0:14:38Yeah, fine.
0:14:41 > 0:14:43He looks after me, this boy...
0:14:43 > 0:14:45He looks after us all.
0:14:48 > 0:14:49Hey.
0:14:49 > 0:14:52- What was that all about? - What?
0:14:52 > 0:14:55Earlier, with Gayle Travis. Why were you trying to spook her?
0:14:55 > 0:14:58I'm concerned about the position of her tumour.
0:14:58 > 0:15:00- Well, I'm not. - Given how low it is down her pelvis,
0:15:00 > 0:15:03- are you sure you can get proper access laparoscopically?- Yes.
0:15:03 > 0:15:05My worry is you won't get a good enough view.
0:15:05 > 0:15:07- There's minimal body fat to get through.- Even so...
0:15:07 > 0:15:09- I'll be doing the hard work. - Yeah, I know that...
0:15:09 > 0:15:11I mean, you'll just be holding my coat.
0:15:11 > 0:15:12That's a bit unnecessary.
0:15:12 > 0:15:14And Gayle is happy to take this route.
0:15:14 > 0:15:17Well, just as long as you've given her the full picture.
0:15:17 > 0:15:19She has every confidence in my surgery skills.
0:15:19 > 0:15:22Look, I can see that, but what if you have to abandon the SIL,
0:15:22 > 0:15:24open her up and she's left with a massive scar?
0:15:24 > 0:15:28Well, in my opinion, there is very little chance of that happening.
0:15:28 > 0:15:30Raised expectations are a dangerous thing.
0:15:30 > 0:15:33Shall I tell you what my expectations are?
0:15:33 > 0:15:35My expectations are that you will assist me
0:15:35 > 0:15:38in theatre, and we will remove this tumour as planned...
0:15:38 > 0:15:40- I just wanted...- ..because this is beginning to sound like you have
0:15:40 > 0:15:42no faith whatsoever in my professional judgment.
0:15:42 > 0:15:45- That's not what I'm saying. - Now, would you prefer it
0:15:45 > 0:15:47if I gave this job to Mr Mayfield?
0:15:47 > 0:15:48No.
0:15:48 > 0:15:49Good.
0:15:51 > 0:15:52Are you OK, mate?
0:15:54 > 0:15:56Yes. Yes, I'm fine.
0:16:05 > 0:16:06HE SIGHS
0:16:15 > 0:16:16Do you think he knows?
0:16:16 > 0:16:18Do I think who knows what?
0:16:18 > 0:16:20Sacha...about us.
0:16:22 > 0:16:25Well, there's something not right.
0:16:25 > 0:16:27Maybe we should tell him?
0:16:27 > 0:16:30- We could, but...- What?
0:16:31 > 0:16:34..I just don't want to hurt his feelings.
0:16:34 > 0:16:37Maybe we should knock it on the head, then.
0:16:37 > 0:16:39Do you really want to do that?
0:16:40 > 0:16:41No.
0:16:43 > 0:16:44Me neither.
0:16:50 > 0:16:51Any news on Arty's scan?
0:16:51 > 0:16:53Just about to talk him through it.
0:16:53 > 0:16:55Well, do you mind if I tag along?
0:16:55 > 0:16:56If you insist.
0:17:02 > 0:17:04- What is it? - It's all right, it's only us.
0:17:04 > 0:17:07Just wanted a chat about your test results.
0:17:07 > 0:17:09OK.
0:17:09 > 0:17:12The superficial injuries from your fall and the mugging
0:17:12 > 0:17:14haven't left any lasting damage.
0:17:14 > 0:17:15So that's good.
0:17:15 > 0:17:17However, there are some other areas of concern.
0:17:19 > 0:17:20Right...
0:17:20 > 0:17:24Firstly, you're septic, due to a urinary infection.
0:17:25 > 0:17:27Is it serious?
0:17:27 > 0:17:29We can give you an antibiotic to deal with that.
0:17:29 > 0:17:31And that should sort that right out.
0:17:31 > 0:17:35More worryingly, the scan has revealed a large...
0:17:35 > 0:17:38abdominal aortic aneurysm.
0:17:39 > 0:17:42That's... Well, that's a just a bit of a mouthful, innit?
0:17:42 > 0:17:44It's a swelling in the aorta,
0:17:44 > 0:17:48which is the large blood vessel leading away from your heart.
0:17:48 > 0:17:50Right...
0:17:50 > 0:17:53It's about six centimetres in diameter,
0:17:53 > 0:17:55which is a considerable size,
0:17:55 > 0:17:57and it's been there for some time.
0:17:59 > 0:18:00Is it dangerous?
0:18:00 > 0:18:02Yes.
0:18:02 > 0:18:05There's no telling when an aneurysm will rupture or start to leak.
0:18:08 > 0:18:10You can fix it, though?
0:18:10 > 0:18:13We can...we can operate, can't we?
0:18:14 > 0:18:16You're far too weak at present.
0:18:16 > 0:18:19We'd like to get the infection under control.
0:18:20 > 0:18:23Hopefully, we can deal with it before it ruptures.
0:18:26 > 0:18:30So this couldn't happen while we wait?
0:18:30 > 0:18:32You just concentrate on rest and recovery.
0:18:32 > 0:18:34I couldn't die, or...?
0:18:34 > 0:18:37N-No, no-one said anything about dying.
0:18:37 > 0:18:40And leave me to deal with the problem.
0:18:40 > 0:18:42So no playing poker with him over there, all right?
0:18:42 > 0:18:43HE LAUGHS
0:18:43 > 0:18:4515 minute obs, please, Fletch,
0:18:45 > 0:18:47and as soon as there's an improvement, you let me know.
0:18:54 > 0:18:55You, my friend...
0:18:55 > 0:18:57are nothing but trouble.
0:18:59 > 0:19:02I know Ms Effanga had planned to perform a tracheal resection.
0:19:02 > 0:19:04- Lovely woman, Mo.- I know.
0:19:04 > 0:19:06Heart of solid gold.
0:19:06 > 0:19:09But we have an alternative surgery we'd like you to consider.
0:19:09 > 0:19:10Are you from Rome?
0:19:10 > 0:19:12No.
0:19:12 > 0:19:14Most romantic city in the world.
0:19:14 > 0:19:15I prefer Venezia myself.
0:19:15 > 0:19:17Never in a million years.
0:19:18 > 0:19:20Anyway, we have developed a stent
0:19:20 > 0:19:24we can put in for you, instead of having to do the big operation.
0:19:24 > 0:19:27- Stent?- It's an innovation we have been working on.
0:19:27 > 0:19:28And Mo's OK with it?
0:19:28 > 0:19:31It's something we introduced in her absence, so...
0:19:32 > 0:19:35- Would you be operating?- Yeah.
0:19:35 > 0:19:36And Mr Valentine?
0:19:36 > 0:19:39No, with Ms Naylor, one of our best surgeons.
0:19:41 > 0:19:43That wouldn't be Jac Naylor?
0:19:43 > 0:19:44Yes.
0:19:46 > 0:19:48- OK.- You want to go ahead?
0:19:48 > 0:19:49Definitely.
0:19:49 > 0:19:52Fantastic. You won't regret it.
0:19:52 > 0:19:54I'm sure I won't.
0:20:05 > 0:20:08Right, let's see how you're doing.
0:20:08 > 0:20:10Is the infection getting better?
0:20:10 > 0:20:11DEVICE BEEPS
0:20:11 > 0:20:13Not yet.
0:20:13 > 0:20:14How long will it take?
0:20:14 > 0:20:17Uh, I don't know, it's hard to say.
0:20:19 > 0:20:22- I am a little bit scared, Fletch. - Yeah, I know you are.
0:20:22 > 0:20:24I really could die from this thing.
0:20:24 > 0:20:25Will you pack that in?
0:20:25 > 0:20:28- Maybe my luck ran out after all. - HE LAUGHS
0:20:28 > 0:20:30- Not a chance. - How can you say that?
0:20:30 > 0:20:32Because the aneurysm was all ready to go "bang".
0:20:32 > 0:20:34Now, if you hadn't have taken the tumble,
0:20:34 > 0:20:36it might have happened to you at home.
0:20:38 > 0:20:39I suppose so.
0:20:39 > 0:20:43Instead, you're surrounded by a team that are ready to fix you right up.
0:20:43 > 0:20:45- HE LAUGHS - I didn't think of it like that.
0:20:45 > 0:20:48- See? Your luck's holding. - As long as you are here.
0:20:48 > 0:20:49Now, that's the spirit.
0:20:49 > 0:20:51Would you do me favour?
0:20:51 > 0:20:54- Yeah, anything. - Could you call my daughter?
0:20:54 > 0:20:55Are you sure about that?
0:20:55 > 0:20:57I have to speak to her.
0:20:57 > 0:20:58HE SIGHS
0:20:58 > 0:21:00I'll try, but I just don't know if...
0:21:00 > 0:21:01I know it is probably pointless.
0:21:01 > 0:21:03I-I just don't want you getting upset.
0:21:03 > 0:21:05I promise to keep calm.
0:21:06 > 0:21:07The way it ended at Christmas...
0:21:07 > 0:21:09There are things I have to say...
0:21:13 > 0:21:14..just in case.
0:21:20 > 0:21:22I'll give it a try for ya.
0:21:27 > 0:21:28Well?
0:21:29 > 0:21:31He took some persuading, but...
0:21:31 > 0:21:34But you won him over with your continental charm?
0:21:34 > 0:21:35Always works in the end.
0:21:35 > 0:21:37I suppose I should say "well done".
0:21:37 > 0:21:40- Ah, the axis of evil.- Aw, flattery will get you everywhere.
0:21:40 > 0:21:43- Just saw the revised list. - He's opted for the stent.
0:21:43 > 0:21:45- Without a word of consultation? - He's Mo patient.
0:21:45 > 0:21:46Yeah, and she's not here.
0:21:46 > 0:21:48Oh, you're finishing each other's sentences now?
0:21:48 > 0:21:50- BOTH:- No.
0:21:50 > 0:21:51HE LAUGHS
0:21:51 > 0:21:54You know, sulking really doesn't suit you.
0:22:00 > 0:22:02Oliver?
0:22:03 > 0:22:06Would assisting Mr Rossini put the smile back on your face?
0:22:06 > 0:22:07- Excuse me?- Not particularly, no.
0:22:07 > 0:22:09Well, it wasn't really an offer, it was an order.
0:22:09 > 0:22:12- But I thought...- Listen, he has to get involved
0:22:12 > 0:22:13- somewhere along the line.- Do I?
0:22:13 > 0:22:14May as well be today.
0:22:23 > 0:22:25I heard about Arty's triple A.
0:22:25 > 0:22:27He's sitting there waiting for a bomb to go off.
0:22:27 > 0:22:29Yeah, he must be petrified.
0:22:30 > 0:22:32Is there nothing else that she could do?
0:22:32 > 0:22:34Doesn't sound like it.
0:22:34 > 0:22:37Come on, brainbox, surely you can come up with a plan B?
0:22:39 > 0:22:41I'll have a think.
0:22:41 > 0:22:44- Anything. You know, no matter how obscure.- OK.
0:22:48 > 0:22:50Hello.
0:22:52 > 0:22:54- What are you doing here?- Hiding.
0:22:54 > 0:22:55Who from?
0:22:55 > 0:22:57No comment.
0:22:57 > 0:22:59Still battling with your surgical nemesis?
0:22:59 > 0:23:00Always.
0:23:00 > 0:23:03Although, irritatingly, he does come up with some very good ideas
0:23:03 > 0:23:05for a total arse.
0:23:06 > 0:23:08Medicine's one thing - what about loyalty?
0:23:08 > 0:23:12Well, I'm afraid medicine wins that one for me every time.
0:23:12 > 0:23:14I guess that's where you and me differ.
0:23:16 > 0:23:17What's wrong?
0:23:19 > 0:23:21- Nothing.- Liar.
0:23:24 > 0:23:28I think there might be something going on between Essie and Raf.
0:23:28 > 0:23:30What makes you say that?
0:23:30 > 0:23:32Dunno, just a hunch.
0:23:32 > 0:23:34I take it you're bothered?
0:23:34 > 0:23:35It's nothing to do with me.
0:23:35 > 0:23:37That's not what I asked.
0:23:39 > 0:23:41I suppose so.
0:23:42 > 0:23:44Wow, talk about grand passion(!)
0:23:44 > 0:23:46It's not like I-I want her back.
0:23:46 > 0:23:47Well, then.
0:23:49 > 0:23:51This chat's been a great help.
0:23:51 > 0:23:53- Glad to be of service. - THEY LAUGH
0:23:54 > 0:23:56I know you want to play it safe, but I think
0:23:56 > 0:23:58what Morven's come up with is a winner.
0:23:58 > 0:23:59Go on.
0:23:59 > 0:24:02Well, given the position of the aneurysm,
0:24:02 > 0:24:04if we took an endovascular approach,
0:24:04 > 0:24:06we can employ stents to exclude it.
0:24:07 > 0:24:08Right...
0:24:08 > 0:24:11Even with the sepsis, his chances of surviving
0:24:11 > 0:24:13less invasive surgery are way higher.
0:24:13 > 0:24:16The problem is, the position of the aneurysm -
0:24:16 > 0:24:18next to such vital vessels -
0:24:18 > 0:24:20means we'd be risking paralysis,
0:24:20 > 0:24:22bowel ischemia, kidney failure.
0:24:22 > 0:24:26He's already been through pneumonia and urosepsis.
0:24:26 > 0:24:27Whatever the approach, Morven,
0:24:27 > 0:24:30there's a very strong chance he could die in theatre anyway.
0:24:30 > 0:24:32So the alternative is to do nothing?
0:24:32 > 0:24:33Sitting it out isn't doing nothing.
0:24:33 > 0:24:36I'm scared that if we wait, he'll die.
0:24:37 > 0:24:38It's got to be worth the risk.
0:24:38 > 0:24:40Giving him a fighting chance has got to be better
0:24:40 > 0:24:43- than doing nothing at all. - As I've already explained...
0:24:43 > 0:24:45- Yeah, we've been here before, haven't we?- Sorry?
0:24:45 > 0:24:47Why are you not trusting my instincts this time?
0:24:53 > 0:24:56Why does he matter so much, Fletch?
0:24:56 > 0:24:58I don't know.
0:24:58 > 0:25:00Maybe it's because he's got absolutely nobody else
0:25:00 > 0:25:02looking out for him?
0:25:02 > 0:25:05We get lots of patients in the same situation through our doors.
0:25:08 > 0:25:10He just reminds me of my dad.
0:25:14 > 0:25:17- Let me think about it.- Seriously?
0:25:17 > 0:25:18It's not a yes.
0:25:33 > 0:25:35HE BREATHES HEAVILY
0:25:37 > 0:25:38HE BREATHES HEAVILY
0:25:46 > 0:25:47HE BREATHES RAGGEDLY
0:25:55 > 0:25:57- Need a lift?- I'm fine.
0:25:57 > 0:25:58Come on.
0:26:00 > 0:26:01If you insist.
0:26:04 > 0:26:06So what does your company do?
0:26:06 > 0:26:08We're in aviation.
0:26:08 > 0:26:09You're an airline?
0:26:09 > 0:26:12No, we engineer parts for planes - landing gear, that sort of thing.
0:26:12 > 0:26:13That's impressive.
0:26:13 > 0:26:16Yeah, we like to think we're good at what we do.
0:26:16 > 0:26:19So how big is your workforce?
0:26:19 > 0:26:21Globally, a couple of thousand.
0:26:21 > 0:26:22What, and you're the boss?
0:26:22 > 0:26:24Yup, that's me. SHE GROANS
0:26:25 > 0:26:28I'm surprised you didn't get this done privately.
0:26:28 > 0:26:29Why?
0:26:29 > 0:26:31You're the best there is,
0:26:31 > 0:26:33and I pay my taxes.
0:26:33 > 0:26:35Fair enough.
0:26:37 > 0:26:39- Gayle?- Mm?- You OK?
0:26:41 > 0:26:43Last-minute nerves.
0:26:43 > 0:26:45- No need.- Stupid.
0:26:45 > 0:26:47I'm Dynamo, remember?
0:26:47 > 0:26:49Has my colleague put you off?
0:26:49 > 0:26:51No.
0:26:51 > 0:26:53Cos, you know, there's no time for second guessing.
0:26:55 > 0:26:57Now you're taking liberties.
0:27:01 > 0:27:04- I was joking.- "Taking liberties"? - It was what you said earlier...
0:27:04 > 0:27:06I am about to have life-threatening surgery.
0:27:06 > 0:27:09Yes, I know, and it's a surgery that I would like to perform.
0:27:09 > 0:27:11- I'm just another box to be ticked for you, aren't I?- No.
0:27:11 > 0:27:13- Please, please... - To get your stats up?- Gayle...
0:27:13 > 0:27:15Leave me alone.
0:27:16 > 0:27:17Please.
0:27:31 > 0:27:33FLETCH: Look, I would really appreciate it
0:27:33 > 0:27:34if you'd just hear him out.
0:27:34 > 0:27:36This could be the last opportunity you have to...
0:27:38 > 0:27:39You will?
0:27:41 > 0:27:44Uh, OK, I'll...I'll put him on now.
0:27:44 > 0:27:47No, no, stay where you are. HE GROANS
0:27:47 > 0:27:49Hello?
0:27:49 > 0:27:51Hello?
0:27:51 > 0:27:53- Sydney! - HE LAUGHS
0:27:54 > 0:27:55I'll leave you to it.
0:27:56 > 0:27:59Wonderful to hear you.
0:27:59 > 0:28:00- OK, you're on.- Eh?
0:28:00 > 0:28:02- Let's get him prepped.- Yeah?
0:28:02 > 0:28:04Yeah, you're right...
0:28:04 > 0:28:06it's a risk worth taking.
0:28:08 > 0:28:09I'm sure you know your stuff,
0:28:09 > 0:28:12but I'd rather discuss the op with Jac Naylor.
0:28:12 > 0:28:15- I'm afraid Ms Naylor is unavailable. - Well, there she is now. Jackie!
0:28:27 > 0:28:29- Gabriel.- Hello, stranger.
0:28:29 > 0:28:30You two know each other?
0:28:30 > 0:28:32Er, you could say that.
0:28:32 > 0:28:34We went to uni together.
0:28:34 > 0:28:36When she says "together", she means (together).
0:28:36 > 0:28:39- No. No, no.- You were...? - Student lovers.
0:28:39 > 0:28:41Lucky boy.
0:28:41 > 0:28:42We were nothing of the sort.
0:28:42 > 0:28:45- We got through a whole lotta lovin' back in the day.- Really?
0:28:45 > 0:28:47- Matteo.- You two aren't...?
0:28:47 > 0:28:49Oh, God, no.
0:28:49 > 0:28:51Can't see a ring on that finger.
0:28:51 > 0:28:52Jac is an independent woman.
0:28:52 > 0:28:55- Always was...- Well, enough about me. - ..and deeply scary.
0:28:55 > 0:28:57She hasn't changed.
0:28:57 > 0:28:58HE LAUGHS The other students
0:28:58 > 0:29:01used to call her JACULA.
0:29:01 > 0:29:05- Did they?- But to me, she was always Ginger Nut.
0:29:05 > 0:29:06Ginger Nut?
0:29:06 > 0:29:09It's a biscuit. Do they have them in Italy?
0:29:09 > 0:29:12Do you know, I can imagine you two together in your Doctor Martens.
0:29:12 > 0:29:14I'm more of a loafer man, myself.
0:29:14 > 0:29:17- So you were a medical student? - Business Studies.
0:29:17 > 0:29:19Well, I would love to stand here all day and reminisce, but...
0:29:19 > 0:29:21Are you not going to stay and talk me through the op?
0:29:21 > 0:29:26No. No, I'm going to leave you in Mr Rossini's capable hands.
0:29:26 > 0:29:27Tara a bit.
0:29:32 > 0:29:34What a woman.
0:29:34 > 0:29:36OK. There's a slight change of plan.
0:29:38 > 0:29:40- Oh, what's that, then? - I will be leading the op.
0:29:40 > 0:29:42- Eh?!- Unfortunately, Ms Naylor cannot.
0:29:42 > 0:29:45- No, no, no. No.- Excuse me?
0:29:45 > 0:29:47Look, I got into this because of Jac.
0:29:47 > 0:29:50If she's not on case, then you can forget it.
0:29:55 > 0:29:57How'd it go with Sydney?
0:29:57 > 0:30:00I said the things I wanted to say.
0:30:00 > 0:30:03- Good.- Whether she wanted to hear them...
0:30:05 > 0:30:07Did you tell her that you loved her?
0:30:07 > 0:30:09Yes.
0:30:09 > 0:30:10That's all that really matters.
0:30:10 > 0:30:13Keep your children close, Fletch.
0:30:14 > 0:30:16They are too important to lose.
0:30:20 > 0:30:22- I've got some good news.- What?
0:30:23 > 0:30:26I think we've got a way round the waiting game.
0:30:27 > 0:30:30- I don't understand.- Ms Wolfe has agreed to take you into theatre.
0:30:32 > 0:30:36- But I thought it was too dangerous. - This is a different kind of surgery.
0:30:36 > 0:30:38She said...I was too weak.
0:30:38 > 0:30:40Yeah, but doing it this way means
0:30:40 > 0:30:42that we can sort the aneurysm before it sorts you.
0:30:42 > 0:30:43I don't know...
0:30:43 > 0:30:45What?
0:30:46 > 0:30:48What are my odds?
0:30:48 > 0:30:51Well, they're better than lying here waiting for the worst to happen.
0:30:51 > 0:30:53My gut is telling me "no".
0:30:53 > 0:30:54I thought you'd jump at the chance.
0:30:54 > 0:30:56I always listen to this.
0:30:56 > 0:30:58It never lets me down.
0:30:58 > 0:31:01I wouldn't be saying all of this if I didn't think it was for the best.
0:31:01 > 0:31:04What if Sydney decides to come and see me?
0:31:04 > 0:31:06(That's what this is about!)
0:31:06 > 0:31:08And I die before she gets here.
0:31:08 > 0:31:10I didn't think the phone call went that well.
0:31:10 > 0:31:13She could still come tomorrow.
0:31:13 > 0:31:14Did she say that?
0:31:16 > 0:31:18You don't know for sure.
0:31:21 > 0:31:24- Even so...- Maybe it's better...
0:31:24 > 0:31:25if I wait.
0:31:29 > 0:31:32- I really think you should go for it. - Not now.
0:31:32 > 0:31:34- But why?- Not yet.
0:31:37 > 0:31:38Sorry.
0:31:42 > 0:31:44Well, it's your call.
0:32:14 > 0:32:16We've got a problem.
0:32:16 > 0:32:17Gayle Travis?
0:32:17 > 0:32:19She wants you off the case.
0:32:19 > 0:32:21You're kidding me.
0:32:21 > 0:32:22What happened?
0:32:22 > 0:32:24Nothing.
0:32:24 > 0:32:27She said you used inappropriate language.
0:32:27 > 0:32:31- She's pretty hacked off about it. - What on earth did you say?
0:32:31 > 0:32:34- Did she tell you?- No. - Then I'm not going to, either.
0:32:35 > 0:32:37She wants Raf to take over.
0:32:38 > 0:32:40- You're stealing my patient? - I know it's not...
0:32:40 > 0:32:42I'm the reason she came to this hospital in the first place.
0:32:42 > 0:32:44- Yeah, we realise that. - Do you seriously think
0:32:44 > 0:32:47- that I deserve to be taken off this case?- Of course not.
0:32:47 > 0:32:50We know you're not the type to deliberately insult someone...
0:32:50 > 0:32:54- Thank you.- ..but it didn't sound like she'll change her mind.
0:32:54 > 0:32:56- Well, then, I'll apologise. - I don't think...
0:32:56 > 0:32:58- Let me deal with this!- Sacha...
0:33:03 > 0:33:06- Listen, Ms Travis...- Get him out of here.- I am so, so sorry.
0:33:06 > 0:33:09- It's a bit too late for that.- I'm the best doctor for this surgery...
0:33:09 > 0:33:10I should have stuck with St James'...
0:33:10 > 0:33:13- You cannot allow something like this to cloud your judgment.- Mr Levy...
0:33:13 > 0:33:15Will you just let me handle it myself!
0:33:18 > 0:33:21Look, I detest official complaints
0:33:21 > 0:33:23but if you don't walk away,
0:33:23 > 0:33:26I will make this a matter for your CEO.
0:33:26 > 0:33:28Sacha, give it up.
0:33:46 > 0:33:48- Our stent patient.- What about him?
0:33:48 > 0:33:51- I think you should be in theatre with me.- No can do.
0:33:51 > 0:33:54Such an intricate new procedure needs the skills
0:33:54 > 0:33:56- of the finest surgeon in the hospital.- You'll be fine.
0:33:56 > 0:33:58Please, I would like you to lead.
0:34:00 > 0:34:02Has he changed his mind?
0:34:02 > 0:34:04He is having doubts if you're not...
0:34:08 > 0:34:11Have you pulled out of the operation?
0:34:11 > 0:34:14- I want to go back to the thing Mo recommended.- Because of me.
0:34:14 > 0:34:20I want the organ grinder, not the monkey. No offence.
0:34:20 > 0:34:24- Don't be ridiculous!- Anyway, what's so important that you can't do it?
0:34:24 > 0:34:26Something came up.
0:34:26 > 0:34:29I thought you'd make me a priority.
0:34:29 > 0:34:31- Sorry.- Ah, well.
0:34:31 > 0:34:33So, that is it.
0:34:34 > 0:34:36All right! All right!
0:34:36 > 0:34:39I'll cancel my other commitment.
0:34:39 > 0:34:40You'd do that for me?
0:34:40 > 0:34:42If it gets you into theatre.
0:34:42 > 0:34:45It most certainly will.
0:34:45 > 0:34:46Excellent.
0:34:55 > 0:34:59Um, I just had a word with Arty Chernik about his op.
0:34:59 > 0:35:00And?
0:35:00 > 0:35:02He turned it down.
0:35:02 > 0:35:04- Why?- Nerves, I think.
0:35:05 > 0:35:07- Right.- I did try and talk him into it.
0:35:09 > 0:35:11- So, we wait.- Look...
0:35:11 > 0:35:13You couldn't have a word with him, could you?
0:35:13 > 0:35:15- It's his prerogative.- But you might be able to make him see sense.
0:35:15 > 0:35:19- I don't think so.- Please, Bernie... - No, we have to respect his decision.
0:35:19 > 0:35:22- But I...- And I need you to focus on your other patients.
0:35:25 > 0:35:28- What a mess. - I don't know what's got into him.
0:35:28 > 0:35:30He's lucky that she didn't make it official.
0:35:32 > 0:35:34I'm really worried about him.
0:35:34 > 0:35:37He's definitely sussed what's going on.
0:35:47 > 0:35:49(Saturday's a yes, by the way.)
0:35:49 > 0:35:51Great.
0:35:51 > 0:35:53What's Saturday?
0:35:54 > 0:35:55Oh...
0:35:55 > 0:35:57It's, um...
0:36:00 > 0:36:01Go on.
0:36:02 > 0:36:05We were we were planning...
0:36:07 > 0:36:09A dirty weekend?
0:36:09 > 0:36:11Sacha, please...
0:36:11 > 0:36:14You must take me for such an idiot.
0:36:14 > 0:36:15Not at all.
0:36:18 > 0:36:21You couldn't find someone on a different ward?
0:36:22 > 0:36:24We were going to tell you.
0:36:27 > 0:36:29But you couldn't find the right moment.
0:36:35 > 0:36:37- Ah, well...- Sacha...- No, no.
0:36:37 > 0:36:39It's none of my business...anyway.
0:36:45 > 0:36:47- Best-looking girl at college, was Jackie.- Yeah?
0:36:47 > 0:36:49When I met her,
0:36:49 > 0:36:53- it was like someone set off a grenade in my chest.- Really?
0:36:55 > 0:36:58Yeah, no-one ever lived up to Ginger Nut.
0:36:59 > 0:37:02- She was a hard woman to please? - But worth the effort.
0:37:02 > 0:37:03And difficult to get close to?
0:37:03 > 0:37:07- Until you suss what grilled her bacon.- Sorry?
0:37:07 > 0:37:10That's pancetta in your case.
0:37:10 > 0:37:12Very difficult to get close to.
0:37:12 > 0:37:14What was your secret?
0:37:14 > 0:37:18White roses. And Ronan Keating.
0:37:18 > 0:37:21- Who is Ronan Keating? - Singer. Irish.
0:37:21 > 0:37:25Part of a boyband before pursuing a lucrative solo career.
0:37:25 > 0:37:26You are a mine of information.
0:37:26 > 0:37:31I'll never forget making sweet, sweet love to the sound of Boyzone.
0:37:33 > 0:37:34Gabriel, you are one of the most
0:37:34 > 0:37:36fantastic patients I've ever treated.
0:37:36 > 0:37:38You're not so bad yourself.
0:37:39 > 0:37:42You decided against surgery?
0:37:43 > 0:37:44Yes.
0:37:45 > 0:37:48It's not like you to avoid a gamble.
0:37:49 > 0:37:50I am sorry.
0:37:50 > 0:37:52Don't apologise.
0:37:52 > 0:37:54I think I have upset Fletch.
0:37:55 > 0:37:58- It's your decision. - He has been so kind to me.
0:38:01 > 0:38:04You've made quite an impact on him.
0:38:05 > 0:38:10I don't know why, I am not a special man.
0:38:11 > 0:38:13He seems to disagree.
0:38:15 > 0:38:17Are the drugs working yet?
0:38:19 > 0:38:24The infection is proving very tough to shift.
0:38:25 > 0:38:29- I am so tired...- We may need to use a stronger antibiotic.
0:38:31 > 0:38:33Do you think it will help?
0:38:35 > 0:38:37I'm afraid there are no guarantees.
0:38:39 > 0:38:43- OK. Could you do something for me, Doctor?- Yeah, course.
0:38:43 > 0:38:45Could you call this woman?
0:38:45 > 0:38:48I have to speak to her urgently.
0:39:09 > 0:39:11It's only been a couple of weeks.
0:39:12 > 0:39:14You don't have to explain.
0:39:14 > 0:39:16It's just casual.
0:39:17 > 0:39:19How very sophisticated!
0:39:20 > 0:39:22That's why we haven't told you.
0:39:26 > 0:39:28You don't look very well.
0:39:29 > 0:39:31I'm fine.
0:39:51 > 0:39:56So, is it true about the complaint made against Sacha?
0:39:56 > 0:39:59There's no official complaint.
0:39:59 > 0:40:01OK, but he has been binned off this case,
0:40:01 > 0:40:03hence why I've been called in early?
0:40:03 > 0:40:05Just leave it, Dominic.
0:40:06 > 0:40:08That's a yes, then.
0:40:08 > 0:40:10Let's concentrate, shall we?
0:40:14 > 0:40:16Your ex is prepped for theatre.
0:40:16 > 0:40:20- You don't actually believe that clown, do you?- Why would he lie?
0:40:20 > 0:40:22He's a fantasist. Nothing ever happened.
0:40:22 > 0:40:25Even when he played the sweet sounds of Boyzone?
0:40:27 > 0:40:30OK. It was one poxy night, that was it.
0:40:30 > 0:40:32He has never forgotten you.
0:40:33 > 0:40:36Well, all I can remember are his loafers.
0:40:36 > 0:40:37Tassels,
0:40:37 > 0:40:38no socks.
0:40:38 > 0:40:40Oh, God!
0:40:45 > 0:40:46Ronan Keating.
0:40:46 > 0:40:48- I know who it is.- Looks like his CD.
0:40:50 > 0:40:52- Big fan, are you? - No, but you are.
0:40:52 > 0:40:55Not really my thing. That was all him, actually.
0:40:58 > 0:40:59Still, the flowers.
0:40:59 > 0:41:02Well, he snuck out to the local garage while I was asleep
0:41:02 > 0:41:05and when I woke up he was standing at the end of the bed
0:41:05 > 0:41:08holding the white roses, like a nightmare.
0:41:09 > 0:41:12So, you don't like the music and you don't like roses?
0:41:13 > 0:41:15You did this?
0:41:15 > 0:41:17Surprise...(!)
0:41:17 > 0:41:19- SHE SIGHS - You're a very sad man.
0:41:28 > 0:41:31ALARM BEEPS
0:41:34 > 0:41:36You all right, Arty?
0:41:37 > 0:41:39I will do...
0:41:39 > 0:41:41what you suggest.
0:41:41 > 0:41:43Sorry, mate, not with you.
0:41:43 > 0:41:45I will have the surgery.
0:41:46 > 0:41:48- Are you sure about that?- Yes.
0:41:48 > 0:41:50Because I do... I think it's the best thing for you.
0:41:50 > 0:41:52Everything is in order now.
0:41:52 > 0:41:54Right...
0:41:54 > 0:41:58I will take whatever cards I am dealt.
0:41:58 > 0:42:00It's a royal flush, I'm telling ya.
0:42:05 > 0:42:07HE SIGHS
0:42:07 > 0:42:10MONITORS BEEP
0:42:10 > 0:42:14Found the tumour. It was even trickier than on the scan.
0:42:16 > 0:42:19- I told Sacha it would be tough to get to.- But it's doable?
0:42:21 > 0:42:23That's a good question.
0:42:23 > 0:42:24OK...
0:42:24 > 0:42:26Walking the small bowel.
0:42:33 > 0:42:36No other growths. Cutting device, please.
0:42:42 > 0:42:44HE TAKES DEEP BREATH
0:42:45 > 0:42:49- Is there a problem?- I'm starting to wonder if this was a bad idea.
0:42:56 > 0:42:59Mr Levy. You shouldn't be in here.
0:42:59 > 0:43:01How's it going?
0:43:02 > 0:43:04I'm not sure I can get the whole thing out.
0:43:05 > 0:43:06Yes, you can.
0:43:06 > 0:43:09- I'm thinking of reverting to an open procedure.- No, no. No, look.
0:43:10 > 0:43:13This was the patient's choice.
0:43:13 > 0:43:17- We can't let her down.- I am not confident in this procedure.
0:43:19 > 0:43:20You hold your nerve.
0:43:28 > 0:43:29INSTRUMENTS CLATTER
0:43:32 > 0:43:34Are you OK?
0:43:34 > 0:43:35Has the air-con...?
0:43:35 > 0:43:38- CRASHING AND CLATTERING - Someone help him!
0:43:38 > 0:43:39Take over.
0:43:45 > 0:43:46- 'Fletch?- Yeah?'
0:43:46 > 0:43:49- If I don't make it... - Eh, no more talk like that.
0:43:49 > 0:43:52..I want you to know how grateful I am.
0:43:53 > 0:43:55Thank you, son.
0:44:05 > 0:44:09- I hope you didn't think I was prying, earlier.- Sorry?
0:44:09 > 0:44:12When I asked about Cameron.
0:44:12 > 0:44:13No.
0:44:13 > 0:44:15No, not at all.
0:44:15 > 0:44:18I just wish he would have given it longer here, you know?
0:44:20 > 0:44:21So do I.
0:44:21 > 0:44:22ALARMS SOUND
0:44:22 > 0:44:25- BP's dropping. - Aneurysm's ruptured.
0:44:25 > 0:44:28Right, we need to get this bleed under control now. Scalpel, please?
0:44:31 > 0:44:34Some people will do anything for a bit of attention.
0:44:36 > 0:44:38Did he excise the tumour?
0:44:38 > 0:44:41Let's just focus on you, shall we?
0:44:58 > 0:45:00Perfect.
0:45:00 > 0:45:02We're looking at the future.
0:45:02 > 0:45:03Our future.
0:45:06 > 0:45:10I have to admit, the stem cell was a stroke of genius.
0:45:11 > 0:45:15- We should go for a drink tonight, talk through our plans.- Nope.
0:45:17 > 0:45:20Soon as I've got this, get the suction in. Clamp, please.

0:45:53 > 0:45:55THUD
0:45:56 > 0:45:57Sacha?
0:45:58 > 0:46:00- Hello.- What happened?
0:46:01 > 0:46:04- I don't know. - You're burning up.
0:46:09 > 0:46:13- I haven't felt right all day. - But why didn't you say something?
0:46:13 > 0:46:16I'm going to need to examine you.
0:46:16 > 0:46:18Can I just take a quick look at your...?
0:46:20 > 0:46:23- What's that? - It's nothing.
0:46:23 > 0:46:25Well, it doesn't look like nothing.
0:46:25 > 0:46:27That's post-surgical.
0:46:29 > 0:46:32- Yep.- What condition did you go into theatre with?
0:46:32 > 0:46:35I'd rather not say.
0:46:35 > 0:46:39I understand. But I'm treating you now and I need to know.
0:46:41 > 0:46:43Sacha?
0:46:46 > 0:46:48I had liposuction.
0:46:50 > 0:46:52Why?
0:46:52 > 0:46:54Why do you think?
0:46:57 > 0:46:59Well, I wish you'd talked to me about it.
0:46:59 > 0:47:01I can't any more, can I?
0:47:03 > 0:47:05What have you done to yourself...?
0:47:09 > 0:47:11- Can you... - HE SIGHS
0:47:11 > 0:47:14..just carry on with the examination, please?
0:47:14 > 0:47:16Of course.
0:47:24 > 0:47:25Nope! Nope...!
0:47:25 > 0:47:28Ah! See, I told you I knew where it was!
0:47:28 > 0:47:30HE CHUCKLES
0:47:38 > 0:47:41He's gone, hasn't he?
0:47:41 > 0:47:43We did everything we could.
0:47:43 > 0:47:47- Did he bleed out?- He arrested before we could get it under control.
0:47:50 > 0:47:51This is my fault.
0:47:51 > 0:47:53I shouldn't have talked you into doing the op.
0:47:53 > 0:47:55If I didn't think it was worth the risk,
0:47:55 > 0:47:58I would never have taken him into theatre.
0:47:59 > 0:48:01I feel like I pushed him into it.
0:48:01 > 0:48:03You were trying to save his life.
0:48:13 > 0:48:16- Have they taken him down to the mortuary yet?- No.
0:48:18 > 0:48:20I thought you'd want to see him first.
0:48:25 > 0:48:27Thanks.
0:48:58 > 0:49:01You complete and utter numpty.
0:49:01 > 0:49:02No grapes, then(?)
0:49:02 > 0:49:05Having pointless surgery is one thing...
0:49:05 > 0:49:08- Who said it was pointless? - You only had it last week!
0:49:08 > 0:49:10And then you jumped straight back into work like nothing's happened!
0:49:10 > 0:49:13- That's what you did. - I didn't have an abscess!
0:49:15 > 0:49:16Have you just come to cheer me up?
0:49:16 > 0:49:18You must've known you had an infection.
0:49:18 > 0:49:22Just thought I was coming down with something, that's all.
0:49:23 > 0:49:25Do you have a death wish?
0:49:33 > 0:49:36Do you know that my dad was in his forties when he died?
0:49:39 > 0:49:41So, that's what this is about?
0:49:42 > 0:49:44You should go into counselling.
0:49:46 > 0:49:47What's wrong with you?
0:49:47 > 0:49:49What's right with me, more like?
0:49:49 > 0:49:50You are...
0:49:50 > 0:49:53Sacha Levy for God's sake.
0:49:53 > 0:49:56You are everyone's favourite hug machine.
0:49:56 > 0:49:58I get to go back to a ward
0:49:58 > 0:50:01where everyone thinks I reside several Circles Of Hell
0:50:01 > 0:50:03beneath the Antichrist,
0:50:03 > 0:50:05- apart from one clueless loser. - What, the Italian?
0:50:07 > 0:50:09- Does he like you?- Apparently.
0:50:09 > 0:50:11He really likes you?
0:50:11 > 0:50:13So he keeps saying.
0:50:14 > 0:50:15Do you like him back?
0:50:17 > 0:50:19We're supposed to be talking about YOU.
0:50:19 > 0:50:21What is going on?
0:50:25 > 0:50:26I'm lonely.
0:50:30 > 0:50:31Nothing ever seems to last.
0:50:35 > 0:50:38I've been with women who thought they loved me
0:50:38 > 0:50:39but it never worked out.
0:50:43 > 0:50:44And then I found Essie.
0:50:48 > 0:50:50And she's the one.
0:50:52 > 0:50:54And even we couldn't make it work.
0:50:58 > 0:51:02And the thought of growing old alone...
0:51:03 > 0:51:05..just fills me with dread.
0:51:07 > 0:51:10You've got way too much to offer for that to happen.
0:51:10 > 0:51:12Yeah, I'm not so sure any more.
0:51:12 > 0:51:14HE STIFLES A SOB
0:51:17 > 0:51:21Promise me, you will never, ever do anything like this again.
0:51:25 > 0:51:27HE TAKES A DEEP BREATH
0:51:27 > 0:51:29OK.
0:51:30 > 0:51:35I think I might have something that could cheer you up.
0:51:38 > 0:51:41It would have been white roses, but I destroyed them.
0:51:46 > 0:51:47I love you.
0:52:02 > 0:52:03Goodnight, mate.
0:52:18 > 0:52:20- He made a will, you know?- Did he?
0:52:20 > 0:52:24- Just before he went into theatre. - On the back of a betting slip?
0:52:24 > 0:52:27- No, he made me call his solicitor. I was a witness.- Really?
0:52:29 > 0:52:31He left you his winnings, Fletch.
0:52:31 > 0:52:33No.
0:52:34 > 0:52:35It's a lot of money.
0:52:38 > 0:52:41He had to count it for him.
0:52:47 > 0:52:49That can't be legit.
0:52:49 > 0:52:51Well, Legal will have to check it over
0:52:51 > 0:52:54and it's worth keeping in touch with the NMC, but I...
0:52:55 > 0:52:57..think it's fine.
0:53:03 > 0:53:05He said to spend it on the kids.
0:53:19 > 0:53:20Hey, how're you doing?
0:53:20 > 0:53:22Can't believe how good I feel.
0:53:23 > 0:53:26- How's the breathing? - Best it's been in ages.
0:53:27 > 0:53:30Well, with any luck you should be out of here in a day or two.
0:53:32 > 0:53:35It's a bit embarrassing seeing you in this state.
0:53:35 > 0:53:38- Well, you're not in a state any more.- Thanks to you.
0:53:38 > 0:53:40You're too kind.
0:53:41 > 0:53:43- Jac...- Yeah.
0:53:43 > 0:53:46- When I get back on my feet again, do you think...?- Don't.
0:53:46 > 0:53:48No?
0:53:49 > 0:53:52Let's just leave the past where it belongs.
0:54:00 > 0:54:02Hey.
0:54:02 > 0:54:03Hey.
0:54:07 > 0:54:09Am I nearly done on these antibiotics?
0:54:10 > 0:54:13- I'm not sure. - Cos I really want to go home.
0:54:13 > 0:54:15I can check with Dom.
0:54:17 > 0:54:18How's Gayle Travis?
0:54:18 > 0:54:22Fine. It was a total success.
0:54:22 > 0:54:24See, I knew Raf could do it.
0:54:33 > 0:54:35Are you going to be all right?
0:54:38 > 0:54:40Depends what you mean by "all right".
0:54:48 > 0:54:50I still love you, you know?
0:54:53 > 0:54:54I know.
0:55:11 > 0:55:13- No. I'll get these. - No, it's my shout.
0:55:13 > 0:55:16I'm sure Arty would've wanted me to buy you a drink.
0:55:16 > 0:55:18Well, I won't argue with that.
0:55:24 > 0:55:28- I didn't go the cashpoint this morning.- Typical!
0:55:28 > 0:55:31- Sorry.- No, don't be silly. Keep it.
0:55:34 > 0:55:36He kept saying today was his lucky day.
0:55:38 > 0:55:40I think he wanted to give you the last of his luck
0:55:40 > 0:55:43before his time ran out.
0:55:43 > 0:55:45I feel like I barely knew him.
0:55:45 > 0:55:48It's not how long you know a person,
0:55:48 > 0:55:51- it's the difference you make to their lives.- Do you reckon?
0:55:51 > 0:55:53Yeah.
0:55:53 > 0:55:57- And you were there for him at the end.- I know, but...
0:55:57 > 0:55:59That obviously meant a lot.
0:56:03 > 0:56:05To Arty.
0:56:11 > 0:56:13Arty.
0:56:30 > 0:56:32HE KNOCKS
0:56:34 > 0:56:36For our next encounter with the Board.
0:56:37 > 0:56:39You did this?
0:56:39 > 0:56:42Obviously, I wouldn't submit it until I had your permission.
0:56:43 > 0:56:47"The Digby-Naylor Stent". I don't see the name Rossini anywhere.
0:56:47 > 0:56:52- I'm just happy to be part of the bigger picture.- Really?
0:56:52 > 0:56:54This is about medicine, not glory.
0:56:55 > 0:56:57What about Berlin?
0:56:57 > 0:56:59That was a mistake.
0:56:59 > 0:57:03- You deserve the recognition for something you started.- True.
0:57:04 > 0:57:05So, you approve?
0:57:07 > 0:57:09It's better than a Ronan Keating CD.
0:57:09 > 0:57:11I know. I am an idiot.
0:57:11 > 0:57:15- A persistent one.- I am not embarrassed to show you how I feel.
0:57:15 > 0:57:16No, I see that.
0:57:16 > 0:57:18What you do about it is out of my...
