0:00:02 > 0:00:04- So, what do I say? - Tell the truth, as you see it.

0:00:04 > 0:00:08Should we just reset a little bit?

0:00:09 > 0:00:12Nurse Jackson, it's a simple enough question.

0:00:12 > 0:00:18I have no recollection of Mr Griffin prescribing anticoagulants.

0:00:18 > 0:00:21- Zosia was mad to trade Darwin in for the States...- Zosia, Zosia, Zosia!

0:00:21 > 0:00:23Is there any chance I can get through the day

0:00:23 > 0:00:25without anyone mentioning her name?!

0:00:25 > 0:00:27I'm sorry.

0:00:27 > 0:00:31The law states that unnatural deaths must be investigated.

0:00:31 > 0:00:33You didn't kill her.

0:00:33 > 0:00:35I didn't save her either.

0:00:35 > 0:00:38Was I right to stay?

0:00:38 > 0:00:41Yes. Your career matters as much as Zosia's.

0:01:24 > 0:01:26MUSIC: Upside by Kano

0:01:26 > 0:01:29# Missionary with no phone to run to

0:01:29 > 0:01:31# Yeah, Impossible I'll be Tom Cruising it

0:01:31 > 0:01:33# The inner circle who's in it Would you give in?

0:01:33 > 0:01:36# That's where the lines stay blurred

0:01:36 > 0:01:38# Between what's real and what's fake concern

0:01:38 > 0:01:40# My frame of mind it ain't right I've learned

0:01:40 > 0:01:41# Staying sane that's my main concern

0:01:41 > 0:01:44# So I look at the world through my fish-eyed lens

0:01:44 > 0:01:47# And everything seems much closer than it is upfront

0:01:47 > 0:01:48# So put your brave face on... #

0:01:48 > 0:01:50SIRENS WAIL

0:01:59 > 0:02:01Sorry I'm late.

0:02:01 > 0:02:03Don't worry about it. You're not the only one.

0:02:04 > 0:02:05This is Bay One.

0:02:05 > 0:02:06She keeps trying to eat something.

0:02:06 > 0:02:08Can you make sure she stays nil by mouth? Thank you.

0:02:08 > 0:02:10This is Bay Three. Bit of a difficult one. I'm sorry.

0:02:10 > 0:02:13Don't go anywhere. There's another one coming in a second.

0:02:13 > 0:02:15- Are you kidding me? Are these all from ED?- Afraid so.

0:02:15 > 0:02:18Are they keeping any of their patients? What's going on?

0:02:18 > 0:02:20- Fire...- Fireworks.- ..works. - Right. Great(!)

0:02:20 > 0:02:22Fredrik, can you give me a hand, please?

0:02:22 > 0:02:24- Sorry, a little busy right now. - With your Junior Doctor Prize?

0:02:24 > 0:02:27Great! I'll just deal with all of this, then, shall I?

0:02:29 > 0:02:32Ted Percival. They told me to be here at 9:30.

0:02:32 > 0:02:34O-K. Right. Um...

0:02:34 > 0:02:35I have two more patients

0:02:35 > 0:02:37I need to deal with at the moment, Mr Percival,

0:02:37 > 0:02:39and then I can be right with you, OK?

0:02:39 > 0:02:41- I'm very good at leaning. - Thank you very much.

0:02:41 > 0:02:43I'll be right back with you. Thank you!

0:02:43 > 0:02:45Has anyone heard from Ric at all?

0:02:45 > 0:02:47Maybe he's trying to do us a favour.

0:02:47 > 0:02:49Trying to keep the fallout away from the rest of us.

0:02:49 > 0:02:51Or he's embarrassed.

0:02:51 > 0:02:53Suspension must hurt his pride.

0:02:53 > 0:02:54Don't think it's the suspension, mate.

0:02:54 > 0:02:56I think it's more the coroner

0:02:56 > 0:02:58making Ric feel like he's done something wrong.

0:02:58 > 0:03:01It's Donna's first day back today. First day back since the hearing.

0:03:01 > 0:03:03I should go see how she is, see if there's any news.

0:03:03 > 0:03:05She's going to need our support.

0:03:05 > 0:03:06It could happen to any of us.

0:03:06 > 0:03:09On that bombshell, I think I need to go back to work.

0:03:11 > 0:03:14Oh, please don't stand on my account. Take a seat.

0:03:14 > 0:03:16I'm very sorry for the delay.

0:03:16 > 0:03:19I also wish I could say I wasn't going to keep you here very long,

0:03:19 > 0:03:24but this is a crisis talk, I'm afraid, and I need you all here.

0:03:25 > 0:03:27So as you know, for some time now,

0:03:27 > 0:03:29I have been saying there's a storm coming.

0:03:29 > 0:03:31Today, the storm is finally upon us.

0:03:31 > 0:03:36The merger process with St Francis is underway.

0:03:36 > 0:03:40Holby IS in danger of being closed down.

0:03:40 > 0:03:42Some might say this is a sign of the times.

0:03:42 > 0:03:46The trust's development agency are sending their representatives along

0:03:46 > 0:03:50to assess our efficiency, and they are doing it today.

0:03:50 > 0:03:51Today?

0:03:51 > 0:03:53What, with no notice?

0:03:53 > 0:03:55I don't mean to be pessimistic,

0:03:55 > 0:03:58but what is the likelihood of us closing?

0:03:58 > 0:03:59Highly likely.

0:03:59 > 0:04:01Which is why we must show that we are at the top of our game

0:04:01 > 0:04:04by being consistently innovative, pushing boundaries

0:04:04 > 0:04:06and taking calculated risks.

0:04:06 > 0:04:09We do this anyway. Daily.

0:04:09 > 0:04:11It's never about what we achieve,

0:04:11 > 0:04:13it's about what the bureaucrats think.

0:04:13 > 0:04:14That may well be so,

0:04:14 > 0:04:19but today we're going to have to justify our very existence.

0:04:20 > 0:04:23So, be bold, be creative, seek inspiration anew

0:04:23 > 0:04:26and let me have your ideas, please.

0:04:28 > 0:04:30Do you know what? That Scary Sue on ITU,

0:04:30 > 0:04:32sometimes I want to kick her right...

0:04:32 > 0:04:35I'm not really an advocate for any sort of kicking, but...

0:04:35 > 0:04:38She won't shut up about all this Ric stuff.

0:04:38 > 0:04:42"Is Ric a murderer? Is Donna in on it? Will he go to prison?"

0:04:42 > 0:04:43Mm-hm.

0:04:43 > 0:04:46Oh, mate, I am so sorry.

0:04:46 > 0:04:48You probably didn't want to hear that, did you?

0:04:48 > 0:04:51Look, if it's any consolation, I told her exactly where to go.

0:04:51 > 0:04:53A bit.

0:04:53 > 0:04:55Enjoy your week off?

0:04:55 > 0:04:58It wasn't a holiday, Lofty.

0:04:58 > 0:05:00Um...have you heard from Ric?

0:05:00 > 0:05:02No. And he's staying with his son, so...

0:05:05 > 0:05:08I take it you all heard that the case has been referred?

0:05:08 > 0:05:10Yeah, I thought so.

0:05:10 > 0:05:13I had a bunch of funny looks with my morning espresso.

0:05:13 > 0:05:16Look, don't beat yourself up over it, all right?

0:05:16 > 0:05:18Maybe I should just beat up Scary Sue.

0:05:19 > 0:05:20I'm kidding! Look, come on,

0:05:20 > 0:05:22I didn't come back for you to walk on eggshells.

0:05:22 > 0:05:23What needs doing?

0:05:23 > 0:05:25We could rearrange theatre sessions.

0:05:25 > 0:05:27Get all the lengthy ones out the way,

0:05:27 > 0:05:29make the afternoon seem like we're all speed and precision.

0:05:29 > 0:05:31We don't have the time to move it all around.

0:05:31 > 0:05:34We needed a head-start yesterday.

0:05:34 > 0:05:39Beds. We get strict about ring-fencing beds for electives.

0:05:39 > 0:05:43OK, hear me out. It's always a headline

0:05:43 > 0:05:46and it's where St Francis always consistently score better than us.

0:05:46 > 0:05:48Because they haven't got an ED

0:05:48 > 0:05:50that sends overflow patients up onto the wards.

0:05:50 > 0:05:54OK. What about instead of the consultant and anaesthetist

0:05:54 > 0:05:56consulting each patient separately pre-surgery,

0:05:56 > 0:05:58they save time by doing it together?

0:05:58 > 0:06:01I think Mr Levy is right about ring-fencing beds,

0:06:01 > 0:06:05- and I think Keller should be our battlefield.- Yes, but...

0:06:05 > 0:06:08Are you sure we don't want to show off Darwin, like we normally do?

0:06:08 > 0:06:11Fletch is right. If you want to put on a show, you hire a rock band.

0:06:11 > 0:06:14Darwin are Led Zeppelin, I'm just a pub band.

0:06:14 > 0:06:16Keller is the ward where you see the most improvement.

0:06:16 > 0:06:18They have more patients, it's more achievable

0:06:18 > 0:06:20and it's faster than Darwin.

0:06:20 > 0:06:21Faster is not better.

0:06:21 > 0:06:23My decision is Keller.

0:06:23 > 0:06:27Today, I expect the best and brightest of all of you -

0:06:27 > 0:06:30and for you to keep this meeting entirely confidential.

0:06:30 > 0:06:33- You sure you don't want to tell the others?- Certain.

0:06:33 > 0:06:37I want everyone to be focused, not distracted by all of this.

0:06:37 > 0:06:38Thank you.

0:06:44 > 0:06:47Right, Mr Levy, let's see what we're dealing with, shall we?

0:06:50 > 0:06:53- You sure about this?- How long have we got to turn this around?

0:06:53 > 0:06:54Your guess is as good as mine.

0:06:54 > 0:06:57- In which case, I should probably get stuck in.- Cheers.

0:06:57 > 0:06:59I took your advice.

0:06:59 > 0:07:01I've found a suitable candidate for the Junior Doctor Prize.

0:07:01 > 0:07:04A neuroendocrine tumour.

0:07:04 > 0:07:06I didn't mean for you to change the entire project.

0:07:06 > 0:07:07It was good advice.

0:07:07 > 0:07:10I have an HPB case scheduled for this afternoon.

0:07:10 > 0:07:13Well, then, you'll have two opportunities to shine.

0:07:13 > 0:07:14We've got a team of VIPs coming to Keller

0:07:14 > 0:07:16who are going to see how we run things here.

0:07:16 > 0:07:18- Fantastic.- Excuse me, please.

0:07:18 > 0:07:20Mr Copeland, your assistance here.

0:07:20 > 0:07:23- OK, OK.- Good catch.

0:07:23 > 0:07:26I'm going to get someone to come and see you straightaway.

0:07:26 > 0:07:28Right, Mr Levy, your work now begins in earnest.

0:07:32 > 0:07:36- Hey! Welcome back. How you feeling? - Notorious.

0:07:36 > 0:07:38- Well, if you need a distraction... - What do you mean?

0:07:38 > 0:07:40I'm going to have plenty for you to do today.

0:07:40 > 0:07:42We need even more miracles than usual.

0:07:42 > 0:07:44Great. The healing kind, or the bread and wine kind?

0:07:44 > 0:07:46I'm good at both.

0:07:46 > 0:07:49Can someone lend a hand? Mine's not working.

0:07:49 > 0:07:51There you go. Someone needs a capable hand.

0:07:51 > 0:07:52It's good to have you back!

0:07:52 > 0:07:55That looks painful. Can I see your notes?

0:08:01 > 0:08:03Well done.

0:08:05 > 0:08:08Sorry, that dude in Bay Two is after you again.

0:08:08 > 0:08:10- Oh!- He's not that bad, is he?

0:08:10 > 0:08:12Hm!

0:08:12 > 0:08:14So give them a run for their money, anyway.

0:08:14 > 0:08:15Don't let Keller get all the glory.

0:08:15 > 0:08:17No harm in looking good.

0:08:17 > 0:08:19The very words I live my life by.

0:08:19 > 0:08:21A bit of spit and polish and you'll be able to see your reflection

0:08:21 > 0:08:23in every work surface from here to the gents.

0:08:23 > 0:08:28Me? No! I did not train as a doctor so I could clean windows.

0:08:30 > 0:08:31Now this is ridiculous!

0:08:31 > 0:08:33First of all, you with your stubble

0:08:33 > 0:08:36and now this one with his flowing locks bouncing everywhere.

0:08:36 > 0:08:37Can't be sanitary.

0:08:37 > 0:08:39You must have patients coughing it up like cats.

0:08:39 > 0:08:41This is Mr James, your mitral valve prolapse.

0:08:41 > 0:08:43Doctor Wash-and-Go, is it?

0:08:43 > 0:08:46- Correction, he is YOUR mitral valve prolapse.- What?

0:08:46 > 0:08:49Why anyone needs that amount of hair is beyond me.

0:08:49 > 0:08:52We have health authority assessors in today

0:08:52 > 0:08:55and I have offered to help Fletch prepare the ward.

0:08:56 > 0:08:58Much appreciated, Mr Valentine!

0:09:01 > 0:09:03It was bad enough when you had all the women in here,

0:09:03 > 0:09:06parading up and down like it was Miss World.

0:09:06 > 0:09:08Glad to see a lot less of them here today.

0:09:10 > 0:09:11What's wrong with you?

0:09:13 > 0:09:14My ring!

0:09:16 > 0:09:18Typical NHS!

0:09:18 > 0:09:20Meant to be a short cut through the park.

0:09:20 > 0:09:22Ended up tripping over a flipping shih-tzu, didn't I?

0:09:22 > 0:09:25- What was the rush? - Spent too long trying on bikinis

0:09:25 > 0:09:27and nearly missed an appointment.

0:09:27 > 0:09:28You going anywhere nice?

0:09:28 > 0:09:31- Cayman Islands.- Ooh, lovely!

0:09:31 > 0:09:33I've never been, but my friend's got me a job in a bar

0:09:33 > 0:09:36just as soon as I get out there. Living the dream!

0:09:36 > 0:09:39- Jealous.- You should get on it, then.

0:09:39 > 0:09:41Plenty of experience measuring things out

0:09:41 > 0:09:43and cleaning up sick, right?

0:09:43 > 0:09:44I'm an expert.

0:09:44 > 0:09:46How's does this feel?

0:09:46 > 0:09:48Weird. Bit tingly.

0:09:48 > 0:09:50Pins and needles?

0:09:50 > 0:09:52Sort of. It's a bit numb, too.

0:09:52 > 0:09:55Hm. OK. I think I might get a doctor to have a look at it.

0:09:55 > 0:09:58Speaking of taking a look... Friend of yours?

0:10:00 > 0:10:02No, not really.

0:10:06 > 0:10:09That bloke who caught me, is he your boss?

0:10:09 > 0:10:12Mr Hanssen? He's everyone's boss. He's the CEO.

0:10:12 > 0:10:15Oh, that's me done for, then.

0:10:15 > 0:10:18- So, the fainting, has this happened before?- First time.

0:10:20 > 0:10:23I haven't eaten for a while, though. Nil by mouth.

0:10:23 > 0:10:25OK. We're going to run a few tests just to make sure.

0:10:25 > 0:10:27I thought I'd be straight into surgery.

0:10:27 > 0:10:30There's nothing wrong, is there?

0:10:30 > 0:10:32It's not the good news/bad news joke?

0:10:32 > 0:10:33I'm not sure I know it.

0:10:33 > 0:10:36Doctor says, "There's some good news and some bad news.

0:10:36 > 0:10:39"The good news is, we're going to name a disease after you."

0:10:39 > 0:10:41Well, if it's a particularly juicy one,

0:10:41 > 0:10:43I'll get them to name it after me.

0:10:43 > 0:10:44- Huh! Nice one!- I'll be right back.

0:10:48 > 0:10:51I really shouldn't be talking to you. You shouldn't be here.

0:10:51 > 0:10:53I tried a few days ago, but you weren't here.

0:10:53 > 0:10:55What, so, you're stalking me now?

0:10:55 > 0:10:56Guess so.

0:10:56 > 0:10:58Shouldn't you be at work or something?

0:10:58 > 0:11:00Compassionate leave.

0:11:00 > 0:11:02Yeah. I'm sorry.

0:11:02 > 0:11:04Look, I'm not here to cause trouble.

0:11:04 > 0:11:06But you are here, and that means trouble. Probably for both of us.

0:11:06 > 0:11:10I'm just after her notes. My mum's.

0:11:10 > 0:11:13The CPS have already got them. I thought you might be able to help.

0:11:13 > 0:11:15Are you sure you want to look at all that stuff?

0:11:15 > 0:11:17HE SIGHS

0:11:17 > 0:11:19I'm not picking a fight...

0:11:19 > 0:11:22..but I deserve some answers, don't I?

0:11:22 > 0:11:24It's not like I can ask her about it.

0:11:26 > 0:11:28Look, I can't help you directly, I can't,

0:11:28 > 0:11:30but if you go along to the records office,

0:11:30 > 0:11:31Maz is usually really helpful.

0:11:31 > 0:11:33Thanks.

0:11:33 > 0:11:35It's nice to see you again.

0:11:37 > 0:11:38I should get back to work.

0:11:40 > 0:11:42Good luck.

0:11:47 > 0:11:50So, Mr Lazar, your case study, you're confident, are you?

0:11:50 > 0:11:51Yes. Aside from the lymph nodes,

0:11:51 > 0:11:54my main concern is this new pain he's been describing.

0:11:54 > 0:11:55It could be a perforated bowel.

0:11:55 > 0:11:58Sounds like you're on top of it. Keep me informed, please.

0:11:58 > 0:12:02Mr Levy, there are two more coming up from the ED.

0:12:02 > 0:12:03So, another two beds lost.

0:12:03 > 0:12:05Just have to find two more, won't we?

0:12:09 > 0:12:11Lad says you're the boss.

0:12:11 > 0:12:13Hanssen, he called you. Dane?

0:12:13 > 0:12:15No, no, no. Swede.

0:12:15 > 0:12:16Very astute of you.

0:12:16 > 0:12:18It's my trade. Beer!

0:12:18 > 0:12:21You Svenskas might like jam on your potatoes,

0:12:21 > 0:12:23but beer's in your religion. I can get behind that.

0:12:23 > 0:12:26- You are a brewer, are you?- Craft.

0:12:26 > 0:12:27What'll you have?

0:12:27 > 0:12:30I can tell by looking at you it's not stout.

0:12:30 > 0:12:32I'm partial to Lambic, as it happens.

0:12:32 > 0:12:36Ah. Dry. Sour. Bit fruity.

0:12:36 > 0:12:39Need to get something stronger inside you, I reckon.

0:12:39 > 0:12:43Look, er...I don't suppose you know what's going on?

0:12:43 > 0:12:45I thought I'd be in surgery by now.

0:12:45 > 0:12:48Right, well, I'll find out.

0:12:48 > 0:12:50Where are we with Mr Percival?

0:12:50 > 0:12:52Oh, the Crohn's?

0:12:52 > 0:12:54Well, he's in for a hemicolectomy,

0:12:54 > 0:12:57but there's a queue and he's not urgent.

0:12:59 > 0:13:01Any more like this and we'll have lost all the beds.

0:13:01 > 0:13:03Yes, I'm aware, Nurse Harrison, thank you.

0:13:03 > 0:13:05It's not the end of the world, right?

0:13:08 > 0:13:11ANSWERPHONE: Hi. You've reached Ric Griffin. Sorry, I'm unable to...

0:13:11 > 0:13:14- Can you feel that?- Feel what?

0:13:16 > 0:13:18- What about that?- It just feels cold.

0:13:19 > 0:13:21Sorry. Is it bad?

0:13:21 > 0:13:24Well, at the moment, we don't really know what it is,

0:13:24 > 0:13:27but we'll run a few more tests to get a better idea.

0:13:27 > 0:13:30Sorry, I have to ask, is this your real name?

0:13:30 > 0:13:34Primrose Budd? Oh, it's mine.

0:13:34 > 0:13:37- Sounds like a drag act, doesn't it? - I like it.

0:13:38 > 0:13:42It was the only thing my mum gave me before she died.

0:13:43 > 0:13:45So...I'll keep it.

0:13:45 > 0:13:47I'm sorry to hear that.

0:13:47 > 0:13:52Um...in view of your symptoms, we'll run a CT angiogram.

0:13:52 > 0:13:54- A scan?- It's just a simple one.

0:13:55 > 0:13:57This isn't going to be an issue, is it?

0:13:57 > 0:14:01Er...no, I don't think so, but thanks for the heads-up.

0:14:02 > 0:14:05I hear people are dying. I'm going!

0:14:05 > 0:14:09Um...why is Mr Risso leaving? I haven't even seen him yet!

0:14:09 > 0:14:12He says he overheard someone talking about a suspicious death.

0:14:12 > 0:14:14Scary Sue?

0:14:14 > 0:14:16Says it was a man.

0:14:16 > 0:14:18It doesn't matter, he's taken his fractured wrist to St Francis.

0:14:18 > 0:14:20I'm sure he'll live.

0:14:20 > 0:14:24Yeah, and what happens when someone who's really ill wants to leave?

0:14:25 > 0:14:28We're a porter down. I'm going to need your help moving beds.

0:14:28 > 0:14:31Great(!) Is anything working properly here today?

0:14:31 > 0:14:33- Think of the workout you'll get. - Oh, please!

0:14:33 > 0:14:35There's a big difference between Mr Gilly and a kettlebell.

0:14:35 > 0:14:37So, come on, what is it?

0:14:38 > 0:14:41- What's what? - Hands-On Hanssen all over the ward,

0:14:41 > 0:14:44- you and Nina scurrying about. - There's nothing, honestly.

0:14:47 > 0:14:48You're sweating.

0:14:48 > 0:14:51Ah! Saved by the bell.

0:14:51 > 0:14:54So Mr Hamilton is ready for discharge.

0:14:54 > 0:14:56I'd like that bed empty and prepped within the next half-hour -

0:14:56 > 0:14:58and I would like a little stronger resolve

0:14:58 > 0:14:59from you today, please, Mr Levy.

0:14:59 > 0:15:02I have enough on my plate without rescuing you, as well.

0:15:02 > 0:15:05I just... I don't like lying to them.

0:15:05 > 0:15:08- It's an act of omission, not a lie. - Yeah. Sorry.

0:15:08 > 0:15:10If you can't get tough, would you like me to take over?!

0:15:10 > 0:15:13- No, no, no. No, I'm fine.- Right!

0:15:15 > 0:15:18What's the story, then, with the tag?

0:15:18 > 0:15:21- Oh, I didn't ask.- She doesn't look much of a crook. Cat burglar?

0:15:21 > 0:15:23She's a bit boho.

0:15:23 > 0:15:26Smuggler caught sneaking snakes out of Morocco?

0:15:26 > 0:15:29She looks kind of arty. Forged paintings?

0:15:29 > 0:15:30Blackmailer?

0:15:30 > 0:15:32Insurance scams. Accidental deaths.

0:15:34 > 0:15:36Mm-hm.

0:15:38 > 0:15:42Right. You have a subclavian pseudoaneurysm,

0:15:42 > 0:15:43by the looks of things.

0:15:43 > 0:15:45It's a kind of blood clot.

0:15:49 > 0:15:52And you've got a puncture wound there. What happened?

0:15:52 > 0:15:54Nothing. Stupid accident.

0:15:54 > 0:15:57- Have you had it treated? - Look, it's old news.

0:15:57 > 0:16:02This aneurysm thingy, it's not going to stop me travelling, is it?

0:16:05 > 0:16:07- Well...- I know this tag's got you all thinking I'm a crook,

0:16:07 > 0:16:09but I still deserve proper treatment, you know!

0:16:09 > 0:16:12- Same as everyone else! - Of course you do.

0:16:13 > 0:16:14Look...

0:16:16 > 0:16:19..it's going to come off in a week, and when it does, I'm out of here.

0:16:19 > 0:16:21I just need to be there,

0:16:21 > 0:16:23otherwise he'll open the bar with someone else.

0:16:23 > 0:16:25This is my fresh start.

0:16:25 > 0:16:29OK, I understand. We will do everything we can, OK?

0:16:29 > 0:16:31Nurse Jackson?

0:16:35 > 0:16:36She shouldn't get her hopes up.

0:16:36 > 0:16:38- I'll speak to Raf. - Neither should you.

0:16:43 > 0:16:44SHE SIGHS

0:16:53 > 0:16:54What the hell are you doing?

0:16:54 > 0:16:57I wanted your advice on Mr Lazar's surgery.

0:16:57 > 0:17:01But it's customary to wait outside an office until you are invited in!

0:17:01 > 0:17:04You didn't think to let me know what was at stake?

0:17:04 > 0:17:07Of course I thought about it, but I decided against it!

0:17:07 > 0:17:09I will not make exceptions, all right?!

0:17:09 > 0:17:10Well, I'm glad I found out.

0:17:10 > 0:17:13You shouldn't be doing all this on your own.

0:17:13 > 0:17:15The entire hospital on your shoulders?

0:17:15 > 0:17:17I assure you, all is well and I have every faith in my staff.

0:17:19 > 0:17:20Father?

0:17:22 > 0:17:23You can be honest with me.

0:17:23 > 0:17:26I appreciate your concern, but not your lack of confidence.

0:17:26 > 0:17:29I can and will handle today in my own way!

0:17:29 > 0:17:31All right?!

0:17:37 > 0:17:40- I won't mention anything to the others.- Thank you!

0:17:49 > 0:17:53See if you can just roll over for me a bit. That's it. Big, deep breath.

0:17:53 > 0:17:55- What are you doing back there? - Nothing.

0:17:55 > 0:17:56It doesn't feel like nothing.

0:17:56 > 0:17:59It feels like a very inappropriate something!

0:17:59 > 0:18:01I'm sorry. I was looking for my ring.

0:18:01 > 0:18:04Yes, well, you're not going to find it back there, are you?

0:18:04 > 0:18:06- Mr Valentine? - I am a thief now, am I?

0:18:06 > 0:18:09- No!- Yes, well, I am being robbed - of my time and my dignity!

0:18:09 > 0:18:12- Oliver!- Just excuse me one moment.

0:18:12 > 0:18:15No! No, I won't excuse you for that kind of inappropriate behaviour!

0:18:15 > 0:18:17Today's not the day for it.

0:18:17 > 0:18:20I know that, but it's not like I'd lost my phone charger or a book.

0:18:20 > 0:18:23It might still be at home, waiting for you on a bathroom shelf.

0:18:23 > 0:18:25- It's definitely...- Not another word!

0:18:25 > 0:18:27- You will get on with your work as a doctor. Understood?- Understood.

0:18:30 > 0:18:32The ED are starting to complain about the backlog.

0:18:32 > 0:18:36Well, ED cases will always take priority, whether we like it or not.

0:18:36 > 0:18:37If we want those beds,

0:18:37 > 0:18:40we're going to have to be stricter with our elective patients.

0:18:40 > 0:18:42I might just pop down and have a word with them,

0:18:42 > 0:18:44see if I can't charm them into doing us a favour.

0:18:46 > 0:18:50I had a word with a guy called Vic Crowther from St Francis.

0:18:50 > 0:18:52He's a sort of frenemy of mine.

0:18:53 > 0:18:55A friend who's an enemy.

0:18:55 > 0:18:57Oh, yes, I do know what a portmanteau is.

0:18:57 > 0:18:59Well, they've heard about the merger

0:18:59 > 0:19:01and they seem to think they've got the upper hand.

0:19:01 > 0:19:04I'm amazed you've got time for such gossip.

0:19:04 > 0:19:07Give me an hour, I shall find you three extra beds.

0:19:10 > 0:19:14You know, it could be a good thing.

0:19:14 > 0:19:16Think what the merger could change.

0:19:16 > 0:19:18Health care has to evolve.

0:19:18 > 0:19:20This might be an opportunity for you.

0:19:20 > 0:19:23The only opportunity I have is to stay here

0:19:23 > 0:19:25and do whatever I can to preserve this hospital.

0:19:25 > 0:19:27And go down with a sinking ship?

0:19:29 > 0:19:32If it happens, it's for a reason.

0:19:32 > 0:19:34You will stagnate if you stay in this place too long.

0:19:36 > 0:19:39- I disagree. - Why not go for something bigger?

0:19:39 > 0:19:41You should put your mark on the world while you have the chance.

0:19:41 > 0:19:43We both should.

0:19:44 > 0:19:46Get out before this place drags you down with it.

0:19:50 > 0:19:52No. Sorry, I have no time for it.

0:19:52 > 0:19:55If she has to wait for a referral, we could mess things up for her.

0:19:55 > 0:19:56She's starting a new job.

0:19:56 > 0:19:58I hate to whizz on your chips, but today's just not the day.

0:19:58 > 0:20:00Mr Hanssen wants the ward running like clockwork

0:20:00 > 0:20:03and I am not slowing things down with more surgery.

0:20:03 > 0:20:04- She'll need a referral. - But she's here now.

0:20:04 > 0:20:06Well, the immediate concern is her arm.

0:20:06 > 0:20:09Once we've given her a tetanus jab, free up a bed for the next patient.

0:20:09 > 0:20:11You know what they want from us.

0:20:11 > 0:20:13It's strictest treat-then-street today. Sorry.

0:20:19 > 0:20:23Unfortunately, he fits the bill. He's an elective, he's not urgent.

0:20:23 > 0:20:25All right, well, I'll speak to him.

0:20:25 > 0:20:26- You sure?- Oh, yes.

0:20:28 > 0:20:32Mr Percival, I am so sorry for the wait.

0:20:32 > 0:20:33Bad news, isn't it?

0:20:33 > 0:20:35Well, of a sort.

0:20:35 > 0:20:37We're going to have to reschedule your surgery, I'm afraid.

0:20:37 > 0:20:41The demands on the ward today have exceeded our expectations,

0:20:41 > 0:20:44and more urgent cases have taken priority.

0:20:44 > 0:20:47Well, I suppose you wouldn't do it unless you had to.

0:20:47 > 0:20:49You've always done great by me in the past.

0:20:49 > 0:20:51I'm very glad to hear it.

0:20:51 > 0:20:52Normally you do a bang-up job.

0:20:52 > 0:20:57My tonsils, big hernia that I had, when I dropped a barrel on my hoof.

0:20:58 > 0:21:03And even when I was here with my dad, at the end...

0:21:04 > 0:21:06..you made time then.

0:21:06 > 0:21:10Yeah. You let him... You let him go with dignity.

0:21:10 > 0:21:12Well, my condolences.

0:21:12 > 0:21:14And my daughter was born here.

0:21:14 > 0:21:16Ah, I still owe you for that one.

0:21:16 > 0:21:19Nine out of ten is still good in my book.

0:21:20 > 0:21:23You've made quite good use of this place, haven't you?

0:21:23 > 0:21:25It's my local.

0:21:25 > 0:21:27We both run locals.

0:21:27 > 0:21:30Bit of a struggle, though, keeping a pub going these days.

0:21:30 > 0:21:32Close more of mine than yours.

0:21:33 > 0:21:35Ah, things come up.

0:21:35 > 0:21:36Can't be helped.

0:21:36 > 0:21:37No.

0:21:38 > 0:21:41Well, I promise, we will reschedule as soon as we can.

0:21:41 > 0:21:44I know. And thanks for trying.

0:21:44 > 0:21:45You're welcome.

0:21:46 > 0:21:48Do you remember much of her?

0:21:48 > 0:21:49Bits.

0:21:49 > 0:21:51She was nice.

0:21:51 > 0:21:53Big smile.

0:21:54 > 0:21:57Would have been nice to know her.

0:21:57 > 0:21:59Might not have ended up with this.

0:21:59 > 0:22:00I barely remember my mum.

0:22:00 > 0:22:02You don't know your mum? I didn't know that.

0:22:02 > 0:22:03Well, why would you?

0:22:03 > 0:22:07OK, so, I've spoken to the consultant

0:22:07 > 0:22:10and I'm afraid we're gonna have to refer you for the pseudoaneurysm.

0:22:12 > 0:22:15I need this done now, so I can recover and get match fit,

0:22:15 > 0:22:17- you understand?- I understand that,

0:22:17 > 0:22:19but, unfortunately, that's not the way this ward works.

0:22:19 > 0:22:22So what if I don't get it fixed, and I catch my plane instead?

0:22:22 > 0:22:25Well, without repair it could rupture.

0:22:25 > 0:22:26Meaning?

0:22:26 > 0:22:30Well, the worst case is the worst case.

0:22:30 > 0:22:33You're going to have to get it treated. I'm sorry.

0:22:33 > 0:22:35So that's it, then?

0:22:35 > 0:22:37I'm swapping pina coladas and sandy beaches

0:22:37 > 0:22:40for roast chicken crisps in my stinky bedsit?

0:22:40 > 0:22:41Look, I thi...

0:22:41 > 0:22:44You know I don't have a job for Christmas, now. I'm broke.

0:22:46 > 0:22:48A one-armed ex-con.

0:22:48 > 0:22:49I'm so sorry.

0:22:49 > 0:22:50Sure.

0:22:52 > 0:22:53Is this because of the tag?

0:22:53 > 0:22:54No, of course not.

0:22:54 > 0:22:57It's just the way this department works, I'm afraid.

0:23:20 > 0:23:23Right. We're back on track with the beds.

0:23:24 > 0:23:26What next?

0:23:27 > 0:23:29I don't know.

0:23:33 > 0:23:35Again, I can't say how sorry I am.

0:23:35 > 0:23:38Yes, well, I've already tweeted my local MP.

0:23:38 > 0:23:42I'm not sure 140 characters does you justice.

0:23:43 > 0:23:45You're worried what Mrs Valentine might do?

0:23:45 > 0:23:47- I'm sorry?- About the ring?

0:23:47 > 0:23:50Oh, she's not around.

0:23:50 > 0:23:51Hm. Dead?

0:23:51 > 0:23:54No. She moved away.

0:23:54 > 0:23:56For her career.

0:23:56 > 0:24:01Typical. You, sir, are well rid of her, I imagine.

0:24:01 > 0:24:05Along with that ring. Jezebels, the lot of them.

0:24:05 > 0:24:07Right. Well, I can't say I agree, but...

0:24:07 > 0:24:09You know it's the worst investment you can make.

0:24:09 > 0:24:12Big wedding, was it? And then there's all the cost before.

0:24:12 > 0:24:17The nights out, dinner, drinks, gifts.

0:24:17 > 0:24:21Women! They just suck it out of you.

0:24:21 > 0:24:23I'm sorry?

0:24:23 > 0:24:25They're like black holes.

0:24:26 > 0:24:31Let's say the date - £30 with the weekday voucher, no starters.

0:24:31 > 0:24:35Oh, yeah, but I bet you're the sort who won't split a bill, aren't you?

0:24:35 > 0:24:37Yeah. Think it's noble.

0:24:37 > 0:24:39Well, 30's a little cheap, if I'm being honest.

0:24:39 > 0:24:42You want to know what the average cost of a wedding is these days?

0:24:42 > 0:24:45- Hm?- £25,000!

0:24:45 > 0:24:48And for what?

0:24:48 > 0:24:51Prodding at each other like animals.

0:24:52 > 0:24:54We, sir, are well rid.

0:24:54 > 0:24:55We?

0:24:55 > 0:24:58- Well, it's the one upshot of my heart condition.- Which is?

0:25:00 > 0:25:01Didn't you read my notes?

0:25:03 > 0:25:06Impotence! I'm liberated.

0:25:06 > 0:25:08I never have to waste another second

0:25:08 > 0:25:11thinking about the so-called fairer sex.

0:25:11 > 0:25:13Good riddance, eh?

0:25:16 > 0:25:17Right.

0:25:21 > 0:25:23KNOCKING

0:25:24 > 0:25:26Come in.

0:25:30 > 0:25:32Just wanted to see if you were OK.

0:25:35 > 0:25:36Well, I appreciate your concern,

0:25:36 > 0:25:40but I think the patients deserve it more than I do.

0:25:41 > 0:25:44I just know that you've got a lot on your mind today.

0:25:44 > 0:25:46It can't just be about them.

0:25:47 > 0:25:50What's the point of trying to preserve all this,

0:25:50 > 0:25:53if we're not going to treat them with attention and care?

0:25:55 > 0:25:58Well, that's what we're aiming to do.

0:26:00 > 0:26:03Then where have we gone wrong, do you think?

0:26:04 > 0:26:06We need to go further.

0:26:08 > 0:26:12Not just do something that St Francis aren't doing.

0:26:13 > 0:26:15Do something no-one's doing.

0:26:16 > 0:26:17Go on.

0:26:19 > 0:26:22I've been looking into SAINT -

0:26:22 > 0:26:26post-surgical accelerated independence using novel technology.

0:26:26 > 0:26:28I'm familiar with the concept. Yes?

0:26:29 > 0:26:33I think we should do it. I think it would be ground-breaking.

0:26:33 > 0:26:36You don't think it might be a bit risky to launch

0:26:36 > 0:26:38a new practice under such scrutiny?

0:26:38 > 0:26:40I think risk is what we should be doing.

0:26:40 > 0:26:42We haven't got the novel technology, have we?

0:26:42 > 0:26:43No, not yet we don't,

0:26:43 > 0:26:46but we could implement the recovery practices today,

0:26:46 > 0:26:49and then order in the bio-sensors if we get approval -

0:26:49 > 0:26:52and the other great advantage is we can use the side bay.

0:26:52 > 0:26:54There's no more worrying about available beds.

0:26:54 > 0:26:56This is just an idea at the moment.

0:26:56 > 0:26:58Yes, but it's a great idea.

0:26:58 > 0:27:01We should be doing it to move with the times,

0:27:01 > 0:27:03not just because it looks good,

0:27:03 > 0:27:05not just because it meets our targets and money,

0:27:05 > 0:27:08it's because it's what's best for the patients -

0:27:08 > 0:27:10we won't have to send any elective patients away -

0:27:10 > 0:27:12when they come here for surgery, they get it!

0:27:14 > 0:27:17All right, but what makes you think we can take to this any better

0:27:17 > 0:27:19than what we've done so far today?

0:27:20 > 0:27:24You need to tell everyone what they're fighting for.

0:27:24 > 0:27:28And then they will see that I've failed them.

0:27:28 > 0:27:31No, you're the best man for the job, we all know that.

0:27:31 > 0:27:36No. They will see that I have tried to hide the truth.

0:27:39 > 0:27:41And they'll appreciate the honesty all the more.

0:27:41 > 0:27:44No more rumours.

0:27:46 > 0:27:50Maybe it's... Maybe it's good to show that you're human,

0:27:50 > 0:27:52just like the rest of us.

0:27:55 > 0:27:57I'll let you into a little secret.

0:27:57 > 0:28:00I've spent a lot of time today thinking,

0:28:00 > 0:28:04"What would Mr Griffin do? What would Ms Campbell do?"

0:28:04 > 0:28:08I should have been thinking, "What would Sacha Levy do?"

0:28:09 > 0:28:13People like pubs, people like pub bands.

0:28:13 > 0:28:17Don't ever sell yourself short.

0:28:21 > 0:28:23Gather the troops, please.

0:28:24 > 0:28:26Yes, sir.

0:28:29 > 0:28:31What, is it his birthday or something?

0:28:31 > 0:28:32Shhh!

0:28:34 > 0:28:35You don't think this is about Ric?

0:28:35 > 0:28:37Nah.

0:28:38 > 0:28:41MUTTERING

0:28:43 > 0:28:46So, ladies and gentlemen...

0:28:49 > 0:28:55..there is a merger proposed between St Francis and Holby City.

0:28:55 > 0:28:59This will only effect the surgical wards, not ED.

0:28:59 > 0:29:02Which hospital are they going to close?

0:29:02 > 0:29:04I can't say for certain.

0:29:04 > 0:29:06Well, I think we need to know, Mr Hanssen.

0:29:06 > 0:29:07Yeah, what does that mean for us?

0:29:08 > 0:29:11Well, it's not a fait accompli.

0:29:11 > 0:29:14Clearly, we do not wish to compete with our peers at St Francis,

0:29:14 > 0:29:17but we're going to have to, I'm afraid.

0:29:17 > 0:29:20Unfortunately, they face the same challenge as we do.

0:29:20 > 0:29:22There are no winners.

0:29:22 > 0:29:24I can't believe this.

0:29:24 > 0:29:28We are here to serve the public.

0:29:28 > 0:29:33Today we are proposing a trial run of SAINT on Keller ward.

0:29:33 > 0:29:38That means there will be more people getting the surgery they need.

0:29:38 > 0:29:41Expect more of this in the future.

0:29:41 > 0:29:42What future?

0:29:44 > 0:29:47Mark my words, there will be a future for us all.

0:29:54 > 0:29:55You're needed, you see.

0:29:57 > 0:29:59Under-appreciated, I agree.

0:29:59 > 0:30:03But at the same time, you're the most important people

0:30:03 > 0:30:04in the world...

0:30:06 > 0:30:10..and you are the best our NHS has to offer...

0:30:11 > 0:30:15..and on behalf of all the people who forget to say it...

0:30:17 > 0:30:19..I thank you...

0:30:23 > 0:30:24Thank you for all you've done,

0:30:24 > 0:30:27and for everything you will continue to do.

0:30:38 > 0:30:39OK, everyone.

0:30:41 > 0:30:43You know what to do.

0:30:43 > 0:30:46110% - same as we manage every day.

0:30:48 > 0:30:50Let's get to it.

0:30:50 > 0:30:53CHATTERING

0:31:01 > 0:31:03CHATTING

0:31:03 > 0:31:06Hey. You all right?

0:31:06 > 0:31:07Yeah, I'm fine.

0:31:07 > 0:31:09Look, you can talk to me, you know.

0:31:12 > 0:31:17We're fighting for our jobs and I land a big scandal on our doorstep.

0:31:17 > 0:31:18Peak Donna, right?

0:31:18 > 0:31:21None of that is your fault.

0:31:21 > 0:31:24I feel so guilty. And worse than that, I feel stupid.

0:31:24 > 0:31:27Why? You told the truth, didn't you?

0:31:27 > 0:31:30How likely is it that I remember something better than Ric Griffin?

0:31:30 > 0:31:32Look, you are a brilliant nurse, Donna.

0:31:32 > 0:31:35And I don't believe you, or Ric, made a mistake that night,

0:31:35 > 0:31:37and I bet you anything that's what the CPS find out, too.

0:31:39 > 0:31:40Thanks, Raf.

0:31:45 > 0:31:48Mr Percival, has he been discharged?

0:31:48 > 0:31:51He was leaving before we went to the meeting.

0:31:51 > 0:31:54Dom, can you find him, can you ask him to come back for me?

0:31:54 > 0:31:55- OK.- Good.

0:31:55 > 0:31:58Are you are sure Mr Percival fits the bill?

0:31:58 > 0:32:01If I can perform an intracorporeal anastomosis

0:32:01 > 0:32:05instead of a typical helicolectomy, I'd cut his recovery right down.

0:32:05 > 0:32:07He's a great example of what we could do,

0:32:07 > 0:32:09as long as I could get the rest of the tech.

0:32:10 > 0:32:13More than likely it's the beta-blockers

0:32:13 > 0:32:14that have been causing...um...

0:32:16 > 0:32:18..your difficulties.

0:32:18 > 0:32:23Well, I did try coming off them, but the chest pains were awful,

0:32:23 > 0:32:25and I thought, well, it wasn't worth it.

0:32:26 > 0:32:29No libido, no problem.

0:32:30 > 0:32:31If you say so.

0:32:32 > 0:32:34Well, it's obscene, anyway.

0:32:34 > 0:32:37It's clearly not this biological imperative,

0:32:37 > 0:32:41because she's still at it, long after the menopause.

0:32:41 > 0:32:44It's got nothing to do with children. Quite the opposite!

0:32:44 > 0:32:45Sorry, who's she?

0:32:45 > 0:32:48Lost all reasoning. Because, why?

0:32:48 > 0:32:51Some equally lascivious old fool has come prodding at her.

0:32:51 > 0:32:53Who are we talking about?

0:32:53 > 0:32:55Mother!

0:32:55 > 0:32:56Oh.

0:32:57 > 0:32:59Taken a lover.

0:32:59 > 0:33:02Or some unscrupulous con-artist,

0:33:02 > 0:33:05with a very strong stomach and an eye on my inheritance.

0:33:05 > 0:33:07Right.

0:33:09 > 0:33:13You don't think maybe that your attitude might be a reaction

0:33:13 > 0:33:16to your mother's new lifestyle?

0:33:16 > 0:33:19You don't think maybe I'd rather talk to a heart surgeon

0:33:19 > 0:33:21than a psychiatrist?

0:33:21 > 0:33:24Good point. Right, we're all done.

0:33:29 > 0:33:31What did I miss?

0:33:31 > 0:33:32Uh. The end of the world?

0:33:32 > 0:33:35Our potential closure officially announced,

0:33:35 > 0:33:37and what it's looking like for us.

0:33:37 > 0:33:38Right.

0:33:38 > 0:33:42So I chose this hospital only to have it die from underneath me.

0:33:43 > 0:33:44Great.

0:33:45 > 0:33:49- Mr James.- Yeah.- Where are we? - I was thinking a mitral repair.

0:33:49 > 0:33:50Why?

0:33:50 > 0:33:54He...uh... Um...

0:33:54 > 0:33:55I need a reason.

0:33:55 > 0:33:56Yes.

0:33:58 > 0:34:00You know what? Don't worry about it.

0:34:09 > 0:34:12Mr Levy. The schedule's changed for this afternoon.

0:34:12 > 0:34:14I thought I'd be operating in front of the assessors.

0:34:14 > 0:34:15It's nothing major.

0:34:15 > 0:34:17I'll be going in with Dominic and Ted,

0:34:17 > 0:34:21and if all goes well, it'll be you, Nina and your case study afterwards.

0:34:21 > 0:34:22With the assessors still here?

0:34:22 > 0:34:24Absolutely, yeah. Don't worry about it.

0:34:29 > 0:34:32So, why the sudden rush to cut me open?

0:34:32 > 0:34:34Am I really ill, then?

0:34:34 > 0:34:36Who are they going to name the disease after? You or me?

0:34:36 > 0:34:38There is nothing to worry about.

0:34:38 > 0:34:41The fainting was just low blood sugar. You were just hungry.

0:34:41 > 0:34:43Yeah. I still am.

0:34:43 > 0:34:46We have some special guests here to review our efficiency,

0:34:46 > 0:34:47so, rather than send you home,

0:34:47 > 0:34:50we thought we'd show off just how quickly we can do things.

0:34:50 > 0:34:51But not a rush job?

0:34:51 > 0:34:53No. Never.

0:34:54 > 0:34:56So, from no doctors to three doctors!

0:34:56 > 0:34:58I suppose I should be grateful to this VIP, then.

0:34:58 > 0:35:00You'd be the only one.

0:35:00 > 0:35:02Right. Where do I sign?

0:35:02 > 0:35:05The ED said they'll do all they can for us this afternoon.

0:35:05 > 0:35:06Anything else I can do?

0:35:06 > 0:35:08Just keep it up, Nurse Harrison.

0:35:08 > 0:35:10We're good to go with Mr Percival.

0:35:12 > 0:35:15That's perfect timing. The assessors have just arrived in reception.

0:35:15 > 0:35:18Oh, I'm just going to put on some more deodorant.

0:35:18 > 0:35:19Be back in a bit.

0:35:22 > 0:35:23You all right?

0:35:25 > 0:35:27Feels like a hangover, you know.

0:35:29 > 0:35:32First my head kicks in, now the whole room feels fuzzy.

0:35:32 > 0:35:34OK, put your head up for me, please.

0:35:35 > 0:35:37I know that you said you've done all you can,

0:35:37 > 0:35:39but I really, really need your help.

0:35:39 > 0:35:41Come on, now. We've spoken about this.

0:35:43 > 0:35:45I didn't exactly fall over in the park.

0:35:45 > 0:35:47I was in a fight.

0:35:49 > 0:35:53I used to be in a gang and when I first went down, I named names.

0:35:54 > 0:35:59Those girls, now that I'm out, they've got it in for me.

0:36:01 > 0:36:03They're the ones who stabbed me in my shoulder.

0:36:03 > 0:36:05Then we need to call the police.

0:36:05 > 0:36:08It'll ruin my probation if they think that I started it.

0:36:08 > 0:36:11I've already told the officer that I just fell over in the park.

0:36:13 > 0:36:15That's the appointment that I was late for.

0:36:15 > 0:36:17I don't want him to think I'm a liar.

0:36:20 > 0:36:22You seem like one of the good guys.

0:36:24 > 0:36:26I wouldn't ask unless I thought it was important.

0:36:28 > 0:36:31I've got one week left on this tag and then I'm out of the country.

0:36:31 > 0:36:33It's not just a new start -

0:36:33 > 0:36:35it's a chance to be safe.

0:36:36 > 0:36:39Please, help me.

0:36:42 > 0:36:43So, a change of plan.

0:36:43 > 0:36:46After Mr Percival, I'd like you and Ms Karnik

0:36:46 > 0:36:48to focus on a shorter procedure -

0:36:48 > 0:36:50not the hepato-pancreato-biliary you have scheduled.

0:36:50 > 0:36:52I was...

0:36:53 > 0:36:56I just thought I'd have a chance to do my case study

0:36:56 > 0:36:58in front of the Trust.

0:36:58 > 0:37:00It's a great visual, the body opened up like that.

0:37:00 > 0:37:02Precisely why we can't fit it into the afternoon's schedule.

0:37:02 > 0:37:03It takes too long.

0:37:03 > 0:37:06We could treat two, perhaps three patients in the same time -

0:37:06 > 0:37:10but I would like you to be in theatre with Mr Levy, please.

0:37:10 > 0:37:13- Of course. Anything to help. - Thank you.

0:37:20 > 0:37:21Right.

0:37:25 > 0:37:27- Mr James? Have you seen him? - Yeah. Bit weird, isn't he?

0:37:27 > 0:37:30- Have you seen him recently? - Aha!- Never mind.

0:37:32 > 0:37:34What is your problem, pal?

0:37:34 > 0:37:36- Take a look at this fella's hands. - What are you doing?

0:37:36 > 0:37:40I thought I'd lend a hand. Help find that missing ring of yours.

0:37:40 > 0:37:42OK. Mr Rooney, I apologise.

0:37:42 > 0:37:44It's safe to say that none of those rings belong to me,

0:37:44 > 0:37:46lovely though they are.

0:37:46 > 0:37:48Well, you might want to rethink all of this.

0:37:48 > 0:37:50Makes you look a lot like a gangster!

0:37:50 > 0:37:52- It's a great look. - Is he having a laugh or what?

0:37:52 > 0:37:54Mr James.

0:37:54 > 0:37:57Mr James, I appreciate your help, I really do,

0:37:57 > 0:38:00but it would be best if you stayed in bed.

0:38:00 > 0:38:02I just thought if we could find it, then we could be done with it,

0:38:02 > 0:38:05once and for all. Get rid of it properly.

0:38:05 > 0:38:07Find it to get rid of it?

0:38:07 > 0:38:11Exactly! To throw it away, and then we shall be free.

0:38:11 > 0:38:13You and I.

0:38:13 > 0:38:17A brotherhood of liberated men, free from the shackles of desire!

0:38:17 > 0:38:19OK. Nurse?

0:38:19 > 0:38:21Would you get Mr James back to bed for me, please?

0:38:21 > 0:38:22Thank you.

0:38:24 > 0:38:26Why's he think that you're finished with women?

0:38:26 > 0:38:29Unless you've found my wedding ring, or a way of saving all our jobs,

0:38:29 > 0:38:31I really don't want to talk to you, mate.

0:38:34 > 0:38:36If this was a small thing, even if it was just a holiday,

0:38:36 > 0:38:38I wouldn't be pushing for it,

0:38:38 > 0:38:40but it sounds like the rest of her life,

0:38:40 > 0:38:42and it sounds like she's not well.

0:38:42 > 0:38:44She's describing blurred vision and headaches.

0:38:44 > 0:38:47And you're sure about the whole thing with the gang and the tag?

0:38:47 > 0:38:48Donna?

0:38:50 > 0:38:52They won't let me see my mum's notes.

0:38:52 > 0:38:54- Did you know that when you sent me away?- What are you doing here?

0:38:54 > 0:38:56I just said that Maz might be able to help you, that's all.

0:38:56 > 0:38:59- They told me you'd do this. Give me the runaround.- Who did?

0:38:59 > 0:39:02- My lawyers.- I really don't think you should be having this conversation.

0:39:02 > 0:39:04They also said I should sue.

0:39:04 > 0:39:05Look, I was just trying to help you.

0:39:05 > 0:39:07If you want to take that out on me,

0:39:07 > 0:39:09then that's fine, but don't take it out on everyone else.

0:39:09 > 0:39:13You need to leave. What you came for isn't here, so please just go home.

0:39:13 > 0:39:14Look, all I...

0:39:14 > 0:39:15I mean it.

0:39:17 > 0:39:20I'm going. I'm going.

0:39:21 > 0:39:23I'm going have to make it up with him.

0:39:23 > 0:39:26I can't have him suing the hospital and whatever else.

0:39:26 > 0:39:29Yeah, later, but first I need you to prep Primrose for theatre.

0:39:29 > 0:39:31I thought we didn't have time.

0:39:31 > 0:39:34Yeah, well, maybe we need to give the girl a break.

0:39:41 > 0:39:43Hey, sorry. I don't suppose you've seen...

0:39:43 > 0:39:45Stop. Enough.

0:39:45 > 0:39:47- Sorry?- I've told you already, leave it alone.

0:39:47 > 0:39:50- I was just...- It's a trinket. It's a comfort blanket.

0:39:50 > 0:39:51It's not that.

0:39:51 > 0:39:53I know what it's like to obsess over these things.

0:39:53 > 0:39:56I need you in theatre right now. If you can't be, go home.

0:39:56 > 0:39:58I know. That's why I was asking Rachelle

0:39:58 > 0:40:00if she'd seen Mrs Delaney's consent forms.

0:40:00 > 0:40:03Not my wedding ring, thank you.

0:40:06 > 0:40:08You read this?

0:40:09 > 0:40:13Yes. Good press for us. I'll tell everyone she was my protege.

0:40:13 > 0:40:15I mean, did you clock the name?

0:40:17 > 0:40:18It's got to hurt, right?

0:40:25 > 0:40:26Mr Valentine?

0:40:28 > 0:40:30Oliver?

0:40:33 > 0:40:35What now?

0:40:36 > 0:40:40Perhaps I was a little... insensitive?

0:40:41 > 0:40:43I saw the article.

0:40:43 > 0:40:45Ms Self?

0:40:47 > 0:40:49You know what, that isn't even the worst part.

0:40:49 > 0:40:52She looks very good in the photo, it's true.

0:40:56 > 0:40:58She's out there making a name for herself,

0:40:58 > 0:41:02and I am so proud of her...

0:41:05 > 0:41:08..but while she's going from strength to strength, I'm...

0:41:09 > 0:41:11What do you want to do?

0:41:13 > 0:41:17Mr James. I really think we should offer mitral repair.

0:41:18 > 0:41:20You said this. Why?

0:41:20 > 0:41:21He's impotent.

0:41:21 > 0:41:25And insists that he's given up on romance forever,

0:41:25 > 0:41:28but I think even he deserves a chance...

0:41:28 > 0:41:32I mean, for all we know, he may well still be a...you know.

0:41:32 > 0:41:35Do you really want to wish him on another human being?

0:41:36 > 0:41:40I just think he doesn't have to be lonely for the rest of his life.

0:41:43 > 0:41:44OK.

0:41:45 > 0:41:46I will look into it.

0:41:48 > 0:41:50Thank you.

0:41:53 > 0:41:56Well, Ms Budd is ready and prepped for theatre.

0:41:56 > 0:41:57Cool. I'll let Raf know.

0:41:57 > 0:42:01Oh, and by the way, that tag thing? Turns out she was in a girl gang.

0:42:01 > 0:42:04She told me she threw an egg at her local MP.

0:42:04 > 0:42:05What?

0:42:05 > 0:42:06Yeah. After her nan lost her home.

0:42:06 > 0:42:08She told me a big long story about it.

0:42:08 > 0:42:11She told me she stole a Shetland pony.

0:42:11 > 0:42:13She told me she'd grassed on her mates

0:42:13 > 0:42:15and that is why she's so keen to get out of here.

0:42:15 > 0:42:18So do you think any of her stories are true?

0:42:18 > 0:42:20She played me to get into theatre.

0:42:20 > 0:42:23So, all that talk about her mother?

0:42:30 > 0:42:34Typically, the bulk of this procedure is external,

0:42:34 > 0:42:37but today we're carrying out an intracorporeal anastomosis,

0:42:37 > 0:42:41so the repair and join all take place inside the patient.

0:42:41 > 0:42:44This way, we reduce the recovery time,

0:42:44 > 0:42:48which makes Mr Percival here eligible for the SAINT monitors,

0:42:48 > 0:42:52freeing him up to be discharged within the desired 23 hours,

0:42:52 > 0:42:55whilst allowing us to keep a close eye on his health.

0:42:55 > 0:42:56We've a perforation.

0:42:56 > 0:42:59Suction, please. Quick as you can.

0:43:00 > 0:43:02We've got contamination.

0:43:02 > 0:43:04Should we convert to open and wash?

0:43:04 > 0:43:08- No. It's single quadrant. We can keep going.- Thank you.

0:43:11 > 0:43:12Hold this sling, please.

0:43:13 > 0:43:14Donna?

0:43:14 > 0:43:16Sorry.

0:43:16 > 0:43:17Do you want to talk about it?

0:43:17 > 0:43:18What?

0:43:18 > 0:43:19You tell me.

0:43:21 > 0:43:23She lied to me. Well, at least I think she did.

0:43:23 > 0:43:25About the fighting and the gang.

0:43:25 > 0:43:26How come?

0:43:26 > 0:43:30I'm not even sure I care that much. Why couldn't I tell, though?

0:43:30 > 0:43:34I've been around her all day. I should know what people can be like.

0:43:34 > 0:43:37Look, don't beat yourself up about it. People make mistakes.

0:43:37 > 0:43:39Some more than others.

0:43:39 > 0:43:415-0 Prolene, please.

0:43:41 > 0:43:42Thank you.

0:43:42 > 0:43:44Look, you are handling all of this

0:43:44 > 0:43:48- much better than most people would, you know?- I should have lied.

0:43:48 > 0:43:51People get more out of life when they do. Look at her.

0:43:51 > 0:43:53Don't let Jeremy get to you.

0:43:53 > 0:43:56I thought you were the comeback queen.

0:43:56 > 0:43:57The keyhole mitral repair

0:43:57 > 0:44:01would hopefully prevent further palpitations and arrhythmia.

0:44:01 > 0:44:03Well, don't the beta-blockers already do that?

0:44:03 > 0:44:06Yes, but you can come off those and, you know, you could...

0:44:08 > 0:44:11Could? Hm? Spit it out.

0:44:14 > 0:44:18It would restore your...manlihood.

0:44:20 > 0:44:21Oh.

0:44:21 > 0:44:23If you want to, of course.

0:44:23 > 0:44:26Seems strange when I've already told you

0:44:26 > 0:44:28I'm perfectly happy to be unencumbered.

0:44:28 > 0:44:30- "Unen..."?- Cumbered.

0:44:30 > 0:44:35Liberated from the lusty desires the rest of you waste so much time on.

0:44:35 > 0:44:38Yes. Well, I just thought you might like the luxury,

0:44:38 > 0:44:39just in case...

0:44:39 > 0:44:40In case?

0:44:40 > 0:44:41You met someone.

0:44:41 > 0:44:43I met someone?

0:44:46 > 0:44:50You have... You must have... before.

0:44:50 > 0:44:54I fail to see how this is any of your business.

0:44:54 > 0:44:59No. Of course. I just thought... you know, if it happened again...

0:44:59 > 0:45:00I mean, just look at your mother.

0:45:00 > 0:45:02I'd rather not.

0:45:02 > 0:45:04Well.

0:45:04 > 0:45:05The option's there.

0:45:05 > 0:45:07Ah...

0:45:07 > 0:45:09Well, you never know...

0:45:11 > 0:45:13Th-thank you.

0:45:13 > 0:45:14Is that a yes?

0:45:16 > 0:45:20On the off-chance that I might change my mind...

0:45:22 > 0:45:24..then surgery might help.

0:45:24 > 0:45:25Great.

0:45:25 > 0:45:27But he has to tie that back.

0:45:27 > 0:45:31I'm not catching MRSA from that ludicrous over-grooming.

0:45:35 > 0:45:37Excellent work, Mr Copeland.

0:45:37 > 0:45:40So, after this,

0:45:40 > 0:45:45the patient would be moved to a recovery bay for routine checks.

0:45:45 > 0:45:47Now, the advantage of a dedicated bay,

0:45:47 > 0:45:50which doesn't need to be staffed 24 hours a day,

0:45:50 > 0:45:53means never losing beds to other emergencies.

0:45:53 > 0:45:56Mr Johansson, can you retract for me, please?

0:45:56 > 0:46:00Within 23 hours, they're free to go home, with a sensor,

0:46:00 > 0:46:04so hospital and patient alike can monitor their progress.

0:46:09 > 0:46:12Holby on speed-dial, basically.

0:46:12 > 0:46:14We'd be the first hospital in the country to roll this out.

0:46:14 > 0:46:17It's the next big step.

0:46:17 > 0:46:19All right, if you'd like to follow me, please.

0:46:22 > 0:46:24Well done. Well done, everyone.

0:46:24 > 0:46:27Well, thank goodness I put on extra deodorant.

0:46:32 > 0:46:35We've repaired your pseudoaneurysm with a graft,

0:46:35 > 0:46:37and it'll be sore,

0:46:37 > 0:46:40but within a week or two you should be able to lift and move.

0:46:40 > 0:46:43I owe you big thanks. I was so worried.

0:46:43 > 0:46:45If you ever make it to the Caribbean,

0:46:45 > 0:46:48there's a strawberry daiquiri with your name on it.

0:46:48 > 0:46:50Right, OK. Well, good luck.

0:46:50 > 0:46:52Is there a problem?

0:46:55 > 0:46:57I don't like being lied to.

0:46:57 > 0:47:00All of that stuff about the gang, to string me along.

0:47:00 > 0:47:04I was getting desperate. I thought a sob story might help.

0:47:04 > 0:47:06I didn't realise I was that good at acting.

0:47:06 > 0:47:08It was pretty shady.

0:47:08 > 0:47:11Well, I am a crook, after all.

0:47:11 > 0:47:14So, come on then, what was it? What did you really do?

0:47:14 > 0:47:19Who cares? I'm tired of being the topic of everyone's conversation.

0:47:19 > 0:47:22I did what I did, I got caught, I've been punished -

0:47:22 > 0:47:26but now I'm going to be someone new. Go somewhere new.

0:47:26 > 0:47:29Who knows, might even change my name.

0:47:29 > 0:47:30Donna Jackson?

0:47:30 > 0:47:32WEST COUNTRY ACCENT: Tell everyone I was a saucy nurse back in England.

0:47:32 > 0:47:34I do not talk like that.

0:47:34 > 0:47:40Either way, I know who I am and what I want to do with my life.

0:47:40 > 0:47:43And if everyone else thinks that I'm an international jewellery thief

0:47:43 > 0:47:46or an art forger,

0:47:46 > 0:47:49that's up to them.

0:47:50 > 0:47:52Good for you.

0:47:59 > 0:48:01Oh, so, how did the audition go?

0:48:01 > 0:48:03We still haven't heard yet.

0:48:03 > 0:48:05Your surgery, however, went very well.

0:48:05 > 0:48:07Mainly thanks to this one.

0:48:07 > 0:48:09And with any luck, you'll have a shorter recovery time

0:48:09 > 0:48:11than we first planned.

0:48:11 > 0:48:13So I can tell my daughter it all went well?

0:48:13 > 0:48:15Yeah, absolutely.

0:48:16 > 0:48:18I'll give her a bell now.

0:48:23 > 0:48:24So?

0:48:24 > 0:48:28So, I think we all owe Mr Levy a debt of gratitude.

0:48:28 > 0:48:29His SAINT pitch impressed

0:48:29 > 0:48:32as much as your deft hand in theatre, Mr Copeland.

0:48:32 > 0:48:34You should take some credit too, you know.

0:48:34 > 0:48:37Oh, no, no, no, I'd rather congratulate you all, thank you.

0:48:37 > 0:48:39Right. What's next?

0:48:39 > 0:48:40Well, today was just the beginning.

0:48:40 > 0:48:43The pressure is now on us to deliver what we promised.

0:48:45 > 0:48:46Bring it on.

0:48:48 > 0:48:51So, Holby City.

0:48:51 > 0:48:54Of all the places you could be, this is where you are.

0:48:55 > 0:48:57What are you going to do?

0:48:57 > 0:48:58What are you going to do?

0:48:58 > 0:49:02Irrelevant. I am me. I want to know what you will do.

0:49:02 > 0:49:04Stay. Get on with things.

0:49:04 > 0:49:05That it? Where's the passion?

0:49:05 > 0:49:07I need passion?

0:49:07 > 0:49:08I have passion.

0:49:08 > 0:49:10Ms Effanga, she had passion.

0:49:10 > 0:49:12Jac has it most of all.

0:49:12 > 0:49:13Oh, God, please don't.

0:49:13 > 0:49:15Come on.

0:49:15 > 0:49:19Zosia opens the medical journal in a month's time

0:49:19 > 0:49:22and your face is there -

0:49:22 > 0:49:24what is Oliver Valentine doing?

0:49:24 > 0:49:26Chest wall reconstruction.

0:49:26 > 0:49:28What's the article say?

0:49:28 > 0:49:33That I got the funding, and I've put Holby back in the spotlight,

0:49:33 > 0:49:37where it belongs, with the latest innovations out of Darwin.

0:49:39 > 0:49:40Ta-da!

0:49:40 > 0:49:42Good.

0:49:42 > 0:49:45So you become you, she becomes she,

0:49:45 > 0:49:48and a year from now...

0:49:48 > 0:49:51We meet in Zurich -

0:49:51 > 0:49:54the two greatest surgeons in the world.

0:49:54 > 0:49:56Bravissimo.

0:49:56 > 0:49:59LAUGHING

0:50:03 > 0:50:07CLASSICAL MUSIC PLAYS, KNOCKING

0:50:07 > 0:50:09Come in.

0:50:14 > 0:50:15Wagner?

0:50:16 > 0:50:20Yes, I can fault the man, but I can't fault the music.

0:50:25 > 0:50:28Mr Percival's daughter dropped by to visit him. She brought you this.

0:50:28 > 0:50:34- Oh!- It's the jewel in their crown, apparently - barrel-aged.

0:50:36 > 0:50:38Well, you can stay and share it with me, if you like.

0:50:43 > 0:50:47I, er... I've got a lot to do and a long drive home.

0:50:47 > 0:50:49All right.

0:50:50 > 0:50:53"Si monumentum requiris circumspice."

0:50:54 > 0:50:56You know what that means?

0:50:56 > 0:51:00Sir Christopher Wren's son wrote it in dedication -

0:51:00 > 0:51:04"If you seek his monument, look around you."

0:51:05 > 0:51:07Very nice.

0:51:09 > 0:51:12I'll, um...leave you to it.

0:51:14 > 0:51:16Fredrik.

0:51:17 > 0:51:19I know you're hurting.

0:51:20 > 0:51:22You must miss your family very much.

0:51:23 > 0:51:26I hope that Sara reaches out to you soon.

0:51:38 > 0:51:41Good news, Mr James. Your operation was a success.

0:51:41 > 0:51:43Now, we need to keep an eye on you for a few days,

0:51:43 > 0:51:46but then you'll be on your way.

0:51:46 > 0:51:47Medication-free.

0:51:47 > 0:51:51Right. So...I can...?

0:51:52 > 0:51:53Here's hoping.

0:51:54 > 0:51:58Well. There you go, then, Mother.

0:51:58 > 0:52:00Two can play at that game.

0:52:06 > 0:52:07Thank you.

0:52:07 > 0:52:10I spoke to maintenance and they're prepared to check

0:52:10 > 0:52:12the plumbing in the loos - they just want to know which...

0:52:12 > 0:52:14It's all right. Stand them down.

0:52:14 > 0:52:17- You found it? - No. If it turns up, it turns up.

0:52:17 > 0:52:18If it doesn't, it doesn't. Let's move on.

0:52:18 > 0:52:20- You sure?- Yes.

0:52:23 > 0:52:25Positive.

0:52:26 > 0:52:28- MAN:- 'I'm sorry I keep missing you.

0:52:28 > 0:52:31'Things are a bit hectic here, but I'm OK. We'll talk soon.

0:52:31 > 0:52:33'Love to you and the girls.'

0:52:33 > 0:52:34- Hey.- Hey.

0:52:34 > 0:52:37For what it's worth, thank you.

0:52:37 > 0:52:39You made a big difference today -

0:52:39 > 0:52:41and I reckon Primrose would agree with me.

0:52:41 > 0:52:43I just want to keep my head down and be a good nurse.

0:52:43 > 0:52:44Job done.

0:52:44 > 0:52:47And not care too much about what people think of me.

0:52:47 > 0:52:48Sounds like a plan.

0:52:51 > 0:52:53Why would she lie about her mum like that?

0:52:53 > 0:52:55Maybe she didn't.

0:52:55 > 0:52:56But she did.

0:52:57 > 0:52:59So have you ever tried to find her? Your mum?

0:52:59 > 0:53:01Oh, my mum? No.

0:53:01 > 0:53:06All I know is that her name is Evelyn and she walked out on me

0:53:06 > 0:53:08when I was eight.

0:53:08 > 0:53:09That must have been tough.

0:53:09 > 0:53:11Yeah, it was, but what can you do?

0:53:12 > 0:53:15Things aren't always clear cut, are they?

0:53:16 > 0:53:17Oh, Don!

0:53:19 > 0:53:22So, I've had a bit of a crazy idea.

0:53:22 > 0:53:24What about,

0:53:24 > 0:53:26we all go to Albie's?

0:53:26 > 0:53:29Thanks, but I think I'll have a quiet one in tonight.

0:53:29 > 0:53:31It's been a bit of a day.

0:53:31 > 0:53:35Are you sure? What if I get you a packet of scampi snacks?

0:53:35 > 0:53:38Thank you, but...next time.

0:53:38 > 0:53:40OK, have a good night.

0:53:40 > 0:53:41- See ya.- Bye.

0:53:41 > 0:53:42You ready?

0:53:42 > 0:53:44- Let's go.- Awesome.

0:53:48 > 0:53:51So I hear Keller put on a good show, anyway.

0:53:51 > 0:53:53So all that tidying up was for nothing?

0:53:53 > 0:53:55Well, I found four quid and a Lego spaceman,

0:53:55 > 0:53:57- so I wouldn't say it was for nothing.- Get us some crisps, then.

0:53:57 > 0:53:59All right, fair enough. Any more for anyone?

0:53:59 > 0:54:01Same again.

0:54:01 > 0:54:02Rossini?

0:54:02 > 0:54:03Not for me. Time to go.

0:54:05 > 0:54:07Just a trinket?

0:54:08 > 0:54:10Don't stay out too late.

0:54:10 > 0:54:13Tomorrow we work on that chest reconstruction presentation.

0:54:13 > 0:54:16You are going to get that funding. Do not disappoint me.

0:54:19 > 0:54:21Good night, my friends.

0:54:24 > 0:54:25- Night, Donna.- Night, lovely.

0:54:27 > 0:54:29Have you been here all day?

0:54:30 > 0:54:35No, I asked your friend Maz what time she thought you were finishing.

0:54:35 > 0:54:37I wanted to say sorry.

0:54:37 > 0:54:40I acted like a jerk. I think I was just frustrated at...

0:54:40 > 0:54:43well, everything.

0:54:43 > 0:54:44Makes sense.

0:54:44 > 0:54:49Wanting... Wanting to sue a hospital is a bit much.

0:54:51 > 0:54:53You know, the lawyers putting you up to this,

0:54:53 > 0:54:55they can't be thinking about what's best.

0:54:55 > 0:54:58Yeah, well, they're the only ones listening.

0:54:58 > 0:55:00I'm listening. I mean it.

0:55:00 > 0:55:03If you want to talk about something, then talk to me.

0:55:03 > 0:55:06You're not trying to steer me, are you?

0:55:06 > 0:55:08Steer you away from a fight you don't need?

0:55:10 > 0:55:13Yeah, I probably am, if I'm being honest,

0:55:13 > 0:55:16but that's because I don't think it'll be good for you, either.

0:55:17 > 0:55:22I just... I honestly don't know what I'm supposed to do.

0:55:22 > 0:55:24Neither do I.

0:55:28 > 0:55:31Um... Here. Um...

0:55:33 > 0:55:35It's my phone number.

0:55:36 > 0:55:38Might be good to talk.

0:55:38 > 0:55:39Sure. Thanks.

0:55:43 > 0:55:44I'll see you.

0:55:49 > 0:55:51Well, I know you're the boss,

0:55:51 > 0:55:54but are we going to get in trouble for this?

0:55:54 > 0:55:56Well, I won't tell if you don't.

0:56:12 > 0:56:14- Cheers.- Cheers.

0:56:21 > 0:56:24Oh, wow. Oh, it's lovely.

0:56:24 > 0:56:27- This is barrel-aged, apparently.- Hm.

0:56:32 > 0:56:36OK, off the record, between you and me,

0:56:36 > 0:56:39do you think we'll make it?

0:56:41 > 0:56:44Well, we did our absolute best,

0:56:44 > 0:56:46and anyone would be hard-pressed to top that.

0:56:50 > 0:56:52See, I need people like you, Mr Levy,

0:56:52 > 0:56:55not to rally to my side, but to challenge me.

0:56:55 > 0:56:57To steer me back to what matters most.

0:56:59 > 0:57:01I don't really want blind devotion.

0:57:02 > 0:57:06I need someone to tell me when I might be wrong.

0:57:06 > 0:57:09Well, you have my word.

0:57:09 > 0:57:11Good.

0:57:13 > 0:57:15Then there's hope.
