0:00:02 > 0:00:04How would you feel about applying for the position
0:00:04 > 0:00:07- of Departmental Foundation Doctor Representative?- Wow.
0:00:07 > 0:00:08Do you think I'd be any good at it?
0:00:08 > 0:00:10I wouldn't be asking if I didn't.
0:00:10 > 0:00:13You can talk to me, any time. I'll try to help.
0:00:13 > 0:00:14I don't need your help.
0:00:14 > 0:00:16I never sleep, Mum, because of you.
0:00:16 > 0:00:19I watch out for you to make sure that you're still breathing.
0:00:19 > 0:00:22Every night, I'm scared that you'll just stop.
0:00:22 > 0:00:25- I'm going to get help to stop taking the medication.- OK.
0:00:25 > 0:00:27I've chosen a really brilliant sponsor to help me
0:00:27 > 0:00:29through the process.
0:00:29 > 0:00:31You mean...me?
0:00:31 > 0:00:32Matteo Rossini.
0:00:32 > 0:00:36Now, could one of you point me in the direction of Darwin Ward?
0:00:36 > 0:00:38I believe I'm late for my first day.
0:02:09 > 0:02:12Oi-oi! Wait up.
0:02:14 > 0:02:16What do you think?
0:02:16 > 0:02:1770 quid off eBay!
0:02:17 > 0:02:20Well, when you're ready for a real mid-life crisis,
0:02:20 > 0:02:22let me know and I'll let you ride my beast.
0:02:22 > 0:02:24Got the thrill, have you?
0:02:24 > 0:02:26Smell of the leathers, thrill of the open road?
0:02:26 > 0:02:29Well, haven't you heard? It's the new me.
0:02:29 > 0:02:31- PHONE CHIMES - Date tonight.
0:02:34 > 0:02:36She does all this sexting stuff.
0:02:36 > 0:02:37It's a bit full-on for me!
0:02:37 > 0:02:40All the kids are doing it. Here, let me see.
0:02:40 > 0:02:41Whoa!
0:02:43 > 0:02:45What site did you two hook up on, Porn-Stars-R-Us?
0:02:45 > 0:02:48What's to say we didn't meet in the bread aisle buying focaccia?
0:02:48 > 0:02:51Because you gave up carbs a month ago - allegedly.
0:02:51 > 0:02:52What are you writing?
0:02:52 > 0:02:54Your ticket to heaven. No need to thank me.
0:02:57 > 0:03:00- Jac!- Enjoy it while it lasts. - Sorry, what's that meant to mean?
0:03:00 > 0:03:03Well, I think we both know that you're punching way above your weight.
0:03:03 > 0:03:06Unless it's your quirky personality she's attracted to,
0:03:06 > 0:03:08or perhaps it's your consultant's salary?
0:03:08 > 0:03:09SHE GROANS
0:03:09 > 0:03:11You OK?
0:03:11 > 0:03:13Yes, I'm fine.
0:03:13 > 0:03:15You forgot your helmet.
0:03:15 > 0:03:16Jac!
0:03:20 > 0:03:22You've been avoiding my calls like I've been chasing you
0:03:22 > 0:03:26for a PPI claim or something. It was you who called me, remember?
0:03:26 > 0:03:28Yeah, I've seen the scans. We just wait and watch.
0:03:28 > 0:03:31I know you think that gynae is child's play when it comes
0:03:31 > 0:03:33to serious doctoring. However...
0:03:33 > 0:03:36Look, it's my body, my choices. The painkillers are working fine.
0:03:36 > 0:03:39Now, if you'll excuse me, I've a very busy day today.
0:03:45 > 0:03:47Something amusing? Care to share?
0:03:47 > 0:03:49TRANSLATION FROM ITALIAN:
0:03:51 > 0:03:52Prego!
0:03:52 > 0:03:55Listen to Mikey's maths test yesterday. All right?
0:03:55 > 0:03:57Jonny has 32 chocolate Santas.
0:03:57 > 0:04:00He gives - thank you - Jane eight, Paul four
0:04:00 > 0:04:03and then eats 18 himself. What's he got?
0:04:03 > 0:04:05Diabetes?
0:04:05 > 0:04:08- Raf, could I have a word?- Sure.
0:04:09 > 0:04:13Do you know what? I just think they push them too hard at school.
0:04:13 > 0:04:17The answer's two. It is basic arithmetic for kids his age.
0:04:17 > 0:04:21Yeah, well my basic arithmetic - two plus two leaves me with nothing!
0:04:21 > 0:04:23Are things still really tough at home?
0:04:23 > 0:04:26Just failed some credit score for a poxy rental.
0:04:26 > 0:04:28So looks like poor old Raf's going to be putting up with us
0:04:28 > 0:04:30for a second year on the bounce.
0:04:30 > 0:04:33Aww, but he'll love it. You know, all the kids around.
0:04:33 > 0:04:34presents under the tree.
0:04:34 > 0:04:36You can have mince pies. He can play Santa...
0:04:36 > 0:04:39Yeah, but it's not St Nicholas paying for it all, is it?
0:04:39 > 0:04:42Right, listen up, guys and girls, festive season is upon us,
0:04:42 > 0:04:45so it's vomit bowls and stomach pumps front and centre.
0:04:45 > 0:04:47Things are going to get queasy.
0:04:47 > 0:04:51Yeah. Raf is going up to Keller today and with Serena off too, we're up against it.
0:04:51 > 0:04:53Good luck, guys.
0:04:53 > 0:04:54Brace, brace, brace!
0:04:54 > 0:04:56Grin and bear it, Fletch, grin and bear it
0:04:56 > 0:04:59or I'll make the wearing of reindeer deelyboppers mandatory.
0:04:59 > 0:05:02Oh, can we? Please, I'm feeling really festive today.
0:05:02 > 0:05:03Now, has anyone seen my iPad anywhere?
0:05:03 > 0:05:05Whose bright idea was this?
0:05:05 > 0:05:07Because the top brass know we're already stretched.
0:05:07 > 0:05:09I think there's a full-size reindeer costume in the store
0:05:09 > 0:05:12- cupboard if you want to try it on for size.- I'm just saying...
0:05:12 > 0:05:14Well, you can take it up with the man himself.
0:05:14 > 0:05:18Mr Griffin will be with us at shortly, so I'd like the ward to at least appear efficient.
0:05:18 > 0:05:19Do you get me?
0:05:19 > 0:05:21Why's Ric Griffin on the ward?
0:05:21 > 0:05:24Maybe he's come to give us a hand because Raf's deserted us.
0:05:24 > 0:05:26They're deciding on who's going to be
0:05:26 > 0:05:28Foundation Doctor Representative today.
0:05:28 > 0:05:31You think he's come to see what you've got in your locker?
0:05:31 > 0:05:33- Well, if he is, I need to be on my A game.- Yeah.
0:05:33 > 0:05:35Fletch, help a sister out?
0:05:35 > 0:05:37Brother from another mother.
0:05:38 > 0:05:42I just don't understand the plight of middle-aged men in this country.
0:05:42 > 0:05:44Sacha's really bought a full set of bike leathers?
0:05:44 > 0:05:45I guess he's being practical,
0:05:45 > 0:05:47considering he just bought himself a bike.
0:05:47 > 0:05:50- He looked like a burst couch! - All hail the fashion police!
0:05:50 > 0:05:53You've got that to look forward to, haven't you, Ollie?
0:05:53 > 0:05:55What is the Italian equivalent of a mid-life crisis?
0:05:55 > 0:05:58- We get a younger, hotter model, of course!- Is that an offer?
0:05:58 > 0:06:01There's nothing more sexy than a woman in full bloom.
0:06:01 > 0:06:04Yeah? Knew these elasticated maternity pants would do it for you.
0:06:04 > 0:06:06Do you think we could stop this little love-in
0:06:06 > 0:06:07and get some work done, please?
0:06:07 > 0:06:10Of course, lives to save and all that.
0:06:10 > 0:06:13- Are you OK, Mo?- Yeah. You know how it is, novelty's kind of worn off.
0:06:13 > 0:06:16Just want the little blighter out - now.
0:06:18 > 0:06:21- Could he get any smarmier? - Oh, I don't know.
0:06:21 > 0:06:24I can see how a girl could fall for his charms.
0:06:24 > 0:06:26Turfs up here like he owns the place.
0:06:26 > 0:06:28Since when did such arrogance become so attractive?
0:06:31 > 0:06:33You know, if I didn't know you better,
0:06:33 > 0:06:36I'd say you were a teensy weensy bit jealous of Mr Rossini.
0:06:36 > 0:06:39Don't be ridiculous! What's he got that I haven't?
0:06:39 > 0:06:42- Shall we crack on?- Yeah.- Good.- Sure.
0:06:42 > 0:06:44What have you got for me today?
0:06:44 > 0:06:47We have family in today - Alistair Maconie.
0:06:47 > 0:06:50Ah, yes, Jonny's brother. He's coming in for his elective?
0:06:50 > 0:06:51Does Jac know?
0:06:51 > 0:06:55Yes, and she hasn't even been in to say ciao yet.
0:06:55 > 0:06:58Alistair. Glad you could make it this time.
0:06:58 > 0:07:00Hey, there's my favourite blue-eyed boy.
0:07:00 > 0:07:04Tell me you're doing my op and not the coleslaw?
0:07:04 > 0:07:05Not with you?
0:07:05 > 0:07:08It's a little nickname I have for my wannabe sister-in-law.
0:07:08 > 0:07:11Good. So should we kick you off with...
0:07:11 > 0:07:13Chest X-ray, ECG with echo and angiogram?
0:07:13 > 0:07:17I know the drill, hon. Been round the block enough times.
0:07:17 > 0:07:18I'm a bank nurse.
0:07:22 > 0:07:25So sorry to leave you guys in the lurch today.
0:07:25 > 0:07:29The surgical list isn't too bad, so any problems, let me know, OK?
0:07:29 > 0:07:32Hey, good to see the cavalry's arrived.
0:07:32 > 0:07:34It'll be a nice change of pace for me, if I'm honest.
0:07:34 > 0:07:37The tests and trials of Major Wolfe's trauma teams.
0:07:37 > 0:07:39Do you hear choppers in your nightmares?
0:07:39 > 0:07:41I hear you've bagged yourself a registrar.
0:07:41 > 0:07:43You working your way up to consultant?
0:07:43 > 0:07:44I'm not that kind of girl, actually.
0:07:44 > 0:07:46Raf, I can't apologise enough.
0:07:46 > 0:07:49I've got a mountain of paperwork to finish and it's got to the point
0:07:49 > 0:07:51where Ric is actually locking the door to our office.
0:07:51 > 0:07:53All right, thank you.
0:07:55 > 0:07:59Right, get yourself acquainted with this little lot and I'll get you a coffee.
0:07:59 > 0:08:01That's good of you. Just black, please.
0:08:04 > 0:08:07And here, on the plains of the Serengeti,
0:08:07 > 0:08:10the dominant male detects a new alpha in the midst of the pack.
0:08:24 > 0:08:27Is there a reason you're using the ladies toilet?
0:08:27 > 0:08:31- Cleaner, more hygienic. Have you been in the gents?- Not recently.
0:08:31 > 0:08:35But more importantly, you're in here and we need to talk privately.
0:08:35 > 0:08:36Fine. I'm all ears.
0:08:39 > 0:08:42Don't you find fluorescent lighting puts years on a woman?
0:08:42 > 0:08:45I'm not one for conflict or holding grudges, Jac.
0:08:47 > 0:08:50Good. You're not planning a coup to usurp me then?
0:08:50 > 0:08:56I want you to know that although we may differ in our outlooks on life, I have total respect for you.
0:08:56 > 0:09:00I like this place, the staff too. They're friendly, good people.
0:09:00 > 0:09:02So you need to know I'm here to stay.
0:09:02 > 0:09:05You will have my full support. I will have your back at all times.
0:09:05 > 0:09:07Consider me your right hand.
0:09:07 > 0:09:11Thanks. But this is the only right hand I've ever needed.
0:09:16 > 0:09:19Do you think you could both give me a minute, please?
0:09:30 > 0:09:33SHE SIGHS
0:09:33 > 0:09:35We should probably decide who's top dog today.
0:09:35 > 0:09:37Oh, come on. We can bounce off each other.
0:09:37 > 0:09:40Anything too taxing, you can just page Mr Levy.
0:09:40 > 0:09:42- Shall we toss a coin? Best of three? - Seriously?
0:09:42 > 0:09:45It's important to have a chain of command.
0:09:45 > 0:09:46Hanssen's words, not mine.
0:09:46 > 0:09:49All right, if you insist. Let's settle this Zulu style!
0:09:49 > 0:09:54- Not following.- The film - Battle of Rorke's Drift.
0:09:54 > 0:09:57150-strong Welsh choir had a bit of a dust-up with 4,000 locals.
0:09:57 > 0:10:00- Ah. Musical rom-com. - It's a classic!
0:10:00 > 0:10:02Stanley Baker and Michael Caine decide who's the senior officer
0:10:02 > 0:10:04to command the up-and-coming battle
0:10:04 > 0:10:07- by the dates they were commissioned as lieutenants.- Sounds riveting(!)
0:10:07 > 0:10:11OK, I'll go first. Became a registrar February, 2009.
0:10:11 > 0:10:14January 8th, the same year.
0:10:14 > 0:10:16Guess that makes you my bitch today.
0:10:17 > 0:10:20You understand what shunt-reversal is?
0:10:20 > 0:10:23My blood circulation has effectively changed direction.
0:10:23 > 0:10:25And the consequences of that?
0:10:25 > 0:10:28You're the consultant, I'm just a lowly nurse, remember?
0:10:28 > 0:10:30Sorry. You are one of us, after all.
0:10:30 > 0:10:33Almost family. Jonny sends his love.
0:10:33 > 0:10:35Always the joker, Alistair.
0:10:35 > 0:10:40So if the shunts total, I'll need a heart/lung transplant, won't I?
0:10:40 > 0:10:41I don't think we're at that stage,
0:10:41 > 0:10:43but I'd like to run a stress echo to get a bigger picture.
0:10:43 > 0:10:46- Even if it's partial? - Then we have options.
0:10:47 > 0:10:50- Can you organise that? - Oh, yeah, sure.
0:10:51 > 0:10:52I've been here before.
0:10:52 > 0:10:55The pressure on his heart trying to reverse the shunt
0:10:55 > 0:10:57will most likely lead to ventricular failure.
0:10:57 > 0:10:58If he still has bidirectional flow,
0:10:58 > 0:11:00a fenestrated patch could ease the pressure.
0:11:00 > 0:11:02You're going to struggle to get him off bypass, in my opinion.
0:11:02 > 0:11:06Without a transplant, we're handing him a death sentence anyway.
0:11:06 > 0:11:10Could your judgment be clouded by the fact he's your baby's uncle?
0:11:10 > 0:11:12I did my homework on you.
0:11:12 > 0:11:14What happened to full support?
0:11:15 > 0:11:17Ah, Jac.
0:11:17 > 0:11:21Did I tell you that I've got a rather snazzy new coffee machine
0:11:21 > 0:11:26and I could make you an affogato creme...
0:11:26 > 0:11:29Is this how you entice all your female patients downstairs?
0:11:29 > 0:11:31I just need five minutes,
0:11:31 > 0:11:33ten minutes tops, to do a fresh ultrasound.
0:11:41 > 0:11:44Parker? What the hell's happened to you?
0:11:44 > 0:11:46Please don't start on me.
0:11:46 > 0:11:48ED said he presented with upper abdominal pain
0:11:48 > 0:11:52and bringing up blood, so they want us to investigate.
0:11:52 > 0:11:54Someone give you a kicking?
0:11:54 > 0:11:56You wouldn't believe me if I told you.
0:11:56 > 0:11:57Just sort me out, Raf.
0:11:57 > 0:11:59Does your mum know that you're here?
0:11:59 > 0:12:02She's having dialysis today. I didn't want to freak her out.
0:12:02 > 0:12:04Can we get some fluids into him, Essie?
0:12:04 > 0:12:08- FBC, clotting screen and an abdominal CT scan, please.- Sure.
0:12:09 > 0:12:11HE SIGHS
0:12:12 > 0:12:15- I still can't find my iPad. - You think someone's nicked it?
0:12:15 > 0:12:18Well, someone's going to be eating it if they have.
0:12:18 > 0:12:21Easy, tiger, it'll turn up. Just concentrate on the job in hand.
0:12:21 > 0:12:23Next up from the ED, Artem Chernik.
0:12:23 > 0:12:25He could have a vascular injury.
0:12:25 > 0:12:28Brilliant, a Serena specialism. Where is she when I need her, eh?
0:12:31 > 0:12:34I think you'll find that's hospital property, Mr Chernik!
0:12:34 > 0:12:38No need to be so formal, my angel. Please, call me Arty.
0:12:38 > 0:12:41Well, unless you're booking me a long weekend in Barcelona,
0:12:41 > 0:12:42I really need that iPad back.
0:12:42 > 0:12:44Just give me one more minute.
0:12:44 > 0:12:47In the meantime, cast your eye over this.
0:12:51 > 0:12:52If you would be so kind...
0:12:52 > 0:12:56You do realise I'm in a no-limits game against a tight rock?
0:12:56 > 0:12:58- So?- I'm under the gun,
0:12:58 > 0:13:01short-stacked with hidden trips and he may go all in!
0:13:01 > 0:13:04- How much are you sitting on?- £148.
0:13:04 > 0:13:08Damn it, he's folded! This guy's good!
0:13:08 > 0:13:10Well, when the fun stops and all that...
0:13:10 > 0:13:12I was going to give it back, you know. Ow!
0:13:12 > 0:13:15OK. So, um...several fractured fingers,
0:13:15 > 0:13:18looks like the wrist, too.
0:13:18 > 0:13:22How and when did you do this, Arty? There's an awful lot of swelling.
0:13:22 > 0:13:25Run-in with the local thuggery the other day.
0:13:25 > 0:13:27What, did they mug you, or something?
0:13:27 > 0:13:31Slipped on one of the little darling's skateboards on the stairs.
0:13:31 > 0:13:33- Backflip and a grind? - Yeah, on my face.
0:13:33 > 0:13:36Love kids, me. Couldn't eat a whole one, though.
0:13:36 > 0:13:38So, what's the verdict?
0:13:38 > 0:13:42We're going to need to do an X-ray to confirm the fractures.
0:13:42 > 0:13:45I think we're going to need a Doppler ultrasound, too.
0:13:45 > 0:13:48I'm slightly concerned about the blood flow to the hand.
0:13:48 > 0:13:51You can fix me up? This is my lucky finger.
0:13:51 > 0:13:52Hm! We'll do our best.
0:13:52 > 0:13:55Fletch, if you could finish this admission,
0:13:55 > 0:13:57and I'll get you some painkillers as well.
0:13:57 > 0:14:00- Can we also get FBC, U and Es and LFTs, please?- Yeah.
0:14:06 > 0:14:07What you worrying about?
0:14:07 > 0:14:10That's been left a long time without treatment.
0:14:10 > 0:14:14If it is a pseudoaneurysm, it could be limb-threatening.
0:14:16 > 0:14:20So I've spoken to Parker and he's ready to fess up.
0:14:20 > 0:14:21What's your secret?
0:14:21 > 0:14:24Talk to him like a normal human being.
0:14:24 > 0:14:26I've just seen Kim in the renal unit.
0:14:26 > 0:14:28Raf, he's a teenage boy,
0:14:28 > 0:14:30he's bound to get into scrapes from time to time.
0:14:30 > 0:14:32What do you suggest I do about him bunking school?
0:14:32 > 0:14:35- What, are you his dad now? - CHUCKLING
0:14:35 > 0:14:38- It's not funny!- It is funny!
0:14:38 > 0:14:41I'm sorry... No, it is quite funny. I know your pain.
0:14:41 > 0:14:43Anyway, we need to leave this lovely young lady alone
0:14:43 > 0:14:45and you need to get back to your bed.
0:14:45 > 0:14:48- I was reeling her in until you blocked me!- Oh, please!
0:14:48 > 0:14:49Sorry, what's going on?
0:14:49 > 0:14:52Spotty teenage youth was trying his luck
0:14:52 > 0:14:54with the uber blonde in bay six.
0:14:54 > 0:14:57- She was down for it, I'm telling you!- Oh, come on!
0:14:57 > 0:14:59You'll be down for it when her boyfriend gets back!
0:14:59 > 0:15:02- Aw, bless! She probably just thought it was sweet.- Hey!
0:15:02 > 0:15:04So, I hear you're ready to spill about what happened today.
0:15:04 > 0:15:07That voice? Seriously?
0:15:07 > 0:15:08Told you.
0:15:08 > 0:15:11Just...just tell me how you ended up in here, Parker.
0:15:11 > 0:15:13Promise you won't laugh.
0:15:13 > 0:15:15Won't even crack a smile.
0:15:15 > 0:15:17I can't promise the same thing.
0:15:19 > 0:15:22- The cinnamon challenge.- Ah!
0:15:22 > 0:15:25I take it you both have an idea what he's talking about?
0:15:25 > 0:15:28You have to swallow a spoonful of cinnamon.
0:15:28 > 0:15:30I mean, it's not as easy as it sounds. It's not.
0:15:30 > 0:15:31It's not as easy as it sounds.
0:15:31 > 0:15:36- The voice of experience? - Um...yeah, something like that.
0:15:36 > 0:15:40So, how does that lead to you spitting up claret?
0:15:40 > 0:15:41I was vomiting so hard, it hurt inside
0:15:41 > 0:15:44and then I started coughing up blood.
0:15:44 > 0:15:46Is the CT scan back yet?
0:15:46 > 0:15:48I'll chase that.
0:15:48 > 0:15:50Oh, er...by the way, your mum's on her way up.
0:15:50 > 0:15:53If I was you, I would get my story straight, buddy.
0:15:57 > 0:15:59How far gone are you?
0:16:00 > 0:16:02So, you didn't pull me down here to tell me you knew?
0:16:02 > 0:16:03No. No, no.
0:16:03 > 0:16:06There's no way of knowing from the ultrasound at this early stage,
0:16:06 > 0:16:08but the bloods will let us know.
0:16:08 > 0:16:13I'll run an FBC, CA125 and b-HCG on that blood.
0:16:13 > 0:16:16- Total overkill. - This is going to be cold.- Mm-hm.
0:16:19 > 0:16:20That's great.
0:16:20 > 0:16:22OK.
0:16:24 > 0:16:26- Are you in pain?- A little.
0:16:30 > 0:16:35Now, the cyst on your right ovary
0:16:35 > 0:16:38has grown considerably since your last scan.
0:16:38 > 0:16:40There's a possibility it might have torted your ovary,
0:16:40 > 0:16:43and that's what will be causing you the discomfort.
0:16:44 > 0:16:46OK. So just keep me under observation
0:16:46 > 0:16:49until I decide what to do about the pregnancy.
0:16:50 > 0:16:54Er...Jac, I've got a PhD in procrastination
0:16:54 > 0:16:57and another in paranoia. They don't mix well, believe me.
0:16:57 > 0:17:01You're not gutting me like a fish just for the sake of it.
0:17:01 > 0:17:02I have to think about the bigger picture now.
0:17:02 > 0:17:05I realise there are other things to consider,
0:17:05 > 0:17:07- but we need to deal with this quickly!- Not happening!
0:17:07 > 0:17:10Thanks for your concern, but I've got it covered.
0:17:14 > 0:17:16Three broken fingers.
0:17:16 > 0:17:18The wrist does need pinning.
0:17:18 > 0:17:20I've put in a call to Orthopaedics.
0:17:20 > 0:17:21Picture the scene.
0:17:21 > 0:17:241995, OJ Simpson had just been found not guilty
0:17:24 > 0:17:29and I was in Vegas when Vegas still looked like Vegas!
0:17:29 > 0:17:31Place was buzzing!
0:17:31 > 0:17:34I'm going to hazard a guess and say that you're a smoker.
0:17:34 > 0:17:35Treated like a king.
0:17:35 > 0:17:37Limo from the airport,
0:17:37 > 0:17:40entire suite to myself at Caesar's!
0:17:40 > 0:17:42- How much are you drinking these days?- Teetotal.
0:17:42 > 0:17:46Have been for donkey's. Need all my wits about me.
0:17:46 > 0:17:51So I slipped in the back door on a wild-card ticket.
0:17:51 > 0:17:54Can you tell me about your living situation?
0:17:54 > 0:17:58Never been anywhere like that in my life.
0:17:58 > 0:18:00Like, now, Arty.
0:18:00 > 0:18:02ARTY SIGHS
0:18:02 > 0:18:04Council flat up on Bailey Hill.
0:18:04 > 0:18:08- It's all right.- So, how are you managing? Are you eating well?
0:18:08 > 0:18:12Say an Englishman's home is his castle, mine's got its own moat.
0:18:12 > 0:18:16- Your flat's got damp? - Not going to be there forever.
0:18:16 > 0:18:19I came third, you know, World Tournament.
0:18:19 > 0:18:21You see this? My pride and joy.
0:18:21 > 0:18:26Won enough cash to live the life for a couple of years.
0:18:26 > 0:18:28Put my girl through university.
0:18:28 > 0:18:32Foreign holidays with the missus. So many good times.
0:18:32 > 0:18:35- I done it once, I can do it again. - Um...how'd you get the burn, mate?
0:18:35 > 0:18:38Ah, Morven! So this is where you're hiding.
0:18:38 > 0:18:42Ricky Griffin, you old salt dog!
0:18:42 > 0:18:44Good to see you again!
0:18:44 > 0:18:47Fish Eyes! What are you doing here?
0:18:47 > 0:18:50Tell this guy I'm the real deal.
0:18:50 > 0:18:52Don't think he believes me.
0:18:52 > 0:18:55Arty Chernick is probably the finest poker player
0:18:55 > 0:18:57who ever took money off me.
0:18:57 > 0:19:00This guy taught me everything I need to know about the game.
0:19:00 > 0:19:01Oh, tosh! What did I teach you?
0:19:01 > 0:19:03That I was no good at it, for one thing.
0:19:03 > 0:19:06You didn't listen, though, did you? Came back for more.
0:19:06 > 0:19:09Almost had me over a few times, mind.
0:19:09 > 0:19:10Yeah, sure, sure, sure(!)
0:19:10 > 0:19:12You always managed to break my nerve.
0:19:12 > 0:19:15Well, good to see you again. I'll be back.
0:19:17 > 0:19:19You see?
0:19:19 > 0:19:22Alistair would like to see you. We have his stress echo results.
0:19:22 > 0:19:26As you can see, the shunt is currently only partial.
0:19:26 > 0:19:29Is he aware there's a chance of reprieve?
0:19:29 > 0:19:31You are still seriously going to offer him this surgery
0:19:31 > 0:19:34when you know as well as I do his chances of survival are...?
0:19:34 > 0:19:35What do you want me to do?
0:19:35 > 0:19:38Give him a long, drawn-out death sentence on the transplant list?
0:19:38 > 0:19:41At least he sees another day going down the route.
0:19:46 > 0:19:49How's Emma doing? Does she remember her favourite uncle?
0:19:49 > 0:19:52- Haven't seen her in an age. - You're her only uncle.
0:19:53 > 0:19:57Look, I accept I've played a part in all this mess,
0:19:57 > 0:19:58not getting this operation sooner,
0:19:58 > 0:20:01but you don't understand the pressure I've been under at work.
0:20:01 > 0:20:03We all are, Alistair.
0:20:03 > 0:20:04Harsh, but not fair, Jac.
0:20:04 > 0:20:07You know being agency takes me all over the country.
0:20:07 > 0:20:11With that aside, you have a limited window of opportunity here
0:20:11 > 0:20:13to get your life back to normal.
0:20:13 > 0:20:16Once the shunt is fully reversed, surgery is off the table.
0:20:16 > 0:20:18Dr Blue Eyes has made me all too aware.
0:20:18 > 0:20:21You could go down the medication route, wait for a transplant.
0:20:21 > 0:20:23You really need to look at all your options.
0:20:23 > 0:20:27You could be waiting years for suitable organs to become available.
0:20:27 > 0:20:29Meanwhile, seeing a steady decline in your heart function,
0:20:29 > 0:20:32- if that's what you want... - You know, Jonny told me
0:20:32 > 0:20:36- Emma has brought you two a little bit closer these days.- Irrelevant.
0:20:38 > 0:20:40Ah! So, the Maconies are irrelevant to you?
0:20:42 > 0:20:44What you decide to do is up to you, Alistair.
0:20:44 > 0:20:46Who you are to me is of no consequence.
0:20:52 > 0:20:54- Ah!- So, where is the fugitive?
0:20:54 > 0:20:56I assume the truancy police are on their way?
0:20:56 > 0:20:58I haven't called them yet.
0:20:58 > 0:21:00The way you were talking earlier, I thought someone had died.
0:21:00 > 0:21:02Excuse me for giving a damn(!)
0:21:02 > 0:21:05Oh, come on, Raf. You never bunked off school before?
0:21:05 > 0:21:07My mother was a crack shot with a Scholl sandal,
0:21:07 > 0:21:08so no would be the answer to that.
0:21:08 > 0:21:11Parker's CT scan's in. It's nothing too concerning.
0:21:11 > 0:21:14Looks like a Mallory-Weiss tear, brought about by vomiting.
0:21:14 > 0:21:17I think the young Casanova can be discharged.
0:21:17 > 0:21:20You hear that, buster? I'm springing you!
0:21:20 > 0:21:22But what's wrong with me?
0:21:22 > 0:21:23You have a small rip in the tissue
0:21:23 > 0:21:25where your stomach joins your oesophagus.
0:21:25 > 0:21:28We'll have to put you under to perform a gastroscopy to confirm.
0:21:28 > 0:21:30That's really not necessary. It'll heal by itself.
0:21:30 > 0:21:32All the same, I'd like to take a look.
0:21:32 > 0:21:34You heard the man. Let's get your stuff.
0:21:34 > 0:21:36It's nothing invasive, it's just a small camera down his throat
0:21:36 > 0:21:38to double-check everything's all right.
0:21:38 > 0:21:41Forgive me, but I always think better safe than sorry.
0:21:41 > 0:21:45OK, Dr Kildare, do your worst, but all you're going to find there
0:21:45 > 0:21:46is burgers and fried chicken.
0:21:48 > 0:21:50I'm going to Scotty's.
0:21:50 > 0:21:53Just for a few nights. Maybe a week.
0:21:53 > 0:21:56- His mum said it was OK. - Hm. Did she now?
0:21:57 > 0:22:00She running a B&B for the great unwashed, is she?
0:22:00 > 0:22:01What's brought this on, Parker?
0:22:01 > 0:22:04Just, you know, stuff.
0:22:08 > 0:22:09Hm!
0:22:11 > 0:22:14You've got a look on your face saying, "Should have known better".
0:22:14 > 0:22:17Note to self, wear non-judgmental face more often.
0:22:19 > 0:22:22It's easy enough to bury yourself in your work. I've done it.
0:22:22 > 0:22:23Last time I was due to have my elective,
0:22:23 > 0:22:25I was an hour from my theatre slot
0:22:25 > 0:22:28when the ward rang, saying they were short-staffed.
0:22:28 > 0:22:29Well, that's a schoolboy error.
0:22:29 > 0:22:31Don't you know it's bad form to use mobiles on the ward?
0:22:33 > 0:22:35There was no sign of the shunt then, I was all good to go.
0:22:35 > 0:22:38Yet here we are. Hurrah for the NHS cost-cutters.
0:22:38 > 0:22:40With the Angel of Death as my surgeon.
0:22:40 > 0:22:41ZOSIA LAUGHS
0:22:41 > 0:22:44Yes, I heard Jac's offered you a lifeline.
0:22:44 > 0:22:46It's just a shame it's all do or die, really.
0:22:48 > 0:22:50I was hoping to land Dr Blue Eyes.
0:22:50 > 0:22:53Well, yes, he's very, very straight, I'm afraid.
0:22:54 > 0:22:56- I meant for my surgery.- Mm.
0:22:56 > 0:22:58Jac really is the best we've got, Alistair.
0:23:01 > 0:23:03What would you do if you were in my shoes?
0:23:05 > 0:23:07I would cut my toenails.
0:23:07 > 0:23:11- What?- Those are the longest things I've seen in my entire life.
0:23:11 > 0:23:14You wouldn't catch me going to surgery looking like that.
0:23:16 > 0:23:17ALISTAIR LAUGHS
0:23:17 > 0:23:19That could have gone badly wrong.
0:23:19 > 0:23:21I knew you'd have Jonny's sense of humour.
0:23:23 > 0:23:25Now, look...
0:23:26 > 0:23:29- What is it with you? - Hm? What? sorry?
0:23:29 > 0:23:33Oh, don't be coy. You clearly still like her.
0:23:33 > 0:23:35Liked, past tense.
0:23:35 > 0:23:37"I still have feelings for this woman,
0:23:37 > 0:23:40"but I'm frightened to tell her. What shall I do?
0:23:40 > 0:23:44"I know, I will have a cup of tea and watch Downton Abbey."
0:23:44 > 0:23:47- You must live in the moment!- It was a mistake, us getting together, OK?
0:23:47 > 0:23:50- Clearly not in your eyes. - Right, so, what do you suggest?
0:23:50 > 0:23:52Slap on some Luther Vandross and get busy.
0:23:52 > 0:23:54Seriously? That's your advice?
0:23:54 > 0:23:58Carpe diem! Embrace the tempestuous mistress that is love.
0:24:00 > 0:24:02- Imagine, it's Saturday afternoon. - Hm?
0:24:02 > 0:24:05- The best time for lovemaking. - Well, not in cricket season.
0:24:05 > 0:24:08She is lying, hot, breathless,
0:24:08 > 0:24:11naked, next to another man.
0:24:11 > 0:24:14He is better looking, richer, more successful than you.
0:24:14 > 0:24:16She cannot tear herself away from him.
0:24:16 > 0:24:18Good, thanks for the chat(!)
0:24:22 > 0:24:24By the way, I love Downton!
0:24:27 > 0:24:28For the record.
0:24:38 > 0:24:40What are those?
0:24:42 > 0:24:46Happy-clappy pills. Psychiatrist gave them to me.
0:24:46 > 0:24:48Only to be used in dire emergencies
0:24:48 > 0:24:51and to be washed down with organic gin, of course.
0:24:51 > 0:24:54You've done really well, Kim. I'm proud of you.
0:24:54 > 0:24:57And I heard the first 20 years of parenting are the worst.
0:24:57 > 0:25:00So only a few more to go. Yay(!)
0:25:02 > 0:25:04You sure he's going to be OK?
0:25:10 > 0:25:12- Hey.- Hey.
0:25:12 > 0:25:15- How you doing? - Well, I think someone in HR
0:25:15 > 0:25:17must be clinically insane, with these stupid questions.
0:25:17 > 0:25:20I've been doing a Health at Work questionnaire.
0:25:20 > 0:25:23Well, I've got a question for you - what are you doing eating sushi?
0:25:23 > 0:25:27Well, I reckon I need a month or 12 off the pies.
0:25:27 > 0:25:29I couldn't even get you to look at a tin of tuna!
0:25:30 > 0:25:34TEXT ALERTS
0:25:36 > 0:25:38Who's texting you like a teenager?
0:25:41 > 0:25:44Someone even Jac Naylor doesn't think I should be acquainted with.
0:25:44 > 0:25:47- Why's that? - Well, let me give you an example.
0:25:47 > 0:25:50"Oh, Sacha, I want your bleeping bleep so bleeping much."
0:25:50 > 0:25:52ESSIE CHUCKLES
0:25:52 > 0:25:54"I can't even think properly.
0:25:54 > 0:25:56"Please don't leave me hanging, babes!"
0:25:56 > 0:25:57Insert expletives appropriately.
0:25:57 > 0:26:00Wow! She sounds fabulous!
0:26:00 > 0:26:03Ma Levy is simply going to love her(!)
0:26:03 > 0:26:06Anyway, um...we were having a sweepstake on the ward about you...
0:26:06 > 0:26:09Oh, so, my virtual love life is public property now, is it?
0:26:09 > 0:26:11You are free to put yourself out there.
0:26:12 > 0:26:16The reason for the diet, I presume?
0:26:16 > 0:26:18There's nothing wrong with losing a few pounds.
0:26:18 > 0:26:20Yeah, well, some women prefer cute and cuddly.
0:26:21 > 0:26:23Do you want my sandwiches?
0:26:25 > 0:26:28- Well, you had to say that, didn't you?- Hm.
0:26:29 > 0:26:32Nasty burn, Mr Chernik. How did you do this?
0:26:32 > 0:26:35I do like my creases sharp.
0:26:35 > 0:26:37You burnt yourself on the iron?
0:26:37 > 0:26:42I'm normally quite adept, but when the iron fell off the board,
0:26:42 > 0:26:45I somehow decided to catch it.
0:26:47 > 0:26:49He's a walking disaster zone, if you listen to him.
0:26:49 > 0:26:50MESSAGE ALERT
0:26:50 > 0:26:54We've got his blood results back.
0:26:54 > 0:26:56All relatively normal.
0:26:56 > 0:26:58Liver function's good.
0:26:58 > 0:27:00So, he's not an alky, then?
0:27:00 > 0:27:03The bad news is he is going to need surgery.
0:27:03 > 0:27:06You were right to be concerned. That's a high-voltage burn.
0:27:06 > 0:27:09So, why's he fobbing us off about the iron, then?
0:27:09 > 0:27:10It's an electrical fault, maybe?
0:27:10 > 0:27:12Well, that would have tripped the fuse board, surely?
0:27:12 > 0:27:15- It's a mystery, then.- Well, he is going to need emergency surgery
0:27:15 > 0:27:18to the artery if we're going to save his hand.
0:27:18 > 0:27:20The clock's really ticking on this one.
0:27:20 > 0:27:22All the same, I want an ECG done pre-theatre,
0:27:22 > 0:27:24make sure there's no damage to the heart.
0:27:24 > 0:27:27And if he shows any signs of delirium of dizziness,
0:27:27 > 0:27:28- you let me know.- Right, I'm on it.
0:27:32 > 0:27:35What's Mr T doing here? There's no gynae cases today.
0:27:35 > 0:27:37Just you.
0:27:38 > 0:27:40I think you must be having a boy child, you know.
0:27:40 > 0:27:43- Yeah? How do you work that one out? - You look positively radiant.
0:27:43 > 0:27:46It's a well-known fact that girls drain a mother's beauty.
0:27:46 > 0:27:48- Are you saying I've still got it going on?- Of course.
0:27:50 > 0:27:51- Hi!- Hey.- You looking for someone?
0:27:51 > 0:27:53Er...yeah. Is Jac Naylor around?
0:27:53 > 0:27:58Yes. She's usually omnipresent, keeping an eye on us minions.
0:27:58 > 0:28:00I need to see her quite urgently.
0:28:00 > 0:28:02OK. Anything I can help you with?
0:28:02 > 0:28:07No. No, no, no. Just ask her to page me when she's free, please.
0:28:07 > 0:28:09Give Inga my regards.
0:28:09 > 0:28:12Ah! I sense a previous entanglement.
0:28:12 > 0:28:15What, me and Mr T? No, no. We're just good friends.
0:28:15 > 0:28:18The scent of unrequited love lies heavy on you.
0:28:18 > 0:28:22Yeah? Well, the scent of stale aftershave lies heavy on you. Ha!
0:28:25 > 0:28:27I'm starting to think I need to take an injunction out on you!
0:28:27 > 0:28:30No. Jac, listen, this really isn't going to go away.
0:28:30 > 0:28:31Nor are you, apparently.
0:28:31 > 0:28:35For once in your life, will you just please just hear someone out?!
0:28:35 > 0:28:39Why do you think that you know better than everyone else?
0:28:39 > 0:28:40That you've got some sort of God-given right
0:28:40 > 0:28:42to ride roughshod over the world?!
0:28:44 > 0:28:46I'm all ears.
0:28:46 > 0:28:50Jac, we both know that you could have cancer.
0:28:52 > 0:28:53More than aware, Mr Thompson.
0:29:02 > 0:29:04Right. Well, I think we're nearly done.
0:29:04 > 0:29:07Can you call Orthopaedics, please, and let them know
0:29:07 > 0:29:11we're almost ready for them to reset the wrist and the fingers?
0:29:11 > 0:29:13You called Arty Fish Eyes.
0:29:13 > 0:29:15Yeah. That was his circuit moniker.
0:29:15 > 0:29:17Swab, please.
0:29:19 > 0:29:21He'd sit down at the table
0:29:21 > 0:29:23and within ten minutes,
0:29:23 > 0:29:25he'd know all your weaknesses, all your strengths.
0:29:25 > 0:29:27Yet he was unreadable.
0:29:27 > 0:29:30At his best, he was unplayable.
0:29:30 > 0:29:31Just unreasonable now.
0:29:31 > 0:29:34So he wins big out in Vegas and ends up on Skid Row here.
0:29:34 > 0:29:37- What's the story behind that? - I don't know.
0:29:37 > 0:29:39We lost touch after he went to the States.
0:29:39 > 0:29:41Did you manage to get anything out of him?
0:29:41 > 0:29:44Only that he doesn't leave his dingy flat very often
0:29:44 > 0:29:46and, er...he lives a pretty frugal life.
0:29:46 > 0:29:50Which can lead to depression, anxiety and addiction issues.
0:29:50 > 0:29:52Quite so.
0:29:53 > 0:29:56Well, I think you're ready to step up, Dr Digby.
0:29:56 > 0:29:59Would you like to tie off the artery and save the hand,
0:29:59 > 0:30:02- now that the clots have been cleared?- No pressure(!)
0:30:11 > 0:30:13So he had it all and he let it slip through his fingers.
0:30:15 > 0:30:17Well, there but for fortune go you and I.
0:30:20 > 0:30:22Who knows what caused all the damage, though.
0:30:27 > 0:30:29What are you doing here?
0:30:29 > 0:30:32Oh, you know, contemplating life, the universe.
0:30:32 > 0:30:34Nah, it's just mandatory HR rubbish
0:30:34 > 0:30:36and I came here for a change of scenery.
0:30:39 > 0:30:42You don't seem your usual Xena, Warrior Princess self today.
0:30:42 > 0:30:44We're all allowed an off one, Sacha.
0:30:48 > 0:30:52So, you regard the bike leathers as a bit of faux pas, do you?
0:30:52 > 0:30:53TEXT ALERT
0:30:53 > 0:30:57I regard dating strange women who send you half-naked selfies
0:30:57 > 0:30:59when they don't even know your name
0:30:59 > 0:31:02as a catastrophic error of judgment.
0:31:04 > 0:31:06Well, I've cancelled.
0:31:06 > 0:31:09- Till when? - Oh, till hell freezes over.
0:31:09 > 0:31:11I take it she's not a happy bunny-boiler.
0:31:11 > 0:31:14Thinks I've binned her off for another woman.
0:31:14 > 0:31:16And she's threatening to come into the hospital.
0:31:16 > 0:31:19I was hoping if she did and it all kicked off,
0:31:19 > 0:31:22you might, you know, take her down, bust some moves.
0:31:29 > 0:31:31Today, I found out I'm pregnant.
0:31:33 > 0:31:36I've also been made acutely aware
0:31:36 > 0:31:39that there's a good chance I might have cancer.
0:31:41 > 0:31:45So if I'm not my usual bundle of joy today,
0:31:45 > 0:31:49then I hope now you can understand why.
0:31:53 > 0:31:55She's got me doing chores straight from school.
0:31:55 > 0:31:59Said she can't make her appointments and keep the house straight.
0:31:59 > 0:32:02She's asked you to wash a dish, or run a hoover around, has she?
0:32:02 > 0:32:05Nobody likes teenagers, Parker. Everyone knows that.
0:32:05 > 0:32:07What is it my dad used to say?
0:32:07 > 0:32:10"You're a blight on society until you're paying your bills."
0:32:10 > 0:32:12Is that why you've been bunking off school?
0:32:12 > 0:32:14I just needed to chill with my mates for a bit.
0:32:14 > 0:32:16Oh, my heart bleeds for you(!)
0:32:16 > 0:32:19You figure you won't have to lift a finger around you mate's gaff?
0:32:19 > 0:32:21Yeah. He's got a proper mum.
0:32:22 > 0:32:25Can't you just whisk her away on holiday or something?
0:32:25 > 0:32:28- And why would I do that? - Behave yourself.
0:32:28 > 0:32:31You two have been dancing around each other ever since you first met.
0:32:31 > 0:32:32You're all she talks about.
0:32:32 > 0:32:36Only reason you decided to sponsor her was so you could keep in touch.
0:32:36 > 0:32:39Yeah, Raf, get a room.
0:32:43 > 0:32:45Nothing's for certain yet.
0:32:45 > 0:32:47And you won't know until after histology.
0:32:47 > 0:32:49Then why the urgency?
0:32:49 > 0:32:52Thompson clearly didn't like the look of the cyst.
0:32:52 > 0:32:55OK, even if it's malignant, if you catch it early enough...
0:32:55 > 0:32:58I don't have time for cancer, Sacha.
0:33:00 > 0:33:02- I remember when Rachel got sick... - This better have a point.
0:33:02 > 0:33:05Just, I know exactly what you're going through.
0:33:05 > 0:33:07There's no amount of kind words or logic
0:33:07 > 0:33:09that will make a damn bit of difference to you.
0:33:11 > 0:33:14- Then shut up. - But what I will say is,
0:33:14 > 0:33:16you need to tackle this head-on.
0:33:17 > 0:33:19Is that the best you can do?
0:33:22 > 0:33:23So, when's Mr T doing his thing?
0:33:24 > 0:33:27Who says I'm having surgery? I have a baby to think about.
0:33:27 > 0:33:29TEXT ALERT
0:33:30 > 0:33:32JAC SIGHS
0:33:32 > 0:33:33Jonny's brother's on the ward.
0:33:33 > 0:33:36He's likely to die if I'm not on the ball today.
0:33:36 > 0:33:39So, you're putting his wellbeing before your own?
0:33:41 > 0:33:43Sacha, if you breathe a word of this to anyone,
0:33:43 > 0:33:45I'll personally disembowel you.
0:33:54 > 0:33:57The shunt is partial and, therefore, potentially fixable,
0:33:57 > 0:34:00but we'll have to deal with the pulmonary hypertension
0:34:00 > 0:34:02once the ASD has been dealt with.
0:34:02 > 0:34:04That's if we can get you off bypass
0:34:04 > 0:34:05and persuade your heart to play ball.
0:34:05 > 0:34:08You know, I could quite go for you if you weren't so doom and gloom.
0:34:08 > 0:34:10And if it works?
0:34:10 > 0:34:13Life goes back to relative normality, bar a few pills.
0:34:13 > 0:34:16Or I could disappear into sweet oblivion
0:34:16 > 0:34:17without making my mark on the world.
0:34:17 > 0:34:20Do you want to talk to Jonny about this?
0:34:20 > 0:34:22And have him talk me out of it?
0:34:25 > 0:34:29- How many times have you had to deal with this condition?- Twice.
0:34:31 > 0:34:33- And...?- Won one, lost one.
0:34:35 > 0:34:37Sounds to me like you've got a score to settle.
0:34:37 > 0:34:39Trust me, you're just another patient when I get you into theatre.
0:34:39 > 0:34:42Charming! Lovely bedside manner(!)
0:34:42 > 0:34:44I'll leave you two to it.
0:34:47 > 0:34:50- I think I made your henchman a little bit uncomfortable.- Good.
0:34:51 > 0:34:54You know, Jonny told me about you and him
0:34:54 > 0:34:56having a little horizontal refreshment.
0:34:56 > 0:34:58I have no idea what you're talking about.
0:34:58 > 0:35:02Believe me, it's not the sort of thing Jonny would just make up.
0:35:03 > 0:35:05It was a moment of madness, that's all.
0:35:05 > 0:35:07Promise me one thing.
0:35:07 > 0:35:09Don't ever go near my brother again.
0:35:09 > 0:35:11Why would I listen to you?
0:35:11 > 0:35:14Because together, you're toxic.
0:35:14 > 0:35:16And you want what's best for Emma.
0:35:16 > 0:35:18Are you seriously trying to give me parenting advice
0:35:18 > 0:35:20when I'm about to slice you open?
0:35:20 > 0:35:23Seems like my life is in your hands.
0:35:24 > 0:35:26Coleslaw.
0:35:33 > 0:35:35You look a little tense, Mr Valentine.
0:35:35 > 0:35:38The odds are still massively stacked against him.
0:35:38 > 0:35:40Then you better hope our queen of darkness...
0:35:40 > 0:35:43Get Alistair prepped for theatre, please, Valentine,
0:35:43 > 0:35:45and get him consented, as well. TEXT ALERT
0:35:45 > 0:35:47He knows all the risks involved?
0:35:47 > 0:35:49More than aware. Just get it done.
0:35:52 > 0:35:55Hm. Bleed's a little worse than we thought.
0:35:55 > 0:35:59There was no visible free fluid on the CT scan.
0:35:59 > 0:36:02It's very difficult to gauge from a single scan,
0:36:02 > 0:36:04but it's no biggie now we've caught it.
0:36:06 > 0:36:09Use a Sengstaken tube to put pressure on the bleed?
0:36:09 > 0:36:11That might further rupture the tear.
0:36:11 > 0:36:13Let's try some adrenaline first.
0:36:23 > 0:36:26Looks like you were right to investigate further.
0:36:26 > 0:36:28I can only apologise.
0:36:28 > 0:36:29There's no need.
0:36:29 > 0:36:31This is a team effort, yeah?
0:36:33 > 0:36:36You know, this is pretty routine stuff.
0:36:36 > 0:36:40I can take it from here, if you've got something more important to do.
0:36:40 > 0:36:42Injecting 5mls of adrenaline.
0:36:53 > 0:36:56And it's working. Bleeding is slowing.
0:36:56 > 0:36:58Have you got this covered?
0:37:00 > 0:37:02It's good to see you have so much faith in me.
0:37:11 > 0:37:13So, I'm not pregnant?
0:37:13 > 0:37:16Well, they are usually pretty accurate,
0:37:16 > 0:37:20but perhaps the cysts are producing HCG.
0:37:20 > 0:37:22You're just... You're unlucky.
0:37:23 > 0:37:26Or lucky, I suppose, it depends which way you look at it.
0:37:27 > 0:37:29And what's that meant to mean?
0:37:29 > 0:37:32Well, I assumed, you being a career girl and everything...
0:37:32 > 0:37:35You don't think I'd have made a fist of being a good mother again?
0:37:37 > 0:37:39Um...
0:37:39 > 0:37:44Jac, I really am sorry if this isn't what you wanted to hear, but...
0:37:46 > 0:37:49Good news, though, you know, we've got your blood tests back.
0:37:49 > 0:37:53They're fine, so we can really get cracking now,
0:37:53 > 0:37:57remove the cyst now that the pregnancy isn't an issue.
0:37:59 > 0:38:01Is that supposed to make me feel better?
0:38:03 > 0:38:05There's the door.
0:38:05 > 0:38:07I'll let you know when I'm ready to be sliced and diced.
0:38:07 > 0:38:10- Do you really think that's prudent, given the circumstances?- Get out.
0:38:24 > 0:38:28Blimey, when you said this was going to hurt me a lot less than you...
0:38:30 > 0:38:31Why don't you tell me about your daughter?
0:38:31 > 0:38:33Help take your mind off things.
0:38:33 > 0:38:36- How do you know about her? - Well, I'm either psychic,
0:38:36 > 0:38:38- or you put her down as your next of kin on your forms.- Hm.
0:38:38 > 0:38:41Sydney's a bit of an odd name for a girl, though, isn't it?
0:38:41 > 0:38:45Ha! Very dull tourist tour of the Sydney Opera House,
0:38:45 > 0:38:48me and the missus decided to spice things up a bit.
0:38:48 > 0:38:51FLETCH CHUCKLES She ever forgive you?
0:38:51 > 0:38:53My wife did not.
0:38:55 > 0:38:58My Sydney's an ex-nurse, like you, you know.
0:38:58 > 0:39:01- Glad to hear she's done so well for herself.- A proper career girl.
0:39:01 > 0:39:03She always knew what she wanted to do with her life.
0:39:03 > 0:39:05- Do you want me to give her a call, get her in?- No.
0:39:05 > 0:39:09She's in America. Married to John, another high-flyer.
0:39:09 > 0:39:11He's OK, for a Yank.
0:39:11 > 0:39:13And she's aware of how you're living?
0:39:15 > 0:39:17What do you mean? I do all right.
0:39:17 > 0:39:20Or that you're tapping into your next-door neighbour's electric?
0:39:20 > 0:39:23Arty, mate, you had a 240-volt belt
0:39:23 > 0:39:26and then you've woken up in this mess.
0:39:26 > 0:39:28You probably thought a packet of peas
0:39:28 > 0:39:30and a couple of paracetamol would sort this right out.
0:39:30 > 0:39:32You got no idea how lucky you are.
0:39:34 > 0:39:35I was born lucky.
0:39:37 > 0:39:39I used to be someone, you know!
0:39:39 > 0:39:41Respected all over the world!
0:39:41 > 0:39:43Well, right now, that counts for nothing.
0:39:43 > 0:39:45You really need to phone your daughter.
0:39:51 > 0:39:54I really need to know what's going on with Jac.
0:39:54 > 0:39:57I've called for help and the problem is being addressed.
0:39:57 > 0:40:00- Not if she's still swerving her surgery!- Here comes the cavalry now.
0:40:00 > 0:40:03- Please, Sacha, not a word of this to anybody.- OK.
0:40:03 > 0:40:06- You wanted to see me?- Yes. There's a rather delicate situation
0:40:06 > 0:40:09I don't feel at all qualified to deal with.
0:40:09 > 0:40:11OK, Alistair's prepped and ready for theatre.
0:40:11 > 0:40:13They're waiting for you.
0:40:13 > 0:40:15And why are The Three Stooges here?
0:40:15 > 0:40:18Maybe word is out you're about to perform a minor miracle.
0:40:18 > 0:40:19We should have sold tickets.
0:40:21 > 0:40:23JAC SIGHS
0:40:23 > 0:40:26I think, fundamentally, he's just lonely.
0:40:26 > 0:40:29Well, there's nothing on Arty's record
0:40:29 > 0:40:31to suggest he's ever sought help from social care.
0:40:31 > 0:40:33He's old school, isn't he? It'll be a pride thing.
0:40:33 > 0:40:35Probably doesn't even know it exists.
0:40:35 > 0:40:39I think we should keep him in for a couple of days, monitor his heart.
0:40:39 > 0:40:41And why's that?
0:40:41 > 0:40:44Well, symptoms from an electric shock like that
0:40:44 > 0:40:48often show up long after the event, so tell me if his vitals change.
0:40:48 > 0:40:51- Thanks, Bernie. - And keep him away from the tech.
0:40:51 > 0:40:54Oh, Arty, come on, mate!
0:40:54 > 0:40:57Two minutes. Finally got this bugger with his pants down!
0:40:57 > 0:40:59What are you doing?!
0:40:59 > 0:41:00- Trying to make a living.- Come on.
0:41:00 > 0:41:04Come on, you need your rest. Get back into bed now, Arty.
0:41:04 > 0:41:05Oh! Fletch!
0:41:08 > 0:41:10Call him.
0:41:13 > 0:41:15- I know he's bluffing.- In!
0:41:36 > 0:41:38You still disapprove?
0:41:38 > 0:41:39You offered, he accepted.
0:41:39 > 0:41:42Still, have to admire Alistair's decision to proceed.
0:41:42 > 0:41:44Kill or cure. Big.
0:41:46 > 0:41:49You think you'd have made the same choice if you were in his position?
0:41:49 > 0:41:53I guess none of us really know how we would react until we're there.
0:41:53 > 0:41:57I'd like a word with Ms Naylor alone, please, Matteo.
0:41:57 > 0:41:59- We have a patient waiting. - This won't take long.
0:42:07 > 0:42:09I've had certain information which tells me
0:42:09 > 0:42:11that you're not fit to take out an appendix,
0:42:11 > 0:42:14let alone attempt a procedure of this magnitude.
0:42:14 > 0:42:17This is my department, I won't be dictated to.
0:42:17 > 0:42:20- OK, out, now! - No, it's fine. It'll pass.
0:42:22 > 0:42:27- Argh! - This conversation is now academic.
0:42:29 > 0:42:31JAC WINCES
0:42:34 > 0:42:36Good call. Let's get that gurney here now!
0:42:36 > 0:42:38Order cross-match and a litre of Hartmann's.
0:42:38 > 0:42:40- Get her down to Gynae, please! - I'd better scrub in.- Argh!
0:42:42 > 0:42:44- What's wrong?- None of your business! - What about Alistair?
0:42:44 > 0:42:47You've got to step up, Matteo. Go!
0:42:47 > 0:42:49Rossini, not a word to anyone.
0:42:49 > 0:42:51You will save my ovaries!
0:42:51 > 0:42:53Let's focus on saving your life first, shall we?
0:43:01 > 0:43:03Let's get her under quickly, please.
0:43:05 > 0:43:06You're going in laparoscopically?
0:43:06 > 0:43:08We're going to what we're going to do.
0:43:08 > 0:43:10Have you checked my platelets and clotting?
0:43:10 > 0:43:14Jac, I really don't think this is the time for a surgical masterclass.
0:43:18 > 0:43:19Jac?
0:43:19 > 0:43:21Is she...?
0:43:21 > 0:43:22It is official.
0:43:22 > 0:43:25Jac Naylor is the most difficult patient I've ever had.
0:43:25 > 0:43:28Let's find out what's going on down there, shall we?
0:43:32 > 0:43:34Throat's still a bit sore.
0:43:34 > 0:43:35Ask for the good meds!
0:43:36 > 0:43:40I've prescribed you some high dose proton inhibitors, Parker.
0:43:40 > 0:43:43You will need to rest up to give the tear time to heal itself,
0:43:43 > 0:43:46but there's no reason why you can't go home in the next few hours.
0:43:46 > 0:43:49I wonder who first thought eating cinnamon was a good idea.
0:43:49 > 0:43:51Have you never done anything completely stupid?
0:43:51 > 0:43:53Nothing that required a hospital visit.
0:43:53 > 0:43:55Oh, no, I tell a lie.
0:43:55 > 0:43:58There was that time during the match that I told the pub nutter to chill out.
0:43:58 > 0:44:01Hey, even nutters need love sometimes. Don't we, Parkie?
0:44:01 > 0:44:02I'm not the one who's a nutter!
0:44:02 > 0:44:04He loves me really.
0:44:04 > 0:44:07So you should if you want to stay at Scotty's.
0:44:07 > 0:44:08Are you serious?
0:44:08 > 0:44:10Gets you out from under my feet for a little while.
0:44:10 > 0:44:11It's a no-brainer, really.
0:44:14 > 0:44:15She is losing a lot of blood.
0:44:20 > 0:44:23Can you keep squeezing in the packed cells, please?
0:44:23 > 0:44:25So what are we looking at?
0:44:27 > 0:44:29Well, take a look for yourself.
0:44:31 > 0:44:32That is a GS problem now.
0:44:36 > 0:44:39Can someone tape her eyes down, please?
0:44:44 > 0:44:47CLASSICAL MUSIC PLAYS
0:44:57 > 0:44:59Shall we crack on?
0:45:00 > 0:45:04Nothing like a bit of Handel to focus the senses, don't you think?
0:45:06 > 0:45:09Go on! What are you waiting for?
0:45:14 > 0:45:17Why did you ask for me to assist you rather than Ms Effanga?
0:45:17 > 0:45:18She's all-knowing.
0:45:18 > 0:45:22You, on the other hand, have a long journey in front of you.
0:45:22 > 0:45:26- I figured you'd appreciate the experience.- Hm.
0:45:26 > 0:45:28Sternum saw, please.
0:45:29 > 0:45:31SAWING
0:45:33 > 0:45:36You're going to set fire to your fingers at this rate!
0:45:36 > 0:45:39I'm just messaging Scotty to tell his mum I'm getting out of hospital soon.
0:45:39 > 0:45:41Please don't put him up to the cinnamon challenge.
0:45:41 > 0:45:43He's the one that challenged me!
0:45:43 > 0:45:45The blonde in bay six just asked for your number.
0:45:45 > 0:45:47Really?!
0:45:47 > 0:45:48No!
0:45:48 > 0:45:51No. Here's your stuff.
0:45:51 > 0:45:55- She was down for it, I'm telling you!- Mm-hm. Sure!
0:45:56 > 0:46:00Do you think it's of order... me leaving my mum for a while?
0:46:00 > 0:46:02Not for a short time, no.
0:46:02 > 0:46:04She proper needs the break, more than I do.
0:46:04 > 0:46:06You're going back to school, though?
0:46:06 > 0:46:10When Scotty's mum found out we were cutting classes, she went mental.
0:46:10 > 0:46:13When mine found out, she gave me a pat on the back.
0:46:20 > 0:46:22I've managed to control the bleed for now,
0:46:22 > 0:46:26but her right ovary is adherent to the bowel.
0:46:26 > 0:46:29I think you should excise the ovary with the cyst
0:46:29 > 0:46:31and let me resect the ileum.
0:46:31 > 0:46:33If you manage to separate the bowel, I believe I can save the ovary.
0:46:33 > 0:46:36But if you're not careful, you'll risk an enterotomy.
0:46:36 > 0:46:39Well, if we hit a wall, then we go with your plan B
0:46:39 > 0:46:41and suffer her wrath.
0:46:45 > 0:46:49Ooh, lucky you. Get out of here. I'm on a double.
0:46:49 > 0:46:52You do know Chernik's checked himself out of hotel Holby, don't you?
0:46:52 > 0:46:55You're kidding me? We've still got to monitor his heart.
0:46:55 > 0:46:56Mm-hm. Discharged himself.
0:46:56 > 0:47:00Apparently, three square meals and a warm bed for didn't quite appeal.
0:47:00 > 0:47:03Oh, and I did ring the number on the file for his daughter.
0:47:03 > 0:47:05You know, just to let her know what was going on.
0:47:05 > 0:47:09- Had a funny suspicion he wouldn't let her know that something was wrong.- What did she say?
0:47:09 > 0:47:14Couldn't get through. Number unobtainable. Weird. Anyway...
0:47:14 > 0:47:15Morven?
0:47:15 > 0:47:23Before you go, Mr Griffin did want to tell you himself, but he's in emergency surgery, so...
0:47:23 > 0:47:25Congratulations.
0:47:25 > 0:47:28You are officially this hospital's Foundation Doctor Representative.
0:47:28 > 0:47:31Yes! Yes!
0:47:31 > 0:47:32Oh, I won't let you down!
0:47:32 > 0:47:34- Fletch, have you heard the good news?- Er...no.
0:47:34 > 0:47:36He better not try and poach you from us.
0:47:36 > 0:47:39You are a vital part of this team and don't you forget it.
0:47:39 > 0:47:42I'm AAU. I've got it written right through me.
0:47:42 > 0:47:44Yes!
0:47:45 > 0:47:50Right, the cross clamp is off. Ready to come off bypass...
0:47:50 > 0:47:52very slowly now.
0:47:53 > 0:47:56More 5-0 prolene, please.
0:47:56 > 0:47:58So, was it love at first sight?
0:47:58 > 0:48:00Hm? Sorry?
0:48:00 > 0:48:01You and...
0:48:01 > 0:48:06Miss X, did you make each other's souls spontaneously combust with passion?
0:48:06 > 0:48:11Well, it was a bit more of a slow burn, if you must know.
0:48:11 > 0:48:13Was she the one who finished it?
0:48:15 > 0:48:17I fail to see what business that is of yours?
0:48:17 > 0:48:19Let me put it another way.
0:48:19 > 0:48:22How would you feel if you saw her with another man?
0:48:23 > 0:48:27Well, she's a free agent - she can do what she wants.
0:48:27 > 0:48:30In that case, would it make you mad if I asked her out on a date?
0:48:30 > 0:48:33She's been through the mill a lot recently.
0:48:33 > 0:48:36I really feel a bit of space would do her good.
0:48:36 > 0:48:40I'll give you until Christmas Eve, otherwise it's open season.
0:48:40 > 0:48:43BEEPING
0:48:43 > 0:48:47Hang on. The heart's distending.
0:48:47 > 0:48:50It's struggling to deal with the new circulation configuration.
0:48:50 > 0:48:52Back on bypass, quickly, please!
0:48:52 > 0:48:53So what now?
0:48:53 > 0:48:58Allow the ventilator a bit of time to do its work and hope his heart gets with the programme.
0:48:58 > 0:48:59We go again.
0:49:00 > 0:49:02SIREN WAILS
0:49:06 > 0:49:08- There you are, Arty.- Ah!
0:49:08 > 0:49:10- Do you want some help with that?- Ah!
0:49:10 > 0:49:13Did you talk to your daughter?
0:49:13 > 0:49:17Yeah, she wants me to go stateside for Christmas.
0:49:18 > 0:49:21Maybe take in a bit of Vegas whilst you're there?
0:49:21 > 0:49:22That's a damn good idea.
0:49:22 > 0:49:26Probably changed out of sight since I was last there!
0:49:26 > 0:49:28What number did you call her on, mate?
0:49:30 > 0:49:32Back on bypass, please.
0:49:32 > 0:49:34Third attempt, he's not going to go back into sinus.
0:49:34 > 0:49:37Can you stop being so negative and come up with some solutions?
0:49:37 > 0:49:41OK... Well, we remove the patch,
0:49:41 > 0:49:44we try and restart the heart by keeping the shunt in situ.
0:49:44 > 0:49:48Not an option. The shunt will almost certainly become fully reversed.
0:49:49 > 0:49:52Well, I'm out of ideas - what choice do we have?
0:49:52 > 0:49:54Do we have any Sildenafil?
0:49:57 > 0:49:59Hey, Parker, you OK?
0:49:59 > 0:50:02Yeah, just waiting for my ride.
0:50:02 > 0:50:04Scotty's mum's picking you up?
0:50:04 > 0:50:06I won't bother her. I'll take the bus.
0:50:07 > 0:50:11Do you want to tell me what the real deal here is?
0:50:15 > 0:50:19His dad's decided that as I ended up in hospital today,
0:50:19 > 0:50:22maybe it's best if we spent some time apart.
0:50:22 > 0:50:24They've bailed on you?
0:50:25 > 0:50:27Have you got anywhere else to go?
0:50:27 > 0:50:30That uber babe been discharged yet?
0:50:31 > 0:50:34There she goes, if you fancy your chances.
0:50:41 > 0:50:42Come on.
0:50:43 > 0:50:45I can't go back to Mum's.
0:50:46 > 0:50:48One night probationary period.
0:50:48 > 0:50:51You mean...I can come home with you?
0:50:51 > 0:50:56No girls, boys, or booze or even cinnamon, for that matter.
0:50:56 > 0:51:00You follow these rules and we'll get along fine.
0:51:00 > 0:51:03Are you serious? You've got Wi-Fi, right?
0:51:03 > 0:51:04Superfast broadband.
0:51:04 > 0:51:06I'll need my PlayStation, obviously.
0:51:08 > 0:51:11Well, you clear it with Kim and you're on.
0:51:14 > 0:51:16You got reckless in the States?
0:51:16 > 0:51:20Had a glamorous lifestyle to keep up, or so I thought.
0:51:20 > 0:51:21What's that mean?
0:51:22 > 0:51:26My wife left me, said I'd become obsessed,
0:51:26 > 0:51:28that I wasn't the normal, working-class bloke I used to be.
0:51:28 > 0:51:30The money changed you?
0:51:30 > 0:51:35Didn't have any left by then. Good-looking woman, my Shirley.
0:51:35 > 0:51:40She didn't run off with anyone, didn't gold-dig.
0:51:40 > 0:51:43She just went back to her folks in Dorset.
0:51:43 > 0:51:45Craved the simple life.
0:51:45 > 0:51:47What about your daughter?
0:51:47 > 0:51:51I last saw her ten years ago at her mum's funeral.
0:51:53 > 0:51:58She had a right go at me for letting her and Shirley down.
0:51:58 > 0:52:00She blames you, then?
0:52:00 > 0:52:05I blamed myself. Scarpered straight after the vol-au-vents.
0:52:07 > 0:52:08Hm.
0:52:08 > 0:52:11My last bastion of technology.
0:52:11 > 0:52:14I charge it up whenever I can since they cut off the power at the flat.
0:52:14 > 0:52:17You should be under observation for at least a couple of days.
0:52:17 > 0:52:19I believe so.
0:52:19 > 0:52:22Not going to happen, though, is it?
0:52:22 > 0:52:24You know that money you won for me?
0:52:24 > 0:52:27It's going to keep me going for a week or so.
0:52:29 > 0:52:30I like to pay my way.
0:52:32 > 0:52:35How did you know he was bluffing?
0:52:35 > 0:52:39I didn't. Ran out of chips, hadn't I?
0:52:39 > 0:52:41Had no choice but to call him.
0:52:41 > 0:52:43See you around, Fletch.
0:52:44 > 0:52:46Say goodbye to Ricky for me.
0:52:50 > 0:52:53Scotty's mum doesn't know what she's set herself up for.
0:52:53 > 0:52:55What do you mean?
0:52:55 > 0:52:58Whole-wheat cereals are the devil's work, according to Parker.
0:52:58 > 0:53:00That and brown bread.
0:53:00 > 0:53:03Although if you smother it in Nutella, he'll love you forever!
0:53:03 > 0:53:05I'm actually with him on that one!
0:53:05 > 0:53:10So is it party central round your gaff while the cat's away?
0:53:10 > 0:53:11Oh, too right!
0:53:11 > 0:53:15There's a cup of Horlicks waiting for me at home with my name on it.
0:53:15 > 0:53:16Crazy me, you know!
0:53:18 > 0:53:22Well, you know where I am if you need anything.
0:53:22 > 0:53:26I think you've done enough, thank you, Raf.
0:53:26 > 0:53:28You're a good friend.
0:53:43 > 0:53:45You've never seen it before?
0:53:45 > 0:53:48A few times. It still freaks me out.
0:53:48 > 0:53:51Like staring into the face of Medusa.
0:53:51 > 0:53:53I heard that!
0:53:53 > 0:53:54It lives!
0:53:56 > 0:53:58Well?
0:53:58 > 0:54:01We managed to remove the cyst and saved the ovary,
0:54:01 > 0:54:04thanks to Mr Griffin here and my own sleight of hand.
0:54:04 > 0:54:05What do you want, a medal?
0:54:05 > 0:54:08I think a simple thank you wouldn't be out of place.
0:54:08 > 0:54:13If it hadn't been for Mr T's persistence, you might not even be here.
0:54:13 > 0:54:16Thank you. Any sign of malignancy?
0:54:16 > 0:54:20Biopsies with histology. And so the jury's out, but on first glance...
0:54:20 > 0:54:23What happened with Alistair?
0:54:23 > 0:54:26Fenulating the ASD patch didn't prove to be enough, I'm afraid.
0:54:26 > 0:54:29But after giving Alistair a Sildenafil infusion,
0:54:29 > 0:54:32we managed to wean him slowly off bypass.
0:54:32 > 0:54:35His heart is already correcting the shunt.
0:54:35 > 0:54:37You gave Emma's uncle Viagra?
0:54:37 > 0:54:40It expanded the vessels in his heart,
0:54:40 > 0:54:42allowed for easier blood flow.
0:54:42 > 0:54:45We'll need to keep him on it for a few days, I would imagine.
0:54:45 > 0:54:48I think Alistair would sooner have died than let me have that bit of information.
0:54:48 > 0:54:50Thanks, Rossini.
0:54:50 > 0:54:51Got a visitor for you.
0:54:51 > 0:54:52Hey!
0:54:54 > 0:54:57Lift you up. One, two, three.
0:54:57 > 0:54:59Can I have a cuddle?
0:55:02 > 0:55:03We'll leave you to it.
0:55:06 > 0:55:08Your date's back on, then?
0:55:08 > 0:55:09Why would you say that?
0:55:09 > 0:55:12Doesn't Uncle Sacha smell lovely?
0:55:14 > 0:55:17So, tell me, is that little girl giving you any more problems at nursery?
0:55:17 > 0:55:19No.
0:55:19 > 0:55:22No? You're a Naylor, we can always practise our death stare.
0:55:22 > 0:55:25No? We'll settle for cuddles?
