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?
