0:00:02 > 0:00:04- Ric. Ric!- I need them to see you finish. We both do.

0:00:04 > 0:00:06I'm arresting you on suspicion of assault.

0:00:06 > 0:00:08This is a huge mistake.

0:00:08 > 0:00:10I don't know how to do this.

0:00:10 > 0:00:12I don't know where to start.

0:00:12 > 0:00:14SHE SOBS

0:00:15 > 0:00:16You start with us.

0:00:16 > 0:00:19You can take away flowers and candles,

0:00:19 > 0:00:21but nobody can take away a legacy.

0:00:21 > 0:00:23You'd better get away from me, Danny.

0:00:24 > 0:00:28Today, Ms Naylor, I will be playing the part of your surgeon.

0:01:07 > 0:01:09SIREN WAILS

0:01:33 > 0:01:35SHE TAKES A DEEP BREATH

0:01:53 > 0:01:55SHE EXHALES

0:02:09 > 0:02:11- Hey.- Hey.

0:02:12 > 0:02:15So, how are you doing today?

0:02:15 > 0:02:21Better, I thought, until I got this.

0:02:26 > 0:02:28It's Raf's inheritance.

0:02:28 > 0:02:33I don't know when he had time to write the will,

0:02:33 > 0:02:36but he's left me the lion's share.

0:02:36 > 0:02:37So, how much are we talking?

0:02:37 > 0:02:39A lot.

0:02:39 > 0:02:42He's left some for his family, and some for Fletch's kids, but...

0:02:42 > 0:02:45SHE SIGHS

0:02:45 > 0:02:46..I wasn't expecting this.

0:02:48 > 0:02:49He's here.

0:02:51 > 0:02:53Did the notes come through from the prison infirmary?

0:02:53 > 0:02:54- Yeah...- Good.

0:02:54 > 0:02:56..but you want to see the state of him.

0:03:00 > 0:03:01Are you OK?

0:03:01 > 0:03:03Yeah. I'll catch up with you later.

0:03:03 > 0:03:04OK.

0:03:19 > 0:03:22Aren't you supposed to be on light duties between your physio sessions?

0:03:22 > 0:03:24I'm done limping around, being patronised

0:03:24 > 0:03:27by semi-competent agency nurses.

0:03:27 > 0:03:31Glad to see your effervescent charm has survived intact.

0:03:32 > 0:03:33Irony.

0:03:33 > 0:03:37Morning, Ms Naylor. Good to see you on your feet.

0:03:37 > 0:03:39Easing yourself back in gently, are we?

0:03:39 > 0:03:41By no means. I have a full list planned.

0:03:41 > 0:03:43As of today, it's back to business.

0:03:43 > 0:03:44Two CABGs and a mini-maze?

0:03:44 > 0:03:46Hardly throwing yourself back in at the deep end.

0:03:46 > 0:03:49Still, best to take it slow, eh?

0:03:49 > 0:03:51Are you here for a reason, or just to check up on me?

0:03:51 > 0:03:53Actually, I'm expecting a transfer patient from

0:03:53 > 0:03:56the Royal Centre for Defence Medicine at QEH, Birmingham.

0:03:56 > 0:03:57Why wasn't I informed?

0:03:57 > 0:03:59Maybe you missed the e-mail.

0:03:59 > 0:04:00It's a neurocardio case,

0:04:00 > 0:04:02so I'll need a ring-fenced theatre slot on Darwin.

0:04:02 > 0:04:04Of course, if you're not up to it...

0:04:04 > 0:04:07Let's skip over the whole reverse psychology routine

0:04:07 > 0:04:09and just cut to the part where I take over, yeah?

0:04:09 > 0:04:10I was hoping you'd say that.

0:04:10 > 0:04:13Ciara Hobbes. Aortic pseudoaneurysm and dural AV fistula.

0:04:13 > 0:04:15Give us a shout when she arrives.

0:04:30 > 0:04:32This is Danny Fincher, 37.

0:04:32 > 0:04:37He's sustained serious blunt force trauma to the abdomen and chest.

0:04:37 > 0:04:41This is Sacha Levy. He's going to be taking care of you today.

0:04:41 > 0:04:42Hi.

0:04:42 > 0:04:44I'd shake your hand, but...

0:04:44 > 0:04:48Come on, Danny. You know the rules.

0:04:48 > 0:04:51So, I understand that you were taken into the prison infirmary

0:04:51 > 0:04:52late last night.

0:04:52 > 0:04:53Can you tell me what happened?

0:04:53 > 0:04:56I walked into a door, fell down the stairs...

0:04:56 > 0:04:57Whatever ticks the box, right?

0:04:57 > 0:05:00So, according to your notes,

0:05:00 > 0:05:02the prison doctor suspected additional internal injuries,

0:05:02 > 0:05:05so I doubt very much whether that would have happened by accident.

0:05:05 > 0:05:09On the bright side, it was below the neck and above the belt.

0:05:09 > 0:05:11Good luck getting any more out of him than that.

0:05:11 > 0:05:12Fine.

0:05:12 > 0:05:15So, let's do full bloods, order a CT scan, and take it from there.

0:05:15 > 0:05:16Shall we?

0:05:18 > 0:05:22- Mr Levy, right?- Yes?

0:05:23 > 0:05:24Thanks.

0:05:28 > 0:05:30HMP Holby is where they're keeping Ric.

0:05:30 > 0:05:33Do you think he's all right in there?

0:05:33 > 0:05:35Listen, Ric can look after himself.

0:05:45 > 0:05:47DOOR SLAMS

0:05:47 > 0:05:49SHE EXHALES

0:05:57 > 0:05:59Can I help you?

0:05:59 > 0:06:00I'm just waiting for someone.

0:06:00 > 0:06:02Visiting hours don't start until 4.00.

0:06:02 > 0:06:04I think there's been some miscommunication.

0:06:04 > 0:06:07Evidently. Security will escort you out.

0:06:07 > 0:06:10- Is there a problem? - This woman was just leaving.

0:06:12 > 0:06:14This woman is Arianne Cornell.

0:06:15 > 0:06:18You must be Jac Naylor.

0:06:18 > 0:06:22I believe we have a mutual associate - Connie Beauchamp.

0:06:22 > 0:06:26She calls you the Ozymandias of cardiothoracics.

0:06:26 > 0:06:29Well, coming from Connie, that is a compliment.

0:06:29 > 0:06:31"Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair!"

0:06:31 > 0:06:33Sorry for the confusion - a clerical error.

0:06:33 > 0:06:35I see you two have met.

0:06:35 > 0:06:36After a fashion.

0:06:36 > 0:06:38This is Professor Arianne Cornell,

0:06:38 > 0:06:42director of interventional heart valve surgery at St Eugene's, London.

0:06:42 > 0:06:45So you got Connie under the knife. How's she doing?

0:06:45 > 0:06:47Back to her viperine self, more or less.

0:06:47 > 0:06:51I'm just here to tie up a few loose ends before her transfer here.

0:06:51 > 0:06:54I thought the Professor might like to sit in on our duet,

0:06:54 > 0:06:56and see how we operate outside the M25.

0:06:56 > 0:06:57How delightful.

0:06:57 > 0:07:00- ARIANNE LAUGHS - You see that look?

0:07:00 > 0:07:04That is exactly the look I'd have if some metropolitan fly-by-night

0:07:04 > 0:07:07waltzed into my ward without so much as a by-your-leave.

0:07:07 > 0:07:10Don't worry. I'm not going to get my hands dirty.

0:07:10 > 0:07:12I'm strictly an observer.

0:07:12 > 0:07:14That won't be a problem for you, will it, Jac?

0:07:14 > 0:07:16No.

0:07:21 > 0:07:23We need to take Mr Fincher down for a CT scan now,

0:07:23 > 0:07:25so if you wouldn't mind?

0:07:25 > 0:07:28Where he goes, I go, I'm afraid.

0:07:28 > 0:07:29Be that as it may, I can't very well have you

0:07:29 > 0:07:31topping and tailing in the scanner,

0:07:31 > 0:07:33so it would be a big help for everyone.

0:07:33 > 0:07:34Come on, Butler.

0:07:34 > 0:07:36I'm hardly in any shape to make a run for it.

0:07:36 > 0:07:37What do you say?

0:07:42 > 0:07:45- HE SIGHS - Thank you.

0:07:45 > 0:07:47Don't say I didn't warn you.

0:07:54 > 0:07:56Right, thanks, Steve. Erm...

0:07:56 > 0:07:58That's it.

0:07:58 > 0:08:00Wait. That's it. There you go.

0:08:00 > 0:08:02WHISPERING: Ric Griffin says hello, by the way.

0:08:02 > 0:08:05- I'm sorry? - Time and a place, if you get me?

0:08:07 > 0:08:09HE GROANS

0:08:12 > 0:08:15HE EXHALES

0:08:15 > 0:08:18May I introduce Staff Sergeant Ciara Hobbes?

0:08:18 > 0:08:21This is Ms Naylor, one of our finest CT surgeons.

0:08:21 > 0:08:22Army or Navy?

0:08:22 > 0:08:24Army. Bomb disposal.

0:08:24 > 0:08:26Ciara was injured in action late last year.

0:08:26 > 0:08:28It was an IED. I took a blast of shrapnel right in the back,

0:08:28 > 0:08:30but it's not as bad as it sounds.

0:08:30 > 0:08:34QEH identified an enlarging dural AV fistula, putting pressure

0:08:34 > 0:08:38on the spine via blood flow from a traumatic aortic pseudoaneurysm.

0:08:38 > 0:08:40Which is just a complicated way of keeping me out of action

0:08:40 > 0:08:41for the next few months.

0:08:41 > 0:08:44I'll be performing an interventional radiology procedure.

0:08:44 > 0:08:47I'll inject glue directly into the shunt-zone,

0:08:47 > 0:08:49in order to prevent further growth and/or bleeding,

0:08:49 > 0:08:52- while Ms Naylor ministers to your heart.- I've reviewed your notes,

0:08:52 > 0:08:55and I'd recommend a frozen elephant trunk operation.

0:08:55 > 0:08:56Just call me Nelly!

0:08:56 > 0:08:58- HE CHUCKLES - It's not what it sounds like.

0:08:58 > 0:09:00Essentially I would put a graft in your aorta to stop any leakage.

0:09:00 > 0:09:02Best-case scenario, we could have you

0:09:02 > 0:09:04back on your feet in a few months.

0:09:04 > 0:09:06The sooner the better. My squadron deploys in March,

0:09:06 > 0:09:08and I intend to be right there with them.

0:09:08 > 0:09:11That might be a little optimistic.

0:09:11 > 0:09:13If it's a speedy recovery you're after,

0:09:13 > 0:09:15you might want to consider other options.

0:09:15 > 0:09:19- Like what?- Don't mind Professor Cornell. She's just visiting.

0:09:20 > 0:09:22Your patient, of course.

0:09:25 > 0:09:29There's a lot more damage to the liver and spleen than I expected.

0:09:29 > 0:09:31Does Danny have a history of violence?

0:09:31 > 0:09:34I wouldn't say that exactly, but it gets pretty tough in there

0:09:34 > 0:09:38if you don't know how to handle yourself.

0:09:38 > 0:09:40It's not long now, Danny, OK?

0:09:40 > 0:09:41OK.

0:09:41 > 0:09:44Anything you can tell me about his background would be a big help.

0:09:44 > 0:09:47Danny's a bit of a lag - he can't stay out five minutes

0:09:47 > 0:09:50before he gets himself banged up again.

0:09:50 > 0:09:54He's a decent enough sort, but it's his mouth that lands him in trouble.

0:09:54 > 0:09:57Forgive me, but isn't it your job to protect him?

0:09:57 > 0:10:00We do what we can, but people like Danny...

0:10:00 > 0:10:02He's a rabble-rouser.

0:10:02 > 0:10:04He tends to rub the wrong people up the wrong way.

0:10:04 > 0:10:06So, you're saying he's the instigator?

0:10:06 > 0:10:08Well, it's hard to say who starts these things.

0:10:08 > 0:10:11Just don't let the class clown routine fool you.

0:10:13 > 0:10:14I see.

0:10:15 > 0:10:17Let's get him out of there.

0:10:17 > 0:10:19I'd best take it from here.

0:10:19 > 0:10:22Uh, no, sorry, medics only in the scanner room.

0:10:22 > 0:10:24It's radiation and such. Hospital policy.

0:10:26 > 0:10:28Thank you.

0:10:34 > 0:10:36INAUDIBLE

0:10:41 > 0:10:44- WHISPERING:- Whatever you've got to say to me, now's your chance.

0:10:44 > 0:10:47Ric. He gave me a few names. It's Sacha, isn't it? Sacha Levy?

0:10:47 > 0:10:48What has he told you?

0:10:48 > 0:10:50He said you're due to visit him later today, right?

0:10:50 > 0:10:53- THROUGH SPEAKER: He said you should come alone.- Did he say why?

0:10:53 > 0:10:55That was the message.

0:10:55 > 0:10:57I'm lucky to even be here talking with you.

0:10:57 > 0:10:59Normally they don't let us out of the infirmary

0:10:59 > 0:11:02unless we're dying, but it all kicked off again last night.

0:11:02 > 0:11:04How do I know I can trust you?

0:11:04 > 0:11:06I guess you don't, but if you want to help your mate,

0:11:06 > 0:11:07you can start by doing as he asks.

0:11:07 > 0:11:10MACHINE WHIRS

0:11:12 > 0:11:14If you patched the aorta instead of putting in a graft,

0:11:14 > 0:11:16you wouldn't have to put the patient on bypass.

0:11:16 > 0:11:19It would significantly reduce the recovery time.

0:11:19 > 0:11:21But there's a chance it might not hold

0:11:21 > 0:11:23and her blood pressure is already a risk factor.

0:11:23 > 0:11:26Well, I'd recommend having a CT scan to get a closer look

0:11:26 > 0:11:27at the pseudoaneurysm first,

0:11:27 > 0:11:30but, I mean, it's at least worth considering.

0:11:30 > 0:11:33Well, I appreciate your input, but she's still my patient.

0:11:33 > 0:11:36If it's too far out of your comfort zone...

0:11:36 > 0:11:37Seriously?

0:11:37 > 0:11:39Good. That's settled.

0:11:39 > 0:11:41I'm overdue downstairs, but I'll see you in theatre.

0:11:41 > 0:11:45I trust you'll extend every courtesy to Professor Cornell until then.

0:11:45 > 0:11:48So, what brings you all the way to Holby?

0:11:49 > 0:11:51Connie's itching to be transferred home,

0:11:51 > 0:11:53so I thought I'd check the facilities

0:11:53 > 0:11:56and make sure you're adequately prepared.

0:11:56 > 0:11:57Surely that's Oncology.

0:11:57 > 0:12:00This is one of the leading cardiothoracic centres

0:12:00 > 0:12:02in the country. These, too, please. Thank you.

0:12:02 > 0:12:07I don't doubt it, but the personal touch never did any harm.

0:12:09 > 0:12:12Well, I will book that scan for Sergeant Hobbes

0:12:12 > 0:12:15and I'll consider the patch, but let me be clear about one thing -

0:12:15 > 0:12:18I'm leading this operation.

0:12:18 > 0:12:19My ward, my rules.

0:12:20 > 0:12:21As it should be.

0:12:25 > 0:12:27A bit "stethoscopes at dawn", isn't it?

0:12:27 > 0:12:28I can handle it.

0:12:28 > 0:12:30- Are you sure? - Yeah, I'm fine.

0:12:38 > 0:12:40SHE GRUNTS

0:12:42 > 0:12:44SHE EXHALES

0:12:52 > 0:12:55- LIFT CHIMES - Doors opening...

0:12:55 > 0:12:57If it's that bad, what do you think Ric is having to deal with?

0:12:57 > 0:12:59Well, I'm sure he's keeping his head down.

0:12:59 > 0:13:03What if someone's using him as a punchbag, or worse?

0:13:03 > 0:13:05You can't think like that.

0:13:05 > 0:13:08I mean, it's Ric - he'll be keeping out of trouble.

0:13:08 > 0:13:10I guess we'll find out this afternoon, right?

0:13:10 > 0:13:12Are you still on for 12.30?

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

0:13:13 > 0:13:14Yeah, OK.

0:13:22 > 0:13:23Now, let me guess -

0:13:23 > 0:13:26I need to give up smoking and get more exercise.

0:13:26 > 0:13:28That's always pretty good advice,

0:13:28 > 0:13:31but I'm afraid it's something more pressing.

0:13:31 > 0:13:35HE COUGHS You're telling me.

0:13:35 > 0:13:37Is there any chance you could up the meds?

0:13:37 > 0:13:38Are you in a great deal of pain?

0:13:38 > 0:13:40Agony, Mr Levy.

0:13:40 > 0:13:43- Well, I've already given you 100 milligrams of morphine...- Oh.

0:13:43 > 0:13:46..but I'm more concerned by the extent of your internal injuries,

0:13:46 > 0:13:49so I want to do a laparotomy, OK,

0:13:49 > 0:13:51just to find out what we're dealing with.

0:13:51 > 0:13:53What's all this?

0:13:53 > 0:13:54I'm sorry?

0:13:54 > 0:13:57I sent everyone one an e-mail with strict instructions.

0:13:57 > 0:13:58Yeah, yeah, I read it.

0:13:58 > 0:14:01OK, well, security presence, good, but why isn't he in handcuffs?

0:14:01 > 0:14:03Don't worry, he never leaves my sight.

0:14:03 > 0:14:05I think we've got it covered cos I don't think he's going anywhere.

0:14:05 > 0:14:08He's a convicted criminal. Give him an inch, he'll take a mile.

0:14:08 > 0:14:10Don't mind me. No offence taken.

0:14:10 > 0:14:12Don't bother with the charm offensive.

0:14:12 > 0:14:13Fletch, can I have a word?

0:14:15 > 0:14:17- WHISPERING:- He says he knows Ric.

0:14:17 > 0:14:20Look, I don't care if he's on first-name terms with the Pope,

0:14:20 > 0:14:22the cuffs stay on.

0:14:27 > 0:14:29HE GROANS

0:14:32 > 0:14:34How long have you served?

0:14:34 > 0:14:38- KEYPAD BEEPS - Coming up for 12 years.

0:14:38 > 0:14:39You must be glad to be back.

0:14:39 > 0:14:40Are you kidding?

0:14:40 > 0:14:43Out there, riding fire with the best of them, that's home.

0:14:43 > 0:14:45Ain't nothing and nobody for me here.

0:14:45 > 0:14:47No-one's going to sit by my bed

0:14:47 > 0:14:49and tell me everything's going to be OK.

0:14:49 > 0:14:52Right, let's get on with this, shall we?

0:14:52 > 0:14:53CIARA GASPS

0:14:53 > 0:14:55- Can I help you?- I'm fine.

0:14:58 > 0:14:59Please, let me help you.

0:15:02 > 0:15:04SHE EXHALES

0:15:05 > 0:15:06Thanks.

0:15:10 > 0:15:12Jac...

0:15:12 > 0:15:13Don't start.

0:15:15 > 0:15:18I'm telling you, he knows something.

0:15:18 > 0:15:20What if Ric's in some kind of trouble?

0:15:20 > 0:15:22He'll say anything. You know what they're like.

0:15:22 > 0:15:24What, he's a criminal so you can't trust a word he says?

0:15:24 > 0:15:26I can't imagine why he would lie.

0:15:26 > 0:15:28So tell Donna the truth, then.

0:15:28 > 0:15:30What, that a battered con says she's not welcome?

0:15:30 > 0:15:32I can't say that to her.

0:15:34 > 0:15:37All right, I'll be bad cop if you want.

0:15:37 > 0:15:41I'll tell her that she's needed here and she's got to work through.

0:15:41 > 0:15:42Thank you.

0:15:43 > 0:15:46- I just hope he's on the level... - DANNY SPLUTTERS

0:15:46 > 0:15:49- ..and this isn't an excuse to stare at nurses all day long.- Mr Levy!

0:15:49 > 0:15:50That's disgusting, Danny!

0:15:52 > 0:15:54- It just came out of nowhere. - I'm guessing this isn't a good sign.

0:15:54 > 0:15:57- We'll have to get him into theatre. - I'll enlist an anaesthetist.

0:15:57 > 0:16:00If you insist on joining us, you'll have to scrub in.

0:16:00 > 0:16:02Right, having reviewed your results, I would still recommend

0:16:02 > 0:16:05the frozen elephant trunk procedure as your best option.

0:16:05 > 0:16:06But there's another.

0:16:06 > 0:16:08Not one I'd recommend.

0:16:08 > 0:16:10But that other doctor said...

0:16:10 > 0:16:13We could do a thoracotomy and stitch on an aortic patch,

0:16:13 > 0:16:16but if the patch fails, then you're at risk of paralysis.

0:16:16 > 0:16:18But there's a quicker recovery time -

0:16:18 > 0:16:20it means I could be in action sooner?

0:16:20 > 0:16:22Yes, as little as six weeks.

0:16:22 > 0:16:23Six weeks?

0:16:23 > 0:16:26Take some time to think it over.

0:16:26 > 0:16:29It is your decision, but please don't make it lightly.

0:16:33 > 0:16:35I don't know which one of you has more to prove.

0:16:35 > 0:16:36Excuse me?

0:16:36 > 0:16:40Well, you've just had multiple surgeries after a traumatic injury.

0:16:40 > 0:16:43Oh, God, really? I'd totally forgotten about that.

0:16:43 > 0:16:46I saw what happened in the scan room. I can step in.

0:16:46 > 0:16:48Let me stop you right there.

0:16:48 > 0:16:50I'm only going to say this once more - I am fine.

0:16:50 > 0:16:52I do not need a babysitter,

0:16:52 > 0:16:55and I certainly don't need to be patronised someone like you.

0:16:55 > 0:16:57Imagine my surprise.

0:16:57 > 0:17:00If you can't get on board with this, then take over the CABGs.

0:17:00 > 0:17:01You won't be missed.

0:17:20 > 0:17:23- ESSIE:- Well, there must be some mistake.

0:17:23 > 0:17:25Are you absolutely certain?

0:17:27 > 0:17:29Yeah, yeah...

0:17:29 > 0:17:31Well, no, I will. I will. Thank you.

0:17:33 > 0:17:35SHE SIGHS

0:17:41 > 0:17:43Sounds like somebody's giving you a hard time.

0:17:43 > 0:17:45My husband's will.

0:17:45 > 0:17:48It hit me out of nowhere when it arrived in the post this morning.

0:17:48 > 0:17:49Sorry, I wasn't thinking.

0:17:49 > 0:17:51I thought everything was sorted after the funeral,

0:17:51 > 0:17:52but obviously not.

0:17:52 > 0:17:55Well, at least you know you've got some security.

0:17:55 > 0:17:56That's something, right?

0:17:56 > 0:17:59We'd barely just settled down.

0:17:59 > 0:18:01I didn't think I'd have to be dealing with stuff like this

0:18:01 > 0:18:05until we were well into our old age.

0:18:05 > 0:18:08Why don't I put the kettle on? Call it elevenses?

0:18:08 > 0:18:11No, I'm fine, thanks. Honestly.

0:18:12 > 0:18:14Forgive me - I couldn't help overhearing.

0:18:14 > 0:18:16Is Raf's estate giving you trouble?

0:18:16 > 0:18:18No, I suppose it's something we should've discussed

0:18:18 > 0:18:21one rainy afternoon, but I just wasn't prepared for it.

0:18:21 > 0:18:24It's never easy, is it? Could I be of any help?

0:18:24 > 0:18:26No, it's just something I've got to process, that's all.

0:18:26 > 0:18:28No rush.

0:18:28 > 0:18:31- Could you please book Mr Kurzweil in for an MRI?- Yeah, of course.

0:18:31 > 0:18:34- I have to deal with this, but I'll join you soon.- OK.

0:18:34 > 0:18:36Hi, Mr Kurzweil.

0:18:36 > 0:18:39Is it my eyes, or are the nurses around here getting prettier?

0:18:39 > 0:18:41- SHE CHUCKLES - Well, that depends.

0:18:41 > 0:18:44Have you been admitted with blurred vision?

0:18:44 > 0:18:45Yeah, a few times,

0:18:45 > 0:18:48but it's much worse than that now, I'm afraid.

0:18:48 > 0:18:50- Oh?- I'm dying.

0:18:51 > 0:18:54- I'm sorry? - Oh, there's no two ways about it.

0:18:54 > 0:18:55I've checked all the symptoms.

0:18:55 > 0:18:58Why don't we wait and see what your MRI results are before

0:18:58 > 0:19:02- you jump to con...?- There's no need for your delicate bedside manner.

0:19:02 > 0:19:04No, I'm all squared away.

0:19:04 > 0:19:08Now, this old body can go to the knacker's yard for all I care,

0:19:08 > 0:19:10as long as the brain goes on.

0:19:10 > 0:19:11And how would we do that?

0:19:11 > 0:19:13Well, I'm glad you've asked.

0:19:13 > 0:19:17You see, I'm gonnae live forever.

0:19:49 > 0:19:51I'm going to have to remove it.

0:19:51 > 0:19:53Scissors, please. Thanks, Lisa.

0:19:56 > 0:20:00- Did you know about this agency nurse that didn't turn up?- Sorry?

0:20:00 > 0:20:02Well, Fletch said they let him down,

0:20:02 > 0:20:04so I have to work the afternoon shift.

0:20:04 > 0:20:06Oh, that's a shame.

0:20:23 > 0:20:24Apparently not.

0:20:24 > 0:20:26What about Lofty?

0:20:26 > 0:20:27He's on leave, I think.

0:20:30 > 0:20:33What is Ric going to think when I don't show up?

0:20:33 > 0:20:35I'll explain it to him, you know?

0:20:35 > 0:20:37Don't worry about it.

0:20:37 > 0:20:38Yeah, I'm sure he'll understand.

0:20:42 > 0:20:43I suppose.

0:20:45 > 0:20:48You will send him my love, though, won't you?

0:20:50 > 0:20:51Of course.

0:21:03 > 0:21:05I just thought I'd drop in and see how you were doing.

0:21:05 > 0:21:08You don't have to keep checking up on me every five minutes.

0:21:08 > 0:21:10You've been through a lot, and there's no shame in it

0:21:10 > 0:21:12if you need to offload a bit of stuff onto Frieda.

0:21:12 > 0:21:14Yeah, that's really going to happen.

0:21:14 > 0:21:16Slow and steady wins the race, that's all I'm saying.

0:21:19 > 0:21:21Emma's birthday?

0:21:21 > 0:21:23Yes, last Sunday. Johnny had her over the weekend,

0:21:23 > 0:21:27and we've agreed he should step down from the extra dad duties now,

0:21:27 > 0:21:29- so he's bringing her home tonight. - Yeah, that'll be nice.

0:21:35 > 0:21:37Do you want me to write it?

0:21:37 > 0:21:39Because that wouldn't be weird at all.

0:21:39 > 0:21:40Jac...

0:21:44 > 0:21:46So, back to being a full-time mum.

0:21:46 > 0:21:48Bath and bed.

0:21:49 > 0:21:51Are you good with all that?

0:21:52 > 0:21:58OK, well, if you need anything, you know where I am.

0:21:59 > 0:22:01DOOR CLOSES

0:22:06 > 0:22:08Thank you.

0:22:08 > 0:22:11So, Mr Kurzweil, we have got your scan results,

0:22:11 > 0:22:12I know what you're going to say.

0:22:12 > 0:22:14We found an irregular mass sitting between

0:22:14 > 0:22:16the two hemispheres of the brain.

0:22:16 > 0:22:18Well, don't tell me. It's inoperable.

0:22:18 > 0:22:20Well, that's not exactly clear at present.

0:22:20 > 0:22:23However, there are a number of options.

0:22:23 > 0:22:26Don't waste your breath, Prof. Don't give me the long faces.

0:22:26 > 0:22:28I told you, I'm prepared.

0:22:28 > 0:22:32Mr Kurzweil, you understand we're not necessarily talking about

0:22:32 > 0:22:33a terminal condition?

0:22:33 > 0:22:36You see, you're still thinking two-dimensionally, my dear.

0:22:36 > 0:22:39You know, flesh and blood is transitory,

0:22:39 > 0:22:43but consciousness, the true essence of what makes us who we are,

0:22:43 > 0:22:47well, that is only as limited as our ability to store it.

0:22:47 > 0:22:49Hang on, are we talking digital immortality?

0:22:49 > 0:22:51Exactly! Yes!

0:22:51 > 0:22:54You see, I've been investing heavily in a company out in Silicon Valley,

0:22:54 > 0:22:57and they are on the verge of a breakthrough in neural mapping.

0:22:57 > 0:23:00- Sounds like science fiction to me. - No, no, no, no, no ,no.

0:23:00 > 0:23:03- The Hanover Institute of Digital Medical Research.- Yes.

0:23:03 > 0:23:05They're making great strides,

0:23:05 > 0:23:07building digital reconstructions of rodent brains.

0:23:07 > 0:23:11- Yes!- Well, the human phase can't be far behind, can it?

0:23:11 > 0:23:13Are you seriously planning on uploading your brainwaves

0:23:13 > 0:23:15onto a computer?

0:23:15 > 0:23:18Ah, well, there is a wee bit more to it than that, but yes.

0:23:18 > 0:23:20I mean, I just have to put my affairs in order

0:23:20 > 0:23:22and then get my grey matter out there to California.

0:23:22 > 0:23:24I know this is a lot for you to process,

0:23:24 > 0:23:27so if there's anyone we can call for you? A partner, children?

0:23:27 > 0:23:29My stockbroker.

0:23:29 > 0:23:33Now, I need to sink every last penny into this digital immortality

0:23:33 > 0:23:34while I've still got the time.

0:23:34 > 0:23:37Well, I wish you luck, Mr Kurzweil.

0:23:37 > 0:23:40Don't forget to drop us a line from the other side.

0:23:40 > 0:23:43MR KURZWEIL LAUGHS You'd better believe it.

0:23:43 > 0:23:45You're seriously not going along with this?

0:23:45 > 0:23:47I'm indulging it, at least until we find we out

0:23:47 > 0:23:48what kind of mass we're dealing with.

0:23:48 > 0:23:51He's probably being conned out of his life savings

0:23:51 > 0:23:52by some pie-in-the-sky tech start-up.

0:23:52 > 0:23:56Seems rather well informed to me. Wouldn't you want to live forever?

0:23:58 > 0:24:01I'm guessing I can't have these on the operating table.

0:24:01 > 0:24:04Will you hold on to them for me, please?

0:24:04 > 0:24:05Of course.

0:24:09 > 0:24:11You're sure you understand all the risks?

0:24:11 > 0:24:13If it means I can join up with the squadron in time,

0:24:13 > 0:24:15it's what I have to do.

0:24:15 > 0:24:19I'm sure they won't miss you for a few more months.

0:24:19 > 0:24:21I can't sit it out on the sidelines -

0:24:21 > 0:24:24not when everyone's sacrificed so much.

0:24:24 > 0:24:25You lost someone.

0:24:26 > 0:24:28Cuthbert.

0:24:28 > 0:24:29Mike.

0:24:32 > 0:24:36Guys called him Pinocchio - obvious reasons if you saw him.

0:24:37 > 0:24:39He would have turned 30 this year.

0:24:41 > 0:24:44I came home in a wheelchair... and he came home in a box.

0:24:47 > 0:24:48I'm sorry.

0:24:48 > 0:24:49I owe him...

0:24:49 > 0:24:51..big time.

0:24:54 > 0:24:57I admire your commitment, but you don't have to rush

0:24:57 > 0:24:59back into action to honour his memory.

0:24:59 > 0:25:00It's where I belong.

0:25:00 > 0:25:03I'm just saying, a few months out of the firing line

0:25:03 > 0:25:04might not be such a bad thing.

0:25:06 > 0:25:08I saw what happened here on the news.

0:25:08 > 0:25:12You think you're safe behind the lines,

0:25:12 > 0:25:14but there's really no such thing.

0:25:17 > 0:25:20I'm sorry, I shouldn't have brought it up.

0:25:22 > 0:25:24A porter will be along shortly.

0:26:48 > 0:26:50- SACHA:- So, why the cloak-and-dagger routine?

0:26:50 > 0:26:53I don't want her to see me like this.

0:26:55 > 0:26:57And with good reason, by the looks of it.

0:27:00 > 0:27:01How's Danny?

0:27:03 > 0:27:05Danny Fincher?

0:27:07 > 0:27:09Is that what's on your mind?

0:27:15 > 0:27:16He's...

0:27:16 > 0:27:18He's in a bad way.

0:27:18 > 0:27:20We had to perform a splenectomy,

0:27:20 > 0:27:23but it went as well as could be expected.

0:27:26 > 0:27:27How do you know him?

0:27:29 > 0:27:30You don't need to know the details.

0:27:30 > 0:27:35I just need you to keep him at Holby for as long as you can.

0:27:37 > 0:27:38OK. All right.

0:27:40 > 0:27:41What do you want me to do?

0:27:41 > 0:27:45Make whatever excuse you need to - just keep him out of here.

0:27:45 > 0:27:47Did you get into a fight with him? Is that it?

0:27:47 > 0:27:50- Is that why you look like you look? - Lower your voice.

0:27:58 > 0:27:59If that man is threatening you...

0:27:59 > 0:28:01No, it's not like that.

0:28:01 > 0:28:03No, I'm fine.

0:28:04 > 0:28:07Look, if you're in danger, you have to say something.

0:28:07 > 0:28:09- RIC SCOFFS - It's not so simple.

0:28:12 > 0:28:18The important thing is to keep Darla and Kofi away from all this.

0:28:18 > 0:28:20So you don't want to see them?

0:28:20 > 0:28:21Of course...

0:28:26 > 0:28:28Of course I do,

0:28:28 > 0:28:31but this is for their own safety.

0:28:33 > 0:28:36If this place is that dangerous, you have to speak out.

0:28:36 > 0:28:39No. No, it'd just make things worse.

0:28:42 > 0:28:43Don't be a martyr.

0:29:15 > 0:29:17Does that answer your question?

0:29:17 > 0:29:18Never doubted you for a second.

0:29:18 > 0:29:20OK, let's fire up this glue gun.

0:29:20 > 0:29:23I think you can take it from here.

0:29:23 > 0:29:24What if I need you?

0:29:24 > 0:29:26I'm sure Ms Petrenko can cope.

0:29:26 > 0:29:29Besides, it's starting to feel a little overcrowded in here.

0:29:54 > 0:29:56How's Ric?

0:29:56 > 0:29:58He's...

0:29:58 > 0:30:00He's fine, more or less.

0:30:00 > 0:30:02More or less?

0:30:02 > 0:30:05It's just hard seeing him in a place like that, that's all.

0:30:05 > 0:30:08- SHE SIGHS - I knew I should have gone.

0:30:08 > 0:30:10No, no, no. No, he said not to worry.

0:30:10 > 0:30:12You know, he's only in there a bit longer,

0:30:12 > 0:30:15so I'm sure he can stick it out for a few more weeks.

0:30:15 > 0:30:19Let's hope so. I dread to think what he's going through in there.

0:30:19 > 0:30:21The sooner he gets out, the better, eh?

0:30:21 > 0:30:22Yeah.

0:30:27 > 0:30:32Sats are normal, BP is holding steady at 110 over 70.

0:30:32 > 0:30:35Not a bad job.

0:30:35 > 0:30:37All in a day's work.

0:30:37 > 0:30:39It turns out my services weren't required after all.

0:30:39 > 0:30:42Well, I don't know. I'd say you served your purpose.

0:30:42 > 0:30:43How flattering.

0:30:43 > 0:30:47I trust you're satisfied Mrs Beauchamp will be in good hands

0:30:47 > 0:30:49when she returns?

0:30:49 > 0:30:50Satisfied.

0:30:54 > 0:30:57Where did Ms Naylor run off to so quickly, anyway?

0:30:57 > 0:30:58Oh, I have no idea.

0:32:06 > 0:32:09We're going to monitor you for a little while to make sure

0:32:09 > 0:32:12you don't develop any infections and that your gut starts to work.

0:32:14 > 0:32:18Nice comfy hospital bed beats a prison bunk any day.

0:32:18 > 0:32:20Maybe that was the plan all along.

0:32:20 > 0:32:22What? You think I took a kicking

0:32:22 > 0:32:24just so I could put my feet up in here?

0:32:24 > 0:32:27You've been watching too much Porridge, Sacha.

0:32:30 > 0:32:32Can I have a word with Mr Fincher in private, please?

0:32:32 > 0:32:35I thought we went through all this, this morning.

0:32:35 > 0:32:37Yes, well, it's a matter of doctor-patient confidentiality,

0:32:37 > 0:32:40so if you wouldn't mind waiting just outside?

0:32:41 > 0:32:44Give me a shout if you need me.

0:32:53 > 0:32:56I think it's time you told me exactly what's going on with Ric.

0:32:56 > 0:32:59With Ric? He did let you see him, right?

0:32:59 > 0:33:01Yeah. Yeah, I saw him.

0:33:01 > 0:33:04He could barely walk, and his lip's been stitched...

0:33:04 > 0:33:07What? You think I did that to him?!

0:33:07 > 0:33:11Clearly, he's terrified of someone, and if it's not you...!

0:33:11 > 0:33:14If it's not you, then it's someone you know.

0:33:17 > 0:33:19HE EXHALES Nobody likes a grass.

0:33:47 > 0:33:48Where are you?

0:33:50 > 0:33:52What happened?

0:33:52 > 0:33:53Don't be moronic.

0:33:59 > 0:34:02- Ow! - We need to get you into the theatre.

0:34:02 > 0:34:04No. You can do it yourself, here.

0:34:04 > 0:34:06You're in no position to be giving orders.

0:34:06 > 0:34:08Actually, I am.

0:34:12 > 0:34:15I swear, this winter vomiting bug has been sent to try me.

0:34:17 > 0:34:19- January blues? - And then some.

0:34:21 > 0:34:24If I won the lottery, I would burn these scrubs

0:34:24 > 0:34:27and jet off to the Seychelles until spring.

0:34:29 > 0:34:32I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to say that.

0:34:32 > 0:34:35- I know. - Honestly, I was just joking around.

0:34:35 > 0:34:37Inheritance money...

0:34:37 > 0:34:40I mean, that's a whole different thing.

0:34:40 > 0:34:43You think I should blow the money on holidays and jewellery.

0:34:43 > 0:34:46No way. You should do something that would make him proud.

0:34:47 > 0:34:50I just wish I knew what that was.

0:34:50 > 0:34:52You'll think of something.

0:34:53 > 0:34:56- Thank you, Meena. - MACHINE CHIMES

0:34:58 > 0:34:59Mr Kurzweil?

0:34:59 > 0:35:02- Is he epileptic? - Not in his history.

0:35:02 > 0:35:04Mr Kurzweil? Are you OK?

0:35:05 > 0:35:08Yes and no.

0:35:08 > 0:35:10Mostly no.

0:35:10 > 0:35:12You've just had a seizure.

0:35:12 > 0:35:15Have you had any epileptic episodes before?

0:35:18 > 0:35:19I really think I haven't, no.

0:35:19 > 0:35:21- I'll find Professor Gaskell. - Thank you.

0:35:23 > 0:35:25HE GROANS

0:35:25 > 0:35:29I hope...I hope this doesn't slow things down.

0:35:29 > 0:35:30I should...

0:35:30 > 0:35:34- Hey.- I should be putting a call in to the techies in California by now.

0:35:34 > 0:35:35No, no, come on, Mr Kurzweil.

0:35:35 > 0:35:37Are you sure your time wouldn't be better spent

0:35:37 > 0:35:39talking this through with your family?

0:35:39 > 0:35:40There must be someone.

0:35:40 > 0:35:42No.

0:35:43 > 0:35:48Not unless you count an ex-wife who ran off with her nutritionist...

0:35:49 > 0:35:50..and I never have.

0:35:52 > 0:35:54OK. I'll be back in a minute, OK?

0:35:54 > 0:35:57Gemma, can you come and look after him? Thanks.

0:35:57 > 0:35:59John, can you take another look at Mr Kurzweil?

0:35:59 > 0:36:02He's just had a seizure.

0:36:02 > 0:36:05Well, that would be consistent with an infiltrative brain tumour.

0:36:05 > 0:36:08Perhaps we should be preparing him for some more bad news.

0:36:08 > 0:36:10Yeah, I'm concerned we've missed something

0:36:10 > 0:36:13cos he said he's never experienced anything like that before.

0:36:13 > 0:36:15All right, why don't you and Dr Chowdhury get him

0:36:15 > 0:36:18prepped for a lumbar puncture and send CSF for OCBs?

0:36:18 > 0:36:20I'll be back to supervise.

0:36:20 > 0:36:22- Where are you going? - I have an idea.

0:36:22 > 0:36:24DOOR CLANGS

0:36:24 > 0:36:27Almost forgot what it was like to go to the bathroom in private,

0:36:27 > 0:36:29- relatively speaking. - Don't get used to it.

0:36:31 > 0:36:34Sorry, can I have a...can I have a quick word before you go back in?

0:36:38 > 0:36:42There's a prisoner on remand. He's a friend of mine.

0:36:43 > 0:36:47Between you and me, I'm worried that he might be getting some hassle.

0:36:47 > 0:36:48This friend have a name?

0:36:51 > 0:36:56Ric. Eric Griffin.

0:36:56 > 0:36:58Doesn't ring a bell.

0:36:58 > 0:37:00Maybe you could, you know, look him up when you get back,

0:37:00 > 0:37:02and keep an eye out for him?

0:37:02 > 0:37:05- It's a busy place. - Yeah, I appreciate that, but...

0:37:09 > 0:37:13..I'm concerned that he's got caught up in something serious.

0:37:13 > 0:37:14How so?

0:37:16 > 0:37:19Him and Danny seem to share very similar injuries.

0:37:19 > 0:37:21Did Danny say something to you?

0:37:21 > 0:37:23No, no, no. No.

0:37:23 > 0:37:25Clearly he's afraid to speak out.

0:37:25 > 0:37:27Same goes for your friend, I take it?

0:37:28 > 0:37:30I can't just stand by and do nothing.

0:37:32 > 0:37:35I'll try and check in on him when I get back -

0:37:35 > 0:37:38steer him out of trouble wherever I can.

0:37:39 > 0:37:41Thank you.

0:37:41 > 0:37:43Thank you. That's a huge relief.

0:37:51 > 0:37:53CIARA WHEEZES

0:37:56 > 0:37:59- Can I get a crash team in here, please?! - BUZZER

0:37:59 > 0:38:01Right, her BP's low and she's tachycardic.

0:38:01 > 0:38:04I need to get her into surgery straight away.

0:38:04 > 0:38:06Quick as we can. OK?

0:38:06 > 0:38:08How are we doing? Are we good?

0:38:08 > 0:38:10Yeah? All right, let's go.

0:38:10 > 0:38:11Carefully...

0:38:13 > 0:38:16Where's Jac and Frieda?

0:38:16 > 0:38:19Well, maybe next time you're actually going to listen

0:38:19 > 0:38:23when everybody's telling you to take it easy.

0:38:23 > 0:38:26You know, your bedside manner really leaves a lot to be desired.

0:38:26 > 0:38:27Look who's talking.

0:38:27 > 0:38:29- DOOR OPENS - Jac...

0:38:29 > 0:38:30What the hell happened?

0:38:30 > 0:38:33- It's a long story. What do you need? - Shall I go and get Gaskell?

0:38:33 > 0:38:34Fletch! What do you need?

0:38:34 > 0:38:37It's Ciara. She's arrested. They're taking her to theatre.

0:38:37 > 0:38:39- What do you think you're doing? - My patient needs me.

0:38:39 > 0:38:42- Forget it, Professor Cornell can cover it.- Oh, get out of my way.

0:38:42 > 0:38:44HE SIGHS

0:38:44 > 0:38:46This is an evoked potential test.

0:38:46 > 0:38:48I'm loving it already.

0:38:48 > 0:38:51I'm going to monitor your responses to various physical, visual

0:38:51 > 0:38:54and auditory stimuli, which should give us a much better idea

0:38:54 > 0:38:56of what's going on.

0:38:56 > 0:38:58I feel like a mad scientist!

0:38:58 > 0:39:02Right, try to relax and listen to the tones.

0:39:05 > 0:39:08And now for our feature presentation.

0:39:08 > 0:39:10Boys and their toys.

0:39:10 > 0:39:12The only reason I became a doctor.

0:39:12 > 0:39:15So, is this part of your big research project?

0:39:15 > 0:39:18No, no, that concerns intrathecal stem cell therapy -

0:39:18 > 0:39:19much more cutting-edge.

0:39:19 > 0:39:20Oh, pardon me.

0:39:20 > 0:39:22- What?!- Uh, no, it's...

0:39:22 > 0:39:25It's not for you, Mr Kurzweil. Carry on.

0:39:25 > 0:39:27It may all come to naught, alas.

0:39:27 > 0:39:28Why's that?

0:39:28 > 0:39:32It's funding gaps, mainly.

0:39:32 > 0:39:35Every time you find a new backer, they want to mould it

0:39:35 > 0:39:37in their own image and it all falls apart.

0:39:37 > 0:39:40- All is vanity. - All of humanity, eh?!

0:39:40 > 0:39:42Ah, no, no... Don't worry about it, Mr Kurzweil.

0:39:42 > 0:39:45- You're going to have to speak louder!- OK.

0:39:45 > 0:39:49You never did answer my question earlier - digital immortality.

0:39:49 > 0:39:50Would you want to live forever?

0:39:50 > 0:39:54No, not as a string of ones and zeroes up in the cloud.

0:39:54 > 0:39:57Yeah, I know it sounds mad when you say it,

0:39:57 > 0:40:00but isn't there something seductive about

0:40:00 > 0:40:03living beyond our physical bodies?

0:40:03 > 0:40:06No, I think I'd rather be remembered for how I lived,

0:40:06 > 0:40:08not for trying to cheat death.

0:40:08 > 0:40:09We should all be so lucky.

0:40:09 > 0:40:12Can you get Kylie Minogue on these, eh?!

0:40:21 > 0:40:23HE SCREAMS

0:40:23 > 0:40:26- What happened?- He jumped me. He tried to rip his tubes out.

0:40:26 > 0:40:28- OK, Danny, try and keep still. - BP's dropping.

0:40:28 > 0:40:31His epidural's come out. He could be bleeding internally.

0:40:31 > 0:40:33Right, check his haemoglobin, blood gases

0:40:33 > 0:40:34- and get 5mg of morphine.- OK.

0:40:34 > 0:40:36- DANNY WHIMPERS - It's all right. It's all right.

0:40:36 > 0:40:40That's it. That's it. Nice and easy. Nice and easy.

0:40:52 > 0:40:54and she's hypovolemic.

0:40:54 > 0:40:56What are you doing in here?

0:40:56 > 0:40:58It was an emergency. I was available.

0:40:58 > 0:41:00Well, I'm here now.

0:41:00 > 0:41:02She's in and out of VF.

0:41:02 > 0:41:04This is my patient, so if you wouldn't mind...?

0:41:04 > 0:41:08Are you sure that's wise? You don't look well.

0:41:08 > 0:41:10I assure you, I'm entirely capable.

0:41:10 > 0:41:13I hope that's the truth.

0:41:13 > 0:41:14Step aside.

0:41:14 > 0:41:16MACHINE BEEPS

0:41:18 > 0:41:21Let's get a cannula into her femoral artery and get her on bypass.

0:41:21 > 0:41:24Let's also cool her as quickly as possible so I can do

0:41:24 > 0:41:27the frozen elephant trunk I should have done in the first place.

0:41:30 > 0:41:32That should help with the pain.

0:41:33 > 0:41:35Can you tell me what happened?

0:41:39 > 0:41:41Accident...

0:41:41 > 0:41:43My fault...

0:41:45 > 0:41:47Can I have the room, please?

0:41:47 > 0:41:48- I shouldn't...- Right, no lectures!

0:41:48 > 0:41:51Anyone who isn't medical staff, I need out of this room.

0:41:54 > 0:41:57Sorry. Thank you. Thank you.

0:42:07 > 0:42:09This tube hasn't fallen out -

0:42:09 > 0:42:11it's been snapped,

0:42:11 > 0:42:14which wouldn't happen without considerable force.

0:42:19 > 0:42:21Did he do this to you?

0:42:22 > 0:42:23Butler?

0:42:25 > 0:42:27He's the monkey, not the organ grinder.

0:42:29 > 0:42:31But he's involved in some way?

0:42:44 > 0:42:45You can't say anything.

0:42:48 > 0:42:50It'll only come back on us twice as hard.

0:42:50 > 0:42:53I asked him to keep an eye on Ric.

0:42:53 > 0:42:55Oh...

0:42:55 > 0:42:57I told him he was in danger.

0:43:00 > 0:43:02This is quite the reversal of fortunes.

0:43:02 > 0:43:04Well, he mentioned the blurred vision this morning, but I just

0:43:04 > 0:43:08put it down to another symptom of the tumour until he started seizing.

0:43:08 > 0:43:11Excellent spot. Are you sure you're not a neurologist in disguise?

0:43:11 > 0:43:13Mr Kurzweil, Good news.

0:43:13 > 0:43:15You've got California on the phone?

0:43:15 > 0:43:16Better than that.

0:43:16 > 0:43:18It turns out your tumour is nothing of the sort.

0:43:18 > 0:43:21Sorry, I don't understand.

0:43:21 > 0:43:23The source of your neurological symptoms is from

0:43:23 > 0:43:25a condition called tumefactive multiple sclerosis.

0:43:25 > 0:43:29What presented as a tumour is in fact a demyelinating lesion.

0:43:29 > 0:43:32Well, thank you, yeah, that's much clearer.

0:43:32 > 0:43:33You're not dying!

0:43:33 > 0:43:35- I'm not?- Oh, don't misunderstand.

0:43:35 > 0:43:37It's an incurable condition,

0:43:37 > 0:43:40one that will require judicious management,

0:43:40 > 0:43:42but it's just not terminal.

0:43:44 > 0:43:45I'm not dying.

0:43:47 > 0:43:49You must be the only patient I've ever met

0:43:49 > 0:43:51who looks disappointed at that.

0:43:51 > 0:43:53If I were you, I would ring that stockbroker

0:43:53 > 0:43:55and cancel your investment.

0:43:55 > 0:43:57But I was going to be immortal.

0:43:57 > 0:44:00Time catches up with all of us eventually, Mr Kurzweil.

0:44:00 > 0:44:02I'd suggest you make the best of what you have.

0:44:02 > 0:44:04Carpe diem.

0:44:04 > 0:44:06Except I wouldn't be so cliched.

0:44:10 > 0:44:15You know, I did read somewhere that they're planning to set up

0:44:15 > 0:44:19space tourism trips to the moon and back as early as next year.

0:44:19 > 0:44:22Always after the next big thing...

0:44:22 > 0:44:23I've got to make my mark somehow!

0:44:25 > 0:44:27What?

0:44:27 > 0:44:29Nothing.

0:44:29 > 0:44:32You just reminded me of someone, that's all.

0:44:32 > 0:44:33I'm going to call my stockbroker.

0:44:39 > 0:44:42Danny's injuries go back a long way -

0:44:42 > 0:44:45old rib fractures that haven't fully healed.

0:44:45 > 0:44:48A lot of stuff doesn't get reported, for obvious reasons.

0:44:48 > 0:44:50Yeah, I was checking his records.

0:44:50 > 0:44:53It's odd that there's nothing on file,

0:44:53 > 0:44:54not even in the prison infirmary.

0:44:54 > 0:44:56A prison is a complex ecosystem.

0:44:56 > 0:44:59It's easy to misjudge what you don't understand.

0:44:59 > 0:45:01Yeah, so I'm beginning to realise.

0:45:05 > 0:45:07I think it's best if you call in sick,

0:45:07 > 0:45:09and get someone down here to relieve you.

0:45:09 > 0:45:12- That'd be a mistake. - I don't care what excuse you make,

0:45:12 > 0:45:15but I don't want you around Danny for a second longer.

0:45:17 > 0:45:20You might want to think this through,

0:45:20 > 0:45:23especially when you're already so worried about your friend.

0:45:23 > 0:45:25Ric, wasn't it? Eric Griffin?

0:45:25 > 0:45:27Right, you can rest assured,

0:45:27 > 0:45:29if any harm comes to Ric or Danny, I will not hesitate

0:45:29 > 0:45:32to have you investigated for your part in it.

0:45:32 > 0:45:35It's all right for you, with a cushy number here and a six-figure salary.

0:45:35 > 0:45:37You've got no idea what it's like in the real world.

0:45:39 > 0:45:41The real world?

0:45:44 > 0:45:50A number of my colleagues were shot recently in this very hospital -

0:45:50 > 0:45:54friends of mine, good, honest, hard-working people -

0:45:54 > 0:45:58so don't you presume to tell me about the "real world"!

0:46:05 > 0:46:10Now, are you going to make the call, or do I have to do it for you?

0:46:14 > 0:46:16I believe these belong to you.

0:46:16 > 0:46:18Thanks.

0:46:18 > 0:46:20MACHINE BEEPS STEADILY

0:46:21 > 0:46:24We ran into post-operative complications.

0:46:24 > 0:46:26The good news is, I was able to perform the graft

0:46:26 > 0:46:28that we had originally discussed.

0:46:31 > 0:46:33Don't make me ask.

0:46:33 > 0:46:37The bad news is, because of the extra pressure on your spine,

0:46:37 > 0:46:40you're looking at a longer recovery time.

0:46:40 > 0:46:42How much longer?

0:46:42 > 0:46:45I'm going to have to sign you off active duty for at least six months.

0:46:50 > 0:46:53I'm also going to recommend you for psychological evaluation

0:46:53 > 0:46:55before you return to active duty.

0:46:55 > 0:46:56Well, you can't do that.

0:46:56 > 0:46:59I saw the relief in your face just then.

0:47:00 > 0:47:01Is it that obvious?

0:47:03 > 0:47:05Only to someone who knows the signs.

0:47:05 > 0:47:09Oh, so you're not just a surgeon, you're a psychiatrist too?

0:47:20 > 0:47:21Pinocchio...

0:47:23 > 0:47:24..it was my fault.

0:47:26 > 0:47:29He didn't make it back because of me.

0:47:29 > 0:47:30That's survivor's guilt talking.

0:47:30 > 0:47:32No...

0:47:33 > 0:47:35It was friendly fire.

0:47:38 > 0:47:40Everything we went through out there, and...

0:47:42 > 0:47:44it was...

0:47:44 > 0:47:47It was one of my bullets that killed him.

0:47:47 > 0:47:51I should be out there, trying to finish what he started,

0:47:51 > 0:47:53making amends in some way, but instead...

0:47:55 > 0:47:58..all I want to do is crawl away and hide.

0:48:00 > 0:48:02And what does that make me?

0:48:03 > 0:48:05Human.

0:48:14 > 0:48:16What are you doing?

0:48:16 > 0:48:17What does it look like?

0:48:19 > 0:48:21SHE SNIFFLES

0:48:24 > 0:48:26Right, I just got off the phone with the prison,

0:48:26 > 0:48:29and they're going to send a replacement for Luke Butler.

0:48:29 > 0:48:31- SHE SIGHS - Hopefully before 6.00.

0:48:31 > 0:48:33It's like the fox guarding the henhouse, innit?

0:48:33 > 0:48:36- At least Danny can sleep easy tonight.- Mmm.

0:48:36 > 0:48:37Since when did it become so difficult

0:48:37 > 0:48:40to be able to tell the good guys from the bad guys, eh?

0:48:40 > 0:48:41Just like Fredrik.

0:48:43 > 0:48:46Do you know, I was supposed to be his mentor?

0:48:46 > 0:48:48I could have done something.

0:48:48 > 0:48:49I could have said something...

0:48:51 > 0:48:53Hey, come on...

0:48:57 > 0:48:59Are you sure we shouldn't call the police?

0:48:59 > 0:49:01If this Luke guy's dodgy...

0:49:01 > 0:49:04No, no. There's no evidence.

0:49:04 > 0:49:07Besides, it'll only make it worse for Danny.

0:49:07 > 0:49:10No, at least this way we know who to keep an eye on.

0:49:10 > 0:49:11And what about Ric?

0:49:14 > 0:49:16He'll be... He's.... He'll be fine.

0:49:20 > 0:49:22OK. I just wish there was something we could do.

0:49:44 > 0:49:47PHONE RINGS

0:49:47 > 0:49:48HMP Holby.

0:49:48 > 0:49:51Hello, yes, this is Sacha Levy calling from Holby City Hospital.

0:49:51 > 0:49:52Hold on.

0:49:53 > 0:49:54Yeah.

0:49:54 > 0:49:58Yeah, could you connect me to the prison infirmary, please?

0:49:59 > 0:50:01You were right about her.

0:50:01 > 0:50:03She really doesn't take any prisoners, does she?

0:50:03 > 0:50:05I trust you two didn't come to blows in theatre?

0:50:05 > 0:50:08On the contrary, I was very impressed.

0:50:08 > 0:50:12What you said is right - put on the pressure and she comes alive.

0:50:12 > 0:50:14I don't recall using those words exactly.

0:50:14 > 0:50:17- I might poach her when I get back to London.- Just you try it!

0:50:22 > 0:50:24Oh, I hope I'm not interrupting anything in my office.

0:50:24 > 0:50:26Not at all. How's the patient?

0:50:26 > 0:50:28Stable, but the patch is a write-off.

0:50:28 > 0:50:30Better to try and fail than fail to try.

0:50:30 > 0:50:33Not when it puts my patient's life in danger.

0:50:35 > 0:50:37I think my work here is done.

0:50:37 > 0:50:40Arianne, always a pleasure.

0:50:40 > 0:50:41I owe you a favour.

0:50:41 > 0:50:43Hm, promises, promises.

0:50:44 > 0:50:46I never could understand how Connie Beauchamp ended up

0:50:46 > 0:50:48in emergency medicine.

0:50:48 > 0:50:51Funny, the turns a career will take when you take your eye off the ball,

0:50:51 > 0:50:53don't you think?

0:51:03 > 0:51:05How much did you tell her?

0:51:05 > 0:51:07Nothing she couldn't see for herself.

0:51:09 > 0:51:11Is that why you really brought her here?

0:51:11 > 0:51:13To second guess my performance?

0:51:13 > 0:51:16On the contrary. I know you're capable of true brilliance, Jac.

0:51:17 > 0:51:19I just want to see you excel.

0:51:20 > 0:51:22Flattery aside, I don't appreciate

0:51:22 > 0:51:24being railroaded into surgery like that.

0:51:24 > 0:51:26I wouldn't say railroaded.

0:51:26 > 0:51:29Your patient is going to be fine, you appear to be back in the saddle.

0:51:29 > 0:51:31That's what counts, isn't it?

0:51:34 > 0:51:35Erm...

0:51:37 > 0:51:38I reckon I owe you an apology.

0:51:41 > 0:51:43I'm listening.

0:51:43 > 0:51:46Yeah, I might have been a bit quick to judge you this morning.

0:51:46 > 0:51:48You and everybody else.

0:51:48 > 0:51:52I should have given you the benefit of the doubt. I'm sorry.

0:51:52 > 0:51:53No hard feelings?

0:51:56 > 0:51:57Cheers.

0:52:02 > 0:52:04Right, Mr Fincher.

0:52:05 > 0:52:07I've found you a bed on Keller Ward

0:52:07 > 0:52:10where we can keep an eye on you for the rest of the week.

0:52:10 > 0:52:11For real?

0:52:12 > 0:52:14Well, better safe than sorry.

0:52:14 > 0:52:17Then you'll be referred back to the prison infirmary

0:52:17 > 0:52:18with our mutual friend.

0:52:18 > 0:52:21That'll keep you out of trouble - for a little while, at least.

0:52:21 > 0:52:23How did you manage that?

0:52:23 > 0:52:26I managed to pull a few strings with the prison doctor.

0:52:26 > 0:52:29Ric's name carries a certain amount of weight in medical circles.

0:52:29 > 0:52:32- Not sure he'll thank you for it. - Yeah, probably not,

0:52:32 > 0:52:36but I'd rather him safe in there than out here on a stretcher.

0:52:37 > 0:52:40Thank you, Mr Levy. Thank you very much.

0:52:44 > 0:52:45It's the least I could do.

0:53:08 > 0:53:09John?

0:53:11 > 0:53:14I just wondered if I could take a look at your research proposal.

0:53:14 > 0:53:18- Tryptophan is better for insomnia. - I'm being serious.

0:53:18 > 0:53:20Why the sudden interest?

0:53:20 > 0:53:22Well, Raf was always interested in that kind of thing

0:53:22 > 0:53:25and I never had a chance to share in it with him.

0:53:25 > 0:53:27Yeah, I read one of his papers -

0:53:27 > 0:53:30therapeutic hypothermia post-cardiac resuscitation -

0:53:30 > 0:53:31when I was in Switzerland.

0:53:31 > 0:53:33- Really?- Fascinating stuff.

0:53:33 > 0:53:36- I only wish I'd had the chance to work with him.- Maybe you still can.

0:53:36 > 0:53:38I don't follow.

0:53:38 > 0:53:41I mentioned Raf's inheritance earlier.

0:53:41 > 0:53:44Is this going where I think it's going?

0:53:44 > 0:53:48He should have the kind of legacy that he truly deserves.

0:53:48 > 0:53:51He was a man of medicine, a man of science,

0:53:51 > 0:53:54and he would have loved to have been a part of what you're trying to do,

0:53:54 > 0:53:58so I would like to make a donation to your project in his name.

0:54:00 > 0:54:02I couldn't possibly accept.

0:54:02 > 0:54:05I've been thinking about this all day

0:54:05 > 0:54:08and this is what he would have wanted.

0:54:08 > 0:54:11Are you sure? You don't need a couple of days to think about it?

0:54:11 > 0:54:12No, I've made up my mind.

0:54:14 > 0:54:16You could put it to good use, couldn't you?

0:54:16 > 0:54:18- I would be honoured. - Then it's settled.

0:54:21 > 0:54:23"Thank you" hardly seems adequate.

0:54:23 > 0:54:25Don't thank me.

0:54:25 > 0:54:27Thank Raf.

0:54:27 > 0:54:28Make him proud.

0:54:28 > 0:54:29You have my word.

0:54:36 > 0:54:38Are you bumping CABGs?

0:54:38 > 0:54:41I'm giving them to you.

0:54:41 > 0:54:43As a reward or a punishment?

0:54:43 > 0:54:45I'll leave that entirely up to you.

0:54:46 > 0:54:49Oh, just admit it - you need me.

0:54:51 > 0:54:52Uh...

0:54:52 > 0:54:55Where will you be if anybody needs you?

0:54:55 > 0:54:56Home.

0:55:15 > 0:55:16It's time.

0:55:18 > 0:55:22I know nobody wanted to say it, maybe because of Hanssen,

0:55:22 > 0:55:24but mostly because of me.

0:55:28 > 0:55:29Are you sure you're ready?

0:55:31 > 0:55:33I made a decision today.

0:55:33 > 0:55:35Raf's inheritance...

0:55:38 > 0:55:39..I'm going to donate it

0:55:39 > 0:55:41to Professor Gaskell's stem-cell research.

0:55:46 > 0:55:48And that's really what you want?

0:55:49 > 0:55:53It's not enough that he's just remembered.

0:55:53 > 0:55:55He should survive it in this way.

0:55:56 > 0:56:00That way, he can get to keep saving lives even though he's gone.

0:56:03 > 0:56:05This is what Raf would have wanted...

0:56:07 > 0:56:08..a shot at immortality.
