0:00:02 > 0:00:03What is Ric going to think when I don't show up?

0:00:03 > 0:00:05Don't worry about it. I'm sure he'll understand.

0:00:05 > 0:00:07You will send him my love, though, won't you?

0:00:07 > 0:00:10He should have the kind of legacy that he truly deserves.

0:00:10 > 0:00:14I would like to make a donation to your project in his name.

0:00:14 > 0:00:15I would be honoured.

0:00:15 > 0:00:17It's all right, Oliver.

0:00:17 > 0:00:23I've just signed off on the next stage of your security operation.

0:00:23 > 0:00:25Knife arch. Corridor lockdown.

0:00:25 > 0:00:26I'm in need of a surgically-trained nurse.

0:00:26 > 0:00:29Some might call that fate. See you in ten.

0:01:10 > 0:01:12SENSOR WHIRS

0:01:14 > 0:01:17SIREN WAILS

0:01:21 > 0:01:22But the queue's this way.

0:01:22 > 0:01:24You ain't getting in without a pass, Lofty.

0:01:24 > 0:01:26SIREN WAILS

0:01:29 > 0:01:31LOFTY SIGHS

0:01:36 > 0:01:39- Have you heard from Ric? - Why? What's happened?

0:01:39 > 0:01:40He's in the prison infirmary.

0:01:40 > 0:01:42Kofi and Darla have had their appointments cancelled,

0:01:42 > 0:01:44and mine too as well, apparently.

0:01:44 > 0:01:47- Did they say what was wrong with him?- No, that's my mission for today.

0:01:49 > 0:01:50Whoa, whoa! One sec!

0:01:51 > 0:01:53Why cut us all off like this?

0:01:53 > 0:01:56Listen, you're reading too much into it.

0:01:56 > 0:01:59You were the last person to see him. How was he?

0:01:59 > 0:02:01Like I said, you know, as well as could be expected

0:02:01 > 0:02:02in a place like that.

0:02:02 > 0:02:05I just feel so useless.

0:02:08 > 0:02:10I've just told you, I haven't ordered anything and if I had,

0:02:10 > 0:02:14why on earth would I have it delivered to a hospital?

0:02:14 > 0:02:17Look, I don't care if it's already on the wagon...

0:02:17 > 0:02:20What do you mean 40 quid for a depot return?

0:02:20 > 0:02:22Mate, you should be wearing a mask.

0:02:22 > 0:02:24You'd better not be wasting my time, that's all!

0:02:24 > 0:02:25Late-night internet shopping?

0:02:25 > 0:02:28I've got no idea what it is, but it's a secure delivery

0:02:28 > 0:02:30- and I've got to sign for it. - What's with the workmen?

0:02:30 > 0:02:32It took me half an hour to get in today.

0:02:32 > 0:02:34You'll thank me when the weapons' arch is installed -

0:02:34 > 0:02:36better protection and speedier service.

0:02:36 > 0:02:40Lofty! Where's your ID?

0:02:40 > 0:02:41I must have left it at home.

0:02:41 > 0:02:43You'd better jump on the bus and go and get it, then.

0:02:43 > 0:02:44Ah, come on, Fletch!

0:02:44 > 0:02:46Don't even go there. You know why we're doing this.

0:02:46 > 0:02:49How did you even get past security, anyway?!

0:02:49 > 0:02:50My infectious smile.

0:02:55 > 0:02:57Was that really necessary?

0:02:58 > 0:03:01I mean, who gets to decide if Ric has visitors or not?

0:03:01 > 0:03:03Surely, if he's poorly, a friendly face would be a good thing?

0:03:03 > 0:03:07He probably just needs rest. It'll be man flu or something.

0:03:07 > 0:03:09Well, let's take the guesswork out of it, shall we?

0:03:09 > 0:03:11I'm going to get Kofi on the case.

0:03:11 > 0:03:13OK.

0:03:13 > 0:03:15Do you know where you are?

0:03:15 > 0:03:16Of course I do.

0:03:16 > 0:03:18Which is?

0:03:18 > 0:03:20The Empire State Building.

0:03:20 > 0:03:22Well, he hasn't lost his sense of humour.

0:03:23 > 0:03:26Sacha...

0:03:26 > 0:03:27It's good to see you.

0:03:27 > 0:03:29It's good to see you, too.

0:03:29 > 0:03:30Hello, mate!

0:03:30 > 0:03:32What are you doing down here? Requested a transfer?

0:03:36 > 0:03:38- Donna...- That's right.

0:03:38 > 0:03:39- DONNA CHUCKLES - Come on, let's go.

0:03:44 > 0:03:47I think a change of scenery could really help his memory.

0:03:47 > 0:03:51Keep him rested and I'll let Mr Hanssen know he's here.

0:03:51 > 0:03:53He may want access for a consultation.

0:03:53 > 0:03:54OK. I'll keep you posted.

0:03:54 > 0:03:55Thanks.

0:03:56 > 0:03:57Erm...

0:03:57 > 0:04:01I'm going up the prison after work. Are you coming?

0:04:01 > 0:04:03Do you know, it's not your responsibility,

0:04:03 > 0:04:05and he would hate to think you're worrying about him.

0:04:05 > 0:04:08I don't know what else to do.

0:04:08 > 0:04:12Right, look, I'm going to ring the prison infirmary and see what I can do.

0:04:12 > 0:04:14In the meantime, just spend some time with Ollie.

0:04:14 > 0:04:16OK.

0:04:18 > 0:04:21I understand this procedure can cause sexual dysfunction in a man?

0:04:21 > 0:04:25Hormonal changes can occur after bypass surgery, but at your age...

0:04:25 > 0:04:27I wouldn't worry about that.

0:04:27 > 0:04:29I suffer from several paraphilias,

0:04:29 > 0:04:31and that's why I volunteer in the hospital -

0:04:31 > 0:04:34it's part of my therapy.

0:04:34 > 0:04:35Er, what are you doing?

0:04:35 > 0:04:38I'm putting my gown on. I need to get on with this ASAP.

0:04:38 > 0:04:40I know I spend a lot of time reading to the patients,

0:04:40 > 0:04:43but I never thought I'd be one.

0:04:43 > 0:04:46- Let's have an FBC, ECG.- Mm-hmm.

0:04:46 > 0:04:49Now, if you don't mind, I could do with a little privacy.

0:04:49 > 0:04:55I'd like to get my chakra together before the ordeal ahead,

0:04:55 > 0:04:57so to speak!

0:04:57 > 0:04:59He's a...character.

0:04:59 > 0:05:00Ugh. You could say that.

0:05:03 > 0:05:07What's this? I never took you for a vinyl man.

0:05:07 > 0:05:09Er...I'm not.

0:05:12 > 0:05:17PP Arnold... The Small Faces...

0:05:17 > 0:05:19That is some ancient stuff.

0:05:19 > 0:05:21I want this junk off my ward.

0:05:21 > 0:05:23Well, where's somewhere safe for me to put it?

0:05:23 > 0:05:24I don't know. I don't care.

0:05:43 > 0:05:45The patient's name is Anita Warner.

0:05:45 > 0:05:49Mr Levy performed a sigmoid colectomy for a colovesical fistula

0:05:49 > 0:05:50two days ago.

0:05:50 > 0:05:52Mm-hmm. What's the problem?

0:05:52 > 0:05:53Look.

0:05:53 > 0:05:56Her temperature's raised. She's slightly tachycardic.

0:05:56 > 0:05:57Her blood pressure's on the low side.

0:05:57 > 0:06:00Right. Have you done the usual white blood cell count?

0:06:00 > 0:06:03Yeah, FBC, U&E, CRP - the usual.

0:06:03 > 0:06:05So what's the panic?

0:06:05 > 0:06:06I assisted on her surgery,

0:06:06 > 0:06:09and now she's not recovering as well as she should be.

0:06:09 > 0:06:11What if I messed up?

0:06:11 > 0:06:14Are you for real?

0:06:14 > 0:06:16Look, come with me.

0:06:16 > 0:06:19No, you don't understand. Mr Levy let me do some of the stapling...

0:06:19 > 0:06:21Do you really think Sacha would have let you do it

0:06:21 > 0:06:24if he didn't think you were capable?

0:06:24 > 0:06:27Minor infections happen all the time after surgery, OK?

0:06:27 > 0:06:29It's nothing that a course of antibiotics

0:06:29 > 0:06:30doesn't usually sort out.

0:06:30 > 0:06:31Come on.

0:06:31 > 0:06:33We're meant to be having a dress-fitting later.

0:06:33 > 0:06:34So sorry to interrupt,

0:06:34 > 0:06:37but Dr McKendrick would like to examine you.

0:06:37 > 0:06:40I'll go give them a call now. We'll reschedule. Hmm?

0:06:46 > 0:06:48Having the operation this close to the wedding

0:06:48 > 0:06:49has proper messed with her head.

0:06:49 > 0:06:51Oh, bless...

0:06:51 > 0:06:54This is the last thing we need at the moment, you know?

0:06:54 > 0:06:56We've had enough grief over getting married.

0:06:56 > 0:07:00I'm guessing not everyone's LGBTQ-friendly?

0:07:00 > 0:07:02- Understatement of the year.- Right.

0:07:02 > 0:07:04I won't bore you with the details.

0:07:05 > 0:07:09Grief can lead people to sometimes making rash decisions.

0:07:09 > 0:07:11This is why you wanted to see me?

0:07:11 > 0:07:13It's just it's been playing on my mind.

0:07:13 > 0:07:17You think I've wasted Raf's money on Petri dishes and test tubes?

0:07:17 > 0:07:21No, I think that he left you that money

0:07:21 > 0:07:25so you could live comfortably and debt-free, I imagine.

0:07:25 > 0:07:27Look, I understand that you'd feel better about

0:07:27 > 0:07:28giving the money away...

0:07:28 > 0:07:30It's not going to bring him back, Sacha.

0:07:32 > 0:07:33Sorry. It's your call, after all.

0:07:33 > 0:07:36No, no. No, no, not at all...

0:07:37 > 0:07:39ESSIE SIGHS

0:07:41 > 0:07:43I've had my doubts, to be honest.

0:07:51 > 0:07:53What's on your mind?

0:07:53 > 0:07:57Raf was all about the patients -

0:07:57 > 0:08:02helping people who some might think were even beyond help.

0:08:03 > 0:08:08Gaskell is potentially dealing in a fantasy off the back of a miracle.

0:08:10 > 0:08:13Raf brought us the ECMO,

0:08:13 > 0:08:16and Professor Hope created the Herzig.

0:08:16 > 0:08:20Both were considered witchcraft and now they're standard practice.

0:08:20 > 0:08:21Yeah, that's true, I suppose.

0:08:21 > 0:08:25This is all about giving patients hope,

0:08:25 > 0:08:27and Raf can still make a difference here.

0:08:27 > 0:08:30IF the gene therapy works.

0:08:31 > 0:08:35But this money is a drop in the ocean to Gaskell -

0:08:35 > 0:08:36but it's a big deal for you.

0:08:36 > 0:08:39Don't worry, I fully intend on seeing how that money is spent.

0:08:39 > 0:08:42I can't see Raf's money wasted.

0:08:44 > 0:08:45What if you're not happy?

0:08:45 > 0:08:47Then I am pulling the plug.

0:08:52 > 0:08:56Fleur De Lys, 1966 - Mud In Your Eye.

0:08:56 > 0:08:59B side, I've Been Trying.

0:08:59 > 0:09:02These are all from the pre-mod era,

0:09:02 > 0:09:03long before the scene got started.

0:09:03 > 0:09:05Eh?

0:09:05 > 0:09:07Do you know, you can tell a lot about a person

0:09:07 > 0:09:09from a collection like this?

0:09:09 > 0:09:13Well, I don't even know if it is a collection...

0:09:13 > 0:09:15A friend of mine left it to me, so...

0:09:15 > 0:09:19There's everyone from The Who to Brenda Holloway here.

0:09:19 > 0:09:21I'm still not with you.

0:09:21 > 0:09:24You would be if you did your research,

0:09:24 > 0:09:27but there's more to this little lot than cash.

0:09:27 > 0:09:30This is someone's guilty pleasure -

0:09:30 > 0:09:33a statement of personality and character.

0:09:33 > 0:09:34Michelle?

0:09:34 > 0:09:38Sorry, we need to get you back to your bed, so we can get you sorted.

0:09:38 > 0:09:40All these boxes have been marked by year -

0:09:40 > 0:09:44otherwise, they're not collated, not even alphabetised.

0:09:45 > 0:09:46OK...

0:09:48 > 0:09:51Someone's left you unfinished business there.

0:10:12 > 0:10:15John, I know you're busy,

0:10:15 > 0:10:17but I really could do with some of your time.

0:10:17 > 0:10:22I am fully at your disposal, as I need you with me today.

0:10:22 > 0:10:23For what?

0:10:23 > 0:10:25Well, I'm looking - well, hopefully, we are looking -

0:10:25 > 0:10:27at the first batches of candidates for the proposed trials.

0:10:27 > 0:10:29We?

0:10:29 > 0:10:31I know you're used to hard choices, difficult decisions.

0:10:31 > 0:10:33You want me to process the trial candidates?

0:10:33 > 0:10:35Will that be a problem?

0:10:37 > 0:10:40Is this because of my donation?

0:10:40 > 0:10:44Well, how could it be? I'm not interested in donor flattery.

0:10:44 > 0:10:45As a former transplant coordinator,

0:10:45 > 0:10:47I thought you'd be perfect for the task.

0:10:51 > 0:10:53VELCRO RIPS

0:10:53 > 0:10:54She's become increasingly tachycardic

0:10:54 > 0:10:56and her blood pressure's dropped to 85/60.

0:10:56 > 0:10:57That's why I paged you.

0:10:57 > 0:11:00I feel fine. I just want to get out of here.

0:11:00 > 0:11:01Bloods?

0:11:01 > 0:11:02All near normal.

0:11:02 > 0:11:05Slightly raised white blood cell count and CRP's not back yet.

0:11:07 > 0:11:09I hear you're getting married, Anita?

0:11:09 > 0:11:11So, when's the big day?

0:11:11 > 0:11:1354 sleeps left.

0:11:13 > 0:11:15Oh, it sounds wonderful.

0:11:15 > 0:11:19Can we get an ABG, and an abdominal CT scan as well?

0:11:19 > 0:11:20Yeah.

0:11:22 > 0:11:23You're doing great.

0:11:26 > 0:11:28Do you think it's some kind of infection, then?

0:11:28 > 0:11:31Her symptoms suggest sepsis.

0:11:31 > 0:11:34Most likely cause being the join in the colon

0:11:34 > 0:11:36leaking faecal matter - entering the abdominal cavity.

0:11:36 > 0:11:40And if the CT scan shows that's the case?

0:11:40 > 0:11:43Then I'm afraid she might need an emergency operation

0:11:43 > 0:11:45and possibly a stoma bag.

0:11:45 > 0:11:46For how long?

0:11:46 > 0:11:47About six months.

0:11:49 > 0:11:51NICKY SIGHS

0:11:51 > 0:11:54Hey, look, this happens, Nicky.

0:11:54 > 0:11:58Yeah. It just had to be me, didn't it?

0:11:58 > 0:12:00I mean, it's not going to be the first or last time

0:12:00 > 0:12:02you're in this situation, but what I want you to do

0:12:02 > 0:12:05is follow all this through and learn from it.

0:12:05 > 0:12:08Yeah.

0:12:08 > 0:12:12You will take no personal responsibility for this at all, OK?

0:12:12 > 0:12:16As your consultant, the buck stops with me, OK?

0:12:16 > 0:12:18- OK.- Good.

0:12:23 > 0:12:27Patient must suffer from a primary neurodegenerative condition.

0:12:27 > 0:12:29No other major comorbidities.

0:12:29 > 0:12:31The age range is 8 to 80.

0:12:31 > 0:12:34Fit and well for general anaesthetic.

0:12:34 > 0:12:36The criteria to be considered a candidate will be strict,

0:12:36 > 0:12:37no grey areas.

0:12:37 > 0:12:39What sort of conditions are we looking for?

0:12:39 > 0:12:44MND, Huntington's, lysosomal storage disorders... Should I go on?

0:12:44 > 0:12:45Good start, Essie.

0:12:45 > 0:12:49Well, the problem is everyone seems to be a deserving cause

0:12:49 > 0:12:50and fits your criteria.

0:12:50 > 0:12:55Then we need to be clinical as well as ethical about our choices.

0:12:55 > 0:12:57It's been hard enough whittling down thousands

0:12:57 > 0:13:00- into just a few hundred. - Yes, I can imagine...

0:13:00 > 0:13:02And we need immediate success if we're going to get a chance to

0:13:02 > 0:13:04wheel out the technique on a bigger scale.

0:13:04 > 0:13:08Emotion can play no part in the selection process.

0:13:24 > 0:13:26BUZZER

0:13:29 > 0:13:31DOOR OPENS

0:13:31 > 0:13:33New here?

0:13:33 > 0:13:34Sorry?

0:13:34 > 0:13:36I don't know you.

0:13:36 > 0:13:40I'm Nicky. Can I help you with something?

0:13:41 > 0:13:43Talking to yourself?

0:13:43 > 0:13:47Oh, yeah... Yeah, that was nothing that would interest you.

0:13:47 > 0:13:49HE BUZZES REPEATEDLY

0:13:50 > 0:13:52I can keep this up all day.

0:14:00 > 0:14:04I've been involved in a surgery that has potentially

0:14:04 > 0:14:05failed the patient,

0:14:05 > 0:14:09and now I have to tell her that she might need a stoma.

0:14:09 > 0:14:13HE SIGHS It happens...to all of us.

0:14:17 > 0:14:19What would you do?

0:14:43 > 0:14:45Keep to the facts.

0:14:46 > 0:14:48No.

0:14:48 > 0:14:50He's...

0:14:50 > 0:14:54She's waiting on an abdominal CT?

0:14:54 > 0:14:58Mr Levy seems pretty sold on an anastomotic leak.

0:14:58 > 0:14:59Yeah.

0:14:59 > 0:15:00That's his...

0:15:02 > 0:15:04HE BREATHES WEAKLY

0:15:07 > 0:15:09..speciality.

0:15:11 > 0:15:13Well, she's getting married in a couple of months, so I didn't...

0:15:13 > 0:15:17Tell her the stoma's not permanent. She could make a full recovery.

0:15:19 > 0:15:21Here endeth the lesson.

0:15:31 > 0:15:32What were you just doing in there?

0:15:32 > 0:15:35Oh. Mr Valentine pressed his button and you weren't around.

0:15:35 > 0:15:37What did he need?

0:15:37 > 0:15:39Just a bit of company, I think.

0:15:40 > 0:15:42- I can trust you, yeah? - Of course.

0:15:42 > 0:15:45OK, Roxanna thought that having Ollie brought down here might

0:15:45 > 0:15:48help him, but I don't want you any more involved than that, all right?

0:15:48 > 0:15:50- Minimum stimulus until further notice.- But...

0:15:50 > 0:15:51No buts. You've had your heads-up.

0:15:51 > 0:15:53- OK?- OK.

0:15:53 > 0:15:55- LIFT CHIMES - Good.

0:15:55 > 0:15:59How...how was he with you?

0:15:59 > 0:16:01He was really helpful, actually.

0:16:01 > 0:16:04I was just... I was asking him about Anita's case.

0:16:04 > 0:16:06Well, you should be focusing on Anita's care,

0:16:06 > 0:16:07not discussing it with other patients.

0:16:07 > 0:16:10Have you chased up her CT scan yet?

0:16:10 > 0:16:13Right, well, get a wriggle on before Mr Levy hangs you out to dry!

0:16:13 > 0:16:14- OK.- OK.

0:16:29 > 0:16:31DOOR OPENS

0:16:33 > 0:16:36I don't recall giving you permission to turn my office

0:16:36 > 0:16:38into an obstacle course.

0:16:38 > 0:16:40Writing your resignation letter because of all of

0:16:40 > 0:16:44the complaints about your ridiculous security measures?

0:16:46 > 0:16:49It's from Raf.

0:16:49 > 0:16:51What's it say?

0:16:51 > 0:16:53Sorry, it's not my business.

0:16:57 > 0:16:59I don't know what to do with it all.

0:17:03 > 0:17:08Larry said that a record collection can give you

0:17:08 > 0:17:10the personality of a person,

0:17:10 > 0:17:12so this could be all I've got left of Raf.

0:17:14 > 0:17:15You should take it home.

0:17:17 > 0:17:23He started to collate it all but he hasn't finished the job.

0:17:23 > 0:17:24I want it all gone by the end of play, Fletch.

0:17:24 > 0:17:28Oh, come on, Jac. I need to organise safe passage for this.

0:17:28 > 0:17:30Look, I can't just chuck it all in the boot of my car.

0:17:30 > 0:17:31Gone, Fletch.

0:17:34 > 0:17:37Where's your ID?

0:17:37 > 0:17:39- I must have left it in my scrubs. - Well, go and get it.

0:17:39 > 0:17:41You know it's a security breech to lose your pass.

0:17:41 > 0:17:43Don't talk to me like that.

0:17:44 > 0:17:46Misplaced, not lost.

0:17:53 > 0:17:56Mr Simpson, good to see you again.

0:17:56 > 0:17:58Hello, Josie. I'll be over to see you soon.

0:18:01 > 0:18:03OK, that's all good.

0:18:03 > 0:18:06Right, I'm going to organise your tests

0:18:06 > 0:18:10and then I'm going to come back and take a history, OK?

0:18:12 > 0:18:13I knew you'd take to this.

0:18:13 > 0:18:16Well, I'm interested seeing where my money is spent.

0:18:16 > 0:18:18I'm sure what you see today will convince you.

0:18:18 > 0:18:20Why don't we let today decide?

0:18:20 > 0:18:22Who do you have next?

0:18:22 > 0:18:27Charlie Lafferty - he's got mucopolysaccharidosis III.

0:18:27 > 0:18:29From my neck of the woods. A character.

0:18:30 > 0:18:335-3, get in! That's another quid you owe me.

0:18:33 > 0:18:36Oh, yeah? Yeah, I'll put it in your swear jar, shall I?

0:18:39 > 0:18:42I've just been doing 15-minute obs on Anita.

0:18:44 > 0:18:47She has been telling me about a history of high blood pressure

0:18:47 > 0:18:49and diabetes in her family.

0:18:49 > 0:18:51I think both are under control, according to her notes.

0:18:51 > 0:18:56Well, I'm just wondering if maybe we're looking at something else.

0:18:57 > 0:18:59One second.

0:18:59 > 0:19:00So, what do you mean?

0:19:00 > 0:19:04Well, her symptoms could be indicative of a cardiac event.

0:19:04 > 0:19:07Well, it's true that we can't rule anything out,

0:19:07 > 0:19:10but it's most likely a leak to the repair.

0:19:10 > 0:19:13Couldn't we look at both? Maybe order an ECG?

0:19:14 > 0:19:17You know that I hold you in the highest esteem, OK?

0:19:17 > 0:19:18And I hear you,

0:19:18 > 0:19:21but it's my call and I have decided that identifying the sepsis

0:19:21 > 0:19:23is the best course of action.

0:19:26 > 0:19:28Have you called the infirmary yet?

0:19:28 > 0:19:31Just keep her on 15-minute obs and report the changes, OK?

0:19:34 > 0:19:35- ESSIE GROANS - Essie?

0:19:35 > 0:19:37- THEY GRUNT - Sorry. Sorry, Fletch.

0:19:37 > 0:19:39Look, this is just going to be there for a minute,

0:19:39 > 0:19:42- while I get everything up from the wet lab.- Oh, forget about it.

0:19:42 > 0:19:44Did you get that letter that I found?

0:19:44 > 0:19:46Yeah.

0:19:46 > 0:19:48Why did Raf want me to have his record collection?

0:19:48 > 0:19:50No idea.

0:19:52 > 0:19:54I just don't understand.

0:19:54 > 0:19:56I know how you feel.

0:19:56 > 0:19:58Yeah, there was, you know, a lot of vinyl in the house,

0:19:58 > 0:20:00but, well, me and the kids were told on pain of death

0:20:00 > 0:20:02not to go anywhere near it!

0:20:02 > 0:20:05Well, maybe he wanted to see you popping some moves

0:20:05 > 0:20:08to his groovy tunes?

0:20:08 > 0:20:09It's a mystery.

0:20:09 > 0:20:13Well, you know Raf - he'd have had his reasons.

0:20:13 > 0:20:17Maybe it was just a little something to remind you of him.

0:20:17 > 0:20:18You reckon?

0:20:20 > 0:20:23Why don't we get a bottle of wine later and we can play some?

0:20:23 > 0:20:28That is a fantastic idea... but I do have a problem.

0:20:29 > 0:20:31You need a record player?

0:20:31 > 0:20:32Yeah, I've got to go shopping.

0:20:32 > 0:20:34THEY CHUCKLE

0:20:36 > 0:20:38You think Sacha's wrong?

0:20:38 > 0:20:42I think he's going with what he knows and not covering all angles.

0:20:42 > 0:20:45She's lost a lot of weight recently. How?

0:20:45 > 0:20:47It's not really my place to ask.

0:20:47 > 0:20:50You've run her bloods, though?

0:20:50 > 0:20:52Toxicology?

0:20:52 > 0:20:54Why would we do that?

0:20:54 > 0:20:58I had a case where I treated a woman for...

0:21:03 > 0:21:04..tachycardia.

0:21:04 > 0:21:06She was taking slimming pills.

0:21:06 > 0:21:09Vanity...nearly killed her.

0:21:09 > 0:21:11Well, I wouldn't really put Anita in that bracket.

0:21:11 > 0:21:14She seems pretty comfortable in her own skin.

0:21:14 > 0:21:17Although, she is getting married in a few weeks.

0:21:18 > 0:21:21So, do you agree with me - this could be a cardiac event?

0:21:21 > 0:21:25It could be. You'll need to run an echo and an ECG

0:21:25 > 0:21:27and toxicology to prove it,

0:21:27 > 0:21:29and you're going over Sacha's head.

0:21:29 > 0:21:33Yeah. It's going to be embarrassing if I get it wrong.

0:21:33 > 0:21:37More embarrassing for Mr Levy if you're right.

0:21:45 > 0:21:46Has Mr Hanssen been down yet?

0:21:46 > 0:21:48No, I don't think so.

0:21:50 > 0:21:52How are you getting on?

0:21:52 > 0:21:57PP Arnold, 1968, Everything's Going To Be All Right.

0:21:57 > 0:21:59Gold sleeve LP.

0:21:59 > 0:22:01Worth a meagre £100.

0:22:03 > 0:22:06You could have a golden goose amongst these sleeves.

0:22:06 > 0:22:07Well, it's not about the money.

0:22:10 > 0:22:12Oh, there you are.

0:22:12 > 0:22:14Mr O'Shea, I have your test results.

0:22:14 > 0:22:18The echo shows you have a very poor left ventricular output.

0:22:18 > 0:22:23The normal ejection function is 65 and yours is 15.

0:22:23 > 0:22:24What's she talking about?

0:22:24 > 0:22:26You may need a heart transplant.

0:22:37 > 0:22:40Do I...

0:22:40 > 0:22:41Do I have options?

0:22:41 > 0:22:45Well, we can proceed with the bypass as planned,

0:22:45 > 0:22:48but the procedure now carries additional significant risk -

0:22:48 > 0:22:51a risk that may well be worth taking.

0:22:51 > 0:22:53You could live a relatively normal life

0:22:53 > 0:22:56if the bypass is successful and we can improve your output.

0:22:56 > 0:22:58And that's it?

0:22:59 > 0:23:03I could die today... if I don't choose to go ahead?

0:23:06 > 0:23:09I'm going to give you some time to make your decision, OK?

0:23:20 > 0:23:22FLETCH SIGHS

0:23:23 > 0:23:27It's not a call that you can make lightly.

0:23:27 > 0:23:29Not that I'll be missed.

0:23:29 > 0:23:31No family?

0:23:34 > 0:23:38Truth be known, I have no-one, Fletch.

0:23:38 > 0:23:41I have stoically shunned society all my life,

0:23:41 > 0:23:46in favour of collecting inanimate objects -

0:23:46 > 0:23:48they come without issues, you see.

0:23:50 > 0:23:54I was going to ask you about your friend.

0:23:54 > 0:23:57He, er...

0:23:57 > 0:24:00He was killed in the shooting.

0:24:04 > 0:24:07Mr Di Lucca.

0:24:07 > 0:24:08Did you know him?

0:24:08 > 0:24:11Only to say hello to.

0:24:11 > 0:24:14What a tragic waste of life.

0:24:14 > 0:24:20Mr Di Lucca died while saving lives to the end, so I hear.

0:24:22 > 0:24:23That he did.

0:24:26 > 0:24:32Then, like him, I shall be brave today.

0:24:32 > 0:24:34I'm going to go ahead with the operation.

0:24:34 > 0:24:35Are you sure?

0:24:35 > 0:24:40Now, let's sort out this little lot before the op.

0:24:40 > 0:24:44You're not exactly savvy when it comes to vinyl.

0:24:44 > 0:24:45FLETCH EXHALES

0:24:45 > 0:24:47It's like she waits for me to come across the corner

0:24:47 > 0:24:49and then she's just sick everywhere.

0:24:49 > 0:24:51It's pretty di...

0:24:51 > 0:24:52Are you even listening to me?

0:24:55 > 0:24:59Sorry. Sorry, I'm miles away. It's been one of those days.

0:24:59 > 0:25:01Did you actually get to talk to him, then?

0:25:01 > 0:25:03What's the reason for moving him down to AAU?

0:25:03 > 0:25:06No idea. Seemed to know Donna really well, though.

0:25:06 > 0:25:08You have to talk to him.

0:25:08 > 0:25:09I've been warned off.

0:25:09 > 0:25:12Oh, come on, Nicky. Do it for the sisterhood.

0:25:12 > 0:25:16Aren't you desperate to know what Mr Valentine's really like?!

0:25:16 > 0:25:18Here we are.

0:25:18 > 0:25:21I hope that scanner wasn't too scary for you.

0:25:21 > 0:25:23No biggie, I've had loads of them.

0:25:23 > 0:25:27Me and Dad virtually live at the hossie.

0:25:27 > 0:25:29Do you and your dad get much help at home?

0:25:31 > 0:25:33Thirsty. I need a drink.

0:25:43 > 0:25:45Stupid hand won't work!

0:25:45 > 0:25:47It's OK. I can do it.

0:25:51 > 0:25:53There you go.

0:25:53 > 0:25:54OK?

0:25:56 > 0:26:00So, you were telling me how you and your dad manage?

0:26:00 > 0:26:02It's nice having him around all the time,

0:26:02 > 0:26:03but he had to quit his job.

0:26:03 > 0:26:07I didn't really want that but he wouldn't have it any other way.

0:26:07 > 0:26:09What did he do?

0:26:09 > 0:26:11He drew cartoons and things.

0:26:13 > 0:26:15So, how's school going?

0:26:15 > 0:26:17I have a lady in class who helps me with my work,

0:26:17 > 0:26:20and I like writing stories.

0:26:20 > 0:26:22Dad keeps them in a book.

0:26:22 > 0:26:25He says he's going to get them published one day.

0:26:25 > 0:26:26He's been drawing all the pictures for me.

0:26:26 > 0:26:28Which one's your favourite?

0:26:28 > 0:26:30Charlie Lafferty: Stilton Boy,

0:26:30 > 0:26:33where I eat some disgusting mouldy cheese

0:26:33 > 0:26:36and get silly, cheesy superpowers!

0:26:36 > 0:26:41Me-me and Dad play a game - most-most useless superheroes.

0:26:41 > 0:26:44Why don't you have a go? I bet I can top it.

0:26:44 > 0:26:45Erm...

0:26:45 > 0:26:48Well, OK...

0:26:48 > 0:26:52Hmm... How about Dish Towel Girl?

0:26:52 > 0:26:55You can still dry the dishes really fast!

0:26:55 > 0:26:56OK, your turn.

0:26:56 > 0:26:58Wet Toilet Paper Guy.

0:26:58 > 0:26:59- SHE CHUCKLES - You win.

0:26:59 > 0:27:01Dad made him up...

0:27:01 > 0:27:03He's totally useless.

0:27:04 > 0:27:07- Are you tired? - Yeah.

0:27:07 > 0:27:09Come on, lie down.

0:27:21 > 0:27:24- Oh, he's out for the count.- Yeah.

0:27:24 > 0:27:25It's been such a long day for him.

0:27:28 > 0:27:33Does this happen a lot - the slurred speech, right-sided weakness?

0:27:33 > 0:27:36How have his energy levels been?

0:27:36 > 0:27:38He's normally full of beans, to be honest.

0:27:38 > 0:27:40He likes to get out and about, you know,

0:27:40 > 0:27:42and makes videos with his drone.

0:27:42 > 0:27:44He's got his own YouTube channel.

0:27:44 > 0:27:46He has over 1,000 followers now.

0:27:46 > 0:27:49And he sounds like he's got a zest for life.

0:27:49 > 0:27:53Oh, well, is that a gold star for us, then?

0:27:53 > 0:27:56Chris, you know we can't promise you anything,

0:27:56 > 0:28:00and I think I need to speak to Gaskell about these new symptoms.

0:28:05 > 0:28:08Do you really think the problem's with her heart, and not sepsis?

0:28:08 > 0:28:11Well, we owe it to our patient to at least rule it out.

0:28:11 > 0:28:13I just don't understand why we have to go over Sacha's head.

0:28:13 > 0:28:15Look, he's got a lot on his plate at the moment.

0:28:15 > 0:28:17We're just covering his back, all right?

0:28:17 > 0:28:19It's this kind of thing that could escalate.

0:28:19 > 0:28:22Oh, I'm sorry, what's happening? She still hasn't had her scan done.

0:28:22 > 0:28:25We'll get her in for a scan as soon as we can but, in the meantime,

0:28:25 > 0:28:28Dr McKendrick is going to do some precautionary tests.

0:28:30 > 0:28:32I, er... I'll be back in a minute.

0:28:39 > 0:28:41Are you OK?

0:28:41 > 0:28:42Yeah.

0:28:42 > 0:28:45Oh, I made contact with the guy from the prison infirmary.

0:28:45 > 0:28:47What's wrong with Ric?

0:28:49 > 0:28:51It's just...

0:28:51 > 0:28:53He's just... He's not feeling very well.

0:28:53 > 0:28:56He's had a chest infection and he needs time to recover.

0:28:58 > 0:29:00That's it?

0:29:00 > 0:29:02He says he's going to try and call you later.

0:29:08 > 0:29:10Don't worry, we're keeping obs on him

0:29:10 > 0:29:12until we get the results of the scan.

0:29:14 > 0:29:18How much do you know about MPS III?

0:29:18 > 0:29:21Well, that it's pretty rare,

0:29:21 > 0:29:23and sometimes known as Sanfilippo syndrome.

0:29:23 > 0:29:26It affects mental and physical growth

0:29:26 > 0:29:29and gradually destroys the nervous system.

0:29:29 > 0:29:32And did you know that both parents had to carry the dormant gene

0:29:32 > 0:29:33for Charlie to be affected?

0:29:35 > 0:29:38I thought that Charlie was an IVF baby?

0:29:38 > 0:29:41They didn't test for genetic disorders back then,

0:29:41 > 0:29:43and Charlie presented pretty late, at age seven.

0:29:46 > 0:29:48We had no idea what lay ahead of us.

0:29:48 > 0:29:49And his mum?

0:29:55 > 0:30:02She died...suddenly of an aneurysm.

0:30:02 > 0:30:06Here one minute and gone the next.

0:30:06 > 0:30:08At least she had eight good years with him.

0:30:11 > 0:30:13That's what keeps me going.

0:30:13 > 0:30:15We tried so hard to have him.

0:30:15 > 0:30:17I can't just give up on Charlie now...

0:30:17 > 0:30:20This is our chance -

0:30:20 > 0:30:23none of the other docs can do anything for him.

0:30:23 > 0:30:26I've tried everything on top of the pills, from...

0:30:26 > 0:30:30Well, you name it, from homeopathy to psychic surgery.

0:30:30 > 0:30:33I know, but it's no more, really,

0:30:33 > 0:30:37than this miracle Gaskell's offering us.

0:30:37 > 0:30:39Well, we're hoping that the gene therapy treatment can

0:30:39 > 0:30:42stop the MPS III in its tracks,

0:30:42 > 0:30:44and reverse and repair the nerve damage.

0:30:44 > 0:30:46And what if it doesn't?

0:30:49 > 0:30:52I know that one day I'm going to have to bury Charlie, too.

0:30:56 > 0:31:01Ah, don't listen to this sad sack.

0:31:01 > 0:31:04It's not fair of me to be putting all this on you.

0:31:04 > 0:31:07I have to be realistic.

0:31:07 > 0:31:11I'm sure Charlie's not the only deserving case you've seen today.

0:31:15 > 0:31:19Oliver isn't progressing in the way I'd have hoped for.

0:31:19 > 0:31:22So that's why you're here?

0:31:22 > 0:31:25Fear of failure. You want a second opinion.

0:31:25 > 0:31:28Hanssen's locked himself away. I'm next the best thing, right?

0:31:28 > 0:31:29It's not like that.

0:31:29 > 0:31:33Rox, you are the most gifted, innovative neurosurgeon

0:31:33 > 0:31:34I've ever met.

0:31:34 > 0:31:37If anybody can help him, it's you. Why the crisis of confidence?

0:31:42 > 0:31:45I need to make this right, John.

0:31:45 > 0:31:47Oh, well, at least you're doing something about it.

0:31:47 > 0:31:48You're not hiding yourself away.

0:31:48 > 0:31:52It's good to have something to focus on, cathartic even...

0:31:52 > 0:31:55You've seen no improvement in Mr Valentine?

0:31:55 > 0:31:58A little. It comes and goes.

0:31:58 > 0:32:01Well, then you're already winning.

0:32:01 > 0:32:02That's all we can ask for, right?

0:32:10 > 0:32:13Patient is in VT.

0:32:13 > 0:32:15No, sorry...

0:32:15 > 0:32:18Slight ST depression.

0:32:18 > 0:32:19Possible cardiac event.

0:32:19 > 0:32:21Are you sure you're OK, Ollie? Cos if you're tired...

0:32:21 > 0:32:23I'm good.

0:32:25 > 0:32:27- Toxicology? - You know they take forever.

0:32:27 > 0:32:29CT scan?

0:32:29 > 0:32:30She's with radiology right now.

0:32:30 > 0:32:32Look, why don't I just leave you to it?

0:32:32 > 0:32:34Cardiac bloods will help back up your theory.

0:32:34 > 0:32:37You'll need a doctor to authorise them, though.

0:32:39 > 0:32:41I know just the girl.

0:32:43 > 0:32:45MACHINE WHIRS

0:32:45 > 0:32:49Lucky for Larry, his coronary arteries are still graftable.

0:32:49 > 0:32:50Looks like we have company.

0:32:53 > 0:32:55- INTERCOM BEEPS - Hello. Can you hear me?

0:32:55 > 0:32:56Bit busy, here, Fletch.

0:32:56 > 0:32:57Yeah, I know.

0:32:57 > 0:32:59Look, I just wanted to wish you luck

0:32:59 > 0:33:01cos, you know, I really need him in one piece.

0:33:01 > 0:33:03We will do our best.

0:33:03 > 0:33:04I know.

0:33:04 > 0:33:06He's just been telling me all about early mod culture,

0:33:06 > 0:33:10and, well, I just can't imagine Raf whizzing about on a scooter

0:33:10 > 0:33:11in his fishtail parka.

0:33:11 > 0:33:12Fletch!

0:33:12 > 0:33:14OK, I'll shut up.

0:33:14 > 0:33:15Is he always like this?

0:33:17 > 0:33:19OK. Ready to come off bypass.

0:33:21 > 0:33:23MACHINE'S WHIRRING SLOWS DOWN

0:33:27 > 0:33:28MACHINE CHIMES

0:33:28 > 0:33:31OK, he's fibrillating. Let's have the paddles.

0:33:31 > 0:33:32Charge to 10, please.

0:33:34 > 0:33:36BUZZING

0:33:36 > 0:33:39Clear. PADDLE THUMPS

0:33:40 > 0:33:41No. Charge to 20, please.

0:33:41 > 0:33:44BEEPING AND BUZZING

0:33:44 > 0:33:46Clear. PADDLE THUMPS

0:33:46 > 0:33:48MACHINE CHIMES

0:33:49 > 0:33:52No. Let's get him back on bypass, quickly, please.

0:33:52 > 0:33:54MACHINE WHIRS

0:33:55 > 0:33:56Dr McKendrick, a word?

0:33:59 > 0:34:02I need you to order cardiac bloods for Anita, pronto.

0:34:02 > 0:34:04Are you sure that's necessary?

0:34:04 > 0:34:06I can't overrule a consultant, but I can go to him

0:34:06 > 0:34:08with concrete proof that he's made a bad call.

0:34:08 > 0:34:11Donna, I've already gone behind Mr Levy's back today.

0:34:11 > 0:34:13You're going to have to count me out of this one.

0:34:13 > 0:34:17If Anita is suffering from a cardiac event, it means that you weren't the one to mess up.

0:34:23 > 0:34:25- How long has he been like this? - Been like what?

0:34:25 > 0:34:27The symptoms. Charlie, wake up! Wake up! Charlie!

0:34:27 > 0:34:30Whoa, what's the problem here? Just let him sleep!

0:34:30 > 0:34:33Your son's MRI shows an abscess on the brain, just above the left ear,

0:34:33 > 0:34:35which explains the slurred speech, the right-sided weakness

0:34:35 > 0:34:38that Nurse Di Lucca told me of. Has he been feeling dizzy recently?

0:34:38 > 0:34:41Er, a little bit, but this is a recent thing.

0:34:41 > 0:34:44The GP's had him on antibiotics for an ear infection.

0:34:44 > 0:34:45Why didn't you tell us?

0:34:45 > 0:34:47I-I didn't think it was that big a deal.

0:34:47 > 0:34:50- I thought it was under control. - Get him prepped for emergency theatre.

0:34:58 > 0:34:59Um, hi?

0:34:59 > 0:35:03So, why is it taking so long for her to get her scan done?

0:35:03 > 0:35:04Yeah, I'm sorry about that.

0:35:06 > 0:35:07She should be back soon.

0:35:07 > 0:35:10It's just...

0:35:10 > 0:35:13Been through so much to get here. You know?

0:35:14 > 0:35:17Anita only came out to her parents six months ago.

0:35:17 > 0:35:20Wow. How did they take the news?

0:35:20 > 0:35:23Badly! I don't want to take her from her family.

0:35:23 > 0:35:26I've been trying for the last few months

0:35:26 > 0:35:28to bring her folks round, on the QT.

0:35:28 > 0:35:30Anita hasn't got a clue.

0:35:30 > 0:35:32That's really sweet.

0:35:32 > 0:35:35They're coming to the wedding.

0:35:35 > 0:35:37That's great! So, it's all been worth it, right?

0:35:37 > 0:35:40Yeah, it's meant to be a big surprise for Anita.

0:35:40 > 0:35:43But everything I've worked so hard for is going to be ruined

0:35:43 > 0:35:45if we have to cancel.

0:35:45 > 0:35:48Why don't we just focus on getting Anita well, for now?

0:35:48 > 0:35:50Well, obviously.

0:35:51 > 0:35:54Do Anita's parents know about her procedure?

0:35:54 > 0:35:56We didn't want to worry them.

0:35:56 > 0:35:58Why don't you call them in?

0:35:58 > 0:36:02You can do the big reveal here and the wedding can wait, if necessary.

0:36:02 > 0:36:05Oh, my God, I didn't even think about that!

0:36:10 > 0:36:12We will fix this.

0:36:12 > 0:36:13You're learning, my girl!

0:36:13 > 0:36:15Yeah, the hard way.

0:36:15 > 0:36:17Let's get those bloods ordered.

0:36:17 > 0:36:20Thank you.

0:36:20 > 0:36:21Ric's going to call you shortly.

0:36:21 > 0:36:24- You can take it in my office.- OK.

0:36:27 > 0:36:29I'm afraid this little issue

0:36:29 > 0:36:32will almost certainly exclude Charlie from the trials.

0:36:32 > 0:36:33Why?

0:36:33 > 0:36:36The gene therapy can affect his immune system,

0:36:36 > 0:36:40and with an infection on board, the treatment could prove fatal.

0:36:40 > 0:36:43Surely with antibiotics he'll be infection-free within the week?

0:36:43 > 0:36:46If the abscess doesn't re-establish itself.

0:36:48 > 0:36:50Could be months before he gets the all-clear.

0:36:52 > 0:36:55I was going to put him forward for the short list.

0:36:55 > 0:36:56On what grounds?

0:36:56 > 0:37:00His youth, positive attitude, the slow progression of his illness.

0:37:00 > 0:37:02All of them good reasons,

0:37:02 > 0:37:05but would you really want me to risk his life?

0:37:05 > 0:37:08I think when there's a desire to proceed, they should be given a fighting chance.

0:37:08 > 0:37:10You want my heart to rule my head?

0:37:10 > 0:37:13I think they match all other criteria,

0:37:13 > 0:37:15and the choice to proceed or not should be theirs,

0:37:15 > 0:37:17once they are given the additional risks.

0:37:17 > 0:37:19- Chris would understand. - No, he won't.

0:37:19 > 0:37:22He'll blame himself for making the wrong call.

0:37:22 > 0:37:25Believe me, it's better the decision is taken away from him.

0:37:25 > 0:37:27Give him somebody else to blame.

0:37:27 > 0:37:29Time to close.

0:37:33 > 0:37:34Ric, it's a virus.

0:37:34 > 0:37:36What's the worst that can happen, I take a few days off sick?

0:37:36 > 0:37:40I don't want to be responsible for you taking time off work.

0:37:40 > 0:37:43Besides, you've got the kids to think about.

0:37:43 > 0:37:46Those little germ smugglers bring everything home from school!

0:37:46 > 0:37:50Well, really, I'm just not feeling up to any visitors right now.

0:37:50 > 0:37:53Well, I'm coming in and you can't stop me, so...

0:37:53 > 0:37:56Yes, I can, and I have.

0:37:56 > 0:37:59No more visitors until further notice.

0:37:59 > 0:38:02Look, Kofi and Darla, I can understand,

0:38:02 > 0:38:04but you know what I have to deal with every day.

0:38:04 > 0:38:06I can handle this, Ric!

0:38:06 > 0:38:08Donna, I don't want you here, OK?

0:38:08 > 0:38:09Is it me...

0:38:12 > 0:38:14DISCONNECTED TONE

0:38:34 > 0:38:36You have to believe me, I really didn't think it was that big a deal.

0:38:36 > 0:38:39Chris, it's all right, I've drained the abscess.

0:38:39 > 0:38:41- The operation was a success. - But this rules him out of the trial?

0:38:41 > 0:38:46Given this complication, I think the procedure would come with considerable risk.

0:38:46 > 0:38:50I think it would be foolhardy, unethical, even, of me

0:38:50 > 0:38:52to offer Charlie the procedure at this time.

0:38:52 > 0:38:55Please, just mull it over. Just, if there's any way...

0:38:55 > 0:38:57We'll keep him monitored. It's the best we can do at present.

0:38:57 > 0:38:59I'll look in on him later, I promise you.

0:39:03 > 0:39:05John?

0:39:05 > 0:39:08If we get him over this hurdle and relatively healthy,

0:39:08 > 0:39:11is there really no other opportunity to reconsider?

0:39:15 > 0:39:17I want to show you something. Come on.

0:39:25 > 0:39:27How's your patient?

0:39:27 > 0:39:29Still waiting on tests.

0:39:29 > 0:39:30Ah.

0:39:32 > 0:39:36I hope you don't mind, but I know who you are.

0:39:40 > 0:39:42And who might that be?

0:39:42 > 0:39:45You're the doctor who took a bullet for...

0:39:47 > 0:39:49I'm sorry, I...

0:39:52 > 0:39:54..I can't imagine what you've been through,

0:39:54 > 0:39:56what you're going through, even. I...

0:39:59 > 0:40:02..I thought it might help if you knew what people were saying.

0:40:02 > 0:40:06How brave you are for helping your colleagues like that...

0:40:06 > 0:40:08Anita's cardiac bloods are back.

0:40:14 > 0:40:17Ollie, sorry, but we're kind of up against it here.

0:40:27 > 0:40:30- Have you seen these results? - No.

0:40:30 > 0:40:32Then why the hell are you blathering nonsense at me

0:40:32 > 0:40:37when you should be focusing on your patient and chasing up these bloods?

0:40:37 > 0:40:41Anita has significant levels of troponin, suggesting...?

0:40:41 > 0:40:43A cardiac event.

0:40:43 > 0:40:45So, we've got a result, right?

0:40:45 > 0:40:48Not by a long way. This is only half the job.

0:40:48 > 0:40:52Chase up the abdominal CT, to be sure.

0:40:52 > 0:40:55Don't just stand there! Get to Radiology!

0:40:55 > 0:40:58Bang some heads together, if you want to help your patient!

0:40:58 > 0:41:01Ollie, Ollie, it's OK.

0:41:01 > 0:41:02She's a good kid.

0:41:02 > 0:41:04There's no need to speak to her like that.

0:41:08 > 0:41:11You have to understand the magnitude of the task in hand.

0:41:13 > 0:41:16Talking numbers is one thing, actually seeing faces...

0:41:16 > 0:41:20This is when things get a little bit daunting, to say the least.

0:41:20 > 0:41:23I've got 100 Charlies here.

0:41:23 > 0:41:26Harsh as it sounds, right now, this is about survival of the fittest.

0:41:26 > 0:41:29Perhaps in a couple of years, when the treatment's rolled out

0:41:29 > 0:41:32across the country, then we can look for corners we can safely cut.

0:41:32 > 0:41:36He'll have degenerated beyond even your help by then, and you know it.

0:41:36 > 0:41:38Wouldn't you rather give him the time,

0:41:38 > 0:41:40the quality of life, rather than run the risk of...

0:41:40 > 0:41:43Do you know the circumstances of how he lost his mum?

0:41:43 > 0:41:46Do you understand the psychological pressure that Chris is under?

0:41:46 > 0:41:49I know everything about both of them.

0:41:49 > 0:41:52One of the reasons they've made it so far.

0:41:52 > 0:41:54But this abscess is a game-changer,

0:41:54 > 0:41:56the sooner you understand that, the better.

0:41:59 > 0:42:02Look, it's only natural a parent is going to want their child to grow

0:42:02 > 0:42:05up to be a fit, healthy adult.

0:42:05 > 0:42:06Sadly, in this case, it cannot be.

0:42:06 > 0:42:08Only because you say so.

0:42:09 > 0:42:11Do you think this is easy for me?

0:42:11 > 0:42:14I know these people, I've spent time with them.

0:42:14 > 0:42:15Far more than you have today.

0:42:16 > 0:42:18Let me put it another way.

0:42:18 > 0:42:21You break the rules for this one patient,

0:42:21 > 0:42:24all of these candidates may miss out on the opportunity of a cure.

0:42:24 > 0:42:26You would willingly sacrifice their chances

0:42:26 > 0:42:28for the sake of one boy?

0:42:33 > 0:42:36MONITOR BEEPS STEADILY

0:42:36 > 0:42:38Right, I've seen enough.

0:42:38 > 0:42:40Let's get her under and get her prepped for emergency surgery.

0:42:40 > 0:42:44Please, take a look at this before you make a hasty decision.

0:42:44 > 0:42:47- What are these? I didn't order these.- Um...

0:42:53 > 0:42:56This changes nothing. She still has an anastomotic leak.

0:42:56 > 0:42:59Got the abdominal CT scan results at last!

0:43:15 > 0:43:16Change of plan.

0:43:16 > 0:43:21Let's get her to Darwin, ASAP. She needs a cardiac intervention.

0:43:21 > 0:43:23Sacha...

0:43:31 > 0:43:33I'm sorry, but you have to look at the positives.

0:43:33 > 0:43:35If that abscess had been left unchecked...

0:43:35 > 0:43:37What's an abscess?

0:43:37 > 0:43:40Think of a big, gooey spot, but it was on the inside of your head.

0:43:40 > 0:43:41That sounds well serious!

0:43:41 > 0:43:44It could have been, but now it's gone.

0:43:44 > 0:43:47We'll keep you in for a few days, just make sure there's no more spots.

0:43:47 > 0:43:50Your speech is already improving. How's your right side?

0:43:53 > 0:43:55Cheap shot!

0:43:55 > 0:43:57You snooze, you lose.

0:43:57 > 0:43:59Would I have died if you didn't find it?

0:44:02 > 0:44:03Well, we did find it.

0:44:05 > 0:44:07And that's the most important thing.

0:44:13 > 0:44:16I know you're disappointed about the trial, but if you hadn't been here,

0:44:16 > 0:44:19we wouldn't have found the abscess and things might have turned out a lot differently.

0:44:19 > 0:44:21Don't think I'm not grateful. But if there's going to be

0:44:21 > 0:44:24any chance of a second phase, we'd like to be part of it.

0:44:24 > 0:44:27If Charlie's condition persists, if he deteriorates further...

0:44:27 > 0:44:31If we can make this trial successful, then who knows what's possible?

0:44:31 > 0:44:33Maybe we can roll out the treatment to further candidates.

0:44:33 > 0:44:36- Then you'd possibly reconsider? - Well, I'd like to see Charlie again.

0:44:42 > 0:44:46MONITOR BEEPS STEADILY

0:44:49 > 0:44:52You gave Ms Naylor quite a fright in there.

0:44:52 > 0:44:54But she pulled you through.

0:44:56 > 0:44:57Larry?

0:44:58 > 0:45:00You all right there, mate?

0:45:04 > 0:45:05I'm here.

0:45:07 > 0:45:09I'm eternally grateful.

0:45:10 > 0:45:11Fletch...

0:45:13 > 0:45:16..I'm anonymous in this building.

0:45:18 > 0:45:21I visit a ward, sit by a bedside...

0:45:23 > 0:45:25..and no-one so much as notices me.

0:45:26 > 0:45:28But that is a skill in itself.

0:45:28 > 0:45:32I get pestered from the moment my alarm clock goes off!

0:45:32 > 0:45:34I hear...

0:45:36 > 0:45:37..what people are saying about you.

0:45:39 > 0:45:42I bet it's not, "That young, dashing Director of Nursing can park

0:45:42 > 0:45:45"his shoes at the end of my bed any night of the week he wants."

0:45:46 > 0:45:48HE COUGHS

0:45:48 > 0:45:51OK. All right. Take it easy. You need to just take it easy.

0:45:59 > 0:46:05Do you really think Raf would want you...

0:46:05 > 0:46:10..banging heads about lost IDs and jammed-open doors?

0:46:11 > 0:46:15The man who killed your friend...

0:46:16 > 0:46:20..was also a medic, I understand.

0:46:20 > 0:46:22So, who could have stopped him?

0:46:24 > 0:46:28Do you think that Raf would want you acting like this?

0:46:41 > 0:46:43You've helped me out a lot today.

0:46:43 > 0:46:46With the records and with... Well...

0:46:46 > 0:46:51Actually, very weirdly...

0:46:53 > 0:46:54..I've enjoyed your company.

0:46:56 > 0:47:00Maybe...I should get out more!

0:47:12 > 0:47:14KNOCK AT DOOR Come in.

0:47:16 > 0:47:19Mr Levy, can I ask you something?

0:47:19 > 0:47:24- You said I needed to learn... - Of course, yeah, fire away.

0:47:27 > 0:47:31Why were you still going to perform the emergency surgery on Anita

0:47:31 > 0:47:34when you knew about the cardiac problem?

0:47:34 > 0:47:36The anaesthesia could have killed her, right?

0:47:39 > 0:47:45Sometimes, Nicky, as surgeons, we have to take risks.

0:47:45 > 0:47:48If we hadn't have looked for the sepsis and it was there,

0:47:48 > 0:47:50then that would have killed her for certain.

0:47:52 > 0:47:55Then you turned up like the cavalry

0:47:55 > 0:47:56and you saved the day!

0:48:00 > 0:48:04I'm really sorry for going behind your back.

0:48:05 > 0:48:09Out of interest, why did you?

0:48:09 > 0:48:11Well...

0:48:13 > 0:48:15- ..Donna... - It's all right.

0:48:15 > 0:48:17It's all right.

0:48:20 > 0:48:22There are some consultants

0:48:22 > 0:48:25who would have had you hung, drawn and quartered

0:48:25 > 0:48:26for what you did.

0:48:28 > 0:48:32But I like to chalk it up to experience,

0:48:32 > 0:48:34and maybe we could both learn from it.

0:48:34 > 0:48:35KNOCK AT DOOR

0:48:37 > 0:48:40Anita is stable and in recovery.

0:48:40 > 0:48:41Thank you.

0:48:50 > 0:48:52I'm guessing this was your work.

0:48:52 > 0:48:55I'm so sorry. I couldn't stand by and do nothing.

0:48:56 > 0:48:59Listen, thank heavens you did.

0:49:01 > 0:49:03Because if you hadn't...

0:49:07 > 0:49:09Anyway...

0:49:09 > 0:49:11..thank you.

0:49:11 > 0:49:15The pressure we're all under - you, Ric, all of us -

0:49:15 > 0:49:16it's not fair.

0:49:16 > 0:49:19You know there have to be protocols in place for the protection of patients.

0:49:19 > 0:49:21And who protects us?

0:49:21 > 0:49:24Just ourselves, I'm afraid.

0:49:41 > 0:49:44Do you think my master plan's working?

0:49:44 > 0:49:47If I had any idea what you were talking about, I'd answer you.

0:49:47 > 0:49:49I was hoping that Raf's record collection would help him

0:49:49 > 0:49:52reconnect with what Raf was all about.

0:49:52 > 0:49:53You know, get him talking about him and...

0:49:53 > 0:49:55You sent them?

0:49:55 > 0:49:59After the shooting, I'm concerned about him emotionally.

0:49:59 > 0:50:01I'm concerned about him mentally!

0:50:02 > 0:50:05I think we're all dealing with what happened in different ways.

0:50:05 > 0:50:07What's your secret?

0:50:08 > 0:50:10I wear a lot of waterproof mascara.

0:50:10 > 0:50:12PAGER BEEPS

0:50:12 > 0:50:16Excuse me. No rest for the wicked. I need to be elsewhere.

0:50:16 > 0:50:19You might be on to something with the records.

0:50:20 > 0:50:22- Essie?- Mm-hm?

0:50:22 > 0:50:25I know I'm not the caring, sharing kind,

0:50:25 > 0:50:28but if you ever need to rant, get anything off your chest...

0:50:28 > 0:50:31- I'll speak to Fletch.- Good idea. I'm really bad at that stuff.

0:50:36 > 0:50:37What did you do to upset Oliver?

0:50:37 > 0:50:39My curiosity, I think.

0:50:41 > 0:50:43We'd been getting on, up until that point.

0:50:43 > 0:50:45He's really helped us out today.

0:50:45 > 0:50:46KNOCK AT DOOR

0:50:46 > 0:50:48You wanted to see me?

0:50:48 > 0:50:49Mr Levy's looking for you.

0:50:53 > 0:50:55What are your thoughts on what happened with Ollie?

0:50:55 > 0:50:58We got some really good stuff out of him today.

0:50:58 > 0:51:02So, he actively engaged with a junior doctor on a diagnosis?

0:51:02 > 0:51:05Yeah. He helped Nicky and Nicky helped me.

0:51:05 > 0:51:08So, Ollie had memory issues?

0:51:08 > 0:51:10"Had" is an interesting choice of word.

0:51:10 > 0:51:14Well, he remembered a tachycardia case where a patient had taken

0:51:14 > 0:51:16slimming pills that had given her a heart issue.

0:51:16 > 0:51:19Turned out our patient had done the same thing.

0:51:29 > 0:51:31These are supposed to be gone.

0:51:31 > 0:51:34You won't even notice they were here by the time you grace us with your presence in the morning.

0:51:34 > 0:51:38If I can get past security. Will it be strip searches tomorrow?

0:51:38 > 0:51:40Yeah, I've reigned it in a bit.

0:51:40 > 0:51:43I've ditched the weapons' arch and the corridor in lockdown.

0:51:43 > 0:51:46See you've found your ID, though.

0:51:46 > 0:51:48So, what are you going to do with this little lot?

0:51:48 > 0:51:51Well, I was going to keep it all,

0:51:51 > 0:51:55but then I realised that's probably not why Raf wanted me to have it.

0:51:55 > 0:51:58He said in his letter that I'd know what to do with them.

0:51:58 > 0:52:00- Which is? - Finish what he started.

0:52:01 > 0:52:07Larry...seems to think this could be a full compilation

0:52:07 > 0:52:10of the Mod scene in the '60s - before it got big!

0:52:10 > 0:52:12Good for Larry.

0:52:12 > 0:52:14And it'll be worth a fortune if it is.

0:52:14 > 0:52:17You're going to cash them in? That's a bit mercenary.

0:52:17 > 0:52:20Not if it's going to Raf's favourite charity, it's not.

0:52:20 > 0:52:24I just hope, fingers crossed, that it's all there.

0:52:33 > 0:52:35Every man needs a hobby.

0:52:35 > 0:52:37We'll get season tickets.

0:52:37 > 0:52:39Go to every game we can, home and away.

0:52:41 > 0:52:44And as soon as we get back, I'm booking Rome, too.

0:52:46 > 0:52:50We'll do the Coliseum together, just like we always planned.

0:52:54 > 0:52:55Life starts here, mate.

0:52:57 > 0:52:59- VOICE BREAKING:- You and me.

0:52:59 > 0:53:01Cardio have done their thing

0:53:01 > 0:53:03and as long as you stay off the diet pills,

0:53:03 > 0:53:05there's no reason why you shouldn't make a full recovery.

0:53:05 > 0:53:07Stupid of me.

0:53:07 > 0:53:09I just wanted everything to be perfect for Mel.

0:53:09 > 0:53:12Why would you want to be anything different?

0:53:12 > 0:53:16It's pretty obvious what you two have is kind of special.

0:53:16 > 0:53:19Been looking everywhere for you! I went up to Darwin,

0:53:19 > 0:53:21they said you weren't there. What happened to you?

0:53:21 > 0:53:24All you need to know is that we fixed her.

0:53:26 > 0:53:29I've-I've got some visitors for you...

0:53:31 > 0:53:34Oh, no way, why have you brought them here? They'll just...

0:53:34 > 0:53:36Anita, listen to me.

0:53:36 > 0:53:39- I've fixed this.- How?

0:53:39 > 0:53:41I just refused to give up on them.

0:53:41 > 0:53:44Like I refused to give up on you.

0:54:00 > 0:54:01Come.

0:54:02 > 0:54:06You didn't tell me ALL about your day.

0:54:06 > 0:54:10You solved a medical case here on AAU?

0:54:10 > 0:54:12I didn't think you'd approve.

0:54:12 > 0:54:17You recalled a previous patient that helped them resolve the issue.

0:54:17 > 0:54:20Ollie, this is real progress.

0:54:20 > 0:54:22Are you proud of me?

0:54:22 > 0:54:25Very. I believe your brain is beginning to remap.

0:54:27 > 0:54:30Maybe being around some familiar faces has been good for you today.

0:54:30 > 0:54:34The doctor...I shouted at...

0:54:34 > 0:54:36..should I apologise?

0:54:36 > 0:54:38Do you remember her name?

0:54:54 > 0:54:55Nicky.

0:55:08 > 0:55:10Ric's refusing to see me.

0:55:14 > 0:55:16He must have his reasons.

0:55:20 > 0:55:22I don't care what he says.

0:55:22 > 0:55:25I've let him down, that's the reason he's in this mess.

0:55:27 > 0:55:30No, that's not true. That's never been the case.

0:55:30 > 0:55:34He needs to know he has our full support.

0:55:36 > 0:55:37We're doing everything we can.

0:55:40 > 0:55:42He's scared, Sacha.

0:55:43 > 0:55:45I heard it in his voice.

0:55:46 > 0:55:51So, he needs to know that I will never give up on him.

0:55:56 > 0:55:58You don't think you were being overly optimistic

0:55:58 > 0:56:00- about a quick roll-out? - They believe in you.

0:56:00 > 0:56:02You're the last-stop cafe for them.

0:56:02 > 0:56:06Essie, didn't I make it clear emotion has no place in this room?

0:56:06 > 0:56:09I need staff with realistic expectations.

0:56:09 > 0:56:11With all due respect,

0:56:11 > 0:56:14positivity is a key ingredient to patient recovery,

0:56:14 > 0:56:16and a cornerstone of my practice.

0:56:16 > 0:56:18If we don't believe, then what are they meant to think?

0:56:18 > 0:56:20You're a determined woman.

0:56:20 > 0:56:22I've read your papers.

0:56:22 > 0:56:24And you come with some reputation, John,

0:56:24 > 0:56:27but forgive me if I need to see things with my own eyes,

0:56:27 > 0:56:29to see what you can do, especially after today's experience...

0:56:29 > 0:56:33Essie, I know your heart's in the right place,

0:56:33 > 0:56:37but all you've given them is smoke and mirrors.

0:56:37 > 0:56:39OK, let me ask you this.

0:56:39 > 0:56:40Would you even be here

0:56:40 > 0:56:42if you didn't believe you could help them?

0:56:42 > 0:56:46I've given a dying boy and his father hope of a future.

0:56:46 > 0:56:49One that you realistically could give them, given the circumstances.

0:56:49 > 0:56:51Do you want them to walk away with nothing?

0:56:54 > 0:56:55I know you care,

0:56:55 > 0:56:58but I'm sorry, your philosophy is wrong.

0:56:58 > 0:57:01You have brought a minor miracle to this hospital,

0:57:01 > 0:57:03and now you're scared to use it.

0:57:07 > 0:57:11This has been a lonely journey for me so far.

0:57:12 > 0:57:16I think I could use some of your forthright company

0:57:16 > 0:57:19on the next, most treacherous, of legs.

0:57:19 > 0:57:21Well, I'm glad you feel that way.

0:57:23 > 0:57:26You haven't just got my money.

0:57:26 > 0:57:29You've got my mind, heart and soul.

0:57:29 > 0:57:31I fully believe in what you're trying to achieve,

0:57:31 > 0:57:33but I don't just want to save a few lives -

0:57:33 > 0:57:37I think, together, you and I could change all these people's lives,

0:57:37 > 0:57:39and more.
