0:00:15 > 0:00:18MACHINES BEEP
0:00:44 > 0:00:47- Doctor Sutton. - One, two, three.
0:01:21 > 0:01:22- Hello, sister.- Hi.
0:01:44 > 0:01:46Oh, streaking again, Maggie?
0:01:46 > 0:01:48You're giving my poor men heart attacks.
0:01:48 > 0:01:50Let's get a blanket on you, sweetheart.
0:01:50 > 0:01:52Hey, you're freezing.
0:01:52 > 0:01:54Sit down there.
0:01:56 > 0:01:59- Sorry.- It's all right, it's them awful water tablets
0:01:59 > 0:02:01they insist on putting you on.
0:02:01 > 0:02:04I blame the doctors.
0:02:04 > 0:02:06Right.
0:02:10 > 0:02:12HEART MONITOR ALARM
0:02:12 > 0:02:14Oh, shit! We need access.
0:02:14 > 0:02:17Lilly, can you get a pink cannula? No, blue, blue!
0:02:17 > 0:02:18Back in a second.
0:02:21 > 0:02:25Shit! I can't get it! I need another one!
0:02:25 > 0:02:28- PANICKED:- I can't get the vein. Where is it? Where is it?
0:02:28 > 0:02:30HEART MONITOR FLATLINES
0:02:30 > 0:02:32Right, step away.
0:02:32 > 0:02:35I don't know what you think you're playing at but we need to start CPR.
0:02:35 > 0:02:38Sue, make sure the crash call's gone out.
0:02:41 > 0:02:43Alex, come and help Lilly with ventilation
0:02:43 > 0:02:46and get the nose ready as well.
0:02:50 > 0:02:51What do you want me to do?
0:02:51 > 0:02:54Go call a doctor.
0:03:13 > 0:03:15There you go.
0:03:17 > 0:03:20Listen, from what you've already told me, this could be a big story.
0:03:20 > 0:03:22What hard evidence do you have?
0:03:26 > 0:03:29I kept a record. Names and dates.
0:03:36 > 0:03:39All these people?
0:03:39 > 0:03:40All these people.
0:03:40 > 0:03:42Christ!
0:03:42 > 0:03:44- If this is true, then...- It is true.
0:03:44 > 0:03:47..then, yeah, the paper would definitely want to use it.
0:03:47 > 0:03:49And you're prepared to go public?
0:03:49 > 0:03:51- It's all there, I promise. - I can see that,
0:03:51 > 0:03:55but a story like this lives or dies on a personal angle.
0:03:55 > 0:03:57What I mean is, this isn't enough.
0:03:57 > 0:04:00The Express will need you too. Pictures, a feature.
0:04:00 > 0:04:02Cath Hardacre, witness to the truth.
0:04:02 > 0:04:05The shocking neglect of patients at the Sheffield Alderman Hospital.
0:04:05 > 0:04:06If I blow the whistle like this,
0:04:06 > 0:04:09the Trust will do everything to try and discredit you.
0:04:09 > 0:04:11But if it's the truth?
0:04:11 > 0:04:14Then the only option they have is to play trash the witness.
0:04:14 > 0:04:16I just want you to know what you're getting into.
0:04:16 > 0:04:18- What if I stay anonymous?- No-go.
0:04:18 > 0:04:23There's no credibility and the story will die on its arse. I need you.
0:04:23 > 0:04:25I've got a kid. I can't risk losing my job.
0:04:25 > 0:04:27You clearly believe in what you're doing.
0:04:27 > 0:04:30Don't you think these people deserve the truth?
0:04:34 > 0:04:38This was a mistake. I'm sorry to waste your time.
0:04:38 > 0:04:39You're right, I...
0:04:39 > 0:04:42I need to be heard, but I should have given this to the Trust.
0:04:42 > 0:04:45- I need to do it the right way. - Well, if you change your mind...
0:04:47 > 0:04:50Take it and good luck.
0:05:08 > 0:05:10- RADIO:- ..staffing crisis in A&E.
0:05:10 > 0:05:13The latest figures reveal a fresh exodus...
0:05:18 > 0:05:20- Here you go, sweetheart.- Thank you.
0:05:20 > 0:05:22KNOCK ON WINDOW
0:05:22 > 0:05:24Daddy!
0:05:28 > 0:05:29Thought you weren't coming.
0:05:29 > 0:05:31Don't it start at six?
0:05:31 > 0:05:33She's really looking forward to it.
0:05:33 > 0:05:35You can come in.
0:05:37 > 0:05:40Yeah, about that...
0:05:40 > 0:05:42New clutch is 90 minimum.
0:05:42 > 0:05:46- Then there's labour... - It's a crappy film, that's all.
0:05:46 > 0:05:48And, bless her, she's happy with that.
0:05:48 > 0:05:51Can you tell her?
0:05:51 > 0:05:53You know I hate letting her down.
0:06:07 > 0:06:09How was your day? Good?
0:06:09 > 0:06:12Had some fun? Colouring?
0:06:25 > 0:06:28Obviously this places the Trust in a very difficult position.
0:06:28 > 0:06:30These allegations of negligence...
0:06:30 > 0:06:31There are others I can get details for.
0:06:31 > 0:06:34..have all been fully investigated by the Trust.
0:06:37 > 0:06:40This board sees no reason to look into these claims any further.
0:06:42 > 0:06:46However, concerns have been raised about you by other members of staff.
0:06:48 > 0:06:49- I'm sorry? - In the last six months,
0:06:49 > 0:06:53I have received three separate reports of bullying...
0:06:54 > 0:06:58- That's ridiculous.- ..including use of disrespectful language,
0:06:58 > 0:07:00refusing to let your staff leave on time...
0:07:00 > 0:07:03I expect my nurses to complete the tasks that I set them.
0:07:03 > 0:07:06..and humiliating junior doctors.
0:07:09 > 0:07:11I'm sorry, WHO'S complained?
0:07:11 > 0:07:13They have a right to confidentiality.
0:07:13 > 0:07:16- So I can't know who's accusing me? - That is Trust policy.
0:07:16 > 0:07:18Is it also Trust policy to allow
0:07:18 > 0:07:20patients to lie for hours in soiled sheets?
0:07:20 > 0:07:22Or leave them without food or water?
0:07:22 > 0:07:24Or send them home to die?
0:07:24 > 0:07:27I'm sorry you feel that way, Sister Hardacre,
0:07:27 > 0:07:29but it doesn't change the decision of this panel.
0:07:29 > 0:07:33You're suspended pending formal investigation.
0:07:34 > 0:07:38And if the allegations I listed are upheld,
0:07:38 > 0:07:41there is likely to be further action.
0:07:55 > 0:07:58ERRATIC BREATHING
0:08:47 > 0:08:50- ANSWERPHONE:- Hi, you've reached Sam Kelly, Sheffield Express.
0:08:50 > 0:08:52Leave a message.
0:08:52 > 0:08:55BANG ON DOOR
0:09:00 > 0:09:02I knew it!
0:09:05 > 0:09:08So, let's see this so-called tonsillitis.
0:09:08 > 0:09:10Open up, say "aah" for the doctor.
0:09:10 > 0:09:12It's not been the greatest of months.
0:09:12 > 0:09:14I know you'd try and bail on me, Hardy.
0:09:14 > 0:09:15It's your best friend's leaving party
0:09:15 > 0:09:18and you're seriously spending Friday night on the couch?
0:09:18 > 0:09:22- Dead or alive, you're coming with me.- Oh, God!
0:09:23 > 0:09:26PARTY MUSIC PLAYS
0:09:34 > 0:09:36GLASSES CHINK
0:09:36 > 0:09:38I want to thank you all for coming.
0:09:38 > 0:09:42Clearly, Doctor Alison Sutton finally leaving the country
0:09:42 > 0:09:43is something worth celebrating.
0:09:43 > 0:09:46- CHEERS - I'm going to miss you all.
0:09:46 > 0:09:49However, when a sheep farmer as gorgeous as this one asks you
0:09:49 > 0:09:54to marry him, you don't say no.
0:09:54 > 0:09:57But one thing I'm not going to miss is my terrible bloody job.
0:09:57 > 0:10:01Believe me, don't let your worst enemy become an ED doctor.
0:10:01 > 0:10:03So I'd like to say goodbye to all the pissheads,
0:10:03 > 0:10:07drug casualties, weak-ankled whingers and all the people who
0:10:07 > 0:10:11thought they'd "just get it checked out" at 11.30 on a Friday night!
0:10:11 > 0:10:13LAUGHTER
0:10:13 > 0:10:18After 20 years at the sodding coal face, I finally got out,
0:10:18 > 0:10:20so I'd like to propose a toast.
0:10:20 > 0:10:22Fuck the NHS!
0:10:22 > 0:10:24ALL: Fuck the NHS!
0:10:31 > 0:10:33- I can't take all this.- You have to.
0:10:33 > 0:10:35Lovely Grant won't even let me pack it.
0:10:35 > 0:10:38Says Zara isn't remotely practical on the boat.
0:10:38 > 0:10:40You have no idea how long I had to fight for bloody Boden!
0:10:40 > 0:10:42I don't need charity.
0:10:42 > 0:10:44It's yours or I dump it in Cancer Research.
0:10:44 > 0:10:47eBay it all. Splurge on another lesbian skirt if you want.
0:10:47 > 0:10:49I don't care.
0:10:50 > 0:10:52Ah, I've had enough.
0:10:52 > 0:10:55Oh, can you stop it with the teetotal guilt trip?
0:10:59 > 0:11:02Can't believe they did that to you.
0:11:02 > 0:11:04This bloody job. Best years of our lives.
0:11:04 > 0:11:07You give it your youth and then it betrays you.
0:11:07 > 0:11:08Worse than any man.
0:11:08 > 0:11:11Worse than Patrick. You should have warned me.
0:11:11 > 0:11:14- I did. You ignored me! - You're my best friend.
0:11:14 > 0:11:17Of course I would have listened to you. I warned you about bloody Carl.
0:11:17 > 0:11:22- He does try.- You're still giving him money, aren't you?
0:11:22 > 0:11:24- I'm not.- You never could lie.
0:11:24 > 0:11:25I can always tell.
0:11:25 > 0:11:29Please, for once, just look after number one.
0:11:31 > 0:11:34Cath, I can't just leave you here like this.
0:11:34 > 0:11:36- What you going to do?- Dunno.
0:11:38 > 0:11:41- Care assistant? - But you're a great nurse.
0:11:41 > 0:11:43God knows, you've got more common sense
0:11:43 > 0:11:46than half the bloody doctors I work with. More sense than me.
0:11:46 > 0:11:49KNOCK ON DOOR
0:11:50 > 0:11:53Anything you ever need from me,
0:11:53 > 0:11:56and I mean ANYTHING, and it's yours.
0:13:24 > 0:13:26Breath in.
0:14:02 > 0:14:04Dad...
0:14:06 > 0:14:08..I think I'm going to be a doctor.
0:14:12 > 0:14:14'It's taken me long enough.'
0:14:18 > 0:14:21- ANNOUNCER:- This is Edinburgh Waverley.
0:14:21 > 0:14:23This train terminates here.
0:14:24 > 0:14:26'So I wouldn't be that far away.
0:14:29 > 0:14:32'Nothing's going to change for you.'
0:14:40 > 0:14:43Be a new start for me and Molly too.
0:14:45 > 0:14:48'It's a chance for a much better life.'
0:14:57 > 0:14:59I've something to prove.
0:15:07 > 0:15:09'I know I'm good enough.'
0:15:27 > 0:15:30SHE EXHALES
0:15:33 > 0:15:36So why the hell are you here?
0:15:36 > 0:15:38- I'm sorry? - This is a bloody great CV.
0:15:38 > 0:15:41You're a highly-qualified doctor.
0:15:41 > 0:15:42Established.
0:15:42 > 0:15:45And yet you just emigrate and arrive on my doorstep begging for work?
0:15:45 > 0:15:47I was looking for a new challenge professionally.
0:15:47 > 0:15:50Yeah, but why here? This is a backward step, surely?
0:15:50 > 0:15:51Let's be honest.
0:15:51 > 0:15:54We both know this isn't exactly the centre of excellence, which means
0:15:54 > 0:15:58you've either killed a patient or, worse, you've pissed someone off.
0:16:01 > 0:16:05Oh, sorry. Sorry, three nights in a row will do that to you.
0:16:05 > 0:16:07OK, rewind, start again.
0:16:07 > 0:16:10You are clearly good at this. Why here?
0:16:21 > 0:16:24You're right. There was something.
0:16:26 > 0:16:29I needed a change.
0:16:29 > 0:16:31I was married.
0:16:31 > 0:16:33There were problems.
0:16:33 > 0:16:35We separated but I have a daughter
0:16:35 > 0:16:38and I didn't want her growing up in the middle of all that.
0:16:40 > 0:16:44I felt like we needed a fresh start, so...
0:16:44 > 0:16:46here I am.
0:16:48 > 0:16:50Shit, um...
0:16:50 > 0:16:52OK, sorry, um...
0:16:54 > 0:16:57Was he violent?
0:16:58 > 0:17:00We're putting the past behind us.
0:17:00 > 0:17:04OK, foot in mouth disease, chronic case. Someone should shoot me!
0:17:07 > 0:17:11OK, look, um, you are by far the best candidate we've had.
0:17:11 > 0:17:12In fact, to be honest,
0:17:12 > 0:17:15you are the only decent middle-grade candidate we've had.
0:17:15 > 0:17:18Are you SURE you want to work here?
0:17:18 > 0:17:20Very much.
0:17:26 > 0:17:29I'll be working as a cardiology nurse.
0:17:29 > 0:17:31So where does that leave me?
0:17:31 > 0:17:33Train fare up there's what, 70 quid?
0:17:33 > 0:17:36- It's more like 100.- Shit!
0:17:38 > 0:17:40You know I can't afford that.
0:17:40 > 0:17:43This job, it's more money straight away.
0:17:43 > 0:17:46No, I want to see her. I've got a right to see her.
0:17:46 > 0:17:48You do and I could have just upped and left with her
0:17:48 > 0:17:51and there's not one person who knows us that would have blamed me,
0:17:51 > 0:17:54but here I am, talking to you.
0:17:56 > 0:17:58It's yearly increments.
0:17:58 > 0:18:01Decent overtime as well, which is why it makes sense for us to travel.
0:18:01 > 0:18:05We'll come down to you and if you're short, maybe I can help.
0:18:05 > 0:18:08I don't need charity. I've never asked.
0:18:10 > 0:18:12Sure.
0:18:16 > 0:18:19I'm doing this for Molly.
0:18:26 > 0:18:28INAUDIBLE
0:18:34 > 0:18:37- So what is this job?- I'm a doctor.
0:18:37 > 0:18:39Accident and Emergency.
0:18:39 > 0:18:43Is that right, aye? I was in there last month, myself.
0:18:43 > 0:18:45Haemorrhoids.
0:18:45 > 0:18:48It's a bit of an occupational hazard.
0:18:54 > 0:18:56Come on, sweetheart.
0:19:01 > 0:19:04Look at this. It's our new home.
0:19:08 > 0:19:10This is us.
0:19:14 > 0:19:16In you go, babe.
0:19:19 > 0:19:21Yeah, go in there, darlin'.
0:19:28 > 0:19:31Oh, Molly, look at this.
0:19:35 > 0:19:37Massive.
0:20:05 > 0:20:08Molly...
0:20:12 > 0:20:13Molly?
0:20:15 > 0:20:18Molly? Molly?
0:20:18 > 0:20:19Molly?
0:20:19 > 0:20:21- WOMAN:- We're up here, love.
0:20:25 > 0:20:28Always try and look after you young doctors when you move in,
0:20:28 > 0:20:29right enough.
0:20:29 > 0:20:33Last year I had a lovely Asian couple, Doctor Singh and his wife.
0:20:35 > 0:20:37So where is it you're working?
0:20:37 > 0:20:39Emergency medicine. A&E.
0:20:39 > 0:20:42- I start tomorrow at South Lothian. - Good for you.
0:20:44 > 0:20:47So where's the other half working?
0:20:47 > 0:20:49It's just me and my daughter. We're not together.
0:20:51 > 0:20:54Happens, I suppose. You modern types.
0:21:08 > 0:21:10E-MAIL ALERT
0:21:54 > 0:21:56SIRENS BLARE
0:22:07 > 0:22:10Data leaks, theft of property, drug fraud.
0:22:10 > 0:22:15In all, we lose over 17 million a year throughout the NHS.
0:22:15 > 0:22:20If you see anything suspicious, report it.
0:22:20 > 0:22:24If you're thinking of stealing anything, I'm watching you.
0:22:41 > 0:22:43INDISTINCT
0:22:43 > 0:22:45You can't show her in theatre yourself?
0:22:45 > 0:22:47Fine, I'll swap you for a directorate meeting.
0:22:47 > 0:22:49- Er, no, you're OK.- Be nice.
0:22:49 > 0:22:52She's gorgeous, ridiculously over-qualified and,
0:22:52 > 0:22:54for some reason, wants to work in St Elsewhere.
0:22:54 > 0:22:55There's got to be a catch here.
0:22:55 > 0:22:59Or maybe, for once, our poor benighted department is not being
0:22:59 > 0:23:01shat on from a great height.
0:23:01 > 0:23:03- Look after her, please.- Will do.
0:23:07 > 0:23:10Doctor Sutton?
0:23:11 > 0:23:14Doctor Sutton?
0:23:14 > 0:23:17- Doctor Sutton?- Ah, hi.
0:23:17 > 0:23:19Hi. Andrew Brenner. Andy.
0:23:19 > 0:23:22Brigitte's in a directorate meeting. She asked me to give you the tour.
0:23:22 > 0:23:25- OK, great. Ally. - Yeah, Bridge filled me in.
0:23:25 > 0:23:28Are you sure about this? It's not too late to turn and run.
0:23:28 > 0:23:30- Won't say a word. - It can't be that bad.
0:23:30 > 0:23:33Well, it's like Braveheart with bad-tempered pensioners
0:23:33 > 0:23:35and that's just Friday night. Watch your back.
0:23:35 > 0:23:38COPD. More short of breath this morning.
0:23:38 > 0:23:41- Just pop him in three. I'll be there in a minute.- OK.
0:23:41 > 0:23:45- OK, shall we make it quick?- Yeah.
0:23:45 > 0:23:47Resus, um...
0:23:47 > 0:23:50Well, it's a pretty standard lay-out.
0:23:50 > 0:23:53It's got a new IO kit, which is kept in this cupboard,
0:23:53 > 0:23:55confusingly marked "IO Kit".
0:23:56 > 0:23:59Jason sponsored-cycled his way to Land's End and back
0:23:59 > 0:24:01just so he could buy a new toy.

0:45:33 > 0:45:36Oh, Brigitte, I'd love to, but I can't really ask Mona to sit again.
0:45:36 > 0:45:41'Oh, Molly's invited. It is Molly, isn't it? My girls will look after her.
0:45:41 > 0:45:43'It's seven for eight.'
0:45:43 > 0:45:45OK, great.
0:45:45 > 0:45:47'Great! See you then.'
0:45:47 > 0:45:48- I'll see you there. - 'Bye.'
0:45:48 > 0:45:50Bye.
0:45:52 > 0:45:55SHE SIGHS
0:46:08 > 0:46:11CHATTER FROM INSIDE
0:46:11 > 0:46:12LAUGHTER
0:46:14 > 0:46:15Come on - let's go.
0:46:18 > 0:46:23Ah, Prosecco - good idea! I've just gone for a bog-standard plonk.
0:46:23 > 0:46:25- Want to swap?- It's only Lidl!
0:46:25 > 0:46:29Thrifty and stylish - you are killing me! Hiya! I'm Charlie.
0:46:29 > 0:46:31I'm Molly.
0:46:31 > 0:46:34See, if you press that button, then a horrible monster
0:46:34 > 0:46:37called Brigitte will come out that door and steal all our drinks!
0:46:37 > 0:46:41- You press it!- Only if I can stand behind you when the monster comes.
0:46:41 > 0:46:42Yeah?
0:46:48 > 0:46:49DOORBELL RINGS
0:46:52 > 0:46:54Hey!
0:46:54 > 0:46:56- Come in!- There you go.
0:46:56 > 0:47:00Oh! Fizz. I love a bottle of fizz.
0:47:00 > 0:47:01Monster!
0:47:01 > 0:47:05I like it when people bring fizz. I'm going to open this right now.
0:47:06 > 0:47:08MUSIC PLAYS
0:47:15 > 0:47:19- Ah, so this is Molly! - Are you going to say hi?
0:47:19 > 0:47:22Hey. Lexi! Isla!
0:47:22 > 0:47:23POP
0:47:23 > 0:47:24Oh! Ooh!
0:47:26 > 0:47:29- Hey. I'm sure Molly would like to see the hamsters.- Hi, I'm Lexi.
0:47:29 > 0:47:32- Hi, Molly.- But don't let them out of the cage, OK?
0:47:32 > 0:47:34They smell terrible, but we love them.
0:47:34 > 0:47:36The hamsters, that is, not the children.
0:47:37 > 0:47:43- OK, so we have only one rule in my get-togethers. No shop talk, OK?- OK.
0:47:43 > 0:47:47OK. So, here's to you.
0:47:47 > 0:47:49- Thank God you're here.- Cheers.
0:47:49 > 0:47:52OK, well, let's go and meet everyone.
0:47:52 > 0:47:53Hiya.
0:47:59 > 0:48:03- Hiya.- Hello! What can I get you?
0:48:03 > 0:48:06- We appear to have...everything. - Erm...
0:48:06 > 0:48:09- I'll have a white wine, please. - White wine, right.
0:48:16 > 0:48:21Jesus. I hope you're OK with a stupidly large...
0:48:21 > 0:48:23THEY LAUGH
0:48:23 > 0:48:27- So you just walked out? - I didn't really have a choice.
0:48:27 > 0:48:30I can't believe I left it so long.
0:48:30 > 0:48:33That takes guts, under the circumstances.
0:48:33 > 0:48:35So what about you?
0:48:36 > 0:48:41- I heard some people talking. Gossiping.- Ah, no, no.
0:48:41 > 0:48:44I can't compete with that. Erm...
0:48:44 > 0:48:48We just looked at each other one day over another takeaway
0:48:48 > 0:48:51and realised it was over. Called the solicitor the following week.
0:48:51 > 0:48:57- It can't have been that easy. - You know, we... We tried.
0:48:57 > 0:49:02For the kids, you know? Same old story. We wanted it to work.
0:49:02 > 0:49:07- I suppose this is where I'm supposed to blame the job.- But?- I blame her.
0:49:07 > 0:49:11Obviously. I'm kidding. It's, erm...
0:49:11 > 0:49:15She's... We're fine. It's, erm...
0:49:16 > 0:49:18She was a civilian.
0:49:18 > 0:49:22You know, different worlds, different references,
0:49:22 > 0:49:26different backgrounds. Bottom line, they don't know what you go through.
0:49:27 > 0:49:29And no man is a hero when you wash his boxers.
0:49:29 > 0:49:34- You could always wash your own! - Hey! I took the bins out!
0:49:34 > 0:49:38So, that's no civilians...which just leaves doctors, right?
0:49:38 > 0:49:43- Maybe, but no anaesthetists, or ENT. - You really are fussy, aren't you?
0:49:43 > 0:49:48Possibly a nice psychiatrist. Someone who needs a project.
0:49:48 > 0:49:51- You actually think you're fixable? - Of course.
0:49:51 > 0:49:53In the right hands.
0:50:04 > 0:50:06KNOCK AT DOOR
0:50:09 > 0:50:11KNOCKING
0:50:25 > 0:50:27Hiya. Nice top.
0:50:27 > 0:50:29- Zara?- All Saints.
0:50:29 > 0:50:31Get you!
0:50:42 > 0:50:43You should ask her.
0:50:45 > 0:50:47How long has it been now?
0:50:47 > 0:50:50Er, six months.
0:50:50 > 0:50:51Seven, actually.
0:50:51 > 0:50:53You should definitely ask her.
0:50:53 > 0:50:56Nah. Too complicated.
0:50:58 > 0:51:00I'm being as quiet as I can!
0:51:07 > 0:51:08- What shift are you on?- Middle.
0:51:08 > 0:51:10- See you.- I'll see you later.
0:51:15 > 0:51:20- See. Told you I was fixable. - It's a work in progress.
0:51:30 > 0:51:32Thank you.
0:51:32 > 0:51:35Right. You can have anything you want.
0:51:35 > 0:51:39- Pizza!- Pizza? OK, cool.
0:51:39 > 0:51:45- The number I have for her doesn't work any more. Do you know where she is?- It's been a few months now.
0:51:45 > 0:51:48- Have you tried her at the hospital? - No longer employed there.
0:51:48 > 0:51:50They won't tell me any more.
0:51:50 > 0:51:53She weren't stupid, our Cath, except when it came to men, maybe.
0:51:53 > 0:51:58Waste of space, that Carl. Maybe she just wanted shot of him for good.
0:51:58 > 0:52:00Thanks.
0:52:02 > 0:52:05Going to need a highly-skilled doctor in resus.
0:52:07 > 0:52:09All right, I'm coming.
0:52:11 > 0:52:14This is a little bit of anaesthetic to make you feel sleepy
0:52:14 > 0:52:17- before we pull your ankle. - Did I hear you say propofol?
0:52:17 > 0:52:20That's right.
0:52:20 > 0:52:24Isn't that what Michael Jackson took, you know, before he died?
0:52:26 > 0:52:28- Cos I'd quite... - STARTS TO SLUR
0:52:30 > 0:52:31Hm. Pretty quick.
0:52:33 > 0:52:36- Ready?- I was born ready, Doctor.
0:52:36 > 0:52:38Right. OK.
0:52:51 > 0:52:53INDISTINCT
0:53:01 > 0:53:04- It's sort of a family get-together. - Ah, it sounds lovely.
0:53:04 > 0:53:06Yeah, it was my mum's idea for her 70th,
0:53:06 > 0:53:08get the whole family together for the weekend.
0:53:08 > 0:53:10Didn't realise it'd be such a mission to get hold of them all!
0:53:10 > 0:53:14- So you're her family?- Adopted. Makes you value it more, somehow.
0:53:14 > 0:53:16Of course, sorry.
0:53:16 > 0:53:18Right.
0:53:18 > 0:53:22Oh, here it is. She must have got a new mobile or something.
0:53:22 > 0:53:26That'll be it. Slave to the upgrade. You are a life-saver.
0:53:28 > 0:53:31And did she give an address?
0:53:31 > 0:53:35- I've got an invitation, too - Mum doesn't trust e-mail.- I think so.
0:53:35 > 0:53:36Oh, yeah, here it is.
0:53:39 > 0:53:41RINGING
0:54:08 > 0:54:09'New message.'
0:54:09 > 0:54:13'Hi, Cath, it's Sam Kelly from the Sheffield Express.
0:54:13 > 0:54:17'I hope this is the right number. I need to speak to you urgently.'
0:54:31 > 0:54:34- Do you know Alison Sutton? - I went to uni with her.
0:54:34 > 0:54:37Heard she went to New Zealand, married some farmer type.
0:54:37 > 0:54:38Still waiting for your passport.
0:54:38 > 0:54:40If you can't dig it out, you're going to need a new one,
0:54:40 > 0:54:42otherwise they'll stop your wages.
0:54:42 > 0:54:44SHE SIGHS
0:54:48 > 0:54:50I don't know what to do.
0:54:50 > 0:54:52She lost it a bit, actually, Ally.
0:54:52 > 0:54:54It doesnae pay to bottle things up.
0:54:54 > 0:54:57You can talk to me, you know, whatever it is.
0:54:57 > 0:54:59Can you keep a secret?
