[Filmrise theme]

[Monitor beeping]

Forceps and scissors please.

Ok.

Let's get ready to clip the arteries.

Damn.

He's woken up.

Can't be helped.

Knife please.

Nick.

Nick, don't let them. - Sorry, dad.

Got to be done.

No!

Lie still.

We're taking your heart.

You don't need it anymore.

[Scream]

Jesus!

We've been sitting, waiting for the last 10 minutes.

I'll see you there.

I haven't seen you up this early

since Christmas day, 1998.

Yeah.

This was your idea, dad. What do you want?

It was your mother's idea to be precise.

She believes in communication.

With the wedding.

I just wondered if there was anything

that we could do to help.

You know, if it's not too late.

- Well, most of it's sorted. - Oh well.

There you go. We tried.

Sit.

Let's go through the list again anyway.

So the caterers?

The seating plan?

Flowers?

Rings?

[Groan]

[Theme music]

A dream like that stays in the back of the mind all day.

But why your heart?

Why not your kidney?

What can your subconscious be trying to tell you?

My cholesterol's too high, and... oh, hold that thought.

Oh.

Any chance I can talk to you about the clinic rota?

Of course, you can, Wilson.

My door is always, um...

You know.

No luck.

Like you care.

Three weeks.

Three weeks I've done clinic.

I'll try and come over for an hour

today to give you a break, ok.

Don't strain yourself.

Touchy.

Be nice.

For you, I will be uber-nice.

Sorry I've got a meeting with hr, five...

No seven minutes ago.

- I'll do you a note. - What is it?

I was just wondering, um, about tonight, or tomorrow,

or any night really?

Just because you now know I'm single,

doesn't mean you have to ask me out.

It's not obligatory.

It is where I come from.

Lawrence Shepherd: Not totally successful?

The national is not won nor lost at the canal turn,

you know what I'm saying?

Not really.

[Whimpering]

Have you got a Mrs. Indale?

We have a set of her teeth marks if that's any help.

They took her through.

The SWAT team.

Take a muzzle.

Sally indale: Get out of my face!

Policewoman: Mrs. Indale, please,

you have to stop shouting.

I don't have to do anything.

Ma'am, please.

You touch me one more time. Just touch me again.

Good morning.

I'm Mr. Springer.

Maybe if we all had a seat.

Maybe if you sodded off.

I've been asked to examine you, Mrs. Indale.

Bully for you, Dr. Dickhead.

I'm sorry about my registrar.

We keep him on out of pity.

Mrs. Indale.

If you would retreat to a more discreet distance,

maybe things will be easier for everyone.

Please.

Would you like to take a seat for a couple of minutes please?

What's the story here?

She was taking her children to school when they

called in at the supermarket.

She was stopped for shoplifting.

She started off with shoving the manager.

And then when the security guard arrived, she bit him.

Well, maybe she doesn't like mondays.

While they were waiting for the police to arrive,

she conveniently started fitting.

So Dr. Dickhead, any history of seizures?

According to her, no.

Was she guilty as charged?

Go and ask one of the nice officers.

(Whispering) What difference does it make?

Because if I was a shoplifter and got nicked,

then any subsequent fit might be a convenient distraction,

but if I've been wrongly accused by some lout in a uniform

whilst my kids were being torn from my grasp,

well, maybe I'd have a fit too, a real one.

Go on.

Ugh.

So we've got Max portas, 28, playing football, collapsed.

No one knows if he lost consciousness,

so possible syncope.

He insists it's just a stitch, and he'll be fine in a minute.

(Short of breath) Ok.

I'm well.

Fit.

Fittest bloke on the team.

Midfielder, me.

We suspect you have myocarditis.

It's an infection in the muscle of your heart.

Probably had it for a week or two.

Ok.

Well, Chuck us some antibiotics, and I'll

be off for the second half. - Ah.

Well, it's viral.

Antibiotics won't touch it.

So you're going to have to shoot me.

Nope. Not yet.

I've been asked to insert a small pump next to your heart

just to help it over this uh...

This crisis.

Look.

You've got better things to do, eh?

Sicker people to look after.

Mr. Portas, your oxygen levels are not improving.

We need to help your heart out.

We need to do it soon.

All right, Max.

Time to get serious.

Or do I have to tie you down?

I must warn you, my knots are very good.

Please just take a seat.

[Knocking]

Sorry.

What's going off, love?

- You took your time. - Phil indale.

Ah.

What's going on? What's wrong with you?

Nothing. I fainted.

I'm Mr. Monroe. I'm your wife's consultant.

The security guard started it.

I pushed him off.

Another fight.

I should have known.

Where are the kids?

In school.

One of the moms was there...

Are you listening to me?

[Sigh] Why do you keep doing it?

Why can't you just be nice?

[Sigh]

How's the wild woman of the west?

Waste of time.

She's faking it to get off being charged.

And now I've got to somehow get her into a scanner.

Oh.

The break you promised me?

If I have to talk to Monroe again, I will.

All right. All right.

I'll do clinic.

Happy?

Right.

Mrs. Indale.

Good luck.

She is in the scanner, isn't she?

I mean, she hasn't said about the radiologist

with an iv stand?

She's fine.

Good.

Well, my money is on the seat of all human emotions,

the frontal lobe.

(Singing) It's such a perfect day.

I'm glad I spent it with you.

Such a perfect day.

You just keep me hanging on.

Well, well, well.

Would you look at that?

An aneurysm.

The size of the isle of wight, or springer's ego.

And in the temporal lobe.

Thank you.

Just when you think you've got the baddies cornered.

You have an aneurysm here in the temporal lobe,

and it's pressing down on the amygdala, which controls

how we deal with our emotions.

So it may well be that this is what has been

giving you your anger problem.

So now what?

Well, an aneurysm is a weakness

in a blood vessel in the brain.

Imagine a garden hose.

Where the casing's worn thin, the hose bulges,

so pressure is building up on the weakest part.

And if it bursts?

We'll get to it before that happens.

But it could.

You've kept safe so far.

And we'll keep you safe until we get you into the operation.

I'm going to talk to my team now,

and we'll have a look at the schedule.

Consider all the options, and I'll

come and talk it over with you.

I knew it wasn't me.

Angry all the time.

I knew something wasn't right.

I'm not mad.

I'm not bad.

Thank god.

When?

The sooner the better.

My children?

I need to see the kids.

Sarah witney: Have you finished clinic?

It's an absolute doddle.

I don't know why Wilson's making such a big deal out of it.

I was thinking about a weekend off next month.

We could book the boutique hotel...

I'm at work, and so are you. Time and place.

Sweet as pie one minute.

No one dare cross her path the next.

Bit like bremner on a bad day, if you forgive me, Shepherd.

You're putting her temper down to this aneurysm?

Could be a factor.

It's abutting the amygdala, and what does the amygdala,

springer?

Feeding fighting, and...

Fornication.

Well swerved.

An aneurysm of this size, there's a chance

that when we remove it she'll start to process emotions

in a more measured way.

Lawrence Shepherd: Of course, then she

might have just woken up one morning

and of her husband, and her life,

and been consumed with bitterness and disappointment.

Could be that too.

Lizzie clapham: Either way you don't have, do you?

You have to get rid of that aneurysm,

or it bleeds and she dies.

Correct.

The only choice we do have is how we do the operation.

So do you want us to guess?

Both our departments, cardio...

Sorry.

And neuro working together on a single patient.

Like life itself, the heart and the head,

working together in perfect Harmony.

Would you care to clarify, or is this

the opening of a new musical you're working on?

Hypothermic circulatory arrest.

Yes. Good.

I agree.

- Circulatory arrest, really? - Ooh.

A sudden surge of interest in the case you

were desperate to get a shot of.

Circulatory arrest, bremner's attractive and dedicated team

will cool the patients' body, stop the heart,

and drain the blood.

We then have a half hour window in which it's safe to quickly

clip the aneurysm.

Meanwhile, Shepherd, will be keeping

our patient alive and dead at the same time.

Half hour Max.

A bonafide miracle.

When do we scrub in?

Gabriel Monroe: Sadly, springer, on this occasion,

you'll be observing only.

This is Wilson's case now, remember?

You gave it to her.

Last time we played trivial pursuit,

she didn't like losing, and the kids laughed.

That was it.

Board went flying, cards.

She was raging.

I'm with her on that.

Some of those science questions.

And all the time, she couldn't help it.

Even if Sally's personality has been affected

by the aneurysm, removing it may not restore

her to who she used to be.

You know, the damage may already be done.

But this is going to save her life.

Well, if it goes well... and there's no

reason to think it won't...

Yes.

Yes, everything confirms it.

I'm sorry.

You're in ccf.

It's congestive cardiac failure.

You're going to need that pump.

You're going to need it soon.

We'll get you over to itu as soon as we can.

All right.

I'll have a word with cardiology,

and then I've got to shoot off.

[Sigh]

[Whimper]

I'll open your skull here, and fritter around a bit

until we find the aneurysm.

Then we'll put you on bypass, and we'll cool your blood so

that gradually, gradually, we'll bring your temperature

down until your heart stops.

Stops dead?

And then when there's no pulse and the aneurysm's deflated,

we'll have the best chance to clip it.

How long will it take?

Oh, I won't keep you in that state longer than 30 minutes.

And after the op?

You should be fine, danger over.

Ok.

Sounds good. - No.

It doesn't.

It sounds dead.

Hang on.

We... we need to think about this.

We need time to think, for it to sink in.

Look at me, really look.

All the trouble, all the fighting, honestly,

Phil, can you tell me you still love me?

I... I love who you used to be and who

you are underneath all the...

You know.

And I don't want to lose you.

We can get rid of this aneurysm, which will in effect

save your life, but I can't promise that it's going to sort

out your emotional problems.

But it will.

I know I am going to wake up the old me, and I can't wait.

So on you go.

Get it done.

What's the time?

Half 5:00.

You're not still worried about that football match?

No point.

They'll all be back in a pub by now.

I wish.

Hey!

No noise.

No pestering my nurses, and just five minutes.

Good to see you.

How'd we do?

Only beat them five-three.

Come on.

And you, no food or drink.

Max portas: Who scored?

I got two.

George got one.

Love that.

Are you finished for the day?

Not for a bit.

Ropey patient. - Is there any other sort?

Come on. A korma and a naan, my treat.

Maybe tomorrow.

Ok.

Here we are, happy singletons observing the tangled

love lives of our colleagues.

We stand back.

We have perspective.

I've got a headache actually.

I could probably fix that for you.

[Chuckle]

The ref's bleating, "it's a friendly, lads.

It's a friendly."

[Cough]

I hate hospitals, me, you know.

Mayhem, mate.

Fists, boots.

The language was...

[coughing]

You all right, Max?

Max, you all right? - All right.

That's it, gentlemen.

Full time.

[Gasping]

We got an itu bed waiting for you at last.

Suppose I like it where I am.

Promoted.

Premiere league, mate. Coming up in the world.

Let's go.

Nice and slowly.

You all right?

(Nasally) Ground floor, perfumery,

stationery, and leather goods.

My gram would say that every time we got in a lift.

I'm 28, 28.

I'm shitting it, mate.

I don't let on, but...

God, I don't want to die.

Jenny bremner: Jess, I'm so sorry.

I know I said I'd be back early, but one thing lead to another.

Oh.

Has he had his bath?

Hm.

The usual tantrum when he came out.

Jenny bremner: Hm.

What a baby.

Have to start taking him swimming.

[Wheel squeaking]

Is it beyond the wit of the whole nhs

to fix that damn noise.

I'm sorry.

Puts my teeth on edge.

Really doesn't take much, does it?

Apparently not.

Apparently, i'm unreasonable, and angry,

and a nightmare to live with.

You and me both.

At least, there's a good chance we'll

have you sweet and reasonable this time tomorrow.

Now, Phil's not here.

If you were a betting man...

Oh, I am a betting man.

One of my little failings.

How much would you bet on me losing this temper

problem after the op.

Just you and me.

You can be honest.

Evens.

Thanks.

Have a listen to your chest.

Max, all we're talking about is sedating you

so that a machine can help you to breathe,

just until we can put a pump in.

No.

I've not even agreed to the op yet.

There are already signs that your kidneys and liver

are beginning to fail.

I'm not 30 yet.

I play football.

I've run a marathon.

I'm not ready for this.

No sedation.

No op, no nothing.

I won't agree.

No.

[Heavy breathing]

Lawrence Shepherd: You know, you could have said

that you were running late.

And then, I would've said it's fine,

and then I'd look after him.

I know.

But you know, i'd arranged things,

and I've been a bit shirty with you, so I felt I couldn't.

You can.

You always can.

Well, it doesn't seem like that lately.

You know, you're... You're not some...

What?

Well, you just don't seem that happy with me, with us.

Well, I am.

And anything that he needs, anything you need.

That's what I'm here for.

You know, I was even thinking, why don't we get married?

Why?

Well, why not?

You, me, Louie.

It'll make us...

Better?

Stronger?

What?

Like some sort of sticking plaster.

No.

I mean we are hardly happy as we are,

how would marrying help?

Well, I take it that's a no then.

Oh, don't be childish, Lawrence.

Well, what else am I supposed to do?

What can I say?

Where do we go from here?

Well, not down the aisle for starters.

Yes. I got that.

I got that message.

Thank you... do you know, if we're... if we're such

a disaster, if there's no...

If there's no hope for us, then why the hell am I even here?

Hello.

I'm trying to find your mom's address.

You'll be lucky.

Cleared off when I was six.

No family at all?

Yeah.

Ok.

So if there's no one else to say this, I have to.

This is about you dad, isn't it?

It's about your dad dying in this building, just a year ago.

And it's about him dying in an operation.

They wheeled him away.

"See you, son."

He didn't die, because of anything the surgeon did.

He... he had another massive stroke.

[Heavy breathing] I don't want to close my eyes.

I know you don't.

I understand.

But time is running out for us.

I'm sorry, but we have to do this soon.

You'll wake up.

You will.

Max, I promise.

So squid Risotto on its own, eh.

That's a brave order for a first date.

Perils of vanity.

I left me reading glasses at home.

I don't think I've ever seen an entire octopus eaten in one

sitting.

[Giggle]

Apart from on a wildlife documentary.

Well, what I can tell you?

I'm a girl with a healthy appetite.

This is where I resist making a crass inquiry

about your unhealthy appetite.

I think that's a stone best left

unturned at this early stage.

[Gunfire on TV]

Video game character (On TV): Here they come.

What the hell are you doing here?

All right, dad.

What the hell are you doing here?

Level three, and you'll get some mortars.

You did say treat this place as home.

We'll make ourselves scarce just as soon

as we've scaled the embassy.

Well, I'd invite you in for coffee,

but I've got an angry 14-year-old in there

who thinks castration's too good for any

man who isn't her father.

And you've got two adolescents of your own waiting

for you at home.

Haven't I just.

Hm.

Best call it a night?

Yeah.

Thanks for a lovely evening.

See ya.

How is he?

Responding.

Pulse slowing, breathing easier.

He gave his permission.

Midnight.

You're a hero, official.

[Sigh]

Hey, what's wrong?

I'm no one's hero.

Maybe not a superhero, but I reckon you're there

with the everyday ones, the lollipop ladies

and the people who run donkey rescues.

[Laugh]

Is it that prick springer?

Well, what's he done?

[Thumping]

Have you got any coffee?

Run out.

It's all part of my plan to reduce you to your lowest ebb,

so you have no choice but to talk to me.

Ok.

We'll talk.

How are you getting on with Lizzie?

Don't know who you're talking about.

Anna's understudy.

Getting back to the matter in hand.

You and Jenny, and these little spots, they're to be expected.

Did I ever tell you about when Nick was a baby

and I booked us a week in Spain?

Probably.

So Anna has a new partner, and you've

suddenly got an all consuming attraction to a colleague.

Coincidence?

I've been quietly fancying her from afar.

Anyway, so I booked us this week off to remind

us how much in love we were.

By day two, we were plotting how to kill each other

and where to hide the body.

And look how happily it all worked out for you.

What are we playing?

Same old game of silly buggers by the looks of it.

Come on.

I hear you whipped our reluctant patient

into theater last night.

Well, i... I'd done the procedure before, so...

Well done.

His heart's a lot happy with the balloon pump,

but he's still on dobutamine and NORAD.

So are you up for assisting on this circulatory arrest,

or are you too shattered after your vigil?

Come on.

I'm sorry if I wrecked all your plans last night.

Oh, I put it down to jealousy.

Me, a free man, you about to cut yourself off

from the vast universe of fanciable woman.

- Well, I've apologized now, so. - Yeah.

Not like you meant it.

You know, I was hoping for, I'm sorry.

I'm selfish.

I don't deserve you.

Accepting the truth is half the battle, so well done.

Gabriel Monroe: Good evening, huh.

You know, the ending was a bit so-so, but not bad

for a first attempt.

Some things are never going to work.

Well, it worked fine, didn't it?

- Hm. - No.

I'm sorry.

Sorry, I need three coffees minimum before my thoughts

take any coherence.

Was it a disaster?

Not quite.

But your luggage got in the way, and, well,

I've got a fair bit of luggage of my own.

Was it my squid-based humor?

We can strike that from the record.

Sons, daughters, ex-husbands, ex-wives,

friends of failed relationships, a bit crowded

before we even got started.

And you know what, you are very sweet.

I'm not looking for crowded right now.

It was a lovely evening.

I'm really sorry.

Ah, I see what you're doing.

Playing the long game.

I like it.

Patient needs a playlist, springer.

What?

Off you go.

Well, shouldn't your registrar be assisting

you on something like this?

I mean, when I apply for my next post...

Moving on so soon?

No, but it would look good for both of us if my cv...

That's one of the many differences

between us, springer.

What?

I don't really care what things look like.

You had your chance with this patient.

You gave it to Wilson.

Very generous we thought.

[Vice clicking]

Ready, Mr. Monroe?

Over to you, Ms. Bremner.

You all right?

Yeah. All good.

Yeah. - Knife please.

Thank you.

[Sigh]

Five years slog to be treated like a bloody dj.

What have you done to upset her?

What are you on about?

She deserves better.

What?

The aneurysm woman?

You know what I'm talking about.

One date with you, and she's in pieces.

[Monitor beeping]

Carry on, witney.

Great film.

Think we're nearly there.

Yep.

There she blows, or not, we hope.

I can't do anymore until we stop the circulation

and empty her out.

All ok?

All right.

Ok, can we go on to bypass please?

Thank you.

I hope you young things are talking

note of this rare and fine example of domestic Harmony.

20 degrees.

Gabriel Monroe: Have one more to go.

Getting there, 19.

Ok, everyone.

Time to get going.

Ok.

Can we turn bypass off and drain the circulation

to the reservoir please?

[Monitor beeping]

[Flatlining]

There's no pulse.

Because the heart is no longer beating.

No high frequency brain activity.

The peace that passeth all understanding.

And that's enough of that.

Let's get going.

That's the neck of the aneurysm.

- You've been going 26 minutes. - Oh, bollocks.

I thought I had it all free. We're not quite there.

Can we crack on please?

I want the arrest time to a minimum.

Cracking on as quick as we can, Ms. Bremner.

Any problems?

Not yet.

I'd like to keep it that way.

- Brain activity flat. - Looks good.

You hope.

That is an unknown until the patient recovers.

Ok.

Ok, everyone.

I'm going as fast as I can.

Clip.

Right, Dr. Wilson.

Here we go.

If anything goes wrong from now, it's your fault. Ok.

Let's see how that works.

When you're ready.

Back on bypass please.

And rewarm.

[Monitor beeping]

Well done, everyone.

Another surgical triumph.

My concern is not at all selfless.

He plays a very noisy game of Patience at 3:00 am.

I know you're trying to help, but this is work.

Personal, professional.

Two separate things.

I think they stopped being separate things

a long time ago.

I just want to know that you're doing ok.

I'm ok, yeah.

Just about.

Thank you for asking.

It went well.

They'll be taking her back to itu in a few minutes.

Thank you.

Hey.

You're staying with Monroe, aren't you?

It's not your problem.

Please tell me I haven't wrecked

things for you and bremner.

Don't do this here.

Not now.

I have, haven't I?

Things are difficult, not settled.

It's... just not here.

God.

How could I be so stupid?

How could you?

You've wrecked things for everyone, for bremner, for...

For your little boy.

This isn't what I do, you know.

This isn't who I am.

[Mobile ringing]

Call from itu.

Got to get there now. - Max portas?

Jenny bremner: Multiple organ failure.

Abnormal ast and alt.

What? Liver failure?

And his kidney have failed.

Completely dependent on dialysis.

Why is this happening?

Why does anything happen with viral infection?

Ventricular tachycardia, loss of output.

Damn.

But he was doing so well. I promised him.

You know as well as I do not to promise anybody anything.

Now, shock him.

Stand clear.

[Beeping]

[Electronic hum]

[Shock]

Pulse is vt.

Going again.

Stand clear.

[Electronic hum]

[Shock]

[Monitor beeps]

Going again.

Clear.

Time of death, 4:59 pm.

When a virus is that aggressive,

there's nothing anyone can do.

I know.

Look.

This thing with Shepherd isn't helping, is it?

It looked like you were having a fight.

Oh, it's nothing.

You can tell me.

Mates, remember?

We tell each other anything.

Not this.

Come on.

How bad can it be?

I slept with Shepherd.

Mullery, please.

Talk to me.

I don't know.

I thought better of you as a kid,

and I even feel sorry for springer.

I've completed his notes.

Thought you might like to check them.

Yeah.

Of course.

And I think you should go home and get some sleep.

Um.

No.

I'm all right.

If there were any justice in medicine, what you did for Mr.

Portas today would have seen him walk out of here,

but there isn't.

You are the best registrar I've ever had.

So don't let this knock your confidence.

What?

I have just booked us a honeymoon

suite for a long and glorious weekend together.

Best boyfriend ever, or what?

What?

What's wrong? What have I done?

Nothing.

Well, look at you.

You're looking a lot happier than when I last saw you.

She's great.

Good as new.

Whoops.

Sorry.

How are you feeling?

A bit achy, but ok.

We have so much to thank you for.

Nah. It's not necessary.

You've given me my wife back.

Sorry.

Give me that.

Watch out, you clumsy pillock!

Stop fannying about, springer.

Let Wilson do it.

Oh no, no.

Ooh.

That'll teach you not to subjugate women surgically,

won't it?

You may clip our aneurysms, but you will never clip our spirit.

You give them the vote, a few years later, mayhem.

All right.

I finished early for once.

I was wondering.

Saturday.

Hm?

What are you...

Let me know what you're doing if you want him.

Where I'll be.

Yes.

We could both take him out, or we could stay in.

I don't thrive on rows and arguments.

No.

I can't work out if things are so

complicated because we love each other

or because we don't love each other enough.

I'll kiss Louie for you. Ok.

Good night.

How you doing?

We're going to be out of here in a few days

if you give us the thumbs up.

I'm... I'm sorry the operation hasn't solved all

your problems, but at least you know what you're dealing

with now, you know.

You can make allowances for the kids' sake.

It's not just for them.

For her too.

You commit to someone and you stay committed.

Lawrence Shepherd: When Anna left you,

I had the good grace to take the piss

and talk about horse racing.

Gabriel Monroe: Anna and I were a busted flush by then.

We didn't have a six-month-old baby.

Oh, I don't know.

I don't know.

One minute I was asking her to marry me,

and the next I was standing at the door

with a suitcase in my hand.

You asked her to marry you?

What did she say?

That's more like it.

So wait, somewhere between, um, "will you marry me"

and "I'm leaving you"...

I'm missing part of the story here.

You know, it seems a bit more serious than baby strain.

I slept with someone else.

I had a one-night stand.

Oh.

Right.

Well, I know it's not the best thing you've ever done,

but as long as you don't go all confessional

and it doesn't happen again.

It's worse than that.

Did it involve sheep?

It was witney.

I slept with witney.

Witney?

Oh.

Sure this wasn't a dream you had?

Oh, for fuck's sake, Monroe.

Bremner's registrar.

My registrar's girlfriend. - Right.

Um.

I'm going to check tomorrow's list.

You've got an acoustic neuroma first thing.

Haven't you?

Does Jenny know?

No.

What were you thinking?

Thought didn't really come into it.

You've risked everything.

Your little lad.

You've got... you've got a glioma second.

Oh, stuff the bloody list!

Larry, your son.

You need to get better balloons than that next time.

[Music - I am kloot, "I still do"]

When I was a child, I looked up at the sky.

Thought I saw you and I in the clouds, passing by.

When I was a boy, I looked out at the sea.

Thought I saw you and me in the waves on the breeze.

I still do.

I still do.

I still do.

When I was a child, I had that look in my eye.

Had a will to despise, make destruction my life.

And I still do.

I still do.

Still do.
