Don't suppose you fancy doing something later?

Oh, I'm knackered, and the kids... Early night beckons.

Yeah, of course.

Oh, yeah. Yeah, Lars and his wife are taking Elis to Sweden tonight.

Oh, wow. I'm fine.

It's just a thing that my friends organise at the mosque.

It's a British-Pakistani community thing.

With a dance floor?

Yeah, but it's not in the mosque, obviously.

There'll be a dance floor and a buffet.

But I wouldn't be welcome?

Oh, no! It's not...

I mean, people bring other... friends.

Oh, great!

Oh... OK. Well, text me the address.

Well, er... Yeah, why don't you come to mine first,

and then we could drive together?

Why don't we get an Uber, then we can both have a drink?

Sorry. OK.

Well... Well, brilliant! MARYAM LAUGHS

Thank you. Yeah.

Ah!

OK.

Did you change the sheets in the spare room for Mum?

Yep.

Well, give me a call if you need anything.

Well, you're the on-call consultant,

so, yeah, I will. How long are we keeping this up for?

I'm not keeping anything up. I can only apologise so...

You're not apologising for the right thing. Yes, it was out of hand.

I was out of order.

Because I'd just found out that you'd gone behind my back

and brought your sister back into our lives,

breaking a fundamental agreement of our marriage. That's not why.

I-I just need an early night.

What you need is to laugh with your friends, and a dance.

Scientifically proven to lift your spirits.

And I'm going to show off my dazzling, accomplished daughter.

HELEN: You need me to tell you that's not pneumonia?

No, I need you to tell THEM it's not pneumonia.

Wife is a former matron.

Yeah, screw your courage to the sticking place, Dr Khan.

That's above my pay grade.

Sorry to keep you waiting... Amanda!

Hannah, get up, we're leaving - they've sent Helen!

How are you? Aw!

Oh, Hannah, I've heard so much about you.

I'm Dr Helen Cavendish,

and I'm the acute registrar on duty this evening.

I've worked with your wife since I was a medical student.

HANNAH CHUCKLES

So, er, we must have some results back,

if you're here?

Is there any history I need to know before...

Hannah has advanced ovarian cancer

and has led an active, joyful five years of life

whilst on chemotherapy.

The last month, it's been a rougher ride.

She's had a cold for a few weeks she can't shift.

We're hoping it's pneumonia.

In which case, we'd like antibiotics to go,

so we can get out of this den of viral load.

Is there anything else I need to know, Hannah?

No.

I don't think it's pneumonia.

The cancer has advanced to your lungs.

Er, I... Can I see?

Yeah.

I'd like to admit you,

so we can keep you comfortable until you've had a chance

to discuss your options with the oncology team in the morning.

BREATHLESS: I want... to go home.

I think that you should speak to Oncology first.

And there's one semi-reclining chair there that we'll...

I want to die at home.

You know Oncology, they'd dig you up to give you chemo.

Speak to the specialists first.

Don't admit me.

Our end-of-life plan is for me to take care of her at home.

Finally, 40 years of frontline medicine comes in handy.

You're the night-duty medical reg, Helen. You can discharge us.

I, er... PAGER BEEPS

Sorry.

Hardest job in the hospital.

I think that you should review your options

with the oncology consultant in the morning.

There is nothing more to be done, though, is there?

Just needs you to say so.

Listen, I think that we should all think about it for an hour.

Oh, wow. That's great everyone's getting along so well.

You left Cuddle Cat.

'Yeah, yeah, yeah. We realised on the plane.

'I mean, Elis doesn't seem bothered.

'Perhaps it's not such a big deal for her.

'Maybe she's over the cat.' Oh, that's good.

'Brigitta bought her a new soft toy.'

Oh, she has? Well... Well, that's...

That's great. I'm relieved she's doing OK without it.

Well, just... keep each other company until...

'Did you have a good night? I mean, your party?'

Yeah, yeah. Well... SHE SIGHS

Hi, Callum. Erm, it's Auntie Helen. Erm...

You... You need to give me a call when you get this.

OK, erm, thanks.

"Auntie Helen"? Yeah, it's my nephew.

Well, if he's under 30, he won't listen to that.

What do you mean?

They don't listen to voicemails, you need to send a voice note. Here.

I know how to send a voice note. I'm not 90.

SHE SIGHS, SNIFFS

Hi, Callum. It's Auntie Helen. Can you call me when you get this?

It's about your mum.

That's better.

And I think when he listens to it, there's two little ticks there.

SHE LAUGHS Oh, my God. Really?

They'll be sending men to the moon next (!)

SHE LAUGHS, SNIFFS

I might have been hours. I would've waited hours.

Can I drive you home?

How far is it to your place?

MUSIC: 'Free' by Florence + the Machine

? Sometimes I wonder if I should be medicated

? If I would feel better Just slightly sedated

? A feeling comes so fast And I cannot control it

? I'm on fire But I'm trying not to show it

? As it picks me up, puts me down

? It picks me up, puts me down

? But there's nothing else That I know how to do

? But to open up my arms And give it all to you

? Cos I hear the music

? I feel the beat

? And for a moment, when I'm dancing

? I am free

? I am free

? I am free

? I am free. ?

Yeah, that's fine, Laura,

but I need you to find me some time after clinic.

I need to prioritise these meetings with interview panel members.

Thank you.

Do you ever look at your life and think,

"How the hell did I get it so wrong?"

No, not really.

Is that cos you're exactly where you wanted to be?

Not exactly, no.

But close enough.

Catherine's gonna fight you tooth and nail for that job,

you know. Yeah.

That's one of the things I enjoy doing most with Catherine.

SHE LAUGHS

MUSIC: 'Hope' by Arlo Parks

? Millie tried to talk the pleasure Back into being... ?

Sorry. This is... SHE LAUGHS

This is probably just a normal Monday morning for you.

Well, no, this usually happens on Thursdays (!) Thursday.

You've totally blown my schedule for the week.

? Won't call her friends

? Cos she's ashamed Of being locked into bed

? Can't feel her legs

? And feeling like a liar at best

? You're not alone Like you think you are

? We all have scars I know it's hard

? You're not alone, you're not alone

? You're not alone Like you think you are

? We all have scars I know it's hard

? You're not alone You're not alone. ?
