All language subtitles for S09E01 To the Lighthouse

Doc?
What's happened?

Mum's stuck.

What's she doing up in the air
like that?

That's what I said. Get me down!
I thought, if I lifted up the crush,

it'd help her get free,

but her leg just sort
of fell through the floor.

I can't check her till you cut
her out of that contraption.

Pete,
I am not cutting her out till...

THEY ARGUE
Shut up!

Can you move your toes?
Yeah.

And turn your ankle?

Yeah.
OK, no bones broken,

just minor lacerations.
You can cut her out.

OK, come on.
Give me that ladder.

Cut it right there.
What's your name?

Gerry.
Stand on there.

Steady, careful. Mind the leg.

I don't like heights, Doc,

and I'm in a lot
of bloody pain here.

Got any difficulty breathing?
I have a bit, it hurts a bit, yeah.

Where exactly does it hurt?

Kind of everywhere.
Bloody cow slammed into me.

Your pulse is racing.

OK, Doc, our lady's free.
All right.

Bring her down very slowly
and very carefully.

Yeah, thanks, Doc,
we know what we're doing.

Oh, right.

OK, bring her down.

I didn't know she was in the crush.
So I sent a cow down the channel.

The cow panicked when it saw Mum
and started rearing back in.

It must've knocked the mechanism,
so when Mum tried to get out,

the gates just closed on her.
Yeah, I didn't get a word of that.

Shall we bring in the jaws?

Oh, Mum, I'm sorry.

Oh, careful, careful.

Can you feel your toes, Mrs...?
What's her name?

Lamorna. Yeah, I can.
All right, lift your arms.

SHE GROANS

Doc, you seem to have this,

we've had a shout about a TA
in Pendoggett.

Yes, all right, go.

Does this hurt?
Ow. Yes.

All right. Put your arms down.
I can't feel any broken ribs.

I want you to come to my surgery
today so I can examine you further.

It'll have to be this afternoon.
Right.

The cow didn't mean it, Mum.
No, it's not the cow's fault.

It's YOU, you idiot.
I told you over and over,

"Always check
before you send one down."

All right, stop talking,
try and stay still.

And come to the surgery
this afternoon.

I appreciate you coming, Doc.

I know a lot of folks
think you're a tosser,

but I'll be sorry to see you go.

What do you mean?
I'm not going anywhere.

Well, they're getting rid of you,
aren't they? No, they're not.

Pretty sure I heard the same thing.
Yeah.

No, you heard wrong.
Make sure you come to the surgery.

Come on, Mum.
No, thank you, I'm fine.

TEACHER: Keep going.
That's it, keep going.

Arms up in the air, wiggling around.

OK, guys...

Keep moving your body,
moving your hips...

Daddy!

Sorry I'm late, I had an emergency.

Yeah, Morwenna said.
We're only a few minutes late.

Keep moving your body...

I have to admit,

it's a little strange
being back here so soon.

Why is that?
Oh, I don't know, Martin,

maybe because I spent my entire
adult life working here,

now I'm not.
Right, yes, course.

Good idea of Mel's
to move the nursery here, though.

Well, we'll see.

Louisa!

And Master James Henry. Shoes!

What?
I've just refurbished,

and I'd rather you didn't
traipse mud all through the place.

Just wouldn't want anyone
to accuse me of not being stringent

about health and safety.

Oh, James, are you going
to give Mummy a... a kiss? James?

Oh, well.
He seems to like it already.

So he should.

We've got a new art station,
soft play area up the back,

little library over to your left.

I don't know why I didn't think
about expanding before.

People are always having children.

Well, you two must be gearing up
for the next one.

No, well, we're... we've got
our hands full with James and...

Well, the clock's
well and truly ticking, though.

It'd be nice for James to have
a little brother or sister

to boss around.
It's none of your business.

Actually,
it's literally my business.

If you know what I mean.

Right, then... let me show you
through the rest of the facilities.

SHE SIGHS
Sorry, you can't park here.

There's no line.

There is a sign...
Well, there's a sign... holder.

Someone's obviously stolen the sign.
Oh.

You'd better tell the police.
Ye... Well, I am the police.

Then, you're already on the case.
Very sharp.

I do my best.

Dr Ellingham's surgery,
just up the hill?

Oh, yeah, just straight ahead,
you can't miss it.

Thank you.
No, thank YOU.

Maybe I'll see you around?

Maybe.

Take a seat.

I'm here to see Dr Ellingham.

Oh, do you have an appointment?
No.

Technically,
I'm actually first in the queue.

That's fine.
I'll make an appointment...

I don't want an appointment.

If it means that much, go before me.
You've misunderstood.

There's still a place for chivalry
in the world.

How was Mrs Hammond?
She got caught in a cattle crush.

Who's my first patient?

Donald Abbott.

Dr Ellingham?
Are you Donald Abbott?

No. Do you have an appointment?
She doesn't. I'm Donald Abbott.

I don't mind
if she goes before me...

Be quiet. Go through.

Did you just tell a patient
to be quiet?

Yes. Make an appointment.
That's the receptionist.

She doesn't want one, Doc.

I'm not here for a consultation.

I am Dr Rebecca Hedden from the GMC.

We weren't expecting you
till Thursday.

I like to keep to my own schedule.

Well, my schedule's busy,
I've lots of patients to see.

And I am here
to monitor the practice,

which includes shadowing you
and your interaction with patients.

No.
It's not a request, Dr Ellingham.

It's a non-negotiable requirement
of the GMC

following your tribunal hearing,
so, please, lead the way.

DOG BARKS

What seems to be the problem?

Um...

Oh, don't mind me,
I'm just observing.

Oh, right, observe away.

It's not going to be very exciting,
I'm afraid.

Um, I've been feeling a bit dizzy,
Doctor,

I've toppled over a couple of times.
Very inconvenient.

Have you had any other illnesses
or symptoms

in the last two or three months?

Er, I had flu about a month ago.

Follow my finger.

What's this for?
Shush.

Keep your head still, just the eyes.
If a patient has questions,

it's good to reassure
and educate them.

It's a technique used to detect
unilateral hyper function

of the peripheral vestibular system.
Ah, I thought as much (!)

He's measuring how you respond
to movement.

Oh. Are you a doctor as well?
I am, yes.

Are you Dr Ellingham's replacement,
then?

I'm just here to observe.

You have vestibular neuritis.

The flu you had has left
an inflammation of the nerve

in your inner ear.

That's what's causing
your imbalance and nausea.

I'll write you a prescription
for a course of Cinnarizine.

Will I be able
to go about my daily life?

I have a few things planned
for the next few days.

Yes. It's a mild infection,
the medication should start working

as soon you start taking it.

Provided you get enough rest,
drink enough fluids,

you should be fine.
If you have any more symptoms,

make a follow up appointment.
Next patient!

What was it we agreed on again?
100 quid, wasn't it?

LAUGHING: No, it were 40.
Right. Yeah.

Look, if you're gonna try
and rip me off, Gus,

you could at least put some effort
into it.

You're barely trying there.
You a bit skint at the moment?

A boat like this,
the upkeep alone's killing me.

Well, sell her.

I've just had her fixed up.
What else am I gonna do?

I just need a break, get even again.

Well, you never know,
this might be your lucky day.

It's incredibly irritating
having her hovering on my shoulder,

watching my every move.
It's only for a day or two.

No, it's for a week or more.

You need to make an effort with her.

Well, I'm allowing her to observe,
nothing more.

Well, let's just try
and have a nice lunch anyway.

Yes.
Come on.

I was thinking,
maybe we could have a talk.

What about?
About our situation.

What situation?

About what Mel said.

Oh. Hello.
Um, we've not been introduced,

I'm Louisa Ellingham.

Dr Rebecca Hedden.
I was just looking to see

where's recommended around here
for lunch. Any tips?

Well, we were just heading
to a place on the plat

that does a pretty good line
in fresh fish.

Gets pretty booked up at lunchtime.
Luckily, we've booked a table.

Would you like to join us?
You've probably got other plans.

No, that'll be good. Thank you.

Great. That's great. Come on. Erm...

Hi!
Ah, great,

we need two barrels changed

and we're getting low
on pint glasses.

Oh, hello to you, too (!)

Sorry, love,
I'm just rushed off my feet.

I promise it's just for a few days

until I find someone else
to fill in.

Maybe you shouldn't keep firing
the staff.

I caught the last one taking money
out of the till.

She's lucky
I didn't call Penhale on her.

Apparently it's fine for your dad
to do it, though.

Ah, Dad. Come on.

Oh.

Good news, you know that fisherman,
Gus? He's a fisherman.

Yes, I gathered that.

Anyway, he's struggling
with the cost of running his boat,

and I said that we'd buy in
as partners

at a very reasonable price.

We're not buying into some boat,
Dad, OK?

We get discounts on all the fish
that come in.

Look,
we've only just paid Ruth back, OK?

We can't afford this.

It's a great opportunity.
What do YOU think?

Er, it doesn't matter
what she thinks.

Oh, lovely (!)

I give up my lunch break
to help out,

and that's all the thanks I get.
No, Morwenna, I didn't...

Morwenna, I didn't mean it, I ju...
Look...

Ruth only agreed to be the guarantor
for the pub

if I was in charge
of the business decisions, yeah?

And my business decision is no boat.
So give that to me.

The GMC are keen for
a standardised quality of practice,

and good partnership
with the patients

is a keystone of that.
Why?

Because we respect
the patients' right

to reach decisions about their care

in conjunction with the doctor.
It's a terrible idea.

In my experience,
patients make appalling decisions.

Louisa, you're a teacher,

surely you must see the benefit
of consultation.

Well, actually, I WAS,
but now I'm training as a counsellor

to work with children.
Even more so, then.

Don't you think,
the more informed a patient is,

the better they'll respond
to the treatment plan?

And surely, the sooner
we start that, the better.

I'm sorry, Rebecca...

Martin and I,
we sort of have a rule,

no shoptalk at the table.
Do we?

A patient made to feel uncomfortable
is more likely

to withhold pertinent information.

If a patient is lying to the doctor,

then he doesn't really
deserve treatment, does he?

I'm sorry,
but that's quite inflammatory.

Oh, look, there's Ruth.
Ruth, Ruth, over here.

Hello.
Come join us.

I'll get you a chair.

Afternoon, Ruth.

Martin!

Sorry. The more the merrier.

Ruth, this is Dr Rebecca Hedden,
she's with the GMC.

Oh, I see.
Hello, I'm Dr Ruth Ellingham.

Oh, yes.
Chris Parsons mentioned you.

We were just discussing
how the attitudes

of medical practitioners
can affect patient care.

Opinion, not fact.

One based on numerous studies.

Based on flawed methodology.

Sally? You all right?

Yes. Just... doing a little dusting.

Perfectly normal behaviour.

I have a prescription.
Oh. Right.

So, how you getting on
with this month's book?

The Virginia Woolf.
Oh, yes, erm...

To A Lighthouse.
Oh, it's a marvellous book.

You know, she based the lighthouse
on the one at Godrevy.

Yes, I've always meant
to go and have a look.

Especially after reading...
such a marvellous book.

How about tomorrow?

Tomorrow?
The lighthouse.

A friend of mine's
been doing maintenance over there,

he'd be more than happy
to lend me the keys.

Is this some sort of...

..date?
Is that a problem?

No. No, not a problem at all.

Right, then... see you tomorrow.

Bye.
DOOR SHUTS

Mm...

It's undeniable that being inclusive
with patients

can aid the medical process.
Just because you say

something is undeniable,
doesn't make it a fact.

I think that each doctor
has their own method

of patient care
which works for them.

And what works for a doctor
may not work for a patient.

But I think Martin has a point.

I mean, if he were at fault,
I would say so. And frequently, too.

You frequently think he's at fault?
No, I didn't say that.

Sorry, can I just interrupt?

Look, is Martin gonna lose his job
or not?

Oh, right. Well, that's what
all this is about, isn't it?

I think we should just be honest,
really. Cards on the table.

Worst case scenario would be
that it's recommended

he's no longer allowed to practice.

Effectively, he'd be struck off.

So you're saying yes.
I have patients. We should go.

Thank you for lunch.
Yeah.

You're welcome. See you, Ruth.

I should follow them,
I still have a duty to supervise.

Martin is a great asset
to this community.

If you punish him,
you'll be punishing them as well.

I really should go.

Well, your spleen seems intact.

There doesn't appear to be
any damage to your internal organs.

I still ache all over.
It was quite the shock.

I suppose I should
count myself lucky it wasn't worse.

However, I am concerned
by your mitral valve.

You appear to have some inflammation
of the endocardium.

Is that to do with the accident?

Your pulse is irregular
and your heartbeat's abnormal.

Have you experienced any
breathlessness or fatigue recently?

Well, I'm on the go all day,
so, yeah, now and then.

And when did that start?
A month or so.

It's been stressful
ever since my Stanley passed.

Who?

My husband. Six months since.

Oh. Type II diabetes, I remember.

It's just me and the boy now.
And he's close to useless.

The lad's gone vegetarian too now,
would you believe?

Stanley will be spinning.

Pull your top down
and roll your sleeve up.

So this inflammation
of the endo thing,

what does that mean?
It means you have endocarditis.

The endocardium is the heart's
inner lining.

I'll take a blood sample
and run some cultures.

Endocarditis generally occurs
when bacteria, germs or fungi

spread through the bloodstream

and attach themselves
to damaged areas in the heart.

No.
Yes.

No, you are here to observe only.

I feel that the patient
would benefit

from some additional information.

No, you do not have permission
to interfere.

You're in my way, wait outside.

It's a little convenient
that you're trying to get rid of me

the moment you're due to draw blood.

None of this is convenient,
and that has nothing to do with it.

So, you won't have an issue
if I stay and watch.

HE CLEARS HIS THROAT

I'll have the results
in the morning,

make an appointment
with the receptionist.

Right you are.

Let me make one thing
perfectly clear, Dr Grayson.

Hedden. No, Dr Ellingham,
let me make it clear.

We are doing this my way,

you do not have a choice
in the matter.

And I have been willing
to overlook a lot so far.

Such as?

The way you snap and bark
at patients.

Your lack of cooperation.
DOG BARKS

The fact you have a dog
running around your surgery.

DOG WHINES

DOG WHINES

DOOR SLAMS

Right, can I go back to my work now?

Your font is too small.

What?
All the public signs in your surgery

have lettering which is below the
acceptable size of CQC guidelines.

That is ridiculous.

No.

Dismissing the threat to your career
for noncompliance is ridiculous.

Who is your registered
first aid responder?

My what?
First aid responder,

you have been told multiple times
that one is necessary,

and yet you refuse to assign one.

It's me.
I...

I've been meaning to file the form
confirming it.

The doc asked me a while back.

Didn't you?
Yes.

He's even agreed to pay me
time and a half for the training.

It's very generous.

I was like, "You can't do that,"

but he insisted, "No, no, no,
it's the least I can do.

"Maybe we should make it
double time."

I'll be back tomorrow, Dr Ellingham.

I think it's worth considering
what's more important,

your career or your pride?

I can help with one...
but not the other.

I'll, er, see you tomorrow, Doc.
If you're still here.

Not double time.

DOOR SHUTS

I would like to apologise.

Ruth did put you in charge,
and you've been doing a great job

of making sure
that this is a success.

I'm proud of you, boy.

Yeah. I'm not changing my mind,
it's still a note on the boat.

Oh, I know. I know.
What we need is a stock-take.

Whiskey, everything,
so we know where we stand

and we can plan ahead.

What are you up to?
Nothing.

Sally.
I have a problem.

Come in, what's happened?
Oh, I just... Oh, I...

I don't know what to wear.

Wear? As in clothes?

A gentleman asked me
to go out with him tomorrow

to Godrevy Lighthouse,
but what does that actually mean?

Casual? Smart-casual? Casual-smart?

Sally, when I told you
you could come round

and talk to me at any time,

I meant more with regard
to Clive's death

and any resulting feelings
of isolation and so forth.

I haven't been on a date
for 35 years.

Oh.

When Clive passed away,

I joined all these clubs
and societies to keep me busy.

And there's this gentleman, Donald,
in the book club.

And he's very pleasant and polite,
and now he's asked me out...

Sally, I do understand...

but I don't want to stand here
and give you some cliche

about how life moves on
and when the time is right,

you'll know it's right...

Oh, oh, that's...

Oh, that's very good, Ruth.
No, I wasn't...

No, that's marvellous. Oh, golly.

Well...

I think the important thing
is to feel comfortable

and be true to yourself.

So...

..smart-casual.

Mm?
Yes.

Thank you, thank you, Ruth.
SHE CHUCKLES

Now... Ooh!

I thought I saw the doc
having lunch with someone today.

A lady...

Dr Hedden from the GMC.

Oh, she's not due till next week,
how did that go?

I-I-It was interesting.

Now... you tell the doc
that if he wants any help,

he can call me any time.

Any time at all.

Bye.

I could write a letter for you,

some platitudes about how
you value her opinion.

I don't value her opinion.
That's why they're platitudes.

No, thank you.

What happens if you lose your job?
I'm not going to lose my job.

I can't say things were helped by
you inviting her to lunch, though.

Yeah, and I realise
that was a mistake.

Plus, I never got a chance
to talk to you about... you know.

Having another child?
Yeah.

I mean, I can't quite believe
we haven't talked about it before.

Mind you,
we haven't exactly been in a place

where we've been able to.

In what way?

Well, in the way that we were meant
to get married,

but neither of us showed up.

And then I left
and came back pregnant

and James was born,

but you were gonna move to London,
but you didn't.

And we did get married,
but then I went to Spain,

and, well, obviously,
I came back and you moved out,

and there was the therapy.

And now I'm training for a new job,
you might lose yours

cos of this whole GMC thing, so...

Yeah. Yeah, there's been a lot on.

Mm. Yes, I see what you mean.

Look, time's getting on,
but it doesn't mean it's run out.

Although,
if we did want another one,

it'd have to be after
I've finish my course

and started my practice.
That's three years.

About that, yeah.
Mm. You're pushing it.

Well, plenty of women
get pregnant in their 40s.

I think you'll find
they're the exception,

rather than the rule.

Do YOU want another child?

Do you?

I don't know.

I always thought I'd have more time
to think about it.

But if I'm already too... you know.

No, I don't.
Yes, you do.

No, I don't.
Too old!

Oh, I see. Yes. No, no, you're not.

I mean, you're... you're mature.

Please don't say that,
it makes me sound like cheese.

Medically-speaking,
to fall pregnant, but, erm...

yes... there's still time.

Yeah, OK.

Not much, though.

Yes, thank you,
Martin, I understand.

Excuse me!

Excuse me!
Yes, hello?

Sally Tishell.

Mrs. Widowed.

Qualified chemist.

Registered with the
General Pharmaceutical Council.

Holder of an accredited
master's degree in pharmacy.

Well, it is nice to meet you.

You're happy with the doctor's work

and are ready to send
a glowing report back about him.

Unfortunately, I'm not at liberty
to discuss the matter,

so I'm sure you understand
why I can't answer your question.

It wasn't a question.

First patient?

Oh, you're back.

As I said, I am here for a week.
At least.

First patient, Doc, Lamorna Hammond.

Lamorna Hammond. Go through.

I've changed all
the fonts in the building.

They now all meet regulation size.

UNDER BREATH: Seemed like a big
deal to everybody yesterday.

Ooh!

Just a minute.

Hello, hello.

The blood cultures reveal
an infection called brucellosis,

caused by the brucella bacteria.

Often contracted by eating infected
meat or drinking infected milk.

It can also lead to endocarditis,

so, we need to establish what it is
you've been consuming to cause this.

It says in your notes that
you are lactose intolerant?

Have been for years, yeah.
Do you eat meat?

Well, normally, we don't bother,

but, like I said,
the boys are veggie.

So, you've eaten no meat
in the past month?

Well, we had a cow die on us,

so, obviously, we turned that
into a couple of burgers and steak.

Farm folk, Doc, waste not want not.

Right, brucellosis spreads
fast amongst cattle.

There'll have to be tests,
but it's very possible

that that's the source
of the infection.

You'll need a prolonged course
of antibiotics

and you'll have to arrange for the
rest of your herd to be slaughtered.

I can't.

Well, find someone who can.
CLEARS THROAT

No, I mean, I don't want to.

There are only five left now

and I promised Stanley
I'd take care of them.

If that meat is infected, there
could be all kinds of complications.

Subacute bacterial endocarditis,

acute chronic meningitis,

encephalitis and neuritis, orchitis.

Cholecystitis, herpetic suppuration,

osteomyelitis -
both sacroiliac and vertebral...

She can't, surely, be expected
to know what all those mean?

Subacute bacterial endocarditis
is a serious condition.

Yeah, I got it, Doc, it's all bad.

But there must be another way?
This isn't fair!

Fair? Fair has nothing
to do with it, they're cows.

If you can't arrange
for them to be destroyed,

then I'll report it
to someone who will.

It's idiotic to be sentimental when
it's putting your health at risk.

Oh, look! It's wonderful!

Yes, home to seagulls,
oystercatchers, pipits.

People aren't allowed on the island
without permission.

But we have permission... don't we?

Well, we've got the keys to the
lighthouse, so... more or less, yes.

Well, I'm a pillar of the community,
I can't break the law.

Don't worry, Sally,
we're not breaking the law!

Only a few people get to visit
Godrevy, we're lucky.

May I ask the patient a question,
Doctor Ellingham?

Yes.

How does this make you feel?

The way Doctor Ellingham
talked to you?

Suggesting you are, "Idiotic."

I said her actions were idiotic,
not her personally.

Honestly...

..it's a bit upsetting.

I don't think the doc
understands what it means

to tell a farmer they've
got to cull the herd.

And it's the sort of thing

that might make you think twice
about coming back here,

if you had a problem?

Right.

So, you think I'm stupid, too?

No, not at all!

Or just some local yokel?

Who'll say what you want
with a bit of prodding and pushing?

No, I think you've misunderstood.
No, no, no,

I understand fine.

The doc might be a rude tosser,
but at least he talks straight

and that's appreciated round here.

You want to sit and take notes?

Take notes on that! And stop
sticking words into my mouth!

Any further questions?

No, thank you.

Be careful on those steps, Sally!
Oh, I'm fine.

SEAGULLS CRY

Here we are.

How lovely to be in Woolf country!

Yes, such a wonderful book.

What was your favourite part?

Er, ooh, I liked...

all the, um...
all the lighthouse stuff.

And the final page,
was very powerful.

It was, wasn't it?

" 'Yes,' she thought, laying down
her brush in extreme fatigues,

" 'I have had my vision.' "

You know, you're quite
unique for Portwenn, Sally.

I can't think of anyone else
around here with whom one

can discuss art
and the finer things of life.

Oh, well, I'm sure the doc would
have some remarkable insights.

The doc (?) Oh, yes, very good.

The man's so stiff
you could lay him on his side

and use him as a shelf (!)

We'll agree to disagree on that one.

Oh.

Oh, my goodness.

Here we are!
Ooh!

PANTING

It's 950 steps to the top.

950?

Well, it'll be worth it.
God, I hope so.

Oof.

BREATHLESS: Nearly there.
Good! Ha!

Careful.

After you.
Oh, thank you.

It's very steep.

Oh!

SHE GASPS

Come on, this way.

Oh.

Oh, my! This is quite the view!

Isn't it just?

Here we go.

Oh! Oh, thank you.

SHE LAUGHS,
SIGHS CONTENTEDLY

I hope you're enjoying yourself?

Oh, I am, I'm glad I came.

I almost didn't, it's been a while.

It must be difficult, losing Clive?

He annoyed me.

And then one day he wasn't around
to be annoying any more.

I miss it.

Being annoyed with him?

Being something with him. Anything!

I think I could have been, um...

..a better wife.

I'm sure you tried your best.

Clive used to say
that sometimes I was elsewhere.

Well, not physically, I mean.

Emotionally?
Yes.

You don't need to feel bad any more.

No. I suppose not.

TEARFULLY: It's just that
now that Clive's gone,

there's an empty space
and I don't know how to fill it.

No, no, no! I'm sorry, I can't!

Sally! Wait!

Ooh.

Sally!
That's not why I came here!

I apologise. It was clumsy of me,
let's just forget it.

No, I think it's better
if I just leave.

SHE YELLS OUT
Sally!

CRASHING
Oh!

Sally!
Uh...

Sally...
Oh.

..are you all right?

AGONISED GROANS

Sally!
Ooh.

Sally?
Ooh.

No...

No, I am not.

Right.

No need to panic.

I have a screwdriver
sticking out my arm.

Call the doctor!

Try and keep them
as clean and dry as possible.

PHONE RINGS
'Portwenn surgery.'

Yeah, OK, all right,
slow down, um, hold on.

Um, Doc, it's an emergency,
it's Donald Abbott.

Yes?
'Er, hello, Sally, er...'

Mrs Tishell, managed to trip over
and injure herself.

'Oh, I just need a second.'

Hello, Doctor, it's Sally Tishell,

Um... I have a screwdriver

'lodged in my forearm,
an inch below the elbow joint.'

Right, whatever you do,
don't pull it out. Where are you?

At the top of Godrevy lighthouse.

Well,
what on earth are you doing there?

'Well, there was this book club'

somebody chose Virginia Woolf,
to be honest,

I couldn't get past the
first chapter, it was so boring.

'All right,
stop talking and listen to me.'

Apply pressure to the wound
to stop the bleeding,

but don't push
the screwdriver in any further.

Lie down and raise your arm
on a table or chair.

Wait for me and stay calm.

Call Penhale and have him
get the lifeboat

and meet me to take me
to Godrevy Island, please.

Thank you, Doctor.

DOG BARKS

HORN HONKS
'Come on!'

You're gonna to have to move this
forward or backwards.

We can't move it, Joe, some moron's
parked it and gone off somewhere.

Where's the lifeboat?

A slight issue, a moron's parked
in front of the lifeboat place.

It's all under control though.

Crisis management is my forte.

I need a boat NOW.

Some say it's an alpha male trait.

Right, it's that one, that's 27...

Hey!
..28...

So, this is your idea
of a stock-take, is it?

Listen, I can explain everything...

You're paying for a share
of the boat with whiskey,

even though I told you not to.

You said you'd cleared it with him.

Figure of speech.

That's about 700 quid's worth
of stock there.

Right, bugger this!

Call me when you've decided
what you wanna do.

Look, you may be in charge,
but I've run businesses all my life!

Yes, run them into the ground!

Is this your boat, now?
Yes. No, oh.

Doesn't matter, get me to Godrevy.

No, Doc, no. This boat's in use.

No, it's not, come on,
I've got to get to Godrevy.

Not you, you get seasick, don't you?
What? No, I don't.

Anyway, you need someone
to pilot the boat. Oh.

Oh, really?! Non-negotiable,
means non-negotiable.

Penhale to the rescue again!

You can let go now.

Doc, just wait a minute!
ENGINE STARTS

We'll be back.

Right, be careful, Penhale,
it's quite shallow here.

It's an emergency, Doc.
Stop worrying.

I know these waters
like the back of my hand.

Can you look where you're going?

THE BOAT JUDDERS

What happened?

It's just a... sea bump.

Er, I don't mean to worry you,
but water's coming in.

Oh, you idiot!

We're sinking!

I can confirm,
there is a hole in the boat.

Right, we need to lighten the load.

Doc, we can't throw her over.

Actually, can you swim?
It's not that far to shore.

Just give me a hand!

Should we be doing this, Doc?

It's either that or sink.

Good point.

THEY STRAIN

Right, that should do it. Let's go.

Is he actually a policeman?

Yes.

Mrs Tishell?
Oh, I'm up here!

BREATHLESS: Wonderful.

Doctor.
Don't move, sit down.

Yes.

What are you doing here?

You told me I could go about
my daily life.

I meant get some rest,
not go chasing around lighthouses.

What? Did you have to bring her?

Shush.

She's lost a lot of blood.

HE GAGS
Yes.

Are you sure you're all right
to continue, Dr Ellingham?

Do you need me to step in?

A screwdriver has punctured
a branch of the brachial artery.

I'll have to pull it out.

I need you to keep your arm
completely still.

I won't move a muscle, doc.

I'll get you something to bite on.

Here you are.

Right, look away.

Look away.

Look away.

SHE WINCES

Oh!
Doctor?

I'm fine, give me some space.

HE VOMITS

PENHALE: The boat's a write-off,

but the lifeboat's on its way.

Oh, dear.

Don't worry, I'm here.
Don't touch her, she's...

Ah!

Oh, God...

You all right?

Ouch.

The shock must
have stopped her heart.

Let's get her away from these wires.

Be terrible if she died, Doctor.

She's not responding to the CPR.

I'll have to give her
a precordial thump.

Pre... That's very dangerous,
Doctor, go ahead.

I can't watch.

SHE GASPS

Yup, that did it,
the heart's got a rhythm.

Now, what's your name?
Donald.

Call the ambulance and have
them meet us on the Portwenn Side.

The lifeboat's coming.

Well, can you help me get her up
and get her downstairs?

Thank you, Doctor.

You came running in my hour of need.
Yes.

What?

Here, where's the boat?

Don't worry, the boat's fine.

A little bit of a, er, rip in it.

A rip?

Please tell me
it didn't bloody sink?

No, it didn't "bloody sink."

We tossed the whisky overboard
so it stayed afloat, so it's fine.

You've damaged his boat
and thrown away all my whisky?!

It was a police emergency.

Bollocks.

Look, you'll be compensated.

Although it's quite
a complicated procedure,

lots of forms, lots of paperwork,

so how about I buy you guys a pint
and we call it quits?

Bollocks.

Two pints?

Fine, I'll get on
with the paperwork.

Oh, thank you.

Oh, thank you for, erm...

For an interesting morning.

I'd ask if there
was gonna be another one,

but I have a feeling
perhaps you are elsewhere?

As Woolf herself said,

"One cannot find peace
by avoiding life."

Oh, I never actually read that book.

Yes, I gathered that.

Well, I've gotta go now,
things to do.

All right. See you at the book club,
then, Sally Tishell.

Only if I can choose the book.

You're gonna be taken to hospital,

where they'll monitor
your heart rhythm for 24 hours

and they'll, erm,
treat the burns on your hands.

Your chest will be sore
and it'll hurt to breathe

because of the bruising
from the thump I gave you.

Do you understand?
Yes.

Right, I'll call the hospital
and monitor your recovery.

I still need to deliver my report,

so you'll be hearing from me,
as well.

Yes.

Come on, Chippy.
You've been here all day, mate.

Well, I wanna drink some more.
I know you do,

which is exactly why you should
get on home and sleep it off.

Well, I don't wanna sleep it off.

I know. On your bike, mate.

Be careful, good luck.

Yes, yes, I know I'm late.

I haven't said anything.

You were going to, though.
No, no.

I mean, sure, you did say you'd
be here, what, over an hour ago.

You do realise
this isn't actually my job?

And if it was, I'd quit.

Oh, look, you're right.
You're right, I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I've been a bit stressed,
this is the one chance

I've got of actually having
a business that works out.

I appreciate you.

SHE SNIGGERS
You appreciate me?!

Yeah, that didn't sound great,
did it?

Er...

I'm not good at saying
this kind of thing.

What I meant was...

..I love you.

Go on.

And you're amazing.

Is that it?
No!

No, and you're the most
important thing in my life and...

I couldn't imagine
not being with you.

What a lovely proposal.

I thought I told you
to go home, Chippy?

Wait, that was a proposal?

Of course it was!

Al, was it?

Yeah, I suppose it was.

Yes!

Yes?
The answer is yes!

Is it?

CHIPPY CHEERS

OK?
Hmm.

Congratulations!

Everyone, Al just proposed
to Morwenna and she said yes!

Drinks on the house!
CHEERING

You didn't tell me
you were gonna propose.

I didn't know I was gonna propose,
it sort of slipped out.

But you meant it, right?

Er...

Electrocuted?
Mm-hmm.

And then her heart stopped.

But you got it started again.

Mm. Can you pass the pepper, please?

Is that good or bad?

Well, it's good for her.

I don't know if it'll affect
her assessment, or not.

Are you worried about that?

No, I'm not.

Well, I'm worried. It could have
serious implications for our future.

Is this about us
having a second child?

Well, it makes things uncertain,
doesn't it?

And I know you don't want
another child anyway.

I didn't say that.

So, you want another child?

If that's what you want, yes.

You'd have a second child?

If you want to, yes.

You're not going to say
that I'm too old, or something?

No, I'm not. Whatever decision
you make, I'll support you.

Thank you, Martin.

You're welcome.

Can I have the pepper, please?

Yeah, sorry.

They want me to do three refresher
courses, starting with lobotomy.

It's our prize goat,
she's jealous of our happiness!

He knows what we get up to.

We are very compatible, physically.

Have you thought about how you are
going to deal with your hemophobia?

Once I have located a suitable vein,

I will insert the needle
and take the blood.
