Mr. Lake, I'm Susannah
Marshall, specialist.

- Nice to meet you Susannah, I got a call?

- Yeah, the nurses are
querying cellulitis.

So how are you handling
your age, Mr. Lake?

- Fine, thank you.

You can call me Rob.

Calling a consultant by his first name.

I hope the sky doesn't come crashing down.

- Good morning.
- Good morning.

This guy, not to panic.

I can order the ultrasound,
it's on the way.

You really are new here.

- Why do you say that?
- You'll see.

You're kinda curious, yeah?

- Thanks, Mr. Lake.

Dr Clacy, sorry to
bother you, I'm Rob Lake.

I wonder if I could trouble you to do

a ultrasound on a gurney
patient with a suspected DVT?

I have to make sure this
gets through your skull.

Go and get a form, fill it in

and get your consultant to sign it.

- I am the consultant.

Come on, push. You're doing really well.

Give it a real push, go on, you can do it.

You're doing really well.

Okay, its crowning.

Here it comes, here it
comes, come on, push.

- Good girl.
- That's it, come on.

Ingrid, I'm the doctor, I'm Mr. Lake.

Come on, you're
doing really, really well.

That's it, come on, you
can do it, that's it.

Right now you're doing so well.

Push, I can see the head,
you're doing so well.

Push, go on now, push.

Hey Ingrid, looks like a lot.

Really well.

- Really big push now.
- Okay, nice big push.

That's it, push down, go on.

- Good girl.
- Push, push.

The baby's coming, come on Ingrid.

Come on, good girl.

- Come on Ingrid, big push.
- Good girl.

That's it, good girl.

Okay, the baby's out, let's go, push.

Push, come on.

- Push harder.
- Come on.

That's it girl, come on.

Right, someone keep an eye on the clock.

Ingrid, we're pushing your legs

right back to open the pelvis up.

Your baby's shoulders
are jammed at the moment.

This is gonna help get
the shoulders out, okay?

Okay, big push darling, big push.

Push.

Good girl.

Susannah, see if there's any pressure.

Keep pushing, keep pushing.

- Come on Ingrid, let's go.
- Really good.

Really push, come on.

Come on, really push.
- I'm gonna try turning it.

- You're doing so well.
- Well done, well done.

That's it, we're
just gonna turn it around.

- 60 seconds.
- All right.

We've still got time.

I'm gonna try and
release the shoulders.

Come on Ingrid, keep pushing.

Come on Ingrid, push.

The baby's jammed, I
can't get him out, fuck.

- One minute 30.
- Do it.

I'll make the call.

Ingrid, big push, come
on, come on, Ingrid!

- Keep going.
- Come on.

Ingrid listen to me,
this is very important.

You're gonna hear a crack now.

I'm gonna have to crack
your baby's collarbone.

He will heal but I've gotta do it

to get your baby out, do you understand?

All right, all right.

- You got to push.
- Come on.

You're doing really well.

It's a boy, its a lovely boy.

Well done Ingrid, good girl, scissors?

Where is the baby?

It's all right, they're
just checking the baby out.

- Is he okay?
- Yeah.

They're just checking him,
that's why the doctors are here.

We're just giving him
some oxygen, okay Ingrid?

Why can't I hear him?
- Okay, gentle push out.

He's fine.

Another push, there we go.

Okay.

Just the placenta, well done.

- Is he okay?
- It's all right Ingrid.

Don't worry, don't worry.

What's wrong?

They're just checking him out.

The doctors are just checking
him out, he'll be all right.

Sutures.

A few more minutes, a few more minutes.

You did really well.

They just checking him
out, he'll be all right.

Ah, hey there little one.

Good.

Well done Ingrid, well done.

Congratulations Ingrid, well done.

Well done.

Fucking hell.

You're all done.

- Here's your baby.
- Thank you.

He's so beautiful.

You're so beautiful.

- Congratulations.
- Thank you.

Busy day?

Sorry I didn't call ahead.

Is everything right?

- We had a shoulder dystocia.
- Oh god, how's the baby?

Doing fine.

You ever managed one before?

Once, at the start of
my registrar rotation.

Clearly.

What I realized today was back then

when I was in Reg, I was a lot calmer.

There was always someone else to call,

someone else to blame.

Well the previous
generation had 30,000 hours

of training before becoming
consultants, we got 8,000.

You'll get through it, everyone does.

Not everyone.

You're not Hurley.

- Where are the boys?
- I've been phoning you.

I left my mobile at work.

I was in a rush, I didn't want to be late.

The boys aren't coming.

But I've planned the whole day.

Why not?

I don't think it's
appropriate at the moment.

I'm not saying that you
can't ever see them.

But it wouldn't be fair on the boys.

It wouldn't be fair on you.

Harriet, listen, this
whole thing is a stupid

misunderstanding that's got
completely out of control.

People are turning it
into something it isn't.

They're turning me into
something you know I'm not.

The way it would work would be

for the visits to be
supervised by a social worker.

They'll be short at first but
then they'll go back to normal

as soon as the social worker
is satisfied that the boys...

Aren't in any danger?

What's going on between us is one thing,

but please don't let this
stupid misunderstanding

drive a wedge between me and our children.

Well, well.

Hello Tony.

Chrissy.

Should we talk here or would

you rather we went to the clubhouse?

Well here, I have a very tight schedule.

Of course.

Is it the reason you're far too
busy to come to the hospital

or indeed return any of my calls?

The tight schedule?

We want to make a deal, Sir Paul and I.

Who with, the Devil?

Worse, with you, Mr. Whitman.

We'll rescind your suspension

and drop all charges against you.

Well as you can see, I'm
rather enjoying my suspension.

You have a dwindling private practice.

Without your NHS employment,
you get no more referrals.

Simply not true at all.

If you think life is good,
then that's fine, Tony.

But I think this could
be like Kevin's epiphany.

Keegan on the golf course at
La Manga finally realizing

he was pissing away his
knowledge of the game.

Kevin Keegan, fucking hell.

Ah, here's my golf partner.

Excuse me, lovely talking to you, Chrissy.

I wouldn't call it a
pain or even a discomfort.

I call it more a sense of unease

or as if something wasn't quite right,

as it should be.

The feeling seems
focused on my lower tummy

but then radiates outward
sometimes as well.

What do you think, Mr. Whitman?

A situation has arisen with
Roger Hurley and Sir Paul

and I feel it will be in
everyone's best interest

if he were to take a
position at another hospital.

At last you've caught on
to Hurley's incompetence.

I see why they gave you a gong.

The match in question does not relate

to Roger Hurley's clinical practice.

He received a caution
for exposing himself.

Roger.

Roger Hurley will require
a hagiographic reference

from the senior consultants
in the IG Department

in order to move him
on quickly and quietly.

Clearly this reference would
be best served if the senior

consultant in question is
not currently on suspension.

I took a coffee refill from the hospital

canteen and you charged me with theft.

I was suspended for three
years, my career put on hold.

You bastards, you pair
of total cocking wankers.

Good,

good.

I'll let Chrissy here
iron out the details.

- Tony.
- Polly.

Have you been up to anything
while I've been away?

He should be here by 8:00 a.m.

If he's not, don't leave
it to the administrators.

Call the agency itself.

Okay.

I'll keep the mobile on 'til midday.

So if you need me for
anything, I'm available.

Thanks, Rob.

Hey Mary, how are you?

Good, emptying the in
tray before your holiday?

Not really a holiday, more
of a pre-paternal leave.

Will you be back for the
regional O and G Forum?

We're hosting and I'm counting

on a full departmental presence.

Yeah, I will be back but I am gonna miss

the interviews for the
new consultant post.

That's not gonna be a problem, is it?

No, we don't normally ask a recently

appointed consultant to sit on the panel.

Okay.

Well, enjoy the break.

Thank you.

What are you doing?

Well, there's loads to do.

I've only got a week's leave,

So I just thought I'd
get stuck right into it.

We said yellow for the walls.

We changed our minds about the pink.

I'm sorry.

Now it's what?

I want to assure you, Mr. Hurley,

we've listened to all
sides in this matter.

Well if you've listened to me,

you'll know I'm the victim
of a deep misunderstanding.

But you do see how this allegation

does great damage to the hospital's image.

As I categorically deny the allegation,

I'm sure Paul will support me.

He decided not to attend this meeting.

I have a proposal for you.

A position has become vacant
at University Hospital.

Okay.

Hello?

Oh yeah.

How did you get this number?

No no, just I'm surprised to
hear from you, that's all.

I can't really give you an answer now.

Can I call you back on this number?

All right, bye.

So?

So?

How are you doing?

I'm good, you?

Good.

How come you're in town?

You've not moved down here, have you?

No, I've still got my flat in Edinburgh.

You did you degree?

To one in English Lit.

- Congratulations.
- Thanks.

And now?

Journalism, I did a post-grad diploma.

I've done pieces for The Nursing
Times or the health pages

of some of the dailies,
mainly in Scotland.

Excellent, you got there
and you stayed there.

Not entirely.

I did agency work when I was a student.

I still do from time to time
when I could use the money.

And you, a consultant yet?

Yeah, I'm on my first post.

How's it going?

Yeah, it's good.

That's a good.

A wife and kids next?

That'll be the day.

How about you?

Divorced now.

You have a nice time?

Sorry, I didn't mean wake you.

I'm not awake.

How's Rich?

He's fine.

- University Hospital.
- It's Mr. Roger Hurley.

I might not be on your staff roll yet.

- Welcome to UH, Mr. Hurley.
- Thank you.

Just a small token,
Roger, to welcome you aboard.

It's a very kind
thought, thank you Mary.

We're very excited to
have you join our team.

We should set aside some time as soon

as possible to discuss
your research program.

Oh, I thought I'd
give that a little while

just 'til I find my feet.

Well, that's for later.

For now, I was gonna prevail
upon you to deliver a lecture.

We're hosting the next
Regional O and G forum.

Well, I wouldn't want to tread on

the other consultants' toes.
- Oh god, no.

Yes, but you see how it might seem?

I've just arrived and already
hogging the limelight.

Roger, there's no point in having

one of the country's
leading ovarian experts

on staff without
exploiting him shamelessly.

I'd be delighted to help, Mary.

Well, thank you Roger, have a good day.

You too.

Would you like to come through?

Ready?

Yes, sorry.

Sorry boss, have you seen this woman?

Yeah, she's very attractive, isn't she?

Not my type.

You see the size of her lats?

They're like a padded elephant.

Hello?

Now you know why I'm in town.

You knew about Hurley?

No, that was a coincidence.

I came to write the story
and discovered he'd moved.

What story?

A dangerous doctor.

How whistleblowers are silenced

and ostracized so that Hurley
can continue to practice.

Whistleblowers are silenced

and ostracized for more
complex reasons than that.

Yeah, that's exactly the perspective

I want to put in my piece.

No.

You'd be off the record.

All the things you've ever wanted to say

about Hurley and couldn't,
they'd be out in the open.

Dr Hurley is a danger to patients.

I've looked at all the arguments

back and forth, they're meaningless.

He's a monster, doctors like him should

be struck off and never
allowed to practice again.

I've moved on.

Thank you, sister.

Actually I'll just check the back.

Okay, let's go and see her.

- She seems fine.
- Good.

Thank you, sister.

Who's next, Farah?

Tracy Clark, she came
in on last night's take.

Tracy, hi, I'm Roger
Hurley, I'm a consultant.

Dr. Hamid was just telling
me about your admission.

Initially seen by the
surgeons with acute abdomen.

They're happy to exclude
anything surgically acute.

Referred to gyno with LIF pain

which seems to have subsided overnight.

I'd like to examine you
now, if that's okay Tracy.

Can I get an ultrasound
scan for Tracey please?

- Yes, Mr. Hurley.
- Thank you.

Shit.

Do you think we should have

the baby in with us for
the first few weeks?

You'll never guess who
started at work today.

Who?

Hurley.

My god, you're kidding.

Keep out of it, Rob.

I will.

Keep out of it, you
nearly ruined your career.

It did ruin Tony's.

Roger Hurley isn't your boss anymore.

He's not got a hold over you.

He's a consultant, you're a consultant.

You're separate, don't
give him the time of day.

You're preaching to the converted.

I really don't give a
toss where Hurley works.

Mr. Whitman, I need to talk to you.

Mr. Whitman, do you have a minute?

For you?

Of course, Miss Grey.

Was it just a coincidence Roger Hurley

left around the same
time that you arrived?

We're our own fish.

You didn't do anything to
smooth the path, did you?

- Like what?
- For a start,

he'd need a reference.

Polly, I can absolutely assure
you on my mother's grave...

For Christ's sake, I knew it.

It was testify that Roger Hurley

was this hospital's answer
or spend the rest of my life

being stupefied by the vages
of endless Tory housewives.

Did you even consider where he'd go,

who's gonna end up being his colleague?

Polly.

And why did they need
to get rid of him anyway?

None of the malpractice allegations stuck.

He had received a police caution.

What for?

Exposure.

Fucking hell, Tony.

Polly.

Let's see.

Tracy, good morning, did
you get a scan today?

No.

All right, I'll come
back to you, thank you.

Dr. Clacy, so I should
tell you I'm Roger Hurley.

Did my specialty trainee
Dr. Hamid speak to you

about an abdominal
ultrasound for Tracy Clark?

We had a discussion.

She said the patients says
she hasn't had her scan.

You'll have to leave
her notes at reception.

I'm sorry, Dr. Clacy,

do you think you might be
able to fit her in today?

Hold on, Tracy.

Still hasn't had her scan?
- No, I'm sorry, I tried.

It's too bloody late now,
we'll have to open her up.

All right Tracy, we're going to the back.

All right, Tracy.

Okay, let's switch 'em.

Contorted cyst, it was twisted

two or three times, we're
gonna have to untwist it.

Oh, shit.

Suction.

Swab.

That's you, make sure it's sucking.

Fucking hell.

Another swab, please.

Nurse, cocker?

I can't see a bloody thing.

Suction.

In here, in here.

BP is dropping.

Suction Farah, come on.

I've gotta be able to see
what the fuck I'm doing.

Sorry Rob, we can't get in yet.

Mr. Hurley's got a new
med assistant in theater.

For fuck's
sake, we're losing her.

Suction now, here.

Suction now, Farah, come on.

Bloody hell, Farah, will you
get the suction in there?

Ah, shit.

The clot in there.

Yeah, got it, good.

I've gotta cut it with these.

Well done, everyone.
- Well done to you too,

Mr. Hurley.

Can I have a tie please?

Some music, please.

Thank you.

- Hi.
- Hey.

I was gonna ask if you wanted

a coffee but you've already got one.

Do you mind if I ask,
is everything all right?

Yeah, fine.

Something to that.

Rob.

Have you two been introduced?

The opportunity hasn't come up actually.

Oh well, I suppose this is it then.

Rob was my SPR when we
still called them SPRs.

I trained him.

- Mary.
- Oh, excuse me.

Sure.

You knew I was working here.

Well, it's not a situation
I would have chosen.

It's the way things turned out for me.

But we could try and
make the best of things.

You know, Ahab and the whale.

Congratulations on your
appointment by the way.

Thanks and congratulations
on yours, Roger.

Thank you.

- Thank you, Roger.
- Of course.

One gurney, no mortalities.

I had one patient transfer to HDU

following perioperative blood loss.

I'm happy to say that
she's doing very well now.

Can you tell us more about

the perioperative blood
loss please, Roger?

Yes, the patient was admitted
with left ovarian pain.

Before we could make a firm diagnosis,

the ovary hemorrhaged but
oophorectomy was successful.

Any further questions for Mr. Hurley?

Thank you.

Ms. Dodd, we had no
maternal or fetal mortality.

We experienced a shoulder dystocia

which resulted in a clavicular fracture.

However, I'm pleased to say that mother

and baby are now doing extremely well.

We performed 12 Cesarean
sections, giving a rate of 24%.

As you know Rob, that's in excess

of the target to satisfy
the Department of Health.

Would anyone like to comment?

You know, that's gynecology.

You'll feel weak for about 24 hours

and then we'll assess your progress

but hopefully home in the next few days.

Thank you.

Donna?

Donna.
- Roger.

What a surprise, how are you?

I'm fine, thank you.

- What brings you here?
- Oh, agency work.

I thought you'd left
all this behind you.

How many of us have tried and failed?

Quite, listen I can't stop but

really, really nice to see you.

- Sure.
- Yeah.

You sure you don't want a couple?

Plenty of a time for skiving
when I'm on maternity leave.

I hope you have a quiet night.

I definitely won't be
back before midnight.

I might go and see Rich then.

Again?

Yeah, he said something about

getting together to watch the game.

You don't mind, do you?

The amount you two are seeing

of each other, you should
be having an affair.

I'll have my main please, sir.

- All right.
- Been here long?

No, just arrived.

I'll grab us a seat.

There you go, mate.

Thank you.

Richard, I need a bit of advice.

About you and Polly?

Fuck off, no.

I've been feeling kind of weighed.

What are your symptoms?

A month history of insomnia,

a bit of short term memory loss, anxiety.

A sense of fear, feeling on
edge and a nervous tremor.

Christ, you've described what

it's like to be a first year consultant.

Trust me mate, I've been there.

Come see me as a PP.

Thanks.

So what are you thinking?

I'm thinking that this
is probably nothing, Lake.

Except for you being totally
stressed out about your job,

your relationship and
impending fatherhood.

Okay.

How many neurological patients whose

symptoms are originally
put down to neurosis

actually turn out to
have an organic illness?

Most.

Rich, I really don't
think this is nothing.

Okay.

What would be a differential?

Do you eat beef, beef products?

Have you ever received an injury
from a surgical instrument?

It's a possibility, nothing more.

The answer is yes to both.

I'll do the test but it's not

an easy diagnosis to
make at this early stage.

You're thinking the worst, mate.

We don't even have a diagnosis yet.

Of course I'm thinking
the fucking worst.

Variant CJD progresses to dementia.

Death occurs between 12 and 24 months.

If I've got it, there's absolutely

fuck all you can do for me.

I can destroy my notes.

Give you time to buy critical
illness and life insurance.

Though that might be premature.

I'm a doctor, I know what I've got.

You've got a baby due.

Whatever the diagnosis, you've
gotta get your life sorted.

I heard you come in.

Sorry, I'll be up soon.

Is everything okay?

Fine.

I just thought with the
baby, nothing morbid.

I was thinking about
the Serinda Carr case.

I'm sorry?

She was an emergency c-section, twins,

previa, we lost one of the twins.

Ah yes, it was something.

You cut my hand.

Did I?

During the section with a scalpel.

I don't recall.

If I didn't do so at a
time, then I apologize now.

I just want you to remember.

That was three years ago.

I assumed we wouldn't
be revisiting old cases.

This is new start for the both of us.

Listen, we haven't really
established operating protocols.

I had a boss once that could
be a danger to patients.

Shit.

You ever see me doing
anything like that,

you step in and stop me handling.

Rob, you're taking on the ball.

I know, I'm just saying you save

the patient from coming to harm, okay?

ID.

Speaking.

Hi.

No, it's just your call took
me by surprise, that's all.

Let me think about it and I'll see

how it fits in with our plans.

Yes.

Okay, bye.

Spicy.

I'm sorry if my invitation
took you by surprise.

I've moved to another hospital.

I haven't really met any problems yet.

So have you seen anyone from the old days?

I've lost touch.

Yeah, I suppose I'm the same.

That's not quite true, is it Roger?

Rob Lake.

Oh yes, we're trying to
make the best of it though.

Does he want to make
the best of it though?

As I recall, you got
him suspended and then

you refused to provide
him with a job reference.

I look back on that adversarial

relationship with some measure of regret.

I was a fairly new consultant only

a couple of years into my
post, I was inexperienced.

There were things that I didn't deal with

as well as I could have
and Rob was one of those.

You never struck me

as someone who suffered from self-doubt.

Why did you move jobs, Roger?

I was ready for a change
and the post at UH came up.

But you were in your
element, Clinical Director.

Harriet and I are no longer together.

It felt like a fresh start.

I'm sorry.

It's such a surprise,
seeing you on the ward.

A very pleasant surprise.

One of the things I
realized about my last post

was that I didn't confide
enough in my colleagues.

As a new consultant,

I should have been open
to advice more often

and I should have tried to
share the pressures more.

What pressures do you mean?

I felt vulnerable to criticism.

What doctor on earth doesn't?

A single accusation and it
could be the end of your career.

Occasionally procedures didn't
go as well as they might have

and you continue as if
these things have no effect.

But they do.

Fuck's sake Pol, don't you ever

check the dates on these packages?

We're having all this food
delivered and it doesn't

end up on our plates, it
doesn't end up in the freezer.

It ends up in the fucking bin.

How much money are we
pissing away on this lot?

Christ Rob, it's only a few quid.

It's not only a few quid, is it?

And it isn't the only thing.

You've got a wardrobe in there

half-full of clothes that you never wear.

Because I got pregnant.

- How much money do you owe?
- What?

How much money do you
owe on the credit card?

Don't know.

Well, roughly to the nearest thousand?

What are you talking about?

We're having a baby, Polly.

Don't you understand
that we have to provide?

Hi, Rob.

Thanks.

- Is this her?
- Who?

The right patient.

Dawn Blair, vaginal hysterectomy?

Is everything all right?

I just don't want any
fuck ups, that's all.

Hey.

Expecting a good turn out, Roger?

Very good.

I received this.

It came by the internal mail

addressed to me as Clinical Director.

I decided to look over the notes relating

to your patient who had the
severe perioperative hemorrhage.

She was admitted as an
acute abdomen but you

didn't make the diagnosis
'til nearly 36 hours later,

by which time her condition
was life-threatening.

Well, there were problems
securing an ultrasound scan.

Oh, I see.

So you're aware of Dr.
Clacy's personal style.

It's a matter for the
Radiology Department,

we just have to make the best of it.

I'm sorry Roger, consider
the matter closed.

Thank you, Mary.

So I've decided the only
thing to do is open it up.

Are you sure it's this way?

Bloody UH, their signs
don't make any sense.

Anyway, this thing is
shaped like a football.

So I said, "Why not turn it inside out"

"so you can use it as a swimming pool?"

Tony.

Rob.

Rumors of my death and all that.

You don't have to go everywhere

handcuffed to a security guard then.

It's the post-suspension equivalent

of care in the community.

Who's the unlucky hospital?

I gotta go.

You're fucking kidding.

He's back at your place,

you're working with him and
you never said anything?

Because you'd react like this.

I'm reacting like this
because you never said anything.

I'll be the reasonable one.

Welcome everyone and
it's particularly pleasing

to see those colleagues who've made

the journey from our
neighboring hospitals.

I'm convinced that it's Rob.

And are you worried that

you might have done
something to bring it about?

Well, you could argue that I should

have followed up on the
ultrasound straight away.

It's my responsibility to ensure that

my staff carry out the
orders they've been given.

Then we'd have had the
diagnosis and I could

have operated well before
she nearly bled to death.

Well you weren't to know about

the programs with getting scans.

Now you've got the lay of the land,

you're back in your stride.

Thanks, Donna.

Delivery room one please, thank you.

Victoria and Tania, you're midwife.

Let's get ready to deliver the baby.

Okay, you're all right.

How is it, see?

Take it easy, okay, slowly
does it, slowly does it.

Have you been consulted?

All right, sorry, I'm
gonna turn the uterus.

I'm gonna put this over your face, okay?

Some oxygen for you and the baby.

Do light breaths, okay?

We'll look after you.

Keep your arms straight,
don't move around.

Farah, quickly.

BP's 90 over 60.

Okay, there's the baby's heartbeat.

Yes.

The ultrasound now, please.

Thank you, Farah.

Farah, often a rupture is
difficult to visualize,

so a diagnosis has to be
purely on clinical grounds.

Victoria, it's most likely the placenta

has detached from the lining of the wound,

causing the severe blood loss.

At this point, the baby's not in distress

and we're replacing your blood loss.

Hopefully the placenta will stabilize

and the bleeding will stop, okay?

BP's still 90 over 60.

Let's give her two units
with the cross-batch, please.

You're doing very well.

All right.

In fact you, a visualization
of the static, please.

Was it you, the anonymous note?

This conversation
sounds familiar somehow.

I thought you said you've moved on.

What changed your mind?

The question is is Hurley changed?

Has he moved on from killing
mothers and their babies?

It's still red?

Victoria, I was hoping

the bleeding would stop but it hasn't.

I'm afraid I'm now
concerned for the well-being

of your baby if we delay any longer.

I would like your consent for
a Cesarean section, please.

Good, it's the safest course.

Transfer her to 30, please.

Forceps and scissors, please.

We're doing a vertical incision

because the uterus is small for the date.

Oh shit, suction.

Swabs.

I can't get in.

Shit.

Sending this in.

- BP 90 over 40.
- Pressure, doctor.

I can hear, for fuck's sake.

Going down.

Apply the pressure.

Culture skintight phase.

More compression for pain.

Is there a placenta?

A couple jacks on that, please.

Cover across tear in vitro
mammogram for injection.

Come on.

Okay, let's try and save the uterus.

Gimme a big stitch, please.

Come on, I can't see a bloody thing.

Suction, come on.

She's in VF arrest.

Charge the defib to 200.

Clear.

- Clear.
- Shocking.

Start chest compressions.

If we compress the uterus...

- We got mobility?
- Yeah.

Okay.

Continue chiro management.

Excellent, who's next?
- Ms. Hall.

- Ready?
- Yes.

Simon, I'm afraid I've got some bad news.

We did everything we
could, unfortunately...

But the bleeding was very severe,

we weren't able to stop it.

- But my baby.
- The baby was premature

and very weak, the bleeding was
too severe to save his life.

I'm really sorry, son, I
understand what a difficult time

this is for you and if there's
anything I can do, please...

- But why?
- Don't hesitate to ask.

I did everything I could for them but

the degree of fetal anoxia and
the volume of blood loss was,

the bleeding was torrential.

Perhaps I could have got
the baby out a bit sooner

or made an earlier decision
to carry out the hysterectomy.

Would that have made any
difference, do you think?

I don't know, it's impossible to say.

But it might have saved her life.

Yes, it might've.

You know, all these
decisions lie in a gray area

of clinical judgment
and I thought that once

I'd been a consultant for long enough that

the gray areas would become
black or white but they haven't.

I'm not sure if they do for anyone.

Was it something like this
that made you move, Roger?

No, that was a separate matter of

a silly misunderstanding,
the police got involved.

They didn't press any
charges but it was yet

another thing to come
between Harriet and me and...

It's okay Roger, it's okay.

Do you still see your husband?

Ex.

You're single now.
- No, it's separated.

That's single.

So what happened with
you and the police?

I was drunk.

Things were bad between
Harriet and me and well,

they hadn't been good for awhile.

Things weren't great at work either.

I don't remember much about it but

I couldn't find a toilet

and I used an alleyway or something.

I was convinced no one could see me.

You were having a piss?

Of course, why, what
did you think I meant?

No.

What are you playing at with Roger?

I'm researching my story.

That's it?

Perhaps I could have
got the baby out a bit sooner

or made an earlier decision
to carry out the hysterectomy.

Would that have made
any difference, do you think?

I don't know,
it's impossible to say.

But it might
have saved her life.

Yes, it might've.

When are you filing your story?

I thought I understood him.

But...

I understand him.

I understand that a dangerous doctor

should not be protected by the system.

He should be punished by it.

He got in trouble with the police.

I'm with someone.

I'm back on the hospital grapevine.

I heard about Polly the baby.

I should have told you earlier.

I didn't want to sound
like one of those guys

who says my wife doesn't understand me.

Our relationship just kind of happened.

Pregnancy just kind of happened.

I don't know if any of
it's really what I wanted

or even what she wants.

I've been here before.

I had to put my life in order.

Now it's your turn.

First Tony, now Hurley.

What are you talking about?

Did you know he had a police
caution and not tell me?

We agreed you and Roger Hurley

would keep away from each other.

I didn't want to inflame the situation.

Someone had to write
a reference for him.

Who could that have been?

- It was Tony.
- Exactly.

Tony fucking Whitman.

He's written that reference
to get his job back.

You're working with him again.

This guy committed professional suicide

over some dippy little
thing that he had for you.

Is he working today?

Is he?

Rob, Rob?

Callie isn't pressurized,

so I've gotta keep her below 10,000 feet.

Hi, Rob.

What are you doing here?

Excuse us, thank you.

Polly's having a scamp.

Ah, the young Lake in the making.

Let's hope he's not
all surly and Northern.

You've sold out, haven't you, Tony?

Giving Hurley a reference so you can

grease your way back in.

And to cap it off, his
first post is at my place.

Yes, that was hilarious
I admit but unintentional.

Yeah, it's fucking hilarious.

Your reference carried because
you're a senior consultant.

I want you to rescind it

and I want you to
testify to all of Haley's

fuck ups that he's
committed over the years.

As a senior consultant,
you'll be believed.

Why you looking for trouble, Rob?

We've been through all that holy shit

and were lucky to survive it.

I'm boss of my department again,

you're a consultant on your own post.

It's time to look to the future, son.

Still breech, shit.

Hope you don't mind.

Where is he?

Don't know.

I thought you might need
a little moral support.

Why are you doing this?

- Someone has to.
- No one has to.

- I do.
- Why?

Tell me.

All that we've worked
for, what we got now.

That's what's at stake.

I know.

Why now,

now that we've got a future?

You think that we have a future?

I've done nothing for too long.

It's time I finished Hurley.

Drive me home.

Pulse and respiration
were absent in the baby,

a boy weighing 1.94 kilograms.

He did not respond to resuscitation

and was pronounced dead at 16:11.

The mother was severely
hemodynamically compromised

by the abruption, urgent
efforts were made to close

the uterus but the patient
experienced a VF arrest.

She received six cycles of CPR

but did not recover from her cyst.

She was pronounced dead at 18:30.

I've arranged counseling
for the patient's husband

and the same opportunity has been

afforded to all the staff involved.

What incision did you employ?

Well given the state of the pregnancy,

I adopted a vertical
incision of the uterus.

It's unorthodox to use a
vertical incision after 28 weeks.

Why would you do that?

The uterus appeared small for the date

and I judged it to be the
appropriate technique.

How long did it take
you to deliver the baby

from the time after you opened the uterus?

I'd have to consult
my notes, I don't know.

That's okay, I've got them here.

Working backwards from the
time of the baby's death,

about five minutes.

I'd argue that this delay
contributed to the baby's death

and that an orthodox transverse incision

would have resulted in a prompt delivery.

Mr. Lake, we appreciate
the M and M meeting

as a forum for robust debate but I...

Did you avoid an orthodox
transverse incision

because you were concerned about extension

into the venous plexus
of the broad ligament?

Well, we're all aware that

that is the rationale behind
the vertical approach.

Did you consider
hysterectomy in the mother?

Yes, of course.

At once?

Well obviously it was an option.

- At once?
- Mr Lake, I really think...

You delayed a hysterectomy in the mom

because you wanted to give the patient,

a primigravida the chance
of having another baby

and in delaying the hysterectomy,

You allowed her to exsanguinate.

Mr. Lake, I'm gonna
have ask you to leave...

Now I'm asking about
Karen Taylor and her baby.

Mr Lake, if you have a talk...

Let's talk about Karen Taylor, Mary

'cause this is a case
that you're aware of.

Roger Hurley managed a placental abruption

four years ago in which the mother

Karen Tyler was left brain-damaged

and her 28 week gestation
baby was stillborn.

Karen Taylor's brain damage occurred

as a result of Mr. Hurley extending

the uterine incision
into the broad ligament,

which is why he was desperate not to make

the same mistake this
time but in doing so,

he caused an adverse delay
in delivering the baby.

As in the case with Karen Taylor,

he also delayed performing a hysterectomy,

which is a mistake you haven't
learned from, Roger and it's

the cardinal error responsible
for Victoria Newby's death.

Something caused her fibroids.

- Mr Lake.
- Ms. Dodd, see...

Come with me at once, Mr Lake.

I would like an explanation
for your outrageous conduct.

I want to protect the
patients from Hurley.

We look into every maternal death.

We've looked into this one and there's

no evidence that Roger
Hurley was negligent.

He fucked up the Cesarean

and he fucked up the hysterectomy.

- You're wrong about him, Rob.
- I was his SPR.

You're wrong about him.

He's a decent, hardworking consultant.

Then why is his reference fake?

Would you have given him a job here

knowing that he had a police
caution for a sexual offense?

Clearly I need to look
into this allegation.

Yeah, I'd say so.

You'll stop him seeing
patients in the meantime?

You do your job and I'll do mine.

Who've you been talking to?

No one.

Well you must've talked to someone, Tony

because UH are querying
Roger Hurley's reference.

I resent the assumption I'm
the one with loose lips here.

I'm can assure you, Sir Paul...

Oh just stop it, this
isn't "The Apprentice."

You do understand what this means?

- Well yes, we've been caught.
- We?

Oh, here we go again.

Can I help you, Rob?

You seem pretty friendly with Roger,

given that he's under investigation.

Well, I've looked into
this matter and I find

your accusations against Roger
baseless for two reasons.

Firstly, that although
his profession is exempt

under the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act,

Roger was under no obligation
to declare a caution.

It was his hospital who sought

to conceal it from his new employers.

If it should have been

in his reference, he
should have declared it.

More importantly, that the nature

of the misdemeanor as
described to me has no bearing

on Roger's fitness to
practice as a consultant

obstetrician and gynecologist.

Our management here is butting heads

with their management over
there, so let's leave them to it.

I don't take kindly to one
doctor in my department

seeking to denounce another,
doctors stick together.

What pressures do you mean?

I felt vulnerable to criticism.

What doctor on earth doesn't?

A single accusation could
be the end of your career.

Occasionally procedures didn't
go as well as they might

have but you continue as if
these things have no effect.

But they do.

So, you found a story yet or what?

You tried your best but

maybe it's too complicated.

People want simple answers
to who's a good doctor,

who's a bad doctor and there isn't one.

I'm relying on you, Donna.

You always said doctors
should deal with doctors.

You're not going to the
medical authorities, are you?

This expose on Hurley was
just to get your career going

and now you don't want to burn any bridges

just in case this crappy
journalism goes tits up

and you have to go back to
wiping asses for a living.

Fuck you.

Am I the only one who sees
this in black and white?

Roger Hurley has gotta be stopped.

You could see it before I arrived.

Maybe my crappy journalism
is the kick up the arse

you needed, the excuse to
do what you should have done

a long time ago but
didn't have the balls for.

You may have sweet-talked Mary,

Roger but you and I know the truth.

So I thought we had an understanding.

Why don't you let this drop, Rob?

You destroy people's lives.

If you attack me, then
I have to defend myself.

You destroy people's lives,
then you just walk away.

I do mean that I've just spoken

at length with Victoria Newby's husband.

Widower.

I've just spoken to him at length

and he like everyone else involved,

agrees that this was a tragic accident.

Then I'll make the complaint.

You weren't there.

Your testimony would be
speculation, nothing more.

Who's gonna take a complaint
like that seriously?

Shit.

The contractions are four minutes apart.

Well she's breech, she
was due for an elective.

She needs an emergency section.

Fuck it.

What, something wrong?

- The phone.
- Oh shit, ow.

It's okay, I'll sort it.

It's Mr. Lake, who's
covering obstetrics today?

What's happening?

We're gonna have to go up to my place.

I'll go and get scrubs on.

The consultant's
waiting for you, Mrs. Lake.

Hello, it's Polly, isn't it?

Hey, I'm Sarah, I'm your
nurse, let's pop you up.

Okay, now we need to
get you up on the table

so we can get you a room.
- No, no, I'm in contraction.

All right.

Hello, Polly.

Everything's perfectly routine.

We'll get your spinal and by then,

Rob should be back here with you.

- No.
- We should crack on, yeah?

Okay, Polly.

We'll get started.

A bit of pushing and pulling there, Polly.

Of course you know all this.

You're doing really well, Mrs. Lake.

I'm not Mrs.

The dads don't
usually get this close, Rob.

I'm not the usual
dad though, am I Roger?

Scissors and forceps, please.

That's not the procedure.

Mr. Hurley, I'm relieving you.

Everybody wait while I scrub.

What are you doing,
Rob, Rob, what's wrong?

Nothing's wrong
Polly, Rob, are you mad?

I'm about to deliver the baby.

You're endangering the patient

and the baby's lives, I'm taking over.

- Rob what's gone wrong?
- Nothing's gone wrong, Polly.

Everything is absolutely
routine and under control.

Does anyone disagree?

Right, then we're gonna do

the correct thing and
continue with the delivery.

I'm the baby's father and
you'll respect my wishes.

Somebody get me a gown.

I'm withdrawing consent
for you to continue, Roger.

Rob, this is insane.

You're making a mess of this

operation Roger, I'm taking over.

Rob, has he damaged
by bladder or something?

What's going on?
- No Polly,

the bladder has
successfully been reflected.

Everything's fine.

I'm intervening before he
does do some damage, Polly.

Rob, you're
totally out of order.

You can't deliver your own baby.

There's no such rule.

However, there is one
against negligent practice.

I'm not negligent,
I'm not being negligent.

Great Rob, tell me what's happening.

Everything's perfectly fine.

Rob, this is ridiculous.

Everything's gonna be fine.

Step aside, Roger.
- Rob.

- Step aside, Roger.
- Please don't do this.

- Roger.
- Please stop this.

Roger.

Please don't do
this, please don't, no.

Clean knife.

Please stop it.

Please.

Close it up.

Scissors.

Where is she?

Congratulations.

With the first one, there's
possibly feelings of denial,

that you're not ready to be a father.

It's an emotionally difficult time.

We don't always know
how we're gonna respond.

I suppose I'm saying, Rob,

I don't want this to turn into something.

My girlfriend could have bled.

My baby could have died.

But that's clearly not the case.

I'll say that you were just about

to put your scalp into a bladder.

You'll say, you mean you'll lie?

Truth, lies, a wee bit late

for such unhelpful
distinctions, don't you think?

But the birth staff, they'll back me up.

I'm the consultant obstetrician.

Who's word counts for more?

This is insane Rob, why?

Why are you doing this to me?

She'll see you now.

Rob, I don't deserve this.

Either you were risking my life

and our baby's life or
you were using us both

to further your personal
vendetta against Roger Hurley.

Roger Hurley destroys
people's lives, Polly.

He kills people.
- Was I in danger?

Was our baby in danger?

He kills people.

You bastard, Rob, you never
really wanted this baby.

You never really wanted me.

You were prepared to risk it all for,

you'll never see this baby
grow up, never, never.

Hello Mary, how can I help?

Sorry, Sharon, can you
give us 10 minutes please?

I'm very sorry, Roger.

I've received formal
notification from Rob Lake

that he's reporting you
for alleged negligence

during the delivery of his baby daughter.

He's also reporting Tony Whitman

for providing a false reference.

Let me tell you, I did everything I could

to deter him but he's blowing the whistle.

No, it's denunciation.

A word to the the
authorities and then suddenly

a poor innocent is like me
shipped off to the gulag?

Look, there are a dozen
consultants and an administrator.

Surely together, we can shut him up.

He's reported you to the
General Medical Council.

I don't deserve this, Mary,
I don't deserve any of it.

I'm sorry, Roger.

I've had no choice but to advise

management to suspend you
from clinical practice.

They'll allow 15 minutes
for you to clean your desk.

Take as long as you want.

Ah well good, good.

All right.

I think we'll probably have

to keep an eye on this, but you know.

So?

So?

I'm feeling okay, better
than I thought I would.

Good, good.

- I'm really sorry, Tony.
- Ah, look, the GMC,

you know what they'll
do, they'll skirt around

the real issues and
they'll probably ban me

from writing references or something.

Other than that, I'm fine, seriously.

You know, I've had some experience

with babies 20 years ago.

They still use nappies or they
invented something better?

I'm serious Polly, if you need
anything, anything at all.

Thank you Tony, you're a good friend.

Well, I was hoping
that I'd be rather more.

I guess you're a pushover now, hmm?

Hard up, single mom.

Seriously Polly, I mean it.

Is there any chance that
there'd be more love there?

No.

Just a tiny chance?

No, Tony.

A teeny, weeny, tiny chance?

Maybe.

I need a minute.

Thank you.

You blew the whistle.

You always said you'd never do that.

I did.

It's as likely to ruin
your career as mine.

Maybe both.

You made mistakes too.

I did.

Medical mistakes that hurt
people, that cost lives.

I did

and I tried to make
things right when I could.

You didn't.

The system doesn't allow for that

level of understanding, only blame.

You could have asked for help.

Really?

Did you ever?

For years a dangerous doctor

has been protected, quietly moved on.

The glowing reference has been falsified.

I really don't believe
that the GMC won't want

to know who knew what and
who covered what last.

Babies and mothers are being harmed.

It could take years.

Like you said, it's something

I should've done a long time ago.

All I needed was an excuse.

You gonna go back to nursing, then?

I missed it.

I didn't think I would but I did.

I really missed helping people.

Yeah?

Somewhere.

Pre-diagnosis can never be 100% certain.

That means that the news I
give you at this early stage

can't pretend to be
either a death sentence

or a clean bill of health.

I understand.

How do you feel?

- Good.

Good.
