MATT: 'You OK getting
home?' LISA: 'Yeah, I'll call a cab.'

Here. Thank you.

Here we are.

For your
number. LISA CHUCKLES

Aren't there rules about
doctors dating their patients?

I hereby pronounce you
discharged... out of my care.

UNSETTLING MUSIC

HOST: You can
go straight through.

Good
evening. Hi. Um...

GENTLE CHATTER

I can't imagine how it must
feel to save someone's life.

Yeah, you get a high. It's a
rush. It doesn't last, though.

You know,
the sicker the patient,

the more that they hope
that we can put them right.

And when we can't, we
have this jargon to hide behind,

"terminal"... "end stage"...

or the trusty stand-by,

"irreversible cessation
of circulatory function".

Those are the ones
that you really remember...

..because you've failed.

And you know
that you will again.

LAUGHS SOFTLY

PHONE BUZZES

It's my mate Izzy.

Checking to see
how the first date went?

Go on, report back.

It's not over yet, is it?
So the jury's still out?

LISA GIGGLES,
PASSIONATE PANTING

It meant nothing to her,

that his wife was to be made a
widow and his daughter an orphan.

Now, what is Dickens
saying here about justice?

Anyone who's ever felt
injustice, put up a hand.

I'm feeling it right now,
being lumbered with you lot.

PUPILS LAUGH

SCHOOL BELL RINGS Ah-Ah-Ah!

Wait for it!

This week's assignment.

Why is A Tale Of Two Cities
still relevant today?

An original thinking
piece, guys.

No copying and pasting
off the internet!

You know who you
are! ROWDY CHATTER

When do I get to meet him,
give my seal of approval?

Er, he wants to meet all my friends
and find out what makes me tick.

I dunno, it scares the
crap out of me, Rosie.

Feeling so consumed
by someone so quickly.

Mm. How
can you trust that?

OK. In one sentence,
what's his... appeal?

His spontaneity...
his passion...

..and his commitment
to his work.

Honestly, the stuff he
must deal with every day.

And... he never boasts about it.

It's quite the reverse.

MATT: So, how short are we?

Who's on leave today
that we can pull in?

No, he's visiting
his folks in London.

Find out who's available.
Call me back with a head count.

Offer them decent rates.

Who's this? Shit,
I thought I'd chucked that.

Helen, my ex.

You look happy.

Well, we were
for the first few months.

I actually thought
we might be heading somewhere.

And then she started getting
totally paranoid on me...

..interrogating me over
every text, every phone call.

I'd come back knackered
from a 12-hour shift of mayhem,

and she starts it all again.

When someone gets into
that kind of jealous mindset,

nothing you can say or do
will ever reassure them.

God knows I tried.

So I ended it. For
her sanity as much as mine.

Thank you.

You do know how to
say grace, right?

Huh? LISA LAUGHS

You have the sensitivity
of a kerb stone sometimes,

do you know that?

Oh, well, it's a
gift, what can I say?

That was a feast. You spoil us.
Hope you've got room for dessert.

LISA LAUGHS Let
this go down first!

So, does medicine run
in the family, Matthew?

No, no. I,
er... I broke the mould there.

So, what made you choose
emergency medicine?

The challenge of it.

Never knowing what's
coming through the door next.

You-you see more of life's
extremes in a single day in A&E

than most
people do in a lifetime.

One minute,
you're delivering a baby,

and then the next, you're trying
to bring back a cardiac arrest.

Must be so
stressful. Hmm!

It's about developing
the right mindset.

You can't let yourself
get derailed by thinking

"This patient is somebody's
wife or somebody's father."

You have to vacuum seal
off that part of yourself

and focus on the clinical
problem in front of you.

Can you really do that? Just
cut off your emotions like that?

It's better that
than to suffer burnout.

Survival of the fittest.

Sorry, Lisa
should have warned you

that I can bore for
Britain about my work.

Oh, no, don't be
silly! Not at all.

So, no-one's told me yet how
you two met. Blind date.

Ah, like Trevor and I,
your brother set us up, didn't he?

Bullied me into
it more like. MATT LAUGHS

QUIETLY: You've landed on
your feet with this one.

LISA CHUCKLES No,
you really have!

So, why would you tell them
that we met on a blind date?

A doctor chatting up a
patient. How's that gonna look?

MATT: OK. Let's say one thing
that we're most proud of

and one thing
that we're most ashamed of.

Mm-hm. You first.

Urgh! HALF-LAUGHS

Blimey, my... proudest thing.

OK, it sounds banal... but it
was buying my flat last year.

Even though I'd long
since left home,

my parents were all over
my finances. Hm.

Even my bank statements
still went to them,

and even worse, they
knew all of my debts.

SHE SIGHS

I guess... owning
my own place...

..it was like taking ownership of
myself. You know? Hm.

I did say it was banal.

The truth often
is banal. SHE CHUCKLES

OK, the main event.
What are you most ashamed of?

SHE SIGHS

It was... a few years back...

..at my first
teacher-training placement.

One of my Year Seven girls showed
classic signs of sexual abuse.

Sexualised behaviour and...

..I reported it to our
safeguarding leader.

He knew the family -

the father was a
big-deal school donor.

He said it was just
adolescent acting-out stuff.

I didn't stand my ground.
I never followed up on it.

What happened to the kid?

I don't know.

I was only there a few weeks.

It's always haunted me
that I let her down.

OK. Your turn.

Your most ashamed thing?

I...

..I was at med school...

..I was doing my clinical
practice on the wards...

..and I got the call
that my mother was dying.

But I... I didn't go to her...

..or to her funeral.

She had MS.

Advanced MS.

You know, when
some people are ill,

it really brings out
the best in them.

Not my mum.

Can't remember a
single day of my childhood

when she wasn't at me.

I was a "useless son".

I was "an embarrassment".

I was "worthless".

Classic case of
"doctor heal thyself", eh?

And are you?

Getting there.

How's it going?
Nearly there. Yeah?

The last from my
car. Thank you for your help.

HE CLEARS THROAT

You take care, Lisa.

This the bathroom stuff?

Oh, yeah, don't worry about
that, I'll deal with it.

May as well make a start.
How about we order a delivery?

Don't know about you
guys, I'm famished!

I, er... I booked us a table
at the Italian tonight, remember?

Babe, we can't just chuck her out
after all the help she's been.

STIFFLY: Fine.

I'll just change the
reservation for three.

It's not a big deal if
she comes too, is it?

I just thought tonight
was about, you know?

The two of us,
celebrating this new chapter

that we're about to...

You're right, you're right,
I'm making too much of it.

No, no, no. Look, of
course you're not.

It's fine. I'll
explain, she'll be cool.

I just... I don't...

I don't wanna share you
with anyone tonight.

It's not a
crime, is it? Mm-hm.

Go and do
the deed, woman! Mm-hm!

Hey, Izzy... about eating...

..Matty's actually booked a table at
the Italian. Mmm. Fab, I'm in!

I mean, just for the two of us
to kind of mark him moving in?

No worries. I'll just finish
here and be on my way.

You don't mind, do you?

Hey. It's
a big deal for you, I get it.

Anyway, I shouldn't
leave Banjo for so long.

You're the best.

Wow! Mm-hm?

You've totally
nailed it this time.

Hm-hm! It's not rocket science.
It is a science, though.

Do you know what today is?

Six months to the
day since I moved in.

LAUGHS Check
this out. I, er...

I saw it when
I was at the bank today.

It's an
application to remortgage.

So, we can put it in
both our names... share the cost.

It's a good deal,
it's fixed interest.

I should probably speak
to Dad about it first.

I mean... he did
pay the deposit.

It's too soon, I
get it. No. It's not that!

No, I got ahead of myself.

It's fine, honestly.
It's just, er...

..paying you rent every month

makes me feel more like
a lodger than your...

Really, sweet, forget it.
It's... it's just a stupid impulse.

Subject's closed.

Oh, good, you're still here.
When you're ready, I need a word.

I was just leaving
when the Head came in

and said she's creating
an extra Deputy post,

and I should apply!

SHE CHUCKLES Can
you believe it, Dad?

She must think highly
of you. OUTER DOOR BANGS

It still has to be
advertised, though.

A formality! So
proud of you, Lise. Thank you.

Hey, Trevor, I
thought it was your car outside.

Ah, not stopping. Evelyn needs
the car for her book club.

I just popped
by to drop this off.

We celebrating
something? Mm-hm.

I'll leave
you to do the honours.

Enjoy. Moments like this
don't come every day.

Love you, Dad.
Love you.

Deputy Head, Matt!

The Head's asked me
to apply. CHUCKLES

I'll report directly to her,

developing teacher
training programmes.

Oh, I have tons of
ideas on that already.

And this would be in addition
to your current teaching load?

Yeah, erm, with experience
in team leadership,

never mind overseeing
the curriculum.

Do you really think
you're ready to take that on?

I mean, you're not
great with the pressure

that you're under now, are you?

SHE SCOFFS

Who says I'm not?

Look how stressed you got
over those damn GCSE results.

I was just nervous for them.

I try and keep a lid on the stress
of my job... not bring it home.

I-I may not always
succeed, but I do try.

But if you're under
pressure too...

It's-it's about
our quality of life, Lisa.

The precious time
that we have together.

I can't tell you the amount
of times that I've turned down

invitations
to medical conferences.

I'm talking high-end.
Shanghai, New Orleans.

That's awful! I would
never expect you to...

No, I wanted to!

Because what we have is
the most important thing in my life!

Being apart isn't good
for any relationship, is it?

I'm not prepared
to take that risk.

I'm being selfish... Ignore me.

You worked
really hard for this...

..do what's right for you.

A late one! Tell
me about it.

God, I am totally JP FROGGED.

Just-Plain-Fucking-Run-Out-of-Gas.
SOFT SCOFF

I tried calling you a couple of
times, but your phone was off.

I was with the Head.

I withdrew my application
for the Deputy job.

Why did you do that?
For us. Like we talked about.

I never asked you to do that,
Lisa. Well, not in so many words, but...

No. I remember exactly what I
said. I said that it's your career

and that you must do
what's right for you.

Don't put this on me if you're
having second thoughts about it.

Trick with making a
decision is to own it.

If it was a mistake,
learn from it, and move on.

Anything else
is just self-indulgent.

How about this? I
know that you've been banging on

for me to talk to your students
about emergency medicine.

Name a day... I'll book it
off. That's my consolation prize, is it?

Don't say I didn't offer.

Is that my phone?

Mine was out of juice.
You don't mind, do you?

Here. Have it back!

Come on, baby,
how can I fix this?

Next Thursday... two o'clock...

..in the assembly hall.

MUFFLED MUSIC, WATER TRICKLES

If I ever found a fella
who'd treat me like yours,

I'd think I'd
died and gone to bloody heaven!

Matt should start a fan club.

Listen, I've gotta to go soon,
Lise. Dawn run to the flower market.

The party's barely
just got going!

And I thought you'd
outsourced the flower run

to your new assistant?

What is it, Iz? Has
someone upset you?

Tell me who and I'll go
fucking sort 'em out, babe!

What's going on,
Izzy? Talk to me.

I wasn't gonna
say anything tonight,

but... I can't know something
like this and not tell you.

Something like what?
Jasmin, my cousin?

Yeah, when I suggested
she come here tonight,

she didn't realise
that Matt was your partner.

She used to work with him at
A&E. He told me. He used to mentor her.

Right! Is that what he calls it?

She said he
was always coming on to her.

He never left her alone. Then,
in the end, she had to transfer to

a different hospital
just to get away from him.

This was barely weeks
after he'd moved in with you, Lisa.

And did she make a formal
complaint about him?

Well, he's
senior to her, isn't he?

It's her word
against his. Exactly.

So, what? Is she still here?

Let's go and find her, let
her tell me to my face.

Listen, she thought
it best to just leave.

But yeah, I
think you should talk to her,

hear it from her first-hand
and make a judgement then.

Do you know, I want is

for you to have some bloody
trust in my judgement!

Do you really think
that I would be with him

if I thought he was capable of
anything like that? No! But...

Look, I didn't believe
it at first either.

But Jasmin has no reason to...
I don't even wanna hear it, Izzy!

You're right. You should go.

Lisa! Just go, Izzy.

She said what?!

She said that that's why Jasmin
transferred to another hospital.

I was half expecting something
like this when I saw her tonight.

It wasn't me harassing her...
it was the other way around!

She was always trying it on
with me. I mean, full on.

At first, I
thought she might have assumed

that my offer to mentor
her meant something else.

SLURPS WINE I told
her, as senior registrar,

it's part of my job.

Didn't stop her. Finally, I
said, "If you don't back off...

"I'm gonna go to HR
and lodge a formal complaint."

Next thing I knew, she'd quit...
gone to another hospital.

Why would Izzy buy her story?

Think about it, you've been
best friends since forever.

Suddenly, you're no longer
at her beck and call.

So she poisons you,
makes me out to be

some kind of philandering shit.

We break up, mission
accomplished, she's got you back.

Izzy would never do that!
You're loyal to her, I get that.

But I can't think
of any other reason

why she would wanna buy
Jasmin's bullshit about me, can you?

Of course, if you don't
trust me... No, I believe you.

Don't say it if you're not sure.

I am sure.

Let's get you to
bed, birthday girl. Mm-hm.

Rosaria's asked us to stay at her
parents' villa near Barcelona.

Any time after term ends, she said.
It's free board, an infinity pool,

and all we've gotta do is
cough up for the flights.

I'd rather go away
without Rosaria tagging along.

I thought you liked her?

It doesn't mean that I wanna spend
my precious holiday time with her.

She's probably only asking you

because she's bored shitless,
stuck there on her own.

You're beyond gullible
sometimes, Lise.

People do what works for them...
what's in their own interest.

It's one thing
seeing the best in them,

it's another
letting them use you.

So, my talk to
your students... Mm-hm.

..I thought I'd kick it off

with how science is
the apex of human achievement.

Without it, there'd be

no electricity,
penicillin, internet, etc.

It's only science that
got us through the pandemic,

alerted us to climate change.

What've their airy-fairy arty
subjects ever contributed to mankind

compared with all of that?

Why do you have to turn
everything into a competition?

Science saves lives, yes,

but it's stories, music, theatre...
it enriches people's lives.

Tell that to the guy driving
a truck... or digging up the roads.

Who's to say they won't
get anything from it?

Culture is the sign of
a civilised society.

It's there for
everyone who wants it.

Everyone who wants to understand
who we are as human beings,

our internal lives, and how we
feel and relate to each other.

Honestly, it's like the idea
of that threatens you somehow.

SOFTLY: OK. Come here.

There's a nerve... here...

called the branchial motor.

It's part of
the facial nervous system.

If you were clumsy,
press too hard,

you risk paralysing the
entire facial nerve structure,

causing
unbearable agonising pain.

You know I'd never really
hurt you, right, Lisa?

TRAIN HORN BLARES IN DISTANCE

VOICE QUIVERING: Turn it off.

Matty, what's wrong?

I'm no good for you.

We're polar opposites
in every single way.

If we felt the same
about everything,

how boring would that be?

It's good to
challenge each other.

See things through each other's
eyes. And do you?

See things through mine?

I want to.

Maybe we both need to
try a bit harder at that.

You deserve better than me.

I don't think I can face being
here when you figure that out.

And you will.

Look, we'll face bumps in
the road... I know that.

But if we're honest with each
other and keep talking...

..we'll ride them out together.

The remortgage.

You really
want this? I want us.

Now, Dr Goodson has taken time
out of his very busy schedule,

so be sure to show your appreciation
when he arrives. All right?

Cutting it fine,
isn't he? LISA SIGHS

I know.

Did you call him?

I've been calling
him all morning.

I've no idea what's going
on. I'm gonna try him again.

I know. I
just couldn't get away.

I called A&E, Matty. They said
you'd been off shift for two hours.

Who the fuck said
that? Someone on reception.

They checked the
rota to confirm it.

The bloody rota changes
every five minutes.

But the one time that
you don't call or text!

VIOLENT BANG Jesus Christ!

We had multiple
injuries from a pile-up.

A baby with
suspected meningitis.

And a guy who had managed
to amputate half of his arm

with a chainsaw,
and this was before lunch.

So I'm sorry
if that took priority!

They were disappointed,
that's all.

This isn't about THEIR
disappointment, it's about yours!

That you couldn't parade me
around like some kind of trophy!

Well, if that isn't an
inflated ego talking.

Coming from the spoilt
only child! URGENT KNOCK AT DOOR

KNOCKING CONTINUES

Everything OK here?

Have you done something
to your hair, Layla?

It's taken years off of
you, hasn't it, Lisa?

It looks gorgeous.

We'll keep it down.
Sorry about that, my love.

What's going on with you, Matty?
You're seriously asking me that?

You need to learn
that other people's needs

take priority over yours, Lisa.

Less of the first person
singular. The "me, me, me".

It's a really ugly trait.

You'll get there.

And I'll try and be more
patient until you do.

You just promise me
that you'll work on it?

Deal?

Good girl.

Hello, stranger.

Ian! THEY CHUCKLE

So, are you with anyone
now, or... An A&E doctor.

Wow! Yep. I mean,

he can fix me if
I'm ever broken.

No need to ask the same of you.

I've got you to
thank for that. SHE CHUCKLES

You always said I
should be more spontaneous. Yes.

So, after we split, I thought,
"What have I got to lose?"

So I joined a dating app.

"Like-Minded Professionals

Oh, no. And
I found it.

I'm happy for you...

..really.

one more? If you do.

Two more, please.

MATT WHISPERS: All right,
all right. No, tomorrow.

I'll call
tomorrow. I promise. OK?

You're still up.

Been working on next
year's lesson plans.

If you say so.

When I texted you earlier,
you were in a bar, weren't you?

Wh... How did you even know?

That's not the point.
The point is why you lied.

I ran into my ex, Ian.

We had a quick drink
for a catch-up.

How cosy. He just wanted to
tell me he's happily married and...

If it was so innocent,
why'd you fucking lie about it?

To avoid the exact conversation
we're having right now

cos I knew you
would go off on one!

I see. So-So you deliberately
lie, and then it's my fault?

You're always texting
me, checking up on me.

Dear God! So now I'm too attentive.
I can't bloody win, can I?

All right, well, if
that's being attentive,

then you won't mind telling me
who you were talking to just now?

Outside, just now, I heard you.
I don't believe I'm hearing this!

Someone from work needed
advice about one of her patients.

And are you "mentoring" her too?

What, so I can't even talk
to a fucking colleague now?!

Listen to yourself, Lisa!

You blatantly lie, and
then you try and turn it around

so that I'm the one
that's in the fucking wrong!

can't be us! It's YOU!
