(SEAGULLS CALL)

(CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKS)

(BLOW5)

Hello, there.

Oh, it's you.

Um...?
Beth Traywick.

Mm.
How are you doing?

So, is the doctor free?

Oh, I'm afraid he's not holding
surgery today.

If it's an emergency, you can go to
the Wadebridge surgery.

So, you're closed?

Yes. But you're here.

I'm just here to tell people that
we're closed.

So, is the doctor in?

Yes, but... l

But you're not gonna let me see him.

I'm sorry.

No, good for you, standing your
ground.

I've told you, go away!

All right, OK.

Yeah.

Why are you shouting?
It's been like this all week.

I'm sitting here like a lemon.

Shouldn't we just put a sign on the
door?

No. You need to tell anyone with a
genuine medical emergency

they must travel to Wadebridge.
You're still being paid.

You've put your references in the
wrong format.

Martin, this is my essay, and I
really need to get a good grade.

(SIGHS)

Look, I know you're worried about
the hearing and I am too.

But I need to get this done.

Look, go for a walk.

Go and get us a fish. Please?

Mm-hm.

(BELL)

Hello, there.

You probably don't remember me.

Yes, you're the American.
How can I help you? Yes.

I'm doing a bit more research on my
family tree,

and everybody said you would be the
person to ask.

You see, I'm a Traywick, but
apparently one of my relatives

who was born in this parish went by
the surname of "Treharn".

Yes, I know the Treharns.
Oh.

I know everyone round here.

Oh. And are there any records
of the family?

It depends which branch of the
Treharns you want.

There's the Treharns of Port
Gaverne, the Treharns of St Kew.

Oh, and also there's the Treharns
of Port Quin as well.

Aren't they the same family?
Course not.

Oh, that's confusing. Customer.

(HOARSE) Have you got anything
for this?

What?
Why don't I take you to lunch?

You know, pick your brains.
Because I'm quite busy.

Sorry, what was it you were saying?

I've been all over this village,
and you know more about

this place than anybody else.
Yes, that is true.

Sorry, I didn't quite catch...
Her throat.

She needs something for her
obviously sore throat.

Yes, thank you.

I mean, I've learned more from you
in 30 seconds

than I have...in days.

It would really mean a lot to me.

Well, I only have 40 minutes for
lunch,

but I suppose you could come in at
12, then, and I can cook.

Well, thank you. All right,
fantastic. I'll see you later.

Well, I didn't catch... Could you
just speak up?

(SEAGULLS CALL)

Ruth!

Oh, Martin. I was going to come and
see you later.

I did some digging as to who was on
the panel,

and it turns out the chairperson is
Professor Langan.

Oh.
Well, that's good, isn't it?

Wasn't he your consultant when you
were training?

So, practically a mentor.

He also expressed extreme regret,
bordering on abuse,

when I gave up surgical work.
Oh.

Let's hope age has softened him.

I'll be there tomorrow to lend
support.

You really don't need to.
I know I don't.

But I want to. So I'll be there.

Ah, Doc. Here, I've just been up to
the surgery

but Morwenna said you were closed.

She's right.
Oh, it'll only take a minute.

I'm not practising, Mr... What's your
name?

Potter. Bill Potter. I run the
pottery workshop.

I know what you're thinking.

I can't help you. You need to go to
Wadebridge.

I've got a whole order to do for
next month's craft fair.

It's my busiest time of year. But
then I got this lump, see?

My mate Dave, he said it was a
gangfion.

Is Dave a doctor?
A fitness instructor.

He doesn't know what he's talking
about, then. Wadebridge.

Here's the doc, he'll tell you
himself. The surgery is closed.

You tell 'em. I'm not doing your job
for you.

If you need to be seen today, go to
Wadebridge.

ALL: Wadebridge?!

(RINGS)

Wadebfldge.

Sorry, Mrs T, the doc's still not
open.

This isn't a medical enquiry,
Morwenna.

It's more of a discussion between

fellow medical professionals.

(sums) I

Doc? (CLATTERS)

The surgery isn't open.

I just brought you the supplies you
ordered last week.

I don't need them. I still have my
current set of supplies.

I know how serious these hearings
can be.

Is your wife providing enough
emotional and physical support?

What?

Anything I can do to help you,
Doctor, just you holler.

I just want a bit of peace and quiet
to gut this fish, thank you.

Yes.

So it's done? Not quite.

I've just gotta finish this mix.

It has to be ready for this evening.

If I'd have known it was gonna be
such a last minute rush...

I've got a huge workload to do, Joe.

This lump on my wrist isn't helping,
either.

Maybe I should go to Wadebridge,
like the doc said.

I'd say right now work
should be your priority,

especially the work
you're doing for me.

It's just a lump,
it can't be that bad.

Dave, you know Dave?

He's a fitness trainer I play
football with at weekends.

You all told me you'd stopped
playing.

Yeah, we have. We just um...
We just meet for coffee now.

Anyway, he said it was um...a
gangfion?

That there's a technique you can use
that makes it go away.

Why haven't you done it? I can't.

You have to hit it with a book
and it disappears.

Well, I could do that.

Really? Of course.

All right, then. Yeah.

Here, use this one.
And then it's back to work.

Right, just put your hand down
on the table.

Wait, wait, wait. Will it hurt?

No. It'll be fine.

(THUD)

Argh! Ooh, bloody hell! Don't worry.

Don't worry? I'm bleeding
everywhere.

Just need a bandage or something.

On the shelf, first-aid kit.

Hold on one sec.

Oh, we shouldn't have done that.

No... It's... It's fine.

The lump's gone down,
so it worked, didn't it?

I 'spose. Come on, do it up really
tight, stop the bleeding.

Stop struggling, then. (EXHALES)

How do you feel?

Like somebody hit me
with a big book.

But, yeah, the bleeding is stopping
now.

And the lump has gone.

Told you. There you go.

Right, back to work.

Sorry, I should have said something
about being a vegan.

No need to apologise. I'm just glad
I found

some lettuce and carrots in the
fridge.

Yes, it looks delicious. Thank you.

Now, I've done a little preliminary
research

on your family name. I haven't had
much time, obviously.

Tell me why you're so keen
to dig up your family name again.

Well, gosh, that's...great.

Um...well, I just haven't been
feeling that well lately,

and I discovered that different
generations of my family

have had the same illness, which
I think I could have too.

The Celtic Curse.

Oh, I think you are referring to
hereditary haemochromatosis,

a genetic disorder where the body
absorbs too much iron.

Yes.

Particularly prevalent in people
from Celtic origins.

Ireland, Cornwall...

That's really impressive
that you know that.

Well, I like to keep myself
informed.

Well, anyway, my concern is that
I have this curse as well.

It is hereditary.

I can't possibly diagnose you, that
would be quite improper.

You'll have to go and see the
doctor.

That's kind of why I'm here. I was
hoping to see him today.

Unfortunately, that is a wasted
journey.

He's not practising at the moment.

So I've heard. What is that about?

Well, I couldn't really say.

Because you don't know?
No. Cos he has enough problems

without someone like me betraying
his trust.

Oh, he's got a problem.
Go to Wadebridge.

Wade...bridge.

Well, I kind of had my heart set on
Doctor Ellingham.

Well, the last time I saw him,
I was intrigued.

I actually did some research on him.

You know, he used to be a surgeon.

Yes, I'm very well aware of -
The youngest-ever to qualify.

Look at that.
You've got a file on him?

Yes. When I find someone
interesting,

I like to dig into their history
a bit

and find out what makes them tick.

Both my ex-husbands were doctors,

and they cannot hold a candle to
Doctor Ellingham.

I've got to open up the shop now.

What? Lunch...is...over.

Oh. You need to go.

G0'. Oh.

Now. Out! I

OK.

Oh, yeah. Chris.

Oh. How are you holding up?

I haven't seen a patient in a week.

It's ridiculous. I'm turning them
away.

Good. Wash your hand
after touching that dog.

Look, I just wanna go over
what's gonna happen tomorrow,

so we get the right outcome.
Yes, right, come through.

(SEAGULLS CALL)

Just here.
Thank you.

Look, maybe if you gave Professor
Langan a quick call

ahead of the hearing.
Why would I do that?

To reacquaint yourself with him, get
him onside.

He's a very stubborn man, very
self-opinionated.

Plus, I read his report

on hypertrophic pulmonary
osteoarthropathy.

Did you see it? Not exactly current.

It left a lot to be desired.
(SHOP BELL TINKLES)

I'm representing you
at this hearing tomorrow,

and that kind of attitude
will cause us problems.

And believe me, your haemophobia
is problem enough.

Doctor Ellingham!

Beth Traywick.

Latanoprost prescription.

Yes, the American. Yeah.

I came by to see you earlier,

but your receptionist wouldn't let
me in.

I'm afraid Doctor Ellingham isn't
practising at the moment.

So people keep telling me. I hope
it's nothing serious.

Listen, if they don't appreciate
you over here,

you should come across the pond.

Someone like you could make a
killing in the States.

I'm fine where I am, thank you.

You know, I may drop by later

because I have a little medical
mystery.

Sorry, I'm not sure you understand.

He is not practising today,
under any circumstances.

I understand.

I'll see you later.

What were you doing?
Arranging to see the doctor.

I just told you he can't see anyone
just now.

Not before the hearing.

Oh, so it's that kind of trouble.

Some terrible woman made a complaint
against him.

It's all nonsense. The point is,

it's important he doesn't practise
right now, understood?

Like I told him, "If they're
treating you this badly,

come to America. We'll look after
you."

What about an apology to Alice
Taylor?

I haven't done anything wrong. Why
should I apologise?

Lemon sole, no butter. Yes, the same.

Any wine? No, no, not for me.

I've been on the wagon for six
months now. Steady as she goes.

The apology is not about whether
you think it's warranted.

It's to show the panel you're
willing to meet them halfway.

And it would make my life very much
easier.

I've spent years fielding complaints
about you.

You've already blown one career in
surgery.

Don't blow this one too.
It won't come to that.

You don't know that, Martin.

Seen it happen. One bad hearing, a
whole career's collapsed.

You've got a nice life here.
A wife, child, a lovely dog.

Don't throw all of that away. You
don't know how valuable

these things are until they're gone,
trust me.

Things can change pretty fast, and
when they do, you're left...

"with nothing.

I hear you're in trouble, Doc. You
can faint on me any time.

Tosser! (GIGGLING)

(DOOR SHUTS)

How did the lunch with Chris go?

Oh, my fish was a bit dry.

I didn't mean the actual lunch.

What did he say about tomorrow?

He has concerns.

Did he say you could lose your job?

He thinks it's a possibility, yeah.

(SIGHS) What are you gonna do?

Um...l have all my arguments
prepared.

But it's not the same as addressing
your problem.

You passed out in the consulting
room.

How can you convince them it won't
happen again?

I can't.

Sorry, Doc, it's Beth Traywick.

She's back and she's being very
assertive,

and I'm being assertive back,

but she's probably had more practice
than me.

Oh.

She's an American.

I thought I'd made myself clear.

That you're not seeing normal
patients, yes.

But I'm not a normal patient.

And, I'm willing to pay for your
services.

No, that's out of the question.

I'm not asking you to treat me. I
just want your opinion.

See, I think I might be suffering
from the plight of the Traywicks.

Which is? Liver failure,

by way of haemochromatosis.

What makes you think you have that?

It's hereditary.

My grandfather had it, and his
great-grandfather.

I can't treat you but I can discuss
it with you. Go through.

So, we're seeing patients but we're
not seeing patients?

She's not a patient.

(DOOR CLOSES)

My symptoms only started to make
sense

once I looked into the family
history.

And then I was just gonna go home
and see my own doctor,

but he's kind of a mental midget
compared to you.

Then what are these symptoms?

Um...some weight loss,
fatigue, loss of libido.

Um...irritation of the feet,
especially after a hot shower.

It's been going on about a month
now.

You're not bronzed, which is a common
symptom.

You seem more flushed.
Oh, do I?

Well, I stay out of the sun.

Any abdominal pain?

A little now and then. That's
probably wear and tear.

You know, I read about you.

I beg your pardon? I Googled you.

And then I read about you. You were
quite the surgeon.

How did you end up here?

I didn't come in here to discuss
myself.

Well, if this was a proper
consultation, no,

but we're just two people chatting
away.

(LEAVES RUSTLE)
So many folks back home

would love to have
a doctor like you.

You're smart, and educated, and
no-nonsense.

What is it?

Yes, excuse me.

What are you doing, Mrs Tishell?

Um...l was just double-checking

that I'd given you the correct
supplies.

Why didn't you come to the front?

Because I know you're not
practising,

and it would take a very selfish woman
to disturb you during such a time.

Just go away.

Sorry about that.

She seems very...fond of you.

Um...yes, well,

you'll need to go to Wadebridge
for a blood test.

You need a full blood count and a
biochemistry profile

to check your liver function
and iron levels.

No offence, but I don't want some
Wadebridge dude

looking over my blood work, I came
to see you.

It's just a test. Your results will
come to me.

Oh, OK.

Thank you.

You know, I recently went through
some trials of my own.

Well, if I might give you
one bit of advice -

I don't want any advice, thank you.

It's never as bad as you think.

Just leave your details with the
receptionist on your way out,

and I'll get back to you when your
results come in.

I will.

Thanks.l

Sally, are you all right?

No. No, I am not all right.

You know the doctor's not meant to see
patients, and yet still you persisted.

I just wanted to ask his opinion.
He's a very smart man.

Oh, I am well aware of that,
just as I'm well aware

of your plan to spirit him across
the ocean.

OK, OK, you just need to calm down.

I

I'm sorry. No, I didn't mean that.
That was an accident.

You did that on purpose. What is
wrong with you?

Are you insane? No!

And I've got the certificate to
prove it.

On the house.

Oh, no, no, no. I don't...

No, no, you are a special guest,

and that is why we are relying on
you to save the doc.

(SIGHS) It's not up to me.
AL: Well, who else is there?

It's not like the doc can save
himself.

What do you reckon his chances are
tomorrow?

I can't possibly discuss that.
So, not good, then?

No, that's not what I meant.

Oh, talk about a bad day! I need a
drink.

Chris was just telling us how screwed
he thinks the doc is.

Oh. You've got a plan, though,
right, to save him?

The best person to save Martin is
Martin himself.

Now, before you say anything,

I know you've got a nose for
whiskies.

Oh, I did, yeah, but I've not had a
drink for a while.

We have a new product that we're
rolling out. Right?

Large Special Blend, and I need an
aficionado.

Take a taste and tell me what you
think.

Well... Oh, go on, have a sip.

Oh.

(SNIFFS)

It's not too bad. There's a gentle
smokiness

blended with wood and spice.

An eye for detail. That is why you
are the man

to sit on that panel and
get the doc back to work.

Well, I'll try and do my best.

Right, where do you want me?

Want you for what?
The unveiling. Remember?

You said I could do it in the pub.

I mean I could do it at the station
but it's pretty cramped

and I think people got too scared to
reply to the invite.

I thought you were joking.

You thought I was joking

about commissioning a bust to myself

and then having a public event to
commemorate its completion?

(EXHALES)
You've got a strange

sense of humour, Al, I'll give you
that.

MARTIN: And if you hold it there,

just move it, that's it,

and you can listen to your heart
beating.

That was originally invented by a
French doctor

who was uncomfortable holding his ear
to the chests of ladies

to listen to their hearts beat.

I'm just gonna pop out for an hour
just to get some fresh air.

I've been at the computer all day.

Are you all right with that?
Yes, fine.

Bye- bye.

See you later.

And it was an Irish doctor,

Arthur Leared, who invented this
binaural version.

It's a big day tomorrow. Here's one
for the road.

Maybe I should testify?

Got a lot of influence in these
parts.

Oh, yes, good idea. You any good at
public speaking?

(SCOFFS)

Watch and learn.

All right, listen up, people.

(CLEARS THROAT) Everybody quiet.

(CHATTERING)

(BANGS BAR) Shush!

Thank you.

(CHUCKLES) Surprise.

Elation.

Humility.

These were the emotions I felt when
Exeter HQ informed me

that I was the longest serving
policeman in Portwenn history.

Oh. Question.

Questions at the end.
That is the question.

When will this speech end?
(LAUGHTER)

Come on, eh?

Come on, Joe, let's see it. Just
take the cloth off.

Come on!
Louisa, just in time.

Is Martin... No. I'm just...

Oh, Louisa, hello.
MORWENNA: Take it off!

I was wondering if I could have a
word?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Sit down.
Maybe somewhere quieter.

Take it off! Take it off,
take it off!

I've got a room upstairs.
Maybe I'lljust...

All right, all right, all right, all
right.

(SIGHS) Drum roll, please?

(LAUGHTER)

There's a crack in your head, Joe.

I

No, in the bust, Joe.

There's a crack in the bust.

(sums) I

Oh, do you want a drink?

No.

I think maybe you shouldn't, either.

Yeah, you're right. Well, maybe one
for the road, huh?

It's been a difficult month.

Tomorrow's hearing, oh, well,

that's the icing on a burnt cake.

Chris...

I don't think Martin's being
entirely honest with me

about how serious this is.

I think he doesn't want to worry me.

You should be. You should be
worried.

Look, I know he could lose his job,

but do you think it's likely?

Well, increasingly so,
unfortunately.

The only way to avoid it is if he's
humble

and shows he's sorry, but that won't
happen, will it?

No. Surely there's something you can
do?

That's how life goes sometimes.
Things go wrong,

you do your best to put them right
but...

...it's not enough.

Chris, is everything OK?

Yeah, it's just...

I'm having some problems at home,
with Helen.

Big problems.

Oh, I'm sorry to hear that.

She's asked for a divorce.

She says that there's nothing left.

That I am...

...a grey, uninteresting man and she
needs a life of colour.

No, that's not true. Look, she's
wrong about that.

Is she, though? Yes.

I mean really? Yes, of course.

No, you're one of the good ones.

That's why Martin and I are really
relying on you tomorrow.

It's nice to know that someone
cares.

Look, you know you can speak to me
anytime you have a problem

in the same way I feel I can speak to
you.

Thank you. Aw. It's all right.

Chris?

Chris, no, that's very inappropriate.

Chris?

Chris...

Oh, God...

(PHONE)

L0ui... (RINGS)

Loui...

(RINGS)

Louisa.

What?

Maybe you can get it fixed?

He's upstairs. Louisa's with him.

Oh, right.

Do you want me to take him home?

Er...yes, good idea. Come on, then.

He's just started having another
fit.

How long ago? A few seconds.

How many has he had? Two.

OK, has he been drinking? Yes, loads.

Why's this happening to him?
Seizure.

It's a reaction to the alcohol.

He told me he gave up drinking six
months ago.

Right, do you think you'll be able to
hold his arm still?

Yes.

And straight. That's it.

OK, that's it.

I didn't know you were coming to see
him.

I wanted to see if there was

anything he could do to help
tomorrow.

It's the panel, it's not him.
No, but I'm worried about you,

about what's gonna happen if you're
not the doc any more.

(GROANS) Martin...

You had a grand mal seizure due to
alcohol withdrawal.

Awful whisky.

(PANTS) I

Oh, Louisa, I shouldn't have tried
to kiss you.

What?

Yes, I was gonna let you know later.

Other symptoms? Any other erratic
behaviour?

No, he's just had too much to drink.

He's just had a seizure. I must make
sure

there's no connection between the
two.

The two being the seizure and...

Kissing you. Erratic behaviour.

To rule things out like a brain
tumour.

Are you implying, cos he tried to
kiss me,

something's wrong with his brain?

No. Oh, I don't know,

perhaps he just finds me attractive.

I suppose we'll have to put him into
protective custody.

I don't wanna go to jail.
ls that necessary?

It just means I'd supervise him
overnight.

He can sleep on the sofa.

Oh, Martin, look, you may not be a
doctor after tomorrow,

but I'm very proud to consider you
my friend.

Doc, is he OK?
I think he had a few too many.

Not a great advert for our Special
Blend.

He'd stopped drinking. He had a
problem.

Didn't he tell you?
He might have, in passing.

Why did you serve him? It's so
irresponsible.

Don't worry, Doc, I'm coming
tomorrow to speak up for you.

Oh, er...that's not necessary.
It's my duty, Doc.

I've got your back. (DOOR SHUTS)

(SNORES)

(DOG PANTS)

(GROANS)

(DOG WHINES)

Huh.

Oh, I'm so sorry for last night.

That wasn't very clever, was it?

No, you're right.

Oh, Louisa.

My behaviour was inexcusable.
Let's just forget it.

You should take an anti-convulsant
for six months,

and go and see your GP.

I'll write a letter explaining the
details of your fit.

Morning, Doc. I've got Beth
Traywick's blood test results.

Right. Can you get hold of her for
me, please?

Yep. Oh, Martin,

you said you'd stopped practising.

And you said you weren't drinking,
Chris Parsons.

You're hardly in a position to
lecture anyone.

It's been a very difficult time.

Louisa, er...

Look, honestly, I wouldn't dream
of...

Well, you know?

I was very drunk. I understand.

Oh! I'm sorry.
Cloth.

LS it OK? Um... (FIZZLING)

Let's try it.

It's not switching on.

Well, there's a repair place in
Truro.

I don't have time to get it repaired

because my essay's due in at 12:00.

Just tell them what happened.

"L spilt something on my computer"

is like the new "dog ate my
homework".

It'll look like I didn't do it,
or I couldn't do it.

It's fine, it's fine. It's fine.
I've got my notes.

Martin, can I use the computer in
the consulting room?

Yes, of course you can.

Sorry. (DOOR SHUTS)

I should go and um...

...change, for the hearing.

Shower.

Again,

Sorry. Hm.

(MACHINE WHIRRS)

I'm telling you, that man cannot
hold his drink.

Let's see how strong it is.

Ooh, see, it's not that bad.

Yeah, except you have to multiply
the alcohol percentage

by two to determine the proof, which
means it is...

...88 per cent.

Dad, you could've killed him.

That's great.

He was almost taken away in an
ambulance.

Which part of that is great?

There is a market for strong whisky,

and we've found an easy way of
making it.

Follow the silver lining.

Even if that means stepping over a
few corpses to get there?

Morning, Chris. Hello, Chris.

I can normally handle my drink.

What was in that whisky?
My own special recipe.

Didn't you like it?

(BELL TINKLES)

I'm not staying.

I just came to return these papers.

Plus, I heard about your husband,
his passing.

I guess that explains your erratic
behaviour.

I told you not to go and see the
doc.

Well, luckily, I don't need to do
what you tell me to.

You were acting as if you were a
stalker.

Me? You're the one who's peering in
the windows

like some kind of pervert.

You have had so many husbands,
you're just after the next one.

You're insane.
No, you're making up illnesses

so you can cosy up to some happily
married man.

He thinks you're nuts as well. You
know that?

No, that's a lie.

No, we have a very special
relationship, the doctor and I.

In your dreams. Take that back.

It's the truth.
It's not the truth.

Deal with it. No.

Let go of me, you psycho!

Um...l'm off to the hearing now.

L'lljust finish this and I'll see
you up there.

Well, don't rush your essay. It's
important.

And so's the hearing. I'll make sure
I'm there for the start.

Thank you.

Good luck, Doc.

Fingers crossed, eh?

(sums) I

(PHONE RINGS)

Yes, Mrs Tishell. What is it?

I can't breathe!
Yes, you can breathe.

Come on. Don't touch me.

Calm down, for goodness' sake.
What's going on?

Have you called an ambulance? Yes.

I thought she was overreacting cos
she is an American.

What seems to be the problem?
I can't breathe.

Any chest pain? Yes.

Let's have a listen. I was trying to
contact you earlier.

Oh. (LABOU RED BREATHS)

I can hear a pleural rub.

What?

God, what's happened to your leg?

I fell over yesterday.
She fell. Fell.

The knock must have created a clot

that's formed a pulmonary embolism.

What?

The clot travels up and lodges in an
artery in your lung.

That's why I tried calling yesterday.

Your results show you don't have
haemochromatosis

but you do have polycythaemia rubra
vera.

What's that?
Susceptibility to blood clots.

Your bone marrow's creating

too many red blood cells and your
blood is thickening.

Look it up on the internet. I need to
do this.

She wasn't pushed at all, it was
just an accident.

It was very fortunate. You...

If she hadn't collapsed, it might
have gone undetected.

She could have had a heart attack or
a stroke.

See, the doctor is going to inject
you with a blood thinner.

You don't need to say that.
You shouldn't be doing that.

Remember, you're not meant to be
practising.

Be quiet. Doctor, just to be clear.

Did you say that that fall
saved her life?

Um...whatever.

You can stay here with her until the
ambulance comes,

I've got to go.
Don't leave me with her.

Why not?
Because I didn't just fall.

You really have to get to your
hearing now.

Why, what happened?
I didn't just fall.

(I saved your life.) What?

I didn't just fall. I tripped.

Right. Well, that clears that up.

(BELL TINKLES)

Would you like a cup of tea?

No.

Bill! It's Joe.

(RATTLES HAN DLE)

(PHONE RINGS)

(TYRES SCREECH)

Martin. You're late. What happened?
Are you OK?

I'm fine. There was an emergency.

Thank you, sir.

Oh, Martin! I got delayed.

A patient with a pulmonary embolism.

You're not meant to be treating
people,

and you can't be late for your own
heafing.

Stop talking at me and get rid of
your coffee cup.

(sums) I

(CLEARS THROAT)

The ability has never been at doubt.
It's...

Doctor Ellingham. Good to see you
again.

Yes, Professor.

Well, I knew you'd decided to
disappear off

to the middle of nowhere,

but I didn't think I'd be dragged
there too.

(CHUCKLES)

And I must say, I didn't expect to
see you

at one of these things.

"Passing out on top of a patient."

What has happened to you, Martin?

I didn't pass out on top of a
patient.

Is that an official question?
No. No, that was small talk.

And I forgot, you don't partake.

Right. Well, let's get this show on
the road, then, shall we?

I know you're in there.

I need you to fix the crack in my
head.

(RATTLES HAN DLE)

Bill? Are you OK?

Aye. Yeah.

I think I passed out. Can you take
me to the hospital?

I can, but I'm giving testimony at
the doc's hearing.

Ah, it's this hand, this bloody
hand.

I'm losing all feeling in it. I'm
really worried.

It's just...he's depending on me.

Joe. Please?

(sums) I

I think, um...maybe Doctor
Ellingham could start

by talking about how he feels

about Alice Taylor's complaint.

If he's maybe sorry and wants to
show that.

Ms Taylor is entitled to her opinion.

You collapsed during the procedure?

No, I collapsed after the procedure.

I fail to see the difference.

Then I'm glad you're not my doctor.

Let me rephrase my statement
for you, then.

You collapsed due to a procedure. ls
that satisfactory,

or do you wish to continue arguing
semantics?

I didn't collapse due to a procedure.

The procedure was finished. ls that
clear enough?

Martin, this isn't the first
complaint we've had about you.

You've already been under
investigation for your rude

and condescending behaviour
A matter of opinion.

It's on record.
It's still an opinion, not a fact.

Some people might say

you're being rude and condescending
now.

Would they? I couldn't comment.

Let's be honest, Martin.

Manners are one thing, but the real
issue is your haemophobia.

A doctor who cannot stand the sight
of blood.

That goes to the very heart of the
job.

This isn't the hospital.

I've just got to nip in
and help the doc,

give in my testimony.

What?

Bill, just stay in the car.

Listen to the radio or something.

The patient had already passed out.
No harm was done.

She experienced complications

because she failed to follow my
instructions.

What if the procedure hadn't been
over?

What if it had been more serious?

Are you asking me to comment on a
hypothetical situation?

I am asking you to consider a truth,
Martin.

Which is that your haemophobia
ensures

that you are not capable of
providing genuine help.

Is the doc in there? Yes.

I've written down what I've gotta
say.

They're not taking testimonies.

Joe, please can we go?

I told you to wait in the car.

Let me look at that. This is very
bad.

His hand has turned black.
I told you.

We need Martin now.

Ruth, are you sure we should
interrupt?

It could make Martin's situation
worse.

This is very serious. Go and get his
bag.

You have a grave problem that you
have not dealt with.

Excuse me. There's a medical
emergency outside.

Martin, you need to come.

We're in the middle of a hearing.

Doc. Sorry, Doc.

I told him not to come in.

Would now be a good time for my
testimony?

What happened? It was Penhale.

No. It was his idea.

What happened?
There was a ganglion,

and we hit it with a book and all
this blood came out.

There was so much blood we put a
bandage round it.

Well, it seemed all right.

It's most certainly not all right.
Look at his hand.

It's almost black. It's not a
ganglion,

it's a burst radial artery aneurysm.

Your bandaging has cut off the blood
supply.

Unless we do something, he could lose
it.

What?

The sooner we restore blood flow to
your hand,

the better chance you have of saving
it. Sit down.

My medical bag's in the car.
RUTH: Louisa's gone to get it.

Right. Penhale, I need clean towels
and water.

On it. Ruth, tell the hospital

to have a vascular surgeon standing
by.

Yes. Here!

Well done. Thank you.

Professor Langan. You'll have to
assist me.

Put those on. I'll have to tie off
the radial artery

so the ulnar artery can supply blood
to his hand.

First, I've got to cut this dressing
off.

Be ready with that pad to apply
pressure as soon as I do.

(SCISSORS SNIP) (Groans)

You'll need to enlarge the wound.

I don't need instruction, just hold
his hand steady.

RUTH: The hospital is standing by,
Martin.

BILL: Aaagh!

Ohh!

Doctor Elling ha m?
LOUISA: Martin.

Is there anything I can do?

No, thank you. I'm fine.

Adgh!

(EXHALES)

MARTIN: Right, hold that clamp in
place.

Got the stuff. Didn't know if you
wanted still or sparkling.

Stop talking. I got both.

(GROANS)

And release the clamp.

(GROANS)

(EXHALES H EAVI LY)

Has anyone called an ambulance?

I'll drive him. Even though it was
his fault.

You whacked it.

What's happening is you've lost a
lot of blood

and it's making you delirious.

It's a shame, Martin, you're wasted
down here.

RUTH: He just saved a man's life.

Something he does on a regular
basis.

I'd hardly call that wasted. And I
think it's quite clear,

whatever issues you think Martin
has,

he's obviously coping just fine.

(VOMITS)

Ahem.

We should... Should talk.

(RUNNING WATER)

(WHIRRS)

(SNIFFS)

(CHATTER)

Are you all right?

Yes.

I'm not denying you're good at your
job.

Seeing you at work just now

reminds me of what surgery has lost
with your absence.

Then why are you trying to stop me
from doing it?

I'm not comfortable with someone
practising medicine

with a pre-existing phobia that
could affect treatment.

What do I have to do to stay here?

You can continue to practise, but
only if we can monitor you.

I have to see some sort of change,
improvement,

and I have to see it soon.

Otherwise I have no choice.

I have a duty of care as well.

Thank you.

Well done.

It was actually quite a
straightforward procedure.

Really? An operation performed
without the necessary equipment

on a table in a hotel.

Do you think what's-his-name's
right?

Are you wasted down here?

No. You hesitated.

I'm glad I'm here.

Do you know, I think I can help you
with your haemophobia.

I've been reading about this
technique,

eye movement desensitisation and
reprocessing.

Yes, I'm aware of it.
It may have some value.

Based on?
How it engages the brain's

natural information processing
systems.

What do you think? It's unproven

and borderline nonsensical.
But in terms of a coping mechanism,

the outcome studies have
been impressive.

Shoddy pseudoscience.

You just threw up in a bin, in front
of a panel of your peers.

Yes, I did. But they're not my peers.

Martin.
