(HELICOPTER APPROACHES)

(MAN YELLS ANGRILY) (BANGING)

Hurry up. He's hurting himself. He won't let me near him.

He's off his rocker, if you ask me. (YELLING AND BANGING CONTINUES)

(YELLS INDISTINCTLY)

Think you're gonna stop me? Do ya?

Make your way round the other side.

News for you, fella.

Hey!

Lousy piece of rusted junk!

Hey, mate! Do you need a hand here?

(SLURRING) I want Goff.

Bloody heap blew a tyre and ran me off the road.

I'm Steve. You got a name?

Barney.

OK, Barney. We're doctors. We're here to help you.

Looks like you've hit your head pretty badly there.

Put the stick down and let us take a look at you.

(SLURRING) Bastards want me to go!

I gotta see Goff.

Who's Goff? Maybe we could help you find him.

He's me son.

And I know where to find him. What do you think I am, a bloody idiot?

Come on, Barney. Just sit down. Tell us all about it, hey?

I already told ya!

(SLURRING BADLY) Th-they... they want me to go.

I-I live there. I want... Grab him.

I want to...

Get the gurney. We'll scoop and run.

Betty White, 62.

Suspected stroke with right-side weakness.

Her BP's 155/95 and sats are holding at 94%.

This is her daughter Jenny. Hello.

I went to help her dress and she didn't know where she was.

She could hardly speak. She was all jumbly.

Any history of stroke? Two small ones. Nothing like this.

Have you spoken to Charlotte yet?

She said she couldn't change the roster.

I've got three more night shifts.

(SIGHS) Just because she doesn't have a love life

doesn't mean she has to ruin ours.

Amy?

I bet I can get Gabrielle to line up our rosters so they match.

You gotta learn how to schmooze.

She had her first stroke five years ago.

They thought that she'd never be able to walk again, but she did.

She's really strong. She's really tough. She pulled through.

ADAM: And the second stroke?

She was weaker on one side, but she's getting stronger.

OK, Betty, can you squeeze both my hands for me?

Try again as hard as you can.

Stronger on one side. (GRUNTS)

GABRIELLE: That's alright. We'll get you something for the pain soon.

Any allergies? No.

Medications? Oh, yeah. I've got a list.

I carry it with me everywhere, just in case.

I'll need full bloods, glucose and coags,

ECG and non-contrast head CT and chest X-rays.

I'll get onto Radiology.

And I'll do bloods too, Gabrielle.

OK, thanks. Von?

She was just getting out of her wheelchair, and this has to happen.

And you're looking after her. I moved in after her first stroke.

How aware was she before this morning?

Wonderful! I mean, she still loves her music, was going to concerts,

she has friends over...

She was just a little bit weak, that's all.

(MUMBLES) Shh. It's OK, Mum.

Relax. It's alright. You've just had a little setback.

You'll bounce back. Don't worry.

Wonder he's conscious at all, given these head injuries.

He's got a lot of old ones too.

Scars on his eyebrows, cheekbones, fractured nose...

Bit of a scrapper. And drinker.

Bit early in the day to be smelling of alcohol.

Bastards! You're not gettin' rid of me! I'm stayin'!

Steady on, Barney. You've had an accident.

Hit a man when he's not looking. I'll have you!

We didn't hit you. PILOT: Settle him down, will you?

Two milligrams haloperidol, IM. Yeah.

Get away from me, you mongrels!

Barney, you're in the helicopter. We're taking you to hospital.

Where's Goff? He'll tell you where to get off, you slimy toads!

You ready?

OK. Hold him steady.

Yellow-bellied sap-suckers!

Stand up and fight like a man! Yeah!

Better get onto the E.D., let them know what to expect.

(OVER RADIO) MRU 4 to All Saints.

KATERINA: (OVER RADIO) Go ahead, Dr Taylor.

Male, late 60s, involved in an MVA.

Confused, aggressive.

Several lacerations, suspected head injuries.

Internal injuries? Being assessed now.

Any fractures? None obvious. Yet to be assessed.

That's not a lot of information.

Can't you try to be a bit more specific?

He's only just been sedated.

Evidence of head injuries. He's had a bit to drink.

We can't rule out psychotic episode.

Perhaps it would be more productive

if you call back when you've done a proper assessment, Doctor.

I'll be standing by.

She can stand on her head for all I care.

She thinks she's the head of the E.D. now?

She's a bloody intern, for God's sake.

Frank's problem, not ours. Hmm.

VON: Do you have outside help?

My sister helps financially.

No, I mean respite from being a full-time carer.

No. Sandra's useless with physical things.

She says she's too busy running the shop but it's just an excuse.

Some people deal with illness better than others.

Yeah. Is your father around?

No. He divorced Mum. I don't know why.

She's perfect, as far as I was concerned.

Sounds like the two of you are very close.

Yeah. It's like I can read her mind.

And your sister?

Can't even remember the last time she visited.

But she does know her mum's in hospital?

Look, I don't want to call her, alright?

Sorry. I have to see how Mum's doing.

It's what's called a haemorrhagic stroke.

But you can operate, right?

Surgery's not an option, I'm afraid.

But she'll still wake up.

The chances of her regaining any sort of functioning are very slim.

Oh, you don't know my mum. (LAUGHS)

She's really strong. She's never let this beat her before.

Jenny, most people who suffer a stroke this severe

die within a month.

No, you have to do something for her.

At the moment she's maintaining her own airway,

but in time we'll need to assist her breathing

by putting her on a ventilator.

Whether or not we go that far... (MURMURS)

..is up to you.

I'm sorry. I'm not following.

Well, what Adam is asking is

how much medical intervention do you want us to do?

Or do you think it would be best just to let Mum go?

Oh, God. This can't be happening.

I love her so much.

Are you her legal guardian? Yeah.

I've been making all the decisions for her

but there's nothing in writing.

Well, now might be the time to bring your sister in.

Sandra doesn't know what's best for Mum.

She'll just make things more difficult.

Sandra has a right to know.

And maybe the two of you could discuss it

and decide the best thing to do for all of you.

(MURMURS) Shh.

So two milligrams of haloperidol.

Then you had a chance for a more thorough examination?

No obvious fractures, but there is a scar over his left kidney

big enough to account for a nephrectomy.

You didn't ask if he'd had a kidney removed?

Didn't get a chance. Thanks for asking.

First he was throwing punches, then we sedated him.

So no medical history? Lucky to get his first name.

(GROANS) CLAIRE: It's alright, Barney.

We'll get that pain under control soon.

We'll give him five milligrams of morphine.

I want a urinalysis, full bloods and creatinine clearance.

He'll need a CT scan and abdo X-rays.

Get away from me! It's OK! No-one's gonna hurt you.

I remember you. You king-hit me! No. I was trying to help you.

Where's Goff? He'll know what to do.

His son. Just calm down, will you?

We'll contact your son. Liars.

You're all liars!

Goin' behind me back, laughing at me...

No-one's laughing at you.

But we won't tolerate any abuse or violence.

Understood?

I know it's hard to trust someone,

but it's what people do that earns trust, not just words.

So why don't you let us do what we can to make you feel better

and then we'll contact your son.

But we need more information.

Do we have a deal?

His name's Fawcett. Godfrey Fawcett.

He left me on me own.

Why'd he do that?

He's not meant to be driving. He doesn't even have a licence.

Frank, this is Godfrey Fawcett. Dr Campion.

It's Goff. How is he?

Well, let's have a look, eh?

Let's... let's have a look.

Well...

His head CT doesn't show any sign of current injury

but there seems to be some old bruising to his skull.

Oh, that'd be from boxing.

Oh. Was your dad a professional fighter?

Yeah, until he started getting too many to the head.

He's been living with me at the caravan park.

Goffy! I was looking for you everywhere.

They told me they was gonna chuck me out of the park.

They can't, Dad. I'm the manager. You know that.

His head CT's clear.

No sign of any internal bleeding but his kidney's slightly enlarged.

When did you have your other kidney removed, Barney?

What?! I didn't know about that!

Happened before you was a gleam in your old man's eye.

Hey, who's she remind you of? Hey?

Ya mum!

God rest her cotton socks.

(CHUCKLES LEWDLY) Dad, have you been drinking?

A fella shouted me one.

He recognised me from the old days. 'Battlin' Barney Fawcett.

No matter how many times I hit the canvas, I always got up again.

Not here, Dad. Please.

Come on! Hey!

Come on! Come on!

Come on! Don't wimp out on me. Stand up and fight.

What are ya, a man or a mouse?

(LAUGHS)

I'm going to the movie set. I've got my mobile if you need me.

OK. I take it that means Declan's been given the all-clear, then?

Or you haven't spoken to him.

Haven't found the right time.

Besides, he's not even doing the stunt today.

He's showing all the symptoms of a neurological disorder, Jo.

The sooner he sees a doctor, the better.

Mike, it's a suspicion. What if you're wrong?

What if I'm right?

Alright. Fine. I'll talk to him. Just stop going on about it.

Jo, if you're getting lunch... I'm going to the movie set.

Declan's showing you around Hollywood?

Yeah.

Trouble in paradise?

Oh... it's not really any of our business.

(HARD ROCK MUSIC PLAYS) (MOTORCYCLE REVS)

(SPEAKS INAUDIBLY)

Hey! (LAUGHS) Thought you'd got lost.

No.

So how do you fit into all of this?

I'm doubling for the hero.

He's chasing aliens on his bike when a car gets in the way,

and boom - jump over it.

Hey, Jo. Hi.

Is, er... Steve here too?

No, I'm afraid not. Oh. Pity.

Hey, Dec, we're setting up for a take.

Yeah, right with you. You doing the jump today?

They moved it forward. Don't look so worried.

Are you sure you're OK?

I've done this sort of thing a dozen times.

Yeah. Last time you crashed.

What are you trying to do, jinx me?

Well, it's just that you don't even remember how it happened.

I remember what happened afterwards.

Mike's worried about you.

If it was up to doctors,

we couldn't cross the road without a safety harness.

Clear the set!

Do you have any numbness at all in your hands?

No.

Right. What about lapses in memory, loss of concentration, clumsiness...?

God, what is this? 20 Questions?

Look, Mike seems to think

that you might have something like MS or Parkinson's.

(LAUGHS) You're having me on.

I'm just passing it on, that's all.

You should get checked out.

Maybe you should cancel the jump until you know for sure.

I'm not cancelling anything on the say-so of a doctor

who's only known me for a few minutes.

Hey, Declan! Come on.

Thanks for putting that in my head when I'm about to jump.

You've been a great help.

(MOTORCYCLE REVS)

He was diagnosed 10 years ago.

All those knocks to the head brought on a sort of Parkinson's.

Mmm. So when did he give up the fight game?

Not soon enough.

He gave up for a bit but couldn't live without it

so he tried for a comeback in his late 40s.

Got knocked out cold.

How long has he been living with you?

Eight years. Since Mum died.

I take it he's steadily been getting worse.

And he knows he shouldn't drink.

But whenever I go away somewhere, he heads straight to the pub.

Who looks after him when you're away?

Oh, it's only once a year, but... well, no-one.

Have you thought of sending him into a nursing home?

I had him assessed, but he's not bad enough to go into one.

And they don't take aggressive patients anyway.

Mmm.

So when can I take him home?

We're waiting on the results of some blood tests,

and we would like to keep him under observation for a while.

I guess I can kiss the rest of my holidays goodbye.

(TENSE MUSIC)

Aaand... action!

Action, Declan.

(SHRIEKS, ULULATES)

(SIGHS)

And cut! Perfect.

We'll go one more time. OK, folks, once again.

(CROWD APPLAUDS) Well done.

Every time.

MAN: Good stuff. Good work.

Should've seen how much air you got. That was sick. Huge.

Damn it!

What's up your bum?

The creche is closed. A case of whooping cough.

How am I supposed to find a babysitter at such short notice?

I'm off duty. I could look after Zac.

Thanks but I need a professional.

I used to work in paediatrics. You're not looking after my godson.

Take the day off.

But the budget report is due this afternoon, if you remember.

Unless... you want to do that for me, Frank. That would be great.

On the other hand, Bart is not entirely useless.

We'll keep him here so we can watch him.

(GROANS) Bart!

His morning tea, his lunch and his afternoon tea.

Do not get them mixed up. I won't.

Right. Make sure he eats his banana.

He likes it chopped up with honey on it.

Right.

He only has freshly squeezed orange juice.

Ah, no milk. Lactose intolerant. OK.

Now, this is his favourite book.

Read it to him after lunch. It'll help him go down for a nap.

Oh, and if you forget anything,

everything's written on that piece of paper.

No worries.

A bit like being in the army, eh? All these orders.

Children need routine, Bart.

But if this is all a bit difficult... No. It's cool. It's cool.

OK, Mummy needs to go. Bye, Zac. I love you.

Mwah! You be good for Bart.

Alright, call me if you need me.

Will do. Ah, Charlotte? What?

Any chance I could be put back on day shifts?

I'll see what I can do. Bye! Mwah!

Now that the sergeant major's gone,

why don't you and I have a bit of fun, eh?

Raa! (LAUGHS)

(GROANS) It's alright, Mum. I'm here.

Sandra's on her way in.

Poor little thing. She's fought so hard.

How's her breathing? It's more laboured.

If you put her on a ventilator, what happens next?

It'll be a question of how long you want to keep her on it.

But eventually you'll have to decide when to switch the machine off,

which can be more traumatic for families.

She's not in any pain, is she?

No. No, she's not at the moment.

And we will deal with that, if that arises.

I couldn't bear her to be in any pain.

She doesn't deserve that. She doesn't deserve any of this.

She's not in any discomfort, Jenny.

(SNIFFS)

She was always so independent.

She never wanted to be a burden on anyone.

Can I have a moment alone with her, please?

Of course.

What do you think we can expect when the other sister comes in?

Um, this is for you. Cheers.

Well, she sounded very upset.

It wasn't what I expected after the way Jenny had described her.

Yeah. There definitely seems to be some sisterly friction there.

Oh, this is interesting.

Their mother signed a 'not for resuscitation' order

at another hospital after her first stroke.

That should make it slightly easier for them.

It's a wonder it hasn't been mentioned.

Have either of you read this article about Katerina?

No. What's it say?

It's about her time during the war in Kosovo

and her post-traumatic stress disorder.

Said she doesn't realise she had it until...

(SIGHS) ..an incident at All Saints Hospital

triggered an episode.

The incident being my stabbing?

Well, it might explain why she ran instead of helping you.

More than likely.

Frank must have known about this. Nice of him to tell us.

There's certainly nothing wrong with your heart.

(CHUCKLES) I could've told you that, love.

I could go 12 rounds in a ring,

no matter how many times they knocked me down.

Everything alright? Of course.

Are you going to check up on me with every patient I treat?

See you for a second?

Look, I'm sorry we got off on the wrong foot,

but if Frank had let us know what you were going through,

I'm sure we all would have understood.

I take it you read the paper?

It was a very compassionate article.

I only gave the interview to help other sufferers.

It wasn't to make anyone feel sorry for me.

Barney's blood results. His pH is 7.25.

Uh-oh. I can tell you're gonna use a lot of big words.

Now, will you keep it simple so Goff here can understand?

Oh, shut up, Dad. What is it, Dr Campion?

It looks like you're going into renal failure.

(SNORTS) I've heard that before.

Last time they put me on dialysis and whipped out me kidney.

Yes, but this time you don't have another kidney to fall back on.

Shit!

Take some more bloods and be ready for a bicarb infusion.

Worst-case scenario,

we'll have to put your name down for a donor kidney.

And if the dialysis don't work,

I could be pushin' up daisies, waitin', right?

It's a possibility, yes.

How about me? Dad could have one of mine.

Jeez, Goff, I don't want you doing that!

It's not up to you, Dad. Do you have to test me or something?

Yes, for tissue compatibility.

Alright, what are we waiting for?

I thought you was a wimp.

Oh, God, Mum.

Why didn't you call me sooner?

I didn't think you could get away from the shop.

Well, I'm here now, aren't I?

There's nothing you could've done. Nothing either of us could've done.

I've explained everything to Sandra.

Is there anything else you two need to know

before you make your decision?

Yes, so... so, if you don't treat her,

she'll just... stop breathing?

Yeah.

And we'll send her up to intensive care

where she'll be more comfortable.

Who says that we're stopping treatment?

What... what are you talking about?

All you'll be doing is postponing the inevitable.

She'll never recover. We don't know that.

Yeah, well, they do.

You're not going to kill my mother. She's my mother too.

It's murder! And for once you're not going to get your own way!

I know she never wanted to end up a vegetable.

She has recovered before. She will do it again.

You heard what the doctor said.

They can be wrong! I'm just trying to give our mother a chance.

You want to punish her.

I'm the only one who's been taking care of her!

Because you said you didn't want me there.

You just don't want the financial inconvenience anymore, is that it?

You never took care of her!

OK, ladies. Because you didn't want me to!

Because you hate her. You hate her!

You hate her and you know it! You come with me.

You come with me.

She was always the spoilt one.

I knew Mum loved her best because she had the looks.

I was brighter at school

but she was the one who took over the boutique as soon as Mum got sick.

I have always had to work harder than Jenny.

She was Mum's favourite, probably because she was the eldest.

I'm sure Sandra only wants what's best for your mother.

Are you saying I don't? Not at all.

But do you really think your sister is so thoughtless?

She has always been a martyr.

Trying to get Mum's approval all the time.

That's why she wants to keep her alive.

It's not out of love, it's out of hate for me.

She's just doing this to get to me.

She's just jealous because Mum needs me.

Whenever I suggest anything, she always overrides me.

She is doing this out of spite. OK, enough.

You two need to talk to each other.

This isn't about you and your sister's relationship.

This is about what's best for your mother.

So I suggest you start thinking about her.

I've always hated fighting.

Dad would try to box with me when I was little

and I'd always end up running away.

(CHUCKLES)

I always knew I let him down.

But he relies on you now.

Mmm, yeah.

Most boys would be proud to have a boxer for a father.

I guess I was the odd one out. Oh, I don't know.

I don't think all sons follow in their father's footsteps.

Mine wanted me to work in the railways. Huh!

One good thing, I guess - I was never picked on at school.

How did your mother feel about boxing?

Oh, she loved it. That's how they met.

Small country town. The girls would flock to the boxing tent.

They were just kids when they got married.

You must've been on the road a bit.

Yeah, even when I came along

we were never in one place long enough to make friends.

Mmm. Tough life. My mum didn't seem to mind.

Goff! Goffy! I'm in here, Dad.

What the bloody hell are you doing to me son?

Dad, it's alright.

Take it easy, Barney. I'm just taking a blood sample.

No-one hurts my kid and gets away with it.

Remember where you are, Barney? Hospital.

Godfrey's seeing if he can help make you better.

Ruby!

That's my mum.

It's Katerina. Oh, yeah.

I respect you, Katerina. I respect all women.

(CHUCKLES) Ruby taught me that.

(SINGS CIRCUS SONG)

(LAUGHS) Hey! Bravo!

Where'd you learn that?

At med school.

Yeah, I was a court jester in a review once.

Very impressive. Thanks.

It's a bit sexy, all that circus stuff.

Ooh! Ah, not in front of Zac. Oh, he's too young to care.

No, he's not. No, I'm not!

I remember being freaked out when I was his age and I saw people kissing.

You are a bit special.

Hey, Zachary, I've got an idea.

Can you do me a favour? Ah, sure.

Hmm.

At least they're talking.

Maybe one of us should've stayed behind to referee.

Oh, hopefully they'll work it out.

What do you think the truth is?

The sisters and their relationship with their mother growing up.

How come they remember things so differently?

Kids can have the same upbringing

but end up with a different slant on things.

Childhood memories lie.

Oh, we remember what we want to remember.

None of the genetic markers match.

Not one.

So Godfrey probably isn't his son.

Could we have a moment with Barney?

Is everything alright? Just need to clarify a few things.

I won't be far, Dad. Take your time.

I'd rather be looking at Katerina than your ugly mug any day.

Um, Barney, I'm afraid that Godfrey's

not gonna be able to donate one of his kidneys to you

because he's not a match.

Well, them's the breaks, eh?

Never was anything of me in him anyhow.

Oh, so you and Ruby adopted him?

What sort of question's that? No.

I was in hospital when he was born.

(LAUGHS) A funny-looking little bugger.

Um, right.

Well, then there's something that's come up in the compatibility test

that I need to ask you about.

Righto.

Um, see there's every possibility

that Godfrey's not your biological son.

Well, don't tell Goffy. He loved his mother.

He might want to know why he's not compatible, Barney.

Spin him a line.

I'm afraid we can't lie about something like this.

Not if he asks. I'm sorry.

I don't want him blaming his mother.

So you suspected that he wasn't your son?

Didn't matter.

I treated him like me own.

I guess just deep down I kind of had an inkling.

But you never asked your wife?

And accuse her of something that wasn't her fault?

How do you mean?

She always wanted a kid.

We was told we couldn't have one.

Something wrong with me wrigglies.

So when she got pregnant, she said it was a miracle.

I thought it best to believe her.

Upside down! Upside down! (LAUGHS)

You're full of surprises.

(DOOR OPENS) I'll treat you with my feet.

Bart!

Ah, it was just a game.

What have they done to you, little man?

We were playing doctors.

I told you not to get him overexcited.

He was having fun, Charlotte.

Has he eaten? Ah, no. Not yet.

Has he had a nap? No.

You know what? I'll just get a professional babysitter.

(PAGER BEEPS)

Oh! (SIGHS)

I'm needed in Resus.

You know what? This time, just do what I tell you to do.

Yes, ma'am.

Bye, honey. I'll see you soon, OK?

Bye. ZAC: Bye.

(EXHALES)

I'd never have picked Charlotte

for being such a worrywart as a mother.

My mum was like that too. Only child syndrome.

Well, I think you're great with kids.

Well, I don't want to have just one, either.

I want to have lots. Fill the house up.

(LAUGHS)

OK.

I'm sorry I'm not compatible, Dad.

I... I really wanted to help.

Not your fault.

So what happens next?

He'll be on dialysis until we can find a suitable donor.

I'll give notice. I'll move closer so I can come in every day.

Don't be bloody stupid.

I promised Mum I'd look after you and I will.

Maybe I can get a cleaning job somewhere.

There's got to be other places I can manage.

You love looking after that park.

That doesn't matter, Dad. You're more important than a job.

You stick to what you know. You don't owe me nothing.

We'll get a flat close to the hospital. Make it easier to get to.

I said no! You're my responsibility.

Not anymore. Dad, it's not your decision.

Well, it's not yours either. You're not even me bloody son!

Bugger off and let me be.

What are you... what are you talking about?

What's he talking about?

Tell him. You might as well.

Don't want him wasting his life when he doesn't have to.

What's going on?

The tests indicate that you're not his... biological son.

Your mother wanted a kid that bad.

You knew?!

You never even told me!

(LAUGHS) It makes sense when you think about it.

Who's my father?

I couldn't tell you. Now, don't you think badly of your mum.

She was a decent woman and she loved the both of us.

(SOBS)

(SIGHS) Oh, poor kid.

He's better off without me.

I'm sorry you had to find out this way.

If he wasn't sick, I'd spend my whole life not knowing.

Your father accepted you as his son ever since you were born.

I spent all this time wondering why I wasn't more like him,

why I didn't like what he liked.

Hell, I don't even look like him.

Not all children take after their parents.

I mean, that's what makes us individuals.

You know what these last eight years have been like?

I can imagine.

It's been difficult? Difficult?

I met a girl a few years back and I thought we'd make a go of it.

Then Dad came to live with us.

She couldn't stand him? No-one can.

I leave him alone a few minutes and he gets into trouble.

He starts fighting anyone who looks twice at him.

My job's on the line because of him.

Then, why did you offer to donate him a kidney?

Because he's my... (SIGHS)

I thought he was my father.

So it's out of a sense of duty?

I don't know. Has he always called you a wimp?

No. That only started since his brain damage.

And before that?

What was he like as a father?

I guess he was protective.

Did he try to force you into watching him fight?

No, he...

Did he provide for you and your mother?

Yeah.

When he was brought in, you were the only person he kept asking for.

He kept saying you'd know what to do.

I'd say he needs you very much.

(GASPS)

It'd be so easy to walk away. I know.

But what the two of you have is stronger than blood and tissue.

(GASPS)

It's stronger than duty.

Hey, we're running out of time.

If the sisters don't come back soon, what do we do?

Keep her comfortable. Let her go quietly.

No. We can't do that. It doesn't matter that Betty signed an NFR.

It was at another hospital at another time.

So we've just gotta hope the sisters can come to some sort of agreement.

And respect their mother's wishes.

And if they can't, it needs to go before the Guardianship Board.

Hope they make up their mind soon.

Her breathing's getting more laboured.

Oxygen sats are down to 88%.

I'd better make sure they haven't killed one another.

SANDRA: Jenny, can you just...

We can't leave her in there like she is.

She doesn't wanna be a vegie.

According to you, Sandra. Jenny!

What do you mean, according to me?

What you don't seem to understand

is what's not being said here, and I wish...

What do you mean "not being said"? Come on!

Hey.

(LAUGHS) Bart!

Hmm? Hey!

What? You fell asleep.

Oh, no, I didn't. You did.

I was just resting my eyes.

You all set, little man?

Did you have any trouble getting him down to sleep?

No. Didn't have any trouble at all.

Thank you. You saved my life.

Who's that? Do you wanna say, "Thank you, Bart"?

Thank you, Bart. Anytime, Zac.

Oh, by the way,

I changed the rosters and you're on days as of tomorrow.

Thank you, Charlotte.

OK, sweetie. We need to pack up.

It's time to go home.

Who's the schmoozer now?

She can't. Why not?

I just got Gabrielle to change my roster to night shifts.

Oh, you're kidding!

We're never gonna get together. Outside forces are against us.

What are you doing now?

I've got a couple of hours before my next shift.

I might was well just stay here.

(YAWNS)

And you wanna have a whole household full of kids?

One's worn you out.

That's only because I just came off a night shift.

So when are you planning on having these kids?

About five years.

Are you serious? You've got it planned for five years time.

Yeah. Haven't you ever thought about having children?

Well, yes... and no.

The idea terrifies me. What's to be scared of?

Not all women are maternal.

You mean you're not?

Well, I've got nieces and nephews.

They're enough, believe me. (LAUGHS)

Anyway, I've got way too many things to do

before I even THINK about children.

OK.

Well, no. They're not in the ambo bay.

Maybe they've killed each other.

(SCOFFS)

But the longer they talk,

the more likely it is they will reach a decision.

Hopefully the right one

because her sats are lower, and if they continue dropping,

we're gonna have to intubate regardless of their decision.

Hello. Here they are.

How is she?

We're just about out of time. What have you decided?

I want you to let my mother go naturally.

And I still want you to do everything you can for her.

In that case, we have no choice but to intubate

and send her to ICU.

No. Please, don't.

Sux and thio.

Given that you still can't agree on your mother's treatment,

any further complication in her condition -

for example, pneumonia -

we will refer this to the Guardianship Board.

(MOANS)

How long do you think she'll last on life support?

It's impossible to say.

We'll insert a nasogastric tube to feed her,

and should we require a longer-term solution...

..we'll insert a tube through the abdominal wall

directly into her stomach.

Hey! What are you doing here?

You left before my second jump. You here to see Mike?

Yeah. I should tell him to stop frightening the bejesus out of me.

I came to see you.

To tell you the next few jumps were even better than the one you saw.

(LAUGHS)

So, when do you get off work?

Whoa! (LAUGHS) What was that for?

Because I was such a nag today.

Well, you should be a nag more often.

Anyhow, I proved my point.

Enough said, OK?

Let's say I give you a hand, get you off work early, huh?

You're on.

Take this to the locker room. The director's gonna use me...

Hey!

Oh, I tripped. Alright?

No, you didn't.

Is this the way it's gonna be every time I drop something or trip?

You're just gonna be yelling out MS or some other stupid disease.

No. But you need to see a doctor.

Oh, not this again. I'm serious, Declan.

If you don't get checked out, then...

Then what?

I don't wanna think anything's wrong any more than you do

but I can't keep seeing you

unless you take responsibility for your health.

Come on, Jo. You've got a choice.

No. That's an ultimatum.

And I don't do ultimatums so...

..may as well piss off.

Declan.

Hey.

This is something I love to do, alright?

I know.

If someone told you you couldn't jump out of a chopper

or climb down cliffs anymore,

how would you feel?

Would you want that taken away from you?

Or would you wanna keep doing what you love as long as you could?

You could kill someone.

Oh, please.

I've had a gutful of this crap.

Have a good life.

Thought you'd have pissed off by now.

That what you want me to do?

I wouldn't think any less of you if you had.

Well, you're gonna need someone to keep an eye on you during dialysis.

I cried when you was born.

Not a day went by I was ungrateful she give me a son.

I'm just sorry I wasn't the father you wanted.

I thought I wasn't the son you wanted.

But I like you the way you are.

(SOBS)

If anyone says any different, I'll knock their block off.

(LAUGHS AND SOBS) KATERINA: It's alright, Barney.

No-one's arguing.

Ready to go?

I am now.

Bye, Mum.

I won't be coming in again.

I know this isn't what you want, and I'm sorry.

But there is nothing I can do about it.

I love you.

(SNIFFS)

I never want to see you again.

The feeling's... mutual.

Can you let me know if...

..or when something happens.

Of course. Thank you.

(CELLO PLAYS)

I'm heading home.

I just thought I'd say goodnight. Er, goodnight.

Bach's first cello suite?

Yes. You like it?

Very much.

Would you like a drink?

Why not?

You know, you handled a tricky situation today very well.

Thank you.

In fact, as well as your orthopaedic skills,

you're showing yourself to be quite a handy physician.

Your confidence in me is the only reason I'm still here, Frank.

(LAUGHS) So true.

(CHUCKLES) Cheers.

(SPEAKS FOREIGN LANGUAGE)

Yes.

Adam, have you got a minute?

Yeah. Sure. What are you still doing here?

Um... I wanna be tested for Huntington's disease.

My mum died of it,

and up until now I haven't wanted to know if I've got the gene.

There's a 50% chance, Jo.

Yeah. I know. That's why I've put it off.

What about your brothers and sisters?

They're all younger than me.

They can make up their own minds,

but so far none of them have been tested either.

I think they're taking their cue from me.

Have you had any symptoms?

No.

You haven't been to Michael or Steve, I take it.

No. It's a bit close for comfort.

You know what's ahead of you if you do have the gene?

Yeah. Er, early stages, I can remain fully functional.

Early-intermediate stage,

I can remain employable but at a lower capacity,

right up to advanced stage - dementia, incontinence, you name it.

How am I doing?

What made you wanna have the test now?

Figure it's time I followed my own advice, that's all.

OK.

Organise the test.
