Original subtitles

Previously on All Saints...

Can you tell me your name?

Um...

What's your name?

Um...I know it.

Callum has a fairly large mass on the left side of his brain.

So there's a chance Callum can die with this?

I can't answer that question until we have more information.

Grade four, malignant, Anaplastic astrocytoma.

You won't consider resection via neural navigation?

What's the point?

His prognosis is terminal anyway.

ADDY: Great dinner, Terri. Thanks.

JACK: Excuse me, I made the salad.

It was all good.

When are you two going to tell everyone at work your big secret?

Never. Soon.

(both laugh)

Well, I don't really care but Terri thinks people will be shocked.

No. No!

I don't think it's necessary.

I don't think you need to go blaring your private life everywhere.

Oh, I didn't realise nobody else knows.

No.

So, how come we've been entrusted?

I'm special. Charlotte guessed.

(all giggle)

Well, Von knows but she's discreet.

So the question is, is Charlotte?

Oh! Well, I have a little secret too.

So maybe if I tell you then we'll be even.

Char?

Uh-oh. No. Tell. Secret.

Okay.

I have thought about this for a very long time..

..and...

..I am going to have a baby.

Are you pregnant? No.

No, but we're planning.

Ah... (clears throat) ..hate to break this to you

but there's a little something missing.

(all giggle) We've thought of that, Jack, thanks.

You've got someone in mind?

Jack!

I think it's interesting. I'm just asking.

Sure, the perfect guy.

Good looks, intelligent, great sense of humour.

If you have a little trouble finding Mr Perfect,

I'm always available.

I might take you up on that if all else fails.

Give me a date and a time and I'll be there.

"A date and a time"!

(laughs)

An hour? (all laugh)

Would it take an hour?

Five minutes.

THEME MUSIC

MAN: Oh, darl.

They're going to discharge him tomorrow

if you can't find a surgeon who's willing.

(sighs) Well, there just...

..there aren't enough who've actually performed

a neural navigation this complex.

There's got to be someone.

Madsen's across it. He just hasn't performed it yet.

Oscar Wu's already doing it but there's the cost.

Maybe Wu can find a spare spot on his public list.

(man sobs)

Look, I'll see what I can do, okay?

Vincent.

There's something else.

LIFT BELL TINGS

You can't just disappear again.

Yeah, but I can't find a locum for Dad.

Things are getting out of hand up there.

Frank is already after your blood.

If you don't do a full week here,

there's every chance he'll cancel your rotation.

Please, could you cover for me?

Look, I can cover for you for a few hours tomorrow

but you better spend that time finding a locum, alright?

Because that's all I can do.

'Night.

Sorry we're late.

She wouldn't get in the car.

Hello, Kathleen.

No 'hello' today?

Kathleen, you're going to go with Dr Carsdale.

Everything you need is in your backpack.

Here's your backpack... (screams)

Kathleen. (firmer) Kathleen, Kathleen.

(screams louder)

Kathleen, you like going with Dr Carsdale.

I just want you to go.

(screams intensely) Just go.

(screeches)

Kathleen, look here.

Look here, Kathleen.

Look here. Kathleen?

(whimpers)

Look here. (moans)

Kathleen? Look here.

Kathleen, look here.

Look here, Kathleen.

That's it.

Kathleen, I'd like you to pick up your backpack.

She's never done this before here.

We're going to go to my office now.

We're going to do some really interesting activities today.

She's seems okay now.

I don't know what I'm gonna do.

I can't keep increasing her medication.

I'm running out of options.

SIREN WAILS

Yasmin!

Is she alright?

Mrs Hayek, park your car and then come in to the desk.

She'll be okay.

Mum, what's happening? Yasmin!

Mrs Hayek, please, let us do our job.

I come with him now. Please.

Mrs Hayek, please.

Yasmin Hayek. She had a pre syncopal episode at school.

I'm alright.

No lOC, she was diaphoretic... I need to go home.

Where's my mother. It's Von, remember?

Complaining of left side abdo pain.

Cannulated, Hartmann's running.

Ah!

Tenderness and guarding on the left quadrant.

She was complaining on the way in. I don't need to be here.

You are here and a doctor will look at you.

You relax. Leave that on.

Where's my mother?

She'll be here soon.

Mother was a real pain at the scene.

The doctor will be here soon and we'll organise some pain relief.

It hurts.

Where exactly?

Okay. Do you have any idea how you got this pain?

Did you have a fall or...

A fall, yes, down the stairs.

Let's get you into... No! I don't want to.

We have to examine you.

I want to change in private.

Okay. We can organise that.

Take it easy. I'll be back soon.

She's been in before.

Charlotte performed a deinfibulation.

Her vaginal opening had been almost completely sewn up.

There was, well, some problem about consent.

She's much younger than she looks.

Did Charlotte fudge her age?

I did not say that.

What have we got?

The wrong doctor.

Female doctors only.

Dr Beaumont. Pain relief, please, in four.

Okay. I want to see how he responds to this. Half hourly obs, okay?

Do you mind if I get back to my paperwork?

No, no. Go, go, go. Run.

Hughes, where is Grace Connelly?

I sent her to the Cardiac Lab to have a look at an angiogram.

Dr Campion,

there's a Gwynneth Carsdale waiting for you in your office.

Right. Right. Send her to me as soon as she gets back.

Sure.

Reverend, you're on bed rest. Back to your cubicle.

I have to go to school. Straightaway.

We're still waiting on your tests. Lolly?

I believe this patient is experiencing

transient ischemic attacks,

secondary to stenosis at the origin of the carotid artery.

And how would you rule this out?

I'd define risk factors - carotid doppler, angiography,

proceeding to a carotid endarterectomy, if positive,

and so on.

Dr Quade, we've got a walk-in in two. Bad lac to the arm.

Ah, needlework.

I think, while you stitch,

I should continue to investigate the and-so-ons.

Thank you for you insights.

Mr Madsen?

Don't you hate it when residents are right? I do.

Yeah, he's got a lot of confidence. Too much.

I was wondering if you've had the chance

to look at Callum Chifley's CTs yet.

The young kid, country boy.

The Anaplastic Astrocytoma? Oh, yeah.

I'm happy to chat, of course. But not right now.

Catch me at a better time.

(dryly) Thank you. Great. Too kind.

You do know Mr Madsen is not easy to impress?

I think he knows I'm right, just won't admit it.

Well, we can't all be as perceptive as you.

Terri, is something up?

Because you boot me out last night and it's a little chilly here.

Well...

..you know, I just...

..I don't think what you said to Charlotte last night was...

..really appropriate, Jack.

But talking about it here isn't appropriate either.

Don't you support her decision?

I'm not talking about Charlotte, Jack, I'm talking about you.

It's not right. You separate people from their children.

Mrs Hayek is insisting on visiting her daughter.

Well, that's fine, as long as you remain calm and quiet.

I do that!

First, I want to see my daughter. Find out what is wrong.

That's what we're going to do. Thank you.

Um, is this going to get awkward?

Mrs Hayek obviously doesn't know about her daughter's reversal.

Von told me about it. So do you think we should let Frank know?

I think, we should speak to her first.

There's no point opening a can of worms

if this admission is completely unrelated.

Full bloods?

And X-ray and CT.

When did you first feel the pain? Last night.

Did it come on suddenly or after an accident? What?

She said nothing.

Uh! Mum! Make them stop.

Okay, we just need to see what the problem is.

Let the doctor look, Yasmin.

Okay?

Yes, a very nasty fall.

Yasmin. How does this happen?

We'll let Dr Beaumont... No! I won't leave her.

We won't be far away.

It's alright.

Okay, I'm sorry.

I don't understand. She only go from school to home.

Sometimes she stay to study.

What about school? Has she ever been bullied?

She is teased many time.

What about?

Hijab. People - they think Muslim terrorist.

Has there been any other incident other than teasing?

Something more violent?

I don't think so.

Would it help if we spoke to your husband?

For what?

Has he ever been angry with her?

She a good girl. She give no trouble. There is no need for anger.

You're telling me things I already know, Gwynneth.

I'm need treatment options for my daughter,

not clinical observations.

I've told you the options.

The problem is you don't want to accept them,

and I understand that.

Institutionalisation's an ugly word.

Most long ones are.

Sunnydale, for Christ's sake.

We need you, Frank.

Thank God for that. Excuse me.

You've got to make a decision. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Can I get back to my desk? Of course!

Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry. We'll talk later.

You're needed too, okay?

(crossly) Well done.

I'd say she's been beaten.

She's, of course, not admitting anything.

We will probably have to ring the police

and they will be asking us some difficult questions.

Are you alright?

(sarcastically) I'm a box of fluffy ducks.

Jess, can you give me a hand?

Frank!

She's hypotensive and tachycardic.

Ready?

FRANK: Jess.

I've got it. You go.

He's suffering from epilepsy and dementia.

You might want to check his airway, he was eating a lolly.

One, two, three.

Terri, I just had a call... Oh, my goodness.

Ow, Ow, Ow, OW! OW!

Can you page Dr Hughes, please, Reg? Yes.

Ow.

(knocks on door)

This is your interpretation of a better time, is it, Doctor?

No, I just thought that since you were here doing the rounds,

you would probably realise

that Callum Chifley is due for discharge this afternoon

and you might want to make a decision.

Dr Hughes here has a very advanced astrocytoma to deal with.

One which is not suitable for surgical intervention.

We wouldn't be doing the lad any favours.

What about Frameless Stereotactic Guidance?

I know the procedure.

But you haven't performed it...yet.

No.

But you observed Oscar Wu last time he was here.

Dr Hughes imagines that by appealing to the healthy sense of competition

that exists between Oscar Wu and myself,

he can change the facts of the case.

He can't.

A - the tumour is too advanced.

B - the technology is not readily available.

And C - even if it were,

I don't have to go looking for another notch in my scalpel

like Oscar Wu does.

If you'll excuse me,

I have an operable patient to discuss with my students.

Get rid of his bloody lollies.

Oh! This day just gets better and better, doesn't it?

Hey! You want a bandaid?

No, thanks. I'll take care of this.

Get Regina to pull out an Incident Report Form.

Yep.

It's a wonder his teeth didn't come out too. Come on.

The good Reverend will probably demand tests

after having your little pinky in his gob.

Although Roman Catholicism isn't infectious, is it?

It can be.

Hmm. Poor bugger.

Well, lucky for you,

he was tested for HIV before his heart surgery and came up clean.

So, you may be okay.

That's a relief.

Although he is a man of the cloth

God only knows what he's been shagging in the meantime.

Am I supposed to be shocked by your cynicism, Frank?

Hardly. I just need to finetune it from time to time.

Oh, okay. I'll do that. Ta.

Don't want any chinks in the armour, do we?

Plenty of those.

Are you referring to your daughter?

Yes, that was Kathleen's doctor you met a little bit earlier.

I raised your suggestion about alternative therapies with her.

Oh.

Hmm.

So she didn't have any new options for you?

No, nothing liveable.

Fill out that bloody form as soon as you can

otherwise you'll be farting around with it all afternoon.

Look, Frank... You know?

They should make these thicker.

Thank you.

The girl has bruising which suggests she was assaulted.

What's the problem. Call DOCS.

She presented a few weeks back with an infection that I, um...

..deinfibulated her and now I'm concerned her father's found out

and done this.

Found out? Surely the parents already knew.

Bloody marvellous. You didn't get their consent.

She told me she was 18.

By the time I found out she wasn't, I was already committed.

We've done an illegal procedure on an underage girl

which may have caused her beating.

Hang on!

The procedure performed on her in the first place

is illegal in this country.

Okay, should we find out more facts

before the situation gets totally out of hand.

Wise words. I'll leave it in your capable hands, Von.

Report to me later.

Sorry.

Ha. What for?

(sighs)

Can I assume this frosty silence

is payback for my comments about your baby plans?

I don't want to talk about it.

Going to be hard not to, Charlotte,

especially when you're 8.5 months pregnant.

People will notice.

When a woman announces

she wants to do the most natural thing in the world

it's usually considered good news.

But I'm starting to realise

I may not get that reaction from a lot of people,

but is it asking too much

to expect my oldest friend to show a bit of support?

LIFT BELL TINGS

I'm sorry, Charlotte, I'm just not entirely convinced

that a child should be brought into this world without a father.

Any progress on Yasmin?

She's not going to talk while her mother's there,

as I've just been explaining to Regina.

And I don't know how to create a diversion.

Think of one. Lie.

Any word on Yasmin's X-ray CT?

Still waiting on results.

Well, what takes so long? We want to go home.

I didn't mean to be bad, Mama.

I didn't mean it. I'm sorry...

What are you saying, Yasmin?

Excuse me, Mrs Hayek, you need to come and sign some papers.

Papers. Why?

We need contact and admission details.

What details?

Medicare, medical history, that sort of thing.

You need to fill out the paperwork to get a medical record number.

Okay.

I'll chase up the scans.

Yasmin, I know this is difficult but bruises tell their own story.

You didn't really fall down some stairs, did you?

I told you...

Last time you were here, you said your father was very strict.

My father didn't do this.

You have a right to protection. There are social services, refuges.

This has nothing to do with my family.

Then, who did it?

I told you, I fell down the stairs.

Let's leave it at that.

(sighs)

He hasn't kept much down since yesterday.

I'm afraid he might be dehydrated.

SCOTT: Incoming trauma.

John Popperwell. Driver in a high-speed MVA. Car versus tree.

GCS initially at 15 then a decrease to nine as we unloaded.

He's got a suspected fractured left femur. BP 100/50...

Activate the trauma team page. Okay.

Resus is clear.

He was talking me en route, now unresponsive.

Sorry we couldn't ring it through the bat-phone.

Name? John Popperwell.

John? John! Can you hear me? John?

GCS?

Initially 15 and it's just decreased to nine.

Count of three - one, two, three.

Get another line in. Take bloods for crossmatch.

Pupils are unequal. We'll have to tube him. Size eight, thanks.

Where the bloody hell is Grace Connelly?

How long does it take to observe an angiogram?

It's okay, I've got it. Get the break.

Coming through, Reg. I've got his file.

It can travel with him. Special delivery, Dr Wu.

Oscar Wu's here today?

Yeah, he's performing an operation upstairs.

You beauty.

Hughes, we got a train versus cyclist coming in.

Put out a trauma call,

then as soon as you've reassembled your patient I want you in my office.

Na, na, na... Charlotte!

BP's dropping, 80/50. Ah, ah, ah.

Just stay up.

Okay, breathe in.

It's dull. Get Vincent.

What's wrong? What's happening?

Yasmin has an injury to the spleen.

She's been stable so far but the haematoma may have ruptured.

She may need to go straight to theatre.

No! She can't be that bad.

What for she needs another doctor.

I told you before, she can only have women doctors.

He's here.

No. Please, no. No.

She's deteriorated, hypotensive and tachycardic. I need your surgical...

The doctors need to look at her.

No, please. Help us.

Yasmin, my baby.

I'm being punished, Mama. For my sins.

What? No!

I came here before.

I had it undone.

What are you saying, Yasmin? I'm sorry.

What you have undone?

Let her go.

What is she saying? What would my daughter have undone?

You know something.

What did she do here? Please, tell me.

Tell me what my daughter has undone.

You'll have to ask Dr Beaumont.

No. I want you to tell me now. Please.

I am her mother. I am sick with worry. Something happened here.

Please, you must tell me!

She had a deinfibulation.

What is that?

She had her vagina surgically re-opened.

(gasps) Re-opened!

She had a very bad infection and she couldn't tell you.

Oh.

Nelson!

Bloody hell.

MRS HAYEK: No, no, no, no.

You are bleeding. It must be treated. Come on.

It's hard for me to be so, um, exposed.

I do understand.

No, you do not understand. You have no idea our culture.

If you do, you never do this to my daughter.

You must have make her do it.

The reversal was your daughter's choice. She requested it.

She is a child! She cannot make this decision.

Her parents must approve.

(clears throat) Von.

(crossly) Just a minute. No...he...no.

Thank you.

Come in.

Mrs Hayek, your daughter's had an emergency splenectomy.

She's come through it well.

They'll transfer her to a ward soon and you can see her then.

I want see her now.

She's not ready yet and we have to make sure you're okay first.

I've organised a female doctor to review you.

There is nothing wrong with me!

Why you not try and fix my daughter

and mend the damage you make at this hospital?

BABY GIGGLES

Need a hand in here?

He's wet.

8mls an hour is fine for the drip.

I'll hurry up the transfer to Paeds.

I'll write up the admission papers.

He's a cutie, isn't he?

You're going to make a good mum, Charlotte.

Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

Listen, Jack, I got a little carried away last night.

Let's not mention it again.

Yeah. If that's the way you want it.

Uh, it is. Especially in here.

Charlotte.

You know that I wasn't serious about offering my services?

(laughs) I didn't think you were. Yep.

Don't be embarrassed

because I don't have an issue with that sort of stuff.

What? Oh, nothing. Uh, bad timing.

Surely, Terri doesn't think that...

No. I don't know. She's pissed off about something.

How's Mrs Hayek?

Difficult. Yeah, I bet.

Good luck.

Sister Sullivan, I've a bone to pick with you.

Oh. Would you like to sit down.

VINCENT: No, thanks. I'll stand.

If this is about Grace...

That's exactly what it's about. Does she work here or not?

The truth is, her father is very ill.

He's a GP in a very isolated area, and she's trying to find someone...

I don't see why a first-year intern

should be able to waltz off to sort out her family

while we work 80 hours a week to cover her arse.

Frank, be reasonable.

I was being reasonable. I simply suggested...

Massage and acupuncture.

That's not the answer for a kid like Kathleen.

The focus is on behaviour modification techniques,

anger management...

Okay, I think we should stay open to alternate methods.

And what is your expertise in autism?

Well, I've read a lot on the subject.

And I read the papers every day.

It doesn't mean I'm an expert on world affairs.

You have no idea the damage you could have caused by undermining me.

Frank's already clutching at straws. He's desperate.

Now, I don't tell you how to do your job, Sister.

I'd appreciate if you showed me the same respect.

VINCENT: It goes both ways.

Teamwork is also about respecting your staff's needs.

Either she refocuses on her job or she's out.

A whole community is depending on her finding a replacement GP.

And a whole emergency department

will depend on me to find a replacement intern

if this doesn't stop.

Got it?

I'll talk to her. (angrily) Do that!

Well, about time.

Problem?

Crankie-Frankie wants to talk to you.

Oh, great!

Just let him try me. I know what his problem is.

Don't risk your career, Grace. It's not worth it.

How did you go with the locum? Uh-uh.

You? Any luck with Dr Wu?

We've got a trauma. He's here, but he's in theatre.

I'm going to try and tackle him soon.

Unidentified male. Multiple stab wounds to the torso.

Estimated blood loss is about 500ml.

It was an anonymous call. I found the patient lying in the prone position.

Did this happen at school? No.

We need four units of packed cells. Set up a chest tube.

On the count of three - one, two, three.

Notify theatre. Will do.

Jack, can you chase up the blood, please?

Grace, can you put in a large bore cannula?

GRADUALLY SLOWING BEEPS

His BP's dropping.

Do a manual. On it. Push these fluids through.

There's no brachial pulse.

HEART-RATE MONITOR BEEPS

He's in EMD. There's no output.

Okay. Start CPR. Push those fluids through.

Terri!

Look, if I've caused any tension between you and Jack, I'm sorry.

You do know I would never approach Jack about that seriously.

You haven't caused a problem, alright?

Okay. (laughs)

But you know, I'm really surprised you didn't find his jokes offensive.

I think he was just trying to salvage the situation.

Charlotte, if you're going to have a baby,

I wouldn't let anyone trivialise it.

It's going to be hard enough.

Thank you. Anyway, rest easy - Jack's all yours.

You know, Charlotte, I mean, he's so much younger than me.

Um, it's not serious. He can do what he wants.

He was lucky.

Yeah, an inch to the left and it would have hit the abdominal aorta.

He wouldn't have stood a chance.

You know, it would be a great shame if you ever gave up your career.

You're a natural.

I hope it won't come to that.

Just make sure it doesn't, okay?

You stay on Frank's good side.

I didn't know he had one.

Just be here.

Von, Mr Hayek's just arrived.

I tracked him down at work. What?

He doesn't seem to know anything about the daughter being here.

Did someone tell you to call him?

No, but we always call next of kin.

Mrs Hayek's here. She's next of kin.

Yeah, yeah, she's next of kin for the daughter.

He's next of kin for the wife,

and now that she's being treated I thought it was good he was here.

So you took it upon yourself to call him to come in here?

That's great. Great.

Von! I was following procedure. Have I done something wrong?

I don't understand. They're both sick?

Your wife will be fine,

but your daughter's injuries are rather more serious.

She ruptured her spleen, which we've just removed.

How did this happen?

We don't know, but we think she may have been beaten.

Who could do such a thing?

I want to see them both.

Yasmin's in recovery and your wife's being attended to.

I want to see her now.

You will have to wait until she's ready.

Ready?

What is going on?

Your wife is very concerned about Yasmin's injuries

and we were hoping you could shed some light on what happened.

She thinks I would hurt Yasmin?

No, no. No-one's saying that.

I must see my wife and daughter now.

They're both in very good hands, Mr Hayek.

I'll be the judge of that.

Let's hope we can keep a lid on this.

If the Hayeks wanna kick up a fuss, they've got plenty of ammunition.

And you, Charlotte, will be in the firing line, just for a change.

She begged me for that reversal. It was the right thing to do.

She's old enough to make that decision for herself!

No, she wasn't, Charlotte. She was 15 years old.

Okay, Vincent. What would you have done?

Vincent?

Can you give us a minute, please? Sure.

I would have followed the correct procedure

which is something you should have done.

You can't just go making up the rules yourself, Charlotte.

You know, I never realised just how conservative you were until today.

Conservative? I don't know about that.

I do think that choosing to have a child on your own

is a little selfish.

(sighs)

Would you say that to a straight woman?

No. You would completely understand the desire to have a child.

I'd say it to a straight woman who was single.

At the risk of getting my head bitten off...

(sighs)

..why do you have to have a child on your own?

How many kids are there out there who actually need someone like you?

I'm not saying you wouldn't be a good mother, Charlotte.

I'm just saying maybe you should channel your feelings

into a different direction.

You know what? You don't get this.

There is no point in having this discussion.

Mrs Hayek, your husband really wants to talk to you.

Who tells him I am here?

The office contacted him as your next of kin.

I don't want to see him. I need to think.

That's your choice, but you're going to have to talk to him sometime.

Mrs Hayek would you like to see your husband now?

No. I will see my daughter now.

Please, you will come with me.

I need someone strong.

Whatever it is, Yasmin, you can tell me. I won't judge you.

I can't, Mama.

Listen to me. I'm very worried about you.

I want to know what to tell your father.

I don't want you to tell him.

It can't be that bad, can it?

Was it your father who hurt you, Yasmin?

No. He would never do anything like that.

I go to this club after school.

Are you with men? Is that who beat you?

It's a club for women, Mama.

It was one of them who beat me.

A woman beat you.

Why does a woman beat you?

(voice breaks) Because I broke up with her.

I don't believe this. She's still sick from the operation.

(sobs) I'm sorry. I deserve everything that's happened.

It's not true. This cannot be happening!

I'll never do it again.

This is not my daughter.

You can't turn away from your daughter.

You not understand. She will be shunned by the community.

Then she will need your support.

How do I tell her father?

Sometimes, I think, it's best to...say nothing at all.

JACK: Wait up.

Why are you so angry?

If you've got a hang-up about this sort of stuff

then you should know right now that I donated sperm when I was a student.

So does that make me some kind of a monster?

If I believed you'd sat down

and thought about what fatherhood involves,

I probably wouldn't have a problem with it.

We're not talking about fatherhood.

A father is someone who raises a child, not donates sperm.

Oh, it's that easy, is it? Yeah. Yeah. Can be.

Okay, so the child just inherits your genes

and you have no responsibility.

So if it's born with a disability or abandoned or unloved

you don't have a problem with that?

I mean, you know what that's not even what this is about for me.

Then what is this about?

(sighs) Oh, Jack...

You know what you said last night, you just...

..you don't say that when you're in a relationship.

Don't you understand how that made me feel?

It was a joke.

It wasn't funny.

It was humiliating. It made me feel like you don't care about me.

Well, I do.

Today, you're wondering why I'm so upset

and I thought it would have been pretty obvious.

I didn't realise.

Exactly.

Von?

Hey, I just wanted to let you know

there'll be no fall-out from Yasmin's procedure.

I've spoken to Frank and we're in the clear.

Well, that makes me feel terrific.

I thought you supported her right to get this done.

I did.

I do.

But the fact that we're in the clear doesn't mean Jasmin is.

What do you think her home life's going to be like now -

her relationship with her mother?

She had to face coming out at some point.

If she didn't, she'd be living a lie her entire life.

Frankly, I think she's better off getting as far away as possible

from whoever it was that bashed her.

It was a woman, Charlotte. One of her lesbian lovers.

Dangerous making assumptions, isn't it?

You should know that by now.

That never occurred to me. No.

I tell you this.

If you ever place me or one of my patients

in a compromising position like that again...

..I will not cover for you.

That's a promise.

I didn't meant to... Goodnight, Dr Beaumont.

Thank you. You're welcome.

Another stunning success, Oscar.

Yes. Another glioma blown away.

Well done.

Good luck.

Oscar. Excuse me.

Did you manage to take a look at those CTs?

Oh, yes. Nasty one.

Too nasty?

Well, it's marginal, but I think it's worth a shot.

Everything's possible.

That's great news.

One problem.

I still have to fit him in.

They can't go private, and my public list is full.

Come on, Oscar.

A Stereotactic Guidance this complex -

you'd kill to do it, and you know it.

You think my vanity button's that easy to push, do you?

I'm hoping it is.

Look, I'll get back to you in a couple of days.

If there isn't a hole, I'll make one.

It's fantastic.

We can't thank you enough.

If it weren't for you two,

I don't know what we would have done.

You've been bloody marvellous, both of you.

What do you reckon, son?

Um, when?

Well, as soon as Oscar Wu can fit you in.

Very soon, I think.

Now remember, it's new, radical surgery,

and it doesn't come with a guarantee.

But it's a shot, right?

A good one?

Yes. It is.

That's all we need.

Cal will do the rest. He's a fighter.

No, no, no, if you hadn't kept pushing me.

No, you saw it through.

Only because you wouldn't let me

get away with anything less than 100% effort.

I feel fantastic. We make a good team.

Listen, you want to have dinner to celebrate?

Some other time maybe.

Come on! I can't drink alone.

How sad would that be?

Alright, alright.

If I'm still alive after my walk with Frank.

Okay, great. I'll see you at 7.00.

I don't care if your father's on his bloody death bed.

Charming.

You've got Hughes running around like a blue-arse fly

covering for you.

What, are you shagging him?

You're a real arsehole, you know that?

Doctor Arsehole to you, that's the difference.

I'm qualified, and you never will be if you keep...

What's the real problem, Frank?

You hate the fact, that unlike you,

I'm willing to put my family's welfare ahead of my career?

Excuse me?

I don't know what your family problems are.

But it's only your ego keeping you in this job.

If you had the guts, you'd get your priorities right.

Frank.

I had a talk to Gwynneth Carsdale.

And I shouldn't have interfered.

She knows her stuff. I'm sorry.

She doesn't have all the answers. Nobody does.

Okay, well, I shouldn't have interfered.

So, if you need anything, I want you to ask, okay?

You know, Gwynneth is the expert, but she hasn't asked it.

And neither, for that matter, have you.

Asked what?

The million-dollar question.

Why don't I just give up work and look after Kathleen full-time.

'Cause you're more than just a father.

Sorry.

Sorry I hurt you.

Thanks.

Um, see the thing is, I didn't know I could.

'Cause up until now you've made it very clear where I stand -

just a bit of fun, but don't get too close

because I'm not really available.

I never said that.

You didn't have to.

I'm not completely insensitive.

So, I need to clarify, because today you used the 'R' word.

And if this is a full-on relationship, that changes things.

If I'm just a light distraction...

Jack, I never meant to make you feel like a light distraction.

No, it's okay.

Suits me.

If that's all it is, you know.

So... (clears throat)

..your call.

Okay.

Um, I think, you're right.

I think, we should keep it light.

And forget about last night.

Yep.
