Malpractice (2023) s01e02 Episode Script
Episode 2
1
This is 23-year-old Edith Owusu.
Found unconscious at home following
an accidental opioid overdose.
How has this happened again?
Watch your back!
Ramya, swap her out
for the shooting.
I've never treated
an opioid overdose.
800 microgram doses of naloxone.
Let me know when she improves.
Leo, pick up your phone.
We need you here.
She's gone into respiratory arrest.
Put out the arrest call. Go!
All right, that's enough, Lucinda.
How could you be so stupid?!
We have to proceed
with a formal investigation
into your fitness to practise.
Someone changed "accidental"
to "deliberate" overdose.
I changed the notes.
This is my career
that's on the line.
I know.
Your Edith's GP.
We need to tell them the truth.
You'll ruin everything.
I'll tell them you're an addict!
I'm not an addict!
'Lucinda, it's Beth.
'Where are you? You're late.
'Why aren't you here?'
I'm sorry, I got a
I got a bit delayed
I don't care.
There's an RTA on the way.
You need to get here now.
I'll be right in.
Oh, my God.
OK, breathe.
What happened?
Local GP, Dr Rob Thornbury.
Got hit by a car in Park Square.
Almost lost him,
but the ambulance got him back.
Sorry, Jack. Mind your feet.
Sorry about that.
Oh, God.
Ramya, if it's too much,
you can move down to Majors.
No, no, I'm fine.
He's got multiple injuries.
Take his belongings and contact
his next of kin, please. Thank you.
OK, we're losing him.
I need you to get Cardiothoracics
here now. Yeah.
OK, he's got a haemothorax.
I need to drain it.
Ramya, you need to assist me, OK?
Er OK, but what about this?
If the haemothorax kills him,
he's not gonna care too much
about his legs, will he?
Right, yeah, of course, of course.
Shit!
Jesus Christ, Ramya, you need
to secure the artery first.
I'm sorry.
I'll do it. Venus, just help her
for a minute, please.
Good?
Yep.
OK, Venus, if you could go down
and just lift this leg.
OK, that's it.
A little bit higher.
Thank you.
OK, scalpel.
I'm gonna have to make it tighter.
Give me that.
Put some pressure on here.
OK, we're in.
Are you good? Yeah.
OK, his BP's still dropping.
His jugular veins are distended,
and his heart sounds are muffled.
Cardiac tamponade?
Cardiothoracics are finishing up
in theatre.
They're gonna be ten minutes.
He's gonna be gone before then.
Cardiac arrest.
OK, everyone on.
Oscar, we need to start
compressions now.
Beth, I need a scalpel
and the scissors.
I'm gonna do
an emergency thoracotomy.
You need to keep that on,
that pressure on there.
Will somebody mute that monitor,
please?
OK, step back.
We're gonna go in for an incision.
OK, I need scissors.
Quick, we're gonna run out of time.
Oscar, you're gonna cut
through the intercostal muscle,
and you're gonna meet me
at the sternum, OK? Yep.
Ready, go.
OK, stop there.
OK, now go through the sternum.
OK. Oscar, Ramya,
I want you to pull back either side
of the chest.
You're gonna retract the ribs
and hold steady, OK?
Yeah. OK, ready?
Yeah.
Beth, I need forceps and scissors.
Small ones, please.
I've made an incision
into the pericardium.
It's relieving the pressure
around the heart.
I need to find
the source of the bleeding.
Come on, come on, come on.
Come on. Come on.
OK, I need to massage the heart
in order to restart.
Come on.
Come on, come on, come on.
Come on, come on.
Oh, my God, you've done it.
OK, you can step away, step away.
Cardiothoracics can review
when they arrive.
OK?
Yeah.
Is everyone all right?
Yeah.
Yes?
Well done, everyone.
'Lucinda?'
I'm sorry, George.
Listen, it's madness here today.
We're understaffed.
One of the A&E regs,
they called in sick,
so I'm gonna have to stay and cover
for the afternoon shift,
so could we by any chance
do the interview tomorrow?
Fine, but if you cancel again,
we will have to escalate this, OK?
Thank you.
OK.
'All right, bye.'
Thank you.
That her?
Yeah.
What's her excuse?
Someone called in sick,
she has to cover.
Do you believe her?
It's A&E. It's plausible, right?
If she doesn't come in tomorrow,
we'll know she's avoiding us.
Coffee?
Yes.
Hiya.
Is Abi sleeping?
Yeah, I just put her down.
Could you not find a minute
to call me today?
You just disappeared this morning.
I'm so sorry, I
I got called into work early.
There was an RTA, so
I'm sorry, I should have texted you.
Was it OK?
It's not a broken ankle.
No, I meant I meant are you OK?
Um
No, it was someone
who I used to work with
which made it even worse, so
I postponed the MIU interview
till tomorrow.
I didn't realise.
Here.
I'm sorry.
Thank you for attending
this interview, Dr Edwards.
Not at all.
Thank you for rearranging
at such short notice.
Due to the last-minute reschedule,
your rep can't be here.
Are you happy to proceed?
Um yeah.
We need to clarify some things
that have come up
since we first spoke.
OK.
Kathy, first slide, please.
CCTV shows you stepping out
for a break at 8.52.
An ambulance called A&E at 9.07,
informing A&E
they were en route with Edith Owusu.
Yes, and then I went straight back.
So, why, if A&E first knew
about Edith Owusu at 9.07,
were you able to tell Dr Morgan
that an overdose was on its way
before you went for your break
at 8.52?
Well, she's mistaken.
There's no way
I would have been able to tell her
about the call before it came in.
Kathy, next slide, please.
Whose number is this?
I don't know.
At 8.27, you received a call lasting
under a minute from this number.
At 8.29, the same number phones 999,
informing them
of Edith Owusu's overdose.
Then immediately after at 8.32,
they call you back.
And a few minutes later,
you tell Dr Morgan
that an overdose is on its way.
It seems the friend who called 999
about Edith Owusu's overdose
is also an acquaintance of yours.
I have no connection
with Edith Owusu.
And have you tried to trace
the call?
Yes, when we tried
to trace the call,
it came back as unregistered.
So, whose number is it?
I don't know. I get
I'm an A&E reg, OK.
I get 100 calls every night
on a shift.
So, this person didn't call you
about Edith Owusu?
No.
Because given what happened next,
that's the kind of call
you'd remember.
I didn't get any call.
And they didn't call you back to say
an ambulance was on its way?
No. And a few minutes later,
you didn't tell Dr Morgan
an overdose was expected?
No, maybe she mixed it up
with another earlier overdose.
Except there weren't any others.
Well, then,
you're as confused as I am.
I don't know!
Right, let's move on.
You kindly gave us access
to your occupational health record.
During the pandemic,
you took some time off for stress.
Er, yeah.
Was there any specific trigger?
Probably because I was
on the front line
during a global pandemic.
Right, it's just that from
the dates, it seems you burnt out
right at the start
when the pandemic had barely begun.
Yeah, because I'd only just
come back
from maternity leave a few weeks.
But I'm not ashamed to say that I
that I struggled.
Then why have large sections
of your record been redacted?
I'm not legally required
to discuss anything that has been
expunged from my record.
We have a source
who says you assaulted a patient.
No, that's not what happened,
and it's not an assault.
So, what did happen?
Yeah, fine.
Fine. Um
I was asked to come back
from my maternity leave early
to help out cos things were so bad,
and I was tired,
I was run-down. Abi was
My daughter, she was breast-feeding
at the time,
and I thought it was that.
But in fact,
I had COVID, and I didn't know,
and I continued to work.
And then
a lot of people died.
There was patients' families
who had come with them
and, er
and they were able to trace it back
to when I treated them in A&E.
I was given ten days off
for my anxiety,
for the harm that I'd caused,
and then, because of that,
I returned to work,
and I was on edge.
I was fas
just fastidious about hand-washing
and masks and sanitising.
And then one day,
this drunk just walked into A&E,
ranting about his opinions
on how COVID is fake.
It's all fake news,
it doesn't exist.
Meanwhile, he is coughing
and spluttering
all over patients who'd been waiting
hours to see a doctor,
and some of them were
incredibly ill,
so I asked him kindly
to put on a mask, and he didn't.
And he became aggressive towards me,
and security
they were useless.
They were terrified themselves
of getting COVID.
They didn't help.
And so, Dr Harris helped me
escort him out of A&E.
I should never have come back
to work so soon,
and that is my fault.
But why get the record erased?
Because there were inaccuracies
in the way it was detailed.
Inaccuracies that would affect
your future work as a doctor?
They were reviewed
and deemed appropriate to be erased.
By Dr Harris,
the man who trained you
and wants you to be his successor.
So, according to you,
there was no assault
during the pandemic.
No.
But we've been informed
of another, more recent assault
on a colleague.
It's a pattern we can't ignore
Sorry
What?! Who the heck said that?
Our sources are confidential.
OK, so, have they made
an official complaint?
No.
OK, then, there you go.
Look, A&E is
an incredibly tough place.
Emotions run high all the time.
You have to deal with people
who are having
the worst day of their life,
and people can't hack it.
But for those of us who can,
we just fucking get on with it.
That may be the case,
but we're still taking this
very, very seriously
Let's leave it there for today.
She's clearly lying.
Whoever called 999 knew Lucinda
and warned her
of Edith's overdose in advance.
Yeah, but how do we prove it
if the number's unregistered?
What's she hiding?
This is nothing like the person
I used to work with. Mm.
What are you doing tomorrow night?
Er, well
It's not a date, relax.
Actually,
watching Chelsea kick Leeds' arse.
Careful.
You're not, actually.
Why not?
You're coming
to this delightful thing.
What's that?
The Patient Care Awards with me.
OK.
All right, what are you thinking?
Well, Lucinda's team's nominated.
Let's get a broader picture of her,
and while we're there,
let's talk to Ramya.
Ramya?
Yeah, well,
she's been pretty helpful so far.
Maybe we can persuade her
to help us out a little more.
OK, boss.
Lucinda!
Checking up on your gunshot patient?
No, no,
I was checking Rob Thornbury.
He was my supervisor
when I was in med school.
Oh, Luce, I'm so sorry. I didn't
I hadn't realised.
I know. No, it's fine.
Were you two close?
Yeah, we were,
but I haven't seen him in years,
so it's crazy.
Mm.
God.
So, how's he doing?
Honestly?
It's still touch and go.
God. Jeez.
I feel sorry for his wife,
left to look after two small kids
and a baby.
Anyway
Yeah, see you. Good luck.
Thank you for coming in.
Thank you for inviting me
into this humble abode.
What's that?
That is a little box that I got
in Ghana.
With all your little secrets.
There are no secrets in there.
You wanted to see me?
Look
You've always been my first choice,
as you know,
for the consultant post.
Mm-hm.
But given
the current circumstances, um
I'm sorry, but we just can't
offer you that job right now.
No, you can't do this.
If nothing comes of the inquest
or the MIU investigation,
then obviously,
the job will be yours.
You know I would not be
in this situation if you were there.
Oh, come on!
How many times have I lied
and covered for you?
No, no, you're not doing this.
I worked my arse off.
Yes, you did.
I did everything right.
Mm-hm.
I passed my exams early,
my ePortfolio is perfect.
You promised me that job.
And the job will be yours. Look
The board
Mm.
They just want to cover
their arses, Lucinda, just in case
the investigation doesn't go
our way.
Fine.
It's a legal thing, you know.
Fine.
I'm sorry.
OK, anything else?
No. Er, yes. Yes, look, um
The award ceremony tonight,
I think everybody would understand
if you didn't feel up to going.
I feel great, so I'll be there.
Um, OK. Look, to be honest,
the board, again, feel
that it might be a bit awkward
You're unbelievable!
You're unbelievable!
With the current
given situation
Ramya, what are you doing here?
You've only been on A&E
for two months.
Yeah, well,
I heard Beth couldn't come,
so I persuaded Dr Harris
to give me her ticket.
Course you did.
Have you seen Lucinda around?
Oh, mate, you're unbelievable!
Yeah, she's at the bar.
Get me a drink while you're there.

Thank you very much.
Bit fancy, innit?
Don't they ever stop working?
You know what? I suspect they're
here to try and ruin my night.
But they won't.
Here's to our team.
Cheers.
One mojito mocktail for you.
Lovely.
And a virgin pina colada for me.
Cheers.
Professor Lonergan, hi.
I am so sorry to interrupt.
I'm a huge fan of your work.
Sorry, I'm Dr Lucinda Edwards.
I'm a doctor at RH.
Corrine, please.
This is Jubair Singh.
Nice to meet you.
He's the owner
of the Wellspring Pharmacy chain.
I just need to speak
to someone there.
I'll catch you later.
Nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you.
Are you, um?
Are you up for an award?
No, no, I'm Vice President
of Biocura Pharmaceuticals.
We're the main sponsor tonight.
I thought you told her not to come.
I did.
I actually CCT soon,
so if there's
any good consultant jobs going,
can you give me a call?
I'm on the hospital board.
Yes.
So, I know about the young lady
who died
and the investigation.
Look, something similar happened
to me when I was younger,
and I really regret letting it alter
the direction of my work.
From what I hear, you have
a bright career ahead of you.
You're a talented doctor.
Don't let this ruin it.
Thank you very much.
Excuse me.
Enjoy your night.
'Let's Dance' by David Bowie
Our final award is given
in recognition
of the outstanding effort
during the COVID pandemic,
kindly sponsored
by Wellspring Pharmacies.
I'd like to invite the founder,
Dr Jubair Singh,
to present the award.
I'd like to first congratulate
all the teams
who are nominated
for this very special award.
If we could award you all, we would.
So, without further ado,
the winners of the Outstanding
COVID Response Award are
West Yorkshire Royal Hospital's
A&E team.
No!
I'll go up.
Whoo!
Thank you so much.
Wow!
Oh, my God, wow!
Um
What an honour!
I can honestly say that I was
not expecting us to win this.
OK, I just wanna thank
our fantastic A&E team
for all your hard work
during the pandemic.
And I wanna just say
a special thank you
to two people who are here tonight,
Dr Leo Harris,
our amazing team leader
Leo, stand up.
That's it, Leo. Come on, stand up.
And let's not forget Dr Willett.
Come on, yes.
This is exactly why
I didn't want her here.
Thank you for your constant support
and dedication.
Where would we be without you?
During the pandemic, A&E staff,
we faced an unprecedented crisis,
thinking up, you know, novel ways
to cope
with the sheer volume of cases.
And I'm not ashamed to admit
that, sometimes, I got it wrong.
We all did.
Doctors, management,
government.
None of us had a fucking clue
what we were doing.
And that's because we're human.
We're just trying to do our best,
while juggling these protocols
and assignments and assessments
and bad press,
with the constant pressure
of all this bureaucratic bullshit
that makes each day harder.
So, I'm gonna dedicate this award
to all the medical staff
that are just trying to do
their best, even if, sometimes,
they're made to feel
like their best isn't good enough.
Whoo!
Well, that was subtle
Are we celebrating negligence now?
Apparently.
'Young Hearts Run Free'
by Candi Staton
Whoo!
Ramya.
Can I get you a drink?
I'm all right, thanks.
Um, actually, can you talk?
About what?
Lucinda.
OK.
But not here.
We have concerns about Lucinda's
behaviour and practice,
but we need your help
to find out more.
It would be useful for us
to have somebody like you,
who's already part of the team,
reporting back to us
on a regular basis.
Wait, sorry,
you want me to spy on Lucinda?
Well, you've been a really great
source of information so far.
So, then, don't you have
enough on her already?
I mean, surely
I told you she assaulted me.
I know, and that's helped us a lot.
Let me think about it.
As a doctor, Ramya,
you are duty-bound
to ensure patient
I said I'll think about it.
I've already risked a lot
telling you as much as I have.
Sorry about that.
Sorry to call you in early,
but the coroner's summons
has arrived for the Owusu inquest.
Can I just ask,
why is this going to an inquest?
Suicides and death from substance
misuse always go to the coroner.
Stick to the facts regarding
the treatment you gave Edith,
you'll be fine.
You mean the treatment I gave
under Lucinda's instruction.
Well, if you listened to my
instruction, you wouldn't be here.
Then you should have documented
your plan, but you didn't.
I was trying to save a boy's life.
There was no time.
You know as well as I do
that in medicine,
if it wasn't written down,
it didn't happen.
We want to avoid any of this
"you said, she said" business.
Mike is right. We do need to present
a united front on this, hm?
So, if that's all clear, you can go.
Crystal.
Good.
Ramya?
Yeah, it's clear.
Good, I'll see you later.
Check in with Beth and tell her I'm
gonna be a couple of minutes late.
Thank you, Ramya.
OK, so, who else has been summoned?
Me, Ramya
Which other doctors? You?
No, just her psychiatrist
and her GP.
Who's her GP?
Um
Dr Charlotte Peal.
You know her?
Um No.
No, I thought I did.
Yeah, I know,
but those are the symptoms,
so I'm not sure how else you want me
to put this.
Look, I'm just saying,
if Mary Johnson
doesn't get her scan, then
Yeah. No, that's fine. I'll redo
the request. Yeah, thank you.
Mary Johnson's in again?
I only discharged her two days ago.
Yep. No, she's back
with the same vague abdo pain,
and Radiology have refused
my request to scan her
unless my request is more specific.
Do you want me to write it?
Would you?
Come here.
Write down your login details,
and I'll get to it
once I've finished mine.
You are a life-saver.
You all right?
Mm-hm.
Sure?
Yeah, just need caffeine.
Don't we all?
See you in a bit.
Oh, Beattie, Beattie,
Beattie, Beattie.
It was the, um, horse statue
in City Square.
We were doing a politically-minded
fashion shoot, and
Mm-hm.
You are
You're shaking quite a lot.
Can you not do that?
That would really help me.
Do you think it'll scar?
Not if you stop moving.
Do you know what?
How about I give you something
that's gonna help you calm down?
OK?
Mm-hm.
And then, I can
finish this later.
Thanks.
Can you fetch me
four 10mg diazepam tablets
from the medical cupboard, please?
40mg?
You'll knock her out.
I'm sorry, but if you had someone
who was threading a needle
close to your eye,
how conscious would you like to be?
Yeah, point taken. OK.
Sorry, mate.
Excuse me. Hi, I wanna get
I need to get my phone fixed,
please.
My little girl dropped it,
and, erm,
when I try to turn it back on now,
the passcode's not being recognised.
Yeah, sure.
Just put your name and number down.
OK, on that, can you make sure
that none of the ph
the data, like, the photos
HE CONTINUES CHATTING
Excuse me, I need to keep
all the content on it.
Yeah, sure.
Look, just come tomorrow morning.
I'm sorry, mate.
Any chance I could just hang around
and you could just fix it now?
We're closing right now.
How long will it take? Ten minutes?
You know what?
If you wanna take it somewhere else,
you can do.
No, no, it's fine, it's fine.
Thank you.
Thank you for your help.

'Police are appealing for witnesses
after a local GP was left
'with critical injuries following
a road collision in Leeds'
God's sake.
They always go
too fast on that road.
They should put up a camera
or something.
Mm.
'West Yorkshire Police are treating
the incident as suspicious.
'They want anyone who saw
what happened to contact them.'
I've got to go to bed.
Yeah?
Yeah.
Hi, Eva.
I'm Dr Lucinda Edwards.
I was one of the doctors
that looked after your husband.
Oh, God, what's happened?
No, sorry, there's been no change.
OK.
I'm so sorry
I've dropped in on you like this.
Is it OK if I come in and talk?
Oh, yeah. Sorry, yes.
Come in.
Could you? Thank you.
Yeah, I'll get this for you.
Courtney, could you take
the kids to the playroom?
Thank you so much.
OK. Bye, gorgeous.
Sorry, can I take your coat?
No, it's fine.
OK. All righty.
So, it's two two boys
And a girl, yes.
Lovely.
Um
Sorry, I don't mean to be rude,
but A&E doctors don't routinely
visit their patients' homes.
No.
Rob was actually my supervisor
at medical school,
but we've been in contact
more recently for work.
Work? What work?
A few months ago, Rob contacted me
to help with some of his GP patients
that needed some A&E treatment.
Go on.
They were patients
that he was helping
with ongoing addiction problems
after they left treatment,
patients that he said he was
prescribing for at his GP practice.
He said he was flexible
with their prescribing
so that, you know,
they wouldn't buy street drugs.
Yeah, because he's a good doctor
and working in an inflexible system.
I thought that he was, you know,
giving them
a week's worth of methadone so they
didn't have to pick it up every day.
Yeah, well, Rob's good like that.
He'll do anything he can
to help keep his patients
on track to recovery.
One of Rob's patients
accidentally overdosed.
He called me and asked me to code
that overdose as deliberate,
a suicide attempt, so that nobody
would question his prescribing.
No way!
Rob would never ask you to do that.
OK, but he did, and now she's dead,
and the MIU is investigating me.
And if they're investigating me,
they will find out
about Rob's prescribing.
Look, whatever mistakes
you made in A&E,
that has nothing to do with Rob.
I've looked at her medical record,
and I can't find
Rob's name anywhere.
He wasn't her GP.
Yeah, well,
that's obviously a mistake.
Incorrect patient information
is uploaded all the time.
She's not the only one.
It's happened three times.
What are you trying to say?
Rob was prescribing for people
that weren't his patients,
and I was helping to cover it up
and didn't realise what I was doing.
I can't believe
My husband is lying in ITU,
nearly dead,
and you come here to my home,
and you say
all these things about him.
I don't know who the hell
you think you are!
Eva, I'm so sorry.
I'm not trying to upset you.
This whole situation is getting
out of control.
Oh, so, you just thought
you'd blame it all on Rob.
No, I just wanna warn you that Rob
could be in as much trouble as I am.
Look, don't implicate my husband
in whatever mess you're in.
I would like you to leave.
Now! Get out of my house!
Get out!
I'm sorry, Eva. I'm sorry.
Medical or trauma?
'Hi, I've got
a severe opioid overdose.
'27-year-old male,
ETA seven minutes.'
This is Milo Hanbury,
27, accidental opioid overdose.
Ramya, naloxone is competing
with an opioid for the receptors,
but its half-life is short,
which means if a patient took
a lot of opiates,
the effects will continue
once the naloxone wears off.
Respiratory rate is returning
to normal.
GCS is improving.
OK, so, this immediate improvement
will last around 20 to 30 minutes,
sometimes longer, sometimes shorter,
so that is why it is so important
to watch and wait
and make sure that the patient's
breathing rate remains stable.
Er, Lucinda, it's dropping again.
Can I get another dose
of naloxone, please?
Shit, his cannula's tissued.
He's not breathing properly.
The naloxone is working,
it's just being blocked rapidly,
which means the patient has either
taken a drug that is competing
with the binding site,
or he's taken a long-acting
high-strength opioid.
Can you just move out of here?
Excuse me, Milo.
Milo, can you hear me, love?
Milo?
Shall I call Dr Harris?
No, we just have to get a line in
and run a naloxone infusion.
I can't get another line in.
OK, let me do it, will you?
OK, his veins are fucked.
OK, I need to get a central line
in his neck fast.
Lucinda, his respiratory rate
Shouldn't we intubate him
before he crashes?
No, cos I need to get a line in.
I know what I'm doing.
Can we prep his neck, please?
So, you're gonna go in blind?
We've got an ultrasound machine.
He doesn't have any fucking time,
does he?
This is bollocks.
I'm getting Dr Harris.
Scalpel.
Gauze. Quick, quick. Thank you.
Central line.
You're in.
Right, run that. Go.
Right, what rate and what dose?
Thank you, Alison.
OK, as soon as Oscar confirms
it's venous,
run the dose
at 720 micrograms per hour.
It is venous.
What's going on here?
The patient wasn't responding well
to a naloxone bolus,
so we did an infusion.
And it's working great.
You see?
You didn't need me after all.
Mrs Hanbury, Milo took
a large amount of opiate drugs,
and I'm afraid that all signs point
to him being a regular drug user.
No, he swore to me he's clean now.
The clinic cured him.
Excuse me, what clinic?
The Guelder Clinic.
Do you know the name of the doctor?
No, I don't know.
Oh, God.
I knew it was too good to be true.
Hey.
Oh, hi. Um
Thanks for meeting with me.
That's all right.
Er, so, I thought
about what you said at the awards.
OK.
And I'll help you.
The way Ramya described it,
Lucinda's behaviour
with Milo Hanbury
was strangely similar
to when she treated Edith.
She insisted
on treating him herself.
Do you think someone tipped her off
about Milo as well as Edith?
It's a serious possibility.
Right.
Let's get the admission dates
and times
of any opioid overdose patients
that Lucinda treated this year,
and let's cross-reference them
with her phone records.
Did she receive calls
shortly before any other overdoses
came in from our mystery caller?
Yeah.
George, and if so, do those numbers
match the 999 calls?
It'll take a few days.
It'll take as long as it takes,
isn't it?
If there's any connection
between these overdoses and Lucinda,
we're gonna find it.
Well, you're gonna find it.
There you go.
That's £15 altogether.
Cash.
Thank you.
Thank you.
'Rob, I need you
to call me back ASAP.
'They need to know
if you've dealt with her.
'If this goes any further,
then, trust me,
'you'll be the one going down
with her,
'so don't waste any time,
and sort it out.'
This is 23-year-old Edith Owusu.
Found unconscious at home following
an accidental opioid overdose.
How has this happened again?
Watch your back!
Ramya, swap her out
for the shooting.
I've never treated
an opioid overdose.
800 microgram doses of naloxone.
Let me know when she improves.
Leo, pick up your phone.
We need you here.
She's gone into respiratory arrest.
Put out the arrest call. Go!
All right, that's enough, Lucinda.
How could you be so stupid?!
We have to proceed
with a formal investigation
into your fitness to practise.
Someone changed "accidental"
to "deliberate" overdose.
I changed the notes.
This is my career
that's on the line.
I know.
Your Edith's GP.
We need to tell them the truth.
You'll ruin everything.
I'll tell them you're an addict!
I'm not an addict!
'Lucinda, it's Beth.
'Where are you? You're late.
'Why aren't you here?'
I'm sorry, I got a
I got a bit delayed
I don't care.
There's an RTA on the way.
You need to get here now.
I'll be right in.
Oh, my God.
OK, breathe.
What happened?
Local GP, Dr Rob Thornbury.
Got hit by a car in Park Square.
Almost lost him,
but the ambulance got him back.
Sorry, Jack. Mind your feet.
Sorry about that.
Oh, God.
Ramya, if it's too much,
you can move down to Majors.
No, no, I'm fine.
He's got multiple injuries.
Take his belongings and contact
his next of kin, please. Thank you.
OK, we're losing him.
I need you to get Cardiothoracics
here now. Yeah.
OK, he's got a haemothorax.
I need to drain it.
Ramya, you need to assist me, OK?
Er OK, but what about this?
If the haemothorax kills him,
he's not gonna care too much
about his legs, will he?
Right, yeah, of course, of course.
Shit!
Jesus Christ, Ramya, you need
to secure the artery first.
I'm sorry.
I'll do it. Venus, just help her
for a minute, please.
Good?
Yep.
OK, Venus, if you could go down
and just lift this leg.
OK, that's it.
A little bit higher.
Thank you.
OK, scalpel.
I'm gonna have to make it tighter.
Give me that.
Put some pressure on here.
OK, we're in.
Are you good? Yeah.
OK, his BP's still dropping.
His jugular veins are distended,
and his heart sounds are muffled.
Cardiac tamponade?
Cardiothoracics are finishing up
in theatre.
They're gonna be ten minutes.
He's gonna be gone before then.
Cardiac arrest.
OK, everyone on.
Oscar, we need to start
compressions now.
Beth, I need a scalpel
and the scissors.
I'm gonna do
an emergency thoracotomy.
You need to keep that on,
that pressure on there.
Will somebody mute that monitor,
please?
OK, step back.
We're gonna go in for an incision.
OK, I need scissors.
Quick, we're gonna run out of time.
Oscar, you're gonna cut
through the intercostal muscle,
and you're gonna meet me
at the sternum, OK? Yep.
Ready, go.
OK, stop there.
OK, now go through the sternum.
OK. Oscar, Ramya,
I want you to pull back either side
of the chest.
You're gonna retract the ribs
and hold steady, OK?
Yeah. OK, ready?
Yeah.
Beth, I need forceps and scissors.
Small ones, please.
I've made an incision
into the pericardium.
It's relieving the pressure
around the heart.
I need to find
the source of the bleeding.
Come on, come on, come on.
Come on. Come on.
OK, I need to massage the heart
in order to restart.
Come on.
Come on, come on, come on.
Come on, come on.
Oh, my God, you've done it.
OK, you can step away, step away.
Cardiothoracics can review
when they arrive.
OK?
Yeah.
Is everyone all right?
Yeah.
Yes?
Well done, everyone.
'Lucinda?'
I'm sorry, George.
Listen, it's madness here today.
We're understaffed.
One of the A&E regs,
they called in sick,
so I'm gonna have to stay and cover
for the afternoon shift,
so could we by any chance
do the interview tomorrow?
Fine, but if you cancel again,
we will have to escalate this, OK?
Thank you.
OK.
'All right, bye.'
Thank you.
That her?
Yeah.
What's her excuse?
Someone called in sick,
she has to cover.
Do you believe her?
It's A&E. It's plausible, right?
If she doesn't come in tomorrow,
we'll know she's avoiding us.
Coffee?
Yes.
Hiya.
Is Abi sleeping?
Yeah, I just put her down.
Could you not find a minute
to call me today?
You just disappeared this morning.
I'm so sorry, I
I got called into work early.
There was an RTA, so
I'm sorry, I should have texted you.
Was it OK?
It's not a broken ankle.
No, I meant I meant are you OK?
Um
No, it was someone
who I used to work with
which made it even worse, so
I postponed the MIU interview
till tomorrow.
I didn't realise.
Here.
I'm sorry.
Thank you for attending
this interview, Dr Edwards.
Not at all.
Thank you for rearranging
at such short notice.
Due to the last-minute reschedule,
your rep can't be here.
Are you happy to proceed?
Um yeah.
We need to clarify some things
that have come up
since we first spoke.
OK.
Kathy, first slide, please.
CCTV shows you stepping out
for a break at 8.52.
An ambulance called A&E at 9.07,
informing A&E
they were en route with Edith Owusu.
Yes, and then I went straight back.
So, why, if A&E first knew
about Edith Owusu at 9.07,
were you able to tell Dr Morgan
that an overdose was on its way
before you went for your break
at 8.52?
Well, she's mistaken.
There's no way
I would have been able to tell her
about the call before it came in.
Kathy, next slide, please.
Whose number is this?
I don't know.
At 8.27, you received a call lasting
under a minute from this number.
At 8.29, the same number phones 999,
informing them
of Edith Owusu's overdose.
Then immediately after at 8.32,
they call you back.
And a few minutes later,
you tell Dr Morgan
that an overdose is on its way.
It seems the friend who called 999
about Edith Owusu's overdose
is also an acquaintance of yours.
I have no connection
with Edith Owusu.
And have you tried to trace
the call?
Yes, when we tried
to trace the call,
it came back as unregistered.
So, whose number is it?
I don't know. I get
I'm an A&E reg, OK.
I get 100 calls every night
on a shift.
So, this person didn't call you
about Edith Owusu?
No.
Because given what happened next,
that's the kind of call
you'd remember.
I didn't get any call.
And they didn't call you back to say
an ambulance was on its way?
No. And a few minutes later,
you didn't tell Dr Morgan
an overdose was expected?
No, maybe she mixed it up
with another earlier overdose.
Except there weren't any others.
Well, then,
you're as confused as I am.
I don't know!
Right, let's move on.
You kindly gave us access
to your occupational health record.
During the pandemic,
you took some time off for stress.
Er, yeah.
Was there any specific trigger?
Probably because I was
on the front line
during a global pandemic.
Right, it's just that from
the dates, it seems you burnt out
right at the start
when the pandemic had barely begun.
Yeah, because I'd only just
come back
from maternity leave a few weeks.
But I'm not ashamed to say that I
that I struggled.
Then why have large sections
of your record been redacted?
I'm not legally required
to discuss anything that has been
expunged from my record.
We have a source
who says you assaulted a patient.
No, that's not what happened,
and it's not an assault.
So, what did happen?
Yeah, fine.
Fine. Um
I was asked to come back
from my maternity leave early
to help out cos things were so bad,
and I was tired,
I was run-down. Abi was
My daughter, she was breast-feeding
at the time,
and I thought it was that.
But in fact,
I had COVID, and I didn't know,
and I continued to work.
And then
a lot of people died.
There was patients' families
who had come with them
and, er
and they were able to trace it back
to when I treated them in A&E.
I was given ten days off
for my anxiety,
for the harm that I'd caused,
and then, because of that,
I returned to work,
and I was on edge.
I was fas
just fastidious about hand-washing
and masks and sanitising.
And then one day,
this drunk just walked into A&E,
ranting about his opinions
on how COVID is fake.
It's all fake news,
it doesn't exist.
Meanwhile, he is coughing
and spluttering
all over patients who'd been waiting
hours to see a doctor,
and some of them were
incredibly ill,
so I asked him kindly
to put on a mask, and he didn't.
And he became aggressive towards me,
and security
they were useless.
They were terrified themselves
of getting COVID.
They didn't help.
And so, Dr Harris helped me
escort him out of A&E.
I should never have come back
to work so soon,
and that is my fault.
But why get the record erased?
Because there were inaccuracies
in the way it was detailed.
Inaccuracies that would affect
your future work as a doctor?
They were reviewed
and deemed appropriate to be erased.
By Dr Harris,
the man who trained you
and wants you to be his successor.
So, according to you,
there was no assault
during the pandemic.
No.
But we've been informed
of another, more recent assault
on a colleague.
It's a pattern we can't ignore
Sorry
What?! Who the heck said that?
Our sources are confidential.
OK, so, have they made
an official complaint?
No.
OK, then, there you go.
Look, A&E is
an incredibly tough place.
Emotions run high all the time.
You have to deal with people
who are having
the worst day of their life,
and people can't hack it.
But for those of us who can,
we just fucking get on with it.
That may be the case,
but we're still taking this
very, very seriously
Let's leave it there for today.
She's clearly lying.
Whoever called 999 knew Lucinda
and warned her
of Edith's overdose in advance.
Yeah, but how do we prove it
if the number's unregistered?
What's she hiding?
This is nothing like the person
I used to work with. Mm.
What are you doing tomorrow night?
Er, well
It's not a date, relax.
Actually,
watching Chelsea kick Leeds' arse.
Careful.
You're not, actually.
Why not?
You're coming
to this delightful thing.
What's that?
The Patient Care Awards with me.
OK.
All right, what are you thinking?
Well, Lucinda's team's nominated.
Let's get a broader picture of her,
and while we're there,
let's talk to Ramya.
Ramya?
Yeah, well,
she's been pretty helpful so far.
Maybe we can persuade her
to help us out a little more.
OK, boss.
Lucinda!
Checking up on your gunshot patient?
No, no,
I was checking Rob Thornbury.
He was my supervisor
when I was in med school.
Oh, Luce, I'm so sorry. I didn't
I hadn't realised.
I know. No, it's fine.
Were you two close?
Yeah, we were,
but I haven't seen him in years,
so it's crazy.
Mm.
God.
So, how's he doing?
Honestly?
It's still touch and go.
God. Jeez.
I feel sorry for his wife,
left to look after two small kids
and a baby.
Anyway
Yeah, see you. Good luck.
Thank you for coming in.
Thank you for inviting me
into this humble abode.
What's that?
That is a little box that I got
in Ghana.
With all your little secrets.
There are no secrets in there.
You wanted to see me?
Look
You've always been my first choice,
as you know,
for the consultant post.
Mm-hm.
But given
the current circumstances, um
I'm sorry, but we just can't
offer you that job right now.
No, you can't do this.
If nothing comes of the inquest
or the MIU investigation,
then obviously,
the job will be yours.
You know I would not be
in this situation if you were there.
Oh, come on!
How many times have I lied
and covered for you?
No, no, you're not doing this.
I worked my arse off.
Yes, you did.
I did everything right.
Mm-hm.
I passed my exams early,
my ePortfolio is perfect.
You promised me that job.
And the job will be yours. Look
The board
Mm.
They just want to cover
their arses, Lucinda, just in case
the investigation doesn't go
our way.
Fine.
It's a legal thing, you know.
Fine.
I'm sorry.
OK, anything else?
No. Er, yes. Yes, look, um
The award ceremony tonight,
I think everybody would understand
if you didn't feel up to going.
I feel great, so I'll be there.
Um, OK. Look, to be honest,
the board, again, feel
that it might be a bit awkward
You're unbelievable!
You're unbelievable!
With the current
given situation
Ramya, what are you doing here?
You've only been on A&E
for two months.
Yeah, well,
I heard Beth couldn't come,
so I persuaded Dr Harris
to give me her ticket.
Course you did.
Have you seen Lucinda around?
Oh, mate, you're unbelievable!
Yeah, she's at the bar.
Get me a drink while you're there.

Thank you very much.
Bit fancy, innit?
Don't they ever stop working?
You know what? I suspect they're
here to try and ruin my night.
But they won't.
Here's to our team.
Cheers.
One mojito mocktail for you.
Lovely.
And a virgin pina colada for me.
Cheers.
Professor Lonergan, hi.
I am so sorry to interrupt.
I'm a huge fan of your work.
Sorry, I'm Dr Lucinda Edwards.
I'm a doctor at RH.
Corrine, please.
This is Jubair Singh.
Nice to meet you.
He's the owner
of the Wellspring Pharmacy chain.
I just need to speak
to someone there.
I'll catch you later.
Nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you.
Are you, um?
Are you up for an award?
No, no, I'm Vice President
of Biocura Pharmaceuticals.
We're the main sponsor tonight.
I thought you told her not to come.
I did.
I actually CCT soon,
so if there's
any good consultant jobs going,
can you give me a call?
I'm on the hospital board.
Yes.
So, I know about the young lady
who died
and the investigation.
Look, something similar happened
to me when I was younger,
and I really regret letting it alter
the direction of my work.
From what I hear, you have
a bright career ahead of you.
You're a talented doctor.
Don't let this ruin it.
Thank you very much.
Excuse me.
Enjoy your night.
'Let's Dance' by David Bowie
Our final award is given
in recognition
of the outstanding effort
during the COVID pandemic,
kindly sponsored
by Wellspring Pharmacies.
I'd like to invite the founder,
Dr Jubair Singh,
to present the award.
I'd like to first congratulate
all the teams
who are nominated
for this very special award.
If we could award you all, we would.
So, without further ado,
the winners of the Outstanding
COVID Response Award are
West Yorkshire Royal Hospital's
A&E team.
No!
I'll go up.
Whoo!
Thank you so much.
Wow!
Oh, my God, wow!
Um
What an honour!
I can honestly say that I was
not expecting us to win this.
OK, I just wanna thank
our fantastic A&E team
for all your hard work
during the pandemic.
And I wanna just say
a special thank you
to two people who are here tonight,
Dr Leo Harris,
our amazing team leader
Leo, stand up.
That's it, Leo. Come on, stand up.
And let's not forget Dr Willett.
Come on, yes.
This is exactly why
I didn't want her here.
Thank you for your constant support
and dedication.
Where would we be without you?
During the pandemic, A&E staff,
we faced an unprecedented crisis,
thinking up, you know, novel ways
to cope
with the sheer volume of cases.
And I'm not ashamed to admit
that, sometimes, I got it wrong.
We all did.
Doctors, management,
government.
None of us had a fucking clue
what we were doing.
And that's because we're human.
We're just trying to do our best,
while juggling these protocols
and assignments and assessments
and bad press,
with the constant pressure
of all this bureaucratic bullshit
that makes each day harder.
So, I'm gonna dedicate this award
to all the medical staff
that are just trying to do
their best, even if, sometimes,
they're made to feel
like their best isn't good enough.
Whoo!
Well, that was subtle
Are we celebrating negligence now?
Apparently.
'Young Hearts Run Free'
by Candi Staton
Whoo!
Ramya.
Can I get you a drink?
I'm all right, thanks.
Um, actually, can you talk?
About what?
Lucinda.
OK.
But not here.
We have concerns about Lucinda's
behaviour and practice,
but we need your help
to find out more.
It would be useful for us
to have somebody like you,
who's already part of the team,
reporting back to us
on a regular basis.
Wait, sorry,
you want me to spy on Lucinda?
Well, you've been a really great
source of information so far.
So, then, don't you have
enough on her already?
I mean, surely
I told you she assaulted me.
I know, and that's helped us a lot.
Let me think about it.
As a doctor, Ramya,
you are duty-bound
to ensure patient
I said I'll think about it.
I've already risked a lot
telling you as much as I have.
Sorry about that.
Sorry to call you in early,
but the coroner's summons
has arrived for the Owusu inquest.
Can I just ask,
why is this going to an inquest?
Suicides and death from substance
misuse always go to the coroner.
Stick to the facts regarding
the treatment you gave Edith,
you'll be fine.
You mean the treatment I gave
under Lucinda's instruction.
Well, if you listened to my
instruction, you wouldn't be here.
Then you should have documented
your plan, but you didn't.
I was trying to save a boy's life.
There was no time.
You know as well as I do
that in medicine,
if it wasn't written down,
it didn't happen.
We want to avoid any of this
"you said, she said" business.
Mike is right. We do need to present
a united front on this, hm?
So, if that's all clear, you can go.
Crystal.
Good.
Ramya?
Yeah, it's clear.
Good, I'll see you later.
Check in with Beth and tell her I'm
gonna be a couple of minutes late.
Thank you, Ramya.
OK, so, who else has been summoned?
Me, Ramya
Which other doctors? You?
No, just her psychiatrist
and her GP.
Who's her GP?
Um
Dr Charlotte Peal.
You know her?
Um No.
No, I thought I did.
Yeah, I know,
but those are the symptoms,
so I'm not sure how else you want me
to put this.
Look, I'm just saying,
if Mary Johnson
doesn't get her scan, then
Yeah. No, that's fine. I'll redo
the request. Yeah, thank you.
Mary Johnson's in again?
I only discharged her two days ago.
Yep. No, she's back
with the same vague abdo pain,
and Radiology have refused
my request to scan her
unless my request is more specific.
Do you want me to write it?
Would you?
Come here.
Write down your login details,
and I'll get to it
once I've finished mine.
You are a life-saver.
You all right?
Mm-hm.
Sure?
Yeah, just need caffeine.
Don't we all?
See you in a bit.
Oh, Beattie, Beattie,
Beattie, Beattie.
It was the, um, horse statue
in City Square.
We were doing a politically-minded
fashion shoot, and
Mm-hm.
You are
You're shaking quite a lot.
Can you not do that?
That would really help me.
Do you think it'll scar?
Not if you stop moving.
Do you know what?
How about I give you something
that's gonna help you calm down?
OK?
Mm-hm.
And then, I can
finish this later.
Thanks.
Can you fetch me
four 10mg diazepam tablets
from the medical cupboard, please?
40mg?
You'll knock her out.
I'm sorry, but if you had someone
who was threading a needle
close to your eye,
how conscious would you like to be?
Yeah, point taken. OK.
Sorry, mate.
Excuse me. Hi, I wanna get
I need to get my phone fixed,
please.
My little girl dropped it,
and, erm,
when I try to turn it back on now,
the passcode's not being recognised.
Yeah, sure.
Just put your name and number down.
OK, on that, can you make sure
that none of the ph
the data, like, the photos
HE CONTINUES CHATTING
Excuse me, I need to keep
all the content on it.
Yeah, sure.
Look, just come tomorrow morning.
I'm sorry, mate.
Any chance I could just hang around
and you could just fix it now?
We're closing right now.
How long will it take? Ten minutes?
You know what?
If you wanna take it somewhere else,
you can do.
No, no, it's fine, it's fine.
Thank you.
Thank you for your help.

Yeah?
Yeah.
Hi, Eva.
I'm Dr Lucinda Edwards.
I was one of the doctors
that looked after your husband.
Oh, God, what's happened?
No, sorry, there's been no change.
OK.
I'm so sorry
I've dropped in on you like this.
Is it OK if I come in and talk?
Oh, yeah. Sorry, yes.
Come in.
Could you? Thank you.
Yeah, I'll get this for you.
Courtney, could you take

Thank you so much.
OK. Bye, gorgeous.
Sorry, can I take your coat?
No, it's fine.
OK. All righty.
So, it's two two boys
And a girl, yes.
Lovely.
Um
Sorry, I don't mean to be rude,
but A&E doctors don't routinely
visit their patients' homes.
No.
Rob was actually my supervisor
at medical school,
but we've been in contact
more recently for work.
Work? What work?
A few months ago, Rob contacted me
to help with some of his GP patients
that needed some A&E treatment.
Go on.
They were patients
that he was helping
with ongoing addiction problems
after they left treatment,
patients that he said he was
prescribing for at his GP practice.
He said he was flexible
with their prescribing
so that, you know,
they wouldn't buy street drugs.
Yeah, because he's a good doctor
and working in an inflexible system.
I thought that he was, you know,
giving them
a week's worth of methadone so they
didn't have to pick it up every day.
Yeah, well, Rob's good like that.
He'll do anything he can
to help keep his patients
on track to recovery.
One of Rob's patients
accidentally overdosed.
He called me and asked me to code
that overdose as deliberate,
a suicide attempt, so that nobody
would question his prescribing.
No way!
Rob would never ask you to do that.
OK, but he did, and now she's dead,
and the MIU is investigating me.
And if they're investigating me,
they will find out
about Rob's prescribing.
Look, whatever mistakes
you made in A&E,
that has nothing to do with Rob.
I've looked at her medical record,
and I can't find
Rob's name anywhere.
He wasn't her GP.
Yeah, well,
that's obviously a mistake.
Incorrect patient information
is uploaded all the time.
She's not the only one.
It's happened three times.
What are you trying to say?
Rob was prescribing for people
that weren't his patients,
and I was helping to cover it up
and didn't realise what I was doing.
I can't believe
My husband is lying in ITU,
nearly dead,
and you come here to my home,
and you say
all these things about him.
I don't know who the hell
you think you are!
Eva, I'm so sorry.
I'm not trying to upset you.
This whole situation is getting
out of control.
Oh, so, you just thought
you'd blame it all on Rob.
No, I just wanna warn you that Rob
could be in as much trouble as I am.
Look, don't implicate my husband
in whatever mess you're in.
I would like you to leave.
Now! Get out of my house!
Get out!
I'm sorry, Eva. I'm sorry.
Medical or trauma?
'Hi, I've got
a severe opioid overdose.
'27-year-old male,
ETA seven minutes.'
This is Milo Hanbury,
27, accidental opioid overdose.
Ramya, naloxone is competing
with an opioid for the receptors,
but its half-life is short,
which means if a patient took
a lot of opiates,
the effects will continue
once the naloxone wears off.
Respiratory rate is returning
to normal.
GCS is improving.
OK, so, this immediate improvement
will last around 20 to 30 minutes,
sometimes longer, sometimes shorter,
so that is why it is so important
to watch and wait
and make sure that the patient's
breathing rate remains stable.
Er, Lucinda, it's dropping again.
Can I get another dose
of naloxone, please?
Shit, his cannula's tissued.
He's not breathing properly.
The naloxone is working,
it's just being blocked rapidly,
which means the patient has either
taken a drug that is competing
with the binding site,
or he's taken a long-acting
high-strength opioid.
Can you just move out of here?
Excuse me, Milo.
Milo, can you hear me, love?
Milo?
Shall I call Dr Harris?
No, we just have to get a line in
and run a naloxone infusion.
I can't get another line in.
OK, let me do it, will you?
OK, his veins are fucked.
OK, I need to get a central line
in his neck fast.
Lucinda, his respiratory rate
Shouldn't we intubate him
before he crashes?
No, cos I need to get a line in.
I know what I'm doing.
Can we prep his neck, please?
So, you're gonna go in blind?
We've got an ultrasound machine.
He doesn't have any fucking time,
does he?
This is bollocks.
I'm getting Dr Harris.
Scalpel.
Gauze. Quick, quick. Thank you.
Central line.
You're in.
Right, run that. Go.
Right, what rate and what dose?
Thank you, Alison.
OK, as soon as Oscar confirms
it's venous,
run the dose
at 720 micrograms per hour.
It is venous.
What's going on here?
The patient wasn't responding well
to a naloxone bolus,
so we did an infusion.
And it's working great.
You see?
You didn't need me after all.
Mrs Hanbury, Milo took
a large amount of opiate drugs,
and I'm afraid that all signs point
to him being a regular drug user.
No, he swore to me he's clean now.
The clinic cured him.
Excuse me, what clinic?
The Guelder Clinic.
Do you know the name of the doctor?
No, I don't know.
Oh, God.
I knew it was too good to be true.
Hey.
Oh, hi. Um
Thanks for meeting with me.
That's all right.
Er, so, I thought
about what you said at the awards.
OK.
And I'll help you.
The way Ramya described it,
Lucinda's behaviour
with Milo Hanbury
was strangely similar
to when she treated Edith.
She insisted
on treating him herself.
Do you think someone tipped her off
about Milo as well as Edith?
It's a serious possibility.
Right.
Let's get the admission dates
and times
of any opioid overdose patients
that Lucinda treated this year,
and let's cross-reference them
with her phone records.
Did she receive calls
shortly before any other overdoses
came in from our mystery caller?
Yeah.
George, and if so, do those numbers
match the 999 calls?
It'll take a few days.
It'll take as long as it takes,
isn't it?
If there's any connection
between these overdoses and Lucinda,
we're gonna find it.
Well, you're gonna find it.
There you go.
That's £15 altogether.
Cash.
Thank you.
Thank you.
'Rob, I need you
to call me back ASAP.
'They need to know
if you've dealt with her.
'If this goes any further,
then, trust me,
'you'll be the one going down
with her,
'so don't waste any time,
and sort it out.'
