Post by bunniefuu »

Help him! I can't help him,
you've got a g*n in my face.

You're the one
who saved my life?

You look better than
last time I saw you.

Looking forward to going home?

Erm, I feel safer
here, to be honest.

Mrs Hanbury, Milo took a
large amount of opioid drugs,

and I'm afraid that all signs point
to him being a regular drug user.

Were you prescribing
Edith Owusu fentanyl?

No, I didn't... I
didn't write this.

Someone must have planted
that there to frame me.

I know you've been
working for Jubair,

prescribing for drug addicts.

I need you to help me out
here. Please, just help me.

Camilla?

Fentanyl, 50 patches.
Enough for a month.

How do you, er, pay Rob? Do
you pay him here or later?

I pay the pharmacy.

The next issue is
Dr Lucinda Edwards.

So, what are you
suggesting we do?

Lucinda is not a
trainee in difficulty,

she's a liability.

I am no longer confident that you're
fit to practise medicine safely.

Therefore we are suspending
you with immediate effect

while we continue
our investigation.

No! No, no, you can't do
that. You can't suspend me.

George. George, look at me,
come on. You'll receive a letter

with the date of your tribunal
hearing in due course.

What the hell do you
think you're doing?

I wanna work for
you in Rob's place.

OK.

So, tell me how it works.

PHONE VIBRATES

PHONE VIBRATES

Lucinda, hi.

SOFTLY: Oh, sh*t.

Hi. Hey, er, come in.

Sorry, it's just
a bit of a mess.

MUTTERS: Just let me
move that out of the way.

Luce, what is this about?

Just, please, can you
just sit down? Sorry.

Yeah, all right. Talk, please.

Well?

We used to be friends, right?

I mean, yeah, but...

what does that have
to do with anything?

George, you know me.

I'm gonna do everything
to clear my name.

But I need your help to do it.

Nah, you know what? I
shouldn't have come.

No, but you did.

I think that's because you have
doubts about the case against me.

There's... There's still a lot
about this that doesn't make sense.

That is why I want
you to listen to this.

KNOCKING Come in.

Thanks.

I've just had an update
from the hospital.

Lucinda's here.

What for?

I really think you need to
hear what she has to say.

PHONE RECORDING: 'So,
how does this work?'

'We'll get you a phone.'

'OK, so clients can
contact me that way?'

'Yeah, arrange to meet them, then
write them a prescription out.

'They'll take it to one of
our pharmacies to fill in.'

'How do I get paid?'

'Cash. End of the month.'

Erm, am I to understand
from this recording

that you've been writing ill*gal
prescriptions for this man?

No. You need to understand
that Jubair Singh

is using his pharmacy chain

to illegally sell drugs
to vulnerable addicts.

That's a very
serious accusation.

I mean, the person on that
recording could be anyone.

Then go to Eva. Ask
her about Jubair.

We can't do that
right now. Why not?

Erm...

I'm sorry to be the one to
have to tell you this, but...

..er, Rob Thornbury
died last night.

I'm sorry. Oh, my God.

Jesus.

Lucinda, do you need...?
Do you need a minute?

If Rob's dead, then this is...

why it is so important that
you investigate Jubair.

Well, we can take it from here.

But you mustn't do anything to
compromise yourself further.

Jubair can't know that
I was talking to you.

Like I said, leave it to us.

And what about my
tribunal hearing?

That's still going
ahead as planned.

I'm sorry about Rob. I
know he was your friend.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Hey, hey, hey.

SOBS It's my fault.

Oh, no, no, no. It's not your
fault. It's not your fault.

No, no, it was my fault.
I was there when Rob...

when Rob had his accident.

What do you mean?

It was the morning... It was the
morning of my second interview,

and I was gonna
tell you the truth.

We started arguing, and then...

..he grabbed me, and he
put... put his hands on me.

WHISPERS: And I was just trying
to get him off me, and then...

and then this car
came out of nowhere.

SHE SOBS Shh, shh, shh.

Have you told this
to anyone else?

OK, OK. No, no,
you're the only one.

SHE SOBS

I wish I told you sooner,
but I didn't know how.

It's all right, it's all right.

SHE BREATHES RAPIDLY
Breathe, breathe.

I need to tell Eva.

What? No, no. That
won't help anything.

No, I know. She deserves to
know the truth. This is...

No, no, Lucinda, listen.
Listen. It was an accident, OK?

Telling her won't do
any good. You know that.

Hi, Lucinda.

I just heard about Rob.

I'm really sorry, Eva.

Can I come in?

I don't think we have
anything to say to each other.

I know this isn't a good time.

But it's important.

OK.

They know about
Rob's prescribing.

And they're looking at
Wellspring Pharmacies.

And soon, they're gonna know
that you were involved, too, Eva.

I think it's gonna be better
if you go to them first.

What, better for me
or better for you?

Just tell them that
Jubair is behind all this.

I can't.

Look, Rob and I, we're
just a tiny part of this.

And... Jubair made it very
clear that we were expendable.

Expendable how?
EVA EXHALES DEEPLY

Did you know Rob's
brother was an addict?

No. No, I-I-I knew he was dead,
but I didn't know he was an addict.

Yeah, well...

he struggled with daily
methadone pick-ups.

He kept going back to heroin.

It was impossible.

Sometimes, Rob
prescribed him opioids

to stop him buying
drugs off the streets.

It made Rob more flexible with
his prescribing for addicts.

And Jubair noticed.

He offered him money to prescribe
flexibly for some wealthy customers.

You know, it was
just a few at first.

Well, what about
the Guelder Clinic?

Well, those were the kind of
customers that Jubair wanted.

You know, people
who could afford it.

And they were gonna
buy drugs anyway,

and the ones they got
from Rob were safer.

But those people went
to you to get off drugs.

Oh, don't be so naive.

Addiction treatment in this country,
I mean, it's just a revolving door.

You know, I can count
the amount of people

I've actually cured on one hand.

People do recover.
Lucinda, please.

Look how well you're doing.

Look, Rob's
intentions... were good.

He... He talked each patient through
safer dosing, he gave them naloxone.

So, if he was being so
careful with his prescribing,

why were people
still overdosing?

Oh, they weren't.
Lucinda, they weren't.

At first, you know,
then something changed.

And Rob noticed, and
he was worried, but...

But... But what? What changed?
What was it? What did he say?

The overdoses didn't make any sense,
and so Rob raised it with Jubair.

But he, erm...

He threatened him, and he
said he had to keep going

and he had to make sure that
it didn't look suspicious.

And that's when
he brought you in.

So, why didn't he
just stop? EVA SIGHS

This whole thing goes a lot
further than just Jubair.

They wouldn't let him stop.

They're never gonna
let you just stop.

PHONE VIBRATES

'Oscar, hi.'

Can you hear me? Hello.

Hi. 'Listen.'

I'm sorry that I kicked off at
you. OK, you didn't deserve that,

I-I... I know

'you were only just
trying to help. I get it.'

No, I-I... I'm sorry as well.

OK, like, I-I... I wanted
to call you cos I just...

I didn't want it to end
up like that, but, erm...

Yeah, what's up?

Do you remember that overdose
patient that we treated

'a few weeks ago? Milo Hanbury?'

Er, vaguely, yeah.

Right, I need to get
in touch with him.

'Er, well, '

I can't just give you
patient information,

'you know that, right?'
All right, please, Oscar,

I need to speak to him about
drugs that he took, right,

there's some stuff
that doesn't add up.

Please, Oscar, come on.

Jesus Christ, can you
just help me out on this?

I just don't want anyone
to die like Edith did.

'Oscar! Oscar, do you
understand what I'm saying?'

Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
yeah, yeah. Yeah, it's fine.

Erm, erm, just give
me a few minutes

and I'll... I'll call
you back, all right?

Thanks. OK, thanks very much.

George.

Yeah?

So, the, er, Wellspring Pharmacy

are being audited by the
GPhC tomorrow morning.

That's happening fast.

Well, we've raised some
pretty serious concerns.

How are your preparations
coming along for Lucinda's...?

Fine, fine... Fine, erm...

I think we should have told
Lucinda that we were having

Wellspring Pharmacies
investigated.

And what if she'd
chosen to warn Jubair?

SCOFFS

You still think she's
involved in this?

That audio recording doesn't
prove anything definitively.

It doesn't. I mean,
as far as we know,

she might've been working
with Jubair all along.

We just don't know yet.

We don't know yet.

Hi, Milo, it's, er,
Doctor Lucinda Edwards,

I treated you in A&E.

'Er, can we do
this another time?

'I've just woken up.'

Er, not really, no.
It's quite urgent.

DOOR BUZZES

Er, but why are you here?

I-I-I don't remember
you from the hospital.

No, you wouldn't,

you were pretty out of
it when I treated you.

Milo, do you remember the
drugs that you overdosed on?

Look, I'm... I'm not
here to judge, OK.

OK, I...

I cooked a bit of fentanyl.

Where'd you get it from?
I've got a prescription.

From... what pharmacy?

Wellspring Pharmacy.

Milo, why do you
think you overdosed?

Did you... use more than usual?

I cut the same amount.

And you didn't
take anything else?

I didn't need to.

It knocked me out pretty fast.

What did you do with
the leftover patches?

I chucked them.

Listen.

I understand addiction. And
I know that there is no way

that you would have
chucked out those patches,

even if they did
nearly k*ll you.

I just wanna see the packaging.

Milo, I think there's something
really wrong with those drugs,

and I just wanna make sure that
nobody overdoses like you did.

OK, I'll go get 'em.

'Hello, distribution
department, how can I help?'

I'm ringing about a
batch of fentanyl patches

that you supplied to
Wellspring Pharmacies.

'Er, Wellspring Pharmacies...

'OK, I can have a look. Do
you have a batch number?'

Er, yeah, the batch
number is 3W0042.

'OK, one second.'

I'm worried there's something
wrong with the batch.

Luce?

PHONE RINGS

'Sorry, the person
you are calling...'

MUTTERS: God's sake.

'Hey, what's the emergency?'

OK, I've just been to
Milo Hanbury's house,

where he gave me these. This
is what he overdosed on.

Fentanyl?

Yeah, just like Edith, but he
bought this from a pharmacy.

No, no, no, you can't buy fentanyl
over a counter at a pharmacy.

I know, yes, but I've found out
that there is local pharmacies

that are selling
drugs to addicts.

They're using doctors
to legally prescribe

so that everything looks
like it's above board.

No, no, no, no, no,
that's... That's insane.

Yeah, I know, but then
I rang the manufacturer

of this fentanyl, right?
And they said that this,

this batch, it was sent at
this hospital, not a pharmacy.

They confirmed it was
recalled for being too strong.

Does your audit include a
record of recalled drugs?

Yeah. Can I...? Can
I see it? Can I...?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Um, take this, take this,

take this for me.
It's, er... three...

Hang on, hang on, hang on, um...

OK, yep, give me
the batch number.

3W0042.

Yeah, it's here.

What happens to the waste
disposal drugs at this hospital?

Well, um, th...
Er, there's, he...

There's a charity called,
er, Developing Aid,

and they take the
drugs and test them

and send the good ones
to developing countries.

Who's over that?

Dr Willett, I need
to talk to you.

You shouldn't even be
on hospital premises.

The drugs that
k*lled Edith Owusu,

I think they came
from this hospital.

That's enough.
You need to leave.

No, you need to listen to me!

I'm calling security.
Don't call security!

I'll try and talk
some sense into her.

Yeah, please do, cos she is
not listening to me at all.

There is hospital waste drugs

that are being diverted
and sold to drug addicts.

Lucinda... That is
utterly ridiculous.

How dare you barge in here
casting wild aspersions?

Lucinda, there is
a time and a place.

Yes, thank you, Leo. The
security are on their way.

Listen to me, Leo, he
can put a stop to this.

I should've fired you weeks ago!

But you didn't cos you don't
have a f*ck' pair of ba*ls!

You both have to calm down,
just take a breath, huh?

Look, your protege here has
completely lost the plot.

Could you just call security
back, please? Stand them down.

I'm not calling them back,
look at the state of her.

Why aren't you listening to me?

What I'm telling you
is the f*cking truth!

If those waste drugs
were not sold on,

Edith Owusu would not have died.

She should not have died.

It all comes back to the drugs.

Right, they are the
root of all of this.

You are completely delusional.

WHISPERS: Oh, wow...

WHISPERS: f*ck!

Why are you SO determined
not to believe me?

I'm sorry?

Have you got something
to do with this?

Oh, for God's sake, Lucinda.

You are accusing me?

The reason I don't
believe you, Lucinda,

is because you
are a drug addict!

You are a drug addict, and
you are single-handedly

ruining my hospital's
reputation!

Your... Your disastrous
turn at the inquest,

your daughter's drug overdose!

Your colleague over
there was so worried

about you stealing drugs that
he reported you to the MIU.

And if I have any
say in the matter,

you will never work
in any hospital again.

Now, come on, Mike, that's
not fair. DOOR OPENS

Right, I want her
off the premises.

Come on, come with us.

Come down to my
office. Come with us!

Get off me. Get
off! Now, please.

Hey! Hey! You f*cking
jobsworth, piss off!

Just calm! Calm!

Right, I trust you won't be

defending her again
after that spectacle.

Jesus Christ.

Unbelievable.

All right, come on.

I'm sorry.

slow down. What...?

'I need you. Hey,
Lizzie, stay with me.'

Jesus Christ. 'Stay with me'.

Er, you need to call
the ambulance. Yeah.

'Oh, God, she's overdosed on the
drugs that you prescribed me.

'That's why I called you.
You've gotta help me, please!

'Can you get here?

'Oh God, she's not breathing!' I'll
be there as quick as I can, OK?

'Lizzie, stay with me.'

Can you...? Can you, er...?
She's staying conscious, yeah?

'I don't know what to do, I
can't call the ambulance.'

Send me the address.

Hi, she OK?

Where is she?

She's upstairs. OK.

What the hell's going on?

Jubair, what's going on?

No, no, no, no! SHE SCREAMS

Get her top off.

We warned you not
to say anything.

MUFFLED: Please!
Please! SHE SCREAMS

Pick her up, pick her up.

Listen, I want
everything spotless.

It needs to look like she
did this herself, yeah?

Come on, get a

TYRES SCREECH

Right, did you get Lucinda's
drug screen results back?

They haven't arrived
yet. Well, call the lab.

They need to turn the
results around a bit faster.

It's not the lab.

Lucinda hasn't done
the drug screen yet.

KNOCKING Come in.

Hiya, sorry to interrupt.

Er, Eva Tait's here to see you.

What, she's here now? Yeah.

Er, do you wanna
pop in? Thank you.

OK, I'll leave you to it.

PARAMEDIC: It's OK.

SIRENS BLARE

MUFFLED SPEECH

DOORS BANG OPEN

Coming through. Out
the way, please!

Coming through, please!
Someone's coming in now, come on!

Got a young female, no ID.

Found unconscious after
taking an opioid overdose.

We've given her two
milligrams of naloxone.

She's not responding well.

Guy, guys, it's Lucinda.

Oh, Jesus.

Lucinda, what have
you done, darling?

RAMYA: Oh, my God.

Oh, God.

OK, her respiratory
rate is dropping.

OK, uh, give her 800
micrograms of, uh, naloxone IV.

Uh, no. I think if
she's not responding,

we need to set up an
infusion. Ramya's right.

Let's get a wide bore in.
She's got good veins, right?

Yeah, yeah. Erm, what rate
do you wanna run at, Oscar?

Oscar! What rate?

I don't think I can do it.
I don't think I can do this.

Can someone take over? I'll
go and get Dr Harris, OK?

Jesus. Ramya? Ramya?

OK. Right, OK, so she's already
had two milligrams of naloxone...

Excuse me, please.

..so 60% of that is...

OK, run it at 1.2
milligrams per hour.

Are you sure? Yes, I'm sure!

Jesus Christ, Lucinda. Will
somebody phone Tom, please?

His number'll be in
her notes somewhere.

OK, she's gone into
respiratory arrest!

Oh, Jesus!

She's still got a pulse. We
need to get her breathing,

otherwise she's gonna
go into cardiac arrest.

OK, er, you need to
secure an airway.

Yeah, I'm on it. Can
I get an OPA, please?

Oh, God.

Come on, Lucinda!
Come on, darling!

Come on!

Er, guys, um, I've
called Dr Harris,

but he's not answering
and I can't find him.

Just get another A&E
consultant, then, Oscar, now!

MACHINES BLEEPING

Oh, sh*t, she's
having a seizure.

All right, sweetheart.

Lucinda, it's OK. Open your
mouth, open your mouth.

OK, come on, darling.

OK, we need to give her
diazepam. No, wait. No.

You can't do that, she's
addicted to benzos.

It doesn't matter. If we don't
stop the seizure, she'll die!

Give her the drug.
Give it to her!

Well, if we lose her, I don't...

SOBBING: OK, sweetheart.

All right.

There you go. There you go.

Come on, Lu. Come on.

What's happening? It's OK.
Can you take over, please?

We need to get the
naloxone infusion in.

OK. You got it?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. OK.

Um, I could only find Dr Willett.
I just heard, what's happening?

Erm, she's taken
an opioid overdose.

Oh, Jesus Christ.

The paramedics said she
locked herself in the room

before she took
the overdose, so...

Oh.

Um, thank you.

What? What's wrong?

Lucinda...

She took a massive
overdose yesterday.

God. f*ck!

Did we push her too much?

EXHALES HEAVILY

MACHINE BLEEPING

KNOCK ON DOOR

Come in.

Ah, thanks for coming
to see me so quickly.

Yeah. Of course.

How you feeling?

No worse than usual. CHUCKLES

You could've died.

We spoke to Ramya and
Oscar this morning.

Oscar said...

..he didn't think that
this was a suicide attempt.

No, it wasn't. I...

I did not try to k*ll myself.

OK, there was... It was
Jubair and two men...

that I've never seen before.

Hm.

Oscar also told us...

what you found out about
the hospital waste drugs.

Do you think that's
connected to this?

Yes, I do.

Have you spoken to anyone
else about the waste drugs?

Mike Willett.

He was very defensive
when I asked him about it.

Well... we'll need to talk to
Mike. And the police as well.

You believe me?

Eva Tait came to talk to us.

She confirmed everything
that you said.

She told us about Jubair.

It sounds like there's
a bigger network.

She also admitted to
planting the prescription

in Edith's flat, so...

..yes, I believe you.

I want to help.

And I need to make this right.

GEORGE: Look at this
audit data from the RH.

Now, at first glance, it
looks completely normal.

But...

if you compare it with
Oscar Beattie's data,

you can see clearly
it's been manipulated.

For the past five years, the RH
has increasingly over-ordered drugs

and then put loads of 'em into
waste when they go unused.

And then the waste drugs go to the
charity that Lucinda mentioned.

Developing Aid. What
do we know about them?

Right. Developing Aid...

Developing Aid.

Er...

INDISTINCT CHATTER

Thanks very much for
taking the time to see us.

Of course. Whatever
I can do to help.

Some serious concerns
have been raised

about a Royal Hospital doctor.

Yeah. Yeah, I mean,
we're all, er...

We're all very concerned
about Lucinda. I hope, er...

I hope you prioritise her
getting the help she needs.

Mm.

This isn't about Dr Edwards.

Oh.

You're not taking
Lucinda's complaints

against Mike seriously, are you?

Because her accusations
are entirely fabricated.

We don't disagree.

You been to Ghana? Er...

Yeah, several years ago. Why?

Well, Lucinda did
mention that, actually.

What did you get
up to out there?

Well, unsurprisingly,
I was, er...

I was working in a hospital.

What do you know
about Developing Aid?

Erm, probably as much as you do.

Oh, you know, they are a charity

that collects waste
medication from here

and sends it to developing
countries for use over there.

Developing Aid was originally set
up by four British A&E doctors.

You were one of
those four doctors.

Prior to that, you did
an audit, didn't you?

Demonstrating how much
useable medication

was being destroyed as waste.

As a group, you persuaded
your respective hospitals

to let you take some of that
waste medication to Ghana.

Medication worth
millions of pounds,

put to good use
rather than destroyed.

The success of this
gave you an idea,

and the following year,
you founded Developing Aid.

It's a really good idea.

Yeah, it is, but...

Erm, I wish I could
take credit for it,

but I-I don't see my name
anywhere on this screen, so...

Right, and why did you decide to
legally hide your trustee status?

Right, OK, so you've
clearly done your research.

Mm. Er...

Yes, I started a
charity to help others.

And excuse me if I...

chose to keep my name
out of the public domain.

Cos you're a shy white saviour.

Erm... Sorry?

Let me cut to the chase.

How long have you been
profiting from the ill*gal sale

of hospital waste drugs
to wealthy addicts?

I'm sorry, I beg your
pardon? Sorry, is that a...?

That's a joke, right?

We've got evidence that
Developing Aid are diverting drugs

for ill*gal resale via the
Wellspring Pharmacy chain.

Er, but, you know, I...

Although...

Although I'm a trustee,

I have nothing to do with
the day-to-day running.

Mike Willett said it
was your suggestion

to switch to Developing Aid
for drug waste collection.

Was Developing Aid ever
a charitable endeavour?

Or did you always
intend it to be a front

for the ill*gal diversion
of controlled drugs?

Er... Um, um... Sorry, I'm...

I'm a little bit confused here.
Unless I'm missing something,

the only thing that we've
actually established here

is that I helped start
up a charity, right?

Then why have you been
manipulating pharmacy audit data?

You've been the Trust's
Clinical Audit Lead

since Developing Aid took
over the drug waste contract.

Yes... And you've got
specific responsibility,

haven't you, for auditing
pharmaceutical stock?

Yes, and I...

I share that audit with Mike,

who signs it off with
the rest of the board.

Right.

But your audit data...

..reads like pure fiction.

For years,

you've caused the Royal
Hospital to over-order drugs,

then hidden the extent of
the hospital's drug waste.

Oh, I see... Oh,
that's what this...

All right, so I...

I may have submitted some
less than accurate audit data,

but next time, I-I will be
a lot more conscientious.

Look, you may have started
off with good intentions,

but somewhere along the
way, greed took over.

Oh, oh... Look, this
is... This is all...

It's all really interesting,
but everything you're saying

is actually based on
complete supposition.

I have nothing to do -

and have never had
anything to do -

with ill*gal drug sales.

You knew exactly what
Developing Aid was doing.

Look, I have answered
all of your questions

to the best of my ability.

If you have any queries with
real hard evidence behind them,

then please make an appointment.

And my representative
will be with me next time,

as is appropriate, Norma.

If you feel you need representation,
that's absolutely fine.

Let's do that. Thank
you. Until then...

I think we're done, aren't we?

Oh, erm...

The police want to speak to you

about regular payments
you've been receiving

into an offshore account.

I'm sure it has nothing
to do with this,

but I just thought I'd
give you a heads up.

HE SIGHS

HE GROANS

Theresa's looking for you.
Can't get through that door.

POLICE OFFICER:
Doctor Leo Harris,

I'm arresting you on
suspicion of charity fraud,

NHS fraud and profiting from
the sale of ill*gal drugs.

You do not have to say anything,

but it may harm your defence

if you do not mention
when questioned

something which you
later rely on in court.

Is it true?

Leo, is it true?

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

Whoa! You know they
tried to k*ll me!

Get back.

Is that what you wanted?!

You not gonna say anything?

IGNITION

Yeah.

Yeah, it's done, I'm just clearing
out the last bits and pieces.

DOORBELL RINGS

Doctor Eva Tait?

DI Derian, Yorkshire Police.

Yeah, nothing here can
connect them to you.

MAN CLEARS THROAT All
right, hang on a sec.

Er, hi. Package
for Jubair Singh?

Oh, yeah. Thanks.

THUD

MAN GRUNTS

Hurry up! Get in!

Good job, lad.

Ramya?

Hi.

Hi. Do you have a minute?

Er... Yeah.

How are you?

Yeah. Yeah, I'm...
I'm fine, thanks.

How are you? How's...?
How's Tom and Abi?

I haven't seen them in a while.

I've got my
tribunal later. Oh.

Right, well...

Er, good luck
with it. Listen...

No matter what the
panel decides...

..I wanna thank you.

Right? You saved my life.

Oh, I mean, it was...
It was nothing.

I was just doing
my job, you know.

See one, do one, teach
one, and all of that.

You're gonna be a
really good doctor.

Take care of yourself.

Lucinda. Yes.

Right. This way. OK.

How are you? Oh, good, yeah.

Erm, actually, can I just...

have a quick word
before we go down?

Sure. So, we've been...

compiling a list of doctors who
wrote prescriptions for Jubair.

Uh-huh.

You're on that list.

Then I've completely
f*cked myself.

It was once. OK?

I needed to work out
what Rob was doing.

Well, no, if... if you can
admit to the tribunal that...

that you have a diazepam addiction,
I'll give a statement to the police

explaining why you
wrote that prescription.

I can do that.

But I'll be struck off?
Well, not necessarily.

But you have to agree
to undergo treatment.

Look... Trust me.

This is the best course
of action for you.

SHE BREATHES DEEPLY

KNOCK AT DOOR

What are you doing here?

I wanted to be here.

Is everything OK?

No. No, they
want... They, erm...

They want me to go in and say
that I have a drug problem.

And if I do, they're
gonna offer me...

treatment. What's
the alternative?

Going in there and telling
them everything's fine?

I can't lose my job,
Tom. Jesus Christ.

Being a doctor is the only
thing that I know how to do.

What about being a mum?

Or a wife? No. You
know what I mean.

Listen.

You've got to admit
that there's a problem.

Cos if you don't, you're gonna
lose more than just your job.

You're gonna lose Abi.

And me. I know.

Jesus, Tom, you and Abi are the only
good things that are in my life.

Without you, what is the point?
Then stop taking diazepam.

I can't! Why? Why not?

Why? I don't know.

I can't... It's hard to explain.

Well, make me understand.

I'm here.

I want to understand.

OK?

They help me do my job.

How?

I don't... They-they...

They help me cope.

I do a job where I'm expected...

..to help people in the
worst moments of their life.

OK? And everyone relies
on me to be this...

strong one, who's
gonna fix everything

and tell them that
it's gonna be OK.

And the diazepam,
that helps me do that.

That's no use, I mean, is that
supposed to be a good thing?

It helps me get through a shift
without having a f*cking breakdown.

Simple as that.

WHISPERING: OK.

BELL TOLLS

I didn't realise
it was that hard.

But listen, it's...

It's more than just
coping, isn't it?

Because you're taking diazepam
at home as well, aren't you?

And... that's more than coping.

So...

You've become addicted.

Tom, I can't do this
now. I can't do this.

Please don't do this.
When can you do it?

Please don't do this now.
I have to go in... Listen.

This is the time. ..and I
have to explain to them why.

Listen, this is the
time. This is the time.

Right? You've got a choice now.

You can either carry on
doing what you're doing,

and nothing'll change...

or you can go in there,
tell them the truth,

and get help.

WHISPERING: I'm so scared.

I'm scared that I'm gonna...

I'm scared I'm not gonna
be the same without them.

It's OK to be scared.

WHISPERING: It's OK.

All right?

WHISPERING: I'm so sorry.

I need help, Tom.

SHE GASPS

I need help.

I'm so sorry, I can't
do this by myself.

SHE SOBS I'm not OK.

You won't need to do this
by yourself. I'm not OK.

It's OK. You won't need
to do this by yourself.

SHE INHALES SHARPLY

I'm so sorry.

I need help.

I'll be waiting.
