Doc Martin (2004–…): Season 8, Episode 1 - Mysterious Ways - full transcript

Oh!

Out of my way!

What's the matter with you people?

Out of my way!

Right, out of the way.

Oh, my God. Has anyone
called an ambulance?

On its way, Doc. Sorry
to get you out so early.

I'll give you a nerve block.
This will have to be dismantled.

No, Doc, you can't do that,
it's my brother's boat.

He needs the winch for
this morning's fishing.

Your fingers are lodged in
there, you could lose your hand.



- I could reverse the machinery.
- Don't touch anything.

Probably not that complicated.

I don't need a shot.

It's a local anaesthetic,

injected around the
nerve below your wrist.

It'll numb your fingers.

Hold very still. I don't want to pierce...

- .. your ulnar artery.
- Argh!

- Don't touch anything!
- Sorry. Sorry. My bad.

Imbecile!

Doc, is this a bad time
to ask you a question?

- Yes.
- Thought so.

No, no, we made it clear

that you had to give us one
month's notice, Janice.



Sorry, I thought it'd be obvious

I wouldn't be working after tomorrow.

- You know, because of this.
- But I'm married and I work.

Yeah. I know.

It's just a very busy
period for me, Janice.

We've got parents' evening,

and now I need to find
alternative childcare for James.

Mel's opened that nursery. Heard
the places are going fast.

Might be good for him, get
him used to socialising,

being around folk, so he
doesn't end up like, erm...

- Like who?
- Hello.

Doc, just one second.

Joe, you can't be here! It's bad luck.

That doesn't count until tomorrow.

- Where are you going?
- I'm not taking any risks.

I'll wait outside till Joe's gone.

How was the emergency?

Some stupid fisherman
caught his hand in a winch.

Don't worry. Me and the
Doc had it covered.

The old Dynamic Duo.

So, you'll be coming to the
pre-wedding party this evening?

Yeah, maybe.

Martin, can you switch
James into the buggy?

I need to grab those staff appraisal forms

and get off to work before I'm late.

So, Doc, what I was talking about.

- Arms up.
- It's Al.

He's just not cutting it as best man.

I mean, he's good, but good isn't enough.

I thought, you know, return the favour?

Erm... no.

What's the matter with you?

Just been working out at the gym.

Getting in shape for the wedding.

Dug.

Oh. It took me half the
night to get these done.

- How much sleep did you get?
- No, I'm fine.

It's just the workload's
been a bit tough recently.

- Don't worry.
- At least this one's settled.

Fast learner, too.

You never mentioned he
was talking already.

What? He spoke?

Er... yes, I think he
did just say something.

No, no. I can't believe
I missed his first word.

What did he say?

I'm not sure. It sounded
like, er..."duck".

Sounded more like "dog" to me.

James, tell Mummy. What did you say?

Was it "dog" or was it "duck"?

James?

Dad.

- Oh, morning, boy.
- What are you doing so early?

Well, I could ask you the same thing.

Hm. So, are we gonna do
that thing where I ask you

what you're hiding in the shed

or are you just gonna
go ahead and show me?

- That is a lot of whisky.
- Yes. Yes.

You told Ruth that sales had been good.

I massaged the truth.

It inspires confidence in the investors.

I had a deal with a restaurant in Bridge.

20 bottles. It felt like
the start of something big.

It made sense to be prepared.

And judging by the look
of things, nobody...

nobody else has placed an order.

It's the economy.

Restaurateurs are too
scared to take a gamble

on an unknown brand.

I know I can turn it round.

But I just need you to do me a favour.

Don't tell Ruth, right?

I mean, have a little faith in me.

Oh.

Thanks for dropping it off here, Mike.

Thank you.

- Fingers crossed, eh?
- Let's hope so. Bye.

Oh.

Hello.

Sorry. Erm... short notice,
but I was wondering

if the Doctor had any appointments today.

Well, we've just had a cancellation.

- So if you're free now?
- Oh, yes.

Wonderful. The name's Rosie Edwards.

I'm not registered here yet.

It won't be a problem.

If you could just fill
out one of these forms.

So have you just moved
to the village, then?

Yeah. Half my stuff's still in storage.

I've not even had time to unpack
and it's straight to work.

You working with Rev Moore, then?

Er... no, instead of him.

So I got back from my holiday yesterday

and there are these
messages saying he's gone off

on some spiritual retreat and
I've got to fill in ASAP.

It's been a rush and a push, it has.

So, are you doing the
wedding tomorrow, then?

Yeah. It's my first one ever.

Yeah, maybe don't mention
that to the groom.

He's a bit on edge as it is.

Well, I am qualified.

You've not met Joe Penhale.
Just trust me on this.

- Oh!
- Careful.

Your depth perception's
altered. You'll get used to it.

Next patient. Go through.

What's all this? Tidy this up.
It looks like a jumble sale.

Hello, love.

Er, so...

I was in Australia for a holiday
and I had a few problems.

I was told I'd need to check in
with a GP when I got back here.

You had a deep vein thrombosis.

Apparently from the plane ride over.

I was only meant to be
there for two weeks.

The whole thing was a complete disaster

for a number of reasons.

Sleeve.

Ended up closer to a month,

stuck in hospital, juggling all that

trying to work out when I'm
starting my curateship here.

Your blood pressure's high.

Yeah. Tell me something I don't know.

Actually, I didn't know that.

You've also been prescribed Warfarin.

I'll need to monitor your
blood while you're taking that.

- Are you practising?
- Yes, of course.

I'm a certified medical practitioner.

No, I mean the Buddha
statue you have over there.

Yeah, I understand.

I've heard it's one of
the most popular ornaments

to keep in the home.

I suppose that says a lot
about who we are these days,

religion as a statement of interior design

rather than faith or belief.

Stop talking.

The er... doctor in Australia

said I'd need to be on
Warfarin for four months.

- That can't be right.
- No.

Well, that's a relief.

More like six. Your deep vein thrombosis

is caused by a blood clot
that's at risk of breaking loose

and travelling to your lungs,

causing a fatal pulmonary
embolism. It's very serious.

What are you doing?

Something to remind me to keep
calm and centred no matter what.

Back when I worked in the city,
I had a few problems before.

I had to learn some coping mechanism.

All right. Don't start doing it again.

And four bedrooms?

Well, if we could get you an attic.

- Anything's possible.
- Next patient?

Yeah. And the important question.

What sort of price range
would you be looking at?

Are you the patient?

Come through.

Can I... I'll have to call you back.

What time's a good time?

Erm... yeah, lovely. OK. Oh.

Here you go. Doctor's orders.

Oh. He's an odd one, isn't he?

He's got a strange idea of bedside manner.

The Doc is a very intelligent
and conscientious man.

We're blessed to have him. £8.60, please.

No, of course,

I... I didn't mean...

Oh, you've got, erm...

What? Oh, right.

Yeah. Matching collars.

Mine is for a genuine medical complaint.

No, of course. Sorry.

I'm the new curate.

I didn't realise we were getting a woman.

Thanks, then.

It's only his first word.
It's not a big deal, really.

I mean, yes, it's the moment
where you realise truly

that your child is their own person.

Miss. There's a worried
looking man in the playground.

- Where?
- Out of the way.

Be careful of the baby.
That's it. Careful. Careful.

- Stand clear.
- Martin. Is everything OK?

Yes, it's fine. It's Thursday.
We meet for lunch on Thursdays.

Sorry, I totally forgot,
I've just had so much on.

- It doesn't matter.
- It does.

I've been rota'd onto lunch duty today.

You'll have to go without me.

We'll do something later, though.

Yes, I can get some fish, if you like.

Actually, it's Joe and Janice's
pre-wedding party this evening

and I did sort of say we'd maybe go.

- Oh.
- You don't want to go, do you?

- I don't mind if you want to.
- I don't really.

Anyway, you hate those sorts of things.

They'll be disappointed if you don't go.

Right. So, sorry, now you
do want to go to a party?

I don't know. What do you want to do?

- Knew you'd start complaining.
- I'm not complaining.

- Joe expects us to be there.
- Right, so we are going?

- Yes, I...
- Good. I'll see you later.

I'll ring the babysitter. Bye.

And then I'll say,

"I therefore proclaim that
they are husband and wife"

and I'll join your hands.

Sorry, it's just you keeping saying "I",

but tomorrow, it'll be
a real vicar, right?

Well, no, it'll be me.

But you're not a real vicar.

I'm a curate.

Think of me as a vicar
with learner plates on.

But I thought we were getting a
proper person to do our wedding.

How many folks have you actually married?

Why don't we head over to the vestry

and talk about the two of you?

Because that's what
it's all about, isn't it?

So how long have you two been together?

- I'd say about seven.
- Eight.

Eight weeks.

Oh. So it's a...

it's a whirlwind romance, then?

It's a funny story.

We were out for fish and chips
one night and Joe just asked me.

I was waiting on my cod
and I said, "All right.

Why not?"

But you've discussed the future...

what marriage means to both of you,

whether you want children...

- No, thank you.
- As many as we can have.

I don't mean hundreds.

- Five or six.
- I work with children...

.. and it's screaming and crying

and stuff coming out of both ends.

It is healthy to have differences.

Can we have it put in the marriage vows

that we don't need to have children?

The important thing is that
you take this seriously.

Let marriage be held in honour among all.

Sorry, how many weddings
have you done before?

I'd rather we talk about you.

It is vital that you've
thought through this decision.

We've both been married before.

Once. Twice.

I'd say that's even more
reason that you need to be sure.

Do you have any references?

It's my first wedding, all right?

But I am very capable.

I can assure you of
that with all my heart.

Your nose is bleeding.

Hm?

Oh, sorry, er... it's er...

Ah.

Oh, dear, that's...

Oh it's just...

It's been a long week.

- So...
- Uh.

.. in your professional opinion,

me and Janice here, and be honest...

- Brutally honest.
- .. we've both had heartbreak...

and misfortune, so it's
really important to us.

Do you think we've got what it takes?

Very, very, very, very good.

Well done.

Dug.

I've finally got these staff
appraisal forms finished.

It's getting ridiculous, I
barely do any teaching nowadays,

it's all data analysis and record keeping.

- He spoke again, didn't he?
- Yes.

What did he say?

Erm... I think it was "duck". Maybe "dog".

That's twice I've missed it now.

- I'm sure it's not personal.
- I didn't think it was.

At least not until you mentioned it.

He's not even looking at me now.

He hasn't developed the cognitive capacity

to know when he's being discussed yet.

Do you think he likes me?

Who knows? I didn't like
my mother. Does it matter?

Of course it matters! And he's not you.

Well, I'm sure he's very fond of you.

Maybe you should think about
reducing your work load,

if it's causing you stress.

Thanks.

We should think about going.

Right! You lot, I want you in here now!

Start serving, Becky, and no
mucking about like last week.

I got my eye on you.

Right. Take a tray and
mingle. Go on, mingle.

Go on. Take a tray. Mingle.

Finished your best man speech yet?

Didn't have to. Joe decided
to write it himself.

It's 15 pages long plus footnotes.

Only one more day then you're free.

- Yeah.
- Vodka and Coke, thanks.

Really? Al?

Talk about low standards.

- Hm.
- This is whisky.

Straight whisky.

Dad. Dad!

Before you say something, Joe
is paying for all the alcohol,

but he hasn't been specific
about what alcohol.

Aside from our whisky, what
other drinks are available?

Please tell me there's at
least soft drinks, right?

Well, there's water. For the whisky.

You're unbelievable.

Al, why can't I get a
beer at my own party?

Yeah, it's just a mix up
with the supplier, mate.

You're best man. You're
supposed to be on top of things.

OK. Give me five or ten minutes
and I'll get it sorted, Joe.

It's a total disaster.

Oh, it's not that bad.

Morwenna, I'm a policeman,
I know this village,

these people, inside and out,
and I can tell you for a fact

that not one of them drinks whisky.

- Bert.
- Yes, my lover?

Same again, ta. Easy on the water.

Maybe he said "dog".

- It was impossible to tell.
- James is very fond of him.

Maybe we should think about,
I don't know, keeping him.

Him? What do you mean, the dog?

I know you didn't grow up with
pets, Martin, but I had a dog

when I was younger and I've got
a lot of good memories of it.

And he is always around.

So's Penhale but we
don't have to adopt him.

Oh.

How's your hand?

Oh, it's fine, there's
no need to check it, Doc.

Do you realise that
drinking strong alcohol

whilst on painkillers is not only stupid

- but incredibly dangerous?
- It's not my fault.

- They're only serving whisky.
- Don't be ridiculous.

Take responsibility for your own
health. Here, you, take that.

Get me a glass of water and
a small glass of white wine.

Two whiskies. No, a glass of water

and a small glass of white wine.

Just take the drink and
stop being so fussy, yeah?

You're coughing over
everything! Wash all those off!

If you're not well enough to
come to work you should go home.

Reverend Moore isn't taking the ceremony?

He's on a spiritual retreat.

Sorry.

It's just that's what he always says

when he wants to nip away
for a fishing holiday.

I thought everybody knew that.

I hold a very senior
position in this church,

and no one has informed
me of these events.

Well, don't worry, I know what I'm doing.

Wonderful, isn't it?

First they got to vote,
then they got to drive.

Now they can even marry people.

That's proper progress, Sal.

They're only serving whisky. Is
that something to do with you?

Hello to you, too, Martin.

I have no idea what you're talking about.

This whole thing seems to be
run by your business associates.

Testing, testing.

Oh, God.

- That's funny.
- Get on with it, you plonker!

That's not funny.

Janice and I would like
to thank you all...

.. for coming tonight...

Give me that.

Sit there. There's a chair there.

- .. to celebrate our...
- Sit down.

- Breathe calmly, calmly.
- .. big day...

.. to mark...

- Just keep it down.
- Calm down.

- Doc?
- I'm with a patient!

Doc, it's fine. They're
just clearing their throats,

playing silly buggers.

Pay attention to the speech now.

I'm having a bloody heart attack!

No, she's not. She's not
having a heart attack.

Calm down. Just breathe.

She's not having a heart attack.

Agh, agh, agh...

Just keep your eyes on me, people.

- Eyes on me, people.
- Get off!

Sit down. Open your mouth.

Doc, please...

Morwenna, we need to get all
these people to the surgery.

- Surgery's closed, though.
- Well, go and open it, then.

- Stop eating peanuts.
- I'll have those.

Calm. Calmly. In through the
nose, out through the mouth.

When's the Doc gonna see me?

I told you, he's seeing
everybody one by one.

I could die. Would you be happy then, eh?

Would you?

I didn't ask to come back to work.

Listen, the Doctor said
that you are all stable now,

so just take a breath and
he will be with you ASAP.

Have you had any other symptoms?

Same as my mates, Doc.

Tell me about them.

Well, there's Chloe, she's
blonde, says it's natural,

- but hello, roots.
- Tell me about the symptoms.

Oh.

Bit of a sore throat,
chest pain, comes and goes,

hurts when I cough.

That last one, that was huge.

Can I get a sick note?

And this just started today?

Didn't you ask my mates the same question?

Yes, and now I'm asking you.

Started this morning. So sick note, yeah?

Otherwise Bert'll try and stiff us.

We did that oyster festival
for him the other day,

he's still not coughed up, plus
he got mad at us for, you know.

No, I don't know. What does that mean?

He's doing it to promote
his horrible whisky.

Couldn't make me drink it, but then he's,

"That's coming out of your wages."

"It's only one bottle,
mate." Tight-fisted git.

And you were all drinking
from the same bottle?

Yeah, but I'm still not paying for it.

Was everybody drinking from
that bottle working tonight?

Yeah. Who else you going get?

Slave wages, I said. Then he
said slaves didn't get wages.

What are you doing down there?

Quiet!

If you were working at the oyster festival

earlier this week, put
your hand in the air.

Keep your hand in the
air if you also shared

from a bottle of whisky with this girl.

Right.

It's my opinion you've all
contracted Bornholm disease.

It's spread by respiratory droplets,

infecting food and drink and bottles.

You can put your hands down now.

None of us care what we've got.

Are we gonna die, or what?

Well, you really should care, you know.

Because of your complete lack of hygiene,

you've infected one another with a virus.

Luckily for you, if it
is Bornholm disease,

it clears up in a week without treatment.

But you all need to stay at home
to avoid infecting anyone else.

- We're bridesmaids tomorrow.
- I am the photographer

- for the wedding, yeah?
- I really don't care.

God knows how many
people you infected today.

Now go home and stay indoors.

I'll be calling your parents to make sure

they don't let you out.

Great for them on their wedding day!

- Whatever!
- Ridiculous!

- What are you doing here?
- You told me to come here.

Well, go home, then.

- Kind of feels like a bad omen.
- No, it's not.

It's just an unexplained situation

where a group of people have collapsed

with symptoms similar to
that of a heart attack.

That's all. Don't worry.

Where did everybody go?

Gonna need you to step
up your game tomorrow.

So why are you trying to
force our whisky on people?

- Special promotion.
- Bert.

I'm fairly sure I'm not an idiot

so I'd appreciate your
not treating me like one.

You promised me I was buying
into a legitimate business.

It is legitimate.

Then you can provide me with
some current sales figures.

Of course I can.

May take a few days to
collate the figures, though.

No, Bert. Tomorrow.

James. Speak to Mummy.

Come on, James.

Speak to Mummy.

Say "duck".

Say "duck".

Duck.

No?

OK. James,

say "doggy".

A doggy. Say "doggy".

Dog. Woof, woof!

Woof! Dog.

Dog.

What on earth are you doing with that dog?

I just wanted to give James
a little... a little nudge.

Why? His developmental
process is perfectly normal.

Well, maybe we have different
ideas of what normal is.

Martin, we both had absentee parents.

Sometimes I worry we'll end
up repeating that pattern.

Why were you waving a dog?

Because Joe Penhale got
to hear his first word.

I just feel like I missed out.

I should get ready for work.

Banana. He's not had it yet.
Please will you give it to him?

You, out of here. Go on, shoo!

Shoo, shoo!

Martin, what happened
with those girls yesterday?

They'll get better. It
was Bornholm disease.

Of course, yes. An
enterovirus. Makes sense.

And how are things at home?

They're fine.

You sound uncertain.

- Please don't analyse me.
- I wasn't.

I was showing concern.

Louisa missed James's
first word and, erm...

Well, she's finding it, erm...

The post therapy period can be difficult.

People grow reliant on the process,

having problems to focus on.

It can be a period of transition,

adjusting her view of the
world and her place in it.

Right, well, that's something
to look forward to, isn't it?

Oh, no. No, no. Get away!

Go away! Disgusting.

Sorry, Doc, I'll just be a minute.

What the hell are you doing?

Sorry, Doc, I can't help
it, I got caught short.

Oh, no, no, no!

I don't think I'll make it inside, Doc.

- No, just go!
- Oh, thank you.

No, go inside!

Oh. Oh.

Ah. Wait. Wait there. Wait.

I really can't. Ah...

In that.

No, no, no, in the lavatory!

- Is he all right?
- He's an idiot.

It's a casserole.

Oh, thank you.

I'll be wanting the dish
back when you're done.

You didn't have to do this.

Well, as we're working together,
it's important we get along.

Just you here alone, then, is it?

Er... yeah.

Oh. Cos I remember the
estate agent, Mrs Trappett,

saying that a nice young
couple were moving in.

Did something happen, then?

I need to get on, I've
got a lot to unpack.

As you wish.

It's quite a big place, though,
isn't it, for just one?

- Thanks again.
- Mmhm.

Bye.

Sorry, Doc. I forgot to fill
the sample thingy the first time

and obviously had to wait
for the pipes to refill...

as it were.

On the examination table, please.

I've got to go get ready for my wedding.

You're clearly in great discomfort

and were urinating in my garden.

Get on the examination table.

Take off your belt, undo
the top of your trousers.

- Does this hurt?
- No.

I told you, Doc, you're
fussing about nothing,

I've just pushed myself too
hard at the gym, that's all.

- Does this hurt?
- Argh!

OK, let go. Let go.

How long have you had that pain?

A few days.

And how often are you passing water?

- Bit personal.
- I'm a doctor.

Every couple of hours. Sometimes more.

Is it...

Is it serious?

I'm gonna have to tell Janice
before I go down the aisle.

It's like when you buy a second-hand car.

If there's something wrong,
they have to tell you.

That's the law.

The dipstick shows there's
blood in your urine.

Oh, God.

It could indicate nephrolithiasis.

- That'd be my best guess.
- I can't believe it.

It's kidney stones.

Right.

Doc, couldn't you have just said that?

Because, frankly, necro...

- Nephrolithiasis.
- .. sounds terrifying.

You'll need surgery, or laser
treatment on the stones,

or you could pass them naturally.

I'll go for natural. Sounds
best. They're only stones.

I'll prescribe you some painkillers.

Actually, Doc, I've heard about
people getting addicted to them.

Couldn't I have something off the shelf?

No, it wouldn't be strong enough.

It can be incredibly painful.
And drink plenty of fluids.

What do you mean? No bridesmaids at all?

Doctor's orders.

So, who's gonna take photos?

Well, I can take them.

Don't worry.

OK, hold still.

So, what time are your parents arriving?

I sort of didn't tell them,

because I've been married twice
before and they keep saying

I don't think things through.

You have thought this
through, though, right?

Well... yeah.

It's just with everything
going wrong last night

and now the bridesmaids being cancelled...

.. it feels like a sign.

Well, anything can be a
sign, if you want it to be.

OK. You're done.

I do look amazing, though.

- Sorry...
- Oh!

.. if I upset you earlier.

No, you didn't. It's fine.

Good, because I know
weddings can be stressful.

Mm.

Oh, Reverend Moore is an old hand.

Now, he makes it look easy.

Watch it!

Does he not know we're
going to the wedding?

Of course he would.

Where are you going? I
told you to stay at home.

- We're going...
- What?

I'm the bleedin' photographer.

- We're bridesmaids.
- None of this matters.

You are all extremely infectious. Go home.

There's more of us than there is of you.

You can't stop us, Doc, can you?

I can report you to the
environmental health officer.

If your symptoms get
worse, contact the surgery.

Go home and stay there.
And I will be checking.

This is ridiculous!

I spent four hours doing
my hair, Doc. Thanks!

- What a joke!
- Better now?

Yes.

Good morning, ladies.

- Have you got the ring?
- Course I have.

Don't worry, everything's going to be...

Don't say it. You'll jinx it.

- Hello.
- Hello, there.

On the left.

So we've sold nothing
in the past three weeks

but have continued to produce stock?

Yes.

Which puts us on the edge
of collapse, doesn't it?

Maybe we should talk about
this after the wedding.

Oh, we will. Believe me.

You know, we've no idea
if it's been housetrained

and the chances are it's
riddled with disease.

Endless studies show
that children who grow up

around pets, like I did, have a
greater cognitive development.

And that's just a fact.

There are certain studies, yes.

I'm not entirely sure they're endless.

Is this why you've been unhappy recently?

- Because you want a dog?
- No.

I've not been unhappy, Martin.

Just cos you don't want a dog
doesn't mean James is the same.

Oh, you look nice, Joe.

Did you pick up those painkillers?

Doc, do me a favour. It's my wedding.

Take off the stethoscope
and try and enjoy yourself.

I'm not an idiot, you know.

After you.

Let's go through.

Are you OK?

Maybe it's just nerves.

And Joe is lovely and sweet.

It's just...

I don't know.

How did you decide about Al?

Well, I'm not marrying
Al, I'm just going out.

And we were friends for
a long time before that.

And he always dates the
Doc's receptionists

so I suppose it was a no-brainer.

Cheers, babe.

It's different for me.

I don't want to hurt Joe.

You're gonna hurt him a lot more

if you change your mind
in a few months' time.

I think I need to speak to him.

Mind your dress. You can
get a refund on that.

(Mrs T...)

- Hi.
- Hi. Erm, Joe, listen...

In the presence of God,
Father, Son and Holy Spirit...

Sorry, just one sec.

.. we have come together
to witness the marriage

of Joseph William Penhale

and Janice Alice Catherine Kate Bone,

and pray for God's blessing on them...

Sorry, is there any chance
you could sort of...

- Go faster. Yes, please.
- What?

.. and to shape their joy
and celebrate their love.

Marriage is a gift of God in creation...

Could you maybe fast forward a bit?

- Fast forward?
- No one's really interested

in all the God stuff, it's
the vows they came to hear,

so just skip on a bit,
get to the good stuff.

I'm going to perform
the ceremony properly.

It would be good to take a moment...

It doesn't matter, just keep on going.

Marriage is a gift of God in creation.

- You've said that already.
- It is given...

that as man and woman grow together

in love and trust...

- .. they shall be united.
- No. Sorry. Just one minute.

Don't worry, I think I know what it is.

- I need to go and tell him.
- Are you sure?

What's happening?

Janice is thinking of
calling off the wedding.

What? No.

No, you can't, because he'll blame me.

- I'll never hear the end of it.
- It's the best time.

- Get him nice and quiet.
- Try not to make it hurt

any more than it has to.

- Ow, ow!
- How are you getting on?

No. Doc, it really hurts.

You didn't get the painkillers, did you?

I didn't want to be all
smacked up on painkillers

- on my wedding day.
- Then you're an idiot.

I know that now, Doc.

So, erm...

normal service will be
resumed in a few minutes,

so just talk amongst yourselves.

Try not to strain.

Then stop looking at me.

Ohh!

- Right. I'm looking away now.
- Ow, ow!

Ohh!

Sorry about that.

Right. Normal service is resumed.

Let the wedding service commence.

- Mate...
- Trying to have a wedding here

in case you hadn't noticed. From the top.

- No.
- Good point.

No need to do the boring
bit. From the middle.

Joe...

- Al, seize the phone.
- I told you to stay at home!

- I'm the official photographer.
- Go home now and stay there!

Doc. Please. Trying to
have a wedding here.

- Maybe... we shouldn't.
- Look, I understand.

But you can't blame her, it's
her first wedding, after all.

- This is not my fault.
- No, sure, I'm just...

I imagine someone with
a bit more experience

would know how to make
things go a bit smoother.

It's you, making a
mockery of this ceremony.

Marriage is serious.

Love is serious,

but you're treating it all like some joke.

We could just go to the vows if you want.

I want you to be quiet
and listen for once.

Neither of you have thought this through.

You are showing utter contempt
for the order of service,

and she, well, she's clearly
having second thoughts.

No, she's not.

Are you?

I'm sorry.

You could have both had
a serious discussion

about this beforehand, like I suggested.

But no, not you two.

No, it's better to wait
till the service is under way

before you examine your relationship!

You know, you're the kind
of people who wait until...

.. until someone has flown halfway round

the bloody world before
you tell them it's over.

That's a little bit unprofessional.

Something's the matter
with her. Miss Edwards?

And I thought I could cope.

I thought I could manage.

Miss Edwards, can I have a word?

No. No. They wanted a wedding.

They're gonna get a wedding.

They are getting married
whether they like it or not.

Now start playing. Start playing!

Back to your places, come on, come on!

Penhale, can you put pressure on that?

Give me my hand back.

She's got no pulse.

Let me listen.

Right, she's stopped breathing.

- Defibrillator?
- Yeah, it's in the car.

- I'll get it, and your bag.
- Thank you.

- Get outside!
- Yes, come on. Everyone out.

- Just let me through.
- Sal, Sal, come on.

It looks like...

a myocardial infarction, Doc.

Oh, my. Oh.

Got it.

Her heart's beating again, but
it's faint. Where's my bag?

- Here.
- There's a lot of blood, Doc.

Yes.

The Warfarin stopped it clotting properly.

- Leave that alone.
- On the case, Doc.

- I'm right by your side.
- Don't touch anything.

Right.

Press down. I'll give her
a vitamin K injection

to reverse the effects of the Warfarin.

I feel duty-bound to tell you, Doctor,

that the patient has been taking drugs.

I saw her popping pills earlier.

And also she called you odd.

Best do what the Doc says. Come on, Sal.

Come on.

Miss Edwards, what tablets
have you been taking?

Miss Edwards.

I just needed something to
get me through this month.

He already had a new girlfriend.

All that way to get my heart ripped out.

I was supposed to be married next month.

Yes, but what have you taken?

I got them in Australia.

- Ven... Ven something.
- Venlafaxine?

Yes, supposed to help with
depression and anxiety and...

And when taken in
conjunction with Warfarin

can cause psychosis and slurred speech,

and an arrhythmic heart beat.

So, Doc, just to check,

will she be able to continue the wedding?

For the last time, go home!

Ruth, I know I've made a
little bit of a mess of things

and you probably want to pull
out of our business deal.

A partnership requires a
degree of trust and honesty,

both of which seem to be in short supply.

This is all I've got in my life.

Emotional blackmail won't help.

No, I mean, I will fight
to the last breath

to make this business work.

I know I'm not perfect, but I
believe that we have something.

I just need a little more time.

One month.

I was thinking more like six or seven.

One month. Right. No problem.

What? Hang on. What?

- Thank you.
- Oh, you're welcome.

I didn't think I could cope.

But I know that's not true now.

But everything is a test, isn't it?

And that's how He works.

And if I can survive that policeman,

I can survive anything.

Blessed is the one...

- Right, off you go.
- .. who perseveres under trial.

James, Chapter One, Verse 12.

Well, at least Joe managed to
achieve something positive today

in a roundabout way.

- Do you think he'll be OK?
- Why?

From the looks of things, he's
just been jilted at the altar.

Hi.

We just want different things in life.

I want a family. Kids.

I know, five or six.

I feel like we rushed into this, Joe.

I'm so sorry, I really am.

It's fine. I'm good.

(Nighty night. Good boy.)

(Is he asleep?)

(Yeah, kind of.)

I think we should, erm... keep the dog.

For a trial period,

providing it's quarantined

and deloused and wormed and castrated.

Oh, that's wonderful.

But why?

- Because you asked me.
- But it's a dog, Martin.

It's a harbinger of
pestilence and disease.

Mm. But you've seemed frustrated lately

and er... I think it might help.

The problem isn't the
dog, Martin. It's my work.

It's... Oh, it's changed,
and it doesn't help

I keep thinking that I should
be around more for James.

So we don't need the dog, then?

No, no, we're having the dog.

On a trial period with strict parameters.

For a trial period with strict parameters.

Dog.

Martin, I think I know what
he's saying. He's saying "dog".

Did you say, "dog"?

Now say, "Mummy".

Say, "Mummy".

Are you cleaning yourself properly now?

How is your personal hygiene routine?

I am not a drug addict.

Which is exactly what
one of them would say.

- Sorry, am I early?
- Yes.

This is from your Dr. Ellingham.

- It hurts!
- It really does.

I have no idea what my
father saw in such a place.
