Now then, while I've got you...
♪ I just died in your arms tonight
♪ Should have walked away... ♪ - Mr Hughes! Mr Hughes!
Be a dear and save that lovely voice of yours for the X Factor auditions.
People are trying to sleep. - Sorry, nurse.
It's a good song...
That song has been banned by hospital radio for obvious reasons!
What in God's name is Vern playing at? He should have been off air hours ago.
- Ward Six are still humming the theme tune to MASH. - Of course they are.
- Why is he doing this? - She dumped him.
Sorry?
Vern's girlfriend. She dumped him this morning. Poor kid.
How do you know?
And I don't think the lad's taken it well.
What? You think?
♪ I just died in your arms tonight
♪ Must have been something you said
♪ I just died in your arms tonight
♪ Oh, I, I just died in your arms tonight
♪ It must have been some kind of kiss
♪ I should have walked away
♪ It was a long, hot night
♪ She made it easy, she made it feel right... ♪
Do you think Vern's taking requests?
- You're a sick man. - I'm in good company then!
Sorry, but I just don't get it.
- We're in a hospital... - Not the... I don't get why Vern's doing this.
- Have you ever been dumped by a girl? - No.
Is that what all this is about, being dumped by some girl?
Not "some girl", girlfriend. And no, it's not.
Then what is it about?
The... pain... of not being with the one you love.
OK, so Vern is upset, but why have we got to share his suffering?
- Have you ever been in love? - You two are lively on your feet.
I had a hell of a time getting here. Got on the wrong bus.
You left it behind last night.
'Dr Mowad?'
'Sorry, I've really got to take this. I've really got to go. '
- 'Another time maybe. Or tomorrow. ' - 'Yeah, it's a date. '
If she still loves him, why did she leave him?
Haven't you been listening to Misery FM?
She thinks he doesn't love her any more. What's the point in being together?
You don't throw it away. You work at it, work it out.
Someone's got to tell Vern not to give up.
- Off you go then, Doctor. - What?
I think you've been made the negotiator. Have fun!
OK.
- When did this happen? - When did what happen?
- You and Cheryl. - Me and...
There is no "me and Cheryl". We're not...
I don't even know her. Her mother died last week and...
Look, it doesn't matter. There's nothing going on.
She made you a picnic. She's a nice girl. You could do much worse.
- You go out with her then. - I can't do that.
- Why not? - Cos she wants to go out with you.
- I don't wanna go out with her. - You have to tell her.
She thinks something's going on between you two.
Whatever you do, don't encourage her.
- I didn't. - The last thing she needs is encouragement.
Hey. Oi. This ain't gonna be no picnic!
Has he got ants in his pants or something?
- Eat your hat, my lovely girl. - Sorry?
- Pardon? - I'm sorry, Dr Howard, were you talking to me?
No. Well, I am now. Of course I am, but...
I was talking to my wife.
I lost her three years and three days ago to cancer, but I still talk to her.
Sometimes.
That's a bit... silly, isn't it?
No.
It's... It's lovely.
She always used to accuse me of never finishing what I started.
I was a standing joke.
But it's only taken me 15 years and God knows how many
newspapers later to prove her wrong...
You should frame it. I bet she'd want you to.
Yes, she probably would.
Well, then?
Erm... First thing tomorrow morning.
Goodnight, Dr Llewellyn.
Goodnight, Dr Howard.
Stupid girl!
Stop beating yourself about it. It was an accident.
What am I going to do?
The crossword.
'If you open the door, we can talk about it and sort it out. '
I promise.
Vern!
We can make things better.
'Everybody Hurts... Oh, tell me about it. '
Nothing should keep two people in love apart.
Nothing.
- Oh, God! - What? - You've got a new boyfriend, haven't you?
- What? - Just taking a wild stab in the dark. - Well, don't.
Right then. How hard can this be?
Plant being depressed by someone passing perhaps.
I'm dead!
Seriously, I was treating a lady
who asked my opinion on whether her son had autism
based solely on the fact that he looked like Dustin Hoffman.
The mind boggles. Thank you.
But the patients rarely complain. It's usually the relatives.
Keep making a good impression, Dr Mowad.
Word around the campfire is that you're on the up and up.
Are you avoiding me?
'Why have you got it into your head head we're involved? We're not. '
- Why not? - Because we're not. All I did was buy you a coffee.
A cappuccino.
Crossword? No. I've got to go.
You'd just lost your mother, someone you'd looked after for...
13 years.
13.
That's hardly a life.
Mum...
It was all I had.
Gone...
I'm really sorry for your loss.
Don't you like me?
Sure.
Sure, I like you.
You're a really nice girl.
But we're not...
Now I've really got to get back to work.
Erm... sorry.
Everyone needs someone to love, don't they?
'Has Ameer ever been out with a girl?'
Hasn't he told you?
No.
- So? - Why haven't you got a girlfriend?
I've gotta go.
That makes two of us.
- Good luck. - Thank you. I just hope I get it finished.
What if you don't?
It's not an option. Howard finished it, so I have to.
- It's got a lot to answer for, Rhi. - What has?
Love.
See you later.
Dr Mowad, your new love Cheryl would like to dedicate this song to you.
♪ A hot summer night... ♪
'You're not the only person with problems, Vern. '
A lot of people are like this.
- Especially during the silly season. - Is that from Lethal Weapon?
- I live with two boys. It rubs off. - Oh.
Erm... Where was I?
'I'm a doctor, Miss Goblioski. '
A big part of a doctor's daily life is unfortunately,
to break bad news to family and friends.
- You bought me a muffin. - I did not buy you a muffin. - Yes, you did.
And you hugged me. It was nice.
- You were nice. Kind. - You can't go around saying things like that.
It could damage my career. Look, this has got to stop.
I've done all I can do. I can't do any more.
Please don't get upset. I'm not trying to hurt your feelings here.
I'm just...
Telling me to get lost!
No.
Would you?
I'm sorry. That was a horrible thing to say. I didn't mean that.
I don't want you to get lost.
It should have run like clockwork.
I delivered the correct information in a correct and compassionate way.
I broke the news gently, as I always do.
It should have run like clockwork.
I dunno. Maybe sometimes saying the right thing isn't enough.
I thought I'd nailed it. Ticked that box.
Every day, I come to work and I better myself.
I come in and make a good impression.
Who for? You?
Yeah.
Not your patients and the people who love them?
You might as well have bought your stethoscope from Fisher Price.
Why don't you ever have any girlfriends?
I never see you with any girls, apart from Cheryl. Joke!
- Seriously though, why don't you? - Why don't you?
- What? - Well, I never see you with any girlfriends either.
Why don't you have a girlfriend?
You know why I don't have a girlfriend.
Yeah, but...
I mean, things change.
What am I gonna do about Cheryl?
It's a doctor thing. I've read about it before.
A patient getting a crush on the doctor who treats them.
But I didn't treat her.
It must be the same for relatives.
Heightened circumstance, sends hormones haywire.
OK.
But how do I tell her that without hurting her?
If all else fails, you could always pull the old,
'It's not you, it's me' get out of jail free card.
It never fails apparently.
Those leaving nothing, legally so resistant.
Unwilling.
What?
Those leaving nothing, legally so resistant.
- What do you leave that's legal? - I don't know.
A will.
But those leave nothing...
Another word for resistant? Opposite of willing?
Unwilling.
Unwilling!
Unwilling! Yes!
Cheryl?
Look...
Ameer, Dr Mowad, he doesn't want you, he was just being nice.
It was more than just being nice.
He was kind.
And caring.
And he made me feel wanted.
He made me feel safe.
And he wants me.
I know he does. Even if he says he doesn't.
Because he wants me.
The thing is...
I'm in love with someone who doesn't want me anymore.
And I need to know that I'm gonna to be OK.
I just want to know that it's gonna be OK.
OK.
Backing old man, keeping quiet, I'm feeding stress?
It's 13 letters. A, something, something.
God knows!
What?
I'm not a thesaurus, Cath.
What happens when the music stops?
Vern? What happens when he runs out of love songs?
- What's he going to do then? - What?
- No. You don't think he's gonna... - I don't know. Is he?
No.
- Vern! - Come on mate! - Open the door, please!
Millions I kill, only to lose.
Millions I kill...
Millions, m. I?
Millions I... M, I...
Kill, slay? Mislay!
Mislay!
'You bought me a muffin. '
- I did not buy you a muffin. - It was nice. Kind.
- Please, Miss Goblioski. - You can't say...
That was all I had. Everyone needs someone to love, don't they?
'Someone to love. '
I want to be with you.
I want you to put your clothes back on!
It's not you, it's me.
What's you?
I don't know, I just don't want you.
Why don't you want me?
I... Because I'm gay.
You're...
You're gay?
Why would you lead me on if...
Cheryl, wait!
Prep for shock.
Charging at 115.
Charging again.
Shocking.
'The Look of Love' by Dusty Springfield
Here's a little Dusty to usher in a new day.
I want to dedicate it to my ex.
She hates this song, I think I'll play it on a loop.
Do you fancy a chat?
You're not gay, are you?
Good looking girl.
Yeah. Bride to be. My parents arranged it.
Oh, Ams!
No! I know it's a big part of your culture, tradition and faith but...
But what?
They can't force you into this marriage! Especially when you're...
- When I'm what? - Gay.
I'm not gay.
- Ams. - Hey, I'm not gay.
You are. There's nothing wrong with it.
- But I'm not gay! - But Cheryl, you told her you were.
I told her I was gay to...
Because I'd made a commitment to be with Yasmeen.
To take her as my wife.
Not yet, in a few years, I'll take her hand and...
- She's gorgeous. - She is, isn't she? Drop dead!
What if she doesn't love me?
What if I don't love her?
Judging by last night, what if you do? That's the scary question.
Are we OK?
Yeah. Yeah, we're good.
This is real. The patients, their families.
It's not an exercise in a textbook.
They don't go according to plan, that's for damn sure!
That's why I want to work in pathology!
Patients have got people that love them.
Even when they're gone.
Look at Doctor Howard and his crossword.
One thing we can't heal is a broken heart.
You know, every day I put on my tie, clip on my pens,
I grab a pack of tissues and I go through the motions.
I tick the boxes.
I'm a robot. The patients, their families, they don't want robots.
They want... - Transformers!
Yeah.
They don't go according to plan,
so why should we?
Well I bagsy Megatron! Come on.
Please, kick the door down.
And then kill him.
'The Look of Love' by Dusty Springfield
I got one wrong!
Doctor Mowad.
You look like hell.
Good for you!
We've decided the only explanation is that he's found out he's sick.
What's the best way to die?
- Uh, Dilys? - You're going to be successful.
My friend's ill.
Ow! That really hurt!
- Dilys reads palms! - My grandmother taught me.
We shall never speak of this again.
- You wanted to see me. - This way.
- What has he got? - A few sandwiches short of a picnic.
'Hello, doctor. '
I knew he was a bit odd but this is taking it too far. He needs help.
