This is the BBC. This

0:30

is the BBC. BBC

1:00

Sounds. Music, radio, podcasts. This

1:30

is the BBC. It

2:09

was a medical emergency, but

2:12

those two words don't tell the

2:14

whole story. I'm

2:23

a specialist. I'm a hip-rap.

2:28

So go on. I

2:43

don't believe what happened was otherworldly,

2:47

but you know. Bly

2:50

is unusual. It's

2:54

a remote village, ancient,

2:57

inaccessible in lots of ways, and

3:00

the place is just strange.

3:05

It wasn't my choice to be there. Anna is

3:07

my big sister. Did

3:09

we go based on her need? Was it

3:11

a pragmatic choice or something

3:13

else? I

3:16

don't know. But

3:18

before the terrible events in Bly,

3:20

she was just a GP working

3:22

in the city. That's

3:31

where they started, in Cardiff,

3:34

on the day the street swallowed a woman. I'm

4:00

a dead man.

4:07

But overall it's

4:11

good news. Is

4:18

it? The

4:20

area concerning me, here, is

4:23

now clear of hematoma. You've

4:25

responded well to treatment, Mr Casey. Are

4:28

you serious, Dr Diaz? I'm

4:31

really pleased with you. I know. Jet,

4:36

I'm with the patient. You're needed. What's

4:38

the matter? Grab your field kit. Come on.

4:50

It's emerald. Oh! It's a

4:52

sinkhole. It causes. The

4:55

hole went down it. A

4:57

young woman was driving. It's

5:01

me. God,

5:07

it's big. The

5:12

car was wedged in the middle of the deep drop. The

5:17

woman got thrown out. She

5:19

was down there, twisted up on the

5:21

car in shadow and glass. Not

5:26

badly. Are you hurt? No, no,

5:28

no, no. It's not safe. It's not moving. Something

5:31

is moving down there. Not

5:34

the girl. Something else. We

5:37

need a rope. It's got further to fall.

5:39

We need to get for her now, Jed. Who's

5:42

got a rope? Someone

5:45

must have one. Keep

5:56

everyone back. Anna

6:00

climbed down into the dark. It's

6:07

okay. I'm here to help. Don't

6:11

yell! What is it?

6:13

Oh, rats! Get

6:15

your teeth out of me! Come

6:17

back up, please. I'm with her now! I'm

6:23

Anna. I'm a

6:25

doctor. I need to check

6:27

you over. What's your name?

6:31

So you conducted a primary survey on

6:34

a semi-conscious patient, on top of a

6:36

car, inside the shaft, with a

6:38

rope tied round your waist. She

6:41

was GCF 10. Limited responses.

6:43

But given the circumstances... There,

6:45

a chasm beneath you? She

6:47

had acute stress. Weren't

6:50

you frightened, Dr. Diaz? I

6:52

was concerned about her lower limbs. No,

6:55

I've not yet immobilised. No

6:57

clicks? What's the email, assistant?

7:00

Ten minutes. I'll call them again. We'll

7:02

need a crate. One week. Her

7:07

legs were caught tight between the wall

7:09

and the car, hemorrhaging extensively. I

7:12

gave her pain relief and two grams of

7:14

tranexamic through a field IV line. You

7:16

inserted a pre-hospital IV? With

7:19

palpation, I found tightening in the

7:21

trapped limbs, suggesting muscle ischemia. In

7:24

line with compartment syndrome. Requiring

7:26

field surgery? Yes. To

7:29

prevent permanent damage. So,

7:31

a fasciotomy on a carbonate in the

7:33

dark on your own? I was wearing

7:35

a headlamp. Had you performed

7:37

the procedural whore? No.

7:43

You're doing well, Katie. Try to

7:45

relax. I'm

7:47

going to relieve the pressure with an incision

7:49

in the muscle, okay? Okay.

7:53

And here we go. Keep

7:58

breathing. Was

8:04

it an immediate success? Are

8:06

their muscles softened and blood flow

8:08

improved? And then? I

8:10

waited with her for the rescue team to come and

8:13

cut her out. The

8:16

car isn't secure down there. I

8:18

can just step there, love. I can just step and go. Careful!

8:23

Here we need to take this black and special air

8:25

vent off the cross. Take it easy.

8:27

Okay! That's it! I'm waiting for

8:29

you! I'm waiting for you! Help

8:32

is here, Katie. You'll

8:35

be okay now. I promise. And

8:41

the incident commander has provided details

8:43

of the rescue. Anything

8:46

else to add, Dr. Diaz? No.

8:51

I want to say sorry. I

8:54

should have done better. Did

8:59

you see the way she looked at me in there? Shall

9:01

we go to the pub? Would you back in? They'll

9:03

text you when the verdict's in. My

9:05

phone's not working. I forgot. Hannah, if

9:08

you don't pay the bill... I know! I set

9:10

you up a direct debit. I misappressed something. You

9:13

are an idiot. Can you sort it for

9:15

me? And a moron. Give

9:18

it here. I've

9:21

been preoccupied. Yeah.

9:24

Well, don't worry about it. Everything

9:26

will be all right. Jed,

9:30

she lost her legs. You

9:33

deleted your billing details. Why

9:38

did you even go down the hole? I couldn't just

9:40

leave her there. With agreed risk-taking as the North Coast...

9:43

You took me there and helped me go down it. I

9:46

know you're trying to be supportive, Jed, but you're

9:48

just being annoying. You're

9:51

annoying? My career is

9:53

about to end. I'm

9:56

sorry. The

10:03

ad hoc field surgery was challenging,

10:06

but Dr Diaz's care adhered to

10:08

proper medical judgment. However,

10:11

after degeneration, Ms Roberts

10:14

later required limb excision in theatre,

10:17

which brings us to culpability. I

10:20

come to the expert testimony of

10:22

Mr Phillips, the orthopedic traumatologist. He

10:25

said evidence shows the initial

10:28

injury was critically severe and

10:30

amputation unavoidable. In

10:32

short, Anna Diaz was never in

10:34

a position to save the legs. Mr

10:37

Phillips went further. He told us that

10:39

without her timely intervention, the

10:42

acute compartment syndrome in this case

10:44

would have likely led to organ

10:46

failure and an outcome considerably worse.

10:50

Okay. I

10:52

find no case to answer. I

10:55

commend Dr Diaz for her

10:57

frankly heroic and life-saving actions.

11:00

Thank you. We'll close things

11:02

here. Results?

11:10

Pub? No one's a winner here, Jad. Dr

11:13

Diaz, could I have a word? Yes,

11:15

sir. He's putting you

11:17

up for an award. No, it'll be

11:20

a bollocking. Do

11:26

you know Paris? I did a

11:28

bit of hiking there a few years ago. A

11:30

village called Glai. It's not on the tourist

11:32

trail. I don't think so. High

11:35

price. The local GP has died

11:38

unexpectedly. We need someone to

11:40

fill the gap while we find a replacement. A

11:43

locum tenant? To get to the bottom

11:45

of things. The bottom of what? Exactly. I

11:48

don't understand, sir. Your

11:51

testimonials are impressive. You're

11:53

good with people, even difficult ones,

11:55

and you improvise well in unusual

11:57

circumstances. I have a surgery practice.

12:00

I know, with your brother. Yeah, he does my admin,

12:02

he's a good accountant. We'll cover your patients.

12:05

Jad helps me in other ways. He

12:08

can go with you. What's

12:11

unusual about Bly? The

12:14

village nurse is holding the fort. She'll phone

12:17

you tonight. Mr. Devonshire, if there's already a

12:19

nurse... A Bly needs a doc. I

12:21

have no real experience of rural practising.

12:23

Anna, it's a challenge. It

12:26

doesn't feel right. Good, then you won't be

12:28

complacent. This is... sensitive.

12:33

Speak to Nurse Ruth. Oh,

12:45

starving. Everything? What

12:47

time is she calling? Anytime. Have

12:49

you found her? Yeah,

12:52

she looks terrifying. Don't

12:54

be silly. Let me see. Oh.

12:57

Okay. Her

13:00

eyes. She just has a resting

13:03

bitch face. I think that's a smile. Looks

13:05

like someone who strangles cats. Stop it. Anything

13:08

on Bly? It's small.

13:10

There's just a couple of hundred people.

13:12

Pub, chapel, shop, houses,

13:15

outlive farms and stuff. Little

13:18

country surgeries on a hill surrounded by forest.

13:21

What's unusual about it then? I don't know. It's

13:23

very isolated. Yeah. Middle

13:26

of nowhere. Ruth?

13:37

I can hardly hear you. Lines are

13:39

down. When the rain's bad. She didn't

13:41

call till midnight. What's the situation there?

13:44

Dr Price is dead. Now all

13:46

this? Are there problems? Yeah,

13:49

I don't want to make a mistake. Sorry.

13:51

Can you... Mr Darlington has a picture. I've

13:53

got one wife done. And

13:56

people scared. And Mr Darlington is one

13:58

of the locals. three of the locals.

14:03

Ruth, hello. And he won't

14:06

take his hat off. We

14:08

need your help. I haven't accepted Mrs.

14:11

Evans... We are waiting for you. When are

14:13

you coming in? Ruth, I'm so sorry. Don't

14:15

leave us on the phone. We're

14:18

abandoned. We're abandoned.

14:25

She said what? Something

14:27

about someone's hat. Well,

14:30

if someone has a problem with a hat, we need to

14:32

get there as fast as is humanly possible. Jed.

14:36

I know, but it did sound

14:38

serious. And

14:40

interesting. It sounds like a mess we

14:43

don't need. They

14:45

feel abandoned. We're

14:47

abandoned. You

14:50

sure she said that? Yes. She

14:53

used those words. Yes. Okay.

14:59

What do you think? We

15:02

can't go there, Anna. Jed.

15:09

Sally has the keys. Okay? Jed.

15:12

I'm dealing with a handover. We're losing time.

15:14

So call her with any problems. All

15:18

right. Okay then. Let's

15:21

get going. She

15:25

couldn't refuse the call. Anna

15:28

turned her empathy into duty. That's

15:30

why her patients loved her. This

15:35

is a big mistake. Possibly.

15:39

Come on. She

15:47

couldn't let down anyone who needed her. We're

15:53

abandoned, sir. We

15:58

can't go there. I can't go there Anna.

16:01

I can't not. You're

16:03

stitching me up with a double negative. Still can't connect to

16:05

the app? I

16:08

don't know where we are so we can't locate ourselves on

16:10

it. We could be

16:12

going in circles. They'll

16:15

find our bodies on this road. Shoot

16:17

which? Pull over. Your corpse

16:19

will have that match from his rectum.

16:22

Yes. What? What?

16:26

I don't know. Stop

16:30

smiling at me. That

16:39

must be the surgery. We're supposed to meet

16:41

Ruth here. Four hours ago. Let's

16:44

see. It's

16:57

past everyone's bedtime. What

17:00

do you make of this? Is

17:02

that a grave? Yeah, a fresh one. Tamellias

17:05

but no headstone yet. It's

17:10

a grave outside of surgery a bit...

17:13

unusual. Let's go home. You

17:16

want to do that journey again? Not really.

17:18

We're booked in the pub, aren't we? There's

17:22

lights over there. That's

17:25

slightly more promising. Hello.

17:38

What can I get you? Two

17:41

pints of Guinness, please. We need it after

17:44

our trip. No problem. Lost?

17:48

English, are you? Everwax. Sit you out.

17:51

I'm the new doctor. I can

17:53

believe that. Written all over

17:55

your face. I'm Jed Diaz

17:57

and this is my sister Anna. There's

18:00

a room here. I

18:02

know. I've seen the book. I'll

18:05

take you up when you're ready. So actually we

18:07

were supposed to meet Ruth. The surgery nurse? Beanie.

18:10

Yeah, but the surgery's locked. I locked it.

18:14

I'm the catech. I'm Raymond. Can you

18:16

help us? Beanie's in the goidwig.

18:19

The forest? Mr. Dartington

18:21

escaped again. Dartington? That's the patient

18:24

she mentioned. And Ruth. She

18:26

went after him. She went looking. They're out

18:28

there somewhere. A

18:31

bit dark for a forest stroll. Yeah. What

18:34

do you mean he escaped? Well, it's not my

18:36

area of expertise. Can you show us where they might

18:38

be in the forest? After our point.

18:41

No. Now. Please. It's

18:53

pretty cold. And dark. No

18:56

light pollution. I've got the headlumps. Use

19:00

this gap. It's pretty dense.

19:02

Or they'll be deep down in there. Did

19:05

you have a dog? No. That dog

19:07

lives in there. Funny

19:10

thing, it has a face like a man. Excuse

19:13

me? Or is it a

19:15

man with a face like a dog? I always mix

19:18

those up. What are you talking about? I best

19:20

get back to the pub. Ruth?

19:23

Won't hear you from here. It's it. But

19:26

when you're in, go straight. Okay.

19:29

Come on, Judd. Good

19:33

luck. Mr. Darting turns a

19:35

demon. Ruth?

19:42

She must be worried about him if she follows him into

19:44

here. Ruth?

19:49

Hello? Hello?

19:58

Hello? Mmm!

20:02

Listen. What?

20:08

Nothing. I don't know. Keep

20:10

moving then? Shh. Where's

20:14

the pan? It's straight. Which way

20:16

is straight? Did

20:23

you hear that? My underpants heard it. What

20:25

was it? Poor

20:30

Caesar! Hey, what the hell? That

20:34

was evil. Sounds

20:37

can't be moral, Jed. Oh,

20:40

three sips of Guinness wasn't enough for

20:42

this. Bring

20:56

him! Mr.

21:01

May! Chris? Chris?

21:07

Chris? Chris?

21:10

He must be talking to you. Jed? You

21:15

okay? Yeah, bit of a situation. You're

21:17

late. You've lost the patience. She

21:22

had a miner's helmet. We

21:25

stood in a dark, cold forest, shining

21:27

lights into each other's faces. He's

21:32

nearby. I can smell him. We

21:36

heard noises. Screams. And

21:38

horns. What

21:41

kind of kids do you have here? God,

21:54

he's huge. I

21:57

can't. Do

22:01

you have a head injury? A

22:06

mass of flesh, sweat

22:08

glistening on his face, a

22:11

cloth berry loose on his head. Follow

22:16

my lead. Go easy. Not

22:21

good for you out here, Lenny. Are

22:26

you okay, sir? Who's that? You

22:29

may need medical attention. May I examine you?

22:31

Keep away! We just want the help. Mind

22:34

your own shrimp. I'm

22:37

hot. That's all. This

22:40

girl is Dr. Diaz. She's

22:42

a specialist from the city, Lenny. Specialist in

22:44

what? In painting the backside.

22:49

Ruth tells me you've put weight on,

22:51

Mr. Dartington. That

22:53

may mean an underlying problem. Dr. Price is my doctor.

22:57

Not anymore, he's not. Please, do you

22:59

compose? Shut your whole shrimp. Let

23:02

the doctor check you over. She

23:05

touches me. I snap a

23:07

spine. Your

23:13

breathing's labored, indicating respiratory

23:15

distress. I

23:17

can see you have pain in your jaw and signs of

23:19

discomfort in your chest and arms. And

23:23

you're sweating heavily despite cool conditions. All

23:26

that tells me you could be having a cardiac event right

23:28

now. You need

23:30

an urgent examination. I

23:34

beg to differ. That

23:38

needs a good wash, too. Looks

23:40

like it's merged with skin. Happened

23:42

to M. Williams and stuff. Don't run

23:44

off! A lot of you. No

23:49

more arguments, sir. Anna

23:52

moved quickly, the stethoscope on

23:54

his chest. Hey! Stay

23:58

still a moment. She

24:01

listened to his heart. Okay.

24:08

Good. No immediate

24:10

danger. No, go on. But you're not great.

24:14

You've got some bollocks, little girl.

24:20

He stared at her and she stared back.

24:26

A tiny girl and a big man. You're

24:31

coming to surgery for a proper examination

24:33

immediately. Hi.

24:37

Maybe I am. Oh.

24:46

Don't worry. My

24:50

sister knew what she was doing. Lean

25:02

on, lean on her. Through

25:04

here. Take it easy.

25:08

Where can I set myself? Dr. Price's

25:10

office is in there. Let's

25:13

resume here, Lenny. Okay.

25:16

Is there a bed for him

25:18

tonight? In

25:28

the back. I'll sort something. All

25:32

these things. They

25:34

belong to the old doctor. I

25:37

should have cleared up. This is your chair. Is

25:39

that his white coat? I can move it.

25:41

No, don't worry for now. All

25:43

these files are going to be useful. I

25:46

need some help with the big man. Yeah, I'm

25:48

coming, Jet. Put him

25:50

on the couch in here. I'll see him

25:52

alone. Are you sure? Let's

26:01

remove this health hazard. It doesn't

26:04

come off. I think it does. You

26:08

smell like an animal.

26:12

Don't test me Mr. Dartington. You want

26:14

that. You take

26:17

it off me. Fine.

26:19

Then it's your problem. You'll

26:23

feel better. You

26:27

are all of us.

26:33

Ah. Right. I see. Okay.

26:37

Didn't expect

26:40

that, did you? No,

26:44

I didn't. Are

26:47

you scared, little girl? Is

26:52

he behaving? The

26:56

goddess Hathoth. Well done. How

26:58

bad is he? I

27:01

know what. You know, don't you

27:03

Ruth? I had to keep a few

27:06

details back. No

27:08

what? I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm

27:11

not sure. Mr. Dartington has got horns. They're growing

27:13

out of his head. A lot of people have problems in Bly.

27:15

Aah. Aah. Aah. Aah.

27:19

Aah. Aah. Aah. Aah.

27:22

Aah. Aah. Aah.

27:25

Aah. Aah. Aah.

27:28

Aah. Aah. Aah.

27:31

Aah. Aah. Aah.

27:34

Aah. Aah. Aah.

27:37

Aah. Aah. Aah.

27:40

Aah. His

28:00

two daughters and but even who

28:02

does the seven share? My pal

28:05

Iran. And raymond.

28:08

Are you in heaven? With
