Sorry to bother you, Doctor.
Pascoe's the name.
1:21:03
- I've interrupted your repose.
- No. Sit down.
1:21:06
I said to myself, "The Doctor's
well in the arms of Morpheus.
1:21:11
- "Enjoying the sleep of the just."
- Do sit down.
1:21:16
- Are we quite alone, Doctor?
- Er, yes, yes.
1:21:19
- Do you know Sir Lancelot Spratt?
- Yes, very well.
1:21:22
Sir Lancelot operated on me recently.
Partial gastrectomy.
1:21:26
- You know.
- Yes.
1:21:27
All was well until a few days ago.
Then I began to have pains.
1:21:32
This evening, at supper,
1:21:34
I coughed and suddenly felt something
in my mouth.
1:21:38
- It was a nut.
- You'd been eating nuts?
1:21:41
0h, no. It was a metal nut.
1:21:42
A little later, I brought up
more nuts and bit of a spring.
1:21:47
I've been bringing up pieces
of old iron all night.
1:21:50
Mr Pascoe, this is almost impossible.
Are you quite sure?
1:21:54
Doctor, look.
1:22:02
Looks like a nut
from a surgical retractor.
1:22:05
Yes. I heard a rumour that something
was missing after my operation.
1:22:10
Could I have a look at your stomach?
1:22:15
Yes, you've got a fresh scar there.
1:22:19
- This could be very serious.
- That's why I came.
1:22:22
I'm not the kind to go to the law,
1:22:25
but if anything happened,
I have so many relatives.
1:22:28
0h, it is possible, I suppose.
I don't remember the case offhand,
1:22:33
but I had a new theatre sister
about that time.
1:22:36
You're quite sure
it's bits of a retractor?
1:22:39
All right, then. I'll come in.
1:22:42
Get the theatre ready
for an emergency laparotomy.
1:22:45
0h, and Sparrow,
you were quite right to telephone me.
1:22:55
Yes, those are bits of a retractor,
all right.
1:22:59
Well, my man. We'll have to see
how many other parts are inside you.
