It's okay. It's okay. It's okay.

Never surrenders...

All right?

Do it! Do it! Do it! Do it!

Do it! Do it! Do it! Do it!

Do it! Do it! Do it! Do it!

- Do it! Do it!

- Never surrenders!

Do it! Do it! Do it! Do it!

How is he?

- Not great.

- Well, have you spoken to a doctor?

Right, well, I'm gonna find someone.

Well, they think it might be

food poisoning.

He ate some out of date sausages.

Oh for god's sake!

Why didn't you throw them away?!

Well, I don't do the shopping.

- Mrs Ray?

- Yes?

Just a change of clothes.

Underwear. Toothbrush.

Tell Gracie I'll be home

as soon as I can.

No idea.

Okay.

Thanks, Mum.

It has nothing to do with

the sausage, Mrs Ray.

The cold hands and feet

are due to sepsis.

He has multiple organ failure.

We think the origin may have been

a chest infection.

Somehow the bug has got into

his bloodstream

and his immune system

has massively over-reacted.

We're talking about something

that is very, very serious.

Is he going to die?

9 out of 10 people who get this die

within 24 hours.

But your husband is still here.

If we move quickly,

maybe he can be the one we save.

There will have to be intervention.

There will have to be...

removal of the affected parts

of the body

beyond the spread.

Very tightly, so it doesn't all shoot open.

That's it - you've got it.

I'm going to go down there, Mum.

- Good idea.

- Can I come?

- Not today, sweetheart.

- But I've got a present for Daddy.

- What is it?

- It's a surprise.

He'll love that.

We'll save it for a special day.

But I want to see Daddy.

I know, sweetie.

I know.

How you doing, son?

- Dad?

- Happy Birthday.

You remembered...

You always remember

your kid's birthdays.

They're the happiest days of your life...

This is fun, eh, kids?

Happy birthday to you

Happy birthday to you

Happy birthday, dear Tom

Happy birthday to you

Where would you like

the camera, sir?

Put it... Over there. Go on.

Everything okay, kids?

He's amazing.

He tells such great stories.

Everybody loves him.

It must be great

having him for a dad.

Are you having a nice birthday, Tom?

We have to go further.

Well, what's left?

Parts of his face are necrotic.

Gangrenous.

More sepsis.

I don't understand.

His face is dying.

Breathe.

What's happening?!

It'll be fine.

Don't worry about anything.

Just... just concentrate

on the baby, okay?

Please... please find out.

Say hello to your son.

I need you to think of a name.

Nothing stupid, okay?

I'm not having Bruce.

Or Lennon.

What do you think to Freddy?

I think Freddy's nice.

Do you like Freddy?

Knew you would.

God, I miss you...

I miss you so much.
