In his office Dr Hartley and his nurse are just clearing up after treating an emergency case, which has taken the doctor away from his family on this Christmas day. As they are preparing to leave the Doc sees a man in a car that the nurse tells him has been waiting for 2 hours. Dr Hartley knows who it is and why he has come.
