He wants the crew out of there, but Alison Newell has a very persuasive offer to make him cooperate. Working in front of the cameras isn't all it's made out to be: the needs of patients seem to come second to those of the film crew as Jack soon discovers when he's faced with a motor vehicle accident victim who turns out to have overdosed.
