0:03:01 > 0:03:03I was just trying to help.

0:03:03 > 0:03:07- Just leave me alone! - All right, please yourself.

0:03:22 > 0:03:23I don't eat carbs.

0:03:23 > 0:03:25All food contains carbs, Britney.

0:03:25 > 0:03:27No wonder you're so fat.

0:03:28 > 0:03:30- Apple?- 'Hi, this is Denise...'

0:03:30 > 0:03:33- Keep the doctor away! - What about the nurses?

0:03:34 > 0:03:38- He don't eat fruit. He goes mental. - Denise, you can't ignore me forever.

0:03:38 > 0:03:40Why not? You ignored us.

0:03:43 > 0:03:45Walk of shame, is it?

0:03:45 > 0:03:48- She was nothing to be ashamed of, I can assure you.- Nice one!

0:03:54 > 0:03:55- TESS:- That's fine.

0:03:57 > 0:04:00- One day, that's all you're getting. - Thank you, Tess.

0:04:00 > 0:04:02Where do you think you're going?

0:04:02 > 0:04:04- We're not wanted. - You're not going anywhere.

0:04:04 > 0:04:07Like your T-shirt, Spidey.

0:04:07 > 0:04:10Go web. Shazam! Hey, you seen the films?

0:04:12 > 0:04:16You're regressing, Dr Lyons. I didn't think that was possible.

0:04:16 > 0:04:20Well, I'm trying to practise my interpersonal relationships,

0:04:20 > 0:04:23but it's kind of difficult with myself stuck in cubicles.

0:04:23 > 0:04:27- No.- Oh, come on! I've been in there all week.

0:04:27 > 0:04:33No, N-O spells no. Pop that in the bin for me, please.

0:04:35 > 0:04:37He's having a laugh.

0:04:37 > 0:04:41Er, excuse me, please.

0:04:42 > 0:04:43Thank you.

0:05:22 > 0:05:23HE SCREAMS

0:05:23 > 0:05:26BABY CRIES

0:05:35 > 0:05:38BABY CRIES

0:05:45 > 0:05:47It's OK. I'm going to get you out!

0:05:47 > 0:05:49- OK.- Just try and stay calm! - All right.

0:05:58 > 0:06:01- SHE CRIES OUT - He's fine, he's fine.

0:06:01 > 0:06:02BABY CRIES

0:06:06 > 0:06:08You're fine.

0:06:12 > 0:06:17MUSIC: "Rude Boy" by Rihanna

0:06:17 > 0:06:19SHE WHISPERS

0:06:34 > 0:06:36Oi! Coffee man. What do you call this?

0:06:39 > 0:06:42MRSA, that's what it is. Lose the drapes or wear a shower cap.

0:06:42 > 0:06:44- Health and Safety.- You what?

0:06:44 > 0:06:47- I'm going to call Watchdog.- Get out.

0:06:53 > 0:06:56PHONE RINGS

0:06:56 > 0:06:57Mum?

0:06:57 > 0:07:01ANSWER MACHINE: 'This is Denise, I can't get to the phone...'

0:07:06 > 0:07:08Cheers, Nick.

0:07:08 > 0:07:10He's not going to make it, is he?

0:07:10 > 0:07:12Baby seems fine, sweetheart.

0:07:12 > 0:07:16We'll just get him to the hospital and get him checked over, OK?

0:07:16 > 0:07:18You should get that other man.

0:07:18 > 0:07:19What other man, darling?

0:07:19 > 0:07:22The tramp with the trolley.

0:07:22 > 0:07:23Jeff?

0:07:23 > 0:07:27Yeah... All right if I send Steve in with you?

0:07:27 > 0:07:30Steve, do you want to give Dixie a hand, mate?

0:07:44 > 0:07:47You must be the kid that came to the rescue?

0:07:47 > 0:07:49Real life hero, eh?

0:07:51 > 0:07:53Didn't see this man, no?

0:07:59 > 0:08:00OK.

0:08:01 > 0:08:04I'm Jeff, by the way.

0:08:04 > 0:08:06Rory.

0:08:08 > 0:08:11Let's get you in sharpish.

0:08:12 > 0:08:14You're not her type, trust me.

0:08:14 > 0:08:17Wrong end of pharmaceuticals.

0:08:17 > 0:08:18Linda.

0:08:20 > 0:08:21Nothing.

0:08:21 > 0:08:23Incoming RTC.

0:08:23 > 0:08:26I reckon you're jealous. Can't say I blame you.

0:08:26 > 0:08:28A sister like that...

0:08:28 > 0:08:31Doesn't seem fair she gets the brains AND the beauty.

0:08:31 > 0:08:33I'm kidding, you blatantly got the brains.

0:08:33 > 0:08:36Why are you here? You're supposed to be in cubicles.

0:08:36 > 0:08:40OK, this is 38-year-old April and newborn baby Jed.

0:08:40 > 0:08:44She's the driver of a car versus billboard RTC.

0:08:44 > 0:08:47Hello, April. I'm Mr Jordan. We're going to look after you.

0:08:47 > 0:08:50No loss of consciousness, ABC's all normal.

0:08:50 > 0:08:54She's got a facial laceration, dislocated left shoulder.

0:08:54 > 0:08:57OK, April, need you to wiggle your bum over to here, please.

0:08:57 > 0:09:00Sats of 97. Pulse of 85. BP's 125 systolic.

0:09:00 > 0:09:03Tried to immobilise her at the scene but she refused.

0:09:03 > 0:09:06- She's feeling a little delicate. - She's not the only one.

0:09:06 > 0:09:08Another one on its way.

0:09:08 > 0:09:10Thanks, Dixie. Tess, can we find Tom for me, please?

0:09:10 > 0:09:13We're going to need all hands on deck here.

0:09:13 > 0:09:15The little fella seems to be coping a bit better.

0:09:15 > 0:09:18His obs are all normal, no obvious injuries.

0:09:18 > 0:09:20Cracking set of lungs on him.

0:09:20 > 0:09:22Yeah, hasn't he just! Haven't you, eh?

0:09:22 > 0:09:24Yeah, he's fine.

0:09:24 > 0:09:27Crying's a good sign. Your baby's fine.

0:09:29 > 0:09:32April, just calm down for us, please.

0:09:32 > 0:09:34Does it hurt anywhere else apart from your arm?

0:09:34 > 0:09:37Abdo soft, non-tender. No obvious injuries.

0:09:37 > 0:09:39- Mummy's coming. - Any pain in your neck?

0:09:39 > 0:09:42I doubt it by the way she's moving. But with the distracting injury,

0:09:42 > 0:09:45I think we should still try and get some imaging.

0:09:45 > 0:09:49Can someone get Radiology, ask for imaging but without immobilising her.

0:09:49 > 0:09:50Can you feel me touching there?

0:09:50 > 0:09:53I was going to see the midwife - he hasn't been feeding well.

0:09:53 > 0:09:56- Can you answer the question, please? - Sorry.

0:09:56 > 0:09:59Get X-ray to confirm the dislocation, Dr Lyons.

0:09:59 > 0:10:01OK, April, listen to me.

0:10:01 > 0:10:04We have to sedate you to manipulate your shoulder back into joint.

0:10:04 > 0:10:08You've got a cut on your forehead that'll need stitches. You're fine.

0:10:08 > 0:10:12- I'm not taking medication. I'm breastfeeding. - We can get an expressing kit.

0:10:12 > 0:10:15He'll be in university before he's had his breakfast(!)

0:10:15 > 0:10:20- You can give him a bottle. - I haven't established breastfeeding, the bottle will confuse him.

0:10:20 > 0:10:24Linda? I need to borrow you.

0:10:24 > 0:10:25Can you...?

0:10:27 > 0:10:28Er, Linda?

0:10:28 > 0:10:33You might want to change your top before you come back to work.

0:10:33 > 0:10:36APRIL CRIES OUT

0:10:36 > 0:10:38Listen, I've laboured alone for 72 hours

0:10:38 > 0:10:42and squeezed a baby out of a hole the size of a walnut without any pain relief.

0:10:42 > 0:10:46I'm hormonal, tired and I've just been pulled out of a smashed car.

0:10:46 > 0:10:49You do not want to get between me and my baby.

0:10:49 > 0:10:53Dr Lyons, take your patient through to Cubicles, please.

0:10:53 > 0:10:55Stay on the bed, April.

0:10:55 > 0:10:59GCS 15. All obs are normal. He's a little shaken

0:10:59 > 0:11:02and he's been sick, but expected to make a full recovery.

0:11:02 > 0:11:06- Oh, and he's a Spurs fan.- Yeah? That condition's probably terminal.

0:11:06 > 0:11:09Hi, Rory. I'm Tom.

0:11:09 > 0:11:11This is Scarlett.

0:11:11 > 0:11:14Do you know how you got the bruise on your head?

0:11:14 > 0:11:16Think I bumped it on the roof of the car.

0:11:16 > 0:11:19And you've no other pain except in your hands?

0:11:19 > 0:11:22Did he black out at all?

0:11:22 > 0:11:24Not that I'm aware of, no.

0:11:24 > 0:11:25Right, Rory. Catch you later.

0:11:27 > 0:11:33You're a Spurs fan? Ouch. Might need an isolation bay.

0:11:33 > 0:11:37- You're not a Gooner, are you? - No, Liverpool.

0:11:37 > 0:11:39So at least we have Robbie Keane in common.

0:11:41 > 0:11:44Let's just keep him under observation.

0:11:44 > 0:11:48Can you give his hands a clean and move him into CDU where it's a bit quieter?

0:11:48 > 0:11:49I'll get his mum in.

0:11:55 > 0:11:58- Apparently, they were all wrapped up in it.- So, where are they now?

0:11:58 > 0:12:01No trouble - your words.

0:12:02 > 0:12:05TOILET FLUSHES

0:12:06 > 0:12:10Little man on the door wearing trousers.

0:12:16 > 0:12:18They can't have gone far.

0:12:18 > 0:12:22If you don't sort this out quickly, I'm going to have to send you home.

0:12:22 > 0:12:25I'm sorry, Linda, but it's my job on the line, too.

0:12:25 > 0:12:27On our way, Control. ETA five minutes.

0:12:27 > 0:12:30- All right?- You haven't seen a teenage girl and a small boy?

0:12:30 > 0:12:33- Both wrapped in toilet roll. - Sorry, love.

0:12:33 > 0:12:36Someone's been on the waccy baccy.

0:12:37 > 0:12:38Cheers.

0:12:42 > 0:12:44Does this have instructions?

0:12:52 > 0:12:54BRITNEY: Just lie still, will you?

0:12:54 > 0:12:58All right, stand back, everyone. Shocking, three, two, one.

0:12:58 > 0:13:00LAUGHTER

0:13:00 > 0:13:02You two all right in here?

0:13:02 > 0:13:05Do you want me to start chest compressions?

0:13:05 > 0:13:07No. You're just a nurse.

0:13:07 > 0:13:12Get me blood, six litres of C minus. And hot chocolate with marshmallows.

0:13:12 > 0:13:14Sounds like my kind of hospital.

0:13:14 > 0:13:16What the hell do you think you're doing?

0:13:16 > 0:13:20I should have known you'd be in on it. Off the bed now.

0:13:20 > 0:13:22Go.

0:13:26 > 0:13:27HE MAKES HONKING NOISE

0:13:27 > 0:13:29Get in.

0:13:31 > 0:13:34I thought I asked you to stay in this room.

0:13:34 > 0:13:35You didn't ask us nothing.

0:13:35 > 0:13:38You stuck your finger in my face and talked down to me.

0:13:38 > 0:13:40- All right. OK. - You disrespected me.

0:13:42 > 0:13:45Sorry, Snoop Dogg, did I damage your rep?!

0:13:45 > 0:13:50This is a hospital, not a street corner. There's very sick people and it's my job to look after them.

0:13:50 > 0:13:53Mum's sick. Why don't you look after her?

0:13:53 > 0:13:55Bet you're a rubbish nurse.

0:13:55 > 0:13:57Leave this room again and I'll incinerate it.

0:13:57 > 0:14:00That's it. Walk away. Do what you always do.

0:14:09 > 0:14:11Hello, mate.

0:14:13 > 0:14:16- My name's Dixie.- Leave me alone.

0:14:16 > 0:14:21Right. Cheerful chappie, aren't you?

0:14:22 > 0:14:26- This looks nasty. How did it happen?- Fire scratch.

0:14:26 > 0:14:30It's just a trolley. Help the others first.

0:14:30 > 0:14:33Right. I'm glad we cleared that one up(!)

0:14:33 > 0:14:36Jeff, a bit of help here wouldn't go amiss.

0:14:36 > 0:14:39Can you tell me your name, sweetheart?

0:14:39 > 0:14:41Duncan?

0:14:42 > 0:14:45Found his tobacco tin this morning.

0:14:45 > 0:14:49The accident half a mile away, three people injured, ring any bells?

0:14:49 > 0:14:50Ding ding.

0:14:52 > 0:14:54Right, Duncan.

0:14:54 > 0:14:56It's stressful enough just being in hospital.

0:14:56 > 0:15:01Now we have to have the right change even though we don't know how long we'll be here.

0:15:01 > 0:15:04- Sorry, what's your name again? - Brothwick. B-R-O-T...

0:15:04 > 0:15:06Are you Rory's mum?

0:15:06 > 0:15:10I brought him grapes. I don't know why. It's what people do, isn't it?

0:15:10 > 0:15:13They've probably got pips in. He doesn't like pips.

0:15:13 > 0:15:17- Sorry. How is he? - I can take you straight through.

0:15:17 > 0:15:20Right. This is Duncan Jessup. Age unknown.

0:15:20 > 0:15:23He was found propping up a headstone in the cemetery.

0:15:23 > 0:15:25Won't give us any medical history.

0:15:25 > 0:15:27Obs are all normal. Got a shard of glass in his hip.

0:15:27 > 0:15:30Get me a litre of crystal meth.

0:15:31 > 0:15:35Right, if you just come with me? No, no, no!

0:15:35 > 0:15:37With me, please.

0:15:37 > 0:15:39Do you want to sit back in the chair, Duncan?

0:15:39 > 0:15:42Makes life a little bit easier, doesn't it?

0:15:45 > 0:15:46Visitor for you.

0:15:48 > 0:15:50Hello, darling.

0:15:50 > 0:15:54Your son was exceptionally brave today. You should be very proud.

0:15:56 > 0:16:00- Won't let me touch him these days. - That's teenagers for you.

0:16:00 > 0:16:02I'm Tom, emergency paediatric doctor.

0:16:04 > 0:16:05Right. Let's get you home.

0:16:05 > 0:16:11I'm afraid we need to keep him in for a bit. He needs observation for his head injury.

0:16:11 > 0:16:13- The police will probably have a chat.- Police?

0:16:13 > 0:16:18Don't worry. They probably just want a statement about the accident this morning.

0:16:19 > 0:16:21- Tom?- Mm-hm?

0:16:23 > 0:16:25Why didn't you mention this?

0:16:39 > 0:16:42Scarlett, would you take Mrs Brothwick for a cup of tea, please,

0:16:42 > 0:16:45- while I finish patching up Rory? - Do you want to follow me?

0:16:52 > 0:16:55So - do you want to tell me how you got those?

0:16:59 > 0:17:00BABY GRIZZLES

0:17:00 > 0:17:02This won't work unless you relax.

0:17:02 > 0:17:05I need to feed him. I need to feed my baby.

0:17:05 > 0:17:08Shh. Be quiet, relax.

0:17:08 > 0:17:10It's OK, April.

0:17:10 > 0:17:12SHE BREATHES HEAVILY

0:17:14 > 0:17:16Let's try again.

0:17:16 > 0:17:20Why is it so inconceivable to him that I might not want to follow his advice?

0:17:20 > 0:17:24- Actually there is an alternative. - Leave her like that forever?

0:17:24 > 0:17:28- No, that's not...- Or admit you to Ortho who'll put you to sleep.

0:17:28 > 0:17:30Then who'll look after your baby? Nut job.

0:17:30 > 0:17:33How are we doing in here?

0:17:34 > 0:17:36Excuse us a moment, please.

0:17:40 > 0:17:47- Right. Is there a problem?- When did a desire to do what's best for your baby make you mentally imbalanced?

0:17:47 > 0:17:51You saw what she was like on Entonox. There's no way she'll ever be relaxed enough

0:17:51 > 0:17:56for me to reduce her shoulder without sedation. You speak woman. Make her see sense.

0:17:56 > 0:18:00Mr Jordan, perhaps we could use local anaesthetic into the joint?

0:18:00 > 0:18:03- I saw someone do it at St James'. - That's a very good idea.

0:18:03 > 0:18:06- Get her prepped.- Excuse me, Linda?

0:18:06 > 0:18:07BREAKING GLASS

0:18:07 > 0:18:09I'm sorry. If you'd excuse me...

0:18:09 > 0:18:14Yeah, go. Get her prepped, Dr Lyons. Move her to CDU where we have more space, please.

0:18:14 > 0:18:17Perhaps your attention might be better focused elsewhere?

0:18:17 > 0:18:19I'll sort it, Tess.

0:18:21 > 0:18:26More of a cricket man myself. You a cricket fan, Rory?

0:18:26 > 0:18:30- No. Goes on forever. - I'm always in it for the long game.

0:18:33 > 0:18:36I was heating up some milk. The mug got too hot

0:18:36 > 0:18:39- and I dropped it.- Across both shoulders on two separate occasions?

0:18:39 > 0:18:41What did your parents say?

0:18:42 > 0:18:45My dad's dead. He was a police officer,

0:18:45 > 0:18:48- he died when I was three. - I'm sorry to hear that.

0:18:49 > 0:18:54He was, er, killed in a bank robbery trying to stop this woman from getting shot.

0:18:54 > 0:18:57The robber had this clown mask on.

0:18:57 > 0:19:02As he went to get his gun, my dad dived in front of her like Brad Friedel saving a penalty.

0:19:02 > 0:19:07The bullet went pzz-whoosh straight through his vest into his left ventricle.

0:19:07 > 0:19:11He won loads of medals. There were bagpipes and crows at his funeral

0:19:11 > 0:19:15but it was too upsetting for children so I didn't go.

0:19:15 > 0:19:17How do you get on with your mum?

0:19:17 > 0:19:21- Must be tough bringing you up on her own.- She's not on her own.

0:19:21 > 0:19:25She's got a new boyfriend. Fat bloke. His name's Ralph.

0:19:25 > 0:19:28He wears a duffle coat and supports Luton Town, so...

0:19:28 > 0:19:30TOM CHUCKLES

0:19:30 > 0:19:35Oh, no! Well, it always takes time to trust a new player.

0:19:35 > 0:19:38But you know, he can never replace your dad.

0:19:38 > 0:19:43Don't talk about my dad! You don't know anything about him!

0:19:46 > 0:19:50Bearded fart about yay high, seven sheets to the wind, stinks of pee.

0:19:50 > 0:19:52Seen him? No, Obviously not.

0:20:04 > 0:20:06Don't I recognise you from somewhere?

0:20:09 > 0:20:11- What's the matter?- Nothing.

0:20:13 > 0:20:16I used to look after a platoon of boys not much older than you.

0:20:16 > 0:20:19I can smell fear a mile off.

0:20:19 > 0:20:21YOU were a soldier?

0:20:28 > 0:20:31You got any medals?

0:20:32 > 0:20:36Would that impress you? A bit of silver and a ribbon?

0:20:37 > 0:20:42Bravery's not something you show, son. It's something you hide inside.

0:20:43 > 0:20:47So...you ever killed anyone?

0:20:48 > 0:20:49I've watched kids die.

0:20:55 > 0:20:58I've held their hands when half their chest were missing

0:20:58 > 0:21:01and I promised them everything was going to be OK.

0:21:03 > 0:21:06Nothing brave about it, son.

0:21:06 > 0:21:10Nothing heroic. It's just ugly.

0:21:11 > 0:21:13Ugly and pointless.

0:21:16 > 0:21:20Look at me now, eh? Prison would be a blessing.

0:21:20 > 0:21:22Prison?

0:21:22 > 0:21:26At least I'd be warm, wouldnae be hungry.

0:21:44 > 0:21:46- Rory Brothwick? - Yeah, he's out front.

0:21:46 > 0:21:49There's a bird outside in a silver car blocking the exit.

0:21:49 > 0:21:52She says she won't move until she speaks to a doctor.

0:21:52 > 0:21:54You said he pulled a woman out of a car.

0:21:54 > 0:21:56Was the car on fire, do you know?

0:21:56 > 0:21:58No. There was a trolley on fire in the road,

0:21:58 > 0:22:01belonged to some homeless guy but the car never went up, no.

0:22:01 > 0:22:05Thought as much. Can you phone Rory's GP and ask him to fax over his medical records?

0:22:05 > 0:22:08You'll deal with the bird in the silver car, yeah?

0:22:08 > 0:22:11Yeah, sure(!) Cos I've nowt else better to do, have I?

0:22:11 > 0:22:15I thought it might be good for him to have a man around. Lovely guy.

0:22:15 > 0:22:20- Made it all a million times worse. - Made what a million times worse?

0:22:23 > 0:22:26Mrs Brothwick?

0:22:26 > 0:22:29Has Rory's behaviour changed at all recently?

0:22:29 > 0:22:32He's 16. It's like living with Satan.

0:22:32 > 0:22:34SHE CHUCKLES

0:22:34 > 0:22:36It happened overnight. I woke up

0:22:36 > 0:22:39and he was all acne and hair and, "Shut up and die, Mum."

0:22:39 > 0:22:41Yeah...

0:22:41 > 0:22:43Anything apart from puberty?

0:22:43 > 0:22:46I noticed he started to lock the bathroom door.

0:22:46 > 0:22:49I thought he was just self-conscious about his body changing.

0:22:49 > 0:22:52So you've no idea how he came by the scars?

0:22:53 > 0:22:55A rough tackle maybe?

0:22:55 > 0:22:58He's always getting bashed about on the football field.

0:22:59 > 0:23:01You don't get burns from playing football.

0:23:05 > 0:23:07How about I get you that cup of tea?

0:23:12 > 0:23:15- Don't you have my patient to find? - Your X-rays, Doctor.

0:23:15 > 0:23:18- Right.- Ah, the wanderer returns.

0:23:20 > 0:23:23Mr Jessup, you really shouldn't be up and about... Ugh!

0:23:24 > 0:23:28You know, there is a toilet just round the corner or you could ask for a bottle.

0:23:28 > 0:23:30Revolting man.

0:23:30 > 0:23:34Can we get him 20 mg of chlordiazepoxide and a couple of vials of Pabrinex, please?

0:23:34 > 0:23:38- Can't keep me here.- Regrettably, we have to. It's called a duty of care.

0:23:38 > 0:23:42- Duty of care, my... Argh!- Once we see how deep the glass has penetrated

0:23:42 > 0:23:44we'll stitch you up and get you out of here,

0:23:44 > 0:23:47assuming you don't have other injuries?

0:23:48 > 0:23:50I'll take that as a no.

0:23:54 > 0:23:56Thank you.

0:24:01 > 0:24:02Ooh, nasty.

0:24:02 > 0:24:05No way his urinary tract could have survived that.

0:24:05 > 0:24:07I've never seen anything like it.

0:24:07 > 0:24:09Poor bloke must be incontinent.

0:24:11 > 0:24:12What the hell happened to him?

0:24:15 > 0:24:18It's a slightly less well-known procedure but the good news is

0:24:18 > 0:24:23that the Lignocaine won't get into your milk so you can breastfeed as soon as we've finished.

0:24:23 > 0:24:28Ah, there you go. Did you hear that? And how's the feeding going?

0:24:28 > 0:24:33- I'm not very good at it.- It's early days. It'll get easier, I promise.

0:24:33 > 0:24:37- Dr Lyons, 10 mg... - One percent Lignocaine, I know.

0:24:37 > 0:24:40- I'll get it in a sec. - OK, so Dr Lyons,

0:24:40 > 0:24:45let's inject the Lignocaine 2 cm inferior to the lateral edge of the acromion

0:24:45 > 0:24:48into the glenohumeral joint. Just there.

0:24:48 > 0:24:54- Sorry to interrupt. Linda, there's a lady asking for you at reception. Sounds urgent.- It'll be Denise.

0:24:54 > 0:24:56Sharp scratch coming up.

0:24:57 > 0:25:01Mrs Brothwick is in the relatives' room. She's holding back on something.

0:25:01 > 0:25:05Turns out Rory was seen at St James' last November

0:25:05 > 0:25:09with minor burns from rescuing an elderly lady from a fire on a bus.

0:25:09 > 0:25:15And before that for rescuing a cat from a fire in a wheelie bin.

0:25:15 > 0:25:18Seems like a bit of a coincidence. What about the burns today?

0:25:18 > 0:25:22Well, that's what I'm about to find out.

0:25:28 > 0:25:30Rory?

0:25:32 > 0:25:35I've spoken to one of our paramedics from the crash this morning.

0:25:35 > 0:25:37They told me the car wasn't on fire

0:25:37 > 0:25:40and yet somehow you've burned your hands.

0:25:40 > 0:25:44There was, however, a trolley on fire at the scene.

0:25:44 > 0:25:47- It belonged to a tramp. - He's not a tramp.

0:25:50 > 0:25:53So - why DID you do it?

0:25:54 > 0:25:56Did you think it might be funny?

0:25:56 > 0:25:59Make you feel in control?

0:25:59 > 0:26:02Adrenaline rush?

0:26:02 > 0:26:04No!

0:26:04 > 0:26:08I tried to get him away. There was nothing I could do.

0:26:08 > 0:26:11He stumbled into the middle of the road and the car came out of nowhere.

0:26:11 > 0:26:17- You set fire to the trolley, didn't you?- I was trying to rescue him.

0:26:32 > 0:26:37- Noel said I might find you out here. Thought you'd given up.- I have.

0:26:37 > 0:26:39Everything OK?

0:26:39 > 0:26:44It wasn't Denise. It was one of Britney and Joe's social workers.

0:26:44 > 0:26:47Denise has been remanded in custody.

0:26:48 > 0:26:53- What for?- She's handed herself in after assaulting a social worker.

0:26:53 > 0:26:55Apparently she was already on a suspended sentence.

0:26:57 > 0:26:59Tess, they reckon she'll serve time.

0:26:59 > 0:27:04And get this. She wants to know if I'll take the kids in permanently.

0:27:04 > 0:27:07Gave me all this literature.

0:27:07 > 0:27:11The Best Interests Of The Child. Treating Children As Individuals.

0:27:11 > 0:27:15What Do Children Want? Well, I have absolutely no idea.

0:27:18 > 0:27:22That's a lot to take in. You need time.

0:27:24 > 0:27:25Yeah.

0:27:30 > 0:27:32Motorcycle accident?

0:27:34 > 0:27:36Drunk and fell out of a window?

0:27:37 > 0:27:39I'm guessing you don't ski.

0:27:39 > 0:27:44No time. Not with all the golf and recreational yachting.

0:27:44 > 0:27:49- Excuse me, Doc. Sorry. The police are here.- Send them in!

0:27:49 > 0:27:53- They'll have to wait. I'm doing important medical stuff.- Stuff?

0:27:53 > 0:27:59- Yes, stuff.- Oh, right you are. Oh, and Mr Jessup's ex-wife is here.

0:28:00 > 0:28:03Well, when I say here, she's...

0:28:12 > 0:28:16You know what? I get the message load and clear, love.

0:28:16 > 0:28:20I don't like you either. You're an attention-seeking little brat.

0:28:20 > 0:28:23No wonder your mum needed to get off her head.

0:28:27 > 0:28:29That was harsh.

0:28:29 > 0:28:32Yeah, well, she gives as good as she gets.

0:28:32 > 0:28:35You're the adult, remember?

0:28:35 > 0:28:41Oh, says the 27-year-old who can quote the entire film script of Spider-Man!

0:28:41 > 0:28:43- I'm just saying.- Yeah, well, don't.

0:28:44 > 0:28:48You want to push her away, Linda, you go for it, yeah?

0:28:48 > 0:28:50Just trust me. Been there, done it.

0:28:57 > 0:28:58Mrs Jessup?

0:29:04 > 0:29:07I left a message for you earlier. I'm your husband's doctor.

0:29:08 > 0:29:11What happened to him?

0:29:11 > 0:29:14Landmine. Helmand Province.

0:29:16 > 0:29:22- I should have thought of that. - Captain. Second Battalion, Princess of Wales' Royal Regiment.

0:29:22 > 0:29:24Right. Well, as you were.

0:29:24 > 0:29:27Actually, not as you were. You can't park here.

0:29:27 > 0:29:29Is he going to die?

0:29:29 > 0:29:31Not today, but if he carries on drinking...

0:29:31 > 0:29:34That's not my problem any more.

0:29:34 > 0:29:37If I'd known "for worse" meant three bottles of whisky a day

0:29:37 > 0:29:42and trying to strangle me in my sleep, I'd never have married him in the first place.

0:29:42 > 0:29:44Why did you turn up?

0:29:44 > 0:29:47I thought he might have changed. Should have known better.

0:29:47 > 0:29:49Er, Doc?

0:29:51 > 0:29:54Go and get some help, Mac. We need a trolley.

0:29:55 > 0:29:59Rory will need to go down to the station to make a formal statement.

0:29:59 > 0:30:00Will they press charges?

0:30:00 > 0:30:04It's a very serious offence.

0:30:04 > 0:30:07I just don't understand why he would do something like that.

0:30:07 > 0:30:10He's a good kid really. He doesn't belong in prison.

0:30:10 > 0:30:14That's what I thought. So I've asked someone from CAMHS

0:30:14 > 0:30:17- to come and review him.- CAMHS? - Child And Adolescent Mental Health Services.

0:30:17 > 0:30:21I think it's possible Rory might be suffering

0:30:21 > 0:30:23from something called hero syndrome.

0:30:23 > 0:30:27He's starting fires, so he can then take the credit for rescuing people.

0:30:27 > 0:30:31The good news is, if we can prove he has a psychological condition

0:30:31 > 0:30:34then the police are less likely to press charges.

0:30:34 > 0:30:38So it's an attention-seeking thing?

0:30:38 > 0:30:42Um, I think your new relationship might have been the trigger.

0:30:45 > 0:30:48Subconsciously he's just trying to rescue his dad.

0:30:51 > 0:30:53No.

0:30:54 > 0:30:56No, that can't be right.

0:31:04 > 0:31:11His dad didn't die. He left us for another woman.

0:31:15 > 0:31:17But Rory couldn't accept it.

0:31:20 > 0:31:25He made up a story about how his daddy died a hero.

0:31:27 > 0:31:28He repeated it over and over...

0:31:31 > 0:31:34..till it got to the point

0:31:34 > 0:31:37where I didn't have the heart to correct him any more.

0:31:44 > 0:31:48Your blood pressure's low, but that's to be expected now we've dealt with your pain.

0:31:52 > 0:31:56- Bad day?- At least I didn't drive through a billboard.

0:31:59 > 0:32:03You look tired. You should try and get some sleep.

0:32:03 > 0:32:06I need to try and feed him again.

0:32:06 > 0:32:08Do you want me to call a midwife for you?

0:32:13 > 0:32:16You sure there's no-one else I can ring?

0:32:16 > 0:32:20No, we separated before I knew I was pregnant.

0:32:20 > 0:32:23Then my fingers swelled up so much I can't get it off.

0:32:28 > 0:32:30Oh, I'm so sorry.

0:32:30 > 0:32:35It's my version of mizuko kuyo.

0:32:35 > 0:32:38It's a Japanese thing.

0:32:39 > 0:32:44Mizuko means water child, or miscarried baby.

0:32:46 > 0:32:51People say I can't have lost them because they were never really mine.

0:33:16 > 0:33:19Acute-on-chronic subdural.

0:33:22 > 0:33:26There's no mass effect yet but the neurosurgeons will need to see him.

0:33:26 > 0:33:28He may need that drained sooner rather than later.

0:33:31 > 0:33:33How far the mighty have fallen.

0:33:35 > 0:33:37It explains his fitting anyway.

0:33:43 > 0:33:45I've spoken to Maternity...

0:33:45 > 0:33:47April?

0:33:47 > 0:33:50April! Can I get some help in here?

0:33:52 > 0:33:56She's barely responsive and tachycardic with a pulse of about 120.

0:33:56 > 0:34:02April, can you hear me? It could be a bleed from the trauma. She was fine when we assessed her though.

0:34:03 > 0:34:05Where's the baby?

0:34:08 > 0:34:12- OK...- Let's get her to Resus. Can you page Mr Jordan, please?

0:34:12 > 0:34:16- Where's her baby? - I took him up to Maternity.

0:34:22 > 0:34:25There were no injuries when you did the primary survey?

0:34:25 > 0:34:29- She seemed fine. - April? April, can you hear me?

0:34:29 > 0:34:31Check her pupils, please, Tess.

0:34:31 > 0:34:35April, squeeze my fingers for me. Squeeze them.

0:34:35 > 0:34:37Pupils equal, reacting normally.

0:34:37 > 0:34:41Good. Good breath sounds throughout. What are her obs?

0:34:41 > 0:34:45Pulse 120 regular, BP 80 over 55.

0:34:45 > 0:34:49No major bleeding. No sign of a major head trauma. What's going on here?

0:34:49 > 0:34:54- BM's only three.- April, have you had anything to eat today?

0:34:54 > 0:34:58- No.- OK, let's give her 250 ml of 10% dextrose, please.

0:35:00 > 0:35:04Hypoglycaemia wouldn't explain a collapse with hypotension.

0:35:04 > 0:35:06What else do we know about her?

0:35:09 > 0:35:15- Come on, people! - She seemed stressed. - Yeah, about feeding the baby.

0:35:15 > 0:35:16Right, we do this again properly.

0:35:16 > 0:35:20If there's no improvement we have to run her through the CT scan.

0:35:20 > 0:35:22Phone Maternity, check her birth history.

0:35:22 > 0:35:26Let them know the baby might be staying a little while longer.

0:35:26 > 0:35:30Get me the FAST scanner, please. April...?

0:35:36 > 0:35:38So you took the baby to Maternity, did you?

0:35:38 > 0:35:42What was I supposed to say? My niece stole him to wind me up?

0:35:46 > 0:35:47My keys are missing.

0:35:47 > 0:35:51I've got to get back. Five minutes. If Mr Jordan asks, I'm telling him.

0:35:54 > 0:35:56Jeff!

0:35:56 > 0:35:59Jeff, I could do with a hand here, please, mate.

0:36:02 > 0:36:03Stay there.

0:36:05 > 0:36:07Come on.

0:36:13 > 0:36:15Get in here, quick.

0:36:22 > 0:36:27- Jeff!- Yes, all right, keep your hair on.

0:36:27 > 0:36:30I'm running all the way. Running all the way.

0:36:30 > 0:36:32I don't want to talk about Dad!

0:36:32 > 0:36:33SHOUTING

0:36:33 > 0:36:40Rory! Rory! I want to help you but I need you to calm down.

0:36:40 > 0:36:42I just want my dad.

0:36:42 > 0:36:45I know, but think about it like this.

0:36:45 > 0:36:47Robbie Keane.

0:36:48 > 0:36:51He was your best player, wasn't he?

0:36:51 > 0:36:56But the club is always bigger than one man.

0:36:56 > 0:37:00But then suddenly he leaves you, goes to play for Liverpool,

0:37:00 > 0:37:05and in doing so, everyone forgot about the players that mattered.

0:37:07 > 0:37:11And it was up to them to pick up the pieces.

0:37:11 > 0:37:13You see, my point is, Rory...

0:37:15 > 0:37:18..your mum, she may not always win the Cup

0:37:18 > 0:37:20but she will always be with you.

0:37:20 > 0:37:23Am I supposed to be the club?

0:37:23 > 0:37:25Yeah.

0:37:32 > 0:37:34Mum!

0:37:34 > 0:37:37It's all right. It's all right, darling.

0:37:41 > 0:37:48- Lindsay Lohan?- No.- Lady Gaga?- Nah. - Duchess of doo-da?- No!

0:37:48 > 0:37:51- All of the above? - No, they're all too skinny.

0:37:51 > 0:37:56Well, you know, a few bacon sarnies. That's the trouble with you women.

0:37:56 > 0:37:58Too fussy.

0:37:59 > 0:38:01BABY CRIES

0:38:08 > 0:38:11- Hello there.- Linda!

0:38:11 > 0:38:13Might have something that belongs to you.

0:38:21 > 0:38:24..pH 7.1. Base excess minus 10.

0:38:24 > 0:38:28Bicarbonate 15. Lactate five.

0:38:28 > 0:38:30Metabolic acidosis. Hypovolemia.

0:38:30 > 0:38:33No free fluid on the FAST. No pneumothorax.

0:38:33 > 0:38:36- Perhaps something went wrong with the procedure?- No.

0:38:36 > 0:38:40Local anaesthetic toxicity wouldn't do this. What did Maternity say? Where's Linda?

0:38:40 > 0:38:45- She got called away by Dr Keogh. - Charming.- I spoke to Maternity.

0:38:45 > 0:38:50- Apparently there was quite a bit of bleeding after delivery but otherwise normal.- Right.

0:38:50 > 0:38:54Sodium low, 124. Potassium is a bit high.

0:38:54 > 0:38:57- Hypoglycaemia. - Should I be contacting CT?

0:38:57 > 0:38:59So she bled heavily at childbirth

0:38:59 > 0:39:02and she's had trouble feeding her baby?

0:39:02 > 0:39:05April, has your baby lost weight?

0:39:05 > 0:39:07I can check.

0:39:09 > 0:39:11Several ounces.

0:39:15 > 0:39:17This isn't the trauma. This is Sheehan's.

0:39:17 > 0:39:21Addison's, secondary to Sheehan's syndrome.

0:39:22 > 0:39:27April, listen. Because you bled heavily when you gave birth

0:39:27 > 0:39:32there was a restricted blood flow to the pituitary gland, so you haven't been producing enough hormones.

0:39:32 > 0:39:36Which is why you're struggling to produce enough breast milk.

0:39:36 > 0:39:41Today's trauma meant the body was struggling to cope which caused the collapse.

0:39:41 > 0:39:44- So it's not my fault? - No, it's not your fault.

0:39:44 > 0:39:47Let's give her 200 mg hydrocortisone, continue the IV fluids.

0:39:47 > 0:39:51She'll need a thyroxine replacement. You should get on to intensive care.

0:39:51 > 0:39:55Right, April, we'll have to keep you in for a while

0:39:55 > 0:39:58and you will have to use formulated milk to feed your baby.

0:39:58 > 0:40:01But apart from that, you'll be fine.

0:40:03 > 0:40:06I don't care what you say. I'm not giving him back.

0:40:06 > 0:40:10But he's hungry. We should take him inside and get him something to eat.

0:40:10 > 0:40:12We're not going anywhere with you.

0:40:17 > 0:40:20It's OK. You're safe now.

0:40:20 > 0:40:24I'll look after you and get a job and you, me and Joe,

0:40:24 > 0:40:27we'll go to the zoo and eat ice cream

0:40:27 > 0:40:30and do all the stuff normal families do.

0:40:30 > 0:40:34- No-one'll hurt us ever again. - You make it look so easy.

0:40:34 > 0:40:37It's not hard. You just cuddle them.

0:40:37 > 0:40:42You know, when you were that size, your mum couldn't put you down without you crying.

0:40:42 > 0:40:46She had to sleep sitting up with you under her armpit.

0:40:46 > 0:40:50Looked so uncomfortable, but it never bothered her.

0:40:50 > 0:40:52That was the happiest I'd ever seen her.

0:40:52 > 0:40:55Well, why did she leave us?

0:40:59 > 0:41:03But I know that this baby's mum doesn't want to leave him.

0:41:03 > 0:41:08If little Jed could talk he'd want to be with his mum, wouldn't he?

0:41:12 > 0:41:16- When can I see my baby? - Soon, definitely.

0:41:20 > 0:41:24Ah, Captain Jessup. I'm glad you could join us.

0:41:25 > 0:41:28- Has she gone?- I think so, sir.

0:41:31 > 0:41:36I'm afraid you've a bleed on your brain so we'll have to admit you.

0:41:40 > 0:41:43Well, if there are no further questions.

0:41:44 > 0:41:48- Sorry, someone to see you.- Thank you.

0:41:54 > 0:41:57Two years and I don't hear a thing.

0:41:57 > 0:42:02I sat out there in the car trying to think of three good reasons why I shouldn't drive off.

0:42:03 > 0:42:05Couldn't think of any.

0:42:08 > 0:42:11- I wrote to you.- What?

0:42:13 > 0:42:16- I wrote to you every day. - I didn't receive any letters.

0:42:17 > 0:42:19I never sent them.

0:42:21 > 0:42:24So where are they now, these letters?

0:42:24 > 0:42:25They were in my trolley.

0:42:28 > 0:42:30I think I set fire to them.

0:42:35 > 0:42:37He's all yours.

0:42:51 > 0:42:53BIG MAC: Go on, admit it.

0:42:53 > 0:42:56Underneath that gruff exterior you've actually got a heart.

0:42:56 > 0:42:58Don't be ridiculous.

0:42:58 > 0:43:02- Ah, Dolittle.- Poppins. What's that?

0:43:02 > 0:43:05Quinoa, butternut squash and alfalfa salad

0:43:05 > 0:43:08with a drizzle of balsamic and pomegranate molasses.

0:43:12 > 0:43:15- How's your tramp? - He's an ex-serviceman actually.

0:43:15 > 0:43:19- You know, it wasn't his fault.- What wasn't?- The accident this morning.

0:43:19 > 0:43:23My patient set fire to the trolley. He was just in the wrong place at the wrong time.

0:43:28 > 0:43:31Good news, Krusty. The crash wasn't your fault.

0:43:32 > 0:43:34Did you hear what I said?

0:43:39 > 0:43:41I stepped on a landmine

0:43:41 > 0:43:44but because it was laid by the Soviets and not the Taliban

0:43:44 > 0:43:47I wasn't entitled to any compensation.

0:43:50 > 0:43:53I stopped believing in justice a long time ago.

0:43:53 > 0:43:57So you're planning to rot in jail with a big beard in a pool of your own urine?

0:43:57 > 0:43:59Aye.

0:43:59 > 0:44:03You might have to reappraise that remarkably aspirational life plan

0:44:03 > 0:44:06because a young boy's already come forward and taken the rap.

0:44:09 > 0:44:13OK? You trod on a landmine. Boo-hoo. You're still alive.

0:44:13 > 0:44:19I could organise for Urology to see you after the neurosurgeons have reviewed you.

0:44:19 > 0:44:21I could fix you up with a long-term catheter.

0:44:21 > 0:44:24I could refer you to our chronic pain management team

0:44:24 > 0:44:26or try to find you a place in a homeless shelter.

0:44:26 > 0:44:30I could, in short, assist you on the road to recovery.

0:44:30 > 0:44:31But I don't want to waste my time.

0:44:35 > 0:44:40For reasons I can't fathom, your wife still seems to harbour feelings for you.

0:44:40 > 0:44:43Don't you think it's time you stopped feeling sorry for yourself

0:44:43 > 0:44:46and started thinking of others for a change?

0:45:04 > 0:45:08Lenny, what you said earlier

0:45:08 > 0:45:12about me being too harsh on the kids, you were right.

0:45:12 > 0:45:17Apology accepted. Perhaps whilst we're at it I should...

0:45:17 > 0:45:18Apology accepted.

0:45:21 > 0:45:23Where are they anyway?

0:45:23 > 0:45:26Big Mac's taken them on a tour of the morgue.

0:45:26 > 0:45:28Genius.

0:45:28 > 0:45:32What was it like growing up in care?

0:45:36 > 0:45:39There was no Aunt May or Uncle Ben.

0:46:04 > 0:46:06Thank you.

0:46:15 > 0:46:16Just a sec.

0:46:19 > 0:46:22"My darling Tiggywinkle.

0:46:22 > 0:46:27"Leg hurts this morning and I think I might have mice in my beard.

0:46:27 > 0:46:32"Do hedgehogs live near the sea?

0:46:33 > 0:46:36"Tell Marmot that this really is our time to be together.

0:46:36 > 0:46:39"I never stopped loving you."

0:46:39 > 0:46:42He gave it to me this morning. Not Wilfred Owen, but you get the gist.

0:46:55 > 0:46:59We're waiting for a bed and then you'll be moved to Maternity.

0:46:59 > 0:47:02The medics agreed to look after you both there.

0:47:04 > 0:47:05How are you feeling?

0:47:05 > 0:47:09I'm so terrified I'm going to do something wrong.

0:47:11 > 0:47:14And that he's going to be taken away from me.

0:47:15 > 0:47:19Well, he's here. And you're the best mum he's ever had.

0:47:25 > 0:47:27Do you not have any children?

0:47:28 > 0:47:30No.

0:47:33 > 0:47:38Mummy's going to have to start looking after herself, isn't she?

0:47:38 > 0:47:40Because right now I'm all you've got.

0:47:50 > 0:47:53With handwriting like that, you'll be after my job.

0:47:57 > 0:48:01You see the urologist and keep your appointments.

0:48:01 > 0:48:05You go to AA, counselling, whatever the hell they offer you.

0:48:06 > 0:48:10Get yourself a place in sheltered housing. Have a shave and a shower.

0:48:10 > 0:48:15And then write to me, every day, and post the goddamn letters.

0:48:16 > 0:48:20In a month, come and find me.

0:48:20 > 0:48:22Then we'll talk.

0:48:42 > 0:48:47Hi, this is a message for Stephanie Luscombe. It's Linda Andrews here.

0:48:47 > 0:48:50I'm going to need some help but the answer's yes.

0:48:50 > 0:48:53If they want to, the kids can stay with me.
