Three's a Crowd Casualty

Why's it always me? The butt of the jokes. You're wasted as a porter.

I wanted to know what you thought about being

an emergency care assistant.

You are the fastest I have ever had.

I am still combat-trained, so watch it.

Oh, I like the sound of that.

This is going to be brilliant for you,

be like a sort of kick-start you need to make a load of life changes.

Will you stop smirking and pass me that torch?

What did your last slave die of?

I beat him to death with an old u-bend for being lippy.

Now just pass the flipping torch!

Hiya!

Any idea what the problem is yet?

It looks like it's spitting direct from your water tank.

Been at it for a while and all. Your boarding's rotten through.

Oh. Doesn't sound good.

Don't worry, Mrs Rivers. We'll have it sorted in no time.

Right.

I am just popping next door, thanks.

Ever heard of customer service?

How are we supposed to get it done with her up and down

like a jack-in-the-box nagging at us?

There's something wedged back here.

Must have bent the pipe.

Hairline crack.

Could have been like it for months.

Here.

Give us a hand.

Put it over there.

I said put it, not throw it.

Er... What are you doing?

Just having a peep.

Well, at least I didn't have to get dressed this morning.

Right, you ready? Yeah, as I'll ever be.

Oh, look at you in your scrubs.

Looking forward to having your skills refreshed?

Nothing wrong with my skills. This is ludicrous.

I should be out there saving lives as always.

You're on my territory now, darling. So keep your hands clean

and no chatting up the female patients, all right.

That's a shame. They say laughter's the best form of medicine.

Right, all, bang on time just the way I like it.

If you'd like to walk this way.

If I walked that way I wouldn't need to see the doctor, would I?

Behave.

Jeff, we're going to put you with Fletch.

You can be his glamorous assistant.

I can't really see him in a leotard. Oh, I don't know...

Come on, mate, let's show these ladies how it's done, thank you.

Put you two together, you happy about that?

Lovely. Yeah. Good have fun.

Aah, the whole platform's buckling.

We'll need to replace it.

Just brace it for now. Will that hold it?

Well, let's hope so.

Don't you think she's going to notice?

If she knew that this box was wedged behind her water tank,

do you really think that she'd have sent us up here

to start nosing about?

So you're just going to take it?

We need it.

Quick, take that to the van. Why me?

Because the pipes still need fixing

and I'm a better plumber than you are!

Fancy another cuppa?

Aye... That'd be lovely.

Ta!

Go on, while she's in the kitchen.

Go on!

Jake!

Where's the bag?

It's just here.

Don't let it out of your sight.

Are you two all right?

Look out!

He's got a badly displaced fracture dislocation of his left ankle.

OK, let's get him straight through.

The pedal pulse is very weak.

We need to manipulate the ankle back into its correct position

straightaway. And you thought he was just pulling your leg.

Yes, thanks Jeff. Haven't you got another shout?

No, Jeff's my wingman for the day. Yes, it's a skills refresher course.

They want to make I haven't forgotten how to stick a needle in someone.

What a wonderful use of resources.

Get a litre of IV saline attached.

I'll need 20mls of Propofol one% IV.

OK, but you're going to need to supervise,

cos I'm still on probation. OK.

Can we get him on oxygen, please, and get baseline obs recorded.

This is Helen Rowlands. She was hit by a car while out running.

Got to get the flowers. Walking at the scene. Neck cleared.

GCS 15 throughout.

And the cake. Oh, God, the cake!

Minor facial injuries and painful left eye.

Do you want to move over for us?

Pulse is 125 and resp 24, with a BP 140 over 80.

Pulse 125?

What can I say? It's the effect I have on women.

So, Graham, isn't it? You like football, Graham?

No?

You don't like hospitals, do you, I can tell.

I will let you into a little secret I don't like them either.

I'm going to be late. I need to speak to Luke.

Who's Luke? We're getting married.

Congratulations. No, you don't understand,

we're getting married today.

We better get on with it, then.

Do you know how the plumbers are?

The two blokes I came in with?

I'll find out for you.

I feel so guilty, it was me that sent them up there.

Still on for tonight?

Definitely.

Wish my fella still looked at me like that.

Right, I don't think anything's broken, but let's do an X-ray

just to make sure.

Sorry, love, didn't mean to embarrass you. It's all right,

Just jealous. Guess that's what marriage does to you.

You two aren't married, are you? No. Not yet.

"Not yet"? So you've got plans?

Kind of.

Go on then, spill.

I don't really think...

When are you going to do it?

Well... Tonight. Hopefully.

We're going for dinner.

How exciting! So have you got her a ring?

I didn't want to leave it in the locker.

Oh, she'll love it.

Trust me.

All I got was a bag of chips and a registry office.

Sorry... Caught you red-handed! I was just, erm...

No need to explain. I can see I'm being traded in for a younger model.

Do all the doctors give their lady patients jewellery?

Don't silly, Paul. It wasn't for me,

it's for his girlfriend. He's proposing.

Ah... You have nothing to worry about.

Sorry, what are you saying?

It's all right, he's a big boy.

You staying you don't you find my wife attractive?

No, no, sorry, I didn't mean that at all. I, um...

I'm winding you up!

How's she doing?

She's fine. I just need to go and sort out an X-ray,

which I'm going to go and do now.

My lips are sealed. Huh? The proposal?

I'm so happy for you guys!

In the attic? There was a leak.

What was I supposed to do, stand under it and take a shower?

I'm going to go and sort it. There could be water everywhere.

What about me?

You'll be fine, baby girl. I'll be back in no time.

I'll buy you some chocolate.

You have a minor abrasion in one eye.

I'll give you some anaesthetic drops to take home,

and it should sort itself out. OK, thank you.

I'm going to look a right mess in my wedding photos, aren't I?

You're going to look gorgeous.

Anyway, your hubby-to-be is going to be so pleased you're all right,

he won't care what you look like.

I can't believe this is happening. I've still got so much to do!

Just try and stay calm. Your pulse is already through the roof.

The ECG was clear, but I would like to keep you under observation

and run a few more tests. How long for?

Until we think you're well enough to get down the aisle.

But don't worry, we'll give you the VIP treatment

and get you out of here as soon as possible.

So, you went running on the morning of your wedding? That's keen.

Last minute panic.

It was the only way I was going to squeeze into my dress.

Hmm.

Talking of a quick squeeze, look who's here...

You scared the life out of me!

Oi! We're not supposed to see each other. It's bad luck!

Do I look awful?

You look like someone I want to spend the rest of my life with.

Although, if you've changed your mind,

there are easier ways of telling me. No chance.

We're getting married today if it kills me.

Well, let's hope it doesn't come to that.

Hey! You ducking out on me already?

Nah, mate, I'm just getting some fresh air.

We haven't got time for that.

There's a mountain of patients in there that need treatment

from Team Fletch. Come on, son. Team Jeff, surely?

I think you find its Team Fletch. I think you find it's Team Jetch.

All right, Team Fleff. All right, Team Fleff it is.

For future reference, sir, you can't park here.

Need to keep it clear for ambulances.

Right, that told him.

Surname? O'Reilly.

Let's have a look...

Were any of you two dealing with a Mr O'Reilly? O'Reilly?

Graham. Yeah. He's in HDC. We're on our way they now as it so happens.

No, sorry... Jake. I'm here to see Jake O'Reilly.

I'm his brother. Yeah, but doesn't that make you...

Look, can you just tell me where he is, please?

What is that?

I think I landed on a vase or something.

Can you put a dressing on it, please?

You OK? Is there anything else you want to tell me?

Nah, it's nothing.

I just winded myself a bit when I fell, that's all.

Lie back down for me.

Yeah, there.

I think it's just a bit of bruising.

Hey, found him outside. You get fatter every time I see you.

Think he wanted to make sure his brother was all right. Christoff!

I'd give you a hug, mate, but I'd crush those puny bones of yours.

You will do literally anything to get out of work, won't you, Jake?

What can I say - born idle, die idle.

Sorry, how's my dad doing?

His ankle's in a bit of a turn, but apart from that, he's fine.

Can you tell him that I've got his bag? Safe and sound.

Sure, no worries.

Thanks, Jeff.

Whatever he's said, don't believe him.

He once covered his hand in PVA glue

and told his art teacher he had leprosy.

Faker or not, I think I'm going to take a closer look.

So let's get a chest X-ray and FAST scan ready.

And if you don't stop smiling at me, I'm going to have you sectioned.

I'm sorry, I'm just so excited! I love weddings!

Sorry.

Well, there you go.

We'll just be back in a minute to sort out that scan.

OK, thank you.

I left a message with Mum and Andrew. Told them what happened.

They're cycling around Croatia or somewhere, so...

You should go and see Dad. What for?

So he can try to explain the offside rule to me again?

He's in a bad way, Chris.

Not just the accident.

That's what a lifetime of fags, beers and bacon butties does to you.

Up here I mean.

The business is in a right state. And now...

Have a peep in there.

What the hell have you done?

What is it?

There seems to be a bit of free fluid in your abdomen.

The CT's going to give us a better picture.

I'm looking for Helen Rowlands. Are you a relative?

Yes. Actually, no, not quite.

I'm going to be her mother-in-law.

That's why I need to see her.

I'll see what I can... I put leeway into the schedule

to cover minor blips, but this?!

I think Dr Nicholls is looking after her. Sam?

Helen Rowlands? She's in HDC. I'm about to go that way if you...

No need. Thank you so much for your help.

Should I be jealous? It's funny you should say that...

Try it and I'll break your legs.

PHONE RINGS

It's so lovely.

What is?

AlL right, I'll tell you.

But you've got to promise to keep it a secret.

How long am I going to be off work for? Hard to say.

The orthopaedic surgeons will have a better idea.

He doesn't have a bed free,

so we'll keep you in cubicles till your theatre slot is ready, OK.

Argh!

I felt that!

Glad to hear it. The return is fine.

You all right?

Dad.

Chris. I wasn't expecting you.

Jake called. How are you?

I'll live.

Your mum all right?

Yeah. Fine.

Still with her...cartoonist?

He's a graphic designer.

And they're both fine, thanks.

Jake showed me his new tools in the bag.

He shouldn't have done that.

Look, if things are tight, I could always take a look at the books.

What do YOU know about plumbing?

Fine.

I'll see you later.

Happy family reunion.

I've done something.

Yes, the last chocolate biscuit. I know. Shut up.

You know the ECA training that Mac's been going on about?

Well, I applied for him without exactly telling him.

You applied...

This may be a daft question, but... Why?

Because he'd be great at it. Do you think he'll be angry?

Of course he's going to be angry!

You better pray he doesn't find out. That's the problem.

This arrived for him. He's got an interview this afternoon.

I found the letter under the counter. Must have been there for days.

What am I going to do?

Phone. Tell them he's changed his mind.

I can't do that! This is his big chance.

You'll have to tell him the truth then. I think you should.

Me? You're his best mate. He can't stay angry at both of us.

Us? You want to bet?

You're on your own.

What's she doing here?

She was worried about you.

She was beside herself when I told her what happened.

Leave me alone with her,

and you're spending your wedding night on the sofa.

Helen, darling!

Look at your face - what a mess!

Oh, you poor thing.

I was just telling Helen how worried you've been.

Yes, of course I'm worried! What will I tell the guests?

Have the doctors said how long

you're going to be in this dreadful place?

We're working as fast as we can.

OK, OK. Let's not panic.

Erm... I'll tell the hairdresser to come here,

and Phillip can drop off the dress.

And as for your make-up... Eek!

Right, well, I think we're going to be here for sometime.

So why don't I show you where you can get a cup of tea, eh?

Oh. Yes. Yes, very well. I'll try and delay the service.

Come on, Luke. I'm sure we can find something useful for you to do.

Don't worry, Helen, darling, we shan't be far. Luke.

That's good to know!

Love you.

Pulse is 120.

Is she always like that?

Pretty much.

Would you like us to keep her away?

Tempting, but it'd upset Luke.

Well, either way, I need you to relax.

We need to get this pulse down.

I've just been a bit on edge recently. I'm not sleeping well.

Well, it's very stressful planning a wedding.

You say you've lost a lot of weight recently.

How often do you go running?

Three times a week. Helps me chill out.

Some days I'm bouncing off the walls.

Some days? What about the others?

Couldn't drag me out of bed with a tractor.

I think I'd like to do a thyroid function test.

An overactive thyroid would explain the high pulse,

the fluctuation in energy levels...

Don't look so worried. It's all completely treatable.

The plumbers. Where are they?

I think they're still getting treated. Why?

Have you seen the state of our ceiling?

They haven't even fixed the leak.

You can hardly blame them for that.

Look, they've messed up. I just want to make sure

they're going to put it right, OK. Now show me where they are.

Oi, watch where you're going!

Right I'm just going to tell him straight up.

Like ripping a plaster off.

What are you looking so pleased about?

I can't say, but something really, really exciting is about to happen!

You're excited but reluctant to tell us?

So it's someone else's good news?

They met someone?

Pregnant?

Getting married!

Yes! No. I can't say.

They'd kill me.

They'd kill you? So you...

know both of them, so they work here.

It's Tom and Sam. YES!

How do you do that?

Someone won the lottery?

Two of the doctors are getting hitched apparently.

We don't know that. She still might say no yet.

As if. Who'd say no to that?

Well, he said he was a smoker. He's not complaining of any pain...

Yeah, but he doesn't like hospitals, does he?

Maybe he's worried we'll keep him in longer.

Unfortunately, down here, we've got to prioritise.

Judging by the state of his ankle,

he's going to be in here for a week, minimum.

So we let the wards pick it up.

I'll ask Ash to have another look at him.

Thanks, mate.

Robyn, did you see that bloke that went in with Jake?

Yeah.

Do you know who is he? No, I don't know.

Erm, what are you talking about?

I think you know exactly what I'm talking about.

I don't understand. I thought you said...

Baby girl, I said please wait outside.

I just want it back.

Seriously, mate, I haven't got a clue...

Excuse me. What's going on?

We're having a chat.

Right, I think you should leave.

Why? I'm just visiting my friend here.

I'll call security if I have to.

Security? He hasn't done anything wrong.

What's the problem?

There isn't one. Is there?

Erm...

No.

No, we're good.

See?

OK. On your way, then.

Can somebody tell me what this bloke's problem is?

I'm not going to ask you again.

Jeff, he hasn't done anything.

Do yourself a favour and listen to the nice nurse.

It's all right, it's all right. This is none of your business.

This is my business. That's my patient you're talking to,

so what happens now,

are you going to go or am I going to throw you out myself? Charlie...

Sorry could you just excuse us for a moment.

Robyn, can you keep an eye on Fletch's patients for ten minutes?

Yeah, sure. Good, thank you.

Both of you make your way to my office now, please.

Sorry, this patient needs rest at the moment.

If there's something you'd like to discuss with him,

can I suggest that you come back later?

Chris, just... Just get rid of it.

Helen Rowlands' thyroid function.

Thank you.

Shame on her big day.

No wonder her pulse is going through the roof.

What about you, Dr Nicholls?

Are you a big white wedding kind of girl?

God I can't think of anything worse.

There speaks the voice of experience!

I thought Helen's thyroid might be over-active, but...

this makes no sense.

Luke, can we have a word?

Does Helen seem different to you at all recently?

Not really.

She's been a bit up and down, but that's standard, isn't it?

With the wedding?

You don't think she may have taken anything?

You mean drugs? No way. She wouldn't.

How can you be so sure?

It's our thing.

No booze, no drugs, nothing.

We're the rebels of our generation. What about anti-depressants?

No. She could've bought them online. I know Helen better than anyone.

The only things she'll take are aspirins and vitamin pills.

Do you still not have any idea what's wrong with her?

No, but we will work it out, I promise you.

Could you keep an eye on her? Any change just give me a shout.

Tom.

Got a 25-year-old female with hypothyroidism.

She's got a pulse of 120, and her ECG and chest X-ray are clear.

Drugs? No, She swears she hasn't taken anything.

Ten quid says they're lying.

I would know if they were lying.

OK, well, you got nothing to lose. Do a tox screen.

OK.

You said a tenner.

I tell you what, loser pays for dinner tonight?

You've got yourself a deal.

Shouldn't you be off rounding up customers?

I'm waiting for Stormin' Norman. He's filing reports.

Looks like things are going well for you and Tom.

Yeah. They are.

Good, I'm glad. You deserve it.

I'm just really happy that we can both finally relax

and just enjoy ourselves.

"Finally"?

Yes, you know, it's just been a busy couple of months, that's all.

Come on, Sam, this is me you're talking to.

Has something happened?

No. Nothing.

We had a bit of a rough patch, but now we're through the other side.

What?

Nothing. I'm happy for you, that's all.

Thank you.

Really. Means a lot.

Go on, then.

I was looking out for a patient, that's all.

He's a nasty bit of work, the geezer. Trust me?

Well, how do you know? Well, cos our paths have crossed.

He's got a garage. Deals in luxury motors, you know,

cut and shuts, friends in low places.

So why didn't you tell me?

I'm not going to say in front of the geezer, am I?

Have you got any evidence that he was here to cause trouble?

Well, then you have to treat him with respect.

If you're worried about Jake, we'll get security to keep an eye on him.

It's not our job to judge anyone who comes into the place.

Not out loud, anyway. Go on.

Thanks. What?

You're supposed to be my partner.

A bit of back up would've been nice.

Where's the money?

Chris has taken it. What?!

Listen, Dad, I...

I think we should give it back. Just hang tight, OK?

Here you are.

You better get back to your cubicle or you'll get me in trouble.

Yeah, yeah, sorry, I was just checking on the old man.

Good news! Dr Ashford says your theatre slot's sorted.

How are you feeling?

A bit groggy, to be honest.

That'll be the morphine.

Tell you what, how about you have a nice little rest,

and I'll make sure you're not disturbed.

Hi.

It's Graham, isn't it?

I thought we'd have a quiet word.

See, here's the thing.

I want my money back.

And I want it today.

So this is the deal.

I'm going to take my hand away,

and you're going to tell me where it is.

GRAHAM GROANS

Cos if you don't...

I will get friends of mine

to do things to your boy Jake out there

that no doctor in this world can fix.

The reception doesn't start until 3pm.

If I can guarantee we'll be out of here by 2pm...

Look, Helen's pulse may have come down,

but Helen's thyroid function is lower than it should be.

We can't increase it till we know...

Why don't you just go? Go on.

Go and have a party with all your friends.

I don't even know most of them. Helen, darling, calm down.

It'll be fine. No, it won't. I can't take this any more.

I want that stupid woman out of here!

OK.

Erm...

would you give us a moment?

Thank you.

Don't say it.

I can't stand her breathing down our necks the whole time.

This wedding's like an obsession for her.

Maybe she's jealous?

Jealous? Of what?

You.

You're young, gorgeous, in love.

Luke clearly adores you.

What's she got?

She's really good at folding napkins.

I feel like I might be sick. OK.

You're sweating. Do you feel hot?

I'm OK. Just tired. OK.

Really tired. Let me take a look in your eyes.

No, get off me!

Everything OK?

Oh!

If I didn't know better, I'd say she was suffering

from withdrawals symptoms.

Let's just see what the tox screen results are, OK.

Here you are, Helen.

Sorry, sir, you can't use that in here...

It's me.

No, it's fine.

There was a hitch, but I'm sorting it.

Trust me.

If you've got the cars, I've got the money.

I've got a confession to make.

Louise, if it's about the choccie biccies...

No. You know the ECA training?

Don't worry about it, OK.

They wouldn't have been interested in me. That's the thing. They are.

What?

OK, so I filled out an application for you,

and you've got an interview today.

No need to thank me.

Is that what you think of me?

I'm that stupid I can't even fill out my own form?

I tried to tell you, Louise, but... You knew about this?

Oh!

Oh, man! It's good to know who your friends are.

I...

If you say, "I told you so", I will staple your eyelids to the desk.

Ah!

All right, you all right, Graham? You got some pain there, mate?

Can I get some help here, please!

Argh!

What's up? I don't know, he's got some pain in his chest.

Obviously, he's struggling to breathe.

I think you'd better get Ash.

Try and relax. We're going to take care of you.

Tom. Yeah?

I just wanted to say good luck. What for?

Popping the question.

How did you know?

It's just hospital gossip, you know how it is.

It's great news.

Thanks.

Sam was telling me about your... rough patch.

I'm really glad things are working out.

Your lung's collapsed. We're going to put a tube in to drain it.

That should improve your breathing quite quickly.

He's got a haemothorax and two broken ribs.

Dad, what's happened?

You shouldn't be in here.

I told him...

Told him what? Where Chris lives.

His chest wasn't compromised on arrival. Something's happened.

Oh.

Were you the last to do his obs?

Yeah, but he was fine. A bit groggy, like, but...

You haven't see him since, no? No.

He was talking to that fella that you were arguing with before.

OK. I need to get security. OK.

What have you told Iain? About what?

Us. Nothing.

Then how does he know about our rough patch?

Oh. I just told him that we had a little blip.

Tom...

Sam! I've got Helen's tox screen results.

What's wrong?

I lost a bet.

The state it's in now...

That seems to be all the fluid.

So the lung should be...

What is that?

There. Didn't show up earlier.

It must have been masked by the haemothorax.

Chris!

I'd put that down if I was you.

Someone might get hurt.

Been trying to find you.

It's a bit late to apologise, don't you think? Apologise?

It's called a private life - the clues in the title.

Look, I'm really, really sorry, but that's not why I came to find you.

Jake O'Reilly's scan results.

Guys, have you seen the guy that was in here?

Jake. What's wrong?

We need to find him and get him into surgery.

He's got an intra-abdominal haemorrhage.

What sort of mass?

Like...

cancer?

I can't say for sure, but in my opinion, it is a real possibility.

So what happens, then... after my surgery?

We'll refer you to an oncologist to do more tests.

Then they'll discuss your options with you.

Options?

Like I said, I'm not an expert. Let's wait and see.

Sorry to interrupt.

Not a good time, Jeff.

No, I know, it's Jake...he's gone missing.

Do you know where he might be?

No.

I was just telling Mr O'Reilly about...

I know, I am it's just... he's ill, Jake.

He needs surgery, and we need to get him back here asap.

Jeff...

Look, mate, if you know anything, you could help us find him -

it might save his life.

KNOCKING

I'm on my break!

What are you doing with my blazer?

I popped home. It's for the interview.

I thought... Louise put you up to this, did she?

Actually, mate, it was MY idea.

Look, what Louise did was a bit daft, granted.

But she only did it because she believed you'd make a great ECA.

What does Louise know? You're right. She doesn't know.

And neither do you...

unless you give it a try.

I'm not going.

All right. If you change your mind, the interview's in one hour.

What have you got to lose, mate?

Oi! Where do you think you're going?

Oh... Charlie's not going to sign off your training

if you go off on a wild-goose chase.

Sorry, I just thought saving someone's life might be a little bit more important, you know(!)

It's not our job today, Jeff. It's our job every day, isn't it?

Ah, Norman, just the man - I've got a job for you, son.

Don't worry - I'll explain on the way.

All right, let's go. SIREN BLARES

Just inviting a few of friends round.

Thought we'd have a little party.

Don't mind, do you?

You've made a mistake.

The amphetamines show up on the tests results. I swear, I haven't taken anything.

Luke said you take some kind of vitamin pill?

It was just a herbal diet supplement.

Where did you get them? On the internet?

No.

Barbara gave them to me.

To help me lose weight.

She wanted me to wear this old wedding dress -

some stupid family tradition!

Sorry. Only it didn't fit, did it?

So Barbara, Luke's mother, has been giving you the pills?

Yeah, she takes them herself.

Carries them around in her handbag like breath mints.

What, those little pink things?

I have decided, considering the circumstances,

I would be willing to accept an apology.

What?

Chris, run! Get out! I told you to be quiet! Leave him alone!

Just leave him. I've got the money. ENGINE OUTSIDE

That'll be my friends - party time.

Jake, you in there?

You all right, son?

OK. In there?

All right, nice and easy, fella.

POLICE SIREN

Is this our ruptured spleen?

Yes. And we picked up a stray as well.

This is Jake.

He was in shock on arrival, unable to give

a detailed history. Complaining of severe abdominal pain.

He's had 1.5 litres of saline so far.

Sats 97 on 100% O2.

A friend sends them over from the States. How could you do this, Mum?

I just wanted everything to be perfect.

I didn't know they were amphetamines. How would I?

I've been taking them for years, and they haven't done me any harm.

Fletch, second IV line in, please, large bore. Yup.

Can we cross-match 8 units and put 2 of O-neg in stat

while we're waiting?

Quick as you can, please.

And can someone fast-bleep the surgical reg?

I'll do that, yeah? And give theatre a heads-up.

This guy needs a laparotomy straightaway.

Can we titrate 10 of morphine? Can I have the FAST scanner?

His pressure's not looking too good.

Let's give him some TXA while we're waiting for the surgeon

and keep a very close eye on his output. Surgeon's on his way.

Team Fletch, eh?

Back in business.

I'd feel a lot better

if I could keep you under observation tonight.

Not going to happen.

Thought you might say that.

But promise me, if you feel ill, you'll come straight back in.

I promise. Make sure she gets some rest.

I promise.

I won't let her out of bed.

Whoa - too much information.

Ready. OK.

How is it?

It's perfect.

He's right. You look great.

I'm sure you'll look much better in yours. Hmm?

You've just got engaged, haven't you?

The nurses were all chatting about it earlier.

Oh, my God, he hasn't asked you yet, has he?

I am so sorry! I've gone and ruined it!

Tom was planning to...?

Have you seen Tom?

I haven't, as much as I would love to say yes.

What?

What Louise is trying to say is... maybe you should give him a ring?

You all know, don't you?

I don't know what you're talking about. Great!

THEY LAUGH

Changed your mind, then?

Like you say, I've got nothing to lose.

You scrub up really well. You're going to knock 'em dead.

Really? She's right, mate. You look great.

Only...I feel a bit sick, actually.

Thought you were supposed to be in surgery by now?

Said I wouldn't budge until I knew you two were all right.

Us two...or just Jake?

How can you ask that?

You gave him my address, Dad.

I...I had no choice.

Yeah.

You did.

Chris...

They've taken Jake up to surgery now,

but they think he's out of immediate danger.

Thank you.

Chris, son...

You know what, Dad?

Whatever it is, it's about ten years too late.

Listen, Graham...

I'm sorry to hear about... Thanks.

Have they told you what they can...?

By the sounds of it, it's a good thing

I didn't get round to renewing my season ticket.

I see. I'm sorry.

Listen, do you want me to go and get him?

What difference would it make? Well, maybe if he knew...

No!

No.

I don't want his pity.

Here you are! Look, about earlier...

Listen. I was being stupid. Sorry.

We still on for dinner later?

You won the bet, so it's on me.

I've got a load of paperwork to do, so... Another time?

I could help with the paperwork,

then we could get something to eat afterwards.

If you just give me two minutes, I'll be able to get...

I'd sooner crack on. I'll see you later.

We didn't hear anything. So did he...?

It's not going to happen.

I've made a right mess of this.

Please, let me put it right.

I don't see how you can.

Charlie! Yeah. Listen, mate, I'm sorry about earlier.

You know, running off like that.

Actually, Ash was telling me how good you were in resus earlier.

I thought you said I was a glorified taxi driver?

I don't remember saying "glorified".

I tell you what...

I'll sign you off... if you buy me a pint.

Isn't that bribery?

No, it's a deal, it's a deal. I've just got to do something first.

I'll see you there. Ash, can I borrow you for something, please?

As you can see, I'm off duty. We're going off for a pint.

Oh, perfect! Could you take somebody with you?

All right, mate, do you mind if I...?

He sent you, did he?

He's a proud man, isn't he, your dad?

That's one word for it.

Listen, son, I see a lot in this job, you know? Tricky relationships.

Yeah, well, these things happen.

Well, if it's any consolation, I never got on with my old man, either.

No? No. Well, he didn't get on with me, really.

I know how that feels!

Yeah.

Still, it would have been nice to have cleared the air

before he passed.

There's really no use crying over spilt milk, is there?

When it's too late to do anything about it.

Like I said, he's a proud man, your dad.

Is there something I should know?

I can't say.

Nice one, Collier.

Listen, mate, I'm sorry about, you know...

Listen, forget out about it. Probably saved Jake's life anyway.

Don't know about that.

We're all just cogs in a machine, aren't we?

Still, there's big cogs and little cogs, you know what I mean?

All right.

Not sure if I could do this job every day, though.

Spend so much time with the same patients.

They get under your skin, don't they? It's not always a bad thing.

Let's get that pint. I'm buying.

OK, yeah, now you're talking. Deal.

What, you're not going to offer to buy a pint?

Oh, I want to see you get one of your white fivers out.

You know what, guys, listen,

I'm just going to give it a miss.

What's going on? I haven't got a clue.

CLEARS THROAT

I thought you'd got paperwork to do?

I think he'll be all right on his own, don't you?

I think he'll be all right on his own.

A bet's a bet. Well, technically, we were both right.

Sam...

Just...shut up and sit down.

What are you doing...?

What does it look like I'm doing?

Down on one knee, champagne, romantic meal... Pizza.

Yeah, well, I hate anchovies, and it's covered in anchovies.

I don't know what to say.

Well, "yes" would be a good start.

I thought that...

Tom, you know I'm rubbish at this sort of thing...

Yes.

Yes?

Yes.

Hey! Can we come in now?

Yes, if you must!

I'm sorry I let it slip again!

Congratulations. Thank you!

Er, Dix...listen, mate, I'm really sorry about earlier.

Oh, don't worry about it. We all have our off days.

Yeah, I know, but I was out of order. I shouldn't have walked out on you like that.

Well, technically, you were on Charlie's watch.

So I'm going to leave the cruel and unusual punishment up to him.

Great! In that case, I'll get the drinks in, then. Three pints, please.

So how did it go?

OK. I think. I don't know.

What's that supposed to mean?

Come on, you look like you need a drink.

You still smell a little bit like sick.

I know.

The girl that got away?

Still, any excuse for a party, eh?

Actually, I've got somewhere to be.

# I'm yours... #
