Once There Was a Way Home - Part 1 Casualty

# I knew you were trouble when you walked in

# So shame on me now

# Flew me to places I'd never been

# Now I'm lying on the cold, hard ground

# Oh! Oh! #

Oh!

# Trouble, trouble, trouble

# Oh! Oh! # MUSIC STOPS

Mr Douglas? It's Rita Freeman -

new tenant in flat seven?

Actually, no, that's why I'm calling.

You're late. Traffic?

Er, no, dentist, but Tess OK'd it before I went away.

-Is she about?

-She's on leave.

And Charlie's called in sick, which means you're the senior nurse.

-Right...

-Ah, Fletch. Good holiday?

Yeah, ripped and toned and ready for action.

-Sorry, we haven't met.

-Dr Chao.

Lily's one of our new F2s.

-This is Senior Staff Nurse Adrian Fletcher.

-Fletch.

We'll speak later.

Fletch, am I glad to see you?!

OK, everything just run smoothly, all right.

-You know how I like things.

-Yeah, I know. A well-oiled machine.

Right, so the bad news is we're three nurses down.

WOMAN SCREAMS

The earlies tried to get an RMN in to special her

but no luck so far, so that's taking up another nurse.

The good news is we've got a new Band 5 starting.

-A Rita Freeman?

-There you go, then. All hands to the pump.

Yeah, except she's late.

Just make sure when I get back here tonight, it's fixed.

And when I say fixed, I mean fixed.

No more water, ceiling painted.

Mm-hm.

Yeah, thank you.

-CREAKING AND CLATTERING

-Oh, my God.

-WOMAN GROANS

-Don't move! I'll get help.

You need to stay very still for me.

Look at me!

That's it.

Now, listen, I'm coming upstairs to be with you, OK?

Everything's going to be all right.

Is the front door locked?

Key on a string.

Ah, you're back. You know Charlie's off sick?

Yeah, and Tess is away. What's going on?

The linen delivery hasn't arrived.

Hello, this is Senior Staff Nurse Fletcher from the ED.

I've got two cubicles I can't restock,

-so that means I can't use them.

-Fletch...

OK, make that three cubicles I now can't use.

Well, because we're waiting for fresh bed linen.

No, I need it now.

Ambulance is on its way. What's your name?

Jane.

Jane, OK. I'm Rita, your new neighbour, from downstairs.

Jane, I need you to slow your breathing down now, OK?

So, just gentle breaths.

Good, OK.

The paramedics won't be long. They're fantastic.

And they're going to...

..sort you...

..right out.

So, nearly there. Just coming round.

Anyway, where was I? Introducing myself.

I hate it when people move in

and don't introduce themselves, don't you? So rude.

Makes it really uncomfortable when you're banging on their door

in the middle of the night, telling them to keep the noise down.

OK.

There we go.

Gentle breaths.

Good.

-KNOCK AT DOOR Yes?

-The linen's just arrived.

-Excellent.

But the new nurse hasn't shown up yet.

Right, cheers.

-PHONE RINGS

-It's all right, Jane, everything's going to be all right.

-Rita Freeman?

-Er, yes, hello,

this is Adrian Fletcher, Senior Staff Nurse at Holby ED.

-Hi, Adrian.

-Did you forget something? You're supposed to be starting work with us today.

Yeah, it's a bit difficult for me to speak right now.

-SIRENS BLARE

-OK, they're here.

I'll be in as soon as I can.

Oh, well, that's very good of you because we're short-staffed

and we've got lots of people just walking in off the street,

-'wanting us to make them feel better.'

-You've survived without me

until now. A little bit longer won't hurt.

(Job's worth.)

-Hello?!

-Hello!

-Hi.

-Right, just stay nice and still for us, OK?

Up the stairs, front door's open.

-OK, two seconds.

-OK.

Blimey, it's worse than YOUR room.

And who are you all of a sudden - Mies Van Der Rohe?

Come again? Never heard of her.

He's the father of Minimalism.

Me and Carol watched a documentary about him the other night.

You want to nip that in the bud.

She'll have you going to the theatre next.

Hi, I'm Jeff, this is Dixie.

Hey, Rita Freeman. New ED nurse at Holby City. This is Jane.

Do you live here, Rita?

Yeah, I just moved in downstairs.

Well, lucky you.

Right, shall we see what we've got, then?

We've got crush injuries to the legs and possibly the pelvis and chest.

She's in a lot of pain.

OK, we're going to need to move that wardrobe, aren't we?

-Yeah.

-I'll need to do some obs, get a line-in, get pain relief.

-Yeah.

-Wish me luck.

-Nice and steady, please, Jeffrey.

-OK.

Mind how you go, darlin'.

Be careful. I went through there.

Yeah, I can see.

Good job the old ballet lessons are paying off, innit?

Jeffrey!

-Got you, got ya!

-All right, son? Come on.

You all right?

Well, you're stronger than you look.

-SIRENS BLARE

-Here come the boys.

-Mum?

-No, no, no, no, no, darling.

-Mum!

Jane, you need to stay very still.

Look at me, sweetheart. No, she's going to be all right.

-We're going to take care of her. She's going to be OK.

-Quick as you can!

-It's all right.

-Up here!

The fire brigade are here now, they'll soon sort her out.

Trust us, yeah? All right, fella.

-Round the back.

-You all right?

-Yeah, yeah.

-Trollies.

-Yeah, what about them?

Well, put simply, without trollies we can't unload our patients.

If we can't unload our patients, we can't do our job.

As you know, the hospital is fined for every minute we're kept waiting.

I know, but I'm putting out fires here, mate.

I seriously don't have time for one of your riveting lectures about anything.

Still, we're short of trollies.

Tess normally calls the Bed Manager and...

-Well, do you know what? I'm not Tess.

-Clearly.

What have we got?

Right, this is Jane Tanner, 42.

She's got possible crush injuries to her chest, pelvis, legs,

query fractured right femur.

Couldn't tolerate a traction splint.

She's had 500 of saline, and 10 of morphine.

She's not responding well to pain relief.

Right, let's get her to Resus. Jane, my name's Sam, one of the doctors here at the ED.

OK, young man, I've got a job for you.

Can you grab that door for me?

Good boy. You've done that before, haven't you?

Straight through.

If you wait in reception, I'll get somebody to have a look at you.

Thanks, but there's someone I need to speak to. Oh, I think it's you.

Yeah. Rita Freeman. The new Band 5.

Sorry if I sounded off on the phone earlier.

-I was a bit distracted.

-Well, now you...

Oh, and I need to talk to somebody about emergency accommodation.

-Your turn.

-Thank you.

-You're an hour late.

-Yeah, that's my neighbour.

OK. The lockers are this way.

You all right?

Yeah, I just went to the dentist, and the anaesthetic's wearing off a bit.

You need to rub some oil of cloves on your gum.

-Oh, do I?

-Instant relief, apparently.

I prefer brandy, myself.

Good morning, Stan. I see the Blues got beaten again last night.

Yeah.

-Breathing and airway are clear.

-Is there anyone you want me to call for you?

-No.

Call my dad. Tell him he's got to come.

-OK, mate, course I will.

-Pulse is 100. BP 131 over 80. Bloods?

Er, yes, please. FBC, Us and Es, and a venous blood gas.

And let's cross-match her for four units.

I'll also need film of the C spine, pelvis and chest,

-and I'll do a FAST scan.

-Oh!

OK, Jane. I don't think you have any major organ damage,

but you do have quite a few cracked ribs,

which is what's making it painful for you to breathe.

Argh!

Right, let's give her some more morphine.

If she doesn't tolerate the Donway, let's get her into a Thomas splint.

Jane, I'm going to get the orthopaedic surgeons

to come down and review you. Can we get her a bed, Fletch?

They're not answering - I'll go and sort it.

And, er, Jude, get a phone number for your dad, mate?

Can we get those bloods off, please? Do you know Big Mac?

-No.

-Big guy. Goatee. Welsh.

I'll find him. Jude, do you want to come with me, darling?

I'll show you where the shop is, you can get yourself some sweets, yeah?

Are you sure you're going to be all right, Mum?

Yeah, yeah, I'll be fine.

Go on, then - no wandering off, though, eh?

He'll be fine. Come on, Jude.

(All right, darling, she is going to be OK.)

Hey! What are you doing?!

Come on!

Stan! Are you OK?

I'll call Terry.

Call the cops first. I'm OK. Just call the police.

Ambulance. And police.

There's been a robbery.

So, have you lived in the flat long?

I couldn't help noticing... there's quite a lot of stuff.

Mum doesn't like throwing things away.

She says there's too much waste in the world.

Mm-hm. What about your dad - does he like to keep things too?

He doesn't live with us any more.

OK. So there's the sweet shop.

When you've picked something, take a seat and I'll come

and find you when she's feeling a bit better, OK?

I'm lost. Big Mac?

Er, there he is.

Big Mac? Hello, Rita Freeman, new Band 5.

Ah, we've been expecting you. How are you? Nice to meet you.

-What do you reckon?

-Very nice.

I meant about her work.

Oh, her work! Oh, well, yeah.

She seems to know what she's doing.

Seems to get on well with everyone.

I think she's a keeper, mate.

And you didn't recognise any of the men?

-You haven't seen them hanging around?

-No, I've never seen them before.

I hope you're going to catch these animals.

What can you tell me about the van?

It was, er, it was white.

That's all I can remember.

The Irani guy, Ramin -

he, he called the police.

Where is he now?

I don't know. He was with me when the ambulance arrived.

He did try to stop them - they beat him up too.

We need to get him into the ambulance now.

-I'm going to the hospital too.

-We'll go in my car.

You all right, Dad?

I need to speak to this Ramin.

Mr Cothern? Any idea where he might be?

Your Dad said he might be injured as well.

I don't know where he is.

Look, my head's all over the place. My dad's not a well man.

I only gave him the job to get him out of the house.

Excuse me, sir!

So, if you can just fill out there, there and there. And take a seat when you're finished. Thank you.

Can I help you?

-Is your job hard?

-Hard? You wouldn't believe.

I'll be with you in just one sec, if you can take a seat over there, thank you.

All you do is say hello to people and tell them where to go.

Shall I tell YOU where to go?

Look, shouldn't you be getting back to your mum or something?

Oh, you fixed it!

Thanks, mate. That's brilliant. Look, Louise.

He fixed Captain Starky.

That's great. Can he fix it for me to not have to deal with all these people on my own?

All right, Jude?

Oh, his dad's on his way.

He doesn't want to talk to the wife. Just wants to pick up the boy and go.

Hmm, good. The kid's had enough to deal with -

-he doesn't need to see his parents at each other's throats. Excuse me!

-Lou?

Thank you.

It would be helpful if you could give me a contact number for... Ramin, is it?

It's in the file at the office. There's no-one there right now.

This is important. He witnessed a violent robbery.

Right now, he's the only lead we've got and I need to know what he saw.

Yeah, well, you're going to have to wait cos I'm not leaving here.

My dad was just brought in. Stanley Cothern.

OK, just one sec.

These men who attacked your dad, they're professionals.

This is the third site they've attacked in the area.

Robyn! Erm, this is Stanley Cothern's son.

She's been helping with your dad.

-Hi.

-How is he?

-He's holding up. Shall I take you to him? This way.

PHONE RINGS

Donleavy.

We'll soon have you seen to.

It's not so bad.

So, what's your name?

Yousef.

He's had a knock on the head, he's not lost his hearing.

I'm concerned about the possibility of nerve damage to the wrist.

So, I'm going to get you admitted for some tests.

-HE GROANS

-Dad?

-Lie him back.

OK.

Your abdomen is pretty distended.

How long have you had the discomfort?

Oh, for a while.

Have you been finding blood in your stools?

Any changes in your normal bowel habits?

Just constipation.

And you've seen your GP?

She sent me for tests. That was fun.

I'm going to go and phone Lorraine, let her know what happened.

He's very sensitive.

What did the doctor say, Stan?

Well, it's the big double-C.

Colon cancer.

-Who's treating you?

-I'm not having treatment. I don't want any.

-Stan?

-I don't want any fuss.

Stan, if you have cancer...

Just give me something for the pain. That's all I want.

Don't you want to know how long you've got to live?

I've always liked surprises.

I've seen what happens to people in these places...

My wife...she...

OK, If you could lift your shirt for me

so I can see how we can help you.

-I don't need your help.

-It's all right.

OK, let me have a look at your injuries.

OK, can you take a seat for me?

Sorry.

Sorry, I'll be as gentle as I can.

That'll probably look a lot worse in a day or two.

I'll get a doctor to examine you further, OK?

-Robyn, have you seen Tom?

-No, but your patient's a bit of a dish.

-Really? I hadn't noticed.

-Fibber! He's just your type.

Yeah, if you like a dark, mysterious stranger.

That's exactly how I like them!

Jane, we've cleared your C-spine from the X-rays and neck examination,

and also your chest and pelvis films are normal.

Now, I'm afraid this is going to hurt.

I'm going to straighten out your leg

and pull the bones that are rubbing apart where you broke your femur.

We've given you some ketamine for the pain.

This is Entonox. I want you to breathe it in and out

and that will help take the edge off as well, all right?

Nice deep breaths for me.

There we go. Nearly there.

That's it. Deep breaths.

SHE GROANS

OK, all done.

I know that was nasty,

but now I've separated the bones, the pain should ease off.

-My chest, it hurts.

-You do have significant bruising on your ribs.

-Oh, it's agony.

-We can give you something for the pain,

but I'm afraid there will still be some discomfort.

Right, the orthopods will come down

to talk to you about the next stage regarding your leg,

but what I can tell you now is that you're going to need an operation.

-How are Ortho doing on that bed?

-The Bed Manager's on to it.

-Oh, I thought, Tess, er...

-I know.

Is Edwyn here yet?

I'm sure he'll be here soon.

You won't tell him about the flat?

-He doesn't know?

-He'll take Jude away from me.

Look, I know I've let things get on top of me, but I'm better now.

Jane, it's all right. We'll refer you so you can talk to someone.

No, you don't understand.

I've already found a company.

They've said they'll help me clear it all out - all of it.

I was going to call them today, but...

I'll explain the situation to your husband, all right?

Adrian, can I have a word?

Back in a minute, all right?

What? Well, she's terrified they're going to take her son off her.

You can't make the way they've been living

sound like home-sweet-home just to save her feelings.

Well, funnily enough, that wasn't my intention.

He needs to know how his kid's been living.

I'm just going to ask, are you always this much of a pain in the ar...?

I could say no, but I'd be lying.

Stan's made up his mind about his treatment,

so we need to focus on his immediate injuries.

-Could you get him over for a scan?

-Mm-hm.

My wife, she's coming in.

Could you tell me anything about your dad's condition?

We don't talk about it.

So there's nothing you can tell me?

Since Mum died, me and my dad, we don't...

To be honest, we've never been big on stuff like that.

Go on. The sooner you get back to work, the sooner we can get out of here.

Hi, I'm Tom Kent.

This is Yousef.

He's been mugged and hit across the back with a metal bar.

I've PGD'd some paracetamol and brufen

but he's still struggling with the pain.

All right, I'll write you up something stronger.

Now, I just need you to take some deep breaths for me, all right?

Breathe in, and out.

Breathe in, and out.

Is there any pain?

OK, well, I'm a little concerned

that you're having breathing problems,

so I'm going to issue an X-ray to make sure

you haven't got a collapsed lung,

and then I'll keep an eye on you for a couple of hours.

Who's your GP, Yousef?

I don't have one.

And no address?

I'm staying with friends. I move around.

OK.

Where are you from?

Iran.

Let's give him 30 of dihydrocodeine.

These pills are going to help with the pain.

Then when I discharge you, I'll give you some more, all right?

What's going on with him?

I think he's an illegal.

You know, overstayed a visa, failed asylum seeker...

We get 'em all the time.

So, what do we do?

We treat them.

Stan, you mentioned your wife earlier.

What happened?

Yes, well, they, er, they sent her back to me in a box.

And you're scared that will happen to you?

Don't you see?

There's a lot of possible treatment you can have...

Oi!

-What, me?

-Yeah, you, come here.

I love your shirt.

-Thanks.

-You know, I've been watching the Blues

-since I was younger than you are now.

-Really?

Yeah. They've always been rubbish.

And that's why we love them.

Do you want a sweet?

Oh!

Well, that's very kind of you.

What is it?

-Cola bottle.

-Ah!

Hey, that's good.

Lily, part of this job is relating to patients. Connecting.

I find treating them

to be far more effective than sitting down for a cosy chat.

You heard what he said. He lost his wife to cancer.

Then, he should know better, shouldn't he?

The police are gone.

Why are you hiding from them? Is it because of what's happened to you?

You have no idea what's happened to me.

I'm not going to tell them you're here. You're my patient.

Here, take these.

It was my first time there last night. I've wanted to go for ages.

Why are you telling me? Get your hands off me! Do you think I go to clubs like that?!

Whatever's going on, whoever's against you, I'm not one of them.

I'm sorry.

You asked me, you asked me why I was scared of the police.

It's because I know what will happen if I am sent back to Iran.

Er... That couple were asking for you. The name's Tanner.

Oh, cheers. Mr Tanner.

Oh, yeah, yeah. This is Eleanor. My, er...friend. Partner.

Is Jude about? Only, I've got to... The car park.

I only had enough change for half an hour.

He was just at the desk. Hang on.

Edwyn, are you all right?

Um, he's probably gone back to see his mum.

How is she?

She's fractured her thigh bone.

It is a nasty one, but it's not life-threatening.

She will need surgery and she is in quite a lot of discomfort

-so we're going to increase her pain relief.

-She's not good with pain.

It's her emotional state that I'm more concerned with.

So, let's go somewhere a bit more quiet so we can talk about it, eh?

Louise, could you give Rita a shout,

-and tell her to meet us in the Relatives' Room?

-Sure.

Do you want to follow me?

This is all MY fault, isn't it?

There's no way I'd have left him there if I'd known.

-No-one's judging you.

-I didn't walk out. She threw me out.

Then I meet Eleanor...

..and Jane decides to fall apart.

I don't think it's personal.

I need some air.

You obviously don't know Jane.

You all right?

Yeah, just feel bad for the kid.

-Hey, gorgeous.

-He's gay.

-Hm?

-Yousef, my patient.

Typical. The good-looking ones always are.

Are you going to, you know...?

Look at this.

He's from Iran. I didn't realise, but he's a failed asylum seeker.

Look what's waiting for him if he has to go back.

-He's here, isn't he?

-He's going to come and see you.

You say the pain's still very bad.

-Mm.

-OK, we can try changing the position of the splint.

See if that helps.

Jane, how long have you been keeping things?

Honestly, I'm not one of those people you see on documentaries,

one of those hoarders.

I just don't see the point in throwing away

perfectly usable things.

There is no shame in admitting that you need help.

I know I've let it get out of hand.

Life gets on top of all of us sometimes.

The flat was swallowing me up. It's true.

But it'll be better now, now that Edwyn's back.

I must look a fright.

You look fine.

Do you have a comb?

Yeah, I've had it for years. The winder's broken.

Right, your dad's here. He's been looking for you.

-Give me a couple of minutes and I'll take you to see him.

-Is he with Mum?

No, he's, erm... He's with a friend.

I know the name of the guy I'm looking for.

If he's here, one of your people can ask if he's willing to speak to me.

-Any good?

-I don't need that.

And, what, if he doesn't, then, you're just going to leave it?

Absolutely.

OK.

Er, where'd the boy go?

He went that way.

All right, Jude, you can come out now. Tell me what's going on.

Hey, what is going on between your mum and your dad?

Come on, you can tell me.

I wish I knew.

You do know you can't just barge in and start questioning him?

I've got no intention of barging anywhere.

Just checking.

Well?

Sorry. Nobody called Ramin's been admitted today.

Right, he might be using a different name.

That's helpful.

Louise, I know you're busy, but help me out here, please.

Has anyone with an Iranian name been admitted today?

Mr Tanner?

I think you need to speak to Staff Nurse Collier.

Thank you.

Ah, you came!

Are you OK?

I need to talk to you about Jude.

What's happened? Is he all right?

He's fine. I saw him a couple of minutes ago.

I think he's off exploring.

She thinks he's coming home

and they're going to live happily ever after.

Would that be such a bad thing?

Have you got any kids?

-Do you?

-Yeah, three.

And what if you and your wife couldn't stand the sight of each other?

Doesn't matter.

Well, we'll have to move out of the flat for a while.

Maybe find somewhere new.

A proper fresh start - what do you think?

Jane, please.

Somewhere closer to Jude's school, of course, but...

Listen to me. We are not... We are not getting back together.

No, but you're not making sense. You wanted to come back.

-You begged me.

-That was a long time ago.

Look, I'm not talking about keeping Jude for good.

You want to take him away from me?

No, just until the flat's fixed up and you are...

you know, you're able to take care of him, eh?

We have to find a solution.

The solution is simple. You come home.

I'm not...!

This is utterly pointless. I need to find Jude.

Now.

I'm looking for one of your colleagues. Nurse Collier.

Yeah, just a second.

Oh, Jamie?

-I'm trying to avoid him, Robyn.

-Sorry.

I need a word with one of your patients, the Iranian guy.

Why?

It's a police matter.

I'm not sure I like the idea of you questioning my patient. He's sick.

Are you obstructing a police officer?

OK.

Sorry.

Well, where is he?

-I don't know.

-Are you sure?

If he says he doesn't know, then he doesn't.

-Cheers.

-We're just here to treat them.

Hi, Global Asylum?

Yes, I'm calling from Holby City Hospital. I need some advice.

What's the time?

I am going to pick up the kids, OK?

-So long, love.

-Take care.

-Do you mind if I stay?

-Whatever.

-I'll just walk her to the car, yeah?

-OK.

What's wrong with you?

I've got cancer.

What's it like?

You shouldn't ask questions like that.

No, no, no, it's all right. What's it like having cancer?

It's not nice.

Can't they make you better?

Some things you can't fix.

So...when you die, Terry will be all alone.

He's got his own family.

But he won't have his mum and dad.

Anyone ever told you that you talk too much?

I bet they have.

Hey, hey. Would you look at that?

It's fantastic. I was about to throw it away.

Tell you what, Jude.

I think you've given your mum and dad time enough, don't you?

They'll be sending out a search party, I bet.

Hey...

thanks.

-I'll see you later on, OK?

-OK.

Mr Cothern, can I have a word?

You are aware that knowingly employing failed asylum seekers

carries a possible two-year sentence?

I haven't employed any asylum seekers, as far as I know.

Just tell me where I can find Ramin.

Sorry? Terry, what's this all about?

This guy took a beating trying to save my business and my dad.

-Just walk away. Get the kids.

-OK.

Excuse me, so all you need is this man's address

-and you'll leave my husband alone?

-Yes.

Oh, by the way,

I spoke to those people at Global Asylum and they were brilliant.

Your patient, he doesn't have to go back.

Not if he's gay and there's a chance that he's going to be tortured.

It's too late now, isn't it? He's gone.

KNOCK AT DOOR

Can I help you?

Hello, sir, we're looking for an asylum seeker.

-Ramin Tehrani?

-I don't understand.

-Mr Tehrani, sir? Ramin Tehrani?

What do you want? What's going on?

Ugh!

HE GRUNTS

I just wish you and I

could've talked more to each other when you were younger.

Since your mum died, I've not coped very well.

And that's my fault, is it?

No, I didn't mean that.

We do care, you know, Dad. Me and Lorraine.

Your grandkids.

Don't know what to say.

I'm sorry.

I apologise.

You should have said that's how you were feeling.

I'm not a mind-reader.

Well neither am I, Dad!

Here are those medical records you wanted sent over.

-Oh, thank you.

-Hi, Ash.

Thanks.

I just wanted to review his notes before we send him home.

He was referred to Dr Davin at St James' for GI investigations.

Is this everything?

That's all they sent. Why?

There's stuff missing.

I know Dr Davin. I'll give him a call.

Mum, what did Dad say when he spoke to you?

Is he coming home?

We need to let your mum rest, sweetheart.

Mum?

I'm sorry.

I'm going to talk to him!

No, Jude!

Jude! Where you been?

What did you say to Mum?

I'll tell you about it on the way home.

-You're coming to stay with me for a while.

-I'm not leaving her. She can't live on her own.

Jude, darling, your father's worried about you.

I'm not leaving my mum, and I'm NOT going to live with YOU.

Ju...

Thanks, Dr Davin.

You know, I've been thinking,

the football season kicks off any minute.

I'd like to see a few games before I call it a day, so...

I will go back and see my GP,

and see if they can do anything for me.

Stan, why didn't you go back to get your test results?

I didn't see the point.

Because if you had, they would have told you that you don't have cancer.

Say that again.

He hasn't got cancer.

He's got diverticular disease.

Yes, well, the last time I saw my GP,

she was the one who talked to me about cancer.

The possibility of cancer, yes.

It has a lot of symptoms that mimic colon cancer,

but it's totally different.

-And is it...?

-Treatable? Very.

That's why your doctor sent you for the tests.

I knew you should have gone back for those results.

-PHONE BEEPS

-It's Lorraine and the kids. Shall I fetch them in?

No, no, you tell them the good news.

You bring them in tonight.

-SHE GROANS IN PAIN

-Mum? What's the matter with her, what's happening?

Come with me, Jude. Listen to me.

-Listen to me, Jude. Listen, listen to me, Jude.

-Mum, Mum?

Listen. Come with me, OK?

We're not helping your mum if we stay here.

OK, she's going to be fine. Come with me, OK?

She's going to be fine.

Trust me, she's going to be fine.

Hey, Jude, don't you worry.

Your mum will get through this, I'm sure.

Nothing is as bad as it seems. OK?

Oh, Karen, would you mind keeping an eye on him for me?

Thank you. Jude, I'll see you in a bit, OK?

Right, she's tachycardic...

There's not much of a radial pulse.

Broad complex on the monitor.

Her potassium levels must have risen after that gas.

She's going into ventricular tachycardia.

Right, can I get 10ml of 10% calcium gluconate?

And we need to get insulin and dextrose ASAP in her, please.

Jane! Can you hear me? Sam, her GCS is falling.

-I've lost her pulse.

-OK, she's pulseless VT. Let's shock her.

Pads on.

Pads on.

OK. Charging. Everyone away.

Oxygen away. Shocking.

-We've got an output.

-Great.

Can I get ITU down here and get onto orthopods

and let them know she needs an emergency fasciotomy, thank you.

-Shh...

-Right, drugs going in.

Lorraine! Lorraine!

My dad - he hasn't got cancer!

Oh, I'm so relieved. That's such brilliant news.

I want to thank you both - everyone. It's...

-Where are the kids?

-They're in the car.

The damage to her muscles caused a release of potassium into her blood.

This made her heart go into an abnormal rhythm

called ventricular tachycardia.

What's going to happen now?

We're going to continue the treatment to lower the potassium

and she'll go to theatre and they'll release the pressure on the muscles.

She's not out of the woods yet

and she'll have a long recovery period

-due to the fracture, but I'd be optimistic.

-How long...

till she's mobile?

Till she can take care of herself?

I'd say at least two months.

You know I'm happy for Jude to live with us.

I can't take him away from his mother.

You want to move her in with us too?

I'm not living with your wife, Edwyn.

No, that's not what I meant. We'll postpone you moving in.

It'd only be until she was better.

The flat will be fixed up by then and she can move back there.

I'll make sure she gets help.

If I don't do this, I will lose Jude.

He'll never forgive me.

I can't do this.

Because you know what? You're never going to be free of her.

Tell me I'm wrong.

She's...his...mother.

I can't tell you how relieved I am.

Feels like a massive weight's been lifted. You OK?

Yeah. Come on, kids. Get in the car.

I sorted it, with that cop.

What do you mean?

I mean I gave him that man's name and address. Ramin Tehrani.

What's happened?

The police came to my house.

They know I'm here illegally.

By tonight I'll be locked up.

-What happened to your leg?

-I jumped.

Where's my mum?

She's being looked after

and we just need to wait a while and see how she is.

You should talk to your dad, Jude.

Give him a chance.

He loves you very much.

Did he really say that?

Yeah. Come on, I'll take you to him.

There you go. Can you see him?

He's taken her back. For the boy's sake.

The girlfriend walked.

Well, you're hardly jumping for joy.

I mean, he's doing the right thing,

but I can't help but feel sorry for the fella.

Tess, it's me. There's nothing to worry about - it's just a work call.

You really didn't tell me how hard your job is, did you?

Listen, you haven't got to phone me back or anything.

I've just got a toothache

and I was hoping to get one of your motivational talks.

You're in charge, yes?

-Yeah.

-OK, come with me.

Can you check for a Ramin Tehrani, please.

Look, I know what happens in your country if you're gay.

Come on.

This is my business, Lorraine. You had no right

talking to the police.

Are you stupid? You heard what he said.

You could go down for two years. Then what would happen to us?

I'm not going to prison. He was just trying to frighten me.

Well, he frightened me, OK!

-Yes, it is!

-Will you two be quiet?!

Can we get some help here, please?

Can you get the doors?

OK, we should be safe in here for a moment.

But you're going to have to tell them you're gay.

I can't do that.

Yes, you can. You have no choice.

You have to make a new claim for asylum and tell him what you are.

No.

You have grounds for appeal. Don't you understand? It's the law.

KNOCK AT DOOR Zoe? Zoe?

You've no idea what you've done, have you?

I've done what you SHOULD have done.

You've had it too long!

No, I haven't - you've had it longer than I have.

Is there something you're not telling me?

-Shut up!

-No, you!

Will you both calm down?!

Watch out!

Oh, God!

Oh, my God!

Oh, my God!

-Who's in there?

-Mr Tehrani?

-We can't stay in here. Are you OK?

-Mr Tehrani!

Jamie, if you're in there, you need to open the door, mate.

-KNOCKING

-Open up!

If I tell the police I'm gay, they'll find out.

Open this door now!

Who? OK. Just...

can you just give me a minute, please? We'll be right out. ..Who?

The authorities in Iran.

They don't just hang people like us.

They attack our families.

-KNOCKING

-Open this door now!

Jamie, listen to me, mate, just open the door for me, will you?!

OK, I'll help you.

BANGING Open up now!

Help me, somebody, please!

What happened?!

She threw something and it hit me on the head.

I am going to get an armed response unit on standby

so I need you to evacuate the whole area.

She needs help. Kidnapping your grandson isn't normal.

OK, this guy is going to arrest. Do you think Jamie can handle

a tension pneumothorax alone?

In a fast-running ED on a day like today, I need to trust

that I can tell my staff what to do and they will do it.
