Valves to Vagrants Casualty

-We're swamped in here!

-I'm doing everything I can.

I'm on to management for a new consultant, a registrar is covering.

Maybe I was wrong.

But you had no right to do what you did.

You let me down.

We just need to clear some cubicle space, guys,

we are overstretched and undermanned.

You're not doing this to me again, do you understand?

-Doing what?

-Stay out of my way!

The trust cannot be seen to condone this kind of conduct.

For this reason I am issuing you with a formal written warning.

-No! I don't know!

-You don't know?

Look, just get off my case, will you?

I can't think straight, please!

I will not have my staff shouting in front of patients,

do I make myself clear?

-Yes.

-Crystal.

You know, I've just had her in here asking if she could stay on longer.

I think you should say yes.

-Are you joking?

-I think I misjudged her.

Thank you. Have a nice day.

And he just stood there, naked as the day he was born.

I literally saw everything!

Oh, I'll tell you later.

Whoa, whoa, steady, steady.

OK, can you go and sit down, please?

Hey, mate?

If you're going to be sick, the toilet's over there, yeah?

This way.

They're not going to get all moral on us, are they?

Who?

The doctors.

Cos, we really need to keep this from our dad.

I'm not in first thing. Study period.

What are you going to study?

The life and times of Logan Henderson?

Can you blame me?

Not my type.

-Erm, I've got to go. See you later.

-See ya.

So, you're going like that, are you?

Study period.

Ah.

And what about the Paris meeting?

Oh, no. I forgot.

Mum?

Is my black skirt clean?

Mum!

OK. Make yourself comfortable, I'll be back in a minute.

All right, trouble?

They don't look too good.

And you'd know all about that after last Friday, wouldn't you?

Right, firstly, you made me drink that tequila. Se...

Ah! Made you?!

-Look if you can't handle the feeling don't go tequila-ing.

-Brilliant.

No. She doesn't appear to be here yet.

Wrong place.

Erm...

no-one seems to be in charge. No, they're not understaffed.

SHE RETCHES

-My sister!

-Cal!

-OK, sweetheart.

-All right, let's get her through to resus.

Pulse is 90. Max, can you come give us a hand, please?

What is it? What's wrong with her?

Don't know as yet, I'm afraid.

How much has she had to drink?

We haven't drunk anything.

So she's taken something?

Right, we need to know.

-Nothing. Well, nothing illegal.

-Right, we need a name.

I, I, I can't remember.

They, they were... They were pills.

Legal pills. OK, we need to know a bit more.

I suppose we can rule out paracetamol?

Shall I get it?

No. It's not important.

Who's El?

-Elaine Ross.

-My French teacher?

Mais oui.

That is yes, I think, in French. Or "but yes", something like that.

I didn't know you were friendly with her.

Well, I'm not.

But we do happen to work together at the same school,

if you hadn't noticed.

Mmm.

POLICE RADIO: 'Any progress, over?'

Yeah, we tried the flat, he's not there.

We're en route to check out the wife.

My bet is she'll know where he is.

Good morning.

I'm Mrs Beauchamp, your new consultant. What have we got?

Er, this is Jodie Ware. She's 22.

Er, she and her brother have taken a legal substance which appears

to have had an adverse effect on Jodie.

Temperature's 40. BP 130 over 90.

Pulse is 100, resps 30

and sats 95%.

All right. Let's have bloods, LFT, Us and Es,

FBC, glucose, paracetamol and salicylate.

Let's have a urinalysis as well, please.

Do we know what they've taken?

It's just meant to keep you awake.

Well, it wasn't working for your sister.

Who is she?

I have no idea.

Intuition tells me this isn't Zoe's appointment.

It was just for the exams.

Your exams are so important

you'd risk taking something you know nothing about?

I've just remembered, erm...

She's got the receipt.

It's erm...

It's called Cyclonoid.

Cyclonoid?

I know someone who's taken that.

-You?

-No, never.

But I can find out more about it.

Check TOXBASE?

Yes, please.

All right. She's developed arrhythmia and is sinus tachycardic.

Let's have oxygen and a 12-lead ECG, please.

Is she all right?

For now.

Next time I suggest you work harder.

Look, I'm working, can we not just do this when I'm finished?

Oh, I'm sorry, my mistake.

I should have said we're having a word, like it or not.

I need to know where Grant is.

I've got a warrant for his arrest.

I don't know where he is.

Stop messing me about. Just tell me where he is.

I don't know.

Anyway, I've told you this.

He didn't do it, he was with me.

You know, I actually thought he was going to go straight.

But we have him.

In glorious black and white,

coming out the betting shop, gun in hand.

Yeah, well, it wasn't him.

Oh, so you mean we've chased the wrong man for nearly two miles.

-You know, we're that dumb?

-Oh, no, you chased the right guy, it just wasn't Grant.

Ah, cos he was with you, yeah? That right?

Do you really think that anyone's going to believe you?

You're pregnant with his kid.

He's making a fool of you.

Like the way he made a fool of me.

He wouldn't do that, he likes you.

Oh, I bet he does. I listened to his bull.

I stood up for him at his parole hearing.

I know. But this baby means everything to him.

He's not going to risk going inside again.

Don't you believe it.

BP?

-90 over 60.

-Pulse?

-80.

Right, she's stabilising.

Tess Bateman.

Connie.

I know. It's like I've never been away.

This is Doctor Ashford, one of our consultants.

Of course. Yes.

It's good to put a face to the name.

When I've finished here a guided tour would be nice.

-Of course.

-Thank you.

All right. How are you feeling? Any pain?

Where?

OK. Let's give her five of morphine, please.

So, this is THE Connie Beauchamp?

THE same.

Zoe didn't say anything.

She rang earlier to say she'd been delayed,

so maybe she doesn't know.

That's not good.

It sounds as if the coup's already happened.

I think it's just started.

Ah, great, this is all I need(!)

HORNS BEEP

-Has anyone called an ambulance?

-Yes, I did.

Are you OK?

Arrgh!

Dad! Dad! Dad!

Oh, all right, all right.

What's happening? Is he all right?

My leg. My ankle.

-Try and stay calm.

-Argh!

-I'm a doctor.

Grant!

What? What you doing here?

Is... Is everything all right? Is the baby OK?

Yeah. Yeah, the baby's fine.

The police came to work. They're looking for you.

Can't they just leave it alone?

She says that she's got you on CCTV doing over that bookies.

No.

No, that weren't me. I told 'em that.

Well then, why did you make me say that I was with you?

Because I got sent down for three years, for something I didn't do.

And I am not going to risk that happening again.

Where were you, then?

I don't really matter where I was.

I haven't done anything. Look, you have got to believe me.

Come here.

She's here.

-What?

-The policewoman.

No, no, that's OK, don't look around, don't look around. You go.

-And I'll see you back at the flat, OK?

-But...

No.

-They're going to fit me up, OK, so you go.

-Grant!

You go.

He's clocked us.

Grant!

Grant!

HE PANTS

Anything?

Yeah. Erm, you can buy it off a New Zealand website.

It's about £20 a gram

-and it's a stimulant similar to amphetamine.

-Excellent.

Anything like an amphetamine would have increased the heart rate

and if there was an underlying problem it could have been triggered by the drug.

Very good. Leave the cardiologist to do the rest.

-Ah. You know her then?

-Oh, yes.

Unfortunately not intimately.

-Where from?

-Uni.

She won't remember me, though. I was just a student.

Well, she's got a lot going for her.

-Yeah. In more ways than one.

-Hmm.

Are we happy to have her transferred?

I'm happy, yes.

Robyn, could you transfer her to CCU, please?

Yeah, sure.

Erm, look, if, erm, if Jodie asks where I've gone

just tell her I've gone to try and appease Odin.

-Odin?

-My dad.

It's Caleb, isn't it?

Ah, it's Cal, actually.

Cal?

Yeah, it's just what I prefer.

Oh. Right, Cal.

You studied at UCL, hmm?

Yes, I did.

I, er, used to give an annual lecture there.

I seem to remember you asking me why I'd settled on cardiothoracics.

And I remember you replied,

"Why would you settle for brown ale when champagne is on offer?"

Well, yes, it was a little pretentious but, er,

I think I got my point across.

Really nice to have you in the department, Connie.

Mrs Beauchamp.

Could you show me to my office now?

-Please help me. Help me.

-Just try and stay still for me, yeah?

Hey, Zoe, you OK?

Don't ask. Can you see to the girl?

I haven't had a chance to look at her yet.

-After my job, doc?

-Very funny.

All right, Mac, let's have you in the back, mate. OK, sweetheart?

I'm Jeff, I'm a paramedic.

Can you tell me your name and where it hurts?

Milly. It's my chest and shoulder.

OK, Milly, I'm just going to have a look at you, OK?

Maybe give you something for the pain.

OK, Jeff, this is Sacha over here,

he's got deep lacerations to his thigh

and he's got a fractured left ankle.

I'm trying to stem the bleed over here.

Don't worry about me, can you just make sure she's OK, please?

Don't worry, she's in safe hands.

Cannula in him then, we'll get a collar on her, Mac, all right?

OK, I'll take the head.

Can you throw me a tourniquet and some gloves, please, Mac?

All right, sweetheart, doing really well.

Here you are, lovely. There's your phone, I found it in the back.

I'll just pop it in there, OK? Don't want to lose that.

All right, angel, nearly there.

Let me take a look at your face.

CRASHING

Give it up, Grant!

Argh! Argh!

SHE MOANS

Get after him!

Don't worry about me! Just get him!

I think he might be there.

Thought you said he came through here.

You must have missed him.

What would you like me to do with these?

Dr Ashford, there's an RTC inbound.

Right, find Lily and can you guys

make sure the walking wounded keep moving?

Mrs Beauchamp.

Ethan Hardy? I've just met your brother.

Oh, it's a privilege to be working with you.

Someone's been doing their homework.

I'm surprised you don't know the names of the receptionists.

Today they are Louise Tyler and Noel Garcia?

We normally pick them up in resus.

Yes, I'd like to see the process from start to finish.

Oh. So I wasn't seeing things.

No, she's back.

Do we know what she's doing here?

A little undercover work, maybe?

Lily. Dr Ashford wants me and you.

I'm working to Doctor Hanna.

In the eyes of Doctor Ashford I'm a failure.

But under Doctor Hanna's tutelage he will see he was wrong.

So please inform him I don't need the likes of you to spy on me.

He just wanted me to keep on top of the walking wounded.

He mentioned nothing about spying.

All right, I'll take this patient, you take the daughter.

Any more casualties?

Erm, not that I am aware of.

Erm... Sorry, you aren't...?

Yes. yes, I am.

Good. I thought I was in some weird kind of time warp for a minute.

Er, Max, come on, mate, on your feet, patients!

There you go.

Ah, there you go. Erm, straight through to resus, please, Max.

So, where do you work?

I don't. I still go to school.

It's a radical way to get a day off. Which school?

Holby High.

Oh, my daughter goes there. Ella Ashford. Do you know her?

Yeah. She's a mate.

Oh, in that case we'll have to take extra special care of you.

Doctor Hanna?

Doctor Ashford has asked me to concentrate on the walking wounded.

-OK.

-Is there anything you need, before I continue?

Yes. Just a change of clothes and something for my headache.

The car he was driving hit a stationary vehicle.

He wasn't KO'd, GCS has been 15 throughout, query fractured left ankle

and he has a laceration to his thigh above the right knee,

extensive bruising to the sternum and abdomen,

bit of a bang on the head.

BP is 110 systolic, pulse 90, sats are at 95%.

He's had 10 of morphine so far and 750 of saline. OK?

-OK.

-All right.

-Thank you.

-OK!

All right, Sacha.

I'm just going to see where the damage is. How's the pain?

Still there.

Airway is clear. Let's give five of morphine.

Right, we'll get your shoulder X-rayed and see what's going on.

-Cubicles, please, Rita.

-OK.

PHONE RINGS

Oh, it's my phone.

Do you want me to answer it?

Yes, please.

OK.

Hello, Milly's phone.

'Who's that?'

I'm a nurse, from Holby City Hospital.

I'm afraid Milly's been in an accident.

OK.

Erm...

'Can I ask who's calling?'

No.

Is her dad there?

Yeah,

um...

He's also been involved in the accident.

Well, how bad is he?

I'm sorry, I can't give that sort of information out over the phone.

Can I ask who's...

Hung up.

-Who was it?

-Don't know. Didn't say.

Is there a name on caller ID?

E-L?

HE GASPS

BELL RINGS

You got a minute?

As long as it's on the move.

Who does this belong to?

-The new consultant.

-What new consultant?

You mean you don't know?

No, I thought we were meant to be drawing up a shortlist this week.

Well, I think that shortlist has already been drawn up

and I think there's only one name on it.

Er, Charlie, I need your help here.

-In a minute.

-Jodie Ware's father's on the phone.

Professor Ware? On the hospital board of trustees?

-Right.

-It's the third time he's rung, he's threatening to do all sorts.

-What does he want?

-To speak to the doctor treating his daughter,

-but Mrs Beauchamp's busy at the minute.

-Who?

-Mrs Beauchamp.

Resus.

Let's get an X-ray of that leg.

Sorry I'm late, everyone.

-You OK?

-Ah, Zoe Hanna.

Yeah. I'm fine.

-Nice to meet you.

-Hello.

Oh, I take it you weren't expecting me.

-No. I wasn't.

-OK, well, blame Guy Self.

I thought he'd, er, run it past you.

No. He hasn't.

I'm sorry, I don't know what else to say.

(Well, there's plenty I can say.)

I don't ever remember Nick Jordan having to share an office.

-Different times.

-She IS a good doctor.

-Oh, what, and Nick wasn't?

-No, that's not what I meant.

Look, this is your department, we all know that.

But having good back-up can't be a bad thing.

-If that's what she's here for.

-Excuse me.

I just don't get it, why would a top cardiothoracic surgeon

want to come down to an emergency department

when we know there's no money or glory to be had

in emergency medicine?

-A bit odd, isn't it?

-But it's the fact...

Robyn, are you still keen on getting experience for this trauma training?

Yeah.

Well, the paramedic duty officer has just called me back.

There's a minor accident at some event.

Jeff and Mac are outside. So if it's all right with them,

-you can go.

-Yes!

Er, Guy Self, please.

Yeah, it's Connie.

Er, it's er... Zoe.

Oh, well tell him I'm coming up to see him.

And before you ask, yes, he does know what it's about.

I'm going up.

Ah, Tess. Professor Ware was wanting to speak to me?

Do you have a number for me?

-Charlie was dealing with that. I'll go and ask him.

-Thank you.

Going somewhere?

Ah, yeah, I'm trying to gain trauma experience

so the paramedics said I could go out on a shout with them.

Oh, Zoe?

Sorry, just wanted to know the, um, policy

for doctors attending emergency cases in situ?

It's not something that we make a habit of.

Maybe in exceptional circumstances,

but normally we leave the paramedics to it. They're very good.

I won't be long, just off to see Guy Self.

So, first we'll get your leg plastered.

-Dad!

-Milly.

Sweetheart. You OK?

Yeah. I've just got to get an X-ray.

Has anyone rung Mum?

Er...no, not yet, but maybe we should leave it,

-she'll just get worried.

-What? We can't leave it.

Do you want me to give her a call?

-Yeah, thank you.

-OK.

So what are we going to tell her?

Oh. Well, the truth.

I swerved to avoid that dog.

-What dog?

-Oh, you didn't see it

because you were messing around with my phone.

Which you tried to grab.

That was purely incidental.

It was Mrs Ross.

And she rang again. Half an hour ago.

What's going on, Dad?

Why are you lying about what happened?

What are you hiding?

Nothing.

I'm not lying.

Nothing.

-But...

-But what?

OK. What's the number?

I'll give you a mobile.

She'll be, erm, she'll be out probably, um, 0732..

5...

Come on, Olivia.

I know you lied about his alibi.

You weren't with him.

So where was he?

I'm Jeff, I'm a paramedic.

All right, what have you done, then?

Well, it's my wrist mainly.

I took a tumble from up there.

-All right, let's have a look. This one, yeah?

-Not very traumatic.

The first aider here said to keep it supported.

Yeah, well, he obviously knows what he's talking about.

I think you may have sprained that.

You'll have to come in to the ED, I think.

What were you doing up the scaffold?

She was after my husband.

Oh, been a bad boy, has he?

Armed robbery. He's a bit of an escape artist, actually.

He ran for a couple of miles last time before giving us the slip.

Yeah, and he's managed to give you the slip again.

But he had to kick me in the face to do it.

-Let me have a look.

-There's somebody up there.

-It's probably the riggers, love.

-No, no. Look.

Grant!

Can we get some light up there, please?

Yeah, it's going to be tricky. It's one for the fire service,

I think. Can you give them a call, please?

Yeah, let them know what they're in for.

He's not moving. There's something seriously wrong.

Er, er, boss, boss, you can't do that!

-Er...

-She can't do that!

-No, no, I know, you stay and hold the fort here, mate,

one of us is going to have to, I suppose, aren't I?

She's amazing.

Health and safety are going to have a heart attack.

I'm sure she wouldn't mind.

In fact, I think it would be a boost for the whole department.

-Guy?

-Yeah. Er, any problems, get back to me.

That was the press office.

They want to run an article about Connie joining your department.

Headline, "From valves to vagrants." What do you think?

I thought we were both drawing up

a shortlist of potential candidates.

Yeah, all of a sudden it didn't seem necessary.

Well, I should have a say, it is my department.

She walked into my office the other day,

just after you'd been harassing me for another consultant

and I thought, opportunity too good to miss, didn't want to delay,

she might go somewhere else and I didn't want to lose her.

But why was she in your office in the first place?

Did she even know there was a job on offer?

-No.

-Total coincidence?

-Total.

-I don't get it,

the last I heard she was in Switzerland or somewhere

having money thrown at her for research.

Yeah, and apparently she wants to get back on the front line.

She's done all the necessary retraining as an ED consultant

and she said that Holby was where her heart was.

I just don't get it.

There's nothing to get, Zoe.

Connie wanted in on emergency medicine, so why not our ED?

-She'll be great back-up for you.

-Ugh. Back-up?

Absolutely. Martin Ashford is good, but he's not Connie Beauchamp.

Martin Ashford is a trained emergency physician.

Whereas Connie Beauchamp is just a surgeon.

And one of the best surgeons this hospital has ever had.

-I don't care!

-You don't pass up working with the best, Zoe.

You need her. Make sure she's made welcome.

I'm having dinner with her tonight,

no doubt she'll tell me all about today.

I'm sure she will.

'Grant, can you hear me?'

Grant!

Grant!

You know what I think this is?

Suspension syndrome.

Really?

Yeah.

OK. Well we need to get him down sharpish then, don't we?

Yeah.

All right.

Give me the oxygen.

-Are you serious?

-Yeah. Come on.

All right. But you be careful.

I don't need two casualties on my hands.

Ready?

Yeah.

I'm right behind ya.

Grant?

My name is Connie,

I'm a doctor.

All right?

Not good.

-OK.

-I'm going to give you a little oxygen,

to help you breathe a little more easily, all right?

You know what, Jeff?

Given the position, I think we're right with, er, suspension syndrome.

-OK.

-We need to get him down, now!

-OK.

-All right.

Hey?

Can we get that crane over here, please!

You all right!?

Yeah.

-You OK?!

-Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,

just, just get that crane over here now, please!

Police will want to talk to me, won't they?

I would've thought so, yeah. Do you know what you're going to say?

I don't know.

-Ella?

-Oh, hey. I heard you'd had a crash.

You heard?

Yeah. Someone at school saw it.

I wanted to see how you were.

-How's your dad?

-Ella.

What are you doing here?

I've come to see Milly.

I had a couple of free periods, so...

Ah, that's good of you.

We're just about to sort her out.

As we thought, you've fractured your humerus.

Ah, Doctor Chao.

-Hello, how are you?

-I'm good, thanks.

Could you get a nurse to sort Milly out with some co-dydramol, please?

-It's all right. I'll do it.

-Thanks.

You can stay with her, if you like.

Um, where's Milly's dad?

Cubicle three. Why?

I need to speak to him.

What about?

Well, he's giving me extra maths lessons,

I just need to check if I need another tutor.

It can wait.

No, it can't. I need to sort it now.

OK. You don't want me falling behind, do you?

OK,

I need to check some results,

come with me, I'll take you through.

-OK, send him down!

-Yep, yep.

-Bring him over, mate!

-All right, yeah. Yeah.

-Slacken off a bit.

-OK, lower him down, mate, lower him down!

-There we go!

-I've got ya fella, I've got ya.

Bit more, bit more. More.

Go.

-All right, make sure you keep him upright.

-Bit more, Mac!

-OK, yeah, I gotcha.

-Yeah?

-I gotcha. Yeah, there you are.

Well done, well done.

You all right!?

You OK? You OK?

Yeah. Yeah.

OK. Connie look at me!

-You're going to have to come up.

-OK.

OK, you are going to have to take my arm

-and you are going to have to come up.

-OK.

Just grab my arm.

Oh.

Grab my arm.

-OK. Oh, I can't reach.

-Come on. Stretch.

-Can't reach.

OK, OK. All right, come on, stretch, stretch!

I've gotcha, I've gotcha!

Come on, climb,

climb, climb!

Come on, lady!

Come on!

No!

Oh! Oh!

Well, you don't get that in cardiothoracics.

OK. OK. Let's have you, come on. That's it, come on.

You still here?

You saw, didn't you?

Sorry?

El.

On his phone.

Then Ella turns up out of the blue.

-Er, it could be a coincidence.

-She wouldn't, would she?

Not with my dad.

I'm her friend.

If you want to know, you should ask him.

What?

Ask my dad if he's...

sleeping with my best friend?

And what if I'm wrong?

He'd never forgive me.

I can help you. If...you want?

How?

Last number redial. Give me your phone.

Wait here.

SIREN WAILS

What's going to happen to me?

Well, first, I'm going to try and make you well.

And the rest, I'm afraid, is not in my remit.

Would you like me to monitor his blood sugar?

It might have been best if you'd just left me.

Don't you even think of it.

You just focus on your wife,

and your baby.

She left the department.

Without Zoe's permission?

Yeah.

-Now Zoe is on the war path.

-No surprise there.

Oh, is it OK if my daughter has a quick word?

Um, yeah. I suppose so, yeah.

So what are you doing here?

-I've come to see you.

-But I don't want to see you.

-Why not?

-Because I don't.

You'd rather I told my dad, would you?

About us?

PHONE RINGS

It's you calling me.

Well, don't answer it.

-Why not?

-Because it's not me, is it?

I think this is yours.

-Don't worry. She's outside.

-Yeah, but I want to see her.

We just need to sort you out first.

Is this the patient with suspension syndrome?

If it wasn't for Robyn we'd have missed him.

Can I have a word, please?

You left the department after I told you not to?

Sorry, you said you usually leave it to the paramedics.

I didn't see that as a direct order not to go.

You have a duty of care to the patients here and now.

Working in this department is very different from working the wards.

Well, um, Guy thought it wise

that I get acquainted with all aspects of the department, so...

I mean, if you prefer we can take it up with him, I really don't mind.

Oh. Let's try and get over this lapse of judgment on your part.

Put it down to inexperience.

I'll know to ask next time.

And unless it's exceptional circumstances, I can tell you now,

the answer will be no.

Mmm-hmm.

Pulse, please.

It was 180 over 160, down to 100 now.

So what's the diagnosis?

This was an acute episode of SVT which settled spontaneously.

Let's have some adenosine on stand-by just in case

we have another run of it.

Patient said this was the first time it happened,

but I think we'll may find that's not the case.

-Robyn, see if you can dig out any history.

-Yeah, sure.

Where do you think you're going?

-Back to school.

-You were supposed to be my friend.

-I AM your friend.

So why were you calling my dad?

-Why did you want to see him?

-For maths lessons.

-He doesn't teach you!

The truth, Ella.

We're in a relationship.

What?

You wanted the truth.

I need to speak to the doctor who first treated my daughter.

-I want to know what happened.

-Ah. Right. Er...

And your daughter is?

Jodie Ware. She came in with me.

That's right.

Er, it was Mrs Beauchamp.

I'm afraid she might not be available for some time.

Mrs Beauchamp?

Yeah, she initially treated your daughter.

I thought she worked in cardiothoracics?

Not any more.

We'll come back at the end of shift.

Do you really think that anyone's going to believe you?

You admitted he wasn't with you. You lied about his alibi.

Hope you've got good childcare,

cos someone's going to need to look after that baby

when you go to jail for perjury.

Excuse me, sorry. Can I have a word with you about Grant's medical condition?

Yes.

Thanks.

I swear.

I tried to make her stop calling me.

But she wouldn't stop.

You must have done something to encourage her.

Well?

OK.

She was in this pub.

I thought when she saw a teacher she'd be out of there, but no,

she thought it was really funny

to be drinking in the same place as a teacher.

We had a few drinks,

and some point later on...

..we kissed.

And that's all.

Just the once.

I knew it was a mistake, straightaway.

I knew it was a mistake,

but she wouldn't let it go.

No, she wouldn't take no for an answer.

She just kept on pestering me and...

It was stupid. Silly.

A mistake.

But I promise you that's all it was, a mistake.

Don't tell your mum, please.

This isn't her fault.

She doesn't need to know.

And that's up to you. And whatever, I'm informing the school.

Your wife's here to collect you. Shall I send her in?

OK.

All right, Grant, this may make you feel a little bit odd,

but it just means the medication is working.

Grant, darling!

Olivia, tell Mrs Beauchamp what you just told me.

Er... He... He collapsed once, he was playing football,

but he never talks about it, he says it makes him look weak.

There's a conductive abnormality in the trace.

Yeah. Well, extreme exertion can bring on arrhythmia.

Is he going to be all right?

I'm hoping so. I think there's an underlying problem, maybe valve disease.

-How you feeling, Grant?

-Yeah.

Darling, I don't know what to do.

The policewoman is saying that she's going to arrest me for lying.

And if she does that, they're going to take our baby away.

No-one's taking your baby away.

Well, we can't be sure of that.

You have to tell them the truth.

I think you should listen to him.

Yeah, we... We can't risk them talking the baby away.

See, I'll do the time, I'll do it, I've done it before and I'll do it again.

Right. I'll arrange to get you sent up to CCU.

Everything's going to be all right, OK?

Now, the police thing, you ran, what? A couple of miles?

Oh, I know, someone in your condition couldn't possibly have done that.

So where were you?

-So you're not denying it?

-I'm not denying we kissed.

He's old enough to be your father.

Well, maybe I was looking for the father I never had.

-Don't, Ella.

-He led ME on.

I don't know who's to blame here. He should know better!

I would never have tried to see him if he hadn't encouraged me.

Whatever. There needs to be some changes in your life, girl.

What sort of changes?

I'm going to speak to your mother

and arrange for you to come and stay with me for a while.

-Why?

-Because... you need some boundaries!

And I'm your father.

And YOU are the reason why I came back to Holby.

Fine. If that's what you want!

OK, hang on, hang on!

-We're taking him up to CCU.

-Is he going to be all right?

Well it's too soon to tell, but I'm very hopeful.

If you hadn't lied about his alibi, this never would have happened.

I can see why she did. Well, given his condition,

any strenuous activity could have brought on an episode.

Like running a couple of miles.

I think he would have found that virtually impossible.

-But we have him on CCTV.

-You have someone on CCTV.

I doubt very much it's Grant Tindal.

Not running that kind of distance.

Let me guess, the CCTV footage wasn't crystal clear.

Now, with knowledge of his new-found condition,

if I was a defence barrister, I'd fancy my odds.

You know, maybe you got it wrong, eh?

-Let it go.

-Maybe.

Thank you.

Look, I shouldn't say this, but Grant didn't want to say anything

because he was trying to buy something for the baby.

He just didn't want to jinx it.

Sorry, Mrs Beauchamp, erm...

Zoe and Professor Ware would like to speak to you.

OK. Good luck. Get me Jodie Ware's file.

Peter, it's been a while.

My daughter's been admitted.

I want to find out what treatment she received when she first arrived

and why there was such a delay in her diagnosis.

I tried to get through on the phone.

Professor Ware would like to make a complaint.

Your son and daughter took a substance

that we were unfamiliar with.

I have a receipt here for Cyclonoid.

You're an emergency doctor.

Isn't it your job to know these things?

I would have thought YOU

would know what you're purchasing for your children, Peter.

That is your name on the credit card information, isn't it?

You've been using my credit cards?

You gave me it.

I told you about the exam aids

and you said I should buy some for Jodie.

I meant legal aids.

But they are legal.

Do you see the problem?

Yes.

Of course.

Well, the good news is your daughter should make a full recovery.

Nice to see you again, Peter.

That shut him up.

Robyn?

Yeah?

I've had a message about you from our new consultant.

She wanted me to know how impressed she's been with you today.

Really?

I believe you're edging closer to that Advanced Trauma Nursing course.

Ah! Fab!

If you need any help with it, you can always ask me. Any time.

OK, thanks.

Can you put me through to haematology? Yes, I can wait.

OK, thank you. Bye-bye.
