Gloves Off Casualty

Marry me? Yeah, right(!)

A little snog? No! That's how you got yourself here in the first place.

Kinky.

Hello. Listen. I did not know that angels could drink coffee.

Looks like you could do with one as well. And a bath.

Are you trying to say that I'm dirty? More like repulsive.

Thanks(!) What did she say? Nothing. Just that you've had a long night

and we need to get you sorted. What did she say to me?

Ryan! Listen, you... You can't just barge in there.

Just calm down. Do you want me to throw you through the doors?

Oi! Ow! Do you want me to call security?

What's all the fuss about? It's nothing we can't handle.

Looks like it(!) Right, young man, do you want me to call the police?

Because I cannot have you talking to my colleagues that way.

# I could have been someone

# But so could anyone... #

Don't give up your day job, son.

# I gave my dreams away. #

Marry me! No, not tonight. Come on.

Dee! Breakfast.

How many times do I have to call you?

You're meant to knock first.

Are those what I think they are?

They're painkillers, that's all. I've got a headache.

Maybe I should stay at home with you today. I don't feel that well.

Well, you need to give the pill time to work, don't you?

Look, you're probably hungry. Come downstairs and have some breakfast.

Darius isn't going to want you to fade away, is he?

I'd better go.

Dee!

Hi. You're early.

Morning, Mrs Mordin. Good morning, Darius. Dee...

let's do something together at the weekend. Come on. Let's go.

I could wash your car for you if you let me take Dee out in it one day.

Come back to me when you're 17 and then we can talk.

What's this about you and your mum going away at the weekend?

Nothing. She's just feeling guilty, that's all. What's she got to feel guilty about?

Lily?

That patient you clashed with in reception... Mr Repulsive?

You can't talk to people like that. And you'd prefer me to flirt

with every lecherous drunk that walks in here? No.

But you could try diplomacy.

Maybe diplomacy's more of a nursing skill.

You nearly caused a riot.

And so, clearly, is hyperbole.

Why can't you drop it? I don't even want to do anything with her

at the weekend. I want to spend it with you.

Yeah, but that's not the point. Then what is the point?

You're keeping something from me. I know you are.

Has it got something to do with these? Give them back.

What are they? Nothing. Painkillers, that's all. Let me have a proper look at them. Let go!

I'm so sorry. Are you OK?

Give me a kiss to make it better.

Stop it! If you're taking something, I need to know about it.

Get off me.

I'm fine. I'm fine.

Stay there.

Are you OK?

There was a girl...

She's fine. All because of a stupid cat.

A cat? Where? He's got out. He's got out.

You're bleeding. I'm calling an ambulance.

Typical. You're the one who manages to get hurt.

Dee!

Helen.

So, what was your plan? Wait until after he'd decked you to phone security? What are you talking about?

The bloke outside Resus. Oh, him. He's full of hot air.

We're supposed to work as a team. I was working as a team. With Rita.

I was trying to help. You were showing off.

Well, I won't do it again.

What was all that about? Nothing. A patient.

You don't fancy going through these feedback questionnaires, Tess? Maybe later.

Don't you want to know what the patients are saying about us?

No, maybe I don't either.

Can you tell me what happened, love?

I think I must have fainted.

And she's hurt her hand.

OK. Can I take the glove off? I'll be really gentle, all right?

We were crossing the road and forgot to look.

Eyes only for each other.

Darius saved me. Pulled me away from the car.

Good to know love isn't completely blind.

What have you done to your eye, sweet?

Back of her head caught me as we fell.

All right, love? You mustn't open the door.

Well, we've got to open the door. He might get out and run away.

He'll be too scared. Are you an experienced owner of cats?

Oh, for goodness' sake, Helen. Just open your door.

Right. I've got an idea. Do you want to nip back to the wagon, grab that bacon roll for me?

We'll coax him out with that and I'll look after Helen. All right with you, Helen? Yes, yes. Thank you.

I had no idea the ambulance service had gone soft. No, nor me.

You had a bang on the head as well? No. I'm just adjusting my hair.

Right. That's it. Open the door then.

Be careful!

OK, Helen, I'm just going to take your pulse, darling.

Here, kitty, kitty, kitty. Has it got a name?

No, not yet. He's a stray. We're taking him to the vet's

to give him his shots. We are not. We are taking him to the cat rescue.

Oh, shush.

Don't mess about, mate. Just waft it under its hooter.

Am I telling you how to do YOUR job? No, cos then you'd get sacked.

Quick, look! It's gone up the road. Get after it!

Oi! Come back here.

Nice scoop, Darius.

You should come and work with us. I'm surrounded by fools.

Anything we should know about? That's my headache pills. That's all.

The first one said, and I quote, "The nurse in the high heels

"set a bad example by smoking out in the front."

So, it's time to give up the fags and get some comfy shoes.

No, it's time for me to get a big badge that says Lead Consultant.

Oh, it's insulting to be thought of as a nurse(!)

Do you want to deal with the patient feedback? I couldn't possibly deprive you of that pleasure.

This is Dee Mordin, 15.

Deep laceration to her hand as a result of falling on broken glass.

She also had a collapse. GCS 15 throughout. Other obs normal.

She's had Entonox for the pain.

Darius here gave himself a shiner pulling her out the way

of two speeding old girls. OK. We'll get that seen to.

It's fine. All that matters is Dee.

You won't be saying that if you can't see out of it tomorrow. And he saved the kitten!

There were also pills at the scene which I didn't think he wanted us to see.

Martin, I'll take the next one. What have you got, Jeff?

This is Helen Barber, 72. Driver of a car involved in a low-speed RTC.

Was wearing a seat-belt. Wasn't KO'd.

Laceration to the side of her head. GCS has been 15 throughout.

I've given her one milligram of PO paracetamol.

She's been sick twice on the way here. OK. Hello, Helen.

Charlie, this is Helen. Can you book her in for a CT head, please?

Cubicles, please, boys.

Right, Helen. Anyone we can contact for you? Yes, my son.

That won't be necessary, thank you. Er, sorry, you are?

I'm Margaret White. Her sister.

The sensible one.

OK. I'm all for sensible, especially when someone's just been through a road accident.

His number's in my phone. Justin. Justin.

Um, I hate to be a pain,

but you know we can't examine you when you've got a cat on your lap?

Are you a trustworthy person?

Maybe. I am going to trust YOU with Jeffrey

during my stay in the hospital.

OK. Jeffrey?

It's about time he had a name.

Cubicle three, please. OK. Be careful with Jeffrey. He bites.

Did it happen suddenly or was there a warning like blurry vision?

Yeah, a bit. Have you had a large meal today? I skipped breakfast.

It's beginning to sound more like a simple faint.

She's always on a diet, even though I tell her she's perfect as she is.

Where did you find this guy? OK. Let's get that glove off to look at that hand now.

I already took it off for the ambulance guys.

I don't want to take it off again. Why not? It's our thing.

We never take them off. Are you two on a mission to make me puke?

It's called romance.

There's nothing romantic about having broken glass in your hand.

Let's get a soft tissue film of the hand

before we give it a thorough clean.

Are you on any medication?

Paramedics said they saw some pills at the scene.

Painkillers. That's all. She had a headache this morning.

Right.

Um, also, let's do a beta hCG.

Hi, Lily. Are you able to take a look at this eye now?

Cubicle three. This way. I'm staying here.

Please, I need to know you're OK.

Come on.

Are you sure you haven't taken anything?

Louise?

Have I told you how lovely your hair's looking at the moment?

What do you want?

I've just invented a game, that's all. It's called, um,

Guess What's In The Box. Now if you guess what's in the box,

you will win...

You haven't thought this through, have you?

No. Come here.

I know it's against regulations, but it belongs to a nice old lady and...

I'll make an exception, but only because I'm such a patient-centred person. Thanks, darling.

Aren't you the cutest little kitten?

Hey, what's in the box?

Nothing.

Cake. Can I have some?

No. It's all for me. I'm taking my break.

Hey, Mac. Louise has got a massive cake in that box

and she's planning to eat it all by herself.

We'll soon put a stop to that.

There's some bony tenderness around the orbit...

So, you got a boyfriend, Robyn?

That's a very personal question.

Follow my finger, please.

You've got really nice eyes.

And yours are inflamed. Have they been causing you discomfort?

It's not a big deal.

Are you this cheeky with your teachers?

I am going to get some facial views of his bruised eye

to exclude any orbital or zygomatic fractures.

There's definitely something wrong with his eyes.

I think they're lovely. Robyn...

A, he's in a school uniform.

B, he's 16. And C...

Is for chill! It's just a bit of banter.

Any idea what these are?

I thought you told Dr Ashford they were painkillers.

I don't want to get Dee in trouble.

Whatever they are, looks like Dee took one.

I could ask at the pharmacy, if you like?

Are you up to date with your tetanus? I don't know.

That's all right. I'll give your mum a ring. Please don't.

She's got a big work deadline. I really don't want to stress her out.

OK. Can I call your GP?

It'd be in confidence.

If you take a pill, but you're supposed to take three,

will it work? Depends what they're for.

Are you talking about the drugs Dr Ashford asked about? I thought that subject was closed?

She brought it up.

Sorry, Dee. I won't ask again.

We have a winner.

"The handsome, dark-haired nurse really made me smile."

Fletch. Tess, who do you think this is? "Dark-haired, handsome nurse."

Got to be Jamie, right?

Absolutely. Helen Barber.

Yeah, the nice old girl with the cat.

Her head needs dressing. Now, please.

Back to the grindstone.

What is it with you two today? Nothing.

Was it him? What? No, of course not.

I think we need to talk.

Dee's hand, I can't see any foreign body here.

Take a look.

Martin, I think Dee was going to tell me what she'd taken,

then her boyfriend walked in. Right. Well, her hCG was positive. She's pregnant.

She's 15. That's illegal.

She isn't the first 15-year-old to turn up here pregnant.

I wonder if they know yet.

SHE knows. The pharmacist definitely reckons they're abortion pills.

Darius obviously doesn't know. What's the number for Social Services?

Let's speak to Dee first.

Yes, but she's a 15-year-old who wants an abortion.

Yep, and she's had already taken one. Will one work?

Not necessarily.

Doesn't Darius have a right to know?

Dee obviously doesn't think so.

What am I supposed to say? He gave me the pills.

He's going to want to know what's in them.

They're her pills. She has a right to confidentiality.

Is that clear?

And what about Social Services?

Take a break, both of you. I'm going to call gynae.

I want to know more about these.

SHE KNOCKS ON THE DOOR

Is it obvious?

No. No. Just to me.

I need you to keep this to yourself, Zoe.

I'm just a bit shocked, Tess. He's a married man with three kids.

I feel guilty enough as it is.

I'm sorry. I'm not judging you, not with my history...

It was more than just a fling, wasn't it?

No wonder you must be finding it so hard being around each other.

It won't affect our work, Zoe. I can assure you of that.

Will it leave a scar?

You won't even know it's happened.

I'll remind her. Oh, yes. She'll make out a list.

She's always doing it so she can remind herself

of the million important things she has to do each day.

I wouldn't have to make such long lists

if YOU bothered to do some of the "to dos".

She never learnt how to relax, has she? Poor dear.

Right, Helen. You've got a visitor. Hi, Mum.

How are you doing?

What on earth happened?

Oh, of course. It must be my fault.

I told you she shouldn't be driving.

If it was up to you, we'd wrap her in cotton wool.

You prefer bandages, do you?

It all started with a...

Are you all right?

Why can't I remember the word?

We were driving. It was in a box.

A cat. A kitten.

Yes. Why can't I say it? Silly, I'm sorry.

Your dreamboat is all intact. No fractures on the facial view.

All normal.

His hands are bothering him.

You can give him the good news. But you're his doctor.

He prefers nurses.

What were you staring at?

Nothing. Your hands... What about them?

Nothing. I'm sorry.

So, what was in those pills?

Um... The results aren't back yet.

Results? The pharmacist wanted to take a closer look

under the microscope. You know, I really don't like being lied to.

I just spoke to the lab.

It was paracetamol.

That's all? Just painkillers?

You OK?

Yeah. Thanks.

Zoe wants to see us in her office.

Right. Lily has been bringing me up to speed

on this underage pregnancy case and she feels strongly

that we should be contacting Social Services.

We've already had this conversation.

Yes, but some of us weren't too happy with the outcome.

Some of us need to grow up.

Rita, you can't talk to me like that.

OK, have we contacted the mother?

Dee doesn't want us to.

Do we have a choice? She is 15.

We don't know what her home situation's like.

I think we should talk to her on her own first.

Let a social worker do that. She'll clam up. Why?

I think she's scared of her boyfriend.

I rest my case. Hang on. Darius is upset.

There's something wrong with his hands. There is something going on with those two.

Our best way of finding out what is to get him away from her.

Martin?

I agree.

OK. We don't call Social Services.

Thank you. For now.

Do you want a biscuit with that? No, thanks.

Two biscuits? They're intended as a peace offering.

No need. So everything's fine, is it?

What can I say? We live in a perfect world.

Right. You cut the cake and I'll put the kettle on.

Right, you are. Hey, Tess. Fancy some cake? There's loads here.

No. Noel...

Are you OK? She needs those pills back.

If you want pain relief then... I want the ones I came in with.

I'll get you those in a minute. Right now, I need to get you

back to your cubicle. My eyes are fine.

We still need to do another test.

Darius, please. You've been rubbing them for weeks. Come on.

What are you doing? We need some privacy.

Dee, did you take an abortion pill this morning? What?

The clinic should have made you take all three under supervision.

I didn't go to the clinic. I got them online.

How many weeks pregnant are you?

I've missed two periods.

Give her some analgesia. I'll chase up the blood results.

Is it happening? We don't know yet,

but whatever happens, we're going to look after you, OK?

Oh, sweetheart.

Didn't she say she was allergic?

No. See, the allergy that makes you allergic to dogs is different

from the ones for cats. Eh?

Never mind.

So, she wants to keep the kitten all to herself!

And she got me all excited about the cake as well.

And me, indirectly.

I think we should teach her a lesson. I think we should.

Cup of tea? And a sweet biscuit?

Helen, your CT scan's come back normal,

so there's no serious injury to your head.

I suppose that's a good thing.

Yes, but they still need to find out what's wrong with you.

We're going to do her blood sugars again,

just to rule out type 2 diabetes.

This won't hurt much.

Helen was complaining no-one had given her anything to eat

this morning. We can get you a sandwich. They do cheese and ham

or chicken and stuffing. Chicken, no stuffing.

He was asking her, not you.

Stuffing gives her indigestion.

Would you please just let her make up her own mind for once in her life?

OK. Well, it's definitely not the blood sugar that's causing these episodes.

So, where does that leave us? Not too sure. I'm just going

to look over these results. I'll be back in a bit.

Have you ever mixed up your words like that before?

No, never. Mum, are you sure?

Of course she's sure. Aren't you, Helen?

Can I just have a quick word? Back in a minute.

Do you think your mum could be lying about mixing up her words?

Surely she wouldn't lie about something like that?

Maybe if she was pressured.

That woman is unbelievable.

I know I should do more.

Maybe she just needs a bit of extra support.

Mum! There's something I want to show you.

Look.

Is that Freddie's new tree house?

Yes. He really wants to show it to you.

In fact, he wants you to move in. We all do.

Your mother can't live in a tree house.

She's not going to live in a tree house.

Look.

Right. You get the kitten out of the box and I'll sort the cake.

Then what? Then kitten up my jumper and into the office.

Mac.

Didn't you put the lid on the box? I thought you did? Me?!

No, no, no.

I'm minding this cat for a sick old lady.

I just wanted to give it some milk. We can do that, can't we? Yeah.

All right. I'll just give it a quick cuddle.

Er, no. No, he's having a bit of a kip,

so probably best not disturb him. OK.

Any chance of a slice of that cake?

Yeah! I'll bring it out to you with a nice cup of tea in a minute.

Off you pop.

Right. I'll do the ED, you do the rest of the hospital. Right.

Hey!

Thank you. Listen, about earlier...

Forget it. We will get through this though, won't we?

Yeah, course we will. Thank you.

OK, gloves off.

I thought you said this had something to do with my eyes.

I never take these off.

What are you hiding? Nothing.

Then you won't mind if I take a look.

I know you're in love with Dee. But you don't need to prove it

by wearing a pair of gloves all day long.

How long have these been like this?

Sorry. Are you all right?

I'm trying to find my way out of here. I need some air.

OK. Right this way.

Can you take a look at his hands?

Look. They've been like this for a year.

Show me your elbow.

Squeeze my finger.

As hard as you can.

OK. You've lost some strength in your grip, haven't you?

Are your joints stiff first thing in the morning?

I want to do a Schirmer's test on his eyes. What's that?

I'll be placing a small piece of blotting paper... To hell with this. I need to be with Dee.

No. Wait! She's busy.

What's going on?

Are you pregnant?

I don't know.

Just tell me.

Are you sure?

That tiny flutter is the foetal heartbeat.

We're going to have a baby?!

Is everything OK? I mean, the accident, it didn't...

Tell me everything's all right. Everything's fine.

Robyn, can you please take Darius back to his cubicle? I'm not leaving her again.

I'm afraid you're going to have to.

We need to run further tests and she needs privacy.

You going to be OK?

Please. You have to help me.

I can't believe he asked me to move in with him just like that.

Well, he might have already run it past his wife.

I doubt it. He's on the phone to her about it now.

I'm her mother-in-law for goodness' sake.

Under her feet 24 hours a day...

She's got a young family to think of.

And you've got a sister to think of. What do you mean?

Well, just that you're very close, that's all.

Oh, yes. Always were.

I owe her a lot.

Do you owe her your health?

The chance to get better?

Maybe it was nothing.

What was nothing?

Buying pills online is a dangerous game.

Why didn't you go to a clinic? He'd have known.

What do you mean? I knew he'd want the baby.

Surely he understands you don't want a child at 15?

Dee, having an abortion isn't something you go through on your own.

I'm not on my own. I've...

I've got....

I think we need to speak to your mum.

I'll do it.

I must have lost it during the accident.

Can you call her?

What's going on, Dee?

He's got my phone. Why?

He doesn't want other boys hassling me.

He's just really protective.

There you are. Thanks.

Don't tell my sister.

No, don't worry.

Why don't you sit down?

I really would like to take a look at that bump on your head.

Have the two of you lived together for a long time?

It's all she knows.

Well, she knows her son as well. Justin's busy with his own life.

He hasn't got the sort of time she needs.

Why, what sort of time does she need exactly?

It's different for me. I've nothing else to do. I can adjust.

Adjust to what?

Margaret, if you're hiding something, now's the time to tell us.

I don't want to lose her.

Well, you can still visit her at Justin's, surely?

I'm sure they'll let you into the tree house once you know the password.

What if she doesn't even know the tree house exists?

What if she doesn't recognise me or Justin or her grandson?

OK. So you think she's getting senile?

Yes, of course. Isn't it obvious?

What makes you say that?

Because it has happened before.

Right.

Last week, we were playing Scrabble

and she suddenly couldn't find words.

She kept muddling them up, mispronouncing them.

Well, that doesn't sound like dementia.

No?

No, it doesn't come and go like that.

It's not episodic.

Once it starts, it just gets worse.

Your eyes only absorbed about a third of what I'd expect.

I think you may have an eye disease called Sjogren's syndrome.

Sounds like a Swedish footballer. That and your other symptoms indicate to me

you have rheumatoid arthritis.

Arthritis? Me? Relax. Everything's in working order.

I'm going to be a dad soon.

This is not something we're making up, Darius.

I considered chlamydia, but your symptoms are very specific to rheumatoid...

So what do you reckon? Be pretty cool to have a kid, yeah? Don't you think you're a bit young?

It's what she needs. A project in life.

Is that what she wants at 15?

She's having the first-born of Darius Wilks.

Every girl in school wants that.

And how are you going to provide for your family?

Not my problem. Her mum's minted.

That's her folks before her father split.

When did you take that?

It's hers.

I look after it for her.

She'd lose it otherwise. You really are Prince Charming, aren't you?

I guess you'll never know what it's like to have a boyfriend. Don't take it out on her. Deal with it.

Am I going to be in a wheelchair?

We need to confirm that it is actually rheumatoid arthritis,

which requires... Just answer the question.

You've had a muddled episode before? Mum, is this true?

Margaret's just been telling me about that.

She was afraid your mum was suffering dementia.

But I don't think that's it. Fletch?

No, me neither. Quick screen?

Helen, how old are you, my love?

I'm 72.

What's your date of birth, Helen?

May the 9th, 1941.

And when did the Second World War end?

When I was four.

Look, if it isn't dementia, then what is it?

Ooh.

I didn't mean to do that. I'm sorry. It's all right, are you all right?

All right, Fletch. I'll get Dr Hannah.

Dee. Thank goodness you're OK.

Aw, your poor hand. Mum...

You know it's crazy to go without breakfast.

No wonder you fainted...

Mum, I'm pregnant.

Will you help me have an abortion? A proper one.

She bought abortion pills online. She took one this morning.

That was a...? But you said it was a painkiller?

You wanted to stay at home...

and I rushed you out the door.

Oh, Dee, I'm so sorry.

You're not angry?

Why didn't you tell me?

Where's Darius?

Can we speak to you privately?

I think you've been having TIAs - transient ischemic attacks.

Transient? As in temporary?

Well, no, they're like mini-strokes and they serve as a warning that

a full-blown stroke is on its way.

But shouldn't the scan have shown that up?

TIAs don't show up in CT scans.

But because your mum has had one less than a week ago,

we call them "crescendo TIAs",

and that would suggest that she's at greater risk of having a stroke.

But you can do something, can't you?

Yes. I am going to contact the neurologist straight away

but had we left it any longer...

Is he still in the loo crying like a baby?

Thanks for sticking up for me. I shouldn't have had to.

We can't all be beautiful. It's different for girls like you.

Don't give me that.

If you're going to fall for someone else,

make sure it's someone worthy of you.

If I was gay, I would so snog you right now.

Even in your fantasies, you lack professionalism.

He asked me not to call anyone

but I called his parents and there was no answer.

Maybe there's a story there.

I'll go and get him back. He can't spend all day in the loo.

Are you aware he has her phone?

She told me she lost it.

He also has her laptop.

Why didn't you phone me sooner? She didn't want us to.

And you listened to her?

She's just a child.

Another option would have been to call Social Services.

You did the right thing. Thank you.

I knew they were seeing a lot of each other,

but I was so busy with work...

..and I just thought, "Young love - wonderful."

It was so nice to think someone was taking care of her.

It's...it's been hard since her father left.

She needs you now more than ever.

Hello, my beautiful.

Are you OK? Yeah, but we need to get out of here.

I can't. My mother's here and...

They just told me. I could be in a wheelchair one day.

It's in my eyes too.

I'm sure they can help you.

If I've been horrible, I'm sorry.

I'm scared.

Come here.

If you don't love me any more, I'll understand.

I'll always love you.

Then come with me.

Please.

I need you.

Helen, I've spoken to the neurologist

and he'll see you as soon as possible.

I also spoke to vascular studies and they are going to check

the arteries in your neck.

I'll leave you in Charlie's capable hands for now, OK?

Give me a shout if you need me. Yes, I will.

Right, this is aspirin. That'll help thin your blood.

And it's important that you take it every day.

I'll make sure she does.

No, you won't. I will.

She's coming to live with us.

She could have had a stroke because of you.

She could have died because of you.

I didn't know she was having mini-strokes.

Yes, but you did know about that other episode playing Scrabble.

And you chose to deliberately withhold highly relevant medical information.

Only because I was afraid of losing her. Yes, well, you have.

And you are.

Congratulations.

Justin, I... No, Mum, no arguments.

Look, I've spoken to Debbie and she's thrilled that you're coming.

Really.

Where is she?

Call security. We'll find her.

Where are we going? That's my mum's car.

What are you doing with her keys?

They don't want us to be together. They don't think I'm good enough for you.

We can talk to them. We can make them understand.

Just get into the car! Where're you going?

Leave us alone. You've got nowhere to go.

We're going to have a baby together and we're going to be a family.

Are you?

Tell him.

I don't want the baby.

I want to have an abortion.

Get in the car!

SHE SIGHS

Ash, Darius, we need to call the police.

Margaret, I can't believe this is all about a cat.

I just don't want her to be left on her own. She worries.

About what? Everything. Every little thing.

What? Oh, no. Where's he gone this time?

Here, puss, puss, puss.

All right, don't worry, he'll be here somewhere.

Puss, puss, puss.

Here we go. Where's everyone gone?

Justin's phoning his office.

He's so busy, he's under a lot of pressure.

Well, he'll be really pleased to have you around

so you can help out with your grandson, won't he?

You seem to be bringing me tea all day.

What's the matter?

I know she's bossy...

..but she gets me up in the morning,

she makes me help her with the shopping, the cleaning.

She keeps me going all day.

Sounds a bit exhausting.

No-one knows her like I do.

Never for a moment makes me feel old.

What would it be like if you lived with Justin then?

I don't know.

I just don't want to cause any fuss.

Yeah, but you're not the one causing the fuss, are you?

I hope not.

Justin's got his own family

and, as lovely as they are, I just don't want to sit there

and be part of the furniture.

So what do you want?

Puss, puss, puss, puss.

Can I say, I don't think it's a good idea for you to project

your own fears on to your sister.

My fears? What am I afraid of?

Being alone, I think.

Puss, puss. Where are you?

Where are you?

Owww. Owwww.

Whoa, whoa. I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

All right, don't worry. Nice and easy, watch yourself. I'm silly.

Let's get you sat down, there's a chair right behind you.

That's it, OK. Let's take a look at this.

I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Don't worry, accidents happen,

otherwise I'd be out of a job.

Yes, that's the bump you got in the car accident. Oh.

What's happened is you've disturbed a clot that had already formed.

CAR REVS

You've got to stop, your arm is bleeding.

See, the glove's still on, Dee. That's how much I love you.

I don't want to die.

But it's all right for you to kill our baby?! I'm too young.

Why? What else are you going to do with your life?

I don't know. Go to college.

If you go to college, what happens to me? You could come, too.

College is no place for someone like me.

Full of snobs and rich kids.

Is that what I am? A rich kid?

Darius, please. You're going to kill us!

Well, I'd rather that than lose you.

Slow down, Darius, please!

CAR SKIDS HORN BEEPS

Will you slow down, please?

MOBILE PHONE RINGS

Give it back! It's mine.

HORNS BEEP

Slow down, Darius.

He won't slow down.

'Put me on speaker phone. I need to talk to him.

'Darius, it's Robyn. You need to stop the car.'

Don't worry, Robyn, I plan to.

CAR SKIDS

It's good news. Your results came back from the lab

and your arthritis is only a mild form.

I don't care about that.

Maybe, but I know you care about Dee.

Yeah, well she doesn't care about me, does she?

Of course she does, she's scared.

You need to let her go. I'm nothing without her. Nothing.

Darius, slow down!

You're not nothing.

You're Darius Wilks, the coolest guy in school, right?

No, I'm not.

You know I'm not.

You can't let this disease beat you. And you can't let it destroy you

and you can't let it destroy Dee.

Darius.

TYRES SCREECH

Darius.

Darius!

Get out of the car, Dee.

Get out of the car!

'Dee, are you OK?'

HORNS BLARE

'Dee, what's happening? Are you OK?'

DARIUS SCREAMS IN PAIN

'What's going on? Let me know what's going on.' Dee!

Dee!

Yeah, I'm OK, but he's bleeding! Help him!

OK, where are you? We'll send an ambulance.

What happened to you?

I'm all right, I'll tell you later.

But... Don't worry, I'm all right.

Go and live with Justin.

I can manage.

I can visit.

We can sit on the bench together

and watch Freddie playing in his tree house.

Well, of course, you'll always be very welcome.

Sorry to butt in, do I get any say in this?

I want to stay with Margaret.

Now hang on, Mum...

You think you know what's best for me.

I don't think you know me at all. I hardly ever see you.

Well, I know you need to be minded and cared for.

I don't need to be minded.

I need to be supported, that's all.

There's a difference. But I'm a nag...

and a list-writer and I'm a bully, aren't I?

You think I'm so feeble, I'd allow myself to be bullied?

Forgive me.

I want to thank you for the offer because it was very, very kind.

But, surely, don't you want a bit of peace and quiet,

a chance to relax?

I'll have plenty of that when I'm dead.

In the meantime, I would like to enjoy my life a little.

But there's only one condition,

I want Jeffrey to come and live with us.

He pulled out a large piece of glass on the right side.

We think its arterial, he's lost about 800ml of blood.

We've applied pressure, but we can't stop the bleed.

Right, can we get him over, please, ladies and gents?

Nice and gently, as quick as you like.

On three - one, two, three and over one, two, three.

He's had entonox, saline, ten of morphine... Dee...

Come on.

His tachy at 115 and his BP is 128 over 82.

Thanks, Dixie. Cheers, Tash.

OK, can we keep the pressure on, please?

I'll do it.

Can we get some Celux on stand-by?

And get another line in.

OK, let's take a look.

It's probably the brachial artery bleeding out.

Let's get vascular down here as soon as possible, please.

You're going to have to tell her, all right?

Oh, no way, mate. It was your idea.

What?! Tell me what?

Look, Louise, we've... He lost the kitten. Huh?

That kitten belonged to two old ladies

who were in a car crash this morning.

Are they OK?

Well, they won't be when I tell them what's happened to their kitten.

Oh, Louise...

KITTEN MIAOWS

You had it all along!

Did you really think you could get one over on me?

We haven't got time to wait.

He's dropping his pressure. Systolic's 90.

I'm going to try to stitch it.

Are you crazy? We need a vascular surgeon.

He's got to go straight into theatre. There's no time.

OK, remove the gauze.

Systolic's 77.

This could have been avoided if you'd called Social Services when I said.

Do you really want to go there now?

It's holding.

Nice one.

OK.

Let's get him to theatre.

You know, Justin, I think

it's your mother who has been doing the bossing around all these years!

Thought you might like a visitor. Oh!

Where have you been, where did you go?

Well, the main thing is he came back. Exactly.

Yeah, exactly so goodbye, Holby.

Holby? Good name.

Holby Kitty.

You all set?

Yeah. I've given my statement to the police

and I've got an appointment with a clinic. Good girl.

Mum's coming with me. Yeah, I'm going to take some time off work.

You've got a brave daughter there, Jenny.

I know.

Mum, can we go for something to eat now?

Yes, of course we can. Thank you for everything.

Pleasure.

How is she?

Yeah, I think she's going to be all right.

How's Darius?

I contacted his nan - she's going to come

and collect him and when he gets out of surgery, I'm going to talk

him into getting some help.

You all right, Tess?

There you are, two happy old ladies. What more do you want?

Thank you very much!

Hey, listen to this one, right?

"My teenage son was rushed to your hospital with a broken collar bone.

"He was in a lot of pain and very scared.

"He suffers from a stammer

"and is not very comfortable with new people.

"However, by the time I arrived,

"the team of strangers in blue had taken such care of him that he

"was laughing and joking like part of the family and in a lot less pain.

"I would like to shake the hands of all the doctors

"and nurses who helped my son feel safe that day.

"Thank you, NHS."

I think I treated him.

No, it was definitely me.

No, no. I don't think so.

Actually, I wrote this one!

Oh, Charlie. LAUGHING

Right, everyone back to work, we've got patients to see.

Not even a cup of tea and a biscuit?

I want a cupcake.
