The Fear Casualty

Look at the state of you!

Three-zero-zero-six to control. I've found my crew mate.

There is no wife.

There's no Emma?

She fell about ten metres from a roof

and was caught by my good self.

Hero of the hour.

I'm going to go.

I could take her for a couple of days a week.

You'd do that?

Why all the secrecy?

Because of Grace.

She's going to find out sooner or later.

He didn't do anything. He didn't touch me.

That's pathetic!

-Iain.

-You're insane!

Morning.

Morning!

Where is everyone?

No spinning. No spinning.

What's that doing in here?

It needed a home while they paint paediatric.

Yes, it's good for morale. Apparently Google has one.

Ethan...

look around.

Does this look like Google to you?

Well, no.

It might not be perfect, but it's home.

Well, home just sprung a leak.

Yes, we have a pregnant lady with hyperemesis in eight.

Max, there's a patient in five needs taking up to Keller.

And Jacob, I need you to restock the linen cupboard.

OK, one second.

THEY TALK OVER EACH OTHER

Now!

Yeah, I'm going to do it now, because...

well, you know, now seems like as good a time as any

to do a job that...

What's got into her?

I don't know. Shame?

Oh, Dixy.

What time do you call this?

I know. I know. I'm sorry.

But haven't you heard?

There's only a new hero in Holby!

Yes!

Don't suppose I got a mention?

Kieran Dean?!

Brilliant. Just brilliant!

So, you know that, er...

Rita's back?

She's got some nerve showing her face around here.

You got time to take on the local hero?

Oh, we're done discussing your punctuality, are we?

Right, if you win, you get to give me the boring lecture, but if I win,

I get to drive the ambulance.

Deal?

Driving. Big responsibility.

That sounds like an excuse to me, old man!

Come on. Let's play!

You don't impress me, you know.

I've been catching babies for years.

Now I just look after one.

Oh-aah!

Coming in?

-SHE LAUGHS

-I am enjoying myself too much.

-You're beautiful.

-Aww.

And you are an idiot!

THEY CHUCKLE

Oh, no.

Tom!

So this is what you get up to?

-You followed us?!

-No, no.

I typed "woman making a fool of herself" into the sat nav.

-Got here in no time.

-You're the one making a fool of yourself, man!

Haven't you got some homework to be doing, man?

Your dad jokes are really cutting edge. You should try writing them down.

What's this about?

Go home. You're drunk.

What, we talk through lawyers now?

20 years, you can't even pick up the phone?

You heard her. Go home!

-Oh!

-GLASS SMASHES

-I'm sorry.

-You always do this!

It... It was an accident.

Ugh!

What you doing?

He was trying to be nice.

I know. I...

I'm sorry. It's just...

Glen. We know.

I mean, what kind of a person does that to another human being?

Those kind of people.

Normal on the outside,

but underneath, they're just whackos and bunny boilers.

I mean, who lies about something like that? It's sick.

She's still our boss.

Yeah, exactly! There is no justice in this world!

Oh... Robyn!

Wrong side of bed?

Man trouble.

David!

-If you've got her pregnant, then...

-No!

What? No! Me? No!

Oh.

DAVID LAUGHS

I don't understand.

I was led to believe my contract would be renewed automatically.

Yes, and we're looking to see if the budget will stretch

-to a permanent position, but at the moment...

-I've given up a lot to be here.

Henrik and I are really keen for you to stay, OK?

I will know more after the meeting.

-Yeah, but what do you think my chances are?

-Iain!

Oh, did you get my messages?

-I just wanted to talk before...

-You stay away from me, all right?

I'll, erm...

know more this afternoon.

KNOCKING

Martha! I'm not going anywhere till we talk! Martha!

-I'm calling security.

-Don't. He'll get bored, like usual.

-This is OUR weekend.

-Martha!

-KNOCKING

-It can't carry on like this.

-No, don't!

-She doesn't want to speak to you.

-Out of my way.

I'm calling security!

-There's no law against talking to my wife.

-You've been separated for months!

-It's not over!

Tell him, Martha.

You know it's not.

Move on, Tom!

Can't you see? Everyone else has.

Give me that phone.

Give me the phone! It's mine.

MARTHA SCREAMS

MARTHA SCREAMS

Oh, no! Oh, no!

Rita, are you all right?

Don't know. Do you think I'm all right?

I think you're all right. Look how brave he's being.

Oof! How many stitches?

Ten!

-Wow!

-Now, when I was a girl, I came off my bike,

and I had ten stitches all the way across there.

Can't see anything now, though.

Don't worry. You're practically bionic.

Come on, then.

Let us not see you again, sir!

ELLE SIGHS

You can be on my team any time.

Oh, thank you.

Do you have kids?

No.

Shame. You're really good with them.

-Never really worked out.

-Hmm.

You're young. There's time.

-Got to find the right man first.

-Ah-ha!

Yeah. I don't know what you've heard, but, erm...

Hey, absolutely none of my business.

As long as you think you're up to being back at work.

I was climbing the walls at home.

Boy, do I know that one!

Erm...do you fancy a cup of tea?

That would be lovely.

Nellie! Breakfast!

Morning.

Oh, what, no cuddle?

You too big for that?

How are you?

You see me complaining?

My hero.

Mum and me saw this amazing wedding dress.

Shh, you! It's a secret!

So excited.

Been telling all my friends about being chief bridesmaid.

They're all dead jealous.

Well, if you two are happy, I'm happy.

It's a day we're all going to remember for a very long time.

Come on, you! Eat up!

Big night tonight. Nervous?

Well, yeah, I'm a single man that lives on a boat with his dog.

I don't think "nervous" comes close.

Yeah, I think you're going to need some help from the master.

Is that you? No, no, no, no. I said I was nervous, not stupid!

Well, she's put in an appearance.

Yeah, she's clearly loving every minute.

I'm in a meeting with the Trust all day, so if there's a problem,

-just give me a call.

-Mm-hmm.

Mmm?

So, I was thinking, er...

Do you want to come over tonight?

There's some Latin caff opened, so I thought we could give it a try.

Or you could come to mine and salsa to your heart's content.

Grace is at summer camp all week.

-All right!

-THEY CHUCKLE

Mmm...let's see what you've got.

-SHE CHUCKLES

-Huh?

RINGING TONE ON COMPUTER

-Oh.

-HE SIGHS

-I see summer camp hasn't changed her impeccable timing.

-(Sorry.)

We need to tell her.

What, and spoil the fun?

No, I'm sorry. I will. I will, I will tell her.

Mmm...

MUSIC ON RADIO

# Let me in, let me in

# I've got a heart of gold. #

Hey!

No, no, no!

Driver chooses the music. You made the rules!

Yeah, and you wonder why I've never let YOU drive before.

You never let me - I beat you!

Four J-shots! Didn't even touch the sides.

Mmm!

That's a lot of firefighters for no fire.

What the...?

HEAVY BREATHING

When they said "impaled," I thought...

Find out how long it's going to take to separate them.

Hello, there.

Do you want to tell me what's happened?

He attacked me.

-Wouldn't have happened...

-Tom! You started this!

Whoa. Time out, OK?

I just need to know how they ended up like this.

They were fighting. They fell from there.

OK.

Well, your pulse is fine.

-How are YOU doing?

-Hurts like you wouldn't believe.

Well, that's what I'm here for.

Jez! Oxygen, please.

This is where you say it looks worse than it is.

Yeah...

this looks much worse than what it is.

They can't get a saw in between them,

so they reckon that we'll have to take them in together.

IAIN SIGHS

All right, in you come, lads.

Don't worry, Mum.

I've got it all covered.

-Yeah. No, we'll do the grub.

-Mum! NELL GASPS FOR BREATH

Deposit's paid on the pub.

-Jason's going to put some money behind the bar.

-What's happening?

Mum!

She's more excited than we are.

-Mum!

-I'm so glad we waited till she was old enough.

SHE PANTS

Yeah, well... Yeah, OK.

-SCREAMS:

-No!

Elle, I've cleared Resus.

I've activated the code red protocol, er...

O-neg's on standby, and they've been transferred to a bariatric bed.

Great. Noel, give theatre a heads-up.

Dr Hardy, Rita, you're with me.

Whoa, whoa, whoa! Slowly, really...slowly.

Right, this is Krish Kapadia and Tom Cheney.

They've both fallen 11 feet,

impaling themselves on an iron fence.

Krish's sats are 93%, but all other obs are unremarkable.

Tom's obs are fine.

We've given them 15mg of morphine each and started saline IV.

Both stable?

-Yeah.

-OK, straight through to Resus.

VERY slowly.

Don't they know it's rude to stare?

This is Martha. She's 53. She cut her hand on some broken glass.

-MARTHA:

-It's nothing.

-Are you, erm...

-TOM:

-My wife.

-She's my wife.

-KRISH:

-Ex-wife.

-RITA:

-Robyn, can you take Martha through to cubicles,

and we'll let you know as soon as their condition changes.

Right, this is an example of the pole that's inside them, OK?

Oh, a present. You shouldn't have!

-There's one of those inside them, is there?

-Yeah.

-Right.

-ELLE:

-OK, let's get some bloods off, cross-match six units to start with,

and let's get some gases.

It's difficult to know the exact trajectory through his body,

but we could be looking at a pneumothorax.

Look, somebody get me off this.

Blondie. Can I call you Blondie?

Not even in jest.

-DYLAN:

-Any head or neck pain?

No, but everywhere else.

-Right, good man.

-ETHAN:

-OK, oxygen levels are dropping.

OK, let's get more IV access and a chest X-ray for both,

1g tranexamic acid, IV,

tetanus, immunoglobulin and IV augmentin 1.2g.

We'll give them both two units of O-neg, see how they respond,

and let's set up a chest drain for Mr Cheney.

-That's paramedic gear.

-Yeah, all right!

Iain, she was just trying to...

Not in my Resus, and certainly not today.

Iain...

Iain!

Jez, turn the ambo around. I'll only be a minute.

This is why I wanted to clear the air before I came back.

Think it's that easy?

I just wanted to say I'm sorry.

You're not, though, are you?

Or else you wouldn't have come back here to rub my nose in it.

Well, at least everybody here knows how crazy you really are.

You want to do the decent thing?

Leave.

Don't, Charlie, cos I don't need your sympathy.

-I was going to say we need you back in Resus.

-'Doors closing.'

LIFT DOORS CLOSE

You messed up.

You won't be the last.

I have thought about leaving, but...

..you know, my friends are here.

You're here.

You're not going anywhere. I won't let you.

But the way he looked at me.

That hate...

there is no coming back from that.

You leave him to me.

Don't. He's angry enough as it is.

SHE SIGHS

It might take time, but both him and his ego will get over it.

In the meantime, you stick to doing what you're good at.

Do YOU think I'm crazy?

A little bit, yes.

But then all the best people are.

SHE CHUCKLES

ROBYN: OK, This might sting a little bit.

This is so typical of Tom.

He always... Ow!

He always goes too far.

We're going to have to send you for an X-ray, just to make sure

there's no more glass in there.

That's why he dragged his heels on our divorce.

He can't believe I'm happy without him.

Well, if this new guy makes you feel like that...

He does.

My friends think I'm crazy, but...

..I feel alive again.

-He's one of the good guys.

-Oh!

Well, keep hold of him,

cos there sure aren't many of them in the world.

-TOM PANTS

-Can't breathe.

Please stop doing that, Tom. We got to work together, man.

Get me off this thing.

I'm afraid that's not going to help.

Tom, I know you're scared, but it's really important you stay calm.

You need to stay perfectly still.

The more you move, the worse it gets,

and the harder it is for us to work, OK?

-ELLE:

-OK, guys.

He cannot move an inch. Understood?

Carry on like that, and I might even let you call me Blondie.

Just once, though.

Chest drain.

Are you OK?

Fine.

Keep looking at me, Tom.

There are worse things to look at.

OK, Tom. Cough for me.

TOM COUGHS

-And we're there.

-Well done.

Let theatre know.

We'll stabilise them both, and they can be sent up to be separated.

All right, now, just take nice, deep breaths for me, OK?

So, she's never had anything like this before?

No.

-Feeling better now?

-It still hurts where I fell.

Where's Dad? He'll know what's wrong.

My partner...

he's got this disease. I don't know if it's important or not.

OK. OK, do you want to give him a call?

Doctors might need to talk to him.

You're such a lucky girl!

Most kids would kill to get a ride in the ambulance!

Whoa! Jez!

-RAPID BLEEPING

-It's like before. I can't breathe!

All right. Just take nice, deep breaths.

RAPID BLEEPING CONTINUES

Right, Jez, keep your eyes on the road, mate.

The sooner the better.

Your wish is my command.

SIREN WAILS

ENGINE SLOWS

Jez?

Oh, no way.

Right, I'll be back in just one second, OK?

You can't leave us!

What are you doing?

I forgot to fill her up. We're out of diesel.

Ohh!

Right, I'll call it in.

No, no, no, no, no! I... I'll think of something!

-Trust me!

-We haven't got time for that!

-I'm calling the rapid response!

-I'll sort it out!

You've got two minutes!

We're stabilising them before we take them up to theatre.

You really need to keep them calm.

They're still together?!

Why haven't you taken that thing out of them?

Well, we move it or them without knowing what damage there is,

and we could make things worse.

OK. I can't see any free fluid in your abdomen.

KRISH: That's a good thing, yeah?

It is, yes.

Let's insert a catheter now, just to be on the safe side.

There's a sight for sore eyes.

Martha!

-RITA:

-Tom, you need to let go.

Just hear me out.

I came to say I'm sorry.

I've changed.

KRISH SIGHS

I want to start again.

Forget lawyers.

It's just about me and you.

You don't give up.

Even after everything you've put her through.

Please, Tom.

Let me go.

Are you kidding?

I'm never letting go again.

-I thought they said they'd be here in two minutes.

-Mmm.

This is either genius or madness.

What the hell is "winding time"?

You really are worried.

Remember, I'm free tonight.

I don't do nappies or sick, but I'm good.

I'm £8 an hour.

You're going to charge me?

Erm...Lily?

-APPROACHING VOICE:

-One last stretch, come on.

Dr Keogh, we may require your help.

Couldn't make this up, could you?

All the steam engines taken, were they?

Brilliant. Cheers, boys!

What's going on, Iain?

Some idiot forgot to fill the tank up.

Bit oafish, isn't it?

Yes.

Right, This is Nell Sullivan. She's nine years old.

She's fallen down some steps at 10:15 due to shortness of breath.

Tachycardic, fluctuating, with a heart rate between 110 and 220.

Yes, 220.

I cleared her neck at the scene.

She won't let me put a cannula in.

Let's get her through to HDC, please.

Hi, my name's Robyn, OK? There's nothing to worry about.

That's what HE said.

You, wipe that smile off your face. Robyn, can you get the bed, please?

Get this sorted.

-ETHAN:

-We're going to need six more units of the O-neg,

and some Hartmann's solution, as well, please.

You're still wearing your wedding ring.

Tells me all I need to know.

Ethan...

OK.

-Shall I go and get Dr Gardner?

-Yes, please.

-GRACE:

-She told me she was at work.

She is. Kind of.

-But...not really.

-Grace!

I thought you were at camp.

Where's Mum?

Well, she's in a meeting until later,

but if it's urgent, I can page her.

Or...

we do have some table football in the staffroom.

And I'm about to go on my break.

You don't stand a chance.

All right. Fighting talk!

Nell!

I've been worried sick.

How is she?

She's all right now. But I was so scared.

It's all right. Daddy's here.

Hi, I'm Dr Chao.

I told them about you.

I've got MEN2A. Multiple...

Multiple endocrine neoplasia. That's very rare.

-How long have you...

-All my life.

My dad gave it to me. His dad gave it to him.

Years of stomach problems, sweats, being out of breath...

Is that what Nell's got?

It's a possibility.

He got cancer cos they didn't catch it soon enough.

-If it is that, we need to know.

-They've got my notes.

I've been seeing them about this.

You need to check them against hers.

Of course.

Her ECG results show nothing out of the ordinary.

Well, that's what it's like - it comes and goes.

We'll keep her under observation.

It's going to be all right now. Daddy's here.

He knows what to do.

-ELLE:

-Blood in his urine?

Well, would you like me to phone Mrs Beauchamp, so you can get a second opinion?

Listen, if you speak to her, can you let her know that Grace is climbing the walls in the staffroom?

I am perfectly capable of dealing with this by myself.

Thank you very much!

Big day.

She's finding out if she gets a permanent position.

Well, why am I always the last person to find out these things?

IAIN: Right, you.

There's some paperwork needs doing.

So I'm going to take Dom off the RRV,

and put him into the ambo with me for the day.

Mate, I'm only human. We all make mistakes!

Yeah, and I've got to report that mistake!

Would you two at least have a stab

at some kind of professionalism before this day is over?

Yeah. Sorry, Charlie. You can't get the staff.

Well, from where I'm standing,

you're the one that's causing all the trouble.

This is a job for adults.

Start acting like one.

If it's any consolation, it's me he wants to shout at.

No, trust me - that one was all me.

Now I know how you feel.

I've put him through a lot, so... we need to cut him some slack.

I promise you, it's just a little scratch.

Anything exciting happening at school?

I'm going to be chief bridesmaid. Mum and Dad are getting married.

Wow!

Finally getting round to it.

Well, you're braver than most of the adults I know.

Most of them are chickens.

This isn't your fault.

It's like history repeating itself.

The needles, the tests, in and out of hospital...

It won't be the same. She's got you to help her through.

Look, we don't even know that it's that yet, so let's just wait and see, eh?

I don't need tests to tell me what I already know.

-ELLE:

-Frank haematuria.

-RITA:

-It means possible kidney problems.

OK, Let's get the rapid infuser on standby.

We cannot move them while he's this unstable.

Krish?

We're going to get through this.

Do you hear me?

We've got plans. They don't stop here.

Plans?

-What do you mean?

-Tell him.

Tell him.

Krish has got a job in the States.

We're going in a few weeks.

What about us?

Don't get worked up, Tom.

I've been trying to tell you for months.

There is no more "us," Tom.

It's time for you to move on, too.

No.

You're still wearing your wedding ring.

It's an engagement ring.

I'm going to marry Krish.

That's enough!

(I'm so sorry.)

TOM SNIFFS

Lily, they sent down Jason's old notes, and he's not lying -

it's going to take a month to go through that.

It's happening again! She can't breathe!

It's OK, Nell. Deep breaths.

This is exactly what I was like.

-Yeah, pulse is 220.

-Please let me examine her.

She needs beta blockers. She needs these.

No - this looks to me like paroxysmal SVT.

-Is that different to what Jason's got?

-Completely different.

-It's an electrical problem in the heart, but don't worry - we can treat this.

-No!

-I had the same symptoms!

-This is good news. We can treat her condition.

This is exactly what happened!

This is exactly what happened to me.

They poked and prodded me, stuck needles in me for months.

There's no evidence as yet to suggest that she has MEN2A.

If you're worried about the possibility

of her developing your condition, we can send her blood results

to your specialist for further investigation.

What will that tell us?

They will be able to look at her hormone levels,

and maybe compare genetic markers in Jason and Nell.

As long as you're sure.

I need to stimulate the vagal nerve in Nell's neck.

You have to trust me.

We do.

Let's get an empty syringe and a bowl of ice water.

(Hurry up, before they change their minds.)

OK, for Krish, we need four more units of blood,

four FPP, and four of platelets.

Is this it?

Of course not!

The guy's getting worse. Get him off this thing. Get him up to theatre.

He's too unstable for us to move.

Blondie...

What's your name?

Rita.

Rita...

..you need to tell me straight.

What are our chances?

Your injuries are very serious,

and we are doing our best to get you through this.

MACHINE BLEEPS

OK, BP's still falling.

-ELLE:

-OK, we need to intubate him fibre-optically.

Page the anaesthetist.

Krish...

We're going to sedate you, OK?

There's so much I want to say.

-MARTHA:

-I'm going to be right here when you wake up.

I promise you.

He's a fighter.

Trust me.

Takes one to know one.

The way you look at him.

You used to look at me like that.

I'd give the world for you to look at me like that again.

Ssh!

It's true.

Hey! We'll be in there in a sec.

Just preparing the procedure.

Thank you for your help.

Oh, it's OK.

It's good news about Nell, though.

Must be difficult for your partner, living with that.

Was there anything else?

These blood results - the ones the doctor's sending to the specialist.

What sort of thing will it show?

I don't really know the details, I'm sorry,

but I can send the doctor in to speak to you both if you like.

No. Don't worry.

Just wanted to know what it might tell us.

Doesn't matter.

Oh, I think it's best if you wait outside.

No.

She stays right here with me.

-He's still deteriorating.

-I know.

We need to separate them down here

if Krish is to stand any chance of making it.

-That's a big risk.

-Do you think I don't know that?

OK, I'll let theatre know.

Look, just take a deep breath, and place your face in the water.

Please! I don't want to.

Can't you give her some pills or something?

The water stimulates the vagal nerve in the neck,

and hopefully this will correct the electrical aberration in the heart.

Essentially the cold water gives your system a really good shock.

-It's amazing when it works.

-My dad doesn't think it will.

He's not your doctor, OK. Just place your face in the water, please.

Dad...

Do you need some help, Dr Chao?

We're fine, thank you, Sister Freeman.

Hey, you.

How are you doing?

She's just a kid. You can't expect her to do this.

I'm scared.

Of this?

You're scared of this!? No way.

This water?

Absolutely nothing to be scared about.

Your turn.

Good girl.

Good girl.

What are you doing?

My job, if you let me.

You may think hysteria is helping your daughter, but it's not.

Enough! Stay away from our daughter!

YOU shouldn't be anywhere near children!

We really need to calm down.

Guys, her pulse is still 220.

You paged me?

Yes, I'd really like a second opinion.

His BP has dropped, resps up despite the morphine.

-Tom?

-Yeah.

I want to sedate him, move him,

cut the damn pole, then get Krish up to theatre.

Erm...

-It's your call.

-You mean it's on my head? Do you have a better idea?

-Please.

-No.

I think that's as good an idea as we're going to get.

You said moving them was dangerous.

But Krish is deteriorating. This is his best chance.

Then let's get on with it.

Yeah, but you have to understand, Tom, there are enormous risks.

I don't care. Do what you have to do.

I won't have this on my conscience as well as everything else.

Hot-headed as ever.

Well...

at least I know how to get things done.

I'm sorry. It needed to be said.

Lily, they are anxious parents, and you know that being a doctor

is more than just treatment and diagnosis.

The only option left for the SVT is adenosine.

Stopping her heart will reset its proper rhythm.

Are you're certain it isn't this hormonal disease

that is causing the tachycardia?

I don't think it can be.

The mother was worried about the blood results earlier,

and I think this is why.

OK, if he is AB positive,

and Nell's an O,

doesn't that mean...

She can't have MEN2A because she's not his daughter.

The little girl in there is terrified

that she's got that disease.

And he's going out of his mind with worry.

She's just standing by and letting it all happen.

We can't judge. We've just got to treat them.

Easy for you to say.

You can't lie and brush things under the carpet and carry on like normal.

THAT'S how people get hurt.

I'm needed in Resus.

Robyn, Sister Freeman is right.

It's none of our business.

Can you get parental consent for the adenosine, please?

That little girl needs to know.

-GRACE:

-I win again!

-JACOB:

-Twice in one day!

I give up.

My breaks are for having fun, relaxing,

-not getting my butt whooped at football.

-Told you I was good!

Grace?

What are you...

You're supposed to be in camp.

I didn't want to stay. It was awful.

OK. Right, we'll talk about this later.

When?

Well, I have work to do, so, er...let's go to my office.

I need to talk to you about something, anyway.

-See you, Jacob.

-See you later, firecracker!

Let me know when you fancy a rematch.

(Thank you.)

Dr Hardy, administer the ketamine up to 70mg, please.

Krish's BP is plummeting. We're losing him.

-His system's shutting down.

-He's increasingly tachycardic.

His sats are 94%, and his heart rate is 140.

OK, raise lactate and base deficient for both.

Krish's pH is 7.2.

-Do something. Please!

-Take her outside.

It's taking too long.

HE WINCES

-No, no, no, no!

-Argh!

-RITA:

-Tom, no!

-Tom!

GLASS SMASHES

Let theatre know what's happened. Get Krish upstairs while I stabilise Tom.

-Theatre! Now!

-Ohh!

Let's get him back on the trolley. Rapid infuse!

Louise, are you all right?

What have you done now?

Louise! You can do this.

Call for all the remaining crossmatch blood, and run through two units of FFP.

I'm looking at massive blood loss, visceral injuries.

He must have snagged an artery. He's going to arrest.

Tell the doctor we're discharging Nell.

What? No... I... I'd advise against that.

She's in pieces after what happened.

Now you want to stop her heart?

I'll call Dr Chao.

You can't stop us taking her to a different hospital.

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

We'll take her to St James's.

Talk to your consultant about her symptoms.

We don't need any more tests here.

-Excuse me...

-Move out of my way!

You can't do this! You need to tell him, because it's not fair on them.

There's no way Nell can have your condition.

You need to ask her why.

What's she talking about?

Robyn...

Take your break.

I'm sorry.

That's another two-minute cycle.

Let's see if we have anything.

CONTINUOUS BLEEP

He has been asystolic for too long.

There's too much damage.

He's got his whole life ahead of him. He can't die like this.

Rita, stop.

He deserves another chance.

Rita, he's gone.

We did our best.

Rita.

Time of death 14:28.

BLEEP STOPS

I didn't know.

Not until now.

How could you do that?

She'll always be yours.

She never has to know.

I wish I could turn back the clock, but...

-..I can't.

-How long were you going to carry on lying?

Months? Years?

Forever?

I could never find the right time.

You know how worried I was that I was going to give it to her.

Every time I thought about telling you...

..something else came up.

You're a coward.

Too busy playing happy families, when this was the important thing.

Mr Sullivan?

-Yes?

-You need to come. We need to treat your daughter.

I came to say...

thank you.

For earlier.

I don't know what happened.

Happens to us all.

I was in shock, I guess.

Are you sure you don't want a hand?

I'm sure.

I still don't get it, Rita.

You lied to another woman about getting beaten up.

What were you thinking?

It's like falling into a black hole.

You don't know how to stop.

All you needed to do was reach out.

We would have caught you.

It's all done.

Just like you asked.

I'll, er...

see you...

tomorrow?

Yeah, bright and early. And on time.

HE SIGHS

Look, everything you said about me...

It was right.

I've learnt my lesson.

I'm not going to report you, if that's what you're worried about.

Well, you... You should.

You should report me.

I deserve it.

I appreciate that, but...

I'm your boss,

and I guess I need to learn from this, and all, so...

let's just leave it at that, OK?

Does that go for Rita as well?

Come on, can't you see what you've done to her?

She was fine until you started messing with her head.

-Don't you think you've said enough?

-Well, you knew she was getting serious,

and you still kept going back for more. Like you say...

..takes a big man to accept when he's wrong.

This drug might make you feel anxious and scared.

It's going to stop your heart, but only for a few seconds.

It's going to be OK, yeah?

Are we ready?

MACHINE BLEEPS

CONTINUOUS BLEEP

SHE SIGHS

HE SIGHS

Argh!

MACHINE BLEEPS

SHE SIGHS

Holy mackerel.

You rang?

Er...a patient in cubicle 3 needs taking up to Darwin, please.

-I've arranged a bed.

-OK.

£8, really?

Too late. Got plans.

-Nine?

-Ten and you've got yourself a deal. And remember, no...

No nappies, no vomit. Yeah, OK.

Can you be at the boat seven sharp, yeah?

I know I've messed up,

but it doesn't have to change anything.

Please don't let it.

That girl is the most important thing in my world.

Mine, too.

She's OUR little girl.

Our little bridesmaid.

One step at a time, yeah?

They'll keep him intubated until they're certain his system can cope.

Thank you.

And for all you did for Tom.

If it's any comfort...

Tom knew what he was doing.

He loved you enough to give you a second chance.

Ah. Sorry, Dr Gardner. This arrived for you.

Thanks, Noel.

SHE CHUCKLES

Come on. Go to sleep.

Even Mr Huggy Frog's tired.

I thought you were meant to be an expert with babies.

Mate, I've done everything I can. I don't think this one's normal.

Yeah, sleep? Any time soon?

BABY SCREAMS

Right. You're meant to be an expert. Just get out.

You're a charlatan.

Well, you can't say I didn't try.

You're still going to pay me, right?

Just... Just get out.

BABY CRIES

All right.

Oh!

I was just coming to find you.

You look like you're in a rush.

Yeah, I've got some holiday, so I'm going to take it.

Listen, I, erm...

I shouldn't have said what I did.

I was angry. I AM...

still angry about what happened, but, er...

Well, I was out of line.

You were right.

I came back too soon.

Well, one person can't make this much mess.

You're a good man, Iain Dean.

Promise me one thing.

You'll remember the good times, cos it wasn't all bad.

Yeah. Yeah, of course.

Jacob.

Have you seen Connie?

Yeah, I think she's gone off for the day.

Listen, erm...

I'm really sorry to hear about that guy you lost.

I know it must have been a tough situation.

Yeah.

Yeah, it was.

But, erm...

on a lighter note...

looks like I'm here to stay.

You're jo... THEY LAUGH

That's what I like to hear! Yeah!

So, time to celebrate. Where are you taking me, pudding?

Sorry, pancake. I've got plans. I can't.

Hey, hey, hey.

I know that look.

-What are you talking about?

-You sure about this?

Bye, Ellie.

DYLAN HUMS A TUNE

# Picnic time for teddy bears

# You know the teddy bears are having a lovely time today

BABY WHIMPERS

# Watch them, catch them unawares

# And see them picnic on their holiday

# See them gaily gad about... #

Sorry I was so busy today, darling.

Hanging out with Jacob was pretty cool.

Really?

Pleased to hear it.

In actual fact, I, er...

wanted to talk to you.

What's wrong?

Gracie, what's wrong?

I had a fight with Carmel.

CONNIE SIGHS

Another one?

Sweetheart, I pay a fortune for you to go to that place.

You can't walk out every time you have an argument with a friend.

Typical of you! Forget it - I'll talk to Grandma instead.

Sweetheart! I promise you, by tomorrow, it will all be over, OK?

Now, why don't we grab some pizza and sit in front of the TV?

Well!

If it isn't my two favourite ladies!

Ah, Staff Nurse Masters.

Erm...thank you very much for helping out with Grace.

And, erm...I'll see you tomorrow.

OK.

No worries.

-Night, Jacob.

-Hey...

I'll keep practising!

Ready for that rematch.

Oi!

You're not going to come in?

Even Louise has put her hand in her pocket.

Not tonight.

HR sent me an e-mail saying you're going on holiday.

I need to get an agency nurse.

I've got a lot of holiday owed, so...

So, take as long as you want.

Just so you promise me you'll come back.

Is this to do with Iain?

No.

It's to do with me.

I can't keep making the same mistakes.

You can't just run away.

Where are you going to go?

Well, I thought I'd travel,

look up some old friends.

It's time, Charlie.

We both know that.

I'll miss you.

I know.

So, you look after that big old heart of yours, all right?

Stop scaring everybody.

I'll do me best.

Send us a postcard!

SHE CHUCKLES

You're funny!

Anyone ever told you that?
