Binge Britain Casualty

We thought you were dead.

-Gemma...

-It's Gem!

And I shouldn't have come here.

If you come near me again,

I'll show you why you should never upset a Geordie.

Grace?! What the hell happened?

-She had a fit.

-A fit?

-I told you! Didn't I?

-Not now!

Gemma Dean? You're coming with us.

A visiting order?

You can go and see Gem.

Thanks.

Visiting hours are over. If you can all make your way out.

Unidentified male,

I'm guessing about 19 years old.

At approximately three o'clock he was found unconscious

outside a kebab shop.

In his underwear?

Yeah. Suspected alcohol intoxication.

GCS 8 on arrival, it's now 13,

pulse 80, sats 97, BM of 4.

I thought I recognised him

from that club last night -

he must have carried on the party!

Top lad.

OK. Let's get him through to cubicles, then, please.

All right, that's enough of that! Thank you.

I think he likes you.

Yeah, can we do something about this, please?

Release the arm, please, mate.

We should at least investigate head injury, I think.

Well, perhaps he's just had one too many.

Iain. How was yesterday?

She didn't show.

But she said she'd see you - she agreed to the visiting order.

Yeah. She played both of us.

'The number you have dialled is no longer in use.'

We should have gone home first.

-Can you help me with this?

-Oh, what?

-Oh, hang on, hang on. I've got it.

-HE STRAINS

-Yes!

-Oh...

Right. This is it.

Back to reality.

How on earth have they managed without us, eh?

They probably haven't!

-All right. You got that?

-Yeah, I'm good.

-All right, darling.

-Excuse me, guys!

-Ooh, hello!

-Hi!

Hello.

Did you give me my mobile phone back?

-Yeah. I'm sure I did.

-I don't remember.

No hang on - no, it's not in my pocket.

-Let's get out of the firing line.

-OK - yup.

-Oh! Sorry.

-OK, could you, um...?

Our flight was delayed so we thought we'd just come straight back in.

Stupid.

Well, I wish you hadn't, because you're blocking reception here.

Um, Cal has just phoned in sick.

Well, he said he had a stomach bug but his speech was slurred.

I'm sure he just needs to get it out of his system.

The bug.

Well, a little bit more notice would have been beneficial

-on a Saturday night, yeah?

-Yes.

'Hey! This is Cal. Leave a message.'

Hey! It's me. Can you give me a call back, please?

I just need to know you're OK.

-Look in your suitcase, cos they've got that little...

-Aloha!

-Hola!

-What?

-Hakuna matata.

-Oh, yeah!

Hey! The honeymooners have returned.

Well, now's the best time to approach them.

Now's the worst time - they've only just got back.

How'd it go?

Yes, well...

I've just agreed to the terms.

So, I am now officially the new Medical Director.

Well, Grace will be happy to have her dad around.

Mm.

She will.

Anyway, what are you doing up here?

I thought this was your first day back at the helm.

Dylan's holding the fort.

Everyone knows Grace takes priority.

Hey, sweetheart. Mummy's here.

Someone's had a long sleep.

Gracie?

Baby, is everything OK?

Grace.

Mum?

Gem!

What are you doing here?

I got let out today, remember?

You have to go before he gets here.

Before who gets here?

I might owe some money.

-Yeah, I figured.

-Look...

These people, they're not the kind of people you want to owe.

We've got to get out of here, now.

Oh, God!

Going somewhere?

I just need a few more days to work something out.

I can't leave empty-handed. You know what he's like.

There's nothing left!

What about cash? Phones?

One of you must have something.

She's got nothing to do with it!

No! That's mine you can't just take it.

Stay off me! Get off me!

-Gem!

-That's not worth anything!

Not much, but it's better than nothing.

Don't you ever touch my daughter!

THEY SCREAM

Mum!

Mum! Mum!

-Hi!

-Hey.

I'm going to take a quick break before this place starts filling up.

Do you want to grab some fresh air?

I... I can't.

I'm waiting on some test results.

-OK. All right. See you in a bit.

-Yeah.

SALSA MUSIC

Come on!

Oh, whoa!

Oh, yes!

Whoa!

Excuse me.

I think you're a fantastic dancer, but can I please have my wife back?

Certainly.

-I hope you had a good time in, um...

-Tenerife.

-Tenerife.

Yes, we did.

We were there for the Carnaval de Santa Cruz -

it was spectacular.

Yes, it was!

Banana liqueur -

a little treat for everyone at the end of shift.

Oh, thank you, but I...

Um, I was wondering if you could do me a little favour?

Yeah, yeah, of course!

Name it, yeah.

Well... It's for Robyn, actually.

She needs a bit of a confidence boost,

and I just thought you are the perfect couple to give it to her.

-Oh!

-Yeah, yeah, yeah.

PHONE CHIMES

Who's the lucky guy?

Girl, actually. I met her at that club last night.

Oh, bro, you missed out!

I went as a tiger, yeah?

and this girl she was this beautiful, beautiful butterfly -

it was like...it was like lust at first sight.

Animal-themed club nights now?

Your life is way more exciting than mine.

-OVER RADIO:

-Control to 3-0-0-6.

Emergency call from Peckington Estate.

At 16:00 a woman in her 50s

fell approximately four metres down a staircase - currently unconscious.

OK. We're on our way. Over.

Jokes aside, I do need to get out more.

I need to meet new people. Have a fresh start.

Mate! You should throw a house party!

I know loads of middle-aged women I can bring.

I don't want a load of strangers in me house!

I've only just had the carpets done.

If you want a fresh start, you've got to be brave.

You've got to take yourself out of your comfort zone.

Hm.

SIREN CHIRPS

SHE LAUGHS

Almost there...

Ooh!

Happy hen do!

ALL CHEER

Robin Hood?

Wow!

Is this the woods where we used to play?

Yes!

Be prepared for an homage to our childhood!

Do you remember this photo? When we were kids?

I've got all our favourites.

Blueberry muffins, cheesy crisps...

prawn sandwiches - just like my mum used to make!

And...

..our favourite song!

Can you remember the dance?!

MUSIC: Saturday Night by Whigfield

Whoo!

I said I didn't want a stripper!

Oh...

He's not a stripper.

He's a Butler In The Buff! Whoo!

Woohoo!

Wake up, please, wake up!

Gemma?

-When did you get out?

-Help her, please!

-How far did she fall?

-From up there.

I'm Jez. I'm a paramedic.

I'm just going to hold your head while we check you over. All right?

She needs to be fully immobilised.

Can you get a collar, block and spinal board?

Don't just stand there! Come on.

Iain?

Mum.

THEY CHEER

Yeah! My go, my go, my go!

Show me the love! Whoo!

-Whoo! Whoo!

-THEY CHANT: Karla, Karla, Karla!

Shh! Guys, guys, guys - I'm concentrating.

DAISY: Fine, thank you...

Wahey! Woohoo!

Agh!

Help!

This is Kim Harrison, 51 years old.

At four o'clock she fell approximately four metres

down a staircase, whilst under the influence of alcohol.

We were unable to clear her neck at the scene.

GCS on arrival was 6, it's now 13.

-Pulse 100, BP130/75.

-Bed 4, please.

Sats 97 and BM of 6. She's had 250ml of 10% dextrose.

Gem, you're...you're out!

Oh, disappointed?

She's the one that grassed me up to the police.

I don't know what all this is about,

but can we just do a primary survey, please,

and get this woman booked in for a full-body CT?

Cross on three, please.

One, two, three.

Look, I thought I was making the right decision at the time.

Self-righteous cow.

SHE SPITS

Right! We don't tolerate behaviour like that in here.

Mum, just leave it, yeah?

She's your mum?

Right, can we get this young lady booked in to reception, please?

We'll let you know if there's any news. All right?

-You all right?

-Yeah.

Is that why you didn't show yesterday?

Cos you'd already got out?

I got out this morning.

So why leave me sitting there like a lemon?

Lily said you'd see me.

Yeah, well, I changed my mind.

You don't want to be part of this family -

you couldn't even look Mum in the eye.

It's not that. It's just a shock. She looks so much older.

That's what happens when you poison yourself, innit?

No, that's what happens when you don't see someone for eight years!

Don't worry, you can wash your hands of us - we don't need your pity.

Keep still.

You need to keep your collar on until after the scan.

You think I'm taking orders from you?

Miss Harrison, you have to keep still.

But I've got an itch that needs scratching!

Then let me scratch it - because you're not taking this collar off.

It's the other side.

-OVER RADIO:

-Holby Control to 3-0-0-6.

Yeah, sure - attending. Over.

Right, I've got another call out.

You're leaving?

Yeah, well, she's not going anywhere, is she?

Can you make sure Gem stays put till I get back, please?

If you really have to go.

Seriously?

Henrik, if Sam Strachan was your best choice for Medical Director,

I'd hate to see the other candidates.

No, that's fine. Thank you.

Can you... Can you see this?

Is it worth trying these?

HE SIGHS

Sweetheart, look, are you in any pain?

Anywhere?

Or are you just feeling sleepy?

Sweetheart, do you know what we're asking?

Sweetheart...

all right, just squeeze my hand if you understand.

Right...

What if she had a seizure in the night?

Oh, come on - don't be ludicrous.

There's no need to panic.

Our daughter is not communicating. I have every right to be concerned.

Well, just give it more time.

Where are you going?

I'm going to get her doctor. Someone needs to do something.

Eight years?!

That's a hell of a long time not to see your family, bro.

I was in the army.

I thought you said you left the army years ago.

How come you never got back in touch?

Jez, just leave it, yeah?

-All right? Cheers.

-Hey! Long time no see.

-Hey, you all right?

Nice apron, by the way.

Cheers!

Is there anybody you don't know?

Hurry! She's bleeding.

All right, I'm Jez, this is Iain.

OK.

Let's have a look at this for you.

All right, you're lucky.

It's missed the main artery.

And I fell on my other arm.

Let me take a look at that for you.

-Agh!

-We'll get you something for the pain as soon as we can, all right?

It could be a fracture. Can you get a vacuum splint, please?

Yep.

How did you manage this?

Excuse me, excuse me, thank you.

All right.

OK. Easy does it.

Can we talk somewhere quiet?

I'm not going anywhere with you.

I know you didn't turn up to see your brother yesterday,

and clearly you're still angry about everything...

but I thought you'd want an update on your mother's progress.

Well, go on, then. You can tell me here.

It looks like she has suffered a couple of rib fractures

from the fall.

She's going in for a full-body CT and X-rays.

Is she going to be OK?

We won't know any more until we have the results -

but, clinically, she seems to have avoided any serious injuries.

You can go in and see her shortly.

There's somewhere I've got to be.

Agh...

Are you hurt?

It's nothing.

Your mother's not out of the woods yet.

Well, she sounds fine to me.

At least wait until your brother gets back.

You can tell him it's his turn to look after Mum.

OK, this is Daisy Ashcroft, 34 years old.

At approximately 15:45

she was shot with a sporting bow and arrow entering her left upper arm.

She also fell onto her right arm - possible fracture.

GCS 15, BP 130/80, pulse 85, BM 6, sats 98%.

-She also had 10 morphine.

-Right.

An arrow injury - you don't see those every day.

-I'll be with you on this.

-Can I go with her?

I'm afraid not. There's a waiting area just over there.

Yes, we're quite busy, aren't we?

Right, let's take her through to Resus and assess her there -

and book her for an X-ray. Make sure there's no underlying damage.

Iain, can we have a word?

-Yeah - would you mind taking this?

-Oh, yeah. Yeah.

What's up?

Gem took off. I tried to stop her.

You said you'd keep an eye on her!

And you could have requested another crew to attend that call

and stayed with your family -

you were just looking for an excuse to leave.

DYLAN: I'm just going to give you a little injection to numb the area.

Can we stand by with some tetanus immunoglobulin

and co-amoxiclav? Thank you.

Would you like me to phone your fiance?

Let him know you're OK?

Er... No. He's on his stag do, I don't want to worry him.

If he'd rather be out drinking than by your side,

he's not a man worth marrying.

Um...

My mobile's in my handbag.

He's under Honeybee.

Do you want me to pull it out?

Good Lord, no. That's the fun bit, isn't it?

OK, are you ready? On three, then.

Three! SHE GASPS

-Well done.

-Do you want it as a souvenir?

No?

You can't be in here.

I had to make sure you're all right.

Just tell me what I can do to make this up to you.

I just want to be on my own.

Hey! You should have waited for your results.

SHE COUGHS

Luckily your CT showed no signs of spinal injury -

although you sustained a few fractures on your ribs

and your right heel.

We're going to plaster the foot

and keep it elevated on a pillow overnight.

I want her doing all that, not you.

I need to carry out another examination.

Do you mind if I lift up your gown?

I most certainly do!

Miss Harrison, I know you're trying to make a point

by being as difficult as possible -

but all you're doing is putting your own health at risk.

I'm just going to lie you down.

Fill your boots.

When you're done poking around down there,

maybe you can find my son for me.

I'm starting to think that he's avoiding me or something.

I'll go and find Iain for you.

Have you seen a phone around here?

Just run out of credit.

I saw the doc using one over there.

Any chance of a swig?

Finish it.

You look like you've had a rough day.

Cheers, you're a legend!

Her liver was not as big as I was expecting,

but the cirrhosis seems fairly established.

It would have been progressing this way for some time.

But the liver is also a very resilient organ,

and if she stops drinking now

it's highly likely the damage will be reversible.

You've never spoken about your mother before.

Are you two very close?

We used to be.

I thought the news might be best coming from you.

Right, we'll get that cleaned up and then send you for an X-ray

-to see how much glass is in the wound.

-OK, kid.

I've never understood why people have to beat each other up

when they get a few drinks.

The same reason some people get a terrible tattoo - stupidity!

No, no, no. I'm sorry, mate.

You must have the wrong address.

I mean, no-one would order fried chicken to a hospital.

You're a star! Keep the change.

Mwah!

Mm-mm-mm. Mmm!

Chicken?

Er, no, I'm all right.

You're really not supposed to bring fried food into here.

Karla!

Is Daisy OK? What happened?

She just fell over, grazed her arm - it's nothing serious.

So I could have stayed out on my stag?

She's always making a big deal out of nothing.

Oh, no, no, no. Look mate, I'm sorry. Excuse me.

You're going to have to cover yourself up.

There are a lot of people in here with weak constitutions.

I'd love to, but sadly my clothes have been confiscated.

MUSIC: Saturday Night by Whigfield

Sorry, mate. Excuse, excuse me.

Look, can you just put that on?

Can you just cover yourself...? Cover your derriere.

Think of the children!

Think of the children.

Do you guys want some booze?

-Hell, yes! Come on, boys!

-THEY CHEER

CORK POPS

Wahey!

Is that what I think it is?

No. No! Not in here.

Oi! That's enough!

-Enough!

-You want that? You take it outside!

-Enough, you two!

-Turn it down, please.

-Just break it up!

-Turn that down!

-Enough!

Carry on with that, security's going to chuck you out.

Come on, be reasonable - this is a hospital.

Where did you get that?

That was a present.

It's Armageddon.

My handsome boy.

I thought you'd done a runner.

Where's your sister?

She's gone.

Just don't worry about that for now, all right?

Why?

What's happened?

I'm afraid you have cirrhosis.

It's a type of damage to your liver.

What kind of damage?

It means if you don't stop drinking, Mum,

there's a good chance you're going to die.

Right, you sit down over here and behave.

Right! That's it!

Security are on their way to evict you from the building.

Give me that. Thank you!

Come on! Can you get down from there? This isn't a club.

Hey!

-What did you do that for?

-You put your hand up my skirt!

Well, what do you expect? Look at the size of it!

Excuse me?!

SHE GROANS

What happened? You OK?

Great.

Oh, that's great isn't it?

Just perfect.

Where did you get that from?!

Louise!

Where did you get it?

Some lass dressed as Robin Hood asked me to take it off her hands.

Sorry. I've been trying to keep an eye on her,

but I'm rushed off my feet.

You have just been told that you could die if you carry on drinking.

I have to have it, Iain.

My whole body aches without it - I can't even think straight.

Alcoholism is a disease -

once it enters your body it fights to keep hold of it at all costs.

Do you think I'm happy being like this?

I'm miserable when I'm drunk. I'm miserable when I'm sober.

Maybe if I was...

..dead I'd finally have some peace and quiet.

People beat alcohol addiction all the time -

what's Gem going to do without you?

I sold all her stuff so I could carry on drinking!

I'm a terrible mum. I always have been.

I am so, so sorry...

..for everything.

I love you.

Ooh...

SHE GROANS

Oh...

Mum?!

Is that all blood?

With her alcohol history we have to assume a variceal bleed.

Pulse rate 110 - resp 30.

Can we get her into Resus, please?

Let's get another big line in - cross match for six units.

Can I get some TXA standing by, 2mg of terlipressin?

I'm never drinking again!

At least not until Monday.

I think it's very unlikely that alcohol alone

would cause this level of projectile vomiting.

Let's pop you in this cubicle here, shall we?

Pop yourself up on the bed for me, please.

It's most probably a severe form of food poisoning.

It's the chicken, isn't it?

When did you have the chicken?

Was it less than an hour ago?

In which case that's not enough time

for the bacteria to have worked their way into your system.

What else have you eaten today?

Any meat that wasn't in the fridge? Any fish?

The prawn sandwiches!

Oh...

I maxed out my credit card and a guy down the market

said he'd give me a whole sack of prawns for a fiver.

Has anybody else had these prawns?

Yes.

They did smell a bit fishy, but then I thought, they're fish -

that's what they're meant to smell like.

OK, well, we'll have to do a stool sample to be sure,

but I would imagine that these prawns

might have something to answer for.

OK. Let's get them all booked in.

I'll assess them and we'll take it from there, then.

Well, the good news is

you'll only need to keep the cast on for four to six weeks.

Brilliant, I'll get it off just after the wedding.

Daisy, I'm so sorry. I...

What's wrong with her?

She's got food poisoning.

Did you partake in these prawn sandwiches?

I'm a vegan.

Since when?!

Greg persuaded me it was the only way to be at one with my body.

Ugh.

You know what? I think with this magnitude of food poisoning

I ought to alert the Health Protection Agency -

I'll be straight back.

Sugar puff!

-Ow!

-Oh! Sorry.

At least the kids at school will be impressed

when I tell them I got shot in the arm with a bow and arrow.

Nice outfit, by the way.

You got shot with a bow and arrow?

You said she fell!

It was an accident.

I was aiming for the target.

I knew you shouldn't have let her organise the hen do.

I seriously think you should consider

whether she should still be invited to the wedding.

YOU shouldn't be invited to the wedding!

He's a monumental tool.

Now, I know you don't mean that. Please apologise to Greg.

Over my dead body!

Karla!

He stuck his hand up my skirt!

That's the kind of man you're marrying.

BP's dropping

Kim? Can you hear me?

Kim?

She's unresponsive.

Let's intubate. Drugs in.

Cricoid on.

OK. Laryngoscope.

Sats still falling.

ET tube, please.

I can't see anything.

Suction again.

Let's go again. Tube.

We need to get this tube cuffed.

Good. It's in.

Inflate the cuff, please.

OK. Good air entry bilaterally.

Cricoid off.

Secure the tube.

Sats are stabilising.

Let's get her into theatre to stop the bleeding.

All right... Hang on in there, Mum!

Where are you going?

I need to find Gemma.

She was the one who was all over me -

you know what's she's like.

-Excuse me.

-Yeah -

cos you're so irresistible in that outfit(!)

I'm just going to give you some fluids

and some anti-sickness medication.

You have to believe me.

Look, Greg wouldn't behave like that

and you've never had any shame when you're drunk -

look at how you were around the stripper.

He was a Butler In The Buff!

I'd never look twice at Greg -

he's your fiance...

and he's really unattractive.

Do you know, all I wanted was a quiet hen do?!

A relaxing spa weekend. Afternoon tea. Cocktails.

I didn't want to end up in hospital and have my fiance groped

by my maid of honour!

Can I get discharged, please?

I'd like to go home as soon as possible.

I'll be with you as soon as I can.

I can't believe she thinks I could do that.

Look, I didn't see what happened,

but one thing I've learnt over the years

is that there's no point having anyone in your life

who doesn't think you're the bee's knees.

How's your mum?

Oh, you know - nearly died - rushed to theatre.

Absolute worst case scenario.

-I'm really sorry, man.

-Yeah, well, I need to get hold of Gem -

I don't even have her number.

I'm going to phone Young Offender's, see if they'll give it to me.

PHONE RINGS

-Hello?

-'Iain!'

-Gemma?

-'Iain, help me, please!'

-All right, slow down.

-'Iain!'

-Gemma?

Gemma?!

Is she all right?!

No, she's in trouble. Get in.

We'll phone Control on the way.

Just leave me alone.

I just wanted to say goodbye.

It's such a shame you're not going to be at the wedding.

It makes you angry doesn't it?

That I wouldn't sleep with you if you were the last man on Earth.

-You keep telling yourself that.

-Get off me!

See? I told you - she can't keep her hands off me.

Get out.

I never want to see you again.

I'm not going anywhere.

She's a liar!

Don't embarrass yourself!

-You've already made a fool of me.

-You're upsetting my patients.

I'm going to have to ask you to leave.

What the hell has it got to do with you?!

Security! Could you please escort this man off the premises?

Fine.

Fine!

-You're going to regret this.

-I'll be right back.

Just how many drunks are we throwing out tonight?

The pubs haven't even closed yet. This is just the beginning.

How are we supposed to treat the patients who are actually sick?!

Shouldn't we call the police?

No. Gem's only just got out.

I don't want to risk sending her back inside.

-'Iain!'

-Gemma?

-'Iain! Iain, help me, please!'

-Gemma?!

-'Iain!'

-You must be the brother.

-'Iain!'

-She said you'd come and mess us up.

I was expecting someone a little less...

..old.

I'll give you old.

Yah!

'Iain!'

Back off!

-You wouldn't dare...

-Yeah?

Try me!

Right, ladies.

Let's see if we can come to some sort of understanding, yeah?

Utterly useless woman.

Offered no new information at all.

What kind of new information were you expecting?

Our daughter's not speaking. It's her job to find out why.

It might not be even be anything medical.

Oh, what else would it be?

Call Jones or one of the senior neurologists.

You're Medical Director.

Come on, I can't blatantly start throwing my weight around -

I've only just been appointed.

Well, that's exactly what you did when your girlfriend was in the ED.

-Oh, come on!

-Hm?

What's more important than your daughter's health? Make the call.

Gem, it's me. You can come out now.

You took your time.

I'll go make sure they're gone, all right?

Listen, I had no way of getting hold of you.

How did you get my number?

Lily gave it to me.

Doctor Chao saves the day again, eh?

How did you get rid of them?

I gave them what they wanted.

I'm going to pay off Mum's debts.

Why should you have to pay for her mistakes?

You've looked after her for the last eight years.

I should do my bit.

In that case, I'll leave you to it.

No wait!

Gemma, you need to come to the hospital with me.

No chance.

I only came back to pick something up.

I've got to get away from this place -

from Mum...and you.

She's not in a good way.

She'll be back in the pub in no time.

I can't sit and watch her do that to herself any more.

I know how you feel,

but at the end of the day she's still our mum.

Oh, you've changed your tune!

If you want to try and make up for the last eight years

then you go ahead - but I've done my bit.

She nearly died.

They rushed her to theatre,

and I don't know if she's going to make it.

OK, just press down on there. That's it.

And then I'll get you discharged.

I'll order us a taxi.

It's all right.

I think I need some time on my own.

I'm so sorry.

You know I didn't mean any of that stuff I said.

Yes, you did.

You're right -

I do love my drink, and my men,

but I don't think I should ever have to apologise for that.

Maybe we could start again...

Put today behind us.

Or maybe we've just grown apart.

We're not the same people we were when were kids.

It's no-one's fault.

Neither of us should have to change...

..but we are allowed to move on.

-Lily!

-How is she?

Any news?

Did you not get my messages?

No. We had something to sort out.

The surgeons managed to stop the bleed,

but it's very early days and she's being monitored on ITU.

That's good, right?

That they've stopped the bleed - she's going to be OK?

You're mother got lucky.

If she keeps on drinking

she'll put herself at risk of a fatal bleed in the future.

-Are you taking that with you?

-Yeah!

One of the hens gave it to me, said she was never drinking again.

Do you fancy cracking it open in the park?

Come on! We can pretend we're teenage reprobates.

I'm to stick around and help out.

Didn't your shift finish half an hour ago?

Yes, it did, um...

It's been a crazy night, I'd feel bad leaving everyone.

Or you could tell me what's really going on.

Come on, Ethan, lying really isn't your forte.

It's Cal.

He's been staying out all night.

He called in sick this morning, and I can't get hold of him.

So, he's obviously in a really bad place.

I just don't think it's a good idea for us to be spending time together.

Right.

Er... Yeah. No, that makes total sense.

So...

Cool.

Right, well, I'll see you around, then.

The honeymoon's definitely over.

Yes, it is.

This time yesterday we were drinking this stuff on the beach.

Don't!

We can carry on the party at home.

Hey, guys!

Go on - how was the honeymoon?

We've talked about nothing else all day.

We'd rather hear how you are.

Really?

When I was pregnant the first time, I found those books a bit daunting.

What really helped was the advice from my friends.

The two of us have got enough experience between us

to write half a dozen of those books.

David put you up to this didn't he?

No.

He wants to help. We all do.

You just have to let us.

Well, it's nice to have you guys back.

I didn't think you'd come back.

Yeah, well, I shouldn't have left.

You have every right to be angry.

I wouldn't blame you if you never wanted to see me again.

We thought this would cheer you up.

Our day trip to Scarborough!

We didn't know you'd stolen the donkey

till that bloke chased us down the beach.

I didn't steal the donkey.

I borrowed it.

We were leading it down the streets with Gem on its back!

I felt like a princess in a fairy tale...

until the owner caught up with us

and we had to leg it to the train station before he called the police.

See?

I knew how to show you kids a good time.

We just wanted to see how you are before we finished our shifts.

Never better.

So, what happens now? In terms of treatment.

The gastroenterology team will see you for follow-up.

Yeah, but what about AA and rehab facilities?

Well, we can refer you to some alcohol services,

but the waiting list does tend to be quite long.

So what are we meant to do,

-just wait for her to drink herself to death?

-Gemma!

Baby...

it's too late for all of that.

I'm never going to beat this.

You almost died today!

If that's not a wake up call, I don't know what is.

Gemma, it's not as simple as that.

No, but I can help you - I'll come home.

Iain's going to pay off your debts,

so you won't have to worry about that any more.

You don't have to bail me out.

I was never there for you when you needed me.

Mum...

I just want you to concentrate on getting better, OK?

You see?

It's a fresh start for the three of us.

We can get through this together.

I...

I just don't want to make any more promises that I can't keep.

Well, don't expect me to sit around and watch you kill yourself!

Let me have a look at your wrists.

No! It's fine - just leave me alone!

Let me go.

Mrs Harrison, you take care of yourself.

She's right, Mum.

You can't expect her to come back home.

She's been dealing with this on her own for far too long.

It looks like it's sprained.

I'm going to get you some analgesia to relieve the pain.

Don't bother.

I'll pick something up at the chemist.

I understand why you want to punish your family,

but I also know you want things to work out,

or you wouldn't have accepted Iain's visiting order.

I stood him up, remember?

He'll just run away, anyway. That's what he does.

Iain may seem tough, but he cares about you, and he's not a liar.

If he says he's going to help,

I'm sure you can trust him.

I'll get you that analgesia now.

Why don't you just go home?

Pretend we don't exist.

Just listen to me!

Right, while I was away, I thought about you all the time.

I just couldn't be around Mum - not in that state.

That's the only reason I joined the army.

You said you'd come back!

I tried to find you when I got home, but the flat was all boarded up.

I had no idea where you'd gone.

Oh, you tried once? Is that meant to make me feel better?

-I'm your little sister!

-I know.

And I know you'll probably never forgive me,

especially after what happened with the police,

but you've at least got to let me try and make it up to you.

Why don't you move in with me?

What, after everything you've done?

What about Mum, anyway?

She's got no-one to look after her.

We can both keep an eye on her - together.

And anyway...

if you hate me so much,

why are you still wearing that?

I bought you that for your ninth birthday.

Did you?

I don't remember.

Listen, I...

I can't bring back all the years I was away,

but I am here for you now, if you'll let me be.

I could stay a couple of nights -

but just until I get somewhere permanent.

Yeah, obviously.

I don't want you hanging around like a bad smell.

Vomit has such a distinctive smell.

Mm.

I should have been a vet.

Animals are much better behaved - especially at the weekends.

How do you think one of these would go down in Holby?

A Booze Bus?

Mm. It's manned by a nurse and a paramedic.

They treat the drinkers in the town centre,

so they don't gravitate towards us like a plague of locusts.

I've heard of a number of hospitals that use them very successfully.

Would we get funding for this? How much would it cost?

I've not the first idea.

An internet search is as far as I've got.

Well, get cracking, then.

I expect to read your proposal first thing in the morning.

No, I plan on going home and having a jolly good sit,

thank you very much.

How many more weekends do you want like this?

The patients, they're relying on you, Doctor Keogh.

She's so strict! I love it.

Lily!

Just give me a sec, yeah?

Running off to flirt with girls? Nothing's changed.

-I don't flirt!

-Of course you don't.

I... I just wanted to say sorry for being a prat earlier.

You're amazing at dealing with my wayward family.

I was just doing my job.

So, I'd like to buy you a pint, or maybe a coffee -

actually, I don't think I could handle the pub after today.

I've a lot of work to finish tonight.

Another time?

OK.

Goodnight, Iain.

Goodnight.

You two are so going to get together.

Who? Me and Chuckles?

Nah, that would never work.

Never in a million years.
