HE SPLUTTERS

Jez, are you all right, mate?

I've got her! I've got her!

Anybody else in there? Jez, are you listening to me?

No, no, no! No, I shouted.

-I looked everywhere. No.

-All right.

SHE COUGHS

What's your name?

SHE COUGHS

SIREN WAILS

SHE SPEAKS OWN LANGUAGE I don't know what she's saying.

Right, let's get her on some O2 and get her obs straight, OK?

-HORN HONKS

-OK, come on.

Late to the party again, boys!

Superman decided to go in himself.

-Let's get her back.

-What did you think you were doing?

JEZ COUGHS

SHE SPEAKS OWN LANGUAGE

Right, let's get you checked over, yeah?

SHE COUGHS

Can you tell me your name?

My baby...

What? What's your name?

-Baby... Please...

-Your name?

SHE SPEAKS OWN LANGUAGE

SHE COUGHS Look, Jez, I've got this, mate.

I think you should drive.

OK? Be careful, and get some O2 yourself.

You've taken in a lot of smoke, all right?

No, no, no, no. I'm not leaving her, please.

Please.

You're just going to feel a little sharp scratch, OK?

Please...

Come on, now, we have to do this.

-House...

-There we go.

Right, OK, I want to get this lovely lady out of here, Jez.

SHE COUGHS I've put a line in.

Can you flush it through, please?

I'm going to let the fire boys know that we're done.

All right, Jez?

-Jez?

-Yes, let's go!

Look, focus. That is not happening. Not today.

We are not losing anybody.

-MUMBLING:

-Baby...baby...

We've got you out now.

You're safe now. You're safe. Just keep that there.

Just keep that...

SHE COUGHS

No, no, no, it's OK. It's OK. You're safe. You're safe.

-SHE COUGHS

-No. Baby inside.

What?

Baby, baby...

Baby in house!

-Iain!

-Yeah?

-There's a baby in there!

-What?

There's a baby in the house!

SIREN WAILS

No, no, no. You've got to breathe on this, OK? Just breathe.

She sleep, my baby...

She'll be OK. Listen to me.

Your baby will be OK, I promise you.

-SHE COUGHS

-Iain, I want to go back.

We can't leave the baby there.

Jez, don't be daft. We've got to do this right.

The fire boys were there,

and there's another ambulance on its way, ETA four minutes.

-JEZ COUGHS

-What's your name, miss?

Hmm? Name?

3006 to Control...

-Receiving.

-She's getting drowsy, Iain, come on!

Can you let Holby ED know that we're en route

with a female from a house fire?

3006 received.

Tell Control about the baby!

Suffering from smoke inhalation, and partial thickness burns.

-Look at me.

-Also, a member of the emergency services -

Jez Andrews, that is - also suffering from smoke inhalation

-and a hero complex.

-We're nearly there, OK? We're nearly there.

Whoa, whoa, whoa!

Dougie!

-What are you doing?

-I need to help this lad.

We need to get to ED!

-DOOR SLAMS

-Iain!

Yeah. Yeah, I'm fine.

Iain. Come on!

-There's no-one.

-Who are you looking for?

-Nobody.

-All right, let me take a look at that for you.

-No, it's fine.

JEZ COUGHS

Jez!

-Iain, come on!

-Dougie!

-Dougie!

-Jez, we've got to get this kid...

-Iain, we've got to go!

-Dougie!

-We can put him in the back with her.

-She's not good...

-Dougie, Dougie!

-SHE SPEAKS OWN LANGUAGE

-No, no, no, no.

Just relax, just relax, just relax...

-Stay where you are. There's another ambulance on its way.

-Just relax...

That's it. Where are you from?

Where are you from? Where?

Korea.

Korea? Well, I've been to Thailand. Is that close?

By Sabai? What's your name?

-My baby...

-3006 to Control.

She'll be OK.

-What's the baby's name?

-Can you send a second unit over?

Stella.

-Stella? That's a pretty name.

-Lad, 18 or so with an injured wrist.

-He's fully alert and mobile.

-What's your name?

Sun-Mi.

Sun-Mi. OK, Sun-Mi.

OK, just breathe on this, OK?

That's better, isn't it? Yeah, that's good.

That's better.

Have you... Have you lived here long?

SIREN WAILS

Have you lived here long?

-Jez...

-Yeah?

How are we doing?

Yeah, we're OK. Have Control got back to us?

JEZ COUGHS Look, just forget it.

They know what they're doing, all right?

It's going to be fine. We're here.

Right. We're here now.

I'm going to be staying with you all the way, all the way...

Baby, baby, please...

JEZ COUGHS

Right, Mr Andrews, what have we got?

Smoke inhalation, burns to her left hand,

and I've had her on high-flow oxygen...

Have you got a name?

OK, bucko, you take it easy.

You look like you've been through the wars yourself.

Anyone said anything about the baby?

Let's get this young lady into Resus,

then we'll worry about that.

Does she speak any English?

Very little. Has anyone said anything?

Jez, let's do this right. Name!

It's on the PCF.

I'll get it. I'll get it.

-Was it a house fire?

-JEZ COUGHS

Yeah, she was found with extensive smoke inhalation.

Jez went in...

CAR HORN HONKS

-You're late...

-Like five minutes.

Yeah, but she said we had to be here...

Excuse me, sorry, are you Nurse Duffer?

Sister Duffin, no, but I know somebody who is.

Sorry, my mum's got terrible handwriting.

How can I help you?

We're from St Abigail's Girls.

Ah, there you are!

I thought you'd been told to meet me before the shift.

-Sorry, are you OK with this?

-Yeah, I'm fine.

Oh, and Charlie got the nappies.

-They're in the car.

-Brilliant, thank you!

Right, I'm Sister Duffin, and you must be...

-Diamond.

-Er, I'm Chloe.

Well, you're both very late.

Excuse me.

I think what has been agreed is one hour's observation.

You understood that? Yep? Good.

So, you both want to be nurses?

Oh, no. Mum thinks I could be a consultant.

Well, shouldn't you be tailing a medic?

My mum said...

It's... It's OK.

And Chloe?

Oh, Nurse...

Sorry, do we call you, you know, "Nurse"?

You can call me Duffy, or "Oi" if it's an emergency.

Tell her what you want to be, Chloe.

Oh, I just want to help people in some capacity,

and make the world better.

Duffy, can I have a word later?

-Sure.

-What do I need to do?

So just fill your details here, take a seat,

-and someone will be with you shortly.

-Reception, Lou? Really?

Don't worry, there's nothing wrong with your meds.

Well, that's reassuring to know, but what exactly...? Excuse me.

What exactly are you supposed to be doing?

I thought you were in charge of triage?

-Yeah, it's called teamwork.

-Ah, yes.

Excuse me, I...

Miss Valiqa Shara?

Yes, that's me.

It is...

Diamond, Chloe, my first priority is your health and safety.

Diamond?

Who's that?

A busy junior doctor.

-That's right, isn't it, Alicia?

-It certainly is.

Oh, did you look at the "eczema" in cubicle seven?

I did, and it isn't. You were right.

Oh, this is praise indeed.

Diamond, please, could you put your phone away?

There are patients, their privacy...

But we need it for our coursework, you know?

Right. Well, we'll find a moment.

With you?

-Both, listen. Whatever happens, just do as I tell you, OK?

-Hello?

We're the professionals here, you're observing, is that clear?

I'm so sorry, Nurse,

-I just wonder if you could come and have a quick chat with Jerry...

-Yes.

You see, he felt a bit odd at practice, so I bundled him,

as in us lot, into the van and ran him down here,

but as you can see, he is fine now

and we're marching for the team later, so...

How odd?

D-I-Z-Z-Y, that's all,

but Candice-Marie, here, she always thinks the worst

-and so I was literally K-I-D-N...

-Thank you, Dad, yes.

That brass section are not going to get through

those charts on their own. Gormless lad!

Can you just give it a bit of a rest, just for a half a B-A-R?

As you're here now, Jerry, best someone checks you over.

They will call you. I'm sorry about the wait.

Actually, we have been here about half an hour now...

-Can't you see it's really busy here today?

-Diamond, thank you.

I'll tell Reception that,

and make sure your father's seen as quickly as we can.

Anything changes, please just say.

He seems fine, that man, and she was being a right pain...

Lesson two - appearances can be deceptive.

-Remember Lesson one?

-Lesson one?

-Leave it with you.

-Exactly.

Right, if you take a seat and fill that out for me.

Lou, what are you doing?

Oh, Noel's got man flu, or the bubonic plague,

and no-one's shown up from the agency,

so I said I'd stand in for ten minutes.

-It's like riding a bike.

-Oh, right.

So, have either of you been in an emergency department before?

No. Well, yes, when I was little, but I can't remember it.

OK. Chloe?

For my grandpa. He had a fall.

Oh. Is he all right now?

-Thanks.

-No.

No, he passed...

Oh.

..at Christmas.

Oh, I'm sorry to hear that.

But neither of you have spent any time in and around hospitals?

Right. Well, there are a few other things that I need to mention.

Sometimes things can happen very fast here, and when they do,

it requires all the members of staff to be very focused and...

Don't want to go out...

Oh, is that Rose back, Max?

-Not in anyone's way.

-She was wandering the corridor.

-Has she been seen yet?

-Don't want to go out.

I'll see if I can get someone from social services...

-I'll park here over here.

-Yeah.

-And you'll chase them?

-I'm on it.

OK. Where was I?

Oh, yes, and you might feel that you're in

-an uncomfortable situation...

-Excuse me.

Oh, I'm sure I'll be fine.

..or that there are things that you don't particularly want to see

or that you'd rather walk away from -

well, that is fine.

It's much better than fainting.

Chloe?

I think maybe I should go home now.

She fainted in Biology.

If you want to go, you can, of course.

I don't want to.

No, no, I can see that, but both listen -

all of us sometimes need to step away.

Just talk to me, if you need to.

No-one knows how they're going to react, trust me,

and sometimes those that are most frightened just walk it.

OK, Chloe?

And you, Diamond?

Rose, we've talked about this.

It's not that I don't fancy you -

I just don't have the stamina any more.

Right, girls, I need you to stay there for me.

And now the daily game of pass-the-patient begins,

and today young Rose here is our first competitor.

-And the family?

-Yes, they've got in contact with the hospital...

Are you all right, Rose? Yeah?

OK.

-WHISPERING:

-Diamond!

COUGHING

Jez...

-Diamond, what are you doing?

-JEZ COUGHS

Do you know what, Jez? Let's get you checked out as well, please.

-Mrs Beauchamp, I'm fine.

-No, you're not.

Now, does anyone speak Korean? Korean?

-Baby in... My baby...

-Right, let's keep her on high-flow oxygen.

I need bloods, including an ABG for the carboxyhaemoglobin,

and let's get a chest X-ray as well, please.

-Husband... Mr Sully...

-Huh?

-My husband.

-Husband! She's got a husband.

Have you got a number for your husband?

Jez, why don't you go and get cleaned up or something?

-Come on.

-Someone should call her husband.

They'll sort it, right.

Let's get you cleaned up and get back out there.

-All right, keep it together. Keep it together, Jez.

-I'm OK.

No, you're not. You know what? You're under everyone's feet.

Please, Iain, otherwise I'm going to have to do something myself.

-Right.

-Just let her do the work, Jez.

Robyn, I need those bloods now.

-MUFFLED:

-My baby...

Robyn, Robyn...

Go, Robyn, just go.

Charlotte'll be fine. I promise. Just go on.

-Anxiety. We'll cover for her.

-No, it's fine.

Girls, I thought I asked you to wait outside.

But you were busy, and Chloe wanted to see what happened in here.

If you can't do as you're told, I'm going to ask you to leave.

Do you understand me?

But this is amazing.

-Duffy, sorry, I need some help here.

-Sure. Both wait there.

Guys, give her some privacy, please.

PHONE RINGS Yeah, on our way. Holby ED.

Keep an eye on those two for me, can you?

A-level or something.

The tall one, Diamond, she's a right monkey.

For you, sweetheart, anything.

Two, OK, right...

-OK, then...

-So, your first time in an emergency department?

-No.

-Yes.

Well, I'm glad we sorted that.

OK, Charlie, we've got two incoming from a motorcycle RTC.

One query spinal injury, one query fractured wrist.

-ETA four minutes, OK?

-Right.

Connie, how are you doing now?

-All right?

-We could do with an interpreter.

-Yeah.

-Presumably not on the end of the phone?

No, it definitely needs to be in person, Charlie.

OK, leave it with me.

Right, ladies, follow me.

OK, everyone, let's get ourselves ready for this RTC, then, please.

Are you the boss?

Why, has something gone wrong?

No, I don't think so.

Then, yeah, yeah, I'd say I'm the boss. You are?

-Diamond Whittaker...

-I can't, I'm afraid.

I am going to be a consultant, like you.

All right, good, good.

-CHARLIE CLEARS HIS THROAT

-I'll catch you later.

Right you are.

It might be best if you leave it for a while before you start

asking questions in a situation like that.

Oh. He seems very friendly.

"Seems" being the operative word.

-Excuse me, she's got my arm and she's trying to kiss me!

-Rose.

No, can you just please...? She won't let go of my wrist!

Rose. All right, darling.

-She won't let go.

-All right, sweetheart.

Now, surely a lady of your stature requires someone with

a bit more life experience, wouldn't you say?

Speaking of which, Max will be back in just a minute.

Max...

Yes, Max.

I thought she was dying or something.

Rose? No, she's full of life.

Well, what did she want?

A little bit of love, just like we all do.

Right, let's get some sugar into you and get back on the road.

I can't believe I didn't think about there being a baby, Iain!

Jez, right, snap out of it -

you went in there and you got the lady out, end of.

They will have got the baby.

The fire boys were there by then. You're a paramedic.

You don't get it, do you? You just don't get it.

I woke up this morning thinking,

"At last, I've got my life back on track,"

and that's after a long, long time. Now look!

-Well, you chose to go in.

-What? Are you saying I was wrong?

Guys, guys, guys, what is this?

Sorry, Jacob.

Laddo here. Suffering from post-heroic stress disorder.

Well, there is good news.

They got the baby out.

-Are you sure?

-Yeah.

-And she's OK?

Look, all I heard was that they found her, and she's out.

-You see?

-Get in there! Yes!

Ah! Easy!

Get off.

Oh, that's the one thing about being a superhero -

one minute you're down and next minute you're losing your marbles!

OK, now, guys, please, can we all just get on with our jobs?

-They're saying it was arson.

-Yes!

-Are you OK?

-Come here.

You guys can get cleaned up in there if you want.

-DIAMOND YAWNS

-Diamond!

What?

Yes, I need a Korean speaker.

Oh, hoorah!

Sorry, have you met Dr Gardner?

Much of what we do is wait on the phone.

Living in an entirely different space-time continuum...

Elle, with me, please, out front.

Charlie... The RTC's in.

They're here already?

-Welcome. Mm-hm.

-Have you...?

-What have we got?

-Oh...

Hello.

No.

No, Dr Gardner has just disappeared, I'm afraid.

No, not even her shoes.

Come on, let's see this.

No, she said to wait with Charlie.

You'll be the one missing out.

North Korean, South Korean - I mean, is there a difference?

SIREN WAILS

-Right, nice and easy, please. Nice and easy.

-Mate, I'm fine.

Can you just make sure you look out for my brother's boy, yeah?

-Chrissie? Are you there?

-This is Dougie Cox.

He was found immobile, about ten metres from your bike

-on the Dock Road.

-Chrissie? Have they got you, Chris?

-Just take it nice and easy.

-Chrissie? Chrissie?

-BONE CRACKS

-Argh!

-OK, let's isolate that neck, please.

Let's get him through to Resus as quick as we can, please.

Is he all right? Uncle Dougie, are you all right?

-Just get me out of here, please.

-What's happening?

Somebody tell me what's happening. Is he going to be OK? Uncle Dougie!

TROMBONE PLAYS LOUDLY

Oh, shut up!

Wow.

LOUD TAPPING

One second. Can you fill in that one for me?

TAPPING CONTINUES

Excuse me...

Excuse me, could you get your mate here to stop his rap-a-tap-tap?

It is doing my head in and, as you can see,

we've got other things going on apart from whatever that's called...

Excuse me.

-Paradiddles!

-I've been trying to talk to you for the last hour.

-Sorry, but...

-Young Gormless is the best marching drummer I know.

Do you know why? Cos he practises.

-The heart of a marching ensemble is the...

-Dad.

-Dad, calm down.

-..D-R-U-M-M-E-R!

By stopping him practising,

you're stopping our pursuit of excellence,

and do you know what that means?

-Does he have an off button?

-Excuse me.

Still enjoying it, are we, Lou?

Yes.

No. I'm trying to cover Noel and triage

cos everyone's up to their necks...

And a wonderful job you are doing of it.

What? No, no, no, really. This is all very...

-Hello. Excuse me.

-Just saying...

I thought I'd lost you.

-Are you all right?

-This is amazing.

Is he going to die?

I really think you need a cuppa or something.

He's not, is he?

No. No, I don't think so.

Sister Duffy.

Yes.

Interpreter incoming. Thanks, Morna.

I only said yes to them because I honestly thought

an asteroid would have wiped out humanity by now.

Still the cockeyed optimist.

THEY LAUGH

But far, far too sexy a bedside manner, in my opinion,

for the modern NHS.

You know how much I love the rustle of starch and nylons... SHE GIGGLES

I don't want to go. I don't want to go home.

Oh, Rose, darling, sorry. It won't be long now.

Why hasn't someone moved Rose?

I've been trying social services,

but they literally can't even get to the phone.

We thought we could get her a bed upstairs...

Look, leave it with me. I'll try again.

Girls, girls, could you just move out of the way? Thank you.

Sorry, Charlie, have you smelt her feet?

Her feet?

Yeah.

Rose, I'm just going to show Charlie, OK?

All right, I'm just going to take a little look at your feet, Rose.

-SHE MOANS

-Not to worry. Not to worry, darling.

It's all right. I'm not going to hurt you.

All right, that's it.

Good girl. Let me just take a little look.

Oh, yes, there we go.

Oh, that's so disgusting.

Well done, Rose. Well spotted, Max.

So we'll keep her here?

Yes, for the meantime.

Right, Rose, you rest easy and I'll get someone to attend to your feet.

Max, can you do me a huge favour?

Can you take our friends here,

and give them a bit of a guided tour or something?

A bit of a guided...?

That's designer! My mum'll kill you!

-Thanks.

-I am so sorry.

It stinks!

OK, Max, different favour, can you take my friend Diamond here

to the staff room, to my locker, where you will find a fresh shirt?

-I can't. I can't.

-Come on, let's get you cleaned up at least.

-Come on.

-I'm sorry.

-Unbelievable.

-I'm sorry...

Interpreter on the way.

All right, thanks, Charlie. Resus 2, please.

Right, top team, can you...?

When you've done this, can you sort out a cubicle for Rose

and let's start getting biblical with her feet?

I'm worried about him. He's only young.

Can you just please let me have a word with my nephew, Chrissie, yeah?

Nothing wrong with your airway, is there, Dougie? That's good.

-OK, can we get a line in now, please, Charlie?

-Yes, sure.

Mr Cox, I'm just going to feel your arms and legs now, OK?

You do smell quite strongly of petrol, why is that?

I work with second-hand cars.

-Right.

-You know, I'm always draining and filling them...

Dougie, the accident, do you remember what happened?

I just came off my bike, didn't I?

I hit the kerb, and the next thing I know I'm looking at the sky,

and all I can hear is Chrissie shouting.

Can you feel what I'm doing down here, Dougie, at all?

My head's like it's been thumped.

It sounds like you flew off that bike.

Yeah. Is it a bird, is it a plane...?

So what were you doing on the bike in the first place?

I was just having a look around, you know?

Yeah, you can get some really nice cars just being

flogged on the street, you know?

Yeah. OK, my friend's going to pop a line in your arm now.

You may just feel a little...a little sharp stab of discomfort, OK?

MACHINE BEEPS

There we go.

OK, let's skip the CT. Let's go straight to an MRI, then, please.

I'll do that, although earlier they were taking an eternity to answer.

OK, well, shall we get a portable X-ray down here?

That'll be a start, won't it?

Yeah.

Wait. Really, I'm... I'm all right.

Are we ever going to get through to MRI today?

Yes, I did one before. She's saying that she....

Diamond?

That man made me wear it.

Right. Why?

-I was sick on her.

-Oh.

I'm sorry, Diamond. I really didn't mean to.

-She shouldn't be here if she can't take it.

-Enough.

Come on, I've got to drop this off,

and then I'll find you a cup of something or...

I wasn't sick all over the place.

Everybody needs a break.

-Chloe?

-I'm OK, really.

Oh, sorry, sorry. I'm sorry...

Tea, biscuit, and then I'll find you a job or something...

Oh, Robyn, everything OK?

Yeah, it was just that poor woman worrying about her baby,

and all I could think about was Charlotte, Charlotte...

But she's OK, yeah?

Yeah, yeah, she's had her feed,

and she's now typically out for the count.

They don't warn you, do they?

You sprog out a little one,

and then you spend 90% of your waking life

just worrying about them.

And then they leave home. Do they call you?

Do they heck.

Why's she got Charlie's shirt on?

-Don't ask.

-OK.

This way.

I look like a prat.

Who would actually buy something like this?

I have no idea.

-Oh, Lily, could you give us a hand?

-Sorry?

Girls, who's got their phone?

You'd be amazed how many shots of my thumb I've....

Duffy, I don't have the time.

Oh, OK.

Chloe, you do it.

Well, you said you needed it for your coursework.

Over here.

Diamond, when you're a famous brain surgeon,

this will be in the great cybersphere for all eternity.

I'd smile if I were you.

-CAMERA CLICKS

-For your coursework.

Come on.

Diamond, I didn't mean to be sick.

Hey, these things happen.

Oh, just forget it.

Don't worry about it. She'll come round.

Uncle Dougie, what's happening? Is he all right?

Let's start CPR, then, please?

Girls, can I get some help over here, please?

Mind your backs, coming through.

How are you doing?

Excuse me, mind yourselves...

Ethan, I've got Chrissie, lippy 18-year-old,

came off a motorbike -

he was pillion with the spinal injury,

but now he's all "I'm fine, I've got better places to go."

Right, well, he's got a displaced Smith's fracture of the wrist,

so he might be walking but he's hardly fine.

He settled after some analgesia.

OK. We've done ships in the night, but who are you two?

Sorry. Diamond and Chloe, observing till 3:30.

Can we come with you to see your patient?

Tell you what, contribute to our France fundraiser, and you can

-be our special assistants.

-COINS RATTLE

Alicia, it's a busy ED, it's not a church fete.

Sorry.

Sorry, Ethan's a bit...

Anyway...

I didn't bring any money. My mum said, "You never know."

She's got the right idea.

Where are you from?

St Abigail's. We both are.

My nan pays from her savings.

You do know whose shirt you're wearing?

I'd get back to work if I was you, Doctor!

Emergency Department, Sister Duffy speaking.

OK, ladies, cubicle five with Dr Hardy and me,

or the full dramatic promise of the phone.

Oh, right.

Right.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Oh, yes, of course.

Yes, yeah.

OK, thanks.

Bye.

Everything OK, Duffy?

Yeah.

That was Wendy at Ambulance Control.

The Fire Services got the baby out,

and they tried, but...

she was certified dead at the scene.

Some days, this job, Jacob...

And of course Wendy wants us to tell Jez before it gets around.

I mean, he went in and got the mother out.

Duffy, the interpreter for the Korean mum's here.

She's in Reception.

-Thanks, Louise. Oh, erm...

-OK, what can I do?

Yeah, can you show Diamond and Chloe somewhere where they can get

-tea or something...

-We don't want any tea.

No - tea.

We're fine, honestly.

Young ladies, follow me, now.

PHONE RINGS

All right, ladies.

-Now, the biscuits are in here...

-What is this?

..and that vitamin drink is mine.

Clever clogs knows that cos he wrote his name on it, look.

Help yourself, ladies.

I'm OK, thank you.

Iain, where's Jez?

He's having a shower.

Have you got a moment to look after these two?

-Yeah.

-Cheers.

All right, I'm going to leave you with Iain, and understand this -

whatever he tells you, it's not true.

Right, girls, first rule of medicine -

what do you get if you cross a paramedic and a nurse?

Ladies, this won't be funny.

A doctor - without all the years of arsing around as a medical student.

-Maybe that IS funny...

-Hey, here he is.

You get a better shower here than at our place.

You're Jez.

Yeah.

-I'm so sorry.

-Diamond...

-Excuse me!

What's she talking about?

Jez, ambulance called again...

Chrissie! Chrissie, come here!

-Chrissie! Chrissie!

-PANICKED SHOUTING

Whoa, whoa...

Let go of me. Let go...

They killed my baby!

It wasn't my fault! You have to believe me, Sully.

It was Uncle Dougie's idea.

He said he just wanted to scare you, I swear.

Where is Dougie? Where is he? Is he in here?

Guys, I'm going to call Security unless this stops right now!

Uncle Dougie said she was down the shops with the baby.

I never meant... I didn't know she was going to be there!

Can everyone just calm down, please?

I never meant it! I never meant it!

Look, look, I think we need to have a chat.

There's nothing to talk about!

Look, your wife will want a word. Your wife.

No, I can't.

Come on.

-I can't.

-Come on...

Come on.

SULLY PANTS

I'm going to kill your uncle, Chrissie. I am!

Let's go. Come on.

Come on, let's get you sorted.

I was just doing what Uncle Dougie said.

I... I never meant anything by it.

Jez. Now, you listen to me, all right? You did everything you could.

But they said she was OK.

-This is not your fault.

-Then whose fault is it?

I should have thought about it.

-Hang on, where are you going?

-I've got to explain to her.

Jez, come here.

Duffy, is that the interpreter?

Just calm down.

But...

Can you please tell her that I never knew she had a baby?

That if I knew she had a baby I would have never...

I would have never...

-Let me just speak!

-This isn't the time!

-I would never have left her in there.

-I will, Jez, I promise.

I will. Now you... I think we should get Jez back to the station, Iain.

-I'm fine.

-Hey, look, you're driving yourself crazy.

-Report in and get some help. OK?

-I'm fine.

-Iain, please...

-Come on, come on, take five, take five. Jez...

I'm sorry, but...

-Duffy.

-Yes, excuse me.

Sully, this is Sister Duffy - she will be taking care of you.

Duffy, this is Sully, Sun-Mi's husband.

I...

I can't tell her. I just can't.

This lady is here to interpret.

Do you really want us to tell your wife?

She won't want me in there. I... It's just...

I think she will.

I really do.

Come on.

Sun-Mi...

I'm sorry, I just...

SUN-MI SOBS

SOBBING CONTINUES

SUN-MI: NO! No!

SHE SOBS

No!

JEZ SOBS

What did you think you were doing in there?

It's got nothing to do with you.

Are you still here?

Do you want to know what it's really like to work here?

-Yes.

-Yeah?

We've got a patient in Resus there that needs an urgent MRI scan,

and when I say urgent I don't mean in the sense of,

you know, some time before teatime, I mean urgent as in now.

Sorry, do you know what an MRI scan is?

-Yes.

-No, she doesn't.

OK, an MRI scan is a modern diagnostic tool.

Like many such tools, it enables we clinicians to get a much better

handle on our patients' conditions than our predecessors ever did.

That is, supposing you can get them in the scanner in the first place.

That is enough of that.

Of course, that shouldn't be a problem, should it,

in the normal run of things?

But when, you know, things stop working like this lift...

-Is it working yet? No?

-LIFT CHIMES

The lift's out of order, guv.

Yeah, you've tried unplugging it

and plugging it back in again, have you? Yeah? OK.

If the machine is oversubscribed, or if it's not working,

or if the operatives have decided to go on strike,

-then you're stuffed.

-I can't believe this.

Louise, Louise, these two young ladies are here to...

-They want my NHS number.

-Honestly, I don't know what they're here to do,

but if you'd mind showing-slash-instructing them

in the miracle that is your work as a general nurse...

Dylan, I'm actually running Reception as Noel today.

OK, then let's go upstairs and see if the MRI scanner's working,

or whether its very well-remunerated operatives have just taken a siesta.

And I'm talking to myself, which is never good.

-Max, Max...

-I know the lift's not working, again, Dr Keogh,

but this time we did get the trust to fetch

the engineers before it became critical,

-and if you want even better news, Rose has got a bed.

-Rose?

-Oh, whoop-dee-doo!

-One day at a time, eh?

Crikey. I don't think this shift's ever going to end.

I know what you mean.

I can't take this any more.

# Oh, when the saints go marching in... #

-NOW where's she going?

-Excuse me.

Are those sticks his personal property?

-They are.

-Right.

Well, this is an urgent medical intervention...

for our collective sanity.

-CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

-I'll buy you a new pair, OK? Sorry.

Wow, Lou, Reception's really bringing out the animal in you.

-Raaarrgh!

-Or the idiot.

-No, no, no...

-Nurse? Sorry.

-OK, I just need a couple of minutes...

Nurse, please...

I'm a doctor actually, but how can I help?

I had a call. They said my partner had been brought in.

Should we get that weight off your feet?

No, no, no, I'm fine. Dougie Cox.

Apparently the stupid man came off his motorbike or something,

with his nephew, Chrissie Cox.

He sells cars -

at least you'd think he'd know how to drive.

Do you want to take a seat? I'll find them for you.

OK, this way. Thanks.

Her husband must be the one in Resus.

-You total idiot...

-Sorry?

I wasn't sick all over YOU!

There's a bit of a wait at the moment,

someone'll be with you soon.

Lou, is the guy in Resus Dougie Cox?

Yeah, and there's a lynch mob out for him and his nephew.

Hey, are you all right?

Yeah, yeah, I've just...

I've just got to explain to her, that's all.

Maybe she just needs to grieve, Jez.

-OK?

-Yeah...

We need to insert the catheter.

Dougie, we're going to insert a catheter, OK?

No. No, no. No. No way. No.

My grandaddy had one of those,

and he's not been able to get through the night since.

-Dougie, you have a very serious injury.

-Mrs Beauchamp...

-We have to do everything we can.

-Mr Cox's wife is here.

-OK.

-She's nearly full-term.

A few more investigations to find out

-exactly what's going on with your neck, OK?

-Right.

Dougie, your wife's here. Shall I bring her through?

HE SIGHS

OK, look, just as soon as you me the OK, yeah,

could you just let me go down there and talk to her myself, yeah?

I don't want her to get her in too much stress, seeing me like this.

Why don't you just give me some crutches or a wheelchair?

Yeah, a motorised one, eh?

Hey, hey...

"Why the big paws?" said the grizzly bear, huh?

I'll go and speak to the wife.

-Where is she?

-She's waiting in Reception.

Just keep calm, Dougie, they've gone to get your wife now.

Why are the police here?

They suspect our patient, or his nephew,

were responsible for putting the petrol in Sun-Mi's house.

Why?

If you ask that too often round here,

you'll give up on the human race.

-Right, is that about here?

-Yes.

-OK.

I'm Mrs Beauchamp. I'm one of the doctors attending your husband.

Partner.

I'm not tying the knot with him until he's sorted out his business.

Is he all right?

Shall we go somewhere a little more private?

It's a bit noisy here.

Is it Chrissie? Has something happened to Chrissie?

Sorry, what's your name?

Is everything OK?

What's your name?

-It's Di.

-Di, OK.

There's the relatives' room round there.

Will you come with me? I've got this. Thanks, Alicia.

-How far gone are you?

-Eight months.

# Coming for to carry me home... #

What's she going to say to her?

She'll tell her the truth.

But she's pregnant.

# Coming for to carry me home... #

Ah, right, girls, we've got about 20 minutes left.

Dad? Dad?

Dr Chao, could you join me, please? It's Jerry, isn't it?

-How long has he been here?

-Lou, has this gentleman been triaged?

-Can we get a trolley, please?

-Do you remember me, Jerry?

It's Sister Duffin. we're going to help you.

-He's going to be all right, isn't he?

-Was he triaged?

Do you think you can help me now by lifting your arm?

-No notes?

-No.

OK, we're going to get you up onto this trolley, all right?

Easy does it. We've got all the time in the world. That's it.

Can we get some oxygen on him once he's on the bed?

-I want to go home.

-Yes. Oxygen going on.

Can you please tell me what's happening to him?

-Dad...

-Let's get him into Resus, please, guys.

Should I send the brass section home, Nurse?

OK, stay with me, Jerry, keep listening to me.

-Keep talking, that's it.

-Bay three.

We'll soon have you sorted.

Elle, there's some confusion if this gentleman was triaged on arrival

about an hour ago,

but we've all spoken to him and his reactions have been normal,

and then, what, a couple of minutes ago...

Developed a marked facial weakness and a dense left-side hemiparesis.

He's having difficulties lifting his arms

and his speech is slurred.

But we've got some movement in our right hand, haven't we, Jerry?

Jerry? Jerry, can you smile for me?

HE GROANS That's good.

Dr Chao is going to look you over, OK?

I'm just here, Jerry. I'm just here.

Open your mouth for me, please.

Looks like a big CVA.

Let's get some bloods off, venous gas and a 12 lead ECG.

Let's get him in CT ASAP, and I'll speak to the medics.

If this is ischaemic he's probably going to need some alteplase,

but they may want him in IR.

-Was he alone?

-His daughter - in Reception, I think.

Jacob, when you've got a minute, can you keep her up to date, please?

-I think Jerry would like that. Yeah.

-HE GROANS

Oh, and those two students, can you keep them out of trouble for us?

That could be harder.

Duffy, was he triaged?

I'm not sure.

Please, Doc, all I can see is the ceiling.

Joy of joys, I've got you a spot in MRI

in about ten minutes' time, OK?

Yeah, that's what we are doing.

Jez, mate, you need to let this go, buddy.

Jacob, why did you tell me the baby was OK?

Look, I just got a call they were coming in.

Look, Jez, we do what we can.

That's all.

Listen to me, bro.

Get back to work.

Stay with the "could have been" and "should have been",

and trust me, you will lose it.

All right?

Look, I know it's a suspected murder,

but I'm afraid Dougie Cox is not going anywhere any time soon.

-Sorry.

-All right.

-PHONE RINGS

-Jacob, I got confused.

I'm sorry. I thought that guy had been triaged.

I was just trying to help, but with Noel being sick...

No, no, no, listen, listen... None of this is your responsibility.

Yeah, but I thought it'd be like getting straight back on a bike,

but I'm swamped.

OK.

How long have we got you ladies for?

-15 minutes.

-I can stay all day.

OK, good, good. Come, come...

Lou, you know that serious problem that Noel has with his filing?

Problem?

"Jacob, I'm not really sleeping with all that filing.

"It's making me sick Jacob, mate."

It's probably why he's sick today,

and if he survives what he's got now and he comes back to work...

Oh...

THAT problem!

Mm-hm.

Chloe, Diamond. So, you take a card, you take it out...

-And you put them back.

-In the same place?

Exactly the same place, only better - tidy.

That's ridiculous.

Candice-Marie...

Is he all right?

Look, he's where he should be. Would you mind coming with me?

-Can we go and see him, please?

-My name is Jacob...

-What about my dad?

-I promise I will explain everything,

just please follow me. OK?

Take a seat.

-Nurse, could you get me some water, please?

-Yeah.

-Thank you.

Please, what's happening?

-ETHAN:

-Chrissie Cox...

He's got to have an operation on his wrist,

so I think it's probably better if I come and find you when he's done.

OK?

Chrissie, we're going to be getting you ready for your operation, OK?

The police?

Yes.

I ain't never been in trouble before.

Do they think I'm a murderer now?

Erm, you will need to tell them what happened.

Dougie and Mr Sully just go at each other day after day.

Dougie said, "Let's end this once and for all,"

but I never meant for...

Yeah, OK, just...

It's probably better if you don't, you know...

I won't be long.

Thanks.

Penny for them?

Sorry.

Sorry, Charlie.

I'm miles away. On another planet today.

Oh, hello, it's Dr Hardy calling from the ED.

Just ringing to check if you're ready for Chrissie Cox.

So I was right? I was right to bring him in?

I mean he wasn't having anything of it but he is, you know...

-The B-A-N-D-M-A-S-T...

-Candice-Marie.

Do you know what a stroke is?

Now, we're assessing just how poorly he is,

but the very good news is that he is here with us.

You see, the sooner we can get to a stroke patient, the better,

and a senior nurse was with him when it happened.

But he's my bandmaster.

I promise as soon as I hear anything,

you'll be the first to know, OK?

So please, try not to worry.

I know it's a lot to take in.

It may be difficult to see him like this,

but rest assured we're making him as comfortable as we can.

I can't. I hate hospitals.

I know, I understand, but it's important that you do this.

No.

I'll wait here.

Di, he needs to see you, OK.

You can reassure him.

All right, be prepared. I'll be with you.

OK.

Oh, what have you done, Dougie? What have you done?

Hey, is that you, Di?

I told them to take me to you as soon as I'm up and about.

It's OK. You're doing really well.

You just need to stand closer, so he can see you.

There she is.

Well, I'll say this, woman,

you're a lot more beautiful than that ceiling.

What have you done?

-Nothing serious, babe, don't worry about it.

-No.

What did you do to Sully?

Did you burn Sully and Sun-Mi's house?

What you talking about, babe?

Di, can you just hold my hand, Di, yeah? I-I'm frightened.

You killed their baby.

Just hold my hand, please, woman.

I AM holding your hand.

I'm scared! Di, Di.

Try not to move.

I WAS holding his hand!

Take nice deep breaths, you did really well.

You did really well, let's go and sit down - deep breaths.

Dougie, we've got you. It's OK.

SHE SPEAKS KOREAN

Don't say that. Please don't say that.

I'm so sorry to disturb you.

I was, erm...

I was...

I was the one who got your wife out of the fire.

SHE SPEAKS KOREAN

What's she saying?

She says she knows what you did.

I just wanted to say...

I guess - better if you go, son.

-OUTSIDE:

-Take it steady now.

Dougie! Dougie, I will break you!

-Whoa!

-Whoa!

You killed Stella. They were in the house!

Sun-Mi and Stella were in the house. What were you thinking?

He killed my baby!

You are a murderer, Dougie. A murderer!

I hope you rot in hell!

Sir, please! Please. It won't help.

That man and his idiot nephew just threw a bottle of petrol

through my front door.

Do you want to know why?

Because we were having a row, just the two of us,

about a forecourt.

We sell second-hand cars.

It's been going on for two years.

Every day, there is an argument.

He's crazy.

He's just crazy.

Yeah, well...

Every day he's going to have to think about what he's done.

But doing the same thing to him - killing him...

..it won't make what has happened to you any easier.

I'm sorry.

Yeah, copy that. Jez, we got a shout, mate.

Just a minute. Just a minute. Sir... Sir.

I just wanted to say sorry to your wife.

We never knew

that you had a baby.

Oh... Son,

we know what you did. Thanks. Really.

Er... You know how we met?

I was in South Korea with the boys.

Seoul.

Oh, I don't know. One day, something happened, I'd had enough,

so I got on a bus.

Went for miles.

And I got off the bus thinking, "Sully, what have you done?"

You know. It was a tiny wee village. There I was, lost, alone.

Still reeking of beer.

But, er...

But there SHE was.

Sun-Mi.

Just er...

walking with her grandma.

And we, er...

..we just smiled at each other.

I know it sounds like a cliche. But...

..it's not.

We'll bury Stella back in her village.

I think we'll probably move back there. It's, er...

It's a better life. Fresh start, you know?

Er...

Sun-Mi, she's, erm...

she's more resilient than you can imagine.

And...

Thanks.

Thank you. Thank you.

C'mon, kidda. Let's get back out there.

-Good?

-Yeah, yeah.

3006 to Control. Show us attending, over.

Found you.

What are you doing?

-Jacob said to sort these.

-Did he?

Is he going to be OK?

-Who?

-The man from the band.

Oh.

Well...he's on a long road. But yeah. I hope so.

-Oh, come on, you can leave these.

-What about the filing?

Oh, I'm sure Jacob won't mind if you do it later.

Oh, Duffy. Hi. Can I get one of us together?

Yeah. Good idea.

Oh... Diamond, that shirt isn't entirely terrible, you know.

Ready?

Smile...

-Do you want to have a look?

-Yeah.

-Sorry, Duffy.

-Oh...

Think nothing of it.

I saw how you were holding Jerry's hand, and...

and I could feel how he needed you.

Right. Oh...

I was tired and stressed when you and the girls asked for a picture.

Hey. It's nothing.

I'm sorry.

Thank you.

-So - have you decided?

-Decided?

Do you want to be a doctor, or do you want to be a nurse?

Definitely.

Oh. No, erm - I mean...

I definitely want to be a nurse.

Good. You're an inspiration, Sister Duffin.

And we all need a bit more of that, you know. Really.

Hey...

Diamond, whatever is the matter?

I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.

Oh, it's all right. Let's get some fresh air, shall we?

Nothing like the car park of Holby City

for putting the world to rights.

That's better. Chloe, are you going to come with us?

Yeah.

Doesn't it drive you crazy?

Yeah. Sometimes.

Sorry... Coming through.

Out the way, please, out the way. Thank you.

Right. What have you got?

This is Luke Sumers, aged 35. Construction site worker.

14:35 he was hit by a dumper truck...

-DIAMOND:

-I really want to be a nurse.

I just don't know how you do it.

..Both legs were then run over by the rear wheels.

-DUFFY:

-Do you want the truth?

Sometimes, when I come off shift, all I want is to run a hot bath.

But often as not, I end up fast asleep, fully dressed, on the sofa.

CHARLIE: There's a large scalp laceration...

But, sometimes...

just sometimes,

we know we're the last thing between something disastrous

and something hopeful.

-CONNIE:

-On three. One, two, three...

Just sometimes, we make a difference.

That's why we come to work. That's what this place is all about.

Feeling better, Diamond?

Yeah. Better now.

-Better.

-Good. Good.

DYLAN: I think we're losing output. Let's start CPR then, please.

-CONNIE:

-Right, bed going down...
