Episode 11 Casualty

-Sleep deprivation finally sent you loopy?

-Shut up!

Do you have feelings for her?

-What are you on about?

-Sam,

do you still have feelings for her?

You did that on purpose!

You can apply for whatever you want,

just don't feel like you can't tell me.

The research post.

You will be based in Hong Kong. You did know that?

There's something important I want to talk to you about.

# It must be love, love, love! #

All right, mate, it's a bit early for a drink, innit? David, David.

Perfect timing, mate.

You take party man in. Everything's on there.

I need to nab a coffee.

All right, Sinatra, come on, come on.

Excuse me, mate,

any chance of a coffee on tick? I've left my wallet at base.

Can't do that, sorry, mate.

What do you mean no?

Come on, you do credit, right? You know I'm good for it.

I'll get you a coffee.

Dr Chao, Dr Chao.

Give me a minute.

-Mr Grayling.

-I've got a meeting, but come and find me in an hour.

I want to make sure you're firing on all cylinders for the pitch today.

There's no need for concern. It will be word perfect.

No harm in dotting a few Is.

Oh, and just so you're aware,

there's a Mr Heng heading the selection panel.

He knew your father, apparently.

Knew him how?

No idea, but by all means, mine that particular relationship.

Now pay attention, Rashid.

Here's what my father said to me when I started work on my first day.

It's not my first day, just my first in A&E.

And I'll only be observing.

Number one rule - do not soil yourself.

-Mum?!

-As in, make a good impression.

Number two - Respect your peers.

Even if you hate them.

-Number three...

-How long was Grandad's talk?

You must've been well late for work.

Open the glove compartment.

Good luck gift for your favourite child?

Pop it in the window.

This is totally illegal. Where did you get this badge from?

Well, I know a woman who's housebound. She never uses it.

That's appalling.

This is disabled parking.

Which is why I'm using it.

Sorry, it's just, idiots always try and park here.

These people, eh?

Thanks for the lift, Mum.

Hey, give me a hug.

Let me guess. The new F1?

How can you tell?

You've got a terrified look and your pits are leaking.

Actually, there's no nerves here.

I can't wait to get stuck in. I'm ready for this.

TYRES SCREECH, HORN BLARES

-Oh, dear.

-What?

Bet you're not ready for that.

You gulped that down.

I have to meet a client.

Before you go...

Mutton or lamb?

Just don't say goat.

It's really pretty.

Hope so. Clint and I are going away for the weekend.

Things have grown a little staid lately.

I thought it was him, then I thought it was me.

Now I think it's both of us.

We need to get the va-va-voom back.

Time, time, time. I'd better run.

But, listen, you know - have fun.

This says we're going to have plenty of that.

-LAUGHS:

-You filthy devil!

Honestly, Lily, if anyone found this phone, I'd be arrested.

Can I take a few minutes off to see Mr Grayling, please?

Of course. What time's the presentation?

-Three.

-You nervous?

My father used to say anxiety is the route to failure.

Well, I'm sure if you need it, Iain will hold your hand.

Today's pitch is all that matters.

Is everything all right between you two?

My father also said emotion is the enemy of success.

My dad told me the Queen is really a lizard.

SHE LAUGHS

-Hey.

-That's Charlotte's christening all booked.

All I need now is a godfather.

-Hi. I'm the new F1.

-Hi.

Are you going to make me an offer I can't refuse?

-Sorry, what?

-That's from The Godfather.

Thank you. "Revenge is a dish..."

-BOTH: "Best served cold."

-There you go.

Nice to meet you.

I have no idea what you're talking about.

Hi, I'm Rashid Masum.

Yeah, I'm profoundly busy.

Benjamin Franks?

Hello again.

No? Benjamin Franks?

I'm not going to ask again.

I need to find Mrs Beauchamp.

You just did. Your mum nearly knocked her off her motor bike.

David, I've got to change, can you show...

-Rash, Dr Rashid Masum.

-..to Connie's office?

My pleasure. Staff Nurse David Hide.

Not Seek?

No, I'm a Buddhist.

HE LAUGHS

See what I did there? Yeah! Come on.

Clint?

Clint?

Where are you?

Clint?

Clint?

Clint!

Clint, pick up. I don't understand.

Please call me.

MOTOR REVS, GEARS GRIND

PHONE RINGS

PHONE RINGS

Sadie?

Clint's left me.

I don't know what to do.

OK, are you at the house?

Stay put.

I'll be right round.

No, I'm already in the car, I'll come to you.

CALL DISCONNECTS

-Rhonda?

-Sadie just called. She's coming here now.

-And you answered?

-I didn't know what else to do.

She sounded so upset...

I know it's tough...

..and I'm feeling it too, but this is happening.

We're happening, Rhonda.

She was going to take you away for the weekend.

I had to agree. It would've looked suspicious.

Tell me we're doing the right thing.

You love me, don't you?

Then we're doing the right thing.

# Each moment I wake up

# Every night

# Every day... #

I have our new F1 - Dr Rashid Masum.

Well, he appears to be invisible.

Don't believe everything you've heard.

HE CHUCKLES

Firstly, I must apologise about my mum's driving. Sorry.

SHE CHUCKLES

Well, thankfully, you're working here and not her.

You need to find Dr Chao, she's going to be your mentor.

-Sorry, Dr...?

-Don't worry, I'll take you. Come on.

I haven't finished.

Now, I won't lie to you,

working here is going to be tough,

it's a tough department, it will demand everything from you.

But hopefully the things you learn

will make you into the doctor you want to be.

Welcome to Holby. I've finished now.

# I never thought I'd love you

# Quite as much

# As I do... #

OK. There's a break. Clean him up and get some pain relief, please.

OK. And then you can be on your way.

-I told you to come and look for me.

-I've been with patients all morning.

-I want this pitch to go perfectly.

-Yes. And it will.

-Dr Chao, this is Rashid...

-Masum.

-Masum, exactly, yes.

I'm the new F1, and I believe

you're going to have the pleasure of mentoring me.

I have a meeting. There's a patient in Cubicle 3 -

observe, record, return with your thoughts.

Some of the women working here, they're pretty...brusque.

Mm. I know.

But I quite like that.

All I can see is Sadie

holding up this silk lingerie.

Rhonda, we've been over this.

What could any wife possibly get

from a husband who no longer wants to be with her?

-She's my best friend.

-I know.

She was mine as too.

So how's your French coming along?

-FRENCH ACCENT:

-Nothing is going to stop us.

SHE GIGGLES

Come on.

-What do you think?

-Of?

-The new F1.

I give him a month.

I mean totty-wise.

I think I'm going to give him an eight out of ten.

Nine if he's got a thing for redheads with kids.

-So I've observed the patient.

-Congratulations.

What I mean is that's all I've done.

He won't tell me what caused his injury.

OK, then tell me what you do know.

His name's Roland Polly, 73 years old.

He came in with what look like burns to his chest.

-Hi, Mr Polly, this is Dr...

-Chao.

Dr Chao.

What happened?

I have no idea. Honestly.

So you're telling me these burns just appeared?

Yes. Yes, they did.

We can't keep you in this cubicle indefinitely.

And if you can't tell me what happened, I can't treat you.

Dr Chao, with me, please.

Paramedics have called in an RTC difficult extraction.

I'd like you to attend. Watch and listen.

Should be educational.

Message received.

-Excuse me?

-Sorry, it's just...

-Sorry.

-Strange boy.

SIRENS WAIL

-You good?

-Yeah, all good.

OK, does that feel all right?

OK, Rhonda, I'm going to get you some pain relief, OK?

And then we'll get you out of here. Bear with me.

Hi, my name's Sam. I'm a paramedic.

Do you remember what happened?

Don't nod or shake your head - just yeses and nos.

How are they?

-WHISPERS:

-The people in the other car.

Nice and still for me. Just answer yes or no.

That's my husband...

-WHISPERS:

-..with my best friend.

I'm sorry, but just yeses and nos for me, OK?

Yes.

For what it's worth,

playing the drums isn't meant to be that dangerous.

Dylan...here. You look dreadful.

Do I? Thank you very much.

Sorry, it's just...you know.

-Come on, Louise, what is it that you want to know?

-Everything.

Sanosi is no longer part of my life.

There - I think that can end your quest for information.

Where did he go?

To a new life, one that I can't possibly imagine,

so there's no point in even speculating.

I tried my best. And I failed.

You're here to learn, am I clear? And don't salute.

Back in a second.

-I thought you had a pitch to give.

-I tried to tell you.

-Right, do you want the handover or not?

-Please.

The driver, er, he's fine, barely a scratch on him,

but the woman, Rhonda Washbrook, 42.

front passenger entrapment, hit side-on at approximately 40mph, OK?

Her ABCs are fine,

but she's got a nasty-looking open fracture to her left femur

and pains in her pelvis, OK?

No other obvious injuries but she has taken quite an impact.

OK, I've got a line in. She just needs some pain relief.

-Right, out of my way.

-Are you going to reduce the fracture?

I'm going to have a look first.

10 of ketamine, please.

Hi, Rhonda, I'm Dr Chao. We're going to get you out

and I will have a proper look at you then, OK?

This is going to help with the pain

but it's still going to be uncomfortable when we move you.

Can we get a pelvic binder

and a femoral traction splint ready for me?

Dr Chao, can you have a look?

Iain, can you stay with her, please?

Yeah, we're not going anywhere.

My patient has sustained a potential full thickness head lac.

And, er, just a heads-up - the man in the ambulance is her husband.

You think she saw her with the other woman?

The green-eyed monster lives and breathes.

Sam.

I'm sorry for what I did.

-It's forgotten.

-Are you sure?

Yeah.

Just watch out for any low-flying chips.

Hey, wait up!

Argh! Oh!

Iain! Are you OK?

Yeah, fine.

-You go and sit in the car.

-I'm sorry...

-Car!

I have a patient to attend to.

Hi, my name is Dr Chao. Can you tell me if you feel any pain anywhere?

OK, deep breaths for me.

MOBILE RINGS

Hi, Mum.

Yeah, yeah.

It's going great.

They love me.

Dr Chao, I need you over here now, please.

Stay with her, yeah?

-RHONDA SOBS

-Rhonda, just try and relax for me, OK?

We're going to make you as comfortable as possible, OK?

Just pull the femur out to length. Are you OK?

Yeah.

Ready? One, two, three.

SHE CRIES OUT

Let's get the traction splint on.

You're doing really well.

Duffy, this is Rhonda Washbrook, 42.

At approximately 11am she was the front-seat passenger in a two-car RTC

and was hit side-on at 40mph.

Tachy - 112, BP good - 126/74...

-This is Sadie Holm, 47 years old...

-..GCS 15 throughout.

..she was involved in a two-car RTC...

She was fully immobilised at scene with a pelvic splint, 30 minutes.

She's sustained a full-thickness laceration

and she has left lateral neck pain.

She had 1 gram of IV paracetamol

but she's refused C-spine immobilisation.

Where's Clint? I want him here.

Bear with us just now.

-Can we cross-match for four units, please?

-I'll put another line in.

Someone needs to look at your arm.

It's fine, it's fine. I'll live.

Let's get her ready, please.

She's going to need a traumagram and I'm going to be speaking to CT.

Somebody get me out of here. I can't be in here.

You mustn't move, all right?

No, no, this is her fault. She's caused this!

-Stay nice and calm for me.

-Clint?

You really need to stay still, OK?

-How is she?

-Clint?

Oh, thank goodness!

-OK, I'm here, I'm here.

-Excuse me.

Just stay back.

I'm just going to listen to your chest, OK?

Just lie back.

Iain, you all right?

Word of advice - stay away from that new F1.

-What, he did that?

-As if we don't have enough accidents to deal with.

He always seemed very pleasant to me.

Well, he might be, but he's a flaming liability.

Right, Iain, let's have a little chat.

Apologies.

Mr Polly is waiting.

He's still here?

Er, yes. He hasn't been treated.

-Sorry, there was an emergency.

-I really need to be on my way.

Well, with all due respect, you're not actually helping make that happen, are you?

Well, just give me some gel or plasters.

It's not that straightforward. These are definitely burns, Mr Polly.

And we need to know exactly what type.

How many types are there?

There's burns from fire, there's sunburn, there's steam burns...

That's the one!

Tea. Hot tea. Boiling.

-Really?

-I spilled tea down myself.

Tea.

Will you please treat me now?

Thing is, it doesn't look like scalding,

and it's focused on the chest area rather than splashing everywhere.

Are you calling me a liar?

-Uh...

-Well?!

-Dr Masum.

-What?

Mrs Beauchamp would like a word with you.

Can we check if Sadie's wound's still bleeding?

Here we go. Easy does it.

So what happens now?

We will keep you in for observation for a bit, to rule out concussion.

I-I-I don't mean that.

Oh, erm, I presume the police will be called

and they'll want to talk to you.

It's all just a blur.

I saw them and then... I saw nothing - just...white.

Not red. Cos they say that, don't they? They say you see red.

But not me, I saw white.

Just...white.

Yes?

-CONNIE:

-Come.

You wanted to see me, Mrs Beauchamp?

Come in.

I want you to tell me exactly what happened with the paramedic.

The honest answer?

I barged Iain and he cut his wrist on a broken window.

You barged him?

I was...

And I know how this is going to sound...

I was excited, I just wanted to see.

If you can't take a clear and simple instruction

then you have no place in this ED.

-Maintaining control of the...

-Sorry, could you excuse me, please?

Right, you have two rib fractures

and you're going to need surgery on your open femur fracture.

But your pelvis looks fine.

This is insane.

There's more.

-What is it?

-There can't be worse.

It's of a more delicate matter.

I don't understand.

-Could we talk in private?

-It's fine.

We're together.

Very much so, yeah.

OK.

You're pregnant.

-What?!

-I have the results. I can show you.

I thought you were on the pill.

Well...

I am. I mean...

I was.

I didn't want to be on it, not really.

You didn't think to tell me?

Let's pop this back on, shall we?

VIOLENT VOMITING

Rash?

Rash, are you OK?

TOILET FLUSHES

Yeah, I'm great.

You know, I thought I'd be a natural.

I thought I'd walk in here and make everyone's day.

Ah, well, maybe that'll just take time.

No, it's too late. I've blown it already.

Look, if it's any consolation, I was much worse when I first started.

I couldn't even speak.

To anyone.

You see...

You see, I'm a man who takes, um, well...

..smaller steps than most.

But you know what?

I still get there.

I still, somehow or other, find a way to...get there in the end.

Rash...

..slow and steady wins the race.

Those results are definitely correct, then?

No room for doubt or human error?

None at all.

What do you give people for shock around here, then?

Tea with two sugars, and there's a cafe out there.

Lily, you're needed in cubicles.

-I'm not covering cubicles today.

-We need a doctor.

-Well, I have somewhere to be.

-I know, and that's cubicles.

I have a presentation!

Iain.

Thought you were busy making a name for yourself.

If that's how you're going to be...

Hang on, hang on, wait. I'm sorry.

It's not been the best of days.

Can I have a look?

Please do.

I'm going to have to clean the wound and assess the damage.

Would you like some pain relief?

Nah, you're all right, I'm a big boy.

-HE GASPS

-Ooh!

Is the big boy OK?

So you went for the pitch, then?

I honestly tried to tell you...

but you never seem to want to talk to me.

I know, I'm sorry.

I was just angry about the ketchup thing.

Which I've apologised for.

What did Sam say?

She brought me here, didn't she?

Trouble is, I'm now late meeting Mr Grayling.

I always knew that five-year plan would work out for you.

You remember I told you that?

I remember everything you tell me.

-WHISPERS:

-Liar.

You're going to need a few stitches but I think you'll live.

So what happens next, then?

If the pitch is successful?

Promotion?

A transfer.

What, from the ED?

Lucky you.

Out of the country.

The placement is in Hong Kong.

Hang on, for a second then I thought you said Hong Kong.

I'm so sorry, Mr Grayling's waiting.

Clint?

How could you do this to us?

I...

Please, Sadie, not now.

Everything's a jumble in my head. I-I don't know where I am.

What is it about her?

There's an old song...

I can't remember the title but there's a line in it...

"Everybody's looking for something."

I'm not.

Er, Mrs Holm, you can't just wander around like this.

Clint...

Look, Sadie, you're going to have to let it go

because I'm going to be a dad again, OK?

Look, we need to look after you.

Will you let us do that?

-Ow!

-What kind of fool are you?

I set it up so the two of you could make up.

Yeah, well, it's too late for that.

Why didn't you just grab her and say what needed to be said?

She's moving to Hong Kong. Satisfied?

Well, I don't blame her with the way you've been making her feel.

-She's hardly going to turn that down for me, is she?

-Well, you don't know that, do you?

You've been wrong about everything else so I don't see why you suddenly would be right about this.

Oh, thanks. Nice vote of confidence.

You can't let her go.

It's out of my hands.

You're better than this, Iain.

Come on! You like her, don't you?

-Yeah, suppose.

-You suppo... And she likes you.

Come on! We're not in a school playground.

I'm just saying it's not out of your hands.

Two words for you, mate.

Total. Idiot.

Mr Polly, I'm afraid we need this cubicle back.

I've told you - they're burns from hot tea.

Yes, hot tea. Unless you start telling us the truth

I'm afraid there's nothing more we can do for you.

Mr Polly, you want to get better.

I mean, that's why you came here.

So help us to help you.

You won't understand.

We're not here to judge, we're here to treat you.

So what is it you don't want to tell us?

It goes no further, I promise you.

Only, I think these are chemical burns.

You're spot-on.

They're from, er, hair removal cream.

I was trying to get rid of my ghastly chest hairs.

-I'll check the pH of the burns and irrigate the wound.

-OK, great.

Thank you. Our lips are sealed.

I promise you.

Lily!

What are you doing here? I'm about to go inside.

-Just hear me out.

-Iain, please, not now.

I want you to tell you...

..that I...really...

Yes?

I r-really like you.

I like you more than I ever thought possible.

You're telling me this now?

There's never been anybody in my life like you.

Ever.

Are you not going to say anything?

Dr Chao?

Moral support.

You won't need it. I had Heng eating out of my hand.

Now, get in there and nail this thing.

Later.

Please, come in.

So it's odds-on, then?

Oh, I'd say so.

Hello.

Dr Chao?

PHONE VIBRATES

You know, a lot of people burn themselves with chemicals, it's not uncommon.

But it's really not THAT embarrassing trying to get rid of body hair.

I have a date with a younger man.

I may have told him I was younger as well.

But when I looked down and saw all this horrible white hair...

-I get it now...

-I panicked.

I slathered it on and it started to burn, so I jumped in the shower,

rubbed soap in and it made it ten times worse.

-'Fraid it would do.

-Now there's no hiding it.

My date will ask me how I hurt myself, I will tell him, and he will think...

"You stupid old git."

Look, my mum...

once set me up on a date with the nicest girl you could imagine,

but I had a spot on the tip of my nose, it was more like a boil.

So the doctor in me thought I'd lance it and irrigate it.

My nose swelled up so much I could hardly see past it.

When I went to kiss the girl, I couldn't get anywhere near her lips.

-Delightful.

-But didn't put me off.

I just thought, could be worse.

And you lived happily ever after?

Absolutely!

Mr Polly, I'll be right back with a letter for your practice nurse.

Ah...that girl.

She never wanted to see you again, did she?

Nope. Not for one second.

-DOOR SHUTS

-Well?

I don't know.

What?

-I think I did all right.

-Think?

This is not the Lily Chao I know.

I lost my way, I...

..lost my focus.

Well, what did Heng say?

He didn't say anything. They just looked at me with blank faces, so...

This is not acceptable.

-Excuse me.

-I haven't finished!

It's not like I can go back in there and do it again!

There will be repercussions, I promise you.

You waited for me.

Yeah, well...

I need to know. Are you staying or going?

They have others to see...

but I didn't do my best.

And the way I see it, I don't think I am going anywhere.

I-I'm trying to feel bad for you, honest.

Always honest.

Excuse me, I don't think you should be in here.

Just one minute, please.

Does he love you?

I'm so sorry.

I want to ask so many questions, I want to hear it all.

But look what I've done to you.

Look what I've done to you.

What happened to us?

This is not how friends behave.

Here we are.

-I wish we weren't.

-But it's a bit late for that.

Clint told me you're pregnant.

You've seen him? Where is he?

Sadie, why is he not...here?

-Rhonda?

-Sadie...

Rhonda?

Can you help her, please?

-OK, OK...

-L-Look at her, do something!

I need some help. Anyone, please.

OK, Rhonda, let's get this back on.

I'm just going to listen to your chest.

But what if she does get posted to Hong Kong?

Nah, she wants me.

-Sure about that?

-Hang on, you were the one trying to push us together

and now you're telling me to be wary.

What is it with women and changing their mind?

As long as you're completely sure.

I am going to make this happen. You watch.

There's another hairline injury, it seemed innocuous.

Morphine isn't going to be enough.

-What do you mean?

-You could try a serratus anterior nerve block.

Good thinking. Ten out of ten.

Sats 93% and she's tachy.

OK, gloves, please.

Can I get an ultrasound, please,

-and can I have 20ml of 0.25% levobupivacaine?

-Yeah.

I'm going to inject a bolus to block the nerves.

-It's going to help.

-Can you call Clint?

We're not too sure where he's gone.

OK, Rhonda, we need you to roll over for us, OK? Nice and easy.

That's it.

-The path of true love...

-That's it.

What a mess!

Ultrasound, please.

You stay still for me.

I'm going to inject around a nerve into your chest wall.

It's going to feel like I'm going in very slowly

but it's a good thing so please bear with me.

Just stay still, stay still.

RHONDA CRIES

OK, nice and still.

Almost there.

OK, the pain should ease off now.

Hang on, her heart rate just sped up.

I thought you'd helped her?

Can you feel this?

My lips are tingling.

-The anaesthetic.

-Has gone into her bloodstream.

Must have been when she moved. OK, let's forget about the procedure.

Rhonda, I've been thinking... W-What's going on?

Just stay back for me, please.

Can I have 20% lipid emulsion 1.5ml per kilogram hourly infusion?

And can you fast-beep the on-call anaesthetist?

Yup.

OK, can I have this arm?

Doctor? Is there...? What about the baby?

-Meaning?

-Well, is there a chance she could lose it?

-It's going to be part of our follow-up check.

-But it that a possibility or...?

I said I'll know more when I know more.

Clint?

What were you saying?

Just checking everything's going to be OK. What did you think I was saying?

-Excuse me, could you give us some room, please?

-Yeah, sorry.

Er, look, I really do want this. Really.

Oh, Lily. How did the pitch go?

Bad, and then better... I'm not sure.

What?

That doesn't sound like the medic I've seen grow into a very fine doctor.

What happened?

I was distracted.

But it is what you want, though?

I don't think what I want matters any more.

If you have an opportunity, grab it with both hands.

Don't let someone else have your career.

And, er, when you've got a moment...

I'd like your thoughts on the new F1.

I can talk now.

He's, er, raw, obviously.

Excitable, nervous,

lacks confidence.

But what new F1 isn't?

People can - and they often do - surprise you.

It just takes them a little while to find a way.

Thank you, Dr Chao.

FEEDBACK FROM MIC

Ah, the Dark Lord Grayling is walking about with a face like thunder.

I may not be his favourite person right now.

And yet you are smiling.

I am?

Must be lurve!

It's similar to the smile I see every morning in the mirror.

-So you're in love.

-Well, it's in the air. As long as it lasts.

If it doesn't work out you still have your career.

Oh, Lily! Your career is what pays for the fun in between shifts.

I never looked at it like that.

Here's one of my sayings.

Happiness won't wait around for you. Grab it while you can.

Dr Chao. Do you have a moment?

This wasn't the deal.

I'm not here to judge, sir.

She wants something I don't. I've been a dad already.

This was meant to be something else.

I really need to, um... get back to work.

Hey! I heard you did all right in resus today.

-Thanks, er...?

-Alicia.

We're heading to the pub in a bit.

-I don't really drink.

-Yeah, me neither. See you there.

I know the pitch didn't go well for you.

I accept that and I don't expect to be going any further.

Indeed. Though what I saw was a very determined, very tenacious woman.

The wheels had come off but you kept on going.

I was terrible.

Your father possessed the same dogged qualities.

And when you stood there in front of us, I think I saw him, Dr Chao.

That's very kind of you, thank you.

He was also a very good reader of people.

So I would like you to take this research project on.

Excuse me?

How would you feel about leading this project?

But it's Mr Grayling's project.

Ah, Mr Grayling.

An intriguing man.

But not one any of us would wish to pursue anything with.

I don't need your answer now.

But it was nice seeing a glimpse of your father again.

So what do you think of the new rash Dr Rash?

How many times are you going to use that joke?

Anyway, Louise texted me. She's given him five out of ten.

Five?! I'd give him at least a six, six and a half,

and, well, with time and a fair wind that could change.

Dr Masum.

Are you coming to the pub?

Actually, my mum's going to pick me up.

It's your first day, you need to join in.

It's something I should have done on my first day.

Well, in that case, see you there...

Sadie?

I could phone someone. Jim Connors, he's a lawyer.

You've got other things to worry about.

Look, I'll tell the police that you were upset and you're not in your right mind.

-What about Rhonda?

-She's got what she really wants.

I don't want to be part of that.

What are you saying?

Whatever you want.

Cos now I truly know what matters.

I think I do, too.

I need to be there for my friend.

Because you won't be, will you?

Can I get you another?

-Are you trying to get me drunk?

-Oh, yes, it's a tradition.

-OK, yeah, sure. What about you?

-Don't drink. Another pint?

Oh, she's here.

MUSIC: It Must Be Love by Madness

# I never thought I'd feel this way

# The way I feel about you

# As soon as I wake up every night, every day

# I know that it's you I need to take my blues away

# It must be love, love, love

# It must be love, love, love

# Nothing more, nothing less Love is the... #

I don't sing out of tune for just anybody, you know.

I got the research post.

You're joking.

I thought you blew it.

I thought so, too.

So what now?

Honest answer, I don't know.

For the first time in my life I have no idea what to do.

How long have you got to decide?

Soon.

I could sing another song.

You can't move to Hong Kong.

Can you?

-WHISPERS:

-I don't know.

What if I ask you not to go?

-Don't...

-No wait, please, Lily.

Stay here. Be with me.

We'll be amazing together.

I'm so sorry.

I can't do this.

Lily.

No, no, wait. Wait, wait, wait.

Wait, stop.

There's got to be a way to make this work, right? There has to be.

I promise you I will be the best I can and I will make you so happy.

-WHISPERS:

-I know that.

But this can open so many doors.

I'm Lily Chao.

And I have to go.
