Episode 2 Casualty

-There's a baby in the house!

-EXPLOSION

I just wanted to say sorry to your wife. I never knew you had a baby.

How do you do it? Does it ever get you down, at all?

HE SPLUTTERS

Time of death, 17:42.

There's nothing else I can do, but you can.

-You think this is what these people need to see?

-Dylan, she's bled out.

Where are we going?

You're coming with me.

MELANCHOLY MUSIC

-The girl's brother?

-Yeah.

We do what we can.

But sometimes we want to do more, eh?

I'm just a doctor, I know my limitations...

We had a medic in Calais.

Tried to take two of the children back with him.

-What? To England?

-Hm.

With a housing crisis and a crumbling NHS,

it's not the warmest of welcomes for refugees, is it?

-I think your colleague was probably insane.

-Hm...

Unfortunately for him, the courts do not believe he was.

So, you going into work today?

I want to, but, er...

I'm still not 100%, so...

OK.

Well, I'll be back later. We'll put on a movie or something, yeah?

-Mm-hm.

-Your choice. Within reason, though.

Have a good day.

I'll see you later.

BABY CRIES IN BACKGROUND

I'm going to the shop, do you want anything?

Er, no, thanks.

-We're out of milk. Unless you want to fill us up?

-Eew!

BABY CRIES IN BACKGROUND

It's just a bad case of tonsillitis, it is very easily

spread in close quarters like this.

Um, I've given her some pain relief.

You can take this one away with you, all right?

If it gets any worse, come back and I'll give you some antibiotics.

All right? But in any event, I'll come and find you tomorrow

and make sure that she's feeling a little bit better. OK?

-Thank you, Doctor.

-No, no. Quite all right.

You, little lady...

Shall we put some music on?

SHE GASPS

Let's see what rubbish Uncle Max is listening to these days.

GLASS SMASHES

ROBYN SCREAMS AND BABY CRIES

Jez!

-Jez! Help!

-SMOKE ALARM

-Robyn?!

-I can't get out! Help!

Jez!

Robyn!

ROBYN CHOKES

Robyn! Robyn!

Robyn! Can you hear me?!

Jez!

-What happened?

-I don't know!

I was upstairs and I just heard the window smash.

I'm going in.

-Robyn!

-JEZ STRAINS

Right, er, grab a jacket!

-OK.

-Open it up.

-One, two, three.

-Go!

-Robyn?!

-ROBYN COUGHS

I'm here.

Get Charlotte out.

CHARLOTTE CRIES

Jez! Get her out!

Just give her to me.

OK, let's go.

Yeah, come on. Come on.

COUGHING

Let me see her.

Why isn't she crying?

Why isn't she crying?

-Is she breathing?

-Jez?

-I don't know, I can't hear.

-She's breathing.

-What happened? Jez?

Somebody threw a burning bottle through the window.

Let me guess, you thought you'd play fireman again, did you?

She was in the house for two or three minutes.

Airway's clear, no signs of any burns.

Let Iain get her to the ambulance, give her a proper assess, OK?

-Yeah, come on.

-She doesn't need to be assessed. She's fine, she's breathing on her own.

Yes, but we don't know what she's breathed in, do we? Give her here.

It's OK, Mummy's here.

Dr Dylan, when we get to England, can we...?

Hey, keep your voice down, keep your voice down.

When we get there, can we go to one of those windows

where you can order hamburgers right from the car?

-What are they called, those places?

-Drive-thru.

Yes, drive-thru! And ketchup, Mariam told me about them.

She's always wanted to go to one. So, can maybe me and you do it?

-Maybe.

-Please, Dr Dylan?

And when I get to your house, will I have my own bedroom?

Because me and Mariam always had to share.

All right, OK. Um...

Look...

I can't do this, Sanosi.

I don't even have a house, I live on a boat. You know...

But you said.

-Yeah, I know, I know, but I wasn't thinking....

-But you said!

What we are...

What we are proposing is a very, very serious crime.

OK? I could lose my job.

-If they find you, I could go to jail.

-They won't...

No!

Sanosi, the answer is no.

All right, this is five-month-old Charlotte Miller,

involved in a house fire,

she was trapped for no more than three minutes

and initially assessed by Jez at the scene.

-Airway seems clear, GCS, 15.

-Resus Two.

-Thank you.

Chest is clear bilaterally, there was no signs of stridor.

Initial sats of 92, but maintaining at 98% on ten litres of O2.

Central cap refill, less than two seconds.

This is Robyn Miller, 25, trapped for the same amount of time.

She's got partial thickness burns to her arms and hands,

but she's refusing treatment.

That's because I'm fine.

Can you please just worry about my baby?

Robyn, she's our priority, OK?

But we need to get you checked over, as well.

All right, sweetheart. OK.

Right, airway's clear, no sign of airway burns.

Let's have a chest X-ray and capillary gas, please. Ethan.

Ethan.

-Capillary gas.

-Yeah. Sorry.

Did you see who did this, Robyn?

No, it just all happened so fast...

Why would anybody want to hurt a baby?

Robyn, let me take a listen to your chest and dress those burns.

No, I'm not leaving her.

Go over there, just over there in the corner. All right?

OK. She's all yours.

CHARLOTTE CRIES

How's she doing?

Yeah, she's fine.

Listen, er...

I apologise for having a go at you. You did good, getting her out.

I didn't.

Max did.

Well, yeah, but you went in.

Yeah, but...

-I don't know what happened, I...

-OK.

-I just bottled it.

You need to stop being yourself up about what happened with Stella.

It's got nothing to do with that!

-So why haven't you been at work, then?

-I've been ill!

INDISTINCT VOICES ON POLICE RADIO

All right, boys.

They want to speak to you, too.

But I don't know anything.

Yeah, but you were in the house.

Jez, can you think of anybody that might have got it in for you?

MUSIC PLAYS

Hey, children. I have something for you. Come.

Only one each.

Hey! Stop!

Show the women some respect.

Stop, stop, stop...

That's enough, that's enough, calm down!

-That's enough!

-There's no need to fight, OK?

Can we calm down? There are children here!

That's enough!

Anyone hurt?

OK? You all right?

Sanosi, you OK?

Don't act like you care.

Hey, wait. Wait.

Here, for you.

Next time, you come to me, OK?

Tomorrow, more food. Yes?

DISTANT SIREN

Hey, hey... How's Charlotte, is she OK?

We don't know yet. We're waiting on X-rays.

Did you see anyone hanging outside the house this morning?

No, course not.

Like who?

Come on, Mickey.

Someone that hates me?

You think my mum did this?

It makes sense.

No. No, she's not happy we're together, I know that,

but she wouldn't go that far.

Well, whoever did it waited for you and Max to leave.

They knew I was still in there.

Right, we should phone the police.

-No, please. Don't, not yet.

-You're joking, aren't you?

They're looking for any excuse to arrest her.

Just give me a chance to prove she had nothing to do with it.

Please.

And how do we do that?

-Lily?

-Mm-hm?

You dropped this.

Oh, thank you, it's a...

So, are you sure I won't get into trouble for this?

Not if you don't actually lie, no.

All right, er, what's her number?

It's cruel.

If I'm wrong, I apologise.

DIALLING TONE

-Hello, is that Mrs Ellison?

-INDISTINCT TELEPHONE VOICE

This is Noel Garcia from the Holby City Emergency Department.

It's about your son, Mickey.

INDISTINCT VOICE

Hi.

Are you looking for help?

I'm Alicia. What's your name?

Hadia.

Can I help you with something, Hadia? I'm a doctor.

I have blood.

THEY SPEAK IN NATIVE LANGUAGE

Sorry, sorry, can you leave her alone, please?

Sayid! Let me clean up those cuts.

SAYID SPEAKS IN NATIVE LANGUAGE

Please.

OK.

Who was that?

Bad man.

Sorry, you said you were bleeding? Are you hurt?

Oh, er, pregnant?

Oh, so, you just need some, er, sanitary products.

Do they not provide you?

No. Of course they don't.

Erm...

Mrs Ellison, thanks for coming in.

Where's Mickey? Is he all right?

I'm afraid not, no.

He's suffered some very serious injuries.

What do you mean? What's happened?

He got trapped in a house fire.

How is Ethan today?

Yeah, I'm keeping an eye on him.

I don't understand.

How did it happen?

Well, we're not too sure yet.

He left for an interview, forgot his phone and came back.

-No, but I...

-No?

-Doesn't matter, I need to see him.

-Why are you saying no?

Just get out my way.

But how do you know if he came back or not?

I don't have to explain anything to you.

Then explain it to me, Mum.

Ethan...

About the invitation you saw earlier...

It's to my cousin's wedding.

Normally, I go to such events on my own,

but I am just so sick and tired of my aunts grilling me

on my relationship status, or the...ever-louder ticking

of my biological clock.

Er, right.

As I've been allocated a plus-one,

I was wondering if you could pose as my date.

It's next Saturday.

Er, yeah, sure.

Thanks.

How could you let them scare me like that?

Because it was the only way to get you here.

And I had to hear it for myself.

Hear what? I never said anything.

-Come off it, Mum.

-Mickey, I don't know what you're talking about.

A mother and her baby nearly died.

I don't believe a word they say.

A five-month-old baby was in the house, Mum.

Robyn's little girl.

You...you can't pin that on me.

I don't know anything about that fire.

Right, this is pointless. I'm going to get the police.

Don't look at me like that, Mickey.

Let's just go home, eh?

Come on, you and me.

I had a home.

And you destroyed it.

The least you can do is tell me why.

OK.

Thank you. Right...

I need you to hold that firmly. OK?

Oh, Hadia?

Keep that pressure on.

Now you have to hold it hard...

Dylan, can you have a word and get him to stop doing that, please?

Yeah, of course. Um...

Sanosi, sorry, would you mind doing that elsewhere?

Thank you.

Sorry, er... What was all that about?

What's it about? It's probably about him

having to watch his sister die, David.

I don't know, why don't you ask him?

Hadia's scared of him.

I think he's dangerous.

Quite possibly.

I've seen women with signs of rape here. Children, too.

Well, do you know anything about him?

He's from Morocco,

which makes him a migrant, not a refugee.

Hadia's Syrian, so I don't know why he's interested.

But they were both part of the group that tried to cross the other day.

What, the boat that sank?

Hadia's husband and baby both drowned.

That's so sad.

-Emile?

-Yeah?

-You know the supplies that get sent?

-Yeah?

Do people ever donate, er, sanitary products?

Mm. Not really often.

But the women can buy such things in the shop, no?

Yeah, what if they can't afford them?

I mean, it's a pretty basic human right.

I quite agree, but it's not up to me what people donate.

I wish it was, I really wish.

I'm sorry.

You know what? My family runs a small hotel.

I can ask my uncle to part with a few boxes.

OK.

Perhaps I can persuade him to make it like a regular donation.

Would that satisfy you?

It would. Thank you.

Don't thank me yet, my uncle isn't so nice.

Oh, look at you!

You're looking so big.

Mm? How are you?

INDISTINCT VOICE Yes?

MELANCHOLY MUSIC

How's Robyn and the baby?

They're keeping them in overnight.

I've booked us all a B&B.

We can't go in yet, it's not safe.

There's a...

There's a warrant out for your mum's arrest.

You know...

Even now, there's still a part of me that thinks she didn't do it.

I was the same with my dad and Scott.

It's hard to believe. I know.

Yeah...

Is it all right?

It's about the only thing that is.

-Downstairs, anyway.

-Max, I'm so sorry.

They'll fix it. It'll be fine.

Yeah.

Do you ever want to just go?

What do you mean?

Start over? Somewhere else?

It's been a rough day. Come on, let's get a drink.

-What are you so scared of?

-Nothing.

You've been hiding in your room for days.

I've been ill.

Why won't people believe me?

Jez...

I'm asking you to come away with me.

Please.

I need it and so do you.

There's just too many things...

I can't just get up and leave.

I can't.

I'm sorry.

Come on, let's get a drink.

Hadia.

Come. Come here.

Hey, Hadia, we agreed yesterday,

no more queue for you, yes?

Et voila.

With some extra fruit thrown in.

Bon appetit.

Hi. Do you speak English?

OK, Hadia, she doesn't need you creeping around.

She's been through enough, OK?

OK.

Good.

Dr Alicia!

I forgot, I have a very, very strange gift for you.

Stay here, I come back.

You'll let me know if she turns up, will you? Yeah? OK.

Oh, Sanosi, Sanosi, um...

I've a little news about Mariam. Erm...

The police have still got her, er, um...

They're going to bury her nearby. OK? In a cemetery.

Um...

I've just been to check up on a woman, um, Fida,

and her two-year-old, who had a bad case of tonsillitis yesterday.

Now, um, Fida's gone, overnight,

and the little one's being looked after by strangers.

Now, the woman I met yesterday wouldn't just abandon her child,

we need to report her missing.

There's no point.

I beg your pardon?

People come and go.

The police rarely investigate, even when children disappear.

HE SIGHS

Well, what's the point of any of this, then?

Why are we bothering to treat people if we can't even keep them safe?

Don't follow me, David. I'm going home.

Dylan.

I should've gone for the rabbit.

For the last time, it had goggly eyes,

it would've freaked her out.

Hey, what are you doing?

What are you doing here?

-I never meant to hurt anyone.

-Does that include me?

What did I ever do that was so bad, except love your son, Denise?

He's not yours to love.

You don't get to decide that.

You're the one.

-You're the one who's changed him.

-No, I didn't.

He was always a good person, despite what he was taught.

I'm not listening to this.

You know he wants to leave the country because of you, right?

Because of the shame of it all.

You can't let him.

He's all I've got.

Then make it right.

He loves you, Denise, but he's not proud of you.

You've never given him reason to be.

Nice one, Alicia.

Yeah, pretty pleased with that.

So you just plan to hand these out to anyone who asks for them?

Yes, whoever can't afford them.

And do you think anyone is going to want to pay for them

if they can get them for free?

Cameron, you've been here a long time, we get it.

Maybe it's been too long?

Where are you going?

There's a ferry leaving in an hour. I am going to be on that, OK?

We're all leaving tonight.

You can't wait a few hours to drive back with us?

No, I can't, I'll see you back in Holby,

I really have had enough of this place.

Thanks for the team spirit, Dylan.

David... No, no, no. What are you doing? Please, will you get out?

No, I'm coming with you.

No, I've asked you not to follow me, David.

No, no, no, quite right. You said I'm not to follow you.

I'm not following you, I'm coming with you.

David, I'm not joking. Get out of the car.

No.

I am not going anywhere until you get out. I mean it.

Well, then, I guess we're going nowhere, then.

Hey. I'm glad you called.

They let me into the house so I can get some of our stuff.

Mickey...

Listen, can we talk?

Don't.

I haven't got long.

I've...

I've told them everything.

I just want you to know that I'm sorry.

And that I love you.

And I will always love you. You do know that, don't you?

Even now?

Even now.

It's just along here.

Come, it's OK. Come.

Do you want a hotel job? Yes? Work?

You want work?

Work. Please.

Yes, work! Come.

Hadia!

No, no, no, it's OK, it's OK. Don't worry.

OK, you ready? Put your seat belt on.

I know how hard that must have been for you.

But at least we...

You know, we can get back to normal.

No, I told you, I'm done with this place.

I'm off, Jez.

What are you talking about now?

Some of my friends are backpacking in Southeast Asia.

If I leave tonight I can catch them before they move on.

You can still come with me.

Your passport's in there.

We could wake up tomorrow to a whole different life.

I thought we had something.

We do.

But you'd rather stick around here feeling guilty.

That's not true! And I don't want you to go.

But you can't let anything go, though, can you?

Tell everyone I said goodbye.

Hey!

Hey! He's taken...

-He took Hadia.

-What?!

-Who's...who's taken her?

-The Frenchman, Emile!

He took her, he put her in his van. I tried to stop him.

That's ridiculous. Why would Emile take Hadia anywhere?

He's a bad man. He's a very bad man.

-What do you mean?

-Said, if you've done something to her...

I protect her! I don't do nothing to her.

Let me take a look at you.

No. I think he has taken other women.

He was talking to other women, alone.

-So you actually saw him take Hadia in his van?

-Yes.

-You've no idea where?

-No.

They went up to the dirt road.

Emile did tell me he and his family run a hotel.

There's thousands of hotels in Northern France.

Yeah, look. Hotel Delassant.

There's the address.

Come, this way. Just here.

Sorry for the mess. We're painting.

-Voila.

-No, please.

-Go, go, go, it's OK.

Please. No!

No! Please!

Hadia?

So what do you reckon, then, Jez? Spare room's a bit of a tip.

But I tell you what, I'll put some boyband posters up for you,

make you both feel at home.

No?

Well, go on, then. I'll sort this.

They discharged her already?

Yeah. Her X-rays were all clear,

sats all normal, blood gases all good.

You're a little fighter, aren't you?

Jez, we're all alive.

You can smile, you know.

Yeah, I know. I'm very thankful, believe me.

It's just...me and Mickey broke up.

I think that this is just something Mickey has to do.

And what about you?

What have you got to do that's worth losing him for?

CHARLOTTE COUGHS

Don't worry. They said she'd cough a bit because of the smoke.

No, something's wrong. Her airway's blocked.

Jez, Jez, Jez.

Jez, wait.

Charlotte... Charlotte!

-She's cyanotic.

-What's happening?

She can't breathe.

-What?

-She can't breathe. Come on.

Right, get me suction.

Suction.

Come on. Please.

CHARLOTTE CRIES

Sats are 100%.

So, why the early departure?

Well, you know, David, there's only so much you can witness, isn't there?

Are you all right?

Yeah, absolutely. I've just had a holiday from hell.

I think humanity must have regressed

about 2,000 years in that place.

So, yeah, no, no, I'm fine, absolutely perfect,

couldn't be better, really.

RUSTLING

Don't, David, don't.

Have you lost...? Have you lost your mind?!

Just face the front. Face the front, David.

Sanosi, stay still, please.

We could go to prison for this.

How could you be so stupid?

He's got family in the UK, David,

he can't stay in the camp, it isn't safe, is it?

It's not safe for anyone! You said so yourself.

You can't save everyone, Dylan!

I know what I said, David.

Bonjour. Identification.

What was your business here in France?

Volunteer work.

We're medics at a hospital in England.

Holby Hospital.

We've been asked to go back urgently.

Bonjour.

We're short-staffed, we are...

Yeah.

Step out of the vehicle, please. We need to search the back.

Right. I'll hold my hands up to this, David, OK?

No, you don't say another word, understood?

Open the doors, please.

Step back.

Look, OK, you can stop...

HE SHOUTS IN FRENCH

Could you please tell me why there is a man under this car?

Under the car?

Yes.

-Are you sure you're OK?

-I'm fine.

Why're you helping Hadia?

She told me you were a bad man.

Why would she say that?

I could have helped her husband and her child, but I didn't.

There were too many people on the boat.

I will help her now.

You all right?

Yes, Iainski, I'm good.

In fact, I'm more than good.

Charlotte's going to be OK, and now I am going to celebrate,

so, yeah, drinks on me.

How does Mickey feel about that? I heard about his mum.

-He's... He's gone.

-What do you mean he's gone?

He's already gone to the airport,

wants to find himself in some rainforest or something.

What, and you've just let him go?

I didn't let him go, it was his choice.

-What?

-You're an idiot.

Why am I?

Because you two are actually good for each other.

I might be straight, but I'm not stupid.

He asked me to go with him, twice.

I let him down, and now he's gone...

so, yeah, let's make that pint five or six.

And a couple of shots, shall we?

All right, if he asked you one more time, what would you say?

We patently don't know the guy.

I mean, how could we have known he was there?

I've never laid eyes on him.

The fact is he's probably crawled under the car here.

I mean, we can't be responsible for the security of this place, can we?

For the ports. That's your job, isn't it, to maintain security here?

Ignorance is no excuse.

It's your responsibility to check your vehicle.

Excusez-moi?

You wait here.

THEY TALK IN FRENCH

Right, my colleague says she recognises him.

He's been caught trying this a couple of times before.

Next time, be more careful.

Yes, yes, yes. Of course. Merci, monsieur.

We can go, can we, now?

Wait!

Lock these doors.

There's the van.

Now what?

Let's split up, I think. I'll go this way.

Hey! Alicia? What are you doing here?

I'm looking for Hadia.

Who?

You know who. From the camp.

And why would she be here? I mean, why?

Let me past, please.

Are you alone?

No. Cameron's here. And Louise, and Said.

Then I suggest you leave with them.

You have no business being here.

KNOCKING

-Help!

-Help us!

No!

No! Get off me!

Help!

Help!

Are you OK? Has he hurt you?

-Stop!

-You will have to try and kick it from the inside.

Stand clear!

You're OK. It's OK, you're safe now.

My little girl, Hana.

We're looking after her.

Shukraan, Said.

Shukraan!

Said?

Pulse is weak.

Asymmetrical breathing. Hyper-resonant on percussion.

Possible deviated trachea.

Resps 48.

It's a tension pneumothorax.

I'll call for an ambulance.

There's no time for that. We'll have to do something now or he'll die.

How? We don't have any equipment!

There's no signal. I'll try outside.

What are you going to do with that?

Improvise.

Maybe he's already gone through security.

Right, what flight's he on?

I don't know... Southeast Asia?

That helps.

Well, it looks like you're out of luck.

You can still talk to him, fly out later.

He's rejecting my calls, Iain.

I've blown it.

Well, we tried. Come on.

Let's go and get that pint.

Found these in the mini-bar.

Brilliant.

No, no, no, what are you doing?!

The aerial's sharp and hollow, it's perfect.

It's too thick. If you miss, you'll hit his intercostal artery.

-He'll bleed into his lung.

-Well, I won't miss, then.

OK, wait!

At least make an incision first.

Not bad.

Look, Jez.

Emile and his uncle have been arrested.

Said is OK?

He's still in the hospital, but he's doing well.

Look after yourself, Hadia.

Look me up if you get to the UK, yeah?

Thank you.

Bye.

Alicia.

I underestimated you.

Actually, I think I underestimated myself.

Goodbye, Cameron.

Look, you do amazing things here.

Just remember you're still human, yeah?

Bye.

You know, I've always tried to be a good doctor to impress other people.

And from now on, I'm going to do it for myself, and no-one else.

Good for you.

So, no more booze and no more men.

Are you serious? For how long?

A year. Starting from now.

You're my witness.

OK.

Hi, welcome to Ma's Smokehouse, can I take your order, please?

Um, yes, can I have two cheeseburgers, please?

-Some fries, large fries.

-Ketchup! Ketchup, Dr Dylan!

Ketchup, Dylan, ketchup.

An orange juice, please,

and ketchup, a lot of ketchup.

-Ketchup.

-Hey, who needs Nietzsche to feel alive

when you've got cheeseburgers?

Yeah, not me, I need money.

Oh, money!

Thank you.

Thank you very much indeed. There you go.

Is this everything you'd hoped it would be, Sanosi?

-Yes!

-OK, don't speak too soon, you haven't tasted it yet.

Well, that is a lot of ketchup. Thank you very much indeed.

Thank you. OK.

-Goodbye.

-See you tomorrow.

-Thank you.

Sorry I made you miss your flight.

We can book new ones.

We could have been arrested. We still could.

Because you're my friend.
