Episode 3 Casualty

-What's going on?

-He's my brother. He just...fell.

-Did he collapse

-or did he fall on the rocks?

-Can you hear me?

-OK. Let's do a BM, David.

PEOPLE CRY AND COUGH

You're coming with me.

I thought you were different, Iain.

But you're just as insecure as the next man.

Your intellect or lack thereof is not my responsibility

so shame on you.

As I have been allocated a plus one,

I was wondering if you could pose as my date.

Er, yes, sure.

Your brother, he was coming at me and he wouldn't back down.

Please, stop.

I never meant it.

MACHINE FLATLINES

Ethan, he's gone.

Today's the day.

I just let nature take its course...

..didn't I?

Whatever happens, at least it will finally be over.

I can maybe get some sleep.

OK.

Wish me luck.

OWL HOOTS

-WOMAN:

-I know you're here, vengeful spirit.

I can feel your presence all around me. Show yourself.

Why aren't you dressed?

They'll be here any minute.

Can I sit this one out?

I still feel a bit groggy from last week.

But I can't do it on my own.

We could just cancel.

And give everyone a refund?

You know the bank are breathing down my neck -

they will repossess the house.

Maybe it's time we start thinking about selling up.

This house has been in our family for generations. It's our home.

We can find a new home. One we can afford to heat.

METAL GATES CREAK

They're here.

Please, Mia, it won't work without you.

-You're such a natural performer.

-DOORBELL RINGS

Fine, fine.

Thank you.

Go on, then.

MIA SIGHS

Wow, Lily, that is gorgeous.

You planning on accessorising it with blood and vomit?

I'm going to my cousin's wedding after the shift.

You're driving to a wedding after a night shift?

-Rather you than me.

-Ethan is driving me.

Ethan is your plus one? That's nice.

You will make a very handsome couple.

A match made in heaven.

I couldn't agree more.

This house has been in my family since the 18th century

and stories of its supernatural activity have been

passed down through the generations.

CLASSICAL MUSIC PLAYS

This way.

My great, great grandmother Constance

and her young daughter, Rowena.

When Rowena's father died,

they were left all alone in this crumbling house.

Sounds familiar.

Desperate for company, Constance started an affair with Joseph,

a handsome, young servant.

But, as soon as the family found out about the affair, they forced

her to marry a rich nobleman and banished Joseph from the house.

Joseph was so devastated, he locked himself in this room.

And stabbed himself through the heart.

CAT MEOWS LOUDLY

I'm so sorry, he keeps doing that.

Since then, this room is said to be cursed.

Joseph's vengeful spirit has never left this room.

Today, we're going to cleanse it once and for all.

HE SHOUTS IN HIS SLEEP

All right?

OK, all right, it's fine, it's fine.

It's just a nightmare.

It's just a nightmare, OK?

Do you remember where you are?

You're on my boat.

I'm sorry... I think I...

Oh, OK. All right, never mind.

Never mind. Let's...let's get these off, then, shall we?

All right.

Yeah, don't worry. Don't worry. You stay where you are, that's fine.

We'll get you some dry things. And...

..and when it gets light, we'll...we'll carry on looking

for your uncle, all right?

But I don't even have his phone number.

Yeah, I know, we've been through this.

We'll sort it, all right?

-Hey. Morning.

-Morning. Thank you.

Have you heard anything on the Scott Ellisson inquest?

Not yet. I was hoping to find out before we leave for the wedding.

We are meeting later, right?

I'm really sorry, I told Mrs Beauchamp I could work today.

Is there anyone else who can take you?

It's fine.

It would have been nice of you to let me know.

Mrs Beauchamp. Any news on the inquest?

Yes, the coroner's come to a decision.

Accidental death secondary to a fall. OK?

That's it?

Well, there's some action plans to be put into place,

-but overall that's the best outcome we could have hoped for.

-Yup.

OK.

Thank you.

It's over.

I know you're here, vengeful spirit.

I can feel your presence all around me.

Show your face!

SHE MURMURS MYSTERIOUSLY

SHE SCREAMS

Are you all right?

SHE LAUGHS MANIACALLY

DISTORTED VOICE: I'll never leave this house.

I'll come for you in your sleep.

CREAKING, GLASS TINKLES

Leave her alone, I tell you! Leave her alone!

SHE SCREAMS

No!

-Oi.

-Help!

You all right?

-Oi.

-Help!

-Stop!

Yeah, police, please.

Oi!

What are you doing back at work?

You should be at home, resting.

Charlotte's with Duffy all day so I have no reason not to come in.

Not too soon?

Don't be like that. We have been looking after this one

and Charlotte for a week now and we decided it was time

to release her back into the wild.

Oh, wow!

And he's been cooking me amazing food. This roast was immense.

Yes, it was. Even if I say so myself.

How's it going living with Noel?

Yes, it's all right. I cooked him the Maximilian Special.

-What, and he ate it?

-He loved it.

It's only you who doesn't appreciate my culinary expertise.

What exactly is the Maximilian Special?

Frankfurters, tinned sausages and corned beef

all baked together to get the juices flowing.

You must write that down for me.

What else do we do? I played my new song on guitar.

Yeah, it was a thoroughly pleasant evening, thank you.

You and Noel make such a dreamy couple.

Speaking of which, have you seen Jez and Mickey selfies from Mexico?

Yes, what I wouldn't give right now for some sun, sea, sand and tequila.

SIREN

-Right, come here.

-Don't you touch me. Get off me.

-Have you got him?

-Get off.

-Good.

-Calm down, sir.

-Where is the other one?

There was a girl as well. He was chasing a girl, definitely.

-Get off me.

-Calm down.

-Did you see her? No?

There was... There was definitely somebody.

Hang on, wait. Wait, wait, wait.

Are you OK?

Hello?

Hello?

Nice and gentle. one, two, three.

Looks like she's been very lucky.

The chandelier hasn't crushed any part of her body.

It's all right, darling, I'm here, I'm here.

-You having a bit of pain there?

-Yeah.

-It looks like it could be dislocated.

All right, just bear with us. We'll get you some pain relief

and some backup, all right?

Mia, you're doing really well. OK.

Did you, did you bang your head at all, Mia, when you fell?

I don't think so.

I don't think so.

Well, it doesn't look like there's any significant head injuries.

OK, I tell you what I am going to do. I'm going to pop a line in

and we'll get her to the hospital. We'll get you patched up, all right?

Good girl. Just stay nice and still.

So why did the chandelier fall?

It's like she was possessed.

Really? Well, I have never heard that one before.

Hello.

Hello?

Is there anybody here?

Hel... Hello.

Why are you following me?

Well... I heard the shouting up there. I just...

Yeah, OK.

I can see I misread the situation. Right. I don't believe this.

-I've already called the police.

-Thanks for that.

-Now, jog on. Keep your mouth shut if you know what's good for you.

-OK.

Right, do you want me to have a look at that for you? I'm a doctor.

-Come on, let me have a look.

-Get away from me.

I think that needs re-dressing. I think you need to go to hospital.

-Come on...

-I'm warning you.

-OK.

I'm going to take this. OK? I just going to take this.

-It doesn't belong to you.

-That's mine.

-No, it isn't yours.

That's mine.

That is mine.

Get off. Go on. Get off.

No, come on, give it back to me.

It's your last chance to get off my property.

No.

-Give that back to me. That does not belong to you.

-Leave me alone.

Come on. Give it back to me.

HE GASPS

Ah, great, you've got the kettle on.

Cheers. Now that is a lot of food...

You can't beat leftover roast dinner for lunch!

I'm never eating again.

Max made me the most revolting meal last night.

The Maximilian Special. We heard you loved it!

I didn't want to hurt his feelings, Charlie.

-I was straight on the bog.

-Eugh!

Those tinned sausages pass straight through you.

-Noel!

-And Max had used all the toilet paper

so I was left in a very awkward predicament.

But not as awkward as when I had to pretend to like his guitar playing!

Surely it can't have been that bad.

Bad?!

Let's just say I will be investing in a very effective pair of ear plugs.

If you didn't buy the cheap stuff I wouldn't have to use half a roll.

Max... Mate...

HE GROANS

PHONE RINGS

HE GROANS

HE GROANS

HE SHOUTS IN PAIN

HE GASPS

PHONE CONTINUES TO RING

Hello, David. I... I never thought I'd be so happy to hear from you.

Yeah... Shut up, shut up, shut up. Just for a second.

I'm... I think I've found myself in a spot of bother.

-Ethan, would you like to lead on this?

-Yeah. Yeah.

Right what have we got?

Right, this is Mia Kovak, 20 years old.

At 5.45, a chandelier fell from a ceiling, trapping her underneath.

She was briefly KO'd,

but there's no sign of any contact or crush injuries

apart from a shard of glass in the upper aspects of her left arm.

Now, she was seen to be behaving

-erratically before the chandelier fell.

-OK.

Obs-wise, she's tachy at 110, GCS 15, but she's getting agitated

and her temperature is 39.5.

-Oh, OK.

-Query cause.

She's had a gram of IV paracetamol and half a bag of saline.

-So we're saying the trauma is minor but she has markers of sepsis?

-Sepsis.

Yeah. Right. Resus, please. OK, Elle...

SHE GROANS

-It's OK. It's OK.

-Nice and still for us.

-OK. Try and stay calm, you're in a safe place.

Suspected dislocated shoulder.

Now, cubicles are full so we're going to put her in Resus.

-Oh, and...

-OK, right. Iain?

I cleared them at the scene. They're just superficial wounds.

I sent them to Minor Injuries

but they've obviously come for the show.

Fine. Yes, go through to Resus.

Sorry. Can you go to reception, please? Someone will come through later.

I hear you're taking Lily to a wedding?

No, my services were needed here. Bay one, please.

So Ethan stood you up then.

There was a miscommunication.

Yes, if that's what you want to call it.

Don't you have any work to do?

Or are you just going to sit there and gloat like a child?

No my shift's finished so I've got all the time in the world.

The coroner decided that Scott Ellisson's death was accidental.

Lily, that is great.

And I am going to celebrate by heading home

for a well-deserved nap,

so you'll have to find someone else to annoy.

Hang on, what about the wedding?

I'm not going.

What? Don't be daft.

You can't just miss your cousin's wedding

because of a miscommunication.

There'll be too many questions if I turn up on my own.

I'd just... I'd rather just miss the whole thing.

Why? Going to a wedding on your tod isn't that bad!

You don't know my family.

Plus there is no way of me getting there.

It's not like I can drive my moped in that dress.

Well, like I said, my shift's finished.

All I've got to do is take the ambo back

and then I suppose I could drive you there.

I don't have to stay or owt, I can just drop you off.

It's not that I don't want you to stay.

I told my family I'm bringing Ethan, who is a doctor...

Well, how are they going to know?

All I've got to do is puff my chest out

and look like I'm really full of myself.

But if you'd rather miss the whole thing...

I suppose that would be a shame.

So do you want to ask me?

Would you mind accompanying me to my cousin's wedding?

Hm. Pretty please?

Don't push it.

VOICEMAIL: This is Dylan Keogh.

Please leave a message after the tone.

-BEEP

-Yeah, hello? Hello?

Dylan!

Dylan...

David... David?

Dylan?

Where are you, David? I'm in here.

Good grief!

How did you get down there?

Oh...um...it's...

It's a long story.

Don't come too close to the edge.

All right, all right.

You OK?

-Uh...

-You don't look great.

No?

Um...I just need to get back to the boat.

I think I've dislocated my knee.

Sanosi's there. He's on his own.

-It's not a good situation, David.

-All right, all right.

I think we should just look...

I think we should just get you to the ED.

As a doctor, I don't have to tell you, falling from up here,

you could have hurt your head as well.

Yeah, thanks for that.

Can we just get me out of here? I'm fine, I just...

I need to get back there and...

All right.

I can't see any way out.

It...obviously...

David, just get me out, please.

Aye-aye, captain!

Don't move a muscle.

Where have you gone, David?

Mind your head.

David, I can't...

I can't climb up a rope, I've got a dislocated knee.

No, it's all right, it's all right - I'll hoist you up.

No, you won't, that's ludicrous!

It's not ludicrous, I've seen it done before.

I've seen it done on telly.

You're not on the telly!

All right, don't worry - panic ye not.

I'll get you out in a...in a jiffy, all right?

Now, just try and get hold of that, and...and pull.

No, no, not now, no. Wait...

DAVID YELLS

DYLAN SCREAMS

No, no, I'm OK, I'm OK.

-I'm OK, I've...I've...

-DYLAN GROANS

Are you all right?

-No!

-Argh!

Sorry... OK.

Let's take a look at that knee.

Dr Dylan?

Dr Dylan?

DOG WHINES

BARKING

Hey...

What are you doing on Dr Keogh's boat?

Hey!

She's pyrexial at 38.9,

heart rate 110, BP 105/60, GCS 14.

OK - that is right in there, isn't it?

You OK, Mia? Have you got a headache?

I think so...

All right, let's get her booked in for a head and neck CT -

I want to rule out a bleed or a c-spine fracture.

Right, I'll book her in now.

Raquel, as I thought,

the X-ray's confirmed your shoulder is dislocated

but fortunately, there are no breaks.

We can re-locate it in here for you.

Do you just want to just hop up onto the bed for me?

RAQUEL GROANS

OK, let's start with some pain relief.

Gas and air, please, Robyn.

-How are you doing, love?

-I'm OK.

Hi. We are going to take her for a CT scan.

She seems a bit confused

so I just want to rule out anything more serious.

Looks like you're in safe hands with that one.

OK, let's sort your shoulder out

and then you can spend time with your daughter, all right?

RAQUEL GROANS

Oi! This is a hospital!

Stop it, or I will call security!

-Is he filming her?

-Yeah.

They think Mia's possessed.

We run ghost tours round the house. It helps with the mortgage.

We make a great team, don't we?

The best.

Sorry, I don't mean to hurry you, David,

but can I be the one to point out that the moment an African boy

is seen disembarking my boat

is the moment we're both going to jail?

All right, look, just...calm down.

Look, look, let's stop worrying about him getting off your boat.

Let's concentrate on us getting off this one.

A task you have just made immeasurably harder!

All right, look, to be honest,

I think at this precise moment, we...

CREAKING

..we have...bigger things to worry about.

DYLAN SCREAMS

Not bad...for somebody who's just come off a night shift.

I'll take that as a compliment.

-Your tie's wonky.

-Is it?

Let me.

Much better.

Good.

-We better get going. My family's always early.

-Yeah.

So...you going to introduce me as your boyfriend?

No.

Oh...

Who are they going to think I am?

Some sort of doctor for hire?

We'll keep it vague - let them make their own assumptions.

Thank you.

You're welcome...my lady.

DYLAN GROANS

Are you all right? Are you all right?

-Are you sure?

-I'm going to be sick.

Just not on me.

-We need to call for help.

-Where's your phone?

It's just there, but it's... It's out of battery.

OK, look, don't worry. I'll use mine.

Oh, no.

Dylan, I left it up there.

Of course you have.

Don't...don't worry.

Don't worry.

I'll shimmy up this

and we'll be out of here in a jiffy, all right?

Here we go.

Hey...!

Argh!

Are you all right?

Dylan?

-SCOTT:

-Dr Hardy?

Dr Hardy?

So...you got away with it.

How does it feel?

You think you can just carry on like normal, don't you?

But you're a murderer.

I'm not a murderer.

I'm a good person.

I'm a good doctor.

You used to be.

Now, your dirty little secret will infect everything that you do.

You're a monster...

..just like me.

-No...no, I'm nothing like you.

-Ethan?

Ethan...?

CHARLIE: Ethan?

Sorry - you all right?

Yeah.

Yeah, sorry, um...

Must have, um...

I just...need this coffee.

OK - Mia's about to go to CT.

Could you write her up some more analgesia?

Yeah. Yeah, yeah, I'll be right with you.

OK.

OK...that's it...

David, if I'm going to climb that ladder,

then...you need to help me

reposition my knee.

No, please, don't.

-If I touch it, it's going to hurt.

-David, shut up. You need to do it.

-Please, don't make me do this.

-You're going to do it.

OK, after three, then. One, two, three...

SWITCHES TO CLASSICAL MUSIC

We, um... We should decide what sort of doctor you're going to be.

My family can be very inquisitive.

Gynaecologist?

SHE SIGHS

No?

How about a cardiologist?

I know a fair bit about the heart.

Sure you do.

A consultant cardiologist.

You'd better let me do all the talking.

You're nervous, aren't you?

-Don't be ridiculous!

-HE CHUCKLES

I never thought I'd see the day -

Dr Chao, Medicine Woman,

bricking it about going to a family wedding.

I'm not nervous.

There's just so many questions about what I'm doing with my life.

Turn right.

You haven't exactly got 'owt to be embarrassed about, have you?

After my father died,

my aunt started taking a much greater interest in my life.

I know she's just looking out for me,

but she can be a bit of a...

Cow!

Stop! Stop!

TYRES SCREECH

COWS MOO

-AUTOMATED:

-Breathe in and hold your breath.

Well, that's all clear - no sign of a neck or head injury.

No...

Get her out. Let's get her out of there - she's having a seizure.

Can I borrow someone, please?

Let's get the cradle down manually. That's it.

All right, Mia. All right, darling.

All right, we're here.

Let's ease her down, can we?

-Yeah.

-All right.

Get her on her side.

OK...

Airway's clear.

We need to get her into Resus -

let's get 4mg of lorazepam on standby, please.

All right, Morna? I'll get the trolley.

-SCOTT:

-Dr Hardy?

Dr Hardy?

Managed to get away pretty unscathed.

What on earth happened to you?

Um...it was a fishing accident.

-Really?

-Yeah.

-Good grief.

Just to let you know, there was a young intruder

poking around your boat earlier, but I gave him a flea in his ear.

Did you? OK, well, thanks for that.

You look like a man who could do with a drink.

Don't suppose you fancy the pub quiz later?

I do not.

What about you?

-Oh...

-Mind that leg.

Yeah, no, the leg's fine, I just feel so...odd.

Have you got anything stronger than water?

I'm fine, thanks. Anything from Sanosi?

Hi, Sanosi. I'm sorry I've been so long.

Sanosi?

You haven't even put water down for Dervla.

Sanosi?

-Dylan?

-Ah...

Dylan, he's not here.

What do you mean, he's not here? Of course he's here.

-Sanosi?

-He's not in the room.

-Sanosi?

Hey, wh...?

I don't believe this.

-What?

-There is a 12-year-old Sudanese boy

wandering around the docks. David, we're totally finished!

We may as well just hand ourselves in to the police now.

Dylan, wait! What are you doing?

I'm going to go and look for him, aren't I?

THUDDING Argh! Oh...!

All right, all right, all right!

Sit down, sit down, sit down.

DYLAN GASPS IN PAIN

-Sit down, sit down.

-Argh!

All right, all right, shh! Let me have a look.

-DON'T TOUCH ME!

-Argh! All right, OK, OK.

It's obviously gone again.

That's why we've got to get you to the ED.

Here, take some of those, get your leg in a splint.

We can't go to the ED! They'll want to X-ray me.

That'll take ages, and they'll ask all sorts of questions

that we don't have the answers to.

-We need to find him.

-How will we find him if you can't even walk?

We've got to get you to the ED and looked at.

We can get in and out without them even noticing us.

Look at us!

All right, maybe...

Maybe not dressed like this. But...

-Hurry up!

-I didn't sign up for this!

If you'd kept your eyes on the road, we wouldn't be in this mess!

-This ain't my fault! Them cows came out of nowhere.

-Oh, cows!

Hello?!

-Come on...

-Yeah, I'm trying.

All right, get your leg over.

Take your time, come on.

-Argh!

-Come on! RIPPING SOUND

Oops.

Oh, Iain!

-RAQUEL:

-A seizure?!

-Is she OK?

-She's stable.

The good news is there was no head injury on the scan

so we're just looking at another cause.

-Has she ever had a seizure before, do you know?

-No. Never.

OK - we need to consider meningitis or encephalitis.

She had all the meningitis checks last week -

they said they were clear, they sent her home.

Sorry - she was in the ED this week?

She thought she had the flu - she's been fine these last few days.

OK, I'll go and check on her records.

Yeah - I'll check the PCR results for the last lumbar puncture.

But in the meantime, let's give her 2g IV cefotaxime

and IV acicolvir, please.

Right. Should we maybe think about removing the foreign bodies

while she's still sedated?

Sorry - yes, of course, I'll do that now.

This is all my fault.

Mia said she wasn't up for the tour, but I insisted.

We need the money.

Try not to worry, OK?

Once we've got the results of the lumbar puncture,

if it is meningitis, it's easily treated in the hospital

with the right drugs, OK?

Max...

Sorry about earlier. All that stuff you heard.

You know I was only joking, right?

So you actually like the song, then?

Well...

Let's just say you've got a lot of enthusiasm.

You're not the ideal housemate yourself, you know.

I mean, Jez gets to spend every morning waking up,

staring at the Caribbean Sea.

What do I get? You parading around in your pants.

Well, if you find the sight of my semi-naked body so off-putting,

why don't you go and kip on someone else's sofa?!

It's fine, I am going to ask Louise if I can stay with her.

Good! Give my poor eardrums a break!

-Hang on. Where you going?

-Back to Holby.

What?! We've only just got here.

We've missed the service. And look at me! Can't go in.

-Nobody'll notice that, right? Could be part of the dress.

-Ugh!

Listen, how do you think we're going to get back, anyway?

Have you forgot? We almost totalled the car?

"We"? This is all your fault!

No! You distracted me - this is both our faults.

There you are!

You missed the whole thing!

What on earth happened to you?

Our car broke down.

Who's this?

Dr Iain Dean.

Aunt Ling.

Ah - Auntie Ling.

I've heard wonderful things.

Do come inside - we must get you a drink.

SHE SIGHS

-Just...just act naturally.

-Act naturally?

-Feel very unnatural.

-We'll get you into a cubicle straightaway.

-Come on...

-Oh... Ah!

Oh, Connie, Connie...

Keep calm, keep pushing.

-How did it go in France?

-Uneventful.

It was very...uneventful.

Absolutely nothing out of the ordinary happened whatsoever.

Uh, well, what are you doing here?

You're not on shift.

We're bringing a wheelchair back.

We're returning a wheelchair, we took it with us to France

and we thought it'd be a good idea to bring it back

and...boost the number of wheelchairs in the hospital.

OK.

Looking a bit peaky.

What happened out there?

I fell over. Got a bit dirty.

Right, well, rest up.

Need you back on top form when you return.

-AMERICAN ACCENT:

-Sure thing, Mrs Beauchamp -

we'll head home straightaway.

CONNIE MUTTERS

DYLAN GROANS

I think that's all of it, and we'll get that dressed as well.

Right, I've checked the lumbar puncture results from last week

and there's nothing to suggest meningitis or encephalitis.

But look at this.

INR is 1.8, gases abnormal.

Lactate raised, LFTs abnormal.

And...she looks a bit jaundiced.

If it's not meningitis, what's making her so sick?

Uh...

OK...

We must have missed something.

Right, let's get a urinary catheter, please.

And we'll do an abdominal ultrasound next.

No - um...let's do a CANCA profile and an AMA

and can we get a urinary catheter as well, please?

Actually, you already said that.

Why don't we leave that for the medics when you refer her?

OK, I would appreciate it if you didn't question me

in front of my patient, please.

Maybe you should take a bit of a break.

I don't need a break, Charlie! I need...

-Whoa, whoa, whoa!

-Oh!

-MIA GASPS

All right, Mia. All right, darling.

-SCOTT:

-You're a monster, just like me.

Don't mind if I do - thank you.

It's such a pity your mother couldn't make it.

She has terrible flu - she sends her apologies.

She must be very pleased with this young man.

Cardiology must be so exciting.

I bet you've got some amazing stories!

Oh, too many to mention...

I did once save a man in ventricular standstill

when the pacing machine at work failed.

Yeah - we were struggling to get capture

so...well, basically, I kept his heart beating with my bare hands

till we stabilised his rhythm.

A good half an hour.

A real-life hero!

Your father would be so pleased

you've finally found someone worthy of your affection.

I know you always thought he judged your suitors a little too harshly,

but he only ever wanted the best for you.

Have you asked Iain about helping you get a foot on the ladder?

You've been stuck in that wretched hospital for years.

Believe me, Lily doesn't need my help.

She's the best doctor I know.

That's an exaggeration.

Nonsense! You've always been the brightest person in the room.

But intellect will only get her so far.

She needs to be fiercely ambitious

in order to achieve her full potential.

You know how much your father wanted you to be a surgeon.

Have you had any more thoughts?

I'm looking into it.

It's been so busy at work.

You never told me you wanted to be a surgeon.

You've never asked.

Wouldn't you be happy if Lily was more on your level?

Unless you feel threatened by powerful women?

Auntie!

Whatever Lily decides to do with her future,

I will support her 100%.

MUSIC: Come On Eileen by Dexys Midnight Runners

Come on - there's nobody on the dance floor.

My dress...

Chill out about your dress, nobody's watching. Come on.

Everyone is staring...

Don't worry about them - why do you care about what they think?

Oh...!

Blood pressure is really low, now - 80 systolic.

Uh...OK, more fluids, please.

Why is she getting worse?

MIA COUGHS AND SPLUTTERS All right, darling...

SHE RETCHES

-SCOTT:

-No! Please! Please, help me! You need to...

Why's he just standing there? Do something!

-CONNIE:

-Ethan?

What's happened? Ethan?

Ethan?

Big haemoptysis - she's getting shocked.

The test results from the lumbar puncture last week were normal,

so we've ruled out meningitis.

Start her on fluid resuscitation.

OK, can we get a big line in? Let's get two units of O-neg stat.

Cross-match four for packed red cell, four for FFP.

Let's have a portable X-ray as well, please.

Pull yourself together.

Ethan?

Marked metabolic acidosis, low bicarbonate.

Urine's dark...

-SCOTT:

-Help me - you need... You need to...

Ethan? Help me...

Ethan - how does it feel?

-CONNIE:

-Liver isn't coping very well and the kidneys...

-SCOTT:

-Dirty little secret. You got away with it.

Ethan? You need to...

You're a monster, just like me.

You're a monster. You're a monster.

You're a monster. You're a monster...

Excuse me.

Do you, um...? Do you happen to live in an old house?

It is a beautiful ancestral home, actually.

And...I don't mean to be rude,

but have you had trouble with rats recently?

We've had one or two in and out.

It's been much better since we got the cat.

-Yeah.

-Yeah.

Thank you.

Dylan? Dylan, Dylan, come on, here we go.

That's it. That's it.

-DYLAN CHUCKLES

-Dylan, shush!

Now, come on, trousers down.

-Trousers off.

-No!

Oh, forget it. Come on.

What are you doing? David, what are you doing?

I'm taking your trousers down. I've got to get to your knee.

All right, all right, I'll roll your trouser leg up.

-Oh...

-It's going to hurt.

DYLAN GROANS

That's it - well done, well done.

All right, come on.

Ooh...!

Dylan? Dylan, you've just got to do what you did earlier.

-No, I don't want to.

-Dylan, Dylan, you've got to...

-I shan't. Shan't.

-You've got to relocate your knee.

-I don't wish to.

-No, come on.

-You pop it for me.

-No, I'm not going to do it.

You do it - yeah, go on, pop it in.

-I'm not popping it in.

-Pop it in.

-No.

-Pop it in. Pop it in. Pop it in.

-You pop it in. Shh...!

There's a good boy. Pop it in.

Come on, Ducky, do it.

Right. Right...

Haven't I got to get back to the boat for something?

-You've got to get back for Sanosi.

-Oh, Sanosi.

-Get on with it, then.

-All right, after three.

-Yeah.

-One...

-One...

-Two...

MUSIC: Girls And Boys by Blur

Ta-dah!

See? That's much better!

Whoo!

Ow! Ow, my foot.

Sorry, sorry, sorry!

Just leave it, you clumsy oaf! Ow...

LAUGHING: Sorry.

CHOKING

Oh! Uncle!

OK, fine, that's great. Thank you, bye.

So Louise said it's fine, I can stay at hers.

Great.

I'll get my stuff out tonight.

I'll be gone by the time you get home.

There's no rush... Why not leave it till the weekend?

Yeah, I'd rather get it over with.

Also, she's having some Mexican-themed party

inspired by Jez and Mickey's selfies or something - I don't know.

Have a nice night in.

How is she?

Well...she's gone up to our Intensive Care Unit.

Now, the tests that we've done show that her kidneys are failing,

so they're planning on starting dialysis.

You can go and see her in a while.

We suspect Mia has Weil's disease.

It's carried in rats' urine -

that's why I was asking about the rats.

It's incredibly difficult to diagnose.

But you can cure her, right? She's going to be OK?

Well, I...wouldn't like to say at the moment,

but she's in the best possible hands, yes.

She's been telling me to leave that house for so long.

This is all my fault.

No, you can't say that - it's no-one's fault.

You don't understand.

Yes, I need an ambulance, please, to Peasbrook, north of Holby.

A 58-year-old male with an occluded airway.

I can't shift the blockage, I think it's completely occluded his airway.

Half an hour! He doesn't have that long.

He's going to arrest. We need to get him on the floor.

We can't wait for the ambulance.

We'll have to do a cricothyroidotomy.

-Without any equipment?

-We don't have any other choice.

Whatever it takes. I can't lose him.

Right. Get me some alcohol, the sharpest knife you can find

-and some sort of tube - anything he can breathe through.

-OK.

Excuse me.

It's all right, Uncle, I've got you.

WHEEZING

-SCOTT:

-Ethan?

Ethan?

Ethan? Ethan?

Great minds.

How's Mia?

She's on the Intensive Care Unit.

They said she has Weil's disease.

Right, of course...

I'm sorry - I'm not as good a doctor as I thought I was.

They said it was very difficult to diagnose.

Yes, but I still should have spotted it.

And I put your daughter's life at risk.

No, you didn't.

I'm the one who kept her living in that run-down old house.

If only we'd moved out.

No, no - there's no way you could have known that that would happen.

I paid the bank off six months ago

and let Mia still believe we were in debt.

I knew if she thought we were out of trouble,

she'd want to leave me and go to university.

I didn't want things to change. I wanted to keep her close.

And now, I could lose her forever.

She's on ITU, OK?

That's the best place for her,

and they'll be doing everything they can to help her.

But if I hadn't lied to her for all these months,

she wouldn't be so sick.

How can I live with myself?

You need to tell her the truth.

What if she can't forgive me?

You can't carry around a secret like that forever.

It will destroy you,

and it will destroy your relationship with your daughter.

Can everybody take a step back, please,

while Lily performs the procedure?

Why aren't you doing it?

Um...Lily is far more able than I'll ever be.

Don't be absurd!

You're a consultant cardiologist.

We're running out of time.

Please, Lily, he needs to be in the best hands.

Iain is a paramedic, OK?

-He can't perform the procedure.

-What?

I don't understand.

If you don't let go of my arm, he's going to die!

Knife, please...

Right, got it!

Tube, please.

Spare filter tube from the coffee machine.

Nice.

Lily - just breathe, all right?

You've got this.

I'm in.

He's breathing.

He's breathing!

APPLAUSE

-Make a good team, huh?

-Well done.

I knew you could do it.

OK.

All right, let me just take a look at this.

Don't worry, I'll take it really easy.

Oh, dear - that looks very painful.

Why didn't you come in sooner?

Been moving around a lot recently.

All right, not to worry.

How did you get these bruises?

-No idea. I've always bruised easily.

-Excuse me.

Dylan? Dylan?

-Hello?

-Charlie.

I didn't know you were back from France.

Yes, yes, we're back from France, Charlie.

Hey - I don't believe it, that's her!

I've been lying to you for so long.

I've paid off our debts.

-The bank isn't going to repossess the house.

-What?

I couldn't bear the thought of you leaving.

It's been you and me in that house for so long.

I didn't think I could manage on my own.

I didn't want things to change.

I told myself I lied to you because I loved you so much.

But this isn't love, you almost died...

-SCOTT:

-Ethan? You got away with it.

You're a murderer, just like me.

MONITOR BEEPS

All right, Mia.

Some deep breaths for me.

OK?

It's OK.

I want you to know I'm finally selling the house.

It's not fit for purpose.

I have to let go.

So you made it in. I made it in as well, you'll be pleased to know.

What are you doing?

I think he's made a mistake.

I haven't made any mistake. That is stolen - not yours.

-Please...

-Excuse me?

That is not yours. None of this is yours.

-All of this is stolen, stolen from a man in the marina.

-Please!

-It's mine.

-This isn't yours - Jonathan Birch.

Jonathan Birch, is that you?

Jonathan Birch, I arrest you in the name of the law.

Do you think I want to be nicking stuff just so I can eat?

My ex froze my account. I've got nothing.

Excuse me.

This ex - did he ever hurt you?

He can't find me now.

-OK, not to worry.

-Been doing fine by myself the last month.

You've been stealing - is that fine? Is it fine to break the law, David?

You know what it feels like not to have a home to go back to?

To be stranded in a strange city by yourself?

Unable to go to the authorities cos you're scared they'll lock you up?

I think you might be surprised, actually. I do understand.

Charlie, I'll leave this in your more-than-capable hands.

-We have to go.

-Yes, thank you.

-Have we got...?

-Yes, shh! Don't tell anyone.

All right...

Ignore that, OK?

Don't worry about it. All right.

Now, I'm going to call someone down to talk to you, now,

who is a specialist in domestic violence.

So you don't have to go through it on your own, all right?

-SHE SIGHS

-All right.

They managed to remove the obstruction from his airway.

He's doing really well.

What was it?

A prawn vol au vent.

Thank you.

For everything you did today.

I just don't understand why you had to lie to us.

With all due respect, Mrs Ling,

I think Lily is just trying to live up to your expectations.

That's not true...

Is it?

I know you mean well,

and you think my father would want you to look out for me.

But I feel like whatever I do, it's never good enough.

Your father knew your mother was too soft on you.

He didn't care about what I wanted - and neither do you.

Of course I care!

OK, then - if I said I don't want to be a surgeon,

would you be OK with that?

And if I said I'd fallen in love with a paramedic,

would you be happy for me?

But you'd make a great surgeon.

You just need to push yourself out of your comfort zone.

I don't want to be a surgeon.

I'm happy. I love my job.

But I'd be letting your father down

if I didn't urge you to strive for something more

than a job in an NHS hospital.

It's my life and I'll do what I want with it.

And if you can't support my choices, then I don't need to hear

your opinions on what I do ever again.

A cup of Earl Grey - that'll cheer us up.

Yeah, well, I've got tea.

It's in there if you want some.

If it's any consolation, I don't think the police will have got him,

because if they had, they'd have arrested us by now.

Yeah, but then at least we'd know that he was all right, wouldn't we?

Argh...!

That would be something,

but he's just a young boy in a totally alien city, I...

Literally anything could have happened to him.

All right, all right. No need to panic.

-I'll call a couple of the local hospitals...

-Dr Dylan!

..and see if he's been brought in.

-Dr Dylan!

-Could you get some water for Dervla?

I don't believe it - David, David, he's here! He's here. Sanosi's here.

HE LAUGHS

Master-blaster!

Where have you been?

-ARGH!

-Oh! I'm sorry, I'm sorry!

-Come here.

-I've been laying low so the angry man couldn't find me.

Was that not the right thing to do?

-No...

-No, no.

We're just... We're pleased you're all right.

That's the main thing.

But we've got to find your uncle.

This is not sustainable.

Yes, yes, that's exactly what I was doing.

Why I was calling you this morning.

Hang on, um...yes.

I've found... I found...

I found his number on one of his social media accounts.

He really should be more careful - anybody can find him.

Have you had this all day?

Um...

Yes.

Well, I'm tempted to say you're not as stupid as you look,

but I'm in two minds.

Well, I'll take that as a compliment.

I told you we'd find him.

HE LAUGHS

Ha...ah, ah!

SANOSI LAUGHS

-ETHAN:

-Dear Mrs Beauchamp,

this is the hardest letter I've ever had to write.

But if I don't tell you what I've done,

it's going to be hanging over me forever.

I let Scott Ellisson die.

And I need to take responsibility for my actions.

You saw what happened with me today.

I feel like I've lost whatever there was inside me

that made me a good doctor.

I'm no longer a good person.

I'm a murderer.

So I wish to hand in my resignation...

..and offer myself up to be judged fairly by the hospital trust

and, moreover, the criminal justice system.

Max, you got a sec?

Can't stop - I've got to find somewhere to buy a sombrero.

But I got you a pressie.

MAX SIGHS

This better be good...

Go on.

Ta-dah!

It's the posh stuff!

It's a pound more expensive than the stuff I usually buy.

A pound? I don't know what to say...

I'll give it to Louise as a token of my appreciation.

No, no, I don't want you to give it to Louise.

I want you to use it at my gaff.

That's...weird. What are you trying to say?

That I... That I don't think you should move out - just yet, anyway.

Hold on - you want me to sack off this party to move back in with you,

where I can't even play guitar without being ridiculed?

-I said I was sorry.

-Sometimes, sorry is not good enough.

Look, I quite like having you around, all right?

Despite our different tastes in music,

I didn't realise how nice it was to have a housemate to come back to.

And even though your cooking is atrocious...

..it certainly beats a meal for one.

Well, I'm not missing this party.

You can come if you want, though..."housemate".

HE LAUGHS

Noel?

Dr Hardy, have you seen him anywhere? I can't find him.

Not since this morning.

Do you want me to pass on a message at all?

I guess not.

-Noel? Noel, can you send this upstairs please?

-Yeah.

-It's my uncle's file.

-OK.

-Thank you.

So...who's this paramedic you're in love with?

-Have we met him?

-I was just saying it to make a point.

OK. So...how do you feel about him?

I think he's a pain in the backside.

LIFT PINGS

Yeah, I think that sums him up pretty well.

Whoa, whoa, whoa...

You all right? Sleep deprivation finally sent you loopy?

Shut up.

THUNDER RUMBLES

There you are.

I need you to come downstairs now.

I take it you've read my letter.

No - I didn't. I put it in the bin. I haven't got time

for half-hearted attempts at resignations.

-You haven't...?

-No.

I need to explain my behaviour today.

What? So you froze in Resus.

Why you making a song and dance about it?

It's...

Not for the first time, I put a patient's life at risk.

Right, but you're putting patients' lives at risk now

by leaving me high and dry in the middle of your shift.

I wish you'd read the letter.

Ethan, I don't have time for your juvenile neuroses.

OK - what do you want me to say? You're the best doctor we've had?

The place would grind to a halt without you?

No. I don't want praise. It's the opposite.

Good, good, because this conversation

is exceedingly tiresome.

I need you to pull yourself together, get downstairs

and treat the long line of irate patients in Resus, OK?

You've picked a particularly bad day to have a pseudo meltdown.

If you're struggling with Cal's death,

there's help available.

It's not about Cal.

OK. Good. I'm glad we've had this conversation.

But I need you to get on with your job, OK?

OK.

That's more like it.

Chop chop - work to be done.
