Ambition Doctors

Who's your new friend, Matty?

PHONE RINGS

-Hey!

-Trust him to get his own.

-Tea?

-Two sugars in mine, Dan.

-Hey, babes.

-Thank goodness.

Where have you been? I was really worried.

Oh, I just got back from my first proper fire.

THEY CHEER

You know that old clothes factory just down by the canal?

Completely up in flames.

We thought it was going to spread on to the next factory,

but I got in there quick and sorted it.

Yeah, the lads were well impressed.

Well, now I need rescuing.

Your baby's been kicking my insides all night

and won't let me get back to sleep.

We're missing Daddy.

Sorry, babes. I'll come back straight after.

All right, love you.

ALL: Awww. Mwah, mwah, mwah.

-Are you hiding?

-No.

Maybe a bit. If you can hide a bit.

Can you hide a bit?

I suppose you either hide or you d...

Yes, I'm hiding.

I had a dream with a queue of patients all with diseases

that I hadn't heard of, asking to see a proper doctor.

Hey, give over. You are a proper doctor. Yeah?

-SHE KNOCKS ON DOOR

-Oh! Get a room. House calls.

First one's just a pregnancy.

Just a pregnancy?

What I mean is, surely that's a job for a midwife

or a health visitor, not a doctor.

Unless you don't think that I'm up to it?

Don't be ridiculous, you just need to get back on the bike.

And I didn't mean... Yeah.

Hey, she's right, you know. You are being a bit over-sensitive.

Ah! And I've got the hypochondriac, Farmer Martin.

So?

He lives miles away from anywhere. It will take me ages to get there

and there's never anything wrong with him.

It's a waste of bloody time.

Sergeant Hollins?

That's me.

I've been assigned to you. I'm Tina.

The CSO?

Apparently you are a rising star.

Inspector Suresh heard what I did during the riots last year.

There was this gang of hoodies

and they were about to put in a shop window, right, so I just...

Let's make a start, shall we? This is the call log.

It needs prioritising.

Come on.

You're a police officer, you need to react quickly, think on your feet.

Erm. This one.

There's a house in Kingsvale being used as a brothel.

We'll have to call in Vice.

We're not in Amsterdam.

If it's in Kingsvale, then it'll be a curtain twitcher

who's got the wrong end of the stick. Believe me, I know. No.

The one we need to look at first is this one.

-What? A petty burglary?

-There's been a spate of them recently,

someone's been targeting old people. This is the job.

Are you coming or what?

Hey, come on, lads. You going to help me do the washing up?

-And the award goes to...

-ALL: Matty.

THEY CHEER

Aren't you going to help me do the washing up?

-See ya.

-Bye.

-See you.

Just spoke to Jez. She said you were quite the hero this morning.

Oh, it was nothing. What we're here for.

No, actually, it isn't.

You entered that building without orders. Totally reckless.

There wasn't time. The next factory would have gone up.

It's basic procedure, Matty.

You never EVER go in without back-up.

-Don't you dare bring your dad into this.

-I wasn't.

Good.

You can spend the rest of the shift re-learning

your Standard Operating Procedures or you'll get a written warning.

And there's plenty more he could've taken.

I mean, suppose he's coming back for the rest?

Mrs Mayweather, please, don't worry.

Forensics are on their way to test for fingerprints.

Yeah, but the chances are he would've been wearing gloves.

So, you've no hope of catching him?

We will do all we can.

I'll be living on my nerves, while I know he's out there.

Oh, hey, we'll get him.

Thanks. Can I get you some tea?

I'll do that. Sergeant Hollins needs to ask you some questions.

Shall we do that in the front room?

What do you think you're doing, promising something like that?

I was just reassuring her.

And now she'll be twice as scared if we don't get him.

Sorry. I just thought...

Well, don't. Leave the thinking to me.

OK.

Well, it's not pre-eclampsia,

but your blood pressure is a bit high.

No surprise there then.

My boyfriend didn't come home last night.

Honestly, men, they need to be reminded what their priorities are sometimes.

He's not like that. He's a firefighter.

He had to work. But...

..I can't do this by myself. I need him.

I'm going to be a terrible mother, I know I am.

No, you're not.

It is perfectly normal for a young mum to be scared.

You sound like Dad. He thinks I'm too young as well.

That's not what I meant.

Now, listen, I'm going to prescribe you a chick flick

and a massive bar of chocolate.

That's the best advice I've ever had from a doctor.

Seriously though, love, you need to take it easy.

Anyway, when I woke up,

I noticed that my dressing room drawer was open

and all my jewellery had gone.

It wasn't worth much, but my wedding ring was in there.

What is your usual time to go to bed?

Half past ten, after the news.

And you are sure that your jewellery was still there then?

Oh, absolutely.

You see, I always take my wedding ring off to go to sleep,

it's getting a bit tight now.

What would have happened if I'd woken up?

Well, it's just as well you didn't.

Here we go. I'll be Mum.

-How do you take it?

-Just a dash of milk, please, dear.

Oh, my gran's got one of those.

She's like Michael Schumacher on it.

-Sugar?

-No, ta.

This is the one I fancied.

I mean, not that it matters now,

because I'd be too scared to go out anymore, after this business.

Now, now, Mrs Mayweather, what sort of talk is that?

If you don't carry on as normal, you've let the burglar win.

And you don't strike me as the sort of lady to be beaten that easily.

No, I'm not.

So, Mrs Mayweather...

Oh, and who's this handsome chap?

My grandson.

I'd rather not talk about him, if you don't mind.

Anyway...

OK!

OK, my love, can you hear me?

Can you hear me?

Ah. OK.

OK.

-'Emergency services?'

-Yeah, ambulance, please.

This is Dr Wilson from the Mill Health Centre.

I've got an RTC on Faraday Road. One unconscious female.

I'm going to need the fire service to cut her out.

Thank you.

OK, my love, let's have a look.

Oh, God.

It's all right. I'm a doctor.

ALARM RINGS

-What have we got?

-We've got an RTC. You've got revision.

-What good am I stuck here?

-You should have thought of that before.

But you'll be one down.

Please, Sam.

I'll learn more from you and the lads than I will some textbook.

You can show me how it's done.

I need the experience and I'm only going to get that on a shout.

I want to be good at this, like Dad.

I promise I won't do anything stupid.

OK. You observe, that's all.

That's cool, cheers.

You've got a lot to answer for, Jim.

Is there anyone I can call for you?

No, thanks.

What about your grandson? Is he local?

Gavin's in prison.

At least he was the last time I heard of him.

I've kind of washed my hands of him.

I'll come back with your locks later.

Thanks, dear.

Bye.

OK. She's got severe injuries to the abdomen and legs.

Blood pressure is 80 systolic and dropping.

I've tried to stem as much of the bleeding as I can.

-OK.

-Oi, Matty!

What did I tell you?

Get round the other side of the car, make sure it's stable.

-We'll get her out of here as quickly as we can.

-Thank you, love.

Right, stand back, everybody.

HE RETCHES

Hey, hey, are you all right, my love?

Erm...

PHONE RINGS

Hello?

No, I'm sorry, we're fully booked today. OK, bye.

Hey.

You OK?

First road accident?

-It does get easier, you know.

-I'm fine.

It's probably just something I ate.

They probably felt exactly the same on their first job.

-Maybe you should try talking to them?

-There's nothing to say.

OK. Well...

..that's my number.

If you want to talk, be completely confidential...

I told you, I'm all right. Just back off, will ya?

OK, fine.

So, what do you think?

We're definitely looking for the same bloke.

He always targets old people, always breaks a window at the back

and always takes jewellery.

Except Mrs Mayweather was burgled at night.

And, as far as we know, he didn't search the property.

Our man knew what he was looking for and where he would find it.

He knows her?

Well, you said her grandson was in prison.

What's the betting that we find he's been released?

I'll check it out.

Who'd have thought a dull robbery

would have turned into proper detective work?

All right, mate?

That's why I told you to pace yourself.

The gory side of the job can take a bit of getting used to.

You told me so. I know.

Back to reading the manual.

You're not the first firefighter to get scared of a bit of blood.

But you've got to man up, get on with it.

You're not a kid anymore.

-So stop treating me like one!

-Pardon?

You're always on my case. Do this, don't do that.

Always playing the big I am.

Well, somebody's got to keep you in line.

You always think you know better, don't you? Like father, like son.

-I'm nothing like him.

-You can say that again.

I don't remember him puking like a baby on a shout.

Look, Matty,

your dad was my best mate.

It's not that I'm on your case,

I just don't want you to go the same way that he did.

I'm trying to help you here.

Well, maybe you can't. Maybe I've had enough!

So why a CSO and not a cop?

I was halfway through my initial training

when I found out I was pregnant.

His dad didn't stick around long, but I always promised myself

I'd go back to training when he went to school.

There's more applicants than places at the moment,

so I'm doing what I can as a CSO.

Looks like a nice kid.

He can be a right handful.

Oh, and I wonder where he gets that from?

Fair point.

You need to start as you mean to go on, show him who's boss,

otherwise he'll run rings round you.

PHONE RINGS

Yup.

I've eaten.

Right.

Do I?

No.

-The wife. You see how I maintained control?

-Yeah. Impressive.

Right. There she is.

This needs to be handled delicately.

For goodness' sake, stick to the script.

Here are the locks I promised.

Have you got someone who could fix them?

No. George always did that sort of thing.

We've got some local volunteers who can come round if you like?

Oh, thank you.

And I'll be giving you a crime number.

Is this your insurance policy? I can run you through the claim.

-Oh, you're too kind, really.

-Not at all.

I've just found this piece of glass outside.

I thought I'd swept it all up.

We've been checking our records.

There's been a lot of burglaries in the area.

Oh, I know. I've heard about it, down at the day centre.

What is the world coming to?

Do you know where your grandson is being held, Mrs Mayweather?

Erm, Brackenhurst, I think.

Not anymore.

Ooh, you don't think...?

He's been transferred to Winson Green,

but you would have know that, wouldn't you?

Because you went to see him three weeks ago.

Two days before you took this out.

What are you insinuating?

Your case is different from the other burglaries.

-You claim it took place at night.

-Well, it did

That glass was broken from the inside.

Where's your jewellery, Phyllis?

I wanted the insurance money to pay for a mobility scooter.

I'm sick to my stomach of seeing that Vilma Callaghan,

gallivanting about on hers.

She's had one over on me for years.

I've never, ever broken the law before.

It was my grandson's idea. He said that if I...

Mrs Mayweather, can you hear me? Call an ambulance.

I can tell you're faking, Phyllis.

Well, you're a smart one.

Jess?

-I'm home.

-Matty!

Matty!

I'll call an ambulance.

I'm giving birth, I'm not dying. Just get the bag and drive me.

It's by the front door!

Argh!

-Me again.

-Oh, you're early.

Erm, yeah. About that.

I might need a bit longer as I've got two men to satisfy now.

-I haven't shocked you, have I?

-No, of course not.

But I'm going to have to charge you a bit more.

You're joking, right?

20 is the rate for a couple.

It'll be another tenner per additional occupant.

I've travelled halfway across town for this.

You never mentioned that when I booked.

Cos you've always been on your own.

Well, not on your own, obviously, but with one or...

-PHONE RINGS

-..various different... Do you want the room or not?

Yes, but I'm only paying 20.

It's 30, otherwise I'll let the room to someone else.

This is a racket.

What do you want?

My cut of the earnings. I'm on my way round.

We're not going anywhere, Jack!

You take 20 quid or I'm doing it on your lawn.

-You better not!

-Jack? What's going on?

Oooh! Ahhhh! Arrrrgh!

It's coming. It's coming. Do something!

Argh!

How did you know she was faking?

I didn't. No harm in calling her bluff, though.

We might make a copper out of you yet.

So, what now? That brothel?

Yes, go on, radio in for the address.

No need. It's 57 Manderlay Avenue.

So, how was Farmer Martin?

Clean bill of health, dirty mind.

You do not want to know what he suggested that we do

-on the back of his combine harvester.

-Ooh.

Ooh, St Phil's rang to say

that the woman that you helped in the car crash is stable.

I didn't really do anything.

What car crash?

What car crash?

PHONE RINGS

Yeah, Freya. I mean, Doctor Wilson.

It's happening now. The ambulance is...

Oh, calm down, love. Who is this?

It's Matty Isaacs. The firefighter from this morning.

My girlfriend's in labour,

-but the ambulance isn't going to make it in time.

-Argh!

OK. Er, right. You need to... you need to make her comfortable

and you need to find some towels.

Where are you?

A car park. I've got something.

-Shh, shh.

-OK, is the baby crowning yet?

-What?

-Can you see the baby's head?

Yeah, yeah, it's there. I'm going to be sick.

No, no, no, Matty, don't you do this. You can do this.

OK, stay with me!

Argh, argh!

Right. You need to make sure

that Jess only pushes with the contractions.

And make sure the cord isn't tied round the baby's neck.

Oh, Matty! Do something for...

Matty? What's...? OK.

It's all right. Breathe with me, Matty. Just breathe.

Breathe in, count with me. Five, four,

three, two, one.

And breathe out. All right, my love, now, are you ready?

-I think so.

-OK.

Remember, Jess only pushes with the contractions

and make sure the cord isn't around the baby's neck.

OK, only push with the contractions, babes.

-Argh!

-OK, it's coming!

OK. That's fine, that's fine. That's good. Just encourage her.

Nice things. Say nice things.

You're doing really well.

Come on, babes. We're almost there. One more push.

BABY CRIES

What's wrong?

Matty? Matty, what's happening?

He's beautiful.

My son.

I've just delivered a baby!

-Ah!

-I have just delivered a baby.

Ah-ha-ha-ha.

Well, how about we pay 20 and one of you two gets to join in?

We don't care which.

You all right, guys? Just come straight through.

Don't mind if I do.

Erm.

Oh, come on.

Get out the way.

Just go!

What is going on?

Nothing. Just a misunderstanding.

They're trying to rip me off. Charging per person, not per room.

I think you'd better leave.

I like a woman in uniform.

Right, you two.

Get out.

Come on, out, now.

-And this is your house, is it?

-Yeah. Well, our parents'.

And where are they?

Dad, I can explain.

Get inside.

Oh. Erm...

I'm sorry if you've been disturbed.

Jack's parties seem to have got out of hand.

You know what teenagers are like.

Indeed I do. I wasn't born yesterday.

No, I can see that.

And I've seen a lot of amorous couples

handing over money to your son.

Yeah, that was for the party food and the DJ,

-but I've put a stop to it.

-This is a respectable street.

Absolutely.

I can promise you, there'll be no more trouble.

I hope not, Sergeant Hollins.

Law and order should begin at home.

Yeah. Yeah.

I should have come home last night, I'm sorry.

You were here when it mattered.

Well, I'm going to be around a lot more from now on.

Why?

-Hey, Dad.

-Hello, love.

Are you OK?

Now then, look at you, little fella.

You got a name yet?

James.

After your old man?

You're a proper hero now then.

Your dad would be proud of you.

And so am I.

Excuse me. It wasn't him doing the pushing, you know.

I know.

-Look, I'm sorry, I've been an idiot.

-Got that right.

-And I understand why you had a go.

-Good.

You've got two weeks' paternity leave.

-Then, I'll expect you back on duty.

-Is that what you want?

What I want is for you to support my daughter and my grandson.

I will,

but we both know, I'm not cut out for this job.

And I'm a dad now and, like you said, I've got to grow up.

Don't worry, looks like you already have.

Hello, little one.

You've got every right to be angry.

I'm not angry.

I'm disappointed.

First, your mother and now, you two. I give up.

What about Mum?

Get out my sight.

We'll put everything back as it was.

Wait a minute.

How much did you make with your sordid little enterprise?

It's all there.

Well, this can go to the Police Benevolent Fund.

You all right, Sarge?

What did I do to deserve a family like this?

Nobody was hurt.

And I'm not sure any actual laws were even broken, were they?

I know you have to make your presence felt as a parent,

but isn't it better to let things slide occasionally?

Or maybe not.

I'll wait in the car.

We keep Kevin, it's obvious.

Yes, but...

We like Freya.

-Hand it over...

-What is it?

-What's with all the phone calls?

-It's none of your business. Give it!

I don't love you.

We can have peace when we're dead.

This debate is irrelevant. Freya can't do the job.

-After what you did the other night.

-Rob.

-What did you do the other night?

-Something seedy?
