Brotherly Love Doctors

THRASH METAL BANGS DULLY THROUGH WALLS

Want some toast?

Jamie!

Five minutes.

Wait for me, yeah?

I'm good at waiting.

Rob's sleeping off his night shift,

so he's going to be out the picture for hours.

So I thought...

A bit of girlie time!

Immie's left loads of art stuff upstairs,

so I thought we could make cards.

You know, lots of glitter? No?

Shopping and lunch?

I know!

Facials and nails!

-I want to...

-I've got loads of creams that I want to use up, so...

I want to go in the garden.

OK!

-Why couldn't you just wait?

-Why didn't you come?

Keep it under the water.

Why?

Dunno. That's what Mum always said to do.

Have to do better than this at Ashvale, Petey-boy.

It hurts, Jamie.

Soon have you sorted, mate.

I need to see Ayesha, at the Mill.

Don't be stupid. I'll put this on you.

I need to see Ayesha.

Well, you can't. They won't have any appointments.

I need to see Ayesha! It hurts!

You're due at Ashvale. It's your moving-in day.

It hurts! It hurts!

All right! OK! We'll go on the way.

They're going to make you wait ages though.

I'm good at waiting.

And no Justin Bieber in the car.

Oh!

Dr Vere.

For me?!

From Mrs Moult. She said you provided exceptional service.

Oh, I remember that. That was an interesting case, actually.

Dr Vere has gone above and beyond.

She said you are a credit to the profession and the surgery.

Ohh! Thank you, Mrs Tembe.

And you, Zara. You've taught me so much.

Oh, please. Well done, Sid.

Al said, you are so popular with the older ladies,

you could have your own fan club.

What did he call it?

Sid's Septuagenarians.

I'm good at waiting.

Well, it's nothing too serious.

How did it happen, again?

Making toast.

On your own?

Mm. Exactly.

Mum always let me.

Yeah, when she was there. I told you to wait.

Your mum would be so pleased that you're so independent, Pete.

But she'd want you to be safe, too.

Can't be long now till you go to the group home.

-Today.

-Oh! You excited?

Yeah.

Yeah, he is.

Jamie says I never shut up about it.

Asking the same questions, over and over,

even though I've answered them a hundred times.

It's a really big thing.

Ayesha? I...

I like one-word-title films. Know any?

Um...

Skyfall?

Two hours, 23 minutes. Two Oscars.

"Bond, James Bond."

Daniel Craig and his Aston Martin.

-Any more?

-Pete, the nurse needs to get on.

And you need to get to Ashvale.

Erm, well...

We're nearly done. I've heard really good things about Ashvale, Pete.

Jaws. Two hours, four minutes. Three Oscars.

"You're gonna need a bigger boat".

Keep it clean. Come back if you need anything else at all.

"You're gonna need a bigger boat!"

Is everything OK, Pete?

Yeah, you know how he gets.

Key ring.

Oh, wow, that looks special.

It was Mum's. It's for his keys at Ashvale.

"You're gonna need a bigger boat!"

Is something bothering you, Pete?

HE RATTLES KEY CHAIN

I need a drink.

I'm not a baby.

There's a lady on reception, her name's Valerie.

She'll get you a drink. Jamie'll catch you up.

There you go.

I've been thinking.

About yesterday.

And you're not in any trouble.

But it's OK to tell the truth about why you jumped out of the window.

-I didn't.

-Oh.

And you didn't take the flour either?

Must have been somebody else.

So, I think that, maybe, somebody did that because...

they don't know what's ahead of them in their future.

And I know what that's like.

Feeling you don't know what's going to happen.

That's...

That's hard, Hannah.

It's OK. I'm used to it.

Oh, don't say that, please!

I know you've had tough times,

but you're a great girl and you've got a fantastic future.

Nothing's forever.

That's the one thing I've learned in my life.

Things change.

You're saying it's my fault?

No, you know I'm not.

I'm just wondering if there's a possibility that

Pete might have hurt himself on purpose?

Why would he do that?

I know it's a really big thing for him,

and he's ready to be more independent but...

..maybe he's having doubts about going to the group home.

Doubts?

It's all his idea!

Pete finds it difficult to express himself.

-Yeah, you don't say.

-He seems jittery.

Look, if Pete was having any doubts about it, then I would know.

Unless he doesn't want to say.

Yeah, I suppose there's a first time for everything!

What are you trying to say, exactly?

You think...

You think I want to get rid of him.

No, of course not. But something's going on.

I've got to go. We should have been at Ashvale an hour ago.

Pete hates his routine being messed with.

Jamie, this isn't easy.

But we all want what's best for Pete...

AND for you.

Titanic.

Three hours, 14 minutes. 11 Oscars.

"A woman's heart is a deep ocean of secrets."

All right. Frankenweenie.

One hour, 27 minutes. "Nobody likes scientists."

Oh...he's good!

Jaws. Two hours, four minutes.

-"You're gonna need a bigger..."

-Shark!

What?

Come on, Pete.

-Did you talk to Ayesha?

-Not now.

-Did you talk to Ayesha?

-Give it a rest, J!

HE GROANS

Brody comes out and he says, "You're going to need a bigger shark."

-Right?

-Yeah. That sounds right.

Have you even seen Jaws?

-I have seen Jaws.

-What's it about?

It's about a big fish.

Here you are! I was wondering where you'd got to.

-It hurts.

-Jamie said on the phone.

Different finger.

Don't ask.

I think it's fine. But just in case...

The others are at the shops.

They're making spag bol for lunch.

We can catch them up if you like?

Later, there's art in the lounge and the ICT volunteer is coming in.

You can tell him where he went wrong, like last time.

-It hurts.

-Chill, Petey-boy.

Key ring, yeah?

What's the problem?

It's gone!

You've not left it at the doctors, have you?

Petey-boy, chill, yeah? I'll pick it up on my way home.

You've got this, though, haven't you?

-We have to go back.

-That's not happening, mate.

We have to go back!

-Jamie'll get it for you, Pete.

-We have to go back!

OK. OK. But you are staying right here.

Maybe you should take him.

But make sure you're back for spag bol, it's going to be fantastic.

Come on.

I just thought he might be worried, so if you could give him a message?

No need. He's on his way back for it.

-Oh, back here?

-Yup.

Guess he couldn't face this place without his special good luck charm.

Have you noticed anything...

different about Pete, today?

He's been in the wars.

Two hurt fingers in one day.

-Apart from that, not really.

-Two?

I guess he has got a lot of changes going on.

Yeah.

If I'm honest, probably do him and Jamie good

-to get a breather from each other.

-Why do you say that?

Sorry, got to go. Bye. Bye!

Oh, it just breaks my heart to hear her say that.

What kind of life is she going to have?

Can't you just let it go?

Because I really want to go back to sleep.

She doesn't want to do anything.

And that's why it's so hard to connect.

That's OK. It's nearly lunchtime.

That is one thing the girl does love to do.

You're a genius!

HE GROANS POINTEDLY

Where's Ayesha?

She's out on house calls,

but...

she left this for you.

Twilight?

That's five films. Where's Ayesha?

She said house calls.

-Come on, let's go.

-No Ashvale.

What?

I want to see Ayesha. It hurts.

Ayesha can't just drop everything.

Do you think you're her only patient or something?

Will you tell him? Please.

She is very busy.

And haven't you already seen her today?

Oh, excuse me.

Mrs Robinson!

How is your downward facing dog?

Hello.

And where's that lovely real dog of yours? Is he outside?

I've left Rusty at home.

After you.

No Ashvale!

Oh, I see.

Don't mind him. We're going.

I was just passing.

Is there any chance of seeing a doctor?

Well, we have got a drop-in clinic today,

and there are a few people waiting,

-but it shouldn't be more than an hour.

-An hour?

Let me think.

I have to get over to St Clara's, to help with reading.

It's with Dr Vere.

Lovely Dr Vere!

THEY LAUGH

I'm in.

"You're gonna need a bigger boat."

You may be right there.

-Goodbye, dear.

-No Ashvale!

Pete, what's up, mate?

Come on, you can tell me.

Where's Ayesha?

So...

last time, your rheumatoid arthritis was stable,

and the new drug combination was doing the trick.

I've been doing yoga moves

I haven't been able to get near in 20 years!

That's great.

How about you?

Oh, yeah, I'm doing very well, thank you, Mrs Robinson.

Evelyn, please!

How are you getting on with those stretches I showed you?

Oh, yeah, my lower back's doing much better, thank you.

You should come to class sometimes!

Thursday nights.

We're not all ancient.

There are some yummy mummies.

THEY CHUCKLE

You'd show me up, Evelyn.

Don't know if my male pride could take that.

Oh, you'd look good in Lycra, though.

What is it the St Clara kids say?

Fit!

I wouldn't know where to start.

You'd soon pick it up.

Try the Tree Pose.

Like this.

-Ooh.

-Evelyn? Are you in pain?

Probably pulled a muscle.

I hate to waste your time, doctor.

No, not at all. You've done the right thing by coming in.

Just hop onto the bed, and then I'll take a look at you.

I'm not sure I'm quite up to hopping, today.

-Allow me.

-Oh...

So...how long have you been having this pain?

A few days.

On and off.

It was worse last night.

I had to take some painkillers!

And is it focused in one place, or...?

Erm...

OK.

Is it a sharp, stabbing pain, or more of an aching pain?

Not sure, really.

It varies.

So, is it muscle strain, Doctor?

Only I'm reading with Year Three.

Don't want to keep the kids waiting!

THEY CHUCKLE

Well, there could be several explanations.

-But don't worry, we'll have you back at yoga in no time.

-Oh!

Through there, on the left.

RATTLING AND SHRIEKS

What are they up to in there, eh?!

Kelly?!

I can go to the toilet by myself.

I'm not a baby.

Course you can.

Pull the cord if you need me?

Coming!

We'll have to run a few tests. Better safe than sorry.

Does it get worse after you've eaten?

Or any other specific times?

Oh, here we go!

Sorry, hang on. One minute...

Yeah, yeah, that all looks fine.

Any nausea at all?

Evelyn?

Evelyn?!

Wakey-wakey!

Evelyn?

Evelyn, can you hear me?

Evelyn?!

Am I doing it right?

Yeah, that is perfect.

You've probably done enough now,

so if you want to put a spoonful in each...

Not too much, cos then they're going to overflow.

-Oh!

-SHE LAUGHS

That's for me... Mmm!

..and that's for you.

SHE CHUCKLES

I'm making a mess.

That's the whole fun of it.

Go on.

Have a try of it.

Mmm!

Now, see, you can try out your baking skills

at your next placement. It's going to be great.

-PANTING

-Ambulance?

It's on its way.

OK, so fill us in, Sid.

Evelyn Robinson. Age 78. Abdominal pain, she said!

Come on. One, two, three, four,

five, six, seven, eight,

nine, ten...

One, two, three, four...

MACHINE BEEPS

-MACHINE BEEPS MACHINE:

-Push Analyse.

OK, stand clear everyone.

-MACHINE BLEEPS

-Stand clear.

SIRENS WAIL, CLOSING IN

Sid! Sid!

Push to shock.

THUNK

PHONE RINGS

Kelly, hey.

He's what?

Why weren't you watching him?

OK.

Yeah, well, I'm on my way.

She's not breathing.

Where's the ambulance?

What are you doing? You need to shock her again!

-Female.

-78.

-Sudden cardiac arrest.

Shocked twice, she's still not breathing.

Sid, the paramedics are here. Let them do their job.

So what do we do now?

Just give them some space, Sid.

There must be something we can do!

Pete, what are you doing here? Surgery's closed.

I'm waiting for you. I'm good at waiting.

Where's Jamie?

Come on, Pete. Talk to me.

You have to come.

It's very important.

Come where? To Ashvale?

No Ashvale!

All right, but where?

Pete, is something wrong? Is it Ashvale?

Did something happen with Jamie?

You have to come!

OK, well, I'm not allowed to drive you. Maybe we should get a taxi.

It's very important.

Three sugars for the shock.

Vince. We'll have to let Vince know. Evelyn's son.

Miss Pitman has notified Mr Robinson.

And the school, St Clara's. Year Three.

Evelyn said she helps out there every week.

I don't know what happened!

You have nothing to blame yourself for.

Sid, you followed procedure to the letter.

Procedure?

You did everything you could for her.

Yeah, except save her life!

KNOCKING

The Coroner's office are on the phone. I wasn't sure...

Could you put them through to my room?

I'll deal with it there.

You finished yet?

OK. On three.

One, two...

three! Yay!

SHE LAUGHS

Is my nose really that big and that red?

It's like The Great Letherbridge Bake-Off in here!

All you need now is a judge...

Hands off, Hollins!

What, are you going to do all this work and no-one gets to taste 'em?

-Go on, then.

-Well, the Star Baker is...

..Hannah!

THEY CHEER

Help yourself. I am going to put the kettle on.

Can I take them upstairs, please?

Yeah, course you can.

Ooh! What's all this?

I made a plan.

What the hell have you been doing?

We've been looking for you everywhere!

Wow!

Did you do all this, Pete?

Somebody's a lucky girl.

Why are you here?

Oh, now it all makes sense.

The cut fingers, tantrums and key rings.

I made a plan.

I am so sorry!

All day, he's been at it.

Back and forth from the Mill, and now this.

My little brother's obviously got a massive crush on you.

Haven't you, Romeo?

Oh, there you are, Dr Vere.

One minute she was there, chatting about yoga, laughing...

I was laughing, too!

You do not need to do that.

I've never had someone die on me before.

I imagine it was very upsetting.

I've been in the building, sitting in A&E, but...

not like that.

Not in my own room.

I have asked Miss Pitman to reassign your patients this afternoon.

Perhaps you would like to go for a walk?

A walk?

Just to clear your thoughts.

I was laughing.

Isn't that what Evelyn Robinson would have wanted?

Nobody wants to die.

To live a long, active life, then fall asleep. There are worse ways.

What did I do wrong?

Sid.

Stop that.

You were just unlucky.

She-she-she said abdominal pain!

How could I have missed that she was having a heart attack?!

Occasionally, it can present like that.

Especially in older women, but...

..it's not common.

It could have happened to any of us.

Yeah, but it didn't, did it?

It was on me.

So...

You learn from it...

..and you move on.

I...

I need to go back through everything,

and figure out what I should have done differently.

Well, you should, but as far as I'm concerned, your care was exemplary.

No, no... Now. I need to go through it now.

It's a real compliment, Pete,

but I could never date a patient, it's a total no-no.

That's not right.

Get real, Petey-boy, this one's way out of your league.

No! That's not right.

I don't fancy Ayesha.

"Oh, no, I've cut my finger", "I've lost my key ring"?

I DON'T FANCY AYESHA!

OK, Pete, point taken.

So what's all this about, then?

Oh, no way! No, you've...

You've got to be kidding me.

Ayesha can look after you.

I think maybe you were worried

what might happen to Jamie when you moved out.

You could have asked me first!

That's very thoughtful, Pete, but...

Jamie's a patient, too.

Yeah, and FYI, I don't need Pete Carvell Dating Agency

to help me find a girlfriend.

-I already have one.

-Only an Xbox!

-Guys...

-It's true, Pete.

Jamie does have a girlfriend. A real one.

It's...me.

We're really sorry we kept it a secret.

I thought it might upset you.

You might think I was trying to get rid of you.

Why?

Don't know.

Cos of Ashvale, and Mum, and...

Well, cos of how you can be.

I'm not a baby. I made a plan!

Of course you're not, Pete.

But hurting yourself isn't on. Not even as apart of a plan.

Yeah, some plan. One finger gets injured and he has to even it up

by hurting one on the other side.

-Jamie...

-And he has the cheek to try and sort my life out!

You have it, too. He does!

I do not.

All right! All right, I might have a few traits.

That's what Mum said.

It's cute.

It's what makes you you.

Pete?

People really care about you,

so you've got to start looking after yourself.

Yeah, if you want to go to Ashvale.

I love Ashvale.

Then stop acting like an idiot!

Er, while we're talking about idiots,

what about you and Kelly?

I wanted to tell him ages ago. But Jamie...

He's your brother.

OK. Well, you left it a bit late, but you don't know the half of it.

Maybe Asperger's changes things on the surface, but Kelly's right.

What matters deep down is that you two are brothers,

and you've got each other's backs.

Can I still go to Ashvale?

Of course.

If you're sure you want to!

I love Ashvale!

SHE LAUGHS

So, basically today's been about

you two wanting exactly the same thing.

Maybe next time just try saying it. Is it really that hard?

Just looking out for me, weren't you?

Thanks, Petey-boy.

KNOCKING

Oh!

Packing already?

You know when we were talking this morning,

about your future?

I...

I just wanted you to know,

before you leave,

that there's a whole world out there for you,

of fun and friends and excitement.

Things do change,

promise!

So much to look forward to!

It doesn't matter.

I don't really mind what happens to me.

I guess I've never really minded.

I don't think it's going to change.

Good luck, Pete. Can't wait to hear all about your new life.

Keep in touch, yeah?

HER MOBILE RINGS

I DON'T FANCY AYESHA!

SHE LAUGHS

Hi, Sid.

What?

Sorry I'm not the girlfriend you wanted for your brother.

You're not.

But I do really like Jamie.

He only likes thrash metal.

I know!

I'm more of a Justin Bieber fan myself.

Do you remember how pleased she was with your pantomime?

She brought in that cake,

and it had honestly a whole bottle of brandy in it.

-SHE CHUCKLES Trust you to remember that!

-Well...

You know, she gave me a really good tip

when Joe had colic.

Some people, they just...

make everyone feel better.

Here's to you, Mrs Robinson.

To a life well-lived.

And also...

here's to no more of Sid's Septuagenarians patients

dropping down dead,

cos if it continues, young man, it's going to be bad for business!

What did you just say?

Sid...

Look, mate. It happens to us all.

It's good to keep a sense of humour.

There's nothing funny about somebody dying, Al!

A lovely lady stopped breathing over there, just a few feet away.

And all you see is material for a joke!

Calm down, Sid. That's not...

No, no, no, no. This is just typical Al, though, isn't it?

Life, death, work, love. You just laugh it off, don't you?

You need to grow up, young man.

What, I need to grow up?

Do you take anything seriously?

Do you ever stop wittering on,

and just do your job like a professional?

THEY START TO ARGUE

OK, come on. Out. Haskey out. Out.

You heard him!

Sit down.

Come on, Sid. Sit down.

That's it, sit down and take a deep breath.

-HIS BREATH SHAKES

-OK?

Repeat after me.

I am a good doctor.

I am a good doctor.

ENGINE ROARS

-Gorgeous.

-Yes.

No! GORGEOUS.

So tell me, Dr Vere, do you think you made the right decision?

Or do you know you made the wrong one?

Hi.
