0:05:10 > 0:05:12- Then she threw it away! - Don't go on.

0:05:41 > 0:05:44- by the way.- Hey, I hope you didn't say we'd take her on? Paula?
0:05:44 > 0:05:46You know what she's like. You can't say anything to her.

0:09:30 > 0:09:32So...

0:09:48 > 0:09:50What, how can we help Jean Winters?
0:09:50 > 0:09:52What can we do? Short of sticking her dad in a home.
0:09:52 > 0:09:54- They don't want that. - Can they pay for help?
0:09:54 > 0:09:57- I doubt it.- There you go, then.

0:10:47 > 0:10:49So, you're not going to answer because..?
0:10:49 > 0:10:52Because I know why he's ringing. To say, "Sorry, babe. Honest."

0:10:54 > 0:10:58myself telling him, you know, don't worry about clearing up, so...

0:11:52 > 0:11:54Can we talk about Jack Winters and Walter Thomas?
0:11:54 > 0:11:57Winters. Terminal CA, isn't he?
0:11:57 > 0:12:00Yeah, and his wife is nursing him at home, but I've just discovered

0:12:10 > 0:12:12What's the problem?
0:12:12 > 0:12:14Well, his daughter can't look after both of them.
0:12:14 > 0:12:16Well, what can I do about that?
0:12:16 > 0:12:21Precious little, and the sooner his daughter realises that, the better.
0:12:25 > 0:12:28I'm sorry. How many times do I have to apologise?
0:12:28 > 0:12:30I've spent the whole day doing the house -
0:12:30 > 0:12:33- you haven't even said thank you. - You've just pushed the hoover round.

0:12:36 > 0:12:39- What?- I just heard myself. Sorry.
0:12:40 > 0:12:43- Frustrating day. I shouldn't take it out on you.- I'm used to it.

0:18:22 > 0:18:25And it's an oven, Dad, it's not a washing machine!
0:18:25 > 0:18:27OK, why don't we just have a sit down?
0:18:27 > 0:18:30OK? Come on, Mr Thomas... Come on, come and have a sit down.
0:18:30 > 0:18:33I'm 60. I can't spread myself this thin any longer.
0:18:33 > 0:18:36What's all this smoke?
0:18:37 > 0:18:40I can't be doing with this carry-on every bloody day.
0:18:47 > 0:18:48Cuppa?
0:18:50 > 0:18:51Yeah.
0:19:00 > 0:19:03I'm at breaking point. I can't go on like this much longer.
0:19:03 > 0:19:05No one could.
0:19:09 > 0:19:12- I'm just so tired.- Yeah, I can see.
0:19:12 > 0:19:16Listen, I'm going to request a case conference, to get him assessed.
0:19:16 > 0:19:18No. Thanks, but no.
0:19:18 > 0:19:20Well, it's the only way we're going to get any help for you.
0:19:20 > 0:19:23Maybe a carer once a day, someone to help him up in the morning
0:19:23 > 0:19:25or maybe settle him down at night?
0:19:25 > 0:19:26I don't want anyone to...
0:19:29 > 0:19:30What, Jean?
0:19:32 > 0:19:34I don't want anyone to know we need help.
0:19:34 > 0:19:36Why not?
0:19:36 > 0:19:39Because they'll take him away. They'll put him in a home.
0:19:39 > 0:19:42- No, they wouldn't.- They will. The social workers and all that lot.
0:19:42 > 0:19:44It's what they did with my mum.
0:19:44 > 0:19:46Your mum needed full-time nursing. Your dad's just a bit frail.
0:19:46 > 0:19:50I'm not having him... I'm not having him going in one of them places.
0:19:50 > 0:19:51Neither is anybody else.
0:19:51 > 0:19:54That's why we've got to get the assessment done, Jean. OK?
0:19:54 > 0:19:56If you don't get any help, you'll get ill.
0:19:56 > 0:19:58Then what will happen to him? And Jack?
0:19:58 > 0:20:00So, please, just, please, just trust me. OK?
0:20:00 > 0:20:03I will get you the help that you need. By hook or by crook.
0:20:03 > 0:20:07Right. What sort of help are we going to get with these cutbacks?
0:20:07 > 0:20:10Pah! I laugh at cutbacks. I sneer at them.
0:20:18 > 0:20:21So, I can start the wheels rolling?
0:20:21 > 0:20:23If you're sure they're not going to drag him away,
0:20:23 > 0:20:27- kicking and screaming. - I'm sure. I'm positive.
0:20:30 > 0:20:31OK... Thanks.
0:20:31 > 0:20:35When you've finished gassing, I've had bugger all to eat all day.
0:20:36 > 0:20:38Charming(!)
0:20:43 > 0:20:45He was a lovely dad, you know.
0:20:45 > 0:20:47Oh, he still is.
0:20:47 > 0:20:49Yeah, yeah. He tries to be.
0:20:51 > 0:20:53Are you all right?
0:20:53 > 0:20:55Yeah, yeah.
0:20:56 > 0:20:57Well, I'd best get myself sorted.
0:20:57 > 0:21:00I've got another man waiting for me on the other side of town.
0:21:00 > 0:21:02Now you're just boasting!
0:21:02 > 0:21:04- Bye.- Bye-bye.

0:21:50 > 0:21:52Happy music or Leonard Cohen?
0:21:52 > 0:21:55Probably John Cage. Three hours of silence.
0:21:55 > 0:21:57I locked him out.
0:21:57 > 0:21:59- When?- Last night.
0:21:59 > 0:22:04I mean, it was a joke, I didn't mean to... It's kinda hard to explain.
0:22:04 > 0:22:06- What did he do?- Slept in the car.
0:22:06 > 0:22:08- It's not that funny.- Yeah, it is.
0:22:08 > 0:22:10Like the time you threw his car keys in the river.
0:22:10 > 0:22:11I gaily tossed them to him.
0:22:11 > 0:22:13If he's got all the catching skills of a house brick
0:22:13 > 0:22:16- that's not my fault. - The man is a saint. See ya.

0:22:51 > 0:22:54Well, I suppose it would depend on which one.
0:22:54 > 0:22:58No, one of the monsters. The Ancient One.
0:22:58 > 0:22:59Yeah?
0:22:59 > 0:23:01Cos you and him...
0:23:02 > 0:23:03Ah, go on.
0:23:03 > 0:23:06Well, you and him...
0:23:06 > 0:23:08you'd have a lot in common.
0:23:09 > 0:23:11Yes!

0:25:36 > 0:25:39You just told me the care agency couldn't give you any hours.
0:25:39 > 0:25:43So, we'll just kick up a stink. You could request an assessment from occupational therapy.
0:25:43 > 0:25:45I could, but there are more pressing cases,
0:25:45 > 0:25:47people with no relatives at all.
0:25:47 > 0:25:49Well, there's got to be something we can do.
0:25:49 > 0:25:52Why do you always insist there is something we can do?
0:25:52 > 0:25:53Sometimes there isn't.
0:25:53 > 0:25:55Apart from putting the old guy into a care home.
0:25:55 > 0:25:58Then we're back where we started. He won't go. She doesn't want that.
0:25:58 > 0:26:00You do realise, the longer you indulge this old man,
0:26:00 > 0:26:02the more pressure you put on his daughter?
0:26:02 > 0:26:05Well, his wife went into care, and it wasn't a good experience.
0:26:05 > 0:26:06This isn't a good experience.
0:26:06 > 0:26:10Sitting in there, listening to aches and pains and people with bad

0:26:53 > 0:26:54Not more wooze, is it?
0:26:54 > 0:26:56It's just going on and on this time.
0:26:56 > 0:26:59Usually she's poorly for a few days, but this time...
0:26:59 > 0:27:01Ever had a diagnosis?
0:27:01 > 0:27:04We've been to three different GPs and they all say the same.
0:27:04 > 0:27:07"It's a virus," "It'll go when it goes," etc, etc.
0:27:07 > 0:27:09The old virus cop-out, eh?
0:27:10 > 0:27:12She's not her usual, happy self, either.
0:27:12 > 0:27:14I am!
0:27:14 > 0:27:18OK, um, how about I get you an appointment with a consultant?
0:27:20 > 0:27:22Do you think it's that serious?
0:27:22 > 0:27:24Probably not, but it's beginning to worry you, isn't it?
0:27:24 > 0:27:27So may as well find out once and for all.
0:27:27 > 0:27:30Right then, I'm going to order myself a big fat cream cake
0:27:30 > 0:27:33and you are not to tell anyone, OK?
0:27:41 > 0:27:43Paediatrics, please.
0:27:44 > 0:27:47Hi, could I talk to Mr Lasco?
0:27:47 > 0:27:49Frankie Maddox.
0:28:01 > 0:28:03Morning, sir.
0:28:03 > 0:28:06What the hell do you want?
0:28:09 > 0:28:11It's me, Frankie.
0:28:11 > 0:28:13Get out of my bloody house!
0:28:13 > 0:28:16It's me, Mr Thomas, the district nurse.
0:28:16 > 0:28:17Bugger off, I don't want you here!
0:28:17 > 0:28:21- Look, I've got to give you your insulin, OK?- Get out! Get out!
0:28:21 > 0:28:22Get out!
0:28:25 > 0:28:27- OK...- That'll teach you.
0:28:27 > 0:28:29- I was in the Army, you know. - OK, OK, I'm going!
0:28:29 > 0:28:33I'm not one of your poor old codgers that you can rob.
0:28:39 > 0:28:41HE SOBS
0:28:43 > 0:28:45- Life's never dull, is it? - Oh, I'm so sorry.
0:28:45 > 0:28:47It's all right. It's not your fault.
0:28:47 > 0:28:50No, I stopped to talk to Dr Evans, and I'm later than usual.
0:28:50 > 0:28:53Maybe... Maybe his blood sugar's low?
0:28:53 > 0:28:56It's not your fault. Look, he gets like this.
0:28:56 > 0:28:58Oh, Jean. That is awful.
0:28:58 > 0:29:01It's only just started. Well, a few weeks ago.
0:29:02 > 0:29:04Well, I wish you'd told us.
0:29:04 > 0:29:07I meant to, but he's my dad. How could I?
0:29:07 > 0:29:10- He doesn't even know he's doing it. - This can't go on, Jean.
0:29:10 > 0:29:14- Look, I can manage.- No, I'm going to have to speak to Social Services.
0:29:14 > 0:29:17No, that's why I didn't tell you. I don't want them barging in.
0:29:17 > 0:29:18I have no choice!
0:29:18 > 0:29:21You know, what if he hits a child, or somebody hits him back?
0:29:21 > 0:29:24He never goes out! He wouldn't get the chance. Well, that's it.
0:29:24 > 0:29:25They'll just lock him up now.
0:29:25 > 0:29:29- No, it won't come to that. - Look, he hates those places.
0:29:29 > 0:29:31It broke his heart when he couldn't manage my mum anymore
0:29:31 > 0:29:34and we'd go to visit her every day, and it was terrible.
0:29:34 > 0:29:37She was never in her own clothes,
0:29:37 > 0:29:39they'd say hers were in the wash or lost...
0:29:39 > 0:29:43And she was just so sad, like all the life went out of her.
0:29:43 > 0:29:46She lost loads of weight, and we knew she wasn't eating
0:29:46 > 0:29:50and nobody cared, and he'll go downhill just like she did.
0:29:55 > 0:29:57Butter wouldn't melt.
0:29:59 > 0:30:00He nursed my mum for years.
0:30:00 > 0:30:02And now, when he needs looking after...
0:30:02 > 0:30:05You're doing a great job, and he thinks the world of you.
0:30:05 > 0:30:07I couldn't bear to see him go into a home.
0:30:07 > 0:30:11Please, don't tell anybody about this. Please.
0:30:15 > 0:30:19OK, but he needs to be assessed.
0:30:19 > 0:30:22No, because once they get their foot in the door...
0:30:22 > 0:30:25Please, just... Just leave things as they are. Please?
0:30:29 > 0:30:30THEY LAUGH
0:30:30 > 0:30:33What? It's a veg. It's hot.
0:30:33 > 0:30:35Stop looking at me like that!
0:30:35 > 0:30:37If she'd got into good habits when she was younger...
0:30:37 > 0:30:41- Too late now.- 36, start checking for osteoporosis soon.
0:30:41 > 0:30:45- Chubby people don't usually get it. - Er, hello! What is this?
0:30:45 > 0:30:46Good morning?
0:30:46 > 0:30:48Great, thanks, why?
0:30:48 > 0:30:50I've had a hell of a time.
0:30:50 > 0:30:53If I'd known it was all leg ulcers and ingrown toenails...
0:30:53 > 0:30:56Sometimes I wonder why I didn't go into midwifery.
0:30:56 > 0:30:59All those screaming women? No thanks.
0:31:08 > 0:31:09How did you do it?
0:31:09 > 0:31:10What?
0:31:10 > 0:31:13- You know fine well what. - What, this? It's nothing.
0:31:13 > 0:31:15- So how did you do it?- Walked into a door. No, really, I did.
0:31:22 > 0:31:24OK. Which door?
0:31:25 > 0:31:26In confidence?
0:31:26 > 0:31:28If that's what it takes.
0:31:28 > 0:31:32I'm a bit shaken, actually. I did walk into a door.
0:31:32 > 0:31:34But I was sort of knocked into it. He didn't mean to.
0:31:34 > 0:31:37Please, tell me it wasn't Ian.
0:31:37 > 0:31:40Ian? Good God, no. Mr Thomas.
0:31:40 > 0:31:42If it was Ian he'd be in ITU by now.
0:31:42 > 0:31:45- Mr Thomas.- Yes, he was probably a bit light-headed, needed insulin,
0:31:45 > 0:31:46gets a bit confused.
0:31:46 > 0:31:49Whoa, whoa, hang on, what's all this "in confidence" stuff?
0:31:49 > 0:31:52- You have filed an incident report? - No, there's no need. It's nothing.
0:31:52 > 0:31:55- And have you told anyone at all?- No!
0:31:56 > 0:31:59Franks! You cannae pretend this hasn't happened.
0:31:59 > 0:32:01He's old and confused and I startled him.
0:32:01 > 0:32:05Then make a note of it. Make sure everyone else knows.
0:32:05 > 0:32:09- There's no need. He's a big softie, really.- Sit down.
0:32:09 > 0:32:11What? Oh, come on, I'm not concussed.
0:32:14 > 0:32:17So something happens tomorrow. Right?
0:32:17 > 0:32:19You're ill, one of the others goes to visit him...
0:32:19 > 0:32:21Talk about overkill.
0:32:21 > 0:32:23Don't you think you owe it to them to warn them?
0:32:23 > 0:32:24I won't be ill, I'm never ill.
0:32:24 > 0:32:28- Or if he hurts someone else and you've done nothing to stop him?!- He won't.
0:32:28 > 0:32:30Or hurts himself? Lashes out at someone not quite as understanding?
0:32:30 > 0:32:32I've gone through this with Jean, OK?
0:32:32 > 0:32:35He doesn't go anywhere, he doesn't see anyone.
0:32:35 > 0:32:36This is great(!)
0:32:36 > 0:32:39Everyone else knows where to draw the line, but Frankie Maddox,
0:32:39 > 0:32:40oh, no.
0:32:40 > 0:32:42I don't want to make things worse.
0:32:42 > 0:32:45You have to protect the team, Frankie,
0:32:45 > 0:32:47and you have to protect yourself.
0:32:47 > 0:32:48OK, if it happens again...
0:32:54 > 0:32:56Hopeless. Bloody hopeless.
0:32:59 > 0:33:00Get him assessed.
0:33:01 > 0:33:04It's the least you should do.
0:33:20 > 0:33:25Hey, Ruby Red Shoes, I've just made a very special appointment for you.
0:33:25 > 0:33:29Mum's crying. She's been trying to get you.
0:33:29 > 0:33:31Something's gone wrong. I'm bleeding.
0:33:31 > 0:33:35OK. That might be nothing to worry about. How much?
0:33:35 > 0:33:38Um, it looks like a lot.
0:33:40 > 0:33:42OK. No big panic, OK? Deep breaths. Deep breaths.
0:33:42 > 0:33:44It's going to be all right.
0:33:44 > 0:33:45I'm sorry to be a nuisance.
0:33:45 > 0:33:47No, you're not. That's why I'm here.
0:34:09 > 0:34:12There you go.
0:34:12 > 0:34:13Hello, Molly.
0:34:13 > 0:34:16I thought you said you didn't know if it was a boy or a girl.
0:34:16 > 0:34:19- We don't.- The minute they told me, I just knew.
0:34:20 > 0:34:22(Don't say a word.)
0:34:28 > 0:34:29OK?
0:34:34 > 0:34:36Hey, Andy. Any problems?
0:34:36 > 0:34:40No, none at all. We've split your calls up between us. How's the mum?
0:34:40 > 0:34:42Dying for a cup of tea.
0:34:42 > 0:34:45You're driving a patient?
0:34:45 > 0:34:48No. Yes. Off duty. Don't go on...
0:34:48 > 0:34:51So, I've got Ruby an appointment with paediatrics tomorrow,
0:34:51 > 0:34:54and, do you know, she waved to the new baby today,
0:34:54 > 0:34:57and I think that new baby might just have waved back!
0:34:57 > 0:35:00- And how's your head? - Fine, thanks, how's yours?
0:35:00 > 0:35:01- Ruby?- She's asleep.
0:35:03 > 0:35:05Ruby...
0:35:05 > 0:35:07Ruby...
0:35:07 > 0:35:09Ruby...Ruby!
0:35:11 > 0:35:13Andy, hold on, don't hang up.
0:35:13 > 0:35:15She's not breathing. Oh, my God!
0:35:15 > 0:35:16Andy, can you hear this?
0:35:16 > 0:35:19Yeah, where are you? I'll call the paramedics.
0:35:19 > 0:35:21We've hit some traffic...Hello?
0:35:21 > 0:35:23Frankie, speak to me.
0:35:23 > 0:35:25Oh, damn it.
0:35:25 > 0:35:27Oh, God! Help us.
0:35:29 > 0:35:31Undo the belt.
0:35:31 > 0:35:32Is she dead? Oh, God!
0:35:32 > 0:35:34Please, no. Please no, no...
0:35:38 > 0:35:41Hey there, Ruby Tuesday! Hey, she's back with us.
0:35:41 > 0:35:43Thank God, thank God.
0:35:43 > 0:35:45No, no, no, lie still, Ruby, it's all right, just lie still.
0:35:45 > 0:35:49Oh, no, she's gone again - Ruby, wake up. Ruby, wake up!
0:35:50 > 0:35:53- 'Emergency, which emergency service do you require?'- Ambulance.
0:35:53 > 0:35:56'Emergency ambulance, tell me exactly what happened.'
0:35:56 > 0:35:59This is a cardiac arrest call. I'm Lead District Nurse Frankie Maddox,
0:35:59 > 0:36:02I'm on the Colton Dual Carriageway with an eight-year-old child in cardiac arrest.
0:36:02 > 0:36:05Request paramedics or police escort. Please advise.
0:36:05 > 0:36:06'One moment, please.'
0:36:07 > 0:36:09I'm a first aider. Can I help?
0:36:09 > 0:36:11Chest compressions, I'll do mouth to mouth. You're on six.
0:36:11 > 0:36:1324 more, please.
0:36:13 > 0:36:16'This is ambulance despatch, we have a paramedic on the way to you.
0:36:16 > 0:36:18'Which side of the dual carriageway are you on?'
0:36:18 > 0:36:20Eastbound. We're stuck in traffic.
0:36:20 > 0:36:22'We're doing everything we can to get through.'
0:36:31 > 0:36:3330 more, please. Nelly The Elephant.
0:36:33 > 0:36:36Can you look out for the ambulance for me, please?
0:36:36 > 0:36:39OK, we've got respiration and heartbeat.
0:36:41 > 0:36:43OK. We're going to come in under our own steam.
0:36:43 > 0:36:45'A police car and an ambulance are on the way.'
0:36:45 > 0:36:47Sorry. We can't wait.
0:36:47 > 0:36:49OK, sweetheart, we're going to get you back into the car.
0:36:49 > 0:36:52You get in. One, two, three - help.
0:37:01 > 0:37:03Can you clear a lane for me? Cheers.
0:37:05 > 0:37:08Come on, pull over. Over here.
0:37:08 > 0:37:11Come on, move. Come on - move!
0:37:11 > 0:37:13Move over!
0:37:13 > 0:37:15Come on, move! In there, in there...
0:37:17 > 0:37:20In there. Go. Come on, move!
0:37:22 > 0:37:24How far's the hospital?
0:37:24 > 0:37:27At this rate, three minutes off the next roundabout.
0:37:39 > 0:37:43Heather! I've got you.
0:38:11 > 0:38:13'Hi, you're through to Andy. Please leave a message.'
0:38:13 > 0:38:17Hey, Andy. We made it.
0:38:19 > 0:38:21They've got her all wired up...
0:38:21 > 0:38:26but they're 90% sure it's super ventricular tachycardia.
0:38:26 > 0:38:29They're going to give her a pacemaker tomorrow.
0:38:51 > 0:38:52I am bloody starving.
0:38:52 > 0:38:54Shall we go out for a steak?
0:38:55 > 0:38:58All right. 'Fess up. What you done?
0:38:58 > 0:39:00- What?- You never cook.
0:39:00 > 0:39:01Oh, I do so.
0:39:01 > 0:39:05No, not dinner, dinner. Pasta and crap, but not, not proper dinner.
0:39:05 > 0:39:08Well, maybe I've turned over a new leaf.
0:39:08 > 0:39:11No, seriously, Franks, what you done?
0:39:13 > 0:39:15Well, it's my birthday tomorrow.
0:39:15 > 0:39:18And I know you'll have arranged a lovely surprise for me.
0:39:18 > 0:39:20Who told you?
0:39:20 > 0:39:22I don't know what the surprise is,
0:39:22 > 0:39:27but...there's always a surprise...usually a party.
0:39:27 > 0:39:30- Bit predictable, eh? - No, nothing wrong with that.
0:39:30 > 0:39:33I just want to make a fuss of you, before you make a fuss of me...
0:39:33 > 0:39:35because I love you.
0:39:36 > 0:39:38Ah, babe.
0:40:10 > 0:40:14"Frankie, you are the wind beneath my wings.
0:40:14 > 0:40:18"You make everything possible and even the grey days bright.
0:40:20 > 0:40:23"Now get up and get rid of that curry stain.
0:40:24 > 0:40:27"All my love, for ever and a day, Ian."
0:40:32 > 0:40:35I don't think you should tell me off in front of everyone, Mary.
0:40:35 > 0:40:38I'm not telling you off, I'm trying to explain to you why it matters.
0:40:38 > 0:40:41I thought there was a system for official warnings and things.
0:40:41 > 0:40:44Get over yourselves, girls. Who's on about any sort of warning?
0:40:44 > 0:40:46I thought you'd all be out on the road by now.
0:40:46 > 0:40:49We've got to make home visits to five clinic patients from yesterday.
0:40:49 > 0:40:51She forgot to take the specimens to the labs.
0:40:51 > 0:40:54Why did you say "forgot" like that? Like "forgot"?
0:40:55 > 0:40:57Oh, happy birthday, chick.
0:40:57 > 0:41:00- Happy birthday.- Yeah, happy birthday, Frankie.- Thank you.
0:41:00 > 0:41:02Here you go, here's a big silly card and a pressie.
0:41:02 > 0:41:04- Oh, thank you. Can I save it for tonight?- Yeah.
0:41:04 > 0:41:06Thank you.
0:41:08 > 0:41:10Where could they be?
0:41:11 > 0:41:13Are you still here?
0:41:13 > 0:41:16No, I'm on the by-pass, getting a speeding ticket. I've lost them.
0:41:16 > 0:41:18How could I lose them?
0:41:18 > 0:41:20If it's the mileage claims, they're all done.
0:41:20 > 0:41:23What? Entered and everything?
0:41:23 > 0:41:24Mm-hm.
0:41:24 > 0:41:26Timesheets and monthly reports too,
0:41:26 > 0:41:28while you were being heroic on the by-pass.
0:41:28 > 0:41:30- I love you, Nurse Peat.- I know.
0:41:30 > 0:41:32So are you going to manage to have a couple of hours off
0:41:32 > 0:41:34and enjoy your birthday?
0:41:34 > 0:41:36Oh, yeah, later. I said I'd call in on Heather.
0:41:36 > 0:41:37Take her a nightie and stuff.
0:41:37 > 0:41:40And they're starting Mr Thomas's assessment today, so...
0:41:40 > 0:41:41Miracles and wonders!
0:41:41 > 0:41:43What? I do listen to you sometimes, you know.
0:41:43 > 0:41:45So you filled in an incident report form?
0:41:45 > 0:41:47- No need. It was an accident. - No, it wasn't.- Shut up.
0:41:47 > 0:41:49You want them to assess him with half the information!
0:41:49 > 0:41:52I refer the honourable member to my earlier response.
0:41:52 > 0:41:55Could you, er, could you call the Army?
0:41:55 > 0:41:58Aye. I'll ring Whitehall right away. It's one-two one-two, isn't it?
0:41:58 > 0:42:01He's in Afghanistan, Stephen Hales. How hard can it be?
0:42:01 > 0:42:03Do you even know which regiment he's in?
0:42:03 > 0:42:04Yes. He disarms bombs and IEDs.
0:42:04 > 0:42:08But you, you, don't go putting yourself out for him!
0:42:12 > 0:42:15They're going on half-hour BP checks. That's good.
0:42:15 > 0:42:16Yeah, thanks for telling them.
0:42:16 > 0:42:19And Ruby will soon be a bionic super-woman.
0:42:19 > 0:42:24- Right, from now on I don't want you to budge from this bed.- And Ruby?
0:42:24 > 0:42:25You can take it in turns.
0:42:25 > 0:42:28- They won't mind?- Are you kidding? Two people in one bed?
0:42:28 > 0:42:33If the bosses find out, it'll be an NHS directive this time next week.
0:42:35 > 0:42:37Are you sure you can give us all this time?
0:42:37 > 0:42:38Mm-hm. Positive.
0:42:39 > 0:42:42And, er, it might make up a tiddly bit for being
0:42:42 > 0:42:44so slow to get Ruby to a consultant.
0:42:44 > 0:42:46Like I said, she wasn't your patient.
0:42:46 > 0:42:48The world is my patient.
0:42:52 > 0:42:55Come on, Ruby - you're on!
0:42:57 > 0:43:00She'll be out before you know it. Here you go.
0:43:13 > 0:43:17You can relax now. She's on the mend.
0:43:18 > 0:43:21- Go on. Go home. We're fine.- OK.
0:43:23 > 0:43:24You've got my number?
0:43:24 > 0:43:26Yeah. Go on. It's all done.
0:43:26 > 0:43:27I'll pop back in the morning.
0:43:27 > 0:43:31We'll be home by then. Good night, goodbye, and thank you.
0:43:40 > 0:43:43Hi Andy, she's back in the ward and looking good.
0:43:43 > 0:43:44What a relief!
0:43:44 > 0:43:47'Where have you been, Franks? We've been trying to get you.'
0:43:47 > 0:43:49Had my phone off, didn't I?
0:43:49 > 0:43:51'We've had a call from Mr Thomas's daughter.
0:43:51 > 0:43:54'She's in a real state, Frankie. They started the assessment.'
0:43:54 > 0:43:57What, already? That's annoying, I promised that I'd...
0:43:57 > 0:43:59'..Be there. Yes. Jean said.
0:43:59 > 0:44:02- 'Just get a move on. The old guy's kicking off.'- OK.
0:44:07 > 0:44:08Stop them - don't let them.
0:44:08 > 0:44:10- What are you doing? - Please keep calm.
0:44:10 > 0:44:12They're locking him up.
0:44:12 > 0:44:14We're taking him into care under Section 4 of the Mental Health Act.
0:44:14 > 0:44:17- Don't make it any harder.- Where are you taking him?- St Joseph's.
0:44:17 > 0:44:19You promised me this wouldn't happen.
0:44:19 > 0:44:21He's very disoriented. He didn't know his daughter.
0:44:21 > 0:44:24- He picked a knife up and threatened us.- Yes, but he was confused!
0:44:24 > 0:44:27- He didn't mean it.- Very confused, yes. We can't leave him here.
0:44:27 > 0:44:29OK, look, this is just an emergency,
0:44:29 > 0:44:31not the full 28 days -
0:44:31 > 0:44:33just let him go for now and we'll sort it out, OK?
0:44:33 > 0:44:35Why are they taking me away?
0:44:36 > 0:44:39I'm sorry, Mr Thomas. We can't leave you in the house alone.
0:44:39 > 0:44:42But Jeanie's here. My Jeanie.
0:44:43 > 0:44:45Aren't you, lovely? Tell them.
0:44:46 > 0:44:48Jean's got to go home.
0:44:48 > 0:44:52Liar! She wouldn't leave me all alone.
0:44:52 > 0:44:53Well, her husband needs her.
0:44:54 > 0:44:58I need her. Stuff him. He can make his own tea.
0:44:59 > 0:45:03Jeanie! I don't want to go!
0:45:06 > 0:45:07Let him get settled in.
0:45:07 > 0:45:10Seeing you like this is only going to upset him.
0:45:16 > 0:45:18Oh, God...
0:45:18 > 0:45:19I'm sorry. I shouldn't have.
0:45:19 > 0:45:22This is the only thing we can do.
0:45:22 > 0:45:24Stop them. You promised...
0:45:25 > 0:45:27You cow.
0:45:27 > 0:45:30You right royal cow.
0:45:53 > 0:45:56That is the last message I run for you.

0:48:28 > 0:48:30Every seven minutes.

0:48:33 > 0:48:35Heather, you need to be in maternity.
0:48:35 > 0:48:39- They're waiting for us. - Look at you. Been Gok Wanned!
0:48:39 > 0:48:40Oh, wow.
0:48:42 > 0:48:44'You really have tracked him down?'
0:48:44 > 0:48:46Yeah, he's already on his way home.
0:48:46 > 0:48:48Soon as they heard there was a concern about her BP.
0:48:48 > 0:48:51That's great. But where is he now?
0:48:51 > 0:48:55Somewhere between Afghanistan and Brize Norton and here.
0:48:55 > 0:48:58Not good enough. Does he know about Ruby's pacemaker?
0:48:58 > 0:48:59'No, how could he?'
0:48:59 > 0:49:01Do they not have phones?
0:49:01 > 0:49:04He's been on an Army transport plane. She's been in hospital.
0:49:04 > 0:49:06'Well, I'm not leaving until Stephen gets here.'
0:49:06 > 0:49:08I don't know what you want me to do about it.

0:49:11 > 0:49:13get someone to meet him when he lands. I don't know!
0:49:13 > 0:49:15The plan is he'll get a train.
0:49:15 > 0:49:18That means he could be here by the morning. This is my fault.
0:49:18 > 0:49:22'I mean it, I'm not leaving her alone.'
0:49:22 > 0:49:24Going to give it a rest with the guilt thing?

0:55:37 > 0:55:39- Why would they do that? - Well, why not?
0:55:41 > 0:55:43You're drunk on emotion. Have you spoken to Ian?
0:55:43 > 0:55:46Not for a bit. Is he a bit pissed off?
0:55:46 > 0:55:48- Make the call.- He is, isn't he?
0:55:48 > 0:55:52And here's me practising how to say "Yes, please" all week.
0:55:52 > 0:55:53What?
0:55:54 > 0:55:57He was going to propose. I found the ring.
0:55:57 > 0:56:02Oh, bloody hell. No, seriously, Franks, make the call.
0:56:02 > 0:56:06Nah, better face to face.
0:56:06 > 0:56:09He'll shout a bit and then he'll see the funny side.
0:56:14 > 0:56:15It'll be fine.
0:56:37 > 0:56:39I know you're upset...
0:56:45 > 0:56:48I know you're disappointed, and I'm really sorry.
0:56:48 > 0:56:52I mean, I'm really, really, really, sorry. I can't say it enough.
0:56:54 > 0:56:55But it's like you said, isn't it?
0:56:55 > 0:56:58We understand each other's work. Don't we?
0:57:02 > 0:57:03Ian?
0:57:06 > 0:57:08Are you there?
0:57:11 > 0:57:12Ian?
0:57:12 > 0:57:16You, er... You haven't listened to your messages yet?
0:57:16 > 0:57:19What? No. It's all been mad and a bit...
0:57:20 > 0:57:22..bloody marvellous this end.
0:57:24 > 0:57:25Why?
0:57:27 > 0:57:31'Ian? Sweetheart? Ian?'
0:57:35 > 0:57:39# Frankie and Johnny, yeah, they were lovers
0:57:39 > 0:57:41# Oh, how that girl loved that guy
0:57:43 > 0:57:45# One day a brand new, female girl
0:57:45 > 0:57:48# Gave Frankie's guy the eye
0:57:50 > 0:57:54# He was her man but he did her wrong. #
0:57:58 > 0:58:01Where the hell have you been?
0:58:01 > 0:58:03Didn't see how slaughtered she got on your birthday, did you?
0:58:03 > 0:58:06- Every cloud... - She was wasted, oh, yeah!
0:58:06 > 0:58:08- Shut your mouth, Karen. - I need to tell you something.
0:58:08 > 0:58:11Hey, hey, hey. You're going to get flattened. Who's the woman?
0:58:13 > 0:58:15No-one you know.
0:58:15 > 0:58:18- What's happened?- I'll be fine. I'm feeling better.
0:58:18 > 0:58:21Can you make him understand he needs to be in cardiac care?
0:58:21 > 0:58:22If she'd gone into a hospice a week ago,
0:58:22 > 0:58:24maybe he wouldn't have had a heart attack.
0:58:24 > 0:58:26And don't think this is the end of it.
0:58:26 > 0:58:29If the CPS are not prosecuting, the primary cause of death...
0:58:29 > 0:58:31Don't think it's the end of it for you.
