Oh, no!
Dammit, dammit, dammit.
Oh, um... Morning.
Um... Ryan?
You're not a doctor, are you?
No. Great. OK, well...
Thanks. That was fun.
Just, um, let yourself out.
Hey!
Hey, what you doing?
You idiot!
Did you just call me an idiot? Yeah!
Well, I think you'll find I had right of way
and you don't actually own this road.
And you know what, abusing fellow road users
isn't very constructive, is it?
Ow!
Thank you!
Charlie.
Hey, good to have you back.
How are you?
Good. I popped round to Ethan's after you phoned me.
Poor thing was in bits.
Bet you wish you were back in Morecombe.
So how was it?
Did he sweep you off your feet?
Me and Paul are just friends, sort of.
He's temping up in Clinical Support today
so I said I'd meet him for lunch.
Although, Charlotte has said that she's marrying him, so...
I'm thinking she might have some competition there.
Charlie. What?
Seems like a waste, don't it?
I take it I'm with Jess today.
You'll want to show the new lad around. What's his name?
Theodore.
And no, I've put him with Jess instead. You've got me.
There you are!
I was thinking I'd got the wrong day.
Wow! This is impressive, Auntie Jan.
At work I'm your boss and you will speak to me as such.
Iain, this is Theodore.
Teddy. Nice to meet you. That rubbish?
Here, I'll bin it for you. Look, just leave it.
Go in there, get changed, be out in five minutes.
Off you go. See you, mate.
All right, best get to it, Auntie Jan.
HR have been in touch with the details of your training meeting.
Um, it's off-site so, um... I can't remember the address.
I'm going to email it to you. Where are the rotas?
They're online. I think I sent you the password. No?
Well, I'll get that to you along with the address for today.
So what's with the Acting Clinical Lead title?
Are you waiting on interview or..?
No. No, I just prefer the medical to this. Whatever this is.
Um... Were you given a lanyard by the way?
OK, so I would like you to...
OK, so you should probably wear that until your pass arrives.
..right now and then...
Um, Cadogan!
Stevie?
What are you doing here?
I only work here.
New consultant, baby!
Oh, oh, oh, oh!
Why? Does Emma still live down here?
No, no, she's up north now, work.
So how's the brood? How's Lev, the old Neanderthal?
Um, yeah, kids are fine.
Lev is...dead.
Serious?
That was Lev? Um... Faith, I'm so sorry, I...
It's fine. No, honestly, I had no idea.
Why would you?
I mean, it's been ages.
He must've driven off at some speed to dislocate your shoulder?
Yeah. Well...though...
No, they pop out quite easily. I've got hypermobility.
But, hey, once this kicks in, I will just pop it back in,
and then you guys can head off.
I don't think so, love. You're going to need an X-ray,
so it's best we take you to the hospital.
No, I don't... Ah! Um...
OK, why not?
But please, can I just pop it back in before we go?
I know what I'm doing.
OK. Have a slug of gas and air.
Oh.
Right, all set? Mm-hm.
Head back.
Right, bit more.
Bit more, bit more.
Ah! Oh! Wow!
Look at that, eh? Done a better job than you'd have done.
I'm sorry, sweetheart. You can see Katie another night, OK?
Ana and Luka could go to Grandma's.
I just think it's too soon, you know? It's only been a month.
I thought...
I thought maybe we could have a kind of...kind of Dad-night.
You know, we could make pancakes and... It's just...
..I think Ana and Luka were looking forward to getting out.
I know, but at times like this,
it's best that we're together as a family, OK?
Listen, have to go. I love you, OK? Bye.
If you haven't got that banister fixed by next week,
I'll be coming round to sort it myself, OK?
Aw, thanks, love. No worries, take care.
I can't see what it is, but I'll chase it up.
Oi, mate!
You best stay away from my mum or you'll have me to answer to,
do you understand?
Your mum?
I don't know what you're talking about, chum.
Yeah, course you don't. I know what you're playing at.
Whoa, whoa! Teddy, this is Charlie Fairhead.
You can't talk to him like that!
He's been leading my mum on,
sniffing around her on this dating site. He's trying to con her!
So we didn't really do anything, did we?
She used the Davos method and the shoulder went back in first attempt.
Amazing!
Right, I'll be back in a second.
They'll get you sorted now, love.
How are you doing? How's the kids?
Oh, you know, I'm doing what the counsellor says,
which is letting them know they can talk about him,
but all I get is "Can we stay at Gran's?"
and "Can I go out tonight?"
Well, if you ever find yourself on your own and...
..well, you want some grown-up company.
Thank you, but I've let them know
that we're having a family night tonight.
You know, it's important to have that quality time together.
Yeah, yeah. Of course, yeah. Well, you know where I am.
All right, see you later. Thanks.
Thanks. Jan. Thank you.
Hey, Lily, how are you feeling?
Yeah, I'm all good, I'm ready to rock and roll.
That's great. Do you mind taking your arm
out of that sling for me, please?
Are you all right? The police said you'd been in an accident.
Um, yeah, I'm fine, honestly.
This is my brother, Frank.
Hi!
I told you I'd make it and you didn't believe me, did you?
I wonder why that is.
And technically, we're not there yet. so...
How is she? Do you think we'll be long?
She's going to be all right, but we do need to do an X-ray.
We're meant to be in the care home in two hours.
It's our dad's birthday, she's come back especially.
The home were laying on a lunch
and we'll still have to pay for it, even if we miss it. Ah.
Don't worry. We'll make it, right?
Um...
Let me see what I can do.
Maybe it's just somebody who looks like him.
Everybody's got a double somewhere, right?
Right, so his double is also a nurse in Holby called Charlie?
I've been crayfished.
You mean catfished? Oh, come off it, mate!
So, what have you got to say for yourself?
There are three or four other women that I know of.
And I'm really sorry that your mum's become one of them.
Yeah. You can tell that to the police.
Ah, you suit yourself.
Excuse me. Some of us have got work to do.
Is he being serious?
Theodore? I'm coming.
So...
..have you had the funeral yet?
Yep, last week.
Must be hard.
A little bit.
Is this rota up-to-date? Are these all the consultants on today?
Hey, Faith. Hi.
Everything all right? You bearing up?
Yes, I'm fine, thank you.
If there's anything I can do, anything at all,
you just say the word. Thank you.
"Anything at all. Tea? Sympathy? Single malt?"
There's nothing wrong with a bit of kindness, Stevie.
Or sensitivity.
Hey! I can do sensitive.
Stevie Nash, new consultant. Hi.
Hi. Hi.
Jade, did cubicle 12's results come in yet?
Yeah, should be on your tablet.
How are you doing? You sure you should be back already?
I could ask you the same.
The department can't cover me and Ethan,
and I think he needs the time more than I do.
Phwoar!
Do you not have any filter?
You know the answer to that.
Hey, how do you fancy lunch?
You can give me the skinny on who's hot and who's not.
No, I've nearly finished my shift,
and then I need to get home right away.
Wait, do you two know each other?
Darling, we go way back.
So, she was selling this hangover cure to... Hey!
Sorry, "energy drink," to the F1s
cos, you know, let's face it, what we were paid
wouldn't keep us in whisky.
Anyway, there was this one night,
and I'm not saying she hadn't had any sleep,
but she took a tiny little... Stevie, Stevie! No.
I don't think anybody's interested in the past.
Speak for yourself.
Oh! Who fancies a posh coffee, my treat?
She's awesome.
Yeah, she's great.
Bit early for lunch, innit?
Um... What?
You don't know anything about Charlie
still being catfished, do you?
"Catfished"?
You know, pretending to be him,
confessing undying love to loads of different women at the same time?
Hardly loads - six, seven.
12 tops.
You should see some of the things they write!
Offering him all sorts - and I'm not just talking about money.
You haven't taken anything, though, right?
Let's just say we've got Sheila to thank
for that fancy dinner in Morecambe.
Or was it Penny?
I don't know, that's the trouble,
they all merge into one after a while.
What's the matter?!
You've been fleecing old ladies!
You've been using my friend.
How do you think Charlie feels?
I don't know, Robyn.
Maybe you should have thought about that
before you set up the profile in the first place.
I did it to help him.
If I'd known you were going to exploit people...
Nobody's forcing them.
They've got a few bob, we haven't. It's economics.
No, it's not. It's dishonest, it's unkind, it's...
It's stealing. And I don't want to be a part of that.
And I don't want Charlie to be either.
All right, well...
If it'll make you happy, I'll delete the app now.
There. Are we better now?
Well, look, thank you for everything.
I just really want to get back to my van.
Yeah, so X-rays look OK.
Right. Well, obviously you can't drive with that shoulder.
Well, I can't just leave it there. It's my home.
Well, can your brother not go and get it for you or...?
No! I don't let anyone else drive it.
It's like my baby.
Um...if it was your baby, you'd let someone else look after it.
It's a van. Well, it's not just the van...
Yeah. Yeah, it's your home, I get it, but...
It's my dad!
He's in the back.
Hey, what's this I hear about you having a pop at Charlie Fairhead?
Auntie Jan, I didn't, I just...
I thought he'd been trying to rip off Mum.
Your mother is a gullible fool,
but if anybody's trying to rip her off, it's not Charlie.
So... He's sort of a big deal, is he?
If you get off on the wrong foot with him,
you get off on the wrong foot with the whole department.
And what have I told you about calling me "Auntie"?!
I was, like, 200 miles away
and he just dropped it into conversation,
like, "Oh, did I mention, um, Dad's in a home now!"
Some care home's are great.
If you're, like, 90 or you can't look after yourself or whatever,
but Dad's 61.
It's like Frank just wants him out the way.
Hm. You don't just put somebody in a home cos they're inconvenient.
Yeah, well...
He's got early-onset dementia, but you wouldn't know if you met him.
He just forgets a bit sometimes.
Actually, I need to get back to him, so...
Faith's going to phone the police. They'll look after him.
Great. Yeah, that's great.
And then they'll just take him straight back to the home
and he can spend the rest of his birthday
singing Roll Out The Barrel with old people.
It's just not Dad.
You know, he would much rather spend his birthday down the pub.
So you were just going to get him hammered?
I'm not completely irresponsible.
He used to work on a fair until he retired, like, last year,
so I was taking him for a go on the waltzers
and then fish and chips.
And, yeah, maybe a drink or two.
Charlie, the guy in cubicle four,
his blood results came back all normal.
OK, so we'll get his TTA meds sorted and then he's good to go.
Thanks, Sue.
What happened with the new paramedic?
Did his mum call the police?
I'll bet you a tenner she'll have forgotten all about it
by this time next week.
I suppose you could look at it that,
if you were ready to start dating again...
But I'm not, so...
..makes no difference.
Where you going?
I've got that training thing.
Ask Dylan.
Hey! You're going to look for Clive, aren't you?
Who's Clive?
Lily's dad.
Look, I've just been calling the police. Let them deal with it.
The police are overstretched. I'm saving them a job.
No, listen, you could make things worse.
I'm a doctor, how can I make it worse?
Because he doesn't know you, you could spook him.
Not as much as the police would.
Whoa!
What you got in there, nappies or something?
Do you even know how old my kids are?
Look, it's five minutes out of my way.
I'll take him straight back to the care home
and still make it in time for training. Promise.
No. Oh, come on.
It'll be like that road trip we took - Isle of Skye, remember?
Oh, shut up.
Mr Fairhead!
Charlie'll do fine.
Just wanted to make sure we're good.
You know, that stuff earlier, with the "Oi, mate!" -
no hard feelings, right?
Fair enough. Good, cos I've got a plan.
He's been back in touch with my mum,
and he's asked for 100 quid. Can you believe that?
Anyway, I've told her to say yeah.
Hang on, that's your plan?
Yeah, cos she's only pretending.
I've told him it'll be there at one o'clock in the garden
in the planter in the corner,
you know, opposite the coffee van. It'll be like a spy film.
He'll rock up when he thinks she's gone,
and one of us will be lying in wait!
You think that'll work?
It already has. He's taken the bait.
Only thing is...
..I've got work, and I don't want the boss thinking I'm slacking.
You know I'm working too?
You just need to keep an eye out, see if there's anyone iffy
hanging about after one-ish.
You can manage that, can't you?
Yeah. Great!
Remember we missed the ferry?
Didn't we persuade some random guy to give us a lift in his boat?
Yeah, and you hooked up with him
and I had to make myself scarce for two days.
Yeah, it was pouring rain and you wouldn't let me in the hotel room.
Yeah, that was a great holiday.
Uh, for you, maybe.
But I remember it differently
cos I had to stay sober for the whole week
cos you forgot to tell me you didn't drive.
You were either drunk or hungover.
"Just one more drink, Faith, promise!"
It's never just one more with you, is it?
Which is precisely why I'm your most fun friend.
You don't even know the meaning of the word.
And what's that supposed to mean?
Oh, come on, Stevie, I haven't seen you for...ever.
You just lost interest.
That's not a friend, Stevie.
A friend is there when it matters,
like when your husband dies.
To be fair, I didn't even know he'd died.
My point exactly.
He's not here.
Great.
Come on, Cadogan. Waltzers.
There he is.
Turn it off.
Clive? My name's Stevie, this is Faith.
We're from Holby City Hospital. We're here to help you.
Lily sent us.
Hi, Clive, I'm Stevie.
All right?
I think I might need a bit of help.
Yeah, that's quite a nasty cut you've got there.
Let's try and stop it bleeding, shall we?
I couldn't get up.
Have you got anything in there I can use as a tourniquet?
Um...
I thought I was going to be here all day.
Right, no peeking, Mr.
Right.
This should do the trick.
This should do you for now.
Anything in there I can use as a dressing?
What, like a nappy, maybe?
Um...
I've got the next best thing.
Hey, Clive, you're doing really well.
Thank you.
Hang in there, Clive. I'll go get the car.
Charlie?
Is it all right if I go for a coffee?
Yeah.
Couldn't do me a favour, could you?
While you're there, could you see if there's anyone suspicious
hanging round the Peace Garden?
We work in the ED - weirdos are like the wallpaper.
Yeah.
What's that about?
The new guy, Teddy.
He's come up with a scheme to trap the catfisher.
Oh, I know it sounds ridiculous,
but they've responded and they're going to be there.
Well, he was a bit confused and chilly.
We've put stitches in the wound so he should be fine.
Thank you. I've been totally freaking out.
But, you know, if he'd have just stayed where he was,
he'd be fine, and you, you wouldn't be running around after him
after your shift finished. After who?
You lied to me...
What? No, I never.
Not only did you lie to me, but you were stupid enough to fall for it.
Can't you see that this is a trap?
Why have you tricked me?
I didn't, but luckily I found out before somebody saw you.
Might as well have a look, while we're here.
What part of "it's a trap" do you not understand?
Don't you want to know what's in it?
No! No, and I don't want you in my life any more.
I can't believe I was desperate enough to think
that maybe I like you!
What, like, LIKE like?
No!
I just wanted to spoil you.
Because I do LIKE like you.
No, I don't care.
And you know what? If you ever come near me or Charlie again,
then I'll phone the police.
What's going on?
Charlie.
No, Charlie!
So, you just found the envelope -
and you didn't send any of those messages?
No! And you didn't set up the profile?
I said...
It wasn't.
It was meant to be some sort of a joke...
You thought that was funny?
Did you catch them? Who was it?
Charlie, I'm so sorry.
It was never meant to...
Meant to what? Exploit people?
Make me look like a complete idiot?
No... Don't say another word.
I thought better of you than this.
Anything could've happened. He could've ended up in a ditch...
But he didn't, which clearly shows that he's not that bad,
and it proves that I was right to get him out.
He doesn't want to be in a home!
I gave him an alternative and he chose it - what more do you need?
It's not about what he wants...
It's about what you want and what's best for you.
What I want is some help.
You're my sister, Lil.
I don't hear from you for months on end, you're off gallivanting
around the country while I'm stuck here, putting up with his abuse.
I can't do this on my own!
You all right, Pops? You trying to give me a heart attack?
Look who's talking.
You said you were taking me out, one minute you're there,
next you've gone AWOL!
I'm sorry, I didn't think I'd be so long - they made me come in
cos I popped my shoulder again, but I'm telling you it is
a whole lot easier getting it back in with gas and air.
Stuart, on the dodgems,
he tried that stuff when his missus was in labour.
He was a funny one.
April 1st, he'd whip his top off, and wouldn't wear
a T-shirt again till October.
Should've seen him, strutting around in front of the girls.
Careful, mind your arm, yeah?
He were a right little peacock.
Look at me, ladies, check out me beer belly...
Dad, stop! No, stop it please.
Can someone help? I...
OK, OK, Clive, let's get you back in.
Come on. OK, Clive.
It's OK, it's OK. Clive. Clive, look at me. Look at me, it's Faith.
Remember - from the fairground.
Now, look at your arm, your arm is bleeding.
Do you remember?
OK, I'm going to fix that.
But I need you to calm down, OK?
That's it. Let's get you back in.
Everything's OK.
Here we go - that's better.
That's it. Just sit down.
Well done.
There we go.
Well done, Clive. There we go. That's it.
Well done.
Charlie, I'm so, so sorry.
I wasn't trying to make you look daft, I promise.
I just thought if I set you up a profile then you would get
loads of offers and it would make you feel good.
I was trying to be a friend.
The thing is...
Somebody saw me using the app,
and I didn't want them to think
that I was online dating,
so I showed him your profile.
Charlie, I didn't know he was going to use it, and ask for money,
and as soon as I found out
I told him that I didn't want to see him any more. Paul?
He said that he liked me.
And, to be honest, it just made a change
from feeling so lonely all the time.
You're not the only one who's been feeling lonely.
And, yeah, lockdown's tougher for a single parent...
..but that doesn't give you the excuse to meddle in my life.
I know.
I'm sorry.
So, the next time you're feeling lonely...
..just tell ME.
Should've seen her when she was little - no interest in dolls -
she was all cars and those little play caravans.
She got the travel bug young, did she?
Or maybe she's got it out of her system.
Might do her some good, settling for a while. Yeah.
Yeah, maybe.
She'll go stir crazy.
She got fined twice during lockdown cos she couldn't stay in one place.
And she's the only family I've got, apart from Dad.
I want her to stay, but...
..I give her a month, tops.
And then if you move your dad in with you, then...
I'm stuck looking after him.
You spend all this time,
trying to figure out what's the right thing to do,
but sometimes there isn't one.
We're just making it up as we go along.
Thanks.
Yeah, I know, I'm sorry, I got caught up, sweetheart,
but I'm on my way now.
OK? Listen, do you still want to stay at Katie's tonight?
Maybe. But what about Ana and Luka?
Well, I mean they can go to Grandma's for a sleepover,
if they still want to?
I thought you wanted us
to spend the evening together, like, doing "dad" stuff?
Yeah, well, I think we can talk
about your dad any time you want, OK?
Let's just all have a night off from that stuff.
OK, well. I'd better ring Katie. Love you.
Love you too.
Sounds like someone's on their own tonight.
You can come and help me check out my new local.
I don't think so.
Look, we both said some things earlier...
Well, you did. ..and we can either pretend it didn't happen,
which wouldn't be conducive to a supportive working relationship,
OR we can do the responsible thing and discuss it over a drink.
Like adults.
No. Just one.
No. Cadogan. It's not happening.
Come on. No.
One.
Look on the bright side.
We can tick this one off, and start again tomorrow.
Night, Charlie.
Night, Auntie Jan.
You know that saying about never work with children and animals?
Yeah. Can you add family to that, please?
There are people who just make you feel very old and very crotchety.
Yeah, he's got that knack all right.
Yeah, he's got something else as well, though.
He's got his auntie's genes,
and a kind heart.
Kids not fancy it?
Oh, sorry, it was true when I said it.
I promise. I'm only kidding. It's good to see you out.
Hiya, I'm Iain.
Stevie.
Right, well, enjoy yourselves.
I'll see you later.
Bye. See you later.
And your husband hardly even cold.
No, it's not like that. Yet.
I am done with men. Ooh.
Somebody's marriage wasn't perfect.
Yes, because someone made the mistake of marrying a man
before he worked out he was gay.
Lev? No way!
Actually, scratch that, he had "denial" written all over him,
and he never once tried it on.
So, what did you do when you found out?
The usual. You know I walked out, tried to fix it.
I didn't fix it,
so slept with a colleague.
Ah. Eh?
No, no.
A different one? Let me guess -
hot Doctor Matthew?
He's too young.
Is there such a thing? Uh-huh.
One more? No, I don't...
OK, who else is there? Dr Hardy?
I've heard he's a bit of a looker.
Oh, you would feel like you were corrupting him.
Quiet ones are the worst.
His fiancee just died. Oh, come on, give me some credit.
I'm just trying to get a sense of who I'm working with.
He can't be all sweet, though.
Everyone's got their grubby little secrets.
Yes, but I think Ethan's might be
that he parked on a double yellow once, or something like that.
Anyway, it's obvious. Dr Dylan.
Yeah, can tell by the way he looks at you. Sort of...
..awkward.
Oh. Stop it. Stop.
Oh. Stop it! Oh.
Stop it.
Anyway, what've you been up to for the past...hundred years?
You know, work, a string of meaningless
yet satisfying sexual conquests.
No responsibilities, no focus.
Oi, I am focused.
I know exactly what I want.
What? You're not going for clinical lead, are you?
Stevie, you've only been here five minutes! Well...
Come on, Ethan.
Let's get you inside.
No, I never want to come back here.
We need to get you inside, get some treatment.
You look rough, you've got a virus.
You need to be here.
OK, let's get a line in, then, please.
Can we do a venous blood gas, FBC,
U&E, and I'll book a head CT as well, OK?
I should be back by then, thanks, Sue.
I'll catch up with you in a minute.
Um, why has he got a dressing on his head?
He had a fall.
I cleaned it and dressed it before driving here.
He refused an ambulance.
He was feverish before the fall.
Dehydration, I reckon.
And the baby? Yeah, the baby's in good health.
We've all been checking in on Ethan.
He's been vaccinated.
I made him have a lateral flow test.
This is the first I've seen any change in his health.
He hasn't much appetite and I think he has a virus.
OK. Thanks, Charlie.
Well, that's not exactly everything.
Shall we...?
Come in. Sit down, sit down.
Go ahead, say.
Ethan's got the Huntington's gene.
How long has he known? Do you know?
Since his birth mother died.
Bit of a double whammy, eh?
Yeah, OK.
We'll do everything we can for him.
Rest up now.
Get your strength back.
You've stopped wearing your glasses.
When did that happen?
You're dead.
Excellent diagnosis, Nibbles.
You haven't lost it, I see.
Why are you here?
Because you're not well.
No, why are YOU here?
You don't seem very happy to see me.
If anyone's going to come back...
You'd rather it was her.
Sorry.
There's not much I can do about that.
Leave me alone.
Let me sleep...
..and I can get out of here.
So you can quit.
I should have quit years ago.
Yeah, but you didn't.
If you'd have let me...
..maybe none of this would have happened.
Oh, really? It's like that, is it?
You see, I don't think you're remembering this right at all.
I don't think you're remembering this right at all.
Remembering this right at all.
Right at all. Right at all.
You see, I don't think you're remembering this right at all.
What I was saying earlier was it's not that my job is more important -
it's that it's more...
Well, difficult. Oh.
More difficult, is it? Have you tried loading that printer?
It's hardly health care.
Guy Self couldn't even fiddle the right bits on this machine -
and that's about 1% of the things I have to do.
But I'm talking about saving people's lives.
And I'm juggling them all, every second.
Ethan. What do you reckon?
Who's doing more to keep this place from falling apart?
I... I wouldn't want to say.
Why not?
Sorry, I've... I've got to get on.
Get ready. Well, it can't be that difficult.
Yeah. It's obvious. Yeah, it's me.
It's me.
You've only gone and made it worse. Not choosing one.
Wasn't exactly my idea to get involved.
Yeah, well, they're not going to leave you alone now.
Wow! You're the gift that keeps on giving.
You OK, though?
What, about Noel and Big Mac?
About our birth mother, Emilie, and the Huntington's.
Look, you don't need to worry. But I do worry.
If there's anything you want or need, just tell me, OK?
Remember, you're not on your own.
Happy birthday!
When we were kids and you actually remembered my birthday,
got me a present, I'd find out it's because you'd pulled the head
off something and you felt bad.
Yeah. That's right.
I travelled all the way down
because I've decapitated another plastic pony.
So, any news? Any gossip?
Maybe.
Like? Like you need to pay closer attention to things.
Marcus?
Yes, Marcus. Who else?
Oh, come on.
You can't even pretend to be happy for me?
It's just...maybe a bit soon.
Don't you want to...? I dunno...
..live a bit more?
We've been together six years.
That's not soon. And what's "live a bit more" mean?
Like you?
Go out with three guys called Dan at the same time?
Technically one was a Danny.
Please. I'm happy, sis.
Isn't that good enough? It's not.
He cheats on you, OK? No, this is ridiculous.
I know because I slept with him.
I thought you guys were over.
He said he did too, but...
I dunno. He would. Wouldn't he? You know how you say I'm always
a different person when I drink. This isn't funny.
The last time I was down, you had this argument,
about fixing radiators or something.
I drank because it was so awkward.
I think I let it happen because I wanted you to leave him.
I can't be around you. I don't know what I'll do.
I just... I can't.
Seriously? You've got guests arriving any minute.
I don't care. Don't be here when I get back.
Well? What do you think?
You're not watching at all?
I think they're going to kick me out. I bet you anything.
Might not be that bad.
No, Toby. I'm going to lose my place.
I'm not going to get to be a nurse.
I'll have to start again, doing something else.
Deaf and broke, and at the back of the queue.
Woo!
That could mean a fresh start, though.
You know, a chance to do something else.
My uncle's got something going on in Spain.
Wait, did you actually mean that?
Yeah, yeah. He's got a garage.
Said I could go work for him whenever I want.
Hey, why don't we just grab our passports and go?
Either that or I end up like her.
Let's do it.
That's my girl! Get in.
I want you to have this,
and listen to it.
Really listen to it.
Oi watch it!
Sorry! Toby!
Maybe you should...
Get me out of here! Please help!
No way that's safe. Don't go near that.
Call an ambulance.
Help! Please, help!
Are you OK? Yeah, yeah, I'm fine.
It's OK, it's OK. Hold on!
Please, please! Help me out.
An ambulance is on its way. Are you hurt?
My head and my leg.
There's just so much blood.
Keep still.
I know it's scary, but try and keep still.
My name's Jade. What's your name?
Emma.
Emma, when the ambulance gets here,
they'll be able to say if it's safe to move you
but, for now, I need you to put pressure on the cut on your leg, OK?
But you have to be firm. Can you do that?
That's it, press against it.
I'm meant to be at my party.
It's all right. I'm not going anywhere.
I'm going to stay with you till the ambulance comes, OK?
Don't worry, I'm going to get you out, OK?
Everything's going to be all right. Just keep talking to me.
Tell me about the party.
Please leave a message.
Hi, Marcus, it's Stevie! Remember me?
Yeah, so, Emma knows. I told her.
I mean, you should have at some point before proposing to her
but, I don't know, I guess you forgot.
Anyway - congratulations!
You stupid, selfish creep.
I want you to have this and listen to it.
Really listen to it.
You have this thing,
you just can't let another person be happy.
You don't have the courage to tell the truth
when it might actually help someone.
Instead, you wait until the worst possible moment...
All clear, lads. Cheers.
OK, my name's Iain.
What's your name?
Emma. All right, Emma,
we're going to get you out of here safely, OK?
I was the one that told her to stay in the car.
Was I wrong? Did I make a mistake?
There you go. No, no. You've done brilliant.
At least she's out of danger now. You took care of the wound.
You did it properly. Try not to worry about her.
Don't worry. We're going to get you out of here.
Where are you going to take her?
She'll go to Holby City.
Right, can you mind out now? Give us some room.
I'm going to give you some oxygen.
Take some nice deep breaths for me, Emma, OK?
Yeah, can we get the stretcher as well, please?
Actually, Cal...
OK, I'll find somebody. Great.
I need one of you to help with a burns victim in here,
and there's a new patient in Resus one. I don't care which takes which.
Play you for it.
You already know I'd like to do the escharotomy.
Then all you have to do is win.
One, two, three.
See, I just know how you think.
What have we got? All right.
This is Emma Nash, 31 years old.
Driver involved in an RTC car vs lorry cab about 40 minutes ago.
She was extricated by the firefighters.
Top to toe - boggy haematoma on the side of her head,
chest wall bruising from seat belt,
got a laceration with arterial bleed on her leg.
Obs are stable. GCS is 12.
Any pain relief? Yeah, she's had ten of morphine and a gram of TXA.
She was helped at the scene by a bystander.
Actually, it could have been much worse.
Right, thank you.
Oh, can you let me know as soon as we get her CT back?
OK. Thanks.
Noel, have you seen Mrs Beecham?
No, she's not in. She's got the day off.
Oh, I can take that, though, put it with the rest of her post.
Um, no. You're all right. Thank you.
Have you seen Mr Hanssen around?
Yeah. He's in.
I saw him checking a bird feeder in the peace garden. Right. So...
..Ethan,
I don't mind you saying, while Mac's not here,
mine is the more important job, right?
Um, I've got to make a phone call.
He's behind me, isn't he?
He didn't want to upset you.
Me? He was clearly about to tell you how invaluable HCAs are.
Didn't have the time, obviously.
It's regarding my future.
A quick meeting today,
if you've got time.
Yeah, yeah.
I can do that.
I'll see you then.
Thank you.
Charlie, Charlie. We could do with
an extra pair of hands for this escharotomy.
I'm afraid I don't think we can save the arm or the life,
but we ought to try everything we can.
OK. There's a small boy behind you.
Sorry.
This is the son, Rudi.
Of this patient?
I'd left someone looking after him.
The bad man. Sorry, say it again?
The bad man.
No, he's not the bad man, Rudi.
He's the doctor.
Who's the bad man?
Your dad?
Um, Mac.
Mac, would you mind keeping an eye on this young man for us?
He's mentioning something about a bad man so if we could get to
the bottom of that, probably a good idea. Right you are.
Hello, there.
This is Rudi.
Hello, Rudi.
Well, your dad's in there, is it?
That's the best place for him.
Why don't we go and find you somewhere to wait, yeah? Follow me.
Stand by there now.
I need you to watch this young man for me
but, just a sec, I'll be back,
but just watch him - that's all.
Because I can't be trusted to babysit?
No, because I've been given a very important task.
Oh. Of course.
Oh, if he says anything about a bad man,
come and get me immediately, yeah?
Like what? Don't "like what" me, all right?
I've already told you, I've been given a very important job to do,
so just look after the boy, yeah? Five minutes. All right!
So...
..who's this bad man, then?
Emma Nash's scans are showing an extradural haematoma.
All right, she'll need to be referred to neuro.
They'll want to review the scans themselves.
I think she's starting to cone.
OK, are you ready to intubate?
Sorry, could you just turn that down for a second?
I can't concentrate.
That's better. Thank you.
OK, let's get a laryngoscope,
ET tube and Ambu bag, on standby, please.
Right. Thank you.
OK, ET tube. Thank you.
I'm looking for my sister. Her name's Emma - Emma Nash.
Nash! I don't know when she came in.
If I knew when she came in, I'd probably know where she is,
so if you could just find her, please, that would be fantastic.
Excuse me!
What happened to her?
Sorry. You can't be in here.
Emma? Emma? Who did this?
What happened? Can I get you to wait outside, please?
Emma, I'm sorry, OK? I just didn't want you making a mistake.
Can you keep bagging, please?
You can't be in here right now.
She's my sister.
What are you doing? I'm a doctor!
Just tell me what happened.
OK, I'll explain everything outside, all right?
It's really not going to help her you being here like this. Please.
Your sister has been involved in a traffic accident,
and she's been seriously injured.
I need to speak to the neurosurgeons and they'll...
They'll decide whether she'll need surgery.
I want to stay with her.
Can I get you to wait in reception?
I promise I'll look after her.
I will come and find you as soon as there's any news.
Um, hello, yes, it's Ethan Hardy calling from the ED.
Yeah, I just wanted to review some scans, a Ms Emma Nash.
Easy now. Don't panic. Take it slow.
I don't remember what happened to her.
There's no rush.
Something went wrong...
..when I was out of the room,
didn't it?
How long has she been like this? Didn't you check the placement?
The tube's in her oesophagus.
Air's not going into her lungs. How long?
Seconds.
I turned the monitor down to concentrate.
The sister came in.
I thought she was a risk.
This is my fault, isn't it?
That's a lot of red pen.
So, this man that you're talking about - how old is he?
What sort of hair does he have?
Can I get you anything?
So, Dr Hardy will be through to talk to you in just a minute.
Thanks. OK.
Mac, would you...?
Yes, sir, how can I help?
Emma Nash. I got a call.
She's been in an accident. OK.
I just need to take some details? You are...? Marcus.
It all goes back to normal, huh? Why wasn't she at home?
What was she doing in a car when she's meant to be at a party?
She deserved to know.
And you deserve to be in there instead of her.
You're here for Emma Nash, is that right? You're her sister. I am.
If this is about Emma, I'm her fiance.
She suffered a significant head injury,
and she may need neurosurgery once the surgeons have assessed her.
Her brain was starved of oxygen for a short while
and we won't know yet if there's been any permanent damage.
What does that mean? How did she end up like that?
I thought you said this was a car accident?
It's too early to tell, and if the neurosurgeons
can't offer an operation, we'll need to stabilise her.
You didn't say any of this before. What changed?
No... You intubated? Patients don't just lose oxygen.
Something else happened. Something he's not telling me.
And why is he here telling me this? Why isn't it you?
You promised.
Emma was already very badly injured.
We're doing all we can for her, and I will update you.
I'm sorry I don't have better news for you.
Excuse me.
You had no right to do that.
To lie to them like that.
What? They didn't need to hear what really happened.
Look, she already had a significant head injury.
How would the truth make anything better for them?
Why does that sound so familiar?
Just like the truth about the Huntington's? Well...
..maybe I've learned from my mistakes.
Maybe I feel I need to protect you now.
Look, a mistake like this could cost you your future! What future?
It's over.
I'm resigning...
..today.
If this is to punish me for taking the tests...
I've just proved my incompetence.
Oh, you're not serious... I'm incurable, Cal.
And if this is what I'm like now,
just imagine what I'll be like when I actually start to get symptoms.
I can't risk anyone else.
I have to resign. Um...
Emma Nash. What happened?
Um....
..I was intubating and...
..I intubated her oesophagus by mistake.
But you recovered it straight away. You've checked the O2 tracer?
Yeah. Yeah, I've done that. I could have killed her.
It's a recognised complication of an intubation.
The important thing is that it was addressed promptly.
Now, I'll have a word with neuro.
In the meantime, Cal, you and I have a patient that's losing
blood pressure. We have no idea why, so I could do with you.
Ethan, just take a minute, yeah?
Yeah?
Please put this letter away.
We'll talk later.
You know about this sort of thing. Is she brain damaged?
We won't know that yet.
OK, so what do we do?
You're begging for my help?
Now it's no fun, you want me to step in and be a grown-up?
You were going to marry her, Marcus. Isn't this what that's all about?
Being there for her, by her side.
She's in that bed because I told her what you're really like.
You're a piece of work. And you're trash,
and if I could put you in her place, I would, because you will leave.
I know you, you'll leave only after it would have helped,
and so all this will be for nothing.
Go to hell. You first.
Fine.
You get what you want. Again.
Heaven help her if you're the one looking after her.
Could I speak to Mr Hanssen, please?
You understand what a promise is, don't you?
Sorry, can I call you back?
You promised YOU would let me know if anything happened,
so I want to hear it from you - not from anyone else.
What happened to her?
He lied for you, didn't he?
There was a mistake, or an accident, wasn't there?
We will continue to look after your sister.
So, that's it, is it?
I really am very sorry.
I bet you are.
If I'd left then...
..you might still be alive.
Fenisha too.
She'd be on some beach somewhere...
..with Will...
..alive and happy.
Yeah, possibly.
But something stopped you, kept you here.
I can't remember what happened.
Come on, Ethan. You didn't give up. Why?
Right, I can take it from here.
Mac, I am handling it.
You can go and do all your important life-saving catheter work.
I've already asked him about this mysterious bloke.
And? Patience. I've got it all in hand.
But, mate, you're too soft with him.
We need to find out what he knows.
Mac, this is not good cop/bad cop.
We're not sweating him till his lawyer turns up.
I know how kids' minds work.
I know. You've still got one up there.
Very funny. I got this.
Hiya, buddy! Are you ready to tell Big Mac your story?
No? OK.
Um, I tell you what.
Why don't we go and get you a nice big bar of chocolate,
and you can tell me everything that happened with your dad.
What? A strange man offering him sweets?
I'm not a strange man! You sure about that?
Well...
It's going to be all right, babe, OK? You've done everything you can.
I feel sick. No, I need to talk to someone.
You haven't done anything wrong.
Excuse me. I'm looking for a patient.
Emma something.
She was in a car accident.
You are... Sorry?
I was at the accident,
but I'm not a friend or a relative or anything.
I can't discuss a patient's details with you. Sorry.
It's bad. I know it's bad.
I've messed up. Hey. Um, excuse me.
Look, listen, I'm not after details or anything. My friend -
she helped look after that woman while the ambulances came
and she's got it in her head that she made a mistake or something
and no-one will tell her what's going on.
The ambulance crew did say someone helped with the bleeding
so, if that was your friend, then she likely saved that woman's life.
Look, don't be like that.
You did nothing wrong.
I know it's upsetting and scary, but you're being braver than you think.
Dr Keogh will look after your dad, I promise.
Sorry, um...
Is this your dad?
It is. And who's this?
The bad man.
And this happened today?
Noel, you're a genius.
I am? He is?
Can I borrow this? Thank you.
He's been stabbed. It's not just the fire.
He's been attacked, and I think he's been stabbed.
Is that the bad man thing? Yeah.
Could that be why his BP is dropping?
Yeah, the burns could have cauterised the wound.
He's certainly been experiencing ongoing blood loss. Um, yeah,
OK, I'll call CT. Thanks, Ethan.
Thank goodness for crayons, eh?
Ah, did that help then? Me getting him to draw his pictures?
Yeah, it did. Ah, so going above and beyond my apparently
not-all-that-important job, then.
Always. Well, that'll be one to tell the grandkids, when I have them.
Grandpa Noel - solving crimes, saving lives.
Come on.
You left this when you took the drawing.
I'll leave it there. Thanks.
Um, Ethan...
..I know you've had a bit of a rough ride recently,
and if there's anything that any of us can do to help, we'll do it.
You know that, don't you? Yeah, I do.
Don't know if the place would hold up without you.
Thank you.
Do you remember now?
Yeah.
And do you see how you can't just hold on to the bad things
and forget the rest?
Cal, I'm so unhappy.
No.
No, you've still got Bodhi.
And this place has always made you happy.
Noel felt like a hero that day because of you...
..and he remembered that for the rest of his life.
Jade became a nurse.
Rudi got his dad back - all because of you.
Yeah, you made a mistake, AND you're a good doctor.
Both things are true.
Yeah.
I'm going to need a bit more assurance than that.
I'll try.
All right.
There he is. Morning.
How long have...?
About 24 hours, give or take.
Where's Bodhi? Safe. Looked after.
Seems like you had quite the night.
Tossing and turning.
Nightmares, I'm guessing?
I don't remember.
It's probably for the best.
Anyway, Charlie said he'd run you home when you're ready.
I'll go see if he's about.
I didn't give up.
Told you I wouldn't.
And here we are, five years later.
I'm still here.
Bet that surprises you.
That I held on.
That I'll see this to the end.
And I'm still here, but Marcus isn't.
I told you the truth to protect you.
That's all I ever wanted to do, Emma.
And I know that work isn't finished.
How's Faith?
She's coping.
Good to see you up and about, Ethan.
You're on your way home now?
Yeah, we're stopping at the shop first, to get some food.
OK. Well, look after yourself, huh?
Going to introduce me?
Of course.
Sorry, Ethan, this is our new consultant. Dr Nash.
Stevie, please.
And I know who you are.
You're Dr Hardy, right?
Yes, I am.
Well, I won't keep you.
I'm sure we'll be seeing plenty more of each other soon enough.
Looking forward to it.
Likewise.
Excuse me.
