(police sirens wailing)
- Oh news.
I'll soon have the flat back to myself.
- Oh, your chucking Spencer out?
- I didn't need to.
I told him to get a job or go home
and I know you shouldn't say this about your own son
but he's too stupid to get a job.
- Yeah, you're right.
The kid's are waste man.
- Why not just be honest with him?
- 'Cause he's shady, Leon.
I already told her to just be straight with him
and tell him get out my life you dusty you.
- He's right.
- I don't want him out my life, just out my flat.
I want to date again.
Time for Wendy to get some vitamin E in her life.
- What?
- She means vitamin D, disgusting.
- Ah, EMS are here.
I'll go and direct them.
- So you have to hear old lady talk about sex, bruv.
Got enough on your plate but listen, you're gonna be okay.
Best in the business, mate.
Best in the business.
(bright music)
♪ Yeah ♪
- Morning.
♪ Yeah. ♪
♪ Yeah ♪
- Jo hi, Spencer Bell.
Wendy's son.
- What are you doing in my depot?
- Well, I was job hunting and I wanted to show you my CV.
- This is nine pages.
- Thank you.
- Not a compliment.
Do you know what I look for when I'm hiring?
- It's not all about you, but-
- I want dedication, professionalism, hunger
but most of all I want people who don't get on my tits.
I don't you and already you're there.
(bright music)
- Thank you.
I just don't see why Gary can't drive
and I take the lead with the patients.
- She's not got the best bedside manner.
- She, I have a name, monster.
This is what I've gotta put up with.
And I've really been working on being nicer to the patients
- You set fire to the possessions
of a girl with Hodgkin's lymphoma.
- Okay, what we need here is more listening.
Now the good news is that we are designed
by nature to listen.
Hands.
We have two ears, one mouth.
I'm busy, Jo.
- What, playing head, shoulders, knees and toes?
Nice.
Well, I need to check my emails so chats over ball bags.
- No, this is a confidential space, Jo.
I'm afraid you can't be here.
Okay we are going to have
to do some work with you I'm afraid Gary,
but the good news is I have some great exercises
for that internalised toxic masculinity,
but let's just focus on today.
- I'm doing a siren check.
(sirens wailing loudly)
- What the hell are you doing?
- What?
- I'm sorry that's anger-
It's my bad just (breaths).
- 15.
- What was that, Jo?
- Just a siren test, George.
Don't mess your knickers.
- I'm trying to give your staff
the tools to protect themselves.
- Oh, so you admit you are a tool?
- I asked Gary and Kareshma what pastoral care they get
after a patient death, they said Foster's.
- Four cans.
Bloody good lager.
See I am Mrs. Pastoral care.
Oh, Lawrence, how are you holding up
after the bus crush last week?
- Yeah one day at a time.
You know, one day at a time. - Yeah.
- Yeah I mean, it's the faces mainly.
You know, I can still see them staring at me,
the eyes calling out.
We know you.
Why are you alive and why are we dead?
- Yeah so sad.
- Haunts my dreams. - Yeah so sad.
So what's to deal with you and June?
Where's your head at?
How's it going?
- Oh yeah, good.
We're actually going for dinner at five.
- Dinner at five.
- Yeah.
- What's she, 90?
- No, it's early because she's bringing a daughter,
which is all very new and serious.
- Bit of a psycho move, Loz.
Sorry, just a definite red flag there.
- I think she just wants me
to get to know the family a bit more.
- No she's manipulating you with the kid.
It's emotional blackmail.
- Right.
- Picture this you're at dinner.
June pops out to take a call.
You're left alone with the daughter.
Basically you are on a date with a kid.
Not being funny Loz,
but you could end up on some kind of register.
- Better go.
- Okay.
- Yeah.
- I'd cancel mate, honestly.
- I'll be all good. - Just look though.
- I'll be good.
- It's a bit weird.
(bike engine revving)
(bright music)
(Gary whistling)
- Okay, you're stress whistling.
You are still in a mood
about what I said to George, aren't you?
They were just lies.
I need more hands on experience, Gary.
That's the deal.
- It was hurtful and I hate driving.
Sorry, after you.
No problem.
Have a nice day.
- Oh I forgot what a fanny you drive like.
You can't give away Gary.
We're the most important vehicle on the road.
- What?
Slow and steady wins the race.
- No sirens win the race.
Come on, be aggressive.
(sirens wailing)
- Hey, Leon, yeah listen.
What's your favourite sport?
- I like playing football.
- Do you have any upper body hobbies, Leon?
- Yeah like arm wrestling?
- Think your driver has regained consciousness.
Whoa, how's your patient?
- Well, we've applied tourniquets
and I'm just getting an IV in.
Are you all right, Lawrence?
You look a bit shaken.
- It's bringing back memories.
You know, Karen went the same way.
- Thought your wife died of cancer.
- Yeah.
- It's not exactly how she went but lots of parallels
and it crushed her towards the end.
- Maleek?
- Yo.
- This is Anna.
- Jeez, yeah, you're punching bruv.
- (coughs) Don't make me laugh.
- Oh, sorry.
I love your accent, you know.
Proper bond villain.
Don't make me laugh.
How long can we lift this dig up?
- Firefighters think 10 minutes.
- You hear that, Leon?
10 minutes if you can hold on.
TBF you can't really go anywhere, can you?
- Keep him positive.
Chances of him making it are 50-50.
- 50-50 chance he dies?
- What, shit.
- Look at me Leon.
- Yeah.
- It's okay you're in good hands.
- If it's my time, it's my time.
I just want to enjoy my last 10 minutes.
- Yeah, okay.
Well, do you know what?
We're gonna make it the best 10 minutes, right Wend?
- Yes anything you want we can do it.
Well, anything nearby.
- Yeah, last meal?
I mean, favourite meal.
What's your favourite meal?
(Speaks Russian) Like my mother used
to make back in Russia. (Speaks Russian)
- Right, I'll see what I can do.
- Yeah, Wendy's gonna see if she can get you the, that thing
(Speaks Russian) - That thing.
You say it better, bro.
(bright music)
- I love getting letters.
- It's like a text message but on paper.
- Oh, this is very bad news.
It seems like my visa is about to expire.
Darryl, they're sending me back to Australia.
Still it's a beautiful envelope.
- Take the wheel.
I'm gonna cry.
- Can you hurry up and finish?
I wanna cry as well.
(bright music)
- I feel stupid falling at my age.
- Nothing to feel stupid about my lovely.
We'll take you in, get you an x-ray just to be sure.
Just gimme one second.
- Maybe I was wrong about your bedside manner.
- She won't shut up.
Can we sedate her?
- Maybe I was right, no sedation.
- Smoking again?
- I've got to de-stress.
Everyone's driving like maniacs.
You saw that man on the south circular cut me up.
Volvo prick.
- Kareshma?
- What is it, Janet my sweet?
- It's probably nothing
but I do have another medical issue
I've wanted to check in for a while.
It's sort of downstairs.
I've always been too embarrassed to show anyone
but seeing as you are so nice, I feel safe with you.
- Aww, great.
(bright music)
- All right, bruv.
Leon, just keep talking yeah.
- I couldn't get what you asked for
'cause I didn't know what it was
so I got you a Thai curry instead.
- What? Did you get a microwave with that
'cause you can't eat that if not.
- I panicked.
- He can't have food.
If he makes it he'll go straight to surgery.
- We've gotta do something.
What do you want, Leon?
- Get Anna here.
- Of course.
- The police have already sent her to the hospital.
There's no time.
- Would you like a kiss, Leon?
- No. - No, nasty.
- It's ready.
- Well, it's time.
- Wait, can I record a message for Anna
in case I don't make it?
- Sure. - No, move I've got you, bro.
Okay go.
- Hey Anna, surprise.
- Come on, you can't say surprise, bruv.
Go again.
- Hey Anna so the things are not looking so good
for me right now as you see.
My chipmunk, my Polish green.
If I don't make, I want you to know I love you.
Don't be so sad.
You'll see me again.
I'll be waiting.
- That was beautiful.
- Start lifting. - Okay we're lifting.
- Good luck, bro.
Out of the way, Wendy.
(tense music)
- (Speaking Russian)
- Ready, set, slide.
- Losing a lot of blood.
(Leon groaning loudly)
- Don't mean to make a bad situation worse,
- but
- you didn't hit record.
You just took a photo.
- What, oh no.
He trusted me, man.
He trusted me to pass on his dying message.
- No I didn't.
- Not you, mind your business my man.
Why would you even let me use the iPad?
- You took it off me.
- Well, thanks to you
if Leon doesn't make it,
all we got to show his girlfriend is a photo.
- No we don't.
- What, you got backup?
You did record it.
- No, but it's the next best thing,
but we've got a photo of Leon, right?
- Yeah. - So I put it in this face app
and I think it might work.
- Anna, it's me, Leon.
I love you so much and I want you to know
that I will miss you more than I can say.
- What the hell was that?
- Good, isn't it?
- That's racist!
Like proper (imitates bad Russian accent)
You know what, wasn't that racist boss?
- Just a little bit.
(bright music)
- Hi thanks for coming in.
This morning was obviously so challenging.
- Not as challenging as what's going on out there
with no paramedics.
- I think it's really important
that we talk about what happened.
When I becomes we then illness becomes wellness.
- Okay, speaking of wee, let's get
this piss take on the road.
- Right, does anyone want to get started?
- Oh great, yeah.
- This morning really rocked me.
It's going over in my head in like a loop.
It's so unfair.
It's like some guy up above says that's it, time's up.
You're going home.
- Yeah, great, this is great.
And what would you say to this guy up above if you could?
- I say you're a jerk.
Give my Darrell a visa.
Don't send him back to Australia.
- What?
We're talking about the crushed guy from this morning.
- Yeah, we weren't there for that.
- Then what are you doing here?
I'm sorry but this session is for paramedics
that were on the digger call out only.
- There's no need to shout at us.
- Yeah you hurt my feelings.
- Mine too, you've hurt our feelings.
- Right.
- No, you have to go back to Australia.
- I actually can't talk about it.
- Good let's use that.
- Everything's fire.
Everywhere I look, everything.
Even me, I'm fire.
My eyes, my bones are fire.
- I know that feeling.
- Okay can we please stay focused on the incident guys?
Come on.
- Anger management, George.
Sounds like you could do some therapy.
(bright music)
- I can still see it when I close my eyes.
- Thought you wanted to take the lead.
Stay in your lane, Lexus.
Stay in your lane.
How is that staying in your lane?
- Yeah I wanted more hands-on experience.
Didn't expect it to show me an infected anal sore
the size of a cricket ball. - Oh, you want a piece of me?
You want a piece of the action?
You wanna dance with me mother, mother effer (roars)
(bright music)
- Lawrence. Lawrence, talk about the crushed guy, please.
- I found it difficult.
You know how sometimes you arrive on scene
and you just know this one's gonna stay with you,
haunt your nights and sing you to sleep,
holding your hand in the dark?
♪ Come with me across the river we go ♪
♪ Across the river we roll ♪
♪ Across the river of death ♪
♪ Come with me ♪
- Okay, thanks, Lawrence.
Yeah, really.
- It's really special. - So beautiful.
- So helpful.
Maleek, you're being really quiet.
Come on, talk about this morning.
Is there anything that you do different maybe?
- Oh my God.
Why are you blaming me?
- It's good to get everything out in the open, Maleek.
- Oh my God.
All right, George.
Fine, I didn't press record.
Yeah, I didn't press record.
I promised to make his last moments count
and I messed it up.
Flipping bullshit man. - Maleek!
- All lie.
- I can't believe I'm agreeing with Maleek
but he's absolutely right, George.
This is absolute bullshit.
- Time to reflect on difficult incidents is important.
- I'll not have my crew sitting around circle jerking
while there are people out there dying.
Out now!
- All right thank you.
Well done everyone.
Thank you.
Thanks guys, thank you.
I think this was really, really useful.
(bright music)
- Look, Lawrence a word.
I've been thinking about this problem with June
and this whole insane dinner thing.
- Not really a problem.
- How do you know she's not doing it
to get a kidney for the kid?
- Sylvia doesn't need a kidney.
- Have you checked?
- Have I performed exploratory surgery
on my girlfriend's daughter
to check whether she has both kidneys?
No. - Exactly just call her up.
Say you don't want the kid there.
- But she's nice. - No, you're not her dad.
Put your foot down.
- But one might appear selfish.
- No Lawrence this says I'm putting you first.
You're dating June not her kid.
If anything it's a sign of commitment.
Just call her up say all right bitch
or whatever you call her.
- June. - It's me or the nipper.
Trust me Lawrence.
I know women, I am a woman.
She will love the gesture 100%.
- Well, I haven't thought about it like that before.
- You're welcome.
(bright music)
- What we doing here?
- I need to fix earlier.
He trusted us to get a message to her.
- Oh, it's even fitter in real life.
Go on, Leon.
Now gimme the iPad.
I'm gonna record another message.
- You think that's a good idea?
- We couldn't save Leon.
The least we can do is give his girl closure.
What do you think will make her happy?
- You could say he was having an affair.
I know that would make me feel a lot better.
- I'm not saying that.
- Or he never really loved her
and was only with her for a bit.
- I'm trying to give her closure not ruin her life.
What's wrong with you?
(bright music)
- Gary?
Oh mate.
What the hell happened?
- He was so much bigger when he got out of the car.
- It's all her fault.
You should swap.
I'm George, meh, meh, meh.
Thanks to your bright idea,
I've had the worst shift of my life.
I can never look at asses again.
Oh, and you've turned Gary into an animal.
You stay away from us.
- You see what happens when you mess with my staff?
I know what's best for my depot, okay?
- I didn't do anything.
- You wanna do therapy and talk about each other's mums
or whatever sick shit you get up to?
That is what happens.
My staff are all fine in the head, okay?
Get these magic rocks.
- These are quite powerful crystals actually.
- I will always love you.
I want you to move on and be happy.
That guy Maleek, who looked after me at the end seemed nice
and he had
this really nice beard - What is this?
- Skip that bit, skip that bit.
- But I will never stop loving you
my little chipmunk. - Little chipmunk.
- I think you broke her.
- Oh shit!
- Look, I know.
I'm so sorry.
I'm sorry.
It was Wendy's fault.
Wendy put me up to it.
- It's kinda of help, I think - But Leon's not dead.
- Huh?
- The doctor said the surgery went better than expected.
He's going to make it.
- My G, Leon.
Yes, I knew you'd pull through, man.
The guy's a machine.
- Well you have to send me this.
Oh, Leon loves racist videos.
I better go and see him.
- Go, go, go, go. He's gonna make it.
That's all that matters.
I told you, I've got you.
We got you!
- Got him?
You're trying to pick up his widow while he was still warm.
- He would've wanted that man.
It's Leon my guy.
All I know is my brother's gonna live innit
so where gonna celebrate
'cause my brother's gonna live innit.
My brother's gonna live innit. - What?
(bright music)
- Is Mum here?
- What? What are you doing back?
- I've had the worst day job hunting ever.
The Apple Store are total assholes
and nobody at Canary Wharf would even let me in.
- Yet people keep letting you into my depot.
- I need a job.
Please Mum's boss.
I'll do anything.
I'll work any hours you want.
I just need money 'cause I don't wanna be poor.
- Okay so one of my restock team has just quit
so if you are gonna hang around
like a turd that won't flush,
you might as well be useful.
Can you use a mop?
- Yes and I'm very good at Microsoft Excel
and also in a team.
- Just show up tomorrow.
Don't cock it up
and if you could do something about your face,
it is annoying to look at so change it.
- Hi.
(bright music)
Oh hi, Jo.
I just wanted to say I called June and did what you said.
- Oh, you did? - Yeah I told her
it was me or the kid.
- Oh, well. - And it really worked.
Yeah she said it was very thoughtful
and refreshing putting her first
and making her feel like June
rather than June the single mum. Mad, eh?
- Is she mental?
- So she's booked a babysitter
and we're going on a proper romantic date, all thanks to you.
- Yes, ooh shirts.
- You like it? - Nice.
- Maybe instead of celebrating,
we should go and check in with George.
You know, we've been through a lot today
and you do seem ever so slightly manic.
- Nah, shut up.
I'm not check in with George.
I'm checking in with Jack Daniels.
Let's go to the pub.
- But instead of going to the pub,
why don't we go to a karaoke bar?
- Ooh, yes please.
I'm doing Nicki Minaj and bollocks to anyone
who says it's problematic because I am who I am
and you actually can't change that.
- No you go home, Spencer.
You know how expensive London is
and what, with you being skint and all.
- It's fine.
Jo gave me a job working here on the restock team.
We're gonna be living together and working together.
How amazing is that?
- Oh, you are finished.
Wendy?
Wendy, you broken?
Okay, I'll just get the pin
to restore your factory settings.
