(Radio dials twirling, whistling, woman speaking foreign language) Frankyou've got home.


- (Screams)
- Oh, God!
- Karenwhere've you been?
- Home.

Two nights off and you disappear.

I called you ten times.


- I wasn't answering my phone.


- Karen? Are we supposed to act like we don't know each other
- because one of us
- One of us what?
- I don't know, you never told me.


- Well, ask the staff, it's the gossip.

Karen, you know that's not true.


- I'm OK.


- Karen, talk to me.

Don't pretend you don't know about me and Charlie because you do.

And don't try and make me feel better.

I'm all right.

I just wanna be on my own.

I'm not about to cr*ck up.

I'm just a bit off men right now, OK? (Sighs) OK.

Ooh! They're coming, Frank! They're coming! Oh, my God!
- Evening.


- Hiya.

Could you get one and three ready? OK.

There she is.

We'd've been quicker using the stars.


- Now, now, then, birthday boy.


- Oi, enough of that.

(Man reciting medical terminology) pulmonary artery into theaorta which lets the blood flow freely without passing though theerm Through the Oh, damn it! (Sighs) It was the lung! And he turned so suddenly, there was nothing I could do.

Just stay back there.

Stay back.


- What's his name?
- Frank.

Hello, Frank, can you hear me?
- (Radio buzzing)
- The radio's still live.


- I don't know where he keeps it.


- Where is the main supply?
- I don't know.

I don't know!
- Hang on.

Hey, what you doing? Sandra, get back here! Sandra, come back! Someone's nicked my purse.

Great, eh? (Sighs)
- Don't you call me Porky!
- I'll call you what I likePorky.

Sticks and stones may break my bones.

Oh, shut it, you're all mouth.

How did your date with our policeman friend go? He was so boring.

You know what they say about men in uniform.

I think they mean nurses too.


- Why don't you go home?
- I came with Robbie
- and I'm leaving with him.


- No, you're not.


- Ladies, do you mind?
- Stay out of it, Paki!
- Keep quiet or take it outside.


- Go on then, make me.

Watch out, we've got a thief.

Sorry, I've got my duties.

People shouldn't run Star Wars on domestic wiring.

It's OK, Frank, I'm here.

(Speaks foreign language) It's OK.

You'll be all right.


- What language is that, then, love?
- Polish.

We are Polish.


- (Knock on door)
- Yes? Miles, your father phoned again, Miles.

Are you all right?
- Yes.


- Coming to the rag ball? Miles? Over 95% of people who suffer from diseased arteries in their legs are smokers
- which frequently leads to gangrene and amputation.

Smokers are three times more likely to suffer nerve disease.

You all right?
- Don't talk to me.


- (Tuts) Ooh, sorry.


- What's that supposed to mean?
- Nothing.

Sorry, sorry.

I've just done 48 hours.

What?
- Of smoking.

Not smoking.


- Oh! I have to go up to intensive care and remind myself what it looks like.

Visualising myself lying there cursing every f*g I ever smoked.


- What you laughing at?
- Sorry.

(Sighs) There's no funny business being a sl*ve to nicotine.

I deserve more sympathy, understanding, special clinics.


- My dad gave up.


- Yeah? Just got up one morning, decided to stop
- never touched one again.

I don't think I want to hear that.

(Woman) Get your hands off me! Into the Valley of Death.

All I can say is he never worked in an A&E department.

But he was hell to live with for six months.

As quickly as you can, sergeant, thanks.


- Oi, oi, oi, you two, pack it in.


- Sod off!
- Police?
- On their way.

What's going on? Hey, hey, hey, pack it in!
- Get off!
- Pack it in!
- Cyril!
- Pack it in!
- Nurse James.


- Get off! Oh, Robbie! We've got an elderly man coming in
- electric shock and tachycardia.


- Right.


- Duffy, did you find your purse?
- No.


- When did you miss it? Just now.


- You could've put it down somewhere.


- With 50 quid in it? What are you doing bringing cash like that in here?
- That jacket.


- What?
- What jacket?
- That leather one.


- Did you decide you couldn't afford it?
- No, I saved.


- You saved?
- Yeah.

For three weeks
- for the first time ever.


- Three weeks? Oh, dear.


- It's not funny, Megan.


- Or the first time things've disappeared.


- When I catch him,
- he'll wish he was never born.


- How do you know it's a him? Oh! I'm gonna tell Robbie what you said, Elaine.

You're a filthy mouthed cow! All right, all right, keep your tights on.


- Ow!
- Serves you right.

Do you mind? I think you've broken something, I hate you.

Chicken.

Cyril?
- Do yourself a favour, don't do it again.


- What? We step back from trouble.

You got that? You act the hero down here, you could end up with a broken jaw.

Step back, let the boys in blue handle it.

It's what they get paid for.

I thought you needed help.


- So?
- So, I thought you could do with a hand.

If I want Rambo, I'll ring his agent.

If this is about you and Karen Whatever you think was between me and Karen is over, and while in my department, keep your personal life separate
- understood?
- Just as long as you understand it.


- I'm not quite sure I get your drift.

From where I'm standing, I get the feeling I'm being used as some sort of scapegoat.

This is about how you do your job.

Right.

It's a Mr Goldman, electrical shock.

Burns to hands and tachycardia.

Right, let's have a look.

He'd had Denmark, but he hadn't got Poland before.

He wanted to listen to someone from home.


- All right, on we go.


- (Wheezing) (Speaks Polish) Kuba, give us a hand.

One, two, three, lift.

Come on, Kuba, hurry up.


- How are you feeling, Mr Goldman?
- What's happening?
- Don't worry, sir.


- How we doing? Can you tell me what day it is?
- (Frank whimpers)
- You're all right, sir.

Are we pretending to be on the same side, or are we being honest, Mr Plimmer?
- Ewart, please.


- Ewart.

Are we presenting a united front, Ewart? United, definitely.

Help me! Please, somebody, help me! (Distant disco) (Fast beeping) No response to thoracic massage.

Do you feel any chest pain, Mr Goldman?
- Where's the medical reg?
- On his way.

Can you hear me, Mr Goldman? Feeling a bit sweaty? A bit short of breath, yes? I'd say he's VT.


- VT?
- It's nothing to worry about.

Does your husband take tablets for his heart?
- His heart is not strong.


- Does he take tablets for it? When did he last have a tetanus injection?
- No other dr*gs?
- Sometimes for nerves.


- Some herbal tablets.


- Fine.

Karen, take Mrs Goldman for a cup of tea.


- Mrs Goldman
- I want to be with Frank.

I must stay.

Get me a wet soak, will you?
- And tell Kuba I'd like a word.


- OK.

Your husband will be fine.

Would you like to take a seat? No, no, I must stay.

Mrs Goldman, your husband's heart changed rhythm.

We're trying to return it to normal.

You're not helping by being here.

OK, what have we got?
- Come on, I just sat down.


- Oh, come on.

Sandra, I would be lying to you if I didn't admit that middle age with its aches and pains is creeping up on me.

Your birthday's not till midnight.

That's what I don't like about birthdays
- I won't be 25 again.

Oh, come on, you're all right.

Hey, I was a bit worried about you back there.


- Why?
- Oh, I dunno why.

Oh, look, come on, grandad.

I'm gonna finish my tea.

All right? I'd have given him lignocaine but his chest was crackly.


- Anyone rung CCU?
- They say an hour.

We should get it sorted out here.

All right, Mr Goldman, we'll make you better now.


- Someone bleep the anaesthetist.


- Cyril.

I'd like to try a sh*t of lignocaine, 50mgs.


- What is she doing?
- Karen, waiting room.


- Mrs Goldman
- No, no, I must stay.


- Hilda.


- It's all right, Frank.

I'm here.


- It's all right.


- I'm very sorry, but I don't speak the language.

There's a doctor coming down from upstairs who'll be able to help you.

If you'd like to take a seat.

Andy? Hello? I'm not singing, cos it's been one of those nights.


- But I do have a little something.


- You told her.


- I don't believe it.


- What? Your present.

I left it there so I'd remember, and somebody's nicked it.


- No, it's all right, he's done nothing.


- Mrs Goldman, you can't go in there.

Mrs Goldman, now listen.

What we're doing is very simple and will help your husband.

Please, take a seat
- He's done nothing.


- Karen, please! Mrs Goldman, come and have a cup of tea.

First Duffy's purse, then your present and now my laundry list
- this thief is crazy.

Kuba, Charlie wants to see you.


- Right
-o.


- (Speaks Polish)
- (Kuba speaks Polish)
- (Speaks Polish) (Speaks Polish) ( Loud disco music)
- Mr Goldman.


- I'm strong.

Relax, you're in hospital.


- I can run
- Please try to relax.


- Come along, Mr Goldman,
- Not to the left.

No!
- (Speaks Polish)
- What's he saying?
- I don't know.


- Doctor Mengele.

Mengele! Goldman, Dr Mengele (Speaks Polish) You are safe now.

Right, can we clear some space here, please? Ewart? Yeah? Well? Quite.


- Quite what?
- I agree with Miss Roberts.

So you agree that we should give Social Services 24
-hour notice
- on hostel accommodation?
- Absolutely.

Don't you? Yes.

Stand back.


- OK?
- OK, let's get him up to CCU.

Cyril, I want you to see this through to the end.

Just look and learn like it said in the book.

(Rings)
- Holby Casualty.


- What's next?
- Elaine's X
-rays.


- No, I'm still here.

Yeah.

Anything more for me? Not unless you fancy plastering an ankle.

There's a bit of fat on that calf.

At least it's a clean break.

What's that perfume? It's my boyfriend's aftershave.


- It's nice.


- Yeah.

Stud.

I must buy some.


- Who's Mengele?
- He was SS doctor in Auschwitz.

Was he?
- Mrs Goldman?
- What's happening? It's all right, don't worry.

Your husband has gone to one of the wards.

He's going to be fine, so don't you worry.

We'd just like to keep him in for a couple of days, all right? We have good English names.

Frank and Hilda.

We are English now.

Where are we going? To set your ankle in plaster, then up to the obs ward so we can keep an eye on that swelling.

Charlie What are we doing about this thief? To start off with, we're all gonna be much more careful.


- It was in my bag, in my locker.


- I'm having a word with Ewart.

There's gotta be more.

I can walk on water but I cannot make the world a nicer place.

(Ponting) Birthdays.

Used to be a time of rejoicing.

If they don't catch the thief, Susie'll buy you something.

I'll remind her.


- It's more serious than that.


- Young in spirit, young in body.

I am trying to be serious, Sandra, yeah? Sandra
- it must be serious.

I've been thinking.

(Sighs) What's up? You, this ambulance and that's it.


- It's my life.


- But you're a married man.

Yeah.

Beryl.

Beryl, Beryl, Beryl.

Well, we're finished.

It's over.

We share the same house, worry about the same bills, but we may as well be lying side by side in our graves, for the love and warmth that's between us.

You can't mean that.

By God, I do.

See, I can't stop thinking about you.

I've never been like that before.


- Andy!
- What? Is this birthday blues? No.

I've thought it through.

I love you.

I'll give you the bunk for some bread.

No man should suffer that.

Stand him up or he'll go to the left.

(Kuba speaks Polish) You are in England now.

Where is, where's Hilda? We got separated in Glochmiler Street.

Is she alive? Did she get through?
- He's cracked.


- No, he'll be OK.

Frank, Frank She speaks good German.

That is an advantage.

It's over.

It's over, Frank.

(Speaks Polish) You are in England now.

Poor boy, they threw him in the mud.

I think we should get a doctor.

No, no, give me five minutes.

Frank, my name is Kuba Trzcinski.

You are in Holby City Hospital.

You had a very nasty shock with your radio.

Now, it's over, all right?
- Nightmares.


- Yes, yes, I know, yes.

I was trying to get through to Poland on the short wave.


- Yeah, I think I got through.


- Yes.

Could I see my wife? I will ask.

Dziekuje.

I've been trying to think of the right words for months
- Andy!
- It is easy.

Money'd be a problem at first.

I can't leave Beryl not properly provided for
- and we'll have to find a place to live in.


- I'm very close to you.

(Whispers) You know that.

Yeah.

You don't understand.

I don't know what to say.

I've never been in this position before.

It's the same for me.

There have been times when you've been asleep in my bed and I've looked at you and I've hated myself.


- Why?
- Oh, Andy! I thought I'd stolen you from her.

It's I've been living moment from moment.

Ohit was wrong, unfair but it helped.

Not stolen borrowed.

(Radio) Control to 3004.

I can't.

Not to her, not to myself.

No.

(Radio ) Holby Control to 3004, over.

(Sandra sighs)
- Yeah?
- We have a house call for you.

Male UTI.

(Andy) Terrific.

Oh, and happy birthday, Andy.


- I am sorry.


- Yeah.

Good night.


- That was downright rude.


- What was?
- Yawning, in the summing up.


- I was tired.


- And doodling.


- I was planning.

And bloody high
-handed if I may say so.

You've just given 24
-hour notice on every patient requiring hostel accommodation which you can't adhere to, so why say yes? Because I couldn't bear Priestman droning on and on.

He was making a perfectly valid point about better liaison between the emergency services.

He makes the same valid point at every meeting.

Do you think a nurse with a full department can give him 24 hours' notice? Which is why you should've said no.

If it makes Priestman happy, who the hell cares? He's boring.

Well, isn't he?
- Where's the fractured ankle?
- I put her in Obs.

I want to keep an eye on that swelling.


- Ooh, sorry.


- Karen, we walk, never run.

Sorry, I was just getting my bag.

Slowly and thanks for looking after Mrs Goldman.

On their money, I'd run.

CCU say it's OK for Mrs Goldman to go up.

What are we doing about this thief, by the way? Well, I phoned the police.

They'll "send a man round when he's got some time.

"
- Oh, terrific.


- What do you want me to do? Frisk every patient, relative and member of staff? You're not implying one of us did it, Charlie, are you? Until my investigations are complete, no possibility can be discounted.

Charming! ( Guitar strumming) Big Rob? (Man) Is that you, Krystal? Yeah.

Do you two know each other? She came in with me.

What happened, girl? I had a fight with Titch.

Dirty cow broke my ankle.

She's got a kick on her.


- Big Rob?
- Yeah?
- How's your head?
- I think you two should be resting.

Did they take your gear off you? No, I kept it with me.


- Good girl.


- They've got thieves.


- You won't tell Titch.


- What, Turbomouth? She fancies you.


- What did she say?
- Said I was a lying cow.

Excuse me interrupting but this is an observation ward not the back row of the movies.

You're supposed to be resting.

(Whispers) Leave off, this is the best chance I've ever had.

(Whispers) Well, not for too long, OK? Big Rob? Why is there one on every single committee?
- Busy?
- Steady.

The fun's started again.

This time it's serious
- someone on the nick.

50 quid from Duffy's purse, Susie's present for Ponting, plus some medical equipment.

Any ideas? I phoned the police and they said they don't know when they can send a man round.


- Right.


- Right, what? Hmm? I'm sorry, Ewart, right just isn't good enough.


- What are we gonna do?
- This is a historic problem.

So is starvation.

It doesn't mean we just say, "Right.

" Charlie, if you have any ideas that are practical, we
- We're anxious about this problem.


- Yes, I do.

See, this is a problem for the administration.


- How is it, Charlie?
- Charlie, have you got a minute? I'm sorry, did I interrupt?
- No.


- Cubicle three.

Right.

I do this job because I'm good at it, but before you believe that, get one thing straight
- the people who work here come second only to the patients and if they're being att*cked or robbed or abused, I'm not gonna just stand around moaning.


- What's wrong with him?
- 48 hours without a cigarette.


- Of course.


- But he's right.

Charlie's the best charge nurse I've ever worked for and when he's angry, he's right.

50 quid is a lot of money.

I know.

I do know.

In a minute you must rest, Frank.

Nurse wants us out of here.

Kuba was just saying that the church in Lodz had fallen down.

Subsidence.


- You're from Lodz?
- Yes.

What a beautiful place.


- Yes.


- You go back? No, no not possible.

I was well, stupid.

In 1975, I went on cruise with my colleagues
- workers andand we visited Hamburg.

I had never seen such a nice place.

Poland seemed grey but Hamburg was like a party that didn't stop.

And me and my colleague, Ureck, we missed the boat.

Not very good idea.

I came to England because my father was here during the w*r.

And I live here.

I'm happy yes, but home is alwaysPoland.

Always.

You must come to our house for a meal.

Oh, would be nice.

You see how English I have become.


- Life goes on, eh?
- Yeah.

How did you survive? The camps? I was your age.

Younger.

Auschwitz was my school.

No, it's true.

Your schooldays are with you forever.

But the worst is, I have no roots here.

My homeland is Poland.

That's what the Nazis did for us.

And you should never forget.

Some day soon there'll only be books and photographs and there are always people who'll try to say it never happened.

Believe meit happened.


- That's enough.


- No, it's good he knows.


- Thanks.


- We should go.


- Dobranoc.


- Dobranoc.

(Elizabeth) How common is stealing? Common enough.


- And?
- The first principle of a good A&E is that nothing stops people coming in the door if they feel the need.

We and the ambulance crews are frontline.


- That's the theory.


- Theory makes rotten practice.

You don't seem that worried.

I'm concerned, but what else can I do? Charlie's already called the police, they'll turn up, take statements
- and wait for it to happen again.


- Look, Mr Plimmer
- Ewart.


- Ewart! There must be more you can do than that.

There is.

I'm calling for an inquiry.

If it's as widespread as you're implying, then we do something about it.


- Coffee?
- Yes.

If necessary, we look for security squads.

You'd pay for a security squad? I do what's necessary to stop the rot.

We can't have nurses losing £50.

That's a lot of money to a girl in her position.


- Isn't it?
- Yeah.

Well, show a bit more concern! If you've been on the frontline as long as me, you learn to economise.


- Glib.


- Nohonest.

My God, it's Miles.


- Duty sergeant, please.


- Mrs Straker.


- Elizabeth.


- Elizabeth, they're on their way.

Sergeant, Elizabeth Straker, Unit General Manager, Holby City Hospital.

We reported the theft of a nurse's purse several hours ago.

Yes.

I was wondering when an officer would be coming to check it out.


- It must be in here.


- What? They're saying three or four hours.

Yes, I appreciate you're busy, but what chance has this nurse of retrieving her property if the cavalry come charging in five hours later? Ye yes, I realise that.

Sergeant Sergeant! You don't need me to remind you of the need for good liaison between the emergency services.

I'm asking you for a favour.

Sergeant, Plimmer here, Casualty Consultant.

This is serious.


- What's got into you?
- Nicked my Walkman.

(Girl) Miles? Miles, what are you doing? Go away, please, go away.


- Miles?
- Please, Bess.

Come here, you're frightening me.

I'm useless.

I'll never be a doctor.

Poor Dad, the great consultant.

"Sorry, mate, your son can't quite cut the mustard.

" Get an ambulance.

He's going to be in shock.


- Are you OK?
- Hurry.

Miles It doesn't matter what your father thinks.

I think you're great.

Lots of people do.

Look, why don't you come here and we can talk some more?
- I don't want to talk.


- Miles! You sure you've seen nothing suspicious? If I'd seen anything, there'd be one petty thief on the critical list.

What about the police? They've been on a rally outside Birmingham.

Seems they left the duty sergeant and his cousin to patrol the whole of Holby.


- Isn't it your bedtime?
- Yes.

Funny how when you suspect someone they all look guilty.

I'll be up for the next couple of hours
- ring me if you have any success.


- When do you stop work?
- When I'm asleep.

Bess why did you study medicine? Lots of reasons.

I wanted to do something worthwhile.

Me too.

You still can.

You've got so much time.

Look if I come down, are they gonna make a fuss?
- Who?
- The police.

I'll talk to them.

See I can't even k*ll myself.

How are they doing? .

.

ever since you gave me Country Boy.

I still love you.

I can't help it.

Big Rob did you ever feel like that about me? I reckon any girl who's got the guts to speak out like that deserves more.

Time will take a memory they say I wish Sandy was here now.


- And it gets harder
- They're all right I take it?
- Fine, just fine.


- Good.

To live without you (Rings) Casualty.

Charlie?
- What are you doing here?
- I I'm waiting for my wife.

This is the porter's lodge.

I'm terribly sorry.

I was looking for the toilet.

Excuse me.

Wait a second.

What's your wife's name? Mrs Browning.

I'm Mr Browning.

She had a slight accident with the gravy.

Thank you.

Thank you very much.


- There's no others?
- No, just him.

(Applause and cheering) Stop it! For God's sake, stop it!
- Do you need backup?
- No, we can handle it.

A bit of TLC is needed here, I think.


- TLC?
- Tender loving care.

This is the one that deserves the medal.

Get them away.

Want to give the policeman his coat back?
- No.


- Oh, come on.

Sorry about the company, we've been busy.

Come on, give us the coat.

That's it.

Good boy.

Do you want to go with him? No, no thanks.

There's his parents' number if you need to call them.

OK, thanks, love.

I can't find a vein here.

He's completely shut down.

Come on, sunshine.

I think we ought to call it a day.

Unless his name's Lazarus.

11:20.

Will you certify?
- It was a bit nasty.


- Me and my big mouth.


- It wasn't your fault.


- Come on.

I thought the Lazarus gag was rather good.


- Will you apologise for me, please?
- Yeah.


- Mrs Browning?
- Yes.

I don't think so.

Right.

Where's Mr Plimmer? Went back to his office.

I think I find our thief.


- Sorry, Megan.


- Don't worry.

Happens to the worst of us.


- (Pukes)
- Good girl! That's it!
- Is he dead?
- Sorry, love? That man they brought in.

Yes, I'm afraid he is.

Excuse me.

(Classical music playing faintly through a Walkman) Here, you keep that, love.

I'll see you in a little bit, OK? Take it easy.

Good girl.

She's a very, very frightened little girl.


- Is Karen OK?
- Yeah, she's a bit shaken.


- Is she in the staffroom?
- Yeahwith Charlie.

So no one's talking.

No, no, you leave me alone.

Get your hands off me.


- All right, sit down.


- Don't want anything to do with this.


- Calm down.


- Get off!
- You all right?
- Yeah.

Says your driving's lousy.

I really wanted to be a nurse.

You think we should've gone on, don't you? Don't know.

You just all wiped your hands of him.

That's not true.

That is not true.

He had massive injuries to his head and his chest.

He might've gone on for another 20 minutes, but he wouldn't have lived longer.


- Mm.


- Huh? Yeah.

I'll be all right.

When I first started here, I was junior staff and they brought in this bloke, he was a fire victim.

I He was dead on arrival.

I couldn't stop shaking all day.

I had to run away, I hid and I cried.

Sorry.

All right.

Listen, why don't the two of you take a break, eh?
- (Knock on door)
- Come in.

Mr Plimmer, I have found our thief.


- How sure can you be?
- I put my house on it.

"How's it going, son? We're proud of you.

"Another great doctor in the family.

" I thought parents always pushed their children.

I wish mine had pushed me.

At least I'd have known they were there.


- You don't understand.


- Try me.


- Oh, how's Karen?
- Er, she's still a bit shaky.


- Cyril's with her.


- That was really stupid of me.

If we didn't cr*ck dumb jokes we'd go potty.

I think it's one of those nights.

I don't know.

It was that Polish lady that set me off.

I had to take her away and sit in a room with her on my own and she was just talking and telling me things.

And she said that, erm her ovaries had been poisoned by the, by the Nazis
- like she was a guinea pig or something.

Is that what she said? It's not that, I don't know, it's just no wonder people are frightened of hospitals.

(Sobs) Calm down, we'll get you there in no time.

That'll show you.

That'll bloody well show you! Our man misbehaving again? Andy! Sandra, no, leave it! Bastard! Sorry.

All right.

3004, control, over! (Radio ) Control.

Andy, you there? Sandra's been hurt.

She's been stabbed.

Get me some help.

OK, it's all right.

It's all right.

Shh.

What if he's armed? No, Kuba, that doesn't fit.

Walkman, gent's loo?
- Can you drive?
- Yes.

Move! You know the way to Holby City?
- Yeah, I'm a medical student.


- Move it.

Siren's on your left.

Pull it towards you.

(Siren) I don't know about you, Kuba, but I've never seen so many coppers.

It must be this chap who's nicking things.

Oh, yes, Mr Plimmer.

There's no escape.

Whole place is surrounded.


- Can I help you?
- Mr Browning, that is Sorry? That is stolen property.

Now, give it back.

Oh, yes, of course.

Would you mind if we had a little chat?
- What about?
- I feel I'd like to explain myself.

Is the interview room free? I think so.


- OK, but I won't waste time.


- Oh, no, of course not.


- (Knock on door)
- Thank you.


- (Megan) Ewart?
- Yeah? Come here for a minute.

I've just had a message from Control.

Something's happened on Ponting's ambulance
- it's Sandra.

Take Mr Browning to the interview room.

(Siren) Severe s*ab wound.

Get the resus room ready.

(Gasping) I'm here.


- Holby Casualty, go ahead please.


- (Radio ) s*ab wound, emergency.

What's going on? (Siren)
- Come on, her bleeding's getting worse.


- I'm driving as fast as I can.

Mrs Roehampton.

I pulled the Kn*fe out.

Why did I pull the Kn*fe out? Hey, hey, come on, shh.

I shouldn't have pulled the Kn*fe out.


- Andy?
- Don't worry, love, don't worry.

First left there.

Then first right.


- Andy
- Right? ETA? I can get no sense out of them, but Charlie and Ewart are waiting outside.


- Sounds bad?
- Very bad.

Come on, Ponting, put your foot down.

We'll call your name when we're ready for you.

It's busy tonight, so it might be a while.

Can I help you? I really don't want to hold you up.

What's the problem? May I? Yes.

(Siren) s*ab wound, upper abdomen.

She's lost a lot of blood.

I knew something would go wrong.

I knew it! I should've stopped him.

Come on, boys, she's going under.


- Come on.


- Nice and easy.


- Come on, love.


- Up we go.

Hurry up on her, come on.

Andrew, leave, please! Two peripheral lines and a central line.

Mary, eight units for cross
-match.

Unit of Haemocell.

We'll use as much O negative as they can spare.

I've been doing it for years, you see.

Ever since my wife passed away.

I don't need for anything.

I'm not wanting, it's just that I get a little lonely at times.

I can see you're very busy.


- Any pulse?
- Can't find one.

Let's open her up.

We've nothing to lose.

OK, let's keep it moving.

Charlie, save her.

Charlie, save her, for God sake.


- Andy, Andy, they're doing every

Charlie! They're doing all they can do.

Good morning.

Andyhave you got a description of this guy? Ican't remember.

OK.

Sit down, Andy.

- Only slightly.

We'll need you to make a full statement later, OK? What's your address, Miles? Block three, Ashcroft Hall, Holby East.


- What're you studying?
- Medicine.

Good for you.

No, don't say it, Charlie.

Don't say it, Charlie.
