Previously on Casualty...We could
do this, together, you know?

The three of us. I know we could.

Some people found out
I used to be a dealer.

Then they found out
about you working here.

Mum, they want pain meds.

What are you doing there, Jan?

Is this anything to do
with Huntington's?

It couldn't possibly be.

But I need her to trust me.

What is telling her
going to achieve? Nothing.

HEAVY BREATHING

SHE MURMURS

Wait till I get home
and I'll help you.

It's OK. I got it.
CLATTERING

Ash?!

I'm fine! Just dropped my rucksack.

You're not allowed in the loft
without me.

Mum, my bag's full of stuffed toys.

You should bin all this old junk.
No.

SHE GASPS

Hey, I don't remember
this blue rabbit thing.

Ash, just put the toys on my bed.

OK.

Takeaway?Check.

Petrol to drive me
to the airport tomorrow?

Check.Thanks, Mum.

Love you.Love you!

Oh!

CAR ALARM WAILS

Hm, I'm not sure this
nursery cam app's working.

The light's on. It's just...

Right, so, first one, um...

I showed all my tattoos
to the Dalai Lama.

OK. And what? One of these is true?

No, two's true and one's a lie...

Um...

I was a runaway bride.

Lie.

Er, and I once went to a beach party
wearing nothing but body paint.

Well, as appalled as I am
by all of them...

Great!

..there's no way you showed
the tattoo on your hip

to the Dalai Lama,
so that's the lie.

Correct.

So, you were a runaway bride?

Your turn.

OK.

Two truths, one lie.Yeah.

Oh, dear, someone's not going to be
awake long enough to say

hello to Jan.

No, I will.
She's got some baby sleep tips

for me and I'm not leaving
till I get them.

Anyway, come on, your turn.

OK.

I once...chased a sheep
across a field at night

with Charlie Fairhead.

Whoa!

Oh, come on! OK. And I've...

..I've written two-thirds
of a novel.

No!Yeah.

Fantasy fiction.What? Ethan!

Why didn't you tell me,
so I could be all proud?

Well, I'm not ready to share it yet.

Oh. Still don't really know you,
do I?

BABY GURGLES

Jade, this place is amazing!

I know, right?

Oh, I've been going stir crazy
at home!

I bet. Hey, did you get
an official warning?

Mandatory leave.

HR made me do a refresher course
on confidentiality,

but Lev let it go, so...

Let's get a drink!Yeah!

DANCE MUSIC

How cool is this?I love it!

Thank you so much for inviting me.

Honestly, Faith, it was the least
I could do after everything.

Forget about it. Forget about it.
I'll grab us this table.Yes!

Oh!

Er, right,
what do you want to drink?

Oh, what am I feeling?
What am I feeling? Um, surprise me.

A cocktail! Thanks.

MUSIC QUIETENS FOR JADE

b*at BECOMES VERY FAINT

Here he comes!

BABY CRIES

SHE MOUTHS

Injuries obtained upon impact
with stationary lorry.

Hannah has an open fracture
of the right tibia.

Cap refill is slowing.Is Ash here?

There are multiple fragments
of glass in both legs.

No midline c-spine tenderness.

Resps 16, pulse 120,

BP 110/75. GCS 15 throughout.

We've given 20 mgs of morphine.

4 mgs of ondansetron.

OK, great, thank you.Cheers, Leon.

Hannah, my name's Dr Hardy.

I'm just going to have a listen
to your chest.

Air entry remains normal.

My daughter should be here by now.

Yes, I believe one of the paramedics
has called your daughter

and she's on the way in.
Let's get FBCs, U&Es,

and group and save, please.

SHE MOANS

Yeah. OK.

Let's get the sedation checklist.

20 mg of IV ketamine
and 1 mg of IV midazolam, please.

Reduced cap refill.
And a weakened pedal pulse.

OK.

Hannah, you have an open fracture of
the tibia. We will need to re-align.

Its current position is actually
affecting the blood supply

into your foot. We're going to give
you a mild sedation

and then we're going to manipulate
the bone back into place.

Can we prep for plaster, please?
1.2 g of co-amoxiclav IV?

Sure, will do.

Look, I'll speak to one
of the receptionists

and we'll call your daughter again
and find out where she is.

Thank you.

John's homeless. Possibly suffered
from recurring gout

due to uncontrolled diabetes.

Eduardo's on the phone
to Social Services now.

Is he a pastor?Yeah.

Yeah, they work on the streets.

They're connected to the church.

Ed and I met through my mum,
twenty-plus years ago.

Can you get John triaged, please?

You know, I didn't take overtime
to be stuck in triage all night.

A busy night shift is definitely
not the place for quality time.

Mm? OK.

And those pretty brown eyes
aren't going to distract me.No?

Georgia?Can you help me, please?

Of course.Georgia?

Sorry, I thought
you were someone else.

Do you want to come with me?

DANCE MUSIC PLAYS

DANCE MUSIC IS MUFFLED FOR JADE

DANCE MUSIC PLAYS

OK, are we ready?1.2 mg of
co-amoxiclav and tetanus

are drawn up and in the tray.
X-ray are ready when we are.

All right, Hannah, here we go.

SHE MOANS

Yeah, there we go.

So, like, how is Lev?

Uh, I don't know.

He avoids me.What?

MUFFLED:He avoids me.

Which is hard when you live
in the same house,

but he's very good at it.

That is hard.Mm!

Did you ever suspect?

That he was gay?

No. No, never.

There were... All the signs
were that he fancied me.

I mean, maybe he's bi?
You know, if the sex was good?

Actually, yeah, the sex was great.

But, you know, after we had kids,
it didn't happen as often,

but that's normal and, then,
when we both went back to work,

we were too tired, you know,
too busy, different shifts.

I felt really stupid, Jade,
for not knowing.

Faith, you're not stupid.

Your feelings are valid.
But I did, I felt stupid.

And then I felt angry.

I thought, "How dare he?

"How dare he waste my best years
on a lie, you know?

"I could have been loved."

He... He does love you.

Not properly.

For me... For me, it was real,
you know?

It was forever.

I was so proud of our little family.

And you should be proud.

You have an amazing family.

I do, I have amazing kids.

And what about...?
What about Dr Keogh?

Huh...

Dr Keogh. Um...

Let's do sh*ts!OK.

And maybe some water?Oh, right, OK.
Well, sh*ts, water.

And, er, more cocktails?OK!

You're treating me tonight!I am!

I often see Georgia.

She always looks 17.

How old is she now?

37.

Thank you for saying,
"How old is she?"

I always think that. Until someone
tells you otherwise,

you've got to keep the hope alive.

She's been missing 19 years
now, Jacob.

No-one's looking any more.

You are.

For what good it does.

You started this commitment
for Georgia,

but you stayed for the likes
of John.

That's your daughter's legacy.

Never forget that.

BABY CRIES

Can I help you?

Yeah, sorry, mate. Iain Dean.

I used to work here.
I was just after a quick chat.

Yeah, Jan talks about you,

mostly when I've done
something wrong.

She's been a bit stressy recently.

Add a baby into the mix,
I am steering well clear.

But, I mean, be my guest.

Nah, you're all right. It'll wait.

Cheers.

Er, Leon. I'm me.

I'm Leon Cook.

Nice to meet you.
Do you have any advice?

I mean, you must have seen it all,

the amount of years
you've racked up.

All right, it's not that many!
Advice?

Yeah, the only patient that matters
is the one in front of you.

You make sure they know it.

And don't stand downwind of Jan
on a Saturday morning shift.

Them Friday night curries.

Thank you, hon.

TELEPHONE RINGS

Sorry, David, could you file that
for me while you're there, please?

Yeah, sure. OK, I've got to go,
bye.Hello?

"You are the master
of my universe.

"And I'd like to..."

Give it to me.What?

Oh! Oh, I get it. I get it.

Jacob Masters -
master of my universe.

Jacob, look, really, I'm very
flattered...David, please.

Yeah, all right, all right.

But I'm just going to have to ask
Rosa first before...Give it!

OK, jumpy, jumpy.

Hey.Give it!Sorry.

TELEPHONE RINGS

The position of your leg is good,
but there are still

a lot of glass fragments, which
we need to remove in theatre.

OK, so while we're waiting for a bed
upstairs, I'm going to get

someone from Orthopaedics to come
and explain the operation to you.

Can Ash be with me now?
She'll be worried on her own.

Yes, we've put you in here
so that she can come and see you.

She's just in the Relatives' Room.

DANCE MUSIC PLAYS

MUFFLED MUSIC, SHE PANTS

SHE MURMURS

Hey. Social Services
have just arrived for John.

So, I'm going to head back out.

My man. You take care, yeah?

It's Georgia's mother.

You've gone gooey-eyed.

Is that a picture of a new baby
or a new puppy?

Erm, my baby boy.

Sorry, I shouldn't...
No, no, you keep watching.

They go from baby to adult
whilst your back's turned.

You think you'll be able to remember
it all, but you can't.

So, you keep watching.

Don't miss a second.

Talk to her.

She won't want to see me.

Yeah, but that was a lifetime ago.

I walked out, Jacob.

From what you told me, you
and Hannah took very different paths

when Georgia went missing.

It sounds like staying
would have been worse.She...

She tried to hurt herself
to make me stay.

And I still left.

We think we'll always have
our children, but we don't.

The truth is,
we're not parents for long.

Is there a mum?

Yes.

Share everything, good and bad.

You have to be a team.

For him.

POUNDING DANCE MUSIC

Come on, Jade. Answer the phone.

Jade!

Is that you?

Jade?

UNDER HER BREATH:Where are you?

Jade!

Hello, Hannah.

Are you OK? What happened?

This isn't a good time, Ed.

You need to leave.

My... My daughter will be here
any minute.

Of course!

I saw her.

Oh, Hannah, she made my heart jump.

I should have known
she had to be yours.

You need to go.What's her name?

Ashlee. Ash.

Can I say hello?Of course not.

She looks so much like Georgia.

You need to go. You need to go.

Please, Ed!

She doesn't know about Georgia.

Mum!

What's wrong?

Do you know each other?

No. He just works here.

Mum. What's going on? Who is he?

I'm sorry, Han. I'll go.
You do know him.

He calls you Han. Who are you?

I'm just a friend, that's all.
A friend from a long time ago.

Are you my dad?

No!Oh, no.No, my darling.

You said my dad was dead!

MUFFLED DANCE MUSIC
AND AUDITORY RINGING

MUFFLED:Keep moving.

Sorry, she's had too much to drink.

CELLPHONE RINGS

CELLPHONE RINGS
Come on!

You're going to wish
you could remember this.

Jade? Hey! Get away from her!

I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry!

MUFFLED:I'm here now.

Jan is moving in.

You're taking an early break.

Yeah, I saw you waking up.

I thought we could take this
opportunity to eat together.

Sorry, you saw me waking up?

On the...

Ah.

Ethan. This is lovely.

Ta-da!Mm!

They were out celebrating an 18th.

Her friends didn't even notice
she was missing.

Nobody started looking
until it was too late.

I was asleep in my bed,
whilst Georgia was...

I just wanted her back.

So, you had me?

No!

It all makes sense now.

The rules, the curfews.

No boyfriends, no night job, no car.

Always checking that
I'm where I say I am.

You just wanted a second chance
to get it right.

So, who is my dad?

Tell me!

I worked with him
for a couple of months.

He moved away.

Does he even know about me?

I know you have a few questions.

Actually, I only have one more.

Would you have had me
if you still had her?

Don't leave. Don't let her leave!

SHE MOANS

OK, you're going outside.
Right now, please!

David! David! Help me get Hannah
to Resus.

MUFFLED:Leon's here. We're going to
get you to the hospital, OK?

I don't want anyone at work to know.

I'm going to take care of that,
all right?

Everything's going to be all right,
I promise.I feel so stupid.

I just want to go home.
Hey, I think she was spiked

and her hearing aids are broken.

Hey. It's Leon.

It's Leon.

You're safe.

You're safe.

OK. Let's activate
the major haemorrhage protocol.

I need 1g TXA infusion
and O neg blood

and check that the doctor's on
their way.Heart rate 138.

BP 70/40.

OK, now, the tourniquet needs
to go mid-thigh.

We need to get it tighter.
Tighter?Yeah, tighter, tighter.

DAVID GRUNTS
OK. How's that?

OK, that's stopped.You sure?
Nice work.

Fast-bleep Orthopaedics
and Vascular.

Tell them
she's an emergency now.Right.

And chase the theatre porters.

More swathes. More. More.

AUDITORY RINGING

Ah, Dr Keogh, has your HDC patient
been triaged yet?

Yes, by me.
Anything I need to know?

Nobody is to go in there, please.

It looks like a glass fragment
punctured the popliteal artery

behind your mum's knee.

We've stopped the bleeding and the
artery will be repaired in theatre.

Ash, your mum's going to be OK.

Shall I get her an overnight bag?

I've got no money for a taxi.

I wish I could drive.

Now that everything's out...

..I don't know what to do.

I let her manipulate me.

I'm supposed to be flying
to Australia tomorrow.

Can't leave her now, can I?

Has she ever responded irrationally
to you wanting to do something?

If there's a worst-case scenario,
that's where her mind will go.

Give me a second.

Oh, Jacob...Not now.

Look, I'm sorry, but...Look,
what you did was disrespectful,

leaving notes around like that.

What? Do you think you deserve
special treatment from me?

You respect my position on this ward
or you transfer out.

You were never asked to join
MI5 in med school!

That is definitely a lie.

OK, I'm not good at this game.

Well, lying's hard. But I like that
you're rubbish at it.

See, I know the next thing
you say has to be true.

Yeah? Maybe I do know you,
after all.

I have the Huntington's gene.

MUFFLED INDISTINCT SPEECH

MUFFLED:She must have been
terrified.

MUFFLED INDISTINCT SPEECH

HEARING AID FEEDBACK

Jade.

I'm so sorry.

Ash, when you told your mum
you were going to Australia,

how did she respond?

She banned me. I had to wait till
I was 18 so I could overrule her.

It must have been difficult for her,
now that you're an adult

and you can make your own choices,
right?I suppose.

She got her own way in the end,
though, didn't she?

I'm going nowhere.

I don't mean... She didn't do it
on purpose.

Is that what you meant? About her
responding irrationally?

You think she did it on purpose?

So, this is why you didn't
want to be a dad?

Why you rejected us?

Yeah. I was scared by what it meant.

If you'd known I was still
pregnant sooner...

..would you have wanted me to get
an abortion?

I would have liked the opportunity
to ask all of the questions.

Are you actually having a go at me
about keeping secrets?

Fenisha, I'm constantly scared.

And, yes, that holds me back.
It stops me from being honest.

I need you to know that this...

This family is the most important
thing in the world, OK?

But...

..there is a 50% chance of
Bodhi developing Huntington's.

No.

MUFFLED VOICE OF ATTACKER

You're going to wish
you could remember this.

ECHOING:You're going to wish...

Is Jade OK?

Physically, yeah.

She's in shock. Denial, really.

She needs to talk.

Come on, Faith. You were the only
one that was there.

You're the only one that can do it.
Yeah, well,

considering I was at the bar
flirting with the barman,

I think I'm the last person
that she needs.

Sip that.

If you rehydrate too quickly,
then you'll be sick.

What? Is that the first rule of
the alcoholic's handbook?

No. Rule number one is you don't
take anyone else down with you.

I'm sorry.

You know, I...

I think we were drawn together by
one trauma after another.

Traumas pass,
and then what are you left with?

I used to be so much stronger
than this. I don't know.

I need... I need to get back
to that

for my kids and... And...

..for myself.

Did you think I was leaving
for good?

Like Georgia did?

Like Eduardo did?

Is that why you crashed the car?

I'm terrified...

..every minute of every day.

My mind fills with the most awful
thoughts and I can't make it stop.

Is that how you want me to feel?

As scared as you?

I love you.

You didn't need to make me stay.

You just needed to talk to me.

I'm going to lose one,
maybe both of you.

Even though Bodhi can't be tested
until he's 18,

the illness can be pre-empted with
a healthy lifestyle, a good diet,

lots of vitamin B12...No. Ethan,
I can't hear this, I can't.

This is why.

You said you don't know
the real me.

Well, this is why.
Because it comes with a burden

that you don't deserve.

Well, too late.

I know.

I should have told you sooner.
I know.

I'm so sorry I've avoided
it for so long.

But I can't keep doing that.

Every second counts.

I don't have time to be scared
any more.

When Eduardo and I lost Georgia,
all I wanted was another child.

Just to fill that space in my heart.

But Georgia's irreplaceable.

Just as you are irreplaceable, Ash.

I'm so sorry I've dealt
with things so badly.

I haven't dealt with things at all.

But I will.

I promise I will.

Go to Australia.

Have a wonderful time.

And come home.

Please.

HEARING AID FEEDBACK

DISTORTED:Jade, why don't you
come home with me? Hm?

Jade. Come home with me.

DISTORTED:I'll cook us
some nice food.

You can stay in the spare room.

DISTORTED: I'm fine.

You should go,
you've been here all night.

I'm not leaving you.

Oh, I feel...

I'm all unbalanced. I've only got
one hearing aid. And...

Does everyone know?
Sweetheart, no, no.

Just Dylan. Just Dylan.

Why did he pick me?

Did he see me take my hearing aids
out and thought

I was an easy target?No, this had
nothing to do with you...

Yes, it did!..and everything
to do with him.

People treat me
like I'm less than them.

Not as smart, not as important.

I can't change who I am.

Why on earth would you want to?

It just takes one person.

One thing to take me back to being

that bullied little girl in care.

You know, he's the one
that's nothing, not me.

He's the one that should have been
in the rubbish, not me.

Yes, absolutely. Absolutely.

I couldn't move!

He could have done anything.

Sweetheart, sweetheart,
but he didn't.

You're safe now.

From the second I found out
I was pregnant with your baby,

I've been to hell and back.

The Huntington's might be out of
our control,

but how we deal with it isn't.

Whatever the future brings,
we're a team.

Take us home.

OK.

I'll just get my things.Yeah.

Thank you.

I'm sorry for the trouble
I caused today.

It wasn't you.

Are things OK now?

She does look like Georgia,
doesn't she?

She's strong and smart like her,
too.

And she does that twitchy eyebrow
thing when she's angry.

Sit down if you like.

I've, uh...

I've got to go see a social worker
about a guy I brought in.

Can I come back?

That'd be nice.

I'll bring breakfast.

Get some sleep.

Jacob?

Come on, will you at least
let me buy you breakfast?

Look, Jacob, I'm sorry.

I know you take your job
very seriously. I wasn't...

Please don't think that
I was being disrespectful.

It's not easy being your boss
as well as your boyfriend.

Leave the joking around for at home.

I get it. So, breakfast later?

No. Thanks.

I'd like to know more
about this, though.

Hey, grub.

Come on, then.

Let's go see Daddy.
