Original subtitles

I need someone in my life. I need a girl to hold me tight.

Someone to make me feel, make me feel alright.

Somebody help me, yeah.

Somebody help me now.

Don't somebody tell me what I've done wrong.

It's in.

It's in.

You okay?

Yeah, of course you are.

You are going all the way in, right to the top.

That's what I know.

Because I am going to take you there tonight, Judy. Stop.

Everything's all right and I know.

Yeah, I know.

Hallelujah, I love the soul.

Now, if I call on the telephone and say, Hey, baby, I'm all alone.

By the time I'm counting.

The show will be over before we get there.

I can't wear one shoe to the show. People will think I'm daft.

Hello. It's not a hotel, you know. Yeah, I'm Faye.

Student nurse Huck.

I'm new.

Thought so.

Make sure you said you were coming.

I'm Carol, one of the nurses.

That's Lizzie behind the desk.

She's lost her shoe.

Yeah, which oddly isn't that unusual.

Welcome to the madhouse. I'm Dr Bayliss.

You going somewhere fun?

Depends on your idea of fun.

Danger, excitement, life on the edge.

Hey! Fancy a riotous night out? Don't you mean to go on?

No, I mustn't.

I ought to get settled in first.

First day tomorrow.

OK. I'll point you towards a nurse's accommodation.

Then we're going, even if you have to hop all the way there.

Don't worry. We're a friendly bunch.

Oh! Oh, sorry!

Oh, um, look, don't worry. I can get you a doctor. This is a hospital.

You don't say.

And you're here for your lobotomy, I presume.

You two, keep your hands in your pockets if you can't behave.

Brian. What? The toy.

Pick it up.

Well, I will have to do some tests to confirm it, but I would say that you're

probably anemic, Mrs Hastings.

Have you been having particularly heavy periods recently? They were.

They've settled down now.

I thought I might be finished with all that and they're like... Oh!

I saw that.

You, get here now.

Come here.

Bring me the guns.

Give them to me and stand here.

Their father would neither use nor honour me, but at least I could threaten

with him.

Oh, all right. Mr Hastings not around at the moment?

Round his fancy woman's.

Is it all right now? Does it look all right?

The people tell her birth is a swelling fit to burst.

Feels as though I've been kicked by a mule.

Or an ass.

What's going on?

It's the new nurse, Matron.

Bit of an accident.

New nurse indeed.

It's been over two minutes and she's maiming the staff.

Her case clonked him on the knee.

Oh, well, let's get you seen to.

Sister Bridget will take care of you, Student Nurse Clark.

And I shall see you in the morning.

That nurse has tinkered with a well -oiled machine.

If my handicap suffers, she'll be for the high job.

Oh, come now. I'm sure you'll still be able to knock a little ball around.

Me and Terry haven't been seeing eye to eye for ages.

It's all right.

It'd be easy if we had some money coming in. Mum, it's not my fault.

I tried my best.

I'm sorry, Doctor.

He's upset.

He got the sack from Jackson for butchers last week. He got a job as a

lad. It didn't last long.

I didn't know Brian had left school. He's 50. He didn't have much choice when

his dad went.

I can't raise five boys on thin air.

Why did he lose his job? He's too busy daydreaming. Well, it's teenagers for

you. Too busy thinking about other things, I suppose.

See you in the morning for Mary Thorne.

You're looking good, girl.

Eyes to me, sweetheart. Eyes to me, yeah?

Lovely.

I want your drugs in the air, yeah?

Andrea, can we have children, my darling? Thank you very much.

Lots of energy. Let's have fun, girl. Come on. I wouldn't give for a job like

that. Me too, lad.

In another life, perhaps.

I'll hang on for a bit. Good night to you.

And your leg, darling.

Just there. Perfect.

You okay, darling?

Lovely. Keep it there, girl. You're doing great.

Smile, girl. Smile, yeah?

That's it.

Right, girls. Time to move on, yeah? Get your kit together. Let's do it lively,

all right?

That's it.

Hiya, just one, please. It's on me.

Oh, thanks, Dom.

So far, so good?

Thanks for inviting me.

Well, technically, you invited yourself.

Oh, well.

Just going to show how keen I was.

Hi, Mum.

Hi, Bunty.

They're so brave!

That's more like it. It's called the Wall of Death.

Now that is not a good sign.

We won't see you on there then, Alan. Flying around on your scooter.

Pretty dishy. Yep, that one is so perfect.

Thank you very much, ladies and gentlemen. If you've enjoyed the show,

tell your friends. If you haven't, you're very difficult to please.

You've had your money's worth, haven't you?

Some people are never satisfied.

Everyone is to sit down with all their hands next.

Don't push it to me. It's not worth it.

You worry too much, Marlo. Yeah? You've got good reasons to.

Pam, head up, darling.

Lovely girl.

Andrea, I need more from you in the back there, my darling. More love. Give me

more. That's it, darling. Lovely.

Thank you very much. Pam, head up, darling. Head up.

Do your stuff. That's it, darling.

Perfect. Lovely.

Great. Right, take five, girls. Thank you very much.

Hey, Tar Jack.

You're a natural.

My assistant, Freddie, was supposed to do that.

Mind you, that's not the only thing he was supposed to do.

Let you down, is he? Nah, he never showed to come up here.

Then I get him and find he ain't no major thing.

Catering, transport, you name it.

Got to find reliable help.

And local knowledge.

Exactly, eh?

See, I told you, you can't keep doing this.

No need to panic, folks.

It's all part of the act.

Are you hurt?

It's my wrist. Oh, great. That's all we need.

Hello? Hello? Do you require a doctor?

Yeah, I'll be just a job. I won't know.

Oh, it's not me. I'm a receptionist. Lizzie Hopkirk. I know some first aid.

a doctor. On my way.

Thanks. As long as you come too, Lizzie Hopkirk.

Hello. I thought you'd love to be here. I have. This fellow's providing the

entertainment. And very good it was, too, until it all went a bit topsy

Jacket?

Jimmy's a stunt rider. Wall of death.

Hi, auntie.

They're brothers.

Came up his bike, sprained his wrist, so I thought he should have an X -ray.

You back, too?

No, no, sir.

Just my wrist.

I, er, I guess you'll have gone by the time I come on in the morning, at nine.

guess so.

I'll be here all day till five, so you know where I am, just in case you want

me.

Thanks for the information.

OK, then, Lizzie, I'm going to have to tell you away now. You can leave Mr

Barrett for Dr Allmard.

Nice to meet you, Lizzie. I'm Kirk.

You too.

Bye.

Sorry.

Hey.

Have you taken root?

I, my son, have been doing a bit of business. And you're on for a bob or two

all. What do we have to do?

Photographer's assistant.

Pointing Mr Palmer in the right direction, that sort of thing.

We could do very nicely at this.

How are we going to juggle it with work?

We have breaks, don't we?

Would you rather stay sat in a den sipping tea or getting out there with

beautiful people?

Hey, you never know.

You might find one of them falling for you if you're lucky. I wish.

Steady on, steady on. It's all right, I've got you. I've got you.

I don't think I'll be going home this early.

Just when the evening looks so promising.

I suppose... We could, um... Doctor, we need your help!

Yes, you've got a cracked fracture of the scaphoid bone.

OK.

I'm going to put a cast on it, keep the wrists rigid, and that'll help it to

heal. It'll take a few weeks.

I don't want a cast.

Just drop it up, it will heal.

Well, not properly, it won't.

And you run the risk in later years of all sorts of problems.

Arthritis.

Believe me, it's not a problem.

What about your back?

That's clearly troubling you.

That's not a problem either.

Oh, you really can't keep away from this place, can you?

Doc, her name's Cynthia. She was mumbling and she collapsed. She's going

sick, Alan.

There you go.

Could she have eaten anything that might not have agreed with her? I took the

girls to a restaurant down by the pier, the seafood place. Would you think it's

food poisoning? Well, nausea, stomach cramps, dehydration, could be acute

gastroenteritis. Any of the other girls, Bill? No, but Sim was the only one that

went for a shelter. She said she was feeling daring.

OK, I'm just going to give you something to help with the sickness, Cynthia.

There's 10mg of metoclopramide intramuscularly and keep her fluid level

dextrose alternating with normal saline. One litre every six hours.

Give me samples for culture and sensitivity to bacteriology. If the lab

confirm food poisoning, we'll need to contact the public health department.

Thank you.

Look, Doctor, I'd really like to get out of here.

I don't want to be in the way and hospitals aren't exactly my scene.

We left all the gear out and it took two people to put it away, so...

Please just stop it all.

All right.

Come and see me tomorrow and we'll discuss the carster then.

Now, you're not going to want to hear this, but you can't possibly ride a

motorcycle with an injury like that, Jimmy. You do know that, don't you?

Yeah, sure.

OK.

I'll get a nurse to attend you.

He's right.

Hey, I was going to walk with you.

I didn't want to be late.

You've got the right idea.

Matron's the stickler for timekeeping.

And other things.

Don't bite your nails or you'll be for it.

Mind your P's and Q's and don't run in the corridors.

She's got a real thing for that.

You'll do.

Come on.

Deep breath.

How are you this morning?

Looking forward to going home.

No offence, but I'm glad we're going back to London tomorrow.

I'll be the judge of that, thank you.

We'll try you on some food after we've got your test results.

I need to know you can keep it down before we discharge you. I will.

I'm sure I will.

Are you sure you don't want me to stay? I mean, I can cancel the shoot.

You go and be brilliant.

I'll come with you. I'm going that way.

I suppose those are for Dr Romrod.

Spot on.

I'm sure he's a lovely man, but he's not exactly my type.

Thanks for yesterday.

Thank you.

So, what are you doing for lunch?

You are a fast worker.

I don't have to be. A girl like you should get snapped up at any minute.

What do you say?

I'll buy you an ice cream.

What about you?

You're the sort of girl who can be lured out on a promise of a 99?

Let me see.

Yeah, I am.

I haven't known her very long, but, you know, she's a nice kid.

Enthusiastic. Certainly seems intent on becoming a successful model.

Just not at all cost, I hope.

You were picking away at something here, Doc.

Care to let me know what?

Sure. I think Cynthia would have had an easier time with it last night if she

wasn't so thin.

I wonder if she feels pressured to keep her weight down, given her line of work.

Yeah, well, not by me, if that's what you mean.

That's her decision.

Looks like I've got to fly.

Don't be late. I'll get 40 minutes for lunch. I don't want to spend it hanging

around like a spare part.

Yes, ma 'am.

See you later, then.

Oh, I'm a lucky girl.

That's not me by any chance, is it?

Nope, I am.

Now, Lizzie, I'd really like to speak to Mrs Hastings on her own. Would you just

look after the children for a minute? Of course.

Mrs Hastings, come with me.

This is a stoutry boxer. I've never been in here without my lot screaming for

England.

Well, Mrs Hastings, I have your test results.

You are an emissary. I knew it.

I'm no good an iron, am I?

Play bad bit with me inside.

Mrs Hastings, please.

You're pregnant.

You are the face of the hospital, student nurse Clark.

You must be confident.

Undecisive, yet cheerful and approachable.

I expect a lot from my staff.

The patients put their faith in us, their life in our hands.

It's a weighty responsibility. It's not to be taken lightly.

Oh, no, Matron, I wouldn't, Matron.

Ah, my assailant.

In her sheep's clothing.

Oh, Mr Rose, please.

Forty years I've been working on my swing.

Forty years!

Morning, Matron. Morning.

Who are you?

Oh, this is Student Nurse Clark, on secondment from York.

Ah, Suzie's replacement.

I had no idea you were starting today. You must have forgotten to tell me,

Matron.

It's a nursing matter.

Welcome aboard, Student Nurse Clark.

It's important I'm kept abreast of the comings and goings of staff, Matron.

I'd be grateful if you'd try to remember to keep me informed next time.

They've never been delivered before.

No need to tank us.

Indeed.

That journey will linger long in my mind.

Hey, Jackie boy.

You and your muck all right to hang around for a bit?

I could do with an end. We'll be out of a job at this rate.

Yeah, he's right. We'd better get back.

No problemo.

Cobber off, girls. I'll be with you in a tick.

I suppose we could spare five minutes.

Excellent.

There is something else I wanted you to sort out.

Bunch. How can I do it, Doctor?

How can I afford it? I can't even look after the kids I've got.

I can't cope.

I can't.

Thank you. I should go.

I hate you, but if there's anything I can do, I'm... I can't do the show with

cast on my arm. You can't do the show full stop.

You can't control a motorcycle with a broken wrist.

You risk serious injury, and then where would you be?

Look,

if you don't deal with this now, it's going to come back and haunt you when

you're older.

It won't, trust me.

If you want to help, then just give me the stronger painkillers.

Look, what's troubling you, Jimmy?

I can see that something is.

Well, maybe I can help.

You can't. Nobody can.

Well, how can you be so sure? Because I'm dying!

You can't do anything about that, can you?

Sit down before you fall down.

Harry, if that finger goes up any further, I'll have to get Mr Rhodes to

operate. Can't you get them to behave, Brian?

There's bound to be a few sharnies left over, some fruit. Always round the ward.

Why don't you just buy the girls for dinner?

He's going to give you some money.

I'll have a slice of cake when you can have the whole thing.

Common sense, lad.

Whoa! Stop! I surrender! I surrender!

Lucy, where's Mrs Hastings?

I don't know. She's not come through here.

Had a collider if she had.

Me and Marlon watched him die.

He was 42 years old.

One of the best stunt riders you've ever seen.

Doctors couldn't do a thing.

What was your father's condition?

His kidneys.

Probably something that I don't know. Probably cystic kidneys.

The cysts just keep on getting bigger.

So eventually the kidneys just give up the ghost.

It's hereditary.

Well, have you been diagnosed?

There's no need on what symptoms are. Well, how can you be sure?

You need blood tests and IVP to confirm or otherwise.

I just want to keep things at bay.

Just give me the painkillers and I can go. Well, you certainly can't go on as

you are.

Look, um... Have the tests and I'll get you the results as quickly as I can.

I can't prescribe anything unless you do.

This is just between me and you, right?

Strictly speaking, we should inform the child welfare department immediately.

Let's see who's got enough on a plate. This isn't like her, really.

Well, I can't stay in here.

There's the patients to consider.

We'll review things in an hour or so. For now, we'd better stick them in

somebody's office.

Oh, right. Oh, they've settled.

Excellent. Thank you, Jean. What?

No, no, no, I didn't mean... Meeting from the front, Miss McAteer.

Well done.

Her pulse rate was up and her blood pressure was down when she came in last

night. Miss Grant was rather poorly.

But I'm on the mend now.

One thing you'll learn, student nurse Clark.

Some of our patients are in a terrible rush to leave us.

But we like to leave that decision up to the doctors. Quite right. And this

doctor would like to keep you on the drip a little longer to get your fluid

level up. But there is good news. The test proved negative for bacterial

contamination. So your upset tummy must have been a food allergy of some sort,

which means we can organise something to eat. Something basic, not too much to

start with.

Sorry. I know you must be famished.

I'm OK.

I have to watch my figure.

Why is it all the models these days are as thin as sticks?

No offence.

Mr Palmer wants that look, I suppose.

I wouldn't put my health at risk, and neither would he.

I'll speak to the kitchen doctor.

You can clear the trays away now, please, student nurse.

You're new?

Yes, very.

It's my first day.

Poor you.

Must be hard meeting new people, finding out what to do.

I've only found out what not to do so far.

You'll get the hang of it.

I hope so.

I always wanted to be a nurse.

I always wanted to be a model.

It's only since I met Thomas that I've had the confidence.

He says you don't have to be the best model in the world. Just pretend that

are. Once you convince yourself, others will believe you. And if enough people

believe you, then it's probably true anyway.

a living day today.

Not sure our mother would approve of these boys, eh, Lizzie?

Hey, we're clean -living lads.

We wash behind our ears.

Jimmy can be quite civilised when he's in the mood. I'm talented.

Oh, he's now a stuntman.

Nice selection of goodies for you, Mr Palmer.

I've got an idea for dinner.

Mate, mine's got... Yeah, I've got the plans, Jack.

Right now, what I need is a couple of cool -looking guys who wouldn't look out

of place with my girls draped all over them.

You thinking what I'm thinking?

Think, Brian, think.

Did your mother say where she was going? I don't remember.

You must... remember, I don't. Don't you help me. I know she came in to see the

doctor. Don't open my drawers, please. And then... Don't open my drawers.

And then what?

Not funny, Brian.

Not helpful.

Well, absolutely no sign of Mrs. Hastings in the hospital.

I'm going to have to look outside.

Good idea.

I better send student nurse Clark in to help Miss McAteer with the children.

Nothing like a baptism of fire.

Cool. Oh, yeah, great lads.

Cool.

In closer, girls, yeah?

That's enough, you've got your shots.

Hey, appreciate your help, boys.

He was ace.

I don't think much to that modelling, like.

Thought you lads would have enjoyed it, you know. All part of the image.

It's not about the image, but doing something with your life.

Something real.

Oh, I agree.

Real life. That's where it's at.

Like the wall of death, I suppose.

Biggest buzz you'll ever get.

I bet. It must be thrilling.

The adrenaline.

The fear.

The thrill of overcoming it.

Not to mention the crowd. I wonder if you pull it off.

And look on their faces when you do.

Sounds great.

It is.

I see you there, Lizzie.

Can you?

Me and you twos up on a bike.

Jimmy. She'd bring the crowds in, that's for sure.

You'd be a star.

Why don't I have a go tonight before the show?

If it works out, then who knows where it can end?

Lizzie Knievel? You must be joking.

All right.

I'll do it.

Tonight.

I'm sorry, I was going to come back in.

You must think I'm awful.

You just needed a bit of time to think, did you?

Can't have much time.

You have five children on your own. You must be exhausted.

Exhausted, yeah.

Pregnant, anemic, broken marriage.

I've got plenty of excuses.

Well, that's no good, is it?

My boys need me.

They all need me.

But how can I do it? I just don't know anymore.

But Bunty wasn't any old rabbit.

Bunty was special.

With one flick of her ears, she could...

Oh, no, don't mind me.

Carry on, as you were.

What do you want?

Oh, don't be like that. I'm your mate.

Mates don't act like that, making me look small in front of Jimmy.

I just don't trust him.

I don't think he's up to it.

And you're the expert all of a sudden. Now, that's a joke.

Look, if you've got any sense, you'll stay away from that wall of death.

And stay away from him while you're at it.

If you think you can tell me what to do, you need your bumps felt.

This one for starters.

It feels like I've been hanging on by my fingertips for years.

Things were always tight when Terry was around.

But now, I don't think I can hang on much longer.

It was all arranged.

A friend of mine manages a shoe shop in the high street.

Good money, clean work.

Gets me all sorts of people.

A proper job.

You were really looking forward to it, were you? Oh, yeah. It might not be

everyone's dream, but it'll do for me.

I'm sure you've got problems of your own, Doctor.

I don't expect you to solve mine.

I could try.

Look, there are, um... There are options.

No, there aren't.

It's not this baby's fault I'm struggling.

I'm its mother.

I'm to protect it, not harm it.

That's my job.

Who's the right one, that photographer bloke?

Cynthia's boyfriend.

Boyfriend? Has anyone told him that?

What do you mean?

He's surrounded by gorgeous women.

He's like a kid in a sweet shop.

He's got pick and mix written all over him.

You're looking much better, sweetheart.

I feel better.

Great. The shoot is going really well.

In fact... Thomas, no, I haven't really made a plot.

No, you look fantastic.

Mr Palmer, not in here.

Sorry, Doc.

All done.

Right, well, you're clearly feeling a lot better. I believe you managed to

your lunch down. Any nausea? Other real effect?

No, none at all.

Well, rehydration is complete.

I'm happy to remove the drip.

You can go home when you're ready.

Really? Do you mean it?

Cool. You can do the rest of your shots tonight, then. The light is brilliant.

Perfect for you. Yeah, you should take it easy for a while. And nothing too

strenuous, Doc.

It's our big moment, that's all.

It'd be a shame to miss out, but if you don't want to... I'll be OK.

Faye can come. Keep an eye on me.

Say you will. We'll have a laugh.

Oh, I don't know.

Go for it.

As long as you don't go getting any ideas about a career change.

I'm the man of the house now. Yeah.

But I keep getting things wrong.

I don't know why.

I just do.

Did Mum tell you I got sacked?

She did, yes. I'm sorry to hear about that.

I try to do well.

I know Mum needs the money, but... I'm useless.

Brian?

Come on, knocking off time.

Should I go and watch Cynthia tonight? I mean, would Major mind?

We are allowed to have fun.

Had she got off to all sorts when she was a young nurse?

Well, maybe not.

Sure you won't come?

No, not interested.

Don't let Lily do outcasts.

I asked Marlon what makes a good stunt rider.

He said it's not about taking risks, it's about eliminating them.

If Jimmy was reckless, it wouldn't have lasted this long.

Are you in love with Thomas?

Yeah. I think I am.

All right, girls, top up.

Oh, Mr Palmer.

I was wondering, um, it's a bit delicate.

Don't tell me it's fondulis?

I don't like to ask. Ah, well, then you ask me, old son.

But the thing is, um, I don't want to lose my focus, you know.

Photography's one thing, but accounting, pfft, completely different part of the

brain. Let's, um, settle up at the end of the night, shall we?

so lucky.

Thomas is so talented, and he's starting to get noticed in London.

He's going to be famous soon, and then he'll be able to pay a sculptor model

him.

Do you have a boyfriend?

Oh, no.

No, I'd like one, just haven't had the opportunity.

I did have a pen friend once.

I don't suppose that counts, really.

Cynthia, are they smoking what I think they're smoking? It's part of the scene.

It feeds your creativity, makes you more receptive.

It's good to expand your horizons.

That's what Thomas says out of his... He says it gives him ideas and he sees a

bigger picture, but... Well, everyone does it in London.

We took magic mushrooms yesterday.

You didn't?

Sure, I mean, it's no big deal.

Hey, come on, let's have some fun.

Do you know, she even asked me how I was coping since my broods expanded. I

mean, I felt terrible.

It's not like our situations are hardly comparable, are they? Well, Winnie

Hastings is one of life's fighters.

She'll come through this.

Oh, I don't know. I'd feel a lot happier if Brian was a bit more useful. He's

been acting very strangely recently.

Well, in what way?

Well, a sort of lack of concentration, really. He keeps disappearing into a

world of his own.

Sounds like normal teenage behaviour to me.

Staring.

A lot of concentration, these sudden absences.

That all leads to the same thing, doesn't it?

Gordon, you're a genius.

See you later.

Ah!

Alan, maybe you can help me.

I'll do my best.

Any idea where this wall of death thing is? I thought I'd dropped by.

I didn't know that was your sort of thing, Doctor. Mind you, I didn't

Lizzie would be tearing round on it either. I'm sorry?

Jimmy's taking her on it tonight, on his bike.

I know. She must be mad.

Well, in the car, she must have.

We've got to stop. Jump.

Was that the door?

Oh.

Doctor.

Hello, Mrs Hastings. I'm sorry to call so late. I hope your boys let me in.

Would it be possible to have a quick talk with you and Brian, if he's around?

Yeah, come in. Thank you.

There's not much room, is there?

I'll hold on tight.

You can hold on as tight as you like, Lizzie Hotkirk.

Look, if you pull this off, you can stay on the show tonight.

After that, we'll be no stoppers.

Alan? Doctor?

Hey, stop!

Let her off! What's going on? I told your brother not to ride with a broken

wrist. He certainly can't control a motorcycle with someone else on it.

Stop! Jimmy!

Jimmy, stop!

Please!

Stop!

Let me off, Jimmy. I've had enough.

You're fine. Why is everybody making such a fuss?

Jimmy, I've got your test results. I need to talk to you. There's nothing to

say. I know the score.

Jimmy!

It's just a kidney stone, that's all.

They ask him to fetch something.

He doesn't do it. He goes somewhere, forgets why he went there.

I don't do it on purpose.

Did you have the same problem at work? Is that why Mr Jackson's dead, do you

think? Yeah, he thought I wasn't interested.

But I like the work.

I like going out on the... They are, you see. Have you noticed this before?

Well, yeah, he does that.

It's like the lights go off for a while.

There you see.

Stops. Suddenly it starts.

What?

What is it?

I think you may be suffering from a form of epilepsy, Brian. It's called petty

mal. I'm going to refer Brian to a neurologist. He'll do an EEG. That'll

his brainwave. We should be able to start medication straight away and

feel a lot better, Brian. You might even be able to get another job if you want

one. Yeah, that'd be great. One sip, Mum. As long as you're all right. That's

the main thing.

Jimmy! Jimmy!

Stop!

Jimmy!

Towards me, yeah? Look into the camera, darling.

Terrific!

It's Sister Bridget.

Do you know where you are?

This doesn't make any sense. She seemed to have recovered, discharged only a few

hours ago. Now this.

Ah, OK, there. Blood sugar test, less than two. Very hypoglycemic. I'll set up

glucose drip. Thank you, Sister.

She's very tender over the liver.

Yes, early signs of jaundice here. Something's poisoning her liver. What on

earth has she been eating now?

She took magic mushrooms yesterday.

Could it be that?

What? She told me this evening.

She said that Mr Palmer gave them to her.

No, but hang on. Magic mushrooms wouldn't cause this reaction.

OK. Another type of mushroom, perhaps.

A poisonous one.

Is that Jimmy Barrett? Not him as well. What is it with these two?

OK. I can't move my legs, Doctor.

Please, I can't move my legs.

Right, BP is low. We need to put up a saline drip. I'll also need 10

of morphine, 50 milligrams of cyclosine. We'll administer it through the drip.

Any movement of the legs in the ambulance or the scene?

No, but it's tended to the touch over T11, T12 and L1.

Need those x -rays as soon as possible.

OK. All right, Jimmy.

Thank you.

Tell me if you can fill this, all right?

There. No. All right.

How about there?

Yeah, I don't know.

I can't lose my legs, Doctor. I'd rather die.

We can't give adequate treatment unless we know exactly what we're dealing with,

Mr Palmer.

Cynthia Two -Week needs our help to fight the toxins.

We need to know more about the mushrooms.

I picked them myself.

Do you know what you're looking for?

It's very easy to pick the wrong thing. Yeah, I have a fair idea, but...

I'm no expert.

One or two poisonous mushrooms in with the rest and you've got yourself a game

of Russian roulette. It explains how she could be the only one to fall ill.

I need to come here.

What do you think?

Well, given her condition, stomach upset, nausea, dehydration, temporary

respite, I think we're most likely dealing with a death cap mushroom.

Let's move her to a sideboard.

Do what we can to make her more comfortable.

Hey, look, I was trying to help her.

You know, open her mind to new experiences.

Look, this was an accident. Surely everyone can see that. I mean, I'd never

Cynthia. I really like her.

You like a lot of girls, don't you?

That's just the way I am. I don't pretend otherwise.

I was trying to have some fun, so was she, and I never lied to her.

You misled her.

Didn't reveal all the facts, just like you didn't tell the doctor what she'd

taken. Neither did she.

She kept quiet to save your skin.

And we all know that's what you're really worried about.

Even now.

So say what you like.

But she's really ill because of you. No one else. You.

This is not my fault.

And I'm not taking the blame for this.

Mr. Palmer, where are you going?

Mr. Palmer!

Stop!

Stop!

Mr. Palmer!

Mr. Palmer!

Mr. Palmer!

Mr. Palmer! Mr. Palmer, please, stop him!

What's going on?

I hope you'll not leave him without settling up.

Yeah. Take this and get that thing out my way, yeah?

Here. Move, man, move!

Don't let him go.

It's his fault Cynthia's ill. Don't listen to her. She knows nothing. Here,

it all. It's all yours. Just let me go, please.

Keep your money.

You're going nowhere, pal.

She's only a child.

She is.

And she's not strong enough to put up a fight.

All her systems are closing down. Kidneys, liver, heart.

And on top of all that, she now has hepatic encephalopathy.

Is there nothing more you can do?

Make her as comfortable as we can. It's in the lap of the gods now.

I'll call the police.

They may want to make some inquiry.

I've contacted her next of kin.

Her mother's on her way up from London.

Thank you, sister.

But she may not have that long.

Staghorn calculus.

Kidney stones.

Very large and very painful, but entirely treatable and not life

I thought I... It's not polycystic kidneys.

You're not dying.

Bit of a major boo -boo.

And you're lucky enough to live to tell the tale, by all accounts.

Lookie!

Look at me!

I can't feel my legs.

Well done. You've been an idiot.

We both are.

Mr Palmer was trying to leave, but Mr Bell stopped him, Matron.

Matron.

She's gone.

It seems the poison caused extensive damage to her internal organs and

I simply couldn't fight it any longer.

It's all right.

For you.

Thank you, that's very kind.

Mr Jackson came round, said he was a bit hasty about sacking me.

He'll give me another chance.

Good, ain't it?

That's very good. Good. I'm glad he had second thought.

I presume you had a word. Thank you.

I'm glad Brian's pleased.

And, look, life should get a lot easier once it starts with medication, and you

never know, maybe the thought of number six won't be quite so daunting.

I'm coming round for the idea, and if Brian can bring in a few quid, we'll be

all right.

Bye. Thank you.

You're not throwing the towel in.

You are going to ride that bike again, Jimmy.

I won't count on it.

Look, it's not so long ago. You thought you were dying.

You've been given a second chance.

He's right.

Make the most of it.

Lizzie.

Marlon said you thought you were dying.

Yeah.

It's funny, isn't it?

I thought I was a dead man walking.

Turns out I'm going to live.

So I'm going to walk again.

Dr Omrod, quick.

What? What is it?

His leg, it moved.

Look.

Oh, that's excellent.

And again.

I did it.

I did it. I knew you would.

I knew it.

That's great.

Right, it's going to be one step at a time, as they say. It will take a while,

but I think you're going to be fine.

Well done.

Lizzie.

Lizzie! What a horrible night.

How come he gets nine lives, eh?

He's gambled with his life week in, week out. And that poor young model dies

after just one death mistake.

That's life, isn't it?

It's not always fair.

Cynthia told me that... She would imagine that she was a really good model

somehow that would make it come true.

Do you think that would work?

I don't think it's a substitute for hard work and determination.

It's all right.

We need.

Not a problem.

She's after having an exceptionally hard day. I hope she'll be all right.

I think she will.

We're all tested occasionally, sister, as you know, but we can be stronger for

it. Hey!

Indeed we can, Mitchell.
