This our MVA, Kyle?

You got it, mate.

Chris Harrison, 46-year-old male. Moderate speed MVA.

CHRIS: My son, my son.

Courier van drove through a stop sign, collected Chris's car.

CHARLOTTE: Hold your head still. CHRIS: Please, please.

Was his son in the car? No, just Chris.

He has right-sided blunt chest trauma.

Airbag deployed.

Decreased chest expansion.

BP 140/90. Heart rate 92, resps 36.

He's been really agitated.

We'll get in contact with your son when you're inside.

Right now it's best if you try not to talk.

CHARLOTTE: Pulse 94. Sats 95.

Trache is midline.

Decreased chest expansion.

Tomorrow.

Listen, Chris.

The more upset you get, the worse pain you'll have,

and it'll be harder to breathe.

Decreased breath sounds on the right-hand side.

What's going on with radiology? This man needs an ICC.

I'll find out.

Can you get a portable down here?

Dan, can you prep the tube? You right here?

I'll cover the floor while you get this under control.

Sure.

Luke. Here. Luke.

He's not here. He wasn't in the car.

Patient.

He's a patient in this hospital?

Alright, Chris, I'm going to take some blood out of your wrist.

It's going to sting a bit.

Renal ward. Right, okay.

Don't worry. We'll let him know what's happened.

CHARLOTTE: Fluid in the abdomen. Frank, what's the story?

There's no sign of any collection in the chest cavity.

I'd say we're dealing with a right-sided pnemothorax -

hypoxia, decreased breath sounds.

Rib pain. X-Ray?

Not yet. Jack can do the chest tube.

Renal Ward was on the second floor last time I looked, Dan.

Drop that off to Pathology.

Should I get Kate to take over?

Just tell him everything's on target.

What's on target? Don't worry. He'll understand.

Sure.

Oh, God. The firing line again.

Why vomit into a bucket when you can vomit all over me?

Do we need a PSA for that or did you cop the lot?

Yeah, I think I got most of it. It could be worse.

How exactly? Patient could have had bird flu.

The day's not over, Von - plenty of time for that.

KYLE: Rachel Cunningham, 20-year-old speed skater.

Fell during a training session,

with a brief period of unresponsiveness

and some disorientation.

G'day, Rachel. I'm Dr Everleigh.

Her GCS is normal now.

She's reporting worsening headache, lethargy and some dizzy spells.

There was a mild case of concussion at training about three weeks ago.

Did you see a doctor?

No, it didn't seem like a big deal - just a lump on my head.

Okay. Shift you over here and we'll take a look at you.

There you go.

Straighten your legs out for me.

ERICA: Hey Rachel. These are awesome.

I know speed skaters are pretty wild,

but how fast do you actually go?

40, maybe 50kms.

JACK: Making an incision in the fourth intercostal space.

Check curved clamp and split the muscle tissue.

Hole should be just big enough for your finger to get in there.

It's amazing, you know.

We've got all this technology

and sometimes it just comes down to these.

Finger into the pleural cavity

and develop the track until you get to the rib.

You should be able to feel the lung and the diaphragm.

Ah, nothing.

Keep trying.

Ah, there we go.

Right, tube goes in, finger comes out.

That's the bit we don't like to forget.

Chris, you're gonna feel a little bit of pressure here, okay.

(groans)

That's it.

There we are. Piece of cake.

Connect the drainage, suture it up

and we'll verify the position with an X-ray.

Chris, you're breathing should settle down now, alright?

Has my son been told?

Yeah, Dan's up there with him now.

Good, good, good.

My name's Dan.

I work in the emergency department downstairs.

Um... (clears throat)

Um, your dad has been involved in a car accident.

Is he alright?

We're patching him up now.

He's awake and, you know, he's worried about you.

I knew there was something wrong.

Are you sure he's going to be alright?

He told me to tell you so himself.

What about the operation?

What operation?

My dad's donating his kidney.

Mine doesn't work so good in case you hadn't picked that up.

Yeah, that's a bit of a giveaway, isn't it?

Luke, this operation, when is it scheduled for?

Tomorrow.

That's why your dad was meant to be here.

You took your time.

Our resus patient is an organ donor.

Dan, it's customary to wait until the patient is dead

before we take their organs out.

Live donor, Frank.

He's giving his son a kidney.

Operation is scheduled for tomorrow morning.

Well, that's not going to happen. Not tomorrow anyway.

Transplant team would never take the risk.

Oh, I know that and you know that

but as far as Luke's concerned

tomorrow is the first day of the rest of his life.

What's the boy's status?

End-stage renal failure.

I spoke to his doctor.

The transplant's his last chance.

Will you be down any time soon

or do you want me to be the one to pass on the happy news?

Great, thank you.

Chest tube's in.

Patient's breathing and settled.

Apart from that he's non-surgical so...over to you.

Take a thorough history did you?

Point being?

Did you know that your non-surgical patient

is due to donate his kidney to his son tomorrow morning?

Ah, well. That will have to be rescheduled a week at least.

Probably two.

With his injuries there's no way anyone will anaesthetise him.

Precisely what his transplant team just told me.

Hmm. Want me to tell him?

No, he's non-surgical.

ERICA: These look expensive. I'll keep them safe for you.

Pupils equal and reactive.

Long or short track?

Short. You seem to know a bit about skating?

Squeeze my hands.

I know it's an extreme sport and spills are pretty common,

aren't they?

Okay, that was my fault.

Let's try that again.

How fast were you going when you fell?

I dunno.

It was an elimination round for the national championships,

so everyone just skated like their lives depended on it.

You've got a headache?

Yeah, and worse than any hangover I've ever had.

Did your team-mate survive?

Unfortunately.

And in a faster time.

Ah, now the truth's coming out - taking out the competition, right?

Push your feet against my hands.

Well, if that was the case she'd be in here, not me.

Good, no problems there.

Let's organise a head CT. What for?

Pictures just make it easier to see what's going on.

Okay.

Okay, I'll be right back, Rachel.

She has a slight motor deficit on the right-hand side

and she's possibly lethargic.

What do you think? Yeah, I noticed that too.

And what about her speech?

I could be wrong, but it sounded like she was slurring her words

just a little bit.

Maybe. Could be just her normal speech pattern.

Maybe it's not.

Keep an eye on her neuro obs. I'll organise the head CT.

How are you feeling, Chris?

Oh, you know.

What's the damage?

Oh, good timing.

Just the man who can answer all your questions.

I'm going in for surgery tomorrow.

Yes, we know that. Are there any damage to my kidneys?

You're a very lucky man - no spinal or neck injuries.

The impact caused your lung to collapse

which is why it was hard to breathe.

Yeah, I know about that.

I'm only interested in the kidneys. Were they damaged?

No, there were no other internal injuries.

Thank God for that.

Chris, I just spoke to your surgeon.

The transplant operation is going to have to be postponed.

But you said the kidneys weren't damaged. You can't...

Hang on, hang on, hang on.

If you pull this out we'll be back at square one.

But you can't postpone it.

Mate, my kid. He can't wait.

Yes, we're familiar with the situation of your child,

but the transplant team simply won't put you under anaesthetic

in your present condition.

Chris, it's too risky. Your lung has to repair first.

Yeah, look. I'm in the army, the SAS - fit as a fiddle.

It won't be a problem. I'm afraid it will be.

Besides, I simply won't take any chances with your life.

Even if the slightest thing came back out of whack,

even just a blood sugar level,

their answer would still be the same.

It can't be postponed, my kid's dying.

Why don't we concentrate on sorting you out first, eh?

I will not put him through it again.

I won't put him through it again. Sats are at 92%.

Drains still patent.

Chris, you're not getting enough oxygen.

I want a second opinion. I want a second opinion, I want it now.

Chris, please.

I'm just going to take these nasal prongs off.

Chris, please will you put the mask on?

You are asking me to just stand by and let my kid die.

Is that it? Just put the mask on.

Rachel, are you okay?

Am I going soon?

As soon as Radiology is ready for you.

Where am I?

You're at All Saints Emergency Department.

Do you remember the ambulance officers bringing your in?

I have to go.

No, that's not such a good idea.

I'm late and I have to be there at 2:00.

Do you know what day it is?

Saturday.

Saturday and the final rounds are on this afternoon.

It's Tuesday and there's no race. I want to get there.

What's up? Why are you keeping me here?

Won't be for much longer, Rachel, I promise.

Sweetheart?

Rachel? Rachel?

It's a bleed, isn't it?

Get her down to Radiology. I'll tell them you're coming.

We need those scans now.

I need to look into your eyes, Rachel?

FRANK: Well?

The counsellor whose been working with Chris Harrison is off-duty,

but he'll get in as soon as he can.

Good, good.

He said that once Chris committed to the idea of donating

it was 120%.

Did everything by the book, even though it meant giving up his career.

I'm sure the SAS doesn't have much use for a man with just one kidney.

Who's in the SAS?

When I was an intern we didn't have time to stand around

listening to other people's conversations.

Chris Harrison, the MVA in resus.

You know it's harder to get into the SAS than it is to get into medicine?

Given the calibre of recent medical graduates

it's hardly surprising, is it?

If you want to make yourself useful,

why don't you move Mr Harrison into acute

and get me a repeat set of ABG.

Yes, sir.

Frank, I was thinking, if Renal okay it,

I'm going to bring Chris's son down to see him.

Yes, good idea.

You're worried about him, aren't you? The boy, I mean.

Yeah. I am.

He still thinks he's getting a new kidney tomorrow morning.

Go and get him. I'll cover for you down here.

Thanks.

Hey.

Is my dad okay?

Yeah, yeah. He's resting.

And he's alright?

You can see for yourself.

I'll take you down there when you're finished up here.

For real? Yeah, for real.

What's that?

Just a book of all the stuff I'm gonna do after the operation.

Oh, yeah, like what?

Might learn to play golf. Dad could teach me.

It's going to be awesome.

You'll have to talk to your dad about that.

I'll be able to do so much stuff.

Instead of me being sick all the time.

I'm sure your dad's looking forward to that as well.

Anyway, it doesn't matter, not after tomorrow, in any case.

Are we done? Yep.

Okay. Let's get you down there.

ERICA: Sean, she's fitting.

Stat dose IV diazepam, 10mg.

Did we get the head CT scan done?

Get some help.

Hey.

Hey, Rachel. It's okay. You're okay now.

Extradural haematoma progressing.

Let's get her tubed.

How often did you do those neuro obs I asked for?

As requested.

Von, when you get a second sux and thio please.

Yep.

You want me to alert Theatre?

No, there's no time. She could herniate.

What do you want to do?

Sean?

Page the anaesthetic reg

and let neuro know I'm going to do a burr hole down here.

You're gonna drill holes in her skull in the ED?

We don't have a choice, Erica.

If we don't relieve the cranial pressure, we'll lose her.

Who dares wins. That's your motto right?

Been doing a bit of research, have you?

Yeah, I wanted to be in the SAS.

It was that or being a doctor. For ages I couldn't decide.

Almost done.

So, what are you going to do after the transplant surgery?

You can't be operational with only one kidney.

Don't bother sugar-coating it, will you, mate.

Sorry. That's fine.

Probably shove me off to a desk job.

Take up a DS position training.

Best leave it to the younger blokes, anyway.

Time I spent a bit more time with my son.

Hey, mate. Dad, are you okay?

Yeah, I'm fine.

You don't look it. You know hospitals.

They always make things look worse than they really are.

What happened?

Would you believe me if I said it wasn't my fault?

No.

Dad drives like a maniac.

He always has. Steady on, steady on.

It wasn't my fault. I was at a stop sign.

I was just collected, out of the blue - bang!

Let's give them a moment.

Are you alright, mate?

Yeah, just had dialysis, feeling heaps better.

It's not going to last long.

I used to think a good day was a high distinction in an exam.

When you look as sick as that kid does and still call it a good day

it just proves my mother right.

You never know how lucky you are.

Did she say that a lot?

Every time I whinged about not getting my way.

Haven't you got something better to do?

No, but I'm ready to assist any way I can.

Short black, two sugars. Now, sir?

Yes, now, Homer, now, now.

What's happening?

Luke's with his dad now.

I have no idea if Chris has told him the bad news yet so...

MIKE: Polycystic kidney disease. Genetic.

Luke's mother had it. She died when he was five.

He was diagnosed as an infant after urinary tract infections.

He's been on oral antibiotics half his bloody life.

He's had every test under the sun.

Look at the last two years.

The kid's been in and out of ICU more times than you've had hot dinners.

Got to hand it to him.

He's packed a hell of a lot into a few short years.

Right, just none of the good stuff.

So, what's the prognosis if the transplant doesn't go ahead?

Given his history of chronic hypertension

and the possibility of cardiac damage

it's a miracle he's not dead already.

What if we delay the op a few weeks?

After that length of time

Luke mightn't be a suitable candidate for transplant at all.

Do you have kids, Mike?

Just wondering, mate.

Luke Harrison isn't our patient, neither is his father,

so why are you following this up?

BEEPER VIBRATES

Do you program that thing to go off to avoid conversation?

No, it's a gift.

ERICA: She's got such beautiful hair.

SEAN: That's enough cutting.

Prep the area please.

Sats have improved.

Okay, ready now.

I need you to hold the head completely still.

Scalpel.

Making the incision now.

Sponge.

Charlotte, diathermy in here.

More diathermy.

Spreaders?

Prep the drill please.

Turn the head 2cm to the right.

That's enough.

Apply pressure now.

How do we know you won't drill straight through her skull

and into her brain?

Sean?

What's wrong?

I can't do this.

Listen to me.

Pick up the drill and do it.

Now, Sean, or your patient is going to die.

Breathing in...

..and out.

Good.

How are we going here?

His breathing has settled and his air entry's improved.

We'll send him for another X-ray in a couple of hours.

Alright, I'll get that booked.

He's the doctor that I was telling you about.

This is my boy, Luke.

Do you give your doctors as much gip as your old man gives me?

I try.

I bet you do.

I've got to get your back to your ward.

Just five more minutes?

Sorry, no can do. I've got to get you back.

You need all your strength for tomorrow.

Are you sure you're okay? I'm fine.

Come on, Luke.

Hey listen, mate. Don't you worry.

Nothing's going to stop this operation tomorrow. Nothing.

Alright?

See ya, Luke.

I was kinda worried when you told me about the accident.

I can understand that.

It probably sounds real selfish of me -

my dad's been hurt and all I can think is about myself.

There's something I need to talk to you about.

Your dad wants you to have his kidney more than anything.

You know that, don't you?

Yeah, sure I do.

So, did he explain to you what's going on with the operation?

What do you mean? Dad said his kidney was fine.

It is, it's fine.

It's just that they want him to recover a bit from the accident

before they put him under an anaesthetic.

I don't understand.

The transplant's been postponed, Luke.

I'm sorry.

But hey, it's just for a week, maybe two,

and then it'll happen, just like you and your dad planned.

Luke?

Hey.

It's okay, mate.

I know.

CHARLOTTE: Irrigate there, Von.

Hold her head steady, Ricki.

Yeah, I've got it.

Okay, Sean, there it is.

Get onto Theatre, let them know we're travelling.

Sure.

Here, take it.

ERICA: Okay, Von, let's go. Peter's waiting.

CHARLOTTE: What was that?

Sean.

Sean.

Sean, please stop.

Was that my fault?

I didn't mean to throw you in there. I'm sorry.

It's fine. Fine.

You have every right to ask a question,

particularly if it's about an emergency procedure

you've never been a part of before.

Yeah, but Gabrielle, you didn't see him.

He just freaked out.

Well, maybe there's a better way you could've asked that question.

I know that now.

Sean's always so confident and relaxed.

I mean, I just didn't think.

Well, when a doctor's about to penetrate a patient's skull,

maybe it's not the best time to remind him

that there's a brain underneath.

Just, next time...

Think before I open my mouth.

I know.

Erica, honey.

He is going to be fine.

So are you.

Cate, where's our patient?

I've got no idea.

He's too bloody sick to be gallivanting around.

Frank, he's pulled his cannula.

Where the bloody hell is he? Dan, have you seen Chris?

No, why?

Call Renal, see if he's gone to see Luke.

I just came from there. There's no sign.

Frank, he's pulled his chest tube, too.

He won't be breathing long without that.

Call Renal. Get on to security.

Captain Harrison.

What are you doing? You shouldn't be up here.

Stay where you are!

Alright.

If you've pulled out your chest tube, your pneumothorax could reaccumulate.

Your breathing might become affected.

You might get a serious infection.

Shut up! And stay where you are!

You're not well enough to be up here.

Let me take you back down to the ED.

Please don't do that. Listen.

You just tell them...

..I have that transplant tomorrow or I jump!

Yeah, okay.

Look, look, I'm just gonna get someone, okay?

Tell 'em now!

TENSE MUSIC

Any sign of him?

None.

I checked with Renal, he's not there.

Well, Admin's been notified, Security's on the case

but nothing so far.

He can't have just disappeared off the face of the earth.

Misplacing patients, Frank? Bit careless, isn't it?

Chris Harrison's taken off, but please,

make jokes if you feel the need.

He's up on the roof. What?

And you left him there? He's up on the ledge, Dr Campion.

Stay here.

Oh, for God's sake. Why don't we hand out invitations?

C'mon, Frank, you're gonna need back-up.

I'll go get the transport pack.

He was starting to get really breathless.

You okay?

I should go and be with Luke.

Stay here. Frank, take it easy.

Chris.

My boy is gonna get what he came here for.

One way or the other.

Now, too much of a risk to take my kidney out.

If I'm dead, well, this way...

..doesn't matter, does it?

So, what's it gonna be?

Come down off there. We'll talk about it.

Nothing to talk about.

Your lung's beginning to collapse again.

That's why you can't breathe properly and it's only gonna get worse.

Mate, I don't care.

Well, you should care.

Look at you, you can barely stand up.

The longer you stay out here the more damage you're doing yourself.

I swear to God, mate!

You take one step closer, I'm going over, alright?

Easy, Frank.

Hey, hey, back off!

Back off!

Okay.

Aren't you gonna do something?

What exactly do you expect me to do? I don't know, anything.

LUKE: Lindsay Lohan.

What about her?

I'm gonna meet her.

After the operation and I know what you're thinking.

How the hell's a new kidney meant to help me do that?

But, if I'm making a list, I might as well aim high.

Luke, you do understand what I told you before about the operation?

Yeah, but, the thing is, you don't know my dad. Seriously.

Don't look at me like that.

It's just...I don't want you to be disappointed.

I won't be.

You'll see.

Dad will find a way to make it happen.

You think your kidney's gonna be any good

when it's splattered all over the footpath.

I know how to control a fall, don't worry.

Mate, they'll scrape you up and throw you in a compost heap.

Don't try that one on me, mate.

Listen, mate, I know you only want to do what's best for your son,

but this is not gonna save him.

I just need my boy to make it through!

Okay?

You think he's gonna thank you for it?

You get that transplant team ready!

I don't wanna die for nothing! I'll do better than that.

I'll call Luke and see what he'll say.

How do you want me to start the conservation?

Luke, we've got some good news and we've got some bad news.

He's gonna die without the operation!

We don't know that, Chris. Course we do!

Every part of him is shutting down.

And this is better?

You sacrifice yourself

and your son gets to carry the guilt for the rest of his life?

At least he'll be alive.

He'll know I love him.

If that's the case, Renal ward's on the second floor.

Give 'em a big wave on your way down.

One last heroic gesture. Chris.

Go on. Off you go.

Chris, just come down off the ledge, will you? Come on.

So are we doing this operation, or am I going over?

Hey?

Alright, alright, we're doing it. We're doing it!

Even if I have to take the kidney out myself, we're doing it, alright?

We're doing it! Thank you.

Cate.

We got you. We got you.

CATE: It's okay. It's okay.

We've got you, Chris. It's alright.

Chris, Chris! Stay with me, Chris!

Open your eyes now.

Come on, mate.

I'll put an oxygen mask on you and get you downstairs.

You're gonna be okay.

Get out of the bloody way, Homer.

GABRIELLE: Resus is clear.

He'll need some more pain relief.

JACK: I'll set up for another chest tube. Somebody call Radiology.

Let them know we need an urgent chest X-ray.

The transplant team...

Let them know. You promised, remember?

I'll call them. You promised.

I'll call them right now.

My responsibility, my bloody problem.

BART: Anything I can do, Dr Campion?

No, Homer. There isn't.

I've got this covered. You fill Dan in.

Yeah, alright. Cheers.

Let's you and I get some fresh air, hey?

I panicked, Von.

Saw that man on the roof...

We both know that no surgeon is gonna take that kidney out.

Yes, I know.

Now that you made him a promise you can't possibly keep,

any suggestions as to what we do?

A 15-year-old kid still has his dad

and they both have a very good chance of surviving this.

If you think I'm gonna lose any sleep at all over lying to him,

you are sadly mistaken.

You don't want me to tell him the truth then?

Good heavens, no. He's non-surgical.

There you go, Chris. All done.

Yep, looks okay.

So, did you call?

Yes, I spoke to them.

Right, so we're on for tomorrow morning?

You bloody gave your word.

Chris, I spoke to your surgeon,

he wants to reassess your condition in 48 hours.

I'm sorry, but that's the best we can offer.

That's the difference between you and me.

When I give my word, I bloody mean it.

Yes, I'm sorry, but I'm afraid that's the reality.

What about my son's reality?

BART: It's not like I expected it to be easy or anything.

Maybe I did?

I just don't know anymore...

Ah, nothing in this world turns out how you think it will, Bart.

But it should.

You set yourself a goal, you make a plan to achieve it.

What's so hard about that? Nothing.

Then reality sets in and all those best-laid plans -

right out the window.

Happens to the best of us.

Did it happen to you?

No, of course it didn't.

You're completely in control of every minute of every day.

Don't say you're not. I know it'd be a lie.

You know nothing about me.

Sorry, I...

And you must stop apologising to everyone all the time.

What did you want for yourself?

When you were my age?

Von?

Sorry.

There's just a million things I want to do.

Yes, and you will.

You've got all the knowledge, you just need a bit of experience.

I just want to be better.

Oh, Bart, Bart.

This is a stethoscope.

It's not a magic wand.

Give yourself time.

Yeah, you're right.

I mean, it's never too late.

That's what my mother used to say.

Never too late to make a difference.

No.

Hey, Bart.

I can't believe this is your last day.

Time went so quickly.

Maybe for you.

We're gonna miss you.

I'll miss you too.

I think she's got herself a fan there.

Hey, everyone! Drinks at the pub tonight for Bart.

Thanks, Ricki. That'd be nice.

Has anyone seen Dr Campion?

Sorry, mate.

Okay. Thanks for that.

Um, Rachel's in intensive care. She's stable.

They've proceeded with a craniotomy

and managed to fully evacuate the bleed.

The post-op scans look good.

That's good news, Sean.

Yeah, it is.

Are you blaming Erica for that?

No.

No! God, no!

Then what was it about it?

I was all set to go and I can't explain it.

I just froze.

You're serious?

Yep.

Sorry. I put you in a bad position.

Please, don't do it again. You scared the hell out of me.

And you owe Von and Erica an apology.

Eve, this is the third message I've left.

How many times do you want me to say sorry?

Please, call me.

Dr Campion.

I'm glad I caught you. What is, Homer?

I just wanted to say thank you and goodbye.

Oh, good.

See you then.

It's been a privilege working with you.

I mean, I know the thrill has been one-sided,

but whatever happens in my career, wherever I go from here,

I just want you to know I really appreciate what you've taught me.

And I finally got my short answer.

You know when people say "Why do you want to be a doctor?"

It's like, it's always something I wanted to do, you know?

I wanted to help people and make a difference.

Homer, that doesn't sound like a very short answer to me.

Watching you work, you and the team -

I just wish I could stay on here.

So, thank you.

Look, Homer, when you get your training wheels off, come and see me.

We'll see if there's something we can find you.

You mean that? Because if you do, I'd love to stay.

And I would love you stay, really,

but I don't think Admin would cop it because of your insurance issues

and your rotation demands.

Trust me. I'm just as disappointed as you are.

But as I say, when you, um...

This is stupid.

I should be taking her to the airport myself.

Oh, Frank, it's only a holiday.

She's gonna be fine, alright?

She'd better be.

Have you got the itinerary?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

And, ah, look, we'll call you as soon as we get there.

Alright.

You make sure you do and call every day.

This is her medication, the repeat scripts are in there, alright?

Okay.

Sweetheart.

Kathleen, you ring Daddy, okay?

Any time.

And if you wanna come home, then you just tell me

and I'll come and get you.

Kathleen's going on a plane.

Yes, sweetheart. You are.

You are.

Now, you be good for Mummy.

Bye-bye.

(screams)

Stop, stop! What's wrong?

What's wrong, Kathleen?

Darling. What is it? What is it?

You're alright.

Come on, you'll be alright.

There you go.

There you go.

You're okay.

Kathleen will miss Daddy.

Daddy will miss Kathleen, too.

There we go.

All nice and snug.

You're okay.

Take care of her.

Bye-bye.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Thank you.

Um, we're gonna take a short break.

We'll be back in a minute.

Hi. Have a seat. Hi.

Look, Evie, I'm sorry...

Sorry. No, no, you go first.

No, you go.

Evie, I'm...

I'm a complete and utter idiot.

I'm sorry, I should've...

I've got no right to talk to you the way I did.

I have been behaving like a stupid old fart.

And I had no right

to push you into making a decision about your daughter.

I crossed the line. You didn't, you didn't.

Look, the thing is that I...

The last thing in the world I want to do is to scare you away.

Evie...

..I'm an idiot, but I...

No, no, not for...

I love you, Evie.
