Original subtitles

You bottle up your feelings, you'll do something stupid like I did.

What did you do?

I can't wait around for Mister Right forever.

Your son is not a joke! He's brave. He's sweet.

And he deserves a dad who respects him.

(GROANS) (CRASH)

Dad, stop messing around. It's not -funny. -He's not messing around.

-He's gone into arrest. -One of my team's just lost their dad.

(SIRENS IN BACKGROUND)

Bloody hell, who died?

-Oh. Yeah. -Do you want to sign the card for Maleek?

You've not left much space for anybody else.

Once we started, the feelings just came pouring out.

Is that all you're gonna write? Why don't you just spit on his head.

Do you think it's a bit soon to have Maleek coming

-back to work? -Yeah probably, but we're stretched.

I'm even having to ride an ambulance with you, ya big hairy twat.

Think you'll cope without your desk, pen pusher? (LAUGHS)

Think you'll cope without your bike and stabilisers, prick!?

Oh, sorry about your dad, Maleek. Yeah.

You probably feel like... you feel like you're in a strange space at

the moment but it comes and goes in waves.

Two years from now, you know...

that's when it gets really bad and then you sort of

go into freefall and then your head goes. You try and get it back but...

Yeah. Thanks.

We're all here for you mate. Thank you.

Who are you? Gary.

I work here.

Look, I... I don't know your dad.

OK, enough chat everyone. Off... go.

Thanks for coming back so soon. We'll try to make today easy,

cover the Cat 1's, pick up the slack for you. Yeah?

-Thank you. -That said, job's the job so you might see some horrible shit.

Touch wood though.

(THEME TUNE PLAYS)

Yeah, I ordered a massive bellend and uh...

oh, I'm terribly sorry, it has just got here!

That's good. Um... I'd like to order a blonde paramedic control freak.

Um, oh hang on, she's here already because she's... a control freak.

(LAUGHS) Strap in you strap on.

How's my guy? I've been so worried about you.

I don't know if you got my texts. Yeah.

So sorry about the first one, I genuinely thought LOL meant

lots of love.

How was the funeral? It was a funeral, it was sad.

I stood up, said a few words, spat some bars... had everyone in tears.

I felt bad about missing it. But you didn't invite me,

so I didn't know where it was.

I thought you might blame me for what happened. Crazy eh?

Sorry, I'm looking for a woman who works here... Helen?

It's really important that I find her. I honestly don't say things

are important when they're not, 'cause I find that really fake.

I do remember a Helen from the Lewisham depot.

Why don’t I give them a bell...

Gary, step away from the school shooter and get in.

(KNOCKS ON VAN) ANGRILY: In. -All right. -Now!

(RT) 451 Papa Kilo, we’ve got a fainter at the market.

Just hold that on there luv.

No wonder you fainted, if you've not eaten since breakfast?

Guys... just so you know, anything you want... totally free.

Aww. Thanks. Anything for you NHS Heroes.

Thanks. Maleek?

Oh nah, I'm... I'm not hungry. What!?

It’s free food. Just like Lockdown.

I don’t want it. No to free food?

You’re the reason Krispy Kreme stopped giving paramedics

free doughnuts.

All right. Fine. I’ll have a double chicken burger... Yep.

with cheese and... and some sweet potato fries.

Yeah. And a Coke. Full fat.

It's rough on Maleek. It’s hard coming back you know...

when your whole world’s just... boom!

He’ll be okay...

..won’t he? I mean... how long does grief take?

Well you can’t put a timescale on -it really. -No?

Have a bash. Karen died ten years ago.

And sometimes I'm completely fine.

Next minute.. boom, I’ve gone down the hole... Yep, I've seen it.

I think the best thing for Maleek would be to just get over it...

-move on.Right. -Shouldn't he try to be happy. I don't know.

Maybe find someone new.

There could be someone new right under his nose right now

that he's never thought of that's there, waiting to love him,

look after him, make him happy again.

Hmm. What... a new dad?

No. Not a... not a new dad. A...

Can we talk about something else -please Lozz. -Sure.

'Cause you're sending me down the hole now!(LAUGHS)

All right Debbie. I'm just going to lift you up a bit... all right?

Here we go. There we go.

You’re applying for a transfer? It’s none of your business.

You’re my partner. This IS my business.

You can’t just leave. (SIGHS) Listen. I'm just done.

I’m done with these streets.

That’s why I wanna transfer,

see if I could get switched to control room. Or...

-Foot Locker. -I don’t think you can transfer directly to Foot Locker.

-Anyway, you can’t give up. -I’m safer on the phones than I am out here

with my kiss of death. Death’s part of the job.

It hurts but

you just have to get up and move on. Yeah?

My dad isn't moving on is he?

What are your hobbies and interests? Oh well... I like walking.

-Lovely.Reading. -Ah ... great. Breathing(!)(BOTH LAUGH)

Universal interests there. Anything else?

Music... I like... do you like music?

-Never been into music actually. -No? Nah... never got into that.

Uh... National anthem. You like that?

Love that. Rule Britannia. Of course.

Well that's music I s'pose. Classic.

(RT) 358 Lima Charlie. We’ve got 40s female, damaged ankle.

Says it's probably nothing.

Ow... Oof. I mean... it's probably nothing. I just can't move it.

Is Mummy going to be OK?

Of course she is. Yes, we're going to have to look

at Mummy's leg in the hospital. You know what that means?

You are going to go for a ride in an ambulance... you lucky girl.

Do you wanna grab some toys in case there's a bit of a wait?

Just ponies? Aww... you got any Transformers Mum?

(RT) All units, we've got a woman in labour on the Victoria Line.

Please respond. 440 Alpha Romeo here.

Maybe it'd be good for Maleek to get over a loss of life with a birth?

(RT) Yep. Nice idea, but what if it gets messy?

Yeah, true. That'll break him.

Guys, you’re all coming through very loud and clear.

448 Hotel Uniform here, we’ll take it.

(RT) You’re half an hour away. I can do it in five!

(RT) 451, you're the closest we've got.

I know you’re scared but we have to take it.

You’ve fallen off the horse... best thing is get back on.

No, that’s rubbish. If you fall off a horse then you shouldn’t be

getting back on no bludclart horse!

We'll take it. (RT) Darrells, you go too.

Might need you if Maleek freaks out or whatever and everyone dies.

(WENDY) Still loud and clear guys.

(CHILD PLAYING CHATTERING)

-You having fun Jo? -Er, I’m not Jo, I’m Twilight Sparkle.

Thanks for staying. Are you guys married?

Married! Um...

Me and him!? Are you mad!? No way.

I thought you were married. Er... (WHISPERS) Sorry.

Well I was married once...

but then my wife, she died.

-My daddy died too. -Don't worry... she tells everyone that.

It's the best thing that ever happened to her. Except it's not.

It's.. Um... Kind of a personal tragedy.

Oh, I'm very sorry to hear that.

Why did you think we were married?

What can you see?

(LOUD SPEAKER) All change. All change here. This train is ...

-Excuse me. Move! -Paramedicine. -Coming through. -Nothing to see here.

(SCREAMS)

Whoo! Whoo! What’s your name?

No way in hell. I'm not having this baby on the tube.

That is not part of the birth plan.

I think that train might have left the station now luv.

(GROANS) Wendy, Wendy. It's all right.

This doesn't feel right. I told you, we shouldn't have taken the call.

What if I can't do it. What if it -goes wrong? -You'll be fine.

Wen... Wen... Wendy's gonna take charge. And deliver the baby. Yeah.

Because I'm... I'm better at, you know,

at the top... doing the small talk.

Hey Nicole, did you know, some of my-my fox saw... my cousin...

and my cousin...saw a fox on the underground...a fox...

I can’t do this. I’m supposed to be having this baby at home.

We’re going to get you through this. Just you, me and the doctors.

Paramedic. -It will feel just like home. -OK.

C'mon, have a bang on that. Just...

Yeah, you take some drugs. -Shhhh. -Mmmm.

-Shh, shh. -That's it. -All lovely and calm now. -Yes.

Who the hell is that? Excuse me.

We're in the middle of something. I'm also in the middle of something.

(SCREAMS) Want to do my job?

You want to do my job. Take it. No, I don't want to do your job.

I don't tell you people to 'stop arresting my people'.

What? Arres... I'm a paramedic, not police. Look just get out, out.

Now sir! Out! God will deal with you.

-What the hell? -Is this going to Brixton?(GROANS) -Never mind. -Yeah.

You’re really good with kids.

You calling me a nounce?

I've never seen you like that. You were great with her.

You ever want that? Kids? Being a dad?

Um, once upon a time, but no, not now. That ship’s sailed I think.

Can’t see yourself with little Lawrence’s running about?(LAUGHS)

Teaching them to fire their first air gun?

Taking them to the rugby club to cheer their mum on?

Um, well I think about it. Kids were always part of the plan I suppose.

There you go then. But then, so was Karen.

Who? Oh yeah... dead wife!

No, 'cause you always say, 'Oh Karen',

just inside, you were like 'Oh Karen' you know. Always like

saying everything's fine -then 'Karen'. -Yeah.

Lozz's got a dead wife.

(RT) 448 Hotel Uniform. Postman reported a woman in distress.

Please attend and wait for police.

(KNOCKING) Wake up and let us in!

They’d better be dead, messing us around like this.

I really think you need to start channelling your anger.

Channelled. Why are we waiting?

For a forced entry, we need the police.

I have had enough of waiting. Waiting is the Gary way, slow,

useless, probably impotent.

Mmm, actually all tip top in that department.

I think my Trish sometimes wishes I was less potent.

Fuck the police!

(SCREAMS)

The head’s out.

Oooh, your baby have a head. (GROANS) Final push Nicole. Come on.

There you go. OK Nicole, there you go.

Still just the head. Big push Nicole.

Come on.(GROANS) Come on. Yep.

What? Watch her.

What’s going on? The shoulders won’t come.

It's OK Nicole. I just need to radio for advice.

Just keep breathing. Just-just keep breathing.

358 Lima, Charlie. Yep, we've got a problem.

The shoulders aren't coming. They seem to be jammed.

I-I've never had this before and I think I might be slightly

spinning out because I can't seem to stop talking and please advise.

Received. OK Wendy, it sounds like you've got a shoulder dystocia.

You need to get the baby out of there pronto.

Oh God. See I told you I’m cursed.

We shouldn’t have taken the call. I should be in Foot Locker!

I’ll take the lead. We can do this all right.

Whatever happens, this is on me. All right?

I’m not even going to point out what you’ve done wrong there,

I think you’ve got a fairly good idea anyway.

Now let’s get you out. I’m fine... I'm fine, I'm fine.

Kareshma, the only way we get your foot out of there with

no major damage is to let me take over.

You... are not saving me. I’d rather bleed out.

You'd rather die than I help you? Yes. All I need to do...

if I could just, just lift,

lift that ... lift that up to... Oh. She's gone!

Get the patient on their back...

(WENDY) All right Nicole. You're all right.

-.. knees to the chest. -We'll lift her knees up just ever so slowly.

-There you go. -Now you're going to want to apply a lot of pressure

on the abdomen. Three. Two. One.

(GROANS) It’s still not coming.

OK. You’re going to need to go in manually to get the shoulder out.

(NICOLE GROANS)

It's all right Nicole. You're going to be all right, OK.

Nothing to worry about. Nice and calm. Nice and calm.

Any idea when we might be moving? Only...?

Can anybody not involved in delivering this baby just fuck off!

Thank you.

Let's get you some pain killers.

I can do it myself.

Straight in the vein, well done.

FAISAL: There you go. MALEEK: Come on. Come on.

I need you to do it. What? No.

No. No. No. No. No. Don't try it. You think you’re smart,

pretending you can’t do it so I have to. I told you, I’m done.

I'm not pretending! I can’t do it,

so I need you to step up because a life's depending on this.

Wendy it's not... (GROANING)

Um, er... Nearly there. So nearly there.

Maleek's, er, taking over.

(WHISPERS) Shit. Maleek, you can do this.

Disagree Jo. Hold on and I can be there in twenty minutes.

(GARY) You can't walk!

Don't worry Maleek, you've got this. Thank you.

Who-who is this?

Gary...

You came to my 50th at the golf club.

We’re parking up outside if you need us.

This ain't about you Darrell bruv! Maleek, you're one of a kind.

We love you Maleek. Radio Silence everyone.

Maleek, you need to get the baby out of there now.

Work that shoulder out.

Oh, it’s the last Pringle in the tube.

BOTH: What? Pringle?

It's the last Pringle. No-one was able to get the last Pringle

out of the bottom of the tube, except me.

It's a special skill... my dad taught me.

Did he say Pringles? I heard Pringle.

(NICOLE GROANS)

It's all right. (GROANS AND SCREAMS)

Hello? How you doing guys?

How you doing guys? Hello?

OVER RADIO: BABY CRIESAhh. Yes. (LAUGHS) Get in there!

(WENDY) Here she comes.

Hello. I’m your daddy.

♪ Stay up pray up ♪

I need a hug! Hey.

♪ Stay up pray up ♪

You did amazing. It was brilliant.

♪ Pray up

♪ Pray up stay up ♪

Sod it. Can’t have a birth and no cigars.

(CHUCKLES) Ahhh.

Another family starting on their journey.

-Magic. -Seems a shame to write that off from your life.

I see what you’re doing.

Well wouldn’t she have wanted that for you? What’s her name? Karen?

A family? Probably.

Yeah, course she would.

I forgot the bloody lighter. Oh.

-Do they do menthol? -I don’t think so Lozz, there’s a sign there says

it’s not a shop for absolute pussies.

What was that? Hey,“I’m getting you out of there my yout”, then... pow!

Popped that baby out the pum pum real quick.

That’s not how I remember it. What do you remember,

-you was on bare drugs? -We wondered if you had any name suggestions?

Brother... there is one name. Um,

yeah, someone really special to me.

Obe.

It means knife... or soup.

Hmm. ‘Obe’...? Any others?

Well you were on the Victoria line, so what about Victoria?

Focus on the road Wendy. What about Wendy?

No... shut up! That's shit. C'mon she didn't even do anything.

No, we're going to go with Wendy. Aww. Thanks.

No! There is no Helen.

Have you got a photo? Yes but my phone’s dead.

Can I come in and charge it? It needs to be an official

Apple charger because I was reading about how dangerous

unofficial chargers are when you use them with official Apple products

and this phone’s only two months old. Is that ok?

Of course it’s not.

Later bellend. Ah.

Thanks for today. Oh...what,

for carrying South London’s shittest paramedic?

(CHUCKLES) No, for everything. You know, you’re right.

I need to start living. Give love a chance.

Or even just some shit dates.

I’m gonna put myself back out there.

-Mate! -Yeah, on the scene. -Mate! -Oh yeah.

I couldn't have got here without your help. So, thank you.

And um, I'll see you tomorrow.

(MUMBLES) Fuck...

Lawrence... Yep?

Let's go for a drink, me and you. Ah yeah, I'd like that.

Great. Er... great... er... I...

I can't tonight though, 'cause um, I've got a sort of date... I think.

Remember Polly? The mum from this morning? She gave me her number.

I was gonna bin it and then, well I didn't because

you got me thinking.

-I did. -You did. I did. Great. Well... well done me.

I can’t remember when I was last nervous like this you know.

You know, when you feel like you wanna throw up?

Yep. Yep. Know it well.

Is this crazy? Am I rushing in?

Is it too soon?

Well...

No. You should go.

It’ll really be good for you.

You're right. I'm gonna go for it. OK. How do I look?

(CHUCKLES) See ya.

Yo, Wens. Um, quickly.

Look, thanks for having my back.

Seriously, there was a moment back there before... before I went all

baby-saving, super-hero, super-God that I started to doubt myself.

I needed my hype woman to bring me back.

Happy to help. Also... thank you...

for what you said about me to my dad.

It meant a lot. Aww.

For a minute... and then he died!

But... thanks anyway. Oh, I don't know what you're doing,

but I thought you might want to come back to mine for a munch?

Well my mum's house. She kind of wants to see you.

So you ain't really got a choice. (CHUCKLES) Yeah. I'd like that.

Well then let's roll! Oh my God.

Mummy. Spencer!

-Why are you in London? -Oh, I live here now, it’s, it's complicated.

Wait. Mummy? Why is this grown man calling you Mummy?

I thought he knew you were here? Well... um...

Is it something we did? We thought you’d been kidnapped.

Hey, Wendy you took the bin out and didn't come back.

-You did a runner? -Wendy? I think you’ll find she’s called Helen.

She doesn’t mind being called Hells though like as in Hells bells.

Or Hel. Or... All right Spencer!

I can explain everything...

I-I just need to get something from the ambulance.

Maleek, can you just help me get something from the ambulance?

Who is this man child?

You have got some explaining to do Madame.

Just drive... All right, don't... ..quickly!

Just one minute!

Oh my God. You made that couple call their baby some dry old lady name

and it's not even your name! I don't want to talk about it.

Are you even from Emmerdale? Nottingham!

Emmerdale's not even a real place. Don't get aggy with me.

You don't even know who you are!

What do I call you from hence-forth?

Hence-forth you call me Wendy as you've always called me.

Nah, brother... Wendy... Nah brother. Nah, brother.

Don't know who you are. Could be Benjamin for all I know!
