EXT. MOTORWAY - DAWN 35 05.501 1

The breaking dawn.

Ally’s car races a path down the almost empty motorway, smoothly passing lumbering LORRIES, framed by the mass of the Cumbrian Hills.

CUT TO:

OMITTED2 2

EXT. SHEFFIELD/OUTSKIRTS - DAY 35 07.003 3

Ally pulls off the motorway and towards the glow of the waking city.

She’s home.

CUT TO:

EXT. SHEFFIELD HOSPITAL CARPARK - DAY 35 07.304 4

The car park of the Alderman Hospital in Sheffield. Still almost empty, just a few night shift cars.

Ally wrestles a still sleepy Molly from the car seat.

ALLYCome on. It’s OK. We’re here.

CUT TO:

INT. SHEFFIELD HOSPITAL/ATRIUM - DAY 35 07.355 5

Ally carries Molly through the waking hospital. It’s quiet, but not empty.

A lonely PORTER trudges through another task.

A SECURITY GUARD mutters something into her crackling walkie-talkie.

Two off-shift PARAMEDICS in thick fluorescent jackets joke quietly on their way to an urgent appointment with a bacon sarnie.

Ally reaches the lift and stands there with an exhausted looking JUNIOR DOCTOR. The lift arrives -

CONTINUOUS:

INT. ED/RESUS - NIGHT D. FLASHBACK 00.001 1

The Resus Bay is empty and cold, harshly lit with blue fluorescent light.

Alone, ALLY performs frantic CPR on an unconscious YOUNG WOMAN, about her age and build, dressed in a hospital gown.

She’s pumping hard on the chest, counting under her breath with each compression.

Her eyes are wide, filled with panic and fear, trying to hold it together, no one to help her.

A rib CRACKS under her hands but she keeps pushing.

ALLY(to herself)

Twelve, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen.

Ally turns and shouts, voice getting hoarse now. Where is everybody?

ALLY (CONT’D)(over her shoulder)

Can I get some help in here!?

She turns back to her patient and is about to lean in to deliver a rescue breath - mouth to mouth.

But just as she does so, she suddenly realises that the woman she’s trying to resuscitate is the real Ally.

Ally stops in shock and surprise. Suddenly, REAL ALLY’s eyes FLICK OPEN - very much alive - and stare straight back up at her.

REAL ALLYCath? What the hell are you doing?

CUT TO:

INT. ANDY’S BEDROOM - DAY 42 10.002 2

Ally snaps awake, heart still racing from her nightmare.

She looks around the room. Andy’s side of the bed is empty.

Andy’s things are scattered around the room - a rowing machine propped in the corner. Cycling kit.

Someone else’s house. Someone else’s husband.

Someone else’s life.

PRE LAP: Morning radio, kitchen clatter, MOLLY laughing.

CUT TO:

INT. ANDY’S FLAT/STAIRS/CORRIDOR - DAY 42 10.303 3

The SOUNDS of Molly’s laughter and excitement builds as Ally walks towards the kitchen.

She passes Andy’s family photos on the stairs, arranged in a group. His kids, his ex-wife and his family.

More excited shouts. It should be the happy sound of home, but suddenly Ally feels trapped, imprisoned, like she wants to scream -

CUT TO:

INT. ANDY’S KITCHEN - DAY 42 10.314 4

Andy and Molly make pancakes at the cooker; spilled batter, half-used pans and maple syrup everywhere.

Andy helps Molly hold the heavy frying pan in preparation for another attempt at high-tariff pancake tossing.

ANDYOK. Third time lucky. Are we ready?

He sees Ally enter and acknowledges her with a smile.

MOLLYReady!

ANDYAre we steady?

MOLLY(can’t wait)

Yes!!

ANDYOK. Three, two, one, toss!

Together they attempt to toss the pancake. It half-misses the pan, turns a gentle somersault and lands in a heap on the floor.

ANDY (CONT’D)(to Ally, deadpan)

That one was yours. Coffee?

CONTINUED:2 2TRUST ME EPISODE 4 GREEN AMENDS 31.03.17 2.

But Ally isn’t smiling.

ALLYThanks.

It should be a perfect scene from a perfect life.

But it’s not hers. And suddenly, right there, she knows it in her heart.

She can’t do this.

CUT TO:


CLOSE: Ally stares into space, silent.

Molly watches TV - eating her pancakes on her lap.

ANDYSorry. Didn’t mean to wake you.

Andy hands her a COFFEE.

ALLYCouldn’t sleep anyway.

Ally takes a sip of her coffee.

ANDYHow was the night?

Ally wants to tell him about Mr. Gerrard, about how she tried to save him, about feeling his blood splash up on her face as he coughed and died on her -

ALLYUsual. You know.

ANDYBrigitte OK?

Ally doesn’t answer but instead turns to Molly -

ALLY(to Molly, raised voice)

Five minutes, lovey. We need to go.

ANDYThought you were starting at two?


ALLYPaperwork. Appraisal. Easier at work. Plus, I’m paying for the nursery.

(to Molly)I mean it!

Ally grabs the remote from the table and turns off the TV.

ALLY (CONT’D)I’ll get your coat.

CUT TO:

INT. HOSPITAL NURSERY - DAY 42 11.056 6

The hospital nursery is already full of noisy children. As she slips off Molly’s coat, Ally watches as Molly runs happily away to join her friends at one of the tables - they’re making potato prints.

Molly get a hug from her favourite TEACHER as she puts on an apron and prepares to get messy. She doesn’t even glance back.

STAFF MEMBERShe’s settled in so well. Such a shy wee thing when she came.

ALLYTakes her a while.

STAFF MEMBERBe at school before too long. But nice when they can all go together.

Ally watches Molly play.

The STAFF MEMBER sees a minor infringement -

STAFF MEMBER (CONT’D)Now! Sammy! Play nicely or not at all -

- and she’s off to step in.

Ally watches Molly. She realises she’s given her daughter safety, security and a home.

Suddenly, the certainty she felt at Andy’s house wavers a little, her decision becoming a dilemma again.


What should she do? Run or stay?

CUT TO:

INT. LOCKER ROOM - DAY 42 11.176A 6A

CLOSE and SLOW on Ally as she pulls on her scrubs.

She hangs her ID badge.

A practiced routine.

She washes her hands. Keeps washing, putting off the moment when she has to step out onto the floor again.

After last night, can she go back in there? Can she face it?

CUT TO:

INT. ED WAITING ROOM - DAY 42 11.207 7

Ally walks in through the waiting area. It’s empty, apart from one lonely ALCOHOL CASUALTY sprawled out on the chairs, still sleeping off the night before.

From abject chaos to perfect peace once again, as if last night never happened.

Ally nods at the RECEPTIONIST and walks through the department -

CUT TO:

CONTINUED:6 6TRUST ME EPISODE 4 GREEN AMENDS 31.03.17 4A.

INT. MINORS/NURSES STATION - DAY 42 11.228 8

- towards minors, where the cubicles are unusually empty. A CLEANER pushes a mop, taking the opportunity to polish out the last traces of the previous night’s mess.

Ally passes the nurses station. Karen, A STUDENT NURSE and another STAFF NURSE sip tea and chat.

STUDENT NURSEStill, I can’t believe it’s so quiet -

Karen puts a playful hand over the student nurse’s mouth -

KARENHush! We never say the Q word. Not unless we want the sky to fall on our heads.

STUDENT NURSEWhat, quiet?

KARENSshhh! Isn’t that right, Ally?

ALLY(agreeing)

Bad luck. Really. Thought everyone knew.

KARENDon’t be too harsh on -

(looking at ID Badge)

STUDENT NURSEDawn.

KAREN (CONT'D)Dawn. She’s new. ED virgin.

Dawn realises they’re both serious.

DAWNSorry.

She mimes zipping her lips up as Brigitte interrupts them -

BRIGITTEAlly?

Her face is serious. They both know what this is about.

CUT TO:

TRUST ME EPISODE 4 GREEN AMENDS 31.03.17 5.

INT. CONSULTANTS OFFICE - DAY 42 11.259 9

Brigitte closes the door behind Ally. She looks wrecked. Like Ally, she clearly hasn’t slept last night.

BRIGITTEDid you get some sleep?

ALLYA little.

BRIGITTEJust been up there. He’s still in ITU. Off all sedation but there’s been no significant response yet.

Ally remains silent. This isn’t good and they both know it. Probably brain dead due to hypoxia. The worst possible outcome - a living death.

BRIGITTE (CONT’D)Obviously, there’s still a chance he’ll wake up in the next week or so.

ALLYSure.

BRIGITTEWhere there’s life there’s hope. Right?

Brigitte takes a drink from her water bottle. Ally just stares at it. She knows what is inside.

ALLYIs that all?

Brigitte hesitates.

BRIGITTEI’m sorry.

Ally doesn’t reply.

BRIGITTE (CONT’D)I wanted to say thank you. For supporting me. We... need to stick together on this.

ALLYAre you asking me or telling me?


BRIGITTEWhat? Christ. Asking you. As a friend. And colleague. No one wanted this to happen. But I don’t see the point in a postmortem, do you? Everyone unleashes the retro-spectoscope, nobody wins. All so easy when they weren’t actually there.

ALLYI don’t want to lie. I’m not a liar.

BRIGITTEIt’s us against them. Haven’t you got that yet? How many mistakes are you allowed to make? How many times can you get it wrong? I’ll tell you. Zero. You have to be perfect. I’m not. Are you?

Ally looks at her. What does she say? In the end, she simply pushes the chair back and walks out.

Brigitte watches her go, but makes no effort to call her back.

BRIGITTE (CONT’D)Shit.

CUT TO:

OMITTED10 10

INT. ICU - DAY 42 11.3511 11

Mr. Gerrard lies in ICU. A bay like Resus, filled with medical technology.

He’s intubated through the now dressed wound in his neck. A ventilator breathes for him.

Ally stands at the side of his bed, watching his chest rise and fall to the regular beat of the vent.

His face is blank, dead and alive at the same time.

Ally suddenly can’t watch anymore, quickly turns on her heels and walks away, almost knocking over an ITU nurse in her haste to escape -

CUT TO:


INT. RESUS - DAY 42 11.4011A 11A

Charlie finds Karen in Resus, carrying out a stock-take of the drugs cupboard.

CHARLIEI heard about last night. You OK?

Karen half nods, doesn’t want a chat.

KARENYeah -

CHARLIEWhat about Ally?

KARENBetter ask her.

CHARLIEShe takes it personally. You know, all this? It’s weird.

KAREN(pissed off)

Maybe she gives a shit?

Karen moves away, angry. Charlie hesitates then goes after her -

CHARLIEHey -

He pulls her back.

CHARLIE (CONT’D)I give a shit. We all do. They’re all our patients.

KARENThen, when was the last time you actually talked to one of them?

CHARLIEI’m here to make them better, not listen to their life stories.

KARENShe does. I’ve watched her.

Charlie tries to joke -

TRUST ME EPISODE 4 GREEN AMENDS 31.03.17 7A.

CHARLIEOK, so maybe it’s the multitasking thing -

KARENSee? That’s it right there. I try and talk to you and you make it into a stupid joke. It’s not. None of this is.

Charlie can see Karen is really upset.

CHARLIEI’m sorry. Really. Hey -

He puts a hand on her shoulder.

CHARLIE (CONT’D)What happened last night?

Karen gets some composure back.

KARENHe couldn’t breathe. You could see in his eyes what was going to happen. He knew. We tried to help him but...

She has to take a second.

KAREN (CONT’D)She cut his neck, there was blood everywhere... You know the worst thing? The thing that gets me? I’m used to it. All of it. The death, the pain, the blood, the tears. It’s just normal. So what does that make me?

Charlie doesn’t have an answer.

INT. ED/MAIN AREA - DAY 42 11.4512 12

Ally walks through the empty department, past the staff members chatting or checking phones, makes her way to minors -

- and picks up the only CARD sitting in the ‘Waiting for Doctor’ box.

The doctor’s eternal answer to stress. If in doubt, just work.

JUMP CUT TO:

INT. ED WAITING ROOM - DAY 42 11.4713 13

The same CARD in her hand as she looks out over the waiting room.

ALLYMr. Connolly?

No response from the dead drunk sprawled across three seats. But he’s the only one there. Got to be him.

Ally goes over, shakes him gently.

ALLY (CONT’D)Mr. Connolly? James?

No response. Is he dead? Ally suddenly panics, shakes him hard as she rolls him onto his back -

ALLY (CONT’D)Hey! Are you all right -?

Ally tries to wake him, shaking too hard, rattling the back of his head - THUD - against the plastic chair.

Finally, his eyes creak open.

DRUNK CONNOLLYGet off me!

Ally steps back in relief - shaking her head at her own wired state of mind. For a minute, she really thought he was dead.

She exchanges a glance with the RECEPTIONIST - who’s staring at her - what’s up with her?

Ally realises she’s drawing attention to herself.

ALLYIt’s fine. He’s OK -


Ally mimes drinking from a bottle - drunk. The receptionist nods in understanding, still a little worried about Ally’s panicked reaction.

RECEPTIONISTHe’s a regular. I’ll keep an eye on him.

Ally heads back past reception into the main department.

As she passes through to majors, she almost collides with an AMBULANCE CREW as they push a patient through the doors -

GERRYHey. Got some work for you. Epigastric pain since the early hours -

Ally looks at the patient on the trolley.

ALLYI know her.

It’s Mona.

CUT TO:

INT. MAJORS CUBICLE - DAY 42 11.5014 14

Mona on a majors bed, Dawn completing an ECG as Ally takes her pulse.

Gerry completes his paperwork, as Mona wriggles on the hook.

MONAThere is absolutely nothing wrong with me.

GERRYYou can say it as often as you like, but no one leaves until the doc here gives the OK.

Ally turns to Mona.

ALLYYou should have called me. Or your GP.

MONAWhat? Bother the doctor for a wee bit of indigestion?


ALLYOr a heart attack, perforated ulcer, leaking aortic aneurysm.

MONASpeak Scottish dear. English at a push. I’m bilingual.

ALLYIt might be nothing, or you could be seriously ill.

MONAWell, I don’t think much of your bedside manner. Aren’t you doctors supposed to make us feel better?

Dawn holds the ECG out to Ally. She looks at it quickly -

ALLYThat’s fine.

(to Mona)Your heart trace looks normal. Good start -

- and scribbles her signature on the top corner before handing it back to the nurse to file in the notes.

Ally relaxes a little now that she’s sure Mona isn’t having a heart attack.

ALLY (CONT’D)So how long have you had this pain?

(off her hesitation)And I want the truth!

MONAOn and off for a couple of weeks. But this morning - Must have been something I ate -

Ally palpates the top of her stomach gently -

ALLYDoes this hurt?

MONA(considering)

More like annoying. So, can I go now?

Ally doesn’t answer that. She turns to Dawn.


ALLYI’ll order an erect chest. We’ll need some access, an abdominal screen, amylase. Oh, and nil by mouth.

MONAWhat? No tea?

Back on the job and Ally’s getting her mojo back.

ALLYNot until I say so.

CUT TO:


Andy walks through the department, shrugging off his North Face jacket.

Around him, patients are still noticeable by their absence.

He passes Karen.

ANDYWhere is everybody? It’s like that ship - you know. The one where everyone disappeared?

KARENTitanic?

ANDY(remembering)

Marie Celeste. Anyway, it’s really -

KAREN(in)

Don’t say it.

ANDYYou know me better than that. Where’s Ally?

KARENWith our only patient. Majors three.

Andy turns to go and find her, but is stopped by Patient Liaison Officer Rob Beasley.


ROB BEASLEYSorry. Dr. Brenner? I’m Rob Beasley. Patient Liaison?

Andy hesitates, then puts the face to the name.

ANDYSure. I remember. Everything OK?

A formal handshake.

ROB BEASLEYYou’ll be aware that we had a serious clinical incident in your department last night?

Andy takes a beat to process, recovers quickly.

ANDYI am now. Is there a problem?

ROB BEASLEYPossibly. I’d like to discuss it now, if you have a few minutes? It seems quiet enough?

Karen passes, overhears the Q word again and winces.

KARENChrist! It’s like they all want us to die.

ANDY(off his look)

We never say that word. Not here.

ROB BEASLEYWhat? Quiet?

Karen lets out a cry of anguish. Andy decides the only way to limit the damage is to get him out of here.

ANDYExactly. Let’s talk in my office?

CUT TO:


Andy and Rob across the desk from each other. As Andy listens, Rob fills details into an iPad app.


ROB BEASLEYThe patient’s partner has already been in touch with us. She’s a solicitor? Sits on the District Council.

ANDYGreat.

Rob grimaces in sympathy at this complication.

ROB BEASLEYI’d usually go straight to the clinical lead, but in the circumstances...

(then)We need to get all the facts from the department’s point of view. Usually best when everything’s fresh in people’s minds? You know what medical notes are like.

ANDYI understand.

ROB BEASLEYI’m told that Dr. Rayne and Dr. Sutton were the two clinicians involved. Are they in today?

Andy realises that Ally hasn’t told him about any of this.

ANDYI believe so.

ROB BEASLEYThen shall we all swallow the frog?

CUT TO:

EXT. MAJORS CUBICLE - DAY 42 12.1017 17

Ally with Mona - this time they’re alone in the cubicle. Ally has her notes in her hand.

ALLYYour chest x-ray looks normal. So we’re just waiting for the blood results. Is the pain still there?

Ally’s a little more relaxed now, reassured that Mona is probably OK.


MONABetter. Like I said. Something I ate.

(then)How’s the wee one?

ALLYFine. Good. She misses you.

Mona misses her too, but she glosses over her own emotions.

MONAYou weren’t like those others. I wanted to keep you all to myself.To those other smart doctors, I was just another nosey old woman. Most people spy a lonely soul and can’t get away fast enough. But not you.

Ally takes a second. She suppresses the urge to talk, to confess all. It’s an effort.

ALLYMaybe I was lonely too?

MONAOh I’m not blind! I could see that. You don’t hide something like that.

(then)But you just needed a little first aid. Easily fixed. With some of us it’s a long term affliction.

Mona sees that Ally is emotional, close to breaking point.

MONA (CONT’D)So talk to me. Before it’s too late.

Ally doesn’t say anything.

MONA (CONT’D)Well?

ALLYI took something that didn’t belong to me.

MONAWhat? What did you take?

ALLYEverything.


The curtain pulled back breaks the moment. Ally turns.

ANDYSorry. Ally?

He sees Mona - recognises her.

ANDY (CONT’D)Hi. OK?

MONAFine. We were just talking.

ANDY(to Ally)

Have you got a minute?

And Ally goes with Andy. Mona watches her leave.

CUT TO:

EXT. SHEFFIELD DEPOT - DAY 42 12.1518 18

Karl getting into the driver’s side of the van. Chris is with him.

CHRISDale’s OK with it?

KARLHis suggestion. Thinking about moving there full time.

CHRISOr maybe he wants shot of you?

Karl laughs along.

KARL Hey! You’re looking at a model employee here.

CHRISTeacher’s pet, right enough. So, you think you’ve got a chance?

KARLThis is about Moll, that’s all.

CHRISYeah right. I’ve heard the way you talk about her.


KARLOK... Maybe it’s crossed my mind. But I’ve got to prove it, yeah? I’ve screwed up too many times.

CHRISHaven’t we all, mate?

KARLShe gave me enough chances. My turn now.

CHRISGo get her, Prince Charming. Shame it’s a white van, not a white horse.

(then)OK. Address is programmed in already. Voice is stuck on John Cleese, sorry.

CUT TO:

EXT. ED/LUNCH TRUCK CORNER - DAY 42 12.2019 19

Andy and Ally out by the lunch truck - out of earshot of anyone passing. Andy is anxious, pacing, knowing that this is a big problem for both of them.

ANDYWhy the hell didn’t you tell me?


Andy senses she’s closing down on him, not meeting his eye.

ANDY (CONT’D)If I’m going to protect you, if we’re going to have any chance of doing this, you can’t keep things like this from me.

ALLYI’m not stupid -

ANDYIt’s not about that. I’ve got Rob Beasley down here. He wants to talk to you and Brigitte. How’s the patient?

ALLYHe’s in the Unit. Brigitte went up there this morning.

ANDYAnd?

ALLYPresumed hypoxic brain injury. Off sedation but still unresponsive.

Andy looks for salvation in the heavens. It’s not good. Not many come back from there.

ALLY (CONT’D)It was my fault -

ANDYOh, don’t give me that. He was sick, you were in the firing line. You tried your best. And Brigitte was there. She’s the senior. She should have been able to cope.

Ally hesitates, then drops her bombshell.

ALLY...She sent him home. Five hours before. Told him he was wasting our time and he should go and see his dentist.

Andy takes this in. This is no longer an act of God. Suddenly, this is a medical mistake.


ANDYYou’re joking.

Ally shakes her head.

ALLYExact words.

ANDYShit!

ALLYI was going to call Max Fax down. Brigitte said no.

ANDYSo she overruled you?

Ally nods.

Andy weighs up their options in his mind, then sees a possible solution.

ANDY (CONT’D)So that’s exactly what you tell them. The truth. You wanted to admit him and Brigitte said no. OK? If they start to investigate you, it puts us both at risk.

ALLYBrigitte takes the blame?

ANDYThere’ll be a SUI (sooey) but you’ll be in the clear. She was in charge, it’ll all be on her. They’ll just take your statement and move on.

Ally suddenly feels the self-loathing rising. She’s trapped, compromised, a liar, about to betray Brigitte, but at the same time, furious that Brigitte has forced her into this position.

ANDY (CONT’D)You can’t get mixed up in this. Which means Brigitte needs to take the fall.

Ally tries to decide what to do.


ALLYThere’s something else.

Andy waits.

ALLY (CONT’D)Brigitte’s water bottle... You know, the one she always carries? It’s not water.

Andy is genuinely shocked.

ANDYShe was drinking? Here? At work?

ALLYLast night. I smelt it on her. After it all happened. There’s a bottle in her desk.

Andy can’t believe it. He doesn’t say anything for a moment or two, trying to process the enormous mess they are in. Finally he delivers his judgement.

ANDY(hard)

Then it’ll be a mercy killing.

On Ally: surprised by Andy’s suggestion.

CUT TO:


Rob Beasley across the desk from Brigitte, Ally and Andy. The atmosphere is informal, but the tension between Andy, Brigitte and Ally is just below the surface.

ROB BEASLEYThank you for taking the time to speak to me. I know none of us want to be here.

(then)Obviously, I’ve read the medical notes. I understand Mr. Gerrard presented first in minors?

BRIGITTEThat’s correct.

ROB BEASLEYWhere he was seen by Dr. Sutton? A presumed dental abscess?


A beat or two -

ALLYHe had a toothache. Wanted some antibiotics.

ROB BEASLEYYou had no other concerns?

Brigitte looks at Ally, then looks away. She’s tense, fiddling with her clothes, unable to maintain eye contact.

ALLYNo.

ROB BEASLEYYou didn’t consider specialist referral?

Ally can’t look at Andy.

ALLYNo.

Andy can’t quite believe she’s just said this. This was not the plan. But he can’t contradict her.

ALLY (CONT’D)There didn’t seem to be any need. At the time. Obviously, I regret that now.

ROB BEASLEYAnd did you discuss that decision not to refer with your senior colleague?

Andy can’t believe she’s doing this. Ally avoids his eyes and looks over towards Brigitte.

ALLYNo. I didn’t. I decided to send him home. It was my call.

Rob just nods, dispassionate but almost more menacing as he uses his iPad to note down what Ally has said.

Rob looks down at his notes.


ROB BEASLEYMy understanding from the maxillo- facial consultant who’s taken over Mr. Gerrard’s care is that the sub mandibular extension of the abscess directly led to his airway obstruction. There were no signs of that at your first consultation?

ALLYNot that I could see.

ANDYYou’re sure? No masses, no temperature? Because I’m sure you said -

ALLY(repeating)

Not that I could see.

Andy desperately tries to pull this back.

ANDYAnd you didn’t check any of this with Dr. Rayne? Discuss the case in any way?

ALLYNo. Obviously that was a mistake on my part.

Andy stares at her. What the hell is she playing at?

ANDYAnd you had no other concerns about Dr. Rayne’s conduct?

Brigitte shoots a look at Andy. What the hell? Is he trying to shop her?

ALLYNo.

ROB BEASLEYOK. Thank you, Dr. Sutton. And there’s no need to use the M word. We’re not admitting fault here. All I want at this stage are the facts.

He turns to Brigitte.


ROB BEASLEY (CONT’D)When was the last time you performed a tracheostomy, Dr. Rayne?

BRIGITTEI don’t know. Five years. Maybe more. As soon as I realised the procedure was likely to be necessary, I called for help.

ROB BEASLEYAnd?

BRIGITTEThere was no-one available. ENT were off site. Anaesthetics in theatre.

ROB BEASLEYSo you carried out the attempted procedure?

Brigitte looks at Ally.

BRIGITTEYes. With Dr. Sutton’s assistance. I did my best. Obviously, the outcome hasn’t been what we wanted for the patient but I felt there was no choice in the circumstances.

Rob notes this down before summing up.

ROB BEASLEYOK. Our next steps depend on the relatives. However, it seems likely this adverse outcome was the unavoidable consequence of serious illness. We’ll communicate that to them and I’ll let you know the response.

He stands up.

ROB BEASLEY (CONT’D)Thank you for your time.

Andy can’t look at Ally. What has she done? Ally stands and walks out of the office without meeting his eye.

CUT TO:


INT. ED PIGEONHOLES - DAY 42 12.3621 21

Brigitte follows Ally out of the meeting - stopping her in a quiet corner, away from the nurses station.

BRIGITTEAlly -

Ally doesn’t want to stop. Brigitte has to physically grab her.

BRIGITTE (CONT’D)Please -

Ally faces her.

BRIGITTE (CONT’D)Why are you doing this?

ALLYBecause it’s all I deserve.

Brigitte doesn’t get it.

BRIGITTEI don’t understand.

ALLY(disdain)

Like you said. We need to stick together.

BRIGITTEI just asked you to back me, that’s all-

ALLY(angry)

What choice do I have?(then)

I know what you do. What you keep in your desk.

BRIGITTEWhat are we talking about?

ALLYYou were drinking. Last night.

BRIGITTEThat’s insane -


ALLYI know what’s in your bottle and I found your stash in your drawer.

A long moment. Brigitte isn’t sure what to say. Eventually -

BRIGITTEOK, but it’s not what you think. I know there’s an issue. I’m on a program, with my GP -

This response is Karl all over and Ally snaps in an instant, frustration pouring out -

ALLYJust don’t. Don’t you dare lie to me. You were at work, you were caring for patients and you were drunk -

BRIGITTEDrunk! God, I wish I could get drunk. That’s the worst of it. You don’t get drunk. You stay normal. And believe me, that doesn’t feel good anymore.

Ally says nothing. Brigitte tries to justify herself under Ally’s gaze.

BRIGITTE (CONT’D)I know what you think of me. But I’m still here. Still here.

(then)What are you going to do?

ALLYNothing. Because it’s not my problem. I’m done with helping people. Stop, drink, I don’t care. Do what you want. Just don’t talk to me.

Ally walks away from her, turning the corner into the main area of Majors -

CONTINUOUS:

INT. MAJORS - DAY 42 12.3822 22

- where she almost knocks Karen out of the way. Karen can see she’s angry and upset.


KARENAlly? OK? Hey?

Ally stops -

ALLYSorry. I need to get out of here.

KARENIs it about last night? Because I can back you up -

(quieter)You did everything you could. I’ll tell them that. You can trust me -

ALLYDon’t -

(then)You’re a great nurse. Take it from me. Keep your head down and don’t get involved. This is my problem, not yours. Do you understand?

KARENI’m not scared, if it’s the truth -

Ally is intense, grips Karen’s arm.

ALLYIt doesn’t matter. Promise me, OK? Just stay out of it.

KARENOK.

Even Karen is intimidated by the intensity of Ally’s words. She nods.

Ally is satisfied she’s got her message across. She heads towards the door -

- where she sees HCA PAUL flanked by two POLICE - one male, one female. She stops dead. Andy has just seen them too.

Andy catches up with Ally. Has he shopped her?

Andy looks into her eyes, knows what’s she’s thinking instantly.

ANDYIt wasn’t me. I didn’t -(tell them)


But at that moment, Ally is sure that it’s over. She can’t believe Andy has done this.

Paul sees Andy and turns to him.

The police officers head straight towards Ally. However, when they reach her, they both keep on walking.

Ally’s heart is in her mouth. She turns and sees the officers approach JENNY the staff nurse.

They collar her - from Ally’s POV we see them talking to her:

Ally’s heart BEATS in her chest, her breath shallow and rapid. She can only just hear the policewoman -

POLICEWOMAN(background)

I’m going to need you to turn out your pockets.

Ally watches as Jenny shakes her head and tries to walk away. The policewoman stops her, dips in and fishes out a small, gold LOCKET - stolen from a patient.

POLICEWOMAN (CONT’D)(background)

I’m arresting you on suspicion of theft. You do not have to say anything...

Rob joins Andy and Ally as Jenny is led quickly away.

ROB BEASLEYI apologise for all this - Someone had been stealing from patients and relatives. Hard to prove, unless you catch them in the act.

Andy looks at Paul.

ANDYYou put a spy in my department?

ROB BEASLEYDon’t worry. I checked with Brigitte. It was need to know, you know? Real spook stuff. Can’t say I didn’t enjoy it though.

Rob is loving it and grins at him, savouring the power imbalance.


Ally watches as the police officers leave with Jenny, her heart still pounding as she realises her secret is still safe.

Rob turns to go, taking in the empty department -

ROB BEASLEY (CONT’D)I can’t believe it’s so quiet in here.

- and walks away.

Suddenly, the distinctive ring of THE BAT PHONE breaks the silence.

Everyone turns to look at it.

Karen moves to pick it up.

KARENThey had to keep saying it.

JUMP CUT TO:

INT. ED MAIN AREA - DAY 42 12.4223 23

Karen listening, bat phone cradled between her shoulder and ear, writing down the details simultaneously.

KARENOK. See you in 10.

Karen puts the phone back and turns to Andy, Brigitte and Ally, her face deadly serious -

KAREN (CONT’D)Four ambulances at the ethylene plant in Leith. Some kind of storage tank went up. At least two casualties with severe thermal and chemical burns, another six with possible inhalation injuries. ETA eight minutes -

No jokes this time. Everyone instantly knows this is a bad one.

ANDYOK. Let’s get resus cleared. I want anaesthetics down here as a priority. Call surgery too -

The staff members scatter to obey -


ANDY (CONT’D)Brigitte, you take minors. Clear out whatever’s there.

Brigitte’s grateful to escape.

BRIGITTESure -

ANDYAlly, you’re with me.

But Ally starts to walk away from resus. Andy turns back to see her moving away, head in pursuit -

CUT TO:

INT. MAJORS - DAY 42 12.4523A 23A

Moments later, Ally grabs Andy -

ALLYI can’t -

ANDYYes you can.

Ally just looks down. Andy tries to talk her round.

ANDY (CONT’D)You’ve come this far. Don’t do this now.

ALLYI shouldn’t be in there. We both know that.

Ally still hesitates.

ANDYYou were cool enough with Rob Beasley. What the hell was that about?

Ally stays silent.

ANDY (CONT’D)If this is going to work, then you need to listen to me. Well?

ALLYI’m sorry, I just couldn’t do it. Not to her, not like that.


Karen hurries past them.

KARENThey’re here.

Andy clearly wants to talk to her, but knows he’s needed.

KAREN (CONT’D)(come on)

Andy?

ANDY(irritated)

In a second!

Karen backs off, knowing something is going on between them.

We hear the noise of anxious, panicked VOICES and distant SCREAMS of pain. It sounds bad, Very bad.

ANDY (CONT’D)OK, fine. I don’t know about you, but I’ve still got a job to do.

Andy walks quickly to Resus. He doesn’t look back.

A beat and then Ally follows him

CUT TO:

INT. RESUS - DAY 42 12.5024 24

Two paramedic crews barrel in nose to tail, each pushing a PLANT WORKER with severe burns.

The two men are screaming in pain, their moans misting their oxygen masks. These are harsh, animalistic noises, the kind that make you want to run and hide, rather than go and help.

The men writhe and kick on the trollies as they try to find some relief.

Lynn and the other paramedics are freaked out - sweating and stressed, just wanting to hand over and get away.

Their clothes have been burned off or melted on in places. In other areas, large areas of skin have been destroyed and replaced by red, raw flesh. The less affected areas are merely blistered and red, like boiled skin.

Andy sees them in - hard faced and practical, directing like a screwed up traffic warden.

Andy turns to Ally as the second burn victim - ADAM, mid-twenties - comes level with him.

CONTINUED:24 24TRUST ME EPISODE 4 GREEN AMENDS 31.03.17 27B.

ANDY (CONT’D)Resus Two. Use Charlie. I’ll take the other one.

Ally hesitates. Her confidence is low after last night and this is horrible, scary. Every instinct screams at her to run.

Andy sees the horror on her face. He grabs her arm, leans in.

ANDY (CONT’D)Just ABC. Secure the airway, get the lines in, fluids and morphine. OK?

Ally still hesitates as Adam screams in agony once again.

ANDY (CONT’D)(focused)

You’re still my go to girl. These guys need us. You’re the only one I trust. So show me what a real doctor can do. Yes?

Ally gathers herself, nods at him.

ALLYSure.

Andy sees the change in her eyes and knows she’s back. He moves away and Ally follows the paramedic crew into resus -

ANDYLet’s go -

CUT TO:

ABOVE THE BAYS we see the two red, burned men both being treated by the teams of medics around them, the men still screaming and moaning in pain.

CUT TO:

INT. RESUS BAY 2 - DAY 42 12.5426 26

Adam in a resus bay, hooked up to an ECG and oxygen monitoring, still screaming. Lynn the paramedic looks grey and sick, having been in an ambulance with him for the last twenty minutes.

Ally tries to get close to him but it’s total chaos -


ALLYMy name’s Ally. We’re going to help you. What’s your name?

ADAM(ad lib)

Shit. Jesus..

LYNNWe’ve got Adam McKinnon. Twenty six. Family’s been informed -

Charlie arrives at Ally’s shoulder with a syringe full of clear liquid.

CHARLIEMorphine. How much?

ALLY(unsure)

Five. How much has he had? No, ten -

CHARLIE (CONT'D)Let’s go ten -

Charlie injects the morphine before she can change her mind.

Adam coughs and then wheezes as he breathes out. Charlie is at the head end, now hanging another bag of normal saline.

CHARLIE (CONT’D)(re: breathing)

Getting noisy.

He checks Adam’s face. Notices something.

CHARLIE (CONT’D)(to Ally)

Soot there. Nasal hairs singed. Could lose that airway.

ALLYAnaesthetics are on their way?

She looks at Karen as Adam wheezes again, his breath whistling as it exits his lungs.

KARENEmergency theatre. Ten to twenty.

ALLYOK. What about the consultant?

KARENFast bleeped. Switchboard are trying the mobile.


Adam coughs again, the wheeze worsening as they speak. Charlie listens to his chest, looks up at the pulse oximeter reading on the monitor - it’s low - only 89 percent.

CHARLIE(re: airway)

He’s closing all the time.

Ally looks back at her patient. Charlie needs a decision.

CHARLIE (CONT’D)Ally?

Finally Ally calls it -

ALLYRSI. Get the tray.

CUT TO:

A burly plant worker - ROY - with a minor BURN on his right arm.

ROYIt’s nothing. How are the others?

BRIGITTEThey’re working on them.

Roy spots movement through the curtain -

ROYThat’s Adam’s missus. Claire?

Brigitte looks round and sees her. A young WOMAN - CLAIRE McKINNON - with a six-year old child - CALLUM - with her. She looks lost and utterly alone.

BRIGITTEI’ll be back.

CLAIREThey called me. They said there’d been an accident?

BRIGITTEThat’s right. Your husband is in our resus area.

Brigitte looks down at Callum - innocent, no idea what’s going on. She has to compose herself.

CLAIREWhat should I do?

BRIGITTELet me take you to our relatives room. It’s this way.

Brigitte leads her off towards the relatives room.

INT. RESUS BAY 2 - DAY 42 12.5928 28

Ally at the head end of the bed. Her intubation tray at her side. She’s ‘bagging’ Adam with a mask and an Ambubag.

Charlie has two syringes in his hand, one 20ml containing white liquid, labelled Propofol, the other 5ml clear, labelled Suxamethonium.

ALLYOK.

She nods at Charlie.

CLOSE: on the catheter hub as Charlie injects the Propofol, then the sux.

ALLY (CONT’D)Crike on.

Karen presses on Adam’s neck, just below his Adam’s apple.

CHARLIEHe’s gone. Everybody hold your breath.

Ally puts the laryngoscope - a metal bladed instrument - into Adam’s mouth. She pulls it up towards the ceiling -

The light from the laryngoscope shows nothing but a confusing a mess of pink, swollen tissue and foaming spit.

Ally’s breathing gets faster -

ALLYI can’t see the cords.

She looks again, brushing the hair out of her eyes, the panic starting to rise in her again.

ALLY (CONT’D)There’s nothing. He’s too swollen.

She tries again, pulling harder.

KARENTwenty seconds.

CHARLIETry and reposition.

Ally moves Adam’s neck to a better position. She looks again - nothing.

She’s sweating, her heart racing, breathing harder. Her world closes in, target fixation -

The PULSE OXIMETER starts to alarm as it drops under 70 percent.

CHARLIE (CONT’D)More crike. See if that helps -

Karen pushes harder on the neck.

Ally levers harder on the scope, desperate to find the vocal cords so she can insert the vital breathing tube.

She levers again, too hard - and as she does so, a SIDE TOOTH ‘pings’ out of Adam’s top jaw and lands on the hard floor with an audible rattle.

ALLYShit.


KARENThirty seconds. Do I call failed intubation?

But Ally is fixed on her task and hardly hears her.

KAREN (CONT’D)Ally?

Ally keeps looking -

ALLYI’m nearly there. I just need a little longer -

Karen looks at Charlie. She cracks -

KARENGet Andy -

Charlie hesitates.

KAREN (CONT’D)Get him now.

Ally is so focused, she doesn’t even hear them. Charlie moves away from the bed -

ALLYWait. I can see the cords -

(to Charlie)Bougie. (boo-jee) Quick -

Charlie fumbles for the long, thin, flexible piece of plastic covered wire from the intubation tray.

He hands it to her. Ally slips it down past the scope and aims it between the thin, white columns of the rapidly disappearing vocal cords, the pink swelling of the soft tissue about to obscure them completely.

ALLY (CONT’D)Five tube.

Charlie hands the tube as the pulse oximeter alarm pings and the reading drops below 60 -

KARENForty seconds. We need to oxygenate now -

Ally holds her nerve, finally slides the tube over the bougie, railroading it down into the larynx -


ALLYThat’s it -

She pulls the bougie out quickly, attaches the Ambubag to the ET tube and starts to ventilate the lungs.

Adam’s chest moves. Charlie uses his stethoscope to listen quickly to both sides.

He looks back at her. Ally has saved him, she’s coped when so many others would have lost it. She’s not Brigitte.

For perhaps the first time she really, genuinely feels she belongs in this job.

Charlie looks up at the ECO2 trace.


CHARLIELooks good. Were we worried?

She’s done it.

Ally looks back at her patient, chest rising and falling, safe for now.

CUT TO:

INT. RESUS BAY/CORRIDOR - DAY 42 14.0033 33

Andy with Ally and Karen outside the cubicle. The Anaesthetist fusses with Adam in the background - now unconscious, paralysed and ventilated, wrapped in cling film with fluids running.

The other patient is quiet - also intubated. Peace has returned, briefly. No-one knows how close she came.

ALLYFull thickness to face, arm and chest. About thirty six percent. Another ten looks partial.

Andy’s grim expression confirms this is not good.

ANDYHis wife’s here. I can talk to her?

But Ally’s going to take this responsibility.

ALLYNo. We’ll do it.

She turns to Karen who nods in agreement. She’ll come too. Their patient, their job.

CUT TO:

INT. LOCKER ROOM - DAY 42 14.0233A 33A

Brigitte alone in the locker room. She walks into a cubicle -

- then locks the door behind her.

Brigitte sits on the toilet.

She reaches in her pocket for her water bottle. Takes it out.

She’s about to drink from it, then she stops herself.

She carefully puts it down on the floor between her feet.


Stares at it. The bottle just sits there, her name on it, taunting her.

Brigitte starts to cry.

CUT TO:

Ally’s face is serious and controlled. She takes a seat opposite Claire.

ALLYMy name’s Ally Sutton. I’m the doctor who’s been looking after your husband.

CLAIREThank you.

ALLYThis is Karen. One of our nurses. What’s your name?

CLAIREClaire.

(re: child, 6)This is Callum -

CALLUMWhere’s Dad?

Suddenly Claire looks between them, reads their faces -

CLAIREThere’s two of you. Why are there two of you? What’s wrong?

KARENIt’s OK -

CLAIREJust tell me. If he’s dead, I want to know -

ALLYAdam’s OK. He’s being moved to intensive care in a few minutes -

Claire almost collapses with relief.

CLAIREThank God. Sorry - I just thought for a second...

She hugs her child, who’s utterly unaware of what’s happening but starts to sob with her.


ALLYI’m afraid your husband has suffered severe burns to his chest and face. He’s going to require long-term specialist treatment -

Claire looks up -

CLAIREI want to see him.

Ally looks at Karen. Karen holds out her hand for Callum.

KARENLet me take this one. There’s an X-Box in Paeds.

CUT TO:

INT. RESUS BAY 2 - DAY 42 14.1036 36

Ally leads Claire into the cubicle where Adam is. She walks slowly, unsure now.

A SPACE HEATER means the cubicle is hot, the foil blanket rustling as it moves gently.

Adam is intubated on a ventilator, syringe pumps pushing in anaesthetic agents to keep him asleep. His vital signs are monitored.

ALLYThe heat has damaged his windpipe so we’ve had to insert a tube to help him breath. That’s what the machine is for.

But Claire just stares at her husband. The man she kissed goodbye this morning, has his face swollen and puffed, red and burned, body stretched grotesquely under clingfilm wrapping.

ALLY (CONT’D)The burns mean he needs extra fluid into the veins. He’ll be transferred to the nearest plastics unit as soon as he’s stable enough. Then they’ll -

CLAIREI’m going to be sick -


And Ally sees she’s going and has to grab quickly for a bowl and hold her hair as Claire pukes into the cardboard bowl.

Suddenly, Ally hears a PATIENT ALERT sounding, shouts and running feet behind her, the screens muffling them.

- and glimpses Charlie hurrying from the other patient in resus past her towards majors - Dawn the student nurse leading the way.

DAWN(to Charlie)

I was giving her a cup of tea and she just collapsed. I thought it would be OK -

- and they’re already gone - Charlie half-running to get to the next emergency.

ALLYTake this -

Ally hands Claire to a staff nurse and follows -

CUT TO:

INT. MAJORS - DAY 42 14.1337 37

Majors is now heaving with patients, relatives and staff - the Q word in full effect.

Ally has to fight her way through, fear building as she looks for Charlie and Dawn.

In her heart she knows.

It’s Mona.

CUT TO:

INT. MAJORS CUBICLE - DAY 42 14.1538 38

Moments later, Ally rushes in to find Mona on her back, hooked up to a cardiac monitor - a rapid tachycardia (VT) on the screen.

She looks dead.

Charlie feels for Mona’s pulse -

CHARLIEIt’s weak. BP?


DAWNI couldn’t get one -

Charlie looks at the cardiac monitor.

CHARLIEVT. I think. We need to shock her. Ally?

Ally doesn’t reply - her attention fixed on Mona, her feet paralysed.

CHARLIE (CONT’D)Ally? Should we shock her?

ALLYI know her.

Charlie can see she’s frozen. He turns to Dawn.

CHARLIEOK, I’ll call it. VT. Unstable. Synced shock at one hundred.

Charlie takes control. He rips open Mona’s shirt and slaps two ORANGE DEFIB PADS onto her chest.

Then, he turns to the DEFIB and presses the charge button.

The DEFIB whines as it charges up, finally flashing to itself as the charge is ready.

CHARLIE (CONT’D)OK. Shocking at 100. Clear -

He checks the bed and presses the button.

Mona’s entire body JERKS as the shock hits her.

Charlie looks back at the monitor. The ECG trace looks the same.

CHARLIE (CONT’D)OK. Charging to 200. Sync on.

The defib whines once more.

CHARLIE (CONT’D)Clear -

He presses the button. Mona jerks again.


CHARLIE (CONT’D)Shock delivered.

Charlie checks the ECG trace. It looks normal again.

CHARLIE (CONT’D)Looks like sinus -

He leans in and checks Mona’s major pulse at her neck.

CHARLIE (CONT’D)Better. Let’s check a BP and move her to resus?

Ally still stands, frozen to the spot.

CUT TO:

KARL(into phone)

Hi. It’s me. Guess where I am?(beat)

I’m in Edinburgh. Delivery. Anyway, thought I’d drop in. OK. Bye.

Karl curses himself at leaving such a shit message.

KARL (CONT’D)Drop in? Shit.

Then, he reprograms the SAT NAV for ‘South Lothian Hospital’.

JOHN CLEESE SAT NAVIn half a mile, take a left turn.

Karl drops the clutch and sets off.

CUT TO:

INT. RESUS - DAY 42 14.3040 40

The burns patients have been shipped away, replaced by more patients. The Q word in full effect.

Mona in a resus bed. Oxygen mask on her face, hooked up to a cardiac monitor. A drip going into her arm - a small bag of fluid hung above her with an AMIODARONE sticker on it.


Dawn keeps an eye on Mona as Charlie hands Ally the twelve lead ECG print out.

CHARLIETroponin’s twelve thousand. Looks like she had a posterior sometime early this morning.

Ally stares at the trace. The one she signed.

ALLYI missed it.


CHARLIEDon’t worry. Can happen to anyone. You need to flip it -

He takes the ECG print out and turns it around so Ally is looking through the back of the semi transparent paper.

CHARLIE (CONT’D)Then it just looks like a normal heart attack. See?

Ally can see what he means. Something she never knew.

ALLYI’m sorry.

CHARLIEIt’s tough when it’s someone you know. Brain gets scrambled. Weren’t you on last night too?

Ally just nods.

CHARLIE (CONT’D)I’ve called Cardiology. They’re going to take her to the lab. Couple of stents she’ll be good as new.

Ally hands back the ECG.

ALLYI did this.

CHARLIENope. God did this. We tried to stop the bastard. Big difference.

The phone rings - Cardiology answering their pager. Charlie picks up -

CHARLIE (CONT’D)Hi. Yes. We’ve got a fifty-eight year old woman with a posterior MI. Unstable VT shocked once. She’s got an amiodarone load running, K is 4.2 -

ALLYHave you got everything? Coat?

Molly runs to fetch it from her peg.

STAFF MEMBERShame, we had big plans this afternoon. Beach day now that the sun’s out.

Molly waves back at the staff member as Ally hurries her away from the nursery.

MOLLYWhat if there isn’t a next time?

Ally’s patience is wearing thin.

ALLYThen I’ll take you.

MOLLYWith Andy?

ALLYWe’ll see.

Ally reaches her car, searches in her pockets for her keys to blip the lock.

MOLLYDaddy!

Ally turns to see Karl a few yards away. Molly runs over to him.

Ally stays rooted to the spot. Karl picks Molly up and walks over to her.

KARL(to Molly)

Hiya. So what have you been up to? Are you all Scottish now? Och aye the noo and all that?

Karl reaches Ally, Molly in his arms.

KARL (CONT’D)Hi. Thought I’d surprise you.

And just like that, Ally knows that it’s over.

Karl looks at her - sensing something is very wrong.

KARL (CONT’D)You OK? Cath?

ALLYI’m so sorry. I never meant for any of this to happen.

She’s close to breaking down.


KARLHey. What is it?

CUT TO:

EXT/INT. HOSPITAL CAR PARK/ALLY’S CAR - DAY 42 15.0045 45

Molly inside the car, sitting in the back, looking at her iPad.

Ally and Karl by the car - the hospital in the background. STAFF MEMBERS pass a few yards behind them.

Ally has just told Karl the truth. However, the full implications haven’t sunk in yet.

KARLShit. This is a wind up, right?

Ally says nothing. Instead, she just pulls off her DR. ALISON SUTTON ID BADGE and hands it to him.

Karl looks at it. Turns it over in his hands. Processes the fact that she’s really done this.

KARL (CONT’D)But Ally went to... Fuck..! You can’t just - This is insane -

ALLYI know.

KARLSo, ever since you left, you’ve been up here? Pretending?

Ally just nods.

KARL (CONT’D)Don’t you get it? If they find out, you’ll go to prison. Then what happens? What happens to Molly?

ALLYI did this for her. She deserved a chance.

KARLShe had a chance. She had two people who’d do anything for her. You and me.


ALLYIt’s not true though, is it? What she had was a mother with no career and a father who was never there for her.

KARLI did my best -

Ally’s getting angrier now. Karl’s familiar whine does it for her every time.

ALLYAnd you know what? Your best was a pile of crap. But she kept giving you another chance. And that’s when I realised, she always would. For the rest of her life, she’d keep on making excuses for you, just like I did -

KARLI’ve changed. I’m working. I haven’t touched a drink in six months -

ALLYRight. And how many times have I heard that before? How many, Karl?

(imitating)It’s all going to be different this time. I’ve changed.

(then)I set her an example.

KARLWhat? Fraud? Impersonating a doctor?

ALLYI took control of the situation and I made things better. She’s got a new life here. We both have.

KARLYou always said you were as good as any doctor. Didn’t think you’d go and do it.

ALLYI’m good at my job.

Karl hesitates, then changes his angle of attack.


KARLThat journo. Sam. You told him I hit you.

ALLYThat’s not true.

KARLDon’t lie to me, Cath! He said it to my face -

Ally is pissed off. Why should she defend herself? All her anger for Karl pours out.

ALLYNo! You know what happened? He assumed it. Because he knew what you were like. I didn’t even have to lie because he just assumed you weren’t just a shit gambler with a drink problem.

Karl takes a second to process this. It hurts him because he knows that it’s true. But this anger pushes him further.

KARLYou’re crazy. I’m going to the police. I’m taking Molly and I’m going to the police.

ALLYNo -

But Karl grabs at her bag before she can stop him. He rips it from her and takes the CAR KEYS, pushing her away when she tries to stop him.

Karl opens the door and leans into Molly.

KARLYou’re coming with Daddy, OK?

MOLLY(not looking up)

OK.

Karl tries to get into the car. Suddenly Ally realises what is happening. Karl is threatening to take her child. And he can.

Ally grabs at the door.


ALLYNo -

Karl turns and pushes her away hard - a heartbeat from actually raising his fist to her. At the last second, he pulls back, but they both know he came close. Karl sees a passing STAFF MEMBER looking at them.

Ally knows. If it gets physical she can’t stop him. She has to do something.

KARLShe’s coming with me.

In desperation, she jams herself in the door, thinks on her feet. Something she’s got better and better at. Cath Hardacre was honest and well meaning. But Dr. Ally Sutton is smart.

ALLYWait. I sent you money, remember?

KARLGet out -

ALLYBecause the truth was, you knew all about this. All of it. It was what we both agreed. I’d take this job and support us both.

KARLWhat? That’s bullshit.

ALLYFive hundred a month. That’s my story. Who are they going to believe?

KARLIt’s not true. I knew nothing about this.

ALLYBut you took the money, didn’t you? Or is it still sitting there in your account?

Karl’s face tells us that it’s not.

ALLY (CONT’D)Makes no sense, does it? How can an NHS nurse afford all that? Which makes it your word against mine.


Karl hesitates. He knows she’s right. He can’t just walk away. He leans back, trapped, confused, outsmarted.

Ally sees her chance. She’s clever and desperate and Karl is no match for her.

ALLY (CONT’D)You’re right. This is crazy. It was a mistake. When you found me, I was leaving.

Karl has no choice but to listen to her.

ALLY (CONT’D)I just want to go back to Sheffield. You, me and Molly. Like none of this ever happened.

Karl doesn’t reply.

ALLY (CONT’D)Think about it. As soon as I leave here, Ally Sutton doesn’t exist. We can go back to how it was. That’s what you want, isn’t it?

KARLYeah.

ALLYI made a mistake. But we both need to do this. For Molly.

Karl doesn’t reply but his silence confirms that she has him.

ALLY (CONT’D)I’m saying I want to go home. With you. Now.

And Karl believes her. Or wants to. But Ally has just made the ultimate sacrifice.

CUT TO:

INT. NURSES STATION - DAY 42 15.1546 46

The chaos is finally dying down. Andy joins Brigitte at the nurses station.

ANDYSeen Ally?


BRIGITTENot for a while. Coffee room?

Andy nods and moves to go -

BRIGITTE (CONT’D)Did she talk to you?

Andy hesitates.

ANDYShe told me what happened.

Brigitte takes this in.

BRIGITTEDid she tell you everything?

ANDYI think so.

Brigitte’s shoulders sink, her fight almost gone.

BRIGITTEAnd? What are you going to do?

A beat. Andy feels the pressure, feels her desperation weighing him down.

ANDYHow long?

BRIGITTEYou want me to give you the full twelve steps?

Andy cracks, almost the first time we’ve seen him really angry.

ANDYNo, I want you to tell me how long you’ve been treating patients when you’re half pissed?

It’s too loud.

ANDY (CONT’D)Fucking hell. Why?

BRIGITTEDo you really need to ask me that?


Andy looks at her. Sees the same thing Ally saw. A decent human being who is almost broken.

ANDYNo. I just wish it wasn’t true. You’re my friend.

BRIGITTEI still am. I hope. I’m sorry.

Andy can see she means it.

ANDYIt’s OK.

BRIGITTEAs if you didn’t have enough shit to deal with, right?

(then)I can’t let her take the blame for any of this. She was right, I was wrong. She knew he was sick. Must have x-ray eyes, I don’t know. She’s good. A natural. What I’m trying to say is, that she doesn’t deserve any of this. I do.

ANDYNobody gets what they deserve. Haven’t you worked that out by now?

BRIGITTEWhat are you going to do?

ANDYI don’t know.

Dawn interrupts.

DAWNSorry, Dr. Rayne? Your patient is back from x-ray.

BRIGITTEOK. Thanks.

Andy watches Brigitte follow Dawn towards minors.

Karen passes him -

ANDYHey - You seen Ally?


KARENNot recently. Isn’t she supposed to be non-clinical today anyway?

CONTINUED:46 46TRUST ME EPISODE 4 GREEN AMENDS 31.03.17 48B.

ANDYYeah, sure.

KARENIs she OK? She seemed...

(then, committed)I’ll back her. One hundred percent. Whatever they’re saying. Right?

ANDYRight. Thanks.

(then)Look, I need to speak to her. I’ll be back in twenty, OK?

KARENSure.

Karen spots a new ambulance crew entering. She makes sure Andy understands she’s serious and then turns away.

KAREN (CONT’D)And who have you got for me?

OFF: Andy - is Ally OK?

CUT TO:

INT. ANDY’S FLAT/HALLWAY - DAY 42 15.3047 47

The KEY in the lock. Ally opens the door and leads Karl and Molly into the flat.

Karl looks around, impressed.

KARLYou live here?

ALLYI need a few minutes. Can you get Molly’s things?

KARLOK -

MOLLYI’ll show you my room. This way -

Ally heads upstairs to the bedroom as Karl follows Molly.

CUT TO:



Ally packs her suitcase - roughly folding her clothes and shoving them inside.

A grab from the cupboard and more of her designer jackets and tops go in -

CUT TO:

INT. ANDY’S FLAT/HALLWAY - DAY 42 15.4049 49

Andy opens the door to his flat. It’s off the latch so Karl can go back and forth to the car.

He finds himself looking at Karl, two sports bags full of Molly’s stuff on the floor in front of him.

Karl turns and stares at him.

ANDYWho the hell are you?

CUT TO:


Ally keeps packing. A pair of decent shoes join the clothes in the suitcase.

Suddenly she stops.

Why the hell is she taking this stuff?

When is she going to wear it?

It hits her. She’s going back to her old life. None of this stuff applies.

LOUD SHOUTS from downstairs. Angry male VOICES -

She moves fast -

CUT TO:


Ally runs downstairs to find Andy and Karl facing off in the kitchen. The front door hasn’t locked and is still ajar.

ANDYPut it down.


KARLIt’s my kid’s stuff and we’re taking it -

ALLYStop -

They look up to see her.

KARLWho the fuck is this guy?

ANDYI live here. This is my house.

Karl takes this information in. He looks at Ally.

KARLYou’re screwing him?

ANDYThat’s none of your business.

Molly is watching this - and getting upset. She’s mouthing to herself, stop it, clutching tightly to her doll. She’s by the kitchen door that leads to the hallway.

ALLYKarl, don’t. I just want to leave.

Karl looks at Andy, processing that she not only had a life here, but that she had a new lover.

KARLFuck.

ANDYAlly? What’s going on?

Andy tries to put a hand on her shoulder but she brushes him off.

KARLAlly? Does he know who you really are? Or are you lying to him too?

(to Andy)Her names’s Cath. Cath Hardacre.

ANDYI know. I want you out of here. I need to talk to Ally.


KARLShe is not who she says she is. Her name’s Cath.

ANDYI know who she is.

Karl processes.

KARLYou knew? You telling me you’re part of this... This bullshit? Jesus Christ, this is insane. You know she’s not really a doctor? She’s a bloody nurse. She’s a cardiology nurse, that’s all. She’s just a nurse.

Andy’s anger is building.

ANDYAlly’s with me. This is my house. And I’m telling you to leave.

Karl looks at Ally.

KARLWell? Are you coming or not?

Ally hesitates.

KARL (CONT’D)Cath?

Ally looks between them. Focuses on Andy.

ALLYI’m sorry.

She moves to go with Karl. Andy won’t accept it.

ANDYNo. Not until you talk to me -

But Karl steps in.

KARLBack off. She’s coming with me. Ready?


Karl grabs at the bags and tries to get to the door. But Andy stands in his way.

ANDYAlly -

KARLGet out of the way.

Karl tries to push past Andy but he stops him. Karl pushes back.

MOLLYStop it! Daddy! Stop!

Ally realises Molly is getting upset. She moves to comfort her.

ALLY(to Molly)

It’s OK -

Andy has already pushed Karl back, anger building.

Karl stumbles into the hall table.

Terrified, Molly starts to back out of the room. No one notices. Ally goes to Karl to check he’s OK.

ALLY (CONT’D)You OK?

But Andy has his blood up.

ANDYSee? Not so easy is it? Not when you’re facing someone who can fight back.

Andy bulls Karl back again, easily dominating him. Karl loses patience and swings. Ally tries to get between them and is pushed hard against the wall, rattling her hard enough to make her head spin.

Andy turns to check Ally and Karl takes the opportunity to fight back, grabbing him and getting a punch in.

Andy responds - another exchange of blows. Andy grabs and spins Karl around so he is nearer to the door.

Ally recovers. She looks over at the door and notices that Molly has gone.


ALLYMolly? Where’s Molly?


Ally runs upstairs -

ALLY (CONT’D)Molly!

Both men stop as they realise Molly has gone.

Karl runs downstairs calling for Molly.

CUT TO:

EXT. ANDY’S FLAT/ROAD - DAY 42 15.4752 52

Molly has run across the busy road and is on the other side. Karl gets to the nearside pavement first.

Molly is OK, but the danger is she will run into traffic.

KARLIt’s OK. Just stay there. I’m coming -

Karl heads into the road. A CAR to his right. He steps out, holds up a hand and the driver brakes hard to stop in time.

Karl sees Molly coming back -

KARL (CONT’D)No. Just wait th-

- and a BIG JUMP MOMENT as a second CAR comes in from his blind side and SLAMS into him from out of frame, throwing him forward and onto the road.

Karl’s head hits the road hard and he lies there, very still. Molly stares down at her father -

Ally and Andy race to the scene.

The shocked DRIVER gets out of the car.

Ally runs to Molly and grabs her - pulling her away from Karl so she can’t see.

Andy kneels in the road, and quickly assesses Karl. He’s unconscious, clearly badly injured.

He looks up at the stunned driver.

ANDYCall for an ambulance! Now!

Andy turns to Ally as the driver uses his phone.


ANDY (CONT’D)He’s not breathing. I need help.

Ally puts Molly down.

ALLYMummy needs to help Daddy. Stay here, OK?

Ally leads Molly to the driver, then kneels by Karl. Andy is already doing CPR -

Andy reaches five compressions and stops -

To let Ally perform mouth to mouth on Karl.

CUT TO:

INT. RESUS - DAY 42 16.0053 53

Karl is rushed into Resus - the paramedic crew continuing CPR.

Ally at Karl’s side, in charge as Karen and the other members of the trauma team transfer him quickly to a bed.

ALLYHead injury, GCS 3 at scene. Blunt trauma, presumed occult haemorrhage.

Dawn takes Molly away -

DAWNThis way sweetie. Let your Mummy and Daddy help the man.

Andy at Karl’s side -

ANDYROSC (rosk) in the ambulance. We need more access. Someone get surgery down here.

Brigitte takes a handover from the paramedic crew in the corner of the resus room.

BRIGITTEWhat have we got here?


GERRY(background)

Scooped from Maythorpe Rd. Two trained people on scene doing CPR -

Ally and Andy lead the trauma as Charlie gets to work, getting more access.

ALLYLet’s get some O neg running. Soon as he’s stable, we need a Pan CT -

It’s all happening - smooth, controlled, expert.

Ally steps back. Brigitte joins her.

BRIGITTE(calm)

Ally. If you know him, you need to step back now and let me help.

Ally doesn’t reply.

BRIGITTE (CONT’D)Is he a friend of yours?

ALLYHe saved my daughter.

Andy looks at Ally, starting to clue in. He nods in acknowledgment.

CUT TO:


Karl’s BRAIN CT on the monitor. It shows multiple white patches - significant brain bleeding.

NEUROSURGEONHow old is he?

Ally and Andy know the scan is bad news.

ALLYThirty three.

NEUROSURGEONWe’ll take him, of course. Might be survivable. Otherwise stable?


ANDYLiver contusion. Fractured ribs. Surgeons don’t want to operate.


NEUROSURGEONI love this job. How did it happen?

ALLYMy daughter ran out in the road. He saved her.

The neurosurgeon feels like shit, instantly.

NEUROSURGEONShit. I’m sorry. We’ll do our best I promise. You never know.

CUT TO:

INT. RESUS - DAY 42 16.4555 55

Andy and Ally together by Karl’s bed. He’s intubated and ventilated, eyes taped shut, festooned with drips and wires, his body battered, bruised and broken.

ALLYHe was going to go to the police. I didn’t have any choice.

Andy understands. This was a sacrifice she felt she had make.

ANDYSo you just walk away? Accept a life with a man you don’t love?

ALLYMy life. Not someone else’s.

A beat of silence.

ALLY (CONT’D)I’ve hurt people -

ANDYNo. That’s not true. You’ve helped people. You know what Brigitte said to me? That you’re a natural. You just know when you’re needed. And nothing has changed. You’re needed here.

(beat)I need you.

Ally doesn’t reply. Is he right?


Ally can’t look at Karl any more. She turns and walks out.

CUT TO:

INT. RESUS - DAY 42 16.5556 56

Andy with Karl. He looks down at him. Karen writes notes in the corner.


Andy stares at Karl. The only thing that’s standing in his way.

He’s so lost, he doesn’t realise Karen has joined him.

KARENThese are the ones I hate. Death, I can live with. It’s the zombies I can’t stand.

Andy looks at the monitor.

ANDYPressure’s a bit low. Can you draw up some meteraminol? Just in case.

KARENSure -

Karen heads out of the bay and down to the drug cupboard.

Andy is alone with Karl. He pulls the screen across so he can’t be seen.

He cracks open a VIAL of POTASSIUM CHLORIDE (with a big, red ‘X’ on it) and quickly starts to draw up some clear liquid into a syringe, emptying the VIAL rapidly -

CUT TO:

INT. RESUS CORRIDOR - DAY 42 17.0057 57

Ally leads Molly towards resus.

ALLYSo he’s going to be asleep. But that’s OK. Ready?

Molly nods.

But as Ally moves towards Karl’s bay, she hears Andy’s shouts-

ANDYI need some help in here -

- and walks in on him alone doing CPR on Karl -

ANDY (CONT’D)Blood pressure just dropped. Nothing palpable. Must be bleeding again -

He sees Molly.


ANDY (CONT’D)Get her out of here -

Ally backs away, protecting Molly, almost unable to process what is happening as help arrives, streaming past her into the bay -

ANDY (CONT’D)Let’s get O neg running. Cross match four units and get the surgeons down here -

Dawn the student nurse leads Molly away from the chaos. But Ally remains rooted to the spot as the team descend on Karl. Their voices and commands seem far away, as their desperate efforts to save Karl continue.

ANDY (CONT’D)Charlie. Get some gases off -

KARENSurgeons on their way -

CUT TO:

INT. RESUS - DAY 42 17.1558 58

DEAD QUIET.

CLOSE: On Karl - tubes stripped away. Dead.

Ally just stares at him. A few hours ago, she was leaving with him. Now he’s gone.

A long pause.

ALLYHe was stable. CT looked OK.

ANDYMust have been some occult loss, retroperitoneal -

ALLYThat would have shown up -

ANDYMaybe -

ALLYNo. This never should have happened. He was stable.


ANDYWith severe injuries -

ALLYHe’d stopped bleeding. We had control. The surgeons saw him.

ANDYBut people still die. You know that as well as I do.

Ally stares at him. A dreadful thought grows in her mind.

ALLYWhen I got in there, you were alone with him. Why?

ANDYI don’t understand.

ALLYIt was just you. When he died. I want to know what you were doing?

ANDYWhat is this?

ALLYWhere was Karen?

ANDYI asked her to draw up some Meteranimol...

He stares at her, suddenly realising what she’s accusing him of.

ANDY (CONT’D)You think I did something?

ALLYHe was stable, then he just arrests. So what did you do? Potassium bolus? Because that’s how I’d do it. Simple, quick, undetectable -

ANDYThat’s just crazy -

But Ally suddenly goes to the yellow SHARPS BOX by the bed and RIPS OFF the lid.


She looks inside, pushing the sharps to one side with her fingers - it’s dangerous and crazy but she does it, finding the POTASSIUM EMPTY VIAL, then holding it up to him.

ANDY (CONT’D)Ally -

ALLY(pushing him away)

Don’t call me that.

A long pause. Andy isn’t sure what to do. Truth? Lie? Something in between.

ANDYOK... I thought about it. I drew it up and I looked at it and I thought about it. But I didn’t. I didn’t.

Ally says nothing.

ANDY (CONT’D)Anyway. What would be the point? You saw the scans?

ALLY(not sure)

He still could have woken up -

ANDYOh come on. He was as good as dead out there on the street. If I had done it, it would have been an act of bloody mercy.

(then)Ally. Come on. You have to believe me.

Ally looks at him - deep into his eyes.

ALLYI can’t. I don’t trust you. Don’t you see? I don’t trust you and you don’t trust me.

She moves away. He tries to stop her.

ANDYAlly -

ALLYI have to talk to Molly.


ANDYAlly!

But she walks out on him.

CUT TO:

INT. COFFEE ROOM - DAY 42 17.3059 59

Andy watches through the window as Ally tells Molly that Karl has died.

He watches her hug Molly, then he turns away.

CUT TO:

INT. ED CUBICLE - EVENING 42 18.4560 60

Karl dead in a curtained cubicle. Ally just stares at him.

She forces herself to look at his face.

This must be the end.

CUT TO:

INT. COMMUNAL STUDY AREA - NIGHT 42 21.4561 61

Ally, with her bag already brought from the locker room, is packing up her study notes and her medical books.


She packs her STETHOSCOPE last and has a moment. She doesn’t hear Andy approach.

ANDYSo what now?

ALLYI don’t know.

Ally looks at him. She’s confused, emotional. Does she actually want him to persuade her?

ANDYThen listen to me. Leave now and nothing changes for you. Stay and everything’s different. You think Brigitte’s going to ask questions? She owes you.

(then)You wanted to change your life. To make it all better. And you’ve done it. Every day you’re helping people, saving lives, making a difference. Doing a job no other fucker will do because it’s too tough, too hard, too dirty. And not just that. You’re good at it. Why would you walk away from this life?

ALLYBecause it’s not real.

ANDYDoes it matter? Work in this place and you realise it’s just about life and death. That’s the only truth. Everything else is just... Who we say we are.

(then)If you leave, every time you try and fool someone else, you’ll be taking an unnecessary risk... Why change things when we both know that this is something you want? Ally, you love being a doctor.

Ally looks at him.

What is she going to do?

CUT TO:


EXT. EDINBURGH - DAY 43 08.0061A 61A

Wide over the city.

A dense maze of streets glistening in the morning sunlight.

PRE LAP : the sounds of female talking in a locker room -

CUT TO:

INT. LOCKER ROOM - DAY 43 08.1562 62

A new day. NURSES in scrubs get ready for a new shift. Ally is with them.

CLOSE on Ally, as she gets ready for a shift. Her face in the mirror as she puts her ID badge over her neck and finally puts her stethoscope on.

A NURSE we don’t recognise comes in and smiles at her.

Where is she? A new town? A new hospital?

CUT TO:

INT. HOSPITAL - DAY 43 08.3062A 62A

Ally walks in slow motion through the wards. Her ID badge swings at her chest.

The background is out of focus and blurred out.

A NURSE asks her to sign some paperwork.

She dodges past an ambulance crew as they push towards resus.

Finally she reaches the door of the office, reaches for the handle and opens it -

CUT TO:

INT. CONSULTANT’S OFFICE - DAY 43 08.3263 63

Ally walks in Andy with Brigitte. Rob Beasley sits in.

ROB BEASLEYHi. Thanks for coming.

He pulls a chair out for her.

ROB BEASLEY (CONT’D)Brigitte? If you’d like to...?


BRIGITTEOK.. Shall we just say it? I’ve been formally diagnosed with so called ”stress” which means I’m taking some voluntary unpaid leave. Six months at least. Which obviously leaves us a little short here. So Andy and I were wondering if you’d consider taking on a little bit more responsibility of the day to day running of the department?

Ally just looks at her.

BRIGITTE (CONT’D)Obviously it would mean some extra sessional payments.

ANDYPlus you’d get to experience the joy of meetings.

ALLYYou’re putting me in charge?

ROB BEASLEYWell strictly speaking, I’m in charge. And it’s just until Dr. Rayne feels able to return. Well?

CUT TO:

INT. CORRIDOR - DAY 43 11.3063A 63A

SLOW MOTION as Ally walks through the department. It’s busy, but she looks totally confident and at home.

CUT TO:

INT. CUBICLE - DAY 43 12.0064 64

A PATIENT waits in a curtained cubicle. The curtain pulls back.

The patient looks up at their doctor.

ALLYHi. I’m Dr. Sutton. Ally. I’m the senior doctor here. So what’s the problem?

Ally gives him a warm smile. Calm, professional, competent.


Safe?
