Episode 6
Paramedics from the Special Operations and Response Team attend a major crash on the M74, along with emergency personnel from all over southern Scotland and northern England. It is the hottest day of the year, and as well as dealing with the aftermath of the crash, paramedics must work hard to make sure all their colleagues are hydrated as they battle stifling heat.
In Ayr, Dan and Michael are called to a suspected heart attack in a block of flats. However, when they arrive, it becomes clear the patient is intoxicated but otherwise in good health. The crew try their best to treat the man, but he does not want to go to hospital.
In Edinburgh, Tom and Donna are dealing with a man they suspect has taken drugs and who is found slumped outside a shop on Princes Street. However, despite the crew's best efforts, he too does not want to be taken to hospital.
At the ambulance control centre in South Queensferry, call handler Sarah is dealing with a patient who has apparently overdosed on street valium, while, in the Borders, Melrose-based crew Christine and Mike treat Alan, a pensioner proud of his once-vibrant social life, but who is now struggling to get out and about. The crew suspect he may have broken his hip and transport him to hospital for tests.
And, in Inverness, Stuart and Leslie need to get a patient with heart problems to hospital as quickly as possible.

Nine Bodies in a Mexican Morgue
When a small plane traveling from Guatemala carrying a small group of passengers, crew and a pilot crashes in the Mexican jungle, all the bodies are recovered and placed in a morgue. But it turns out that only one of them died in the crash. The other passengers were murdered afterwards, each one in a unique way. But by whom? And why? As the story unfolds in flashback, we meet the survivors as they fight against the heat, a shortage of supplies, the many dangers of the jungle…and each other. The setting becomes increasingly tense and claustrophobic as, one by one, they are dispatched with a series of shocks that bring us ever closer to the truth and – at the very end – a jaw-dropping reveal.
The Cleaning Lady
When whip-smart Cambodian doctor Thony De La Rosa comes to the United States for medical treatment to save her ailing son, she soon discovers her path won't be as straightforward as she had hoped. As the system quickly fails her, pushing her into hiding, she resolves not to allow herself to be beaten down and marginalized, and becomes a cleaning lady for organized crime. Using her cunning and intelligence, Thony forges her own path in the criminal underworld, doing whatever she has to to survive.
Wild Cards
Wild Cards follows the unlikely duo of a gruff, sardonic cop and a spirited, clever con woman. Ellis, a demoted detective, has unfortunately spent the last year on the maritime unit, while Max has been living a transient life elaborately scamming everyone she meets. But when Max gets arrested and ends up helping Ellis solve a local crime, the two are offered the opportunity to redeem themselves, with Ellis going back to detective and Max staying out of jail. The catch? They have to work together, with each using their unique skills to solve crimes. For Ellis, that means hard-boiled shoe leather police work; for Max, it means accents, schemes and generally befriending everyone in sight, while driving Ellis absolutely nuts. Against the backdrop of beautiful Vancouver — with all its unique, charming, and even contradictory neighbourhoods and subcultures — the two will have to learn what it means to trust another person and maybe actually become partners.
