DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYS

Hey.

All right?

All good?

Yeah. Pretty routine.

Two down, one to go.

Ha. Well, the hangover

not a problem, then?

No, I'm fine.

Lucky you.

I'd have a hangover a month

if I'd been that hammered.

Look, I...

I'm sorry if, if I made a...

What, shitty, snide remark

about Alyssa's age?

Oh, you do remember that?

Yeah. I'm...I'm really sorry.

Good. So you should be.
Don't do it again.

No, no.

Oh, that's penance enough,
watching you squirm like that.

HE LAUGHS

Don't worry about it, buddy.

Bit of banter never hurt anybody.

That's all it was. Mm.

Anyway, you can bloody talk.

I mean, God, you and Lottie

have set tongues wagging

the way you two were both
doing shots with that Scandi nurse.

She's a neighbour.
We were off duty.

OK, well, I don't think I've ever
seen Lottie quite like THAT before.

Bit of the devil in her, eh?

Well, you know, we all need to blow
off steam now again, don't we?

See you in a bit.

Did any of your colleagues say
anything about last night?

Ben made me squirm.

I forgot I made a joke
about Alyssa's age.

Ouch.

He was OK.

But maybe we need to,
uh, avoid a repeat of that.

Oh, I haven't done that in years.
We're such idiots.

Well, you were
the one pushing shots on me.

That was her, not me.

She certainly knows
how to liven up an evening.

That's not funny.

Come on, you got drunk.
It's not the end of the world.

I just get enough shit
from the nurses as it is.

I don't want to give them
any more reasons to gossip.

She is a bit much.

Yes. She really is.

Hi.

Have a nice evening.

So, you do at least own a computer.

Hi. Um, yeah, no, not...really.

Erm, I rarely use it.

I want to apologise for
the other night.

It was pretty
out of character for me.

We had work colleagues there.

Jacob and I have senior roles
and reputations to uphold.

I know that's boring,

but I am actually quite
a boring person.

I know that we're neighbours,

but I need to keep
my work life separate.

Are you saying you don't
want to hang out?

I, um...

Mia, why did you move next door?

Because I needed somewhere to live
and you and Jacob seemed friendly.

Is it bothering you?

No...not at all.
No. It's all good.

Well, I better get to my shift.

Yeah.

Have a nice day.

Dad, you're looking better today.

Leo.

Well, look who's back.
The prodigal son.

Hari, how nice to see you.

Good of you to pay us a visit.

I'm not visiting.

I'm back for now. Dad needs me here.

All it took was me dying.

Dad, please don't make me feel
any worse than I already do.

So, where were you?

I can never quite keep up with
all the glamour and the travelling.

Well, my organisation builds
schools in Indonesia.

I'm not sure I'd call it glamorous.

Well, morally glamorous.

Ever so good for the Leo brand.

Now, boys, weapons down.

Let's all be friends, hmm?

Oh, very exciting news about
the family foundation.

Have you heard?

We're funding a whole new wing
for the hospital.

This hospital? Mm-mm.

Ah, so that's why those money guys
wanted to say hello.

It'll be my legacy.

Dad's very proud.

And Hari...

..is doing a wonderful job.

What, you're running
the foundation now?

You weren't here, so obviously
we want to keep it in the family.

Hello, again, Mr Green.
Lovely to see you.

You too, Mia.

HE CHUCKLES

So, the anaesthetist will be
in to talk to you soon,

and in the meantime, I'll do some
checks before the operation, OK?

You go right ahead.

All right. Just, relax and breathe
normally for me, please.

HE INHALES DEEPLY

I bet you have all the boys
chasing you, don't you?

HE LAUGHS

Hey, hey, hey. You OK? I'm fine.

I saw what he did.
OK. I can handle him myself.

I'm not a child.
I just need a minute, OK?

Well, look, he's got to go down
for surgery now anyway,

so how about I take it from here?

OK.

Right, Mr Green,
let's get you down to pre-op

and I'll talk you through
what we're going to do.

You ever touch one
of my nurses like that again,

I'll slice your nuts off
with a scalpel.

I could report you for talking
to a patient like that.

Go ahead, mate.

See how far you get.

SIRENS BLARE IN DISTANCE

How we doing?

Heart rate's 88 per minute,

blood pressure's 120 over 88
with mean of 60, saturation 97%.

OK, that's good.

I'll come back and check on him
in a bit. Mm-mm.

MACHINES BEEP STEADILY

Oh, hey.

Hey. I'm just off to see Dad.

How'd it go? Yeah, op went OK.

He's stable enough.

We'll have to keep him
sedated in ITU,

so could be on a long one tonight.

Well, I will sort food.

Keep up the good fight.

You're needed urgently,
doctor, sorry.

OK.

Mia's concerned about Mr Green.

OK.

KNOCK AT DOOR

Hi, Dad, how's it going?

I want to come home.

I'll leave you both to it.

Come on.

It's not that bad.

Hey.

But he doesn't want me back home.

Ah, Jacob is very fond of you.

Despite all the things you've said
about him over the years.

Oh, so it's my fault?

No. Of course it isn't, Dad.

Hello, Henry. Alan!

Hi.

How nice it is you've come by again.

He were here yesterday, too.

Come on in.

Why don't I make us some tea?

What's going on?

His potassium levels are low.

2.5 millimoles.

He's not waking up.

Well, he's stable.

By the way, can I just say,

I didn't get to thank you
for being so kind earlier.

Yeah, no worries.

I...I didn't want you to think
I was trying to rescue you.

SHE CHUCKLES

I know you can take care
of yourself.

Yeah, God, no, I didn't think that.

I don't let myself be rescued.

But I must say, this time it felt...

..really nice.

Felt good to feel protected,
in a way.

Well, any time.

Thanks.

You'll never guess who I saw, Dad.
Do you remember Leo?

Leo Pandian?
HE CHUCKLES

Yeah, yeah, that's right.

Nice lad.

Had a few bob to his family,
didn't they?

God.

Never understood why
you didn't choose him over thingy.

Here we go.

How's about a game of Scrabble?

You love Scrabble, don't you, Alan?

I do.

Are you joining us, Charlotte?

Yep.

MACHINES BEEP

Blood pressure's falling rapidly,

heart rate's increasing above
120 beats per minute.

He's in SVT or maybe VT.

Blood pressure's very low.

Get me 300 milligrams, Amiodarone.

Mia, 300 milligrams, Amiodarone.

Administering now.

His ventricular fibrillation
is not responding.

Starting CPR now.

MACHINE BEEPS RAPIDLY

RAPID BEEPING CONTINUES

ELONGATED BEEP

Time of death, 7:51pm.

Never gets any easier, does it?

MIA SIGHS
He really wasn't a pleasant man.

DOG BARKS IN DISTANCE

Evening. Had a bad day?

Yeah, patient died.

I'm sorry. Don't be.

He was a sexist perve.

I can't imagine anyone
will miss him.

Mia, you know you...

You know you said you didn't
want to know what I'd done?

Well...

..if you knew...

..you might think
I was one of those men.

What?

I had a telescope and, um...

..I became fixated on a...
On a neighbour, uh...

..a woman, in a way which was...

You stalked a woman?

SHE SIGHS

You're just another one of them.

You're pathetic.

DOG GROWLS

The patient was in
a high-risk category,

and his body didn't respond
to the op.

OK. Well, that doesn't sound
overly out of the ordinary,

but we've, you know,
we've still got to... Don't be daft.

It's important. OK.

So, any anomalies during sedation?

No. I mean, totally routine.

You said you noticed
the condition was stable post-op,

but then he seemed to deteriorate
quite quickly after then.

Yeah, honestly, I... I think
everybody was doing their job

and it was, it was just
one of those things.

SIREN BLARES IN DISTANCE
Mm.OK.

I wasn't happy with
the patient's deterioration.

It was very swift.

Not happy in, in what way?

It points to something
unexplained to me.

Such as?

Well, I don't know, do I?
Or I would've said.

Hey, Brandon,
I'm just trying to do my job here.

And I'm just doing mine.

And I'm telling you
something wasn't right.

You know I would always
back my nurses,

but Miss Eldegard's response
to the death really shocked me.

Which was what, Matron?
Well, firstly, she hesitated -

when she was asked to help
the anaesthetist save his life,

I had to take over.

OK. Well, things
don't always run smoothly,

do they, in a panic situation?

Well, perhaps not.

But afterwards,
she acted almost pleased

about the patient's death
because she'd taken against him.

So, you're saying she...she seemed
happy that the patient had died?

Pretty much.

I'd say she was quite cold about it,

as if justice had been done somehow.

No, I didn't like that man.
He was disgusting.

Miss Eldegard,
what did you feel after he died?

Not much. He was a stranger.

Not a very nice person, either.

Right. It's just, I...
HE CLEARS THROAT

I...I just think some people might
find that quite an unusual reaction.

Well, they're just hypocrites.

Colleagues are often affected
by the death of a patient,

no matter how they behaved.

I did my job properly.
I have clear conscience.

I'm sorry I'm not emoting
in a sufficiently correct

British way for you.

Right.

Right.

OK. Uh, thank you.

Um, yep, I think that that's...
That's everything.

Thanks.

DOOR OPENS

DOOR CLOSES

Hi, David. It's Ben Gregston.

Yeah, I think we're going to need

to do a postmortem
on Mr Green, please.

Yep. OK. Thank you. Bye.

Are you eating properly?

Remember what the consultant said
about keeping your energy up?

What's the point of all that now?

Hey, let's not start this again.

You should be grateful
that I'm not raging against

the dying of the light.

I'm bloody zen about it.

Yes, well, I've not been back long,

and I'm still trying
to get my head round at all.

Nothing to get your head round.

It is what it is.

Listen,

I think I'd like to get involved
in the foundation.

HE SIGHS
The investment in the hospital is...

You're only interested
because it winds up Hari.

That is not the reason.

OK, that is not the only reason.

Come on, Dad, I'm trying
to make up for lost time.

Let me help out.

OK.

Then I've got a job for you.

Hit me up.

Turn that Leo charm on the investors

and squeeze some
for cash at this medical ball.

Isn't that Hari's job?

Well, he is smart and he's got
a good business brain, but...

..not the best front man, hmm.

OK. It'd be my pleasure.

A chance to impress that
beautiful doctor you used to date.

I...I...I bet she'll be going, hmm?

Perhaps that's the reason.

The real reason.

Less of the idle gossip, old man.

How'd it go with
the medical director?

Apparently, I don't have
an acceptably British response

to death.

Thanks for asking, though.

See you there?

Yeah, yeah, probably. Mm-hm.

SHARP KNOCK

Ah.

I know, I know.

I'm an idiot
and I'll die of lung cancer.

Well, I hide this from the nurses,
but I'm just as bad.

I tried to quit and ended up
addicted to nicotine gum instead,

so there's no judgment here.

Give us a quick drag.

SIREN BLARES IN DISTANCE

Jacob would have
a field day if he caught me.

So, how's married life?

Good.

Cool.

So, I guess I'll see you
at this fundraiser thing?

Now that your family's
bankrolling the new wing.

Hence I have to show
a bit of interest while I'm here.

Press the flesh with
the local great and good.

Sorry, but that does not
sound very you.

SHE SCOFFS

Well, no, you've got me confused
with that feckless rich kid

you met 20 years ago.

You should see me,
I'm a real player now.

Oh.

Well, if you need a wing man,
I am happy to help fleece them.

You know, I somehow thought
I'd never see you again.

I've got theatre,
I'd better get ready.

Lottie? Mm?

TIN RATTLES
Oh, yes.

Good idea.

Thank you.

Oh, hello, love.

DOG BARKS

My, you've hit the shops.

Bought anything nice?

Yes. For a special occasion, is it?

Yes. Oh.

Settling in all right?

Yes.

Ah.

Bye.

DOG BARKS

All suited up and ready
to whore ourselves.

It's kind of obscene, isn't it?

Us public servants sucking up
to private finance.

Public servants, are we?

We do our jobs because we care,
don't we?

What, and the salary's just a bonus?

Something like that.

Um...

..you know the, uh,
Pandian Foundation?

You saw him.

I thought so.

Look at that face.

Well...

What was it like seeing him again?

Oh, it was like nothing.

It was like seeing someone
who looks a lot older than they did

the last time I saw them.

So there's no need to be jealous.

Is he going to be there tonight?

Everyone is.

So, let's just go
and get it over with.

MUSIC: Tendresse, Waltz, Op 217
by Charles Emile Waldteufel

Here we go.

Hi. Malcolm, isn't it,
from Vantyra Tech?

Yes. I'm Charlotte Roberts.
This is my husband.

Uh, the other Dr Roberts.

Oh, well,
I've heard lots about you both.

Yeah. A heart surgeon, eh?

Well, you must have saved
a lot of lives.

Oh, no, a consultant anaesthetist.

Actually, I'm the heart surgeon.

Senior consultant
with 20 years' experience.

Well, well done you.

Can't be an easy job.

Oh, uh, do you know,
uh, Leo Pandian

from the Foundation?

Hello, again. Jacob.

Nice to see you.

Oh, you know each other already?

We do.

Actually, Charlotte's agreed
to be my wingman.

Get you all to splash the cash
for the hospital.

HE CHUCKLES
Is that right?

Well, you ladies are good
at getting men

to pull out their credit card, eh?
Yeah.

HE LAUGHS

Malcolm, you were telling me
about the dialysis products

you had in the R&D stage.

Ah, yes, yes,
very exciting development.

Well, let me get you another drink
and you can tell me all about it.

Oh, good. Yeah.

You all right? Mm-hm.

I'm going to go say hello to Gemma.

What?

Who the fuck is that?

Just ignore them.

Seriously, Lottie, who is
that teenager he's turned up with?

She's called Alyssa.

Wait, did you know about her?

He brought her round to the house.

Not my idea, obviously,

and I made it clear
I was furious with him.

And you've known all this time
and you've said nothing?

SHE SCOFFS

CLASSICAL MUSIC CONTINUES

Jacob.

I imagine this is a bit tame
for you, being back in all this.

Actually, it's quite nice
being home,

especially seeing
friendly old faces.

So, you finally stopped burning
through the family fortune

on your endless travels, then?

Look, I'm not here
to get in the way.

JACOB SCOFFS

Well, you're always in the way.

Come on, mate. You won, didn't you?

I was the scruffy backpacker,
you were going places,

and that's what
she decided she wanted.

All's fair in love and war.

So, why are you back here flashing
the family cash around again?

That's not what
this is about, Jacob.

No? Well, I thought
you were offering to build

a new wing in the hospital?

I'm not offering anything.

I'm here representing my family
because my dad is dying.

There is nothing I'd rather
be doing less than talking to you.

Believe me.

Ah. I need a drink.

I can see that.

What's going on?

Well, my best friend hates me,

and my husband is pissed off
that my ex is here,

and I'm supposed to suck up
to a load of boring

dinosaur businessmen.

Oh, You don't have
to do that if you don't want to.

Mm, oh, but I do.

Says who?

It's just what's expected of me
with a role like mine.

Don't you get tired of having
to be what they want you to be?

I guess at times like this
I do, yeah.

And if you didn't have to behave
right now, what would you do?

I don't know.

A lot of shots and tell
the boring bastards to fuck off.

Exactly. You see, it's all
in there just bubbling away,

and waiting to come up.

Let's play a game.

What kind of game?

Think of all the power you have.

Your job, also all
the pressure it puts on you

to behave in a certain way.

What if you let go of
all that for just one minute?

Why on earth would I do that?

Because it's liberating.

And this works how?

I tell you what to do,
and you have to do it.

I want you to tell someone in this
room what you're really thinking.

Not a big thing,
just one person, but...

..I get to decide who it is.

Hmm.

All right. Go on.

SHOT GLASSES THUD

Get that down you, Annette.

Everyone is pissing me off.

I want to get drunk and
do something really dangerous.

What about you?

Ah!

Come on, you big wuss, down in one.

Oh, my God. Oh, my God.

That was absolutely brilliant.

No, God, did you see her face?

Jesus Christ. Jesus.

Oh, my God.

I can't believe you just made
me do it. It was so funny.

LINE RINGS

Hello.

Is Jean there?

Yes. Wait a second.

Jean, love, there's someone
on the phone for you.

CLOCK TICKS

Is that the man from your photo
album? Your old flame?

You're very observant.

He's very good looking. Mm.

How did you let that one get away?

Well, I was dating Jacob and
then Leo swanned in

and it all got
quite confusing for a while.

Jacob still can't stand him.

He's super weird
about him being back.

Then you need to make a play.

A play?

A move to show Jacob
that you're his.

Do you enjoy messing with
other people's relationships?

That's not what I'm trying to do.

Don't think he works like that.

All men work the same.

You just need to make them
feel they're irresistible.

Let me show you how, and prove
to you that you have that power.

I don't need advice on
how to flirt with my husband.

I was just offering to help.

You're right. I should
flirt with my husband...

..but on my terms.

All right.

No, we've just done
a photo shoot of the new equipment,

which is really picking up
in the Middle East.

You know, actually, Alyssa's done...

She's done a little
bit of modelling.

Don't be silly. It was just
a couple of photo shoots.

Come on... Well, if you
ever want to model

some printable 3D prosthetics,
just let me know.

HE LAUGHS
BEN CHUCKLES

Can you not? What?
It's embarrassing.

Oh, come on. I'm just trying
to get you some work.

What? In 3D prosthetics?

Well, you've got
to start somewhere, sweetheart.

Ben. Yeah? The, erm...

The job you mentioned,
clinical director of the new wing...

Yes. Maybe I was a little hasty.

Oh, good, good. Yeah, I was
a bit surprised you turned it down.

You'd be...be perfect for it.

In fact, Malcolm, why don't you tell
him about some of the equipment

we're going to put
into the new wing?

There's my gorgeous husband. Right.

Where have you been?
I've missed you.

Hi, Alyssa. Nice to see you.

Likewise.

Hey, you're having
too much fun without me.

Come have a drink with me.

Sorry, can you excuse us
just for a second? Sure.

What the hell are you doing?
Are you trying to embarrass us?

No, I'm trying to flirt with you.

We used to do a lot more than
that in public... Yeah. ..remember?

Do you think this is
the time or the place?

Ahem. Sorry. Sorry about that.
No, not at all. Not at all.

Good to see you.
Lottie's so, erm... Full of life.

Must be something
in the cocktails. Sure.

I want what she's having.
BEN CHUCKLES

Drinks are strong, you know?
Sure. Sure.

Hey...

Hey! You can't do that!

SHE HESITATES

May I have quiet, please.

Sorry, can we just...
I'd like to say something.

Go ahead and get a new one, then.

Benny-boo. Oh, my ex-husband.

Mm, sorry, the medical director
of the hospital.

Hands up anyone who thinks that
a man in Ben's position

should be screwing
the fucking receptionist

from the fucking gym?

OK, can someone get her
out of here, please? Thank you.

I want to go.
No, absolutely not. You don't...

You're just making
a fool of yourself!

Come on. What are you doing?
Fuck you.

WHat kind of friend
you turned out to be!

I need some air. Would you come for
a walk with me? Who are you?

You're pathetic!
All right, thanks, Gem.

I'm going home. Alyssa, no.
Alyssa! Wait, Alyssa...!

Alyssa, please, can you just...
Brilliant, thanks very much.

MUFFLED SPEECH

Save it. Alyssa...

16 years together
and all he was bleating on about

was going in different directions,

when all he actually
wanted was someone younger.

I mean, really?!

Oh, God...

SOFTLY: God, I'm sorry.
What am I doing?

It's fine. It must be really tough.

Yeah, well,
THIS is what it's come to -

just crying on a total stranger.

Sorry, I'm Leo.

An old friend of Charlotte's.

SOFTLY: Oh, my God.

You're the famous Leo?

Famous?

Ah... I'm glad you've
met me at my best.

Oh, trails of mascara must be
an absolute winner.

It adds a unique charm. Ha.

Shall I call you a cab?

No.

No, I'm not leaving.

MUFFLED MUSIC BLASTS
I'm not letting him win.

Well, then,
we'd better get you back inside.

LOUD DANCE MUSIC PLAYS

Come on. No! Yes.

Come on.

Gemma will be fine. Yeah?

What's wrong?

It's... You were right.

I've totally lost my mojo.

I have completely
forgotten how to flirt.

I'm just wondering when
me and him became so predictable.

What's the one thing
he does that you really like?

This is not the place.
SHE LAUGHS

No-one's watching.

Tell me.
SHE CHUCKLES

OK, erm... Sometimes when
he's coming on to me,

he, erm...

He strokes up and down my arms
because he knows how much I like it.

What's going on?

What's with you tonight?

Stop worrying about
the boring businessmen

and concentrate on me.

Jacob, look at me.

Do you still want me?

The way that you used to want me?

What's it like seeing her again?

Complicated.

Like seeing a vision
of a life you might have had.

But they seem really happy together.

How can I begrudge anyone that?

That's very magnanimous.

I may not be expressing
my trickiest thoughts...

..but I don't think that
would be very useful.

WHISPERS: Come on.

Oh!

Oh, oh! Oh, hi. Hi.

THEY CHUCKLE

Thanks for the ride.

Yeah, no worries.

Night. Night.

Do you guys fancy a night cap?

Er...

Yeah. Yeah, sure. Come in for one.

What do you fancy?

Er, white wine?

Oh, God, no. I'm...

I'm not sure I can drink any more.

'Course you can.

I genuinely think
I've had one glass of fizz too many.

Mmm.

It was a fun night, though.

Hope you enjoyed our little game.

Oh, dear.

Yeah, she has a tendency
to crash after too much booze.

In five seconds, though?

I know. It's wild.

Wow.

All the more for us, I guess.

Yeah, I guess.

Cheers. Cheers.

It was a crazy night.

Yeah, tell me about it.

You two were
all over each other, though.

Ha.

Yeah, yeah.

I guess we got
a little carried away.

You know...

..that was kind of...

..all me.

What was?

What are you looking
at me like that for?

Not looking at you like anything.

Really?

Shh...

No, no, no, I...

I can't. I love my wife.

BREATHES: I can't.

You know she did all that
just to make Leo jealous.

Do you think
you're the one she wanted tonight?

Oh, God. Oh, God.

Shh. Be quiet.

HE MOANS

Quiet.

THEY GASP, MOAN

SOFTLY: Jesus Christ.

What have we done?

What if she woke up?

What if she did? Wouldn't it have
been even hotter if she joined in?

And maybe we can do that next time.
