Bye.

All good?

Yeah, a bit routine.

Two down, once a go.

Well, the hangover's not a problem, then.

I'm fine.

Like you.

I'd have a hangover a month if I'd been that hammered.

Look, I... I'm sorry if... Made a shitty snide remark about a little age.

Oh, you do remember that?

Yeah, I'm really sorry.

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

Penance enough watching you squirm like that.

Don't worry about it, buddy.

Bit of banter never hurt anybody.

That's all it was.

Anyway,

you could bloody talk.

Thank God you and Lottie upset 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 blast steam down

again, don't we?

See you in a bit.

Did any of your colleagues say anything about last night?

Ben made me squirm.

Forgot I made a joke about Alyssa's age.

Ouch. It was OK.

But maybe we need to avoid a repeat of that.

I haven't done that in years.

Such idiots.

You're the one pushing shots on me.

That was her, not me.

She certainly knows how to liven up an evening.

It'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

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.

You do at least own a computer.

Hi.

Yeah, no, not really.

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.

You saying you don't want to hang out?

I... 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.

You're looking better today.

You.

Well, look who's back.

The prodigal son.

Hari. Oh, nice to see you.

Good of you to pay the visit.

Oh, I'm not visiting.

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

Only took me a day.

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

So where were you?

Can never quite keep up with all the glamour and the travelling.

My organisation builds schools in Indonesia.

Not sure I'd call it glamorous.

Well, morally glamorous.

Never so good for the Leo brand.

Now, boys, weapons down.

Let's all be friends.

Oh, very exciting news about the family foundation.

Have you heard?

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

This hospital?

So that's why those money guys wanted to say hello.

To be my legacy.

That's very proud.

And Harry?

He's doing a wonderful job.

Well, 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.

So, um, the anesthetist will be in to talk to you soon. In the meantime, I'll

some checks. before the operation, okay?

You go right ahead.

All right.

Just relax and breathe normally for me, please.

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

Are you okay? I'm fine.

I saw what he did. Look, I can handle him myself. I'm not a child. I just need

minute, OK?

Well, look, he's got to go down for surgery now anyway, so... How about I

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

scalpel.

I could report you for talking to a patient like that. Go ahead, mate.

See how far you get.

How are we doing?

Heart rate's 88 per minute, blood pressure's 120 of 88, with mean of 60,

saturation 97%. OK, that's good.

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

Oh, hey.

Hey. Just thought to see Dad.

How'd it go?

Yeah, hope went okay. He's stable enough.

I'll have to keep him sedated in IT, so he'll be on a long one tonight.

Well, I will sort food.

Keep up the good fight.

You're needed urgently, Doctor. Sorry.

Okay. Mia's concerned about Mr. Green.

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.

Anne, Jacob is very fond of you, despite all the things you've said about him

over the years.

Well, so it's my fault?

No, of course it isn't, Dad.

Hello, Henry.

Alan!

Hi.

How nice of you to come by again.

We were here yesterday, too.

Good money.

Why don't I make you some tea?

What's going on?

His potassium levels are low.

2 .5 millennials.

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.

No worries.

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

Now you can take care of yourself.

Yeah, good, 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 never guess who I saw, Dad.

Do you remember Leo?

Leo Pandian?

Yeah, yeah, that's right.

Nice lad.

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

Never understood why he 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?

Blood pressure's falling rapidly. Heart rate's increasing above 120 beats per

minute. He's in SPT or maybe VT.

Blood pressure's very low.

Give me 300 milligrams amiodarone.

Mia, 300 milligrams amiodarone.

Open the spring now.

He's ventricular fibrillation. He's not responding.

Starting CPR now.

Time of death, 7 .51 p .m.

Never gets any easier, does it?

He really was an unpleasant man.

Good evening.

Had a bad day?

Patient died.

I'm sorry.

Don't be.

He was a sexist perv.

Can't imagine anyone will miss him.

Mia, 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 I became fixated on a

neighbor, a woman, in a way which was... You stalked a

woman?

She's just another one of them.

You're pathetic.

The patient was in a high -risk category, and his body didn't respond to

Okay. Well, that doesn't sound overly out in the morning, but we've, you know,

we've still got it. Don't be daft. It's important.

Okay. So, any anomaly during sedation?

No. I've been totally retained.

You said you noticed a condition with stable post -op, but then he seemed to

deteriorate quite quickly after. Honestly, I think everybody was doing

job, and it was just one of those things.

Okay.

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

It was very swift.

Not heavy in what way?

It points to something unexplained to me.

Such as?

Well, I don't know, do I? I'd have 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 Eldergard's

response... to the death really shocked me. Which was what, Mason? Well,

firstly, she hesitated.

When she was asked to help the anaesthetist save his life, I had to

OK, well, things don't always run smoothly, do they, in a panic situation?

Perhaps not. But afterwards, she acted almost pleased about the patient's death

because she'd taken against him.

So you're saying 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.

Without a doubt. What did you feel after he died?

Not much. He was a stranger and not a very nice person either.

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

No, 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

Right.

Right.

Okay. Thank you.

Yep, I think that's everything.

Thanks.

Hi, David, it's Ben Gregson.

Yeah, um, I think we're going to need to do a post -mortem on Mr Green, please.

Yeah.

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 it

all. Nothing to get your head round.

It is what it is.

Listen, I think I'd like to get involved in the Foundation.

The investment in the hospital is... You're only interested because it winds

hurried. That is not the reason.

OK, that is not the only reason.

Come on, Dad.

Trying to make up for lost time.

Let me help out.

Okay.

Then I've got a job for you.

Hit me up?

Turn that Leo Charmant of investors and squeeze some gas in this

medical ball.

Isn't that Hari's job?

Well, he's smart and he's got a good business brain, but not the best front

Okay. It'll be my pleasure.

The chance to impress that beautiful doctor yesterday.

I bet she'll be going.

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 acceptedly British response to death.

Thanks for asking, though.

See you there?

Yeah, yeah, probably.

I know, I know.

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

Well, we 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

judgement here.

Gives a quick drag.

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.

And so I have to show a bit of interest while I'm here?

The flesh of the local great and good.

Sorry, but that does not sound very you.

Well, you've got to be confused with that fabulous rich kid you met 20 years

ago. Just see me. I'm a real player now.

Oh.

Well, if you need a wingman, 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.

Bossy.

Oh. Yes.

Good idea.

Thank you.

Oh, hello, love.

Ma, you've hit the shops.

Bought anything nice?

Yes. For a special occasion, is it?

Yes.

Settling in all right?

Yes.

Oh.

Bye.

All suited up and ready to whore ourselves.

Kind of obscene, isn't it?

Those public servants sucking up to private finance. Public servants, are

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

Well, and the salary's just a bonus.

Something like that.

You know the Pandian Foundation?

You saw him?

I thought so.

Look at that face.

What was it like seeing him again?

It was like nothing.

It was like seeing someone who looks a lot older than they did the last time I

saw them.

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.

Here we go.

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

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

The other Dr Roberts. Ah, well, I've heard lots about you both.

A heart surgeon, eh? Well, you must have saved a lot of lives.

Oh, no, a consultant, please. Actually, I'm the heart surgeon.

Senior consultant with 20 years' experience.

Well, well done, you.

Can't be an easy job.

Oh, er, do you know, er...

Leo Pandian, from the Foundation.

Hello again.

Jacob, I see.

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.

Well, that right.

Well, you ladies are good at getting men to pull out their credit cards, eh?

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 play a little demo.

Who the fuck is that?

Just ignore them. Seriously, Lottie, who is that teenager he 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?

Jacob. Imagine it's a bit tame for you being back in all this.

It's quite nice being home.

Especially being friendly old -faces.

So you finally stopped burning through the family fortune on your new travels,

then?

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

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 you

you 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 and I.

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

Believe me.

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

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

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

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.

I'd order shots and tell the boring bastards to fuck off.

Exactly. You see, it's all in there, just bubbling away and waiting to come

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.

All right.

Go on.

Get that down your neck.

Everyone is pissing me off. I want to get drunk and do something really

dangerous. What about you?

Come on, you big wuss. Down in one.

That was absolutely brilliant. Oh, my God.

I can't believe you just made me do that. That was so funny.

Hello? Is Jean there?

Yeah, wait a second.

Jean, love?

Someone on the phone for you.

Is that the man from your photo album you're all saying?

You're very observant. He's very good looking.

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 at the Middle East.

You know, actually, Alyssa'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.

Can you not?

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, 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 out.

You'd be perfect for it. In fact, Malcolm, why don't you tell them about

the equipment we're going to put into the new wing? And there's my gorgeous

husband. Where have you been? I've missed you.

Hi, Alyssa. Nice to see you.

Likewise.

Hey.

Well, having too much fun without me.

Have a drink with me.

Excuse us just for a second.

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

No, I'm trying to flirt with you.

You do a lot more than that in public, remember?

Do you think this is the time or the place?

Sorry, sorry about that. No, not at all.

Not at all. Good to see you. Lottie's so full of life.

Must be something in the cocktails.

I want what she's having.

Breaks are strong, you know.

Mia, come join us.

Hey.

Hey. You can't do that.

Be quiet, please.

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

Benny Boo.

Oh, my... Husband.

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.

Okay, can someone get her out of here, please? Thank you. I want to go. No,

absolutely not. You're just making a fool of yourself.

What are you doing? Fuck you.

What kind of friend you turned out to be?

I need some air. Would you come with me?

You're pathetic.

All right, thanks.

Alyssa, no. Alyssa.

Alyssa.

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

Oh, my... Thank you.

15 years together and all he's bleating on about is going in different

directions and all he actually wanted was someone younger. I mean, really?

Oh, God.

I'm sorry, what am I doing?

It's fine.

Must be really tough.

Well, this is what it's come to, just...

Crying on a total stranger.

Sorry, I'm Leo.

Old friend of Charlotte's.

Oh, my God.

You're the famous Leo.

Fetness.

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

Drills and mascara must be an absolute winner.

As a unique charm.

Shall I call you a cat?

No.

No, I'm not leaving.

I'm not letting him win.

Well then, we better get you back inside.

Do you

want

a hug?

No. Yeah.

Gemma will be fine. Yeah.

What's wrong?

You were right.

I've totally lost my motor. 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.

No one's watching.

Not me.

I mean, sometimes when he...

Coming on to me, he struck up and down my arm.

He knows how much I like him.

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.

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

very useful.

Oh. Oh.

I'm coming.

Thanks for the ride.

No worries.

Night. Night.

Do you guys fancy a nightcap?

Yeah. Yeah, sure. Come in for one.

God, no, I'm not sure I can drink any more.

Of course you can.

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

It was a fun night, though.

Hope you enjoyed our little game.

Oh, dear.

Yes. 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.

I guess.

Cheers. Cheers.

It's a crazy night.

Yeah. Tell me about it.

You two are all over each other, though.

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?

Thank you.

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

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

What if she did, or would it be even hotter if she joined in?

And maybe we can do that next time.
