00:00La la la la...
00:30Hey. All right. All good? Yeah, a bit routine. Tear down once a go.
00:53Well, the hangover's not a problem, then. I'm fine. Lucky you. I'd never hang over a month if I'd been that hammered.
01:05Look, I... I'm sorry if...
01:08What, shitty snide remark about Alyssa's age? Oh, you do remember that?
01:13Yeah, I'm really sorry. Good. So you should be. Don't do it again.
01:17Oh, that's penance enough, watching you squirm like that.
01:24Don't worry about it, buddy. Bit of banter never hurt anybody, but that's all it was.
01:30Anyway, you can bloody talk. Thank God, you and Lottie have set tongues wagging the way you two were both doing shots with that Scandi nurse.
01:38She's a neighbour. We were off duty.
01:40Okay. Well, I don't think I've ever seen Lottie quite like that before. Bit of the devil in her, eh?
01:46Well, you know, we all need to blast steam now and again, don't we? See you in a bit.
01:54Did any of your colleagues say anything about last night?
01:56Ben made me squirm. Forgot I made a joke about Alyssa's age.
02:01Ouch.
02:02It was okay.
02:04But maybe we need to avoid a repeat of that.
02:07Well, I haven't done that in years. Such idiots.
02:11You're the one pushing shots on me.
02:13It was her, not me.
02:15She certainly knows how to liven up an evening.
02:18It's not funny.
02:20Come on. You got drunk. It's not the end of the world.
02:22I just get enough shit from the nurses as it is. I don't want to give them any more reasons to gossip.
02:28She is a bit much.
02:29Yes, she really is.
02:31Hi.

11:12you know
11:22you know
11:30time of death 7 51 p.m
11:43never gets any easier does it
11:46you really wasn't a pleasant man
12:00do you think
12:07had a bad day
12:09yeah patient died
12:11i'm sorry
12:13don't be
12:15he was a sexist perv
12:17can't imagine anyone will miss him
12:23mia you know
12:25you know you said you didn't want to know
12:27what i'd done
12:28what i'd done
12:32well
12:33if you knew
12:34you might think i was one of those men
12:38what
12:40i had a telescope
12:44and
12:44i became fixated on a
12:48on a neighbor
12:49a woman
12:52in a way which was
12:54you stalked a woman
13:01she's just another one of them
13:02you're pathetic
13:05the patient was in a high risk category
13:18and his body didn't respond to the op
13:19okay
13:20well that doesn't sound overly out in the ordinary
13:22but we've you know we've still got it
13:23don't be daft it's important
13:25okay
13:25so
13:26any anomalies during sedation
13:28no
13:30i've been totally routine
13:31you said you noticed the condition was stable post-op
13:34but then he seemed to deteriorate quite quickly
13:35after
13:36yeah honestly i think everybody was doing the job
13:38and it was
13:39it was just one of those things
13:40okay
13:42i wasn't happy with the patient's deterioration
13:46it was very swift
13:47not happy in what way
13:49it points to something unexplained to me
13:53such as
13:57well i don't know do i
13:59i'd have said
14:00hey brandon i'm just trying to do my job
14:02here
14:03and i'm just doing mine
14:04and i'm telling you something wasn't right
14:07you know i would always back my nurses
14:12but miss eldegarde's response to the death really shocked me
14:18which was what mason
14:19well firstly she hesitated
14:21when she was asked to help the anaesthetist save his life
14:25i had to take over
14:27okay well things don't always run smoothly do they
14:30in a panicked situation
14:31perhaps not
14:33but afterwards
14:34she acted almost pleased
14:36about the patient's death
14:38because she'd taken against him
14:40so you're saying she
14:41she seemed happy that the patient had died
14:44pretty much
14:45i'd say she was quite cold about it
14:48as if justice had been done somehow
14:51no i didn't like that man he was disgusting
14:53miss eldegarde what did you feel after he died
14:57not much he was a stranger
14:59not a very nice person either
15:02right it's just i
15:04i just think some people might find that quite an unusual reaction
15:08well they're just hypocrites
15:12colleagues are often affected by the death of a patient no matter how they behaved
15:18i did my job properly i have clear conscience
15:21i'm sorry i'm not emoting in a sufficiently correct british way for you
15:27right
15:28right
15:29right
15:29okay
15:31uh thank you
15:32um
15:32yep i think that that's that's everything
15:35thanks
15:35hi david it's ben gregston
15:48yeah um
15:50i think we're going to need to do a post-mortem on mr green please
15:53are you eating properly remember what the consultant said about keeping your energy up
16:05what's the point of all that now
16:08hey let's not start this again
16:10you should be grateful that i'm not raging against the dying of the light
16:14i'm bloody zen about it
16:16yes well i've not been back long and i'm still trying to get my head around it all
16:20nothing to get your head around it is what it is
16:24listen i think i'd like to get involved in the foundation
16:30the investment in the hospital
16:33you're only interested because it winds up hurry
16:36that is not the reason
16:38okay that is not the only reason
16:42come on dad
16:45i'm trying to make up for lost time
16:47let me help out
16:49okay
16:50then i've got a job for you
16:53hit me up
16:54turn that leo charm on some investors
16:57and squeeze some of the cash
17:01in his medical board
17:02isn't that harry's job
17:05well he's smart and he's got a good business brain but
17:08not the best front man
17:11okay
17:13would be my pleasure
17:15a chance to impress that beautiful doctor yesterday
17:19i bet he'd be going
17:22perhaps that's the reason
17:26the real reason
17:27less of the idle gossip old man
17:31how'd it go with the medical director
17:38apparently i don't have an acceptably british response to death
17:42thanks for asking though
17:45i know i know i know i'm an idiot and i'll die of lung cancer
17:52well i hide this from the nurses but i'm just as bad
17:53i tried to quit and ended up addicted to nicotine gum instead so there's no judgment here
17:59give us a quick drag
18:00jacob would have a field day if he caught me
18:01jacob would have a field day if he caught me
18:07so how's married life
18:29So, how's married life?
18:35Good.
18:38Cool.
18:42So, I guess I'll see you at this fundraiser thing?
18:46Now that your family's bankrolling the new wing?
18:49Hence I have to show a bit of interest while I'm here.
18:52Press the flesh of the local great and good.
18:53Sorry, but that does not sound very you.
18:56Well, that got me confused with that feckless rich kid you met 20 years ago.
19:00You should see me. I'm a real player now.
19:02Oh.
19:03Well, if you need a wingman, I am happy to help fleece them.
19:08You know, I somehow thought I'd never see you again.
19:15I've got theatre. I better get ready.
19:20Lottie.
19:22Ooh.
19:23Yes.
19:24Good idea.
19:39Oh, hello, love.
19:42My, you've hit the shops.
19:45Bought anything nice.
19:47Yes.
19:48For a special occasion, is it?
19:50Yes.
19:50Oh.
19:53Settling in, all right?
19:55Yes.
19:56Oh.
19:58Bye.
20:07All suited up and ready to whore ourselves.
20:10It's kind of obscene, isn't it?
20:13Those public servants sucking up to private finance.
20:15Public servants, are we?
20:16We do our jobs because we care, don't we?
20:19What, and the salary's just a bonus?
20:21Something like that.
20:24Um.
20:25You know the, uh, Pandian Foundation?
20:31You saw him?
20:33Thought so.
20:35Look at that face.
20:37What was it like seeing him again?
20:39Oh, God.
20:40It was like nothing.
20:41It was like seeing someone who looks a lot older than they did the last time I saw them.
20:46Look, there's no need to be jealous.
20:47Is he going to be there tonight?
20:53Everyone is.
20:55So let's just go and get it over with.
20:57I don't know.
20:57I don't know.
20:58I don't know.
21:00I don't know.
21:00You haven't.
21:03It's too much.
21:05Oh, God.
21:06Oh!
21:07Oh.
21:10Oh!
21:10Oh, my God.
21:11Oh, my God.
21:14Oh!
21:15Oh, no.
21:16Oh, my God.
21:18Oh, my God.
21:21Oh, your God.
21:22Oh, my God.
21:25Hi, Malcolm, isn't it, from Vantara Tech?
21:33Yes.
21:33I'm Charlotte Roberts, this is my husband.
21:35The other Dr. Roberts.
21:36Ah, well, I've heard lots about you both.
21:40You're a heart surgeon, eh?
21:41Well, you must have saved a lot of lives.
21:43Oh, no, a consultant needs to...
21:45Actually, I'm the heart surgeon.
21:47Senior consultant with 20 years experience.
21:50Well, well done, you.
21:52Can't be an easy job.
21:53Oh, uh, do you know, uh, Leo Pandian, from the Foundation?
22:02Hello again.
22:04Jacob, nice to see you.
22:07Oh, you know each other already?
22:10We do.
22:12Actually, Charlotte's agreed to be my wingman.
22:14Get you all to splash the cash for the hospital.
22:17Well, that right.
22:19Well, you ladies are good at getting men to pull out their credit cards, eh?
22:23Malcolm, you were telling me about the dialysis products you had in the R&D stage.
22:30Ah, yes, yes.
22:31Very exciting development.
22:32Well, let me get you another drink and you can tell me all about it.
22:35Oh, good, yeah.
22:40You all right?
22:42Mm-hmm.
22:42I'm going to go say hello to Gemma.
22:53What?
22:54Who the fuck is that?
22:57Just ignore them.
22:58Seriously, Lottie, who is that teenager he's turned up with?
23:00She's called Alyssa.
23:04Where did you know about her?
23:07He brought her round to the house.
23:09Not my idea, obviously, and I made it clear I was furious with him.
23:13And you've known all this time and you've said nothing?
23:14Fine.
23:14Fine.
23:16Fine.
23:17Fine.
23:19Fine.
23:19Fine.
23:31Jacob.
23:33Imagine this is a bit tame for you being back in all this.
23:36It's quite nice being home.
23:38Especially seeing friendly old faces.
23:42So you finally stop burning through the family fortune on your endless travels, then?
23:45Look, I'm not here to get in the way.
23:51Well, you're always in the way.
23:52Come on, mate.
23:54You won, didn't you?
23:55I was the scruffy backpacker, you were going places, and that's what she decided she wanted.
24:00All's fair in love and war.
24:03So why are you back here flashing the family cash around again?
24:06That's not what this is about, Jacob.
24:08No?
24:09Well, I thought you were offering to build a new wing in the hospital.
24:14I'm not offering anything.
24:16I'm here representing my family because my dad is dying.
24:22There is nothing I'd rather be doing less than talking to you.
24:27Believe me.
24:39Ah.
24:41I need a drink.
24:42I can see that.
24:43What's going on?
24:46Well, my best friend hates me, and my husband is pissed off that my ex is here, and I'm
24:50supposed to suck up to a load of boring dinosaur businessmen.
24:53Oh.
24:54You don't have to do that if you don't want to.
24:56Oh.
24:57Oh, but I do.
24:59Says who?
24:59It's just what's expected of me with a role like mine.
25:05Don't you get tired of having to be what they want you to be?
25:08I guess at times like this, I do, yeah.
25:12And if you didn't have to behave right now, what would you do?
25:20I don't know.
25:21A lot of shots and tell the boring bastards to fuck off.
25:23Exactly.
25:25You see, it's all in there just bubbling away and waiting to come up.
25:31Let's play a game.
25:34What kind of game?
25:37Think of all the power you have.
25:39Your job.
25:40Also, all the pressure it puts on you to behave in a certain way.
25:42What if you let go of all that for just one minute?
25:45Why on earth would I do that?
25:47Because it's liberating.
25:52And this works how?
25:55I tell you what to do, and you have to do it.
26:03I want you to tell someone in this room what you're really thinking.
26:06Not a big thing, just one person, but I get to decide who it is.
26:12Hmm.
26:14All right.
26:15Go on.
26:18Get that down your neck.
26:20Everyone is pissing me off.
26:22I want to get drunk and do something really dangerous.
26:24What about you?
26:30Come on, you big wuss, down in one.
26:37Oh, my God.
26:38Oh, my God.
26:39That was absolutely brilliant.
26:42Oh, God, did you see her face?
26:43Jesus Christ.
26:44Jesus.
26:44Oh, my God.
26:46I can't believe you just made me do it.
26:48It's so funny.
28:21It got quite confusing for a while.
28:24Jacob still can't stand him. He's super weird about him being back.
28:28Then you need to make a play.
28:30A play?
28:32A move to show Jacob that you're his.
28:35Do you enjoy messing with other people's relationships?
28:38That's not what I'm trying to do.
28:42Don't think he works like that.
28:44All men work the same. You just need to make them feel they are resistible.
28:48Let me show you how and prove to you that you have that power.
28:54I don't need advice on how to flirt with my husband.
28:58I was just suffering to help.
28:59You're right. I should flirt with my husband.
29:11But on my terms.
29:14All right.
29:15No, we've just done a photo shoot of the new equipment, which is really picking up in the Middle East.
29:25You know, actually, Alyssa's done a little bit of modelling.
29:28Don't be silly. It was just a couple of photo shoots.
29:31Come on.
29:31Well, if you ever want to model some printable 3D prosthetics, just let me know.
29:41Can you not?
29:42What?
29:42It's embarrassing.
29:42Oh, come on. I'm just trying to get you some work.
29:46What? In 3D prosthetics?
29:47Well, you've got to start somewhere, sweetheart.
29:49Bert, the job you mentioned.
29:52Clinical director of the new room.
29:53Yes.
29:54Maybe I was a little hasty.
29:56Oh, good.
29:57Good. Yeah, I was a bit surprised you turned it up.
29:59You'd be perfect for it.
30:01In fact, Malcolm, why don't you tell about some of the equipment we're going to put into the new wing?
30:04And there's my gorgeous husband.
30:06Right.
30:06Where have you been? I've missed you.
30:09Well, Alyssa, nice to see you.
30:12Likewise.
30:14Hey.
30:15Well, having too much fun without me.
30:18Have a drink with me.
30:21Sir, excuse us just for a second.
30:25What the hell are you doing?
30:26Are you trying to embarrass us?
30:27No, I'm trying to flirt with you.
30:28You're still a lot more than that in public, remember?
30:31Do you think this is the time or the place?
30:34Oh.
30:34Sorry, sorry about that.
30:35No, no, sure.
30:36Not at all.
30:37Good to see you, Lottie's so, um, full of life.
30:41There's something in the cocktail.
30:42Sure.
30:43I want what she's having.
30:45Yeah.
30:46Wings are strong, you know.
30:47Sure.
30:48Sure.
30:48Sure.
30:48Hmm.
30:49Hmm.
31:09Mm-hmm.
31:11I don't know.
31:41I don't know.
32:11I don't know.
32:15Mia, come join us.
32:16Hey.
32:17Hey, you can't do that.
32:34What the heck?
32:35May I have some quiet, please?
32:37Sorry, can we just...
32:39I'd like to say something.
32:40I haven't given you one yet.
32:41Benny Boo.
32:42Oh, my ex-husband.
32:45Sorry, the medical director of the hospital.
32:47Hands up anyone who thinks that a man in Ben's position should be screwing the fucking receptionist from the fucking gym.
32:54Okay, can someone get her out of here, please?
32:57I want to go.
32:58No, absolutely not.
32:59You're just making a fool of yourself.
33:01What are you doing?
33:02Fuck you.
33:03What kind of friend you turned out to be?
33:05I need some beer.
33:06Would you go for a walk with me?
33:07You're pathetic.
33:08All right, thanks.
33:09I'm gone.

36:36The way that you used to want me.
36:46What's it like seeing her again?
37:11Complicated.
37:13Like seeing a vision of her life, you might have had.
37:16But they seem really happy together.
37:20How can I begrudge anyone that?
37:24That's very magnanimous.
37:27I may not be expressing my trickiest thoughts,
37:31but I don't think that would be very useful.

40:06Hi.
40:07Hi.
40:08Thanks for the ride.
40:10Yeah, no worries.
40:12Night.
40:13Night.
40:14Do you guys fancy a nightcap?
40:21Yeah.
40:22Yeah, sure.
40:23Come in for one.
40:29White wine?
40:31Oh, God.
40:32No, I'm not sure I can drink any more.
40:35Of course you can.
40:38I genuinely think I've had one glass of fizz too many.
40:45It was a fun night, though.
40:47Hope you enjoyed our little game.
40:59Oh, Lord.
41:00Yeah, she has a tendency to crash after too much booze.
41:03In five seconds, though.
41:05I know, it's wild.
41:06Wow.
41:08All the more for us, I guess.
41:11I guess.
41:12Cheers.
41:13Cheers.
41:19It's a crazy night.
41:20Yeah.
41:21Tell me about it.
41:22You two were all over each other, though.
41:26Yeah, yeah.
41:29I guess we got a little carried away.
41:32You know, that was kind of all me.
41:47What was?
41:48What are you looking at me like that for?
42:09Not looking at you like anything.
42:10Really?
42:11Yeah, good morning.
42:12No.
42:13Maybe.
42:14Yeah, I'm not sure.
42:16No.
42:18No.
42:19No.
42:20No.
42:21No.
42:23No.
42:24No.
42:25No.
42:26No.
42:29No.
42:30No.
42:32No.
42:34No.
42:35No.
42:36No.
42:37Don't worry, she's out for the count.
43:07No, no, no. I can't. I love my wife.
43:15You know she did all that just to make Leo jealous.
43:21Do you think you're the one she wanted tonight?
43:37No, no, no.
44:05No, no. Be quiet.
44:15Be quiet.
44:21Jesus Christ. What have we done? What if she woke up?
44:37What if she did? I wonder that it'd be even hotter if she joined in.
44:43And maybe we can do that next time.
44:49What if she woke up?
44:59What if she woke up?
45:01What if she woke up?
45:11What if she woke up?
45:13What if she woke up?
45:27What if she woke up?
