HE SIGHS

You're up early.

Might've never
got me out of bed.

Ugh!

Sorry, I passed out. You
know me and too much booze.

That's OK. Ooh.

Do you remember me
putting you to bed?

Um, no.

There's fresh coffee.
Oh, my God. Thanks.

It was a fun evening.

Yeah.

Sorry we didn't get to
finish off what we started.

Did Mia stay long?

Not really.

Love you. Yeah. You too.

Oh! Morning!

Oh, hi!

Sorry about last night.

Um, passing out. What
an embarrassment.

Oh, it's fine.

We managed to have
fun without you.

Um, well, I wanted
to say thank you.

For what?

For... I don't know.
For stirring things up.

You were right - it worked.

He's taking me away
for our anniversary.

That's great. Mm-hm.
Where are you going?

Back to where we first
got together - Antwerp.

Medical students' holiday. Nice.

It's a surprise, but I saw
the booking on his laptop,

so don't tell him
that I know. Promise.

FRONT DOOR CLOSES

You ready?

Morning, Jacob! Morning, Mia.

Uh, we should probably...
Yeah, yeah. We're late.

Bye. Bye.

Oh, hey. Is this the local
paper? Yeah. Can I...?

What are you looking for?
I'll know if I find it.

Thanks.

HE SIGHS

PILLS RATTLE

Are those yours?

Uh, what are you doing in here?

I didn't know you had ADHD.

Yeah, look, it's... it's
an old med school habit.

I don't usually do it, but
I need to concentrate today.

Yeah. Me too.

HE SCOFFS Come on.

It's quite a low dosage.

Yeah, but they're quick release,
so I wouldn't have two...

That's what you had, didn't you?

Well, today's gonna be fun!

Not as much fun as last night,

but, then, what is?

Mia... About that. Uh...

It was... it was totally
out of character.

I don't cheat on my
wife. Yeah, but you did.

Uh, look...

It's all right. It can
be our... little secret.

Just like... this.

Sh.

See ya.

Ermine pressure 60.
Sinus rhythm, normal.

Nothing in drain. No inotrope.
Well, I think we're done.

Great work, team.

Let's get the
patient down to ICU.

All good? Absolutely.

Did you have fun at the
ball? YOU certainly did.

Did I upset you?
No. No, not at all.

Just seemed very
out of character.

Well, even consultants let
their hair down sometimes.

Well, I didn't think it
set a very good example,

if you must know.

VOICES ECHO

ECHOING: Are you
all right, Nurse?

Yes. I'm OK.

VOICES WHOOSH AND ECHO

SHE PANTS AND GASPS

Oh, there you are.

I've authorised
this for Mr Ashley.

Five milligrams of morphine. Can
you get him set up? Mm-hm. Yeah.

How are we doing
today, Mr Ashley?

I'm just going to top
up your pain relief. OK.

But I-I'm not...

That is Mr Arnold!

Mr Ashley's over there.

sh*t. Now, why didn't
you wait for me?

What is wrong with you? You nearly
gave morphine to the wrong patient.

I'm sorry, Matron, I
wasn't concentrating.

I expect a great deal
more care from my staff.

Do not let that happen
again. Yeah, of course.

Sorry. Can I have a word, Nurse?

You could have OD'd a patient.
You need to get a grip.

I'm trying. I'm just crazy
wired. I did warn you.

How come it's not affecting you?

How long have you
been doing this?

Does Charlotte know?
No, she doesn't.

So let's just keep
that between us, OK?

Are you going to be
OK to go back to work?

I think so.

THIS is exciting!

I love that you have no
idea where we're going.

THEY CHUCKLE

Hi. You all right? Thanks.

I'll get the door. Ooh!

LOUD THUD

KNOCK AT DOOR

Hey.

I'm going away for
a few days. Right.

Can you keep an eye on my house?
I'm not in the mood for jokes.

I'm serious.

If you see anything
or anyone strange,

could you... just...?

Why?

Are you worried about someone?

No. No, I mean, in general,
can you just keep an eye?

Something you're good at anyway.

Sure, if you like.

Thanks.

So! Here we are, 20 years later!

THEY CHUCKLE Thank you, darling.

When did you guess
where we were going?

I may have seen the hotel
booking on your laptop.

HE GROANS Oh, come on,
it's our anniversary -

it's always going
to be a decent bet!

I'm so excited to be back.

Come on. So it's
the master suite.

It's on the second floor and the
staircases are just over there.

So, welcome, and have a pleasant
stay. Thank you very much.

Thank you. Maybe
we need a bit more

spontaneous sex in the loos, if
this is what it leads to. Mm!

Mm!

Not bad!

Cheers! Cheers!

So...

Patience.

Hello. Welcome to Antwerp.

Hands up for those who are here
for the historical city art tour.

All of you? What?!
OK. Let's go. Come on.

That's a beauty. With
plenty of salt and vinegar.

Yeah. Curry sauce!

Simply heaven.

What's this? Do you know how
long I've been craving this?

He's not meant to be
eating fatty foods.

Look, Gandhi, what
Dad wants, Dad gets.

Oh, please! Enough
of that health kick.

Eh? What difference
does it make? Yeah?

So, how was the ball?
Did you die of boredom?

Do you know what?
It wasn't that bad.

It's nice to represent
the family. Mm.

Ah. Well, it's very easy swanning
around, shaking a few hands.

I'm not trying to
step on your toes.

Then, get off 'em, then.
Why do I get the feeling

you want me out of the way?

What could possibly have
given you that impression?

Enough, Hari.

He's just trying to help.
Leo, stop winding him up.

I don't want to spend
my remaining hours

listening to you boys bicker.

Sorry, Dad. Sorry.

Listen, the doctors think
you're doing pretty well.

Please!

Any fool can see I'm
in terminal decline.

Once I go downhill,

don't keep me alive
with no quality of life.

The siege of the city,
which lasted for four days,

was an episode from
the Eighty Years of w*r

that was started by the Dutch
Revolt against Spanish rule.

And it's definitely one of
the most important periods

in the history of
the Low Countries.

OK. Follow me.

Did you hear a single word?

Yeah.

All right, when
was that painted?

Well... Definitely not
this century or the last.

Sorry. Are you bored?
No, but you are.

I'm not! It's very interesting.

I thought you liked a
bit of cultural stuff.

I do. It's nice. Thanks.

Hm.

PHONE VIBRATES

PHONE ALERT

BELL CHIMES

CLASSICAL MUSIC PLAYS

Bloody hell, what is this
place? This, my darling,

is the finest Michelin-star
restaurant in the city.

Well, it's insane. Are you sure
we're dressed smartly enough?

Yeah, we look great.

And for you, sir, the
eels in green sauce.

It's a local
speciality. Bon appetit.

Thank you. Mm.

Why do you always order the
most obscure thing on the menu?

Mm!

How are they?

They're very,

very eely. Oh, God!

You never learn.

Mm!

The tour was awful, wasn't it?

SHE CLEARS THROAT The
first hour was OK.

The second and third
were a bit much.

I really appreciate all the
effort you're putting in.

You don't have to try
so hard to impress me.

You're always teasing
me that I'm not cultured

or well-travelled enough, so...

I never said that. Well,
not in so many words, but...

You don't need to try
and be anyone but you.

Just... relax.

Why do I feel like I'm
getting everything wrong?

What's up with you?

Nothing. I'm fine.

You know, um, Ben asked
me if I'd like to apply

to be the clinical
director of the new wing.

What, go into management.

Well, why not?

Maybe it's time to get
a bit more ambitious.

Mm, I thought that
was your idea of hell.

I thought you'd be impressed.

Well, if that's what you want.

Christ, I'm just trying
to up my game. All right?

I'm just gonna go to the loo.

OK.

Oh... God.

FOOTSTEPS APPROACH

Hi. How's it going?

Oh, is everything all right?

Ah, you know.

My dad's dying, and he's coping
with it better than I am.

Oh, Leo.

I'm really sorry.

Honestly, listen to
me - it's pathetic.

I need to be strong for him.

Well...

Actually, you... you don't.

I mean, you need to feel
what you're feeling.

Your dad doesn't need to know.

Thanks.

Thank you very much.
He's still so together,

even as his body is failing him.

And I am such a
mess in comparison.

What you're going through
is totally normal.

We're the ones left
behind to grieve.

It's hard for us to process.

That's OK. You know?

My God, I remember
this place so well.

So, obviously, the idea
was to bring us back

to the bar where
we first kissed.

Look! Here we are!

It doesn't exactly feel like
we're in the most romantic mood.

Oh, come on, get over yourself.

I'll buy you a beer.

PHONE ALERT

Here.

God, it's like we
were here yesterday.

Do you remember
how drunk Neil got?

Someone had to take
him back to the hotel.

Leo.

Hm!

It was his fault. He'd
just got his trust fund.

He was buying everyone's
shots, remember?

I think that was just a clumsy
way of him trying to be generous.

I see he's ditched that
rich hippie vibe these days.

He's just plain old rich.

It's him.

That's what all this is about.

I can see you change every
time you clap eyes on him.

Oh, God...

I'm being nice. Are you?

Jesus, you are so paranoid.

Thanks.

Back in a sec.

You need anything?
Uh, no. I'm fine. OK.

PHONE VIBRATES

FOOTSTEPS APPROACH

Hey...

Look, we didn't get
off to a good start,

so let's just have a reset.

Have some fun.

Pick up where we left
things at the ball.

I like the sound
of that. Exactly.

We're away in a place
full of strangers.

No-one watching,
no-one judging us.

How about I take the lead today?

And what do you have in mind?

Uh, you know what?
I have no clue.

Let's finish breakfast, walk out
the door, and then I will decide.

FOOTSTEPS APPROACH
Hey! Hari Pandian.

Yeah, I remember. Yeah.

I need to show some investors
around the disused wing.

Uh, you'll need clearance
on any visitors to site.

OK.

Well, can you sort that out?

Uh, it's not actually my job,

but, um, I can get
admin onto it for you.

How long would that take?

I... don't know, sorry.

Listen, these investors
are a pain in the arse.

I need to know how long.
I said I'll get on to it.

You didn't do us any favours
the other night, did you?

They all saw your
marital slanging match.

I might even pull the plug
on this whole development.

Maybe I'll pin the blame on you.

Sort that clearance out, yeah?

What the hell was
that all about?

What do you think they thought

when they saw you with that
young girl on your arm?

You're not acting
like a serious person.

Says the drunk woman who shouted
at us from across the room

because that absolutely
screamed grown up!

Right, well, neither of us
showered ourselves in glory.

But you humiliated me that
night. This is on you. Is it?

Is it?

No, I don't think so.

Perhaps you can mend things
with the Pandian Foundation,

especially given your new-found
close relationship with Leo.

Oh, get out of my office.

OK.

Hm!

No chance!

No.

Lottie, I'm not getting
on a scooter. Come on!

Have you done this before?
I just got the app.

You got the app? I like to be
organised. When did you get the app?

See you later. All
right, give me a sec!

Come on, hurry up!

Oh, my God! Oh,
my God! Look out!

All right. Easy!

You need to wait for me!

I'm going to win!

See you back in
the office. Thanks.

Glad I caught you.
How are you doing?

Yeah, all right. Can
I get you a coffee?

Now? Yeah. Yeah, sure.

Oh, wait, this one's yours.

Thank you.

I wanted to ask you something.

Are you involved in
your family foundation?

Not really. It's more my
half brother's domain.

So you're not close?

No.

So I'm not speaking out of turn
if I told you he's just threatened

to pull the plug on the
funding of the new wing?

What, to your face? Oh,
yeah. Proper threat.

God, I knew the devoted son
act was too good to be true.

Christ! Dad would be
so upset if he knew.

Wonder what else he's hiding from
me. I feel bad telling you this.

No, no, don't. I'm glad
I've got you on my side.

Here you go. Oh!

One fun, one non-fun.

What is that? I don't know.
What is that?! Look at it.

You're never going to
be able to eat all that.

Of course I will.
No way. All right.

Mm! Mm!

Mm, that is good.
Oh, it is, yeah.

Plain is good. Mm! Mm!

Mm.

OK...

I have decided that the
rest of the day should be...

...foreplay.

Mm! Lottie! Mm, I thought
that would shock you.

What do you mean? I mean...

...sharing the things
that we would like to do.

Mm.

But no more touching.

None? No.

The more we wait,
the more we want it.

Mm.

THEY CHUCKLE

Want some? Go on, then.

Mm! Feel like a naughty teenager
swigging cider on the school bus.

Fun, isn't it?

Right, come here.

So...

...what were you thinking
about this morning?

When?

At breakfast. You were
looking at that woman.

I know that look.

What was it about her?

I, er...

I thought it was
Mia for a second.

Mm.

In fact, I could have sworn I
saw her last night, near the bar.

That's why I got up to go see.

Sounds like you've got
someone on the brain.

You can say yes. It's OK.

It's not like I don't
know you fancy her.

Have you ever had... a proper
crush that you wanted to act on?

What kind of question
is that? Well, have you?

Of course.

It doesn't mean... that I would.

What's stopping you?

Oh, I don't know. Um, I imagine
you wouldn't be very impressed.

SHE CHUCKLES

Anyway, what about you?

Actually, I rarely get crushes.

But you have had them.

Now and again.

Do you have one right now?

What if I said yes?

It's him, isn't it?

f*ck's sake.

Let's just leave Leo
out of it, shall we?

All right. Sorry.

It's OK.

Well, who is it, then?

OK.

I think I have a bit of a crush

on Mia.

I've never known you be
into women. Well, I'm not!

Or I wasn't. Oh, I don't know.

I feel like such an
idiot saying it out loud.

But you admitted that you've
been thinking about her, so...

And what do you want
to do about that crush?

Nothing.

Don't be silly. I'm just...

I'm just telling you.

I thought it might turn you on.

It's certainly doing that.

Mm.

Oh good - still here.

Working late?

Sorry about earlier.

What do you want?

Um, OK, so the
pathologist has just rung

with his report about the
death of Mr Green, and,

um, well, there
are some anomalies.

What kind of anomalies?

Drugs found in the body
that were not prescribed.

As in potential
clinical error? Yeah.

Well, potentially.

I don't know, but... Then, we
need to open an investigation.

Right.

Yeah.

Thought you were
going to say that.

Christ. This is not
going to go down well.

Yeah.

There's also been
a bit of disquiet

about one of the nurses'
response to Mr Green's death.

Um... Well, she was
pretty rude about him.

I mean, that doesn't mean much.

Maybe. I... I don't know.

I suppose it will
come out in the wash.

Um...

Let's keep this from
Hari and the foundation.

They're on our backs
enough as it is. Yeah. OK.

And thanks for letting me know.

Night.

Night.

Cheers. Cheers.

So this fantasy with Mia...

Does it involve me, or is
it just the two of you?

What a question. Come
on, you started it.

I did.

OK.

I don't know if I've
got that far in my head.

What if I helped you get there?

Oh, God...

We can't. Not here. Why not?

There's nobody around.

Ah...

Sit down.

Can I touch you now?

Mm-hm.

SHE MOANS

FOOTSTEPS Imagine it's Mia.

THEY MOAN

I want to stay, don't stop.

Let's get out of here.

SHE CHUCKLES

THEY GIGGLE

Oh! f*ck! What the f*ck?

Hi.

What are you doing in our room?!

What are you doing HERE?!

Oh, my God, it WAS you.

Mm-hm. What is going on?

Er... All that stuff you were
saying - did you know about this?

No, I swear. Wait, did YOU?

No!

You can't just walk in here.

You have to leave. Tell her.

You should... I've been
texting you both, so...

I thought I'd just come over.

Now that I'm here,
no-one's watching.

We can do whatever we want.

We don't need you.

Oh.

God, sorry, I...

I'm sorry. I completely
misread the situation.

Wait.

Don't move.

TRAIN ROARS PAST

Show me how you f*ck her.

THEY MOAN

Can I have it now?
