PHONE NOTIFICATION

PHONE NOTIFICATION

You were back late.

I was just out
with some friends.

Which friends?

Just some people from work.

Please don't do this to
me. I know where you were.

When you climbed into bed,
I could smell her on you.

Oh, God. I'm sorry.

What's happened to us?

I don't know.

I don't know what's going on
between you and her, but...

...I think she
could be dangerous.

I know that you're hurt...

...but I don't want
to hear stupid gossip.

It's not gossip.

I... Ben found some anomalies

in the records of the deaths
they're investigating.

Meaning?

Meaning Mia may have
covered up a mistake.

Meaning she may have k*lled a
patient on more than one occasion.

That is a very
serious accusation.

Are you saying
that he has actual,

concrete evidence that
this was definitely Mia?

I mean, he's still investigating,
but it does look like...

Why are you trying
to defend her?

Are you in love with her?

No.

Is that what you're scared of?

Is that why you're throwing
all these accusations around?

I'm trying to save
our marriage, Lottie.

You're embarrassing
yourself. Oh, for God...

Is that all you're
worried about? No!

How it looks to everyone
else? Because I am so sick...

Oh, is that how you see us? Just
some, some social obligation?

No.

That's... I wasn't
talking about us.

Well, I was.

You don't love me any more.

Honestly, I...

...I don't know how I feel.

This is a mess.

I'm sorry.

You know, she just uses sex
to get whatever she wants.

Please don't. I know that this
is... She's manipulating you...

Oh, God! I am a grown-up!

I am perfectly capable
of making my own choices!

She f*cked me in our living
room, after the ball...

...while you were
sleeping next to us.

You mean you f*cked each other?

Or were you just an
innocent bystander?

INDISTINCT PA ANNOUNCEMENTS

Hi.

Are you OK?

Oh, you know, not great.

Listen, Jacob. I know we haven't
seen eye to eye on things,

but I just really need someone
to be honest with me about Dad.

I can do that. What
do you need to know?

The surgeons say
they can't operate,

but what is there to
lose by giving it a go?

It's because, well...

...it's too late. The
cancer is too advanced.

And from my perspective,

I would never administer
a general an aesthetic to

a patient with cardiac
issues like your father's.

It would almost
certainly k*ll him.

And no anaesthetist wants
to be responsible for that.

Look, I know that's not
what you want to hear.

Well, erm...

...at least he's getting
the best care possible.

The... The nurses
have been brilliant.

Mia.

What are you doing in here?

Matron asked me. They're
really short-staffed.

She's an angel, sent here
to cart me off to heaven.

We'll have no more
of that, Mr Pandian.

I thought you were on my
side. She knows I want to go.

Why don't you put
me out of my misery?

Mia, perhaps we give Mr
Pandian and his son a moment.

Thanks.

How's it going, son?

Something on your mind?

OK. Um...

I'm not sure that Hari is

the right person to be
running the foundation.

I'm sick of this. I know
that... No, it isn't personal.

This is based on what
I've learnt. Which is?

I think Hari is trying to pull out
of the entire hospital project.

Well...

...that would be a shame.
Well, we can't let it happen.

You don't want to run
things. I don't blame you.

That is not true.

I have actually come to care
about the foundation quite a bit,

genuinely. I won't just run
away and abandon it after y...

After I've gone?

That's good to know.

Oh, I'm tired. Let's talk
about this another time.

Of course.

I know we don't say
this much in our family,

but I love you, son.

I love you too, Dad. Mm.

This is the record for Mr Arnold,
who died on the 4th of November.

Yeah. Here you can see a list of
all the medications administered.

Here you can see

that a morphine dose was logged
just before the time of death.

But that entry was
later deleted. What...?

Why, does this happen
often? I mean, never.

Nurses shouldn't even know
how to do it in the system.

Right. So why does it then
say, "Deleted by M Eldegard"?

I don't know.

But you should talk to Annette,
because Mia almost gave

a morphine dose to the same

patient on another
occasion last week.

What?! Yeah. And, erm...

...we both think that she
might have taken something.

I know. She was
acting really strange.

Why didn't you tell
me this at the time?

I know, I'm sorry. I just...

I mean, until I saw this,
I hadn't joined the dots.

OK. So with regard to Mr Greene's
death, she could have given him

the potassium that we
now know k*lled him.

Yeah.

And something else.

A man from Norway keeps calling the
hospital trying to speak to Mia.

So we think she might be running
from some real trouble back there.

OK.

Christ, this, this is bad.

Erm... OK.

I need to get Gemma involved
and look into this right now.

f*ck's sake.

Oh, sh*t. What?

Oh, Christ.

Hey, is Mia Eldegard on shift?

Yeah. She's on the ward.
Is there a problem? Yep.

Go get her off it now
and then bring her

up to Gemma's
office, please. Now.

You need to come with me.

I'm just in the middle
of putting... Jaden,

can you manage alone?
Of course, Matron.

What's going on?

Ms Eldegard, following some
significant new information,

we were forced to
search your locker.

Now, I apologise for the
intrusion, but we had no choice.

Mia, what are these?

I don't know, they're not mine.

Well, they were
found in your locker.

I don't know why. I
didn't put them there.

These belong to a patient.

Did you steal them for your
own personal consumption?

No, I did not. And I didn't
put them in my locker.

I don't know who put them in.

Hello, Mr Pandian.
How are we today?

KNOCKING ON DOOR I'm so
sorry to interrupt. Matron,

we have an unexplained
death on ward seven.

What? Right, OK. Let's
go. Stay right there.

Jaden, you stay here
with Ms Eldegard.

Yeah. Yeah, yeah.

Thank you.

The monitor was unhooked.

Right.

INDISTINCT CHATTER

OK. So, who was looking after
Mr Pandian this morning?

Mia Eldegard.

Right. Yeah. I asked her to cover.
We're incredibly short-staffed.

I'm so sorry.

Uh, no. That's OK. Thanks,
Annette. Thank you. OK.

Thank you, Jaden. Sure. Can you
close the door on the way out? Yes.

Who died?

Raj Pandian.

Oh, that's a shame.
Such a nice man.

But he was suffering a lot.

Did you help end that suffering?

I would never do that.

And what about the
drugs in your locker?

Ugh. I told you I didn't put
them there. Do you deny stealing

and abusing prescription
drugs during a shift?

Well... Were you acting
with anyone else?

Why don't you talk to
Dr Roberts about this?

I've actually already
spoken to him.

He caught you taking
them, didn't he?

Hi.

Uh, sorry.

Give me a second.

What the hell's going on?

I'm hearing all sorts
of crazy rumours.

Oh, you've heard about
Mr Pandian? Yeah.

Someone said not natural causes.

We don't know yet,
but it looks like it.

How?

Lottie, did you ever see
Mia in Mr Pandian's room?

Um...

...once. While she
was on shift there?

Actually, I, erm...

She shouldn't have been
there, and I told her as much.

Anything else I need to know?

I know you're friendly with
her, but I need the truth.

Only that, erm...

...she and the patient

were very openly talking
about the end of his life.

What a mess.

Ms Eldegard, we
have found anomalies

in the records of two patients
in your care who've died.

And now a third
patient has potentially

been assisted in ending their
life, all on your watch.

I was on duty, Matron...
You've also stolen

and abused prescription
drugs whilst on duty.

So as a result, you're now
suspended, with immediate effect

while we refer this to the
Nursing and Midwifery Council.

You're not allowed
to see or speak

to any of your colleagues
during your suspension.

Do you understand? It's a
mistake. KNOCKING ON DOOR

Security will now take
you to your locker

where you can collect
your belongings,

apart from the items that
we're keeping as evidence.

They will then escort
you from the building.

Get off me! I'm leaving, OK?

I just saw him this morning.

He didn't seem that
unwell. He was...

He was in good
spirits. I'm so sorry.

Was he in pain? What happened?

Leo, we're going to have
to do a post-mortem.

Why? Well, there's a chance

someone may have helped
hasten his death.

I know this is a huge shock

on top of everything
I've already told you.

Obviously, we're trying to get
to the bottom of what happened.

That nurse, Mia, who was just being
escorted out. Was that...? Yes.

But we don't know
the whole story yet.

I want to see him.

Of course.

Goodbye, Dad.

At least he's not suffering any
more. I need to know what happened.

He didn't choose to go.

He was desperate to go. How
can you say that? It's true.

I'm just as heartbroken
as you, all right?

But he wanted to go.

Not like this. We
don't know that.

So what, does it matter?
It matters to me.

Do you want me to do
the practical stuff?

Such as? Organising the funeral,

talking to the solicitor
about the will. I don't mind.

Oh, I bet you don't.

Sorry? I think part of you
wanted him out of the way

so now you can do what you want.

I'll let that go because
we're both in shock.

DOORBELL RINGS

Yvonne.

Nice to see you. Hello, Alan.
I'm sorry to pop by unannounced.

It's just... Mia. I'm
quite worried about her.

She's having some trouble at work,
and she's not answering her door.

Have you seen her?

I haven't. Sorry.

Do you want to
come in? Thank you.

It's a nice house you've
got here. It's very homely.

Rather lacks the female touch.

I mean, I wasn't saying
that I was looking...

You worry too much. You can
say what you'd like around me.

Erm...

Yes. Just milk. Thank you.

I'm sorry to hear about Mia.
She's been very kind to me.

Yeah.

She's a very confused young
woman, but she's got a good heart.

And she thinks that you do, too.

I know what you did, Alan.

But I believe that
people can change.

That's very kind of you, Yvonne.

I hope I can prove it.

Do you know, I really
love Harry Hole novels.

Have you read The Leopard?

Yeah. Erm...

It was brilliant. Erm...

I think my favourite is Nemesis.
Oh, no, I've not read that one.

Well, I-I have a copy of it.

I could... lend it to
you? If you don't mind.

No, erm...

It'd be my pleasure.

One minute.

MACHINE BEEPS

Oh. I'm so sorry, nurse. Could
you get me another one? Thank you.

Are you all right, doctor?

I'm fine.

Look. Oh!

I was just looking for your loo.
Sure. It's that door, down there.

Great, thank you.

No, this isn't how it looks.

SHE KNOCKS Mia!

Mia, I know you're there.

Please let me in.

I'm here for you.

PHONE RINGS

BEEPING Hi, Mia.

I know you're home.

BEEPING

You have one new message.

Hi, Mia. I know you're
home. I saw you in there.

Call me when you're ready
and I'll come round.

LOCKS CLICK

You know, I spoke to
her partner in Norway.

He'd been ringing the
hospital, worried about her.

She ran out on him,
stole his money.

We were both played, Lottie.

Let's just admit it.

So let's try and move on, get
my marriage back on track.

I'm going to go for a
run, then I'll fix dinner.

PHONE RINGS

Hi, Leo. Lottie.

I am so sorry about your dad.

Thank you. It was a big shock.

If the rumours are true
about how it happened...

...then I'm responsible
for not realising.

Don't be silly. Of course
you're not responsible.

Well, I feel awful
about it. Please don't.

Listen, I'd love to
see a friendly face.

Don't suppose you fancy a drink?
Yeah, yeah. I'm on my way.

Thanks for coming over.
How are you doing?

I've really screwed it up,
Lottie. No, you haven't.

I have. I'm pretty sure Hari's
going to destroy the foundation.

I only plucked up the
courage to tell Dad today.

It's too late. No, you don't know
that. You've got to wait and see.

Dad thought I didn't
want to stay around.

But I would if I could
continue his legacy.

Well, I know things have been
a bit complicated between us,

but I would really
like it if you did.

Have you seen Mia?

No, I'm not allowed
while they investigate.

Leo, I know what you said, but
I feel really terrible that I...

No, you are not responsible.

Maybe I've been a really
bad judge of character.

Look. I'm angry with
her if she did it,

because I wasn't ready
to say goodbye to Dad.

But she was really
kind and caring to him.

Dad adored her.

Beginning to think that
maybe he asked her to do it.

I can believe that.

But morally, it is
completely wrong.

It is not how we work as
doctors or nurses. But -

and I know this will sound
weird - if it's what dad wanted,

does it make her
evil for helping him?

I'm not sure it does.

PHONE RINGS

Gem.

No, it's fine. I'm actually having
a drink with Lottie at mine.

Stop by.

OK.

What...? She wants to speak
to both of us urgently.

Evening. Hey, how are you?

Sorry. Erm, Isaac, we
spoke on the phone.

You're the doctor?
Yeah, hi. Jacob.

Hi. Nice to meet you. Thank you.

Thank you so much. No,
please, no. I'm happy to help.

I'm so glad you're
reunited. Yeah.

Well, it's... I'm
sorry to bother you.

I mean, with all of
this, it's been...

I mean, she has...
She has a real

habit of running away
from her problems. Mm.

And, I mean, we... We're
supposed to be getting married.

Really? Yeah. God,
I-I didn't know that.

Yeah. No, no. We've been planning
the wedding for later this year,

and then she leaves, and
now it's just... Yeah. Yeah.

Did she... Did she mention she's
having difficulties at work?

No. I mean, we haven't had the
time to discuss anything, so...

She's, erm... She's
in a lot of trouble.

OK.

Yeah. That, erm...

That sounds like
Kasia for sure. Kasia?

Yeah. Mia, that's not her real
name... Mia's... not her real name.

God.

Wow. Yeah, sorry. It's,
erm... It's a long story.

No... Well, look, I
don't want to keep you,

but I really hope it works
out for the two of you.

I hope so, too. And
thank you again. No.

Good night. OK, good
night. Good night.

Hi. Hi.

Are you OK? What's up?

I feel bad sharing this,
particularly for you,

Leo, because it might have

a bearing on what
happened to your dad.

I'd rather know.
What have you found?

This is strictly between us.

The reason we suspect
Mia is because her name

has been associated with
other deaths in the hospital.

Jesus. Yeah, I know. And you
really cannot repeat that.

And the main evidence was
that she'd altered pain

relief records of one of
the patients who died.

IT checked it out. It was only
altered at 7pm last night.

And Mia wasn't on the
rota for that shift.

She definitely wasn't working
then. How do you know?

Because I was with her.

So what does this mean?

Whoever altered it
maybe doesn't realise

that we can find out what
happened. If it wasn't Mia,

maybe it's someone who was
trying to pin this all on her.

Hungry?

Of course. But you also understand
that I'm trying to manage

the reputation of a
hospital. And, you know,

if a story like this got out,
the reputational damage...

Well, from the nursing
council's point of view,

I can't see you avoiding
calling in the police.

But let's discuss it
tomorrow. OK. OK, yeah.

No, we'll, erm... We'll see you
tomorrow. Thank you. Bye. Bye.

HE WHISPERS EXASPERATEDLY

Ach.

Hey!

Hi. Oh, sh*t. I'm so sorry.

Oh... Look, to be honest,
it has been a hell of a day.

OK.

What are you doing? Won't
be needing those any more.

Why? What... Why are
you doing this now?

Oh, Dr Gregston, don't
say you're surprised.

You're boring, you're old
and you work too much.

So I'm taking a leaf
out of your book,

and I'm trading you in for a
younger model. OK. Alyssa, can we...

Can we just have a conversation
about this, please?

See you around?
Well, probably not.

We don't have a lot
in common, do we?

Let's be clear here.

My dad definitely didn't
die of natural causes?

It looks that way. All his
monitors had been unplugged.

If it wasn't Mia... What
about the other deaths?

There's no concrete evidence linking
her directly to any of the deaths.

It's all circumstantial.
But she was stealing drugs.

Was she?

Well, that's interesting.

Why?

What? Do you know something
you haven't told us?

There's no way of saying
this without feeling

like I'm trying to damage
your marriage. And I'm not,

I swear. I know. What is
it? I saw Mia in a corridor.

She'd taken something and from what
I could hear, she wasn't alone.

You need to get a grip. I'm
trying. I'm just crazy wired.

How come it's not affecting you?
How long you been doing this?

If I had to guess, I'd
say Jacob gave it to her,

and he took it more often

so he was used to the
effects more than she was.

I'm so sorry, Lottie.

What is it?

He's, erm...

He's done it before.

At med school.

I should probably also tell
you, I think Ben has got Jacob

to do his dirty work on the
investigation on the sly,

so he has access to everything.

So it could have been him
who altered the records.

It's certainly possible. No.

Does he have any reason
to discredit Mia?

Are you OK, Lottie? Yeah.

Yes. He does have a reason.

So what do we do now?

I think I need to confirm exactly
what Jacob's been up to before

I talk to Ben, because
he's super loyal to Jacob.

And I do not trust him
not to say something.

What if Jacob gets wind? He
can't. And we need to keep a close

eye on him to make sure he
doesn't tamper with anything else,

or we will never find out who
was responsible for the deaths.

And in the meantime, I just go home
and pretend that everything's normal?

LULLABY PLAYS You
still got this?

I thought you wanted
to forget your parents.

MUSIC STOPS

Do you not understand
why I ran away?

You kept me in a f*cking cage.

That's how I made you feel?

I'm so sorry.

Are you?

Why did you threaten to tell
everyone about the money?

I don't remember
doing that. You did.

You were going to expose
me to my managers.

I would never do that. No,
I saw you in the hospital.

Yeah, because I was
inviting people.

To our engagement party.

What?

Yeah. No. You said you were
going to... S-Said what?

Said what?

Are you sure you didn't
just make that up?

So paranoid.

I know...

...it was such a crazy time.

Oh, perfect timing.
You've not eaten yet?

No, take a seat. I'll dish up.

Where were you?

I just popped out
to see Leo. Sorry.

It's fine. How's he doing?

As well as can be expected.

Well...

...did you give
him my best? Mm-hm.

Here you go, darling.

Thanks. Bon a pet it.

Mm. Not bad...

...if I do say so myself.

Ben just texted. They're thinking
of getting the police in.

Just what the hospital
doesn't need. Mm.

Still, they're very serious
accusations against her.

I guess they don't
have much choice.

I guess not.

I'm glad you came back.

Yeah, me too.

Another?

I think I'm good.

I was hoping you'd say yes so
you could stay a bit longer.

You don't want to
be on your own?

I'm just dreading that wall
of grief hitting me again.

And when I'm with you,

I feel like I can forget
about it for a minute.

Well, then maybe I
will have another.

Darling, coming to bed?

SHE MUTTERS

Lottie?

Night.

Kasia.

Baby.

I know it's hard to be alone.

But you're not alone any more.

OK, I think we're going
to wrap it up for today.

Great session.

Really? Really.

I think we should talk
about it. Talk about what?

What's happening here.
What IS happening here?

I think you're trying to
seduce me in these sessions.

Kasia...

Come here.

Come sit with me.

HE PATS HIS LEG Come here.

Come.

Hey.

ECHOING: You've done
something to me, Kasia.

I've done something to you?

You're my therapist. It's OK.

ECHOING: You want me to be
more than that, then it's OK.

Just put it back on.

Just do it.
