(CHILD PANTS)
GIRLS: Nik! Nik!
Nik! Nik! Nik!
GIRL: Nik! Where are you?
GIRL 2: Nik!
Nik!
Nik!
Nik!
(RUSTLING)
Nik!
(DEEP BREATHING)
Eat me.
(WOMAN MOANS)
Oh, what the?!
Don't stop! Don't stop! Ah!
I was next!
Oh!
Get back here! Get back here! Oh!
Oh, I was this close!
NIK: Trevor. Trevor.
TREVOR: Genevieve!
NIK: Hey, hey, hey.
I turn my back for five minutes!
Let him go.
Let him go!
Please.
TREVOR: He cut my frickin' grass!
NIK: Collette!
It's not your grass to cut, mate.
TREVOR: Who the fuck are you?
I'm her husband.
TREVOR:
Well, she said she wanted to.
NIK: Out! Out of here!
TREVOR: But I I didn't! I didn't!
Can someone just finish me off,
please?
Get some clothes on her now.
Don't touch him.
He's royalty.
Come on, mate.
Who do you think is paying
for this hotel?
Let's get some shorts on. Come on.
LINDA: My office. Now.
Hop up.
You can't keep me in here!
Genevieve!
Keep your clothes on.
You're not a doctor!
You are just a little boy.
I am your doctor,
the registrar on this ward.
You're not. Look at you.
You can't even walk in your shoes
'cause they're hers
and they're size 10.
I'll take it from here.
She has to stay in her room.
I want to see Dr Wells,
not this 5-year-old.
She's not in yet.
Look at you! You've got nappies on.
I can see his nappy.
Come on.
(LAUGHS) Get out of here.
Gen, come on. Just calm down.
Just calm down a bit.
(LAUGHS)
Ooh, calm down.
Whoa. Hey.
Calm down.
Where's your shorts? Got your shorts?
I don't want my shorts on.
Let's grab your shorts. Come on.
Hey, don't do that.
Come here.
Still red-raw down there.
What have you been doing?
Gen, please. Stand up.
If I get dressed, you get undressed.
No, no.
Here.
Don't you want my creme brulee?
Gee jeez.
OK. OK, OK.
OK.
You're boring.
Come on.
(KAREENA GROANS AND SIGHS)
Oh. Sorry, I was just, um,
trying to kill something.
You know we can treat
homicidal urges now?
(LAUGHS SARCASTICALLY)
What do you need?
Uh, can you fit
Genevieve and her husband in?
She's Rohan's patient.
Yeah, but he's scared of her.
He's not scared of her!
Yeah, he is.
He's scared of all of his patients
and shit at his job.
Excuse me!
He's done a 6-year medical degree
plus three years of psychiatry.
Doesn't mean
he knows what he's doing.
He's just he's young.
He's trying to find his feet.
He's tone-deaf.
What do you mean?
Look, he doesn't have it.
At least review her meds.
Otherwise she'll eat him
for breakfast.
Don't you sometimes just want cock?
RAFF: Oh, Genevieve!
Give her a break.
KAREENA: It's alright.
GENEVIEVE: Seriously. When was
the last time that you had it?
Look at those dirty little eyes.
She wants it. You can tell.
KAREENA: Gen.
You asked me to fit you in
and I have.
I can talk to you.
I can review your medication.
It's not gonna help.
There's no cure.
No cure for?
For love!
There's no cure for love!
It's like trying to stop
..like, an avalanche.
RAFF: I knew it was coming.
I could, um
..I could sense it, you know.
It's
..she gets this
..intensity, this
..energy surge, it creeps up,
and and before you know it,
she's on fire,
hungry for everything.
Except sleep.
Except sleep.
But, man, the sex.
She wants it morning,
noon and night, and then more.
I mean, it's
what guy doesn't want that, right?
It's like when you eat
really rich chocolate
and you know you should stop,
but you can't.
TESSA:
Fucking do something about it!
So, what else she hungry for?
Besides sex.
Music.
Mm-hm.
She plays lots of music very loud.
Eating.
And flowers.
Flowers?
Well, plants.
She's a landscape gardener.
One of the best.
Right.
Raff. Got a minute?
Just through here.
Take a seat.
Just wanted to give you
a quick update.
The cleaner's been sacked,
so you won't have a worry there.
Really, no, it wasn't his fault.
But
You should you should
..Genevieve does need watching 24/7.
We've had to special her.
One-on-one.
(SIGHS)
It's bad enough she's back in care.
She needs privacy and safety
while she's going through this.
If it makes you feel any better,
I've assigned our best nurse
for the job.
She couldn't be in safer hands.
(SNIFFING)
Dad, um
..I can't talk right now -
I'm specialling a patient.
Um, I'll call you
after my shift, OK?
Did you know that purple's
the colour of passion?
Uh-uh. (LAUGHS)
Oh!
(SIGHS)
Um Genevieve.
Yeah.
Pants on.
(EXHALES)
On.
On
On
On.
On.
(WATER BUBBLES)
Where'd they come from?
(PILLS RATTLE)
No, no, no, no, no, no. Do it again.
Do it again so I can see.
OK.
You're trying to poison me.
I think Linda knows
I'm applying for the job.
What? How do you know?
OK.
No, that's why
she's got me specialling Genevieve.
Any chance we can swap?
Yeah, sure.
But are you sure
that Linda would do
Yeah. Yeah. Here. I'll do the meds.
You watch her.
OK.
PETE: Just wait.
Just get out of here.
You've been here for too long.
I don't need it.
Collette.
Yeah, she doesn't know what I do.
Don't let her out of your sight.
She's got no idea what I've done.
She's got no idea where I've been.
And she flat out refuses to believe
I wrote
Black Sabbath's entire first album.
PETE: Did ya? Alright, OK. Hey!
MAN: And I never got paid a cent!
Enough. Enough. Go, play
Not one cent! I'm going!
No! Go play with Paul.
Nah!
MAN: (LAUGHS)
I'm an erratic fanatic.
(LAUGHS) Very diplomatic.
(WHISPERS) That fellow there.
Yeah?
Biggest schlong
Oh!
..I've ever seen on a human.
It's massive.
Oh. Yeah, I missed that one.
If he asks you
to check out his rash, don't.
Well, whatever you do,
don't let HER anywhere near HIM.
OK.
(MAN LAUGHS)
(GASPS)
(GASPS)
What's all this?
Oh. It's for the string quartet.
RAFF: I found it
in the back of the cupboard.
It's $3,000 worth of lingerie.
(GASPS)
How'd you even find the credit card?
I don't need to check everything
with you!
Yes, you do.
We had an agreement, remember?
None of this is even in her size.
This is the red one.
Ooh.
Hey, give me the receipt
and I'll call the store
and I'll see what I can do.
(MAN LAUGHS)
MAN 2: Oh, Jesus!
Why won't you let me be
somebody I admire?
Because you don't admire it
later, babe. You regret it.
You just want to lock me up
until the end of time!
No, that's not true. Dr Achebe.
(STAMMERS)
We're keeping you here
till you're well again,
and that could be some time.
Who are you talking to, puppy man?
I'm talking to you.
Well, don't!
We have to keep you here, babe,
otherwise you turn around later
and you ask ME
why I let you do this stuff.
Days of shame for the reckless.
Yes.
KAREENA: Genevieve. Just to clarify.
So you still don't think
that any of this behaviour
indicates that you're unwell?
I saw the well with my own two eyes.
I gazed into it
..and there it was.
Love.
I am love.
KAREENA: OK.
We're gonna have to
agree to disagree on that one.
Do you want Go with her. Yep.
ROHAN: Genevieve!
GENEVIEVE: Stop following me!
Yeah, as I said, the customer
was in a hypomanic state,
so her judgement was impaired
when she made the purchase.
WOMAN: We could offer you a store
credit. Would that be of any use?
No, I don't think a store credit
would be of any use.
Excuse me.
He's got my virginity on a pedestal.
TREVOR: It's not even real.
(DEVICE BEEPS)
This must be very hard,
all of this, on you.
It's harder for her.
If you tell me that
you hate the situation you're in,
it's not gonna make you
any less caring.
This is the easy part.
Hard comes after,
when she crashes.
Look, I've ordered records
from all the hospitals
that Genevieve's been to previously,
and if we can find a pattern
in all of this,
then we've got a better chance
of preventing a relapse.
You're doing a really great job.
(SIGHS)
Some wouldn't stick around.
Well, I love her.
As simple as that.
Long as you take it back,
still wrapped, with the receipt,
you get your money refunded in full.
How did you manage that?
Yeah. Bit of arm-twisting.
I don't know what to say. Thank you.
Seriously. You're a saint.
Oh.
She's not a saint.
She is my lady-in-waiting.
Well, whatever she is,
she saved our arse.
Hey?
(SIGHS)
That man is heaven-sent.
Ask him if he's got a brother.
I did! He doesn't.
Why can't I have one of those?
You know, strong, stable, loving.
Loyal.
(SCOFFS) Loyal!
God, if you want loyalty, get a dog.
Nik. Did you drop this?
See you later this afternoon.
(KISSES)
Behave, yeah?
(PANTS)
COLLETTE: Get the sheet!
(ALARM BEEPS)
Get off me!
No, no, no, no, no, no.
You need to get the sheet.
I don't want it!
I know.
Uh Ooh! I'm an angel.
Uh, perfect. Here are your wings.
Oh, wow! I'm an angel on fire.
Oh! Uh, she needs a distraction.
Um, I could do some reiki.
How about a little footbath?
Genevieve, I hear you're
a landscape gardener by trade.
Yes. I love to trade.
What have you got to trade?
Get her dressed. Meet you outside.
OK.
Yep.
Oh.
NIK: Oh, Genevieve. Here you go.
(GENEVIEVE PANTS)
Here you go.
Now, make sure it's deep enough.
(SIGHS)
(ANIMAL GROWLS)
The lion that never sleeps.
(LION GROWLS)
Oh! Whoa.
Hang on. Um, keep digging.
Yeah? Um, just keep digging.
(INDISTINCT VOICES)
(MAN GROANS)
(MAN SNIFFS)
(SIGHS)
(SOBS)
Raff?
This is not her.
She's, um
..she's intelligent.
And creative.
She's the most
..loyal person you will ever meet.
(SNIFFS)
I can't come.
WOMAN: How long has it been?
KAREENA: Um
..close to five months.
My body just
..feels numb.
(PANTS)
WOMAN:
Have you had this problem before?
No, never, no.
Orgasms have never been
a problem for me.
APP VOICE: Two seconds behind.
KAREENA: But now
..mmm
APP VOICE: One second behind.
WOMAN: How are things with David?
(PANTS)
Fine. Yeah, fine.
Except that he thinks
that the problem's
something to do with him, so
Is it?
No.
No. Not at all.
And, look (SIGHS)
..we've tried different things
..um, but
..nothing seems to work.
I
..I can't even get there on my own.
(LAUGHS)
APP VOICE: End. End. End.
(PANTS)
(DEVICE BEEPS)
APP VOICE:
43 minutes and 25 seconds.
That is a new course record.
(DEVICE BEEPS)
KAREENA: What?
No, shit. Shit! Yes?
Oh! My app's crashed.
Was anyone hurt?
I lost my run.
I got the fucking course record.
I beat The Jaguar.
Sorry, The Jaguar?
He's this guy that I run against.
Who calls themselves The Jaguar?
Now he'll never know!
Yeah, he will. He was there.
(SIGHS)
No, I've never actually met him.
He's (SIGHS)
..we just run the same courses.
So you're racing a phantom.
There are six of us
and they're all real.
How do you know?
Because the app tracks
each person's
..progress from the beginning
of the track to the end.
Tessa Knight's
refusing to see her mother.
(DOOR SLAMS)
Just let me in!
TESSA: Fuck off!
Will you let me in?
Belle, would you like
to meet me upstairs?
Tessa, it's Dr Wells.
TESSA: Fuck off! No, fuck off!
Will you let me in?
Why won't you see your mother?
'Cause she wants me
to sign that thing.
She just wants to create
some space in the house.
Yeah, that's my livelihood
she wants to throw onto the tip.
OK - well
..all the materials you need
for your work will be kept
and everything else
She doesn't know what I need!
OK, you tell me.
What do you need?
I need her to leave my stuff alone.
Need her to leave ME alone.
And what else do you need?
I need this shit in my head to stop.
It's stopped before
and it will stop again.
OK?
Tessa.
Do you want to do some more puzzle?
Do you want
I'll come back.
If you can give me the OK verbally,
I can pass it on to your mum.
She touches any of my stuff
and I won't speak to her again.
OK.
(DOOR CLOSES)
What'd she say?
She's not prepared to
give her permission, at this stage.
I can't do this anymore.
It's very frustrating.
I understand that.
I used to want my daughter
to find a good job,
get married -
you know, all those things.
Now I just want her
to change her clothes,
maybe leave the house,
maybe talk to someone.
Instead, she lives like a
..cockroach,
under mounds of rubbish.
She's actually been doing
one of the puzzles you brought in
with one of the patients.
(SNORTS)
Oh, they must be very sick.
Tessa is not a good person.
She might not be behaving
like a good person right now
because she's very unwell,
but you might both
feel differently tomorrow.
I feel nothing for her anymore.
I'm numb.
Are you still not sleeping?
It's not still that song, is it?
Yeah.
Oh, my God. You must be going crazy.
He's got that thing where the song
goes round and round in your head.
Song stickage?
Yeah, it's an actual condition.
How'd you go with Tessa?
Uh, we're at
what you'd call a stalemate.
You tried replacing the song, yeah?
It blew out one of my speakers.
And chewing gum?
You tried chewing gum?
Until my jaw ached.
Maybe it's like hiccups.
You just need a big scare.
What are you afraid of?
Heights.
Heights.
GENEVIEVE:
Look at those dirty little eyes.
She wants it. You can tell.
Gen, you asked me to fit you in,
and I have.
I can talk to you.
I can review your medication.
It's not gonna help.
There's no cure.
KAREENA: No cure for?
For love!
There's no cure for love.
It's like trying to stop
..like, an avalanche.
I come in here sane
and I'm gonna go home
fuckin' insane.
OK, let's just put sane and insane
aside for the moment.
That's not helpful.
You've put me on an antipsychotic.
I'm not even schizophrenic.
That's not entirely true.
If you want
to talk about your medication
You can't even decide what you want.
I am very clear about it.
I want you safe.
Well, the safe needs to be
unlocked from the inside,
and that is the problem.
You just can't find the key!
Her irritability level is high,
she's sexually disinhibited
and she's not sleeping,
but if we raise
the medication level any higher,
we risk further complications.
So?
Rohan.
It's very important
for the patients and their families
that you come across
as confident and capable,
even when you're not feeling it.
They need to know that you're
in control, that you've got a plan.
Alright?
Can I suggest
maybe your body language
isn't helping?
I'm sorry?
Maintain eye contact.
Straighten your shoulders.
Be more open to them.
You've got a great voice.
Use more volume.
Try and project a sense
of what you're after.
Fake it till you make it.
If you have to, yes.
OK.
KAREENA: Restore from backup. Yes!
"You have a run"
(CHIMING)
Yes! Yes!
(SIGHS)
Yes!
(CLEARS THROAT)
I'm here!
Hi. Ah! Sorry.
(HANDBRAKE CLICKS)
Just got caught up with a patient.
All good. I'm not going nowhere.
Oh. Here I am.
(LAUGHS) OK.
(KEYS JINGLE)
Come in.
RECORDING: Alarm has been activated.
Oh, shit.
Sorry.
Please enter code to disable alarm.
Can never work this stupid thing.
(LAUGHS)
Alarm has been deactivated.
Welcome home, Kareena.
Well, I'm Kareena, obviously.
Yeah. I'm Vince.
Oh! What's that?
(LAUGHS)
(LAUGHS)
Cocaine. Rolling in the stuff.
(LAUGHS)
(LAUGHS)
Right.
(BOTH LAUGH)
Um, well, I've tried the sprays.
And I've tried those sticky things.
None of that'll work.
OK.
Cardboard boxes.
That'd be your problem.
You got any?
Cardboard? No, I don't think so.
Do you mind?
No. (LAUGHS)
Oh! See there?
Cockroach brothel right there.
What?
Box. Box.
And a box.
It's a box. (LAUGHS)
Spare wineglasses? Mmm-mmm? Mmm?
Um uh, top right cupboard.
Mmm? Oh! Hello.
Kitchen appliances
you don't use anymore?
Uh, that one.
Hello!
See, if people got rid
of their boxes, I'd be out of a job.
Hm.
Boxes. Boxes. She's a
Oh, sheesh!
You read these?
Yeah.
Chuck 'em.
Ah.
Menus.
Uh, out of date, yeah?
Yeah.
See, even these.
You'd save these on the computer,
wouldn't ya?
Y-yes. I'm not sure how
Oh!
Shooey-shooey-sha.
Big job!
How many kids you planning to have?
We're not quite sure yet. (LAUGHS)
Oh, well, you want to be sure
(PHONE RINGS)
..before you start building
the Taj bloody Mahal.
Well, we've started trying
We'll see. (LAUGHS)
Ah. Having a family.
You have one voicemail message.
Are you sure about that?
Would you like to hear it?
Yes.
OK, playing message now.
I'm just going upstairs.
Oh, no.
Stupid thing.
MAN: (ON VOICEMAIL) Hey, it's me.
Um listen, I'm
I'm not gonna make it back.
Um my flight's been cancelled.
(SIGHS)
I'm sorry, sweetheart.
I I I called the restaurant
and I let them know.
Just give me a ring when you can.
(BEEP)
It's our anniversary.
Course it is.
The only restaurant round here
that's roach-free
is the Blue Tongue, so he
might have done you both a favour.
Oh! Beer o'clock.
Yeah, I think so. Do you want one?
Ah, I'm more of a rose man.
Oh.
Alright.
I said to her, I said, "Rosa,
if I come back to this restaurant
"and find boxes again,
I won't be back."
And she swore to me
she got rid of 'em.
Mm-hm.
So, I come back.
Sure enough
No.
..they're bloody everywhere.
Hundreds of the little buggers,
crawling over the surfaces
Oh!
..pots and pans, Rubik's cube
Oh, that's disgusting.
..everywhere.
So I'm trying to work out
how the buggers got back.
So
..go underneath the stairs,
open the cupboard,
and there they were,
hundreds of boxes.
I'm, like,
"Jesus Christ, Rosa! I"
I walked right out of there,
never went back.
She straight out lied to me.
I promise
..I will not do that.
Boxes are a sin
and they're all now in the bin.
Mmm! Trick is to keep 'em there.
The sins or the boxes?
Both.
(LAUGHS)
A person like you
wouldn't commit many sins.
Oh!
I've (LAUGHS)
..I've got
absolutely no sense of direction.
Ah. That's not a sin.
That's more of a shortcoming.
I got lost and I couldn't
get to a patient in time and she
..she gave up.
Wait up.
Are you you're telling me
someone topped themselves
because you got lost?
How do you know you could have
made a difference if you got there?
See
..now, you've gone A plus B equals C
and jumped over
a whole lot of other shit
that played into a situation
you had no control over.
That kind of thinking's
a slippery slope.
You've got to eradicate
those thoughts. They're vermin.
Annihilate 'em.
And every time
they try to come back,
you got to hit 'em
with the white powder.
You know? Keep it coming, yeah?
Till there's
none of the bastards left.
MAN: "And I looked,
and behold, a pale horse!
"And its rider's name was Death,
"and Hades followed him.
"And they were given authority
over a fourth of the Earth,
"to kill with sword
"and with famine and with pestilence
"and by the wild beasts
of the Earth!"
COLLETTE:
He says I should trust him.
Mmm. Which means
you definitely should not.
What are we looking at?
Hormones gone wild.
You really do have trust issues.
You know that?
I just remember what it's like
to be a 16-year-old boy.
Don't ever have kids.
Anyway, how's
that gorgeous husband of yours?
KAREENA:
Oh, he's good. He's fine. Thanks.
Uh, I just got your message.
Tessa's mother's come back to see me?
Yeah. Yeah, yeah. She's upstairs.
I think you'd be
a really good dad, actually.
(LAUGHS)
What if I don't want her back?
Well
..Tessa's an adult, so you're not
obliged to have her live with you.
But she'd have nowhere to go.
Well, um, we'd connect her
with housing services
and we'd do our best
to find her somewhere else to live.
I lost Tessa's father over her.
Yeah. He said that if she stayed,
then he'd have to go.
Can you imagine
having to choose like that?
I'm sorry.
I stuck by her
because she's my daughter.
Of course.
Now I think
that I made the wrong choice.
Look, uh, we're working with Tessa,
but her problems are very complex and
it's just going to take some time.
That's, unfortunately
You know, look at this.
Look.
(EMOTIONALLY) I want my house back.
I want something for myself.
Of course you do. Yeah.
I mean,
you've seen how she treats me.
I don't even like her anymore.
Not at all.
But what do I do?
It's alright.
Called tapping.
KAREENA: Mmm?
Unlocks the energy flow.
What have YOU lost?
My phone.
Again?
I had it when I headed out
of my last consult. I know I did.
(DEVICE CHIMES)
KAREENA: Oh, you're kidding me!
Oh!
I'll try the common room.
Do you know if the GPS works
down in the valley?
It's always there.
What?
Energy flow.
The trick is
just being open to receiving it.
Yeah.
GENEVIEVE:
The lion that never sleeps.
Whoa! (LAUGHS) Hang on. (LAUGHS)
Keep digging. Yeah.
COLLETTE: Use this.
GENEVIEVE: Hey?
Yeah?
OK.
Yep.
COLLETTE: Nice and deep.
(PANTS)
BELLE: Now I think
that I made the wrong choice.
RAFF: I love her. As simple as that.
(PANTS)
COLLETTE: That man is heaven-sent.
VINCE: You've got to eradicate
those thoughts. They're vermin.
Don't you sometimes just want cock?
Look at those dirty little eyes.
She wants it. You can tell.
(PANTS)
The lion that never sleeps.
(PANTS)
Oh. Huh?
(PANTS)
(WATERFALL ROARS)
(MOANS)
(PANTS) Nik?
Nik!
What are you (PANTS)
You trying to scare yourself?
Um
..it's the song in my head.
It's still going, so
That's a bit
What happened to you?
I, um I I slipped over
and I got under a waterfall
to try and wash the dirt off.
So you weren't lost?
No.
Just checking.
I wasn't.
Right.
I knew exactly where I was going.
OK.
Anyway, don't fall off.

Come on, Ei ♪
Ooh! Sorry. Look.
You've got an interview.
I couldn't help it, sorry.
I saw the email from admin.
It's 10am on Thursday.
Shit!
Already?
Um just keep it quiet. Yeah?
Yeah.
You know,
if I don't get some real sleep,
I won't have a chance.
Are you still not sleeping?
It's not that song
still stuck in your head, is it?
Yeah.
Oh, my God.
You must be going crazy.
He's got that thing where the song
goes round and round in your head.
KAREENA: Song stickage?
Yeah. It's an actual condition.
Maybe it's like hiccups.
You just need a big scare.
What are you afraid of?
KAREENA: Heights.
Heights.
So, Omar
..what are YOU afraid of?
We could get that whole section
finished by tomorrow
if we target that area.
If you ever wake me before 12 noon,
you're a dead man.
Alright.
Doesn't look easy.
We need a piece with orange flecks.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
Hey, hey, hey!

Out here. Out here.
Come on. That's it. Let's go. OK?
MAN: (ON TV) ..315.
I can't talk right now.
I'm specialling a patient.
I'll call you after my shift,
OK? Yep? Alright.
GENEVIEVE: Did you know
that purple's the colour of passion?
(SIGHS)
It's close to dinnertime.
You want me to take you over
to get something to eat?
Didn't I ask you
to special Genevieve?
You did,
but I asked Collette to take over.
Figured it was more appropriate.
It's not really your place to do so
without my permission.
I was just being careful.
You can never be TOO careful, right?
Nik, you're a gifted nurse.
But you're not management material.
You and I need to work as a team.
Do you understand that?
Yeah.
Good.
Have you seen your sister lately?
Oh, she's she's on the rampage
about this wedding.
Yeah, I got that.
(LAUGHS) Not a happy camper.
Where's this pain you mentioned?
Yeah.
It moves around. You know, sometimes
it's here, sometimes there.
Can you be a bit more specific?
I think
maybe it's existential in nature.
My soul is troubled, Nik.
By?
Being alone.
OK. That can change.
(LAUGHS) When?
I'm not a genie, Dad.
I can't just conjure
someone for you out of nowhere.
You said with men my age
kicking the bucket
and all these lonely ladies
looking for a partner
that I would be a great catch.
Yep. OK. Yeah, sure. I did say that.
That's exactly what you said.
So, how do I meet these ladies?
(SIGHS)
I'll send you some links.
Links?
To what, a chain? I don't
To dating websites
(GROANS)
..where you can introduce yourself.
Nik, I need a woman, not a website.
You have to go onto the website
to make contact.
Alright. Alright, alright.
But, then, we will do it together.
Not now, Dad.
I'm dog-tired. I need to sleep.
You take your rosewater, yes?
Yep.
Mmm.
And you're sleeping
with your feet to the south?
Well, right now,
my bed's around the other way, so
Turn your body around, son.
Honestly!

KAREENA: Nik!
(PANTS)
What are you
Are you trying to scare yourself?
Uh, it's the song in my head.
It's still going, so
"How well do the following words
describe you?
"Clever."
Yes. Uh, put 'very'.
"Pick a number between zero and six,
"zero being not at all, three being
somewhat and six being very well."
This is why it's easier if you do it.
No, no, no, no.
I'll answer the questions.
You do the clicking.
So, what is it?
Six out of six.
Full marks!
"Witty."
Of course, very. Put another six.
I'm very good at this, no?
"Outdoorsy."
Very much so. I'm a birdwatcher.
(LAUGHS) Um
..don't put that
on your profile, yep.
(SIGHS)
"Sensual."
Oh!
Now, that is
a very interesting question.
It depends very much on whether one
has someone to be sensual with, no?
That was one of the first things
that attracted your mother to me.
She used to say the slightest touch
from me would make her aroused.
Can you just pick a number, alright?
I am simply
considering the question.
Why are you so irritable today?
Because I've gotta get some sleep.
I can barely function at work.
Plus I have a job interview tomorrow.
Oh! Job interview? Where?
At that funny farm?
I asked you not to call it that,
but yeah.
Yeah, it's for a promotion.
Uh, as what?
As head of the unit I'm in.
Oh! What happened
to the great underachiever?
(SIGHS) Nikhil!
Deny your potential
and it will destroy you.
Dad, look,
can we do this another time?
See, now, all this is looking good.
Thank you.
Hey.
Oh, hey. Oh.
Um has James asked
for his phone yet?
No! He's been up half the night
on that puzzle. I think he's hooked.
Oh, you should go.
I'll take over here.
OK. Good luck.
Oh. Thanks.
Oh, hi. Hey, how did you go?
Did it work?
What?
Scaring yourself.
Did you get rid of the song?
Oh.
Yep. All good.
Great.
Thanks for asking.
Yeah.
WOMAN:
So, Nik, thanks for coming in.
You've been at Wakefield now
for two years.
And you had to relocate
from the city. How's that been?
Fine. Great.
Um my father lives up here,
and my sister's not far away, so
Yeah, no,
I'm really looking forward to it.
Yep. No, no, no, no.
No problem, mate.
No problems at all. Of course.
Yes. (LAUGHS)
Yep.
Yeah. No, well,
I'll see you see you soon.
And I see here you've completed
five out of six years
of a medical degree.
Correct.
Do you mind me asking
why you switched to nursing?
I wanted to be in psych,
but I decided I could work with
patients more directly as a nurse.
Besides, um
..most shrinks are certifiable,
right? (LAUGHS)
Oh, well, one of them has given you
a very impressive recommendation.
Dr Kareena Wells.
Refers to you as
"highly intuitive, steady
"and, quite frankly,
over-qualified".
Someone is gonna die!
(DEVICE BEEPS)
Sorry.
(DEVICE BUZZES)
As you know,
the nursing unit manager
is vital to the success
or the failure of a ward.
The, uh the NUM is the linchpin,
the beating heart of the unit.
(DEVICE BUZZES)
You seem to be very popular today.
Um
..actually, the
there's a problem on the ward.
Right.
Um I think I'm gonna have to go.
I'm sorry.
Who the fuck was it?!
OK, Tess, breathe with me.
Don't tell me to breathe!
In and out.
What happened?
Someone wiped the puzzle.
(TESSA GROWLS)
It wasn't me! I swear!
Who was it?
Leave my book. Please be gentle!
(GROWLS)
It could have been a newcomer.
Yeah.
Right, you get her out.
I'll deal with it.
This flies in the face
of puzzle etiquette.
We're gonna go back to your room.
JAMES: No, no, guys.
We can sort this out. Alright?
I can get 50 blokes here
in 30 minutes like that!
No lynch mobs, thanks.
Nine hours we spent on that puzzle!
Each, right?
And we only had a section this big
to go.
Well, probably this big. I did
a couple of hours on it last night.
I wanted to get it done
before I left.
What?
But you would have nailed
the rest of it tonight for sure.
I'm leaving today.
NIK: Says who?
Dr Achebe.
TREVOR: It was her!
She did it!
Please.
(GROWLS) Did you wipe the puzzle?
PETE: Get out of it!
WOMAN: She said I could!
Who? Who said you could?
She did! Linda did!
Jade!
I wanted to do the kitten one
and I needed the board.
She said you'd finished.
You know that's not true.
(ROARS)
No! No, Tessa!
Ah!
Oh!
Hey.
(GROANS)
(GROANS)
Put that there, otherwise
it looks like YOU upset the patient.
Filled out your incident report?
Yep. All done.
Don't try to speak.
You'll be on sick leave for a while.
Actually, he's just bruised his
But I've rearranged
..jaw, hasn't broken it.
..all the rosters, which is fine.
No problem at all.
Let's just hope
for a speedy recovery.
Oh, but I, uh
..I did have to report
the use of undue force on a patient.
You were only defending me,
for goodness sake, so
..of course,
you'll have my full support.
Tessa sprained her shoulder.
I don't think
that's necessary, Linda.
Just a formality, but, as we know,

I am your doctor,

You're not. Look at you.
You can't even walk in your shoes

She's Rohan's patient.
Yeah, but he's scared of her.
He's not scared of her!
Yeah, he is.
He's scared of all of his patients
and shit at his job.
Excuse me!
He's done a 6-year medical degree
plus three years of psychiatry.
Doesn't mean
he knows what he's doing.
He's just he's young.
He's trying to find his feet.
He's tone-deaf.
What do you mean?
Look, he doesn't have it.
At least review her meds.
Otherwise she'll eat him
for breakfast.
Don't you sometimes just want cock?

I could, um

It's
..she gets this
..intensity, this
..energy surge, it creeps up,
and and before you know it,
she's on fire,
hungry for everything.
Except sleep.
Except sleep.
But, man, the sex.
She wants it morning,
noon and night, and then more.
I mean, it's
what guy doesn't want that, right?
It's like when you eat
really rich chocolate
and you know you should stop,
but you can't.
TESSA:
Fucking do something about it!
So, what else she hungry for?
Besides sex.
Music.
Mm-hm.
She plays lots of music very loud.
Eating.

She's a landscape gardener.

No, that's not true. Dr Achebe.

We're keeping you here

and that could be some time.
Who are you talking to, puppy man?
I'm talking to you.
Well, don't!
We have to keep you here, babe,
otherwise you turn around later
and you ask ME
why I let you do this stuff.
Days of shame for the reckless.
Yes.
KAREENA: Genevieve. Just to clarify.
So you still don't think
that any of this behaviour
indicates that you're unwell?
I saw the well with my own two eyes.
I gazed into it

I am love.

We're gonna have to
agree to disagree on that one.
Do you want Go with her. Yep.
ROHAN: Genevieve!
GENEVIEVE: Stop following me!
Yeah, as I said, the customer
was in a hypomanic state,
so her judgement was impaired
when she made the purchase.

credit. Would that be of any use?
No, I don't think a store credit
would be of any use.

It's harder for her.

you hate the situation you're in,
it's not gonna make you
any less caring.
This is the easy part.
Hard comes after,
when she crashes.
Look, I've ordered records
from all the hospitals
that Genevieve's been to previously,
and if we can find a pattern
in all of this,
then we've got a better chance
of preventing a relapse.
You're doing a really great job.
(SIGHS)
Some wouldn't stick around.
Well, I love her.
As simple as that.

If you can give me the OK verbally,
I can pass it on to your mum.
She touches any of my stuff
and I won't speak to her again.
OK.
(DOOR CLOSES)
What'd she say?
She's not prepared to
give her permission, at this stage.
I can't do this anymore.
It's very frustrating.
I understand that.
I used to want my daughter
to find a good job,
get married -
you know, all those things.
Now I just want her
to change her clothes,
maybe leave the house,
maybe talk to someone.
Instead, she lives like a
..cockroach,
under mounds of rubbish.
She's actually been doing
one of the puzzles you brought in
with one of the patients.
(SNORTS)
Oh, they must be very sick.
Tessa is not a good person.
She might not be behaving
like a good person right now
because she's very unwell,
but you might both
feel differently tomorrow.
I feel nothing for her anymore.
I'm numb.
Are you still not sleeping?
It's not still that song, is it?
Yeah.
Oh, my God. You must be going crazy.
He's got that thing where the song
goes round and round in your head.
Song stickage?
Yeah, it's an actual condition.
How'd you go with Tessa?
Uh, we're at
what you'd call a stalemate.
You tried replacing the song, yeah?
It blew out one of my speakers.
And chewing gum?
You tried chewing gum?
Until my jaw ached.
Maybe it's like hiccups.
You just need a big scare.
What are you afraid of?
Heights.
Heights.
GENEVIEVE:
Look at those dirty little eyes.
She wants it. You can tell.
Gen, you asked me to fit you in,
and I have.
I can talk to you.
I can review your medication.
It's not gonna help.
There's no cure.
KAREENA: No cure for?
For love!
There's no cure for love.
It's like trying to stop
..like, an avalanche.
I come in here sane
and I'm gonna go home
fuckin' insane.
OK, let's just put sane and insane
aside for the moment.
That's not helpful.
You've put me on an antipsychotic.
I'm not even schizophrenic.
That's not entirely true.
If you want
to talk about your medication
You can't even decide what you want.
I am very clear about it.
I want you safe.
Well, the safe needs to be
unlocked from the inside,
and that is the problem.
You just can't find the key!
Her irritability level is high,
she's sexually disinhibited
and she's not sleeping,
but if we raise
the medication level any higher,
we risk further complications.
So?
Rohan.
It's very important
for the patients and their families
that you come across
as confident and capable,
even when you're not feeling it.
They need to know that you're
in control, that you've got a plan.
Alright?
Can I suggest
maybe your body language
isn't helping?
I'm sorry?
Maintain eye contact.
Straighten your shoulders.
Be more open to them.
You've got a great voice.
Use more volume.
Try and project a sense
of what you're after.
Fake it till you make it.
If you have to, yes.
OK.

Yes.
OK, playing message now.

Oh, no.

MAN: (ON VOICEMAIL) Hey, it's me.
Um listen, I'm
I'm not gonna make it back.
Um my flight's been cancelled.
(SIGHS)
I'm sorry, sweetheart.
I I I called the restaurant
and I let them know.
Just give me a ring when you can.
(BEEP)
It's our anniversary.
Course it is.
The only restaurant round here
that's roach-free
is the Blue Tongue, so he
might have done you both a favour.
Oh! Beer o'clock.
Yeah, I think so. Do you want one?
Ah, I'm more of a rose man.
Oh.
Alright.
I said to her, I said, "Rosa,
if I come back to this restaurant
"and find boxes again,
I won't be back."
And she swore to me
she got rid of 'em.
Mm-hm.
So, I come back.
Sure enough
No.
..they're bloody everywhere.
Hundreds of the little buggers,
crawling over the surfaces
Oh!
..pots and pans, Rubik's cube
Oh, that's disgusting.
..everywhere.
So I'm trying to work out
how the buggers got back.
So
..go underneath the stairs,
open the cupboard,
and there they were,
hundreds of boxes.
I'm, like,
"Jesus Christ, Rosa! I"
I walked right out of there,
never went back.
She straight out lied to me.
I promise
..I will not do that.
Boxes are a sin
and they're all now in the bin.
Mmm! Trick is to keep 'em there.
The sins or the boxes?
Both.
(LAUGHS)
A person like you
wouldn't commit many sins.
Oh!
I've (LAUGHS)
..I've got
absolutely no sense of direction.
Ah. That's not a sin.
That's more of a shortcoming.
I got lost and I couldn't
get to a patient in time and she
..she gave up.
Wait up.
Are you you're telling me
someone topped themselves
because you got lost?
How do you know you could have
made a difference if you got there?
See
..now, you've gone A plus B equals C
and jumped over
a whole lot of other shit
that played into a situation
you had no control over.
That kind of thinking's
a slippery slope.
You've got to eradicate
those thoughts. They're vermin.
Annihilate 'em.
And every time
they try to come back,
you got to hit 'em
with the white powder.
You know? Keep it coming, yeah?
Till there's
none of the bastards left.

"and by the wild beasts

COLLETTE:
He says I should trust him.
Mmm. Which means
you definitely should not.
What are we looking at?
Hormones gone wild.
You really do have trust issues.
You know that?
I just remember what it's like
to be a 16-year-old boy.
Don't ever have kids.
Anyway, how's
that gorgeous husband of yours?
KAREENA:
Oh, he's good. He's fine. Thanks.
Uh, I just got your message.
Tessa's mother's come back to see me?
Yeah. Yeah, yeah. She's upstairs.
I think you'd be
a really good dad, actually.
(LAUGHS)
What if I don't want her back?
Well
..Tessa's an adult, so you're not
obliged to have her live with you.
But she'd have nowhere to go.
Well, um, we'd connect her
with housing services
and we'd do our best
to find her somewhere else to live.
I lost Tessa's father over her.
Yeah. He said that if she stayed,
then he'd have to go.
Can you imagine
having to choose like that?
I'm sorry.
I stuck by her
because she's my daughter.
Of course.
Now I think
that I made the wrong choice.
Look, uh, we're working with Tessa,
but her problems are very complex and
it's just going to take some time.
That's, unfortunately
You know, look at this.
Look.
(EMOTIONALLY) I want my house back.
I want something for myself.
Of course you do. Yeah.
I mean,
you've seen how she treats me.
I don't even like her anymore.
Not at all.
But what do I do?
It's alright.
Called tapping.
KAREENA: Mmm?

What have YOU lost?
My phone.

I had it when I headed out

Six out of six.

"Witty."
Of course, very. Put another six.

Very much so. I'm a birdwatcher.

"Sensual."
Oh!
Now, that is
a very interesting question.
It depends very much on whether one
has someone to be sensual with, no?
That was one of the first things
that attracted your mother to me.
She used to say the slightest touch
from me would make her aroused.
Can you just pick a number, alright?
I am simply
considering the question.
Why are you so irritable today?
Because I've gotta get some sleep.
I can barely function at work.

Yeah, no,
I'm really looking forward to it.
Yep. No, no, no, no.
No problem, mate.
No problems at all. Of course.
Yes. (LAUGHS)
Yep.
Yeah. No, well,
I'll see you see you soon.
And I see here you've completed
five out of six years
of a medical degree.
Correct.
Do you mind me asking
why you switched to nursing?
I wanted to be in psych,
but I decided I could work with
patients more directly as a nurse.
Besides, um
..most shrinks are certifiable,
right? (LAUGHS)
