SHOWER RUNS
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 killed 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 fucked me in our living room, after the ball,,,
,,while you were sleeping next to us,
You mean you fucked 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 anaesthetic to
a patient with cardiac issues like your father's,
It would almost certainly kill 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 killed 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,
Fuck's sake,
Oh, shit, 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, shit, 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 fucking 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 apetit,
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,

ECHOING: You've done something to me, Kasia,
I've done something to you?

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

Just do it,
