All Saints (1998) s01e29 Episode Script

1
Previously on All Saints -
Argh! Jeez!
The idiots.
It's alright - just a cut. I've got
sterile strips in the bathroom.
I'm not crying
because I lost the baby.
I never wanted it.
Did I make it happen?
No, of course you didn't.
(moaning)
Jesus! Angie.
Oh, my God.
What have you done?
Connor!
The tests indicate a type
of pneumonia called PCP.
We'd like you to have a HIV test.
We'd like you to have a HIV test.
Are you trying to tell me
I've got AIDS?
Are you trying to tell me
I've got AIDS?
(sobs)
Leave it, mate.
Oh, Angie!
I'm going to beat this bastard,
Bronnie.
SIREN WAILS
BEN: I'll take the driver.
MAN: Em, speak to me.
Emma!
Let's keep everyone back, thanks.
(sobs) Emma!
Em, Em, speak to me.
It's okay, mate.
It's okay, we're with you now.
Aaargh.
Look at me.
Is she alive?
Look at me.
My name's Ben, okay?
I'm going to take
your blood pressure.
She's not moving.
What did you say your name was?
Adam. Why can't she talk to me?
Okay, Adam. You may have
some internal bleeding.
We'll set you up on fluids.
How are you going?
10 milligrams of morphine.
Where are they taking her?
Wherever she can get the best help.
She'll go to the same place as me?
I don't know about that.
We'll have to wait and see.
Emma!
Emma!!
I thought you'd be taking
some more time off.
Why would I?
Don't be too long with that.
Your wife's in intensive care.
That's all I know.
But how long will she be there?
That depends on her condition.
She won't know I'm here.
She'll want to know I'm alright.
Good morning, Sister.
I'm Richard Craig.
We had quite a session last night.
Did you operate on my wife, too?
No, but I did manage
to save one of your lungs.
You're a lucky man.
You examined him?
Yes, sir.
His resps are up, sats down a bit.
There's decreased air entry
on the right.
Hmm. Probably some consolidation.
Order a chest X-ray. Let me know.
When can I get up?
All in good time, all in good time.
Adam is keen to see his wife -
Emma Bennett.
Adam is keen to see his wife -
Emma Bennett.
I think she's one of Mr Madsen's.
I think she's one of Mr Madsen's.
Madsen is a very capable surgeon.
You're in good hands.
I'd like him
to have some chest physio.
I don't want him out of bed
for 24 hours.
Any change -
let me know immediately.
Don't you worry, Adam.
You're in very good hands.
Can't you take me to see her?
I can have a word to the registrar.
I can have a word to the registrar.
How does that sound?
How does that sound?
Okay, Connor, you've got
Mr McLoughlin in room one.
He should have a male nurse.
As long as he doesn't expect
any TLC.
If you have a problem with this,
I'll do it myself.
I'll treat him like
any other patient.
Yeah, we get a lot of convicted
rapists here at All Saints.
The other prisoners smashed
his face in with a chair.
The warders didn't lift a finger.
They had to wire up his jaw.
Then they wired up the wrong part
of his anatomy, if you ask me.
Von, I'm with you.
Bottomless coffee, was it?
Sorry I'm late, Terri.
It's okay. You've got
rooms four, seven and 12.
Great.
I'll be in four.
Don't forget,
Mr McLoughlin has wire cutters.
They would make
a really mean weapon.
Don't worry about it.
The guard has them.
Wire cutters?
Yeah. His jaw's wired.
So if he vomits, unless you cut
the wires he can choke.
Of course, in his case you'd be
tempted to leave them wired shut
and let the bastard suffer.
Mr McLoughlin, is it?
Mac.
Um, gidday, I'm Connor Costello.
I'll be looking after you.
This way.
Terri.
Mmm-hmm?
Could I have a quick word with you?
In private.
Yeah, sure.
Angie's autopsy results
should be back this afternoon.
Do you mind if I pop down later
and get them?
No, of course not.
Are they checking for HIV?
Yeah.
They've got me on a preventative
cocktail - just in case.
10 pills a day for three months.
By that stage they should know
for certain whether I've got it.
She tested negative
last time she was in, didn't she?
Yeah, except her life went from
bad to worse after that.
That doesn't mean she got it.
We'll see.
You sure you're up to it?
Yeah. Well, you know,
might as well keep active.
Keep my mind off it, you know.
Terri, you won't tell anyone,
will you?
Of course not.
Thanks.
No point making a fuss, is there?
For the pain.
I don't bite, you know.
I can't.
This is my first time out
in 10 years.
Oh, yeah? Bit of a shock, is it?
It's a trial run.
Yeah? You going to
get bashed up again, are you?
Parole, in three months.
God willing.
Yeah, I'm sure God's going to
have a lot to do with it.
How is he?
Pretty tame at the moment.
Hi. I'm Terri Sullivan,
the nursing unit manager.
The prison chaplain told me
to keep an eye out for you.
You're quite a favourite of his.
How do you know Father Eugene?
You'd be surprised
what a small world the church is.
A nun?
You're too pretty to be a nun.
Anyone tell you that?
Yeah.
If you need anything,
ring the buzzer.
God bless you, Sister.
I can't believe the parole board's
fallen for that born-again crap.
It's the oldest scam in the book.
How do you know he's not sincere?
Jared, the bloke's a scumbag.
That doesn't mean he can't find God.
Never mind God.
I can't find Mr Theophonous.
You did collect him
from the bathroom, didn't you?
Oh, damn.
I don't care what he believes in.
He gives me the freaks.
Jaz, with the guard outside
you don't have to worry.
Terri, don't you think that
God squad stuff is a bit convenient?
We're here to nurse him,
not judge him.
Prison ideally should reform
and rehabilitate.
Prison ideally should reform
and rehabilitate.
That doesn't change what he's done.
That doesn't change what he's done.
PHONE RINGS
Go on, love, you can bugger off now.
I can find my way from here.
And let you go down the TAB
like you did last time? No way.
I wouldn't dare,
not with you rounding me up.
(coughs)
Bob, you should have kept
your appointments. Listen to you.
Look, I don't need a fancy AIDS
doctor to tell me I've got a cough.
If your T-cells are down,
they can help you.
Bronnie, give it a break, darl.
It's boring.
Anyway, that rust bucket of yours
is a bigger hazard than any virus.
You ought to hit your old man
for a new one.
He can afford it.
Oh, yeah!
Steph, any news on Emma Bennett?
None.
Poor guy. It'd be so much simpler
if we could wheel him up to see her.
I'd suggest it to the Prof
but I doubt he'd go for it.
Some friend you are.
Jaz, is the sticky label book
around?
Yeah.
Just remember what happened to the
last one who didn't bring it back.
Yeah, whatever.
Poor guy, he's so cut about Angie.
Did he really pay for the funeral?
Paid for the funeral, cemetery,
death notices. The whole shebang.
Would've cost a packet.
More bloody dollars than sense.
Don't tell me. It's Jaz, isn't it?
Yeah, good memory.
Haven't seen you in ages.
I've been doing nights.
Yeah I never forget a name.
No, neither do I
..Danny.
I'm impressed.
So, they want a few snapshots
of Adam Bennett.
Yeah. He's in room two.
I'll show you where it is.
Yeah, it's easy to get lost.
Big place, you know.
I'll take you to the shower later.
Connor's a bit tied up.
Bought you some fresh juice.
Fresh from the bottle, that is.
Thanks.
And I told Father Eugene
you were on my ward.
He sends his best wishes.
Yeah, he's a good bloke.
He's the only one out there
who believes in me.
Weren't some of
the other inmates religious?
Most blokes play those cards
pretty close to their chest.
Makes life easier.
A lot of people hide their faith
in the outside world, too.
It can take a lot of courage
to show that.
Doesn't do much good
for your health, that's for sure.
(laughs)
Well you try changing, but they
just want to beat it out of you.
They always think
you're spinning them one.
Like that bloke you got nursin' me.
You mean Connor?
But you're different, aren't you?
Need a hand?
Great, yeah.
Let me know if this hurts.
It's okay.
What did the doctor say?
Mr Madsen's still operating.
You said you'd speak to him!
Yeah, I will. Trust me.
Sorry.
Emma always says I'm impatient.
I've got a break coming up.
I'll pop over to ICU and see her.
Could you? That'd be brilliant.
You're okay?
Okay.
It's okay, it's alright.
There's no rush.
I'll let you do the bottom.
Are you alright?
Are you okay?
A bit dizzy.
Do you want to go back to your room?
No, no, no, no, no, no.
It's a long time since I've had
a shower on my own.
There should be
a chair for you in here.
I'll go get one.
If you need anything, you just buzz.
You alright?
Yeah. Thanks.
Okay.
It's so sad.
A young English couple
It wasn't an MVA, was it?
We had some Pom yesterday.
Couldn't stop
talking about his wife.
Adam Bennett?
That's him.
He'd be pretty heavy going.
A lot of lifting.
I guess so.
It's his wife who's in big trouble.
Why do you keep taking
difficult patients?
Why do you keep taking
difficult patients?
You're still recovering.
I'm not an invalid.
You're still recovering.
I'm not an invalid.
You went through a lot.
It was an ectopic pregnancy.
Hardly major surgery.
Still, Terri should be giving you
something easier to do.
I'll talk to her.
Ben, stop worrying.
I'm fine, really.
Fully recovered.
Okay.
Has he started?
Yeah.
Do you want a hand?
No, I'm fine.
Thanks.
Your chair, Mac.
(groaning)
Are you alright?
Are you okay?
(groans)
It's alright, it's okay.
(stifled groans)
It's alright, it's alright.
(calls) Get in here.
He can't breathe.
Give me the wire cutters.
Give them to me.
Open your mouth for me,
open your mouth for me.
(long shout)
The surgeon will be here soon.
He'll need to re-wire your jaw.
I'm sorry.
You shouldn't have
been in there alone.
Did you get the painkillers?
There, sip that for the pain.
Connor will look after you
until your surgeon gets here.
Terri
..you sure you're okay?
Fine.
Sister Sullivan,
is there anything we can get you?
No, I'm fine.
I could have calmed him down
without cutting the wires.
It was a stupid thing to do.
Seems reasonable
under the circumstances.
I don't think his surgeon
will be happy.
That animal ought to be charged.
Having a panic attack
is not a crime, Connor.
Maybe he just wanted us to think
he was having a panic attack.
I mean, what if that guard
hadn't gone in?
Ticket and rations.
We're going to need 'em.
60!
They're only up to 15.
(dry) Make yourself comfortable.
I'm just going, actually.
You sure?
Can't get rid of him quick enough.
Charming, isn't he?
I'll see you tonight.
Give us a call when you get home.
Thanks.
You'd think they'd have
a telly or something.
A man'd go crazy
sitting around here.
How about some beauty tips?
Forgot my bloody form guide.
25 sex tips to blow him away.
You have it. I've read this.
Oh, struth.
I'm waiting outside.
Would you mind these seats for me?
Don't you start.
What difference
does a few more make, eh?
Exactly.
A dying man's allowed to have
a few pleasures in life.
Come on, it's freezing out here.
Let's go back inside.
I'm not going back in there
with those freaks.
I don't want people thinking
I'm one of them.
One of "them"?
Come on, you're all here
for the same reason.
Come on, you're all here
for the same reason.
Look, I've spent 50 years
avoiding people
Look, I've spent 50 years
avoiding people like that.
They'd say the same thing about you.
I don't give a rat's arse
what they say! I'm normal.
I didn't ask to get this disease.
Oh, do you think they did? Come on.
Where can a man
get a paper around here?
I spoke to Mr Madsen's registrar.
Yeah, but did you see Emma?
Yes, I saw her.
Um
And?
Emma's in a coma.
She has severe head injuries.
What does that mean?
The next few days will be tough.
The registrar will be down later
to give you a full rundown.
As soon as Professor Craig gives
the okay, we'll take you to see her.
We're supposed to be
in Cairns by now.
Lying on a beach.
Things couldn't have turned out
more differently, could they?
I wish there was more I could do.
I'm really sorry.
It's not your fault.
You weren't the one driving.
Yeah. I'm sorry about all this
but the wire's completely separated.
There's nothing
holding your jaw together.
You look rather endearing.
I assure you,
it's a temporary measure
until you're back in theatre.
Most unfortunate occurrence.
Highly inconvenient.
For all concerned, I'm sure.
I fully documented the incident.
Mmm, yes. Paperwork.
Always paperwork.
I realise it doesn't happen often.
Panic attack, you say?
Panic attack, you say?
Yes, I thought so.
Yes, I thought so.
My instinct was to cut the wires.
Instinct?
Really?
That's most interesting.
Hey.
The personal touch.
As it should be.
Hey, you're not due for lunch
any time soon, are you?
No. Why?
Oh it's nothing. It's cool.
See you later.
Bye.
Jasmina, I thought you liked him.
Maybe.
Was he hitting on me?
Oh, Connor! You've got to tell me.
Yes, okay. Thank you very much.
I have a cancellation
later this morning.
Perhaps your "instinct" might be to
prepare Mr McLoughlin for surgery.
Oops.
Excuse me.
No problem.
He wasn't too hard on you.
He thinks I'm an idiot.
(moans softly)
Adam?
Have you been using your PCA?
Press it whenever you feel like it.
There's no need for any pain.
Give you a sponge bath later,
if you like.
Do you know that saying, "Never
let the sun set on an argument"?
We were fighting before the crash.
I was angry with her because
she missed some stupid turn-off.
I grabbed the map off her and that's
when I took my eyes off the road.
It was an accident.
Could've happened to anyone.
Yeah, but it didn't.
It happened to Em.
Would you give this to her?
She loves this photo.
Your X-rays look very promising.
Our piece of handiwork
is holding up very nicely.
What's the matter, Mr Bennett?
The nurses being horrible to you?
Adam's very worried about his wife.
Emma Bennett.
I've seen Madsen.
Your wife's doing fine.
Great. Can I see her?
Maybe tomorrow.
If she's alright
Look, the important thing is
that you keep quiet and still
Look, the important thing is
that you keep quiet and still
and give your injuries
a chan
and give your injuries
a chance to heal.
You're not out of the woods yet.
With respect, Professor, I was
Are you totally deaf?
We'll revisit this issue tomorrow
and not before.
Not your problem.
If I want a nursing opinion,
I'll ask for it.
I will not be undermined
in front of my patients.
Professor Craig.
I'm sure Sister Markham
wasn't trying to undermine you.
I just thought Mr Madsen
could help set Adam's mind at rest.
I very much doubt it.
Emma Bennett died 20 minutes ago.
Why didn't ICU call us?
I told them not to.
Adam has had major surgery.
The shock could endanger him.
Surely, in these
Sister, were you present in surgery?
No, I thought not.
Some doctors may be happy
to lose their patients.
I'm not.
Under no circumstances
is he to be told.
It's not your decision, Steph.
No, I just do the dirty work.
No, I just do the dirty work.
Adam has a right to know.
Adam has a right to know.
But if the Prof says no
for medical reasons
Surgeons! You think medicine
begins and ends in theatre.
Give me a break.
Alright, you talk to him.
Tell him he is wrong.
What makes you think
he'd listen to me?
At least you're the right breed.
Steph, Craig has been around
patients for a long time.
Maybe he's dealt with this before.
We've all had experience
with grieving patients.
I've held their hands,
wiped their tears.
My experience counts for nothing,
does it?
You left your happy face outside,
Bob.
This should make you feel better.
Sorry it took so long.
The other patients giving you grief?
We're just short staffed.
But you did pass on my message?
Yep.
Ah I need to undo your gown.
The photo? Did you give it to her?
Uh-huh.
Now, tell me if this is warm enough.
She's still in a coma, isn't she?
When did they say
she might come out of it?
Well, no-one can really say
at this stage.
I heard that when you're in a coma
you can still hear.
That's what some people believe.
So she would have heard,
even if she didn't respond?
Got a special bond, Emma and I.
It's like we're two parts
of the one person.
You're a lucky man.
Yes, sure am.
This whole trip was Emma's idea.
She wanted us to have
this big adventure
before we settled down
and had a family.
Have you got kids?
No, not yet.
This water is a bit cold, isn't it?
I'll be back in a minute.
I've had to do some awful things
as a nurse but that takes the cake.
Ask Terri if you can swap patients.
Pass the buck - that'd be nice.
If you want a break,
I can do your next obs.
Is that before
you change the linen in 12
or after you've taken
Mrs Murray to dialysis?
Or after you've taken
Mrs Murray to dialysis?
It's okay, Jared. I'm fine. Thanks.
It's okay, Jared. I'm fine. Thanks.
You're so hard on him.
He's just getting over Angie.
You worry about your MVA.
I'll look after Nurse Levine.
I tried to contact Professor Craig
but he's not answering his pager.
That'd be right.
I suggested that Peter
might talk to him.
You don't have to.
It's not your problem.
It is if I have to
pick up the pieces.
Peter isn't going to make
any difference.
Richard Craig will do what he wants.
I still think we should tell Adam.
MAC: Sister.
Good luck.
If I see Danny, any message?
Very funny.
PETER: I wonder if he gave
as good as he got.
Can I come in?
Yeah, sure.
It's been a tough morning.
So I hear.
And a little bit frightening,
from the sound of it.
The patient had a panic attack.
It's nothing new.
Yes, but this isn't
any old patient, is it?
Mac may have a record. It doesn't
mean everything he does is evil.
No, it doesn't.
But it might explain
why you're upset.
I'm not upset.
Oh, come on, Terri.
You wouldn't be human
if you weren't scared.
The guy is twice your size.
Why were you there
in the first place?
Okay, I was scared
when he grabbed me, alright?
And?
And I doubted him, and he knows it.
Well, that's something
he'll have to get used to.
He doesn't need that lesson
to come from me.
I was trying to show I was more
tolerant than everyone else.
And what you showed was
that you are a human being.
Well, hallelujah for that.
This is a good way to spend my RDO
- being ignored by you.
Well, I didn't ask you to come.
At least give me a tip
for my trouble.
Um
What A Lad in the fifth.
Parkin's pick of the day.
Don't believe it.
The smart money is on Silvertail.
Follow the form, do you?
Not really.
Paul's brother's a strapper
at Randwick.
Don't ask me how he knows,
but he sure picks them alright.
I reckon it's all rigged.
Paul's your partner,
the guy that was here before?
Cute, isn't he?
And he's got a brother?
Number 51.
(coughs weakly)
AMBO: Right, I'm out of here.
See you.
John.
Hi, Steph.
I'm about to do something
that might lose me my job.
What happened?
Your MVA - the English guy.
His wife died a few hours ago.
I'm not allowed to tell him.
Except I'm going to.
He has a right to know.
Richard Craig doesn't think so.
Am I doing the right thing?
You're an honest person.
You do what you think is right.
That's the other thing.
I haven't been as honest
as I should be with you.
That pregnancy.
What about it?
Um I wasn't sad to lose the baby.
Well, I was, sort of.
Mostly I was relieved.
Maybe the hormones would have
kicked in later, I don't know.
I was just never
comfortable with the idea.
And that's not what I told you.
No. It wasn't.
I know how much the pregnancy
meant to you.
I thought I'd get over it,
but I haven't.
And telling me
makes it easier for you?
Does it?
I wanted that baby, Steph.
I really wanted it.
It's not going to help
Adam's recovery
once he finds out you lied to him.
No-one's lying to him.
Come on, Richard,
I've seen it before.
Withholding this sort of
information isn't good.
You can't treat the body
and neglect the mind.
Both are connected.
Well, I'm glad
you got that off your chest.
If the patient receives counselling,
telling him the truth
can hasten recovery.
Assuming he recovers
in the first place.
Assuming he recovers
in the first place.
You let him out of ICU.
You must be confident.
You let him out of ICU.
You must be confident.
Confident, yes, but not complacent.
There is a difference.
Now you are being complacent
about his psychological welfare.
If the patient
doesn't get a chance to
Oh, Morrison, please, spare me the
lecture on post-traumatic stress.
My patient is in
a serious physical condition.
It's my job to make him stable.
Perhaps I can put it another way.
Mind your own bloody business.
Adam
Yeah?
It's about your wife.
Is she out of the coma?
No.
But she's improving, isn't she?
I can tell she is.
Adam, your wife
didn't regain consciousness.
What do you mean?
She died in ICU.
She didn't suffer.
There was no pain.
Em
My beautiful Em.
I'm truly sorry.
I killed her!
No, there's nothing
you could have done.
But that doctor said
she was getting better.
He said she was going to be fine.
I know.
But you talked to her.
You gave her that photo.
She died a few hours ago,
before I had a chance.
(sobs) Emma.
Emma.
Adam
I have to see her!
(presses buzzer)
Emma!
Stop it.
Come on, mate.
Try and relax.
(screams) Emma!
Try and relax.
You lied to me!
Are you responsible?
It was me.
And I support her.
What about my patient?
Has his condition improved?
His reaction
was perfectly understandable.
His reaction
was perfectly understandable.
I hope you had
nothing to do with it.
I hope you had
nothing to do with it.
I take full responsibility.
I believe I did the right thing.
So now the nurses
run the hospital, do they?
If that patient deteriorates
any further,
you could all be under
extremely serious charges.
Doctor.
RACE COMMENTATOR:
It's What A Lad storming home.
Go, you beauty.
It's Silvertail and What A Lad.
And it's Silvertail by a head
from What A Lad.
Silvertail, eh?
(disgusted) 25 to one.
Got any more tips?
Well, Paul mentioned Goodfella.
Goodfella.
Ah, he's a long shot.
(choking cough)
My lungs have been stuffed
ever since the PCP.
When did you have it?
Oh, a couple of months ago.
You had it yet?
That's my business.
Pretty much all get it
sooner or later.
How long was it for you?
What?
How long were you positive for
before you got pneumonia?
Don't know.
Long time.
Number 54.
It's a bit like going to
the principal's office, isn't it?
Always expecting the worst.
He's a nice guy.
He's had this lung thing, too, eh?
Yep.
DOOR OPENS
How are you feeling?
Okay.
Sore.
At least you get a few more days
on the outside.
I'll take you for a walk later.
You don't have to do that, Sister.
It's not a problem.
There's no need to apologise.
I'm not.
You thought I was going to rape you.
Yes, I did.
I saw that look in your eyes.
I'm sorry, Mac.
I never thought I'd see it again.
Or cause it.
But I will when I get out, won't I?
I'll see it all the time as soon
as people find out what I am.
What you were.
You dream about freedom.
But it's not like that.
I've got no money,
no job, no friends.
Just a bad reputation.
And my faith.
Your faith is such a gift, Mac.
Some people search for that
all their lives.
And when you get outside,
there'll be people who can help you.
I'm gonna need a mate.
Adam, I have to do your BP.
I don't want any of that crap.
If you're refusing treatment,
Professor Craig needs to know.
I don't want him to be my doctor.
I can sack him, can't I?
Adam, why don't I have a word
to Sister Sullivan?
Yeah. Good.
Look, I know you're angry, but we
can't help you unless you let us.
If you really want to help me
just let me be with Emma.
Fill this thing up
with morphine. Go on.
Or is that not in my best interests?
No, you know it's not.
She was right here, in the building.
I could have talked to her.
Held her hand.
What's up?
We'd like an assessment
on Adam Bennett
before we take him to see his wife.
No, don't get me involved.
Ask the Prof.
He's out of the picture.
Steph thinks a proper farewell
outweighs the risks of moving him.
I'm 100% behind her.
We would like your opinion,
of course.
My opinion?
Do I have a choice?
Thanks.
Well, you didn't hear it from me.
He should be okay - physically.
I can't make any claims
about his emotions.
He could go off the deep end.
I'll get Peter to come with us.
Make sure you get an orderly.
You shouldn't be pushing a bed.
Oh, you men
love a damsel in distress.
Mr Roberts,
your room's just through here.
She's got tea. Why can't I?
I'll get you one
when you're settled.
I want it now.
Later.
I said later!
I'll take over here, thanks.
Mr Roberts, I'll get you a cuppa.
Lovely.
Jared, are you okay?
20 bucks on Goodfella.
You better be right.
You can take me down the RSL
if it wins.
I thought Cougars
was your stomping ground.
No, I'm not too popular with
the rest of the mob at the moment.
How's that?
They're cheesed off because
I didn't tell them about my father.
Oh.
Oh, what a wicked web we weave.
They say he's
a bloody good surgeon, but.
That doesn't make him
a good father - but.
Hey, how did you go?
Looks like I'll be around
a bit longer.
Good.
See you next time.
Sure.
Good luck, mate.
Looks like you've found yourself
a friend.
Number 60.
Do you want me to come in with you?
What? Hold my hand, will you?
I'll wait out here, then.
If you're not feeling well
you shouldn't be at work.
You've been on my back all day, Von.
Give it a break.
Yeah. Just as well, hey?
You've been forgetting things.
You've snapped at patients.
That isn't like you.
Jared, are you sick or not?
I'm fine, okay?
Well, you're obviously sick enough
to be taking medication.
I am not sick, Von, so just drop it.
So what are they?
Some stimulant?
Something to get you through?
Listen, drugs will not help you
get over this Angie thing.
(shouts) I said, drop it!
I expect better from you.
I bet you didn't expect me
to have HIV, huh?
That's what they are - HIV drugs.
Read for yourself. Go on.
Indinavir? I've never heard of them.
It's part of the
preventative cocktail. Happy?
Oh, no.
You didn't sleep with her?!
Oh, you'd like that, wouldn't you?
Of course I didn't sleep with her.
She bled all over me, Von.
You get it?
Do you get it?
(choked up) I tried to save her
but I couldn't.
I I tried everything I could.
(sobs)
How's Mac going?
He's out like a light.
That bloke can give you the creeps,
even when he's asleep.
Do you think you'll ever
give him a break?
Terri, I'm treating him
just like any other patient.
Just like you asked.
Yeah, okay.
Would you give him a second go?
I'm sorry, I don't understand
Look, say he's filled with remorse
for what he did
and he proves it
through his actions?
Would you give him another go?
No.
I'm sorry.
We can't agree on this one.
So?
So,
do you want the good news
or the bad news?
The good news is,
my T-cell count is up.
Fantastic.
That's great.
The bad news is,
my lungs are stuffed.
What do you mean?
I don't know, something about
necrotic lung tissue.
A combination of pneumonia
and these little buggers.
He told me to kick the habit.
Of course, I told him to rack off.
So you're going to need
lung surgery?
Give the lady a kewpie doll.
You seem pretty relaxed
about it all.
There's not much I can do about it,
is there?
Besides, I've got the best surgeon
this side of the black stump.
The great Professor Craig.
(laughs)
Hallelujah.
Then it must be your lucky day.
How come?
Goodfella romped it in. 50 to one.
Yeah?
(guffaws) Yeah!
50 to one?!
50 to one.
Good old Stu, eh?
I think you owe him one.
If there's any more tips like that
I'll give him one.
Can't take no for answer, can he?
If you really want to know,
he just asked me out.
And you said yes?
Yeah, of course I did.
He's really cute.
Uh-oh. Look out, Jared m'lad,
here she comes!
Ready to do those beds,
Nurse Levine?
Ready whenever you are.
Did I miss something?
Hey, you right for Sunday?
Sunday?
(sighs) The kids didn't tell you.
It's Fathers' Day.
They thought you might like company.
If you'd rather be alone
No, no.
I'd love you to come.
Let's go.
Closer.
Take as long as you need.
(weeps softly)
I'm going to take you home, Emma.
Home.
Shift finished?
Uh-huh.
Took Adam to the morgue,
so he could say a proper goodbye.
I think he really appreciated that.
Good for you.
So, you coming home now?
I don't think so. Not yet.
I can wait if you're not ready.
Don't bother.
See you later.
Thanks for today, everyone.
Thanks, Terri.
Have a good evening.
I'm sure one of us will.
Connor.
Jared, are you coming?
No, I've got some things to tidy up.
You'll miss a chance
to hassle Jaz and her new man.
Don't you dare!
Did you get the results
of the autopsy?
Positive.
Okay
Just because Angie was positive
doesn't mean you will be.
You know how many doctors and nurses
get needle stick injuries
and come out clear.
They said to behave as if I'm HIV
positive until they can rule it out.
You know, I'm going to support you
any way I can.
It needn't change the way
you work on the ward.
Jared, in three months
when you get the all-clear,
this will seem like
a really bad dream.
Hope so.
