Original subtitles

- [Quirky percussive music] - Just a moment.

[Yosef] Every time I've tried to do stitches,

I just freak out,

so my reg failed my first internship

on core competencies.

[Gloria] Okay, team, these are our provisional new JMOs.

[Curtis] As doctors, what do you want to do?

Oh, uh, trauma and general surgery.

Yeah, same but I wanted to do it before she did.

[Curtis] Jimmy!

[Jimmy] It's nothing, all right?

It just happens sometimes when I'm stressed.

I've got a friend who's a cardio specialist.

I'll get you in to see him.

[Curtis] You're a recent divorcée.

Got to get you on the apps.

[Gloria] I'm already seeing someone, actually.

Breaking news. Who's the lucky guy?

None of your business.

[Wind whistles]

[Inhales vape]

[Siren wails in distance]

[Clicks tongue]

Prognosis - best case through to worst.

Inflammation of the lung tissues and airways,

impaired immunity...

Thank you.

...blood clots, sleep problems,

any number of lung conditions

caused by an exposure to unregulated chemicals

where you wheeze yourself to a slow and suffocating death.

Climate change, job-pocalypse, Sydney real estate market.

My prognosis...

[Mimics Lancashire accent] ...I'll take my chances

with this menthol vape.

You've been avoiding assisting me in surgery.

Only partly true.

Scrub up.

You're on first.

[Percussive music]

[Siren wails in distance]

[Theme music]

[Siren continues]

[Siren wails]

[Siren stops]

Ohh!

Anyone who says there's no stupid questions

has never been in a parents' WhatsApp chat.

How are you getting these gains, man?

[Jimmy] Uh, what?

Well, I mean, like, is it weights or protein?

Progressive overload?

I don't have time for the gym anymore, bro.

I just swim down at the ocean pool.

- Oh, come on. Really? - Yeah.

Guys, it's a lap hep.

- No-one calls it that. - [Jimmy scoffs] Yeah.

Come on, let's... let's go!

[Gloria] Positioning is critical in laparoscopic surgery

because it's key to ensure visibility of key structures.

- [Chun] Ports are in. - [Beeping]

- [Gloria] Yeah. - [Nurse] Top lights off.

[Gloria] If you can't see it, you can't cut it.

Isn't this more a tertiary hospital deal?

Gloria's done several. She wrote a paper about it.

I'm using the harmonic

to divide the falciform ligament to the cava

and that will expose the hepatic veins.

Josh, can you move the light lead?

[Josh] Yes.

Why is Josh even getting to assist?

I didn't think he was interested in surgery.

Yeah.

[Gloria] Don't you lot have actual work to do?

Uh, just on break, Dr. Wall.

Right.

We're going to use the ultrasound

to identify the right...

- [Door opens] - ...hepatic artery and...

[Whispers] This'll be good.

[Gloria] ...the right portal vein.

We can see the hypoechoic...

- Oh, shit. - [Gloria] ..structure.

That would be our target vessel.

[Jimmy] Hey. What's up?

[Tense music]

They've got history.

[Doors rattle]

- What kind of history? - [Doors close]

She was his intern, amongst other things.

Mm. Aberrant anatomy.

[Geoffrey inhales and exhales]

Do you mind?

[Gloria sighs] Dr. Friedman.

Right, so, okay, next...

We clamp the hepatoduodenal ligament.

[Gloria sighs]

Dr. Wall, may I show them?

[Tense music]

[Surgical instrument clinks]

[Jimmy] Who is he?

Geoffrey Friedman. Star surgeon.

Weapons-grade Me Too creep.

When Gloria was a trainee, she reported him,

and, surprise, the college blacklisted her.

Sounds like a dick.

Uh, who cares? He's a genius.

[Geoffrey] We need to control hepatic inflow.

[Ellie] If I've got liver cancer,

I'm not choosing my surgeon based on morals.

Who are you?

Which segment was the tumour in

on the scan?

You.

- Well? - I...I...I don't know.

Hmm.

We're letting the porters assist now, are we?

I'll now begin the parenchymal transection.

Now, this is an area you need to be really careful of.

It's quite tricky.

[Gloria] Anita.

Oh, hey, Gloria.

[Mockingly] "Oh, hey, Gloria."

- Why the fuck is Friedman here? - Ah.

And since when is he working at what I clearly remember him

referring to as a beachside cadaver factory?

Since today. I hadn't had a chance to tell you.

I didn't want to tell you

because I knew you'd be like this.

Why here?

Who knows?

Obviously, we can't turn down a doctor like Friedman.

He's going to take a list here one week a month.

For how long?

Gloria, I know you have trauma around this.

No, it's not trauma, it's archaeology

that I don't want to dig up in my present life,

and even less so in my own fucking theatre

in front of all my interns.

It's the best outcome for our patients,

and forgive me, but you knew you were poking the bear

by bringing Josh into the program.

[Scoffs]

No, I brought Josh onto the program

because I thought he deserved a second chance.

[P.A. announcement] Patient inquiries coming...

Oh, is that why?

Yes!

[Percussive music]

[Exhales slowly]

[Slurps]

[P.A. announcement] Can we get a terminal...

[Geoffrey] Morning.

Ah.

[Flatly] Hi, Dad.

[Sniffles]

Had lunch with your mother last week.

She told me.

- She still hates you. - Huh!

You should assist me today.

You clearly need the theatre time.

Oh, Christ's sake.

[Josh] What?

Oh, the anaesthetist they've given me is an arse-clown

who couldn't put a dog to sleep.

[Josh] Mm.

Who does Dr. Wall work with?

Kush Prasad.

- Prasad? - Mm-hm.

And, uh, what's she like,

to work with?

Gloria?

So... likeable.

- Well, she's good. - Hmm.

You should listen to her.

Come on.

Uh, um...

No, I'm... I'm rostered on ED.

And I have a mandatory in-service to go to.

Well, this place suits you.

[Thumps leg]

[Ellie] The research indicates that while AI decision support

shows considerable promise,

most applications are still evolving towards

full clinical integration.

Yeah.

Thank you, Ellie, for the...

...very detailed presentation on...

[Ellie] The success rates

of interoperative AI decision support models

for general surgery.

[Gloria] Yep, that.

Or you could also learn how to do it yourselves.

[Scattered applause]

[Gloria] Okay, Dr. Parker, have you got anything?

Uh, some more from the AI housekeeping bots.

Just a reminder your timesheets are due Friday 5pm

if you would like to be paid.

And do not forget to update your handover lists

at the end of each shift.

Uh, that's not just paperwork.

It's very important.

Yes, Ellie.

[Ellie] Sorry, just a follow-up about the hepatectomy.

Risk of liver failure?

[Gloria] Yeah, first 72 hours is crucial.

[Ellie] What else should I be looking for?

[Gloria] Renal impairment, confusion, hypoglycemia,

INR levels that don't correct with vitamin K.

Are we done?

Yeah. Thank you.

[Gloria] That was a very long session.

- Thank you very much. - [Josh] Thank you.

- [Curtis speaks indistinctly] - Yeah, I think I need a coffee.

[Curtis] Go for it. I've gotta get upstairs.

- [Ellie] Uh, sorry, Dr. Wall? - Yeah.

[Ellie] I was just wondering if I might be able

to shadow Dr. Friedman today?

Yeah, his list is really fascinating.

You're on my post-ops.

I actually came in early this morning

and finished off the rounds.

No.

He's doing a perineal rectosigmoidectomy.

Well, if you'd like to see a rectal prolapse, keep talking.

Thank you.

[Uneasy music]

[Waves crash]

[Seagull chirps]

Guy with a penetrating foot injury punched through a tendon.

- [Jimmy] How'd he do that? - Crossbow.

Guy shot himself in the foot with a crossbow? Wow.

[Liam] Yosef, you want this one?

[Curtis] Crossbow?

- Yes, please. - All yours, boss. Bay 4.

Thank you very much. Uh...

- I'll see you later about the... - [Jimmy] Yeah.

- [Curtis] ..thing. - Yep.

[Liam] Uh, woman who tripped over

her dog's lead,

sliced herself up on a glass table.

Total headcase with a probable UTI.

Actually, here, you take the kid with the bump on her head

because children seem to like you.

- Awesome. [Liam] And Yosef, you take...

I'll take the UTI.

Yosef.

- Yeah? - Come with me.

[Jimmy] Hey, mate.

What's your name?

Zoshya.

Hi, Zoshya.

What's Mum's name?

She's Mummy.

- Lydia. - [Jimmy] Lydia.

Hi.

Hi, Lydia.

I'm Jimmy. I'm a doctor.

Do you want to tell me what happened today?

What if...

What's doggy's name?

Koby.

Koby. What if Koby told me what happened?

Can I?

- Do you speak? - [Koby barks and pants]

Yes, he does. Well...

- [Koby barks] - Mm-hm.

[Koby barks and pants]

Okay, then. Thanks, Koby.

Koby said you may have fell and bonked your head.

- Is that right? - I fell off the 'ackaduck'.

The aqueduct. I'm worried she might have a concussion.

Can I just feel the back of your head please, Zoshya?

There is a bump there.

You can put that ice back.

Any loss of consciousness? Vomiting? Nausea?

None of that.

Hey, Zoshya, can you just look at my nose, please?

And my nose again.

- [Flashlight clicks] - Nice.

You're in pretty good shape.

But I might get you and Koby to hang out here

while we keep an eye on you.

- Yeah. - Yeah. Okay. Cool.

Thanks, Koby.

[Lydia] Thanks, Jimmy.

[Liam] You know what usually gets shirked?

- [Yosef] What? - [Liam] Psych patients.

Interns are always cherry-picking

the simple lacerations for suturing practice.

But, you, you want the psych patients

and you're dodging lacerations.

Why?

Well, I want to be a psych.

Don't be insane. No-one wants to be a psych.

Is there a problem? Uh, I saw 16 patients yesterday.

You said the expectation was 10.

I've got no problem with your work ethic.

But this is a public hospital, Yosef.

We take whatever comes through the door.

Don't shirk, don't cherry-pick, don't case-shop. Understood?

Dog-lead lady. It's a dozen simple stitches. Go.

Liam, I...I can't.

You're fired.

- What? - [Liam] Kidding.

Come on.

[Yosef scoffs]

Um, hi, Dr. Friedman. I'm Dr. Ellie O'Neill.

Sorry to disturb you.

I took the liberty of assessing your pre-ops

and unfortunately your rectosigmoidectomy

failed to stop her blood-thinners.

For fuck's sake! What...

Every single...

Get the theatre reconfigured for...

What's next?

You have a cholecystectomy.

And I wondered if I might observe or even assist you.

Oh, did you? Have you done any?

Observed two

and assisted for an appendicectomy

and several hernia repairs.

Well, I don't need an extra assistant for a cholecystectomy.

Where are you supposed to be?

Uh, Dr. Wall's post-ops.

Ah!

Well, scrub in.

[Light percussive music]

[Flesh squelches]

Oh, my God.

- You took the anti-nausea pill? - Mm-hm.

Good.

Show me your simple interrupted suture.

Enter perpendicular.

Bite equally on both sides.

Don't stab yourself.

And there you go.

Oh. That's perfect.

Let's find dog lady who sliced herself up.

Come on, darling. Just a sip.

Hey, mate. How you feeling?

What about Koby? Hey, Koby.

Koby's lost his voice.

Any change of symptoms? Vomiting?

But now she's saying that her throat's sore.

Okay. Hmm.

Hey, we might keep you here a little bit longer

to keep an eye on you, all right?

But if nothing changes over the next couple of hours,

you can go home.

Does that sound good to you?

Thanks.

Um, so I'm just gonna...

Yeah.

[Josef] I'm just...

I'm...

Sorry.

[Percussive music]

Would you excuse us for a minute?

Hi, Mia.

Hey, so, uh, you think that your anxiety matters more

than taking care of this patient?

No, I wouldn't put it like that.

Okay, well, smash a can of 'toughen the fuck up',

'cause she's been waiting for three hours.

Liam said you were perfect on the pig's foot.

What's the problem?

- Well, you're gonna laugh at me. - Probably.

The pig couldn't feel anything.

And I don't like to hurt people.

Yosef.

You know my name?

Yeah, it's on your badge.

Use the anaesthetic. Okay?

Hi, Aiden. I'm Lisa.

Ohhh, fuck.

- Hmm? - You're a chick.

Uh, that's true, yeah,

if by 'a chick' you mean 'a lady doctor'.

[Groans loudly]

Would you be more comfortable with a bro doctor?

[Aiden grunts]

No, you're fine, I guess.

[Lisa sighs]

It's stuck. In the lock.

Don't worry, Aiden, it's nothing I haven't seen before.

Can you please take your pants down

so I can have a look at the problem?

[Fabric rustles]

[Whimpers]

Oh!

[Whispers] I think it's infected.

Yeah, I think you might be right.

Um, and...

...this is...?

For Locktober.

You know, for lifting. To get swole.

I see.

So, I am going to start you on some broad-spectrum antibiotics

and some ice packs.

[Aiden] Mm-hm.

But can I take a photo

so that I can consult with my registrar

about the best course of action?

[Feebly] Yeah.

[Inhales and exhales deeply]

[Camera clicks]

Okay.

You don't have to amputate, do you?

[Lisa] No.

[Mischievous music]

[Softly] Oh, my God! You're gonna die.

So this roided gym dude,

he's doing like his own personal Locktober,

which apparently he thinks has nothing whatsoever to do

with queer BDSM.

[Josh] Mmm.

And he's got his balls

pinched in a cock cage.

[Josh chuckles softly]

[Josh] Mm. Hmm.

[Lisa] What's wrong?

Nothing.

Don't you have some moron's giant eggplant balls to save?

[Sniffles]

- Are you all right? - Yeah.

Yep.

I'm...

[Chair slides forcefully]

What's wrong with him?

Daddy issues.

With our new VMO.

Oh, fuck. Friedman?

[Nicola] Yep.

[P.A] This is an escalated page for Dr. Eliza Zhu.

Paging Dr. Eliza Zhu to the surgery floor immediately.

Oh, my...

[Lisa] Sexy, huh?

Zoom in.

All right,

this is a particularly tricky part of the operation.

There's any number of things that can go wrong from here,

so pay attention.

There's excess tissue here, and I'll cut here and cut here.

Now, who knows what the next stage is?

[Ellie] To suction and irrigate the area...

[Doors clunk]

[Whispers] Oh, shit.

[Gloria] Do you, um, have a moment, please, Geoffrey?

Not ideal timing, Dr. Wall. Can't it wait?

Uh, no, it can't. We have, um, patient care protocols now.

We roster for fair scheduling

and prioritise a continuity of care.

You can't get away with

this dick-swinging shit anymore, Geoffrey.

It's not the '90s.

Shane Warne's dead

and the, um, Spice Girls are perimenopausal.

[Geoffrey] You've got a fill-in team.

Are you suggesting they're not up to the job?

What, they slept their way to the top, did they?

[Tense music]

Now, I'm going to prioritise my patient's care,

if you'll excuse me.

You're a fucking prick.

More medial, please, Dr. O'Neill.

I'll deal with you later, Ellie.

[Doors clunk]

[Geoffrey] Ahhh. Don't worry, she'll thaw out.

Scissors.

Dr. Wall uses diathermy.

[Firmly] Scissors.

[Geoffrey] Okay.

How are you liking ED?

You know, it's the most creative speciality.

You get the full range of humanity

walking through that door and you gotta deal with it.

Ad lib, troubleshooting.

It's frontline care.

ED doctors are adaptable, they're pragmatic and...

...you know, I think you've got a real gift for it.

Thank you.

But I'm gonna be a trauma surgeon, as you know.

Hey, you know that little girl this morning?

Yeah.

You think she was okay?

Why wouldn't she be?

You seemed to think she was gonna be all right.

[Geoffrey] Good.

[Heart monitor beeps]

Good. Okay.

[Ellie] Thank you, Jet.

- Do you want to close him up? - Definitely.

First steps?

Uh, is the count correct?

Sure is.

[Ellie] Fascia.

- Using? - O-PDS.

[Geoffrey] Retractor.

Okay, show me.

[Geoffrey] Good.

Nice.

- Now, for the skin? - A subcuticular closure.

- [Geoffrey] Using? - Monocryl.

[Geoffrey] Good.

[Ellie] Would you like me to write up the notes?

[Geoffrey laughs]

Not this time,

but you can order the histo specimen, please.

Good job, Doctor.

Nailing it. [Clicks tongue]

[Doors clunk]

[Surf crashes]

- Ahh! - [Josh] Oh, my God.

What the f... What the fuck, Lisa?

What the fuck, Josh?

Let's go get drunk. I've had a day.

No, I...I have a date.

Is it with the guy with the giant balls?

- [Chuckles] - What's their name?

Um, it is... Masc4Masc_69.

- They look really great. - [Laughs]

Well, I'm going to come with you 'cause you're being weird.

You worrying about me is really cringe, by the way.

Come on. Where are we going?

[Both chuckle]

[Josh] We're going to the golf club.

[Lisa] The golf club?

You want something from the vending machine?

Nah.

Shit.

- [Intriguing music] - What is it?

Shit, we've got to go.

What about the appointment? What are you doing?

Calling Liam.

What about the appointment?

Liam, did you check on Zoshya?

Uh, I sent someone, but no change.

Excuse me, Lydia. Hi.

Any chance she's eaten something she shouldn't today?

[Lydia] I've been with her the whole time.

What about when you got that drink from the vending machine?

No. I popped out to...

Why?

Uh, Zoshya, did you do something

with the little silver battery that was in here?

I didn't mean to.

Ahh, that's okay. Don't worry.

We just might need to get you scanned, okay,

to make sure it's...

That's all right.

We're gonna get that out of your tummy, okay? Curtis?

Curtis?

Suspected ingestion of a button battery.

Shit.

Can we get someone in here as well?

[Curtis] Yeah.

[Lydia] It's gonna be all right.

- Lydia, hey. - Yeah, yeah.

We're gonna have to X-ray

and take her to theatre right now.

Can you have a quick look at reprioritising your list

for this afternoon?

Yes. How long ago did she ingest?

- [Jimmy] Two hours at least. - Oh, my God.

- Has the mother consented? - Yep.

Okay, let's change the list.

We'll move Mr. Chambers and Mrs. Yorke to tomorrow.

Try and get to Mrs. Bedi this afternoon.

We'll see how this one goes.

[Gloria] Going in.

X-ray indicated the battery was in the stomach.

[Tense music]

Tissue damage?

Mm-hm. Chemical burns.

Shit, I...I can't locate the battery.

It's not looking good.

I think it's gone into the small intestine.

[Tense music builds]

[Sighs] I'm going to have to go in.

I'm gonna need help.

Okay, retracting.

Where's Chun?

He's still in theatre 1.

[Tense chord]

I'm going to have to call Friedman.

Can you see where Friedman is?

[Button beeps]

Dr. Friedman.

Sorry, I know you're finished,

but Dr. Wall's requested your help with an urgent case.

[Doors clunk]

[Geoffrey] Battery site?

Small intestine.

- Kush? - Uh, vitals are stable.

We'll maintain low-pressure stabilisation.

Okay. Let's make a 5-mil incision to start.

10 blade, please.

Starting now.

[Tense music]

[Geoffrey] Camera in.

[Gloria] Camera in.

[Geoffrey sighs]

[Gloria] There's some inflammation

of the small intestine.

No evidence of a perforation.

We can make an enterotomy if you're able to move the battery.

[Geoffrey] Mm-hmm. I can gently squeeze it through.

And moving it.

And...

...battery free.

Get ready with the Endo Catch.

Mm-hm. That's it. Gently.

[Gloria] Battery's in the bag.

Clinching it closed right now.

- [Geoffrey] Ahh! - Got it.

[Geoffrey chuckles] Nice work, Doctor.

[Gloria] Yeah. Good work to you.

Looks like localised early necrosis.

[Geoffrey] Mm-hmm.

We'll get away with a small resection here.

Open the 5-mil stapler, please.

I feel bad eating octopus now.

Don't. That's squid.

It's the same thing.

You know, they can navigate mazes.

Slime moulds can navigate mazes.

Seriously.

- They're really smart. - Yeah.

Did you see that octopus documentary?

They can, like, open jars and stuff.

So your dietaries are that you only eat stupid animals?

Yeah.

- You're a stupidetarian? - Yes.

- That's great. - [Chuckles]

- Oh! Masc4Masc. - Mm.

Ahhh.

[Lisa] Oh, cap's on backwards. Fuck that guy.

Actually, no, don't fuck that guy.

Hang out with me instead. Drink with me instead.

Just tell him you changed your mind or something.

Oh, my God, he's coming over here.

[Josh] It's fine, it's fine.

[Lisa] I think he knows it's you.

[Josh] I switched off the app. Come here.

[Whispers] That's so mean!

Let's get another drink. I hate beer.

Tequila.

Okay.

I got this one.

Ohh!

- [Jimmy] Hey. - Hi.

- That was awesome. - [Chuckles]

- You were awesome. - Thanks.

- [Door opens] - It's...

Oh.

Doctor.

[Gloria] Okay.

Watch out for that one.

Fuck off, Geoffrey!

[Chuckles]

Lydia.

Uh, Zoshya's gonna be fine. The surgeons got it out.

- Oh, my God, thank you. - That's okay.

[Lydia sobs]

All good.

I'll go take you to see her.

Yeah.

[P.A.] Paging Dr. Phillips.

Dr. Phillips, please come to reception.

[Rain patters]

[Knock at door]

Come in.

[Door opens]

[Ellie] Uh, Dr. Wall?

I just wanted to say I'm sorry about today.

Do you understand how this place works, Ellie?

We have to trust our teams,

and that means doing what your supervisor tells you

when they tell you.

Like, we're holding this place together

with our bare hands sometimes

and we can't have you or anyone

just going off their own bat.

- It doesn't work like that. - And I understand that. I do.

Yeah?

But I did get all my ward work done

and I think that we should be supported to get experience

with the best surgeons whenever we can.

Hmm.

Well, if you want to cosy up with Dr. Friedman,

then be my guest, but...

...I would advise wearing a bra.

For your own sake.

[Percussive music]

Look, I get that it was tough in the '80s, or whatever,

but you can't talk like that anymore.

[Mutters] Oh, fuck's sake.

Thank you, Dr. Wall.

Yeah.

Ellie? Ellie!

Hey.

Um, I got you something.

Oh, my God!

- It's Mushu! - Yeah.

Were you stalking my ex-dog on socials?

Yeah, I was.

Arrrr! [Laughs]

- Oh! - I made it online.

It's, um... it's cropped.

Thanks, Kush.

So what do you say, can I, um, take you out for lunch tomorrow?

Sure.

- Awesome. - [Laughs]

You... you're not gonna bark, are you?

- Uh, no. - [Laughs]

- See you tomorrow. - See ya.

[Soft music plays]

Oh, so Nicola...

Oh, my God.

Lisa's into stone butch.

Don't be reductive. Nicola's a really great person.

- [Josh] Hmm. - And she's just very hot.

She is hot.

You should hook up.

- She's cool. - She is cool.

- I'm gonna tell her. - You fucking are not.

You're full of surprises, Lisa.

- Oh, I'm full of surprises? - Yes.

That was your dad today.

You kept that one under wraps, didn't you,

with your different surname

and not telling us that he was working at the hospital.

[Laughs] Are we going to talk about it?

- No. - No?

We are not.

I don't have daddy issues.

That's gauche.

Zaddies, though...

Hello!

- [Lisa laughs] - I'm sorry.

I can't believe you did that.

He's totally coming. Oh, God.

- Hey-hey. - [Josh] Hey.

Let me guess. Bombshell and the twunk brother?

- Uh-uh. Guess again. - Ooh, OK.

Um, well, you're definitely not golfers.

Uh-uh.

I'm Stefan. Hi.

Marlon.

- Marlon! - Yes, sir.

Cool name.

- And you are? - Cleo.

- Ooh, that's hot. - Hmm.

So you're definitely not related, then?

- No, we work together. - [Josh] Mm-hm.

[Lisa] Are you a golfer, Stefan?

[Stefan scoffs] No. No, no, no.

I just take the buggy around the course sometimes.

- Uh-huh. - Scenic route.

And they make you carry a club. Fair enough.

[Josh] Do they?

What do you do for a living?

I'm an insurance risk assessor.

[Stefan] Interesting. What about you?

- Um, I'm a... cellist. - [Stefan] Okay.

Yeah, and I, um, assess musical insurance...

...requirements.

- She's the best in the biz. - [Stefan] Mm-hm.

- No, seriously. - [Stefan] I tell you what.

I'm buying, yeah?

So what, um... What if you tell me all about it later?

[Josh] Yeah.

Okay, Daddy.

Oh, like, we're... going?

Yeah. Why not? See what happens.

- Shall we go? - [Josh] Yeah.

[Stefan] Sure.

[Frogs and insects chirp]

[Dog barks in distance]

Oh! Hello.

- [Gloria] Drink? - Come in.

Good to see you.

[Gloria] Nice to see you too.

You still, um, live like a 28-year-old surfer.

- [Soulful ballad plays] - Thanks for noticing.

[Gloria] Oh.

How's little battery girl doing?

Um... she's okay.

I think she's going to be okay.

That was a good pick-up from Jimmy.

Yeah.

- So what's up? - Nothing.

Ellie thinks I'm 50.

[Laughs hysterically]

Just shut up! You're so mean!

Honestly, I'm literally trying to look after them.

I just think the... the kids are so...

...I don't know, needy with the pronouns and...

God, the shit I had to go through when I was their age.

- Yeah, it was shit, but... - Yeah.

...you can't blame them for pushing for their change.

I know, but do they have to be so entitled about it?

Oh, my God, am I the dinosaur now?

- Is that... [Laughs] - Well, if you're going to...

If you're going to say "pronouns" with air quotes,

then, uh, maybe you are.

- Oh, that's good, isn't it? - Yeah.

Speaking of dinosaurs,

I'm sorry that they're making you work

with that Tyrannosaurus sex pest.

[Both laugh]

I actually needed him today. Can you believe that?

I actually had to call for him.

I did. If he wasn't there, I couldn't have done it.

No, that's all right.

Not really.

And it's not what you think it is.

- What do I think it is? - I don't know.

Whatever it is that you think it is, it's not that.

Whatever you've heard, 'cause I didn't, um...

You don't have to talk about it.

Okay, for one, I'm just gonna make this point.

I did not blow the whistle on him. Not on purpose, anyway.

No, I thought that I was in love with him at the time.

- When he was your boss? - Yeah.

It all blew up

when I had to testify against him at a hearing,

'cause there was a complaint against him.

And... and because I was under oath,

I had to admit to the relationship.

- Right. - And then a whole...

God, a whole other string of women came forward

and the college did nothing about it.

They didn't touch him,

but I couldn't get a job for, like, three years.

- Not even as a registrar. - Huh.

Sorry.

I really am.

It's all right.

Anyway, the worst part about all of it was that

I broke up his marriage

and Josh was only a kid

and the divorce was a category 5 clusterfuck.

Now everybody thinks I'm some kind of victim or Me Too hero

and it makes me very uncomfortable

because that's not what happened.

So there.

Wow.

That's a lot.

You're not a dinosaur.

You're not like him.

It's not like you're bonking the interns.

Hmm. Yeah.

Adorable. Where do they go to school?

- What?! - Yeah.

We're kind of on a break right now

and, um, the girls kind of hate me

'cause I took this job.

- Musical insurance? - Yeah. Sure.

Um, I took this job

without really talking to Dylan about it,

so he didn't love that.

But, you know, it was, like, my last shot,

so I had to do it.

Oh. Yeah.

Should we go back to my place?

We need to ask Cleo.

Yeah, sure.

Guys, get ready to have your minds blown.

[Lisa] This is ridiculous.

[Josh] Mm. Dinosaur in a mansion on the cliffs.

[Lisa] I can't believe that line worked on us.

[Josh] Oh, he's going to kill us.

[Lisa] He's going to eat us.

[Josh] He's going to dump our bodies at sea.

[Stefan] I did it with Walshy at Justin's place the other week

and, yeah, sure, the guy's a fuckwit,

but people still think that markets are efficient.

His real insight was that market perception...

- [Lisa] Wow. Crazy house. - ...is what creates reality.

What is this?

Psychedelic ketamine.

[Snorts] Ahh.

[Snorts] Hmm?

[Josh exhales]

So cellists, as I understand,

are naturally very sexual people, right?

- [Josh] Oh. - Like, is that right?

- Oh. - [Stefan] Like the vibrations.

- Definitely. - [Stefan] Oh.

Yeah. My whole family are musicians.

My maestro, he used to tell me

that I would never be good enough.

Would always beat me with his belt

whenever I got a note wrong.

Always said that I would never be as good as him.

Yeah.

Which, you know, sadly for me,

I realised long ago is quite true.

[Stefan] Profound.

Yes. Very.

[Stefan] I got it from a collector in Melbourne, right?

I named her Misty.

Just come. Come! Come! Come! Come!

You've got to see her. She's the best.

I built a special room

It's a diprotodon. It's a fucking massive wombat.

I thought you said you had a dinosaur?

Yeah, I'm pretty sure these were actually marsupials.

They went extinct about 50,000 years ago, okay?

Oh, my God, I haven't had that much fun in so long.

[Josh] Yeah.

Okay. Fuck! We've got to be at work in three hours!

- Oh, no. - I regret everything.

- My ride's here. - Okay.

- No. - I have to go.

No! [Chuckles]

[Laughs] I'll see you in three hours.

[Wondrous piano music]

Just these two on for you, okay?

Are you okay?

[Jimmy] Yeah.

Stay as still as you can for me.

[Wondrous piano music continues]

[Curtis] Morning, tiger.

[Jimmy] Hey.

- How'd it go? - Good.

Yeah, yeah, sweet. Nothing wrong with my heart.

So, no arrhythmia?

Nope.

And they ruled out the cardiomyopathy?

Yeah, huge relief, actually. [Chuckles]

Right. That's good.

Thank you.

You coming in?

Uh, soon. Soon.

- I'll meet you inside. - Okay.

- Okay. Thank you. - [Curtis] See ya.

[Car approaches]

[Gloria] Hey, do you want a coffee?

I'm all good.

[Barista] Triple-shot espresso.

[Gloria] Thank you so much, kind sir.

Haven't seen you very much.

I know. It's been a really mental week.

I do need to talk to you.

Cool. I need to talk to you too.

Oh?

My heart has...

Okay, right before you say anything

that you're gonna regret, um...

...can I go first?

We're...

We're gonna have to, um, stop doing this.

- This? - This thing, being together.

Gloria, I was gonna say that...

No, I know what you were gonna say,

but I've got power over your registration

as a medical practitioner.

I can pass or fail you within a year.

It's, like, I'd never abuse that power,

but... we just can't.

Yeah, cool. That's... Glad you said that.

It's what I was gonna say. [Laughs]

That's a relief.

- [Gloria chuckles] - Yeah.

Okay.

Bye, Jimmy.

Bye. I'll see you in there.

Yeah.

[Gloria] Yeah. Bye.

[Woman] It's so funny!

Ha-ha! Good morning, darling one.

- Just... - [Chuckles]

- Never again. - Oh.

- Never again. - I know.

[Gloria] Josh?

Josh, um, look I felt like I needed to speak to you

now that your father's working here.

Um, look, I...I know you probably hate me

and blame me for the break-up of their marriage,

but the reason I brought you onto this program

is because I think if you can get over

your various personality, you know, excesses,

then I believe that you would make a decent doctor.

So, basically what I'm saying,

if you need to talk to me, I'm here.

Oh, my God. You're not special.

What do you mean?

He fucked everything!

Our home was wrecked well before you.

- That's enough, Josh. - You're not special.

Let me disabuse you of that notion right now. He ruined...

- He ruined my mum's life. - Josh.

- There were so many of you. - Josh!

That is enough! [Smacks Josh]

[Clears throat]

Really?

[Jimmy grunts]

[Jimmy clears throat]

Sorry.

What is that? What's going on?

Um... [Clears throat]

It's nothing.

[Locker clunks]

It's a heart monitor.

Yeah, I know it's a heart monitor.

I'm asking why you're wearing one.

[Locker clunks]

Mm.

Jimmy, what is it?

I've got a genetic heart condition.

Long QT.

It's a fault in the heart's electrical system...

Yeah, I know what it is.

Jimmy, I'm sorry.

Hmm.

[Ellie] Oh.

Here.

[Tender music]

[Jimmy clears throat]

Hmm.

Have you told anyone here yet?

I'm not gonna tell anyone.

Jimmy, you have to.

Ellie, if you can drop dead at any second,

I don't think they'll let you become a surgeon.

[Kush] Knock, knock.

[Kush knocks] Ready?

Uh... Yeah! Yep!

[Locker clunks shut]

[Ellie] You can't keep this secret, Jimmy.
