(COME ON EILEEN BY DEXYS MIDNIGHT RUNNERS PLAYS IN THE DISTANCE)

(SONG PLAYS LOUDER AND FASTER IN SHORT BURSTS)

I told you to stop that, you stupid prick!

Stop harassing me, you bastard.

(WHIRRS)

Right!

I fuckin' warned ya!

(WHIRRS)

I'm the captain.

This is the New Order.

Right, I think you're going to have to take that one up with Nik.

He thinks he's the new captain.

Two captains?

We gonna go to war over this or what?

Well, I'm hoping we're going to work together, Baz.

Getting worked up.

It's hard to get a decent read on you.

I shouldn't even be here. Yeah.

Believe it or not, Baz,

you're not the first person here to say that.

Where's the P4?

Trevor?

Hey, Nik! Hey!

How much longer is he gonna be?

Ah, why don't you go to art therapy while I track him down?

I am an artist.

I don't do "art therapy".

Baz, you don't want to waste your time waiting for Doctor Achebe.

But it's alright for him to waste my time, is that right?

Is that right? Yeah?

Yeah, right.

Rohan's an hour late for his appointment.

Oh, have you tried messaging him?

Yeah. No response.

OK.

Um, well, I'd see Baz myself, but I have a full list.

You need to know that Linda was covering for Rohan,

but I am not.

No-one should be covering for Rohan.

He's not cutting it.

You need to do something.

The hospital employs him, not me.

He has done 10 years of study to get where he is.

What I am doing is I'm trying to support him rather than just...

But meanwhile. ..write him off.

Meanwhile, his patient is waiting in the corridor downstairs.

And while you're standing here telling me this,

we are both keeping... Cath waiting.

(KNOCK AT DOOR)

Come in.

Sit down, Cath.

How are you feeling?

Doctor Achebe, Nik here, Ward C.

You have a patient here by the name of Baz Madden.

Hey, so... so let me get this straight, eh?

I'm supposed to wait there an hour and a half

for an appointment with a shrink

who can't even be bothered to show up.

Hang on, Doctor. I'll just put him on.

Here, why don't you tell the doctor how you feel about it?

Really? Yeah.

No shit.

Hello, Doc.

Yeah, it's Baz Madden here, yeah.

Yeah. Yeah, good, yeah.

So I was told I had an appointment with you...

Do you think that's a good idea? ..at 11.30am this morning.

Yeah, I do.

Well, according to the clock on the wall, it's now 12:55pm.

You see I, no, I'd just like you to appreciate

that I'm actually a very busy person.

How'd you go?

Tomorrow. First thing.

You see? That's as it should be.

Him making an appointment with me, not the other way around.

Yeah.

Can't say I disagree with you there.

Oh, fuck, man.

Turn off the light!

What is it?

It's proof I shouldn't be here.

OK. Wow. Yeah.

Definitely not the work of someone who's mad.

You know what I reckon the doctor's gonna say?

He's gonna say, "This man needs to be given respect."

He's gonna say, "This man has been done a massive injustice

"and we need to let him out immediately."

That's what he'll say.

Okie dokie.

Well, you never know your luck.

What's that?

Poetry.

The couplets are symbolic.

Symbolic cutlets. Morning.

Cutlets and piglets.

Mr Santo.

Hang on, you said I was first up.

It was a figure of speech. Mr Santo had an appointment at 9.

Ah, how can first mean anything but position number one?

One, two. Lower your sperm count.

You'll be seen directly after Mr Santo.

Mate, why don't you shut up for five minutes?

Your mouth'll thank you for it.

Hey, hey, hey... No, wait a minute.

He said I was first up.

No, excuse me. No, excuse me.

Mate, you take my place, you'll be fuckin' sorry.

Hey, excuse me. Excuse me. Excuse me.

Mate, he said I was first up. Baz, mate, I get it.

I get it... No, wait a minute, wait a minute.

Just wait a minute. Excuse me. Excuse me.

Oh, come on. I'm gonna rip someone's head off.

Hey, why don't you channel that frustration into your poetry

or your artwork?

'Cause I'm a busy man. I've got shit to do!

Try and get it out somehow.

Draw something. Write something.

Get what out? Anger. Frustration.

Give me a word, any word.

Trev, ah, give him a word.

I've gotta get back.

Any word?

Yeah, give me a word. Ah, OK.

Bounce.

Bounce.

Give me just one ounce.

Hoo. That's good. That rhymes.

Jacked off with waitin'.

It needs music, but.

Is that all you think poetry is?

A song without music?

No.

Actually, yeah.

Anticipatin'.

(BIRD SQUAWKS)

No, music'll make it sound better.

I said no.

Fuck your meditatin'.

We're not participatin'.

Bounce. Bounce.

Yeah.

(BEATBOXES)

So where's the fuckin' doctor?

Oh. Oh. He went that-a-way.

Ah, just a second.

At, ah, yes. 9:56am.

So he's pissed off? He's gone AWOL.

This is bullshit.

(SCREAMS)

HUSHED VOICE: Fuckin' retard.

Baz, if you want to get out of this place anytime soon,

that is not the way to go.

It's a Master and Commander situation.

It's all linked.

Yeah, I mean, Doctor Achebe now thinks you're dangerous.

I am.

Check out the door.

Yeah.

Turns out you had some assistance from a nest of resident termites.

Look, I mean, it's still... impressive.

Doctor Achebe's ready for you in his office.

Now, the calmer you are in there, the better the outcome.

It was a major stuff up on the cops' part to start with...

Mr Madden... He's the one breaking the law...

Your behaviour's aggressive...

And I'm banged up in here accused of being crazy.

And your mood is elevated.

Yeah, of course it's elevated.

I mean, the cops said they're bringing me in here

for an assessment.

24 hours later, I'm still here.

Well, I'm sorry, but the incident with your neighbour

and your outburst just now

indicates that you need to be in here

until we can stabilise your mood.

Stabilise? Mm.

Stabilise.

You know, um...

Hey, you know what destabilises me?

People who disrespect me.

Look, I understand you feel disrespected, but that is not my...

Stop it with your "I understand. I understand."

You know, I mean, that crap doesn't cut it with me.

If you understood, you'd...

..you'd have the decency to show up for an appointment.

You wouldn't... Well, I... I did apologise...

You wouldn't leave me waiting out there

like some fuckin' low-life piece of shit.

Doctor or not.

I know where you live!

You know what?

You're gonna regret the day

your mother ever pushed you out of her fat twat.

So, you're not going to take your medication, then?

You're just keeping me here to turn a profit.

Baz, we're keeping you here because you're unwell...

I've run a business, luvvy. I know the friggin' caper.

So, you're not going to take them, then?

Baz?

Did you use Doctor Achebe's phone?

My office. I know I locked it.

So you used Doctor Achebe's phone to threaten your neighbour.

Did you go into the staff kitchen?

He's still feeding those birds.

The problem is, Baz, is that by calling him

you've inflamed the situation and broken your AVO.

Did you change the settings?

Can we just focus on the patient?

You know what this incident tells us is that you're not ready to leave.

I shouldn't even be here in the first place.

When are you morons gonna get that?

He's changed the settings. You know what?

I'm gonna solve this problem on all fronts.

Yeah?

Mobile phones - they're now banned from this ward.

Staff and patients.

That doesn't apply to doctors, though?

Why would you lot be any exception?

Yes.

And from now on, shrinks can make appointments with patients,

not the other way around.

Yes! High five, my friend!

Bounce. Give me just one ounce.

Before you denounce me.

Yeah. Yeah, man. That's good, that's good.

Mad is as mad does. I'm the verb not the noun.

So don't bring me down.

Yeah. No, listen, I've got a tune for it.

♪ Mad is as mad does I'm the verb not the noun

♪ So don't bring me down

Hey, Nik.

Man. Hey, Nik, I got a poem for ya.

Yeah? That's good.

Hey, what's that on your head?

It's, uh...

I mean, looks like someone shot you in the head, man.

(LAUGHS) Fuck off, Baz.

(SQUAWKS)

Listen, um...

..I'm sorry for snapping at you just now.

You got me at a bad moment.

I've got some stuff going on.

Outside of work.

WOMAN'S VOICE: Shit for brains.

Baz?

MAN'S VOICE: (WHISPER) Gonna kill you.

WOMAN'S VOICE: Scum!

Fuckin' retard.

MAN'S VOICE: What are you doing, dumb cunt?

Can you hear something?

Look at you. You're nothing.

Baz? What can you hear?

Look at me, you fucker. You.

What are you doing? You're gonna be in here forever.

Shit for brains. Anything else?

You fucker. Over here.

Fuckhead.

That's why you're a dumb fuckin' retard.

Who's talking to you?

Poet? (LAUGHS)

You're not a poet. You're not a poet.

Stop. Dumb cunt.

You're gonna be in forever.

Fuck off. Crazy loon. (OVERLAPPING VOICES)

I told you to stop that, you stupid prick!

Stop harassing me, you bastard.

(OVERLAPPING VOICES)

Right. I fuckin' warned ya!

(WHIRRS, OVERLAPPING VOICES CONTINUE)

Balls on a cow.

(OVERLAPPING VOICES)

Shut up, or I'll chop your fuckin' head off!

What are they saying to you?

That I'm scum. I'm gonna die.

They're not talking to you, mate.

You know, that's your head making it seem that way.

But we can help you get them under control.

They've got the numbers.

Well, we've got some pretty big guns in our arsenal, believe me.

Come on.

Let's get you some help.

Hey, Baz.

Um, I've organised for Doctor Wells to see you about these new symptoms.

Now, she can help you control the voices, Baz.

She might even be able to get them to stop completely.

You right?

I'm gonna write a poem about you.

Make it a good one.

Course.

I move people.

Yeats got nothing on me.

Irish cunt. (LAUGHS)

KAREENA: Where are you taking me?

Where do you want to go?

So, are you getting out?

I'm sorry.

I notice that you and Tessa have started back on that puzzle.

She's better at it than me.

In our last consultation,

she mentioned something about a Plan B.

What is that?

That's the plan you use when your Plan A doesn't work out.

Is it suicide?

No, it's more of a dark joke, really.

If you kill yourself, then I'll have to do the same

and you've got two deaths on your conscience.

My concern is...

..what happens when you leave?

Because you are going to leave, James.

You're getting better.

And it's very important that when the time comes,

you're able to do so unencumbered.

Tessa saved my life.

I'm not leaving here until I save hers.

They're co-dependent.

The last time that James discharged himself without notice,

Tessa took a nosedive.

Mmm, she made a connection with someone for the first time,

and he's found something to live for.

He has a wife and a son.

Well, let's not pretend this kind of thing makes any sense.

The intensity between them is potentially dangerous

if things go wrong...

All relationships are potentially dangerous.

Look, if co-dependency keeps them both alive,

I'm all for it.

(SCOFFS) OK.

What's that?

What?

Ah, it's a henna tattoo.

I went to Reni's Mehndi ceremony.

Right. Ah, why?

Because she asked me to.

Because I... I'd never been to one before.

It's great that James and Tessa are connecting,

but they both need a proper exit strategy.

This car is ridiculous.

What kind of idiot designs a car that locks the driver inside?

You'll get the hang of it.

Maybe I don't want to get the hang of it.

It beeps at me and talks to me and repeats everything.

Hey, you didn't like the smart watch that I got you, remember?

Now you're a convert.

Did you find the manual?

Yes, and it was all fucking technobabble.

Listen, you are an intelligent woman.

And that car is your servant.

All you need to do...

..is take control.

What are you doing?

Taking control.

OK.

Friendships formed in here can be quite intense...

He's helping me do a puzzle, for fuck's sake.

And we need to be careful... He's not even good at it.

..that they don't get in the way of recovery.

So we can't do the puzzle together, is that it?

My point is that whatever relationship you have with James...

Oh, how is this your business?

..we need to be sure that it's healthy for both of you...

Oh, fuck off with your healthy relationships.

..and we need to put in place support systems for when you have...

Tessa...

No, you know the problem with bitches like you?

You keep people on a string.

And when that string snaps, you're on your own.

(KNOCKS)

Tessa, I need you to move away from the door so I can open it.

Fuck off!

The cleaner wanted to take the... Tessa.

..dirty dishes fro her room,

so Tessa shut the door and barricaded herself in.

(KNOCKS)

What does she want?

They want to split us up. No, we don't.

Yeah, yeah, which means I'm out and on the street.

Tessa, there are plenty of other places to go than on the street...

Oh, yeah, like where? We've got a spare room at our place.

You can come and stay with us.

Yeah, right. Your wife's gonna love that.

Me and all my shit.

I think we're getting way ahead of ourselves here.

Tessa, we're not looking to take away your friendship with James.

We want you to have more people in your life,

not less,

because you can't always hang on to the people

that you get close to.

But that doesn't make them any less valuable.

Tessa is not your responsibility.

Then whose responsibility is she?

We will make sure that she's properly set up.

You have Leyla and Ted.

And your work.

There's no work.

I can't go back.

Don't make Tessa your purpose.

You'll find another job.

Everybody knows.

And if they do?

It's unacceptable.

Tell me what you've done that's unacceptable.

I tried to neck myself.

You don't think people can see past that?

Well, they can, maybe, in your world.

Not in mine.

Then you will make a new world where they do.

And how do I do that?

Could you... could you do that?

I just can't understand how someone so capable

can be so technologically challenged...

It's not funny!

Come on, it is a little bit funny.

I mean, you did leave the car running all day.

I don't... I don't have time to wrap my head around

that stupid car.

I have complex human beings to deal with.

OK, I get it.

You're stressed and you've lost your sense of humour.

How about we just...

Look, let's forget about cooking dinner at home tonight.

Let's just go out. No, I don't want to.

I... (SIGHS)

I think I just need to be alone.

(QUIET CHATTER)

Hear that? Mm.

They've been tunnelling.

It's just about hollow.

Toxic, electric.

Nothing spawned in the game of life.

Interesting workplace you've chosen for yourself.

That colleague of yours, with the dot on his head.

Indian bloke. Nik?

Mm! Lunatics really are running the asylum.

Excuse me. Mm-hm.

Yep.

I think we have a problem.

What's this about a mobile phone ban?

Mm-hm.

We have pagers, we have landlines.

We don't need mobile phones as well.

And psychiatrists making appointments with patients?

Yeah, Baz suggested it and I think it makes sense.

(SCOFFS)

You know what?

I am tired of seeing patients waiting around for shrinks.

You guys have no idea how much they hang out

for their appointments.

You know they're afraid to go to activities

they might actually benefit from, from fear they'll miss the doctor.

That weekly appointment is their one hope

that something might actually change,

that someone might actually do something

to help them get out of what feels like an eternal hellhole.

What is going on?

Nothing's going on.

What is this anti-shrink crusade that you're on?

I am not anti-shrink.

Yes, you are, and you need to look at it.

Maybe it's because you didn't become one yourself.

That's how you saw it.

Now that I chose nursing, but that I failed to become a shrink...

I didn't say failed.

What about you look at the fact that me doing nursing

was never going to be good enough for you.

What? What?!

It didn't fit in with your family or your plans.

That is not true. Course it is.

It's the reason we split up.

We split up because you slept with someone else.

Hi, it's...

It's Kareena.

Yeah, um...

Are you... Where are you?

You should cash in on this problem of yours

and claim disability allowance.

I'm... I'm so sorry. I don't know why I called you.

All good. I'm here now.

You OK?

Yeah.

Why does someone who could get lost on an escalator

go running in the bush?

Normally I stick to the track, but just... I don't know how I...

Do you actually want to get lost?

No.

No, I...

My mind wandered and then I didn't know...

..I... I couldn't find...

Well, you should double back.

Retrace your steps.

Well, I did. I was...

I thought this other track could cut across and...

Well, hang on.

No shortcuts.

Set your anchor points and stick to it.

That way you can always retrace your steps.

Yeah?

Yeah.

Thank you. I really... I really appreciate this.

All good.

I'll add it to your bill.

Can you simplify it in some way?

Well, that's exactly what it's supposed to do. Simplify things.

Well, it's not working.

It's a brand-new car. It is working.

Um, well, maybe you could, um, deactivate something.

Because, to my mind, I know it's meant to be a smart car,

but when it's doing things you don't necessarily want it to do,

it's not... I mean, there's smart and then there's just...

Kareena... ..complicated.

He doesn't know what you want. Well, I want my old car back.

Thank you.

Is that why you took the job? Because of Nik?

No.

No, I took the job because it was a promotion.

For Christ's sake, Kareena.

Why don't you practise what you preach?

Stop deluding yourself.

I'm not!

Then why are you taking the pill again?

I found the packet.

What's going on?

David, please, please don't do this.

There is... there is nothing going on.

Then my guess is that you wish that there was.

Maybe you took the job because you wanted to see

if there was anything left between you and Nik

before entrenching yourself any further in us.

No.

OK, OK.

Look, let's just...

Let's just go down the Koorong River.

We'll take a break. We'll sort this out.

No, I can't just pick up and leave without notice.

I have patients...

Kareena, if you want to save this marriage, then we have to go.

Now.

ROHAN: On it.

Moving forward, guys.

Come on. Right side now.

MAN: Got him. MAN: Nice one.

Reloading.

(GUNFIRE)

Fuck! Fuck!

Dammit! Fuck, man!

Shit!

We're screwed. Dude, what are we doing?

Shit, no way, man. No way.

Was that all the explosives?

No ammo, man. No skills, shotgun kids.

Fuck!

Alright, look, we'll...

..we'll check in tomorrow while they're offline

and see where we went wrong.

Fuck.

(PHONE BUZZES)

Doctor Achebe, Nik here, Ward C.

You have a patient here by the name of Baz Madden.

Yes, I was delayed.

Tell him I'm sorry, but I'll have to re...

Hang on, Doctor, I might just put him on.

BAZ: Hello, Doc.

It's Baz Madden here.

The couplets are symbolic.

Symbolic cutlets. Cutlets and piglets.

Morning.

Mr Santo.

Hang on, you said I was first up.

It was a figure of speech.

Mr Santo had an appointment at nine...

Hey, how can first mean anything other than position number one?

One, two.

You'll be seen directly after Mr Santo...

Mate, why don't you shut up for five minutes?

Your mouth'll thank you for it. Calm down...

He said I was first up.

Mate, you take my place, you'll be fuckin' sorry.

Hey, excuse me. Excuse me. Excuse me.

Have a seat. Excuse me.

Wrong bin is a sin.

No plastic. Excuse me. Excuse me.

I'm gonna rip someone's head off.

NIK: Why don't you channel that frustration

into your poetry or artwork?

'Cause I'm a busy man. I've got shit to do!

(BREATHES DEEPLY)

So he's pissed off? He's gone AWOL.

This is bullshit.

(WOOD SMASHES, SCREAM)

(ALARM BEEPS)

(GUNFIRE)

Hey.

I'll just let your patient know you'll be a while longer, shall I?

We'll let him demolish the rest of the building,

and then we can all go home, right?

He needs to be transferred. Says who?

I'm having him transferred to Ward H.

Baz is not Ward H material. Yes, he is.

He threatened his neighbour with a hedge trimmer.

He's a safety risk.

You know what?

He gets volatile when he's dicked around.

Hmm?

And not showing for an appointment one day

and making him wait an hour the next is, I believe, dicking him around.

Hmm?

I'll see you there.

He's in the wrong unit.

I don't think that he is.

Well, did you see the door?

He's threatening me, other patients...

But if you look through his history,

there are no actual incidents of physical violence.

Well, not against a person.

Well, I don't want to be the first.

Rohan, you need to be able to handle

a certain level of aggressive behaviour in this work.

I understand that.

Where were you yesterday?

I can't keep rescuing you.

I don't expect you to.

I think that you do.

And this stops now.

You need to see your patient and find a way to help him,

or you need to seriously consider your options.

Look, I understand you feel disrespected,

but that... it's not my...

BAZ: Stop it with your "I understand. I understand."

You know, I mean, that crap doesn't cut it with me.

If you understood, you'd have the decency to show up

for an appointment.

Look, well, I did apologise...

You wouldn't leave me waiting out there

like some fuckin' low-life piece of shit.

Doctor or not, I know where you live.

You know what?

You're gonna regret the day

your mother ever pushed you out of her fat twat.

You will stay in this hospital until you've had treatment

and you are well enough to leave.

I don't need treatment. My neighbour...

In my professional opinion you do, and if not in here, then in Ward H.

No fuckin' way.

This conversation's not productive while you're making threats.

We'll talk about it when you're calm.

I don't need treatment.

I refuse to go to H.

I'm the captain.

This is the New Order. Right.

I think you have to take that one up with Nik.

He thinks he's the new captain. Two captains.

We gonna go to war over this or what?

Well, I'm hoping we're gonna work together, Baz.

See, you've got Naomi there twice.

Linda's gotta go there. Yeah.

No, hang on, hang on, hang on.

Pete's got three shifts in a row.

Oh, yeah.

Here if you need.

You know, I still don't understand why she withdrew her application.

Maybe she just knows that you're more qualified for the job.

(STATIC)

You've gotta get better, mate.

We need you to get better.

So you can't do Saturdays?

I can do nights.

But Saturdays are a problem, yeah.

And Jack's just started training on Wednesdays,

so it'd be probably better...

Just make a wishlist. I'll see what I can do.

Thanks, boss.

And don't get too stressed out. You'll get used to it.

(STATIC)

It's bad timing. What?

Your sister's wedding.

I think you should give it a miss.

I'm serious.

I've got a bad feeling.

I didn't know you had any.

Feelings.

Well, it's more than a feeling.

It's... it's a knowing.

Mate. Stop talking shit.

It's not the first time it's happened.

And I've never been wrong.

You leave the house that day,

and something seriously bad is gonna happen.

This is my sister's wedding we're talking about.

And I'm best man.

I'm going.

Don't say you weren't warned.

The Pithi ceremony starts at six tomorrow.

And don't be late, because I need you to introduce people.

(COME ON EILEEN BY DEXYS MIDNIGHT RUNNERS PLAYS)

How's the job going?

Yeah.

Good.

And the speech?

I've, ah, got a bit of writer's block, but I'll get there.

Oh. No buts. Just do it.

Reni, I'll get it done.

Why did you invite Kareena to the Mehndi ceremony?

Because I ran into her one day and we got talking and,

you know, actually, I think Sanchi invited her.

Blame Sanchi. Seriously.

It's not about blame.

I just want to know why you asked her.

I just realised how much I missed her.

You get to know people

and then you don't see them anymore, you know?

It's sad.

Far as I know, she and David aren't coming to the wedding.

(SHORT BURST OF COME ON EILEEN PLAYS)

(SHOUTING)

(SHOUTING)

(COME ON EILEEN PLAYS QUIETLY)

You leave the house that day

and something seriously bad is gonna happen.

You know, I've been doing some reading and the more I read,

the more I realise

that as long as we're sticking to our little agreement,

this might actually be an amazing opportunity for growth and change.

How's it going, by the way?

The, um... the therapy?

Good.

Excellent.

Should have done it a long time ago.

Actually, I'm just heading there now.

Oh!

Hey, um...

I need someone to take Rod over for a blood test.

Linda, can you...? I'll do it.

Linda's busy with some... some things.

(HEAVY BREATHING)

Yes, yeah, right. Ah, now.

That's an infestation alright.

They don't call 'em the silent destroyers for nothing.

When can you start?

I'll come back.

Yeah, great.

Yeah.

WOMAN: Look at her. She's missing a tooth.

I brought up my daughters to be good wives.

And my Nikhil to be a good husband.

See?

This is Nikhil, at his baptismal ceremony.

How old were you?

11. 11.

You know, I wanted all of them to receive the gift of Jesus

into their lives, as I did.

Did the girls do this? No.

Only me. They refused.

But, you know, I can't refuse to be a part of this ceremony.

Mum.

I'm simply saying that this wedding will be hard for me.

Mum, please.

I'm not causing any trouble, Nikhil.

I'm just saying the worshipping of false idols is uncomfortable for me.

He knows. You've told him already.

See?

Another one of the baptismal ceremony.

Nikhil.

Look at you down at the river.

Look so happy.

I wasn't happy.

That's not true. Yeah, it is.

Is this the face of a boy who is unhappy?

Yes, it is.

I wanted the minister to hold my head under the water

until I drowned.

What was that about?

She's reinventing history.

Nik... Don't.

Oh, what, so you're allowed to be over her, but I'm not?

Not this close to the wedding.

Where are you going?

I've got stuff at work to finish, yeah?

You're coming back later, right? For dinner?

(STATIC)

Of course he is.

(FOOTSTEPS, BREATHING)

CHILD: (ECHOING) Nik. Nik.

Nik. Nik.

Nik.

Nik. Nik.

Nik.

Looks like someone shot you in the head, man.

(LAUGHS) Fuck off, Baz.

KAREENA: What? What?!

We split up because you slept with someone else.

You don't get to start that and not finish.

This conversation is over. (CAR BEEPS)

We both know that what I did wasn't the reason for our split.

You wanted out because I was never going to be good enough...

No, you wanted out.

Actually, you were never even really in it to begin with,

not completely.

How can you...

I loved you.

You know, what happened to us, it nearly killed me.

You... you had this dark, angry corner that you would go to

and I could never reach you.

(CAR CONTINUES BEEPING)

For fuck's sake, can you turn that off?

Talk about a dark, angry corner.

Hey.

It's not over between us.

You must know that.

Nik, I'm worried about you.

Why? Because you seem unhinged.

No.

I've never been saner in my life.

Hey...

..why did you tell Nik that you had a premonition

about the wedding?

What?

Well, it's just you give me such a hard time about my beliefs,

and it turns out that you've got some of your own.

What are you talking about?

You told him to stay at home.

No, I didn't!

I've never had a premonition in my bloody life,

let alone had a conversation about one.

OK. You win.

Mum can stay at mine.

What is it?

Dilshan would have been 28...

..if he was here.

I was thinking about Dad.

You know, getting the call and then coming to get us from school,

knowing what he was taking us to.

You weren't at school.

You didn't come in that day because you'd been sick.

Hang on.

You had asthma from the cane fire.

No, I... I thought I...

No-one told me.

I thought you knew.

(SIREN WAILS)

(CRIES)

Hey.

Be happy for me.

Leave the past behind.

Dilshan!
