Oh, God, I can't face Reni.

I totally messed that middle bit up.

Yeah, you and me both.

You didn't get a step wrong.

Yeah, well, I think I did.

Not from where I was standing.

Knew you'd be a hot dancer.

Underselling yourself, as usual.

Don't you start. Sorry.

You've been hanging around my family too long.

I feel a bit like a naughty schoolgirl in here.

(CHUCKLES)

You smashed it, guys!

Thank you. Mwah!

Thank you.

I think we got it right.

Yeah. Yeah, I think we did.

You wanna do it again?

Sure. Yeah.

Renuka?

Oh, not too much of that, OK?

Mmm. Mm-hm-hm. I mean it!

Come on.

(ELECTRO DANCE MUSIC PLAYS)

Bring it in, Dad.

Ah, my son!

(INDI-POP MUSIC PLAYS)

Why do you feel you have to sell this to me?

Because, Rajah, you don't know Jesus.

Look, I have my own relationship with God.

If I want to talk to Jesus, I just pick up the phone.

Please, please, don't talk nonsense.

Let's go. (LAUGHS)

Men do it too.

It's fun and it keeps you super fit.

Alright, well, uh, I'll take your word for it.

Oh, come on, where's your sense of adventure?

It doesn't extend to pole dancing.

Unless I find a mankini in the right colour.

Now that I'd pay to see.

This food is really good.

Here, have some naan.

No, good, good.

You know this chef is moonlighting here from his job in Bilco.

Bilco? That's like the Badlands.

There's nothing bad about him, I tell you.

Do you know how hard it is to find a decent vegetarian chef

in this country?

In fact, uh...

..Pallavi tracked him down.

Now there's a woman who really knows her food.

You know, Renuka told me

that her husband passed away year before last.

Sadly.

Your turn to babysit Mum.

Oh! Leave her, Sanchi. Leave her. We can't, Dad. She's...

I agree. Let Jeshna be Jeshna.

People have to manage themselves. OK.

Yeah, we promised Reni that we'd keep an eye on her.

What do you think?

Of what?

My chances?

I'm not getting involved.

Nik, you must. You are my wing man.

Oh, God.

You don't need one.

He's right. You don't.

Just give the girl a clear signal.

How long is it since you've been to India?

There are so many Gods and all of them have...

No, no. That's where you are mistaken, Gita.

There is only one God.

One Jesus Christ. Mum?

Gita was admiring my cross

and I was just telling her about...

Um, excuse us?

Yeah, sure.

We talked about this.

What have you done?

(SCREAMS) What have you done?!

Gita was admiring my cross and I was telling her...

Uh, excuse us?

We talked about this.

Come on, let's get you some food.

Cheese!

OK, OK, one more, one more.

Cheese!

Ooh!

Think you've had enough. Mm?

No, no. No more for me, thanks.

One more won't hurt.

Yeah, but my sister will if I stuff up my speech.

(LAUGHS)

Doesn't make sense.

What? You.

Why you're on your own.

I'm OK with it.

Well, you shouldn't be.

You deserve to be happy.

The pursuit of happiness is a trap.

What? Says who? My dad.

Well, I bet he won't say that if he gets into Pallavi's pants.

(LAUGHS)

I mean it, Nik.

You deserve to be happy.

You're a good person. I'm just a person.

No, you're a good person.

Look at what you do.

How close you are to your family.

I want you to repeat after me.

"I am a good person."

Come on.

"I am a good person."

(DISTANTLY) Come on.

"I am a good person."

"I am a good person."

You know what?

No. I'm not gonna do that.

Yes, you are. Come on, let's hear it.

(LOUDLY) I said no.

OK.

Fine. Just... leave it.

Sounds pretty weird. Come on!

This was straight from the astrologist.

As of today, the 19th, it's risk adverse.

Ayaan refuses to dance.

I wish he'd loosen up.

Do you think he was trying to follow you and Reni?

Who?

Dilshan.

Uh, follow us where?

To school.

Nik, I don't understand. What are you...

What are you talking about?

He used to put his little feet

in my oversized school shoes, right?

Yep.

And Reni told me he used to cry when we left for school each day.

(CRIES)

Yes.

But why are you bringing this up now?

What are you doing?

I'm trying to get things straight.

Now? Today?

Maybe he was trying to follow you to school that day

and that's how he fell in.

Fell in? Fell in where?

The river.

I don't...

Dilshan drowned in the bath.

Nik, you knew this.

No.

I didn't.

But how would you...

Why would... why would you think...

I don't know.

I-I don't... I don't... know.

So... Nik.

What happened? Please.

Where was Mum?

Where was Mum?

Please, just don't do this now... Don't do what?

Dance with me, my beautiful wife.

Come on, babe. It's our day. Come and dance.

(CRIES)

(SIREN WAILS)

(COME ON EILEEN BY DEXYS MIDNIGHT RUNNERS PLAYS)

(MUSIC STOPS)

You playing hard to get?

Uh, n-no.

Then what was all that about?

Look, uh, nothing. Look...

Reni said you were single. What?

What do you actually want, Nik?

Where's all this going?

Georgi, uh, I'm sorry, I can't...

Just let it go.

Whatever it is that's stopping you from getting what you want.

What is it you think I want?

You want to pole dance.

Nik?

Bro, can you lighten up?

You're upsetting Reni. She'll be fine...

I don't want that for her today.

OK?

Yeah. Thanks, bro.

(CHUCKLES) Ah, here is my wing man.

Such a happy day. Oh, Nikhil, such a happy day.

Now, listen, why don't you call Georgi a taxi

and make sure she gets home safely?

Because she's not my responsibility.

No, but you've spent the best part of the day with her.

It's a nice thing to do, no?

Listen, come and meet Pallavi. I want you to...

No.

What?

Dad, um...

..I need to ask you something.

I've always thought that I was at school the day Dilshan died...

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Where are you going with this?

But Reni told me I was at home.

That I was sick. You were sick. You had asthma.

But, Nikhil, this is not the time to talk about it.

Why did you lie?

Lie?

You let me believe that I was at school,

that he drowned in a river.

Nikhil, I have never lied to you.

We didn't know what you thought or didn't think...

No, no, no... ..what you knew...

You knew what I thought.

Why didn't you set me straight?

What difference does this make now? Please.

Well, the difference is I was at home when Dilshan died.

Why are you doing this?

Because something doesn't feel right. It's your sister's wedding day.

What did you say to Georgi?

Nothing.

Look at her.

GEORGI: I'm really trying here.

No, don't do... Reni, I...

She's my best friend. Nikhil...

She's had too much to drink.

Nikhil will put her in a taxi and send her home, OK?

No, Dad, it's not my responsibility. Georgi's not going anywhere.

Stop it!

Both of you.

Enough.

Sorry, Pallavi.

(CHUCKLES) Ah, kids.

What can you do? What can you do?

Hey!

One, it's inappropriate,

and two, it's getting repetitive.

Change it, or turn it down!

Nik. Nik! What are you doing?

You know, I always thought that he fell in the river.

Oh, God. Why didn't they tell me?

Maybe they thought you knew. Reni and I knew.

No, I just asked him, and he shut me down.

Nik, please.

How can I not come to the conclusion

that something bad happened, and I saw it?

Something bad did happen.

Mum left our little brother in the bath and he drowned.

She was so fucked up by what she did,

she didn't want to live anymore.

You're a psychiatric nurse.

What don't you understand about that?

WOMAN: Ah! (LAUGHTER)

Please, Nik.

Let me go.

Stop. I want to talk to her.

Nikhil, no. Stop. Let me talk to Mum.

Nikhil, no, you will not spoil your sister's wedding.

What did you do to Dilshan? Mum! Mum, let's go.

Nikhil, come!

No, no, you will not spoil this... What'd you do to Dilshan?

Hey, hey, you said you'd stop.

Just because your wedding didn't happen,

doesn't mean you have the licence to fuck up everyone else's.

Nikhil, come.

What did I see?

What did I see? OK, come on. Let's go. Out!

(YELLS) What did I see? Not today.

Nikhil, come on. Come on, get out.

What did I see?

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

Mum, let's go.

(ALL SCREAM)

RENI: Oh, my wedding!

Oh, hey, Nik.

Ivy. Hey.

I almost didn't recognise you.

Uh, it's, uh, my sister's wedding, so...

Oh, wow.

How are ya? I'm good. I'm good.

I'm great, actually.

Oh, you want this, don't you? Hey?

How's Ward C?

Yeah, yeah, all good.

I'm still seeing Doctor Wells, but at her private rooms.

Except for yesterday. She stood me up.

Yeah, yeah, she does that.

(QUIETLY) Are you OK?

Yeah.

Yeah, I... I think so.

Just...

I've just got family shit going on, you know?

Do you wanna... do you wanna sit down?

No. Grab a coffee or something?

No.

Oh, Nik, you're really worrying me.

No need. No need.

I'm Nursing Unit Manager now, so...

..I've gotta get back.

OK. Well, take care, yeah?

Yeah.

You too.

But he can't kick you out of your sister's wedding.

Well, you know, apparently he can, so...

Well, is that what Reni wanted? Like...

What did you do that was so offensive?

Asked too many questions. About what?

Collette, don't worry about it.

I went to the ceremony.

But it's ridiculous! Like, you're her brother.

Like, you're the best man.

You know, I reckon Omar's getting better.

He's, um, he's making eye contact. Have you noticed?

No. No, I can't say I have.

Well, I reckon I can see signs of improvement.

Is she here?

She's taken leave.

Oi. Nik!

Check this out.

It's for Nadia. What do you reckon?

Hang on, Trev. How long for?

Until Friday.

What do you reckon?

It's like a butterfly.

Nice work, yeah. Yeah.

Hey, can you do something for me?

Can... can you give it to her?

Just come and see me later. And I'll... I'll...

What?

And you'll fuckin' what?

Aren't you on close obs?

I swapped with Pete.

Why?

Because he... Leave him.

I'll do it.

(PANTS)

(PHONE RINGS)

(PHONE VIBRATES)

Do you see what I mean about Omar?

Not really, no.

Nothing huge. Just, you know, a little bit more movement.

Tiniest bit of light in his eyes.

You know, maybe she actually enjoys it.

What?

Omar's state of dependency.

Who?

Oh, Linda?

That way, she can control him.

Shh, shh.

You're sure you don't want to go back to the wedding?

Just try and sort things out? Yeah, very.

Very sure.

Well, their loss.

There's five different kinds of superhero locked up in this box.

I don't think she likes people touching it.

(WHISPERS) I don't think she likes it at all.

Hey, give us my phone?

What for?

A text message. Just one.

Well, you've already texted her approximately 10 times this week.

Yeah, well, what's it to you?

One. One message, promise.

I... I think you might have trouble

accepting that she just might not be...

Just what's it to you?

To my mind, it's tantamount to stalking.

Are you for fuckin' real? Trevor.

She hasn't replied to any of your messages.

Well, you following people around with a stupid notebook...

Which might indicate that she's just not...

Can you just fuck off? Hey!

..interested.

Thanks, Cath. No-one gives a shit what you think.

Thanks, Cath, I'll take it from here. Dumb bitch!

Hey, hey, hey, calm down. Calm down. I mean it, yeah?

Just, I just need to get it to her, man.

Right, just get outside. Go. Go. Go!

17, 18, 19, 20.

(GRUNTS)

Stay there.

Chill out.

It's fuckin' bullshit, man!

What's bullshit?

All I wanted to do was send a message to a friend.

Is this the girl you've been texting all week?

Yeah.

'Cause I wanted to send her this.

Do you think she's into you?

Yeah.

Yeah, I think, you know.

Or do you just...

..you want her to be into you?

Because if she's not responding to your messages,

she probably isn't.

Yeah, nah, she just needs to give me a chance.

You know? And then... Yeah, I... I get it.

I just don't think that you're seeing things as they are.

You don't want to make the same mistakes I did.

Hey, you want this?

Sure.

Hey, uh, you're not still up for it, are ya?

That'd be a no.

(CRIES) All I'm trying to do is help people.

Why don't you start focussing on yourself?

Because I can see things they can't.

But how can I get through to them

if they won't listen?

Oi! Think you'll be done in there by Christmas or what?

(CRIES) Cath, yeah, just hang on. Hang on.

Pete? Pete, listen.

Trevor lost it with Cath.

She's really upset and I'm...

Uh... can you sort her out?

Please? I'm on close obs. Can't.

Where the fuck's Linda?

I'm really hesitant to say anything, as you can imagine,

but in all good conscience,

I don't think I have a choice.

Who does that?

All that work.

Someone just jumps in and... And does the best bit.

Tessa, Tessa, Tessa, Tessa.

It's OK.

Let's just finish it.

I'm working it through. I'm working it through.

I've been doing, um, Trevor's pain from A to Z, and I've got E.

E.

E is for excruciating, but I can't get F.

F is for... F is for...

Fragile! That's it.

Fragile.

You see, Nik, you see here, I have this whole section

is for patients and I have another section here is for ward systems.

That's very impressive. Thank you.

This one is for ward systems, the comings and goings.

So I have to...

Linda.

Can I have a look?

Oh, uh, no.

This book has very confidential information...

Please, I need to check something.

OK.

Here. Well, there's, um...

There's an index at the front and I also numbered the pages, so...

What's this?

Ah, that's Omar's ECT. Mm.

What about it?

Well, these are the times he went,

and this is the time he returned

and that's the orderly who took him.

Does that say Linda?

Yes, yes. L. L.

L is for Linda because, um, she was the one who took him.

How long has she been taking him?

Well, there's an index at the front.

Let me just show you... No, no, no, no, no.

Just how long has she been taking him to ECT herself?

What's in it for you?

Sorry?

What's in it for you

to keep Omar in a helpless state?

What?

Why have you been taking him to ECT?

Why not an orderly?

Maybe because I care?

Or maybe because you haven't been taking him to ECT at all.

Which would explain why he's not getting better.

That is ridiculous.

Is it?

I'm a nurse.

How dare you accuse me of such a thing?

How could you think I would do that?

Because I know how twisted you are.
