Whoa! Did you see that? See
there's water, running water.

Polar molecules. H2O

You want to have a go?

A rock. A rock. Superman

Yeah. That's right. Krypton.

Kryptonite in flight. He's
probably got schizophrenia himself.

Right on the edge of

Now, uh... OK.

You want one that's
smooth and flat.

Well, that rock's got a tree on it,

Colin. I'm not Colin.

Not Colin. Sorry. Mr Invisible.

You have a turn.

Turn? Tony's turn on the

Your brother's not
coming today, mate.

Riddles and rhymes fuck
with their minds. (LAUGHS)

I've even got a pet
possum in my suitcase.

It sucks, I know,

but we're down here now
and we're gonna hang out.

Yeah?

See how many skips you can get.

Now, low and long.

Low in the flow,
on with the show.

OK. Well, that happens.

It takes a bit of practice.
But you'll get the hang of it.

Been here a few times
because of karma.

OK.

Watch this.

Alright.

Here we go.

Whoo-hoo-hoo-hoo!

Five skips!

You're my witness.

What have you got there?

(GASPS) Oh, it's gorgeous!

Oh, I love all

Tony. (LAUGHS)

(PIANO NOTES PLAY)

(LAUGHS) Alright.
Not you again, eh?

You arc up again and I swear...

Righto. Be a rude prick, then.

[COLLETTE] It's like he's a
new man. What did you do?

Got him to take his mind
off his brother, Tony.

I wish Tony wouldn't make
promises he can't keep.

Anyway, thank you.

'Cause, you know, this week, he's
been a little bit of a handful.

So it's...

(DOOR CLOSES)

Um... got something
I want to show you.

Yep? What?

Yep. Ready?

Whoo-hoo-hoo!

Oh, shit! You missed
it. Missed what?

I got five skips in a row.
Oh, I'm happy for you.

Seriously, it was a thing of
beauty. Yeah, I'm sure it was.

It's not the seven I got
on that Colo River trip,

but if it's YOUR
personal best, then...

Hey, well

any time you want to meet
me down at the creek,

you want to sort it
out once and for all.

I'm fine. Oh, yeah?

Was there anything else
that you needed or...

Uh... no.

No? No.

Well... right.

Congratulations.

(SIGHS AND CLEARS THROAT)

She really has crashed.

I reckon someone needs
to ride the lightning.

Oh, isn't your critical incident
review about to begin in a minute?

You should get
going. Waste of time.

Do you think it would help to
try and see it as an opportunity?

Well, no, 'cause it's not!

It could be a good chance to
give feedback to management.

Mmm. Could also be a chance for
Linda to stick the knife in.

I just... I really don't think that's
what it's about. It's a process!

It's a shit fight. Don't
listen to him. You'll be fine.

Oh, but take this.

(METAL JANGLES)

For strength and stability.

(LAUGHS)

Feeling confident,
then? (LAUGHS)

No, I am. It's just, with the...
with the trunk up, it's good luck.

(LAUGHS)

Thanks.

I'm sure we all agree that
the care of our clients

is central to our mission here.

[NIK] Yep. OK.

Now, we've interviewed the client
witnesses, and your colleagues,

just to try and get a... clear and
accurate picture of... what happened.

Mmm. [WOMAN] Yep.

Um, so this incident did result
in a significant injury, um,

and a visit to the
emergency department,

uh, and treatment for
a displaced humerus

and distended
glenohumeral ligaments.

Otherwise known as a
dislocated shoulder.

(SECTION FROM COME ON

[TREVOR] He fuckin' smashed her!
(SECTION FROM COME ON EILEEN PLAYS)

Nah, she had it coming, but.

So good! (LAUGHS)

[MAN] Our job now, Nik, is
to understand and review

the events that led
to the incident.

I think I covered everything
pretty well in my statement.

Well, the point is to
identify the problem,

[SONG] ♪ Come on, Eileen...
♪ and contributing factors,

so that similar incidents
don't happen again.

Mmm.

Let's break the incident
down into stages.

There weren't really stages. It...
it all happened in 30 seconds.

Got full-on pretty quick.

I... I mean, I tried to
calm shit down, but...

[COLLETTE] Tessa's physically

imposing and prone to

externalising her anger.

There's adaptive and
maladaptive anger, and, um

I'm afraid that Tessa's
is quite maladaptive.

OK - well, there were concerns
that, um, hospital protocol

wasn't being followed.

(SECTION FROM COME
ON EILEEN PLAYS)

Nik's an excellent nurse.

Best frontline staff
member, I have to be honest.

But

protocol's not his strong suit.

I'm good with protocol when
it's helping the patients.

You were off ward at the
time of the incident.

Did you sign out? SONG:
♪ Come on, Eileen... ♪

I told two of my colleagues
and I wasn't gone that long.

[LINDA] I could see
a situation brewing.

I thought I had the staff
in place to deal with it,

then I discovered...
he wasn't there.

♪ Oh, Eileen... ♪

On your return,
are you confident

that your assessment of the
situation, uh, was accurate?

I'm confident Tessa wanted
to rip Linda's head off.

Yeah. Yeah, yeah, I am.

Are you comfortable with the
amount of force that was used?

(SECTION FROM COME ON EILEEN
PLAYS) I didn't use force.

The client's dislocated shoulder
might indicate otherwise.

I didn't use force.

I put myself between a heavy
patient in motion and my boss.

I'm not here to criticise
Nik's actions. He defended me.

If anyone's to blame,
it's probably me.

[SONG] ♪ Oh, Eileen... ♪

[LINDA] Nik's impulse is
to jump in boots and all.

Call it a... hero complex.

I'm the nursing unit manager.

And I should have

We have information that your
approach is somewhat unorthodox.

I do what my patients need me to do.
(SECTION FROM COME ON EILEEN PLAYS)

WOMAN: There is a fine line between
instinctive and irresponsible.

I am not irresponsible.

I did my job.

That's it.

OK. Well, I think that's
enough information to go on.

Thank you. Yeah.

Um, in the meantime, uh, your nurse
unit manager, uh, Linda Crowley,

uh, has suggested
that all Ward C staff

should, uh, do a retraining
course in control and restraint.

Which we think would
be an excellent idea.

Mmm. Yes, a good
team-building exercise.

It's not right.

Here they are. Alright.

Let's get this roll marked off
so we can get stuck into it, eh?

[BOTH] Fuck.

Alright. So, how do nonviolent
crisis intervention techniques work?

By engaging with the client before
the situation gets out of hand.

Now, sometimes
that's... Where's Linda?

Easier said than done.

Where's Collette?

But it's on us to

to keep our cool and
maintain level heads.

Now, if things do escalate...

Hey!

It's important that we can
secure the distressed person

without imposing
any pain or injury.

Hm. Don't know why I haven't
thought of that before.

"I don't know. What do we do?"

Key take-out of this being
that even if we do have to

put our hands on a client, we're
always calm and in control.

You know what I'm saying, Nik?

Mmm? Oh.

I think you're saying that
dislocating a patient's shoulder

is a less-than-desirable
outcome.

Hm.

And I think that you think that
this is all a waste of your time.

Relearning what I already know?

Yeah, you could say
it's a waste of my time.

Mmm. Management think otherwise.

Maybe they're more
concerned that getting sued

is a less-than-desirable
outcome.

Oh, not a fan of the system, eh?

Yeah. Oh, OK.

If you don't like it,
change it. There's the door.

Good morning to you too.

I thought the retraining session
was supposed to be for everyone.

If you ever find yourself
in a leadership role,

you'll learn that events have a habit
of overtaking the best-laid plans.

Still not quite sure
what the problem was.

Let's just say you're going
to get a call later today

confirming the CIR's been
resolved in your favour.

[MAN] Oh, I love nurses.

Yeah, my mum was a nurse.

Hard workers.

Actually, I'm a
nursing unit manager.

NUM. Mmm.

Ah. Which hospital?

Wakefield.

What, the nuthouse
up in the mountains?

Ha! Oh, I'm allowed to say
that because I've been in one.

Yeah. I mean, all behind me
now, though. Yeah. (LAUGHS)

Not much difference between the
staff and patients in those places.

Oh, except where you're
concerned, of course.

(LAUGHS)

Thought that's what
you meant. Yeah.

Saved myself there, didn't I?

Only just.

(LINDA LAUGHS)

[MAN] Can't believe you grew
up in Mildura. (POURS WINE)

I lived there for 10 years.

And you actually
like board games?

I'm an addict.

Yeah, we got a lot in
common so far. Mmm.

Yeah, and not just things
we like. Things we hate.

(LAUGHS) Sport. Cats.

Bananas. Eugh!
Disgusting things.

Mmm. Mmm.

So.

What's a nice guy like you
doing still on his own?

(LAUGHS)

Oh, look, it's just the
way things worked out.

I was engaged once. Oh.

Yeah.

Uh, but my mum was diagnosed
with motor neurone disease

and, uh, I wasn't gonna have her in
some institution, so... I moved home.

Is that right? Yeah. (SIGHS)

But my fiancee... Well,
you're not gonna believe th...

Sorry. (LAUGHS) Sorry.

Yeah, go on. Yep.

I was just gonna say, my fiancee
wasn't really cut out for it.

Yeah. Not exactly
the caring type.

She left? Yeah. Fair enough.

I mean, she wanted to marry
me, not my invalid mother.

Anyway, Mum held
on for 15 years.

Yeah, she only passed
away earlier this year.

Oh. Mmm.

So, my days of being
a bloody saint.

(GLASSES CLINK) are
officially over. (LAUGHS)

God, I dreamt about
that for years.

You know, what
I'd do once she...

I always thought I'd go and
live somewhere exotic, you know?

Like Paris. Have
you been to Paris?

I haven't. Oh, incredible place.

Just ama...

Sorry. Here's me jabbering
on. Um, you were gonna say...?

I've, um

forgotten.

Oh. Poof! (LAUGHS)

Completely gone out
of my head. (LAUGHS)

Shall we?

Uh, yeah.

[MAN] She has so much pain.

Sofija, my wife.
This is her name.

[COLLETTE] Oh. It's
beautiful, isn't it?

She's stopped e-eating now.

Ice-cream is the only thing.

She loves the ice-cream.

So I... I go... I
go to the market,

and when I come out, that's
the first time I see... see it.

My windscreen is
completely smashed. Oh!

Glass everywhere, on
the bonnet, on the seat.

Then the police,
and they tell me

someone was thinking that I'm trying
to take someone else's parking spot.

But I didn't see anyone.

I did honk, and I was waiting
there in plain sight...

Linda... with my blinker on.

Linda, I'm going to stop you there.
I'm sorry, but he just walked away.

Well, I... I didn't hear you.

I think you're forgetting that the
purpose of this part of the process

is that... Petrov
express his feelings

about the attack on his car.

There are feelings on both sides.
I am sure, and we will get to that.

But right now, we're
focusing on Petrov.

How about you tell us what
you've heard from him so far?

From what I can make
out, he was shopping...

You can address Petrov
directly. He's right here.

For

your wife, was it?

And there was something
about her being a pain.

I didn't say Sofija's a pain.

I-I-I said she is IN pain.

Linda, I would counsel
you to be very mindful

about what brought
us all here today.

(GRUNTS)

[LINDA] I really
can't afford this.

And I certainly can't
afford it to go to court.

It's going to court.

You can expect a good
behaviour bond and a fine.

I'm in the middle of
applying for my own job,

job I've been doing
very well, and

going to court
wouldn't help my cause.

Is there nothing else we can do?

Because, I mean

without that extra money,

it's not just me
who'd be affected.

Well, we could apply
for a section 10,

which would allow the
court to find you guilty

with no conviction recorded.

We'd have to demonstrate the
financial hardship that may result.

It will result.

And, uh, request a restorative
justice conciliation,

uh, where you look to negotiate
some kind of payment plan.

Alright.

But the mediator and the
victim have to be satisfied

that you understand the
impact of what you've done

and be convinced of the
depth of your remorse.

Alright. OK.

If you want to go this way, we'll
need some character references...

That's fine.

And a support person
to accompany you.

Oh, I can manage, thanks. I
don't need a support person.

It's a prerequisite -
um, someone who knows you

who can speak to
your good character.

[COLLETTE] A friend put me on
to it. Talk about life-saving.

I don't know what I
did before kombucha.

You can really feel
the anti-oxidants

just hunting down the
free radicals, you know?

Goodness! Mmm.

You're right. This tea is
amazing. Thought you'd like it.

Now, as for the probiotics, well,
I've never been more regular.

The colour of my stools,
their consistency.

Sounds like a
must-try. But look.

There's something else I wanted
to have a quiet word about.

A personal favour
I'd like to ask.

A tyre iron?

Really?

Of course, it's completely
out of character.

Just a... moment of madness.

(GRUNTS)

(BREATHES SHAKILY)

Every day is hard.

It must be so difficult.

And now... now, Sofija,

they say they can't
do anything anymore.

So the doctors, they
just don't care!

You poor things.

I-I try to help her.

I-I try to make her life as
comfortable, uh, uh, as possible.

So... so I... I go out and...
you know, that's what I... I see.

The car, smashed
glass everywhere.

Yes. You've said that.

[WOMAN] Please.

Petrov, go on.

[PETROV] But I... I
think to myself, uh,

"Is it an accident?"

"A... a... a crash?"

No!

No, someone must do
this. [COLLETTE] Oh.

Who... who would do
something like this?

Some kind of animal!

Getting personal isn't
gonna help anyone.

It is personal. My wife is
dying. I've never met your wife.

I'm sure she's lovely, though.

[WOMAN] Linda.

[PETROV[ You've stopped
me from helping her.

I-I... I had to go back and
she didn't know where I was.

And her ice-cream is... is
melt. [COLLETTE] Oh, Petrov.

Here you go. (SOBS) Thank you.

Right now would be a good
time for a little break.

[LINDA] Yeah.

(SOBS)

It's... it's... it's melt.

Oh... And...

(FOOTSTEPS APPROACH)

Poor old Petrov. He's
such an old sweetie.

That was a nasty little dig he
made about the medical profession.

I'm not sure he
meant it that way.

He's just... just having
a bit of a hard time.

He's certainly
Maria's favourite.

She's not playing
favourites, is she?

Yeah.

Probably right.

It's just me.

I don't

find it easy to trust people.

Mmm.

That's a big one for all of us.

Wish more people were like you.

Don't say things like
that. You'll make me cry.

You've got a kindness most
people can't touch, Collette.

Well, tell my kids that.

Sometimes it seems
like I'm the enemy.

Us single mums got to
stick together, huh?

Just have to hope this

Maria signs off on this or
I'll have to go to court,

and if that happens.

I really don't
know what I'll do.

Sorry.

Don't listen to me. I
shouldn't have said that.

We'll muddle through.

I think you should
say something.

Petrov's got a sick wife.
Why don't you mention Beth?

Because it's not relevant.

Well, I actually
think it IS relevant.

I disagree. You are
under a lot of pressure.

No. No.

I won't.

The first thing I should say is

thank you for agreeing to this.

I'm sorry about your wife.

(PETROV CLEARS THROAT)

I don't know if
you know this, but.

Collette and I are nurses.

It's a job I care
very deeply about.

She really does.

I'm telling you this
because on the day of the

incident,

I was under quite
a lot of pressure,

partly because I'm currently being
forced to reapply for my own job.

But... wait. Wait. Wait a
minute. You... you were shopping.

What has it got to
do with your job?

I was at the supermarket because
it was a colleague's birthday

and no-one had thought to
organise a cake for her.

I didn't really have the
time, so when you took

the spot I was waiting for...

He said he didn't see you.

Or hear the horn.

I understand.

I was in my head too. (SIGHS)

I... didn't get much
sleep the night before.

That happens a lot, actually.

LINDA: So

when you accidentally took
my disabled spot, I saw red,

But I should never have behaved
like that. There's no excuse.

It's not strictly true. But
you... you... you're not disabled.

Why... why do you... why
do you need the spot?

She has a disabled
daughter... Collette.

Who has severe spina bifida.

You need to tell them.
Beth is a part of this.

No, she's not.

You are under so much
strain all of the time.

You're taking care
of her by yourself.

She's my daughter.
She's not an excuse.

I lashed out.

Beth's not part of this.

Sorry.

You OK?

(DOOR OPENS)

Please.

Thank you.

Did she like it?

Excuse me?

The cake. The girl at work.
Did... did she like it?

You know, it was a
very nice thing to do,

giving her the... the birthday.

I didn't mean to make
things worse for you.

Looks to me like we've all
come quite a ways today.

Thank you, Petrov.

Well, it's been a bit
of a funny way to meet,

but it has been so nice.

Oh!

You take care of yourself,
yeah? And Sofija.

Well, we can't have
anyone left out. (LAUGHS)

Oh, oh, oh, I almost
forgot. (LAUGHS)

One last thing.

Um.

The payment plan
for Petrov's car.

Just...

See? If you let people in,
good things can happen.

Was good of you to be here.

Oh, don't be silly.
(CAR UNLOCKS)

I knew I'd be safe
coming to you because

I know you won't breathe
a word of this to anyone.

Oh.

God, no, of course not.

Oh!

If we get a move on, we can still
make the retraining session.

I was thinking we
could grab a coffee.

Oh.

Well

I'd love that.

Great.

though, you know.

Don't say that.

I think it'll be good luck.

And it's the only thing
we've got left from India.

(WATER RUSHES)

(SHOUTING)

(SCREAMING)

Um.

Not the only thing.

I found this.

Do you think our family
will ever feel right again?

You know, uh, whole?

(PHONE BUZZES AND RINGS)

Hi.

[WOMAN] Help! Get me out of here!
Tried bloody Linda. Not answering.

Only rosters two of us
on for this whole joint.

Got three patients
under special obs...

[RAFF] G-Gen. Please. Gen. Gen.
[GENEVIEVE] I don't want to be here!

Gen, stop hitting your
head. Gen, stop. Stop.

Shh. Shut the fuck up!

Hey! Hey, hey.
Tessa, ease up, OK?

Hey, I'll sort it.
Get them out of here.

If I was a dog, you would shoot me!
Babe, your head, OK? Just let the...

Get away! NIK: Genevieve.

You have to give me something!
You gotta make this stop!

We'll get you something to help
when you let us look at that cut

and that bloody nose.

(SOBS) What brought this on?

She just started remembering all the
stuff that she's... that she did.

Why didn't you stop
me?! I tried, Gen.

Hey. Hey. You've got to cut yourself
some slack. You weren't well.

But everybody knows what I
did, all of them out there.

Who cares? No, I do!

No-one. I care!

(SOBS)

Why do you stay with me?

'Cause I love ya.

What is wrong with you?

You are pathetic!

Ah!

Pathetic! Get away!
Hey, hey, hey! Hey! No!

Hey.

Don't do that.

(SOBS)

I can't stand this anymore.

I know. I know.

And we're gonna help you.

(SOBS)

(GROANS)

(SIGHS)

She's never been this bad.

(SIGHS)

She... yeah.

She says things, does things.

She doesn't mean them.

She's suffering, I know.

But that doesn't mean she
gets to treat you that way.

(SHOES TAP) [JESHNA]
Get him to stop!

[FATHER] Leave the boy alone,
Jeshna. He's just practising.

[JESHNA] Stop it! Stop
it! Stop that noise!

Stop it! Stop it!

Stop it! Stop!
Stop! Jeshna! Stop!

No! Stop! Please!

Don't do that. Please.

[RAFF] Shock therapy?
[KAREENA] It's not uncommon.

Oh, God.

It's OK. Babe.

I can't believe you're
even suggesting...

This part of Genevieve's
cycle is treatment-resistant.

[RAFF] Well, increase the
drugs. Try a different one.

This is what I'm saying
I've increased her meds

as much as she can tolerate.

ECT is the best
treatment we have.

It's barbaric. No,
mate. It's not.

It's safe, it's painless and
it's incredibly effective.

[RAFF] She's not having it.

[NIK] We're not talking about One
Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest here.

The treatment's moved
way beyond that.

[RAFF] She said no.

No, I didn't.

I just don't know

what it is or what it does.

[NIK] We can take
you through it all.

[KAREENA] Gen, I know
that you're scared,

but this is the fastest way I
know to make you feel better.

Please let me help you.

(SNIFFS AND SOBS)

Still here? Oh.

Uh

I didn't have a
chance to have dinner.

I'm starving.

There's something I want to ask you,
and there's no easy way to do it,

so I-I'm just going to ask.

Um... OK.

Is there any chance you've
still got my mum's ring?

No.

I just thought it could have ended
up in your stuff when we, uh...

No.

I didn't think so.

Uh... but Reni wants
it as her wedding ring.

OK. I can't find it. So...

Well, I don't...
I don't have it.

If you could have a look?

Um...

Yeah. Of course. I
can do that. Yeah.

Thanks. It's fine.

Sorry.

Wasn't ALL bad, was it?

No, it wasn't.

Goodnight. 'Night. Goodnight.

Don't worry. I'll stay with her.

(EQUIPMENT BEEPS)

[NIK] Hey.

Went well.

I'm outta here.

Alright. Well... good luck,
hey? I don't need any luck.

I just need the jokers out
there to get off my back!

Uh, Zelco?

(CLEARS THROAT)

You need a hand, Zelco?

Yeah, I... I need youse guys to mark
the exits on this joint properly.

'Cause what are you gonna
do if there's a fire?

You're right. Um... I'll
get some more signs.

Um, in the meantime, your exit,
down the hall, turn right.

Troy'll let you out.

Wake up to yourselves!

Thanks for the feedback.
