Original subtitles

They call me Dr Worm.

Good morning. How are you?

I'm Dr Worm.

I'm interested in things

I'm not a real doctor,

But I am a real worm.

I am an actual worm.

I live like a worm.

I like to play the drums.

I think I'm getting good,

But I can handle criticism.

I'll show you what I know.

Oh.

Ah.

I'm only calling to say, I'm still here.

Good, mum. Excellent effort.

Yeah, for the moment.

How anyone can choose to endure like this.

- Yeah. It's gonna to be a hot one. - Should probably turn on the aircon.

- Oh, should I? - I hadn't thought of that.

If you could find it within yourself to pop up here for a few minutes.

- Hey, has the coroner been in yet? - Later today.

It's pretty self-explanatory.

Oh Jesus, Beth.

Hello?

Kate?

Hello?

I'm still here.

We will neither hasten nor prolong death.

I need to talk to you.

Now that is the underpinning, the central tenet, the heartbeat

of palliative care.

Now, anyone know, actually what the fuck it means?

It had to happen to one of us first.

It just happened to be me.

But you're not, like, super-developed.

My sister, she got hair...

I can show you the blood if you need evidence.

You should all take a few, in case we're in sync.

Ladies, I can't be any clearer.

If you don't have a note from your parent or guardian

you're getting in the water.

We're menstruating.

Then you're all on detention.

You're punishing us?

We will not apologise for our bodies.

We can bleed! We can bleed! We can bleed!

We can bleed! We can bleed! We can bleed!

We can bleed! We can bleed! We can...

PSA, there was an accident in there this morning.

It's not always this empty.

I'm Pamela, by the way.

Edie.

- Yeah. Grapevine. - How're you finding the place?

Heaven on earth.

With cockroaches that want to kill you.

I suppose they could... if you swallowed one,

if it crawled into your mouth while you were sleeping.

Bit of extra protein.

Oh, God. This bloody country.

No offence.

Oh, we are but convicts and savages.

You homesick?

There are some quality people if you wade through the crap.

Dawn, Queen Bee of the pearl necklace set,

she'll put you through your paces.

But if you want it badly enough

personally I'd rather be stung by actual bees,

but the allure of gated community power.

I didn't mean to scare you off.

No, it's the sun.

Are you worried about skin cancer?

I shouldn't have confiscated it.

I mean, legally it's their property.

Now don't fixate on the Nembutal.

The family's not going to sue you for that.

They're going to sue you for not ordering a Psych Eval.

Yes, I know. I know. I should have.

So, how'd you write it up?

Ah, ideation, some emotional distress.

- I just kept it... - Vague is good.

The Coroner is going to be good. It's all good.

Why don't I come this afternoon and stop the little pricks

from burning you at the stake?

- That'd be great, thanks. - So, am I taking you to lunch?

You've got your ducklings.

Oh, I am at serious risk of shagging an under-graduate,

which you are not allowed to do anymore,

but no, seriously, look at the pics that they send me?

I don't want see that.

Alright. So, soon though, yeah?

Kate?

It's going to be OK.

You got a little too close this time.

Yeah.

Kate speaking.

Right.

The maintenance guy's still scooping.

It would have shot the filter system.

And I will pay for any and all damage.

So, if that's it...

I think, Mr Cutler, you found this confronting.

Look, Mrs Brennan...

Dr Brennan. Or Kate.

Look, I'm not squeamish.

The fact is your daughter's a bully.

I know your husband's got his own issues, but she needs discipline.

Thank you, Mr Cutler.

No, no, I appreciate the insight into what my daughter needs

and if we ever need someone to come over and be a man,

I will keep you in mind.

I remember grazing my knee at Little Aths.

I might have gotten confused with some of the blood there.

Or do you think I'm acting out because Dad's in jail

and you're pretending he never existed?

Seph, I need you to work with me.

I can't afford therapy for both of you.

I know that's unfair, but that's just the way it is. OK?

Absolutely.

If that finger so much as touches that nose...

Oh, good. You're here. I need to talk to a solicitor.

We've got to get the money back on this place.

Ew, Nanna, you're all gross and sticky.

I thought you two could dress a tree.

You're not listening.

It's five-star, mum. It's a resort.

It's not just the place, it's the people.

Well, a chance to branch out.

Listen, I'm going to be back in a couple of hours.

- Oh. Free babysitting, I see. - That's the point of me.

Yes, that is my ulterior motive to exploit you. Elder abuse.

Listen.

I don't want the girls relying on me.

For their sakes.

Because you're not long for this world?

I'm serious. I don't want them to get attached.

- I have to go to work now. - You need to take the Zoloft.

It only works if you take it.

- Please, don't go. Don't go. - Don't leave me alone with her.

My God, I'm not asking you to bake scones.

Just be a fucking grandmother.

Why's it so hot in here?

Leave that. It doesn't work.

Got him.

We've now arrived at Beth's advice from beyond the grave.

Oh.

Life lesson number one: Wear a bikini now.

This is as good as you'll ever look.

Life lesson number two: Nah, that's all I've got. Just wear a bikini.

Were we too sure of the sun?

If you need to, keep time on me.

If you need to, keep time on me...

Why do you keep it in there?

I like it cold.

Doesn't water freeze?

Nanna, when did you start menstruating?

Nice girls don't talk about things like that.

Oberon was eleven.

That's when he started cutting himself

and wearing cardigans in the summer.

We would've put him on the puberty blocking hormones back then,

but Mum really dropped the ball.

Persephone, would you go out and play, please?

But I have to look after you.

Out! I have a headache.

Look! Bless.

I'm just a fatty looking for love.

No. Wedding ring. Four kids.

Always the ones in the closet, bae.

Adorably pre-Grindr vintage.

- And hello there Tiny Gaysian! - Right on time.

That's three for three.

You have a gift.

You're Nostradamus.

I have sixth sense... and I sense that it's time for...

Where'd you get those?

Mark has a friend.

Shit.

Hi, honey. Sorry just checking, did you take your pill?

Yeah, Kate. I took them.

Oh, good.

You sound good. Is it a good day today?

- Yeah. I got to go. - Gotta learn big things.

Bye!

What happened to it?

- Dismal failure. - I'm an arranger of skin.

Taxidermy. It's a passion.

I was defrosting and must have forgot.

Left him in the sun too long.

My dog kills possums to assert dominance.

Smart dog.

The ancient Egyptians believed a soul could live forever

if only it could find its body after death.

So, embalming became essential in order to live forever.

This is the best room I've ever seen.

Do you have to wait for them to die of natural causes?

Of course.

Taxidermists are animal lovers, not murderers.

- Must take a lot of patience... - waiting.

Go on and close the curtains.

'Cause all we need is candlelight.

You and me, and a bottle of wine.

To hold you tonight.

Well we know I'm going away.

And how I wish, I wish I wasn't.

So take this wine and drink with me.

And let's delay our misery.

Save tonight and fight the break of dawn.

Come tomorrow, tomorrow I'll be gone.

Save tonight and fight the break of dawn.

Come tomorrow, tomorrow I'll be gone.

As long as it's attached, I don't care.

OK. No. If you can design it, you have a duty.

Alright. I'm thinking eight inches, straight with a slight curvature.

Black.

Yes. OK. You're having a black cock.

I'm going to donate my womb to a woman in need.

OK. Fuck off with the women in need.

Donate it to me then you and I can have a baby together.

With my black cock and your womb?

We'd be the greatest parents.

Mark wants to see me.

Am I too fucked or just fucked enough?

OK. Listen, listen, listen.

There'll be a bus here in 12 and a half minutes.

You should keep your womb.

Twink world is brutal.

Lesbians are way more forgiving.

Alright. Bye.

You need a top up?

Oh, no. I'm driving.

Oh, you can have one.

I don't drink.

- Oh, I'm sorry. - That's alright.

So, how do you know our Elizabeth?

I was one of her doctors.

- Of course. We've met. - I'm the grandmother.

Oh, hello.

Oh, she loves you.

Beth spoke so highly of you.

She said you were one of the great ones.

She was one of the great patients.

- Hi. - Get out.

I just came to pay my respects.

Now, fuck off.

I'm sorry. I'm just so incredibly sorry.

Best be leaving now, love.

Alright, I'll just be a sec.

Why the fuck would you come here?

I just wanted to say I'm sorry.

She died alone on the floor.

You did that.

Welcome basket.

All the essentials to survive your stay.

We've got champagne, we've got gin, bug spray, Xanax.

Why?

They go on about this being a five-star establishment,

but who gives a fuck, really, about the aqua-aerobics, right?

What kind of gin?

Sorry, I got held up.

Oh, no, you're good.

You won't be on for awhile.

OK.

Sorry, sorry.

- Suck it up, OK? - These pricks smell fear.

You've reached Doctor Kate Brennan.

I'm unavailable to take your call right now, but...

Find the sternum.

Nice incision.

Hello? - Persephone? Where's Mum?

Peel it back like a banana skin.

She's not answering and I need a lift.

Mum's at work. So, get a taxi.

I'm clawing off my fucking skin here, Seph.

It's really bad.

OK. Breathe and drop-pin your address, I'll come get you.

- You don't need to. - Do it.

Thanks heaps for the lesson!

Jesus you are the one.

I'll sing for you.

We travel on

Jesus, just stay with me.

If you won't take me I'll Uber.

No one's ubering anywhere.

It's my granddaughter, Titania.

Oberon.

- She's nearly 16. - She'll be fine.

He won't be! You don't know.

- I've got a car. I can drive. - Come on.

Does Oberon often need your help?

She's very emotional.

She's like my daughter.

Some people are just wired that way.

Last year I had to call an ambulance.

Must have been scary.

I had to keep a tea towel on his wrist,

so it meant dialling with one hand.

Your mother never told me that.

She redid the ensuite.

It's yellow now.

Persephone, do you have your seat belt on?

Excuse me, excuse me, excuse me please.

I can't believe everyone's just standing around!

Has anyone called the fire department?

It's not a cat up a tree.

She says she can't move.

Of course he can move!

Oberon, you're choosing not to move.

What's the specific issue?

Pain demands to be felt!

Just come down! I'm sorry?

It's a Fault in our Stars quote.

Such a good movie.

Well, it's rubbish.

Pain is far better ignored, believe me.

What are you doing?

You've got yourself up there, so you can get yourself down.

Am I missing something?

Why wouldn't you request visual obs?

I have a long history with the patient.

I didn't think she was at risk.

Obviously, this was a mistake in judgment on my part.

Or outside of your expertise,

given you are not a mental health professional.

Show me an MND patient, in palliative care,

who doesn't ideate from time to time?

She'd done more than ideate.

Mrs Carlisle had procured a substance,

presumably at expense and difficulty.

Which Dr Brennan had disposed of.

But didn't report.

This is not a story anyone needs, Nik.

Come to hospital and hang yourself. We can't manage your pain.

Sorry, I have an urgent page for Dr Brennan.

You're needed in ED.

I don't think we're finished here.

It's a family emergency.

- I'm sorry I have to... - will you excuse me?

Of course.

- Hey? - This way.

Guys, what happened?

Oh, Kathy. You made it.

Oberon fell out of the Surfers sign.

- What? - Relax. It's only fractured.

Five stitches!

I think this is psilocybin, but who can tell?

Everything's so pharmaceutical these days.

- Hallucinogens? Seriously? - This is what you're doing?

Did I not say she would catastrophise?

You know you don't have the brain chemistry

that can handle any alteration?

Jesus.

It wasn't like an attempt.

Persephone, why don't we check out the vending machine?

It's not like I was trying to kill myself.

Yeah, but you could have, sweetheart.

A girl came in here the other day, she took one E, bam, stroke, dead.

It's that easy.

- It's not easy. - Dying isn't easy.

- I've tried! - Shhh!

Edie tried! She threw herself out of a freaking window.

Can we talk about that, please?

Yeah, we can.

Nanna, would you care to shed some light?

Oh, what is it you want to ask me?

Did it hurt?

Not much.

Well, were you scared?

Mainly of it not working.

And then...

What I'd look like when people found me.

I was scared of that too.

I didn't want Mum to have to clean up.

It's different for me.

Why?

'Cause it is.

You've got your whole, big life.

She's not a role model.

The real issue that needs addressing is that those children

are not being parented.

- Oh my God. - You've been here five minutes.

And I can see that they're lost.

Say what you will, but I was there every night for you and your sister.

Look, this is who you get.

You'll notice that Charlotte isn't here.

I'm the daughter who actually...

Your sister's got her own struggles.

Great. Fine. And I will look after you,

but Mum, I moved to the other side of the world to get away

from your toxic shit.

So, yeah, fine. You don't have to babysit anymore

because I don't want that shit anywhere near my kids.

How can a generation be so entitled?

I never had parents offering to babysit.

I never even had a car.

I need some of these for my welcome baskets.

Bit of micro-dosing.

Aren't they terribly dangerous?

No, thanks.

The science is sound.

Grow your own neural pathways, change your brain.

What are they meant to do to you?

They make everything beautiful.

I'm entitled to privacy.

Everyone's had too much privacy.

I want visual obs and you can wipe that smile

because your door's coming off next.

- Mum! - Oh yeah.

Mum! Stop!

- Oh! - It's starting.

I miss the 70's.

Never came to Surrey. I always regretted that.

It was fun. It was great fun.

I had the best tits in Melbourne.

Well, South Yarra.

Oh God.

So pretty.

Hey, Katie, yeah, the fat fucks have asked you

to go on leave just while it's under investigation, though,

but hey, we're going to fight it, OK?

We're going to fight it. I promise you that.

I'm a mermaid.

I'm a glow worm.

Watch me glow.
