Seph!

Persephone!

Seph!

Seph!

Seph!

Seph!

Please!

I hope you don't mind, I gave up pots in the late 90s.

Why?

Oh, I don't know, the fuss.

Why Iris?

You gave it to her.

Gave her what?

Do you know, I called the raid.

I have a contact in the police. He'll be interested.

I don't know what it is you think I...

You're monstrous.

Sick, parasite, preying on...

This is probably a good time to ask this.

Are you upset because Iris took her...

My best friend.

Because your best friend Iris took her life?

You helped her.

Or are you upset because she did it without telling you first?

It is monstrous when something you've cared about

reveals itself to be less.

Friends, marriage. It's all so disappointing.

You were close to Art and then...

You were there when he died.

My God! Where is it, the stuff you gave them?

I didn't give them anything.

Is it here?

The police were through here a few hours ago.

They went through the whole house.

If I had something, they'd have found it.

Where is it, huh?

Where have you put it?

You asked me not to touch it.

And I didn't know where you were storing it so I...

Oh, so it's just a coincidence, then?

I come home and it's just gone.

Magic!

If you were thinking like a normal person,

you know I'd only been trying to help you, OK?

Yeah, why is that?

I mean, your wife put a... round her throat because of me.

A normal response is to want to ruin me. Is that it?

You've taken it and you're gonna set me up?

Give it.

- What's your plan, then? - Are you gonna become a one-man

evangelical operation that goes around killing people?

You are so fucked, do you know that?

And I don't know what screwed you up, but I don't think I...

Yeah, well I don't need to hear that from a guy

who's been playing happy families for what?

Four months after his wife...

- Kate, Kate, where's your phone? - I want the Nembutal back, now!

OK, you need to look at this, alright?

Kate, it's OK. I'll drive.

- Right. - OK.

So, she's hypoxic? PAUL: And seizing, we've induced.

Good. Who's consulting tonight?

Doctor Walsh. - Great, can I...

Mum?

Can I come with you?

She's still seizing.

I need some help in here.

Oh, Oberon.

Nanna.

You shouldn't be wearing wet clothes.

Has nobody offered you a cup of tea or something?

She's alive, that's the main thing.

She's been put in an induced coma for a few hours.

It's the potential neurological damage.

We don't know how long that she was under.

And we don't know how much oxygen she lost.

When will we know that?

She's blaming me.

No she isn't.

She wasn't meant to follow me.

- He's a child. - He can't be held responsible.

Well if I'm blaming anyone it's you, Mum.

You were meant to be looking after Oberon.

I have been.

It's not her fault.

Then why was he out there, in the water?

Why was he out there swimming in his clothes?

Oberon, why were you?

Who were you looking after, Mum?

Yourself, just like always.

Hi.

- Oh God. - Hey.

What the fuck is going on?

Kate?

Thinking on the way over

the night she was born.

No.

We had Indian vindaloo for dinner because she was running late,

and you wanted to hurry her along.

You wanted her with us.

We nearly had her in the carpark.

We.

Do you remember that?

That was me, Dad.

- No it wasn't. - Yes, it was.

Wonderful they let you out of your cage.

Oh, God.

That was you.

That was a beautiful night.

- Come on, Kathryn. - Come with me.

No. No, I'm gonna stay here.

- Christopher can stay with Oberon. - No, I want to stay here.

Think you can manage that?

It's OK. I'll come find you.

- Come on. - I wanna stay.

- Up on your feet. - I'll call you if anything happens.

- No, I want to. - Go on.

- Come on, it'll do you good. - Get some fresh air, gorgeous.

Come on, come here. Come here.

Thought we might say hello to your father.

I'm wondering if I should ask him to take me instead.

Too cheap.

I keep thinking about this mother in America.

Her daughter, she had a tonsillectomy

and there was negligence in the post-care

so she ended up brain-dead.

Right. That's not constructive.

It was high profile because of the

the mother fought to keep the daughter alive on a ventilator,

and like, for years

and the doctors said, "Oh, she's a corpse, we'd like the bed back."

But she just kept,

and I don't know if I'd fight like that.

I mean, I don't know if I wouldn't.

You don't need to know anything tonight.

We looked into adopting.

You don't know that.

Yeah, after Oberon, I had three miscarriages.

I just didn't think I could face another.

I saw what it did to you.

And then Persephone.

Yeah, but before there was a form

that we had to fill in from the agency.

What were we willing to accept? Age, disability.

Ah, would we adopt a child who was deaf? Yes. Down Syndrome.

Christopher said yes and I said

no.

This isn't a test.

This isn't a punishment for anything you've done, or we've done.

- You know that? - Yes.

That's God talk. You know better.

Hope you're not praying.

No, you?

- Mum, I need to say something. - No, no, enough tonight.

- It's picking scabs. - No, tonight I get to.

- My daughter's... - My granddaughter.

- Oh, for fuck's sake, Mum. - I wanna say it. Come on.

Go on then, say. Say.

You asked me when you came to live here.

When you dragged me halfway round the world just to dump me...

You asked me if I was going to ask you whether

you planned to try again.

Whether you planned to try to kill yourself again.

And you'll notice that I haven't asked.

But I have always asked.

Since forever. Since her age.

Mum!

That's why I had to get out of England.

I think because I couldn't keep asking myself

the same question when I couldn't fix it.

When I couldn't save you.

What, Kathryn?

Did you forget something?

But you did, though.

You came back.

And I hated you for it because you were why I lived.

I'm sorry.

He said he'd call.

Mum?

She's alright.

Butterfly...

She's high as a kite.

We should film it. Put it on YouTube.

- I saved him. You saved him.

I'm a superhero!

Superheroes can't go to school! I have too many special powers.

- Well, you can still go to school. - We'll get her a cape.

Beetle. Butterfly.

Sorry.

So she's...

Up. Talking.

No, she's going to be fine.

Well good.

Oh, shit.

It was Mum who took the Nembutal.

She said she didn't want me to come home and throw it away.

Yeah. Yeah, that makes sense.

Yeah, I guess.

Do you want to come up and see her? She'd love it.

No. Hospitals.

But give her my...

Yeah, of course.

What are you picturing?

A room full of people and they're all watching me, doing this.

Interesting.

- Am I there? - Oh shush!

Oh, say... say it. Say it, please.

Please, say it.

You are so fucking sexy.

Wow.

Oh my God.

Oh, I said I'd collect those.

They were taking up space.

Um, do you want to see what I've done with the place?

But the vertigo?

And the insomnia. Night sweats. All pretty typical.

The blood in the urine?

Sorry, I don't mean to second guess you, but...

No, I looked at your urine test very carefully,

but it is not abnormal.

Sexual activity when there is vaginal dryness will produce blood

and there is likely to be vaginal dryness when you are perimenopausal.

Bed three we have Jelena Likarova.

That is not her real name.

Mm-hmm.

What else?

Well, Philippa's in with the Boges.

Not for me to say, I'm a nurse, but...

What?

She could use some help.

Agitated delirium and the pain.

I've tried every fucking neural blocker... Sorry.

What's his morphine at?

What it should be. Not enough.

Well, it's OK. I'm handling it.

Hey, Mrs Bogdanowicz.

Too much pain.

Do you want to step out for a moment?

Doctor Lee can stay with your husband.

Remember we talked about palliative sedation?

Mm.

And you know it means that he won't wake up,

and that we'll maintain that sedation until the end?

Mm.

OK. Would you like us to call your family? Your daughter?

Do it now.

OK.

Alright. One.

Alternative means of alleviating suffering have been ineffective

or have produced intolerable side effects? Yes.

Yes.

Two. The patient must be close to death so sedation

would not significantly shorten survival. Yes.

Yes.

Three. The goal of sedation must be to alleviate suffering,

not end the patient's life or hasten death.

Screw this.

Yes.

Yes.

How long?

It can take a week sometimes, or a few days.

Five months he's been in there. And for what?

All his wife's going to remember is how he died.

And I'm... I'm not saying, Mum...

- No, no, course not, no. - Not.

I mean, I couldn't risk what happened to Iris again.

And what we did was monumentally irresponsible.

So I think, no one could keep it in their pantry, OK, that's over.

I would have to store it,

and I'd have to be with them while they take it.

Well I think people would like that.

It's comforting to have a doctor there.

What's comforting?

Ah, go get your brother up. It's time.

You know you don't have to.

I know.

Nanna?

Didn't bring my swimsuit.

Oh, bugger it.

Nanna!

Fuck it.

Don't make me read your mind.

You should know me better than that.

It takes me too much time.

You should know me better than that.

You're not that much like me.

You should know me better than that.

We have different enemies.

You should know me better than that

I should leave it alone but you're not right.

I should leave it alone but you're not right...

One, two, three!

Behind.

Behind

I should live in salt for leaving you.

Behind.

Behind.

Let me see.

Well, it's not exactly breakfast but I could heat up

one of these apricot chickens.

I don't mind this, you know? Looking after myself.

Might go on a cooking course, though.

Um, maybe in... Vietnam.

Hoi-An. Yeah.

We could meet up there afterwards. You know, regroup.

I know Asia's never really been your scene exactly,

but... I think you'll find it's changed a lot.

No thanks. I'm happy here.

Well, you should think about it.

Microwave.

Three minutes, is that all?

Yes, hello?

Stick your fingers down your throat, Henry! Henry!

- Dawn? - God!

I think you've pocket-dialled me.

Edie, I've done something terrible!

I need your help!

Edie!

Mum?

- Henry! Fingers down your... - Vomit! Get it out!
