(Buzz of chatter)

(Vendors cry out)

Hello, Lydia.

You have got to be joking!

(Sighs) I'm not going over
all that again.

Good! Then pack up and leave.

I have every right to be here.

I have authorisation to be
a healthcare provider.

And a permit for my pitch
in the market.

You're not throwing me out
this time.

Who did you have to bribe
to get those?

- You're as cynical as ever.
- When it comes to you, yes.

How on earth can you call this
a medical clinic?

Come with me.

This is Jeeta.

He had terrible asthma until
he came to see me last year.

And this is Vani.
How's your back now?

Better.

And this is Geeta.

She had arthritis in both hands.

How do you feel
after our treatments?

Much better, thank you,
Dr Anila.

Look, I'm sure there'll be some
type of placebo effect

from whatever it is you give...

Placebo, no. These are genuine
measurable improvements.

Measured by whom? You?

Last year, I was very sick.

I had breathing problems,
fainting spells,

I almost passed out.

I went to see a doctor
and they did nothing.

Nothing at all.

Things got worse until I
couldn't even leave the house.

Then Dr Anila came to see me and
in days I was back on my feet.

Right. I don't suppose you
remember the name of this doctor

who did "nothing at all",
do you?

Oh, yes.

It was you.

Swollen ankle, query fracture.
What have you got?

You don't want to know.

I told you so.

I changed the sheets in the male
ward and I swept the floor.

What should I do after I've
taken them to the laundry?

- Ambulance could use a wash.
- Way ahead of you.

I washed and polished it
first thing this morning.

You could go see Sister Patel,

see if she needs
anyone taking to X-Ray.

Yes, Sister. Thank you, Sister.

How long do you think
you can keep up the act?

Act? What act?

A few more days.
My dad sees me enjoying my job,

I'll be out of here
by the end of the week.

11:45.

That's the latest you have
come in on a day off.

That's progress, Lydia.

A former patient of mine,
I bumped into her today,

is claiming that we...

Oh, for Christ's sake.

What?

Reya Kohli, aged 28.

Came in last January
complaining of nausea

and intermittent syncope.

She presented with symptoms of
a very serious heart condition.

We were supposed to arrange
follow-up tests

but somehow she slipped
through the system.

How the hell did
that happen?

That was a busy time,

right after Dr Evans
but before Dr Walker.

We were massively overstretched.

Now she's under the care
of a herbal quack.

Not our finest hour, I admit.

Then I'll just have to
make her see sense.

RUBY: Can you feel that? Yeah?

This?

(Winces) That. That's hurting.

How did it happen?

I'm a window cleaner. So I fell
off my ladder this morning.

OK.

Well, let's get you X-rayed and
we'll just take it from there.

I don't want to be any bother.

Give me something for the pain
and I'll get out of your way.

We need to check if you've
broken anything first.

OK?

You're very kind, thank you. I'm
so sorry to be such a bother.

That's OK.

That seems OK.

Now, we should check to see
if there's water on your lungs.

- How are you feeling?
- Stupid.

Don't feel bad, the ocean
currents can be deadly here.

When the lifeguards brought him
back to the beach,

I thought I'd lost him,
the silly sod.

I'll try not to hold up your
holiday any more than I need to.

We'll keep you here under
observation for a few hours,

then you should be good to go.

Is that... I mean...

I don't want to tell you how to
do your job, but, are you sure?

You hear stories, don't you,
of after effects, complications?

What stories?

I dunno, I mean...I nearly died.

You're really shaken up,
aren't you?

Don't worry.

You are in good hands, OK?

(Horns tooting)

(Indistinct Tannoy announcement)

Reya?

Reya, there's something
I need to explain to you.

Not now.

The hospital made an admin
error, so no-one contacted you.

But I've looked at
your notes again

and I'd like you to come in
for some tests.

I'm busy!

Prolonged bouts of nausea
and fainting

can be a sign of something
extremely serious.

I'm perfectly fine.

I assure you, herbal medicine
is not the answer.

You need to see a real doctor.

- I have a real doctor.
MAN: Reya?

(He speaks Malayalam)

(She replies in Malayalam)

What happens if your symptoms
return when driving this bus?

REYA: They won't.

Reya, I can be an unbelievable
pain in the backside if I want.

And I absolutely
will not let this drop.

I'll be at the hospital, come in
when you've finished your shift.

Otherwise I'll come here and say
the same thing tomorrow

and the day after that and the
day after, as long as it takes.

Then let me save you
wasting your time.

The answer is no.

Muthi, let's go.

GREG: So what's the plan?

No plan as such.

Get some sun, relax,
get away from it all.

Mainly the casseroles.

Casseroles?

When women of a certain age
find out a man's a widower,

they come round bearing gifts,
namely casseroles.

I've been fighting them off
in the driveway.

What's funny about that?
I'm an eligible man.

Oh, I know. I know, yeah.

If I was ten years younger...

Haven't you got customers
to serve?

GREG: Yes, love,
what can I get you?

Same again?
You all right over here?

Lovely.

What are you doing in here?

Sorry, I was erm...

looking for the toilet.

I just needed some time
on my own.

Are you all right?

Not really, no.

Is there anything I can do?

I don't know.

It's quite personal.

Thank you.

She's very good
at this kind of thing.

- Aren't you?
- Yes.

Apparently.

It's Karen.

I don't want to sound cruel,
but...

I didn't realise
she'd be so full on.

Full on?

We've not been seeing
each other long.

It's the first time we've been
away together.

She's very demanding
when we're...

..alone.

If you like, I can tell her
that you need a rest.

You need some time alone

to recover from the trauma
you've been put through.

- By the ocean.
- Yes.

(Sighs) Yeah.

That'd be brilliant.

(Prayers and chanting)

(Shutter clicks)

(Chatter)

RUBY: OK, your turn.
I need some help.

What do you think?

This is the window cleaner
that fell off his ladder.

Am I missing something?
It seems perfectly normal to me.

That's because it is. Why does
it take two of you to see that?

- How was your day off?
- You're fired.

Finally!

You're not missing anything.

Put it back.

All of it.

(She gasps)

Open up! No!

(Muffled) Let me out! Open up!

- (Engine starts)
- No, no, no, no!

Not my bike! (Groans)

Is this a bad time
to mention bike locks?

(Vendors shouting)

Did you put her up to this?

- Who?
- You know very well who.

Reya won't even speak to me.

What I say to my patients
remains confidential.

If you genuinely care
about Reya's wellbeing,

make her come back
to the hospital.

Make her?

Don't twist it,
you know what I mean.

Help me to help her.

Reya is my patient.

Fine, then talk me through
how you're gonna test her

for heart disease
without an ECG or an echo.

There are ways of dealing with
underlying problems in the body.

Oh, yes, the balance of
spiritual energy that supposedly

affects everything
from diabetes to cancer.

Come on, you were a medic! You
can't possibly believe in this.

You know, I worked in a hospital
in Chennai for ten years.

I've seen things that defy
conventional teaching.

So have I.

But freak occurrence
and coincidence

doesn't mean
you have to believe in fairies.

I believe in whatever works
for my patients.

Not just the medicine
but the whole process.

In the hospital, I would have to
see 30-40 patients a day.

But here, I can give them time,
sit and actually talk to them.

All of which sounds lovely
until you get a waiting room

full of trauma victims
and infectious diseases.

You know, if you'd given
more time to Reya

perhaps she'd still be
your patient.

Running a hospital
is a world apart

from sitting in a tent
doing Reiki.

This woman needs medical help,
not a cosy chat!

I've seen doctors like you
before.

You know, you love to be
a big fish in a small pond,

everything under control.

But with this one patient,
she's seen through you.

There's no trust, no respect -
you mean nothing to her.

And that must be killing you.

I didn't realise you offered
psychobabble

as well as magic potions.

Excuse me.

RAM: What did he take?

Er...all sorts.

Bandages, plasters, penicillin.

Mainly morphine and syringes.

It didn't occur to you
that he was a junkie?

Obviously not.

MARI: I called Carmel Hospital
in case he goes there.

Someone matching his description
tried the same thing yesterday

but they...

Well, they realised straight
away and told him to leave.

Glad to see
you've been coping without me.

Erm...Dr Walker...

..I was wondering if I could ask
you for a second opinion.

(Karen laughs raucously)

I need to tell Mr Taylor we'll
be discharging him tomorrow.

I might give it a minute.

- Lydia...
- Not now, Mari.

You have a visitor.

Reya, I'm so glad you came.

If you come this way,
we'll get you started.

That's not why I'm here.
After you came to see me,

my supervisor called me
into his office.

- I've been sacked.
- What?

He heard what you said.

I tried to tell him
that I'm fine now,

that there's nothing wrong with
me, but he wouldn't listen.

I'm on my own.
How do I look after him?

Reya...

I'll make a complaint
about you and your hospital.

- Let me help you.
- Leave me alone.

GREG: So, what you been up to?

Sightseeing.

Buddhist temple in the morning,
ashram in the afternoon.

You went to a Buddhist temple
and an ashram?

I've got a cultured side,
you know.

Yeah, I've heard you get out
of the bath to do a wee.

- I thought you came to relax.
- I did.

Well, get yourself settled in.

There's more where
that came from.

I'm not stopping long. I've got
a busy day tomorrow.

What are you up to?

Going to a festival of
Kathakali theatre.

Kathakali? Seriously?

I mean, don't get me wrong,
some people love a bit

of Hindu performance art, but I
can't see you being one of them.

- You had a bang on the head?
- Get off, you daft bugger!

I've had medical training of
sorts. Let's have a look.

I said, get off!

MALA: I'm back!

What's all this?

I just thought we'll have
a romantic dinner,

just the two of us, you and me,

and then see
where the evening leads us.

That's a nice thought,
sweetheart,

but tonight we are
with the Khattris.

No, that's next week...isn't it?

Do you ever use
the diary I got you?

Yes, sometimes.

Well, I can't cancel it now.

- (Door opens)
- AJ?

Be strong.
You're doing the right thing.

It's fine, I'm going out now.
Have fun.

There's a change of plans.
In fact,

I'd like you to join us for
dinner with some few friends

and...a nice young lady.

God, not again.

I know I've tried to match-make
for you before, but trust me,

this time I'm right.

- And this is fine for you?
- Absolutely.

You have nothing else
planned tonight?

Some things are more important.

Of course, I can't make you come
with us, if you don't want to.

No, you can't.

I'll just sell your car and put
you on permanent night shifts.

MAN: We were holidaying in
this posh five-star hotel,

anything you could ask for.

And guess what Mandeep
turned around and asked me.

What did you ask, Mandeep?

Is there a library?

(Chuckling)
"Is there a library?"

Well, I can't say AJ
is a voracious reader,

but he certainly has some
interesting stories of his own.

Yeah, I suppose.

There's this really funny story
about this girl from England...

Excellent! Excellent.
(Laughs nervously)

But why don't you ask Mandeep
a little bit more about herself?

Yeah, OK.

Er...Mandeep...
do you have a favourite film?

No.

TV show?

I don't watch TV.

Erm...
OK, do you listen to music?

No.

WORKER: So the road is blocked
and the bus can't go.

MANAGER: Why are you
telling me this?

- The police have to come.
- That's your job.

Go and get the road cleared,
that's what you're paid to do.

Don't bother me, thank you.

Thank you.

Well, Reya hid medical
information from her employer.

That's a very serious offence.

She has a child, she was
desperate to keep her job.

And I'm desperate to keep mine.
I can't let her drive a bus.

Of course, but until we know
what's wrong with her,

why not let her work in the
ticket office or as a conductor?

I heard you talking, you said
she could be seriously ill.

I'm running a business,
not a charity.

Yes.
Yes, she could be seriously ill,

but it doesn't mean
it isn't treatable.

And if you give her
a second chance,

I will do everything in my power
to keep her fit and healthy.

Sir, I can't go because
I don't have a schedule.

You don't have the schedule
because you left it here.

Thank you, sir.

And if nothing else,

there's the time you'll save not
having to train someone else.

Good staff aren't easy to find
these days.

Tell me about it.

And there's a hell of a lot of
paperwork when you fire someone.

Must be very difficult.

People don't appreciate how hard
it is to keep up with it all.

Try running a hospital.

If I say no to you, you will be,
what was your phrase -

"an unbelievable pain
in the backside"?

Afraid I will.

Ah, all right?

Hi.

Mind if I tag along?

Despite what I said last night,
I'm a huge fan of Kathakali.

- Are you now?
- Oh, yeah, massive. Yeah.

I'd love to play poker with you.
I'd make a bloody fortune.

Kathakali theatre festival,
please.

Two minutes of your time.

OK, one minute! One minute.

I've spoken to your boss,
he's agreed not to fire you.

I have also spoken to
a specialist in Kochi.

He works at a private clinic
but he will see you for free.

Now, I know you don't trust me,
but he's an expert in his field

and second opinions
don't come any better.

I can tell you more, but it will
take longer than a minute.

Thank you.

I've got to give it to you,
Lydia, you're persistent.

Here are some details about
the consultant, Mr Nagra.

I've written my number
on the top,

so you can ring me any time,
day or night,

and I can arrange
an appointment.

Your boss is expecting
to see you today

to talk through some options.

You won't be driving for now but
he'll keep you on the same pay.

You spoke to him and he changed
his mind, like that?

There is one condition - that
you agree to be under my care.

Now she gets to it!

You think the great
Lydia Fonseca

can sweep and order people
around and they'll fall in line?

She needs a clean bill of health
for insurance,

not something you can provide.

This woman is
an arrogant control freak

who loves to tell you that only
she knows what's best!

Reya, I appreciate
this is a difficult situation,

but you have a very clear choice
about who to listen to.

She has already made her choice!

- Enough!
- (Baby cries)

I'm not some stray dog
you can just fight about.

Get out of my house.

Both of you.

Now!

(Baby continues crying)

RUBY: You've had a terrible
trauma, Mr Taylor.

So remember,
plenty of rest and relaxation.

Poor Gav,
he's gonna be so bored.

GABRIEL:
Doesn't stop you having fun.

Get outside in the sunshine,
keep up those Vitamin D levels

or try relaxing on the beach.

Or go on a day trip somewhere.

Oh. Yeah, I just might do that.

Right, come on, you. Come on.

Oh, sorry.

I don't know about you, but
that's why I got into medicine.

I don't believe it. Hey!

- Where's my bike?
- I can explain.

- Where is my bike?
- The medicine is not working.

If you're an addict, I can refer
you to a rehab clinic.

It's nothing like that.

You have to help me, we don't
have much time. Please.

GABRIEL: For the record,
this is a mistake.

RUBY: For the record,
I disagree.

(Dog barking)

(Goat bleating)

Remind me why we're here.

He needs help.

Yes, but not from us.

He says he's not a junkie.

Oh, well, if he says it...

This is my brother, Suresh.

Suresh?

Hi, I'm Dr Walker.

This is Dr Varma.

How are you feeling?

- When did this happen?
BOY: Last week.

- And just this arm, yeah?
- Yeah.

Hold still, I'll be as gentle
as I can.

What happened?

He got burned.

How?

Does it matter?

It does if you want us
to help him.

It happened in the storm
last week.

He was touching the light switch
when the power came back on.

The shock threw him across the
room and set his shirt on fire.

Why didn't you just say that?

Because they've been
stealing electricity.

There's some pretty big fines
for that these days.

Not just fines.

Not if you've been arrested
before.

This is very badly infected.
There's nothing I can do here.

- You have to come to hospital.
- No.

We won't tell anyone
how it happened.

How do we know we can trust you?

Trust me when I say this.

If he doesn't get help today,
he'll lose his arm.

I've brought some cushions.
Kathakali can go on a bit.

I don't want the Farmer Giles to
rear their ugly heads again.

One good thing about
going out with a doctor -

instant treatment.

You'd think so, wouldn't you?
But she says it ruins the magic.

Especially if it's anything to
do with my nether regions.

Women, eh?
How is Dr Fonseca, anyway?

Oh, you know.

It's good. Great, actually.

We really are gonna play poker.

Big stakes too.

If you must know, I did throw
a bit of a spanner in the works.

I sort of...
accidentally mentioned marriage.

Sort of accidentally?

I just... I was testing the
water, see what she'd think.

She just laughed,

like been wed to me
was, like, this big joke.

Sorry, am I supposed
to say something?

Ideally, yeah.

Not sure what to say, really.

With me and Mags,
it was always plain sailing,

even after 40-odd years.

Mind you, when I first met her I
pretended to be mean and moody.

You know,
James Dean kind of thing.

Every time she spoke to me, I'd
just grunt and light up a fag.

How did that work out?

She went out with my best mate
for two years.

Last time I talk to you
about my love life.

I do hope so.

AJ, I just got off the phone
with Mala.

Mr Khattri's impressed with you
and so is Mandeep.

In fact, she wants to see you
tonight, again.

- I mean, just the two of you.
- Yay!

Oh, give her a chance, AJ.
These things take time.

A bit like you proposing
to Mala?

I'm going to get to it
when the moment is right.

I want everything to be perfect.

And don't go round
changing the subject!

Lydia...

can you give some advice to my
son about matters of the heart?

I'm too busy to think of a good
excuse so I'm just gonna say,

no, I don't want to ever.

MARI: Lydia?
- Yeah?

An emergency call
from Kulungara Road.

- What have we got?
- Reya Kohli.

(Siren wails)

Move out of the way, please.
Move out of the way. Excuse me.

- How long's she been like this?
- Ten minutes or more, maybe.

Everybody get back. (Speaks
Malayalam) Get back!

Reya, can you hear me?

- Dr Fonseca.
- She's arrested.

Where the hell have you been?

Get that thing here now.

Charge it to 200. Quick!

(Defibrillator battery whirs
then bleeps)

It's ready.

Stand back!
Everyone, stand back!

Back!

(Rapid bleeping)

(Reya gasps)

We've got a pulse.
Get the stretcher!

The infection's bad but there's
a clear line of demarcation.

That far?

Yes, necrotic tissue
isn't always visible,

so we need to make sure.

You already did an appendectomy,
you're more than capable.

Keep going, a little deeper.

That's it.

You're doing well.

- Was that a compliment?
- No.

Just a fact.

RUBY: Do you think he'll be able
to keep it free of infection?

Antibiotics aside, his place
isn't exactly germ-free.

True. But what else can we do?

That electric wiring,
I mean, it's insane.

When I was a kid in Mumbai,
there was this lamppost

outside our front door.

It was like a spider's web
of electric cables.

When it rained, sparks would
shoot out all over the street.

You grew up in Mumbai?

Yes. In Dharavi.

It's like a city within a city.

- Like a slum?
- Mm-hm.

I always thought you went to
some posh boarding school.

I did.

I wouldn't call it posh,
exactly.

I got a scholarship
when I was 12.

What?

So you grew up in a slum and
then got sent away to school?

Yes.

That's it?
That's all I'm getting?

OK.

(Monitor bleeping)

I just spoke to the ICU
at Kochi.

They're sending a medevac team.
Should be here in an hour or so.

Any change?

No.

How long was she down for?

Why don't you take a break?
You look tired.

I'll check out the ultrasound,
see what it's showing.

No need to do that,
they'll do an echo in Kochi.

Yeah, but whatever information
we give them could help.

All we can do is concentrate
on keeping her stable.

The ultrasound won't help.

In your opinion.

Lydia, there's nothing more
you can do.

I've just heard. How is she?

Please.

For ten minutes, she had
minimal, if any, cardiac output.

Which means if she survives,

it's highly likely she'll
have significant brain damage.

She seemed...
I thought she was doing good.

And you were wrong, which is why
I told you not to interfere.

I was trying to help her.

Well, now she has
life-changing injuries

and a child with no-one
to look after him.

That's on you.
I hope you can live with it.

- Lydia...
- Now get out of my hospital!

(Mari chatters, child babbles)

(Mari whispers) OK, ssh.

I've spoken to social services.

They're trying to find someone
to look after him

till we know more.

- OK, thank you.
- (Child babbles)

Yes.

Erm...is it OK if I carry him
for a bit longer?

Yeah, it's fine.

Thank you.

(Percussive instruments playing)

(Traditional singing)

So is that one a demon?

No, he's a god.

That's why he saved the Princess
from the snake in the forest.

How d'you know that?

Read the story last night.

Tried to, anyway.

(Percussion continues)

(Singing resumes)

- Shite.
- What?

Did I put my camera in your bag?

No.

Must've left it in the tuk-tuk.
Oh, for Christ's sake!

Stupid, so bloody stupid!

It's probably for the best.

That'd probably crack your lens.

It's just a camera.

(Applause)

There you go.

Now, there's a nice little Irish
bar just round the corner

if you fancy a quick snifter?

Nah, let's just get back.

I'm just tired, that's all.

I never sleep right
in this bloody country.

Look, I know this is none
of my business, but...

the things you've been doing,
the places you've been going...

not very you, is it?

I'm on holiday!
What do you want me to say?

Don't want you to say anything,
I'm just trying to be a mate.

All right, Sherlock sodding
Holmes, you're right.

I didn't want to see
this stupid theatre thing.

I didn't want to wander around
a temple in 100-degree heat

and I didn't want to catch
a boat to a bloody ashram.

These are things that
Maggie wanted to do,

things we were gonna do together
but we never had the time.

There. I've said it.

Now what?

Exactly.

The medevac team are here.

I'll be there in a minute.

I know what you're going to say.

Do you?

You've had a one-woman
discussion within your head

and resolved everything?

It was unprofessional of me
to lose my temper, I know.

But that bloody woman
winds me up!

If it was me, I'd like to think
about why these things happen.

I'd like you, as one of my
dearest friends, to ask,

if my personal feelings
are clouding my judgment.

We need to accept
what we are responsible for.

The mistakes we made.

Have you finished?

Good.

Careful with her.

(Ambulance doors close)

(Siren blares)

We've cleaned up the wound,
he should make a full recovery.

Thank you so much.

They'll bring him out and you
can see him when he wakes up.

OK.

Wait.

If you're going to keep
stealing electricity,

you need a circuit breaker,

something to cut the power
when a surge comes through.

- Who's going to pay for that?
- I will...

..when you bring her bike back.

Hi, you're right on time,
obviously.

What can I get you to drink?

Water, no ice, no lemon?

- Tequila, two shot glasses.
- Coming right up.

You're not seriously telling me
you believed that act?

It's just so my father doesn't
look too closely at my life.

Leave the bottle.

Easy, tiger.

So the whole Clark Kent glasses
spinster thing is just an act?

These are my actual glasses,
I'm short-sighted.

Although it does help the act.

Anything to keep
my father off my back.

Don't get me started on my dad.
Life is pretty boring right now.

AJ, life is only boring
if you get caught.

Cheers!

Cheers!

I thought your shift
had finished?

These things get in such a mess.

I'm just trying to get ahead
for tomorrow.

- Mari, are you OK?
- Good, thank you.

(Sniffs) Er...

I haven't heard from him
if that's what you mean.

It's fine, I'm glad.

If you like, we could go
for a few drinks,

maybe even make a night of it?

I don't think
I'm ready for that yet.

You could find someone else.

One of the other doctors,
perhaps?

(Both chuckle)

Actually I'm...
feeling quite knackered.

So I'm gonna head home.

- Good night, Ruby.
- Good night, Mari.

I did what I thought was best.

I thought I was helping her.

She was badly let down.

I know.

Not just by you.

You look like
you could use a drink.

More than one.

Here you go.

Although I should point out that
er...one of these is for me.

If you don't mind the company.

Did you know you can tell how
many hours of daylight are left

by putting your fingers
flat to the horizon like this?

Each finger's about 15 minutes,
give or take.

Have I just ruined a lovely
moment by being boring?

(She chuckles)

No. No, it's fine.

I'm in the mood for boring.

"Dear Ruby.

Even though
we have never met,

I have thought about you
all through your life.

Your father is my brother

and there are many things
you need to know.

Can we meet?

Kabir Nambeesan."
