- Oh.

Beryl, I can see here from Langdon's extensive notes

and water colours that you are taking

antiretrovirals to manage your HIV?

- Where's Dr. Marsh?

- Oh, he's had to move on I'm afraid.

But you get me now.

- Move on?

Oh, no.

I'll always remember him as a good man.

- Oh, he's not dead.

He's just no longer with us - here.

- Oh, well, I'd still like to thank him

for everything he's done for me.

Oh, what's his address?

- I don't know.

We weren't mates.

We were workmates, but we weren't mate mates.

- Shame.

I was going to show him my photos of my Africa trip today.

- Oh, I've got other patients.

- [Beryl] Now, here's me on the plane.

Oh, and this one,

that's the food they gave us.

You know, they said, "You can have chicken or fish."

And I said-

[upbeat, instrumental intro]

[types on keyboard]

[knock on door]

- Come in.

- Hi.

Just checking that you're still okay

for Yasmin and I to finish early tomorrow

to go to Langdon's hearing?

- Oh, the sex offender?

- Not technically a sex offender.

- Speaking of the sex offender,

he forgot a box from the clean-out.

I put it in reception.

- Okay.

I'll make sure he gets it.

[door closes]

- I was hoping to get some feedback

on my application being rejected.

No, I know.

But was it anything to do with the reference letter?

I totally understand, you're not allowed to say.

But... it was, wasn't it?

Now that my long placement here is coming to an end,

I've been applying for jobs all over Melbourne.

So far, no luck.

I think it might have something to do

with Steph's reference letter.

"Yasmin is good.

Don't be stupid.

Hire her.

Steph."

She honestly just signed it: Steph.

[pen scrapes paper]

[Yasmin sighs]

- Hey, how's the job hunt going?

- Fine.

- You know, if you wanted to

like we'd be happy to keep you on here

after your placement ends.

[Yasmin snorts]

- Oh my god, you're being serious.

No.

Thank you, but...

Thank you.

What's all that?

- Just junk Langdon forgot.

Don't suppose you know his address?

- Yeah.

Remember?

From when he invited us all round

for that Tupperware party.

You couldn't come

because you suddenly came down with "rickets".

- Oh, yeah.

I've managed to go five years

without seeing how Langdon lives.

- Then why don't I just take it round for you?

I don't mind. Really.

- Yeah?

You sure?

- Oh, I'm sure.

It'll be good to see Langdon,

but it'll be even better to get a recommendation letter

that doesn't read like an SOS message.

[Yasmin sighs]

- Good day, Gwenno!

[Gwen groans]

Aw.

You still a bit bummed about that daycare interview,

are you?

[Gwen sighs]

- They said I was the worst applicant they've ever seen.

And Ivan Milat interviewed there once.

- Yeah,

but on the bright side,

I got you a little pressie to cheer you up.

Tada!

[Greg chuckles]

- Isn't alcohol meant to make you more depressed?

- Yeah, actually that makes a lot of sense.

[Gwen sighs]

- I'm just gonna die here like that

stupid old psychic woman said I would.

[buzzer buzzes]

- [LANGDON] Come on up!

- Thanks.

[knocks on door]

- Yasmin!

- Hey, Langdon!

[Yasmin chuckles]

[Yasmin and Langdon screams]

- Sorry about the birthday pants before.

[Langdon chuckles]

- It's fine.

Yeah.

So how have you been?

- Surprisingly good.

I hardly even think about Metro,

or the hearing tomorrow,

or the fact Calvin left me.

I'm doing just fine.

[Langdon laughs]

- That's great to hear.

Just great.

Hey, so I was wondering,

just while I'm here,

if I could maybe pester you

for a little recommendation letter?

- Yasmin.

I'd be honoured.

Oh, there's so much to say.

Your patient care,

eagerness to learn,

dedication.

Do these things have a word limit?

- I don't think so, no.

[Langdon slaps palms] - Great. Okay.

Do you want me to address it to any one in particular or?

- To whom it may concern is fine.

- May concern. Great.

- Yep, great.

- Whatever you want.

It's fine.

[Yasmin chuckles]

- Oh, no.

What's wrong?

Yeah, this might be a little harder than I first thought.

[Langdon sobs]

- Calvin.

[Langdon sobs louder]

[drum segment]

[Langdon sobs]

- I miss Metro so much.

And if I lose this hearing,

you know I can say bye-bye to my medical licence.

- I know. I know.

Now, what about a few lines

about how consistently punctual I am?

- You're! So! Punctual! [Langdon sobs]

[Steph rhythmically clicks tongue]

[knocks on door]

- [Steph] Hi.

Just thinking about funny little rituals,

and Langdon and I,

we'd go to the pub after a good week

fighting SexNow and stuff.

Don't suppose you'd be keen?

- Why not?

It'll be nice to get to know each other.

[Judith clicks mouse]

[Yasmin sighs]

[paper rustles]

- It took blood, sweat, and a lot of tears,

but [paper rustles]

here it is.

"To whom it may concern,

Yasmin Dagher is"...

A tear stain there.

... "she exceeds particularly at"...

More tear stains.

Indecipherable.

[paper rustles]

Great.

[soft background music] - [Steph] There you go.

Uh, this is nice.

- Yes, very quaint place.

[The Creases "Is It Love"]

- Langdon loves this song.

He'd be five drinks deep by now

and up on the bar trying to get karaoke started.

- Heavens.

How mortifying.

- Yeah, thank God I don't have to sit through that anymore.

[both chuckles]

Yeah. [Judith clears throat]

Yeah.

[The Creases "Is It Love" continues]

- [Amelia] Well, I do have lunch after.

- I don't think this will take too long at all.

- Okay.

- It's really [indistinct] trial.

I'd say an hour.

[Bart talks indistinctly]

- [JULIAN] No, I love your cooking.

[Bart and Amelia talk indistinctly]

- Hey!

You came to support me!

- Well, it's pretty hard to ignore the 30 voicemails

you left begging us to be here.

[Steph sighs]

How have you been?

- Really well.

I've been really well.

- Yeah, well, the clinic's a bit different without you.

Much quieter.

So who's defending you?

- Ah, I decided to go on alone.

But don't worry.

I watched "Lincoln Lawyer" five times on repeat.

Alright, alright, alright.

- That's...

[Langdon clears throat]

That's the wrong movie.

[keypad clicks]

[Herman sighs]

- Herman?

- I'm working.

Don't "at" me.

[Herman clicks keypad]

- No one's "at-ing" you.

What are you doing here?

- Daddy got me a job as a stenographer.

Sounded vaguely medical, so I was like in there.

But then apparently it's just writing stories in court

or something, so.

- Right.

[Herman chuckles]

[drum segment]

[Bart slurps]

- [Bart] All right.

Let's get this over with.

And seeing as you are the doctor who,

if memory serves,

erected a graphic billboard near my daughter's preschool,

I don't think this will take very long at all.

- Isn't there usually three judges for this sort of thing?

- Yes, well, thanks to budget cuts,

today it's less of a tribunal,

and more of a unibunal.

[Amelia laughs]

- Very good, Mr. Finley.

- Yes.

All right, let's hear opening statements.

Amelia.

- Mr. Finley,

I seek dismissal of the accused

for ethical misconduct in his duties

as a healthcare professional.

With his seducing of a board member,

the accused has broken the oaths sworn upon

becoming a doctor,

and, in my opinion,

is no longer worthy of practising medicine in this state.

- Thank you.

Marsh.

Opening statement.

[Langdon breathes nervously]

- Wow! When you put it like that,

sounds kind of bad for me.

Well, I had a dream...

And I punch like a butterfly,

sting like a bee.

And it's one small step for man,

one massive-

- I think what Langdon is trying to say

is that being a doctor is not just a job,

it's his life.

And no one cares more about sexual health

than Dr. Langdon Marsh.

- Steph, what are you doing?

- I have no idea.

Just go with it.

[drum segment]

- Hey.

If I'm gonna defend you,

I need to know exactly what went down with you and Julian.

- I told you.

He kissed me.

I was stunned.

I pushed him away.

There's nothing more to it.

- Yes, we enjoyed a lecherous evening

of unbridled passion together.

- What?!

That's a lie!

He's lying!

- Quiet, Marsh.

- And when was this, Mr. Clairmont?

- On the evening of the 27th of October

at my rather spacious two-story home in Toorak.

- And did the intimacy with the accused

make you in any way biased toward him?

- Most certainly not.

I'm quite capable of separating business and pleasure.

- So Dr. Marsh would have won the award regardless?

- I see.

I see what you're getting at.

No comment.

- No further questions.

- Steph's got me working Langdon's case,

and just saying, I'm pretty confident.

When I was younger,

I wanted to be either a doctor or a lawyer,

so while other kids were out getting hickies on weekends,

I was watching hearings at the supreme court.

My mum used to take me.

She didn't stay.

She just dropped me off

because she didn't like it but...

But I liked it.

- Yeah, you just put that through there.

- Yeah.

[Gwen chuckles]

- What is it?

- Ah...

It's a spleen getting punched in the spleen.

I thought it'd look good on my jacket.

What do you reckon?

- Yeah.

I reckon it'll look really cool.

- Yeah?

- Totally.

- Yeah.

- You're getting really good.

- Yeah, see?

We can always have fun.

- Yeah.

I guess dying here isn't the end of the world.

- That's what I mean, you know.

- You're really cool, Greg.

You know that?

- This is it.

This is the day I tell Gwen how I feel.

Right after I go get my sitar

and nail the song I've been writing for her.

[Greg chortles]

- Marsh,

were you with Mr, Clairmont

on the evening of October the 27th?

- No.

I was home all night

baking a cake for Steph's recent birthday.

- And did Dr. Huddleston ever receive said cake?

- She did not.

- And why is that?

- Because I ate the whole thing after getting suspended

while crying in my underwear.

[Langdon sobs lightly]

The tears made the batter taste like salted caramel.

[Langdon cries loudly]

Like...

Yeah, I mean, I think we [indistinct].

[phone vibrates]

- Yasmin Dagher speaking.

Oh yeah, definitely!

I can do 2:00 pm.

Hey.

I'm so sorry, but I have to run.

I just got an interview at Sandringham Private Hospital,

and they want me to come in today.

- What?!

I thought you were gonna help with the defense.

- I know. I'm sorry.

It's just, this is really important.

- It's fine.

Thanks for coming down anyway.

Oh, before you go,

that letter I wrote the other day wasn't my best.

[Langdon chuckles] Bad headspace.

- Wow.

Thanks, Langdon.

[Yasmin chuckles]

- Dr. Huddleston.

I just wanted to wish you good luck.

Though why you're defending this man,

I will never understand.

- Well, I guess I just believe in giving mates a fair go.

- Mates?

Odd.

Especially since you were the one who brought

the video to my attention in the first place.

- You did what?!

- Did you not know that, Mr. Marsh?

Oh, what a shame.

Anyway, as I said,

best of luck with the defense.

[Langdon breathes heavily]

- This is me at the bottom of Mount Kilimanjaro.

Oh, and this is the food we took up on our hike

for the first 100 meters of Mount Kilimanjaro.

[Gwen groans loudly]

Oh, here,

it's me in Uganda,

helping to build a school for the kids there.

- Kids?

- Yes.

There were about 40 of them.

[Beryl chuckles]

Do you like it?

There's a lot of them.

[Beryl chuckles] - Stop talking.

- Langdon, on Monday the 25th,

we had a conversation where you told me

your plans for the week.

What were they?

- You'd remember if we were friends.

- Of course, I...

We are friends, Langdon.

Just answer the question.

- You wanted to get rid of me all along.

You wanted me gone.

- Defense is going about as well as you'd imagine,

given Langdon is no longer speaking to me.

Questioning Julian was even worse.

He knows a lot of damning details about Langdon.

[Steph sighs]

I'm gonna have to pull it out of the bag

for this closing statement.

- [Bart] Yes, darling.

I'll be home just as soon as I've delivered

this guilty verdict.

Ermm... verdict.

[drum segment]

- As you know,

this is one of the most sought after vacancies in the State.

Only the top few percent make it here.

But I have to say,

you're an impressive candidate, Yasmin.

Is that your reference?

- Yeah.

- You did placement at Metropolitan Sexual Health?

That must have been challenging.

[Dr. Davis chuckles]

- Oh.

It was fine.

I guess.

- Yasmin?

Are you okay?

[sitar music]

♪ Think I really like you, Gwenno ♪

♪ You're like a cup of cappuccino ♪

[sitar music]

Gwen.

Hey, Gwen.

It's me.

I'm Greg.

This is my sitar.

[Greg sighs]

Come on. Come on.

I'm Greg.

Hey, Gwen.

[Greg breathes heavily]

Gwenno?

Gwenno!

Gwenno?

You here?

- Greg! [Greg sighs with relief]

I've got big news.

- Same.

I've got something really important to sing.

But you go first.

- I'm going to go work at a school in Uganda.

Isn't that great?

I'll get to work with kids,

and I don't even need a degree

because they'll literally take anyone.

- That's...

Boy.

That's great news, Gwenno.

That is...

That is awesome.

Uganda, hey? [Greg chuckles]

Wow. Far out.

- Yeah.

What was your big news?

- Oh, nothing.

[Greg chuckles] No big deal.

[Greg laughs]

Just,

I play the sitar now.

- What the hell is a sitar?

- Langdon Marsh, with great malice aforethought,

engaged in an affair with Julian Clairmont

in an attempt to bribe him.

Due to this profound transgression,

it is my belief that Langdon Marsh has no place,

or right, practising medicine.

- Well put, Amelia.

I don't know how you'd ever argue

against such an elegant prosecution.

[Bart chuckles softly]

Regardless.

[Bart sighs]

Dr. Huddleston, your closing statement.

[Steph exhales]

- Hands up, who here has had an STI?

- Oh, oh.

Guilty.

- [Steph] Yeah.

Yeah, I thought as much.

Having an STI is scary.

But when patients walk through our door,

Langdon makes them feel safe.

So what if he tried to seduce a judge for a lump of metal?

Metro Sexual hasn't been the same since Langdon left.

Not for the patients,

and not for me.

So I wanna put on record

that if Langdon goes,

then I go.

You got that, Herman?

- Hm?

- Steph, you don't need to...

- Yes,

I do.

- Well, thank you, Dr. Huddleston.

That was very touching,

but extremely misguided.

Alright, unless there are any final words,

my verdict:

Dr. Marsh, regrettably,

in light of what I've seen today,

I have no choice but to find you completely and utterly-

- [Yasmin] Wait!

Langdon didn't sleep with Clairmont.

Julian's been lying.

- [Amelia] What?

Why on earth would he do that?

- I was asking myself the same thing,

and then it occurred to me.

Someone's bribing him.

Right, but who has the money

to bribe someone to say exactly what they want, right?

Who happened to be at the right place

at the right time to take the video?

And who got a job as a stenographer

just to watch Langdon get taken down?

Oh my god, he did!

- I [Herman chuckles]

do genuinely have lots of money,

but the rest is ridiculous!

Why?

- Because I got the placement at Metro Sexual,

despite the fact that you won it.

And you blame that for why you flunked medicine.

- Fine.

How much is it gonna cost to keep this under wraps?

Five?

10g?

- Oh, for Pete's sake.

- Okay. [Herman chuckles]

I could perhaps stretch to 20.

[Herman chuckles]

- Oh god, what a mess.

I will deal with you two later.

In the meantime, Dr. Marsh,

in light of recent evidence,

I have no recourse

but to find you completely and utterly...

- I'm back, baby!

[Langdon screams]

In your face!

[Langdon laughs]

[files thump on floor]

- I was already packing.

- So things are back to normal.

More or less.

Langdon is doing his best not to get caught up

in his own drama.

- There you go.

- [Steph] We lost our receptionist to Africa.

- I'll see you later.

- [Steph] Greg's offered to lend a hand

until we can find a new one.

[Greg sniffs]

And I re-offered Yasmin a full-time position

here at Metro Sexual,

which she accepted.

- Yeah, I'll stick around for a bit.

[Yasmin chuckles]

Until another interview comes along.

Yeah, when I first got here,

I thought sexual health doctors

were no better than janitors or vets.

But someone's gotta poke at your icky genitals,

and it turns out one of those someones is me.

[Langdon chuckles softly]

[Langdon sighs]

[Langdon sighs louder]

- Hey, mate.

Figured we didn't get to celebrate beating SexNow,

so...

Pub?

- Shit, yeah.

- Come on.

I mean, it's your shout though.

- Oh.

Sure, sure.

That's fine.

[The Creases "Is It Love"]

Ready to order?

- Just two more ticks.

- Excuse me, Dr. Marsh?

Hey.

I heard about the framing from a source

who wishes to remain anonymous.

I should have believed you.

Can I get you a drink?

- Yeah.

That'd be fine.

- Okay.

Thank you.

[Calvin chuckles]

[Calvin sighs]

- Five margaritas, please.

- Oh, okay.

[The Creases "Is It Love"]
