- Can I look yet?
- No, no, we are almost there.
- Ram, if I fall, the wedding is off.
Ouch!
(laughs) - Okay, open your eyes.
For my wife-to-be, breakfast alfresco.
- It's beautiful.
Thank you.
- I'm still on my best behavior.
I just don't want you to be changing your mind.
- Well, I like a man with a healthy dose of fear.
It's healthy for the marriage.
(phone ringing) - It's Lydia.
- Not today, please.
- I'll switch it off.
- Thank you.
- So shall I play mother?
- Yes, just not mine.
(phone chiming) Oh.
Lydia?
She's certainly persistent.
- Sorry.
Hello?
- [Lydia] Ram, you need to get into work right away.
- [Ram] Where are you?
- I'm at the building behind Caravel Market.
What's left of it.
(crowd shouting) Excuse me, excuse me.
Move, please.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Please move.
(dramatic music) (dramatic music continues) (dramatic music continues) The casualties need to be color-coded.
Red, yellow, green.
- Immediate, intermediate, delayed?
- Exactly.
There's triage cards in the bags.
Take them to Dr. Varma and help with the assessments.
I'll try and find someone in charge.
- Hey.
- Hey.
- [Ruby] When did it collapse?
- About 20 minutes ago.
- Stay back, please.
- Excuse me.
We need to commandeer two vehicles, preferably trucks.
- Please- - Okay?
- I think so.
Sorry, it's my first week.
- Then let me give you a piece of advice.
You don't have to feel in control, just sound like it.
Please move back.
(Lydia speaking in foreign language) Like that.
- [Ruby] Are you all right?
- [Officer] No, sir, you can't come through.
Please move back.
- Okay, let's have a look.
- Stay back!
- Hold this and press down firmly, okay?
- [Officer] Turn back!
(rubble clattering) - Wait, wait, wait, wait.
Hold onto me.
Okay?
- I hurt, I hurt my arm.
- Okay.
Is anywhere else hurt?
- Hm?
- Is anywhere else hurt?
(water pattering) (rubble clattering) - [Ruby] Hey, are you okay?
Can you tell me where it hurts?
- Hand up on the rail.
You can hold onto me.
(Sushma grunts) Careful.
This truck will take you to the hospital, Sushma.
- [Sushma] Oh, thank you.
- Just some minor cuts and abrasions.
No other obvious injuries.
He's going to take care of you now, okay?
You'll be all right.
- [Mohanan] Hello?
(suspenseful music) - Call out again if you can hear me.
- [Mohanan] Hello?
- Did you hear that?
- Your whistle.
Blow your whistle.
(whistle screeching) (suspenseful music continues) - [Mohanan] Hello?
- Right, we need some help over here, please.
(dramatic music) - I think he's trapped under here.
- [Mohanan] Hello, hello?
- Don't worry, we're getting you out.
(Mohanan coughs) Okay, get a line into his free arm.
I'll see if I can get this beam moved.
- Hi.
- Hi.
I can't move my arm.
- Try not to move it at all, okay?
Just try and keep really still.
(Mohanan coughing) What's your name?
- Mohanan.
- Okay, Mohanan, we're going to get you out of here, all right?
So I'm going to need to put this in to give you some pain relief and fluids.
I'm going to make you as comfortable as I can.
- [Officer] Stay back!
(phone ringing) - Doctor?
- Yes?
- Multiple casualties on the way.
- How long?
- Five minutes, maybe less.
- Uh-huh.
- Theater is prepped ready and I've told Nurse Patel to deal with the nonemergency cases.
- Thank you, and just let me know when they come.
- Yes, Doctor.
Nurse, come with me.
- Dad?
- Yes?
- Well, I heard what happened.
I thought I'd come in and help.
- Ah, that's a good boy.
It's appreciated.
Why don't why take care of the breakfast at the main ward?
I think they're running behind schedule.
- I mean, you have a lot of casualties.
I thought I could help with that.
- No, no, we are medically covered.
Don't worry about that.
Just take care of the place and look after the patients.
Do what you always do.
That will be a great help.
- Dr. Nair!
- Yes.
- Come!
(siren blaring) (officers shouting) (bell ringing) (heartfelt music) - [Ruby] Okay, you take him.
- Come.
Anyone that can walk, walk out.
- Clavicle, X-ray.
Injury, resus.
- My husband's at work.
I need to call him.
- Okay.
- He'll be worried.
- Don't worry, we'll sort it out.
(heartfelt music continues) - Will it be much longer, do you think?
- Hopefully not.
But, hey, in the meantime, you're stuck with me.
So, um, are you from Barco?
- I, I was born in Barco, but I've lived all over.
What else should I tell you?
- Anything you like.
Age, hobbies, star sign?
- I don't believe in star signs.
- Eh, neither do I.
But that's probably because I'm a Scorpio and we're very cynical.
(Mohanan moans) - [Mohanan] I'm sorry, I didn't get your name.
- Uh, my name's Dr. Walker.
Um, you can call me Ruby.
Listen, um, I'm just going to leave you for a moment, all right?
I'm literally just going to be over there, and I'll be back any minute.
Try an stay as still as you can.
I'll be back.
(Mohanan sighs) - The fire brigade can't do it.
They're saying they need a crane to lift the beam.
The closest one is three hours away.
- We can't wait that long.
He's losing a critical amount of blood from his left side.
- Can you get to the wound?
- [Ruby] No, not with the position he's in.
- [Gabriel] The forearm is pinned under the beam?
- Yeah, right below the elbow.
- Well, if the arm's crushed, then it's impossible to save it.
- [Ruby] Are you saying we amputate?
- I don't think we've got a choice.
We either do it here or at the hospital.
But at least if we do it here, we have a chance to save him.
What's his name?
- Mohanan.
- [Lydia] Get the operating kit.
- [Ruby] Mohanan?
- Walker, Ruby?
- [Ruby] I'm here, I'm here.
- Mohanan, I'm Dr. Fonseca.
Now, there's no easy way to tell you this so I'm just going to say it.
I'm afraid we have to amputate your arm.
- Mohanan, your arm is damaged beyond repair.
We need to get you out so we can treat your other injuries.
- I know this is difficult to take in, but we really do need to do this.
(stern music) - Is... Is there... (clears throat) Is there any other way?
- No, I'm sorry.
- I'm right here, okay?
- Can we try it again, please?
- I tried it four times already.
- You must be dialing the wrong number.
- It's Deepa Chemical on Makaran Road.
I looked it up myself.
- Yes, but try it again, please.
- Hey, what's going on?
- Sushma wanted to speak to her husband, so I just dialed the number.
- They said he's not there, but he is there.
Rajan hasn't missed a day's work in his life.
- Are you absolutely sure he went for work?
- He leaves at 6:45 a.m. every morning.
- Did you see him leave the house this morning?
- I'm not sure.
I was in bed.
- Ah, don't worry.
We will find him for you, hm?
- [AJ] What time did the building collapse?
- I received the call a little before 7.
(stern music) (phone ringing) Gabriel, I'm looking for someone.
His name is Rajan Variar.
Aged about 58, married to Sushma.
He might have been there in the building when the building collapsed.
- Uh, I'm sorry, I haven't come across any casualty that matches that description.
I think we got everyone out.
- Oh.
(sighs) Well, all right, thank you.
- Okay.
- When we get to the hospital, is there anyone you'd like us to call?
- No.
- [Ruby] Anyone who might be worried about you?
- No.
- [Mohanan] Are you going to put me to sleep?
- We can't give you a general anesthetic out here, but I'm going to give you a sedative.
So you will be conscious but very drowsy.
And, um, you will feel some movement, okay?
I'm going in now.
(Mohanan exhales) (gentle music) (birds chirping) You're doing brilliantly.
- Thank you.
You're very kind and a wonderful doctor.
- That's just the drugs talking.
- Maybe a little.
(Mohanan clears throat) I have a brother, he's a tailor, on Cortaro Road.
(Mohanan sniffles) If anything goes wrong... - Nothing is going to go wrong.
- His name is Ratheesh.
If anything goes wrong, will you please, please let him know that I'm sorry?
- Yeah, of course.
(Mohanan sniffles) Relax, okay?
I'm just going to put this tourniquet on, all right?
I'm just coming around now.
(heartfelt music) You should be feeling a little bit drowsy now.
It's really normal.
Just try and keep breathing.
He's had 80 K of ketamine.
- [Lydia] Okay, Mohanan, we're gonna take good care of you.
(gentle music) - I'm just going to put an oxygen mask on you, okay?
Just let me know if it's uncomfortable.
(stern music) I'm right here.
Just keep your eyes on me.
Keep breathing.
You're doing great.
I'm right here, okay?
I'm right here.
(dramatic music) Mohanan.
Mohanan?
Mohanan?
- Ready?
- Yeah.
(dramatic music continues) (flesh squelching) (flesh squelching continues) (Mohanan breathing) (dramatic music continues) - Standing by with the gauze.
- How much longer?
- Almost done.
(flesh scraping) (Mohanan grunting) - Ruby?
- Hey.
No, no, no, no, hey, keep your eyes on me, okay?
- Is it happening?
- Just keep your eyes on me.
Don't think about anything else.
Look at me.
I'm right here.
(suspenseful music) - Done.
All right, let's get him out of here.
Stretcher, please!
- Ruby.
- What?
- Thank you.
(heartfelt music) (Ruby exhales) (waves crashing) - Get your gob round that.
- No, ta.
- Go on, you might like it.
- I've reached the stage in life where you don't have to try anything new.
It's tremendously comforting.
- Suit yourself.
Gorgeous.
- Fancy a game of poker?
- Shut your face.
Listen, I'm meeting up with a couple of mates of mine.
Air stewardesses.
They're in town on an overnight.
You should come along.
- Nah, you're all right.
- [Greg] Well, what else you got planned?
- No, it's not that.
It's just, uh, I feel a bit, you know, two blokes, two women out together.
- Don't be daft.
It's not like that.
We're just a couple of mates.
- Even so.
- Paul, it's the 21st century.
- Not in here, it isn't.
- Don't you wanna do something different instead of sitting round here every night?
- I'm not coming here every night.
- Bev and Jackie, a real top laugh.
I really think you should come along.
- [Paul] If I say yes, will you shut up?
- Yes.
- I'll think about it.
- I'll take that as a yes.
(gentle music) (waves crashing) (children laughing) (bell dinging) (water swishing) (Mohanan exhales) - No sign of pelvic injury and the chest looks okay.
How's the ultrasound?
- There's a small amount of free fluid in his abdomen.
- Well, his BP and pulse are improving so let's just keep an eye on it.
- [Ruby] He was so brave.
- Mm, people never cease to amaze me, both for good and for bad.
Why don't you go for a cup of tea?
- I'm okay.
- Anyone would need a break.
It's been a hell of a morning.
- You don't.
- Surely you've realized by now that I am invincible.
- Thank you.
(heartfelt music) (children chattering) (heartfelt music continues) (children laughing) (heartfelt music continues) (Gabriel speaking in foreign language) - [Officer] Who builds these places?
- It could be dodgy builders, or it could just be bad luck.
It's best to not think about how these things happen.
I just try to focus on what's in front of me and do the best job I can.
- The man this morning with the amputation, will he live?
- I don't know.
Hopefully.
- How are we doing?
- We'll take a look at that arm in a minute, see what we can do to set things up for a skin graft in a couple of weeks.
(equipment beeping) (Mohanan chittering) What's happening to his pressure?
- It's down.
90/60?
- Mohanan, please try to stay calm.
We're doing everything we can.
It's ABO reaction to the blood transfusion.
- Do we know what his type is yet?
- I'll chase it.
(Mohanan panting) - Mohanan?
It's okay, I'm here.
- [Lydia] I definitely gave him O-neg.
- [Ruby] Could it be wrongly labeled?
- Oh, it's possible, but highly unlikely.
Nurse, could you run through some saline, please, and draw up adrenaline and hydrocortisone, stat.
How's his pressure now?
- Still low.
- The blood results are back.
He's hh.
- Well, that explains it.
Bombay blood group, as rare as they come.
- Well, how long till we get some in?
- [Lydia] Way too long.
It'll probably have to come from Mumbai.
- [Ruby] He did mention a brother.
- Right, get onto it, will you?
(traffic humming) (horns honking) (suspenseful music) - Sham, I told you to leave ten minutes ago.
Huh?
You don't know where the Princes Street is?
Okay, I'll go.
(scooter engine rumbling) - Mr. Kalita?
Ratheesh Kalita?
- I'm sorry, I'm in a hurry.
Can you wait for 10 minutes?
I'll be back.
- Oh, it's about your brother.
- Who are you?
- I'm Dr. Walker.
I work at the Good Karma Hospital.
Mohanan is one of my patients.
He needs a blood match urgently.
- Did he tell you to come here?
- Yes, he's been in a very serious accident.
- I'm sorry, I have to go.
- Mr. Kalita, he's very ill. - My brother and I haven't been part of each other's lives these last ten years.
I don't intend to change that.
- So you're prepared to let him die?
(heartfelt music) - So much better, Sushma.
Come, sit down.
- Are you hungry?
- He's at work, I'm sure of it.
- I'm sure we'll find him soon.
- They promoted him, you know?
He has 20 people working under him.
He's doing very well for himself.
Rajan once tried to tell me what it was that he does.
Something to do with mixing rubber and plastic.
He's a chemist, you see?
I don't understand these things.
- That makes two of us.
(chuckles) (Sushma chuckles) (gentle music) (whistle screeching) (rescuer speaking in foreign language) (dramatic music) - Careful, careful, careful.
(phone ringing) Female, late 20s, head and chest injuries, possible rib fractures.
She's in and out of consciousness.
- [Ram] Take her to the X-ray now.
- My mother... My mother, is she here?
- Who is your mother?
- Sushma.
- [Ram] Sushma Variar?
- Is she here?
- Yes.
Some mild concussion, some bumps and bruises.
She's been asking about your father.
Do you know where he is?
- He died four years ago.
- Dad?
Dad, we got a problem.
- Oh, that will have to wait.
We have found Sushma's daughter.
- That's the problem.
I can't find Sushma.
She's gone.
- That's the brother.
He was pretty reluctant to come in.
I think there's been some kind of big family argument.
- You know, the best thing I ever did was put 5,000 miles between me and my family.
We've got on brilliantly ever since.
Christmas is a dream.
- I'm going to stay here and make sure he doesn't change his mind.
- Let's hope he's a match.
- Surprise.
- Hey.
- What are you up to?
- Working, obviously.
- You're still pissed off with me, aren't you?
About the other night with my parents.
Oh, come on, I did say sorry.
- Yeah, in a text.
- And I genuinely am.
I shouldn't have put you in that situation.
- No, you shouldn't.
- And you're an amazing person.
And you're kind and probably great with animals- - [AJ] All right, all right, enough.
Come on.
- So we good, then?
- Yeah, I suppose.
- Brilliant.
'Cause you're taking me to a party tonight.
Sorry, uh, let me rephrase that.
Are you free tonight?
- My shift ends at six, hm?
- So it's a date?
- Don't be late, hm.
Get out of here.
(uplifting music) - How much longer?
- Uh, it'll take a little while, and then you'll need to rest.
Some people feel a bit lightheaded after giving blood.
- No, I'm just going to go.
- Look, I don't want to interfere- - Then don't.
I'm sorry.
Being here isn't easy.
- When he was trapped in that rubble, he said that if anything happened I should find you.
- Why are you telling me this?
- [Ruby] He asked me to tell you he's sorry.
- You have brothers or sisters?
- I grew up alone, just me and my mum.
- I was so proud of him when we were boys.
He could do no wrong.
I would always look out for him.
And then he started drinking.
And he changed.
He lost his job, lost his friends.
He lost everything.
He said he'd stop drinking, and when you love someone, you want to believe them, don't you?
- But, you know, alcoholism is a disease.
- Mohanan killed his wife.
(heartfelt music) He strangled her in front of their son.
Sham lives with me now.
Since that day, he hasn't spoken.
My brother spent ten years in jail.
I'll give him my blood, but I won't make any excuses for him.
Not anymore.
- Excuse me.
(heartfelt music continues) - The fluid in his abdomen has increased.
He must be bleeding internally.
- The blood's a match.
- Excellent.
Let's get him into theater right away.
Good call on the brother.
(Mohanan breathing) (dramatic music) - [Mohanan] Ruby?
(dramatic music continues) (people chattering) - I still don't see why we had to come here.
Isn't it a bit...
I don't know.
- A bit what?
- Romantic.
(Greg scoffs) People might think- - For the last time, it's just a drink with some friends.
- Who happen to be women.
- Will you please relax?
- I am relaxed.
I'm just not that great with meeting new people, male or female.
- You, my friend, worry too much.
You are great company.
You're interesting, you're funny, in your own way.
Just do what you'd normally do when you meet people on holiday.
- Talk about football.
- There you go.
- Tell a couple of jokes.
- If you like.
- Maybe do a card trick.
- Just be yourself.
You don't have to do a card trick or tell a joke or juggle on a ruddy unicycle.
It's just a drink with some friends.
- Whoa!
(waves crashing) (seagulls squawking) (group laughing) - Woo!
- Right, Jackie, tell me when to stop.
- Okay.
Um... Stop.
- And this is your card.
The seven of clubs.
- Oh!
(laughs) - No.
- Oh, bugger.
- (laughs) I'm sorry.
- In that case, this is the seven of clubs.
- Oh.
- This is going well.
(group laughing) - Where in the bloody hell was the seven of clubs?
- Oh.
- (chuckles) Oh, mate.
- Ah.
Ta-da.
- Oh!
(Paul laughing) - [Lydia] Let's try to find these bleeds.
Ah, there they are.
Against the liver.
Suction?
(suction tube whooshing) 80/50.
Get me a size 3 Vicryl.
We need to suture these vessels right away or we'll lose him.
(stern music) Dr. Walker?
There.
(equipment beeping) Suction.
No, he's losing too much blood.
You'll have to manually compress whilst I find the laceration site.
Grab ahold of the liver, press down on the spleen.
Dr. Walker?
Dr. Walker?
Dr. Walker?
Ruby, please help me.
(equipment beeping) Hold the bottom of the right lobe.
That's right, just above the gallbladder.
(door thudding) What was all that about?
- I'm sorry, I just lost concentration.
- I'm aware of that.
I want to know why.
- It won't happen again.
(heartfelt music) (birds chirping) (train horn blaring) (train rumbling) (rails rattling) (birds chirping) - Thank you.
Hello, Sushma.
We've been looking for you.
(Sushma sighs) - This isn't his station.
At first, I thought it was, but then I remembered.
I remembered everything.
- Let us get you back to the hospital.
I'll explain anything to you.
- He's not coming back, is he?
- I'm sorry.
- I keep telling myself that I'm getting better.
But I'm not, am I?
(birds chirping continues) I used to come and meet his train.
He used to look so handsome in his suit.
I thought he'd be here.
(heartfelt music) - My wife died 15 years ago.
Sometimes I'll be just going through my day and suddenly a song or a whiff or her perfume will remind me of her.
(heartfelt music continues) Let's go, shall we?
- Can we just sit here for a little while longer, please?
- Okay.
(train rumbling) (rails rattling) (children laughing) - Anupa?
What happened?
- I was in the accident, the same as you, you remember?
- Where's Rajan?
- He's fine.
Daddy's gone fishing.
He'll be home tomorrow.
I've spoken to him, and he knows we're all right.
- Fishing?
- Can you please take care of Sushma?
I need to talk to Anupa.
(birds chirping) (Ram sighs) So what type of dementia does she have?
- Alzheimer's, early onset.
She's had it for a couple of years.
She has good days and bad days.
Sometimes she's clear as a bell, but other days... - That's very common.
And very frustrating for you, I'm sure.
- I've tried telling her but she forgets, and then I have to tell her again.
Each morning, she finds out as if for the first time.
So now I just tell a kind lie.
He's gone fishing, he's at work, he's at the cricket.
- Don't worry, we'll arrange for someone to take care of her, until such time that you are back on your feet.
(heartfelt music continues) (children chattering) (heartfelt music continues) - I found out what he did, why the brothers don't talk.
Mohanan killed his wife.
It took me out of it for a second.
I'm sorry.
- When I was a junior doctor in A&E, the first life I ever saved was a young man, early 20s.
He'd had a full-on cardiac arrest, down for ten minutes.
Anyway, we brought him back and he made a full recovery.
Turns out, he was an armed robber who shot a policeman.
We treat what's in front of us and we move on.
This job is hard enough without making moral judgements on our patients.
- You asked me this morning if I was okay.
I'm not.
I came out here because my old life wasn't working, and I wanted a new beginning.
And now everything's more complicated than ever.
- In what way?
- If I can't trust my judgment, and if I keep feeling let down by people, I'm never going to belong anywhere.
(heartfelt music) - I wish I could make you feel better, but I don't have an answer to that one.
But what I can do is take you for a drink with some friends.
What do you say?
(heartfelt music continues) (group laughing) - Wouldn't you know?
- Bugger.
(laughs) Okay, is he an actor?
- Yep.
- Yes.
- [Bev] I've never heard of him.
- What do you mean, you've never heard of him?
He was, he was... - Oh, oh, is it that guy, uh, uh... Christian... - No, no.
- You're never gonna get it, Bev.
- Oh, god.
- Oh, no cheating.
Oh, Bev!
- Adam West, who's that?
- He was the original Batman in the TV series.
God, make me feel old now.
- That's 'cause you are old.
(group laughing) Right.
Same again?
- I'll have a beer this time, actually.
This isn't doing it for me.
- Ooh, says the cocktail connoisseur.
Have you ever had one of his cocktails?
- They're a crime against humanity.
- Oi!
(group laughing) - [Bev] Ooh!
Jacks, help me carry.
- You see?
I told you they were a laugh.
- [Paul] Yeah, they're all right.
Apart from when they're calling me old.
- Are my cocktails really that bad?
- Bloody awful.
- Yeah.
(vehicle rumbling) - Okay, so the bad news is I'm still banned from driving, but the good news is I've got an amazing plan B to get us to the party.
(Mandeep gasps) Your chariot awaits.
- Oh my god, this is brilliant!
(gasps) We're gonna have so much fun.
There's so many people I want you to meet.
- Uh-uh.
- Thank you, sir.
- Comfortable?
- Very.
- Hold on tight.
- Okay.
(Mandeep gasps) (Mandeep giggles) (uplifting music) (bell dinging) Woo!
- Very nice.
It's a perfect fit.
- There's Mala for you.
She got this made to measure and sent it to me.
I haven't had to do a thing.
The woman's a machine.
- You should get her to work here.
- (chuckles) It's a far cry from the first time I got married.
I never thought that I'd do this again.
- You're not having any doubts, are you?
- No.
I love Mala.
I'm certain of that.
It's just that with Deepa, I...
I still loved her.
I still do.
I'm sure she would understand.
- She would.
Now, I thought I'd take us all for a drink.
- That sounds like a good idea.
(uplifting music) (children laughing) (birds chirping) - Mr. Kalita?
- Sham knows his father has been away, but he doesn't know why.
He's getting to an age now, he'll have to make his own decision about him.
- For what it's worth, I think the longer you leave these things, the harder it gets.
(heartfelt music) I used to think it would be easier if he hated his father.
Certainly easier for me.
- You love Sham, right?
- Like he was my own.
- Then it...
It's probably not a case of IF you tell him, but when.
So when the time is right, just tell him the truth.
- Would you want to know?
- Yeah.
I would.
(heartfelt music continues) (heartfelt music continues) - Busy day, now?
- You could say that.
Lydia is treating everyone to drinks later.
- Oh, is it that time of year already?
- I think I'm going to abuse all this hospitality and get incredibly drunk.
- Well, it would be very rude of me to let you drink alone.
- This is true.
- Mm.
- See you there?
- I think so.
(horn honking) (traffic humming) (gentle jazzy music) - Hi, Mandeep.
- Hi, Mandeep.
- That's Miti and Jasu.
You'd really love Jasu.
She's got a really dark sense of humor.
(guests chattering) Ben?
- Hey.
- Hey, gorgeous.
AJ, this is Ben.
Ben, this is AJ.
- Hey.
- Hey.
- Hey, Ben, Arjun's here.
Come and say hi.
- [AJ] Hey, hey, who's Ben?
- Uh, he's my friend.
- Come on, Mandeep, I thought we were like on a date.
- AJ, I like you but... Oh, you're teasing me.
(laughs) - Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, totally.
- Oh my god, don't do that.
I thought I broke your heart or something.
Hey, go get yourself a drink and I'll introduce you to everyone later, okay?
(gentle jazzy music continues) (guests chattering) (group laughing) - You filthy bugger, you are.
- It's true.
(group laughing) - God, I always forget how hot it is here.
- That's why I often favor a sarong.
- [Paul] I'd rather sweat and look like a man.
- Oh, that's a lovely image, isn't it?
Thanks for that.
- (laughs) Hey, you know what we should do?
We should go for a swim.
- Oh, yeah.
- Oh, I don't know.
- Oh, come on.
- Ah, sod it, come on.
Let's get in!
Come on!
(group laughing) Come on, Paul.
(Jackie laughing) Come on!
- [Ruby] So where is Greg?
- He's out with friends, but he won't mind us making ourselves at home.
And the Lord said, "Let there be light, and there was light."
- Wow.
- Right, who wants what?
- Beer, all of it.
- Oh, god, there's a lock on the cabinet now.
- The thing about Greg is he never changes anything.
Take that.
Watch you.
- (laughs) Watch you.
Do we keep a tab or do we have to keep it in our heads?
- Oh, just pay him in kind.
- Oh, oh.
- What do you want to drink?
- Tequila.
- Okay, Tequila.
- Wine?
- Yeah, Mari, want some wine?
- How about some music?
- Hi.
- Hi.
(Gabriel sighs) - So how have you been?
Generally, I mean.
- Good.
You?
- Ah... Good.
- Good.
Actually, I've probably been better.
- Hey.
- I thought you had plans, huh?
- Yeah, so did I.
- You want a drink?
- Yeah, please.
- It's really good.
- Is it good?
- Yeah.
- Just in time?
- There you go.
- Thanks.
- Did I interrupt something?
- Ah, no.
Well, maybe.
It's a long story.
- Then don't bother.
(Gabriel chuckles) - Do you ever feel like you can't do anything right?
Like you're making a series of terrible decisions?
- Of course.
All the time.
Why?
- I need to figure out what I'm doing with my life.
I want to be better than mopping floors and washing sheets all the time.
- You've got plenty of time, huh?
- Hm.
- You know what?
Come on.
Let's go get our drinks.
- Cheers, ladies.
- Cheers.
(glasses clinking) Cheers.
- [Lydia] Ah, Gabriel, this is for you.
- Come on, Mari, how about a dance?
- [Lydia] Oh no, not your dancing.
- Why, what's wrong with my dancing?
- Oh my god.
- How long have you got?
- Ah, is that so?
Okay, I'll prove you wrong.
Mari?
- Oh, yes.
- Here we are.
- Oh, god!
Somebody stop him!
- Oh, no, I'm unstoppable.
- Are you all right?
(Mari laughing) - Lead me.
- What are you doing?
(laughs) You're not even... Oh my god.
(laughs) (upbeat folk music) (water swishing) - Welcome to Baywatch.
(group laughing) - Actually, I used to be a lifeguard at Starbridge Leisure Centre.
- Was that in the 1950s?
- Don't knock it.
Ladies love a lifeguard.
♪ All the ladies love a lifeguard ♪ ♪ All the ladies love a life ♪ - Oh my god, I've got crabs!
(Bev laughing) I've got crabs!
(laughs) (Bev screams) (laughs) It's all right.
It's only seaweed.
It's just seaweed.
(laughs) Ah, get off!
- [Bev] Jacks, come help me get him!
(group laughing) Come back here!
- [Greg] Bev, come on, it was just a bit of seaweed.
No, ah!
(laughs) (group laughing) (stern music) (couple laughing) (heartfelt music) (couple laughing) (heartfelt music continues) (heartfelt music continues) (water swishing) (heartfelt music continues) - Paul!
Paul, where are you when I need you?
Paul?
(stern music) Paul?
Paul!
