Nina (2015–…): Season 1, Episode 1 - La rentrée - full transcript

- Are you sulking?
- Not at all.

I shouldn't have told you.

Your father has a right
to a new life. It's not a problem.

You'll see them at work every day.

Why work at the same hospital?

So you can stay with your friends.

I don't have any.

- I know it's hard.
- It's OK, I'm fine.

I'm not a kid.

- You're 14, Lily.
- 14-and-a-half.

You don't have to walk me
to school.



Excuse me. Thanks.

I'll let you go in 3 1/2 years, OK?

I don't believe it!

No, don't move.
Don't move!

OK.

Lily, your scarf, quick.

He was speeding.

- I didn't see him...
- Call an ambulance.

Is that 15?

Hold my hand.
Are you OK? Can you hear me?

Squeeze my hand if you can hear me.

- What's your name?
- Jean-Charles.

OK, Jean-Charles.
You have a haemorrage.

Stay back! Help's on its way.
You'll be OK.



OK? You're...

Oh, no...
Lily, I need you to press here.

Make a fist and press hard.

OK.

- Can I help you?
- No, stay back.

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6...

They'll be here in 5 minutes.

He's arresting.

OK.

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10,

11, 12, 13, 14, 15.

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6...

Shit, Mum, you saved him!

Keep pressing.

And don't swear.

OK?

I brought him back.

- How many massages?
- 2 cycles.

The neck brace!

- We'll take over. Thanks, doctor.
- I'm not a doctor.

BACK TO SCHOOL

- Yes?
- Excuse me.

I'm new. Nina Auber.

I know.

Here's a ticket for your uniform.

It's easy: building B, west wing,
blue corridor, door C21.

OK. Thanks.

"Building B, blue corridor,
west wing, door C21..."

"Building B, west wing,
blue corridor...

"door...

"C..."

She didn't say what floor.

"Blue corridor."

19.

20.

21.

What are you doing?

Looking for the laundry.

- It's not here.
- I'm sorry.

Get lost. Go on!

No. I... Not pink.
I'm a nurse, not a midwife.

I know, but that's how
it came out of the machine.

- Don't you have another?
- No. You're too late.

Thanks.

Hello. Nina Auber,
the new trainee nurse.

Are you still on winter time?

Sorry, it won't happen again.

You all say that at first.

Léo, come here.

Nina, this is your
nursing mentor, Léo.

- Oh, shit.
- Pardon?

Nothing.

Your pager.

- Have a good shift.
- Thanks.

I don't believe it!
The new girl is the boss's wife!

- You gonna report me?
- I'm no longer his wife.

I won't say anything.

But don't stay here.
It'll get out.

It's not your problem.

Got nowhere to go?

Enough with the social-worker stuff.

Find me a patient
who needs more than aspirin.

A&E sent us a 25-year-old woman.

Nausea, fatigue, headaches:
she thinks she has cancer.

- Is that all?
- She's in here.

Ah, I see.

She's fine.
All her exams are normal.

Give her to that half-wit intern.

Fake illness, fake doctor: bingo.

- Sir...
- Thingy, my shift is over.

He's not going to examine her?

- I wouldn't...
- You're not me.

Don't you think we should...

No, I don't.
She's 25, has nausea.

She's either pregnant
or has a bad hangover.

Either way, get rid of her.

You didn't even touch her.

- Oh! Look, Thingy...
- Nina.

Whatever. My shift's over.
I'm going for a rest.

Disturb me and I'll have you fired.
Even if you're the boss's wife.

I'm not any more.

Good, it'll be easier, then.

Nice smock.

What's your problem?

You're asking me that?

You want to do the doctor's job?

You're just a rookie here, OK?

- You should've studied medicine.
- I did.

Then why are you here?

- Want my life story?
- No. We've work to do.

No. I want a scan.
I have cancer. You'll see.

First I need to examine you.

Sure you're a doctor?

- You look like a doctor.
- I'm just a nurse.

Léo, got a minute?

Coming.

People your age
rarely get cancer.

People your age are rarely right.

Any abdominal pain?
Weight loss?

I lost 10kg in 3 months.

- Stop it, it's useless.
- Chloé.

- Let us reassure you.
- How can I be reassured?

My mother died of cancer,
my father, my grandparents, my aunt.

Isn't that enough to worry about?

Don't move, please.

- Shall we book a scan?
- I have to assess her first.

No. She just needs reassurance.

- And if she has no cancer?
- Then do the exams.

- Dr Proust said...
- Wait!

- Do you want to be a doctor?
- Well, yes.

Then make your own decisions.

OK.

What's your story?

Got bored at home
and decided to be a nurse?

Now you're interested?

I look at you
and see that something's wrong.

You're right, it is.

My daughter was sick.

So I know about hospitals,
doctors and nurses.

No. Leave your personal life
in the cloakroom.

Otherwise you won't last long.

Oh, no, I don't believe it!

There's no signal here!

You can only get a signal
in one place.

It's not the administrator's job
to prescribe a colonoscopy!

Lily? It's Mum.

I know.
I have a class.

Sorry, darling. Are you OK?

I'm fine.

I can't pick you up tonight.
Is that OK?

Mum, I beat cancer.
I can get home on my own.

OK.

See you later, my love.

See you.

Nina?

This is Hélène.
Hélène Maurier.

Nina Auber.

Delighted.
Lily talks about you a lot.

Really?

I can't say the same thing
about you.

I must go, I have a ton of work.

Have a good first day.

- I'm sorry.
- It's fine.

Lily told me this morning.

I said it's fine.

You can see whoever you want.

- Even a 25-year-old intern.
- 30-year-old.

She's 30. She's a paediatrician.

Even better!

Handover is first thing.

Then around 10,
it's the doctors' staff meeting.

Where'd he come from?

What are you doing?
Looking for your parents?

What?

He's Greek.
His mother is sick.

She's in the corridor.

Madam? Where does it hurt?

Take care of her.
I'll get Antonakis.

You OK?

- Want some water?
- No, thanks.

Where's my mum?

She's here.

Everything will be OK...

It's acute appendicitis.
Call Surgery.

Oh, great!

You'll be OK.

We'll take care of her, right?

Stomach ache...

What's going on?
Can you hear me?

You're bad luck. Call the
paediatrician. I'm going to Surgery.

Don't move, darling.

All right, son?

His joints hurt.

- You speak Greek?
- Yes. You'll have to learn, too.

39.7. It's probably bad flu.

Can you sit up?

Breathe deeply.

Jennifer, his lung sounds are normal.

Keep an eye on him.
Call me if the fever persists.

- OK.
- Nina?

- Can I be honest with you?
- Yes.

I know it's a delicate situation,

but I hope we can get on.

Sorry. I'm sure you're a nice person,
but I don't need a friend.

I just need to work.

- Those things don't belong to me.
- Where?

Up there.

I take 2 week's holiday
and someone takes my place!

Slow down.
I don't understand.

- Someone moved into my place.
- Where?

On the first floor.

- You're a patient on the 1st floor?
- No, I live there.

Those are not my underpants.

I left my stuff there, now it's gone.

Please! It's an emergency.

A guy who swallowed a fork
is an emergency.

Shit! How did he do that?

These are all the emergencies
we have today.

So your hypochondriac can wait.

Doctor,
Gastro sent us a gall bladder.

Sorry.

Last time we delayed a scan,
they needed emergency surgery.

- No-one else, I promise.
- An intern's promise.

- OK, but bring her up now.
- Yes. Thanks!

How did he do that?

Do you feel OK, miss?

I don't know. I feel sick.

- What's your name?
- Chloé.

Try to relax.
Put your hands behind your head.

That's it. Good.

I'm going now.
It will last 2 minutes.

OK? See you soon.

- You again?
- Don't worry.

Everyone gets dumped.

- I left.
- Seriously?

He was sleeping with an intern.

Yes, well, you'll bounce back.
You're what, 40?

39.

Guys love MILFs, so...

I've been single for 6 months
and I'm fine.

You haven't fucked for 6 months?

I haven't...
For 2 years.

You're kidding!

2 years!

2 years?

When your daughter's sick,
you don't want to...

Who's sick?

This is a hospital.
Everyone's sick.

Oh, right.

- Nina, are you finished?
- No.

- But who ever is?
- Yes.

Later.

Chloé's scan is negative.

No tumor, but her condition's worse:
nausea, fever.

- What can I do?
- Give me your opinion.

- I'm not a doctor.
- Only you think I can be one.

- I'll see her alone.
- OK. I'll wait here.

- What's wrong?
- I don't know.

I can hardly breathe.

Lie down on your back.

I'll sit you up.

I'm gonna die.

No.

I know I am.

No.

Your scan was clear.
You don't have cancer.

I'll take your blood pressure.

- What are these marks?
- I don't know.

- Do you take drugs?
- No. I've never touched them.

I have cancer
but you can't find it.

It's low.

When did you last eat?

What's it to you?

- Chloé...
- Enough! Get out!

Leave me alone!

Get out! Get out!

- OK, I'm going.
- Get out!

It may be depression.

Her entire family is dead.

I don't know.

We need to admit her.

Check her family history.
Other hospital files.

Don't get involved.
Junkies are ten a penny here.

We try to help them,
they go back on it.

Before saying she's a junkie,
we should check.

The Chief wants to see
all personnel.

Listen up, everyone.

Someone has moved in
to a storeroom on the 1st floor.

This is not a hotel.

I'll be making inquiries.

If one of you is squatting here,
I'll have you fired. OK?

Thank you.

I swear I said nothing.

I'm not the police.

If one of you needs help,
come and see me.

You should have done so earlier.

Everyone back to work.
Thank you.

Wait for me, please.

Please!

Shit! They took my bags!
My whole life was in there.

I swear I said nothing.

I knew you were trouble.

This has nothing to do with me.

I'll get your bags back,
you search Chloé's file.

Come on.

Security
Restricted Access

Yes?

Dr Antonakis sent me.
Do you have the storeroom bags?

Affirmative.

- I need to take them to the lab.
- What for?

We found traces of rodents.
Possible leptospirosis.

I can't help you.
Speak to my boss.

Did you use gloves?

If there's an epidemic,
go straight to A&E.

Or to the job centre.

If you fetch them for me,
mum's the word, I promise. Here.

- Prepare the treatment room.
- Right away.

How did you do that?

I never lie, so when I do,
people believe me.

That's the last time, though.

Pity.

Did you find anything?

You were right.

Her tox screen is negative.

In the last 6 months, she's been
hospitalised more than 20 times.

Each time the exams show nothing.

She's shooting up scanners.

- OK.
- Where are you going?

- To get her some food.
- She won't touch it. Come on.

- Hi.
- Hi.

Vanilla yoghurt.
They can't resist.

Thanks for the pudding.

Sorry I shouted at you.

It's OK.

It looks good.

- You don't look anorexic.
- I've got no money.

I spent it all on hospitals.
They never found anything.

Maybe because you're not ill?

You're right.

I'm just mad.

Everyone else is dead,
so why shouldn't I be?

- Yes?
- Got the results?

No, not yet.

- I don't know. Yes?
- You busy?

No. I don't have
the haemoculture results.

I need them urgently.

Yes.

- Tomorrow?
- Yes.

OK. Great.

Don't let me down. Thanks.

Can I help you?

I want your opinion.

That's a first.

Can having scans make you ill?

It's possible.

In high doses, contrast agent
can cause kidney failure.

You'd need a creatine.
Whose patient is it?

Proust, but he dumped her
on an intern.

They're never good enough for him.

If you were less stubborn,
you wouldn't need me.

Go back to medicine.

I need a job, not a degree.

I'd pay for your studies.

I don't want to depend on you.

Or anyone else.

You can't be a nurse forever.

Is being a doctor so much better?

When I took Lily to hospital,

you could never see the doctors.

But the nurses were always there.

I was there, too.

But you froze me out.

It was Lily and you
against the world.

Even me.

Antonakis.

OK, I'm on my way.

The Greek boy. Coming?

What is it?

His fever's worse
and he has stomach ache.

- Where's Dr Maurier?
- In A&E.

She told me to call you.

It's acute appendicitis.
Call Surgery.

There's nothing free till 8pm.

- Say we can't wait.
- Yes, doctor.

Wait.

Doesn't it seem odd,
two on the same day?

It's unlikely,
but that's what's happening.

Or you diagnosed wrongly.

You want to be a nurse?
Then learn your place.

- Can you prep him?
- Yes, doctor.

I'm sure he's wrong.

He's the doctor.

He's going to be operated on
for nothing.

Then tell Proust. But you'd better
be right, or you've had it.

No. I argued with Costa,
but I won't stab him in the back.

So you're letting it drop?

- Proust will never believe me.
- I don't think so.

Your ex stole his job.
He'll want revenge.

I'll call him.

He won't answer.
You need to go and get him.

Right...

Nina, we just got a call.
Your daughter's in A&E.

What?

Look out!

Accident & Emergency

Lily Antonakis,
do you know where she is?

No. She's not here.

- Nice smock.
- What are you doing here?

I forgot my keys.
I came for yours.

I couldn't get in.

My love!

You never answer your phone.

I was so scared!

I'm fine. I'm normal. It's over.

I can see that.

Can I have them?

Yes.

Here.

What's funny?

You still need me and I like that.

Got to go.

- Love you.
- See you later.

Quiet Room
Temporarily Closed

Dr Proust?

What do you want?

- I...
- Not the hysterical one again!

No. She's probably had
too much contrast agent.

Did the kid work that out?

No, I did. That is...

- Yes.
- Not bad.

- Can I talk about 2 other patients?
- I don't give a damn about them.

I think Dr Antonakis
made a wrong diagnosis.

- Tell me all about it.
- 2 Greeks.

Mother and son. The mother
is having an appendectomy.

Her son presented with a fever.

We thought it was flu,
but he had abdominal pain.

Tell me more on the way.

Help me. Come on!

Hurry up!

Stay here, I'll be right back.

Stop that!

What?

Antonakis was wrong.
It's Mediterranean fever.

Did you hear me?

Antonakis said the same thing
half an hour ago.

The kid's gone back to his room.

Get out. This patient
has a real intestinal occlusion.

I need to take care of it.

Dissect.

I'm sorry!

I made a fool of myself!

He changed his mind!

You wanted revenge on your husband.

My ex-husband.

You're on my blacklist.
The last one is emptying bins now.

- I'm really sorry!
- So am I!

For you!

Miss Auber.

You're ruining my life.

Dr Antonakis got his job
thanks to your father's influence.

- A great doctor.
- Listen...

No, you listen.

I don't care
about your marriage problems.

But don't start another war
with Proust. OK?

I should have said nothing?

You should've told your superior,
who'd tell a doctor.

There's a protocol here.

It's the only way to steer the boat.

- You really want to be a nurse?
- Yes.

Then disappear from my radar.

- Is that clear?
- Very clear.

Get changed and go back to work.

- Can I come in?
- Of course.

Coffee?
Must be serious.

Proust and N'Guyen told me off.
Now it's your turn.

I'll pass.

Pity. I was going to apologise.

- That I'd like to see.
- It's not too late.

I know you'd rather not
be working here.

But learn to trust me.

I did that before.

I'm sorry.

For what?

For messing everything up.

Nina.

We need you.

Coming.

You won't be getting back
together with him.

What's it to you?

I'm your mentor.
It concerns me.

If your heart is broken,
your work is affected. Got it?

Got it.

Don't ever get back with your ex.
You're worth more than that.

If ever you forget,
I'm here to remind you.

OK.

We're treating her kidney failure.

She's getting worse.

Chloé, you don't have cancer.

It's the contrast agent
that poisoned you.

We'll treat your kidneys
and you'll get better.

We can treat her kidneys,
then she has to go home.

We can't just let her go.

She's right. In her state,
she could attempt suicide.

Doesn't she have family
to look after her?

We didn't find anyone.

We have to find a way to keep her.

We could ask a shrink.

I've been trying for 2 hours.
They're overwhelmed.

OK, I'll get one.

Thanks, Léo, that's great.
Thanks a lot.

- Fancy a coffee?
- Yes, thanks.

We've been paging you for hours.

Sorry, but all the psychos
came in today.

Come to our department
for a change.

Oh, no! Not today.

I don't like begging,
so don't make me.

What shall I do with the patient
who's allergic to hair? Shave her?

Welcome to Psychiatry.

Where can I find wax strips?

- One second, Dorothée.
- OK.

If you get rid of her,
I'll come with you.

No way. No!

I don't like begging,
so don't make me. OK?

I've got too much work
to take care of baby nurses.

Go downstairs
and talk to your superior.

I'm sure she needs help.

OK, but now before I regret it.

There.

What are we looking for?

If Chloé's entire family
died of cancer,

we'd be able to find
their medical records.

Or someone to contact.

Something that could
lead us to someone.

Look. "Lara Félix."

That's her mother.

OK.

Right... Now we just
have to find the file.

Got it!

Ow!

- I don't believe it!
- What?

Chloé's mother
had a hysterectomy at 16.

- She's adopted!
- Yes!

To treat her, she needs
to be transferred to Psychiatry.

I'll talk to my superior.

Léo!

We found a file. Chloé's adopted.
Her mother was sterile.

Does that get passed on
to the daughter?

Dorothée, do the patient's hair.

Ah! OK.

- I found her in Psychiatry.
- A patient?

A trainee.

You think she doesn't know
she's adopted?

I'm sure of it. She's scared
she has cancer in her genes.

That's all she talks about,
when she talks.

So we can reassure her.

She's in no state to take it in.

Do we have the right?
If her parents didn't want to...

I want to see someone!

It's OK...

What?
That's not my problem!

Get someone else!

I told her she wasn't sterile.
That's good news, right?

This is a bit brutal.
You don't have your parents' genes.

I don't understand.

They adopted you.

They died before telling you.

That's impossible.

Chloé, this is a big shock.

But do you know what it means?

That my parents
lied to me all my life?

What matters is that
you may have a real family,

still alive.

You're no longer alone
among the dead.

You'll be OK.

You can leave
all your anxieties behind you.

And do what?

Start to live.

That's your right, isn't it?

I'm really sorry.
I didn't know...

- Don't worry, it's OK.
- I thought it was a positive thing.

Excuse me. Do you know
where the head nurse is?

- That way.
- OK, thanks.

And is she nice?

Are you new?

I started this morning.

You get too close to the patients.

Yes, I know.

But you'll learn.

I'm not sure I want to.

- Feeling better?
- Yes!

Looking for your mum?

- Is he yours?
- He's a patient's son.

- See you soon.
- OK.

Let's go see your mum.

Who taught you to speak Greek?

My husband.

Is that him?

My love!

It suits you!

You look like a doctor!

- See you in a bit.
- See you.

- Want to come with us?
- Yes. I'll be 2 minutes.

Cool!

- We'll wait for you.
- OK.

- How was your first day?
- I'm shattered, but I loved it.

And that's only the start.

- It's your round.
- OK.

Has Dr Bensaïd, the shrink,
asked you to sleep with him yet?

Eh? No.

- That's what I thought!
- What?

He's never asked me.
I think he's gay.

- Never sleep with a doctor.
- Too late. It's all I do.

- It's over with your ex, OK?
- Drop it!

For once I get a bright trainee,
so I'm keeping her.

Damn. Lily.
I can't be late.

Damn. It gets better and better.

Where will you sleep?

I'll work it out.

Doesn't look like you will.

Come to my place.

It's small,
but it's better than the hospital.

- I'm fine.
- Come on!

A real bed, a real shower.
It's about time.

OK. But tomorrow
you kick me out.

OK!

- Dorothée's weird, isn't she?
- Amazing!

Gran, you're here!

Gloria! I told you to call me Gloria.

I'll open up.

Mum?

What are you doing here?

I've left your father.

What?

You left yours, I've left mine.

Can you put me up
for a few days?

The thing is...

Cool!

My love!

- Darling!
- You OK?

Hello!

Hello...
