Nina (2015–…): Season 1, Episode 2 - Pour le meilleur et pour le pire - full transcript
Lily!
Wake up.
We're late. Come on!
What are you doing there?
I can't sleep
with your mother snoring.
I need to shower.
You offered to put me up.
It's too expensive here.
I could move in
and share the rent. OK?
- OK.
- Great.
Your mother needs
to go back to your father.
That won't be easy.
Lily!
Lily?
Did you borrow my grey sweater?
I don't like old-lady sweaters.
You've got it?
You could ask.
You don't need it.
You spend your day in pyjamas.
- If you'd become a doctor...
- Stop!
My sweater.
I can't take you to dance tonight.
Will you be OK?
Don't worry. Dad will take me.
- What?
- I've got a dad.
You see him every day at work.
Bye.
FOR BETTER OR WORSE
Why doesn't Lily have any friends?
I didn't either.
I frightened people.
No kidding.
Am I your friend?
Why do you ask?
I don't know...
Thanks.
We work together
and I don't know your name.
Léonnie. But if you call me that,
I'll have you fired.
Then you'll be stuck
with Dorothée.
What's all this?
An auxiliary was attacked
by a patient. That's the 3rd time
this year.
- How is she?
She'll be OK.
The nurses have to do their work
until N'Guyen
comes out of his office.
Dorothée!
It's not what you think!
What's wrong? What have I done?
- Laurent!
- Let him breathe.
You had a cardiac arrest.
Get back to work.
Don't tell anyone.
Dorothée!
I'm going to fetch help.
Can you come with me?
If it's about Lily, it's all sorted.
It's not that.
- What is it?
- Hurry!
It's OK. I'm feeling better.
You're not OK.
Your pulse is very slow.
The cardio team are on their way.
I don't have time for that.
I'm in theatre all morning.
You can't operate
after a heart attack.
- What about my patients?
- They'll wait.
You nearly died.
You're the patient at the moment.
I'll come and see you later.
He could have thanked me
for saving his life.
Why did you lower his trousers?
What were you two doing
in that cupboard?
You want the details?
No. Actually I don't.
Leave it to your imagination.
Can you hurry up, please?
Nina! Where were you?
The rooms aren't ready.
We're behind.
Alexandra, can you get 29 ready?
What are you doing?
Do you know how this works?
Nina?
- How is he?
- Doing better.
That's the last time
I cover for you.
I can't help myself
when it comes to doctors.
- That's why I became a nurse.
- I didn't hear that.
Wait.
This is different.
We're in love.
Nina, this is Mr Barzigues
and his wife.
- Hello.
- Hello.
Right.
You're a mathematician?
He's an expert in fractal geometry.
- He speaks at conferences.
- Forgive her.
She's my biggest fan.
She deserves credit because
it's very... boring.
That's the word.
Good.
- How long have you had a fever?
- 3 weeks.
His doctor thought it was flu,
but it got worse.
OK.
Anything else?
I had a TGA a few months ago.
It was like
falling into a black hole.
But he's a rock.
He made a full recovery.
He can recite pi
to 100,000 places.
It isn't hard,
when you have a good coach.
Well... I mean...
A good... entertain...
A... A good sp...
Mr Barzigues.
- Can you hear me?
- Édouard?
- Mr Barzigues!
- Édouard?
- Fetch Proust.
- OK.
Édouard!
I asked for a masseuse.
It's an interesting case:
nothing predictable.
The service in this hotel
is appalling.
Can you tell me what day it is?
It's...
springtime...
- Does this happen often?
- No, never.
He must be tired.
Call for a psych evaluation.
OK.
Where's my cappuccino?
Can you raise your right arm?
Yes. Can't you?
Show me.
He's having a stroke.
Take him for a scan now.
No. I'm staying here.
I'm not moving.
I've booked the room for the week.
The tests confirm my diagnosis.
Your heart is too slow.
An AV block.
We need to know why.
I tell you
I'm not staying here all day.
You'd rather die having sex?
The majority of deaths
that occur during sex
involve extramarital affairs.
What's your problem, Antonakis?
The nurses on your floor
are out of bounds?
My problem
is that a 40-year-old surgeon
has a cardiac arrest
with no warning.
It's just tiredness.
I don't think so.
Listen.
I have my own doctor.
Go back to your patients.
Leave me alone.
If you want to get better,
let me know.
And we called your wife.
What did you tell her?
Nothing.
I'm bound by confidentiality.
But people...
People here are very talkative!
Bastard!
Hello.
Why are we here?
This is the spa.
It's awful!
What's that big machine?
It's a revitalising treatment.
Yes, but...
I'm not getting in.
It will do you good.
It's included in the price.
Well, if it's included...
Lie down.
There you go.
- I lie down?
- Yes.
- It's OK.
- I'm cold.
We'll put on some heat lamps.
Thank you.
I'll take off your glasses.
You'll warm up.
We'll be next door.
That's good timing.
- You're needed in the canteen.
- I have to get back.
The patients are complaining.
The trainees are covering
for the auxiliaries.
- OK?
- OK.
Thanks.
By the way...
What happened this morning?
You resuscitated a surgeon
in cardiac arrest.
Who was with him?
Pardon?
He wasn't alone when he collapsed.
I see.
Sexual relations
are forbidden at work.
It's always the nurses
who get fired.
I have meals to serve.
- I'm sorry.
- "Sorry"?
What for?
Turning our life into a cliché?
I know I've been stupid...
But...
I don't care about the girl.
I love you.
Don't worry.
I've been asked to head
the neurology department in Lausanne.
Are you going?
I hadn't decided,
but you're making it easier.
Not trying to stop me?
What do you want me to say?
I can't deny you this opportunity.
Maybe I wish you would.
Aren't you speaking to me?
Stop it!
Nina, please!
Katya Delacroix.
Did you save my husband?
Yes.
I thought you'd be younger.
He's married?
She really got you.
- Are you hurt?
- No. I'd fed up.
Everyone thinks
I slept with her husband.
You should have.
You might as well have.
Are you really a psychiatrist?
Yes. That's why I was called.
I've come to see a Mr... Barzigues.
I'll take you to him.
Come on.
I'll take you back to your room.
- Please...
- Who's that?
It's him.
Mr Barzigues,
what are you doing here?
He won't go back to bed.
He's been like this
since he came back.
Have you got the results?
An ischemic transient attack.
He should make a recovery.
- Where am I?
- In the hospital.
Why am l in hospital?
Let's go back to your room.
I'll come with you.
- But...
- I'm here.
- Come with me.
- I'm right here.
- I'm here.
- Come on.
I'm going to show you
a list of words.
I want you to read them out.
And try to memorize them.
"Violet. Camel. Tie.
"Currant. Drum."
Good.
Now repeat them to me.
Violet.
Camel.
It's clothing.
Shirt.
No? Not "shirt"?
I don't understand.
You said he'd got over the stroke.
He has, but he has Alzheimer's.
I'm sorry.
No!
That's impossible!
He's tired. It's understandable.
He travels a lot.
He'll get better.
We'll do everything we can.
But it will be hard for you.
If you need anything, call me.
Are you OK?
- Yes.
- Time for lunch?
Yes.
I save his life,
and everyone has a go at me.
Serves you right
for playing at doctors.
So I should have let him die?
- Don't start crying.
- I can't help it.
I can't console you.
- I could console you.
- I only like doctors.
- I'm nearly a doctor.
- You don't look it.
I'm not interested.
- Hold on. Hold on!
- What?
I didn't sleep with him.
It was Dorothée.
Why didn't you tell me before?
Why would I?
Why are you jealous?
- What?
- It's Barzigues.
I'm coming.
- Here you go.
- Thanks.
- What is it?
- I'm an idiot.
Nina wasn't with Delacroix
in the cupboard.
It was the trainee.
Those surgeons!
What's wrong?
Why are telling me this?
I'm not interested in whether
your ex slept with a surgeon.
But you are.
- What do you mean?
- You still care about her.
I'm not going to be a stopgap.
But...
He'll be OK.
Yes.
- Doctor?
- Hold on.
What is it?
My patient is having chest pains.
I think it's a pulmonary embolism.
So, what do we do?
Put him on oxygen, do an ECG,
blood test and chest x-ray?
Put him on heparin first of all.
- OK. He's...
- I'm on my way.
Yes?
- You have to make him better.
- Yes.
He has to chair a conference
in Toronto next month.
Will he be OK?
No. Nor will he be OK
next year.
Or the year after.
What do you mean?
He's 75, he has Alzheimer's.
He's had a stroke
and a pulmonary embolism.
You have to face facts.
You deal with the drip.
I'll see to her.
Could you not behave
like a human being?
You think I should lie?
When your child had cancer,
did you want to hear lies?
- No...
- Well, then.
Life is horrid.
You have to face up to it.
If you want to be help,
set up the drip.
Keep me informed.
- Are you OK?
- Yes.
It's not the first time
he's shouted at me.
I'm sorry.
Nina, the lady in 25 has fallen.
Can you help me?
- I'm coming.
- Thanks.
I'll leave you to it.
There.
You'll feel better now.
Don't get upset.
Proust is a bit abrupt.
"A bit abrupt"?
OK, he's horrid, but he's
one of the best doctors.
I can't stand seeing him like this.
We'll look after him.
He won't be like he was before.
He's always been brilliant.
Admired.
I admired him.
He was a genius.
- And now...
- Now he needs you.
Don't worry about me.
I'll stay here for a while.
OK.
What are you doing here?
I fell out with my cardiologist.
I've come to see your boss.
Have you worked with Antonakis long?
You know him well?
Married for 15 years.
Doesn't mean anything.
That's true.
- I'd better go.
- No. Stay.
You can be a witness
if he hits me.
I don't understand.
Bradycardia caused the attack.
Now your heart rate is normal.
- That's good.
- It's not normal.
Cardiology found nothing?
Listen.
My heart let me down.
Do what you want, I have to go.
No. You have high blood pressure.
You need to stay here
for monitoring.
There's no point.
Let me do my job.
- I shouldn't have come.
- Did you hear me?
Nadine, Delacroix has fainted.
I need a room
and a cardiac monitor.
Yes, doctor.
And call his wife.
Yes.
Hello, sir.
Take it slowly.
We'll look after you.
All right?
You can start it.
Something's not right.
The symptoms are contradictory.
My husband isn't in cardiology.
- Is he here?
- He fainted.
We're keeping him in for observation.
Nina, can you go with Mrs Delacroix?
- Yes.
- I'll get a bed.
OK.
- Goodbye.
- Goodbye.
It's this way.
I'm sorry about hitting you.
- I didn't sleep with your husband.
- Oh?
Nina! Nina.
Your mum's on the phone.
Says it's urgent.
Did she say why?
- Dorothée! Did she say why?
- I didn't ask.
Sorry.
Your husband is in room 15.
Yes?
Nothing.
Hello?
You took your time.
- Is it Lily? What's wrong?
- Lily is fine.
Why did you call me?
I'm bored with the stuff
in the fridge.
- I ordered in some food.
- So?
They don't take cards.
Where's your chequebook?
Lily can forge your signature.
What do you want?
I live with my mother.
My mother lives with me.
But not for much longer.
- Do you mind?
- Sorry.
Dad? It's me.
Auxiliaries on strike!
Did someone call Professor Auber?
Dad!
How are you?
Isn't that the auxiliary's job?
Yes, but they're on strike.
- I'll give you a hand.
- No.
I think I'm capable of serving meals.
OK.
Hello, hello.
Here you go.
Damn.
Ouch.
Careful, it's hot.
Hello.
Are you feeling better?
I'll take the lid off for you.
Hello.
- You're serving meals?
- Yes.
It's harder doing the girls
than the boys.
There you go.
- You're enjoying this?
- Yes.
It's nice to see you.
I don't see you often.
I know.
What with the divorce,
Lily, work,
I have no time to myself.
And now Mum's moved in.
She has to go back home.
She won't come back.
Since retiring,
she doesn't know what to do.
Can you see her stuck at home
with an old man?
You're not old.
She wants you to fight for her.
Like you did for Costa?
I fought for Lily.
I had no strength left.
- I can't make any guarantees.
- Thanks.
She is a piece of work...
I know.
No-one in here.
Hold on. Here.
Here we go.
Mr Barzigues, it's dinnertime.
I'll bring the table over.
- Is he on heparin?
- Yes.
Call ICU.
The dose is too high.
- So? How was dance?
- Exhausting.
- And how's school?
- Fine.
The girls are only interested
in clothes and the boys...
- The boys...?
- Boys are idiots.
Yes... Even me?
It's not the same.
You're old.
I'm old? Thanks.
No Hélène?
No. She's working late.
I like her.
Actually...
We had an argument.
- She's not speaking to me.
- What did you do?
Nothing.
She's jealous of Mum.
You won't get back with Mum.
It's not your fault.
Don't worry, I'm fine.
And you're divorced.
It's the hospital.
Hello?
What?
OK. I'm coming.
Sorry, I have to take you home.
It's an emergency.
Don't look like that.
10 times the dose! Do you
realise what nearly happened?
- I don't understand.
- You don't.
We ask you to give an injection
and you give too high a dose.
We're all overworked.
So am I,
but I don't kill my patients.
No-one has died yet.
Let's stay calm.
Hello.
What's the score?
Dad, then the husband.
Antoine?
I haven't come to take over.
- How's the patient?
- He'll survive.
And sue us.
I didn't make a mistake.
I'm sure of it.
Wait outside
while we talk to your supervisor.
It's not her fault.
Outside!
Your trainee,
your responsibility.
She's qualified.
I can't supervise her all the time.
You're suspended until
we know what happened.
I don't believe it.
What?
You can't treat the nurses like that.
Doctors no longer run hospitals.
And the patients benefit.
Not here!
- I've been suspended.
- No!
I didn't do it.
You've ruined my life.
Do you understand?
You're the boss's wife.
They won't fire you.
I fought for this.
I'll be on the street, without work.
Wait!
You play at being a doctor
and can't get the dose right.
I'll fetch my things.
I'm not staying at your place.
You'll be fine with your weird
daughter and crazy mother.
How is he?
You've got a nerve asking.
- I know how you feel.
- You know nothing.
Look at him!
He's breathing with a tube.
I'm sorry.
I don't know what happened.
You don't know?
You nearly killed him!
Go away!
Sorry.
It's great.
She smokes?
I don't believe it!
You could open a window!
You've got school tomorrow.
Go to bed.
Right. I'll go to bed.
Thanks.
Goodnight.
Yeah. Goodnight.
You should eat something.
It's delicious.
Then you can tell me
what's wrong.
I'm going to bed.
Goodnight.
Where's Léo?
She's not staying tonight.
There was a problem at the hospital.
She thinks it's my fault.
I'm sure it wasn't.
Are you angry with me?
No.
I'm angry with your grandmother.
And with myself.
I love you. That's all.
- How was dance?
- Great.
- We had something to eat after.
- Good.
I wanted to tell you.
The teacher gave us the subject
for the end-of-year show.
It's dodging.
We did improvisation.
We used sticks, brooms,
and we had to dodge them.
I fell.
I have this huge bruise on my leg.
It was great.
- Stay out of my way.
- Going to fire me?
I'm working on it.
I knew you'd be trouble.
I didn't get the dose wrong.
Tell that to the lawyer.
Auxiliaries on strike!
- They're going to fire Léo.
- No.
She hasn't done anything.
- Hello.
- Hello.
You do an auxiliary's job today.
OK.
Start by washing the patients.
- Nadine, I...
- No!
I'm not listening.
Start with Mr Barzigues.
- He's back on this ward.
- OK.
I'm sorry about what happened.
You've had a shock,
but you'll get better.
I've been calling you.
- Are you OK?
- No, I'm not.
I'm beginning to wonder
if I did make a mistake.
No.
We were in a rush. Proust...
I'm sure it wasn't you.
I would defend you, but I can't.
I get enough criticism already
as your wife.
I don't want to make it worse.
- It's Delacroix. Come on.
- I can't.
I'm in charge.
Come on.
Bradyarrhythmia.
I'll call cardiology.
My throat is burning.
I'll get you some water.
Here.
I'll be right back.
It's Dr Antonakis.
I can't get hold of him.
It goes to voicemail.
His hand is trembling.
- What?
- His hand is trembling.
I knew he was hiding something.
Show me your hands.
- Why?
- You know why.
Go on.
Essential tremor?
Since when?
It got worse when I was an intern.
You've been taking betablockers
to hide the tremor?
I'd never have been allowed
near theatre.
I was born to be a surgeon.
The adrenaline rush
when you pick up the scalpel...
Nothing can beat it.
The betablockers
caused the cardiac arrest.
Coming off nearly killed you.
Don't tell anyone.
No. But if you carry on,
you'll kill yourself.
And a dead surgeon is no use.
Thanks.
I would have missed it.
It won't stop them firing me.
It'll all work out.
I'm sure of it.
Don't go. I don't bite.
I've just diagnosed
a case of Kawasaki disease.
You don't see many.
Is the patient better?
No. He's going to die.
But thanks to me we know why.
You look like you need a coffee.
Without sugar.
Or it's revolting.
Don't look like that.
You're not accused
of nearly killing a patient.
It isn't funny.
I don't believe it.
You wouldn't do such a thing.
- So what happened?
- Don't worry.
- It was his wife.
- What?
It's understandable.
Imagine changing the nappies
of a guy who can recite pi
to 100,000 places.
Not drinking your coffee?
Wait!
- What do you want?
- Did you alter the dose?
You're crazy!
You're destroying my career
and my supervisor's.
- You nearly killed my husband!
- I know it was you.
- You've no proof.
- I will have.
The syringe
will have your prints on it.
Please.
We're both exhausted.
Tell the truth.
I'm sure you meant well.
I wanted him to get better quicker.
I didn't know
the drug could kill him.
I'm so sorry!
She was crying so much!
She was shattered.
She looked lost.
She nearly got you fired.
- And she's a nurse too.
- What?
- She's a nurse?
- She's got a thing on her car.
- A caduceus?
- Yes. A caduceus.
No!
She knew the heparin would kill him.
- Call security.
- OK.
- What's heparin?
- I'll explain.
Caduceus.
I can have one.
On my bicycle.
Stop! Stop!
Get out of the car.
- I didn't want him to change.
- What?
Do you understand?
I didn't want him to change.
Come on. Get out.
I didn't want him to change.
I didn't want him to change.
Why didn't you tell me?
I didn't want to disappoint you.
You married a surgeon,
not a charlatan.
Laurent, I'd have married
you no matter what.
So is this it?
Come to Switzerland.
Are you serious?
They're used to conmen.
What would I do in Lausanne?
You can stop lying to yourself.
Marion!
Marion!
- Where's my wife?
- She had to leave.
Will she be back?
Not for a while.
- Do you need anything?
- Pardon?
Lie down.
Do you need anything?
No, everything is fine.
- Sure?
- Don't worry.
Everything is fine.
- I'll let you rest.
- Thank you.

But his wife is a murderer.
It's not that simple.
- I need a drink.
- It's my round.
Let's not go on about it,
but I'm sorry. OK?
- OK.
- Cool.
Do you think my daughter is weird?
No.
I think she's adorable.
But your mother is crazy.
Let's drink to your crazy mother.
- My round.
- Are you celebrating?
I've got a new guy.
He's a radiologist.
That's like a doctor.
Kevin, stop sulking.
She's got rabbit knickers.
Your go.
Me?
She almost looks
like a normal grandmother.
What's a normal grandmother?
Nina!
- Who's that?
- My father.
- What's he doing?
- He's come to save us.
Dad?
Are you OK?
You can't stay here.
What's the point?
Sorry.
I can't come home.
Pardon?
I can't do that to Nina.
She needs me.
Subtitles: Eclair Media
Wake up.
We're late. Come on!
What are you doing there?
I can't sleep
with your mother snoring.
I need to shower.
You offered to put me up.
It's too expensive here.
I could move in
and share the rent. OK?
- OK.
- Great.
Your mother needs
to go back to your father.
That won't be easy.
Lily!
Lily?
Did you borrow my grey sweater?
I don't like old-lady sweaters.
You've got it?
You could ask.
You don't need it.
You spend your day in pyjamas.
- If you'd become a doctor...
- Stop!
My sweater.
I can't take you to dance tonight.
Will you be OK?
Don't worry. Dad will take me.
- What?
- I've got a dad.
You see him every day at work.
Bye.
FOR BETTER OR WORSE
Why doesn't Lily have any friends?
I didn't either.
I frightened people.
No kidding.
Am I your friend?
Why do you ask?
I don't know...
Thanks.
We work together
and I don't know your name.
Léonnie. But if you call me that,
I'll have you fired.
Then you'll be stuck
with Dorothée.
What's all this?
An auxiliary was attacked
by a patient. That's the 3rd time
this year.
- How is she?
She'll be OK.
The nurses have to do their work
until N'Guyen
comes out of his office.
Dorothée!
It's not what you think!
What's wrong? What have I done?
- Laurent!
- Let him breathe.
You had a cardiac arrest.
Get back to work.
Don't tell anyone.
Dorothée!
I'm going to fetch help.
Can you come with me?
If it's about Lily, it's all sorted.
It's not that.
- What is it?
- Hurry!
It's OK. I'm feeling better.
You're not OK.
Your pulse is very slow.
The cardio team are on their way.
I don't have time for that.
I'm in theatre all morning.
You can't operate
after a heart attack.
- What about my patients?
- They'll wait.
You nearly died.
You're the patient at the moment.
I'll come and see you later.
He could have thanked me
for saving his life.
Why did you lower his trousers?
What were you two doing
in that cupboard?
You want the details?
No. Actually I don't.
Leave it to your imagination.
Can you hurry up, please?
Nina! Where were you?
The rooms aren't ready.
We're behind.
Alexandra, can you get 29 ready?
What are you doing?
Do you know how this works?
Nina?
- How is he?
- Doing better.
That's the last time
I cover for you.
I can't help myself
when it comes to doctors.
- That's why I became a nurse.
- I didn't hear that.
Wait.
This is different.
We're in love.
Nina, this is Mr Barzigues
and his wife.
- Hello.
- Hello.
Right.
You're a mathematician?
He's an expert in fractal geometry.
- He speaks at conferences.
- Forgive her.
She's my biggest fan.
She deserves credit because
it's very... boring.
That's the word.
Good.
- How long have you had a fever?
- 3 weeks.
His doctor thought it was flu,
but it got worse.
OK.
Anything else?
I had a TGA a few months ago.
It was like
falling into a black hole.
But he's a rock.
He made a full recovery.
He can recite pi
to 100,000 places.
It isn't hard,
when you have a good coach.
Well... I mean...
A good... entertain...
A... A good sp...
Mr Barzigues.
- Can you hear me?
- Édouard?
- Mr Barzigues!
- Édouard?
- Fetch Proust.
- OK.
Édouard!
I asked for a masseuse.
It's an interesting case:
nothing predictable.
The service in this hotel
is appalling.
Can you tell me what day it is?
It's...
springtime...
- Does this happen often?
- No, never.
He must be tired.
Call for a psych evaluation.
OK.
Where's my cappuccino?
Can you raise your right arm?
Yes. Can't you?
Show me.
He's having a stroke.
Take him for a scan now.
No. I'm staying here.
I'm not moving.
I've booked the room for the week.
The tests confirm my diagnosis.
Your heart is too slow.
An AV block.
We need to know why.
I tell you
I'm not staying here all day.
You'd rather die having sex?
The majority of deaths
that occur during sex
involve extramarital affairs.
What's your problem, Antonakis?
The nurses on your floor
are out of bounds?
My problem
is that a 40-year-old surgeon
has a cardiac arrest
with no warning.
It's just tiredness.
I don't think so.
Listen.
I have my own doctor.
Go back to your patients.
Leave me alone.
If you want to get better,
let me know.
And we called your wife.
What did you tell her?
Nothing.
I'm bound by confidentiality.
But people...
People here are very talkative!
Bastard!
Hello.
Why are we here?
This is the spa.
It's awful!
What's that big machine?
It's a revitalising treatment.
Yes, but...
I'm not getting in.
It will do you good.
It's included in the price.
Well, if it's included...
Lie down.
There you go.
- I lie down?
- Yes.
- It's OK.
- I'm cold.
We'll put on some heat lamps.
Thank you.
I'll take off your glasses.
You'll warm up.
We'll be next door.
That's good timing.
- You're needed in the canteen.
- I have to get back.
The patients are complaining.
The trainees are covering
for the auxiliaries.
- OK?
- OK.
Thanks.
By the way...
What happened this morning?
You resuscitated a surgeon
in cardiac arrest.
Who was with him?
Pardon?
He wasn't alone when he collapsed.
I see.
Sexual relations
are forbidden at work.
It's always the nurses
who get fired.
I have meals to serve.
- I'm sorry.
- "Sorry"?
What for?
Turning our life into a cliché?
I know I've been stupid...
But...
I don't care about the girl.
I love you.
Don't worry.
I've been asked to head
the neurology department in Lausanne.
Are you going?
I hadn't decided,
but you're making it easier.
Not trying to stop me?
What do you want me to say?
I can't deny you this opportunity.
Maybe I wish you would.
Aren't you speaking to me?
Stop it!
Nina, please!
Katya Delacroix.
Did you save my husband?
Yes.
I thought you'd be younger.
He's married?
She really got you.
- Are you hurt?
- No. I'd fed up.
Everyone thinks
I slept with her husband.
You should have.
You might as well have.
Are you really a psychiatrist?
Yes. That's why I was called.
I've come to see a Mr... Barzigues.
I'll take you to him.
Come on.
I'll take you back to your room.
- Please...
- Who's that?
It's him.
Mr Barzigues,
what are you doing here?
He won't go back to bed.
He's been like this
since he came back.
Have you got the results?
An ischemic transient attack.
He should make a recovery.
- Where am I?
- In the hospital.
Why am l in hospital?
Let's go back to your room.
I'll come with you.
- But...
- I'm here.
- Come with me.
- I'm right here.
- I'm here.
- Come on.
I'm going to show you
a list of words.
I want you to read them out.
And try to memorize them.
"Violet. Camel. Tie.
"Currant. Drum."
Good.
Now repeat them to me.
Violet.
Camel.
It's clothing.
Shirt.
No? Not "shirt"?
I don't understand.
You said he'd got over the stroke.
He has, but he has Alzheimer's.
I'm sorry.
No!
That's impossible!
He's tired. It's understandable.
He travels a lot.
He'll get better.
We'll do everything we can.
But it will be hard for you.
If you need anything, call me.
Are you OK?
- Yes.
- Time for lunch?
Yes.
I save his life,
and everyone has a go at me.
Serves you right
for playing at doctors.
So I should have let him die?
- Don't start crying.
- I can't help it.
I can't console you.
- I could console you.
- I only like doctors.
- I'm nearly a doctor.
- You don't look it.
I'm not interested.
- Hold on. Hold on!
- What?
I didn't sleep with him.
It was Dorothée.
Why didn't you tell me before?
Why would I?
Why are you jealous?
- What?
- It's Barzigues.
I'm coming.
- Here you go.
- Thanks.
- What is it?
- I'm an idiot.
Nina wasn't with Delacroix
in the cupboard.
It was the trainee.
Those surgeons!
What's wrong?
Why are telling me this?
I'm not interested in whether
your ex slept with a surgeon.
But you are.
- What do you mean?
- You still care about her.
I'm not going to be a stopgap.
But...
He'll be OK.
Yes.
- Doctor?
- Hold on.
What is it?
My patient is having chest pains.
I think it's a pulmonary embolism.
So, what do we do?
Put him on oxygen, do an ECG,
blood test and chest x-ray?
Put him on heparin first of all.
- OK. He's...
- I'm on my way.
Yes?
- You have to make him better.
- Yes.
He has to chair a conference
in Toronto next month.
Will he be OK?
No. Nor will he be OK
next year.
Or the year after.
What do you mean?
He's 75, he has Alzheimer's.
He's had a stroke
and a pulmonary embolism.
You have to face facts.
You deal with the drip.
I'll see to her.
Could you not behave
like a human being?
You think I should lie?
When your child had cancer,
did you want to hear lies?
- No...
- Well, then.
Life is horrid.
You have to face up to it.
If you want to be help,
set up the drip.
Keep me informed.
- Are you OK?
- Yes.
It's not the first time
he's shouted at me.
I'm sorry.
Nina, the lady in 25 has fallen.
Can you help me?
- I'm coming.
- Thanks.
I'll leave you to it.
There.
You'll feel better now.
Don't get upset.
Proust is a bit abrupt.
"A bit abrupt"?
OK, he's horrid, but he's
one of the best doctors.
I can't stand seeing him like this.
We'll look after him.
He won't be like he was before.
He's always been brilliant.
Admired.
I admired him.
He was a genius.
- And now...
- Now he needs you.
Don't worry about me.
I'll stay here for a while.
OK.
What are you doing here?
I fell out with my cardiologist.
I've come to see your boss.
Have you worked with Antonakis long?
You know him well?
Married for 15 years.
Doesn't mean anything.
That's true.
- I'd better go.
- No. Stay.
You can be a witness
if he hits me.
I don't understand.
Bradycardia caused the attack.
Now your heart rate is normal.
- That's good.
- It's not normal.
Cardiology found nothing?
Listen.
My heart let me down.
Do what you want, I have to go.
No. You have high blood pressure.
You need to stay here
for monitoring.
There's no point.
Let me do my job.
- I shouldn't have come.
- Did you hear me?
Nadine, Delacroix has fainted.
I need a room
and a cardiac monitor.
Yes, doctor.
And call his wife.
Yes.
Hello, sir.
Take it slowly.
We'll look after you.
All right?
You can start it.
Something's not right.
The symptoms are contradictory.
My husband isn't in cardiology.
- Is he here?
- He fainted.
We're keeping him in for observation.
Nina, can you go with Mrs Delacroix?
- Yes.
- I'll get a bed.
OK.
- Goodbye.
- Goodbye.
It's this way.
I'm sorry about hitting you.
- I didn't sleep with your husband.
- Oh?
Nina! Nina.
Your mum's on the phone.
Says it's urgent.
Did she say why?
- Dorothée! Did she say why?
- I didn't ask.
Sorry.
Your husband is in room 15.
Yes?
Nothing.
Hello?
You took your time.
- Is it Lily? What's wrong?
- Lily is fine.
Why did you call me?
I'm bored with the stuff
in the fridge.
- I ordered in some food.
- So?
They don't take cards.
Where's your chequebook?
Lily can forge your signature.
What do you want?
I live with my mother.
My mother lives with me.
But not for much longer.
- Do you mind?
- Sorry.
Dad? It's me.
Auxiliaries on strike!
Did someone call Professor Auber?
Dad!
How are you?
Isn't that the auxiliary's job?
Yes, but they're on strike.
- I'll give you a hand.
- No.
I think I'm capable of serving meals.
OK.
Hello, hello.
Here you go.
Damn.
Ouch.
Careful, it's hot.
Hello.
Are you feeling better?
I'll take the lid off for you.
Hello.
- You're serving meals?
- Yes.
It's harder doing the girls
than the boys.
There you go.
- You're enjoying this?
- Yes.
It's nice to see you.
I don't see you often.
I know.
What with the divorce,
Lily, work,
I have no time to myself.
And now Mum's moved in.
She has to go back home.
She won't come back.
Since retiring,
she doesn't know what to do.
Can you see her stuck at home
with an old man?
You're not old.
She wants you to fight for her.
Like you did for Costa?
I fought for Lily.
I had no strength left.
- I can't make any guarantees.
- Thanks.
She is a piece of work...
I know.
No-one in here.
Hold on. Here.
Here we go.
Mr Barzigues, it's dinnertime.
I'll bring the table over.
- Is he on heparin?
- Yes.
Call ICU.
The dose is too high.
- So? How was dance?
- Exhausting.
- And how's school?
- Fine.
The girls are only interested
in clothes and the boys...
- The boys...?
- Boys are idiots.
Yes... Even me?
It's not the same.
You're old.
I'm old? Thanks.
No Hélène?
No. She's working late.
I like her.
Actually...
We had an argument.
- She's not speaking to me.
- What did you do?
Nothing.
She's jealous of Mum.
You won't get back with Mum.
It's not your fault.
Don't worry, I'm fine.
And you're divorced.
It's the hospital.
Hello?
What?
OK. I'm coming.
Sorry, I have to take you home.
It's an emergency.
Don't look like that.
10 times the dose! Do you
realise what nearly happened?
- I don't understand.
- You don't.
We ask you to give an injection
and you give too high a dose.
We're all overworked.
So am I,
but I don't kill my patients.
No-one has died yet.
Let's stay calm.
Hello.
What's the score?
Dad, then the husband.
Antoine?
I haven't come to take over.
- How's the patient?
- He'll survive.
And sue us.
I didn't make a mistake.
I'm sure of it.
Wait outside
while we talk to your supervisor.
It's not her fault.
Outside!
Your trainee,
your responsibility.
She's qualified.
I can't supervise her all the time.
You're suspended until
we know what happened.
I don't believe it.
What?
You can't treat the nurses like that.
Doctors no longer run hospitals.
And the patients benefit.
Not here!
- I've been suspended.
- No!
I didn't do it.
You've ruined my life.
Do you understand?
You're the boss's wife.
They won't fire you.
I fought for this.
I'll be on the street, without work.
Wait!
You play at being a doctor
and can't get the dose right.
I'll fetch my things.
I'm not staying at your place.
You'll be fine with your weird
daughter and crazy mother.
How is he?
You've got a nerve asking.
- I know how you feel.
- You know nothing.
Look at him!
He's breathing with a tube.
I'm sorry.
I don't know what happened.
You don't know?
You nearly killed him!
Go away!
Sorry.
It's great.
She smokes?
I don't believe it!
You could open a window!
You've got school tomorrow.
Go to bed.
Right. I'll go to bed.
Thanks.
Goodnight.
Yeah. Goodnight.
You should eat something.
It's delicious.
Then you can tell me
what's wrong.
I'm going to bed.
Goodnight.
Where's Léo?
She's not staying tonight.
There was a problem at the hospital.
She thinks it's my fault.
I'm sure it wasn't.
Are you angry with me?
No.
I'm angry with your grandmother.
And with myself.
I love you. That's all.
- How was dance?
- Great.
- We had something to eat after.
- Good.
I wanted to tell you.
The teacher gave us the subject
for the end-of-year show.
It's dodging.
We did improvisation.
We used sticks, brooms,
and we had to dodge them.
I fell.
I have this huge bruise on my leg.
It was great.
- Stay out of my way.
- Going to fire me?
I'm working on it.
I knew you'd be trouble.
I didn't get the dose wrong.
Tell that to the lawyer.
Auxiliaries on strike!
- They're going to fire Léo.
- No.
She hasn't done anything.
- Hello.
- Hello.
You do an auxiliary's job today.
OK.
Start by washing the patients.
- Nadine, I...
- No!
I'm not listening.
Start with Mr Barzigues.
- He's back on this ward.
- OK.
I'm sorry about what happened.
You've had a shock,
but you'll get better.
I've been calling you.
- Are you OK?
- No, I'm not.
I'm beginning to wonder
if I did make a mistake.
No.
We were in a rush. Proust...
I'm sure it wasn't you.
I would defend you, but I can't.
I get enough criticism already
as your wife.
I don't want to make it worse.
- It's Delacroix. Come on.
- I can't.
I'm in charge.
Come on.
Bradyarrhythmia.
I'll call cardiology.
My throat is burning.
I'll get you some water.
Here.
I'll be right back.
It's Dr Antonakis.
I can't get hold of him.
It goes to voicemail.
His hand is trembling.
- What?
- His hand is trembling.
I knew he was hiding something.
Show me your hands.
- Why?
- You know why.
Go on.
Essential tremor?
Since when?
It got worse when I was an intern.
You've been taking betablockers
to hide the tremor?
I'd never have been allowed
near theatre.
I was born to be a surgeon.
The adrenaline rush
when you pick up the scalpel...
Nothing can beat it.
The betablockers
caused the cardiac arrest.
Coming off nearly killed you.
Don't tell anyone.
No. But if you carry on,
you'll kill yourself.
And a dead surgeon is no use.
Thanks.
I would have missed it.
It won't stop them firing me.
It'll all work out.
I'm sure of it.
Don't go. I don't bite.
I've just diagnosed
a case of Kawasaki disease.
You don't see many.
Is the patient better?
No. He's going to die.
But thanks to me we know why.
You look like you need a coffee.
Without sugar.
Or it's revolting.
Don't look like that.
You're not accused
of nearly killing a patient.
It isn't funny.
I don't believe it.
You wouldn't do such a thing.
- So what happened?
- Don't worry.
- It was his wife.
- What?
It's understandable.
Imagine changing the nappies
of a guy who can recite pi
to 100,000 places.
Not drinking your coffee?
Wait!
- What do you want?
- Did you alter the dose?
You're crazy!
You're destroying my career
and my supervisor's.
- You nearly killed my husband!
- I know it was you.
- You've no proof.
- I will have.
The syringe
will have your prints on it.
Please.
We're both exhausted.
Tell the truth.
I'm sure you meant well.
I wanted him to get better quicker.
I didn't know
the drug could kill him.
I'm so sorry!
She was crying so much!
She was shattered.
She looked lost.
She nearly got you fired.
- And she's a nurse too.
- What?
- She's a nurse?
- She's got a thing on her car.
- A caduceus?
- Yes. A caduceus.
No!
She knew the heparin would kill him.
- Call security.
- OK.
- What's heparin?
- I'll explain.
Caduceus.
I can have one.
On my bicycle.
Stop! Stop!
Get out of the car.
- I didn't want him to change.
- What?
Do you understand?
I didn't want him to change.
Come on. Get out.
I didn't want him to change.
I didn't want him to change.
Why didn't you tell me?
I didn't want to disappoint you.
You married a surgeon,
not a charlatan.
Laurent, I'd have married
you no matter what.
So is this it?
Come to Switzerland.
Are you serious?
They're used to conmen.
What would I do in Lausanne?
You can stop lying to yourself.
Marion!
Marion!
- Where's my wife?
- She had to leave.
Will she be back?
Not for a while.
- Do you need anything?
- Pardon?
Lie down.
Do you need anything?
No, everything is fine.
- Sure?
- Don't worry.
Everything is fine.
- I'll let you rest.
- Thank you.
3,141...

But his wife is a murderer.
It's not that simple.
- I need a drink.
- It's my round.
Let's not go on about it,
but I'm sorry. OK?
- OK.
- Cool.
Do you think my daughter is weird?
No.
I think she's adorable.
But your mother is crazy.
Let's drink to your crazy mother.
- My round.
- Are you celebrating?
I've got a new guy.
He's a radiologist.
That's like a doctor.
Kevin, stop sulking.
She's got rabbit knickers.
Your go.
Me?
She almost looks
like a normal grandmother.
What's a normal grandmother?
Nina!
- Who's that?
- My father.
- What's he doing?
- He's come to save us.
Dad?
Are you OK?
You can't stay here.
What's the point?
Sorry.
I can't come home.
Pardon?
I can't do that to Nina.
She needs me.
