Nina (2015–…): Season 1, Episode 4 - À son image - full transcript
It's 7AM and this is Radio 2000.
The news with Raphaël.
Ouch.
Engaged.
Bye, Mum.
Lily?
What's all this?
- What are you doing?
- A bit of cleaning.
You never clean.
Well... See?
It isn't difficult.
I can do it.
I won't let this go.
Your father cannot take up
with the maid.
You left him.
So?
It's for me!
It's for me!
- Lily?
- See you later.
What's all this?
"This" is William.
But Lily prefers "Will".
How long...?
Two months.
She never told me.
Probably to avoid
a lecture on contraception.
Fine. Léo! We're late!
IN HIS OWN IMAGE
- Hello.
- Hello.
- Miss Mercadier?
- Yes.
I'll show you to your room.
The day team will look after you.
OK.
Are you OK?
Yes. Fine.
This way.
On Thursdays,
you dress like a medical secretary.
Why won't you tell me? Go on!
I'll give you the house if you
tell me who you're sleeping with.
Dream on.
- Hi, girls.
- Hi.
Léo, will you be wearing a long dress
next Thursday?
Miss Mercadier, you're here
for a checkup before...
gastroplasty.
Be right back.
What is it, Doctor?
You deal with her.
I don't like fat people.
Hello.
Mrs Kaminsky, you're here
because of your bad headaches?
I'm not Kaminsky.
- Where is she?
- Gone.
- Where?
- I don't know.
OK.
I'm sorry. Dr Proust had to...
There was an emergency.
So... he's not here.
So, you want a gastric band?
Yes. But the surgeon
won't operate.
My health isn't good enough.
OK. Can I examine you?
What's wrong?
I'm fat.
No. Medically, what's wrong?
I have pain in my stomach
and I'm always out of breath.
- For how long?
- A few weeks.
OK. Did you put on weight
during that time?
Do I look slim?
When was your last period?
My period?
Last week.
Why?
Your symptoms
could be due to pregnancy.
- Impossible.
- Do you use contraception?
I've never had sex.
Ah. OK.
It could be your thyroid.
We'll test that.
- Nina, can you do that?
- Of course.
I'll leave you to it.
Thanks.
He doesn't know
how to handle women.
Do I disgust you?
No!
Because... I disgust myself.
And don't talk to me
about internal beauty.
I'll start with taking care of you.
Are you OK?
I can't breathe.
Your blood pressure is high.
Take it easy.
Breathe though your nose.
- I'm suffocating.
- I'll be back.
Breathe deeply.
You're fine.
I'll get the doctor.
Can you please come?
It's urgent.
Is it the ballerina?
She's struggling to breathe.
I'm not surprised.
You didn't examine her.
But I know what's wrong.
Not everything is linked
to her weight.
Really?
I'll be back.
Can you do a workup?
Come on.
How long have you been
taking appetite suppressants?
I don't take any.
Right. And I'm an elf.
If you really want to die...
Here.
Take these. It will be quicker.
We need the bed.
Sorry! OK?
There.
Fine. OK.
I took appetite suppressants.
It was ages ago.
- I believed in miracles.
- You didn't lose weight.
The amphetamines
have wrecked your cardiac valves.
Is that bad?
No! If we do nothing, you die.
Well? Her problems
aren't linked to her weight?
I was wrong.
But the way you told her!
- Listen, thingy.
- Nina.
Yes. Let's not...
If you really want to annoy me,
carry on.
Now give her
3 ampoules of clonidine.
Call cardiology.
Tell them it's urgent.
Quickly!
OK. Thank you.
Cardio can't take her for 2 hours.
Call them back.
This is a public hospital.
We treat 600 patients.
They have to wait.
If you want to complain, ask
N'Guyen to replace the radiologist
who retired.
Are you Catholic?
Well...
Come with me.
QUIET ROOM
- What's wrong?
- Headaches.
Antonakis would examine her
but she won't go back to her room.
- What do you want me to do?
- You're the trainee.
Show some initiative.
Hello, sir.
I'm not stopping.
You seem better.
Have a good day.
Holy Mary, mother of God,
I beg
you to help me.
Hello.
Sister Nina.
The Virgin heard your prayers.
She's sending a great doctor
to heal you.
It hurts so much!
Come with me.
There.
The light.
I can't see the light.
Look at me.
Right. What's wrong?
I started having headaches
months ago.
I was nauseous
and my eyes were burning.
It was unbearable.
I wanted to die,
but then the light appeared.
The light of God.
Without it, I'd never have
been able to bear it.
Madam, you're having migraines.
The light is a side effect.
An ophthalmic aura.
An hallucination?
You could call it that.
No.
That's not possible.
You were there, sister.
You saw it.
I'm sorry.
I didn't see anything.
I'll prescribe you
some migraine medication.
- Doctor.
- Yes?
I'm not mad.
No. You're ill.
We'll look after you.
See you later.
Sister Nina?
I had to improvise.
No! Keep it on.
It suits you.
- Did you know Lily has a boyfriend?
- Didn't you?
No.
- He turned up this morning.
- She wanted you to meet him.
I hardly saw him.
She doesn't want you
to invite him to dinner. She's 14.
- She hasn't started her periods.
- What?
You two need to have a chat.
- No!
- Yes.
Here!
Why didn't she tell me?
I've increased the oxygen.
Tachycardia.
This will lower your heart rate.
She needs an ultrasound.
OK.
How can I? We're busy.
I know, but it's an emergency.
Do you want me to call Proust?
- I'll tell the radiologist.
- Thanks.
I have to go. The radiologist
will come and get you.
Please stay.
I'm scared on my own.
Miss Mercadier!
Miss Mercadier!
Can I stay with her?
Yes.
The heart is fast.
There's a lack of pressure.
The mitral valve is damaged.
- What does that mean?
- It's a valve
that moves blood in your heart.
It's been damaged by the drugs.
- Is it serious?
- It's very badly damaged.
It needs to be replaced. You risk...
I can't get the band fitted?
No. Not for the moment. Sorry.
I'll stay fat?
Are you not checking her abdomen?
I was asked to do
a cardiac ultrasound.
The patient has stomach pains.
You could take a look.
Do nurses make these decisions?
No initiative.
Are you just here to play
with your toys?
OK! I'll take a look...
as you're the wife of the boss.
Not any more.
Turn over, please.
This will be cold.
The large colon is compressed.
There's a lot of...
- You're pregnant.
- What? I'm not pregnant.
Are you sure?
Look!
You can see the baby's face.
It's impossible.
I'm still having periods.
That happens. You can be pregnant
and still have bleeding
which seems like a period.
OK, Louise?
I don't want the baby.
I want it removed.
- That's not possible.
- It is.
No. You don't understand.
It's over 6 months.
Come quick! She cried out
then fell on her knees.
Mrs Kaminsky?
Mrs Kaminsky!
Annabelle!
The Virgin heard me.
Call Psych and fetch Antonakis.
I don't think it's a psychosis.
A mystical patient
could have a strange interpretation
of a migraine aura.
Or maybe the Virgin
really did appear.
Something's wrong. The medication
should have calmed her down.
We need a neuro workup.
It could be a brain tumour.
I'll leave you to handle radiology.
Could I please change rooms?
Sorry. We're full.
This talk of the Virgin
is getting me down.
- Come on, I'll make your bed.
- Really?
I promise, we've no rooms.
- If one becomes free, I'll get it?
- I promise.
I've worked all my life.
Looking after others.
Never myself.
My husband, my patients.
Everything else took priority.
I thought when I retired,
I could enjoy life.
What are you doing here?
Getting some air.
I miss the hospital.
You were a gynaecologist?
I was a fertility specialist.
I made hundreds of babies.
She even had time to have one.
But not to look after it.
If you'd completed your studies,
you'd be head of department,
not your husband.
Excuse me.
Nurses have urgent meetings too.
Nina!
I'm leaving.
Going back to Dad?
I don't give up.
You're not bothered if I go?
You haven't gone yet.
The cardiac illness is serious.
We can't wait to operate.
The baby's chances aren't good.
We have to wait 2 weeks.
She's in no state
to look after a premature baby.
Nor will she be if she dies.
We get the baby out,
and we operate on the mother.
You were right:
this is down to pregnancy.
So you can give her the good news.
Take the boy with you.
Kevin, can you come and help?
Coming.
We have no choice.
We have to induce the birth.
Or your baby could die.
And so could you.
You don't understand.
I'm all alone.
I don't care if I die.
The baby has a father.
You should call him.
I want nothing to do with him.
Or the child.
Leave me alone!
We'll leave you to think.
Thanks.
Louise, it's a girl.
- All right?
- Please.
OK.
- Will she be here long?
- It depends on the scan.
You'll need
to give me tranquillisers.
- How are you?
- My head really hurts.
The medication should help.
I'll be back to get you ready
for your scan.
Thanks.
See you later.
Are you OK?
Yes, I'm fine.
I'm worried about Louise.
She's alone
and has all these problems.
A bit like you.
Always being the psychologist.
Actually,
I was trying to chat you up.
Have dinner with me tonight?
I'm more fun after a glass or two.
I can't tonight.
I have to look after my daughter.
I can't.
OK. Well...
Another time?
Yes.
What did he want?
- Asked me to dinner.
- You said yes.
- I said no.
- I can go!
- Go play with your dolls.
- I don't have any.
When did you last
have dinner with a guy?
- Your kid could do better.
- I don't know what to do.
It's Thursday, no-one's home.
Your daughter is out with her dad.
Go have dinner.
Thursday?
Who is Thursday guy?
Dream on.
It's easy.
It's not a guy.
What?
It must be a girl
she meets on Thursdays.
Can you see her with a bloke?
- Finished?
- Yes.
- We're closed.
- Oh, no!
Please!
I work late! Be nice!
- Do you know what you want?
- Yes.
Thank you.
- Those two.
- The little hearts?
With strawberries.
- Anything else?
- That's all.
But can you wrap them nicely?
Thanks.
How could her pregnancy
have gone unnoticed for so long?
It happens quite often.
The baby can grow vertically,
near the back.
Up until the eighth month
you see nothing...
OK.
- Let's talk about something else.
- Yes.
Sorry. I'm not good at this.
What?
Having dinner with a colleague?
Me neither.
- See you tomorrow.
- Yes.
How was the film?
I fell asleep for a bit.
- He doesn't like the cinema.
- But I like you.
- Goodnight.
- Goodnight.
- See you tomorrow.
- Yes.
- Who was that in the car?
- A friend.
You don't have friends.
- You've got a boyfriend.
- I haven't!
- Yes?
- It's us.
Who was that this morning, then?
- You never told me about William.
- Will!
"Will."
You don't tell me anything.
- That's not true.
- It is.
- No! That's not true!
- It is.
- I didn't know about your periods.
- What is this?
A mother-daughter conversation.
Can we try it?
If you want.
Why don't you tell me anything?
You're only interested
in my cancer markers.
What do you mean?
You've been my nurse for years.
I'm your patient.
We can talk once you're my mother.
Goodnight.
- Had a good evening?
- Excellent.
Me too.
You're going home?
Don't worry.
It'll be fine.
- You can stay if...
- No. You were right.
I need to sort out my life.
My taxi is waiting.
I didn't look after you?
No!
I looked after Lily
and she's not happy about that.
There's no school for parents.
If you need me...
I know. Thanks. It'll be fine.
Bye.
Safe journey!
Dr Bensaïd
I'm thinking of you, your body...
Léo?
You could fit 3 in there!
I've got XS,
but I'm not sure it'll fit you.
Want to bet?
That's a sexy outfit.
I'm late.
- You didn't answer my texts.
- Can we talk later?
- Didn't you enjoy last night?
- It's not that.
My life is very complicated already.
It won't stay.
- What are you doing?
- I'm going home.
- You can't do that.
- Let me go.
OK. Off you.
You want to die?
And your baby?
Go on, then.
Louise.
Listen to me.
You came here because
you want to live.
Let us help you.
Everything will be fine.
- I'm frightened.
- I know.
I'm so frightened!
- Hello, ladies.
- Hello.
Mrs Kaminsky, we've got
the results from your tests.
The doctor will come and see you.
- What happened?
- I woke up like that.
I don't believe it!
I'm so happy!
It's the stigmata of Christ.
This will help you relax.
The delivery will be late morning.
Do you have children?
I've got a daughter.
And... does she love you?
Yes, she loves me.
She shouts at me too.
She hates me. She loves me.
She's 14.
- My daughter won't love me.
- She will!
It won't be the same.
You won't be alone.
It will be hard.
But you'll see, it's worth it.
Stay with me.
During the Caesarian.
I'll... I'll see what I can do.
- What's going on?
- She's got a brain tumour.
She scratched herself
and thinks it's stigmata.
The worse thing is, she's happy.
Was it consummated?
Do I ask you questions?
- Yes, and I never answer.
- True.
You did, or you'd have said no.
You may be a prude,
but you've slept with 100%
of the guys in that office.
- Rubbish!
- You have!
I found your teddy bear
on the sofa.
- What?
- What?
I didn't see you
as the cuddly-toy type.
What are you talking about?
OK! I'm kidding! Léo!
Wait!
Call me after the delivery?
Yes.
Léo.
They seem very friendly.
No.
We don't have Marie-Claude,
or Nathalie.
I don't have enough nurses.
I only need 2 hours.
You can't always hold their hand.
She just found out she's pregnant
and has a heart condition.
I'd need someone
to hold my hand.
2 hours. Understood?
And you're on duty this weekend.
OK. Thanks.
We've got the results
from your scan.
You've got a tumour
in the temporal lobe of your brain.
That's the cause
of your headaches and visions.
Will I die?
No. No.
We can operate. If we act quickly,
you should get better.
And the light?
Will it take away the light?
The surgeon will come and see you.
Thank you, but there's no point.
Pardon?
I won't have the operation.
Without an operation, you'll die.
If that is God's will...
You're a doctor,
you want to cure me.
But I can't let you
take away the light.
We can't leave her.
- We need a priest.
- For the last rites?
No. To persuade her to get well.
I'll leave that to you.
Where am I going to find a priest?
- How are you feeling?
- OK.
Can you turn on your side, please?
Tuck your knees into your chest.
Once your daughter arrives,
a team will look after her.
Have you thought about a name?
Not really.
Turn back over.
OK?
OK. We can put up the screen.
- Can you fix it?
- Yes. I have to let go.
You'll be OK.
Let's start.
Start the drip.
- OK.
- Retractor.
- How are you, Louise?
- I can't feel anything.
That's normal. That's good.
OK. This is good.
Breathe. It's OK.
Her rhythm is too fast.
I can't do it.
You can, Louise, you're doing it.
Nearly there.
Everything is going fine, Louise.
OK. I can see the baby.
Here's the baby. Cut the cord.
OK! That's it!
Laura. She's called Laura.
That's a pretty name.
I'm going to see your little girl.
Thank you.
It's OK, Louise.
She's not breathing.
- Come on, Laura.
- Come on.
Her airway is clear.
- We'll ventilate.
- Come on, Laura. Breathe.
- Laura. Laura.
- Come on, Laura!
- How is she?
- Too soon to say.
She's breathing on her own,
but the next few hours are critical.
- Will you keep me informed?
- I promise.
Could we be less formal?
Of course.
She's so tiny!
You never wanted another child?
No.
I was too scared.
You?
Me? I'm busy enough looking
after other people's children.
- Have you seen Laura?
- Yes.
She's fighting.
A great team is looking after her.
And me?
You're OK.
You'll stay here under observation,
until you're ready
for your heart operation.
Could I die?
You could. But we'll do our best
to see you don't.
His name is Julien Maléval.
The father?
We met on a slimming course.
He was the chef.
We made love once.
You never saw him again?
I didn't think any man
would be interested in me.
What about you?
Is there a man in your life?
Yes. No. Well...
I don't know. Maybe.
What will you do?
Give my baby a father.
God doesn't want you to die
to prove your faith,
rather live to prove your love.
What if I lose my way?
He'll always be with you.
You know,
I've lived alone so long
that I prefer to die
rather than live in solitude.
He's chosen me. Look.
Annabelle.
No-one can ever take
your faith away from you.
I understand you're scared.
But you should have the operation.
We can't!
We can't force her
to have treatment.
- You're a doctor. Convince her.
- It won't help.
Do you think
she'll go straight to heaven?
It's not about what I believe.
The tumour
is affecting her judgement.
We could get a guardian.
OK. We understand.
- I can ask.
- If she refuses, let her go.
I know you're upset,
but that's how it is.
Goodbye.
You want to know?
Yes, I have faith. But I don't
want my patients to die.
- But...
- No!
I really like you
and your big mouth.
But I care about my patients.
- Coffee?
- Bad idea.
I might hit someone.
- Chocolate?
- Am I 5 years old?
The chaplain couldn't help?
He's a priest, not a guardian angel.
You wouldn't give up.
- Life must be worth something.
- Shall I try?
She's my patient.
You've got your own to deal with.
You knew your ex had faith?
His parents are very religious.
But...
We've never talked about it.
- Not even when Lily was ill?
- Especially not then.
I have to go.
Hello.
Hello.
I'm the nurse looking after Louise.
How is she?
She has a heart problem.
We need to operate.
She got through the Caesarian.
And the baby?
A little girl.
She was very premature.
We have to wait.
I was in love with Louise.
I noticed her straightaway.
We slept together and...
Then she didn't want to see me.
She didn't finish the course.
She left.
I tried to contact her.
She wouldn't talk to me.
How can I look after her child?
It's your child too.
Come and see.
She's called Laura.
I'll leave you two.

AGAINST MEDICAL ADVICE
Patient's signature
Doctor's signature
How are you?
OK.
So? She's gone?
- At least you're pleased.
- Yes.
Did you attack her?
The scratches?
I couldn't take any more.
I couldn't sleep.
I wanted her to be quiet.
I'm ill too.
- I'm sorry.
- Yeah.
You haven't been chosen by God.
Your room-mate scratched you.
Come on.
I'll find you a room.
Don't make me beg.
It's not my style.
Do you believe in God?
I did when I was a child.
Not any more.
Your day will come.
I'm sure.
I was well and truly tricked.
- You can't save everyone.
- Really?
Yes.
See how he's looking at me?
Go and see him.
I'm too tired.
I want to go home.
- Here's your grenadine.
- Thanks.
You're welcome.
A baby is born, and a woman
will die. Sort of a balance.
Yes.
- Do you like babies, Dorothée?
- I don't know.
- Is Grandma back?
- No. This is my mess.
That would have been a miracle.
Are you OK?
You scared me on the phone.
Come with me.
We've taken the wrong direction.
We have our places.
I'm your mum. You're my daughter.
I trust you,
so stop worrying about me.
OK.
We'll talk like before.
Invite Will to dinner
so I can meet him.
- OK?
- OK.
Perfect.
I bought you this.
Subtitles: Eclair Media
The news with Raphaël.
Ouch.
Engaged.
Bye, Mum.
Lily?
What's all this?
- What are you doing?
- A bit of cleaning.
You never clean.
Well... See?
It isn't difficult.
I can do it.
I won't let this go.
Your father cannot take up
with the maid.
You left him.
So?
It's for me!
It's for me!
- Lily?
- See you later.
What's all this?
"This" is William.
But Lily prefers "Will".
How long...?
Two months.
She never told me.
Probably to avoid
a lecture on contraception.
Fine. Léo! We're late!
IN HIS OWN IMAGE
- Hello.
- Hello.
- Miss Mercadier?
- Yes.
I'll show you to your room.
The day team will look after you.
OK.
Are you OK?
Yes. Fine.
This way.
On Thursdays,
you dress like a medical secretary.
Why won't you tell me? Go on!
I'll give you the house if you
tell me who you're sleeping with.
Dream on.
- Hi, girls.
- Hi.
Léo, will you be wearing a long dress
next Thursday?
Miss Mercadier, you're here
for a checkup before...
gastroplasty.
Be right back.
What is it, Doctor?
You deal with her.
I don't like fat people.
Hello.
Mrs Kaminsky, you're here
because of your bad headaches?
I'm not Kaminsky.
- Where is she?
- Gone.
- Where?
- I don't know.
OK.
I'm sorry. Dr Proust had to...
There was an emergency.
So... he's not here.
So, you want a gastric band?
Yes. But the surgeon
won't operate.
My health isn't good enough.
OK. Can I examine you?
What's wrong?
I'm fat.
No. Medically, what's wrong?
I have pain in my stomach
and I'm always out of breath.
- For how long?
- A few weeks.
OK. Did you put on weight
during that time?
Do I look slim?
When was your last period?
My period?
Last week.
Why?
Your symptoms
could be due to pregnancy.
- Impossible.
- Do you use contraception?
I've never had sex.
Ah. OK.
It could be your thyroid.
We'll test that.
- Nina, can you do that?
- Of course.
I'll leave you to it.
Thanks.
He doesn't know
how to handle women.
Do I disgust you?
No!
Because... I disgust myself.
And don't talk to me
about internal beauty.
I'll start with taking care of you.
Are you OK?
I can't breathe.
Your blood pressure is high.
Take it easy.
Breathe though your nose.
- I'm suffocating.
- I'll be back.
Breathe deeply.
You're fine.
I'll get the doctor.
Can you please come?
It's urgent.
Is it the ballerina?
She's struggling to breathe.
I'm not surprised.
You didn't examine her.
But I know what's wrong.
Not everything is linked
to her weight.
Really?
I'll be back.
Can you do a workup?
Come on.
How long have you been
taking appetite suppressants?
I don't take any.
Right. And I'm an elf.
If you really want to die...
Here.
Take these. It will be quicker.
We need the bed.
Sorry! OK?
There.
Fine. OK.
I took appetite suppressants.
It was ages ago.
- I believed in miracles.
- You didn't lose weight.
The amphetamines
have wrecked your cardiac valves.
Is that bad?
No! If we do nothing, you die.
Well? Her problems
aren't linked to her weight?
I was wrong.
But the way you told her!
- Listen, thingy.
- Nina.
Yes. Let's not...
If you really want to annoy me,
carry on.
Now give her
3 ampoules of clonidine.
Call cardiology.
Tell them it's urgent.
Quickly!
OK. Thank you.
Cardio can't take her for 2 hours.
Call them back.
This is a public hospital.
We treat 600 patients.
They have to wait.
If you want to complain, ask
N'Guyen to replace the radiologist
who retired.
Are you Catholic?
Well...
Come with me.
QUIET ROOM
- What's wrong?
- Headaches.
Antonakis would examine her
but she won't go back to her room.
- What do you want me to do?
- You're the trainee.
Show some initiative.
Hello, sir.
I'm not stopping.
You seem better.
Have a good day.
Holy Mary, mother of God,
I beg
you to help me.
Hello.
Sister Nina.
The Virgin heard your prayers.
She's sending a great doctor
to heal you.
It hurts so much!
Come with me.
There.
The light.
I can't see the light.
Look at me.
Right. What's wrong?
I started having headaches
months ago.
I was nauseous
and my eyes were burning.
It was unbearable.
I wanted to die,
but then the light appeared.
The light of God.
Without it, I'd never have
been able to bear it.
Madam, you're having migraines.
The light is a side effect.
An ophthalmic aura.
An hallucination?
You could call it that.
No.
That's not possible.
You were there, sister.
You saw it.
I'm sorry.
I didn't see anything.
I'll prescribe you
some migraine medication.
- Doctor.
- Yes?
I'm not mad.
No. You're ill.
We'll look after you.
See you later.
Sister Nina?
I had to improvise.
No! Keep it on.
It suits you.
- Did you know Lily has a boyfriend?
- Didn't you?
No.
- He turned up this morning.
- She wanted you to meet him.
I hardly saw him.
She doesn't want you
to invite him to dinner. She's 14.
- She hasn't started her periods.
- What?
You two need to have a chat.
- No!
- Yes.
Here!
Why didn't she tell me?
I've increased the oxygen.
Tachycardia.
This will lower your heart rate.
She needs an ultrasound.
OK.
How can I? We're busy.
I know, but it's an emergency.
Do you want me to call Proust?
- I'll tell the radiologist.
- Thanks.
I have to go. The radiologist
will come and get you.
Please stay.
I'm scared on my own.
Miss Mercadier!
Miss Mercadier!
Can I stay with her?
Yes.
The heart is fast.
There's a lack of pressure.
The mitral valve is damaged.
- What does that mean?
- It's a valve
that moves blood in your heart.
It's been damaged by the drugs.
- Is it serious?
- It's very badly damaged.
It needs to be replaced. You risk...
I can't get the band fitted?
No. Not for the moment. Sorry.
I'll stay fat?
Are you not checking her abdomen?
I was asked to do
a cardiac ultrasound.
The patient has stomach pains.
You could take a look.
Do nurses make these decisions?
No initiative.
Are you just here to play
with your toys?
OK! I'll take a look...
as you're the wife of the boss.
Not any more.
Turn over, please.
This will be cold.
The large colon is compressed.
There's a lot of...
- You're pregnant.
- What? I'm not pregnant.
Are you sure?
Look!
You can see the baby's face.
It's impossible.
I'm still having periods.
That happens. You can be pregnant
and still have bleeding
which seems like a period.
OK, Louise?
I don't want the baby.
I want it removed.
- That's not possible.
- It is.
No. You don't understand.
It's over 6 months.
Come quick! She cried out
then fell on her knees.
Mrs Kaminsky?
Mrs Kaminsky!
Annabelle!
The Virgin heard me.
Call Psych and fetch Antonakis.
I don't think it's a psychosis.
A mystical patient
could have a strange interpretation
of a migraine aura.
Or maybe the Virgin
really did appear.
Something's wrong. The medication
should have calmed her down.
We need a neuro workup.
It could be a brain tumour.
I'll leave you to handle radiology.
Could I please change rooms?
Sorry. We're full.
This talk of the Virgin
is getting me down.
- Come on, I'll make your bed.
- Really?
I promise, we've no rooms.
- If one becomes free, I'll get it?
- I promise.
I've worked all my life.
Looking after others.
Never myself.
My husband, my patients.
Everything else took priority.
I thought when I retired,
I could enjoy life.
What are you doing here?
Getting some air.
I miss the hospital.
You were a gynaecologist?
I was a fertility specialist.
I made hundreds of babies.
She even had time to have one.
But not to look after it.
If you'd completed your studies,
you'd be head of department,
not your husband.
Excuse me.
Nurses have urgent meetings too.
Nina!
I'm leaving.
Going back to Dad?
I don't give up.
You're not bothered if I go?
You haven't gone yet.
The cardiac illness is serious.
We can't wait to operate.
The baby's chances aren't good.
We have to wait 2 weeks.
She's in no state
to look after a premature baby.
Nor will she be if she dies.
We get the baby out,
and we operate on the mother.
You were right:
this is down to pregnancy.
So you can give her the good news.
Take the boy with you.
Kevin, can you come and help?
Coming.
We have no choice.
We have to induce the birth.
Or your baby could die.
And so could you.
You don't understand.
I'm all alone.
I don't care if I die.
The baby has a father.
You should call him.
I want nothing to do with him.
Or the child.
Leave me alone!
We'll leave you to think.
Thanks.
Louise, it's a girl.
- All right?
- Please.
OK.
- Will she be here long?
- It depends on the scan.
You'll need
to give me tranquillisers.
- How are you?
- My head really hurts.
The medication should help.
I'll be back to get you ready
for your scan.
Thanks.
See you later.
Are you OK?
Yes, I'm fine.
I'm worried about Louise.
She's alone
and has all these problems.
A bit like you.
Always being the psychologist.
Actually,
I was trying to chat you up.
Have dinner with me tonight?
I'm more fun after a glass or two.
I can't tonight.
I have to look after my daughter.
I can't.
OK. Well...
Another time?
Yes.
What did he want?
- Asked me to dinner.
- You said yes.
- I said no.
- I can go!
- Go play with your dolls.
- I don't have any.
When did you last
have dinner with a guy?
- Your kid could do better.
- I don't know what to do.
It's Thursday, no-one's home.
Your daughter is out with her dad.
Go have dinner.
Thursday?
Who is Thursday guy?
Dream on.
It's easy.
It's not a guy.
What?
It must be a girl
she meets on Thursdays.
Can you see her with a bloke?
- Finished?
- Yes.
- We're closed.
- Oh, no!
Please!
I work late! Be nice!
- Do you know what you want?
- Yes.
Thank you.
- Those two.
- The little hearts?
With strawberries.
- Anything else?
- That's all.
But can you wrap them nicely?
Thanks.
How could her pregnancy
have gone unnoticed for so long?
It happens quite often.
The baby can grow vertically,
near the back.
Up until the eighth month
you see nothing...
OK.
- Let's talk about something else.
- Yes.
Sorry. I'm not good at this.
What?
Having dinner with a colleague?
Me neither.
- See you tomorrow.
- Yes.
How was the film?
I fell asleep for a bit.
- He doesn't like the cinema.
- But I like you.
- Goodnight.
- Goodnight.
- See you tomorrow.
- Yes.
- Who was that in the car?
- A friend.
You don't have friends.
- You've got a boyfriend.
- I haven't!
- Yes?
- It's us.
Who was that this morning, then?
- You never told me about William.
- Will!
"Will."
You don't tell me anything.
- That's not true.
- It is.
- No! That's not true!
- It is.
- I didn't know about your periods.
- What is this?
A mother-daughter conversation.
Can we try it?
If you want.
Why don't you tell me anything?
You're only interested
in my cancer markers.
What do you mean?
You've been my nurse for years.
I'm your patient.
We can talk once you're my mother.
Goodnight.
- Had a good evening?
- Excellent.
Me too.
You're going home?
Don't worry.
It'll be fine.
- You can stay if...
- No. You were right.
I need to sort out my life.
My taxi is waiting.
I didn't look after you?
No!
I looked after Lily
and she's not happy about that.
There's no school for parents.
If you need me...
I know. Thanks. It'll be fine.
Bye.
Safe journey!
Dr Bensaïd
I'm thinking of you, your body...
Léo?
You could fit 3 in there!
I've got XS,
but I'm not sure it'll fit you.
Want to bet?
That's a sexy outfit.
I'm late.
- You didn't answer my texts.
- Can we talk later?
- Didn't you enjoy last night?
- It's not that.
My life is very complicated already.
It won't stay.
- What are you doing?
- I'm going home.
- You can't do that.
- Let me go.
OK. Off you.
You want to die?
And your baby?
Go on, then.
Louise.
Listen to me.
You came here because
you want to live.
Let us help you.
Everything will be fine.
- I'm frightened.
- I know.
I'm so frightened!
- Hello, ladies.
- Hello.
Mrs Kaminsky, we've got
the results from your tests.
The doctor will come and see you.
- What happened?
- I woke up like that.
I don't believe it!
I'm so happy!
It's the stigmata of Christ.
This will help you relax.
The delivery will be late morning.
Do you have children?
I've got a daughter.
And... does she love you?
Yes, she loves me.
She shouts at me too.
She hates me. She loves me.
She's 14.
- My daughter won't love me.
- She will!
It won't be the same.
You won't be alone.
It will be hard.
But you'll see, it's worth it.
Stay with me.
During the Caesarian.
I'll... I'll see what I can do.
- What's going on?
- She's got a brain tumour.
She scratched herself
and thinks it's stigmata.
The worse thing is, she's happy.
Was it consummated?
Do I ask you questions?
- Yes, and I never answer.
- True.
You did, or you'd have said no.
You may be a prude,
but you've slept with 100%
of the guys in that office.
- Rubbish!
- You have!
I found your teddy bear
on the sofa.
- What?
- What?
I didn't see you
as the cuddly-toy type.
What are you talking about?
OK! I'm kidding! Léo!
Wait!
Call me after the delivery?
Yes.
Léo.
They seem very friendly.
No.
We don't have Marie-Claude,
or Nathalie.
I don't have enough nurses.
I only need 2 hours.
You can't always hold their hand.
She just found out she's pregnant
and has a heart condition.
I'd need someone
to hold my hand.
2 hours. Understood?
And you're on duty this weekend.
OK. Thanks.
We've got the results
from your scan.
You've got a tumour
in the temporal lobe of your brain.
That's the cause
of your headaches and visions.
Will I die?
No. No.
We can operate. If we act quickly,
you should get better.
And the light?
Will it take away the light?
The surgeon will come and see you.
Thank you, but there's no point.
Pardon?
I won't have the operation.
Without an operation, you'll die.
If that is God's will...
You're a doctor,
you want to cure me.
But I can't let you
take away the light.
We can't leave her.
- We need a priest.
- For the last rites?
No. To persuade her to get well.
I'll leave that to you.
Where am I going to find a priest?
- How are you feeling?
- OK.
Can you turn on your side, please?
Tuck your knees into your chest.
Once your daughter arrives,
a team will look after her.
Have you thought about a name?
Not really.
Turn back over.
OK?
OK. We can put up the screen.
- Can you fix it?
- Yes. I have to let go.
You'll be OK.
Let's start.
Start the drip.
- OK.
- Retractor.
- How are you, Louise?
- I can't feel anything.
That's normal. That's good.
OK. This is good.
Breathe. It's OK.
Her rhythm is too fast.
I can't do it.
You can, Louise, you're doing it.
Nearly there.
Everything is going fine, Louise.
OK. I can see the baby.
Here's the baby. Cut the cord.
OK! That's it!
Laura. She's called Laura.
That's a pretty name.
I'm going to see your little girl.
Thank you.
It's OK, Louise.
She's not breathing.
- Come on, Laura.
- Come on.
Her airway is clear.
- We'll ventilate.
- Come on, Laura. Breathe.
- Laura. Laura.
- Come on, Laura!
- How is she?
- Too soon to say.
She's breathing on her own,
but the next few hours are critical.
- Will you keep me informed?
- I promise.
Could we be less formal?
Of course.
She's so tiny!
You never wanted another child?
No.
I was too scared.
You?
Me? I'm busy enough looking
after other people's children.
- Have you seen Laura?
- Yes.
She's fighting.
A great team is looking after her.
And me?
You're OK.
You'll stay here under observation,
until you're ready
for your heart operation.
Could I die?
You could. But we'll do our best
to see you don't.
His name is Julien Maléval.
The father?
We met on a slimming course.
He was the chef.
We made love once.
You never saw him again?
I didn't think any man
would be interested in me.
What about you?
Is there a man in your life?
Yes. No. Well...
I don't know. Maybe.
What will you do?
Give my baby a father.
God doesn't want you to die
to prove your faith,
rather live to prove your love.
What if I lose my way?
He'll always be with you.
You know,
I've lived alone so long
that I prefer to die
rather than live in solitude.
He's chosen me. Look.
Annabelle.
No-one can ever take
your faith away from you.
I understand you're scared.
But you should have the operation.
We can't!
We can't force her
to have treatment.
- You're a doctor. Convince her.
- It won't help.
Do you think
she'll go straight to heaven?
It's not about what I believe.
The tumour
is affecting her judgement.
We could get a guardian.
OK. We understand.
- I can ask.
- If she refuses, let her go.
I know you're upset,
but that's how it is.
Goodbye.
You want to know?
Yes, I have faith. But I don't
want my patients to die.
- But...
- No!
I really like you
and your big mouth.
But I care about my patients.
- Coffee?
- Bad idea.
I might hit someone.
- Chocolate?
- Am I 5 years old?
The chaplain couldn't help?
He's a priest, not a guardian angel.
You wouldn't give up.
- Life must be worth something.
- Shall I try?
She's my patient.
You've got your own to deal with.
You knew your ex had faith?
His parents are very religious.
But...
We've never talked about it.
- Not even when Lily was ill?
- Especially not then.
I have to go.
Hello.
Hello.
I'm the nurse looking after Louise.
How is she?
She has a heart problem.
We need to operate.
She got through the Caesarian.
And the baby?
A little girl.
She was very premature.
We have to wait.
I was in love with Louise.
I noticed her straightaway.
We slept together and...
Then she didn't want to see me.
She didn't finish the course.
She left.
I tried to contact her.
She wouldn't talk to me.
How can I look after her child?
It's your child too.
Come and see.
She's called Laura.
I'll leave you two.

How are you?
OK.
So? She's gone?
- At least you're pleased.
- Yes.
Did you attack her?
The scratches?
I couldn't take any more.
I couldn't sleep.
I wanted her to be quiet.
I'm ill too.
- I'm sorry.
- Yeah.
You haven't been chosen by God.
Your room-mate scratched you.
Come on.
I'll find you a room.
Don't make me beg.
It's not my style.
Do you believe in God?
I did when I was a child.
Not any more.
Your day will come.
I'm sure.
I was well and truly tricked.
- You can't save everyone.
- Really?
Yes.
See how he's looking at me?
Go and see him.
I'm too tired.
I want to go home.
- Here's your grenadine.
- Thanks.
You're welcome.
A baby is born, and a woman
will die. Sort of a balance.
Yes.
- Do you like babies, Dorothée?
- I don't know.
- Is Grandma back?
- No. This is my mess.
That would have been a miracle.
Are you OK?
You scared me on the phone.
Come with me.
We've taken the wrong direction.
We have our places.
I'm your mum. You're my daughter.
I trust you,
so stop worrying about me.
OK.
We'll talk like before.
Invite Will to dinner
so I can meet him.
- OK?
- OK.
Perfect.
I bought you this.
