Nina (2015–…): Season 1, Episode 8 - La dernière épreuve - full transcript
I'd be delighted
to have you as a nurse
in the department.
No.
I don't want you as a nurse.
Two days earlier
Fred! Wake up!
You can't stay here!
Just give me a chance.
- To ruin everything?
- I'm not an idiot.
And I'm not naive.
You shouldn't have let me back.
I didn't ask you.
I've got a sore throat.
What are you doing here?
Gloria, Néo is ill.
Can you look after him?
Answerphone.
I can do it.
No way.
Come on.
I don't want to be late.
He'll be OK.
- Néo, will you be OK with Fred?
- Yes.
I'll call every 2 hours.
Stop worrying.
If anything happens, I'll kill you.
Oh, no!
- Shall we make another?
- Yes.
- Are you OK?
- Mum, it's work experience.
It doesn't have to be here.
We're a family of doctors,
I'm not going to be a florist.
Mum! We'll be late.
Coming!
- Hello.
- Hello.
You look lovely.
Just like a nurse.
We're nearly there.
Let me out!
- Nearly there.
- Let me through!
Let me out...
Sir! Sir!
Deep breaths.
Trolley!
- OK.
- Calm down.
Welcome to internal medicine.
Come on.
Help me. 1, 2, 3!
What have we got?
He had a panic attack in the lift,
like claustrophobia.
My brother is agoraphobic.
He never leaves the house.
He's had a fever for 2 days.
He's got a cough
and stomach ache.
I managed to get him here.
I can't stay.
I want to go home.
I want to go home too.
That makes two of us.
He has jaundice.
It could be hepatitis
or a tropical illness.
Have you been abroad?
I haven't left the house
for 10 years.
Do you have TV?
What? Yes.
You haven't missed much.
Give him an antipyretic.
We'll test for hepatitis
and I'll be back once
I've got the results.
No! I can't stay here.
You're here now.
Let us look after you.
I have to go to work.
I'll come back later.
- No.
- It will be fine.
Lauren! No! Don't leave me!
I'm here.
I'll look after you.
Can you take a tablet?
He'll be OK.
It's hard seeing him like this.
Has it been long?
Our parents died 10 years ago.
Sandro never got over it.
- How about you?
- I never had time to cry.
I was looking after him.
I want him to be like before.
You managed to get him here.
It's a start.
Haven't you called
your psychiatrist?
If I do it, he'll think it's a joke.
Is the love affair over already?
Are you doing the agony column?
No. But if you don't get moving,
you'll be doing the small ads.
Call the psychiatrist.
Call him, Thingy!
You're here
as an observer: so observe.
Don't go near the patients. OK?
- Yes.
- Good.
You'll work with Dorothée today.
- Really?
- She'll show you the basics.
Do what she does and what she says.
Off you go, girls.
Don't let them out of your sight.
I don't want to get in trouble
with the boss. OK?
- Aren't you off for 10 days?
- Me? I feel great!
It's Fred.
Leave a message.
Call me back. I forgot
to tell you about lunch.
- It's fine.
- So I see.
You'll see, it's not hard.
Rule number 1:
don't sleep with your colleagues.
I keep breaking that one.
I'm not sleeping with anyone.
Here she is.
- Everything alright?
- Dorothée is teaching me a lot.
If you need to talk,
you can come and find me.
At any time. I know.
Mum said the same.
Don't worry. I'm fine.
I'm very proud of you.
Dad, people are watching.
Dorothée, new patient in 28.
OK.
- Why are you smiling?
- I'm in a good mood.
I know you.
You're up to something.
How long have you had joint pain?
Just over a month.
I think.
- I took no notice at first.
- She has a high pain threshold.
It got worse as I trained.
It was unbearable this morning.
My knees gave way.
I collapsed.
The selection for the championship
starts in a month.
She's tired.
1 or 2 days' rest and you'll be fine.
We'll do a blood test, blood culture
and ultrasound.
I'll give you an analgesic.
Impossible.
There are doping tests.
A painkiller, then.
- But you can't train.
- I can't just give up.
You're going to make me better.
That's what I want to hear.
Never beaten.
Would you leave us a moment?
- Please.
- It's OK.
You too.
On a scale of 1 to 10,
how would you rate the pain?
I don't know.
- 7-8.
- "7-8"?
I can't let you suffer.
I'll give you a class-1 analgesic,
authorised by the doping agency.
- Will you tell Juliette?
- No.
She believes in me.
I can't disappoint her.
You're ill.
You need treatment.
- Are they a couple?
- Didn't you see their hair?
What does that prove?
This is my theory:
when 2 women have the same hair,
they sleep in the same bed.
Women aren't my thing,
but each to their own.
This way.
You called?
Proust asked me to call you.
Should I be pleased or concerned?
I never congratulated you.
- For what?
- The end of training.
- You'll be a real nurse.
- No!
It's not signed off yet.
Something wrong?
This morning I...
Nothing.
Come on.
You must warn them.
- Who?
- My parents!
They died in an avalanche.
- It's over 40.
- Please!
Tell them to come back.
Do you know where you are?
Look outside.
It's summer.
There's no snow.
It's too late.
They're dead!
I see your patient is much better.
It's OK.
It isn't agoraphobia
but the fever making him delirious.
What do you suggest?
I could prescribe antipsychotics,
but it would mask his symptoms.
- Too kind.
I'll leave it to you.
Once his fever has fallen,
send him to my department.
Once his fever has fallen,
send him to my department.
That hasn't happened yet.
Hepatomegaly. It's hepatitis.
The tests will confirm.
What do we do?
Bring down his fever.
- I'll increase his antipyretics.
- No. I do that.
You do what I say.
Cool him down.
Sorry.
You needn't have come.
Don't worry. It's always
a pleasure to work with you.
It's Fred.
Leave a message.
Call me back
when you get this message.
You know I can help.
No. It's OK.
Have we got the results
from the last tests?
No. Not yet.
Hold on!
- No!
- It's something like that.
You must be proud of her.
You have no idea.
- I'm proud of you.
- What?
You qualify tomorrow.
But don't let this hospital
destroy you.
I know. Or you.
Me? No!
- No?
- I've changed. I've changed!
I have!
- We need to talk.
- About what?
I don't know what you saw.
Me neither.
He's a colleague.
I don't know what came over him.
It's fine.
My life is complicated too.
It's not my concern.
I won't tell.
I have to go home.
We have to take care of you.
Everything is going wrong.
If I stay here I'll die.
Let me go.
Stay here with me.
Can you get me a coffee?
Yes.
- Drinking coffee?
- It's for Dorothée.
- Want one?
- No thanks.
How can you bear
to see patients suffer?
I do my best to help them.
You never really get used to it.
I admire you.
I have to go.
- Got the hepatitis results?
- Yes.
They're negative.
What?
- His fever?
- It's dropped a bit.
Get an abdominal scan.
It could be flu.
Do you want my job?
Do what I say
and stop talking nonsense.
Kala-azar? No.
Scratched by a cat? No.
He'll work it out.
I hope so.
It isn't acute rheumatic fever
or endocarditis.
- Isn't that good?
- Your ESR is raised.
- Meaning?
It could be rheumatoid arthritis.
Arthritis?
Kia isn't even 40.
She does sport.
It could be genetic.
- Anyone in your family affected?
- I don't think so.
We'll do an X-ray.
We'll put you on anti-inflammatories
and monitor your symptoms.
- I don't believe it!
- I'm sorry.
"Sorry"? You don't know
what you're saying!
- Competing is her life.
- It's part of her life.
We'll change hospitals.
It won't change her illness.
- I know what I have to do.
- No.
If you care about her,
let the doctor do his job.
Calm down.
Everything OK?
No, it's not.
I've been calling Fred for hours.
He's not answering!
I shouldn't have left them.
It's nearly lunchtime.
I'll cover for you. You go home.
Thanks.
I've never had a trainee like you.
- Is that a compliment?
- Yes.
You'll need it tomorrow.
Proust won't go easy on you.
Shit.
Open! Shit!
It's Lily, who bit me
when I did a biopsy.
Doctor, how are you?
- Fine. What are you doing?
- Work experience.
- Dorothée is my supervisor.
- Hello.
And this is Kevin.
He's sucking up
to the boss's daughter.
- Rubbish! It's not true.
- We've all been there.
Come and see us later.
- OK.
- They'll be pleased to see you.
- Bon appétit.
- Thanks.
- He's charming!
- He's old.
Are you jealous?
You should try guys your own age.
Why?
They don't just want sex.
What is it?
Nothing.
I can't believe you turned down
a job in the US.
It wasn't easy,
but I have no regrets.
I've been thinking. And...
Will you marry me?
Sorry.
You don't understand.
Wait!
Hélène!
- We've got a problem.
- Yes, we have.
With a patient.
The door is blocked.
I tried getting in.
There's no answer.
- Sandro! Open the door!
- Call security.
No time.
- He's in a coma.
- I'll get Proust.
Nina. Come next door.
- Stay with them. Give him O2.
- OK.
What's wrong?
Lie back down.
My eyes are burning.
They're dry. It's the fever.
I'll be right back.
Hold on!
There you go.
Fred! Why don't you ever
answer the phone?
No!
Oh, no!
He's got worse since he came in.
Now he's in a coma.
Why are you here?
Is he going to tell you
about his mother?
You have to make him better first.
His agoraphobia is making it worse.
An infection caused the coma.
Really? Tell me more...
That's enough!
It's a haematological illness.
The patient and symptoms
are confused.
We'll put him on anti-inflammatories.
What about Kia?
Painkillers are not helping
her headaches.
Her joints are shot.
There's no rheumatoid factor.
It could be lupus.
Lupus? Well done.
Let's check
for rheumatoid arthritis first.
We'll review later.
OK.
- Nina?
- Yes?
- Did Hélène speak to you?
- About what?
Marriage.
No.
Give her some time.
Don't pressure her.
You look pensive.
Costa asked Hélène to marry him.
- And?
- Thanks.
You're surprised?
Not really.
When will you ask me?
No. No.
You've always looked after others.
Now you're free.
I like you that way.
Promise not to marry me?
Promise!
How are you feeling?
Not so good.
My head is in a vice.
Any progress?
We'll do more tests.
There's no point.
I won't run again.
This isn't your whole life.
I was at the bottom of the rankings
when I met Juliette.
She took me in hand.
I won two championships.
And now...
Now,
you'll get treatment and get better.
She won't want to be a carer.
She loves you.
- She will.
- I don't know.
- It won't be the same.
- You have to start over.
- That's exciting.
- If you say so.
You have to be brave.
You have to go the distance.
It's like a long-distance race.
- Where's Léo?
- Personal problem.
I'll deal with her patients.
You look worried.
- Because of her?
- Yes. No.
Well, it's... Lily, Léo.
I'm always worried.
- Work will distract you.
- Thanks.
Well?
I've searched the house,
the street, the parks: no-one.
They've gone for a walk.
- There's blood in the lounge.
- What?
How could I have left him?
We'll call the police.
I understand.
I just want to get out.
Going to get me a drink?
I can see you've been through it.
- The hair?
- No. The fear.
I want to know
what happens afterwards.
Afterwards...
everyone treats you
as if you're still sick.
But you know you're better.
Then it settles down.
It's what you want,
but it seems strange.
It doesn't sound great.
Sick or no, for some people,
you'll always be special.
And that's good.
To life after illness.
Help!
Help!
What is it?
He fell.
He hit his head on the table.
Get a trolley.
I cleaned it.
I thought he was fine.
- Then he fainted.
- What's his name?
Néo Bonheur.
Where were you?
Are you OK, darling?
- I don't want to talk about it.
- OK.
- Where's Léo?
- In the treatment room. Why?
- It's Néo.
- The police found him?
He's downstairs.
Come on.
What happened?
- He fell.
- I'm sorry.
Get out of here! Now!
- How are you?
- My head hurts.
Close your eyes
and open them when I say.
They'll be a light. Open.
Close your eyes. Open.
Great.
Can you stand up?
Can you walk on the line?
Well done!
He's fine.
We'll do a brain scan
and you can take him home.
You need to wake him up
every 2 hours.
OK.
He's just got a bump on his head.
Relax.
"His troubles weren't over.
"An enormous spot..."
Did Costa tell you?
Yes. He told me.
I don't understand.
- Do you love him?
- Yes. I love him.
I don't want to get married
and have children.
I didn't want a child either.
But I never regretted it.
I've been offered a job
in the USA.
Did you accept it?
I wasn't going to, but now...
I don't know.
If you don't want
to get married, tell him.
Excuse me.
How is he?
- What did you do?
- Nothing.
We were playing and he fell.
- You hit him!
- It was an accident.
You shouldn't have come back yet.
I promised my psychiatrist
not to do any overtime.
Look:
6 o'clock and I'm going.
I don't have a psychiatrist.
My patient is in a coma.
So I'm staying here.
Good luck.
Thanks.
- Bye.
- Bye, Nina.
Bye.
- Have you started smoking?
- No.
I wanted some air.
But it's not working.
You should revise
the symptoms of lupus.
Check out multiple sclerosis too.
- You never know.
- I was trying to help.
Then do your job.
Thanks.
Dr Antonakis. Can you put me
through to Dr Hélène Maurier?
I know she's working.
She's with a patient?
Don't disturb her.
Feeling better?
- Where's Lily?
- In her room.
Report
Want to talk?
No.
OK.
Hold on.
I wanted to thank you.
What for?
For all the nights you spent
pretending everything was fine
when you were worried.
You put up with my crying
and being angry
and for no return.
I'm your mum.
I love you.
Don't stay up late.
Tomorrow is a busy day.
I'm not going.
It's too hard.
I thought I could do it,
but it's too soon.
I'll find another placement.
- In a florist's?
- Good idea.
You do what you want.
You've nothing to prove.
Néo.
Néo, wake up, darling.
Mum?
- What's your name?
- Néo.
What day is it?
It's nighttime. It was Tuesday.
Tomorrow is Wednesday.
- Are you OK, Mum?
- Yes. Go back to sleep.
Has Fred come home?
He's not coming back.
I liked him.
Sorry.
It's my fault.
I got on the table.
Fred told me not to.
I disobeyed.
- He didn't hit you?
- No.
I wasn't a good boy.
Go back to sleep.
Sorry. My mother can't do it.
I can look after Néo.
I don't have school.
- If Léo is happy.
- OK.
Great.
I woke him up every 2 hours.
He can sleep if he wants.
I'll treat him like a prince.
- Let's go.
- Bye.
Alright?
- Well done. Great.
- Hello.
It's really great.
- Well done!
- Congratulations!
Yes!
Let's go.
7, 8.
Well?
Ready to take the plunge?
Come on!
You're qualifying.
Aren't you happy?
Yes.
We'll have a drink.
I invited your parents.
- My parents?
- What?
The evaluation is a formality.
Everyone wants you to stay.
- Everyone?
- Yes.
- Sure?
- Yes.
I don't understand.
I don't understand.
I looked at all the tests again.
I'm missing something.
How is the patient?
His situation is stable.
It won't last.
I'm not sure what's worse:
losing a patient
or not knowing what's killing him.
He's not dead.
We're not giving up.
We'll find what's wrong.
Before our parents' accident,
we were going to travel.
To go to the Amazon.
Follow the river to the sea.
He always dreamed of travelling.
He never lost those dreams.
He watches the planes
take off every day.
He lives near an airport?
When the wind blows
in that direction,
it's as if the planes
are landing in the living room.
Hepatomegaly
- How are you?
- My head still hurts.
Kia?
- How are you feeling?
- Not great.
Can you pass me my toiletry bag?
Thanks.
- What is it?
- It hurts.
- Here.
- Stay still.
Let me see.
Is it more like a pain
in your scalp?
Yes.
What is it?
- The comb signal.
- What?
A symptom of Horton disease,
inflammation of the arteries.
We'll do a biopsy to confirm.
We'll start you on steroids.
- Can it be cured?
- Yes.
Treatment takes a year or two,
but you'll lead a normal life.
- The patient!
- Yes?
- I know what it is.
- Easy.
Easy.
Take a breath.
Malaria.
He never leaves home.
Airport malaria.
Mosquitoes are carried on planes
and infect people who never travel.
Or even leave home.
Idiot!
I never thought of that.
Well done! You saved his life.
Now stop smiling.
Do the test
and then put him on quinine.
I feel so relieved.
The treatment's working.
It's not the treatment.
My career is over.
I don't have to suffer.
I was out of the running.
I didn't want to lose you.
What are you saying?
I wanted to be the best.
It was stupid.
I couldn't do it any more.
My body said stop.
Now I can start again.
What will you do?
Something else.
What about us?
There will always be other athletes.
But my life is with you.
OK?
Thank you.
Have you forgotten the meeting?
- I'll be there in 5 minutes.
- I've waited months.
I can give you 5 minutes.
When can I leave?
In 2 or 3 days,
once you feel well enough
to go home.
I'll take you home.
Don't worry.
You can continue treatment
at home.
You can't stay indoors forever.
Trying to protect myself,
I got sick without travelling.
We'll meet twice a week.
It will be hard at first.
But don't worry:
you'll take control of your life.
You'll be able to go out
without thinking.
I'm not so sure.
You're not at home now.
And you're not scared.
That's why
I would be delighted, Nina,
to have you as a nurse,
in the department.
Thank you.
No.
I don't want you as a nurse.
You have all the talents
of a doctor.
Leave,
finish your medical studies,
and come back here as an intern.
Are you joking?
Am I?
I've never been more serious.
It's time you became a doctor.
As a nurse,
you never do as you're asked.
Thank you, Dr Proust.
You're welcome.
Miss Auber,
the majority of us are in favour.
The post is yours.
It's up to you.
We'll let you think about it.
Thank you.
Can I talk to you?
Of course.
Why did you do it?
Your declaration.
I thought you'd say yes.
Everything was fine.
Why ask me to marry you?
Because I love you.
I want to be with you.
A piece of paper
won't keep me here.
I know it won't.
What matters is commitment.
We have crazy jobs.
We're battling illness and death.
I need to know where we're going.
I'm sorry.
Marriage isn't for me.
I love you.
But you're asking too much.
It worked out well
sticking with this job.
You've found your place.
Not the one I'd have chosen,
but...
If if suits you, I'm happy.
What have I said now?
No. It's not you.
Proust thinks
I should be a doctor.
He's full of surprises.
But he's right.
Forget what I said.
You're between two stools:
neither doctor nor nurse,
and as annoying as both combined.
What will you do?
I don't know.
- I can't study now.
- Why not?
- You can change your life again.
- I agree.
I'll help.
I don't need help.
I'm fine.
- That's not like you.
- What?
Giving up.
I'm not giving up.
You said it: I've found my place.
Anyway, nurse or doctor,
once they're dead the patient
doesn't care.
Your ex doesn't look happy.
It's over with Hélène.
She's going to the USA.
He's free?
- I'm joking.
- I know.
Would you stop it
with the nurse clichés?
Kevin is crazy about you.
He's cute. He's your age.
Give him a chance.
He's the one for me?
You won't find better here.
Want to dance?
- I can't dance.
- I'll teach you.
- Are you proud of me?
- I've always been proud of you.
Even when I got pregnant?
You were very young
to have a child.
Did I let you down?
Your life was written out:
college, internship, the hospital.
You really wanted Lily?
Yes.
It was the only way out.
I was furious with you.
But you impressed me.
I love your courage.
You're never afraid.
I was afraid for Lily.
But you didn't get discouraged.
Nina, your life is your own.
But whatever you do,
I'll be there for you.
Thanks.
See? It isn't so hard.
If you say so.
When do you become a doctor?
In 2 or 3 years' time.
Can you fast-track?
I don't want to wait.
Me neither.
That was an advance.
I think we need some air.
She doesn't want it to end.
She just doesn't want
to get married.
It's too modern for me.
If you don't like modernity,
you should stay with your mother.
Will you stay?
- I'm not going to be a florist.
- No.
To you!
If I'd supported you,
you'd be a doctor.
It wasn't you.
Lily needed me.
And I needed you.
I need you.
Subtitles: Eclair Media
to have you as a nurse
in the department.
No.
I don't want you as a nurse.
Two days earlier
Fred! Wake up!
You can't stay here!
Just give me a chance.
- To ruin everything?
- I'm not an idiot.
And I'm not naive.
You shouldn't have let me back.
I didn't ask you.
I've got a sore throat.
What are you doing here?
Gloria, Néo is ill.
Can you look after him?
Answerphone.
I can do it.
No way.
Come on.
I don't want to be late.
He'll be OK.
- Néo, will you be OK with Fred?
- Yes.
I'll call every 2 hours.
Stop worrying.
If anything happens, I'll kill you.
Oh, no!
- Shall we make another?
- Yes.
- Are you OK?
- Mum, it's work experience.
It doesn't have to be here.
We're a family of doctors,
I'm not going to be a florist.
Mum! We'll be late.
Coming!
- Hello.
- Hello.
You look lovely.
Just like a nurse.
We're nearly there.
Let me out!
- Nearly there.
- Let me through!
Let me out...
Sir! Sir!
Deep breaths.
Trolley!
- OK.
- Calm down.
Welcome to internal medicine.
Come on.
Help me. 1, 2, 3!
What have we got?
He had a panic attack in the lift,
like claustrophobia.
My brother is agoraphobic.
He never leaves the house.
He's had a fever for 2 days.
He's got a cough
and stomach ache.
I managed to get him here.
I can't stay.
I want to go home.
I want to go home too.
That makes two of us.
He has jaundice.
It could be hepatitis
or a tropical illness.
Have you been abroad?
I haven't left the house
for 10 years.
Do you have TV?
What? Yes.
You haven't missed much.
Give him an antipyretic.
We'll test for hepatitis
and I'll be back once
I've got the results.
No! I can't stay here.
You're here now.
Let us look after you.
I have to go to work.
I'll come back later.
- No.
- It will be fine.
Lauren! No! Don't leave me!
I'm here.
I'll look after you.
Can you take a tablet?
He'll be OK.
It's hard seeing him like this.
Has it been long?
Our parents died 10 years ago.
Sandro never got over it.
- How about you?
- I never had time to cry.
I was looking after him.
I want him to be like before.
You managed to get him here.
It's a start.
Haven't you called
your psychiatrist?
If I do it, he'll think it's a joke.
Is the love affair over already?
Are you doing the agony column?
No. But if you don't get moving,
you'll be doing the small ads.
Call the psychiatrist.
Call him, Thingy!
You're here
as an observer: so observe.
Don't go near the patients. OK?
- Yes.
- Good.
You'll work with Dorothée today.
- Really?
- She'll show you the basics.
Do what she does and what she says.
Off you go, girls.
Don't let them out of your sight.
I don't want to get in trouble
with the boss. OK?
- Aren't you off for 10 days?
- Me? I feel great!
It's Fred.
Leave a message.
Call me back. I forgot
to tell you about lunch.
- It's fine.
- So I see.
You'll see, it's not hard.
Rule number 1:
don't sleep with your colleagues.
I keep breaking that one.
I'm not sleeping with anyone.
Here she is.
- Everything alright?
- Dorothée is teaching me a lot.
If you need to talk,
you can come and find me.
At any time. I know.
Mum said the same.
Don't worry. I'm fine.
I'm very proud of you.
Dad, people are watching.
Dorothée, new patient in 28.
OK.
- Why are you smiling?
- I'm in a good mood.
I know you.
You're up to something.
How long have you had joint pain?
Just over a month.
I think.
- I took no notice at first.
- She has a high pain threshold.
It got worse as I trained.
It was unbearable this morning.
My knees gave way.
I collapsed.
The selection for the championship
starts in a month.
She's tired.
1 or 2 days' rest and you'll be fine.
We'll do a blood test, blood culture
and ultrasound.
I'll give you an analgesic.
Impossible.
There are doping tests.
A painkiller, then.
- But you can't train.
- I can't just give up.
You're going to make me better.
That's what I want to hear.
Never beaten.
Would you leave us a moment?
- Please.
- It's OK.
You too.
On a scale of 1 to 10,
how would you rate the pain?
I don't know.
- 7-8.
- "7-8"?
I can't let you suffer.
I'll give you a class-1 analgesic,
authorised by the doping agency.
- Will you tell Juliette?
- No.
She believes in me.
I can't disappoint her.
You're ill.
You need treatment.
- Are they a couple?
- Didn't you see their hair?
What does that prove?
This is my theory:
when 2 women have the same hair,
they sleep in the same bed.
Women aren't my thing,
but each to their own.
This way.
You called?
Proust asked me to call you.
Should I be pleased or concerned?
I never congratulated you.
- For what?
- The end of training.
- You'll be a real nurse.
- No!
It's not signed off yet.
Something wrong?
This morning I...
Nothing.
Come on.
You must warn them.
- Who?
- My parents!
They died in an avalanche.
- It's over 40.
- Please!
Tell them to come back.
Do you know where you are?
Look outside.
It's summer.
There's no snow.
It's too late.
They're dead!
I see your patient is much better.
It's OK.
It isn't agoraphobia
but the fever making him delirious.
What do you suggest?
I could prescribe antipsychotics,
but it would mask his symptoms.
- Too kind.
I'll leave it to you.
Once his fever has fallen,
send him to my department.
Once his fever has fallen,
send him to my department.
That hasn't happened yet.
Hepatomegaly. It's hepatitis.
The tests will confirm.
What do we do?
Bring down his fever.
- I'll increase his antipyretics.
- No. I do that.
You do what I say.
Cool him down.
Sorry.
You needn't have come.
Don't worry. It's always
a pleasure to work with you.
It's Fred.
Leave a message.
Call me back
when you get this message.
You know I can help.
No. It's OK.
Have we got the results
from the last tests?
No. Not yet.
Hold on!
- No!
- It's something like that.
You must be proud of her.
You have no idea.
- I'm proud of you.
- What?
You qualify tomorrow.
But don't let this hospital
destroy you.
I know. Or you.
Me? No!
- No?
- I've changed. I've changed!
I have!
- We need to talk.
- About what?
I don't know what you saw.
Me neither.
He's a colleague.
I don't know what came over him.
It's fine.
My life is complicated too.
It's not my concern.
I won't tell.
I have to go home.
We have to take care of you.
Everything is going wrong.
If I stay here I'll die.
Let me go.
Stay here with me.
Can you get me a coffee?
Yes.
- Drinking coffee?
- It's for Dorothée.
- Want one?
- No thanks.
How can you bear
to see patients suffer?
I do my best to help them.
You never really get used to it.
I admire you.
I have to go.
- Got the hepatitis results?
- Yes.
They're negative.
What?
- His fever?
- It's dropped a bit.
Get an abdominal scan.
It could be flu.
Do you want my job?
Do what I say
and stop talking nonsense.
Kala-azar? No.
Scratched by a cat? No.
He'll work it out.
I hope so.
It isn't acute rheumatic fever
or endocarditis.
- Isn't that good?
- Your ESR is raised.
- Meaning?
It could be rheumatoid arthritis.
Arthritis?
Kia isn't even 40.
She does sport.
It could be genetic.
- Anyone in your family affected?
- I don't think so.
We'll do an X-ray.
We'll put you on anti-inflammatories
and monitor your symptoms.
- I don't believe it!
- I'm sorry.
"Sorry"? You don't know
what you're saying!
- Competing is her life.
- It's part of her life.
We'll change hospitals.
It won't change her illness.
- I know what I have to do.
- No.
If you care about her,
let the doctor do his job.
Calm down.
Everything OK?
No, it's not.
I've been calling Fred for hours.
He's not answering!
I shouldn't have left them.
It's nearly lunchtime.
I'll cover for you. You go home.
Thanks.
I've never had a trainee like you.
- Is that a compliment?
- Yes.
You'll need it tomorrow.
Proust won't go easy on you.
Shit.
Open! Shit!
It's Lily, who bit me
when I did a biopsy.
Doctor, how are you?
- Fine. What are you doing?
- Work experience.
- Dorothée is my supervisor.
- Hello.
And this is Kevin.
He's sucking up
to the boss's daughter.
- Rubbish! It's not true.
- We've all been there.
Come and see us later.
- OK.
- They'll be pleased to see you.
- Bon appétit.
- Thanks.
- He's charming!
- He's old.
Are you jealous?
You should try guys your own age.
Why?
They don't just want sex.
What is it?
Nothing.
I can't believe you turned down
a job in the US.
It wasn't easy,
but I have no regrets.
I've been thinking. And...
Will you marry me?
Sorry.
You don't understand.
Wait!
Hélène!
- We've got a problem.
- Yes, we have.
With a patient.
The door is blocked.
I tried getting in.
There's no answer.
- Sandro! Open the door!
- Call security.
No time.
- He's in a coma.
- I'll get Proust.
Nina. Come next door.
- Stay with them. Give him O2.
- OK.
What's wrong?
Lie back down.
My eyes are burning.
They're dry. It's the fever.
I'll be right back.
Hold on!
There you go.
Fred! Why don't you ever
answer the phone?
No!
Oh, no!
He's got worse since he came in.
Now he's in a coma.
Why are you here?
Is he going to tell you
about his mother?
You have to make him better first.
His agoraphobia is making it worse.
An infection caused the coma.
Really? Tell me more...
That's enough!
It's a haematological illness.
The patient and symptoms
are confused.
We'll put him on anti-inflammatories.
What about Kia?
Painkillers are not helping
her headaches.
Her joints are shot.
There's no rheumatoid factor.
It could be lupus.
Lupus? Well done.
Let's check
for rheumatoid arthritis first.
We'll review later.
OK.
- Nina?
- Yes?
- Did Hélène speak to you?
- About what?
Marriage.
No.
Give her some time.
Don't pressure her.
You look pensive.
Costa asked Hélène to marry him.
- And?
- Thanks.
You're surprised?
Not really.
When will you ask me?
No. No.
You've always looked after others.
Now you're free.
I like you that way.
Promise not to marry me?
Promise!
How are you feeling?
Not so good.
My head is in a vice.
Any progress?
We'll do more tests.
There's no point.
I won't run again.
This isn't your whole life.
I was at the bottom of the rankings
when I met Juliette.
She took me in hand.
I won two championships.
And now...
Now,
you'll get treatment and get better.
She won't want to be a carer.
She loves you.
- She will.
- I don't know.
- It won't be the same.
- You have to start over.
- That's exciting.
- If you say so.
You have to be brave.
You have to go the distance.
It's like a long-distance race.
- Where's Léo?
- Personal problem.
I'll deal with her patients.
You look worried.
- Because of her?
- Yes. No.
Well, it's... Lily, Léo.
I'm always worried.
- Work will distract you.
- Thanks.
Well?
I've searched the house,
the street, the parks: no-one.
They've gone for a walk.
- There's blood in the lounge.
- What?
How could I have left him?
We'll call the police.
I understand.
I just want to get out.
Going to get me a drink?
I can see you've been through it.
- The hair?
- No. The fear.
I want to know
what happens afterwards.
Afterwards...
everyone treats you
as if you're still sick.
But you know you're better.
Then it settles down.
It's what you want,
but it seems strange.
It doesn't sound great.
Sick or no, for some people,
you'll always be special.
And that's good.
To life after illness.
Help!
Help!
What is it?
He fell.
He hit his head on the table.
Get a trolley.
I cleaned it.
I thought he was fine.
- Then he fainted.
- What's his name?
Néo Bonheur.
Where were you?
Are you OK, darling?
- I don't want to talk about it.
- OK.
- Where's Léo?
- In the treatment room. Why?
- It's Néo.
- The police found him?
He's downstairs.
Come on.
What happened?
- He fell.
- I'm sorry.
Get out of here! Now!
- How are you?
- My head hurts.
Close your eyes
and open them when I say.
They'll be a light. Open.
Close your eyes. Open.
Great.
Can you stand up?
Can you walk on the line?
Well done!
He's fine.
We'll do a brain scan
and you can take him home.
You need to wake him up
every 2 hours.
OK.
He's just got a bump on his head.
Relax.
"His troubles weren't over.
"An enormous spot..."
Did Costa tell you?
Yes. He told me.
I don't understand.
- Do you love him?
- Yes. I love him.
I don't want to get married
and have children.
I didn't want a child either.
But I never regretted it.
I've been offered a job
in the USA.
Did you accept it?
I wasn't going to, but now...
I don't know.
If you don't want
to get married, tell him.
Excuse me.
How is he?
- What did you do?
- Nothing.
We were playing and he fell.
- You hit him!
- It was an accident.
You shouldn't have come back yet.
I promised my psychiatrist
not to do any overtime.
Look:
6 o'clock and I'm going.
I don't have a psychiatrist.
My patient is in a coma.
So I'm staying here.
Good luck.
Thanks.
- Bye.
- Bye, Nina.
Bye.
- Have you started smoking?
- No.
I wanted some air.
But it's not working.
You should revise
the symptoms of lupus.
Check out multiple sclerosis too.
- You never know.
- I was trying to help.
Then do your job.
Thanks.
Dr Antonakis. Can you put me
through to Dr Hélène Maurier?
I know she's working.
She's with a patient?
Don't disturb her.
Feeling better?
- Where's Lily?
- In her room.
Report
Want to talk?
No.
OK.
Hold on.
I wanted to thank you.
What for?
For all the nights you spent
pretending everything was fine
when you were worried.
You put up with my crying
and being angry
and for no return.
I'm your mum.
I love you.
Don't stay up late.
Tomorrow is a busy day.
I'm not going.
It's too hard.
I thought I could do it,
but it's too soon.
I'll find another placement.
- In a florist's?
- Good idea.
You do what you want.
You've nothing to prove.
Néo.
Néo, wake up, darling.
Mum?
- What's your name?
- Néo.
What day is it?
It's nighttime. It was Tuesday.
Tomorrow is Wednesday.
- Are you OK, Mum?
- Yes. Go back to sleep.
Has Fred come home?
He's not coming back.
I liked him.
Sorry.
It's my fault.
I got on the table.
Fred told me not to.
I disobeyed.
- He didn't hit you?
- No.
I wasn't a good boy.
Go back to sleep.
Sorry. My mother can't do it.
I can look after Néo.
I don't have school.
- If Léo is happy.
- OK.
Great.
I woke him up every 2 hours.
He can sleep if he wants.
I'll treat him like a prince.
- Let's go.
- Bye.
Alright?
- Well done. Great.
- Hello.
It's really great.
- Well done!
- Congratulations!
Yes!
Let's go.
7, 8.
Well?
Ready to take the plunge?
Come on!
You're qualifying.
Aren't you happy?
Yes.
We'll have a drink.
I invited your parents.
- My parents?
- What?
The evaluation is a formality.
Everyone wants you to stay.
- Everyone?
- Yes.
- Sure?
- Yes.
I don't understand.
I don't understand.
I looked at all the tests again.
I'm missing something.
How is the patient?
His situation is stable.
It won't last.
I'm not sure what's worse:
losing a patient
or not knowing what's killing him.
He's not dead.
We're not giving up.
We'll find what's wrong.
Before our parents' accident,
we were going to travel.
To go to the Amazon.
Follow the river to the sea.
He always dreamed of travelling.
He never lost those dreams.
He watches the planes
take off every day.
He lives near an airport?
When the wind blows
in that direction,
it's as if the planes
are landing in the living room.
Hepatomegaly
- How are you?
- My head still hurts.
Kia?
- How are you feeling?
- Not great.
Can you pass me my toiletry bag?
Thanks.
- What is it?
- It hurts.
- Here.
- Stay still.
Let me see.
Is it more like a pain
in your scalp?
Yes.
What is it?
- The comb signal.
- What?
A symptom of Horton disease,
inflammation of the arteries.
We'll do a biopsy to confirm.
We'll start you on steroids.
- Can it be cured?
- Yes.
Treatment takes a year or two,
but you'll lead a normal life.
- The patient!
- Yes?
- I know what it is.
- Easy.
Easy.
Take a breath.
Malaria.
He never leaves home.
Airport malaria.
Mosquitoes are carried on planes
and infect people who never travel.
Or even leave home.
Idiot!
I never thought of that.
Well done! You saved his life.
Now stop smiling.
Do the test
and then put him on quinine.
I feel so relieved.
The treatment's working.
It's not the treatment.
My career is over.
I don't have to suffer.
I was out of the running.
I didn't want to lose you.
What are you saying?
I wanted to be the best.
It was stupid.
I couldn't do it any more.
My body said stop.
Now I can start again.
What will you do?
Something else.
What about us?
There will always be other athletes.
But my life is with you.
OK?
Thank you.
Have you forgotten the meeting?
- I'll be there in 5 minutes.
- I've waited months.
I can give you 5 minutes.
When can I leave?
In 2 or 3 days,
once you feel well enough
to go home.
I'll take you home.
Don't worry.
You can continue treatment
at home.
You can't stay indoors forever.
Trying to protect myself,
I got sick without travelling.
We'll meet twice a week.
It will be hard at first.
But don't worry:
you'll take control of your life.
You'll be able to go out
without thinking.
I'm not so sure.
You're not at home now.
And you're not scared.
That's why
I would be delighted, Nina,
to have you as a nurse,
in the department.
Thank you.
No.
I don't want you as a nurse.
You have all the talents
of a doctor.
Leave,
finish your medical studies,
and come back here as an intern.
Are you joking?
Am I?
I've never been more serious.
It's time you became a doctor.
As a nurse,
you never do as you're asked.
Thank you, Dr Proust.
You're welcome.
Miss Auber,
the majority of us are in favour.
The post is yours.
It's up to you.
We'll let you think about it.
Thank you.
Can I talk to you?
Of course.
Why did you do it?
Your declaration.
I thought you'd say yes.
Everything was fine.
Why ask me to marry you?
Because I love you.
I want to be with you.
A piece of paper
won't keep me here.
I know it won't.
What matters is commitment.
We have crazy jobs.
We're battling illness and death.
I need to know where we're going.
I'm sorry.
Marriage isn't for me.
I love you.
But you're asking too much.
It worked out well
sticking with this job.
You've found your place.
Not the one I'd have chosen,
but...
If if suits you, I'm happy.
What have I said now?
No. It's not you.
Proust thinks
I should be a doctor.
He's full of surprises.
But he's right.
Forget what I said.
You're between two stools:
neither doctor nor nurse,
and as annoying as both combined.
What will you do?
I don't know.
- I can't study now.
- Why not?
- You can change your life again.
- I agree.
I'll help.
I don't need help.
I'm fine.
- That's not like you.
- What?
Giving up.
I'm not giving up.
You said it: I've found my place.
Anyway, nurse or doctor,
once they're dead the patient
doesn't care.
Your ex doesn't look happy.
It's over with Hélène.
She's going to the USA.
He's free?
- I'm joking.
- I know.
Would you stop it
with the nurse clichés?
Kevin is crazy about you.
He's cute. He's your age.
Give him a chance.
He's the one for me?
You won't find better here.
Want to dance?
- I can't dance.
- I'll teach you.
- Are you proud of me?
- I've always been proud of you.
Even when I got pregnant?
You were very young
to have a child.
Did I let you down?
Your life was written out:
college, internship, the hospital.
You really wanted Lily?
Yes.
It was the only way out.
I was furious with you.
But you impressed me.
I love your courage.
You're never afraid.
I was afraid for Lily.
But you didn't get discouraged.
Nina, your life is your own.
But whatever you do,
I'll be there for you.
Thanks.
See? It isn't so hard.
If you say so.
When do you become a doctor?
In 2 or 3 years' time.
Can you fast-track?
I don't want to wait.
Me neither.
That was an advance.
I think we need some air.
She doesn't want it to end.
She just doesn't want
to get married.
It's too modern for me.
If you don't like modernity,
you should stay with your mother.
Will you stay?
- I'm not going to be a florist.
- No.
To you!
If I'd supported you,
you'd be a doctor.
It wasn't you.
Lily needed me.
And I needed you.
I need you.
