- You have got to be joking.
(Anila sighs) - I'm not going over all that again.
- Good, then pack up and leave.
- I have every right to be here.
I have authorization to be a healthcare provider and a permit for my pitch in the market.
You're not throwing me out this time.
- Who'd you have to bribe to get those?
- You're as cynical as ever.
- When it comes to you, yes.
I mean, how on earth can you call this a medical clinic?
- Come with me.
- This is Jidu.
He had terrible asthma until he came to see me last year.
And this is Vani.
How's your back now?
Better.
And this is Geeta.
You know she had arthritis in both hands.
How do you feel after out treatments?
- [Geeta] Much better.
Thank you, Dr. Anila.
- Look, I'm sure there'll be some type of placebo effect from whatever it is you- - Placebo, no, these are genuine, measurable improvements.
- Measured by whom, you?
- Last year I was very sick.
I had breathing problems, fainting spells.
I almost passed out.
I went to see a doctor, and they did nothing, nothing at all.
Things got worse until I couldn't even leave the house.
And the Dr. Anila came to see me, and within days I was back on my feet.
- Right, I don't suppose you remember the name of this doctor who did nothing at all, do you?
- Oh, yes, it was you.
(inspirational music) (inspirational music continues) (inspirational music continues) (crowd chatting indistinctly) - Swollen ankle, query fracture.
What have you got?
- You don't want to know.
I told you so.
(phone ringing) - Sister, I've changed the sheets in the med ward, and also swept the floor.
What should I do after I've taken them to the laundry?
- Ambulance could do with a wash. - Way ahead of you.
I washed and polished it first thing this morning.
- Well, you could go see Sister Patel and see if she needs anyone taken to x-ray.
- Yes, sister.
Thank you, sister.
- How long do you think you can keep up the act?
- Act, what act?
A few more days.
My dad sees I'm enjoying my job, I'll be out of here by the end of the week.
(light intense music) (door opens) (phone rings) - 11:45, that's the latest you'll come in on a day off.
That's progress, Lydia.
- A former patient of mine, bumped into her today, is claiming that we- Oh, for Christ's sake.
- [Ram] What?
- Reya Coley, age 28, came in last January complaining of nausea and intermittent syncope.
She presented with all symptoms of a very serious heart condition.
We were supposed to arrange follow-up tests, but somehow she slipped through the system.
How the hell did that happen?
(phone rings) - That was a busy time, right after Dr. Ravens but before Dr. Walker.
We were massively over stretched.
- Now she's under the care of a herbal quack.
- Not our finest hour.
- Then I'll just have to make her see sense.
(soft intense music) - Can you feel that?
Yeah?
This?
(patient groans) - That's also.
Yeah, it's all that.
- Okay.
How did it happen?
- I'm a window cleaner, so I fell off my ladder this morning and- - Okay.
Well, let's get you x-rayed, and we'll just take it from there.
- I don't want to be any bother.
Just give me something for the pain, and I'll get out of your way.
- Well, we need to check if you've broken anything first.
Okay?
- You're very kind.
Thank you.
I'm so sorry to be such a bother.
- That's okay.
(soft suspenseful music) - That seems okay.
Now, we should check to see if there's any water on your lungs.
How are you feeling?
- Stupid.
- Don't feel bad.
The ocean currents can be pretty deadly around here.
- When the lifeguard brought him back to the beach, I thought I'd lost him, silly sod.
- Now, I'll try not to hold up your holiday anymore than I need to.
We'll keep you here under observation for a few hours.
Then you should be good to go.
- Is that, I mean, I don't wanna tell you how to do your job, but are you sure?
You hear stories, don't you, about after effects, complications?
- What stories?
- Dunno, I mean, I nearly died.
- You're really shaken off, aren't you?
- Don't worry, you are in good hands, okay?
(bouncy music) (traffic rumbling) (bell ringing) (traffic rumbling) - Reya!
Reya, there's something I need to explain to you.
- Not now.
- The hospital made an admin error, which is why no one contacted you, but I've looked at your medical notes again, and I'd like you to come in for some tests.
- I'm busy.
- Prolonged bouts of nausea and fainting can be a sign of something extremely serious.
- I'm perfectly fine.
- I assure you herbal medicine is not the answer.
You need to see a real doctor.
- I have a real doctor.
- Reya!
(speaking in foreign language) (speaking in foreign language) - What happens if your symptoms return when you're driving this bus?
- [Reya] They won't.
- Reya can be an unbelievable pain in the backside when I want to be, and I absolutely will not let this drop.
I'll be at the hospital all day.
Come in when you finish your shift.
Otherwise, I'm gonna come back here and say the same thing tomorrow, and the day after that, and the day after that as long as it takes.
- Then let me save you wasting your time.
The answer is no.
- Mutey, let's go.
(announcer talking indistinctly) - Doc, what's the plan?
- No plan as such.
Get some sun, relax, get away from it all.
Mainly the casseroles.
- Casseroles?
- When women of a certain age find out a man's a widower, they come round bearing gifts, namely casseroles.
I've been fighting 'em off in the driveway.
(waiter laughs) What's funny about that?
I'm an eligible man.
- Oh, I know, I know, yeah.
If I was 10 years younger.
- Haven't you got customers to serve?
- Yes, love, what can I get ya?
Same again?
You all right over here?
Lovely.
- What are you doing in here?
- Sorry, I was looking for the toilet.
I just needed some time on my own.
- Are you all right?
- Not really, no.
- Is there anything I can do?
- I don't know.
It's quite personal.
(bouncy music) - She's very good with this kind of thing, aren't you?
- Yes, apparently - It's Karen.
I don't wanna sound cruel, but I didn't realize she'd be so full on.
- Full on?
- We've not been seeing each other long.
It's the first time we've been away together.
She's very demanding when we're alone.
(light music) - If you like, I can tell her that you need a rest.
You need some time alone to recover from the trauma you've been put through.
- By the ocean.
- Yes.
(patient exhales) - Yeah, that'd be brilliant.
(group chanting in foreign language) (camera shutters) (group chanting in foreign language) (soft music) (soft music) (soft music) (crowd talking indistinctly) - Okay, your turn, I need some help.
What do you think?
This is the window cleaner that fell off his ladder.
Am I'm missing something because it seems perfectly normal to me?
- That's because it is.
Though why it takes two of you to see that is beyond me.
- How's your day off?
- You're fired.
- Finally.
You're not missing anything.
(light upbeat music) (light upbeat music) (phone rings) (light upbeat music) (pill containers rumbling) - Put it back, all of it.
(dramatic music) (cart crashes) (dramatic music) (doctor banging) Open up!
Hello?
Let me out!
Open up!
(doctor banging) (dramatic music) (bike reves) (doctor yells) - Is this a bad time to mention bike locks.
(dramatic music) (crowd speaking in foreign language) - Did you put her up to this?
- Who?
- You know very well who.
Reya won't even speak to me.
- What I say to my patients remains confident.
- Look, if you genuinely care about Reya's wellbeing, make her come back to the hospital.
- Make her?
- Don't twist it, you know what I mean.
Help me to help her.
- Reya is my patient.
- Fine, then talk me through how you're gonna test her for heart disease without an ECG or an echo?
- There are ways of dealing with underlying problems in the body.
- Oh yes, the balance of spiritual energy that supposedly affects everything from diabetes to cancer.
Come on, you were a medic.
You can't possibly believe in all this stuff.
- You know, I worked in a hospital in Jenin for 10 years.
I've seen things that defy conventional teaching.
- So have I, but freak occurrence and coincidence doesn't mean you have to believe in fairies.
- I believe in whatever works for my patients, not just the medicine, but the whole process.
In the hospital I would have to see 30, 40 patients a day, but here I can give them time, sit and actually talk to them.
- All of which sounds lovely until you get a waiting room full of trauma victims and infectious diseases.
- You know, if you'd given more time to Reya, perhaps she'd still be your patient.
- Running a hospital is a world apart from sitting in a tent doing reiki.
This woman needs medical help not a cozy chat.
- I've seen doctors like you before.
You know you love to be a big fish in a small pond, everything under control.
But with this one patient, she's seen through you.
There's no trust, no respect.
You mean nothing to her, and that must be killing you.
- Didn't realize you offered psychobabble as well as magic potions.
- Excuse me.
(somber music) - What did he take?
- All sorts, bandages, clusters, penicillin.
Mainly morphine and syringes.
- It didn't occur to you that he was a junkie?
- Obviously not.
- I called Carmel Hospital just in case he goes there.
They said someone matching his description had tried the same thing yesterday, but they, well, they realized straight away and told him to leave.
- Glad to see you've been coping without me.
(soft bouncy music) (patients laughing) - Dr. Walker, I was wondering if I could ask you for a second opinion.
(patient laughing) I need to tell Mr. Taylor that we'll be discharging him tomorrow.
- I might give it a minute.
(upbeat music) - Lydia?
- Not now, Mari.
- You have a visitor.
- Reya, I'm so glad you came.
If you come this way, we'll get you started.
- That's not why I'm here.
After you came to see me, my supervisor called me into his office.
I've been sacked.
- What?
- He heard what you said.
I tried to tell him that I'm fine now, that there's nothing wrong with me, but he wouldn't listen.
I'm on my own.
How do I look after him?
- Reya.
- I'm going to make a complaint about you and your hospital.
- Let me help you, please.
- Leave me alone.
(somber music) (water rushing) - Ty, what have you been up to?
- Sight sightseeing.
Buddhist temple in the morning, ashram in the afternoon.
- You went to a Buddhist temple and an ashram?
- I've got a cultured side, you know?
- Yeah, I've heard you get outta the bath to do a wee.
I thought you came here to relax.
- I did.
- Oh, get yourself settled in 'cause there's plenty more where that come from?
- I'm not stopping long.
I've got a busy day tomorrow.
- Yeah, what you up to?
- I'm going to a festival of Kathakali Theater.
- Kathakali, seriously?
Don't get me wrong, some people love a bit of Hindu performance art, but I can't see you being one of them.
You got a bang on the head?
- Get off your daft bugger.
- Come on, I've had medical training of sorts.
Let's have a look.
- I'll said get off.
(crowd chatting) (match strikes) (light music) - I am back.
What's all this?
- Oh, I just thought we'll have a romantic dinner, just the two of us, you and me, and then see where the evening leads us.
- Well that's a nice thought, sweetheart, but tonight we are with the Cutries.
- No, that's next week.
Isn't it?
- Do you ever use the diary I got you?
- Yes, sometimes.
- Well, I can't cancel it now.
- AJ.
- Be strong.
You're doing the right thing.
- It's fine, I'm going out now.
Have fun.
- No, no, no, there's a change of plans.
In fact, I'd like you to join us for dinner with some few friends and a nice young lady.
- God, not again.
- I know I've tried to match make for you before, but trust me, this time I'm right.
- And this is fine for you?
- Oh, absolutely.
- You have nothing else planned tonight?
- Some things are more important.
Of course, I can't make you come with us if you don't want to.
- No, you can't.
- I'll just sell your car and put you on permanent night shifts.
(light music) - We were holiday in this Posh Spice hotel.
Anything that he could ask for.
And guess what Mandeep turned around and asked me?
What did you ask, Mandeep?
- Is there a library?
- [Mandeep Father] Is there a library?
- Well, I can't say AJ's a voracious reader, but then he certainly has some interesting stories of his own.
- Yeah, I suppose.
Well, there's this really funny story about this girl from England.
- Excellent, excellent.
(Ram laughs) But why don't you ask Mandeep a little bit more about herself?
- Yeah, okay.
Mandeep, do you have a favorite film?
- No.
- TV show?
- I don't watch TV.
(light music) - Okay, do you listen to music?
- No.
(light intense music) - [Prashant] Sir, the road is blocked, so bus can't go.
- [Boss] Why are you coming and telling me this?
- Sir, police have to come.
- Sir, that's your job.
Please go and get the road clear.
That's what you're paid to do.
Don't bother me, thank you.
Thank you.
Well, Reya hid medical information from her employer.
That's a very serious offense.
- She has a child.
She was desperate to keep her job.
- And I'm desperate to keep mine.
I can't let her drive a 12 ton bus.
- No, of course not.
But until we know what's wrong with her, why not let her work in the ticket office or as a conductor?
- I heard you talking yesterday.
You said she could be seriously ill.
I'm running a business, not a charity.
- Yes, yes, she could be seriously ill, but it doesn't mean it isn't treatable.
And if you give her a second chance, I will do everything in my power to keep her fit and healthy.
- Sir?
Sorry, I can't go, sir, I don't have schedule.
- You don't have the schedule, Prashant, because you've left it here.
- Ah.
- And if nothing else, think of the time you'll save by not having to train someone else on.
Good staff aren't easy to find these days.
- Tell me about it.
And I guess there's a hell of a lot of paperwork when you fire someone.
- It must be very difficult.
- People don't appreciate how hard it is to keep up with it all.
- Try running a hospital.
- If I say no to you, you will be, what was your phrase?
An unbelievable pain in the backside?
- Afraid I will.
- Ah, all right!
- Ah!
- Mind if I tag along?
Despite what I said last night, I'm actually a huge fan of Kathakali.
- Are you now?
- Oh yeah, massive, yeah.
- I'd love to play poker with you.
I'd make a bloody fortune.
Kathakali Theater Festival, please.
(kids yelling) (somber music) (somber music) (Lydia knocks) - Two minutes of your time.
Okay, one minute, one minute.
I've spoken to your boss.
He's agreed not to fire you.
I've also spoken to a specialist in Kochi.
He works at a private clinic, but I've arranged with him to see you for free.
Now, I know you don't trust me, but he's an expert in his field, and second opinions don't come any better.
I can tell you more, but it will take longer than a minute.
(light music) Thank you.
(door closes) - Got to give it to you, Lydia, you're persistent.
- Here are some details about the consultant Mr. Nagra.
I've written my number on the top so you can ring me at any time, day or night, and I can arrange an appointment.
Your boss is expecting to see you today to talk through some options.
Now, you won't be driving for the moment, but he will keep you on the same pay.
- You spoke to him, and he changed his mind (fingers snap) just like that?
- There is one condition, that you agree to be under my care.
- Now she gets to it.
You think the great Lydia Fonseca can sweep an order people around, and they'll fall in line.
- She needs a clean bill of health for insurance.
That's not something you can provide, is it?
- This woman is an arrogant control freak who loves to tell you that she and only she knows what's best.
- Reya, I appreciate this is a difficult situation, but you have a very clear choice about who to listen to.
- [Anila] She's already made her choice.
You've never- - Enough!
(baby cries) I'm not some stray dog you can just fight about.
Get out of my house, both of you.
(baby crying) Now.
(baby crying) (light music) (light music) (light music) (upbeat music) - You've had a terrible trauma, Mr. Taylor.
So remember, plenty of rest and relaxation.
- Yeah, poor guy.
He's gonna be so bored.
- It doesn't stop you having fun though.
You should get outside in the sunshine, keep up with vitamin D levels or try relaxing on the beach.
- Or you could go on a day trip somewhere.
- Yeah, I just might do that.
Right, come on you.
Come on.
Oh, sorry.
Sorry.
- I dunno about you, but that's exactly why I got into medicine.
- I don't believe it.
Hey, where's my bike?
- I can explain.
- Where is my bike?
- The medicine is not working.
- Look, if you're an addict, I can refer to you to a rehab clinic.
- No, no, no, it's nothing like that.
You have to help me.
We don't have much time.
Please.
(light music) - For the record, this is a mistake.
- For the record, I disagree.
(light dramatic music) (dog barking) (group chanting) (people chatting in foreign language) - Remind me why we're here.
- He needs help.
- Yes, but not from us.
- He says he's not a junkie.
- Oh well if he says it.
(suspenseful music) (people chatting in foreign language) - This is my brother Sorish.
Sorish?
- Hi, I'm Dr. Walker.
This is Dr. Varma.
How are you feeling?
When did this happen?
- [Patient] Last week.
- I'm just just arm, yeah?
- [Patient] Yeah.
- Hold still, I'll be as gentle as I can.
What happened?
- [Patient] He got burned.
- How?
- Does it matter?
- It does if you want us to help him.
- It happened in the storm last week.
He was touching the light switch when the power came back on.
The shock threw him across the room and set his shirt on fire.
- Why didn't you just say that?
- Because they've been stealing electricity.
There's some pretty big fines for that these days.
- Not just fines, not if you have been arrested before.
- This is very badly infected.
There's nothing I can do here.
You're gonna have to come to a hospital.
- No.
- We won't telling anyone how it happened.
- How do we know we can trust you?
- Well, trust me when I say this.
If he doesn't get help today, he'll lose his arm.
- I brought some cushions.
Kathakali can go on a bit.
Don't want the old farmer jars to rear the ugly heads again.
- One good thing about going out with a doctor, I suppose, instant treatment.
- You'd think so, wouldn't you?
But she just says it ruins the magic, especially if it's anything to do with my nether regions.
- Women, eh?
How is Dr. Fonseca anyway?
- Oh, you know, it's good.
Great actually.
- We really are gonna play poker.
Big stakes too.
- If you must know, I did throw a bit of a spanner in the works the other day.
I sort of accidentally mentioned marriage.
- Sort of accidentally.
- Just was testing the water to see what she'd think.
She just laughed.
Like being wed to me was like this big joke.
- Sorry, am I supposed to say something?
- Ideally, yeah.
- Oh, I'm not sure what to say really.
When me and Mags, it was always plain sailing, even after 40 odd years.
Mind you, when I first met her, I pretended to be all mean and moody.
You know James Dean kind of thing.
Every time she spoke to me, I'd just grunt.
Light up a fat.
- How did that work out?
- She went out with my best mate for two years.
- Last time I talked to you about me love life.
- I do hope so.
(people chatting) (phone rings) - AJ, I just got off the phone with Mala.
Mr. Cutrie is absolutely blessed with you and Miss Mandeep.
In fact, she wants to see you tonight again.
I mean just the two of you.
- Yay.
- Oh, give her a chance, AJ.
These things take time.
- It's a bit like you proposing to Mala.
- I'm going to get to it when the moment is right.
I want everything to be perfect.
And don't go around changing the subject.
Lydia, can you please give some advice to my son about matters of the heart?
- I'm too busy to think of a good excuse, so I'm just gonna say, no, I don't want to ever.
- Lydia!
- Yeah.
- There's an emergency call from (indistinct) - What do we got?
- Reya Coley.
(soft music) (people chatting) (sirens wailing) - Move out the way please.
Move out the way.
Excuse me.
How long has she been like this?
- I don't know, 10 minutes or more maybe.
- Everybody get back.
(speaking in foreign language) Get back!
Reya, can you hear me?
(people chatting) - Dr. Fonseca?
- She's arrested.
Where the hell have you been?
Get that thing here now.
Charge it to 200.
Quick!
(machine beeps) - It's steady.
- Stand back!
Everyone stand back!
Back!
(machine beeps) (machine shocks) We've got a pulse.
Get this stretcher!
(somber music) - You see the infection's bad, but there's a clear line of demarcation.
- [Dr. Walker] It's that far?
- Yes.
Necrotic tissue isn't always visible, so we need to make sure.
Little deeper.
That's it, yeah.
You're doing well.
- Was that a compliment?
- No, just a fact.
- Do you think you'll be able to keep it free of infection?
I mean antibiotics aside, his place isn't exactly germ free.
- True, but what else can we do?
- Electric wiring, that's insane.
- When I was a kid in Mumbai, there was this lamppost outside our front door.
It was like a spider's web of electric cables.
When it rained sparks with shootout all over the street.
- You grew up in Mumbai?
- Yes, in Dharavi.
It's like a city within a city.
- Like a slum?
I always thought you went to some posh boarding school.
- I did.
I wouldn't call it post exactly.
I got a scholarship when I was 12.
What?
- So you grew up in a slum, and then you got sent away to school.
- Yes.
(light music) - That's it?
That's all I'm getting?
(inspirational music) Okay.
(inspirational music) (machine beeping) - I just spoke to the ICU at Kochi.
They're sending a medivac team.
Should be here in an hour or so.
Any change?
- No.
- How long was she down for?
(machine beeping) Why don't you take a break?
You look tired.
- I'll check out the ultrasound and see what it's shown.
- No need to do that.
They'll do an echo in Kochi.
- Yeah, but whatever information we give them could help.
- The only thing we can do is to concentrate on keeping her stable.
The ultrasound won't help.
- In your opinion.
(light music) - Lydia, there is nothing more you can do.
(light intense music) - I just heard.
How is she?
Please.
- For 10 minutes, she had minimal, if any, cardiac output, which means if she survives, it's highly likely she'll have significant brain damage.
- She seemed, I thought she was doing good.
- And you were wrong.
- Which is why I specifically told you not to interfere.
- I was trying to help her.
- Well, now she has life-changing injuries and a child with no one to look after him.
That's on you.
I hope you can live with it.
- Lydia?
- Now get outta my hospital!
(light intense music) (baby laughing) - Okay, shh.
I've spoken to social services.
They are trying to find someone to look after him till we know more.
- Okay, thank you.
- Yes.
Is it okay if I carry him for a bit longer?
- Yeah, that's fine.
- Thank you.
Hi.
(upbeat Hindu music) - So is that one a demon?
- No, he's a god.
That's the one who saved the princess from the snake in the forest.
- Where'd you hear that?
- Read the story last night.
Tried to anyway.
(upbeat Hindu music) (singing in foreign language) - What?
- I put my camera in your bag.
(indistinct) Must left it in the tuk tuk.
Oh, for Christ's sake.
(singing in foreign language) Stupid, so bloody stupid.
(singing in foreign language) - It's probably for the best.
That'll probably crack your lens.
(upbeat Hindu music) It's just a camera.
(soft music) (audience applauding) - There you go.
Now, there's a nice little Irish bar just round the corner if you fancy a quick stiffter.
- Ah, let's just get back.
I'm just tired, that's all.
I'll never sleep right in this bloody country.
- Look, I know this is none of my business, but the things you've been doing, the places you've been going to, not for you, is it?
- I'm on holiday.
What do you want me to say?
- Don't want you to say anything.
I'm just trying to be a mate.
- I didn't wanna see this stupid theater thing.
I didn't want to wander around a temple in 100 degree heat, and I didn't want to catch a boat to a bloody ashram.
These are things that Maggie wanted to do, things we were gonna do together, but we never had the time.
There, I've said it.
Now what?
(somber music) Exactly.
(somber music) (birds chirping) (footsteps treading) - The medibac team are here.
- I'll be there in a minute.
(birds chirping) (people chatting) I know what you're going to say.
- Do you?
You had a one woman discussion within your head and resolved everything.
- It was unprofessional for me to lose my temper like that.
I know, but that bloody woman winds me up.
- If it was me, I'd like to think about why these things happen.
I'd like you as one of my dearest friends to ask if my personal feelings are clouding my judgment.
We need to accept what we are responsible for, the mistakes we made.
- Have you finished?
Good.
(soft music) - Be careful with her.
(somber music) (sirens wailing) (phone rings) - We've cleaned up the wound.
He should make a full recovery.
- Thank you so much.
- [Doctor] We'll bring him out in a few minutes, and you can see him when he wakes up, huh?
- Okay.
- Wait.
You're going to keep stealing electricity, you need a circuit breaker, something to cut the power when a search comes through.
- And who's going to pay for that?
- I will.
When you bring her bike back.
(people chatting) (water rushing) - Hi, you're right on time, obviously.
What can I get you to drink?
Water, no ice, no lemon?
- Tequila, two shot glasses.
- Coming right up.
- What?
You're not seriously telling me you believe that act.
It's just so my father doesn't look too closely at my life.
Leave the bottle.
- Easy tiger.
- What, so the whole Clark Kent, glasses, spinster thing, it's just an act?
- These are my actual glasses.
I'm shortsighted.
Although it does help the act.
Anything to keep my father off my back.
- Don't get me started on my dad.
Life is pretty boring right now.
- AJ, life is only boring if you get caught.
Cheers.
- Cheers.
(soft music) (soft music continues) (soft music continues) - I thought your shift had finished.
- These things get in such a mess.
Just trying to get ahead for tomorrow.
- Mari, are you okay?
- Good, thank you.
I haven't heard from him if that's what you mean.
- It's fine.
- I'm glad.
- If you like, we could go for a few drinks, maybe even make a night of it.
- I don't think I'm ready for that yet.
You could find someone else, one of the other doctors perhaps.
(Mari laughs) - Actually, I'm feeling quite knackered, so I'm gonna head home.
- Good night, Ruby.
- Good night, Mari.
(soft music) (bike revs) (soft music) (people chatting) (door closes) (people chatting) - I did what I thought was best.
I thought I was helping her.
- She was badly let down.
- I know.
- Not just by you.
(soft music) (soft music) (water rushing) (soft music) - You look like you could use a drink.
- More than one.
- There you go.
Although I should point out that one of these is for me if you don't mind the company.
(people yelling) You know, you can tell how many hours of daylight are left by putting your fingers flat to the horizon like this.
Each finger's about 15 minutes, give or take.
I just ruined a lovely moment by being boring?
- No.
No, it's fine.
I'm in the mood for boring.
(water rushing) (people yelling) (soft music) (soft music continues) (soft music continues) - [Uncle] Dear, Ruby.
Even though we have never met, I have thought about you all through your life.
Your father is my brother, and there are many things you need to know.
Can we meet?
