who are only waiting to die.

Distance yourself from them.

You shouldn't get affected because

they're not your relatives!

We can get by on your salary, right?

If we cut our expenses.

No.

Honey?

Listen to me first.

Honey!

I'm ok, Mommy...

I won the Math Championship...

...Lola brought rice cakes.

I wish she brought pizza ha ha...

Hey, stop it!

What do you think you're doing?

Get out!

Go home!

These kids...

Get your hands off me!

This kid...

Look at that, your head is bleeding!

I'm taking you to the hospital.

Come on.

You're not my mother!

Well, I'm glad that I'm not!

If you were my son...

you'll be getting more than

a blackeye from me!

If you were in school,

you wouldn't have been beaten up.

How may I help you?

I'm looking for my husband.

He works here as a nurse.

Can you have him paged please?

Is he on duty right now?

Yes, his name is Theodore Gonzales.

Are you sure he's on duty?

Because we don't have

his name on the roster.

We don't even have his name

on the off-duty list.

But he's a nurse here.

I'm sorry, can you check again please?

I'm sorry. I'm certain, that's what

the computer records say.

Michelle, can I borrow you?

Excuse me.

Thank you.

Sean, what did you get

yourself into this time?

Even my work got interrupted.

I had to leave your brother

at the neighbor's.

Mrs?

- Are you Sarah?

- Yes.

Thank you.

I'm sorry about my son.

He takes after his criminal father.

That's not a problem, Mrs.

Norma.

Norma Fielding.

Thank you so much again.

I'm sorry for the inconvenience.

It's Ok, I'll be going now.

Yes, see you in church!

And cheers!

Cheers.

Teddy!

I'm not a nurse.

I'm a health care assistant.

Now you know.

They gave me an evaluation twice,

and twice they failed me.

Even though I got high marks

at adaptation, skills, knowledge...

I deserved to pass.

They want me to kiss the boss' ass,

like the others.

Ted, why didn't you transfer

to a different hospital?

If only I could, Sarah.

I'm bound by their contract.

They brought me here.

They have no use for me as a nurse,

so this is where they put me.

A health care assistant.

In other words, a slave boy.

Why didn't you tell me?

I thought I'll have it settled

once you got here.

But I think they're making

me wait for nothing.

I don't want people from back home

to know what I do.

It's humiliating.

That's why I don't want you to resign.

Because I'm only this.

There's nothing wrong with your job.

Don't pity me.

Reserve it for your patients.

Nigel!

Honey?

Yes?

I got my pay.

Good.

Sarah, could you send some money

to the province just for now?

Charge it to your account,

including Paulo's money.

Honey, can we talk?

About what?

I was calculating our expenses.

It turns out that our savings are small.

It will take a while before

we can get Paulo...

if we don't save enough in the bank

for "show money".

What do you want to say?

Nothing, except maybe

we should spend more wisely.

Even the small things could help.

We could eat out less often.

Or refrain from buying

unnecessary things.

Like your beer, maybe?

Or your cigarettes?

Do you know your daily

pack of cigarettes costs...

Wouldn't we rather send

that money to Paulo?

Then I also shouldn't watch TV anymore!

Do you want us to stop

using the electricity?

Let's be in the dark!

Do you want me to turn off the heater?

That's not what I mean, you know that.

You've got your first pay check,

and you're already dictating what you want!

Ted, your temper these days...

I have no intention to argue with you.

The problem with you is...

you earn a little and you think our entire

livelihood is being squandered!

Don't I have the right to speak?

Do you want me watch silently,

as we grow old working for nothing?

Ted, half of what we earn goes to rent!

Now you're blaming the place!

Where do you want me to sleep?

In the subway?

Ted, if you don't change your attitude,

there's no point in even coming here!

We changed countries,

but we're still the same!

Teddy.

After that, pick up lab results from 506.

Make sure they're complete.

They should be ready by now.

Sorry.

One of our residents, Mr. Morgan

is requesting a new personal sister.

One who converses in English fluently.

Sir, may I ask what happened to his carer?

Svetlana?

Well, the most she could say,

was yes and no.

They didn't get along too well.

So I thought I'd reassigned you

to take over her post.

Sir, this Mr. Morgan,

is he difficult to deal with?

Well he doesn't bite,

if that worries you.

He's here to recuperate from an operation.

The hours will be longer

than you're used to...

but you will be compensated accordingly.

It's a substantially higher rate,

than you're used to...

if that's Ok with you?

Of course sir, when do I start?

Oh I can speak and understand

English very well...

so you don't need to worry about that.

That's good to hear.

Where are you from, Sarah?

The Philippines.

I've heard great things

about the beaches there.

How do you say it... Boracay?

Boracay!

It's really beautiful.

Maybe when your father gets better

you should go, the two of you.

I don't think he'll ever be fit

enough again to travel.

He insists he can take care

of himself though.

He's been living alone now,

for quite some time.

Until the first heart attack came along.

He's been in and out of hospital

for the last two years.

While my sister and I...

We're both very busy.

Surely somebody should be here,

looking after him all the time-

Mr. Morgan,

you don't really have to explain.

I'm sorry, I better get going.

Just introduce yourself to him,

when he wakes up.

Make sure you coordinate

with the nurses...

I'm sure you know what to do.

We'll take good care of him, Mr. Morgan.

And one more thing.

You can call me David.

That's Mr. Morgan.

Alright, David.

Cheers.

Hello, Audrey.

Going back to your room?

Don't touch me.

I can get into bed the same way,

I went out of it.

Without your help.

Sir, your soup.

You don't have to feed me.

I know where my mouth is.

Just put it there and I'll have it

when I'm hungry.

Are you still there?

I'll call for you if and when I need you.

Now please get out of my room.

- But sir-

- Get out of my room!

Your appeal is no good, man.

They said you failed

your adaptation twice.

What else do I have to prove?

I'm smarter than those morons

at the hospital.

I have more brains.

Brains is not the only

criteria in adaptation.

You have to know how to

get along with others.

Your attitude- Hatton said,

you complain too much.

Towards your superiors and your co-nurses.

That's why you don't pass.

They said if you want to appeal

go directly to RCN.

RCN?

Man, I came here to be a nurse

not a nurse aid.

I don't want to be a slave.

Why are you telling me?

What was I before?

I'm a doctor.

Here, I'm a nurse.

There's no progress in the Philippines,

that's why we work here.

We work here because the Britons

couldn't stand their dirty jobs.
