TVTranscript
00:00Previously on Shortland Street.
00:02Are you too delicate for ED?
00:03No.
00:04There you go again, bullying him.
00:05It's not just Emma, the whole department needs an overhaul.
00:07I'm going to quit.
00:08Maeve has expressed her concerns around the way ED is being run.
00:10You and Maeve will be sharing the responsibility of HOD.
00:13Can't wait to teach an old dog new tricks.
00:14Getting rid of cetacean.
00:15Just because we stock it, it doesn't mean that we have to prescribe it.
00:18Where are we at?
00:19Building our case.
00:20Pulling up real world examples.
00:21The best documentary case was Eli Lynch.
00:23It's not going to take long.
00:24Addie!
00:25I'm doing this because I love you!
00:26Eli Lynch's medical records have been deleted.
00:29Someone clearly doesn't want anybody re-examining Eli's death.
00:32Just leave it with me.
00:33You've done a really good job.
00:34I'm going to pay out your contract, give you a hefty bonus.
00:36Just so that you know how much we appreciate you.
00:42So from today, nurses will report to me with a focus on clearing non-urgent cases.
00:47I think that's it.
00:48So if you have any questions, come and find me.
00:50Otherwise, thank you.
00:52That's it.
00:53This is your big moment, Maeve.
00:55Before you be rallying the troops.
00:57Okay.
00:58Yeah.
00:59I also want to acknowledge the tough job Emmitt's had running ED on his own.
01:03But if the nursing strikes last year taught us anything,
01:05it's that we all do better when every department has a voice.
01:08And now you've got one.
01:10You've got me.
01:11Woohoo!
01:12Yeah, Maeve.
01:13Bravo.
01:14Moving on.
01:15We have a train versus truck on a level crossing coming through any minute.
01:18Everyone on the A game, yeah?
01:22It's just too addictive.
01:23Why can't you see that?
01:24Love, we've kicked more bad habits than you've had hot dinners.
01:27And if it's between that and a death sentence, then it's a no-brainer, right?
01:31Look, the harm outweighs the benefits.
01:33Oh, come on.
01:34You're not even medical.
01:35But I am.
01:36And I know what I'm talking about.
01:38Logie, talk some sense into her.
01:39What's happening?
01:40She's trying to take Z from your dad and kill him stone dead.
01:43Is that what you want?
01:44Of course not.
01:45But the clashing has to go.
01:47Come on, have a heart.
01:48We're practically family.
01:49Holden, don't use the five-minute engagement card on me.
01:51We're not family.
01:52You're still playing footsie under the table with our boy, though, aren't you?
01:55I am not.
01:56She won't even show mercy to her own mother.
01:58Excuse me?
01:59Little Birdie told me that your mum's on Z.
02:01For her kidneys, right?
02:02Right.
02:03Well, that has nothing to do with you or anyone else.
02:05It just affects a lot of families, that's all.
02:07Not just ours.
02:08All do you want your mum to suffer, is that it?
02:10I know there's no love lost.
02:11Keep her out of this.
02:12Poked the bear, have I?
02:13This has nothing to do with her.
02:15Banning the drug that's keeping her alive.
02:17Sounds like some sort of twisted revenge to me.
02:19Right.
02:20You know what, Stevie Lee?
02:21I've almost had enough of you.
02:22Why don't you take your wild speculations and your cooked theories and get the hell out of this hospital?
02:26And take your husband and your son while you're at it.
02:33But this is the worst possible time to wind up the research.
02:36Which, from now on, will be done in the States.
02:38I know you've been very committed.
02:40Maybe too committed.
02:42What do you mean?
02:43You're jumping at shadows.
02:45My father wasn't murdered.
02:47You said yourself it's concerning.
02:49Your conclusions are concerning.
02:51You have to admit it's suspicious there was no autopsy.
02:54That was Dad's request.
02:56Well, okay, who deleted the files then?
02:58Was that you?
02:59Are you seriously asking me that?
03:01Look, it makes no difference anyway.
03:04Copies of Dad's records were sent to his doctor in L.A.
03:06who did a very thorough analysis for our lawyers.
03:10Everything was above board, I assure you.
03:12If it wasn't, we would have sued Shortland Street out of existence.
03:16Okay, but surely it's worth another look.
03:19Wait.
03:21Drop it.
03:22I obsessed enough over my brother's death.
03:24I'm not going down that road again.
03:27And neither are you.
03:30Okay.
03:31I understand.
03:32I hope you do.
03:34So, send me your data,
03:36and I'll come back to you with an exit package.
03:40And clear.
03:44Sign this with him.
03:45Good work, team.
03:46Now, this patient has an urgent date with Theatre 4, is it?
03:49Yep.
03:50Jenkins Operating, Gary Assisting, I think.
03:52Hey, um, can you guys take that hemothorax now?
03:55Bring it.
03:57You're taking this way better than I thought.
03:59Taking?
04:00I mean, do you see the top spot?
04:01I don't see it that way.
04:03Just stiff in the central, that's all.
04:05Have a look back. Good way to stay happy.
04:07This is Sandy Inkerman.
04:08O2 sats of 92% on six litres with reduced air entry on the right.
04:13Hi, Sandy.
04:14I'm Emmett.
04:16I'm going to help you breathe a little easier, okay?
04:19Let's prep for a chest drain and let me see the X-ray, please.
04:22You don't normally take the morning train, do you, Sandy?
04:24Is it just my luck the one time you take the train?
04:26A little less chat, please.
04:27Just try to relax, Sandy.
04:28We're all here for you.
04:29Communication is important.
04:30Yeah, you'd better listen to her, Clover.
04:32She's the boss of you now.
04:36Sorry about the wait, Mr Abbott.
04:38Big rush with patients this morning.
04:40Just one of those days.
04:41It's okay.
04:42I'm not urgent.
04:43I'm Phil.
04:44I'm one of the surgeons.
04:45I'm here to assess your injuries.
04:47He fell off a ladder.
04:48I told him not to go up there, but he wouldn't listen.
04:50Oh, well, I think he might listen next time.
04:53Mrs Abbott?
04:54I'm Elsie.
04:55He's Reg.
04:56Nice to meet you.
04:57How sore is that arm, Reg?
05:00Okay.
05:01I'm going to book you in for an X-ray and a CT scan for your head
05:04just to be on the safe side.
05:06There is a bit of a line for CT scans,
05:08so in the meantime, I'll take you some pain relief
05:10and we'll get you settled in a ward upstairs.
05:12Just as long as we're together.
05:14Absolutely.
05:15No problem.
05:16We've been married for 53 years.
05:18Oh, you guys.
05:19What's the secret?
05:20Oh, he's so handsome.
05:22She makes the best supper suey in the world.
05:26He's in pain.
05:28He says he's okay, but he needs something.
05:33Okay.
05:34I've charted morphine.
05:35He needs something.
05:36Okay.
05:37I've charted morphine so it can be topped up regularly by the nurses.
05:42Are you married?
05:43Uh, no.
05:44Boyfriend?
05:45Don't be so nosy.
05:47My partner works here, actually.
05:49Oh, is he handsome like Reg?
05:52Yeah, he's all right.
05:58Is this one from the crash too?
05:59No, opioid overdose.
06:01Okay, well, let's keep her in here for now.
06:03You said resus.
06:04This is a mass casualty event.
06:05We still don't know how many.
06:06So we should reserve resus for triage one and two patients.
06:08She's in bad shape.
06:09And we've got more trauma patients coming.
06:11Yeah, could be just the tip of the iceberg.
06:13Yeah, can you find a cubicle?
06:14Get started out here with the usual.
06:15Set of obs, bloods, hang a bag of fluids.
06:17On it.
06:18You're not going anywhere, are you?
06:19Next surgical case is on my.
06:20Great.
06:21Would you please check out Mr. Green's laceration?
06:23He's in cube two.
06:24May need a washout.
06:25No problems.
06:26Guys, this is Jeff.
06:27He's had 10 of ibuprofen.
06:28He's lost a lot of blood.
06:29Help over here, please.
06:30What have we got?
06:33You got some space in resus?
06:34As luck would have it.
06:36You sure you don't want to have a crack at running all this by yourself?
06:39You're a patient, I believe.
06:40Let's go.
06:43Hey, good call making resus free.
06:45Can you do the laceration?
06:46Yeah, yeah.
06:47I'll delegate and meet you in there.
06:51Right.
06:52Is Madonna still trying to make you bang someone else?
06:54Right.
06:55Of course.
06:56Bro, your love life is more screwed up than mine.
06:58It's not like I'm going to do it.
06:59Why the hell not?
07:00She owes you.
07:01Love is about trust and forgiveness, not about point scoring.
07:05So you're saying you would pass up the guilt-free good time with some hottie?
07:09Yeah, I would.
07:12Just as well because you're unemployed and you're sleeping on your friend's couch because your house burnt down.
07:19I've still got moves.
07:20Bro, know your audience.
07:21Yeah, well, okay, whatever.
07:23I'm secure in my masculinity.
07:25I don't have a problem there.
07:26No, you don't.
07:29No, you don't.
07:30I'm not the one you're looking for.
07:32You're the one I'm looking for.
07:34You're the one I'm looking for.
07:35No, you're the one I'm looking for.
07:38You're the one I'm looking for.
07:42I'm not the one you're looking for.
07:44Oh, yeah?
07:45Looks like Madonna's seen your little prissy.
07:50Babe.
07:51Hey.
07:52I'm on my way to theatre.
07:53What's up?
07:54You should come meet Regie Nelsey, the sweetest old couple.

09:30He's just pity and snarky Nick and acting like my new authority is a joke
09:34Did you really expect Emmett to be any different? Oh, it's a promotion worth this
09:40Okay. So what do you want to do? Do you want to throw in the towel and fly to Oz?

10:54You get that my dad's just scared, right? Yeah, but you know, it's a question. It's not the only heart drug in the world
10:59Yeah, but it's the best there is he feels way better if you take it away
11:02What if he dies you're gonna blame me for a night?
11:06but

11:26Am I a sociopath this isn't just about Holden is it it's Moira
11:31But all I know her life depends on this drug and I am trying to move heaven and earth to get rid of it
11:36for very good reason
11:38Am I a psycho?
11:39No, you're just angry. You're not vindictive
11:42Hey Logan should not be taking this out on you. He knows you care. Yeah, I'm more worried about his dad than my own mom
11:51Good to see you two having a cuddle
11:53Thank you so much for finding a Billy. Oh, that's my pleasure right place right time and Elsie is actually a pretty good kisser
12:01What's that? I think she thought I was someone else. He's handsome like you
12:05Well, I'm very relieved to get you two back together and rich your scan results should be through soon
12:10Oh, thank you, and I'll let the nurses know that Elsie can wander so you don't get so far next time

12:20He actually see me I'm an oatmeal
12:23Okay, I'll be back to check on you soon
12:25Well, I can stay with them for a while if you like would you sure not doing anything else just until they settled in
12:31Thanks, Billy. That's awesome
12:35I
12:40Found a missing lady. Yeah
12:42Sorry, I didn't get a chance to explain earlier Elsie. She has dementia
12:46She reverts back to her first language some on so at least doing a bit of translating
12:52Great
12:53Just look at them so devoted. It's gorgeous
12:56Hmm
13:03Just be careful, okay
13:07Take the money Boyd I would
13:09Would you though really if you felt like you were compromising your principles?
13:13Oh, it depends how much for that offering hang out a package yet, but whatever it is push for more
13:19No, that's not the point
13:21You will class
13:22Hey, you're a great researcher and the stuff that you found they just want to sweep it under the rug
13:27That's worth top dollar
13:28But there's a chance that Eli Lynch was murdered and if he was then Eddie needs to know so she can get justice
13:35Oh hasn't she had enough tragedy though?
13:37Yeah
13:38Kind of argument for not looking into it too damn painful. Maybe it was the cancer you know
13:45That's hard enough for people. It's just something off about all this I can feel it
13:49You can just move on to your next job or whatever
13:53Esther's offered me local work exactly and then you'll be all about that and forget about Lynch pharmaceuticals
14:00Focus on what's good for you in a voice
14:06Hey, it's the last of the train crash patients either admitted or in theater poor old Jeff didn't make it
14:12Yeah, it was a catastrophic injury tough for rehire in his team. Yeah, all right. What's next up?
14:19You may as well know I emailed the boss
14:21Esther
14:22What for to explain to her and no uncertain terms while this co-head business won't fly?
14:29Yeah
14:31And those reasons are no clear chain of command you were clearing patients faster than ever did you do those bloods mrs. Campbell?
14:37Oh, please tell me you followed up with our chemo patients anti-emetic. I was just about to go
14:42now
14:44Perfect example of the circus we've been running all day contradictory orders balls get dropped
14:49Edie's operated with co-heads before yeah doctors who know how to prioritize
14:54So I've told Esther this experiment ends now before someone gets really hurt
15:03Is that Esther let me guess too soon to win the experiment
15:14Nothing like a crisis to find out what you're made of I
15:18Know today was about as far away from smooth sailing as you can get
15:22Yeah, great work today all of you, and thank you for your patience with the new system
15:27Trial by fire for Maeve, but she's still standing just
15:35Okay, I know that today's been a really long day, but while everything is still fresh
15:41I'd really love to debrief with you all talk about what we could do better. Oh that drinks at my lease
15:49Thanks for that they need a blowout not a hooey trust me. I did you a favor
16:05I don't think I've ever been covered in so much blood. It's age totally stepped up today good for you
16:10Well, it's cuz I have my very own image shield me please coordinator Ross's from now on I wish sage come and have a drink
16:16I

16:20It looks like he's making an effort where he's trying to poison me. Do you want me to tell him to back off sage?
16:27Don't make me big
16:31Sorry Mitch is still not warming to co-leadership. What do you think he sent an outraged email to the CEO? Oh?
16:39Mm-hmm
16:40She had my back, but I just wish I didn't have to fight for his respect
16:44Well, I'm sure that he respects results, and you're getting them
16:48So you know he's to a better shift tomorrow at each other's throats probably not cancer wants us to work and so do you?
16:55So I should shut up and stop complaining. Just expect a little more from him. Mm-hmm. He might surprise you
17:02Oh
17:04Billy you're still here

18:46Anything else yeah, we might not see eye to eye, but we need to be united front
18:52Arguing in front of the team isn't exactly inspiring
18:56Fair enough
18:59Tension everyone things are gonna change now that Maeve's at the helm I
19:04Want you to embrace that?
19:06She's your biggest advocate. You don't get that kind of respect and follow-through in a leader every day
