00:01Previously on Shortland Street
00:02I'm packing my bags. I'm moving back to Hamilton with Mum.
00:05Bro, she's into you.
00:06Is that what you think? That I'm pining after you?
00:08What? No, I'm just worried about the fact that you're throwing your life away.
00:12It's nothing to do with you.
00:13Don't you drive a wedge between us.
00:14Also, help me, you'll be sorry.
00:16Kia ora, I'm Bonnie, this is Kadimir.
00:18I'm sorry, we need to go.
00:19So you know Dr Whitman?
00:20I don't want him anywhere near us.
00:22What's she been saying to you? A bunch of lies?
00:24She can't come in here yelling at a patient.
00:26She's not just a patient. Bonnie's my daughter.
00:31I can't believe she'd do this to me.
00:34Emmett, I need you to calm down and go and take a minute.
00:37Calm down? I've just met my flesh and blood for the first time and she's in there keeping me from her?
00:41Yeah, because she's resting. Because she's in pain and she is scared.
00:45And so is her mum.
00:47It's just such a massive slap in the face.
00:50Yeah. I mean, I think that was the intention.
00:54Yeah, stuff her. She doesn't want anything to do with me, that's just fine.
00:58I really, Emmett.
01:00Whatever happened between the two of you, it has to be fixable.
01:03Just get her a doctor.
01:05Hey, look, you don't get endless chances to make things right with your family.
01:09Trust me.
01:11So if the chance appears to make things better, you should take it.
01:17Just get her a doctor.
01:19So the poor kid can get treated and go home.
01:23Are you going OK?
01:25Tell me he's gone.
01:27He's gone?
01:29Katamia, drop it.
01:31How are you feeling, Katamia?
01:33Tired.
01:35OK, well, there'll be no more disturbances from here on out.
01:38I'm going to make sure you can rest.
01:43I, um, I want my girl fixed up and I need to get her out of here.
01:47I understand.
01:49I understand.
01:51We'll try and make sure Katamia can leave as soon as possible,
01:54but I do think she needs to be here overnight.
01:58Is there anything I can do to make you feel safer?
02:01Um...
02:03No, thank you.
02:05Just let me know how you get on.
02:07Yeah, of course.
02:12I cannot believe you circled back round me.
02:15I thought you weren't even into it.
02:17No, I didn't think I was.
02:19It just felt right. I thought we were on the same page.
02:22So the open relationship is now shut?
02:24Apparently.
02:26God, man, I felt like such a dick.
02:28Nah, mate, she should have told you the whole thing switched up.
02:31Well, I guess I know now.
02:33Bit?
02:34Nah, I've had it with today.
02:36Night.
02:41Chris.
02:43Hey, can I talk to you?
02:45I know it's...
02:47You're probably not interested, so I'll keep it short, but...
02:51Yeah, I'm just a bit confused.
02:54I just don't know if it's the right idea to move back to Hamilton.
02:59I know I need to, and Mum needs me,
03:02but what am I gonna do in Hamilton?
03:05I'm leaving everyone for what?
03:08Maybe it's not that at all.
03:11Maybe it's Mon.
03:14I'm not ready to say goodbye.
03:16Not to Mon.
03:20Yeah.
03:22Thanks, Chris.
03:36Oh, you can run, but you can't hide, weakling.
03:40Oh, hey.
03:42Oh, that's cheating.
03:44Hit the floor, guys, I'll cover you.
03:46Look, I've still got a lot of work to do, sorry.
03:49But you promised.
03:51Come on, boydie, get right a break.
03:53Sorry, I just... There's this urgent bug fix that I need to do.
03:56Yeah, I've heard the pitch already, but no AI today.
03:59No can do. I need an hour at least.
04:01Fine. Come on, boys, grab your weapons.
04:04I don't like guns. I want to be a doctor like my mum and dad.
04:07OK, right, yeah, but no-one's actually gonna get hurt, so...
04:11I'm dead.
04:13We'll help you.
04:15OK.
04:17Wonderful. Now you've made the game just like work.
04:20You know, you're ruining our day off.
04:24Type faster.
04:29I don't really want to talk about that just yet, Mum.
04:31No. You and me need to discuss how it's gonna work,
04:35you moving in with me, practically.
04:37I don't want to fight with my Logie Bear.
04:39I'm not gonna fight with you.
04:41We've got time. It'll be a breeze.
04:43I don't know. You've grown up a lot.
04:45I don't know your habits anymore, do I?
04:47I got used to Holden's quirks.
04:49Grunts from Tybo.
04:51His smell.
04:53Yeah, I know.
04:55Hey, maybe I could pick up Tybo, eh?
04:57Follow in his footsteps a little. What do you think, Mum?
04:59No, I don't want you getting hurt, love.
05:01Well, I'm pretty sure I'm big enough to make those decisions for myself.
05:04Oh, I don't know, practising martial arts in your room alone?
05:07Alone? It could be really dangerous.
05:09He won't be alone, though, will he?
05:11You moving back home is gonna be the mutts-nuts.
05:13Just me and my little boy having the time of our lives.
05:16I'm excited to have some fun with you too, Mum.
05:18Hey, Mum, you got time for a coffee?
05:20Uh, no. Oh, I got places to be, people to impress,
05:23and I gotta get this food to a meeting thingy.
05:26But it's my last day.
05:28Yeah, not on planet Earth. I'll see you on socials.
05:34You alright, Logie?
05:35Yeah. I just thought she'd miss me more, you know?
05:38We're mates.
05:39Sweetheart, put her out of your head. Soon you'll never have to see her again.
05:43Oh, excuse me. Can I have a table for two?
05:45Come on.
05:47He didn't even know he had a granddaughter. It's pretty awful.
05:50Well, have you asked the daughter?
05:53Not really.
05:54Maybe you should just stay out of it.
05:56I'm trying. I just...
05:58Bonnie trusts me.
06:00There are some things that you just can't get over.
06:03You know, things that parents do.
06:05I don't think you should interfere.
06:07Yeah.
06:08She has a good reason for cutting her father up.
06:11Yeah, and I'm not on Emmett's side.
06:14I just...
06:16I don't know. I just want Bonnie to be OK.
06:18I get that.
06:20But I don't want you to rush into anything, yeah?
06:29Hey, Phil.
06:30We're cool after last night.
06:32Of course. You did nothing wrong.
06:34I kind of feel like I did.
06:36Well, I'm not bothered.
06:38I think you're great.
06:39Your timing, not so much.
06:41I'll take that.
06:42I'm glad we're OK, though.
06:44Friends?
06:45Friends.
06:46And I'm happy, you know?
06:48You and Ihara are coming together together, faithful and everything.
06:52We're in a closed relationship.
06:54Being in an open relationship isn't being unfaithful.
06:56Yeah, right, right. I know, I know.
06:58Well, I don't know, actually.
07:00But, yeah, I'm happy you're happy.
07:02We're good together.
07:04And me and Phil?
07:06Yeah, happy to get back to it.
07:10What was that about?
07:11Nothing.
07:12Sure?
07:13Yeah, we're all good.
07:14I was just telling Vili about our changed relationship status.
07:18Why?
07:19He kissed me last night.
07:20Whoa.
07:22I didn't know I needed to watch my back around him.
07:24You don't. Vili's a good guy.
07:26Then why did he kiss you?
07:28He didn't know about our, you know, updated relationship status.
07:32I wasn't flirting.
07:35I'll believe that when I see it.
07:37OK.
07:38Phil.
07:39I did flirting.
07:41So you want to commit to a closed relationship,
07:44but you can't stop flirting with your workmates?
07:46Workmates.
07:47That's...
07:48You love that I'm a flirt.
07:50Anyway, I've told him I want to be with you and only you.
07:56Took you long enough.
07:59Ehai.
08:03OK, that's what we're going to do.
08:05Is that good?
08:06Yeah, I reckon we can do that.
08:07And then we'll just turn around and be like, caught ya!
08:09Excuse me.
08:10Why do you two look shifty as? What are you up to?
08:12We're planning to rob a bank.
08:14Oh, you need a getaway driver? I'm your man.
08:16No, we're just talking new rosters.
08:18Big changes thanks to a Susan paramedic taking off,
08:21leaving us in the lurch.
08:22Well, since it's my last day, how about you guys take me out for lunch?
08:25You can tease me all you want.
08:27Uh, no can do for me, cos I am busy busy.
08:32Is she acting weird, or am I just imagining it?
08:35You can come, bro.
08:36Yeah, nah, I gotta go talk to Phil.
08:38Clear the air.
08:44Thank you so much for your dedicated work.
08:46Doctors, it feels so much better.
08:48How about you go upstairs and help Marley pack for our beach trip, eh?
08:52Yeah.
08:53Are you coming, Dad?
08:54Boys, I'm never gonna finish this work if you keep bothering me.
09:03What are you doing?
09:04I'm nearly finished.
09:05I just need to re-upload everything when I'm done.
09:09Stop hiding.
09:11If you've lost everything, Drew, then I'm gonna be so much further behind.
09:14And then what are you gonna do?
09:15Bury yourself for even longer in your work? Boo hoo.
09:18Well, yeah, because this project means a lot.
09:20No.
09:21Zara meant a lot.
09:24But she's gone, and I know you're hurting, but those boys miss her too, and they need you.
09:30Yeah, well, it's the second mother they've lost, and this one was all my fault.
09:34Hey, hey, hey, hey.
09:35None of that.
09:36They still have you, the second best dad in the whole world.
09:40Come on, mate, let's have some fun.
09:43These kids aren't gonna want to hang around with their boring stick-in-the-mud dads forever.
09:48Maybe we could stay overnight, camp out on the beach.
09:51Hey.
09:52Why don't you be the big spoon?
09:56I just don't know if I can.
09:58Sure you can.
09:59Have I curled up really small?
10:02Five minutes till I'm clocking off forever.
10:04Been a quiet last day, eh?
10:06Yeah.
10:07Yeah, I was kind of hoping for a bit more action.
10:09Less action is always better, though, really.
10:11Well, it didn't really mean work.
10:13Nah, it doesn't matter.
10:15Nah, I don't know, like a little goodbye thing?
10:17Oh, whatever.
10:18You're moving to Hamilton, not leaving the country.
10:20What kind of sender were you expecting?
10:22So no speech?
10:23Okay, look, I'm sorry.
10:24I'll do a speech now, how about that?
10:26Ahem.
10:28Logan, you're such a legend.
10:30Okay, please, please stop.
10:31I'm not even bothered.
10:32No, no, hang on.
10:33No, no, forget it, okay?
10:34Forget I even asked.
10:35Immediate assistance to Ferndale Coast.
10:37Over.
10:38Shortland Street on our way.
10:39Over.
10:41Maybe we'll get a little action today after all.
10:48SIREN BLARES
10:57What have we got?
10:58We're away to hurry before the ice melts.
10:59Huh? What are you talking about?
11:00Just over there by the flags.
11:02Come on, Logan, go, go!
11:06We are all set, over and out.
11:10Come on!
11:11SIREN BLARES
11:17Surprise!
11:20You thought we wouldn't give you a proper send-off, eh?
11:22Oh.
11:24Oh, you did all this.
11:25You had no idea.
11:27Yeah, you got me.
11:28Do you look good, girls?
11:30I look good in everything.
11:32Okay, let's crack open that chilli bin.
11:34The others are coming, but we're taking it in shifts
11:36so we can party all night long.
11:38Bring B!
11:39Come on, hurry up, get together!
11:41And say Hamilton!
11:44Hamilton!
11:47Oh, aren't your mates total fun?
11:50Remember, it's just laters, not goodbye.
11:53I knew about this.
11:54Not until very recently.
11:56My invite was very last minute.
11:58Well, if I wanted to keep it a secret.
12:00Couldn't exactly tell your mother now, could I?
12:02I can keep a secret.
12:03And I always know what's best for my boy.
12:05And what's not.
12:10Just remember that Bonnie probably doesn't want the whole hospital to know.
12:14I'm not going to make a scene, Nick.
12:16Yeah, I know.
12:17I'm just checking in.
12:20Emmett.
12:21Can I help you?
12:23I just thought you might like to know that cut of me at surgery went well last night.
12:27How's she doing today?
12:28I'm going to go check on her now.
12:30Feel free to update me after you have.
12:32Or, you know, whatever.
12:34Yeah, hey, is this a thing that you want to talk about?
12:38Nope.
12:52Hey!
12:53Hey!
12:54Hi!
12:55Hey, shall we go over here?
12:56Yeah!
12:57Barbecue King is here!
12:58Hey!
13:01Stick away from his holes!
13:03Oh, God!
13:04Oh, absolutely.
13:05Just admit it, you've never liked me.
13:07You've been looking for a wee excuse, haven't you?
13:09Yeah, you're right.
13:10I don't like you.
13:11And you're not good enough for my Logie Bear.
13:13He's not your Logie Bear.
13:14He's a bear.
13:15With a job and a life.
13:17Okay, okay.
13:18Mum, that's enough.
13:20That pineapple's not classy.
13:22Mum, no.
13:24Hey, Drew.
13:25Glad you could make it.
13:26Hey, mate.
13:31How's the water?
13:33Hey.
13:34What's up?
13:35It's all good.
13:36It's pretty cold, but it's refreshing.
13:37Cold like my love lies.
13:42If it makes you feel any better, I kissed Phil.
13:46He hired Phil?
13:47Yep.
13:48Misjudged the whole situation pretty bad.
13:51Sonny!
13:59Hold on, hold on, hold on.
14:00Hold on, hold on.
14:01Haven't done your arms yet.
14:03This boy has been sunblocked to within an inch of his life freckles.
14:06And they're just going to swim it off anyway.
14:08Not if they wait for 20 minutes to let it soak in bits.
14:10Quick, boys, run before he rips you to pieces.
14:12No, no, no, no, no.
14:13Not till you're good and covered.
14:15Hey, boys.
14:16Drew, photo?
14:17Oh, yes.
14:18We would love a photo.
14:19What are we?
14:20You turn around in front, mate.
14:21Let's do this.
14:22Oh, this is so cool.
14:23Let's give it a run.
14:25One, two, three, cheers.
14:31How do we look?
14:32Oh, no, not you again.
14:34I'm just checking that you're not burning the sausages.
14:36Hey.
14:38Hey.
14:39Thanks for the photos.
14:40Oh, Monique's idea.
14:42Of course.
14:43She really went all out for you.
14:51Not again.
14:52Mum!
14:53Mum!
15:02I'm sorry.
15:03I'm working here.
15:04Hey, see?
15:05I don't mean it like that.
15:06So I'm the bad guy?
15:07No, I am.
15:09But I'm trying to make things right.
15:11I guess I'm still trying to figure out where the boundaries are.
15:14Well, I think kissing other people is definitely offside.
15:16Okay, understood.
15:18So let's stop doing it.
15:20I don't know anymore.
15:22Really?
15:23You're just being childish.
15:30She doesn't know she's got a grandfather?
15:31No.
15:32I said you were dead.
15:33How can you justify that?
15:35Do you guys want to take this somewhere else?
15:37No, thanks.
15:38We're fine.
15:39I don't want or need anything from you.
15:42Is that clear enough?
15:44Look, that kid is a part of me.
15:46Whether you like it or not, you can't escape that.
15:49You think she's not going to want to know about your side of the family?
15:52You think you're going to be able to answer all her questions?
15:55She has a right to know the men of her family.
15:57Yeah, and she does.
15:58Her dad and all the other men, and they are all so much better than you.
16:01You think you're spying me, but you're really just hurting her.
16:04Emmett, Emmett, this is extremely unprofessional.
16:06Patients can hear you.
16:08I was in awe of you when I was a kid.
16:10My dad, the great doctor.
16:12But I never felt good enough to be your daughter.
16:14And then I realized one day, actually, that wasn't it at all.
16:17I was fine.
16:19The problem was you.
16:20The problem was that I wasn't white enough to be your daughter.
16:27And that's all it ever was.
16:30My daughter is never going to be made to feel like that, ever.
16:35I'm getting cut of here some new clothes.
16:37I don't want to be near her.
16:49Another beer?
16:50Would you like some of Stevie Lee's moonshine?
16:52Mum, can you just call her with my name?
16:54What?
16:55If she started it, where is she?
16:57My name!
16:59Oh, look here.
17:00She started it.
17:02Now isn't this better than being at home stuck to your stupid diagnostics machine?
17:06Pretty good.
17:07I have to admit.
17:08Maybe next time your old mate Drew suggests living a little,
17:12you should consider not making such a stink before you ever sleep.
17:15Wow.
17:16Drew being right is the moral of the story.
17:18What a surprise.
17:20Hey, guys.
17:21Can you come back?
17:22I need to get some more sunscreen on you.
17:23Please.
17:24Just leave them be.
17:25Boys, get in that ocean.
17:26Fast.
17:27Go.
17:28Come on.
17:29Let's go.
17:30Let's go.
17:33Be careful.
17:34Yeah, not too far, okay?
17:38All right.
17:39How about you give me this?
17:40All right.
17:43All right, Stevie Lee.
17:45Sorry about that.
17:47Stevie Lee.
17:49Sorry I judged yours and Logan's relationship.
17:54Although, not entirely untrue.
17:56It wasn't exactly fair for me to say so.
18:02Okay.
18:03Could have been worse, I guess, Mum.
18:05Get out of it.
18:07Monty.
18:09I said you weren't good enough for my Logie Bear.
18:15Yeah?
18:18And I want another drink.
18:19Mum, come on.
18:20What?
18:21You expect me to be nice to her just because she loves you?
18:24What?
18:25Okay.
18:26You know what, I'm going to take my apology back because I really don't mean it.
18:30The only good thing about Logan leaving is that we don't have to deal with you anymore.
18:34You cheeky little shit.
18:37Ah!
18:38Ah!
18:39Ah!
18:40Ah!
18:41Ah!
18:42Ah!
18:43Ah!
18:44Ah!
18:45Mum!
18:46Shut up!
18:51Hey!
18:52Hey!
18:55You think I should step in?
18:57No, I reckon he's got it.
18:58Get off my shoulder!
19:01Say it!
19:02Say you love him, Lucas!
19:03You are crazy!
19:05Mum!
19:10Boys!
19:12Come back!
19:14God, how on earth did they get so far out?
19:16Marley!
19:17Boys!
19:18Marley!
19:19Row back in!
19:20Please!
19:21Mum!
19:22Get off!
19:23Mum!
19:24That's enough!
19:25Hey, are you done?
19:26Are you done?
19:27Marley!
19:29I said come back in!
19:30Boys!
19:33Hey, kid!
19:34Go rock the boat!
19:38We're rocking it!
19:43Get the gun!
19:44Get the gun!
19:47Mummy!
19:48Leave me!
19:54Dad!
19:57Hold tight, I've almost hit!
20:02Dad!
20:03Dad!
20:13Dad!
20:19You're late.
20:20Look, straight from work, I promise.
20:22I wasn't saying anything.
20:24Look, I actually had a really long shift.
20:26I can't go another three rounds with you right now.
20:29I don't want to fight either.
20:31What do you want then?
20:33To say sorry.
20:35Really?
20:37I don't want to retaliate.
20:39I don't want revenge.
20:40I was upset.
20:42I didn't mean it.
20:45You know I'd never purposely hurt you.
20:48Me neither.
20:51Come here.
21:01I'm leaving.
21:02Again?
21:04I honestly don't know how Mum put up with you for so long.
21:13You know it really messed me up.
21:17You probably don't even remember half the stuff you said, but some of it...
21:21God, some of it took me years to get over.
21:27To...
21:29To unlearn.
21:37I remember a lot of it, actually.
21:42It's okay.
21:51It's okay.
21:52We're okay.
21:53Mum.
21:54Mum.
21:55Mum.
21:56You're okay.
21:57I've got to go.
21:58Jez?
21:59Yeah, I think they're fine.
22:01Where was Boyd?
22:02Boyd was right behind me.
22:05Boyd!
22:13Come on, Boyd.
22:15Come on!
