TVTranscript
00:00Previously on Shortland Street
00:06I do kind of like Griff, but his ex was a drug addict. I was like that too, a drug addict
00:11Maybe you don't want to be around me anymore
00:16I like you too
00:21It may or may not be relevant, but she just found out that she's pregnant. I'm gonna do it on my own
00:26It doesn't have to be this way. Just go. I'll give you your space, but we still need to talk about this
00:31I'm sorry, it's sad news. Maybe you both could grieve together
00:47Hey, no punching in this house, please
00:57I'm alive!
00:59Hey, I said no fighting!
01:01Okay, okay, okay, show is over. Go brush your teeth and get your backpacks, please
01:10I'm sensing a little unrest
01:13What's wrong?
01:15You really need to ask?
01:17Yeah, what is it? You heard what Marley said last night. Yeah
01:22Yeah, he basically told me to run away again. He was joking. You didn't stand up for me
01:26He didn't tell you to run away, babe. He might as well have. Listen, you are a wonderful parent
01:33But sometimes you put the S in mothering
01:37I do not. No fighting, kids. I don't like violence, Drew. When you went AWOL, I had to console them somehow
01:44What, with brownies? No!
01:46No. Mainly ice cream, daily. I had to keep their spirits up.
01:52I just think it could be something deeper, like maybe Marley needs counselling. No
01:56He doesn't. He needs fun and freedom and he gets that from his dad. He just doesn't want to say that
02:01I think he's masking something. Remus was a good little friend to him. It's got nothing to do with Remus
02:07He's fine
02:11He's here
02:12Oh, Chris. Great, and he knows I've been stalling him. How? Well, he went and checked out the surgical floor and obviously there's no renovations
02:20Right. Good luck!
02:22I
02:24Want theater six
02:26Chris, take a seat
02:29We have a contract
02:31Well, I don't like the way you do things
02:34My patient is being transferred later today. I want your full cooperation. I don't want any more risky surgeries. He was your patient
02:42Who are we talking about?
02:44Historic fractures, untreated. Cane tapsel? No, we cannot let a convicted murderer into this hospital
02:50He is a PR nightmare
02:53The prison won't release him until you sign off. Please do not sign off
02:59Now I'll make the call. Theater six. Well played Warner
03:07What? You're getting a million dollars
03:09Okay
03:18Director of nursing? That is me
03:22I'm the courier now. Uh, nah, there was a backlog at the desk. So I decided to help out get back into my next good books
03:29That's the way
03:31Hey
03:33Yeah
03:34That doesn't matter. No, what is it?
03:39Um
03:41You know Griff? Mm-hmm. He he asked me out on a real date. Oh
03:49Wow, good grip. When?
03:52Um tonight. Is that bad? I'm sorry, honey. I'm working late, but maybe another time. I can babysit
04:00It's a bit late notice. Don't you have stuff to do? No, mom just wants to have a movie night and
04:05Pedicures, so I would rather the babysit. Thank you Cassie. Are you sure?
04:10100%
04:12What should I wear? Dress? Jeans? What? Anything. You'll look perfect
04:22It's so good to see her smiling again. Totally
04:25I
04:32Need you
04:34Can't wait, I'm gonna go see Phil. About that she doesn't want to see you
04:40She said that
04:42Yeah, maybe she needs time
04:44Anyway, Chris is on a mission to save the world and who am I will stand in his way
04:49I
04:52Need you to be my spy. Assist to make sure Chris stays on track
04:58Are you okay to work?
05:00Of course. Thank you
05:19Okay, Missy up you get. I didn't chuck that damn penis straw at her. You're still here. Thought you would have gone home by now
05:26Oh, well equal parts busy ED and home avoidance
05:31Home avoidance Phil. No, it's nothing. You know you can tell me
05:35Molly basically told me he liked it better when I was gone and then Drew just sat there and said nothing. Ouch
05:40And apparently I smother my kids and ice cream and brownies are more important. I'm still coming to the wedding
05:45I'm the maid of honor. Okay, missy. Just settle down. Eh, okay, you're doing really well Jared. Just one more stitch
05:52I'm just trying to be a good mom, you know, well kids mean am I smothering? Can you be honest?
05:58Yeah, not sure I can judge. Oh, what's going on?
06:03Casey's not even a kid anymore. So it's not really an issue. Is it?
06:08Hey missy, I need you to stay still for just a few more minutes so I can get this gravel out
06:12Okay, all right, we're all done I'm gonna prescribe you some ointment now you just sit tight and we'll wait for the scan results to
06:17Come back, okay
06:20So what's going on with Casey?
06:22Well, giving her the freedom. Empowering her to make her own decisions. Even when you don't like them
06:30Okay, well that is hen's night officially over. Oh recess. Thanks
06:43I know you don't want to see me. I just want to know you're okay. Who told you?
06:48Who told me what?
06:52Right
06:56You'll be pleased to know that I lost the baby
07:00What? Yeah
07:06Babe
07:08Babe. No, don't hug me. Don't touch me. Okay, it was here for a minute and now it's gone
07:15I'm so sorry. Please just give me some space
07:21Don't you think we should talk about this? We've talked. I never should have yelled at you like that and then you'll fall
07:29Now this?
07:32This?
07:33Is it now I've lost my baby? Our baby?
07:36Oh, it's not like that. I wanted to apologize. I didn't hear an apology. You didn't give me a chance. Just get out!
07:43Babe. Just get out!
07:58Do you need a hug?
08:04Can I say something?
08:06Yeah, I think that's enough
08:10Enough of what?
08:12the toxic stuff
08:15Look
08:16Sometimes people make each other miserable and they don't realize until the damage is done. The damage? Yeah
08:24The hurt, the exhaustion. Phil, I was once in a really toxic relationship
08:32And it took so much out of me that it was like years before I felt like myself again
08:38And I don't want that to happen to you. We're not toxic. Okay, we're just we're going through a rough patch
08:44I'm just as bad as he is
08:48Just I
08:50Don't think it's normal and I really don't think it's healthy to be in a constant fight with each other
08:57If it doesn't get better you really need to think what is best for you
09:09Pain out of ten? Yeah, nah, it's ten. I've seen enough
09:26So what number will it be when I've recovered and everything?
09:30We don't do promises. Zero. Bring it on
09:34How can I thank you doc?
09:36What can I do? You tell me. Don't thank him just yet. Your operation could be cancelled for any reason
09:43Yeah, I know. Accidents are more important. I might get bumped.
09:47Accidents, children with cancer, innocent victims of gang violence. You won't be bumped
09:53Nil by mouth means no food. Oh no. Then why did you ask for a dinner tray? I didn't. It's not what I heard
10:00Whatever. Sleep now. Hold on. Nurse Selina might want to give me some more advice
10:07I asked you to assist. My schedule's too tight. Well can't you tap to your mate? He was
10:13What? He's in the past
10:15You're the one who advocated for the surgery in the first place. I know
10:19So if something happened, is there another crime that I don't know about? No, nothing like that. Well, this has already appeared
10:25I need you to be straight up with me. Okay
10:29It was the miscarriage
10:32It hit me harder than I thought it would
10:34You told me you could work. I know, I'm sorry. No, it's my fault. I should have known better
10:41Take some time and look after yourself. Yeah
10:46Yeah, I will
10:48Good
10:50Sorry, Jared. You're not being discharged yet. It's my birthday. Legal now. No, your party finished hours ago, buddy
10:58You sound like my mother. Really? Sensible?
11:03boring
11:04trolling
11:06smothering. Hey
11:07It's okay. He said a knock to his head. He doesn't know what he's talking about. This game came back clear
11:11He does know what he's talking about. Freedom! Are you sure? Yeah, he's just drunk
11:16Well, actually, that's a second bag of fluids. Really?
11:20Party never stops, ladies. No, not in here. Hand that over. Hand it over!
11:26Great catch. Gotta go. Nurses are after me. No, no, hey, no, you're not going anywhere
11:33Naturally. Gotta go. Hey, okay, can you hold him down and I'll take that back in?
11:41Ambulance officer and doctor?
11:47A
11:50Lawyer? Lawyer. Or maybe a judge?
11:57Well, judges can party. Um, I better check on Knox
12:07Well, don't you want to check on Charlie?
12:16Okay
12:22Sure. What? Selfie?
12:31You just missed a wonderful movie. The favorite.
12:36The lead reminded me of your mother. Oh, funny you should mention her. She just...
12:42Wow
12:45Sorry, she just, um, texted me. Oh, babe, that's great. Yeah. Yeah, she's not icing me out anymore. Oh good
12:52That means she actually listened to me. What do you mean? Well, I sent her a message asking her not to
12:58Throw away the best thing that's ever happened to her
13:02Leanne? I've brought enough chaos into this home and I wanted to try and fix things
13:08You are like the daughter I never had, Maeve. Thanks. I appreciate that. Hmm
13:14Especially after the shift I've had. Tough day. Yes, E.D. got a bit messy. Can you smell vomit?
13:19No. Vomit? Yeah, just a whiff. Why don't you grab one of those towels and sit down, sit down on the couch?
13:25No, it's okay. I think I'm gonna shower first. But, um, is Cassie home? No, still out raging it up.
13:33Well, it's a bit late
13:35Is it?
13:36Is Granny Melon's worried? No, just asking.
13:41Is it the alcohol? Don't start. Well, is everyone okay about young Cassie going to a bar? A dive?
13:48By the looks of it. What bar? Molly's. Has she just sent photos through? Haven't you seen them?
13:53Place needs a good spray and wipe. I mean, honestly, I thought Griff would take her somewhere romantic
13:58Like movies and then dessert
14:02We go to Molly's all the time. Oh, well
14:05Anyway, I like Griff. I'll give him a pass on the choice of venue
14:11Oh
14:13Hold on darling. Nana Lily's coming darling
14:18Don't listen to her. Just look at those smiles. Yeah, they're really cute together
14:24Bedtime?
14:26Actually, I think I might hang out. Maybe watch that movie. You are worried. Just call her.
14:32No, Nick. I am not Granny Melon's. Never will be
14:40Just a bit curious, how did you get prison services to release him for the op?
14:47Well, Kane reckons it's because of his good behavior
14:53Anyway, I have your personalized surgical layout ready to go
14:57Would you like to see your orthopedic instrument tray layout? I can change anything you want. Okay, cool
15:02I'll take that as a vote of confidence. Hey, good night to you too, Dr. Warner
15:10Hey, can I help you?
15:13Sorry, but visiting hours are over
15:15um
15:17My boyfriend. Is he in surgery? Give me a name and I'll see what's going on. He died.
15:23I am so sorry. Please come take a seat.
15:28I can get someone to come and help you. What was your name? Um, Jackie. Jackie. Okay. Well, don't move and I'll be right back
15:41Yeah, hey, it's Selina up in surgical. Do you have any counsellors or whānau support who could come up?
15:48Yeah, we've got a grieving partner who has just disappeared on me. Yeah. Okay. Yeah, I'll ring you back.
16:00Jackie!
16:04She's looking on red. Oh dear.
16:07Do you think they're still at the bar or?
16:10I don't know, just call her, but be nice.
16:15Hope you're going good, just checking in.
16:18No, I think I'm gonna text her again.
16:21Yep, I'm gonna say
16:26I hope you and Griff
16:32are having a good night.
16:35Are having a good time.
16:39Inclusive, nice work.
16:41Because I really, I really, I do like him.
16:43Yeah, and a little child like you.
16:45Yeah, so cute.
16:49Cassie?
16:52She wants to stay out tonight.
16:54What, all night?
16:55Yeah.
16:57Ooh la la!
17:00Are we okay with that?
17:02Why wouldn't we be?
17:03Well, because, you know, she's, she's got a baby to look after.
17:08She's got two doting grandmothers and one doting nana, Lele.
17:15I don't think she's rushing into things.
17:16Mum, what were you doing at that age?
17:19She's young, alright?
17:21She needs to live her life and we need to let her do that.
17:26She's communicating, so she's not high.
17:30Okay.
17:31We like Griff, right?
17:33Yeah, of course.
17:34Nothing wrong with him.
17:35It's texting.
17:38What would I say?
17:40Go for it.
17:43Okay.
17:46Yeah.
17:48Go for it.
17:50Cassie?
18:02Hi.
18:07For you.
18:13It's okay, you can cry.
18:21What are you doing?
18:23I've been discharged.
18:27Why don't you call me? I can, I can take you home.
18:31I don't know where to go, so I've just been sitting here.
18:40Oh, babe.
18:46The house hasn't been the same without you.
18:49Neither have I.
18:52Really?
18:54I've just been walking around the house, getting to the fridge, opening it, closing it.
19:03Reading your feelings.
19:06As if there was any fruit in the house.
19:13I'm so sorry.
19:16Me too.
19:19And I think you are.
19:29Thanks for putting up with my crap.
19:31Hey, Jared, you don't need to do this.
19:33I'm real sorry.
19:35You're 18 years old.
19:36Now, don't let booze ruin your life, and listen to your mother, because she loves you.
19:40Take care, eh?
19:42What did you do?
19:44Put up with his crap. It was his 18th birthday last night.
19:47Drunk and disorderly?
19:48And obnoxious.
19:49Really? He looks like a little puppy.
19:51Alcohol will do that to you. That is why I'm here early.
19:54Huh?
19:55Get some admin done. Someone else can wrangle the drunks tonight.
19:58Please, help yourself.
20:00No, it's too early for me. I have nutritional standards.
20:02However, you deserve one because you are valued and appreciated for what you do for the community.
20:08Yeah.
20:09This one for Walter right there?
20:10Oh, yeah.
20:13Can you do op for Mallory Rogers?
20:14Sure.
20:17MVA restrained passenger, GCS of 14.
20:19It looks like a wrist fracture, and he's complaining a lot because he's intoxicated.
20:23Oi! Down! Down!
20:26Okay, settle down.
20:27Come on! Come on!
20:29Sage!
20:30Let's go, let's go. Coming through.
20:32Nate, the anesthetist wants to run through checks again, but he'll do that on the other side.
20:36Okay.
20:37Stop!
20:38Jackie, you're still here.
20:39Take him back to prison!
20:40You've got to be kidding me.
20:41Call security.
20:42You don't deserve to be fixed. You deserve to suffer!
20:44Okay, just take a breath, hon.
20:46Get your hands off me!
20:47Take the patient through the pre-op.
20:48Someone look after her?
20:49I hope you die on the table, Kane bloody Tapsel!
20:52I hope they make a mistake and they kill you!
20:54You need to leave!
20:55You know what he is, so why are you helping him?
20:58Jackie, you have to calm down, otherwise you're going to get chucked out.
21:01Don't operate on him!
21:03How can you sleep at night?
21:04Don't you have a conscience?
21:05Do you know what he did?
21:07Security!
21:08My boyfriend was a good man!
21:09He didn't hurt anyone!
21:10And you don't even care!
21:13You're a monster!
21:16I'm sorry.
21:22Can you call security?
21:23I already have.
21:24Where the hell are they?
21:25I don't know.
21:26Okay, de-escalation 101.
21:27Mr Bradford, hi.
21:28Look, I understand completely what you're going through.
21:30You feel really let down by your friend, don't you?
21:32Yeah.
21:33Yeah, you would never have gotten that car if you didn't think he was fit to drive.
21:36That's right.
21:37That's right, so your anger and frustration is completely valid.
21:40Jimmy!
21:41Get stuck!
21:42Back in your beds, both of you!
21:43Okay, Sage, stay calm.
21:45He's scared.
21:46Back in your beds.
21:47You said you're fit to drive!
21:48I'll have a cry!
21:49Hey, hey, hey!
21:50We're going to get you your own room.
21:51Yeah, room three.
21:52It's like a hotel!
21:53Okay, let's go.
21:54You're over the limit!
21:55What can I do?
21:56You were supposed to be the sober driver, you dickhead!
21:57Look at you!
21:58You're still pissed!
21:59Stop it!
22:00I have had enough!
22:01Get security.
22:02Can you call the police?
22:03Get up!
22:04Come on!
22:05Get up!
22:06Fuck you!
22:07Get up!
22:13Blood pressure is 126 over 72.
22:20How'd you find out that Cain was here?
22:22Drill, please.
22:25And now I am questioning myself and why I am in here helping a killer.
22:33I know, I know.
22:35His injuries were deliberately left untreated,
22:38which would have caused a terrible amount of pain to the patient.
22:42But he is not a patient to Jackie.
22:44He is the murderer that ruined her life.
22:46Damn.
22:47What's happened?
22:49I'm too close to the sciatic nerve.
22:52Just take a pause.
22:54If I hit the nerve, he'll end up worse than when I started.
22:59You're not going to hit it?
23:00Loss of reflexes, mobility, the rest of his life in a wheelchair.
23:05Chris, I know what you're thinking.
23:07I mean, it's what you all want, isn't it?
23:09You cannot have a meltdown, not now.
23:11And I'm the monster for helping him.
23:13I'm the monster!
23:30You
