FunTranscript
00:00Previously, on Shortland Street...
00:02We evacuated the bleed successfully.
00:03And this stuff is hard, you know, it brings up stuff.
00:05You're there for a minute, that's what matters.
00:06I am so close to getting her out of that relationship.
00:09Let's go!
00:10You don't let her go! I'm sending this to the police!
00:20Pupils are equanimative.
00:22Okay. Any sign of Bonnie?
00:24Ah, she's coming in later.
00:25Oh, good. I thought I might have scared her off.
00:28How did you manage that?
00:29Hello, you.
00:32Dad.
00:33He's doing very well.
00:35Yeah, Grandpa Gigi's a machine.
00:37Oh.
00:40And he's trying to say your name.
00:43What's the prognosis?
00:45Speech? Mobility?
00:46Let's give it a few days.
00:47How long in rehab?
00:49You know, it's too soon to say.
00:52Yeah, right.
00:53But it's a remarkable recovery for a guy's age, I'll give him that.
00:56Yeah, well, he's never had a sick day in his life. He's tough as old boots.
01:02Neurochecks every two hours.
01:03You should go home.
01:08Have a shower.
01:09Well, I doubt he cares what I smell like.
01:11Yeah, well, I do.
01:15I'm happy to wait with him while you take a break.
01:17No, no, no. I've got to be here when he wakes up.
01:19Make a plan to get him out of here.
01:21Okay.
01:22Yeah, I've got to get him home before the next All Blacks game.
01:25He's never missed one in his life.
01:27Not even on my wedding day.
01:39The surgery went well, but it's only the first step.
01:41As soon as you're well enough, we'll start a medicine called Paclitaxel.
01:44That's the chemo we were talking about.
01:46I'm proposing eight cycles once every three weeks.
01:49Six months?
01:50I know it can seem. That's a long time.
01:52We'll let you rest.
01:53But let Selina know if you have any questions.
01:55And I'm happy to come and chat whenever you need to.
02:04Look at you.
02:05What?
02:06They're having feelings and caring about patients.
02:08It's almost like you're a doctor.
02:09What changed?
02:10Can you tell me?
02:11Oh, I think you grew a conscience.
02:13Me?
02:14No.
02:15I'm just the numbers guy, remember?
02:17Mm-hmm.
02:23Dad, listen to this.
02:25Oh, Mom.
02:27You did it again.
02:29Oh, don't make me cry.
02:30I won't be able to see what I'm done.
02:33Pupil reaction?
02:34Equal and reactive.
02:35That's good, right?
02:37Really good.
02:38I'm just going to adjust this, Mr. Whitman.
02:40Yeah, let me do it.
02:42Mm-hmm.
02:47He's going to need this level of care around the clock.
02:50Yeah.
02:50I'll get my place done up.
02:53Done up?
02:54Rants for the wheelchairs, handles everywhere.
02:56Can't have you slipping.
02:58Wait, so he'll live with you?
03:00Yeah.
03:02Yeah, what, am I not good enough?
03:05You'll need to get proper help, though.
03:06I'm a doctor, for crying out loud.
03:09That is true.
03:10You can't do it 24-7.
03:13That is also true.
03:14And even then, you'd have to quit your job.
03:17Don't worry, Bonnie.
03:18I'm not going to drag you into caring for him.
03:22Wow.
03:23You really don't know me at all, do you?
03:25So what do you suggest?
03:25I'll put him into one of those villages.
03:27Oh, don't even go there.
03:29You know what?
03:29When I'm old, you can do what you want with me.
03:31You can throw me into one of those places,
03:32throw away the key for all I care.
03:34But I'm not doing that to him.
03:35He deserves better.
03:36Okay, where are we at with Mrs. Harris's fever?
03:44Her temp is at 37, and she's complaining of a headache.
03:47Okay, I'll get scrubs to keep tabs on that one, wherever she is.
03:51No idea.
03:52If she doesn't hurry it up, she'll miss out on the esophagectomy.
03:55You're scrubbing into that one, right?
03:56I'll be heading in with Rogers soon.
03:58Pancreotectomy.
03:59Oh, poor room.
04:01Hardly.
04:02No, I'm talking about Rogers, not the op.
04:03But anyway, are you keen to hang tonight?
04:06Or are you going to come up with a weak excuse to fold me off like last time?
04:09No, I'm free and keen.
04:11Hey, maybe Logan could come too.
04:13Well, maybe not.
04:14Mate, I think you guys were good.
04:15Anyway, be the prep.
04:19Leave it alone.
04:20He's being stubborn.
04:21That's his thing.
04:22Yeah, but it's not healthy.
04:23Bro, don't run yourself ragged trying to fix everyone else's problems, okay?
04:27That's a deflection tactic.
04:29I'm not.
04:29They're my friends.
04:30Hang on, aren't they your friends, so just let them be there for you right now?
04:34Yep, we'll do.
04:36I was, uh, ten years old.
04:40Saturday footy.
04:41This one time it's passing down with rain and this big bulldog of a four just tackles me
04:46straight into the dirt.
04:48Smelled like a sewer down there.
04:49I had mud in my eye.
04:50It was so slippery I just couldn't get up.
04:53Took me five or six goes.
04:54I don't think I ever saw you laugh so hard, Dad.
04:57It's a cute story.
04:58Not really.
04:59He was pretty mean to Dad.
05:02I saw him.
05:03What do you say?
05:05I saw him.
05:07See?
05:09No, no, no.
05:10We did lose.
05:11He's right.
05:13You don't forget anything, do you, Dad?
05:15We all playing nice now?
05:17Yeah.
05:17Yep.
05:19Can you squeeze my hand for me, John?
05:24I need you to call Chris.
05:25What's happening?
05:26Chris, you need an HDU.
05:29It's still a moment.
05:29What's going on?
05:30His left side, the motor responses have decreased significantly.
05:32BP's increasing.
05:33Come on, Dad.
05:34Come on.
05:34Give him some more libidol.
05:35I'm on it.
05:37Mickey's having another CVA.
05:39And what's that?
05:40A stroke.
05:42Dad, do something.
05:43Yeah, I know it's a lot to rearrange, but I wouldn't be asking if it was unimportant.
05:52Thanks, Dee.
05:53Hey, got time for a break?
05:56Uh, not with all these patient recalls.
05:58I haven't even made a dent on the list.
05:59I'll take this hostage.
06:00Make it easier.
06:01If only.
06:02Well, Julia needs to take the pressure off.
06:04Oh, it's not him.
06:06We're not anymore.
06:06Well, he could properly resource you.
06:08Not just have you running around trying to fix his mistake, apologising to all the women
06:12he's let down.
06:14Yeah, well...
06:15Why don't you get him to start up a clinic?
06:18He's not been a friend after that in a million years.
06:20Okay, well, it's either that or his head of surgery is sidelined for months with additional
06:25patients.
06:27True.
06:28And if there's one thing I know about you, you can be very convincing.
06:32Yeah, this has been helpful, maybe a little bit too helpful.
06:35Well, I will go and guilt him.
06:37Good.
06:38Find me when you've forced him to do the right thing.
06:40Yeah, really?
06:40Okay.
06:45You good?
06:48Not really.
06:49I know I'm in honest posts, right?
06:51Hey, I figured out a way to turn my notifications off, so...
06:53Actually, no.
06:55It's not about her this time, it's about you.
06:57When are you going to stop punishing Logan?
06:59You know Harper wasn't his fault, but not really.
07:01And you know it isn't that black and white.
07:04I do, but putting him down isn't going to do anyone any good, especially you.
07:08Billy, I love you, mate.
07:10But it's not up to you to tell me what's best for me.
07:12I'm sorry, but it's true.
07:14Harper wouldn't want this.
07:19Do you realise how bad that could have gone?
07:21Yeah, well...
07:21I'm not done talking.
07:23Sorry, you go.
07:24You were trying to help, and I get that.
07:26But we have a security team who are trained for dealing with these kinds of situations.
07:29I didn't see them there.
07:30You called them.
07:32Claire, you should have known that.
07:33It's not her fault.
07:34Please, just shut up.
07:36And then I see on Jenny's file that you've ordered an expensive and unnecessary MRI.
07:41I'm sorry.
07:43Why?
07:44To keep her here.
07:46So we could help her get out of her relationship.
07:48Well, lucky it worked out, then.
07:53Are we in trouble?
07:56No.
07:57Okay.
07:58Oh, my God.
07:58Thank God.
07:59You really had me for a minute there.
08:01Guys, there are going to be moments in your career where your personal and professional
08:03lives blur.
08:04And that happens to all of us.
08:05But I want you to learn how to cope with these situations without putting yourselves at
08:09risk.
08:10Control my feelings.
08:11Understood.
08:12Well, thanks for that.
08:20I didn't do that for you.
08:22Okay, I did it for Jenny.
08:24Right.
08:25Cool.
08:26You have a really crap habit of dragging me into your stuff.
08:29I don't mean to.
08:29I don't care.
08:30I'm over it.
08:36BP's coming down.
08:38And he's setting to wake up.
08:41Mr. Widman, can you hear me?
08:43Dad.
08:44Dad?
08:46Dad, are you in pain?
08:54You're all right, old fella.
08:58I'm so worried.
08:59I'm so worried, baby.
09:14What are you all waiting for?
09:17Get him a CT.
09:18Find out what the damage is.
09:23Looks like Esther's making headway with Julian.
09:26How so?
09:26I suggested they put their heads together.
09:28Help some patients who've blown through the cracks.
09:30You think that's a good idea?
09:32Yeah, of course.
09:33Everyone deserves timely care.
09:34Marty, are you dumb?
09:35I'm not talking about the patients.
09:36I'm talking about Esther and Julian.
09:38What do you mean?
09:39I mean, they already have so much in common.
09:42And you must have seen the energy when they're talking surgery together.
09:46You're not threatened by it.
09:48No.
09:48Maybe you are dumb, then.
09:50Because you should be.
09:51Can you think you're being a little bit dramatic, Morn?
09:53Marty, I love a high-key moment.
09:55Oh, my God.
09:56But I'm just having your back.
09:57Okay.
09:58Well, thank you for the show of loyalty.
10:00You don't have to worry.
10:00Okay?
10:01Okay.
10:02Well, I want you.
10:03Hmm?
10:03Oi.
10:09About tonight.
10:11What, are you fobbing me off now?
10:12No.
10:12I've got a sitter for a few hours.
10:14So, if you want to tip Molly's, or, uh, anyway, really, you're cool.
10:17Hey, sweet.
10:17Let's do it.
10:20You too, eh?
10:21Eh?
10:22I mean, that is if you're not busy already.
10:24Ah, yeah, cool.
10:25I'll be there.
10:26All right.
10:30Guess I'll see you tonight, eh?
10:32Guess you will.
10:34Hmm.
10:35Thanks for that.
10:36Yeah, yeah, don't make him mean a little bit.
10:38The HDU nurse wonders if he'd like Mr. Chu to maintain his blood pressure since she
10:43chartered a 10 milligram morphine bolus.
10:45He probably only weighs about 40 kgs.
10:47What, are they too scared to come and find me themselves?
10:49Can you just fix it so I can move on with my life?
10:52There you go.
10:53One milligram increments as long as his systolic is above 90.
10:59Nunga.
11:00What?
11:01Have I got something on my face?
11:02No, no, no.
11:04I should have told you.
11:07Told me what?
11:08Okay, I didn't ask for it, but I just want you to know that, okay?
11:11But when I went back home...
11:12Oh my God, his mum got cancer.
11:14No, just listen.
11:15Who's dying?
11:15Oh my God.
11:17They offered me your title.
11:23Say something.
11:25Please, I know I was...
11:27Mine.
11:27Mine.
11:27Congrats.
11:33Selena.
11:33Selena.
11:41All right, let's get straight to the numbers.
11:44How are our PNN?
11:46Anyone want some chocolate?
11:49She whispered.
11:53Things are easier to share when they're not very good.
11:56But not this.
12:02Like they say, you have to put on your own oxygen mask before you help others.
12:08Hello, chocolate lovers.
12:23He's sleeping now.
12:31He didn't mean what he said.
12:33Forget about it.
12:38Maybe the stroke messed with his mind, like dementia or something.
12:46It's not dementia, Bon.
12:53Dad.
12:56You don't have to do this.
12:58He was mean to you.
12:59I don't like it.
13:02I never did.
13:04Yeah.
13:05Well, you got your own happy memories of them.
13:07You hold on to those.
13:08Don't put on a show for me.
13:09What?
13:10Just be honest.
13:12For once.
13:19I don't know why he's like that.
13:25It's just the way he is.
13:26I'll sort it out when I get him on.
13:33Then I'll help.
13:36With what?
13:37Take care of him.
13:39Out home.
13:40Give you a day off every now and then.
13:46Something's wrong.
13:53What's happening?
13:53Um, his heart is failing.
13:58Well, what are you waiting for?
13:59Get the defib.
14:00We can make him comfortable.
14:01We can't perform life-saving measures.
14:03He's DNA.
14:04I don't understand.
14:06He's dying, honey.
14:12Dad.
14:18Dad.
14:21Dad, I don't want you to go.
14:22I don't want you to go.
14:51Hi.
14:52Jenny's got a place sorted.
15:01She was pretty upset she didn't get to say goodbye to you.
15:07If you care.
15:08Of course I care.
15:09Oh, it speaks.
15:11Not to you.
15:12Fine.
15:14Good.
15:14You're not going to make this easy, are you?
15:20Nope.
15:21You know I'm bad at this.
15:23It doesn't mean you don't get to apologize.
15:26I know.
15:33Let's hear it then.
15:34Oh, congratulations.
15:37You were right about my crap boyfriend.
15:41Yep.
15:42He was pretty good.
15:43It's just so embarrassing.
15:46Everyone thinks I'm some idiot with gnarly low self-esteem for dating him.
15:50Hey.
15:51Hey.
15:52No one thinks that.
15:56God.
15:57I hate him.
15:59Like, I feel...
16:02Like, he kind of broke me.
16:05He's a person.
16:07I just...
16:09I'm figuring it out.
16:12I'm never dating anyone again.
16:13There is no more response.
16:20I...
16:21I am sorry.
16:22For pulling you in all the time.
16:27I'm used to it.
16:30Really?
16:33It's just a bump in the road for us, okay?
16:36I'll go through it.
16:43Tell me you haven't changed your mind about the clinic.
16:49Hmm.
16:49Not at all.
16:51I don't know where I'll find the money from, but that's my problem.
16:54You're right.
16:55It is.
16:56I've been thinking about Laura and about what you said.
17:00And?
17:01My experiment with women's health referrals didn't work how I planned, so I'm retiring.
17:07Try something with a bit more...
17:09Heart?
17:10Something like that.
17:12But I want you to remember that.
17:14You know I will, but why?
17:16In case I need you to return the favour.
17:18I don't owe you anything, Julian.
17:20Not yet.
17:21No.
17:30You're still working.
17:32Sorry, I know you've just been setting up the clinic.
17:35Right.
17:36Similar idea at work then, huh?
17:37It did.
17:38Hmm.
17:39Um, where are the kids?
17:41All sorted.
17:43What?
17:43I locked them in the pantry with a can opener.
17:45They'll be happy for days.
17:48What?
17:49Okay.
17:50Before you bombard me with questions, the kids are with Nas and Mom.
17:54Oh, and the onsen spires open this time, I checked.
17:58We're going to Queenstown.
17:59Keep up.
17:59Hey, Linga.
18:04Do you want to talk?
18:05I want to know why.
18:07You're all going to have to be more specific.
18:09They told me that that was my title.
18:10Yeah, I don't know why they did that.
18:12I'm not, Linga.
18:13I'm not, Linga.
18:14You kept it from me.
18:15Because I knew you'd be upset.
18:17I know how much you wanted this.
18:18And you never wanted this.
18:21I'll turn it down.
18:22Oh my God, this is so typical of you.
18:24So unbelievably selfish.
18:26Oh, come on.
18:26I was all messed up when I was back in Salmore.
18:28I wasn't thinking about how you'd feel.
18:30Exactly.
18:31Because when your life is messed up, you never have to think about anyone else except for
18:35yourself.
18:35It's all about you all the time.
18:37That's not fair.
18:37It's not fair that you would do something that you knew would hurt me just because you're
18:42too sad and desperate to ignore that empty Madonna-shaped hole inside you.
18:48I just thought that there was a line.
18:51That at least you could have come to me about it.
18:53I'm sorry.
18:55I wasn't honest until now.
18:56Gelo, I don't want to hear about it.
19:08Has he moved?
19:11No.
19:14What do you need?
19:17Nothing.
19:18Would you like me to find the hospital, Kamatua?
19:21Have you met my dad?
19:23Not for him.
19:24For you.
19:26No, I'm good.
19:28Okay.
19:28Well, let me know if you need anything.
19:41Just me.
19:41Just me.
19:41I can make the phone calls.
20:01Who's first on your list?
20:04Don't worry about it.
20:05I can pick the funeral home, all that stuff.
20:10I don't want you to.
20:14I'm going too fast.
20:15I'm sorry.
20:16And say what you need to say to Gigi.
20:23That's some Maori stuff, isn't it?
20:26Talking to the dead.
20:28You don't have to.
20:30At least you can't answer back this time.
20:38Would have been better for everyone if you just dropped dead on the footpath.
20:41Would have saved us all a lot of trouble.
20:43Dad.
20:44You said I could say what I like.
20:46Not like this.
20:48It doesn't matter what he said.
20:51You know you can get over it.
20:53Make sure I don't turn out like him.
21:01You don't have to do this.
21:03Be hard.
21:07You care and it's okay.
21:11You're trying to take over, aren't you?
21:13Take over what?
21:15Oh, you want it to be wall to wall,
21:16cut a key away out or whatever.
21:18No.
21:20You know who you hated the Maori stuff?
21:23What, you didn't know that?
21:26Yeah.
21:28He'd be polite to your face

22:47Oh, it keeps me calm,
22:50shine your lights down on me.
22:53Too-wee, too-wee.
