00:00Previously on Shortland Street.
00:02I am disestablishing the role of medical director.
00:04You're demoting me.
00:05I'd say it's more helping you refocus.
00:08Cindy, call for help.
00:10No, this is not MDMA.
00:11This is one of those dodgy cathinones.
00:12What the hell did you put in those drugs?
00:14Hey, you better back off.
00:15Hey, you better back off.
00:17What the hell is that?
00:23You didn't have to go with Sons of Anarchy on him and break his breast.
00:26Where did that even come from?
00:28I know you're strong, but that was some special up, jujitsu, street fighter type stuff.
00:32You're exaggerating.
00:33You're going to get in serious trouble.
00:35He's not going to say anything.
00:36What do you mean?
00:38We've come to an agreement.
00:39You again?
00:40I only just discharged you.
00:41Found him out front.
00:42He slipped and hurt his wrist.
00:45Bad luck, eh?
00:46Something like that.
00:49I should be more careful.
00:51Okay, well, let's get you sorted with an x-ray.
00:56You really scared me out there.
00:58Your eyes went all black.
00:59He was mouthing off, getting in your face.
01:01I just reacted.
01:03I didn't like the way he was talking to you.
01:04So, you did it to protect me?
01:07Of course.
01:08I didn't think.
01:09I just didn't want you to get hurt.
01:11Jeez.
01:11No one's ever done the one-hands for me before.
01:14Yeah, I got you.
01:15I got you too.
01:17We're in this together, eh?
01:18Just keep it between us vibes.
01:20Yeah, absolutely.
01:25Oh, if you're here to rip into me again, don't bother.
01:29Look, I know I should have been here earlier.
01:32I thought I could trust you to run ED.
01:35Wow.
01:36Okay.
01:37I need to be able to trust you if I'm not there.
01:40Do you want to talk about trust?
01:43You were the last man I thought she'd be with my mum.
01:47But she was happy.
01:49So, I gave you a chance.
01:51I finally trusted you with her.
01:54And now look, you broke her heart.
01:57That's not it.
01:59So what happened, Emma?
02:02Cold feet?
02:03Or just part of your usual pattern?
02:06You even pushed your own daughter away.
02:08You're an emotional dead end.
02:09Last thing I ever wanted to do was hurt your mother.
02:12But you did.
02:13Yeah.
02:13Well, regardless of all that, I need you to be able to step up and run ED.
02:18Yeah, well, if it means I'm going to turn into you, no thanks.
02:26I steered this hospital through the virus, the lockdown.
02:29I put long-term initiatives in place to help us cope with future pandemics.
02:33And now she's just pushing me out.
02:34Well, I don't think that's the reason why she's demoting you.
02:38She just seems like she likes things her way.
02:40Yeah, her way or the highway.
02:41Well, you know, you wouldn't have to go through all this crap if we just moved to Samoa.
02:47Samoa?
02:47Yeah, fresh start.
02:48No more stressful hospital politics.
02:51Fun, sunshine.
02:52Maybe even some sex on the beach.
02:55Mmm.
02:55A cocktail?
02:57Both, if you play your cards right.
02:59Well, that is tempting.
03:01Especially given the alternative is being micromanaged by my ex-wife.
03:04Yeah, well, we can stop talking about Rachel and Samoa too.
03:11Chris, urgent surgical consult in ED.
03:13This Fernvan festival is a disaster.
03:15And the press are here now too, waiting for an official statement.
03:17Well, that's Rachel's job.
03:18Yeah, but you're the medical director.
03:19No.
03:20Okay, I got it.
03:23Those two still at it then?
03:25Something like that.
03:30Poppy, you need anything?
03:32We're under control.
03:33Good, good.
03:34Why do you need me?
03:35We've got more crash victims in the waiting room need seeing too.
03:38You okay?
03:38I'm fine.
03:40Hey, I thought you could use a hand down here.
03:41Poppy, not me.
03:43Oh, cubicle four.
03:46Big laceration, we can't sedate because we don't know what he's on.
03:48And we're still waiting on CT to rule out a head injury.
03:51I'll do a local.
03:51You know, it's nice to get a chance to work down here with you.
03:55I'll get some sutures.
03:57You left me.
03:58I was crying, bleeding alone.
04:00I went to the meeting spot.
04:01The cuttle puddle zone near the techno teepee.
04:03Okay, just calm down, okay?
04:05We're going to look after you.
04:06She's triage three.
04:08Stable obs, alert, fine to transfer to the R.
04:11I'm not leaving her.
04:12We're a unit.
04:12It doesn't sound like QR.
04:13Exactly.
04:14I got hit by the pyrotechnics.
04:16I thought I was going to explode.
04:17I was crying in the portal, Luz.
04:18I thought you were dead.
04:19You can stay as long as you keep out of the way.
04:21I'll be so quiet.
04:22You reckon?
04:25Maybe a bit more warmth?
04:26Wouldn't hurt.
04:28The patients, I mean.
04:36Is that the article?
04:37No mention of me at all.
04:39Not even the quote that Libby forced out of you?
04:41She thanks the health department for funding the ARC after they screwed us over the virus.
04:46All my work to keep us afloat has been erased like it means nothing.
04:51Yes.
04:52It must be so hard being a famous old rich guy.
04:57Oh, good.
04:58Here's another one.
04:59That's a great article.
05:00It's timely.
05:01It's measured.
05:01It's exactly what we need out there right now.
05:03It turned out better than I thought it was.
05:05Chris, aren't we lucky to have Rachel back with us?
05:07Aren't we?
05:08I'm sorry it's taken so long to catch up recently, but I've been keeping a close eye on your virus
05:14protocols.
05:14Excellent stuff.
05:15I appreciate that.
05:16Hey, let's grab a drink and I can run you through everything that's been happening.
05:19Yeah, I'd love that.
05:20Fire off a time and I'll book you in.
05:21David, I'm eating.
05:22Right, right.
05:24CEO's come first.
05:27So you think going behind Rachel's back with Kearney is going to reverse her decision?
05:31I don't know.
05:32Probably can't do anything.
05:34Well, you've got better things on the way, right?
05:37Yeah.
05:38As you do.
05:42You've had a lucky escape.
05:44No broken bones from the crush.
05:46Marianne.
05:47Have something else for me?
05:48Not right now.
05:49You got a sec?
05:50Barely.
05:51What is it?
05:52Can we take five outside?
05:54No.
05:55Okay.
05:57All right, look, I just wanted to say I'm sorry for the way things ended.
06:03I never meant to hurt you.
06:05Sure.
06:05I mean it.
06:07You didn't just hurt me.
06:08I know.
06:09You gave up on us.
06:12Yeah.
06:13I just, I didn't think that we would work together as a couple.
06:17And look, I know I've messed everything up big time.
06:19I know that and I get that it's over.
06:22Wow.
06:23So that's it.
06:25No fight.
06:25No conversation.
06:26Just straight to, it's over.
06:29Well, I thought that's what you'd want.
06:30Jesus, Emmett.
06:32What?
06:32I don't know what you're thinking.
06:33I never do.
06:35There's always some kind of game going on.
06:37As soon as soon as it's all on me.
06:38No.
06:39God, that's lazy.
06:41Even for you.
06:45They're still here.
06:46The colours, they won't stop folding over each other.
06:50The walls are breathing, I swear.
06:52Paz, you're safe now, okay?
06:54You're in hospital.
06:55You've had a reaction to something.
06:57You've taken LSD, right?
06:59And it's going to pass.
07:00Can't you hear me?
07:01Time is folding.
07:02The universe is dying.
07:04Not yet.
07:04I have an idea.
07:07What are you up to?
07:08Could you give me another blanket?
07:10Yeah.
07:12Paz, the room doesn't feel quite right, does it?
07:14I'm going to try and build you a new one.
07:17I just want the world to stop so I can get off.
07:20I understand.
07:22Are you making a tent?
07:24A fort.
07:25Well, trying to.
07:26I've never actually done this before.
07:29Thanks.
07:35Colours can't get in here.
07:36How do you know?
07:39Well, it's quiet.
07:40No noise.
07:41So maybe that means no colours.
07:44But you'll have to tell me because you're the only one who can see them.
07:46You know about the noise.
07:48Of course.
07:58I don't know.
07:59Just give it a minute.
08:01It's still loud.
08:03It's okay.
08:06Just close your eyes.
08:08Picture your thoughts are like, like a train.
08:12You don't have to get on.
08:14You can just sit at the platform and watch your thoughts go by.
08:18There's one shape like a duck.
08:22That's probably important.
08:30Okay.
08:31That was actually amazing.
08:34Try not to sound too surprised.
08:41He's a liability rate.
08:43We weaseled out of the Harry fiasco.
08:45You know, every time disaster hits this place,
08:46he tries to end up with a halo and a headline.
08:49You mean the way he handled the HBI V5 lockdown?
08:51Oh, don't get me started.
08:52He thinks he's actually Bloomfield now.
08:54He's always had a bit of a hero complex.
08:57We are going to be opening this clinic in just a few short months.
09:00Why does that matter?
09:02Just do what I brought you here to do.
09:04Okay?
09:05Get rid of it.
09:07I knew it.
09:08Oh.
09:11Libby?
09:12I can see you.
09:15Oh, I'm telling Chris.
09:16I am so telling Chris.
09:26Don't do this, Libby.
09:27Do what?
09:28Tell Chris that you're trying to take him down and why the hell shouldn't I?
09:31Give me back my shoes.
09:32I think you might have misheard.
09:34Oh, I heard everything, Rachel.
09:36The acoustics are very good out there.
09:38Stop trying to hold my kitten shoes as ransom.
09:40If I don't get him to step aside quietly, David will destroy him.
09:44Don't think he won't do it.
09:46That is why I'm here.
09:47That's what I'm doing.
09:48Wait.
09:51You're telling me that you're doing all of this sneaky stuff for Chris?
09:56Your ex?
09:57Huh.
09:58You're still into him, aren't you?
09:59I'm helping him get out with his reputation intact.
10:02That's it.
10:03And I'm supposed to what?
10:04Just keep your dirty little secret?
10:06Pretend like nothing's going on?
10:07I'm asking you to see the bigger picture.
10:09I can see it, and it's ugly.
10:11It's not ideal.
10:12But can I trust you?
10:14Okay, fine.
10:18Feels like we're partners now.
10:20But weirdly, not financially.
10:22Are you trying to all this sort of raise out of me?
10:24I mean.
10:26Are we on the same page?
10:28I guess.
10:33Rose, everything all right?
10:35Yeah, I just, um, I don't trust you.
10:38What?
10:38Rachel, why?
10:39Nothing I can't handle.
10:41Don't you worry.
10:45You left me.
10:46I was lying in the mud, spitting out, and you just disappeared.
10:49I didn't leave you.
10:50I went to the meeting spot, exactly where we sit, and you weren't there.
10:54I thought you ditched me.
10:56I get it.
10:56You were scared.
10:57You thought they'd be there, but they weren't.
11:00Yeah, but you did the right thing.
11:02You waited where you were supposed to.
11:03It doesn't mean that you didn't care.
11:05Well, sometimes the right thing still hurts people.
11:07And sometimes when you're feeling hurt, it's because you didn't get exactly what you expected.
11:11Well, then that'll be on you for expecting something in the first place.
11:13I thought I was gonna die.
11:15Then you weren't even looking for me.
11:16But I was looking for you.
11:18I stayed at the cuddle pile for two hours and missed the headliner.
11:21Communication goes a long way, doll.
11:23You should try it.
11:25I have.
11:25It's not my fault.
11:26You're not listening.
11:27Okay.
11:27That's enough.
11:29Sorry about these two.
11:30I think their problem is they need to find a cuddle puddle of their own.
11:35Hey.
11:37How's Pez?
11:38Much better.
11:39Coming down.
11:40Thanks to you.
11:41Now you helped.
11:42Barely.
11:43Can you come over after work?
11:46Why?
11:48Please.
11:49Just come.
11:50I'll see.
11:51It's been a day.
11:53Yeah.
11:58Everything okay?
12:00You're fine.
12:01Okay.
12:02That puff piece on Rachel.
12:04Shameless self-promotion.
12:05Good publicity for the hospital, I guess.
12:08A little heavy on the Photoshop, if you ask me.
12:10I'm saying nothing.
12:11I'm saying nothing.
12:12About?
12:13Nothing.
12:15No one.
12:15Nothing.
12:16Nothing.
12:16I...
12:16Oh.
12:17You've got to...
12:18Excuse me.
12:19Oh.
12:21Thanks.
12:23Toodles, Chris.
12:24Take care.
12:26Mr. Arne's responding well to the latest round of antibiotics, but I'm just worried about
12:30Gina.
12:30BP's not settling down.
12:32I'll take a look soon.
12:33Hey, I hope you're not thinking about intercepting Kearney on his way to his car.
12:36No, I'm thinking about some more.
12:38Are you being serious?
12:39I think so.
12:40Really?
12:41Really.
12:41Let's book some flights.
12:43Scope it out.
12:44Yeah.
12:44Yeah.
12:44Yeah.
12:45Yeah.
12:45Yeah.
12:45Yeah.
12:53What?
12:54You really were kind of amazing before.
12:56How you handled that guy.
12:58I mean, most people would have just backed off.
13:01Look, I don't want you to get the wrong idea about me.
13:03What do you mean?
13:05Breaking that dude's wrist, that's not who I am.
13:08But it is who you are.
13:09You step up when it really counts.
13:14I, um...
13:15I know today has been rough as, even without that whole drug dealer thing.
13:20Maybe after work we could go to Lola's and get a drink.
13:27I know it's fancy ass, but it's my shout, as a proper thanks.
13:32I think I may still owe you one, after the whole defib search.
13:36Sweet.
13:36Well, yeah, we'll call it even, and I'll, um, meet you there.
13:41Yeah, cool.
13:43I'm sorry.
13:46I'm sorry.
13:51I'm sorry.
13:53Te leia.
13:55Pass me for it.
13:57Okay, so the hospital and Apea are super stoked.
14:00Honestly, it's kind of like Elton John just agreed to join the surgical team.
14:04You're already failing our jobs.
14:06Didn't you just come up with this whole moving to Samor thing?
14:08Don't be negative.
14:09I'm not.
14:10Just seems kind of weird that Chris is all in.
14:12Haven't you guys been kind of iffy lately?
14:14No, we're fine.
14:15And he wants to do this for us and I do too.
14:17So the Rachel thing has nothing to do with it?
14:19We're leaving that all behind us.
14:20Oh, so that's why you want to leave so bad.
14:22No, we're just, we're both ready for something new.
14:25I mean, look at Dawn and Logan.
14:27They're trying to make it work somewhere else.
14:28Why can't that be me and Chris?
14:31No, it could be good for us.
14:32You are nothing like those two.
14:34Oh, that's so sweet that you're trying to tempt me to stay.
14:38Trap breathing in your toxic protein farts, I get it?
14:41But the Apea in Samor is clean, untainted.
14:44Oh, I'm happy as long as you are.
14:45Good.
14:53You okay?
14:55Yeah, super.
14:57And Marianne?
14:58Yeah, she's made it pretty clear she doesn't want to borrow me.
15:01Well, sometimes people push you away when they're upset, but it doesn't mean that you give up.
15:05Oh my God, you sound just like her.
15:07What, she said that?
15:10You idiot.
15:11Yeah.
15:11Hey, hey.
15:12Do you know anything about women?
15:15Well, I can't take back everything I said, can I?
15:17Not with that attitude.
15:19What, you want me to roll through here and pull a frickin' floppy Hugh Grant act, do you?
15:23Oh, please come back to me song and dance?
15:26You actually should probably love that.
15:29I mean, I was a prize arsehole.
15:31Yeah, well, I know what we're working with.
15:36Nah, I'd probably muck it all up.
15:38You won't.
15:41Don't let her slip away because, you know, things got too hard.
15:44If you're brave in love, then there's nothing you can't come back from.
15:51Noted.
15:54Thanks for coming by.
15:55Yeah, I'm here.
15:57What's going on?
15:58Just come in.
16:08Seriously?
16:11You built me a fort.
16:12Yeah, well, I figured I'd wait for a pass.
16:15I thought it might make you feel better, too.
16:19Sorry, this is so stupid.
16:21Can I get in?
16:23Yeah, yeah, of course.
16:31Are you just gonna stand there, or...?
16:34Right, yeah, sorry.
16:40So, is this an apology fort?
16:43A sorry tent?
16:44Excuse me.
16:47Look, I know I've been kind of distant.
16:51And distracted.
16:53But I was having a good time.
16:57Until I let my brain get out of the way.
17:00I was just glad to miss out on the acai bowls.
17:03They looked pretty delicious.
17:05You can have one tomorrow.
17:08Oh.
17:08So that's the real reason you asked me around?
17:11No, no.
17:13Truth always comes out.
17:14No, no, I'm sorry.
17:15That was presumptuous of me.
17:16I don't even know why.
17:17It's okay.
17:18I don't mind.
17:21I just...
17:25I just miss talking to you.
17:27I miss it, too.
17:33I missed up.
17:34Yeah, I missed up big time.
17:37I know, I know.
17:39If you report to me, I'll be found out.
17:45Bad day?
17:48Something like that.
17:50I had an altercation with a patient earlier.
17:52He had some fairly colorful things to say about my bedside manner.
17:55And I may have bitten back.
17:57So, solidarity.
17:59Really?
18:00And I'm one of the notable few whose bite is even worse than their bark.
18:05A bit.
18:11Everything okay?
18:13Some staff is catching up with me.
18:17Well, that's why God invented sugar.
18:26Thanks.
18:30You're a strange bird, you know that?
18:31Takes one to know one.
18:55Oh, all good.
18:56He's just running a little late.
19:03You can play it.
19:04Just keep it down, yeah?
19:09Hey.
19:13Look, I want to give this thing with us a go, and I think you do, too.
19:17Wow.
19:18Coming in hot?
19:19I'm sorry about what Poppy said.
19:20At first, I wasn't sure about dating someone from work.
19:23But then I realized, you know, I don't actually really care about that.
19:27I don't know.
19:30Come on.
19:31I just don't know if you're a good match.
19:34I mean, you did kind of embarrass me, and I'm not big on that.
19:43What are you doing?
19:45Oh, I'm sorry.
19:45I'm turning it up.
19:48Is this embarrassing?
19:49Oh, my God.
19:51Please stop.
19:52No, I'm going to keep embarrassing myself until you admit it.
19:56Admit what?
19:57That you want me and that you're dying to take me out?
20:02You're such an idiot.
20:05Fine.
20:06Fine, fine.
20:06I'm dying for you to stop.
20:08And?
20:11And I...
20:12Come on, Cody.
20:13I want you to go out with me.
20:15One more time.
20:16I want you to go out with me.
20:22I really want you to go out with me.
20:32I was wondering when you'd turn up to have a go at me.
20:35Say what you need to, but you're not going to change my mind.
20:38I know.
20:39I won't waste your time or mine.
20:41Okay.
20:42So why are you here?
20:43I'm resigning.
20:46A bluff?
20:47I might move to Samoa with Selina.
20:50Mum, you should.
20:52Really?
20:53Well, after everything you've been through, Chris,
20:56you deserve to slow down, enjoy your life.
21:01You've done a lot of great stuff here, Chris,
21:03but you're not really in the game anymore, are you?
21:06What are you not telling me?
21:08Can't I look out for you?
21:10When have you ever looked out for me?
21:12Believe what you want.
21:13I'm trying to respect your decision,
21:15and I don't want us to part on bad terms again.
21:19Well, that's bullshit.
21:20I know you,
21:21and I know there's something you're not telling me.
21:23You're being paranoid.
21:24You demote me.
21:25You want me to walk out of here with nothing.
21:27No, not nothing.
21:28I'm happy to negotiate the terms.
21:30Okay, you know what?
21:33I'm staying.
21:35So,
21:36were you lying about Samoa,
21:38or are you deceiving Selina right now, too?
21:40You just worry about yourself, Rachel.
21:42I'll be back here tomorrow,
21:44reinstated as medical director,
21:46or, um,
21:47I'll take her to the board.
21:49Good night, Chris.
21:51It's not over.
21:53Oh.
21:55Damn it.
21:57Well, Selina, hey,
21:58have you seen Mariana knew it?
21:59Yeah, I saw her go into the uncle room earlier.
22:14Mariana.
22:15Okay, please.
22:17Can you please just hear me out?
22:18I need to say this.
22:19You can throw it back in my face after I've finished,
22:21but I'm not going to walk away
22:23without putting it all on the table.
22:25Emmett, I...
22:26I love you.
22:28You're it.
22:28You're the one for me.
22:30I know I should have said it earlier,
22:31but I was scared.
22:32I'm scared now,
22:33but I want a life with you.
22:34I want us to be able to make the most
22:36of whatever time we have left.
22:37We grow old to get...
22:44I'm really sorry, man.
