00:00on Sean Street. Why are you here right now bothering me? Okay, I'm glad to see that you
00:03haven't changed a bit. Neither have you. You're still self-centered, ego-driven, disappointingly
00:08mediocre. Okay, okay, I might just leave you to it. Emmett, they found something. A brain tumor.
00:13How long have I got? Between 12 and 18 months. What? No.
00:21We don't have much time to decide how to move forward. Glyoblastoma is a fast-moving...
00:26Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know. We read the panther. And I'm a bloody doctor.
00:28So, the sooner we start, the better. Just do whatever it is you need to do. You know,
00:32shrink it, cut it, blast the business. Sage, can you just...
00:36So, we talking chemo? And radiotherapy. All going well. We'll be able to shrink the
00:40tumor enough, and we'll be looking at surgery, too. Any chance we could go a little more conservative?
00:45I understand it's a lot, but we need to take this course of action. Otherwise, your prognosis
00:49is... Well, I know you said 18 months, but is that
00:51the median or the mean? That's not important.
00:53I disagree. I was top of my year for statistics in high school, and I don't want you filling
00:57him up in this information. Sage, can you just... Thanks.
01:01Emmett, this is not the end. There is still plenty we can do to save you.
01:05Lucky me. I went ahead and I booked you an appointment with the oncologist for this afternoon.
01:10Oh, perfect. I'm coming. Oh, Christ, what are you going to do? Follow
01:13me home as well? Make sure I do the five plus a day? No, not unless you want me to...
01:20I'll be there. He won't.
01:33Oh, morning.
01:34Morning, na. Oh, have I got a surprise for you?
01:36What?
01:37Guess.
01:38It's too early for us. I'm going to get some coffee.
01:40Oh, on it.
01:42Right.
01:47Here you go.
01:49Thanks.
01:52And here you go.
01:55Sorry.
01:56What is this?
01:58Um, it's rent money, obviously.
02:01Is this all of it?
02:03Well, you asked so many questions. I just, I thought you'd be happy. And if that coffee's
02:07so bad, you can just buy a new one.
02:09Okay, rent money is not coffee money, Libby. It goes towards my mortgage. Which is why
02:13I prefer when it's on time, yeah? And not jangly.
02:16You are in a mood.
02:17This barely touches the sides of what you owe me.
02:19A down payment.
02:20A down payment? On rent?
02:22Yeah. I thought you'd be happy.
02:24I will be. I will be when you put the full amount into my bank account.
02:28It's coming.
02:29Libby, you have a full-time job.
02:31Where's all your pay going?
02:33I will get you more by tonight. Will you?
02:35Mm, yeah.
02:37Okay, well, you can, you can have until the end of the week.
02:43What happened after I left you alone with her in the scrub room?
02:45Nothing.
02:46Why were you even in the scrub room?
02:50You are not taking this seriously.
02:52Yes, I am.
02:53This seems like a conversation I shouldn't be a part of.
02:59Salvagnon needs both our full concentration, and here you are getting an ego wars with Phil
03:02Grayson.
03:03Not exactly.
03:04Chris only just signed off on us being here.
03:06Did he just?
03:07After I said no?
03:09He said he'd talk to you.
03:11Well, he didn't.
03:12Well, it's already all been signed off, so.
03:14We honestly didn't mean to go behind your back, and we are so grateful.
03:17Just stop talking.
03:20Take those off.
03:24Oof.
03:25Now we have no fury.
03:26Shut up.
03:30Hey, I know you said you don't want me in there, but I can help manage things if Anahita
03:33tries to make it all about herself.
03:35Not going to happen, Sage.
03:36You can't put up, like, a broken leg against a little brain tumor and expect to...
03:39I don't want you going in there saying any of that crap.
03:41What do you mean?
03:44No, you have to tell Bonnie.
03:45Yeah, I will.
03:46When the time's right.
03:48I've heard this song before.
03:49She's been gearing up for this trip to Canada for ages.
03:52It's all she talks about.
03:53Nothing is more important to...
03:54You are more important.
03:55I won't be the one to ruin it.
03:58You bet.
03:59I'll tell her when she gets back.
04:02You know I don't like this.
04:05Thanks.
04:08Here if you need.
04:16Hey.
04:16Hey.
04:18How are you feeling?
04:19Not too bad.
04:21I'm hungry, though.
04:22Wretched.
04:23And feeling a bit guilty.
04:26Well, I do.
04:28This damn leg fractures, displaces.
04:31It's probably going to need pinning.
04:32I just...
04:33I'm not going to be able to fly any time soon.
04:37Anyone else that can go?
04:38A friend?
04:39No.
04:40No one that can take time off work with such short notice.
04:44Well, we'll figure it out.
04:47Yeah.
04:49Yeah.
04:49So, um...
04:52I know that you're really busy.
04:55But I need someone that Karami is comfortable with and she always has such a great time with you.
04:59You're asking me?
05:01Yeah.
05:02I think you've broken him.
05:04I've never seen him so speechless.
05:07Dad?
05:09I mean, I really wish I could.
05:12Really, Emmett.
05:13What have you got going on that's more important than spending time with your mogul?
05:16It's a timing thing.
05:18No worries.
05:20There's...
05:21There's still a couple of people I haven't asked yet, so...
05:30Are you seeing Drew?
05:32Hard not to.
05:33Yeah, those hats are a choice.
05:35Yep.
05:36You okay?
05:37Are you asking if he's my friend or Drew's wife's?
05:40He'll be fine, as long as he stays away from me.
05:44Hey, it's easier for guys.
05:46That's such a cop-out.
05:48Bro, it's the truth.
05:49When you go on a date, you're scared that she won't like you.
05:51When I go on a date, I'm scared I'm going to be at the bottom of a river.
05:54You?
05:55Scared?
05:55Don't deny my reality.
05:57I'm not denying it.
05:58I'm just questioning it.
05:59Well, obviously I can handle myself, but it doesn't mean I don't have to be on high alert.
06:03Well, sure, but, you know, daily's meant to be fun.
06:06And not every guy's going to be a creep.
06:08There are heaps of nice ones out there.
06:09Like you?
06:10Yeah, like me.
06:11Yeah.
06:12Whatever.
06:12This is about you getting back out there.
06:15Tell her, Maeve.
06:16Tell her what?
06:17That dating's fun.
06:18I won't lie to your sister.
06:20All I'm saying is that you deserve to be taken up by someone who appreciates you.
06:25A few nice chats, good meal, and maybe even a little bit of love.
06:29Love?
06:30Well, that's a strong word, considering what you've been doing.
06:32I'm just having a good time.
06:34Living my life.
06:35You should try it.
06:37I hate to say it.
06:38Yeah, don't tell me he's got a point.
06:40And I won't.
06:43I explicitly said no.
06:45Not maybe.
06:46Not I'll think about it.
06:47But no, you went behind my back.
06:50No, I didn't.
06:51Drew and Boyd told me.
06:53I doubt they used those words.
06:54You are deliberately undermining me, trying to get under my skin.
06:58I should have told you about Sauvignon, it was on my list, but I've been preoccupied, and you've been avoiding
07:03me.
07:03No, I haven't.
07:04But I don't actually need your permission.
07:06Approving clinical trials comes under my jurisdiction as medical...
07:10What if I hear medical director one more time?
07:13What would you like me to call my job?
07:16Okay, fine.
07:18Then they are your responsibility.
07:21If anything goes wrong, it falls on you.
07:24And I don't want a single grape-related inquiry or problem making its way back to me.
07:29Understood.
07:32I've got a meeting.
07:33Close the door behind you.
07:41What happened?
07:43Chris.
07:44Oh, no, it's nothing.
07:46I mean, I've just cut myself in one of Maori's stupid homemade mugs.
07:49He's lucky it wasn't my tongue.
07:51Mmm, it's a fair bit of blood.
07:52It is.
07:53You might need to fill out an incident report.
07:55Oh, you're joking.
07:56Yes, I am.
07:57Oh.
07:59Gosh, you're so funny.
08:00But actually, I think I probably do need to fill one out.
08:03Let me look.
08:08Surely there's something more important that you should be doing?
08:11Oh, I can wait.
08:13Really?
08:14Mm-hmm.
08:16Okay, I think that's nothing a bandage won't fix.
08:20In the meantime, could you hold that?
08:23Okay, that'll do for now, but make sure you replace that with a real one.
08:29Chris, wait.
08:31Did you get that email about the meeting this afternoon?
08:33Yes, I was a bit scant on details.
08:36Um, what's it about?
08:37Who's it with?
08:37Oh, don't you worry.
08:38You're going to be very, very pleased with the outcome.
08:40And like all your favourite meetings, there will be a PowerPoint.
08:44Okay, mysterious.
08:45I'll take your word for it.
08:47Do.
08:53Forward surgical washout for a simple arm laceration.
08:55Yeah, I saw that on this chart.
08:56No prime medical history, usually well and healthy, no signs of infection.
09:00Yeah, you can read.
09:01Funny.
09:03But I actually think he'd be a go for the salvinian trial.
09:06No, keep those grape sacks away from my patient.
09:09You mean the patches or the guys?
09:11Both.
09:13Okay, real talk.
09:13What actually went down between you and Drew?
09:15As if I tell you.
09:16Well, he's not making any sense.
09:18You're acting like you're on your period.
09:19Hey.
09:20Well, you are.
09:23I don't care about Drew.
09:24He doesn't care about me.
09:26Okay, there's no beef.
09:27Nothing.
09:28We're ex-colleagues, acquaintances at best.
09:31So then you wouldn't care if they asked Kyle if he was interested in the trial?
09:35No.
09:35Because I really gave the guys a heads up.
09:37You did what?
09:38The granulation increases, as does the epithelialisation.
09:43Translation being, it will heal your wound a lot quicker.
09:45But it's still an experimental trial and definitely not worth the risks.
09:48With respect, Doctor, you're not aware of all the risks.
09:50I can take a few guesses.
09:52Well, lucky Kyle doesn't have to guess because we've already done our due diligence.
09:55Well, I don't trust you.
09:57I know you don't.
09:58I assure you we've given Kyle here all the relevant information to the best of our ability.
10:03We would not be negligent.
10:04Yeah, sounds good.
10:05Well, maybe you wouldn't, but I can't count on Drew.
10:07Well, you could if you actually listened to what I was saying.
10:10I'm in.
10:11What?
10:11Excellent.
10:12Wait, hang on.
10:12We need to think about this.
10:13He has.
10:14The man said yes, Phil.
10:16Okay, great.
10:17We just need you to read and sign a few documents before getting started.
10:21Good stuff, Kyle.
10:24Oh, my God.
10:33Sage is going to get you microchipped when he finds out you didn't show the oncologist.
10:38Didn't miss the appointment on purpose.
10:40Are you sure?
10:42I'm concerned you're not taking this seriously enough.
10:45I've got a year.
10:46A year and a half at best.
10:49Surgery has a mortality rate of 80%.
10:51Five-year survival for glioplastomas is less than 5%.
10:54The damn things can double in less than a week.
10:56I know what this is, Chris.
10:59Okay.
11:00One day at a time.
11:01We'll reschedule.
11:03You don't have to make any decisions today.
11:04How the hell I don't.
11:05You said I did about a thousand times.
11:08Well, so what's holding you back?
11:09Besides the obvious?
11:13Bonnie's in a bind.
11:17She needs me to go to Canada with her.
11:20Oh, that can't happen.
11:21Not right now.
11:22I know.
11:23You know how long I've been waiting for something like this?
11:29It broke my heart even to say no.
11:32There'll be other chances.
11:33No.
11:35That's that night.
11:36There won't.
11:38She didn't think might have come to me for anything again.
11:40Well, that's a bit dramatic.
11:41Just tell her about the tumour.
11:43No.
11:43Emmett, you need your family around you right now.
11:46When I had leukaemia...
11:47I'm not you, Chris.
11:49And Bonnie's not your kids.
11:50Hey.
11:51Founding members of the Shit Dads Club, remember?
11:56Yeah, I wanted out ages ago.
11:58Yeah, well, she'll want to know.
12:01And she deserves to know the truth.
12:07You and Chris?
12:08Really?
12:10What?
12:11Huh?
12:11What has he said?
12:12I know you knew about Salvignon.
12:14Oh, that.
12:16Giving Drew and Boyd the PZD space lying to me?
12:19Look, it's just cutting-edge grape stuff.
12:21And you know what he's like?
12:22He can be very persuasive.
12:23Is that blood?
12:25Oh.
12:27Chris made me the bandage by hand.
12:30And you know, I just...
12:32I don't think he'd do that for anyone.
12:34What is going on with you?
12:36Nothing.
12:37Fine.
12:38Okay, fine.
12:39I just didn't want things to get awkward between us,
12:42but I have picked up on the tensions and the volatility.
12:45Get to the point.
12:46I just want to make sure it's completely done-zo.
12:48Hmm?
12:49You and Chris?
12:50What?
12:51Are you still in love with him?
12:53No.
12:54Are you sure?
12:55Absolutely not.
12:57It's long dead.
12:59No chance.
13:00Well, that's great.
13:02But...
13:03Because obviously that would just be a massive conflict of interest.
13:06Okay, well, that's disgusting.
13:08Go get a real bandage.
13:11The hydrocortisone will reduce some of the information.
13:14You might taste it in the back of your throat,
13:15but it's nothing to worry about.
13:20Okay.
13:21Distribution's local to the area of the dressing.
13:24Multiple dome-shaped papules.
13:27Definite purple hue.
13:29That's all you've got.
13:31Kyle, this isn't an ideal reaction, mate, obviously,
13:33but don't worry, we'll get it straightened out.
13:35I told you not to use him as your guinea pig,
13:37and now look.
13:38I assure you we had great success with our lab mice.
13:41Probably because their fur covered up their little raisin rashes.
13:43This is on us.
13:45What?
13:45Well, we really should have come to you first,
13:47seeing if you felt that Kyle was inappropriate.
13:49Well, how would she even know?
13:51We're sorry.
13:53Yeah, well, I'm not the one that you need to apologise to.
13:57Are you going to make me ask?
13:59Alienating the staff here isn't exactly in our best interest.
14:02You've certainly changed your turn.
14:05Alienating the staff here isn't exactly in our best interest.
14:10Am I early?
14:11No, you're right on time.
14:12So is the person I'm meeting late?
14:14The meeting is with me.
14:15Please, take a seat.
14:17Libby, I'd...
14:17No, you'll like it.
14:18I promise.
14:24Deep breaths.
14:25Love.
14:26Happiness.
14:27Abundance.
14:28You've got this.
14:42Oh, God.
14:43Do you get it?
14:44Because you're actually a surgeon.
14:46One of the best.
14:48What is that?
14:49Oh, wait.
14:49We can ask questions at the end and figure out the details then.
14:56Well, that one explains itself.
15:00Now, not that I have been intentionally eavesdropping, but I have been privy to some of the many fights that
15:06you two have had.
15:06And my conflict style is so different.
15:09It's much calmer.
15:13After everything that went down between us a decade ago, the stars have aligned.
15:18And here we are, in the same place where we first met and fell in love.
15:24In love?
15:25Yes.
15:26Yes.
15:27And, well, just in time for that, because...
15:30Well, you only have 12 good summers left.
15:34So why not spend them with me?
15:41Okay.
15:42Um, your turn now.
15:46Libby.
15:47Chris.
15:49I'm really sorry if I gave you the wrong idea.
15:52Oh, no, you haven't.
15:54I don't know why I didn't see it sooner.
15:56I mean, the signs have been there all along.
15:57Have you completely lost your mind?
15:59I don't love you.
16:01But what about the compliments and the little moments and the special tourniquet you made for my head?
16:07I was being kind.
16:08You were dripping blood everywhere.
16:10Did you honestly think you could win me over with this insane PowerPoint?
16:15And it's very offensive.
16:1715 summers.
16:1912.
16:1912?
16:26Yeah, I can see how we may have got our wires crossed.
16:30I'm sorry.
16:31I'm sorry for wasting your time.
16:35Look, Libby, there is no world in which you and I are ever getting back together, because we're just completely
16:41incompatible as evidence by...
16:43By all of this.
16:44Yes, no, I know, I know.
16:45Yeah, no.
16:45I'm an idiot.
16:47And must be all the blood loss.
16:50Can I go?
16:50Yes, please.
16:52Okay.
17:00Hey.
17:01So I'd drop in, see how it's all going.
17:06Any luck with your friends?
17:08No, not yet.
17:10I'm going to grab some cake.
17:13Don't want to eat in front of you.
17:14Okay.
17:19See what you've done?
17:20Yeah, I know.
17:21I'm a selfish prick.
17:23Oh, don't give me that crap.
17:25I guess I'll just take it then.
17:27Idiot.
17:28I mean, what was it all for in the end?
17:31After all that work to get her to trust you?
17:34What, you're just going to throw it all away?
17:36I'm a hero.
17:39I'm just trying to stay part of their lives for as long as I possibly can.
17:44Words.
17:46I can back it up.
17:48I will.
17:49I don't believe you.
17:50And I don't think she will either.
17:55Don't tell me you've been on lunch this whole time.
17:57No.
17:58Are you crying?
18:00Only a little bit.
18:01Hello, Bertie.
18:02Am I okay, really?
18:04What happened?
18:05Chris.
18:05Is he all right?
18:08Um, Libby.
18:10I...
18:12I'll go.
18:16What have you done to my PA?
18:18She threw herself at me.
18:19What?
18:20Why?
18:21She somehow got it into her head that I've been flirting with her and sending her secret signals.
18:26Well, have you?
18:27No.
18:28She wouldn't be the first woman you've let on, unwittingly or otherwise.
18:31Okay, well, that's the second time you've accused me of sexually harassing a staff member,
18:36when the only person I've shown any interest in is you.
18:44I had a word with Chris.
18:45He is a monster.
18:48You should have heard the words he said to me.
18:49They were cruel and heartless.
18:51I didn't even realize you had feelings for him.
18:54Well, neither did I, but you know what it's like with him.
18:57He charms you.
18:58Makes you think you're the only woman in the world,
19:00and then just kicks you to the curb and moves on to the next.
19:02Usually with a super surgeon or an insanely capable nurse.
19:08Girls like us never stood a chance.
19:10Girls like us?
19:11Yes.
19:11He has burned and spurned us both.
19:14We gave him the best years of our lives
19:16and put our career and ambitions on the back burner
19:19just to play the part of Mrs. Chris Warner.
19:21I never did any of that.
19:23And so much for old age, just mellowing him out.
19:26Don't you worry.
19:28We will find a way to get him out of here,
19:30and we will make him regret that he ever met us.
19:32Well, there is no us.
19:33We're not the same.
19:34No, we're close.
19:35But we actually...
19:37I was married to Chris.
19:38We were a thing for decades.
19:41You were never anything more than a blip.
19:45How would you know?
19:46Grow up, Libby.
19:53We're taking him off the trial.
19:54I should hope so, after what your samples did to him.
19:57He had an allergic reaction.
19:59You're lucky he didn't develop sepsis.
20:02That was never going to happen.
20:03God, you're so confident, aren't you?
20:06You say that like it's bad, but...
20:07Can you stop that?
20:09Stop what?
20:11You know what?
20:14You know what?
20:23We were talking.
20:25Into each other's mouths?
20:27No.
20:29So this is why you wanted so desperately to run the trial out of Shortland Street?
20:33I wasn't desperate.
20:35Phil Grayson.
20:37And the woman who had an affair with Harper that nearly destroyed you?
20:41It's complicated.
20:43Do you even care about the work we're doing, or is this just an excuse for you to act out
20:47your latest midlife crisis?
20:49Of course I care about Sel and Yon.
20:51And what about Phil?
20:53No more lies.
20:54I care about her as well.
20:56Is that okay?
20:57Well, it's insane.
20:58Well, I'm not actually asking for your blessing, Boyd.
21:00Don't.
21:01Because I'm not giving it.
21:05Please tell me you've either come to your senses and you've told Bonnie, or you're about
21:09to.
21:10Well, I've got to rip the plaster off sometime, huh?
21:13Yeah, good.
21:13Be open and honest with the people that you love.
21:15It's hard to carry the burden on your own.
21:18I assumed you would have run off and told Poppy by now.
21:21Well, I need time to process this too.
21:23Hey.
21:25I'm going to be okay.
21:29Right.
21:32Hey.
21:34Hey.
21:36Mum's tired.
21:37They're not feeling much like visitors today.
21:39And I am heading home to Katamir.
21:42Give her the crap news.
21:43She'll be gutted.
21:45You haven't found anyone?
21:46No.
21:47And no help.
21:48No trip.
21:51We've been working all year towards this and pulling out now.
21:53It's just...
21:55I don't know when I'll get the same opportunity again.
21:59That sucks, Bon, but it might be better because you'll be...
22:01Sage.
22:02Don't.
22:04Sorry, your map floor's yours.
22:07I'm coming with you, Bon.
22:10What?
22:11What?
22:11Yeah, that's right.
22:12I just had to move a few things around.
22:14I mean, I wanted to before, but...
22:15Dad!
22:16Yeah.
22:18Seriously, thank you so much.
22:19You have no idea what this means to me.
22:21Oh, I think he's got some idea.
22:26We've only candidates.
22:26Yeah, we are.
22:42David, hi.
22:43It's Libby.
22:45Jeffries.
22:47At Shortland Street.
22:50So.
22:51I know all about your plan to take down Chris Warner,
22:54and I can give you exactly what you need.
22:57Give me the full 100K,
22:59and I'll give you Chris Warner's head on a plate.
23:01I know all about your plan to take down.
23:05Give me the full 100K,
