00:00Previously on Shorten Street.
00:01What's the problem?
00:02Basically, if I want any chance of joint custody,
00:04I need to make sure the flat is a safe space.
00:06Libby, I need you to move out.
00:07If that's the real Ash James,
00:09then who the hell is that?
00:10He's been lying this whole time.
00:12Appeared in court today,
00:13facing charges of firearms possession and distribution.
00:16Just get everything back to hell.
00:19What are you guys doing?
00:26Listen, I'll explain everything.
00:28Ash, get out of the way.
00:29Okay, you've just got to hear me out.
00:30What are you doing?
00:34Hey, look, just calm down.
00:36You'd better back it up, Ash.
00:37That's not his real name, remember?
00:39Are you even a real nurse?
00:40Yeah, you could have killed someone.
00:42I'm a real nurse.
00:43Okay, I'll tell you everything.
00:44Why should we believe anything that comes out of your mouth,
00:46Tyler, or whatever the hell your name is?
00:48I'm not that person.
00:50You are that person.
00:51Yeah, you lied to Maeve and you just threatened Cindy.
00:53I didn't threaten you.
00:54And you broke that dude's wrist like it was nothing.
00:56You're a criminal.
00:57Just look at your family.
00:59But I'm nothing like them.
01:01Yeah, right.
01:02Bloody Aussies, it's in your fucker papa.
01:06We should call the cops.
01:07No, no, no, don't.
01:08Don't, don't.
01:09I can't let you do that.
01:09Well, what, eh?
01:11Just let me get myself.
01:12Just get the hell out.
01:14You're not welcome in this faddy anymore.
01:36Oh, morning, Marty.
01:37Hey.
01:38Coffee's up and, um, I made you some brekkie.
01:41I made it special.
01:42Oh, you didn't have to do that.
01:44Don't be silly.
01:44I wanted to.
01:45It's thanks for putting me up and saving me when Maeve turned me out into the street with
01:50no warning at all.
01:52And no compassion either.
01:53Not like you.
01:54Well, you have been a dream guest.
01:56Really?
01:57Have I?
01:58Yeah, totally.
01:58You've been fun and thoughtful.
02:01Made this place feel like a home again.
02:03Well, when you put it like that, I sound like a pretty perfect person to live with.
02:08Don't I?
02:09I'm really going to miss having you around.
02:11Okay, then hear me out.
02:14Maybe I don't have to go.
02:16Maybe I could stay.
02:17Libby, I would love that.
02:19Oh, my God.
02:19I am kidding.
02:20Obviously.
02:21No, you don't have to justify yourself to me.
02:25Not again.
02:26And I don't want you to jeopardize anything.
02:28I know your kids come first.
02:30Yeah, they do.
02:31Unless you want to adopt me.
02:33Ah, got you again.
02:35No, you can't legally adopt me, I don't think.
02:38And Mum would have a fit.
02:40You do have somewhere to go, though, right?
02:42Yes.
02:43Oh, my God.
02:45Yes.
02:47Don't worry about me.
02:48I'm like a cat.
02:49I always land on my feet.
02:52Okay.
02:57All right.
02:58Show my support.
02:59Very generous of you, but unnecessary.
03:02I disagree.
03:03Well, well, Chris.
03:05I didn't think we'd see you here at our little celebration.
03:07I wouldn't miss it.
03:08So, is this for show, or are you doctoring again?
03:11Uh, running the clinic, actually.
03:14Well, it's a good look, Dr. Kearney.
03:16Why, thank you, Dr. Warner.
03:18You should have said something.
03:19Dusting off your practicing certificate, that's a big step.
03:22Well, not taken lightly.
03:24And I had no idea that fertility medicine fell within your scope,
03:27or have you been secretly retraining, too?
03:31Oh, I'm just overseeing things, making sure the clinic is set up right.
03:34No, it makes sense.
03:35But none of this is your concern, now that you're leaving.
03:38Finally hanging up your stethoscope after all this time?
03:41Well, you know, I'm still here for another six weeks.
03:43And even then, I won't be leaving medicine.
03:45You know, for some of us, it's more than just a job.
03:49We know.
03:56Thanks for coming.
04:00Tēnā koutou katoa.
04:03Welcome to the Shortland Street Fertility Clinic,
04:05Shortland Street's very own global standard facility
04:08devoted to easing the emotional burden and uncertainty around conception.
04:13Creating futures starts here.
04:23Hey, guys.
04:24Can we go somewhere to talk alone?
04:27Like a locked room where no one can hear us scream?
04:30Look, I'm sorry about that, but can I just clear the air?
04:32That's a no from me.
04:33Cindy, Ash, I need an incident report from one of you by the end of the day, okay?
04:38Taking responsibility for yesterday's error.
04:39Well, it ain't gonna be me.
04:41Now, I am gonna demo arterial blood gases, different to a venous drawer.
04:46This one goes straight into the artery, so it's more painful, and you've got to be precise.
04:50Yeah?
04:52Hi, Stella.
04:53Hi.
04:54Cindy, could you please stabilise the wrist with the palm facing upwards and flexed?
05:01Yeah.
05:02Anchor it like this.
05:02I don't need your help.
05:07By the way, your obs yesterday were incomplete.
05:09No one's respiratory rate is consistently 16.
05:11Right.
05:12Oh, let me take over.
05:19Too shallow.
05:19Retract.
05:20Angle down.
05:21And I had to do this.
05:22Focus, Maeve.
05:23Could you please stop micromanaging me?
05:25It wasn't my intent to make you uncomfortable.
05:29Ash, could you please do that on the other wrist?
05:33Oh, my God.
05:34Oh, my God.
05:34I am so sorry.
05:38My car got stolen.
05:39But I have the cupcakes.
05:40Did you run, Maeve?
05:41Yes.
05:42What are you waiting for?
05:43Put them out before the guests all leave.
05:46I said tasteful.
05:47I spoke to the patisserie, and I said fertility, and I trust their vision.
05:51Look, they're smiling.
05:53Hide them before the herald gets a photograph.
05:55And tidy yourself up before coming in here again.
06:00It's upset, huh?
06:01Something not going to plan.
06:02You'd love that, wouldn't you?
06:04The opening seems to have gone very well.
06:07Cupcakes aside, I'm impressed.
06:08I know something's going on.
06:10I don't know what you mean.
06:12You're up to something, aren't you?
06:13David and I have had our disagreements over the years, but I'm moving on, and I'm happy
06:19for him.
06:19And you, that this clinic exists.
06:22Uh-huh.
06:24Go on.
06:25Swallow your pride.
06:32I looked up his practicing shirt under his real name.
06:35It checks out.
06:36Either way, you're still in trouble with Maeve.
06:38There's no way I'm going down for something I didn't do.
06:41Ash isn't going to step up.
06:43If he does, then they'll find out he's not who he says he is.
06:46They can't, no.
06:46Can you not sneak up on us like that, you psycho?
06:49Just hear me out.
06:50No, you need to stay the hell away from us.
06:52I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you.
06:53Just leave it.
06:59What's going on?
07:00Is that about the incident report?
07:04Okay, don't talk, but they're obviously not fans of yours right now.
07:07Yeah, they don't want anything to do with me.
07:10If there's anything I have learned, you can't run away from things.
07:14Got to face them head on.
07:15I don't know.
07:45Well, thank you for stepping forward and owning up to your mistake.
07:48What happens now?
07:50I will have to take this to Rachel.
07:52To recall what happens next.
07:55Okay.
08:00That's a good thing, right?
08:02Yeah.
08:03Guess I'll have to go back to his whanau and Ozzy.
08:05Yeah.
08:06The ones he was trying to get away from.
08:08Yep.
08:10It must have been pretty hard out for him to steal someone's identity.
08:13We saw the articles.
08:15Yeah.
08:16It's not even worse than some of my fun.
08:18They're way worse.
08:19So I take bereavement leave.
08:21Then you go and resign.
08:23Can't trust you to hold the fort for five minutes.
08:26I wanted to tell you myself.
08:28I had to hear it from Rachel.
08:29I didn't know you were coming in today.
08:31TK wanted me to sign some forms on behalf of the EU.
08:33You know, for the fertility clinic.
08:35Yeah.
08:36Kenny's pet project.
08:38Not a fan, huh?
08:39You'll bring in revenue for the hospital.
08:41Which is much needed.
08:42And I was kind of hoping that you'd be here to keep an eye on it.
08:45This is for the best.
08:47Yeah, how so?
08:49Esther.
08:51What are you doing here?
08:52Hi to you too, Maddie.
08:55Sorry, I just didn't expect to see you.
08:58It was nice to see you.
08:59You too.
09:02I'm just here for business.
09:05The lawyers?
09:07Hospital stuff.
09:09Right.
09:10You didn't happen to bring the kids up with you?
09:13No, I left them back home.
09:15They couldn't really bring them up for a few hours.
09:17And besides, they love being with a whanau.
09:20Right, that makes sense.
09:24How are you?
09:26Can I complain?
09:28Oh my God, Maddie.
09:30I've had the literal worst day.
09:32My car got stolen.
09:34What?
09:36That's my blazer.
09:38Um, no, I don't think so.
09:40That's my top.
09:41That's my pants.
09:42Gia came and got most of your stuff.
09:44Take it off.
09:44Esther, come on.
09:46Shut up, Maddie.
09:47It's all I have.
09:48Well, then you can piss off.
09:54Well, this is going to be good.
10:04Look, I'm not going to bother you guys.
10:06After this, I just couldn't leave without saying something.
10:11Why now?
10:14You two were my first real mates.
10:17And it made me feel like I actually belonged somewhere.
10:20And I hate that I put a match to all of it.
10:23And that you're not going to believe any of it was real.
10:28Bit late for all of that, isn't it?
10:31I know.
10:33I'm sorry for everything.
10:36And if this is it, um...
10:41Thank you for being my friend.
10:52She's been living in the apartment, yes, but only short term.
10:55All her stuff got stolen in her car and she had nothing to wear to work today.
10:58She's been living with you.
11:00We are not together and she's already moving out.
11:02I can't believe you've let another woman into my house.
11:05My bed.
11:06No one has been in your bed, Esther.
11:08Not even Rachel.
11:11Not Libby.
11:12Look, she just needed a roof over her head, okay?
11:16Well, you do love a damsel in distress.
11:19Don't do that.
11:20Don't make stuff up to justify keeping the kids from me.
11:23This is what you wanted.
11:24Yeah, but you had to go and make it ugly because you're so bitter.
11:29That basic bitch can help you.
11:35Hey, you remember my multi-organ transplant case?
11:38I'm getting an award for it.
11:39I just found out.
11:41Wow.
11:42Yeah, I wasn't expecting it.
11:45Good for you.
11:52Oh, damn, you've got a bed.
11:54I don't know what you mean.
11:56Admit it.
11:57Listen, you fumbled that ABG earlier.
11:58You're so into her.
11:59No.
12:00Yeah.
12:01Crane?
12:06Is there a problem?
12:07Maeve needs you.
12:09She's kidding.
12:12All right.
12:15Actually, are you...
12:16Are you free tonight?
12:18After work, I mean.
12:21I am.
12:22Dinner?
12:24Okay.
12:25Lola, 1,900 hours.
12:27Sure.
12:27I'll meet you there.
12:31Here for the consult.
12:33Hi.
12:33Yeah, cube three.
12:39Is it maybe payback time?
12:41No, don't.
12:43Why not?
12:44Are you over it?
12:44No.
12:45I just don't want to be too eager.
12:46Scare them off.
12:48Hypocrite.
12:49Seriously, honey.
12:50What have you got to lose?
12:59What the hell?
13:02Oi, you lot.
13:08Why do I have three incident reports now?
13:11Well, I made the mistake, not Ash.
13:13No, it was me.
13:15I'm really sorry.
13:16I should have owned up sooner.
13:19These two covered for me because that's what best mates do.
13:24Okay.
13:25Since I am not getting the truth here, I'm going to let this drop.
13:30But listen, this is your final warning, okay?
13:32Any more shenanigans, you're all on suspension without pay.
13:36Got it?
13:44Guys, you didn't...
13:46Like...
13:46Hang on.
13:47This is a final warning.
13:49Any more shenanigans and you're out in the street for real.
13:51Well, it depends on such shenanigans.
13:54We're not heartless.
14:00I thought the cupcakes were cute.
14:02Well, thank you.
14:03He still hasn't reimbursed me for them.
14:05You're still hanging around, Chris.
14:07I thought you'd be dusting off your golf clubs or whatever retirees do.
14:10I have six weeks left on my contract.
14:12Six weeks of sulking.
14:14What a legacy.
14:15I'd rather sulk than help pave the way for some shiny new empire.
14:20Your ego is astounding.
14:22You just can't stand not being the centre of everything.
14:25Believe what you want, Rachel.
14:26You sold yourself out for a job title and money.
14:29And you're just going to run away like you always do,
14:32leaving everyone else to clean up your mess.
14:34Like you're leaving me to clean up yours.
14:35You left me no choice.
14:37If you weren't such a liar today...
14:38I couldn't wait to push me out.
14:40I didn't have to push you.
14:41You jumped.
14:42The second things weren't going your way.
14:45Fine.
14:46Then let's do it your way.
14:51Okay.
14:52Show's over.
14:59This is a sad sight.
15:01Did your favourite person stand you up?
15:03Marty.
15:03I meant Marty.
15:05No.
15:05I'm just waiting on takeaway.
15:08You all good?
15:10Yeah.
15:10Actually, I...
15:12What?
15:13You're going to say something?
15:14No, it's nothing.
15:16Really.
15:17I...
15:18I got this award thing.
15:20It's silly.
15:21An award?
15:22That's not nothing.
15:23What kind of award?
15:24You remember my multi-open transplant case?
15:27Yes, for that.
15:29What?
15:30That's huge.
15:31Congratulations.
15:32You must be stoked.
15:34Thanks, Poppy.
15:35Yeah.
15:36Yeah.
15:37Thanks.
15:37Then why are you being so weird and shy about it?
15:40It's called humility.
15:41What?
15:42It sucks.
15:42And I hate it.
15:44I'm serious.
15:45You...
15:45You should be celebrating.
15:47That's no one to celebrate with.
15:50That's not true.
15:52No?
15:54No.
15:55No.
16:10You're neither on the verge of having sex out there.
16:14Interesting.
16:17Let's hope our dinner goes just as well.
16:21You look gorgeous.
16:24So do you.
16:26Wine list?
16:27I don't.
16:28Drink.
16:30I don't like being out of control and...
16:33Alcohol makes my face go red.
16:35I have noticed you like to lead.
16:38Not always.
16:42Would you like to share?
16:45Sorry?
16:47Dinner.
16:47I can be a vegetarian for the evening.
16:50Uh, yes.
16:52Yes, let's do that.
16:57What do you think?
16:59Selina.
17:00It was your first day on the new job.
17:02Amazing, right?
17:03Yeah.
17:03Amazing.
17:05It's different from surgical.
17:07Less adrenaline, more emotion, but it's certainly an adjustment.
17:11What if I can't adjust?
17:13Well, I believe you can.
17:14You're away with people, with patients.
17:16It's invaluable.
17:17I'd hate to lose you.
17:19Well, I won't be away just yet.
17:21Look, I know it's a lot dealing with the idea of babies all day, but...
17:24You know, the fact is, we are a fertility clinic.
17:27And you would make an amazing candidate for IVF.
17:30Not like I haven't thought about it.
17:31Look, Selina, you're exactly the sort of person we want to help.
17:36And if you're ready to have a baby by yourself...
17:38Yeah.
17:39I'm ready.
17:40Well, then you're in exactly the right place.
17:45All right.
17:46We all got a full bookie now.
17:49Time to tell us everything.
17:57There was this drug deal.
17:59This kid got involved.
18:01And my sister, Mickey, she...
18:03She shot him.
18:05It was an accident.
18:07He started bleeding out.
18:08I tried to help, but I couldn't.
18:11And he died in my arms.
18:13I just thought if I had the right stuff, or I could have gotten him to hospital, or...
18:18So this was recent?
18:21Yeah.
18:26Everyone took the piss out of me when I said I wanted to be a nurse.
18:30There's no way in hell anyone was going to let me study or get my degree.
18:35Unless I promise to use it, you know, to help them.
18:39I don't want to be that guy.
18:41A guy who hurts people.
18:43A Hudson.
18:45I want to fix things.
18:48So I had to get out of there.
18:51Makes sense.
18:52Why you were so messed up by that kid with the spider bite.
18:58I'll keep your secret.
19:00But no more bullshit.
19:02We're putting ourselves on the line here, so we need to trust you.
19:07Deal?
19:09Deal.
19:16Since we're being honest, I haven't told you fellas my real name.
19:20What is it?
19:22Promise not to laugh.
19:24Yeah, promise.
19:26It's Cinderella.
19:31Are you...
19:48How do you feel about dessert?
19:53Um...
19:55You know what?
19:55Sorry, I have to ask.
19:56It's distracting me.
19:59Is there a wedding ring?
20:02Yes.
20:04We're open.
20:07Well...
20:08Okay.
20:10You're upset I didn't mention my wife.
20:12Not upset.
20:13No, I am just...
20:16taking it all in.
20:17I can answer any questions you have over dessert.
20:19I liked the...
20:21sound of the meringue and mandarin sorbet.
20:25Uh...
20:25No, I think...
20:27I think I'm...
20:28done.
20:32All right.
20:38Hey.
20:39Hey.
20:40Um, I've brought back Esther's stuff.
20:42I figured it was safer if I handed it back to you myself.
20:45You're still wearing them?
20:46Yeah.
20:47So, can I have a shower?
20:48Yeah, of course.
20:49You've had a terrible day.
20:51You want a drink?
20:52Yeah.
20:55But I got my car back.
20:57All my presets are gone.
21:00It stinks, but I got most of my clothes back, so that's a win.
21:04That is good.
21:05I'm sorry if I made things worse.
21:08No, you didn't.
21:09Esther's...
21:10She's going to believe whatever she wants to.
21:12I mean, she's crazy.
21:13As if you'd ever be with me.
21:17I mean, the whole...
21:19You and me being together, that's crazy.
21:21As if that would ever happen.
21:25Why not?
21:27Yeah, right.
21:39You didn't have to go quite that hard in the fight.
21:42It had to be convincing.
21:47What?
21:49I don't think you were acting.
21:50Oh, it doesn't matter.
21:51David bought it.
21:52He'll think we'd rather die than be around each other,
21:55so he won't suspect a thing.
21:56You made me look like a coward,
21:58like I don't care what happens to this place.
22:00It will be worth it when we find out what he's up to.
22:03You called me reckless and egotistical.
22:06Actually, I said you were a liability.
22:10I'm gambling my entire career on this, my reputation.
22:16Is that all you care about?
22:19You lied to me.
22:22You feel this.
22:24I know you do.
22:25It doesn't matter.
22:26It doesn't matter, Rachel.
22:27What's between us.
22:28Because you lied to me for weeks.
22:32I can't trust you.
22:35How can we move forward if...
22:37If I can't ever trust you?
22:39It's so good.
22:41I have...
22:43I can't trust you.
22:45It's like, has been an event.
