00:00Previously on Shortland Street.
00:01Welcome back.
00:02Oh my God, Emmett!
00:03Oh my God, it is so good to have you back.
00:05Maeve, room four, infected lacerations, please.
00:07Bed 2 needs discharge paperwork.
00:09You're running this ED into the ground, you know.
00:11That is a blatant lie, and you are not allowed food in here.
00:15David!
00:15What the hell are you doing?
00:17Lynch Pharmaceuticals are running a trial.
00:19I didn't know people could die.
00:21Well, they have died, David.
00:22And everyone on that trial is at risk.
00:29Look, at this stage, you know as much as I do.
00:31I'm really sorry.
00:34You're a Shortland Street Fertility Clinic.
00:36I understand the news is unsettling.
00:39Look, I'm just going to go, and I'll come back as soon as possible, okay?
00:43Selina.
00:43Yeah?
00:44Hey, how are you explaining this to them?
00:45Um, just what David said to me, funding issues.
00:48I can't believe they'd cut it in mid-cycle.
00:50I know that's what I said, but you know what David's like?
00:53Yeah.
00:54It's best to discuss that with a doctor, but I've taken your details, and someone will
00:58call you back.
00:59Yeah.
01:00Yeah, I understand.
01:01We'll be in touch.
01:03We'll be with you shortly.
01:05Mari, thank you for helping out.
01:07David's not in today.
01:08Yeah, he pulled a sickie because he knew he'd be confronted by angry waihine.
01:12The news is upsetting, and we don't have any concrete answers, but they're all here.
01:17So assess basic vitals and do bloods for everyone.
01:21But what do we tell them about their treatment?
01:22We'll be in touch in due course, and encourage them to stay patient.
01:27Okay.
01:32Do you know how to turn this to answer phone?
01:34Oh, great.
01:35More reinforcements.
01:38Selina, I need a word.
01:40Okay.
01:40I'm so sorry.
01:45Oi.
01:45You.
01:46Yesterday.
01:47Mm-hmm.
01:47The day before today.
01:48Yeah, I don't need you throwing your two cents in when the adults are fighting.
01:51I was just trying to stick up for you.
01:53Well, don't.
01:54When bestie can fight his own battles.
01:56I don't even know what that means.
01:57Now, I know you don't want to talk about it, but chemo is coming up, and you...
02:00Just bed for, please.
02:02Repeat orbs and fast track discharge, will you?
02:04Roger that.
02:06Um.
02:07What?
02:08Well, Crane wanted me to have neuro rule before anything else.
02:11I'm sorry.
02:12Who's here to be, Dee?
02:12Well, it was you, and, um, then it was her, and...
02:16Now.
02:19Where do you need me?
02:20Ah.
02:21Bed two, please.
02:22Chest x-ray, ECG, and...
02:24Opponents.
02:25Let's cover our bases.
02:28What?
02:29Crane says she's low risk, so just to repeat an ECG in an hour.
02:33Crane.
02:36Crane.
02:39Dr. Whitman.
02:40Why are my staff stuck in a permanent game of Peggy in the middle with you and I on each
02:43end?
02:44Really?
02:45They shouldn't be playing any sort of games, none of them are on break.
02:49Every time I've given them an instruction, you've told them to do something else.
02:53It doesn't sound like an optimal way to run ED.
02:55And, I mean, it's not exactly Crane's fault.
02:57Where would you like me?
02:59If you have a suggestion for how things could run more smoothly, let me know.
03:03I'll run point with the nurses, you manage console.
03:06Done.
03:07Good.
03:08Okay, everyone.
03:09Back to work.
03:17What?
03:18How did this happen?
03:20Well, we're still trying to get to the bottom of it, but documents were forged, among other things.
03:24Okay, what does this mean for me, for the baby, for all of us?
03:27We're not entirely sure yet.
03:29But we suspect that Amanda died because of the drug, in conjunction with her hypothyroidism, which caused disturbances in the
03:36clotting cascade.
03:38Okay.
03:39I have the same condition, so...
03:42I'm so sorry, Selina.
03:43Who else has hypothyroidism?
03:45There are three people, including you, who we've marked as high risk and will be seeing you all urgently today.
03:51I can't believe I was worried about having a baby and then I find out that I might die.
03:55I'm not going to let that happen.
03:58Guys, I need some help in here.
03:59Selina needs her test as soon as possible.
04:01And then she's heading home.
04:02Yeah, of course.
04:03No, I'm not going home.
04:04You need me here today.
04:05No, we'll make it work.
04:07We can send someone else down.
04:08I know how these women feel.
04:10I encourage some of them to go on treatment.
04:12I'm staying.
04:23Really, Izzy?
04:24Could have been sage.
04:26It wasn't sage.
04:28Are you guamping?
04:30No, I'm hungry.
04:31I'm always the one.
04:33What is that supposed to mean?
04:35It's okay if you're upset that Arlo doesn't like you.
04:38What?
04:39He...
04:39Yeah, he does.
04:41Not that I care if he likes me.
04:43He respects me.
04:44Your first mistake is thinking he respects anyone.
04:48He obviously likes me.
04:50I think that'll go a long way in our consultancy exam.
04:53Well, I'm a great surgeon.
04:54And that's all you have to be to do well in the consultancy exams.
04:59Who's to say?
05:02Oh, my God.
05:04Really, Izzy?
05:06Who's to say?
05:08Like I told you before, as long as the patients are being seen in a timely manner, I don't care.
05:14Okay.
05:17Emmett just doesn't seem like himself, though.
05:19Right?
05:19I mean, he hasn't exactly hit the ground running.
05:21And yeah, I know he wants to be all over everything, but I just...
05:24Well, sometimes the best treatment for a rash is to let it run his course.
05:30What?
05:31Emmett all over everything.
05:33That was a tempting metaphor.
05:35To be clear, I prefer an appropriate topical ointment.
05:39Okay.
05:42I'm just saying, it seems very unlike you.
05:46Just hand the reins over like that.
05:55It's against my principles to divulge information that's been told to me in confidence.
05:59But I do think it's important that you know Emmett is experiencing some health issues.
06:04What?
06:04I'm not comfortable speaking further on the matter.
06:07But if you give Stuart an inch, I'm sure he'll tell you.
06:12I would like to see him not have to shoulder that burden alone.
06:17Oh, for Emmett.
06:18Okay.
06:20Yeah.
06:23Thank you for looking at me.
06:28Hey, we've got a call.
06:30Hi, I was up a night studying.
06:32Where are you now?
06:33Yeah.
06:33Thinking about your French technique.
06:35You liked it.
06:36Oui, oui.
06:36They don't call me magic hands for nothing.
06:39Does anyone call you magic hands?
06:41You could be the first.
06:42Noted.
06:43See you soon.
06:44Counting on it.
06:46Oh.
06:47You know what keeps me up at night?
06:50Tell me.
06:52Well, I have just been thinking about how you're such a good surgeon.
06:57So good you can't get to sleep?
06:59You know, you know all the latest research and all of the latest techniques.
07:05Yeah, it's kind of got me wishing that I had terminal cancer.
07:09You know, so you could heal me with those hands.
07:11Wow, Phil.
07:12Not cool.
07:15Hey, Sam.
07:17Sammy, my boy.
07:19In for treatment today.
07:22Nice work.
07:30So they stopped your treatment because you're not feeling well?
07:32No, it's a funding thing.
07:35Well, that's what they said originally about it.
07:37Say, kao mai linga.
07:39It was my hyperthyroidism.
07:41They said that it could be a risk factor for some really serious things.
07:46Right, that'll be it then.
07:47But, they'll be what when?
07:49That'll be why you're feeling so rubbish.
07:50Why?
07:51Because it's all in your head, sis.
07:53What?
07:54You know, good health starts in the mind.
07:56The brain is a powerful tool.
07:57What is that supposed to mean?
07:59Well, sometimes you can manifest physical symptoms.
08:01You're a nurse, right?
08:02You know that's not true.
08:04You've probably seen it yourself with some of your patients.
08:06You know, they're freaking out.
08:07Loads of symptoms.
08:08They get tested.
08:09Comes back clear.
08:10Symptoms disappear.
08:12Yeah, I suppose I could feel much, much worse.
08:16Because, you know, I know there's a problem with the drugs.
08:19Yeah, exactly.
08:20You're just, you're worrying too much.
08:21You've just got to take everything back a notch.
08:23It's easy for you to say.
08:24Just try.
08:26I can't just think I'm going to be fun and then be fun.
08:29I can't just think I'm going to have a baby and then have a baby.
08:31See, there you go.
08:32Manifesting negative energy.
08:34Ugh.
08:35Nah, sis, seriously.
08:36You can't stress about what you can't control.
08:39Thanks for the pep talk.
08:40Got you, sis.
08:43Mmm.
08:44Ninga, this is good.
08:45Are you sure you don't want to...
08:46Nah, get it away.
08:48Dick.
08:50So, the women?
08:51All being tested.
08:53Hopefully we're not too late.
08:55You told Selena?
08:57I told her about the trial.
08:59I didn't tell her about Lynch.
09:02Right, how can I help her?
09:03Well, you can help us bring them down.
09:05We need evidence.
09:06Anything.
09:07Call logs are one thing, but we need proof.
09:10Emails.
09:10I have emails.
09:11From Lynch.
09:12From Ada yourself.
09:14What are you waiting for?
09:15Go and get your damn computer.
09:20Honestly, that man.
09:22Yeah, maybe we'll have enough to get them this time.
09:25There's no way you could have known.
09:27If anything happens to her.
09:32Okay, if you drag the email into that folder.
09:35No, not that folder.
09:37No, not that email.
09:39How have you got this far through life?
09:43Oh, that's from Addy.
09:49David, you'll be pleased to know that the earlier highlighted issues with Zygote T have been attributed to an internal
09:54reporting error.
09:56Please see attachment for amended corrected results.
09:58What?
10:00Oh, that's amazing.
10:02If this is true, the drug is cleared and we're in the clear.
10:04Yeah, more evidence.
10:05Oh.
10:06David, what are you doing?
10:07Don't open the attachment.
10:09No.
10:10No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
10:11Everything's deleting.
10:12Oh, my God.
10:12I could see that.
10:13Well, now it's a disaster.
10:15Well, unplug it.
10:16I can't unplug it.
10:16It's a laptop.
10:17Why did you open the attachment?
10:19Well, I said to.
10:20Don't just sit there.
10:20Do something.
10:25Have we lost all the evidence?
10:30Oh.
10:31Um.
10:32Oh, no.
10:33Everything has been deleted.
10:38At least they'll be, um, backed up.
10:41What?
10:42You did back it up, didn't you?
10:44You didn't back it up?
10:46Oh, David, why?
10:48Oh, I know why, because you're such a boomer and you're probably doing all these goddamn
10:51illegal things that I don't know.
10:52Shut up, Libby!
11:00Bro, are you guys seeing this?
11:03No, I'll let his back from his break.
11:06That's my dream car.
11:08Take it for a spin if you want.
11:09No way.
11:10Go on.
11:11Oh.
11:13I wanted to apologize about my poorly timed joke this morning.
11:17Childhood diseases are funny to you.
11:18No, of course not.
11:19It's just I think I felt the pressure of you supervising acting self-assisting.
11:22This exam isn't a walk in the park.
11:24Yeah, I know, and I'll be well-equipped.
11:26It's just...
11:26Izzy, God...
11:27You need to be stronger than that.
11:30Yeah, I will be.
11:33Next time you want to throw yourself at someone, make sure there aren't children present.
11:37Better yet, make sure I'm not.
11:44I didn't know Sam was present, okay?
11:46Please, let's never talk about that again.
11:48Do you like Arlo?
11:50No, God, no.
11:51So you're flirting with him for recognition?
11:53Surely you're not that insecure about your abilities.
11:55Well, have you pulled Izzy up about it?
11:57I haven't noticed anything problematic.
11:58Have you got ears or eyes?
12:01God, I'm an idiot.
12:02No, you're not.
12:04You're a very skilled surgeon.
12:06Just do what you're actually good at.
12:08Good job.
12:11Okay, all done.
12:13I'm sorry about the wait.
12:14Your results will be with you in a couple of days, but please take care.
12:20Why don't you just go home?
12:22Who's next?
12:24Are you going to tell me about the injury?
12:26Oh, it's just a little laptop-throwing thing.
12:29Nothing to lose sleep over.
12:30Something to have a wine over, though.
12:31Okay, um, next patient.
12:34Gosh, why aren't you just resting at home?
12:36I mean, you're out here trucking on like a hero.
12:38I'm not a hero.
12:39I am terrified.
12:41Oh, Selina.
12:43I keep thinking about what Chris said to me.
12:45So he told you?
12:46Okay, well, that's good.
12:48Yeah.
12:49Did he tell you about my partner at all?
12:52If you have parked your motorcycle at the hospital entrance,
12:55please move in immediately or risk being towed away.
12:58Your part?
12:59Classic man, taking all the credit.
13:02Okay, so basically, I've been Angelina in that movie with Brad
13:06before it all turned south.
13:07What?
13:08Okay, so you know how Chris has known, like, for weeks?
13:11He told me to get info off David and report it back,
13:13which is actually a lot harder than it sounds.
13:16Weeks?
13:16Yeah.
13:17Well, we've known David has been shady for ages,
13:19so I've been investigating.
13:22Basically doing two jobs.
13:24Like, she-o status.
13:25Okay, let me get this straight.
13:27While I was injecting myself with poison,
13:29or God knows what,
13:30you and Chris were playing spies.
13:32And Rachel too.
13:34Wonderful.
13:35Really, really wonderful.
13:36No, Selina, it's all come out wrong.
13:38No, you've done enough.
13:39Sorry.
13:40Selina, wait!
13:46So, yeah, I think Poppy would rather avoid dwelling on the fact
13:49that he was also with her mum.
13:50As I'm sure you would, too.
13:52And Maeve and Crane.
13:53I know Crane rubbed you up the wrong way,
13:55but she's definitely rubbing Maeve up the right way,
13:57so to speak.
13:57Come on.
13:58Is it stuck?
13:59I had a ginger ale.
14:01How?
14:02Who even drinks that?
14:04Why don't you try something new?
14:06No.
14:08Do you need a hand?
14:12How long have you known?
14:14I didn't know about the drug trial until last night.
14:17You had your suspicions.
14:18How long did you look the other way?
14:20It's not like that.
14:21Oh, isn't it?
14:22Because you're out here enjoying a nice relaxing cup of coffee
14:24while the rest of us pick up pieces of your mistake,
14:27your negligence.
14:28We've been suspicious of David for some time,
14:30but Rachel and I couldn't pinpoint the problem.
14:33Oh, okay.
14:34So it was your girlfriend's negligence you were covering.
14:36I tried to warn you.
14:38Barely.
14:38I couldn't speak up sooner
14:40because I didn't have proof.
14:41You need proof while patient,
14:43while I was at risk.
14:45Selina, I swear to you,
14:46I did not know the real danger
14:48until last night.
14:50You're right, okay.
14:52I messed up,
14:53but it wasn't easy finding the proof.
14:55No, you don't get to sit there
14:57and tell me how hard this is for you
14:59because it's nothing compared
15:01to what I'm going through.
15:07What a hectic day.
15:09Why aren't you making it out alive?
15:10Oh, and only with minor injuries.
15:14Jeez, boys.
15:18You're staring.
15:20I don't know what,
15:21did you get all your eyes for Christmas?
15:24Ew.
15:29Yeah, ew.
15:30Sticky floors and no windows
15:31and suddenly everyone's forgotten basic decency.
15:34Well, men,
15:35they just can't get enough,
15:36but I tell you what, Poppy Dots,
15:38I am so over it.
15:41I'm serious.
15:42I am focusing on me.
15:44Good for you.
15:45I am talking journaling
15:47and soundbars
15:48and smoothies
15:50and no more men.
15:51I could use a little bit of that.
15:52We all could.
15:54I'm mentoring my Libby error.
15:57That's the name you...
15:59You go, girl.
16:06Mae, can you put a line in Q4, please?
16:08Yeah, I'll do both and I'm here.
16:10Just the person I'm after.
16:12Did your ears pop
16:13as you were descending
16:14from the ivory tower?
16:16Where have you been?
16:17You weren't due another break.
16:19Can I have a word, privately?
16:21Anything you have to say,
16:22you can say in front of my team.
16:24Fine, if that's what you want.
16:26Emmett,
16:26you are not the current acting head of ED,
16:29Dr Cranus.
16:30What?
16:31I need ED to run smoothly
16:32and I can't have my day disrupted
16:34by complaints.
16:35Who complained?
16:39That's settled then.
16:42Crane,
16:42you're in charge.
16:50Emmett, wait.
17:04Gentlemen?
17:06You're on catch-up duty.
17:07What'd I miss?
17:08That's some mindless chatter.
17:10About four beers?
17:12Hey, do you mind if I...
17:14If you want?
17:17I?
17:18I thought you said
17:19she was low-hanging fruit.
17:20I didn't say low-hanging fruit
17:21didn't taste good.
17:24She's a single woman.
17:25I knew you were cool.
17:29I thought this was boys' night.
17:31Where are all the boys going?
17:32That's all right, mate.
17:33I'm still here.
17:34So am I.
17:36On if I join?
17:38Yes, actually.
17:40It's girls' night.
17:42Seems your girls
17:43own different bars.
17:45Fine.
17:46I need to stay for one.
17:49Your hair different?
17:50Don't do that.
17:52What?
17:52Make an observation?
17:54I'm about to go home.
17:56Um, okay.
17:58Good night.
17:59Do you want to show a taxi?
18:02Not actually ready to go,
18:03but thanks, though.
18:06All right.
18:10Well, uh,
18:12have a safe night.
18:18Safe night?
18:20Seatbelt's on,
18:21maybe a helmet?
18:23Yeah, well,
18:24if I'm going to be
18:25sharing a taxi with anyone,
18:26it'll be you.
18:28Don't look at me like that.
18:29We live together.
18:31Sure.
18:32And share a taxi
18:33and sleep in separate rooms.
18:36That's what you want.
18:38I don't say that.
18:41I am entering my Libby era,
18:43so no boys allowed.
18:45There's your issue.
18:46You're talking about boys
18:47when you should be
18:48talking about men.
18:49And that's you?
18:50Well, potentially.
18:52Well, I don't know
18:53if I can handle
18:53all this confidence
18:54you pretend to have.
18:55Pretend?
18:56It's real.
18:58Prove it.
18:59Take charge.
19:01You take charge.
19:02There it is.
19:04The truth.
19:07Buy me a drink.
19:08How's that for taking charge?
19:16IT has said the emails
19:18are gone forever.
19:19And they've recommended
19:20you do an online
19:21safety course.
19:22We need to come up
19:24with a plan of action
19:25and fast.
19:27I actually don't know
19:29what to do.
19:32Maybe I should just disappear.
19:35Or you want to leave.
19:37No, you stay
19:38and you deal with this.
19:39Chris.
19:40You had a duty
19:40to help people,
19:41to protect them.
19:42And you let them down.
19:44People are in danger
19:45because of you.
19:46I know.
19:47You don't know.
19:47Amanda died.
19:48Chris, enough.
19:50And snap out of it, David.
19:52I can't have two men
19:53in my office
19:54falling apart.
19:56I'll sort this.
19:57You can't sort anything.
19:59He's right.
20:00You brought us into this.
20:02My signature
20:03on the paperwork
20:03and Chris couldn't be
20:05pried away if we tried.
20:06All three of us
20:08need to fix this.
20:10And I know
20:11we don't have
20:12any evidence
20:12but we have
20:13our reputations
20:15and our names.
20:17We can beat this
20:18if we get in front of it.
20:20I'll go to the media.
20:21If that's what it takes.
20:24So you two
20:25are actually going to help me?
20:26Well, we hardly
20:27have a choice.
20:28You dragged Rachel
20:29into this.
20:29You clearly don't know
20:30how to clean up
20:31your own mess.
20:31What he means
20:32is yes, David.
20:34We are going
20:34to help you.
20:49I expect that kind
20:50of underhanded nonsense
20:51from all the rest
20:52of them, Sage,
20:53but not from you.
20:54I didn't say anything.
20:55I love this, A.D.
20:56you know that.
20:59None of you would care
21:00if I just disappeared,
21:01would you?
21:01Nobody gives a stuff
21:02what I'm going through.
21:06I sacrifice everything
21:08for that he doing you.
21:09What, you go behind
21:09my back like that?
21:10Jesus, H. Sage,
21:11I thought you cared about me.
21:12How dare you?
21:13I have been worried
21:14sick about you.
21:16So how dare you
21:16stand there for a second
21:18and think that I don't
21:18care about you?
21:19Why don't you just
21:20leave me to it, eh?
21:21Off you go,
21:21do whatever Crane
21:22tells you to.
21:23Off you go,
21:23tell your tales to Rachel.
21:24I did not rat you
21:25out to our CEO
21:27and screw you
21:28for thinking
21:28that I don't love you.
21:35I wouldn't do
21:36anything like that
21:37ever, Emmett.
21:43I went next door
21:46and I got you
21:47an old man ginger ale.
22:01What happened with Bonnie?
22:05I messed up.
22:08Again.
22:10She's not talking to me.
22:13And
22:15and it feels like
22:17that's it this time.
22:20How could she do that
22:21when she knows you're sick?
22:25Oh, Emmett.
22:28Come on.
22:32I tried to tell her.
22:35I did, man.
22:36I tried.
22:38I tried to tell her.
22:40but everything just got
22:41I tried.
22:43And I
22:46it's
22:48I can't
22:49I can't
22:49I can't
22:51I can't
22:53I can't
22:54I can't
22:55I can't
22:56I can't
