00:00Previously on Shortland Street.
00:01Paul here is our new head of marketing.
00:03A great example of a risk would be a senior staff member drinking with a female junior surgeon.
00:08Could be seen as coercion.
00:11Come on.
00:11Sorry, I know it's a super random visit. You just weren't replying.
00:14I didn't realise you.
00:16Yeah.
00:17Yeah, sorry for interrupting.
00:23I'm concerned about a number of opportunities for engagement that aren't being maximised.
00:27The cafe, for example, excellent source of revenue, impossible to find.
00:32Invest in signage, pays for itself within a day.
00:34I'm sorry, what exactly is going on?
00:36Paul is a PR superstar.
00:38He's hot off a 40% sales increase with Bentel's Biscuits.
00:42He oversaw the rebranding of Crack of Energy and he made boots cool again.
00:46Boots? Can we talk privately?
00:48O'Connor's boots were hanging on by a shoestring till I got there.
00:51Never heard of them.
00:52You own a pair. It was Paul's campaign.
00:55Walk it off.
00:58Shall we talk damage control re-day drinking?
01:01Please.
01:03It's something that some of the consultants do at the end of a shift.
01:08Phil was struggling.
01:09What actually happened doesn't come into it.
01:10What matters is what it looked like.
01:13Optics.
01:14And it didn't look good.
01:15A colleague needed support and an ear and I obliged.
01:18That sounds completely harmless.
01:20Look, what is going on? Has Phil said something?
01:22Last week, a photo of you with a patient in a compromising position was circulated, correct?
01:28I was fully clothed and he was on top.
01:30Today, I saw you drinking, door closed I might add, with a female junior.
01:35Oh, anything can be made to sound salacious.
01:37One photograph of you like that online and you're a predator.
01:41Career cancelled. Hospital tainted.
01:43You getting it now?
01:46It's not just you, Dr. Warner. The hospital's packed with problematic staff.
01:49Okay. So, damage control. What needs to be done?
01:52From now on, we limit Chris's role to surgery only.
01:55No more staff drinks. No more media. And no interviews.
01:59You can't be serious.
02:00It's for your protection and the hospital's.
02:02Chris, surely you don't back this.
02:04It's my job to protect the hospital.
02:07Chin up, Chris. Cracking energy?
02:12So, how long has you been back?
02:15Um, a day, I think.
02:19Coincidental.
02:21What seems wildly coincidental to me is that I am finally getting somewhere with this whole custody thing you're putting
02:27me through.
02:27And then, bam, here you are.
02:29So is Monique.
02:30Don't make this about her. This is about us.
02:31You, me, Piki, Kiwa.
02:33No one else comes into it.
02:38They miss you.
02:41Kiwa never got his prison.
02:45Yeah, about that, I'm sorry.
02:49What are you doing here, Iz?
02:51I was angry, okay?
02:52And all of that shit with Libby.
02:54I shouldn't have said what I said.
02:56I know I've weaponised the kids.
02:57I know it's awful.
02:59It's not who I want to be.
03:00So you've called the lawyers off, then?
03:06What are you actually here for?
03:08What do you want?
03:10I've had some time to think.
03:12And I feel like I understand why you couldn't be with us in Waire Katonu and why you couldn't grieve
03:17with us.
03:18What are you trying to say?
03:18We've been through all of this.
03:20Maddie, can you just let me finish?
03:21Just tell me what you want.
03:22What do you want?
03:22Are you going to let me finish?
03:25Yes.
03:29I want us, Maddie.
03:34What?
03:36I came back to fight for us.
03:38I came back to fight for our marriage.
03:44So, where are you at?
03:58Monique.
04:00Come on.
04:07Does it hurt here?
04:09And you fell?
04:10Yeah, I tripped over my son's toy and then, boom, I'm down.
04:14Picking up after themselves?
04:15Absolutely wild concept.
04:16Oh, tell me about it.
04:18Hey, I left my phone charger at home.
04:21What have we got?
04:22A trip and fall curie malleolar fracture.
04:25This is Dr. Achari.
04:26Okay, you want an x-ray and some pain meds?
04:29Uh, is that going to take long?
04:31Well, there are loads of other patients here, too.
04:34Sage, we'll bring you back some painkillers.
04:36ASAP.
04:37Excuse me, Dr. Achari.
04:38Sorry.
04:39Do you have a phone charger I could borrow?
04:42I will see what I can find.
04:45I've noted the change between us.
04:47It's keeping the boundary intact.
04:48Which is what I requested, and I believe we both needed the reminder at the time.
04:53We're all good, Crane.
04:55Your tone is unconvincing.
04:58I'll work on that, too.
05:01The boundary was put in place to prevent anyone from getting hurt,
05:04and I now believe that I may have let things err on the side of too clinical.
05:09No, not you.
05:13You are stunning.
05:18It's a nice thing to say.
05:19No, it is the undisputable truth.
05:25I, um, I'd better get back to it.
05:29Oh, don't forget you got chemo at 3.45 today.
05:32And are you feeling more like an Uno or like a Monopoly deal kind of vibe?
05:34Hey, I don't need a chaperone, and I don't need a PA.
05:37Okay, okay.
05:38Sheesh, everyone's so testy today.
05:44It feels strange being here.
05:46It feels strange having you here.
05:48Do you want me to go?
05:50I invited you in.
05:52Like a vampire.
05:56How's your mum?
05:58I mean, she's, like, suffocating me, and I kind of want to suffocate her back.
06:02But she's excited in her own way.
06:04Sorry.
06:05No, I, no, I didn't mean, she's fine.
06:10And the baby's doing well?
06:12Yeah.
06:13Yep.
06:14All healthy.
06:16Would you want the...
06:1727th.
06:20Nasa, I, I, I don't know what to say.
06:23Uh, tea, coffee, water?
06:25Sure.
06:27How's the weather in the mount?
06:29Is this really what you want to talk about?
06:31Well, I haven't been there since before COVID.
06:36It's great.
06:41And just think about it, you know, we could be together as a family, and we could stop paying
06:49lawyers to make our lives a living hell, and we could just be together.
06:58I've missed the kids so much.
07:03And me?
07:06Yeah, of course.
07:07I never wanted to be apart.
07:11I'm not, I'm not making a dig, I'm just saying.
07:17You know, when we lost Porta Key, I shouldn't have shut you out.
07:24So when we lost our second baby, I knew that we needed to grieve together.
07:31No, no, Mari, I needed you.
07:35And I know it's hard for you to be down there and everything, but that place and those people,
07:41they're a part of me.
07:43I don't know why you don't get that.
07:44So, you don't forgive me for that?
07:46And my feelings just don't come into it, do they?
07:48Really?
07:49Were you thinking about my feelings when you went and slept with Rachel?
07:53And, and Libby having her swanning around?
07:55Is this what we're doing here?
07:56Just rehashing every stupid thing we've ever done?
07:58No, I'm trying to move forward.
08:02Yeah.
08:05Right.
08:12Apple? Carrot?
08:13I'm fine.
08:14Well, you've got to get your veggies and your constipation is a real issue.
08:17Nah, stop, stop.
08:19Stop.
08:23I'm really sorry.
08:24Okay.
08:26I am sorry for what I did to you.
08:29I hate myself for it.
08:30And I honestly, I never, ever meant to hurt you.
08:33And I wish I could take it all back, but I can't.
08:35I have to live with this for the rest of my life.
08:37But can we, can we please stop pretending?
08:44You're done.
08:46I just, I don't know what else to say.
08:50Is this what you meant when you said you wanted to make things right?
08:53I just, I wanted to tell you.
08:55Because it's actually kind of insulting.
09:00You really think an apology negates everything you've done?
09:03No, I...
09:04I loved you.
09:06I gave up everything for you, for us, our baby.
09:11Why?
09:13I don't know.
09:15That's not good enough.
09:18Do you have any idea what it has been like for me?
09:23I turned my back on my family.
09:26Sacrificed everything for you, all for you, to make you happy.
09:30And now I've lost everything.
09:33My parents, my brother, my best friend, all for you.
09:39I went back to Pakistan, did you know that?
09:43They wouldn't even speak to me.
09:48And now I have nothing.
09:51Naz...
09:51And now I've gone over it again and again in my head, and...
09:56You said you loved me.
10:00And then there's lying.
10:02And then there's lying.
10:05Making me believe that we were having a child together, the one thing I wanted more than anything.
10:14You couldn't have been more cruel even if I tried.
10:19First incision done.
10:22Your first open appendectomy?
10:24Yeah.
10:25Watched a few online, too.
10:27We've been on you for studying and being prepared.
10:29You're lucky you're ruptured.
10:31You get to see it in real life.
10:32Not so lucky for the patient.
10:34Well, he's got me.
10:34He'll be all right.
10:36Curved mosquito?
10:38Cody, you can take the suction.
10:41Really?
10:41I haven't done that before.
10:43Well, how else are you going to learn?
10:44I'm having just to watch Vili.
10:45We'll talk you through it.
10:50Okay.
10:57Get closer.
10:59You need to make sure I can see what I'm doing.
11:00Mm-hmm.
11:02Get closer.
11:06Jesus, not that close.
11:07You're going to perf the bowel.
11:08Yeah, yeah, I got it.
11:09Sorry.
11:09If you can't hack a step back, Cody, let the men do the work.
11:16How are you going?
11:17Do you feel any nausea, dizziness or discomfort?
11:21No, so far so good.
11:22Okay, your temp is 36.8.
11:25It's not too bad, but your BP's a bit low.
11:27Oh, I'm probably just having had enough water.
11:29I can go and get you some.
11:31No, I'm all good.
11:32Okay, well, you're stable.
11:34Juice, maybe?
11:35Ah, no.
11:36Sage is coming in.
11:37He'll bring on all the essentials.
11:38And then some, I'm sure.
11:40But buzz me if you need anything again.
11:41Mm-hmm.
12:04I'll, uh, catch you up.
12:07Let me guess he wants to start a Shorten Street TikTok.
12:10Don't pretend you know what that is.
12:13You think I'm flying in the dark, don't you?
12:15When have I ever said that?
12:17Well, a little support would be nice for once.
12:19Well, it was my support when he was sidelining me.
12:21You didn't even give me a heads up.
12:23I didn't know about that.
12:24You stood there and backed that teenager while he eviscerated my character.
12:28You are being a little dramatic.
12:32Look, I know your ego has been battered, but you're a surgeon.
12:36Now you can focus on what you're best at.
12:38Don't try to placate me.
12:40It's not about my ego.
12:41I trust him to do the job.
12:43By punishing me?
12:44Not everything is about you, Chris.
12:47And in the meantime, if a colleague needs a supportive ear, call an HR, okay?
12:52Optics, huh?
12:53You know what this is really about?
12:55It's trust.
12:57And you don't trust me.
12:59Do you trust me as CEO?
13:12Is that your lawyer?
13:15No.
13:16Gia says they're putting on a show.
13:19And Kiwa is quite the diva director, apparently.
13:23Went on for a whole half an hour.
13:26Was it about dragons?
13:28Well, Piggy is wearing some wings, so...
13:32The saga continues.
13:35You know, if you want to know what happens with Dr. Drack and his pet dragon, then...
13:39We should just put aside our problems and get back together.
13:43You're not going to tell what happens.
13:46Yes.
13:47Can't we just work this out?
13:49You know, like, you and me, don't you want it to go back to help us?
13:57I hope you're thirsty, because Mama's got the juice.
14:02Sorry, I didn't know you had company.
14:06I was going to get a glass.
14:10You know what, the bottle's just fine.
14:13You need to leave my house.
14:15Can I just have a shower?
14:16No.
14:17Change my shoes?
14:18Go, now.
14:29What the hell, Marty?
14:30I'm not going to let her be homeless when I've got a perfectly good spare room.
14:35How many more?
14:36More what?
14:37Women.
14:38Buzzing around here.
14:40No wonder you're so chicked out.
14:47Bobby.
14:53Hey, uh...
14:54Now's not really a great time.
14:57Everything's okay.
15:00Look, I'll call you...
15:11So you've moved on?
15:12You and Papa are together?
15:15Well, not together.
15:19You really think I can move on after what happened?
15:24I'm...
15:25Tried.
15:28Tried to forget you.
15:29Tried to move on.
15:33But I'm broken, Monique.
15:37You can see that, right?
15:41You broke me.
15:50What was this?
15:52If you open it, you'll find out.
15:57Massage therapy can enhance recovery, reduce pain, improve mental well-being, and support overall homeostasis.
16:04You seem tense.
16:08You're very welcome.
16:10Thanks.
16:13Unfortunately, there is a small fracture to the outside of your ankle bone.
16:16We'll put you on a cast, and then the fracture clinic will follow up.
16:20Amelia?
16:21Amelia?
16:25Amelia, wake up.
16:26I'm just going to do your blood pressure, okay?
16:31Oh, no.
16:33Shit, shit, shit.
16:35Stay with me, Amelia.
16:40She's in DKA.
16:41What?
16:42She's unresponsive.
16:43How is this mist set up for insulin infusion now?
16:46What about her CGM?
16:48With sugar at 48.
16:50Isn't that the point for them to self-monitor?
16:53What the hell is wrong with her?
16:54Go home, Dr. Achari, now.
16:56I'm fine.
16:56That was an order.
17:00Cody, you look as bad as I feel.
17:02Anything I can help with?
17:04Really?
17:06If I can be of assistance, I will, even if it's not the company line.
17:11Come on.
17:13Someone has to benefit from my many years kicking around here.
17:18Okay, I've been having trouble navigating my training with Arlo.
17:23Right.
17:24Yeah, he does have a way about him, and I'm sure it's not to everyone's tastes.
17:30Has anything happened?
17:33I won't say anything, unless you want me to.
17:35Well, I mean, yeah.
17:38And it's not just one thing.
17:39It was today in surgery.
17:40He, um...
17:42Hey, sorry.
17:43Um, look.
17:44Uh, I'm sorry that you're having issues, but, uh, perhaps HR might be a better route for this.
17:50Okay.
17:51I can call them and get a support person.
17:53No, it's all good.
17:55I do want to help.
17:56No, honestly, it's fine.
17:57Just don't worry about it.
18:04Oh, good Lord.
18:05I'm so sorry.
18:06Don't mind me.
18:08What are you doing working so late?
18:10Well, I've got nowhere else to go, do I?
18:12Marty's iron fisted ex kicked me out.
18:14Oh.
18:15Never mind.
18:16Where there's a libby, there's a way.
18:18That's something my mum used to say.
18:19Yeah, I don't doubt that.
18:21You're far from home.
18:22Are you lost?
18:23No, I'm not lost.
18:26Chemo.
18:27It's not fun, is it?
18:29But at least you'll be saving on your power bills, and you'll be glowing in the dark.
18:33Oh, no, that's radiation, right?
18:35Mum had chemo.
18:37It can actually make your poos and wheeze radioactive.
18:39Not that that necessarily helps you see, unless you're looking in the toilet.
18:44What the hell?
18:46You're sick.
18:47You're sick.
18:50Actually, um, mum used to suck on fruit juice when she had it.
18:54And I used to love it, because it would stop her yapping.
18:56But apparently it helps with mouth sores.
19:00Oh, good way to go.
19:01Thanks for the tip.
19:03And, uh, thanks for the laughter.
19:06Anytime.
19:07Well, off to the on-call room for me for the night.
19:11Night.
19:12Night.
19:19Tough day.
19:22Tough working for an android.
19:25Hey.
19:26What did she tell you?
19:28Rain.
19:29Nothing.
19:31Sage told me.
19:33God, he's annoying sometimes.
19:35He just cares.
19:36So do I.
19:38This is about Naz.
19:42Why did I even go there?
19:43Can't help her, you love.
19:46But how much easier would it be if you could, right?
19:49Monique will always be there.
19:51She's having his baby.
19:53I mean, I should have known.
19:55It's embarrassing.
19:56You didn't know she was coming back.
19:57Yeah.
19:59Even if it did work out with us,
20:00I'd never be number one.
20:03It's always going to be her.
20:05Okay, I think you're being a little hard on yourself.
20:08Going into something that I knew exactly how messed up it all was.
20:12I've got no one else to blame but myself.
20:14You were falling in love.
20:16No one controls that.
20:17Yeah, but if someone waves a massive red flag right in your face,
20:23you'd need to realise it will end.
20:27When it does.
20:29It sucks.
20:33Yeah.
20:37Libby didn't leave that bottle of wine, did she?
20:41She would have necked the whole thing, Blenya.
20:44I may have been a little hard.
20:50I don't know where she'll sleep tonight.
20:52Well, I don't care.
20:54Do you have anything to drink?
20:55Under the sink, behind the cleaning stuff.
20:58I had to hide it from she who shall not be named.
21:01I'm surprised you didn't sniff it out.
21:07So.
21:09We can work it out.
21:13I don't know.
21:14In time, maybe.
21:16Or how much time?
21:19I don't know, as I never thought we'd be here.
21:24So what now?
21:27I don't know.
21:29Well, we can't pretend like none of this happened.
21:32I don't think I haven't tried.
21:34I don't have any expectations of any of it.
21:36I should hope not.
21:39Um.
21:41Okay.
21:43Okay, maybe, yeah, maybe I should go.
21:45If that's what you want?
21:46Well, you clearly want me to.
21:47Well, I never said that.
21:48It's fine.
21:49I get it.
21:49I wouldn't want that.
21:50Just, just stop.
21:51Just, no, I, I feel bad enough as it is, okay?
21:55I can't do this anymore.
21:57I've tried.
21:59I think I've tried to hate you.
22:00Believe me, I have.
22:01But I just, I can't.
22:03It's okay, because I, I really, I hate myself enough about the best.
22:08I don't.
22:10As crazy as it sounds, I, I still love you.
22:17I, I, I, I love you too.
22:30Whatever you need, I'm willing to do whatever it takes.
22:36Do you still love me?
22:37Yes, do.
22:39Do you?
22:44I...
22:47Did you say it?
22:50I don't know if I can love you anymore.
