00:05Esther, we need to talk.
00:06Talk to him, my lawyer.
00:12Esther, you feel okay?
00:14Never better.
00:15Well, it's good to have you back.
00:17We'll see.
00:25Esther, I wasn't expecting you. How have you been?
00:28I'm not here for small talk. I want my old job back.
00:31Head of surgery.
00:32That's a big ask.
00:35As I'm sure you're aware, Naz is in the role now and it's not as simple as...
00:38It's exactly that simple.
00:40You gave her my job while I was on bereavement leave, so now you can give her back.
00:43I understand how you feel, but barging and hearing...
00:45I'd be grateful that I'm not gunning for your job too, Rachel.
00:47That used to be mine as well.
00:49And maybe remember whose venou this hospital stands on.
00:52I wasn't asking if I could come back. I was telling you where I belong.
00:55I'll see what I can do.
00:59Actually, while you're here, we're a little short and surgical.
01:03Any chance you could step in just while I get that sorted?
01:07Sure.
01:08Give you time to sort out my contract by no later than tomorrow.
01:11Thanks.
01:15I'm not bringing in a toaster for you.
01:17Right, so I just have to accept cold toast.
01:19I'm sure you've managed worse.
01:20Insult to injury is what it is.
01:23What about that porridge stuff?
01:25Oh, so you're asking for more of, oh, what did you call it?
01:28A vomit's vomit with a rumour of odes?
01:30God, you're dramatic.
01:31You begged to be moved to surgical.
01:33And you begged for me to keep you company.
01:35Now you want me to faint from malnutrition and break all my brittle bones.
01:39Oh, you do not have brittle bones.
01:40You have a displaced bimalleular fracture.
01:42Sage, I am glass.
01:44Since when did you become so precious?
01:46You make Regina George like an angel incarnate.
01:48Don't compare me to one of your self-entitled friends.
01:51I should be so lucky.
01:52Come on.
01:53Can you fluff my cushion a bit?
01:56Look, I pay my taxes.
01:59I've taken care of sick people my whole life.
02:01It's my turn now.
02:04Okay, what is it now?
02:05Extra cushion, por favor.
02:07Do not encourage him.
02:09Good practice for when that baby comes.
02:11My offspring is not going to be some aging princess demanding fluffed pillows.
02:14Look, all I'm asking is that my dietary needs be taken seriously.
02:18Okay, toast temperature is not a dietary requirement.
02:21Okay, I'm taking the tray, but then I'm going back to ED.
02:22I know you can't leave me in here with it.
02:24You any good at foot massage, Selina?
02:26I'm just going to fix your pillows and that's it.
02:28No, no, no, don't enable him.
02:29I am appeasing him because do you want to touch those manky feet?
02:31Actually, no.
02:35I'd like to start by acknowledging the success of Paul's new marketing campaign.
02:40Revenue is up 20% in plastics in the fertility clinic.
02:43Engagement is through the roof.
02:45The campaign is working.
02:48Well done.
02:49Very innovative.
02:50I appreciate that, Chris.
02:52And the good news keeps coming.
02:54We have just signed a sponsorship deal with Fitburger.
02:58Billy Army.
02:58I'm sorry, who?
03:00Fitburger.
03:00They're the hospital's new power partner.
03:02Their new plant-based range aligns perfectly with our wellness values.
03:06Wellness values from a burger chain.
03:09Exactly.
03:09Cross-sector synergy.
03:11The logo will appear on Scrub starting next week.
03:13Please tell me I don't have to wear that.
03:15You're all wearing it.
03:16It's called brand cohesion.
03:16I didn't do 15 years of medicine to sell cheeseburgers.
03:20It's just a logo.
03:21We're endorsing fast food in a hospital.
03:24Not fast.
03:25Functional.
03:27Their new Fit Friend burgers are under 500 calories.
03:29Yeah, before chips.
03:30What's next?
03:31Fried chicken operating theaters.
03:33Not a bad idea.
03:34I'm joking.
03:36Calm down.
03:36Okay, let's move on before Chris has a coronary.
03:39Already halfway there.
03:42BP's 85 over 60.
03:43Pulse 110.
03:45After a pain, guarding low pressure.
03:48Could be sepsis.
03:49Maybe something perforated.
03:50We need to stabilize before imaging.
03:52Then stabilize.
03:52What's your plan?
03:54Fluid bolus.
03:54One liter of saline.
03:56Fast.
03:56Good.
03:57Commit to it.
03:59Can I hook you, my bro?
04:02Hey.
04:03Nice work with Ash.
04:04He works well under you.
04:06He needs firm guidance.
04:07I can give it to him.
04:08Compared to what?
04:09My soft guidance.
04:11Different people need different teaching tactics.
04:13And as you pointed out, James responds well to mine.
04:16Okay, but you've been off with me all morning.
04:18What's going on?
04:19Off?
04:20No, I'm operating at normal efficiency.
04:22Come on, you've barely looked me in the eye.
04:25Look, I feel so upset about what happened with Phil.
04:26I get it.
04:27I was out of line.
04:28No, I filed that under unproductive conflict.
04:31So this isn't punishment for me having feelings?
04:34I don't do punishment.
04:35I do work.
04:35And right now we have an ED full of patients.
04:38Okay then, so what is it?
04:39Because you are acting like I'm radioactive.
04:41Can we please just get through this shift, Maeve?
04:43Yeah.
04:44Okay.
04:49Oh, okay.
04:51Antioxidants, vitamin D, cut the caffeine.
04:54Oh, cut the caffeine.
04:55You're trying to kill me before I even ovulate.
04:56I'm saying optimize, not suffer.
04:58We totally got this.
04:59No, we don't got this, Sage.
05:00You know how much I have you cost?
05:02And I can't even afford it.
05:03I'm not 25 anymore.
05:04And my eggs are practically hot cross buns after Easter.
05:08Mm, still good toasted, though.
05:10No, they are toasted.
05:11They're fine.
05:11You're fine.
05:12Trust me.
05:13Ah, so you're the sperm guy, right?
05:15Donating the baby better?
05:17That's really gross.
05:18What?
05:18I just mean, are you going to do it the old-fashioned way?
05:21Ew.
05:21No.
05:22It's a process.
05:24Maybe I could help you out.
05:25I mean, if you wanted to skip the paperwork, I've got strong genes, stamina of a racehorse.
05:29Yeah, face of one, too.
05:30Huh.
05:31He likes me.
05:32You're on, bro.
05:33Thanks, mate.
05:33It's a joke.
05:35Everyone's so sensitive these days.
05:38That guy's a walking HR complaint.
05:40No, he's actually a really good guy.
05:41I want you to get to know him.
05:43He means well.
05:45Seriously, bro, just find better mates.
05:47Mm.
05:47Oh, also, I've ordered some books for you on egg optimization, your supplements, test,
05:51nutrition, and I've booked my bloods, too.
05:53Okay, well, that still costs money.
05:54We can crowdfund it.
05:55Project Ovary, help us fertilize the dream.
05:58Okay, please never say that again.
05:59It's too late.
06:00I've already signed the loan.
06:01Oh, my God.
06:01You are ridiculous.
06:03And you are having a baby one way or another.
06:09Hey, sorry I made things weird the other night.
06:12You didn't.
06:14Maeve was pretty pissed.
06:15She thought we were flirting.
06:17God, we were just having a laugh.
06:18That's precisely what I told her.
06:20But it's causing trouble.
06:22No.
06:24So?
06:26So, what?
06:27Why do you look like a dog in a car wash?
06:31I just, I don't want to upset Maeve.
06:33By talking?
06:35It's just, it's more complicated than you think.
06:38Or is it some kind of rule thing you have with your wife?
06:41I need to get back to ED.
06:45It's absurd.
06:47Fast food sponsorship in a hospital.
06:49And everyone's saying, oh, they're just scribes.
06:51Yeah, but what's next?
06:53Branded linen?
06:54Syringes sponsored by soft drinks?
06:56Hm.
06:56Give it time.
06:58Next month, we'll be voicing ads in surgery.
07:01This appendectomy brought to you by Fitburger.
07:04Well, I, for one, refuse to be a human billboard.
07:11You're kidding me.
07:13Well, I like their burgers.
07:14I thought you, of all people, would agree this Fitburger deal is hypocrisy at its worst.
07:19It is what it is, Chris.
07:20I'm not going to lose any sleep, my brat.
07:25Has everyone gone mad?
07:29Tiena koe.
07:30You must be the famous Dr. Samuels.
07:32I'm Isabella Dove.
07:34Everyone calls me Izzy.
07:35My mum's Miriam Ropata.
07:37Kia ora, Izzy.
07:38How is your mum?
07:39Oh, still bossing her registers around.
07:41She'll be stoked that you're back.
07:42Yeah, Miriam's been bossing people around since mid-school.
07:45Well, it must run in the family.
07:47We'll see.
07:49Having a wahine maori here, it's inspiring.
07:51It's what your mum did for me.
07:53And you continue to pave the way for the rest of us to come through.
07:56Then I will try not to disappoint.
08:00Get this ass.
08:01Told you rizzing doesn't work on her.
08:03Ugh, no one uses the word rizz any more, syphilis.
08:05She's going to see right through you, just like I did.
08:08You're just jealous because Esther and me are already tight.
08:11Whatever.
08:13Thank you for helping us out.
08:15I heard you spoke to Rachel about coming back.
08:17Because I'm willing to job share.
08:19I'm done sharing.
08:21And this roster is a mess, so I will be reassigning surgeries.
08:25But I've locked those down.
08:27Thanks for covering while I've been away.
08:29But don't think you can do my job better than me.
08:38Okay.
08:39Wow.
08:40Told you.
08:40She's not going to fall for your BS.
08:46If this is about Fitburger, save me the sermon.
08:49I've already had an earful from Marty and the dieticians.
08:51Not a sermon.
08:52It's common sense.
08:53We are a hospital.
08:54Not an advertising opportunity for saturated fat.
08:57I know.
08:58And you're right.
08:59I am?
09:01Absolutely.
09:02It's tacky.
09:03It's hypocritical.
09:04It's everything you hate.
09:05Great.
09:06So put a stop to it.
09:07Sure.
09:08Just find me $2.4 million by Friday.
09:10By Friday?
09:11That's the cost of the new MRI that Paul's deal comfortably covers.
09:15Unless you've got a spare yacht you can sell.
09:17I don't own a yacht.
09:20No, not anymore.
09:21Well, then my hands are tied.
09:24And I managed to rein Paul in from what he actually wanted to do, so you're welcome.
09:29Are you seriously suggesting I should be grateful?
09:31Chris, the era where you could whip out your checkbook and save the day is over.
09:36Well, that's not fair.
09:36Well, neither is running a hospital during a government funding freeze.
09:40Find the money for the MRI and the Fitburger deal goes away.
09:43Otherwise, this is how we survive.
09:46So that's it.
09:46We just sell out our principles, one combo deal at a time.
09:51If it means patients get the care they need, then yeah, this is what we do.
09:57For what it's worth, I agree with you.
10:00I just live in the real world.
10:01Maybe I prefer the old one.
10:03I did too.
10:08Oh, pressure's still low.
10:10Yeah, that's not right.
10:11I should have rallied a bit after the fluids.
10:13Well, he's had the whole lead up.
10:15Did it actually go in?
10:17Well, the line's leaking.
10:19How long has it been like that?
10:21Well, it looked fine.
10:22You didn't check for flashback?
10:24Fix it.
10:24Cindy, new cannula, wide bore.
10:26Let's get him stable so we can get him to CT.
10:28Oh, no.
10:29Small mistakes become big ones.
10:30Don't let it happen again.
10:32We're all learning.
10:33That's how we get better.
10:34Nice work, teotoka.
10:35Good catch.
10:36That's how it's done.
10:40Status?
10:41Patient's stable.
10:42Keep fluids running until imaging's cleared.
10:45Got it.
10:48What?
10:49Nothing.
10:50It's just nice to see you've stopped moping.
10:52I was not moping.
10:53I was just...
10:55Yeah, okay.
10:56I was moping.
10:57Yeah, it probably didn't help much.
10:59If I can't do it, no one can.
11:00You're not wrong, though.
11:02Most relationships are domed.
11:04Most.
11:04Not all.
11:06Mine's not even technically a relationship, so...
11:08Maybe you're out of the woods.
11:10Mm.
11:11Maybe.
11:15Oh, for God's sake.
11:17Chris, I was just looking for you.
11:18Who thought this was a good idea?
11:20This is surgical, not a shopping mall.
11:22Look, I just need to talk to you.
11:23Oh, yeah, that's perfect.
11:24That's really going to relax people on the way to theater.
11:26Let's just try to take my job.
11:29Of course she is.
11:31Look, I offered to job share, but she shut me down.
11:33She can't just take it.
11:34Can she?
11:36Honestly?
11:37Who knows anymore?
11:38It seems like everyone's just doing whatever the hell they want around here.
11:40Well, surely stripping me of my role without solid grounds isn't legal.
11:44How's that right now?
11:45I am fighting a war with an out-of-control marketing manager and a giant fast food conglomerate.
11:51And I'm about to lose everything!
11:52Well, I'm sure you and Esther can work it out.
11:55I'm not.
11:59Unbelievable.
12:01I used to run this place.
12:04Check this out.
12:05It's incredible.
12:06That morphine's definitely kicking in, huh?
12:09This is my ready-for-discharge look.
12:11Well, you've taken her foot out of the bed, so...
12:13Sorry, Emmett.
12:15Your surgery's been pushed to tomorrow.
12:17Trauma's come in and bumped you.
12:19Right.
12:19So my last supper of cold toast was a waste of time.
12:22That's the real tragedy here.
12:25You know, if I wasn't off my chops, I'd go after Naz and kick his arse myself.
12:30Get in line.
12:30You'd make it halfway down the corridor before asking me for a tissue.
12:34You're supposed to have my back.
12:35I do.
12:36Keeping you horizontal is part of my job description.
12:39Then give me the PCA key.
12:40No.
12:41No more morphine for you for the next 20 minutes.
12:43You've changed.
12:44And you've dribbled on your gown.
12:45Again.
12:46Glad to see everyone's thriving.
12:48Remember what I said about Naz, Pop?
12:51Naz, Pop.
12:52You want me to sort them out for you?
12:54It's not just Naz.
12:56It's my dad's anniversary today.
12:59When he died.
13:00Oh, I'm so sorry, Poppy.
13:02Naz getting back with Mon.
13:03It's just icing on the cake.
13:05That's rough.
13:06Yeah, I'm fine.
13:07Mum's coming in soon.
13:09Make sure you're looking forward to it.
13:10Oh, that'll be...
13:12That'll be nice.
13:13Tell her to bring some decent food in, eh?
13:15Okay, I am this close to calling HR on you for abuse of power.
13:18Abuse of...
13:19I don't have any power.
13:20I'm being held hostage.
13:22Hostage?
13:22With a personal pillow-fluffing service.
13:29You've got that look.
13:31What look?
13:32Like you're about to try and get out of something.
13:35It's nothing like that.
13:36It's just...
13:37Something's come up on Thursday.
13:39Well, you're rostered on the afternoon list and I'm not covering.
13:42I wasn't going to ask you.
13:44Actually.
13:45I'll just ask Esther.
13:47August, what do we go?
13:48Kia ora, Esther.
13:49Pihi akui.
13:49I've got a quick partai, if you've got a second.
13:52Yeah?
13:53Kata fia?
13:54So, I've been invited to this hui this week.
13:57It's for Wahine Maori content creators.
13:58Really amazing kaupapa around storytelling and leadership.
14:02A storyteller, all right.
14:05I'd love to go.
14:06It's just...
14:08I'm rostered on for Thursday, Arvo.
14:10Right.
14:11I really don't want to let anyone down, especially you.
14:15Opportunities like this don't come up often for Wahine like us.
14:18I can pick up extra lists next week.
14:20I just think it would mean a lot.
14:23Showing that we can exist in both spaces, you know?
14:25Well, if you think it's worthwhile, then Phil can cover for you.
14:30Then I'd like to kui, Dr. Samuels.
14:33Uh, that is not fair.
14:35Life's not fair, Phil.
14:36Deal with it.
14:42Are you there?
14:44Mum.
14:51Hey.
14:52Hey.
14:55I have come down from the cloud.
14:57What?
14:59Drugs have worn off.
15:00My phone's full of daft photos.
15:03Are you threatening to bring in Marianne today?
15:06Yeah, she's at a resort.
15:08Can't get away just yet.
15:09Classic Marianne.
15:10She thought it was a kind of luck spa mini-break,
15:13but she accidentally booked a silent retreat.
15:16Oh, I'd pay to see that.
15:18Yeah, I think she got sprung.
15:19Was spring on the phone just now.
15:20Anyway, I'm sure she sends her best.
15:22Don't feel bad, she managed to forget about me too.
15:25You?
15:25I'm the one who's laid up.
15:27Yeah, no, it's not a thing.
15:29It's just my dad's anniversary.
15:31Oh.
15:33Okay.
15:34You okay?
15:35Yeah.
15:35Yeah, I'm fine.
15:36I mean, I didn't know him that well.
15:38It was mum that raised me, so.
15:40Yeah, right.
15:41She even gets all funny when I refer to him as dad.
15:43Says he didn't earn that name.
15:45Yeah.
15:48Well, sometimes it's a bit hard to step up to the plate.
15:51Oh, here she is again.
15:53You want to talk?
15:54Oh, no.
15:55I'm on silent retreat.
15:59Stay there, you smug bastard.
16:03What are you looking at?
16:04What the hell are you doing?
16:06Tidying up.
16:07They're a tripping hazard.
16:09You know, I can just print more, right?
16:10You'll waste even more money on these ridiculous eyesores.
16:14Sure, I'll just take it out of your budget.
16:15Well, you can't do that.
16:17You know, everyone keeps telling me you're a legend around here.
16:19Hard to see it when you're vandalising hospital property like a teenager.
16:22I prefer to think of it as hazard reduction.
16:25Well, you've made your point, so get them out.
16:29Well, I would.
16:30But that would be against health and safety.
16:32It isn't a joke.
16:33Neither is this hospital.
16:36This isn't over.
16:47We need to call a board meeting.
16:49About what?
16:50About all of it.
16:51About the Fitburgers and the branded scrubs and the billboards.
16:55Paul's making a mockery of this hospital.
16:57The board are okay with it.
16:59Well, they shouldn't be.
17:00I'm the CEO, Chris.
17:02What I say goes.
17:03And if you could refrain from vandalising any more cutouts, that'd be great.
17:06Is that what Paul said?
17:08He forwarded me the CCTV footage.
17:10I can see the memes already.
17:15Delivery for you, Dr Warner.
17:19Oh, my.
17:24Well, at least you got your good side.
17:28It's shorter than me.
17:30Maybe it's life-size from Paul's perspective.
17:36You bastard.
17:37Bastard.
17:50You're soaked.
17:51It's raining.
17:53Yeah, I gathered that.
17:56I thought that tonight was your night to call Astrid.
17:59It was.
18:07We had a fight.
18:09About what?
18:11You.
18:13She thinks I'm not emotionally available.
18:16Except when it comes to you.
18:19Me?
18:20I didn't tell her about you soon enough, Maeve.
18:24She thinks I've crossed a line.
18:28Have you?
18:30Yes.
18:32You told me that this couldn't be emotional.
18:35Those were your rules.
18:37I know.
18:39I didn't plan a contingency for this.
18:44Maeve, I'm in...
18:45No, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't say it.
18:48Why?
18:48Don't say something that'll only make this harder.
18:50I can't keep pretending this doesn't matter anymore.
18:55You should go home.
18:57I don't want to.
19:01Go home and sort things with your wife.
19:06Right.
19:22Women say they want a nice guy, but really, they just want a challenge.
19:26Or maybe they just want someone who treats them well.
19:27Well, it's almost as boring as nice.
19:30You're proof, Big V.
19:31Eric's shagged a priest yet.
19:33Thanks for the reminder.
19:34You were too nice.
19:35All I'm saying is a little bit of attitude.
19:37Women, eat it up.
19:39Oh, no, just you wait.
19:41I haven't replied to Libby all night, but she'll still come home with me like that.
19:44I hate that guy.
19:46Sorry, I just posted that fundraiser and check it out.
19:49Donation's coming in.
19:50You actually did that?
19:51Yeah, told you.
19:52Project Overeign is live.
19:53Okay, please tell me you didn't call it that.
19:55Yeah, it's catchy.
19:57Like ringworm.
20:00Oh, hello.
20:01Hi, babe.
20:03Can I get you a drink?
20:04I'm pretty knackered.
20:05Want to come back to mine?
20:06Um, I did tell Selena that I would have drinks with...
20:09Whatever, you're lost.
20:11Okay, twist my arm.
20:14Safer for the bedroom, Libby?
20:15Oh, you.
20:22You wanted to see me?
20:24Aye.
20:25In the hall.
20:29I just wanted to check in and see how you're finding things here.
20:32Oh, I mean, it's so much better having you here.
20:35Yeah, it's like I actually have a tuakana in the hospital now.
20:40You know, someone who's got my back.
20:41Tēnā koe.
20:43Look, on that note, I didn't want to say this in front of Phil, but that influence of who you're
20:47of yours?
20:48Skipping theatre for something like that isn't a good look.
20:50But it's about representation.
20:52Let's be honest, Izzy.
20:54It's about you selling scrubs.
20:55And I need you to understand that we don't get to look flaky, not here, not ever.
21:01So I can't go now, then?
21:02What I'm saying is there aren't many wahine Māori who are surgeons, so maybe remember whose
21:07shoulders you're standing on to be here.
21:09I'm sure they're counting on you to be your best.
21:11You sound exactly like my mother.
21:13Well, maybe Miriam is right.
21:16Cool.
21:17So what?
21:18Now you're on my case too.
21:19Pull your head and Izzy, you're a ropata.
21:21I am tired of people telling me how to be a good Māori.
21:34I am doing the exact same work as everyone else.
21:37Why isn't that enough?
21:38Because it isn't enough.
21:40We have to work twice as hard just to stay in the room.
21:44I am sick of this kōrero.
21:46Well then, be better.
21:48Okay, show me.
21:49Show everyone, but do it in theatre, not on socials.
21:53Whatever.
21:54You have no idea what I'm doing out there.
21:56I am trying to help you.
21:58Help?
21:59You're just pissed.
22:01Because you used to be someone around here.
22:04You were CEO and you lost it.
22:06And now, some Pākehā woman sits where you're used to.
22:10Tōwaha, kōtiro.
22:12You all G?
22:14You seem unwellfire.
22:17Maybe you should, in a way, take a rest.
22:20Or you wouldn't want to strain that stolen heart of yours.
