00:01We've raised nearly $200 from the surf club and diner sales alone.
00:06And Colleen reckons there's heaps more orders on the way.
00:09At this rate, I reckon we'll have the helpline up and running by next week.
00:15Gloria Carson asked me to give you a course. She needs somebody to cover a shift.
00:18Yeah, look, I'd love to, but I don't think I can.
00:21Well, the thing is, we just had an MVA come in and everyone's really run off their feet.
00:24Could you grab another nurse and give meds to Mrs. Perkins and Mr. Harvey?
00:28Also, I need you to do it with yourself for Mrs. Sharp and she's due for her insulin.
00:39I was just making Mrs. Sharp's bed and I found this in the bedsheets.
00:43And no wonder she arrested.
00:45Who gave this to her?
00:47James.
00:54How good was that breakfast? I could quite easily go another one.
00:57Yeah, but then I'd have to roll you out the door.
00:59What happened to the good old days of being able to use eating for two as an excuse?
01:03People figured out it was a con.
01:05Hey guys, did you see this? There's another call on Cassie and the helpline.
01:08Oh, that's good publicity.
01:09Yeah, people are really getting behind it.
01:11You all ready for your first day?
01:13I think so, yeah. We've only got one counsellor on, but I think that should be enough.
01:17Anyway, I'd better get down there, so.
01:18Well, tell Cassie I say good luck.
01:20Yeah.
01:21Yeah, good luck.
01:24Is everything okay?
01:26Yeah, I'm just a bit tired. Yesterday's shift was huge.
01:28Yeah, all that saving lines would exhaust anyone.
01:31Why don't we pack a picnic and go down to the park for the morning?
01:33Sounds perfect.
01:42Hey.
01:42Hi.
01:43Um, is James around?
01:44Yeah.
01:45Yeah, hey, Rach, I'm here.
01:46Hi.
01:47Um, can we talk privately, please?
01:48Is everything okay?
01:49Yeah, it's about work.
01:50Oh, um, I'll go for a walk.
02:00James, we found the empty vial of insulin that you gave Mrs Sharpe last night.
02:04Yeah, so?
02:05Well, were you aware that it was the wrong medication?
02:07It's what induced her cardiac arrest.
02:12Well, everything's all ready to go in here, and you're okay to do the whole shift?
02:15Yeah, absolutely.
02:16Cool.
02:17Hey, guys.
02:18Hey, Maddie, this is Brian.
02:20He's the counsellor today.
02:21Oh, nice to meet you.
02:21Nice to meet you.
02:22Cassie's done a great job setting this up, hasn't she?
02:24Yeah, it's really cool.
02:26So, when do I get to answer the phone?
02:28Well, Dan and I have scheduled a training workshop for next week, so, once we've set you up
02:32with some skills, you'll be ready to go.
02:34Yeah, until then only the counsellors get to take the calls.
02:37No worries.
02:38Hey, did you see this?
02:40No.
02:41Well.
02:42Filling a real need in the community, student crusader Cassie...
02:45Crusader?
02:46Yeah.
02:47...has set up a helpline specifically aimed at young people.
02:49Speaking from her own experience as a victim of domestic abuse, Cassie believes many teenagers
02:53would rather deal with anonymous counsellors than go to family or friends.
02:57I didn't know they were going to put that in.
02:59That's why people call these lines.
03:01They're desperate to talk to someone who can understand what they're going through.
03:05If you ask me, it's a good thing.
03:10Well, Coastal FM said they'd do an interview as well, and we also set flyers to all the
03:14community groups.
03:14Well, let's just hope one phone's going to be enough.
03:17I can't believe this is finally coming together.
03:21If you weren't up to the shift, then you should have said no.
03:23You guys were desperate.
03:25You were already short staffed.
03:26You had a serious MVA.
03:28I just didn't think I could.
03:29All right.
03:30How did this mistake happen?
03:32I'm not sure.
03:33I was in a hurry.
03:35What?
03:35You didn't bother reading the label?
03:36Of course I did.
03:39Well, I thought I did.
03:41I was confused.
03:44Please don't tell me that you had been smoking.
03:48And you still went in and treated patients.
03:50Only because I wasn't feeling that bad.
03:51You said that you'd given up.
03:52I have.
03:53It was a one off.
03:55I was seriously stressed out, all right?
03:57I'd had a huge fight with Kim.
03:59Kit was angry with me.
04:00I know this is no excuse, but I'm sorry.
04:04I never meant for any of this to happen.
04:08Well, I'm sorry too.
04:10I have to submit a critical incident report to Dr. Olivetti.
04:13Isn't there any other way?
04:15You've put a patient's life at risk.
04:16I don't have a choice.
04:19Well, at least let me tell Kit first.
04:22She deserves that much.
04:26All right.
04:28Come by the hospital after lunch and we'll talk to Jeff then.
04:42You know what they say about watchpots?
04:45The same goes for phones.
04:48I didn't expect a million calls when I thought there'd be at least one.
04:51It's the first day and it's still early.
04:54Can't expect too much.
04:55So what's the hard thing to deal with when people ring?
05:00I don't know.
05:01I guess there's been a couple of occasions when I knew we weren't going to be able to help in
05:05time.
05:06Sometimes people call and you just want to lift them out of their troubles.
05:10You know, you spend hours on the phone with them.
05:12You put them in touch with support groups.
05:13You make appointments for them.
05:15And then they don't follow through.
05:17That's really sad.
05:19They think something's wrong.
05:20Maybe they even know it, but they believe things will get better on their own.
05:24But for every person in that situation, there are plenty willing to make changes.
05:30Maybe just not right this minute.
05:33Look, guys, I'm happy to stay here by myself if you want to go and do other things.
05:37Oh, thanks, but I'd kind of like to be here for the first call.
05:41I had a feeling you'd say that.
05:44Hey, would anyone like a tea?
05:45I'd love one.
05:49Hello?
05:50Someone by helpline.
05:56They hung up.
05:57They didn't say anything.
05:59Nope.
05:59Wrong number?
06:01Maybe.
06:01Or maybe they didn't like the sound of my voice.
06:04It happens.
06:07Don't worry.
06:08It'll pick up.
06:10You know, meanwhile, we should use the quiet time to get fully organised.
06:14I'll make that tea.
06:21Is she gone?
06:23Yeah.
06:25Yeah, she's gone.
06:27So what was that all about?
06:29It seemed very tense.
06:31Uh, Mrs. Sharp.
06:33The patient from yesterday.
06:35The one you saved?
06:39Yeah.
06:42The thing is, I might have saved her, but I was also the reason why she arrested in the
06:49first place.
06:50What do you mean?
06:56I made a mistake, Kit.
07:00I gave her the wrong medication.
07:02It could have been fatal.
07:04How?
07:06I was stoned.
07:08I smoked a joint before I went to work.
07:11It was only one joint.
07:12I swear.
07:14You lied to me about giving up.
07:16I have.
07:18It was a once off.
07:19I was so stressed.
07:20I just needed a smoke to calm down.
07:21Yes, I know how it works.
07:22I'm a recovering alcoholic.
07:24Remember?
07:24It won't happen again.
07:26I promise.
07:26I trusted you.
07:29I chose you to be my birth partner instead of Kim because I trusted you.
07:33And you still can.
07:34How?
07:35You lied to me about the drugs.
07:38You almost killed a patient.
07:41How can I possibly trust you?
07:44Where are you going?
07:45Out.
07:46Kit, I've got to see the CEO of the hospital in a few minutes.
07:48Well, you better go then.
07:51Everything's going to be okay, isn't it?
07:52We can work this out, right?
07:53I don't know.
07:55Kit, listen to me.
07:56I can make this up to you.
07:57I promise.
07:58I'll do anything.
08:00Go to your meeting, James.
08:10Hey.
08:14You okay?
08:17You were right all along.
08:18What about?
08:20James is still smoking.
08:23Right.
08:24Now he's in trouble with the hospital because he went to work stoned and nearly killed a patient.
08:31Kit, look, I'm sorry.
08:32He told me that he wasn't going to do it anymore.
08:33He promised me that he'd given up.
08:35Look, he smokes dope.
08:36That's what he does.
08:37I thought he loved me enough to stop, but...
08:40I thought I was enough.
08:43Hey.
08:47You know, maybe people don't know about us.
08:49Maybe I didn't do enough publicity.
08:52Maybe you did.
08:55Hello.
08:56Some of the help line.
08:57You were talking to Brian.
08:58I'm totally confident.
09:00Yeah, no, of course.
09:01Everything is totally confidential.
09:04So, what would you like to talk about?
09:05I need help.
09:07Please.
09:07I'm having a bad headache.
09:13Yeah, it's good to know you've got the number if you need it.
09:16Thanks for your call.
09:19It's our first official prank call.
09:21Is that all they think this is for?
09:23Oh, look, you always get a few.
09:25I just train myself to be polite these days.
09:28Yeah, but this isn't a joke, you know?
09:30People actually need this service.
09:31Okay, why don't you guys take a break?
09:33Grab some lunch while you're out.
09:34Good idea, would you like anything?
09:36Yeah, whatever.
09:36In fact, fine.
09:38Seriously, Cass, you can't let it get to you.
09:42Alcohol.
09:44It's too sad for.
09:47Brian's right, you know.
09:48It's not worth worrying about.
09:49I just really thought the helpline was a great idea, you know?
09:52And it is.
09:52You just have to give it time.
09:54Hey, Tanner.
09:55Have you had any colds lately?
09:58Getting lost, Erin.
09:59Brian sounds like a real spunk.
10:02You're getting some counselling for yourself on the side?
10:05Was that you who just called the helpline?
10:07I'm sorry.
10:07That would be totally confidential.
10:10You're pathetic, you know that?
10:11Come on, Cass.
10:12You know, there are people out there who genuinely need help.
10:14When you make those calls,
10:15you're stopping them from getting through.
10:17It's just a joke.
10:18Anyway, if someone really wanted help,
10:20there's plenty of proper places to call.
10:21The helpline is a proper place.
10:23Why? Because you set it up.
10:25You think you're so special, too.
10:27Shut up.
10:27You've got no idea what you're talking about.
10:29Well, at least I don't let my boyfriend knock me around
10:31and try to make myself feel better
10:32by setting up some pathetic call centre.
10:35Let's go.
10:38Hey, Tana.
10:41Call me.
10:43You know what?
10:43She's a loser.
10:44You don't have to do
10:47You know I don't know what to do
10:52This isn't about me.
10:54Why would she say that?
10:56Because they're idiots.
10:58I'm only trying to help other kids.
10:59Look, Erin is just jealous
11:00because you're doing something good
11:01and getting recognised for it.
11:04Yeah, well, maybe she's right.
11:05Why would anyone bother calling the helpline
11:06when there are more established places around?
11:08Because this is aimed at teenagers
11:10who don't want to go to those other places.
11:11They want to talk to people who can relate to them.
11:14Now, if the helpline had been an option when you needed it,
11:17you would have used it, right?
11:18Yeah, definitely.
11:19Yeah, me too.
11:20Then maybe I wouldn't have ended up in hospital
11:22and you wouldn't have ended up a victim of domestic abuse.
11:27It's okay, you can say it.
11:29Look, I think you're being too hard on yourself.
11:31The helpline is an amazing idea.
11:33Everyone thinks so.
11:35Don't let a moron like Erin put you off.
11:37It doesn't matter how great an idea it is if no one calls.
11:41Like Brian said, it's the first day.
11:43Just give it a proper chance.
11:46Our job is to treat people,
11:48not endanger their lives once they're in here.
11:49I know that, sir.
11:51A genuine mistake is bad enough,
11:52but to be negligent due to the influence of cannabis is unforgivable.
11:57I've made a terrible mistake and I'm sorry,
12:00but all I can say is that I swear to you,
12:02it will never happen again.
12:03And yet, Dr. Armstrong informs me this isn't the first time.
12:07No.
12:07No, it's not.
12:08But the previous incident was an accident.
12:10It's not the cause that interests me, Mr. Dalton.
12:12It's the cost to the patients of what you've done.
12:14Of course.
12:15I just wonder how many more mistakes you would have allowed yourself
12:17before you addressed this problem.
12:19All I can say is that I am sorry
12:22and that I never meant to hurt anyone.
12:25Well, all right then.
12:25You will, of course, have to take a blood test
12:28to confirm that you're under the influence of drugs whilst at work.
12:31Fine.
12:32And you will go on leave until we've completed our investigation.
12:36You should also be prepared to face a hearing at nursing administration.
12:39There may be charges of negligence to come.
12:42But, Dr. Olivetti, please.
12:44I did a terrible thing, an unforgivable thing like you said,
12:47but I am deeply, deeply sorry.
12:51There must be something I can do.
12:53I can go see a DNA counsellor, take drug tests, whatever it takes.
12:58Well, I'm very glad to hear it.
13:00But you must understand that the future of your nursing career is in doubt.
13:06That'll be all.
13:10I should have known what was going on.
13:12I should have listened to you.
13:14Yeah, but you wanted to believe him.
13:15There's nothing wrong with that.
13:16I should have insisted that he had professional help.
13:18I mean, how did I think he was getting up just like that?
13:20Kit, listen to me.
13:21The guy is a liar.
13:22Oh, this isn't your fault.
13:23No, he's an addict.
13:25There is a difference.
13:26That doesn't excuse what he did.
13:27He put our baby in danger.
13:29I asked him so many times and he always said that he wasn't smoking.
13:33Exactly.
13:33He had plenty of opportunity to stop.
13:35Well, why didn't he?
13:37I know what it's like.
13:39I wouldn't have been hard on him.
13:40Because the guy is an expert at covering up.
13:42Why would he stop when he was getting away with it?
13:44Yeah, he'd probably still be doing it if he hadn't happened.
13:47I just feel so stupid.
13:49I mean, I believed all of his lies, I stood up for him,
13:52but I let it come between arson.
13:54Why would he do this?
13:57If only he could see how much I love my work.
13:59You know how important it is to me.
14:01Maybe I should go talk to him again.
14:02James, it's not going to make any difference.
14:04Why?
14:05Have there been other complaints?
14:06It was you, wasn't it?
14:07You're the one that gave my mum the wrong insulin.
14:09It was an accident.
14:10Your accident nearly killed her.
14:11Just walk away, James.
14:12What sort of idiot makes a mistake like that?
14:15I mean, read a bottle.
14:16How hard can that be?
14:17I didn't mean to do it, okay?
14:18I didn't mean it.
14:19Mr. Sharp, this isn't helping.
14:20James, James, wait!
14:31Well, I reckon we should call it a day.
14:34Yeah, we may as well.
14:35It's obvious no one's going to call.
14:37Which is a good thing when you think about it.
14:39Right, Brian?
14:40Yeah, right.
14:41It means people didn't need our help.
14:42See?
14:43Just remember it's only day one.
14:44Word will get around.
14:45And when it does, you'll be flat out.
14:47Yeah.
14:49You guys right for the time?
14:50Oh, yeah.
14:51I'm fine.
14:51I'm going home to sales.
14:52She's working back late in the office.
14:54I'd like all her fur.
14:55I'll tell you if we can do a kit tonight.
14:57All right.
14:57Well, don't bring her around for me at the time.
15:00Cass, I'll see you at the workshop next week.
15:03Yeah.
15:03Yeah, definitely.
15:04And thank you so much again for today.
15:06Okay.
15:09Hey.
15:10Cheer up.
15:11It's going to get better.
15:13I know.
15:14It's just, after all the effort we put into setting it up, you know?
15:18All the planning and the raising money and organizing counsellors.
15:23It just feels like a huge let down.
15:26Helpline may as well not even exist.
15:27Oh, well, just because they wanted to call today doesn't mean that there won't be some
15:30tomorrow.
15:32Yeah.
15:33Maybe I got it wrong.
15:35You know, maybe there isn't anyone out there who needs it.
15:37Oh, Cass, there's no way that you could know that after one day.
15:40Oh, you've done an awesome job.
15:42You should be proud of yourself.
15:46I'm gonna get going.
15:48Oh, thank you.
15:51See ya.
15:52Bye.
16:00Sarah?
16:14Hey.
16:25Did you get my message?
16:26No, I've heard my phone off.
16:28How did James go?
16:29You haven't seen him this afternoon?
16:30No.
16:30No, not for ages.
16:33Um, the kid has been suspended and he may face charges of negligence.
16:37I can't believe you'd be so stupid.
16:39He was really upset when he left the hospital.
16:42Maybe just went for a walk.
16:43Or went for a smoke.
16:45How about you?
16:47How are you feeling?
16:50James lied to me.
16:51He told me he'd stopped.
16:52I keep thinking about all these arguments that I've had with Kim and James just stood by
16:56and let Kim take it.
16:58All he had to do was be honest with me.
17:00Except you know better than anyone how difficult that is, especially with the people that you love.
17:04It's a choice.
17:05I made it.
17:06Why can't he?
17:07Kid, he was terrified he was gonna lose you.
17:10I know that James has betrayed you terribly.
17:14But don't you think he deserves a little bit of support and understanding?
17:34I don't believe this.
17:36After all the trouble you've caused, you're still getting wasted.
17:39You leave me alone.
17:39No mate, I've never understood scumbags like you.
17:41Off your head all the time, lying to people, almost killing your patient.
17:44I never meant for that to happen.
17:46You know, after everything you said to Kid, you go and hurt her.
17:48Do you have any idea how upset she is?
17:49You don't know anything about me and Kid.
17:51I know she's about to walk out on you and that's exactly what you deserve.
17:54Yeah, well that's not true.
17:55Kid loves me.
17:55She'd never do that.
17:56Mate, I wouldn't count on it.
17:58You know what?
17:58You're never gonna see my kid or her ever again.
18:01That's not true.
18:02Leave me alone.
18:06Mate, you are off your head.
18:10It's gonna be alright.
18:12It's gonna be okay.
18:13It's gonna be alright.
18:14It's gonna happen.
18:16I'm gonna look after it.
18:19What I want him to do is look after my girl.
18:22I'm not crazy.
18:25My baby.
18:28He's not gonna get away.
18:30He's gonna come but I'm gonna be ready for him.
18:32I'm bigger than him.
18:33I'm stronger than him.
18:34I'm not crazy.
18:35She's my girl.
18:36She's my baby.
18:37All I can do is look after her and make sure everything's right.
18:40She's my girl.
18:41She's my baby.
18:43He's gonna come but I'm gonna be ready for him.
18:45I'm bigger than him.
18:46I'm stronger than him.
18:47He's my girl.
18:48He's my baby.
18:49I'm gonna go away for the fun sake.
18:51He's away from his little heart.
18:52Everything's gonna be okay.
18:54He'll come home and I'll stop him because I'll be strong enough.
18:56I'm bigger than him.
18:57It's not gonna be a problem.
18:58Come home, Kit.
18:59Come home to me.
18:59I'm gonna look after you.
19:00I promise.
19:01Just you and the baby will get away.
19:09James is a good man, Kit.
19:11The drugs haven't changed that.
19:14The thing is though, I'm not sure I can be the one to help him.
19:19As much as I love him, it's not just about me.
19:22I can't put my baby in danger.
19:24Of course you can't.
19:25I wouldn't expect you to.
19:28Being there for James and being in a relationship with him are two very different things.
19:34Maybe, maybe this is the kick up the pants that he needs.
19:36And if he sees that you're still there for him after everything that's happened, you know, maybe with the right
19:42support maybe he can turn himself around.
19:43Why are you doing this?
19:45He could have got you in so much trouble at work.
19:48Well, it's easy to care about people when things are going great.
19:52The test is when they let you down.
19:55You and I.
19:56We've had our moments.
20:00I know that James has a long way to go in earning back your trust.
20:04The question is, are you willing to give him the chance to try?
20:17James?
20:31James?
20:40Are you all right? What's going on?
20:42You can't leave me.
20:43What?
20:44You're not going anywhere.
20:46What are you talking about?
20:49You're never going to leave me.
20:54Her boyfriend's holding her hostage.
20:56I don't want to have to hurt you.
20:58But now, her life's in even more danger.
21:01Kit Kit, what's wrong?
21:02I need to go to the hospital.
21:03Will he jeopardise her life and her unborn babies?
21:06Kim? Matilda, get help now!
21:09I'm so sorry.
21:10I can't let them take you.
