00:00Previously, on Shortland Street.
00:01Listen, I need a bit of space at the moment, mate.
00:03Look, I know Bonnie is your daughter, and I know she means the world to you, but, like,
00:07this is just, like, really getting old.
00:09I am so sorry this is happening.
00:11You must have missed something. You must have made a mistake.
00:13If it was me, I'd be up there fighting for my family.
00:15I can't lose her. I can't lose this baby.
00:17There's only a slim chance that surgery would even work.
00:19Then you have to take it. Please don't let this baby die.
00:30How was she?
00:32Sleepy.
00:34She fit, though.
00:36What, on you? That's huge. How was it?
00:39Hmm. Kind of horrifying.
00:42Kind of sweet. At least I'm doing something right.
00:46Can't believe it.
00:47I'm not going to miss another second.
00:49I think she missed you, too.
00:51I heard Marty throughout all the crying.
00:54Straight to Marty. No data.
00:56She's got my sass.
00:58Well, maybe that's a good thing.
01:02We shouldn't talk like this, Marty.
01:04Yeah, of course we should.
01:05I want to imagine our sassy teenager.
01:08I'm sure she'll be a nightmare.
01:10Marty.
01:11Lester's going to help us.
01:12What?
01:13She's going to find a way.
01:15Wait, what?
01:16Bill was certain.
01:17There are always options.
01:18Okay, even if they're not obvious.
01:22Look at her.
01:24Look at how perfect she is.
01:27I'm never going to give up on her, okay?
01:30Ever.
01:35Okay.
01:36Any final questions?
01:38Are you guys doing casting?
01:40Mean.
01:41Can I have a go?
01:41No, and you missed the first hour of your shift.
01:43You can make it up your handover.
01:44What? Don't we start at 8.30?
01:48Um, have you got a message to come in now?
01:50Let me grab the plastering.
01:51Oh, yeah.
01:52That's the thing about a broken phone.
01:55Damn sins.
01:57It's just, I wish I had a flatmate
01:58who has the same shifts as me
02:00who could have told me.
02:02Okay, well, I knocked on your door
02:03and you didn't answer,
02:04so I thought you'd already left.
02:07I'm sorry.
02:07I'm sorry.
02:08Are you?
02:08Because I'm hearing that a lot lately
02:10and it just feels like it's something
02:11that leaves its meaning.
02:12I promise I'm going to make it up to you.
02:14Whatever, bro.
02:15You do you.
02:15I'm just not going to hold my breath, you know?
02:18Cindy, just give me the marketplace information
02:20and I'll sort it out.
02:22Oh, yeah.
02:23Should I text it to you?
02:24That's right.
02:26Cindy.
02:27I'll get it to you,
02:28but it's not like there's anything
02:29that you can do about it anyway.
02:30What?
02:34Hey.
02:36Ashley?
02:38What was that?
02:39A waste of my time.
02:41Hey, I'm sorry for snapping at you yesterday.
02:44It's fine.
02:45I get that you're excited
02:46to learn new things in here.
02:50You're giving.
02:51Really.
02:52Outstanding.
02:54All right.
02:54Listen up, everyone.
02:56I know it's early,
02:57but I've already found
02:59my patient of the day.
03:02Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da.
03:05You're the sickest but not broken.
03:07Don't believe me.
03:08We're more spoken.
03:09And you're the patient
03:10of the day.
03:13Give it up for Sarah.
03:16Okay.
03:17That's a no from me.
03:18I know you prefer sexy and militant.
03:21You know, they do say
03:23laughter is the best medicine.
03:24You did not just say that.
03:27Yeah.
03:27Sorry.
03:28But, you know, maybe
03:29maybe he's exactly who we need right now.
03:32Okay.
03:33Withholding final vital
03:34for the time being.
03:36I am this close.
03:43What do you know, Chris?
03:45How's he looking today?
03:48He's doing well.
03:49You?
03:50How are you feeling this morning?
03:52Yeah, I feel good.
03:55Hey, guys.
03:56Don't worry.
03:57I'm not going to ask how Emic's doing.
03:58You can ask, Sage.
04:00He's doing well.
04:01Good.
04:01Great.
04:02Tippity top.
04:05And what are you doing?
04:06It's not like he can say
04:08if he's uncomfortable.
04:10I mean, he did already have a pillow.
04:12Yeah, I know.
04:13I just thought it might be nice.
04:14Why are you giving him the resort treatment?
04:15I know it's like the worst.
04:17Yeah, but look at the guy.
04:18He's been through a lot.
04:19Yeah, but surely someone else
04:20can be his guardian angel.
04:21Maybe, but it is my job.
04:26This is kind of giving, you know,
04:28while you were sleeping vibes.
04:30Okay, well, I got Emmett one too.
04:33Well, you can take that to him
04:34because I am banished.
04:36Come on.
04:37And I've worked out
04:38if I take the stairs instead of the lift,
04:40I can continue to work on this floor
04:41and not come within 10 metres of Emmett's room
04:43at all times.
04:45Better living, everyone.
04:46Right.
04:46Yep.
04:47Right.
04:48I hate to say this,
04:50but do you think
04:51that maybe you're being a little bit petty?
04:53No.
04:54I think I'm recognising boundaries,
04:55which is more than I can say for you,
04:57hanging around the hospital bully's bed
04:58while he's unconscious
04:59and can't tell you to back off.
05:01Sage.
05:08This is completely unethical.
05:10We have a duty of care.
05:11Which you are ignoring.
05:13You can't just write her off
05:14without trying anything.
05:15Precious time with her is not a write-off.
05:18It's the humane thing to do
05:19for the baby, for Monique and Marty.
05:20She doesn't stand a chance.
05:22So you're lying to him?
05:24I was trying to help.
05:26I can't believe this.
05:27And what, you're in on this too?
05:29No.
05:29Absolutely not.
05:30I'm so sorry, Monique.
05:33I need to go check on my patients.
05:34You of all people know
05:35what this is going to do to him.
05:37I don't want to put him through that again.
05:39But he is.
05:39He's going through it.
05:41And lying to him is cruel.
05:42What's cruel is losing your babies
05:44and no one doing anything about it?
05:45Yes, it's going to kill him.
05:47To have hope and then to lose her.
05:49You know I am right.
05:50I promised him I would try.
05:52Well then, tell him you tried.
05:54You didn't find anything and that is that.
05:55I can't.
05:56Yes, you can.
05:57And you have to before it gets harder.
05:59I'm not doing that, Mon.
06:00Great.
06:02At this rate, you're going to destroy him.
06:05Maybe deep down that's what you had you want to do.
06:09She's doing well, right?
06:11Yeah.
06:12Her heart rate is a little elevated,
06:13but that is to be expected.
06:15Sure, but I mean, look at her.
06:16She's so alert.
06:17Decent colour, no lethargy.
06:19Are you doing the op through mine?
06:21That's just encouraging to see, you know?
06:24All right to come in?
06:25Yeah, of course.
06:27Marty, I'm so sorry.
06:27Thank you, but you don't have to be.
06:29Well, anything you need.
06:31I can't imagine what you're going through.
06:32I'm okay, really.
06:33She's doing really well.
06:35Maybe I should go check on Mum and see where she is.
06:37She'll be needing a rest.
06:39Is she doing okay?
06:40Um, yeah, I mean, it's been a shock, obviously,
06:43but we just need to focus on the operation now.
06:45Operation?
06:47Phil!
06:48What the hell?
06:48Excuse me?
06:49Hello?
06:50Seriously?
06:52Wow, I should have just let you fail.
06:53Oh, crap, my exam.
06:55Our exams?
06:56Well, maybe, if we run.
06:58I can't.
06:58Not today.
06:59Phil.
06:59No, Phil, you have to.
07:01No, I don't.
07:02It's not a priority.
07:02I need to be here.
07:03Phil, please.
07:04I mean, thank you very much, but please go to your exam.
07:06Literally not waiting another second.
07:08Go.
07:09Are you sure?
07:10Yes, definitely.
07:11I can keep an eye on them.
07:12Good luck.
07:15I can't believe you came and got me.
07:17Ew.
07:17Get over it.
07:18It's not like I had a choice.
07:19Okay, sure.
07:20Oh, my God.
07:20Just hurry up.
07:22What have we got?
07:23This is Peter.
07:2428, ham versus lawnmower.
07:26Second, third and fourth metacarpals.
07:27Traumatically amputated at the head.
07:28Severe blood loss with intimate and chest pains.
07:30Okay.
07:30Have we still got the digits?
07:32Negative on that.
07:33Peter's received 10 milligrams IV morphine en route with no improvement.
07:36Are you paged?
07:37Oh, great.
07:38Okay, I'll get IV fluids.
07:39And Murray, can you please call...
07:40Oh, I'm so sorry.
07:41I'm actually just needed urgently in cubicles.
07:43Just wanted to check you've got everything you need.
07:44Oh, I could really use your help.
07:46But I can actually see you two legends who've got this under control, hey?
07:50I'll just be next door.
07:53He's busy.
07:54We all are.
07:54If you say so.
07:56You get the IV fluids.
07:58I'll call surgical.
07:59On it.
08:03You'll never guess what I just heard.
08:05Don't you start to...
08:07I came up here to escape people.
08:09Hmm.
08:10Risky ops are not always the crowd pleases.
08:13To say the least.
08:15But maybe I was all too optimistic and I was clutching at straws.
08:19What straws do you have?
08:21You don't think I'm delusional?
08:23Tell me what you got.
08:24Okay, well, I've been looking at pre-programmed myocardial stem cells.
08:28Triggering rapid ventricular regeneration.
08:31Yes, have you heard of it?
08:32I've read about it in an experimental sense.
08:35In an impossible sense?
08:38Keep thinking.
08:39I'll look into it too.
08:41Really?
08:42Absolutely.
08:43But Naz is the person you should really be talking to about this.
08:46Naz?
08:47He's the most accomplished vascular surgeon we have.
08:50You need him with you on this.
08:57Hey, Karamea.
08:58What are you up to in this boring old cafe?
09:00You all good?
09:00I'm okay.
09:01Where's your mum?
09:02Does she know you're here?
09:03Shall I help you find her?
09:04I don't want to see her.
09:05How come?
09:06She won't tell me what's going on with your koro.
09:09Uh-huh.
09:11I'm not a baby.
09:12I just want to know.
09:13Yeah, I feel you.
09:14It's scary not knowing what's happening, isn't it?
09:16Well, the good news is that your koro is doing much better.
09:19His leg got infected after the operation, which is annoying, but it does happen.
09:24Because he was already sick before he hurt his leg, everyone got worried that they might
09:27make it harder for him to fight it off.
09:28So he's all right?
09:30Hopefully.
09:30We're going to do everything we can to make sure that he gets well again.
09:33And just because people aren't telling you things doesn't mean that they don't care
09:36about how you feel.
09:38We're just so focused on your koro right now.
09:40And I want to make sure that you don't worry too much.
09:42Okay.
09:47Bonnie, I know you guys don't want me near you.
09:49It's just...
09:49No, it's fine.
09:50Thank you, Sage.
09:51I'm not cutting me up.
09:52I just, um...
09:55Great.
09:56Go and tell your dad on me again.
10:02Why do I feel like I'm being ambushed?
10:04We really need your help with this.
10:06I already told you where I stand.
10:07I'm not getting involved.
10:08If we were to simply ask your professional opinion...
10:11I've already given it.
10:12...on some new findings.
10:16Okay, fine.
10:17Let's get this over with.
10:20Even if you manage to seal the shunt, there's still the issue of the ventricular wall.
10:25Yes, but what are your thoughts on us injecting the stem cells directly into the failing left
10:30ventricular wall?
10:31I'd say that's ambitious.
10:32So not impossible?
10:33I didn't say that.
10:34How are you sealing the shunt?
10:35We're still looking into that.
10:37Possibly a laser ablation.
10:39Or an endovascular embolisation.
10:40On her heart?
10:41No, neither would work.
10:43It hasn't before.
10:44I agree with you there.
10:45Look, the stem cells are a great idea, but insufficient on its own.
10:49Okay.
10:49Well, thank you for your honest opinion, at least.
10:51No, no.
10:53That's not good enough.
10:54Excuse me?
10:55Yes, sir.
10:56You might hate what happened, but I thought you loved Monique enough to see this through.
10:59I'm being realistic.
11:01No, you're being a coward, and that little baby girl will die if we just leave her there
11:04as she is, and then they'll lose her anyway.
11:06He has the right to say no.
11:08I won't let her baby die on my operating table, and I won't let you burden me with that.
11:12It's no one's fault that she's sick, but I can promise you you'll regret not helping
11:16her.
11:19Fine.
11:20You live with that.
11:21Wait.
11:22Wait.
11:23There might be another way.
11:25What?
11:27What?
11:28Look, we'll need to contact the ethics committee as soon as possible.
11:31So let's go.
11:36BP 115 over 70 post one unit whole blood.
11:39Okay.
11:39Good job.
11:40Yeah, you too.
11:41But we could have used Murray.
11:43I will chase up surgical now.
11:46Hey, you know that Emma and Crane would never have thrown you into something like that without
11:49helping.
11:53100% that's my regret chair story.
11:56Don't even start.
11:59Murray, do you want an update on the traumatic amputation case that you stranded us with?
12:03I was just coming back to see how you were getting on.
12:06Really?
12:06Because it kind of looked like you were doing a little stand-up set.
12:10The patient's stable, no longer hemorrhaging.
12:13Well, see, I knew you had it sussed, popster.
12:15Just poppy, thanks.
12:21It's all good.
12:22She can do it.
12:23Just give her a minute.
12:25Come on, little one.
12:27Murray, I don't think she's going to.
12:29No, she is.
12:31Please, come on, you can do this.
12:33No, maybe she's just not up to her.
12:35She's using all her energy on breathing and she's not gaining any weight.
12:38Come here, come here.
12:39Hey.
12:42Okay, so what's our next best option?
12:44A feeding tube.
12:45A feeding tube.
12:46And that's going to help, right?
12:48No, it's going to hold her progress.
12:50She needs to learn these skills if she's going to pull through.
12:54Let's just give her a minute and we'll try again.
12:56I mean, she's only fed once, Marty.
12:58Maybe the tube's the best option.
13:00Let's just let her get her strength back first, okay?
13:02I don't think she's going to match.
13:04She will.
13:05She will.
13:06Just give it time.
13:07Time.
13:08Yeah.
13:09Hey, hey, I'm sorry.
13:10I just...
13:11I don't want to give up on her this easily.
13:13Of course, neither do I.
13:15Come on.
13:16Proof us right, little man.
13:21Everything okay?
13:23Valor?
13:25Valor.
13:27Yeah.
13:28He's fine.
13:30Yeah.
13:31BP 140 over 100.
13:34Heart rate's good too.
13:35We should be able to extubate soon.
13:37Really?
13:38How soon?
13:40Maybe tomorrow.
13:41We'll keep you posted.
13:43Do you think people deserve second chances?
13:46Yeah.
13:46I'd like to think I believe that.
13:48Although, with some people, it is hard to grant that grace.
13:53It is.
13:56Look, I know Arlo's rubbed people up the wrong way.
14:00You included.
14:01It doesn't mean he couldn't change things moving forward.
14:05Do you think he would?
14:08Hmm.
14:09I don't know.
14:10I'm not going to forget what he did.
14:14Well, we don't have to like him.
14:16We just have to treat him with care and kindness, as we do all our patients.
14:23I see you, Cody.
14:25Keep up the good work.
14:33Mum, please, can you just come and get her?
14:35I don't want her seeing him like this.
14:38What if he doesn't get better?
14:43Yeah.
14:44Fine.
14:45Whatever.
14:45Just call me back later.
14:50What if he doesn't get better?
15:04What if he doesn't get better?
15:13Okay, I've watched Murray do literally nothing all afternoon.
15:17Not nothing.
15:18Did you miss that quick game of two truths and a liar play with our fretched ankle and cube
15:22too?
15:22God, it's not year 10 camp.
15:24Here's me thinking he believed in my ability, when in actual fact he's just the most useless
15:29HOD anyone has ever had.
15:31He passes every single thing off to other people.
15:33Does he think we won't notice?
15:34Hang on.
15:35Ash, where the heck have you been?
15:36Um, uh, sorry.
15:39Um, it won't happen again.
15:40Seriously, what is it with you two today?
15:42Help Cindy strip four, please?
15:43Yeah, sure.
15:47Paul, just the guy I wanted to see.
15:48Here I am.
15:49How's it going down here?
15:50Great.
15:50Yeah, if you want ED run by me.
15:52Come again?
15:53Where's Murray?
15:54Exactly.
15:55Certainly not here.
15:56Running ED.
15:57I'm sure there's a perfectly good reason.
15:59Yeah, yeah.
15:59He's lazy.
16:00No, actually Murray came very highly recommended.
16:03By who?
16:03The gas station?
16:04He's signed his contract, so you're just going to have to deal with it.
16:11I got you something.
16:13Hi.
16:14What's that?
16:15What, your road?
16:17Nah.
16:18How?
16:19So we call?
16:20Yeah, mates again.
16:22Yeah, just about.
16:24Stoked.
16:26Yeah, yeah, yeah.
16:28Did you?
16:29Oi.
16:32Nobody puts Cindy in the corner.
16:37Oh, my God, I can't believe it's finally over.
16:40Don't know what all the fuss was about.
16:42Yeah, right.
16:43So are the bets still on then?
16:47Whoever fails has to move out.
16:49That was a joke, syphilis.
16:51Like hell it was.
16:53Why?
16:53You're worried you're going to have to start packing?
16:56No.
16:57Not at all.
16:58In fact, I'll put up a post for your room tonight.
17:00That way you don't have to wait out your two weeks' notice.
17:04Yeah.
17:05You're welcome.
17:07You're all done.
17:08Yeah, nailed it.
17:10Any updates on the baby?
17:11No change.
17:12But one was asking after you.
17:13Okay, thanks.
17:16So instead of cutting the artery?
17:18We would thread a catheter directly into the artery, effectively plugging you with a biopolymer.
17:23That's genius.
17:52Yes.
17:54talking about here.
17:54Could you honestly live with that?
17:57No.
17:58I'm sorry.
17:59I've changed my mind.
18:00I can't do this.
18:06She needs a name.
18:09It's not going to help, aren't they?
18:11It will.
18:13It'll help all of us.
18:17Hey.
18:19Esther has some news about possible next steps.
18:22What?
18:23It's taken us some time, but we think we've found a potential surgery.
18:27What kind of surgery?
18:29It's extremely high risk.
18:32We'd be attempting a combination of trans-arterial bioplugging and ventricular regeneration for the first time on a newborn.
18:40So it'd be your first time doing it on a newborn?
18:42First time ever.
18:43So my baby is a test dummy.
18:45But you're saying she might have a chance.
18:46But what are the chances of survival?
18:48What?
18:49One in five?
18:50One in ten?
18:53One in a million?
18:54You are right.
18:55We do need to be realistic about what it could mean.
18:57Yeah, but any chance is better than what we have right now.
18:59Yeah, you may still have weeks with her or months.
19:02If you agree to the surgery, you may have to say goodbye tomorrow.
19:06Yeah, but if we do the surgery, there's a chance we might not have to say goodbye at all.
19:11Right, Mon.
19:13We have to.
19:14Um, it's up to you.
19:17Really?
19:18Yeah.
19:19You do what you think's best.
19:32Knock, knock.
19:33You got a delivery of an apology pad tie and an extra crabby boyfriend.
19:37Is that a free add-on?
19:38Because I'm not sure I asked for that.
19:40Oh, I'm sorry.
19:41I hate me.
19:43No, I don't.
19:44You were right.
19:45I was being a pissy little child.
19:47It's okay.
19:48I know how you feel about your work, Dad.
19:50I know.
19:51I just need to stop making it all about me.
19:52You know, his actual daughter is just as scared as I am.
19:55And his granddaughter is terrified.
19:58And I just need to let them be as a family.
20:01That's big of you.
20:03Oh, I know.
20:04Yuck.
20:04Anyway, enough about my dramas.
20:08I think Chrissy's a little bit worried about you.
20:10What did he say?
20:11I just wanted to make sure that you were looking after yourself as well as Arlo.
20:14It was quite sweet, really.
20:18Hmm.
20:19You know, I'm super proud of you.
20:23I'm proud of you, too.
20:25Hmm.
20:26What could I say?
20:28Hmm.
20:36Hey, uh, I made some stir-fry thing, if you want some.
20:41It's pretty mediocre, but it's all right if you'd load on the sweet chili.
20:47Yeah, maybe.
20:47Thanks.
20:49How was your day?
20:52I honestly can't be bothered talking about it.
20:55If it's because of last night.
20:57It really isn't.
21:00Because I am really sorry.
21:01I was pretty harsh, and I was frustrated.
21:04Oh, my God, just leave it.
21:06It's fine.
21:07Poppy, seriously.
21:08Look, we don't owe each other anything because we aren't anything.
21:11Okay?
21:13Poppy.
21:13We really don't need to make this a big deal.
21:15It was just sex.
21:17Now it's not.
21:18So can we get on with our lives, please?
21:22Yeah, yeah, if that's what you want.
21:24100%.
21:31It's an enormous decision no parent should have to make, but it's something you need
21:35to decide together.
21:36Well, you heard Monique.
21:38She's okay with it.
21:38It's not the impression I got, but if you need, we can talk to her.
21:42Well, she's already given her permission.
21:44If we are going to proceed, I do need to talk to her about the team.
21:47We had Naza on board, but unfortunately, he's no longer willing to go ahead with it.
21:51So the vascular specialist won't touch it?
22:01Monique.
22:03I'm so sorry.
22:05I guess I deserve this.
22:07No.
22:08No one does.
22:09You're doing the operation.
22:11You're going through with it.
22:12Well, Marty needs to.
22:13He needs to know that he tried everything.
22:16I'm...
22:17I'm so sorry.
22:18No, don't.
22:20Naza.
22:25Yes, sir.
22:26If you'll still have me on your team, I'll support you in the surgery.
22:29Yes.
22:30Absolutely yes.
22:32Naza, I don't know what to say.
22:33What changed your mind?
22:34This baby deserves every chance to live.
22:39Hey, Mon.
22:40Look, I know you're scared.
22:42Okay, and so am I.
22:43I'm terrified, but we have the best people in the world looking out for our little girl,
22:48okay?
22:49It's going to be okay.
22:51It's going to be okay.
23:03It's going to be okay.
