00:00Previously on Shortland Street.
00:01We have, uh, resources if you're, um, sleeping rough.
00:05Excuse me?
00:06I'm so sorry.
00:06I said go!
00:08Cindy, wait!
00:09Warner reckons you might be the key to jogging my memory.
00:11Well, I probably do know you better than anyone else in this place.
00:13What are you doing?
00:14Don't try any of that stuff on me.
00:19Pretty sure that's the last of it.
00:22If you've left anything, I can easily just bring it up.
00:25Uh, maybe avoid Esther for a bit.
00:27I mean, she's just moved in, and now I'm moving back there.
00:30It's pretty strange for her.
00:31Well, you can easily just stay here while you're looking for a place.
00:34I think it's best I go.
00:37Right.
00:38Do you want to take your blender?
00:40Uh, you keep it.
00:41What? You love that thing.
00:43Yeah, but you'll be needing it to mash Chloe's veggies soon.
00:47Okay, then.
00:48I'll be on my way.
00:52Hey, um, listen.
00:53Once everything calms down a bit, we should have a proper boys' night.
00:56Like old times.
00:58Yeah, I felt like every night was boys' night.
01:01For a while, eh?
01:04Well, see you around.
01:07Don't be a stranger.
01:15Oh.
01:19It's addressed to you.
01:20That's for Chloe.
01:23Yeah, I almost forgot I even ordered it.
01:27See ya.
01:30See ya.
01:32I may be wrong, but I need to be heard.
01:36Hey.
01:37Hey.
01:41I had an idea.
01:42I thought I could show you some photos.
01:46All right.
01:48Okay, um, this is you at volleyball.
01:52You were actually really, really good.
01:54Yeah, well, that sounds about right.
01:56And then this is us at a rage room.
01:59You get, like, a bat and you, like, smash, like, old TVs and stuff.
02:02And maybe when you're better, we could do it again.
02:04What the hell is that?
02:06That's you during Pride at the hospital.
02:09Pride?
02:10I thought that was for you lot.
02:12Yeah, but you're an ally.
02:13A what?
02:14You, uh, support the cause.
02:17Well, I hope that doesn't cost me anything.
02:19Oh, my God.
02:20This was later that day.
02:21Iconic.
02:22Yeah, I don't, I, uh, I don't, I don't do karaoke.
02:26You don't do karaoke.
02:27You absolutely bloody nail it.
02:29I mean, to be fair, it took you a few Jagerbombs to be that passionate about Dolly's working conditions.
02:32But, yeah, look, I'm, I'm getting a headache.
02:36Do you need, like, painkillers or some water or?
02:38No, no, thanks.
02:39I just need rest.
02:42Sure.
02:45Um, I'll come back later and we can, we can talk then.
02:54Before we get any of the medical tests done, you need to be approved.
02:57So the sooner we get the application sent off, the better.
03:00Already done.
03:01Huh.
03:01Well, you, I love you.
03:03I just got back silent, you know.
03:06My donut duo.
03:08I'm so sorry about the rain check yesterday, but I come bearing gifts.
03:12I have found exceptional sperm, top shelf stuff.
03:16Do you want to pop by later to review?
03:18I've already decided on my donut.
03:21Amazing.
03:21Who'd you go with?
03:23Viliami.
03:24I'm so sorry.
03:27It's incest legal now.
03:28Well, it's super common for family to become donors.
03:32We've already submitted our application.
03:35Right, well, um, keep it in the family.
03:38Congratulations.
03:39I'm just going to...
03:41She doesn't know what she's talking about.
03:44She's not even medical.
03:45Exactly.
03:47Oof.
03:49Shouldn't you, you know, be getting ready for work?
03:53Or are you just going to rock this morning after the night before look all day?
03:57Well, um, rostered off.
04:00Trialling reduced hours.
04:02Wait, you came into work, and you're not even working?
04:05I don't really know where else to go.
04:08Eh?
04:09I've moved back into my old place, but now Esther's there, and, look, I, I don't know if I need
04:15it to be permanent, and I don't want to muck her around.
04:18You're staying with Esther?
04:20In the spare room.
04:21Oh, that could be a cooked little love square, eh?
04:24Uh, I certainly don't want to crowd her.
04:27Maybe that's what my flatties are on about.
04:30But giving me too much space, I reckon.
04:33Hmm.
04:34You're missing home.
04:36Hard out.
04:37It's not easy being torn between where you come from and where you've chosen to be.
04:42Did you find it hard, moving from Pakistan?
04:47Hmm.
04:48Immensely.
04:50Why did you stay?
04:53It takes time to build a new life, and to find your people.
04:56And then your people kick you out, and your other people leave you, and, uh, sorry.
05:04I wouldn't swap it, though.
05:07Because when it was working, when I was with them, I'd never felt more to.
05:13I'm gonna text him.
05:15Texting's fine.
05:16Okay, I think maybe this is something you wanted in person.
05:19Yeah.
05:21I'm gonna cancel.
05:24Okay, fine.
05:25I will come with you.
05:28Really?
05:29Mm-hmm.
05:30If that's what it's gonna take to get you through this.
05:33Thank you, thank you, thank you.
05:35All right.
05:36An old, entitled white man.
05:38Just another Tuesday for me.
05:40Okay.
05:40We don't have long.
05:41We need to make a game plan.
05:42Then, first thing, whatever you do, do not mention Jacinda.
05:48Come on.
05:52Cindy.
05:54Hey.
05:56Can we talk?
05:58Oh, we're actually, um, in the middle of something, so.
06:02Um, can you come back soon?
06:04No, we won't be long.
06:05Sure.
06:12Well, he got the pip about that photo of him in that wig, but that doesn't mean he actually
06:17remembers anything.
06:19Mm, it's gonna be a marathon, not a sprint.
06:21Can we make it more like a 5K?
06:25Just be patient.
06:27Keep exposing him to the familiar people, stories, routines.
06:32What about places?
06:34Yeah.
06:35Absolutely.
06:35When he's had a bit more time.
06:37Till then, just keep doing what you're doing.
06:51Maeve.
06:52One sec.
06:55What's up?
06:57I wanted to apologize.
06:59My behavior yesterday was not befitting of an HOD.
07:02Or a friend.
07:04No, it wasn't.
07:06It's important to me that we're able to work alongside one another, so, moving forward,
07:11I would like to...
07:14Sorry, continue.
07:16I would like to ensure that we're able to work together without any more issues.
07:21Me too.
07:23Okay, so fresh start?
07:25Yeah, sounds good.
07:26I think we have to take this.
07:29Hi, how's it going?
07:45It's not her egg, so it's not weird.
07:48Nobody said it was.
07:49Yeah, but I can tell you're both thinking it.
07:51Don't be so paranoid.
07:53It is a bit weird.
07:55It's like Game of Thrones.
07:58You know, hopefully you don't have a Joffrey.
08:00You do realize this happens all the time, right?
08:03People helping out family?
08:04Absolutely.
08:05Hey, this is normal.
08:09Hey, so will the kid call you Uncle Father?
08:14Yeah, we'll buy it a little banjo.
08:16Can you guys just grow up?
08:23Maeve, do you have Mrs. Wilson's ECG?
08:25Maeve.
08:26Huh?
08:26Mrs. Wilson's ECG.
08:28Oh, sorry, just...
08:31Do you want me to do it?
08:32Have you not done it?
08:33I will do it now.
08:35Just let me know when you've done it.
08:37Sure.
08:39And this is where the magic happens.
08:42You've probably spent more hours in here than you have in your own house.
08:44Anything coming back to you?
08:45Bright.
08:46Loud.
08:48I remember it.
08:49Amazing.
08:50Amazing.
08:50Now I know it's hectic, but I've got a good feeling this will bring back something more.
08:53Can I get some water?
08:54Yeah.
08:55On it.
08:59Why is Emmett out of bed?
09:00We are on a little field trip.
09:02Is he really up to that?
09:04Yeah, it's just a quick little tour.
09:07Sage, I know you're trying to help.
09:09Hey.
09:09Do you really think that's a good idea?
09:11That IV line is hanging like a wet sock.
09:14Fix it before someone else has to have brain surgery.
09:16This is an ED, not a laundry.
09:19Got my water there?
09:24So your ECG is showing a slight irregularity, but it's nothing I'm too worried about.
09:28I will be right back.
09:30Hello?
09:31Uh, so I'm just going to send you off this and further test just to make sure there's nothing else
09:36going on.
09:37Just excuse me one moment.
09:40Yeah, that's hot.
09:43Hang up.
09:45Hang up now.
09:47Send me a photo.
09:48Sorry, that was just a...
09:49I am trying very hard to commit to this fresh start, but it goes both ways, Maeve.
09:54What?
09:54You've been in your phone all morning and taking a call in front of patients.
09:58It's unacceptable.
10:00I'm sure whoever she is, BJ or otherwise, she must be lovelier, but this is not appropriate conduct for ED.
10:09Is Maeve all right?
10:10What's their news?
10:11On what?
10:12Nox, her grandson.
10:13He's really sick.
10:15And this is Dr. Crane.
10:17She's taken the reins in ED while you've been unwell, and that is Poppy Achari.
10:21We met.
10:22Okay.
10:23Rude.
10:23So, how's it been going down here today?
10:26Excuse me.
10:28Okay, it's not usually like this.
10:29We'll find someone who's not in a pissy mood.
10:32Think I've had enough for the day.
10:34But we haven't even gone to recess yet.
10:35I think they've got a patient.
10:35I said that's enough.
10:36We could take a look at one of the private rooms while we wait.
10:39Oh, Jesus Christ.
10:40I think it'd be really good for you to talk to a real patient.
10:42Is it a gay thing that you just can't bloody listen?
10:46Sorry, uh, just, you just take me to my room, please.
10:55That's your mobile.
10:56It's bees.
10:58Huh?
10:59What do you think?
11:01What do you think?
11:03You like it?
11:06Hey, did you just laugh?
11:08Can you do that again?
11:10Can you do that again?
11:10Math!
11:22Cindy.
11:23Kia ora.
11:25You told me to come back later.
11:28Yes.
11:28I have a meeting, though, so maybe...
11:32Maybe yes.
11:33Meet later.
11:39Do you think I'm a joke?
11:41No.
11:42Of course not.
11:46I can handle all the bullshit from Izzy.
11:48That's just who she is.
11:50But from you...
11:54I...
11:54Don't.
11:57Okay.
11:57Let's talk.
11:58Yeah?
11:59We'll talk.
11:59No point.
12:01I'm done.
12:02What do you mean done?
12:03I want to go back home.
12:06Oh, Cindy, don't make any rash decisions.
12:07We can talk it through.
12:09Peck in, eh?
12:12Ah, let's...
12:13Let's meet up this afternoon, and we can talk through it all.
12:17Everything.
12:18Oh, here we go.
12:19I just...
12:20I have a meeting.
12:21Yeah, yeah.
12:23Later.
12:25Cindy, wait.
12:28Forget everything I said.
12:29You have my undivided attention.
12:31I promise.
12:33What about your meeting?
12:36Kaere te haere.
12:37Take a seat.
12:45This is ridiculous.
12:46She's coming.
12:48Remind me again.
12:49Why do we have to wait for this woman?
12:51Just a few more minutes.
12:54Please.
12:56Another coffee?
12:58No, thanks.
13:01So, how about those warriors?
13:05Excuse me?
13:06You know?
13:08The one for rugby?
13:10Small talk, Isabella?
13:12It's so nice that you could take the time to meet.
13:16It's been so long since we've had a coffee together.
13:20Stop with the waffling.
13:23Tell me what this is about.
13:27I'm worried about Viliyami, and I think he's getting cold beat about the whole donor thing.
13:31Okay, what makes you think that?
13:33Well, I heard him talking to Phil and Izzy, and he just didn't seem like a happy camper.
13:39He's allowed to feel nervous.
13:40It's a big deal.
13:41It was less nerves, and more he was spiralling.
13:46Okay, well, why would he agree to do something he doesn't want to do?
13:49People agree to do things they don't want to do all the time, especially if they don't
13:53want to disappoint someone.
13:54Just last week, I said yes to a second date with a man who spent 30 minutes showing me
14:01photos of his ex-wife asking if she'd aged well.
14:05Look, I just hope it's okay that I told you I thought you should know.
14:08I'm glad you did.
14:09Okay, if you...
14:10Okay, that was stressing me out.
14:12Okay, I'm going to go have my morning tea now.
14:19You're taking me the long way around.
14:33You'll get a different nurse next time.
14:37Hmm.
14:52What was that?
14:53Oh, no.
14:56Must be broken.
14:59What?
15:00Yeah.
15:01It's stuck, but, um, it's okay.
15:03It's all right.
15:09I can't breathe.
15:11Okay, well, um, just...
15:13Just breathe with me, okay?
15:14We're going to do four, four, four.
15:15Okay, in.
15:17Two, three, four, out.
15:19Two, three, four.
15:21Okay, you just need to relax, okay?
15:23And try to breathe with me.
15:24Here.
15:24Get away from me!
15:27What the hell is wrong with you?
15:29Damn it, I thought this was bull.
15:31What?
15:32I'm sorry.
15:33You did this on purpose?
15:34How dare you?
15:35Well, I know that you're scared of small spaces.
15:37I thought this would outjog your memory, okay?
15:39But you just needed to sit down, okay?
15:41You're going to hurt yourself.
15:42Get away from me.
15:43You're insane!
15:46What the hell was wrong with you?
15:54What's Chloe?
15:55Napping.
15:56Oh, well, come in.
15:58What are you doing there?
16:00Uh, she laughed this morning.
16:02What?
16:02Like an actual laugh?
16:03Like a full-on giggle.
16:05It was your mobile that did it.
16:08Um, mate, look, I need to explain.
16:11Oh, you don't.
16:12When you said that I could go back to work, I panicked.
16:17Raising Chloe on my own, it's been brutal.
16:20I'm always exhausted, constantly covered in shit, and half the time I feel like I'm messing
16:25everything up, but it's also the happiest I've ever been.
16:31Kiwa and Piki, I love them, and I've always treated them like they were my own from day
16:35one.
16:36That's because they are.
16:36Yeah, but I never really got much of a say in their lives.
16:41Esther called all the shots for everything.
16:43But with Chloe, I get to make the decisions.
16:48And, I don't know, when you arranged for me to go back to work, I just felt like you were
16:53taking away my agency or something.
16:56I'm sorry, mate, that was not my intention.
16:59I just wanted to give you a break, so the time you do spend with Chloe, you can get more
17:02out of it.
17:02Yeah, no, I know that.
17:03I do.
17:04I'm just getting used to this whole single-parent thing.
17:07Yeah.
17:08Well, I'm sure you will.
17:10So, um, if you're still up for it, I'd really like it if you moved back in.
17:15We both would.
17:17I just...
17:18How do I know you won't kick me out again?
17:19I won't.
17:21And besides, who's going to listen to all the giggles when I go back to work this week?
17:24Hmm?
17:25Hmm.
17:26What do you say?
17:29I'll get it.
17:31What about your stuff?
17:32I'll just grab it, Lynn.
17:37Oh!
17:39So you are alive.
17:40And what are you doing here?
17:42Izzy, can you give me two minutes, please?
17:45Nah.
17:46Um, I can see I'm in the way again.
17:49She's all yours.
17:50Cindy.
17:52You promised me.
17:54Just let me explain.
17:56Yet another stupid decision you haven't fully thought through.
18:00Pardon me?
18:01That's what my dad said to me.
18:03Before he berated me for ten minutes about how I am constantly disappointing him.
18:08And I just sat there and I took it.
18:12Izzy.
18:12I needed you there.
18:15I needed you there.
18:15I'm sorry.
18:16Okay?
18:17And I wouldn't have missed it if it wasn't important.
18:20Yeah.
18:22Well, this was important too.
18:39You looking for me?
18:41No, I was trying to avoid you, actually.
18:44Would you like another cup?
18:47No, thanks.
18:51How's an ox?
18:54Um, it's gastro.
18:56But it's pretty severe.
18:57And you can't even keep down water.
18:59That can be distressing to see in children, but it is very treatable.
19:02Yeah, I know.
19:03I know.
19:04It's just useless being so far away.
19:07I'm sorry I snapped at you.
19:09That's what happens when you jump to conclusions.
19:12Family always comes first.
19:14Feels like we just can't get on the same page this week, huh?
19:18I don't know.
19:19Looks like a grace in a packet of Tim Tams.
19:22What do you mean?
19:24Oh, we had a bet about whether exes could work together.
19:26I lost.
19:27You made a bet that we would fight?
19:29No, I made a bet that we wouldn't fight.
19:31I chose what I know.
19:32What is wrong with you?
19:35Sorry?
19:36Do you know how disrespectful that is?
19:38To have our relationship reduced to a bet over a packet of biscuits.
19:42Maeve, wait, I...
19:43Why can't you just leave me alone?
19:46I don't know.
19:48I wish I could, but I can't.
19:51I'll try harder.
19:53Yeah, please do.
19:54I'll try to pretend that we don't have any history.
19:57I'll try to pretend that you mean nothing to me.
19:59I'll try to pretend that I don't think about you every second of every day.
20:03And that I don't want you every second of every day.
20:06Don't say stuff like that.
20:08Okay, well, it doesn't...
20:09It doesn't help anything.
20:11I know.
20:12Believe me, I know I wish I didn't want you.
20:14But I do.
20:17You're impossible.
20:18I know.
20:31Are you hurt?
20:33No, no, are you?
20:34I don't believe so.
20:36Help!
20:38I'm sorry.
20:40Oh, Kenny, I can call an ambulance.
20:41Looks like it's very wide or it's severed.
20:44I've got a pulse.
20:45What do you need?
20:45A tourniquet, belt tie, anything.
20:47Um, your apron, please.
20:49We need to keep the pressure on or we'll bleed out.
20:52How far on that ambulance?
20:55Linga, didn't you get my text?
20:58Aye, I must have missed it.
20:59Okay, well, I have news.
21:02What?
21:04I'm approved.
21:05Approved?
21:06I'm your donor.
21:08I got sent the email.
21:09It's official.
21:11Linga, it's happening.
21:12This is exciting.
21:13Linga, what's wrong?
21:15Bro, I...
21:17I'm so grateful that you're offering to do this for me, but...
21:20But what?
21:22I've given it some thought and I think I should go with a different donor.
21:27Oh.
21:28Right, how come?
21:30Um, to be completely honest, the more I think about it, the more I feel like this whole situation
21:35is just, you know, it's too difficult.
21:38Yeah, yeah, yeah, totally.
21:41Yeah, you're right.
21:43I'll speak to Libby and I'll tell her we're back on the hunt.
21:46Sounds good.
21:47Thanks, bro.
21:51Make it a sec.
21:56How is it?
21:57He's pretty shaken up.
21:58Do you have any idea how reckless that was?
22:01What were you thinking?
22:01I'm so sorry.
22:02It's just that last time we were in a lift together, I helped him through it and I thought
22:05that if I did it again, then he might remember it.
22:08Okay, it's okay.
22:10No, it is not.
22:11I mean, I've already pissed him off so much.
22:12He had this weird go at me about being gay and now he freaked him out so much he never
22:16wants to see me again and I just feel like he's never going to remember me, Chris.
22:19I mean, that could be right.
22:21He might not.
22:23So what?
22:25We should just give up?
22:27No, you don't stop trying, but it could be time to start thinking about what a new
22:33relationship with Emmett might look like.
22:44I know it hurts, but we've got to keep the pressure on.
22:47Hang in there, mate.
22:47Help is coming, okay?
22:51I'm really glad you're here.
22:53You're good to have in situations like this.
22:55I'm just trying for it.
22:57I can't believe there's been another bomb.
22:58The explosion was too small.
23:02Keep the pressure on.
23:05Where are you going?
23:11What are you doing?
23:16I need you to stay calm.
23:18Why?
23:19What's wrong?
23:20It didn't fully detonate.
23:22Shit.
23:23Okay.
23:23Well, what do we do?
23:25We can't move him.
23:29What the hell are you doing?
23:31Put it down.
23:31It could go off in a minute.
23:32So why the hell are you holding it?
23:36Sophia!
23:39Oh, shit.
23:40Oh, shit.
