00:00Previously, on Shortland Street, you're not taking this opportunity away from me.
00:03It's not an opportunity, it's a disaster waiting to happen, you know that.
00:06Somebody help!
00:07Go!
00:08Where's my nurse? Give him back to me.
00:10Yeah, Mick can't see us yet.
00:12Whoa!
00:13Oh my God, he bought it!
00:22He's here.
00:26G'day, son.
00:32Now I...
00:41And any issues during the surgery?
00:43Blips you didn't see coming?
00:45I could have done it.
00:46If I'd been given the right support, I could have done the surgery.
00:48Phil, I'm so glad you came here to talk about fixing the vending machine.
00:52We should continue this outside.
00:55Yes, let's.
00:58So, Nazar's going to take credit for my surgery yet again?
01:01It wasn't your surgery.
01:03Look, we can find you a huge surgery that will guarantee you the cover of every medical journal in Australasia.
01:10Absolutely not.
01:11The days of this flagrant nepotism are over.
01:14We all have eyes, Chris.
01:16We can see you've got a boner for Miriamma.
01:18Okay, let's just calm down.
01:20We'll finish the interview and then I will get cracking on finding you this surgery.
01:23I kill you, Will.
01:25Yes, he will.
01:30I cannot keep swiping you into the drug room.
01:32You need to ask Libby for a new card.
01:34And pay $10 for the privilege.
01:36Nah, I'm good.
01:37It'll be here somewhere.
01:38You sure?
01:39Why wouldn't I be?
01:41Well, I mean, you've forgotten the last two years of your life.
01:43Hardly a huge surprise if you'd forgotten where your card is.
01:47All right, you.
01:48What's your problem?
01:49I've been waiting around here since the bloody book truck at all.
01:53Okay, Mullins, let's get full obs, bloods and an ECG for...
01:59Andrew, please.
02:00I wouldn't have come in.
02:01My bloody son made me in.
02:02Oh, yeah.
02:03Put your symptoms into the AI portal, did he?
02:05Yeah.
02:06Apparently I've got two weeks left to live.
02:08Ha, ha, ha.
02:14Let's add a D-dimer to that.
02:16It's just the flu, mate.
02:17Yep.
02:18Could be.
02:18Hey, you stay put until we know either way, though, eh?
02:21God, you do all like SpongeBob and Patrick.
02:24Eh?
02:25Talking yellow sea sponge.
02:27Starfish sidekick.
02:28No, nothing.
02:30At least we've got some real medicine to do now, though, eh?
02:35Right.
02:36So you killed a guy.
02:38Technically, I didn't kill a guy, Dad.
02:39No, no, it was some of your sister's handiwork.
02:43Don't worry, she didn't tell on you.
02:45Come on, Ty.
02:46Huh?
02:47You're my kid.
02:49Of course I've been keeping tabs on you.
02:51And you've been getting along pretty well, all things considered.
02:54There's a bit of a hiccup with the whole name business.
02:58Look, Dad, I'm sorry for gapping it.
03:04Okay, I am, but I've built something here.
03:06I'm actually doing something.
03:09You're saving lives, huh?
03:11It's a bit of a first for a Hudson.
03:13Yeah.
03:15And I met this chick, Poppy.
03:17That's the girlfriend?
03:21Dad, your mum always said how important it was for us to find our person.
03:29Yeah, and when we did, just to hold onto them, no matter what.
03:35Looks like our Ty guy's got it pretty bad, doesn't it?
03:39Yeah, I mean, she's a massive punish, but he seems to care about her a lot.
03:44Well, you know what Mickey's like about your girlfriends?
03:47So you tell me, Ty, what's so great about this?
03:49Poppy.
03:50Poppy.
03:51It's Dr. Poppy, was it?
03:53Yes.
03:54Because we know falling hard and often is a bit of a classic Tyler move.
03:59Yeah, well, this is different, Dad.
04:01How?
04:04I love her.
04:06You love her?
04:08Yeah.
04:12Dad, she's...
04:16She's smart.
04:18Yeah, and she's kind.
04:19And she's...
04:23She's beautiful.
04:26And she loves me.
04:28Me.
04:30I bet ten bucks Mickey just rolled her eyes.
04:34You know, it sounds to me like I need to meet this girl.
04:40Let's all have dinner.
04:43Are you serious?
04:45Why not?
04:51Yeah, I think we're supposed to be seeing Paul Cremon here at some point.
04:55Oh, I'll ask this lady.
04:56Kia ora.
04:57Hi.
04:57Do you know where I can find Paul Cremon?
04:58Uh, hi.
04:59Um, not specifically, no, but, uh, oh, here he is, Paul.
05:04Well, thank you.
05:05Don't let me hold you up.
05:06I better get to work.
05:07Lives to save, laws to follow.
05:09All right, thank you.
05:10Paul.
05:11Hi, Michael.
05:13Isabella Dove.
05:16Get back here right now.
05:20What?
05:22Well, you really think you can pretend like yesterday didn't happen?
05:25The CEO begged me to do something.
05:27I did it.
05:28What's the problem?
05:29The problem is, as I'm sure you're aware, is that you agreed to assist on a surgery you
05:34know you are not qualified to do.
05:36Because everyone else refused to.
05:38You refused to.
05:39And you should have too.
05:42You could have killed someone, Izzy.
05:44Oh, wow.
05:45Thank God mummy dearest was there to save the day.
05:47It's a good thing you're not at all, partner, because I'm ashamed enough, as it is.
05:51And don't even think you can go running and call your father because Dove means nothing
05:55in this hospital.
05:58Excuse me.
05:59Don't worry.
06:01I've just talked to her about yesterday.
06:03Not that I should have to.
06:05Sure.
06:06But it was hardly all her fault.
06:08I see.
06:09So she's pulled the ball over your eyes, too.
06:11It's the Isabella classic.
06:12What I see is a young surgeon who is pushed into doing something she wasn't ready for by
06:16the man who pays her salary, a very talented young surgeon, what I add, who just needs
06:20the right guidance to excel.
06:22And I'm giving her that guidance.
06:24Really?
06:24From what I heard, you're too ashamed to see how capable she is.
06:29Dr. Ropata.
06:36Wait.
06:37So you're saying you'd actually let me stay?
06:38Jesus, if you stop it with the poppy speeches already.
06:43All I ever wanted was for my kids to be happy.
06:49What time does she knock off work?
06:52Look.
06:53She's heard I'm here and she's come home early.
07:00Dalton.
07:01Daniel.
07:03Hey, mate.
07:04What's this?
07:05Uh, nothing.
07:06Just...
07:08I'm not getting nothing.
07:09I just...
07:10I just came to see Tyler.
07:11About?
07:12A job.
07:13A paid job.
07:17Ah, undercutting me.
07:19That's bold.
07:21And you were a part of this boy.
07:29Dan, don't.
07:36He just wants to talk to everyone that was working during the, uh, hiccup yesterday.
07:42Hiccup?
07:43That's what they're calling it these days?
07:45Let's go.
07:49Hey, I'm Taylor.
07:50Emmett.
07:57Hey.
07:59You know what I think, boy?
08:01No.
08:02I think there's pissy little nursing jobs up front.
08:04I think you just wanted to start your own thing in this godforsaken shithole.
08:08Right?
08:08No.
08:09Right?
08:11Dad.
08:13I swear.
08:17He blackmailed me.
08:19He said if I didn't do it, he'd tell the cops that Mickey killed someone.
08:30Is this true?
08:33That was all his idea.
08:35Had so, you know that I would never, ever...
08:37Shut the pie hole, you whiny prick.
08:39Really?
08:40Dad, Ty's telling the truth.
08:42He's serious about this nursing thing and he's serious about her too.
08:45Come on, who are you going to believe?
08:46This corrupt little piggy or your own son?
08:53Start packing.
08:54Dad.
08:55Don't push me.
08:59Dad, can I just say goodbye?
09:03I love her, Dad.
09:04Yeah, you've said that.
09:10All right.
09:11You're one hour, all right?
09:12You're going with him.
09:13You're not back here by then.
09:15I'll pay a visit to your little hospital.
09:18And you know I can make a scene, don't you, boy?
09:23All right.
09:24Off you go.
09:34No, no, that's just a rumour.
09:37Sorry, can I call you back?
09:38Great.
09:39Chris, what can I do for you?
09:42This is from all the senior surgeons at Shortland Street demanding that the doctor in charge of any major surgery
09:50is signed off by the head of department.
09:54Well, I'll go to the board and I'll go to the board and I'm sure you don't want them finding
10:00out that you and your girlfriend risked a patient's life.
10:05But don't we have a board member visiting next week?
10:09Fine.
10:11Glad we're on the same page.
10:21No, it's just us.
10:24Oh, I thought you'd be trying to deal with a surprise attack.
10:27Well, you're lucky I didn't have a ship.
10:29What happened?
10:31Oh, uh, nothing.
10:33Nothing.
10:33It's cool.
10:34That ain't nothing.
10:37Shh, guys.
10:37Look, I'm sorry.
10:39Sorry for how I spoke to you yesterday.
10:43It's not fair.
10:45How can we help?
10:49I need to leave.
10:51Leave, shorty.
10:55Megan is in.
10:57I'm going.
10:59Going back home.
11:01So?
11:02It's dad's call.
11:04No, no, hell no.
11:05We're not letting you go with the fella that did that to you.
11:08She's right, man.
11:09Just stay.
11:10We can figure it out.
11:12I don't know how much I wish I could.
11:15So stay.
11:18I can't.
11:22How do we stay in touch?
11:24You don't.
11:26What?
11:27Don't contact me.
11:31You're a good person.
11:33You know that, eh?
11:39I'm going to miss you guys, right?
11:41We'll always be, yeah.
11:44Tyler.
11:53Hei te wāti toki e mara.
12:02Tyler?
12:04Tyler?
12:08Tyler?
12:11Try again, love.
12:16Ah.
12:17How are you thinking?
12:19Yeah, you take this, all right?
12:20Smash it.
12:22And aim for my throat.
12:24If you press hard enough, I'll bleed out in 30 seconds.
12:27Get the hell out of my house.
12:28Oh, come on.
12:30That's no way to treat your future father-in-law now, is it?
12:33You're Tyler's dad?
12:35Yeah.
12:37I just didn't know you were coming.
12:39Well, that's on me, and I'm sorry.
12:41But I wanted to surprise my boy.
12:45Where is he?
12:46He'll be back soon.
12:48Gives us a chance to get to know each other.
12:50Daniel.
12:53Poppy.
12:54The famous Poppy.
12:58Want to sit down?
13:11So, another one bites the dust.
13:15I'm sorry?
13:17You certainly are a breaker.
13:21He seems to think you're the real deal, though.
13:24Well, yeah.
13:25We love each other.
13:26What do you love about him?
13:29Come on.
13:29It's not like I usually get this opportunity.
13:32I'm normally done in two minutes.
13:35Tyler's a good person.
13:36Mm-hmm.
13:38He's kind.
13:39And smart.
13:40He cares.
13:42Right.
13:45I don't know what you're doing here, but if you're going to try and take him away...
13:48You'll stop me, will you love?
13:52Poppy.
13:52Hey, this sounds like a one-in-a-million situation.
13:56You think I'm going to get in the way of something that's real?
14:00Tyler's got his heart set on you, clearly.
14:02And he's determined, that kid.
14:04He sets his mind to something.
14:05There's no stopping him.
14:07There was this job a few years back.
14:09Got out of hand.
14:10I mean, it's my job to fix things.
14:11I was a man down, and Tyler insisted on helping me.
14:15He was still in school, right?
14:17But I thought, okay.
14:19I had a guy who needed...
14:21Kept it quiet, and I thought Ty could keep an eye on him.
14:24Make sure he didn't call anyone.
14:25Make sure he didn't go anywhere.
14:27Ty went above and beyond.
14:29Couldn't get much quieter once Ty was done with him.
14:33What are you saying?
14:34That Ty killed him?
14:36He would never do that?
14:37He's not like you.
14:39Sweetheart.
14:43You've got no idea who my son is.
14:50Trust me.
14:52You're better off without him.
14:56Time's up, bud.
14:58I can't move without seeing the right of Poppy.
15:00Well, unless she skips around the corner in the next couple of seconds, you're shit out of luck.
15:04Oi.
15:06Two minutes.
15:10Have you seen Poppy anywhere, mate?
15:12No, I don't think she's here.
15:15You were just going to leave without saying goodbye to me.
15:19How did you...
15:20Caught Cloudy crying in the locker room.
15:21Right.
15:24Jesus, Tyler.
15:26It's fine.
15:26It's done.
15:28I shouldn't have fought harder for you.
15:31Backed you more.
15:32Been a better mentor.
15:33Are you kidding me?
15:35People steal in because of me.
15:36I don't care about that.
15:39People ask too much of you, Maeve.
15:44The nurses are going to be pretty fast.
15:45They don't have anything nice to look at anymore.
15:50That wasn't yet a thing for me.
15:54Let me help you.
15:56You already have.
15:57I can do more.
15:59Ty.
16:06Just look out for Poppy for me.
16:08No, don't.
16:08Don't go, okay?
16:09I know what it's like to feel like you're out of options, but there is always something.
16:17Look, you don't know what my dad's like.
16:21If I stay, he's going to put you on with danger.
16:24So figure it out.
16:25Do you know how many people in this hospital would help you?
16:29House you, hide you?
16:32Maeve.
16:33Trust me.
16:35Okay.
16:36Trust us.
16:49I mean, he might just be at home.
16:52I'm going to check in the Ark.
16:54Yeah, I'm going to plug for him.
16:59May I?
17:01Go for it.
17:04Brazil nuts.
17:05Nice.
17:06You know, they give you your entire daily selenium needs.
17:10Help yourself.
17:11Really?
17:12They're just nuts.
17:13Not front row tickets to the gay parade.
17:16Are you talking about pride?
17:18Oh, what I know.
17:19Well, you can't get front row tickets to pride, though.
17:22You can get nuts.
17:25See what you did there.
17:27So, how is the Ark?
17:30I'm a bit slow at first, but we've got some interesting stuff now.
17:33Good team.
17:35Stunning.
17:35No, I wouldn't go that far.
17:37Well, Maeve said that you're going well.
17:41So, she is reporting on me.
17:43No, I just asked her how you were going.
17:44I might have known all roads would lead back to you.
17:47So, what's next?
17:48Get the blonde windbag on receptionist, stick a camera on my scrubs, send all the footage to you?
17:54These don't tell Maeve that I...
17:57...talk to you.
18:00If you have hurt you, most of you have the entrance, please...
18:03What?
18:04Libby just gave me my new swipe card.
18:07Do you need words of affirmation for basic administration?
18:11It's nice of you to let me know.
18:13Dr. Rumpata.
18:14Ah!
18:18Yes.
18:19Thank you for hand-delivering to me.
18:22Dr. Rumpata.
18:23Explain.
18:24Well, you're right.
18:27Dove means nothing in this hospital.
18:29But we're all what it is.
18:35That slimy, entitled, corner-cutting little snake.
18:38Okay, let's just take a breath.
18:40No, I will not breathe.
18:41Esther's stuck me in the ark for the next few days.
18:43Apparently everyone's put their names on some stupid piece of paper saying that she has to sign every surgery off.
18:48So, good luck finding me anything decent.
18:50Okay, that's a little, um...
18:52Meanwhile, she's reincarnating herself as a prodigal child.
18:58Why are you smiling?
18:59I just think things might start looking up for you.
19:03Andrew.
19:06The scan showed a mess in the upper lobe of your right lung.
19:10So we're referring you for a biopsy.
19:12So we can check if it's malignant or not.
19:15Yeah.
19:16Okay.
19:17It's cancer.
19:18My dad died of lung cancer, so...
19:20Of course I've got it.
19:22There's no need to panic yet.
19:23Jesus.
19:24This is really happening.
19:26Just wait for the biopsy, mate.
19:27I'd hoped I'd have longer.
19:30Hey, keep it together.
19:32What?
19:33You're getting ahead of yourself, man.
19:35But my dad...
19:36My dad died.
19:38Crying doesn't help anyone.
19:39Just wait for the facts.
19:41That's enough.
19:43Excuse me.
19:46Would you please not interrupt me?
19:48You're leaving, idiot, and time to process.
19:50Just order the biopsy.
19:52What is your problem?
19:53You are.
19:55Sage told me about your stupid little reports back to him.
19:59Okay, whatever Sage said, it's not...
20:00Oh, just cut the crap, will you?
20:01I am so tired of people trying to force me into being someone that I don't even remember.
20:06Get used to this version of me, because this is me.
20:11Why anyone bothered with you is beyond me.
20:13Yeah.
20:15I'm not worth it.
20:17So don't bother.
20:20Thank you for coming.
20:22Just wanted to get all the senior surgeons together.
20:24Then why is she here?
20:26Well, I have an announcement.
20:28As you know, surgery is not my department.
20:31But do you know what is?
20:34Vision.
20:36So I'd like to introduce to you our new face of Shorten Street.
20:58What are you doing here?
20:59Look, as far as you wanted.
21:02Job's a job.
21:04We did it so he wouldn't go to prison.
21:06Just take a look.
21:14And don't worry about that constable.
21:17We have a little chat.
21:18Turns out a couple of gang members were to play.
21:21Oh.
21:27Hey.
21:28Hey, have you seen Tyler?
21:29I thought he was at home, but...
21:30He's gone.
21:32Back to Australia.
21:38It's my number.
21:40Don't use it unless your other option's dead.
21:42Okay?
21:44It's the last favour Tyler's doing for you.
21:50And there's this.
22:03Poppy, I'm sorry.
22:05I'm sorry I didn't get to say goodbye.
22:08I'm sorry I dragged you into all of this.
22:11None of it was fair on you.
22:13I guess I just thought it could really be different.
22:16I thought we could carve out our own life.
22:19Together.
22:22But I'm always going to be my father's son.
22:25My sister's brother.
22:28Hudson.
22:30Still, if I could do it all again, I wouldn't change a thing.
22:35These past few months have been the best of my life.
22:40I love this place so much.
