FunTranscript
00:00Previously on Shortland Street, I'm scared really.
00:03And if losing another...
00:04Bingo.
00:05Okay, law.
00:06But you have to decide whether the pain of losing is worse than the pain of what if.
00:11I'll give you a small supply for acute episodes only.
00:15Oh my god, you're hurt.
00:16Hey, that thing that you mentioned with the bins, what was it?
00:19The recycling.
00:20Yeah, you almost castrated me for Offred to Dove for you.
00:27She woke up twice last night.
00:28And I mean, like, properly, not just grisly.
00:31I think it's either teething or the formula.
00:34Yeah, she's been absolutely full of wind.
00:36Wind? I know.
00:37She's already burped, like, 14 times this morning.
00:3914?
00:4014!
00:41I think we should change the formula.
00:42Change the formula?
00:43Yeah.
00:44Sounds like we have a plan.
00:47Oh, sorry, I need to take this.
00:51Cheers.
00:54Hello, Marty Walker speaking.
00:58Uh, well, that's great.
01:00Yeah, I can make that work.
01:03No, no.
01:04Not a problem.
01:05Yeah, yeah.
01:06We have plenty of space here.
01:10Okay.
01:11Thanks.
01:13That was family services.
01:15I'm moving forward with my application to foster Edda.
01:18You applied to foster her?
01:20Yeah, she has no one else.
01:22What about extended family?
01:23Aunties, uncles?
01:24No.
01:25No one's suitable to take her.
01:26Okay, are you sure that's wise?
01:28What do you mean?
01:30Well, given your history with her parents.
01:31Well, that's exactly why I need to step up.
01:34I can't change the past, but I can be here for her now.
01:37Okay, but have you thought about the practicalities?
01:39We're barely coping with one baby.
01:41Well, Edda's older.
01:41She'll be much easier.
01:43Marty, she's a traumatized kid.
01:44Who has no one else in the world?
01:49Look, I already told them yes.
01:53Right.
01:55I'm going to be late.
01:56I'll get my stuff.
02:01Any loss of consciousness?
02:04One minute my mate was telling me about last night's dream.
02:06Next thing I knew, I was on the floor.
02:09Those conversations will do that to you.
02:12Pupils are dilated and reactive.
02:14That's good.
02:15You got any history of anxiety?
02:18Yeah, I get a bit spinny sometimes.
02:20Spinny how?
02:21Like tunnel vision?
02:22Buzzing in the ears?
02:24Right.
02:24That's scary.
02:26Yeah.
02:27What was your full name?
02:30Daniel Rees.
02:32Sorry.
02:33Daniel Rees?
02:34Get it together, Munro.
02:36Sorry.
02:37Right.
02:38We'll sort out that nasty cut and I'll prescribe something to settle things down a little,
02:43all right?
02:43Just...
02:45Clean out the leg and give him one milligram of lorazepam.
02:48Don't you think two would be better?
02:50One.
02:51Sure.
02:52Uh, do you want me to take over?
02:54What?
02:54No.
02:55I'm fine.
02:56Why?
02:56You just...
02:57You seem a bit out of it.
02:58No, I just need a coffee.
03:06Follow up with the leg.
03:07Make sure Jenna's been able to catch up on that backlog, yep?
03:10Yep.
03:11Okay.
03:11Good.
03:12Thanks.
03:25You're pretty invested in the Cindy thing, eh?
03:28Yeah, I just don't like seeing my girl get screwed over and that Izzy's something else.
03:33Yeah, well...
03:33I don't need a little more to tell me that this is distraction, okay?
03:37Because even if it is, two things can be true.
03:39Linger, it's okay to feel things.
03:41You don't need to keep reminding me.
03:43Ah, dammit.
03:45I thought I was about to beat my high score.
03:48Okay, tell me about this whole Scrubbed drama.
03:51Okay, so Cindy was designing Scrubbed and then Izzy, she...
03:55Selena, I'm really sorry to have kept you waiting.
03:58The thought went well.
03:59Your embryo is viable.
04:00Oh my god!
04:01The transfer itself will only take 15 minutes and we'll monitor you briefly afterwards and then you're free to go
04:05home.
04:05I'll stay.
04:07Of course.
04:07Just give me a moment and we'll get started.
04:10If this doesn't work, we're going to Vegas.
04:12Hmm.
04:12Okay.
04:14Can you sign this drug wastage form for me?
04:17What happened?
04:18I dropped it.
04:19One mink.
04:19Razepam.
04:20On the floor?
04:21Yeah.
04:22Where is it?
04:23I binned it.
04:25You didn't get anyone to witness?
04:25That is protocol.
04:26Yeah, I know.
04:27Everyone was busy.
04:29Can you just sign it, please?
04:33You feeling better?
04:34You look terrible.
04:35Exactly what I want to hear from my boyfriend.
04:37I'm just tired.
04:38Okay, well, we'll get an early night tonight because our flight from the car was at 7am.
04:42Oh, damn.
04:44Can we not get the 5am one?
04:47Kelly Elms, 42, came into the arc with abdo pain.
04:50Obs were stable, so I was waiting on a urine and an x-ray, but she's now tacky at 142.
04:53BP's dropped to 90 systolic, so she's all yours.
04:56Sage.
04:57Cody.
04:58Cube 2.
04:58Let's get an IV in, fast fluid and cross match.
05:01Copy.
05:01Could you please do some bloods, please, Brian?
05:03Do you want a lactate?
05:04What?
05:04I said, do you want a lactate?
05:06Yeah.
05:07Right, let's get back to the arc.
05:10Do we have to?
05:11Yeah, I'm not going to play peanut butter by myself.
05:13No, of course not.
05:18Warehouse raid.
05:19Five arrests.
05:20A bit of excitement.
05:22Someone putting a shine on your day.
05:25Just a friend?
05:25Yeah, a close one from that expression.
05:30Ooh, coffee number four.
05:33Three.
05:34Cool.
05:35Why?
05:35Nothing.
05:37Sage.
05:38Mm-hmm?
05:38Just stop.
05:39I'm still going to get an early night, and I'm still going to have a good night's sleep,
05:44and I'm going to get on the plane.
05:45Okay, let's just not go.
05:46What?
05:47Seriously, we do not have to go.
05:49But you were so excited.
05:50Exactly.
05:51Cody, I am excited.
05:53You're stressed, and you're tired, and you're being a bit weird.
05:57Well, yeah, I mean, I guess if we have to postpone...
06:00Excuse me.
06:01What?
06:02You're supposed to say, no, Sage, don't be silly.
06:04I can't wait to come to Invercargill and hang out with you and your family.
06:07So that was a test?
06:09Well, not intentionally, but you failed.
06:12Sage, this is the last thing I need right now.
06:14Yeah, and the last thing I need is to feel like I'm dragging my boyfriend halfway across
06:17the country.
06:18You're not.
06:18You're not.
06:19I want to come down with you and spend time with your family and see where you're from.
06:23Okay?
06:24I'm allowed to be a bit nervous.
06:26I guess.
06:28And we can cancel it if you prefer that.
06:30Is this another test?
06:31Nope.
06:32Nope.
06:32I promise.
06:34No, let's go.
06:35Thank God.
06:35Because Mum would have flipped.
06:37She had to cancel that recovery.
06:39Are you sure it's not going to be too stressful?
06:40I'll make it work.
06:41I'm sure I can find a way to manage.
06:43I promise.
06:44I love you.
06:45I love you.
06:53New scrubs.
06:54Hmm.
06:55Just a little something I've been developing.
06:57Great design.
06:58Clean lines.
06:59That fabric looks really quality.
07:01Okay, Tom Ford.
07:03It's breathable cloth made from harakiki.
07:05A new sustainable fabric.
07:06Just because we work at a hospital doesn't mean we need to look like sad sacks of laundry.
07:10Honestly, you could sell those.
07:12Funny you should say that.
07:13That's exactly my plan.
07:14Carl, absolutely not.
07:17Excuse me?
07:19Rude.
07:20You do not get to parade around in my mahi like it's yours.
07:23Who handled supply negotiations?
07:25Who organized production?
07:26Who put the pockets in that perfect position?
07:28Who designed literally every other detail and chose harakiki as the fabric?
07:33Well, it would just be some amateur hour scribbles gathering dust in a notebook if it wasn't for me.
07:40Take it off.
07:43No.
07:44Take them off.
07:47No.
07:48Get them right now.
07:49Are you insane?
07:51You psycho!
07:53These are my scrubs!
07:54Help!
07:55She's brown!
07:57You're the colonizer here!
07:58I'll hand me, you bitch!
08:00Hey!
08:01What the hell is going on?
08:03She stole my scrubs!
08:04I legally own them!
08:06This is my mahi!
08:07This is a hospital.
08:08They do seem durable.
08:11Heckelmux, get up!
08:14And come with me!
08:17Come with me!
08:22You tried to rip scrubs of a surgeon on the floor.
08:25Because she stole my intellectual property and tried to pass it off as her own.
08:30Legally and contractually, I'm...
08:32Oh, stop saying contractually.
08:33This isn't suits.
08:34You're both meant to be highly trained medical professionals, but somehow you've ended up
08:38shooting online and now it's escalated to the point where you're fighting in the hospital.
08:42And did you blindside her with the terms of that contract?
08:44I handled the business stuff.
08:46It wasn't my question.
08:48Look, maybe I could have...
08:52Should have...
08:54Walked her through it properly.
08:57Quee.
08:59Physical altercations are totally unacceptable.
09:01What have you got to say for yourself?
09:03Sorry, Esther.
09:05It just felt like my mahi wasn't being respected at all.
09:08Like, my contribution was being totally erased.
09:15I never meant for you to feel that way.
09:20Why don't we...
09:22Reset?
09:23Like what?
09:24Like, have a proper court at all?
09:27Yeah.
09:28I'm listening.
09:30Good.
09:31Now get out of my office and go and sort it out like grown adults before I confiscate your phones.
09:42I'm waiting on the blood spot, though.
09:44Urine is clear and the pain sounds fairly typical for you.
09:47And the pain sounds fairly typical for you.
09:54Hey, um, did you chase up those STD swabs from yesterday?
09:58Uh, patient Clark?
09:59Yeah.
10:00Negative.
10:00How are you texting?
10:02No one.
10:02Are those drugs?
10:03Nope.
10:04It's nothing.
10:05You're talking to that cop, aren't you?
10:06Oh my god, what's it to you?
10:08Poppy, I'll just say you think he's an asshole and move on.
10:11It's not that.
10:12Well, it's not just that.
10:13Yeah, you don't know him.
10:14I'm not judging you, okay?
10:16I am just trying to look out for you.
10:18So you think I can't look out for myself?
10:20I think there's a pretty big power imbalance between the two of you.
10:23So I'm naive now?
10:25No.
10:25No, but he's in his mid-fifties.
10:27You're in your twenties.
10:28Ugh, didn't pick you to be ageist.
10:30Come on, Poppy, it's about experience and position and...
10:34I can handle myself, thank you.
10:36Yeah.
10:37I'm sure you can.
10:51Shall I just forge your signature then?
10:53What?
10:54Need a medical certificate for work?
10:55Just give me a second.
11:03So what should I do?
11:06Let's go take a look.
11:09I just need something to get me through the weekend.
11:11Your last prescription was yesterday.
11:13I know it sounds weird, but I lost them.
11:16They're a controlled medicine, Cody.
11:17How do you lose them?
11:19I don't know, I'm just...
11:20I haven't been coping.
11:22I'm not sleeping.
11:24I'm seeing Sage's family tomorrow.
11:27Then rules can be triggering.
11:29If I don't get my anxiety under control,
11:31the whole thing's just going to blow up.
11:33I'm going to ruin everything.
11:36I just need something to take the edge off.
11:39Lorazepam isn't for taking the edge off.
11:41It's controlled for a reason.
11:42I can't just dole them out.
11:43I didn't take them, I swear.
11:46I lost them.
11:48I have a couple of samples, but that's it.
11:53We recess when you get back next week.
11:56This is a one-off.
12:01Do you mind if I take one now, in front of you, just in case?
12:04In case of what?
12:06Just in case I forget.
12:09Sure.
12:11Thanks, Naz.
12:12You're a lifesaver.
12:25Hey, I've had to move your 3pm to tomorrow.
12:28You'll be able to do a consult service of the day.
12:30Sorry, I know it's not a...
12:30You moved me out of theatre?
12:32Well, we slammed.
12:33We need you in ED.
12:33Does anyone want to check in with me before deciding what I can make work?
12:36I'm your boss.
12:38I don't have to check in with you if I'm making any scheduling decisions.
12:40Sorry, I said that was...
12:41Don't show children the lot of you.
12:4450-50.
12:45Creative and business.
12:47Full transparency.
12:50Agreed.
12:51No sneaky scrub drops.
12:54No social media meltdowns.
12:56Don't tell me you're cosying up to Devil Wears Prada again.
12:59Oh, we, um, renegotiated.
13:02Exactly, syphilis.
13:04It's a win-win.
13:05I'll leave it when I see the spreadsheets.
13:08Oh, it's the manufacturers.
13:14They pulled out.
13:15Due to reputational concerns and online brand damage.
13:22This is all because of you.
13:24Because of me?
13:26You called me a thief on socials.
13:29Because you tried to do me dirty.
13:31You escalated it publicly.
13:33You ambushed production.
13:35You tried to pants me.
13:36You ruined my dream.
13:39You did that all by yourself, Cindy.
13:42Congratulations.
13:43You now own 50% nothing.
13:48So, you feeling all right?
13:50Not dizzy, lightheaded or anything?
13:52Oh, just stop fussing.
13:53I'm fine.
13:54Okay.
13:54Not crampy or anything weird?
13:55You're giving me a headache.
13:57Sorry.
13:58You know what?
13:58I will take you home and then I'll head back in.
14:01No, you won't.
14:03We googled post-embryo transfer etiquette.
14:06Low-scented flower seems safest.
14:09Perfect.
14:10You're going home too?
14:11I can't double shift.
14:12Not anymore.
14:13Maeve.
14:14I've sorted it.
14:15It's just if we're having a baby, I can't afford not to work.
14:17I know.
14:18You'll still get paid.
14:19Uh, what do you mean?
14:21Well, I'm you today.
14:23Maeve, you can't just...
14:24Watch me.
14:25We've already warned, E.D., there will be 100% less sports talk.
14:30I mean, you really don't have to...
14:31Who won't to?
14:32Thanks, Maeve.
14:34Now go home, lie down, let your body do its thing,
14:36and then your brother can stop pretending he's fine.
14:38Oi, I am fine.
14:40Please, you ask me what snacks Saskia ate during IVF over five times.
14:45Appreciate you.
14:46It's what we do.
14:50You just stuck with me today, sis?
14:51Yeah, I wouldn't have it any other way.
14:52Nice flowers.
14:53Good news?
14:55Yeah, so far.
14:57I'm happy for you.
14:58Take her home.
14:59No hero shifts.
15:00Already benched.
15:01Excellent.
15:06Dr. Warner.
15:07Unless you have a valid reason for what you said and what you did,
15:11I don't want to hear it.
15:12I'm so sorry.
15:13I must have drunken too much.
15:15I seek valid.
15:17I seek valid.
15:18I seek valid.
15:36I seek valid.
15:58Here you are. I've been looking everywhere for you.
16:00Sorry.
16:01I am covering Vili now, so I need you.
16:04I have to go.
16:05This, this, this.
16:19Drinks later at Molly's. Debrief.
16:22So what, you think that we're cool again?
16:25The deal's dead, so yeah.
16:27You called my mahi nothing.
16:29What? No, I didn't.
16:3150% of nothing, remember?
16:33That was a joke, okay? It wasn't that deep.
16:36It is that deep for me.
16:38It was just business sin.
16:40Yeah, well, we haven't only lost a business deal today.
16:43You've lost a true friend.
16:45That's you, Izzy?
16:46100% service?
16:480% empathy?
16:52Kakite.
16:56I was, um, going to see if you needed a ride, but it looks more like you need a beer.
17:01Or five.
17:02Psh.
17:03Honestly, Poppy, stick to medicine.
17:06The business world is full of snakes.
17:09Yeah, I hate to break it to you, but Izzy exists in the medicine world, too.
17:13Oh, don't remind me.
17:15So, ride?
17:18No, I'm working late now.
17:20Cool.
17:22What's that?
17:24What?
17:25That smile.
17:26What?
17:28You're bringing someone over tonight, eh?
17:31There's nothing.
17:31Nothing.
17:32It's just a bit of fun.
17:34Nah, you've got to give me more than that after the day I've had.
17:37Sheesh.
17:38I deserve it.
17:40Um, well, he's a little older.
17:43Mmm, mature.
17:44I like it.
17:45And he's...
17:47Oh, well, let's just say I would not want Mum to meet him.
17:50Oh, Jesus Christ, Poppy.
17:52You've really got a type, eh?
17:54No, I'm first a son of an Aussie criminal, and now this older bad boy.
17:58You're like the bad men.
17:59Gosh.
18:01Oh, I'm sorry for bringing up Tyler.
18:04It's fine.
18:05Well, you know what they say?
18:06The best way to get over someone is to get under someone.
18:10Ke runga.
18:11Ke raro.
18:12What about you?
18:13Is there anyone on your radar?
18:14Oh, no way, girl.
18:16I'm way too busy being a businesswoman.
18:18Well, almost.
18:19Hey, you'll get there.
18:20I would sell an organ for a pair of scrubs that don't shave, okay?
18:23And no others will, too.
18:25Yay.
18:26One day.
18:27Well.
18:28Anyway, piss off and go have some fun for the both of us.
18:43Peace offering?
18:44That's about you biting my head off.
18:45Mm.
18:50Well, that's a decent word.
18:52I suppose I can forgive you.
18:54I asked the guy at the wine shop what wouldn't embarrass me.
18:58Huh?
18:59Look, I'm so sorry.
19:00I said that.
19:01It wasn't about you.
19:02Okay.
19:03So, who was it about?
19:08Marty wants to foster Etta Riddell.
19:11He's already made an application with Family Services, and apparently it's going ahead.
19:18Wow.
19:20Hey.
19:23What's your take on that?
19:26I don't think it's wise.
19:29Well, that's an understatement.
19:31We're barely coping as it is.
19:34Chloe hardly sleeps.
19:35Both of us are working.
19:37Everyone's exhausted.
19:38And Etta's not just some kid.
19:39She's been through serious trauma.
19:41She's not some, what, redemption pet project.
19:45You think it's about his guilt?
19:47You don't.
19:49But how do I say to him I don't want him to adopt an abused child?
19:52Well, yeah, Naz, you're clearly far too selfish to house a traumatised orphan.
19:58It's disgraceful behaviour.
20:00Really, really off-brand for you, considering you've been helping my ex-husband raise a baby
20:03that he had with your ex-fiancée.
20:07Savage.
20:08It's only funny because it's true.
20:10And you're allowed to worry about your own capacity.
20:11Like, just because you're not blindly noble like Marty doesn't make you Cruella de Vil.
20:16Thanks, sister.
20:21So you came straight from work?
20:25I came over like you asked.
20:28That's what you wanted, right?
20:30Can I see your gun?
20:32Police in New Zealand don't carry guns.
20:34I know you've got one.
20:42That's it.
20:43What'd you expect?
20:45I don't know.
20:46Something bigger, maybe?
20:50Safety's on.
20:56It's heavy.
20:59Finger.
21:01Off the trigger.
21:06So this is what it feels like?
21:08What?
21:11Having everyone have to do what you say.
21:15Hands up.
21:17Careful.
21:18Why?
21:19You took the bullets out?
21:21Did I?
21:22On your knees.
21:37You should always check the chamber.
21:39You are trouble.
21:45You like trouble.
21:46You don't know.
21:58You行.
22:08You're hard.
22:11You're fine.
22:20I had to fly down by myself.
22:23I was so embarrassed and everyone was asking where you were and I had to make up another
22:26excuse for you.
22:29No, Fiji, obviously Invercargill, Cody.
22:33No calls, no texts, nothing.
22:36You just completely ignored me.
22:37I mean, why?
22:39Where have you been all weekend?
22:43No.
