00:00Previously on Shortland Street
00:02I heard a suspicious substance was found at your place
00:04We can't steal drugs, you've seen the security
00:06We can't do nothing, this will just get worse
00:08I know
00:10I'll make a call, I've got someone in mind
00:11Poppy, it's me
00:12I need you to talk to your dad about Dalton
00:14I tried, okay, it's no use, he's not going to listen
00:17Look, there's one more thing I can try, but I need a day
00:23So your MRI confirmed
00:26The cervicothoracic cyst on your spine
00:28And there's some bleeding inside
00:30Which is compressing your spinal cord
00:32And causing this an increase in the pain
00:35But you've got this, eh Esther?
00:37She's got you
00:38Well actually Izzy will be performing the surgery
00:41Uh, no
00:43Okay, thank you so much, but we'll take Esther
00:46Bob
00:47No Nan, okay
00:49Esther is incredible
00:52Izzy, it's just like another job to her, you know
00:56No offence
00:57But it's like when I had that job at Foursquare at school
00:59Arrived late, leave early
01:01But Esther, she's hard out in the best way
01:05She's right
01:06I mean, I arrive on time
01:09But
01:10Esther's much more experienced
01:12And
01:12I'd want her to
01:14It is a complex surgery
01:16But I wouldn't put you in this position
01:18If I didn't think you were ready
01:19And
01:19Kia mohio mai kui
01:20Izzy is more than capable
01:21Besides, I will be right next to her the entire time
01:23You will be well looked after
01:25Ka pai ko Tiro
01:27You're in charge
01:28No, no, no
01:30Taihoa, okay
01:32I'm sorry, but this is not a learning moment
01:35My Nan is not just some guinea pig
01:37This surgery is huge
01:40Like, permanent damage huge
01:42Oi, shush you
01:44Sorry about her
01:46Seems she's inherited my big mouth
01:50We'll prep you for surgery soon
01:51Okay
01:53Come on Izzy
01:59Ma'am
02:11It's yours
02:16Carl
02:18Me conan
02:18When it's my time
02:20It's my time
02:21And I'm not scared of what's next
02:27So what, we just wait for Tyler to magically save the day?
02:30He told us to give him 24 hours
02:33I'm choosing to trust that
02:34Okay, good
02:35Yeah, let's trust the guy who boosted back home on an hour's notice
02:38We are in over our heads, Poppy
02:40Can you at least admit that?
02:41He just needs some time
02:42Yeah, and we need a backup plan
02:44In case he leaves us hanging
02:46Let's just talk to Chris
02:47I said no
02:48He's got more power
02:49More experience
02:50More resources
02:51We haven't done anything wrong
02:52He will see that
02:53You
02:54Haven't done anything wrong
02:56No, we haven't done anything
02:57Just no, Billy
02:57The more people we tell
02:59The more complicated this gets
03:00I'm asking for one day
03:03Fine
03:05One day
03:06Thank you
03:07We'll get better
03:09Wish I got paid to stand around yapping
03:12The parent mics are truly the most hideous things I have ever seen
03:15So if you want me to accidentally smash them, just say the word
03:18Nuts and an energy drink
03:20Interesting choice
03:21What are you, the snack police?
03:23The opposite
03:23I'm a snack neighbour
03:25Head of the snack union
03:26Well, that's stupid
03:27Sue me for trying to keep things light after the last couple of days
03:33What?
03:34He's annoyed
03:34I find him
03:35He's
03:36He annoys me
03:38I see
03:39Yes, that's a very reasonable request
03:42I'll get you set up in an office
03:43ASAP
03:43Thanks, Chris
03:48Have you got a quick minute for a wedding chat?
03:51Yes
03:52Yes, I'm all ears
03:53Er, Izzy can be a witness
03:55And you can bring the other one
03:56Finn, maybe
03:57Oh, okay, I'm really sorry
03:59I have to get this
04:01Yeah, we'll talk all about it really soon
04:03Guy
04:05You
04:07Yeah, look, like I said
04:08In my message
04:09I don't care about the money
04:12I've let it go
04:14So the neck brace is
04:15It's pre-emptive
04:17Didn't know that was a thing
04:18And how many bomb attacks have you been involved in, Paul?
04:22Yeah, exactly
04:23Oh, my God
04:27After all I have done for him
04:28And I still don't get an invite
04:29Isn't it small and intimate?
04:31I can do small and intimate
04:33Registry office, small and intimate
04:35They're getting married at a registry office
04:37Oh
04:39Still would have been nice to have got an invite
04:41I wouldn't take it personally
04:42Chris is busy
04:43Tank needs an office
04:44We need an office
04:44He's putting out a lot of fires
04:46You're right
04:47He's being really selfless
04:50And I have a second lease on life
04:53So luckily for him
04:54I'm willing to share
04:57And you just sprung it on her
04:59Well, she's more than ready
05:01She just needs to be pushed out of the nest
05:02I like your style, Dr. Samuels
05:05I actually can't do this
05:08What if I cause irreversible neurological damage?
05:10What if I paralyze her?
05:11No one is paralyzing anyone
05:12What if I kill her then?
05:14It's good to be nervous
05:15It means you're taking it seriously
05:16And you're not going to be alone
05:18I'll be in there with you
05:19This is Cindy's nan
05:20Right now she's your patient
05:22Look, Esther trusts you
05:23That's a pretty solid endorsement
05:26And I second it
05:29There's no chance that you'll actually just do it
05:32No
05:37Okay
05:38Let's start planning the approach then
05:52Not a fan of motorbikes
05:53Not a fan of how much work they bake for us
05:56More work than car crashes?
05:58Well, in terms of quantity, no
06:00But only because most sane people drive things with four wheels
06:03You don't want to throw stones?
06:05I'm told you're a horse girl
06:06No
06:07You know horses are way more dangerous
06:09Not if you know how to ride them properly
06:11Oh, well, I'm sure you're an excellent rider
06:15But can you apply those same skills to a motorbike?
06:19Yeah
06:20Okay
06:21Prove it
06:22I don't have to prove anything to you
06:23Just around the car park
06:24Unless you're scared
06:27Okay, well, what do we do?
06:29For starters
06:31You get on
06:32What?
06:33With you?
06:34Think I'll let you take her for a solo ride?
06:36We can rain check
06:37If you're not up to it
06:43Here
06:43Let me
06:48Cute
06:57What?
06:57Waste
06:58Excuse me?
06:59Put your arms around my waist
07:01It's a safety thing, Phil
07:04Now hold on tight
07:12How is it?
07:13I hate it, obviously
07:17A female, 57
07:18Excuse me, over here
07:19In a high-speed crash
07:21She was self-extricated at the scene
07:23No LOC
07:24But she's got abdominal pain and chest pain
07:27Okay
07:27On my count
07:28One, two, and three
07:33BJ, I need you to remove the stretcher
07:37BJ
07:39You appear to have mentally vacated the premises
07:41Sorry, I'm just
07:42I, um
07:44You
07:44I lost, um
07:46One at the scene
07:48Okay, I'm sorry to hear that
07:50But I still need the stretcher removed
07:52Yeah
07:54May, could you please help Emmett?
07:56Patient needs two large-bore IVs
07:57I've got my hands full here
07:59Uh, sorry
08:00We need to monitor another patient
08:03No, we don't
08:04You can go and help Sage
08:05No, no, no
08:05It's fine
08:06I can find somebody else
08:07Need some help here, please
08:08Don't worry
08:09I've got it under control
08:10Now, please
08:11Guys, I'm fine
08:12You can leave me for one minute
08:14And you can go help Emmett
08:16Look at the guy
08:17He's literally unconscious
08:19Okay
08:19I'll be back in a sec
08:22Finally
08:23He needs two litres of saline, please
08:24Copy that
08:26This is ridiculous
08:29Hey, hey
08:29Hey, hey
08:31Stop
08:44I'll be right here
08:45Okay
08:46Until you go to sleep
08:50I'll be right here
09:05I'll be right here
09:38I'll be right here
10:14I love you.
10:19I love you too.
10:30What do you mean you forgot the rings?
10:32What is this mess?
10:34Sorry, I was helping Tank get set up in a new office.
10:38I'll go off to work.
10:39No, it's fine. I know you're busy.
10:42It just makes me wonder.
10:43I love you and I want to marry you now.
10:46Okay.
10:48So let's get the ball rolling.
10:50Understood. I'll get the rings.
10:53I will pick up the rings.
10:55You don't have to do that.
10:56I do. I googled the place while you were speaking and it shouts before you finish.
11:00I'll go tomorrow.
11:01You really didn't pick up on Mariyama's tone at all, did you?
11:04No. It's okay.
11:05I've got Paul wrapped around my finger.
11:08Like a ring, incidentally.
11:11Why do you have a neck brace?
11:13It's preventative.
11:15Okay.
11:17You looked right at me.
11:19You don't remember that?
11:21No.
11:22It's okay.
11:23I'm sure there's an explanation.
11:26Well, what if there isn't?
11:28What if I'm just blacking out and I can't even do my job?
11:32Hey.
11:34I am so sorry.
11:35I never should have left you.
11:36No, it's okay.
11:37I should be able to be left alone for more than two minutes.
11:42Cody, come inside and take a seat.
11:50What happened?
11:51I left him for a minute and he pushed a bit.
11:54I was very specific about how the supervision system works.
11:57Every minute counts.
11:59Will you be able to handle that tonight?
12:01Of course.
12:02He's my boyfriend, so I'm basically with him like every minute.
12:04Good.
12:05Stick to normal routine.
12:06Keep communication open and stay with him at all times.
12:14You okay?
12:15Yeah.
12:17Did you see something else?
12:20What do you mean?
12:21With Cody.
12:22You seem a bit off.
12:24No.
12:25Just a lot going on.
12:35I didn't mean to upset you before we were busy and I needed access to the patient, but
12:40I can see how my directness may have come across harshly, especially given the circumstances.
12:45Of course, that's how you apologize.
12:47What does that mean?
12:49Just all logic, no feelings.
12:51I have feelings.
12:52I just don't like them to get in the way of my work.
12:55That doesn't make sense to me.
12:57Sorry, but like, the two are inseparable, right?
12:59I mean, it's not like we're twiddling things around on an Excel spreadsheet.
13:03We're dealing with people's lives.
13:05How can that not make you feel something?
13:09I'm going to go for a little walk, because unlike you, I can't just bounce back from people dying on
13:15me.
13:1597.
13:17Sorry, what?
13:20I counted every patient I lost until I got to 97.
13:24Okay.
13:24And then what, they just started sort of merging into one for you?
13:27Didn't hit so hard, or?
13:28No, 97 is when I realized I had it the wrong way around.
13:31You honor the people you lose.
13:33But the important number to count is how many people I've saved.
13:38Everyone finds a different way of coping.
13:41But BJ, you are good at this job, and it would be a shame if you left, because you couldn't
13:44find yours.
13:59Why am I here?
14:01Well, I'm assuming that black eye has something to do with it.
14:04I'm in a prison.
14:05Listen, I'd like to get a black eye than a hot dinner.
14:09Okay.
14:09Well, it says here that you were sent to us for a traumatic brain injury assessment.
14:14They've had worse head knocks.
14:16Yeah, well, often it's hard to tell how bad they are at the time, but the fact that you were
14:19out for so long suggests there was quite an impact.
14:22Out?
14:24Yeah, unconscious for ten minutes.
14:28I wasn't out.
14:30I could describe every vein on Jimmy's knuckle if you want.
14:34Okay.
14:35Well, what about dizziness?
14:37It says here you've been experiencing.
14:39No, just a sore face.
14:41Confusion?
14:42Confused while they sent me here.
14:44The prison docs usually just give you the once over and send you packing.
14:47Okay.
14:48Okay, I am going to shine a bright light into your eyes.
14:57Equal and reactive.
14:59I will order a scan anyway.
15:01Can't you just send me back?
15:02You want to go back?
15:05Um, one sec.
15:12Still not out?
15:16You know as well as I do, surgeries can take longer than we estimate.
15:27Everything went perfectly.
15:29Izzy did an amazing job.
15:32Gamahi Nui.
15:34She's okay.
15:40You saved my favourite person.
15:44I don't know.
15:45I'm sorry I doubted you.
15:47No, Nan's in recovery.
15:48Go the more he will you want to be there when she wakes up.
15:55Thank you both.
16:01It was all you.
16:03Mm-hmm.
16:10You did a good job of getting yourself to me.
16:13Just please make sense of everything.
16:16I'm so tired of feeling love this.
16:18I think you should write a note in your journal.
16:21Introduce yourself and see who writes back.
16:24What do you mean, who would write back?
16:25I don't know.
16:27Potentially no one.
16:29But at this stage, it's worth exploring all avenues.
16:32You think I'm crazy?
16:33Like, crazy, crazy?
16:35Do you think I have multiple personalities?
16:37At present, we can't rule out dissociative identity disorder.
16:41But there's a lot of diagnoses we can't rule out.
16:43What, so do I just write a note saying,
16:45Hi, I'm Cody, I'm going insane, write back if you're also insane.
16:49I would suggest something more like,
16:52Hi, I'm Cody, I don't fully understand what's happening,
16:55but if you know more, I'm open to listening.
16:59Great.
17:00My prison guard's here to escort me out.
17:02Cody.
17:03The supervision system is temporary.
17:05Just until we understand a little more.
17:07Great.
17:09Write the note.
17:14Sage.
17:16Be gentle with him, okay?
17:19He's struggling.
17:23Thanks for that, Libby.
17:24I do appreciate it.
17:27I'll do it.
17:28Do what?
17:29Organise your wedding.
17:30Oh, there's no need.
17:32It'll be so small, we'll be okay.
17:34Mariyama is already annoyed at you.
17:36You couldn't even pick up the rings.
17:37Haven't you heard of happy wife, happy life?
17:39But we just want something small after the registry office.
17:44Small, cute, demure.
17:46Got it.
17:46Are you sure, Libby?
17:47Just casual, small.
17:50A wedding for ants.
17:51Got it.
17:54I can't imagine you doing a small wedding.
17:57A Warner wedding small?
17:59No way.
18:00I'm not going to let Chris cheap out on a woman like Mariyama.
18:03Don't.
18:04Look.
18:07Hey, so you're a night-time snacker.
18:09Well, seems more respectable than sneaking to the Vando for an 8am energy drink.
18:14So, can you just buy a Luna's and just drive one of those things?
18:17Aha, she relents.
18:19Shut up.
18:21You are one secure man.
18:23If that was me, I'd be freaking out.
18:25What's there to worry about?
18:26She jumped on his motorbike today and she put her arms around him.
18:30Surely that's a safety thing?
18:32You were offering Phil up on a platter and just trusting that she'll come back.
18:36If that was me, I'd do something about it.
18:39She's my girlfriend.
18:40She wouldn't.
18:45Congratulations.
18:46You did a great job in there.
18:49Thanks, I don't.
18:53Why am I crying?
18:55It's a stressful job.
18:58You hold a lot.
19:01Cindy would have killed me if it went wrong.
19:05Very likely.
19:08I can't believe I'm crying.
19:12I'm proud of you, Liz.
19:15Don't say that, because now I'm going to cry more.
19:19Otherwise, it's still happening.
19:22It's because you care about a patient.
19:27Well, if this is what it feels like, I am never doing it again.
19:32No, you'll get used to it.
19:42BJ is just staring at the patient in the cube of three.
19:48I'll handle it.
19:55She's going home without a husband.
19:59What?
20:01She's going home.
20:02Mm-hmm.
20:04I just wish I could have stopped.
20:07Which ones do we count?
20:09The ones we can save.
20:12And now her children still have their mother.
20:23That was really nice.
20:27Who knew this robot could demote?
20:36Okay.
20:37Yeah.
20:38All right.
20:40You all good?
20:42Yeah.
20:43Yeah.
20:44Dalton wants a favor.
20:45It's fine.
20:46It's fine.
20:46He just wants to talk to a patient.
20:48You said no, right?
20:50Poppy, there is no way you're letting him.
20:52It's not like he wants us to rob the hospital again.
20:55Talking to a patient is fine.
20:57No, I don't like it.
20:57What patient?
20:59Just some prisoner.
21:03A prisoner?
21:04Come on, Poppy.
21:05He's up to something and you know it.
21:06What choice do I have?
21:07Billy?
21:08I don't like doing his bidding, but at least his job isn't illegal.
21:11And besides, maybe we can use it as leverage for the drug charges and put an end to it.
21:16You reckon that'd work?
21:18Yes.
21:20Okay, yeah, let's go.
21:22Hey.
21:33Cindy.
21:34Jesus.
21:37Sorry, I was watching Cody and then I started overthinking everything and I got really stressed out and I'm just
21:43starting to feel a bit overwhelmed.
21:45It's okay.
21:45It's okay.
21:46Chill, chill, chill.
21:48It's like you're a hole.
21:49Deep breath in.
21:52Or small ones.
21:54That'll do.
21:55Oh my God, your nan.
21:56Is she okay?
21:57Oh, she's okay.
21:59She's doing a lot better than what you are.
22:02Come on.
22:03You can talk to me.
22:08It's just...
22:09It's just been a really big day.
22:13Cody's psychiatrist is getting me to supervise him, which obviously he hates.
22:16So he went to bed, but every time he makes a noise in the night, I start to freak out.
22:21And I'm just, I'm starting to think that maybe I can't do this.
22:26Okay.
22:27Something happened today.
22:31There was this patient and Cody just...
22:37I thought I knew him.
22:38Like, you know, I really thought I knew him, but I'm just starting to think that maybe there's this whole
22:41other side of him that...
22:45I'm scared.
22:47I'm really, really scared.
22:50What are you scared of?
22:54Him.
22:56Him.
23:03Him.
23:04Him.
