00:01Previously on Short on the Street
00:03She always wanted more out of life, right up to the end
00:06So honour her, be the man she always knew you could be
00:09It's not that you want to change, but you and me, it's too late
00:12I know, I just wanted to say sorry
00:14He's in ED all morning, I'm heading there now if you want me to pass on something
00:17Will you save you the trouble?
00:18Mate, you've been behaving erratically all week
00:20I can't think straight and things just aren't making sense
00:22Something's not right, it's glucose and sugar pills
00:25I was trying to help you
00:26We are supposed to be together
00:28No, I don't want you
00:29You don't know why you...
00:31Get off!
00:32Woah, woah, woah
00:33Wake up, he doesn't love you
00:40So was it a hard no or a maybe?
00:42I'm pretty sure it was a hard no
00:45Hey, don't you sulk about it
00:46Do you know how many times Selena came over here?
00:48Banging on your door, worried out of her mind
00:52I mean, it's great that you're back to normal
00:54No one's happier about that than me
00:56But what we went through
00:58You have no idea
01:01I'm listening
01:03It was scary, I was way out of my depth
01:06I didn't know if you were going to top yourself or...
01:09I didn't know what to do
01:11Then I hear you crying in the night and I start to freak out and...
01:17Are you all good to be hearing this stuff?
01:24I care about you
01:26But that's what made it so hard
01:28I couldn't just walk away
01:30I couldn't just take a break
01:32Because who knows what you would do
01:38Now let's get your medication and get you back on track
01:42You okay?
01:44You know what? I don't want to take time off
01:46Alright
01:47I want you and me on a plane
01:51Okay, where are you thinking? Fiji? Queenstown?
01:54London
01:55That's a long way for a holiday
01:57Look, we can get a job there
01:59You know we can
02:01One call from Emir and we're in
02:03You want to run away to the UK?
02:05My name is trashed here
02:07No, it's not
02:08The guy who got duped by the security guard
02:11The bipolar doctor
02:13Not that many people know
02:15I just want out
02:17Vivienne, I want you with me
02:20We can start a new life together
02:22A brand new life
02:25A brand new life
02:34Feeling a bit better now?
02:36Yeah
02:37Thank you
02:40Please don't be bells
02:47No, it's from Leon's lawyer
02:50The instructions for the funeral
02:56Oh, and some of the videos Leon made
02:59There's one for me
03:01When did she do that?
03:05There's one for you too
03:07No, she wasn't going to do one for me
03:09It was too hard for her
03:11Well, it's right here, see?
03:13Born a coal
03:14That's weird
03:16It's great
03:18Yeah, I don't think I can do it
03:21You'll cry it out?
03:23Yeah
03:26Maybe later
03:33We can locum
03:34Take time off, be tourists
03:36Go up to Scotland, hang out up there
03:39Just give it a few weeks
03:41Let the meds kick in again
03:43And then think about it
03:44Come on, London is pumping
03:46This place is old news
03:49Maybe you could go on your own
03:51I'm not going without you, Phil
03:54What?
03:56Don't you think a break would be good?
04:01You can't forgive me for Natalie
04:03Of course I can
04:04No, look
04:05Natalie was a mistake
04:07I'm not going to use my bipolar as an excuse
04:10I own that
04:13I don't care about Natalie
04:15This is what we do
04:17Both of us, we stuff up and then we say sorry
04:19And then we kiss and make up
04:20No, we need to get real
04:22I am
04:23We, this, it's toxic
04:26Gee, thanks
04:28It is
04:29But we're good together
04:33We're not
04:34We just hurt each other over and over
04:36But we love each other more
04:39This kind of love is nasty
04:43And I know I've been torturing you
04:45I've been being mean
04:46Hey, don't get over it
04:49No, you won't
04:51Because I'm in love with someone else
04:57Harper
05:00I love him
05:01And I have for a very long time
05:07She has a family
05:08I know
05:10What, you don't even care about her children
05:12Of course I do
05:13You don't even think about them
05:15Or Drew
05:16We don't want to hurt anyone
05:17So what, she's going to leave him for you
05:20No, it's over
05:22So what, you're leaving me for nothing
05:24You and me, we don't work together
05:27Yeah, we do
05:28No, we don't
05:31Being with Harper, it showed me something
05:35What?
05:36That things could be better
05:39And I want that for you too
05:41I want you to go and find the one for you
05:44Love her and let her love you
05:48So this is it?
05:51Yeah
05:52It's been a wild trip
05:57It's over
05:59Yeah
06:01It's over
06:10It's over
06:23So never underestimate the power of a good bribe
06:28It's the only way I got Nicole potty trained
06:33But you're such a good mother
06:35Just listen to your instincts
06:37And they'll hold you in good stead
06:41Knox is the luckiest little boy on the planet
06:44Don't forget that
06:47And don't doubt yourself
06:50I see such a capable young woman
06:54With a great many things ahead of her
06:58Well, my darling
07:01Lots of love
07:03I hope you'll still talk to me
07:07I'll be listening
07:10It's all true
07:12I miss her
07:13Yeah, we all do
07:15I need to check on Knox
07:23That was beautiful
07:25Your mum's left us a real gift
07:27She'll be stoked if that's such a hit
07:30It's like she's still with us
07:32I think that was the thing
07:34You wanna watch our ones?
07:36No, I need to find a caterer
07:39What for?
07:41Wait
07:42She doesn't want one
07:44She didn't mean that
07:45No
07:46I knew her better than you, okay?
07:48So just let me do this
07:51Oh no
07:52What is it?
07:53The jazz band have pulled out
07:55They're double booked
07:57Do we really need live music?
07:59They can't do this
08:01Honey, I don't think she wanted a big fuss
08:03She said no else, she just wanted a simple cremation
08:06She didn't mean it
08:07You know what she's like
08:08But we did her living funeral already
08:10We did all the big stuff
08:11Honey, it's so last minute, just let it go
08:14She wanted this band
08:15No, Nick, she didn't
08:17Hi, Jeremy
08:18It's Nicole Miller-Mullins
08:29Maeve
08:31You know what I'm gonna say
08:33Look after my beautiful daughter
08:37Alright, let's pick up where we left off
08:40With what?
08:42Wairikatanu
08:43You're not in, are you?
08:45Yeah, we have to do this right now
08:47Wairikatanu's your home
08:48Your whole whole family's waiting for you
08:50Yeah, no pressure
08:51What do you mean? We planned this
08:53Well, it is their timing
08:55We both need to get out of the city
08:57After leaving, I need to find another surgeon
08:59And if I can't, I am out
09:01It's only a couple of weeks
09:03No, I'm too busy
09:04Okay, what if I said I need a holiday?
09:07Well, then you go
09:08What?
09:09We'll take the kids with you because they'll love it
09:11I'm not going without you
09:13I will meet you there as soon as I can
09:16Deal?
09:17Okay, deal
09:19You better keep that promise
09:21I will
09:22You better
09:25Chris?
09:30I can't give you a job
09:33I'm not asking
09:35Really?
09:37I'm, um, I'm just here to, um
09:42To listen
09:46Well, I don't know what you want me to say
09:49All the things you've been holding back
09:53And we haven't
09:55I scared you
09:57Well, yeah, you could have killed somebody
09:59And then where would you be?
10:00You'd be struck off the register and that would be a waste
10:02And it wasn't the only time
10:05No, there were so many times
10:08Mainly in theatre
10:09I could barely breathe when you walked in
10:10I was just crossing my fingers
10:11Hoping that you weren't completely out of your mind
10:13But
10:16Yeah, I suppose that's it
10:20No, it's not
10:23You needed my help
10:28Yeah
10:30Yeah, I did
10:31I needed somebody to talk to
10:33Somebody who understood what it was like to be responsible for this damn hospital
10:36Because people think they know what we do
10:38But they don't
10:39And I couldn't exactly call TK
10:41He's not doing well right now
10:43And I just, I don't have a rock
10:45Chris
10:47I have Marty, who I love
10:48But he doesn't know
10:49It was you and TK
10:51You were the ones who were supposed to help me
10:53But you were both
10:55Broken
10:58I looked up to you, Chris
11:03And I know I shouldn't feel like this
11:05And I know what you went through was awful
11:07But I felt
11:10Betrayed
11:12And abandoned
11:13And I had nobody to help me
11:15And I didn't know how to help you, so
11:18Yeah, I was pretty much alone
11:19And somehow you managed to make everything feel so much worse
11:29So what's the big news?
11:31Ah
11:33Well firstly
11:35I'd like to thank you for being a good mate
11:38Back at ya?
11:39And for what you did in Earthquake
11:41Okay
11:43And
11:45You know I haven't told many people about my bipolar disorder
11:48But with you I felt like I could trust you
11:51That meant a lot
11:52Your old nosy parker came along and ruined all that
11:55Eh?
11:56Harper, digging around in your medical files
12:00I'd forgotten about that
12:02What was she thinking?
12:05That is a good question
12:07Sometimes I do look at her and think
12:08What is going on in your head, woman?
12:12Doesn't matter though, right?
12:14Cause you love her
12:15Like no one else
12:18Are you sure?
12:21Yeah, I do know that it's late notice
12:25Yeah, I understand
12:28Thank you anyway
12:30Bye
12:32You've done your best
12:33Not good enough
12:34Nick
12:35This is mum's final farewell
12:37And she's not gonna get what she wants
12:43Hey, thank you for coming
12:46Um, I need you to talk to Nick
12:49Did she call you for backup?
12:52How are you?
12:53Yeah, I'm busy, I'm just finalising funeral plans
12:56Hmm, they've told me
12:57Did she?
12:59I'm gonna leave you guys to it
13:05Why do I feel like this is a set up?
13:08That's not my intention
13:10If you want to help, I need a good jazz band
13:13Oh, is that what Leanne wanted?
13:15She had a list of requests
13:17Written down?
13:18No, just things that she told me over the years
13:21So what did she actually write down?
13:24Cremation only
13:26Ah
13:27Yeah
13:28And people in attendance?
13:30Family only
13:32No one else
13:34She didn't mean it
13:36She wanted a big bash for her wake
13:39She wanted a living funeral
13:41You gave her one
13:42You know mum, you knew mum
13:45She'll be offended if she doesn't get what she wanted
13:48She'll rise up out of that coffin and tell me off
13:52I could give you a million dollars right now
13:54You could throw her the biggest wake you could
13:58Is that what Leanne wanted?
14:01Just be with your mum
14:04I feel like I'm letting her down
14:07You're not
14:09It's so simple, so easy
14:11That is what Leanne wanted
14:14Something real, from the heart
14:18That was Leanne's style
14:21Yeah, you're right
14:24Thank you
14:30Look, I've got something to tell you
14:32I'm listening
14:35I'm going to London
14:38What?
14:39I'm going to sort myself out
14:41Start over where no one knows me
14:43Hey, you don't have to hide your condition
14:47You're a great doctor and I'm sorry to see you go
14:50But if it's what you want, I'll write your reference, whatever you need
14:54Thanks
14:56Is there something else?
14:59No, I'm just...
15:01Life in... changes
15:06Let the farewell party begin
15:08And a memorial for Leanne
15:10Right, yes, sorry, I'll tone down the enthusiasm
15:13Management will shout the first round and we'll raise a glass to Leanne
15:17What's happening with Phil?
15:19They broke up, where have you been?
15:22Where is she?
15:23She'll be here
15:26Don't count on that, I've already said our goodbyes
15:37You're going out like that? No judgement, but it's...
15:40I'm not going
15:42Having a drink for Leanne
15:45Yeah, it's not what she wanted
15:47You know, she just wanted something small with family
15:51What's the real problem?
15:56I've missed a lot, haven't I?
15:58You sure have, so come and catch up with your friends
16:02They miss you
16:04The normal Chris
16:18Chris
16:20What can I say?
16:23You'll probably view this video for years to come
16:28And in your times of need, just watch it again
16:34And the answers that you seek will be there
16:38In my comforting voice
16:42Now, my deepest desire is that one day our two houses will be united
16:52Trinity's a lovely girl, I'm sure, and when she's all grown up
16:57I ask that you would consider Veli or Kiwa
17:02Both be fine young men, worthy of a Warner bride and marriage
17:11Now, business
17:15I'm not happy with you lounging around just waiting for death to come
17:20And you know exactly what I'm talking about
17:23I'm here in it
17:25And let me tell you what I wouldn't give to not be
17:31To see my grandchildren grow up
17:34To see the people they'll become
17:37To be with my friends, to laugh and love
17:41To be out in the world, experiencing things
17:46So for heaven's sake, stop killing yourself
17:50Get up off that couch and walk through the door, Chris
17:55And live
17:58Live
18:03Oh, if only we were ten years younger
18:16Sorry, he got yogurt all down his front eye, no other black tops
18:28It's okay, honey, Liam wouldn't mind
18:30Is mom okay?
18:32Um, today's gonna be really hard for her, buddy
18:37Okay, guys, let's do it
18:42We've all got you, Nick, right guys?
18:45Yeah
18:47Yeah
18:51All right, let's go
19:08To Liam
19:09Liam
19:12Oh, mom and dad are breaking up, I feel like an abandoned child
19:17You look after her?
19:19Of course
19:22I didn't think you'd make it
19:24Yeah, I didn't wanna leave it like that, sitting at home feeling sorry for myself
19:31You didn't tell him?
19:33I wanted to
19:36But I couldn't do that to him
19:38Not you
19:44You made it
19:45I thought I should make the effort
19:47Yeah, what's everyone drinking?
19:49Can you do something for me, us?
19:52Yeah, sure
19:54You just remember all the good bits, all that other stuff
19:58It's forgotten
20:00Be kind
20:03I love you too
20:08Hey
20:19Hey, we got you, mate
20:22It's good, I'm fine
20:24You sure?
20:25Yeah, it's the best thing for both of us
20:31Surprised to see you here
20:33I'm a bit surprised myself
20:35For my benefit, is it?
20:37No, I'm not trying to prove anything
20:40I need to do this, start living again
20:54Everyone went to Molly's
20:56A toast for Leanne
20:59You wanna go?
21:01No, we followed instructions
21:04Minimal and no fuss
21:07Come home
21:09Leanne would be really proud
21:11I hope so
21:12She would, honey
21:14She loved you so much
21:16You know, her video to me was all about you
21:19Was it?
21:21She wants me to love you
21:25And look after you
21:27And if I don't, she's gonna wait for me in the spirit realm
21:29And make my afterlife a misery, so
21:32Sounds like mum
21:35How do you feel?
21:38Good, yeah
21:40We gave her the goodbye that she wanted
21:43I think she'll be happy
21:46I'm glad
21:49To run your path
21:51Yes, please
21:53Okay
21:58Nicole
22:11Nicole
22:13Oh my darling, please don't frown
22:15That's better
22:17Premature aging is very real
22:19Now you're probably wondering what I could possibly
22:28Bar hop?
22:30Go shake it off?
22:31Nope
22:32You could go home?
22:33Nope
22:35Have you even had a cry yet?
22:37I don't need to
22:38I'm happy to be your emotional safety monitor
22:40But I just need to, like, wake myself up
22:42Go home, Sage
22:44I don't need a babysitter
22:45No, this is flatmate rule number one
22:47Look after the broken hearted
22:48I'm not, though
22:50You say that, but
22:51Please, go home
22:53Okay
22:55But I'm doing a welfare check in the morning
23:07Hi
23:17I told him about us
23:19Oh my god, what did you say?
23:21I told him I love you
23:23Phil!
23:26I want to pretend this whole thing never happened
23:28You can't just treat me like this and expect me not to react
23:30I need to tell you something
23:34You okay?
23:35A chest pain
23:37Oh my god
23:40What the hell were you thinking?
