00:01You're a liability, Nick
00:02Oh God, um, guys, sorry
00:04What's going on?
00:04She's lost over a litre of blood
00:06I think it's best if you step down the stairway
00:07just until you get back on your feet
00:08Lena, after everything
00:10You steal my job
00:11Esther thinks you're unstable and irrational
00:13and from where I'm standing
00:15She ain't wrong
00:16Unbelievable
00:16You know you're cute when you're flirting with me
00:18You're cute doing anything with me
00:20Keep that romance alive, kids
00:21Yeah, honestly, you guys are great together
00:23You didn't even seem bothered
00:24Of course I was bothered
00:25I know how I feel about you, don't you?
00:30Previously on Shortland Street
00:36Oh my God
00:37Boyd
00:38I have a note, don't
00:39Boyd, wait!
00:42What the hell are you doing?
00:44It's, um
00:45Not what it looks like?
00:46Seriously?
00:47I don't know
00:50How long has this been going on?
00:51I don't know
00:52Andrew doesn't know?
00:53You're not going to tell him, are you?
00:54Please, I'm begging you
00:56No, I'm not going to say anything
00:58Oh, thank God
00:59But you are
01:01What?
01:02No, no
01:03You've been here, you get this
01:04You know a thing like this doesn't just spring out of nothing
01:07Things weren't good with us for a long time
01:10You know what it's like?
01:11Yeah, I do
01:13And you have no idea how much I wish I'd done things differently
01:18Because if I'd been honest
01:21You would destroy him
01:23You've already destroyed him
01:26Now own up to it
01:29It's the only thing you can do
01:40Madonna, Madonna
01:41Did you hear about the guy with the axe in his chest?
01:43Is this a joke?
01:44I'm not going to know who he's like
01:45The sweetest, but it's just like
01:46It's like thunk
01:48That's awful
01:48Hey, can everyone pipe down, please?
01:50He's in surgery right now
01:51And these big guns came to assist Drew
01:53Sage when you're done
01:55But Drew took it
01:56Where's Nicole?
01:57Oh, who knows?
01:58Anyway, can I please have all of your attention?
02:01What are you doing here?
02:03I don't know, I saw a crowd so I joined in
02:05Oh, God help me
02:08Is Nicole coming later?
02:09Okay, so if you're quiet then I can explain
02:12Thank you
02:14I'm taking over as DLN
02:16Not permanent
02:17Just until Nick's back on her feet
02:19Good call
02:20Well, she's going through some stuff
02:21So let's just do our best to support her by supporting me
02:25Sorry to jump in
02:26I just had a thought
02:26Tomorrow's Vili's birthday
02:28So?
02:29So are you doing anything for him?
02:31That he is
02:31This is a work meeting
02:33And who says I don't already have plans?
02:36Private plans with Dr Phil
02:38Now's not the time or place, Sage
02:40Oh, you guys broke up like ages ago
02:43Not with Phil
02:44But I do have plans
02:45With?
02:46Chris
02:47He's organised drinks at the flat
02:49Tomorrow night, you're all invited
02:51At your house?
02:53That's what I said
02:55So Chris will be there?
02:56I don't know
02:57I mean, he's organising it
02:58And it's at his house
02:59Well, you can count me out
03:00Selina, don't pike on us
03:03Chris is much better
03:04Alright, I keep telling you
03:06Sorry bro
03:06But if he's there then it's a hard no from me
03:08Anyway, let's get back to it
03:10Who wants appendicitis in ward three?
03:13It's like you don't know me at all
03:15What?
03:16I'm never ever going to counselling again
03:18I'm not asking you to
03:20What's all this in?
03:20Free websites
03:22Chat groups
03:24They're all anonymous
03:25That makes it worse
03:27Nick, just pick one
03:29No
03:30Honey, these people are all grieving
03:31Yeah, like you
03:32And they talk and they talk
03:33And they get everything out
03:35I was fired from my job
03:38Yeah, an unjustified dismissal
03:40So I need a law chat group
03:44Not this bunch of sados
03:46Okay, you want to talk about your job?
03:49No
03:50Tell me what you said to Selina
03:52Who's gossiping now?
03:53Honey, she's just helping out
03:55She's a traitor
03:57She acts all sweet and huggy
03:59And then she stole my job
04:03Go ahead, I'm listening
04:08Nick, if you won't talk to me
04:09Then you need to find someone
04:11I've got nothing else to say
04:14I love you
04:17Okay, everyone at work loves you
04:18Our neighbours love you
04:20Madonna just sopped up the fridge
04:22So I am going to rustle up something for dinner
04:25Okay?
04:26And you
04:28You are going to choose a grief support service tonight
04:31If you don't, Nick
04:34I will bring in a counsellor
04:36You won't even have to go anywhere
04:38They can sit right here
04:41On our couch
04:48Okay
04:49Okay
04:51Dinner won't be long
05:19So
05:40I just come, man. It's my birthday
05:42Hey, come here
05:46Did you find Ruud?
05:47Convinced him that he was seeing things?
05:49He knows
05:50God damn it
05:52Will he keep his mouth shut?
05:53He will, if I tell Drew myself
05:56And if you don't?
05:57He'll do it for me
05:59Shit
06:00What are you going to do?
06:01I don't really have a choice
06:03What does that mean for us?
06:04I mean, I don't want to stop seeing you
06:05I know I shouldn't be thinking about myself right now
06:07Drew is my husband
06:08We made vows
06:09And we have kids
06:10I mean, how could I even think about leaving them?
06:12But you might
06:13And you have been thinking about leaving them
06:15Don't ask me, okay?
06:17It's too much
06:18I have no idea what I'm going to do right now
06:29I'll see you both tonight
06:31Not me
06:32Because of Vili
06:33And Phil
06:34Turns out I'm not that much of a saint
06:36Count me out too
06:37Really?
06:38Yeah, I wouldn't be caught dead
06:39That's your brother's birthday drink?
06:41Yeah, that you're hosting
06:43So it's me
06:44Oh, don't flatter yourself
06:45It is you
06:46Oh no, I've just had better invitations
06:49Several actually
06:51So you're going to have to just try to enjoy yourselves without me
06:54So good luck with that
06:56I'm sure people will come
07:09Hey, how are you doing?
07:10Pretty sweet
07:12Pretty sleepy
07:13Pretty
07:14Eh?
07:15Um, I've been worried about you
07:18You're sweet
07:19So did you get to keep it?
07:21Axel Rose
07:22Oh, you named it
07:23Gotta make friends, eh?
07:24There's no point in having an axe to groan
07:26You're sharp, I like it
07:28Do you, um, think I'll make the poster?
07:30What poster?
07:31Better Work Stories
07:33Oh yeah, 100%
07:36Do you know when I'll be up and running again?
07:40Ah, Chip, you're awake
07:43Uh, joke and answer your question
07:44Uh, Chip's just wondering about recovery time
07:46Right, well, we don't want to get ahead of ourselves here
07:49What do you mean?
07:50That doesn't seem like a crazy question
07:52The operation went well, Chip
07:54As well as it could
07:55But there's a real risk of pleural sepsis post-traumatic trauma
07:58So we'll be needing to monitor you closely
08:00Well, you're in the right place, Chip
08:02Also, the placement of the penetration means we're cutting it fine
08:05In terms of respiratory failure
08:07And the good news?
08:08Well, like you said, you're in the right place
08:43We're leaving in five, mate
09:01Nicole, thank God it's you and not some media vulture
09:03How are you?
09:04I'm calling about Mum
09:05Apparently she's at reception
09:08At reception?
09:09Your mother?
09:11Her ashes
09:12Are you even listening?
09:14They were sent to work instead of home
09:17Right, I see
09:17Sorry, I've been a bit all over the place this morning
09:20And sorry about the mix-up
09:21I don't know how that happened
09:22I need you to keep her safe, okay?
09:24Till I get there
09:24Do you reckon you can manage that?
09:26Of course
09:27I'll see to it myself
09:29And how are you, Nick?
09:31We're all so worried about you
09:39Hey, I've dealt with Mrs Reeves
09:41You're seriously asking again, aren't you?
09:45You know Lucy had to retake cubicle 3's bloods
09:47What?
09:48Yeah, you labelled it wrong
09:49Get your head in the game, Clover
09:51I'm sorry, I'm just worried about Chip
09:53If I get five minutes to go see if he's all right
09:55Oh, so stuff the patient's in here, then?
09:57It's not that, it's just he's just been through surgery
09:59He had some really scary news
10:00And I don't think he's had any visitors
10:02Why didn't you go visit him at lunch, then?
10:03I worked through, you know that
10:06Unidentified male in his 20s
10:08Unrestrained driver of a car-versed truck
10:09Travelling at an unknown speed
10:11ETOH on board by the smell of him
10:12And there's two passengers are en route
10:15Well, look alive, mate
10:19And as a...
10:21Come through
10:23Come on in, team
10:24Now remember what I said inside, boys
10:26There's no jumping on the bed
10:28We got lonely snakes
10:29Yes, to be given to Boyd
10:31He can decide if you're allowed any
10:32Oh, yeah, no, help yourselves
10:35And Rommie?
10:35Yeah, definitely Rommie
10:37Okay, guys, come over here
10:38And we'll get one inch
10:41Heart rate's good, blood's all clear
10:43Looks like he's making an excellent recovery
10:46Probably best you got Naz
10:48He's a great surgeon
10:52Um, actually, I was thinking about that
10:59Uh...
11:01You would have done a great job, too
11:05And...
11:07The way everything went down
11:10I'm sorry
11:21Hi, um, I'm here for Mum's ashes
11:23Right, yes, of course, Sage
11:26Oh, right
11:28Um...
11:29I asked you to have them ready, Pinnacle
11:31So you did
11:31I've just been brushed off my feet
11:32We've got this guy in ED with an axe in his chest
11:35We're trying to help him out a little bit
11:37Sage, ashes
11:38God, I might have given them to Madonna
11:41Unless she put them, um, somewhere else
11:45Could you just hold on a tick?
11:47You've lost my Mum
11:48No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
11:50Not lost, just mislaid
11:52Leave it to me
11:56I specifically asked you to take care of Mum
12:00I am so sorry, Nick
12:01Do you want to come to my office?
12:02I can get you a chamomile
12:03I don't need a tea
12:04I want my Mother
12:06Hey, what's going on?
12:08Leanne's ashes have gone walkabouts
12:10But Sage is tracking them down
12:12What?
12:12Nick, I am so sorry
12:14Why don't you just call me when you find her
12:15If you find her
12:16Honey, she will be here somewhere
12:18Where?
12:19Where?
12:20Lost property?
12:21Or have you chucked her in the bin?
12:25This really shows me how much you care
12:34As far as I know, Chris hasn't moved on to anyone else
12:37So it doesn't mean I want to see him
12:39It's very obvious you still care
12:41Um, I couldn't care less, okay, Madonna?
12:45That's not what it looks like
12:46Excuse me?
12:47You being all, I wouldn't be caught dead at this party
12:50Well, you can talk
12:51Well, at least I'm owning it
12:54Okay, well, that's it, we're going
12:56Sorry?
12:56Yeah, I'm going to the stupid party
12:58But I need a wingman
12:59Well, that's not me
13:00Well, I'm not thrilled about it either
13:02But you're better than nothing
13:16How do I look?
13:18Like you tried on a million dresses
13:20And spent all night on your makeup
13:22Yeah, okay
13:23Well, let's go
13:25Hey, go in, egg
13:28I'm nervous
13:29Oh, don't be
13:30Because everyone's going to be drinking and raging
13:32Underneath the twinkling lights
13:33And they won't even notice us
13:35Me, maybe
13:46Condolences, my bro
13:48Eh?
13:48Yeah, for your funeral
13:49And the piss-poor turnout for it
13:51Shush, man, it's all good
13:53You made it
13:54What's going on?
13:55This place is dead
13:56We had more fun at handover this morning
13:58People seem to be enjoying themselves
14:01You really are out of touch, aren't you?
14:03It's fine, let's just go get a drink
14:05No, what?
14:05In certain silence?
14:06Hell no
14:07Hey, put something decent on, will you?
14:09Crank it up
14:10Um, I don't think that speaker goes any louder
14:12Oh my god, are you for real?
14:15And this party?
14:18It's an insult to my brother
14:19And to me
14:20And to anyone that's had a birthday
14:22And you're going to pay for it
14:26Hey, uh, gather round, everyone
14:29Great news
14:30Just when you thought things couldn't get even more exciting
14:34Chris here has offered to play the guitar for us
14:37Selina, no
14:37Yeah, and I say yes
14:38Chris!
14:39Chris!
14:39Chris!
14:40Chris!
14:41Chris!
14:41Chris!
14:42Chris!
14:42Chris!
14:43I said no!
14:50Could you put the music back on, please?
14:53Yeah, crank that shitty speaker
14:59Hey, are you really sure that I need to go through with this?
15:07Once upon a time, I would have been happy to stick the knife into Drew, but now...
15:12Could you give me a break?
15:14You know, a chance to explain that something ever meant to happen
15:18You know, Bill and I are just colleagues, but we care about each other
15:22And it's more than just a meaningless thing
15:25You think that makes it any better?
15:27Jesus, Harper
15:29You're going behind his back and betraying him
15:30And what do you care?
15:31After cutting him off for all these months
15:36Sorry, that wasn't fair
15:38No, I get it
15:40I was angry and hurting
15:42And Drew did take the brunt of that
15:44But I'd just lost my son
15:47What's your excuse for treating him so badly?
15:49I don't have one
15:51I've just met someone and suddenly...
15:54It's creeped up on us, on both of us
15:57And it wouldn't have gone this far if it wasn't important
16:02So I'm asking you please to take a little bit more time
16:04Just so I can figure out how I feel before I blow everything with Drew and my kids
16:09You know, and if you don't force my hand, then who knows?
16:13Maybe things will work out the next day
16:15So you'd never know?
16:18It is not fair that you are involving yourself in this decision
16:22When it has nothing to do with you
16:24Stop kidding yourself
16:26He needs to know
16:27And he deserves to hear it from you
16:30Which is why I'm giving you this chance
16:32But if you don't take it and tell him everything
16:35I will
16:53Thank you
16:57Chris is okay, he just needs a minute
16:59But you're glad you came?
17:02No filth
17:03No, she had to work
17:04She's prepping some stuff for tomorrow
17:06She's all go
17:07I'm just glad everyone's recovered from Chris's major bummer
17:10You shouldn't have pushed him
17:11Yeah, well he's a grown-up
17:13And he could say no
17:14Well, he said no
17:17Maybe you should check on him
17:18Maybe you should butt out
17:20Selena, he straightened up
17:21That might have even been partly for you
17:24As if
17:25I just think you should talk to him
17:31Hey, sorry I didn't get you sooner
17:32That's okay, I've been keeping busy
17:35Flat out
17:36Oh yeah
17:38Have you had any visitors?
17:39Yeah, let them see me like this
17:42You look nice, just fragile
17:44But you should get them in
17:45I can call people for you if you want
17:46No, I'm fine
17:47I've got you here
17:50Okay, well do you need anything?
17:51A blanket?
17:52I'm a bit hot, actually
17:59How come I've never met you before?
18:01I came up from Invercargill
18:04Southern man
18:05Absolutely
18:06When was the nurse last time to see you?
18:08Right now
18:09My favourite one too
18:13Thought I'd find you in here
18:14Yeah, my shift is over
18:15But could you...
18:16You were supposed to restock the crash car before you left
18:19I don't...
18:19Sorry, look at this
18:2079.8
18:21What's hap...
18:22What's the problem?
18:23He's septic, could be hemp IMO
18:24Draw cultures, contact Esther
18:25He's going to need to go back in theatre
18:28What's happening?
18:29It's okay
18:30It's all going to be okay
19:51Hey
20:02You can't do that
20:03Come in
20:05Push me into singing
20:06I didn't want to sing
20:08I'm sorry
20:09I mean, you don't have to go
20:13Okay
20:18Probably cranking out a song when you're sober
20:21Bit of a hard ask
20:27But all of this
20:29I like it
20:32And I wonder...
20:35What?
20:40Would it?
20:41What?
20:45Let's just try it
20:51If you could just grab a wheelchair, I'll be able to pick him up
20:54Thank you
20:55Oh hey
20:56Drift
20:58Yeah, you okay?
21:00Yeah, couldn't be better
21:02After what you said earlier
21:04Hey, it's really taken the weight off
21:06I'm just sorry you can't stick around
21:09Yeah, yeah no I'm sorry too
21:11Just, um, I think the vineyard's the best place for Rommie
21:15He's fresh mainland-ish
21:17He's got a good sense of humour
21:18He's got a good sense of humour
21:19Fresh mainland air
21:21Maybe a good place for a visit sometime too
21:24If Harper and I could get a few days leave
21:27Yeah, um, but I don't know
21:29Why not?
21:30Just say the word
21:33Well, it's not up to me alone
21:35You know, there's other people involved
21:38Other people meaning Remus
21:41What? No, no, no, no
21:42It's fine, I get it
21:43Just because you're sorry I didn't do Rommie's operation
21:45Doesn't mean I'm forgiven for the other thing
21:49You still blame me for Remus's death?
21:52No, I wasn't thinking about my son
21:55Then why don't you want us to visit?
22:00I, I did blame you
22:03But
22:06Are you saying what I think you're saying?
22:10Remus's death was an accident
22:13Listen mate, you know I would have done anything
22:16I know you know
22:17I know, I know
