00:00Previously on Shortland Street
00:02Tomorrow's Philly's birthday
00:03Drinks at the flat
00:04You're all invited
00:05So Chris will be there
00:06Chris is much better
00:07He straightened up
00:08That might have even been partly for you
00:10All of this
00:11I like it
00:12I would have
00:13What?
00:14Let's just try it
00:16It's more than just a meaningless fling
00:17You think that makes it any better?
00:19He needs to know
00:20And he deserves to hear it from you
00:22We'll destroy him
00:24You've already destroyed him
00:26Drew, there's something I need to tell you
00:28And you're not gonna like it
00:30What?
00:35Tell me
00:38Tell you what?
00:39About her
00:41Let me, Boyd
00:42Really?
00:43Really
00:44Okay
00:46I'll leave you guys to it
00:50What's going on?
00:53Mum called
00:55She wanted to see the kids
00:56But I backed her off
00:58Right
00:59I have to let you know
01:11There is a lot of arterial damage
01:14Suction?
01:20Just finding it difficult to visualise the source of infection
01:27How's he going?
01:29They're all tense, it's horrible
01:31Esther looks stressed
01:33I know she's done like 10 million surgeries
01:35But what if this is one too many?
01:37She'll be fine
01:38Well that's cool because I'm not
01:40Just take it easy, okay?
01:43Phil's assisting
01:44She knows what she's doing
01:48Phil?
01:49Stand by
01:51He's hypotensive
01:54He must be bleeding somewhere
01:56What are we missing?
01:57There
01:58He's got a new vein
01:59He's got a tear
02:00Can you get it?
02:01And can somebody please call Drew?
02:04What's going on?
02:06Vili, my horoscope said to expect an eventful day ahead
02:08But surely not this kind of eventful, right?
02:11Chip's too full of life to bleed out
02:15Hey
02:16Hi, you want one?
02:17Yeah, thanks
02:19So
02:21Stayed the night in your new digs and everything?
02:25Yeah
02:26You're feeling
02:28Happy?
02:29Yeah, I mean
02:31Seeking thoughts?
02:32No
02:34It's just
02:35Hey, what's the time?
02:38I've got to run
02:40So soon?
02:41Sorry
02:46It wasn't me
02:48Then who was this Danny person?
02:49I don't know
02:51What's this?
02:52An online complaint
02:54And I quote
02:55A staff member has worked at Shortland Street for nine years
02:57But that doesn't stop them losing her ashes
03:00It's still true though, isn't it?
03:01It's not Monique's fault though
03:02No, well my name's not mentioned
03:04That's something to be thankful for
03:05Look, Nate, I feel terrible about this, I really do
03:07But complaining about it on social's not going to help anyone
03:09I told you I don't know who it is
03:12Okay, well
03:13If you find this Danny person, send them my way
03:15You've got more important things to deal with
03:17Like what?
03:18Having Esther take the surgery for my ex-patient
03:20It should be me, I feel underwhelming
03:22She's the CEO
03:23I'm HOD
03:24I can't help you
03:25Have you seen Boyd?
03:26He's gone
03:27What?
03:28Esther wanted me to do something nice for him
03:30He didn't want to hang around
03:31Why?
03:33Don't know
03:34He's still a bit off
03:35I'll give him a call later on
03:37Ah, they need me in theatre for X-Men
03:40Funny that
03:44I know, my life is a mess at the moment
03:46But are you okay?
03:48Of course
03:49Why wouldn't I be?
03:54Does that make sense Lilia?
03:55Like fixing a blocked up pipe?
03:58Okay, well I will be back soon
03:59If you or your dad have any more questions
04:01In the meantime, Madonna here is going to take brilliant care of you, okay?
04:04Alright
04:06You'll be able to meet with the surgeon beforehand
04:08And they can go through everything again
04:10Is there anything in particular you're worried about?
04:12I just need some time to think
04:14About?
04:15We can't fix it with exercise or some other way?
04:18I'm afraid surgery is the only way to treat a strangulated hernia
04:22I understand but
04:23I have to take my daughter home now
04:25Thank you for your concern
04:36I used to have this daydream about a handsome woodcutter
04:40Lumberjack, whatever you want to call it
04:43Actually that's a lie
04:44Not used to it, I still kind of do
04:46So anyway, when this guy comes in with a literal axe in his chest
04:49And he looks to me to help save him
04:53I mean, if that's not a sign
04:57And the poor guy didn't even want me to call anyone
04:59He said, just do it after when I'm better
05:03But we completely missed that window and
05:05Anyway, I wonder if that was a front and he's actually got no one
05:10And I don't even want to think this at this point but
05:15I don't know what if he's the one
05:16I think they've controlled the bleeding, Sage
05:18Are you serious?
05:19Somebody rang?
05:20We've got it under control now
05:23Sure about that?
05:24Well that's the pulmonary vein done
05:26But please tell me there's nothing else
05:27Checking now
05:28BP's not looking too good, team
05:30Hang up two more units of blood please
05:33How's it going?
05:34It's a nightmare
05:36Bone fragments everywhere
05:38Have you finished the surgical washout?
05:40Almost there
05:42Will you focus on that?
05:43I can clear these fragments
05:44Good idea
05:45I can do the fragments
05:46Let me in
05:47Fresh eyes
05:48Littleman
05:53Bone curate, please
05:56You have a cup of tea and a lie down, Dr Phil
06:00Father was adamant that he didn't want his little girl having surgery
06:04But you explained the repercussions of not going through
06:07Yeah, he was still against it
06:08Took everything I had to try and stop him leaving
06:11Well
06:13I'd say you are the deserving recipient today
06:16What's this?
06:17The universe giving back
06:19Chocolate?
06:20Well, maybe not the universe
06:21But certainly the vending machine by radiology
06:24Keep it between us, but it's been doing this since April
06:27I'm sorry?
06:28I'm not
06:29It's broken, don't fix it, I say
06:32That's stealing
06:33No, it's
06:34It's more of a Robin Hood situation
06:36I always pay the free one forward
06:37And you are today's lucky beneficiary
06:40Out at work, I see
06:41Er, no
06:42Just trying to cheer Madonna up
06:45No takers
06:48Well
06:49It's time for self-extraction
06:54You scared him away
06:55Good, because we need to get back to work
06:57And I don't want to mess this up
06:59Overcompensating, are you?
07:00Excuse me?
07:01Maybe a little hungover
07:02You could have had daddy's stolen chocolate
07:04I am not hungover
07:06Someone on your mind, then
07:07Yeah, you, because you need it in room five
07:09You know I was talking about Chris
07:11Oh, congratulations
07:13I need more
07:14And you're not getting up
07:15You stay the night, though, right?
07:17How's it between the two of you?
07:19Was he really happy?
07:20Are you happy?
07:21Enough with the questions, Madonna
07:22I just need something
07:25Okay, fine
07:26I liked being with him
07:27Even though his room was giving flashbacks of Povo student days
07:31But
07:33But what?
07:35But nothing
07:37Oh
07:38Your break's over
07:39Well
07:45Tell me you're nearly done, Drew
07:48Counting down in five, four, three, two
07:54Last fragment out
07:56Want me to take over?
07:57No
07:59Let the lead surgeon lead, maybe
08:01Okay, I am closing up for now
08:05Thank you, Drew
08:06You're welcome
08:08What did Phil say?
08:09Looks like she was just throwing shade
08:11Doesn't matter
08:12Chopra's gonna be fine
08:18Thank you so much for waiting, Mr. Penny
08:20I'm sorry, but we've hit a bump
08:22Are you sure that NHI number is correct?
08:24Maybe I made a mistake
08:26That belongs to Talia Prasad
08:28I'll check it, we'll come back
08:29Thank you so much for your care
08:30You've been so kind, Lilia
08:31You can't leave
08:32Lilia's hernia needs to be seen to
08:34Any kind of delay could be dangerous, even life-threatening
08:37Just sit down, please
08:38There's no hurry
08:40We can talk
08:43Where are you from?
08:45I only ask because I know what it's like to deal with big things when family might be far away
08:51I'm sorry, I didn't mean to assume
08:53Now I've made you uncomfortable
08:54I'll get you a cup of tea and then you can have some space
08:57Most of our family's back home in Fiji
08:59It's hard, isn't it?
09:00I have my Ma and Manila, aunties, uncles, cousins
09:06My sister's here
09:09With her daughter, Talia
09:13That's why I...
09:16I came here on a work permit for six months
09:19And I didn't go back
09:21Lilia, she's been here too long, too
09:27I don't have a visa
09:29Felipe, I'm so sorry if you've overstayed
09:34We'd have to look at other options for you
09:36No, please
09:37You said it's dangerous if she doesn't get this operation
09:40There must be a way you can book her in, please
09:42I'm begging you
09:43I can't
09:44If I put her through with the wrong documentation, I could lose my job
09:49I'm so sorry, honestly
09:59It wasn't me
10:00So you're not Dani?
10:01No
10:02Okay
10:03Well, who wrote this comment in support?
10:04You've got my toe-tickle babe from here to eternity
10:07I don't know
10:08Well, it sounds like a wife
10:10Could be anyone
10:11Lots of nurses care about Nicole
10:12And my mother's ashes
10:14I care
10:15It's just, we've got a media storm brewing
10:17Really?
10:18Yes, and I'm being harassed by reporters every day
10:21And I'm being harassed by reporters every day
10:23And I'm being harassed by reporters every day
10:25And I'm being harassed by reporters every day
10:27And I'm being harassed by reporters every five minutes
10:29Well, I'm sure when you find her ashes, all the online stuff will stop
10:37It's not me
10:42Thank you for the backup there
10:44Anytime
10:46It's not often that a doctor sticks up for a nurse like that
10:49Maybe I should give you a medal
10:51Do you want a debrief now or later?
10:53Now
10:54Meeting room
10:55Here's good for me
10:57We should probably do this in private
10:59Later then
11:00Come on
11:04What was that?
11:06Nothing
11:07Well, it looked like you were scared of him
11:09Please
11:11Has he been bullying you or something?
11:13No
11:15Why did Esther bump him off the surgery then?
11:17She needed him in the end
11:19That's not what I'm asking
11:21What are you getting at?
11:22Well, it's like she doesn't trust him
11:23He's a fine surgeon
11:25Like she doesn't trust him around you?
11:27I'm not getting bullied
11:29Tell me what's going on
11:31What has he done?
11:32Just leave it
11:33I don't think I can
11:35Drew's a great surgeon, I have so much respect for him
11:38Phil
11:39It's just a work thing
11:40It's nothing
11:41It's nothing
11:53Hey
11:54It's you
11:58So I made it
11:59Yes, thank God
12:00Thank those amazing surgeons
12:02Were you in there?
12:04I was watching that
12:06Like some kind of angel?
12:08No, like some kind of freaking out bystander
12:10With my fingernails in Billy's arm
12:12So you were pretty invested, were you?
12:14Well
12:16Well, maybe just pretty
12:18Are you kidding? I'm ragged
12:20You put me through hell
12:21Poor you
12:22You have no idea what I went through
12:26Oh God, you're in pain
12:27No, no
12:28It's good
12:30As long as you stay
12:31I won't go anywhere
12:32As long as you sleep
12:33I think I could probably manage that
12:36It was great
12:38But I'm not looking for a relationship
12:40And we can't go back to the way we were
12:42Like nothing's happened
12:44Right
12:45You're not looking for a relationship?
12:49With you
12:51Just so we're clear
12:55Well, thanks for telling me
13:01Drew keeps pulling me aside for the meeting
13:03Drew keeps pulling me aside for little chats
13:05And I keep thinking, is this it?
13:07Does he know?
13:08Then he doesn't
13:09I'm sorry
13:10You're just going to wait for Boyd to tell him?
13:12Boyd's gone
13:13He can still phone in
13:14Is that what you want?
13:15I just need to get rid of the kids for a night
13:17So he can yell at you for hours on end
13:19Do you think I want that?
13:20You have questions
13:21You don't have to answer everything at once
13:22I need to have a plan at least
13:24Just be honest with him
13:26You think that's easy?
13:28Just tell him that you still love him
13:30And that you don't want to break up with him
13:32And that you couldn't leave those kids again
13:34Please don't try and think for me
13:36It's the truth, isn't it?
13:37So just tell him
13:39Just give me a time
13:41So I know when to duck for cover
13:43Great
13:45Today
13:46When?
13:48I'll take Drew for lunch to the park
13:50So he can go ballistic at you
13:52Who knows, he might cry
13:54Either way, it won't be pretty
13:56Delivery for Dr Phil?
13:58No way!
14:00I just wanted to say you did a great job this morning
14:02With what?
14:04Trip surgery
14:06Really?
14:07Yeah, he's a good dude
14:08I've worked with him before
14:12That's so not necessary
14:14But so sweet, thank you so much
14:17Anyway
14:18Have you got time for a coffee?
14:20I've got to finish my notes
14:22It could be ages
14:23Yeah, yeah, no worries
14:26I have to lunch then
14:32Well, what if I pay for it, would that help?
14:34Going private would still alert the authorities
14:36I'd look into compassionate grounds
14:38If there are any loopholes
14:39But there's nothing
14:41That's gutting
14:42I'll let them know there's nothing more we can do here
14:44But I'll give them a referral for when they get back to Fiji
14:46Let me tell them
14:48I kind of made a connection with Felipe
14:50Yeah, of course
14:51I'll follow up, but you talk to them
14:53Was that your patient?
14:54The little girl?
14:55Her and her dad
14:56They overstayed their visas
14:58So that's why he didn't want the surgery for his daughter
15:01And you're off to break the bad news?
15:03Yeah
15:04Well, I still have the chocolate bar
15:08You want it?
15:10Yes
15:11You broke the rules
15:13Honestly, Madonna, it's not a big deal
15:15I'm not hurting anyone
15:16Exactly
15:17What?
15:18I'm not hurting anyone
15:19I'm not hurting anyone
15:21I'm not hurting anyone
15:22Exactly
15:23What?
15:24So I just told him
15:26Chris, that nothing's going to happen
15:29Nothing more, you mean?
15:31You can lose the tone
15:32That last night was a mistake
15:34So you keep saying
15:35Every single time you jump back into his bed
15:38I think someone's calling me
15:40No, they're not
15:42Would it kill you to have a little sympathy?
15:44Hey, I do have sympathy
15:46For Chris
15:47Traitor
15:48He likes you
15:49And what does he get in return?
15:50Misery
15:51Excuse me?
15:52I'm the one that told him to buck up his ideas
15:53And to get off the booze
15:54Yes, because you like him too
15:56I don't need to go out with him if I don't want to
15:58Of course
15:59But the thing is, you do want to
16:01I know my own mind
16:03Look, you were right to step away when you did
16:05But now he's doing better
16:07He's cleaned up a bit
16:08I mean, you saw that last night at the party
16:11Just being there was a big improvement for him
16:14So this rejection now, I don't know where it's coming from
16:17Do you?
16:21Yeah
16:29Grayson
16:31Shouldn't you be having lunch with Melba?
16:33She bailed on me
16:34Hey, check these for me
16:36You did some very competent notes on chip surgery
16:38Thank you very much
16:39It's my job
16:40However, there were a few important details missing
16:42I have patched those over, as you can see
16:44Because I'm HOD, and that's my job, I oversee
16:48Did Melba say why she bailed?
16:50Call a VD
16:52Rude
16:53Well, you don't know her very well
16:55The cardiac arrest beats a panini in the park
16:58Surely there are other doctors available
17:00Mesh will make it up to me
17:02I've offended you
17:04What?
17:05Giving feedback on your notes
17:07Why would I be offended by that?
17:09I thought we were okay now
17:11We are
17:13Kind of feels like you're icing me out
17:15I've just got a lot going on
17:17Let's get a drink
17:18Molly's, just you and me
17:20I can't
17:21We need to sort this, okay?
17:22We're not at work
17:23True
17:24Tonight
17:25Make time for me
17:34And he looks cute out of uniform too
17:36Oh please, you're the one who looks great
17:38Even better without a chest full of pus
17:40Yes, much better
17:42How are you feeling?
17:43Not bad
17:44But I am going to skip chest day this week
17:48But, hey
17:50I'm alive and so grateful
17:52So lucky, so happy
17:54God, you've got such an amazing attitude
17:56I do?
17:57Yeah, you're always cracking jokes
17:59Making everyone feel good
18:00Even when you're literally facing death
18:02Are you impressed?
18:03Very
18:04Well, I was thinking
18:05Maybe after I'm out of here
18:07You and I could
18:08Chip
18:09Grab it
18:10Babe
18:11Oh my God
18:12I've been so worried
18:13When you weren't answering your phone
18:15Sorry, I'm Liam
18:16I'm Sage, I'm the nurse
18:18Flowers aren't allowed in the HTU I'm afraid
18:20Oh, sorry
18:24Put them somewhere safe
18:26Excuse me
18:31This is out of line
18:32And whoever is doing it needs to stop
18:34What have we done now?
18:35The complaints about Leanne's ashes
18:37Not me
18:38Hmm, okay
18:39Right, here's the latest one
18:41Nurse steals the tong
18:42No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
18:44Not that one
18:45Here it is
18:46Danny says Leanne wanted an assisted death
18:48But the hospital wouldn't let her!
18:50Well, how many times do I have to say it?
18:52It wasn't me
18:53Who else would know except close family?
18:55A lot of staff
18:56Okay then
18:57Hayley
18:58Who?
18:59Hayley
19:00Hayley says that's against the law
19:02Take them to court, babe
19:05Well, I don't know anyone called Hayley
19:07And on behalf of everyone here
19:09Can you please stop hassling us?
19:11Look, there is a big write-up in the Northerner
19:13Next stop, Ministry of Health
19:14No one reads the newspaper
19:15Not even online
19:17Okay
19:18I'm not going to stop hassling each and every one of you
19:20Until I find out who the culprit is
19:22And then you will be fired
19:25Go ahead
19:27What?
19:28No, it's me, I'm Danny
19:29And everything I wrote was the truth
19:31So, so, fire me
19:35Okay
19:36Thank you everyone
19:37The meeting is over
19:42Nick?
19:43I get that you are upset, okay?
19:46But what you've done is a direct violation with the Code of Conduct
19:49You literally lost my mother's ashes
19:52I know
19:53And I am so sorry
19:55But what you are doing is a sackable offence
19:58Delete the post, immediately
20:02You can't go
20:03We can't stay
20:07Okay, come with me
20:12Okay
20:24What are you doing?
20:25Are you going to report us?
20:26No
20:27I'm going to book Thale in
20:29Sorry?
20:30For Thale's surgery tomorrow
20:33You'll let us use her name?
20:34I don't know what you're talking about, Mr. Prasad
20:36But everything is good to go
20:38So please can you give me her NHI number again?
20:42Thank you
20:45Let's get you booked in, shall we?
20:48Hi, Philippe
20:49Madonna told you about our unfortunate situation
20:52I really am sorry
20:53Yeah, I'm just printing off some information for them to take home
20:56And I actually remembered I have a colleague who's now in Suva
20:59And they might be able to help you out
21:03What are you doing?
21:04I, uh, this is just for another patient
21:08I'm just
21:09Madonna, you can't do that
21:14Hi
21:15Philly's not in, sorry
21:17I know, I came to see you
21:20So
21:22Of course
21:27I see you've cleaned up all the balloons and streamers
21:31It was still a good party
21:32Yeah
21:34Sorry, after what you said today
21:37Yeah, today
21:39This morning when I woke up
21:41Yeah
21:42It was awkward, I know
21:44Yeah, I don't care about that
21:46I just, I kind of freaked
21:50To be back with you
21:52Felt nice, you know
21:55It did?
21:56But that's scary to me
21:58Because you hurt me
22:00And I feel like I can't trust you not to do that again
22:05That's fair
22:07So
22:09I hate that I hurt you
22:10You don't have to keep saying that
22:12I'm just, I'm scared
22:16Love is scary
22:19You love me?
22:22Of course I do
22:30You're still wound up
22:32Oh, just overworked but I'm soon
22:36You stressed out, more than me and that's saying something
22:40I just need to talk to Drew and I don't want to
22:42Talk about what?
22:44Things
22:45What things?
22:47I can help
22:48Not this time
22:49I know what's going on
22:51Okay, and you're not crazy
22:53Your instincts are right
22:56You don't have to pretend around me
22:58Something is wrong in your marriage
23:00Okay, sorry
23:01Please forget I said anything
23:02You don't, no
23:03Now we need to talk about it
23:05What?
23:08Phil
23:12You're having an affair
23:28You're having an affair
