00:00Previously on Shortland Street
00:02Thanks for giving us an experienced doctor
00:04I wasn't sure you'd want to come back
00:06This country has turned into a dumpster fire
00:08I came back to Aotearoa because my people need me
00:10Papa, my mere existence seems to irritate her
00:14It must be awful for you having to be his counsellor with all the crap we're going through
00:18My feelings for you were real
00:20Ending whatever this is or was is really hard
00:22No, you can't do this
00:24If you don't stop, I will report you to Esther
00:26I'll have you up for harassment
00:31Any risk of post-op infection, just let me know and I'll come straight back down
00:36Chris, how's it going in ED?
00:38Good
00:40Any issues with Gia?
00:42What do you mean?
00:44We're professionals
00:46We don't need to bring our personal lives into work
00:48He's got nothing to worry about then
00:50Nothing at all
00:52It's great to have her experience in ED
00:54It is
00:56Hey, all good?
00:58Seems to be
01:00I thought Gia coming back might have sent Chris into a spiral
01:02So far, so good
01:04I meant you, in this post-Monique world
01:06I'm not completely incapable of doing you
01:08I know that, I'm just making sure you're not overworking yourself
01:12Yeah, well not every big change is a bad one
01:16You've got to be kidding me
01:18What's up?
01:20Effective immediately, funding's been cut for Shortland Street's Maori and Pacifica Clinic
01:28Morning all
01:34Wow, really putting the flat in flatties this morning
01:36I guess it's easy to be perky when you've got a job and don't have blood on your hands
01:40Monique, that crash was not your fault
01:42Why don't you just follow your pride and ask Esther for your job back?
01:44No
01:46Okay then, well you'll find another job
01:48Oh, you reckon just like that
01:50Yeah, you're the hustle queen, you'll be snapped up
01:52Right?
01:54Right, Phil?
01:56Yeah, for sure
01:58Geez, you didn't quit your job too, did you?
02:00No
02:02Then what are you being a sad sack for?
02:04I don't know what you mean
02:08That was convincing
02:10So, what's the plan?
02:12Well, you're gainfully employed
02:14I'm going to be trawling the internet
02:16Looking for someone who wants to hire an ex-model slash murderer slash murderer
02:18And then I'm going to get a job
02:20I'm going to be trawling the internet
02:22Looking for someone who wants to hire an ex-model slash murderer
02:24Slash failed operations manager
02:26Wow, when you put it like that
02:32What?
02:34Nothing
02:38Probably need this
02:40Hardly slept last night
02:42How would you know? You were snoring
02:44I know, you and your grumpy warning face
02:46Did I keep you out too late?
02:48No
02:50Good, keen to do it again?
02:52Tonight?
02:54No, but sometime
02:56We had fun
02:58Yeah, sure
03:00No?
03:02Just talk to me again when I've caught up in my sleep
03:04Phil and Villy are hilarious
03:06You know what?
03:08I'm actually going to need you to pick up Marley this afternoon after all
03:10Okay
03:12I forgot I had a meeting, sorry
03:14No worries, sleepyhead
03:16Hey kids
03:18Let's go, I'm going to make you breakfast
03:24Regular orbs and tour wards free please
03:26This might be one for you, Dr Warner
03:30Hi, I'm Angie
03:32Hi, I'm Chris
03:34You two going to play nice?
03:36Right, let's take a look
03:38It's burned
03:40It's okay, we need to see it
03:42That is
03:44quite the laceration
03:46He needs to get to theatre
03:48I can repair it here
03:50It's a full thickness laceration, he needs surgical intervention
03:52No he doesn't
03:54You've nicked the tendon, we need the wound edges
03:56tidied up, cleaned out
03:58and a few stitches and you're good to go
04:00The surgical option involves
04:02several hours of wait
04:04general anaesthetic and probably an overnight stay
04:06I can do it under local anaesthetic
04:08right now in less than an hour
04:10Your option seems good
04:12Let's do that then, transfer to bed before please
04:20What you're suggesting has more risks
04:22for the patient, my way is accepted practice
04:24So you're making this
04:26all about yourself as well
04:28I'm listening to what the patient wants
04:30and I'm going to do that
04:32Fine
04:34Where are you going?
04:48What's the gang got to say today?
04:50What?
04:52You're lost mates
04:54I'm texting Bailey
04:56Is he settling in okay?
04:58Yep, he's loving being with Zynga and Sam Wong
05:00Well can you give him my love and tell him I miss him heaps
05:02Hey
05:04It was never a good time
05:06but we need to talk money
05:08Now?
05:10I know it's not your favourite but
05:12But we're in massive debt and it's an issue
05:14Well I think that the best way out of it
05:16is to talk things through together
05:18Or we could win the lotto
05:20Where's mum's lucky touch when we need it
05:22Okay well maybe we don't have to do it now
05:24Maybe we go out
05:26talk over a wine
05:28Ruin a date night talking about budgets
05:30Do you want to go on a date night?
05:32We could do that
05:34I'd love to do that
05:36We could leave the budgets at home
05:38Look if it's important just talk to me now
05:40You sure?
05:42Absolutely, go for it, I'm all ears
05:44Yeah but I don't know
05:46I'm not sure about it
05:48Well you don't have to be because you're not the one dating her
05:50Yeah but are you sure you're the only one she's dating?
05:52What?
05:54Phil and Iha had that whole open relationship thing
05:56Are you sure she's being open with you about how many people she's dating?
05:58What do you think about this?
06:00Oh I don't know I just get a vibe of her
06:02That kind of feels pot-cuddly coming from you
06:04I'm just saying
06:06Just watch yourself
06:08Man I'm not marrying her
06:10We're just hanging out to chill
06:12Hey
06:14Up for another night out soon?
06:16Hell yeah
06:18Catch you later
06:20See ya
06:22Why did you say yes?
06:24It won't be tonight
06:26You and Billy are a good idea
06:28So you've said, what's it got to do with you anyway?
06:30I don't know Selina's right Phil's just
06:32Whatever she has Billy can handle himself
06:34I know but
06:36But what?
06:38We still haven't had our night out just us two you know
06:40Aww
06:42Can we help it that we're so popular?
06:48So he just walked out, what?
06:50Left him discussing a patient with Gia
06:52Next minute
06:54Ok I will talk to him
06:56Hey Gia
06:58Good to be here
07:00How are you?
07:02Are you and Chris ok?
07:04Because I'd understand if something came up
07:06No I mean
07:08He doesn't love the way that I don't roll over
07:10And agree with everything he says
07:12But it's good to show the old dog some new tricks
07:14Good
07:16Because I've got a bigger fish to fry
07:18Than Chris Warner's ego
07:20That big?
07:22Oh
07:24Some of the shareholders
07:26Want to shut down the MPC
07:28What?
07:30They can't do that
07:32They already have
07:34Well we'll fight for it
07:36Honestly there's not much I can do
07:38Of course there is
07:40Well it is a financial issue
07:42It's Dad's legacy what is he going to say?
07:44I will talk to him
07:46Good he'll fight for it too
07:48No I mean I'll explain that they're cutting budgets everywhere
07:50The MPC is way too important
07:52Yeah well we know that but
07:54But what?
07:56We don't roll over for the old dogs remember?
07:58Whoever they are
08:00No we don't

11:18As if I'm some kind of traitor
11:20To the whole of Māori
11:22I have to make tough calls
11:24It's part of my job
11:26It is
11:28And letting go of the NPC

11:50There's never a right way to take it

11:54What do you mean?
11:56To accept a decision like this
11:58About something so important to you
12:00And going down without a fight
12:02I thought you'd be on my side
12:04I am because you're a fighter
12:06And you do the right thing
12:08It's one of the things I love most about you
12:10Okay

16:56Fine dining salon restaurant

17:06Here's to making a bright shiny new future
17:08Don't have to say that every time
17:10I just love it for you
17:12But do not talk to me about money
17:14Rough times
17:16Just all this new tech stuff
17:18It's so scary and boring with the higher ACC levies
17:20The cost of living
17:22And do not get me started on this new government
17:24Stop okay
17:26I am going to give us another round
17:28You played right into my hands
17:30Monique
17:32Hello can I please get another one of those
17:34I'm sorry
17:36What for
17:38For listening to Marty
17:40I should never have done that
17:42Stop kicking myself
17:44You can be pretty persuasive
17:46You don't reply to my texts
17:48Well I've been busy
17:50Celebrating
17:52Fresh starts
17:54Come on
17:56Chris
17:58You told me you were fine talking to Gina
18:00I am
18:02Then why did you walk out
18:04Just needed a breather
18:06Look if you're struggling to keep on top of things
18:08I'm not
18:10I'm fine I promise
18:12Well then you need to up your game
18:14You can't just walk off the job whenever you feel like it
18:16Understood
18:22Hey where are you going
18:24Home
18:26For a drink
18:28You said everything was fine in ED
18:30What's this about you walking off
18:32It's nothing
18:34No you're not fobbing me off again
18:36Okay I love you so talk to me
18:38I told you I'd figure it out
18:40Did my homework
18:42It's tricky
18:44Right
18:46I think she thinks I'm making it all about me
18:48Well I don't know maybe I am
18:50Do you think I am
18:52I don't think you should even go down that road
18:54You just got back to yourself
18:56And I'm not going to lose you again
18:58It's not going to be easy having her around
19:00But you are strong
19:02And you won't be doing it alone
19:08Next stop torturing yourself
19:10Six
19:12There are six in the world but five
19:16Oh my god
19:18Look at this one
19:20Yep and there's the house
19:22That they bought with the money
19:24Surely not
19:26Look at the pattern on the pool tiles
19:30That's the same as the bars
19:32In honour of the bars
19:34So
19:36How long
19:38I'm super sure until
19:40And this mullet
19:42Is it going to be making a comeback anytime soon
19:44Well depends on the price
19:46No no that's a promise
19:50Hey are you leaving
19:52Slinking off home but you guys stay
19:54No I will come
19:56Absolutely not
19:58You heard the man bye guys
20:00So you want me to stay
20:02Most definitely
20:04Hmm coming from the guy who said we're just friends
20:06I told you that was a mistake
20:08And what made you realise this
20:10Did Marty have a word or was it someone else
20:12Because if they can talk you into this
20:14They can talk you out of
20:16I know what I want
20:18So can we do this
20:20Properly this time
20:22Yes
20:32And then
20:34It exploded
20:36How
20:38I don't actually know
20:40But he added something on top
20:42And then lit it and then it erupted
20:44Wow

20:48The best

21:20Your usual argument is that
21:22These things are too expensive why now
21:24Why not now I just wanted to do something nice for you

21:58Hey we do have an idiot
22:04Who's thinking of scrapping funding for the EPC
22:06So I'm about to meet with the
22:08Latest rep and try to
22:10Convince them that their decisions are
22:12Not only cruel and discriminating but they are
22:14Short sighted
22:16And fiscally unwise
22:18Uh huh
22:20So I'm sorry I need to get my game face on
22:22But can we talk later
