00:30♪♪♪
01:00She's like a cat bird mom.
01:01I put a ball on her.
01:02What was that?
01:03What?
01:04Nothing.
01:05What can we help you with?
01:07You're in the middle of something?
01:08We uh?
01:09Mind if I sit in?
01:14Be our guest.
01:30Carry on.
02:01Thanks.
02:05You sure you're feeling OK now, sweetheart?
02:09Listen, you don't have anything to worry about, OK?
02:12We both love you very much.
02:15And we love each other, too.
02:18Really?
02:19Yes, really.
02:22And sometimes grown-ups do fight.
02:24It's not great, but it happens.
02:26And then we say sorry, and we make things better.
02:29Like now, for instance.
02:30We're both sorry that we made you feel anxious and worried about us.
02:35It's OK.
02:37OK.
02:38I'm not going anywhere, though, OK?
02:40Can I go read my book now?
02:42Of course you can.
02:44You guys are the best mum and dad ever.
02:46Oh, honey, you are the best, too.
02:50The very best.
02:52OK.
02:53Both love you, mate.
02:55He's trying to appease us.
02:58I don't think he's trying...
02:59He's trying to handle the situation.
03:01Handle who? Me?
03:02You're the one who's distant.
03:03You don't think he...
03:04Both of us, Drew.
03:05We're a ticking time bomb.
03:06We're angry and we...
03:10We can do better, can't we?
03:13Yeah.
03:14Of course we can.
03:25Hey.
03:26I am nearly done.
03:33There.
03:34Done.
03:35What you doing?
03:36New plan for the free clinic.
03:38Now it is the priority clinic.
03:40Oh, there's a good ring to it.
03:42I thought you shut that down for good.
03:44Yeah, thank Monique.
03:45But man, that press release really fired me up.
03:48Right.
03:49You think it's going to work out this time?
03:51Right.
03:52You think it's going to work out this time?
03:54Oh, I do.
03:55And it feels good.
03:56No secrets, everything out in the open.
04:00Well, it's just...
04:01Monique is watching the hospital like a hawk.
04:03Well, I thought of that because I...
04:06lulled her into a false sense of security.
04:09Really?
04:12OK, what is it?
04:13Well, if you get on the wrong side of the shareholders,
04:15you'll attract their attention.
04:17You could end up in an audit or who knows what.
04:19Well, everything is above board.
04:21I'm doing a good thing, babe.
04:23I know that.
04:24I'm just trying to look out for you.
04:26Well, I've achieved something really big and exciting.
04:30Could you just back me on it?
04:32Of course.
04:33You're going to smash it.
04:50Hmm.
04:57Hmm.
04:58Hmm.
05:02Hey, it's just me, Selena.
05:20Hi, Selena.
05:21Surprise!
05:22Oh, my God, you're here!
05:24What are you doing here?
05:26I wanted to come over to surprise you.
05:28Yeah, I'm really surprised.
05:30I'm so happy.
05:31Look at your hair.
05:32Yeah, Nanacena cut it for me.
05:34It looks awesome.
05:35Come here.
05:36Come here.
05:37So, did he call you to plan this?
05:40No, his Nana did.
05:41She's from the same village as mine.
05:43Are you kidding?
05:44Cool, eh?
05:45So, she called me and told me that he wanted to surprise you
05:48and I thought it might be just the thing you needed.
05:51Yes, thank you.
05:53Do you want to take your aqua upstairs, darling?
05:55I've got to get this up first.
05:57Here, Mum, for you.
05:58Religious!
05:59Yummy!
06:00Yeah, but they're way better than the ones here.
06:02They're long.
06:03And these ones are for Maeve and Cassie.
06:06Oh, thank you, mate.
06:07They look delicious.
06:14What's wrong, babe?
06:17About from my mum dying and my wife leaving and missing my son?
06:22Come here.
06:24You just let those tears out, girl.
06:27You've got your boy back now and he'll keep you going
06:30until it all feels a little bit easier, which it will.
06:34Really?
06:35I promise.
06:36He came all this way and I didn't even know.
06:39What if something had happened?
06:40He's fine.
06:41All on his own.
06:42Yeah, but it all worked out great.
06:44Just focus on there, yeah?
06:50Come here, quickly.
06:51I need another hug.
07:08So this is a volunteer situation?
07:11We're asking staff to donate their time.
07:13Well, yeah, because who doesn't want to work all day and all night?
07:16We'll have rosters, make sure no one gets burned out.
07:19Good luck with that.
07:20Who's paying for it?
07:21Fundraising.
07:22I've spoken to the fossils and they're willing to help
07:25and we'll approach our big donors too.
07:27OK, fine.
07:28I'll talk to the nurses.
07:30Thank you, you're a star.
07:31I'm a supernova, babe, and I am this close to exploding.
07:34Can you not push my nurses over the edge?
07:36You got it.
07:37And it's better be on the level this time.
07:39Everyone will know that Shortland Street are doing it
07:41on a voluntary basis to aid all patients.
07:43Everyone who wants to know.
07:46Does Monique need to know?
07:48I want to get it up and running before I inform the shareholders.
07:53OK, your call.
07:55Thank you, Selena.
08:00Tough cookie.
08:01Well, it's all coming together.
08:03How did it go last night?
08:04Great, we were slammed, but I wouldn't change it.
08:07Oh, good.
08:10I think we might actually make a difference
08:12instead of chasing our tails.
08:15What?
08:16TK would be proud.
08:18Well, let's just make it happen first
08:20before we congratulate ourselves.
08:22Got it.
08:24Marty, are you down to take a shift at the priority clinic?
08:28Marty is on the fence.
08:31Really?
08:32It's not like you?
08:33You guys have been too relaxed about this.
08:35Whenever the task figures out what you're trying to do...
08:37Do you think they'll find out that we're trying to help people in need?
08:40Yeah, I don't think they'll see it that way.
08:43I'll leave you to do cross one out, Kaz.
08:48I'm not the enemy here.
08:50We're operating within policy guidelines.
08:52I just think you're getting in too deep.
08:54And I think you're not hearing me.
08:56We're making our co-papa work within the guidelines.
08:59And you're walking a dangerous line
09:01and putting your job at risk.
09:03No, the only time I risked my job
09:05was last year.
09:06It would have been great if you were concerned for me then.
09:09C'est bon.
09:33Maman, est-ce que je peux manger ?
09:36Maman ?
09:37Oh, bonjour.
09:38As-tu dormi bien ?
09:39Oui, qu'est-ce que je peux manger pour le déjeuner ?
09:40Oh, n'importe quoi, chérie.
09:41Comme quoi ?
09:42Eh bien, regarde et vois.
09:44C'est tout de bonne santé.
09:57Est-ce que tu vas bien ?
09:59Je vais bien.
10:01Tu ne te sens pas bien.
10:03Ne le fais pas.
10:04D'accord.
10:06Tu veux qu'on en parle ?
10:08Non.
10:10Je pensais que tu serais contente d'être à la maison.
10:13Tu ne t'en fous pas que je sois à la maison.
10:15Bien sûr que je t'en fous.
10:16Tout ce que tu fais, c'est regarder ton téléphone.
10:18C'est dégueulasse.
10:21Désolée.
10:24Allons nous amuser aujourd'hui.
10:26Qu'est-ce que tu penses de sortir ?
10:27Je veux jouer avec mes cousins.
10:30Tu en manques déjà.
10:32Mais c'était plutôt amusant là-bas, non ?
10:35Il y a plein d'enfants et plein de choses à faire.
10:37Et il fait froid ici.
10:39Je sais que le changement est difficile,
10:41mais juste pour que tu saches,
10:43je suis tellement, tellement contente que tu sois à la maison.
10:49Je dois aller travailler rapidement,
10:51mais je t'apporterai le déjeuner après.
10:52Est-ce que je peux rester à la maison ?
10:54Pas à ta place, chérie.
10:56Quand est-ce que Maëve et Cassian vont revenir ?
11:00Je ne sais pas.
11:03Qu'est-ce qu'il y a, Billy ?
11:05Je veux retourner à Samoa.
11:09Bonjour.
11:10Est-ce qu'il y a quelque chose d'excitant sur l'agenda aujourd'hui ?
11:12Pas vraiment.
11:13J'ai juste dormi un peu.
11:15Oui, tu as l'air fatigué.
11:17Ils ne t'ont même pas laissé travailler la nuit, non ?
11:19Je fais ce que je suis dit.
11:21Et qu'est-ce qu'Esther te dit ?
11:23Désolée, quoi ?
11:24Cette rencontre hier.
11:25Pourquoi avez-vous tous réunis ?
11:27Nous avons tous travaillé ensemble.
11:29C'était juste un mélange de gens, n'est-ce pas ?
11:32Ah, vraiment ?
11:34D'accord.
11:35Elle t'a dit de ne pas m'écraser.
11:37Personne ne t'écrase.
11:39Hey, pourquoi ne pas boire un café ?
11:41Je veux savoir le plus récent de Phil, tu sais.
11:43Elle a tout simplement dit au-delà.
11:44Aucun au revoir, aucun message, rien.
11:45C'est un peu bizarre, n'est-ce pas ?
11:46Elle a juste besoin d'un peu de temps, d'accord ?
11:47Parfois, l'hôpital peut faire ça pour toi.
11:49Regarde, les gars.
11:50Je comprends.
11:51Je suis à l'extérieur.
11:53Mais je suis ton ami.
11:54Je suis ton allié.
11:55Et je suis là pour t'aider.
11:57Oui.
11:58Bon, j'ai besoin d'un café, alors excuse-moi.
12:00Hey, salut.
12:02Regarde, je sais qu'il y a quelque chose qui se passe.
12:03Donne-moi le thé.
12:04Le thé, c'est une bonne idée.
12:05Le café va juste me faire réveiller.
12:17Tu vas manger ça ?
12:18C'est un petit morceau.
12:19Pousse-le autour de ta plate.
12:20Est-ce qu'il y a quelque chose qui est mort ?
12:22Oui, mais finis ça d'abord.
12:24Nous devons garder le café.
12:25Oui, mais finis ça d'abord.
12:26Nous devons garder le café.
12:28Ah, bien sûr.
12:32Oh, c'est bien d'être de retour, Billy,
12:34et d'amuser avec ta mère ?
12:36Non.
12:37Pourquoi pas ?
12:38Il manque juste Samuel
12:40et ses cousins, n'est-ce pas ?
12:42Maven et Cassie aussi.
12:43Oui, ça prend un peu d'habitude.
12:46Oh, calme-toi.
12:48Tu vas bien ?
12:50Maven, Cassie et Knox,
12:52ils ne seront pas là pour toujours.
12:53Tu le promets ?
12:54Oui, je le promets.
12:56Parfois, c'est bien pour les adultes
12:58d'avoir un peu d'espace entre eux.
13:00Tu sais, ça signifie qu'ils aiment l'un l'autre
13:02et qu'ils savent comment être meilleurs.
13:05D'accord.
13:06Désolée, j'ai été méchante.
13:08Tu n'as pas été méchante ?
13:09C'est confus pour toi.
13:11Je comprends.
13:12Nicole, je suis tellement contente de t'avoir retrouvée.
13:13Mme Patterson est en train de s'échapper.
13:16Eh bien, je ne suis pas en train d'accueillir.
13:19Eh bien, elle ne va que t'écouter.
13:21Since you're here, would you mind ?
13:25Hey, I'm on a break.
13:26I could keep my friend, Billy, company.
13:29Are you sure ?
13:30Yeah, go for it.
13:31Okay, I'll be back soon.
13:37Hey, good on you for stepping up for your mum
13:40and supporting her when she's feeling a bit low.
13:42I'm proud of you.
13:44Proud enough to buy me a donut ?
13:47Yeah, well.
13:52Don't say you're avoiding me too.
13:54Huh ?
13:55I am public enemy number one.
13:56All I've done is taken a giant leap up the corporate ladder
13:58and you'd think I'd be getting snaps,
14:00but people just give me shade.
14:02That's no good.
14:03No good ?
14:04Marty, so insightful.
14:05Glad we had this chat.
14:07I'm sorry, I had an argument with Esther
14:09and I'm just a bit distracted.
14:12And I better get going.
14:16Hey, Mon, do you want to go get a coffee together ?
14:19You know what, Marty ?
14:20I would absolutely love that.
14:22You know what, Mon ?
14:23I miss our friendship now that you've become a bigwig.
14:25It's okay, Marty.
14:26I'll always have time for the small people.
14:30You okay ?
14:33Everyone hates me.
14:35Well, you've still got me.
14:37Do I, though ?
14:38You've been kind of distant.
14:39Have I ?
14:40Yes.
14:41Look, I know you don't agree with the press release,
14:43but I am doing my job and doing what I have to do
14:45and it's not fair for everyone to put me on the outs because of it.
14:48Mon, you can't expect things to stay the same.
14:51You're in upper management now.
14:53People can't confide or gossip with you like they used to.
14:58So, what's your excuse ?
15:01I don't want work tensions getting in the way of our relationship.
15:05So what do we do ?
15:06Just smile and nod politely at each other ?
15:09If it means we get on with our jobs, then yes.
15:13Great, even my boyfriend doesn't want to spend time with me.
15:15Mon.
15:16It's fine, my mum told me you can't have it all,
15:18and boy was she right.
15:20My landlord might be selling the apartment.
15:23I was thinking about getting a place on my own,
15:25but we could get a place together.
15:30No ?
15:33Why don't we dial it down a notch
15:36and you move in with me in my flat ?
15:40And your flatmates ?
15:42Yeah.
15:44Okay.
15:46Good idea.
15:48Yeah, I'll see you at home.
15:53Can't thank you enough, Mr Mayhew.
15:55Okay, we'll speak then. Bye.
15:58Yes.
16:00Who was that ?
16:01Fergus Mayhew, do you remember his son, Mac ?
16:04He was a patient of yours ?
16:05Yeah, what does he want ?
16:07I called him.
16:08He's donated to the hospital in the past,
16:10so I asked if he would consider donating to the priority clinic,
16:12and he just did.
16:14And that's another $10,000 ?
16:17He can probably write it off.
16:20Look, I'm sorry, okay ?
16:21I shouldn't have brought up this question.
16:23It's okay.
16:24No, it's not.
16:25It's in the past,
16:26and we've worked really hard to move on and mend things,
16:29and I know you're only trying to look out for me.
16:33Yeah.
16:35So, a big donation for a clinic that hasn't even been approved yet ?
16:39Well, we don't need approval for a Medvitas.
16:41Well, if we don't get it,
16:42it'll seem like we have something to hide.
16:44They could turn the whole place upside down.
16:46And that worries you ?
16:48Well, I'm worried about you.
16:50Well, don't. It's happening.
16:52Esther.
16:53Why are you so against the clinic ?
16:55It's going to help people.
16:56I thought that's what you wanted.
16:59What ?
17:00You can't go ahead with the clinic.
17:02Don't do this, please.
17:07Dr. McCaskell.
17:08Excuse me, Dr. Drew.
17:10What now ?
17:11You still haven't signed off on the theatre list changes.
17:14I said they're fine.
17:15I still need the sign-off, sorry.
17:18Happy now ?
17:19Ecstatic.
17:23Drew ?
17:27Are you okay ?
17:28I'm fine.
17:29You're not being the usual charming self with the nurses.
17:32Your point ?
17:34Hearst Mayor, are you following up on his recommendations ?
17:37Is this your way of asking me if I'm going to have a drink tonight ?
17:39No, not at all.
17:40Good.
17:41I was wondering, though, like maybe, you know,
17:44should we book in some gym time together ?
17:46We could go on a couple of runs every week.
17:48I think it might be good for us.
17:49Sure.
17:50Why not ?
17:51Yeah, I think we just need to make some adjustments to our routine
17:54and, um, find a new balance.
17:56Fine.
17:57New fitness regime, lay off the booze, see how we go.
18:02One other thing is, um,
18:04Marley and Remus, we didn't really deal with that last night.
18:07Well, what do we do ?
18:08Just say he's dead, get over it ?
18:09No, obviously we need to be sensitive.
18:13Well, I don't want him seeing ghosts.
18:15We need to get him back into counselling.
18:17Well, we're on the same page there.
18:22Fergus Mayhew's son was friends with Alfie.
18:26Okay, that's the kid with the knee surgery.
18:29Alfie's family couldn't afford to pay for it.
18:31Well, they sorted it in the end because somebody paid for it.
18:34Mayhew.
18:36Wow.
18:37Um, so generous.
18:39No, he's not.
18:40He's a horrible, selfish person.
18:42These donations didn't come from the goodness of his heart.
18:45They're for some tax break or something.
18:47Okay, what did he do to you ?
18:49I asked him to help Alfie and he refused.
18:52So I tacked Alfie's surgery onto his bill without him knowing.
18:57Are you serious ?
19:00That's fraud.
19:01Just hear me out, okay ?
19:02Is this why you didn't want me to go ahead with the priority clinic ?
19:05What, are you scared my neck's going to go looking and find out ?
19:09Marty, how could you do this ?
19:11I did it to help.
19:12Mayhew is so rich he wasn't even going to notice a couple of extra zeros.
19:15It's theft.
19:16How is this any different to what you're doing in the clinic ?
19:18You were sticking your neck out to help people and that's all I...
19:20No, no, no, this crosses so many ethical lines.
19:22We would never work again and how dare you compare it to my clinic ?
19:25The whole system is unfair.
19:26I wasn't just going to let Alfie suffer.
19:28What, do you think you're some kind of outlaw or hero ?
19:31He was going to lose his scholarship.
19:32His entire future...
19:33No, no, no, stop !
19:35Fergus Mayhew must have rubbed you up the wrong way and you wanted to pay him back.
19:38Don't you pretend otherwise.
19:41Hello.
19:42Hello, it's me.
19:43Should I come back ?
19:45No.
19:46No, come in.
19:47You wanted to catch up.
19:49It's about the latest budgets.
19:51If you have time...
19:54I do.
19:55Marty was just leaving.
19:58I'll see you at home.
20:00Bye.
20:30Did you ?
20:31Yeah.
20:32No help from Nan ?
20:33No, I didn't need it.
20:34Wow, that's pretty cool Billy, well done.
20:37It's no big deal, just chill out.
20:40Okay, I'll stop smothering you.
20:43I just missed you heaps, you're my baby.
20:46I'm not a baby.
20:47Even when you're 65, you'll still be my baby.
20:50Can you stop treating me like one ?
20:52Yes, of course.
20:55I will trust you to look after yourself.
20:58And I won't go on about it anymore.
21:01Something was definitely up.
21:03The tension, it was thick.
21:06I have to go.
21:07Okay.
21:08Bye.
21:09Bye.
21:10Bye.
21:11Bye.
21:12Bye.
21:13Bye.
21:14Bye.
21:15Bye.
21:16Bye.
21:17Bye.
21:18Bye.
21:19Bye.
