00:00Previously on Shortland Street
00:02How are we supposed to have trust in this house?
00:04It was just a stupid mistake
00:06We regretted it immediately, okay?
00:08It meant nothing. Does Harper know?
00:10Their marriage is already so rocky
00:12If we could just deal with this by ourselves
00:14Why are you giving me the attitude?
00:16I don't know, Drew. You told me
00:18It's not my fault if I've got a guilty conscience
00:20Your lies are turning me into a liar, Nick. That's the sick part
00:22For God's sake, stop fighting
00:24Who's that?
00:26Cassie, hi
00:30What do you want, Louisa?
00:32Maybe I could come in?
00:34Cassie, just go upstairs
00:36What?
00:38Oh, she doesn't have to run away
00:40I'm only here to make amends
00:42Go upstairs
00:44I just want to say sorry
00:46I'm doing really well
00:48Is that why you're here? To say sorry?
00:50Yeah, well, you've done that now
00:52So you can go
00:54Please!
00:56I knew you wouldn't be pleased to see me
00:58I knew you wouldn't be pleased to see me
01:00And I've earned that
01:02I just needed you to see that I'm genuine
01:04And part of my healing journey
01:06Yeah, we get all that
01:08Now is not a good time, if you wouldn't mind
01:10Whenever I think about your beautiful family
01:12I can't forgive myself for hurting you
01:14I just need you to know
01:16I'm sincerely sorry
01:18Okay, well, thank you
01:20For your thoughts and prayers
01:22Goodnight, Louisa
01:28Oh, my God
01:30Oh, my God, oh, my God, oh, my God
01:32This is cute, this can definitely go in our room
01:34Good
01:36But this
01:38What?
01:40Well, this could just stay in your exam
01:42What's wrong with it?
01:44Well, I'm not really a sports person
01:46Well, I love it, though
01:48Okay, okay, well, you can love it from your exam
01:50What if I put my foot down?
01:52Well, you won't
01:54Am I a fully-fledged flatmate or am I not?
01:56You are
01:58So I have rights
02:00Zahid, can you please get the door?
02:02He's out
02:08Hi
02:10Hi, how can I help?
02:12Is Nazar here?
02:14Hello
02:16Hello, Zahid
02:18What are you doing here?
02:20Am I surprising you?
02:22Yeah, yeah, what?
02:24Conference, do I get a hug or?
02:28Why didn't you say?
02:30When you asked for my address, I thought you wanted to say
02:32Actual beard?
02:34The kid has grown up
02:38Okay, well, now as an introduction
02:40So, hello, I am Manik
02:42I'm so sorry
02:44This is Zahid, Zahid Arshad, my brother
02:46Pleasure to meet you
02:48And you
02:50And this is Manik Stratton, my flatmate
02:52We all work together at the hospital
02:54Okay
02:56Let's go out to the deck, it's nice out there
02:58Then you will tell me the reason for your visit
03:14It's a little cut to the sclera, that's all
03:16It's just the white part of your eye
03:18I'm sure it will heal by itself, but we'll get a second opinion
03:20Won't be long
03:22Sweet steak
03:24How many patients have you got through?
03:26Three
03:28Can you get Dr Turner down here to assess that eye?
03:30Wait, how many have you done?
03:32Well, my current tally is sitting at a rather smug six
03:34And it's not even
03:36It's not a competition
03:38Well, be more fun if it was
03:40Okay, you're on
03:42What's the prize?
03:44Bar tab? Foot massage?
03:46There is no way I'm touching your feet
03:48Because this is between Gia and I
03:50Sorry?
03:52What are your numbers like for the priority clinic this morning?
03:54Um, they
03:56You actually got a system in place or are you just winging it?
03:58Are you okay?
04:00Did you get some bad news?
04:02Who died?
04:04No one
04:06Well, that's alright then, anything above death we can deal with
04:08Or not, are you going to tell us?
04:10If you had a job offer, say no
04:12Calm down, someone just got their wires crossed
04:14Wrong person
04:18In the face of rampant job cuts
04:20Especially in the public sector
04:22It's a breath of fresh air to see an industry leader
04:24Speaking to the outrage we're all feeling
04:26And the fact it's coming from a wahine toa
04:28Makes it all the richer
04:30Kia kaha, Esther Samuels
04:32Keep the quartet all going
04:34You are a beacon of hope
04:36Wow
04:38Right
04:40Can I get that printed on a t-shirt or something?
04:42Make up all the crappy articles that have been written about me?
04:44I know
04:46I am so proud of you
04:48We did it
04:50We actually got some good publicity for once
04:52No, you did it
04:56Oh, it's the legal team, I better take this
04:58Maybe they've heard all about your beacon too
05:00Love you
05:02Laura, hi
05:06Just finished reading it actually, thank you
05:10Yeah, how can I help?
05:12Yeah, how can I help?
05:14What kind of discrepancy?
05:18The Mayhews
05:20Yeah, I know who you mean
05:30Did you sleep down here?
05:32Yep
05:34So are you guys still fighting?
05:36We're trying to work things
05:38Yeah we are, but there's one thing we can agree on
05:40We don't want her here
05:42Definitely not
05:44What did she have to say?
05:46Just that she's had some
05:48Neotherapy
05:50Wanted us to know she's all better now
05:52And thought it would be best to tell us in person apparently
05:54Do you think she'll come back?
05:56I hope not
05:58I made it clear that the best thing is to just leave us alone
06:00Okay
06:02Hey, we've got it covered
06:04You're safe
06:06Exactly
06:10Louise
06:12Louise is a desperate attempt to make things right
06:14It's almost as desperate as me
06:16Nick, don't try and make this about us
06:18I'm just
06:20Why didn't you give your precious group my email?
06:22I didn't
06:24What about my other private details?
06:26No, of course not
06:28Hey, this is how much my wife sucks and here's how you can contact her
06:30It was one person, okay, Jimmy
06:32And he knows where I work and he knows that you work there too
06:34So I should expect a personal visit, should I?
06:36He lives in Canada
06:38Great
06:40So the whole world knows my business
06:42Don't you think that I feel betrayed by this too?
06:44Yeah, this is all about you
06:46I just
06:48I wanted some friends in my corner
06:50Random strangers
06:52I thought that'd be more objective
06:58Wait, aren't we going in together?
07:00See you in there
07:08Okay
07:24So
07:26They went out for drinks, I went to bed, turned my phone off
07:28When he got home I just pretended to be asleep
07:30And then he woke up for the sun rose and he kissed you and he said
07:32I'm sorry my queen
07:34No
07:36And then he got up early and went to breakfast
07:38Oh no
07:40And flatmates weren't invited
07:42Why would he even call me that?
07:44Am I not good enough to meet his brother?
07:46Side note, what's he like?
07:48Oh good, you're here
07:50Is that okay?
07:52And that's my cure to leave
07:54Oh, and you didn't even bring her flowers
07:56I'm so sorry
08:00I had no idea he was even in the country
08:02Are you ashamed of me?
08:04Are you ashamed of us?
08:06Then what?
08:08I panicked
08:10I don't know, it was a stupid impulse
08:12You know what it's like with brothers
08:14I was caught off guard
08:16And what? Your guard hasn't recovered this morning
08:18It's like
08:20I don't know how to get out of it
08:22It's like I've told a lie and I feel trapped in it
08:24It's a very easy fix
08:26I don't want it to come out like this
08:28Come out? Sorry, am I your secret?
08:30I thought something was wrong
08:32Is Gigi okay?
08:34She is
08:36Your parents? Yes
08:38Okay great, you can tell them
08:40Not yet
08:42I want to introduce you to my family
08:44In my own time, on my own terms
08:46Not forced into it by some out of the blue visit
08:48You want to hide me away?
08:50I want us to hide away, just you and me
08:52Before the rest of the world joins in
08:54Zahid's not here for long
08:56Can we just
08:58Just what?
09:00Keep living your lie
09:02Just while he's here
09:04Pay me a little more time, please
09:08Yep
09:10Thank you
09:14Well they went straight to accounts
09:16Of course they did
09:18Wondering why extra zeros have been added to their bill
09:20They're probably lawyering up as we speak
09:22And you really thought they'd never notice?
09:24Well I had to take the chance
09:26No you chose to, you chose to gamble
09:28A few thousand without even blinking
09:30They are super rich babe
09:32Rich people are the stingiest, everyone knows that
09:34I will own up to it, just tell them it was me
09:36They can call the cops, whatever it takes
09:38No
09:40What?
09:42Just give me a minute
09:44Okay, what are you going to do?
09:46I don't know yet
09:48Can I help?
09:50No, you can leave me alone so I can figure it out
09:58Morning
10:00You good?
10:06Listen to that lovely reo Maori
10:08Flowing effortlessly from her tongue
10:10Shush
10:12Just saying, after all that nastiness banning the language
10:14She's come a long way
10:18And through there is Edie
10:20And now we are back where we were
10:22There's Monique, we met last night
10:24Hello again
10:26What's your role here?
10:28Director of First Impressions, yes
10:30Important role
10:32Well what do they say, the unsung heroes keep the place sticking
10:34So if I'm right, receptionists always know what's what
10:36Unless they've had the rug pulled out under them
10:38So what's my brother's reputation around here?
10:40Do people like him?
10:42Really Zahid
10:44Fear him? Pity him?
10:46Pity
10:48Definitely not fear
10:50I think you are liked around here right?
10:52Except
10:54Ironically, depressingly, untreatably single
10:56Still?
10:58Still
11:00Ok, let's wrap this up
11:02But I'm sure one day you will find a partner who you want to introduce to your family
11:04Oh, Gigi's got time to meet up
11:06Really? All the Asha did in town, what's the collective noun for that?
11:08A circus, no regret
11:10Cool, well you guys have fun with that
11:16When did you first notice Bubs was unhappy?
11:18Middle of the night
11:20Yeah, they do that don't they
11:22Ok, well you just sit tight
11:24Um, Maria, did I say that correctly?
11:26Yeah, temperature's 38.1
11:28Ok, keep them cool
11:30No blankets for now
11:32Sure
11:36Is that baby Te Kōhati Ōtene?
11:38A rapid respiratory rat?
11:40Correct
11:42Why didn't you call me in?
11:44Ah, you won't need it
11:46If there is a Māori doctor around, assign them to the Māori patient
11:48Yeah, I can handle it
11:50So, you're the one who's got the virus falling into the ore?
11:52Uh-huh
11:54Are you playing games?
11:56No
11:58It's racist, always racist, Gio
12:00No, no, let her speak
12:02I can't trust you, I know that
12:04Gio, shut up and listen
12:06What?
12:08She didn't want you
12:10Or me, or anyone else here
12:12She insisted on Dr Marty Walker
12:14Marty?
12:16I know, as pākehā as you can get, but that's who she wanted
12:18Yeah, yeah
12:20Ok
12:22He'll be down when he can
12:26Ok, thanks
12:28Hey, you wanted to see me?
12:30Yeah, thank you
12:32Everything ok?
12:34Yep, yep, fine
12:36It's a business
12:38Slash personal thing
12:40And you're the only other person who knows, so
12:42About?
12:44Marty and the make-use
12:46Well, firstly
12:48This is Marty's mess
12:50He has offered to throw himself on a sword
12:52But I don't want that
12:54Right, you feel caught in the middle
12:56Again
12:58You need to deal with facts, no emotion
13:00Number one, the Mayhews, they have eagle eyes and deep pockets
13:02Number two, the hospital can't afford to take another hit
13:04Right, financially
13:06Or with the media
13:08And it's not the first time Marty's gone wrong
13:10Yes, no emotion, ok?
13:12It's off the table
13:14An employer screwed up
13:16Unfortunately, people know about it
13:18And those people, they have access to a ton of lawyers
13:20Look, your next move needs to be prioritising the hospital
13:22Yeah, I know
13:24Our reputation, our wellbeing
13:26It comes first
13:34Hey, you on a break?
13:36No, no, I'm looking for Selena
13:38We have three nurses down in ED and up here too, apparently
13:40It's terrible
13:42When can we talk?
13:44It might have to be after work
13:46I'm just a bit rattled about the Louisa thing
13:48Yeah, you and me both
13:52Are you ok?
13:54Yeah, fine
13:56Everything alright with you two?
13:58Yeah
14:00Are you sure?
14:02Just Mondays, you know
14:04I hear you, message from Selena
14:06Do you mind scrubbing in for Drew's op at 11.30?
14:08Sure
14:10He's always here if you need to talk about anything
14:12Do I really look that bad?
14:14Well, no, but look, I'll snap out of it
14:20I thought we were on the same page
14:22I thought you were ok with covering
14:24Yeah, I covered
14:26Badly
14:28Ok, cool, I'm just not going to get an Oscar
14:30I'm sorry, ok, I'm sorry that it's so tricky
14:32You are the one who is making it tricky
14:34They are going to find out about me eventually
14:36Or what, am I just some long term secret?
14:38They're going to find out, he's going to tell our parents
14:40And then it'll become a whole thing
14:42Because?
14:46It's complicated
14:48You are going to have to give me more than it is complicated
14:50Because I'm starting to think that you are ashamed of me
14:52It's because you're not Pakistani
14:54You're not Muslim
14:56You don't speak Urdu
14:58That's the unsaid expectation
15:00It's what they've always wanted
15:02So
15:04I am not good enough
15:08You are to me
15:10You're everything that I've ever wanted
15:12Like I said
15:14I just want us to
15:16Head away before everyone else goes crashing in
15:22So you are going to cross that bridge eventually with your family?
15:24Yes
15:26Of course, of course
15:28I want them to know how wonderful you are
15:30I just
15:32want more time with you first
15:34Okay
15:36Let's go and do this
15:38Please
15:44When he can't sleep he gets over tired
15:46Over cranky
15:48I know, vicious cycle
15:50Is his temperature coming down yet?
15:52No, not yet, still pretty high
15:54But it could be just a cold
15:56Esther
15:58Ah
16:06He's very congested and having trouble breathing
16:08All tests are negative so far
16:10But if his temp doesn't come down soon
16:12We'll book a chest x-ray
16:16Yeah, he's the best
16:24Hey
16:26Hey
16:28What are you doing?
16:30Setting all my socials to private
16:32Is that because of Jimmy?
16:34That's what happens when you're reminded of what a toxic cesspool the neck can be
16:38Can I explain my side?
16:40What's to explain, Nick?
16:42I read it all
16:44Okay, if your walls are still up
16:46We can talk
16:48Sit
16:50But I haven't got long, okay?
16:52Um
16:54Well, um
16:56Let me start by apologizing
16:58I'm so sorry
17:00That I aired my dirty laundry
17:02It was
17:04It was stupid and thoughtless
17:06Let's not forget selfish
17:08Yep
17:10Yep, that too
17:12At the time I was
17:14I just felt like I was drowning
17:16Nick
17:18You really couldn't talk to me
17:20I'm sorry
17:22But things were rocky with us
17:24And I just felt like the world was against me
17:26I just felt
17:28So isolated
17:30I was right there
17:32You left and you took Cassie
17:34Yeah, because
17:36The friction between the two of you
17:38Was unbearable
17:40I'm so sorry
17:42I've been so hard to be around
17:44And now your new friends have turned on you too
17:46Only Jimmy
17:48The others are furious, they've banned him
17:50Yeah, at least they can do
17:52It was horrible, Nick
17:54What he did
17:56More than horrible
17:58I'm so sorry
18:00I hate it when things come between us
18:02Same
18:04I mean, suddenly to be face to face
18:06With Louisa
18:08Yeah, it's awful timing
18:10Any time would be bad
18:12Nick, I need her to stay the hell away from us
18:14It's trouble for me
18:16We have to protect Cassie and Knox
18:18Absolutely
18:44Now you're good with people, aren't you?
18:46Why, I have to be
18:48You brought them into the world
18:50Me and you, Clare
18:52You are practically his godmother
18:54Well, Marty, I think the sun shines out of you
18:56Well, I better not let her down then
18:58And so do I, actually
19:00And I'm not giving you headaches
19:02You do know I have to put Shortland Street first
19:04I get that every time
19:06And like I said, I'm ready for the consequences
19:08Even if the Mayhews want my head
19:10I'm ready for them
19:12Yes, even if the Mayhews want my head on a plate
19:14Let's hope not
19:16Yeah
19:18Do you call her too?
19:20Baby?
19:22Help! I need help in here!
19:24What's happened?
19:26He's not breathing. He was asleep and then it was like he was getting slower
19:28And slower and then he just stopped
19:30Okay, it's okay
19:32All right, buddy. Come on, mate. Breathe for us
19:34Oh my god, Marty, do something
19:36It's okay
19:39Here is your change
19:44What have I done?
19:46It's your break
19:48Oh, right, okay
19:52Cassie, hi
19:54What do you want?
19:56Nothing
19:58Just trying to make things normal
20:00Things will never be normal between you and me
20:02Fair enough
20:04Sorry
20:06Sorry, I didn't mean to bother you or anything
20:08But, um
20:10There is something I wanted to tell you
20:12What?
20:14Psych services here at the hospital
20:16Um, are running some seminars
20:18On mental health
20:20So?
20:22What is this?
20:24Oh, they've asked me to be one of their speakers on postnatal depression
20:26Um, my story
20:28What's this got to do with me?
20:32It would mean the world to me if you would be there
20:34Just to listen
20:36It's tomorrow
20:38Okay
20:40Louisa, thank you for telling us
20:42Come on, Cassie, let's go
20:54Did we have fun?
20:56We did
20:58Except for someone making a fuss about the bill
21:00And here he goes again
21:02Do you want me to show you around ophthalmology or not?
21:04Either way, Captain
21:06Ah, I'm heading that way too
21:08So, why ophthalmology?
21:10Are you a doctor?
21:12No, no, no
21:14Naz is the shining superstar of the family
21:16Oh, please
21:18I am but a lowly optometrist
21:20Don't let Baba hear you say that
21:22I followed in our father's footsteps
21:24Best thing I ever did
21:26I have to head back up to paediatrics for a bit
21:28I could show Zahid, finish the tour
21:30Yeah, of course
21:32You go tend to your patients, I know it's important
21:34Thank you
21:36Talk later
21:38So, the optometry department is this way
21:40I've never really had roommates
21:42What?
21:44Maybe that's why I'm wondering
21:46Maybe that's why I'm confused
21:48About you and Nazar
21:50What's it like living together?
21:54He's a clean freak, have you noticed?
21:56Yeah, yeah, yeah, I've noticed
21:58I'm okay with it
22:00He says he doesn't have a girlfriend
22:02Is that true? Have you seen any evidence?
22:04None of my business
22:06Right, yeah, cut the act
22:08What?
22:10You two, I know
22:12Who told you?
22:14No one. Look, I can see why he likes you, Monique
22:16You're funny and you're stunning
22:18But don't get your hopes up
22:20Meaning?
22:22It won't last
22:24Excuse me, sorry, you don't know me
22:26So do I
22:28Do you love him?
22:30Because if you do
22:32It's gonna hurt
22:34Maybe not today
22:36Or tomorrow
22:38But one day he'll leave you
22:56You
