00:00 Previously on Shortland Street
00:02 Ta-da!
00:03 It's my gift to you, Ian Holden
00:04 This is perfect!
00:05 That car must have been expensive
00:07 Okay, I love Logan like a friend, like a best friend
00:09 And I would do anything to take that pain away
00:11 If I'm honest, just having you around has made this whole thing bearable
00:14 Which is why I want to take you out to dinner tonight
00:15 Over there
00:16 Chris has agreed to do it as surgery
00:17 Do you think the operation will work?
00:19 I need a hundred things to go right
00:20 If even one thing goes wrong, she'll die
00:23 But if I don't do the operation, she'll die
00:25 I cannot let a potentially unstable dog perform something this risky
00:29 Just wait
00:30 Scalpel
00:31 So, how have you been? I know you've had a hard week
00:38 Yeah, yeah, good. Thanks for everything
00:42 No, you don't have to keep thanking me
00:45 Mona, I've been doing some thinking
00:48 I've been to a million call-outs
00:51 I've seen a lot of people die
00:53 You know, and little kids crying, big kids our age
00:57 Yeah, and now it's your turn
00:59 Yeah, it's really hard, like really hard
01:03 I'm so sorry
01:04 But it's also what I needed, like death, right up close and ugly
01:10 And right next door is life
01:12 Oh
01:13 Yeah, I should start a podcast
01:15 Oh, yeah, you could. So enlightened
01:18 By having you in my life, you know, I'm so grateful for you
01:22 And I really know what matters
01:26 Sorry, I'm just spewing all these thoughts at you
01:29 No, no, it's okay. Keep going
01:32 Well, I've been having all these feelings, like new, unexpected feelings
01:37 You're so right
01:38 Right. I don't know what it is
01:41 There's just some things I can't wait for anymore
01:43 Yeah
01:44 I'm moving back to Hamilton with Mum
01:46 Wait, you're going for good?
01:50 I'm going home
01:54 Okay. Okay, wow
01:57 I just need to be around Mum while she adjusts to her new reality
02:00 Yeah, I get that
02:03 Yeah, it's just the way it has to be
02:06 Micro scissors
02:11 It's going to be a long haul, so whatever you need, the team are ready and waiting
02:21 To bring you water
02:22 Craniotome
02:23 Ready to go
02:25 I missed the first incision
02:33 It was perfect
02:34 What was it now?
02:35 Curved behind the ear, extending from the mastoid bone to the midline of the neck
02:39 He's got notes
02:41 Okay. For the parents
02:43 Why did I let him do this?
02:46 Because he is the only one with the guts to do a retro sigmoid craniotomy
02:50 No offence
02:51 You know you can go home and I will update you
02:54 No, I am staying, just to keep your hand off that phone
02:57 What are you talking about?
02:59 She nearly cancelled the op
03:01 Well, Chris looks in fine form to me
03:03 Exactly. And you vouched for him, right?
03:05 That is not Chris. That is...
03:09 I don't even know
03:12 Well, we don't need him to be the old Chris
03:14 As long as he's still got the surgical goods
03:18 If he's going to pull this off, every tiny movement will have to be flawless
03:23 And it will be
03:25 It's got the casino, the Waikato River
03:32 Can't you just hear it calling me home?
03:34 The Hamilton Gardens is like these mechanical trees
03:37 It's freaky
03:38 Earth to moon
03:40 I'm trying to make the tron sound hot so you come visit me
03:43 What are you doing?
03:46 Why are you being like this?
03:48 I thought you'd be stoked for me, acting like I pissed in your gas tank
03:50 Yeah, I would be stoked for you if I thought you were doing what you wanted to do
03:53 I am
03:54 I mean, why don't you cut the cord if you can?
03:56 What?
03:57 Look, just be a man
03:59 Do what you want, stop being such a mummer's boy
04:02 Oh, you want me to leave mum after she just lost the love of her life?
04:05 I didn't say that, I just...
04:07 Oh, what if?
04:08 OK, let's just...
04:11 Let's just focus on the big day tomorrow, OK?
04:14 Let's figure out the schedule, the funerals, processions
04:16 and work out who's going to talk first, all that
04:18 I'll sort all that stuff out
04:19 No, no, no, I can help you, I just...
04:21 Just so you know, mum, I'm stepping up to be the man of the house
04:25 So if that makes me a mummer's boy, then cool
04:27 No, can you not go...
04:28 No, mum, just give me a call when you stop being such a dick
04:31 She is doing great
04:39 Everything's going very smoothly
04:40 What step?
04:41 Sorry?
04:43 What step are they up to?
04:44 The craniotome part is all done
04:47 Just a small bone flap exposing the dura
04:49 Listen, you guys are going to need to pace yourselves, OK?
04:53 This is like a hundred metre race and we're about a centimetre in
04:56 OK?
04:58 Could you keep talking to us, please?
05:01 Dr Walken
05:02 Ah, excuse me
05:03 No need to go into that level of detail
05:10 Chris told them a hundred things could go wrong
05:12 So they googled all the things
05:14 Did you encourage that?
05:15 No
05:16 Here you are enabling them
05:17 Terrifying them of procedures that they don't understand
05:20 The surgery is going well, I'm just reporting that
05:22 As long as you don't promise them miracles
05:24 No, I've learned my lesson
05:26 Good
05:27 Good
05:28 The child could die at any minute now
05:31 It's going to be OK
05:33 That doesn't work on me
05:34 I know, I know
05:36 But I appreciate it
05:39 [Music]
05:41 OK, another hill
05:49 Do this, girl
05:50 And then we're going to Rome
05:52 What on earth?
05:56 OK, Sarah, let's go again
05:59 You go with the chase group and I'll stay with the bulletin
06:01 Who is she talking to?
06:04 Madonna
06:06 Oh, come on, feel the burn
06:08 And then we're going with the breakaway group
06:11 Sorry, was I a little loud?
06:17 It's the middle of the night
06:20 Yeah, I couldn't sleep
06:22 You don't want to try?
06:23 Camomile tea?
06:24 Silent meditation
06:26 OK, sorry, I'll stop
06:28 You go back to bed
06:30 Who's Sarah?
06:32 Sarah Ulmer
06:34 I'm just imagining she's mentoring me in the bulletin
06:37 The bulletin
06:38 Don't encourage her
06:39 OK, you two go back to bed
06:41 Go to sleep
06:42 I can't even get back to sleep
06:45 Come on, at least she's not moping
06:47 Moping is quiet
06:48 She'll be gone soon
06:49 Oh, really, you think?
06:50 Because this bike looks awfully permanent
06:52 And then she's gone and got the VR thingy
06:54 Well, she's a hyper-online dolphin
06:56 It's an improvement in moping
06:58 It's, you know, flat hunting
06:59 When?
07:00 Any day now
07:03 [Beep]
07:04 [Music]
07:05 You've selected Hipfine
07:07 Starting Pyrenees
07:09 Let's get ready
07:10 You, you, you've selected
07:12 You, you, you've selected the Pyrenees
07:16 Get ready
07:17 [Music]
07:28 Being boss starting to bore you?
07:30 You wish
07:31 Shift work sucks
07:33 Has since the beginning of time
07:35 No, no, it's Madonna
07:37 She was doing the Tour de France in our lounge at midnight
07:40 Sorry I asked
07:42 God, it's the biggest cycle machine you've ever seen
07:44 In your lounge?
07:46 Yeah
07:47 You're OK with this?
07:48 What do you think?
07:50 Right
07:51 No rest for the wicked
07:54 This is Greta
07:58 Hi, Greta
07:59 Wakey, wakey
08:01 What's happened?
08:07 Big milestone
08:09 70% of the tumour excised
08:11 Wow
08:12 Oh yeah, they're just taking a quick break
08:14 Hercus is a machine
08:15 Yeah, he's not going to give up that scalpel
08:17 You want to stall the action?
08:19 No, no, stall ways to go
08:21 Look at her
08:22 Such a little thing, only nine years old
08:24 Would be a wreck if that was really
08:27 Are the parents holding up?
08:29 Not really
08:31 I'm going to talk to them now
08:33 Only got five minutes
08:37 We'll pull a sickie, or a schedule
08:39 I'm going to take Danny
08:41 Can you send updates, please?
08:43 Boy, you OK?
08:45 Yeah
08:47 I'll go soon, I just wait for the showdown
08:52 Eh?
08:53 The boss, she's on the warpath
08:55 Thanks guys
08:57 Chris, take a break, don't just stretch in here
09:00 You ready?
09:02 I've scrubbed in, I can hold the foot, I'll keep Edith stable
09:05 Take five minutes
09:07 Are you OK?
09:09 Yeah, yeah, I'm sweet, I just need a massage
09:11 OK, that's enough, focus now
09:13 No, we can wait for Selina's replacement
09:15 And you can rest while they scrub in
09:17 Are you being replaced?
09:19 No, I'm just peachy, Dr Warner
09:21 Then let's proceed
09:23 Chris, I do have authority to replace you
09:25 I'm not leaving
09:27 Selina
09:29 101
09:31 Samuel's zero
09:33 Everything is progressing as expected
09:35 About 70% of the tumour's been removed
09:37 OK
09:39 But we do still have some hurdles to get through
09:41 Maybe try focusing on Kahu, make sure she's OK
09:43 Yeah
09:45 OK, they're gone
09:49 Tell me everything
09:51 Chris is amazing
09:53 Won't even take a break
09:55 What a legend
09:57 Yeah, how does he do it?
09:59 Maybe he got a new bladder when he became a FOD person
10:01 What?
10:03 I know, invasion of the body snatchers
10:05 No, I mean, operate on a child
10:07 Well you do that all the time
10:09 I know, I'm just out of practice
10:11 And now that my kids are getting older
10:13 It's more like those parents in a robo-surgeon
10:15 Compartmentalise
10:17 Yeah, I know
10:19 That's what Chris is doing
10:21 His whole life's a mess too
10:23 Just like mine
10:25 OK, I didn't mean it to come out like that
10:27 My life is a mess, ask Zara
10:29 We can fix all that
10:31 How?
10:33 Grovel
10:35 I tried
10:37 OK, then we regroup, build your technique, you grovel again
10:39 Oh, hear that? Brian's calling
10:41 No he's not
10:43 I need to work on my project
10:45 Well tonight then, Antiques Roadshow, you and me, it'll be just like old times
10:47 I'm good
10:49 I'm gonna call you from Warner's Op, you and me, we're gonna hang out together
10:51 What's he doing?
11:07 He's thinking
11:09 How could he think with Esther hovering around in there like a nana?
11:11 You're just jealous she didn't ask you to assist
11:13 He didn't ask Esther either
11:15 She's just waiting for him to keel over
11:17 Huh?
11:19 He hasn't even left the room, not once
11:21 Maybe we should send in some adult diapers
11:23 Let the man be free
11:25 Man, it's amazing
11:31 That's something so small can wreak so much havoc
11:33 You should take a break Chris
11:35 You've been going for too long
11:37 I can see the potential aneurysm there
11:39 And I can handle it
11:41 Nicole?
11:43 Yes?
11:45 Scrub nurse?
11:47 Jackie is standing by
11:49 You
11:51 Sorry?
11:53 Scrub in please, now
11:55 Okay, I'm on my way
11:57 Chris I'm alright
12:03 You're done
12:05 No I'm going with you, all the way
12:07 Out
12:09 Oh
12:11 Oh so your staff
12:15 Need a break because they're human
12:17 What about you Chris?
12:19 Do I need a tie?
12:31 I'll grab a tie, we'll take my car yeah?
12:33 I don't know if I can make it
12:35 What?
12:37 I've got this big life or death operation happening at work
12:39 With a little girl and if she survives
12:41 It is going to be publicity gold
12:43 You're allowed to go to a funeral Mon
12:45 Yeah it's just
12:47 The thing is
12:49 What?
12:51 I don't know if I'm going to be welcome
12:53 Bro what are you doing here?
12:55 We're picking you up
12:57 I just need to talk to this one first
12:59 Hey that sounds good because this one doesn't think she's allowed to come to Holden's funeral
13:01 So back in a sec
13:05 Well of course you can come
13:07 You sorted the classic car
13:09 I just said some really mean things to you
13:11 That's ok
13:13 No it's not
13:15 I know why you said those things
13:17 Do you?
13:19 Stevie Lee, she's a trigger for your own mum
13:21 Logan
13:23 Your mum doesn't talk to you anymore
13:25 She's ran off to who knows where
13:27 And Moira's, she's not well
13:29 Stevie Lee all she does is talk about me and care
13:31 I wasn't even thinking about my mum
13:33 You were saying goodbye to your dad today
13:35 So please don't worry about me
13:37 Yeah but I do
13:39 It's Becky Giz, we outta here
13:41 It's really quite ingenious
13:49 You just sync the smart helmet to the app and it tracks your ride automatically
13:51 It even plays music
13:53 Amazing
13:55 I'll send you the link, now tell me all about the tour de France
13:57 It's like I'm there
13:59 Climbing these beautiful mountains
14:01 And I have to team the camera people
14:03 It's like the real race
14:05 What's going on?
14:07 Oh
14:09 Do you want me to have a word with her?
14:11 No
14:13 Oh come on, you need your lounge back
14:15 I've done the course on how to be nice to annoying people
14:17 Milana is, she's a great house guest
14:19 Oh is she?
14:21 You're worse at lying than you are at hiding ugly yawns
14:23 Look ok
14:25 It's just a bit of a busy house
14:27 It certainly is
14:29 I'm not gonna make her feel unwelcome
14:31 She's been through a lot
14:33 You make her too comfortable for her, she might never leave
14:35 She will?
14:37 It's fine, I'm fine
14:39 It's fine
14:41 I think you should maybe set some boundaries
14:43 Worked for you and I though didn't it?
14:45 I know, I hate it when I'm right too
14:47 Ice and steel
14:51 Just like me
14:53 I don't think I can lock
14:55 Take a break, you've earned it
14:57 No I started that off with that kid
14:59 And I am ending it
15:01 Sorry, parents want an update?
15:03 He's stuck again
15:05 What?
15:07 Did he hit the cranial nerve?
15:09 It's what we've been waiting for
15:11 He just needs to exercise this last tiny part
15:13 How long are we talking?
15:15 This is it, this is the end

17:53 I do
17:55 Bye
17:57 See what I mean? Personality transplant
18:03 Since when exactly?
18:05 Err, since I told her about the trunk
18:07 Moving back
18:09 Bro, she's into you
18:11 And more than that, she loves you
18:13 Bullshit
18:15 No she doesn't, seriously
18:19 That's why she's acting all funny with me
18:21 Yep
18:23 No, I can't believe you don't see it
18:25 But I'm leaving town
18:27 Yeah
18:29 Crap
18:31 Newsflash everyone, Tuma has been fully excised
18:35 And he's closing up as we speak
18:37 Is Nick still going?
18:39 I mean, he's still the queen, he's still the queen of theatre
18:41 I want to be like that one day, you know
18:43 Desired by all the top surgeons but like, in a skills based way of course
18:45 Hello?
18:47 Hi, what's been your dick?
18:49 Oh no, mum and dad fighting again
18:51 Where's my patient?
18:53 She got moved to Kupuka too
18:55 I knew that
18:57 You know he says I don't know how to set boundaries
18:59 But since when does that guy know anything about staying in his own lane?
19:01 Greta?
19:05 Can you hear me?
19:07 Wake up Greta
19:09 There she is
19:11 What happened?
19:13 Blood sugar was 1.9
19:15 You missed it
19:17 We put up a bag of 10% dextrose
19:19 Okay
19:21 Caught it in time
19:23 What about you?
19:25 You'll be fine Greta
19:27 You'll be fine, wakey wakey
19:29 That's it
19:35 Woohoo

19:51 Next step will just be waiting for her to wake up
19:53 And then we'll know where we stand
19:55 With her recovery and prognosis
19:57 Where's Dr Warner?
19:59 He's...
20:01 We need to thank him
20:03 We need to take this amazing picture of him
20:05 He'll just be exhausted
20:07 So maybe tomorrow
20:09 He said a hundred things
20:11 A hundred things had to go right
20:13 Yep
20:15 I can take you through to Seattle
20:17 Thank you
20:19 Thank you
20:21 You glad I made a fuss now?
20:27 You are the best patient advocate
20:29 Top of the class
20:31 Thanks
20:33 Hey, mom, wait up
20:37 What are you doing here?
20:39 It sucks when you're mad at me
20:41 I'm not mad at you
20:43 Yeah, you're in a huff because I'm moving back to Hamilton
20:45 You'll have a great time wherever you go
20:47 You know you can tell me everything right?
20:49 Yep
20:51 This is going to sound crazy but
20:53 Do you like me?
20:55 What?
20:57 Okay, nah, just forget it
20:59 You're not saying that I'm pining after you
21:01 What? No, I'm just worried about the fact that you're throwing your life away
21:03 What? No, I'm just worried about the fact that you're throwing your life away
21:05 Just go home, get stuck into a crate
21:07 Have a drink for Holden
21:09 Hey
21:15 I'm not really a hugger
21:17 Okay
21:19 Admit it
21:21 I was right
21:23 You took a huge gamble with a child's life
21:25 So did you, you advocated for surgery
21:27 That's great, this girl has a chance
21:29 But don't you ever go behind my back again
21:31 Hey
21:33 The man, the legend
21:35 Congratulations Chris
21:37 Guys, I think he just wants to go home
21:39 P.R. Priceless
21:41 Speech, speech
