00:01Previously on Shortland Street.
00:02I've overstayed my welcome.
00:03No, you haven't.
00:04I'll find somewhere else to live.
00:05So where'd you sleep?
00:06Harry's old apartment.
00:07You're squatting.
00:08It's just one more night and I'm out of there.
00:10A couch.
00:11Can I have a copy of the delivery info?
00:13Deus?
00:15God?
00:16Kim Vipson.
00:16He killed three people.
00:17Get me out of here!
00:21His legs need proper treatment.
00:22I've postponed the transfer and I'm gonna look at greenlighting a surgery.
00:25I'm here to come through.
00:26You're always helping everyone else.
00:28When your girlfriend's threatened, how about support her?
00:30You're still the same selfish, bloody rich girl you've always been.
00:37Okay, splenectomy for you, Phil, and myomectomy for Ihaia.
00:44Give my myomectomy to Phil.
00:46You think I need charity, not what you said last night.
00:49Okay, I don't know what this is and I don't care.
00:51Just get the work done.
00:53So you're in charge for the foreseeable?
00:55Well, the last thing Boyd needs is to be dealing with work.
00:58Or whatever this is.
00:59If you need any help?
01:00Uh, we've got Howard Jenkins coming in.
01:02Oh.
01:02Okay, I know he's an old hack, but it's not for long, and between us, we'll cover Boyd's workload.
01:07Hey, how is Boyd doing?
01:09Uh, you know, day by day.
01:13Hey, look, I don't-
01:15Esther!
01:16We all set for can surgery?
01:18Um-
01:18Team sorted? Theatre booked?
01:20Not exactly.
01:22But you gave it to Greenlight. You can't backtrack.
01:24I'm not. The op can still happen, but only if it's staffed by volunteers.
01:27Oh.
01:28Why? The optics?
01:30Well, can surgery's harder.
01:33You just made it harder.
01:35You convinced me, didn't you?
01:39Wow. Operating on a violent criminal in your own downtime, for free.
01:43What an opportunity.
01:44You know, I'm sure everyone will jump at the chance.
01:49Okay, thanks, mate.
01:51Yeah, I'll let him know.
01:55That was Drew. He's been trying to call you.
01:57My phone's off.
01:59There's a couple of details that the funeral home needs you to sign off on.
02:03I thought Drew was sorting all that.
02:05Yeah, he told them you had the final word.
02:07It's good of him.
02:10Did you want to run through it now, or...
02:14When Portiki died, we just told him-
02:16Hey, what's that you've made there, buddy?
02:18It's a car for me and Remus.
02:21Let's make you a rocket, eh, mate?
02:24I like our car, see?
02:28Uh, don't run any place.
02:30Why are you grumpy?
02:31Because your brother's dead.
02:35Boys.
02:37Hey, mate, it's okay. It's a great car.
02:43Hey.
02:45You okay?
02:46Never better.
02:47You sure?
02:48Came tapsaw the other day, I...
02:51Heard you almost killed him.
02:52Mm. That's what happens if you mess with me.
02:54I'd better watch out, then.
02:57So you're okay?
02:58Sure.
02:59I mean...
03:01It was bloody scary, but it's fine.
03:04I don't let creeps like that get to me.
03:05Good for you.
03:06Thanks.
03:09I'd better get back to work.
03:11Okay, I'll catch you later.
03:15And the bad books?
03:17Why?
03:19Planning your next move?
03:20Oh, mate, you have me wrong.
03:23Oh, dear, well, bigger problems right now.
03:25I heard.
03:26You want to operate on your old mate?
03:28You interested? I need a team.
03:31You worked as a surgical nurse, right?
03:32He could have really hurt Phil.
03:34Killed her, even.
03:40Phil can handle herself.
03:41Yeah. Luckily.
03:49Oh, what a sesh.
03:52You were on fire out there today.
03:53Yeah, almost bet you.
03:55I'll get you next time.
03:56Ah, I love that fighting spirit.
03:57See, that's the Madonna I love.
04:00Hey, any luck on the flat hunt?
04:02Yeah, actually, I have some news.
04:05You've found a place already?
04:06Yeah, my own place with a sofa and everything.
04:11Well done.
04:12The way you tackle life's adversities, it's inspiring.
04:16You don't seem very happy for me.
04:18No, I am, I am.
04:20I am, most indubitably.
04:21I'm just a little sad for myself.
04:23Why?
04:24Well, I was going to ask you if you wanted to be my flatmate.
04:27You were.
04:29I wish you'd asked me earlier.
04:31I should have.
04:32I know, I just, you know, I got nervous.
04:34I'm kind of a lot, as I'm sure you've noticed.
04:37Don't think many people would be keen to live with me.
04:38Hey, don't say that.
04:39You're great then.
04:40Anyone would be lucky to live with you.
04:43You think so?
04:44Yes.
04:45I just wish I could have...
04:47Oh, no, no, no, no.
04:48Don't worry about it.
04:49You've, you've just signed a lease and I'm sure I'll find someone else who's keen to help
04:52with Charitable Tuesdays, so...
04:54Charitable Tuesdays?
04:55Yeah, that's when I help with the local soup kitchen.
05:06Would you try again?
05:07Look, I'm sorry, but after what happened with Phil...
05:11It's a tough ask, I know.
05:12But Cain's been mistreated and he's in constant pain.
05:16Didn't stop him attacking your girlfriend.
05:19He was desperate.
05:21Yeah, he made a mistake.
05:23But I want to show him there's another way.
05:25That there are people out there who care, who believe they can change.
05:28You're dreaming, mate.
05:29So what, we just pass the problem along?
05:31Just more medical professionals turning their backs on him?
05:33Sounds good to me.
05:34The buck has to stop somewhere.
05:36Not here.
05:37Stay strong.
05:39Look, none of my nurses want to do the operation.
05:42I'm sorry.
05:43Okay, but I'm not going to force anyone.
05:47Hey, at least you tried.
05:53You want to put a boot in as well?
05:56It's pain, what are we talking about?
05:58Excruciating.
05:59Injuries from old beatings left to mend on their own.
06:03On purpose?
06:04Yeah, he's been keeping it all to himself.
06:07Walking around with that pain, holding it in.
06:10How is he supposed to rehabilitate like this?
06:12Okay.
06:14Okay, what?
06:17Will you swim in?
06:18I mean, it could be good for you.
06:19Get back into the swing of it and it's not like you need to switch around any shifts or anything?
06:23Yeah, yeah, okay, I'll do it, sure.
06:27You're a legend.
06:34Maeve!
06:35Hey, honey, how's your hand?
06:37It's okay.
06:38Uh, can you show us to GP services?
06:41Cutter man needs her dressing changed.
06:42Okay, I can show you.
06:43Well, why don't I take you through to ED?
06:45Maeve.
06:46Well, you'll spend forever waiting in GP services.
06:49Whereas I could just take you through to ED now.
06:51We'll get that dressing changed in a heartbeat.
06:53What do you reckon, Cutter man?
06:54We'll wait.
06:55There's no problem.
06:56You know what the problem is.
06:58Nick, would you mind showing Cutter man where to keep the book box?
07:01Sure.
07:03Come with me, Cutter man.
07:07I thought you and Emmett had-
07:07What?
07:08We had one conversation.
07:10After years of not speaking.
07:12It's progress.
07:13I want my daughter's dressing changed.
07:15That's it.
07:16Not a family reunion.
07:17He wants to be a part of your life.
07:18What's your problem?
07:19I just...
07:21I know what it's like to be separated from a grandkid.
07:26And I also know what it's like to be stubborn as hell.
07:30Without Cutter Mae, I couldn't...
07:31She could actually have her grandfather in her life.
07:37Could you take us to GP services, please?
07:40Of course.
07:50Hey.
07:51Hey, have you seen Ihai?
07:53Nope.
07:53Still gathering his posse.
07:56I signed up.
07:57Are you even allowed?
07:59I am a nurse.
08:01Look, I'm not condoning the guy or what he did to you or anyone else, but...
08:04Everyone deserves care, right?
08:07Yeah, sure.
08:07Whatever.
08:08Fix him up and get him back out there.
08:10Well, apparently he's trying to turn his life around and I've been given a few second chances, so...
08:15Ihai picked the right guy then.
08:16Yay for him.
08:19Yeah, you heard right.
08:20No pay.
08:22Well, mate, it's for a good cause.
08:26Okay.
08:27Fine.
08:28Thanks anyways.
08:30Still rounding up the Magnificent Seven?
08:33Getting there.
08:34As long as I can find a circulating nurse and another surgeon to assist.
08:37Hmm, maybe it's a sign.
08:39Keen surgery is happening.
08:41Universe doesn't want it to happen.
08:43Since when do you give a stuff about the universe?
08:45Since it wants the same thing I do.
08:47For keen to suffer?
08:48I never said that.
08:49Then why else are you against it all?
08:52Oh, that's what I know, right?
08:53Come back to me when someone's tried to strangle you.
08:56Okay, I'm sorry.
08:57I didn't mean to...
08:59Tunnel vision.
08:59You only see what you want.
09:01I don't want to argue.
09:02And I don't want to be written off as a privileged rich girl.
09:05I could have been keen.
09:06It could never have been you.
09:08Same town.
09:09Gang tried to recruit me too.
09:11It wasn't for my mum.
09:12You made better choices.
09:14I had better options.
09:15He had none.
09:17Look, I hate what he did to you.
09:18You know that.
09:20But I want to show him that he can turn it around, okay?
09:23Look, it's not too late for him.
09:24And I need to do this.
09:26It's all a mistake of hearing about him.
09:27I want him gone.
09:28Yeah, I get it.
09:31Fine.
09:33I'll assist.
09:34Get this over and done with.
09:35So I never have to hear the name keen Tetzel again.
09:37Wait, you're...
09:38You're serious?
09:40I want this over with.
09:49Chris!
09:50Hey, thanks for cleaning up.
09:56Oh, I'm good.
09:57Thanks, though.
09:58I'm heading back in.
09:59Said I'd help out on that keen Tetzel guy's surgery.
10:02Hey, you know him?
10:03He's killed like three people.
10:05Yeah.
10:05Just feels a bit weird.
10:07I'm trying to do the right thing, but...
10:09I'm not sure this is it, though.
10:12Alright, yeah.
10:13See you later.
10:19See you later.
10:29Oh, yeah?
10:30You okay?
10:32When will it take you to find your mama?
10:34No.
10:35No?
10:36I want to see that man.
10:39What man?
10:40The one my mum says my grandad.
10:43Are you looking for your mat?
10:45Honey, would you mind if I looked at your hand for a second?
10:49Okay, well, I think I need to take you to find your mum.
10:53No.
10:55No?
10:56I want to see my grandad.
10:58Will you take me to him?
11:01Okay.
11:03Come on.
11:04Let's go.
11:10What made you change your mind?
11:12Yeah, I needed me.
11:13You doing this for him?
11:14Yeah, I'm doing it for my boyfriend.
11:16You're just doing it for a convicted killer.
11:19Hey, guys.
11:20Good news.
11:21We've got a full team.
11:22Good to go.
11:23Great.
11:24You ready for this?
11:25Ready as I'll ever be.
11:27Hey, thanks, bro.
11:28How are you?
11:29Let's go.
11:35Cain, you remember Phil?
11:38Let's take another shot.
11:39Keep your hands off me and we'll be sweet.
11:41And this is Vili.
11:43What's this?
11:44Dance crew.
11:46Your surgical team.
11:47Yeah, right.
11:49You've been no by mouth since noon,
11:51which means we can do you later tonight.
11:53For real?
11:54That's when I lunch?
11:56Yep.
11:58It's a catch.
11:59No catch.
12:01Just make sure when I wake up I'm a changed man.
12:04That's up to you, bro.
12:05No chance.
12:07Phil.
12:08He'll never change.
12:09Everyone can change.
12:10We could make a bet.
12:11A hundred bucks.
12:12Easy money.
12:13Not helping.
12:15She's going on me.
12:18She knows she's right.
12:26Slow down, Kadamir.
12:27Hey, you.
12:29What's going on?
12:30Where's Bonnie?
12:31Actually, Kadamir was looking for you.
12:33Are you my granddad?
12:37Yeah.
12:39Yes, I am.
12:40I always want to meet my granddad.
12:43I'm really glad to meet you, too.
12:45Honey, can you show your granddad your hand?
12:48Let's have a look, eh?
12:51Ouch.
12:54That doesn't look good, does it?
12:58Let's get you up on one of these beds,
13:00and we'll get you sorted out, eh?
13:01Is there something bad?
13:02Nothing your granddad can't fix.
13:07I mean, this is my penance for lying.
13:09If I'd just told the truth,
13:10I could have been moving in with Thaddeus.
13:12But then you'd mess with a flash
13:13because the furniture's coming to your house tonight.
13:14Yeah, but it's not my place, Sage.
13:16I need to find a flat now.
13:18But you don't really want to live with Thaddeus, do you?
13:20Why? What's wrong with him?
13:21He's a single, straight man.
13:22He'll have one knife and one fork and one bath
13:24that's never been cleaned.
13:27Oh my God, it's Chris.
13:29What's he doing?
13:30The great Sasquatch has come down off the mountain.
13:32Watch how he lumbers among with the mere mortals.
13:38Chris.
13:42You know he's here, right?
13:45Ehai's operating on him today.
13:48Only the best for New Zealand's worst, right?
13:54Good chap.
14:00There we go.
14:01Good as new.
14:02No making mud pies with this hand, eh?
14:04Okay.
14:05Got him, yeah.
14:08Why did I know that you'd be at the bottom of all this?
14:11That poor woman has been worried sick.
14:13Yeah, I was going to bring her back, connect to her hand.
14:15But what?
14:16You knew best, as per usual.
14:21Her hand was very badly infected.
14:23Was it?
14:24Must have been like that for days.
14:26It's lucky May spotted her when she did.
14:28I have been looking after her.
14:29Of course, but signs of infection can be difficult to spot
14:32if you don't know what you're looking for.
14:34It's an easy thing to miss, right Emmett?
14:38Yeah, easy mistake.
14:40Easy mistake?
14:41Well, maybe you could show me what to look for,
14:43in case it happens again.
14:45Alright.
14:46If you agree to it, we'd like to send her home
14:48with a course of antibiotics to avoid it getting worse.
14:51Can I show Grandad my new toy?
14:53Grandad, is it?
14:56Yeah, of course.
14:57Just no more running off, okay?
14:59Okay.
15:01Thank you for looking after her.
15:03It was all Emmett.
15:04What's their name?
15:05Busy Bee.
15:07Well, thank you.
15:10Anytime.
15:17Everything okay?
15:18You know this old guy?
15:19Yeah, what are you doing here, Chris?
15:21He won't stop going at me.
15:22Just tell me why you killed them.
15:24Maybe just back off.
15:26Do you regret it?
15:27What?
15:28Do you regret killing those people?
15:31What do you think?
15:34My son, he killed people.
15:40How many?
15:42Two.
15:43Take off the end, did he?
15:46No.
15:48So you're a good dad, huh?
15:51Always there for him.
15:52Always made the time for him.
15:56You still love him?
15:59Still what he's done?
16:02Where is he?
16:11You reckon he's still out for messed up killers like me?
16:18What do you reckon?
16:27How you going now, mate?
16:29I'm okay.
16:31Not really up for conversation.
16:33Understood.
16:35But if I could just say one thing.
16:38I'm sorry.
16:41I know nothing can ever prepare you for this kind of pain.
16:45Even now sometimes I worry if I think about it too much
16:49all the anger and the darkness will take over and I won't be able to carry on.
16:53Does it?
16:55Sorry?
16:57Does it take over?
16:59The darkness?
17:01It can.
17:03It can be hard to stop it.
17:05Focusing on what I still have, that is what got me through.
17:09And mate, you still have kids who love you.
17:16Hey, Rummy.
17:19Really sorry about before, okay?
17:22Just really missing Remus.
17:25I miss him too.
17:27I know you do, buddy.
17:31Daddy's not gonna be mean to you again, okay?
17:33You need to stick together now, yeah?
17:35Hey, do you wanna build me another one of those cool cars?
17:38And I'll make us a hot chocolate, yeah?
17:41Yeah.
17:46Listen, mate, I don't know what happened between you and Drew,
17:48but I do know that he loves you, boy.
17:50He would do anything for you.
17:52You know that, right?
17:54Right.
18:04You sure you wanna do this?
18:06Of course.
18:07No, he's showed no remorse, no sign he'll commit to rehabilitation.
18:11This is not a trade-off.
18:13Then why are you doing it?
18:15Because it's the right thing to do.
18:17Okay, let's get it done then.
18:20Guys, I can't thank you enough for donating your time.
18:24I really appreciate it.
18:26And hopefully, it'll be life-changing for Cain.
18:30How is our patient looking?
18:33Okay, I'll commence with the left leg.
18:36Scalpel, please, Willi.
18:39Willi? Scalpel?
18:47This is gonna be amazing for Cain,
18:49living with all this pain for so long.
18:51Great.
18:52Get him back on his feet, stronger than ever.
18:56Willi, you all right?
18:58I shouldn't be here.
19:00What?
19:01He doesn't care about what he's done.
19:03Yes, he does.
19:04I hurt him.
19:05He doesn't.
19:06He doesn't deserve a second chance.
19:08Willi.
19:09I don't wanna help him get back out there to hurt more people.
19:12Sorry to let you down, but I can't be a part of this.
19:15Willi.
19:16Willi.
19:17Willi.
19:18Willi.
19:19Willi.
19:20Willi.
19:21Willi.
19:22Willi.
19:23Willi.
19:24Willi.
19:25Willi.
19:26Willi.
19:32Willi's not coming back.
19:33We can't proceed.
19:34Do we even need a scrub nurse, though?
19:36Of course we do.
19:37No.
19:38You and I can do it.
19:39We don't need a nurse.
19:40You think?
19:41I'm trying to solve the problem here.
19:43Well, it's against protocol.
19:44I know that.
19:45If we don't do this now, then when?
19:48Well, that's a separate issue.
19:49This is about patient safety.
19:50This might be Cain's only chance to get this done.
19:52I can't let him down.
19:53Well, you can't operate like this, either.
19:55I need to think.
19:56Look, I know this is important to you,
19:58but we can't do this right now.
20:00I won't risk my career, and I won't let you risk yours.
20:02But I promise you, I'll help you get a team together
20:04when we can get back in here.
20:05Okay.
20:06Thanks.
20:07Makes sense.
20:08Sorry, babe.
20:12Chris, what are you doing here?
20:14I'm here to assist you.
20:16I'm qualified.
20:18Are we doing this?
20:23What on earth?
20:25How did you get in here?
20:42Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
20:53Come on.
20:59Today is the day.
21:05Can you build a slide onto this?
21:07A slide?
21:08Cool.
21:23Just leave a message, and I'll get back to you.
21:54That's better.
21:57I've never tried this trick before,
21:59so allow me to take a stab at it.
22:09Madonna?
22:11Ow.
22:13Hymen retractor and bone reduction forceps, please.
22:17You'd be better with Vibroic forceps.
22:19Yeah?
22:21See the damage?
22:22There.
22:23Yeah, Vibroic it is.
22:24That's one ugly malunion fracture right there.
22:27You're right, excruciatingly painful.
22:29Yep.
22:30Maybe he put up with it out of guilt.
22:32Thought he deserved to suffer, so endured.
22:34Pretty much.
22:35We're going to put an end to that now.
22:37What's going on?
22:38VP's dropping.
22:39He's not bleeding.
22:40Cardiac arrest.
22:41Star CPR.
22:43Why did he arrest?
22:44I don't know.
22:45Come on.
22:50Do you feel breathy?
22:51Clear.
22:53VF.
22:56Come on, gang.
22:57Three for us, man.
22:59Come on.
23:00Compressions won't help.
23:01We can't give up on him.
23:03He needs an aortic dissection.
23:05What?
23:06His skin.
23:07I can repair it if we move quickly.
23:09Okay.
23:10What do we need?
23:13Chris.
23:15Chris.
