00:01Previously on Shortland Street
00:03I've been approved for assisted dying.
00:06I might not have much time left to make the decision.
00:10Now is not the time.
00:12I can't imagine her being gone.
00:14There's a big possibility that she doesn't have any good days left.
00:17But she might.
00:20It's not gonna work. She's stuck.
00:22We need to think of something else.
00:23I can't cut her arm off.
00:25Okay, I'll do it.
00:26I'll be done.
00:31Papa, please don't cry.
00:33I've survived.
00:34Do a vitiotomy.
00:35A what?
00:36Do a neonatate.
00:37Do a vitiotomy.
00:39With a knife?
00:44I could do it.
00:45Split it open.
00:46But she could bleed out.
00:47Yeah, and then if it doesn't work, she's still stuck here.
00:49If it doesn't work, then just leave, okay?
00:51It's that or nothing.
00:54Drew, come on, let's go.
00:55There is no way in hell I am leaving you.
00:57Yeah, babe, we're not leaving you.
00:59We're not leaving you.
01:00Forget about that.
01:01Ehi, you have to assist.
01:03Okay, um, I'll grab the tourniquet.
01:09Okay.
01:11What do you think?
01:13Yeah?
01:14Do it.
01:17This is gonna be worse than any pain you've ever felt before.
01:20I know.
01:21You were so brave.
01:22You're the bravest woman that I've ever met.
01:24You're talking too much, all of you.
01:25Okay, once I've made the incision, we're gonna have a window of about two seconds to get this beam up, okay?
01:30You won't be able to hold it any longer than that.
01:32I know.
01:33I would say take it easy with that shoulder.
01:35I don't care about my bloody shoulder, Drew.
01:36The sooner we get Phil out, the sooner we can get both you to ED.
01:40Phil.
01:41Do it.
01:42You're talking, it's making it worse.
01:43Yeah, I get that, but I just want to make sure you've got your head in the right place.
01:46Do it, fast.
01:47You need to take your thoughts somewhere else, Phil.
01:50Somewhere happy.
01:52Okay.
01:53You can bite down on this.
01:55Okay.
01:58No!
02:06Hold it now!
02:08Hold it!
02:09Hold it!
02:10Hold it!
02:11Hold it!
02:12Hold it!
02:13Come on!
02:14Come on!
02:15Hold it!
02:16Hold it!
02:17Hold it!
02:18Hold it!
02:19Hold it!
02:21Martha!
02:22Hurry up!
02:32Hey.
02:33Hey.
02:38I've been thinking about what you said about Mum not having another good day.
02:44I know it's hard to hear.
02:46And hard to think about.
02:48But I've decided I'm going to need to respect her wishes.
02:53Even if I have to say goodbye before I want to.
02:58If it's what she wants.
03:01You're a really good daughter, Nick.
03:12Phil, I'll be right here.
03:14It's all over.
03:16She can't believe you guys are in the middle of a war.
03:18Tell me everything.
03:21Well, if she needs surgery immediately, I'll perform a fasciotomy to free her arm that got stuck in the room.
03:26Collapse on us.
03:27No anaesthesia.
03:29Okay.
03:30We'll take her straight through and I'll operate on her myself.
03:32Thank you, Esther.
03:34Well, for you guys, get yourselves into a cubicle.
03:36Fluids, bloods, all of that.
03:42Where are you going?
03:43Where are you going?
03:44Well, I got fired.
03:45What?
03:46Yeah.
03:47How can they do that?
03:48Well, I messed up.
03:49I lied to Selena that Esther okayed the slamming response.
03:52And I didn't look her back when I had the chance.
03:54I really thought I was doing the right thing.
03:56Do you still think that?
03:57I've just been fired.
03:58I don't feel any worse about it.
04:00Look, Selena just needs some time to calm down.
04:02I'll see if I can talk to her.
04:03Thanks, but I don't think that'll help.
04:05You don't think I can be persuasive?
04:07Your decision may have been a big one.
04:09Or the wrong one, in this specific context.
04:12But it came from the right place.
04:14Look, you're willing to go out of your way for others.
04:16We don't have enough nurses or people like that.
04:18Not just here, but anywhere.
04:20As far as I'm concerned, that's your biggest strength.
04:23Maybe I can get that in writing.
04:24Best be working on my CV.
04:31I can't believe she was able to think of it.
04:33Fasciotomy.
04:35To think that fast when you're pinned down like that.
04:39It's miracle.
04:42You're taking a long time.
04:44Yeah, well, we did the home jobs.
04:46It'll be a lot to clean up.
04:48You're a lot calmer now.
04:51We're not all facing the possibility of imminent death.
04:55Hmm.
05:03You okay?
05:05No, you?
05:07Better now, yeah.
05:09He hates me.
05:10He doesn't hate you.
05:12He's just traumatised.
05:15Thank God Phil thought of an alternative.
05:17Your option really could have been the only one.
05:19Yeah, well, it wasn't.
05:21He's probably just still in shock.
05:23We'll all recover.
05:25Even Phil.
05:28I'm just so glad she's okay.
05:31Well, I'm so grateful.
05:37You're everything.
05:39Likewise, we don't know what I'm doing.
05:42Hey.
05:44Love you too.
05:47Alright, you comfy?
05:50I don't know about the temperature in here.
05:52I'll ask.
05:53But if you get cold, you just let me know, yeah?
06:05Okay.
06:09So.
06:13I'm never going to be ready to let you go.
06:18But it's your decision.
06:21Yeah, just whatever you want.
06:27If you want to go early.
06:32Or if you want assistance.
06:40What?
06:44Let me.
06:48When the time is right.
06:51I will make sure that you get whatever you want.
07:06Also, you got packaged, by the way.
07:08I was holding on too much, so I couldn't bring it in.
07:10A package for me? You didn't touch it?
07:12No.
07:13You didn't even look at it?
07:15Well, I saw it, that's why I'm telling you.
07:17That's so strange, because normally I get notifications when things have been delivered.
07:19Is it valuable?
07:20No, no, no, nothing important.
07:22That's fantastic, thank you.
07:23I'll just, I'll go grab it.
07:24I'll go grab it right now.
07:26Did you check with Selina if she wanted some food kept for her?
07:29If you could do her the courtesy, that'd be great.
07:31Sorry.
07:37Are you okay?
07:40It's not there.
07:41Your package.
07:42I've just checked the delivery status.
07:45No notification, but it's definitely been delivered.
07:48Oh, not to worry.
07:50Okay, I was just trying to help.
07:52Thank you.
07:53I will go and have another look around.
07:55Maybe it fell down the side.
08:02How did we even make it out?
08:06I can't believe any of us are even alive.
08:10I'm just so glad you're okay.
08:12Thank you, all of you, for staying and saving me, or leaving me.
08:17Well, don't be too quick to thank me.
08:22Well, I'm glad I got to help you.
08:28Well, glad I got to keep my arm.
08:32The first year, it was a group effort.
08:34The house could have come down any second, and then we all...
08:37But it didn't.
08:38Are you okay?
08:39We're all okay.
08:41That batch, though.
08:42One star review from me.
08:43Went down like a Jenga tower.
08:45Yeah, the first aid kit could have been a bit more stocked.
08:48Yeah.
08:49Would not stay again.
08:51I mean, I like to think I'm not fussy, but what can I say?
08:54I like a floor and a roof.
08:55Jeez, princess.
08:57Um, I need to get going.
08:59I'm going to go see how Nick's doing.
09:01Phone call soon.
09:20Hi, mate.
09:22Oh, you poor thing.
09:24Don't worry about us. How are you holding up?
09:26Yeah, fine.
09:28But you guys, I mean, that was a lot.
09:30Yeah.
09:31This fella okay?
09:33She will be.
09:36Oh, honey.
09:39Just waiting for her to wake up again.
09:42Babe?
09:43She'd like to see you.
09:47Nick?
09:50I think she's gone.
09:53No, she'll wake up again.
10:05Working together, living together.
10:07Come on.
10:09I'm quite sure I don't know what you mean, Martin.
10:12Martin?
10:13That's like that, is it?
10:14Yes.
10:15Yeah, I think you'll find that it is.
10:17Madonna.
10:18Hey, you coming with us?
10:20Uh, no.
10:21I'll see you both there.
10:23Not if we see you first.
10:25I mean, you know, you will still see us, of course.
10:29I'm looking forward to it.
10:30Did your package show up?
10:32No, nothing yet.
10:33I contacted the parcel company.
10:34They said there is a possibility that one of the neighbours might have taken it.
10:37So I'll ask around, but I don't want to bother the Miller-Mullinses.
10:40Miller-Mullinses.
10:42Try saying that five times fast.
10:44Well, I hope it shows up.
10:46Thank you.
10:49Fascinating.
10:51Yeah, parcel theft.
10:52It's on the rise, apparently.
10:54You know, that's not what I'm talking about.
10:55Well, that's part of the problem, Marty.
10:57You know, people are stealing, and no one has the courage to stand up and say...
11:00What is going on with you and Madonna?
11:02I won't say anything, I promise.
11:08Okay, fine.
11:09I will tell you, but you can't tell a soul.
11:11Not a single soul.
11:13You have the solemn oath of Martin.
11:15Thank you.
11:16That means a lot.
11:18Um...
11:22Well, uh...
11:24I am reading a new series of books,
11:27primarily as inspiration for my own.
11:29Of course.
11:30And, you know, I have to see what's out there, assess the competition, my contemporaries.
11:33I get it.
11:34Now, these particular books, they're not exactly like mine.
11:37What's the problem?
11:38Well, I don't want Madonna to find them.
11:39I don't want her to get put off.
11:41What's in them?
11:42What could possibly be so disturbing that...
11:44They're racy, okay?
11:45They are pacey, and they are racy.
11:47And I know that my own work is passionate and romantic,
11:50but these have a level of spice that I could only aspire to.
11:54They are very well written.
11:56They are very hard to get one's hands on,
11:57and once you pick them up, they are very, very, very hard to put down.
12:00I just...
12:01I don't want her thinking badly of me.
12:03I get it.
12:04It's private.
12:05I won't say a word.
12:07Thank you.
12:08Martin.
12:10Thank you, Martin.
12:13I had a hunch, so I sent him to get a CT, and boom!
12:17He had a huge cyst in his liver.
12:20Just like I thought.
12:24Phil?
12:26Sorry.
12:28You all right?
12:30Yeah.
12:31I guess I'm just still processing what happened.
12:34I know it's been a while,
12:36but we're okay.
12:38You're okay.
12:40No thanks to Hapa.
12:43She was going to cut off your arm.
12:45You were going to do it?
12:47I would never have done that.
12:49And I didn't.
12:51It was a stressful situation, okay?
12:55We work in stressful situations all the time.
12:58Hapa works in ED.
13:00She's super intense with you.
13:02I don't know why.
13:04She's just an intense person.
13:07Who she is, I don't know what more I can say.
13:12Hapa's our friend, okay?
13:18You look tired.
13:30Selina?
13:31Sage, now's not a good time.
13:33I actually have a job to do.
13:35I'll be quick.
13:36I'm sorry, Selina, for lying.
13:39Where is Henderson?
13:41I know it was a bad call,
13:42but I was working from a place of urgency.
13:44We always talk about needing to act quickly as nurses.
13:46Well, maybe you should take your own advice then.
13:48Of course.
13:49And I'm not telling you anything you don't already know.
13:51It was just...
13:52Sometimes we have to go on instinct.
13:54Those moments all went by so fast,
13:55and during those moments,
13:56all I could think about was doing right by my patients.
13:58That was more important to me than anything else.
14:02I think what I'm trying to say is that
14:04it's all I was thinking about, and...
14:06Was lying to me the right thing to do?
14:09No, it absolutely was not.
14:11Good.
14:12Glad you agree.
14:14So...
14:19So I'm glad you learned something
14:21from your hospital-wide time-wasting.
14:25And...
14:27And nothing.
14:28Okay, I'd better get on.
14:30Turns out I am a bit behind on things.
14:33Oh.
14:34Henderson, there you go.
14:38So she's no longer being fevered and hasn't woken up since...?
14:41Not since yesterday.
14:44And Nick? How's she doing?
14:47Oh.
14:49I'll see you soon, okay?
14:57Hey.
14:58Hey.
14:59You okay?
15:00Yeah.
15:01Just been waiting for you to wake up.
15:04It's okay, ma'am.
15:06I'll check her pulse.
15:08She's been doing this. It's horrible.
15:14Honey, her pulse is...
15:15Yeah, I know.
15:17And I know if she doesn't wake up,
15:19then we're gonna have to give her the drugs that keep her asleep
15:21and to dry out her fluid, but she was...
15:24She was just awake.
15:26She's gonna wake up again.
15:28When, Nick?
15:30She's gonna wake up again.
15:34I can see it.
15:39Okay.
15:45Essa.
15:46Nada.
15:48Denny's orbs are looking stable
15:50and he's not showing any signs of acute rejection.
15:52You're saying we actually pulled this off?
15:54At this stage, yes. That seems like it.
15:57Oh, and being in the op, the quake, the power cut,
16:00it just felt...
16:01Doomed.
16:02Well, I never thought we'd be out here.
16:04On the other side, thank you for that great news.
16:07Pleasure.
16:09Perhaps.
16:10Uh, sorry.
16:11There's just one more thing.
16:13Sure.
16:14I'm sure you're aware Sage has been fired.
16:17I am, and that is Selena's decision.
16:20I support her.
16:21I understand that, and I don't want to step on Selena's toes,
16:24but Shortland Street needs nurses that care as much as Sage.
16:28And I know he made a terrible mistake,
16:30and I'm not saying that he'd be, like, completely off the hook,
16:33but if there's another avenue to take,
16:35with disciplining him, that doesn't mean the hospital loses out.
16:38I think it's worth considering.
16:49Ma'am.
16:52I love you.
16:54Ma'am.
16:59Wake up.
17:02Ma'am?
17:04Wake up.
17:07Please.
17:14Wake up.
17:22What are you doing?
17:24I have a genius plan.
17:26Okay.
17:28I googled it.
17:30How to catch a package thief.
17:32Well, actually, first I googled how to catch a thief,
17:34and then I ended up at the bottom of a Hitchcock hole,
17:36but we should watch that film if you're interested.
17:38How to Catch a Thief, or just Psycho.
17:39Classics.
17:40Anyway, I digress.
17:42I amended my search,
17:43and my research has led me to develop a foolproof stratagem.
17:46Right.
17:48You're really taking this seriously.
17:50I mean, how many packages have gone missing?
17:52Well, that's not really the point.
17:55Okay, it's only two, but it's still rather frustrating.
17:58Okay.
18:00What's your plan?
18:01It's quite simple, really.
18:02I set up a parcel outside,
18:04and then when the package thief tries to open it,
18:06an explosive surprise awaits them.
18:09That sounds dangerous.
18:11You sure you're not taking this a little too far?
18:13Well, our package thief obviously has a taste for the juicy contents,
18:16and that's going to get them into trouble.
18:17Juicy?
18:18Uh, not juicy, per se.
18:21No, that's fine.
18:23It's none of my business.
18:24I just hope you catch the culprit without incriminating yourself.
18:29Thank you.
18:41Look, I know you have your own instincts to follow,
18:43but I need you to trust my judgment, too.
18:46Obviously, yes, I do.
18:48I mean it, Sage.
18:49I know, and I will.
18:51And I think you should be grateful that a kind word came from above when it did.
18:54Above? Like, from God?
18:56Oh, my...
18:58Sage, don't waste my time, okay?
18:59You need to get back to work.
19:01Thank you so, so, so much.
19:03Don't make me regret this, okay?
19:07You need me somewhere? Walk with me?
19:12Naz, I'm clocking in. It's all okay.
19:15Where do you belong?
19:16Did you talk to someone?
19:17Me? No. Not my style.
19:30Can I come in?
19:31Of course.
19:34How are you doing?
19:35Better.
19:37That's good.
19:39Um, I just wanted to apologize.
19:42For what?
19:44For losing my cool.
19:45Stop.
19:47Almost amputating your arm.
19:49Harper, we all lost our cool.
19:53It was the worst situation I've ever been in.
19:56It would have been pretty weird if we were all normal.
19:58Yeah, I know, but um...
20:00Yeah, Harper, you stayed with me.
20:02You risked your life to do so.
20:04So did Rudy. I...
20:07Look, I'm not gonna lie.
20:10It was a group effort, but...
20:13I wouldn't have got through it without you.
20:16I wouldn't have been able to cope.
20:19I made it worse, though. I panicked.
20:21It's okay.
20:22Look, you're not hearing me.
20:24I don't panic.
20:29The truth is...
20:31I couldn't handle the thought that I might lose you.
20:37It was fairly insane.
20:39I was just only thinking about you and...
20:42What if we could never be together again?
20:50So what do we do?
20:52I don't know.
21:00I can't believe this. She's not gonna wake up.
21:06Look, I can't get my head around it.
21:09She's right here. She's just asleep.
21:17Okay, um...
21:20Um, Rudy...
21:23It was time.
21:26For what?
21:29Assisted dying.
21:31You know, that's what she wanted.
21:34It's time.
21:39Unfortunately...
21:41We can't.
21:45What do you mean?
21:47It's what she wanted.
21:50We have to.
21:54What?
21:55We can't do it, Nick.
21:58What do you mean?
22:01We have to honour her wishes.
22:04Even though we might not like it.
22:07Yeah, it's what she wanted. We have to do it.
22:09Not anymore.
22:11It's not your call to make, honey. It's Leanne's.
22:16But she's not able to.
22:18But she said it.
22:20You know that she did.
22:23I'm sorry, Nick.
22:28Oh, my God.
22:31I should have let her yesterday, and I didn't let her.
22:36You didn't know.
22:39Right, so, um...
22:42So, um, now we just have to wait and, um...
22:47And give her that awful medication to dry her out.
22:52I'm sorry, Nicole.
22:55I'm sorry, Nicole.
23:00We just wait for her to die like this.
23:15Mum, I'm so sorry.
23:17I should have listened to you.
23:19I let you down.
23:22We need to give Mum the death that she deserves.
23:25It's illegal.
23:26Whatever. I'll do it.
23:27You can't.
23:29I know, honey. You just want her to be at peace.
23:33I just want everything to be cool between us.
23:35I deserve better than her.
23:37He's using you. Why can't you see that?
