00:00Previously on Shortland Street
00:02What technique are you planning?
00:03I would have gone with the chemistry or plastic myself
00:05Boyd's only surviving son is about to have heart surgery and you're scoring points?
00:08Maybe if you're actually there for Boyd, there might be a friendship for salvage
00:11It's all I've got left
00:12I can't lose it, I can't
00:14You cut out everyone who cares about you!
00:16That is not true
00:17Then why are you alone?
00:18Now I'm starting to think that there is something wrong with me
00:20Maybe this thing with Nazar isn't meant to be, but that doesn't mean you don't deserve someone who'll give you everything you want
00:25Hello
00:26Oh my gosh
00:31Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god!
00:33Mon, Mon, it's okay
00:34No it is not! What the hell was I thinking?
00:36You weren't thinking, you were just...
00:37No, clearly not! Clearly, Marty!
00:39Esther, fire me!
00:40No she's not, okay? You were upset and you just got carried away
00:44It was a mistake
00:45My career is over
00:47No it's not, okay? It was just a mistake
00:49A mistake, Marty? A mistake is when you file a document wrong
00:52I just kissed my boss's husband!
00:56Look, Esther might be a bit upset, but Mon, she's not going to fire you
01:00No, yeah, you're right
01:01You see, there you go
01:02Because you're not going to tell her
01:03What?
01:04Marty, you cannot tell her
01:06Mon, I have to tell her, she's my wife
01:08Marty, there is nothing to tell, right?
01:10I was just crying to you about Nazar and I hardly kissed you, okay?
01:14Nothing happened
01:15Mon
01:16This is my whole career we are talking about
01:18Promise me you won't tell her
01:20Mon, she will understand
01:22Promise me
01:25I promise
01:31He's not rushing, that's good
01:34It's an hour over schedule already
01:37An ill place is always complicated
01:39Yeah, I know that
01:41And you would have chosen the alternative
01:49There's got to be some problem that Nazar isn't telling us
01:51Just keep the faith
01:52This is a tip talk, okay?
02:02Where are you going?
02:03Just giving you some space
02:05Why?
02:07I really don't feel like I'm helping
02:10It's easier when you're here
02:14Sure
02:16Stay
02:18It's okay
02:22Okay
02:33What are you still doing here? I thought you'd left for the day
02:35Well, these rosters won't do themselves
02:37Well, funny thing, sometimes I leave them out and the Rosterfury does them for me
02:41Yeah, sorry, I just, I have to get this stuff done
02:47What?
02:48I know what you're doing
02:49What? I'm doing the rosters
02:51You're hiding
02:52Well, no dice lady, you can't hide from me
02:54I'm not, I just, I'm just really bad company right now
02:59Oh, that's cool
03:00I'll do all the talking
03:01What's new?
03:02Oh, the shade, there she is
03:05Oh my
03:06Yeah, I didn't say you weren't
03:09The panic attack yesterday, that was, that's, it was nothing
03:13Okay
03:14Okay
03:15I believe you
03:17You'd be the only one
03:19Come on, a coffee, a chat, what could be better than that?
03:24Mummy
03:25Oh, Nick
03:26Okay, I'm sorry, you don't, but I can't take one more person apologising for something that wasn't their fault
03:32Just
03:33Yeah
03:35See, bad company
03:37One coffee, come on, I'm not going to take no for an answer
03:43Fine, I guess I'll get you off my back
03:46I can't, Mum, after everything I put her through when I was using, I can't lie to her again
03:51You don't have to lie, just don't say anything
03:53You know, that's the same thing
03:55Fine
03:56Fine?
03:57Yeah, but you've got to tell her the whole truth
03:59What do you mean?
04:00You love that you still have a hold on me
04:02What?
04:03Come on, Marty, admit it
04:05You love that when you're playing happy families with Esther, I'm here holding some stupid little candle for you
04:10Mum
04:11What do you want from me, Marty?
04:12For me to just wait around, just in case you and Esther don't work out?
04:15No, no, but
04:17But, but what?
04:19Okay, sure, I guess there's some part of me that likes that I'm something to you, I think, I don't know
04:29Case closed
04:30Yeah, but that doesn't mean, Mum, I still want the best for you, I still want you and Nast
04:34No, no, no, no, just stop it, Marty
04:36Look, you can tell Esther what happened if that's what you want to do, but you better tell her about this too
04:45Okay
04:58Is that my phone?
04:59Feds
05:01Who was that?
05:02Sorry, what?
05:03I know you're looking, is it flu?
05:05I'm not a snoop
05:08Does baby knock you out of the bath yet?
05:10Almost
05:13Sorry
05:14No, no, you're right
05:15No, no, this is your bed, so rude of me
05:17It's okay, I'm not lights out just yet, still have a few things to do
05:21Working on your novel?
05:25Maybe later
05:27Your phone's been going off hard out
05:31Oh, it's Fleur
05:32What's she up to?
05:35She's offered me a bed for a few nights
05:36That is so kind of her, isn't it, Madonna?
05:39Yeah, I'm okay here
05:40Really?
05:41Yes, indeedy
05:44Hey, I'd love to cook Fleur dinner sometime
05:46Well, for the both of you, everyone
05:52I don't think so
05:54Okay
05:55We have a full house with little Noxy and Cassie
05:58Sure
06:01Hey, so, um, what do you think of this?
06:09Oh, a GPS speedometer pro for cyclists on the move
06:12Do you like it?
06:13Yeah, these are pretty good
06:15Then it's for you
06:16For me?
06:17It's a gift, surprise
06:20I already have a speedometer
06:22I know, but this is a big upgrade, pinpoint accuracy plus night mode
06:29But you don't want it, silly me
06:31You keep it, or get a refund
06:34Hey, is that bottle ready?
06:36Yeah
06:43He's still grumpy with me
06:46You think?
06:47How long is it going to take?
06:49Um, what did you actually do?
06:51Oh, that's right, you called his girlfriend a gold digger
06:53How can I atone?
06:55Well, that GPS gizmo ain't going to cut it
06:57Then what?
06:59Maybe just give him some space
07:01Space?
07:02Yeah, and stop being a try-hard
07:04I say that with love
07:06What?
07:12Naz did an excellent job, I knew he would
07:15And you were right
07:19What was I worried about this time?
07:20Me pulling my head in, focusing on what's really important
07:24Which is?
07:25Always being there, loyal, faithful
07:29It's what Boyd needs right now, a true friend
07:34You might need some more time, Drew, especially with what he's going through
07:38Drew?
07:39Naz
07:40Hey
07:41Well done, mate
07:42I was satisfied with the results
07:44The ECG will tell us more
07:45I'm keen to follow the progress
07:50Professional, I like it
07:53Well, I'm nothing if not
07:54If not a pro, I know
07:55You know me so well
07:57But get this
07:59When Boyd was watching his precious son there on the table
08:03He didn't just let me stay with him
08:06He asked me to
08:08Right by his side
08:11Just don't force it, babe
08:23Hey, any issues with yesterday's budget?
08:25No, actually there's a few things I could be interested in
08:27Great, take it up with Esther
08:28All right
08:29Monique, I was
08:30Yesterday you were saying something about your mother
08:32Was I?
08:33My head was on Romulus' surgery
08:34I wasn't in the headspace to be thinking about anything else
08:36That was clear, wasn't it?
08:37But I'd love to hear what you had to say
08:38You know what? You were right
08:40About what?
08:41Yesterday, when you said you don't have time to play games
08:43I shouldn't have said that
08:44Let's just draw a line in the sand, shall we?
08:47What's in the past is in the past
08:48We're over, just colleagues, nothing more
08:51Is that what you want?
08:52Yes
08:53All right
08:59So, do we need to call in any agency nurses?
09:02I think we're OK, touch wood
09:05Great
09:06Well, Selina is on hand if you need her
09:09So make use of her
09:11OK
09:12And let me know if there's anything I can do for you
09:15I will do, thank you
09:19You left early?
09:21Yeah, lots to do
09:25Esther's being weird
09:27Oh
09:28I don't know, just extra check-ins
09:31And pretty much ordering me to delegate to Selina
09:36Ordering you?
09:37Yeah, that's what it felt like
09:40I had a talk with her
09:41What exactly did you say?
09:43Just that we all need to support you
09:45Why? Can you just not make me out to be unstable?
09:48I'm not
09:49You are, OK, so just stop, just leave me alone
09:51Honey, I want to help you
09:53But you won't let me
09:54You're being pushy
09:56I want to get over it, and I can't
09:59OK, fine, I will back off and give you some space
10:03Good, thank you
10:17You're doing great, Rami
10:19Dr Arshad's really pleased with your progress
10:22Recovery time?
10:24It'll be at least four weeks before you're back on the trampoline
10:26He's not going anywhere near one of those
10:28Probably wise
10:30Back soon, honey
10:37About his anxiety
10:39PTSD is still a possibility
10:41We'll keep a close eye on it, but we'll have to wait and see
10:46Hey, buddy
10:48Hey, Rami
10:50Looking good, my man
10:52Obstacle in the normal range, yeah
10:54That's right
10:55How's his ECG?
10:56Normal
10:57Brilliant, got it across the line
10:59Well, that was never in doubt
11:01Of course not
11:02Nearly gave old freckles here in aneurysm, though
11:04I do
11:05Second guessing your every move
11:06What are you doing?
11:07I'm just looking out for my mate
11:09Why'd you opt for disposable scalpels, though?
11:11That kind of slowed you down
11:12Drew!
11:13We're all surgeons
11:14You would have been thinking the same thing
11:16OK, that's enough
11:17What?
11:18You're taking over
11:19I'm trying to help
11:20Well, you're getting in the way, again
11:22By asking questions
11:23By undermining Naz's care
11:24It's alright, boy
11:25Being an arrogant prick, frankly
11:27How am I being arrogant?
11:28It's your default setting
11:30And if you don't mind
11:32I'd like to keep talking to Naz privately
11:44I might hold again
11:45Good chance?
11:46It's Wagner, it's not exactly putting me at ease
11:49What's the problem?
11:50Bike fail
11:52Chain keeps slipping
11:54Hello? Yes
11:57No, I'm afraid I can't
12:01Really?
12:04Alright, well, I'll see you Saturday, then
12:08What do you call a cyclist with no bike?
12:11I don't know, what?
12:12A bus rider
12:16It's not a joke, Madonna
12:17It's the truth
12:19Oh, right
12:21Well, I'd better get to it
12:23Have a good day
12:24I will try
12:28He is not happy
12:31That's all I want, for him to be happy
12:34I mean, I offended him and I want to make things right
12:37But I have to give him space, apparently
12:40What did you do?
12:41I don't want to talk about it
12:42Come on, I can't help it if I don't know
12:44I don't know
12:47Well, I guess you have to learn how to fix things on your own, then
12:51What, you're seriously not going to tell me?
12:53No, but thank you, Sage
12:55For what, you hold out?
12:57I've figured out how to fix things
13:00Well, I'm happy for you
13:03I guess I actually kind of am
13:06Damn, you've been such a nice guy
13:14Police siren
13:21Boyd
13:24Are we okay?
13:26Seriously?
13:28I don't have time to talk about anything like this
13:30Are we though?
13:31I didn't mean to step on any toes back there
13:33I'm used to it
13:34It won't happen again, I promise
13:36Daz is in charge and he deserves to be
13:40Are you up for a drink later?
13:41We could debrief, destress
13:44I really need to catch up from sleep
13:46Just for an hour
13:47We could have dinner, maybe
13:48Harper might be up for it
13:50I can't talk about socialising, okay?
13:53Wait
13:54What?
13:58It's been horrible losing you
14:01You're the only guy I can talk to about anything
14:06Everything changes
14:07We have something special, you know that
14:09Hat
14:10It means too much to me, mate
14:11I can't just let our friendship go
14:13Hey
14:18Are we ever going to go back to the way things were?
14:20No
14:21Boyd
14:22I'm not the same person anymore
14:24Neither am I
14:25This has changed both of us and maybe if we work on it we can
14:28I'm sorry
14:31Hey, I spoke with Naz
14:33You must be relieved
14:34Yeah
14:37Well, come on
14:38We've got a uterine transplant to discuss
14:40Right
14:44This type of transplant is still very new
14:47Well, it has been done successfully
14:49Over a hundred times internationally
14:51Obviously it's riskier than a haemosterectomy, though
14:53I can do this transplant
14:55I've done the research
14:56Yeah, you've glossed over some important facts in the patient's history
14:59Like?
15:00Megan's son, Hamish, had rhabdomyosarcoma
15:03And now his sister has uterine cancer
15:05And Megan wants to help her
15:07The tests show they're compatible
15:09Maybe too compatible
15:11Look, if there are hereditary factors involved
15:13A close family donor may also carry a higher risk of cancer
15:16OK, something to advise the patients about
15:18Any other objections?
15:20Yes, the sisters have a tendency to reverse their decisions at the last minute
15:24This does ring some bells
15:25Me and Marty really struggled to get consent for Hamish's surgery
15:28But Megan eventually approved
15:30And then Charlotte got involved and the whole thing got real complicated
15:32So you think we might hit a similar roadblock with this transplant?
15:35Look, there's time pressure
15:36Charlotte needs to act now if she wants to save her fertility
15:39Exactly
15:40Megan might change her mind about having children in the future
15:42Megan's ruled that out?
15:44It's only been a few months since she lost her son
15:46Surely she's still grieving?
15:47Or do you just feel guilty you couldn't save him?
15:51I do
15:52I obviously feel bad about that
15:54I'm just saying it's an emotional might field
15:57OK, so what's your call?
15:59I think it's best we decline
16:01Well, then we decline
16:04No way!
16:05Well, I agree with Nazar
16:07Charlotte wants children
16:09And her sister is willing to give her that gift
16:12For now
16:13Do you understand what a rare opportunity this is?
16:16This family has lost a child
16:18And now they have a chance to make it right
16:21What?
16:23I think this case might be a bit loaded for you
16:26Megan lost her son, like Boyd
16:28On your watch
16:29That's on you
16:30I did everything I could
16:31Please, I need to do this
16:34Let me help this family
16:37Drew, this kind of personal reaction
16:39Shows why you shouldn't be attending this transplant
16:41I agree
16:42So, that's it? Veto?
16:45We're not taking it to the ministry
16:47Another hospital can apply to do it
16:49But not Shortland Street
16:50So can you please inform your patient?
17:00About time
17:02I'll go
17:07You alright?
17:09Drew
17:11What's going on?
17:13He's destabilised after Boyd and Romulus
17:17And he's got his heart set on a next level transplant
17:20That I've just told him he can't do
17:22And I've got a meeting in five minutes
17:25Have you eaten something today?
17:27Not yet
17:28What were you saying?
17:30You know what, it's not important right now
17:32Are you sure?
17:33Yeah, go, get to your meeting
17:36See, it's gone now
17:38Well, are you sure you left it there?
17:39Absolutely, I always park it here
17:41Double locked, wheel and frame
17:43Maybe someone really wanted it
17:45Selina, have you seen my bike?
17:47I'm sorry
17:49There is a thief in our midst
17:51Have you spoken to security?
17:53Yes, yes, that's my next step
17:55Wait, there he is
17:57Oh, no shit
17:59So, what are we going to do?
18:02Oh, no shit
18:04So, what's this all about?
18:06I think Madonna took the bike
18:08Why didn't you tell him?
18:09I think it's a surprise
18:10She didn't actually say that she was going to take the bike
18:12But then again, she didn't really say anything
18:14Yeah, okay, whatever
18:15I'm over Madonna shenanigans
18:17But how was your uncle's funeral down south?
18:19Oh, yeah, yeah, it was good
18:21Yeah, it was nice
18:23But it was sad
18:27I got out of the coach
18:28You knew that I made it up
18:30Yeah, you made it up
18:31Well, can you please remind me next time I'm tempted to lie
18:33That it cost me $120 in Uber rides
18:36And a stupidly overpriced burger
18:38Plus, I had to dig deep down and squeeze out some tears for Phil on the ride out there
18:41And that was the second ride out there
18:43You just lied right now to Thaddeus
18:47Why am I like this?
18:55Come on, you can't give up that easily
18:57It's out of my hands
18:58You're HOD
18:59That counts for very little when Esther's against it
19:02How did you try to persuade her?
19:04Why didn't you tell me about the meeting? I could have come
19:06Naz has difficult history with the donor
19:08So? He doesn't have to be involved
19:10He's paid anyway
19:11I know, right?
19:12But I'm just treated like a third bloody wheel
19:15I can't believe Esther's blocking it
19:17She's too cautious
19:18She thinks the donor might flip-flop
19:20But these women know exactly what they want
19:22Totally focused
19:23They just want to go for it
19:25Isn't that supposed to be a good thing?
19:27Absolutely
19:28They'll probably up and take it to another hospital when I'm right here ready to do it
19:31With me assisting, I hope?
19:33Of course
19:34But it's not going to happen while they're thinking like managers and not doctors
19:38Try again, it's worth it
19:41If Esther wasn't a brick wall, maybe
19:43But she is, so
19:45Now I've got to go break the bad news
19:47Wish me luck
19:53So, I'm still employed
19:54I can only assume you haven't told Esther
19:56She's got a lot going on right now
19:57Usually does
19:58I'm not going to add to that
19:59Right now?
20:00What are you about?
20:01I don't know
20:04Everything okay?
20:05Drew, I'm happy we're not doing the uterine transplant
20:08Well, you made the right call, mate
20:10Megan's still deep in grief for Hamish
20:12She could change her mind and want more kids
20:14Exactly
20:15Or you could trust that a woman knows what she wants to do with her own body
20:17Mon, this is different
20:19Really?
20:20Because it looks like to me two men standing around making decisions about women's bodies
20:23That's not what's happening here
20:25Whatever
20:26I feel for her, glad I don't have to go through that again
20:29What do you mean?
20:30When I got my tubes dyed, everyone tried to talk me out of it
20:33But, best decision I ever made
20:35You've had a
20:36Tubal ligation, yeah
20:38So you obviously don't want children
20:40Never have, never will
20:42Well, it's not for everyone I guess
20:45Okay
20:46So you can keep your opinions to yourself
20:47Or you could just keep charging around this hospital
20:49Making decisions for everyone
20:51I know how you doctors love to do that
20:57I'm sorry
20:59About your son
21:01Hamish was my everything
21:03He'll never be replaced
21:05You're grieving him
21:07But also the life you would have had together
21:09It's so
21:11The pain, it's so deep
21:14Yeah, it becomes a part of you
21:17Every single day
21:20But he's with me
21:23But he's with me
21:27That's why the transplant would feel right
21:30I don't need another child
21:32I don't want another child
21:34Yeah, I know how that feels
21:36Did you lose one too?
21:39A son
21:40At birth, early last year
21:43What was his name?
21:44Your son?
21:46Portkey
21:48That means last born
21:51Beautiful
21:54So you really feel like this chapter's closed?
21:57I do, completely
22:00And I want to do this for Charlotte
22:09What are you doing here?
22:11I wanted to extend my condolences
22:14Did you break the bad news?
22:16I've been bracing myself
22:18Change of plan
22:19I'm backing the transplant
22:21Oh, thank God
22:24Brilliant news
22:25I've been looking for a ray of sunshine today
22:27But I will be hitting the surgery myself
22:30Don't trust me
22:32Nobody does
22:34No, it has nothing to do with that
22:36It's my project
22:37And you'll be handing it over
22:39Why?
22:40I'm the right surgeon for the job
22:41You've never done a uterine transplant either
22:43Well, I've just spoken to Megan
22:44And I feel like I understand her better now
22:46What does that mean?
22:48As you said, she is grieving
22:50But I think her decision is a good one
22:52Oh, you two have bonded over losing a child
22:54Is that it?
22:55As if no one else knows what that feels like
22:57True
22:58I have been feeling that every single day
23:00And you are stopping me from making that right
23:03I understand you're hurting
23:06But you need to pull your head in
23:08You can either accept that you are part of the team
23:10Or you can walk away
23:11And leave Shortland Street for good
23:18Shortland Street
