00:01Previously on Shortland Street
00:03Do you think they even know we're here?
00:05I think you two need some privacy.
00:08So, what's wrong?
00:10He's dead! Toby!
00:12Oh no!
00:14A labradoodle.
00:17Are you still worried about jinxing things, Mon? You're gonna be fine.
00:19Everything okay?
00:21Yeah, of course. Where would it be?
00:22Sorry, you just seem...
00:24Never mind.
00:25Is she always so hot and cold?
00:27In a relationship with a co-worker, it's pretty tricky.
00:29Because it could be both your careers on the line if things don't work out.
00:31Maybe we should stay as solely workmates.
00:33Okay, yeah.
00:35If that's what you want.
00:37Good night, Monique.
00:43Wait, what do you mean he rejected you?
00:45He took one look at me and decided he wanted nothing to do with me.
00:49He just...
00:50He just... depivoted.
00:52I don't know.
00:53He took it all back like it never happened.
00:55What's going on?
00:57Well...
00:58Not one single thing out of the ordinary.
01:00Just me being rejected and alone as per.
01:02Oh, Mon, I'm sorry.
01:04It's okay.
01:05You guys could stop looking at me.
01:07Just pretend I'm not here.
01:08That'd be great.
01:09Look, if Nazza can't see what's right in front of him, it is his loss.
01:13Yeah.
01:14Come on, you know you're a catch.
01:15Honestly, if he can't see that, it's not your fault.
01:17She's right.
01:18Yeah, she is.
01:20It's not my fault, it's yours.
01:21My fault?
01:22Yeah.
01:23You convinced me to go and tell him how I felt.
01:25I did not convince.
01:27But with all your talk about love and relationships,
01:29you made me believe that it could happen for me too.
01:32Because it can.
01:33No, it can't.
01:34It only ever happens to other people, not me.
01:37Mon.
01:38Was this your plan?
01:39For both of you?
01:40Look, the apathetic Monique goes, thinking she's a chance with Nazza.
01:45Okay, cool.
01:46Well, I hope you're happy.
01:54You're still awake?
01:56Oh, you're joking.
01:58I just can't believe he's gone.
02:01Our time with our furry friends is never long enough.
02:05But Toby will live on in our hearts and in our memories.
02:09He will be immortalised in the world around us.
02:13That was beautiful.
02:18Poor thing.
02:19I hope you're talking about yourself.
02:20Selina.
02:21Don't play all high and mighty.
02:23Okay, very convenient that she turns up just as you and Thad were about to get it on.
02:26We weren't just about to get it on.
02:28Yeah, right.
02:30You two are a match made in nerdy events, so please, please hook up.
02:34Because I cannot deal with any more heart eyes across the living room.
02:39We were having a nice evening.
02:40Exactly, so let's turf her out.
02:43And you guys can get back to whatever it was you were doing.
02:45Her dog just died.
02:47We're not turfing her out.
02:49You know her and Thaddius, they make a great couple and they have so much in common.
02:53Whatever.
02:54That man is head over heels for you, okay?
02:57Plus, there's nothing less sexy than grief.
03:01Can we go to your room maybe?
03:03I just, I need some privacy.
03:06Of course.
03:07She's better than I thought.
03:15What'd I tell you?
03:16Great couple, meant to be.
03:20Whoa!
03:21That's quite a way to start.
03:23Come on.
03:24Nothing you drink, that's nothing.
03:25We do have work tomorrow.
03:27Loosen up.
03:30Would you like to, uh, talk about it?
03:33Work?
03:34I should be dead, Drew, and I just, I feel like I've been given a second chance, you know?
03:39To do things the way that I should do them.
03:42Which means?
03:43I don't know.
03:45Acting erratically?
03:47Acting erratically?
03:49I just want to have some fun.
03:51Surely you can get on board with that?
03:53Well, of course I can.
03:54And honestly, Drew, we can't keep going the way we have been.
03:58I'll get us some more.
04:09Here is your coffee, and my favourite keep cup.
04:11Oh, it's lovely.
04:13You like it?
04:14It's yours, get it?
04:15Keep cup.
04:16No, Thaddy, I couldn't.
04:17No, you can.
04:19Please, it would be my pleasure.
04:20Anything to make you feel better.
04:22Now, you have a lovely day at work, and I hope the couch wasn't too uncomfortable.
04:27Thank you so much for letting me stay last night.
04:31Oh, hi, Madonna.
04:32Hi, Fleur.
04:34Good morning.
04:35Hi.
04:36Sorry about last night, we kind of took over.
04:39God, yes, my fault, I'm so sorry.
04:41It's fine, it's so fine.
04:43How are you feeling today?
04:44Much better, all thanks to this one.
04:46He's a great friend, isn't he?
04:48Au contraire, I cancelled on you the night your dog died.
04:51You weren't to know.
04:52No, how could you have known?
04:54And then when you did, you came to my rescue.
04:59I'm going to make myself coffee, my hero.
05:02Hey, shouldn't you be getting to work soon?
05:04Oh, I suppose so.
05:06You two are cute together.
05:08Really?
05:09Yeah.
05:10Right.
05:12Are you all right?
05:14I've just remembered that Toby's not going to be there waiting for me at the door.
05:18Oh, I've got to pull myself together, I've got to get to this meeting.
05:21No, no, you can't drive like this, let me take you.
05:24No, no, I just need a minute.
05:26No, you cannot cry and drive, it's not safe.
05:29Trust me, I know.
05:30Let me get my keys.
05:33Tissue?
05:42If I didn't know any better, I'd swear you were hungover.
05:44Oh, ho, ho.
05:46Last night was fun, wasn't it?
05:47It was when you finally loosened up.
05:49Hey, I'm always down to party with my beautiful wife.
05:53Phil!
05:55You missed a good party last night.
05:56Right.
05:57Which means you should be all good to assist with my lung transplant this afternoon.
06:00Yeah, can do.
06:03Hi.
06:04Hi.
06:06Well, I'd better get back to work.
06:11So, are we...?
06:13We're good.
06:14Yeah, you know, we're colleagues.
06:16Colleagues, ouch.
06:19Friends.
06:20Friends, yeah.
06:22I'll catch you later.
06:24Yeah, sure.
06:30Hey.
06:31Abigail's test results.
06:32I want to avoid an exploratory laparotomy if possible, but we'll need to discuss the options with her family.
06:37Okay, sure, I'll book her in for a consult this afternoon.
06:39Okay.
06:40Um, I just wanted to check in and see if you're okay after calling things off with Mum.
06:44Don't forget, things travel quickly around this hospital.
06:47Yeah.
06:48I'm fine.
06:49Yesterday I put a few things into perspective and it seemed like the right thing to do.
06:53Right.
06:54Mum?
06:59Right, Lisa, the budget's on your desk.
07:01Thank you for that. You look...
07:02And muddy. I emailed you the results you asked for.
07:05Cheers, Mum.
07:11What were we talking about?
07:12I was just checking if you're okay.
07:13Yeah, yeah, fine.
07:15Okay.
07:21Oh, wow, I was not expecting this.
07:24Oh, I don't need your pity compliments.
07:26Oh, so she knows she looks good.
07:29Yeah, what difference does it make?
07:30Oh, so this is all just for show?
07:32Pretty much. I'm just trying to make myself believe it.
07:34Yeah, good call. You put on this beautiful mask at work and then when we get home it's just smoothies and track pants.
07:38I'm just going to put the light down. I'm not going to get up.
07:40You need to process the heartbreak.
07:42No, I need to get back to work.
07:44Sorry, it's going to be how much?
07:46And just to clarify, we are talking about a canine funeral. A labradoodle, to be exact.
07:51Okay, well, if you could email me through a quote, that would be great.
07:54And yes, please do include the dog-friendly afternoon tea. Thank you.
07:58A funeral for a dog? That is the sweetest thing you've ever...
08:02Fleur has her heart set on giving Toby a proper send-off.
08:06Hey, I'm just worried you're taking on too much. I mean, you're such a busy man already.
08:10How kind of you to worry about me.
08:12Daddy, I said...
08:13Oh, it's Fleur.
08:15You should take it.
08:16No, it's okay. What were you going to say?
08:17It's fine.
08:19Uh, look. No, no, just remember, deep breaths. Now, in two, three, out two, three.
08:27Wow, I know a perfect match when I see one. You and Mr. Magic over there?
08:31No, he's already got someone.
08:33Yeah, well, that's not going to last, is it?
08:35Why is that?
08:36Well, firstly, she's like a ten-plus, and while Thaddeus kind of has that wholesome cuteness thing going on,
08:41that kind of imbalance would've spelled doom before long.
08:43So you're saying she's too beautiful for it to work?
08:46Not just that, intelligence-wise.
08:48They're a perfect match.
08:50No, you see, I think she has the edge on him.
08:53It's not like Thaddeus is a dummy, but I've seen her courting French staff, and he just kind of looks at her like...
08:57Like he's all lovesick?
08:58No, like he doesn't get it.
09:00So you're saying they're a perfect match, but she's just a bit too beautiful and a bit too smart.
09:05Yeah, but with you two, it kind of all adds up.
09:09Great.
09:13Hey, when you get a chance, could we go see Mr. Lawson?
09:15Everything all right?
09:16Yeah, he's demanding to see my boss.
09:18Doesn't understand why he can't go home today after he was just having a simple thyroid injury.
09:22Did you explain that we found a ten-millimeter cyst in his surgery, so we have to wait for biopsy results?
09:27So many times.
09:28Typical. You try to be there for somebody, and you just get nowhere.
09:32Some of these patients, eh?
09:34Makes you wonder what the point of it all is.
09:37Yeah, well, you know, life as a surgeon.
09:39I mean, what's the point in trying if it's probably all just going to collapse anyway?
09:44You all right?
09:46Fine. I'll deal with him.
09:48No, it's all good. I've got it.
09:55We need you there.
09:57I would love to, but honestly, I've still got three hours left on my shift.
10:01Please, Dad. I don't think I can do this alone.
10:04When I think about Toby, Toby's body being in that little box, lifeless, and he's about to be shoved into a burning furnace.
10:13It's just, it's too awful.
10:16I'll see what I can do.
10:23Oh, God, you probably think I'm so stupid.
10:26Crying like this over a dog when people lose their families every day in here.
10:30I don't think you're stupid. I think losing a pet is just like losing a family member.
10:35You know, it really is.
10:37Thaddeus is a great support to you.
10:39So lucky I met him. And you're so lucky you get to live with him.
10:42You know, he's like the most caring person I've ever met.
10:45He is. And sometimes I think he might care too much.
10:49What do you mean?
10:52Well, Thaddeus has a lot on his plate here, and I do think he can't take too much on.
10:57Wait. I'm not overloading him, am I?
11:00Well, I...
11:02Oh. Oh, no. Look, I wouldn't want to be the reason that he's stressed.
11:06You know what I'm going to do? I'm going to call my sister, and I'm sure that she can come to Toby's cremation with me.
11:11She would?
11:12Well, look, even if she can't, I don't want to stress him out, okay?
11:14You know, I'll tell him now he doesn't need to come.
11:17Just stop.
11:19What?
11:21I think maybe you misunderstood me.
11:23I didn't mean that you were overloading Thaddeus.
11:27I meant that Thaddeus needs to take a break from work so that he can focus on what's important, like supporting his friend.
11:35Oh. Oh, thank God, because I can't do this alone. It's been hard enough as it is, you know?
11:44I know.
11:46Hey, you haven't actually shown me a photo of Toby. Maybe you can show me some?
11:51Okay.
11:54Oh, this was him at the park. He loved the park, you know?
11:58And, God, I don't think I can go to the park again.
12:04Hey, mate.
12:05Do you need me in the wards?
12:07No, no. All handled.
12:08Great. As long as I can get these notes finished, I might actually make it home before midnight.
12:12Right. Well, I won't keep you. I just wanted to talk briefly about one.
12:17Sure.
12:18I just wanted to check you're okay.
12:20Do I not seem okay?
12:22No, no. No, quite the opposite, actually. Both of you.
12:25Oh, that's probably because we are okay.
12:27Look, I appreciate your concern, but sometimes things don't work out, and that's okay.
12:33Well, it'd be a shame, though, if either of you was influenced by something someone said.
12:39Someone?
12:40Well, you both came to me for advice. I'm kind of worried you actually listened.
12:44Oh, I see.
12:46So, we good?
12:47Work and personal life, I'm keeping separate. This has become too messy.
12:51Right. I'm going to get back to these notes.
12:53Okay.
12:54Sure.
12:57Your turn.
12:58What?
13:00Oh, you look amazing.
13:02Oh, this old thing. I just bought it. It wasn't cheap.
13:06Well, it was worth it.
13:09Hey, I'm sorry that things didn't work out between you and Azza.
13:13Already forgotten?
13:15I'm sure he's kicking himself.
13:17Well, it's not my problem.
13:19You're right. In all honesty, I did think I was going to have a go at it.
13:23I'm sure he's kicking himself.
13:25Well, it's not my problem.
13:27You're right. In all honesty, I did think I was going to have a go at it.
13:30Like, really something. Something real.
13:34But in the end, it didn't work out.
13:36Well, it doesn't have to be the end.
13:38It's not just about me, though, right? There's two of us.
13:41Well, there was.
13:43Well, if you really want something, like really, really want something,
13:47and you know it's going to make your life better,
13:49you just push all those little doubts to the side and you go for it.
13:53I don't know.
13:54We never do.
13:56Doesn't mean we don't try.
14:08What's this for?
14:10I just wanted to say...
14:13Yeah?
14:16Thank you for comforting Fleur earlier.
14:18Don't mention it.
14:20You're very kind, Madonna.
14:22It's nothing. I just did what anyone would do.
14:25You made a real difference. She's a lot calmer.
14:28Well, Fleur will be waiting for you.
14:31I guess so. Wouldn't want to keep her.
14:34No.
14:36But the thing is...
14:37That is, I want... You go first.
14:39No, no. Ladies first.
14:43I'm really happy for you two.
14:45I'm just really happy that you're happy. You deserve it.
14:48How do you know I'm happy?
14:50Well, it's obvious that there's something between the two of you. Something real.
14:56I suppose so.
14:58Yeah. The way she talks about you.
15:00The way she wishes she could be around you all the time.
15:03The way she looks at you.
15:05And just...
15:07How happy you make her.
15:09You've really been paying attention, Maddy.
15:12It's clear.
15:14What's clear?
15:17She loves you.
15:19Oh.
15:22You're a lucky guy, Thad.
15:39Have fun.
15:40Thanks.
15:41Hey, you and Harper could join if you felt like it.
15:43Not tonight. We're just... We're in the mood.
15:46What's up?
15:47No, no, no. Just go on your date. Say hi from me.
15:50I've got time. Is everything okay with you two?
15:53Uh...
15:55I don't know.
15:57Ever since the shooting, things have just kind of been a bit up in the air.
16:01What, you two?
16:03Yeah. Maybe. I don't really know.
16:07I'm freaking out a bit.
16:11You think...
16:13That she might drop me? I don't know.
16:17Surely not. Just talk to her.
16:20You guys have been through so much. You'll be okay.
16:24I really don't know, mate.
16:26Look.
16:28If you two broke up, it would be awful.
16:31And I can't see it happening, but...
16:35You'd both survive, wouldn't you?
16:38I guess so.
16:41Does that help?
16:43To know that I'd keep breathing if I lost the love of my life.
16:54Hi. Hi.
16:56How was your day? Fine, thanks. You?
16:58Good. Mum, can we talk?
17:00Sorry, I'm in the middle of something. I've got to meet with Esther.
17:09So, I was thinking about what you said.
17:12Great. I was worried I'd overstepped.
17:15No, I think it's exactly what I needed to hear.
17:17Good.
17:19Now, if you're asking to leave early, I am totally fine with that.
17:22I will happily cover for you.
17:24You'll cover for me?
17:26Well, I mean, I'll try.
17:28There are many things you do that I don't understand, honestly.
17:31That's what I thought.
17:33Sorry?
17:35You don't know what I do in my job,
17:37but I am constantly covering you when you're in surgeries.
17:40And that's not the role of the operations manager.
17:42OK.
17:44What do you want?
17:46I want to be co-CEO.
17:49Excuse me?
17:51I'm going after what is truly going to make me happy,
17:54regardless of my doubts.
17:56And that is...
17:58co-CEO.
18:02Hi.
18:04Wow.
18:06You look so pretty, Madonna.
18:08I'm just going out to dinner with Sage,
18:10but don't worry, you and Fleur will have the house to yourself.
18:13But, um, I want to tell you...
18:15You know, Sage was right.
18:17Fleur is a ten-plus, and you shouldn't let that slip away.
18:20Sage.
18:21Yeah, that's silly.
18:23Nothing you say could ever be silly, Madonna.
18:25It's not me, it's him.
18:27I mean, he just keeps going on about how beautiful and intelligent Fleur is,
18:31and he thinks that Fleur is out of your league,
18:33but I know she's perfect for you.
18:35Me and Fleur?
18:36Yeah, it makes sense, the two of you together.
18:38No, it doesn't make sense.
18:40Hey, I need to get ready for tonight, so I'll talk to you later.
18:42Stop. Let me just say one thing, please.
18:45Sure.
18:51Madonna.
18:53Mads. Maddy.
18:55OK, sorry, I don't usually struggle for words like this.
18:58Are you OK?
19:00On that, it's difficult to articulate,
19:04because we're flatmates and colleagues,
19:08and on top of all of that, we're friends,
19:10and I don't want to lose any of it.
19:13Right. Well, that's that sorted, then.
19:15But in a way, I think we've already lost it,
19:18because I don't want to be just friends,
19:22and I don't think I ever did.
19:26My heart yearns for you, Madonna.
19:29What?
19:31I had long ago given up hope
19:33that you would ever see me as more than just a friend,
19:36that someone as brilliant and beautiful and kind as you
19:41would love someone as humdrum as me,
19:44but if I don't say it now, I will regret it for the rest of my life.
19:49You are the sun to my moon
19:52and the centre of my universe.
19:55Oh, wait, let me just...
20:00Is that...?
20:02Toby, yeah.
20:07Mon. Yeah?
20:09Can we talk? Now?
20:11I just want to catch up. I've, um, I've had a long day.
20:14Yeah, and I'm sorry to disturb you.
20:16I'm sure you're tired as well, yeah?
20:18Shall we just... Shall we leave it? But, Mon...
20:20So what? You got more to say?
20:22Have you realised that work-life balance is possible?
20:24You seen the light?
20:25Or have you come to double down?
20:27Haven't you hurt me enough?
20:28That wasn't my intention, and I don't... I don't have a plan.
20:30I just... I just want us to talk.
20:33OK.
20:35I think you say plenty yesterday.
20:45Well, I think we got all of it.
20:47Him, I should say.
20:49I think we'd make excellent crime scene investigators.
20:52Alternative career option?
20:54Yeah, I can see it now.
20:56I'm the bad cop.
20:57Naturally, yeah.
20:59Maybe it means we should never have pets.
21:02Noted. I'm allergic anyway.
21:04Noted.
21:07You know, it could mean we're destined to be together.
21:13Really? How so?
21:15We're scrabbling about in the mess of life and death.
21:18I see.
21:20It could mean we extend beyond the bounds of this earthly plane and into other worlds.
21:27It could mean nothing.
21:30It could mean everything.
21:47Hi.
21:51Hi.
21:55What's all this?
21:57All this is for you.
22:01It's beautiful.
22:04I know things have been really hard lately, and I understand why.
22:11You're everything to me. You're everything to our kids.
22:15There's nothing without you, and I don't want us to forget what's really important.
22:21And this distance between us, it's on me.
22:25And I'm so, so sorry.
22:29You mean too much to me.
22:33I'd do anything to make you happy.
22:39My life is nothing without you, and I think you feel the same.
22:46So...
22:52Let's renew our vows and make a fresh start.
23:00Mom, you're a badass.
23:03Why do I feel like the ground is, like, opening up beneath me?
23:06It's a sign, all right? From God.
23:10This place falls apart if we turn on each other.
23:12You're ridiculous.
23:13Look who's talking.
23:15It was a huge mistake.
23:16Are you blaming me?
23:17Wouldn't want your conscience if this gets any worse.
23:21It's crazy.
23:22Oh, Lord.
23:23That's all my fault.
