00:00Previously on Shawmonstry.
00:02Let's renew our powers and make a fresh start.
00:06What did you say?
00:07Pass.
00:08Are you still shaky at home?
00:09She's been distant for ages.
00:11And I don't think saying I do again is going to fix anything.
00:14I want to be co-CEO.
00:16The fact that you don't have a medical degree, it just means that it can't ever happen.
00:19I'm sorry, Mum, but I can't share the CEO position with you.
00:21I get it. I am such a mess and I am constantly getting wrapped up in your shit.
00:25I quit.
00:26Mum!
00:27Also, Maddie.
00:28We kissed.
00:30Yeah.
00:36Look, I get you're upset, but don't go there.
00:38What, you think I'm lying, throwing it in for spite?
00:40You're not.
00:41Nope.
00:42And sorry, it's not my fault he didn't tell you.
00:46Fine, you want to quit, put it in writing.
00:48I am responsible for a major accident.
00:50Do I really need to put that in writing?
00:52Yeah.
00:53And you can carry on packing all your things.
00:55You don't need an exit interview.
00:56You'll have your reference in three days.
00:58Okay.
00:59Are you okay with this, all the secrets?
01:01It's not okay. He shouldn't be allowed to treat you like this.
01:03You have been a valuable member of the team and I wish you all the best in your future endeavours.
01:09Well, I wish you the best with your fake marriage.
01:17Hey, Phil.
01:18Congratulations on all of the eye and the tooth.
01:21Tooth and the eye.
01:22Oh, okay, I knew it was one of those.
01:24Hey, filling Harper in on all the drama.
01:26What's going on?
01:27Oh, no, nothing.
01:28Are you still on for drinks tonight?
01:30Yeah, I wouldn't miss it.
01:31Oh, someone say drinks?
01:33Ah, yes, Villy and Philly have got a date.
01:36Would you call it a date?
01:38If someone forced me to label it, yeah.
01:41What are you two? So cute.
01:44All right, I've got to roll.
01:45Yeah, me too.
01:46Later?
01:47Can't wait.
01:50Well, at least some people are getting on.
01:52Are you talking about us?
01:53I don't think she's that into him.
01:55You didn't see what I saw.
01:56Well, it is none of my business.
01:58We could learn something from them.
02:00I have a diabetic foot ulcer to debride.
02:08Check her pain levels.
02:09If it's higher than a five, I'll up her pain relief.
02:11Let me know.
02:12Sure, um, one more thing.
02:14Alfie's down, like, really down.
02:16Should I sort a counseling appointment for him?
02:18Good idea.
02:19I'll suggest it to him and his parents.
02:21So sad.
02:22One injury in your whole life can change.
02:24It's like a love match when your fan favourite goes home,
02:26but they could have won the whole show.
02:28Except way, way worse.
02:30I've sworn to Alfie's parents,
02:31and they feel terrible that they can't afford the operation.
02:35Can I have a word?
02:36Sure.
02:38Oh, you want the husband, not the nurse.
02:40I'll get on.
02:43Hey, babe. What's up?
02:46Mon quit.
02:47Seriously?
02:48Why? Because you wouldn't give her the co-CEO thing?
02:51Well, she's upset.
02:53Ah, she'll change her mind when she cools down.
02:55Oh, I think maybe there's more to it.
02:58The accident?
02:59Maybe. Well, you guys are close, right?
03:02I mean, yeah, kind of.
03:04Any thoughts?
03:06No, sorry.
03:08But I'll let you know if I think of anything.
03:10I'll see you soon, babe.
03:17Oh, you stupid, good-for-nothing jar.
03:20You literally have one jar, and it has to open and close.
03:23Just open.
03:25What did the peanut butter jar do to you?
03:27It's what it's not doing.
03:30You just can't rely on anything these days.
03:33Everyone and everything is just going to let you down.
03:35Right.
03:36I am trying this new thing, and I'm just like...
03:39I'm just expressing how I feel.
03:41And just right now, I just really, really feel rage, you know?
03:47What?
03:51Who do they think they are?
03:52Who?
03:53Marnie and Esther.
03:54They're constantly playing these games, and they're dragging me in,
03:57but I don't know how to play because they're always just changing the rules.
04:00OK, back up. What's actually happened?
04:02Esther does not take me or my job seriously.
04:05So I quit.
04:07What?
04:08What?
04:09I can't work in that toxic workplace anymore.
04:11With Esther?
04:12Marnie and Esther.
04:13What's Marnie got to do with it?
04:14Boy kissed him.
04:16OK, well, so you and Marnie...
04:19No, we're not having an affair or anything.
04:21OK, so the kiss was just...
04:23I don't know. It's just like...
04:24It's just like old, stupid feelings, you know?
04:27Those kind of feelings that you just cannot get rid of,
04:29no matter how hard you try.
04:31OK, so you resigned, and then in the same breath,
04:35you told the CEO that you kissed her husband.
04:37Yes, Phil, you don't have to be so judgmental.
04:40I'm not judging.
04:41Marn, you're a badass.
04:43Why do I feel like the ground is, like, opening up beneath me?
04:46Because you made a decision in a moment of passion,
04:49and it's understandable.
04:52I don't regret it.
04:53Good.
04:55It takes guts to move on.
04:58Those kids, Phil...
05:01They're bus drivers.
05:05That's all I know.
05:07I don't see what the problem is.
05:09We'll be discharging MacLeod in a few days.
05:11His face is healing really well.
05:12I'm not complaining about Mac's care.
05:14I'm complaining about you pressuring him
05:16to front for Alfie's surgical bill.
05:18Dad, neither Dr. Rashad or myself
05:20said anything to Mac about Alfie's surgery.
05:22Well, then how did he get the idea into his head?
05:24I can think for myself, Dad.
05:26Alfie needs the surgery.
05:27If his leg doesn't heal, then he will...
05:28Mac, leave it.
05:30I'm not a charity case, OK?
05:32Well said, Alfie.
05:34OK, well, I'll be back to check on you both soon.
05:37Marty?
05:38I just want a word with Alfie and his parents.
05:40I told them to go home for a rest.
05:42Nothing they can do here.
05:44OK, I'll be back soon.
05:49Tell me you didn't put that idea in Mac's head.
05:51I didn't.
05:52But he's right, his dad could pay.
05:54Why? Because he's wealthy?
05:55Because it's unfair.
05:57Well, how's that Mr. Mahersfall?
05:58It's not.
05:59But there's a kid who needs help right in front of him.
06:01His son can see it, why can't he?
06:03You need to stay out of it.
06:05Well, I could pay for his surgery.
06:06Not a good idea.
06:08Well, you paid for Edda's MRI.
06:09One test, not her entire treatment.
06:11Yeah, a test that helped save her life.
06:13Getting financially involved in a patient's care gets messy, trust me.
06:17This is Alfie's scholarship on the line.
06:19His dream of playing professional rugby, becoming an All Black.
06:22I'd advise against it.
06:24The fact is, we can't help everyone.
06:29Email from HR.
06:31Monique's resigned?
06:33Yeah, Esther said.
06:34When?
06:35Earlier today.
06:36Did she say why?
06:37I haven't been able to talk to Mon yet.
06:41Don't bother, she's not replying.
06:43Just taking time to herself, I guess.
06:49Is that the post?
06:51Yeah.
06:52I kicked out such a fuss about Mum's ashes.
06:55It'd be nice for people to know that she's where she belongs.
07:01That was Nan.
07:03Sina.
07:04How is she?
07:05Good.
07:06She wants us to visit her in Samoa.
07:08Well, OK, but we can't just pack up and leave.
07:11I mean, you've got school, I've got work.
07:13But we could try and find cover.
07:15You deserve a break.
07:17It's not an option right now.
07:19Bailey, come and help me with the popcorn.
07:20Then you can choose the movie.
07:26You don't want to try and make it work.
07:28We are swamped right now.
07:30We always are.
07:31Selena can take a look at the rosters.
07:33And we can take another financial hit.
07:35I could, I don't know, work some extra shifts.
07:39Sina could have asked first.
07:41Instead of just assuming that we could drop everything and pay for a holiday.
07:44Honey, she's worried about Bailey.
07:46She knows how much he loves Leanne.
07:48She just, she just wants to help.
07:50It's nice he has more family to lean on too.
07:53Yeah.
07:54Like, is it just about money or is it something else?
07:56Yeah, I'll, I'll think about it.
07:58Yeah.
08:00Bailey, come sit with me.
08:02I'll watch five minutes of this movie
08:04before I go back to work.
08:11Katie Pye, I will sort it, thank you.
08:14Hey, all good?
08:15Um, Debbie can't take you at a hiker practice anymore
08:17and I am doing two jobs now, so...
08:19I can take it.
08:20No, it's all good, I can sort it.
08:22Babe, it's not a problem.
08:23It's fine.
08:24What do you want?
08:25Alfie's family have run out of options and so have I.
08:28He needs this knee surgery, so
08:30I'm going to get a team together to do it for free.
08:32Yeah, everyone's up to their knees, it's not a good time.
08:34Well, we can do it outside the hospital, Alice.
08:36Better no.
08:38Okay.
08:39Alfie is struggling and I'm worried about his mental health.
08:41If he doesn't get...
08:42Well, then talk to Psych.
08:43No.
08:44I'm not just going to sweep this under the rug.
08:46You're not, that's a change.
08:48What do you mean?
08:49Sorry, guys.
08:50It's all good, we're done here.
08:55You okay?
08:57Oh, sorry, excuse me.
08:59Do you look...
09:00What?
09:01Nothing, just Drew springing a date night on me.
09:05That's sweet, isn't it?
09:07Yes, it is.
09:08I just...
09:10A bit of notice would have been nice.
09:12You and Drew, you're solid, right?
09:14Of course.
09:16How do you deal with trust issues?
09:19Um, much the same as anyone else, I guess.
09:22Has something happened between you and Marty?
09:24Well, we're just working through some things.
09:27You guys are each other's rocks.
09:29We'll figure it out.
09:30Um, I need to get going.
09:32Sure, thanks.
09:53What are you doing?
09:54The lighting in here is awful.
09:56Yeah, you're telling me.
09:57Somebody spent 5,000 hours in a shower?
09:59Well, scrubbing off Shortland Street takes 5,000 hours.
10:04Oh, don't tell me.
10:06It'll be Esther asking you to come back to work.
10:11It is a nazar.
10:13Don't serve drinks with me.
10:15Maybe you two will work out now that you're not working together.
10:18You reckon?
10:19Yeah.
10:20Working together day in, day out.
10:23No...
10:24Breathing room.
10:25No distance.
10:27Claustrophobic.
10:28So why aren't you dating a postie instead of a nurse?
10:31Billy is different.
10:33Yeah.
10:34Billy is chill.
10:36And he's not pressuring me.
10:38Just having fun.
10:40And that's what you want right now?
10:42Yeah, always.
10:43Okay.
10:44Well, nazar has no chill, and it would be a straight-up interrogation.
10:48Like, why did you quit your job?
10:50Well, it shows he cares.
10:52No, it shows he cares.
10:53Or he's just, like, glad that I'm not going to be going out for co-CEO.
10:57Didn't think I could handle it.
10:58Oh, no, you need to forget about work.
11:00It doesn't matter anymore.
11:01Okay?
11:02Just focus on breaking free off the triangle of doom.
11:06I'm not going to use nazar for that.
11:08You're not using anyone.
11:09You're just asserting yourself.
11:11Proving your independence.
11:12Separating yourself from the toxicity.
11:14Yes, well, every time we see each other, we argue.
11:17You've got a spark.
11:18Yeah, well, it would be so much easier to just veg out here.
11:21I'm not letting you give up.
11:22Go, put this on, make yourself even more beautiful.
11:29Okay.
11:39Alright, thanks.
11:41Hey, what is this?
11:44Did we miss a payment?
11:45No, no, no.
11:46What's that?
11:48It's me.
11:49Well, it's got to be your card.
11:51Yeah, what date is it?
11:55Oh, yes, I withdrew that cash.
11:57What was it for?
11:59A plumber.
12:00You remember the bathroom tap was leaking?
12:02I said I'd fix it.
12:04Yes, you did.
12:06Well, I didn't, I made it worse.
12:07Then I called a plumber before you got home and he fixed it.
12:10And some of the mess I made.
12:12Why didn't you tell me?
12:13Because I was embarrassed.
12:14You had enough to deal with.
12:15I thought I could deal with a dripping tap.
12:17No, don't do that again.
12:19Don't worry, I won't.
12:20No, I mean take money out without telling me.
12:23Babe, it's not a big deal.
12:24I just, I need to know.
12:26Why, what do you think I'm spending it on?
12:28Hey, um, the baby with the croup is doing so much better.
12:30Hopefully she'll be discharged soon.
12:31Good, that's great to hear.
12:33We'll catch up later.
12:35Okay.
12:36Sorry to interrupt your love fest.
12:39Hey, did Mon say anything to you about quitting?
12:42No, nothing.
12:43Talk about a blindside.
12:44Has she seen more stress to you lately?
12:46Well, the bus crashed into a massive spin.
12:48I mean, I knew she was upset about it, but to just up and get it like that?
12:51I don't know, I just hope it's not true.
12:53This place wouldn't be the same without her.
12:56Speaking of not right.
12:58Hey, VIP.
12:59Want us to get you a TV in here?
13:01I reckon I could pull some strings.
13:03That's all good.
13:04You're just charging me soon, right?
13:05We're not giving up yet, are we?
13:07Marty always finds a way to save the day.
13:10Well, I need to talk to your parents before I can say anything.
13:12Please, just tell me.
13:15Without money, there's nothing you can do, right?
13:18I'm really sorry, mate.
13:20Hey, it's okay.
13:22I mean, it's not, but you're young, and there are so many other opportunities out there for you.
13:28Hey, so don't be mad, but I caught Senna.
13:47Why?
13:48Well, I filled her in on our financial situation, and she said she'd pay for Billy.
13:53He can travel over by himself.
13:55He's too young to do that.
13:57Well, unaccompanied minors fly all the time.
14:00The cabin crew will look after him.
14:02They stay with him right until Senna picks him up.
14:04I said he's too young.
14:06You don't want Billy to spend time with his nan.
14:08Yes, of course I do, but I just don't want you going behind my back.
14:12I was trying to help.
14:13Don't.
14:15Nick, I think it's a good thing that Billy spends time with the rest of his family.
14:19Can you just stop, okay?
14:21We don't want any favours, all right?
14:23And I don't want to be in debt to anyone else.
14:26Wow.
14:28Hey, you look lovely.
14:31Date night.
14:32Romance, what's that again?
14:33Drew insisted I'd rather go home and have a hot bath.
14:36You'll enjoy it when you get there.
14:37Or maybe you just tell Drew you're not in the mood.
14:41Multiple MBA and coming to ED.
14:44Let's go.
14:45Same.
14:48Um, not you.
14:49You're finished.
14:50I've got this.
14:52She's not going to make it.
14:57Great.
14:58That is just great.
15:01Sorry, mate.
15:03It's okay.
15:04Story of our lives.
15:06Anyway, what are we drinking?
15:10Oh, slow down.
15:12I'm sorry.
15:13I'm sorry.
15:14I'm sorry.
15:15I'm sorry.
15:16I'm sorry.

15:38I'm sorry.
15:39I'm sorry.
15:40I'm sorry.
15:41I'm sorry.
15:42I'm sorry.
15:43I'm sorry.
15:44I'm sorry.
15:45I'm sorry.
15:46I'm sorry.

16:08I'm sorry.
16:09I'm sorry.
16:10I'm sorry.
16:11I'm sorry.
16:12I'm sorry.
16:13I'm sorry.
16:14I'm sorry.
16:16Forty-five-year-old female, front seat passenger, unrestrained, ejected from the vehicle.
16:20BP 90 over 60, pulse 120.
16:22Um, respiratory distress and probable internal bleeding.
16:25Start two IVs, please.
16:26Onto it.
16:27Nick, update.
16:29Fifty-two-year-old female, driver, restrained, conscious, but disorientated.
16:34Abrasions and lacerations to her face and to her arm.
16:39Complaining of some abdominal pain, but her vital signs seem stable for now.
16:46We have a tension pneumothorax.
16:47We need to decompress immediately.
16:49Sure.
16:50She's arrested.
16:51Go, go, go.
16:52I'm good.
16:53Go.
16:56You okay, Nicole?
16:58Yep.
16:59Charging to 200 joules.
17:03Clear.
17:08Start compressions.
17:10I'll draw up your treatment now.
17:15Okay, okay, okay.
17:18Sinus rhythm.
17:22Good work, Nick.
17:30Evening, Dr. Walker.
17:32Dropping off some new headphones for Mac.
17:35Should keep him occupied for five minutes.
17:37New headphones? Not cheap.
17:39Well, how's Alfie holding up?
17:42Not good.
17:44Well, I'm not surprised.
17:46He'd be wishing he'd done more damage.
17:48Excuse me?
17:49Well, his knee.
17:50Then he could have the op.
17:52Well, that's not really a helpful way to look at it.
17:54Just saying.
17:55He'd still have a scholarship then.
17:57Well, he deserves to still have a scholarship anyway.
18:00Well, not if he can't play.
18:01I mean, that's the only reason he's there.
18:03This accident wasn't his fault.
18:05And playing rugby is all he's ever wanted.
18:07It's bad luck, all right.
18:09But maybe he's better off this way.
18:12What do you mean?
18:13He's not cut out for it.
18:15The pressure, the determination it takes to play for a top school.
18:19A lot of these scholarship boys aren't.
18:22How can you even say that?
18:24I've seen it.
18:25Their background doesn't prepare them for it.
18:28Their parents either don't care or they take it too easy on them.
18:32Then they get thrust into the big league and they can't cope.
18:35It's just the way it is.
18:37Well, I think you're wrong.
18:39You'll get it.
18:41When your children get older, you'll see that kids like Alfie,
18:46they're better off in their own world.
18:54I'm calling it a night.
18:56This is all on me.
18:57Oh, no, mate, you don't have to do that.
18:59Shh.
19:00It's the least I can do.
19:03OK, but that's your driver's license.
19:05No, I'm over 18.
19:08It's hard to believe I am.
19:10You know, you don't have to go if you want to stay.
19:12No, no, no.
19:14I am off.
19:16You two have been adorable.
19:19Harper and I were like you once.
19:23That's me.
19:25Don't do anything I wouldn't do.
19:28Thanks, Drew.
19:29See you tomorrow.
19:33I hope he's OK.
19:34I hope he has a lot of water.
19:38Did he sound a bit lonely to you?
19:40I think he was just a bit tipsy.
19:41Nostalgic, maybe.
19:43Yeah, maybe he just needs his mates around him a little more.
19:45Maybe he needs his wife.
19:47Yeah.
19:51Hey, cheers to some alone time, finally.
19:55Cheers to that.
20:03You.
20:05You were amazing.
20:06Stop it.
20:07No, no.
20:08I love seeing my wife's praises.
20:12It did feel pretty good.
20:16Things are getting better, you think?
20:20Yeah.
20:23It's a good feeling knowing that she's here with us finally.
20:27Mm-hmm.
20:28And disagreeing with all our decisions.
20:30I can almost hear the passé comments.
20:34You know, I think...
20:38I think Liam won't be allowed to see Sina.
20:43No, it's too soon.
20:46He needs more time.
20:49Does he?
20:50He's grieving, too.
20:52OK, so maybe some time away with his nan would help.
20:58Get away from his sad, clingy mum, you mean.
21:02I understand why you don't want him to go.
21:04I just need him close to me right now.
21:07OK.
21:08I know it's selfish.
21:10I get it.
21:11No, you think just because I'm feeling lonely doesn't mean that I can keep him all to myself, right?
21:20I never said that.
21:23You didn't have to.
21:29So you're letting him go?
21:42Hey, um, Psyche flagged Alfie for his low mood and referred him to his GP,
21:46and now Naza wants me to discharge him. We have to do something.
21:49Relax. Alfie's getting his surgery tomorrow morning.
21:52What, you're serious? Oh my God, that's amazing.
21:54Yeah.
21:56But wait, what changed? How did his family find the money?
21:59I don't know. A relative must have pulled through or something.
22:02It's great, though, huh?
22:03Yeah, weird timing, though. Why would you wait so long to step up if you already had the cash?
22:07I don't know.
22:09Unless you've paid for the surgery yourself, haven't you?
22:12Esther is all over our finances and wouldn't approve, so no.
22:15Did you convince Max's dad to pay for the surgery?
22:17That man doesn't have an empathetic bone in his body.
22:21Get your cheese.
22:22Hey, Sage.
22:26Marty.
22:27What? Who's correct?
22:29Unless Mac is walking out here looking like Kendall Jenner, no it is not.
22:33Sage, leave it.
22:35I'm sorry, but when I find a mystery, I have to solve it.
22:38You've tacked Alfie's surgical bill onto Max.
22:41What, are you like Robin Hood or something?
22:43Hardly.
22:45Does Esther know?
22:46What do you think?
22:47It's secrets from your wife.
22:49I'm your marriage expert, but that's not good, right?
22:51Look, Fergus Mayhew could drop a hundred dollar note and he wouldn't even bother to pick it up.
22:54He's not going to notice an extra few thousand on a medical bill.
22:57It's fraud, Marty.
22:58It is nothing to him and it is everything to Alfie.
23:00Marty.
23:01Look, I really don't care what you or Esther or anyone else has to say about it.
23:04Alfie is getting his surgery, no matter what.
23:09This is all on me, Sage. You've got nothing to worry about.
23:11No good deed.
23:12I'm an accomplice. I could lose my job.
23:14Goes unpunished.
23:15How can you stay so calm when Esther finds out?
23:17Don't lie.
